Speaker 1: which have the little swirls ing.

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,599

4
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: I remember? No, Sorry, this is what we were referring to.

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 4: How did we land Sam? Do you remember how we

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 4: landed on this last week?

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 5: How we landed on?

00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: we talking about eating?

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: And then I was telling the story about how you

00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 4: said duncan and milk, and then we got down there

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: and Catherine got confused. Okay, that's probably what it was,

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: all right, don't need to repeat that one again. You

48
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 8: I didn't know Sam and I were in Naples, Florida

49
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 8: at the same time. I learned that walking in. Yeah,

50
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 8: we didn't even know. We didn't even know. So I

Speaker 8: clients down there. We have a bunch of good speakers.

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 8: But I was in Naples in eighty five degree weather

56
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 8: from Wednesday until Sunday, and then I came back. In

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 8: the day after I came back, I had to snowblow

58
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 8: almost a foot of snow off my driveway.

59
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: I had no idea that Sam was even I had

60
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,240

61

Speaker 4: He's like, I just went by Alligator Alcatraz and I

62
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: was like what. Sam was like, it's a real thing.

63
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: I know so little about the producers on the show.

00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: I just discovered yesterday. I just discovered yesterday that Devin

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 4: was married.

66
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: I got to do a conversation on the air, and

68
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: I brought him into a scenario. I'm like, you know

69
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,639

Speaker 2: I go if you are. No, I had no idea

72
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: on Monday and Tuesday.

73
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: Did you get confused when you looked over here and

74
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: saw Brett sitting in the chair.

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: No, No, John doesn't ask questions. Yeah, yeah, I don't

76
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: all right, let's go here on the Freedom Friday.

77
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: On Twinnesday's news talk your iHeartRadio app talkbacks are brought

78
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: to you by Lindahl Realty.

79
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 8: Oh Balls is quitting social media?

80
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: Well, like, I guess, like the only thing I could say,

81
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: like is it's good news for my liver.

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 9: If you follow me, know me, know anything about me,

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 9: you know that I'm not one to back down, and often.

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: I you know, accept them good to backdown.

85
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 9: Fact to the opposite of that, and that is you

86
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 9: know who I am, what I use this platform for.

87
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 9: But when it comes to like my safety and my

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 9: family safety, there has to be a line there. And

89
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 9: in the past few days there have been some things

90
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 9: that have crossed that line. I have gotten some really

91
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 9: scary emails, you know, DMS comments, just stuff on the Internet,

92
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 9: and it's gotten to a point where it is not

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 9: really safe for me to be on the Internet right now.

94
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 9: So I'm going to take a step back until probably

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 9: after Christmas.

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: There's more here, just until Christmas.

97
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 7: Wait, I thought she was not like quitting.

98
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: That's what made me laugh. This isn't an airport. You

99
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: don't have to announce that you're leader.

100
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I mean, if you went silent between now and Christmas

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: two weeks away. I think most people would simply go,

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: there's the holidays.

103
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: She made a good bye video, stunning and brave. You're

104
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: taking two weeks off of social media. No, you know

105
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: what's happening here? Like nobody should go and do threats?

106
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: Right of course, right, you should be nice.

107
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: It's like people, you should not be driving past the

108
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: governor's mansion and yelling out the artword.

109
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: That's not a very nice thing. Yet, don't you do Christmas?

110
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: Definitely don't do that, you know, I.

111
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: Don't, don't video, you know, don't record it, certainly, shouldn't

112
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: post it on social don't do it.

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Certainly, shouldn't tag me in those videos. Don't don't do

114
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: any of that. It's not nice. Don't don't harass Hope Walls.

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 4: No, what happened is and she had a previous video

116
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 4: that we talked about earlier in the Wink. What happened

117
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: is is that her dad has become a national embarrassment

118
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: once again.

119
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: Everybody is frustrated.

120
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: And when she starts posting her ridiculous videos with her

121
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: ludicrous hot takes in the wake of all of this controversy,

122
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: she's getting all this negative feedback, to which she first

123
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: blamed on Russian bots, and now she's decided that she's

124
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 4: going to take a break everybody just for the day.

125
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Thank you two weeks.

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 9: I never thought that I would, you know, have to

127
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 9: do this.

128
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 6: Vacation.

129
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 9: It's at a point where what is being said on

130
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 9: the internet potentially has, you know, real life consequences that

131
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 9: you know, could potentially harm me or my family, and

132
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 9: that that is where I draw a line. I'm always

133
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 9: going to be someone that stands up for what is

134
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 9: right and for the little guy, but I think right

135
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 9: now I just have to look out for my family

136
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 9: and my family safety. I know there's so much support.

137
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 9: Sometimes it's hard when you're like in this to see that,

138
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 9: and like I, it's hard for me sometimes, but there

139
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 9: is more support than there is hate. But when you

140
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 9: know the quote unquote hate has real life consequences, I

141
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 9: have to take it seriously. So I see all of

142
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 9: your guys' support. My family sees all of your guys' support.

143
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: We like of you guys.

