The logical end game of democratic socialism in America involves implementing policies such as publicly-owned social housing with strict regulations, eliminating incarceration and police, and treating crime as non-existent, which would ultimately lead to citizens being told where to live, eat, and work, with no incentive for personal achievement or economic growth.

>> Hail the flashlight king.
And now from the mayor's office above the boat house on the east shore of Spoon Lake, [music] it's Garage Logic with Chris Rever's Manning Technology Corner, Kenny Olsen from the Krabby Coffee Shop, John Height in the newsroom, and of course, the rookie. Here is your flashlight king, fireworks commissioner, and the keeper of common sense, your mayor, Joe Sushi.
I have some emails I wish to clear from the spindle.
Uh, the mink writes, "You'll recall that in years past we had Joe on a stick. I still use mine to scare the neighbor kids, but he's got a great idea. How about Marjorie on a stick? Maybe not enough lead time for this year, but not a bad idea. Maybe one of the crack uh maybe one of our crack marketeers can rustle something up."
>> That's a good idea. There should be a margger on a stick. Yes.
>> It wouldn't have to be very big.
[laughter] >> Paul Petrauski. Now, yesterday I told you of my adventure following this horrible crime in St. Paul. And at one point, the helicopter was hovering above my house.
>> And you know, I was wondering if I was being signaled or not.
And he writes, "As you told the story of the horrific shooting yesterday, I could not help but think that while the helicopter was hovering over your head, you may have felt as though you were a person of interest. Well, at least until they saw the hose in your hand and the confident point to your house." It took me back to the time when I was actually labeled a person of interest by the Secret Service. Back in 2015, the Obama era, we visited DC. We were staying in a hotel on Constitution Avenue near the White House. They had a lovely rooftop patio and before the rest of the family got up, I grabbed a cup of coffee and my binoculars to check things out and watch airplanes follow the PTOAC as they approached Reagan. I also had earbuds in to listen to the air traffic control on an app I have and was watching Flight Radar 24 on my phone. I was really nerding out. I was there for about an hour and my coffee ran out, so I went down to grab another cup. Upon my return, the couple that were sharing the deck with me said, "You just missed it."
Two guys from the Secret Service were just up here asking questions about you.
They said they were watching me from the roof of the White House and wondered what I was up to. The couple had my back and told the officers that I was up there watching planes and that satisfied them because they were gone when I came back. At that point, I made what considered a wise decision and ended my plane spotting for the rest of the trip.
Wow. Paul Petrazooski, president of the Royal Order of 21st Dallas, Texas chapter, where my backyard thermometer read 109 for a short time on this lovely autumn day.
>> Paul, you are a Uber nerd. [laughter] >> I told you guys the story of that happening to me in San Diego. What happened >> when I uh first was uh cracked into the business? I worked for a magazine and I was sent to San Clemente, the winter white house of Richard Nixon.
>> And uh I had a Nikon camera.
>> I do remember this.
>> From the company I work for.
>> You had the hair do then, didn't you?
>> I think I did.
>> Yeah, you had the hair. And and I walked down to the beach and I approached Nixon's estate, which I could see up on a bluff.
>> Oh my god, you're such a robe.
>> And I was taking pictures.
>> I'm so embar I have secondhand embarrassment for you.
>> And there was a sign that said, "No, do not go beyond this point." Security, I would imagine. Well, of course I went beyond that point. [laughter] >> Of course you did. and took pictures of his house and and uh walked back. Didn't think anything of it. The next morning I was at a at the counter in the hotel I was staying at. That was the hotel that had the communications room for the Western White House. Okay.
>> So, if he had to hit the nuke button, that's where he would have had to go.
But I was at the at the counter and I was suddenly flanked by two Secret Service guys and they said, "Uh, did you see the sign on the beach?" [laughter] >> I I said I Yeah. Well, don't do that again. Okay. You're one of these idiots that come to the country and completely disregard the no trespassing signs and blunder into maybe the worst crime scenes that exist that would, you know, remain unreported if you rubs weren't out there walking around. And you you didn't hear the best part of their story.
>> No, keep going.
>> They didn't arrest me and they just said, "Watch yourself." Blah, blah, blah.
>> Yeah. 30 seconds of talking with them, they went, "Oh, this guy's harmless."
So, I went back to my room and uh finished the assignment or whatever and flew out the next day or whatever it was and gave the camera as I usually did.
Upon my return to the people in the photography department, all of the film was blank.
[laughter] The film in the camera was completely blank.
>> It wiped her out.
>> Yeah.
>> What? Wait a minute. Did they open the back door or did you forget to take the lens cap off?
No, I I had the lens cap off. Are you sure?
>> They they were able to uh they were a able to eliminate the film.
>> So, what do you Wait a minute. Did they sneak into your room?
>> I'm sure they had a key from the front desk, then flashed their badges and said, "We need to get in this room."
>> I refuse to believe that it was anything that awesome. It had to be due to your blundering, Joe. Come on. We all know you better than this. Let me let me tell you something. You can you can believe whatever you want. [laughter] >> No, it was somehow it was your accidental blundering.
>> That's the best one of the best stories I've heard you tell. I thought you were going to say they picked you up by the armpits and dragged you to the [laughter] started flogging you with hoses or something.
>> Did you ever make the enemies list?
>> I wanted to.
>> Oh, he tried.
>> Joe, this is from Jennifer. My husband, also Joe, is a longtime Gller. We are planning a two-day state fair experience for the first time this year with friends Nate, who is also a longtime Geller. Should be epic. But I need to confirm the date will be at the fair.
Not that I don't trust those guys, meaning her husband's the husband's listening skills, but we feel better about booking the stay if the date has been confirmed considering we plan the date around you being there. I feel like this puts some pressure.
>> Yeah.
>> Wow.
>> Jennifer, I'm not sure it's worth it, [laughter] >> you know, to I I don't know how far you're you're coming from, but we're there. I don't have the dates in front of me. Maybe John Height knows.
>> Yes, I do. Friday, August 28th.
>> Yep.
>> 1 to 2 p.m. And Friday, September 4th, 1 to 2 p.m.
>> There you go, Jennifer. August 28 and >> September 4 >> at the KSTP television stage.
>> Their names are Joe and Jennifer.
>> Yeah. Weird.
>> Yep.
Uh, and you recall last week we had the great email from a a gal who was part of a family multi-generational business in St. Paul in the Midway area and she was uh ruminating on the paid family leave act and how it wasn't even close to the the leave act they provided for their own employees, but had to do it because they couldn't afford to do both. Right.
>> And she had an employee who needed the time off. Remember that one?
>> She writes again with an update.
Her name is MJ. Hail the flashlight king.
>> Hey you.
>> Just wanted to give you an update on the paid leave situation from the perspective of a business owner. Our employees claim was finally approved on January I'm sorry on July 21st. That's yesterday after being submitted on June 18th. He received approximately 60% of his wages for the approved leave period.
At no point was he told when the payment would actually arrive or whether it would come as a lump sum, even though the majority of his leave has already passed while he waited for the state's determination.
By comparison, the short-term disability plan we previously provided, and remember, they no longer do because they can't afford both, right? By comparison, the short-term disability plan we previously provided at no cost to our employees would have paid 100% of his wages for the first 20 working days, 80% for the next 5 days, and 75% for the following five days up to 30 working days. After that, he would have transitioned to our long-term disability policy.
