Number 1,747 March 31st, 2026 the last day of March.

It was 82 degrees for a record high on this day in 1986.

It was one below on this day in 1969.

There were no ice outs today for Lake Minnetonka.

Really?

But two ice outs throughout history for White Bear Lake.

White Bear went out on this day in 1938 and again in 1968.

Your Mayor, Joe Sushire.

I wish to alert you my fellow GLers on the future of politics.

Wow, the future of politics as seen by the mayor of garage logic, Joe Sushire.

Thank you.

That was unprompted by the mayor.

A political conference for Canada's new Democratic Party descended into chaos after

progressive activists got into a heated argument over equity cards.

The members from across the know, huh?

I'm already happy.

The members of this new party from across the nation gathered in Winnipeg,

the capital of the Manitoba province, our province, our friends right up north to the

Winnipeg's over the weekend to elect the party's new leader.

The event was built as an opportunity for progressive read,

mysterious Canadians to come together to debate ideas,

celebrate our shared values and help shape the future of our movement.

Okay, but footage from the event revealed frustration among delegates over the alleged

misuse of equity cards. Those were color-coded cards that identified a party member as being

part of a marginalized group that granted them special privileges. Equity.

Equity is a woke buzzword that means equality of outcomes. Progressives say that equality

generally taken to mean equal opportunities can be discriminatory because of some of the

minority groups must first overcome disadvantages that others do not have.

One delegate was outraged that she was allegedly skipped in the speaker queue,

despite having standing at the podium with her gender equity card.

A transgender woman who argued her rights are under attack claimed it was

frustrating that a cis gender woman had spoken over me.

Similarly, a black woman argued that equity cards for women like her have no value outside of

this space. Thank you. Can I read you something? All animals are created equal.

Some animals are more equal than others. Thank you, Mr. Orwell. Yes, sir.

Conference chair Adrian Smith who identifies as non-binary also seemed a bit

testy and snapped at a delegate in a kefya after being addressed as Madame Chair.

Hold on, I'm going to have a coffee, Jay. I will say I've seen some of the party that will never

get anything done. I've seen some of the pictures that accompany the daily aisle piece.

And it's again, right? He calls it a failed sign, imperfect sign, imperfect sign.

After a vote had passed on rescinding the Canadian charter of rights and freedom,

freedoms, which allows legislatures to temporarily override specific rights, a furious Asian

trans delegate took the stand, highlighting first how it is hard as a radicalized and transgender

delegate to even use her equity card. The delegate complained that a cis gender woman

had permitted to speak before her when she was holding a gender equity card.

Okay, Gabe, we have a double secret emergency. Yeah, good luck finding it. I know what you're

going to ask. I'm looking for the audio. Do you think it exists? Oh, the audio of this. Yeah, it's

I can look while Gabe's doing that. It's the NDP meeting in Winnipeg, new democratic party.

NDP, it might be really wonderful to hear the audience. It would be the best.

And then rock another block out on the printer, but that's okay. I don't have to read it any

further. My point of being that this is this is us. This isn't that far fetch from us,

us being America, us being the closer you get to the country's tallest buildings,

us being people that have been completely surrendered to an ineffective, incompetent, useless,

political class. These poor saps in Winnipeg, they can't even figure out,

they can't even figure out who should sit where or who should speak because they want to

their whole value system is based on your marginalization. So everyone's going to say,

wait a minute, I'm more marginalized than that person. So what possibly can be accomplished

by the creation of something called a new democratic party. And if I was a traditional Democrat,

I'd be angry that they're stealing my name. Gabe, see if that works. So everyone's going to

see, wait a minute, I'm more marginalized than that. That's me. Yeah. So what possibly can be

accomplished? Why am I hearing me? Yeah, why are you? I just was I in Winnipeg? Yeah, I think so.

I have the audio that accompanied that meeting. All right, let's see what that sounds like.

Now, balloting coaches, there is a point. Let's hear the point on microphone one.

I'm sorry, just real quick point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time

and for delegates to speak, but early on the mic, it's hard as a racialized and transgender

delegate to sometimes use this card and speak to somebody in front of me in line and ask,

hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd like to speak.

I was rejected when I talked and it's frustrating when these are my rights being directly under

attack right now in Alberta and that a cisgender woman had spoken over me. There's a point of privilege

on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate. Yes. Hello, I was standing

here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker. That's my point of

touch. I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed that I cannot amend, which is the pro

con rotation. You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in. I am pro. And I was, we went

pro pro pro, and my plan was to go con. The speaker at Con mic three also has a speaking card.

Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate matter. Oh, my God. That these cards for individuals

like myself who identify as a black woman have no value outside of this space. Well,

mother of God. Is that a money Python skit? Is this real? It's gotta be. Is this real?

It is folks. This was real. I don't know. This happened in Winnipeg.

That could easily happen here if it hasn't already. I said, this is our future. It does happen here.

That is a treasured piece of audio cable. Hold on. Never lose that, Gabe. That's

all. All people created equal. Wasn't working out for them. So look what they have now.

They got to speak before me. I'm more equal than they are. What went wrong?

Joe went wrong in their upbringing. I mean, everything went wrong in their upbringing.

What everything? What happened? How could this be? When did it all start going so wrong for you?

The failed academy has to play into this. Oh, without a doubt. And the failed parenting.

I, I'm speechless. We knew this was coming when they started giving out participation trophies

20 years ago. What's not what's not binary mean again? It's just normal. So you're a normal person,

right? Well, I'm looking at a picture of a non-binary and she looks like a third

adjutant general to her. Not relating to composed of or involving just two things. That's the

first one. Number two, denoting having or relating to a gender identity that does not conform

to traditional binary beliefs about gender. Okay. So this, it just means whatever you wanted to

meet. Yeah. I mean, take your pick. We won't do all on her. I just wanted to give you all a

picture of our future. By, yeah, binary is just normal. They don't female. Holy macro non is

everything else. That is just amazing. Well, I mean, to be perfectly clear, non-binary is not a thing.

But they say it is. How, how do you, how do you function on a daily basis?

A serious question. How, you're put upon how do you feed yourself? How do you get, do you work?

Well, you're, you're mad and crabby all the time because you're not getting yours. You feel like

you're not getting yours. You're oppressed. But when you're so consumed with your marg,

if you're so seeking of and grateful for a marginalized identity,

that's the only thing you have going for you. That's what you're focusing on.

Is your is your identity? You have nothing going for you that would translate to

where am I going? You're going to spend your whole life

husbanding your identity. Explaining. And when I meet you, you're going to spend 10 minutes

explaining why you have an orange card. I'm speaking before you. Right, right. Sorry. I should be

there. I'm a trans. I have the orange card. You're going to spend half your life doing that.

And so what happens is on the one hand, they want to say they're all the same. We're all the same.

On the other hand, they break down into a cat fight because they hold different colored cards

that reward their different identities. So they're getting their treading water.

Yeah, you're not getting nothing. They will never accomplish anything because they can't

because they're stuck in neutral. I'm I'm a cis gender. I identify as a black transgender

non something. But you have the red card. So you get to speak before me. I think that's unfair.

But it's unfair. My card is my card is blue. Let's take it out of the auditorium now. And that's

fast forward to Sunday about two. And we're going to come on over to grandma's house or Uncle

Albert's house for ham and some. Why are why do you turn this into food? I'm saying how do they

around their family? Well, they're going to tell Uncle Albert who's got the farm all had on

and the overalls. And he doesn't give a rats behind number one. But here comes Anne who's now Andy

saying she's still has your car. Yes, you know, Uncle Albert. I was at the podium and this

guess is came up. Is this a beetle song?

Honest to God. What is happened? When do I? What has happened? What has happened?

They're using animal farm as a playbook or as a manual. They read animal farm and they thought,

my God, this is the greatest idea ever because some marginalizations are better than other marginalization.

