1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: An hour three on Twin Cities News Talk, and we'll 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: get to our guests. In just a moment, we were 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: covering a trio of stories about how Democrats don't care 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: about crime or criminals. The third story of our trilogy 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: was a man from El Salvador. This is an individual 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: who allegedly belonged to MS their team, A registered sex offender, 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: convicted twice of illegal re entry into the United States, 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: also accused of violently resisting arrest by punching and kicking 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security highlighted him as 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: the worst of the worst on the website. However, this 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: senior US District Court Judge, Susan Richard Nelson, so the 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: petitioner's unlawful detention has been unnecessarily prolonged by a series 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: of missteps on part of its respondents, is ordering his 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: immediate release from federal custody. Also concerns that he would 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: face potential torture if you were returned to his home country. 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Let's get to a few of your comments and then 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: we'll talk with our guests this morning on Twin City's 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: News Talk. He can't return to Al Savador because he 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: faces potential torture. 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: What about all the Americans that face potential torture by 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: him staying here? 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: They don't care. I know, you know that, but the 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: judge certainly doesn't care. 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: Good morning, John, great show as always. I think it's 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 3: safe to say that Minnesota, particularly had of Been County, 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: has become a state of anarcho tyranny, similar to Portland 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: and many other cities in Oregon. And the average citizen 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 3: should not feel safe at all, while real criminals are 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: constantly given a flap on the rest. 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, John, Gonzo. 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 4: Mary Moriarty is not a prosecuting attorney. She's a defense 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 4: attorney and has been a defense attorney r entire life, 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: in her entire career. I can't believe that Minneapolis who 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: chose a defense attorney to be the lead prosecutor. It's ridiculous. 35 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: Have a good day. 36 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Gonzo, and thank you to everybody who's left 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: to talk back this morning on the iHeartRadio app. So 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: tomorrow we're supposed to see a vote in the Senate 39 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: on the Save America Act. As I've continued to say, 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: you have a successful mission and an end to the 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: mission of Operation Epic Fury. You pass the Save America Act, 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: and you have a winning strategy to motivate Republicans to 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: get out for these midterm elections later this year. In 44 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: the meantime, Democrats continue to take the most ridiculous of 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: stances over pushing back on the Save America Act. Before 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: we get to our guest, Josh Finley from town Hall, 47 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Akiem Jeffries was asked about this yesterday on Fox News. 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Is continued thoughts on the Save America Act. Here's what 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: he had to say. 50 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 5: Now, the United States Constitution also makes clear that only 51 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 5: citizens can vote. That's an institutional requirement. At states are 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 5: free to implement that requirement as best they see fit. 53 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 5: In New York State, for instance, there are strong voter 54 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 5: identification requirements that have been embraced by both Democrats and Republicans. 55 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 5: This is a phony issue that Donald Trump is creating. 56 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: There's so much I don't know is a better way 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: to describe it. Double speak going on with these comments. 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not wrong. The United States Constitution does 59 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: make it clear that only citizens can vote. But why 60 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: are the Congressional Democrats or most Democrats opposed to the 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: bill that simply reinforces what's already in the Constitution. Joining 62 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: us now from town Hall. I'm very pleased to welcome 63 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: to the show, Josh Finnlay. Good morning, Josh, thanks for 64 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: coming on the show today. I appreciate it. Good morning, 65 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: it's great to be with you. So, first off, expectations 66 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: tomorrow for the Save America Vote Act before we get 67 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: into the criticisms coming from conservatives, I have not had 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the chance to look at what, you know, where we 69 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: stand currently in terms of the votes and what they 70 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: might be looking at when it comes to the filibuster. 71 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: What's your expectation on this vote tomorrow. 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 6: Well, it's a really interesting process procedurally in the Senate 73 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 6: right now. So they're currently fifty co sponsors to the 74 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 6: bill and fifty one Republicans would vote in favor of 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 6: it if you count Vice President jd Vance, who everybody 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 6: expects would vote in favor of this. Now, traditionally in 77 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 6: the Senate, you need sixty votes to get a final 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 6: vote on the bill. It's what's called cloture. Tomorrow, though, 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 6: what we expect to happen is that the Senate majority 80 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 6: leader is going to put this bill up for open debate. 