The Minnesota state flag, designed by Seth Eastman, depicts a settler farmer at his plow and an Indian warrior on horseback with St. Anthony Falls in the background, representing the state's history of both European settlement and Native American presence. Eastman, who attended West Point and served at Fort Snelling, learned the Dakota language and married a Dakota woman, creating a genuine cross-cultural connection. His detailed paintings of Native American life, including hunting, fishing, and daily activities, demonstrate ethnographic accuracy rather than romanticized or racist caricatures. The flag has been criticized as racist by some, but this interpretation overlooks the historical context and Eastman's authentic engagement with Dakota culture. The flag's imagery accurately represents Minnesota's territorial history and the complex relationship between settlers and Native Americans during the state's founding.

>> I've been trained properly, >> right?
>> You know, Jordy alerts me to something that was in the New York Post.
Uh we're no longer Well, in the 60s, it was the greenhouse effect. Remember that was going to kill us, >> right?
>> Well, that didn't happen. So, it was the coming ice age. That's when Newsweek had a blue planet on the cover. And that didn't scare people. So they went to a red planet and they called it global warming. That didn't do anything. So now it's called climate change.
>> And we don't have a color associated with that, do we?
>> No. And now, uh, according to the New York Post, we're returning to the coming ice age threat again. So just take your pick. Uh, whatever you want to get worried about.
>> You know what? I I thought of something today. We we've mentioned before that uh this uh actor named Kano Reeves uh I don't know a lot about him, but everything I've read about him, and that isn't much, suggests he's a pretty level-headed guy.
>> He's a guy.
>> He's a guy.
>> Yep.
>> And he he said he has gotten to the point in life where if somebody tells him 2 plus 2 is five, he's cool with that. You know what? I'm done worrying about it. Okay.
>> The response is 2 plus 2 is 5. Have a great day.
>> Yeah. I'm I think that's where I am right now. I think >> when I look at the daily happenings in this country, I'm ready to go to the two plus two is five side of the aisle here.
Okay.
>> You want to tell me that Trump's the greatest president in the history of the world, which many emailers.
>> I'm not going to say that.
>> Uh I'm going to just tell you that's fine, man. That's cool. That just it's great.
>> You're throwing in the Davis. I throwing in the Davis. See, that would be our term for it. That would be our term for it be before 2 plus two is five. Yes.
>> But I'm I'm there. I'm at the two. You know what? You want to tell me that there's no Minnesota is a wonderful place. And the fraud here is no worse than it is in any other state. That's part of the doing. 2 plus two is five.
You're right. Who cares? You're fine.
That's fine. I'd like to see what kind of feedback you get taking this stance via email.
>> Well, I don't think I'll get >> all of branches or >> No, I I don't I'm not seeking anything.
I'm telling you where I am personally because you know what? You can only you can only state the obvious so long and when it's rejected, >> fine. 2 plus 2 is five. You're right.
>> It that's the way it is now.
>> It's just the way it is. And that's fine. That's fine. Ilhan Omar for example.
>> She doesn't need to talk. What? What are we going to find out?
>> What? He's not going to say anything.
Can we have an Ilhan Omar update?
>> We may.
>> Yeah. I just want to get it out of the way.
>> Get it out of your system. What happened to my mouse?
>> Yeah.
>> Ain't got no mouse.
>> I wish it was.
>> This is an Ilhan Omar update.
>> I don't know why my mouse ain't working.
Cuz I just played something.
>> God help me. What did I tell you before the show?
>> It's not that computer. It's this computer.
>> Have the Ilhan Omar ready. Yeah, you know, somebody shut off my mouse. That's the problem here.
>> Okay, >> here we go.
>> Boy, what a what a roadblock you are.
>> You're welcome.
>> Just a great big giant bump.
>> Has he replaced me? Wait a minute. I I was the road slam on the desk or something.
>> I have something I have a um a motivational uh sentence for you, a paragraph here, Joe. I think you can relate to this.
>> You know what's underrated? letting people be. Letting them mispronounce a word like Crick or talk too much about >> a show they love or get excited about something you don't understand. You don't have to get it. Just be kind.
Everyone's got something that lights them up. Let them shine. Even if it's not your thing.
>> Here is your latest Ilhan report on Garage Logic.
>> Nice timing, Chris. May we start with the only audio I want which I approved before the show.
>> You did approve this audio. Uh Ilhan Omar.
