1 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: Hour two Twins Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty and 2 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: one oh three five FM. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared 3 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: a viral social media post claiming that Arizona teachers were 4 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: glorifying murder with Halloween costumes, allegedly referencing conservative activist Charlie 5 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: Kirk's death. School officials say the costumes were math themed, 6 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: predated the incident, and had no connection to any political 7 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: feature figure. So I saw the photographs online. We'll get 8 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: into more of this in just a moment. Apparently these 9 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: t shirts are available. I still don't know what the 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: reference is as to what this has to do with 11 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: math at all, and it still doesn't take away the 12 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: fact that these teachers on this Halloween in the wake 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: of one of the biggest news stories of the year, 14 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: if not the biggest news story of the year, not 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: a single adult who saw the individuals wearing this shirt 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: thought for just a second, maybe it's inappropriate for you 17 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: guys to go and wear these shirts. Kirk, of course, 18 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: co founder of Turning Point USA, shot dead in September 19 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: speaking on a campus event in Utah. The viral video shows, 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: excuse me. The rival viral photo shows the teachers wearing 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: the white T shirts splattered with fake blood and the 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: words problem solved, a design the local school district says 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: is a reoccurring math theme costume unrelated to any individual. 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: It's been really disturbing to see teachers across this country 25 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: glorifying a murder just because they disagreed with the victim, 26 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: DeSantis wrote in an ex post, And there were dozens 27 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: of photographs over the weekend of individuals who went out 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: on Halloween with white T shirts, blood soaked on the 29 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: left hand side of the shirt. Most of them had 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: the freedom logo on the front the shirt that Charlie 31 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Kirk was wearing, clearly and specifically mocking the death of 32 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. In a follow up post, the governor wrote, 33 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: here's the explanation from the school district. Some have cast 34 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: doubt on this explanation, but people can read it and 35 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: decide for them. 36 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: Cells a turning point. 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: USA spokesperson initially criticized the teachers, saying their costumes appeared 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: to mock the death of Kirk, but he partially retracted 39 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: those remarks after it was revealed the costumes had been 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: worn in previous years before Kirk's death. The superintendent issued 41 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: a statement confirming the image originates from Sienega High School's 42 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: math department. The school pushed back on the claim that 43 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: their reference was to that of Charlie Kirk. The shirts 44 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: were worn in referenced to solving math problems, and he 45 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: referenced to these shirts relating to something other than that 46 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: were false and true. So maybe there needs to be 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: a reframing of the shirts themselves, because it seems as 48 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: if the stance the district is taking in the midst 49 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: of this viral controversy is these shirts were related to 50 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: something else. These shirts weren't specifically about Charlie Kirk. Okay, fine, 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: we'll go down that route. Let's say for the sake 52 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: of argument, these shirts were available, they were worn the 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: year prior. Again, how does anybody in their right mind 54 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: decide that you're going to wear these shirts a second time. 55 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh and there's also this little issue. 56 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: Oden morning John. And another little wrinkle on the veil 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: teachers is they have a picture of these people and 58 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: their costumes from last year. They're all dressed up like 59 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: senior citizens. So now we're being told they these were 60 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: costumes from last year. Well, did they run two sets 61 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: of costumes last year and then decided, well, no, we're 62 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: just going to take the one and redo it this year. 63 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 4: Oh, Phil or Eric or whoever the heck you are. 64 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: You fell for the AI telling John not to go 65 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 4: down the rabbit hole when you're the one that fell 66 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: for the AI photo. Also quit trying to copy us. Dude, 67 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: Saint Charlie Kirk, you disrespect Saint George Floyd like that. 68 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 5: Good morning, everybody, Happy Monday's chat from Delanoyah. Those math teachers, 69 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 5: for being supposedly smart people, they would you would think 70 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 5: that common sense, which no Democrat has, would say, hey, 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 5: this year, it's probably not appropriate to our T shirts 72 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 5: like this. But yeah, no common sense. They think they're 73 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 5: funny and it's too bad. 74 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 6: Hey John, I get the look I get with Charlie Kirk, 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 6: especially billiona Arizona all the things. 