1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: Armstrong and and he Armstrong and Eddy. 4 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful. We had I don't know, 5 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 3: ten thousand or so people that were protesting and marching yesterday, 6 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 3: and virtually all of it was very peaceful expression of 7 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 3: First Amendment rights. 8 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: You're you're back, You're back, You're back. 9 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Yes, Mayor Fry explaining how everything's peaceful and fine, and 10 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: then natural sound from the streets where chaos and anger 11 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: and violence was raining. Yeah. 12 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: I don't like the direction this stuff is going. 13 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 4: Uh, and don't you assume it's going to get worse 14 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 4: than there's going to be more of these, That's what 15 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 4: I I. 16 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: Don't see anything that would indicate otherwise. 17 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 4: So anyway, I wish I had the name of who 18 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: tweeted this out pretty good. I'm sorry, I can't give 19 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 4: you your name, whoever tweeted this. I'm a mother, so 20 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: I'm going to comment right now. I will say this 21 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 4: exactly the way a mother thinks it raw, direct and 22 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: without pretending this is complicated. A thirty seven year old woman, 23 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 4: three kids, middle of a work week. The father of 24 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 4: those children is dead. She's the only parent left. The 25 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 4: one job she has above every cause, every protest, every 26 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 4: headline is getting home door kids. 27 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: What's she doing instead? She's out of state. 28 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: Other reports claim she lives there in the street, inner car, 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 4: blocking federal agents who are doing their job. 30 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: Not alone. 31 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 4: Her partner is right there filming her like this is 32 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 4: some brave little documentary moment around them, sirens blaring, people yelling, 33 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 4: pure chaos, manufactured chaos so agents can't do their lawful job. 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Her window is down. 35 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 4: She hears the orders, she understands the orders, She ignores 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: the orders. She then puts the car in reverse, still 37 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 4: doesn't comply. Then she puts it in drive, not park. 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: She moves forward into the agent. That's not confusion, that's 39 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 4: not panic. That's decision after decision after decision. Now put 40 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A 41 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 4: driver is already in an unlawful act, refusing commands in 42 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: a hostile, chaotic, loud scene, and now the driver uses 43 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 4: a vehicle to move toward you. You gotta split second. 44 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 4: You don't get the luxury of maybe she's just stressed. 45 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: You have to assume the worst. You have to think 46 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: of protecting other people, like the partner at the window, 47 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you 48 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 4: don't get to go home, or someone else doesn't get 49 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: to go home. So the agent fires after she makes 50 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 4: an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has 51 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated 52 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 4: she's willing to escalate. Now, imagine her three kids at school, 53 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 4: sitting there like any other day, not knowing their mother 54 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 4: is out playing street hero games for criminals in the 55 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible 56 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: for them. She didn't think about them. She didn't think 57 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: if I get arrested, who picks my babies up? She 58 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: didn't think if I get hurt, who raises them. She 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 4: didn't think if I die, they'd have nobody. She thought 60 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: about protecting the criminals. I guess she's talking about the 61 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: illegals in this case. Yeah, she thought about interfering with 62 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 4: federal agents. She thought about the cameras, She thought about 63 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: the crowd, She thought about the moment. There's no amount 64 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: of evidence, money, tears on TV or news spin that 65 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: can make this make sense as a mother, nothing about 66 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: this makes sense. 67 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Well, and she left out the smug glee that both 68 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the dead woman and her partner were showing how much 69 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: they were enjoying all of it. Oh yeah, man speaks 70 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: really to the psychology and the lack of grounding in 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: reality their activities. 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: They're LARPing, they're live action role playing. The grounding and 73 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: reality is right. 74 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: The way her partner is asking, come on, big boy, 75 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: you better get a sandwich. 76 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: You're gonna be here a while. 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: That is never the way you should be dealing with 78 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 4: people who have guns and the ability to kill you 79 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: if things go sideways. I mean, no smart person does that. 80 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 4: I mean, go back and watch the Civil rights era. 81 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: People who are up against you know, authority, bad authority. 82 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: In this case, they didn't talk that way, and they 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 4: talked in measured tones about their what they're trying to accomplish, 84 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: and why they were on the right side. 85 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: You don't do that, Hey, big boy, you better get 86 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: yourself a lunch. You're gonna be here a while. 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: That's you better feed that German shepherd if he's gonna 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: come and bite me. 89 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: No, you didn't hear. No, that's a dumb way to 90 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: handle this. Situation. 