81 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 6: Open debate. It's not going to be a cloture bill well, 82 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 6: which will lead to a final vote, but rather it's 83 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 6: going to allow open debate on this bill. It's going 84 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 6: to give Republican the chance to tell the American people 85 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 6: why voter ID and only citizens voting is an important 86 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 6: election safeguard. It's also going to put liberals on record 87 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 6: as to why they want to reduce transparency and security 88 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 6: in the elections. And from there, there's a lot of 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 6: unknowns about what will happen procedurally. There's a lot of 90 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: directions that this could go. But right now it's expected 91 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 6: that the speakers Thudent are excuse me, the Majority leader 92 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 6: thun is going to let debate play out for at 93 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 6: least a couple of days from town Hall. 94 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Talking with Josha Finlay, when it comes to taking this 95 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: approach tomorrow, what do you think is this more about 96 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: getting those Democrats on record or is this more about 97 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: trying to entice those you know, two or three holdouts 98 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: on the Republican side who you know have been reluctant 99 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: to get on board with the Save America Act. 100 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 6: I really think it's a little bit of both. You know, 101 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 6: this is an issue that the American people agree on. 102 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 6: PE research Center did a poll that CNN broadcast just 103 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago that showed that eighty three 104 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 6: percent of Americans across the board believe that only citizens 105 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 6: should be voting in US elections and in favor of 106 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 6: voter ID. There aren't many issues in the country these 107 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 6: days that eighty percent of the people agree on, and 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 6: so I think by having this debate, hopefully it will 109 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 6: allow the American people to rally around those last few 110 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 6: remaining senators that are holding out on this and push 111 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 6: them over the top and get support. But also with 112 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 6: an issue that is so universally accepted and asked for 113 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 6: among the American people, I think it's going to put 114 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 6: pressure on Democrats as well. They're going to have to 115 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 6: get up there and talk about why they want to 116 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 6: go against the will of the people and why we 117 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 6: shouldn't have to identify who we are when we go 118 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 6: to vote, and I think it's important to put them 119 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 6: on the record for that as well. 120 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: Talking with Josha Finlane out of town Hall is the 121 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: latest piece is proof of citizenship really? Jim Crow two 122 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: point zero, I do want to address that specifically. I 123 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: also want to go back in time a bit as 124 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: we played in the King Jeffreys clip, and even in 125 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: the piece that you have, Federal law already limits voting 126 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: in federal elections to American citizens. The Save America Act 127 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: would then require election officials to verify the citizenship during 128 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: voter registration process of voter roles, reflect that existing legal 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: requirement under federal law. Just to sort of lay out 130 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: the obvious here. The problem has been that even though 131 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: this is required vi our federal elections in the Constitution, 132 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: there have been individuals that are not eligible to go 133 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: vote who continue to go and vote. And the Save 134 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: America Act would essentially bolster the ability to go and 135 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: remove those individuals. Right, I kind of want to bring 136 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: this back to its base level. Is that all correct? 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 6: Yes, that's right. So it is currently illegal for non 138 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 6: citizens to vote in US federal elections. They can vote 139 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 6: in some local elections if localities passed that law, and 140 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 6: that's led to a lot of confusion. The result is 141 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 6: that you do find non citizens voting in US federal elections. 142 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 6: It is not uncommon the left as it never happens. 143 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 6: Maybe it doesn't happen to the extent to flip election results, 144 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 6: but it's not uncommon. To find records of non citizens 145 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 6: voting in US elections. All the Save America Act does 146 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 6: is require a documentary proof of citizenship when you go 147 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 6: to register to vote, and then proven who you are 148 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 6: when you show up to vote. You know, asking for 149 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 6: identification is not an accusation. It's not an accusation when 150 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 6: you go buy a beer, it's not an accusation when 151 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 6: you open a bank account or get on an airplane. 152 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 6: It's just a verification. And that's really all the Save 153 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 6: America Act does here is make sure that people are 154 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 6: US citizens and prove who they are when they show 155 00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 6: up to vote. 156 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: So give me the before I cut you loose this morning, 157 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: give me the counter argument as to why this is 158 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: not a Jim Crow two point zero the way that 159 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: Democrats have continued to go and described this, Because this 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: is probably one of the most egregious complaints and criticism 161 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats have put forward. But why isn't the Save 162 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: America Act Jim Crow two two point zero in your opinion? 163 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 6: Well, the Democrats are calling any voter integrity law Jim 164 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 6: Crow two point zero, and they've been doing it for years. 