76 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 7: It looks awful. 77 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 8: However, that is a shirt you can buy on Amazon. 78 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: I saw a local woman. 79 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 7: A friend of a friend, wear it this weekend, and 80 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 7: her husband had a shirt on a kind of not 81 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 7: matched it, but like show that it was like a 82 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 7: couple costumes. 83 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: So it's available for sale. 84 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 8: I get the ill the look of it is awful well. 85 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: And what's interesting about it too is that I did 86 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: a search online and you can find that T shirt 87 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: available to go and purchase on various websites. But these 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: are completely separate from school, these shirts being available. Okay, 89 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: so first off, I think there's a bit of a 90 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: question surrounding the motivation of the shirts in and of themselves. 91 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: I'm not saying directly related to Charlie Kirk, but what 92 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: the shirts are supposed to be implying. 93 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: Be that as it may. 94 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: I am still very much of the opinion that these 95 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: teachers knew exactly what they were doing donning these shirts again, 96 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: and given the fact that the shirts already exist, may 97 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: have assumed that they would go and get away with it, 98 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: knowing that they had existed before. The story has absolutely 99 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: gone viral, and as I mentioned, I imagine that we will 100 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: get some clarity now that we're out of the weekend, 101 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: and in my opinion, there needs to be clarity because 102 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: there are good societal teachable moments that could be made. 103 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: Regardless of your. 104 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Opinion on the matter, Ultimately, where I come down is 105 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: if this was a simple misunderstanding, boy, that is a 106 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: stretch to say it was a misunderstanding, because I do 107 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: not understand how anybody, especially living in Arizona, could possibly 108 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: think on Halloween wearing that shirt again would be appropriate 109 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. How could you not 110 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: expect that people would I wouldn't immediately see that and think, 111 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: what are you doing? I mean, that's what I thought. 112 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: That's what most I mean. This is why the story's 113 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: gone viral. And at a time when you have liberal 114 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: hosts like Kyle Kolensky mocking Erica Kirk, framing Erica, the 115 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: mother of two young children, as a money hungry widow 116 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: who was only pretending to miss her murdered husband for profit, 117 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: you have Julie Fox facing This is an actress uncut 118 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: gems if you're familiar with it anyway. She's a fairly 119 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: well known actress facing backlash over her controversial Halloween costume, 120 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: where she was dressed ass Jackie Oh in a blood splattered. 121 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: Dress. 122 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: She was photographed wearing the recognizable pink suit and pillbox 123 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: hat that JFK's wife, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis war on the 124 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: day that he was assassinated. The outfit was splattered with 125 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: blood meant to represent the assassination, so everybody involved in 126 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: what happened was just that clueless. Regarding the Erica Kirk situation, Kalinski, 127 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: who was married to liberal host Crystal Ball, posted the 128 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: fake image of a Halloween costume which features a crying 129 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: Erica with running mascara holding a plate of money. 130 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: The costume is. 131 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: Called fake Grieving Widow Grifter includes accessories such as fake haardrops, 132 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: skin tight black leather mourning pants.

I still have not seen a rational 177 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: explanation as to what the shirt is supposed to be 178 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: conveying relating to math. There's an argument to be made 179 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: that that shirt does exist outside of school altogether and 180 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: is actually meant to go and glorify assassinations in general. 181 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: Be that as it may. 182 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: Where I've landed on this whole thing is, how is 183 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: it that not a single adult recognized that this would 184 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: be inappropriate and could potentially cause controversy, especially in this 185 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: school district, which is one of the best school districts 186 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: in the Tucson area of southern Arizona. Let's get back 187 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: to a few of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. 