Christ from American experiment.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So my body is in Italy right now.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, that's awesome. No, we're very we're very happy for you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We look forward to all of the photos in our
group chat, and we're going to talk group chats a
little bit later on in the show. We are Yeah,
we are good times. We have a we have a
story out of Miami Dade, Florida, of a group chat
gone bad amongst some some Republican UH College students subjectively bad,
subjectively bad.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Never heard that story before? Did this not just happen?
Like three weeks ago? The same thing again, is it?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Okay, it's the same outrage every.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Time with the same demographic group of young men that
are racially actually all over the place.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's not like it's just young white men. But yeah,
it's young men. This is this has been going on
for the ages because jen z humor is so this
is nothing new wild Yeah. But what I have with that, though,
is I have a I have an article that lays
out proper group chat etiquette. Hmmm. So we'll run through
something because we have our own group chat and doesn't
get saucy by anything for the most part on occasion,
(01:37):
not in the Miami Dade, Florida college student certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think we're all smarter than that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But we will run through some of that group chat
that group chat etiquette coming up now before we get
into the legislative session, let's go back to the big
news story of the day. I have one more clip
from Governor Tim Walls, and I'm just kind of curious
to get everybody's thoughts. So Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority
of Leader Steve Scalise said, yes, yesterday they are confident
that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican out of Oklahoma can
(02:05):
lead the Department of Homeland Security now that Christy Nome
has been put in a different position. President Donald Trump
announced on True Social yesterday afternoon the DHS Secretary Nome
was reassigned to oversee a new Western Hemisphere security initiative.
He said Mullen was his nominee to replace her at
(02:25):
the helm of DHS. So Mark Wayne Mullen is going
to do an extraordinary job in his in that position,
Johnson told Newsmax, a congressional correspondent on Capitol Hill, saying
that he is well suited for it. So I talked
about this at length in the first hour of the show.
The Trump administration has always shown that if there's an
(02:46):
individual in charge of a particular job and that person
is no longer functioning the way that they should within
that position, or may not be the right person for
that position, they show, you know, he has no hesitancy
to go and put them in a different place. And
that certainly has happened here with Christy Nomes. She may
have gone and done this to herself. Going back to
(03:06):
and I'll play the clip here briefly. This is with
there was a hearing that took place earlier this Week
with Christy Nomes. She was being questioned by Senator Kennedy
and the issue of her spending some two hundred million
dollars on this advertising camp campaign came up. She said
the President Donald Trump had signed off on it. Trump
said that he didn't. My thought is more than likely
(03:27):
there was an approval that took place within the administration,
probably not aware of the specificity of what this was
being spent on. Let me play this quick clip. This
might be the moment where Christie nom lost her gig.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
I'm I asking you a chart interrupt, But the President
approved ahead of time you spending two hundred and twenty
million dollars running TV EDGs across the country in which
you are featured prominently.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He did? Yes, Okay. And one thing.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Senator I think would be helpful to know is how
effective that communications has.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Been that overwhelming give in your name recognition. I mean,
I personally, just I mean to me, it puts the
President in a terribly awkward spot and it and I'm
just I'm not shying, You're not telling the truth. It's
just hard for me to buy you know, I'm the president.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And that I felt that Christy Noome did a good
job in her position. I will say that her desire
to perpetuate a certain image has been a bit of
her undoing throughout this entire process. But before we move
on to legislative matters, and I have a clip from
Walls commenting on the removal of Christine Nome.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He was talking with Jens Hockey on MS.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Now, I do want to ask our Freedom Friday guests
their thoughts on it, And Hey, k Kamar, your quick
thoughts on this movie.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, my quick thoughts are I think that Christen Home
did a great job. But let's be very very clear.
I think Christine Home is a tryhard I think that
she was trying so hard to be like, I support
President Trump, that she would just like on reflex support
everything that she ever said or did. And I think
that that was probably to her fault. So she's a
(05:15):
Trump loyalist, no question about it. But it's like, Okay,
you can be a loyalist, but also just realize sometimes
people make mistakes. And so that's kind of where I'm
at with Christine Home. I think that she did a
really good job. Obviously, the fact that the President is
giving her a new title of you know, special Envoy
to help protect the Western hemisphere and basically be the
(05:36):
arbiter of the.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Don Rohe doctrine.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But I just think she was too much of a
try hard man and sometimes you have to take that
l and I think that a lot of people were
not liking the way that she was handling herself.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Yeah, it makes me nervous when he I think President
Trump does sometimes buy into like the left wing narratives
like oh.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, Christy's doing such a bad job, blah blah.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Blah blah blah, Like, yes, she maybe made some missteps,
but I thought overall she was doing a fine job.
So I get worried when I think he buys into
that narrative a little bit. But you know, ultimately whatever,
I think the new guy will do a good job
and Cricket gets the last left, I think it's more
a healthy signal that the goals and the priorities and
(06:17):
the smooth operations of the Trump administration are more important
than any individual person, and he's not going to leave
anyone in a position of power who's not running it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
As well as they could be. I think again, I
think she did a fine job. But if she, for
whatever reason, was holding that office back, it was time
to move her somewhere else because you have to keep
things running smoothly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So Governor Tim Walls desperately trying to once again shore
up any sort of positivity he can after you know,
having his butt handed to him once again during this
committee hearing earlier in the week, it was talking with
the friendliest of friendly news sources, and that would be
Jen Zakim over at MS now and had this to
say last night, and.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
So I can't say it enough. Don't give them any money,
don't firm a DHS secretary, continue to drag them in
in front of you and put the guardrails around. If
a DHS ice border patrol, whoever it is, federal agent
is involved in the killing or violence or violating constitutional rights,
(07:18):
the states have to be able to be part of
that investigation. And at this point in time, they're stonewalling us.
And if you recall on the third shooting we had
here with the gentleman shot and a leg she went
after that that was a planned attack. And that night
she said she helped me accountable as a domestic terrors
for encouraging them.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, lo and behold, they were lying. And now those folks.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Are supposed to be under investigation, but our folks were
driven off that scene with the gas that was being
thrown by ice. So there's a lot of unanswered questions.
And I think the way this White House operates is
we'll get rid of here, we'll talk about something else,
we'll flood the zone, and people will forget about it.
I think what I'm saying to Christynom is we will
never forget. We will never until we get justice for
(08:01):
the people that were harmed in this. And if we don't,
and all the rest of your listeners, this is coming
to your state. We were, we were a testing ground
and the people of Minnesota pushed back.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But they'll just they'll just do it in the dark. Well,
first off, don't threaten me with a good time. I
just want to say that upfront. The level of gas
lighting is really incredible for him to say, stonewalling on
anything regarding how much he has can he continues to
hide from the federal government.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Relating to fraud, relating to the voter roles.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
He tells the story of the guy that got shot
in the leg, makes up his own silly word solid
of phrases without providing any of the of the necessary
you know, details whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And the last thing I'll say, and I'll let you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Comment on this, is the fact that, dude, you lost
all credibility to go and push back on the federal
government regarding the ICE agents and their actions when you
disconnected local law enforcement and the state from the actions
of the federal government. Does it sit back and now
say we want to be able to hold people accountable?
Was like, do you are the one that cut off
Minnesota from the federal government? You only have your yourself
(09:05):
to blame.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And the funny thing is Democrats do this all the time.
They tell on themselves. So he just accused that Republicans
are trying to change the narrative make people forget, but
we will never forget.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's quite literally what the.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Democrats their entire like, that's their operating principle. They will
lie and then they will shift the narrative, and then
they hope that everyone forgets about the thing that they
just lied about. They do it all the time. Republicans
aren't trying to do that. It's just very very plain
and simple that what ICE did in Minnesota was effective.
(09:39):
Sure the left it was kind of their rallying point,
and they don't want people to forget that because I
will say that the normally response was, ah, I don't
really like the way that ICE has been acting because
they were able to capture that narrative. But now that
we have actually said, okay, we've scaled down our operations
because we got this cooperation, people are starting to be like, Okay,
(10:01):
it wasn't that bad the way that they tried to
portray it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So we got to take a quick break. I want
to get the thoughts of our other guests in studio.