165 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 6: They say that because they argue that getting a voter 166 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 6: idea is going to suppress minority votes. The interesting thing 167 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 6: is is we've actually tested this out and found that 168 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 6: that claim is just false. If you remember, back in 169 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 6: Georgia in twenty twenty one, they passed a controversial bill, 170 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 6: the Increased Voter Idea Requirements, and Democrats from Joe Biden 171 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 6: on down, we're calling it Jim Crow two point zero, 172 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 6: much like Chuck Schumer just called the Save America Act 173 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 6: to Jim Crow two point zero. Baseball moved It's All 174 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 6: f Star game away from Georgia. But what we found 175 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 6: in the elections after that voter ID bill was passed 176 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 6: is that minority turnout actually increased. People had increased confidence 177 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 6: in the election process and the results, and so they 178 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 6: showed up. And even more interestingly, they did surveys to 179 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 6: those minority voters that supposedly were going to be suppressed 180 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 6: under this law and asked them if they had any 181 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 6: trouble voting under these increased ID requirements, and universally, these 182 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 6: voters said no. So anybody that is saying that a 183 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 6: voter ID law is Jim Crow two point zero these 184 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 6: days is just lying to the American people. 185 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: All right, one last question before I let you go 186 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: this morning again talking with Josh Finlay from town Hall. 187 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: Regardless of the procedure in which they're addressing the same 188 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: America Acted tomorrow in the Senate. Ultimately, do you think 189 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to be able to get this 190 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: across the finish line? 191 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 6: Well, I'm hopeful, you know, I hate that in an 192 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 6: issue that all of Americans, you know, eighty percent of 193 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 6: Americans believe in right now, I hate that we have 194 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 6: to rely on Senate procedure to get this done. But 195 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 6: the President is pushing for this. I know there's a 196 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 6: great coalition of Americans that are leaning on their senators 197 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 6: to get this bill passed. So I'm hopeful that the 198 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 6: Save America Act will pass. But right now it depends 199 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 6: on Senate procedure and that's just a tricky place to be. 200 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Josh, thank you so much for the time this morning. 201 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: It's a fantastic piece.

Minnesota seems to be ground zero for the 210 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: example of this. I'll share with you some details from 211 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: this peace. Also, I have an amazing montage speaking to 212 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: how really the moderate Democrat doesn't exist anymore and so 213 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: much of it it comes out of just straight up ignorance. 214 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Reporter Caitlin Bennett went and asked a group of individuals 215 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: a series of questions relating to who would they support, 216 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: MAGA or an extremist for lack of a better way 217 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: to describe it. I'll share with you the audio.

Democrats shot it down. 235 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: Does a modern Democrat even exist anymore? It's Twin City's 236 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: news Talk. My name is John Justice, a piece out 237 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: of the Daily Wire. Here we go again. Minnesota's elected 238 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: officials have proven that extreme progressives are in charge of 239 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: the North Star State. To behold the radical progressive activists 240 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: who crawl out of every nook and cranny of the 241 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: Twin Cities, prestigious white liberal suburbs and exurbs. If you 242 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: thought this was still the land of milk toast Minnesota 243 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: and Ice doing that thing with my fingers. I have 244 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you 245 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: our Brooklyn Center. In the aftermath of the Ice operations, 246 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: there's a horse race for the DFL candidate in Minnesota 247 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Senate seat current to Senator Tina Smith, announcing her retirement 248 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: at the end of her term, leaving politics and taking 249 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: her potty mouth with her. She likes to curse a 250 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: lot in her posts on x It's very odd, incredibly unbecoming. 251 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: The race to the left of the bottom is now 252 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: between current Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan Representative at Angie Craig. 253 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: Both the women flash their girl power bonafides at every chance, 254 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: except when they're appealing to the trans affirmative activists who 255 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: claim sex as a social construct or, to the abortion 256 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: rights radicals who endanger women's health and applaud the death 257 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: of baby girls up to the moment of birth. The 258 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: latest show of extreme views comes as Angie Craig, who 259 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: in a commentary in the Minnesota Star Tribune writes of 260 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: her regrets for voting for the Lake and Riley Act, 261 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: the first bill the President Donald Trump signed into law 262 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: in a second turn term. Craig comes to her lament 263 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: after standing side by side, she says, with protesters on 264 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: the streets of Minneapolis and opposite dozens of Immigrations and 265 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: Customs and Enforcement agents armed at the Whipple Federal Building. 266 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: So how did her fellow gfller and political rival Peegy 267 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: Flanagan respond to this? She pounced on it. That's right, 268 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: as an inexcusable failing in the moral purity test that 269 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: the Minnesota extremist cabal uses as a standard operating procedure 270 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: in politics in Minnesota. We were, of course offered a 271 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: bait and switch when it comes to Governor Tim Walls 272 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: and state wide elections, and in his miserable bid for 273 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: vice president alongside Harris, he touted an every American man 274 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: action figure, complete with the vintage truck, mountain dew and 275 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: honey accessories. His record, though, of course, reveals extremist policies 276 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: and disdain for the average fellas he was recruited to represent. 