Using ancient geological history to dismiss current climate concerns is a sophisticated way of ignoring the immediate human impact of environmental change. It shows how experts can use selective data to normalize a crisis by hiding it behind an irrelevant timeline.

>> Ian.
>> I love how Morgan runs out of breath halfway through.
>> The list was long, huh?
>> Ian Plymer or Plimer?
>> Pmer. What have we decided? Ian Plymer is a >> an Australian geologist and professor ammeritus at the University of Melbourne. He rejects the scientific consensus on climate change. Well, which for good reason, not the least of them being there's no such thing as consensus in science. There's only fact. He has been criticized by climate scientists.
Of course, he has. Also, he's been a professor of mining ge geology at the University of Adelaide.
Uh we have courtesy of uh Jordy, we have audio now. We might have played this before. I'm not sure.
>> It's not this same clip, but we have featured Ian on this show before.
>> He was born in 1946, so he's 80. And I just uh can't thank him enough for his common sense. People are ringing their hands today in various editorials which are silly by definition. There is no such climate is always changing. Here is Ian Plymer for a uh an Earth Day celebration. We hear about climate scientists whatever that is. Now, in geology, we have a 250 year track record of arguing about climate. Textbooks are full of it. We've been laboring about climate for a long while. And then there's this sudden new invention of climate science. And I had some of these when I was head of department at the University of Melbourne. And these are embited, obscure, unemployable academics funded by your taxes.
And those taxes are to fund these people's hobbies.
And the end result of that is that they put good people out of work and they cost our nation trillions.
So there's one group of people that use models. Another group of people, I mean, this is this is really sinful. We use evidence. And the two are not in accord.
And if they're not in accord, you've got to throw out the models which we've seen time and time again are incorrect.
So we can look back in the past and we can see that we've had six great ice ages.
During that ice age, we'll have the ice expand. That's a glaciation. Or it will contract. That's an interglacial. We are currently in an interglacial of an ice age that started on a Thursday 34 million years ago.
And the ice has come and gone. In our last interglacial, sea level was about 7 m higher. Temperature was about 5° warmer. So if someone says, "Oh, this is the hottest day on record." You have to ask since when?
If it's the hottest day in the last 120,000 years, then that is a record.
But um since when? So, if we go to the peak of our interglacial, which was about 4,000 years ago, it was about 5° warmer. So, it's cooler than the hottest temperature on record. If we go to the time of Jesus when it was warm, it's about 4° cooler than. If we go to the dark ages, go to the Viking age, we've actually warmed up since then. If we go to the medieval warming, we've cooled down since then. And if we go to the little ice age, we've warmed up since then. So since when? And I know this is going to surprise you, but we've just come out of a little ice age. What do you think is going to do? Fall or rise? It's been rising since the morning minimum more than 300 years ago. So it is no surprise that if you have cut off times for temperature or for sea level or for hurricanes or whatever, you can spin whatever yarn you want to spin.
These six great ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now. We have 0.04% of that gas in the atmosphere. And we hear words like emissions. Well, that means nothing to me because the atmosphere has changed in its carbon dioxide content from over 20%. To now, which is really low in geological time.
If we h haveved it, all plant life would die and animals would die.
>> You you are you are so funny. S >> watching you.
>> Oh my god, that brought so much joy to my heart. I just love it.
>> You're just sitting there going, >> "Yep." Who's been Who's your daddy? Yep.
>> He's doing a little bit of the rocking, too. I'm your daddy.
>> Who is your mayor of a fake town who's already told you? I better check the sense when you patting yourself on the back.
>> That guy was saying everything you've been saying forever.
>> Did you write him?
>> God, that was funny. I know. But my god, this so silly to see these people ringing their hands today and just believing. Now, confessional time. I've told you this before. I'm a veteran with a clear memory of the first Earth Day.
>> Earth Day.
>> I believe it was in 1970.
>> Earth Day.
>> And I bought the BS.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> You hadn't had your uh your uh >> hair down to here. Transition. I just I bought the >> What was the setup? What was the setup?
Okay, your car just got stolen from your buddy's apartment out front.
>> It had nothing to do with Earth Day.
>> No, but that's the setup. You're You're living with your buddies St. Thomas campus. You're getting everything set up.
>> Did you have a big like silver peace emblem that you wore on a necklace around here?
>> Oh, yeah.
He did. I think he remembers. I wasn't that far.
>> Come on, bra. You got to enjoy the earth while it lasts. Yeah. And you know, the academy wasn't even failed then. There must have been this intuitive belief among college students to uh to reject the man.
>> I know what Kenny's thinking to reject.
>> Look at this Nixon loving hippie as Roy tweeted out a couple years ago.
>> Look at this boom as Roy would say.
>> Say congratulations to our friends in Elk River. I believe this has come up before, but it's official now. They're flying the only Minnesota flag that should be flown. Yes.
>> Thank you, Elk River.
>> That could be a way to push back in this state to get more and more people flying the old flag, not the walls flag.
>> Will they be penalizing?
>> I think Jimmy, Mayor Jimmy Francis is working on that for South Sing.
>> I think he should.
>> We better We should have a leaderboard.
I'd like to have a list of cities >> like a check off, Ken.
>> Yeah.
>> Who's going to put it together? Not me.
>> I can do that >> cuz I I actually uh >> not it.
>> Yeah.
>> Reeves. I nominate Reeves >> second.
>> Chris, use that board hanging over my desk in the office.
>> You'll recall we mentioned the uh Guffy School out in Colorado run by garage logicians.
>> Yeah.
>> And we uh I re I'm receiving a note from Kelly Burke of the school thanking us.
They are getting money coming in from Gellers.
>> Oh, excellent. Wow.
>> That's wonderful. Well, I want to thank all the donors out there. Your contributions don't go unnoticed. And she said, "If you're ever in Colorado and coming through the tiny town of Guffy, stop in and say hello." Yeah. See where your money's going.
>> But I'm I'm glad of that. Guffy School.
What was the website again? I don't even remember.
>> Wah wah wah.
>> That was guffychool.org, I think.
Guffychool.org. Well, you'll find it.
