Former Saint Paul City Council member Dave Thune pulls up a chair at the Crabby Coffee Shop to talk about what’s happening at City Hall: Mayor Kaohly Her, Police Chief Axel Henry, the lawsuit, and what it takes to actually run a city. Thune spent two decades on the council representing Ward 2, downtown, West Seventh, the West Side. He knows how council, mayor, and police actually work when the cameras are off. Kenny and Jay get into the current fight: Henry’s lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, unwanted contact, and retaliation; the city’s investigation that found “offensive and inappropriate behavior” but did not substantiate harassment or retaliation; and the budget pressure on sergeants and commanders. They talk city council dynamics, how a mayor and police chief have to work together (or don’t), public safety staffing, and the politics of a high-profile lawsuit that landed days after the city released a short summary of its report.

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry is suing Mayor Kaohly Her, alleging she repeatedly sexually harassed him and other members of the police department and retaliated against him when he came forward.

Not a press release. Not a slogan. What it costs to live next to a camp that grew into an outdoor settlement. Then downtown weighs in.

Collins helped organize two dozen Saint Paul business owners to put their names on a letter backing Mayor Kaohly Her’s push to get the encampment problem under control.

A woman jailed for nearly six months for a crime she says she could not have committed is now suing the city of Fargo for $10 million.  The Tennessee grandmother Angela Lipps was arrested last summer after Fargo police used AI facial recognition technology to connect her to bank thefts. Her lawsuit claims a detective relied only on that AI technology, even though Lipps has never even been to North Dakota. Charges were eventually dropped after her attorney provided bank records showing she was in Tennessee at the time of those thefts.  Lipps says she lost her home and car while she was in jail for something she didn't do and was denied basic care while she was behind bars. Fargo's former police chief previously acknowledged mistakes in the investigation. The department later required more AI training and changed its facial recognition rules. The city of Fargo has not responded to the lawsuit.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote next week Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote in a Senate committee next week after he invoked the Fifth Amendment in a hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origins.

Another mass shooting in Minneapolis by a man who should have been in jail, when is enough going to be enough?? Law enforcement says three people are dead after at least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon. A source confirmed that one of the dead, the suspect, died by suicide. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is now investigating the use-of-force by Minneapolis police officers, although the extent of that force is still unclear. Some residents began returning to Loring Towers — all but the ninth floor has reopened so far — as cleanup continued Thursday. However, some residents can’t yet return due to damage from the shooting. The shelter that had been helping residents since Wednesday evening has closed since the apartment reopened. Lindsay Clancy jury deliberates a 6th day, one deadlock report away from a possible mistrial A tense moment played out at the defense table in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial Thursday, as her attorney, Kevin Reddington, gestured with papers in his hand and then stepped over to speak with Clancy. The scene came as the jury of nine women and three men continued to deliberate. Jurors have twice reported they were deadlocked, and the judge has urged them to keep working toward a verdict. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

• Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s trial are continuing their deliberations after they informed the judge this morning they were unable to reach a unanimous decision. The judge sent them back to keep deliberating. • The Massachusetts mother is accused of murder after strangling her three young children. The jury could consider charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter. • Prosecutors have argued Clancy acted “intentionally, rationally, and swiftly” to kill her children. The defense, however, has argued Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. If the jury finds Clancy not criminally responsible for the killings of her children, she could spend the rest of her life in a hospital.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York looked stunned as police descended on his rental vehicle when he tried to meet up with a $160 prostitute in an Ohio trailer park — while still wearing his wedding ring, bodycam footage obtained by the California Post shows. York, dressed in a Yankees T-shirt, basketball shorts and tennis shoes, was pulled over in his rental Volkswagen SUV in East Palestine by officers and quickly taken into custody without issue, according to the footage. One of the cops later discovered two of York’s phones in the rental car’s center console, the footage shows. When police sent a test text to York from the number listed on the undercover ad that led him to the trailer park, one of the phones is seen lighting up with an apparent notification that featured the words “the nude girl.” York was at the mobile park home after he had agreed to shell out $160 to a woman for sex after reaching out to her through the ad on a website known for prostitution, according to a Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force incident report.