It's unfortunate that our employees are now receiving significantly less under the state's mandated program and they're paying for it through a payroll tax.
Let's call it what it is. It's a tax, not an insurance premium. And then she sent me a screenshot of the uh document that showed he applied on the 16th of June and didn't get approved until yesterday.
>> Well, he's not going to get paid for a couple months. She concludes, "Just counting the days until I can move to a state that's run a little more competently than this one. Keep pushing back, MJ." Isn't that a shame?
>> They had a They had a better plan than the one that that that the Marxist drew up.
>> That is newsworthy. That should be glaring. MJ MJ, please get a hold of me.
K Olsen Osgellogic.com.
I I really want to talk to you.
And that that doves tales in perfectly into what I want to read from Scott from Inenver Grove.
>> He's making a long awaited return.
>> Scott from Inenver Grove. Never afraid.
Now he's pushing back. He had to take some mental time off because the state's been driving him nuts.
>> But he's back now.
>> We can do that.
>> Hail the flashlight king.
>> Hail you.
>> I found your highlighting of the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America highly entertaining, but also highly disturbing. I would love nothing more than to get in front of any or all of them and ask that simple question, where in the hell are you going to get the money? These people are beyond delusional. And the disturbing part comes from knowing that these types of people are starting to get elected into office, as we've seen in New York City.
Capitalism is the hallmark of a prosperous functioning society. In my opinion, what has caused all of the problems in this country can be tied to the plethora of social programs that have exploded over the past 20 years. As within the past six years and as a result of the co lockdowns, we now have an entire class of citizens who care not a damn thing about pulling their own weight and self-sufficiency, but rather doing nothing every day while getting the next handout from the government or as we all know, hardworking taxpayers.
As I have said before and I will continue to say, this country has not yet hit its bottom. When it does hit, all those democratic socialists are going to be in a world of hurt because the self-sufficient people will find a way to survive and they're not going to be helping these pompous fools who think that life is one big euphorian nirvana.
Never afraid and always pushing back.
Scott from Inenver Grove. Uh, I want to talk more about the DSA platform that was mentioned yesterday.
I've had very dark and heavy thoughts about it.
>> Uh, I don't think we're close to it yet. I I I think there's a long way to go before we're a fullfledged socialist country. We've taken steps towards it. We're electing people who wish to bring it about. But in the main, we're still a functioning free society.
We're we're not really forced into anything.
>> Why do you think this? Why are there hurdles?
>> What do you mean?
>> I mean, why do you What's going to stop them?
>> No, I'm I'm trying not to be full of hyperbole. I don't think we're a socialist country yet. I I think strides are being taken >> to head us in that direction, but we're not there. And and it may be that we won't get there if people wake up to what all of this democratic socialist platform really entails, really means.
For example, the housing part, housing for all.
Housing is a human right. Build new publiclyowned social housing. strictly regulate investment properties, establish universal rent control, and guarantee the right to council for all tenants.
Okay, let's let's just stop with that one.
Do you really understand what that means? Build new publiclyowned social housing. Well, presumably for where the citizenry is to live.
uh there the penalties it said right here strictly regulated investment properties. The penalties will put development out of business.
The penalty you you're not going to be a an investor who sees a uh some beautiful acreage in uh Chanhassen and said, "Boy, I can build some neat houses there."
that won't happen because you won't have the option to live in that kind of house for a variety of reasons. Well, A, it won't be built. B, you wouldn't have the money to buy it if it was where you will live. And again, I don't I'm not saying we're there. I'm saying this is if this comes about, this could be years down the road if this comes about. Where you will live is where you're told to live.
where you will live is in some 600 square foot box on a rail line. Well, think about it logically. What else could that possibly mean? Publiclyowned social housing.
It may be that you'll share your so-called house, which would be an apartment. You'll share it with someone else that you don't even know.
>> Roommates. Again, I'm I'm I'm trying not to be hyperbole. I'm saying this this would be if it de if if the DSA developed this country to the max the way they want to. You're living where you're told to live. [snorts] >> You're eating. You'll be eating what's available.
Gral. Now, for example, I've told you about these books many times. I'm going to tell you about them again.
A British author named Tom Rob Smith had a trio of novels about 10 to 12 years ago. The first one was called Child 44.
I read that one.
>> All right. The second one was called The Secret Speech.
The third one was called Agent Six.
They are and they're spellbinding page turner novels. Highly entertaining, but they are taking place in Russia in the from the late 40s up through the 70s.
And it is mindboggling to understand what that life was like.
Now, if the DSA wants to bring about their vision for America, then read these novels to see what America would be like. This is not exaggeration.
You don't you're you live where you're told to live.
You have no choice.
You eat what you what's available if food's available.
You don't own a car.
the only the elite get to shop at certain stores where there uh conveniently enough there are some products for their purchase that >> so what happens in Minnesota to the Dayton to the Ordways to the McMillan do they rem retain their wealth >> well if you want to go back to the formation of of Russia there would be a coup on the Zar and all his rich pals would be taken in read uh read a gentleman in Moscow by immortals.
You you would you would the the elite that wasn't controlling things would be eliminated. The only elite remaining would be the people in government. That would be the only elite.
>> That's irony.
>> Yeah. That they would be the elite.
>> Okay.
>> So again, we're a long way from that.
And I understand it sounds like helicopter talk, but it's not. If if if housing under the DSA plan is publiclyowned social housing with such strict regulation to virtually in put investment properties out of business and a universal rent control which inspires no one to to build apartments in order to make money. There's no money to be made.
You will be living where you are told to live. Now, someone someone tell me I'm wrong. So, I mean, isn't that the road?
That's ultimately where that would end.
>> Wouldn't that ultimately end in violence as it has over hundreds and hundreds of years where these programs have failed miserably?
You mean the push back in >> either either the violence from the push back or the violence from the government elite who would just eliminate the people who didn't go along with it.
Millions and millions and millions of people have paid the price of death for not buying into this BS. Mhm.
>> It to me this could only lead to violence.
>> If you're told uh you can no longer live in your house, you're assigned to building 32B uh number 117 and then you go there and it's a 600 square foot box and maybe it'll have running water in a functioning uh bathroom.
>> Well, you wouldn't go for that.
New Yorkers out west, they wouldn't I mean the Montana people, the Cowboys.
>> But let me ask you something. Where am I? This is garage logic. Where am I supposed to logically take the endg game of the DSA?
If not in the direction I'm taking it, where am I supposed to logically take it? Because their delusional wish for heaven on earth cannot exist. is it it's been proven. We have the evidence that it can't. So, where am I logically to take this DSA platform that was created just two months ago between April and June? Where am I supposed to logically take the endgame? Staff, anyone? Anyone?
>> Well, it doesn't seem to me like they're trying to disguise what you're saying. I mean, you're just giving us the open your open interpretation of what they're already saying. Uh they're not trying to hide hide this. They talk about chain migration with people moving up. Uh you know how you start out with a starter house and then you have a kid or two and you that would end.
>> Yeah. That's what they want to end. They want to end chain migration.
>> Well, how about crime? Uh, in child 44, Tom Rob Smith's first book, the plot is a is a Russian policeman who who has a shred of his soul has not yet been destroyed by the oppressive mandates of of the government. and he comes upon what he believes to be a child serial killer.
And he has fought in every turn he takes, he has fought against to bring this killer to justice.
