It's exactly what 53 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 8: the shutdown is about. So we'll dive into that during 54 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 8: the show as well. But last night was the documentary. 55 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 8: The first airing of the documentary, A Precarious State, we 56 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 8: had on a veteran journalist and the individual behind this documentary, 57 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 8: Rick Cupchella. He was on the show in the final 58 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 8: segment of yesterday's broadcast, so if you missed it, be 59 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 8: sure to give a listen to our three of the 60 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 8: podcast for that interview. Now, again, I can't give my 61 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 8: opinion in total because I haven't seen the documentary. I 62 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 8: can say that based off of and share with you 63 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 8: my opinion based off of my interview with Rick, what 64 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 8: I've seen at the trailer and what you are saying 65 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 8: via the talk back this morning about the documentary. 66 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 5: But again I had to sort of limit my own commentary. 67 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 8: That being said, based off of everything that I just mentioned, 68 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 8: the documentary is pretty much what I expected it to be. 69 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: And it is a our long look. 70 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 8: At all the issues that we've been covering on the 71 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 8: show now since the wake of the death of George Floyd. 72 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 5: Almost serving as a sequel. 73 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 8: To Liz Collins The Fall of Minneapolis, there's a part 74 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 8: of me that's disappointed, only from the aspect of I 75 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 8: wish that Collins documentary was getting an hour long treatment 76 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 8: on local network television like this documentary is. So I 77 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 8: hope that it reaches people that don't listen to this 78 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 8: show and aren't aware of these issues. But I'm venturing 79 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 8: a guest and based off of what many of you 80 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 8: are saying. For those of you, you friends of the show, 81 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 8: what you watched last night really wasn't anything new. It 82 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 8: just appears that there are other individuals now that are 83 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 8: arriving to the party that you and I have all 84 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 8: unfortunately been attending for quite a long time now. It's 85 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 8: not a criticism that is just to say that is 86 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 8: it too little, too late? And we have some talkbacks 87 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 8: relating to that. There's also some frustrations on other parts 88 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 8: of the documentary. Let's start here on a Freedom Friday 89 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 8: with your on and off topic comments all morning long. 90 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 9: For John Justice, dang it Rick Capchello on his special 91 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 9: Watching It Right Now keeps calling it the George Floyd killing. 92 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 9: I refuse to use that word. It was a death 93 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 9: or an overdose. 94 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, no, listen, And that I was aware of that 95 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 8: going into the documentary, that there is a particular viewpoint 96 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 8: relating to the death of George Floyd, and there's different 97 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 8: ways to go and view this. I mean, this is 98 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 8: coming and a lot of the work being done is 99 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 8: being done by Democrats. So that's a that in and 100 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 8: of itself is a is a good thing. So I 101 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 8: think in in the big picture view of the documentary, 102 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 8: only good can come of it, even if the framing 103 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 8: and the narratives surrounding the inciting incidents that sparked the 104 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 8: fall of Minneapolis may be viewed differently than the opinion 105 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 8: that you have or that I have. 106 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 10: Good morning, John, some precarious state documentary last night, fantastic, 107 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 10: twenty years too late. These Democrats that were on there 108 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 10: saying we're not like that. You don't get to claim that, well, 109 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 10: we're not like that anymore. All the regulations you pass, 110 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 10: all little tax increases you passed over your entire career, 111 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 10: have led to this point. 112 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, we're going to talk more about this coming up 113 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 8: in just a moment. I want to share with you 114 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 8: some of my further thoughts based off of my interview 115 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 8: with Rick Cupchella yesterday, and for those that missed it, 116 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 8: we actually had the audio of the trailer.

And I feel like 179 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 8: I'm not taking advantage, you know, of what coffee should 180 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 8: taste like and enjoying it. I'm just doing it because 181 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 8: I because I need it. 182 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 5: Right. So it's just a normal Thursday.