Dolly Parton, the country singer, songwriter, entertainer and entrepreneur whose rags-to-riches story, outsize persona and prodigious vision and talent placed her in a class by herself, died on Tuesday in Nashville. She was 80. The death was announced in a video posted on social media by her nephew, Bryan Seaver. No cause was provided. Concerns about Ms. Parton’s health, which began last year as she postponed and later canceled a Las Vegas residency, grew to the point that she took to social media last fall to confirm that “I ain’t dead yet.” In May, she said she had responded well to treatment after, as she put it, her immune and digestive systems “got all out of whack” in recent years. Ms. Parton’s life, as depicted in autobiographical songs like “Coat of Many Colors” and “My Tennessee Mountain Home,” was the stuff of make-believe, from her hardscrabble beginnings in Appalachia to her glittering stardom in Nashville and beyond. The writer Chet Flippo likened her to the Big Rock Candy Mountain, the Depression-era symbol of abundance personified by Ms. Parton’s voluptuous figure, rhinestone-studded stage costumes and blonde bouffant wigs. Her songs spoke to millions, confronting privation and loss even as they radiated possibility and hope.

Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children. Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill. The livestreamed trial has sparked massive discussions online and has brought attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington says she had that is linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Reddington said she also has bipolar disorder. After strangling her children, Clancy jumped from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Ramsey County gang lawsuit: 6 members agree to skip Minnesota State Fair On Wednesday, an agreement was reached between Ramsey County and some alleged members of the “Muddy” and “Ville” gangs in connection with a civil lawsuit seeking to prevent gang members from gathering at the Minnesota State Fair this year.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom said Friday he is declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft, saying he has examined the league’s eligibility rules and believes they make him eligible — a claim that is not supported by the WNBA’s published rules. In a video posted to X, Mr. Freedom, wearing an orange WNBA-branded sweatshirt, said his team had “carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion.” “Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027,” he said. The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement does not contain a self-identification standard. Article XIII, Section 1(a) of the 409-page agreement states only that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” and does not define “woman” or address gender identity anywhere in the document, according to an OutKick report. Neither the WNBA nor the players’ union has publicly clarified how eligibility would be determined for a transgender or self-identified player, the outlet reported. Freedom, an 11-year NBA veteran and the third overall pick of the 2011 draft, said he was not trying to mock anyone. “I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices,” he said, adding that he wants the WNBA’s rules “applied equally, consistently, and without exception.” The post is capitalizing on controversy surrounding remarks from Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who said in a July ESPN profile that she wants to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to compete against biological men, while maintaining she does not “hate trans” people. The remarks have prompted rallies and counter-rallies outside WNBA arenas, and Cunningham addressed the fallout again this week, telling a USA Network broadcast that she wants “love and respect” to remain even amid disagreement, while lamenting that the debate has overshadowed the basketball itself, according to an OutKick report.

The WNBA has a major marketing problem making Sophie Cunningham the villain in the trans movement. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham sparked a major WNBA controversy by stating she believes transgender women and girls should be barred from female sports categories to protect biological females and fairness. Her remarks generated intense public debate, on-site fan rallies, and opposing demonstrations outside arenas. The Remarks: Sophie Cunningham stated in a media profile published in July 2026 that her stance is focused on safety, fairness, and preserving opportunities for young girls rather than malice toward the transgender community. [1, 2] Arena Protests: Consecutive Indiana Fever away games—including matchups in Portland and against the Minnesota Lynx—drew organized groups of both critics and supporters holding demonstrations outside and inside the venues. [1, 2] League Responses: Figures across the league responded diversely, with Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wearing a "Trans kids belong" shirt, while teammate Caitlin Clark emphasized that the team's primary focus remains strictly on basketball See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote next week Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote in a Senate committee next week after he invoked the Fifth Amendment in a hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origins. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul led the charge to have the now-retired infectious disease expert testify. But Fauci declined to answer dozens of questions from senators. "Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion," said Fauci. "Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions. Thank you." Paul told CBS News he believes Fauci could be prosecuted for not answering questions during the hearing.