91 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: Back to this briefly, as a mother, nothing about this 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: makes sense at minimum machine where actions could get her 93 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: arrested at minimum, and she still chose it. She chose strangers, 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: she chose chaos, she chose lawlessness. I agree, man, what 95 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: kind of belief do you haven't a cause where you're 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: willing to go to that length where well, I might 97 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 4: spend the next couple of days in jail at like 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 4: best when I got a couple of kids, though. 99 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: How am I going to live my life? 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 5: This is nuts? 101 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: Who does that? Hardcore activists? 102 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: You're weird. Just because your hardcore doesn't mean you're right. 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: I think it's worth throwing in this from the extremely 104 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: reasonable definitely not very trumpy, Sarah is ger I thought 105 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: this was important forty six please, Michael. 106 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 6: Fifteen percent or so of in the line deaths are 107 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 6: caused by cars. Every officer is trained to avoid the 108 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 6: danger of a vehicle. There's no question you shouldn't have 109 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 6: been in front of that vehicle at that time. But 110 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 6: the Supreme Court has also said we look to the 111 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 6: totality of circumstances, including the fact that in that moment 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 6: he was in front of the vehicle, as that vehicle 113 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 6: is moving so legally. I think it is a relatively 114 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 6: clear case once it gets to federal court. 115 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 4: Wow of assault with a deadly weapon, Yeah, yeah. And 116 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 4: the whole she's there to support criminals. There's people being 117 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 4: drug off by ICE agents and situations that I don't 118 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 4: find good. I mean, originally when this whole started, the 119 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: thing started, it was the idea of we got a 120 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 4: bunch of rapists and murderers and all kinds of law 121 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 4: breakers here, gang bangers, gang bangers, that we need to 122 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: get out of the country here illegally. Almost everybody's for that, 123 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 4: and then it comes down to are we going to 124 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: arrest people who their only crime is there here illegally? 125 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: Some of you agree, Man, that gets that gets pretty 126 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: ugly pretty fast, since we've baked it into our societies 127 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 4: so much over so many decades. 128 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: Well, and as we've discussed earlier in the show, to 129 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: do it with maximum confrontation and abrasiveness, as opposed to, 130 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, President Joe Getty would say, all right, let's 131 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: accomplish this with as little like stirring up resistance as 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: we can. Let's do this quietly and in a dignified way, 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: because that way we'll be more effective. But instead and 134 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, Trump himself likes to whip things up. 135 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: He enjoys that. 136 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: But man, not helping the whole activist crowd thing that, 137 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: you know, kind of old joke that we do on 138 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 4: the right of You know, we all can't protest because 139 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: we all have jobs or kids to raise. We don't 140 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: have time to go down there and do that. Here's 141 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: somebody who has kids to raise, had things to do. 142 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: I can't even imagine. I got so many. 143 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: Things to do with a couple of kids today in 144 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: my job. I know what I'll do. 145 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: I'll go put myself in a position where I'm likely 146 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 4: to get arrested and have to go through that whole hassle. 147 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: I mean another state, so I'm a long way away 148 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: from my family anyway. 149 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: Who good does that? 150 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: You know, your point about the civil rights movement and 151 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: how you never saw that sort of smugness and taunting 152 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: and all. That's because I think that goes back to 153 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: the whole question of LARPing. They were playing the brave revolutionary, 154 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: but on their face it wasn't like a give me 155 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: liberty or give me death sort of transcendent courage. It 156 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: was that they the two gals, thought they won't do anything. Right, 157 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: we get to do this all day long and nobody 158 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: will ever do anything, so we can have it both ways. 159 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: You know what. It like the brave campus revolutionaries. 160 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: It reminds me of, on a much stupider level, the 161 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: people who taught athletes at games because they think they 162 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 4: can't do anything to me. So I can say absolutely 163 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: anything I want to this guy russe celebrities. I can 164 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: say anything I want because they can't and pretend that 165 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: I'm such a tough guy. I'll get in the face 166 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 4: of a six foot four inch two hundred and forty 167 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 4: pounds linebacker and telling me sucks at his job because 168 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: I'm sitting here safe. 169 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: He can't do anything. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's similar week. 170 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: It's a week it is. Indeed, we need more community organizers. 171 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 4: Remember Barack Obama was that, and a lot of people 172 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: would make jokes about that. We need more organizing in 173 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 4: communities for causes and laws and legislation, the slow process 174 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: of the way a democracy works. You don't like our 175 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 4: immigration laws or the way things are.

