  SPEAKER_15: Good morning, Isaac.

  SPEAKER_16: Good morning, John.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_15: Good to see you, sir.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_15: Good to see you.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_15: Could you turn up my headphones just like a like a teeny tiny shake as we do a little live on-air production?
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_15: I like it blasting very loud.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_15: That's much better.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you very much.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_15: It is a Freedom Friday, which means you're on and off-topic comments all morning long to the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_15: We played a comment a moment ago.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_15: Good sport.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_15: He uh he actually wrote back and says, you know, take the feedback.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_15: Will not happen again.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_15: I blame it on being old.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_15: I'm 66.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_15: That's nothing.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_15: Nothing.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_15: Age is just a number, man.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_15: Age is just a number.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_15: I'll see how I feel when I hit 66.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_15: But thank you to those who have already um decided to partake in uh Freedom Friday to the blaster line.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_15: Again, 651-964-0294.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_15: If you want to email John.justice at AmericanExperiment.org.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_15: Every time we play the intro for Freedom Friday, I'm reminded that, you know, I think we're missing out on on well, I know we we get a good sample on Freedom Fridays with Katherine Johnson.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_15: You know, but it's funny because I don't think she realizes it, and I'm fairly certain that Isaac will agree with me.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_15: Like in terms of hot takes in the building, like her takes are pretty, pretty darn hot.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_15: Pretty hot.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_15: That's why I call her the wild card.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_15: Although, with our new Freedom Friday guest uh today, also a colleague here at Center of the Uh American Experiment, Jill Sandiger, um, she may be giving Catherine a run for her money.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_15: We'll see.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, she can make Catherine look like Ben Carson.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so she's no stranger.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_15: She's been on the podcast here before uh in the Center of the American Experiment Studios, so she's no stranger to uh the commentary, but is her first appearance here on a Freedom Friday.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_15: So hopefully uh she and Catherine will be joining us coming up right around the uh top of uh next hour.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_15: Max Reimer should be in in the next 20 minutes or so.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_15: Uh aka Kamara should be arriving sometime in the 7 o'clock hour as well.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_15: We'll continue with all of the major stories from the week, including there's new audio from uh leaders doing that thing with my fingers in the Somali community uh who are uh providing some interesting commentary.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_15: I had, you know, mentioned in the wake of all of the violence taking place and um ISIS wannabe terrorists who say that you know they uh Somalia is their homeland, even though they are actual legal, you know, naturalized citizens here in the in the United States, uh, that we need to hear more from the from the immigrant community calling out what's taking place to address these these issues.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_15: It cannot be ignored.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_15: Um maybe that's also a good idea.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_15: Certainly not based off of some of the commentary that was released yesterday.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_15: There's just a a lot of like head scratching going on regarding the way that this is being framed.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_15: For example, and I'll play the clip next hour.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_15: Uh there was one individual who led the press conference yesterday, this Assad Alaweed, um, talking about the Somali youth gang violence.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_15: You know, on the one hand, he goes and he says that you cannot singularly blame the Somali community for the gangbangers, but then also says you can't singularly blame the gangbangers because it's a youth and gun violence problem.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_15: So, um you can't you can't you can't have a b- can't have it both ways.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_15: You could try.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_15: You could try to have it both ways, but it doesn't really make a whole lot of rational sense.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_15: There's still a lot of frustration of people.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, you just say the word Somali now, and everyone just goes everyone just kind of freaks out, right?
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_15: Because they don't want to point this out.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_15: And it's mostly coming from the left because as we've been talking about on the show, this is going to be impactful on these uh elections coming up in what, 25, 26, 27 days or something like that at this point, this point in time.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_15: Like the timing on all of this when it comes to the DFL in Minnesota could not have been uh worse.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_15: I ended up uh going on news uh newsmax last night.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_15: We pre-recorded it uh in the afternoon.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_15: I was not aware.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_15: I thought we were gonna be airing it at 145 because I've done the afternoon show at Newsmax, and then I posted it online.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_15: Hey, come watch.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna be on with Liz Collins, talking with the dude from Newsmax at 145, to which Liz responded, going, uh, John, this is recorded and it'll air at 7 o'clock.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_15: I was like, oh.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_15: I was better with the prime time appearance, you know, but it's a lot easier when you record these things than it is when you're live.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_15: You think it wouldn't matter?
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_15: Like I do not get nervous at all when I come and do the show, not even in the slightest.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_15: It's just like driving a car, right?
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_15: Sometimes you drive it good, sometimes you drive it bad.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_15: Sometimes you break a few rules.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_15: But when you go on these national shows, it's just it's a different, it's a different thing.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_15: It's mostly because the time is condensed.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_15: That's the problem that I have.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_15: You know, because I know that I've got to get my point out within a very short period of time, especially with Laura Ingram, because uh she will definitely let you know if you're going long, for she will interject, which is absolutely her right to to go and do.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_15: So um I did grab the uh the audio and the video.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_15: I might share it at the end of uh today's show.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_15: So as I mentioned, once we get our Freedom Friday crew in studio, we will dive into the issue.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_15: And there's more updates.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_15: There was another shooting uh between Minneapolis police and a carjacker.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_15: We don't know the background of the individuals yet.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_15: I have my suspicions.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_15: But until we actually have the information, that remains uh that remains to be to be seen.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_15: So we will dive into that, share that audio with you, and uh we'll get the thoughts from the uh Freedom Friday crew.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_15: And of course we'll hear from you all morning long on the blaster line, as I uh mentioned.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_18: Good morning, John Rich.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_18: So, in regards to the Muslim tri, don't say Somali.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_18: Do you remember the Democrats' greatest threat to democracy under Biden was white Christian nationalism?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_18: That still is why because they're pushing the Muslim religion right now.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_18: That's why.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, you know, I I know Rich, you you you kind of made a you you did something similar yesterday.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_15: I agree with you're right, that happened under Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton has done this similar commentary.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_15: I while there might be a connection, I think they're disconnected.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_15: The left's going after Christianity, that's been going on forever.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_15: It's because Christianity is a powerful religion, the dominant religion, at least for now, on the planet in America, and therefore, because it doesn't necessarily align specifically and exclusively with the left, and typically an individual will look at Christians and kind of associate it with conservatism, even though there are leftists and Democrats out there who do call themselves Christians, but they reframe it for that very reason of Christian nationalism, which just means it's not your progressive your progressive religious belief.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_15: You know, I don't think that those churches that we talked about last week on the show are Christian by any stretch of the imagination.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_15: They are twisting and distorting the scriptures to their own progressive benefit.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_15: Now, this may be taken advantage of by individuals who are pushing religion who are aligned with individuals who are aligned with Muslims.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_15: But I think that ultimately those are two separate issues.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_15: Whereas one might be taken advantage of.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_15: Either way, I do appreciate uh you leaving a uh comment uh this morning.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_15: I mentioned yesterday, I didn't Isaac's not aware of this, but it doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes the blaster line transcript it will transcribe Somali as Tamali instead of Somali.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_15: Which was throwing me off when it first started happening, because I'm like, we I was not talking about tamales on the show.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_15: Tamales.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_15: I didn't I didn't realize or tamali gangbangers.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_15: But I was thinking, you know, if if it turns out that it still is a little bit too uh too much of a hot button to say Somali, maybe we can just replace it with tamali.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, hot tamales.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_15: Tamali gang violence.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_16: I like that.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_15: Doesn't sound nearly as threatening.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_15: Tamali Tamali, Tamale.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_15: We're worried about an influx of individuals, Tamalis who are not assimilating to the United States of.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I don't know.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_15: That just causes confusion.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe that's not a maybe that's not a good idea.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_15: Probably not a good idea to try to workshop that on a Freedom Friday, either live on the air.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_16: So that's what Fridays are for.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, pretty much.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_15: One thing we will be talking about is uh President Donald Trump and the stir that he has caused.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_15: He kind of had the same mentality I did on the drive-in yesterday, if you were listening to the opening of yesterday's show, either on the Mixler app, M-I-X-L-R, which is available for free in your app store.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_15: We put the podcast in the app as well.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_15: Of course, they're posted across all the platforms, whatever podcast platform that you utilize.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_15: You can find the uh John Justice show and you can watch the show on uh YouTube, on my YouTube page, and also Center the American Experiments, Facebook, and YouTube, and we repost those videos across those platforms and rumble uh rumble as well.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_15: But if you were listening yesterday, I was talking about how driving into the show, I was thinking, you know what, we need to go brute force on this Tamali gang violence.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, I gotta not do that because I will start replacing it without even trying.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_15: But I was saying, you know, hey, let's bring back in ice.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_15: Let's do it.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_15: Let's start rooting out the Somali gang violence.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_15: Now, that being said, this is exactly what the leftists want.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_15: Attorney General Thief Ellison, Flanagan, uh Klobuchar, not so much, because I think she's probably going to avoid all the commentary surrounding this right now.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_15: Um But certainly Mary Moriarty would want to see this happen.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_15: President Donald Trump, though, apparently has something similar in mind.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_15: He posted this on True Social yesterday.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_15: The once great state of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali immigrants.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_15: There is violence, murder in mayhem all over the state.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_15: The people of Minnesota must fight back.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_15: That's a bit of a I will say, you know, listen, I just to be completely honest.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_15: That's a bit of an overstatement.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, you know, there is violence, there is murder.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_15: To say it's all over the state is a bit of a there's plenty of places within the rocks and cows when they're not dealing with any of these issues.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_15: You have been robbed and abandoned by your state, your governor.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, by your state government, and your governor is an incompetent thief who does not want to get involved.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_15: Governor Dim Walls, what do you have to say?
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_55: Very good.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_55: Very good.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_55: That's good.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_15: He just wants to get out of town as much as he can steal and then lead a points, everybody!
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_51: You guys are the best.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_15: The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they're doing.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, they view you as weak and stupid people, Trump went on to say.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_15: Fight back, Minnesota.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_15: Fight back.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_15: If you need the federal government, will come to your rescue.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_15: Governor Tim Walls, the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, must immediately ask for federal help and leave the rest to us.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_15: Exclamation point.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_15: Signed President Donald J.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_15: Trump.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_15: So we will uh discuss this further with uh the uh with the group when they arrive.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_15: The uh Minnesota Star Tribune uh this morning has a uh piece very concerned about uh what uh President Donald Trump uh had to say in uh in this post.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_15: Trump makes more inflammatory comments on the Somali community in Minnesota.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_15: The immigrant community has been a frequent target of the president.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_15: Governor Walls pushes back against the comments.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_15: So we'll share with you what Governor Dim Walls had to say a little bit uh later on uh in the in the show.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_15: All right, let's get back to a few of uh your thoughts via the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_43: John, good morning, Patrick.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_43: I think you're on to something with the Tamale game violence.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_43: And I think we've got a song in the making, you need to salt a beat and uh not uh to compliment your yacht rock uh uh super hit.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_43: So think about it.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_43: And uh it could be something.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_43: Great show so far.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_43: Great Freedom Friday.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_43: I like that.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_15: I like that.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_15: Like a follow-up.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_15: It can be like a follow-up to don't dare say there's Somali, but we can do a send up and we replace it with Tamali.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_15: And I like I like the idea of giving it a you know, giving it a I think of like a Mark Anthony vibe for those of a certain age.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_15: I uh Isaac has no idea who I'm doing.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_15: You have no idea who I'm not a close.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_15: Not a not uh not even not even not even close.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_15: Nope.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_15: Nope.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe we can go uh maybe we can go that.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe a little Jennifer Lopez.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, sure.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_15: That's a little bit look a little bit more in your real house, but I like that.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_15: You know, with a little bit of Latin Latin flavor, uh Somali parody.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_15: So thank you for that, Pat.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_15: I uh I very much uh very much appreciate it.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_15: Uh let's see.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_38: Well, it is kind of over the state, at least uh you know, mancade on St.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_38: Peter and the Somalis are killing uh non-adult white kids in residential areas, so yeah, it's uh spreading to the outside.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, no, I listen, I I gotcha.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_15: I just it that is a broad generalization.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_15: It has spread beyond the metro, but to say the entire state and this just aligns with the commentary that I've provided uh several times on the show, and that is the outside perspective of an individual who isn't on the ground here in Minnesota.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_15: Like, for example, the the violence in France, it's horrific, to make no mistake.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_15: But when you watch the coverage, you would think that the entirety of France, like all of Paris is just up in flames, and there's just people just crowded the entire and it's not the case.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_15: Just like it wasn't the case when the uh George Floyd riots were were going on.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_15: You watch TV and you would think all of Minneapolis was on fire, and while there was a significant portion, it was kind of within a concentrated uh area, you know.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_15: It's a double-edged sword in radio.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_15: You generalize a lot for the sake of getting through the material, you know.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_15: But sometimes I think it's important to provide a little bit of context um as it relates to the to the commentary.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_15: So I don't mind that President Trump said what he said.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_15: And I mean I I think it's better this way because it draws more attention to the issue of what we're faced with here in Minnesota, even if he was overly generalizing.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_15: So don't uh don't mistake uh my commentary as being overly critical of the President of the United States.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_15: Uh coming up, I've got a couple of news items that I want to dive into and a question for you in just a moment.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_15: Rumbling volcano forces immediate trail closures at a popular vacation hotspot.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna turn this into a local, a local story on here.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_15: Also, we uh we'll give you an update on the Cornell 7 situation.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, because uh it's not going well for the accuser.

• 31:05
  SPEAKER_48: Yeah, good morning, John.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_48: You're talking about Muslims versus Christian nationalism.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_48: In my mind, if you're a real Christian, you don't have to be labeled as a nationalist because you're going to love the country you're in.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_48: Um secondly, uh you love Christ first, and then your family, and then your country.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_48: So for me, that's actually moral and Christian nationalism, just like it was Jesus to Christian conservatives, because in reality you can't be a Christian liberal because you believe that the liberals vote against the liberals.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_48: If you're a liberal, you're full of version of Israel.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_48: Um the things that liberals believe in full.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_48: Well, you can't be a Christian and be a liberal.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_48: But yeah, they have to give us the label Christian nationalism.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_48: I love my country.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_48: I'm glad I was born here and not Pakistan or somewhere else.

• 32:25
  SPEAKER_54: Speaking of the SMALLI spreading through Minnesota.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_54: I just uh was informed that we have a new female SMALE mail carrier in Onania.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_54: She apparently can't speak English, but we're can we've been told that she can read it.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_54: Okay.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_54: Someone Somali who can't speak English is delivering the mail.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_15: I know make it make it make sense.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_15: Try your best to go and make it make sense.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you all for the comments on a uh Freedom Friday.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_15: Much uh appreciated.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_15: Apparently, uh Max Reimer lost his keys.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_15: Whoops.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_15: So but who has keys anymore?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, for your house, I guess.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, what keys?
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_16: I know.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_16: His car keys?
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I mean I don't I don't have uh he's got a new I think his car is actually newer than Monty is.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_15: I don't know.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe we'll have to ask him about it.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_15: Because that's an important thing to discuss.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_15: I don't have any house keys.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_16: Oh, really?
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_15: I don't I was actually thinking about this the other day.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_15: I do not have any, I do not have any house keys.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_15: Because I usually come into the garage, and typically because Melinda's a stay-at-home mom, she's home.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_15: So I don't ever but if they're if they're gone.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_15: I've been out to luck before because of it, just caused, you know, caused my own caused my own problem.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_15: Uh speaking of problems, renewed volcanic activity at ho at Hawaii's um Kilauea.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_15: Am I saying that right?
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_15: Kilauea?
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_15: Is that right?
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_15: That sounds right, right?
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_15: Sounds right.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_15: Kilauea.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_15: Uh volcano has led to the trail closures and warnings about potential uh hazards.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_15: Over 200 earthquakes were recorded beneath the summit, prompting the U.S.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_15: Geological Survey to issue a volcanic activity notice.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_15: Very exciting.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_15: Visitors were advised to stay away from closed areas and unstable cliff edges due to the risk of gas emissions and volcanic fragments.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_15: Officials, uh, they outlined the um the hazards, uh, including potentially dangerous gas emissions.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_15: Which is interesting because apparently there's dysentery that is spreading um through sexual contact.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_15: It's a story in the uh New York Post today about this.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_15: People are getting their hookie-taw on and they're getting diarrhea.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_15: Whoops.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's you know, so it's another.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_15: Keep it in your pants, fellas.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_15: Holy cow.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, let's see.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_15: The other concerns are oh small glassy volcanic fragments can cause the skin and eye irritation.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_15: That seems bad.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, residents and visitors should minimize exposure to the fragments, which can cause skin and eye irritation.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_15: It reminds me of the uh Seinfeld episode where uh George was dating the woman with the big nose and she was going to get a nose job, and then she got a nose job and it was botched.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_15: So she had to go and get it fixed, and they're sitting in a diner, and she wants to go to Hawaii, but he doesn't want to go to Hawaii with her because they're all awful human beings on Seinfeld.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_15: That's what makes it funny.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_15: And he doesn't want to go to Hawaii with her, and so he starts coming up with all these excuses.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_15: He's like, you know, first he pulls his glasses off so he doesn't have to look at her face anymore, which is awful in and of itself.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_15: He's like, You really don't want to go there.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_15: I hear there's a lot of debris just floating around because of the volcanic activity, just swirling.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_15: A question that I have, oh, would you rather chill next to an active volcano based off the information I just shared with you, or downtown Minneapolis on a Friday night?
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_15: I know.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_15: That is a tough one.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_15: I think I'm gonna go volcano.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_16: Probably.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_15: I'd rather go out because of a volcano than to go out because of any sort of you know violent activity in downtown Minneapolis.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_15: That's just a horrible fate.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_16: Depends on the time of year, I think, for me.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_15: On which one you would want to go to?
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_15: Which one you'd rather hang out with?
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_15: Well, what time of year would you want to hang out downtown on a Friday night?
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_15: In Minneapolis.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_15: That's a good point.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_15: And maybe there's a sporting event, but there's less less likely something is gonna happen if that were if that were the case.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_15: Uh this brings me to this story.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_15: I've been holding on this uh to this for a little a little while.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_15: Uh somebody said that I did say Kilauea correctly.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_15: Wow.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_15: Nicely done.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_15: I'm very happy.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_15: I should just leave.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_15: We're gonna have all our guests coming in.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_15: You can come sit over here, Isaac, and I'll just call it a day.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_15: Cool.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, we'll just we'll go that route.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_15: No, a new study identifies Australia as the safest place on earth in the event of a global catastrophe, such as a nuclear war or volcanic eruption.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_15: Would a volcanic eruption be a global catastrophe?
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, I made it one in my first embark book.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_15: I had Yellowstone and its volcanic activity, I had it go up, and I know that if Yellowstone goes up, we're all in a heap of trouble.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_15: Which is why I did that.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_15: I had to destroy Earth in my book.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_15: Spoiler alert.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_15: Um there's a secondary thing that there's a there's a there's uh an exciting incident that takes place that causes Yellowstone to to erupt.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_15: So that's pretty much the only one.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_15: I don't think there's any other because if Yellowstone went up, I mean, I there's a there I looked at the map, like of the United States where you where we just be you're you're hosed, and then just the the smoke cloud in and of itself would kill would kill life.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_15: Uh the study uh analyzed these uh these global uh catastrophic risks and identified characteristics that make countries more resilient, including a strong industrial base, geographical isolation, and functional governance.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_15: While no country is entirely resilient, the study emphasizes the importance of preparedness and international cooperation in mitigating the impact of such events.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_15: So the team identified three broad types of risks: events that would block out sunlight, nuclear war, or a huge volcano exploding, events that destroy the global infrastructure, such as a geomagnetic storm or a massive cyber attack, uh, biological hazards such as natural or human-caused infectious diseases that would kill much of the population, or having to spend time alone with St.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_15: Paul Mayor Cooley Her.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_15: It's also on the on the list, right?
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_15: Or may or maybe not.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe I might have made that up.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_15: Just just just in the story.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_15: I'm sorry about that.
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_15: Uh the team found that uh the uh wealthier countries and regions with a strong industrial base that are not highly reliant on global trade are better better to handle global disasters.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, you know what?
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_15: I'm more curious, and I should have should have thought of this.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_15: I didn't think about it until right now.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_15: I'm more curious the what is the like what's the worst place?
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_15: Like what's the what's the worst place to be in a global catastrophe?
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_15: I s catastrophe, I suppose it's near wherever the catastrophe is taking place.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_16: Probably.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_16: Like right at the center.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, like but then you'd go quick.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_15: That's true.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_15: That's true.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_15: Although if you're like via volcano, I mean, how quick is that?
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_15: I mean I mean in Terminator, it took him a little while before he melted into the molten one pound of whatever.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_16: There's some people that just, you know, they're like laying in bed and they got it just yeah, just it froze him in time.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, just stuck him right there.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_15: So in that case, like if you're next to Mount Kilauea in Hawaii, then you're just yeah.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_16: I don't know.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_16: Happy Friday.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, happy Friday, everybody.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_37: Hey Josh, this craft and champ on.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_37: Is that what happened here?
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_37: Hey Josh, this graph and camp on.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_37: He'd say you don't have any house keys.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_41: I don't either.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_41: But uh I realize that everybody has a house key.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_41: It's when it's called a hammer.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_41: Think about it.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_15: No, then that's a hammer.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_15: It doesn't suddenly become a key just because you use it to get into the house.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, just ask uh uh D uh you know former DFL, DFL and Senator Nicole Mitchell.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_16: What if it identifies as a key though?
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, that's a different story altogether.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_15: Isaac will be here all morning.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you very much.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_16: Thank you.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, when Nicole Mitchell, you know, used whatever she used to break into her into her stepmother's home.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_15: Remember, just to do a wellness check, because that's what normal people do, you break in through basement windows to do that.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_15: Uh whatever device she used didn't suddenly just become a key.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_15: So sorry, I don't mean to harp on the on the blasted too much.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_15: I did listen.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_15: No, I'm actually not harping on you because you gave me some really quality content, and thank you so much for doing that.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_15: It's very kind of you.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_37: Australia would be the safest place.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_37: That's what the article said.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_37: Yeah.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_37: But they've seen the wildlife that lives there.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_37: It's all trying to kill you.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_15: Well, sure, but just don't go where the wildlife is.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_15: That's not to say, you know, it's the safest place for a global catastrophe, but it doesn't mean that every place in Australia is going to be safe.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_15: Because you're right.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_15: If you're out in the Australian bush, you don't, you know, and a wallaby comes rolling up on you.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_15: Do they have wallabies in Australia?
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_15: Is that a is that an Australian?
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_15: Is that a I think so?
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_16: They have everything.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_15: I know they do, I know they have dingoes.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_15: Right?
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_15: The dingo HL baby.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_15: I know that's a thing.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_15: Kangaroos that box.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_15: The boxing, you know, those are terrifying to me.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_15: The boxing kangaroos, those terrify me.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_15: They can carry around children in their marsupial pouches, and they could box you.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_15: Because you just gotta you gotta figure, like, if a kangaroo is looking to punch you in the face, they gotta be pretty ticked off.
• 41:54
  unknown: Right?
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_15: They must be.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_16: I mean, yeah.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_15: See, this is what happens.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_15: This is what happened when Max Reimer ends up arriving late.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_15: I go off on tangents about dingo's wallabies and punching kangaroos in the Australian Outback.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_15: All right, while he gets settled in, let's go here to more serious matters.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_15: Speaking of catastrophes, this is turning into one for the Cornell 7 accuser.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_15: Jane Doe in newly released detects messages expressed affection and reassurance to one of the men accused, Jonathan Newell.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_15: This was two days after the alleged gang rape.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_15: Doe stated that the sexual activity was not illegal and that she really liked being with Newell and Matthew Ingalls, another accused man.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_15: Despite Doe's later claims of incapacitation and non-conceptual acts, these messages provide context to her account of the of the night.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_15: And you know it's not going well for her because the stor they've kind of the story's kind of faded off into the distance.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_15: It's not getting nearly as much coverage.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_15: And I'm not seeing any of the social media commentary that you typically see regarding stories like this.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_15: And so, and these latest text messages just continue to destroy any level of credibility that this woman had.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_15: And I'll just say what I've said all along.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_15: There are no winners in this story.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_15: Nothing, nothing but losers.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_15: There is a winner, though, sitting on the couch here in the Center of the American Experiment Studio.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_15: His name is Max Reimer.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_15: Good morning, Max.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_15: Hello.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_15: How are we doing this morning?
