Episode Overview

This episode of Garage Logic dives into breaking news: the arrest of prominent activists Nekima Levy-Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen following a protest at a St. Paul church connected to ICE operations. The team dissects this incident within the wider context of escalating law enforcement tactics, political posturing, and what they see as the theater of modern Minnesota politics. Throughout, the hosts maintain their trademark wit, skeptical tone, and a mix of irreverence and exasperation at current events in "Gumption County."

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Political Chessboard: Trump, Walz, and Manufactured Controversy

• (02:21) Joe posits that Vice President J.D. Vance is in Minneapolis not just to support "law and order," but possibly as part of a grand political narrative to benefit both the Trump and Walz administrations.
• Quote:

  "I'm thinking this is so arranged between Walz and Trump that they had a secret meeting in an ice fishing house on Gull Lake... 'You send ICE agents here and I'll raise a stink, and that'll get fraud off the table.'"
  — Joe Soucheray (05:58)

• Theme: Deep skepticism about political motives and media manipulation, with frequent jokes about conspiracy theories ("I'm going to wear the tinfoil hat the entire show." (04:01))

2. ICE Enforcement Escalates – Community Fears & Legal Hurdles

• (12:15) Joe describes a local woman, part of a neighborhood watch, being intimidated by ICE agents (citing her own phone video) and how she was guided by Minneapolis Police to avoid confrontation.
• The group highlights heightened tension as ICE’s internal memo removes warrant requirements for home entries and notes a federal court’s shifting legal stance.
• Quote:

  "We didn't have such an ineffective Congress, I'm not sure that could take place… Now [ICE] telling trainees they don't have to have a warrant. Who — they can't make that decision. That's a constitutional decision."
  — Joe Soucheray (16:06)

• Discussion:
  • ICE’s claim that warrants aren’t needed (implications for constitutional rights).
  • Legal whiplash as injunctions against ICE targeting protesters are reversed (17:53).
  • Stress on the public’s confusion and potential overreaction on both sides.

3. The Arrest of Nekima Levy-Armstrong & Chauntyll Allen

• (23:14 & 25:09) Breaking down the protest at the St. Paul church (city’s church on Summit Avenue), led by Nekima and Chauntyll, and arrests by federal agents.
• Quote:

  "They got arrested for that invasion of the church… But…nothing will come of this. Nothing… This is all theater, but it's fun theater like Joe said."
  — Kenny Olson & Joe Soucheray (23:37-23:44)

• Key Analysis:
  • Skepticism that any real consequences will result for the protesters, believing it will only bolster their activist status.
  • Kenny notes protesters may be charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, traditionally used for abortion clinics but also applicable to places of worship (44:03).
  • Quote:

    "They're the happiest two women in the Twin Cities that they got arrested. Yep, because it just rests their case in their estimation."
    — Joe Soucheray (28:29)

  • Noted that other activists (e.g., Donile Emma) were not arrested; personal grievances over local politics and the St. Paul school board.

4. Simulation of Civil Disorder & National Guard Scenarios

• (08:22) The team discusses a University of Pennsylvania simulation — a civil war scenario triggering federal intervention in Minnesota centered on ICE operations.
• Quote:

  "In other words, the National Guard and ICE end up fighting other people. And outlets have done the same thing... say Minnesota is perfect for the start of a civil war."
  — Kenny Olson (10:37)

• The conversation shifts to whether National Guard members would follow orders from the state or federal government, and the gulf between cooperative non-action and actual armed conflict (11:45).

5. Critique of Law Enforcement Image & Uniforms

• (31:59) The team makes light of the ICE chief Bovino’s uniform, especially his "Sam Browne belt", riffing on its origins and visual associations with military/police authority and even Nazi uniforms — all in their typically irreverent tone.
  • Quote:

    "What's with the school patrol belt? …What's it holding? I don't like it."
    — Joe Soucheray (32:28-32:33)

  • Extended banter about police garb, history, and their deliberately non-expert “analysis.”

6. Reflection on Civil Liberties, Media, and Public Trust

• (31:02–32:00) Sharply critical of ICE's expanded warrantless entry powers and the broader erosion of constitutional safeguards.
• Later, they discuss the raised deployment of military police to Minneapolis in response to ongoing tensions (45:39), treating it both with concern and their usual humor.

7. Recurring Segments & Local Color

• Digressions blend local humor (complaining about address and road naming conventions—“call it Barbed Wire Fence Road or something”—(48:40)), school names, and pet peeves about naming conventions for schools/lakes.
• Waffle House banter (19:05-20:11) and breakfast recommendations for VP Vance add to the conversational, relatable feel.

Tone & Style

The episode is ripe with dark humor, old-school skepticism, and a sense of local pride mixed with exasperation about the state of modern politics and public discourse. The hosts frequently joke with and at each other, deploying tangents and personal anecdotes, but always circle back to their main theme: Minnesota feels like ground zero for performative political theater where common sense takes a back seat to spectacle.

---

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

• The Garage Logic crew takes a skeptical, at times cynical, look at high-profile protests, ICE's controversial tactics, and the political gamesmanship they see in Minnesota.
• Irreverence and local color abound; even serious topics are saturated with their tongue-in-cheek, "common sense" philosophy.
• If you’re looking for straight news reporting of the protest and its context, this isn’t the show. If you want a blend of local perspective, playful ribbing, and old-school skepticism, Garage Logic delivers.

Hail the Flashlight King.

[Joe Susherer]

And now from the mayor's office above the boathouse on the east shore of Spoon Lake, it's Garage Logic with Chris Reavers manning technology corner, Kenny Olson from the Crabby coffee shop, John he in the newsroom. And of course the rookie here is your Flashlight King, fireworks commissioner and the keeper of common sense, your mayor, Joe Susherer. J.D. vance is in town. Vice president. We don't know where. Apparently he's. I don't know why he's visiting.

[Eric Lissoff]

When do they release that? Where he do the people?

[Chris Reavers]

Pretty much once he leaves, do the.

[Eric Lissoff]

People where he's going know that he's going there?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

What now?

[Joe Susherer]

He's here to highlight the Trump administration's commitment to restoring law and order in Minneapolis. There it is. I was contacted by a fellow in town who apparently will have an audience with Vance, friend of the show, local mayor.

[Eric Lissoff]

Interesting.

[Joe Susherer]

And he was wondering what would you ask him? And I just texted back.

[John Randall]

Why don't.

[Joe Susherer]

You say something to Vance to The effect that. Look, the more ICE members you put here, the better it is for your political opponents. And two, your administration has managed to create a free pass for Walls when it comes to fraud.

[Chris Reavers]

Did he take you up on that?

[Joe Susherer]

Never responded. Never responded.

[Eric Lissoff]

But especially the second question is a really good question. Why are you letting him take a back seat?

[Joe Susherer]

But let's look at it in a different light. Maybe Walls and Trump have engineered this whole scenario that we're witnessing.

[John]

Wow.

[Joe Susherer]

Huh? Huh?

[Eric Lissoff]

Meaning they secretly got together behind the curtain.

[Joe Susherer]

You're damn right.

[Eric Lissoff]

Hey, guys, we can make this play.

[Joe Susherer]

Out like you wouldn't Here. Let's put the ingredients in there.

[Eric Lissoff]

You got my ear, sir.

[Chris Reavers]

You meaning this is all choreographed? Is that what you're trying to say?

[Joe Susherer]

Could be.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, boy.

[Joe Susherer]

Eric, wait.

[Chris Reavers]

You want to borrow my tinfoil hat? I got it right here.

[Joe Susherer]

No, I'm going to wear it the entire show. Okay. Eric alerted me to this, and I think he's on the right track. Okay, what is in the best interest of both of them.

[Chris Reavers]

Remaining in power?

[Joe Susherer]

Well, the best interest for Trump is to get all news off the Epstein BS removed from the news. Get it out of here. What's in the best interest for Walls? Get all news of fraud removed from the stage. Good for Trump, as the money came from straight from the feds without questioning a thing state and feds to blame. How could we do this? Well, I'd send a platoon of ICE agents, Wallsey. And then when I do, you react with vitriol and we can overtake the national headlines. Wow. Huh? No, it gets better. Now, the flame that lit the gunpowder was the unfortunate killing of Renee Goode. I'd hate to go that far. But it is strange that a person who was under civil rights investigation already happens to still be in service and kill a woman in broad daylight and is able to walk away with no consequences. Hmm. Big picture. Both these guys love stirring stuff up without hypothesizing about the end result. And both are plugged in to the bigger picture, leaving the windows open as to smell the smoke of the riots. I will just take over Greenland no matter how anybody on the world stage thinks. And so on and so on and so on. Too much I don't know anymore. I am no longer surprised by anything due to the depth of BS we are all asked to walk through each day from both sides of the aisle. Honestly, I don't think you could write this bleep up as it seems so outlandish on each side. Please, Lord, deliver us a third party. We Need a festivus for the rest of us. Eric Lissoff. I think Eric's right. I think this is so arranged between Walls and Trump that they had a secret meeting in an ice fishing house on Gull Lake, and they came to an agreement that Wallsey said, look, this fraud stuff's killing me, but there's a way we can handle it. You send ice agents here and I'll raise a stink, and that'll get fraud off the table.

[Eric Lissoff]

Wow.

[Joe Susherer]

Now what's that do for. What's that do for Trump, though? I don't know what it does. Oh, it gets the Epstein stuff off the back. Off the front burner. And so, hey, Wallsey says, Trump says to win. Win. Now, one of them gets a bite and pulls up a fish. They don't know what to do with that. And then they get back in their limousines and go back and they put this into play. You know, Trump's plane came back on its way to Davos initially the other night because they had an electrical failure. I did hear that. Well, you thought it was an electrical failure. That's what they reported. What do you think he had to call walls. There was some important stuff going down and he had to just keep, you know, keep fresh the material. So walls.