This core set of goods will include all fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with 20 other essential items like cheese, milk, and bread. Here's how it will work. Once a month, our five city-run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month.

Artificial intelligence models from OpenAI staged a breakout this month. AI researchers will often ask models that they're testing to perform a task without having access to the internet. It's like taking a closed-book exam in school. OpenAI says two of its experimental models escaped that isolated environment to cheat on the test. According to the maker of ChatGPT, the models gained access to the internet and hacked into another AI company called Hugging Face. OpenAI called it, quote, "unprecedented cyber incident" and the CEO of Hugging Face said it was, quote, "an attack unlike anything we've seen before." To better understand this, we called Nate Soares. He's the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and coauthor of the book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies." Nate, so I got to be honest, and I hate to do this - defaulting to Hollywood (laughter) on questions about AI - but it sounds like "Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines" meets "The Matrix."

Sheriff Bob Fletcher joins the Crabby Coffee crew for a no-BS conversation you won’t hear anywhere else in Minnesota media. The longtime Ramsey County lawman sits down and lays it out straight: the growing problem of Somali youth gangs fueling violence in the Twin Cities, the hard numbers on the roughly 300 kids driving the chaos, and why pretending it doesn’t exist helps no one, especially the Somali community itself. Fletcher talks candidly about what it’s like to wear the badge in today’s political climate, where telling the truth gets you labeled and common-sense policing takes a backseat to optics. But at the heart of it all? A guy who’s spent decades building youth programs, gang intervention, and safe schools because he genuinely wants to do right by the kids and keep families safe. No political agenda, no grandstanding, just a cop who still believes in results over rhetoric. If you’re tired of tip-toeing around real problems, this episode is for you and remember: anything that needs figuring out can still be figured out… even when the politicians don’t want to hear it See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gov. Tim Walz is defending his vote to pardon a man convicted of molesting a 10-year-old child more than 20 years ago. Last week, the Trump administration deported Tou Lue Vang despite a pardon approved by Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson in their role on the Board of Pardons. Walz said the victim’s advocacy for Vang factored in his decision to grant the pardon. “I can tell you in these pardons, one of the overriding factors that continuously influences the decision — certianly of me, I can’t speak for the rest of the board, but looks like that — depends on where the victims are at,” Walz said. The governor emphasized that this action “didn’t let this person out of jail.” Vang completed his sentence — served entirely as supervised probation — in 2019. Walz said his vote to pardon Vang was not an attempt to prevent him from being deported, though Vang is at least the third convicted felon with pending removal orders to be pardoned in Minnesota this year. In May, the Board of Pardons unanimously granted clemency for At “Ricky” Chandee, who was convicted of second-degree assault in 1993; and Jai Vang, a Laotian man who was convicted of aggravated robbery in 1994. On the same day the board considered a pardon for Vang, four others who had applied for pardons — including three who were facing deportation — were denied. Brian Evans, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, said they lacked victim support. In all cases, the Department of Homeland Security criticized the pardons as attempts to “take away qualifying convictions” for removal from the U.S. Vang was deported anyway. Walz questioned whether Vang’s removal improved outcomes in Minnesota. “I guess the question I would as is, did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day?” Walz said.

