1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Working through a host of issues. This morning here on

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talking, we're talking feuds between Trump and

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green, Trump saying the Epstein files need to

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: be released. Ice moving into Charlotte to deal with their

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: illegal immigration woes. Here in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Police chief

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: sites East African kids from out of town in ongoing

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Dinky Town youth crime problems. An article from Alpha News.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: And again, if the police chief is going to specifically

9
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: call out issues relating to certain demographics, then one has

10
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: to wonder if the problem is reaching in Apex. At

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: this point in time, I'm going to share with you

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of what the city of Minneapolis is

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: doing to not handled any of these problems. In the meantime,

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: let's get to some of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app.

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Your comments.

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: Talkback's brought to you by Lyndahl Realty here on Twin

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: City's News Talk.

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: Good morning, guys, So, speaking of immigration, the lady that

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: cut my hair, she's been here nineteen years, came over illegally,

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: has a seventeen year old son, married to a American man,

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: and went through all the immigration classes.

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that she's married to she's married to an

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: American man. The way he worded it sounded like the

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: seventeen year old son married an American man. There's been

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: a lot of confusion on the show this morning, and

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm partly responsible for that.

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: So I just want to make sure that we clarify.

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: And she went to her routine hearings that she was

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: supposed to tend, and she went to one and they

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: deported her. So obviously I don't think she paid her

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: fees that were part of her immigration, so they do

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: take everyone.

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm just curious how you how did that conversation though,

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: where you found out that she was here illegally? Was

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: it like, do you want me to trim your eyebrows?

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: And Hey, did you know I'm an illegal alien?

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: I'm curious. Good morning.

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: This is kW from the Great City of Minneapolis, a

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: friend of the show with a different perspective.

40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: Hey, John, I was just wondering have you ever watched them?

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: Did you ever see the movie Predator bad Lands?

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: Yes? I did. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: it quite a bit.

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: I would say it's my second to favorite Predator film,

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: next to the original.

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: That was the one that just came out a couple

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: of weeks ago.

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, I kind of enjoyed that movie. I

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: know this is not a movie segment, but I'm just curious. Also,

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Marjorie Green, I really liked her. I saw

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: her on a news program this Sunday morning. I've really

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: like her integrity.

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike.

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: I do think there is a level of getting back

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: to my commentary regarding MTG from earlier, I think there

56
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: is a level of authenticity coming from Marchorie Taylor Green.

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I think that she believes that what she's doing is

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: the right thing. But that being said, she's also finding

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: herself on an island when it comes to her particular opinions.

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: There's also a lot of griff that's happening within these

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: feuds that she has been attached to as well. Bringing

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: things back to the city of Minneapolis.

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: I'm guessing Chief O'Hara is missing his wife and kids

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 5: back in New Jersey, so he's looking forward to moving back.

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 5: It's refreshing to actually have somebody in Minneapolis government that

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: tells the truth him brings LFE to things that are

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: being covered up. So for once, Chief O'Hara great job.

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Listen, it's kind of a circumstance where in light

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: of the politics of Minneapolis and how it's near impossible

70
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: without really spending the money and going through a few

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: election cycles to bring about change, like individuals like Police

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Chief O'Hara are like the best you're going to get

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: in terms of Democrats that are in positions of power.

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I do think that he's probably planning on leaving, which

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: is why he's being more vocal. But I also think

76
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: that the issues relating to crime are reaching an apex

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: wherein he just simply cannot avoid and needs to voice

78
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: specifically what the problems are, whether it is issues relating

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: to certain demographics, or whether it's his frustration with the

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Hennepin County Attorney's Office and the revolving door of criminality

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: under the social justice zealot that is Mary Moriarty.

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning John.

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: There's a good reason why Chief O'Hara hasn't sold his

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: home in New Jersey. He's going to need it pretty

85
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: soon and he knows this, and he's known it for

86
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: a long time.

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Rich Again, I went back to have

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: her cut my hair to make an appointment, and the

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: owner told me that they deported her and that she

90
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: was illegal.

