A sweet broadcast here from 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app world wide in the booth next door. 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: Of course, you heard Sam Master Control Booth, who will 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: be in a new Master Control booth later on this week, 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: second to last show inside of the studio, which means 49 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: nothing to you except for the fact that I will 50 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: be behind a different microphone and a different room on Wednesday. 51 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: Yes, it's gonna look different too.

We're gonna be very close. 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: You're gonna be a lot closer. 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Better, I think. 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: I think we cut about about two thirds of the 56 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: distance between us and a pane of glass in the 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: new studio. But it's nice because you always smell lovely, 58 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: so that's right. It doesn't matter because we're still in 59 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: two different rooms. But on the show today Andrew Langer, 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: he's traveling at the moment, but we'll be checking in 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: coming up at six thirty this morning, President of the 62 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Institute for Liberty. He has his own thoughts on the 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Olympics and the hockey team winning the gold. Also, apparently 64 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: his new favorite sport is ski mountaineering. I've never heard 65 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: of this, so we will talk about that with Andrew Langer, 66 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: among a host of other issues as well with Andrew Langer, 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: and speaking of issues, we do have a lot of 68 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: ground too to cover today. So after Andrew Langer joins 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: this lawyer extraordinaire Jeff O'Brian. 70 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: Will be in studio at seven o'clock. 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court smacked down Trump's tariffs, while Trump went 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: and issued more tariffs. I mean, after you got the 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: basically the Supreme Court. My understanding is, and Jeff will 74 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: clear this up. My understanding is that the Supreme Court 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: struck down Trump's tariffs, but simply the way he was 76 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: implementing the tariffs, and they're like, you just can't do 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: it this way. So Trump is going about it a 78 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: different way. So we'll talk about that with the lawyer 79 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: extraordinair Jeff O'Brien at seven o'clock we will get into 80 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: boy the violence that erupted after cartel boss l Mencho 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: was killed by special forces. Chaos broke out and a 82 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: lot of resorts in Mexico will provide for you details 83 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: on that. 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: You may not even be. 85 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: Aware, but there was another potential attempt on President Donald 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Trump's life at mar A Lago. That man was killed, 87 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: and again you wouldn't know about it watching the mainstream 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: media apart from say Fox News because they're not talking 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: about it. I'll have details on that as well. 90 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: This morning. 91 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: Also strikes on a run today or tomorrow potentially the 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: latest on the military build up in the Middle East. 93 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: Next however, I will get you up to speed because 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: the government is still shut down. Essentially, I'll give you 95 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the latest as the shutdown hits. Travelers Global entry suspended, 96 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: although pre check is still operational, and this is despite 97 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: some of the news that broke over the weekend. Also 98 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: on the show today, we're going to revisit the comments 99 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: from Lee Finkey during that committee hearing over putting an 100 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: age verification on pornographic websites and how Lee Thinky was pushing. 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: Back against it. 102 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: We talked about this a bit on Friday show, and 103 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: I want to revisit that story from a couple of 104 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: different angles and that we've had a little bit of 105 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: distance on it.