More details are emerging after an American flag was displayed upside down at a Somali Independence Day event in Minnesota, sparking both outrage and apologies in a situation that has gone viral on social media in recent days. The St. Cloud Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that on July 3 at 5:29 p.m., the department received a call that the U.S. flag was being flown upside down on a city flagpole at the Lake George Park Pavilion during a Somali Independence Day event. A video from that event, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, showed the flag upside down as event attendees, roughly 500 people at peak times, enjoyed the festivities. The department said the officer "corrected the flag without objection" and that organizers "indicated to City staff that the flag being flown upside down was not intentional." Police leader blasts ‘spineless’ Mayor Frey, Minneapolis City Council for Somali gang problem, staffing woes Joe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about policing in Minneapolis. Somali gang problem captured on camera from the 4th of July This past weekend marked yet another violent Fourth of July in Minneapolis. Dozens of car windows were smashed, there was a homicide, and several people were injured by gunfire—with some of it caught on camera. Despite the danger to the public, many local leaders seem unwilling to publicly acknowledge that there is a Somali gang problem in the city. Gamaldi, however, had a lot to say about policing and crime in Minneapolis. “I think Mayor [Jacob] Frey likes to talk tough with everyone, but I think we all know he is completely spineless,” Gamaldi said. “Because these gangs know that even if they are arrested, they’re just gonna be let right back out over and over and over again,” he said. Gamaldi pointed out who is really getting harmed by all of this: “the law-abiding, hardworking members of the community.” “You know, it’s funny because you’ll see politicians who, I will remind you, sit their asses safely behind their desks and say we need to defund and dismantle the police department. But it’s not them who has to deal with the consequences,” he added. Gamaldi explained how “defund the police” ideology shares much of the blame for the rise in violence. “When we went down this failed social experiment back in 2020 and 2021, you saw 16 American cities experience their highest murder rate in recorded history. Innocent civilians paid with their blood,” he said. Gamaldi spoke clearly about the hypocrisy of the “defund the police” movement: “You know who got it the worst? It was black males who averaged a homicide rate of 12 times that of any other race. Yet we still had these lunatics pushing defund the police.” “It is very clear that they are willing to put their failed ideology over the safety of their community members, and it’s sickening,” he added.

Minnesota State Representative Kristin Robbins, Chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, joins for a no-BS deep dive into the state’s exploding welfare fraud crisis. She breaks down how the same networks kept reappearing, why the system failed to stop it, and what her committee has uncovered through whistleblowers and public records. The conversation also covers Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s role in sponsoring the federal MEALS Act, which relaxed key oversight rules for meal providers and helped create the conditions for the Feeding Our Future scheme to explode. Robbins details the committee’s repeated attempts to get Omar to testify or turn over records of communications with individuals later tied to the fraud (many of which appeared in federal trial exhibits), and why those requests have gone unanswered. Plus: the latest on daycare fraud with over 400 open investigations into publicly funded providers and the long-overdue rollout of electronic attendance tracking. For years, only a tiny fraction (around 10% in the initial phase) of providers were using real-time online records, making it ridiculously easy to bill for kids who were never there.

Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai announces her job is just too difficult, so she’s taking a full month-long leave to treat her mental health struggles.

Johnny Heidt rolls in with the guitar news, as always, while the crew sifts through the rest of the day’s nonsense with the usual blend of gumption, cigars, and zero tolerance for nonsense.

In this episode, Kenny and Jay are joined by Ryan Callaghan—CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, lifelong Westerner, hunter, and fierce public lands advocate—for a wide-ranging discussion on some of the biggest conservation battles happening right now. Ryan breaks down the controversial Oregon PEACE Act (Initiative Petition 28), a ballot measure that could criminalize hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock practices, pest control, potentially devastating rural economies, wildlife management, and generations of outdoor heritage in the state. He also dives into the fight over Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, where efforts to open lands upstream for sulfide mining threaten one of America’s most iconic wilderness canoe areas, pristine waters, and the recreation economy it supports. Plus, Ryan shares insights on wilderness in the West, shifting animal patterns and migrations, habitat challenges, public lands policy, and everything in between—from practical conservation wins to the cultural importance of hunting and fishing as tools for wildlife management.

Mike gets a tutorial on The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Inside California’s Gay-Certification Program The state is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to “LGBT” businesses. The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California’s 39 million residents. In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities. After hours of public comment and sometimes heated debate at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board meeting on Wednesday, board members voted to begin decommissioning the Minnehaha off-leash recreation area.  All but one board member supported the decision, which is part of the Minnehaha Regional Park long-term plan. The board heard from dozens of people, including many dog owners who said they have been using the park for more than 30 years.  Members of the Indigenous community argued the land is a sacred Dakota site with thousands of years of history.
