1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: So here's what I got at two minutes, and I'll 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: go forty seven seconds past the hour three o'clock central 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: daylight time. I say that a little less sure than 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: usual because the big scoreboard clock we've had in here 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: for a long time, one of my favorites. It's dark, 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: really yeah, and I can't tell if it's unplugged or 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: just on the fritz. And it's disorienting, it really is. 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: It's the big clock that had the exact time I 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: think Greenwich meantime. Sure, and now it's gone. You have 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: no idea what time it is. So that and now 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: our I think our internet is screwed up as well, 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's a Is it harbinger 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: or harbinger? How do you pronounce it? Of things to 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: come sure either one. It could be one of those 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: ominous programs between now and six o'clock. We call it 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: the Afternoon our Varc the Bumper to Bumper Show. Guardsy 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: is the producer. I am the occasional host, former Inkstein 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Retch newspaper the Twin Cities. We'll have the bratch on 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: Brian Kafe in text line. I hope working soon at 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: six four, six, eight six as well, there's a lot 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: to get to today. We have one scheduled guest, Kessler 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: is going to join a bit earlier than usual, five 23 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: point fifteen ish or so, because we are out at 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: six o'clock this evening. In addition, I do plan a 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: very special edition of News on the March. We could 26 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: make it lengthy too. There's a bunch of stuff to 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: get to. How many of the items we get through, 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure. Here's the latest information I have 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: dateline Tehran, Iran. This is from a number of media outlets. 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Iran closes the straight of horror moves in response to 31 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Iranian state media reports. So the 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: deal that was allegedly struck yesterday, right up against that 33 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: what was at eight o'clock Central time deadline or seven 34 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: o'clock whatever, it was, seven hour time, seven hour time, 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: where we were going to basically take out the Iranian civilization, 36 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: we thought we had a deal. Maybe it's just putting 37 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: off the inevitable, but I thought one of the terms 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: on our side. It's funny how the terms of what 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: was allegedly agreed to they don't match. We learned I 40 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: think yesterday, well, into the evening. And so now we 41 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: have a report that the straight up horror moves has 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: been closed. And I thought part of the continued part 43 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: of the demand on our side was you got to 44 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: reopen that thing, or you have to open it, you 45 00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: have to make sure it is indeed open. So were 46 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: we just putting off yesterday's deadline where we simply trying to, 47 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: as I said, almost pretend that we had a deal 48 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: for the purposes of not having to go through with 49 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: ending the civilization there? And where does this exactly leave 50 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: us this open ended conflict at this point, because that 51 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: would seem to be a fairly significant determination. Has Iran 52 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: done what it's said it's going to do. They're not 53 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: particularly trustworthy either, so we'll have to wait and see. 54 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: And in fact, I'm sure we'll get back into this 55 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: by hell, by five point fifteen, the story might have 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: changed like four or five or six times. So that's 57 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: exactly it too. My clock is out in here too, 58 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: is it my big red clock? Oh? I wonder then 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: maybe these are Internet based too for some reason or 60 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: connected with that, I don't know. There are days where 61 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: it just feels like the place shuts down, like about 62 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: two o'clock. You know what I'm saying. We're just sort 63 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: of like, well, fend for yourself. We're here, just keep 64 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: talking on the air. And we are on the air, 65 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: aren't we. I think so. I haven't gotten any text 66 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: so we're not. So now the problem is I can't 67 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: get like to set up the branch on bran kafean 68 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: text line. I've got to get to my iHeart email, 69 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: which I can't get to on my phone. I get 70 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: to on my iPad, but that's when my iPad is 71 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: connected to the internet. Maybe that's a good thing, So well, 72 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: maybe it is. Maybe that is a good thing. Who 73 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: is to say, especially later in the show. But you 74 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: can also tweet us let us know via Twitter if 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: we are on the air via x I guess I 76 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: should say, because we'll keep talking and we will hope. Indeed, 77 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: for for the best I mentioned right now only one 78 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: scheduled guest today. It is worth noting that, as we 79 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: talked to by yesterday, when it comes to your Minnesota Timberwolves, 80 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: everything good that might have happened did right. We did 81 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: ultimately take care of business against I think the Pacers 82 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: were down five starters and four bench Blash did they 83 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: go like, did they go, I know there's a really 84 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: you would know this better than I there's a great 85 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: YMCA in downtown Indianapolis. Did they just go across there 86 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: and say, hey, come on, we need some players for 87 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: the game against the Wolves. To that in the last game, 88 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: you guys are coming with us, That's exactly it. I 89 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: mean it did it come to that? So ultimately we 90 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: did take care of business one dramatically and better yet, 91 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: for the local club, the Phoenix Suns blew a big 92 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: lead at home against the Houston Rockets, and so the 93 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: combination of the Wolves winning last night and the and 94 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: the Sun's losing means we can no longer mathematically slip 95 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: the seven to the play in. We are pretty much 96 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: locked in the six position, and obviously we're willing to 97 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: accept that without much protest. Given the injury report for 98 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: tonight's game with Orlando, have you seen it? I have? 99 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: We may be going to the Orlando LIMC perhaps exactly right. 