[Eric Lissoff]

So he just made up the electrical.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Eric Lissoff]

Listen, Air Force One does not have electrical problems. The latest technology.

[Joe Susherer]

Of course it doesn't. Right.

[John]

It's.

[Joe Susherer]

The plane is greater checked.

[Eric Lissoff]

There's merit to that. And when they de Ice the plane, they didn't spray some poor person on the plane where it got through. Right. It was. It's airtight. They had to make it up.

[Chris Reavers]

Are you two okay?

[Eric Lissoff]

I think that's plausible, don't you think? Air Force One is. Is that. It's the top of its game, Chris.

[Kenny Olson]

You and I being experts at what they're trying to do.

[John]

Right?

[Chris Reavers]

Thank you, Ken.

[Joe Susherer]

Are I. I'm.

[Kenny Olson]

You guys. You need practice.

[Chris Reavers]

Yeah, this is just am.

[Kenny Olson]

Seriously, you two are a couple of amateurs.

[Eric Lissoff]

Start over.

[Kenny Olson]

And you're not pulling it off.

[Joe Susherer]

You know, how about this?

[Chris Reavers]

Here's. No, here's what?

[Kenny Olson]

Let him try. Let him try.

[Chris Reavers]

Kenny's right. You guys are the two knuckleheads trying to go out on St. Patrick's Day, right?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Give me all the Jameson you can handle. Them Both in bed by 6. 45.

[Kenny Olson]

Here we go.

[Chris Reavers]

Chris.

[Kenny Olson]

That was a swing and a miss, but let's see what. What he's got here.

[Joe Susherer]

What's the most surest way possible to foment a civil War in the United.

[Eric Lissoff]

States divide the country.

[Joe Susherer]

Actually, this is real. This is from the University of Pennsylvania.

[Eric Lissoff]

Now I don't know what to think.

[Joe Susherer]

Where researchers at the center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania conducted an experiment, a simulation in which a President orders a widely condemned federal law enforcement operation in a city. To carry out the operation, the simulated president tried to federalize the Pennsylvania National Guard, but the state resisted the National Guard troop. My printer went out. God dang it.

[Eric Lissoff]

Another conspiracy.

[Joe Susherer]

What the hell?

[John]

They're trying to silence you, Joe.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Eric Lissoff]

He will not be silenced.

[Joe Susherer]

Though the early stages of the simulation closely match the brutal events citizens in Minneapolis have experienced at the hands of U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, the model diverges from reality in one key way. Municipal and state officials do not seem interested in attacking ICE agents anytime soon. Though things definitely look hairy in Minnesota, a significant gulf remains between non cooperation and armed resistance from municipal and state service members. Under a 2025 municipal ordinance, for example, Minneapolis police are prohibited from cooperation with ICE agents, though they're also not authorized to interfere in federal enforcement activities. Minnesota Governor Walz has likewise urged protesters not to engage in acts of civil disobedience as he moved to mobilize the National Guard. Then the printer went on.

[John]

Yeah, the paragraph you missed, Joe. Yeah, I just pulled it up. The center for Ethics and Rule of Law said. Yeah, the breakdown of the simulation, the experiment culminates in a violent confrontation between the state and the federal troops who are pulled out. So in other words, the National Guard and ICE end up fighting other people.

[Kenny Olson]

And outlets have done the same thing, and they say Minnesota is perfect for the start of a civil war.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, wouldn't the Guard, though, have to be loyal to one side or the other to. To pull this off? For example, if the National Guard was loyal to federal troops, you don't have a civil war.

[John]

Correct.

[Joe Susherer]

But if the Guard would have to be loyal to Minnesota. Right.

[Kenny Olson]

You have to make a number of assumptions and hold fast to them.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, and I would hope we're not facing that. But it's interesting to know that in the failed academy, they can't create these simulations fast enough. They're all working to wonder what would happen if the Minnesota National Guard threw down its weapons and sided with the Feds. Well, then you don't have a civil war. If the National Guard comes to Minneapolis and starts shooting cannons at the Feds, you got a civil war.

[Eric Lissoff]

So who do the National Guard represent at all?

[Joe Susherer]

They represent the interests of Minnesota, but they're an Adjunct military force in service to the country, but they happen to be available to Minnesota for, you know, tornadoes and blizzards.

[Eric Lissoff]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

And the simulations are taking the human factor out of it that the people in the Guard are going to blindly follow and do as they're told. I guess blindly follow is a poor choice of words. Just do as they are told would be a better choice.

[Joe Susherer]

I know a woman and I know her story to be true. I saw her telephone film of it. She was driving in her neighborhood yesterday. I know her well enough to know that she was perfectly well following an ICE agent. This isn't the story you're thinking about, but she was, to her defense, at least in her neighborhood where she's part of the neighborhood watch group. You know, these, these 40 year olds are putting together these neighborhood watch groups and she was in her neighborhood and she was going home, but she was behind an ice vehicle that apparently had had enough of her being there and stopped. And they got out of their vehicle with their guns out. Now, she's not going to hurt anybody. She doesn't have a gun. And she then called Minneapolis police and you could hear the conversation she was having with him because she put it on speakerphone and Minneapolis police was guiding her through this. Leave your windows rolled up. You don't have to say anything. Don't, you know, don't cause it. Just sit there. And they came to the window of her car and peered in. She didn't say anything. You can still hear the Minneapolis police officer saying, you just, just be calm. Just sit there. And sure enough, they went away. Only for this same woman to get home and discover the ICE people were there photographing her house and her address, which clearly was an indication of intimidation. They wanted her to know. They wanted her to know where they knew where she lived. And I don't think that's appropriate.

[Chris Reavers]

Sorry. You're not above the rules.

[Joe Susherer]

Everyone I know. Come on now.

[Chris Reavers]

Come on.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, that's a pretty timely, isn't it?

[Eric Lissoff]

What were you talking about?

[Joe Susherer]

No, I'll put it out there on the table. Was that fair play on the part of ice?

[Kenny Olson]

That happening yesterday is interesting because the law changed halfway through the day yesterday.

[Joe Susherer]

It did.

[Kenny Olson]

And we should probably talk about what happened there.

[Chris Reavers]

But let me, I'm gonna say the same thing to you right now that I did before the show. Why do people constantly put themselves in this position?

[Kenny Olson]

Let's, you know, that's the big.

[Joe Susherer]

I can answer that. I can answer that. All of this is seen. We've explored this before. All of this is seen as anti Trump. That woman sees an ICE vehicle, she sees Trump. This is all Trump hatred, which is prevalent in Minnesota, which is why the Trump administration does not realize how much they're ruining this for Minnesotans who don't want Walls to continue his fraudulent government. Because they're gonna. They're guaranteeing Walls could re emerge and say, I've decided to run again, and he'd be carried through the streets on somebody's shoulder.

[Chris Reavers]

And I guarantee that's gonna happen.

[John]

Do you think, Joe, that any of this is related to ICE's actions? It's just related to how they feel about Trump. Because conversations I have, people don't like ice's actions. They could care less about Trump one way or the other.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, I'm, I'm reasonably confident that the woman I'm discussing why I think both answers would apply to her. She first and foremost would be a virulent anti Trump believer, but she also is believing that Trump is. That that ICE has misbehaved significantly.

[John]

And we talked off the air about the memo from ICE yesterday where they basically said, we don't need warrants.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, they don't need a warrant. How did they. They can't make up. If we didn't have such an ineffective Congress, I'm not sure that could take place.

[John]

Yeah, I don't know how it can.

[Joe Susherer]

How can you just decide arbitrarily that. Well, in our training, we're now telling trainees they don't need a warrant. And what happened is a whistleblower in ICE training released that news, only to have ICE have to admit that, yes, we're now telling trainees they don't have to have a warrant. Well, who. They can't make that decision. That's a constitutional decision.

[Kenny Olson]

Discussed in depth yesterday on Crappy Coffee.

[Joe Susherer]

Shop, which I highly recommend. They had a former ICE agent in the studio.

[Chris Reavers]

It was really good.

[Joe Susherer]

I met him.

[Kenny Olson]

And things got complicated yesterday because earlier in the week, I think it was four or five days ago now, U.S. district Judge Katherine Menendez had issued an injunction prohibiting ICE from arresting, detaining, using force against protesters, including people like your friend that are following. And then late yesterday, around 3, 4 o', clock, an appeals court in the 8th Circuit reversed that lower court's temporary order. So things are back to normal. It's interesting, we were reading it yesterday, and the verbiage surrounding the people following was something along the lines, I don't know, maybe you remember, Chris, a reasonable distance.

[Chris Reavers]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

Or an appropriate distance. One of those. One of those. Words.

[Chris Reavers]

It was a word that. Subjective maybe, but it was left it open for interpretation.

[John]

Exactly.

[Chris Reavers]

Exactly, yes.

[Joe Susherer]

So you're telling me that if this woman did that today, they might very well have ordered her out of the car and whipped her out to the Whipple House. Correct. Right.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, that's a. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your point is made.

[Joe Susherer]

That's because I know someone.

[Kenny Olson]

Juicy way of saying it.

[Joe Susherer]

I know someone personally who I've instructed saying, look, here's the deal. If you end up at the Whipple House, I have never heard of you. I don't know you. I will say I have been harassed, that you've been using my name. Don't. Don't ask me a thing. I've never heard of you. I don't want anything to do with it.

[Chris Reavers]

How was that message received?