Well, but they're not supposed to be because you're all supposed to be sharing the burden of being

marginalized equally. We're not we're not in this we're not in this together. So are they saying that

a black transgender person is more than a white trans. Okay, because they're more put upon

than the white trans. Yes, even though they're all supposed to be transgender. But see the the white

transgender card holder to leap ahead of the black transgender card holder would need another

would need another identity and additional identity to push her ahead of the black braces or

something like that. Okay, you know, which a disease or which one is higher up a male that has

transgendered to female or female to male. Which one is higher up? There again, they would both

need one more identity right to trump the other person. Oh, well, you went from male to female.

I went from female to male, but I I am also I'm also part Indian. Okay, I'm part First Nation.

Right. Oh, sure mixed race. So so there I I get ahead of you. Yeah, well, there's no end to the

game you're going to play to see who's ahead of who's like a food pyramid. Yes, like what what

you need to hit with this trumps everything with no actual top or people are at me with the ongoing

presumption that the reason they all believe this anyway is that they've all bought into the idea

that in one way or the other, life has been unfair to them because they're all pressed. But

they're getting what they want. They're going from their own money to have their own political.

What's the I forget what the operation is called? And P new Democratic party. Yep.

Which will not be useful to anyone except them. Have they even got out of the starting gates

with that party? I bet they have candidates. So they're trying to be a legitimate political party.

Yeah, I'm wondering there are those they have anybody in office yet.

Or they're still bickering. That's a good question. That's a good question. Canada has bought

into this tour. Do you think? I think they're leading the way. Really? Yeah. Canada is

our friends. They're our friends. They'll still have us. They're our friends. But I'm looking

at the pictures of some of them and I just say holy man. Yeah. In fact, here's the deal. When

you look at the pictures, you're not sure which side they went to. You're not sure which card

they're holding. Right. I'm not sure if they're going which way as soon as as soon as I hear

somebody say point of privilege. I start laughing. I remember the one. Do you remember the audio

clip we had of that? That's what I thought you were going to have to look for. That was also in

Canada. Oh, was it? I believe that was also in Canada. But why do they? What's point of privilege?

The guy that much. My turn. My turn. Let me talk. Instead of saying it's my turn. They've even

softened the point of privilege. Oh, is that much? Moth guy you couldn't hear? Yeah. Yeah. Stop

referring to people as gender. Gender wise because we're all. And plus one of them was complaining

about the noise. I'd ask Gabe to find that. But I don't know what to tell you to look for.

I don't know what he would live. I'll find it. We got it. No, we got it here. In the meantime,

you want to run out to LA for a minute? Please. Because it's happening everywhere. What do you got?

Karen Bass is the current mayor of LA. And she's not walk enough. I told you, you'll always regret

the. I don't think that's going to be true in the Melvin Carter colleague, her case. And we'll get

to that in a moment. But it's generally been true that no matter how far gone the current

officeholder is, you'll regret that officeholder when they're replaced by the next way.

I repeated that to RT Rybuck two weeks ago at the airport. Well, Karen Bass, we learned,

you know, didn't she go to Cuba or something while the city burns? Yeah. She's,

she's as bad as woke as you can find. Well, now you've got a far left democratic socialist who's

now taken the lead over bass in the mayor's race. And her name is Nithya Rahman. She was born

in India. She has a 33% support in the latest poll, leaving bass trailing at 17%. And this woman

has fulfilled all the crackpot checkpoints she got. She thinks car manufacturers are to be sued

because they've made catalytic converters too easy to steal. That's not far off from here, right?

No, that's, that's us. She shrugs her, well, just a minute, I got to turn this page here.

She shrugs her shoulders and rolls her eyes when asked if it was safe for homeless encampments

to be erected near the city schools. So she's okay with putting homeless encampments through

the city schools. The poll is conducted by Loyola Marymount for the study of Los Angeles.

Uh, and found bass has just a 5% lead ahead of reality TV star Spencer Pratt.

I don't know. So here's one of the, here's one of the great cities of the world while it used to be.

Los Angeles, California, beautiful, big city, one of the, one of the, the icon.

Everybody went there with their dreams. They wanted to become a small icon. I have to fog

horn myself for that. I don't know where the horn went. They all with it.

We got her. Yeah, whatever. And it's, so you got Pratt, who we already know is a failure.

And then you got this Ramon, who's worse than bass. And I don't know anything about Spencer Pratt,

the reality TV guy. So Los Angeles, you also have surrendered much as we have here.

In the twin cities or the closer you get to the country's tallest buildings.

Ramon's lead comes after the city council, she's a city councilwoman,

comes as the city councilwoman has launched a far left platform and built a reputation for her

takes on Los Angeles issues. She, uh, in 2023 during a surge in automobile thefts,

she sparked backlash by voting against banning the unlawful possession of catalytic converters.

She, she was okay if you had yours. You finally got to that.

Ramon said she voted against the ban because she believed car makers were simply making the part

too easy to steal. In this case, I think one of the things that infuriates me is that we have a

company, whatever Toyota, who makes the Prius that essentially has a device on their

cards, which is super easy to remove. It's basically the value of a MacBook, right? She said,

despite almost 8,000 catalytic converters being stolen in LA in 2022. Ramon said her solution

was to manufacture a car that is not easy to be stolen. Well, I, I can't really say much of

Keith Ellison has already done that. Yeah, jump right on it. He sued Hyundai and Kia

because it's their fault. The cars are being stolen. Making them too easy.

What else can we learn here? Under, uh, uh, uh, homelessness in LA stood a staggering 67,000 people.

And, uh, Ramon was grilled about how she would sell the crisis. And she drew booze from the crowd.

She told an audience in 2024 that she did not believe it would make any difference in enforcing

laws, batting homeless encampments from coming within 500 feet of schools, drawing the

iron of the crowd. I don't think a kid's going to be safer if they are 10 feet or 500 feet away from

a school. Ramon said, as she shrugged her soldiers, shoulders on stage, she clarified in a statement

after her remarks drew backlash, keeping children safe is important. So she had to admit that.

All right. Uh, that's all I don't want. I didn't pursue it any further than that. By the way,

that motion, Joe, about catalytic catalytic converters passed. So she failed. Good. So, so there,

there is a ban on the possession of them. Correct. And she voted to, no, we should be able to find

200 privilege. I believe I do. All right. If we want to defeat capitalism, we are going to need a

party that will organize working people to fight for the demands that we want and to win socialism.

Thank you so much. Great. Great. Uh, quick point of privilege, quick point of personal privilege.

Guys, first of all, James Jackson Sacramento, he, him, I just want to say please keep the

chatter to a minimum. I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload. There's a

lot of whispering and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, can we just,

I know it's we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum.

It's affecting my ability to focus. Thank you. Thank you, comrade. Okay. Is there a speaker

against name chapter? Yes. Yes. Please do not use gendered language to, to address everyone.

That's it for that one. Oh my god. Does somebody have to be doing a bit there? Wasn't that guy

doing a bit with whispering bothersome? When I was going to say it, he ever eaten a restaurant.

Right. Yeah. There's usually a dinner. Could you people all be quiet? I'm trying to have my

fried rice here. Okay. Wait. No. Let's let's take some learning from this. These events

are not uncommon. The progressives keep inventing new ways to manifest themselves.

And we're getting closer and closer to understanding why Asia chug tie gets elected or chowd

hurry. What's what's chug ties first name? Egor or a shanty mole egg or something. And so chug tie and

chowd hurry and robin wandsley, they are they are elected. I think it's a reasonable suspicion.

They are elected by the kinds of people. Aisha Aisha chug tie. They're elected by constituents

who would be perfectly at home identifying with these audio clips we've played you.

So, you know, I think I've been a little naive thinking why in God's name are these

wrong people getting elected? Well, to the people electing them, they're not the wrong people.

Yeah. They're playing to their own demographic. They're not the wrong people. Yeah. Yeah.

