1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: In Roseville, Woodbury, Maple Grove and Burnsville. Today. Oh hell yeah, 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: I'd hate to start off with sad news this morning. Well, 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: I was already planning on doing that. There was the 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: passing of an actor who was very relevant to me 5 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: in my weekend. But right as I arrived in studio 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: this morning here on Twin City's News Talk, my name 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: is John Justice. Thanks for letting me have yesterday off. 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Sam is in the master control booth 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: this morning. But I bit of breaking news. The Reverend 10 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson passed away age eighty four. Apparently he was 11 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: dealing with a condition that was very similar to Parkinson's. 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: I was looking at the looking at the bio and 13 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: going through the details of it. I'd never heard of 14 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: this particular condition, but apparently he's been strung going with 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: this for a while. So of course, no stranger to politics, 16 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean no stranger to you know, just the world 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: in general. Incredibly well known figure civil rights leader, Reverend 18 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson passing away at age eighty four. As we 19 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: kick off the show this morning, As I mentioned, Twin 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: City's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one to three 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: five FM, worldwide on the iHeart radio app. Did you 22 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: enjoy your long weekend that extra day? I'm sure you 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to work or do any other jobs, and 24 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: you just had the whole day to yourself, right, Sam. 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: Actually, yesterday I did have the whole day TOFLF. I 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: went to the gym and sarcastic feeling that today. But no, 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: the Mondays are kind of weird because this is the 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: only job I have on Monday. So it was nice 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 2: to have me off for once. 30 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty funny I took I took Monday 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: off mostly because of the the Daytona five hundred. Okay, 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: So I've run into this problem before where I typically 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: would not take Monday off and then inevitably the you know, 34 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: Florida would pop up. The race would get delayed a 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: day or it would be delayed into the evening, and 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: it would really screw it up as we kick off 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: NASCAR season priorities right this, So this is the second 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: year in a row that I've decided to take Monday off, 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: and it got off without a hitch. They actually started 40 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: the race early because they were racing the rain. It 41 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: was over by I think at least four o'clock, if 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: not earlier than earlier than that. Yeah, it went by fast, 43 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: fantastic race. All of my drivers sucked, most of them 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: wrecked out, including Mike I Bowmen couldn't even drive his 45 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: car back to the to the pit through no fault 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: of his own. But it was a It was a 47 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: fantastic race. Now the weekend where the NASCAR season starts, right, 48 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: I always do a rewatch of Days of Thunder, which 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: which is just top gun on rubber. It's exactly the 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: same story. I know where you're going with this, even 51 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: including the same actor. One of my favorite actors would 52 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: be Robert Duval, who of course is one of the 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: stars of that film alongside Tom Cruise. Duval's the crew chief. 54 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: He's not racing the car. Tragically, he also passed away 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: over the weekend, and I died on Sunday. A Facebook 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: post from his wife confirmed that yesterday, at age ninety five, 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 1: Luciana Duval fifty four and our Argentine actress and director 58 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: who's been married to the actress since two thousand and five. 59 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: He passed away at ninety five and his wife is 60 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: one year older than me. Man's doing all right for himself, 61 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: although Kyle my nineteen year old called me old yesterday. 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, come on, man, what nice? 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: Now? 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Come on now. He actually came downstairs and to see 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: I was working on something that was prepping for the show, 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and he came downstairs yesterday and he was like he 67 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: walked away and he came back. He's like, I think 68 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: your breastings. I'm like, well, I wouldn't surprise me. I 69 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: haven't rushed since I got up this morning so far. 70 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: So he's like, yeah, it's either that or old man smell. 71 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, just unprompted. Yeah, nowhere just taking just 72 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: taking shots for no reason whatsoever. 73 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: Nice to see you too, man. 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: After a short attempt at a military life, Duval made 75 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: it a go at acting. Eventually became friends with a 76 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: few others who were also struggling to break into the 77 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: business at the time. Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, James Kahn. 78 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 1: So there you go. Probably best noted for his best 79 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: actor Oscar in eighty four for Tender Mercies, The Great Santini, 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: The Apostle, Apocalypse Now Always Great An Apocalypse Now The Godfather. 81 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, a couple of a couple of icons.