91
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: Oh gotcha, the entire story.

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: So and her husband actually works for the city in

93
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: the area we live, so it happens.

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to know the specificity as to why,

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, what exactly she did or did not do

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: that got her deported. But thank you for clarifying on that.

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: So take a little off the top. I'm here illegally,

98
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: didn't have a different way. So we have crime going on,

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Police chief being very specific, what.

100
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: Is the city of Minneapolis focused on? City leaders are.

101
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Discussing the need for more public bathrooms downtown. It's supported,

102
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: apparently by new research highlighting the demand and potential costs.

103
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: The report that was released the last week by the

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Public Health and Safety Committee states that Minneapolis doing that

105
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: thing with my fingers has a lack of adequate to

106
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: public restroom facilities. This is according to Adam Dwinnick from

107
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Downtown Council, saying there's not as many as

108
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: there ought to be. Well, I think part of the

109
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: problem is you don't have as many businesses that would

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: typically go and have bathrooms of which people can go

111
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: and use. You also have the situation of individuals living

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: on the streets who just to find any location that

113
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: suits them to go.

114
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: And do their thing.

115
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: The report includes a map mark marketing public bathrooms in

116
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: places like City Hall, the Hennepin County Library, Dowinnock and

117
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: the Downtown Council have been working on the issue for years.

118
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: Why do you need to be working on it for years?

119
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's if you want more bathrooms, than work

120
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: at building more bathrooms, we should explore.

121
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: All the options we can.

122
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 7: So.

123
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Several standalone public restroom models were researched, including the popular

124
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Portland Loo. Oh yeah, that's exactly where we should be

125
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: taking our cues from Portland, where it can cost up

126
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: to one hundred and eighty five thousand dollars, with installation

127
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: fees ranging from ninety thousand to eight hundred thousand. Speaking

128
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: of griffs, Duinnick said, they're not cheap. Some of these

129
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: models can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. One idea

130
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: from the report is incentivizing businesses to open their bathrooms

131
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: to the public.

132
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: Hey, I was just talking about that.

133
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: No one wants to have to tell somebody you can't

134
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: use the restroom set A manager, a corner coffee on

135
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: the Nickeltte Mall. That manager noted that they used to

136
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: allow public access to their bathroom but stopped to do issues.

137
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: It's like vandalism and drug use. I'm sitting here, I'm

138
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: stunned that that would end up being a problem. Monetary

139
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: incentives don't fix public safety. She went on to say

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: there has to be a middle ground between allowing people

141
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to use the restroom it's a right, but also making

142
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: sure that people aren't disrespecting the state the space. Jason

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: Chavez the chair of the committee, far leftist on the clouncil.

144
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: He's the chair of the committee behind the report. Oh man,

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: if he's the chair of the committee behind the report,

146
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: then there are other things afoot with this need. They

147
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: were unable to discuss, unavailable to discuss how many restrooms

148
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: they want, the budget or the timeline. Updates will be

149
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: provided when available. You know, this is a problem, and

150
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: this was a story out of Channel five. This is

151
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: a problem that could end up fixing itself. If you

152
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: just end up tackling the lararger issues that the city

153
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: is dealing with, all of these things.

154
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: End up correcting themselves.

155
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: You deal with the crime, you bring back the businesses.

156
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: You deal with a homeless issue, you can have businesses

157
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: opening up their bathrooms again for individuals that legitimately are

158
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: there to use the bathroom and not to go take

159
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: a bath or a shower in the sink of the bathroom.

160
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: They've got more than enough bathrooms in the Twin city

161
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: is saying. Heck, they even have a mobile bathroom. What

162
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: do you think the light rail is for?

163
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, you guys, come on now, Well that

164
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. All right, we'll get back to

165
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: your comments coming up here in just a moment. Also

166
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: on the way, keeping with the theme, So while Minneapolis

167
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: is looking to bring about more bathrooms, what is Hennebon

168
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: County doing. How is Hennepin County spending their time making

169
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: sure that their employee are ready to go and do

170
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the job necessary of the pay that they receive from

171
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: the taxpayers. How about implementing pronoun training.