144
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 9: I'm just not going to post for a couple of weeks,

145
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 9: and you know, I'm starting my other job, and you know,

146
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 9: I'm busy and have things in my every day like

147
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 9: in you know, my material everyday life. So don't want

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 9: you guys to worry. I'm just letting you know where

149
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 9: I'm at because I know, and I don't post for

150
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 9: a few days, sometimes you'd be.

151
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: Like, ohe were you at? So that's why mot.

152
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 9: I'm just taking a step back, looking out for me

153
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 9: and my family safety.

154
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 8: I love you all.

155
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: So I don't know if any truth to the rumor,

156
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: but I had heard that she's actually going to be

157
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 4: working on side the Minnesota DFL and Nicole Mitchell at

158
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: the dunkin Donuts.

159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: Out on the West Side. So that's a new job.

160
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case. I don't think that's

161
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: the case at all.

162
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know what I would have done if

163
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 8: she would not have posted for two weeks and I

164
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 8: didn't hear from her.

165
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: That would be are there people? Are the people watching?

166
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: They're going no, that's what she's clamoring for too. Yeah,

167
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: for sure, that's that's also what she's doing now that

168
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: I say it out loud, that's what she wants.

169
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: She wants people to go no, don't come back, stay strong, hope,

170
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: we need your voice.

171
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 7: Two weeks guys, why is she framing it as, you know,

172
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 7: for the safety of myself and my family, I'm gonna

173
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 7: I would have truly like, no problem if she just

174
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 7: said I'm going to take a break for the holidays. Yeah, okay, no,

175
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 7: but she has to try to present herself as the

176
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 7: victim and say I have to do this because there's

177
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 7: mean people on the internet sending scary things to me.

178
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 7: I just don't don't tack that on, you know, just

179
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: be honest about what doing.

180
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 8: Or here's a profound thought, don't say anything, take your

181
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 8: time off. Do we really need to know everything that

182
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 8: you're thinking all of the time.

183
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 7: Is she that big of an influencer that there's gonna

184
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 7: be like panic in that's what every.

185
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 8: That's what that's what every self important. Good And by

186
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 8: the way, influencer like you're the you're the daughter of

187
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 8: a you're the daughter of a governor. Like you're not

188
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 8: a you're not an influencer. But we don't need to know,

189
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 8: we don't need to know. Go take your two weeks,

190
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 8: disappear for a little while.

191
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: That's fine.

192
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 10: Inflated ego that somebody has to think that anyone cares

193
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 10: if they're taking two weeks off around the holidays is unbelievable.

194
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: Oh wait, well, so wait, does that mean you're not

195
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 4: going to be sad when I take my two weeks

196
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: off for vacation.

197
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm playing this all wrong.

198
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe I should have framed this next week and

199
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: you know what, guys, for the safety of me and

200
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: my family, it's been a very contentious year.

201
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: So I just I'm gonna have to go and take,

202
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, the next two weeks off. I will be

203
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: back after January first.

204
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: But for my own safety and the safety of my family,

205
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should have taken it. I

206
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 4: should have gone that way. Well, maybe I don't know

207
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: how to do this thing.

208
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, go go post a long, tear filled TikTok video

209
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 8: John say you know, I know you're all gonna miss

210
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 8: me so much, and then say you're gonna take two

211
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 8: weeks off and just take it like two days off

212
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 8: and then come back like gotcha.

213
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: I'm the host that gets worried about who the national

214
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: filling is gonna be and.

215
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: Whether or not they're a better host than I.

00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 11: Hey help, congratulations, you just realize that spouting off on

Speaker 2: Zip zero zilch.

231
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: It is a marshmallow world that we live in, although

232
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's any marshmallows in these or not.

233
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: But friend of the show Pat brought by her yearly

234
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: tupperware containers filled with homemade cookies.

235
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Grace, you seemed very confused when these came in. You

236
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: were like, where are these? What is going on here?

237
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,240

238
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 7: four enormous containers, enough for like a small Christmas party.

239
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,040

00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 6: What Max?

253
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 11: Max?

254
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: Want to get coffee? I thought I said Sam. After that,

255
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you.

263
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, Tom. How are we doing this more?

264
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 7: Sir?

265
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 13: Oh, it's nice and cold outside and there are no

266
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 13: mosquitoes for miles.

267
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 6: It's good.

268
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: So give us the latest on what is taking place

269
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: with these Obamacare subsidies. I know debate, the debate continues,

270
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: you know, expectation of where this goes. Are we going

271
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: to be able to come to any sort of agreement

272
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: before the end of the year.

273
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: What's the latest on this battle?

274
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 13: Well, first, John, I will never refer to it by

275
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 13: the name of the former president. It is the Affordable

276
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 13: Care Act. It was created fifteen years ago. And you

277
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 13: remember when the Democrat only bill was passed. They promised

278
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 13: the American people three things. They promised you could keep

279
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 13: your doctor. They promised you that you have more choices

280
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 13: in healthcare, and they also promised that your premiums would

281
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 13: go down. John, complete lie. They're all for three on

282
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 13: all of them. And now they want to talk about

283
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 13: healthcare subsidies, these Enhanced Premium time Credit. John, premiums are

284
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 13: going up for three hundred million Americans by twenty percent

285
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 13: or more this year. The Enhanced Premium tax credit only

286
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 13: applies to seven percent of Americans. It's about twenty one

287
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 13: million people out of that three hundred million. And by

288
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 13: the way, it would only reduce their twenty percent some

289
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 13: increase by about four percent. This is the biggest con

290
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 13: job ever by Democrats who broke our healthcare system.