I'm 87 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: sure there'll be no controversies as lawmakers head to the 88 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: capitol in Saint Paul. I'm sure everything will go incredibly 89 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: smoothly given everything that's transpired here in Minnesota. I'm sure 90 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: you're fascinating. Yeah, I know a lot of ice updates 91 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: to dive into. We will talk fraud.

Two people were killed and at least three 93 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: others critically injured after a man who identifies as a 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: woman open fire at a hockey school excuse me, at 95 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: a high school hockey game in Rhode Island. The Pawtucket 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: Police Chief Tina Gonzalez confirmed in a Monday press conference, 97 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: saying this, So. 98 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: What I can say right now that we have identified 99 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: the person the sessec by a birth name.

That really doesn't have anything to do with 105 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: the investigation. Yeah, nineteen sixty nine, yes one. 106 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a lot of information over this mentally 107 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: deranged individual. I want to provide a few more details 108 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: coming up, getting into the background of this person. Just again, 109 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: a horrific tragedy.

Good morning, 131 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: and I love your show. 132 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: So what I can say right now that we have 133 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: identified the person the SSI FI and birth name. The 134 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: birth name was Robert Dorgan. We have also learned that 135 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: the person does go by the name of ROBERTA also 136 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: uses the last name of Esposito, but that will be 137 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: all confirmed throughout the cout of the investigation. As to 138 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: this status, that really doesn't have anything to do with 139 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: the investigation. 140 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: Two people were killed at least three others critically injured 141 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: after that individual described by the Pawtuck and police chief 142 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: open fire at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island. 143 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Court records from twenty twenty confirmed that Dorgan had undergone 144 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: gender reassignment surgery. Dorgon claimed to North the Providence Police 145 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: at the time that his father in law attempted to 146 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: throw him out of the house following his surgery. Around 147 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: that time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. Wait, he went 148 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: through the gender reassignment surgery and then she filed for divorce? 149 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: Does she not believe he was going to go through 150 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: with it? Initially citing gender reassignment surgery narcissistic and personality 151 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: disorder traits is the reason before crossing them out and 152 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: writing irreconcilable differences. Alreadies have not publicly identified the victims, 153 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: nor have they confirmed the precise relationships involved in what 154 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: they believe is in a parent family dispute. Police have 155 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: also not released information about the weapon that was used. 156 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 4: Good morning, John, This is Chuck from Green Isle and 157 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: j In this next Leslato session, will that be addressing 158 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 4: the trans shooting epidemics and how mental health has failed 159 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 4: these people in the United States. This something's got to 160 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 4: be done about this. It's disgusting. 161 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 5: I have a great day. Bye. 162 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm sensing there was some IM went to make sure 163 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: with claimy. I'm thinking you're being sarcastic there, you might 164 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: be serious. I don't expect this is going to be 165 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: tackled at all during the legislative session, given everything the 166 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: legislature needs to accomplish during this session. Probably okay if 167 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: they're not addressing this, but it is a conversation that 168 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: we need to be having in public. Added to the 169 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: list of the conversations that were not allowed doing that 170 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: thing with my fingers to have. Beyond that though, beyond 171 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: the gender identity gender dysphoria aspect, wherein there are some 172 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: discussions regarding that. Okay, let's you know, we do talk 173 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: about this, it's just not necessarily mainstream. A lot of times. 174 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: If you do bring it up, you're called all kinds 175 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: of isms and ists' names, right, but no one really 176 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: gets into the physical harm that one does to oneself 177 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: through this, and it's an important aspect in my opinion. 178 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: It's also analogous to the way the Left conducts itself currently. 