1
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Drinking the bus driver you might throw making your own

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: coffee at home.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: And putting it in and killing it have a good day.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: Well see, listen, here's the problem with making coffee at home.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 3: I'm even worse. I mean, the coffee tastes bad at

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 3: my house. I have my own coffee maker in my

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: off my office slash bedroom because of the odd hours

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 3: that I keep and someone Inda and I sleep in

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: two separate places. I've always mentioned that we have for years,

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: and it works perfectly.

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: For see, I'm not sure if you made your own

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 4: coffee at home, I'm all due respect, I'm not sure

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 4: what would actually be in that coffee when you came

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 4: into the studio here.

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: I just don't know. I'm not good on ratios, so

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: I honestly couldn't even tell you what a good cup

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: of coffee sounds like. Like I said, I always treat

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: it like as more utilitarian. It's just this as my coffee.

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: It's here to wake me up. I don't really give

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: a rip about the taste. But then as I sit

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: here and talk to you, my tongue feels weird because

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: I had bad coffee in so anyways, his tongue feels weird. Yeah,

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: you have too much coffee. You get that bitter caste,

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: you know, than haven't.

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 4: You know what that's called the flavor of coffee?

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: To give myself from, to give myself that one? There,

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: you are fascinating. Catherine Johnson from American Experiment joins us

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: in the studio on a Freedom Friday.

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning. It's kind of dark this morning

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: and depressing.

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: We're outside or just in the studio. Oh okay, It's

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: like I thought we were having a rather lively conversation

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: this morning. I know we're talking about, you know, Minneapolis,

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: but I still thought that we were rather jovial. We're

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: talking about coffee. We're talking about bad coffee too. How

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: to spell? Do you go? Caribbean or Caribbean? Caribbean? Okay?

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 5: And I've never seen Pirates of the Caribbean, so I'm

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 5: not passionate about that one.

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that isn't doesn't shock me in the least. You

41
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: not seeing a particular popular franchise, No, I've seen none

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: of them. Revelations here on Twin Cities News Talk as

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: we broadcast from the six five to one carpet Next

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: Day install studios. All right, so you have not watched

45
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: A Precarious State.

46
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 5: No, Unfortunately, it's on my list for this weekend.

47
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: I feel like you kind of probably have sort of

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: a similar I haven't watched it yet either, just because

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: it aired last night after I went to bed and

50
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: didn't have a chance when I got up this morning.

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: Max has watched it. We have a lot of comments

52
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: rolling in talking about it. But I feel like you're

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: kind of in a similar position that I am in

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: because what I'm finding out is, apart from maybe some

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: details relating to city council candidates and their commentary when

56
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: they ran versus how they go and vote, much of

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: what is covered in this documentary, and that was certainly

58
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: the case when the director, a veteran journalist Rick cup Cella,

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: joined in studio, is stuff the American experiment you guys

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: have been talking about for years. I've been talking about

61
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: for years on the show. I'm looking forward to watching it.

62
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure there's going to be any major

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: revelations for individuals like us or Max for that more.

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he deals with the legislative angle of all this,

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: so well.

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: You know, I have to temper what I say because

67
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: my original thought when we heard from Rick about coming on.

68
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 5: He came on the American Experiment podcast very kindly, and

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: my original thought was, no, like, I don't I didn't

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 5: know anything about the documentary at all, but I thought,

71
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: I think that that wouldn't be new information for our people.

72
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's you know, a good like

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 5: I don't know. It didn't make sense to me. But

74
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: then you know, in talking to you, of course, the

75
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: better people around me they were saying, no, look, of course,

76
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 5: we have to reach new audiences with this message. It's

77
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 5: a great message, and we have to get it in

78
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 5: front of as many people as possible.

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: And to do that you have.

80
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: To do it through different mediums, get to get on

81
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: you know, network television like he did. And also, you know,

82
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: he didn't talk about some of the things that some

83
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 5: people might have strong opinions on, like George Floyd as

84
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: he discussed earlier. Yeah, that might be for the better

85
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: for those people. Sure, And so you know, I came

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 5: around and he was fantastic. He did a great job,

87
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: and now I'm very excited.

88
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: To watch it.

89
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: But I had the same initial reaction where I thought

90
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: it seems like it would have been groundbreaking two years ago.

91
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: It's it's hard because I don't want to it's it

92
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: is the quintessential. I don't want to throw the baby

93
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: out with the bathwater, right, But there is that part

94
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: of me where and I'll stress again, I think there's

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: nothing that good. There's nothing but good that can come

96
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: from this being produced by those on the left, having

97
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: individuals on the left who are willing to go and

98
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: talk and probably I know there's some comments in here

99
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: that the Minneapolis police chief is featured in it, and

100
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: I imagine that those prominent democrats felt more comfortable talking

101
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: with Rick than they would anybody else. But there still

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: is that part of me that goes, we cannot let

103
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: things get to this place. We we're even having this

104
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: conversation right now about the you know, how much of

105
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: this and how long has it been going on? Because

106
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: I don't want it to be too little, too late.