So there's your update this morning, 186 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 8: all right before we get back to your comments on 187 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 8: the documentary. A precarious state last night, because I have 188 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 8: a lot of talkbacks that have rolled in. MaTx Ramer 189 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 8: will be joining us shortly, and I want to bring 190 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 8: him into this conversation as well as we work through 191 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 8: some of your thoughts, because I definitely have further thoughts 192 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 8: on this. I will say that when Rick Cupchella was 193 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 8: in studio yesterday morning, the first time that he and 194 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 8: I had ever met, and he clearly was not familiar 195 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 8: with my show, which is totally fine. I'm just he 196 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 8: wasn't familiar with my show, so I was having a 197 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 8: bit of an internal chuckle, not in an insulting way, 198 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 8: but when he was talking to me about the things 199 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 8: that he discovered in doing his investigation of what has 200 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 8: transpired in the wake of the death of George Floyd, 201 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 8: the COVID pandemic, and why Minneapolis is such a mess. 202 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 8: In my head, I'm kind of chuckling, going, yeah, dude, 203 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 8: I know I know about that. 204 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 5: And yeah, I know I know about that. Oh and 205 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 5: I also no, I know about. 206 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 8: That, and again, and I expressed as much when I 207 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 8: was talking to him that hopefully this documentary has the 208 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 8: opportunity to reach individuals who don't listen to the show, 209 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 8: who aren't aware of all of these issues that have 210 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 8: driven Minneapolis into the ground over the course of the 211 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 8: past few years that individuals like Rick are just now discovering. 212 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 8: I'll add this and then, like I said, we'll get 213 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 8: to more of your talkbacks coming up, and I want 214 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 8: to cover some other news, But. 215 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 5: I wish that. 216 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 8: It's almost like the local media is just has arrived 217 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 8: late to the party, as if to say, hey, we 218 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 8: can talk about all these things now in the wake 219 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 8: of all the fraud. 220 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 5: And there's more fraud to talk about later on today too. 221 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 8: There's another story of some twenty million dollars that may 222 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 8: have been illegally paid to nonprofits, and we'll share that 223 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 8: next hour. But it kind of feels like suddenly now 224 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 8: they feel like it's okay to cover these things, and 225 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 8: we're never going to get anywhere if we're not covering 226 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 8: these things up front. We cannot allow things to get 227 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 8: to the state of where they are in Minneapolis or 228 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 8: the state of Minnesota as a whole, and hope that 229 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 8: we can turn things back around when it gets this bad. 230 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 8: We need to be better at tackling these things when 231 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 8: they arrive. And this is what the media largely ignores, 232 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 8: and I think it's why individuals like Rick were unaware 233 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 8: of what was going on while you and I have 234 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 8: been talking about it now for a number of years. 235 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 5: In the meantime, we do have a sm other news 236 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 5: to share. 237 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 8: President Donald Trump has declared drug cartels operating in the 238 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 8: Caribbean are unlawful combatants and says that the United States 239 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 8: is now in a non international armed conflict. According to 240 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 8: the Trump administration, So do we say Caribbean or Caribbean? 241 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: Like? 242 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 8: I know, when we do Pirates of the Caribbean, you 243 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 8: do piate to the Caribbean. 244 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 5: You don't do Pirates of the Caribbean. 245 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 8: But I feel like when I do a story like 246 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 8: this and we talk about drug cartels operating in the 247 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 8: in the Caribbean, I feel like, you say Caribbean. 248 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 5: You're looking at it. I have no idea I'm looking to say. 249 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 5: I'm to see like if he understands what I'm saying, Like, well, 250 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 5: which way would you go? 251 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 8: Like, if you're reading that line, if you're eating I 252 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 8: would do Caribbean, you would do Caribbean, Okay, But you 253 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 8: do pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, you don't do pirates 254 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 8: of the Caribbean, right, It's not really relevant to the 255 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 8: story here at hand. 256 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 5: It's just it's a freedom Friday. 257 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 8: A US official familiar with the matter who is not 258 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 8: authorized to comment publicly, said Congress was notified about the 259 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 8: designation by a Pentagon official on Wednesday. The move comes 260 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 8: after the US military last month carried out three deadly 261 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 8: strikes against alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean. At 262 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 8: least two of those operations were carried out on vessels 263 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 8: that originated from Venezuela. 264 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 10: Now. 265 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 8: Legal experts cited by The New York Times said the 266 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 8: move cements Trump's claim to extraordinary wartime powers the authority 267 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 8: to target enemy fighters without trial, detained suspects indefinitely, and 268 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 8: try them in military courts. The administration stress to the 269 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 8: devastating toll of the drug overdoses with kill one hundred 270 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 8: thousands Americans annually are a justification. Listen, this is the 271 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 8: era of FAFO and it continues, and it's long overdue 272 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 8: to that point. 