188 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 9: What does it avail for sale have anything to do 189 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 9: with it being appropriate or not? I hereby ad Nazi 190 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 9: uniform on Amazon too ory. I don't get what being 191 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 9: for sale has anything to do with judgment. Just because 192 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 9: it's for sale doesn't mean it may be right. 193 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 10: What I love about this teacher and controversy thing is 194 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 10: that when I was a teacher, we weren't allowed to 195 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 10: be offensive or. 196 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 11: Even potentially inventive in any way. 197 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 10: Whatsoever, to the extent that we weren't allowed to wear 198 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 10: black and orange during the Halloween season or where you 199 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 10: can say Happy Halloween. We weren't allowed to wear red 200 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 10: and green around Christmas or say very Christmas because it 201 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 10: might possibly have been somebody. 202 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: Why in the world would any teacher, in any way, 203 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: shape or form, think wearing a bloody T shirt to school, 204 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: even on Halloween is appropriate. Given all of the conversations 205 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: regarding violence in our schools, what has transpired national news 206 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: stories of what has taken place here in Minnesota just 207 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: a few months ago raises a whole host of other questions. 208 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 12: Yep, the optics were bad, and personally, I probably wouldn't 209 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 12: do it myself. But then again, I wouldn't say anything 210 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 12: to those people either, because I doubt they would care 211 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 12: what we would say. I know, I don't care what 212 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 12: they think about my fashion coy too, and anything negative 213 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 12: they have to say about me. I would just offer 214 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 12: them the opportunity to shove it where the sun don't 215 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 12: shine well, and I want to. 216 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to go off the first part of your 217 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: comment here, uh in just a moment, let's get back 218 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: to a few more of your of your thoughts though. 219 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: Hey, good morning guys. John. 220 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 13: What I'm surprised about is that you, guys are surprised 221 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 13: that these people have no sheep, that public school teachers 222 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 13: don't know what is appropriate and what isn't appropriate. What 223 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 13: is appropriate to them and their broken brains is whatever 224 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 13: makes them feel good in the moment. 225 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 14: It's been that way for quite some time. 226 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 13: Nobody, and I mean nobody should be surprised or shocked 227 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 13: by that. 228 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Maybe always be surprised and shocked. I mean, heaven forbid, 229 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: we become accustomed to this. It's kind of my point again, 230 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: going back to having to endure the assassination culture trends 231 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: that we are living in right now, which is frightening 232 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: in and of itself. I was watching a video recently 233 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: Jason Pargin. He's an author I used to host on 234 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: the Crack podcast. I listened two years ago, back when 235 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: it was event. He pusted a video recently and he 236 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: was talking about a day that he was dreading and 237 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: he says, it'll be the most divisive online moment. 238 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: In history when this person dies. 239 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: And he immediately made his point, going the moment you 240 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: say this person, you know who he's referring to, because 241 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: you know one day that will happen. One day Trump 242 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: will die natural causes. Hope he lives along and continues 243 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: to live along in healthy life, but. 244 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: One day that will happen. 245 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: And he's right, It's going to be the most divisive 246 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: day online because of the commentary that will thwirl around it. 247 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: We already had a preview. 248 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: Of that over the two times that Trump was almost assassinated. 249 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: We already see what happened in the wake of Charlie 250 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: Kirk and individuals going out on Halloween dressed as Charlie 251 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Kirk being assassinated. 252 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: And now this controversy. 253 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to get to a point where this 254 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: uff isn't surprising we're splitting hairs over the terminology. 255 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. 256 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: I get that individuals will feel completely fine in doing this, 257 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: so that aspect of it doesn't surprise me. 258 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: But I'm not, ever not going to point it out and. 259 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Say, as a society, we need to act better. 260 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: And that's what all of this is about. In my opinion. 261 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: This is why I said, you know, I hope that 262 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: we get to some sort of final explanation across the 263 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: board on this particular issue, because it will be a 264 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: teachable moment for everybody, people that are frustrated, people that 265 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: think that this is, you know, being blown out of proportion. 