And the reason is because the official dictim from the ruling elite is crime does not exist.
crime. Well, you now have the DSA calling for the elimination of incarceration and no police.
Can I logically conclude?
>> Can I logically conclude that they envision a time when they would acknowledge that where where they would not acknowledge that crime exists?
Is that a fair conclusion on my part?
>> Yes.
>> It wouldn't exist. or as Wall said when this fellow he just pardoned for the rape of a uh an underageed child >> remember >> why should we judge him on his best day that's what Wall said >> on his worst day >> on his I'm sorry why why should we judge him on his worst day >> and he's reformed he's all better >> yeah so we're seeing it happening in front of us but it's just happening in bits and pieces and a little chunk over here and another vignette over there and the election of this crackpot right here. Isn't that funny that we elected that person and it's [laughter] just it's just happening very slowly and I predict now I have a good thing to say too. I predict it will not succeed if people truly awaken to what all this means.
>> It will not succeed.
>> Yeah. Eventually people are going to figure it out. Will it be too late though? I I have my own phrase for this.
I call it the crossword effect.
>> Yeah. When you do a cross word and it's really really tough, you end up doing a little bit here, little bit over there, little bit in the middle, little bit down, and eventually the whole crossword fills in and voila, you have socialism.
>> And I just [laughter] I just wonder >> that 22 down.
>> Yeah. socialism. Matthew, >> I I just have to believe that uh I just have to believe that if if the average American really thought about this and they came upon that the free housing part of the uh platform, publicly built social housing would logically lead you to understand that at some point you'll be told where to live.
You're in building 32B, apartment 17.
Oh, thank you, dear leader. Thank you.
>> That a four bedroomedroom and a three bath or >> In the meantime, the Democratic Socialists have moved into all the mansions on Lake of the Isles.
[laughter] >> Yeah.
>> Having kicked the owners out.
>> Yeah.
But meanwhile, they acknowledge the fact that the what do they call them?
Corporate Democrats and the far right.
that those are the two political parties right now. According to the socialists, >> by the way, this >> it just their plan won't happen with corporate democrats in charge. No.
While we still have a country, you can celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

>> Hail the flashlight king.
>> Hail you.
>> And 82. [music] I was 17. My old [singing] man was 55.
If you do the math between the two of us, that's an eternity. So it seemed to me, how could [singing and music] anything live that long?
For a little while, it seems you got to choose your dreams.
Pretty soon you look around [singing] and you see >> 100 years ain't what it used to be.
And my grandpa Roy4 [singing] and only eight decades passed and my high school Put the castles on the other side.
Started on our way full of naivity on the great American.
[singing and music] [music] [music] >> Joe is ruminating the fact that uh he all he does is water. And I had to admit to him, [music] uh, now that I have to mow about 5 acres every week, I I like the drought. Uh, even so, one of my sprinkler heads rusted shut and [laughter] it just wouldn't it wouldn't do the thing, you know, and then when it goes back, it goes, [snorts] it wouldn't do that. It just wouldn't move. So, I soaked her in seafoam deep creep. I actually did it overnight. I had a little jug of it, soaked it in that. The next day it was working perfectly. Seafoam deep creep to the rescue again. So now my uh my orchard and my garden are being watered.
Thanks Seafoam. Oh, and uh another update. My side by side had been acting funky. Well, I solved that with a healthy dose of Seafoam motor treatment.
Filled up the tank. Uh dumped in way too much. Perfect. And uh that issue has been solved. And of course, Bugs Begone is always working. It's voodoo on my three trucks uh that I have keeping the windshields and grill clean of bugs. The last time I did it, it was actually sitting in the driveway. I wasn't even at the gas station. I just sprayed it down. I let it set and got out the hose and sprayed it off and bing bang boom, she's done. The big three. It's what we all need from Sea Foam. The deep creep, the motor treatment, and seafoam bugs be gone. Wonderful products in a world of sin and suffering.
Gers, get a pencil and paper. Oh, >> and write these. No, I'm going to give them the books again. Write these down.
Even if you're a euphorian who live in liberal who lives in liberal lakes and you love socialism and you're a reader, well, then you'll still love these novels. The author's name is Tom Rob O Smith. Tom Rob Smith. He's a British author. And I'm so disappointed that he hasn't done anything since a standalone novel called The Farm, which I also read.
>> It's uh he's working in TV.
>> Yeah, he does a lot of TV work.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh The Farm was his last book that was published in 2014. You want to read his three books set in Mother Russia and you'll you'll thank me.
Child 44.
That's a novel about the investigation of child murders during the so in the Soviet Union. But the policeman is thwarted at every attempt.
>> Yeah.
>> Because we don't have crime.
The second book is the secret speech.
Uh, as I recall, that was a speech by Kruef, who was the mayor of Moscow at the time, which is true.
And there's a there's a slight just a slight crack in the hold that socialism has on the country. Just a slight crack.
Agent six, I believe, reprises the cop in child 44 >> who's now fighting for Russia in Afghanistan.
>> You'll you'll these are so well written and so wonderfully done that again, just as novels, they're wonderful. Child 44, read them in order. Child 44, the secret speech and Agent Six.
>> Child 44 I could not put down.
>> Yeah, >> it was really >> And for you to say that seriously is saying something because you're not a reader.
>> And I I I I want to read the other books. I just haven't yet.
>> Well, you you you should. It's it's just uh amazing. Uh they're just they're just amazing.
So, and they'll help us understand this.
Now, the democratic socialist platform end mass incarceration and police immunity. Demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, redirect funding to public services as step towards fully abolishing police and prisons because they maintain that only protects the rich and jails the poor. Remember the underlying ideology they're trying to sell is that if you're not rich, you're a victim. They don't define what rich is. They have no idea.
>> But if you if you def if you if you're not wealthy or living in the mansion that your your neighbors living in, then you are a victim and we're here to straighten that out. That's their ideology.
>> But they still don't want you to be a millionaire. They they hate the millionaires, >> right?
>> So either way, you're screwed.
>> So take this this abolish the police and prison system, which protects the rich and jails the poor. Treat drug addiction and mental illness as health issues, not crimes, and qualified immunity and empower civilian oversight bodies with real authority over the police. Okay, where do I logically take this to its conclusion if I look far down the road? Well, the logical endgame of that is the denial of crime.
Crime doesn't exist. And they say right here, put together uh civilian oversight bodies that control things. Well, what they would be what they would be controlling is the is the they would disabuse the public of the idea of crime. There is no crime.
>> Is this the first step?
>> What is the first step?
>> Uh deny crime exists.
>> Well, that's no that's the logical endgame would be the first step would be, you know, like these screw balls of Minneapolis have tried to do, which is defund the police. They have failed so far. All of the police are short on manpower and women power.
But e every one of these I'm trying to think, okay, what's the endgame? Well, the endgame has to be there's no crime then. You don't have prisons. You don't have cops.
>> There's no crime. That's child 44 where it really happened.
Feminism for all.
Socialist feminism fights for queer liberation and the freedoms of all workingclass women.
Stop gender violence. Well, there won't be such a thing because there's no crime. They're contradicting themselves.
[snorts] And end policies that oppress bodily autonomy and intimate life.