We have Grace Katy and Catherine Johnson from American Experiment.
RNC Committeeman Ak Kamara will get their further thoughts on
what Governor Tim Walls had to say.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Let me leave you with this though, as we.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Set up to talk about the legislative session, and this
is related to ice and fraud and why they were
here to begin with investigating fraud along with those that
are here in the country illegally. The DFL legislative agenda
has been filled with ice related bills. A lot of
those have already fallen by the wayside, but listen to
this and we'll talk about it coming up at length
(10:38):
in the next segment. But Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto
clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, saying that
we should be studying the benefits of shop lifting and
retail theft. Listen to this and we'll comment coming up,
and listen to your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app next
here on Twin City's News Talk several lesson on the
(11:00):
Safety Committee.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
Yesterday there was a presentation of a group seeking to
change how we address organize retail theft, and it actually
had not occurred to me to ask it probably would
have been good to make sure that they would study
sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft,
because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of
using that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe it's you know, assisting them in some way.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
I mean, these folks were describing people violating the law,
but I suppose it could be useful to look into that.
But ultimately it's a policy question, right, we do want
to make sure when we have a long place where
we're enforcing it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So I am a hault, Please talk Ayea. Eleven thirty
FM one O three point five and on iHeartRadio. So
we'll get back to in just a second. Here on
Twin Cities News Talk, it's a Freedom Friday. My name
is John Justice, and the master control booth next door
is Sam and Studio. We have R and C Committee
(11:53):
man Ak Kamara. We have Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating
from American Experiment. Well get back to the thoughts of
a Pinto saying that they should be studying the benefits
of shoplifting and retail theft. We're going to be without
both Catherine and Grace for a couple of weeks. You
guys are going on vacation. A moment ago on the
headline on TV with Fox News was that Iran has
(12:15):
we talked. We were talking about this earlier. They've attacked
twelve other countries in the Middle East, So the headline
popped up. I look over at Grace. She's staring intently
at the screen and was just letting you know Italy
wasn't on the list.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
So just.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Don't John like she's worried that they protected Italy because
that's where she's heading.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Later on this morning, she was.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
Watching the screen like how we used to watch the
school closures right for snow, that's what she.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Was looking at.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
The nightmares I'm having over flight disruptions, I pray.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I watched her welcome. I saw the headline and like
I was saying, we attacked them, and then you know,
Iran just goes and attacks everybody else.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And I'm like, I bet she's worried.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We're not.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
We're not praying for east around here. We're praying for
Grace's trip Oka.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, we are so guys.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
At least we know it's Italy, so if anything happens,
they'll be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
My gosh, we're so sorry. We are not involved. We
will gage like that, you know, like they won't. They
won't keep it going.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No drones to Italy.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Just could just keep those keep those pathways clear.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I would not want to be getting on a plane
right now.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's just me. You can go to Spain, that's just
I don't like to get on a plane anyways.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The first overseas trip, I haven't told the story in
a long time, but I'll tell it now.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The first overseas trip I ever took. This goes back
to nineteen ninety eight. I was going to England to
see my favorite band Depeche Mode because my bucket list
item was to go see them over over in England
and I from southern California. And then we were I
think we were in Toronto, Canada. Got on a seven
forty seven. Never been on the seven to forty seven before. Right,
(13:51):
it's just huge. I hate flying already. It was way
worse back in ninety eight than it is now. I'm
better now. Ninety eight it was I had horrible anxiety
getting on a plane. So on the seven forty seven,
I'm there with my girlfriend. The plane starts rumbling down
the runway and again seven forty sevens are massive. Right,
I am white knuckling it the whole way, the airliners.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Going down, picking up speeder.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And right the nose picks up. I can like, okay,
we're getting ready to go. We're getting ready to go.
And right as the rear wheels are about to lift
off the tarmac, bam, it hits like a seam in
the runway. Slam. Lights go out in the plane and
I scream like a little girl. I'm convinced because I
(14:41):
believe that everything happens for a reason, that God did
that to put everybody else at ease. On the plane
because I'm like, well, that guy's screaming because everybody was
just laughing at me.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
The girlfriend was not Melinda because I was one.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, it was not.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
It was not.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was not Melinda.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It was it did last after the screen.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
No, no, we didn't. Yeah, that was the As a
matter of fact, it wasn't all that much longer after
that relationship bended and I met and I met Melenda.
So so there you go. Everything happens to Everything happens
when it comes to traveling.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
The only thing that I've ever had a problem with,
like when you travel these long flights, is I hate
to fall asleep because.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm self conscious about my snoring.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Okay, and I can fall sleep anywhere, like right now,
if I laid in this corner, give me sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Seconds, I'm out. You guys can just continue to do
what you're doing. I'm out. That's a good gift. I
will be snoring. And so it's so weird.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I every like long slight that I've been on, I
just stay up and I power through it, slam and
energy drinks because.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I don't want to disrupt other people. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I cannot sleep on them. I can I've never been
able to sleep on a plane.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I can sleep on planes, I just make really ugly
faces when I say so.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm self conscious about that.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I firmly believe I don't snore, but for my own pride,
I try not to sleep on planes.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So we're a little short on time. I want.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Here's what I'll do. We'll play the clip.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I want to sneak in a couple of talkbacks, and
then we'll dive into it for they're with our Freedom
Friday group here on a Twin City's news talk But again,
here is during the legislative session this week. This is
Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto saying that we should be
studying the benefits of shoplifting and retail theft. And let
me just let me make one comment. We'll play the
talk back, take a quick break, and get back to it,
but let me just say this. This is all a setup,
(16:20):
by the way, to provide the excuses relating to the
fraud that's been taking place in the state. Where that's
where this idea is coming from, is that you have there.
They're going to try to more directly point two, Well,
the individuals committing this fraud, you know, maybe we should
be providing other benefits to them and they wouldn't need
(16:41):
to be committing this fraud. This is where all of
this system is stemming from. So it makes me sick. Yeah,
So here is Dave Pinto. We'll play a few of
your comments and we'll get back to more of this
here on a Freedom Friday twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Several lesser on the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was
a presentation of a group seeking to change how we
address organize retail theft, and it actually had not occurred
to me to ask it probably would have been good
to make sure that they would study sort of the
benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people
are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe
it's you know, assistant in some way. I mean, these
(17:15):
folks were describing people violating the law. But I suppose
it could be useful to look into that. But ultimately
it's a policy question, right, we do want to make
sure when we have a long place where we're enforcing it.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
So, Hey, good morning, John, how you doing to spoiler
burn out of the pencil comments and the legislature?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Wow, I didn't know the boosters had a lobby who No.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
I know it's a Freedom Friday at all, but did
I hear that correctly? The benefits of shoplifting, my dude,
That's the whole reason why there's like a division of
people an industry dedicated to loss prevention because it is
not good.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
These people are whacked.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And speaking of that loss prevention.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
Good morning, John, Hopefully you're having a great day and
have a great weekend. I've been working in retail loss
prevention for almost thirty years. I started out as the
guy sitting in the back of the store watching cameras
catching shoplifters and have worked my way up ever since.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The amount of.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
People who do the shoplifting for need is very small
compared to those who do it for profit. I hope
this doesn't catch any legs.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Have a great day, Good morning, and I love your show.
Freedom Friday. Twin City's News Talk in studio with us
Grace Keating and Catherine Johnson from Center of the American
Experiment American Experiment Podcast. We have RNC Committeeman Ak Kamaraw.
My name is John Justiceon and the master control booth
(18:49):
next door is Sam. Now, before we get back to
thoughts on Dave Pinto saying that we should be, you know,
looking into the benefits of shoplifting. We also have comment
from another representative, Athena Hollins, who might be one of
the best examples that I've seen as of late of
saying the.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Quiet part out loud.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Like the level of honesty that she actually, you know,
puts forward, it's.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Kind of shocking on to different levels.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
One quiet part out loud being said in two a
democrat and I'm kind of a socialist actually being completely honest.