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_15: I'm great.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_15: So you have a what what keys did you need?
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_15: Your car just your car doesn't need a key.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_15: I know, but I gotta have them with me in order to start the car.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_15: Just in j oh, just in general, because they're attached to your keychain.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_14: That's kind of what I figured.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_14: This Cornell 7 story, this this girl seems like uh piece of work.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_15: I there's a what I want, Max, I want the backstory of who told her to start changing her tune.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_15: Like what was the what was the impetus?
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, it could have been something as simple as you look at the timeline, like The the controversy surrounding, you know, the awful that were defending Lindsay Clancy, but I think this goes back to before that.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_15: So who was the individual that said, you know, I know you keep saying that this was all consensual and you shared all these text messages, but you may not realize it you were raped.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_15: I who who was the person that guided her that way?
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_15: Because that was probably some really bad advice.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_14: Well, for sure.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_14: And what's interesting is I read that one of the one of the guys now is counter suing her because he's saying he was incapacitated.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_14: So it it goes to show you that we're so far past this me too believe all women moment that we had five or six years ago, where the smartest course of action you can do, if you have to comment, if you have to comment on a story like this, let the facts play out.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_15: So two days after the alleged gang rape, the Cornell 7 accuser told one of the men that she now accuses of raping her, that she loved him and another accused man, described the sexual activity, as I mentioned, as not illegal, and also wrote Our Body, Our Choice.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_15: For real.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_15: Our body, our choice.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_15: Two days after the alleged gang rape, she said these things, uh, identified as Jane Doe.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_15: Although her you know, it's funny, these dudes are mentioned now by name.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_15: I don't know if you know, like she's out there.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_15: Like if you go you can find her, you can see, you can, you can see welcome to 2026, man.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_14: There are no Jane Doe's anymore.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_15: No, there really isn't.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_15: I don't know why they're continuing with the Jane Doe thing, but be that as it may.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_15: Um she let's see.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_15: Uh the woman expressed annoyance that Jonathan Newell, that the sorority girls were talking about her promiscuity after the encounter, but reassured Newell that what happened that night was not illegal and they had no reason to feel ashamed.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_15: While some messages have already been released, a fuller exchange provided by TMZ.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_15: I think we all probably could have guessed that it was coming from TMZ.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_15: Holy cow.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_15: Like, did all of the former did all of the um the the tabloid rags that you used to find at the checkout stand, like did they all just combine into one just one single join together and it just it became TMZ?
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_14: Well, I think it feels like I think TMZ call it a decade ago, they started to break real news, right?
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_14: And I I can't I can't like think of any specific stories, but I remember there being a moment where it was like, I thought TMZ was a grocery store magazine rag, and then it was kind of like whoa, TMZ has like broke three or four just gigantic stories, and I think since then that and they also have the Harvey Levin show and stuff like that where they do daily reporting, but it I I think it was like a a decade ago or close to it, John, where it was finally like, yeah, they might they might actually know something.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_15: There was a parody.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_15: Who did the parody of TMZ?
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, oh, oh, it's in uh it's in the uh Andy Sandberg uh um pop star Never Stop.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_15: Never stop never stop it.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_15: I love that comedy.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_15: It's but there's a moment in there where they're talking about Connor for real and they do a send-up on TMZ.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_15: And what's the what's the lead host guy's name again?
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_15: You just mentioned him, Harvey Levin.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_14: I think that's his name.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_15: So he's always holding like a thermos.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_15: So they had Will Arnett play in that character, but he had like a thermos, but he had duct taped like five or six of them in one and had all these straw sticking.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_15: It was so funny.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_15: A lot better to watch it than it is to hear my comments.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_14: I can tell you that.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_15: Really?
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_14: One of my favorite.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_14: I can't remember a single thing.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, that is that is a constant.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_15: That movie, um, so Pop Star, Never Stop, Never Stopping.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_15: Of modern comedies, uh, that one and uh Hot Tub Time Machine.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_15: I just those are those are those are re-watchables right along with like you go back older school, you go like Anchor Man.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_15: But in terms of modern comedies, I love both of those films.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_15: Um back to more serious uh matters.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Newell wrote to the accuser.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_15: I just wanted to apologize for how things went down the other night.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_15: It's just, you know, it's so sad trying to be a stand-up dude in the wake of just committing a horrific act of debauchery.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_15: Uh he added that uh he added that he and Matthew, the other man that Doe has accused of rape, should have shut it down and kicked people out before it got out of hand.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Matthew Ingalls alleges that Doe, as you mentioned, Max, sexually assaulted him and then he was too intoxicated to consent that night.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_15: Doe's own account says Ingalls passed out multiple times during the sexual activity.
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_15: You're an amazing person, and I genuinely hope you're not catching as much heat from this as we are, said Newell.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_15: We've been shutting down any stories, but we've heard, we've heard, but again, I'm so sorry.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_15: To which Jane Doe responded, Aw, Jonathan, I really appreciate this text.
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_15: I think we were all too blanking drunk and high.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_15: I'm getting a little heat from some of my sorority girls who can't get their my name out of their mouth, but that's to be suspected, she went on to say.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_15: But at the end of the day, none of the sexual stuff was illegal, and honestly, I really liked being with you and Matt.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_15: So anyone uh who has anything to say about the I don't even want to repeat the word, or what they did is out of their jurisdiction.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_15: It would have been one thing if there was like one text that sort of refuted the claim, but it's like there is a series of texts that refute all of uh all of this.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_15: Uh one other message she wrote, oh, she says, I don't think you should feel any shame for the part, our body, our choice.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_15: And another message she wrote, uh, if you have uh any regrets or anything you want to talk about, I'm always here to talk about it because um because that was a lot.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_15: I really do love you and Matt, and promise I won't get quiet and weird like I around you like I did the last time.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_15: Doe has also accused seven men of being involved in the alleged assault, which she says occurred while she was incapacitated, being drugged with ketamine.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_15: Additional accounts of the encounter emerged through the investigation.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_15: And earlier this week, two male students accused Jane Doe of separately, uh separately recalling the accuser, get out of bed, and do bodybuilder poses or flex her muscles after the other students had ingested ketamine off her body during the encounter.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, that was crazy.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_16: She just flexed on him.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_15: Watch this cool.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_16: Dude, come on.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_14: This is what are we doing?
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_14: I've said it before, but after every kind of national tragedy or big story that happens, I basically run to X to just see what memes are coming out of it.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_14: And one of the biggest ones was do you remember like, listen, we're all adults here.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_14: The American psycho sex scene where he's like flexing, looking at himself in the mirror, you know, he's more obsessed with himself than the women he's with and are uh he's about to kill.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_14: But they did that with her, yeah.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_14: They like superimposed her face on his body, and it was just like, oh the we we're in the golden age of internet content right now, man.
• 51:14
  SPEAKER_14: It's like every day there's some new meme.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_14: Have you seen this other little this new meme by the way?
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_14: Of the it's a multi-purpose meme where it's this little like Rumpel Stilskin character and he's like dancing with his boots on.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_14: I haven't seen this one.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, you haven't?
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_14: I gotta get up on it.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_14: Let the internet on fire.
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_14: No.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_14: He like, he like tells this girl he like puts his finger on her lips and says to be quiet, and then he like starts like dancing.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, I haven't seen this one.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_14: And then like gold appears everywhere.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_14: Well, the big use for it right now is because it's this little character that looks pretty unsettling.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_14: And I don't know if it's AI or if it's from an actual movie, but people have superimposed Kyler Murray's face, the Vikings quarterback on it because Kyler Murray is like five foot six.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_15: So I screwed up my algorithm yesterday because I watched two different cat videos and I sent one to Melinda and one to Logan.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_15: That jacked up my algorithm, so it started feeding me a bunch of cat videos, which was, you know, kind of good and bad.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, and then the other one that I keep getting uh slammed with is the and I think it's from White Chicks, where they do the making my way downtown walking fast, and they're in the car.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_15: But they keep superimposing it with other characters from movies and stuff like that.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_15: I can't get enough of that.
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_14: Well, I'm glad Isaac knows what I'm talking about because I would have explained that meme and no one knew it, that would have been awkward.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, one more uh piece from this article.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_15: After the fraternity uninvited her from its Halloween party, she accused the men of covering their butts, using uh another term, uh, days later, and she wrote that 90% of what happened was not consensual.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_15: So she got scorned that she wasn't invited to this Halloween party, and then uh ended up making all of these accusations.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_15: And like I said before, there are only losers in this story.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, somebody who is absolutely not a loser, no stranger to the comfy uh chairs and sofas here of the Center of the American Experiment uh studio, very pleased to welcome.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Jill uh Sandiger, who joins us here, uh, works here at Center of the American Experiment.

• 53:23
  SPEAKER_10: I mean Queen of the Universe, obviously.
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_15: But right out of the gate, you know what to expect.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_10: As far as what I do at American Experiment, I am the event coordinator.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_10: I plan a lot of events every year, including a couple of fundraisers and galas, and yeah.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_15: And the event we have coming up on Sunday as well.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_10: Yes, a fun run.

  SPEAKER_10: That's going to be f very fun.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_15: So you have uh you have children that are in college, right?
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_15: Am I correct in that?
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_10: I do.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_15: Stories like this, how do how how do they impact you?
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_15: Like the core you see a story like the Cornell 7 story, you have uh you have kids in college, you know.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_15: What is your reaction to this type of stuff?
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_10: Um initially it makes me sick.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_15: I think it does all of us, right?
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_10: But um my oldest is out of college.
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_10: I think it's actually a dry town.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_10: Like I think they sign a still have those?
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_10: I think there's one left.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_10: But um, and the the town is made up of the college, which has Baptist roots, so it's it's a so you feel I feel safe here.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_10: And she also is a soccer player, she's never gonna risk her scholarships and her and her participation on that team.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_15: So no winners in any of this.
• 54:42
  SPEAKER_10: No, but I have another one going off to college next year, and yeah, she's a good kid.
• 54:47
  SPEAKER_15: Don't don't don't be like this.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_10: No, no.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_15: I don't think you have to worry about it.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_15: It seemed like you're a very good mother.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_15: So thank you for joining us this morning, Noana.
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_10: Thank you for having me.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_15: On a Freedom Friday.
• 54:56
  SPEAKER_15: Let's get to a few of your thoughts from the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
• 55:00
  SPEAKER_30: Good morning, John Victor here.
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_30: Um, so I have looked into the the Cornell 7 story a little bit, and it wasn't that somebody told her to change her story, it was shame that told her to change her story.
• 55:16
  SPEAKER_30: She was teaching and teaching with me for days and typically weeks after the incident happened, reassuring them, telling them that nothing happened, telling that nothing illegal happened.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_30: And then she was disinvited from the Halloween party after the work of what she did, and people were making fun of her for what she did.
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_30: She changed her story, she called numerous multiple of the cases, and then was accusing them of rape on the phone and thinking, why did you do this?
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_30: And she's like, We didn't do this.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_30: You said it was fine.
• 55:59
  SPEAKER_30: I'm not gonna talk to you anymore.
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_30: So I'm glad the one guy is counter suing her.
• 56:05
  SPEAKER_30: I think he should.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_30: I think they should take her for everything she's worth.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_30: The women that do this need to learn their lessons that you can't just go ruining people's lives because you decided to act like a whore and now you're ashamed about it.
• 56:18
  SPEAKER_15: Brutal.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_15: I was I was about to say that I need to make I need to make Victor my my my default TMZ scandal guy, and then he made that comment there right at the end.
• 56:28
  SPEAKER_15: Listen, the dudes here are uh listen, they're just as complicit in all of this as well.
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_15: This was horrible behavior across across across the board.
• 56:38
  SPEAKER_15: Um let's go.
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_15: I got a couple more comments on this, and then I want to move over to the uh Fort Hood shooter um and his execution being live streamed.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_21: Morning, John.
• 56:47
  SPEAKER_21: Wife of former neighbor Mike says been listening to this Cornell 7 for weeks or days or whatever, and um you know what?
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_21: The only place any of these people should have taken this story was to a priest and the confessional.
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_21: No one else needs to know this.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_21: Take it to a priest and be done with.
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_15: I think the problem was there were too many individuals around who saw everything take place, and that's been part of the part of the issue all along.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_31: You know, yeah, you're uh talking here about uh this race thing and these girls with uh mass your I don't hear you saying how disgusting this whole situation is.
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_15: Let me pause it really quick.
• 57:34
  SPEAKER_15: I think I've I thought you did.
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_15: I think I've been pretty clear on that, right?
• 57:37
  SPEAKER_15: It's consensus, right?
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_15: I think I said there were no, I think I said from the get-go there were no winners.
• 57:41
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_15: Everybody was complicit in all in all of this, so I just wanted to get a reading.
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, we can hear more.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_10: Just because you're complicit doesn't mean it's a good thing.
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah.
• 57:51
  SPEAKER_15: I just I just said a moment ago.
• 57:53
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I just said a moment ago, there's no winners in any of this.
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_15: And I said it from the get-go, but let's go here.
• 57:57
  SPEAKER_31: I get you want to defend the boys.
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_31: You think she's a nut.
• 58:02
  SPEAKER_15: I I haven't defended the boys once.
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_15: Not once.
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_14: Hang on, when did this talk back come in?
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_14: Because this seems like he just ignored like literally the last five minutes of what you've what you've been saying.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_15: It came it came in like right in the middle of our conversation.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_14: But I but I promoed this or I was talking about it earlier before you got here.
• 58:18
  SPEAKER_14: Everyone's a loser in this situation.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 58:20
  SPEAKER_14: Just to be super clear.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_14: And by the way, like on either her end or the guy's end, I just am like, dudes, if you're out there and you're in college and you're making poor decisions, do not do not engage in a seven-person orgy.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_14: Like, don't do it.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_14: Good rule of thumb.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_14: It's like a it's a lack of judgment.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_15: You know what?
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_15: For sure.
• 58:45
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you for the uh oh, I didn't let uh producer Isaac know.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_15: We're titling the podcast now.
• 58:50
  SPEAKER_15: So today's podcast, do not engage in a seven-person orgy.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_15: Oh.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_15: So if you don't want to write that, I'm more than happy to.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_15: You know, spicy one.
• 58:57
  SPEAKER_15: People are gonna be wondering what this show is about.
• 58:59
  SPEAKER_15: You know, I just want to see more of what this uh dude's selective hearing hath uh wrought.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_31: But are you actually condoning this kind of behavior?
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_31: No.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_31: I mean, it kind of sounds like you're not really not condoning the behavior.
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_15: It sounds like you're not listening very well.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_14: It's an overall thing, so you're kind of like gang raped.
• 59:17
  SPEAKER_31: Hey, man, she didn't get gang raped, she was consenting to it, so it's all cool.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_15: I I I never I never said that.
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_15: There's this thing, I'm gonna stop here.
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_15: Because what usually will happen now is that I'll have I'll have the listeners leave uh texts and and uh and voice messages where they will go and say, Yeah, John, you never did any of that, so I'm I'm I'm I'm fine with that.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_15: So I just this is what we call selective hearing.
• 59:42
  SPEAKER_15: People hear what they want to hear, and then once they begin to go down that line, that's all that they're capable of actually going and uh and hearing.
• 59:49
  SPEAKER_15: So yes, we we can we can we disavow, we condemn all of it.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_15: All of it, everybody, everybody in agreement?
• 59:56
  SPEAKER_15: Agree, chill you good, definitely disavow that.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_10: That's disgusting behavior, whether it was consensual or not.
• 1:00:02
  SPEAKER_15: We'll get the uh temperature, I guess, of everybody else when they arrive, too, just to make sure.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_14: Everybody currently in the room disavows everybody.
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_14: I'm interested to hear what AK Kamara has to say.
• 1:00:15
  SPEAKER_12: After that seven person orgy comment, I now have this disgusting picture in my head.
• 1:00:22
  SPEAKER_15: You know, I'm just gonna stop right there.
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_15: Um, I you know, I I could I could read the rest of the transcript, and I I I think that we should take this moment.
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_16: Seven in the morning.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_15: And uh let's go ahead and just celebrate that we've reached the seven o'clock hour here on Freedom Friday and make it official.

  SPEAKER_15: It is the John Justice show presented by American Experiment.
• 1:00:59
  SPEAKER_15: Remember, you can listen live at AmericanExperiment.org on the Mixed Lar app where we post the podcast, and of course, across all the major podcast platforms you can watch.

• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_15: In studio today, we have uh Max and uh first timer here, fellow colleague at Center of the American Experiment, uh Jill, who's probably wondering what did I walk into?
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_15: Although you listen to Freedom Friday, you know.
• 1:01:22
  SPEAKER_10: I do.
• 1:01:23
  SPEAKER_10: And a couple weeks ago I was walked into the office and heard just this loud laughter.
• 1:01:28
  SPEAKER_10: It was like I was missing a party.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_10: So I'm really happy to be here because I like to party.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_15: We are well I like to depends on the party, yeah.
• 1:01:36
  SPEAKER_15: That came out wrong.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_15: In light of the last conversation, that was probably not the best choice of words.
• 1:01:40
  SPEAKER_15: We like to party with no ketamine involved in at seven in the morning.
• 1:01:45
  SPEAKER_15: I will never ever, I will never ever have ketamine again.
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_15: What?
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_15: Well, because when I went in for the last open heart surgery, they actually give it to you now as pain management.
• 1:01:58
  SPEAKER_15: Uh-huh.
• 1:01:59
  SPEAKER_15: And uh I had mentioned, and this was my mistake.
• 1:02:02
  SPEAKER_15: I had mentioned that previously, like I'd gone too far on the extension of the hydrocodone with the second surgery, and it was really, really hard for me to come off of that once I once I finished with my pain medication.
• 1:02:14
  SPEAKER_15: Um, like there was like a week that went by where I was just absolutely miserable, and I let them know this.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_15: Well, when I did, they ended up and they ended up trying to make sure that this didn't happen again, even though that wasn't like a huge concern.
• 1:02:27
  SPEAKER_15: I was just yapping because that's what I do, especially when I'm nervous.
• 1:02:30
  SPEAKER_15: So in the surgery, after the surgery, they ended up giving me ketamine, and it was just the worst experience that I'd ever had in my life.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_15: Why?
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_15: The doctor came walking in, his hair was bright blue like a smurf.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_15: There was a blood pressure monitor on the counter that looked like it was walking across the counter.
• 1:02:45
  SPEAKER_15: Every single television show.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_15: We had Modern Family up on the TV, and they all looked like characters out of The Simpsons.
• 1:02:54
  SPEAKER_41: Yeah.
• 1:02:54
  SPEAKER_15: It was not, you might think that's a good time.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_16: It was not a oh, so the doctor didn't actually have blue hair.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_16: No, he got it.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_16: That was going on in your head.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_15: He walked in and I said.
• 1:03:04
  SPEAKER_16: I thought they were just a liberal.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_15: Well, I actually said that to him because I saw him the day before, and he came in and I said, Oh, you changed your hair.
• 1:03:11
  SPEAKER_15: He's like, What?
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_15: I was like, it's blue.
• 1:03:14
  SPEAKER_15: He's like, it is not blue.
• 1:03:14
  SPEAKER_15: I goes, yes, it is.
• 1:03:16
  SPEAKER_15: I'm looking at it right there.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_14: It is absolutely blue.
• 1:03:19
  SPEAKER_14: Now, I've had I've had my fair share of alcohol in my life.
• 1:03:22
  SPEAKER_14: I've not done a whole lot of illicit drugs in my life.
• 1:03:26
  SPEAKER_14: That stuff stuff like that scares me.
• 1:03:29
  SPEAKER_14: Like when you are totally removed from your facilities and control of your own body, control of your own mind.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_14: And I went to a seminar, I don't know, about eight months ago in my district, and it was all about fentanyl.
• 1:03:43
  SPEAKER_14: And uh John, these days, uh if you're if you're getting substances from any skeezy source, it's not like I don't know, John, it's not it's probably not like dirt weed you had like when when you were a kid or like what AK was smoking when he was a kid.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_14: It's like everything could possibly contain this basically atomic bomb that just kills you.
• 1:04:05
  SPEAKER_14: Like fentanyl is in they're mixing fentanyl in everything, including ketamine and including like cocaine, and it's like it's wild.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_14: Like every every good time possibly is accompanied by this like absolutely deadly substance.
• 1:04:22
  SPEAKER_15: You've got you've got a lot of one-liners because that's it.
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_15: Every good time could possibly kill you.
• 1:04:27
  SPEAKER_15: That's what you're saying, right?
• 1:04:28
  SPEAKER_15: That is what I'm saying.
• 1:04:28
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:04:29
  SPEAKER_15: Jill, do you want to chime in on that?
• 1:04:31
  SPEAKER_10: I was recently at a shop for my shopping for a birthday gift, and the owner of the shop was telling me that his only son died because he was in downtown Minneapolis and somebody gave him drugs, and he took and it just it killed him instantly.
• 1:04:44
  SPEAKER_14: And it was probably like laced with Yeah, it was laced with something.
• 1:04:47
  SPEAKER_10: He didn't know.
• 1:04:48
  SPEAKER_10: They they never caught the guy.
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_15: Just horrible.
• 1:04:50
  SPEAKER_15: Horrible.
• 1:04:51
  SPEAKER_15: Well, that's like the Kratom, the Kratom situation across the across the country right now.
• 1:04:55
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, at this point, I know we talked about this and it's regul we've regulated it now.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_14: We passed something last session that basically said retailers can't can't sell it.
• 1:05:05
  SPEAKER_14: Was it an age limit thing or they can't sell it at all?
• 1:05:08
  SPEAKER_14: It might be an age, I can't remember what the exact bill was.
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_14: I think they upped the age limit.
• 1:05:12
  SPEAKER_14: I think it was an up and can you look that up?
• 1:05:13
  SPEAKER_14: John Isaac, that is what it was.
• 1:05:15
  SPEAKER_14: It was from 18 to 21, I believe.
• 1:05:17
  SPEAKER_14: But Isaac, maybe look it up.
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_14: I should know because I think I voted for it.
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_14: But the stories out of Kratom, too, just like people just totally frying their brains.
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_15: It's terrifying, it's absolutely terrifying.
• 1:05:30
  SPEAKER_10: It's horrible.
• 1:05:31
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go, uh let's go here.
• 1:05:33
  SPEAKER_15: This may be terrifying for some people.
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_15: Uh let me know when you when you have that uh over there.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_15: Because I know they're looking to ban it across the country.
• 1:05:38
  SPEAKER_15: And before I was sort of like, well, regulate it, you know, make sure the particular age, but from what I hear now of this Kratom, it's just it's bad news regarding it.
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_16: Kratom purchase age raised to 21 in Minnesota.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_15: I think we should get rid of it.
• 1:05:52
  SPEAKER_15: But that's a story for another time.
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_15: The Pentagon has announced the execution of the Fort Hood shooter, Nadal uh Nadal has said.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_15: On by firing squad will be live streamed on December 3rd, just in time for the holidays.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_15: Did I say I said that out loud, didn't I?
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_15: I said that out loud.
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_15: What a gift.
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:06:13
  SPEAKER_15: Hassan, convicted of killing 13 people in 2009, could potentially delay the execution, they're saying, though, by filing a habeas petition in civilian court.
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_15: We need to get Bill Glaun on this to get his his thoughts.