[Joe Susherer]

Not well. Not, not well.

[John]

With a gesture.

[Chris Reavers]

Why?

[Joe Susherer]

It was just a gesture I made. What's the big deal? I said, you know the way things operate. Why don't you just ignore that and.

[Chris Reavers]

Head to your destination.

[Joe Susherer]

Head to your place of business or wherever you're going and. Because if you end up at the Waffle House. I'm not in Waffle House. Whipplehouse.

[Chris Reavers]

Well, if she ended up at the Waffle House, we got a different set of deals going on here.

[Joe Susherer]

Hands down, maybe the worst restaurant in the country.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, come on.

[Kenny Olson]

Are you serious?

[Joe Susherer]

Waffle House.

[Kenny Olson]

You hate fun.

[Joe Susherer]

It's not fun.

[Chris Reavers]

Let me tell you something right now.

[Kenny Olson]

It's the best fun you can have in our.

[Joe Susherer]

I only been to one. I should say that it was in.

[Kenny Olson]

Florida, especially two in the morning.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, I was in one.

[Joe Susherer]

Maybe they're great.

[Kenny Olson]

I would send my alarm.

[Joe Susherer]

That was not great, Joe.

[Kenny Olson]

I would set my alarm to go to 1 at 2 in the morning. That's how fun.

[Chris Reavers]

Kenny, get out of my head. I stayed somewhere. It was at Tennessee on one of my dum dum runs. And I said, well, there's a Waffle House a mile away. I'm going to set my alarm for 1:30 in the morning just to go get some waffles and bacon.

[Joe Susherer]

Can I ask you something? Are there. Are they here in Minnesota?

[Chris Reavers]

No, I think that. How far north do we go? Is it Ohio? I have no idea, Joe.

[Kenny Olson]

It's like walking into a David lynch movie.

[Joe Susherer]

It really is fun. But the waffles weren't very good.

[Kenny Olson]

That's not the point.

[Chris Reavers]

Gives a damn.

[Joe Susherer]

You're there for the theater. You're there for the theater. And the sausage Pat Patties left something to be desired I wouldn't.

[Kenny Olson]

I wouldn't even nibble one.

[Chris Reavers]

Are you a patty or link guy?

[Joe Susherer]

I like a patty.

[Chris Reavers]

I go link.

[Joe Susherer]

I can. I can go either way, but I prefer a patty.

[Chris Reavers]

You know, speaking of it, Rook, what would you say to J.D. vance? Where should he go to grab a bite? As long as he's in town. I'm surprised you didn't give recommendations.

[Eric Lissoff]

Well, yeah, quick trip if he wants to get in and get out quick. But MK Vietnam MKV at. They don't serve breakfast though. Oh, but he's got to get the egg rolls at MKV yet. And the. The sesame chicken for sure.

[Kenny Olson]

Can we get back to Reavers breakfast wise?

[Joe Susherer]

Keys? Keys.

[Eric Lissoff]

Downtown or wood fire Grill?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, keys.

[Kenny Olson]

They're still around. Oh yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Yummy.

[Eric Lissoff]

Sure.

[Joe Susherer]

Yummy.

[Kenny Olson]

[Joe Susherer]

Oh yeah, no, I'm here.

[John Randall]

Okay.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Yep.

[Joe Susherer]

He pointed at me. I didn't know what I was doing and let's go to the town Nakima has been arrested. Huh?

[Eric Lissoff]

Nakimi Nakima Nakima Levy Armstrong Pounds I.

[Joe Susherer]

Think Armstrong I'm sorry, I I. Is this the first example I think that's amusing.

[Chris Reavers]

Is this the first example of someone finally facing consequences?

[Joe Susherer]

They're not gonna Nothing will come of this. Nothing will come.

[Kenny Olson]

This is all theater but it's fun theater like Joe said.

[Joe Susherer]

But I, I was very amused also that only two people got arrested. The left wing radical Nakima Levy Armstrong and her pal Chantill Allen. Chantill Allen has been a burr in my saddle for years. She's a school board member in St. Paul, which is a just a shame in and of itself. But she again she was noted for trying to start a race war at a Japanese restaurant a couple years ago, calling all her friends to come over and join her to complain about the poor server who was trying to wait on him and they complained about having to move to a different table or whatever it was. But Chantill Allen is offers nothing to the public and anyway she and Nakima got they got arrested for that invasion of the church. Sunday the city's church and Pam Bondi announced today that the U.S. customs and now why would they be arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement? I guess that's who Pam happens to have in town. Oh also and FBI agents they arrested Nakima and Chantill and she's listed as a clerk at the St. Paul Board of Education.

[Kenny Olson]

Unfortunately this is going to among their crowd make them look like martyrs and will be a wonderful thing to denote on their resumes.

[Joe Susherer]

That's right.

[Kenny Olson]

Unless there's they follow through with the prosecution. But I don't see this having any.

[Joe Susherer]

Legs invading a place of worship. Isn't that the kind of thing they the kind of ideology that they accuse the administration of in Other words, it's dreadful to invade a place of worship.

[Eric Lissoff]

Yes, that's the belly of the snake.

[Joe Susherer]

And they shouldn't have done that. And they won't suffer any consequences for this theatrical arrest. But it's interesting to note that it was noted.

[Kenny Olson]

And what law are they. They're using a law about invading abortion clinics and it's slipping my mind right now. And that's what they're standing on. There should be a law against doing this, period. Against a church. A church of any kind. I know it's unwritten code not to mess with a church while service is.

[Joe Susherer]

In progress, but I didn't know this either. Roughly 30 to 40 protesters walked into the church. That was probably more than. We're on hand of worship.

[Eric Lissoff]

Well, the pastor at first was going, oh, we're going to have a good offertory today, huh?

[Joe Susherer]

Sad basket, baby. We need a new furnace.

[Kenny Olson]

You did that story yesterday about that Hennepin county prosecutor's employee.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, he was there. Jamal somebody. He's. He's running for Senate, District 65. He's married to a St. Paul city councilwoman. So this.

[Kenny Olson]

Jesus.

[Joe Susherer]

Name me the city council.

[Kenny Olson]

Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

[Joe Susherer]

Bowie. What's her first name? Bowie.

[Kenny Olson]

David.

[Joe Susherer]

No, no something Bowie. She's one of the Democratic socialists. She isn't, but maybe she's a rock ribbed Republican.

[John]

Good one.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, she's married to this clown in Minneapolis who pretends to have a job with Moriarty, and he's running to replace Sandy Pappas. He's going to run to replace Sandy Pappas.

[Chris Reavers]

It's just one giant.

[Joe Susherer]

There really is no hope at all, no hope at all for any common sense politics to. To govern the metro area. None whatsoever. It's just. We're done. It's over. Why are we doing this when it's over? It's done.

[Chris Reavers]

Because it's making us money.

[Joe Susherer]

No, not for long.

[John]

I was thinking. Chris. Thanks.

[Joe Susherer]

Not for long.

[John]

What?

[Joe Susherer]

What's going to be left of advertised?

[Chris Reavers]

You know, you mentioned the.

[Kenny Olson]

This is going under.

[Chris Reavers]

The other day you mentioned the decline of. What was it? The gdp. What was it? Minnesota.

[Joe Susherer]

Minnesota GDP is a serious decline compared to the rest of the country. And you're electing people that don't give a hoot about that.

[Chris Reavers]

And the further it continues to go, the more these idiots are going to double and triple and quadruple down on this nonsense.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, getting back to.

[Chris Reavers]

I gotta elect new Democrats to fix this problem.

[Joe Susherer]

Getting back to Nekima and Chantill. Okay, again, Nothing will come of it. I doubt they're even still in jail, if they were ever in jail in the first place. But it'll certainly, certainly bolster their public image in the Twin Cities. They probably were the happiest people in the Twin Cities that they got arrested. Yep, because it just rests their case in their estimation. Look what these evil people are doing to us merely because we point out that ICE is misbehaving. Look what they've done. They've arrested us. They're the happiest two women in the town. In fact, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything yet. Have we heard anything from Nekima? I don't think they let Chantillo talk.

[Eric Lissoff]

I have texted her, but I've not heard back.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, we did invite her on the show today. Yes, but you know damn well she's not going to. Yes, one time she almost came on. She almost. Something changed her mind. There was actually a point in the last five or six years where I remember saying she and I agreed on something. I can't remember what that was.

[Eric Lissoff]

I don't remember what it was, but I do recall that as well, we.

[Joe Susherer]

Agreed on something which shocked both of us probably.

[Kenny Olson]

They did decide to not arrest Donile Emma.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, I would have arrested him just on principle. You know, you're in town, Don. We're going to arrest you. You're not doing anything anyway. What the hell?

[Chris Reavers]

I apologize because I wasn't here Monday. Did you guys address that before he did the interview with her? He gave her the nice big giant hug.

[Joe Susherer]

Did the interview with who?

[Chris Reavers]

Nakima.

[Joe Susherer]

I did not know that.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, I thought you guys saw that.

[Joe Susherer]

There's nothing wrong with the hug.

[Eric Lissoff]

They embraced.

[Chris Reavers]

Well, you know, he was. He was going to perform that critical, hard hitting, completely objective interview with Nakima. But right before that, you know, they had to embrace.

[Joe Susherer]

Hey, how you doing?

[Eric Lissoff]

Good to see you. How you doing, tiger?

[Joe Susherer]

Don was so bad, he couldn't even make it on cnn. So that's tough.

[Chris Reavers]

That tells you we gotta let you go.

[Joe Susherer]

We gotta let you go.