291
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 6: Literally, the discussion right.

292
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 13: Now is how we fix it and how we move

293
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 13: forward so that Americans can get access to the care

294
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 13: they need by what by having health insurance that's affordable. John,

295
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 13: I don't know if you've seen your premiums, but my

296
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 13: wife Jackie, and I saw ours. The profanity I'm not

297
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 13: going to use on the air, but it's ridiculous that

298
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 13: these health insurance companies have been getting fat and wealth

299
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 13: over the last fifteen years while Americans have fewer and

300
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 13: fewer choices and can't afford the products, the insurance products

301
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 13: they're putting out. I think you should see you will

302
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 13: find out this Affordable Unaffordable Care Act is not only

303
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 13: broken the healthcare system, but it's rife with fraud. It's

304
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 13: time that we address the real problem, which is why

305
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 13: I really appreciate my friend Jamie Comer from Kentucky, the

306
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 13: chair of the Oversight Committee, has plans to start calling

307
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 13: in his insurance company executives and asking him what in

308
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 13: God's name are you doing? Why are you gouging the

309
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 13: American people. It's time to fix the system that Democrats

310
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 13: broke John.

311
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: So it sounds like this is going to be stretching

312
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: into in the next year. I know the Democrats have

313
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: shown no desire to come to sort of any rational compromise.

314
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, having some members of Congress

315
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: actually been calling for not you know, compromising at all

316
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: relating to these subsidies.

317
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 13: Well, that is the debate, right, and it's not a compromise.

318
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 13: You have members who are like, all right, Democrats set

319
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 13: this up. By the way, You're right, Democrats don't care

320
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 13: about fixing this thing.

321
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 6: If they did, they would have left.

322
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 13: There's a cost reduction thing that was in the Working

323
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 13: Families Task Care Act that they took out in the Senate,

324
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 13: I'm going to tell you, and the Democrats fought to

325
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 13: have it taken out that actually would have reduced premiums

326
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 13: for all three hundred million Americans, not just the seven

327
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 13: percent that they're falsely claiming they're trying to save. Right now,

328
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 13: Democrats just want this as a political issue. But going forward, John,

329
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 13: it's not about the healthcare providers. This is a lot

330
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 13: like what they've done to our ag community.

331
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 6: Right.

332
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 13: The producers are the ones that are getting hurt, while

333
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 13: the packers and all the others in between. People are

334
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 13: benefiting off of bad government policy. So I don't expect

335
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 13: it to go long when it comes to the healthcare discussion,

336
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 13: because we still have the greatest healthcare in the world.

337
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 13: The issue is people being able to afford access to it,

338
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 13: and that is the result of skyrocketing insurance premiums. It

339
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 13: is the insurance companies and that reform that we have

340
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 13: to look at, along with just getting all the darn fraud.

341
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 13: This thing has been so dirty for years. It was

342
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 13: built for insurance companies, it was built for everyone but

343
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 13: the American people.

344
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: It's another one of these Democrat.

345
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 13: Swings and misses that has cost the American people a

346
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 13: lot of money that Donald Trump and the Republicans are

347
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 13: going to fix.

348
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: One last thing before I let you go, You mentioned fraud.

349
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: I know you've been very vocal over your frustration of

350
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: what's taking place under Governor Tim Walls.

351
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 13: We have.

352
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: Yesterday, we had a chance to speak with the CMS administrator,

353
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: doctor Oz. If you missed that conversation, you can check

354
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: out the podcast second hour of yesterday's show, wherein I

355
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: know he's expecting to get updates from the Walls and

356
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: administration regarding what they're doing in looking at the various

357
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: aspects of fraud. I just wanted to give you an

358
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 4: opportunity to share your to share your thoughts this morning

359
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: before I let you go on where things stand into

360
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: these federal and investigations with what has happened to under

361
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 4: Governor Tim Walls and the fraud here in Minnesota.

362
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: Tom.

363
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 13: Yeah, First, I have to there's another fraud going on.

364
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 13: I mean, John, we've been trying to raise the alarm

365
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 13: on this for three years. Three years that worthless Star Tribune,

366
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 13: and I'm going to argue the worthless media in the

367
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 13: Twin Cities that were fused to host refuse to hold

368
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 13: Tim Walls and his administration and Keith Ellison accountable that

369
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 13: they've allowed this to happen just as much because good

370
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 13: Minnesotans are out there reading the nonsense that they put

371
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 13: in that worthless paper and watching the news at night.

372
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 13: We like we're kind of local people, right, John, I mean,

373
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 13: you're one of the few that's actually speaking truth to

374
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 13: this fraudulent power.

