I think this 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: would be game number two, correct, Grand Rapids of the day, 26 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: Grand Rapids and rose Mount. 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: Is that correct? That's correct? 28 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: And it's a Donnybrook. It's it's Hammer and Tom tied 29 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: at one. I think rose Mount was up earlier, so 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: I think Rand Rapids must have come back to tie it. 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: It's one to one with about five minutes to go 32 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: in pariad number two correct and top seed Minnetaka dominated 33 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: the first game of the day. 34 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: Is that correct? 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 3: Yeah? 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: Against Gentry against exactly. I am I the only one 37 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: still not used to the concept as it will play 38 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: out through quarterfinal rounds, round, I should say semi final round, 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: championship round, especially on the double A side who still 40 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: is not used to lou Nanny not being part of 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: the tournament. This is I think the second year without 42 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: louis right. I think twenty twenty four was his last 43 00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: year after sixty years of broadcasting, offering an alleys pithy 44 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: analysis on the state high school hockey tournament. I can't. 45 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: I thought the longer you know this went, the more 46 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: accustomed I would get to it. 47 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: I think it's the opposite. 48 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: Should we start a Draft Louis movement? 49 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: Do you think we could get anywhere with him? Probably not. 50 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I know they are still going to play the games, 51 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: and they are I know teams that win will be 52 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: will celebrate regardless of Luigi not being a part of it. 53 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel right to me. I still feel like. 54 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: Something fundamentally important, a certain sort of comfort food, has 55 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: been lost forever. What about the idea of convincing him 56 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: to come back like every third year, because that would 57 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: mean you could get him again next year. This is 58 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the second straight year he's missed. I don't think you're 59 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: going to get him. I don't think a Draft Louis 60 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: movement is going to work on a Thursday, right, because 61 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: he's not going to get back here soon enough to matter. 62 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: But what if we start a Draft Louis movement to 63 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: convince him, all right, once every three years Luigi's back? 64 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 2: Any shot, any shot might be the only one. By 65 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: the way, do you feel it at all? I feel it. 66 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: I mean, I just haven't been around long. I've lived 67 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: here seven years, so I haven't been around. It's good 68 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: forty to fifty plus how long you end up doing it. 69 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: You're now sixty sixty years, so I just don't have that. 70 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: But what I will say, I think your better option 71 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: is doing you know, you see like PTI where one 72 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: of them's in Chicago and one of them's in la 73 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 4: All just have him do it remotely. I think that's 74 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: your best shot. You might get him to fly up 75 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: here in the late winter. 76 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you must be right. That might be the best shot. 77 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: Just just try to, you know, get him in some 78 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: kind of a studio or pretends studio wherever he is. 79 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: Hell, have the palm trees in the background for all 80 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: I care. Yeah, I don't think anybody will. 81 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: I think it would take away from it a little, 82 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: to be honest, But maybe it's the old that's the 83 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: most that you can. 84 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: You can hope for. 85 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: Brat Sewan Brian Kafan text line six four six eighty six. 86 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Let me know if you miss Louis. And it sounds 87 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: weird to say it because we have him one every week. 88 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: I get that, but. 89 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: It's I don't know, I can't. 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: It just still feels like something important is just not 91 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: there anymore. 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: It's just not a part of the festivities. 93 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: And I think it speaks to the obvious that he 94 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: made it his own, that he became synonymous with the tournament, right, Nick, 95 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: We'll all agree to that. But anytime, like I brought 96 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: it up with him. I mean, I think he appreciates 97 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: everybody saying they miss him and all that. But I 98 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: think I give at the feeling that the ship probably 99 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: has sailed. But uh, just I get a little wistful 100 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: thinking about it. 101 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: Now. 102 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I didn't when we had him on Tuesday. I didn't 103 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: even bring it up. Last year. I'm pretty sure I 104 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: brought it up because it was gonna be his first 105 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: year not being in the tournament. 