    Love the show! Podcast could use a little work just to be able to listen to Joel more when you miss the radio show.

    Commissioner, Michelle Turnberg
    If there were a minus star, that would be my rating of this episode. I chose 1 for the sake of an actual rating. A stark contrast to the "point" you were supposedly getting at all episode long; which was how does the commissioner plan to get rid of the homeless in Fargo. I was only left to assume that was your point, since you asked one sided questions as if the commissioner has total control and/or authority to rid the city of their homeless population. Newsflash: The taxpayers have no more or less freedoms than that of the homeless. Not in this country. Keep the homeless happy equals higher taxes which makes the taxpayer unhappy. Keep the taxpayer happy and the police have to enlist help to get rid of them. Which of course will result in some kind of lawsuit to the city because you violated their rights. As far as George Floyd; when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. I could go on about his exhausting wrap sheet but the bottom line is he resisted arrest...was given more warnings from officers than I would give my dogs or my kids, and then physical restraint was used. I'm sorry but too much attention has been paid to a career criminals life than the Pope himself. Let me bring it all home to one conclusion; If you believe this country and its tax paying, law abiding, legal citizens should have to give up their safe homes, earned income, and peace of mind to the likes of homeless folks, (who know their government will take care of them) and the George Floyd's (who apparently know people will fight to the death for) of the world, then you will have a country full of criminals and homelessness with no law and no taxpayers. Talking over and borderline yelling at the commissioner only made you look like a fool. Well done Michelle you have (hard to come by) tact.

    Medina Shootout Episode
    Just listened to this episode. Pretty pathetic to listen to grown men who are journalists sit around and talk about how this “affected” them. Why not interview the survivors of US Marshal Muir and Deputy US Marshal Cheshire? See how this incident affected them. These men were sworn law enforcement officers with an arrest warrant for Gordon Kahl. It was there duty to try to arrest him. It was an ongoing case. I was a Deputy US Marshal for 26 years and this incident was a crucial part of the history of our agency. And let me correct something that this episode seemed obsessed with. It was not about taxes. Two federal law enforcement officers were killed. It was about that. May Marshal Muir and Deputy Cheshire rest in peace. And here’s hoping Yori and Scott rot in prison forever.