So, so many accomplices problem, same Paul's to a lesser degree, is the

is the voting block has devolved into a very progressive mindset and ideology. They don't care

that it doesn't result in anything. It can't if you're going to spend your weekend arguing about

who gets to speak first based on the color card they're holding. What can you you can't publish

you can't accomplish anything for citizenry. Okay, but what did we cover yesterday

where it's there it's the goal of a conservative versus liberal. Is this playing into what you we

do? Yes, yes, the the Republican goal at that meeting in in Winnipeg, the end would justify

the means they will determine the outcome for you for you. Whereas in GL. Cross town, you're

going to determine your own outcome. Okay. Right. Okay. So that fits the profile. I think it does.

Certainly, although that forces the question of what outcome to the people in Winnipeg,

what can they possibly identify as an outcome of their inability to even proceed through a

meeting without first stopping to see who should be in line ahead of who. What can their what is

their outcome? What is their end goal? The Minneapolis City Council. That's what's going to have,

I guess, but just nothing but infighting and getting no business done. Okay, but sounds like

the end goal of everybody that chimed in at this NDP was here's more about me. I'm need the

great card, the orange card. Yeah, I listen to me. I'm more equal than you. Right. Yeah, I just

equal does not mean equal in their world, unless you're fighting Trump or look, look,

version. We do have to quit being naive, right? New York just elected this guy.

Yeah. The one of the most fantastic cities in the country. Well, we have Ilhan. I know,

but they elected an unprepared ill-equipped Marxist socialist who would be perfectly at home

at that meeting in Winnipeg. He would be accommodating to them. He wouldn't stand up and say,

what is this BS? Right. He'd go with it. He wouldn't be like George Bush when Wellstone came in

all stormy. Who's this chicken shit over here? Oh, God, that was great. That was the first

introduction of Senator Wellstone. Yeah. Who is this chicken? Revers here, once again,

I'm going to tell you about I read something today about electric bikes are especially with

rising gas prices. Electric bikes could be a great part of the future of urban commuting.

No, you got to be of a, you know, you don't want to be doing an electric bike. You're not going to

go in your 90, but right now electric bikes are making a great deal of sense, and there's a great

pre-season sale happening at eco fun motor sports in Forest Lake Slash Columbus. Electric

bikes are on sale at 899. That's cheap. That's cheap for a season of riding. It won't just be

this season. The bike's going to last you forever. And it makes a lot of sense. Just like I'm afraid

to admit that electric car makes a lot of sense for me because of my driving needs. So what an

electric bike. Right. But they got everything at eco fun 400 electric bikes in stock 130 motorcycles

on display. Great seasonal pricing. They if you want water equipment, they've got jet skis and

wave runners and they're throwing in the $1,500 trailer as part of the value. It's amazing.

It's going to be the most fun story you've ever you've ever gone to. It's eco fun motor sports

Forest Lake Slash Columbus. It's on Highway 97, immediately west of Interstate 35 and down in

Burnsville on the service road of life and a great, great website at eco fun motor sports.com.

Might we turn now? Where are you going in the world now? Where in the world are you going? I'm leaving

LA. Okay. Well, hop on the what was it? The common sense and I'm the GLGF GLGF and I'm flying back to

the Twin Cities where we discovered today as far as I'm concerned Melvin Carter displayed larceness

behavior. He took money that ostensibly was to be part of incoming mayor collie hers budget.

And he distributed handsome bonuses to his staff for the job well done.

Huh? Melvin never accomplished anything as mayor. The city is in dire condition. I see got his next

free gig yet where he doesn't do anything and gets paid by the public. I have not seen that.

Is it is it tradition to give bonuses to staff when you're outgoing? I've never heard of this before

from any mayor. Kenny and Jay coals were going to break this story on crabby coffee shop but the

star tribune got wind of it and and and doing what news gatherers do. They printed it which they

should have. So it's in their online edition today and we learned that these bonuses were meant

to reward extraordinary achievement, exceptional performance, significant contributions and substantial

accomplishments well beyond normal or regular working responsibilities. Well, wait, this is a

ray of hope. They're going to actually list the accomplishments or the positive job well done

or isn't just in general. No, sorry, Matthew. We don't really get a list of what I thought that

would be okay if I lived to positive Matthew. This is wow. Up and up.

Oh, good. Deputy mayor. Uh, I think her name is tensioner. She got 96,500 shupas. Now we learned

that she had some personal leave. We learned that part of that's recognition pay. We learned

that some of that's termination settlement. Yeah. And and part of that was vacation. Yeah.

Then you get the chief of staff got 83 grand. Well, the city is Jamie tincture. Yeah. The city

attorney got 73 grand. The chief equity officer got 63,700. Now there's an ex see a deputy mayor

could probably demonstrate to taxpayers what she did. Okay. A chief of staff could probably

demonstrate to the taxpayers what they did. A city attorney could certainly demonstrate to the

taxpayers what they did. Right. But as I read the rest of the list, there's not a chance in hell

you could demonstrate to the taxpayer what you did chief equity officer got 63,7. I defy

Carter to have the guts to tell the citizens of St. Paul what that chief equity officer did

to earn a $63,000 bonus. We should demand that. We should demand that that did he give himself a

the chief resilience officer. Russ Stark 54,500. I'm sorry. Yeah. 54,500. I defy anyone.

Carter to tell me what he did. What what accomplishments are there? If there are,

if there are, I will apologize and take my words back. Well, see the street guy that would

come out and talk about. I don't know what he did. Plowing in a government working there. No,

inner that's that's difficult. Okay. Okay. That's a. I forgot his name. Kershaw. Okay. Kershaw.

Public works. Sorry. Excuse me. He's not all bad. No, that's he actually works. Yeah. And he's

honest about inner governmental relations associate 42 grand communications director 42 grand policy

director 42 grand you all didn't do anything inner governmental relations director. So wait a minute.

The inner governmental relations associate got 42,400 but the inner governmental relations director

will they got 41,800 fire chief. Okay. They do something 41 grand policy advisor. They don't do

anything. 37 grand policy advisor. 31 grand. So that policy advisor did even less than the

policy advisor. Got six three and more. These people are gone now. Yeah. Yeah.

Let's see. Marvin's cabinet. Maybe they had to reapply for a collie her. I don't know.

Press secretary got 29 grand office of financial services director got 21 grand assistant to the

mayor 19 grand. That was the person who answered the phone every day and said he's not here. Plus

the press secretary who did not make him available got 29 grand. Yeah. Press secretary 29,100 to

be exact staff assistant 12 grand 1218 deputy director of financial services 7.8 and executive

assistant to the mayor. That must have been somebody that I don't they didn't do anything because

they got 4.6 plus you work from home. So they they just sat around this deputy mayor, Jamie Tensher

who got the she damn you got 100 grand. She received a termination settlement. Do you all have this

at your place of employment? By the way, all UGLers who are listening. Do you have this figured out

public class has it figured out? It's funny. You asked that because St Paul didn't have this when

Coleman was running the show. No, he didn't do this once. So Tensher received a termination settlement

of $47,100 and 60 cents a bonus of $10,183.68. She left the city with $9,400 and 32 cents in personal

leave and $29,872.45 in unused vacation time for a total of 96,458 dollars and five cents.

These people are thieves. There is no other way I can possibly look at it. These people have stolen

the taxpayers money. Melvin enabled it. Now, am I going to get sued for calling them thieves?

I think that's pretty accurate. How else am I supposed to look at this? The only problem I have is

that it's not larceny per se because larceny is that stealing from a private individual.

All of this. So this would be fraud, Joe. No, all of this will pass the test of the city attorney.

All of this will be legal. All of this will be written in their various voluminous books of

bylaws. It's all going to be legal. The taxpayers are never getting this money back.

It equaled. What are its equals 700 grand? 775. I think something like that.

$775,000 of your money just went to pay people who have not, if they can, they should have not

demonstrated to the same Paul taxpayer what they did to earn this money. That's what I want to see.

Carter has no moral compass. It might not be illegal, but it's really a crappy, crappy way. Melvin

you look really bad. I keep asking this of our elected officials almost every day. How can you possibly

live with yourself? How can you look yourself in the mirror and live with what you've done?