106 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: But I didn't even bring it up this year. 107 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: I think in Parker said, well, I don't want to 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: turn this into a Wagnerian opera. But now I'm sorry 109 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: I didn't because I think it's ignoring. I think it's 110 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: pretty hard to ignore the elephant in the room. But 111 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm not here to make him feel bad. I mean, 112 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: sixty years of service is a good run, right, great run, 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's odd how it seems to me 114 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: that it's affecting me more this weekend. Well, we're closing 115 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: in on the weekend that it did last weekend. Now 116 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: the texts that are coming in, just let him retire. 117 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: Louis is a huge loss, but let's leave him in 118 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: retirement peace, says Mike in. 119 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: Fergus Falls. I'm shocked none of those texts ending Damn. 120 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: I totally agree. 121 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: It still feels as if something's been lost and the 122 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: feeling is not waning. I better still, hear Zach Halverson 123 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: from the Al Shaver press box sound bites in JG's absence, 124 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: that's on you. We're gonna have to mix those in 125 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: today and tomorrow. There's no question about that. 126 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: Here it is. It didn't take long for it to 127 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: come in. 128 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: He was never objective and would always side with the 129 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Metro team or Lake Conference team. Wow, we did hear 130 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: that allegation. He's familiar with it. We've talked about it 131 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: with him before. I never since that, to be honest, 132 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: some people did. I think it's the old what you 133 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: you It's maybe what you pay attention to, or what 134 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: you you hear, what sometimes you hear, what you want 135 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: to hear. 136 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: If you believe in conspiracy theories. 137 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, let me add this is not 138 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form a shot or an 139 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: indictment on the analysts now being used. It seriously isn't 140 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that. The analysis is fine. 141 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: I just it's. 142 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: I mean, how do you, I just how do you compete? 143 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: But you could make the argument, as compeople said, Look, man, 144 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: let him live his life. It's not like he's going 145 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: to forget about the tournament. It's not like he's gonna 146 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: forget about hockey, which is all true. I really just 147 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: mean it as a compliment to him and his uh influence. 148 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: How I really mean this, and this is rare. I 149 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: I don't think of There's been a lot of unbelievably 150 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: great players at the high school level, many of them 151 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: going on beyond as well, that are synonymous with the 152 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: Minnesota State High School Tournament. 153 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: I think. 154 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: He's the guy think of more than any player, which 155 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: again I think is also very much a compliment to what. 156 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: What he's doing. 157 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: It's not all about you, Dan, there's your Dan. You 158 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: were looking for, Well, I don't I'm asking That's. 159 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: What I'm saying. 160 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: It's really it's not about me. It's about Louis. I 161 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: can't help what I feel. The job of a talk 162 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: show host at leads between three and six thirty is to, 163 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: for better or for worse, offer up opinion, sometimes snarky, 164 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, meant as as I said in this 165 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: case as a compliment, but you got it, sort of 166 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: get you gotta do it. I had to get it 167 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: off my chest because I did look back on Tuesday 168 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: and feel like, man, I should have brought up the tournament, 169 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: But I admit at the time it's like, well, I 170 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: don't wanna. I don't want him to think I'm trying 171 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: to make him look bad or feel guilty. 172 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: Although I just. 173 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: Shouldn't worry about that because Louis doesn't feel guilty. I mean, 174 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Louis louis his own man. So what any of us say, 175 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: it's not gonna matter. I think he liked the fact 176 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: that he's still missed to a large degree and always 177 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: will be missed. Keep the texts coming. Time to start 178 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: a new tradition. Next man up? How about Oshi, your 179 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: guy tj Oshi. Maybe I don't know. I guess it's 180 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: a possibility. I'll take Louis's favoritism a step further and 181 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: say he always favorite in Dinah and as an a 182 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: Dina fan, I freaking loved it. Huh, Like you've always said, Dan, 183 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: get over it. 184 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: I'm not over it. I'm not gonna lie to you. 185 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm not over it. 186 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: The second period is in the books and I think 187 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: it remains one to one in the second quarterfinal in 188 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the double A category, the second quarterfinal of the day. 189 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: Correct.

He was 239 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: recruited out of I believe it was South Carolina by Lou. 240 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: And of course the new news breaking was it yesterday 241 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: that Lou had passed away.