• 1:06:26
  SPEAKER_15: He writes about this quite often at AmericanExperiment.org.
• 1:06:29
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Pete Hexeth was asked about this by a reporter this week.
• 1:06:32
  SPEAKER_15: Here's what he had to say.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_15: Execution by firing squad.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_11: Uh Army major betrays his country.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_11: Radical Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood.
• 1:06:39
  SPEAKER_11: Of course we're going to do it at Fort Hood.
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_11: Going to do it on a Thursday.
• 1:06:42
  SPEAKER_11: We're going to do it at one o'clock, which is when he did it.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_11: And it's going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.
• 1:06:48
  SPEAKER_11: It hadn't been since World War II since we've done that.
• 1:06:51
  SPEAKER_11: Well, I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was when.
• 1:06:54
  SPEAKER_11: Which was uh understand when the enemy attacks you, you you you stand your ground.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_11: So it was radical Islamist terror attack.
• 1:07:01
  SPEAKER_11: Remember what it remember what Obama called it?
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_11: Workplace violence?
• 1:07:04
  SPEAKER_11: I mean that's what we're up against.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_11: That's the world view we're up against.
• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_11: It's workplace violence.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_11: That's D V E.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_11: We know we know what it is.
• 1:07:10
  SPEAKER_11: It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be.
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_11: And we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, uh, because people need to understand that this is uh there's serious consequences for these types of things.
• 1:07:25
  SPEAKER_13: Do you has Major Hassan made any uh final request, reach out to the president, anything like that to your knowledge?
• 1:07:31
  SPEAKER_13: Don't care.
• 1:07:32
  SPEAKER_13: We'll see him on the December 3rd.
• 1:07:34
  SPEAKER_13: December 3rd, Ford Hood.
• 1:07:36
  SPEAKER_13: Ladies and gentlemen, Secretary of War, Pete Heggs out.
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_13: Thank you very much.
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_13: Thanks for coming with us.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_13: Appreciate it, man.
• 1:07:40
  SPEAKER_15: The way that the reporter sort of wrapped the whole thing up, it's like he almost did a promotion.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_15: So don't miss out, everybody.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_15: December 3rd.
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_15: Watch us take this guy down.
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_15: Um I have my thoughts, so let's go around the room.
• 1:07:52
  SPEAKER_15: Uh uh Jill, uh thumbs up or thumbs down to uh live uh firing uh firing squad uh execution of the Fort Hood uh shooter.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_10: Well it kind of brings me back to the olden days when they'd do public hangings and it put the fear of the Lord in people, that's for sure.
• 1:08:08
  SPEAKER_15: Would you would you watch?
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_10: I'd be very tempted.
• 1:08:11
  SPEAKER_10: It's like a train wreck.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_10: You just can't you take your eyes off of it once you start.
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_10: So I'm not sure.
• 1:08:16
  SPEAKER_14: Max Reimer?
• 1:08:18
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, so I have diverging thoughts here.
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_14: I This is me sitting here with my shocked face.
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_14: I am for public executions with stuff like this.
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_14: I I think that the point is well made that this was just such a heinous thing that you want to deter other people from doing it.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_14: That's what public executions are meant to do.
• 1:08:39
  SPEAKER_14: Will I watch?
• 1:08:40
  SPEAKER_14: No, no.
• 1:08:42
  SPEAKER_14: I don't need to fill my head with uh that content.
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_14: But I don't know.
• 1:08:48
  SPEAKER_14: I'm wondering if this is this will stream on Rumble or YouTube or what are we doing here?
• 1:08:53
  SPEAKER_14: Did they say I thought that I saw Yeah, let's take care of the national debt and put it on pay per view.
• 1:09:01
  SPEAKER_14: I was gonna say the exact same thing.
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_15: You snatched it right from my mouth.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Isaac, uh your thoughts.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_16: Thumbs up on the execution, thumbs down on the live streaming.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_15: Hey, Isaac and I are the same.
• 1:09:12
  SPEAKER_16: We are the same.
• 1:09:13
  SPEAKER_16: I was just gonna say that.
• 1:09:14
  SPEAKER_15: So, so you don't think so?
• 1:09:15
  SPEAKER_15: You're not gonna watch or you don't think it should be live streamed?
• 1:09:17
  SPEAKER_16: I don't think it should be live streamed, and I'm not gonna watch it.
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_16: I don't enjoy watching people dying.
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_16: Okay.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, me neither.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_10: It's not fiction.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_10: Like, it's not a fiction action movie.
• 1:09:25
  SPEAKER_16: No, it's not like a movie.
• 1:09:26
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
• 1:09:26
  SPEAKER_10: That's a good thing.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_15: And I think that's what people get mixed up on.
• 1:09:28
  SPEAKER_15: That's why I'm gonna watch.
• 1:09:30
  SPEAKER_15: Because it's not John's.
• 1:09:32
  SPEAKER_15: John's gonna get his popcorn.
• 1:09:33
  SPEAKER_15: Listen, um, listen, the terrorists.
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_15: The terrorists, I might.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_15: Actually, they'll probably watch all the time.
• 1:09:38
  SPEAKER_15: Well, yours are yours are adults.
• 1:09:39
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_15: That's true.
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_15: Well, let's use let's have my toddlers.
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_15: Let's use that, use that term adult loosely, depending on who we're just kidding.
• 1:09:47
  SPEAKER_15: They both are.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_15: Oh man, if Kyle's listening, he's gonna be so mad at me.
• 1:09:50
  SPEAKER_15: Um, no, so listen, the terrorists, they uh have many times gone and killed, you know, individuals uh that they have uh captured um and they've live streamed it, they've put it online.
• 1:10:03
  SPEAKER_15: I agree with Pete Heggseth's um assessment here.
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_15: And if you'd like to chime in on this as we move through the stories of the day, 651-964-0294.
• 1:10:11
  SPEAKER_15: And remember, on and off topic comments all morning, all morning long.
• 1:10:14
  SPEAKER_15: So I agree with Pete Hegseth um that this is uh something that can continue to reinforce the idea that there are consequences for your for your actions.
• 1:10:24
  SPEAKER_15: Um listen, I'll watch for one reason and one reason only and call it morbid curiosity.
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_15: Um, but I I want to see this happen, and I also kind of want to see what it looks like when somebody is actually shot.
• 1:10:35
  SPEAKER_15: I don't mean to be weird, but you do see it depicted in movies all the time, and I don't think that's absolutely or that's accurately what what happens.
• 1:10:43
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe it'll ruin every film afterwards for me.
• 1:10:45
  SPEAKER_15: So we'll see.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_15: We'll see.
• 1:10:47
  SPEAKER_15: When the day actually arrives, I'll I'll make a I'll make a judgment call then.
• 1:10:50
  SPEAKER_15: But that was my first instinctive reaction was no, I'd like to see this because I'd like to see legitimately how somebody ends up dying after being after being shot.
• 1:10:57
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 1:10:57
  SPEAKER_10: Do you think it's gonna be all over social media too?
• 1:10:59
  SPEAKER_10: Or are they?
• 1:11:00
  SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:01
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, can you avoid watching it?
• 1:11:03
  SPEAKER_14: I am no, yeah, I I think it's it's very similar to uh and this is two totally different situations, but when the Charlie Kirk second assassination happened, you couldn't you couldn't escape it.
• 1:11:14
  SPEAKER_14: It was everywhere and doesn't matter about terms of service or whatever social media platforms say they abide by you couldn't escape it.
• 1:11:22
  SPEAKER_14: You this you will not be able to escape either.
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_14: So will I intentionally watch the live stream?
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_14: No.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_14: Do I think public executions are probably important to deter criminals?
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_14: I I do.
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_14: I I think that that's that's important.
• 1:11:38
  SPEAKER_14: I I think as well with the situation in Tennessee with the botched uh drugs that they tried to give this woman where she's is was it Tennessee?
• 1:11:46
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:48
  SPEAKER_14: So with that situation, I also think that firing squads should probably be the way that we do that in America, just because the success rate, I'm guessing, is a pretty good.
• 1:12:01
  SPEAKER_15: Apparently, they said that um the the woman in Tennessee with the botched uh execution, um the court has come out and said that they are authorized to go and do the execution, try to do the execute.
• 1:12:17
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, is that right?
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, because I had heard that they're like postponing it for the rest of the year or something like that.
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, that I don't I the last thing that I had seen was that they had said that they can move forward.
• 1:12:26
  SPEAKER_15: But maybe, maybe the maybe it'll be you know, hey, maybe it'll be a double feature.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_16: I was just gonna say, someone said she should be the undercard for the the Barbenheimer of executions.
• 1:12:34
  SPEAKER_14: Oh my gosh.
• 1:12:36
  SPEAKER_14: Holy cow.
• 1:12:38
  SPEAKER_15: Yikes is getting dark.
• 1:12:39
  SPEAKER_15: Let's get to uh some of your thoughts from the blaster line 651-964-0294.
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_47: Hey John, Max, everybody, Jerry Rosemal.
• 1:12:47
  SPEAKER_47: You know, as a combat veteran, this execution is not something that you're gonna want to see.
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_47: As I've been witness to several people dying several different ways, you never forget it.
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_47: You don't want this memory in your head.
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_47: Trust me.
• 1:13:08
  SPEAKER_47: You don't want it.
• 1:13:09
  SPEAKER_14: I appreciate that.
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, well, you know, sage advice.
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you for your service.
• 1:13:13
  SPEAKER_14: I would love to hear, like if he could leave another if he could leave another blast.
• 1:13:17
  SPEAKER_14: I would love to hear though, does he, as a combat veteran, does he support it?
• 1:13:23
  SPEAKER_14: Even if we're not gonna watch it, does he feel like this is the right course of action?
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_14: I'd love to hear his perspective on that.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_14: Got a couple of comments that rolled in.
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_15: One just says, you're not forced to watch.
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_15: No, but I think Jill and Max, you both had really good points, and that is this is gonna be all over social media, so it's gonna be one of those things where it might even be hard to uh to to uh to miss.
• 1:13:44
  SPEAKER_15: Uh we have uh another guest in the studio, Catherine Johnson has joined us sitting in the comfy chair.
• 1:13:50
  SPEAKER_15: Good morning, Catherine.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_06: Good morning.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_15: How are we doing this morning?
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_06: Good.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_06: A little sleepy, but the yeah, thinking about watching the execution of a terrorist gets me a little hyped.
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_06: I will watch, I will celebrate.
• 1:14:00
  SPEAKER_06: I think we should blow up our enemies on a global scale.
• 1:14:03
  SPEAKER_06: Absolutely, this is an evil person.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_06: And we, as America, as a country that's going to be supporting uh the good in the world, absolutely destroy evil.
• 1:14:13
  SPEAKER_14: I uh I don't know.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_14: Uh that that one did not shock me at all.
• 1:14:16
  SPEAKER_14: I knew that I knew Catherine was coming in with both pistols on this one.
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_15: So um, were any of you listening at the very start of the show this morning?
• 1:14:24
  SPEAKER_15: I guess most specifically, Catherine, were you listening at the very start of the show this morning?
• 1:14:27
  SPEAKER_06: Uh not the very start.
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_06: I was more of uh 630.
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, all right, okay.
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_15: Well, uh just I guess I'll go to Isaac.
• 1:14:33
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Isaac, remember what I said at the start of the start of the show?
• 1:14:35
  SPEAKER_15: We're missing out on a golden opportunity over here.
• 1:14:37
  SPEAKER_15: I think she just proved my point.
• 1:14:39
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:14:39
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:14:40
  SPEAKER_15: I would just I would just say we so much appreciate your your wild card commentary.
• 1:14:44
  SPEAKER_15: And I felt that, you know, perhaps you will continue to be an untapped resource when it comes to that, because you just never know what angle you're gonna you're gonna take.
• 1:14:53
  SPEAKER_15: Well, thanks.
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and I mentioned too that Jill might give you a run for your money this morning.
• 1:14:57
  SPEAKER_15: So we'll have to we'll have to see.
• 1:14:59
  SPEAKER_15: So not to not to collectively throw the women under the bus here on the show.
• 1:15:03
  SPEAKER_15: But all right.
• 1:15:04
  SPEAKER_15: So coming up in just a moment, uh, we're gonna turn our attention to some of the stories uh that have been dominating the headlines.
• 1:15:09
  SPEAKER_15: Uh there was another shooting last night.
• 1:15:10
  SPEAKER_15: Minneapolis police officer fires at a teenage uh armed carjacking suspect.
• 1:15:15
  SPEAKER_15: We do not know the background of the individual uh yet.
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_15: I bet we can guess.
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I have my assumptions.
• 1:15:23
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 1:15:23
  SPEAKER_15: But you know what happens when they say you assume.
• 1:15:25
  SPEAKER_15: Often you're right.
• 1:15:26
  SPEAKER_15: That's so there you go.
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_15: Also, I want to revisit this audio.
• 1:15:30
  SPEAKER_15: We'll do this next from Keith Ellison talking on a podcast about how people should respond if he ends up losing the election.
• 1:15:36
  SPEAKER_15: So we'll get to this in just a moment.
• 1:15:37
  SPEAKER_15: We'll get back to more of your thoughts uh from the blaster line.
• 1:15:41
  SPEAKER_15: Voice or text messages, 651-964-0294.
• 1:15:45
  SPEAKER_15: Right now, I want to remind you that if you need to get uh service for your home, do what Catherine Johnson did and call Ericsson Plumbing, heating, air, and uh electrical.
• 1:15:53
  SPEAKER_15: They took care of uh did you get a whole home mechanical analysis with that, or were you just dealing with one particular issue?
• 1:15:58
  SPEAKER_06: No, I had just like a few little house things.
• 1:16:01
  SPEAKER_06: I needed someone to change the lights on the outside of my house because they were like really gross and old.
• 1:16:05
  SPEAKER_15: Aren't you married?
• 1:16:07
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, listen.
• 1:16:08
  SPEAKER_06: No, this was electrical.
• 1:16:09
  SPEAKER_06: Like these you got wires involved.
• 1:16:12
  SPEAKER_06: You know, you're like connecting little things.
• 1:16:14
  SPEAKER_15: I'm the last person to talk about home improvement or fixing problems.
• 1:16:17
  SPEAKER_15: I'll come fix it next time.
• 1:16:18
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, yes, now Jill's son has had to come over to my house and mow my lawn because we don't even own a lawnmower.
• 1:16:24
  SPEAKER_06: We hire like a neighbor kid, but when he goes to college, things go awry.
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_06: So we don't do a lot.
• 1:16:29
  SPEAKER_06: The household stuff is hard for us.
• 1:16:31
  SPEAKER_06: Anyway, Erickson showed up and they did it so quickly within, I mean, it was less than a week.
• 1:16:35
  SPEAKER_06: I have all new lights on the front of my house.
• 1:16:37
  SPEAKER_06: It was wonderful.
• 1:16:38
  SPEAKER_15: Ericsson plumbing heating, air, and electrical, their website is iHeartecson.com or call them today and tell them that John Justice or Catherine Johnson sent you 763-783-4545.
• 1:16:49
  SPEAKER_15: I need to not include you in these.
• 1:16:50
  SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna have to give you a cut at this point in time.
• 1:16:52
  SPEAKER_15: 763-7834545.
• 1:16:55
  SPEAKER_20: Hey, John, as a former as an Army veteran, um, I hundred percent support the execution.
• 1:17:02
  SPEAKER_20: I'm right there with Catherine.
• 1:17:04
  SPEAKER_20: Um let's do it.
• 1:17:06
  SPEAKER_20: Do it, do it, do it, do it.
• 1:17:08
  SPEAKER_20: Thanks.
• 1:17:10
  SPEAKER_15: Quite very excited this year.
• 1:17:14
  SPEAKER_35: Uh yeah, for the execution.
• 1:17:20
  SPEAKER_35: If people want to watch it, they can whatever.
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_35: I'm not gonna watch it because I still can't get a picture of Charlie Kirk getting shot out of my head.
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_35: Yeah, unfortunately.
• 1:17:31
  SPEAKER_35: I watched that.
• 1:17:32
  SPEAKER_35: Yeah, and just don't want to have many more messed up stuff like that.
• 1:17:37
  SPEAKER_06: I actually was thinking about that, and I think that this is a good um, maybe a palette cleanser to the Charlie Kirk thing, because I just think there's such a difference, and you have to keep that in mind when you think about these two things.
• 1:17:47
  SPEAKER_06: Like, really, our culture struggles with identifying evil right now, and good and evil, and it's not always as difficult as people on the left, people in culture want to make it out to be.
• 1:17:58
  SPEAKER_06: Um, this is someone who has done a beyond evil act against his fellow humans, and so watching him be destroyed for doing that is much different than watching an evil person destroy an innocent human being.
• 1:18:12
  SPEAKER_06: And so I think that I totally get what he's saying.
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_06: But I had that same thought of like, well, no, actually, I think this is a good thing to publicize in light of the fact that we have these other events now that are televised, that are live streamed, and they are uh acts of extreme evil.
• 1:18:27
  SPEAKER_06: Well, uh, this is going to be an act of good.
• 1:18:29
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and to bring it to local matters and something that I mentioned yesterday when I was breaking down the background of this wannabe by ISIS loser who was, you know, uh an American citizen, you know, born here, naturalized, um, but called his home Somalia, that wanted to launch this attack on the Mall of America.
• 1:18:48
  SPEAKER_15: One of the events that inspired him was the nightclub shooting in Orlando.
• 1:18:54
  SPEAKER_15: And so this to me is another example of that.
• 1:18:58
  SPEAKER_15: Having this, just to kind of put a period on this, and I want to move on to some other items, but having this execution live streamed, if you even if you don't watch it or you do watch it, it's garnering headlines, it's again exposing everything that Nadal Hassan did in the people that he murdered.
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_15: And so, to your point to kind of dovetail Catherine off of what you were saying, um, this is, regardless of how you feel about it, bringing attention to what had taken place.
• 1:19:22
  SPEAKER_15: And so that's a that in in in my mind is a good thing.
• 1:19:25
  SPEAKER_15: Because this is what happens when you do forget.
• 1:19:27
  SPEAKER_15: You know, we have the never forget regarding 9-11, and here you have an individual 18 years old, and he was inspired by the uh pulse.
• 1:19:33
  SPEAKER_15: That's what it was, the pulse nightclub uh shooting.
• 1:19:36
  SPEAKER_15: So, all right.
• 1:19:37
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, a couple more items of uh business items of note.
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_15: Remember, if you need to get a good night's sleep, I certainly did last night.
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_15: The mini leaf uh night gummies are the game changer for me.
• 1:19:45
  SPEAKER_15: The triple diamond pain cream as well.
• 1:19:47
  SPEAKER_15: As a matter of fact, I used that yesterday.
• 1:19:48
  SPEAKER_15: I was suffering from a bit of a headache and put it right here on my temple, knocked it right out.
• 1:19:53
  SPEAKER_15: That's right.

• 1:23:28

  SPEAKER_15: We of course have uh Max and as I mentioned, A.K.
• 1:23:36
  SPEAKER_15: Kamara.
• 1:23:37
  SPEAKER_15: What's up, dude?
• 1:23:38
  SPEAKER_08: Good morning.
• 1:23:39
  SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna guess pro public execution of Nadal Hassan.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_15: That's my guess.
• 1:23:45
  SPEAKER_08: You would guess wrong.
• 1:23:46
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, goodness gracious, please.
• 1:23:48
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:23:49
  SPEAKER_08: Listen, man.
• 1:23:49
  SPEAKER_15: Um I apologize for making an assumption.
• 1:23:51
  SPEAKER_08: I often tell people, you know, uh I am pro-life uh across the board, and that's because I believe that the life that we are given by God is uh precious, regardless of the things that we do.
• 1:24:03
  SPEAKER_08: However, I do believe that in cases where you are defending or protecting your life or the life of others in action, combat, things like that, that there is justified use of force where it results in someone's death.
• 1:24:15
  SPEAKER_08: However, I believe that after someone has been arrested, charged, adjudicated, um, that their life at that point should not be forfeit because uh a court says that they should be.
• 1:24:28
  SPEAKER_08: I'm of the belief that our prison systems are like way too lax.
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_08: I would like to see like basically those that have committed heinous crimes have to like essentially live in a pit.
• 1:24:39
  SPEAKER_08: Um I'm in favor of like having prison island where they have to fend for themselves, and you make it that there's like you know, 50-foot walls and sharks and lasers.
• 1:24:49
  SPEAKER_15: Um, sounds like a new Netflix game show.
• 1:24:52
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, does this think television?
• 1:24:53
  SPEAKER_15: I hope so.
• 1:24:54
  SPEAKER_08: And and listen, I I think it's because again, my position is that life is precious and it has value.
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_08: And I even go back to the Bible and I look at things that Christ said, you know, specifically there's doctrine within most of the mainline denominations that are against the death penalty, and that's kind of where I fall.
• 1:25:11
  SPEAKER_08: I do think that there is this tendency for us to want to seek justice, and I am actually more along the lines of the blaster that said you don't want to see uh a human life ended, and I think that it actually will dull you to a bit.
• 1:25:25
  SPEAKER_08: Now, when I was a kid, I remember that there was a VHS video series called Faces of Death.
• 1:25:32
  SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah, and you could go and watch people die and be, you know, and dead in horrifying ways, and um, I think that desensitizes people to the sanctity of life, and that's just my position.
• 1:25:43
  SPEAKER_06: But it does desensitize people to the sanctity of life when they get to do these terroristic acts and kill all these people on livestream and then face fewer consequences, right?
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_06: Don't you think?
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_06: Like that's what I think about watching Charlie Kirk and this gets blasted out everywhere now, but we never see the other side of it, and so that's why I would be more for it.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_06: And from a biblical perspective, I think too, pursuing earthly justice is something we are called to do.
• 1:26:09
  SPEAKER_06: So I totally get where you're coming from, AK, but I think that you could be on either side of this from a biblical perspective as well.
• 1:26:15
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and I mean I like to explain to people that in the way that I am very vocal about the abolition of abortion.
• 1:26:24
  SPEAKER_08: I think that it is wrong and I think that it is morally unjustifiable, and it's something that I will continually stand on.
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_08: I'm not going out there and like, you know, going to, you know, basically uh anyone that's been sentenced to death and saying, like, oh no, we we have to abolish this.
• 1:26:39
  SPEAKER_08: Uh I'll lastly just break on this piece is that I believe as a Christian, I am called to help create more Christians, the Great Commission.
• 1:26:48
  SPEAKER_08: And so, because of that, um, I'm not really concerned so much about the the earthly aspect of this.
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_08: I know that at the end of the day, our our judge is going to be Christ, and I believe that the things that we do are to that end.
• 1:27:02
  SPEAKER_08: And so at that perspective, it's like live your life, live your life to the the you know, codes, morals, and values that you believe you're called to, and at the end of it, Christ was going to be the ultimate judge, and that's just kind of what I'm doing.
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_08: But I'm not going out there saying if you believe in capital punishment, that makes you a bad Christian.
• 1:27:19
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
• 1:27:20
  SPEAKER_08: Um, because there's the other side of the church as well, talking about when Christ was having this conversation, um, what should you actually do?
• 1:27:28
  SPEAKER_08: And the church is kind of split.
• 1:27:29
  SPEAKER_15: So I'm still stuck on Prison Island.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_15: I want to see that game show.
• 1:27:33
  SPEAKER_15: Well, I did.
• 1:27:34
  SPEAKER_15: By the way, uh, Faces of Death, uh, one, not real.
• 1:27:37
  SPEAKER_15: What do you mean?
• 1:27:38
  SPEAKER_15: Well, you can watch it on Tubi.
• 1:27:40
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, okay.
• 1:27:40
  SPEAKER_15: Um, those those were there was footage in that because I remember growing up as a kid.
• 1:27:45
  SPEAKER_15: It was kind of like the original Bru Blair Witch.