Also, it 124 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 5: was awesome when they won that and they went on 125 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: when the golf have a great day, softest first one. 126 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: Well, and what a juxtaposition, And thank you for making 127 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: the comparison, Dennis, because you're right, that was a uniting 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: moment going back forty six years ago. 129 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: But that's not. 130 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Where we are anymore, nor a place where I believe 131 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: we will ever be again, because when you look at 132 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: the response, and we'll talk about this a bit with 133 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Langer when he joins us here on Twin Cities 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: News talking about ten minutes. When you look at the response, 135 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: you actually have a group of individuals out there saying, yeah, 136 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: it's great that the US men's hockey team won, you know, 137 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: but I'm just I'm having a hard time being proud 138 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: of my country with everything that's going on right now. 139 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: It's like, not surprised, but it's sad. It's sad that 140 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: the partisan politics have given way to such irrational fears, 141 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: lacking of common sense when it comes to specifically the 142 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: enforcement of our laws. And most of this is pointing 143 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: to the commentary around ice and what's taking place here 144 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So thank you for the talk back here 145 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: on Twin City's News Talk. I'm glad you with the 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: show this morning. John, you're talking about the Olympics, and yeah, 147 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: that's a story. But Mexico is burning down and the 148 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: cartels are running rampant. 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to get to it. 150 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: And it's only six twenty four. I got a whole 151 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: show ahead of me. Just give me time to lean 152 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: into it. Just pump the brakes a little bit the 153 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: government shutdown is continuing. In case you forgot, there's still 154 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: the government shutdown going on. The partial shutdown resulted in 155 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: the temporary suspension of both the Transportation Security Administration TSA 156 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: PreCheck and the Global Entry Security Programs, and move Homeland 157 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: Security Secretary of Christi Nome said was designed to prioritize 158 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: the general pool of voters. However, TSA said that the 159 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: TSA pre check is to remain open as staffing constraints arise. 160 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and 161 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: adjust the operations accordingly. The Democrats on the Home Security 162 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: Committee released a statement claiming the suspension of those programs 163 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: was entirely political will it was, and accused the DHS 164 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: of intentionally punishing travelers except for the fact that it 165 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: was the Democrats that didn't fund DHS over ICE. But 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: ICE is actually already funded, So this doesn't impact anything 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: other than what I just mentioned. But you had a 168 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,239 Speaker 1: post on x saying Trump's DHS is punishing travelers. 169 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: Well, if you don't approve the funding, what do you 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: expect them to do? 171 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: TSA pre checking Global entry reduced lines and heeds the 172 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: burden on DHS staff Well, Yeah, blame Democrats for grandstanding 173 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: on the funding for DHS because of the lies that 174 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: they have spewed over ICE, which again it's funded completely separately. 175 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: All right, to make the talkbacker happy, We'll get to 176 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: the story. In Mexico, chaos did sweep across parts of 177 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: western Mexico on Sunday, the killing of one of the 178 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: country's most feared cartel leaders in a military operation that 179 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: officials say was carried out with US cooperation. The Mexican 180 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: special Forces killed Nemesio Ossi Guerrera Cervantes or Elementcho. He's 181 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: a long time head of the Jalisco New Generation cartel 182 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: the CJNNG, during an operation in Jalisco. According to the 183 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: Mexican government, to Elmentcho was widely regarded as one of 184 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: the most powerful drug traffickers in the world. Following the operation, 185 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: cartel members ended up engaging in violent acts in parts 186 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: of Jalisco and other local regions, setting buses on fire, 187 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: erecting roadblocks in multiple cities. Jesus sounds like the insurrectionist 188 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: acting ice in Minneapolis. In response, Limas Navarro announced he's 189 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: a governor of Jalisco that schools throughout the state would 190 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: be closed. Now that's a legitimate reason to shut her 191 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: schools temporarily. That I agree with. Over Ice, not so much. 192 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Additional footage showed fires in the parking lot of a Costco, No, 193 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: not a Costco in Porto Iarda, the coastal city popular 194 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: with American tourists that draws millions of visitors each year. 195 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the really scary. 196 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: Part about this is that a lot of this violence 197 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: was taking place in these resort areas. Elmencho was one 198 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: of Mexico's most wanted men. The Mexican government had offered 199 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: thirty million pesos. 200 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: It's about one point seven million. For those that are curious. 201 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: I can do dollars to pesos like that, especially when 202 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: it's written for me. The United States had posted a 203 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollar reward, so that's about what like five 204 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: hundred thousand or five. 205 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: Hundred million paysos or something like that. Them's just jokes. 206 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: The US Drug and Enforcement Administration previously described the cartel 207 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: as one of the most powerful and ruthless criminal organizations 208 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: operating inside Mexico, calling it a key supplier of illicit 209 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: fentanyl and cocaine in the US. The DEA added the 210 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: group's facilitators associates operate in nearly all fifty states. 211 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty Uh, that's funny. It's not the right 212 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: word I want to use. 213 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: But people were posting videos of the cartels spreading their violence. 214 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: There was one where there were some individuals getting gas 215 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: at a gas station. Cartels show up in a white suv. 216 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: They jump out with long guns, force the individuals, at 217 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: least they let them leave, force the individuals that were 218 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: feeling up their cars to leave before they poured out 219 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: gasoline and lit it on fire. All of it was 220 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: mixed with the soundtrack to the movie Sacario. 221 00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: That's not necessary. 222 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: The videos are. The videos are egregious enough. There's no 223 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: need to traumatize them more. I understand why people do 224 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff bugs me though, because it downplays 225 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: the importance and significance of what is taking place. It 226 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: turns it into something out of a movie. And this 227 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: is not out of a movie. This is actually real 228 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: world consequences. And there's a lot of US travelers again 229 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: that are down there on vacation because you know, it's 230 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: stupid gold in places like Minnesota right now, and now 231 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: they're caught in the middle of this cartel war that's erupted. 232 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 6: Good morning, John, Sam. I have a very good friend 233 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 6: who is currently down in Portavarta. I texted him yesterday saying, 234 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 6: are you okay? And he said, no, I'm not okay. 235 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 6: The airport's shut down and you cannot get food anywhere. Luckily, 236 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 6: he said he was an early riser and was able 237 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 6: to get to the store yesterday before they shut those 238 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 6: down or they were destroyed, like the Costco.