It's the Guffy School. And it's a little teeny school up in the >> uh gufychool.org.
Yes.
>> All right. And a fun story again uh that was instigated by the Lyman's crossing the international date line.
John in Oak Grove, Minnesota writes, "The February 1st issue of the Star Tribune had an obituary of Alfred McLaren, originally published by the New York Times.
A submarine captain, he took his sub to the North Pole and played a baseball game there, making sure the pitcher mound was exactly on the pole. If you hit a home run, you would circumn the globe. A hit into right field will go into yes would go into yesterday and the throwback from right field would be into tomorrow. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that wonderful?
>> And our friend Chris, >> how do you verify that though?
>> What are you doing? What are you saying?
What? What? What is wrong with you people?
>> You have instant replay and pitch pitch count.
>> Hey, that was out of the zone according to KBS. I get the replay.
>> Chris, you have to touch your head.
>> John, would you look up that guy just up? Huh?
>> I have him up right now, actually.
>> Would you read that part? And then Reaver, shut up about whether it was a fair ball or a foul ball.
>> That that part.
>> God almighty.
>> That's not in his Wikipedia, but I'm looking for the baseball game.
>> It is too.
>> I was outside by two inches.
>> You're not in tomorrow. You're in today.
Uh, who's this that writes this? Oh, it's not Christa. Where's her email?
>> Come on, Joe.
>> You left it on your desk.
>> It's right here. It's right here, K.
Don't worry about it.
>> It's in your hands.
>> Yeah.
Greetings, gentlemen.
For the last 30 years, I've been rooting for a baseball team that just can't seem to get it together. Yet, I continue to watch, keep the faith, and tell myself that this year will be the one. This year, we will make the playoffs. She's talking about the Pirates. I also try to attend at least one game per season, and I believe it is one of the most relaxing, comforting, and mood boosting, mood boosting activities that one can participate in. Her her headline, her uh subject line, by the way, was baseball and Kenny and George W. So Kenny's gonna get a a shout out here. Uh >> oh.
>> So Friday afternoon, my husband and I made the two and a half hour trip to Pittsburgh to see the Buckos play the Tampa Bay Rays. The car ride was expected. My husband cussing, huffing, puffing, groaning, and yelling at the other drivers, the road work, the bridge closures, and the inadequate signage.
However, the rest of the evening for me was sublime. Anakana, you want to know why? Brace yourself. In part because of Kenny Olsen.
>> Oh, in the last couple of weeks, on at least two occasions, Kenny has suggested to you, Joe, that you try to remove yourself from the trappings of mulling over the political rhetoric and discourse, recommending rather that you sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Excuse me.
Like you, I find it difficult to do so as every time I think the president and other politicians can't do anything crazier, they do something crazier. I listen to your Minnesota tales of woe and think, "Surely the fraudsters are done stealing, lying, cheating, and winning." And yet, I'm proven wrong almost daily. I feel my blood pressure rise with every news report and imagine a horrible outcome that will keep the kids I used to know from ever living in the kind of United States that I've held so dear. That said, I got in the car Friday and made up my mind that I was going to concentrate on baseball. We got to PNC Park about an hour before the game and made our way to the club section and ordered ice cream. As I sat there imagining how the ice cream in a plastic mini helmet was likely not the most hygienic of healthy choices I could have made for dinner, I spotted two former Pirates players whose heyday was 30 years ago walking through the room. I waited until they stopped, approached them, asked for a photo, and they both obliged. They were kind, gracious, and friendly. When we got to our seats, the crowd around us was energetic, and like us, they were there to enjoy the game. A family of five sat in front of us. The three kids were under 10 years old. A group of pit students sat behind us. No one was drunk, inappropriate or rowdy.
It was just baseball. Everyone cheered when we scored and everyone stood for the anthem, the seventh inning stretch and the fireworks display after the game. When the 12minute fireworks extravaganza reached its peak, the streams of red, white, and blue caused the crowd to cheer. It was in that moment that I realized that for about 3 hours I didn't think about politics. I didn't think about race, religion, weapons, or war. The only tribalism that was evident was our desire to win the game and enjoy the beautiful weather and watch some damn good baseball in fireworks. After listening to Tuesday's podcast and one of those moments that felt like more than coincidence, I happened to stumble upon a clip from the Today Show that aired Monday or yesterday. I do not typically watch any of those daytime shows, so I am not even sure why it showed up on my phone.
Nonetheless, there it was. Jenna Bush was interviewing the remaining former presidents, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden. They were discussing current politics as well as the 250th celebration, this year's semiquint quincentennial.
While admittedly these men know how to speak eloquently as well as give answers that are corny and canned, I was moved by some of what they said. George W.
Bush noted that he believes the outpouring of patriotism that was evident after 9/11 is latent in the American soul. He mentioned a comical encounter he had with Michelle Obama while attending John McCain's funeral and noted that the country is starved for those interactions between different types of people. Barack Obama reminded us that we have been gifted this chance of self-government and we need to make the most of it and and in a surprisingly wellspoken moment when asked about the current state of government George W. Bush said, "One of the things about the 250th is to focus on the common good and the wonders of this country, the history of this country. The fact that you can worship freely without government telling you how to worship, the fact that you can speak in the public square without being jailed, the fact that we have a press that is willing to hold the powerful to account. These are all things that generally do unite us. I am not concerned about the long-term health of our country because I've studied enough history to know that we've been through periods of intense anger and and intense rivalry of ideas. But the beauty about democracy is that it is self-correcting.
And one of the key things I'm going to try to do during the 250th is encourage citizens to participate.
And if you don't like what's going on, vote. That that's how America heals itself. And she concludes with this. So, thank you, Kenny. I'm not sure how long it will last, but I am taking your advice and laughing when I want to cry.
And I'm hopeful that with a little more positive thinking, I won't need to chew as many Tums and Roades. Love you guys.
Thanks for being you, Christa from Maryland.
>> That's awesome. Wonderful.
>> I've seen on the social medias. Believe me, it's been shown to me.
>> Okay.
the four presidents uh getting together and what jumps out in you is how sorely we lack any decorum whatsoever >> the current guy >> the Bush quote that she gave. Wow, that really hit home for me.