172
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 8: Thank god, they're finally taking care of the real problems

173
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 8: in Minneapolis.

174
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 9: Get more bathrooms.

175
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 8: I mean, when you rob the store, take a car,

176
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 8: pick pocket somebody on the street, I mean, these people

177
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 8: need bathrooms.

178
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: Thank you? Whoever thought of that? Maybe that's the Maybe

179
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: that's the problem.

180
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: Maybe all the carjackings are just occurring because people are

181
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: trying to get to a bathroom quicker and they can't

182
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: find one.

183
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: It's been a weird show today.

184
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: We're not done yet, so there's weirdness that could still

185
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: take place, and I'm going to contribute to that in

186
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: just a moment with Hennepen County implementing their pronoun training.

187
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: I have the audio to share with you. Commentary's been

188
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of all over the place this morning, and now

189
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this when phones

190
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: of the show actually agree with me.

191
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 10: Hey, John and Jess stiff Ian Curry, So dealing with

192
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 10: this public bathroom situation, he hit a nail on the head.

193
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 10: Deal with the larger issue, just like the fentanyl problem.

194
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 10: Deal with the supply and demand. Deal with demand. Deal

195
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 10: with the demand of people of your character that want

196
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 10: that fentanyl. That's why we have something to overdose in fentanyl.

197
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 10: So I agree with you, will deal with a larger

198
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 10: issue on most subjects.

199
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: Have a good day.

200
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: I mean, he still called me John Injustice, but there

201
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: was a little bit of agree.

202
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: With me that was in there from foe with the show, Phil,

203
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: what is going.

204
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 11: On, doesn't that fall probably on the category of the

205
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 11: dead clock is right twice a day.

206
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, broken clocks right twice a day him, or maybe

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm just getting to him. Maybe he's finally coming around.

208
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: Listen to the show long enough in common sense actually

209
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: grabs hold. One could only hope.

210
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you

211
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: heard about that problem?

212
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Hennepin County, in the meantime of all the other problems

213
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with, has implemented pronoun training for its

214
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: employees as part of a broader diversity and inclusion initiative.

215
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: I thought we got rid of that. Here's a bit

216
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: of the audio.

217
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 6: You know.

218
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: You've been through this if you work for any large

219
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: corporation and you have to go through the mandatory training

220
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: that takes place every single year.

221
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: That's what this is.

222
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 12: I use he, him and his, And when someone uses

223
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 12: my pronouns, it makes me feel respected.

224
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 13: I use he, him, and asking for someone else's pronouns

225
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 13: helps me avoid misgendering my coworkers.

226
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 7: I use say them pronouns because sharing my pronouns creates

227
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 7: an inclusive environment.

228
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 14: I use she, her, hers, And when someone uses my

229
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 14: pronouns correctly, it tells me my coworkers care about me.

230
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 12: Welcome to the Why Pronouns Matter video training. By the

231
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 12: end of this training, you will be able to identify

232
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 12: commonly used pronouns, connect correct pronoun usage with creating a

233
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 12: respectful workplace, how to normalize sharing and asking for pronouns,

234
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 12: and how to apologize when you make a mistake.

235
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: This does not need to be a thing, and this

236
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: is not an inclusive thing because you could then go

237
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: it would just take momentum behind it, shaming taking place

238
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: for any number of other ways in which people would

239
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: like to be identified in order.

240
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: To suddenly now have to go and.

241
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Be in a business situation wherein not only do you

242
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: have to go and address individuals by their proper pronouns,

243
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: but I wanted to be addressed as a Star Wars

244
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: fan or a lover of music. These arediculous examples. But

245
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. If somebody is having a one on

246
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: one conversation with another individual and they're talking and they

247
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: would like to be addressed in a particular way, okay, fine, whatever,

248
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: But to go and mandate or to suggest that you

249
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: must address individuals with these proper pronouns, and if you

250
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: don't you're somehow disrespecting them, it's lunacy.