You have not talked 304 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 8: about this yet on your show. I know it's early 305 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 8: in the show, but I would like to hear what 306 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 8: you think about the draw down of ICE agents and 307 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 8: how the Democrats said that they'll believe it when they 308 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 8: see it since we're down to five hundred now, thank you, I'll. 309 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: Get to it. 310 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to this as well. That's actually I 311 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: have that scheduled for the eight o'clock hour this morning. 312 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting to see the Democrats kind of respond to 313 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: all of this because on the one hand, you have 314 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: the obstruction insurrectionists on the streets that are claiming that 315 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: the operations are still continuing. And at no point did 316 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Tom Holman. And we have some amazing audio from Tom. 317 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: He got into an argument with an anchor over the weekend. 318 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: It's just spectacular. But at no point did Tom Holman 319 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: say that operations were ceasing. It was just the number 320 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: of agents. That five hundred number is a bit dubious 321 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: because you still have the existing agents with the industry, 322 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: with the with law enforcement that are stationed here in 323 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Minnesota sort of permanently, so that number, it's that's like 324 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: additional federal agents here.

And you know, Rikatta and Barata cheeses are 339 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 7: very similar. And you know what's listen, this is a 340 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 7: real thing to put either riccatta or Barata cheese on 341 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 7: your pizza.

There's hot honey on everything, and I'll 358 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 7: tell you it's not bad.

