But we're receiving a significant revenue kick in. 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.479 It's not, again, nearly as much as what Iowa is getting. 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:49.120 But the thing about it is the fact that no leadership is talking about this, no DFL leadership is talking about this. 00:02:49.280 --> 00:03:01.439 We haven't heard anything from Governor Dim Walls or any of the other DFL leadership, while I do have commentary from the GOP leadership expressing their frustration that they chose Iowa over Minnesota. 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:15.120 And there's a very specific reason why you're not hearing from DFL leadership or Governor Dim Walls coming, uh, you know, coming out and saying, hey, we're gonna be getting you know two to five billion dollars in revenue because it's still a loss for the state. 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.319 So we'll be diving into this story coming up later on in the show. 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:36.560 Also, big uh big news broke yesterday afternoon, and it's one of the lead stories across almost all of the um local news outlets, and that is attorney general thief Ellison has charged a handful of individuals with fraud. 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.280 Okay? 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.479 That's a good thing. 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.800 We want people charged when they commit acts of fraud here in Minnesota. 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:49.439 However, the devil, just like the Iowa Steel deal, the devil is in the details. 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.759 You don't want to miss the commentary surrounding this, probably like around 7.30 uh this morning. 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:08.000 Because do not buy into the way that the media is propping up this story and ultimately propping up attorney general candidate fighting for his electoral life in this election. 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:08.560 Right? 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.919 Do not take that at face value because you got to get into the details of what has actually happened here. 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:21.040 And more specifically, I won't bury the lead on this, and like I said, we'll get into more details coming up in the 7 o'clock hour. 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:28.160 But most specifically is there's a lot of catching of the fraudsters afterwards, but there's still very little stopping in on the front end. 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.920 And therein lies the problem here. 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:38.800 Not to mention the fact that this comes on the heel of that devastating uh Office of Legislative Auditor report regarding fraud here in Minnesota. 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.279 And it's politically timed to benefit Thief Ellison. 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:55.600 Now, we were also supposed to have Bill Walsh here from Center of the American Experiment in studio uh to give you some of the latest uh polling numbers from the exclusive Thinking Minnesota poll this year ahead of the elections. 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:05.680 Unfortunately, he's double booked and has to go uh to an event in downtown Minneapolis where one of our other um policy fellows, Darren Nelson, who had joined us earlier in the week on the show. 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:19.199 So he will not be joining us today, but we will get into specifically those Thinking Minnesota polling numbers regarding how the Democrats have a big, big DSA problem on their hands. 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.199 And that was clear within those uh polling numbers. 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:39.279 Now I will share with you some exclusive information from this polling, but we'll do the larger conversation and bring you the more specific uh data points of that polling coming up tomorrow at 8:30 on the show with Bill Walsh. 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.279 So you definitely do not want to miss. 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:52.800 And this is exclusive uh polling information you're not gonna find uh anywhere else that is very insightful regarding where the minds of the voters are, where your mind is currently at. 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.839 And I'll certainly be curious to hear your thoughts if you agree with the uh polling numbers or not. 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:03.360 All right, let's go ahead and just make this uh official now that we got a bit of a preview of the show out of the way. 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:10.000 Again, congressional candidate Eric Pratt will be joining us coming up uh just after the top of the hour, uh seven o'clock. 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:22.399 The best pod away getting up is knowing Jamala Stuff. 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.639 It didn't feel right. 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.319 Like after that incredibly wonky start, I felt like I needed to reset the table here. 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.759 So we had a friend of the show that texted into the blaster line, 651-964-0294. 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:56.079 A.G. 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.360 Ellison announces the new Medica uh Medicaid fraud charges, as I mentioned, including against a Duluth provider. 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.560 Too little too late. 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.680 What has Ellison been doing for years before Nick Shirley appeared in Minneapolis? 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:15.120 And before Nick Shirley, you know, Alpha News, Liz Collins, Jenna Globe, and then a fantastic investigative team over there. 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.800 It's a fantastic question. 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.079 And thank you so much for the uh for the text on the blaster line. 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.879 651-964-0294. 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.959 So you heard the uh best part of waking up. 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.079 Uh, I don't have a good place to play this, so I'll just share it with you now. 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.199 I was going through and grabbing audio for the show today, and I came across this particular piece of audio. 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:43.360 As I mentioned yesterday, you know that there's a lot of talk that Kamala Harris will run again for the presidency, for the nomination for the Democrats in 2028. 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.120 The

question that I have is, are they going to run the whole thing back again? 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.480 Will she choose Governor Dim Walls as her running mate? 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.879 I hope that both things happen. 00:07:54.079 --> 00:08:02.160 Because it would be an incredibly entertaining election, especially watching the Democrats flounder over who they're going to end up throwing their support behind. 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.040 Because, you know, if they don't support Kamala Harris as their nominee, aren't they a bunch of racists if that's the case? 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.040 I mean, that's what they're they constantly tell us. 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.720 Uh Kamala Harris was on a podcast recently, and again, just uh further evidence of why I want to see her run for office again. 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.839 So I'll speak for myself. 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:24.000 None of us achieve success without that level of profound support and and and reinforcement. 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:25.199 Yes, yes. 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:25.759 Right? 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:40.480 Around not only a memory of legacy and the path on which you stand that was was charted long before you, but also giving you some sense of pride in what can be the destiny and was the destiny that so many fought for. 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.039 Yeah. 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.679 Right? 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.879 Yeah, yeah. 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.120 What the hell is she talking about? 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.600 And I love how the house, yeah, yeah. 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.879 Not paying attention to a word that Kamala Harris is saying because you simply can't understand it. 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.000 She's a simpleton. 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.840 AI is kind of a fancy thing. 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.600 It's first of all, it's two letters. 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.000 It means artificial intelligence. 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.759 But ultimately what it is is it's about machine learning. 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.120 And so the machine is taught. 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:19.759 And part of the issue here is what information is going into Yeah. 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.000 You tell us more about artificial intelligence or uh superintelligence, as uh President Donald Trump has ushered in. 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.080 And I have a story on that uh coming up in just a few minutes here on the show. 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.840 Uh also, without a place to go and put it officially, let me share this with you. 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:46.399 Dan Bongino, uh no longer serving in the administration, um, back to doing commentary and providing a lot of inside uh information and insight, you know. 00:09:46.559 --> 00:10:00.240 Whereas we have foes of the show who stupidly um act as if they're getting intel uh briefings, you know, uh individuals like Dan Bongino, they actually got intelligence briefings when it comes to things like the war in Iran. 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:12.879 And here, talking to, I believe, Sean Hannity on Fox News overnight, he discusses specifically the threat from Iran and how it went far beyond their nuclear program. 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.000 Had the privilege of working for uh President Trump, and you get the President's Daily Brief. 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:28.399 And although I can't elaborate on some of the specifics, speaking in generalities, the Iranian issue had to be dealt with, or your gas prices would have been eight and ten dollars a gallon. 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:41.440 Not only would they potentially control the strait, you would have had an entire disruption, a regional war, you would have seen uh, you know, the the the Hooties involved, you could have seen scenarios 10,000 times worse than we see now. 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.279 And and just to get into that, it wasn't just the nuclear threat. 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:57.200 Again, speaking as as generally as I can, there were other threats out there that people in the UC, the US intelligence community, they're not gonna give you all the details because we can with resources. 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:04.480 But you have things like cyber attacks, given the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence uh that we've seen. 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.480 The Iranians don't care. 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.399 Like whether their cyber grid got wiped out or not, they don't care. 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.879 They're not interested in in uh deterrence by usily assure destruction. 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.399 They don't care if everyone is destroyed as long as you're destroyed first. 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.080 It was also one more thing, Tony. 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.720 It was not just a nuclear threat and attacks on our grid, it was also the potential for uh lethal plotting. 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.919 The assassination attempts over and over and over again had the potential for massive disruption. 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.799 I mean, we didn't need another Archduke Ferdinand moment. 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:44.960 And don't forget that President Donald Trump was speaking about the threat from Iran going back some 40 years ago. 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.440 This was always something that he specifically wanted to go and deal with. 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.600 And if not Trump, then who? 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.919 And if not now, when? 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.039 I know that it's caused difficulties for individuals. 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:24.000 Um when it comes to the gas prices, diesel specifically, regardless of what foes of the shows of the show want to do in terms of stupid memes coming at me on X for those that were on my feed uh uh yesterday, and diesel prices are more influenced by the war in uh the Ukraine versus Russia than what's going on, you know, here in or there in Iran. 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.240 When it comes to our gas prices, of course, uh it is impacted by Iran. 00:12:28.480 -->

00:12:30.960 But if not now, when? 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:47.360 It's funny, yesterday this uh foe at the show, as I mentioned, they put up uh a photo of a generic white dude in a Make America Great Again hat, and he's next to a sign for uh diesel gasoline, where the gasoline was like seven dollars and eighty-six a gallon. 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:55.120 And uh the caption was a small price to pay to keep uh trans kids from playing in girls' sports. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:12.799 And it was a really interesting meme from the standpoint of again, this was in response to commentary that I had regarding Iran and wherein the diesel prices had nothing to do, you know, very little to do with the war in in Iran and more to do with Russia in Ukraine. 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:39.840 But the second part of it, too, I don't know about you, but I'll pay higher gas prices if it if it somehow is correlated with keeping biological boys from playing in girls' sports, stripping away women's ability, girls' ability to achieve massive success that's being pushed down because boys are playing, or keeping them safe from injury. 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.840 So, yeah, I'll pay higher gas prices if it means we can keep boys from playing in girl sports. 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.600 But they think it's an own. 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.759 It's so very, very weird. 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.200 All right. 00:13:49.440 --> 00:14:01.360 Uh, before we get into as I mentioned, Trump argued in the order that AI, because he's now issued an executive order calling a superintelligence, and we talked with David about this earlier in the week, and I have a different take on this now. 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.000 I'll share with you what that take is coming up here in a bit. 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.120 I think this is a good idea. 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:05.840 It's calculated. 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.240 Trump doesn't do anything, it's it's calculated. 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:08.879 Okay. 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.000 So we'll get into this. 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:17.120 Plus another Supreme Court ruling regarding Trump being able to resume third country deportations for illegal aliens. 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:29.120 Um, one more sort of off-the-beaten path item, but a story that I continue to watch with great interest, and that is uh the alleged discovery of Noah's Ark. 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.399 There's an article that I found in IFL Science. 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:44.480 Uh, researchers, including a team led by a professor Senker Attila, continue to investigate the formation near Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, a site believed by some to be Noah's Ark. 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:55.519 However, uh, the site is widely considered, according to the summary of this article, a common geological structure, likely to be formed of volcanic minerals and mud and landslides. 00:14:55.679 --> 00:15:03.039 Despite numerous expeditions, the existence of Noah's Ark remains unproven in the latest

investigation, is unlikely to yield new findings. 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:10.639 Although they continue to go and dig at the site and find petrified wood uh samples, and so they are getting further uh to the truth. 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:19.200 What's funny about this, though, is the whole article is based off of uh debunking this claim that this is the actual resting place of Noah's Ark. 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:24.240 The headline itself is no, researchers haven't found Noah's Ark near Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.240 So I'm like, oh, this is interesting. 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.480 So when you look into the article, it's pure speculation. 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:38.960 It's just this person taking a contrary stance against what the scientists on the ground and others are saying about this potentially being the resting place of Noah's Ark. 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.919 But what I found most interesting about it was when you find out who this individual is, uh, his name is Tom Hale. 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.600 He's a seni a senior journalist. 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.919 Tom has a master's degree in journalism. 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.679 His editorial work uh covers uh the environment, technology, and culture. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:01.440 So he's not a geologist or a theologian, but apparently he plays one in real life. 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.240 So uh take this senior journalist's uh comments with a grain of salt. 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:16.080 I do have some audio I want to share, though, uh, regarding the latest um surrounding uh the investigation into whether or not this is the actual uh Noah's Ark. 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:23.360 It's laying on the lower mountain, a mountain called Mount Judy, and the word Judy means doomsday mountain. 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.440 And if you go to the top of that mountain, you can go to the place where the ark first landed. 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:37.919 There's a huge dip in the ground, that's where the ark first landed, and the top of that mountain from ancient, ancient times, is called the place of the landing. 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:47.600 And over 4,000 years, because it's a it's a mudslide, the ark came down the side of the hill and finally came to rest in its current location. 00:16:47.679 --> 00:17:02.879 And every spring, when the rains happen and the snow melts, all the mud begins to move, but that one object just sits right there, and it seems like that big rock that rolled into it is what's holding it there in that single position. 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.519 Its shape only becomes more pronounced year after year after year. 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:13.599 Everything else around it moves, and the arc just becomes more sticking out clearer and clearer all the time. 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.720 I think it's amazing. 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:36.480 It it's absolutely amazing, and I remember seeing one picture where it was split down the middle of dating 1961, I believe, and then on the right side was the ship of 2019, and it shows how even what they saw in 1961 as a ship formation has since been revealed even more because of how everything has kind of flowed around it, but it hasn't changed. 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.079 It hasn't moved with everything else. 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.240 This is my favorite thing, Tony. 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:53.839 On the very top of the mountain, near the place of the landing, this huge dip where the ship first landed, the local Kurds knew for thousands of years that right near there was a massive altar. 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.240 It is the altar that Noah used. 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:03.839 And when you go to that altar, it is not hard to imagine all the events described in Genesis chapter 9. 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.680 There is a groove that is cut right across the top of the altar. 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.279 I don't know if you saw it in the book or not. 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:09.759 I did. 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:18.480 But you can see that it was made with a human chisel or some kind of human instrumentation, and that is where Noah offered up his first sacrifice to God. 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:30.079 You can just see the blood flowing right through that groove right off the side of the of that big rock, the rainbow appearing, and God giving the first law, which was really bizarre. 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:31.440 What a strange law. 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:33.839 You may not drink blood. 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.880 Why in the world would that be the first law after they came off the ark? 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.200 And the answer is the Nephilim. 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:41.920 Yes. 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.240 The Nephilim were cannibals. 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:59.519 They ate people, they drank blood, they they were cannibals, and so when God gave that as the first rule, it was the equivalent of saying, okay, no, now we've cleaned up this thing, let's never go back and do what we just took care of. 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.400 Don't ever go back to these days of cannibalism. 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.559 But the Nephilim were really in the world in the days before the flood. 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.480 Yeah, absolutely were. 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:21.759 There's an interesting There's an interesting thing that's happening right now within social media, and it's more of a cultural thing beyond social media that I want to mention briefly in light of the story. 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.440 And uh forgive me for not having the actual source of where I pulled that audio. 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:32.480 Uh, I had it for earlier in the week and through my notes I deleted where uh where I actually pulled that uh piece of audio from. 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.200 But uh I just found it compelling because I find the whole thing compelling. 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:47.920 You know, as a Bible-believing uh Christian, uh this is an an incredibly fascinating and

intriguing story, regardless of whether or not it is proven or not proven to be the final resting place of Noah's Ark. 00:19:48.000 --> 00:20:02.799 But there's something larger that's going on in context with this story and the biblical implications that it holds, and that is the fact that the progressive churches, especially here in Minnesota, are suddenly being exposed in a way that I haven't seen before. 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:20.319 It's becoming a trend for individuals to start filming some of these sermons that are taking place in these progressive churches, in what I believe is pure sacrilege coming from these alleged reverends and pastors and priests. 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.440 We're gonna dive into a bit of this on Freedom Friday. 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:29.680 I want to keep it lighter, but I've been compiling some of some of the clips, and we shared some yesterday with you as well. 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:42.160 All of this speaks to what I've talked about on the show and what a lot of other people are identifying, and that is the spiritual war that is taking place right now that usually is underneath the surface. 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.720 It kind of contextually is in the background, it's not really out in the open, it's getting out in the open. 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:50.480 That's a good thing to me. 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:52.400 That's a great thing to me. 00:20:52.559 --> 00:21:04.319 The more that we can discuss the biblical aspects of what we're dealing with on a daily basis, and more specifically, how the leftists are seeking to distort the truth coming from the Bible. 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.400 The more exposure that this commentary, this narrative needs. 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:17.920 So I'm really pleased to see it, and we'll be talking about it and sharing some of the more ridiculous clips coming up on Friday during a Freedom Friday. 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:25.279 Uh from TP USA Amanda Lamar will be joining us in the studio again, uh, plus Catherine Johnson uh along with Max Reimer and uh A.K. 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:25.839 Kamara. 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.960 And we're gonna be rotating some people through in the course of the next few weeks on a uh on a Freedom Friday. 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:32.400 So we're looking forward to uh that. 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:46.400 All right, coming up, Trump has argued in his new executive order that artificial intelligence no longer reflects the technology's rapid uh advancing capabilities, is saying that superintelligence better captures its promise and potential. 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.640 This is an incredibly calculated move. 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:56.720 I was a little reluctant, as you probably heard earlier this week, talking with David Gartenstein Ross to hop on board with this. 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.680 Now I'm beginning to understand what Trump's move. 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.359 Here might actually be. 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.119 So I'm going to share with you

the details. 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.680 The Supreme Court a ruling coming up. 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.440 And another example of why you have to wait for the full truth to emerge. 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:17.920 Remember that Venezuelan national that the leftists and the media was all in a hubbub about that was shot by ICE agents and saying that this was an unwarranted shooting? 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:24.000 Yeah, uh, he's now been charged as the truth finally uh comes out. 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.079 So we'll get to that story coming up in a few minutes here on the John Justice Show. 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:35.039 Remember, if you want to leave a voice or text message at any point throughout the program, 651-964-0294. 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.079 I want to talk for just a moment about your closet. 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:40.160 No, not you being in the closet. 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.720 No, not that. 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.599 That's none of my business. 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.319 No, I'm talking about what's in your closet. 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.880 This is actually the same circumstance for me. 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:50.640 Um, it's probably full because nothing fits. 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:57.440 You go to put on, like for me recently, after dropping 30 pounds on the Neutrowave program, I've had to go and wash a bunch of shirts. 00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.279 Melinda actually thought I went shopping. 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:01.680 She was like, Wouldn't you go buy these shirts? 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.039 And I go, I've had these shirts forever. 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.440 I just haven't been able to wear them because they've been too uncomfortable. 00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:11.839 And they've been hanging in the closet too long that you know they hang in the closet for a length of time and they get a little bit of a musty, dusty smell on them. 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:12.880 Devin agrees. 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.680 All right. 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:19.440 If if this is the same thing for you, all right, you need to check out the neutral wave program. 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:27.279 While you're at it, in your pantry, read the ingredients and those ingredients that you can't announce or you can't pronounce on the packaging. 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.960 It's not food that's chemicals. 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.200 Hyperprocessed food is everywhere. 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:43.279 And the research shows, and it's an aspect of the neutral wave program that I have not covered on the show, the research absolutely shows that it's contributing to lousy sleep, to weight gain. 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.640 It's a two-for-one deal that nobody asked for, right? 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:57.759 When you're dealing with what's taking place with your body, you're putting on the weight, your clothes don't fit, at the same time, you're not getting a good night's sleep. 00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.880 Even taking mini-leaf night gummies, this is where neutral wave comes into place. 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.480 NeutralWave and Edyna took a refreshingly simple approach. 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.519 40 days, all natural, right?