What? including patriarchal restrictions on abortion, child birth, and child raising, gender expression, and transition, marriage, and divorce. Ban sex discrimination, and ensure fair compensation and support for all forms of labor, including care work. Well, that that's probably a common theme that runs through the platform that everyone will basically make the same amount of money, if if in fact it's even called money. Maybe it'll be called script. But whatever it is, the logical conclusion of it is is because no one has any money to speak of and there is no incentive to build, flourish, accomplish, and achieve. Then it would break down to you'll be in a bread line, wouldn't it? Doesn't that logically follow?
>> If we're getting paid, wouldn't we have a job to go to?
>> Somebody's got to make the brooms.
>> Yeah, but you wouldn't like it.
>> [snorts] >> Then you have bread lines and maybe some porridge.
>> I [snorts] prefer grl.
>> Grl.
>> Grl sounds better.
>> Green New Deal. This this just just guarantees uh the elimination of fossil fuels. That's it's I'm not exaggerating.
That's what they want. They want no use of fossil fuels.
Winter and summer could be a little strange.
>> Yeah, I see [clears throat] a lot of gray.
>> They also uh it's not enough for them to have ch to wish to change the United States. They would they also have a foreign policy.
End all wars and close all overseas military bases. All right.
What's the logical conclusion to that?
>> Countries that are not going to buy this BS will just take you over.
>> Yeah. China.
>> Yeah.
>> Learn learn Chinese.
>> Well, they are socialists, but they've they're they've practiced it for a while.
>> Learn Russian.
>> Yeah.
>> And then we got the and the blockades and the embargos. I don't know why we don't need any oil. Who cares? We're not going to have any TW 79 in TVs to buy.
So, who cares if there's an embargo on a canal somewhere?
>> The US The USA will be the biggest pushovers in the world.
>> Yeah, it'll be very crowded.
I'm just looking through it again trying to find >> out of I logical conclusions.
>> I have a couple of questions.
>> Yeah. Out of all of these policies, which one, if you had to single one out, do you feel is the worst and would do the most damage?
It's hard, isn't it?
It might be the last one you read or it might in my mind it might be the crime or it might be the housing. I I think I I put housing lower on the list. The crime to me that would result in the Wild Wild West. Uh you stepped on my toe. I just blew your head off with a shotgun.
>> You won't have a shotgun.
>> Everything is good.
>> No, you won't have a shot.
>> I'll kill I'll kill My point is I'll kill you.
>> Well, and I would >> you'll step on my toe. I will kill you.
No consequences.
>> That won't happen. If you if you promise people enough, they'll follow along. if they haven't figured it out.
>> I don't understand what you just said.
>> The the the most dangerous part of this thinking to me is the ideology they're trying to sell.
That you are an oppressed person. If you have to actually go to work, you are an oppressed person. You should be you should be you should have as much as anyone else has. Well, put put the put that spin on crime for me.
>> There won't be any crime.
>> And if you shoot your neighbor's head off, that will be denied.
>> Okay.
>> You didn't you didn't do that.
>> That's what I wanted you to say. I was setting you up because now I'm going to tell you that policy is already in effect. How many people in the Twin Cities do not call 911 when a crime happens? Therefore, that crime goes unreported. Therefore, that crime didn't happen. Boom. I just blew your mind.
>> I I Well, you haven't because I [laughter] uh I know, but >> because uh because I don't think that's common place.
>> Oh, I do.
>> Well, for example, if you shot an intruder in your house, what are you going to do with the body?
>> Somebody broke the wind. I'm talking about misdemeanor stuff. I'm not talking >> Well, I don't think we should be taking anyone's life for misdemeanor stuff.
You're completely missing my point.
>> Okay, then my point is that crime point crime is going unreported right now.
Therefore, that the numbers have gone down. Crime has gone down. Violent crime has gone down. I just got beat up and my wallet got sold. I'm not going to call 911. Therefore, that crime in their eyes, >> okay, >> doesn't exist. That's my point.
>> But I still think we live in a country where most people are calling 911.
We haven't ideologically reached the point where crime doesn't exist. We might have conveniently reached the point based on a personal situation where it's not worth your time to worry about whether a crime was committed. But we haven't reached the ideological true socialist Marxist point of we don't acknowledge crime. We haven't reached that point.
But we're we we have elected people who want us to get to that point and so far we haven't. We resist. I told you at the outset and I'll repeat it because I don't want to be accused of hyperbole. We're nowhere near we're nowhere near this ideology taking over.
We're not near it yet, but we're we're seeing so much of it in bits and pieces that it's worth alarming yourself about.
The top left portion of my crossword puzzle has been completed.
>> Yeah, >> the it's filling in. It's happening.
>> It's filling in.
>> And it's filling in without them running things.
>> Well, they run Well, wait a minute. Let me take that back. Because they do run Minneapolis, [snorts] do they [clears throat] not with the city council?
>> Yes. And I do think that unlike historical evidence of what's happened to other countries that have fallen for this, most most specifically the Soviet Union.
I think if it got to the point where this was about to become the the the DSA platform was about to become the law of the land and I I hate to be this dark about it. I would see a great war breaking out in this country. I would see I would see rural America fighting the the people the closer you get to the tallest buildings. I I would think there would be a great divide and because I I can't imagine anyone is going to accept this that's that's not already living in a cardboard box on a light rail line.
>> What about um um people? What about population?
>> Well, where the DSA is making its inroads is with the population centers.
>> But I mean future.
>> Well, that's why I just predicted a war.
I predict that if this if this ever came to fruition where the DSA is making such strong headway, it's about to control everything. I think that would result in a war in this country.
I think that would result in in Art taking his shotgun down to the town square and defending the town.
>> I guess it would do.
>> Yeah. I just don't see it I just don't see this working for 50% of the country.
>> I I'm being an optimist. I agree with you, Joe.
>> Although you might think that's pessimistic to a war breaking out, but I think anybody who believes in American ideals, >> and there are, you know, plenty of liberals, plenty of conservatives, plenty middle of the roaders that do, I don't think they would ever allow this to happen without some sort of fight, whether ideological or, as you said, physical. Well, the ideological fight should be easy to win because ide ideologically it's very easy to prove how wrong all of this is >> because we've got pages and pages and pages of hundreds of years of history that show this has been tried Robin Wley and the rest of you the chugger and it's all been tried. I I know you think it's a new thought but it's been tried before and it hasn't worked and it's result it's resulted in billions and millions of deaths. It doesn't work >> and it won't work. It can't work because it's it violates the human spirit that you're born with.
>> It violates it.
>> Their answer is always it'll be different this time.
>> Yeah. We can do it better than it's been done before. No. No. I look at the Minneapolis City Council and I don't see a group of people who can solve anything, much less how I should live.
>> What do you say to the people that call you just another McCarthy? This is McCarthyism. Well, that's why I've said 15 times today, uh, we're not there yet.
I'm not suggesting this is happening.
It's happening in bits and pieces. The puzzle hasn't been put together yet.
They are trying to put it together.
>> But I think this, you said 50%, I think it's more like 75, 80, even 90%.
>> Well, I hope you're right. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. I I I I think, Joe, that we're giving this a lot of thought when a lot of people are just going, "Oh, please give me a break. Shut up. Next.
>> Yes.

A convicted fraudster sentenced to 10 years for juror bribery today on top of the 28 years he's already serving for his role in the feeding our future case. You'll remember all of this of course once we talk about it. Abdi Aziz is Shafi Farra and four others are accused of delivering a bag with $120,000 in cash to a juror's home while the trial was ongoing. The [laughter] jur juror was promised more money would come if she helped bring a not-uilty verdict.