The one thing that really bothers me, well, many things have bothered me, or Carter decided that

their last day, their last service to the city would be January 2nd instead of the last day of 2025.

Dead by him. Some more vacation. The personal personal days. Yeah. Let me see. I want to get the

six days, six days of personal, I don't know what they call it.

I've proved me wrong. Somebody in St. Paul's, I'm about to make a bet. I'll bet $5,000

that I'll pay to the Union Gospel mission because I like the Union Gospel secret store.

How much split was second? I'll pay $5,000 to Union Gospel mission. I'll throw something

at second store and something for Mary Copeland's sharing and carrying. We'll start with $5,000

to the Union Gospel mission. If you can prove to me, you are a work during COVID.

Remember, all of these bonuses are paid to people who never even went to the office.

They were. And the mayor state, Carter state, including the mayor. All of this money went to

people who didn't do a golf darn thing. How do you, how do you, Blue Collar folks feel about

that? You guys building roads and houses and buildings. How do you snow plough drivers feel about

this? Oh, yeah. I mean, we could just talk about city and. All you cops feel about this.

Talk about city and employees, the fire department. Yep. How do you water department guys feel about

this? These people did nothing. And I would say during the during the brunt of your tenure, Carter,

these people did not even show up downtown. This is a travesty. It's theft. And it just committed

in broad daylight. It's so greasy, so greasy. You know, it's just funny as I can't find.

She's from West Virginia, Jamie Tinscher. I don't know. And I can't find out anything more about

her bio. No, you want a bit of ray of hope. I am, I'm clinging to the hope that Collie her given

her background has not totally consumed every drop of mysterious Kool-Aid. Okay. She, she vetoed

the same Paul city's council same desire that fry vetoed to extend rent forgiveness to 60 days.

She sees no wisdom in that, which she should see no wisdom in it. She vetoed that in same

Paul. So I offer that as a brief ray of hope. A, it just burdens the people who own the property

and B. It burdens the renters who are broke now. Why would you think they're going to be less

broke? We even give them another 30 days. Anyway, Collie her this money came out of her budget

apparently, the Melvin money. It's not going to like that as a $5,000 to the union gospel mission

to Melvin, which is probably more than you've given to charity and your entire life.

You prove to me that all these workers were downtown from March 1st, 2021 through the end of

your tenure. I can't do it. It's a, this is all lie. It's fake. It's theft. It's just outright theft.

All of you and they'll all take the money because they don't have any character. It's just pathetic.

It is truly, truly pathetic. Hey, GLers, it's Revers here for quick links golf and quick links golf.com.

More on Tensha, she was the, Mark Dayton's deputy chief of staff. They're all in a club.

They're, they just keep clothes, cars, campaign, pretending he's working for somebody. Right.

She grew up in West Virginia, bachelor's degree in communications from Denison University.

Hey, well, she might have done something because he didn't. So she might have had to do a lot of

stuff to her credit. She began working as a promotions manager at a classic rock station in

West Virginia. So maybe she's not all day. I asked you something wrong. I asked you something.

Yeah. How big could a classic rock station be in Virginia? There you go.

West Virginia. That's even smaller. West Virginia. Okay, at your workplace, do you have a

termination settlement clause in your contract? No. Do you even have a contract? No.

Do you have a bonus situation for leaving? No. Either do I. Do you have a personal leave

arrangement where apparently if you don't take personal leave, you have a big pile of money,

do you? I do not. Okay. Do you have, do you get paid for unused vacation? I do not. I believe

the saying here is use it or lose it. Yes. Isn't that true? Yeah. You can only hang. You can hang

on to some. You can't hang on to it all. With the government, you can hang on to it all.

They protect themselves rather well. I mean, sick pay. It won't show. When most employees

are there, sick pay is as a benefit. It's not paid out by private companies. I think the problem

here is you should be working for the city because you have, what do you have in vacation every year?

You get about eight months of vacation a year, right? What do you do? That's not much anymore. It's

seven. You use about eight days of those eight months. Just think if you work for St. Paul. Oh my

God. You will never see again. It's funny. You say that because I saw today. I saw an example of

why I don't want to retire. All right. I won't name any names. But I, there's a guy near me

who's retired. Okay. I hope so. In that area, I hope so. Sorry. And I happened to catch him

this morning. I was outside getting the papers. And the trash truck was down at the end of this

street. I think I know. Go ahead. I think I know. I think I'm going to surprise you. Okay.

The trash truck was down at the end of the street. And he's looking at the trash truck. And he's

thinking, well, the north side of the street is going to get picked up before mine. He's on the

south side of the street. So he pushed his bin over to the across the street neighbors to the

north side and positioned it for pickup. So that his bin got picked up maybe 10 minutes faster than

it would have when the trucks swung around and came back the other way. And I'm thinking, you

know, that's too much time on your hands. That's a guy needs a place to go. That's a that's a

sign to me that that's just, you know, what's tomorrow? You got to buy a new toothbrush?

See, I, I thought I can't, I can't see it. So go ahead. Okay.

You told me this story earlier and I was on your side. But since then I've been, I've been

thinking about this. The main thing is he's retired, right? I believe so. He is winning in life.

If he's been doing that sort of thing since the, since he graduated from say college,

little cheats like that. Every single day, that's how you retire early. That's how you win.

You've been able to associate this to money. Yeah. He's given his win advantage.

It's an attitude, Joe. It's an attitude of I have to be first. I'm going to get mine.

I know the guy. I know the guy. Well, he's hailed fellow. Well, no doubt. He's probably a

jewellery smart, smarter than the rest of us. But I see you came up with a reason. I can't come

up with a reason. I cannot come up with a reason why you pushed your bin across the street.

Then walk back to the end of your driveway to watch your bin get emptied and then go fetch your bin.

I think this is part of that's who he is. He's a winner. And can I tell you who this guy is right

here? This is the guy that is featured in the progressive commercials that stands on his side

waiting for the trash guy to come. So he can say a couple of big loves today. How they're

Jerry? Yeah. What are we? How are we doing on the south side of the city? What's your knees?

Not your back. Just so he can converse with the guy for 20 seconds out of his day.

You already see it next Tuesday. Yeah, it's going to rain. You better hurry up.

And he's dragging it in that. You know, thank you. You're off a hair. You're off. Tell me you're

off a bit. Correct me. We have an up-nod relationship. It's not like before with Frank.

No, Frank. I drove the truck. Right. Right. Right. Well, you are that guy in the commercial.

Oh, shit. Yeah. Didn't I draw it? Do you know about my relationship with my

energy resource? Exactly. I just feel representative. I've never heard. I mean, you've never heard

this. No. Frank Delmaris was my guy. And I knew I knew him for 40 years because he was my

guy in my alley where I live prior to where I live now. And he knew just vaguely that I was at that

time. I was a sports writer. Right. And he said, you know, and I just did, he got out and

we finally knew each other's name. And I said, well, how you doing, Frank? He says, well,

I just left some twins tickets taped to the garbage can lid of one of my neighbors because I

can't use them. And he told me the story that the next time he went to a game, he was at the game

with his kid and Howard Fox was sitting in front of him because Frank had really good tickets.

And Howard Fox was Calvin's traveling secretary. Yeah. And Howard, you know, was turning around

trying to be friendly. Hey, how you doing? He looked at Frank and, and oh, wait, I screwed it up.

Frank found two tickets. Somebody left two tickets. Somebody left two tickets for Frank

under the garbage can lid. So when Frank picked him up, he put him in his pocket and they were

ended up being these great seats. And so Frank's at the Metro Dome and Howard Fox is in the

roll ahead of him and Howard Fox turns around and he looks at Frank who he didn't know. Frank's

sitting there with his kid and Howard says, season tickets. Frank says, no, I found him taped to

the bottom of garbage can lid on my route. Howard Blanche and turned around and see you later.