You're a hockey guy. 370 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 4: Right. 371 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 7: You know, it's one of those things where it's almost 372 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 7: later in life. My brothers were the big hockey players 373 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 7: and and but I've become a big enthusiast, so we 374 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 7: started going more to Caps game and Rangers games and 375 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 7: obviously USA hockey. The Miracle on ice of nineteen eighty 376 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: is one of my favorite, you know, historic stories of 377 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 7: all time, especially because it's one that we all we 378 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 7: all witnessed and one of my favorite. Two of my 379 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 7: favorite interviews have been with Mike Eruzione. But yeah, that 380 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 7: was you know, it's it's been a spectacular story watching 381 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 7: this team and watching it not just because of their achievements, 382 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 7: uh and and and the history of of you know 383 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 7: who who was involved and the missing man that they've had, 384 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 7: but you know the fact that there are two different 385 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 7: groups of brothers, two pairs of brothers on the team, 386 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 7: I think is a fascinating story as well. The fact 387 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 7: that you know, the Hughes brothers are Jewish. That's amazing, 388 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 7: you know, it's it really reads. It's really an amazing story. 389 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 7: Not quite I will say, not quite on part with 390 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 7: the nineteen eighty miracle and eye, but inspiring. Nevertheless, it 391 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 7: was a really great. It came to watch in a 392 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 7: really great overtime to watch. 393 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: I had gone off on a tangent late in the 394 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: week last week just about how, you know, posts nine 395 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: to eleven, we as a nation can just never come 396 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: back together again the way that we did in the 397 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: wake of nine to eleven, mostly because of the Internet 398 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: and social media and these bubbles forming and you know, 399 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: group think and things of this nature. And this is 400 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: a really good example because you know, you go back 401 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: to we had a previous comment a talkback from the 402 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app that was pointing back to that miracle on 403 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: ice and how it did at a time of you know, 404 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot of controversies within the within our news cycle 405 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: at the moment. It's very similar to what we're dealing 406 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: with now in different ways. But we came together in 407 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: the midst of that and celebrated together. And yet in 408 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: the wake of the hockey team winning the gold, you 409 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: already have articles being written saying, you know, hey, if 410 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: you're not feeling too proud of America even though we 411 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: won the gold, you're you're not alone. And that was 412 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: a really good example of this sort of democrat reaction 413 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: of yeah, it's great the US one, but really, this 414 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: isn't a country we can be proud of right now. 415 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 7: Right, That's that's that's where I was going to go 416 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 7: when you were talking about this, is that you've seen 417 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 7: it in the leftist press, not just because of the 418 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 7: hockey victory, right the hockey victory fly is sort of 419 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 7: in the face of this. But you know, if you're 420 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 7: feeling uncomfortable with the celebration of America during the Olympics, 421 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 7: you're not alone sort of more generally, yeah, I mean, 422 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 7: and again, we can all have our moments. Right, I'm 423 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 7: uncomfortable with the figure skater with the satan tails on 424 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 7: her on her teeth, but that doesn't take away from 425 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 7: the fact that she has had an extraordinarily beautiful performance 426 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: on the ice. Lisa Lua is and what I'm talking 427 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 7: about I'm probably but during her first name, but you know, 428 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 7: it's you know, it is amazing to sort of watch 429 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 7: the achievements. And I'm going to tell you I said 430 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 7: this to you when I was texting you this morning. 431 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 7: My new favorite Olympic sport is schemo or scheme mountaineering. 432 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 7: That is amazing to me. 433 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 6: What is that? 434 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: What a ski mountaineering. 435 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 7: It's it's, it's it was the way it was so 436 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 7: funny because the way it was described to me isn't 437 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 7: the way it was happened. There's a sprint version and 438 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 7: the longer relay version. You you telemark, which is like 439 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 7: uphill cross country skiing, you know, on your skis. Then 440 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 7: you have to rip the sort of the the the 441 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 7: anti sliding tape off the bottom of your skis, tuck 442 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 7: it in, put your skis in the back. You gotta 443 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 7: go up a set of stairs. Then you got to 444 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 7: go through a diamond thing, and then you've got to 445 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 7: ski down and it's like there are these transitions and 446 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 7: it's very intricate. Frankly, John, it reminds me of the 447 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 7: kind of games we used to play with my friends, 448 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 7: you know, not that we were skiing, but you know 449 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 7: when you were pretending to be like a snow soldier, 450 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 7: you know, you know when if you're reenacting the Battle 451 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 7: of the Bulge or or the the resistance in Norway 452 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 7: and World War two is like that. It really is 453 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 7: fun to watch and grueling. 454 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 5: Uh. 455 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 7: The US was not expected to do really well, wound 456 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 7: up coming in forth in the Schemo Mixed relay it's 457 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 7: just so much fun to watch. 458 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: It's probably not relatable, but for some reason Force ten 459 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: from Navarone suddenly popped into my head. 460 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, you know something, No, you know what 461 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: it is. 462 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 7: It's it's that, but it's also the battlestarkal Acta get 463 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 7: But so the the gun the guns at ice Planet zero, 464 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 7: which across between the guns of Navaroneah yeah, and uh 465 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 7: yeah and and uh and Ice Station Zebra. 466 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 9: Yes. 467 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 7: So that's that's what That's exactly what I think of. 468 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 7: It is that Battle Starkalactica original og Battle Starkalactica. 469 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: Talking with Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty, 470 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: also heavily involved in seapack working through a couple of 471 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: other issues.