Kudos to Garzi as well 247 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: for getting that all set up. In addition, by the way, 248 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: folks have been clamoring for a while for the return 249 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: of Robert Smith to the program, and he's going to 250 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: join tomorrow at three point thirty, we'll catch up with Robert. 251 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Robert got himself in trouble apparently by seemingly endorsing Kyler 252 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: Murray as the Vikings next quarterback yet and it was 253 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: like he got destroyed. So find out is he really 254 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: that interested in Kyler being the guy? Was he just 255 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, mention that Kyler's now available, whatever? 256 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: And who knows what else. 257 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: We got caught up with Robert tomorrow at three point 258 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: thirty or so. 259 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: Yesterday I was out, And yesterday. 260 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: Was the sixty year anniversary of a fairly momentous moment 261 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: for those of us old enough to have lived through it. 262 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: But you might, even if you did not live through it, 263 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: might have some awareness of it. And I'm trying to 264 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: see figure out how, if we projected what took place 265 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: sixty years ago yesterday, how it would be processed today. 266 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: Would it be a y honor would it be even 267 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: more significant. I'm trying to get a kind of a 268 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: good handle on exactly that we're talking about. The March four, 269 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six comment, well, I guess I should back 270 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: up and say it was part of an interview that 271 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: appeared in something called The London Evening Standard, and the story, 272 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: the feature story that this particular comment was published in, 273 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: was called The headline was how does a Beatle live? 274 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: As in John, Paul, George and Ringo those Beatles. And 275 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: it was in that story that John Lennon made his 276 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: infamous we're more popular than Jesus' comment, I don't know 277 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: again if the kids could understand. Well, let me back 278 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: up a little bit. In the UK, as Paul McCartney 279 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: later said, in the UK, there was no big controversy 280 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: about it. There was not much of a pushback or 281 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: reaction at all at all. 282 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: Here. It was Defcon one. All hell. 283 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: Broke loose here, including obviously the well in some there 284 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: were DJs, especially I think in the South, that hosted 285 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: or or headlined or I guess you could say inspired 286 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: burn your beatles records, bonfires astonishing to think about. 287 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: Now now I'm gonna We're gonna play. 288 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: Eventually the most famous John Lennon comment. After the fact, 289 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: one could say, uh much much later in in. 290 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: This as I said sixty years ago. 291 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Yes, esterday was the day the story appeared in that 292 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: London newspaper, and then it was August eleven of nineteen 293 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: sixty six. Lenin must have been asked about it again. 294 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: This was during a presser back in Chicago, one of 295 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: the Beatles Chicago in North American tours. So this this 296 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: was at a press conference at a hotel in Chicago, 297 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm presuming before they performed, likely at Comiski Park, which 298 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: has also been kind of a sore spot of mind 299 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: for reasons I've gone into before. But let's listen to 300 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: what John Lennon had to say, because it was very 301 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: clear by that point that Lenin was trying to put 302 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: out this fairly prodigious fire. 303 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 6: Originally, I was pointed out that fact in reference to England, 304 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 6: that we meant more to kids than Jesus did or religion. 305 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 6: At that time, I was knocking it or putting it down. 306 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 6: I was just saying it for the fact. You know, 307 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 6: I'm not saying that we're better or great while comparing 308 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 6: us with Jesus Christ as a person, oh God as 309 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 6: a thing, or whatever it is. You know, I just 310 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 6: said what I said, and it was wrong or was 311 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 6: Satan wrong and now it's. 312 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: All this there it is. It was. 313 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: You could sense in his voice, because John Lennon obviously 314 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: could be very combative, hardly interested in being politically correct. 