100 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Mike Conley out, rest Iodasumu out injury maintenance, which is rest, 101 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards out injury maintenance. Julius Randall out by the way, 102 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: for the first time this season, right hand soreness, Rudy 103 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Gobert questionable rest. That's the one that cracks me up. 104 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: And I think he's also been ruled out. Have they 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: have they downgraded him? I think I just saw Johnny 106 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: tweet that moments ago. Jobe Chick Daniels has missed the 107 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 1: last six. I think technically he's listed as questionable to play. 108 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: My I would be gobsmacked if he played tonight at 109 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: this point, no reason. You're you're in the position that 110 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: you're indeed in and there's nothing else to fight for, sadly, 111 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: because again there would have been if you had some 112 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: fight in you and if you'd put yourself in a 113 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: better position. Now that Denver's moved up to three and 114 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: say well, we want to play the Lakers two Like 115 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: everybody else, all we have to do is move up 116 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: to five, right, or parish the thought four to play 117 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers. Although I guess I'm forgetting to where Houston 118 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: fits into this mix, because Houston refuses to lose. They've 119 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: won seven in a row, exactly. There are three games 120 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: ahead of us, so they're ahead of us, but they 121 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: are in the fifth position. Fit right, Basically Lakers are four, yeah, 122 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: but they're tied. Yeah, so there you go. So Houston 123 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: might be hosting Houston might well be. Yeah, he's the 124 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: team that originally no everybody wanted to play. Now is 125 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: one of the hotter teams, and I'm sure they would 126 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: love to take on the depleted Los Angeles Lakers. So 127 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: we're at six for better for worse, and it looks 128 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: likely that it will be Denver, although again I think 129 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Denver's got a tough schedule down the stretch and I 130 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: don't know how hard Houston wants to push. What's the 131 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: distance between Houston and one games? Yeah, so there you go, 132 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know how the tiebreaker works between those 133 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: two teams. We can at least know we don't have 134 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: to worry about the play in at this point, and 135 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: that's still I think longview, you go back to the 136 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, I think you'd say, hey, Wolves 137 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: are going to finish, they're going to clinch in the 138 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: final week of the season that they're not in the 139 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: play in. I don't think anybody would have applauded and 140 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: said that's good, that's encouraging, but that's their situation. And 141 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: I heard your guy Scalabrini again this morning say the 142 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: Wolves are lying in wait. They are. He's a believer, 143 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: He's an absolute believer, regardless of and I don't know 144 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: how much he's actually watched us play recently, but he 145 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: thinks he that that all these injured guys, they're not 146 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: that they're playing possum, yeah, but that they will have 147 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: a chance to recharge, start over and be one of 148 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: the teams in the Western Conference that nobody wants to play. 149 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: I hope he's right. I hope he is. I'm a 150 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: little more skeptical, I think because we see them more 151 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: often than he he's going to watch everything. But it 152 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: was interesting to hear that from him yet again today. 153 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: I would assume if, for example, so we're basically going 154 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: to play either Denver or Houston, right, realistically, yep, one 155 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: of those teams is going to finish in the three spot. 156 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: It appears if we're six and Denver is three, who 157 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: will the odds makers favor in the series? Denver? If 158 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: Houston is three and we are six, who are the 159 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: odds makers favor in the series? Might be us? I 160 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: wonder if it might be Yeah, it might be a 161 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: my minds I says it should be us, Yes, But 162 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: there's the KD factor. Yeah, right, you can't forget about that, right. 163 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: Odds makers love Durant, which they should correct. The public 164 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: loves Durant, so that's where the money would probably go. Yes, 165 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know, but if you're asking me who 166 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather play, I'd rather play Houston gun Belt tight. 