00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:14.640 Thanks, Trump. 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.759 All right, let's go here. 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:24.000 The term superintelligence more appropriately captures the promised potential and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:38.240 According to President Donald Trump, an executive order following remarks made at last week's United Nations General Assembly, where he publicly called to replace the term artificial intelligence with superintelligence. 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:44.640 Trump argued that in the order that the AI no longer reflects the way that the technology is advancing. 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:58.160 He also wrote that modern AI systems are increasingly amplifying human ingenuity, unlocking new forms of creativity and arguing uh they represent the beginning of a new era of superintelligence. 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:04.160 Now, there were a lot of leaders that were at the White House over the course of the last uh few days. 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:10.480 You had uh Mark Zuckerberg, you had Elon Musk all taking part in this summit regarding superintelligence. 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:29.359 And while I was, again, a little you know torn on this talking with David Gartenstein Ross about changing the name, I think this is a calculation to separate what the United States is doing versus our adversaries in the race to win the war of artificial intelligence. 00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:34.880 Now, we don't know what that actually means, as we discussed with David Gartenstein Ross yesterday. 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:39.680 You know, winning the war of artificial intelligence that could come in many different forms. 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:44.880 One of the ways that I spoke with David was, you know, having a U.S. 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:51.599 company be the ones using a large language model predominantly for the rest of the globe. 00:33:51.759 --> 00:34:07.279 Like if you have an American company that ends up being the leader in artificial intelligence usage because of their artificial intelligence, that could be a means at which the United States could end up taking a step closer to winning the war for artificial intelligence. 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.639 Think about it in terms of your search engines. 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:18.960 You know, there's other search engines available that you can use, but really predominantly Google won that war a long time ago. 00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.320 Artificial intelligence is very much in the same vein. 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:28.880 And what I think is happening here is a calculated move by President uh Donald Trump to try to differentiate between what the U.S. 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.119 is doing and what the rest of the world is doing. 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.679 I have a couple of clips to uh share with you from uh President Donald Trump. 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:47.119 Uh first off, at a recent uh event, uh Trump was talking about retiring the term fake news and replacing it with artificial news, kind of keeping in theme with what we're talking about here. 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:58.000 But here's uh President Donald Trump talking about artificial and fake news, and then we'll get into comments made yesterday regarding superintelligence and the executive order outside of the White House. 00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:04.480 It's supreme also intelligence, but the word super is the best word of all, and it's the simplest. 00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:11.440 And so we're gonna be naming it SI, superintelligence, but we don't want to hear artificial because it's not artificial. 00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:18.159 It's very powerful, it's very brilliant, it's gonna mostly be put to great use, and we'll stop the bad use. 00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:23.920 But uh we're changing the name to superintelligence. 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.679 And so far, I mean, everybody likes it. 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.199 Artificial intelligence is like the news. 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:32.639 Fake news. 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.960 The word artificial. 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.119 In fact, I could call them artificial. 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.440 I think I found a new name. 00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:42.159 I just thought I'm gonna call them forget about fake. 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.880 Fake news is one of my great terms. 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.079 Now I'm gonna call them artificial news. 00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:48.800 I think it's good. 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.960 I like that. 00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:53.360 The the artificial news. 00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.800 No, there's

there's some look at all those press. 00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.440 There's some back there that are fabulous, like about two. 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:09.280 I can see to you know, I've uh I've said uh in in the past that uh President Donald Trump, he's a lot like a talk show host. 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.920 I think that's what drives the leftists nuts and the Trump derangement syndrome sufferers. 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:14.800 Is that he is. 00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.440 He's a lot like a he's a lot like a talk show host. 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.480 There's a lot of generalizing talk show hosts do that, I do that. 00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:32.239 But in that moment there, I just found the uh the pure inspiration taking place in that moment during the speech uh to also be uh very uh talk show host uh ex. 00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.719 Who should be held accountable when the AI and agents put me in a client like that? 00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:38.800 That's the other thing. 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:41.760 We've changed the name officially today. 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.679 We've changed the name Steve officially to SI. 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:46.800 Okay. 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:05.760 But the name has been officially changed by the biggest, the smartest, the greatest people anywhere in the world at this. 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.039 And I was with President T a few days ago, and he would admit it. 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:18.960 He said these are the smartest people in the world at what they do, and it's a big, it's a big thing, but it's been officially changed to superintelligence or SI. 00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:39.599 During the White House roundtable with the tech executives that I mentioned a moment ago, Trump, who has opposed informing formal, uh has imposed form excuse me, has opposed imposing formal guardrails on superintelligence, said participants signed the document at the conclusion of the gathering. 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:47.840 Trump added that the document, dubbed the White House Accord on Superintelligence, is morally binding for the executives who signed it. 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:50.960 They almost viewed it as a separate kind of constitution. 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:56.559 When they signed it, it meant a lot, said Trump of these tech leaders. 00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:09.440 Now, after Tuesday's White House summit, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the participants focused on striking the right balance between the interests of the American people, advancing technology, and maintaining the United States competitive edge over China. 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:17.199 This is a statement of principles that you'll see, a statement of standards, commitments that are voluntary on behalf of the industry. 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.840 It sets forth expectations, Johnson said. 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:26.079 In short, summary, robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review. 00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:32.239 Tuesday evening, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X that he viewed the summit as a positive step. 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:42.480 I think it is a significant positive step that the leaders of every major American lab have committed to implementing robust internal controls and multiple layers of audits and reviews. 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:48.000 This should give people more confidence that the technology each lab is building will work as intended. 00:38:48.239 --> 00:39:00.639 You know, one of the ways that I think this is going to upend and just change how people do things as it becomes adopted by more and more individuals, it goes back to what I mentioned a moment ago, and that is the war over the search engines that I was talking about. 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:14.400 When it comes to Google being the dominant search engine over Bing or browsers like DuckDuckGo if you're looking for uh anonymity and don't want to use uh cognito mode when it comes to whatever uh internet search engine you're using. 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:17.440 But artificial intelligence like replaces all of that. 00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:29.760 From the time that I've spent using it in the past week, um, I just go now to Chat GPT on my phone and talk directly with the artificial intelligence to get the information that I'm looking for on the fly. 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.960 I used to do this, I mean, I do this throughout my prep every single day. 00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:36.800 I'm going online, I go to Google, I'm looking up, I'm doing research on things. 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:43.599 Now the artificial intelligence does it for me when I ask it, what I would typically go and type into the search engine. 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.360 And then it ends up providing even further information. 00:39:47.599 --> 00:40:07.920 And on top of that, because the artificial intelligence is completely aware of my background as a talk show host and my intention in terms of trying to go and get at this information, it's able to go and frame it in such a way to go and suit exactly the reason why I'm asking the question as opposed to just giving me an answer to the question. 00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:22.159 And I'm gonna guess that as more people go and adopt this, this is going to happen over and over and over again for everybody's specific needs, regardless of what industry or job that they happen to hold. 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:37.679 Have a great day. 00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:41.119 I see what he I see what he what he did there. 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.239 He's talking about sports illustrated. 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:50.400 How very 90s jokey of you that was a thing I remember. 00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:56.800 Maxim kind of cleared the kind of shoved Sports Illustrated off to the side. 00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:13.920 Like Sports Illustrated, I know Devin's gonna be completely out of the loop on this, but you know, Sports Illustrated and the swimsuit edition was your your go-to as a young lad for beautiful, you know, scantily clad

my gosh, they're out of control. 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:45.199 No. 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:53.519 There was camera footage that ended up uh showing that this individual was fleeing from law enforcement and refused to cooperate. 00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.920 Funny how that happens over and over and over again. 00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.079 Uh, by the way, our other lawyer friend, uh James Dickey, is here to correct me. 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:03.760 Hey, John, it's James Dickey. 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:08.159 Cerserari, but pretty much everyone pronounces it wrong, so it don't feel bad. 00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:12.079 And when you see that word, it's another silly Latin word that lawyers use. 00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:18.639 You can just say cert because everyone calls it cert anyway, except when they're writing out it writing it out in long form like that. 00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:19.599 Have a good day. 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:20.159 All right. 00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:21.199 So it's cert. 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:22.480 That makes more sense. 00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:23.760 That I'm familiar with. 00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:25.440 I don't feel thank you, James. 00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:26.400 I greatly appreciate it. 00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:28.320 I don't feel bad when I misspell things. 00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.280 I I would just feel bad or mispronounce. 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:33.840 I would just feel bad all the time, but that was the case. 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:42.159 So Garcia's Pere uh Garcia Perez gave officers his driver's license, which they used to verify his identity. 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:50.480 The court documents alleged the officers asked Perez to put his car in park and to exit the vehicle, but then he ignored the officers' orders, allegedly. 00:46:50.639 --> 00:47:01.519 After about a minute of conversation in Spanish, Garcia Perez abruptly closed the window and then drove off, striking the officer on the torso with the driver's side view mirror, according to the Justice Department. 00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:07.760 The complaint confirms that the officer who shot Garcia Perez did not have a body camera. 00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:13.119 Garcia Perez led officers, as I mentioned, on a high-speed vehicle chase, according to the court documents. 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:18.159 And during that chase, one officer lost sight of his partner and Garcia Perez. 00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:25.199 Minutes later, the partner called and said that Perez had tried to hit him with his car and that he had fired his pistol according to the complaint. 00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:33.760 Now, following the shooting, the ICE uh anti-ICE protesters, of course, took to the streets of Austin, decrying the incident as an unprovoked attack. 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.360 And all the narratives formed regarding this. 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:53.039 And this was used in story after story, post after post, as another example doing that thing with my fingers of how ICE is out of control, a dangerous Gustavo organization like Governor Dimwalls talks about. 00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:53.840 Nope. 00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.440 It's another further example of what we've talked about so often on the show. 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:19.280 And why that judge, as we reported yesterday, dismissed a handful of individuals' lawsuit against ICE over their perception that ICE, you know, basically brutalized them when they were the ones getting in the way of uh ICE and their operations during uh Operation uh Metro Surge. 00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:20.000 All right. 00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:29.039 Uh let's go back to uh the blaster line this morning, uh 651-964-0294, and we'll hear from a friend of the show, Jeff. 00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:30.719 Hi, Jeff. 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.880 From still, John Rachel. 00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.400 Can we just cut to the cheese, get to the point?

you updated on one quick story and then uh we'll take a short break. 01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:46.960 I'm gonna thank some of the amazing sponsors of the show and I'm going to uh see if I can't get Eric Pratt we have him scheduled for the show Congressman Eric Pratt so we're gonna see if we can't get him uh on the line before I do that though um this is a very serious story we have an update and unfortunately the speculation that we shared here on the John Justice show presented by American Experiment turned out to be correct and it was the worst case scenario. 01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:57.439 Piao Yang 41 arrested and charged with kidnapping sexual assault and other felonies after allegedly abducting a woman at gunpoint in Roseville, Minnesota. 01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:06.960 Now we have the preliminary details on Freedom Friday of last week and it was it was missing a lot of the context here. 01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:17.840 The woman was held captive for a while uh there was reports that she was assaulted we didn't know the details and we speculated the worst and it turns out that our speculation was correct. 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:22.479 Uh the victim was held captive for approximately eight hours before being released in St. 01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:27.039 Paul Yang was identified through evidence from a target store and arrested in St. 01:09:27.199 --> 01:09:30.479 Paul with assistance from the Ramsey County Sheriff. 01:09:30.960 --> 01:10:11.039 I want to play for you some of the uh Roseville police department uh providing an update and specifically how they used the target surveillance to help detectives unravel uh the mystery of who conducted this heinous uh kidnapping the suspect blindfolded her covered her mouth and then forced her into a vehicle she was held captive for the next eight hours police say the masked and armed suspect took her into the woods and tied her up dumped her car somewhere else then came back in his own SUV he took her away to some kind of warehouse where he sexually assaulted her and made her shower and put on a brand new dress. 01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:16.319 He threatened her life more than once but eventually dumped her near failing golf course in St. 01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:25.359 Paul bystanders rounded up the police after she walked to a nearby holiday and detectives got right to work tracking down a man the victim never really saw. 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:42.960 A camera at the woman's workplace was tampered with the police got their best clue when she identified the dress he made her wear it came from Target and the company found surveillance video of a man walking out of the blane store after buying it. 01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:59.119 The victim's co-workers identified that man as a cleaner named Pao who worked there some nights detectives found license plate reader data showing Pao Yang's SUV driving towards his home early Thursday morning and phone records showed he was in the area of the kidnapping and rape. 01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:05.359 Police later found evidence that his dice home including zip ties, a mask and firearms. 01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:25.039 They arrested him Friday and they're now looking into whether he committed more crimes at the other four businesses where he cleaned by 29 years you just don't see many cases like this where somebody is just presumably going about their day and suddenly they're a victim of just a horrendous um horrendous crime and so it is really rare. 01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:50.479 It's really disturbing made his first court appearance this morning on six felony charges that could lead to dozens of years in prison if he's convicted a judge set his bail at two and a half million dollars scary times indeed and thankfully this individual is uh off the uh streets and prayers go out to the woman uh who had to endure this incredibly traumatic experience. 01:11:50.640 --> 01:12:24.880 All right coming up why did Misabi Metallics choose Iowa instead of Minnesota I spent quite a bit of time uh digging into this and I'm gonna provide some insight and information you have not heard uh anywhere else yet also we're hoping to talk with uh Congressman Eric Pratt to get his thoughts on uh this Minnesota based company headquartered in India but the ore will be mined here in Minnesota why Iowa ended up getting this steel plant instead of us. 01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:28.479 We have great details to share with you uh coming up on the show. 01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:36.479 Also I want to remind you that if your closet is full