315 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: But I remember that sound bite and I said, well, 316 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: and I hadn't heard it in a while, but I 317 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: certainly heard it before. And it's like, well, that sounded 318 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: very much like a guy trying to put out a 319 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: considerable fire. Here's my question, Brashan Bride canfe in text 320 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: line six four six eighty six. Would this be even 321 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: a ripple today? Would it be yond at in the 322 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven social media cycle, would have actually 323 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: caused even more controversy. I'm curious to get people's views 324 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: on it, and because again if you go back to 325 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: what he said, there was not much. I mean, it wasn't. 326 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: It was taken by the people who wanted to take 327 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: it as a musician, a goofy mop top musician guy 328 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: is saying he's better than Jesus or they're better than Jesus, 329 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: which is really not what he said. It wasn't even 330 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: close to what he said, but it was extrapolated out 331 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: that way for people who wanted it. So I think 332 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: to sort of grab onto, And you could say he 333 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: could have been more artful about how he explained in 334 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: the story what he was trying to explain, one could say, 335 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: But in all honesty, it was in many circles it 336 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: was like, I'm done, I'm done with them, I'm done 337 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: with the Beatles, I'm not going to ever have anything 338 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: to do with them again, et cetera, et cetera. 339 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: So what would happen today? Would it be no big 340 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: deal at all? 341 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Because I tend to think there'd be people criticizing it, 342 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 1: but I don't think it would have been as large 343 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: as it was. And it's hard to imagine explain because 344 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: there was no Twitter then I looked it up. X 345 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: didn't exist, there was no Facebook, there was no Instact. 346 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: But there was a massive response and blowback in this 347 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: country that is again hard to capture. 348 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: And to me, what made it all the bigger was all. 349 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: Those mechanisms didn't exist, and yet there was debate and 350 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: discussion and I'm boycotting. 351 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: I'm never going to a Beatles count Well, not. 352 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: That you had that many chances to go to Beatles concert, 353 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: they didn't tour that long, but I'm not going to 354 00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: buy any albums anymore. It became absolutely massive at the time, 355 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: and then in other circles it was, come on, everybody 356 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: kind of knew what he meant. He could have, maybe, 357 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: as I said, been a little bit more artful. What 358 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: level doctor Phil wants to know? What level of sir wanga? 359 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: Would you qualify that? It's a good question. It's a 360 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: sir wanga. Now, you could say within his comments he 361 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: was almost almost dismissing some of the blowback, but then 362 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: he also did say I was wrong, And I think 363 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: my guess is he probably was under some pressure. It's like, well, 364 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: there's a business, there's a business part of this thing. 365 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: Let's just try to put it to bed. And I 366 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: don't know if it did. I think it kind of did. 367 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: That was the comment was obviously in March, and then 368 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: that statement was at a press conference of August in 369 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: August of the same year, so you do the math 370 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: on that several months later. That's and I think that was, 371 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: at least at that point the most specific he got on. 372 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: The subject. 373 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: Dan people today would not care, John explained himself. 374 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: Perfectly. 375 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: On the other hand, Nate writes, it would be bigger 376 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: today by definition, exactly half the pap population would have 377 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: a meltdown. That's a that's an interesting point. If we're 378 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: as polarized as we say we are in pretty much everything, 379 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: then maybe that would have been Maybe that's what it 380 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: would have been, A fifty to fifty kind of a thing. 381 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: I I don't know lenin common. Today's where the extreme 382 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: right would call him out, the extreme left would celebrate him, 383 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: the middle would hopefully know. 384 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: What he meant. 385 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: Hold on, texts are coming in kind of fast and 386 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: not even care, which might well be true. There might 387 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: be something to that as well. This let's stand on schedule. 388 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: We'll make this the bottom of the hour break. I 389 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: want to get to a couple more texts on this. 390 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: There is breaking a section news worthy of consideration, a 391 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: firing in the Trump administration that's getting some significant attention. 392 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll get to more of your texts. 393 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of juicy controversies I want to 394 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: get into that are indeed toy department related. Maybe the 395 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: very latest on the Vikings quarterback saga. But as I said, 396 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: a really really good guest lineup that we'll start with 397 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: RUSSO Radio in just about thirty minutes or so stay tuned. 398 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 2: Ever miss a. 399 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 4: Chance to know what you're you know what the latest 400 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 4: sportsms is in town.