375
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 6: Look, Tim Walls and Keith Ellison.

376
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 13: Knew this, think about this tenty seventeen and eighteen. Do

377
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 13: you remember at Democrat Attorney General by the name of

378
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 13: Laurie Swanson. John, she was prosecuting, investigating, and prosecuting Somali

379
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 13: daycare fraud in twenty seventeen and eighteen. And for your

380
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 13: listeners who don't remember, she actually ran for the Democrat

381
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 13: nomination for governor that year against.

382
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 6: Who Tim Walls. Well.

383
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 13: Tim Walls and Keith Ellison both take office at the

384
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 13: same time.

385
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 6: And it's really interesting. There's about sixty to eighty.

386
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 13: Thousand Somalis in Minnesota. These guys can't get votes outside

387
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 13: of the Twin Cities.

388
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 6: I mean, you look at their numbers. It's awful.

389
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 13: Keith Ellison won by less than a point last time.

390
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 13: What happened when they took office, John Well. Keith Ellison

391
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 13: decided within the Attorney General's office there would be no

392
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 13: more investigations without his approval. John, how many of the

393
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 13: investigations has he approved in the last seven years?

394
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely none?

395
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 13: And Tim Walls, by the way, Tim Wallas has benefited

396
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 13: off of this the same way is Ellison. And if

397
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 13: these whistleblowers are real and if what they are claiming

398
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 13: can be documented, and they are claiming that they not

399
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 13: only told Tim Walls about the fraud, but he and

400
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 13: he ignored them, but he retaliated against him.

401
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: John.

402
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 13: If that's true, then there's criminal activity that has to

403
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 13: be has to be investigated, because I got to tell

404
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 13: you it's hard to understand how over a billion and

405
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 13: screw the Star tribe and now they've got to show

406
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 13: their masks because they refuse to call out the fact

407
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 13: that we've got criminals who have been allowed to run rampant.

408
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 13: This is not about Not all Somali's are criminals. It

409
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 13: just happens that ninety percent of the people charged, for instance,

410
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 13: in the Feeding our Future scandal are some from the

411
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 13: Somali community. So call out criminals. This is what has

412
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 13: to happen. And these guys they've done nothing. No one

413
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 13: in the Walls administration has been held countable and it

414
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 13: has to be. It has to be investigated. If this

415
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 13: stuff is true, then people need to be held accountable.

416
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: Representative of Tom Emmer. Great to talk with you this morning.

417
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 4: I believe I'll be seeing you on Sunday, but thank

418
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 4: you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 6: Awesome Merry Christmas.

00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: Chap has some.

422
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 4: Breaking news by the way, Oh yeah, and it's directly

423
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: tied to what we're talking about with Tom Emmer. I

424
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: don't know, Max. I don't know if you're aware of

425
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 4: this or not. You're a member of the legislature. I

426
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: don't know if you've been informed or if Governor Tim

427
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: Wallas reached out to you and you've been holding back.

428
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: But apparently Walls is.

429
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 4: Said to unveil a new statewide fraud prevention program today.

430
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah that details, according to CBS or on the

431
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 4: programs are scant, but the Governor's office has said it

432
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: was built with help from outside forensic experts. I just

433
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: want to say, for the record, I was not consulted,

434
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 4: even though I do consider myself and.

435
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 8: These these forensic experts were violence interrupters who needed a

436
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 8: new job.

437
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 4: Walls will also name a new director of Program integrity.

438
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Of any Bach everybody who was white man.

439
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: Apparently he will be giving details about the program at

440
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: a ten thirty am press conference. So very exciting. Who

441
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: is the new director? Who would the DFL shooting Cole.

442
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: Mitchell coming back? Director of program integrity?

443
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 8: Everybody we resurrected the body of Bernie made off to run.

444
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: Our Jennifer Carnahan, no comment. It's a new director. It's

445
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: just a rumor by the way that I'm starting right now.

446
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: All right, we'll get into more details of this ak Kamar.

447

Speaker 4: get back to the show on a Freedom Friday. Here

453
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: just a moment on Twin City's news Talk Am eleven

454
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 4: thirty and one oh three five FM.

455
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: You're fascinating to talk to kt Olka, I mean eleven

456
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: thirty Minneapolis. I'm Saint Paul.

457
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 14: I do want to make sure that I cover one

458
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 14: other thing that the chairman spoke about. He specifically said

459
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 14: that he's concerned about the fraud. He's not given us numbers,

460
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 14: but I can give you some numbers if we're concerned

461
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 14: about how much money it may be costing us. Because

462
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 14: systems are not perfect. We have no perfect systems. We

463
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 14: have always had some level of fraud in anything that

464
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 14: we have, because there's no such thing as perfection walking

465
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 14: on this earth.

466
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned defraud, like I mentioned going to the club.

467
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 8: That's your next Democrat Senate candidate from Texas right there

468
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 8: as a Jasmine Crockett.

469
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 4: People need to stop worrying about mass fraud because no

470
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 4: system is perfect and there's always been fraud.