So we'll get to this in just a moment. Before
we do, though, we don't have to get to your
talk back of the day. Your talk Back of the
day is brought to you by mini Leaf and minileaf
dot com. Head on over to m I N N
E l eaf dot com and get yourself the nightgummies
for me. You know, March is a sleep month. If
(19:37):
you even realize this or not, and this one in
three people get poor sleep. That's because those people need
Mini Leaf Nightcummies. I'm telling you right now, all right,
They do bring you your talk back of the day,
and this is it.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Great show, John, always good to listen to. The Friday
fun Fest that's it. I don't have anything philosophical or
facetious to add, but I'm just one what Monday Show
topic is going to be.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So with that, I actually went ahead and put together
a list. Now that we're into the final segment, I
know the stuff we're not getting to today.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
On Monday Show, we.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Will be talking about how voting for Republicans legitimately saves lives. Yes, okay,
this kind of goes back to the conversation we were
having earlier about court judges. So early stems from that.
The state is offering tips on how people here in
Minnesota can take advantage of paid family medical leave. Oh good,
so you know they want to make sure that many
people get in on that fraud as possible. And then
(20:30):
also on Monday Show, we'll talk about how six Flags
is selling off a valley fair for three hundred and
thirty one million dollars. That's it pocket change. It doesn't
seem it doesn't It doesn't seem like it's a lot.
They are going to stay open during the summer though,
So that's what I hear. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Are they going to like do some some improvements?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I was whoever takes over the new whoever the new
ownership is, I hope.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
So so the center of the American Experiment theme park.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It flags over the American Experiment, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
And you can just call it America Land or Freedom Land,
Freedom Land, Freedom.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I love that. I'll pitch it. We don't quit hit
three million dollars yet.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
No, No, you just got to find an investor, yes, that.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Believe in you. That's you can just keep the name,
but just add to us like a valley fair and
just this.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It'll get it because fair. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
There you go. Ah, was just I was trying to
do a play on where then you know what, we'll
do that, you know, and we'll give myself this to
you know, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
To back to something reasonable by r.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
John.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Before you continue, we should save that list and then
include we should then update it based on all the
stuff that's gonna happen today and over.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
The weekend, which is what the actual promo says. So
I just wanted to put that. That was your talk
back of the day, by the way, brought to you
by Mini Leaf and minileaf dot Com. Let's get back
to the ridiculousness of Dave ben too, where he suggests several.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Less are On the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was
a presentation of a group seeking to change how we
address organize retail theft. And it actually had not occurred
to me to ask it probably would have been good
to make sure that they would study sort of the
benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
And if we're going to study the quote unquote benefits
of shoplifting, then why don't we study the real benefits
of shooting shoplifters, Because if we shoot shoplifters a lot
of shop we don't do that because of our clients society.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well that's a bit.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Hey, if we're going to allow people to shoplift, we
should allow people to shoot.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, no, that's not no, that's arrest them, get their
products back, you know, don't let them out the door.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We should you know, stop short.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
As best as possible of physical violence or violence with
the firearm. Well that's a.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Good point, though, you know, there's people who get murdered
who do bad things as well. Should we be studying Well, well.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's upside, that's good.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That isis that is a good point as well.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I find it so funny that Like, so back during
COVID and the George Floyd Riots, New York Times and
a bunch of leftists basically came up with this idea
that in defensive shoplifting and in defensive looting, that somehow
allowing this to happen is the ability of small impoverished
communities that have been taken advantage by the capitalist system
(23:28):
to get their get back, right, Like that that's the
entire premise, And so it's funny that Pinto is still
pushing this idea that you potentially need to look at
the benefits of why people would break the law. And
it's just like it has been so memified of how
ridiculous this is. Is that anytime you see a story
about a young non white male committing a crime or
(23:50):
a violent actor, like he was just he just needed
to get some sneakers for his family, right, Like, it's
become memified because it's absurd.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And you're also taking away all agency.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
So you're telling me that it's okay to go and
rob from a store and steal from a store, that
there's positive benefits because somehow you just deserve it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Like that's insane.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No one believes that that's even true, and it's just
funny that Pento's pushing.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That still well, and there's the criminal justice side of it,
for sure, but there's also the anti business side. I mean,
if this was put out as a piece of satire
to show just how anti business.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Especially anti small business, the.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
State of Minnesota and the dfl IS, I would believe it.
If I saw this in like the Onion or the
Babylon b or something, I would not bat in eye.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But they are. They just have no care or regard for.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
The people who are out there trying to make a living,
trying to keep the economy moving, running their businesses.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They say, well, we should.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Probably just let people steal from them, because the person
who steals it might need it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They might need more than me.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I say to the point that Dave Pinto, I am
calling for him to remove his last name as Pinto,
and it's going to be Dave Lima because Pinkel beans
actually taste good. Lima beans are disgusting. Wow, you know
what you fascinated? You don't get that very often either.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Not ready for that. I have something to say, but
I'm not sure what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why you regather your thoughts? Really a lot of r
and d went.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Into that, spent a lot of time on that. I
have no room to talk about.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
That, almost as much as let's not be reminded of that.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
We're in a new studio now where that's the past
and live in the now. Turn the turn the page, listen.
This is an extension of the way that democrats want
people to believe that individuals are inherently good. And if
they're inherently good, then somebody who was going and doing
(25:48):
something bad must have been motivated by some extraneous force
on the outside that put them in a position to
do something that we have only labeled as being wrong
and it legal and criminal, when the truth is because
people are ultimately good at heart, we need to go
and identify the root cause of what drove them to
that and understand that they simply are just trying to
(26:09):
better to better their lives. It's the same excuse you
used to get with the border. People that are coming
into the country illegally are just trying to better their lives,
most of them, to which I always say know all
of them are.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It's how they want to better their lives.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Do they want to come here and take advantage of
everything this country has to offer and embrace American exceptionalism
and assimilate even though you're here illegally, you have to
be held accountable. Or do they want to come in
because they're trafficking human beings or children or drugs. It's
the same type of ridiculous mentality that this moron is
presenting during the legislative session.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
And it turns out that in fact, everybody that does
a thing that takes away from someone else's freedom is
doing it because it's better for them.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Like if I rob.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
From you, I get what you have, it's better for me.
I don't really care what happens to you. So if
I want to harm someone that I feel has done
me in justice.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's good for me. It's like, well, thank you for
proving the thing.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That we all know. People are selfish people and it's
part of our nature, So we need to have laws.
Because of selfish nature, people will just take everything they can,
and of course it's better for them.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
They wouldn't do it. People don't do things that aren't
good for them.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
But this is why we have the fraud problem we
do in Minnesota is because of this mindset of redistribution
by any means necessary, they don't care if it someone else.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's well, those people probably needed it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
That's why we have this problem with fraud we do
in Minnesota because this is actually how the Democrats feel,
and it's nuts, but it's how they feel.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And as talkbacker is actually on the same wavelength that
you are, Catherine.
Speaker 15 (27:47):
Hey, John, I wanted to follow up on the caller
who indicated he was from a loss prevention and that people,
the overwhelming majority of people steal because they do it
for profits. I wanted to say that that is the
exact same reason why people commit fraud.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They do it for profit, not for need.
Speaker 15 (28:09):
We have program upon program in the state that can
help with.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The Yeah, yeah, he's absolutely he's absolutely correct.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Well, and it's important to clarify to John, like you said,
this comes from a belief on the left that people
are inherently good and if they're doing something bad, they
have a good reason for doing it, and that's not true.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
They believe certain in groups are inherently good and others.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Straight white men definitely not inherently good. Anyone born into
a position of privilege in the United States, whether that's
white privilege or straightlip privilege, they know they are not
inherently good. They are inherently bad, and they are actively
trying to oppress those other groups.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, it really is only the groups that are most
politically expedient for them to go and exploit, because more
than likely they're going to end up voting for Democrats. Now,
this is what's amazing about this next clip because in
the middle of this, I think it was I don't
know if it was the same hearing or a different hearing,
but they were talking about a bunch of m mimigration
issues and thankfully they've all fallen by the wayside during
the legislative session. But Minnesota State Representative Athena Hollins basically
(29:06):
goes and says the quiet part out loud, and it
plays right into exactly what Minnesota Representative Dave Pinto was And.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I can't explain it to you any better than that, Like,
I'm coming at this from my heart and not from
my brain.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I am talking to people on the streets and they
are telling me they are scared.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world, because
that's how Democrats operate. They come at it's the bleeding
heart liberal. I mean, that's why, that's that's why that
phrase exists. They look at it.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
From their heart, not with their brain, and I think
it's just such a manipulative tactic to use, but that
is what the left does.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They're like, if I feel.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
This way, and I can make you feel this way,
then that means that we need to be more fair
and we need to understand someone else's viewpoint or their
stand And I've said, like, yeah, I need a Ferrari.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So if my need to have a Ferrari outweighs.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Your need to run a business, I guess my need
trump shows it's always been that absurd of a premise.