179 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: You upend, you do damage to your body through these 180 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: gender reassignment surgeries, this process, these techniques. One, it's child 181 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: abuse if they do it to anybody under the age 182 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: of eighteen. Okay, that's my opinion on the matter. But 183 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to adults, you disrupt a delicate balance 184 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: of our bodies. I know way more about how the 185 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: human body works than I ever had any interest in knowing, 186 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: just because of my own physical issues that I've been 187 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: dealing with since I was thirty seven years old. You 188 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: learned very quickly, going through dozens upon dozens of doctor visits, 189 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: multiple hospital stays, my three open heart surgeries, my yearly checkups, 190 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: my echoes, my CT scans. Again, your body is in 191 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: delicate balance. And when people go and do this to themselves, 192 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: you're doing irreparable harm. And then you can get into 193 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: just the mental aspects of what drives an individual to 194 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: go and do that to themselves. You're ignoring the laws 195 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: of nature, for lack of a better way to describe, 196 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: but the way that God created you. But it's the 197 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: same thing when you have the left ignoring the laws 198 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: in general, it creates a very dangerous, unsustainable situation. So, yeah, 199 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: this is my way of sort of applying this to 200 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: what's been taking place here in Minnesota in the wake 201 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: of ICE and their immigration enforcement efforts, which will dominate 202 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: the majority of the conversation today. Once we get past 203 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: some of these headlines this morning. We'll get back to 204 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: more of your talkbacks here in just a moment on 205 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: Twin City's News Talk. Keeping with the theme, though, actor 206 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: Ted Levine apologized recently for his iconic turn as the 207 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: cross dressing serial killer Jamie Gumm in the nineteen ninety 208 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: one horror classic Silence of the Lambs also goes by 209 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill nickname, saying that it was blanking wrong that 210 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: the film had vilified the apparent gender confusion of his character, 211 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: completely unnecessary and ridiculous apology. Does every Caucasian, Asian, Black, etc. 212 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: You pick the identity character ever portrayed as a horrible person, 213 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: feel the need to go and do the same thing 214 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: TV and movies throughout generations. I mean, every single person 215 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: that is portrayed as a murderer like this individual was, 216 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: or a serial killer, had some identity attached to them. 217 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: But you don't have this need and desire to go 218 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: out and apologize to the community of which that particular character, 219 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: which was written and is fictional. Levine said that when 220 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: they were making the film based off the nineteen eighty 221 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: eight novel the same title, he had not been particularly concerned, 222 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: but that over time and having gotten aware and worked 223 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: with trans folks and understanding a bit more about the 224 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: culture and reality of the meaning of gender. It's unfortunate 225 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: that the film vilified them and is just blanking using 226 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the F word wrong. And you can quote me on that, 227 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: and again, I go back to what I said a 228 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: moment ago. Anybody with common sense understands this is just 229 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: a film, and every single person that has ever put 230 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: to film, TV, you know, big screen or little screen, 231 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: has some sort of background attached to them. But there 232 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: is no need to go and apologize, nor any calls 233 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: for the individuals to apologize to that particular community. Now, 234 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: he went on to say, I didn't play him being 235 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: gay or trans. I just think that he was a 236 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: blanked up heterosexual man. That's what I was doing, which 237 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: kind of makes the apology even more ridiculous. Director Jonathan 238 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Demi offered a similar take on Buffalo Bill's motivations, arguing 239 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: during a twenty fourteen interview that the character was drowning 240 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and self loathing and then turning himself into a woman 241 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: was a means of escape from who he was, rather 242 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: than an effort to become something he specifically wanted to be. Again, 243 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: this this is all so unnecessary now. Despite the confusion 244 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: surrounding Buffalo Bill, the Silence of the Lambs film became 245 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the third film in Academy history to sweep all five 246 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: major rewards Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, 247 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Best Screenplay. The other two films to do so were 248 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: It Happened One Night and Never Seen It in nineteen 249 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: thirty four and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nast nineteen 250 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: seventy five. This only became an issue when liberals went 251 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: and politically weaponized the issue by trying to go and 252 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: normalize it, taking advantage of the normalization by partisan normalization, 253 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: mind you, an acceptance of the homosexual community. And you 254 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: could point to so many different examples of this, especially 255 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: going back to the former president Barack Obama years where 256 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: in the country, on so many different issues, we had 257 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: arrived at a pretty decent place. You're never going to 258 