107
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: This stuff needs to happen immediately. We can't get to

108
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: six point five billion in potential fraud going out the door.

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: It should have stopped when we were at two hundred

110
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: and fifty million and six hundred million dollars, and we

111
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: should have had documentaries being done way back then. Yeah. No, doubt.

112
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: And at the same time, it's like we're in Minnesota

113
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: and the enemy, my enemy, has to be our friend.

114
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: We don't have this luxury of Hey, if you change

115
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: your mind in twenty twenty five, I'll take it. Yeah,

116
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: you should have changed your mind in twenty twenty. I

117
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: don't know how that can just wake up everybody in

118
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: the state of Minnesota. But that's it if it takes

119
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: you five extra years.

120
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: Welcome, Welcome a board. Yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome Yet the

121
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: water is warm, the Bruce willis Welcome to the party. Pal.

122
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: You know, I'm glad you're here. Exactly. I am glad

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: you're here. But man, we cannot let it take this

124
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: long to get here. All right, let's get to some

125
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: of the thoughts from the iHeartRadio app Top Batch, brought

126
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: to you by Lindahl Realty.

127
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning John. They mentioned there is hope at

128
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 6: the end. First of all, you have to get rid

129
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 6: of the Democrats socialist and you've got to remove this

130
00:05:52,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 6: extreme ideology. And would people be willing to use others

131
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 6: cities that have turned themselves around as an example to

132
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: do the same thing here and support the police and

133
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 6: increase the police department.

134
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: Warning gentlemen, Phil from Jordan, Happy Freedom Friday. I have

135
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: not completed watching the documentary yet, but the question I've

136
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 7: always had is why do the main businesses stay in

137
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 7: Minnesota when you have South Dakota right next door in

138
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 7: North Dakota, even Wisconsin that have better tax policy.

139
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: Why do they stay?

140
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 7: Are they getting subsidized or are they just passing off

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 7: the increased taxes onto the consumer here. I don't know

142
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 7: if the documentary discusses it, but I would be interested

143
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 7: to know.

144
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: Max as the documentary discussing, yeah, no one's saying, no

145
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: one's sing, that's the answer. It talked about the commercial

146
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: real estate values, and you guys have seen the stories

147
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: about that, how these big buildings in downtown Minneapolis are

148
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 4: selling for literal pennies on the dollar.

149
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 3: But the answer is, no one is staying.

150
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 4: And to the extent that they are staying and subsidies

151
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 4: are involved, you're talking about like health insurance companies and

152
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: these other ones where government subsidy is kind of baked

153
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: into the business model.

154
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: But mainstream businesses, businesses.

155
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 4: That drove downtown and drove traffic to uptown and drove

156
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: traffic to everywhere in Minneapolis, that would be considered a

157
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: tourist activity or a leisure spot. It's because there are

158
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: no businesses. Any businesses that occupy those buildings have either

159
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: left or are desperately trying to leave. It doesn't exist.

160
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: Go to downtown Minneapolis, there is no foot traffic.

161
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: I wonder what kind of impact this documentary is going

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: to end up. I mean, what kind of Let me

163
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: back up, will this documentary have any sort of tangible impact?

164
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you do have prominent democrats that are talking

165
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: and speaking out on this. You know, we have a

166
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 3: mayoral race. We've got Omar Fat who got busted breaking

167
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: the log and we'll talk about this later. Really, yeah,

168
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: you violated the campaign practice acting be fine for yard

169
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: signs because he had the because he claimed the endorsement,

170
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: and the endorsement is putting out yard signs for the endorsements.

171
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: And now it's been rescinded and they're not going to

172
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: give it back to him.

173
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: Nah, okay, okay, Well that's that's probably part and parcel

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: for him.

175
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: Couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow. But is this

176
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: documentary going to have any sort of I mean, beyond

177
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: exposing individuals like I wonder within the Minneapolis city government,

178
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: considering that you had the police che speaking on and

179
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: then the first time you've spoken about he's you know,

180
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: he's been vocal in the past to local media, But

181
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: do you think it's going to happen a sort of

182
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: tangible impact.

183
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think there is one a really good

184
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 5: thing to be said about the timing of the documentary,

185
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 5: because the culture is shifting in major ways, and I

186
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 5: think the mainstream opinion is being shifted to the right. Thankfully, finally,

187
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 5: after a long time where it really was comfortably on

188
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 5: the left, now you finally see mainstream people really acknowledging

189
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 5: this shift to the right. So maybe this documentary actually,

190
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: well we think it might be late, maybe it's at

191
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 5: the perfect time to continue that shift to that right

192
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: for people in Minnesota.

193
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

194
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: One thing they talked about in the documentary that I

195
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: also found fascinating was these cities which have gotten the

196
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: same rap as Minneapolis since COVID and since the George

197
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: Floyd riots, all of them are making recoveries much faster

198
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: than Minneapolis.

