Good morning, Philip, 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: thank you so much for coming on the show. How 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 2: are we doing today? 31 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: Good morning, Well, thank you. 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: Listen, if you were to go and win the governor's race, 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: what is one of the first priorities that you would 34 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: take regarding addressing the issue of the ramp and fraud 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: here in the state of Minnesota. Like if I were 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: running for office right now, Philip, I would be questioning 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: whether or not I would even want to attempt to 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: go and tackle the state of which we are currently 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: in under Governor Tim Wallas. But I'm curious what your 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: priorities would be to go and deal with these with 41 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: these ongoing issues. 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 4: Very very deliberate plan, with a very good group of 43 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 4: associates I've had in the military for a very long time, 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: we can get after the fraud very quickly. We'll have 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: a team set up ready to audit and pull every 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 4: piece of data possible and start pulling together together all 47 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: the threads that I've alluded to in my reco referral 48 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 4: and my recent posts that you might have seen. So 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 4: we have a good team. We have a really powerful 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 4: set of individuals that I've known for decades. They're very 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: good at what they do, and we're going to be 52 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 4: pulling on this thread till all of them are in jail. 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 2: Now, you previously ran for governor in twenty eighteen. Let's 54 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: back up a little bit for those that may not 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: be as familiar as with you. It's a word is 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: familiar with you from your time running for governor in 57 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, Philippa Parrish. Give us a bit of a 58 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: bit of your background and decision to go and run again. 59 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: So I came off of my last set of orders 60 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: working with special Forces out of Fort Bragg. I was 61 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: put in DC in a suit and tie to and 62 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 4: follow the money work, which led to, yes, you might imagine, 63 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: interestingly enough, a lot of threads and connections to Minnesota. 64 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: Guess where all the money's coming from. Well that can't be, Commander, 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: that just can't be. How is that true? Well you 66 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 4: see that cornfield there, there's no daycare in the middle 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: of that cornfield, and so on and so forth. So 68 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: I came back from my last set of orders in 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, and some special operators pulled me aside and 70 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: just about the throat choked me to death. Don't you 71 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: let this go? Tell everybody you can, and I became 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: a whistleblower. In twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I filed 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: for governor and ran, and the biggest mission was telling 74 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 4: the truth and trying to get people to understand what 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: all was going on. Pass forward, we've all been starting 76 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: to see the reality of what's been going on all along. 77 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: And November of twenty four my wife and I were 78 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 4: talking about a list of things, especially concerns about our 79 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 4: children and our schools, and we just I woke up 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: and said, we just got to do this again. We 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 4: just cannot let this go. We got to keep talking 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 4: to people about how bad this is. And by the 83 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: grace of God in the Holy Spirit, we finally have 84 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: people nationwide talking about this again, and that's a blessing. 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: How has the response been so far? 86 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: As we talkle with gubernatorial candidate to Phillip Perish on 87 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: your run for the governor's office, how has the response 88 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: been so far? We have a lot of candidates that 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: have announced their intention to run or are running already. 90 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: We believe there are other individuals that are still going 91 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: to announce and get into this crowded field. I'm just 92 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: curious to hear what you're hearing when you're talking with 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: potential voters. 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: Been hearing very good things. I've been out on the 95 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: road since April of this year. We've clocked in well 96 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 4: over ten thousand miles, one hundred events plus, not just 97 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: events with the typical traditional VTOU meetings, but also just 98 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 4: my own events. Good people really concern Actually some whistleblowers 99 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 4: that have been coming to me, and I've coached them 100 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: and encouraged them how to do what needs to be 101 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 4: done through proper channels. And then eventually those people will 102 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: be coming more forward. As we gain momentum with my 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: campaign and then take office, these people will start being 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 4: a key part of how we get to the whole truth. 105 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: So the mood on the ground is very interesting, though, 106 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 4: compared to twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen, as you might remember, 107 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: John I was treated very poorly. I even had death 108 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 4: threats because of the the whistle on the daycare fraud. 