Farah pleaded guilty to bribery of the juror in June of 2025. Farah Abdi Majid Muhammad Nur say Shafi Farah Abdul Karim Shafi Farah and Leaden Muhammad Ali were all charged with conspiracy to bribe a juror, bribery of a juror, and corruptly influencing a juror. Juror 52 was dismissed in the sixth week of the first Feeding Our Future trial after she said a woman showed up at her front door with a bag with the 120 grand in cash and offered her more money. Then US attorney for Minnesota Andrew Luger said the group targeted juror 52 because she was the youngest and the only juror of color. They surveiled her to confirm her home address, researched info on her background and family. Ali even followed her home one day and bought a tracking device to put on her car. According to prosecutors, her rental car was documented being near jurors 52's home 19 different times. Abdas Farah told Ner to meet him at Bushra wholesalers to pick up bribe money. Prosecutors said Ali put the money in a Hallmark gift bag to be delivered.
>> Oh, it was a gift, wasn't it?
>> It was Yeah, it was a gift of $120,000 in cash. Uh around 8:50 in the evening that night, Ali and Abdul Karim Pharaoh went to juror 52 to his house, gave the bag to a relative of the juror and explained the money was a gift in exchanged for a not-uilty verdict. All he said there would be more. Juror 52 was instructed to find the defendants not guilty on all counts and was given arguments to convince other jurors, including alleging the prosecution was motivated by racism. A woman called >> Of course it was, John. The woman called authorities when she found out about the bribery attempt. After learning about the attempt, the judge ordered the defendants to surrender phones to law enforcement, leading Abi Aziz Farah, Nure, and Sed Farah to delete evidence from their phones. So, you guys know my history when it comes to found money.
>> Yeah, you tend to keep it.
>> Did you guys see any of the photos on the news of the bag of money? I did not.
>> No, I missed it.
>> When you see $100 bills, >> Yeah.
>> thicker than your fist, bound together with rubber bands, >> a good sight, >> piled up in not just a grocery bag, but one of those shopping bags with a handle.
>> That's what the elite would take to their special department store.
>> How do you [laughter] How do you How do you say no to that?
>> Well, Kenny, >> here's my plan.
>> I I wouldn't find it that difficult.
>> Here's my plan. Yeah, >> I take the money. I say, "Okay, I'll do it." And then I I don't do it. I don't follow through.
>> And then Dutch visits you with a 45 automatic.
>> I have I have numerous firearms and a backhoe.
>> Oh, that's true.
>> But but you can't have them on you all the time, Kenny. Somebody might sneak up on you.
>> I know. That's just the great the are they known for killing people, for retaliating? And every time you need gas, Kenny, you could go out and dig up the stash, take a $100 bill, cover it back up again, go to the gas station.
[laughter] >> Listen, listen. When I say I have firearms in a backhoe, I'm not burying money.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Boy, I'm not going near that place.
>> Okay. Okay. I got you. [laughter] >> I didn't think I had to spell it out to you.
>> I'm not going to I'm not going to stumble on his property.
>> You are of pure mind, sir. Maybe as not being a pure mind, maybe you could just blame your relative and say, "Oh, they never told me about it." CNN, >> yeah, >> go after the relative instead of you.
>> Yeah. Plead your case to Ali Moose and Roco Muhammad.
>> So, [laughter] I'm going to go with in-laws. Set up one of my in-laws.
>> Or just tell them they're racist against Scandinavian heritage.
>> Scandinavian. [laughter] And my mom would remind Irish, too. You know, >> right?
>> Less than 24 hours after that triple homicide in St. Hall. Prosecutors have charged the tenant with murder. Deputies arrested 30-year-old Sego Bonisu in the Iron Range Monday night, formerly charged yesterday with the murders of 25-year-old Nancy Zambrano, 56-year-old Dena Silox, and 43-year-old Adam Wilwarding. The St. Paul police found those three dead from multiple gunshot wounds around 4:10 in the afternoon Monday. Authorities say several people called 911 after hearing screams and gunshots at an apartment complex near the intersection of St. Paul Avenue and West 7th. Charging documents say Bonisu's roommate since 2018 had called police and said Bonizu told him he went to the leasing office, argued with management, and ended up killing three people. He then told his roommate he was walking to a police station. The roommate noted that Benise, who quit his job as a trucker two months ago, planned on enlisting in the Navy. Because of that, he was going to sell his car in Maplewood and cancel his $65 a month parking garage contract at the apartment. Apartment staff later told police Benu had called earlier to cancel that contract, but they told him he couldn't get out of paying for it after he recently renewed it. Bonu replied he was going to come to the office to talk about it. Surveillance video from the apartment office shows Silox and Wilwarding talking to Bisu when the tenant suddenly lifts his shirt, pulls out a gun, points it at them. He then allegedly shot Wilburing six times and Silox six times.
>> Before the camera feed ended, Bonisu walked down a hallway out of view of the camera. A scream was heard followed by four more gunshots. Total of 21 spent casings were recovered in the office.
Bonisu was arrested about uh 3 hours away from the scene of the crime driving Zambrano's car.
>> In all seriousness, this would not happen if the DSA wins.
>> Uh he wouldn't have a car.
>> There would be no parking spot. He would not have a gun. I'm being serious. It it wouldn't happen. He did sell the car the day before and so he really had a bug up his crown about this uh parking spot.
>> 65 bucks.
>> According to the report in the Pioneer Press, he was really spiraling out of control.
>> Yeah.
>> He uh things weren't working out for him.
>> How [clears throat] did what transportation did he use to get up north?
>> He stole one of the victim's cars.
>> Sombrano's It was Sombrano's car. The woman first or the last woman, I'm sorry, that he shot. Yeah.
Several hundred people, mostly from the Somali community, met with Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher yesterday. [sighs] Talk about gang violence concerns.
>> [ __ ] and moan.
>> The sheriff has been addressing gang violence on his live on patrol videos on social media. In a video, he said, "We've got a huge list of criminal activity, but having said that, we're not indicting the whole community." The sheriff asked for no cameras inside so that parents could speak uh speak freely at the meeting. Uh Fletcher noted that 300 gang members are just a very small part of the 800,000 Somali population in Minnesota. He explained his number one reason to hold the meeting was to meet with parents in the Somali community and share ideas on how to confront the gang problem. He says the fastest growing group of gang members are in the Somali community. Typically 15% of the gang are hardcore. 85% are just kids that need something to do to hang out, have some ownership or possession, or a social group to hang out with. Some at the meeting expressed hope that law enforcement and Somali leaders could work together to confront the gang issue. The imam at Alhikma Islamic Center, Hassan Jama, said, "Hopefully altogether we can serve the state, the security and betterment of this thing."
That being said, he said, he repeated, "I'm very upset and devastated. There's never a time to have a hard conversation according to Fletcher and that's the problem. But the longer we go not to have this conversation, the more people are going to die.
>> I think Fletcher showed amazing patience.
>> Yes.
>> He's attacked every time he opens his mouth about this and he's been very cool about it.
>> Right. It's not the entire Somali.
>> He said that a million times.
>> I have to use the word community.
>> Yeah. It's it's once again that community is fractured by tribalism >> and I I think that's one of the issues he's having. He's a friend of Garage Logic, but he has stated clearly that he is not interested in doing any interviews regarding this. Uh and I'm happy to announce that [laughter] we we're going to have Sheriff Fletcher on this afternoon on News from the Krabby Coffee Shop. Another Krabby Coffee Shop exclusive. Mhm.