But I got to know Frank. That made sports illustrators. Did it really?

I'm sorry. We got the sports illustrator. Yeah. Do you remember? You're right.

How did you go from being? How did you get behind the wheel? Okay. So now I move and sure enough,

Frank, Frank is my guy. Yeah. And it's highland sanitation. And I was, I wrote column about him.

I had a name for him. He was energy resource recycling agent field representative. Okay.

He would give talks at the kids school and on career days. He was the happiest trash collector

you'll ever meet. He was good. He was good at it. See, that's the key to life. Be good at whatever

you do. And he was a great trash guy. So, so he got a new rig and he's showing it off.

He says, why don't you drive it? So I got in. I drove the hell yeah. And you're sitting way

up high. Yeah. Way up high. Going through. It was wonderful. He was the guy that we had dinner

at his house one night. And it was, uh, what are those birds? They can wrap morning stuff.

Morning stuff. And a leg of, um, that's an aesthetic. A leg of venison that he grilled. Oh,

and he did get a visit from the DNR. We talked about it on the radio. Yeah. They did come and see him.

Gabe was, I think, two years old and Frank pulled up in the machine. The truck and Gabe got two on

your rock. Yeah. Yeah. Good rich. And Gabe got to ride on the back down the hill. Oh, cool.

And pull the lever. Oh, cool. I thought Gabe was going to spontaneously combust. And then Gabe

siphoned the gas out of the tank and drank it and drank. That's good. Frank. You're going to

burn out. There are two blocks. Gabe's been self-medicating since a very, very young age.

What I love about that story is that you have a guy. We all have guys for that. I don't

anymore. He retired. But in most cases, we have a guy. Now it might be early spring right now,

but it's not too early to start thinking about your summer landscaping projects. We have a guy,

or I should say, we have a crew for that. Allow us to help get hooked up with our guys at professional

about? How did that happen? What were we talking about the retirement retirement retirement retirement

Oh, retirement. How do we get talking about retirement?

Joe doesn't want to retire. No, I saw a sign that I didn't want. I saw a sign that you didn't

want to retire, you know, because got it. It's

Remember now walls will not let me deduct any money in a federal program. If I don't

money to private schools, you're busy. That would be detrimental to the failing public education

system. He presides over. I'm not inditing teachers, by the way. I am inditing your top heavy

administration. Yes, ridiculous. But I was reading about the blame high school English course.

Mm-hmm. And the parents are seeing some of the books that the kids are assigned

are inappropriate. You have a fun one? Oh, of course I do. I can't move on until you do it.

Which one's that? That's the newest one. That's the newest one.

That's the big one. Which one is it? James Barker.

The books the kids are required to choose from include one called Last Night at the Telegraph Club

or a sexual interaction between two girls is graphically depicted. Let me stop right here.

I personally would never ban a book. I personally would not. Would you be selected?

I'm not done. Oh, okay. I would not. You have to be that way, Kenny. That's okay.

I'm not offended. No, I know you're not. In fact, you take it as a compliment. Exactly. Thank you.

If kids want to read this stuff, that's that's their problem or their parents problem.

What I am opposed to is this being made part of a curriculum.

It's not the school's business to sexually indoctrinate kids. Okay. If you want to read that

kid at home, your mom says, great, that's go for it. I don't care. But in the schools that I have to

pay for, apparently it's very common to have these kind of books that the kids are to choose to read.

Okay. You know, and then they'll come up with some BS excuse why they shouldn't read

to kill a mocking bird or something. That was in my next reference.

The books, students were required to choose from included one called lesson at the Telegraph Club.

Okay. A book list for a ninth grade honors English class at Blaine High School is full of

inappropriate titles. A concerned parent shared this. And alpha news picked it up.

What's the name of it? I'm looking up as you know, I'm not going to last night at the Telegraph Club.

Students were given a list of 11 books and required to choose one to read for a class book club

discussion. My concern and the concern of many other parents, this is a quote, is that a large

number of the books in the list have been banned or repeatedly challenged in schools across the

country. Many due to explicit sexual content and other mature themes. The parents said,

wish I had the, the, quit looking that up. See if you could give me the rundown of the Telegraph Club.

I'd rather have a rundown of what 11 books were available to the kids. Oh, it's in the story here.

If I can get to it, okay, I'll never mind. I'll get to it. All right.

The book students were required to choose from included last night's Telegraph Club. We're

a sexual interaction is graphically depicted. The hate you give, the letter you, the hate you give

as another book on the list that has also been frequently removed from schools across the nation

because of its vulgarity, sexual references in the way the book portrays police brutality.

I'm sure the book would be very unfair to police. Other titles on the list include Concrete Rose.

I've never heard of this and I'm pretty well read. The Fire Keepers daughter. We are not from here.

Ready Player One. Words on bathroom walls. The grace here. I am not your perfect Mexican daughter.

Internment and between shades of gray. Where is where is fine literature here? Where is that's where I

was going to any of these titles? Words of something meaningful. English class, when you read

an English class, I thought traditionally was encouraged to make you fall in love with reading.

Make you passionate about reading books. Ruck, look up for me. Words on bathroom walls. What would

that be about? Isn't the world ugly enough without having ninth graders read this stuff? Why don't

you read something? Catcher in the Rye. Mark Twain. That's, I made a list of the books I was

forced to read. Catch 22. Catch 22. But this is ninth grade, remember. Fourth grade.

Fourth grade of Dorian Gray. Some Anne Ryan Rand book. I don't remember what the title was.

I don't hear if they don't read that. Super boring. Catcher in the Rye. You said that and animal

farm. Anything Mark Twain. All of those books lit a fire in me and I've been reading ever since.

Ninth graders. Mark Twain was the first guy to write about children responsibly. He treated

children as real human beings. It's the first author that ever happened along that way.

Joe, you know why they won't read Mark Twain because that's Jim in it. James, our friend James.

Ruck, what'd you find? Words on bathroom walls by Julie Walton, a young adult novel about a

witty introspective teen named Adam who navigates high school by living with paranoid schizophrenia,

chronically his experiences through journal entries as he takes part in an experiment of the drug

trial to manage his hallucinations and falls for a new girl Maya while trying to keep his illness

a secret. The book is praised for its honest humorous and uplifting portrayal of mental illness,

relatable characters and its exploration of love, friendship and acceptance. Stop.

Read me another one. Find. No, I think there's a theme that I'm identifying a theme here.

Okay. Do concrete roles. Whoever can do it faster if Gabe wants to participate.

The adult novel by Angie Thomas serving as a prequel to the hate you give focusing on stars,

father, maverick, Carter as a teenager in Garden Heights. The story follows a 17 year old

mav as he navigates gang life. His father's prison sentence and his mother struggles only

to discover that he's a father himself forcing to him to stop. Do we are not from here?

Then I'll identify the theme that's being.

A young adult novel about three Guatemalan teenagers, Polka Chico and Pequeña,

who flee their homes in a bark and a perilous journey to the U.S. border,

riding the dangerous train system known as La Bestia. Inspired by our current events,

the story follows their harrowing escape from violence and gangs, exploring themes of survival

family and hope through alternating first-person perspectives with elements of magical realism.

The book is praised for its powerful poignant and unflinching portrayal of the migrant experience.

I've got one that let me read this one. It fits in with what Matt just read between shades of gray.

Historical fiction, 15 year old, who is deported from Lithuania to a Siberian work camp

by Soviet officers in 41, forcing her to fight for survival while documenting her experiences

through drawings. All right. And last telegraph club,

set in 54 San Francisco following Chinese American teenager Lily Hewish and navigates her

identity. She starts the telegraph club as a lesbian bar in China. There's the theme here.

You're right. So here's the theme. And I said before I'm not holding I'm not enditing teachers.

In this case, I will the teachers or the committee that got together and put to go this reading list.

These are all books of about marginalization. They're all about victims. They're all about oppression.