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: And so the mood is much better. It's much healthier, 110 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: that there's a real appetite across the across the board, 111 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: regardless the race colored creed across the board, there's an 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 4: appetite for just tell us the truth and and get 113 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: the government off our backs and and let us let 114 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 4: us live again. So there's a really good positive mood 115 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: out there on the ground. 116 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: Talking with goubernatial candidate Philip Parish. Give it to your 117 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: background in in your knowledge of the fraud and having 118 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: you know, been a whistleblower and been privy to a 119 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: lot of this before it was widely discussed and become 120 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: as systemic as it has as it has become. I 121 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: guess I want to ask how how fixable is this problem? 122 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it seems as if at this point like 123 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: everything's going to need to be upended in order to 124 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: root out and to stop this fraud from from taking place. 125 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: I'm just curious your perspective. I mean, the the issue, 126 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: it's gotten so big it makes me wonder, I mean, 127 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: how not just how do we fix it? But can 128 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: we can we actually fix it? 129 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 4: Yes, we absolutely can fix it, and it's going to 130 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: require almost a military tactic plan, tactical plan to do it, 131 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: which sounds a little bit like an over the top analogy. 132 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: But that's essentially how I'm. 133 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 4: Approaching all of this as military planning. It's the basic 134 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 4: principles are the same. We have a situation where we're 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: trying to root out essentially, it's kind of a counterinsurgency practice, 136 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 4: if you can imagine the analogy. But we have to 137 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: go after multiple layers of this, and in sadly, I 138 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: wrote an article this morning about our very corrupt judicial system. 139 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: It's going to have to include outside help because now 140 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: we have judiciary, you know, just giving very bad criminals 141 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 4: to slap on the roofs while our children starve, literally, 142 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 4: and then they take a victory lap about all the 143 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: money that they're getting to everyone. But yet that goes 144 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: in the pockets of nothing new. We were reporting for 145 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 4: a long time how this money was supporting terrorism. And 146 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 4: it's not just terrorism in the way of what people 147 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: might think with war. There's terrorism in many different levels. 148 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: Here just the sheer corruption of infecting our judicial system 149 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: with how many times did we see in the last 150 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: couple of years how we had people compromised by hey, 151 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: don't do this, and here's some money to not talk. 152 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: So these things are real. It's not hyperbole. And we 153 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 4: can go after each of these layers in a way 154 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 4: that's sensible and I'm really really approaching it literally like 155 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: a military planning and operation. 156 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: Would you make a good point there, And it provides 157 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: me the opportunity to add some commentary that that I 158 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: haven't done yet, and that is, it's almost ridiculous that 159 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: it takes reporting of taxpayer dollars being funneled to a 160 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: terrorist organization Al Shabab in Somalia to raise further awareness 161 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: of what is taking place. I mean, quite honestly, the 162 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: fact that the amount of money through the fraud is 163 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 2: being funneled out of the state at all. I mean, 164 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: before we even get to we shouldn't have to get 165 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: to it's landing in the hands of terrorists for the 166 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: red flags to go off. Wherein this money should be 167 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: staying here in the state of Minnesota. And it's and 168 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: it's not even the money that's not just going to 169 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: fund terrorist organizations. 170 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: And yet this is where we this is where we 171 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: are where it. 172 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: Takes this extreme example to sort of wake everybody, to 173 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: wake everybody up. I mean, even to the point of 174 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: the you know, the Trump administration. I know people have 175 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: been reaching out and telling them that.

Let's get to some of your comments. Talkbacks 239 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: brought to you by Lindahl Realty from the iHeartRadio app. 240 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: As we continue the show this morning from the sixty 241 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios just 242 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: got off the phone with gubernatorial candidate Philip A. 243 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Parish. Really enjoyed that conversation. Some of you did as well. 244 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: I'm an independent, but I have to say that the 245 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 5: current prop of candidates on the Republicans side running the 246 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 5: governor demonstrate their far more capable than the other side, 247 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 5: and they would win handily if it was based upon 248 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 5: merits and competency. But unfortunately there are too many voters 249 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: like Phil and Eric in Minnesota that seemed to overwhelm 250 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 5: the system along with a fraud. But good luck Republicans. 251 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: That said, not all of the voters like Phil and 252 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: Eric go and vote. 253 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: At election time. 254 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: I want to expand upon that because it keeps with 255 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: my mentality that I have heading into next year's elections. 