Not I'm going 179 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: to park my car in front of the agents so 180 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: they can't do it and then. 181 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: Berate them, right. 182 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: Or or I mean, my god, at least you know 183 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: it's misguided, it's stupid, it's dangerous, and it interferes with 184 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: law enforcement. But at least it's not like the hashtag 185 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: active some of the keyboard warrior who doesn't. 186 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: Do anything or risk anything. 187 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: But everybody is so desperate for a purpose for their lives. 188 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: And this is absolutely and everybody knows this related to 189 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: the going away of civic organizations and family, well, religion 190 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: and family more than anything.

The fact that this gal had three kids. 195 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: I think it was. 196 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: By you know, a handful of different relationships. It doesn't matter, 197 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, life has its ups and downs. But the 198 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: fact that she was still looking for a purpose in 199 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: her life, and that purpose was I'm a radical lefty activist. 200 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 2: You're right, it. 201 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter her situation with kids and a couple of 202 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: dudes she married then became a lesbian, married a woman, 203 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: or the fact that she's a poet. 204 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: None of that matters. 205 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 4: But if the media is gonna every single time they 206 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 4: mention her name, say a mother of three, Okay, you're 207 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: playing the game. 208 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: You're trying to. 209 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 4: Get sympathy out of this, Well, then I get to 210 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 4: fill in some of the holes that make it not 211 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: as sympathetic. Why do we leave it out because it's irrelevant. 212 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: It's not relevant to whether whether or not the thrice 213 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: married lesbian poets. Right, I don't think that's fair. But 214 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 4: if you're gonna go with the mother of three, okay, you. 215 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: Start magicling man, the little league coach, you started this game, 216 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: or we could. 217 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 2: Just leave it out because I don't get to. 218 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: Shoot you just for no reason, no matter what, no 219 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 4: matter how many marriages you have, whether you like poetry 220 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 4: or not.

But I might 234 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 4: listen to that because he's an interesting story in terms 235 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: of his show becoming popular. 236 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 237 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, just came across this from Gallup Pole. 238 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: This is pretty big. Gallup Pole shows that. 239 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: Now almost half we're just on the cusp of half 240 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: of Americans now identify as independent, not wanting to be 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 4: called a Republican or a Democrat. The two parties are 242 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 4: in a dead eight at twenty seven percent each. Half 243 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 4: the countries like I don't want to be have my 244 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 4: name attached with either one of those places. 245 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: If I were to design a test case for the duopoly, 246 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: that is the Democrats and Republicans in Washington, well across 247 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: their whole country, practically this would be it. Let's make 248 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: them less and less and less popular and see if 249 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: anything new emerges, or if they can just hold on 250 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: to power through the means that you know we've been 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: talking about for a long time. I mean, wouldn't you 252 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: think if it were like soft drinks or burger joints or. 253 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: Virtually anything that, or even like freaking. 254 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Libraries, if you had a couple of them and they 255 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: both sucked and nobody liked them, well, relatively speaking, nobody, 256 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't something new emerge in virtually every market. 257 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 4: Well, let's stick with the library. Then can we do 258 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: restaurants just because library? There's two restaurants. Yeah, half of 259 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: people don't like either restaurant, but there are only two restaurants, 260 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 4: and I do prefer one of the restaurants way more 261 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 4: than the other restaurant. 262 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: Sure, that's what the situation is. 263 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,239 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but no, no, no, I am slapping 264 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: the meal of ignorance out of your. 265 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: Hands as you attempted. I was enjoying the metaphor anyway. 266 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: But here's the here's my question, here's what I'm driving in. 267 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: I probably did it poorly, So you have that level 268 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: of dissatisfaction with the two restaurants. Yet those two restaurants 269 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: have a way to prevent any third restaurants. 270 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: Yah, I'm making the assumption that there will not be 271 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 4: more than two restaurants because that's just the way it is. 272 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: How come that's just the way it is doesn't work? 273 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean, how. 274 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: They worked the zoning laws or something like the way 275 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: Republicans and Democrats have worked the congressional seats to where 276 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 4: they guarantee something like ninety percent of them will stay 277 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: in the hands of the hours of these and they 278 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 4: fight over a tiny a portion of the others. 279 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: And the exhausting laws for getting on the ballot in 280 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot of places.