199
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 3: Even right now.

200
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: San Francisco, which we San Francisco used to Minneapolis now

201
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: is what San Francisco was three four years ago in

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: terms of headlines and just dirtiness and crime. But San

203
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: Francisco right now, in particular because of the AI boom,

204
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: is making an active comeback. You have elected officials in

205
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: San Francisco who are getting serious about prosecuting violent crime.

206
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: They threw out Democrats, socialists, I believe, county attorneys and

207
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: school board members, and they threw out a lot of

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: the radicals in San Francisco. And they're in an active

209
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: comeback right now. So part of the documentary that I

210
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: found fast was look at what San Francisco is doing

211
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 4: right now, and look at what Minneapolis is doing. In Minneapolis,

212
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: there doesn't seem to be an appetite to change the attitude.

213
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 3: In fact, I think the Democrats.

214
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: Socialists in Minneapolis are becoming more emboldened to say the

215
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: craziest stuff you've ever heard and to propose the craziest

216
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 4: policies you've ever heard. I will just say the one

217
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: fun part about that documentary was there's probably like a

218
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: ten minute feature on violence interrupters. I'll watch it for

219
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: that was what a ridiculous idea it was.

220
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 8: There were some good points made in the show last night, John,

221
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 8: this is Chuck from green Isle.

222
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: Chuck.

223
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 8: But you know the George Floyd supposed killing that, and

224
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 8: you could tell that the guy Cuptella was a reporter

225
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 8: with a modern journalism education just by it. It seemed

226
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 8: like a democratic slant to the whole thing.

227
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 3: Almost good bye, thank you, Chuck. All right, coming up,

228
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: we'll continue to take your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app.

229
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: We have for Catherine Johnson from American Experiment. Representative max

230
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: rymer Eta on ak Kamara is right around seven thirty five.

231
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: Business owner, So I'm sorry, yeah, business owner ay k

232
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: Kmark got to figure that out. Tell me you're losing

233
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: the argument. Without telling me you're losing the argument. As

234
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: doctors in Minnesota hold a press conference yesterday dressed all

235
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: in their white outfits. By the way, you're not in

236
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: the hospital anyway, they call for a gunman in a

237
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: special session. Also, Governor Tim Walls says he will not

238
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: bend the knee to President Donald Trump. We have a

239
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: stunning and brave of him. I didn't know that Trump

240
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: was asking him to bend the knee. That being said,

241
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: we have a rather lengthy clip that we get to

242
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: go through of Governor Tim Walls from a press conference

243
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: that he held yesterday. So I'm looking forward to to

244
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,080

Speaker 8: A lot of us have been listening. But Moss Caden's

249
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 8: bought ex and started some of the stuff started being

250
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 8: what in social media that was being banned.

251
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 10: Before we'd still be.

252
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: Ten years behind where we are right now.

253
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 8: I mean, it's really true.

258
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: on that. I had no idea that I played one

259
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: of them one of them twice, So I try not

260
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,120

Speaker 3: of tracks when I was prepping tod It was okay,

271
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan. I like reputations

272
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: that we were talking about, but this is going to

273
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: be a big deal. I mean, everybody, and this is

274
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: going to be apart from the news of the day

275
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,400

277
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: of the top five, it's Taylor Swift's next to album,

278
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: and I know Catherine Johnson is very excited. Well, I

279
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: unfortunately love Taylor Swift.

280
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 5: I think I'm of the age of I listened to

281
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: her first album on a CD on a boombox and say.

282
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: It like that's like like that's you say it like

283
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: I would say archaic technology. You say CD like I

284
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: would say eight track or cassette tape for crying out

285
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: lout that I understand. Yeah, yeah, okay, Okay, I do.

286
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 5: I did think that was archaic technology. But you know

287
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: the CD on my boombox it is Hello Kitty, and

288
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: so now you know, I feel like I've grown up

289
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: with Taylor Swift my whole life, so I do love her.

290
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: From that perspective, I have to say, and.

291
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm Max daughter. Do you have a daughter Taylor Swift? No,

292
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: she's too young. Okay, well one day, just wait. The

293
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: kids love Taylor. Yeah, that's what she's good at doing.

294
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: She's good at reinventing herself to make sure she can

295
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: continue to grab those younger audiences, just like Netflix.

296
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: See, this is why we need a precarious state so

297
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: that NPCs like you can get educated and stop listening

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: to Taylor Swift.

299
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: Nothing for my Netflix joke. I guess there's a couple

300
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: of people that gotten understood what I.

301
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: Was saying, But I was wondering why you were looking

302
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: around anyway?

303
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: You fascinating to talk to you. Did you hear the

304
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: controversy with Netflix and the whole Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

305
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: just all right, don't give it to myself yourself, Sansas,

306
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: you want to chime in on Taylor Swift and drop

307
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: your album dropping today, he's got some opinions. He's the residence.