01:21:52.720 --> 01:22:01.760 What sort of solutions would you like to see implemented to deal with this fraud whether it's here in Minnesota or the fraud that we've seen you know nationwide? 01:22:02.880 --> 01:23:12.560 So I uh you know I led fraud teams for uh uh two different companies um and you know it sounds pretty intuitive but you can't find fraud unless you actually look for it and uh and so what I've been proposing is look the the nine billion dollars we've seen in fraud absolutely falls on the laps of Tim Walls and Keith Ellison they were asleep at the wheel um and what we've seen from the Star Tribune reporting uh shockingly is that uh they just for the most part ignored it but the question that came up to me when I when I first saw this was who at the federal government was looking out for this and is there a function that's actually looking for fraud before it reaches nine billion dollars we've got lots of different agencies but um you know I would like to have uh uh a function within Congress that's actually looking at fraud waste and abuse asking the questions why are Minnesota's expenses going up 200% year over year and let's take a look at that and then making sure that Congress is actually writing the laws and setting the guidelines uh within the legislation so that uh states have to follow it. 01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:18.720 Let's turn our attention over to uh the big story that Trump made the announcement on earlier this week. 01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:37.039 On Monday this new um$15 billion steel plant will be coming the Lee County Iowa the announcement uh poses an important question why Iowa so I'm gonna get into the details of this and it turns out there actually is some economic benefit that we will be receiving because of this. 01:23:37.199 --> 01:27:16.239 What I find interesting uh Eric Pratt uh again congressional candidate is the fact that there's been no DFL leadership talking about the potential handful of billions of dollars that we'll receive and it has to be in my mind because they don't want to bring attention to the fact that uh Misabi Metallics chose Iowa to actually build their steel facility over Minnesota but what do you think was the driving factor as to why they didn't choose Minnesota to build this steel uh facility you know I worked I worked in the in you know I chaired the Senate jobs committee for four years and you know we worked really hard to attract investment in jobs to the state of Minnesota and with the trifecta we put so many rules in place uh so many barriers in place that it's it's hard for somebody like Wasabi to come in and make those investments um we as you mentioned we are going to have a mine it's gonna employ 300 full-time jobs in the state of Minnesota um but the the big part of this was the processing they could have just moved the tack and about a half a mile down the road uh and made feel and that would have been an additional 700 1700 uh full-time jobs that could have been in the state of Minnesota that are now going to Iowa um there would have been 17 billion dollars of investment in the state and we let it leave or we've we've left 17 billion dollars in investment leave I should say um and so if if everything that we we've said would happen uh when the trifecta took place um our permitting doesn't allow these projects to move forward in a timely manner uh we we have way too much bureaucracy and when you add in um the taxes and the workforce regulations that we have it makes other states more uh more attractive you know what can what should we do in the future I mean I obviously we should be doing more to go and entice these you know major you know companies uh to invest here in Minnesota is there anything that can be done in the short term or is

this something that we have to be looking more at long term provided that we get you know leadership that's going to be more pro-business than what we've seen certainly during the DFL trifecta here in Minnesota you know it's gonna take some changes by the legislature i i tried to work on permitting reform we had a bipartisan bill come in place uh come through and it got whittled down so bad got whittled down so bad that it it had virtually no impact uh tim wall said he was gonna do permitting reform never touched it never touched it um remember his first uh his first year in office he was gonna have regulatory humility and what have we done we've passed earn sick and save time paid family medical leave all these programs that are causing it to be more expensive to create a job in Minnesota than other states let's turn our attention over uh back over to uh your campaign uh the issue of affordability was high as well on our Thinking Minnesota poll uh that will be released here in the coming weeks that we've been sharing some of that exclusive uh information on what are your what's your messaging to voters that are concerned about not just the economy but the impact on their bottom line when it comes to the gas prices, when it comes to the price of groceries or you know diesel you think you had Greg Abbott declared his own state of emergency over the diesel prices that's more influenced by Russia and Ukraine than Iran. 01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:22.239 But what message are you giving to the voters that are concerned about affordability heading into this election? 01:27:23.119 --> 01:27:32.560 You know uh families are working harder and doing everything right and they deserve a government that makes life more affordable not more expensive for them. 01:27:34.239 --> 01:27:42.880 I remind you I'm reminding voters that it was the the Democrats that spent the$18 billion surplus and they got virtually nothing for it. 01:27:43.520 --> 01:27:49.039 I'm reminding them that while they were spending the$18 billion deficit they retaxed the$10 billion. 01:27:49.920 --> 01:28:39.359 And while they like to run around and say that you know we're uh they're taxing the risk, they increased the sales tax, they increased the payroll tax they they created the new delivery um they they increase the gas tax they increase uh tab fees uh when they when they say they're taxing the rich they mean they're taxing you and that's starting to connect with people uh housing continues to be one that um you know we're we're seeing uh people buying their first house later and later in life and and looking to remove some of the federal permits and I think quite honestly uh even uh our own met council me I've worked uh for years trying to reform our own Met Council so that we're building the houses that people want not the houses that Governor Wall's appointees want us to have. 01:28:39.680 --> 01:29:07.920 Boy you know what it's funny when whenever I hear somebody bring up uh the the the Met Council um you know it's really lucky for them they've been flying under the radar as of late we haven't talked much about the Met Council but there needs to be a lot more focus on the Met hu on the on the Met Council just as a sidebar uh Eric uh Eric Pratt uh it should be it should be more a topic of conversation it hasn't been as of late because of everything that's been going on but the Met Council does not get enough grief in my opinion. 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:13.119 That's my commentary by the way Eric Pratt I just wanted to throw that in there so I didn't know if you had anything to add. 01:29:13.600 --> 01:30:44.560 We could take up two or three shows on that one I think uh listen Eric Pratt thank you for the time this morning uh eric pratttmn uh.com before I let you go today is there anything else uh that you would like to uh say to the uh to to the listener uh ahead of the ahead of the elections here in a few weeks yeah uh the you know the campaign's going great uh we're picking up theme uh and and I would just encourage your listeners to go out and follow us on social media we're uh ericcradmn.com on Facebook uh X Insta uh TikTok um we've got the same the same moniker out there uh go to the website ericcratmn.com uh sign up for a yard sign sign up to door knock uh we could use all the help we can get even make a donation um uh we're really working hard to get out talk to voters and and let them know that there's a real choice this time in the second district um with this being an open seat it changes the uh it changes the dynamic uh completely and uh I'm excited uh and I hope uh people will come join us well let's be sure uh to talk again uh before uh people actually head directly to the polls to vote none of this early voting uh nonsense although make sure you do go and vote regardless if it's early or on election day but uh Eric Pratt and again uh the website uh for the congressional candidate Eric Pratt that's two teesmn.com uh thank you for coming on again apologies for the technical issues uh but I appreciate the short notice and I look forward to the next time you and I have a chance to uh talk. 01:30:44.880 --> 01:30:46.159 Thanks, John Lindy. 01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:48.960 All right let me share this with you. 01:30:49.119 --> 01:30:50.720 I want to get into the mining issue. 01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:58.000 I have some fantastic commentary from friend of the show and uh champion and fighting for Minneapolis Becca Thompson that I want to share. 01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:02.800 First off let me go here just briefly since we're talking about the elections and candidates. 01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:12.000 Alpha News has a piece out uh today and it is Senate rematch in Northern Minnesota Pitts Republican mayor against DFL incumbent. 01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:22.960 Minnesota Senate is on the ballot for the first time since Democrats had a trifecta in state government controlling the governorship, the Senate and the Minnesota House of

Representatives from 2023 to 24. 01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:23.439 Okay. 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:31.439 One of the DFLers who was a part of the legislative session was Senator Grant Hoschild representing Senate District 3. 01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:39.760 Back in 2022 Hoschild won his first term in the Senate when he beat um a Republican by less than two points. 01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:50.720 Now that Republican Andrea uh Zuppinch I'm probably saying that wrong I got to get that one right uh Zupin uh Zuppin's uh by less than two points. 01:31:50.800 --> 01:31:58.960 Now Zupensinch is the mayor of Babbitt and is running against Hoschild again and the race could be even closer than last time. 01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:07.039 Currently the Senate has a one vote DFL majority and a change in just that one seat would hand the chamber to Republicans. 01:32:07.199 --> 01:32:14.479 Hoschild is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate two years ago his district was won by President Donald Trump. 01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:16.000 So why do I bring this up? 01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:25.119 I bring this up because a rather interesting um narrative has emerged from Grant Hoschild that people have uh discovered. 01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:27.039 So you know data centers are a big deal. 01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:33.520 We were talking about President Donald Trump he's renaming artificial intelligence via an executive order to superintelligence. 01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:44.560 I was a little bit hesitant to hop on board with that but I think that what the president is doing is trying to differentiate as we enter into the artificial intelligence wars with the other countries. 01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:53.520 He wants to differentiate what we're doing here in the U.S among our tech giants of SpaceX, Elon Musk, meta, uhanthropic you name it. 01:32:53.680 --> 01:32:55.199 He wants to differentiate the U.S. 01:32:55.520 --> 01:33:01.279 from our adversaries as we wage this uh artificial intelligence war. 01:33:02.159 --> 01:33:04.640 Data centers are a big portion of this. 01:33:04.960 --> 01:33:09.119 Huge, huge controversy crosses party lines. 01:33:09.279 --> 01:33:11.279 It's being exploited by our adversaries. 01:33:11.439 --> 01:33:26.880 There are those in other countries like China that are pushing ridiculous narratives online, false social media posts, videos all to sow division between Republicans and Democrats here in the United States. 01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:34.800 It's not just China by the way as a side note there was a story this morning the leaders in Iran are urging American voters to vote against Trump. 01:33:35.039 --> 01:33:59.199 You know the sad part is you're gonna have the broken and the brainwashed leftists that'll actually go and say that's a good thing, that the murderous regime leadership in Iran is encouraging individuals to vote against Trump but yet this is where we this is where we are be that as it may, data centers, incredibly controversial I'm

in support of data centers as long as they're in a location that's advantageous for it. 01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:11.279 A place where it's not going and impacting a quality of life and can provide the opportunity to bring in jobs right and income and revenue to particular areas and small towns across the country. 01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:19.840 Well there's a potential of a data center that could go up in the district where Grant Hoschild is in this battle with the mayor from Babbitt. 01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:21.920 Something really interesting has happened though. 01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:36.319 Grant Hoschild is running ads talking about his concerns over data centers and it runs headlong into the commentary that he's given on the floor during the most recent legislative session. 01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:40.560 So what you're gonna hear is about 90 seconds and it goes back and forth. 01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:47.119 It's Grant Hoschild on the floor during a floor session in the Minnesota State Legislature in St. 01:34:47.359 --> 01:34:55.600 Paul juxtaposed next to clips of recent Grant Hoschild campaign ads that are running right now. 01:34:55.840 --> 01:35:04.239 They contradict each other it's the height of hypocrisy one of these data centers is the size of U.S. 01:35:04.399 --> 01:35:10.640 Bank Stadium larger than the bonding bill that we will pass later today. 01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:12.000 Think about that. 01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:16.640 I'm Grant Hoschild and we thought we'd show you what can happen with data centers. 01:35:16.960 --> 01:36:01.520 Think about the economic impact that these data centers bring to Minnesota first they're really big one building can be 40 acres that's thousands of construction jobs hundreds of long-term jobs for each one of these data centers they can be noisy that's not even mentioning the local community benefits that come from the local sales the the local uh sales tax and benefits that local communities get from these data centers use up a lot of water and a lot of electricity transformative when you consider the school districts and local city benefits that they will get from these data centers. 01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:26.720 That's 20 billion with a B dollars in data centers in their state we should want that here in Minnesota. 01:36:27.439 --> 01:36:55.520 I don't work for big tech I work for you know it's like you know it's like some Democrats don't actually stand by or for anything it's almost as if they just simply shift with the political winds it's a it's it's almost like that it's amazing. 01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:21.039 Zuponsic Zuponcich thank you Lou much much appreciated Zuponsic who's unfamiliar with the Republican mayor out of Babbitt Andrea Zuponsich so with the AI fear stoking by foreign parties what we need to do is call AI hate racism. 01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:26.560 That way we won't be able to do it anymore. 01:37:26.800 --> 01:37:54.159 We can't hate AI and I use on our greatest strength which is our

freedom against us all I know is that I am incredibly incredibly uh kind to my AI I just want to say that I tell him thank you I say good morning he's very kind back I just want to say that oh my gosh could it be could it possibly be John good morning this is Dom from Maple Grove. 01:37:54.319 --> 01:38:16.000 Dom from Maple I just discovered your new role with the Center for American Experiment This is incredible I feel like I've come full circle now everybody keeps asking about Tom too I don't know where Tom went actually I had a Brandon friend of the show had left a uh a blast early this morning uh for those that aren't familiar boy I think Dom supersedes Devin are you familiar with Dom Devin? 01:38:16.159 --> 01:38:17.680 Does that ring a bell at all? 01:38:18.079 --> 01:38:19.680 I think he does supersede me. 01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:22.800 Yeah I don't think we haven't heard from Dom in forever. 01:38:22.880 --> 01:38:25.680 Dom it's great to hear from you and I'll go ahead and play your comments now. 01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:28.960 John good morning this is Dom from Maple Grove. 01:38:29.199 --> 01:38:51.359 I just discovered your new role with the Center for American Experiment uh we had uh John Hinderaker as a guest speaker at our Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday which is yesterday he was referring to the good work they're doing in Minnesota and he happened to mention you as the guy shining the light on the fraud in Minnesota. 01:38:51.760 --> 01:39:01.760 One of the people in the audience immediately raised his hand and said oh John Justice the right winger I would take that news I would not take that news very seriously. 01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:04.399 Just an FYI if you want to hear it. 01:39:04.720 --> 01:41:00.800 Dom it's uh fantastic to hear from you I'm glad you uh I'm glad you found the show people are still uh figuring out uh where I have uh landed after my unceremonious uh departure from the previous job so it is fantastic to hear from you and I know that I'm not just speaking for myself but I'm speaking for a lot of friends uh of the uh of the show I hope you'll continue to participate remember that number is 651-964-0294 hey John Kevin from Oneamia hey I was just up at a data center building in North Dakota it's in a perfect spot straight up it's outside of uh any major town it's uh out in the middle of nowhere right in the middle of the field it is employing eighteen hundred people currently and growing every day in their working well paid jobs people from all over the country are working there I mean it's a huge boom for North Dakota thank you for the comment on the uh blaster line uh let's go here hi John I just wanted to share with you that someone hopefully will who has money to do this will create a commercial with what you just just opposed thing um sorry uh to turn that into a quicker commercial that can be used uh um for his uh for aircraft anyway I thought that was really interesting thank you good morning Devin and John this individual who's over there going wishy washy how did wait how did you get taught building when did that happen? 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:02.399 What's going on Scott? 01:41:02.640 --> 01:41:06.319 It's because I haven't been doing the ScottCon levels huh that's what it is. 01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:10.239 Are you angling for my gig? 01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:11.359 Am I unaware of this? 01:41:11.600 --> 01:41:27.840 I don't think you have the time Devin and John this individual who's over there going wishy washy about data centers is not just something that is to the left of center in the political aisle. 01:41:28.239 --> 01:41:41.920 Politicians in general have a propensity to do that and that's why they some of them at least stick to my stomach because they're not of conviction they're about finger in the wind how can I get elected so I can become important over being useful. 01:41:42.239 --> 01:42:15.600 As the data centers themselves I'm not a big fan of them I understand they're needed but what we all need to realize is as we pull towards this AI being an integral part of our lives it's going to eliminate a lot of people's jobs and when it becomes your job there may be some disdain for the fact that you supported it early on I think people are important to stay in people jobs and not like computers take over every aspect of our lives so Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't walk in and say where is Sarah Connors? 01:42:16.239 --> 01:42:41.680 Look I um I I understand the sentiment but at the same time technology isn't slowing down and throughout history humanity has had to adjust to emerging technology and you know find new avenues in which to you know find jobs in businesses. 01:42:41.840 --> 01:42:48.159 I I I get the concern over artificial intelligence but it's here it's not going anywhere. 01:42:48.560 --> 01:43:03.600 You're not putting the genie back in the bottle and hopefully there'll be enough new jobs that will occur and individuals going into fields that will be utilizing AI that they'll be able to make transitions. 01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:12.399 I listen the the very existence of the John Justice show presented by American Experiment is the example that I'm referring to. 01:43:12.640 --> 01:43:21.840 Now I'm incredibly blessed that John Hendrocker in American Experiment saw the vision that I had for a post-terrestrial radio John Justice show. 01:43:21.920 --> 01:43:29.199 I had this vision for a long time because I saw the writing on the wall terrestrial radio isn't a race for the bottom. 01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:48.479 I continue to see evidence of this daily including some recent news that I won't get get into right now of some sports teams that are leaving particular radio companies and going to other companies which cannot be a good thing for the radio companies that that have them there's a race to the bottom that's taking place. 01:43:48.640 --> 01:44:01.600 I made the transition you know and again I'm incredibly blessed that people

saw the vision that I had and believe that I you know am producing a a product that ends up fitting with the goals that they have here at American Experiment. 01:44:01.840 --> 01:44:06.239 Not all talk show hosts are as uh blessed as I am to have that happen. 01:44:06.319 --> 01:44:10.640 But I had to go and make an make an adjustment AI is not going and it's not going anywhere. 01:44:10.880 --> 01:44:24.960 Look at what's happening and we're going to talk about this next hour because I want to get to this uh this more of the Misabi Metallics plant because there's a lot of devil in the details that need to be shared and the same thing rings true when we talk about Keith Ellison and his fraud charges yesterday. 01:44:25.119 --> 01:44:29.199 So we still have a couple of major stories that we need to get to today. 01:44:29.439 --> 01:44:37.680 One of them is going to be an update on the Minneapolis city council essentially banning autonomous vehicles in Minneapolis. 01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:56.880 It's all to go and super serve a group of their ardent supporters but it's completely anti the people of Minneapolis anti-business and anti-safety because autonomous vehicles can remove an element of individuals being assaulted in ride share. 01:44:57.439 --> 01:45:03.119 By the way I have a clip that I'm gonna have to spend some time on because I'm gonna make a song out of this it's spectacular. 01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:10.079 You know and then you can use the Waymo you don't know which way they may go or may not go just get in, okay? 01:45:10.239 --> 01:45:27.760 There's way more ways than the way that you got so let's go with those ways the end you know and then you can use the Waymo you don't know which way they may go or may not go just get in, okay? 01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:43.199 There's way more ways than the way that you got so let's go with those ways the end That's a Minneapolis City Council member Pearl Warren you know you can use the Waymo you don't know which way they may go or may not go. 01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:44.319 Just get in. 01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:50.079 You know and then you can use the Waymo you don't know which way they may go or may not go. 01:45:50.159 --> 01:45:51.520 Just get in, okay?