251
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 13: For examples of personal pronouns, I'm sure you know most

252
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 13: of them, but some are probably new to you. Also,

253
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 13: some people may use their names instead of pronouns, or

254
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 13: many use multiple sets of pronouns. For example, someone might

255
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 13: tell you my pronouns are sheever or they? Then that

256
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 13: means either is fine. You can ask them if they

257
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 13: have a preference. If you don't know how to pronounce

258
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 13: certain pronouns, you can look them up using the correct pronouns.

259
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 7: For a coworker client tells them you respect who they

260
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 7: are as a person, it shows that you listen to them,

261
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 7: and it acts actively demonstrates the core value of customer

262
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 7: service and diversity, equity and inclusion. When we use correct pronouns,

263
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 7: we help create a welcoming workplace and avoid unnecessary harm.

264
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 7: By allowing everyone to feel more comfortable and to be

265
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 7: their authentic selves, we can build stronger teams.

266
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 14: The pronouns someone uses are often connected to their gender identity.

267
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 14: Gender identity is a personal sense of one's own gender,

268
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 14: which can correlate with a person's assigned sex a birth,

269
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 14: or it can differ from it It's important to know

270
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 14: that the pronouns someone uses do not necessarily match their name,

271
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 14: how they address, or how they openly express themselves, and

272
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 14: the choice of pronouns can change and adapt to their

273
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 14: identities over time.

274
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 12: If you decide to share your pronouns, here are some

275
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 12: ways you can do it. Share your pronouns when introducing yourself, Okay,

276
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 12: include your pronouns and your email signature. Introduce new team

277
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 12: members with their pronouns.

278
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to stop here.

279
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: Got some spectacular comments that are rolling into the iHeartRadio app,

280
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,200

00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,480

Speaker 5: gonna attack helicopter and this whole thing is freaking stupid.

287
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: When somebody uses my pronouns at work, it tells me

288
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: I need to get my resume ready because I'm not

289
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:39,680

295
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: Cities News Talk. Hey, I'm eleven thirty one oh three

296
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: five FM. Glad you're with the show this morning, talking

297
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: about the issues facing Minneapolis.

298
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Last hour, we had ours earlier, this earlier, this hour,

299
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 2: getting my hours screwed up.

300
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Police chief sighting East African kids from out of

301
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: town in ongoing Dinkytown to youth crime problems. The police Chief,

302
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: Brian O'Haras had in an interview with CBS, groups of kids,

303
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: groups of East African kids that are coming from surrounding

304
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: communities and not just one community, kind of all over

305
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: the place. They're coming in the area, armed and ready

306
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: for a fight. These aren't poor kids from Minnieappolis that

307
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: are our residents. They are coming down in mommy's Mercedes

308
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Benz to Dinkytown and they don't know where they are.

309
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: So on top of the issues rather specific being raised

310
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: by the Minneapolis Police chief, you have the city of

311
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Minneapolis looking to bring more public restrooms downtown.

312
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: That's a concern.

313
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Hennepin County employees in the meantime are having to deal

314
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: with pronoun training is product a part of its broader

315
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: diversity and inclusion initiative. I thought that we had gotten

316
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: rid of that. We'll get some more of your comments

317
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: from the iHeartRadio app, including and we'll make this one

318
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: your talkback of the day, brought to you by MINILEAF

319
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: and minileaf dot com.

320
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 2: More to John, just go with the pronouns.

321
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 15: Say there is hope for the younger generation as in

322
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 15: the gym on Friday, younger couplicator.

323
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: Than they were in your early twenties.

324
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 15: And he had the ultimate truth on his T shirt.

325
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 15: It said there are three genders male, female and mentally

326
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 15: ill man. Did dat hammer come down into nail hard

327
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 15: have a good day?

328
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: I thought you'd like you.