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say musician, but I think of all of

309
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: us here, I think you're the most musically inclined of

310
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: all of us.

311
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: That is, maybe I don't want to give myself that title,

312
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: but with regard to Taylor Swift, I will take.

313
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: Your word for it. I'm not Taylor's swift. You know

314
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: who's a big swifty, not me. Followed the show Phil

315
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: and eaton.

316
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 11: Prairie Morning John and Justice Itself and Eating Prairie. So

317
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 11: let me get this right. You're doing your cohorts there

318
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 11: and call the Democrats communists socialist, but you pushed back

319
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 11: and call you a fascist. Huh, And you guys get

320
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 11: your panties up in the I rates. That makes sense

321
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 11: to me. See bullies, when you hit them in the nose,

322
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 11: they do like you guys sell whining. It's different like

323
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 11: the little girls. You guys are. Don't throw a stone

324
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 11: if you can't handle the boat or coming back at

325
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 11: you have a good day.

326
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: Tell me how I'm a fascist, Phil, Please please tell

327
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: me anything at all. Tell me anything at all. It's

328
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: tough when.

329
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: The other side says we are socialists, we are democrats

330
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 5: and we are we are communists. That that's just true.

331
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: So it's not really the same, right, Yeah, but just

332
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: tell me just I just I would love to know

333
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: like one policy thing that I have said that would

334
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: ever have me aligned with fascists. I'll sit here and wait.

335
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: I'll just say.

336
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: Maybe the distinguishing factor is that right now we have

337
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: assassins carving catch this fascist on bullets.

338
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: Maybe that has something to do with it.

339
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: I haven't been seeing a lot of like catch that

340
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: socialists carved on assassin bullets. Still, this whole both sides,

341
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: when there is one side actively assassinating people, is you

342
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: know that might be worth considering.

343
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: This morning, it sounded like he was at the gym or.

344
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 4: Just breathing really heavy, having an episode.

345
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: Hopefully he has time to ponder that thought. Minnesota doctors

346
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: are calling for lawmakers to move forward with the special

347
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: session to pass legislation aimed at regulating firearms and reducing

348
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: gun violence. They had a press conference yesterday. They were

349
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: all in their white small because that what we think

350
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: call them the combsmocks is that the official word there?

351
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: White robes, gowns, whatever I.

352
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 5: Think of smocks for painting.

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: Okay, you're probably right. Yeah, okay, scrumps, not quite. It

354
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: might be interchangeable, like Caribbean and Caribbean who knows smoke.

355
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: They did hold this press conference wearing their their white outfits.

356
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: Members for the Minnesota Medical Association. Doctors who treated Enunciation

357
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: mass shooting victims spoke about the suffering they witnessed while

358
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: trying to save lives. One doctor said that in the

359
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: whirlwind of August seventh, there are a few things that

360
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: remained vibrant and crystal clear. There's still what keep me

361
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: up awake at three a m. And she talks about

362
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 3: the look of terror on the faces of the children,

363
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: the wave of those in shock, the parents that were

364
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: attempting to comfort them, the second wave of terrified, panicked

365
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: parents not knowing if their child was even there or

366
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: had survived. Listen, that is, I can only fathom, is

367
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: incredibly tragic. I can only I can I can only

368
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: imagine how difficult that would be to go and deal with.

369
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 3: But I don't mean to be callous. It's going to

370
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: sound like I am. But you know what, when you

371
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: have a press conference and you want to talk about

372
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: shoring up security at our schools across the board when

373
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: you want to talk about having armed security there, when

374
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: you want to have a press conference and discuss how

375
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: you had leaders of faith leaders in our community asking

376
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: Governor Tim Walls a couple of years ago for funding

377
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: to shore up security at the schools and he said, yeah,

378
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: that seems like a really good idea. But no, then

379
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 3: I'll start to take you seriously. And on top of that,

380
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: one more note, stick to doing what you do and

381
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: get your nose out of this particular issue. Again. I

382
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: know it sounds callous, but I just get frustrated and

383
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 3: it just tells me the left is losing the argument.

384
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: No, let's do it. I've said it the past several weeks.

385
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: Is to and by the way, I don't know if

386
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 4: a special session.

387
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: Is going to happen.

388
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, question, I don't know what is going

389
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: on at this point with Tim Walls. But I will

390
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 4: just say I am excited and I welcome and I'm

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: so thrilled to have a spe session where we can

392
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: talk about how we actually harden our schools as a target,

393
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 4: how we increase security, how we actually deal with the

394
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: mental health ramifications, and how this toxic stew on the

395
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: internet is bleeding into the brains of young people who

396
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: have mental illness. I want to have all those conversations.

397
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: I'm excited too. We can stop these tragedies or most

398
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: of these tragedies tomorrow if we're willing to have the

399
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: hard conversation during a special session.

400
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 3: I welcome that.

401
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 5: The left, though, is only interested in proposing solutions that

402
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 5: will not solve the problem. Everything I've heard proposed all

403
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: of these gun vans and things like that, expecting that

404
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: criminals will follow along and follow the law and these things.