167 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I think we all. I think I do too at 168 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: this point, even though we've had some success against Denver, 169 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: and Denver doesn't really guard. Denver is very dangerous offensively, 170 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: especially if they're healthy. They have joker, and they have 171 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: joker and they have they have won a ring. Yeah, 172 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, not all the same play with the North 173 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: Carolina coach. They have won a ring. Yeah, with the 174 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina coach. That's exactly true. All right, let's get 175 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: our first pause in and see if we can get 176 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: any of our hardware taken care of. I doubt the 177 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: answer is going to be yes, but I'll keep an 178 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: open mind on that. Eventually, we hope the branch on 179 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: Brian Kafe and text line will be open at six four, 180 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: six eighty six. I've got to follow up to our 181 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Bad News Bears discussion yesterday briefly. I want to get 182 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: back to that. I got some twins stuff, I got 183 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: some wild stuff, I've got well, I've got we we 184 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: have over the years to evaluate and rank apologies, right, 185 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how often we've reacted or ranked the 186 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: reaction to the apology. In other words, if the apology 187 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: is to a particular individual, how does that individual react? 188 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: Does that individual take the high road the low road? 189 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: What's the right approach to take when that individual is 190 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: or I could say team but in this case individual 191 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: is issued an apology. We'll get into that discussion. The 192 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: return of Dairyland diaries today what yes? And in this 193 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: case not quite as satirical as usual. And as I mentioned, 194 00:11:44,600 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: news on the march, don't know what all? Right? I 195 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: think we got the text line going Bratchaw and Brian 196 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Cafe in text line is successfully rebooted six four, six 197 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: eighty six. Lots of folks already texting and tweeting as well, 198 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: confirming that we are indeed on the air. This is 199 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: from John out of Plaia Vista, California, Dan and JG 200 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: listening to you thirty five thousand feet above Earth on 201 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: a delta flight with my two year old in Premium. 202 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: Any inspiring words for a bumpy air. Love you, guys, 203 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: I would say, if you got your two year old 204 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: and they're expressing any kind of frustration with it. Yeah. 205 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: The one thing you shouldn't say is what Charles Groden 206 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: once said to Robert de Niro before a flight left 207 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: in one of the best buddy movies ever made. These 208 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: things go down, they go down. That's not what you 209 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: want to say. That's not going to I think take 210 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: the edge off when you have bumpy air. Correct. Usually 211 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: not that was That's for most people, usually not Gallows humor. 212 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it works on some. I doubt Gallows humor works 213 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: on a two year old. I don't know what works 214 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: on a two year old at this point. Snacks snacks off, yeah, 215 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: usually yeah. I would also say, if you're sitting in 216 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: Delta Premium in this economy right now, you're doing fine. 217 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: I don't need any advice. Yeah, well you're good. Yeah, 218 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: you want to get to the other side wherever you're true. 219 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: I would have for him. The big news that Russo 220 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: tweeted out a couple of times this week that now 221 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: on Delta flights you can somehow log into the athletic 222 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: for free. Is that true? In the Delta app. Yeah, 223 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: they have a partnership now, so I haven't figured out 224 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 1: my cheap shot yet. Does that there's got to be 225 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: a two or three or four, because I've been able 226 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: to read the Athletic in the air already because of 227 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: my multiple Like you, we both have like four subscriptions 228 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: each and sometimes I gotta toggle between both of them 229 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: because this one's for news and this one's but I 230 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: mean sports. But now you can read the Athletic from 231 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: the air on Delta FLA. I think I'm spending six 232 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year on the Athletic, I'm pretty sure. 233 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: And I didn't even I didn't even get a hoodie 234 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: or a ball Remember when we're gonna get ball caps, 235 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: we're going to get something something. You got nothing nothing 236 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: to this point. That's not good. Can you clarify something 237 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: for me? I'll try this. This is I mean, in 238 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, it's hard to separate fact from fiction. 239 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: We know that AI from reality, all those sorts of things. 240 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: But I have I read at least that. I think 241 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: he's the I can find. I think I think the 242 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: guy who tweeted this out his name is Jonathan Carl. 243 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: He's ABC News Chief Washington correspondent. Okay, so I don't 244 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: know if this is a folk of fake Jonathan Carl, 245 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, one of those like burner accounts or like 246 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: somebody pretending to be him, right or not? Did you 247 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: see or read what he tweeted out earlier today? I 248 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: did not. I'm just going to read this to you, 249 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: see what you think. This morning, I asked President Trump 250 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: if he's okay with the Iranians charging a toll for 251 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz. He 252 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: told me there may be a joint US Iran venture 253 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: to charge tolls. Quote. We're thinking of doing it as 254 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: a joint venture. It's a way of securing it, also 255 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: securing it from lots of people. It's a beautiful thing. 