There is nothing uplifting here. There is nothing too suggest higher, higher reaching. This is all

about somebody who's been screwed by this system. The system is they identify. That's my guess

with the theme is I don't even know if they consciously were going after that theme, but the theme

they came up with is let's come up with a list of books. And it's going to be about somebody

whether they have mental illness, they're a lesbian, they're this, they're that we're going to

explore the whole world of marginalization. And then when they graduate, they can go to Winnipeg and

become new Democrats. Do you want the most 10 common high school books? Yeah. Mockingbird.

Well, that's not on here. Gatsby. Not on here. Oh, that flies. Not on here. Animal farm. Not

on here. Romeo and Juliet. Not on here. 1984. Not on here. Catcher. Not on here. Mison man.

Not on here. Mechbeth. Not on here. Night, which is about the Holocaust. Okay.

Huh. Could you say the same for those titles, Joe, that you just said for these new titles?

It isn't kind of that's what's catch 22 and catcher. Well, some of them are self-sacrifice.

They're not a lesbian bar or transgender. These had no, they're not the same. They're certainly not

great literature. Let's for sure. Mockingbird's great literature. Yeah. Yeah.

The Gatsby, you know, that's my cousin. All right. Be careful what you say. I forgot about F. Yeah.

That big ship that went down the F's cockpit. Yeah. That was a tough November.

Thanks a lady. The legend. The parents said that several people contacted her after she shared

her concerns about the book list on Facebook. Yesterday, we received her book club lists and I'm

literally sick to my stomach after looking into these books, explicit sexual content, content,

anti-Christian, LGBTQ, anti-police, feminist, and just extremely inappropriate. Students have to

choose one book and a backup book from the list of 11, but we were only able to find one book on

the list that we would be okay with her reading, she wrote. She also, this is a parent talking.

She also connected with some individuals with the Anoka Hadapun School District who worked with

her and other other concerned parents to add additional two titles to the 11 that the parents

deemed more appropriate. The 11 books on the original list will remain as part of the curriculum.

Do they tell us what the two new ones are? I appreciate the district's effort, but it doesn't

address the core problem. These sexually explicit books are carefully selected and presented to our

kids as part of the required curriculum. That's where I also disagree with. I don't care if the

kid wants to read that book about telegraphs at home, that telegraphs home. That's her problem.

Go ahead and read it. I don't give a damn. Question, do you mind that being in the high school library?

Yeah, I do. Okay. Yeah, so not just you don't want it part of the curriculum, you don't even want it

in the building. I don't know. Yeah, that's what I can, I don't know either. That's why I've

guide me here. Fireworks committee. Well, as long as it's next to an alternative, like

catcher in the rye or to kill a mockingbird, that better also be available. If the library's full

of that, then I don't want them in the library. If there's a balance in the library, I'm cool with

that. She said that some parents reached out to her saying she didn't even think to review

the list for age appropriateness because they trusted the school. When I asked how these books

were deemed appropriate for ninth graders, I was told it was based on the Minnesota academic

standards. This is the, these are the schools that I have to pay for, but cockwamble wall, let me

donate to another school. But those standards only define the skills students must master. They

include no age limits or content restrictions. The parents had decisions about mature material

are left entirely to local school districts. This raises the question, where is age appropriateness

actually determined if at all? The books on the list were purchased by the school in 2022

as part of the intro literature for HMH curriculum. What's HMH? I don't know. The school district

has a process to provide alternative curriculum material options upon the request of a parent or

student. The district said there is also a format, a formal complaint process that could be

pursued regarding instructional materials if that is of interest to parents and guardians.

I just think it's BS. It's by design that these are what they are. That's by design, nothing

can persuade me otherwise. HMH is Houghton Mifflin-Harkor, a publishing company.

There are of a mind to indoctrinate. I don't know what those books would do to inspire a child's

love of reading. You know who made me hate reading? Falkner. He should be banned from all libraries.

If you like Falkner. Yeah, but now you're talking about boredom. That's what I was going to say. If

you claim to me, you love Falkner, I say to you, you don't understand one word he wrote. Nobody

gets Falkner. I'll give you a Southern author. I bet you haven't tried Tennessee Williams. I love

him. Walker Percy. I've heard the name. I've never written anything. The movie go by Walker Percy.

Try that. One of the neat things about having a whole home water treatment system is you never

have to buy a bottle of water. And that's, of course, unless you go out of town, like I'm currently

doing, but that's the beauty of a brand new whole home water treatment system offered by my

friends at Hofferman Water and Connecticut. There are so many benefits that go beyond just that

treatment system for hard water, iron and chlorine. But having that fully third party certified reverse

osmosis system can take reduced contaminants that are commonly found in water in both city water

and also well water. And I made that switch. In fact, when I moved into my home three years ago,

that's the very first thing we did is at Hofferman Water and Connecticut install a whole home water

treatment system. And it has made an amazing difference in the quality of my water. And it will do

the exact same thing for you to, but you have to get on that schedule and have them come out to give

you that free water analysis. And when they do that, they're going to give you what's called a

water score. And then based upon that water score, they're going to offer you solutions to make your

water just as amazing as minus. So check them out online today. It's Hoffermanwater.com. You can

book that appointment and you can also see every single water treatment system that they have to

offer. And you can also give them a call directly to book that appointment at 612 8952440. Either way,

get on the schedule and have them come up for that free water analysis. And that's because Hofferman

Water has been proudly serving the state of Minnesota for over 50 years. Please do me a favor and

mention that you heard about him right here on the garage logic podcast. Look folks, a lot of

things have been taken out of our hands. The use of our taxpayer money to grant bonuses to people

who didn't do anything and didn't even show up for work. And it ranges all the way to reading

curriculums in the public schools that are designed by committees that cockwamble put together.

You'll remember I went to McAllister once to try to track down one member of the

of the team who was a admitted Marxist and admitted anti-capitalist. He was proud of it.

How does that go? I didn't find him.

Well, to McAllister's credit, they had some security that just didn't allow any more.

I mean, I need to walk you. You have your orange car. I need your red car.

Get the front of the room. I'll give you a thousand dollars if I can use your toilet

for four or five minutes. During the last Wednesday of Mardi Gras,

Binks Balling, a 29-year-old stocks and bond salesman in New Orleans received an invitation

to lunch from his aunt Emily. Binks feels a prickle of foreboding. I'm already hooked.

And this is just the summary of Walker Percy. Yeah, the movie gore. Does it say what year was

written? I'm going to guess the 60s. Give me some time for that.

There's lots of good stuff to read, kids. I mean, if you want to read the the telegraph story,

that's fine with me, but once you balance it with something good, you know, you don't always have

to be a victim of something. 61. 61. You don't always have to be put upon. You don't always have

to be oppressed. You can make your own decisions. See, here's what here's the problem with that

kind of indoctrination. It's watering the seeds here. It's it's training you to it's training you

to believe in progressivism, which is essentially a complete and utter thorough rant against anything

that works. Progressivism doesn't work. They couldn't even get their meeting off the ground

and win a pig. It doesn't work. Or other places plug in whatever city you want. We just don't have

the proof. Well, we do have the proof. You're seeing it in two destroyed cities in St. Paul and

Minneapolis. That's okay. Pointed privilege. What does that mean pointer for? Give me the mic,

dammit. No, I don't know. That's that, but I want to talk. Yeah. Quit judging everybody. Stop.

Good God. I bet you would love. Sure I would. If I did something here, we can do that then,

huh? Jeez. Look at the time, Gabe. Wow. While I'm going to tell you about the center of the

American reefers in height, who needs them? Don't don't go down that road. Don't don't say.

Okay. Sorry. Take it back. I need to be here every day, doesn't he?

Minnesota Hall has always been a place where we build stuff, steel equipment, technology,

but we can't build that stuff out of affordable electricity. Look at your electric bills. We're

so buttoned up here in Minnesota because a cockwomble in his gang of trifectas. They locked

us into a 100% wind and solar by 2040. That won't work. It just it won't work.