• 1:27:47
  SPEAKER_08: There was a lot of them were all the VHS tapes were fake?
• 1:27:50
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:27:51
  unknown: Really?
• 1:27:52
  SPEAKER_15: So there was footage in it of some actual footage of like tribes in third world countries doing horrible things.
• 1:27:59
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:27:59
  SPEAKER_15: But the The rest of it was all pretty much made up.
• 1:28:01
  SPEAKER_15: And as I mentioned, you can go on Tubi right now and you can see, you can watch.
• 1:28:05
  SPEAKER_15: Really?
• 1:28:05
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, because we were going through Tubi and marking all the Halloween films that we wanted to watch for the for for October, and those all popped up.
• 1:28:11
  SPEAKER_15: And I was like, oh hey, look, there's all the faces of death videos.
• 1:28:14
  SPEAKER_15: It used to scare us, uh, scare us when we were kids.
• 1:28:16
  SPEAKER_15: Now we were kids, it didn't matter.
• 1:28:17
  SPEAKER_15: We all thought it was real.
• 1:28:18
  SPEAKER_08: You had to be, it was NC17.
• 1:28:21
  SPEAKER_15: I know.
• 1:28:21
  SPEAKER_15: Because it was really graphic back in the day.
• 1:28:23
  SPEAKER_08: Okay.
• 1:28:23
  SPEAKER_15: But that wasn't but it was all fake.
• 1:28:25
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it was all fake.
• 1:28:26
  SPEAKER_15: Huh?
• 1:28:26
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:28:26
  SPEAKER_08: Well, I I still think so.
• 1:28:29
  SPEAKER_15: They would have been essentially snuff films.
• 1:28:30
  SPEAKER_15: They would have been back in back in the day.
• 1:28:33
  SPEAKER_08: What I will say is that the the one that we rented that we weren't supposed to because my buddy's brother got it for us.
• 1:28:39
  SPEAKER_08: Um, no one was actually like you didn't actually see them kill anyone.
• 1:28:43
  SPEAKER_08: It was like coming across dead bodies, and the one that was truly horrifying to me, I'm not going to describe it, but it was a guy that got caught in elevator shaft and his body was you know strewn out uh and entrails everywhere.
• 1:28:54
  SPEAKER_15: So can we just let me back up further display?
• 1:28:57
  SPEAKER_15: Are people are people lost on the faces of death?
• 1:29:00
  SPEAKER_15: I assume.
• 1:29:00
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 1:29:01
  SPEAKER_15: No, okay, so Jill.
• 1:29:02
  SPEAKER_15: So Jill of Jill knows.
• 1:29:04
  SPEAKER_10: Okay, so I didn't watch it because I'm not a horror film watcher.
• 1:29:08
  SPEAKER_15: No, I didn't either when I was a kid.
• 1:29:09
  SPEAKER_15: I was terrified to watch it.
• 1:29:10
  SPEAKER_15: I saw snippets just at Friends House and stuff like that.
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_15: So this was so Faces of Death was essentially billed as a compilation of murder of death.
• 1:29:20
  SPEAKER_15: Of death.
• 1:29:20
  SPEAKER_15: Of people dying in various ways.
• 1:29:23
  SPEAKER_15: So if you remember the Blair, you guys remember Blair Witch?
• 1:29:25
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:29:25
  SPEAKER_15: The Blair Witch Project.
• 1:29:26
  SPEAKER_15: You guys are familiar with that?
• 1:29:27
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 1:29:27
  SPEAKER_15: So when that came out, that was being billed as that these events actually happened.
• 1:29:33
  SPEAKER_15: And it was the it was one of the first found footage.
• 1:29:35
  SPEAKER_15: And as a matter of fact, I remember when it came out, there was a lot of questions about whether or not the Blair Witch project was actually really found footage.
• 1:29:42
  SPEAKER_15: It was that was the whole marketing marketing shtick.
• 1:29:45
  SPEAKER_15: And this actually, you go back even further, not to wipe out completely, but you go back even further.
• 1:29:49
  SPEAKER_15: And the first film that really did this was Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• 1:29:53
  SPEAKER_15: Because it opened with a statement of what you're about to see is a true event of teenagers who come across, you know, a home and end up going through a horrific nightmare.
• 1:30:01
  SPEAKER_15: And that was all just the shtick.
• 1:30:03
  SPEAKER_15: Faces of death was basically a riff off of that.
• 1:30:05
  SPEAKER_15: And it was one of those things where if you were the you were the cool kid on the block, if you had the faces of death video tape, because you couldn't get it anywhere else, and it was illegal and you couldn't have it, and you can go and watch it for free now on to be.
• 1:30:17
  SPEAKER_15: So there you go.
• 1:30:18
  SPEAKER_15: And it was a tape, and it was a tape.
• 1:30:20
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:30:20
  SPEAKER_15: There was like grainy footage.
• 1:30:21
  SPEAKER_08: I think like seven or eight tapes.
• 1:30:23
  SPEAKER_08: There's like Faces of Death, one, two, whatever.
• 1:30:25
  SPEAKER_15: Yep.
• 1:30:25
  SPEAKER_15: Yep.
• 1:30:25
  SPEAKER_08: And they're all available on there.
• 1:30:26
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_15: Do you guys do Halloween movies for Halloween?
• 1:30:29
  SPEAKER_15: Do you guys do you know?
• 1:30:29
  SPEAKER_15: You guys know.
• 1:30:30
  SPEAKER_15: No, no, no?
• 1:30:31
  SPEAKER_08: Nah, my wife loves horror films.
• 1:30:34
  SPEAKER_08: And also, real quick, shout out, it's her birthday today.
• 1:30:36
  SPEAKER_08: So happy birthday to Schmoopy today.
• 1:30:39
  SPEAKER_08: But she loves the horror genre.
• 1:30:41
  SPEAKER_08: Um, I'm not really a fan.
• 1:30:42
  SPEAKER_08: I'm like, it's kind of lame.
• 1:30:44
  SPEAKER_15: We're working through all the uh all the 80s, uh, 80s horror movies.
• 1:30:47
  SPEAKER_15: So that was the that was the plan for this year.
• 1:30:48
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 1:30:49
  SPEAKER_15: Are faces of fear and faces of death the same thing?
• 1:30:52
  SPEAKER_40: Yes.
• 1:30:53
  SPEAKER_40: Are you sure they were faces?
• 1:30:54
  SPEAKER_40: I remember watching those when I was a kid.
• 1:30:56
  SPEAKER_40: And there's lots of public execution type stuff.
• 1:30:59
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it was gross.
• 1:31:00
  SPEAKER_15: So feel free to provide further clarity.
• 1:31:01
  SPEAKER_15: This is my understanding, but I figured that if they're all available on Tubi, then let's move over to something also.
• 1:31:09
  SPEAKER_15: Let's move over to something also terrifying.
• 1:31:11
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, this was uh Attorney General Thief Ellison on a podcaster earlier this week, and I'm dying to get uh the comments of the Freedom Friday group this morning.
• 1:31:21
  SPEAKER_51: Cheat like Democrats.
• 1:31:22
  SPEAKER_51: Well, Democrats aren't cheating, so you're just saying just cheat, right?
• 1:31:26
  SPEAKER_51: Right, and so that is who we're dealing with, right?
• 1:31:30
  SPEAKER_51: This is who we're dealing with, and I just say the Democrats and any fair-minded person, Republican, Democrat, independent, green party, I don't care.
• 1:31:40
  SPEAKER_51: Take them at their word.
• 1:31:42
  SPEAKER_51: Don't act like, oh, they're they couldn't mean that.
• 1:31:45
  SPEAKER_51: They mean it.
• 1:31:45
  SPEAKER_51: They mean it.
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_51: They mean it.
• 1:31:47
  SPEAKER_51: And so be ready to get your dudes up, be re and be prepared to defend.
• 1:31:52
  SPEAKER_15: By the way, what he's talking about, he's saying that he expects Republicans to cheat.
• 1:31:56
  SPEAKER_15: That's what he's saying.
• 1:31:57
  SPEAKER_15: He's doing he's doing the line that you typically see conservatives do, Republicans do, when it comes to concerns over cheating, right?
• 1:32:05
  SPEAKER_15: And Ellison is the one who stood up in front of a crowd the it was just like what a month ago, talking about those that are illegal to vote and they're gonna find the people that aren't supposed to be allowed to vote, but here's more of what he had to do.
• 1:32:18
  SPEAKER_53: If they were to really do what he did in 2020, and somehow was able to not have Democrats sat in Congress and you're going through the courts.
• 1:32:26
  SPEAKER_53: Do you think it's on us and the people that we have to go to the streets, that we have to do protests in big ways that we haven't seen before?
• 1:32:33
  SPEAKER_51: Yes, I'm a I'm one who believes in uh peaceful protest, uh First Amendment, but if they try to uh take our vote away, we we should absolutely be in the street, and I'll be right out there with everybody else.
• 1:32:46
  SPEAKER_51: That's what's up.
• 1:32:47
  SPEAKER_51: So, yeah, people should be ready to protest, take to the streets.
• 1:32:52
  SPEAKER_15: So if uh my takeaway on that is that he's basically saying if he loses this election, that people should take to the streets and uh and uh and protest.
• 1:33:00
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Jill, you wanna you want to start on the commentary?
• 1:33:03
  SPEAKER_10: It sounds like he's promoting January 6th.
• 1:33:06
  SPEAKER_10: Like isn't this exactly what also sounds a little bit like a turkey.
• 1:33:13
  SPEAKER_08: I I think that um I agree that he's he's clearly being 100% hypocritical uh in calling into question.
• 1:33:22
  SPEAKER_08: Uh the additional step that I would take, and this is when you go back to the the speech that he gave like a month and a half ago, is what he's saying is that by simply making it hard to cheat, that is stealing the vote.
• 1:33:36
  SPEAKER_08: So understand that they're admitting that right now the election system is meant to allow people to cheat.
• 1:33:46
  SPEAKER_08: And if they're going to do things like clear the voter rolls, clean the voter rolls, uh disallow people that should not be voting to vote, that's when people should get, you know, put their duke up, put their dukes up and get out there in the street.
• 1:34:00
  SPEAKER_08: And that should be terrifying to anyone that actually is like, well, I just want to have an election system where it's easy to vote, right?
• 1:34:09
  SPEAKER_08: But hard to cheat.
• 1:34:11
  SPEAKER_08: And the Democrats want to have a system that it's easy to cheat and hard to convict, and that's uh entirely something that people need to be aware of.
• 1:34:19
  SPEAKER_15: Uh before we go to uh to Max and uh Catherine, just uh real quick, a little just to back up to Faces of Death.
• 1:34:27
  SPEAKER_15: Um so uh real and faked.
• 1:34:29
  SPEAKER_15: So I thought I was kind of right.
• 1:34:30
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 1:34:31
  SPEAKER_15: The 78 documentary, Faces of Death, is a mix of real footage, about 60%, and staged or recreated special effects, about 40%.
• 1:34:39
  SPEAKER_15: Many of the scenes featured real news broadcasts, stock footage, autopsies, accidental deaths, traffic accidents, industrial mishaps.
• 1:34:47
  SPEAKER_15: Uh along with you know, it's so funny.
• 1:34:49
  SPEAKER_15: As a kid, this was like, oh, it's so cool.
• 1:34:50
  SPEAKER_15: Now it's just depressing.
• 1:34:54
  SPEAKER_15: Along with real animal slaughter footage, again, depressing.
• 1:34:58
  SPEAKER_15: Uh the most famous and brutal executions and the murder scenes, those were all faked or stage clips.
• 1:35:02
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 1:35:03
  SPEAKER_15: Uh back to uh Ellison uh Max.
• 1:35:05
  SPEAKER_14: Okay.
• 1:35:07
  SPEAKER_15: With a roller coaster ride, I know.
• 1:35:08
  SPEAKER_14: Let me figure out how to get my bearings here.
• 1:35:12
  SPEAKER_15: Choose your own adventure.
• 1:35:14
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 1:35:15
  SPEAKER_14: What I would just say about Keith Ellison is I hope Republicans uh it's my personal hope that Republicans sweep the election, right?
• 1:35:24
  SPEAKER_14: But nobody deserves to lose his election more than Keith Ellison does.
• 1:35:28
  SPEAKER_14: You just listen to that monologue.
• 1:35:30
  SPEAKER_14: This guy is not a serious person.
• 1:35:34
  SPEAKER_14: Like, how do we have this person get elected twice to be our attorney general?
• 1:35:38
  SPEAKER_14: Just listen to the way that he talks.
• 1:35:40
  SPEAKER_14: It's like that is our top law enforcement official in Minnesota.
• 1:35:46
  SPEAKER_14: What I would just say though is it's pretty rich that he's talking about Republicans cheating.
• 1:35:51
  SPEAKER_14: Rewind back to COVID.
• 1:35:53
  SPEAKER_14: Keith Ellison and Steve Simon basically coordinated with each other to just eviscerate our election laws in Minnesota.
• 1:36:01
  SPEAKER_14: There is not two people in the state of Minnesota who have laxed our elections more than those two because they entered into consent decrees with one another and they completely rewrote how our elections work.
• 1:36:13
  SPEAKER_14: So if you really care about having a safe and secure election, something that they opine that we have over and over and over again, you would have not entered a bunch of consent decrees to fundamentally change the way our elections work.
• 1:36:30
  SPEAKER_14: If you're concerned about cheating, well, you enabled the way that people can cheat.
• 1:36:36
  SPEAKER_14: We we should go back to paper ballots, uh figure out our voter registration, not have a bunch of same-day registration.
• 1:36:46
  SPEAKER_14: We should shorten our window for mail-in balloting in Minnesota.
• 1:36:50
  SPEAKER_14: All of these things are things that Keith Ellison himself is personally responsible for.
• 1:36:56
  SPEAKER_14: So I find it pretty rich that he's all of a sudden concerned about cheating because he was not concerned about cheating in 2020.
• 1:37:03
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, the things that Republicans are advocating for are often going back to how things were like a couple years ago.
• 1:37:10
  SPEAKER_06: Like you said, Max, in COVID, all of these laws around voting changed and became really weak.
• 1:37:16
  SPEAKER_06: We have weak voting laws, some of the weakest in the country now in Minnesota.
• 1:37:20
  SPEAKER_06: And so him calling it cheating to want to change some of that back to how it was not even that long ago, is of course, I mean, it's just laughable.
• 1:37:31
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I uh kind of hot take.
• 1:37:32
  SPEAKER_16: I 100% agree with Keith Ellison.
• 1:37:35
  SPEAKER_16: Republicans are absolutely gonna steal and cheat, so we should have paper ballots and photo IDs and pass the Save Act so that they cannot cheat and steal this election.
• 1:37:43
  SPEAKER_16: 100%.
• 1:37:44
  SPEAKER_10: Amen.
• 1:37:44
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that's a great point.
• 1:37:45
  SPEAKER_16: So, and also I would love an attorney general that doesn't say, yeah, that's what's up.
• 1:37:50
  SPEAKER_14: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:37:51
  SPEAKER_14: It's like a joke.
• 1:37:52
  SPEAKER_14: That's just kind of my yeah, that's what's up.
• 1:37:54
  SPEAKER_14: Put your dukes up.
• 1:37:55
  SPEAKER_14: It's like Yeah, it's like, dude, what?
• 1:37:56
  SPEAKER_14: You're the attorney general.
• 1:37:58
  SPEAKER_14: Yes, you're a statewide elected official.
• 1:37:59
  SPEAKER_14: Like, act like that.
• 1:38:01
  SPEAKER_15: Well, it's it's funny to me because, and I want to get to a couple of comments here from the uh from the blaster line.
• 1:38:06
  SPEAKER_15: And again, we have our Freedom Friday crew, Catherine, Jill, aka and Max, and uh producer Isaac uh this morning.
• 1:38:12
  SPEAKER_15: But one thing that's really stuck out to me is just how bad specifically Keith Ellison and Peggy Flanagan are at running a campaign.
• 1:38:22
  SPEAKER_15: It's really, really bad.
• 1:38:24
  SPEAKER_15: Now I know that overall the Democrats have taken this attempt to try to put Trump on the ballot, which is really odd to me because that's what Trump wants, and that makes sense because he inspires people to go to go and vote.
• 1:38:37
  SPEAKER_15: But beyond that, like I'm just watching, and I'm trying to be as objective as possible in my subjectivity of watching these two clowns.
• 1:38:45
  SPEAKER_15: But when I watch their ads online, like they just come off buffoonish.
• 1:38:49
  SPEAKER_15: So, like with Ellison in his stupid little, you know, Panamanian hat just looking around, hey man, I'm fighting for you.
• 1:38:56
  SPEAKER_15: And then you get you get Peggy Flanagan out there standing in an open field looking like Paula Poundstone in some ridiculous clown outfit.
• 1:39:05
  SPEAKER_07: Who is Paula Poundstone?
• 1:39:07
  SPEAKER_07: You're the second person I've heard say that.
• 1:39:10
  SPEAKER_15: Look up Paula Poundstone, and she looks like a spitting image of Peggy Flanagan in that stupid video of her standing on a field that's now become a meme because there's the moment where she's where she's pointing, and oh my gosh.
• 1:39:23
  SPEAKER_15: I completely lost my computer over here.
• 1:39:28
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:39:29
  SPEAKER_15: No blasts.
• 1:39:30
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, seriously.
• 1:39:32
  SPEAKER_08: I completely lost the curse of Paula Poundstone.
• 1:39:35
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, seriously.
• 1:39:38
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, too many times, man.
• 1:39:39
  SPEAKER_06: Bill Walsh made a good point that, like, in that video, her scarf looks like a clown scarf that she's gonna start tugging on at some point and just never stop.
• 1:39:48
  SPEAKER_06: I was like, yes, that is exactly what it is.
• 1:39:50
  SPEAKER_08: I I find it funny that one of two things is happening and the Ruthless podcast, they they covered this, right?
• 1:39:57
  SPEAKER_08: It's either one, she is trying to be funny, but she never ever acknowledges that she's trying to be funny.
• 1:40:04
  SPEAKER_08: Like if she would just add in like one more line that she could like clown Republicans, then people be like, oh, okay, it's it's whatever.
• 1:40:11
  SPEAKER_08: So because that never comes, it never comes.
• 1:40:13
  SPEAKER_08: So because of that, it's it has to be that her staff hates her.
• 1:40:18
  SPEAKER_08: Like her staff must absolutely despise her to let her go out there and look like a clown.
• 1:40:25
  SPEAKER_08: Her like collars not even tucked in underneath her blazer, her shoes are absurd, her like her G her outfit is like she does look like it uh like a hobo clown from like the 1940s.
• 1:40:38
  SPEAKER_15: Let's get to a few more of your thoughts on the uh blaster line.
• 1:40:42
  SPEAKER_15: 651-964-0294.
• 1:40:45
  SPEAKER_42: Happy Freedom Friday, everyone.
• 1:40:47
  SPEAKER_42: Isn't it odd how since Steve Simon was put in office in 2014, the same year he began no excuse to do balancing that the Democratic Party in Minnesota has not lost one state wide election?
• 1:41:03
  SPEAKER_42: I find that fascinating since like everything else is divided.
• 1:41:08
  SPEAKER_42: I don't know, most people get right there's all of those questions to have a great day.
• 1:41:15
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, it is it is curious to bring that up because I'm I'm hyper focused on retaining and expanding our majority in the state house.
• 1:41:23
  SPEAKER_14: And when you look at kind of the popular vote, the total popular vote of state house candidates and state senate candidates, it literally is 50-50 every single time.
• 1:41:36
  SPEAKER_14: And I do wonder about that.
• 1:41:37
  SPEAKER_14: I do wonder about how much ticket splitting actually happens versus what kind of shenanigans are being played where you have state house candidates who win a district, but then somebody like Keith Ellison win a district by six or seven more percent than the your generic Democrat candidate does.
• 1:41:57
  SPEAKER_14: I I am hopeful about the way that this election will go, but I just go back to when whether we're talking about Peggy Flanagan and the disheveled suit, and then also the ad itself is quite bad from a messaging perspective, to Keith Ellison, who's from what I can tell, Keith Ellison is sitting here going, like, I'm really tough on fraud.
• 1:42:19
  SPEAKER_14: It's like, what you are the last person in the entire country, I would say, is tough on fraud.
• 1:42:26
  SPEAKER_14: I just think that this might be a breaking point for Minnesotans.
• 1:42:29
  SPEAKER_14: I think that there might be a certain level of exhaustion that we have representatives like Keith Ellison or Peggy Flanagan going out with these ads.
• 1:42:37
  SPEAKER_14: So 20-some odd days left.
• 1:42:40
  SPEAKER_14: I'm I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about our chances.
• 1:42:44
  SPEAKER_33: Hey John, this is Mick.
• 1:42:46
  SPEAKER_33: I I can't believe it's true, but when I was watching the uh Peggy Flanagan video, the red scarf to me looked a lot like those t-shirts that those Charlie Kirk.
• 1:42:57
  SPEAKER_15: Um, no, I didn't take that at all.
• 1:42:59
  SPEAKER_15: I just took it as a really bad fashion sense.
• 1:43:01
  SPEAKER_15: Can I back up for just a moment and say we were talking about Halloween faces of death, right?
• 1:43:05
  SPEAKER_15: Being scared and all that.
• 1:43:06
  SPEAKER_15: Nothing more terrifying than what I just personally went through with my screen going completely black over here.
• 1:43:12
  SPEAKER_10: I thought you were gonna tie that in with Peggy Flanagan.
• 1:43:14
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, that's that's scary too.
• 1:43:16
  SPEAKER_14: That is scary.
• 1:43:17
  SPEAKER_15: I'm like looking forward to going, I don't know if you had the camera on me or not, but I'm looking forward to going back and just watching the sheer amount of terror on my face because my I was watching the screen.
• 1:43:25
  SPEAKER_14: It was um you were animated.
• 1:43:27
  SPEAKER_15: What the heck?
• 1:43:28
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, so you were animated.
• 1:43:29
  SPEAKER_15: Are we back in business?
• 1:43:30
  SPEAKER_15: No, we're fine now.
• 1:43:31
  SPEAKER_16: You didn't even go off air.
• 1:43:33
  SPEAKER_15: No, I know.
• 1:43:34
  SPEAKER_15: My screen just went like completely.
• 1:43:35
  SPEAKER_15: It was just, I don't know when I what did I do?
• 1:43:37
  SPEAKER_15: Did I say something bad?
• 1:43:39
  SPEAKER_16: Did I I don't know?
• 1:43:40
  SPEAKER_15: Did they get mad at me or something?
• 1:43:41
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:43:41
  SPEAKER_15: Paula Ponzo's.
• 1:43:45
  SPEAKER_06: I looked her up, by the way, and it's pretty spot on.
• 1:43:48
  SPEAKER_06: I told you.
• 1:43:48
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_15: It's bad.
• 1:43:50
  SPEAKER_06: Can I ask you a question, Max?
• 1:43:51
  SPEAKER_06: Kind of on this like topic.
• 1:43:52
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, what do you make of the fact that we have so many more votes cast in very recent years in these elections than before?
• 1:44:00
  SPEAKER_06: Like the number of ballots cast has just skyrocketed, it seems to me.
• 1:44:05
  SPEAKER_06: Like, what do you make of that element of all this?
• 1:44:07
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, well, I think part of it is some of the election shenanigans.
• 1:44:13
  SPEAKER_14: I think that people, generally speaking, I think people are more interested in politics because of all of the cultural stuff we've gone through over the last decade.
• 1:44:23
  SPEAKER_14: I think specifically with COVID, COVID like increased the bar for how we participate in elections.
• 1:44:30
  SPEAKER_14: But I listen, I want as many people to vote who feel like they're educated enough to vote to vote.
• 1:44:37
  SPEAKER_14: That said, it seems like we're just hyper focused on politics as like a society, more so than we have been in the past.