405
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: That none of these will actually solve the problem.

406
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 5: So if you care about solving the problem, yeah, the

407
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: Republicans have put out a great plan. I also would say,

408
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: the main doctor who was speaking at this thing had

409
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: his pronouns on his smock and so.

410
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: Disqualified. That's good. That's good. That's good to know.

411
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: That's something worth noting about the way that the Minnesota

412
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: machine works on the DFL side is that any given group,

413
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: whether it's faith leaders or doctors or who they have

414
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: an entire cohort that are not far from Saint Paul

415
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 4: that they can just spin up whenever they need. Right.

416
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: So these doctors, I don't know what the.

417
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: Group was, but for them to go up and act

418
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: is if they are the voice of physicians throughout Minnesota.

419
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: It's a canard.

420
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 4: It's fake because the DFL has on speed dial all

421
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: of these other groups, whether it's Isaiah, interfaith groups, these doctors,

422
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 4: there are many union and labor. There are so many

423
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: groups out there that the DFL with one phone call

424
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: can spin up for a press conference.

425
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: Don't pay attention, all right, I gonna take a quick break,

426
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: real quick though. And Catherine, to your point about the

427
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: pronouns being on the badge, I did do that once.

428
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: It was many many years ago, not my pronouns, but

429
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: I was working for a record store and it was

430
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 3: also a video It had a subsequent to video rental VHS.

431
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: You know, if you're familiar with VHS tapes, Okay, little

432
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: I had taken one of the available now stickers that

433
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: used to go on the new release VHS movies and

434
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 3: I put it on my name badge. I thought it

435
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: was a clever way to let the ladies know. And

436
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: that's how you and Melinda bad I was available now.

437
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 8: No.

438
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: I met Melinda way later. I think she had known

439
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: that I had done that. She probably wouldn't have gone

440
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: out with me also never worked. I did have one

441
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: single mom that would hit on me that I was

442
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: completely oblivious. It was only after she had ended up

443
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 3: moving that I had coworkers that came and said, you

444
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 3: know that mom was hitting on you every time she

445
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: came in, and I was just like, oh real, whoa.

446
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: So the label almost worked, but I was too stupid

447
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: to notice at the time. So there you go. You

448
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: know what, I think I'm getting the record this morning.

449
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: You're fascinating to talk to.

450
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 5: At least she knew your gender. If you didn't have

451
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 5: the pronouns on there, I mean, how would she know?

452
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: But she did. Catherine Johnson, thank you for reviving this

453
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: failed bit. I cannot thank you enough for getting me

454
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 3: out of that malaise that I was floundering in.

455
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, john And there's no way to call you a fascist.

456
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 12: Even when it comes to Star Wars. You side with

457
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 12: those rebel terrorists who blew up our magnificent death stars

458
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 12: and spad stations. Countless lives were lost in that rebel attack.

459
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 12: You know, I don't know how you can't not like

460
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 12: order in the galaxy rule them all.

461
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: That's what the Empire brings. Have a great day. I'm

462
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: a great point. I'm so glad that the narrative around

463
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: the rebels were the terrorists went away. You guys just

464
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: heard that, right? Oh yeah, I just or maybe it

465
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: hasn't gone away. I don't, I don't know. Twin City's

Speaker 13: Have business owner business Acakeara Lara, business owner as you

469
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 13: were described in the Precarious Estate documentary last night.

470
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: Also from American Experiment Catherine Johnson, Representative Max Reimer. The

471
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: trifecta of the Freedom Friday guess is complete, but business.

472
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 10: Owner, business owner ak. Yeah, no, So a couple of things.

473
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 10: Number one, shout out to Brenda Alberts. She's actually one

474
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 10: of the producers that reached out to me, which is

475
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 10: why I was even filmed. And the thing is is

476
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 10: that I think that the Cupchella Media Group, when they

477
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 10: put together the documentary, they wanted to sell the idea

478
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 10: that these things are just common sense without feeling that

479
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 10: they're going to evoke an emotional and ideological bend by

480
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 10: mentioning Republicans or you know, Donald Trump, or even Tim Walls,

481
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 10: like his name was precariously left out of the entire conversation,

482
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 10: which is which is so fascinating. But I will say that,

483
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 10: you know the conversation that I had when they came

484
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 10: to my house a film crew, almost you could have

485
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 10: taken everything I said because I talked about ideology, but

486
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 10: I pointed my finger firmly at the Democrats and I

487
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 10: broke down why they're responsible. They didn't want to air

488
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 10: that because I am the Republican National Committee man, so

489
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 10: maybe I poison the well. But they did have that

490
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 10: same conversation from the lady at the end, Becker I

491
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 10: think was her name. She basically hit the nail on

492
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 10: the head without specifically saying, this is all Democrats.

493
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: But it is.