groups that would have aligned against it. 01:51:55.920 --> 01:52:11.600 And with Governor Dim Walls not running for re-election and uh Amy Klobishar being anointed as the uh DFL nominee and then becoming the DFL nominee, it was probably something that they didn't want to have bogged down her campaign and she didn't need to take a stance on it. 01:52:11.840 --> 01:52:32.560 I hope that there is a media outlet that uh Amy Klobuchar would be so gracious to bestow her opinion upon that would go and ask her the question of whether or not she would have supported incentivizing Misabi Metallics to come here to Minnesota other than Iowa. 01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:38.560 Seemed to be a pretty compelling question considering we lost some$15 to$18 billion or$15 billion. 01:52:39.119 --> 01:52:42.399 Now we are going to get some money from this, and I'll get to this in just a second. 01:52:42.640 --> 01:52:51.199 Uh Brooking, the CEO of Misabi, has argued that a project intended to modernize and decarbonize steel making needs an efficient environmental permitting process. 01:52:51.359 --> 01:52:58.079 MPR reported that Misabi wanted a faster state-level per permitting process for downstream facility. 01:52:58.239 --> 01:53:00.079 Were we not able to go and offer that? 01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:05.039 Or was that a bridge too far for uh Governor Dim Walls and his administration? 01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:14.319 In fact, after the Iowa investment, right, Misabi has not said that Minnesota officials simply refuse to let them build the steel mule. 01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:25.039 No, after the Iowa announcement, the company specifically said that it did appreciate the support of Governor Walls and the work of the Minnesota DNR and MPCA on the mine. 01:53:25.279 --> 01:53:26.479 Well, of course they did. 01:53:26.640 --> 01:53:30.079 They're going to be mining the ore here in Minnesota. 01:53:30.239 --> 01:53:33.840 They need to keep a friendly relationship with the current government. 01:53:34.159 --> 01:53:52.239 Be that as it may, this is still an incredible slap in the face to Minnesota for choosing Iowa to build the steel plant while mining the ore here and having to deal with the transportation of that ore and the materials necessary to conduct the mining operation. 01:53:53.439 --> 01:53:58.880 Again, the company is going to mine the ore in Minnesota and then ship it to Iowa for steelmaking. 01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:07.600 If you're building a steel a steel mill that depends on Minnesota iron ore, why not just build the mill next to the mine? 01:54:07.840 --> 01:54:09.920 And that's what most people are arguing right now. 01:54:10.079 --> 01:54:13.600 And as I just mentioned, it's because Iowa gave incentives. 01:54:13.760 --> 01:54:15.760 Did we even give any incentives? 01:54:16.800 --> 01:54:24.239 It makes it very curious, again, why Governor Dimwalls didn't bother to make any commentary about this. 01:54:25.359 --> 01:54:27.680 You had some of those on the right that did. 01:54:27.840 --> 01:54:37.359 Representative Spencer Igo called the Iowa decision a gut punch, arguing that Minnesota shouldn't watch billions in investment and thousands of jobs leave the state. 01:54:37.600 --> 01:54:48.079 Representative Pete Stauber went considerably further, blaming Minnesota state leadership for losing the project, contrasting Minnesota's policies with Iowa's business environment. 01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:51.279 So at the end of the day, what happens? 01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:55.520 Minnesota has all the ore, but Iowa gets all the manufacturing jobs. 01:54:56.479 --> 01:54:59.279 Certainly would have been beneficial here in Minnesota. 01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:09.199 You know, and when you look at the wrong track Minnesota list and how we're below average economically, you can point directly to this. 01:55:09.279 --> 01:55:12.960 This would have gone a long way to go and and help. 01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:14.479 I don't know. 01:55:14.720 --> 01:55:16.399 The uh steel mill in Iowa. 01:55:17.119 --> 01:55:19.199 We say it the same way, I say steel mill. 01:55:19.760 --> 01:55:24.319 Um sounds like a case of FAFO classic. 01:55:24.800 --> 01:55:35.199 No business leader would choose to build a billion dollar home in a state where any other day you could have protesters at your front gate and all of a sudden the populace turns against you. 01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:36.479 I would be what they're saying. 01:55:36.640 --> 01:55:39.760 Yeah, but you know, but strong leadership would have countered that. 01:55:40.079 --> 01:55:51.039 Strong leadership defending the mill and the construction of the mill, good leadership would stand up and ignore any protestations from individuals. 01:55:52.239 --> 01:56:05.520 A lot of people are lying, are saying a lot of experts within the transportation industry are saying that the location for Iowa makes no sense, which again further reinforces the idea of the incentives that Iowa offered over Minnesota. 01:56:05.920 --> 01:56:13.920 They question the economics of shipping millions of tons of Minnesota ore to Iowa rather than, again, putting the mill near the Great Lakes. 01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:31.760 And when you look at the transportation costs, you've got Lake Freighter, and then you have Mississippi Barge becomes more expensive, rail becomes even more expensive, and then trucking is even more expensive than that. 01:56:31.840 --> 01:56:39.680 It would have been exponentially cheaper for Misabi Metallics to go and build the steel mill here in Minnesota. 01:56:39.840 --> 01:56:45.119 But again, doing the cost analysis, the incentives from Iowa were certainly a lot stronger. 01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:47.359 There is a piece of property over in St. 01:56:47.520 --> 01:56:59.840 Paul that was in the electric art furnace steel mill right off the river with plenty of water access, electrical access on the CP Railroad that is mothballed. 01:57:00.159 --> 01:57:06.000 Why in the world couldn't they use

that spot to develop it for the steel mill? 01:57:06.479 --> 01:57:10.720 I hope somebody from the state gets that question asked of them. 01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:23.439 You know, it's interesting too because there's a lot of individuals online that are commenting that and making the argument that Trump deliberately wanted the announcement in Iowa because Iowa is politically important to the 2026 elections. 01:57:23.600 --> 01:57:25.199 And that might be the case. 01:57:25.359 --> 01:57:26.880 This is a massive investment. 01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:29.840 It's great for the country, obviously great for Iowa. 01:57:30.640 --> 01:57:33.920 It makes sense that President Donald Trump would take advantage of it. 01:57:34.159 --> 01:57:41.359 Be that as it may, Misabi Metallics, no, they on their own went and chose Iowa. 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:46.000 That wasn't a decision by President uh Donald Trump. 01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:50.640 The uh location makes some sense. 01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:55.119 I don't know how much steel they're gonna make, but if you look, a major user of U.S. 01:57:55.279 --> 01:58:00.640 steel caterpillar is right across the river in Peoria in Illinois. 01:58:00.880 --> 01:58:02.000 Same thing with John Deere. 01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:03.840 John Deere's in Illinois in Iowa. 01:58:04.319 --> 01:58:06.640 I think Casey Holland is all over the place too. 01:58:07.920 --> 01:58:28.560 Now here's the portion of it that has not gotten any attention, and the interesting piece of information that stuck out to me, and that is Minnesota is getting$2.5 to$3 billion in mine and pellet operation, while Iowa is getting the$15 billion in steelmaking operation. 01:58:30.640 --> 01:58:35.199 But this has not been talked about by anybody locally. 01:58:36.800 --> 01:58:36.960 Right? 01:58:37.199 --> 01:58:44.800 Misabi says the combined investment is$18 billion with the Minnesota and Iowa facilities forming one integrated American steel company. 01:58:45.039 --> 01:58:50.319 The company estimates more than 8,000 permanent and construction jobs combined. 01:58:50.399 --> 01:58:52.800 And some of those jobs will come here to Minnesota. 01:58:52.880 --> 01:59:00.399 Again, we'll be getting between$2.5 and$3 billion in mining operation money because of the steel mill in Iowa. 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:01.840 That is nothing. 01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:03.039 Right. 01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:06.399 That's nothing to to to not discuss. 01:59:07.680 --> 01:59:08.319 That's important. 01:59:08.479 --> 01:59:11.039 But why hasn't any DFL leadership come up and said that? 01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:22.560 Why did I why why did it take the goofy uh talk show host to go and present this information to you when I haven't seen this in any of the stories? 01:59:22.640 --> 01:59:23.520 I might have missed it. 01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:26.239 No, it's because it's incredibly telling. 01:59:27.039 --> 01:59:29.199 I imagine the DFL leadership is embarrassed. 01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:57.840

You could easily come out and say we're going to get almost three billion dollars in mining operation money here, which could benefit the people of Minnesota, including hundreds upon hundreds of jobs with the steel mill, and yet the DFL leadership has been absolutely silent on that fact because it's not enough to shake off the fact and to say faced that Minnesota lost out on a fantastic opportunity of$15 billion. 02:00:00.720 --> 02:00:05.760 The silence coming from Governor Jim Walls and the DFL leadership speaks volumes. 02:00:29.840 --> 02:00:37.199 We're running through the decision of why the Misabi Metallics chose Iowa over Minnesota. 02:00:37.359 --> 02:00:40.720 Minnesota wasn't offering incentives that Misabi wanted. 02:00:59.680 --> 02:01:15.199 And that's apparent in the information that I just provided to you that Minnesota will get between$2.5 and$3 billion in economic revenue from the building of the mill because the minerals will be mined in Minnesota, but then shipped to Iowa. 02:01:15.680 --> 02:01:32.479 And yet you see no DFLers, Governor Dimwalls or others, taking a victory lap over the jobs that will be created, new jobs and almost$3 billion worth of investment, because that would have to go and highlight the fact that we lost out on the$15 billion steel mill. 02:01:34.479 --> 02:01:40.880 Why are we willing to mine the resource here but not competitive uh enough to convince the company to process it here? 02:01:41.119 --> 02:02:02.319 Which would have been the argument if they were concerned about the activists within the DFL, the electoral consequences of Amy Klobishar having to address this issue, which may go and tick off a bunch of lobbying groups that give money to DFL campaigns. 02:02:05.359 --> 02:02:07.039 The argument is right there. 02:02:07.199 --> 02:02:09.199 Well, we're mining the ore here. 02:02:09.760 --> 02:02:13.039 They should also go and process it here. 02:02:13.600 --> 02:02:15.119 So we're already doing the mining. 02:02:15.279 --> 02:02:15.760 Nope. 02:02:16.720 --> 02:02:36.239 One can easily assume that that was simply a bridge too far for the DFL, and they decided just to remain silent because they all look like massive failures, and they failed the people of Minnesota in basically allowing$15 billion to go bye-bye on top of the boy. 02:02:36.319 --> 02:02:40.399 That would have gone a long way to taking care of the fraud of the$9 to$10 billion that we dealt with. 02:02:40.560 --> 02:02:42.479 Almost could have made it a wash. 02:02:42.560 --> 02:02:45.279 They could have used it as an argument for crying out loud. 02:02:45.439 --> 02:02:52.479 I know we had all the fraud guys, it was$9 billion, but we're going to get$15 billion of investment from this uh mining company. 02:02:52.560 --> 02:02:56.000 And that'll certainly go a long way to turning this economy back around. 02:02:56.079 --> 02:02:56.880 Nope. 02:02:58.239 --> 02:03:01.840 Too bad, so sad, people in uh Minnesota. 02:03:02.239 --> 02:03:05.520 All right, let's get back to some of your thoughts from the blaster line this morning. 02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:07.039 Good morning again, John. 02:03:07.199 --> 02:03:12.880 Uh with with respect to the to the mines uh and and manufacturing in Iowa. 02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:17.039 Your your statement around the DFL might be embarrassed. 02:03:17.520 --> 02:03:22.560 I don't necessarily know that they are, because to be embarrassed it means you have to care at least somewhat. 02:03:22.880 --> 02:03:26.720 I don't believe Tim Wall cares more than just an absentee governor. 02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:29.359 He I believe he hates the state right now. 02:03:29.520 --> 02:03:35.920 I think he feels he's betrayed, and I don't think he would consider doing anything that would be good for the state right now. 02:03:36.239 --> 02:03:41.920 Unless it was so obvious that that he has no choice. 02:03:42.159 --> 02:03:45.039 I don't think half the DFL out there really cares. 02:03:45.439 --> 02:03:54.479 They want power, and if you have a lot of people earning a good wage, they don't need the government as much as those that that aren't earning that wage, that need those updates. 02:03:54.880 --> 02:04:01.119 So I believe the DFL thinks it's their best interest to keep the community down and dependent. 02:04:01.760 --> 02:04:02.239 Sorry. 02:04:03.119 --> 02:04:04.159 Don't mean to be a pessimist. 02:04:04.479 --> 02:04:05.760 No, it's just the way it appears to be. 02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:07.439 No, man, be a pessimist. 02:04:07.680 --> 02:04:08.880 No, absolutely. 02:04:09.119 --> 02:04:12.479 I think there's some uh there's some value in your commentary, and I appreciate the comments. 02:04:12.640 --> 02:04:15.439 651-964-0294. 02:04:16.800 --> 02:04:22.079 You're you're right that they probably don't want to talk about it because they're embarrassed that most of the investments are for Iowa. 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:28.880 But you have to remember that they also probably don't want to talk about it because a lot of their base doesn't like mining, you know. 02:04:29.199 --> 02:04:29.520 Yeah. 02:04:29.760 --> 02:04:33.840 The Democrats used to be all about the blue collar, but now they're all about the tech roads. 02:04:34.479 --> 02:04:36.319 Yeah, it's that's an interesting point as well. 02:04:36.479 --> 02:04:37.199 Thank you. 02:04:37.600 --> 02:04:44.319 I want all the people that both Democrats that live in the Iron Range to take a good long hard look in the mirror. 02:04:44.640 --> 02:04:45.600 I am positive. 02:04:45.760 --> 02:04:58.000 I don't know the details, but I am positive that the Democrat, the left, walls, everyone put a roadblock with regulations, etc., to keep the steel mill out of Minnesota. 02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:11.760 But I told you the ballot box, people of the Iron Range, just think of what a boon that could have been to your economy and to your towns up there that have been struggling for decades since I was a kid. 02:05:12.880

