• 0:12
  Speaker 2: The United States of Americas existed two hundred and fifty years,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and out of all that time, this country is only
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: known peace for seventeen years. So ninety three percent of
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the time we woke up and showed violence. If you
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: had a friend and everywhere they went they started to fight,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you would think that that was his fault, right, Yeah,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: so ninety three percent of the time. And what we
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: have the tendency to do is to talk about people
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: in the missis or they've been fighting ever since forever.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We have been fighting, ever since we first came up
• 0:43

• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Our stars and strikes must be made out. It should
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: be met at gods. And ultimately, I would say that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: there have been very few wars after World War One
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: that were necessary. Yeah, world War Two, I would say
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I think all of that has been under the at
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the at the behast of corporations. We have we have
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: assassinated Saddam Mussin, Marmar Kadaffi, h Van Laden, now Komani.

  Speaker 1: If you could murder your way to peace, we be there. Yep.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: What these people do not.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Understand and in this country that doesn't seem to understand
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you can kill people, you can never kill ideals.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: In the last six months, this man has kidnapped a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: leader of one country and murdered the leader of another,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: all while trying to sign in the name of regime change,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but all while trying to sam simultaneously stop the country
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: he lives in from voting.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It was the regime change we want he's trying to stop.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And all of them are brown.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And I just I think one hundred and almost over
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of one hundred and fifty school aged children girls were killed, yep,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and nobody mentions it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think happened?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: As if you're the parent or brother or sister, or
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: or you know somebody who's associated with those children, what
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: do you think happens?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I despise Trump, but if somebody killed him.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And the thing that Mega does is amazing to me
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is they're like, look, they're rejoicing in the street.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know what would happened when Donald Trump goes.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It'll look like we're doing a Footnoos video. It will.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: They don't understand in this world how much he's despised.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Even here Komaney, who we don't even know, ain't got
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: nothing on Donald Trump.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: He despised that much.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And I don't care if his children that are blown
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: up at a school and Iran, I don't care if
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it's children that are slaughtered on the school yards in America.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I don't care if children that are sexually assaulted on
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the island. Maga will find a way to justify it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They will every time, and look the other way. It
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: is three people already. Did you see how they've had
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: what four fighters just gets shot down. Let me tell
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you something, several suits. What people don't understand. I rang
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: gonna fight back that they shot up. They attacked the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: ship in the straits of her moves and they also
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: blew up the largest oil refinery in the world. So
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: all these people who were complaining about prices, wait till
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: your gas.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Prices go up.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you think you could afford bacon, Now wait to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: decide beef. Now, wait till you decide if it's gonna
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be between hamburgers are going to work.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. This is Republican presidents always do.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Always Ronald Reagan, all of them. Have started a war,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: presided over recession, all of them, and you keep doing it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Here she is.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: She's fighting a good fight for chance together for Georgia Ford.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So normally, you know, I wouldn't already hang around Don
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and you know he has had this problem, you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but every time I talk to one of you guys,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I wipe my and wipe my head.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Said, I can't have you all my DNA. I can't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have that man, you know.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: But it's good to talk to you. So the last
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: time we spoke, you were about to be arraigned. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: let's set the table. You were one of the nine
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: people that the Trump administration went after for going into
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that church in Minneapolis, right, Yes.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I am an independent journalist of States here in Minnesota. Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and I was covering it that day.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And you also have covered the Derek Shavan's rail and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: many of the other things that have gone on because
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Minneapolis has had has run off some very impactful interbulent
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: things that you've been kind of the witness of those
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and the reporter who from Derek Chavann to other things
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that have happened.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, yeah, I was one of two journalists in fact,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: who were inside the courtroom during the Derek Schavin sentencing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And so I think that is part of what is
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: so absurd in this entire case that has been weaponized
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: against me, against my journalism, right is the very courts
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in which I have been credentialed in state courts here
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: in Minnesota have credentialed with prestiss Federal courts here in
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the state of Minnesota have critic fields with press passive.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And so to now be a.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Cue of not even being a journalist, you know, it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: just an extremely ab third And I note that we
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: can joke about it right now although we are still
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: facing charges. The reality here d L and Jasmine is
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: that journalism is not a crime. And so this entire case,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I think is, uh, you know, people are paying attention
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to it, especially in media and journalism, because it's an
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: extremely dangerous precedent.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: What are you exactly charged for? And why can you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: talk about the charges? What are the charges?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't rattle it off off the top of
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: my head button. I am facing two federal charges, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I have just stood firm on the fact
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: that I was according that day I was operating in
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: my conser you you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Were very definitely not a protest. You were reported you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: were protesting and testing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: On the prop I've published all of the footage that
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I captured that day, and I think the footage speaks
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: for itself. And you know, I believe we used to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: live in a time where undoubtedly journalists were covered and
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: protected under the First Amendment. We would not be having
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: this conversation about this protest if it weren't for the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: journalists who actually captured and documented what happened that day.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, I.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Believe in our constitution and I think that we needed
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: we absolutely need to.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Do you think that if you had a flag, like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a microphone cover that said seeing in a microphone cover
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that said broads or NBC or any other news outlet,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Washington Posts, you were covered under that banner if you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: were want of somebody that worked with leximitia, I don't
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: think that this would have many much married at all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I think that the people who they would fight, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: think that that's.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: A great that's a great question. I mean, that's a
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: great question. However, I think people who are not from
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Minnesota don't necessarily understand how bad it can be here.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: The CNN Mike's flag did not protect the reporter Omar,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: who was arrested live on television back in twenty twenty.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I think people there, we live in these
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: news cycles that go so fast we forget, but this
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: is not. The attack on the press did not start
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: with my arrest.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's a You're in good company, though. Jeez went
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to jail. Jail, Martin Luther King went to jail. John
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Leyman went to jail, and you went to jail. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: can't be around y'all, but I'm just.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Saying journalism is not a crime.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: People think it is. That it was the same administrations twice.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I will say this, it was a pleasure meeting you.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I know that you have to kind of resolve and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you're gonna comport yourself well. And I'm and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I said this to you that I'm very sorry for
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the situation you find yourself in. But I'm very I'm
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: even sorry for them because I think they picked the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: wrong people. I think I think that they thought that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you guys were back up. When you come back and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: let us know how everything's going.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: As much as we absolutely absolutely would love to keep
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: in touch and and keep the world abressed with what's
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: happening here in Minnesota, there's still so much happening, even
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: though it feels like the world is no longer watching.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: And so we thank you for what you all do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: D L and Jasmine. It's so critical that we have
• 8:50