494
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 10: And that's the reality, the thing that people don't want

495
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 10: to touch. But my hope is this is a gateway

496
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 10: drug to the truth because when you present this idea

497
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 10: that it's these Democrats socialists, the average person that says, oh, really,

498
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 10: that's a thing, and then they look at it, they're

499
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 10: going to be like, well, why hasn't Tim Walls came

500
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 10: out and disavowed the Democrat sociers, or why hasn't.

501
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: Why he endorsed Democrats?

502
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 10: And so that to me is the best hope is

503
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 10: that this is like a gateway drug to normies that

504
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 10: they can at least have the conversation. But I don't

505
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 10: think that Rick Cupchella is going to be able to

506
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 10: actually straddle this both sides. Is that all it's kind

507
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 10: of Republican's faults. And I was thinking about this morning.

508
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 10: Name one Republican policy in the state of Minnesota that

509
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 10: has led to this state being worse off. Name one

510
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 10: that's a right wing quote unquote bad thing.

511
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 4: There's none, you Every single one has been down. You

512
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: could have named some in the early two thousands.

513
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 10: Maybe maybe maybe even then, I would argue, what would

514
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 10: you name?

515
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: So we're going to return back to this conversation probably

516
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: in the eight o'clock hour. I want to make sure

517
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 3: we get to Governor Tim Walls and the comments from yesterday.

518
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: I have a few talkbacks that I want to spike

519
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: in here as well, courtesy of Lindall Realty. So we're

520
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: going to return back to this conversation after we talk

521
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: with Representative Tom Member, because I did definitely want to.

522
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 3: I want to dovetail off of some comments that you

523
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: that you made and kind of the difficulty it is

524
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: for the group like us to discuss that documentary that

525
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: aired last night on ABC. I had again a chance

526
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: to interview Rick cup Cello, who was the veteran journalist

527
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: in charge with with this documentary yesterday on the show.

528
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: So if you missed it, check out the iHeartRadio app podcast.

529
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: Because I think it's it's hard for us because we're

530
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: so close to the source material, and I just want

531
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: to stress again and we'll get back to more of this.

532
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: I think that nothing, nothing but good things can come

533
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 3: from this. I just want to make sure that I

534
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: had that overarching, you know, sort of view on it,

535
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: even though we have some internal I have some internal

536
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 3: criticisms on the edges of it.

537
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: I will just say before we move on, one thing

538
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: that I appreciated about the documentary was that rank choice

539
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 4: voting got totally thrown.

540
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: Under the bus. Dude like boom, Yeah, they're like this

541
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: is awful.

542
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 14: John, John, John, as we know, Sorry now now John John.

543
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 3: A computers operating John Now, John.

544
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 14: As we know Hitler invented the Volkswagen Beetle. We didn't

545
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 14: invent it. He commissioned it from Ferdinand Porsche. But and

546
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 14: as we know, you said you used to have a

547
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 14: Volkswagen but I did, so that makes you fascist?

548
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: Okay, boom I had, Well, I must be super fascist

549
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 3: because I had a fifty four Volkswagen Oval window, I

550
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 3: had a sixty five square back, and then I had

551
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: a ninety nine silver New Volkswagen Beetle.

552
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

553
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 10: I mean, I thought it was weird when I came

554
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 10: into the studio and I saw these weird signias that

555
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 10: reminded me of like a cross with bent edge.

556
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 3: You just stopped, you just you just stopped. Oh my,

557
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: you just stopped. You know what. I'm thinking. They're interesting.

558
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: I can give them to somebody else, want to know.

559
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 10: It's really funny though, Like, okay, not that I.

560
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: Mean, it's it's a very poor joke. But here's the thing.

561
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 10: What people are like, Oh, you call them communists and

562
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 10: you call them socialists. Tell me, is there any republican movement?

563
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 10: This says punch of communist, punch of socialists, that says

564
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 10: we need to you know, end their lives.

565
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: No.

566
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 10: So when we are painted as fascist, it's always with

567
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 10: the connotation that we are evil and we need to

568
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 10: be removed from society. And that's basically like a mainstream

569
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 10: talking point, whereas we don't say that about the right.

570
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 10: I personally don't want their ideology, but we don't run

571
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 10: around saying punch of communists, so like, it's so dumb

572
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 10: when they try to both sides. Oh you call them,

573
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 10: you call them communists because literally that's what they are.

574
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 10: But we're also not saying we need to, you know,

575
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 10: enact violence upon them, to remove them from office and

576
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 10: stop them at all costs, which I think we should

577
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 10: be saying.

578
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: We should remind like phil is, you can throw whatever

579
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: word you want. The problem with people like phil is

580
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: you can throw whatever word you want around, and you

581
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: throw fascist around all the time.

582
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 15: The problem is you don't know what the definition of

583
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 15: fascist is. You've never taken the time to look it up.

584
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 15: Go on the Google machine and look it up. You

585
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 15: don't know what it is.

586
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: You only know your Democrat gurus have told you to

587
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: throw it out there as much as possible.