266 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: You know, speaking of which, let's go here. 267 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: Good morning, John. 268 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 15: Are we those guys all who are going to get 269 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,359 Speaker 15: offended every time we see a bloody shirt or somebody 270 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 15: making reference to their neck or their throat or something. 271 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 15: I mean, it's Halloween. People wear bloody, gory stuff all 272 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 15: the time on Halloween. 273 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 16: You know. 274 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 17: I saw the. 275 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 15: Picture and I thought, oh, that's real classy of them, 276 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 15: and that's about it. I mean, that's really where it 277 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 15: should we scroll on. 278 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 2: But again I disagree. 279 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you thought the same thing when you saw it, 280 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: you said, real classy of them. I'm assuming you said 281 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: that in reference to oh classy as you thought as 282 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: well they were mocking the death of Charlie Kirk. But 283 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: we have unfortunately stripped away the societal norms in this 284 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: country to the point where this type of thing is 285 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: potentially not becoming controversial anymore. Part of the reason I 286 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: brought it up this morning is because I heard a 287 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: lot of commentary like that of individuals on the right 288 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: saying we're making too big of a deal about this, 289 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: and I just disagree, because you know what happens when 290 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: we don't go and focus and point out when adults 291 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: act inappropriately. It is in some way a bit of 292 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: a well whatever, it's okay, But you know what happens 293 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: that leads to individuals, young people influenced by progressive policies 294 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: and the radical ideologies on the left to go out 295 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: and potentially commit heinous acts of murder, you know, like 296 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: when individuals who are out there trying to reach college 297 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: students and are assassinated in the middle of expressing their 298 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: free speech by simply going onto campuses to talk to 299 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: other individuals. So yeah, I kind of feel like we 300 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: need to continue to focus on stuff like this. We'll 301 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: get back to more of your comments coming up on 302 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, and then we will get into 303 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: I'll play you the campaign announcement video by Lisa Damon. 304 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: House speaker tossed her hat into the ring Fort Minnesota 305 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: governor and is already taking jabs from both Republicans and Democrats. 306 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: It's all coming up on Twin City's News Talk. 307 00:18:52,080 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: Three point five and on the iHeartRadio app Twin City's 308 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: News Talk. 309 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: Am eleven thirty one oh three five FM from the 310 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: six five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. Glad 311 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: you're with the show this morning. All right, we're gonna 312 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: lightning round a handful of talkbacks relating to what we've 313 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: been discussing. These math teachers Halloween costumes in a southern 314 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: Arizona school district viral social media post. 315 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: Claiming they were glorifying a murder. 316 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: That takes have been really, really interesting on this from 317 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: both conservatives. Well, actually I'll just go for mostly conservatives. 318 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: Those I've seen on the left don't give a rip. 319 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: I had somebody that had messaged me this morning through 320 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: Instagram who was coming at me for bringing it up online. 321 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: I'd posted a video regarding this photo of these handful 322 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: of math teachers wearing a shirt. This is problem solved 323 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: with blood splattered all over one side of the shirt. 324 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: And again, you've been living under a rock. It's Halloween, 325 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: and based off the number of individuals that have been 326 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: out trick or treating or celebrating Halloween and wearing Charlie 327 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: Kirk assassination costumes, of which there are dozens of photographs available, 328 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: one has to question why in the world, regardless of 329 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: your excuse or justification, did you think it was appropriate 330 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: to go and wear that shirt again if you indeed 331 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: did wear it the first time. 332 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: But this individual was questioning and was. 333 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Pointing to the AI video that allegedly debunked this and said, 334 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: are you going to apologize for bringing this up and 335 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: then go? And then went and explained how it was 336 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: justified that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. So there is no 337 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: arguing with the left right now. And this will get 338 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: to what I'm about to talk about with Lisa Daymoth 339 