273 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 5: CNN, I don't. 274 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 8: Know how they get interviews with these guys. A CNN 275 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 8: journalist is sat down. This is David Colver for a 276 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 8: rare interview with the senior leader of the Cineloa cartel. 277 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 5: When asked to point blank. 278 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 8: If President Donald Trump's actions have made business more difficult 279 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 8: for drug cartels, the leader of the Cineloa cartel responded, 280 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 8: and he was mass you couldn't see him to hide 281 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 8: his anonymity. He responded without hesitation and says, oh yeah yeah. 282 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 5: When pressed he said yeah, essentially saying oh hell yeah. 283 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 8: CNN's reporting also revealed that cartels are jacking up prices 284 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 8: to smuggle migrants into the United States because of the 285 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 8: Trump crackdown. What used to cost sixty five hundred dollars 286 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 8: now runs close to ten thousand dollars per person, pricing 287 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 8: many immigrants out of the black market border business. Those 288 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 8: who can't afford the fee, they're often forced into debt 289 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 8: bondage working for the cartels to pay off what they owe. 290 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 5: And this is a. 291 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 8: Similar move to what happens when you have coyotes that 292 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 8: are smuggling individuals illegally into the country. That was before 293 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 8: former President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris opened the 294 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 8: border completely. Over the course of the last four years, 295 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 8: leading up to Trump's victory. Trump's recent move to deploy 296 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 8: the US military for antique cartel operations, treating cartels as 297 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 8: foreign terrorist organizations, marks an unprecedented escalation in America's fight 298 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 8: against these criminal syndicates. In contrast, as I was just 299 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 8: mentioning to the permissive border policies of the Biden years, 300 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 8: Trump's return to law and order is forcing their cartels 301 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 8: to adapt, pay more, and ultimately lose control. This piece 302 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 8: from the Daily Wire wraps up saying the Sineloa cartel's 303 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 8: leader's clearest message was simple. Trump is hurting the cartels 304 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 8: and they know it. There's a there's one or two 305 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 8: cars in the parking lot and they have the We're 306 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 8: not going back stickers. I think that those were attached 307 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 8: to the Biden Trump election. If not mistaken, they are 308 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 8: liberally aligned bumper stickers. I think that the GOP needs 309 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 8: to adopt that and steal it because I don't want 310 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 8: to go back, because this is how things need to 311 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 8: be done.

So well, it's good to know that 406 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 5: I wasn't lied to. 407 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 11: I will just say, if we had a French press 408 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 11: or something in this studio, It's not like this is 409 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 11: a massive room, right right, Hey, I like the smell 410 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 11: of coffee, but this room was permanently smell. 411 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 8: Like coffee, absolutely absolutely all right. A couple other Freedom 412 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 8: Friday items. 413 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 10: Good morning, it's Tammy the elder Billy Ocean said Caribbean 414 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 10: good luck. 415 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 16: I was as a new teacher I would say it's Caribbean. 416 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 5: I think it's interchangeable depending on the context. 417 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 14: I was just going to say when you asked me 418 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 14: about this before, I was a split second away from 419 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 14: making the Billy Ocean reference, because he, in my opinion, 420 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 14: says it both ways at the same time. 421 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 5: I don't know how he does it. He kind of 422 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 5: does which way do you go, Caribbean or Caribbean. I 423 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 5: think it's interchangeable. 424 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 11: I gotta think about this because it's like what rolls 425 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 11: off my tongue. I think I've gone both ways, but 426 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 11: Caribbean is probably the way that I would naturally say it. 427 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 8: Pirates of the Caribbean, you know, yeah, yeah, you don't 428 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 8: say pirates of the Caribbean, correct, But when I was 429 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 8: reading the story about Trump blowing up cartel ships in 430 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 8: the Caribbean, that felt right. That felts, that feels correct. 431 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 8: So I feel like it's interchangeable depending on context. That's 432 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 8: like Qatar and Cutter, why is that? And Wayzada, No, 433 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 8: that's not no, that's it's not like that. Former producer 434 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 8: Sam wrecked me on that one. 435 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 436 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 8: When I first got here, I was asking her all 437 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 8: the time, and there was a point where she had 438 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 8: me convinced it was waysada, waysada, and then I and 439 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 8: then I just every time I went to go and 440 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 8: say it, I just wouldn't say. 441 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 5: She let you on air saying ways ada pretty much. Yikes. 442 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 5: All right, let's get back to this. 443 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 15: I just watched A Precarious State by Rick Cpchella, who 444 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 15: used to be a reporter here in the Twin Cities. 445 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 15: I saw a K. Kamara on there, and the gist 446 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 15: of the movie was it's just fact that Democrats on 447 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 15: the problem they are ruining Minnesota.