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: find a perfect community, it just doesn't exist. People are 259 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: always going to sin, that happens, people are always going 260 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: to go and make mistakes. There will always be racism 261 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. But we reached a 262 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: place in this country where we were doing better than 263 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: we had in a long, long time. But unfortunately, for 264 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: far too many people on the left, that meant a 265 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: loss of influence, a loss of power, a loss of 266 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: being able to exploit these issues for political gain, a 267 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: loss of money. So the issue had to be expanded, 268 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: had to have other aspects to it that the left 269 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: could go and take advantage of. Arriving to where we 270 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: are now, and these stories coming up. The latest on 271 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: the Save America Act? So which course are the Republicans 272 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: going to take? Are they going to get this passed? 273 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: Will they nuke the filibuster? Will they go with a 274 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: talking filibuster. I'll give you the latest, including a step 275 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: in the right direction, as one holdout may have confirmed 276 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: a yes vote in the Senate's on the Save America Act. 277 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: We'll also get back to the latest regarding Ice and 278 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: the draw down of Operation Metro Surge and how Democrats 279 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: are desperate for them to stay. The people that are 280 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: most upset about Ice leaving, and this will be a 281 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: theme throughout the show this morning, are actually the Democrats. 282 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: They may never admitted up French and maybe on a 283 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: lot of levels only subconsciously do they even acknowledge this, 284 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is Democrats are really 285 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: really sad that Ice is leaving. I'm going to explain why. 286 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: We'll get to your thoughts as well from the iHeartRadio app. 287 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: It's all coming up on Twin City's News Talk Am 288 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 289 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 6: On the topic of the surgeries, whether it's for the 290 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 6: transgender whatever. You've had surgeries, I've had some two, and 291 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 6: you know, every time that you are put under anesthesia, 292 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 6: your body has to recover the pain that you endure 293 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: as the body is healing. I can only I mean, 294 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 6: it's not a surprise that the people that do this 295 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 6: to themselves are having such a mental struggle. 296 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: Then, as I mentioned in the last segment, it's a part. 297 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: It's never going to be a part of the conversation. 298 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: I wish that it was. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope 299 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: that I'm proven wrong. But as somebody just like the 300 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: talkbacker and thank you so much for that Judy that 301 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: has experience in this, I see what people go and 302 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: do to themselves and it's sad on almost every single level. 303 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: The motivation as to why they decide they are going 304 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: to go and do this to themselves, the harm that 305 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: they are putting their bodies under, the fact that the 306 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: doctors actually go and endorse this, It just it makes 307 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: no it makes absolutely no rational sense to me. And 308 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: again we're talking about this transgender identifying man that opened 309 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: fire at a Rhode Island hockey game, killing two and 310 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: critically wounding at least a three. 311 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 7: John and Justice Fell here you know where I'm from, 312 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 7: May and missing a target. Again on this mass shooting, 313 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 7: you're talking about transgender people killing people. Need to talk 314 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 7: about this. The vast amount of mass shooters in the 315 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 7: country are young white males. Even if I give you 316 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 7: your point, those transgender mass shooters just to be young 317 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 7: white males. So I'll talk about the problem in America 318 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 7: young white males with guns. 319 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to do that, because that's not 320 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: what's that issue with this particular story. First off, this 321 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: guy's not young. He's fifty six years old. When we're 322 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: getting to the motivation and what happens to individuals and 323 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 1: then the mental state of individuals, the color of their 324 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: skin means a lot less than all the other mitigating factors. 325 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: But thank you so much, as always for listening, Fell, 326 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. 