>> This is Ilhan Omar walking in the halls of Congress being asked questions.
>> Now the thing is you got to keep in mind is I don't know I don't know the reporter's name that was uh >> I don't care what the reporter's name is. This is real and she was being asked questions by somebody that was a reporter.
>> I was trying to find that. So, this is a Fox News piece and >> Well, that's because nobody else covers her.
>> You know why that Yianno? You want to know why?
>> Why?
>> I don't know why. Why don't you tell me?
>> Why don't you just play this without a lot of chat?
>> Democrats to block the subpoena >> for the >> Okay. What?
>> I was stalling while we heard from the Home Depot.
>> Ask Minnesota Democrats to block the subpoena for the investigation of feeding our future on the state level.
House the House Republicans are considering investigating Feeding Our Future. Now, um your role in it, would you cooperate with that subpoena and provide documents if they request it here in the House Oversight Committee?
>> She just doesn't dain to >> Here's what you glean from the video, though. Here's what you glean from the video. There is a handler to her left who is just on the phone texting whoever >> got she got people.
>> She's staring at the ground not responding to this. How can you not conclude that she is guilty a >> This is her mo though. She's done this a hundred times. It'd be fun to see a highlight reel of all the various times that she has done exactly what we just heard there. She was asked, "Would you cooperate with a subpoena and provide documents if they requested here in the House Oversight Committee?" Didn't answer. Uh, "Did you ask Minnesota Democrats to block the subpoena for the investigation of Feeding Our Future on the state level?" She didn't answer. She just kept walking. That's today's Ilhan Omar update. You know what? 2 plus two is five. No, she's fine. She's fine. She's helpful to the people of Minnesota.
>> A lot of times she'll insult the uh reporter or the person asking the questions.
>> I'm glad you brought that up. I was expecting when I first saw this little snippet, I was expecting her to lash out with some sort of her >> sailor on leave profanity.
>> Exploive. Yeah, usually she does. You're right. Yeah. Now, I have been touting for two days the newsletter, the economic newsletter that Tom Lyman sent that was pure doom. Pure doom. And I I couch my words. I said, "This is a guy that has a newsletter and he sends this out to his club members or whatever."
And you take it for what it is.
>> And now I got a a a very nice note from a guy called Chris in Best Fargo.
>> Never heard of Best. He must like Fargo.
Hail the flashlight king.
>> Hail you.
>> I can't help but interject. After the past two days of reveling in Bob Reneer's The Sky is Falling newsletter, I thought I'd give you not a ray of hope, but reason to step back from the ledge.
Midwit that I am, I have been duped by enough doom propaganda to know it when I see it. Before I slalom through counterpoints, it's best to remind you that Bob, well-intentioned as he may be, has something to sell. Have you considered that Bob is sales pitch is tailored to crotchety old men exasperated by the state of modern affairs?
Wow.
And he said, "There are many of us. I'm not suggesting that anything Bob says in his newsletter is incorrect, but rather that he intentionally or not omits preient and crucial details that alter the context in which those facts might be interpreted. While Bob no doubt has been spending time artfully crafting an articulated pitch about why we're about to abruptly fall off a cliff, I've been talking to people who work in oil and logistics. What I've learned is not encouraging, but has given me reason to suspend finalizing my last will and testament. Here's what I gleaned speaking with people in the industry over the past several weeks. Number one, the US is a net exporter of oil. We have more than enough oil and refining capacity to satisfy our needs domestically. The picture that Bob paints suggests that all of the production, refining, and supply chains will fail because he assumes none of the stakeholders within these systems will adjust operations to accommodate changing market conditions. None of the domestic supply will run dry, but retail, commercial, and industrial users will struggle to secure immediate supply while our supply chain adjusts in order to keep the machines running. Bob goes into great detail describing oil reserves running dry, refinery shutting down in Europe. Do we live in Europe?
Has Bob considered how many oil wells and refineries are located in Europe?
Fellow dummies, please look that up while Joe is having an aneurysm.
Now, compare your findings to the US of petroleum. Compare the production, supply, and refining capacities of America where we live to our European counterpoints.
Point two, while the US has ample supply of light, sweet crude to refine into fuel, we have less heavy sour crude used for manufacturing and heavy lubricants.
Do you know who has extraordinary amounts of heavy sour crude?
>> Who? the soontobe 51st state, Alberta.
Do you know how much more uh do you know uh do you know do you know who has do you know who has much much more?