I'm just going yeah. 504 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: We talked about it every we're talking about this for years. 505 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 8: But what I was very interested in knowing was what 506 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 8: would be in the documentary for the person listening who's 507 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 8: aware of all this stuff that maybe they didn't know. 508 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 8: And it sounds like this is what he mentioned, and 509 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 8: it sounds like you keyed him on the two and 510 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 8: that was some of the specificity relating to what those 511 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 8: city council members said on their campaign trails and then 512 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 8: the way that they ended up acting once they got 513 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 8: into office. 514 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 11: And almost all of it is aligned with the three 515 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 11: Democrats Socialist leaders. The rest of the council for the 516 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 11: most part, seems to follow the Democrats Socialist leaders of 517 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 11: the council, and so that is something the nuance the council, 518 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 11: the nuance of that though I didn't know. 519 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 5: I just figured that. 520 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 11: Eight of the council members were always campaigning as Marxist 521 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 11: Democrats socialists and. 522 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 5: That wasn't the case. The other thing that I'll just say. 523 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 11: Was there were plenty of Democrats in that documentary talking, 524 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 11: which I found interesting, Like when people are like it's propaganda, 525 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 11: it's being bankrolled, this, that and the other thing, well, 526 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 11: it's like you actually had quite a few Democrats go 527 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 11: on record, from former city council members in Minneapolis, to 528 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 11: former school board members in Minneapolis, to former superintendents to 529 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 11: somebody who was like the financial comptroller for Minneapolis for 530 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 11: sixteen years, go on record and be like, we're on 531 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 11: an unsustainable path and basically what you're you're kind of 532 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 11: left with at the very end of the documentary is 533 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 11: it is Democrats who are doing this. It is the 534 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 11: far left component. That's the angle that we're trying to take, 535 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 11: the far left component of Democrats. But I've said it 536 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 11: on air before, I will say it again. There is 537 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 11: a paper thin difference between someone like Tim Walls and 538 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 11: someone like Mary Moriarty or someone in the House that 539 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 11: I serve with and Mary Moriarty, this extreme faction is 540 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 11: actually representative of what mainstream DF I'll believe in Minnesota. 541 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 8: I want to keep framing my comments with making sure 542 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 8: that I am of the opinion that this documentary is 543 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 8: a positive thing in the exposure of what is taking 544 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 8: place in Minneapolis for individuals that may not be fully aware. Okay, 545 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 8: So I just, I just I want to make sure 546 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 8: that I that I frame when I make my comments 547 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 8: because the other angle of this for me is it 548 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 8: cannot get to this place here that we end up 549 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 8: with this type of coverage because I don't know if 550 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 8: we've gone too far down the road to turn things around. 551 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 8: And that's that's what's that's what's frustrating to me. That's 552 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 8: that's what annoys me is that there have been individuals myself, 553 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 8: Alpha News, American Experiment and others that have been talking 554 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 8: about this stuff for years and yet suddenly you kind 555 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 8: of get and again it can only be a positive, 556 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 8: but you get this essential essentially a well known individual 557 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 8: and Rick Cupceella arriving on the scene saying, Hey, did 558 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 8: you guys know all this stuff is happening? We need 559 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 8: to go and talk about it. It's like, yeah, that's great, 560 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 8: and I'm glad that you are. But man, we gotta 561 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 8: do this a lot way sooner than this, for sure, 562 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 8: way sooner than this. We need this now for what's 563 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 8: happening as it relates to the fraud. 564 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 5: I mean, we're up to six point five. 565 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 8: Billion being predicted by our own DHS right now. 566 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 5: Give us that documentary. 567 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 8: If ABC is willing to go and air this now, 568 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 8: then somebody please get on board put something together so 569 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 8: they can talk about and compile all of the fraud 570 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 8: that has taken place under the Walls administration, because that's 571 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 8: what we need right now is we head into next. 572 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 11: Year's elections and in this documentary, Minnesota has so many 573 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 11: problems that this documentary did not cover the fraud issue 574 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 11: at all, but there was still makes sense. I'm just saying, yeah, 575 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 11: but still, and you had an hour worth of content 576 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 11: about all of the other problems that we're facing from 577 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 11: businesses leaving capital, leaving Minneapolis not being a safe place. 578 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 11: Fraud could occupy another hour and a half long documentary 579 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 11: at this point because we have so much of it. 580 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 8: May that'll be for the sequel, The Continued Precarious Date, 581 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 8: The Failed State. 