327 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 8: Regarding the allegedly trans shooter, I'm sensing it, even the 328 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 8: cognitive dissonance of the horn toom it brings to mind 329 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 8: the outrage over photo ID to vote, despite the fact 330 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 8: that you need photo ID for every other aspect of 331 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 8: your life. Similarly, when you're a child, you can't vote, 332 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 8: you can't drive, smoke by booth, but you can surgically 333 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 8: alter your body forever. Pick a lane, progressives, pick a lane. 334 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: Oh, look at the laws relating to those under the 335 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: age of eighteen when it comes to ears pierced, tanning salons, 336 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: and tattoos. You reconcile the restrictions still on the books 337 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: of those who are under eighteen for those three body 338 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: changing procedures, for lack of a better way to describe 339 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: than right, earspears, you know, and tanning booth air getting darker, 340 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: and tattoos. And there's in a lot of cases there's 341 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: more restrictions and inability for those under the age of 342 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: eighteen to do those three things than there is or 343 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: there was when it comes to someone under the age 344 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: of eighteen that wants to go and physically attempt to 345 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: go and reverse their God given biological gender. 346 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 9: Hey, John, it's Matt. Is anybody else amazed at how 347 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 9: as soon as our local government and law enforcement began 348 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 9: cooperating with ICE, they were able to do their job 349 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 9: in an expedient fashion. And now they're getting ready to leave. 350 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Although if you listen to the left, they're not leaving. 351 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: Because the left is very sad that ICE is leaving, 352 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: more so than I think even conservatives are. My assumption 353 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: is ICE is wrapping up their job. We'll get into 354 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: more details of this, but there are numerous videos, commentary, 355 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: news stories. Oh, I don't know if they're leaving. I 356 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna go away. Oh, and if 357 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: they do go away, the damage there's gonna be feeling 358 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: this forever. We need bailouts for all these different companies 359 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: that decided to go and close their doors and go 360 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: on strike. Now, they're very, very sad because it has 361 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: given those on the left meaning and purpose in their lives. 362 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: They're the ones that are most upset that ICE is leaving. 363 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: And to combine these two different issues with what Tom 364 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: mentioned and what Matt mentioned, and I'm not the first 365 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: person to highlight this point, but isn't it fascinating that 366 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: we have a fight over the Save America Act right now? 367 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: Shoring up election integrity and forcing individuals to provide proof 368 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: of citizenship and IDs to go and vote. This is 369 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: being actively pushed back against, vilified and demonized by the left. 370 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: But this is the same group of individuals that are 371 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: out there right now demanding that ICE agents take off 372 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: their masks, dosing ICE agents, demanding them show their I 373 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: that they show their IDs to every buddy. Yeah, representatively 374 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: thinky to bring all of these issues together, He's proposing 375 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: the bill to d mask ICE agents so that people 376 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: can see who they are. They need to be identified. Oh, 377 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: but not when we go and do elections. Everybody can't 378 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: do that because we need to be able to benefit 379 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: from those who wish to go and vote illegally. Yeah, 380 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: first appearance of this week on the show. But make 381 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: it make sense? Yes, number one, first time I mentioned it. 382 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: We'll see how many times I do that between now 383 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: and Friday. Speaking of the same America Act, Senate majority 384 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: of Leader John Thune does plan to hold the Senate vote. 385 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: Despite the bill's support from fifty Senate Republicans, its passage 386 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: is unlikely, according to a Fox News summary, due to 387 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: the sixty vote filibuster threshold, strong opposition from Senate Minority 388 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: Leader and socket wrench Chuck Schumer, who used it as 389 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: voter suppression so soon is considering the talking filibuster as 390 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: a potential strategy. So we'll get into this in just 391 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: a moment. We did get a boost over the weekend, 392 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: though Senate Republicans gained a key ally to enshrine voter 393 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: ID into law. A trio of lawmakers led by Senator 394 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: Mike Lee have undertaken a campaign to convince their colleagues, 395 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: and it's just sad that we have to convince anybody 396 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: on the right of doing this to support the Safeguarding 397 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: American voter eligibility Save America Act. The campaign has proven successful, 398 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: with the cohort gaining a crucial vote from Senator Susan Collins, 399 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: who announced that she would back the Save America Act. Now, 400 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: with Collins, Senate Republicans have at least a slim majority 401 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: backing the act. Now, her decision gives Lee and Senate 402 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Republicans the votes needed to clear a key procedural hurdle 403 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: in the Senate. That tie breaking scenario would only go 404 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: and prevent itself if Republicans turned to the standing or 405 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: talking filibuster. So Vice President JD. Van said over the weekend, 