• 1:44:45
  SPEAKER_14: Like, I think about my parents.
• 1:44:47
  SPEAKER_14: My parents never talked to me about politics, right?
• 1:44:51
  SPEAKER_14: I can't imagine a modern 2026 household where politics is not part of the conversation.
• 1:44:56
  SPEAKER_15: I had to steer it away when it came to, I mean, obviously, because of what I do as a as a talk show host, right?
• 1:45:02
  SPEAKER_15: And at a young age, my boys, you know, I try not to talk about it at home.
• 1:45:06
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, that's for me, my own personal sanity.
• 1:45:09
  SPEAKER_15: I can compartmentalize a lot.
• 1:45:10
  SPEAKER_15: But I'm the same way.
• 1:45:11
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, I would actually tell them, listen, no, we can we can talk about this, I'll answer your questions, but I didn't want to get into any deep discussions before they were of the age of 18 and can vote.
• 1:45:20
  SPEAKER_15: I just didn't, I wanted a little bit of innocence for these guys, especially, you know, that was all kind of swirling around the COVID situation.
• 1:45:28
  SPEAKER_15: Um as well.
• 1:45:29
  SPEAKER_15: Jill, when it came to the politics in your house with your kids, how did you how did you handle them?
• 1:45:33
  SPEAKER_15: I'm just I'm curious.
• 1:45:34
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, we've been indoctrinating them since they were born.
• 1:45:36
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_10: I just in fact, I have a funny story if you want to hear it.
• 1:45:40
  SPEAKER_10: Absolutely.
• 1:45:42
  SPEAKER_10: Um before he was kind of of age of understanding, he didn't have a clue what was going on with Tim Walls and his tampons.
• 1:45:55
  SPEAKER_10: And so my husband was giving him the talk.
• 1:45:57
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 1:45:58
  SPEAKER_10: And in the middle of the talk, he's like, is that why they call him tampon Tim?
• 1:46:05
  SPEAKER_10: Like it was just he was the lights came on and it was hysterical.
• 1:46:09
  SPEAKER_15: Well, let and let me let me add another element to this, because in the middle of when you were talking, at least it wasn't about the dimdos, that would have been even more difficult of a discussion.
• 1:46:19
  SPEAKER_15: No, but another facet to this I should be clear too, uh, because you know, of course, we would talk to our children about important matters and indoctrinate our children as well.
• 1:46:28
  SPEAKER_15: But at the point in time when I had started the show here and the boys were going into high school, everything was getting heightened politically.
• 1:46:36
  SPEAKER_15: And what my fear was, it was I didn't want my boys to be exposed as they were exposed to politics out in public, I didn't suddenly want them sort of riffing off of what they thought I was saying about certain issues.
• 1:46:53
  SPEAKER_15: And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna, when they come to me and ask questions, we'll talk about it.
• 1:46:57
  SPEAKER_15: But I did not want to fill them with too much of the context of what was happening because their brains are too, you know, still developing.
• 1:47:04
  SPEAKER_15: And I didn't I didn't want them to be saying the wrong thing to people, thinking that's what their dad said.
• 1:47:09
  SPEAKER_15: So when they would come and talk to me, I would talk to them about it.
• 1:47:12
  SPEAKER_15: But other than that, I was like, you know, when you hear politics, you have questions, let me know.
• 1:47:16
  SPEAKER_15: And when you get closer to voting age, we can talk about it.
• 1:47:18
  SPEAKER_06: That's kind of the opposite of what my my parents did.
• 1:47:21
  SPEAKER_15: That doesn't shock me at all.
• 1:47:23
  SPEAKER_15: Uh I want to get to uh I want to get to this blast that uh rolled in, 651-964-0294.
• 1:47:29
  SPEAKER_40: Hey, can you please have AK read the transcript from the cat guy in the city council?
• 1:47:35
  SPEAKER_40: It sounds an awful lot alike.
• 1:47:37
  SPEAKER_40: I just kind of think it would be funny if we'll see.
• 1:47:40
  SPEAKER_50: I do not have hold on.
• 1:47:42
  SPEAKER_50: Hold on, let me play, let me play the clip.
• 1:47:43
  SPEAKER_50: And cats have been killed by these autonomous vehicles, and I have a cat.
• 1:47:48
  SPEAKER_50: I don't want my cat getting killed because of these autonomous vehicles.
• 1:47:51
  SPEAKER_50: So those to those cat lovers out there, just know that these Waymo vehicles, these autonomous vehicles have killed cats.
• 1:47:56
  SPEAKER_50: And that's unfair.
• 1:47:57
  SPEAKER_50: I just watched a video sitting here from the Deus, and it was really hard to watch.
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_50: Literally, cats being murdered by these vehicles.
• 1:48:04
  SPEAKER_08: Listen, I I have no problem if you have uh an effeminate, uh, what I would say like gay accent.
• 1:48:11
  SPEAKER_08: I do not have that.
• 1:48:12
  SPEAKER_08: Um now I I from time to time will joke around when I say like, yes, queens, and stuff like that.
• 1:48:19
  SPEAKER_08: That is me intentionally trying to have a gay accent.
• 1:48:22
  SPEAKER_08: And I don't even know if that's like politically correct to say, but that's what I describe it as a gay accent.
• 1:48:29
  SPEAKER_08: I don't have that.
• 1:48:29
  SPEAKER_07: I would like to say for the record, I don't think you've done anything like that.
• 1:48:32
  SPEAKER_08: Okay, thank you.
• 1:48:33
  SPEAKER_08: Thank you.
• 1:48:34
  SPEAKER_08: My goodness.
• 1:48:35
  SPEAKER_08: I need to start taking some like lessons.
• 1:48:37
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
• 1:48:38
  SPEAKER_08: Do I need to start like, I don't know, like uh just lowering my voice?
• 1:48:44
  SPEAKER_14: I need to get to get some tests rolling.
• 1:48:46
  SPEAKER_14: If people are mistaking you for him, that's uh man, shots fired.
• 1:48:50
  SPEAKER_08: I need to like jump on some like Wigove, Ozempic, lose some weight, get jacked in here, bro.
• 1:48:56
  SPEAKER_15: Can you uh do me a favor and talk about your accent again?
• 1:48:58
  SPEAKER_15: But can you hold up the can of soda that you brought in, Nick?
• 1:49:02
  SPEAKER_08: Listen, this is a very masculine drink, okay?
• 1:49:06
  SPEAKER_08: I know it's purple, but purple pride, Viking Skull.
• 1:49:10
  SPEAKER_08: Um, and and also purple is the color of royalty, okay?
• 1:49:14
  SPEAKER_15: Got a uh text that rolled into the blaster line.
• 1:49:16
  SPEAKER_15: It is so unfair that some people in Minnesota have Max as a representative.
• 1:49:21
  SPEAKER_15: He is so intelligent and informative.
• 1:49:24
  SPEAKER_15: I am in 62A, and my representative is a douchebag.
• 1:49:29
  SPEAKER_08: Shout out.
• 1:49:30
  SPEAKER_08: We need more Maxes.
• 1:49:31
  SPEAKER_14: That was that was me texting the blast line anonymously.
• 1:49:35
  SPEAKER_08: Literally.
• 1:49:35
  SPEAKER_14: Max is so awesome and intelligent.
• 1:49:38
  SPEAKER_14: Wow.
• 1:49:39
  SPEAKER_14: Can't believe how handsome.
• 1:49:40
  SPEAKER_16: Wow, he looks really good today.
• 1:49:41
  SPEAKER_14: I'm definitely in Minneapolis.
• 1:49:44
  SPEAKER_14: Love the show.
• 1:49:48
  SPEAKER_39: These in the morning intro reminds me of Jerry.
• 1:49:51
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, she he says that when AK says uh yes, Queen, in the morning intro, it invite it reminds them of Jerry Lewis, to which I asked the group, okay, show of hands if you're.
• 1:50:00
  SPEAKER_15: Who knows who's Jerry Lewis?
• 1:50:00
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:50:01
  SPEAKER_15: Jerry Lewis in the news?
• 1:50:02
  SPEAKER_15: No, Jerry Lewis.
• 1:50:03
  SPEAKER_15: That's Huey.
• 1:50:04
  SPEAKER_15: That's Huey.
• 1:50:06
  SPEAKER_15: Jerry Lewis in the news is a completely other band.
• 1:50:09
  SPEAKER_14: Jerry Lewis in the news.
• 1:50:12
  SPEAKER_14: That's my cover band.
• 1:50:17
  SPEAKER_08: That's actually a really great cover band.
• 1:50:19
  SPEAKER_08: People think you're like really in-depth, you know, it's very pithy.
• 1:50:24
  SPEAKER_15: Man, it's early.
• 1:50:25
  SPEAKER_15: It's not good.
• 1:50:26
  SPEAKER_15: I'll tell you what, uh, the show must be going well because uh there is one former uh member of the show who is very disappointed they're not here right now.
• 1:50:34
  SPEAKER_15: So shout out to uh shout out to Grace Keating who is listening from home this morning.
• 1:50:39
  SPEAKER_14: Just one one other thing.
• 1:50:40
  SPEAKER_14: AK if AK, can we get the camera on AK and hold up the energy drink again?
• 1:50:44
  SPEAKER_14: I've done this meme before, but every time every time he does this, every time he brings in his little weird colored energy drinks, it always reminds me of Daryl from the office who invested in the gay Japanese energy drink.
• 1:50:59
  SPEAKER_14: And AK looks like Daryl, and he always has these fruity little energy drinks.
• 1:51:05
  SPEAKER_14: And I'm like, what?
• 1:51:06
  SPEAKER_14: Did you invest?
• 1:51:07
  SPEAKER_14: Are you into some kind of like weird?
• 1:51:09
  SPEAKER_08: I'm trying to invest, all right?
• 1:51:11
  SPEAKER_08: I want I want Ghost to sponsor the John Justice show.
• 1:51:14
  SPEAKER_08: That'd be sick, actually.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it would be sick.
• 1:51:16
  SPEAKER_15: The best moment of the gay energy drink on the office is when the uh when Robert California, towards the end of when he leaves, he ends up drinking.
• 1:51:25
  SPEAKER_15: It's like, this tastes great.
• 1:51:28
  SPEAKER_15: All right, let's do let's do this.
• 1:51:30
  SPEAKER_15: We need to get to some more serious matters.
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, we gotta dive into what's been taking place with all the tamali gang violence that's been happening.
• 1:51:37
  SPEAKER_15: Uh did you guys not hear this earlier?
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_08: Somali.
• 1:51:40
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so the transcript that I use for the blaster, it transcribes the the talk with the comments, the blast when they roll in, but it keeps transcribing Somali into tamali.
• 1:51:50
  SPEAKER_15: That's awesome.
• 1:51:50
  SPEAKER_15: So when it first happened, when it first happened earlier this week, I was like, why is everybody suddenly talking about tamales?
• 1:51:57
  SPEAKER_15: I wasn't bringing that.
• 1:51:57
  SPEAKER_15: I was like, oh, now I get it.
• 1:51:59
  SPEAKER_15: So I was thinking earlier this morning, if it continues to be a controversy because you're not supposed to say Somali, maybe we can just say tamali instead.
• 1:52:06
  SPEAKER_15: Probably not a good idea.
• 1:52:07
  SPEAKER_15: We need to get into this.
• 1:52:08
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, there's some new updates.
• 1:52:10
  SPEAKER_15: We have audio from some of the uh members of the Somali immigrant community.
• 1:52:16
  SPEAKER_15: I want to get the thoughts from the Freedom Friday crew, Max, A.K.
• 1:52:19
  SPEAKER_15: Jill, and uh Catherine.
• 1:52:21
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, but since we wiped out a bit uh talking about the city council and Jason Chavez, uh, we'll go ahead and uh spike in the rock version of Stop Cat on a Freedom Friday.
• 1:52:32
  SPEAKER_15: It's the John Justice show presented by American uh Experiment, and of course, we've got uh Isaac uh producing the show doing a fantastic job.
• 1:52:39
  SPEAKER_50: I will say cats have been killed, and cats have been killed by these autonomous vehicles, and I have a cat.
• 1:52:45
  SPEAKER_50: I don't want my cat getting killed because of these autonomous vehicles.
• 1:52:48
  SPEAKER_50: So those to those cat lovers out there, just know that these Wayne Mill vehicles, these autonomous vehicles have killed cats.
• 1:52:53
  SPEAKER_50: Literally, cats being murdered by these vehicles.
• 1:55:08
  SPEAKER_50: I won't say cats have been killed, and cats have been killed by autonomous vehicles.
• 1:55:14
  SPEAKER_50: And I have a cat.
• 1:55:14
  SPEAKER_50: I don't want my cat getting killed because of these autonomous vehicles.
• 1:55:17
  SPEAKER_50: So those to those cat lovers out there, just know that these Waymo vehicles, these autonomous vehicles have killed cats.
• 1:55:22
  SPEAKER_50: Literally, cats being murdered by these vehicles.
• 1:55:25
  SPEAKER_02: There are no roving gangs of Somali people in this community harassing, threatening, doing anything to any of our community members.
• 1:55:36
  SPEAKER_02: And let me repeat that again because I've heard this often.
• 1:55:39
  SPEAKER_02: There are no roving gangs of Somalis targeting or harassing or doing anything inappropriate to any community members.
• 1:55:48
  SPEAKER_02: Those are simply lies.
• 1:55:50
  SPEAKER_02: It is not true.
• 1:55:52
  SPEAKER_15: So I have the full version of when Scary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, made those comments.
• 1:56:01
  SPEAKER_15: I'll share it with you coming up in a bit here on the John Justice show presented by American Experiment.
• 1:56:07
  SPEAKER_15: I will say this went back to she made those comments, and again, I'll play the entire clip later on.
• 1:56:11
  SPEAKER_15: She did those comments in light of President Donald Trump initially sending the ICE agents to Minnesota.
• 1:56:19
  SPEAKER_15: And she was full of it then, and she's full of it now.
• 1:56:22
  SPEAKER_15: And as a matter of fact, I went into X.
• 1:56:25
  SPEAKER_15: She has not posted anything.
• 1:56:27
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:56:28
  SPEAKER_15: Nothing whatsoever.
• 1:56:30
  SPEAKER_15: And I have the I'll sh I'll tell you what she has been posting.
• 1:56:32
  SPEAKER_15: She's been posting nothing about what has been taking place regarding the Somali uh gang violence uh that is now grabbing national headlines.
• 1:56:40
  SPEAKER_15: I did um Fox News earlier this week.
• 1:56:43
  SPEAKER_15: I was on Newsmax last night, and I'm doing Newsmax again on Sunday after afternoon.
• 1:56:48
  SPEAKER_15: Uh it's like you know, Minnesota ends up being the gift that keeps on giving for crying out loud when it comes to national news coverage.
• 1:56:55
  SPEAKER_15: This broke overnight.
• 1:56:56
  SPEAKER_15: A Minneapolis police officer fired their weapon last night after a 16-year-old driving an allegedly stolen vehicle made contact with a squad car.
• 1:57:05
  SPEAKER_15: It happened in the area of Pleasant Avenue and 31st Street around 4 45 p.m., according to the Minneapolis police sergeant Garrett Parton.
• 1:57:12
  SPEAKER_15: Parton told local media last night the preliminary investigation shows a 16-year-old boy stole a vehicle in an armed carjacking.
• 1:57:23
  SPEAKER_15: I don't want us to get too complacent or used to those particular details.
• 1:57:30
  SPEAKER_15: A 16-year-old who was armed did a carjacking.
• 1:57:36
  SPEAKER_15: Officers responded.
• 1:57:37
  SPEAKER_15: The carjacked vehicle made physical contact with the MPD squad car.
• 1:57:41
  SPEAKER_15: An MPD officer then fired their service weapon, but the suspect was not struck.
• 1:57:45
  SPEAKER_15: The 16-year-old was taken to the hospital to be evaluated.
• 1:57:48
  SPEAKER_15: Parton said two officers had minor injuries.
• 1:57:51
  SPEAKER_15: Here's what a little bit of what he had to uh to say.
• 1:57:54
  SPEAKER_15: We are uh very profoundly grateful that no one was seriously injured in this incident.
• 1:57:59
  SPEAKER_15: When a police officer discharges their firearm during an encounter with a 16-year-old boy, the potential consequences are enormous.
• 1:58:05
  SPEAKER_15: The incident could have ended with a Minneapolis police officer seriously injuring or killing a 16-year-old boy.
• 1:58:11
  SPEAKER_15: And with such an outcome, it would have been absolutely devastating.
• 1:58:15
  SPEAKER_15: It would have changed the life of that boy, devastating for his family.
• 1:58:18
  SPEAKER_15: It would have profoundly impacted the officer involved and the other responding officers.
• 1:58:22
  SPEAKER_15: And I like the fact that he was going into such detail with this.
• 1:58:26
  SPEAKER_15: It would have had a deeply affected this neighborhood where it occurred.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_15: The broader community and our city as a whole re-recognize the seriousness of an officer that discharge discharges their firearm, regardless of anybody was struck.
• 1:58:37
  SPEAKER_15: It's why I can't overstate how thankful we are that this encounter did not result in the loss of a life or serious injury.
• 1:58:45
  SPEAKER_15: And hat tip uh to uh the uh police uh sergeant in Minneapolis, Garrett uh Garrett Parton, again for his comments, because that's exactly what needs to be said.
• 1:58:55
  SPEAKER_15: Because he took it a step further.
• 1:58:56
  SPEAKER_15: It wasn't just about the incident.
• 1:58:58
  SPEAKER_15: He detailed exactly what I think my commentary and the commentary of the Freedom Friday group more than likely would have been, and that is if this person had been killed, I think we all know what the reaction would have uh been.
• 1:59:10
  SPEAKER_15: So as we get into this Somali gang violence issue, and including the guy that was um thwarted from a terror attack on a mall of America, we can kind of get the instinctive reaction of everybody regarding this story.
• 1:59:22
  SPEAKER_15: We don't know the background of this kid yet, so we can all kind of guess, but we don't know the background of the 16-year-old yet.
• 1:59:27
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, well, it's just frustrating because things keep happening in our cities that clearly seem to be the result of our leaders prioritizing um their ideological goals over the actual safety of um individuals in our community.
• 1:59:42
  SPEAKER_06: And like it's just so high stakes.
• 1:59:44
  SPEAKER_06: Like if you're a a politician and you you kind of expect this behavior when you're married Moriarty and it's not really a political office, and you have really high stakes when it comes to your job, there's life or death decisions to be made.
• 1:59:56
  SPEAKER_06: She continues to push narratives that just drive her ideological ends, like the video we watched about there not being Somali gangs.
• 2:00:04
  SPEAKER_06: I know that today her office is in court uh going after an ICE officer.
• 2:00:09
  SPEAKER_06: Our friends at UMLC are defending him.
• 2:00:11
  SPEAKER_06: Um so instead of going after the criminals who are continuing to wreak havoc in our community, thank goodness lives weren't lost this time, but instead of doing that, today she's in she's she's in court going after an ICE officer.
• 2:00:24
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, what in the world?
• 2:00:25
  SPEAKER_06: To me, that's really uh upsetting, and I hope it is to normal, non-political maybe people as well.
• 2:01:01
  SPEAKER_15: This morning, we're getting into the recent Somali uh gang of violence that has taken place, the Mall of America terror plot uh that was stopped.
• 2:01:10
  SPEAKER_15: We have new audio to share from individuals inside of the Somali community.
• 2:01:15
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, an 18-year-old was arrested after shooting outside of the Eden Prairie homecoming football game.
• 2:01:21
  SPEAKER_15: Right now, we are uh talking about as our lead-in, a Minneapolis police officer fires at a 16-year-old armed carjacking suspect yesterday.
• 2:01:30
  SPEAKER_15: Suspect uh was not struck uh after shots were fired, but is recovering after some uh minor injuries in the hospital.
• 2:01:38
  SPEAKER_15: Joining us, uh, we have uh AK Kamara, we have Max, we have Catherine, and Jill, I hear from Center the American Experiment, getting your guys' uh thoughts.
• 2:01:47
  SPEAKER_15: And uh Jill, your thoughts on uh on this uh recent story here.
• 2:01:52
  SPEAKER_10: Well, I think we probably need more gun control because this kid obviously got hold of a legal weapon legally.
• 2:02:01
  SPEAKER_14: So and the gun got up and shot.
• 2:02:04
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I mean it's i i it's it's kind I think I think we need more legislation.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_10: Max, can you take care of that?
• 2:02:12
  SPEAKER_14: Well, not g not gun control.
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_14: I don't think that is the answer.
• 2:02:17
  SPEAKER_14: I know you're you're kidding about that, but Nadia Muhammad wanted to ban all guns and that was a joke.
• 2:02:23
  SPEAKER_14: Until she didn't, and she backtracked on that whole deal, but sorry.
• 2:02:26
  SPEAKER_14: Here's one of the unspoken or the unacknowledged things that had happened during the trifecta.
• 2:02:33
  SPEAKER_14: This pro this kid was 16, right, in this story?
• 2:02:36
  SPEAKER_14: Yep.
• 2:02:37
  SPEAKER_14: Did I hear that right?
• 2:02:38
  SPEAKER_14: Yep.
• 2:02:38
  SPEAKER_14: Yep.
• 2:02:38
  SPEAKER_14: Okay.
• 2:02:39
  SPEAKER_14: Well, law enforcement knows about this kid well before he's 16.
• 2:02:43
  SPEAKER_14: You don't just get up one day and start magically popping a gun off.
• 2:02:47
  SPEAKER_14: Okay.
• 2:02:48
  SPEAKER_14: So one thing that happened during the trifecta that we tried to reverse last year was if you are 13 years old or under, I don't think people know this, you cannot be convicted of a crime in Minnesota.
• 2:03:03
  SPEAKER_14: Yep.
• 2:03:03
  SPEAKER_14: You will be referred to, I believe it's chips, you'll be referred to family programs, but essentially the trifecta passed a bill basically saying you could not prosecute no matter how serious the crime was, a 13 or young uh 13-year-old or younger.
• 2:03:19
  SPEAKER_14: And what that does is that continues to send them down a path where there is not corrective action.
• 2:03:26
  SPEAKER_14: Or it leverages children for the use of gang violence because that 13-year-old or younger can faces no serious repercussions if they are on a path where they're gonna start shooting at cops at 16 years old.
• 2:03:42
  SPEAKER_14: You had people you had obviously Governor Walls sign that bill into law, you had Peggy Flanagan sitting right by him as he did it, you had Cedric Frazier, who was the number one speaker against reversing that legislation last year, who wants to be your next Hennepin County attorney.
• 2:04:00
  SPEAKER_14: These are just small incremental things.
• 2:04:02
  SPEAKER_14: When we talk about a culture of lawlessness in Minnesota, these are small little bills that add up to what we just saw in this story.
• 2:04:12
  SPEAKER_14: And you have Minnesota Democrat fingerprints all over it.
• 2:04:16
  SPEAKER_14: People who are asking for a promotion.
• 2:04:19
  SPEAKER_14: We didn't have Keith Ellison come in and testify that he was against something like this, even though he's gonna be responsible for really heinous crimes and prosecuting them.
• 2:04:29
  SPEAKER_14: All I can say is that it's stuff like that.
• 2:04:32
  SPEAKER_14: Not being able to prosecute a 13-year-old who's going down a dangerous path is how you get a 16-year-old who wants to shoot a cop, or how you get an 18-year-old who wants to have a mass casualty event at the Mall of America.
• 2:04:44
  SPEAKER_14: And again, these are the small pieces of legislation which add up to our broader cultural of a culture of lawlessness here in Minnesota.
• 2:04:53
  SPEAKER_06: Think about that too, in light of the body cam footage that just came out of the six-year-old who uh killed or I not killed, but shot his teacher.
• 2:05:01
  SPEAKER_15: Oh my gosh, yeah.