256 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, let's go here. 257 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 6: Good morning, John Say, your guest candidate for governor on 258 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 6: the Republican side was really solid this morning. I'm just 259 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 6: hoping that whoever gets the nomination, I should say, Whoeber 260 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 6: gets endorsed and when's the primary, if there is any, 261 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 6: is supported by all the Republicans in the. 262 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: State, as we yes unity in that matter to win. 263 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. 264 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 4: Have a great day. 265 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: No, you are absolutely correct. I will keep beating this 266 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: a couple of drums, and I have multiple drums. I'm 267 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: gonna beat them all. The one drum i'm gonna beat 268 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: that I've been beating a lot this week is the governor. 269 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: Tim Walls needs to resign. I don't have any expectation 270 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: that he's going to, but what I'm hoping is that 271 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: the calls grow loud enough to where he can no 272 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: longer remain silent on the issues that we've been talking 273 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: about since late last week into this morning, and why 274 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: I went on Fox News last night, and what Laura 275 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: and Fox News have been covering since last week as 276 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: well with these latest fraud revelations. 277 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: So I'm going to keep beating that drum. 278 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: I'm also going to keep beating the drum that there 279 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: is no debating now with Democrats and that Republicans need 280 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: to be solely focused on turning out voters. The candidates. 281 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: Differentiate yourself from one another. Explain your case why you 282 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: want to be at the top of the ticket, why 283 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: you want to be the nominee. I don't care what position, 284 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: but in this case, we're talking about the governorship. But 285 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: don't destroy your competitor in the process. And the same 286 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: thing rings true for voters. Support the individuals you want 287 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: to support, respect your fellow Conservatives candidates, even if you 288 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: don't agree, and make your case, but be respectful, and 289 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 2: then whoever is chosen to be the nominee coalesce around 290 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: that individuals and get as many people out to vote 291 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: as possible. All you have to do is increase the 292 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: number of individuals who are eligible to legally go and vote, 293 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: and you can win elections. There is no debating with 294 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: the left right now. Look at that Aten Bean lunatic 295 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: that we've been talking about in Tennessee. Now, she doesn't 296 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: have a good shot to win, it's more than likely 297 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: an incredibly safe GOP seat. But that person represents your 298 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: typical Democrat right now, Senator Reuben Diego, his lunacy, the 299 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: seditious six in that video. There's no debating with them, 300 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: there's no rationalizing with them. 301 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Look at the. 302 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: Way that Democrats here in Minnesota have reacted to all 303 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: this fraud. 304 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: The voters are concerned about this. 305 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: I don't care which political party you belong to, you're 306 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: not down with fraud. Unfortunately, too many on the left 307 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: buy into the arguments that are put out by radicals 308 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: like Johan Omar and Keith Ellison. This has all happened 309 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: under Governor Tim Walls's watch. 310 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: Oh and to that. 311 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 7: Point, as we move into voting season here for the 312 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 7: next year, remember on this fraud that has been occurring 313 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 7: has been occurring under Tim Walls and every single Democrat 314 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 7: they all voted in goostep with Timmy Walls. They are 315 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 7: all complicit in all the fraud that's going on. So 316 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 7: when you walk into that voting booth, start voting to 317 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 7: benefit the state of. 318 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: Missol arm yourself with irrelevant data. 319 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: Autism Medicaid spending exploded from three million to three hundred 320 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 2: and ninety nine million in five years. That is a 321 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 2: thirteen two hundred percent increase. Autism service providers jump from 322 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: forty one to three hundred and twenty eight, a seven 323 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 2: hundred percent increase, many linked to the same networks. Minnesota 324 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: Housing Stabilization Services program was so overrun with fraud that 325 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: the state to shut it down entirely. Feeding our Future 326 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: stole three hundred million meant to feed hungry children, the 327 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: largest pandemic meal fraud in America. 328 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: And while it's not fraud. 329 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: It sure felt like it when the state had a 330 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: twelve billion dollars surplus and we didn't get any of 331 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 2: it back. And in that time when that happened between 332 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty four, the Minnesota Chamber of 333 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 2: Commerce itself says that Minnesota is failing every single relevant 334 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: economic metric. Arm yourself with that data, memorize it, have 335 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: your own little mental script going so that anytime you 336 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: have a conversation and somebody is talking. 