But this, listen, this is all all 496 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 7: performative now. It's it's it's you know, we all know 497 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 7: who's the president gonna put in the gallery? You know, 498 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 7: what's the who's going to stand up? What are they 499 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 7: all gonna wear in unison to protests. Who's so, yeah, 500 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 7: it's I don't think there's gonna be anything anything new 501 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 7: there now. The only wild card in all of this 502 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 7: is if we go to war with Iran, as the 503 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 7: state of the Union is taking right, that would that 504 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 7: would certainly change things up well. 505 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: And to that point, I'm hearing that, I know that 506 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: the latest reporting and since we went there, but the 507 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: latest reporting is that is that is no, no, no, because 508 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: I was actually planning on talking about it anyways. 509 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: So this works out nicely. 510 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: So the latest reporting is that Iran once again is 511 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: look to make major concessions to their nuclear program, and 512 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: these are ahead of the continued indirect talks on Thursday. 513 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of you know, commentary surrounding how 514 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: well iron keeps doing this. They just keep moving the goalposts. 515 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: They keep saying they'll be you know, concessions while they 516 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: drag this out. And there is a potential, at least 517 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: from what I've heard, with the latest reporting, that President 518 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump may decide to launch sort of a preemptive 519 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: soft attack for lack of a better way to describe it, 520 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: either Tuesday or Wednesday, which could be as early as 521 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: later on today. To sort of be like, look, come 522 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: to the table, quitstalling things, or else. More of this 523 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: is going to happen. That's what I've heard. The latest 524 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: is regarding when and if we may launch an attack. 525 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: It might be sort of a one off quick attack 526 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: saying hey, you guys better you know, actually begin to 527 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: negotiate with us, or we are going to go all 528 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: We're going to go all in. So you're right, we 529 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: could end up having, you know, some sort of kinetic 530 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: action with Iran in the middle of when the State 531 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: of the Union address occurs. 532 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know. It's it's interesting because I think what 533 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 7: we are learning, what are the great vulnerabilities or one 534 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 7: of the great flaws of I will say modern but 535 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 7: let's say the gen X international relations theory is that 536 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 7: it fails, and by that I mean sort of traditional diplomacy, 537 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 7: which is this idea of negotiation at all costs. And 538 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 7: I think what we are now understanding is that that 539 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 7: fails to address the reality, which is that when you 540 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 7: have bad actors like Vladimir Putin or like the regime 541 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 7: in Iran, they are all in favor of endless negotiations. 542 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 7: They just want to come to the table and sit 543 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 7: because the longer they're talking, the more opportunity they have 544 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 7: to consolidate whatever it is that they're doing. And and 545 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 7: so you know, this is what President Trump is talking 546 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 7: about is a one off on you know, trust but verify, right, 547 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 7: you can. You can say all you want about coming 548 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 7: to the table and wanting to you know, have this, 549 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 7: but until we actually see some legitimate action that we 550 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 7: can verify, Yeah, this is you know, you're going to 551 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 7: suffer the consequences and among those consequences. And I'm not 552 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 7: a fan of us using power to engage in regime change, 553 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 7: but at the end of the day, don't underestimate the 554 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 7: power of a threat to power for folks who are 555 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 7: in power. 556 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Last item before I let you go, and I'll share 557 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: the audio here in just a moment. But over the 558 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: weekend a lot of commentary surroundings so Ohran Mamdani and 559 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: in the wake of you know, needing to pass the 560 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Save America active voter ID, mom Nanni is now requiring 561 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: New Yorkers to show ID in order to borrow a shovel. 562 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: You cannot make this stuff up, Andrew Langer. 563 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 7: Not just a form of ID, John, but four or 564 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 7: five different including right if you want to become a 565 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 7: licensed snowshoveler in New York, you you literally have to 566 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 7: have two passport size pictures that you need to bring 567 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 7: in with you. Now, it's funny because I was just 568 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 7: at the New York a couple weeks ago. I actually 569 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 7: heading back to New York on Wednesday, a little nervous 570 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 7: about you know, what's going to be on the ground 571 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 7: when we land on Wednesday. But this gets into the 572 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 7: fundamental disconnect between what the Democrats say is important and 573 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 7: what they actually performed. Yep, yeah, And so you know, right, 574 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 7: it's not about it's not about not being able to 575 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 7: get an ID. It's the government being able to pick 576 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 7: and shoes. You know what activities you're able to engage in? 577 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 7: This literally is Listen, Folks always say, right, you know 578 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 7: socialism only failed because it wasn't real socialism. Well, we 579 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 7: got a legitimate socialist as mayor in New York. And 580 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 7: what's the first thing that he does. Not the first thing, 581 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 7: but among the first things that he does, he says, Okay, 582 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 7: we're going to pick and shoes. Who gets the shovel 583 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 7: blow off the streets? Yeah, to come in with five 584 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 7: different forms of ID in order to do that. That 585 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 7: is socialism in action, and it's socialism in action. 586 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: Andrew Langer, safe travels. 587 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: While you're traveling around, Is there any place you would 588 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: like to direct the individuals listening to your voice of 589 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: this morning? 590 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 7: Listen.

You've heard time 646 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: and time again over voter ID that minority groups simply 647 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: are incapable of being able to get the proper paperwork 648 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: to get a voter ID.

Democrats 655 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: do not care about the groups that they say they 656 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: care about. It is just pure politics that they want 657 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: to be able to take advantage of.