>> Look for that to be released later this afternoon.
>> Oh, it's been a bet on that.
>> It's been embargoed until the afternoon.
>> I mean, a lot of this equipment doesn't work. [laughter] >> Oh, wow.
>> Break my heart.
>> Results of uh >> And you know, there's been other times when we've had a guest scheduled and I've said, "Hey, listen up. He's going to be on this afternoon." And then that guest cancels.
>> That's right.
>> I think uh Sheriff Fletcher will be joining us. Pretty sure. I think you'd learned your lesson, Kenny. [laughter] >> Yeah, I know. Karma, right?
>> Results of a new KSTP Survey USA poll show Mike Lindell and Michelle Tafoya gaining in their Republican primary races for Minnesota governor and US Senate. Well, the DFL Senate primary race between Angie Craig and Peggy Flanigan is neck andneck. Uh with the CEO of My Pillow, Mike Lindell, continuing to lead the field. Now, with President Trump's endorsement, Lindell gained eight more points from last month's poll. He now sits at 35% support overall. House Speaker Lisa Damoth gained 4% points uh four percentage points also, but trails Lindell still by nine points. The GOP endorsed Kendall Qualss fell to a distant third at 11%.
Former sports caster Too continues to run away with the Republican primary for Senate. She gained five points from last month's poll. The only candidate to gain over that period, now sits at 41%. Royce White dropped five points to 10% overall and the GOP endorsed candidate Adam Schwarz is down to 5% although 28% still say they're undecided. The lead held by four-term Congresswoman Angie Craig over Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanigan has evaporated in the DFL primary for the US Senate. They're now neck andneck. The DFL endorsed Flanigan gained four points from last month while Craig dropped one putting them even at 40% of the vote.
16% still say they're undecided there.
And looking ahead to the general election o in November, the poll says DFL candidate Keith Ellison still leads GOP endorsed Ron Shoots, but his lead is shrinking and many voters are still undecided. Ellison dropped two points while shoots gained that same amount.
The margin now Ellison at 42 and Ches at 38. How could Damuth, a seasoned veteran who knows how the legislature works and what she has to do to straighten it out, be trailing in the polls to a crackpot pillow maker?
>> I don't know.
>> It's just it's just the state is this state is upside down in everywhere you look.
>> I'm having a hard time believing those poll numbers. They're so stunning to me.
>> God, it's amazing. And um were they all metro?
>> No.
>> Do we know?
>> We don't know. Okay. Do they realize how they're hurting the Republican chance? I mean, it's already an uphill battle to get to get um Kendall or Lisa in, >> right?
>> The uh if if you go to social media, you'll see he has a lot of backing in comments. Lindel does uh with no explanation except, you know, there'll be some say who? They're from very uninformed people then.
>> Yeah. It's, you know, >> yeah, it's an emotional un uninformed opinion. A great piece today in Powerline blog. You know, there's a few sources that we go to every day here at GL American Experiment Alpha and Powerline Blog. And uh Scott Johnson wrote a really good piece about uh this endorsement of President Trump and uh Lindell. And basically he says right in print, Lindell is a joke. He really is.
All he's doing is hurting our chances.
>> Yep. He's a joke.
>> I mean, Amy's going to win anyway, but if he's the option, >> Amy shouldn't win. She's just part of the same machinery.
>> I absolutely agree with you, but I I know what we're up against.
>> How we doing, Rook?
>> I haven't done anything in two days >> on Amy.
>> On on Amy?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.

In national and international headlines, Defense Secretary Pete Hegth and General Dan Kaine testified before a key Senate committee yesterday, advocating for the Trump administration's request of 1.5 trillion, including 67.1 billion in [sighs] immediate funding to help cover the costs of the Iran war. Hegs estimated the war at this point has cost about 37.5 billion. The request covers weapons, classified programs, fuel, ops, uh, cyber security, and drones. A shortfall has already reportedly forced the Pentagon to limit training and maintenance efforts. Parts of the Navy and Air Force budgets are expected to run out of funds by August. The House plans to vote later this week to authorize 73 billion in defense spending before breaking for a week-long recess.
Democratic opposition may block the bill's advance. His testimony comes as the president will soon strike Iran's pickaxe mountain, he says, where he suggested Iran may have moved its nuclear materials.
>> Any hair care products in the budget at all forth? [laughter] No.
>> President Trump is attending a dignified transfer ceremony today honoring the US service members killed during the war in Iran. Pentagon has identified at least four soldiers who died this month after the US military renewed attacks on Thran as the temporary ceasefire fell apart.
Meanwhile, a post where the president compared US troop deaths across multiple wars sparked a backlash yesterday. The president took to Truth Social to compare the length of several US military conflicts and the number of Americans killed. God, >> don't play that game. It sparked a negative reaction across the political spectrum with representatives including representative Shri Thanadar who called it absolutely despicable. Senator Chris Van Holland calling it sickening and it was condemned by Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who wrote on X bragging about quote only 18 brave US service members being killed is reckless and illegal started and is beneath contempt and a new low even for the likes of Donald Trump. Former Trump ally Marjgerie Taylor Green echoed Schumer's sentence by also referring to his uh post as bragging, saying, "That's how I read the stupid post. The peace president went to war and is killing and wounding our troops." Taylor Green finished her message with GFY, an acronym for uh well, you you figure it out.
>> A direction and and an event to do to yourself.
>> GoFundMe. Goofund me.
>> GoFund you.
>> Goofund you. Nearly one in four American workers are staying in jobs they would like to leave because uh they are staying because they're worried about losing health insurance. That according to a new Gallup poll. The poll found that 24% of employees with employer sponsored insurance equivalent to about 23 million adults report feeling trapped in their jobs because of concerns about their health coverage. Ela May is direct research director at Gallup told Newsweek the findings parallel other research on the growing healthc care affordability gap where Americans are reporting having to postpone milestones in their lives due to health expenses.
Mi also pointed to other recent Gallup polls that have found that about seven and 10 Americans think it's a bad time to find a job in the US. Millions of Americans face rising health care costs and growing uncertainty about covering health insurance, which is driving a lot of them, she said, to forego health insurance entirely.
A Will Chamberlain warm-up jacket originally found in a Portland, Oregon Goodwill store, sold for $89,600 Monday at Sabes. In January, 19-year-old Quinn Brown raided a bargain bin looking for a jacket he'd seen someone toss in.
That seemed like it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers colors. Brown had been buying vintage clothes to resell online for 3 years. The warm-up jacket says Chamberlain on the back. It cost him $3.7.
>> Wow.
>> When he got home, Brown searched the internet for a comparable sale and found little. But he told a local news outlet he had seen a Wilt Chamberlain warm-up go for five figures a decade prior.
After Brown posted a photo of the jacket, Sabe's head of modern collectibles, Bram Wter got in touch and convinced Brown to consign the jacket to Sabes. Sabes then enlisted SIA photo match to verify and photo match the jacket. Photo match Chamberlain items echoed by the lot description uh description, excuse me, on SH's website are becoming exceedingly rare. The jacket turned out not only to be legitimate, but a significant piece of Chamberlain and Lakers history. It was likely used throughout the 7172 NBA season and was matched definitively to the 1972 NBA Finals. Chamberlain's second title and the Lakers first championship in Los Angeles. Chamberlain also won Finals MVP, his first as the award wasn't introduced until 1969.
