| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:14.8 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:15.7 | It is Thursday, January 29th, and we just heard from an adult in Minneapolis. And with that, welcome to this episode |
| 0:23.3 | of Amy and T.J. I say that role was because we just listened to. He's wrapping up, but Tom |
| 0:28.9 | Holman, the new person in charge that the president has sent there. He has said some things now |
| 0:34.3 | that makes you actually think, you know who I thought about? What was the guy they put on the ground after Hurricane Katrina? Honoree? Yes. It makes it seem like there's chaos |

| 1:34.2 | his job. And maybe that's what's needed right now because everybody who stepped in front of a microphone |
| 1:38.6 | has had some emotion in that voice. I had not thought about that, but you nailed it. You actually need somebody |
| 1:45.7 | who can take emotion out of it and get things done the way they need to be done with less emotion. |
| 1:52.5 | And that is what tends to lead to the violence. So you're right. I hadn't thought it, but he is |