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: as well. So it's been really interesting seeing the conservative 340 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: commentary and sort of the division between those that feel 341 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: that it's appropriate to go and point this out. And 342 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: that's how I feel we need to bring back some 343 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: of those societal standards. You have your right to free speech, 344 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that when you display something inappropriate 345 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: or say something inappropriate, depending on the context of which 346 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: it is involved, that you just ignore it. And those 347 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: that feel like it's much ado about nothing. So let's 348 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: do a lightning round of your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio 349 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: app brought to you by Lyndall Realty. 350 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: Grove. 351 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 18: Here, I'm with you, John, regardless if the message was 352 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 18: about Charlie Kirk, which if it was, was absolutely disgusting. 353 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 18: But regardless if it was or not, what message are 354 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 18: they trying to portray? Because if it's assassination your teachers 355 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 18: of very young children, and that is your funny Halloween costume, 356 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 18: that it's okay to kill people. 357 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: And it was interesting too because all the photographs that 358 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: are available of past Halloween celebrations at the school, every 359 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: single one of them, of all the other faculty members, 360 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: they're all like really benign fun costumes relating to what 361 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: you would wear for underage children. 362 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 19: Hi, John, they gaslight us so that we spend all 363 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 19: of our time talking about whether they intended demock Charlie 364 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 19: Kirk or not, and I refuse to be gaslin. 365 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: They intended to do it. 366 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 19: No sane, reasonable person would put that shirt on without 367 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 19: knowing what it looked like. 368 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: So no more being gaslin. 369 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 20: All teachers knew one hundred percent what they were doing. 370 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 20: They thought they were being very smug and COI hiding 371 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 20: under the pretense of a Halloween outfit. I hope parents 372 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 20: go to a school board meeting and call them on 373 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 20: their behavior. They need to be accountable, just like everybody 374 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 20: else does. Yeah, basically, the T shirts are saying that 375 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 20: violence solves the problem. 376 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: That makes no sense to me. 377 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that's the one thing I hope that we get 378 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: out of all this. 379 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: I hope that we get. 380 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: A firm explanation in rationale of why this T shirt 381 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: was made in the first place. Let does a bloody 382 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: T shirt have to do with problems being solved unless 383 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: you're referring to the way that this was taken by 384 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: those that saw the shirts in the first place. 385 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 13: John, You're right in your analysis. 386 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 4: We should always be surprised by this kind. 387 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 14: Of behavior, but we have allowed these individuals to act 388 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 14: this way and done absolutely nothing about it for so long. 389 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 14: They have put on a peer of dance shoes and 390 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 14: tapped out into public like Fred Astare on this kind 391 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 14: of behavior. We shouldn't be surprised because we've seen it 392 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 14: so many times before. We should actually do something about it. 393 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 17: And to the talk packer that called in and asked, 394 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 17: are we going to be offended? 395 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 3: We don't have to be offended. 396 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 17: But your point has been polluted by leftist They want 397 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 17: you to say that because on one side they will 398 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 17: be offended and hold you to the death when you 399 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 17: say something that they don't like. They don't want you 400 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 17: to have that power. You don't have to be offended, 401 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 17: but you can't point it out that it's wrong. 402 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 9: You can absolutely point out that it's wrong. 403 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 3: Have a great. 404 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: Day, Good morning, John and Brent. 405 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 16: It's a slippery slopism that we seem to start accepting 406 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 16: as Wow, that's just the way it is. 407 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: Is wrong. 408 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 16: I'll give you a prime example. So in my fitness class, 409 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 16: I'll put together playlists and I can play song from 410 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 16: the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and the two thousands, and 411 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 16: every decade I move forward to today, I have to 412 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 16: worry more and more about content and language than I 413 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 16: did back in the sixties and seventies. 