• 2:05:02
  SPEAKER_06: Uh yeah, I don't think we can just let kids off the hook completely, even if 13 seems a little young.
• 2:05:07
  SPEAKER_06: This kid was six.
• 2:05:08
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:05:09
  SPEAKER_06: And he learned that behavior.
• 2:05:10
  SPEAKER_15: If you guys haven't seen this yet, it's almost one of those ones where it's one of those videos where um like faces of death.
• 2:05:17
  SPEAKER_15: Um it's tough to go and recommend anybody watch it.
• 2:05:19
  SPEAKER_15: But yeah, there was uh there was a six sheet a six-year-old who shot his teacher, hit the teacher in the hand, I believe the bullet went through.
• 2:05:26
  SPEAKER_15: So they weren't they weren't they were harmed, but obviously they weren't, you know, uh mortally wounded.
• 2:05:31
  SPEAKER_15: Uh but this kid uh just cursing at the law enforcement officers, cursing at the teacher.
• 2:05:37
  SPEAKER_15: I it's just it's stunning, stunning video to watch.
• 2:05:40
  SPEAKER_15: It's a tough, tough watch.
• 2:05:41
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go to the blaster line before we get some further thoughts from the Freedom Friday crew.
• 2:05:50
  SPEAKER_36: Hearing you talk about the Tamali uh situation again here.
• 2:05:55
  SPEAKER_36: Uh the Tamali gang fights.
• 2:05:57
  SPEAKER_36: It makes me think about uh my local issues in Colorado, the pop-up Tamali fans duking it up or territory in Denver and Aurora.
• 2:06:06
  SPEAKER_36: It's uh it's my version of the Great Taco Wars of Trend Day Rise.
• 2:06:10
  SPEAKER_36: Yeah, it's true.
• 2:06:11
  SPEAKER_36: Yeah, it's true.
• 2:06:12
  SPEAKER_15: The Great Taco Wars of Blaine still uh rage on.
• 2:06:16
  SPEAKER_15: I was thinking somebody had made a comment earlier, I need to make a new parody based off of Tamali instead of Somali.
• 2:06:22
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 2:06:22
  SPEAKER_15: Although I can just basically use the lyrics from the other one and just change it to tamale, and then it takes on a whole other meaning.
• 2:06:28
  SPEAKER_15: Don't dare say they're tamali.
• 2:06:32
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I think it's a little offensive to the tamale.
• 2:06:35
  SPEAKER_15: Well, I had a tamali community.
• 2:06:37
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 2:06:38
  SPEAKER_15: Jill, you're not that far off.
• 2:06:39
  SPEAKER_15: I had a couple of people that said you're going a whole different route of offense by going the tamale tamales.
• 2:06:44
  SPEAKER_15: I'm not the biggest fan of tamales.
• 2:06:46
  SPEAKER_15: I like me the chimichongas.
• 2:06:47
  SPEAKER_15: Melinda's a big tamale fan.
• 2:06:49
  SPEAKER_15: You guys into tamales at all?
• 2:06:50
  SPEAKER_06: I've like never had a tamale.
• 2:06:51
  SPEAKER_06: You never had a tamales?
• 2:06:53
  SPEAKER_15: Tamales are amazing.
• 2:06:54
  SPEAKER_15: Absolute banger.
• 2:06:55
  SPEAKER_15: I don't I don't dislike them, don't misunderstand, but they're not my go-to.
• 2:06:58
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe I'll get some.
• 2:06:59
  SPEAKER_08: I would say that tamales are probably my number two, like, of all Latin foods.
• 2:07:05
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 2:07:06
  SPEAKER_08: Like that number two is a little bit more.
• 2:07:07
  SPEAKER_06: Isn't there a little bit of a complex thing where you don't eat the the the the thing it's in?
• 2:07:11
  SPEAKER_06: The corn husk?
• 2:07:12
  SPEAKER_06: The corn husk.
• 2:07:12
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, definitely don't eat the corn husk.
• 2:07:14
  SPEAKER_06: Well, some politician did this, right?
• 2:07:16
  SPEAKER_07: They bitten into the corn husk.
• 2:07:20
  SPEAKER_07: He lost the history.
• 2:07:20
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and it's deceiving because when you remove the corn husk, what you're left the edible part you're left with looks like the corn husk.
• 2:07:28
  SPEAKER_15: Because it sh it sh it shapes.
• 2:07:30
  SPEAKER_15: Corn mash.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_15: So you could yeah, so you could be you could be very confused.
• 2:07:34
  SPEAKER_15: So maybe he was just confused when you talk about it.
• 2:07:35
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, I'll tell you.
• 2:07:36
  SPEAKER_14: Politicians versus food, that is a that is an undefeated record for for food.
• 2:07:41
  SPEAKER_14: I have I am very intentional now as a politician that nobody photographs me trying to eat food because it always looks unnatural.
• 2:07:50
  SPEAKER_14: It when people are like, our politicians are reptilians, they're not actually human beings.
• 2:07:54
  SPEAKER_14: It's because you're looking at somebody who can't scarf down a corn dog like a human being.
• 2:08:00
  SPEAKER_08: It's because people eat really weirdly.
• 2:08:03
  SPEAKER_08: Like, just just think about it.
• 2:08:04
  SPEAKER_08: Like when I get after it, when I'm eating, I eat very, very fast.
• 2:08:08
  SPEAKER_08: I do too.
• 2:08:09
  SPEAKER_08: So I probably look like a psychopath.
• 2:08:12
  SPEAKER_08: If you were to film me eating, you know, you'd probably see some joy in my face and you know, just getting at it, not chewing enough.
• 2:08:20
  SPEAKER_06: Uh oh my gosh, my references like from 1976.
• 2:08:23
  SPEAKER_06: US President Gerald Ford ate a tamale with the cornhus still on during a campaign visit to the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas on April 9th, 1976.
• 2:08:33
  SPEAKER_08: Yikes.
• 2:08:34
  SPEAKER_08: Well, at least he won that.
• 2:08:35
  SPEAKER_08: Nope, nope, he did not get the case.
• 2:08:36
  SPEAKER_06: Gaff became famously known as the Great Tamale incident, and they later talked about this as a symbol of a candidate being culturally out of touch on the campaign trail.
• 2:08:45
  SPEAKER_15: Jill, where do you land on tamales?
• 2:08:47
  SPEAKER_15: Do you leave the corn husk on?
• 2:08:50
  SPEAKER_10: I actually take the insides out and eat only the corn husk.
• 2:08:53
  SPEAKER_15: Throw that away.
• 2:08:54
  SPEAKER_15: I don't want that rubbish.
• 2:08:55
  SPEAKER_15: See, this is why I can't switch the words out, because then it's gonna cause a lot of confusion.
• 2:09:00
  SPEAKER_15: Because at this point in time, how many people are listening going, are they talking about Somalis or are they talking about tamales?
• 2:09:05
  SPEAKER_15: Yes, I take the insides out.
• 2:09:07
  SPEAKER_15: I throw them away.
• 2:09:09
  SPEAKER_15: It's like the Jerry Seinfeld, but you can't order salsa or seltzer without getting salsa.
• 2:09:15
  SPEAKER_15: Isaac, did you have a take on a tamale take?
• 2:09:18
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I don't like them.
• 2:09:18
  SPEAKER_16: Oh, I don't like them.
• 2:09:20
  SPEAKER_16: Okay.
• 2:09:20
  SPEAKER_16: Well that was That's my deep take.
• 2:09:22
  SPEAKER_14: I just want to say that's simple and you can dance to it.
• 2:09:23
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, okay.
• 2:09:24
  SPEAKER_14: Getting back to the politicians and food real quick.
• 2:09:26
  SPEAKER_14: I did post on X during the state fair, there was a video.
• 2:09:30
  SPEAKER_14: This kind of speaks to like the herky jerky nature of the campaign Peggy Flanagan is running.
• 2:09:36
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, jerky is good.
• 2:09:38
  SPEAKER_14: Um delicious.
• 2:09:39
  SPEAKER_14: Peggy Flanagan and Tina Smith did a video together where they were like at the state fair and they're like trying to cheers their corn dogs.
• 2:09:46
  SPEAKER_14: And Tina Smith is she like licks the corn dog.
• 2:09:50
  SPEAKER_08: Well, she licks the corn.
• 2:09:51
  SPEAKER_14: She licks the corn.
• 2:09:52
  SPEAKER_14: It was a year of corn.
• 2:09:54
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, it was corn.
• 2:09:55
  SPEAKER_14: It was a corn dog.
• 2:09:56
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, she's like, she's tonguing the corn dog, she's tonguing the corn dog.
• 2:09:59
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, it was not a corn dog.
• 2:10:01
  SPEAKER_14: They were like cheering, they were like smashing their corn together, and then like they pull away, and Tina Smith doesn't know what to do with her body, and then she like licks the corn.
• 2:10:11
  SPEAKER_15: It's like what is going on?
• 2:10:13
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 2:10:13
  SPEAKER_15: The only one that's worse than Tina Smith tonguing the corn husk is the other group shot of Tina Smith, uh Peggy Flanagan.
• 2:10:23
  SPEAKER_15: They're at some rally and they're dancing to Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
• 2:10:29
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 2:10:29
  SPEAKER_15: Have you seen this one?
• 2:10:30
  SPEAKER_15: No.
• 2:10:31
  SPEAKER_15: Peggy Flanagan's got this, she's got this weird sort of move like this.
• 2:10:34
  SPEAKER_15: She's doing her shoulders back.
• 2:10:36
  SPEAKER_15: It's kind of like she wants to do the bus stop, but she's not quite doing the bus stop.
• 2:10:39
  SPEAKER_15: It's all very, very uncomfortable.
• 2:10:41
  SPEAKER_15: You're trying too hard.
• 2:10:42
  SPEAKER_15: All of our politicians are trying too hard.
• 2:10:43
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they think they're being very funny and cute.
• 2:10:46
  SPEAKER_15: I want to go back to the uh blaster line because we get try to get back to more serious.
• 2:10:50
  SPEAKER_15: Sorry.
• 2:10:51
  SPEAKER_15: Subject matters here.
• 2:10:52
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here.
• 2:10:52
  SPEAKER_32: Hey, John and the crew.
• 2:10:54
  SPEAKER_32: Great show this morning.
• 2:10:55
  SPEAKER_32: Uh it seems to me that this is the show you've always wanted to do, John.
• 2:11:00
  SPEAKER_32: Seems like you guys are having a blast, and I'm so glad that you're prospering after the mean meat.
• 2:11:07
  SPEAKER_15: Well, thank you for that.
• 2:11:08
  SPEAKER_15: I uh I uh yeah, I think he I think you meant me muscle.
• 2:11:11
  SPEAKER_15: Me, I think I was referring to me muscle meat as mean meat.
• 2:11:15
  SPEAKER_14: That was AK's name in high school.
• 2:11:17
  SPEAKER_14: It was.
• 2:11:18
  SPEAKER_52: It was.
• 2:11:23
  SPEAKER_52: I thought you were talking about hot tamales, like candy.
• 2:11:25
  SPEAKER_52: That's right.
• 2:11:26
  SPEAKER_52: Those are pretty good too.
• 2:11:27
  SPEAKER_15: I'm a big Senator Mindney.
• 2:11:28
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 2:11:29
  SPEAKER_15: Well, maybe that's what we refer to though, to the gangs.
• 2:11:31
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe the gangs are hot tamales.
• 2:11:33
  SPEAKER_15: Hot tamales.
• 2:11:34
  SPEAKER_15: I'm just gonna cause more confusion with all of this.
• 2:11:36
  SPEAKER_09: All right, since you went down the tamale wormhole with or without olives, and they should be should they be green or should they be black?
• 2:11:45
  SPEAKER_15: Uh I can I really don't have a preference.
• 2:11:48
  SPEAKER_15: Anybody does anybody have a preference?
• 2:11:49
  SPEAKER_08: Do they come with olives?
• 2:11:51
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I don't know the olive thing.
• 2:11:52
  SPEAKER_08: I just assume it's never heard that.
• 2:11:54
  SPEAKER_08: Uh that sounds weird We don't mind olives.
• 2:11:56
  SPEAKER_08: Uh I mean olives are okay, but that's that's like uh Mediterranean.
• 2:12:00
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 2:12:00
  SPEAKER_08: Tamales are Central America, I believe.
• 2:12:04
  SPEAKER_14: Okay.
• 2:12:05
  SPEAKER_14: I've never had olives in the same thing.
• 2:12:06
  SPEAKER_08: I don't think there's a mesh.
• 2:12:07
  SPEAKER_08: I don't think that's a fusion.
• 2:12:08
  SPEAKER_08: Maybe it's a regional.
• 2:12:09
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe it's a regional thing.
• 2:12:10
  SPEAKER_06: It's a tax mix.
• 2:12:12
  SPEAKER_15: That was Eric, I believe.
• 2:12:13
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you for that, though.
• 2:12:14
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go uh let's go here.
• 2:12:16
  SPEAKER_57: Yeah, good morning, John.
• 2:12:17
  SPEAKER_57: I just had an idea for next year's state fair.
• 2:12:20
  SPEAKER_57: What about uh banana and rice tamale on a stick?
• 2:12:26
  SPEAKER_57: Oh.
• 2:12:26
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that goes off.
• 2:12:28
  SPEAKER_15: That sounds like diarrhea.
• 2:12:29
  SPEAKER_15: You would need to get to that story hopefully before the end of the show today.
• 2:12:33
  SPEAKER_07: Um John dropped that story earlier in the show with no explanation.
• 2:12:39
  SPEAKER_07: Did anyone notice that?
• 2:12:42
  SPEAKER_10: If you didn't hear about it, you were probably like What is going on?
• 2:12:46
  SPEAKER_10: It was like in the middle of a totally different topic.
• 2:12:48
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 2:12:49
  SPEAKER_15: It happens, especially on a Freedom Friday.
• 2:12:51
  SPEAKER_15: I get confused, kind of like this woman.
• 2:12:53
  SPEAKER_23: So I'm Somali.
• 2:12:55
  SPEAKER_23: Um I'm proud to be Somali.
• 2:12:57
  SPEAKER_23: Um to me, being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice.
• 2:13:02
  SPEAKER_23: It's uh it's a lie.
• 2:13:03
  SPEAKER_23: It's like um it's uh it's uh it's an interesting thing.
• 2:13:08
  SPEAKER_23: It's uh it's very hard to describe what it means to be Somali and what it means to be American, but it's like a cultural uh fusion.
• 2:13:17
  SPEAKER_23: It's kind of like the bananas and rice.
• 2:13:20
  SPEAKER_23: You know, people don't really see like, you know, it's a it's a it's you know, people don't think, oh, you can eat bananas with rice, but that's what it's like to be Somali and American.
• 2:13:32
  SPEAKER_23: It's like that combination of banana and rice, but you you're gonna get what I mean.
• 2:13:38
  SPEAKER_15: No, we're not gonna get what you mean.
• 2:13:40
  SPEAKER_15: We're not gonna it's not gonna happen.
• 2:13:42
  SPEAKER_15: Uh she was later arrested after obstructing us, though.
• 2:13:45
  SPEAKER_15: She was want to point that and point that out.
• 2:13:47
  SPEAKER_15: So, okay.
• 2:13:48
  SPEAKER_15: We're gonna get back to the subject at hand here in just a moment.
• 2:13:51
  SPEAKER_15: Here on the John Justice uh show.
• 2:13:54
  SPEAKER_15: Somali leaders cite American upbringing, gun violence, and being overworked amid the gang shootings.
• 2:14:02
  SPEAKER_15: And we'll get the thoughts of producer Isaac.
• 2:14:04
  SPEAKER_15: Our Freedom Friday accrued this morning, Jill, Catherine, uh, AK, and uh Max, and of course you on the blaster line.
• 2:14:10
  SPEAKER_15: Uh 651-964-0294.
• 2:14:13
  SPEAKER_15: That's 651-964-0294.
• 2:14:16
  SPEAKER_15: Selling your home is more than just putting a sign in the yard.
• 2:14:19
  SPEAKER_15: It's about making the right decisions before that sign ever goes up.
• 2:14:22
  SPEAKER_15: And that's the advisor advantage you get from Hallway North real estate advisors.
• 2:14:27
  SPEAKER_15: When you talk to them about selling your home, instead of simply telling you what your home is worth and putting it on the market, Hallway North Real Estate Advisors help you maximize the value before it's listed.
• 2:14:39
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe there's a new remodeling project that makes sense or one that doesn't.
• 2:14:44

  SPEAKER_15: Glad you're with us on a Freedom Friday.
• 2:20:03
  SPEAKER_15: We have got a full house as we work through uh the news of the day from a Center of the American Experiment.
• 2:20:09
  SPEAKER_15: Very pleased to have Catherine and Jill sitting in the comfy chairs here in the American Experiment Studio.
• 2:20:14
  SPEAKER_15: And of course, AK Kamara and Maxa as well as we run through right now talking about the major issues following uh what's been taking place regarding the Somali uh gang violence that's been happening, uh, along with the uh ISIS wannabe terrorist who, while he was an American citizen, wanted to call Somalia home.
• 2:20:34
  SPEAKER_15: Uh the big news from yesterday is police say they have made an arrest after two people were hurt in the shooting outside the Eden Prairie homecoming football game.
• 2:20:41
  SPEAKER_15: Eden Prairie police say an 18-year-old was arrested Thursday afternoon without incident and is being held in the Hennepin County jail on probable cause for second degree assault.
• 2:20:52
  SPEAKER_15: Police believe the shooting was gang related and did not involve students from either high schools who were playing football.
• 2:20:58
  SPEAKER_15: And I think that's a detail that we hadn't heard regarding what had taken place last uh last Friday.
• 2:21:04
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, the arrest is an important uh step in this investigation, said the police chief Matt Sackett in a news release.
• 2:21:10
  SPEAKER_15: I'm incredibly proud of our officers and investigators who have worked nonstop alongside our law enforcement partners to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.
• 2:21:18
  SPEAKER_15: The arrest comes almost a week after two people were shot in the parking lot of the football game at Eden Prairie High School.
• 2:21:24
  SPEAKER_15: The incident resulted in the game being postponed and the stadium and school being evacuated.
• 2:21:29
  SPEAKER_15: Of course, this comes um on the heels of a sh of the shootout that took place on 100 uh last week.
• 2:21:36
  SPEAKER_15: We had uh these some 100 rounds dispensed in Bloomington uh recently.
• 2:21:40
  SPEAKER_15: Of course, we had Monday, the shooting that took place at the gas station over in Eden Prairie, uh, that caused a lot of uh frustration for individuals who also work here as well.
• 2:21:50
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, including my softball game.
• 2:21:51
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, this was uh Isaac was the individual who I was mentioning all week long that I woke up to the, I don't know, it was like 25 text messages or something like that to find out what had uh what had taken place.
• 2:22:02
  SPEAKER_15: Can you talk a little bit about that for just a moment?
• 2:22:03
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it was kind of crazy.
• 2:22:04
  SPEAKER_16: I was just out there playing softball.
• 2:22:05
  SPEAKER_16: I was on first base and just right there on Round Lake, so you know, not too far down the road from the gas station.
• 2:22:12
  SPEAKER_16: And all of a sudden we hear a little, you know, uh maybe half dozen gunshots, and we all just kind of freeze and wonder what's going on, you know.
• 2:22:19
  SPEAKER_16: It's kind of I mean it's Monday in Eden Prairie, you don't think gunshots right away.
• 2:22:22
  SPEAKER_46: Right.
• 2:22:23
  SPEAKER_16: Then all of a sudden the second burst kind of goes off, and we're someone starts yelling from the benches like that's gunshots.
• 2:22:29
  SPEAKER_16: Like, let's go, let's get out of here.
• 2:22:30
  SPEAKER_16: So we all just kind of sprint our cars, hang low for a while.
• 2:22:34
  SPEAKER_16: Um yeah, just kind of wait it out until we see a bunch of cop cars heading down that direction.
• 2:22:38
  SPEAKER_16: I thought it was in the neighborhood behind us at first, which was scary because there's like a path that goes from the neighborhood to the fields.
• 2:22:44
  SPEAKER_16: So I was like, oh shoot, like if they're trying to run away from the cops, they might run here.
• 2:22:48
  SPEAKER_16: Turns out it was at the gas station.
• 2:22:49
  SPEAKER_16: So crazy.
• 2:22:50
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
• 2:22:51
  SPEAKER_16: Let's go.
• 2:22:52
  SPEAKER_16: We didn't even get to resume our softball game.
• 2:22:54
  SPEAKER_15: Oh man, that sucks.
• 2:22:56
  SPEAKER_15: Let's go here just briefly, and we'll get the thoughts from the uh Freedom Friday group this morning.
• 2:22:59
  SPEAKER_28: I hear that the Somali gangs were not from the school.
• 2:23:04
  SPEAKER_28: That just tells me that they're going to public events, major public events, and it's just gonna happen more at public events.
• 2:23:13
  SPEAKER_28: All right, bye.
• 2:23:14
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and I've kind of buried the other big story today, and we'll talk about this as well.
• 2:23:18
  SPEAKER_15: President Donald Trump um being very vocal on truth social.
• 2:23:22
  SPEAKER_15: I'll read to you the entirety of the statement here in just a moment, but I want to throw it over to uh the Freedom Friday uh guests this morning to share their initial thoughts.
• 2:23:30
  SPEAKER_15: And let me just set, let me sort of set the stage here.
• 2:23:33
  SPEAKER_15: Um while there were specifics about what had been taking place, it wasn't really until earlier this week when I was talking with uh David Zimmer and then combining his commentary with what we were hearing from the Bloomington police chief Booker Hodges, where I began to sort of realize the larger picture of what was transpiring here.
• 2:23:52
  SPEAKER_15: These things were being told, but they were all sort of segmented.
• 2:23:55
  SPEAKER_15: This Somali gang problem that we have right now, I just want to reiterate, this is a very unique gangbanger situation that we're not used to seeing.
• 2:24:05
  SPEAKER_15: These are not, as the Bloomington police chief said, and some what I had grown up with, you know, in Southern California where I was born and raised, you know, at the time of the film's Colors and Menace to Society and the Crips in the Bloods, these are not gangbangers that are out there selling drugs and making money.
• 2:24:22
  SPEAKER_15: There's a similarity when it comes to the wanting to be a part of a group of individuals.
• 2:24:28
  SPEAKER_15: There was a status, certainly, element to those former gangs, but these are individuals that are having these online beefs with each other over incredibly superficial things.
• 2:24:38
  SPEAKER_15: It doesn't make it any better than selling drugs, but they are.
• 2:24:41
  SPEAKER_15: They're having these online beefs over superficial things, and we basically are living through the middle of this gang warfare that's taking place right now.
• 2:24:50
  SPEAKER_15: And that was a part and sort of a narrative of this I didn't really quite understand until the middle of this week, which also raises a lot of questions of how do we go and combat it if this is the type of gangster that we're dealing with, especially considering that these individuals have not broken the law to the point where they still have access to go and purchase firearms.
• 2:25:11
  SPEAKER_15: And so with that, I want to just kind of get you know instinctive reactions to what's going on, and we'll hand it over to our Freedom Friday uh guest this morning.
• 2:25:18
  SPEAKER_15: And Catherine, your uh your thoughts on this.
• 2:25:20
  SPEAKER_06: Well, one of the first things we knew about these people before we knew who the um suspects were, they said that they were known to police.
• 2:25:27
  SPEAKER_06: And I think this is just another example of times where people like Mary Moriarty, who is the you know, law enforcement official for Eden Prairie, even.
• 2:25:37
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, she's she's in they're in Hannepin County over there, and she's not going after people because they are under the age of 25 and their brains aren't developed or whatever.
• 2:25:45
  SPEAKER_06: Um, and you hear about the police chief in Bloomington talk about this, I think, really well, about how that doesn't mean you can't have consequences.