471
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 12: And you think that any of these positions the Walls

472
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 12: is putting in we should take seriously. If you're a

473
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 12: liberal listening to this, we don't believe anything that he

474
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 12: has to say, because all he's going to do is

475
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 12: put one of his corrupt cronies in there.

476
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: So this is a nothing burger. He's just trying to say.

477
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 12: Face let's say how tough he is on corruption.

478
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 6: Yeah he's not. He's the king of corruption, No kings.

479
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: Nicely done there, Thank you.

480
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: Talkback's brought to you from the iHeartRadio app by Lindahl

481
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 4: Realty in studio this morning from American Experiment American Experiment.

482
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: In the American Experiment podcast is Grace Keating. We have

483
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 4: representative of Max Reimer and ak Kamara is making his

484
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 4: way up right now. We were talking about this off

485
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: the air just a moment ago in the six five

486
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios that Governor Tim

487
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 4: Walls is set to announce a new massive effort relating

488
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 4: to tackling fraud, and apparently this is going to have

489
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: a new integrity director. Another question is who is that

490
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: integrity director going to be? But the talkback kind of

491
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: echo of what we were saying off air during the

492
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 4: break and this just reeks of desperation at this point

493
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: in time.

494
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 8: This is literally the definition of hiring an arsonist to

495
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 8: come put out your fire.

496
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: That is what is about to happen here.

497
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: He's feeling the heat. I really think he's feeling the heat.

498
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 4: To your point, I want to get back to the

499
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 4: looking at the story here. I want to make sure

500
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: I got this right. Yes, a new director of program

501
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: integrity and it'll be a new statewide fraud prevention program.

502
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: This is completely unnecessary.

503
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 4: If you just identify when the increase in the funding

504
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: requests take place and begin to examine that immediately, you

505
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 4: could a stop to all of this. There's no need

506
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: for a new fraud prevention program or a director you know,

507
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 4: of integrity for any of this.

508
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 2: It's completely it's completely unnecessary. It's gonna do nothing.

509
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 7: This is Walls trying desperately to change the search results

510
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 7: when you type Walls fraud into Google that's what this.

511
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: Is great point. Yeah, you're absolutely right, he wants to

512
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: change the dialogue.

513
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 8: But he had eight years to figure this out. All

514
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 8: this fraud started happening under his watch. We've had Democrats

515
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 8: before Tim Walls that it didn't have nearly the amount

516
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 8: of fraud or the problems that Tim Walls has had,

517
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 8: and Tim Wallis has turned a blind eye to it.

518
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 8: He's turned the focus on other things that he's wanted

519
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 8: to turn the focus on. How can we expect this

520
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 8: guy to start doing something about fraud when he hasn't

521
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 8: done anything about fraud in seven years and straight up

522
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 8: ignored it as he was running for vice president.

523
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: So in the Minneapolis Times, there was an editorial that

524
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 4: I shared on the show from Tom Horner and it

525
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: was basically why Walls shouldn't run. Okay, and I had

526
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 4: covered this again on the show. Well, there's a counterpoint

527
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 4: that I wanted to share with you guys. Counterpoint why

528
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 4: Governor Tim Walls is running in twenty twenty six. So

529
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 4: this is written by cot Conrad lang Zibakowski, very prominent

530
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: within Minneapolis specific politics. He's run for a bunch of

531
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: district seats and stuff like that. I've seen his name before,

532
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: so this.

533
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: Is what he has to say.

534
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: Because I was very curious what a Walls supporter? You know,

535
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: how a will I spin it? Yeah? How does the

536
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: Walls supporter look at Walls? You know who's running and

537
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 4: justify it?

538
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 6: Right?

539
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: So let's let's get through this a bit.

540
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: Recently, Tom Horner wrote in these pages asking why Governor

541
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: Tim Walls was running for reelection. I spoke with Walls

542
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago on this very topic at a

543
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: Senate DFL event. Walls is very transparent about why he

544
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: is running, and he makes a strong case.

545
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 2: Okay, right.

546
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: The short answer is that Walls is the most qualified

547
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 4: candidates to candidate in the present arena to run for governor.

548
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 4: With two terms of experience and many lessons learned over

549
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 4: the years of crisis, Walls is uniquely qualified to run

550
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 4: again as Minnesota's chief executive. Walls is relatively young at

551
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: sixty one years old. I'm sorry, sixty one years wise,

552
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: he writes and even runs, and even runs competitively, posting

553
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: a great time on the Twin Cities ten mile alongside

554
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: his daughter Hope.

555
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 7: This is why he should be our governor.

556
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 8: That is because he can he has good run times,

557
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 8: they've got nothing.

558
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: I'm only two paragraphs into six paragraph article.

559
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: Ak Kamara, good morning, Good morning somebody.

560
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 5: You know it started to reign and sleep, So be

561
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 5: careful out there while you're driving because it's like fifteen

562
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: degrees outside.

563
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: But I've had a great week.

564
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 5: I got to go to Pinkies up Washington, DC, go

565
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 5: to the Vice President's residence and President Trump unannounced showed

566
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 5: up and riffed for like an hour and a half.