And I just think that when Athena Hollins or Dave Lima.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Decides that they're going to like justify, you're not going
to I'm not gonna let go. Are not going to justify.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
They're gonna sit there and justify shoplifting or you know,
not enforcing federal laws. Ultimately, they just want to trick
people into feeling bad for people that actually have agency.
Illegal aliens have agency, they knew they were breaking the law.
They need to be held to account. If you decide
to shoplift or steal things, you need to be held to.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Account because you have agency. You made that choice.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
If we have a talkbacker, that's going to make you
feel better.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
Okay, all right, Well Aka, I think his name is
actually pretty appropriate since his ideas, like the Pentos, when
in a mild accident, will likely explode and go open slights.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
Ak Kamara just had the talk back of the day
discussing Pinto versus climate beans.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, I know, man, seriously, what do I know? Why
do I why? Why shout out to the talk backer.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was going to go that route with the exploding Pinto,
but I decided to go with the chili because I
figured maybe my reference is a little dated for you
zoomers that you don't know that there was a vehicle
called the Pinto and basically if it got.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Rear ended, it would blow up.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah literally, yeah, because I put the engine in the
back of the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Incredibly it looked.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It's a car that looks like somebody like somebody had
heated it and then stuck like a pump in the
beginning of it and then blew it up like a
balloon and then turned it off. Very ugly. It's incredibly ugly.
It's very bulbous, is what I'm trying to say so
very bulbous. The Pinto was a very bulbous car. Interesting, Yeah,
that's sure, that's your podcast retitle bulbous, bulbous car, bulbus
(31:46):
The Pinto was a bulbous car.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
I feel like that was your word of the day
calendar and you just got that.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
In keep this great idea. Let's just leave people steal
from the stores.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
That then when the stores close up, they can cry
about we don't have any place you can shut up.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
This is what now you have. They'll have the government.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Open stuff up.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Let's get it that liberals are in shite. You have
good crime at all.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Any man, good good luck landing that hot air balloon.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Sounds like he's about to be taken off somewhere.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Seriously jet sitting.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, maybe he's going to Italy. Maybe he's gonna be
on your flight.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
And that's the funny thing is like grace, like I
saw you, you lit up. They're gonna then push the
Minneapolis as food deserts. And that's because of capitalism and
white supremacy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's why there's no walmarts here.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It's like, well no, because you have representatives that are like, yes,
go and steal. You're justified and we're not gonna charge
you to any crimes, like what business wants to operate
at all under those conditions because.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Crime ultimately hurts poor people disproportionately. That's the other thing
that's important to remember. They say these things, they say
they care about the poor and the people who are stealing,
but crime by and large hurts peopleople who are worse
off socioeconomically by far.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
So it's it's not even they're not even doing what
they claim to do.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Morning one and all. Dan here formerly from me Dina.
Speaker 17 (33:15):
He notice that a speech pattern of Representative Pinto is
to throw in the word right once in a while,
as if you're clarifying yourself as yes, I'm right.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I like his comment. I'm more just curious. He's formally
from a Dinah. So where is he now? Where is he?
Speaker 14 (33:37):
Where's he from?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Where is he from now?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah? Undisclosed location, just.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
About Dinah roots he's talking about, like voice patterns formally
from a Dinasbody knows, Well.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
There's one thing I know about people from a Dina
is they always end up back in Dina.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So I'm sure he'll make it.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, okay, all right? Is that is that it's one
of the It's one of those places where you can't
you can't, you can't escape.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
It's it's like it's like a journey, like you want
to leave the caked eater status, and then you realize
that it's better.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
To be a cake eater than a not cake.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
You get hungry for cakes.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Cake, so you got to come back. I'm glad you
guys brought up food because we're out of time. We're
not gonna be able to talk about racist college group chats.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I'm sorry because looking at the clock, there simply isn't
enough time we can talk about this ingenious girl scout
who from New Jersey taking cookie sales to New Heights.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You know what she wouldn't did?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
She set up her cookie stand right outside of a
popular cannabis dispensary.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I's gonna say that as a joke. Yep, she actually
did that.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
She did it. Brilliant entrepreneur South Jersey based a troop
recently Learned, teamed up with the Daylight Dispensary at Mount
Laurel to sell their beloved cookies at the cannabis shop
this cookie season. Daylight Dispensary owner Steve Cassidy told the
New Jersey dot Com that you use cannabis and you
get the monchies.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
There's a connection.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Between snacks and cannabis, and the fact that we don't
have to pretend it doesn't exist anymore is really awesome.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
It wasn't a fish partnership.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, love I love it. Daylight became Mount Laurel's first
dispensary when it opened in twenty twenty three. Cassidy said
the idea was proposed back in twenty four, but it
was turned down by the Girl Scouts of Central and
Southern New Jersey. Of all the places that are going
to turn that down, I'm kind of shocked that it
was turned down in New Jersey to begin with.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, kind of figured that would have been Yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Do it right the Girl Scout council that oversees the
Troops in the region. When the idea re emerged ahead
of this year's cookie season, the troop was allowed to
sell cookies at daylight on a trial basis. The Troops
set up a booth in the area near the building's
exit door. Cassidy says some customers skipped to the marijuana
and went right.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
To the kookie booth first.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I don't think five years ago you would have seen
anything like this, said Cassidy. I hope that it's a
sign of things to come where there's more of this
normalcy of shared opportunities.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
The local troops.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
First, a cookie selling stint occurred back on the twentieth
of last month. The Girl Scouts offered their full array
of cookies, including the Favorite Sentiments, Carmel.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Delights, and more.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I guess of any favors, it's any favorite of the
SaaS or whatever.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
They call them today. Didn't they change the name again?
I don't know the wokefication.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Of Girl Scouts, So I'm what I like, does does?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Can you just you just grab? I don't know all
the names?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
So it's like like I don't know vanilla cookie that
has like cream, oh whatever, like vanilla thing.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
They changed the name.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Of that too.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I'm like pretty sure I've got about twenty the Girl
Scout cookies.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I don't know, not to be confused with the lemon ones.
But then I also like just the peanut butter sandwiches.
I don't know what those are called.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
No, No, the peanut butter in the chocolate one.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, Yah, that's what I'm saying. What are those called?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I like the sharp red ones again, terrible take What
in the world do you guys like cookies?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So what is it that you like?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Peanut butter covered in chocolate ones?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Tagalogs?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Tag alog?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I might be a racially insensitive.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
They changed that name to.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Because it's like something like South Pacific, just like Samoa's.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Like, that's a group of people group Caramel Delights.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Now take a loog is like Philippine language, right, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (37:10):
Girl, Scouts websites that haven't pulled up, they do have
Caramel Delights slash samoas so it is still on their
website what they called.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I have to scroll down. Okay, sorry, I apologies they
didn't tell. But the one thing's missing from the story
that I really wanted to know is how much money
did they make? Right?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
And did the cookies smell like weed? I would have
a problem with that. So trefoils, okay, trefoils? Yeah, okay,
I like those cider. Andrew Langer will be joining a
spy
Our three Twin City's news Talk Am eleven thirty one
oh three five FM on a Freedom Friday, full house
in the brand new studio. We have RNC Committeeman Ak Kamara.
Good morning. We have a Katherine Johnson from an American experiment.