256 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: It appears to be real. What world are we in? 257 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: And somebody reacting snarkily and brilliantly, do you remember, well 258 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: the Oldheimer's in the crowd will remember the delusional mayor 259 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: in the motion picture Jaws who refuses to accept the 260 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: fact that they've got a killer shark on their beaches 261 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: and that the beaches need to stay closed, despite the 262 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: fact that the holiday weekend is coming up and he's 263 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: interviewed before. By the way, another shark attack. But as 264 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: you see, it's a beautiful day. The straight of Horror 265 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: Moves is open, and the people are having a wonderful 266 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: time channeling nicely. The comments from that one of the 267 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: more memorable lines from that motion picture. Now, I don't 268 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: know how many times that's changed. I'm guessing five or 269 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: six since the President offered that up. As I said 270 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: over the top of the show, the new information is 271 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: that the strait of a Horror Moves is closing in 272 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: response to attacks on Lebanon. Remember those reports come from 273 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: Iranian state media, not exactly the most credible. So is 274 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: it true? Is that what they intend to do? Is 275 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: it subterfuge? Like everything else, it's you almost you almost 276 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: need some kind of a filter. But I don't think 277 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: that such a filter exists to separate bravado commentary, threats, 278 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: et cetera, from what actually what you know conduct is 279 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: actually indeed taking place. As well, I mentioned, we spent 280 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: a lot of time early yesterday on the anniversary of 281 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: the release of the original Bad News Bears FI almost 282 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: fifty years ago yesterday. I want to mention, uh, I 283 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: don't have to spend a lot of time following it up, 284 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: but I found a nice tweet response or Twitter response 285 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: ex response from old buddy Jeff Grayson, former local uh 286 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: you know Minneapolis Saint Paul TV sports heavyweight. He was listening. 287 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: Can't agree more on the Bad News Bears pick to me. 288 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: There's a scene that shows the power of silence late 289 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: in the movie when Walter Mathow, playing Buttermaker the manager, 290 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: goes off on the Bears during the championship game and 291 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: all you see are scared kids, silence. Mathow realized that 292 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: he had gone too far. Amazing. It was the Mathow 293 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: moment realizing I'm now channeling the Yankees manager who is 294 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: out of line and out of control, has no sense 295 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: of perspective about what he's doing. That was a very 296 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: good moment from that motion picture. If you rented that 297 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: film last night in celebration and solidarity, let me know 298 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: via the Bradshawn Brian caffein text line six four six 299 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: eight six that's six four six eight six as well, 300 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: and we will be glad to acknowledge exactly that. Certainly 301 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: hope that i'd be you know, I mean, I'm not 302 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: expecting that everybody did it but I'm wondering if maybe 303 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: somebody did, because I've not seen it's been a while 304 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: actually since I've seen the film. That part is true. 305 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: I mentioned we're gonna have news on the March coming up. 306 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: We may even get into some of that next segment 307 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: if we can apolodazzle. We've tended to using the pel 308 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: scale evaluate apologies, right, whether we think they're legit, phony semiphony, 309 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: because some apologies do the old You pretty much known 310 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: the apology, and any point goes with the not to 311 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: make excuses, but that it's not going to be a 312 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: full pelf, right, it's gonna be a conditional pelf at best. 313 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: Now do we give before we get to the reaction 314 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: to the apology, do we give Gino Arima any credit 315 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: for realizing his original apology was worthy of no more 316 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: than a half pelf? Yeah, he came back with a 317 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: second one that more directly addressed who he ignored in 318 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: the original apology, the head coach of South Carolina, Don Staley. 319 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: Do we give him? Can you give him a full pelf? 320 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: Or do you still grate it down because he blew 321 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: it the first time and now it almost comes off 322 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: as even more performative that he's been told. You really 323 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: didn't do a very good job the first time. How 324 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: did you How did you rank grade the second or 325 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: I am an apology that was a lot more specific 326 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: and a lot more shall we say, tough on himself. 327 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I think he nailed it a lot better. The essence 328 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: of his failure the second time around that he did 329 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: the first. Is that enough to give him a full pelf. No, 330 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: the clocks are backed by the way I noticed he 331 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: saw that, and everything should be good. Yeah, so is 332 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: that internet related to yes? Wow, yes, apparently something had 333 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: been powered off. It's been powered back up. I think 334 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: we just shut her down it two or most likely yeah, 335 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: most likely they said power trip's gone, right, that could 336 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: be part of it. We can do that. Anyway, they 337 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: went and looked and Common wasn't here because he was 338 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: on location today, so they said they must be done. 339 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: That's it. So I'll tell you what. Let's stay on schedule. 340 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: But I'll ask you to answer that question whether you 341 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: give him any points for attempting a second apology, given 342 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: how lousy and really poorly executed, you could argue the 343 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: first one was. And we'll get to some news on 344 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: the March items as well. Bradshawn Bryan Cafe and text 345 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: line is open at six four six. Sponsorship available, although 346 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: I guess if it would be sponsored, we'd have to 347 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: be a little more regular with it. That's one of 348 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: my bumper to bumper afternoon ard of art goals, especially 349 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: as we get into this closer to the summer months. 