Not the usual kind of episode. We wanted to present for you the full audio of Davis Moturi's remarks to the Minneapolis City Council from Wednesday, May 13th.

If you live in Minneapolis, you've surely seen and read plenty about what happened to Davis Moturi. After moving into a new home in south Minneapolis, Moturi was terrorized by his next door neighbor for about a year.

Moturi, a Black man, made dozens of calls to police regarding threats, violence, racial slurs, and more – to no avail. That all culminated in late 2024, when Moturi was shot by that neighbor, John Sawchak, while doing yard work.

Sawchak wasn't arrested until 5 days after shooting Moturi.

This audio is unedited and is mostly Moturi speaking – but you will hear the voices of city council members towards the end, with comments and questions.

My conversation with Council Member Aurin Chowdhury about the latest from city hall. In the face of a mayoral power grab on budgets, appointments, and street layouts - are the walls closing in on the Minneapolis City Council? We talk about the recent onslaught of pundit criticism of the city council; her aspirations for a day when she isn't openly cussed at by colleagues during meetings; her thoughts on Cop City - aka, the police training facility proposal; and her plan for a moratorium on new data centers - a pause so the city can figure out how to regulate this exploding industry. And we ponder the question, is it ever ok to gift hamsters to a love interest?