>> Mr. President, will you please use decorum in a sentence?
>> I don't think I can.
>> I'm not sure that's the president. the president he wanted to look at presidents.
>> You talk about White House Oval Office decorum.
>> I can speak highly of it with my my list of interns.
>> Let me tell you something right now.
>> Uh that that was all great that she notes this and it's all true, but uh it's it's really a struggle to uh to put into context how far we've fallen from just the behavior of those four. Oh, >> I don't care about their uh some of the stuff I agreed with. Uh uh much much of what I didn't agree with, but but the environment >> the environment was more steady and calmer and they were they were civil human beings.
>> Transfer of power uh working together for the next person to come in. Uh >> but we had periods of war. We had things like that under previous regimes. All of it handled as civily as possible. If if that's not oxymoronic that a war could be civil. All of it handled.
>> Mostly peaceful. Wars.
>> No, not mostly peaceful. But we we have no one right now in a position of of major power who has any sense of decency or commonality with the people of this country.
>> And you could look at senators and representatives and say that for a lot of them too.
>> Yeah. Do you think it's it do you think it's the influence of social media on everybody's brain?
>> Yeah.
>> This behavior started on social media where you treat each other so horribly.
>> Well, but Trump's Trump's behavior predates social media.
>> So, >> maybe he started it on social media.
>> But if you look at Bush's outgoing speech welcoming President Obama, it's full of class.
Okay, there's the word. That's what's missing. There's just no class. The country feels kind of ragged and tattered right now. There's no class whatsoever. But but based on Christa's email, why are we letting get Why are we letting us get this? Why are we letting this >> Oh, why are we letting this get us down?
>> And there we just have a stroke, Joe.
>> Earth Day. Earth Day. Earth Day. Earth day. You know, you mentioned Christa.
She went to a ball game. You said >> pirates.
>> What I says to the Pirates?
>> They're fighting back right now.
>> Two and a half games.
>> But I got you.
>> But I got you.
>> But I got you.
>> Two and a half games out in the National League Central.
>> Thank you, Matthew.
>> I watched them last night play San Fran.
>> You are so full of S.
>> Yes.
>> They're actually three games above 500 and in last place. That's a good division.
>> Good job, >> Joe. frequently in the summer get on a two-lane black top and drive one of those little Brit cars to some destination. God knows what you're doing. We're not going to ask any questions. We don't know want to know about your word and lifestyle.
>> But when you're out there and you're going through these little onehorse towns, do you feel different in your in in your soul, in your heart? Do you see what I'm saying about >> Absolutely.
>> Okay.
>> Absolutely.
>> Yeah. I I think maybe that's why I'm a little bit the way I am. I'm I certainly haven't been the way I am now my whole life. I I didn't know what happiness was until I moved to the country. I was angry all the time. Love driving through a small town.
>> Yeah.
>> Harmony, Minnesota. I was just there.
>> They got the spirits.
>> Yes.

>> Today. May I have the Ilhan Omar update, please?
>> Here is your latest Ilhan Omar report on Garage Logic.
>> I believe her now. I believe her.
>> Oh, you're on team Ilhan?
>> Wow.
>> I mean, it was just an accounting. I also believe she has 61 goals this year for the frost.
>> I'm with her 100%. Yes.
>> Say the only update is I thought maybe the Sahan Journal which has done some intensive work in the past uh I thought maybe they would be examining this nonsense about Omar having an accounting error. Uh the last and I all I could find with the last reference to Ilhan Omar in the Sahan journal is March 3rd. So they're not uh perhaps they're going to look look at it someday, but they're >> you know who is going to break it down in a major way.
>> News from the Krabby Coffee Shop.
>> Today >> we're having uh Professor David Schultz on. He's a political science professor.
You know what David also is? a fighter, >> a CPA.
>> Is he really?
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, he's going to teach us some magical accounting skills. Uh, but we're going to break it down. He's got a lot to say about it. And we're going to start at the very beginning from her first setting foot on this continent.
Uh, right up until today. We're going to cover it all.
>> When did it come up? Uh, when did the hull start that she we s all suddenly discovered that she was worth 30 million? Was that just this winter? That was last year when she filed. We wondered how she jumped to 30 million.
It was her last uh release >> and correct if I'm remembering >> correctly. I think I can tell by John's posture he's trying to help me. Uh because the the other question then becomes, well, if that was just a simple error, why did it take so long to get discovered?
>> Question of the day. But there's also a portion of it that has to do with her husband's winery because didn't they dissolve?
>> I don't care what's involved with it.
What What took so long? We found out >> we got a pencil missing. Rook >> in >> May of 2025, Joe is when it first uh appeared under >> and what was the context?
>> Uh it was uh put you know they have to put disclosures out every year members of Congress. It was in her latest financial disclosure which was filed in May 2025 and covered 2024.
>> Oh, okay. So, a year goes by.
>> Mhm.
>> Before we are told implausibly that that was an accounting error. A year.
>> Whoopsie.
>> It's almost May.
>> I'll be damned. I think the most important thing and the one thing that I want to spend the most time talking about uh on Krabby uh with David Schultz is the fraud connection. I mean, I think there's a very important connection to be made on how the bill she supported um passed through right away in the early early days of CO and that opened up the door for all of the fraud we're seeing.
I would like to return to the uh Boundary Waters area even though proposed mining there is not within the Boundary Waters. Have a great email from Brady Brady Luans who writes, "Hail the flashlight king.
>> Hail you."
>> That was more like it. As a loyal listener, I've often thought about weighing in on the various topics you and your cronies discuss on a daily basis, but have chosen to listen rather than engage. When the topic of the removal of the mining ban came up last week, I thought I could offer a local perspective on the issue that I have not heard to this point. I was born and raised in Elely and have remained here to this day. As a child, I was fortunate to have a father that introduced me to the outdoors and developed the desire to explore all the boundary waters in the Quetico Park had to offer. Like other youth in the area, I worked at a local canoe outfitter in the summers, assisting wouldbe adventurers heading out and hopefully returning from their week of exploration into the wilderness.