There's a moratorium on building nuclear plants. All they do is provide clean, reliable energy

with no carbon emissions. The technology is safer. It's more advanced than ever, but we can't do it.

Let's not make the same mistake as other states. This isn't going to turn out well for affordability.

Go to americanexperiment.org. That's one word. Americanexperiment.org. And click on take action.

And you'll have a way there to tell your lawmakers to lift the moratorium and free the nukes.

The americanexperiment wants to protect America's energy future.

Oh, I don't have this thing.

I don't. I don't have it. Here's the guy who doesn't have a thing. Joe Sushire.

Not only is the shipping free. It's crazy, crazy fast. Let me explain here yesterday afternoon.

I logged on to custom roasting.net. I ordered the garage logic twin pack. That's two

pound and three quarter bags of dark roasted ground coffee. That's well for me. The dark roast

one bag of boundary waters, one bag of French roast. You have your option. Dark or light.

That's three and a half pounds total of coffee. And I can't believe this. I'm following the

shipping. It's already making its way to jackass ranch. I ordered yesterday afternoon.

It'll be here before sundown. And yes, the shipping is free. We all love free shipping. You know,

you know, I love it. And I can't promise. I wish I could. I wish I could promise that your

package will arrive as quickly as mine does, but you know how shipping is. I can't promise that

to you, but I can promise you that the coffee they do send you was roasted right before they

shipped it. That's why the beans and the ground coffee from custom roasting.net is so wonderful.

It doesn't sit on a shelf waiting to be shipped. They roast it, bag it, and then ship it as soon

as they get your call. And the next thing you know, you're enjoying an amazing cup of coffee at a

very reasonable price. Custom roasting on their Minnesota company. They're right there in Buffalo.

They've been around since the early 90s. So Steven, the head roaster and co-owner, he knows how to

do business. Let's call it the G L way. Be sure to click on that garage logic tab when you order

your coffee from custom roasting.net. Rook, what were the three things that we said preceded 9-11

sharks and has talking in tongues and the legislator who was involved or not involved with the

disappearance of an aid. Some like that. Yes. All right. Yes. I can't remember that.

Then I have a warning for people. And then 9-11 followed that almost immediately. I have a

warning for people. We already have the sharks. We already have the story of this most recently of

this legislator who got involved with someone who then killed herself. Remember she. Yes.

Okay. So beware. Is Ann Hesch a Harrison Ford's wife? No, they were together. They were

together. Okay. Well, be careful. If Ann Hesch starts speaking in tongues, then the war

and I ran really get out of hand. Because the latest news, there's more shark news now.

Oh, no. I get bad news about Ann. She did. We lost her in 2022. Well, that's right. She's in a car

accident, wasn't she? Something like that. Well, anyway, watch out for her speaking. Gary Condit.

Gary Condit was the guy. Shondra Levy. Oh, yeah. What happened to that? What?

That was the Levy scandal. He became the subject of national news coverage after the

disappearance of Shondra Levy, a young woman who was working as a DC intern. But he never was

convicted of anything. Was he? He was questioned twice. He denied having extra

marital affair with her. However, Levy's aunt eventually went public with conversation. She

had about their relationship. I see. Well, the sharks now around the Bahamas,

Brazilian scientists have discovered that these sharks are ingesting a lot of cocaine,

caffeine, and painkillers. Sounds like they hang out with Tiger Woods. This is not good. I mean,

I don't know why this should surprise me. The world is really screwed up now to the point where

sharks are high on cocaine. Wow. Maybe it's from the Trump blowing up those boats. There's cocaine

all over the Caribbean. It's just a philanthropic. Yes. This is the fallout from an uptick that

needs to be foghorned, gave uptick. That'll care which horn you use. From an uptick in marine pollutants

per a study commissioned in the journal Environmental Pollution.

Pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs are increasingly recognized as contaminants of emerging

concerned. We call those CECs, contaminants, contaminants, contaminants, you're on your own,

of emerging concern in marine environments, particularly in areas undergoing rapid urbanization

and tourism driven development. The researchers wrote, I'll just drop. Boy,

I haven't a little trouble. I'm glad it's getting close to the end of the show because you're

from the researchers wrote while describing the troubling shark trend. We have sharks. No follow

theirs. Right. They're just doing what they're supposed to do. You got hasty visiting the Bahamas

from Las Vegas and they're blowing cocaine right there. There we go. How bad can they be?

You know that I'm reading a book that's set in Vienna, Austria, 1913 and a lot of people

went to Vienna because they thought they had the best doctors. The doctors would give you something

called coca, COCA. From the coca plaque. What has to be cocaine? I'm sure it was. Yeah. There was

cocaine in Coca-Cola early on. I just love the fact that there's sharks swimming around with

running noses, Jones and trying to score an eight ball and call it people. I'm trying to get that

gummer on the shark teeth. Yeah. Sorry to wake you up. Can I come over and pick up an eight?

I'll be really quiet. Don't wake your wife. Oh my god. What those fins? You don't ask me how I might

know that stuff. I'm not going to. You're causing told you at the live picnic.

But this reminds me. I know a movie is going to be bad about this search because of cocaine

bear. Have you seen cocaine bear? That's when they threw a bunch of smugglers throughout backpacks

full of cocaine into a forest in Georgia and a bear got a hold of it. It started eating it by,

you know, the fist balls and then went on a rampage and it is the funniest horror movie you'll

ever see. Get this. I read a lady who I read a bottle lady. I think it was in the daily male.

So it's probably isn't true. But she ingested what she thought was cocaine.

It was LSD. Oh no. Oh no. She took 50 times more than the amount. No, listen to this. She

took 55 times more LSD than the amount that would kill you of LSD. Yeah. She went into a coma.

Okay. Okay. She had been a long COVID suffer. She went into a coma. I woke up. I don't know

what. I was six days later. Completely healthy and pain free. Her heart did not stop. No.

I'm not suggesting we run out it in just a live LSD. Yeah. That's not a good doctors can't explain

it. Did she say anything about dreams when she was under? I can't imagine the dreams. I'm sure

she did. They were probably trying to wake her up. She's like, no, I'm good. Hang on. Almost done

here. But she got rid of all the symptoms of the long COVID. I don't think that's a good.

That's not the way I would do it. What would we call it? Yeah. Only because they come to us all

the way from Penguin Tasmania. How are they going to get out of Tasmania? It's coming up. They

got doubles there. You didn't get there. From the traveling linemen who can be followed at

worldwidewaftage.com. It was on this day, March 31st in 1810. Newspaper editor James M. Good You

was born in Hebron, New Hampshire. In 1849, he established the Territory's first newspaper,

the Minnesota Pioneer, which is hanging on till this day, which promoted the territory both

within its borders and beyond. Good You died in 1852, but in 1858, Jane Gray, Swiss Helm,

used his press after hers was destroyed. See March 24. We didn't think about it. So you came

here in 1810? No, that's the year he was born, Matt. No, he was born, okay. No. Yeah, the year he

was born. On this day, March 31st, on this day in 1847, for the fourth and final time,

Seth Eastman took command of Fort Snelling. How can he lost it four times? We don't know, man.

More, more returns than Bud Grant. Hey, what are they working on over there? Are they building

something new at the fort? I don't know. What am I? Well, I don't you ever go them in

daughter bridge or by the airport? On this day, March 31st, in 1818, Roald,

Aminston, the famed Roald. Roald. Why do you say it like you have some kind of tick?

R-O-A-L-D, how would you say it? Roald. Roald. Roald. Roald.

Roald Aminston, the famed Norwegian polar explorer who had discovered the South Pole in 1911,

addressed a large audience in Duluth about the ongoing battle of World War I in appealed

to the people of the United States, especially American labor, to stand behind the president

to the last ditch and to work with 100% efficiency to the end of the war. Kind of not like that today,

isn't it? I bet that guy was a pain in the ass. You know, when I was at the South Pole and I

invented the, our discovered remarking that Norwegians in this country will be pleased to know

after the war that they too have had a share in the liberation of mankind. Aminston continued

on a speaking tour of Minnesota and later left for Norway to prepare for a North Pole expedition.