329
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: How fit was the individual wearing the shirt. That was

330
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: a rather brave thing to say? Thank you for the

331
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: comment again. And then as your talk back of the day,

332
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: brought to you by minileafanminileaf dot com.

333
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: Good morning, John. Come on, these are not proper pronouns.

334
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 5: They're asking you to use improper pronouns.

335
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: Just oxymoronic. You can't be a democrat and lesser a hypocrite. Yeah,

336
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: you require me to use pronouns.

337
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: I will consider that a challenge at Malicious Compliance.

338
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 9: Boy, and listening to you talk about the proposed pronoun training,

339
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 9: my first thought went to, I wonder how many students

340
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 9: could even identify what pronouns are right. Perhaps that's what

341
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 9: educators need to be spending their time on grammar, math, reading,

342
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 9: science and stop with the pronoun training.

343
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 5: Hey, Joe, I self identify as E or now which

344
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: way back to the one hundred acre wood.

345
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 16: Bye.

346
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 17: All of the leftist terminology that's getting pushed into our

347
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 17: society just needs to be rejected, and we know that,

348
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 17: but we just need to double down on it. Make

349
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 17: sure that we're not giving in things like gender identity,

350
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 17: gender assigned at birth, unhoused people, food, deserts, all this

351
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 17: crap that they say. Just reject it altogether. We're not

352
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 17: playing their games. Let them call their names, but just

353
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 17: don't get into their mouse struggle session.

354
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: Well, and keeping with that theme, Minneapolis City Council member

355
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: Robin Wansley posted on x in the wake of the

356
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: In the wake of the election last week, sixty five

357
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: thousand plus residents voted to elect a Democrat Socialist All

358
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: the council races that had a DSA endorsed.

359
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: Candidate won by an overwhelming margin.

360
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: These results send a clear message people want leaders who

361
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: will fight for working class communities, not corporate interests, citing

362
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the Democrat Socialists of America of which she is a member.

363
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: So as you know, however, Minneapolis man Baby mayor Mom

364
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Jeans Jacob Frye won over Omar fat So the Democrat

365
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Socialist mayor did not emerge victorious the individual in this

366
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: case running for mayor that was endorsed by the DSA.

367
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: That being said, it's not stopping these city council members. Nope,

368
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: they are moving forward with a Democrat Socialist caucus within

369
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: the city council.

370
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: This is what Robin Wansley posted online.

371
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 18: Hey y'all, it's council member Robin Wansley, and I'm just

372
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 18: coming to you to check in and share a little bit.

373
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 9: Of good news.

374
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 18: So this time last week, we had forty six thousand

375
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 18: Minneapolis residents vote to elect a Democratic Socialists mayor. And

376
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 18: while we were not victorious in that fight, all for

377
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 18: the essay endore city council candidates, including you're truly won

378
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 18: their races by all the whelming margins, and to me,

379
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 18: that does send a clear message that we do have

380
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 18: people all across our city who do want city leaders

381
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 18: who are going to fight for working class communities and

382
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 18: not corporate interests. And that's exactly why I'm so excited

383
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 18: to announce that I will be formally bringing a proposal

384
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 18: to establish a Democratic Socialist caucus on the City Council,

385
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 18: and that I intent to lead it.

386
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: Why, I know why, But why The other City Council

387
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: members vote ninety nine percent of the time in lockstep

388
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: with the other socialists, So why bother making a Democrat

389
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: Socialist caucus. It's completely unnecessary except in the minds of

390
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: activists like Wansley, because that's what she is. That's what

391
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: the other members on the City Council are. They're not leaders,

392
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: they're activists. Moving forward with the socialist's agenda is a

393
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: lot more important than the vitality of the city and

394
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: the areas of which they represent. They don't care about

395
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: the voters, they don't care about the crime. No, they

396
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: care about their ideology and their agenda. Because this is

397
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: a complete and total waste of time, considering the fact

398
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: that there's very little the Democrats socialists don't get.