567
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: So that was super dope.

568
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 5: And shout out to Melinda for this amazing gift package.

569
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 5: It is beautiful.

570
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: I got a ding dong in there too.

571
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 5: You were here, You were here, I was, and I'll

572
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 5: be honest, I did not know that this is what

573
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: a ding dog is.

574
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought.

575
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 5: Ding dongs were different, because remember I was telling you

576
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 5: I thought it was the log and You're like, nope, yeah,

577
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: I guess I'm not a fan of ding dong.

578
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: It was the log.

579
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 6: You know.

580
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 5: I'm a fan of logs, not ding dongs.

581
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 2: I do take it personally, all right.

582
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: I want to get back to your visit in just

583
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 4: a moment. First off, though, we got to continue running

584
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 4: through Conrad Zipbekowski's and his reasons why Governor Tim Wallas

585
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: is running so so far.

586
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: Go over that last one, okay, so so let me

587
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: do it again.

588
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: So two terms of experience, lessons learned during years of

589
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: the crisis that we've endured, uniquely qualified to run as

590
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: Minnesota's chief exiscutive, relatively young at sixty one years wise,

591
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: and even runs competitively, posting a great time on the

592
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: Twin Cities ten mile alongside his daughter Hope.

593
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: So he's had the job. He's relatively young, and he

594
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: doesn't die when he runs.

595
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 8: And he runs, Listen, I want to put my hat

596
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 8: in the ring for governor because I can bench press

597
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 8: two hundred and twenty five pounds at least one time.

598
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: Critically, it's my qualification.

599
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: Walls has said publicly that he will not be running

600
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 4: for president in twenty twenty eight.

601
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: That is a flat out no.

602
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: He says he sees his responsibility to Minnesotan's to serve

603
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: the state well and running for the highest office conflicts

604
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: with that. So we have he has the job already,

605
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: he's relatively young, he runs and apparently he won't leave.

606
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: So he says, that's.

607
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 8: Kind of like holding a gun to your head and

608
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 8: being like, this is the reason I should be reelected.

609
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: Walls and DFL legislators have overcome unprecedented challenge like the

610
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 4: pandemic to provide historic investment in education, define overcome, prioritize

611
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: clean energy and more. Okay, so he spent a lot

612
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: of money and he put clean energy at the top.

613
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Of a list.

614
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: With the second trifecta DFL legislative majorities and his signature

615
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: pin we can do more to improve the lives of

616
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 4: Minnesotan's in every corner of the state.

617
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: So essentially, he did things he was governor. Oh yeah,

618
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: he did. He did things he was governor, So he

619
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: should keep being governor. By the way, over.

620
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 8: Saying overcoming challenges, think of every challenge we've had in

621
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 8: the last six years, and could I'm asking this question genuinely,

622
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 8: could it have been handled worse? Could COVID have been

623
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 8: handled worse than what Governor Wallas did? Could the riots

624
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 8: have been handled worse? So using the word overcome is

625
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 8: a pretty liberal definition of that word.

626
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 7: It's been miss after miss for miss.

627
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 5: Grinchy Harton or something.

628
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: We have two more paragraphs here. So far, I'm not

629
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: really seeing any good reasons beside the fact that he's

630
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: had the job.

631
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Joe Biden was twenty years older than Tim Walls

632
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: is now when the disastrous debate took place. US Senator

633
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: Amy Klobashar, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Elis, and two of

634
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: the leading candidates who intended to run should Wall step aside,

635
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: are both older than Walls.

636
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: Senate majority of the leader, Aaron Murphy.

637
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: Murphy once arrival to Walls, is also older than him.

638
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: If we were to pass the baton to a younger generation,

639
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: that would mean a messy endorsement and primary and much

640
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: reduced chances of success for a candidate with a far

641
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 4: lower name recognition.

642
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: So age again, what is the.

643
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 7: Is he insecure about looking old? Because he's got some

644
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 7: white hair and he's a little bald, looks that's the

645
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 7: vibe I'm getting.

646
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he looks it's way older than his actual age.

647
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: Like that's it.

648
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 5: Like he looks like he's in his seventies, like pushing

649
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 5: mid seventies. And you know, no shade against people in

650
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: their mid seventies. But when you tell people that he's

651
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 5: like sixty, people are like, no, he's not. I'm like, yeah,

652
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 5: he's literally sixties I've never heard a.

653
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 7: Candidate focused this much on convincing people that he's younger

654
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 7: than him.

655
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 5: He's a gen xer, but he looks like he's a

656
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: baby boomer.

657
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: Just remember that that's crazy. It's a T shirt.

658
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: This is what happens when you there's nothing. There's nothing

659
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: for anybody to point to like. This is one of

660
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: Walls's biggest supporters. You know, an individual heavily involved in

661
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: Minneapolis politics, has the opportunity to write an editorial counterpoint

662
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 4: on whise Walls should run, and there's nothing here he

663
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: ends on this. The simple answer is that no incumbent

664
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: governor DFL or GOP has lost a bid for reelection

665
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 4: in thirty five years. Walls is not running for president.