337 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: About well, they might go and through my support by 338 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: Governor Tim. 339 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: Wolves, you have that file accessible in your brain to 340 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: pull up and go. You might want to think twice 341 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: about before you head to the voting booth to vote 342 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: for the guy who's constantly lied to the American public, 343 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 2: was rejected by the rest of the country, still commits 344 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: his stolen valor, all of which happened under his watch, 345 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 2: which is why he needs to resign. More of your 346 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: talkbacks coming up in just a moment, including your talkback 347 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: of the day. In twenty twenty and again in twenty 348 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: twenty three, the state of Federal Single Audits found the 349 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota Department of Human Services did not complete a recent 350 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: information system security review of the system that determines who 351 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: is eligible to receive SNAP benefits. Also under Governor Tim 352 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: Walls's watch, the lack of security reviews left Minnesota in 353 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: the SNAP system vulnerable to breed and fraud. We'll get 354 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: to this also next here on t Wednesday's News Talk 355 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 356 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: Good morning. 357 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 8: This is k W from the great City of Minneapolis, 358 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 8: a friend of the show with a different perspective. You know, 359 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 8: I think those on the right underestimate disdain for Donald J. 360 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 8: Trump and the midterms that would bring out the voters 361 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 8: and Democrats. The dayfl instate of Minnesota is going to 362 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 8: win and win big. 363 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: Have a great day of everybody. 364 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: Thank you. 365 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: I appreciate kW. Not a foe. They not agree with me, 366 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: but he's rational. 367 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: Now I disagree with a couple of things here, respectfully speak. 368 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: I do not under estimate the disdain for Donald Trump. 369 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: For crying out loud, I mean the show has become 370 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: a place where we highlight the disdain of Donald Trump 371 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 2: from the radicals on the left. But this goes back 372 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: to what I was mentioning before on how we win elections, 373 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: and that is you just have to increase the voter 374 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: turnout of the eligible individuals. 375 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I had somebody. 376 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: Again yesterday send me their concerns putting it mildly of 377 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: the flyers that they've been receiving to be put on 378 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: the permanent absentee voter list. 379 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: Do not be concerned over that. 380 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: You are correct in your initial assessment of oh, why 381 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: am I being asked to be put on the permanent 382 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 2: absentee voter list. 383 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: This is a conservative movement. 384 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: It is a Trump supporting organization that I believe is 385 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: sanctioned by Trump out of Colorado that is in charge 386 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 2: of that effort, and it is a means to get 387 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: as many people registered to go and vote heading in 388 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: the next year's midterms. It is another attempt by Republicans 389 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: to do something different than what they've done in the past, 390 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: which is partly but largely responsible for Trump winning the 391 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: election last year. So don't be concerned when you see 392 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: those sliders. You can decide for yourself whether or not 393 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: you want to be on the permanent absent de voter list, 394 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: but it's not for you. For those individuals that don't 395 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: want to see that or don't want to be on 396 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: the permanent absentee voter list, that is for potential voters 397 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: who lean Republican or Conservative that may not go out 398 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: and vote as often to get them on the permanent 399 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 2: absentee voter list, to make sure that we can get 400 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: those individuals to go and vote. But I'm aware of 401 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 2: the disdain for Donald Trump, which is why, again, it's 402 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: about the voter. 403 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: The voter turnout. 404 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: Now when it comes to the DFL in the state 405 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: of Minnesota, going to win and win big. The win 406 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: big part is the other thing I'm going to push 407 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: back on. It's minute, but the DFL, it depends on 408 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: your definition of big. But they're not winning by wide margins. 409 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: They're winning by slim majorities. So you can say they 410 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: win and win big in terms of they won the 411 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 2: elections and now they have power, but they're not winning 412 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: by these massive margins. So I wanted to make sure 413 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: I clarified that because I don't want to give off 414 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 2: this impression that it is a lost cause for Republicans 415 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: to win elections in the state. 