Venezuela.
>> Do you know who is currently controlling exports from Venezuela? Ask Kenny. He'll look it up for you. Boy, what a dummy Trump was for securing Venezuela's oil supply preceding a possible closing of the straight of of Hormuz.
We will all have all the supply we need, but it will be delayed and it will be expensive. US suppliers will be competing against foreign buyers willing to pay well above the spot price for oil. I anticipate a presidential emergency declaration or tariffs of some kind to temporarily inhibit the export of our precious petroleum product. I think we said that we said are we we we put that under the category are we too big to fail. The flip side of that coin is that these export restrictions can be used as leverage with belligerent world actors. Take that for what it's worth.
Three, to quote a friend who's an executive in the oil industry, if you have any plans to travel to a third world country in the next year, cancel your trip. You'll be walking into a humanitarian crisis. Oil producing countries will feel pain. But dystopian MadMax scenarios are likely to play out in already poor or unstable countries who do not produce and refine their own petroleum such as Somalia or the UK.
What alarms me what alarms me is a lack of attention being afforded to the revolution taking place in domestic trucking as we speak. For several years, domestic trucking has been overrun by migrant truck operators. usually with forged or no certifications, being given licenses to operate tractor trailers on American roadways by states purposely failing to review qualifications, enforce restrictions, or vet in any meaningful way who we let loose on our highways. This has led to countless avoidable and tragic deaths while simultaneously suppressing wages for honest operators. If you thought the food, daycare, and Medicaid scandals were bad, wait until you learn about trucking. At least defeating our future fraudsters weren't killing innocent people by the thousands nationwide.
Almost done. But I digress. Some friends of mine run a small family trucking company. While they've traditionally done very well for themselves, 2025 was their worst year ever, barely breaking even. However, the current administration began cracking down on fraudulent drivers, removing many from the road via testing and enforcement.
This had the effect of sharply increasing shipping rates as fewer fraudulent drivers became available to underbid shippers seeking carriers. Then last Friday, May 15th, the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that freight brokers can be held liable for damages and injuries caused by poorly vetted truck operators. This had the immediate effect of removing poor drivers from operation. I spoke with two people over the weekend who had shipments abandoned midtransit because their brokers fired unvetted drivers on the spot, leaving loads to be picked up sometime later by qualified operators. The market effect.
Trucking rates are surging to new all-time highs as brokers scramble for qualified insurable operators, going from about two bucks a mile to approaching $4 a mile in a matter of days. Those rates are only going to continue climbing as our domestic pool of some 5 million truck operators hemorrhages drivers by several hundred,000, possibly a million virtually overnight. Now combine that d driver shortage with current cost of diesel. In a few months, we will look back fondly to the days when diesel was just $6 a gallon. And he concludes by saying, "Maybe that ledge isn't looking so bad after all. Perhaps I'll have a beer about it. Good luck, Chris, in Best Fargo." All right. So now you've got two sides of that coin. You've got the two sides of the doom coin.
This fellow Chris sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
>> And Reneer sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
>> Where do you go?
>> So you just change your perspective.
>> No, you just go 2 + 2 is five.
>> You're still there.
>> Draw your own conclusions. Chris and I have kind of been dancing around that trucking issue for a long time. I do have one question and maybe the emailer can send another email back answering this. Who is to blame for hiring? Well, I just gave away the answer. Um, hiring all of these nonvetted drivers, >> the people who own the trucking companies, >> I would think so >> because they're they're they're finding people who are going to do it far cheaper than a traditional driver who is licensed and vetted.
>> The need far and away exceeds the demand. This sounds like something Krabby should talk about. We should find a >> It sounds like something you should do is drive a big rig to LA and back.
>> Kenny, I know of Joe. That is my dream.
>> I mean, you could get license. You could be insured.
>> I I want to be a hot shot driver, so I use my own truck to haul loads.
>> Well, that'd be cool. You got to own the truck.
>> I know you own the truck. I know him.
>> You got >> No, I know what he wants to do. He wants to be the snowman. He wants to have Floyd riding shotgun.
>> He wants to run cases of Bud Light across the Rockies.
>> Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's Coors Light. GD >> Coors Light.
>> I think it's more like BJ McKay at BJ and the Bear.
>> I'm talking to you about trucks. And here locally, the best place to get a truck is Rosedale Chevrolet because they are a commercial and business elite dealer, which means they have more inventory of trucks than virtually any other dealer in town. And that selection is work ready and ready for delivery.