The jacket was also matched to the season after his last in which he set a single season record for field goal percentage that wasn't broken until the 2019 2020 season.
>> Do we have a number um during the time that he had this in his possession where he could uh he could claim um some type of a companionship number like 28 or 260?
>> It had nothing to do with the jacket.
>> Okay. I'd love stories like that though.
>> Gabe, why haven't you found anything when you're looking through stuff?
>> I was about to ask Gabe, if Gabe, if you that happened to you and you are now $89,000 to the good, [laughter] how would you spend that? What would you do with that?
>> Uh, honestly, I don't know. I think somebody else could probably grow it better than I could.
>> That is the voice of someone who doesn't have any overhead.
>> Yeah. because that would I [laughter] would pay so many I would either go crazy uh you know go on a binge or most likely I would just pay bills off. I just start paying stuff off.
>> I I told you before I have this ceramic frog that that where you put a hose in the bottom.
>> Yeah. Three bucks.
>> Comes out mouth.
>> Three bucks.

>> Well, I know for a fact it's at least 75 years old.
>> And you'd be one of those people on Antiques Road Show that goes in there.
Oh, I would. And and is arrogantly talking about how much money it's going to be in there. It's 3750, you know, 3,000. I'm sure I'd be disappointed, but I think it's worth something.
>> They'll tell you it's a very clever fake, sir.
>> Yeah. I mean, there was there was a real frog gardening tool. This isn't one of them.
>> This is a replica. I think >> I think Kenny, uh, your question for Gabe, I'd justify spending some of it on myself because I'd pay a few bills off, but then I'd say, "Hey, I paid some bills off. I can spend the rest of I know I know you well enough to know that you need a few more guitars.
[laughter] running out of room. You know what I mean? Yeah. Uh, and in New Jersey, an Essex County man was arrested after stealing a $500,000 armored police vehicle and taking it on a joy ride.
>> Hard to hide those in the 48 hour.
>> It is. And I do have a question about this, by the way. Uh, July 14th, it happened at 4 in the morning. a Bearcat or ballistic engineered armored response counterattack truck taken from the New Jersey Transit Police Emergency Services Unit headquarters. According to authorities, a thief caused about $13,000 in damage to other property. A Bearcat is a heavily armored tactical vehicle primarily used by SWAT, police, and military for hostage situ situations, active shooters, and other tactical ops. The truck was eventually found abandoned in Irvington about a 20-minute drive from where it was stolen. Christopher A. Burton Frasier was arrested. He was behind the wheel of the heavily armored truck when it was found. He was arrested after the theft.
Faces multiple charges including theft and burglary. The incident is still under investigation by New Jersey Transit police. And my question is, it's not addressed. And I looked at a couple stories. How did he start it? Well, my guess would be that the key was in it.
It was probably kept in a a locked uh lot and he just mowed down the gate when he left. Part of $13,000 in damages.
>> Yeah. It's >> But if you don't have anybody with you, is it really a joy ride? Don't you want to have somebody riding shotgun or call your buddies and say, "Hey, I'm in a Bearcat right now."
>> He had fun.
[laughter] >> Yeah. What is the definition of a joy ride? I've never given that any thought, Matthew. You want to share it with someone, right? Call your Hey, Frank.
Yeah, I'm on university right now.
>> Otherwise, it's just you being a dumbass, >> right? And you're going to get caught.
So, this it's stupid.
>> Yeah.
>> And uh we found a plane. Did you guys see this story? This kind of kind of interesting. The wreckage of Panam's Clipper Endeavor found off Puerto Rico 74 years after the flight crashed into the Atlantic. The Douglas DC4, about the size of a Boeing 737, took off from San Juan April 11th, 1952, headed for New York. But right after departure, the plane suffered engine failure and ditched at sea. 52 of the 69 people aboard died, while 17 survived, two of whom are still living today. The accident prompted sweeping aviation safety changes, including the now standard pre-flight safety briefing because a lot of passengers on this plane refused the pilot's orders to evacuate after it hit the water and remain strapped into their seats.
>> Oh, and underwater.
>> Yeah, why would you do that?
>> I'll be fine. I'm just going to sit right here. Okay. Underwater search team located the plane 2,000 ft below the surface, identifying it by the still visible Panama logo and the aircraft's name painted on the largely intact wreckage.
>> There were no survivors.
>> There's 17.
>> There were 17.
>> Two of them still alive.
>> Um, so are the remains still in the plane?
>> And we can't disturb that, can we? Can we?
>> Wouldn't they be uh disintegrated?
>> I think they'd be pretty gone by now.
Yeah. All right, >> John. Thank you.
>> You're welcome.
>> Thank you. We'll take a time out.
>> It's a weird end.
>> It really was.
>> Yeah, it really [music] was.
82. I was 17. My [singing] old man was 55.
If you do the [singing] 72 years [music] to me, how could anything live that long?
[singing] For a little while, it seems you got to choose your dreams.
Pretty soon you look around and you see years ain't what it used to be.
>> And my grandpa Roy when he was a boy in 194 [singing] get hurt.
>> But why are the cops protecting [music] her?
No, you cannot stop him. You just make a move. Now, >> you know, the Star Tribune has done a very [music] good story and a very important story. It's It's 10 to 20 years too late, but I'm glad they did it. It's a very long piece on mounting concern over lack of financial oversight at Minneapolis public schools. And basically, it's a story of horrendous budgeting. And I I have repeatedly wondered why the public has to just keep putting up with this. They they they're incompetent. They don't budget correctly. And then I think it's just part of the game plan. Then they come out every year with their hand out >> and say, "We need more money because we we didn't we didn't budget correctly."
They're now working with a consultant, the public schools, to get back in order, and they uh they have passed transactions involving millions of dollars that have evaded scrutiny. A newly unredacted version of an investigative report first made public in April revealed that former controller Aaron Gilbert began holding back funds intended to be transferred to a health insurance trust account without first receiving written approval. It did not appear she had any meaningful oversight when she took these actions. She Aeron's a she. A r o n that's a she. Whatever.
>> But that's a guy. Uh the states it's the third largest district in the state. I thought it was the largest. What's the first in Noah?
>> Yeah, I think. Yep.
>> What's the second?
>> Uh >> is it Minnitonka?
>> I don't know.
>> Or Plymouth?
>> I don't know.
>> The state's third largest district is facing mounting concerns. Well, they've been concerned for a long time over poor financial oversight amid a series of multi-million dollar deficits and revelations of years of budgeting errors. Why do we have to put up with this?
Public entities can't budget and they suffer no consequences for their failure to budget properly.
Can't you go and find a good accountant and hire him and say, "We're going to stick to the budget."
Release of new investigative details, first reported by the Minnesota Reformer, came after the IRS levied more than $5 million in penalties against the district. A consultant described the finance division as being at a crisis point and an auditor pointed to a lack of controls over dispersement of district funds. And it goes on and on like this, but it's it's a story we've had to put up with. Uh I'm sure it's common in other states, but we we've put up with it for years that every year we're said, "Oh, we're we just didn't make our budget." Well, make your damn budget.
>> Why is this a problem all the time?
>> And is just a slice under 40,000 at number one. St. Paul 32,000. Minneapolis 29. AIO 21,000.
>> St. Paul district is bigger than Minneapolis.