350 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: Sure try to lock in more consistently on the news 351 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: on the March item number one, A couple of these 352 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: are local, actually several of them are local. Item number 353 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: one comes from the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is 354 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: several I think outlets have reported on this, although this 355 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: might be a scoop via castp dot com. Ellen Gales 356 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: I think wrote it. Sources have told five Eyewitness News 357 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara does not have enough 358 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: city council support right now to be approved as top cop. 359 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: A source close to the process that of the city 360 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: council voted on Chief O'Hara. Now his appointment would indeed fail, 361 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: I guess you'd say reappointment. That source said the mayor 362 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: has not yet forwarded O'Hara's name for official confirmation because 363 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: the votes are not there. Last week the city told 364 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: five out and I was news the mayor can hold 365 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: a nomination from the two undred ten days, taking the 366 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: process into offense, or should say into August. The source 367 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: of the mayor's team is also working behind the scenes 368 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: to try to build more support. O'Hara is now in 369 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: as fourth year as Minneapolis Police chief. Now, we had 370 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: Andy Lueger in studio last week. You were out for that, correct, yes, 371 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: And I brought up the start to Mutne had had 372 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: a story with a pretty leading headline something the effect 373 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: of complaints pile up against the police chief, the current 374 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: police chief. And although I guess you said that's technically true, 375 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: then it's okay. Well, what are the complaints about? How 376 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: legitimate are the complaints? The number of complaints apparently is 377 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: much higher than any of the previous four or five 378 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: police chiefs. I asked Andy lug about it. Luger admitted 379 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: that he is a huge Chief O'Hara supporter. He believes 380 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: he's done a very good job, and he suggested a 381 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: belief that part of why there has been pushback in 382 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: some cases resentment perhaps is that he has attempted to 383 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: make or start real structural change. So it's a story 384 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: worth keeping our eye on as we go forward with 385 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: it because I thought in most precincts, and I use 386 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: that term figuratively, not literally, he was fairly highly regarded. 387 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean there's been perfection, doesn't mean there has been 388 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: pushback criticism from time to time as well. But we're 389 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: back to what exactly I mean, let's be honest with 390 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: this city council. All bets are off on, you know, 391 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: what they might be looking for or who might actually 392 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: be acceptable to them, quite frankly, but it's a story 393 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: that caught my eye and so it's certainly worth I 394 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: think paying attention too, and maybe Kessler might have some 395 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: insight on that as well. I don't know. In this story, 396 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: they did contact the mayor about the timing of his nominations. 397 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: I think has changed as a campaign and my support 398 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: of the chief, so he seems to be doubling down 399 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: on that part. We'll be announcing all of our department 400 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: heads together in due time. And it is the great 401 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: irony is that the assumption was there was great sentiment 402 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: in the city that we needed a chief, really a 403 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: series of chiefs that would push back against the institutional 404 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: nature of a much of the dysfunction in the department, 405 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: and so one would then assume that it might well 406 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: be that some of the complaints might be considered a 407 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: badge of honor that he's actually doing the job. Now. 408 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: Some of them have to apparently with language which might 409 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with it as well, but story 410 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: worthy of spending I think paying attention to as we 411 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: go forward. This second one is also local, a little lighter, 412 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: but start Tobune reports that did we owe this outlet 413 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: when it closed? Because I'm not even sure that it 414 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: was closed? Maybe we did. It was closed in June 415 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: of last year, twenty twenty five? Sex World. Did we 416 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: owe sex World when it was closed? I think we did? Oh? 417 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: Did we? I think we did that? Yes, that would 418 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: be probably according to form it would be. But apparently 419 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: it is now auctioning off hundreds of items. Hundreds hundreds 420 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: of items wow from the legendary North Loop story. Closed 421 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: as I said, last June after thirty two years of business, 422 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: and it is made more than four hundred items available 423 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: on something called kbid dot com. The bids will run 424 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: until tomorrow looks like April nine. Okay, for the record, 425 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: can I even type in sex World here on this computer. 426 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: We just got a computer. I'm sure you could. We 427 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: just got our internet back. Yeah, I'm sure you Could's 428 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: it's probably very customary there. I just want to see 429 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: what's up for auction. Well, i'll give you a couple 430 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: things noted in this story. You might find some other stuff. 