416 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: It's not. 417 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: We just have to put our own differences aside within 418 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: the conservative movement and make sure that you encourage individuals 419 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 2: to go and vote. 420 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: Why do you. 421 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: Think they're fighting so hard right now against what's taking 422 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: place with the exposure of the ramp and fraud here 423 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Why do you think that they are singularly 424 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 2: focused on calling everybody a racist who dares to go 425 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: and just speak to the facts of these issues. Because 426 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: they know that if there is headway made in cramping 427 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: down on this fraud, that you could see a change 428 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: in population density here Minnesota of certain demographics. That would 429 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: certainly be the case, although not enough to make a 430 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: difference in the elections, but certainly would be the case 431 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: when it comes to the temporary protection status. But for 432 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 2: those individuals that are swept up in that it is temporary, 433 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: it was going to expire in March. And it's not 434 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: just those individuals. There are families, and they're large families 435 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: attached to those individuals as well. But this is why 436 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: you hear from Ellison and Ilhan Omar and threatening of 437 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: lawsuits and Omar saying they're ignorant Trump voters. They are 438 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: trying to continue to shore up support for their base 439 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: of voters that they desperately need because they don't win 440 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: by huge margins. Or before we go any further, let's 441 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: get to your talkback of the day.

This was only just revealed last week 459 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: on Thursday through Christopher Rufo. The other reporters involved kept 460 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: the sheet here. Ryan Thorpe City Journal. The federal government 461 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: moves slow. We would like to see them move swiftly, 462 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: but they move slow. We have the Congressional Republican leadership 463 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: reaching out to the Attorney General asking him to come 464 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 2: and investigate. You have those in the legislature that are 465 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: also coming in right behind them asking them to investigate. 466 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: And we know it's on Donald Trump's radar because he 467 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: wants to ENDTPS, so it remains to be seen. 468 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: We get you into. 469 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: January next year, and we haven't heard anything January February 470 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: because we are heading into the holidays and things slow down. 471 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: Then let's go ahead and revisit the federal government not 472 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: looking into what's taking place here in the world of 473 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 2: NASCAR right now, it's being rocked. There's a lawsuit between 474 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: the NASCAR race team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin. 475 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: They've been embroiled in this lawsuit with NASCAR. Without getting 476 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: into all the specifics because it gets really detailed, but 477 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: it's basically fairness issues relating to the money that is 478 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: shared when it comes to the broadcasts, the charter system 479 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: that NASCAR has deployed. In all of this, through the 480 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: trial that's gearing up to take place, all these text 481 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: all these texts have been released from the heads of 482 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 2: NASCAR talking about really prominent NASCAR race owners like Richard Childress. 483 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 2: I mean, he goes all the way back to the 484 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: Dale Earnhardt Senior days. And these are egregious text exchanges 485 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: of the CEOs with the NASCAR, just ridiculously ripping these 486 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: individuals that made this sport what it is from the 487 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: competition side of things. I only bring this up because 488 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: I've seen complaints of people online going where are all 489 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: the Because most of the NASCAR, the really high profile 490 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: NASCAR individuals, they host podcasts. Denny Hamlin, Dale Junior, Kevin Harvick, 491 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 2: they all host their weekly podcasts. Everything is slowing down 492 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 2: because of the holidays. But I saw a post why 493 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: aren't they talking about this? Why aren't their podcasts? Why 494 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: are they all silent? It's like, dude, the podcasts even 495 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: haven't even been released this week. The information just became 496 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: available like three days ago. These things they take, they 497 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: take time. I know you would like to see swift justice. 498 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: But for as much as I love movies even I 499 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: know that life doesn't move at a minute movies pace 500 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: by any stretch whatsoever. 501 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 3: That all right, that's a lot, that's lots of process there. 502 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: I just saw you look at the me. I didn't 503 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: know if you win the chime in. 504 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 3: I'm listening. I'm listening to it all. I forgot to 505 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: get my corkboard up with the red strings, so I'll 506 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 3: work on that. 507 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: Well, you make the podcast titles, so you have to 508 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: pay attention to this stuff. 509 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: I'm trying to. That's why I'm trying to keep it online. 510 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Let's go here. 511 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 5: The fact that k W used the term disdain for 512 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 5: Trump cruise that we don't longer vote for people because 513 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 5: of policy. 514 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 9: We vote because of personality. 