[Chris Reavers]

Don, you know what he was? He was CNN's speed bump.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, even by CNN standards, he was so over the top that they. They had the latest from the Twin Cities. Well, we've got J.D. we've covered that. He's in town to visit ICE agents.

[Eric Lissoff]

Did Christie leave? Kristi Noem leave? Or she's still.

[Joe Susherer]

I don't know.

[Eric Lissoff]

Okay.

[Joe Susherer]

There's a crackdown. Widening in Maine. Are you wonder. Are you funny?

[Kenny Olson]

I was just reading about that right now. As you're speaking about it, where a.

[Joe Susherer]

Sizable Somali population is now the latest target of the administration's turbocharged coast to coast immigration operations ICE directives are under fire. Federal agents are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people's homes without a warrant. I oppose that. That's terrible.

[Eric Lissoff]

So we got a surge in Maine.

[Joe Susherer]

You got a surge.

[John]

Okay. Do we? Do we? I forget.

[Joe Susherer]

Surge has reached Foghorn. Almost.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Joe Susherer]

According to internal ICE memos obtained by the ap, we can. We can just knock. We don't even knock here. We're here. And we don't need a warrant, so good luck to you. It's. What's happening now is pretty much the end of the world, isn't it? Huh.

[Kenny Olson]

I guess it probably is. In your house pretty damn close.

[Joe Susherer]

The little guy who runs ice. Bovino?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Eric Lissoff]

You get a read on him?

[Chris Reavers]

What do you.

[Eric Lissoff]

What's your read on him?

[Joe Susherer]

Well, I don't want to go too far, but I don't like the color of his uniform. It's. But. But more than that, there was something about his uniform that. That caught my eye.

[Eric Lissoff]

I know what it is.

[John]

I know what it is.

[Joe Susherer]

Okay, take a guess. What is it?

[Chris Reavers]

John?

[Eric Lissoff]

You go first.

[John]

It's the belt that goes across.

[Joe Susherer]

Thank you, John.

[Chris Reavers]

The school patrol belt.

[Joe Susherer]

What's with the school patrol belt?

[Chris Reavers]

Yes. Yes.

[Eric Lissoff]

That's the first thing I saw and thought of.

[Joe Susherer]

I don't need that belt there.

[Eric Lissoff]

What's it holding?

[Joe Susherer]

I don't like it.

[Chris Reavers]

Snacks. Maybe it's a snack belt.

[Eric Lissoff]

Well, the school patrol belt, you had your badge. You. You'd put your badge on the belt that went across. But he. He's got it.

[Joe Susherer]

It's almost like it's suspenders or something.

[Eric Lissoff]

I. I didn't. It was. It was weird.

[John]

It was.

[Kenny Olson]

What are those called?

[Chris Reavers]

Well, it's immerse. Maybe it's a nurse.

[Eric Lissoff]

Maybe you have a merse, but I've.

[Joe Susherer]

Never seen it on other law enforcement agents. It's just this. It's glaring.

[Kenny Olson]

Called a bandolier.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, it's glaringly obvious. And I. What is its purpose? Continue your research, Kenny. What does it signify?

[Kenny Olson]

It's called a bandler. Okay, I have one, but I've. It's loaded. It's about 6012 gauge shells.

[Chris Reavers]

I was gonna say it's Rambo style.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm ready for a party. Yours serves a purpose. I actually go to bed with that on, so I sleep with it on.

[John]

The Sam Brown belt. A leather belt with supporting strap passes over the right shoulder, worn by military and police officers named after Samuel Brown, 1824-1901. The British Indian army general who invented it. And this probably says more about me than it does about anything, but the first thing I thought when I saw it, all the Nazi officers wore it.

[Chris Reavers]

John, you just stole my question.

[Joe Susherer]

But this, what you're reading, John claims that many law enforcement will officials wear it. I've never seen it on anyone except Bovino.

[Eric Lissoff]

Do you think late at night he only wears the belt when Mrs. Bovino was around?

[Joe Susherer]

I don't know that, Matt.

[John]

It was. It was very popular. Hitler had one all the time. It was a very popular Nazi appendage to the uniform. That's when I first saw it.

[Joe Susherer]

Of course, I've always been loathed to. To. To fall back on the Hitler B.S. but you know, I'd get rid of.

[Eric Lissoff]

The brown belt if the shoe fits.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[John]

You wore the long coat too, the other day, which was weird. Did you see that?

[Joe Susherer]

Was it leather?

[John]

Is it a long coat with the collar up?

[Chris Reavers]

Was that what he said when he walked in? He said, why the long coat?

[Eric Lissoff]

Hey, now when he walks into the. Does a Darth Vader theme play?

[Joe Susherer]

Was it leather? I don't think it was leather.

[John]

No, I think it was cloth.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wear one left over from the Hogan's Heroes.

[Kenny Olson]

I wear one around the house wearing nothing else but the bandolier.

[Eric Lissoff]

Two in high school.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, for Christ's sake.

[Eric Lissoff]

What's up?

[Joe Susherer]

I'm praying. I'm praying. Gabriel just showed a picture of himself in high school with the sam Brown belt.

[Eric Lissoff]

He has blonde hands and blue eyes.

[Chris Reavers]

Was that a St. Thomas thing?

[Joe Susherer]

ROTC.

[Chris Reavers]

ROTC, that's right. That's right.

[Joe Susherer]

I was a high ranking position, so you get that if you're a.

[Eric Lissoff]

Okay.

[Kenny Olson]

I had a kid and your own father making fun of you that I.

[Joe Susherer]

Had a kid in our.

[Kenny Olson]

He had to pay for it.

[Joe Susherer]

Who wasn't high ranking because he never had that. Yeah, well, my dad didn't either, so.

[Kenny Olson]

Was your nickname. Was his nickname Flounder?

[Eric Lissoff]

I remember him coming home that day. I said, what's up, Eisenhower?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[John]

Now this is interesting. Oh, about it.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[John]

General Sir Samuel James Brown was a 19th century British Indian army officer who lost his left arm to a sword.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh.

[John]

It was cut off. So he started wearing the belt, a supplementary belt that hooked onto his waist belt with D rings so that if he needed to get to his sword or gun, whatever, it would hold everything up where he could just grab it.

[Joe Susherer]

I see.

[John]

Which is kind of Interesting.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, I thought I'm going to start.

[Kenny Olson]

Wearing mine to work.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, in other words, the belt seems to have an honest origin and necessary origin.

[Chris Reavers]

What was the name?

[Joe Susherer]

John Sam Brown.

[John]

Sir Samuel General Sir Samuel James Brown.

[Chris Reavers]

Gotcha. Okay.

[John]

God Almighty.

[Chris Reavers]

No Sam Brown.

[John]

Oh.

[Chris Reavers]

Go to the ghetto.

[Joe Susherer]

You want to do one of these? Yeah. Do you want to do one of these?

[Chris Reavers]

I'd love to, Joe, but not before I tell everybody about the fine folks at North. I got my pullover on Banking Company. You do. You're sporting the team colors. Hold on, hold on. Let me, let me do this. Look at rookie's shirt from North American Banking Company.

[Kenny Olson]

Positive Thursday is brought to us by Schoonover Body Works and Auto Care. They're inshores view at 1060 County Road E. As usual, Mike Schoonover is here. Hi, Mike.

[John Randall]

Hey, Kenny.

[Kenny Olson]

So Bob in Falcon Heights sent a wonderful email detailing his recent experience with you guys. And I've got to say, Bob's predicament couldn't have been more clustered. How complicated? The short version is his bride had an unfortunate run in with a sign, dented the passenger door and scraped up the right front fender.

[Joe Susherer]

Right.

[Kenny Olson]

Not a big deal. Right? You're with me so far. I am. It was his wife's fault. They admitted it and they knew their insurance company would be paying for the repairs. But then a few days later, a hoople had sideswiped him, did the same kind of damage on the captain's side, dent in the door, scrape on the fender. In this case, it was the Hoopleheads insurance company that would be responsible for the damages. So now you've got two insurance companies, Mike, that you're dealing with with the same vehicle. But I want to let Bob. I want to read some of the email here. Bob says Schoonover is coordinating everything with both insurance companies and timing it all out so my vehicle will be done with both sides from the separate incidents, ready for paint at the same time, efficiently and with my satisfaction in mind, of course, not with the insurance companies. And get this, they are also setting me up with a new set of tires. I needed them while the vehicle is in their shop, taking care of an unrelated future hassle from me. Communication from my service person, Matthew, has been fast and consistent, keeping me posted along the way. Even hooked me up with a service colleague. That being Quinn, who helped select some cool tires. Bob concludes with Schoonover is the place to go if you want to hand over your issue or issues to smart and capable folks who will solve your problems and vaporize the associated hassle. He really loves you guys. Mike. You really knocked it out of the park for Bob.

[John Randall]

Well, that's fantastic. That's good.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, you know what, Kenny?

[John Randall]

That's kind of what we do. We're problem solvers. It's not just fixing cars. It's helping people. Whether they need air in their tires.

[Kenny Olson]

Or they get, you know, smoked on.

[John Randall]

The left side and the right side.

[Kenny Olson]

Or some hoopla head does something silly to them and then they got to deal with insurance. That's what we do. So.

[John Randall]

And we love doing it.

[Joe Susherer]

It's.

[Kenny Olson]

It's just serving people. And that's really what we. We really do enjoy doing, that you guys do it well. Moral of the story there, Schoon over Body works and AutoCare. 1060 County Roadie in Shoreview. The place to go. I mean, seriously, if you're in the Metro, don't even consider going anywhere else. No matter what your insurance company tells you. They do it all and they do it well. The best in Gumption County. That's why you guys are the official shop of garagelogic on the web. Schoonoverbodyworks.com thank you, Michael.