277 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Walls is just one example of this new trend on 278 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: the left. Campaign is a moderate and once elected push 279 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: hard left radical policies. California Governor Gavin Newsom did this. 280 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger did this. Rest in Peace, the 281 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: moderate Democrat who understood the errors of the Biden administration's 282 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: open border policy, who saw the damage of crime, rising, 283 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: welfare burdens, failed assimilation, and the deaths of innocent Americans 284 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: at the hand of illegal aliens, and worked to toward 285 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: a common sense solution, even GASO voting with Republicans buckling 286 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: to the far left, politicians and civilian alike squarely in 287 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: the fascist camp. Just to ask a former Minnesota Congressman 288 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Dean Phillips or John Fetterman out of Pennsylvania, if you're 289 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: a moderate, you're owed to any target, targeted violence, protest 290 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: or condemnation coming your way, even in a house of worship. 291 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: So holl lefter Democrats willing to go if it's a 292 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: way to rile up the extreme base, keep the spotlight 293 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: on the bottomless fraud scandals, and make the Trump administration 294 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: public enemy number one. Sky is the limit. The extremists 295 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: are at the wheel, and after flattening any moderates in 296 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: their party, they've backed up the truck ready for another 297 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: round of hit and run. Listen, this is partly the 298 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: reason why is we talked about on yesterday show. You 299 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 1: see these attempts to cask a cast essentially political Republican 300 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: normies doing nothing with my fingers as extremists, labeling your 301 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: average church going Christian, for example, as a Christian nationalist 302 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: is a mechanism of which they used, and we talked 303 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: about this at length on Monday show.

She put together a short two minute montage 357 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: of this. She has a month much lengthier version of this. 358 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: Far too many individuals feel this way. But she asked 359 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: democrats regarding who they have more in common with, right 360 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: delusional democrats admitting that they have more in common with 361 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: radical Islam than Trump supporters and would feel safer with 362 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: a radical than they would a Trump supporter. Again, the 363 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: moderate Democrat doesn't exist. There's no debating with the elected 364 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: officials anymore.

Good morning. 416 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 13: I think the reason in my mind why the modern 417 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 13: left alliance themselves or would to align themselves with bracologihatis 418 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 13: is that a lot of them sees themselves as revolutionaries. 419 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 13: They see themselves as constantly fighting and needing to coerce 420 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 13: people through whatever means necessary. 421 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree. I don't think it applies to 422 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: everybody on the left. I think there are those that 423 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: are just as I mentioned, they're brainwashed and broken. It's easy, 424 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: it really is. It's easy to be on the left 425 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: to adopt these things because you can set whatever standards 426 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: that you want to set. You can be as irrational 427 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: and hypocritical as you want to be as long as 428 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: it furthers the cause, and those aligned with your political 429 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: views feel the same way, so you're not going to 430 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: get pushed back from the individuals that you run with 431 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: relating to their similar politics. Speaking of the disappearance of 432 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: the modern Democrat and the legislative session, Minnesota lawmaker leaders 433 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: vouch to close the gap in the ghost to gun law. 434 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are working to pass a ban. To pass a 435 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: ban on ghost guns. It's not the first time this happened. 436 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: By the way, ghost guns three D printed assembled from 437 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: kits sold online don't have serial numbers. Minnesota banned them, 438 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: but of course we had the recent Supreme Court ruling 439 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: that said that the state law only requires serial numbers 440 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: that the federal law requires them. Dfllers are now trying 441 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: once again to pass a new ban. The gun lobby 442 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: is of course fighting to stop at Minnesota gununders Caucus. Specifically, 443 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: an a Lemmy of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus said 444 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota already has an extensive criminal law addressing violent offenses. 445 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: Laws addressing violent offenses, illegal firearm possession by prohibited persons 446 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: in the misuse of firearms, Expanding the criminal liability for 447 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: law abiding citizens engaged in historically lawful conduct does not 448 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: better serve public safety. Now, the bill did pass through 449 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: a Senate committee yesterday, but it's going to be a 450 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: tall task to get the to get this passed in 451 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: the full House and and Senate. As we just displayed again, 452 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: you had a party line split vote on trying to 453 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: get Democrats to go and have Ice cooperate the state 454 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: cooperate with Ice regarding criminal illegal aliens. So Attorney General 455 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: Keith Ellison DFL Senator Ron lats and put out a 456 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: post on x saying that this bill would be closing 457 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: the loophole within our gun laws. As Rob dor from 458 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Gun Owners Coccus pointed out yesterday, doing the 459 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: thing that's always lawful isn't a loophole. It seems as 460 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: if Democrats not only don't know what Jim Crow laws 461 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: are about, but they also don't know the definition of 462 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: what a loophole is. 463 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 2: So John that interview we just got done listening to. 464 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, please tell me that was a parody and it 465 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: was for real.