1500s, 2500s, 3500s.
Versatile low cab forward medium duties with box upfits from 12 feet to 20 ft.
cutaway and express cargo vans, dump trucks, the big kind you love to play with.
>> Hell yeah.
>> And the and the mini ones. I mean, they got everything. And these guys are they've been they have a combined 75 years of experience selling trucks, >> you know, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, you name it, they've got the trucks to cover your job.

Okay. Here we go.
Cue the talent. Stand by. You asked for it.
>> Here's a guy who has embraced the thinking of Kiana Reeves. Here's Joe Susher.
>> Wow. You changing the name.
>> You can't pronounce my name, but she made a good effort.
>> It's like you with Damoth.
>> 2 plus 2 is five. What is the Kanu um thing? Just live and let live.
>> Yes. 2 plus 2 is five. Have a great day.

>> They do landscaping.
>> You mean like plants and stuff?
>> They You know what? Let's detour from the grass treatments. Both Chris and I have had ProTurf do landscaping for us.
In my case, I had a dreary, wet, gross backyard, and boy did they let the sunshine in. And they put in a patio and uh arbor fighty. Oh my goodness. It was good proper wood chips.
>> I got a little wood chip problem.
>> I can tell you this. I spent whatever I spent on a nice brick patio and that patio the money I spent on it doubled what they the value of the home. That's an investment.
>> I'm not joking. They they force your equity up. They give you curb appeal and they do wonders for your morale.

They've been with GL for I'm going to say 10 years, 15 years or more.
>> Exceptional lawn care, landscape, and irrigation service. The best in the Twin Cities. professional turf.com.
>> Uh, back to the uh gas prices. I was reading that uh our president is shrugging off the the gas prices and says that they're peanuts.
>> No.
>> Oh boy.
>> That's that's a let them eat cake thing.
>> 12 weeks into a war that was supposed to last six. Uh Trump said there is no rush to end the conflict.
I'm in no hurry. Everyone is saying, "Oh, the midterms, but I'm in no hurry."
Trump said in a response to question about striking a deal to open the straight of Hormuz about which I've been studying more and more. Uh it's an oddly beautiful stretch of land uh on the banks of the Hormuz. It's it's ancient colorful rocks and stones and it's very different.
Uh, so we're we're we we're told that the gas is uh it's his peanuts. So, well, it's peanuts if you're if you're the sap that's supposed to, you know, I know 2 plus two is five, but it becomes clearer every day that this is a paytoplay presidency.
You pay the right, you pay them, you pay them enough, you'll get what you want.
The rest of us saps are supposed to think that $5 a gallon gasoline is peanuts.
>> $459. And I saw a couple times in the Twin Cities. I got out of town yesterday and found something as low as 424, which is also way too high.
>> One year ago, 318.
>> Pressed on ballooning fuel costs yesterday, the president downplayed the pain at the pump, saying, "This is peanuts.
>> I don't appreciate that."
>> And Trump said he appreciates Americans putting up with the increased prices.
>> Well, we don't.
>> I don't think we have a choice.
president.
>> We We don't appreciate it.
>> Make it stop.
>> But, you know, 2 plus two is five. He's the greatest president we've ever had.
It He is a great president if you can if you can uh play in his league. Uh I don't happen to have any money or enough money to or no need to try to buy them.
So, I'm kind of out. I'm one of the saps that's supposed to think five bucks a gallon is peanuts. So are you. So is everybody on this staff. So is everybody listening. What are they paying in California? I've heard it's close to 10.
Oh, >> look.
>> Are you kidding me?
>> Well, let's look it up. And >> I'm on it.
>> Let's be factual.
>> Prices. Well, you got, you know, Joe, John, you guys get what you're voting for.
>> Yeah.
>> 615.
>> I didn't vote for him. I didn't vote for Harris.
>> Does our vote matter?
>> No.
>> No.
>> Not when you got a payto-play guy running the show.
>> I been thinking about this over and over lately. I think it only matters on the local level.
>> He is he is no different than any mysterious city council member. They just redistribute money to different crowds.
>> Diesel is 74 742 in California.
>> Thank you, Matthew.
>> Oh, >> well that's flirting with eight already.
>> I expected that to be $3 higher, >> but that's the average. I was going to say, keep in mind that's the average though, Ken.