[John Randall]

Thanks, Kenny. Thanks, jailers. Everybody stay warm.

[Joe Susherer]

Fine. Wait a minute. I can do this.

[Chris Reavers]

You Got it.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, shoot.

[Chris Reavers]

Here's a guy that can't skate backwards.

[Joe Susherer]

I lost it. It. I lost the whole page. Here's Johnny Height.

[John]

Thanks, Joe. This news is brought to you by North American Banking Company. I keep doing research on this belt. It's fascinating. Fellas.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[John]

John Pershing. Remember General Pershing?

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, sure.

[John]

He. He was a big fan of it and wanted his officers to wear it all the time. And then it caused a problem because the Army Chief of staff, General Peyton March, disliked it intensely. He put out a note saying, there is no authority for wearing of this belt within the limits of the U not be worn. That was in 1917.

[Joe Susherer]

But.

[John]

But there are many, many articles about these. Sam Brown.

[Joe Susherer]

So Bovino, we could say, comes by the belt honestly. It's. It doesn't have an insidious.

[John]

It's. The British started it and it was very popular with the British and that's where it was adopted.

[Kenny Olson]

All from there.

[Joe Susherer]

All right.

[Chris Reavers]

Big announcement. Joe's going to wear a belt.

[Eric Lissoff]

Here's Johnny hugging with news.

[John]

Thanks, Rook. In news. We talked about this a little bit. Federal authorities have arrested two of the people connected to an anti immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a church service Sunday in St. Paul. U.S. attorney General Pam Bondi announcing this morning that U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement and FBI agents arrested Nakima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney who helped organize the protest. Minutes later, Bondi announced Chantill. Louisa Allen was also arrested. She's listed as the clerk of the St. Paul Board of Education. Protest happened at city's church on Summit Avenue Sunday as about 30 to 40 protesters walked into the church during the service. Around 1040. They're protesting a pastor at the church who is also believed to serve as a local ICE official. The U.S. department of justice announced its intent to investigate the protest. Still unclear what crime Levy Armstrong or any protesters would be held on. The North American Mission Board, which is associated with the church, said that what occurred was not a protest. It was lawless harassment. Others say the protest was protected by free speech.

[Joe Susherer]

Do you think the administration is aware that there's no more. There's not a better state in the union to have everything they do backfire than Minnesota.

[Eric Lissoff]

I haven't thought about that.

[John Randall]

You're right.

[Joe Susherer]

Everything they do will backfire in Minnesota. If they were doing it in Texas, for example, or Florida, probably would not backfire. Everything they say or do will backfire. Here.

[Kenny Olson]

Doesn'T. I have information here. The feds were considering charging the protesters under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances act. The Face act prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to entire intimidate or in fear with a person seeking now here's where it gets complicated. Seeking to reproductive health services or seeking to participate in a service at a house of worship. So that might fit the bill.

[Joe Susherer]

I still say nothing will come of it.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, it's I, I would agree with that.

[John]

And as we talked about, federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people's homes without a judge's warrant. That according to an internal memo Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo, an ICE memo that marks a sharp reversal of long standing guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches. The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal move that advocates say collides with fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities. The U.S. army has now ordered several dozen additional active duty soldiers to get ready for a possible deployment to Minneapolis if needed. The defense officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that members of the Army Military Police brigade who are stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina have been given prepared to deploy orders. If deployed, the troops would likely offer support to civil authorities in Minneapolis, according to the official, who stressed that such standby orders are issued regularly. They do not necessarily mean that about or that troops would end up going. About 1500 active duty soldiers from a different division based in Alaska have also received similar standby orders.

[Joe Susherer]

And I'll bet you 100 bucks if they get deployed they would be ordered a parachute in. I'll bet you 100 bucks you think for little theater. Mm.

[Chris Reavers]

You know, if it does get enacted, wouldn't this be the right weekend to do it when she's well you'd lose about 15 people, 50 below zero, you.

[Joe Susherer]

Know, and it's so windy the parachuters would blow away right on the river. They'd land down in Iowa somewhere.

[John]

Land in Kenny's backyard.

[Eric Lissoff]

If I had $100 that was expendable, I would take take your bet.

[Joe Susherer]

You don't think they'll parachute in?

[Chris Reavers]

No, he's saying broke.

[Eric Lissoff]

I just know I don't have $100.

[John]

A seven year old Zimmerman girl who was reported missing last night is safe and a suspect is in custody, according to authorities. The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office said the girl was seen just before 4pm after she got off the school bus near the 26,000 block of 13th Street West. However, she then disappeared, prompting an Amber Alert. The Sheriff's office added a black car had been spotted following the bus, but investigators were immediately not clear if the girl got into the car or not and if the car was related to her disappearance at all. Turns out it wasn't. Law enforcement asked everyone in the area to check their property and any security footage for any sign of the girl. At around 1:30 this morning, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension announced the girl had been found safe and a suspect taken into custody. Albert Lee police say they were notified just after 12:30 that a vehicle was possibly connected to the Amber Alert was headed south on I35. Officers responded, confirmed the 70 year old girl was inside the vehicle. She was brought to safety while 28 year old Joseph Andrew Bragg from Maple Grove was arrested. Jail records show Bragg was booked for alleged kidnapping shortly after 1 in the morning. The girl taken to a hospital for evaluation, then reunited with her family. Authorities this morning said it's believed that this was a stranger abduction but that there was a tie to the girl on social media.

[Joe Susherer]

Good Lord. Dear God.

[John]

Police say the incident highlights the importance of interagency coordination.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, thank God. That are we do conclude that she wasn't harmed, correct? Apparently. Can I tell you something else wrong with that story? Read the first paragraph again. Give me the address. The vague address.

[John]

I know what you're gonna say. 26,000 block of 13th Street.

[Joe Susherer]

See that should be called Corn Cob Trail, Witch, Windjammer Way. Where is it? Zimmerman. Yeah, yeah. There's no such thing as 26,000 block of 13th Avenue. That should. That should give me four digits, right? Give me. Give me something charming to indicate that you're not part of the sustainable urban core.

[Chris Reavers]

That's what bothers you with the story?

[Joe Susherer]

No, I said that's one of the problems.

[Eric Lissoff]

Oh, 26,000th block, 26,000.

[Joe Susherer]

That's on it.

[Kenny Olson]

By the moon.

[Joe Susherer]

No, call it, you know, Pine Way. Barbed wire fence, road or something.

[Eric Lissoff]

Stay off that one.

[John]

Well, wait a minute now. See, I live on an avenue, but my house number is in the 13,000.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, that's terrible. It shouldn't be. There shouldn't be that many houses.

[Chris Reavers]

There should be a limit.

[Joe Susherer]

There should be a limit. You shouldn't even have that high of a number.

[Eric Lissoff]

You're over there. 13999on Birch Way, Right, John, that's it.

[John]

Yeah.

[Eric Lissoff]

Okay, good.

[Chris Reavers]

Can I bring up something that I probably gonna regret? Is it better or worse that it doesn't seem like they knew each other?

[Joe Susherer]

There's this vague clue there of a social media hint. I have no Idea how a 7 year old would be involved in social media.

[Chris Reavers]

I guess that's where I was leaning towards, like. So this creeper just stuck.

[Eric Lissoff]

But hats off to whoever said there's a black sedan following up. Somebody saw something suspicious.

[Chris Reavers]

That car had nothing to do with it.

[John]

Yeah, it wasn't a black sedan. It actually was a white pickup.

[Eric Lissoff]

See, there you go. It's a conspiracy. Painted it white.

[Joe Susherer]

Thank you.

[Eric Lissoff]

And change the format of the car.

[Joe Susherer]

Spray painted the truck.

[Eric Lissoff]

This guy was very forward.

[John]

The Friday games and Thursday's welcome party for the U.S. pond Hockey Championship have been canceled due to the extreme cold. The winds are expected to die down the rest of the weekend. Team captains will be able to vote on one format the rest of the championship will take. They said we'll share the updated schedule as soon as voting is completed. The tournament was canceled back in 2024, but that time it was canceled because of warm weather melting all the ice.

[Joe Susherer]

I only have one question.

[John]

Yes, sir?

[Joe Susherer]

Will the catastrophic storm that will cause trees to explode affect Denver? That's all I want to know. Because Denver's been just lovely the past few days.

[Chris Reavers]

I thought you looked up the weather.

[Joe Susherer]

I didn't look today. Here I'll do right now. Everybody would just mock me if I looked it up.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, Joe, we wouldn't do it.

[Joe Susherer]

No, I think you would.

[Chris Reavers]

We're above that.

[Kenny Olson]

Joe.

[Joe Susherer]

Only you today. What do I care about today? It's Thursday.

[Chris Reavers]

I know, but Sunday, I can, like, do the long range forecast. Saturday. Wait, no. Sunday, 21 degrees for a daytime high. No precipitation expected.

[John]

Just chilly.

[Eric Lissoff]

Yeah.

[John]

And a new music festival in St. Paul's been announced for later this summer, promising a weekend of entertainment for country, folk and roots and Americana music lovers. Details about the festival, though, are scarce at this point. No announcements about who will perform or when tickets will be available. The music festival says it'll be taking place at Harriet island regional park on July 10th and 11th. An announcement made in tandem with the Minnesota Yacht Club, which will host its yacht Club festival the week after.

[Joe Susherer]

I think it's strange, John, that they announce this but have no acts in mind.

[John]

Mind. It's very weird at this point.

[Kenny Olson]

Define roots, John. What is your definition? Definition?