It was one hundred percent real. Yeah, all right, 468 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 1: let's turn things over to some lighter fair shall We 469 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: got a few stories here. We can wrap the show 470 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: up with. 471 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 11: Let's do it. 472 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: I want to talk some food always, That's what I thought. 473 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: Costco has finally answered the calls to bring back the 474 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: beloved churros. Unfortunately shoppers aren't satisfied. Well, it's how they're 475 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: bringing the churros back. First off, you're a fan of 476 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: the churros. 477 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 11: I've never had a Costco turo, but I love churros 478 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 11: in general. 479 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: Okay, the Costco. The Costco churros are right up there. 480 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 11: I mean Costco everything there is pretty good. 481 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: My first introduction to the turo was at a very 482 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: young age, going to Disneyland, of all places. That's when 483 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: I became the fan of the churro originally because they 484 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: sold them in the little little carts there. They still 485 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: do it Disneyland, Sure, yeah, and then came to love 486 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: the ones at Costco, and I too, as a Costco 487 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: shopper issue now was very upset when these went away. 488 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: But instead of bringing back the full sized pastry that 489 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: once defined its food court, according to a story from 490 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: Fox News, the big box retailer has now unveiled a 491 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: two dollars and ninety nine cent caramel churos Sunday, topped 492 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: with tiny chio bites. Okay, you're making the churros, just 493 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: sell the cheiros. This does sound good, don't misunderstand. Yeah, 494 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: but if you're gonna go through the process of making 495 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: the chiros to chop them up into bytes to put 496 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: them on the carmel churro Sunday, then also just make 497 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: the cheiros available, because they end up replacing them with 498 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: the big cookie, the big chocolate chip cookies. Oh okay, 499 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sure this was a consumer demand issue. Personally speaking, obviously, 500 00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: I prefer the churros now Costco's original churros. Well, no, 501 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself here. So the new dessert 502 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: it's vanilla chocolate or swirl soft serve ice cream drizzled 503 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: with salted caramel and topped with crunchy miniturero bites. So 504 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: maybe they're making them differently. That's possibility. Sure. My assumption 505 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: was they were making them normally and they were like 506 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: cutting them off, chopping them right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But 507 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: maybe they're doing this a completely separate process. Now, got 508 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: to tackle the hard questions on the show this morning. 509 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: So Costco's original truros, a fried dough typically rolled in 510 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: cinnamon sugar, wore a food court staple for decades, first 511 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: appearing back in the nineteen nineties, they sold for ninety 512 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: nine cents, were later reformulated and repriced before being discontinued 513 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: tragically in twenty twenty four. I added the tragically part. 514 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: Laura Jane Lamb, who runs the Instagram account at a 515 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: Costco Hot Fines, I think this is the one that 516 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: Catherine Johnson had told me because she had suggested that 517 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: I needed to start my own Instagram page based off 518 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: of Costco and had sent to the group chat that 519 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: we have for the Freedom Friday Gap examples of individuals 520 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: that do this for a living, and I think that 521 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: the Costco Hot Fines was one of those accounts. 522 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 11: Gotcha. 523 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: They shared a video of the new dessert this week, 524 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: writing the Costco and food Court did it again. Reaction online, however, 525 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: has been mixed. A comment with nearly five thousand likes 526 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: for what It's worth on Lamb's Instagram post read we 527 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: don't want bits of churros, we want the whole truros back. 528 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: Another user just wrote, bring back the churro's exclamation point. 529 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: Somebody else said this is such a slap in the face. 530 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: They give us churo bites and no churums. I think 531 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: it's a bit extreme. I mean, you can still get 532 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: a Chiro someplace else, I would imagine. 