Looks like Grand Rapids and 407 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: rose Mount are still nototted at one apiece. That's four 408 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: rose Mount versus five Grand Rapids. How about thanks to 409 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: James Hardy, the number one brand is sighting in North America. 410 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: We get a live listen in from the arena formerly 411 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: known as the x Halvey on the call. 412 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: Let's listen with. 413 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 3: Thunderhawks Wills take over. Here's dual at the red line 414 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 3: for Grand Rapids. We'll lightly play it into the rose 415 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 3: Mount end where the Irish come back to pick it up. 416 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: Nwski for rose Mount, Avery Hanowski from right to left 417 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: fires a shot why to the Grand Rapids goal centering 418 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: attempt knocked free by Grand Rapids finding some open ice 419 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: there with a good stick habling move with Salisbury we'll 420 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: work at the Clayton who goes to his left and 421 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: the zone. It's Garski four Grand Rapids. Nate Varski had 422 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 3: a stick lifted puck is pushed away from his possession 423 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 3: and Jack Lonkey will take over for rose Mount Gatherison 424 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: steed behind his net. Redson his way through the Thunderhawks defense, 425 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 3: gets it back in the corner. Blonkey looking for options, 426 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 3: still with it, goes to the blue line. Shot from 427 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: the blue line blocked. Another pass across broken up by 428 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 3: Grand Rapids. Now soccer to the neutral zone and up 429 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: the ice comes Seth Carlson. Carlson shot save mate there, 430 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 3: Carlson keeping with the rebound. Here Carlson another try, beautiful 431 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: rebomb and it's swadded. 432 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: Away by McNeil. 433 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: Carlson again with the shot, third time not the charm 434 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 3: for the thunder Hawk. 435 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 2: Big collision in. 436 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 3: The corner gets the crowd going here, but just enter 437 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: tend to go. In the third period, Seth Carlson the 438 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 3: leading point score for the Grand Rapids Thunderhawks, showing off 439 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 3: wine in the last two shifts behind the Grand Rapids goal. 440 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: As entertaining as this game has been, Danny not a 441 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 3: lot to cheer for for either spot, and that was 442 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 3: certainly something another opportunity for rose Mount this time and 443 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: adjusting and making the stop. Luke Sherlock keeps the tide 444 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: at one to. 445 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: Go make some decent action there. 446 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on on that game tied 447 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: between Grand Rapids and rose Mount now less than ten 448 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: minutes to play in. 449 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: The third period. 450 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: Don't forget Russo coming up to talk wild Steam at 451 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: four o'clock. 452 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: Uh, this comes from looks like. 453 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: Well, let me save it because it's it's it's introducing 454 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: another another subject, so let me let me try to 455 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: show some measure of dis plun in today's environment. Influencer 456 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: John Lennon would have one hundred percent gone viral for 457 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: his comments on Joe Rogan's podcast ending the Woke Mind 458 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: Virus or what was what he said? Two woke damn 459 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: it never mind full songa for me on this bit 460 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: that's from flim Flam. It's funny Dan you bring up 461 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: the quote from lenin. My significant other grew up in 462 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: England and as routinely said that the Americans that go 463 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: to church are very different parentheses more moniacal than people 464 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: in England. More snooty and act superior. Not surprised about 465 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: the overreaction by Americans. Unfortunately, he writes a three two 466 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: oh guy, it would cause more controversy in one circumstance, 467 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: some artist or athlete left his center, says it, and unfortunately, 468 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: our president of the MAGA WARLD would blow it up. 469 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: Look at the controversy the MAGA world created over the 470 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: super Bowl halftime. If a right he said it, I 471 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: honestly think it could be dismissed unless it came from 472 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 1: a politician. But any high profile left he says it, 473 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: and MAGA will blow it up. An artist writes Alan 474 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: and Afton, putting themselves into comparison with Jesus today would 475 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: immediately become a political issue. If they were from outside 476 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: the US, ICE would be rhyming up and deporting them. 477 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: I think it would be bigger today. Remember this is 478 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: the country that went sideways over bad Bunny at the 479 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Here's an interesting analogy that might well prove 480 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: the point. The only artist that would be comparable nowadays 481 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: is Taylor Swift in terms of general popularity and considering 482 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: the crowdslash demographic, I think that would still it would 483 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: still be a pretty big deal. I wasn't around to 484 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: experience how big the blowback was for Lenin because I 485 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: wasn't around. But I think because it's such a large 486 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: fan base here would be significant. There'd be cigarette significt 487 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: upper from the Swifties like there was towards the Beatles. 