[John]

Definition.

[Kenny Olson]

It's like a definition of roots music.

[John]

I think with what they said, they cover a lot of ground there. Like if you go to perhaps the outlaw country station on SiriusXM, some acts. From there, you'd hear some country acts that are good. New country acts.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, you know, it's too generic and overreaching for my preferences. I don't want, like, hippie bands mixed in with bluegrass, you know what I mean? And they both kind of fall under roots music.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, I wouldn't worry about it. They have no act booked.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm not worried about the act or the yacht club or whatever the hell it is. I'm worried about the definition of roots music.

[John]

Well, I, I isn't country and folk roots music?

[Joe Susherer]

You know, the definition of it changes so often, I'm not going to to try to have one.

[John]

I, I think it's fairly stable.

[Kenny Olson]

You know what another thing that annoys me is people like Joe referring to hip hop is rap.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, I hate that rap.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, that's not rap. That's hip hop.

[John]

All the things we argue about today.

[Chris Reavers]

Is what we end up.

[Kenny Olson]

You know what else tips me off?

[Chris Reavers]

What else? Keep grievances to air with you people.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah. Let me tell you something else. I got news for you.

[John]

Yeah.

[Joe Susherer]

Schools were a lot better off, too, when they had real school names. Not, you know, not the John Glenn Space Center Technology Magnet School. It was better off if it was, you know, Roosevelt Maple Grove elementary or whatever, or the schools were named after people like Monroe and Harding.

[Eric Lissoff]

And how about Creative Arts Magnet?

[Joe Susherer]

No, no, name me a school that reflects the neighborhood.

[Chris Reavers]

Jordan Public Schools.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, I'll accept.

[Chris Reavers]

Who just announced we're not having school tomorrow?

[Joe Susherer]

School tomorrow?

[Kenny Olson]

This obsession with yours about roads and the naming of roads, I can't tell you how close to home that hits with me.

[Joe Susherer]

What's your address up there?

[Kenny Olson]

There's nothing I hate more than I'm way up north in the Kelly Hills and it's just unbelievably me. It's an unbelievable vista. And I'm on, I don't know, 230th Avenue or whatever it should be. It should be Palmer Lystrom's dad's Farm Road. That's what I call it.

[Joe Susherer]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

Rees Lund Road. I don't know what the hell the county number is, or the avenue or the street. Let's get some names here.

[Joe Susherer]

I agree.

[Chris Reavers]

Since we're once again taking calls. Go ahead, call her with your complaint. Hey, I got a question.

[John]

How come old these stations are always.

[Joe Susherer]

Playing the same song?

[John]

How about some new oldies, geniuses?

[Kenny Olson]

The worst one, Joe, was there is a lake right next to the highway. We call it the old highway that was called Mud Lake. The best name for a lake I have ever seen. You know what these people changed it to? Golden Pond. No, it's the kind of mud lake that has dead trees, water. You can see the big snapping turtles floating.

[Joe Susherer]

They call it golden time. There's nothing golden about it. It's a shithole. Just. Do people live on it?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, a couple of morons.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, well, a couple tree stumps hanging.

[Chris Reavers]

Out at the top of the water.

[Joe Susherer]

I don't like lakes where you can see the tree stumps.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, I like, I, I.

[Joe Susherer]

You know why that it should be called Mud.

[Kenny Olson]

I like those lakes because you have to know every inch of them. If you're out in the boat alone. That means. Yeah, Stump Lake. That's a great name. That means the, the city. It's that come up and launch their sixty thousand dollar boat and they're blasting through it seventy miles an hour.

[John]

Yikes.

[Joe Susherer]

You're not from around here, are you?

[Eric Lissoff]

What about back to schools and how about use drug Needle Park Elementary?

[Joe Susherer]

Well, that's the kind of drift they're getting to. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah.

[John]

But yeah. Let's take a break at this point, shall we and hear from Mr. Reefer.

[Chris Reavers]

Since we're a discombobulated mess before I do the we are Nuts ad.

[Eric Lissoff]

Where's he going?

[Chris Reavers]

Product placement.

[John]

Where's he going?

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, that's nice.

[Eric Lissoff]

That dude is nuts.

[Chris Reavers]

Just for the ad. Now you got to wear that just for the ad for we are nuts and wearenutsmn.com. they brought, they brought some sweet merch. Gabe, here's your shirt. Here we go. Matthew, you get this hat, you get that hat and I'm gonna keep this shirt. Here's the deal, ladies and gentlemen, the best.

[Joe Susherer]

Kenny.

[John]

We get nothing.

[Chris Reavers]

If you two would show up once in a while.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm used to it.

[Chris Reavers]

But here's the deal. It's a wonderful family owned operation making. Okay, Flava Flame over here.

[Joe Susherer]

I need a big nut clock. Excuse me.

[Chris Reavers]

I think I can give you one. But it's a wonderful family owned operation making quality handcrafted stuff.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh my God.

[Chris Reavers]

This is probably a bad idea for the family. I apologize. But you know what? They are in all 700. I don't know if it's all of them, but they're in 700 different quick trip locations right now. Lund's and Byerlys, Kowalski's markets, Coburn's County Market, Fratelloni's Hardware and garden stores, Mac's Hardware. And it's a wonderful. What's the old joke?

[Eric Lissoff]

I'm getting out of here.

[Chris Reavers]

I'm bleeping nuts, cashews, the cinnamon toffee peanuts, the maple bourbon toffee almonds. See it for yourself. Go to their website right now.

[Eric Lissoff]

Chocolate almonds, the best chocolate almonds you'll.

[Chris Reavers]

Ever have and you'll go back for more, which I know you have. So thank you very much. Matthew. It's we are nuts and wearenutsmn.com place your order. And I guess you can mention you heard about him on GL, but maybe not after today. But it's wearenutsmn.com but mention that you heard about them on the Garage Logic podcast.

[John]

Also, original toffee peanuts, Chris. I know they're the original and everybody kind of ignores them, but I go through one about every three days, one jar.

[Chris Reavers]

Here's the thing too, John, if you like the wasabi, the wasabi mix, if it's too spicy, put in some of the original toffee peanuts and it calms it down a little bit and it's really, really good.

[John]

In national and international news markets and some European leaders welcome the news that US President Trump was standing down from imposing further tariffs on European countries. Other countries still, they say, though they are left confused. The president told CNBC that he had the, quote, concept of a deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rudda shortly after declaring on Truth Social that he would not proceed with the levies he threatened on the eight European countries from February 1. Markets rose on the news, but questions remain about the supposed agreement on Greenland, as the president didn't share any details of the framework or who actually agreed to it. One strategist told cnbc, nobody's going to believe him anymore as far as the financial markets go. The president outlined what he called the Greenland agreement in sweeping terms, casting it as an ultimate long term deal that locks in U.S. national security and gives access to minerals. But the president did not say whether Denmark, which is responsible for the island's defense, or Greenland, had signed up for any part of it. Further adding to the confusion, Ruda told Fox News the issue of Greenland's ownership never came up in his talks with the president, which were about Arctic security as Chinese and Russian activity increases.

[Kenny Olson]

I have an interesting go ahead, Joe.

[Joe Susherer]

Do you think, though, when that Trump creates wildly exaggerated demands, hoping to end up with what he wanted in the first place. In other words, in New York, when he was in the real estate business, would he just say, I want the Empire State Building, damn it, give it to me, I deserve it, I want it. But what he really wanted was an empty lot on the same block and he and he ends up beating them down to saying, well, how about this empty Lot on this block.

[John]

No.

[Joe Susherer]

And he said, okay, okay, I'll take that. And the next thing you know, he's building a Trump Tower, maybe declared bankruptcy on that.

[Kenny Olson]

That's how I negotiated a contract with an old general manager we called, hey, man.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I went in there and I actually asked for Trump money. And he laughed at me and said, well, instead of that, I'm going to give you this. And I'm like, home run.

[John Randall]

All right.

[Kenny Olson]

But what you just mentioned, Joe, there's a really, really interesting article that I discovered that Gailers might want to look at. I read it and I'm just going to tell you how to find it. It's too complicated. Just Google Josh Wolf W O L F E Greenland article. Josh Wolf, Greenland article. You'll find that and you'll be linked to it. And it's a really interesting piece and it basically talks about what you just said.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, and it's all Wolf speculation.

[Kenny Olson]

It is, it is, but it's interesting nonetheless. Yeah. That's all you're going to get at this point, especially.

[Joe Susherer]

And his speculation is, See, but that. That's asking me to believe that Trump is still very sharp. And having listened to him in the past couple of days, I think that's in question. I really do.

[Kenny Olson]

So the key words I'm taking away from that are asking me to believe. And if I don't believe anything anybody.

[Joe Susherer]

Tells me anymore, I'm done believing in anyone.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, yeah. But either it doesn't matter who you are or what you're saying. I don't know if I believe you, but it is.

[Joe Susherer]

He seems entirely happy with whatever arrangement has been arranged with Greenland, which is a long way from him threatening to invade it. He never apparently intended to invade it. And we all. We all swallowed the bait.

[Kenny Olson]

Right. And the thing John just talked about, it was really interesting reading the quotes from the president where he was talking about use of force, and he's not going to use force. He could use force, but he's not going to use force. But I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not going to. And it's like, okay, okay. It's hard to keep up here, Mr. President.

[Joe Susherer]

It really is.

[Eric Lissoff]

Well, I'd like to stay.

[Joe Susherer]

And I don't believe you, Mr. President. I don't believe anybody.

[Eric Lissoff]

Matthew, I'd like to stay and continue this talk, but I need to go see. I have a meeting set up with JD Vance and I'm going to wear this hat.