533 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 11: I guess my question becomes, are you able to customize 534 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 11: stuff when you order from Costco? 535 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 6: So? 536 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 11: Can you get the Chiro Sunday without the ice cream? 537 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 11: Oh the caramel? 538 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: Well no, I go I would get the Chiro Sunday 539 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: with the turo bites on the side. 540 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, see maybe that's an option. That's that's crego. 541 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 11: Can you can you can you game? Can you gain 542 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 11: the system to get your chiros? 543 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 13: The turroos are great, but until they bring back the 544 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 13: chili and the brons, they're really just fiddle around the 545 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 13: edges and not make any real significant progress. 546 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: I forgot about the chili and the bronze see that's 547 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: before my time. Thank you for the reminder. Totally, Yeah, 548 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: that's been a that's been a while. Those have been 549 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: gone for a while now. The chili and the brons 550 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm the biggest fan of the chili was good though. 551 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: Well, besides the churro, So Morning John, besides the Charol, 552 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: why don't they bring back that combination pizza that they 553 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: get rid of during COVID. That'd be kind of nice. 554 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: I am fairly certain you can. You can still order 555 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: a combo pizza even though it isn't on the menu. 556 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that. We don't do the 557 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,479 Speaker 1: combo typically. Melinda likes it, but the rest of us don't, 558 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: so she gets destroyed into sistick on that. 559 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 11: I always do the half cheese, half pepperoni. Okay, the 560 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 11: pepperoni doesn't do a whole lot for me, so I 561 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 11: eat the cheese and then family eats the red. 562 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: This whole cheese pizza is pretty spectacular because there's extra 563 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: cheese on it. Getting back to the Chiro story, one 564 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: parent joked about the emotional toll of the menu change, writing, 565 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: one of my kids is six is six, and every 566 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: few months he just yells, why did they get rid 567 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: of the churros? It's like his first great betrayal in life. Oh, 568 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: poor dude, it's only gonna get so much worse. Another person, 569 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: Here we go to what we were talking about there, Sam. 570 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: Another person joked about the workaround. Can I get a 571 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: caramel churro Sunday? No caramel, no Sunday original recipe? 572 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 11: Thank you? 573 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: Here's one dollar. So they just want to avoid getting 574 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: all together and just get the just get the chiros now. 575 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: Other shoppers did point out that Costco replaced the churros 576 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: with the two dollars and forty nine cents double chocolate 577 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: chunk of cookie in recent years, but that also sparked 578 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: a debate. For others, the concern wasn't the price, it 579 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: was the calories. Eight hundred and fifty calories. That's a yeah, 580 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: that's gonna do some that's gonna do some devastation, some 581 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: devastation right there. Let's see. I'm looking at the end 582 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: of the story because I actually had some notes. I'm like, 583 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: what else could I possibly say about this? Uh. Costco 584 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: is known for rotating his food court a Sunday season, 585 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: only it's unclear how long the Carmel Churro Sunday will 586 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: remain available Sam's Club Cafe. I'm uncompletely unfamiliar, but they 587 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: rolled out a limited time Caramel Pallmiere Sunday Vanilla frozen yogurt, 588 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: caramel sauce and Crunchy and Crunchy members mark cinnamon Paulmiere's 589 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: for a buck fifty eight. I don't think we should 590 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: ever put the words crunchy and remember next to each other. 591 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: I left him stunned on. 592 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 11: You got any stumb John, I let's say, all. 593 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: Right, let's go here. I got enough time to squeeze this. 594 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: And so I didn't realize this, but remember the bacon 595 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: craze it took place. This was a couple of number 596 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: of years. Yeah, but everything was bacon. Absolutely Apparently we've 597 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: done the same thing with ranch I had. I was 598 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: completely unaware of this.