--> 02:05:16.720 You get what you vote for, and we vote wrong at this state. 02:05:17.039 --> 02:05:24.239 And let let me let me add that this crosses, this is not a this shouldn't be a Republican-Democrat situation. 02:05:24.640 --> 02:05:31.359 If you're in that region, regardless of who you support, because there's a lot of crossover there, this impacts everybody. 02:05:31.439 --> 02:05:37.760 This is a loss for the entire state of Minnesota, regardless of Democrat or Republican. 02:05:37.920 --> 02:05:49.680 I hope that people of every single party and political assuasion would be on board with understanding how important this could have been for the economy here in uh Minnesota. 02:05:50.079 --> 02:05:51.199 Hey, good morning, John. 02:05:51.359 --> 02:05:55.680 With regards to the mining not happening in Minnesota, where the mining happened. 02:05:55.920 --> 02:05:58.880 Uh unfortunately, their comment got uh got uh cut off. 02:05:59.039 --> 02:06:02.319 Let's get to a few of uh your texts that have uh rolled in. 02:06:02.640 --> 02:06:06.479 Somebody wrote in, uh, ruining the economy is part of the communist playbook. 02:06:06.640 --> 02:06:09.840 They have to destroy the economy to turn people against the government. 02:06:10.000 --> 02:06:13.359 Uh they can push that government out and install themselves. 02:06:13.520 --> 02:06:14.880 Who took a dark turn. 02:06:15.199 --> 02:06:16.000 All right, let's go here. 02:06:16.159 --> 02:06:28.079 I grabbed this uh Becca Thompson, uh former uh Minneapolis uh park board member, candidate for the Minneapolis uh City Council, now fights to defend the city that she loves. 02:06:28.159 --> 02:06:34.880 Uh on her Becca Thompson show, she posted uh this up on social media talking about the steel mill. 02:06:35.119 --> 02:06:38.640 I wanted to share with you some of Becca's uh thoughts on the issue. 02:06:39.359 --> 02:06:40.960 Okay, hi, it's Becca. 02:06:41.279 --> 02:06:54.720 Let's talk about this announcement today that there's going to be building a steel mill in southern Iowa by a Minnesota company when the iron ore is in northern Minnesota. 02:06:54.880 --> 02:06:55.600 Let's talk about this. 02:06:55.920 --> 02:07:05.359 Once completed, Wasabi Metallics new steel plant will produce 10 million tons of steel per year using iron ore from the company's Minnesota and mine. 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:11.199 And Minnesota has, I will tell you, they maybe have a lousy governor, but they have great iron ore. 02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:17.680 The largest steel mill ever in the country is going to be built in Iowa. 02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:23.199 Why did Minnesota so look like let's just let's suss this out, okay? 02:07:23.520 --> 02:07:29.439 Because I am in what is called commonly the arrowhead all the time. 02:07:30.800 --> 02:07:31.119 Okay? 02:07:32.640 --> 02:07:34.560 Shout out Silver Bay. 02:07:35.279 --> 02:07:37.439 Um, love Silver Bay. 02:07:39.119 --> 02:07:40.399 Mining town. 02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:56.640 I have many times gone up to Silver Bay and talked with people there about what it is like on the North Shore in terms of economics, in terms of housing, in terms of all the things that people talk about down here, right? 02:07:59.439 --> 02:08:05.600 Things are not easy all over the place for massive big union jobs. 02:08:05.920 --> 02:08:08.720 Opening the mine up again is a big deal. 02:08:08.960 --> 02:08:11.279 You know what would have been even a bigger deal? 02:08:11.520 --> 02:08:15.119 Having the steel mill there as well in northern Minnesota. 02:08:15.680 --> 02:08:18.880 Let's just logistically suss this out, okay? 02:08:19.039 --> 02:08:26.159 You know how all of us we live somewhere, unless you're an entrepreneur who can make all your money living from your home office, right? 02:08:26.399 --> 02:08:29.039 You live somewhere and then you commute to work. 02:08:29.199 --> 02:08:31.039 And then you commute home. 02:08:31.279 --> 02:08:34.640 And we all kind of have a radius for what that looks like, right? 02:08:35.039 --> 02:08:39.119 Even if you do remote work, you still have a headquarters, right? 02:08:40.239 --> 02:08:42.079 We all understand that. 02:08:42.960 --> 02:08:46.079 Now let's add in the idea of like moving, okay? 02:08:46.239 --> 02:08:51.039 You've got like a moving van, or you've got to move things to your job, or you're just moving, moving. 02:08:51.199 --> 02:08:52.720 It's a hassle, right? 02:08:53.119 --> 02:08:58.800 You gotta load up the truck or your car or whatever, and you gotta drive it over somewhere, right? 02:08:59.119 --> 02:09:06.159 Even people who don't own cars typically have a moving truck when they move their stuff. 02:09:06.399 --> 02:09:07.039 Yeah? 02:09:08.239 --> 02:09:21.279 So the iron ore is going to be mined where the iron ore exists in northern Minnesota, the largest iron deposit in the world. 02:09:22.000 --> 02:09:26.800 But then we're gonna haul it all on to big, huge, massive trucks. 02:09:27.039 --> 02:09:27.359 Yep. 02:09:27.520 --> 02:09:30.560 And ding-ding-ging-ding-ing-ga-ing-ding-ing-ga-ing-ding-ding-ding. 02:09:30.960 --> 02:09:36.560 Drive it down to Iowa where it will be processed. 02:09:37.439 --> 02:09:39.520 Well, where will the steel go after that? 02:09:40.720 --> 02:09:44.399 You know the infrastructure of the harbor in Duluth? 02:09:47.439 --> 02:09:50.000 Do you know that connects us to the world? 02:09:52.399 --> 02:09:56.800 Through the Great Lakes and then the Erie Canal? 02:09:57.600 --> 02:09:58.239 Yes. 02:09:59.279 --> 02:10:02.079 And then the Hudson River, Hudson Bay. 02:10:02.720 --> 02:10:06.000 That was carved out 200 years ago. 02:10:06.640 --> 02:10:07.760 Let me stop it here. 02:10:07.920 --> 02:10:18.640 Because remember, as I broke down earlier, when it comes to those shipping costs, it is costlier for Misabi Steel Steel. 02:10:18.960 --> 02:10:20.239 I had a comment that rolled in. 02:10:20.319 --> 02:10:23.039 Why is it so hard to say

a steel mill? 02:10:23.439 --> 02:10:25.520 It's difficult, it doesn't roll off the tongue. 02:10:25.760 --> 02:10:36.079 It is costlier to have to go and ship the ore and the supplies necessary back and forth, but it speaks to the incentives that Iowa gave the company over Minnesota. 02:10:36.399 --> 02:10:47.680 With all of the experience of the mining industry in the state of Minnesota, we have not been able to get a copper mine up for 25 years by the boundary by the near-the-boundary waters. 02:10:48.079 --> 02:10:53.600 Um, why would Masabi uh metals waste its time? 02:10:53.840 --> 02:11:07.119 They know if they get a steel steel mill approved by the federal government, Minnesota environmental groups will sue and tie this uh this steel factory up in course for decades. 02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:09.199 So why do it here? 02:11:09.600 --> 02:11:14.079 Do it down in Iowa where they're more friendly to people that want to make a living. 02:11:14.319 --> 02:11:15.840 Anyway, just my thoughts. 02:11:16.239 --> 02:11:20.479 It's the uh it's the silence from the Minnesota leadership. 02:11:20.720 --> 02:11:41.920 Uh the uh comments coming from members of Congress and uh those part those individuals in the legislature on the right aside, the silence from anybody on the on the left and the DFL over this, despite the fact that we are gonna receive billions of dollars in economic revenue and hundreds of jobs will be created because uh of the operation in the$15 billion plant. 02:11:42.159 --> 02:11:45.760 The silence speaks absolute volumes. 02:11:46.479 --> 02:11:48.000 Volumes into how little. 02:11:48.079 --> 02:11:57.279 And I think I'm gonna change my my my commentary on this based off of one of the comments that rolled into the blaster line at six five one nine six four zero two nine four. 02:11:57.520 --> 02:11:59.600 Um the silence speaks. 02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:07.199 Volumes over how little interest they had in Misabi creating this steel mill here. 02:12:08.000 --> 02:12:08.399 Right. 02:12:08.560 --> 02:12:09.039 You're right. 02:12:09.199 --> 02:12:11.199 I don't think it was a matter of them not caring. 02:12:11.279 --> 02:12:13.279 I just I don't think that they cared to have it here. 02:12:13.439 --> 02:12:15.439 It just wasn't, it didn't matter to them. 02:12:15.760 --> 02:12:20.159 They'd rather see the state not reap the economic benefit. 02:12:20.319 --> 02:12:23.199 There was some electoral calculus that went into this. 02:12:23.359 --> 02:12:24.640 I can almost guarantee it. 02:12:24.800 --> 02:12:26.720 All right, let's turn our attention to fraud. 02:12:26.960 --> 02:12:28.159 You've probably seen the headlines. 02:12:28.239 --> 02:12:29.039 Minnesota A.G. 02:12:29.199 --> 02:12:32.399 Keith Ellison charges nine providers with Medicaid fraud. 02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:41.520 The charges include felony theft, identity theft, financial exploitation, criminal neglect, and financial transaction card fraud. 02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:43.680 There's an important issue. 02:12:43.840 --> 02:12:46.159 Actually, there's a couple of different important issues, though. 02:12:46.319 --> 02:12:48.399 One of them is the timing question. 02:12:48.800 --> 02:12:51.119 These investigations are not brand new. 02:12:51.359 --> 02:12:52.720 Not by any stretch. 02:12:52.960 --> 02:13:00.399 Channel 5 reported the allegations involving several of the providers charged in 2026, the ones that were just announced. 02:13:00.560 --> 02:13:02.159 They date back years. 02:13:02.720 --> 02:13:09.119 So it raises the question of why are the charges just arriving now rather than earlier? 02:13:10.079 --> 02:13:11.439 That's your first question. 02:13:12.000 --> 02:13:17.359 The second is why is it that it wasn't caught in the first place? 02:13:17.600 --> 02:13:20.720 We're continuing to catch this on the back end. 02:13:21.199 --> 02:13:27.439 So where in the Sam Heck has Attorney General Thief Ellison been on the front end, the front end of stopping the fraud? 02:13:27.600 --> 02:13:31.039 Why is it we're only now still dealing with this on the back end? 02:13:31.199 --> 02:13:45.279 And here, when it comes to the timing, it seems pretty clear that Ellison was waiting to the opportune moment to grab the headlines, especially when you consider that right now, he's not faring too well in the polls against Ron Schutz. 02:13:45.920 --> 02:13:53.680 I'm going to provide for you some details that you probably have not heard anywhere else coming up in uh just a moment uh on the show. 02:13:53.920 --> 02:14:00.800 Also, uh, we'll definitely be getting into the Minneapolis City Council and their uh de facto ban on autonomous views. 02:14:01.119 --> 02:14:02.800 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:14:03.119 --> 02:14:06.159 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:14:06.319 --> 02:14:07.680 Just get in, okay? 02:14:07.840 --> 02:14:10.960 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:14:11.119 --> 02:14:12.880 So let's go with those ways. 02:14:13.039 --> 02:14:13.520 The end. 02:14:14.720 --> 02:14:21.920 Before we get to that, though, I want to remind you that when you call most home service companies, you're probably gonna get upsell, commissions, and one trade fixes. 02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:33.199 I was driving home uh yesterday and I saw one of those uh vehicles uh that is a very well-known name when it comes to home the home service uh industry. 02:14:33.359 --> 02:14:34.479 One that everybody knows. 02:14:34.560 --> 02:14:38.159 What most people don't know is that you're not getting that local service anymore. 02:14:38.399 --> 02:14:43.600 These companies have been purchased by outside corporations, Minnesota, and sometimes outside of the country. 02:14:43.920 --> 02:14:48.880 And because of that, there's been a lot of changeover in terms of staff and the quality of service you used to get. 02:14:48.960 --> 02:14:50.239 You're not getting it anymore. 02:14:50.319 --> 02:14:58.399 And

you do not want to get poor quality of service when you're talking about individuals coming in to your own home. 02:14:59.600 --> 02:15:12.239 You want to make sure that you're going with licensed experts across the major trades that are going to treat you and your home professionally and with respect and provide recommendations that are in your best interest and that are honest. 02:15:12.479 --> 02:15:16.560 That is what you get with Ericsson Plumbing, Heating, Air, and Electrical. 02:15:16.640 --> 02:15:33.600 Their technicians are non-commissioned, so you can trust the recommendations that they give you, whether you're looking for a specific issue regarding your home you need addressed, or you want a home, a full home mechanical analysis, their iHeart My Home Club, designed especially for that. 02:15:33.760 --> 02:15:36.079 Real whole home care from people who actually care. 02:15:36.239 --> 02:15:38.560 Learn more at iHeartexon.com. 02:15:38.640 --> 02:15:41.279 That's iHeartToEricsson.com. 02:15:41.439 --> 02:15:44.720 Call them today at 763-783-4545. 02:15:45.039 --> 02:15:49.439 That's 763-783-4545, and tell them that John Justice is. 02:15:49.840 --> 02:15:57.279 If a woman finds out she is pregnant and feels scared and alone, Alpha Women's Center offers her help and hope to choose life. 02:15:57.520 --> 02:16:07.760 Alpha Women's Center is a pro-life Christian mobile clinic that serves women like Tita, who left her abortion appointment and chose life for her twins after seeing her ultrasound. 02:16:07.840 --> 02:16:14.000 With free counseling, diapers, and resources, she's continuing her education and building a stronger family. 02:16:14.239 --> 02:16:21.199 Alpha Women's Center is donor supported and serves five Twin Cities locations, including outside abortion clinics. 02:16:21.359 --> 02:16:25.359 For more information, go to MiracleMachineMN.com. 02:16:25.520 --> 02:16:28.880 That's MiracleMachineMN.com. 02:16:29.840 --> 02:16:38.719 You've heard about Education Minnesota, the statewide teachers' union that's affiliated with Randy Weingarten's American Federation of Teachers. 02:16:38.879 --> 02:16:40.639 Well, they're at it again. 02:16:40.799 --> 02:16:45.920 They have endorsed their slate of candidates in the Eastern Carver County School Board race. 02:16:46.079 --> 02:16:57.120 To see whose campaigns Education Minnesota and the local teachers union, the Chaska Education Association, are funding, visit reelectjoscott.com and check the blog section. 02:16:57.440 --> 02:17:03.760 Hi, I'm Joe Scott, and I'm the only conservative on the Eastern Carver County Schools Board. 02:17:03.920 --> 02:17:15.440 This is the old Chaska School District, and it covers most of Chanhassan and Victoria, all of Chaska, East Union, Carver, and the townships of San Francisco, Lake Town, and Dahlgren. 02:17:15.680 --> 02:17:17.520 Ideology becomes policy. 02:17:17.840 --> 02:17:22.799 We need to keep these outside ideologies away from our children. 02:17:22.959 --> 02:17:27.360 These national interests are going to have to get through me to get to your kids. 02:17:27.600 --> 02:17:30.319 This ad was paid for by re-elect Joe Scott. 02:17:30.959 --> 02:17:34.719 We're going to be talking fraud in just a moment here on the John Justice Show. 02:17:34.799 --> 02:17:38.319 It's enough to stress people out, make you want to pull your hair out. 02:17:38.479 --> 02:17:47.040 One of the ways that you can relax or get a good night's sleep is through the amazing products available to you at minileaf.com. 02:17:47.680 --> 02:17:49.920 The gummies, they taste fantastic, by the way. 02:17:50.000 --> 02:17:51.040 I don't talk about this enough. 02:17:51.280 --> 02:17:54.959 Made with all natural ingredients, and so they're approved by my cardiologist. 02:17:55.040 --> 02:17:56.159 I talked to him, right?