I just 347 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: got the flu shot and I feel kind of funky. 348 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: But anyway, and ran into him and they started arguing 349 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: about the immigration situation in general and the Minnesota deal 350 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: and the rest of it. And I think it's kind 351 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: of instructive for where people are in their opinions. But 352 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: let's start with sixty four Michael, and we'll go from there. 353 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 7: Why are you not arrested in criminals? Why are so 354 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 7: few of the people that you have rousted and routine 355 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 7: and reported people with the records. 356 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 8: They're all from.

You know, we can talk about that 360 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: if you want. She got a bit of a voice 361 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: to her, doesn't she? And it's Greg Bovino. Thank you 362 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: for the clarification. Go on, folks, double digit drops and grime? 363 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 8: You look have you looked at your statistics you don't 364 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 8: care about for the last since we've been connecting kind 365 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 8: of Yes, double digit drops and grime correlation not causation. 366 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: When way there that does cause that? Well, I don't know, 367 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: I saw, you don't know if the time was who 368 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: is a stander? 369 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 8: Don't drive a two thousand pounds missing and an ice agent. 370 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 8: You won't have an outbum that you don't agree with represented. 371 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: So I you know, I'm prejudiced because I agree with him, 372 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: and I knew going in I would. But saying she 373 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: was a bystander is brutally dishonest. 374 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 2: I would say she was obviously a participant. Yeah, you know. 375 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: A corollary to the Getty law that people don't make 376 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: terrible arguments because they're really really good arguments are in 377 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: the shower, or they're saving them for tomorrow. They make 378 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: them because that's all they got. Well, the tangent to 379 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: that would be people don't resist, don't resort, rather to 380 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: ridiculously dishonest characterizations of a situation, because you know, just 381 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: that they forgot what the honest characterization is. 382 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: They do it because they have to. 383 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: That's the only way they can make their point, or 384 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: they that's the only hope they have to make their 385 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: point successfully. 386 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: Rolling on not that second Amendment. 387 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 7: Well, I don't know if you heard, but we had 388 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 7: a shooting in a school here in Minnesota recently, and 389 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 7: this second Amendment, Well, I think that if we had 390 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 7: some common sense gun but gun violence. 391 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 8: Sense you well, yes, yes, exactly, And I think that's 392 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 8: definitely the problem there. When you use that violent rhetoric 393 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 8: around children. Yeah, i'd say that you probably are not 394 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 8: exercising a lot on them since their. 395 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 7: Representatives really well, all i've seen here in Minnesota is 396 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 7: people dying and feeding. 397 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: Children about the lives that are saved by guns. You 398 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: don't talk about that yet. So is this one of 399 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: those rorshot tests? 400 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 4: If some of my progressive friends were listening to this, 401 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 4: would she would they think she's owning him, because to me, 402 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: it seems like she sounds like an idiot. 403 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: He's making sense. 404 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an unhappy teenager arguing with a very 405 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: serious adult. And I almost I wish This wasn't edited 406 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: quite so heavily because I'd like to hear more context. 407 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Katie. 408 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: So the parts of. 409 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 9: It that I have cut out are long pauses where 410 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 9: every time that he says something and makes a clear point, 411 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 9: she goes silent, silent and pulls her phone out and 412 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 9: is like violently texting. 413 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 2: So there was something. 414 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 9: I don't know if she was looking stuff up, but 415 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 9: she was trying to get something going on her phone, 416 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 9: because she would shut down and go straight into our 417 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 9: phone for probably a minute and then come back at him. 418 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: Oh okay, interesting next clip. The end all is get 419 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: rid of guns. People don't die. It's fentanyl is still 420 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: killing people in Minnesota. Just wondering because it's illegal. 421 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 8: Because it's illegal the government, we don't hand out fentanyl. 422 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 4: It's fentanel killing people in Minnesota. 