We also spent all of our free time fishing, hunting, and camping throughout the park and loved every minute of it. I continue these activities today with my family, sometimes under protest, but always valuing the time spent. I write all of this to hopefully add some credence to what follows.
When the topic of pristine wilderness is brought up by the armchair warriors that stomp their feet when discussing potential mining projects, I often wonder if they truly know the history of the area. I have hunted ducks on an island in Basswood Lake where all the resorts used to dump their garbage. The shoreline is primarily made up of old tin cans and glass bottles from the 50s and 60s hiding just below the surface of the water. Do they know that when they close these resorts, Forest Service employees were caught dumping cabin contents into the lake rather than hauling it out? They also know that most of the park was logged at one time and the evidence of this while fading is still present today. I could go on w with 20 other examples of human habitation and activity that directly contradicts the word pristine. I also say this as someone who enjoys the land for what it is, not what it is made out to be. I wholeheartedly agree that this place is good for a person's soul. And like most others who have experienced this area and remain to make it their home, I will continue to enjoy it. I want to offer one more spe perspective when it comes to mining.
I am employed by one of the tachinite operations that have been producing material to make steel for this nation for nearly 70 years. The environmental controls that are in place now, as Miss Lucas stated last week, have turned an industry that had historically questionable performance at times into one of the most environmentally sound extraction industries in the world. The state of Minnesota has permitting guidelines and requirements in place to ensure that all mining operations are meeting or exceeding the standards for proper environmental stewardship.
I would not think that the copper nickel projects would be treated any differently. As you've discussed, environmental groups such as Save the Boundary Waters, Northeastern motans for wilderness, friends of the Boundary Waters, and the Sierra Club all wage their social media wars on devices made with the exact materials these mining projects will produce.
What also hasn't been highlighted enough is the fact that these operations pay workers livable wages. They contribute not only to the local economies but statewide via the tachinite tax. Tourism is a part of the economic fabric of the area. But it does not compare to the revenue generated by the mining operations or the people who work for them. If nothing else, one would think that these left-leaning organizations would see the potential tax dollars as a gold mine to be redistributed.
My apologies for the length of this email. There are many more aspects of this that I would love to go into, but I won't monopolize any more of your time.
It will be interesting to see how the projects develop and the time frame any meaningful progress is made. Thank you for your show and the smiles it brings each day when I'm driving to work so I can cover my 43% property tax increase for 2026. That's right. It's not just the metro that's getting stuck with the social justice tab. Good luck, Brady Luans at Elely, Minnesota. Brady, I'm appointing you our correspondent.
>> Wow.
>> I'm appointing Brady as our as our eleant.
Brady, I hope you accept that promotion >> or position.
>> Well, it's an honorary honorary position.
>> Could be honorary or not paid, of course.
>> Thank you, Brady. I would love to hear more from him. I think that's uh right up our alley. Would you like to take a time out and hear from Mr. Height?
>> I would.
>> All right. Good job.
>> But you know what I'd like to do first?
>> Huh?
>> Talk to you about North American Banking Company.
>> I like banks. They got the That's where the money is.
>> I like banks. Yes, I do.
>> I like banks. How about you?
>> Hey. Hey. Hey.
>> What's up, >> dog?
>> Nothing much, dog. What's up with you?
>> Yeah. Come on.
>> To create a better baking experience.
Joe, that's their tagline. And you know why? Since 1998, they decided to make that their mission. And you know what?

>> May I echo something Kenny said? Uh, I would call right away. Uh, what I'm s any outdoor work right now that you're trying to get done, these places are swamped >> and I'm sensing something.
>> What are you sensing? I'm sensing a COVID era like belief that people uh given current economic conditions in this country, I believe people are circling their wagons again around their own property and their house and they're probably not going to take the $20,000 vacation and haul 10 kids to Disneyland.
They're working on their property. And it's been my experience uh with some outdoor needs that these people are busy.
>> That's all I was going to say. That's all I was going to say.
>> Uh how much did you order when you ordered the uh >> I did not order any mulch this year >> cuz I do have to order some mulch.
>> Don't don't don't use me as your guide.
>> I'm going to do the bulk thing.
>> Here's John Height.
>> Uh thank you, Joe. This news is brought to you by North American Banking Company. Uh we started the show with your uh captain Alfred McLaren in the baseball game.
>> He went to the North Pole and had a baseball game. He poked his sub up through the ice and here we went.
>> We had some confusion there at the end of the conversation.
>> We didn't have any confusion. Reavers interrupted us.
>> Well, I was I wanted to be nice. I didn't want to mention John holding back. Okay.
>> But uh let me give it to you. This is from the United States Naval Academy.com.
The actual words of Captain McLaren. All right.
>> How this all happened. He said, "We laid out a baseball diamond on the generally flat yet still quite rugged ice surface with a base placed at each point of the diamond. The baseball pitcher mound, which is located in the center of the diamond, was positioned at our best estimate of the North Pole. The diamond was then aligned such that the following interesting/amusing things would occur during the course of the game. If the batter hit a home run, he would circumn the world as he ran around the bases to home plate.
>> Cool. Second, if the batter hit the ball to right field, the ball would go across the international date line into tomorrow. And if the ball player from the opposing team in right field caught the ball and threw it back toward the pitcher mound, he would be throwing the ball back into yesterday.
>> Fantastic. During the game, sliding into the bases on the sea ice took on a new meaning, and we were never sure just exactly what day we finished the game.
>> Thank you.
>> That's his explanation.
>> Wonderful how the whole thing worked.
>> You don't say a word. You don't say a word. Thank you, John.
>> I think he was listening to something else. He went down the rabbit hole of >> He's watching cartoons.
>> DC cartoons. Uh, city leaders need Dynamite say the push back outweighed the support for a $20 million pedestrian tunnel. That project would have built the underpass beneath a busy stretch of France Avenue between West 72nd Street and Gallagher Drive. Some were in support and the timing is ideal, they said, because of construction projects on both sides of France. But at last night's meeting, the council was set to vote on approving nearly $400,000 contract to finalize design plans.