399
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: It's also a.

400
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: Bit of a temper tantrum. She sounds very pleasant and

401
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: smiling and talking about her new Democrat Socialists.

402
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: But make no mistake, this is a pushback.

403
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: On the fact that omar Fate didn't win, so they

404
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: needed to do something. So she's moving forward with this initiative, and.

405
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 18: This caucus will represent the city wide movement we've built

406
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 18: over several years to advance policies that uplift and protect

407
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 18: working class communities and some of our most vulnerable communities.

408
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 18: And I think it's important to have that work and

409
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 18: those values be reflective in city Hall. So in January,

410
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 18: I look forward to Council supporting the adoption of a

411
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 18: Democratic Socialist caucus under my leadership, and then for us

412
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 18: to get to work to advance and win a twenty

413
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 18: dollars minimum wage, keywrint to protections like print control and

414
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 18: the city owned grocery store. So you already know that

415
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 18: I'm in this with you, and I look forward to

416
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 18: working together to prove that a Minneapolis works best when

417
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 18: it works for all of us. So with that, y'all, by.

418
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: So among the things that she'll be working on, a

419
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: twenty dollars an hour minimum wage, And as I said

420
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: over the Fight for fifteen, why not make it twenty.

421
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: I'll say this now, with a twenty dollars an hour

422
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: minimum wage, why not make it twenty five? Why not

423
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: make it thirty? Why not make it one hundred? Rent

424
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: control in city owned grocery stores. The good news is

425
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: about all of this is that either these policies or

426
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: recipes for failure, So eventually.

427
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: These will all fail.

428
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, they have to be implemented in order to fail.

429
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: And I fear that, as I mentioned before, because of

430
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the majority of the Minneapolis City Council

431
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: votes in lockstep with the socialists on the clouncil, and

432
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: Mayor Jacob Frye doesn't yield a ton of power, they

433
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: may be able to implement implement some of these policies

434
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: much in the way that Mom Donnie will. And again,

435
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: the good news is people will see firsthand what they're

436
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: no longer taught in their schools anymore, and that is

437
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the failures of the radical left ideologies under the banner

438
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: of socialism. But a lot of people are going to

439
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: have to be devastated in order for those examples to

440
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: come to fruition. The next mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson,

441
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: also an open socialist, whose parents send her money still

442
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: for her bills at forty three years old. She has

443
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: no professional accomplishments whatsoever, and didn't start earning a regular

444
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: income until her late thirties.

445
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 16: As a progressive and as a socialist, I believe in

446
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 16: good governance. Our government is how we act collectively, how

447
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 16: we accomplish the things that can only be done together.

448
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 16: I believe that our city should be able to tackle

449
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 16: big challenges and take on big and vicious projects, and

450
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 16: I believe it is a very bad thing when people

451
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 16: begin to lose faith and the ability of their government

452
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 16: to be responsive and effective and to deliver results for

453
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 16: its constituents. I look forward to working alongside all of

454
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 16: the dedicated public servants who work for the City of Seattle,

455
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 16: not just to advance a transformative policy agenda, but to

456
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 16: make sure that we are delivering basic services, communicating with constituents,

457
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 16: working collaboratively with every single neighborhood around the city, and

458
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 16: building that faith and trust in government that is so

459
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 16: essential and yet so rare in our times.

460
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: You're fascinating to talk to.

461
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: It's all just a word salad. There's absolutely no substance there.

462
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 7: Now.

463
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: People vote for it.

464
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: Because they haven't seen the devastating impacts of socialism.

465
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: They weren't taunt.

466
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: In schools about how these policies just simple are not

467
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: sustainable and so therefore they're way more susceptible when an

468
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: individual rides in and says, I'm going to go and

469
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: fix all of your problems. I'm gonna take from the

470
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: rich people who have been achieving their wealth and not

471
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: sharing it with any of you, and we're going to

472
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: make sure that we get some of that back and

473
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: that you're taking care of with all of these free things.