423 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: See see see. 424 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 10: This is where this is where, this is where you 425 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 10: need to count at ten. 426 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: Too easy. 427 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: She says this is dumb and walks away, his point 428 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: being there are laws against fentanyl like crazy, but people 429 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: still get them and it kills people and the rest 430 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: of it. More laws won't work well and again, and 431 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: we've made this point before, but I think it's worth 432 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: making again. 433 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 2: When you get gun laws passed, the left. 434 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: Refuses to enforce them because they're disproportionately forced, enforced against 435 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: people of color, and they refuse any enhancement for the 436 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: use of a gun or whatever. 437 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: I mean. 438 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: If I'm on the left, I would look around me 439 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: and say, hey, guys, guys, I've realized a problem we've got. 440 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 2: I don't get the self delusion. I truly don't. You 441 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: remember when. 442 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats overlapped like eighty percent? 443 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, good times. Yeah, h. 444 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 4: The funny mechanism exacerbates it. 445 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: There's no doubt. 446 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: Ah yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent. You know, it's funny. 447 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: I was pulled the other day by Emerson College. I 448 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: mentioned this on the air and they asked one of 449 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: the questions, and you know what I should have done, 450 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: screen captures of all of them. It didn't occur to 451 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: me at the time. What a numskull I am. But 452 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: one of the questions was one of the areas and 453 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: they asked several questions about this is what are the 454 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: greatest threats to our democracy? First of all, do you 455 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: believe our democracy is not threatened? Slightly threatened? Someone threatened 456 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: very threatened, or it's already over in Hitler's in the 457 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: White House. And I was somewhere kind of middling that. Yeah, 458 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: it's under stress, definitely. And they had like six or 459 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: seven choices what do you think is the biggest threat 460 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: to our democracy? 461 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: And one of the choices. 462 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: Or what's the most important thing that could be done 463 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: to help our democracy? And some of the choices were 464 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: about gerrymandering. They obviously wanted to know about some of 465 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: the gerrymandering that's been going on and what my opinion 466 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: was of that, and other folks opinions. But one of 467 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: the choices was repeal Citizens United. It makes Supreme Court 468 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: case about can corporations donate to political campaigns or packs 469 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: or whatever? And I thought, oh my god, if you 470 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: still think Citizens United is that's why money has perverted politics? 471 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: You know, the two thousand and three just called and 472 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: wants it's analysis back. I mean, come on, it's small 473 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: donations from individuals, ay cut her. I'm Ford motor companies 474 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: a hell of a lot more steady going and reliable 475 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: than the average you know American who gets whipped up 476 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: for ten minutes and it hits the send button. Yeah, exactly, 477 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: this is so dumb and walks away. I'm gonna do 478 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: that more in my life. Yeah, this is dumb. 479 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: I run into that a lot. 480 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: So the flu shot made you feel sick, You didn't 481 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 4: feel like you got the flu. 482 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: A little bit. Yeah, yeah, mostly I'm just exhausted. But 483 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: my body has mounted an immune response. It's a good sign. 484 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: I got a good vital immune system. It's ready to go, 485 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: come on, bringing on diseases. 486 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 4: How often does the flu vaccine make people fluish? Most 487 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 4: of the time, pretty frequently. 488 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 2: I don't know. 489 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: My blushing bride got it a few weeks ago and 490 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: she felt nothing. Of course, you know, does have the 491 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: immune system of I like a bull moose. 492 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: Well, so you're portraying it. So it's a good thing. 493 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: If you get sick, that means it's working. 494 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and if you don't, necessarily bad thing if 495 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: you don't get much of a reaction. But yeah, the 496 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: reason you have a reaction is your body says, oh 497 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: a pathogen yes, and fires up its responses. The idea being, 498 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: if it comes to you for real, it's already got 499 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: a standing army. Your body's already has id'ed the enemy 500 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: and is ready to fight. It, so, Yeah, it's fine, 501 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: little extra strength islon Allen, I'm back in the game. 502 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 4: You don't think they put a chip in here or 503 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: something when you got the flu shot?