• 2:25:52
  SPEAKER_06: Um you hear that they're known to police, and then it ends in a really horrible, tragic situation.
• 2:25:59
  SPEAKER_06: Well, why were they known?
• 2:26:00
  SPEAKER_06: What happened to this point and why were they not stopped?
• 2:26:03
  SPEAKER_06: I think that's the element that really um haunts me is why are we not being more proactive about stopping crime in our communities when we know who these people are and we know them as troublemakers?
• 2:26:14
  SPEAKER_06: It does seem like, yeah, they're they're they're different from the traditional kind of gangs, maybe they're not as organized or whatever.
• 2:26:21
  SPEAKER_06: But um, I don't care.
• 2:26:22
  SPEAKER_06: Treat them as individuals and uh we need to crack down on it.
• 2:26:25
  SPEAKER_06: We need to have reasons to go after people who are going to cause this level of chaos in our communities.
• 2:26:30
  SPEAKER_15: Uh Jill?
• 2:26:32
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, what she said.
• 2:26:34
  SPEAKER_10: No, I I think the police are up against a brick wall.
• 2:26:39
  SPEAKER_10: Like they're they're going after these people.
• 2:26:42
  SPEAKER_10: They know who they are.
• 2:26:43
  SPEAKER_10: They're just getting released back on the street because we have no one that will actually prosecute them.
• 2:26:50
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, this is this all comes back to political leadership and actually political will.
• 2:26:56
  SPEAKER_08: It's not really hard to understand that, like many things in our society, we have like a Hollywood version, and you know, thankfully, those that have never lived through it, and then there's the reality that exists.
• 2:27:08
  SPEAKER_08: When you look at the Somali gang phenomena, it's very, very simple to diagnose.
• 2:27:14
  SPEAKER_08: You have a large influx of people that come into this country, and then they have children.
• 2:27:18
  SPEAKER_08: And those children, historically, if you look back through human history, they have this like identity problem where they're born in America, and because they were not really forced to assimilate their parents, they are not accepted by the Somali community in in at large because they continue to keep all of these cultural references back to their home, but they're not yet accepted into American society because they have like this weird quasi-thing.
• 2:27:44
  SPEAKER_08: And this happens all the time.
• 2:27:46
  SPEAKER_08: So you have all these young men that are growing up in middle income families, and they feel that they are against the world.
• 2:27:53
  SPEAKER_08: And so what happens when you have young men that don't have order is that they will seek their own sense of order, and then you just start having different groups pop up.
• 2:28:02
  SPEAKER_08: It's like warlord phenomena.
• 2:28:04
  SPEAKER_08: So that's the best way to describe it is that they're not, you know, in a traditional sense, organizing to sell drugs.
• 2:28:11
  SPEAKER_08: That part comes later, quite literally, uh, because as you need to gather resources for your group, unless the political will comes in.
• 2:28:19
  SPEAKER_08: What does political will look like?
• 2:28:21
  SPEAKER_08: It allows law enforcement to specifically target the people that are part of these gangs.
• 2:28:26
  SPEAKER_08: And that's going to look like you are targeting a specific group because you are, not because of their race or identity or culture, it's because they've associated with a set of values that is leading to violence and disrupting the rest of order.
• 2:28:41
  SPEAKER_08: So that's what it comes down to.
• 2:28:43
  SPEAKER_08: And I can tell you that there are 100% Democrats, if they are in power, they will never have the political will to actually crack down.
• 2:28:50
  SPEAKER_08: They'll talk about it.
• 2:28:51
  SPEAKER_08: But that's why to me this election really comes down to who is talking about the political will.
• 2:28:57
  SPEAKER_08: And I think it's very clear to see what that's going to look like.
• 2:29:00
  SPEAKER_08: But if you don't crack down, the Somali gang problem that exists now will only get worse.
• 2:29:06
  SPEAKER_08: And you can cut that, clip that, play that if you don't crack down on it right now.
• 2:29:11
  SPEAKER_08: And that means kicking down doors and arresting people and using the existing laws that we have right now on organized criminal activities and actually enforcing that law.
• 2:29:20
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, it was interesting to listen to Booker Hodges kind of outline who the profile of this, the these sorry, who these gang members are, where AK had mentioned, well, the drugs come later, the financial motive comes later.
• 2:29:35
  SPEAKER_14: What Booker Hodges had said, I think in that same press conference, though, was that these are kids who are driving beamers and who come from two-parent households and who live in apartments that are thirty, five hundred dollars a month.
• 2:29:46
  SPEAKER_14: I think that speaks to the fraud issue quite a bit as well.
• 2:29:50
  SPEAKER_14: But I'm not sure that that drug motive or that financial motive, unless that gravy train ends of government fraud, that that is going to become a motivation.
• 2:29:59
  SPEAKER_14: This is very tribal in nature.
• 2:30:02
  SPEAKER_14: And one thing I wanted to highlight, Bill Glon at the American Experiment always talks about the blast radius, the blast radius of when we allow crime in the metro, how that inevitably climbs to other places of our state.
• 2:30:14
  SPEAKER_14: Well, just two days ago, two or three days ago, it came out that tech high school in St.
• 2:30:20
  SPEAKER_14: Cloud basically had threats of gang violence and a potential huge scale fight outside of one of their football games.
• 2:30:28
  SPEAKER_14: Well, what is tech high school doing?
• 2:30:30
  SPEAKER_14: There they have talked about moving uh out of St.
• 2:30:33
  SPEAKER_14: Cloud to play their football games, but inevitably they are going to change all of their sporting events to starting no later than 4 30 p.m.
• 2:30:41
  SPEAKER_14: And you have to go through a basically a TSA checkpoint in order to get to all of their games.
• 2:30:46
  SPEAKER_14: This is impacting everyday life for not only our parents and the people in the community, but the students.
• 2:30:54
  SPEAKER_14: And I would have thought that we would have learned from COVID that you can't fundamentally alter the life of students and not have it impact them forever.
• 2:31:04
  SPEAKER_14: And that's what crime is doing, organized crime is doing right now in the Twin Cities and beyond.
• 2:31:10
  SPEAKER_14: It's even happening in St.
• 2:31:11
  SPEAKER_14: Cloud.
• 2:31:13
  SPEAKER_29: Hey John, all the Somalian crime and all the problems in Henderson County and this state.
• 2:31:18
  SPEAKER_29: I mean, it it all comes down to how we vote, and obviously it's not bad enough, just like New York before Giuliani took over.
• 2:31:25
  SPEAKER_29: They had to have record record setting murders.
• 2:31:30
  SPEAKER_29: So obviously it's not bad enough here.
• 2:31:32
  SPEAKER_29: The people in this state are not gonna change how they vote until it gets worse.
• 2:31:36
  SPEAKER_14: Well, and this is something that how much worse can it get?
• 2:31:38
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 2:31:39
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, it can get a lot worse.
• 2:31:40
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and this is something that I wanted to to uh touch upon.
• 2:31:44
  SPEAKER_15: I was thinking about this in the drive-in this morning.
• 2:31:47
  SPEAKER_15: Whether we, I mean, uh none of us wanted it to be this way, but we can be another one of those stories that we see in the past of an area ravaged by crime, a region or you know, a state ravaged by crime where we do turn things around.
• 2:32:04
  SPEAKER_15: You know, you think about what happened in the past regarding Detroit.
• 2:32:08
  SPEAKER_15: Probably one of the most famous ones would be Times Square in New York City.
• 2:32:11
  SPEAKER_15: You go back and watch those 80s films and just the debauchery that used to take place.
• 2:32:16
  SPEAKER_15: And trust me, the Minneapolis City Council is doing everything they can to replicate that same debauchery on the streets of Minneapolis.
• 2:32:22
  SPEAKER_15: And Minneapolis is a little bit of a different beast when you consider the elections and ranked choice voting and how difficult it is to get individuals who are going to make the right decisions.
• 2:32:31
  SPEAKER_15: That being said, there is an example next door in St.
• 2:32:34
  SPEAKER_15: Paul.
• 2:32:34
  SPEAKER_15: St.
• 2:32:35
  SPEAKER_15: Paul is the example of what happens when even you have Democrats running the show, besides, you know, horny her, who are actually focused on crime, have a robust police force because they don't have the same sort of petty crimes that they're dealing with over in Minneapolis.
• 2:32:52
  SPEAKER_15: But Minnesota can be one of those turnaround stories like what we've seen in the past.
• 2:32:56
  SPEAKER_15: Now the question is, are we going to be that?
• 2:32:58
  SPEAKER_15: Um, what's taking place right now is not in the best interest of Democrats at the moment.
• 2:33:03
  SPEAKER_15: This is only going to continue to hurt them in the coming weeks when we are officially at Election Day.
• 2:33:09
  SPEAKER_15: I don't know which way all this is going to go, but I certainly hope that when we are a year away from where we are right now, that we're having a different conversation that's more in line with the great turnarounds that we've seen of areas that have been ravaged by by crime in the past.
• 2:33:24
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and if you actually look at what President Trump had truthed out last night, I mean, listen, if you look across the country, if you look across the country where federal resources were deployed into high crime areas, the crime dropped.
• 2:33:39
  SPEAKER_08: And it's because it's part of cops that are local, they actually want to stop the crime because most of them live and interact in the community.
• 2:33:48
  SPEAKER_08: It's just you have a judicial system in Minnesota that will not prosecute the crime.
• 2:33:54
  SPEAKER_08: And so sometimes it's like, well, if the feds come in, they'll start taking over all these cases.
• 2:33:58
  SPEAKER_08: And as we've actually seen.
• 2:34:00
  SPEAKER_08: With our U.S.
• 2:34:01
  SPEAKER_08: attorney, who's doing an amazing job along with FBI and the rest of the DOJ, that's what ultimately you may have to do.
• 2:34:10
  SPEAKER_08: And again, it just comes down to do you have the political will to actually move forward to take care of it?
• 2:34:16
  SPEAKER_08: Because if you don't do it now, my fear is you will start to see vigilantes, true vigilantes, that are like, we're not going to allow this to happen in our communities.
• 2:34:26
  SPEAKER_06: You saw that you saw that already in England, by the way.
• 2:34:29
  SPEAKER_06: I think that's a good thing.
• 2:34:30
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, I'm just seeing it all over.
• 2:34:39
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to step on you.
• 2:34:41
  SPEAKER_15: What happened to that No Mark superhero guy that was Did you guys see him online?
• 2:34:46
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:34:47
  SPEAKER_15: Where'd he go?
• 2:34:48
  SPEAKER_15: Like it's a dude, you're supposed to even No Mark is for those that aren't aware, there's a guy out there, he calls himself No Mark, and he claims to be like the Twin Cities' own real superhero.
• 2:34:58
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 2:34:58
  SPEAKER_15: Um, and he's got a whole get up that's kind of just fashioned from you know a military surplus store.
• 2:35:04
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, but uh where'd he go?
• 2:35:06
  SPEAKER_06: He's dropping the ball a bit.
• 2:35:07
  SPEAKER_06: I know, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit disappointed.
• 2:35:09
  SPEAKER_14: Wasn't he just like a TikTok influencer?
• 2:35:11
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:35:12
  SPEAKER_14: And he was like chasing the Minneapolis pisser who was uh Yeah, that was one of the movies criminal that just real crimes.
• 2:35:19
  SPEAKER_15: And it was funny too because uh I don't think it was me, I think it was Melinda.
• 2:35:24
  SPEAKER_15: She probably doesn't even remember this.
• 2:35:25
  SPEAKER_15: But she was scrolling through her timeline on Instagram, and then suddenly I heard my voice.
• 2:35:34
  SPEAKER_15: And it was No Mark, he had a video, but the intro he had grabbed from my talking about him on the show.
• 2:35:43
  SPEAKER_15: So it was like me going, and there's this guy out there, his name is No Mark, and he's a superhero, and he ended up taking it and using it in his intro.
• 2:35:49
  SPEAKER_15: And I John Just Deception.
• 2:35:51
  SPEAKER_15: It's like I was mildly flattered.
• 2:35:54
  SPEAKER_15: Suddenly I felt like you know, all the versions of the journalists in the uh in the Batman and and uh in Spider-Man films.
• 2:36:00
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, here's what uh Donald Trump posted on True Social last night, and then I'll give you what uh um uh Minnesota Governor Dim Walls had to say regarding this.
• 2:36:08
  SPEAKER_15: Trump wrote on True Social the once great state of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali immigrants.
• 2:36:13
  SPEAKER_15: There is violence, murder, and mayhem all over the state.
• 2:36:15
  SPEAKER_15: And the people of Minnesota must fight back.
• 2:36:18
  SPEAKER_15: We have been robbed.
• 2:36:19
  SPEAKER_15: Excuse me, you have been robbed and abandoned by your state government.
• 2:36:21
  SPEAKER_15: Your governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved.
• 2:36:25
  SPEAKER_15: He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal and then lead a quiet life.
• 2:36:30
  SPEAKER_15: The Somalians should not have been allowed to get away with what they're doing.
• 2:36:34
  SPEAKER_15: They view you as weak and stupid people, said Trump.
• 2:36:37
  SPEAKER_15: Fight back, Minnesota, fight back, exclamation point.
• 2:36:40
  SPEAKER_15: If you need, the federal government will come to your rescue.
• 2:36:43
  SPEAKER_15: Governor Tim Walls, mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, must immediately ask for federal help and leave the rest to us.
• 2:36:50
  SPEAKER_15: President Donald J.
• 2:36:51
  SPEAKER_15: Trump.
• 2:36:52
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, Governor Tim Walls responded in saying the president's deranged social media posts, he's one to talk, can't distract from the fact that he's losing a war and driving up costs.
• 2:37:03
  SPEAKER_15: He's lashing out at blue states because he can't land a punch on America's actual enemies.
• 2:37:10
  SPEAKER_15: And you guys can share your thoughts.
• 2:37:12
  SPEAKER_15: I'll just share mine briefly on this.
• 2:37:14
  SPEAKER_15: That is the mark of an individual who truly is not a leader.
• 2:37:18
  SPEAKER_15: You can do two things.
• 2:37:19
  SPEAKER_15: You can call out and not like what President Donald Trump said.
• 2:37:22
  SPEAKER_15: I would expect nothing less from Governor Dim Walls.
• 2:37:25
  SPEAKER_15: That being said, though, don't just brush over and ignore what is taking place right now.
• 2:37:30
  SPEAKER_15: Stand up, be a leader, call out what's happening, and what you want to do to fix it.
• 2:37:34
  SPEAKER_15: You moron, for crying out loud.
• 2:37:37
  SPEAKER_15: What are you gonna do to help solve the problem?
• 2:37:38
  SPEAKER_15: What is Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is doing?
• 2:37:41
  SPEAKER_15: He just blazes right past it, wants to bring up the war, wants to talk about the cost of stuff.
• 2:37:45
  SPEAKER_15: Yes, we know we're involved in a war with Iran.
• 2:37:48
  SPEAKER_15: Yes, we know that it's driving up the affordability and the gas prices.
• 2:37:51
  SPEAKER_15: We get it.
• 2:37:52
  SPEAKER_15: But we have a real problem taking place on the streets right now here in Minneapolis that we're all getting national news coverage over, and yet he doesn't even want to mention that.
• 2:38:01
  SPEAKER_15: Sorry if I took the wind out of anybody's sales.
• 2:38:04
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I I I look I completely agree with Trump, but I think if you were Governor Walls, you were anyone else in a position of leadership, you would see what the chief in Bloomington, um, Booker Hodges, is doing and maybe emulate that because he's being honest and truthful about what's going on without perpetuating any kind of narrative that you hear on the political side of things.
• 2:38:24
  SPEAKER_06: Like he's really just putting out so much good information that is helping inform the public about what is really going on.
• 2:38:31
  SPEAKER_06: And when you have that lack of information, when you have Mary Moretti who won't say anything, Tim Walls who won't say anything, all of these people who are too afraid to say anything because of politics, you have runaway narratives and runaway um assumptions that don't help anyone.
• 2:38:45
  SPEAKER_06: And so we have very few people in the state who are willing to talk about what's actually going on and the truth.
• 2:38:50
  SPEAKER_06: What are they seeing on the ground?
• 2:38:52
  SPEAKER_06: He's one of them, and I seriously commend him for it.
• 2:38:54
  SPEAKER_06: I think it's great leadership because it helps inform the people of what the truth of what's going on really is.
• 2:39:00
  SPEAKER_06: And if you cared about people being formed and not being, you know, running away with narratives you might think are wrong, that's what you would do as a leader.
• 2:39:07
  SPEAKER_06: These they're obviously they're not good leaders.
• 2:39:08
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and I would actually take it a step further that not only is it weak leadership, and that's what Tim Wall is like, he exemplifies that.
• 2:39:17
  SPEAKER_08: I actually believe that there's an ideological narrative and drive that goes into a lot of this calculation as well.
• 2:39:23
  SPEAKER_08: Like they actually want the chaos, they want the tyranny, because they believe that they can reform these systems of justice.
• 2:39:30
  SPEAKER_08: The fact that you have leadership that are making these decisions, yes, political calculation goes into it.
• 2:39:37
  SPEAKER_08: And at the end of the day, Tim Walls is a political creature, but Tim Walls also is an ideological creature.
• 2:39:43
  SPEAKER_08: And I think that once you actually peel back the layers, you understand that this is intentional.
• 2:39:49
  SPEAKER_08: They are allowing this system of chaos and allowing people to walk free because they actually want to overhaul the entire system to make it reflect what they view, which is that white supremacy and Christian nationalism and all of these things are what has made this country bad.
• 2:40:06
  SPEAKER_08: And the way to fix that is to actually just break the entire system.
• 2:40:10
  SPEAKER_08: To me, that's what this boils down to.
• 2:40:12
  SPEAKER_08: It's truly intentional.
• 2:40:25
  SPEAKER_14: It also speaks to the gaslighting of the DFL, like that is their modus modus operandi, that that is what they're used to.
• 2:40:34
  SPEAKER_14: Because I think it's insulting to voters, I think it's insulting to Minnesotans to say that all of our problems in Minnesota are because of Donald Trump.
• 2:40:43
  SPEAKER_14: That is objectively not true.
• 2:40:46
  SPEAKER_14: All of our problems are Minnesota in Minnesota are self-created problems because we have had one party in control for 20 years and they have just done a total botch job on this state.
• 2:40:57
  SPEAKER_14: For Tim Walls, Peggy Flanagan, Amy Klobishar, whoever else, Keith Ellison, to sit here and say that Minnesota is struggling and Minnesota has these gang problems and these fraud problems and a deficit that we're running.
• 2:41:12
  SPEAKER_14: And your property taxes increasing are all because of Donald Trump, is they don't even believe that.
• 2:41:19
  SPEAKER_14: They don't.
• 2:41:19
  SPEAKER_14: In their heart of hearts, they know that that is not true.
• 2:41:22
  SPEAKER_14: It is a convenient excuse to talk about the war in Iran driving up costs, the number one thing state government could do to lower costs, to do anything about crime, to solve some of our problems, is literally stuff that we can control.
• 2:41:36
  SPEAKER_14: And Tim Walls, he is the lamest lame duck I have ever seen.
• 2:41:40
  SPEAKER_14: That latter half of Trump's truth social post is absolutely true.
• 2:41:45
  SPEAKER_14: Where is that guy?
• 2:41:46
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, who is he?
• 2:41:47
  SPEAKER_14: What is he doing?
• 2:41:48
  SPEAKER_14: What role does he play?
• 2:41:50
  SPEAKER_14: You have pictures of him running a marathon and maybe sweating in his crotch, maybe peeing his hands.
• 2:41:59
  SPEAKER_15: Where is he?
• 2:41:59
  SPEAKER_15: What is he doing?
• 2:42:01
  SPEAKER_15: Being his pants, man.
• 2:42:02
  SPEAKER_15: That's what he's that's what he's asking.
• 2:42:03
  SPEAKER_15: I should have, I should have grabbed it.
• 2:42:04
  SPEAKER_15: I didn't.
• 2:42:05
  SPEAKER_15: Maybe I shouldn't have.
• 2:42:06
  SPEAKER_15: There's a there's a picture of of of Dim and Hope standing there after running this marathon, and his his he's completely soiled himself.
• 2:42:16
  SPEAKER_15: That's what he's done.
• 2:42:17
  SPEAKER_15: I was like, dude, what is going on?
• 2:42:18
  SPEAKER_15: At a bare minimum, take the camera and put dude, just do a shoulder headshot.
• 2:42:23
  SPEAKER_14: I'm assuming he was just sweating.
• 2:42:24
  SPEAKER_14: Go put it in chat GPT and say, make it look like I didn't just pee my pants.
• 2:42:29
  SPEAKER_14: Seriously.
• 2:42:29
  SPEAKER_14: That's what everyone else does.
• 2:42:31
  SPEAKER_14: But my my brother Is that what you do when you pee your pants?
• 2:42:35
  SPEAKER_14: Gotta get some editing done.
• 2:42:38
  SPEAKER_14: But he is nowhere to be found.
• 2:42:40
  SPEAKER_14: That is my broader point.
• 2:42:41
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, he's asking.
• 2:42:41
  SPEAKER_14: Where is this guy?
• 2:42:42
  SPEAKER_15: No, Dems don't care.
• 2:42:43
  SPEAKER_15: Dems don't care.
• 2:42:44
  SPEAKER_15: They don't care about anything that they say they care about.
• 2:42:46
  SPEAKER_15: They don't.
• 2:42:47
  SPEAKER_15: It's it's just a matter of how is it going to affect them when it comes to the elections.
• 2:42:51
  SPEAKER_15: That's it.
• 2:42:51
  SPEAKER_15: I want to get to this uh comment here.
• 2:42:53
  SPEAKER_44: The idiocy of Jim Wall is on display every single time he opens his mouth.
• 2:42:57
  SPEAKER_44: He continues to bash Trump because of spending$80 billion in Iran.
• 2:43:04
  SPEAKER_44: But he won't see a game thing when Joe Biden was spending$168 billion in Ukraine for things like war.
• 2:43:13
  SPEAKER_44: And how beneficial has it been to Ukraine to still fight in the war.
• 2:43:20
  SPEAKER_15: So there were several community leaders who held a press conference to address the recent gang-related shootings involving Somali youth.
• 2:43:26
  SPEAKER_15: And I have been saying all week in light of this that we need this, you know, this you can't ign you can't tackle this problem without talking about the fact that this at the moment is exclusively a Somali issue, right?
• 2:43:38
  SPEAKER_15: The community needs to step up.
• 2:43:40
  SPEAKER_15: That's not to go and cast condemnation on the entirety of the Somali community.
• 2:43:44
  SPEAKER_15: I've been saying this all week long, right?
• 2:43:45
  SPEAKER_15: If you are here, you're assimilating.
• 2:43:48
  SPEAKER_15: If you are going and being an upstanding citizen, paying your taxes, not breaking the law, and again, respecting what this country was founded upon.
• 2:43:55
  SPEAKER_15: We're not talking about you.
• 2:43:56
  SPEAKER_15: We're talking about the individuals out there that are part of the criminal element that are out here also going and defrauding everybody.
• 2:44:02
  SPEAKER_15: So I've been mentioning how I want to hear more from the Somali community.
• 2:44:05
  SPEAKER_15: Well, this is another moment where, you know, eh, my bad.
• 2:44:08
  SPEAKER_15: Be careful what you wish for.
• 2:44:10
  SPEAKER_15: Minnesota teacher says, uh, Somalis work too hard, and that's why the youth commit the gang.
• 2:44:17
  SPEAKER_01: America reality, and we're so much expecting from us.
• 2:44:20
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes I feel in our community we had too much.
• 2:44:24
  SPEAKER_01: We had we worked very hard, and we really did not give enough attention to our kids.
• 2:44:29
  SPEAKER_01: I do believe that because we always tell, well, we have to work hard, we have to be, and our kids really maybe somehow, somewhere, they have really, you know, they they just so I just wanted to say that.