[Chris Reavers]

Can I ask you a question about that hat?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

It's clear that you never played baseball past about fourth grade. The way you crease for fourth grade, the crease you applied to the bill of that hat.

[Kenny Olson]

It's not a band, is it?

[Joe Susherer]

It's old.

[Chris Reavers]

It looks like it's the steeple of a house.

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah, it does. Hey, fold it. I planned it.

[Kenny Olson]

Matt, you're not a hat guy.

[Chris Reavers]

You really are.

[Eric Lissoff]

No, I got a big fat head. I mean, just nothing ever looks good in this head.

[Chris Reavers]

Hey guys, I'm here to play catch.

[Eric Lissoff]

Hey J.D. hey, Vice President. How are you? The Let us Would you like to pass the ball?

[Joe Susherer]

Matt, you have to go now.

[Eric Lissoff]

Would you like to pass the ball?

[Joe Susherer]

Matt, you have to leave now.

[Chris Reavers]

Would you like to pass the ball?

[Eric Lissoff]

Play catch?

[John]

Other News okay, thanks guys. Other News A federal judge has barred the FBI from examining the electronic devices that IT agents seized last week from the Virginia home of a Washington Post reporter until he can review the case. The government must preserve, but must not review any of the materials that law enforcement seized pursuant to search warrants the court issued, according to U.S. magistrate Judge William Porter. Porter was responding to a motion filed hours earlier by the Post and the reporter, Hannah Natenson, requesting the FBI return her cell phone as well as her work and personal laptops, a recorder, a portable hard drive and a Garmin smartwatch. Both the newspaper and Natenson have demonstrated good cause in their filings to maintain the status quo until such time as the government can respond to the motions and the court can address them, the judge wrote. He has ordered the government to respond to newspapers filings by January 28, and he scheduled a hearing for early next month.

[Joe Susherer]

Give her her stuff back and don't look at it. It's none of your business.

[John]

A Texas jury acquitted a former Uvalde School police officer who was on trial for acquitted him. Him acquitted? Yes, all charges.

[Joe Susherer]

God Almighty.

[John]

For allegedly failing to act during the massacre at Robb elementary school in 2022 that left 19 students and two teachers dead. The jury returned the verdict last night about 7:15 on 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment. After just over seven hours of deliberation, Adrian Gonzalez faced up to two years in prison. Prosecutors had alleged the 52 year old Gonzalez, a 10 year police veteran who had led an active shooter response training course during just two months before the shooting, abandoned all of that training and did not try to stop the gunman from entering the school. Over more than two weeks of testimony, prosecutors called witnesses who recounted the horrors of the massacre and showed pictures of the scene, many of them graphic. Gonzalez and former Uvalde Schools Police Chief Pete Arredondo were among the first on the scene. They are the only two officers to face any criminal charges over the response. Arredondo's trial has not yet been scheduled.

[Joe Susherer]

Two things Is he no longer a police officer? Do we know that? And secondly, I would hope if he hasn't already, pal, I wouldn't live in that town if I were you.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, heavens no.

[John]

Yeah. From the how much stuff is actually up there file Jeff Bezos Space Venture Blue Origin announced Wednesday it plans to deploy 5,408 satellites into space for a communications network that would take on SpaceX and Amazon. The network will be called Terrawave. It's targeted for enterprise, data center and government users. The company said it'll provide data speeds of up to four of up to six terabits per second from satellites positioned in low Earth orbit and medium earth orbit, regions of space that are between 100 miles and 21,000 miles from the Earth's surface. Blue Origin said it expects to begin deploying its constellation in the fourth quarter of 2027. Bezos is entering an increasingly crowded satellite Internet market that's currently dominated by Starlink. That's the service operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Starlink right now has more than 9,000 satellites in orbit and about 9 million customers. The best selling album of all time has now gone quadruple Diamond.

[Chris Reavers]

Let's guess. Hold on, let's guess. What do you think it is, Joe?

[Joe Susherer]

Thriller?

[John]

No, that's what.

[Chris Reavers]

Actually, that was really my second.

[John]

Thriller Second. This has been number one forever for a long time.

[Chris Reavers]

Is it Beatles?

[John]

Beatles? No.

[Joe Susherer]

I don't know.

[Chris Reavers]

Can't.

[John]

No.

[Chris Reavers]

Guess.

[Kenny Olson]

Celine Dion?

[Joe Susherer]

No.

[John]

Kenny?

[Joe Susherer]

No.

[Chris Reavers]

I was gonna guess Thriller as well.

[John]

By the way, the 1976 Eagles album album Greatest Hits 75 is the best selling album of all time, officially sold over 40 million units, according to new certification from the Recording Industry association of America. Also announced at the same time, the band's 1976 record Hotel California has been certified 28 times platinum, maintaining its position as the third best selling album. As we said earlier, Michael Jackson's Thriller is number two and at 34 times diamond.

[Joe Susherer]

Come on. I had a rough night and I hate the Eagles, man. What Beatles album ranks the highest?

[John]

I have no clue.

[Joe Susherer]

It's not on.

[Chris Reavers]

It's gotta be Abbey Road.

[John]

I don't have a list in front of me.

[Chris Reavers]

Is it an Abbey Road? Would you guess?

[Joe Susherer]

I would say Sergeant Pepper.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[John]

RIAA's diamond status was once equivalent to selling 10 million albums or songs. But in 2013, they had to change the whole thing because of streaming. Now, 1500 streams of an album is equivalent to one album sale, so the album has to be listened to 1500 times on a stream to equal a sale. Their Greatest Hits was originally released.

[Chris Reavers]

Yes sir.

[Joe Susherer]

The Earth is not your.

[Chris Reavers]

Mother, the Joe Suture Show I got.

[Joe Susherer]

A bone to pick with a guy.

[Chris Reavers]

Me after the last break.

[Joe Susherer]

Robert Punkochar. This guy's trying to rip me off.

[Chris Reavers]

Does he do afternoons on K Fan.

[Joe Susherer]

Dan I didn't say that. Joel. One day as I was walking on the beach in Florida, I looked down and I had an epiphany. I said to myself, this is it. The perfect self sanding shoe. I remember about five or ten years ago the sidewalks are really icy and you were concerned about falling down on your daily walk. You had talked at length about self sanding shoes. No I didn't pal. You're ripping me off. I talked about self salting shoes. Shoes that would dispense their own salt as you walked. Although I'm going to say that maybe he's on to something better. I often thought about ways to perfect this, but I knew you wouldn't publish it on the air. Well the hell I wouldn't. I'm reading this, aren't I? I figured out GL I don't know what he's talking about. I grew up on a farm and spent my 38 year career on the construction industry in the Laborers Union. 25 of these years I was a commercial construction superintendent. Yes kids, you can make a far better living in retirement in a building trades union and being a social media influencer or podcast journalist. Boy, he's taking a shot at us, isn't he? I guess my career required me to be a quick thinker and problem solver. For the self sanding shoes, you would start with a pair of crocs. Well there's your first mistake pal. You don't wear crocs up here in the winter, okay? You see, the crocs have holes in the front which would spread sand in front of you as you made each step. You would wear a backpack with silica sand in it that's dry and it wouldn't freeze.

[John]

Sweet Jesus.

[Joe Susherer]

So you'd run two plastic tubes from the backpack, one to each crock. The tube would run along the side of your foot to the front of the crock. Continuously feeding sand. Boy, I think he's onto something. Continuously feeding sand of the three holes of the crock in front the crock will broadcast. The sand on your foot moves forward with each step. I know you're concerned with cold feet. Yes. You would have to wear electric socks. These would. These would actually heat the sand as it passes by your foot on its way to the front of the crock. I know this may need a few bugs worked out, but I think it is headed in the right direction. Or you could just winter in Florida like me. One more thing. I was the state fair. I was at the state fair broadcast this year and I kept telling my wife, who is that weird guy in the audience? I discovered later it was Inge in the construction industry. We would have called him a half a bubble off. Good luck and stay safe, Rob. Okay, Rob. At least you acknowledge that I was onto this. I will admit I think sand is a better idea than salt. Sand would be act. Sand would act instantly. There wouldn't be enough time for the salt to benefit the walker. So I'm saying that's a hell of an idea. But I think it requires special shoes. Somehow the shoes would have to have. Have some means of. Of spraying the sand out.

[Kenny Olson]

Both of you residing in the twitch farm. Seriously, how can you even have a series? Have you not. I know you own a pair of ice cleats.

[Joe Susherer]

I do. And let me tell you, that's the answer. No, let me tell you something.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay, here we go.

[Joe Susherer]

This is brilliant. You're just not Chris 39.

[Kenny Olson]

Exactly.

[Chris Reavers]

So this is just. This isn't for the purposes of getting to the car. This is for going for your daily walk.

[Joe Susherer]

Correct. With your sand shoes. And you got the backpack that carries all your sand. And that sand is distributed with each foot.

[Chris Reavers]

How many pounds of sand are in the backpack?

[Joe Susherer]

That would strengthen the value of the walk. It would improve the aerobics of the walk.

[Kenny Olson]

Here, put on this 100 pound backpack. Loser. Go for a walk.

[Chris Reavers]

Watch out for the ice.

[Joe Susherer]

I think it's. You know, Rob, I. Let's. Let's put together our heads on this. This is fantastic.

[Chris Reavers]

You'll sell two.

[John]

Chris just made a good point too. Watch out for the ice. So if you fell with 100 pounds of sand on your back. Have to help you out.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, who says it has to be 100 pounds? You could adjust the distribution of sand. You could have a. Depending on the day, you might just require a very light coating of sand.