414 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 21: Case in point, Good Morning, John, frustrating mourning for me. 415 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 21: We are going on and on and on about something. 416 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 22: That really doesn't matter at all. So they were tasteless 417 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 22: in their attire for Halloween. So what they're not? Our kids? Yeah, 418 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 22: our kids know of the news. Hopefully parents are teaching them. Right, 419 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 22: Let's get on the subjects that matter to America. 420 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: I understand the spirit of what you're saying, but I 421 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: also believe that this matters in America right now because 422 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: the issues don't matter right now. Are the important? Sure, absolutely, 423 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: they're absolutely important, But right now, in the grand scheme 424 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: of things, we're not talking about the issues. There is 425 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 1: no debating with liberals right now. This is where the 426 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: debate takes place. Is this type of assassination culture going 427 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: to be allowed to continue to permeate or are we 428 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: going to call it out to put those guardrails back 429 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: in place. You used to lose jobs overdoing stuff like this. 430 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: We had standards, and slowly those standards are being eroded, 431 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: and sometimes they are eroded by ridiculous nonsense of what 432 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about this morning, which is why I personally 433 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: find it so important because a lot of the time, 434 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: most of the time, people only get held accountable in 435 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five when there's a public outrage and people 436 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: are forced to go and move, because most people don't 437 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: want to deal with the controversy, because dealing with the 438 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: controversy and holding people accountable in and of itself becomes 439 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: a political move. 440 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: Let's say, for. 441 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: Example, that the school district in this high school in Veil, Arizona, 442 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: that they decide, the school board decides to move against 443 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: these particular teachers. You don't think that those members of 444 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: the district board aren't going to be looked at by 445 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: taking a political stance one way or the other. Of 446 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: course they are. Typically in the past, this would have 447 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: been a right or wrong versus issue. This is going 448 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: to become a left versus right depending on where you 449 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: stand politically. 450 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 2: What I'd like to see is get back to just 451 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: simple right or wrong. And that's what this is about, 452 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: you know. 453 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: And this brings us to the big news story heading 454 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: out of the weekend. 455 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: Let's go here. 456 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 8: Good morning, John Lisa Damoth running for Minnesota governor.

But Minnesotans don't give up. 512 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: We fight for what's right. 513 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 23: That's why I ran for school board to give parents 514 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 23: a voice, why I led Republicans in the House to 515 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 23: stop Walls's reckless. 516 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: Spending and radical agendas. 517 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 23: And I'll always fight to make sure girls' spaces are 518 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 23: for girls, not men in dresses, because our daughters deserve 519 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 23: fairness and our families deserve freedom. I'll never bow to 520 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 23: the radical mob, and I'll never apologize. 521 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: We're standing up for common sense. My mom taught me 522 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: something simple. You can complain or you can do something. 523 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 11: And I've never been one to sit on the sidelines. 524 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 23: I bought Walls's fraud, his waste, his attacks on our freedom, 525 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 23: and I'm not done yet. I'm Lisa Damck and I'm 526 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 23: running for governor because Minnesota is worth fighting for. 527 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 11: Let's fire Tim Walls and take our state back. 528 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: First elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in twenty eighteen, 529 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: Damouth represents a rural district just outside of Saint Clouds. 530 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: She's regularly one reelection by wide margins. I want to 531 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: get into a little bit more of this Alpha News 532 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: post here in a bit, we are going to go back. 533 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: I got a lot of talkbacks that rolled in based 534 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: on the previous conversation, and we'll combine it with a 535 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: conversation we're having here regarding Lisa Damoth's announcement, because I 536 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: believe that you can look at the Venn diagram of 537 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: how these issues are crossing over based off of where 538 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: we need to be concerned and how do we move 539 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: forward strategically to win elections. So Tory van Out out 540 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: of Axios posted this on online in the wake of 541 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: Lisa Damoth announcing her gubernatorial run. Statement from fellow GOP candidate, 542 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Representative