He had a turn here, ye am you here. I
(00:22):
know the button's right over there. You got it. Good
morning Catherine, Good morning. We have Grace, although it's only
part of Grace. The rest of her is already heading
to MSP and she's going on vacan't think at her,
So I'll get over there, just going on going vacans soon.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Christ from American experiment.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So my body is in Italy right now.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, that's awesome. No, we're very we're very happy for you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We look forward to all of the photos in our
group chat, and we're going to talk group chats a
little bit later on in the show. We are Yeah,
we are good times. We have a we have a
story out of Miami Dade, Florida, of a group chat
gone bad amongst some some Republican UH College students subjectively bad,
subjectively bad.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Never heard that story before? Did this not just happen?
Like three weeks ago? The same thing again, is it?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Okay, it's the same outrage every.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Time with the same demographic group of young men that
are racially actually all over the place.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's not like it's just young white men. But yeah,
it's young men. This is this has been going on
for the ages because jen z humor is so this
is nothing new wild Yeah. But what I have with that, though,
is I have a I have an article that lays
out proper group chat etiquette. Hmmm. So we'll run through
something because we have our own group chat and doesn't
get saucy by anything for the most part on occasion,
(01:37):
not in the Miami Dade, Florida college student certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think we're all smarter than that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But we will run through some of that group chat
that group chat etiquette coming up now before we get
into the legislative session, let's go back to the big
news story of the day. I have one more clip
from Governor Tim Walls, and I'm just kind of curious
to get everybody's thoughts. So Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority
of Leader Steve Scalise said, yes, yesterday they are confident
that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican out of Oklahoma can
(02:05):
lead the Department of Homeland Security now that Christy Nome
has been put in a different position. President Donald Trump
announced on True Social yesterday afternoon the DHS Secretary Nome
was reassigned to oversee a new Western Hemisphere security initiative.
He said Mullen was his nominee to replace her at
(02:25):
the helm of DHS. So Mark Wayne Mullen is going
to do an extraordinary job in his in that position,
Johnson told Newsmax, a congressional correspondent on Capitol Hill, saying
that he is well suited for it. So I talked
about this at length in the first hour of the show.
The Trump administration has always shown that if there's an
(02:46):
individual in charge of a particular job and that person
is no longer functioning the way that they should within
that position, or may not be the right person for
that position, they show, you know, he has no hesitancy
to go and put them in a different place. And
that certainly has happened here with Christy Nomes. She may
have gone and done this to herself. Going back to
(03:06):
and I'll play the clip here briefly. This is with
there was a hearing that took place earlier this Week
with Christy Nomes. She was being questioned by Senator Kennedy
and the issue of her spending some two hundred million
dollars on this advertising camp campaign came up. She said
the President Donald Trump had signed off on it. Trump
said that he didn't. My thought is more than likely
(03:27):
there was an approval that took place within the administration,
probably not aware of the specificity of what this was
being spent on. Let me play this quick clip. This
might be the moment where Christie nom lost her gig.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
I'm I asking you a chart interrupt, But the President
approved ahead of time you spending two hundred and twenty
million dollars running TV EDGs across the country in which
you are featured prominently.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He did? Yes, Okay. And one thing.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Senator I think would be helpful to know is how
effective that communications has.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Been that overwhelming give in your name recognition. I mean,
I personally, just I mean to me, it puts the
President in a terribly awkward spot and it and I'm
just I'm not shying, You're not telling the truth. It's
just hard for me to buy you know, I'm the president.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And that I felt that Christy Noome did a good
job in her position. I will say that her desire
to perpetuate a certain image has been a bit of
her undoing throughout this entire process. But before we move
on to legislative matters, and I have a clip from
Walls commenting on the removal of Christine Nome.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He was talking with Jens Hockey on MS.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Now, I do want to ask our Freedom Friday guests
their thoughts on it, And Hey, k Kamar, your quick
thoughts on this movie.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, my quick thoughts are I think that Christen Home
did a great job. But let's be very very clear.
I think Christine Home is a tryhard I think that
she was trying so hard to be like, I support
President Trump, that she would just like on reflex support
everything that she ever said or did. And I think
that that was probably to her fault. So she's a
(05:15):
Trump loyalist, no question about it. But it's like, Okay,
you can be a loyalist, but also just realize sometimes
people make mistakes. And so that's kind of where I'm
at with Christine Home. I think that she did a
really good job. Obviously, the fact that the President is
giving her a new title of you know, special Envoy
to help protect the Western hemisphere and basically be the
(05:36):
arbiter of the.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Don Rohe doctrine.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But I just think she was too much of a
try hard man and sometimes you have to take that
l and I think that a lot of people were
not liking the way that she was handling herself.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Yeah, it makes me nervous when he I think President
Trump does sometimes buy into like the left wing narratives
like oh.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, Christy's doing such a bad job, blah blah.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Blah blah blah, Like, yes, she maybe made some missteps,
but I thought overall she was doing a fine job.
So I get worried when I think he buys into
that narrative a little bit. But you know, ultimately whatever,
I think the new guy will do a good job
and Cricket gets the last left, I think it's more
a healthy signal that the goals and the priorities and
(06:17):
the smooth operations of the Trump administration are more important
than any individual person, and he's not going to leave
anyone in a position of power who's not running it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
As well as they could be. I think again, I
think she did a fine job. But if she, for
whatever reason, was holding that office back, it was time
to move her somewhere else because you have to keep
things running smoothly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So Governor Tim Walls desperately trying to once again shore
up any sort of positivity he can after you know,
having his butt handed to him once again during this
committee hearing earlier in the week, it was talking with
the friendliest of friendly news sources, and that would be
Jen Zakim over at MS now and had this to
say last night, and.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
So I can't say it enough. Don't give them any money,
don't firm a DHS secretary, continue to drag them in
in front of you and put the guardrails around. If
a DHS ice border patrol, whoever it is, federal agent
is involved in the killing or violence or violating constitutional rights,
(07:18):
the states have to be able to be part of
that investigation. And at this point in time, they're stonewalling us.
And if you recall on the third shooting we had
here with the gentleman shot and a leg she went
after that that was a planned attack. And that night
she said she helped me accountable as a domestic terrors
for encouraging them.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, lo and behold, they were lying. And now those folks.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Are supposed to be under investigation, but our folks were
driven off that scene with the gas that was being
thrown by ice. So there's a lot of unanswered questions.
And I think the way this White House operates is
we'll get rid of here, we'll talk about something else,
we'll flood the zone, and people will forget about it.
I think what I'm saying to Christynom is we will
never forget. We will never until we get justice for
(08:01):
the people that were harmed in this. And if we don't,
and all the rest of your listeners, this is coming
to your state. We were, we were a testing ground
and the people of Minnesota pushed back.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But they'll just they'll just do it in the dark. Well,
first off, don't threaten me with a good time. I
just want to say that upfront. The level of gas
lighting is really incredible for him to say, stonewalling on
anything regarding how much he has can he continues to
hide from the federal government.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Relating to fraud, relating to the voter roles.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
He tells the story of the guy that got shot
in the leg, makes up his own silly word solid
of phrases without providing any of the of the necessary
you know, details whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And the last thing I'll say, and I'll let you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Comment on this, is the fact that, dude, you lost
all credibility to go and push back on the federal
government regarding the ICE agents and their actions when you
disconnected local law enforcement and the state from the actions
of the federal government. Does it sit back and now
say we want to be able to hold people accountable?
Was like, do you are the one that cut off
Minnesota from the federal government? You only have your yourself
(09:05):
to blame.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And the funny thing is Democrats do this all the time.
They tell on themselves. So he just accused that Republicans
are trying to change the narrative make people forget, but
we will never forget.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's quite literally what the.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Democrats their entire like, that's their operating principle. They will
lie and then they will shift the narrative, and then
they hope that everyone forgets about the thing that they
just lied about. They do it all the time. Republicans
aren't trying to do that. It's just very very plain
and simple that what ICE did in Minnesota was effective.