Well, how about that? Roald comes to Duluth, bitches and moans about, get to work, people.

That's God. Then he goes to the North Pole. Right, right. After I discovered the South Pole,

I went to the North Pole, where someone ate it. On this day, March 31st. In 1934.

Here we go. And I know exactly where this happened. Now we're getting it.

A shootout between John Dillinger and the FBI occurred at the Lincoln court apartments in St. Paul.

Yeah. Dillinger escaped, but a few months later was shot to death by FBI agents in Chicago.

Yeah. Don't we wish you would have got done in here?

Damn, you're Lincoln and Lexington. Yeah, promote the book. Dillinger slept here.

Dillinger slept here. The local day. No, your buddy. The architect Mitchell.

Stop John camp. No, no, it's days and nights of strange days.

Days and nights. Larry, Larry, Larry. It's not Larry. No, it's, uh, all right.

Tell me again, the name. Well, because Lincoln slept. No, not with Dillinger.

Dillinger slept here. It's a local guy. Uh, uh, come on.

I can call back to be. Yeah, that's what it was. That could be. Yeah.

Well, on this day in sports disappointment history, who would we lose to today, Joe?

March 31st, 1971, the twins released Louis Tiant. Oh, it's a great, uh,

the great wind, too. Great wind up on this day. March 31st. In 1980, the Phillies lost to the Iowa

comets in the semi finals, which must mean of the playoffs. On this day, March 31st,

next year, 1981, the Phillies played their last game, the league folded.

On this day, March 31st, in 1987, the North stars fired Lauren Henning as coach.

Was he any, he never really remember him? He was the ball guy. He had the bad, that they fired

a man. Yeah. Yeah. On this day, March 31st, in 2013, the start to view and printed the twins

silver linings. I had no idea what that's referring to. Oh, don't know what that means.

I don't know what that means. They were outdoors or at the target fields, uh, silver linings,

printed the twins silver linings. Well, I was early in the season, March 31st. Maybe it was the,

uh, who knows? I have no idea about the pole ads at that time, which they hadn't invested in

their commercial real estate. It sounds like the twins are going to be coming to town and

encountering, uh, in climate weather Thursday and Friday. If not Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday should be nice. The sun should be out Saturday. You might get a little bit of,

we're not really going to have a couple of snowstorms. Are we? No, we'll get some,

maybe I'm asking you because I'm paying attention because I'm entertaining for

according Easter, according to Barlow, we're going to get a few inches.

Well, thank you, G L Airs. We'll grace for this for, um, thank you. Don't, don't,

North American Bank. How about North American Bank? This awesome segment brought to us

by the North American banking company, Mr. Bilsky and his whole crew, uh,

Hey, garage logic is your home for so much information. I'm talking about how to sign up

on YouTube so you can watch the show live, the town council. Joe's got a pile of certificates

designed because they're a whole bunch of brand new members to the town council. And what they get

is access to garage logic prior to the show, post show, uh, grumblings and then in between when

we go to a break, you can hear us all rip each other while the ads are being played. It's kind

of fun. It's sadistic, but it's okay. That's all that garage logic dot com.

G L Airs, it's time for you to pick up the phone and call Mr. Money Talk Josh Arnold at 9529255608.

That number again is 9529255608 for a free. Yes, that's right. Free 48 minute no obligation,

financial consultation, but only if you're looking for straight talk and no sugar coated advice.

Josh, I'm curious as somebody who is very new to investing and doesn't have a big portfolio,

would you suggest trying to kind of find the unicorn company that's going to make me a lot of

money or try and go a safer route and go for more of a consistent growth.

You know, Gabe, that's a very interesting question. Find the unicorn investment or go a safer route.

Well, because I'll say old and experienced, I would tend to say starting out, go first with a

safer route. I would say when you're starting out investing to the young person and if you're

working, first thing to do is fully fund your 401k or IRA or retirement account.

You get a tax to fund and invest that money in what I'll call the most aggressive choice

that's available to you. Usually that might be an S&P index fund or some type of growth fund

within that 401k as it places to start. So fully fund that. One, you get a tax deduction for

putting the money in. Two, the money accumulates within that 401k or IRA or if you're self-employed

in FEP, the money grows without you paying taxes on it. And when it's time for retirement,

you pull the money out and pay the taxes at that point in time. So that's the first thing that I

would do, you know, is not only as a young investor, but even as an older investor, make sure you

fully fund your retirement account. Now, I've tended, when I say the most aggressive choice within

a 401k, that could be an S&P index fund or it could also be a growth fund. If you're putting these

into an IRA, you know, the same rules would apply. You know, an S&P index fund, which is

puts you with, you know, the 500 top stock and the S&P index fund is always changing.

And then in an IRA or an FCP, then you could start looking at either individual stocks or pick a

growth-oriented youthful fund. So that's the way that you're going to, over time, create, you know,

the most wealth. Now, I happen to like, I'll say, when I was starting out, like you grow funds

before moving on to individual stocks. And when it came to picking individual stocks, you know,

trying to find a unicorn is very difficult. Trying to find a stock, well, if I buy a lot of

shares of a dollar stock and it goes up, you know, to $10, I'm going to make a lot of money. Yes,

you will, but do bear in mind that large investors, namely mutual funds or hedge funds, tend to

avoid stocks trading under $5 a share. Because they like companies that are more

seasoned and typically companies that might have been seasoned and then dropped, you know,

below $10 a share, oh, shares become suspect and then show that there are a lot of issues.

Now, I have tended Gabe to focus in on companies involved in the internet,

which now extends to artificial intelligence. And you can include semiconductors within that

and software companies, companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Neta, and all in the video,

would all fit in that internet category. If I were to even stretch it, I could look at the number

of companies now that are involved in artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence that could

be even on a physical basis, like companies that are building out wrong, even companies that are

building out the robot. Probably one of the two of the bigger robot manufacturers right now are

Tesla and Amazon. So, Tesla, many people look at it as more than just a hard company, but look at

it more as a technology and even artificial intelligence company. Then I focused in on companies

in the leisure phase and that comes from something I found when I was in graduate school in

Akron, Ohio, that no matter what was going on in the economy, people in Akron, which is pretty

blue collar town, spent money on leisure pursuit. So, that's again a pretty broad

category. In my case, my leisure pursuits revolve around running and a little bit of travel,

not to mention baseball. There are many companies in that arena right now, people like to go to

live events. They want a lot of experience, so that led me to companies like a live nation,

or TKO, which is an owner of ultimate fighting and worldwide entertainment, because I've been

running for many decades. And at one point in high school and college, a little thereafter,

I sold running shoes out of the trunk of my car that I purchased from a company called Blue

Ribbon Sports, that changed its name to Nike. I was never looking for a unicorn that would be

magic, but finding existing companies that were growing at a pretty good pace and should

be able to provide a service or product to a lot of people where they're going to constantly

use that product or update that product, made a lot of sense. Probably made the most money

over time, buying a little company called Apple, and holding one through Vickinson. And I didn't

consider Apple a unicorn. And it's really tough. I mean, you can even ask people that are involved

in private equity or venture capital, finding that one company that's going to make a lot of money,

very, very difficult. And that's why they invest in a lot of companies, and just hope that one or two

make out because most of the other are going to be failures. So maybe the safer route might

have been the best. But first, of course, fully fund your 401k, or IRA, or if you're self-employed

in FCP, invest that in most aggressive plate available, which in many cases is an F&P index fund

or a broke fund. Then you can kick some with the IRA or FCP. You can take some individual

companies, but around the characteristics that I've described, making a product or service

that people with one or need, and not something pie in the sky. You heard the man, GLRs,

that's why they call a Mr. Money Talk. You don't get that nickname without knowing how money walks.

Thank you so much, Josh. You are welcome. Yes, you will. Have a good day, sir.