unredacted 14 state programs conducted by Optum. 02:19:22.639 --> 02:19:31.280 The audit which identified the potential recoveries of over$1 billion was submitted to the Minnesota Department of Human Services in January. 02:19:31.440 --> 02:19:42.959 Despite a state law allowing the report to be released to legislative committees, DHS has yet to provide the unredacted report, prompting lawmakers to review their requests. 02:19:43.120 --> 02:19:48.559 Now, this story in its entirety is available up at alphanews.org. 02:19:48.639 --> 02:19:50.479 I encourage you to go and check it out. 02:19:50.559 --> 02:19:54.239 And I'm going to be basically piecing together a couple of different stories here. 02:19:54.559 --> 02:20:15.200 Because I personally believe that a part of the reason why Attorney General Thief Ellison decided to move forward with these charges against these nine providers for Medicaid fraud is because he's trying to distract from this investigation of the lack of the optimum report being released, which was obviously redacted for a very specific reason. 02:20:15.440 --> 02:20:18.959 The story is gaining national attention regarding our fraud, by the way. 02:20:19.120 --> 02:20:20.559 I got a couple of pieces here. 02:20:20.639 --> 02:20:26.639 There's one from Newsmax Minneapolis pro uh program faces fraud, waste, and abuse. 02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:43.120 This was talking about specifically the violence interrupter program, which is obviously separate from what we're talking about via the Medicaid and taxpayer-funded services and transportation fraud, but it still falls under that fraud banner of what we're plagued with here in Minnesota. 02:20:43.360 --> 02:20:52.719 Daily Wire has a piece talking about the fraud, detailing uh eight different scammers and a legal alien billing taxpayers, a billion each. 02:20:53.440 --> 02:20:55.920 The story continues to gain national attention. 02:20:56.000 --> 02:21:08.639 And now that you have lawmakers demanding to see the unredacted report to find out exactly what it is that it would appear Optum is trying to hide, suddenly Keith Ellison out of nowhere has charges against nine providers. 02:21:08.879 --> 02:21:16.479 As I mentioned a moment ago, though, there may be perfectly legitimate reasons as to why the criminal investigation took years. 02:21:16.799 --> 02:21:29.600 You've got, you know, interviewing of the recipients, you need to obtain documentation, you have to coordinate with agencies, you got to build a prosecutable case, you got to follow the financial records. 02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:30.719 I get all that. 02:21:30.959 --> 02:21:36.239 But the timing seems awfully convenient when we're a handful of weeks away. 02:21:36.719 --> 02:21:41.520 Ellison is trailing in the polls to his opponent Ron Schutz. 02:21:41.840 --> 02:21:46.399 Fraud continues to be the number one issue the Minnesotans are facing. 02:21:46.479 --> 02:21:50.079 And that was, you know, that bear out or bore out. 02:21:50.239 --> 02:21:50.639 Which way is it? 02:21:50.799 --> 02:21:51.840 Bear out, bore out. 02:21:52.719 --> 02:21:53.680 I think it's bear out. 02:21:53.920 --> 02:21:54.639 I think it's bear out. 02:21:54.799 --> 02:21:55.360 Either way. 02:21:55.520 --> 02:22:03.040 That was shown in the Thinking Minnesota polling, of which we continue to give you exclusive uh information on tomorrow on the show. 02:22:03.280 --> 02:22:05.360 We were supposed to today, but he was double booked. 02:22:05.520 --> 02:22:14.799 Um Bill Walsh here from Center of the American Experiment will be joining us in studio as we dive into tomorrow at 8:30, the DFL's DSA problem. 02:22:15.520 --> 02:22:23.440 So you have all these issues, and suddenly out of nowhere, you've got Keith Ellison charging nine providers with Medicaid fraud. 02:22:23.600 --> 02:22:25.360 Okay, but there's more to this. 02:22:26.159 --> 02:22:27.920 So uh let's see. 02:22:28.079 --> 02:22:29.680 We'll get into the details. 02:22:30.000 --> 02:22:37.440 Because the question that I hit have is how long can fraudulent Medicaid payments continue before the state systems flag them down? 02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:46.159 It seems to me that we continue to handle the fraud on the back end instead of taking pay uh taking care of it on the front end, which impacts you the most. 02:22:46.799 --> 02:22:53.280 Like, it's all fine and dandy that they're going and nailing these fraudsters now, but the odds of them clawing the money back is slim to nil. 02:22:53.520 --> 02:22:55.600 Why don't we do more to stop it on the front end? 02:22:55.760 --> 02:22:56.959 That's the question. 02:22:57.440 --> 02:23:00.000 So out of the Miracle Miles Shopping Center in St. 02:23:00.079 --> 02:23:08.719 Louis Park, therapist Peter uh Mealan allegedly began his fraud scheme while working as an independent contractor for Franklin Family Services. 02:23:08.879 --> 02:23:21.600 According to the criminal complaint, Mealan received information from a mother about her seven kids, then billed Medicaid for nearly three years, claiming to provide psychotherapy services. 02:23:22.079 --> 02:23:26.000 Just ripping, just ripping the taxpayers directly off. 02:23:30.079 --> 02:23:32.879 The mom says they never once saw Mielan. 02:23:33.680 --> 02:23:41.200 Patients listed in Meelan's claims claim uh told us time and again that Meelan did not provide the services he claimed to provide. 02:23:41.280 --> 02:23:43.600 This is according to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. 02:23:43.840 --> 02:23:46.479 Some said they never had a single session with Mielan. 02:23:46.639 --> 02:23:57.440 Between the Twin Cities and his office in Duluth, Meelan is accused of submitting two uh 27,400 false claims for services he never provided. 02:24:01.600 --> 02:24:18.239 Diving back into the story, the Minnesota Department of Human Services has said it issued a payment withholding from Mielan and his company on August 13th, 2024 and terminated the

Medicaid enrollment in January of 26, but he's still listed as having an active therapist license in Oregon. 02:24:18.479 --> 02:24:24.319 Why would why did it take until January of this year to terminate the Medicaid enrollment? 02:24:25.200 --> 02:24:26.239 That's a question that I have. 02:24:26.319 --> 02:24:27.840 How long were they just sitting on this? 02:24:28.079 --> 02:24:28.559 How long? 02:24:29.760 --> 02:24:34.159 At what point, potentially, just speculating here, pure speculation. 02:24:34.319 --> 02:24:54.239 But was there a point where they're looking at charging these nine providers and there's a calendar in front of them and they go, well, you know, if we hold off on this and if we hold off on this, and if we don't terminate the Medicaid enrollment until January, then we can go announce the achar the charges in September, you know, ahead of heading into October in the last few weeks of the election, that could be really, really beneficial. 02:24:54.559 --> 02:24:55.920 See how that works. 02:24:56.239 --> 02:25:03.520 Mealan is one of nine people, as I mentioned, charged with defrauding the Medicaid program out of more than three million dollars, according to Ellison's office. 02:25:03.600 --> 02:25:12.399 The charges were filed by its Medicaid fraud control unit, which has jurisdiction to investigate Minnesota providers suspected of committing Medicaid fraud. 02:25:12.719 --> 02:25:21.200 So here's when things here's where things get get interesting, as I had uh mentioned uh before. 02:25:21.520 --> 02:25:29.600 Okay, Ellison's office is making the case, right, that he is aggressively pursuing fraud. 02:25:30.079 --> 02:25:40.239 His office has gone so far as to say that 350 Medicaid fraud convictions have fallen under his office since 2019 and more than 90 million in judgment judgments and recoveries. 02:25:40.399 --> 02:25:45.200 What's not accounted for there is how much of this started at the federal level, and he's just taking credit for it. 02:25:45.840 --> 02:25:48.000 Because that's absolutely happening, by the way. 02:25:50.719 --> 02:25:51.840 But here's the argument. 02:25:52.000 --> 02:26:00.239 If the state is repeatedly discovering millions of dollars in fraudulent medical billing, w why wasn't the fraud detected before the money was actually paid? 02:26:02.799 --> 02:26:04.559 It's curious, isn't it? 02:26:07.920 --> 02:26:23.920 The criticism has even more substance now when you consider the OLA report that I mentioned earlier that came out just recently assessing specifically the weakness in billing provider oversight and fraud detection. 02:26:24.239 --> 02:26:26.319 That's the other piece of this puzzle. 02:26:26.719 --> 02:26:30.159 And you begin to see why these charges were just announced. 02:26:30.479 --> 02:26:46.959 That OLA report, the Office of Legislative Auditor, again was specific in pointing out the billing provider oversight and fraud detection was weak and has been weak and continues to be weak

here in Minnesota. 02:26:48.159 --> 02:26:49.440 So what does Ellison do? 02:26:49.520 --> 02:26:50.239 Suddenly out of nowhere. 02:26:50.319 --> 02:26:51.920 Oh, look, we charged these nine people. 02:26:52.000 --> 02:26:52.719 Isn't that great? 02:26:52.799 --> 02:26:53.680 Isn't that fantastic? 02:26:53.760 --> 02:26:55.600 Look at all the work I'm doing, everybody. 02:26:55.840 --> 02:26:58.639 I'm doing all this work, even as a little, little tiny man, too. 02:26:58.799 --> 02:27:02.000 Not that that makes any difference, but just uh just saying. 02:27:03.360 --> 02:27:05.200 Good morning, Bob from New York City. 02:27:05.440 --> 02:27:13.760 If Amy Clovishar is going to fight and cut fraud, doesn't that mean she will reduce the state budget accordingly and give it back to the taxpayers? 02:27:15.040 --> 02:27:17.040 I am not holding my breath. 02:27:17.680 --> 02:27:19.040 Great show so far. 02:27:20.000 --> 02:27:22.959 Catching fraud is not the same thing as preventing fraud. 02:27:23.200 --> 02:27:24.639 That's the difference. 02:27:25.440 --> 02:27:28.079 And we're not doing enough preventing a fraud. 02:27:29.440 --> 02:27:33.920 It seems to me, at least my perception on this, is that Keith Ellison gets to have it both ways here. 02:27:34.159 --> 02:27:41.920 He enabled the fraud, but didn't make a group of individuals that he considers to be constituents voters. 02:27:42.239 --> 02:27:43.040 He's on record. 02:27:43.200 --> 02:27:44.639 There's audio of him talking. 02:27:44.879 --> 02:27:52.319 Two individuals who were later convicted of fraud, saying how he would be fighting on their behalf over the investigation. 02:27:52.479 --> 02:27:57.760 How the investigation into their fraudulent activity was potentially inspired by racism. 02:27:57.920 --> 02:27:59.840 So here he gets to have it both ways. 02:28:04.959 --> 02:28:09.040 Getting further into the details of this, here's a couple more questions for you. 02:28:10.319 --> 02:28:14.000 How does uh Medicaid verify that the service actually happened in the first place? 02:28:14.079 --> 02:28:15.920 I mean, that's just a question that I have. 02:28:17.840 --> 02:28:23.600 Why can someone commit 27,000 allegedly false claims and not get caught? 02:28:23.840 --> 02:28:25.360 How does it go that far? 02:28:26.000 --> 02:28:28.000 How is it nobody saw that? 02:28:30.239 --> 02:28:33.680 I mean, how much money is being lost that nobody's discovered yet? 02:28:33.840 --> 02:28:38.159 That's another crucial, quick, crucial question. 02:28:39.920 --> 02:28:53.600 How many of attorney how the how many of the attorney general's 220 open cases, mind you, involve the same kinds of weaknesses to identify identified by the legislative auditor? 02:28:53.760 --> 02:28:57.360 There are 220 open cases that that the Attorney General Keith Ellison has. 02:28:57.680 --> 02:29:00.079 How many of those could be charged today? 02:29:01.280 --> 02:29:05.920 Keep this in the back of your mind, and we can kind

of run a run a run a game here. 02:29:06.159 --> 02:29:12.319 How many more charges are going to take place over the course of the next week? 02:29:12.559 --> 02:29:14.479 I'm excuse me, next month. 02:29:16.000 --> 02:29:17.040 That's my prediction. 02:29:17.200 --> 02:29:21.600 My prediction is this story of these charges is just going to be the first of many. 02:29:21.920 --> 02:29:34.479 My guess is that Attorney General Keith Ellison's office is suddenly very busy putting forward recommendations for charges of which they will make announcements from now until Election Day. 02:29:34.879 --> 02:29:46.000 All because now it's politically expedient for him to go and act like he's doing something about the fraud, wherein he hasn't been doing anything except for allowing it to take place, in my opinion, up until this point. 02:29:49.280 --> 02:29:55.040 You know, the Office of Legislative Auditor, that report was all about prevention. 02:29:55.200 --> 02:30:03.360 Identify the suspicious claims, flag them, withhold the payment, and investigate before the taxpayer money actually leaves the system. 02:30:06.639 --> 02:30:12.159 You know, Ellison's just talking about the prosecution aspect of it, completely ignores the front end. 02:30:13.440 --> 02:30:17.680 And why are we getting better at prosecuting Medicaid fraud after it happens? 02:30:17.840 --> 02:30:20.239 And why aren't we getting any better at the other aspect of it? 02:30:20.479 --> 02:30:23.280 And again, these are not questions that I have answers to. 02:30:23.600 --> 02:30:40.879 But they are all the relevant questions relating to what has been happening and the fact that Ellison right now is taking a victory lap over this when the reality is no, this should be raising a lot of other questions regarding what we're not doing on the front end relating to fraud. 02:30:42.079 --> 02:30:44.719 And again, let's get back to those open cases cases. 02:30:44.959 --> 02:31:00.079 Ellison says his office and the MFCU currently has approximately 220 open cases and that referrals come from DHS, managed care organizations, law enforcement public tips, and the unit's own analysis of building anomalies. 02:31:00.959 --> 02:31:17.760 And yet, five days after the legislative watchdog publicly warned that Minnesota's Medicaid system has vulnerabilities that could continue to allow fraud and improper payments, the Attorney General's office announces nine separate criminal Medicaid fraud cases. 02:31:17.920 --> 02:31:32.799 The cases themselves appear to have originated from investigations and referrals that predated the OLA report, but the timing, again, raises the legit question about whether the report could affect how Minnesota approaches fraud prevention going forward. 02:31:32.959 --> 02:31:36.399 It's all a big, massive smokescreen, in my opinion. 02:31:36.959 --> 02:31:39.200 It's clever, make no mistake. 02:31:39.440 --> 02:31:41.360 It may actually end up helping him. 02:31:41.520 --> 02:31:44.879 It does answer a question that I've had over the course of the past few weeks. 02:31:45.040 --> 02:31:55.440 And that question that I have had over the course of the past few weeks is what was the DFL going to do in light of the recent polling data that we've seen. 02:31:56.159 --> 02:32:07.280 You have Republicans leading in a couple of races, you have the governor's race, you have the Senate race, Michelle Tefoya and Peggy Flanagan, all within striking distance are all tied up. 02:32:07.440 --> 02:32:13.360 And I was sitting back wondering how is the DFL going to respond to this bad polling? 02:32:14.559 --> 02:32:16.639 They can't start addressing the fraud. 02:32:16.719 --> 02:32:18.559 They've made the election all about Trump. 02:32:18.639 --> 02:32:20.719 Well, I got part of my answer now. 02:32:21.680 --> 02:32:31.520 For in Keith Ellison's case, more than likely, he'll start prosecuting more individuals because he's been sitting on all these cases waiting for this very moment. 02:32:32.879 --> 02:32:33.680 One more question. 02:32:33.840 --> 02:32:38.319 We'll get to some of your thoughts via the blaster line this morning on this topic. 02:32:38.479 --> 02:32:41.920 651-964-0294. 02:32:42.079 --> 02:32:43.200 Here's the other question that I have. 02:32:43.280 --> 02:32:45.600 Again, pure speculation on all of this. 02:32:46.159 --> 02:32:48.479 But let's just say for the sake of argument that I'm right. 02:32:48.799 --> 02:32:57.440 And that Ellison has been waiting and is doing all these charges now to try to go and save face and show and shore up his flight his uh his failing polling numbers. 02:32:57.760 --> 02:33:00.239 How much fraud has been committed because of this? 02:33:01.280 --> 02:33:10.479 How many individuals in those open cases are still receiving Medicaid dollars for services they're billing for but not providing for? 02:33:11.760 --> 02:33:15.280 Again, I don't have the uh I don't have the the answer. 02:33:15.520 --> 02:33:17.360 I just want to pose the question. 02:33:17.680 --> 02:33:26.799 How much more money is being wasted because they're waiting until now to go and do the right thing in prosecuting these individuals? 02:33:27.280 --> 02:33:36.639 We all know that not a thing will happen until we get a Republican governor and craft in there. 02:33:40.159 --> 02:33:40.879 Even then. 02:34:00.239 --> 02:34:07.920 Honest, unpartial press in the state of Minnesota or in the country for that matter, so many of these problems would go away. 02:34:08.079 --> 02:34:15.840 Because the problem is that nobody knows about it because they're not told and they don't listen to conservative media. 02:34:16.159 --> 02:34:19.520 You know, at a minimum, you would have a more informed public. 02:34:19.680 --> 02:34:20.879 I'm I'm with you. 02:34:21.680 --> 02:34:23.360 Just have the relevant information. 02:34:23.520 --> 02:34:37.840 I I do agree that you would probably see uh a massive shift in the way uh in in who

ends up winning elections in the polls and individuals who care about these matters that would actually get elected into office. 02:34:38.000 --> 02:34:40.639 But right now, the majority of people don't have the info. 02:34:40.879 --> 02:34:59.120 And unfortunately, when it comes to the leftists, they've done a fantastic job uh of convincing their base of supporters that it doesn't matter what the opposition party is standing for or what they want to do, or or it doesn't matter if fraud was enabled. 02:34:59.360 --> 02:35:06.079 They've been told over and over again that if anybody's associated with Trump, they're evil wrong, and they simply can't be supported. 02:35:06.799 --> 02:35:16.159 Even if the alternative on their side of the political spectrum is an individual who allowed some of this to happen or voted on policy. 02:35:16.479 --> 02:35:19.680 Listen, I played the clip earlier, and this is a good moment to play it again. 02:35:19.760 --> 02:35:28.000 This this montage here, Grant Hostri in this competitive race for the Minnesota legislative Senate seat, talking out of both sides of his mouth. 02:35:28.879 --> 02:35:30.319 How much is this going to have an impact? 02:35:30.479 --> 02:35:31.200 Probably very little. 02:35:32.399 --> 02:35:47.600 But here you have his commentary talking about defending data centers on the floor of the legislature, juxtaposed back and forth in the clips, and you can hear the difference in the clips with a recent campaign ad where he's pushing back on data centers. 02:35:47.760 --> 02:35:51.120 But the problem is for the base of supporters, they're not gonna care. 02:35:51.600 --> 02:35:53.600 I would I I hope I'm wrong on that. 02:35:53.680 --> 02:35:55.040 This is the cynical part of me. 02:35:55.200 --> 02:35:56.239 I don't think I am though. 02:35:56.719 --> 02:36:07.760 One of these data centers is the size of US Bank Stadium, larger than the bonding bill that we will pass later today. 02:36:07.920 --> 02:36:09.040 Think about that. 02:36:09.760 --> 02:36:13.760 I'm Grant Hoscheld, and we thought we'd show you what can happen with data centers. 02:36:14.079 --> 02:36:19.920 Think about the economic impact that these data centers bring to Minnesota. 02:36:20.399 --> 02:36:22.159 First, they're really big. 02:36:22.319 --> 02:36:24.559 One building can be 40 acres. 02:36:25.200 --> 02:36:33.040 That's thousands of construction jobs, hundreds of long-term jobs for each one of these data centers. 02:36:33.360 --> 02:36:35.040 They can be noisy. 02:36:35.520 --> 02:36:47.440 That's not even mentioning the local community benefits that come from the local sales, the local uh sales tax and benefits that local communities get from these data centers. 02:36:47.840 --> 02:36:50.879 Use up a lot of water and a lot of electricity. 02:36:51.440 --> 02:36:58.639 Transformative when you consider the school districts and local city benefits that they will get from these data centers. 02:37:06.479 --> 02:37:09.520 These