666
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 4: He's here to serve the people who have been Minnesota.

667
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: Any baggage from the last eight years would certainly fall

668
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: even more heavy on a new DFL candidate.

669
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 8: Says, who what, So choose the one that has caused

670
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 8: all the failure, please.

671
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: Because it's going to be more difficult for a different

672
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 4: DFL candidate that was not governor. In the midst of

673
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: all this national coverage of the fraud that we've had

674
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: to endure.

675
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: Was he paid by Walls to write this. Genuinely, he

676
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: must have. I have no idea.

677
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 8: There is a weird fixation here on age and looks

678
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 8: happening too. It's like, are we going to see Walls

679
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 8: come home with a bunch of plastic surgery?

680
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Please?

681
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 8: Is Walls going to start looks maxing as the kids says,

682
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 8: he's going to look maxing.

683
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: He's going to get the plugs, the flashy car.

684
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 8: Just flowing like you heard this, all these gen zs doing,

685
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 8: all these gen Z men doing looks maxing where they're

686
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 8: like doing jaw training and they're doing what's called bone smashing,

687
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 8: where they like smash their cheeks to like form their jaw.

688
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: That's what Tim Wallas is going to be doing. He's

689
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: super gay coated and that's cool.

690
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: I mean nothing against that, but like, uh, if you

691
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 5: are like shaping your eyebrows and like getting like facial surgery,

692
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 5: like that is a very very not masculine thing to do,

693
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 5: So don't do look vaccine.

694
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: I want Walls to get a hair piece, and I

695
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: want it to look like the head of hair that cherid.

696
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: Sanity, because as they can switch hair, that would be

697
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: that would be amazing and his eyebrows. That would be

698
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 2: absolutely amazing.

699
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 8: What's up, my fellow kids, I'm running for reelection.

700
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: It's got the skateboard on his back.

701
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: The editorial ends with this sentence, the best, the best

702
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: path forward is to lead with positive, inclusive vision of

703
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 4: what walls can be, excuse me, what Minnesota can be,

704
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 4: and celebrate the popular legislation we can build upon for

705
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 4: another DFL trifecta in twenty twenty seven.

706
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: You know, we're in chaos. We're in chaos right now.

707
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 8: This this whole state is falling apart because of Tim Walls.

708
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 2: Like seriously, it's like, hey.

709
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 8: Mister Arson, come come put out this fire that you created.

710
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing that.

711
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 12: Ak Now that I know I'm a exer with walls

712
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 12: makes me feel just.

713
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: Right right out of the gate there, akay, right out

714
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 4: of the.

715
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Hey John, great show today, it's your boy tearing here

716
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: from the Crescent.

717
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 11: Yeah.

718
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: Overcome the pandemic, I mean, lock everything down, crush the

719
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: local economy, strap two, strap uh face diapers on two

720
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: year old, and then forced everybody to get experimental vaccines.

721
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: That's overcoming the pandemic while locking old people into you know,

722
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: nursing homes and stuff. This is crazy overcoming the pandemic.

723
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: That's the lowest bar ever set. All right, thanks for

724
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: the talkback today, have it.

725
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: Thank you for the comment. Greatly appreciate it.

726
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: I want to go through by the way, this is

727
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 4: a quick one that I want to share with you guys.

728
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 4: I had grabbed this earlier in the week, but it

729
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: was fairly benign, and I actually had gone to go

730
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 4: and recycle it because I wasn't going to cover it,

731
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: and then something popped up on my feet and I

732
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: felt like it was worse sharing. So there was an

733
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: article when the Minnesota Reformer and the headline was survey

734
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 4: Minnesota students faring better compared to a few years ago.

735
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: Now it caught my.

736
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: Attention because obviously we've talked a lot about, you know,

737
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 4: the education system here, the lack of proficiency in reading,

738
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 4: in math. They lowered the standards as it relates to

739
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 4: graduation to increase the graduation rates. And then suddenly you

740
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 4: have this, you know, this article, this survey students faring

741
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 4: better than compared a few years ago.

742
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is going on?

743
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 4: So I look into it and it's basically about mental health.

744
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 4: What it is though it is a survey done by

745
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: the State of Minnesota. It is voluntary and it is anonymous,

746
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 4: and they got this positive outlook.

747
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: So first off, you got a big old question mark,

748
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: like wasting the survey out right? Sure, okay.

749
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: In this it says that less than half of Minnesota

750
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: students in fifth, eighth, ninth, and eleventh grades completed the

751
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: optional survey, which has been administered over the course of

752
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 4: the past few years. So again I grabbed it and

753
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 4: I was like, well, this is interesting, I wonder but

754
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 4: there wasn't anything else to it. And I was like, ah,

755
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna blow it off. I'm doing

756
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 4: prep yesterday and I see this post from Tim Walls

757
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 4: new we're seeing a reversal in a decades long trend

758
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: of declining student mental health.

759
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 2: Over the last few years, we've been invested.