[John]

Or. Or.

[Joe Susherer]

Or you could get a treadmill. I don't like that. I want to be outside.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay, just get some cleats.

[Joe Susherer]

I got the cleats. You know, it's kind of a shame that you're not curious enough to think of some new invention like this. This is what GL does. You go right in your garage, you find a workbench and you put this together.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay. I do have a question.

[Kenny Olson]

All right, Einstein.

[Chris Reavers]

You know, when you study economics, they talk about this thing called supply and demand.

[John]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Right. So you think that the demand for creating said product would be that that would cause you to increase the amount of supply.

[Kenny Olson]

Can you hear the commercial? Are you off your rocker?

[John]

No.

[Joe Susherer]

Are you aware of the salt shakers that in order to get the salt out of, you got to kind of pound the top and it distributes the salt after you pound the top of the salt shaker? So I'm doing it.

[Chris Reavers]

You mean when you're eating a meal?

[Joe Susherer]

Yeah. Okay. No. You've seen those?

[Chris Reavers]

Sure.

[Joe Susherer]

Okay. Same thing here. Same concept. As your foot hit the ground, it would be like that salt shake people. Pounded people. The sand would come out of the bottom of the shoe.

[Kenny Olson]

But you're gonna rig a hose up that runs two tubes of sand your shirt down through.

[Joe Susherer]

Down right through your pants, down your leg. Yep. You laugh. This is going to be. This will be in L.L. bean by two years.

[Chris Reavers]

I can't wait to watch you on Shark Tank with this product. You and Mark Cuban are going to be billionaires.

[Joe Susherer]

Self sanding shoes.

[Chris Reavers]

You know, the people that would buy the self sanding shoes are also the same people that would use that same salt shaker on their driveway.

[Joe Susherer]

No. Think of the action of the salt shaker when you pound the top. It distributes salt. Same thing. Oh, boy, my foot just hit the ground. Boom, there comes some sand. Only because they come to us.

[John]

Bean makes adult stable icers walk traction devices. They sell them for 39.95.

[Joe Susherer]

Ain't nothing like sand shoes. This is from the traveling linemans who are in Kaiwaka, New Zealand. And Tom writes on yesterday's podcast, several things were mentioned. Kenny asked, wasn't it Jessica who would touch me to get me to stop talking? Yes, indeed, it was her. Because she couldn't give me the look. Rookie asked, what was the worst thing that happened to us? Oh, there were two things we all should remember this. Jessica needed emergency open heart surgery in 2010. I remember that while they were in South Africa. And two during the 2020 Covid. Remember this? Two.

[Chris Reavers]

He got locked out.

[Joe Susherer]

They were stuck in Mumbai, India FOR 10 months in a hotel room. That's when I realized they really liked each other. But what you what really made us laugh was you, Joe. When you asked what Mrs. Lyman's name was, the guys all said Linda. What made us laugh? Because my is because my ex wife name is Linda.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh crap.

[Chris Reavers]

That's my fault. I'm sorry.

[Joe Susherer]

And yes indeed, Jessica does most of the work. So I was right about that. Geez, you had to use Linda.

[Kenny Olson]

I spent some time on worldwide waftage.com yesterday afternoon. That's a fun website.

[Joe Susherer]

That's cool. That's really cool.

[Kenny Olson]

It makes a guy envious of the life they're leading.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, they planned it out. They're going to be in studio this spring. It'll be fun to have them in.

[Chris Reavers]

On this day, Joe, today is January 22nd.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, it was on this day in 1819. Did you know this Morton S. Wilkin was born in New York State and patented the first attempt at making sand shoes? No. He moved to Stillwater in 1847, became Minnesota's first practicing attorney and served in Congress as a senator from 1859 to 1865 and a representative from 1869 to 1871. He died in 1894.

[Chris Reavers]

On this day, Joe, today is January 22nd.

[Joe Susherer]

This is a big day for you Johnnies. 1857, five Benedictine monks obtained a charter to establish St. John's Seminary in Collegeville. The seminary involved evolved into St. John's University, the only Catholic. The oldest Catholic institution of higher learning in the state was on this day.

[Chris Reavers]

Joe, today is January 22nd.

[Joe Susherer]

Oh, this is a famous one. 1962, on this day, an out of control car careened over the side of St. Paul's High Bridge and landed upside down on a row of telephone wires, bounced into the air and landed on its four wheels. Amazingly, no injuries were reported in 75 foot fall. It was a. I think it was a reasonably prominent St. Paul businessman who was just completely bleep faced and his car flipped off the bridge, landed on the power lines, bounced in the air and then went back down to ground on the fort wheels.

[Kenny Olson]

And then he drove home.

[Joe Susherer]

He got out of the car and said, ta da.

[Chris Reavers]

On this day, Joe, January 22nd is today's date.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, St. John's is back in the news. 1967, KSJR, St. John's Radio began broadcasting rock music from St. John's University in Collegeville. Even though it is a station devoted to classical music and the fine arts, KSJR developed into Minnesota Public Radio, one of the largest and most successful public radio systems in the country. To which I do not donate a nickel because you already get my some of My tax money.

[John]

Not anymore.

[Joe Susherer]

That's too bad. Hell, they compete with us. Why pay them? They send us a donation.

[Chris Reavers]

We'd take it.

[Joe Susherer]

On this day in Minnesota, sports disappointment history.

[Chris Reavers]

Jan. 22nd.

[Joe Susherer]

Call now. On this day in 1998, the wild were given their name. The Minnesota hockey team was given the name the Wild.

[Chris Reavers]

Did you come up with one of the finalists?

[Joe Susherer]

I doubt it.

[Chris Reavers]

Okay.

[Joe Susherer]

On this day, speaking of that, are.

[Chris Reavers]

You gonna tell us where the medallion's hidden?

[Joe Susherer]

I don't have anything to do with it. I can't make heads or tails out of these red, ridiculous clues.

[Chris Reavers]

Got it.

[Joe Susherer]

On this day, Jan.22 in 2020. In 2002, the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the injunction that forced the Twins to honor their lease. Twins and MLB then filed an appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court because they were still trying to contract the Twins, but they failed. Well, sad baseball note, on this day, Jan.22nd, 2003. Hold on.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, we lost Harmon, right?

[Joe Susherer]

No, David Ortiz signed with Boston. Oh, yeah.

[John]

Was that close?

[Chris Reavers]

Did Harmon died 22?

[Joe Susherer]

No, Harmon died much later than 2003. Okay.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, yeah, you're right. It was like. Yeah, you're right.

[Joe Susherer]

Just a few years ago.

[Chris Reavers]

Well, the way you had. The way your inflection.

[Joe Susherer]

Well, it was a sad note to lose Ortiz.

And boy Josh, some big surprises took place yesterday and our self driving taxis going to take over.

[John Randall]

Well let's go with the self driving taxis first and then we'll talk about the cries from yesterday to turn the market around. News this morning, news this morning that Waymo which is owned by Google or Alphabet, is extending their Waymo service in several southern southern cities. That's a, that's a nice, I'll say that's a nice source of income for Google in addition to their, to the other entities that they earn or they own including YouTube and their big, big move into AI with, with Gemini. As I'm sure you're aware, Google or Google Gemini is going to be powering favorite Apple theory and that will be introduced later this year. But their Waymo service has been really gaining, gaining a lot of ground and I do believe in terms of the say self driving taxis, Waymo is probably in the lead. Meantime, Elon Musk has been pushing Tesla's Robo Taxi and said by the end of this year his Robo taxi will be widespread throughout the United States and possibly in a lot of cities outside of the United States. And the third player, Sam will say self driving taxicab Amazon's so plenty of competition in self driving taxis with Waymo and Tesla's Robo tax going to be very interesting and could put a little pressure on some of the other ride hailing services. Although I do believe that several of the ride hailing services, whether it's Lyft and especially Uber, will have made contracts with both Waymo and Robo Taxi to add to their fake add to their fleet. So it'll be very easy we'll say for you to get around even if you don't own a car. Meantime, I'll say meantime the market which sold off very strongly on Tuesday after the return, I'll say the return after the long holiday weekend celebrating Martin Luther King Day, the market has rebounded very nicely. Starting yesterday afternoon and extending into today after and I'll say after President told CNBC's Joe Kernan in an interview that there was a framework of a deal on Greenland, the market breathed a big sigh of relief and moved up very strongly on that. And that could mean and I say could mean that the EU which had said yesterday morning that they were going to impose we'll say the bazooka on the US I just believe backed off in light of I did see a some source material coming from sun number two who has been a research analyst for several hedge funds and now has his own research company, Lake Cornelia Research. According to a source that he had the Green Party in Germany caution against any type of tariff war, particularly when it comes to energy. Germany had turned off their nukes and coal fire plants. They lost out on the Nord Stream gas pipeline and they are very dependent on US LNG and they indicated that any type of tariff that could affect energy sources will also affect or adversely affect their subsidies for immigrants. Very interesting indeed. With that just having that extra source of energy I'll say here in the United States and the ability to move energy, particularly natural gas LNG any place in the world is definitely position to be in and that could also help some. We'll say natural gas stocks currently have moved up with the weather, but that's something also just to pay attention to going going forward.

[Chris Reavers]

Excellent advice as always, Mr. Money Talk. You heard him gl ers. Now is the time for you to pick up the phone and make the call for that free 48 minute financial consultation again with zero obligation. And you do that just like I did by dialing 952-925-5608 where you always get straight talk and never ever sugarcoated advice. Josh, as always, thank you so much for the time and the chat. Enjoy the rest of your day. Stay warm and we'll talk to you again tomorrow.