588
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: The problem is when you go and look up fascist

589
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: now online, it's going to give you a completely skewed

590
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: definition of what it actually what it actually is. I

591
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: have one more on this particular topic.

592
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 8: Good morning all, Coach Corey here, I don't call in

593
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 8: about phil I don't think I've ever called in about Phil.

594
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: But Phil, you are a whiny You get up every morning,

595
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: get tune in, you learn stuff, but you call in

596
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: just to whine. You're just pathetic, little self helping, a

597
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: little self editing.

598
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 10: On listen, I love the fact that Phil does call in,

599
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 10: even though he has the world's worst takes. At least

600
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 10: he does actually call in, and he's maybe backed off

601
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 10: the ledge a little bit. Before it was just like

602
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 10: you couldn't even listen to him.

603
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: No, it's still pretty much you can't listen to me.

604
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 10: I'm trying to fill some proper I wanted to keep.

605
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: You don't see the other ones that I see do

606
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: not give the man any credits good morning. Those are

607
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: called lab quats lab coats. That's the term.

608
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 10: I was shouting that when I was driving.

609
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: Are you shouting loud? I was, all right, let's go here, guys.

610
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: First off robes from Channel five. According to this is

611
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: on a MINGE the State Budget Directory, there have not

612
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: yet been any interruptions to state operated programs and services

613
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: related to the shutdown. However, as the shutdown goes on,

614
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: programs will begin to exhaust, those services and services will

615
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: be impacted. But so far we're doing Okay. That being said,

616
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: Governor Tim Walls has a different thought on this. During

617
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: a potential political retribution from the White House, is the

618
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: federal government shutdown takes effect, Governor Tim Walls says that

619
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: he won't to change his tone on the President Trump,

620
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: saying he's not going to bend to the knee and

621
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: kiss the ring to acquiesce to the President. Now, I

622
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: have a rather large chunk of audio, Governor Tim Walls here,

623
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: So there's what we'll do. We'll start playing the audio.

624
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: Anybody that wishes for me to stop it so they

625
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: can comment something. Put your not yet he is already

626
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: raising his hands. If you put your hand up and

627
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: we will we will stop the audio so you may comment.

628
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: All right, all right, here we go.

629
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: You worried about the term administration marketing those stays.

630
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: Sockets of that.

631
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: Outworn Yeah, and and think about it. It's a great question.

632
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: Think about how rageous it is, Think about how not

633
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: normal that statement is. They continue to try and divide us,

634
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: They continue to try and make this case. So, yes,

635
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: I do worry about that. In just like states that

636
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: are making aggressive moves on climate that are lowering the

637
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: costs of energy for people and every single economist and

638
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: every single energy expert shows that they will raise the

639
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: cost by not allowing us to diversify that.

640
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I think, all right, so who

641
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: wants to first? Off, I'll just I'm gonna make one

642
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: good comment and then you guys can go, because I

643
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 3: know you guys want to chime in. I don't want

644
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: to steal your thunder. In no world does walls ever

645
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: get to complain about somebody else dividing individuals ever ever. Okay,

646
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: all right, so want's to go first? You're out, Catherine.

647
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 5: Okay, that's absurd. I mean every economist and every scientist

648
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 5: is that what he says? Every expert, every expert, No, false,

649
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 5: completely false.

650
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: Actually, you guys got a couple of experts at the

651
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: at American Experiment, right, A.

652
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 5: Couple of experts that will show that under two walls

653
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: energy is more expensive than ever because his friends in

654
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 5: wind and solar are the ones being propped up with subsidies.

655
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 5: I mean, this is absurd, and it's so classic because

656
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 5: they live in their own little circle that they won't

657
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 5: even bother to know that there are many experts who

658
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 5: know that's complete bous.

659
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

660
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 10: So the ultimate kind of way that Tim Walls does

661
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 10: everything is he trying to take the national talking point

662
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 10: from the Democrats, which is that Trump canceled all of

663
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 10: this quote unquote green energy funding that was going out

664
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 10: to these states, and so that's what he's trying to

665
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 10: piggyback off of and claiming that wind and solar is

666
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 10: the way that, you know, how we're going to get

667
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 10: to zero carbon emissions, and it's going to be really,

668
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 10: really cost effective. It's absurd, it doesn't actually live in reality.

669
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 10: But that's that's Tim Will's for you. He can only

670
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 10: revert back to his talking points.

671
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: I do worry about that. I think we've seen this

672
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: a vindictiveness or willingness to try and target, and this

673
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: whole idea that they see states as Democrats and Republicans,

674
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: or they see areas as red or blue, is simply

675
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: the most egregious violation of their oath to try and

676
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: take care. You have a responsibility to give your best.

677
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 10: What is he talking about the fact he goes after

678
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 10: Republicans all the time, and now he's like, oh, well,

679
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 10: the fact that he would say red states and blue states.