760
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 4: In free school meals, public schools, teacher training, and mental

761
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 4: health resources. Today we're seeing the results. I'm sorry, today

762
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 4: we're seeing the results. And I just stopped and I

763
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: went he's basing it off of this voluntary, mononymous survey

764
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 4: that was conducted by the State of Minnesota. You know,

765
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 4: these are the little tiny things, the nefarious chipping away

766
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 4: and the narratives that they form, and it really speaks

767
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: to the lengths.

768
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 2: That they will go to.

769
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: Now, I don't have any evidence that this survey was bogus,

770
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 4: you know, in terms.

771
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 2: Of people filling it out, but to say it's suspect, right,

772
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 2: And that's.

773
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 4: The least thing you can say when you see the

774
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: combination of these two together where suddenly now he's touting, oh, look,

775
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 4: we're seeing a reversal in this decade long trend of

776
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 4: declining student health and it's all because we're giving out

777
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 4: free meals.

778
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 6: Now.

779
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but here's the thing, Like, this is what democrats

780
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 5: do all the time. They will literally create a cherry

781
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 5: picked data story and then they'll use that as a

782
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 5: fact basis that then everyone else refers to without referring

783
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 5: to it directly. But if you dig deep enough, you

784
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 5: know there is still some journalistic ethics. They will tag

785
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 5: what the source is and you'll come to realize that

786
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 5: democrats do this all the time. It will be sourced

787
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 5: to material that is cherry picked data, and then everyone

788
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 5: will be like, you know, there was a there was

789
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 5: a survey that showed that this this is truly what's happening,

790
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 5: And then it becomes part of like, oh, well, yeah,

791
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: everyone's referring to a thing that was never scrutinized and

792
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 5: it's just one falls. But this is what narrative, This

793
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 5: is what Walls has to do. With all of the

794
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 5: fraud narrative going on, he has to try and find

795
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 5: other places where they really just like fill up all

796
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: the narrative juice, and then that kind of runs around everywhere,

797
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 5: so everyone can be like, well, do you know that

798
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 5: Minnesota is doing a lot better because of the actions

799
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 5: of Tim Walls and all these little things.

800
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 6: Yeah.

801
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 8: To Aka's point, this is the circular content machine that

802
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 8: that Democrats create, right. Story is basically or survey is

803
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 8: initiated by the state of Minnesota. I am telling you

804
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 8: just based on the people who come down to the

805
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 8: capitol that was organized, the people who got that survey,

806
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 8: the schools that got that survey and administered it were encouraged,

807
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 8: highly encouraged by the state of Minnesota to do so.

808
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 8: That data point is then taken by a publication so that,

809
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 8: to Aka's point, it can be referenced back over and

810
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 8: over again. This is how if you ever heard Tim

811
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 8: Walls on the vice presidential campaign trail or the governor

812
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 8: campaign trail, Tim Walls would always throw out Minnesota's number

813
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 8: three in business, number three business. Well, what does that mean, right?

814
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 8: It means nothing. It means that somebody created some bogus

815
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 8: survey at some point in time to show that Minneapolis

816
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 8: or Minnesota was like thriving in business, and maybe they

817
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 8: had twelve business owners who were Walls downers.

818
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: Who filled it out.

819
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 8: Tim Wallas is referencing some vague survey in the in

820
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 8: the nebulous atmosphere of the Internet, to say we're number

821
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 8: three in business, when no, we aren't. No one believes that,

822
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 8: Like it's a ridiculous claim. But Ak's right. This is

823
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 8: the circular content machine that democrats participate in.

824
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: Just file this away.

825
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 4: Just file this away as we head into next year,

826
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 4: because you will see Walls end up using this at

827
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 4: someone when a debate comes up, when something else comes up,

828
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 4: file this away, and just remember that in this particular instance,

829
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 4: that's what the starting point was in this case relating

830
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 4: to the mental health of students because they have so

831
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 4: little that they can go and hang their hat on

832
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 4: regarding education.

833
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 7: And I'm glad he's picked this issue because there are

834
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 7: few issues that Americans agree on as widely as the

835
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 7: fact that there's a mental health crisis among teenagers and

836
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 7: pre teens.

837
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: I could go on and.

838
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 7: On about that, but I don't think that this statistic

839
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 7: is going to resonate with people, especially in Minnesota.

840
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I leave it there.

841
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming up, we got more with our guests this morning.

842
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 4: We have ak Kamara, a business owner, an RNC committeeman.

843
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: I called you business Presidential residence visitor to get the.

844
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to talk about both of your visits.

845
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 4: I believe we have a special gift that we'll be

846

Speaker 4: in the show. Right around our talkback of the day,

848
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 4: I have I want to talk a little bit about

849
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 4: paid family sick leave again. I have an email that

850
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 4: came in. Just wait, do not go anywhere. You have

851
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 4: to hear this email from a listener who's presenting another

852
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 4: real world scenario of what she's witnessing already with regard

853
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: to paid family leave. Like, if you thought it was

854
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 4: ridiculous already, we're beginning to find out like the scenarios

855
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 4: involved in which people can take advantage of this are

856
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: far beyond our wildest dreams. And this particular email that

857
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 4: I received. It's a perfect example of that. Don't go anywhere.