>> You know, yesterday we mentioned this fellow who lost his life trying to keep his car from being stolen.
>> No. Yeah.
>> His name is Amos Frier.
And they've arrested two suspects.
>> Oh, good.
>> Both female.
Raniah Allen, 19, and Jalia Frost, 18.
>> I wouldn't have guessed that.
>> And uh >> not surprising.
>> I know that. I know that it's human instinct probably to not want your car to be stolen. Well, obviously it's human instinct. Well, you know what? You got to let it go.
Frier was an internship program director for the veteran focused nonprofit. Every third Saturday they run a coffee shop.
Uh people who work with him loved the guy said in every sense of the word he was just a special soul. He was infectious with his humor. He was a big guy and his laugh would reverberate throughout the building. Each and every one of them veterans they're referring to he was connected to was uh on some level he had just he just had the want to and the ability to connect and become like a big brother instead of a boss.
Uh the incident that took Frier's life unfolded during a busy event on Friday afternoon. McKenna said Frier noticed something happening outside.
This was a what? 54th and >> 54th Street and 43rd Avenue.
He was in the coffee shop and observed at least one individual, maybe two or three, but they had gone into his truck and took his bag and he ran out to stop them, he said. What happened next remains unclear.
We do not know if they got back in their car. We did not know if he stood in front of the car or jumped on the hood or if they started to run him over and he ended up on the hood, but anyway, they carried him almost a full city block on the hood. Then at some point, the driver of the vehicle swerved violently and threw him off and he hit his head on the pavement and that cost him his life.
He was rushed to the hospital unconscious. They did do emergency brain surgery, but he never woke up and the family decided to disconnect the life support Sunday. It's called Rick's Coffee Bar. It's in the same building as the Veterans Community Center and that's kind of down in the neighborhood by the vet hospital. It's just a few blocks away.
>> So, these two foul Teenage females have a lot to account for. This guy served 15 years in the army. He was combat decorated. He was a medic.
>> Uh >> I hope those two gals, if convicted, really have to do a lot of >> Well, you know, Mary will get a hold of them. And >> Joe, some people just don't have what what it takes to sit on the sideline and watch stuff like that happen. You know, it's the old firefighter police mentality. Some rush out while others, you know, the heroes rush in and that's what he was. I >> I was under the impression that his car was stolen and this says truck.
>> Oh, >> what could be >> that's reporting? Jeez. Really?
>> Well, as they watched out as he watched out the window, he noticed someone entering his truck. According to this report, previous report said car.
Doesn't make any difference whether it was a car or a truck. It was stolen from him. He tempted to stop. It ended up on the hood of the vehicle either because he was run into and leaped up there or he leaped up there intentionally. I don't know.
>> They got into their own vehicle, the vehicle that they arrived.
>> Oh, that's it. Yeah.
>> Oh, and he's trying to Okay.
>> He's trying to say, "Hey, >> he's trying to stop them from leaving the scene in their own vehicle."
>> That's the way I understand it. Yeah.
Uh, that's a shame. Uh, >> what a waste.
>> We all have to train ourselves, especially in this, godforsaken Twin Cities. Oh, I know. It's nice. We're Minnesota tonight.
>> But I will say this. I I've given you the two rules. You act one way when you're alone.
>> Yeah.
>> You act one way when, for me, like last night, I went >> He was alone.
>> I know, but I I went to the Twins game last night, right? Couldn't have been nicer. Mr. Money Talk hosted us lunch.
>> It was fantastic. Right. Not at one point. I never felt anything suspicious or anything like that.
>> I hope not. You were going to a ball game.

The convicted ring leader in the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud case, said she first learned about the 50-year prison sentence prosecutors are asking for during a remote video interview with her friends down at Five Investigates.
Amy Bach, the founder of the now defunct nonprofit, will be sentenced tomorrow.
Uh she said upon hearing about it, it's shocking, it's disappointing, it's hurtful, and heartbreaking. Bach is one of more than 60 defendants to be convicted in the conspiracy that cost taxpayers more than $250 million since being convicted on all counts over a year ago. She's been held in Sherburn County Jail where she is only allowed video visits and calls.
>> Why did she get 50 years but Abdul Salami Salami gets to go to Nigeria by a hotel?
>> Thank you. That's exactly what I wondered too when I saw this this morning.