488 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 489 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to put it. If 490 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: if Taylor Swift had said something similar or would say 491 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: something similar, it would be it would be enormous, and 492 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't again, it wouldn't necessarily matter. It's like just 493 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: besides dig In, and it wouldn't even necessarily matter, sadly, 494 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: the substance of what was said, the context of what 495 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: was said, whether we're debating the import of what he 496 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: said or the the I guess you could say the 497 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: true meaning of it. I guess I guess what I'm 498 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: saying is we wouldn't. I think you could debate whether 499 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: he was very artful in getting across what he was 500 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: trying to say in the original quote, But the debate 501 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't be about that, largely because that's a different debate. 502 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: It's not on the same level. It's like, well, he 503 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: just he didn't explain himself very well. But it's fairly 504 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: clear what he meant. It would literally be you're thumbing 505 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: your nose at organized religion, and therefore you're putting yourself 506 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: above organized religion or in this case, Jesus, and therefore 507 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: you deserve all the blowback that you might be receiving. 508 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: So the more I think about it, and the more 509 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: I listen to some of the textures, I think it 510 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: probably it wouldn't. 511 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: It's there's less of a chance there'd be a yawn because. 512 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: If it was big, then without all the megaphones, there's 513 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: really no other option, is there but that it would 514 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: be much bigger. And once again, there's a good chance 515 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: that about sixty percent of the middle as in slightly 516 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: leaning left, center, slightly leaning right would maybe talk about 517 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: it over dinner for about five minutes and then move 518 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: on to the next next subject. But the fringes, you know, 519 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: the far left and the far right, it would be 520 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: it's on, we got another good debate going, we got 521 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: one side being vulnerable. We're gonna we're gonna take full 522 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: advantage of this and go after it. So I think 523 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: there's probably some there is probably some truth to that 524 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Fresh On Brian Kafe in text line is six four 525 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: six eight six. 526 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: Let me see if I can find where I was 527 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: going earlier. I wanted to get at least some of 528 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: those in that's the first perce show. No, that's not it. 529 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: If where did it go? It was a it was 530 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: a wolves in five thing. And now I should have 531 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: favored it at as quickly as possible, and that probably 532 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: would have helped. In any case. What if Donald Trump 533 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: said he's bigger than Jesus. I tend to think it's 534 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: it all depends on whose ox is being gored. Yeah, 535 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: that's another story, probably for another day, which I don't 536 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: think he's done, at least not to this point. I 537 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: was trying to ease into the breaking news within the administration, 538 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: but unfortunately I can't find it. Too many or too 539 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: many techs, are too many texts I should say, are 540 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: indeed coming in. But what I will say is, will 541 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: you hit the breaking new sounder by the way, you 542 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: find that for me, because there is breaking news that 543 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: some of you might already be aware of. And it 544 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: appeared earlier today that this was pretty much inevitable. But 545 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: President Trump. Speaking of the President, he fired Homeland Security 546 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nome after mounting criticism over her leadership of 547 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: the department, including the handling of the administration's immigration crackdown 548 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: and disaster response. Trump said he'll make Nome a special 549 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: envoy for the Shield of the Americas new security initiative 550 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: that he said would focus on the Western hemisphere, which 551 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: I think is his way of saying, we're just going. 552 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: To get her out of the way, and you might 553 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: not ever hear from her from this point forward. 554 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: But the titles sounds kind of fancy, and so we'll 555 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: all kind of, you know, pretend that this isn't a 556 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: significant dismissal I. 557 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 2: Talked two days ago. I think it was. 558 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: But some of the comments from a Republican Senator till Us, 559 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: and I'm going to play back a bit of sound 560 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: for when he was basically, I mean, he was going 561 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: after her very hard in some hearings, and after you 562 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: we hear it, I think maybe we'll talk a little 563 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: bit about why it was so. What he had to 564 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: say to me is so significant and caught the attention 565 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: of lots of folks. 566 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: This is a senator really. 