(09:39):
Sure the left it was kind of their rallying point,
and they don't want people to forget that because I
will say that the normally response was, ah, I don't
really like the way that ICE has been acting because
they were able to capture that narrative. But now that
we have actually said, okay, we've scaled down our operations
because we got this cooperation, people are starting to be like, Okay,
(10:01):
it wasn't that bad the way that they tried to
portray it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So we got to take a quick break. I want
to get the thoughts of our other guests in studio.
We have Grace Katy and Catherine Johnson from American Experiment.
RNC Committeeman Ak Kamara will get their further thoughts on
what Governor Tim Walls had to say.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Let me leave you with this though, as we.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Set up to talk about the legislative session, and this
is related to ice and fraud and why they were
here to begin with investigating fraud along with those that
are here in the country illegally. The DFL legislative agenda
has been filled with ice related bills. A lot of
those have already fallen by the wayside, but listen to
this and we'll talk about it coming up at length
(10:38):
in the next segment. But Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto
clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, saying that
we should be studying the benefits of shop lifting and
retail theft. Listen to this and we'll comment coming up,
and listen to your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app next
here on Twin City's News Talk several lesson on the
(11:00):
Safety Committee.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
Yesterday there was a presentation of a group seeking to
change how we address organize retail theft, and it actually
had not occurred to me to ask it probably would
have been good to make sure that they would study
sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft,
because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of
using that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe it's you know, assisting them in some way.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
I mean, these folks were describing people violating the law,
but I suppose it could be useful to look into that.
But ultimately it's a policy question, right, we do want
to make sure when we have a long place where
we're enforcing it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So I am a hault, Please talk Ayea. Eleven thirty
FM one O three point five and on iHeartRadio. So
we'll get back to in just a second. Here on
Twin Cities News Talk, it's a Freedom Friday. My name
is John Justice, and the master control booth next door
is Sam and Studio. We have R and C Committee
(11:53):
man Ak Kamara. We have Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating
from American Experiment. Well get back to the thoughts of
a Pinto saying that they should be studying the benefits
of shoplifting and retail theft. We're going to be without
both Catherine and Grace for a couple of weeks. You
guys are going on vacation. A moment ago on the
headline on TV with Fox News was that Iran has
(12:15):
we talked. We were talking about this earlier. They've attacked
twelve other countries in the Middle East, So the headline
popped up. I look over at Grace. She's staring intently
at the screen and was just letting you know Italy
wasn't on the list.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
So just.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Don't John like she's worried that they protected Italy because
that's where she's heading.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Later on this morning, she was.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
Watching the screen like how we used to watch the
school closures right for snow, that's what she.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Was looking at.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
The nightmares I'm having over flight disruptions, I pray.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I watched her welcome. I saw the headline and like
I was saying, we attacked them, and then you know,
Iran just goes and attacks everybody else.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And I'm like, I bet she's worried.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We're not.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
We're not praying for east around here. We're praying for
Grace's trip Oka.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, we are so guys.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
At least we know it's Italy, so if anything happens,
they'll be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
My gosh, we're so sorry. We are not involved. We
will gage like that, you know, like they won't. They
won't keep it going.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No drones to Italy.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Just could just keep those keep those pathways clear.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I would not want to be getting on a plane
right now.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's just me. You can go to Spain, that's just
I don't like to get on a plane anyways.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The first overseas trip, I haven't told the story in
a long time, but I'll tell it now.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The first overseas trip I ever took. This goes back
to nineteen ninety eight. I was going to England to
see my favorite band Depeche Mode because my bucket list
item was to go see them over over in England
and I from southern California. And then we were I
think we were in Toronto, Canada. Got on a seven
forty seven. Never been on the seven to forty seven before. Right,
(13:51):
it's just huge. I hate flying already. It was way
worse back in ninety eight than it is now. I'm
better now. Ninety eight it was I had horrible anxiety
getting on a plane. So on the seven forty seven,
I'm there with my girlfriend. The plane starts rumbling down
the runway and again seven forty sevens are massive. Right,
I am white knuckling it the whole way, the airliners.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Going down, picking up speeder.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And right the nose picks up. I can like, okay,
we're getting ready to go. We're getting ready to go.
And right as the rear wheels are about to lift
off the tarmac, bam, it hits like a seam in
the runway. Slam. Lights go out in the plane and
I scream like a little girl. I'm convinced because I
(14:41):
believe that everything happens for a reason, that God did
that to put everybody else at ease. On the plane
because I'm like, well, that guy's screaming because everybody was
just laughing at me.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
The girlfriend was not Melinda because I was one.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, it was not.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
It was not.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was not Melinda.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It was it did last after the screen.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
No, no, we didn't. Yeah, that was the As a
matter of fact, it wasn't all that much longer after
that relationship bended and I met and I met Melenda.
So so there you go. Everything happens to Everything happens
when it comes to traveling.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
The only thing that I've ever had a problem with,
like when you travel these long flights, is I hate
to fall asleep because.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm self conscious about my snoring.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Okay, and I can fall sleep anywhere, like right now,
if I laid in this corner, give me sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Seconds, I'm out. You guys can just continue to do
what you're doing. I'm out. That's a good gift. I
will be snoring. And so it's so weird.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I every like long slight that I've been on, I
just stay up and I power through it, slam and
energy drinks because.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I don't want to disrupt other people. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I cannot sleep on them. I can I've never been
able to sleep on a plane.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I can sleep on planes, I just make really ugly
faces when I say so.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm self conscious about that.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I firmly believe I don't snore, but for my own pride,
I try not to sleep on planes.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So we're a little short on time. I want.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Here's what I'll do. We'll play the clip.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I want to sneak in a couple of talkbacks, and
then we'll dive into it for they're with our Freedom
Friday group here on a Twin City's news talk But again,
here is during the legislative session this week. This is
Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto saying that we should be
studying the benefits of shoplifting and retail theft. And let
me just let me make one comment. We'll play the
talk back, take a quick break, and get back to it,
but let me just say this. This is all a setup,
(16:20):
by the way, to provide the excuses relating to the
fraud that's been taking place in the state. Where that's
where this idea is coming from, is that you have there.
They're going to try to more directly point two, Well,
the individuals committing this fraud, you know, maybe we should
be providing other benefits to them and they wouldn't need
(16:41):
to be committing this fraud. This is where all of
this system is stemming from. So it makes me sick. Yeah,
So here is Dave Pinto. We'll play a few of
your comments and we'll get back to more of this
here on a Freedom Friday twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Several lesser on the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was
a presentation of a group seeking to change how we
address organize retail theft, and it actually had not occurred
to me to ask it probably would have been good
to make sure that they would study sort of the
benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people
are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe
it's you know, assistant in some way. I mean, these
(17:15):
folks were describing people violating the law. But I suppose
it could be useful to look into that. But ultimately
it's a policy question, right, we do want to make
sure when we have a long place where we're enforcing it.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
So, Hey, good morning, John, how you doing to spoiler
burn out of the pencil comments and the legislature?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Wow, I didn't know the boosters had a lobby who No.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
I know it's a Freedom Friday at all, but did
I hear that correctly? The benefits of shoplifting, my dude,
That's the whole reason why there's like a division of
people an industry dedicated to loss prevention because it is
not good.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
These people are whacked.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And speaking of that loss prevention.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
Good morning, John, Hopefully you're having a great day and
have a great weekend. I've been working in retail loss
prevention for almost thirty years. I started out as the
guy sitting in the back of the store watching cameras
catching shoplifters and have worked my way up ever since.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The amount of.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
People who do the shoplifting for need is very small
compared to those who do it for profit. I hope
this doesn't catch any legs.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Have a great day, Good morning, and I love your show.
Freedom Friday. Twin City's News Talk in studio with us
Grace Keating and Catherine Johnson from Center of the American
Experiment American Experiment Podcast. We have RNC Committeeman Ak Kamaraw.
My name is John Justiceon and the master control booth
(18:49):
next door is Sam. Now, before we get back to
thoughts on Dave Pinto saying that we should be, you know,
looking into the benefits of shoplifting. We also have comment
from another representative, Athena Hollins, who might be one of
the best examples that I've seen as of late of
saying the.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Quiet part out loud.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Like the level of honesty that she actually, you know,
puts forward, it's.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Kind of shocking on to different levels.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
One quiet part out loud being said in two a
democrat and I'm kind of a socialist actually being completely honest.