Instead, all but one voted in favor to pause all planning and funding for the pedestrian tunnel. Still, council member Kate Agnu plans to continue to fight for that vision. She said, quote, "I think that suspending conversation on this, whether it's still 2027 or 2028, is an overcorrection based on a vocal contingency when I think that there's a very strong voice that's missing from the conversation right now. And that's the hundreds, if not over 10,000 people who would be living in that direct vicinity.
>> Ironically, I was at that intersection a week ago today, not knowing about that was the intersection where this tunnel had been proposed. And I do remember thinking to myself, I wouldn't want a kid trying to cross these four lanes of traffic.
>> Give me the Give me the streets again.
It's halfway between highway uh you know 494 and and cross town.
>> Yeah. Thank you. I need the streets.
John >> West 72nd Street.
>> Oh 72nd. All right.
>> Gallagher Drive.
>> What's your problem?
>> You're not let He's mute now. He's mute for the rest of the show. He's frustrated.
>> What?
>> And another thing about that area, I don't know if you've noticed, Joe, you probably noticed. It's a drag race to each stop. I mean, you put your foot into it. It's >> a fun driving there.
>> Yeah. Yeah. But a pedestrian oofa.
>> I think what Chris was going to say was, which is what you just said in his place, I drove over that intersection about two weeks ago with the boys. We were going to a town ball game. And he was going to say something like that.
>> Shush.
>> Okay.
>> In one of Minnesota's >> on mute. I just have to shush. In one of Minnesota's fastest growing suburbs, city leaders are doing something that might seem counterintuitive in a housing crunch. They're stopping building for now. This is in Lakeville. The city council has approved a one-year moratorum on certain new residential development, saying the city needs time to catch up with the rapid growth they've had recently. They need to assess pressure on schools and infrastructure and understand how potential state zoning changes might reshape its future. The pause does not stop all construction. Hundreds of already approved lots can still be built and homes already in the pipeline can move forward. But for at least the next several months, new plats, resonings, and certain land use applications are on hold while the city studies what comes next. According to the city, the population has climbed from 69,490 in the 2020 census to 77,971.
That's an increase of almost 8,500 residents or 12.2 2% in just 6 years.
The city sits around 78,000 residents if current trends continue. They expect Lakeville could reach 90,000 people within the next 5 to 8 years.
>> So that's where they a developer will all throw up a whole neighborhood, right? That's what you're talking about there.
>> Yeah.
>> Spec homes.
>> Yeah. All right.
>> State Senator John Hoffman proposed a new bill yesterday. Uh, no. This morning, I'm sorry. Designed to increase security for elected officials. Senator Hoffman called for a new unit within the state patrol to investigate threats against election officials and provide protection when needed. Hoffman, of course, is speaking from personal experience. Shooter injured him and his wife and traumatized their daughter, Hope, last summer. Prosecutors say the gunman then went on to shoot and kill Minnesota House Speaker Ammerida Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. This proposal would add 30 to 38 new members to the state patrol, 11 of whom would be sworn troopers. The rest of the new personnel would be support and administration staff. The new unit would have personnel stationed at the state house, the Minnesota Supreme Court, and the offices of the Minnesota Attorney General, Secretary of State, and State Auditor. State estimates the proposed new protection services unit would cost about $13.1 million in the first year and just over 12 million year after that. Wasn't there a movie actress named Hope? Who am I thinking of?
>> TV maybe. It's not It's not important.
I'm sorry.
>> Hope was on Days of Our Lives.
>> I'm sorry I said it out loud.
>> Hope Lang, >> do you have any idea down there?
>> Reverse.
>> Hope Davis. Hope Lang. Hope >> Lang. Maybe. Maybe that's what >> Oh, gee. Thanks. I wish I'd have said that a minute ago.
>> I didn't hear you, John. I'm sorry because >> I hope this segment ends.
>> We lost her in 03 at >> Matt. I don't need to know that >> she was in the ghost and Mrs. Mure.
Correct.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
>> Lot of spouses.
>> My fault.
>> Three spouses.
>> Oh, my fault.
>> I hate to be the buzzkill here.
>> Yeah. What do you got?
>> Uh, how many troopers do you have in that story, John, that currently are assigned to the Capitol complex?
>> I do not have in that story >> is I have only 14. That's all I can find. And I hear them log on every morning. Hm.
>> So what would the what would the number be with this new program?
>> 11 of them would be sworn troopers. So that you'd be have what 25 then.
>> Okay.
>> And the rest would be support and administration staff.
>> Okay. Um here I'm seeing 50 nonsworn capital security officers. What are those like squirrel chasers? Those are rented cops >> probably.
>> What are they?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. All right. Best Buy has announced its CEO, Cory Barry, is leaving the company later this year. The Richfield-based company says that Jason Bonfig will replace Barry when she officially steps down at the end of the third fiscal quarter. Bonfig right now is the company's chief customer, product, and fulfillment officer, and he'll also now join the board. The change comes as Best Buy looks to boost revenue numbers that have largely fallen over the past four years. The 51-year-old Barry has led the Richfield-based electronics retailer for 7 years and was the youngest CEO of a Fortune 100 company when she took the office. Her final day will be October 31st. Bonfig will become the sixth CEO in the company's history. Best Buy currently has about 80,000 employees.
And President Trump nominated University of Minnesota economist Christopher Failen to be the next chairman of the White House Council of Economic Adviserss yesterday. A key position for conducting analysis of the economy and the administration's policies. If confirmed by the Senate, Failen would succeed Steven Meiron, a Harvard University trained economist who worked at investment funds and joined the Federal Reserve Board of Governors last September. The council's vice chairman, Pierre Yured, had served as acting lead after the president shifted Miran to the Fed. Failen's resume suggests keen interest in the ops of central banks, a major interest of the president, who has pressured the Fed to dramatically cut its benchmark interest rates to drive stronger growth, even though doing so could risk higher inflation. You think it's a a a bummer where somebody's in their field, they get to the top of their field and they get the call from the White House to to be the big wig and it's from President Trump. Like, do I really want to work with you?
>> Maybe not. You wouldn't want to. What would your uh what would it take for you?
>> I don't know anything about that.
>> How much am I getting paid?