431 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: They note almost immediately, I guess, figuring this is what 432 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: people would wonder about first. I'm just reading it. Start 433 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: de viewing rights. No, the six foot long penis that 434 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: one could ride like a mechanical bull is not among 435 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: the treasures available. Somebody already claimed that apparently, so yeah, okay, 436 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Nor are there any sexy foot or pornographic videos. But 437 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: there's a wealth of what they describe as other memorabilia. Yep, 438 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it now. The lot includes many vintage 439 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: posters and signs for sex World and other cheeky wallart, 440 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: with messages such as clothing optional beyond this point erotic pleasures. 441 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read that. I wouldn't. That's just 442 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: I won't read that one. I don't know what distinction 443 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: I think I'm drawing here. Going down this road, you 444 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 1: can even purchase the doors from the Stor's old Triple 445 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: X video booth. I wouldn't want those doors. That's that's 446 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: just you. Yeah, you don't need those doors. It was 447 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: formerly located at two forty one Second Avenue North. It 448 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: opened in ninety three and for nearly all of it's 449 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: run was open twenty four hours a day, seven days 450 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: a week. Was there anything else besides sex World that 451 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: could claim in our community that it was open, because again, 452 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: this is it stayed open post covidy, in post COVID 453 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: period in particular, was there any other business establishment that 454 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: could league could actually right rightly claim that it was 455 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: opened twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 456 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: because now nothing's opened twenty four to seven. Are there 457 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: no restaurants in lake Castle? Denny's, those are all that's 458 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: all done now, that doesn't I haven't had the need 459 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: for food at three in the morning in a really 460 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, I gotta figure some fast food places 461 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: were open twenty four to seven, or a diner. Yes, 462 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: I think Mickey's Diners opened twenty four to seven in 463 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: Saint Paul. I think so. I ate there before the 464 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: state tournament. I'm pretty sure. Okay, yeah, I'm pretty sure. 465 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Maybe there's a couple of exceptions because there used to 466 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: be grocery stores that were open twenty four Yeah, that's 467 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: long gone for sure. I think somebody will come up 468 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: with some other five hundred and nine items. T shirts 469 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: for sweatshirts, memorabilia for cannabis, old tobacco products, including a 470 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: giant marijuana themed inflatable tube man. And they also shuddered 471 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: TCHC joint, so that was part of the establishment do it. 472 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: Did you find anything worth discussing that we can discuss. Well, 473 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of signs. As you mentioned, there's a 474 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: sex World trash can okay says that on the reading 475 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: on the sign. This one confuses me. A triple extra 476 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: large Minnesota Timberwolve shirt. Now, is that just left there 477 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: and they're trying to sell it? That's a good question, 478 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: because I don't know if I want that. A lot 479 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: of signs, a lot of signs, a lot of neon signs. 480 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: There's a pink neon sign that appears to be just 481 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: a woman's body. Yep, that's a woman's backside. Eighty one 482 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: bucks right now. Next required bid for that one's eighty six. Interesting. 483 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff I love going through these auctions. 484 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: I know you do it when like Bill Walton's auctioning 485 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: off his entire estat right, and I ended up not 486 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: getting anything there, but it was i'd like to do 487 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: for old restaurants and bars because it's cool to see. Yeah, 488 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: it's I've never really purchased anything, but it's cool to 489 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: see somebody's saying the cub in the West End is 490 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: open twenty four to seven. Still really, I don't know 491 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: if that's the one right there, but that's what they 492 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: would be, right in our doorstep, with our doorstep.

Oh cases, I see, not actual DVDs, right, Okay, 502 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: I think they're for like bootleg videos or things like that. 503 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: To be made. Item number three, it's it's tough to 504 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: top that. I know this one. I guess would be 505 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: considered more serious. Have you heard about the big news 506 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: regarding Minneapolis finally landing in what's called the Michelin Guide. 507 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: It's been everywhere today and I can't say I'm moved 508 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: by it. Okay, well, we're going to get to a 509 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: couple things about it. Let's set it up. Start. Bune 510 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: has written about it. There's a peace online. The International 511 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: Restaurant Rating System will release a guide to dining in 512 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: six cities that together make up the American Great Lakes 513 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: Region Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh. Guess who's 514 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: left out as usual? Saint Paul, Minnesota. This new regional 515 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: edition has been a long time coming for the Michelin 516 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: Guide and our famous and our famously anonymous Inspectors. That's 517 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: from the international director of the Michelan Guide. This is 518 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: at a news conference in Milwaukee today. I'm not mistaken. 519 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: Inspectors already out with boots on the ground exploiting local 520 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: culinary scenes. Minneapolis, according to this story, has entered a 521 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: three year agreement with Michelin at tw hundred and fifty 522 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,239 Speaker 1: thousand dollars per year, an investment that is funded by 523 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: a two percent surcharge on stage at Minneapolis hotels with 524 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: more than fifty rooms, known as the Minneapolis Tourism Improved District. 