680
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 10: This is the funny thing about Democrats. And you mentioned

681
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 10: this earlier whenever a group comes out that ideologically is

682
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 10: very far to the left, as obviously clearly indicated by

683
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 10: the pronouns on the lab coat, you will not hear

684
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 10: the media call them left wing groups. Right if there's

685
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 10: any tinge of conservatism or right of center, they're always

686
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 10: going to be a right wing group.

687
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 3: And so when Tim.

688
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 10: Walls does this, he's like, they're going after these states,

689
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 10: like literally, because you don't say it out loud, because

690
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 10: you're lying, you are employing Sololensky's rules for radicals. That's

691
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 10: what you're mad about, is that Trump is saying the

692
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 10: part that you guys do all the time, which is

693
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 10: you target people on the right, and we're saying we're

694
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 10: going after your left ideology.

695
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 2: People who vote against you. They don't see it this way.

696
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: And I remind you all, this is not normal. This,

697
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: you know, the desire to find both sides do it

698
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: type of thing is it's pretty hard. I don't think

699
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: you've ever found another president who.

700
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 11: Said they're my enemy.

701
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to help, I don't want to do things,

702
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: and so I just I could spend we could spend

703
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: the rest of the morning tearing apart what he has

704
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 3: to say here. First off, he does his shorthand speak

705
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 3: where he spikes cynthy. This is not normal, and that's

706
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 3: dove tailing off of other comments relating to the shutdown.

707
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 3: But no, it is. It has happened before. The Democrats

708
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: have done it before, and they've decried Republicans for what

709
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: they believe were doing the same tactics that they're doing now.

710
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: And just to be clear, it's not a both sides thing.

711
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever heard of president attack his

712
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: political opponents like this.

713
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: Hey, do we not.

714
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: Recall the dark red, bloody speech that Joe Biden gave

715
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: that was basically a screed from the pulpit of the

716
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: president against mega Republicans. He took his presidency to basically

717
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 4: just do that. But that one speech alone from Joe Biden,

718
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: and we all know what it looked like, military background,

719
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: blood red background, just going after Republicans.

720
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: Over and over and over.

721
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 10: He has said that mega Republicans verbatim, were a threat

722
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 10: to the soul of this country, the soul of this country,

723
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 10: and then threat to democracy over and over. And let's

724
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 10: not forget that Obama his I RS went after any

725
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 10: organization that was right of center and that has been

726
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 10: fully exposed, it has been validated.

727
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 3: It's not a right wing conspiracy.

728
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 10: And then just look what happened the other day with

729
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 10: Google paying out President Trump because the Biden administration wanted

730
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 10: them to go after their political rivals. So it's just

731
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 10: absurd that this reality that Tim Walls, he every time

732
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 10: his mouth opens, it's a lie.

733
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 3: That's what comes out of his mouth.

734
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: I worry about that, and that's why our team is

735
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: continuing to watch.

736
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: The Trump administration will start firing instead firm with them.

737
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: And do you think I do?

738
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 8: I do?

739
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: I think it goes back to this question Tom that

740
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 2: it appears like, by.

741
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: The way, so that question from Tom nice tea up,

742
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: how concerned are you about all these firey to take place?

743
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: How concerned are you that people are about to lose

744
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 3: their livelihoods?

745
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: And by the way, if anyone can vaguely define fascism

746
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 4: in the year twenty twenty five, it's literally the notion

747
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 4: that we should right size government.

748
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 8: Right.

749
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, the federal government is one of, if not

750
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 4: the largest employer in Minnesota.

751
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 3: That's a problem they're trying to do that.

752
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: The disruption is there, the willingness of the speaker of

753
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: the House to blatant. I have seen every I have

754
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: seen Fox News even correct this issue. That trying to

755
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: tell the public we're in a massive misinformation campaign. The

756
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 2: President himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports

757
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: on healthcare. It is completely dangerous and it's really hard,

758
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: and I cannot express to you the concern and the

759
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: absolute baffle must and fear of our Aroman allies asking me,

760
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: is there struggle really going on?

761
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: Hey, hang on, I gotta stop. I gotta stop this.

762
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 4: I just want people to know, because we talk about

763
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: it all the time. That Walls just throws out topic

764
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: after topic after topic after topic and just tries to

765
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 4: somehow land the plane on this ocean of information. He

766
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: just gave you the last twelve seconds, Tim Walls from

767
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: AI videos to our European allies are scared to furloughing

768
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 4: federal employees. He just bounced around in twelve seconds to

769
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 4: like four different topics.

770
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: That is like definitionally word salid. It's a tactic. He

771
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 3: always he deploys this tactic all the time. It's a

772
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: tactic of confusion. His brain work like his brain in

773
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: his mouth, they do not align like they don't and

774
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: This is what got you know, this is why the

775
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: whole special session situation is even here, because he spoke

776
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 3: too quick before he thought about it in the wake

777

Speaker 5: directly tell him how to answer the question, and then

785
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 5: he goes on a spiel that doesn't make any sense.