In other news, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had seized two container ships today in the area of the contested straight of Hormuz. Iranian news media reporting hours after President Trump announced he was extending the ceasefire there.
Earlier on Wednesday, UK Maritime Trade Operations, a shipping monitor run by the British Navy, reported two ships had been attacked near the straight, one by a gunboat belonging to the Revolutionary Guards. Iranian news media reported the guards had targeted two cargo vessels, the MSC Francesca and Epanaminos. and the forces Navy later claimed to have seized the ships after they attempted to navigate, in their words, without the necessary permits. Meanwhile, it appears the US blockade of the straight not working as well as they'd like after dozens of Iranian vessels secretly slipped past US surveillance. The Financial Times reporting 34 Iranian oil takers have slipped through the blockade, 19 vessels exiting the Persian Gulf, another 15 ships entering from the Arabian Sea toward Iran. John, it's been very difficult to determine what's working and not working in the straight of war moves. We turn now >> to our correspondent in the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Vogle.

Virginia voters approved a mid decade redistricting plan yesterday that could boost Democrats chances of winning four additional US House seats in November's midterm elections. The constitutional amendment narrowly backed by voters bypassed a bipartisan redistricting commission to allow the use of new districts drawn by Virginia's Democratic lee.
But the public vote might not be the final word. The state supreme court is considering whether the plan is illegal in a case that could make the referendum results meaningless. The Virginia redistricting referendum marked a setback for President Trump, who kicked off a national redistricting battle last year by urging Republican officials to in Texas to uh redraw districts. The goal was to help Republicans win more seats in the November elections and hold on to a narrow House majority. that lead to Democrats red uh re that led excuse me to Democrats redistricting in California and Virginia making the gains in Texas a moot point. Maybe from now on when we contact Mr. Vogle maybe we could send Jimmy there and then Jimmy could uh help us understand some things that maybe we don't understand.
>> Well, it's tough to speak Jimmy too.
>> We'll consider >> he's a little slower so it's okay.
>> Yeah.
>> You're saying almost as in like a >> an interpreter. Okay, gotcha.
>> Update to a story we had yesterday.
Representative Sheila Sherillis McCormack, Democrat from Florida, has resigned from Congress.
>> She was a crook.
>> Her resignation on Tuesday came shortly before the House Ethics Committee was due to meet to decide on a punishment for the third term lawmaker, including a potential expulsion vote.
>> You can't fire me, I quit.
>> Sheriff Phyllis McCormack faces federal charges. Prosecutors alleging the lawmaker and her brother stole 5 million bucks in federal disaster funds stemming from an overpayment related to co 19 vaccinations to their health care company. The House Ethics Committee found she used some of that money to fund her first congressional campaign.
In a statement posted to social media, McCormack criticized the House Ethics Committee process as a witch hunt and alleged that because the panel moved forward at the same time that her indictment was pending, she was prevented from properly defending herself. Her resignation is the third in a series of April resignations from the House. Democrat Eric Swallwell of California and Republican Tony Gonzalez of Texas resigned under pressure in the wake of sexual misconduct scandals.
Another House Republican, Representative Corey Mills of Florida, is also facing an ethics committee investigation. Could face an expulsion vote soon.
>> I wonder if she was wearing the large diamond ring she purchased during the hearing. Maybe she left it at home.
>> Children aged 17 or under will face a lifelong ban on buying cigarettes in a new bill in Great Britain. The tobacco and vapes bill passed through parliament and will make it illegal for anyone born after 2008 to ever buy tobacco from a shop. Ministers will also be able to bring in tighter regulations on vapes, tobacco, and other nicotine products.
Both the Commons and Lords have approved a final draft of legislation. It is set to become law once it gets royal approval. The bill is part of a series of reforms designed to combat the health effects of smoking. Other measures include an expansion of smoke-free laws, making it illegal to vape in cars carrying children outside schools or outside hospitals. Vaping outside hospitals would still be allowed as a way to support those trying to quit. Pub gardens, beaches, private outdoor spaces, and other outdoor hospitality spaces are also not included in the measures. Brits will still be able to smoke and vape inside their homes.
>> Well, isn't that Thank you for that.
>> Thank you very much. Uh, I don't know what's more disappointing. The fact that that has had to be introduced as legislation or the fact that people before born before 2008 can buy cigarettes, meaning God, we're old.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, speaking of that and social engineering, I was wondering what it was like uh for I know it was what it was like for me, but for John and Joe, were you ever sent on an errand um to buy cigarettes for your parents?
>> Sure. Oh, Mary Ellen had us send you all the time.
>> I was doing right up till she died.
>> Yeah. What do you want, Dad? Winston's or Paul Mauls.
>> But not even that, the fact that you could go up to the cigarette machine and you had to do that the pull crank.
>> We knew how it worked.
>> Yeah. I mean, it's I didn't need a note.
You could just buy them.
>> When I was in about seventh grade, my dad came to me and said, "Don't bother hiding cigarettes from me. I'll just get them for you. Don't worry about it."
>> We're good here.
So Joe, you were almost the first like Uber Eats back in the day.
>> Only with cigarettes >> when you rolled up onto the facility.
>> I knew where it was.
>> Where was it?
>> Second floor.
>> You can get there.
>> Second floor up there.
>> The guy or gal running the joint knew that you were being on the up and up because they knew your parents and they knew their brand. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> She's on the second floor.
>> She's uh she's up there someplace. We'll find it. Oh, you're talking later. He's okay. But if he's going to get the marble, >> I was talking when you when you were a youth, Joe, when you were a kid.
>> That would have been Jerry Elliott's East Shore Grocery and Jerry' sell them to you and then he'd say, "Hurry back.
Hurry back."
>> Like Mr. B.
>> Three blocks south of my house in Mandan, North Dakota, M&H. My mother would send me down there all the time when I was 12 years old and they'd, you know, sure, here you go. Here's a packet.
>> I'd go to the bowling alley. Oh, you read my >> in Alec.
>> No, I don't live in Alec, you jackass.
>> Shut up with that.
>> Okay. Sorry. All right.
>> You've been to my town.