525 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: The initiative generates approximately seven million dollars a year for 526 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: supplemental tour tourism marketing, sales and events. This has taken 527 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: I think in the community is a big reason for celebration, 528 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: right that for the restaurant. You like us system here 529 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: and how it might bring added health to it. I 530 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: want to quote your guy, who actually I think also 531 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: linked to some of the stories about it, Your guy, 532 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Bloyce Olsen. Yeah, and he writes, he's morning. Take guy, 533 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: He's got every day this massive distillation of what would 534 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: you call it local news, regional news, exactly the whole bit. 535 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: I mean's good with great it's it's terrific. It's a 536 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: great overview, place to go to. And here's what he writes. 537 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: All the Michelin news is good, but the sliver of 538 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: hospitality it represents is not significant. Economic a guide isn't 539 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: going to save us. It's a shiny object. We have 540 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: a structural economic reputation and regulation challenge that makes the 541 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: twin cities in Minnesota an outlier. If you want real 542 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: data about the state of hospitality. See this report. He says, 543 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: it's also released today. Now he highlights a couple things 544 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: from it, including this, Minnesota's hospitality industry is on the 545 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: brink of no return. The current economic environment in Minnesota 546 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: is not sustainable. And then he links to a couple 547 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: numbers here, and most of them, by the way, are daunting, 548 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: shall we say, in terms of how poorly the hospitality 549 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 1: industry is still doing. And I don't know how much 550 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: this you put on COVID post COVID, I don't know 551 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: how much we compare you know how this is the 552 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: is just the reality in a lot of cities, not 553 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: just Minneapolis St. Paul. But I appreciated his interest in 554 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: trying to bring some context to this that goes beyond 555 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: what's going to be a series of Chamber of Commerce 556 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: like celebrations about like you said, you like us, you 557 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: really like us. And I'm not saying it's bad. I'm 558 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: not saying it's anything to hate, but it's going to 559 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: be used, probably inaccurately in some cases, as a sign 560 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: that we're on the verge of a turnaround, and this 561 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: is what's going to engineer much of that turnaround. And 562 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: if you believe this report, and if you believe the 563 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: way Bloyce's is summarizing it, that's not even close to 564 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: being the case. So let's slow down a little bit 565 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: on a commemorative print regarding what this particular announcement actually 566 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: means beyond, as he says, the shiny new object. I'm 567 00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: also all for city tourism entities investing to draw events 568 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: to draw people to market the city. Yes, that's one thing, 569 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: much to my chagrin, that Indianapolis has done a phenomenal 570 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: job of. And I'm not even being facetious, that's what 571 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 1: they've been really good at. Yes, investing and finance important. However, 572 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty grand to get on this beautiful 573 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: people list a year. I know it's a small drop 574 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: in the seven million or whatever it is this day 575 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: at a feeding our Future clinic. Come on, man, that's 576 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: just that's nothing. You can get that back in note. 577 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: I just that to me seems a little one percenter, 578 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I love that. Yeah, well 579 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: there is, I mean about the whole thing. That's who 580 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be appealed to. But sadly, I think 581 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: there's going to be an effort to make it more 582 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: grassroots than it is. And that's I think why I 583 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: wanted to bring up what he had read or he 584 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: had written after taking a look at a survey that, 585 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 1: interestingly enough again just came out today and he links 586 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: to it. It's you can get it via well. I 587 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: would just say, go to Bloyce Olsen his his ex 588 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: account B L O I S O L S O 589 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: N and he's got it fairly early. I think he 590 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: tweeted it out like about five hours ago, and there's 591 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: a link to the entire you could say the entire 592 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: report state of hospitality that was. I don't know if 593 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: is that coincidence it was released today or whatever the 594 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: case may be, but I thought that was pretty interesting. 595 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: What's fascinating too, is anticipating Indianapolis. One textra already has said, 596 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: I'm guessing Indianapolis is already in the Michelin Guide. So 597 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: that person didn't know thought it was going to be 598 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: a good joke, not knowing that you would indeed in 599 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: this case site indianapolish in a positive way, as hard 600 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: as that is for you to do. I'm going to 601 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: look up and see if they are. I'm sure they are. 602 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: They can't they couldn't have let that slip. Oh, they're 603 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: one of the new ones. Is that right? Yeah, they're 604 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: one of the new I don't know if you read 605 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: that as well. Interesting, they're one of the new ones 606 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: along with us. So we're right lockstep with Indy. You 607 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: knew they wouldn't let all these Midwest cities get in 608 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: there without them having something to say about it. Yeah, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, 