515 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: Well, you're you're I'll stop there. You make a great point, 516 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: but that's the left. You know, Republicans are still voting 517 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 2: for personality, I mean, excuse me, or for policy, which 518 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: is why you can't argue policy and issues when it 519 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: comes to Democrats. Right now, so let's get into this. 520 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: We have some time left from Channel five, the agency 521 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: that oversaw minnesota supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program did not perform 522 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: required security reviews of a computer system, which is critical 523 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: to the program's operation, according to the audits. Here's a 524 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: bit of the story from a Channel five on this issue. 525 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 10: Until Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the program distributes nearly 526 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 10: seventy million dollars in benefits each month in Minnesota alone. 527 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 10: Well five investigates has uncovered audits that show the state 528 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 10: did not perform required security checks of the computer system 529 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 10: that determines who is eligible to receive this money. It 530 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 10: is a discovery that has SNAP recipients like Mattel hall 531 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 10: Bestli been worried about the safety of his personal data. 532 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a bit from a Channel five. According 533 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: to the audits, the failure to perform those checks could 534 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: allow security gaps or vulnerabilities of the system to go undetected, 535 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: which can increase the risk of a security breach or fraud, 536 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: which means that there probably has been at this point 537 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 2: in time. I mean, we just have to assume that 538 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: it's fraudulent. I just assume that almost all of these 539 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: social service programs are filled with fraud at this point 540 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: in time. Every single one of them needs a top 541 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: to bottom comprehensive review. 542 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: Oh but wait, there's more. 543 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: Last week there was a bill filed banning SNAP dollars 544 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: from being spent at fast food restaurants. Senator Joni Ernst 545 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: sut In the alarm that over five hundred million has 546 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: been spent on fast food across multiple states in just 547 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: the last two years. Five hundred and twenty four million 548 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: of taxpayer dollars spent on fast food through SNAP alone. 549 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 11: What we have found is that within the SNAP program 550 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 11: there is a way for certain states to apply for 551 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 11: programs that allow those SNAP dollars to go to fast 552 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 11: food restaurants. There are currently nine states that allow that. 553 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 11: And what we have found is in just the last 554 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 11: two years taxpayer dollars going into SNAP, those SNAP dollars 555 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 11: of the amount of five hundred and twenty four million 556 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 11: dollars was spent on fast food. We know that we 557 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 11: have health issues across the board here in the United 558 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 11: States of America. Those SNAP dollars, and I'll remind everybody 559 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 11: that the N in SNAP stands for nutrition should not 560 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 11: be going to fast food. 561 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: Stands for nutrition. That's right. Want to find that out. 562 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be going to that. 563 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: It also underscores just how big and complex these problems 564 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: are and how difficult it is to root them out. 565 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 2: This is why I've been so appreciative of Trump this 566 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: second term. I think it's in large part because he's 567 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 2: aware and has been aware all of this year of 568 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: the first year of his term, that he needs to 569 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 2: get a lot done heading into next year because the 570 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: midterms are going to be crucial, especially if he wants 571 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: to continue to move forward to put the country back 572 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: on the correct track. But you've got to make these big, 573 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 2: why to sweeping moves to get it done, because we 574 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 2: spent far too much time just you know, just tinkering 575 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: at it, just needling around the edges, tinkering around. 576 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: The edges, whatever you know, word usage we want to 577 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: have for not doing enough. 578 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: As Amy Klobushar says, you know, we need to do 579 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: it with a scalpel. No, we need a hatchet, We 580 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: need a hammer. Sometimes we need nuclear bombs just to 581 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: go and blow up certain sectors of our government to 582 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: root out the corruption and frojake place. 583 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: This is where we are here when. 584 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: It comes to the fraud here in Minnesota. Speaking of 585 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 2: fast food, Wendy's. Couldn't tell you the last time I 586 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 2: had Wendy's. No, Sam's shaking his head too. I haven't 587 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 2: had Wendy's. 588 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: I used to enjoy Wendy's quite a bit. Actually they're square. 