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors have filed the first criminal fraud case connected to Minnesota's child care assistance program against a woman already charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
>> Mahima Aga Luhammad now faces one count of conspiracy to defraud the US after she allegedly received millions in CCAP funds without collecting required co-ayment from parents. In February, Muhammad was charged with wire fraud for her alleged involvement in the $250 million Feeding Our Future meal fraud scheme. According to the charging documents, all of her purported fraud activity came through her business, Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis. During the pandemic, Future Leaders allegedly received $854,000 in federal child nutrition program reimbursements under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future.

The Commodity Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a lawsuit yesterday against the state of Minnesota trying to block a new state law signed by Governor Walls that would make wagering or prediction markets a felony in the state. The CFTC is seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent the law from taking effect on August 1st. That law would criminalize trading in many CFTC regulated markets like Poly Market and Kshi. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said the Minnesota law turns lawful operators and participants in prediction markets into felons overnight. The CFTC has also filed lawsuits in Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, and New York related to their gambling laws.
Update to a story we had a while back. A 22-year-old man accused of forging a birth certificate to enroll as a teenage student at White Bear Lake High School has been arrested after he previously skipped out on a court hearing. Kelvin Lubki's initial hearing was set for April 30th, but he failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Ramsey County jail records show Lubki was arrested Monday afternoon and released on bond less than 5 hours later. He made his first court appearance Tuesday morning. According to court records, had his bond set at $5,000. He was also granted a public a public defender. Lubkkey faces two counts of aggravated forgery, one count of forgery using false ID after he allegedly faked a Liberian birth certificate under the name Kelvin Cotti Perry Jr. Lubki was adopted from Liberia as a child. He said his biological father, who still lives in Africa, helped him obtain the new birth certificate. The Liberian birth certificate was used to enroll at White Bear Lake High School last year and it listed his birth as 2007.
despite Luke Key having a Minnesota driver's license, US passport, US birth certificate, and Minnesota birth certificate, all saying he was born in 2003.

Corbin said more than a year of construction along Henipin Avenue have hurt businesses. She said the new design is confusing and it makes it difficult for drivers. Henipin Avenue went from four lanes for cars to two. The new design includes a median in the middle along with bus lanes and bike lanes. A county spokesperson sent a statement to Five Eyewitness News yesterday saying, "We are working toward a future design for Lindale Avenue to improve safety and accessibility for all people."

>> Thank you. Thank you.
>> Thank you. In other news, >> flight service, >> at least at least 42 United States military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, have been lost or damaged during the war in Iran, according to an official report. The losses may increase, according to the report, due to multiple factors, including classification, ongoing combat activity, and attribution. And this all comes from the Congressional Research Service. Recently, the Pentagon declared the cost of military ops against Iran under Operation Epic Fury has already climbed to about $ 29 billion. A lot of that increase, said Pentagon Finance Chief Jules Hurst III, comes from having a refined estimate to repair or replace costs for equipment. The US Department of Defense has not published a comprehensive assessment of combat losses so far. The CRS provides policy and legal analysis to the Congress and committees compiled the losses by perusing news reports and statements by the Department of Defense and the US Central Command.
>> John, we have joining us our Mastern correspondent, Mr. Vogle, who >> who traveled with the president to China but then did not come back to the US.

>> You're welcome.
>> President Trump got his revenge.
>> So fun how we can get him a hold of him right away.
>> Well, no, I had I talked to him before the show.
>> Like an ISDN line, too.
>> President Trump finally got his revenge on Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie last night. Massie losing to Trump endorsed former Navy Seal Ed Galain in Kucky's fourth district in a primary that became the most expensive intraarty house fight on record. It's the latest in a string of primary victories for the president that cementss his grip on the GOP even as his overall approval numbers continue to sag. Massie has long been an irritant for the president and house GOP leaders.
But his votes against Trump's signature tax and spending package, moves to reign in the president's war powers over Iran, stewardship of the bipartisan effort to release the Epstein files finally push the president to front a primary challenger. A pair of pro-Israel super PACs linked to the American Israeli public affairs committee and the Republican Jewish Coalition spent more than $9 million targeting Massie who was routinely rejected efforts for financial aid and symbolic support for the US ally.
>> How bad are the Epstein files that $32 million was spent to defeat Massie in a primary?
$32 million to defeat Massie in a primary.
2 plus two is five. That's where that's where your theory really works. And >> see why I've arrived at that theory.