609 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: and Indy. I hope they find Saint Almos I hope 610 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: they could get in. Well here here's like, there's the 611 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: very respected Dara Moskowitz Grumdall MSP magazine. She believes, apparently 612 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 1: because a couple of people have sent links to pieces 613 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: she's written, that the Michelin Star restaurants can bring substantial 614 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: economic benefit. So there's no last word on this. I 615 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: think we should acknowledge lots of different points of view 616 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: on it. But my concern would be sort of what 617 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: Bloy's laid out that in restaurants circles, there's a prestige 618 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: to would that I think people want to kind of, 619 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, raise their hands and say, yeah, we're a 620 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: little more vital, and we got that going for us, 621 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: But will it beyond that has to affect a lot 622 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: more than two or three of the great the best 623 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: restaurants right now, maybe this lifts everybody up. I don't know, 624 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: but and I guess you could say, well, the report 625 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: indicates you need some help. Maybe you get some help 626 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: from it. The question is does this fall into classification 627 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: of if you if you reside in that territory of 628 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: covering restaurants and being a foodie and being into what 629 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: the Michelin you know, validation gives is it is that 630 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: more psychological right than it actually is economic in terms 631 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: of the impact over a period of time. And I 632 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: guess times as trying to Tucker would say, only time 633 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: would tell Davey correct. I think it's a little thirsty 634 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: of us think so, yeah, that's just me. But I'm 635 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: not a foodie. No. I I tend to think that 636 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: way too. That's why I thought would because the survey, 637 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: the stuff that Bloyse laid out was man that looked 638 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: pretty dire, that went well beyond any prestige thing that 639 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: we can beat our chests about, are really going to 640 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: have a long term effect in that regard one other item, 641 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: this is national and unrelated to any of these other stories, 642 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: but it did get my attention as it could also 643 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: I think be done as material. But it's sort of 644 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: where we are politically in Michigan. There's a Democratic Senate 645 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: candidate named Abdul l Sayed and this goes back about 646 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: a week and a half got some national attention because 647 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: of this, I think the ramifications of it, what it 648 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: says about things politically. He acknowledged on an internal campaign call. 649 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: This is via several media outlet that his lengthy statement 650 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: remember that Temple Israel attack in Michigan. Oh yeah, that 651 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: his statement about that attack was a quote risk that 652 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: really worried his team. One day after the thwarted terrorist 653 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: attack at a West Bloomfield, Michigan synagogue March twelve, l 654 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: Sayed released a four minute video rightly condemning the attack, 655 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: while tying Ghazali that's the individual we believe is responsible 656 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,720 Speaker 1: for the thwarted terrorist attack, his actions to Israel's military 657 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: campaign in Lebanon. So he lays out about the airstrike 658 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: killed his niece and nephew. We can and must condemn 659 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: the attack on Temple Israel, and we can and must 660 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: condemn the violence six thousand miles away as possible, But 661 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: reflecting on the statement, lsa Ed admitted he his take 662 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: was controversial. It was a risk. All of our team 663 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: was really worried about saying something. But leadership is being 664 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: willing to say the thing if you believe it to 665 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: be true that nobody else is going to say. We 666 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: understood that putting out a nuanced statement opened the door 667 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: for bad faith critiques, but decided it was important to 668 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: give voice to the complexities that so many Michigan Michiganders 669 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: are trying to navigate. I would say, to that extent, 670 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: I give him credit for I think saying the right thing. 671 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: What got a lot of attention nationally was how sad 672 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: it is that it was considered a risk. Now, there 673 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: are political risks in that state that you can say 674 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to agree with, but that are 675 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: a reality there. But the fact that you'd have to 676 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: sort of play that out, debate that with your staff 677 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: and wonder, gee, can we actually condemn a thwarted terrorist 678 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: attack on a synagogue? Will there be ramifications to us 679 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: doing that? That in itself is quite sad, even if 680 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: it is quite telling. And of course, as every day 681 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: goes by. We have continued connections and political rapifications to 682 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: pretty much everything everybody says, whether you're talking about Israel, 683 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: whether you're talking about any part of the Middle East, 684 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: if you're talking about Iran as well, including the Strait 685 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: of Horror moves, whether it's going to be closed as 686 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,359 Speaker 1: we would say, let's do this, Let's get a top 687 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: of the hour break in that wraps up news on 688 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: the March. We've got Kessler coming up probably about five 689 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: point fifteen, because we're out at six o'clock this afternoon. 690 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: I do have dairyland diaries to get to. We got 691 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot more to discuss before we wrap things up 692 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: at six. Right here, I'm a fan