474
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: To that point, another audio clip for you. So this

475
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: is an individual in Minneapolis. They go by the name

476
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: of Ash. They posted this online. I see their posts

477
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: on my x feed going and looking at the you know,

478
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: issues relating to Minneapolis. The algorithm spits this stuff to me.

479
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: But it's an interesting little example here because Ash writes

480
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: that this was my question at the DFL listening session

481
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: took place last week. She says the answer I got

482
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: was not the one that I thought was acceptable. What

483
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: I found interesting about this clip, though, is that it

484
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: shows you the kind of energy that these democrats socialists

485
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: have that are working to get socialists elected into positions

486
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: of power.

487
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 19: Hi, I'm ash I see him pronouns. I'm a proud

488
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 19: transgender member, member of the community. I'm a proud Democratic

489
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 19: Socialist as one of three cost secretaries of the city convention,

490
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 19: I'm former SD six g Outage and Inclusion, former Word

491
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 19: six chair. I planned the entirety of Ward six coxes

492
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 19: and conventions by my seth. I had to pull in

493
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 19: people from outside of my board and outside of the

494
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 19: sick of Minneapolis to help me. Shout out to Brian

495
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 19: Swamp and Dan comes comments, thank you for that. I

496
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 19: received little to no support from party leaders above my

497
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 19: personal unit of Ward six. The most I got, at

498
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 19: least from the state party was some translation equipment, which

499
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 19: I am thankful for.

500
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 5: To be completely clear, but when.

501
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 19: I was having issues, I did not receive help. The

502
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 19: city did not receive help. Ward six did not receive help.

503
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 19: Ward six is a notoriously ignored war within the DFL

504
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 19: because we're majority of Somali. To be frank, with the

505
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 19: upcoming Hennepin County convention, with the upcoming Senate District conventions,

506
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 19: just in odd years in general, because there's not a

507
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 19: ton of support in odd years for conventions and for caucuses.

508
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 19: How does the state party plan to combat the one

509
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 19: the lack of volunteers. There's a reason I was working

510
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 19: by myself in Ward six. Nobody wanted to help until

511
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 19: I asked, And even then it was hard. I was

512
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 19: so burnt out. I resigned from all of my DFL

513
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 19: positions after the Ward six convention.

514
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: It was bad.

515
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 19: How do you plan on one supporting the lack of

516
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 19: volunteers within not just warts, it's not just Minneapolis, not

517
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 19: just head of a county, but in the state in general,

518
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 19: especially with recent events regarding the city convention and regarding

519
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 19: everything that's been going on in Minneapolis, And how do

520
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 19: you plan on combating just the amount of time and

521
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 19: energy that people feel that they have to sink into

522
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 19: the party and then burning out and crashing and not

523
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 19: being able to get help. Because when people go to

524
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 19: party leadership and ask for help, they should get help.

525
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 19: They should not be ignored, they should not be pushed off,

526
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 19: they should not be spoken over like I does.

527
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Again, I just share this with you because it does

528
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: serve as a really good example of the energy and

529
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: motivation that individuals like this on the left have.

530
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: And while she.

531
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Was complaining about the lack of support that she was receiving.

532
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: She'd obviously put in the work. Is a true believer

533
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: in the cause.

534
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: These individuals that are being elected as socialists, they have

535
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: true believers that are backing them, and there's an energy

536
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: behind their movement which conservatives cannot dismiss. It'd be to

537
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: your detriment to go and do so.

538
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 20: John, I find it very telling at the call of

539
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 20: the socialists and the communists, isn't helped the poor to

540
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 20: attack the rich and to that end they succeed mightily.

541
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 20: They just take from the rich and don't help the poor.

542
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 20: Everybody ends up for the worst.

543
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: No, it's a really good point. And thank you for

544
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: the talkback on the iHeartRadio app. Those are brought to

545
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: you by Lindahl Realty. Let's go here.

546
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: John, You're really being confusing this morning, I am.