data centers are being built across the country. 02:37:09.760 --> 02:37:14.639 Just today, it was announced that Amazon is building$20 billion. 02:37:15.120 --> 02:37:20.879 That's$20 billion with a B dollars in data centers in their state. 02:37:21.120 --> 02:37:23.920 We should want that here in Minnesota. 02:37:24.079 --> 02:37:25.840 Because I don't work for big tech. 02:37:26.000 --> 02:37:27.280 I work for you. 02:37:29.360 --> 02:37:41.120 Yeah, it's an interesting uh juxtaposition between uh how he uh used to go and talk about the uh data centers and how he goes and talks about the data centers uh now. 02:37:42.479 --> 02:37:43.680 Do people care? 02:37:44.079 --> 02:37:46.399 Does hypocrisy matter to anybody anymore? 02:37:46.559 --> 02:37:48.799 I mean, that's the question that uh that I have. 02:37:49.280 --> 02:37:52.479 You're a hundred percent right that they allowed the fraud to go on. 02:37:52.799 --> 02:37:58.319 Because if it would never have become an election issue, if it would have died away, they would have done nothing. 02:37:58.559 --> 02:38:02.959 Now they just have to serve up a few sacrificial lambs for the cause. 02:38:03.200 --> 02:38:06.719 Um, but the majority of the fraud will still go unpunished. 02:38:07.680 --> 02:38:14.319 So and uh as an example of my point of the broken and brainwashed, they don't listen. 02:38:14.399 --> 02:38:16.719 And they only hear what they want to hear. 02:38:17.040 --> 02:38:21.360 Case in point, uh Mildred, uh, Eric and Brainerd has a comment. 02:38:21.600 --> 02:38:40.319 And and this this could not be more fitting to the commentary that I just provided about individuals who simply don't pay attention, do not care, they only hear what they want to hear, and then they form their opinion based off of that selective listening that they do. 02:38:40.639 --> 02:38:42.079 Okay, more than this hearing from Brainerd. 02:38:42.239 --> 02:38:44.559 You're telling your own opinions, but not your own facts. 02:38:44.719 --> 02:38:52.399 Where the hell are you getting this within striking distance uh polling from? 02:38:52.639 --> 02:38:54.000 Center for the American Experiment. 02:38:54.239 --> 02:38:56.399 Yeah, uh That wasn't what I was talking about. 02:38:56.479 --> 02:38:58.879 It wasn't the Center of the American Experiment polling. 02:38:59.520 --> 02:39:00.959 Listen with better ears than that. 02:39:01.040 --> 02:39:06.399 There was the KSTP USA poll, and there was the polling data firm from the week before. 02:39:06.559 --> 02:39:13.200 Both of those polls showed Ron Schutz and Scott Jensen leading in their respective races. 02:39:13.440 --> 02:39:19.680 You had Peggy Flanagan and Michelle Tefoya all but tied up in the margin of error. 02:39:19.760 --> 02:39:21.040 Well, not even the margin of error. 02:39:21.120 --> 02:39:22.000 We're talking tied up. 02:39:22.159 --> 02:39:24.959 If anything, Peggy Flanagan was maybe ahead by one. 02:39:25.120 --> 02:39:33.280 And then when you had

the polling when it came to the governor's race, it showed that Lisa Damuth was in striking distance of Amy Klobuchar. 02:39:34.159 --> 02:39:36.399 It has nothing to do with the thinking Minnesota poll. 02:39:36.559 --> 02:39:37.840 It's two completely different things. 02:39:37.920 --> 02:39:42.000 And I've differentiated that over and over on the show, but you don't listen. 02:39:43.520 --> 02:39:47.680 Every poll that is credible is saying the exact opposite. 02:39:47.920 --> 02:39:58.319 And I know you guys want to pretend and will into existence that this is a fraud election, which it's not, but Okay, and that point, it is a fraud election. 02:39:58.479 --> 02:40:00.319 And all of the data points to that. 02:40:00.559 --> 02:40:12.559 The Thinking Minnesota polling data points to that, the polling that uh Alpha News recently put out points to that, the KSTP polling points to that, they all point to fraud being the number one issue in the state. 02:40:12.879 --> 02:40:17.360 Again, you only hear what you want to hear or you make up your own crap. 02:40:17.680 --> 02:40:19.840 This is not at all reality. 02:40:19.920 --> 02:40:28.799 Um and by the way, Trump made it about himself on the ballot this November, not anything else, um, despite you guys saying that he wasn't on the ballot. 02:40:29.440 --> 02:40:31.360 And again, you're wrong. 02:40:32.319 --> 02:40:43.760 Look at the timeline of how the DFL, specifically here in Minnesota, was framing their arguments and their ads over and over and over again. 02:40:43.920 --> 02:41:02.000 If anything, that should be a complaint on President Donald Trump because he only went and began talking about him being on the ballot to voters after seeing that the Democrats were going and using him to try to encourage their voters to get out and vote. 02:41:02.719 --> 02:41:04.959 So Trump was actually behind the eight ball. 02:41:05.200 --> 02:41:23.120 So if you really listened or were intelligent in any way, shape, or form, you could have actually levied criticism against Trump saying he was late to the party by going and telling individuals, especially during and then when it started, was going back to the RNC midterm convention where he said, put me on the ballot. 02:41:23.200 --> 02:41:29.040 That was one of the first moments when President Donald Trump made that comment to the biggest audience he could. 02:41:29.200 --> 02:41:38.799 And that was only after Democrats had begun positioning themselves as this election being about Trump and aligning every single candidate in opposition to President Donald Trump. 02:41:45.120 --> 02:41:47.440 And the news, maybe you should ask Melinda about it. 02:41:47.600 --> 02:41:53.760 But yeah, that all was about making Trump on the ballot, and Tom Ever even said that that was the case. 02:41:53.920 --> 02:41:55.280 So no, this is a Trump. 02:41:55.680 --> 02:41:57.440 Yeah, and I just explained that to you. 02:41:57.680 --> 02:42:00.000 Those ads started long beforehand. 02:42:00.239 --> 02:42:10.000 And if you were actually good at any commentary, if you weren't calling in from the basement of your mother's home using a voice disguiser, you would have known that. 02:42:22.079 --> 02:42:28.159 Could have done a little more door knocking or something besides rattling off polls that are crap. 02:42:28.319 --> 02:42:29.760 Have a great day. 02:42:33.440 --> 02:42:36.799 Peek into the mind of an ignorant leftist. 02:42:36.959 --> 02:42:38.239 That's all that it is. 02:42:38.719 --> 02:42:42.479 And this must be a hell of an entertaining show. 02:42:42.879 --> 02:42:46.079 If Mildred just simply cannot equip me. 02:42:59.920 --> 02:43:02.000 Well, guess what, Eric? 02:43:02.239 --> 02:43:03.680 You're probably wrong. 02:43:04.079 --> 02:43:07.520 Hate to tell you, but you should try some different news sources. 02:43:08.239 --> 02:43:15.360 You know, again, it would be one thing if the commentary that was being provided had any legitimacy to it at all. 02:43:16.239 --> 02:43:18.159 It just doesn't. 02:43:19.840 --> 02:43:33.520 Oh man, do I hope Ellison loses and the Republicans win several of these state races to shut this thing up and bring the name Eric. 02:43:34.239 --> 02:43:34.879 Good Lord. 02:43:35.040 --> 02:43:40.239 Ah, you know, speaking of the Lord says forgive them for they know not what they do. 02:43:40.399 --> 02:43:44.319 Somebody wrote in, uh, John, there's an old saying that goes, do not argue with an idiot. 02:43:45.760 --> 02:43:46.399 I know. 02:43:46.639 --> 02:43:47.440 I'm I'm with you. 02:43:47.600 --> 02:43:50.479 Oh, trust me, by the way, that that that absolutely rings true. 02:43:50.559 --> 02:43:55.680 Eric uh mil Mildred Beatrice has been leaving comments throughout the entire show this morning. 02:43:55.840 --> 02:44:08.799 I just decided to go and grab that one because it seems as if the more the the longer I wait before I play a comment from the foe of the show, the better the commentary is, meaning the more ludicrous it ends up being. 02:44:09.280 --> 02:44:11.120 Hey, John, Barry and Andover here. 02:44:11.280 --> 02:44:18.319 While I strive to live in a world one day where there's no Mildred, Beatrice, etc., goofball from Brainerd. 02:44:18.959 --> 02:44:29.760 If the elections were to go our way and we're all praying they do, guess who will be the first one yelling election fraud, election engineering. 02:44:31.040 --> 02:44:33.760 It's just it'll be ridiculous. 02:44:34.000 --> 02:44:37.200 It'll be fun, but it'll be ridiculous. 02:44:38.000 --> 02:44:40.639 Uh thank you for the uh thank you for the comment. 02:44:40.799 --> 02:44:41.840 All right, let's get here. 02:44:42.079 --> 02:44:55.360 Eric's always talking about the sources that the show has and where you're getting your content and refuting it, but he never brings up the sources that he has and who's conflicting information where he's getting that from. 02:44:55.520 --> 02:44:56.479 So that'd be great.

02:44:56.799 --> 02:45:07.200 Maybe Eric could start dropping some of his sources, letting us know who's telling him something basically completely opposite of what the show is saying, since he's so ramped up every day to listen. 02:45:07.600 --> 02:45:10.719 Alright, I don't want the foe at the show to completely derail where I need to go. 02:45:10.799 --> 02:45:14.319 I have some other important issues to uh to dive uh to dive into. 02:45:14.479 --> 02:45:15.040 So let's go here. 02:45:15.120 --> 02:45:17.280 Let's set the stage on some talk about Minneapolis. 02:45:17.360 --> 02:45:22.159 You definitely want to hear this story, by the way, about what's happening regarding the autonomous vehicles. 02:45:22.239 --> 02:45:23.040 I have an update on it. 02:45:23.200 --> 02:45:25.120 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:45:25.360 --> 02:45:28.479 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:45:28.639 --> 02:45:29.920 Just get in, okay? 02:45:30.079 --> 02:45:33.120 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:45:33.440 --> 02:45:35.040 So let's go with those ways. 02:45:35.200 --> 02:45:35.520 The end. 02:45:36.319 --> 02:45:38.719 I cannot wait to have fun with this later. 02:45:39.600 --> 02:45:40.959 Later on today. 02:45:41.200 --> 02:45:47.360 Uh for the You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:45:47.680 --> 02:45:50.799 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:45:50.879 --> 02:45:52.239 Just get in, okay? 02:45:52.399 --> 02:45:55.600 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:45:55.680 --> 02:45:57.440 So let's go with those ways. 02:45:57.600 --> 02:45:58.000 The end. 02:45:58.479 --> 02:46:04.639 By the way, so this is again, this is Minneapolis City Council member Pearl Warren pushing back on Waymo. 02:46:05.520 --> 02:46:10.479 You know, you can use Waymo, but you don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:46:10.639 --> 02:46:11.600 Just get in. 02:46:11.920 --> 02:46:40.559 There's way more ways than the way you got, so let's go with those ways, basically saying use the current transportation that we already have, except for the fact that through their lunacy of trying to put in a quasi-ban on autonomous vehicles, they exposed a dangerous dark side to the rideshare services of Uber and Lyft, and that is that people are being assaulted and raped by the hundreds by using those services. 02:46:40.719 --> 02:46:41.120 Why? 02:46:41.280 --> 02:46:44.159 Because of the individuals driving the cars. 02:46:45.840 --> 02:46:52.000 Autonomous vehicles solve that problem because it's just you or the individual you're with in an autonomous vehicle. 02:46:52.159 --> 02:47:05.760 Yes, you can argue about whether or not these should operate depending on what the temperatures are outside, depending on the amount of white stuff that has fallen in the gro on the ground in the winter and sometimes getting into the spring here in Minnesota. 02:47:05.840 --> 02:47:07.920 Those are all valid arguments. 02:47:08.239 --> 02:47:16.000 What their argument gets is ludicrous, and it is less safe for the individuals in Minneapolis. 02:47:16.159 --> 02:47:31.520 But because they're protecting their own interests and a group of individuals that they believe they have to continue to be dependent upon to win elections so the communists can stay in power, they're putting forward this quasi-ban on all autonomous vehicles. 02:47:31.760 --> 02:47:33.760 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:47:34.079 --> 02:47:37.120 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:47:37.280 --> 02:47:38.639 Just get in, okay? 02:47:38.799 --> 02:47:41.920 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:47:42.079 --> 02:47:43.840 So let's go with those ways. 02:47:44.000 --> 02:47:44.639 The end. 02:47:45.920 --> 02:47:49.680 That council member's speech was actually fun to listen to. 02:47:50.079 --> 02:47:50.879 Who knew? 02:47:51.280 --> 02:47:53.920 Poetry slams and politics. 02:47:54.319 --> 02:47:55.520 It's funny. 02:47:56.159 --> 02:47:58.399 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:47:58.639 --> 02:48:01.680 You don't know which way they may go or may not. 02:48:02.879 --> 02:48:03.520 All right. 02:48:04.319 --> 02:48:05.760 So we got some time left. 02:48:05.920 --> 02:48:06.879 I got a couple of stories. 02:48:07.040 --> 02:48:09.520 One story I didn't cover yesterday, horrific tragedy. 02:48:09.760 --> 02:48:10.079 Okay. 02:48:11.600 --> 02:48:12.879 How it started. 02:48:13.360 --> 02:48:19.200 Minneapolis considers 11 more traffic cameras after pilot shows sharp a decline in speeding. 02:48:19.520 --> 02:48:28.799 Minneapolis is considering expanding its automated traffic enforcement program after the pilot program showed a significant reduction in speeding in initial camera locations. 02:48:28.959 --> 02:48:30.719 Well, yeah, of course. 02:48:31.600 --> 02:48:32.479 Of course. 02:48:32.799 --> 02:48:34.159 That's not the argument here. 02:48:34.239 --> 02:48:36.559 There's the privacy argument, right? 02:48:36.879 --> 02:48:37.920 Invasion of privacy. 02:48:38.079 --> 02:48:40.079 This has gone through constitutional challenges. 02:48:40.239 --> 02:48:44.879 I'm not surprised that there's a reduction in speed where these cameras get put up. 02:48:45.040 --> 02:49:06.719 I've argued many times throughout my 30-year radio talk show host career that if you just took old police squad cars or in those areas where they have uh patrol bikes, if you just set one of those on the side of the road at a particular location where you want to slow traffic down, traffic would slow down just at the side of a police vehicle. 02:49:06.799 --> 02:49:08.319 So this doesn't come as a shock at all. 02:49:08.559 --> 02:49:18.879 The program, which began in October of 2025, uses cameras to issue warnings and citations for speeding violations with a focus on changing driver behavior rather than generating revenue. 02:49:19.120 --> 02:49:29.440 The city