406 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: we now have enough votes to pass emotion to proceed 407 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: to the House passed bill, even without any additional votes. Okay, 408 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: so that's the tie breaking scenario bringing this to vote. Now. 409 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: The talking filibuster standing or talking filibuster, a move that 410 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Lee has been pushing his colleagues to make, and one 411 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: that would require actual physical debate over the bill. I'll 412 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: get to this in just a moment. It's the precursor 413 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: to the current version of the filibuster, where the only 414 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: hill lawmakers have to climbs acquiring the sixty votes. Lee 415 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: and other conservatives believe that if they turn to the 416 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: standing filibuster rather than the zombie filibuster, they can barrel 417 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: through democratic resistance. Some fear turning to that tool could 418 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: paralyze the Senate floor for weeks or even months, depending 419 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: on the Senate Democrats resolve and Colin's support is not 420 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: enough to smash through the sixty vote Senate filibuster. I 421 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: don't care if this paralyzes the Senate floor for weeks 422 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: or even months, because whatever we work on passing, if 423 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: we don't pass the Save America Act, in a lot 424 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: of ways, doesn't really matter. We have the opportunity, we 425 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: need to take advantage of it. Okay, so what is 426 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: this talking or standing filibuster? Years ago, lawmakers seeking to 427 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: delay legislation you had to physically hold the floor. Sometimes 428 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: they would read from cookbooks or newspapers. But in more 429 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: recent times filibusters have largely become procedural, with even the 430 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: threat of one enough to slow passage. Senator Roger Wicker 431 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: told The Washington Times. It works great in movies, the 432 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine film Mister Smith Goes to Washington, in 433 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: which the senator speaks for twenty three hours to protest corruption. Now, 434 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: in practice, the maneuver could still bog down the chamber 435 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: because then it rules and precedents allow extended debate and 436 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: a flood of procedural motions and amendments, even if the 437 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: leaders try to box in the process. As mentioned, the 438 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: Majority leader John Thune said, when asked about passing the bill, 439 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: he says the idea is something, although it continues to 440 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: be put out, there is something that doesn't have a future. 441 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: Thon added, is there another way of getting there? We'll see. 442 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: He said, I am not a big fan of Thoon 443 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: by any stretch. By the way, in all of this, 444 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: he's coming off as incredibly weak on this issue. Senator 445 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: Mike Lee, the bills lead sponsor, urged the colleagues to 446 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: force Democrats to physically hold the floor, arguing the modern 447 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: filibuster let senator's block legislation with far less effort. Once 448 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: cloture becomes the central test. Lee posted on X enforcing 449 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: the talking filibuster is not eliminating the filibuster, is just 450 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: enforcing the Senate rules and making Democrats opposed to the 451 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: Save America Act actually speak if they want to filibuster. 452 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: If we don't do this now, we might as well 453 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: prepare to lose. 454 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 5: Now. 455 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: We do have several conservatives, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, 456 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: Ron Moore House of Wisconsin, and Rick Scott of Florida, 457 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: who have expressed support. Others have worn the tactic could 458 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: barn against a scarce floor time that Fune has said 459 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: he wants for priorities such as housing permitting, market structure, 460 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: aim the farm bill, and the Highway bill. And again, 461 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: none of that matters if we don't get election integrity 462 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: in the past. Now, if you want an example of 463 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: what a talking filibuster sounds, like. Probably one of the 464 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: best somewhat modern examples of this comes from the comedy 465 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: series Parks and rec where actor Patton Oswald tries to 466 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: go and hold philibuster during upon the city council meeting. 467 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 10: Article seven, Section three allows for a citizen filibuster. If 468 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 10: I stand here and refuse to yield my time, you 469 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 10: are prohibited from voting on the bill. 470 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: Let the filibuster ring begin. 471 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 10: As many of you have noted that use the Internet, 472 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 10: it has been announced that Disney has required the rights 473 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 10: to the Star Wars franchise, and in the summer of 474 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 10: twenty fifteen we will see the release of Star Wars 475 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 10: at episode seven. Here with is my proposal for the 476 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 10: plot of that movie. Begin with standard title sequence and 477 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 10: John Williams fanfare, followed by a scroll to be written. 