>> I do see why. Meanwhile, Republican senators are not happy to hear that President Trump is endorsing Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General in that state Senate primary runoff, warning that his snub of the incumbent Senator John Cornine could risk the seat and the party's fight to keep its majority.
Heading into their weekly GOP lunchon not long after the president posted his choice on social media yesterday. Many Senate Republicans appeared stunned and angry as they learned the news which dealt a serious blow to Cornine who has served for more than two decades. North Dakota Senator John Hovind walked out saying only oh boy to reporters and then he said obviously I support Senator Corine. The stone-faced Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi refused to answer any questions about the endorsement.
Many Senate Republicans, including the majority leader, John Thun of South Dakota, had been urging Trump to back Cornine, whom they saw as a stronger candidate in a general election. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina uh South Carolina said the president had a right to the endorsement, but added, "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the pathway for Paxton is there, but it's more uphill." Democrats have been optimistic about their chances in Texas after nominating James Terico, a state legislator who is focused in outreach to independent voters. Many Republicans think Telerico would have an easier time beating Paxton than Cornine.
US government will permanently drop tax claims against President Trump according to that settlement we talked about. The document made public yesterday. Uh that news coming out yesterday afternoon as part of the settlement deal meant to resolve Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns. The US is quote forever barred and precluded from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization's current tax examinations. according to a one-page document posted to the Justice Department's website.
Meanwhile, two police officers who helped defend the US capital from an attack by the mob at uh on January 6 of 2021 have sued this morning. They say the 1.776 billion settlement fund for people who claim to be victims of political motivated prosecutions is not lawful.
More than 100 police officers injured during the capital riot. The plaintiff suing Trump over the fund are Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodgeges. Former US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Dunn is running in Maryland for a seat in Congress. Hajes and Dunn both testified before Congress about their experiences on January 6th. You've probably seen the video of uh Hajes. He was the officer who was pinned against a door during a fight for control of a tunnel entrance.
>> Well, uh I certainly don't blame them for filing the lawsuit.
Barty Frank, the longtime Democratic congressman and leading liberal who brought new visibility to gay rights, has died. Vardy was already 86 years old. Time flies, doesn't it?
>> Mhm.
>> Frank died late Tuesday, according to Jim Seagull, Frank's former campaign manager and friend. After representing broad swaths of Boston suburbs and Congress for 32 years, Frank and his husband moved to Maine. He entered hospice there in April with congestive heart failure.

>> Yeah, just like that.
>> Seth Eastman, a portfolio of North American Indian. Just a lovely, lovely book of extraordinary drawings and a letter from the benefactor who has uh given us this book, a guy named uh Tim Reagan, and he writes, "Hail the flashlight king."
>> Hail you >> Joel. This book, Seth Eastman, a portfolio of North American Indians, is a gift from is a gift to the whole GL staff in gratitude for your vigilance in flying high the flag of common sense.
Learn about Seth Eastman, the artist who designed our state flag. Enjoy looking at the pictures. Brag to your friends about it. The Minnesota state flag is not racist. It depicts a settler farmer at his plow and an Indian warrior on horseback with St. Anthony Falls in the background. Both figures are fairly represented. They are not caricatures.
Seth Eastman, the designer of the flag, attended West Point where with a talent for art, he studed mil studied military draftsmanship.
After graduation, he was assigned to the US Army outpost of Fort Snelling at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers in the Minnesota territory. Seth Eastman was not a racist. At Fort Snelly, he learned to speak the Dakota language. He took a Dakota woman walk- on in win or stands sacred for his wife, his first wife.
This young woman was the daughter of cloud man, the famous chief of the Dakota village on Lake Bed Makasca, later Lake Calhoun. She bore him a girl child named Stands Like a Spirit who grew up to to be a beautiful young woman and married a a Dakota man. Their son, whom they named Charles Eastman, was one of the first American Indians ever to graduate from a US medical school and later in his life became an eloquent spokesman for the rights of American Indians. Eastman took advantage of his time at the fort to engage in his passion for art. The Dakota and Ojiway who lived near Fort Snelling became his favorite artistic subject. His empathy for them is plainly evident in the pictures in this book. He did not romanticize the Indians. He was interested in real people in their actual lives, hunting, fishing, traveling, and playing, which he painted in great detail. He was an ethnographer as much as an artist. Over his career, Seth Eastman produced hundreds of pictures of Minnesota Indians, an enormous body of work.