>> No, I met when you were I thought you were referenced when you were a kid.
I've never lived in Alexandria.
>> Oh, right.
>> I've never been up to the house.
>> Come on.
>> I have probably I have a musician death.
>> 10 years ago.
>> Oh, Dave Mason. I bet >> Dave Mason. Very good. Joe Dave Mason.
English singer, songwriter, guitarist who wrote mainstays of the classic rock cannon like feeling all right and only you know what and I know founding member of the seminal band Traffic has died at the age of 79 as a solo artist Mason racked up three gold albums including his solo debut in 1970 one of the finest albums you can listen to I love Mason >> Alone Together great album 1970 uh contains some of his most highly regarded songs he also scored one platinum album, Let It Flow. It was boosted by his top charting single, We Just Disagree, which reached number 12 in 1977.
His lead guitar work, marked by fine fingerings, fiery solos, soulful phrasings, that was written by the New York Times, was a consistent feature of his solo career. Mason also worked as a session musician. A lot of people don't know this, but uh he's the guy on Street Fighting Man by the Stones who had the uh the whailing sounds >> of the guitar of actually was an Indian Reed instrument he was playing, not a guitar. And the uh all along the Watchtower acoustic guitar that leads to all of Hendricks's playing is also Dave Mason.
>> I'll be damned.
>> So there together naturally.
>> What?
>> I don't know what song that is, Rook, but it's not Dave Mason. Alone Together by Gilbert O' Sullivan.
>> That's some vaudeville act you're thinking of.
>> What's that got to do with this?
>> Alone Together?
>> That's not the song.
>> What is it? Alone Again.
>> Alone Again.
>> Continue, please. Naturally, >> he joined an early version of Derek and the Dominoes. That was Clapton's band, of course, but he quit before uh things got rolling. Played guitar on George Harrison's All Thing Must Pass album.
Played with Paul McCartney and Wings in 1975, including on the hit single Listen to what the man said. Uh his career though had some had some issues. Two bankruptcies, uh lot of unfavorable recording deals, lots of lawsuits. In 1970s, he battled his former label in court over the ownership of his master recordings. Mason told Goldmine magazine, "Successfully navigating the peaks and valleys of his career was a point of pride." He said he's been through four earthquakes, three marriages, two bankruptcies, one major hurricane, and survived the music business. That's pretty good. Uh he also wrote a book in 2024 which uh I did read and the uh most distressing part was he spent 30 years I don't know how you do this live to 79 as a habitual cocaine user.
>> 30 straight years.
>> Define habitual.
>> Habitual meaning like people smoke cigarettes. Okay. All right.
>> Like daily. And you know >> was his nose caved in?
>> No. He had no health issues because >> Oh, that's actually a thing. Although he did he did lose he went off the road last year because of health issues which I'm sure must have been related somehow to how he treated his body. So anyway, Dave Mason dead at 79.
>> Your nose implodes.

>> She died in Huntsville, Alabama. uh new information uncovering texts she had written to friends uh really cast doubt on the fact that it was a suicide.
>> Okay.
>> She uh wrote to her friends, "If anything happens to me uh and it's called a suicide, that didn't happen."
>> Holy buck, >> she writes, "And this is the Daily Mail.
I don't know where they get their money, but my god, they devote a lot of time to this story." and uh they've reprinted the texts that have been discovered.
She uh uh she had a friend named Milbour says Esther's message to him saying that a number of her research lab a member of her research lab with advanced weapons experience was convinced a directed energy weapon had caused her injury. She suffered some burns before she died. My ex CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really badly a couple of months ago and he saw that the window pane in my house was burned.
I I'm jumping ahead in the story. I apologize. My my point is uh here's a text she wrote. I don't know. It was creepy enough for me to tell several other people like, "Hey, if anyone reports that I killed myself, I bleeping did not."
>> Some of them were like, "Yeah, I know that did happen to me, too." Yep.
Someone is absolutely trying to taunt you into killing yourself. It's real and don't do it. With pretty nuanced advice on how to navigate it. That's absurd.
It's again bleeping disturbing that I can report this current thing to my inner circle of scientists in the US.
And some of them are like, "Yep, that happened to me. They're going to ask you to kill yourself and taunt you for a while about it. Just don't do it. Those guys are." And then she blanked that word is blanked out. What the actual bleep? Who are these bleeping people?
And how common is this exactly? What the hell? She she wrote uh and she shows a picture of her hands that apparently were burned in some spy situation.
>> A directed energy weapon. Really interesting. I've never heard of anything like this.
>> Uh capable of Let me find the details for you. You keep going. I want to find the details on this weapon. Uh she uh in a statement to CNN, Escridge's family said she was a marvelously intelligent person who suffered from chronic pain.
Uh people should realize that scientists die also and not make too much of this.
So her parents are on board in not getting too excited about this. Yeah, scientists die, but not 11 of the >> See, 11 to me is is a number that's worth wondering what the hell's going on.
>> Here's an interesting quote for you, Joe. My ex, this is the gal talking. My ex CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really bad a couple of months ago. He saw the window pane in person. He said that he had built things like that and it was most likely an RFK band emitter run by five car batteries strung together from inside an SUV.
We don't know who's doing this or if in fact she committed suicide, but there's another story in the news today.
>> Have there been boy this is a real grim question. Have there been other cases?
Is this a form of mental illness where somebody says if I end up dead and they say I killed myself, I didn't. And then they go ahead and kill themselves.
>> I don't know.
>> Is that a thing?
>> Just after the Clinton years.
>> I'm looking at a picture of her. She's just seems like a cool gal. That's I don't know if you can tell anything from that. But here's a decorated veteran pilot, aerospace engineer, and defense researcher was killed in a private plane crash in South Carolina last week.
raising questions about whether the incident is related to the deaths and disappearances of 11 scientists tied to nuclear and space research. James Tony Moffett, 60, was flying with his wife Lisa and sons Andrew and William, who are 30 and 28 years old when the plane crashed in a wooded area near the runway at Union County Airport in South Carolina just this past Friday.
Family was from Huntsville, Alabama.