478 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 10: I would like to mention that Brian DePalma wrote the 479 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 10: original opening scroll for Star Wars episode for a New Hope. 480 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 10: I think it would be a nice nod to the 481 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 10: franchise if he were to write this opening scroll then 482 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 10: panned down from the Twin Sons of Tattooine, we are 483 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 10: now close on the mouth of the Starlac Pit. After 484 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 10: a beat, the gloved Mandalorian armor gauntlet of Boba Fet 485 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 10: grabs onto the sand outside the Starlac pit, and the 486 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 10: feared bounty hunter pulls himself from the maw of the 487 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 10: sand beasts. 488 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: What's really funny about that, too, is that that's actually 489 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: what the opening of the Book of Boba Fet live 490 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: action Disney series started with. 491 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: He took notes. 492 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: It was an exact scene. Side note. The Mandalorian and 493 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: grogu full trailer drops today. I desperately want to be 494 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: excited for this movie. So far, Disney has not done 495 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: a good job of getting me excited for this movie. 496 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: I am much more looking forward to Project Hail Mary, 497 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: but that could change today with this trailer. 498 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: I'm I'm very behind. I think I saw a book 499 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 2: at Boba Fett. That's the last one I saw, which 500 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: was Mandalorian like season two and a half or three 501 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: nights pretty much. 502 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Disney did listen. I love my Star Wars, 503 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: but Disney did Boba Fet dirty because they took the 504 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: Mandalorian and turned him into what Boba Fett should have been, 505 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: and then they had to go and make Boba Fet 506 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: something akin to the Godfather on tattooed and it just 507 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: didn't work. All right, So there you go. Not too 508 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: digress too far, but it is technically Monday. On the 509 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: Democrat side, related to the Save America Act, Senator Brian 510 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Shatz of Hawaii argued that forcing around the clock floor 511 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: fight would still amount to weakening the filibuster. In practice, 512 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: we tried the exact same thing, but nobody mistook that 513 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: for maintaining the filibuster. That is going nuclear. Okay, fine, 514 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: but the reality is, if Democrats were to go and 515 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: take control in the midterms, even if we didn't go 516 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: and nuke the filibuster, you don't think for a second 517 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't go and deploy the talking filibuster to 518 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: go pass whatever they want to pass or try to 519 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: impeach President Donald Trum. Of course they would nuke it, 520 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: talk it to death. I don't care. Just get the 521 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: Save America Act passed. We didn't give power to Trump 522 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: and the Republicans for them not to go and use it. 523 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: So use it. So we'll see how this shakes out. 524 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for the comments from the iHeart a radio Apple. 525 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: Get back to those. Actually, let's go ahead and go 526 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: here now. 527 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 5: Good morning, John. The thing about the talking filibuster. I 528 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 5: think we really do need it because most of the 529 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 5: members of the Senate are sold in decrepit. Think couldn't 530 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 5: actually do a filibuster for twenty three minutes, much the 531 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 5: less twenty three hours. This would be a way to 532 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 5: force some younger people, and this would be a way 533 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 5: to force the filibuster to actually be an effort, so 534 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 5: people would think about do you really want to do it? 535 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: You know what I would love to see. I'd love 536 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: to see this whole thing come full circle and the 537 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: Republicans deploy the talking filibuster and then somebody actually to 538 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: go and use the Patton Oswald Parks and rec filibusters 539 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: speech in Congress to go ahead and do the talking filibuster. 540 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: That would be you know, I'm sorry, you're fascinating to 541 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: talk to. I know, speaking of Democrats. Very sad that 542 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: ICE is leaving from Channel five. We'll believe it when 543 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 1: we see it. Minnesota city leaders reacting as one thousand 544 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: ICE agents are removed from the state. You've got these 545 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: lunatics parked over at the Whipple Federal Building and they've 546 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: been posting footage of these transport vehicles bringing in these 547 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: SUVs over and over again. I have no I don't 548 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: know what is happening right now. I know that we've 549 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: drawn down some of the agents, but also we had 550 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: an increase of agents because of all the insurrectionist to 551 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: agitators on the streets. I don't think it was ever 552 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: intended to have three thousand ICE agents here. I think 553 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: we added an extra thousand because of the sanctuary policies, 554 