589 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Uh cheeseburger is like the square patties, Like I can 590 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: I can picture it. I'm almost salivating and thinking about it. 591 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 2: But I haven't had Wendy's in their nugets, broken, their 592 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: nugets in their shakes. Wendy's was all right in my book. 593 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 3: Yeah Wendy's. Wendy's is okay. I yeah, same as same 594 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: as you though, John, it's been a long Yeah. 595 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 2: Well, they're closing hundreds of consistently underperforming US location So 596 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: the time of you being able to go purchase Wendy's 597 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 2: may be coming to an end. The locations are dragging 598 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: down the fifty five year old chains overall performance just 599 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: barely older than I am. The Ohio based fast food 600 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 2: company expects to start shuddering roughly three hundred Wendy's restaurants 601 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 2: before the end of the year. This is in addition 602 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 2: to the closure of a hundred and forty lower performing 603 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 2: or out of date stores between twenty twenty four and 604 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, including any Dina location that was in 605 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: business for decades. Oh, you better let the Dynasty Cluncil know. 606 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 2: Maybe they can pass an ordinance to keep it open. 607 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: See what I did there? Full circle. 608 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: Wendy's report only four point seven percent declined in the 609 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: same store US sales for the third quarter. Is gen 610 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: Z even eating fast food? I mean, when I was 611 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 2: growing up and I was driving all over God's Green 612 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: Earth when I was when I was younger, right, going 613 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: to see friends, going places. This is why I stay 614 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 2: at home now. I've had my fill of outside. I 615 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 2: was outside a lot of my younger years. At the time, 616 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: fast food was necessary. But if gen Z hasn't adopted, 617 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: you know, the car culture that we grow up with, 618 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: I assume fewer people are eating fast food at this. 619 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Point in time, right, Oh what they're don't know what 620 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: they're eating. 621 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: I'm a millennial myself. I can't tell you. 622 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump, you know, last week he addressed the 623 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 2: McDonald's franchise owners, focusing on driving down the food costs. 624 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 2: And this is part of the issue too. I think 625 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 2: the fast food has actually been priced out for a 626 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 2: lot of for a lot of people. On top of that, 627 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 2: from Bring Me the News, Minnesota appears to have lost 628 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: to several Hardy's at restaurants in recent months. This makes 629 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 2: me sad because in other parts of the country, Hardy's 630 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: is Carls Junior. 631 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna ask me. 632 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 2: What is what would be my go to fast food 633 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 2: item the Carl's Junior Double Western bacon cheeseburger. 634 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 3: Mine would be the Frisco Burger for sure. 635 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 2: Okay, yep, did the double Western bacon cheeseburger like I 636 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 2: just I want one right now, But again, opportunities to 637 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 2: get them are going to be falling short. Multiple reports 638 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: in southern Minnesota did a series of Hardy's locations have 639 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: shut their doors, including both of its man Cato restaurants. 640 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: Oh better, let Walls know. 641 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 9: Now. 642 00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 2: Walls is the kind of guy that eats like a 643 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 2: Burger King. I have nothing against Burger King. It just 644 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: sounded funny in my head. Long, John Silvers, that's what 645 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 2: Walls would get. 646 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: He'd get fish from walk John Silvers. 647 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 2: Maybe that'll be a question tomorrow, because tomorrow was essentially Friday. 648 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do a question of the day. Where would 649 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: Governor to Walls get his fast food from? 650 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 2: Just across the border in North Dakota, they've also been 651 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 2: reporting the closure of two Hardy's and Fargo and west 652 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 2: of Fargo. All right, one more, speaking of gen Z, 653 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 2: Apparently municipal liquor stores are losing customers who are drinking 654 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 2: less because gen Z is drinking less, and that means 655 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: that those cities are losing money. It's because of a 656 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: trend of fewer gen Z drinkers is being felt across Minnesota. 657 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: Maybe the government shouldn't run liquor. 658 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: Stores and it should be left to the private sector 659 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 2: to go and figure out. Which just raises the question, 660 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: what is gen Z doing? Apart from staying up late 661 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 2: on on It's on their xbox and keeping me up 662 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 2: in the middle of the night. What else is gen 663 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 2: Z doing at this point in time if they're not 664 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 2: enjoying alcohol and eating fast food? 665 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 9: Coming up tomorrow and the John Justin Show on dwnching 666 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 9: his new stuff wouldn't have meant further what's happening to 667 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 9: gen Z? 668 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say, go yell at the clouds. There's still 669 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 3: plenty of fog out there, so. 670 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: Fire shop get shows. 671 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 4: All right? 672 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: Almost sound a little bit like Joe Biden right there, 673 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 2: didn't I not you know, not really ill lated effective 674 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: strategy to mobilize. 675 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: True in an sub depression? 676 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 4: All right? 677 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 2: If you missed any portion of the show today, too bad, 678 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 2: it's gone.