567 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 1: Harshly criticizing and you could say, lecturing Christy nom just the. 568 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 5: Other day of those people, and I wanted to take 569 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 5: fewer of the others and mister Press or, mister Chair 570 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 5: in my remaining time. 571 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 2: I have a lot to go. 572 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 5: But I want to submit this letter from the Office 573 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 5: of Inspector General that site. 574 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 2: That's my fault. I hit the button of. 575 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 5: Those people, and I want to take fewer of the 576 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 5: others and mister Press or mister Chair in my remaining time. 577 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 5: I have a lot to go, but I want to 578 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 5: submit this letter from the Office of Inspector General that 579 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 5: cites ten different instances under Miss nomes leadership where they've 580 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 5: been misled and not allowed to pursue investigations that they 581 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 5: think are critically important. Does anybody have any idea how 582 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 5: bad it has to be for the OIG in this 583 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 5: agency to. 584 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 2: Come out and do this publicly. 585 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 5: That is stonewalling, that's a failure of leadership, and that 586 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 5: is why I've called for your resignation. And if I 587 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 5: don't get an answer to these questions, I don't want 588 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 5: an applause. 589 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 2: Please don't do that for me. 590 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 5: If I don't get an answer to these questions, If 591 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 5: I don't get an answer, that you've had a month 592 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 5: to respond to, and the remaining ones as of today, 593 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 5: I'll be informing leadership that I'm putting a hold on 594 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 5: any odd block nominations until I get a response, and 595 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 5: then two waits. 596 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 2: If I don't get a. 597 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 5: Response, I'm going to deny quorum and mark up in 598 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 5: as many committees as I can until I get a response. 599 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 2: Thank you, mister Chair. Okay. 600 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: So the significance there again is this is a Republican 601 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: This is a Republican center, a center a senator I 602 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: should say, who. I don't know how much more frontal 603 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: one could get in his frustration, his anger, his belief 604 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 1: that what he was asking about, the stonewalling that he 605 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: was saying was taking place in her department, pretty much 606 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: confirmed that she is not fit for the office that 607 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: the President. 608 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: Gave her. 609 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: I noticed a tweet from Dean Phillips because he saw 610 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: the same sound and wrote, it's exceptionally rare for tribe 611 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: members to challenge their own in Congress. Kudos to Senator 612 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: Tillis for exposing the remarkable incompetency and cowardice of Christy. No, 613 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: and he's right. How many times we've talked about this. 614 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: Part of the reason I can't watch most hearings anymore 615 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: is that they're all such a game of protecting my 616 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: tribe over yours. So therefore, if the person testifying is 617 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: a hostile witness, I'm gonna spend nothing. I'm not even 618 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: really gonna give that witness a chance to defend himself 619 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: for herself. 620 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go off on. 621 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm not really gonna ask specific questions, though it sounds 622 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: like in this case he was trying to. And if 623 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: that witness comes from your side, you don't usually dare 624 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: to use your time to ask what might be some 625 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: legitimate questions about their leadership or whatever department that they 626 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: came from. It would be my job is to defend 627 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: you against all attacks. In some cases that might be 628 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: warranted if the attacks are are misguided, but that doesn't matter. 629 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: Those speeches are I'm going to defend you. 630 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 2: Don't even have to. 631 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: Talk, Just let me talk in your defense. It's refreshing, 632 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: as Dean Phillips said, when a tribe member challenges their 633 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: own in Congress, that's part of the reason we're as 634 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: screwed up as we are. 635 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 2: That it is. 636 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: It stands out to that degree. But the larger moral 637 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: is if you've got Republican senators speaking up in this way, 638 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: you knew she was on borrow time, that there just 639 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be much chance that she was going 640 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: to be able to survive pretty much anything, and so 641 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: now she is indeed out. There was one other item 642 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: from that I wanted to get to regarding well, some 643 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: of the testimony yesterday. I don't know how much a 644 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: conversation there was this on the show yesterday, but it's 645 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: it's fairly clear. 