• 2:44:44
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you all, and I really wanted to thank everyone who really see us as a you know contribute contributing member of the community.
• 2:44:54
  SPEAKER_15: Now you heard a little bit of a stopgap in the audio, okay?
• 2:44:57
  SPEAKER_15: This was a this is a circumstance that has happened a few times now.
• 2:45:00
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
• 2:45:01
  SPEAKER_15: You have individuals coming out from the community to speak on these issues, but nobody has been able to prep them ahead of time.
• 2:45:07
  SPEAKER_15: So you end up getting this level of honesty you don't typically get.
• 2:45:10
  SPEAKER_15: Because this is the mentality of what a lot of people feel like, right?
• 2:45:13
  SPEAKER_15: They want to deflect, they want to blame.
• 2:45:15
  SPEAKER_15: You know, first off, Crimea River, everybody's working hard, everybody's busy right now, everybody's trying to raise their kids.
• 2:45:20
  SPEAKER_15: It's not an excuse.
• 2:45:22
  SPEAKER_15: But you get the real insight into what the community is thinking when they go off script like this.
• 2:45:26
  SPEAKER_15: You had the bananas and rice girl, right, who ended up getting arrested later on, but you also had the more pointed one of the woman during Operation Metro Surge when the fraud was dominating the headlines, who had stood behind the microphone and went, the fraud is real, the fraud is real.
• 2:45:42
  SPEAKER_15: You could just see all the panic looked on the faces of everybody around him before they went and told her to go and, you know, hey, you need to stop off with all that fraud talking.
• 2:45:49
  SPEAKER_15: Until they couldn't ignore it anymore, right?
• 2:45:51
  SPEAKER_15: Until it couldn't be ignored anymore.
• 2:45:53
  SPEAKER_15: I have another clip.
• 2:45:54
  SPEAKER_15: Does anybody have thoughts on what the uh what the woman had to say?
• 2:45:57
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I mean, listen, when you actually try and get an honest take from people in the Somali community, and this is what's to me is so frustrating, is that again it comes back down to leadership.
• 2:46:07
  SPEAKER_08: I've met a ton of Somalis that acknowledge that there is a problem with the youth, and what it actually requires is to allow cops to do their job and to actually enforce the law and to crack down.
• 2:46:18
  SPEAKER_08: And there there was this window, but this is what happens when everything gets politicized, right before um essentially you had this huge surge for ICE operations, in which there was this, you know, growing percentage and number uh in the Minneapolis mayoral race that were saying, Yeah, I think that we are supportive of President Trump.
• 2:46:38
  SPEAKER_08: And then it just became overtly political, where DFLers came in and they said, Well, since they're going after people that are here without legal permission, that means they're targeting you.
• 2:46:48
  SPEAKER_08: And then it kind of all fell apart.
• 2:46:49
  SPEAKER_08: So when I when I hear a woman say that, you know, we're working hard, I think that if you were to scratch a little bit further, it's like, and we need help in this these communities to actually enforce the law.
• 2:47:01
  SPEAKER_08: Because at one point, if you have your kids and they're out there just you know going buck wild, you need the law to actually help enforce things.
• 2:47:12
  SPEAKER_08: Like, I guess you could just like beat the brakes off your kid or whatever, but when they're 16 or 17 and they have weapons, it becomes like they're holding you hostage in a certain sense.
• 2:47:21
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I totally agree.
• 2:47:23
  SPEAKER_10: And I'm sorry, but working hard, yeah, there are absent parents around and their kids get into trouble, but that's not an excuse to not enforce the law.
• 2:47:33
  SPEAKER_10: I totally agree with you.
• 2:47:34
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 2:47:34
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and there's and apparently there's plenty of daycare centers where they can send their kids together.
• 2:47:38
  SPEAKER_15: Not anymore.
• 2:47:39
  SPEAKER_15: Not anymore.
• 2:47:40
  unknown: Yeah, hold on.
• 2:47:42
  SPEAKER_15: This one here, um, so this is the guy who uh the organization that was out speaking at the press conference was led by this individual, Asad Al-Aweed, um, regarding Somali youth gang violence.
• 2:47:57
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, by the way, this individual who spoke, and I'm gonna play the clip here as if the clip isn't controversial enough, he is currently, and I uh uh this is according to Lou Raguse from Kerala, he's currently paying back$1.1 million to Minnesota's Department of Education that was deemed in civil court to be fraudulently obtained in a pandemic meal fraud scheme.
• 2:48:16
  SPEAKER_15: So this individual who is going in providing advice to all of us on how to go to deal with the situation also had to pay back a million dollars.
• 2:48:24
  SPEAKER_00: We recognize that Somali American youth were involved, and those responsible must be held accountable.
• 2:48:30
  SPEAKER_00: But those are also American youth, born and raised all here, educated here, and grew up in our communities.
• 2:48:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is not simply a Somali problem, it's a youth violence and gun violence problem, and we must address it together.
• 2:48:46
  SPEAKER_00: The actionists of a few should never define the entire community.
• 2:48:52
  SPEAKER_15: This is where you uh insert the uh the anchor man meme of that doesn't make sense.
• 2:48:58
  SPEAKER_15: Um he says you can't blame the entire community.
• 2:49:00
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, fair enough.
• 2:49:02
  SPEAKER_15: But then he also says you can't singularly blame the gangbangers either, because it's a youth violence and gun problem, which is essentially the same thing.
• 2:49:11
  SPEAKER_15: You can't again, you cannot have it, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot have it both ways.
• 2:49:16
  SPEAKER_14: No, and this this is why when we talk about it's here this gentleman had made the point like it's all youth, we have problems with homegrown people and blah blah blah.
• 2:49:28
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, this is a per capita issue, right?
• 2:49:32
  SPEAKER_14: When we talk about the crime per capita in a community or the fraud per capita in a community, this is something that if you are a person who is living in the state of Somali descent, you actually need to speak the truth, which is what AK said before with some of the Somali folks he's talked to, who will acknowledge that there is a problem in their community.
• 2:49:55
  SPEAKER_14: The first step to actually correcting this is acknowledging that you have a problem in your community.
• 2:50:02
  SPEAKER_14: Anything short of that is not telling the truth.
• 2:50:05
  SPEAKER_14: Saying it's a gun violence problem or a youth violence problem that is not striking at the heart, you lose credibility whether you're a politician or a member of the community, you lose credibility when you broaden it out that much.
• 2:50:19
  SPEAKER_14: The first point to actually changing this is if you are a law-abiding Somali American citizen, is to acknowledge that again, there's a problem in our community, and I want to be part of the solution in my community because otherwise you you are going to engender in your community, you are going to engender a lot of skepticism and a lot of people who are rightfully wary of your place in the community because you are not willing to address the real problem, and that is that we have a problem in our community, and I'm going to be part of the solution.
• 2:50:54
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and the other thing is too, right?
• 2:50:56
  SPEAKER_08: We can look at this exact same issue of youth quote unquote violence that was happening just in North and South Minneapolis, like four years ago, five years ago, where there was just this rash of shootings.
• 2:51:09
  SPEAKER_08: If you remember, Minneapolis was like on track to break the homicide rate, and they would have these dishonest conversations where they would say it's gun violence, it's a youth problem, we need more teen centers, we need all this stuff.
• 2:51:24
  SPEAKER_08: And there was this pushback that was coming from the community.
• 2:51:26
  SPEAKER_08: It's like, no, we just need cops more in our communities.
• 2:51:30
  SPEAKER_08: And if you remember at that time, again, to your point, Max, if you don't accept and acknowledge that there is an issue that is happening within the community and not blame other things, these other external factors, you will never find a way out of it.
• 2:51:45
  SPEAKER_08: You will never find a way forward.
• 2:51:46
  SPEAKER_08: And the thing that was annoying about what that guy said is he was actually taking a pot shot at Americans.
• 2:51:52
  SPEAKER_08: He was like, they're not even born in Somalia.
• 2:51:55
  SPEAKER_08: They were raised here, they're educated here.
• 2:51:57
  SPEAKER_08: Like, this is an America problem.
• 2:51:59
  SPEAKER_08: This ain't a Somali problem.
• 2:52:00
  SPEAKER_08: It's like, uh, well, who are their parents?
• 2:52:03
  SPEAKER_08: Who are the community that they hang out with the majority of the time?
• 2:52:06
  SPEAKER_08: Like, if you're gonna blame any community, you need to actually blame your own community.
• 2:52:09
  SPEAKER_08: But I do agree that you have to acknowledge it first and then you can move forward.
• 2:52:13
  SPEAKER_06: Well, that's where you have to be honest too about the fact that he's right, that these are kids who are born here and raised in America, but these are families and lineages that go back uh decades now.
• 2:52:24
  SPEAKER_06: And so the problem, I think, that we're seeing is that assimilation still hasn't happened.
• 2:52:30
  SPEAKER_06: It's been decades and not a lot has changed.
• 2:52:32
  SPEAKER_06: And so to call it just an America problem is yeah, ignoring something pretty crucial here, which is that they are still a very insular community and they haven't assimilated much.
• 2:52:44
  SPEAKER_06: And maybe if we were better at that process, um, we wouldn't have as many problems.
• 2:52:49
  SPEAKER_10: I think too speaking to the assimilation issue, our education system in Minnesota specifically is teaching these kids that they are victims, Americans are horrible, we're in a terrible culture, and so the education system is perpetuating this narrative of you're the victim here.
• 2:53:07
  SPEAKER_15: Well, and if you go and look at, and I broke it all down um earlier this week, when you look at the ISIS wannabe um Mall of America terrorist, and you break down his self-radicalization and all the different issues that he dealt with, you can go and point to specific DFL beliefs, ideologies, and policies that contributed.
• 2:53:30
  SPEAKER_15: Like he made the decisions on his own, but they absolutely contributed to this individual and the decisions that he ended up making.
• 2:53:38
  SPEAKER_15: We've been a lot of requests rolling in this morning, guys.
• 2:53:40
  SPEAKER_15: We're not done with the show just yet, but since we're on it, we need to be reminded of the most important aspect of this entire controversy right now on a Freedom Friday.
• 2:56:39
  SPEAKER_15: After we did our hit on newsmates yesterday, she was like, I've only heard this song twice, and I appreciate the inclusion, but I cannot get it out of my head right now.
• 2:56:48
  SPEAKER_15: I am the beggar.
• 2:56:50
  SPEAKER_08: Did you prompt that with like Michael McDonald or something?
• 2:56:53
  SPEAKER_08: That was Kennedy.
• 2:56:55
  SPEAKER_15: That was uh that was Jerry Lewis.
• 2:56:57
  SPEAKER_15: That was yacht rock.
• 2:56:58
  SPEAKER_15: Yacht rock.
• 2:56:59
  SPEAKER_15: I did yacht rock, and then I did you hit the little the little gear thing and it expands the yacht rock and it lets you go, it gives you like all the different specificity of what the song is supposed to sound like.
• 2:57:11
  SPEAKER_15: Uh and then you can go and kind of adjust the beats per minute.
• 2:57:14
  SPEAKER_15: And it was a little too fast at first, so I slowed it down a bit.
• 2:57:17
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 2:57:17
  SPEAKER_06: There's like a trumpet or something that comes in there that is sex.
• 2:57:22
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that that's that's like Kenny G Michael McDonald.
• 2:57:26
  SPEAKER_10: I'm like, wow.
• 2:57:26
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:57:27
  SPEAKER_15: That's Taylor.
• 2:57:28
  SPEAKER_15: That's Taylor made for young.
• 2:57:29
  SPEAKER_10: Makes me want a coffee sitting by the fire.
• 2:57:31
  SPEAKER_15: Right?
• 2:57:32
  SPEAKER_15: You can't see the whole reason I did it that way, just to truth be told, is because you can't get a how do you get offended at that?
• 2:57:37
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, how'd you just say you were uh asking for you know listeners to send in a blast about genres.
• 2:57:47
  SPEAKER_08: You need to do some hip-hop.
• 2:57:49
  SPEAKER_08: I want a hip-hop song, John.
• 2:57:50
  SPEAKER_08: Well lo-fi is you can go lo-fi hip-hop.
• 2:57:54
  SPEAKER_15: So the last time I did, I Catherine, you had made a couple of suggestions.
• 2:57:57
  SPEAKER_15: As a matter of fact, um one of your suggestions turned into the rock version of Stop Cat.
• 2:58:04
  SPEAKER_15: And I can't remember.
• 2:58:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, one of the ones you I thought Olivia Rodriguez was.
• 2:58:07
  SPEAKER_06: I tried that, it didn't work.
• 2:58:09
  SPEAKER_06: Like kind of like an angsty, like, you know, driver's license type of just like sobbing over the cats.
• 2:58:15
  SPEAKER_06: That's what I had in mind with the Waymo one.
• 2:58:17
  SPEAKER_15: But then you gave me another another version.
• 2:58:19
  SPEAKER_15: Stella Lefty?
• 2:58:19
  SPEAKER_15: Yes! That's what that's she's kind of angsty as well, but a little countryer.
• 2:58:23
  SPEAKER_15: That's the rock version was based off of was based off of uh that one there.
• 2:58:27
  SPEAKER_15: It's funny too, because the Waymo song, that was a Celine Dion It's All Coming Back to Me Now prompt.
• 2:58:33
  SPEAKER_15: I don't know how that happened.
• 2:58:34
  SPEAKER_15: That's funny.
• 2:58:35
  SPEAKER_10: That's funny.
• 2:58:36
  SPEAKER_15: Uh I had this story here to sort of get ready to close things out.
• 2:58:38
  SPEAKER_15: I do have a um I do have a blast I want to I want to r end on.
• 2:58:42
  SPEAKER_15: Um but did you guys hear what happened at Albert Lee High School?
• 2:58:45
  SPEAKER_15: No.
• 2:58:46
  SPEAKER_15: Did you guys hear about this?
• 2:58:47
  SPEAKER_15: Forty-five children and adults.
• 2:58:50
  SPEAKER_15: Forty-five children and adults are facing potential charges in connection with a senior prank at Albert Lee High School, which cost apparently now more than$24,000 in damages.
• 2:59:03
  SPEAKER_15: So the police department got involved.
• 2:59:04
  SPEAKER_15: They updated earlier this week the investigation into the September 20th vandalism at the school during which it reminds me so the office when they had the moment where they were doing the pranks, but the pranks was just uh Michael and Dwight going around and just knocking everything off the shelves in the office.
• 2:59:21
  SPEAKER_15: So furniture was overturned, toilet paper, and baby oil were strewn throughout the building, graffiti and paintballs and eggs adorned the exterior.
• 2:59:32
  SPEAKER_15: Investigators identified 45 people who have been fur referred to for prosecution, a number that includes a combination of children and adults.
• 2:59:41
  SPEAKER_15: The offensive referred for consideration include criminal damage to property, trespassing, burglary.
• 2:59:48
  SPEAKER_15: Each case has been evaluated individually based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
• 2:59:53
  SPEAKER_15: So here's the part of it, though, that I find so maddening is I've heard so many stories about the chaos in the classroom and how teachers can't do anything to get their classrooms under control that if there's one student that's disrupting the classroom, they remove everybody in the classroom to then go and singularly deal with the student.
• 3:00:09
  SPEAKER_15: And here we have granted, this went out of control in terms of what had happened.
• 3:00:14
  SPEAKER_15: The damage was$24,065.
• 3:00:18
  SPEAKER_15: But you have 45 children and adults involved in this.
• 3:00:21
  SPEAKER_15: And they're I mean, they're gonna throw the book at all these guys by comparison to what what we've seen happen in the classrooms.
• 3:00:26
  SPEAKER_14: When they say adults, that that has to mean like 18-year-old graduates, right?
• 3:00:30
  SPEAKER_14: There's not like parents involved.
• 3:00:32
  SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
• 3:00:32
  SPEAKER_07: Teachers?
• 3:00:33
  SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
• 3:00:33
  SPEAKER_08: I feel like I can I can see some parents that are like, you know, oh man, this would be so cool.
• 3:00:39
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I listen, if this is just lame to me, okay?
• 3:00:43
  SPEAKER_08: If your prank involves needing 45 people to pull it off, you probably ain't doing it right.
• 3:00:50
  SPEAKER_08: If you had to like workshop your prank, like you're taking away from the spontaneity.
• 3:00:55
  SPEAKER_06: Well, my favorite prank that I've ever heard is like, oh, so you go.
• 3:00:58
  SPEAKER_15: No, put a pin in that real quick.
• 3:01:00
  SPEAKER_15: Max Reimer.
• 3:01:00
  SPEAKER_06: I gotta go to work.
• 3:01:01
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 3:01:02
  SPEAKER_15: Thank you so much for the time this morning.
• 3:01:04
  SPEAKER_15: It was great to see you as always.
• 3:01:05
  SPEAKER_15: Have a great week.
• 3:01:06
  SPEAKER_15: We'll see you next week, hopefully, buddy.
• 3:01:07
  SPEAKER_15: Peace out, G.
• 3:01:08
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 3:01:08
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, Catherine, please go ahead.
• 3:01:09
  SPEAKER_06: Uh beepers in the ceiling.
• 3:01:11
  SPEAKER_06: So you know how schools have the ceiling tiles, kind of like we do in here, where you can pop them out and just like move them over a little bit, put something beeping in there, and so now in every classroom there's things beeping, and someone has to track them down.
• 3:01:23
  SPEAKER_06: Like, really?
• 3:01:24
  SPEAKER_06: There's no need to destroy property.
• 3:01:26
  SPEAKER_06: You know, like senior pranks are kind of funny, but like you don't really need to like just do something like that, a little a little bit simple, but so that everyone's like, oh, where is it, you know?
• 3:01:35
  SPEAKER_10: My favorite prank that I heard of, I think it was in Indiana school.
• 3:01:39
  SPEAKER_10: All of the seniors brought in a gallon of water.
• 3:01:42
  SPEAKER_10: And the teachers freaked out that they were gonna do something with this gallon of water.
• 3:01:46
  SPEAKER_10: So then they were like, Oh, you can't have gallons of water, and then a teeth the student called the the news and said, They're not letting us have water, and it got to be a huge thing.
• 3:01:56
  SPEAKER_10: But it was completely innocent, nothing was damaged, it was just the whole just the whole everyone brought a gallon of water.
• 3:02:03
  SPEAKER_10: It was weird and quirky and hilarious.
• 3:02:05
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, well maybe that's what we need we need to do in our schools to get the to get the you know the the problems under control.
• 3:02:10
  SPEAKER_15: Just have the kids start bringing in water to get everybody to to go and and respond.
• 3:02:15
  SPEAKER_10: Um now they do it daily anyway, the girls with their Stanley.
• 3:02:21
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
• 3:02:22
  SPEAKER_10: They change brands every couple years, but yeah.
• 3:02:25
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 3:02:25
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 3:02:25
  SPEAKER_06: I mean they're they're now for me it's become just very practical.
• 3:02:28
  SPEAKER_06: I refill my Stanley like once an hour and have a ton of water and you can carry it all over the house.
• 3:02:32
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, it's incre it's great.
• 3:02:33
  SPEAKER_06: I'm sorry.
• 3:02:34
  SPEAKER_06: It's just it's a great cup holder, like I need that much water.
• 3:02:37
  SPEAKER_06: I it's a w it's wonderful.
• 3:02:39
  SPEAKER_15: Before we wrap, one more quick one.
• 3:02:41
  SPEAKER_15: I just want to ask, I have not gotten over the course of the past 24 hours in AK, you could probably help out.
• 3:02:45
  SPEAKER_15: I've not gotten an update on the plague in Russia.
• 3:02:48
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 3:02:48
  SPEAKER_15: Are you guys follow- are you Jill and Catherine, are you guys following this up?
• 3:02:51
  SPEAKER_10: A little bit.
• 3:02:52
  SPEAKER_15: I have thoughts.
• 3:02:53
  SPEAKER_15: I know there was a second death, but have we heard anything since then?
• 3:02:56
  SPEAKER_15: Do you have any sort of update on that, AK?
• 3:02:58
  SPEAKER_08: Uh no.
• 3:02:59
  SPEAKER_08: So essentially the Russian government is saying it's not a plague.
• 3:03:03
  SPEAKER_08: This person died from pneumonia.
• 3:03:05
  SPEAKER_08: Um, other basically whistleblowers are saying that this is uh, I believe it's called mnemonic plague.
• 3:03:12
  SPEAKER_08: And the idea is that it potentially could be airborne and it has like uh an R plus rate of like seven or eight, which means that one person can get eight people uh sick and that it potentially just like uh gives you pneumonia, a very, very severe form of it.
• 3:03:31
  SPEAKER_08: But uh the question is are people gloming onto this to hopefully create fear that then in the United States people start masking up and they say, well, you know, if if President Trump tries to end, you know, universal mail-in ballots in any way, shape, or form, he's gonna be putting people at risk.
• 3:03:47
  SPEAKER_08: I think there's more of that, but I haven't seen the story blow up any further than where it's quiet.
• 3:03:53
  SPEAKER_08: It's just quieter down.
• 3:03:55
  SPEAKER_06: You know what it could be?
• 3:03:56
  SPEAKER_06: It could be that STD diarrhea thing, and the Russians are just embarrassed.
• 3:03:59
  SPEAKER_15: Well, it's funny you bring that up because um that's actually the story that I have right here that I was gonna wrap on.
• 3:04:05
  SPEAKER_15: Uh because maybe this is of bigger concern.
• 3:04:07
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, this is a bacteria causing dysentery and spreading rapidly.
• 3:04:11
  SPEAKER_15: They call it uh Shigella.
• 3:04:14
  SPEAKER_15: Shigella?
• 3:04:15
  SPEAKER_15: I saw them at Coachella recently.
• 3:04:17
  SPEAKER_15: Did you?
• 3:04:17
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 3:04:18
  SPEAKER_15: Uh off brand.
• 3:04:20
  SPEAKER_15: This is spreading rapidly among the LGBTQ community and evolving into a drug-resistant superbug.
• 3:04:27
  SPEAKER_15: The disease, which can be life-threatening, is now primarily transmitted through sex.
• 3:04:31
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, so that's avoidable.
• 3:04:32
  SPEAKER_15: With a drug-resistant strange skyrocketing from 0% in 2011 to 8.5% in 2023.
• 3:04:40
  SPEAKER_15: The CDC is recommending increased awareness, uh, prevention strategies, and proper hygiene practices to combat the spread of this sexually transmitted uh diarrhea disease that's on the uh on the rise.
• 3:04:51
  SPEAKER_15: It's a good thing we uh legalize those bathhouses.
• 3:04:54
  SPEAKER_15: Oh my goodness, yeah.
• 3:04:55
  SPEAKER_08: No, that that sounds that actually that's just like a problem kind of solving itself in a certain essence.
• 3:05:01
  SPEAKER_08: Uh listen, monkeypox was, you know, at the beginning they try to say it was everyone.
• 3:05:07
  SPEAKER_08: I'm like, as long as you are uh if you're a male and you're not having sex with other men, like don't gotta worry about it.
• 3:05:13
  SPEAKER_08: So cool for you.
• 3:05:14
  SPEAKER_08: And this kind of seems like the same thing.
• 3:05:16
  SPEAKER_08: You know, I mean, bless those of you that uh, you know, want to do that or whatever, but there's consequences.
• 3:05:22
  SPEAKER_08: So good luck with that.
• 3:05:23
  SPEAKER_15: Well, before we go out on this uh on this blast, and I got something uh special to uh play here.
• 3:05:28

  SPEAKER_10: It's beautiful.

• 3:07:58
  SPEAKER_56: You know, and then you can use the Waymo.
• 3:08:01

• 3:08:04
  SPEAKER_56: Just get in, okay?

  SPEAKER_56: The end.
• 3:08:17
  SPEAKER_26: Since they grip the steering wheel.