That's where Amy was from, was traveling from the Raleigh Durham area of North Carolina to Huntsville and had stopped in Union City to refuel. The Union County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred at 6:30 p.m. The family was flying a Mooney M20 single engine aircraft. Uh there's no one suggesting that it it's a conspiracy, but now I'm wondering because this would be number 12.
Authorities have not yet not yet released a cause of the crash as the NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration investigate the incident. Mafett is the latest scientist with ties to aerospace research at NASA to make headlines with the deaths and disappearances of 11 individuals with similar backgrounds raising concerns. His son Andrew was an upandcoming researcher at the time of his death. The 30-year-old was a research engineer and scientist at the University of Bell Alabama in Huntsville Research and Engineering Support Center.
The Elder Mafet earned a master's in aerospace engineering from Georgia Tech and previously studied as an experimental test pilot for the Navy.
Following a 21-year military career uh career, excuse me, Moffett worked as a payload and flight crew support specialist at NASA's Johnson Space Center astronaut office where he participated in 14 space shuttle construction missions.
Uh sound like a pretty experienced pilot, huh?
Michael David Hicks, Frank Maywwell, Nuno Laro, Jason Thomas, Amy Escridge, Carl Germer all died between 2022 and 2026.
Monica Reza, Melissa Casius, Anthony Chavez, Steven Garcia, retired Air Force Major General William Neil McCastland, all reported missing from 2023 to 2026, which with each of the disappearances occurring under suspicious circumstances.
So there it is folks among the other problems we have.
Uh will this will anyone get to the bottom of this?
>> Well, the president said on February to release it. Will they? That's the question. Do you know who Representative Tim Burchett is of Tennessee?
>> Yes.
>> He's one of the guys that uh wants the information to be released. He says he's seen pictures and videos of things that defy any reason that we have. And everybody says, "Well, it's our stuff.
It's the Russians. It's the Chinese." He added, "If it's the Chinese, ma'am, they would own us. If it was the Russians, they wouldn't be bogged down in Ukraine.
And if it was ours, we would never risk our military fighting men and women in half billion dollar aircrafts out there with these things they're spotting."
>> Mhm. He says they can hover for hours on end and that they can shoot straight up uh and they can do angles. I don't know.
Will it ever be revealed?
I don't know. And how interesting these 11 people now 12 if you count the airplane guy and that's that's a stretch on my part to count the airplane guy but and his son uh who was a researcher. So that would make it 13.
Uh it would be what what similarity did all 13 have where they would have crossed paths at the at the same point of information. There must be a point of information at which if there's if this is a conspiracy, there must be a point of information at which they were not entitled to know that they they they came they all 13 let's say they they at some point in a commonality >> at some point in their careers they had a commonality with information that was considered too forbidden for them to know. That would be my guess >> with Esk Ridge.
>> Yeah.
>> She thinks it's uh or she thought it was the technology that she was working on at the time she had founded her own research lab and was trying to develop anti-gravity technology.
>> Okay. But if they're that successful and they're in the the the club, whatever the club is, and they're writing notes to family and friends, if I'm gone, it's not suicide. Wouldn't there be a a a a paper trail or a leak of some sort where they they go and have coffee together and explain to each other what's going on?
>> I don't know. I you know, we we've had that old saying on this show that we get frustrated that nothing can ever be what it seems. Why can't it just be that Amy Estridge committed suicide?
Why do we have to assume it was something beyond that? Well, we're assuming something beyond that because A, she said, "Don't don't buy that BS."
And B, she's one of 13 in similar careers missing. The missing ones are the ones that are most intriguing. They left homes without their phone, but they had their wallet and their gun and they left and went for a walk and they've never been heard from or seen from again.
>> But who cares if Jane Doe is working on anti-gravity? That's the point where I said earlier it they must have all at some point touched upon a commonality that that was >> that they weren't supposed to.
>> I don't know. I don't know.
>> What do I know?
>> No, but it just it's peculiar that 11 of those people >> What was the program Jane was working on? The anti >> anti-gravity.
>> Yeah.
and she thought that other defense contractors would be were on to her and wanted her to stop her.
>> Maybe it's money. Maybe anti-gravity is worth billions of dollars to somebody who has the means to put together a consortium to develop it, but they'd have to own it and she was on top of trying to figure it out.
>> Cut to the chase then. What are you suggesting?
>> Those anti-gravity machines.
>> Well, I don't know what I'm suggesting.
>> Oh, I thought you were going somewhere with that. Well, either either either the Russians, the Chinese, and the US are bumping these people off or the aliens are bumping them off. We just don't know what's going on.
>> What's your take?
>> No, I I I was wait I thought you were going somewhere I wish I had someplace to go cuz I happen to believe that uh part of our life experience right now is going to be an increasing exposure or discovery of exactly what the hell's going on.
>> You wait. No, I got I got what you're doing. You have a theory.
>> I think you know. I think >> you just don't want to go there because you don't want to be number 12.
>> I don't know anything.
>> Give me your phone. I don't know what's going on.
>> Yeah.
>> Garage logic. Nope. He's gone.
>> He gone.
>> He gone.
>> He going nowhere.
>> Okay. There the >> Why do the guy I'm not I'm not >> The interests have finally gained the attention of the House Oversight Committee. That's James Comr again. He of the Ilhan Omar doubts.
>> By the way, she's having a rough day today.
>> Who?
>> Ilhan.
>> She's like a cornered rat.
>> We'll have more on tomorrow's program.
>> Well, something urgent we need to know.
Not not really. But uh she's being uh she's being asked some tough questions.
>> By who?
>> The press.
>> Well, there is no press around here that will ask her tough questions.
>> No, it's in Washington.
>> Oh, >> yeah.
>> If this if the Star Tribune had any desire to be a real >> Wait, go ahead. Finish your thought.
>> Had any desire to be a real newspaper, they they'd quit writing about Prince and get five people on this to get to the bottom of this.
>> Did you know he died 10 years ago?
>> Yeah, I did know that.
Purple Rain.
>> Who's your favorite princess song?
>> Uh, Rock and Roll Love Affair.
>> Lady Cab Driver.
>> Lady Cab Driver is a good >> It's dirty. Dirty.