>> St. Paul has 32,000 students with 68 schools.
>> Wow.
Uh well, again, this is a very long story. I'm glad they did it. It's an important story. Uh but nothing what comes of this. Is anyone going to be reprimanded? Is anyone going to suffer consequences? This goes back forever.
The public schools can't budget. So, it's not fraud, which is why they're not being investigated, but they are just saying this is entitlement.
>> Cities can't budget.
>> What?
>> Both St. Paul and Minneapolis can't budget.
>> I see. Yes.
>> Schools can't budget.
>> What?
>> It would be nice to go to the boss here and say, "Okay, we need another raise.
Oh, see you next time. We need another raise."
>> This couldn't exist in the private sector. This this could not have happened because it it can't afford they can't afford it. But these people can afford it because they just come to they come back to the public with their hand out. Oh, it's only going to be $28 a house for the average house. You just give us some more money. Well, you know, you started saying it was 28 bucks uh for the average priced house in Minneapolis. You probably started that about 30, 40 years ago. What's that?
What's that 28 bucks now a month?
Serious. What's What's 40 time 28?
>> 40 time 28?
>> Yeah. 40 time 12 >> $1,120.
>> Thanks.
>> I would say your property taxes in Minneapolis are [laughter] $1,000 more than they should be because of all the $28 a month you had to pitch in to help these morons who don't budget properly. Mhm.
>> And they get away with it because it's for the children >> and the children never see a dollar of it cuz it's all topheavy.
>> What a bunch of BS. And you wonder why there's only 29,000 kids in Minneapolis schools. Any parent in their right mind is not going to send a kid to that school system.
>> It's ridiculous. It's the failed academy times 10.
I have a plethora of flag updates and I've learned much to my disappointment that we're having a little trouble with the I know this surprises you that we would have a technical problem but we're having trouble with the crawl on adding new uh crawl people. I don't know why we're having trouble with >> there's no room at the end. It's full.
>> No, they're just Is that another Pat deal? Yeah, it's not updating. The uh the sheet that we use updates, but for some reason doesn't transfer to the actual crawl.
>> Another great idea to set us up for failure. Huh. [laughter] >> I shouldn't be bitching about uh the public failing to budget properly. We can't get the crawl proper. [laughter] Clara City, according to Daniel Johnson, Clara City is flying the true flag. I'm going to save these. They're going to get on there somehow. Akin, people keep bugging about Aken. I know Aken's flying the true flag. I can't. Is it on there?
>> No, it's on our sheet. [laughter] >> Well, if it's not on there, it's not happening.
>> Dan writes, "Took a road trip west and saw that Sacred Heart, Minnesota, and Clarkfield, Minnesota are both flying the True Flag. Add them to the crawl."
Well, we'd love to add that to the crawl. Clara City is where state highways 7 and 23 meet in Chip.
>> Richard writes, Richard writes, "This is the second time I've sent you regarding the Minnesota state flag. Have had no response."
>> Geez, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. As my previous email, we have a cabin on Hanging Kettle Lake in Aken.
The courthouse flies the true flag. Why has it not appeared in your crawl? Thank you. Uh, love the show, Rich. Well, Rich, I I'm telling you, we're I know Akens's flying the flag. We're trying to get it on there. Scott, uh flag update. I don't know if this one counts, but on Sunday, we ventured up to the Northern Lights Casino in Walker.
The flags on the How's this for irony?
>> Go.
>> The flags on the Leech Lake Reservation were the US flag, the Canadian flag, the Leech Lake Reservation flag, and the true Minnesota flag.
>> Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
>> Isn't that wonderful? The true Minnesota flag is racist against Native Americans.
>> That's what we That's what we're told by our DSA people.
>> I don't get that.
>> That's fantastic. That is fantastic.
Uh Mark writes uh Twin Oaks Resort in No Lake, Minnesota. I don't know if we're doing resorts, but what the hell added to the thing there?

>> Yeah.
>> The home of the traveling Lyman's worldwide waftage.com.
It was on this day, >> July 22nd >> in 1850.
This I remember this from last year. It happened too. What on this day in 1850, the steamboat Yankee proved that the Minnesota River was navigable by traveling for 300 miles upstream from Fort Snelling.
That's all we did today. The steamboat took off and >> serious question about a steamboat. Not joking.
>> Wheelbo.
>> Hey. Um, how did they measure that? How did they measure miles? They didn't have an odometer.
>> Let me tell you something.
>> Thank you, Matthew.
>> Am I Am I in line? Yeah, I just He just took me off the hook.
>> Am I a little bit lower than you?
>> I will [laughter] I will put $10 in your envelope.
I appreciate it, Rookie.
>> Okay, Rook. [laughter] Uh, I don't know.
Dean, >> you are the best. God, I love you.
>> I wasn't even trying to be silly. How would they know?
>> But you succeeded in >> Well, neither was I. [laughter] I'm just that dumb.
>> They probably had So am I.
>> I would imagine uh they >> marker. No, not the first.
>> Well, they probably had mile markers.
You know, >> electronic signs.
>> Yep.
>> Joe, don't lower yourself to our levels.
Just ignore us.
>> You're the smart one. Keep going.
>> In the 1850s, >> steamboat captains calculated mileage on rivers like the Mississippi and Ohio by using established river guides, pilot maps, and dead reckoning.
>> Yep. They knew that one dead log was a mile from the last one they saw.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> I'll buy that, Kenny.
>> Thank you. On this day in sports disappointment history, >> who' we lose to today, Joe, on July uh 22nd, >> 1944, on this day, I I already thought they did this. The Minneapolis Milleretses, that was a female baseball team, announced that they will play the rest of the season on the road. It seems to me that's come up just this year.
>> Yeah. I don't >> Did that ballpark go down? Is that why?
>> No, that didn't go down till about 56 or seven. Uh they were kicked out of Nicollet Park or some damn reason they Who knows? Uh on this day, >> July 22nd >> in uh you're supposed to see who' we lose to.
>> Oh yeah. Oh, I do it again.
>> I That's a good point. July 22nd.
>> Okay, Joe. 1990 [laughter] the Twins lost 10 to6 on five errors causing 10 unearned runs. Ooh.
>> Doesn't tell us uh who they [snorts] were playing, but what difference does it make? Our boys, I had hope for the boys, but they uh >> what have they had about 50 runs scored against them in the last three games.
>> They had a almost hit a hole.
>> Yeah, >> they had a lot of runs scored on them Sunday in Chicago.
>> They had a lot of runs scored on them Monday in Cleveland. They lost last night in Cleveland. Uh but I don't think it was a lopsided. I don't know what the score was last night.
>> Five to2 was the final. They lost.
>> 13 runs by the Cubs on Sunday, I think.
And what uh 10 on Monday by the the Tribe, >> I think. So, yeah. A lot.
>> Uh I do I do know why the Milleretses had to travel.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh they the closest team was 400 miles away.
>> Yeah.
>> And the teams complained about having to travel here because they weren't drawing any fans. So apparently low fan turnout and the teams didn't want to drive 400 miles.
>> Well, that kind of makes me think that our gals were the Kenny Sodbuster J of >> Yeah.
>> women's baseball, right? They were the chumps.
>> Boy, to be told that look, you don't have a home field anymore because nobody comes to see you anyway. You got to just play the rest of the game on >> Joe. Before we go, who is wearing the GL Dunce Camp home today? Kenny or Matthew?