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: which has not been getting a lot of commentary, and 555 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: it should. A lot of those sanctuary policies have been 556 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: shoved off to the side by Democrat leadership. You have 557 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: further protests taking place of the left against Governor Tim 558 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: Walls over the weekend that the woke farmer, mentally deranged, bearded, 559 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: bad teeth lunatic that was yelling at all the children 560 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: inside of the city's church during the protest and got 561 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: arrested for it. Hey, he was out posting videos this 562 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: weekend just mouthing off about Walls. Not that I don't 563 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: mind him doing that. I like it when they go 564 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: and they eat their own. But I just wonder if 565 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: these one thousand ICE agents leaving are leaving because you 566 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: now have a bit of cooperation between local and federal 567 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: law enforcement. Agencies, something that Walls and Man Babe may 568 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: Or Mom Jean's Jacob Fry don't really want to talk 569 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: about much publicly. They'd rather go and focus on millions 570 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: of dollars in bailouts to all these companies and businesses 571 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: that decided to go and take part in the protests 572 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: that hurt their own bottom line. From Channel five, a 573 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: coalition of city leaders across Minnesota speaking out as federal 574 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: agents begin scaling back. The group, Cities for Safe and 575 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: Stable Communities, formed about ten weeks ago in response to 576 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: a federal immigration search. Me stop here, really quick. Are 577 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: we really giving credit to a group that was formed 578 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: mere months ago? Oh? This group that's been around for 579 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: ten weeks? Okay, for what it's worth, they said, I 580 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: think things are going in the right direction, and I 581 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: have faith things will continue that way. That's according to 582 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: Borders are on face the nation. Federal officials said the 583 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: ICE draw down is already underway, a thousand agents being removed. Still, again, 584 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: some local leaders are skeptical. We'll believe it when we 585 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: see it, said the Hopkins mayor Patrick Hanlon. Mayors from 586 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: seventeen cities currently make up a coalition representing communities across 587 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: the political spectrum. Leaders said that they're responding to what 588 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: they described as long term impacts of immigration operation. They 589 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: want this to be like COVID, never let a manufactured 590 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: crisis go to waste. Hanlon said, we have two businesses 591 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: that I know that shut down, and then I have 592 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: construction folks that have reached out and talked about their 593 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: workers having left the state in fear. Well, construction people 594 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: are hiring illegal aliens, that's on them. And to the 595 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: businesses that went and shut down, I would like to 596 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: see what circumstances that actually took place, and if they 597 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: were also hiring illegal immigrants, that's on them. The truth 598 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: of the matter is Democrats are disappointed. They'll never admit it. 599 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: Many probably don't even realize. Again, it's subconscious, but they 600 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: actually enjoy fighting ice. The resistance treats this like it's 601 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: a sport. It's entertainment to them. They don't care about 602 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: helping anybody the projected fight to protect immigrants or their neighbors. 603 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: It's just an excuse. For example, if the left wanted, 604 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: they could vilify US marshals for carrying out warrants for 605 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: arrest of legal citizens who have committed crimes. All they 606 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 1: would have to do is create a crisis just like this, 607 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: begin to demonize us. Marshals talk about how they're an 608 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 1: authoritarian regime. Governor Governor Tim Walls to call us Marshall's 609 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: the Gestapo, and you can see similar protests taking place. 610 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: It's the cause that matters. The reasons are just excuses 611 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: relating to the revolution. Democrats are morepset about ICEO leaving. 612 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: The Conservatives are for crying out loud coming up. The 613 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: Walls administration claims fraud in Minnesota is not uniquely bad. 614 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: We'll get caught up on a couple of fraud stories 615 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to dive into on a 616 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: Friday show. Some ninety percent of past claims submitted to 617 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Autism program maybe fraudulent. And we'll also talk 618 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: with Representative Walter Hudson. He'll be joining us at seven 619 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: thirty to give us a preview of the legislative session 620 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: and a bill that he will be proposing as well. 621 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: He'll have details on that. We'll get back to more 622 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. It's all coming 623 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: up on Twinsday's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one 624 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: oh three five FM. What's called the Trump derangement problem. 625 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: Have you heard about that problem?