Kristin Robbins in response to Daymouth bid underscores one 543 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: of the thornier aspects of challenging Walls. As a divided 544 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota Speaker. Members on both sides were unhappy with aspects 545 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: of the bipartisan budget deal. Speaker Daymuth has been a 546 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: friend since we were both elected in twenty eighteen, says 547 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: Kristin Robbins. But I'm the only conservative Republican who's approven 548 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: winner in the suburbs. I'm the only one who can 549 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: actually defeat tube term Governor Tim Walls. I've led the 550 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: fight against the rampant fraud and the Walls and administration, 551 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: and as governor, I'll fight the fraud, lower taxes, and 552 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: stop the insanity after meetings. She goes on to say, 553 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: Kristin Robbins with grassroots Republicans across Minnesota for months, it's 554 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: clear there's no appetite for a Republican who sides with 555 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: Tim Walls on raising taxes and making our streets less safe. 556 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: Lisa Damouth agreed to a back room budget deal that 557 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: raised taxes and shut down the still Water prison plan 558 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: with no plan which will result in releasing criminals back 559 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: into our communities. Damuth and Walls raised our taxes and 560 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: made our streets less safe. That's exactly what I'm fighting about, 561 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: says Representative Christen Robbins, who's also running for governor as well. 562 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: Tourist response coming out of that campaign, and I completely 563 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: understand how in a crowded GOP field, the candidates are 564 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: going to need to find ways to go and distinguish 565 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: themselves from one another. I just hope it doesn't get 566 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: too ugly. And I'm not saying that those statements were 567 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: that ugly. I think any time if you're a Republican 568 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: and your being compared or attached to Governor Tim Walls, 569 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: yeah it's pretty egregious. But again, I understand the need 570 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: and desire to go and separate yourself because we're not 571 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: talking about the issues now. And this is the point 572 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: that I wanted to this and we'll get back to 573 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: your talkbacks because this goes back to that previous comment 574 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: we need to get back you back to the subjects 575 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: that matter. Well, this is where we are right now. 576 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: We're not talking about these issues. And while these issues 577 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: relating to the primary fight that will ensue between now 578 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: and next to August, might be the deciding factor between 579 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: these candidates, I'm still very much of the opinion that 580 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: it's really going to come down to who is best 581 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: positioned on a host of other issues, not relating to 582 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: the to the issues, to beating Governor Tim Walls, and 583 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: I just hope that Republicans don't go about just beating 584 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: each other to and to the point where everybody is damaged. 585 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: I get how this works. I wish we could get 586 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: rid of the endorsement process, the Minnesota GOP endorsement process, nuke. 587 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: It is not doing us any favors, only going to 588 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: end up. And I know we're not going to and 589 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: I know we're going to have to go through this, 590 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: but I'm very much of the opinion, especially right now 591 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: with the climate that we're living in in Minnesota and 592 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: across the country, that endorsement process is going to rip 593 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: people apart. And I just pray that once we get 594 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: out of that, and once we get past the primary 595 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: and we have a candidate, that the candidate is not 596 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: damaged to the point where suddenly we had a goalden 597 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to go and make sure that Governor Tim Walls 598 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: doesn't get an historic third term. But unfortunately we beat 599 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: each other up so badly that that person is damaged 600 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: to the point where Governor Tim Walls rides to victory 601 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: in the third term. I just don't want to see 602 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: that happen, and I'm worried that it's going to and 603 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: I'm praying that it doesn't. All right, let's get back 604 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: to some of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app this 605 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: morning on Twin City's News Talk. 606 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 24: Great morning to you, John. To the talkbacker who just 607 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 24: said that this topic does not matter, I strongly disagree 608 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 24: with him. Moral decay of societal norms does absolutely matter, 609 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 24: and if you don't think it matters, then you are 610 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 24: a part of the problem. 611 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 16: Hi John. 612 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 25: For the people that are saying these T shirts are 613 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 25: no big deal, that's incredible. 