After his duty at Fort Snelling, Eastman was transferred to Louisiana, then to Texas, to Florida, Washington DC, back to West Point, and finally again to Fort Snelling. He was invited by Henry Rose Schoolcraft to contribute to a study of American Indians commissioned by Congress. He submitted paintings of Indian life from the many field sketches in his possession. The ambitious school craft project was eventually published in six volumes called information regarding the history conditions and prospects prospects of the Indian tribes of the United States. When Minnesota officially became a US territory, Governor Henry Sibi commissioned Seth Eastman to design the territorial seal.
Eastman accordingly produced a circular watercolor picture that was later incorporated into our state flag. The original image is shown on page 163 in the book and Mansour Sushi. Let's not forget our French heritage. The Minnesota state flag bears the words above the Indian and the farmer leto dunor. Have a great week Tim Rean. Here is the original drawing of the state seal, which is the settler and the brave.
>> That's cool. Down to your left. Your other left. Your other left. There you go.
>> Yeah. The the the circle, not the square.
>> It's in there.
>> Circle gets the square.
>> It's that book, by the way.
>> The point is this book is extraordinary.
>> It's stunning. Seth from Brunswick, Maine was the eldest of 13 children.
>> The paintings in the book are absolutely extraordinary in their detail. It's just lovely.
>> That first wife of his was 15 years old.
They had a daughter, Winona. When he was reassigned, he declared his marriage ended.
>> Oh. He he said to the wife, "I'm moving.
You're not." We can't do that, can we?
No.
>> But was she happy about it? She may have been happy about You go right ahead.
Just turn the sprinkler on in the front yard.
>> What?
>> May I ask a dumb question? I >> think all of our wives.
When I look through this book and look at these paintings in detail and know more and more about Eastman, uh that original flag which is being flown throughout the state still many people are just choosing not to fly the fraud flag. It is so historically accurate. It is so beautiful and so meaningful. It has nothing to do with racism. Zero.
>> No. And it was brought to us by a guy who lived among the Dakota and became friends with them and married them and talked to them and and knew them and and to think that these nar do wells that we have in place now when they were enjoying their trifecta status just whipped out this ridiculous meaningless new flag is such an insult to this original work. It's just an insult. And I'm so glad that many towns and cities in uh Minnesota, the crawl, we're not running the crawl today. I don't know why you didn't run the crawl.
>> The the crawl of all the cities flying the original flag is growing. We continue to add to it every year. It comes Babbot, Baldwin, Belleview, Big Lake, Brewster, Brownsville, Byron.
>> Okay.
>> All right.
>> This whole story has ups and downs.
Winona who he left. He like Kenny said, he declared his second marriage was ended when he was reassigned as was typical of many European-American men who abandoned Indian women and their children.
>> Well, that doesn't speak well for him.
>> No. Winona then married a Santi Sue had five children, dying at the birth of her youngest known as Charles, who became uh the first name.
>> Why would she have five kids if she died at the youngest?
>> The at the at the birth of the fifth child.
>> I see. I see. But, uh, Charles, that guy was the first doctor, uh, Native American doctor.
>> But no matter what page you open to in this book, uh, >> yeah, I want to flip through that. I want >> incredible. Well, it has to stay here.
It's for the staff.
>> No, I want to flip through it in here.
>> The people that call that flag racist, doesn't that say more about what's in their heart than what's in the rest of us? That I just don't see the racism there. And I I consider myself sensitive to that issue.
>> But that accusation is brought to you by dark people.
>> People with dark souls who want you to see that. That's what they want because they're that doesn't fit their agenda if you don't see that. Their agenda is to be shameful and victimized and and whatever. This is just a gorgeous work.
And I thank you, Mr. Reagan, for this book. I mean, this book wasn't cheap. I don't know what is the price still on here. The price isn't on here, but this is a big big thick.
>> It's not one you scooped up a good one.
>> No, you don't put this in your pocket.
>> That book is probably going to disappear the next time I'm in the twin.
>> No, I've got a place for in mind here in this in the uh in the office in our office suite where I'll keep it.
>> Yeah.
>> Which, by the way, can you clean that mess up? It's embarrassing.
>> I know where everything is.
>> Let me get rid of the micro.
>> I couldn't find any postits on your desk yesterday.
>> I know where they are.
>> Um I I have >> two things.
>> Oh, go ahead. Good. Sorry.