is evaluating 11 additional locations for potential expansion and is also considering implemented implementing an auto, an automated red light enforcement. 02:49:29.600 --> 02:49:31.200 So that's how it started. 02:49:31.360 --> 02:49:34.799 Again, changing behavior, right, rather than revenue. 02:49:35.200 --> 02:49:36.559 They're arguing about revenue. 02:49:36.639 --> 02:49:37.920 I'll get to this in just a moment. 02:49:38.079 --> 02:49:39.440 But how it's going. 02:49:39.840 --> 02:49:44.799 Car involved in deadly Minneapolis crash with semi was carrying teens. 02:49:44.959 --> 02:49:56.639 Seven teenagers were involved in a fatal crash in Minneapolis this week when a stolen Hyundai Elantra that they were st uh when they were struck by a semi-truck and became lodged under its trailer. 02:49:56.879 --> 02:50:00.719 Two 15-year-old boys and a 19-year-old woman were killed. 02:50:00.879 --> 02:50:04.079 Four others sustained serious injury uh injuries. 02:50:04.319 --> 02:50:08.319 The semi-truck driver was unharmed and is cooperating with the investigation. 02:50:08.559 --> 02:50:09.760 Uh, guess what? 02:50:10.719 --> 02:50:17.360 It turns out that the Hyundai Elantra was traveling at a high speed when it collided with the semi around 4 a.m. 02:50:18.559 --> 02:50:22.239 Resulting in the three people dying, four teenagers seriously injured. 02:50:22.879 --> 02:50:24.559 How are the speed cameras going for you? 02:50:25.280 --> 02:50:26.559 Is it changing behavior? 02:50:27.520 --> 02:50:30.479 It means nothing if you don't have a robust police department. 02:50:30.799 --> 02:50:39.760 It means nothing if you continue to go and throw millions of dollars at former gangbangers wearing printed t-shirts that say violence interrupter on them. 02:50:41.440 --> 02:50:42.719 So yeah, go ahead. 02:50:42.799 --> 02:50:45.520 Add all the speed cameras, red light cameras you want. 02:50:46.399 --> 02:50:48.639 And watch as the deaths continue to stack up. 02:50:49.600 --> 02:50:53.440 Because there's communists that are running the show in the city of Minneapolis. 02:50:53.680 --> 02:50:55.360 Uh there was a debate earlier this week. 02:50:55.760 --> 02:51:08.399 The interim police chief says that he had inherited a budget mess, and now they're trying to go and get the necessary funding so they can continue to protect and serve the people of Minneapolis. 02:51:09.280 --> 02:51:14.719 Police leaders are requesting an additional two or$20 million with$13 million allocated for overtime. 02:51:14.879 --> 02:51:19.280 This is to help the department end the 2027 under budget. 02:51:19.440 --> 02:51:31.280 The department acknowledges past overuse of overtime and has implemented new controls, including executive oversight and a tracking dashboard to manage the overtime spending effectively. 02:51:31.440 --> 02:51:37.680 Despite these measures, the city council members remain skeptical about the apartment's ability to stay within budget. 02:51:38.079 --> 02:51:42.079 Lives are being lost, and these clowns are arguing about the budget at this point in time. 02:51:42.319 --> 02:51:47.600 To the police officers who, you know, are trained to actually go and deal with crime. 02:51:51.760 --> 02:51:58.959 In the meantime, the Minneapolis City Council signals that it will require driverless vehicles to have drivers. 02:52:00.799 --> 02:52:05.840 I mean, there is there is stupid, and then there's stupid, and then there's this stupid. 02:52:07.040 --> 02:52:11.520 I'm looking at a version of the story from Dina Winter in the Minnesota Star Tribune today. 02:52:11.680 --> 02:52:17.440 Minneapolis signaled Tuesday that it will require autonomous vehicles to have someone in the driver's seat. 02:52:17.600 --> 02:52:18.879 A first for a U.S. 02:52:19.040 --> 02:52:19.440 city. 02:52:19.600 --> 02:52:24.399 We do so many firsts here in Minneapolis, and it's never a good thing. 02:52:25.120 --> 02:52:27.520 There's a reason why other places don't do this. 02:52:29.920 --> 02:52:31.520 Because you know other places aren't as stupid. 02:52:32.479 --> 02:52:33.760 Just get in, okay? 02:52:33.920 --> 02:52:37.040 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:52:37.200 --> 02:52:38.879 So let's go with those ways. 02:52:39.120 --> 02:52:39.760 The end. 02:52:41.600 --> 02:52:43.600 So what are they actually proposing with this? 02:52:44.399 --> 02:53:06.000 The ordinance authored by council members Robin Wandsley, DSA communist, Jamal Osman, DSA communist, RN Chowdhury, DSA Communist, and Jason Chavez, LGBTQ, DSA communist, would require commercial autonomous vehicles uh companies to obtain a Minnesota license. 02:53:08.639 --> 02:53:15.920 Every commercial robotaxi would have a human safety monitor sitting in the driver's seat. 02:53:16.159 --> 02:53:18.079 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:53:18.399 --> 02:53:21.440 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:53:21.600 --> 02:53:22.959 Just get in, okay? 02:53:23.120 --> 02:53:26.239 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:53:26.399 --> 02:53:28.079 So let's go with those ways. 02:53:28.319 --> 02:53:28.959 The end. 02:53:29.600 --> 02:53:33.280 So that person who would serve as essentially a babysitter. 02:53:34.079 --> 02:53:38.479 That's right, the city of Minneapolis is going to be hiring babysitters. 02:53:38.719 --> 02:53:45.760 Or I should say, these autonomous vehicle companies are going to have to hire babysitters if they want to operate in the city of Minneapolis. 02:53:46.079 --> 02:53:52.000 You'd have to have a valid Minnesota driver's license, so you could be an illegal alien because you can get driver's license if you're illegal. 02:53:52.239 --> 02:53:55.520 Have immediate access to steering, braking, and acceleration controls. 02:53:55.680 --> 02:54:02.559 So that pretty much rules out many of these autonomous vehicle companies because they're not even building those controls in the vehicles anymore.

02:54:02.719 --> 02:54:10.959 And it probably is a wise thing to do in Minneapolis, because if they had those controls, the autonomous vehicles would probably just be stolen and more people would end up dying. 02:54:11.200 --> 02:54:12.239 Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. 02:54:12.319 --> 02:54:14.079 We have those red light cameras and speed cameras. 02:54:14.159 --> 02:54:15.600 That would slow everybody down, right? 02:54:17.440 --> 02:54:19.920 Paid at least an applicable minimum wage. 02:54:20.000 --> 02:54:21.200 What the hell does that mean? 02:54:22.000 --> 02:54:24.079 An applicable minimum wage? 02:54:24.319 --> 02:54:27.680 I don't know about you, but my applicable minimum wage is$100 an hour. 02:54:28.239 --> 02:54:29.120 Why am I going there? 02:54:29.200 --> 02:54:31.520 It's$200, it's$300 an hour. 02:54:34.079 --> 02:54:38.159 Be physically inside the vehicle rather than monitoring remotely. 02:54:38.719 --> 02:54:43.600 Like that I could give you, but I know they're talking about making this argument that they need to take over controls of the vehicles. 02:54:43.840 --> 02:54:44.959 Give me a break. 02:54:46.079 --> 02:54:50.479 The ordinance is scheduled for a potential city council vote on October 1st. 02:54:50.559 --> 02:54:54.319 And if enacted, the requirements would take place on October of 2027. 02:54:56.399 --> 02:54:59.680 Somebody had a written online pushing back on this. 02:55:00.000 --> 02:55:03.840 Compared it to elevator operators resisting automated elevators. 02:55:03.920 --> 02:55:06.479 Yeah, I'm sure that was the thing back in the back in the day. 02:55:06.559 --> 02:55:09.360 Because there used to be individuals, Devon, I don't know if you realize this or not. 02:55:09.520 --> 02:55:13.200 There used to be individuals that were hired to go and operate elevators. 02:55:13.440 --> 02:55:14.399 They would just stand in there. 02:55:14.479 --> 02:55:14.879 Which pair? 02:55:14.959 --> 02:55:15.520 Where would you like to go? 02:55:15.600 --> 02:55:15.760 Here. 02:55:15.840 --> 02:55:16.719 Okay, I'll push the button. 02:55:16.799 --> 02:55:17.120 I don't know. 02:55:17.200 --> 02:55:18.000 I like pushing the button. 02:55:18.559 --> 02:55:20.399 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 02:55:20.719 --> 02:55:23.840 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 02:55:23.920 --> 02:55:25.280 Just get in, okay? 02:55:25.440 --> 02:55:28.639 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 02:55:28.719 --> 02:55:30.479 So let's go with those ways. 02:55:30.639 --> 02:55:31.040 The end. 02:55:31.680 --> 02:55:38.479 Now I'm not familiar enough with autonomous vehicles to voice an opinion of whether or not uh they're safe or not. 02:55:38.639 --> 02:55:49.840 I will say that there's a lot of arguments that are saying that autonomous vehicles are actually safer as long as the uh the conditions outside are are optimal, are actually safer than what you see with Lyft and Uber. 02:55:50.000 --> 02:55:55.680 And I'm not just talking about the assaults and the rapes taking place with the rideshare services where they actually have drivers. 02:55:55.840 --> 02:56:09.760 No, I'm talking about the fact that these autonomous vehicles, in order to even operate in the United States, United States have so many sensors on all of them that they end up being more proactive to the environment around them than any driver could ever be. 02:56:10.159 --> 02:56:36.079 I mean, Monty's not an autonomous vehicle by any stretch of the imagination, but for crying out loud, when Kyle figured out how to work the controls, the automated controls on the car, I realized that we can basically travel across the country on our America 250 2026 road trip with barely having to do anything because Monty would stay in the lane, stay at a particular speed, stay behind a vehicle without tailgating uh them and give me all the indicators to make sure that I don't go and hit anybody. 02:56:36.559 --> 02:56:39.440 Autonomous vehicles go even further than that. 02:56:40.079 --> 02:56:55.360 You know, part of the issue that they're faced with with the autonomous vehicles, and Minnesota currently doesn't have a comprehensive statewide autonomous vehicle law, which opens up the door for these lunatic communists on the Minneapolis City Council to move forward with these bans, which are completely arbitrary. 02:56:55.680 --> 02:56:57.280 They make no sense. 02:56:57.600 --> 02:57:01.200 Like I said, they're not arguing about the things that have merit. 02:57:01.600 --> 02:57:05.280 When do the vehicles operate, what's the weather outside, things like this. 02:57:05.520 --> 02:57:05.840 No. 02:57:06.799 --> 02:57:14.959 They went right to the one thing that they knew would put in a quasi-ban on these vehicles, and that is requiring another person to be in there. 02:57:15.120 --> 02:57:16.319 And at what cost? 02:57:16.479 --> 02:57:24.639 They're sitting there dithering with dollars when it comes to budgeting for law enforcement for crying out loud. 02:57:27.600 --> 02:57:34.319 And yet here they want individuals to be paid to go and sit in these vehicles, the applicable minimum wage. 02:57:36.000 --> 02:57:44.239 Legislation was considered on autonomous vehicles in 2026, but it wasn't enacted in a statewide regulatory framework. 02:57:44.399 --> 02:57:53.360 Scott Dibble, who's working on statewide legislation, has argued that the existing Minnesota law effectively assumes that the person operating the vehicle is a licensed human being. 02:57:53.520 --> 02:57:58.319 Others interpret the absence of an explicit autonomous vehicle prohibition differently. 02:57:58.479 --> 02:58:04.479 So Minneapolis is essentially trying to establish its own rules before the state has gone and settled the issue. 02:58:04.719 --> 02:58:15.360 Now, Minneapolis man, baby, mayor or mom jeans Jacob Fry's position, according to a spokesperson, is that he'll talk with the council but looks to the state to regulate autonomous vehicles.

02:58:15.440 --> 02:58:16.959 Yeah, Bobby Newport again. 02:58:17.520 --> 02:58:19.120 Broken clock is right twice a day. 02:58:19.200 --> 02:58:21.120 He's he's accurate in that assessment. 02:58:21.760 --> 02:58:30.399 The last people that should be making this decision, while I you usually agree with local control, in this case, these are a bunch of communists. 02:58:30.559 --> 02:58:32.399 No, this should be decided at the state level. 02:58:32.959 --> 02:58:39.440 Especially on an issue like this, because it should be applicable across the state, regardless of the locale. 02:58:39.680 --> 02:58:42.079 We should have a uniform understanding of autonomous vehicles. 02:58:42.159 --> 02:58:42.719 And just wait. 02:58:42.799 --> 02:59:13.760 When the next legislative uh session starts next year, I guarantee you there's going to be a move, depending on the outcome of the election, to go and require a babysitter for all these autonomous vehicles, which will basically mean that autonomous vehicles will be banned from the state of Minnesota and they'll probably end up in Iowa traveling around and taking all of the thousands of jobs that have been made available because the Iowa steel plant decided to go and build it there rather than where the ore is actually being mined here in Minnesota. 02:59:14.079 --> 02:59:21.040 The council members are saying that this is needed because autonomous vehicles are new and unregulated. 02:59:21.600 --> 02:59:27.120 Waymo is saying you're creating regulation that makes autonomous vehicles economically impractical. 02:59:28.159 --> 02:59:32.719 And the rideshare drivers, of course, are saying without the regulation, we'll lose our livelihoods. 02:59:32.879 --> 02:59:34.000 Well, too bad, so sad. 02:59:34.239 --> 02:59:36.959 And this goes back to a conversation that I had earlier in the show. 02:59:37.520 --> 02:59:42.959 We shouldn't be stifling innovation simply because that may be safer. 02:59:43.280 --> 02:59:51.360 Safer for the public on the streets, safer for the individuals that are operating in the rideshares, as we've demonstrated. 02:59:51.520 --> 03:00:07.520 They opened up a can of worms with this issue because we discovered that when you look at the data of rideshare, individuals are being assaulted right on down to rape, so many people even being murdered in rideshare vehicles, removing the driver ends up making it safer for everybody else. 03:00:10.079 --> 03:00:28.799 So just because individuals may be losing their jobs in certain areas and certain sectors because of emerging technology doesn't mean we need to go and ban that emerging technology and just go and reference the previous commentary that I did earlier in the show regarding artificial intelligence. 03:00:31.440 --> 03:00:39.680 If the council's stated purpose is safety, then why is the ordinance explicitly framed around protecting Uber and Lyft jobs? 03:00:42.079 --> 03:00:42.479 Right? 03:00:42.799 --> 03:00:50.399 Because the sponsors of

this legislation are openly citing both objectives here, but it's all focused on autonomous vehicles. 03:00:50.559 --> 03:00:50.879 Why? 03:00:51.040 --> 03:00:58.959 Because they are catering to this group that they believe they need to continue to keep in their back pocket when it comes to winning elections. 03:00:59.040 --> 03:01:12.719 Because with ranked choice voting in the city of Minneapolis, it's easy to go and win an election if you're a leftist, as long as you appeal to the right individuals who are going to partake in your ridiculous way of electing officials. 03:01:13.600 --> 03:01:15.840 You know, and then you can use the Waymo. 03:01:16.159 --> 03:01:19.200 You don't know which way they may go or may not go. 03:01:19.360 --> 03:01:20.719 Just get in, okay? 03:01:20.879 --> 03:01:24.000 There's way more ways than the way that you got. 03:01:24.159 --> 03:01:25.920 So let's go with those ways. 03:01:26.159 --> 03:01:26.799 The end. 03:01:28.079 --> 03:01:29.360 The end indeed. 03:01:29.520 --> 03:01:31.760 That brings us to the end of today's show. 03:01:31.840 --> 03:01:32.399 I can't believe it. 03:01:32.399 --> 03:01:32.959 I looked at the clock. 03:01:33.040 --> 03:01:34.879 I'm like, oh my gosh, we're done. 03:01:36.000 --> 03:01:38.159 Thank you so much for spending time with us this morning. 03:01:38.239 --> 03:01:39.760 I hope you had as much fun as I did. 03:01:39.920 --> 03:01:41.600 Friends and foes alike. 03:01:42.239 --> 03:01:43.680 Hope you guys get smarter. 03:01:43.840 --> 03:01:45.920 Open your minds a little bit for crying out loud. 03:01:46.079 --> 03:01:46.879 My gosh. 03:01:47.120 --> 03:01:47.520 All right. 03:01:47.760 --> 03:01:51.760 Before I let you go this morning, a quick shout-out to all of our amazing uh sponsors on the show. 03:01:51.840 --> 03:01:56.079 Specifically, I want to mention uh Neutrawave and Nutrowave.us. 03:01:56.559 --> 03:01:58.319 Take advantage of this amazing program. 03:01:58.399 --> 03:02:03.600 This is the perfect opportunity for you to go and lose the weight before the holidays. 03:02:03.760 --> 03:02:09.920 If you got a full closet and a bunch of clothes that you can't wear anymore, take a look at your pantry as well and look at those ingredients. 03:02:10.239 --> 03:02:10.559 Right? 03:02:10.719 --> 03:02:13.680 Those ingredients means that they're chemicals. 03:02:13.760 --> 03:02:14.399 They're not food. 03:02:14.639 --> 03:02:17.760 When it comes to the program at Nutrowave, it's all about the food. 03:02:18.239 --> 03:02:19.520 Food with one ingredient. 03:02:19.840 --> 03:02:20.479 It's just food. 03:02:20.799 --> 03:02:26.079 You get to eat the food that you want to eat while you lose weight through this 40-day program. 03:02:26.239 --> 03:02:32.000 I've lost over 30 pounds, and I cannot say enough good things about the Nutrawave program. 03:02:32.159 --> 03:02:33.120 Call Dr. 03:02:33.200 --> 03:02:34.000 Bob today. 03:02:34.239 --> 03:02:37.920 Neutrawave and Edyna took