614 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 3: They're a huge deal. 615 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 25: These are public school teachers getting paid with tax dollars 616 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 25: to push ideas onto your kids, not preparing them for 617 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 25: the real world, and making our society psychotic in a way. 618 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 25: This needs to end, and we need to put our 619 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 25: foot down and we need to get these unions back 620 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 25: on track or abolish them. 621 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 6: Hi John, I'm a teacher and Anoka Hennapen and I'd 622 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 6: like you to mention the Anoka Hennipin school board election tomorrow. 623 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 6: It is a really life changing election for teachers and 624 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 6: parents who care about quality education and no indoctrination. There's 625 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 6: a chance that three Conservatives could get elected to the board. 626 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 6: If we get too elected, we will have a majority 627 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 6: of conservativism. 628 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: Good morning, John, great show. 629 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 26: As always say, with respect to your comments on the 630 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 26: Republican field and upcoming primary, I hope the Republicans state 631 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 26: the stance I took in twenty sixteen. 632 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 17: I was on the ABH. 633 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: Train anybody but Hillary. 634 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 26: Hopefully after the primary, Republicans will get on the ABT 635 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 26: train anybody but him, no matter who the endorsed candidate 636 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 26: is or what are the primary Excuse me, have a 637 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 26: great day, guys. 638 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 27: Good morning John. So Lisa Damuth and these little Republicans 639 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 27: are going for governor. I have a question for you, 640 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 27: Unlike the Democrats, do they live in the state, live 641 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 27: in the district. Do they have any criminal backgrounds? Do 642 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 27: they have any skeletons in her closet like Dia Felon 643 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 27: the other one out of Shakrapy I think, or John Thompson. 644 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 2: I invoked his name. 645 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 27: I'm sorry, man, but just a question if you could 646 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 27: answer that. 647 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 16: Well, wrong. 648 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: Kind, I'm not playing the whole thing right now. I 649 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: don't have time. 650 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 22: Now. 651 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 2: Listen. 652 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: It's a good question, and it goes back to what 653 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: I was mentioning before and what I don't want to 654 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: see happen, and a lot of this, a lot of 655 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: my commentary surrounding this, is essentially a wholesale change to 656 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: the way that we look at the election process right now, 657 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: because we're not living in normal times. I mean, the 658 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: fact that I've been cross pollinating the talkbacks between Lisa 659 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 1: Damuth announcing her campaign as Minnesota governor and this controversy 660 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: over these Arizona math teachers and their bloody Halloween costume 661 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: tells you that we're not living in normal times. We're 662 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: not living in a time where we can get down 663 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: on the granular level on these particular issues and feel 664 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: like we're going to be able to reach people. Right now, 665 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 1: the Republicans game is going to be getting as many 666 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: Republicans out to vote as humanly possible and not beating 667 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: each other up to the point where the candidate who 668 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: is at the top of the ticket is damaged and 669 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: can't go and win, whether it's the governor's race or 670 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: any other races either. I'm very much of the view 671 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: that we need to shift our focal point. 672 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 2: Yes, I get it. 673 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: These candidates are going to have to go and differentiate 674 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: themselves from one another as they vie to be the 675 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: nominee for the GOP for the governorship here in Minnesota. 676 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: I completely understand that. I just hope that people keep 677 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: in mind that, you know what, this needs to be 678 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,919 Speaker 1: a friendly fight. It doesn't need to be an ugly fight. 679 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: Differentiate ourselves from Democrats in the midst of when you're 680 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: differentiating yourself from the other candidates, and prove why it 681 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: is that you are the individual who can solely go 682 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: and beat Tim Walls. All right, we'll get into a 683 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: little bit more of this coming up. A few more 684 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: details regarding Lisa Demas announcement. Oh, we also have more 685 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: Christian Robbins news. Robin slams a Billboard company for blocking 686 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 1: an ad linking to walls fraud. This was a really 687 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: stupid move by the Billboard company. I'll explain why coming up, 688 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: and we'll get some more of your talkbacks from the 689 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app next on Twin Cities News Talk