So we'll get to this in just a moment. Before
we do, though, we don't have to get to your
talk back of the day. Your talk Back of the
day is brought to you by mini Leaf and minileaf
dot com. Head on over to m I N N
E l eaf dot com and get yourself the nightgummies
for me. You know, March is a sleep month. If
(19:37):
you even realize this or not, and this one in
three people get poor sleep. That's because those people need
Mini Leaf Nightcummies. I'm telling you right now, all right,
They do bring you your talk back of the day,
and this is it.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Great show, John, always good to listen to. The Friday
fun Fest that's it. I don't have anything philosophical or
facetious to add, but I'm just one what Monday Show
topic is going to be.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So with that, I actually went ahead and put together
a list. Now that we're into the final segment, I
know the stuff we're not getting to today.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
On Monday Show, we.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Will be talking about how voting for Republicans legitimately saves lives. Yes, okay,
this kind of goes back to the conversation we were
having earlier about court judges. So early stems from that.
The state is offering tips on how people here in
Minnesota can take advantage of paid family medical leave. Oh good,
so you know they want to make sure that many
people get in on that fraud as possible. And then
(20:30):
also on Monday Show, we'll talk about how six Flags
is selling off a valley fair for three hundred and
thirty one million dollars. That's it pocket change. It doesn't
seem it doesn't It doesn't seem like it's a lot.
They are going to stay open during the summer though,
So that's what I hear. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Are they going to like do some some improvements?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I was whoever takes over the new whoever the new
ownership is, I hope.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
So so the center of the American Experiment theme park.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It flags over the American Experiment, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
And you can just call it America Land or Freedom Land,
Freedom Land, Freedom.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I love that. I'll pitch it. We don't quit hit
three million dollars yet.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
No, No, you just got to find an investor, yes, that.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Believe in you. That's you can just keep the name,
but just add to us like a valley fair and
just this.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It'll get it because fair. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
There you go. Ah, was just I was trying to
do a play on where then you know what, we'll
do that, you know, and we'll give myself this to
you know, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
To back to something reasonable by r.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
John.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Before you continue, we should save that list and then
include we should then update it based on all the
stuff that's gonna happen today and over.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
The weekend, which is what the actual promo says. So
I just wanted to put that. That was your talk
back of the day, by the way, brought to you
by Mini Leaf and minileaf dot Com. Let's get back
to the ridiculousness of Dave ben too, where he suggests several.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Less are On the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was
a presentation of a group seeking to change how we
address organize retail theft. And it actually had not occurred
to me to ask it probably would have been good
to make sure that they would study sort of the
benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
And if we're going to study the quote unquote benefits
of shoplifting, then why don't we study the real benefits
of shooting shoplifters, Because if we shoot shoplifters a lot
of shop we don't do that because of our clients society.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well that's a bit.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Hey, if we're going to allow people to shoplift, we
should allow people to shoot.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, no, that's not no, that's arrest them, get their
products back, you know, don't let them out the door.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We should you know, stop short.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
As best as possible of physical violence or violence with
the firearm. Well that's a.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Good point, though, you know, there's people who get murdered
who do bad things as well. Should we be studying Well, well.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's upside, that's good.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That isis that is a good point as well.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I find it so funny that Like, so back during
COVID and the George Floyd Riots, New York Times and
a bunch of leftists basically came up with this idea
that in defensive shoplifting and in defensive looting, that somehow
allowing this to happen is the ability of small impoverished
communities that have been taken advantage by the capitalist system
(23:28):
to get their get back, right, Like that that's the
entire premise, And so it's funny that Pinto is still
pushing this idea that you potentially need to look at
the benefits of why people would break the law. And
it's just like it has been so memified of how
ridiculous this is. Is that anytime you see a story
about a young non white male committing a crime or
(23:50):
a violent actor, like he was just he just needed
to get some sneakers for his family, right, Like, it's
become memified because it's absurd.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And you're also taking away all agency.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
So you're telling me that it's okay to go and
rob from a store and steal from a store, that
there's positive benefits because somehow you just deserve it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Like that's insane.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No one believes that that's even true, and it's just
funny that Pento's pushing.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That still well, and there's the criminal justice side of it,
for sure, but there's also the anti business side. I mean,
if this was put out as a piece of satire
to show just how anti business.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Especially anti small business, the.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
State of Minnesota and the dfl IS, I would believe it.
If I saw this in like the Onion or the
Babylon b or something, I would not bat in eye.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But they are. They just have no care or regard for.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
The people who are out there trying to make a living,
trying to keep the economy moving, running their businesses.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They say, well, we should.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Probably just let people steal from them, because the person
who steals it might need it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They might need more than me.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I say to the point that Dave Pinto, I am
calling for him to remove his last name as Pinto,
and it's going to be Dave Lima because Pinkel beans
actually taste good. Lima beans are disgusting. Wow, you know
what you fascinated? You don't get that very often either.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Not ready for that. I have something to say, but
I'm not sure what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why you regather your thoughts? Really a lot of r
and d went.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Into that, spent a lot of time on that. I
have no room to talk about.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
That, almost as much as let's not be reminded of that.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
We're in a new studio now where that's the past
and live in the now. Turn the turn the page, listen.
This is an extension of the way that democrats want
people to believe that individuals are inherently good. And if
they're inherently good, then somebody who was going and doing
(25:48):
something bad must have been motivated by some extraneous force
on the outside that put them in a position to
do something that we have only labeled as being wrong
and it legal and criminal, when the truth is because
people are ultimately good at heart, we need to go
and identify the root cause of what drove them to
that and understand that they simply are just trying to
(26:09):
better to better their lives. It's the same excuse you
used to get with the border. People that are coming
into the country illegally are just trying to better their lives,
most of them, to which I always say know all
of them are.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It's how they want to better their lives.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Do they want to come here and take advantage of
everything this country has to offer and embrace American exceptionalism
and assimilate even though you're here illegally, you have to
be held accountable. Or do they want to come in
because they're trafficking human beings or children or drugs. It's
the same type of ridiculous mentality that this moron is
presenting during the legislative session.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
And it turns out that in fact, everybody that does
a thing that takes away from someone else's freedom is
doing it because it's better for them.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Like if I rob.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
From you, I get what you have, it's better for me.
I don't really care what happens to you. So if
I want to harm someone that I feel has done
me in justice.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's good for me. It's like, well, thank you for
proving the thing.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That we all know. People are selfish people and it's
part of our nature, So we need to have laws.
Because of selfish nature, people will just take everything they can,
and of course it's better for them.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
They wouldn't do it. People don't do things that aren't
good for them.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
But this is why we have the fraud problem we
do in Minnesota is because of this mindset of redistribution
by any means necessary, they don't care if it someone else.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's well, those people probably needed it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
That's why we have this problem with fraud we do
in Minnesota because this is actually how the Democrats feel,
and it's nuts, but it's how they feel.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And as talkbacker is actually on the same wavelength that
you are, Catherine.
Speaker 15 (27:47):
Hey, John, I wanted to follow up on the caller
who indicated he was from a loss prevention and that people,
the overwhelming majority of people steal because they do it
for profits. I wanted to say that that is the
exact same reason why people commit fraud.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They do it for profit, not for need.