646 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 2: See if I can find the. 647 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: Some of the key context that I think, once again 648 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: pretty much made it impossible that even in this administration, 649 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: she was going to be able to survive. And that 650 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: includes discussion of a one hundred and forty three million 651 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: dollar no bid contract for media advertising to brand to 652 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: a brand new mystery firm that happened to then hire 653 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: her aid's husband's firm as a subcontractor, described by one 654 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: individual on x as looting America in playing sight. She 655 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: had also said that this two hundred million dollar ad campaign, 656 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: in which in part she appears on a horse, he 657 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: said that the President signed off on, and that probably 658 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: is what doomed her is He then said in an 659 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: interview I think earlier today that he had not signed 660 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: off on it. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, 661 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: but that probably was a bridge too far, even for 662 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. So in any case, 663 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: the moral of the story is she literally was not 664 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: fit for the job. If you wanted to say, well, 665 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: it was clear on the front end she should never 666 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 1: have been appointed to the position. You could then add, well, okay, 667 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: but let's see what she does when she's in it. Well, 668 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: it's safe to say she did nothing to change that 669 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: particular assertion and that particular belief when you had as 670 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: many Republicans expressing over and over again, not just this once, 671 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: for a period of time, frustration in the approach that 672 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: she was taking in her position an utter and complete disaster. 673 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: Brad Sean and Brian Kfey in text line is open 674 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: at six four six eight six. Let me get to 675 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: a couple of texts as well. Um, yeah, this might 676 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: have been the one I was looking for. This is 677 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: Patrick and elk River. Christy Noome gets gored many goals, 678 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: Minnetonka scored, Lennon diss is the Lord Wolves, and five 679 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: that's Patrick in elk River. That pretty much says it 680 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: all should be frightening to people. How many know nothing, 681 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: know it alls are currently in the federal government important 682 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: positions held by laughably competent, incompetent individuals. This from the 683 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: party that purports to be all about a meritocracy. Well, 684 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: the thing that's interesting to me regarding this contract is, again, 685 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: if you want to make as one of your I 686 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: guess major planks the fraud that's going on or has 687 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: going on in the great state of Minnesota. It's a 688 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: good issue. It's a fair issue, no question. We've talked 689 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: about it for months on this show. But if you 690 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: have a different kind of fraud being perpetrated under your 691 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: own nose, then you leave people scratching their heads and saying, 692 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: does it again all depend on whose ox is being gored? 693 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,439 Speaker 1: Because that is exactly what it sounds like in this case. 694 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: Now I've said this before, you know, and it pertains 695 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: the less important issues, like when head coaches fire their 696 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: offensive or defensive coordinator to a certain extent, if that 697 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: individual has been not done a very good job, you'd say, well, 698 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: your job as a head coach is to step in 699 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: and make the decision and find somebody else that to 700 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: double down on a hire. 701 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: That you made. Is you know is going to doom 702 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: you to disaster. 703 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: On the other hand, I think we've also said that 704 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: you have to call into question, not just in this 705 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: case Christine Olm, but the person who put her there 706 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,439 Speaker 1: in the first place. 707 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 2: That's got to be part of the story. 708 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: Is Yeah, okay, he did eventually what he had to do, 709 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: but that doesn't answer the question about what made him think, 710 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: what made what possessed him to think that this made 711 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: this hire was going to make any sense from the beginning, 712 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: and she he tried hard. There were several times earlier 713 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: where she was under siege again from people in her 714 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: own party, and he did the also doing a great job, 715 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: doing a wonderful job. What you hear, you know in 716 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: any administration until the time has come. But the only 717 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: surprise is that the only the only real tragedy is 718 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: that it took as long as it did. And by 719 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: the way, it looks like his Grand Rapids just taking it, 720 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: taking the lead. 721 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 4: No, they just scored a late equalizer. Twenty eight tie seconds, 722 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 4: tie it. 723 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: They tied it, and they oh, you're right, twenty eight 724 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 1: point nine seconds to go. Grand Rapids ties it. They 725 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: are the five seed taking on four seed Rose Mount. 726 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: So very dramatic finish. They are two to two with 727 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: twenty eight point nine seconds to go. Top of the 728 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: hour break, we're going to get to some pro hockey 729 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 1: and the l Minnesota Wild Trade Steam Russo Radio on 730 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: all that, and who 731 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 2: Knows what else he's going to join us next