547
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 17: When you talked about the type of energy that asks

548
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 17: brought to that council meeting, were you talking about they

549
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 17: them energy?

550
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: Energy?

551
00:32:54,360 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 8: Energy?

552
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: What a weird morning? Really has been just a bizarre Monday.

553
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: What does this mean for the rest of the week.

554
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: By the way, I missed this earlier.

555
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: I was playing the audio of Hennepin County and they

556
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: were going through the required worker pronoun training. Was there

557
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: any education on terminology like this from Governor Tim Walls.

558
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 5: Rinchi Harton or something.

559
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Curious? Twin City stores took part in open ended, nationwide

560
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: Starbucks strikes. The strikes began on Thursday, the company's Red

561
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: Cup Day, one of the busiest sales sale days of

562
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: the year for Starbucks. According to the article that I

563
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: have in front of me from Bring Me the News,

564
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: Zoe ron Mom, Donnie was talking about the unionized to

565
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Starbucks workers last week.

566
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say.

567
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 21: Talking about a CEO of a company who made ninety

568
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 21: six million dollars just last year, ninety six million dollars,

569
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 21: which is six thou six hundred and sixty six times

570
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 21: the median Starbucks worker salary.

571
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 11: That's the kind of disparity that we are seeing here.

572
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 11: And what these workers are asking for is the bare minimum.

573
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 11: They are asking for a salary that they can actually

574
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 11: live off. They are asking for hours they can actually

575
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 11: build their life around. They are asking for the violations

576
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 11: of labor law to finally be resolved, and they deserve

577
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 11: a city that has their back. And I am here

578
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 11: to say that that is what New York City will vision.

579
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 6: My message to Starbucks management is that I stand here

580
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 6: today to practice with these workers, and if you force

581
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 6: these workers to go on strike, then I will be

582
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: there with them on that strike as well.

583
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna share with you audio from a star Bucks

584
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: a worker in Washington where they actually ended up shutting

585
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: down the Starbucks that they work at in Redmond over

586
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: these boycotts at taking place. Starbucks only has their selves

587
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: to blame, however, allowing some of their locations to have

588
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: their baristas be unionized.

589
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: These are not meant to be careers.

590
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: You're not necessarily supposed to be able to make a

591
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: living comfortably off of an entry level job like being

592
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: a barista. And tragically, many of those gen Zers that

593
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: are cheering over the comments from Mom Donnie or protesting

594
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: outside their Starbucks, they haven't been taught and haven't bothered

595
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: to use any common sense as to why individuals in

596
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: corporate Starbucks make as much money as they do. How Again,

597
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: the pay is reflective of the job that they're doing,

598
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: and that ridiculus this percentage that Zohron provided doesn't account

599
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: for the actual costs of running the business and paying

600
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: their salaries. And yet they put themselves out of work

601
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: in Redmond, Washington, forcing the store to close.

602
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: What do we want? When do we want it? What

603
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: do we want? When do we want it? What do

604
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: we want?

605
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 6: What do we want?

606
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: We need to be paid more.

607
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 22: It's ridiculous, like what we have to go through as workers.

608
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 22: We're telling Starbucks that they need to invest in us

609
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 22: and they need to come back to the bargaining table

610
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 22: so we can get a contract and we can be

611
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 22: back at work.

612
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: The video was so sad to see this young girl

613
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: standing there with her protest Starbucks and T shirt that

614
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure some well funded activist group provided to the

615
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: individuals that we're protesting outside of the Starbucks.

616
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: And she'll probably end up losing.

617
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Her job over all of this. And again, Starbucks only

618
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: has themselves to blame. They have been catering to the

619
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: woke left for years now. They created this disaster.

620
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: But I do have a.

621
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: Level of sympathy for these individuals or is it empathy

622
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: which one either way, it's so disappointing because these people,

623
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: these young people, they are going to be out of work.

624
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get themselves a job in a

625
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: place that's not going to allow them to unionize, or

626
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to be catered to in the way

627