582 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: Good Morning, John Tom from Hudson to the The Precarious 583 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: State last night, And honestly, there wasn't really anything in 584 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 3: there I hadn't already picked up on from your show 585 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 3: over the years. I like what Ak said in his 586 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: follow up that it's a great starting point, but then 587 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 3: people should move on to the fall of Minneapolis. For 588 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: folks with their heads buried in the sand are just 589 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: soaking up local media. That's a solid way to finally 590 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: get the truth. 591 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 8: Listen, you want to start doing some good, then you know, hey, 592 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 8: ABC News, why don't you do a back to back 593 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 8: double feature. You start with the Fall of Minneapolis and 594 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 8: you follow it up with The Precarious State, and you 595 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 8: really give everybody the full and complete picture of what 596 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 8: has transpired, especially with the starting point, because that's what 597 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 8: I love about the Fall of Minneapolis documentary is that 598 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 8: it is just a presentation of all the facts, and 599 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 8: you get to determine how you feel about all the 600 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 8: facts being presented, because the problem's been that all the 601 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 8: facts had not been presented relating to the death. 602 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 5: Of George Floyd. 603 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 11: I'll just use the analogy milk and meat, right, So 604 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 11: if this was milk for a lot of people who 605 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 11: seem to trust in their government, trust in the system 606 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 11: we forget in Minnesota. Our bar for people changing their 607 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 11: minds is very high. People want to believe, not us, 608 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 11: not the listeners of the show, but generally people who 609 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 11: are mainly watching mainstream media, who are not engaged in 610 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 11: the day to day of politics like we are on 611 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 11: this show. They need to be introduced to the concept 612 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 11: that their government as it stands cannot and should not 613 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 11: be trusted to govern. 614 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 5: And if if this documentary started a handful of. 615 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 11: People down the path of WHOA, I didn't know it 616 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 11: was this bad, Guess what, we might have a handful 617 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 11: of new listeners on the on the John Justice Program. 618 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 8: So sweet I had asked, and I had a chance 619 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 8: to watch it yet and nobody's mentioned it, but they 620 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 8: were supposed to add right at the end before the 621 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 8: credits rolled. 622 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 5: Now, go listen to John. 623 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 8: Justice on Twin Cities News Talk six to nine and 624 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 8: you can learn about all this stuff before. 625 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 5: We didn't make it. 626 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 11: It wasn't after the credits. It was the bonus or 627 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 11: it wasn't before the credits. It was the bonus scene 628 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 11: after the credit got you. 629 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 5: It was it was it was the post credit, the 630 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 5: post credit. 631 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, where there's nothing but John Justice's face right at 632 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 11: the end the Marvel movie. 633 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 13: Some good points made in the show last night, John 634 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 13: This is Chuck from green Isle. But yeah, the George 635 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 13: Floyd supposed killing that. And you can tell that the 636 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 13: guy uh Cupchella was a reporter with a modern journalism education. 637 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 13: Just by the it seemed like a democratic slant to 638 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 13: the whole thing. 639 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 5: Almost. Yeah, well that makes sense because he's a demo. 640 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 8: So I mean, if you go to Rick's Twitter feed 641 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 8: and you scroll through it, you're gonna end up seeing 642 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 8: a lot of posts that you were not going to 643 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 8: be huge fans of. But again, I'm glad that he's 644 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 8: covering it, and maybe it provides the opportunity for other 645 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 8: Democrats to go and do the same thing and way 646 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 8: up to what is going on. So I'm not going 647 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 8: to give him too hard of a time for his 648 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 8: political views. That being said, you're absolutely right, he's coming 649 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 8: from from the left, and there is a positive angle 650 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 8: to that. I just want to make sure that we 651 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 8: kind of have all of our but he's discovered as 652 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 8: we're as we're talking about. 653 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 11: But like I said before, I think it added validity 654 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 11: to people who might be skeptical of Republicans or conservatives, 655 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 11: or they're just they're inflammatory, they're making things up. I 656 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 11: think it added validity that half the documentary featured prominent 657 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 11: Democrats from Minneapolis. 658 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 8: All Right, I got to open up the door because 659 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 8: I'm going to set set on fire my stack of 660 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 8: prep because we're not getting to any of that this morning, 661 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 8: so I just want to make sure I'll set up 662 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 8: the smoke alarm.