Speaker 15 (28:09):
We have program upon program in the state that can
help with.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The Yeah, yeah, he's absolutely he's absolutely correct.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Well, and it's important to clarify to John, like you said,
this comes from a belief on the left that people
are inherently good and if they're doing something bad, they
have a good reason for doing it, and that's not true.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
They believe certain in groups are inherently good and others.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Straight white men definitely not inherently good. Anyone born into
a position of privilege in the United States, whether that's
white privilege or straightlip privilege, they know they are not
inherently good. They are inherently bad, and they are actively
trying to oppress those other groups.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, it really is only the groups that are most
politically expedient for them to go and exploit, because more
than likely they're going to end up voting for Democrats. Now,
this is what's amazing about this next clip because in
the middle of this, I think it was I don't
know if it was the same hearing or a different hearing,
but they were talking about a bunch of m mimigration
issues and thankfully they've all fallen by the wayside during
the legislative session. But Minnesota State Representative Athena Hollins basically
(29:06):
goes and says the quiet part out loud, and it
plays right into exactly what Minnesota Representative Dave Pinto was And.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I can't explain it to you any better than that, Like,
I'm coming at this from my heart and not from
my brain.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I am talking to people on the streets and they
are telling me they are scared.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world, because
that's how Democrats operate. They come at it's the bleeding
heart liberal. I mean, that's why, that's that's why that
phrase exists. They look at it.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
From their heart, not with their brain, and I think
it's just such a manipulative tactic to use, but that
is what the left does.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They're like, if I feel.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
This way, and I can make you feel this way,
then that means that we need to be more fair
and we need to understand someone else's viewpoint or their
stand And I've said, like, yeah, I need a Ferrari.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So if my need to have a Ferrari outweighs.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Your need to run a business, I guess my need
trump shows it's always been that absurd of a premise.
And I just think that when Athena Hollins or Dave Lima.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Decides that they're going to like justify, you're not going
to I'm not gonna let go. Are not going to justify.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
They're gonna sit there and justify shoplifting or you know,
not enforcing federal laws. Ultimately, they just want to trick
people into feeling bad for people that actually have agency.
Illegal aliens have agency, they knew they were breaking the law.
They need to be held to account. If you decide
to shoplift or steal things, you need to be held to.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Account because you have agency. You made that choice.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
If we have a talkbacker, that's going to make you
feel better.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
Okay, all right, Well Aka, I think his name is
actually pretty appropriate since his ideas, like the Pentos, when
in a mild accident, will likely explode and go open slights.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
Ak Kamara just had the talk back of the day
discussing Pinto versus climate beans.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, I know, man, seriously, what do I know? Why
do I why? Why shout out to the talk backer.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was going to go that route with the exploding Pinto,
but I decided to go with the chili because I
figured maybe my reference is a little dated for you
zoomers that you don't know that there was a vehicle
called the Pinto and basically if it got.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Rear ended, it would blow up.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah literally, yeah, because I put the engine in the
back of the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Incredibly it looked.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It's a car that looks like somebody like somebody had
heated it and then stuck like a pump in the
beginning of it and then blew it up like a
balloon and then turned it off. Very ugly. It's incredibly ugly.
It's very bulbous, is what I'm trying to say so
very bulbous. The Pinto was a very bulbous car. Interesting, Yeah,
that's sure, that's your podcast retitle bulbous, bulbous car, bulbus
(31:46):
The Pinto was a bulbous car.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
I feel like that was your word of the day
calendar and you just got that.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
In keep this great idea. Let's just leave people steal
from the stores.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
That then when the stores close up, they can cry
about we don't have any place you can shut up.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
This is what now you have. They'll have the government.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Open stuff up.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Let's get it that liberals are in shite. You have
good crime at all.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Any man, good good luck landing that hot air balloon.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Sounds like he's about to be taken off somewhere.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Seriously jet sitting.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, maybe he's going to Italy. Maybe he's gonna be
on your flight.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
And that's the funny thing is like grace, like I
saw you, you lit up. They're gonna then push the
Minneapolis as food deserts. And that's because of capitalism and
white supremacy.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's why there's no walmarts here.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It's like, well no, because you have representatives that are like, yes,
go and steal. You're justified and we're not gonna charge
you to any crimes, like what business wants to operate
at all under those conditions because.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Crime ultimately hurts poor people disproportionately. That's the other thing
that's important to remember. They say these things, they say
they care about the poor and the people who are stealing,
but crime by and large hurts peopleople who are worse
off socioeconomically by far.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
So it's it's not even they're not even doing what
they claim to do.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Morning one and all. Dan here formerly from me Dina.
Speaker 17 (33:15):
He notice that a speech pattern of Representative Pinto is
to throw in the word right once in a while,
as if you're clarifying yourself as yes, I'm right.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I like his comment. I'm more just curious. He's formally
from a Dinah. So where is he now? Where is he?
Speaker 14 (33:37):
Where's he from?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Where is he from now?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah? Undisclosed location, just.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
About Dinah roots he's talking about, like voice patterns formally
from a Dinasbody knows, Well.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
There's one thing I know about people from a Dina
is they always end up back in Dina.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So I'm sure he'll make it.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, okay, all right? Is that is that it's one
of the It's one of those places where you can't
you can't, you can't escape.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
It's it's like it's like a journey, like you want
to leave the caked eater status, and then you realize
that it's better.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
To be a cake eater than a not cake.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
You get hungry for cakes.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Cake, so you got to come back. I'm glad you
guys brought up food because we're out of time. We're
not gonna be able to talk about racist college group chats.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I'm sorry because looking at the clock, there simply isn't
enough time we can talk about this ingenious girl scout
who from New Jersey taking cookie sales to New Heights.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You know what she wouldn't did?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
She set up her cookie stand right outside of a
popular cannabis dispensary.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I's gonna say that as a joke. Yep, she actually
did that.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
She did it. Brilliant entrepreneur South Jersey based a troop
recently Learned, teamed up with the Daylight Dispensary at Mount
Laurel to sell their beloved cookies at the cannabis shop
this cookie season. Daylight Dispensary owner Steve Cassidy told the
New Jersey dot Com that you use cannabis and you
get the monchies.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
There's a connection.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Between snacks and cannabis, and the fact that we don't
have to pretend it doesn't exist anymore is really awesome.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
It wasn't a fish partnership.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, love I love it. Daylight became Mount Laurel's first
dispensary when it opened in twenty twenty three. Cassidy said
the idea was proposed back in twenty four, but it
was turned down by the Girl Scouts of Central and
Southern New Jersey. Of all the places that are going
to turn that down, I'm kind of shocked that it
was turned down in New Jersey to begin with.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, kind of figured that would have been Yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Do it right the Girl Scout council that oversees the
Troops in the region. When the idea re emerged ahead
of this year's cookie season, the troop was allowed to
sell cookies at daylight on a trial basis. The Troops
set up a booth in the area near the building's
exit door. Cassidy says some customers skipped to the marijuana
and went right.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
To the kookie booth first.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I don't think five years ago you would have seen
anything like this, said Cassidy. I hope that it's a
sign of things to come where there's more of this
normalcy of shared opportunities.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
The local troops.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
First, a cookie selling stint occurred back on the twentieth
of last month. The Girl Scouts offered their full array
of cookies, including the Favorite Sentiments, Carmel.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Delights, and more.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I guess of any favors, it's any favorite of the
SaaS or whatever.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
They call them today. Didn't they change the name again?
I don't know the wokefication.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Of Girl Scouts, So I'm what I like, does does?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Can you just you just grab? I don't know all
the names?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
So it's like like I don't know vanilla cookie that
has like cream, oh whatever, like vanilla thing.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
They changed the name.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Of that too.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I'm like pretty sure I've got about twenty the Girl
Scout cookies.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I don't know, not to be confused with the lemon ones.
But then I also like just the peanut butter sandwiches.
I don't know what those are called.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
No, No, the peanut butter in the chocolate one.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, Yah, that's what I'm saying. What are those called?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I like the sharp red ones again, terrible take What
in the world do you guys like cookies?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So what is it that you like?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Peanut butter covered in chocolate ones?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Tagalogs?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Tag alog?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I might be a racially insensitive.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
They changed that name to.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Because it's like something like South Pacific, just like Samoa's.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Like, that's a group of people group Caramel Delights.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Now take a loog is like Philippine language, right, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (37:10):
Girl, Scouts websites that haven't pulled up, they do have
Caramel Delights slash samoas so it is still on their
website what they called.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I have to scroll down. Okay, sorry, I apologies they
didn't tell. But the one thing's missing from the story
that I really wanted to know is how much money
did they make? Right?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
And did the cookies smell like weed? I would have
a problem with that. So trefoils, okay, trefoils? Yeah, okay,
I like those cider. Andrew Langer will be joining a
spy
