1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Pull the audio, but I decided not to subject you

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: to his voice this morning. In his campaign announcement, Ellison said,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm running for re election to keep Minnesota a fair

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: place where rule of law prevails over power and privilege.

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Since Minnesota elected me seven years ago. Oh it's been

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: that long already. It feels like a lifetime. We've won

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: tough fights to help Minnesotans afford their lives. Again, I

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: ask you, that's Keith Elson helped you in any way

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: afford your life. He goes on to say, we don't

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: bow down to kings in America, Okay, not presidents, not billionaires,

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: not giant corporations, because everyone deserves.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: To afford their life. Again, that that's a.

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: New one for me. I'm kind of stuck on it.

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna see I hope we're not going to see

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: more of this. Is this going to be a new

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: argument now? Is this going to be something that Democrats

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: use and be over and over again? You just simply

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: you can't afford your life, well life, well, you know,

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: most people live in the negative, most people have credit

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: card debt.

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: Okay.

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: His campaign announcement touts his accomplishments during his first two terms.

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what they are, I'll try to help

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: you out. I'm not sure again if any of these

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: have helped you afford your life at all. But he

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: says he's reduced the cost of insulin. Okay, all right,

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: fought price gouging by corporations.

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: Was that taking place? I mean, was that? Was that

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: a huge deal? Okay?

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing in fraud about this, in any of this.

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Let me just jump to the end here. There's nothing

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: relating to the billions in fraud. He hasn't done anything

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: about that. Oh, he has been a part of some

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: forty lawsuits he's filed against Trump. He goes on to

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: say he helped people strugg with medical debts, helped opioid

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: hell the opioid companies responsible for the epidemic, and then

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: protected tenants from exploitation, and protected student borrowers. Minnesota DFL

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: chair Richard Carlbaum released a statement on Ellison's campaign announcement, saying,

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: and I'm just going to read the first part of

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: this because carl Baum is a DFL hack shill, propaganda

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: machine and doesn't deserve much time and attention on this show.

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I thought Ken Martin was bad Carl Boum's even worse,

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: if it's possible. He said, at a time when half

44
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: of our country's politicians ignore problems for their own convenience,

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: Keith Evison stands out well. I agree with the one

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: part of that statement. Keith Ellison absolutely absolutely does stand out.

47
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: Now.

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: The article from Fox nine that I'm pulling from here

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: says Republicans have criticized Ellison throughout his time as attorney general,

50
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: saying he's allowed violent crime to spike across Minnesota. Ron Schultz,

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: who is running for Attorney general against Ellison, also criticized

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: to him for the recent fraud investigations, of which I

53
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago in Minnesota that happened under his watch. So,

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: first off, we have opportunities, We have golden opportunities this year. Well,

55
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: actually I'm sorry heading into next year, Okay, Ellison only

56
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: one by what one maybe two points last go around,

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: and there's an opportunity here to electorally remove Ellison and

58
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Walls from politics, even if it is temporary. I mean

59
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: that in and of itself is encouragement I think for

60
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: most people to get involved in your elections here in Minnesota.

61
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 5: Keith Ellison one hundred percent helped my wife and I

62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,279
Speaker 5: to be able to afford life. We hated his policies,

63
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: so we moved to South Dakota. No, it saved over

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 5: forty thousand dollars in taxes in the last five years.

65
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: Thank you.

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Well, okay, there's one, probably not in the way that

67
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison was referencing here in the piece.

68
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 6: Good morning, John, thank you for not subjecting my ears

69
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 6: to narcissistic Attorney General Keith Ellison is we don't have

70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 6: kings or recognized kings. I don't seem to recall him.

71
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 6: It's broke up there, all of us and dictator and

72
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 6: during CORVID.

73
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mentioned he was talking about the time during

74
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: during COVID and what the government did. Let's get to

75
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: a few more here as we kick off the show

76
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: this morning.

77
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 7: Oh lord, Keith, you're going to make it more affordable.

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 7: Oh things are more expensive though when you started, so

79
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 7: you've already failed. And I'm sure isn't going to be

80
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 7: more affordable as long as you pursue these the wasting

81
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 7: of millions taxpayer dollars, pursuing your frivolous lawsuits based upon

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 7: ideology rather than actual law. Good lord, but there you go. Democrats.

83
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to cut it off before JD goes

84
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: in curses there, it's too early for that.

85
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 2: JD. One more as we kick off the show this morning.

86
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 8: Did Alison really he preached the cock with influence?

87
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 9: Because it's for me?

88
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 8: I remember something about Trump making Sunjong that involved be

89
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 8: preaching the cock with influence.

90
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

91
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: No, listen, you're you're absolutely correct. But it doesn't matter.

92
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: They it's second nature for them to lie. They'll teut

93
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: whatever argument they want to tout. They'll make whatever point

94
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: they want to make. It doesn't matter if there's any truth,

95
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: truth attached to it, whatsoever. This is just where we

96
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: are in politics right now.

97
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: It sucks.

98
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't that way, but it is the

99
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: example that I recently shared of Governor Tim Walls talking

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: about the fraud and having the nerve to actually say,

101
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, Republicans, it's like driving by a fire and

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: not stopping to do anything about it. They've done nothing

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: to go and deal with the fraud here in Minnesota.

104
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: It's just a flat out lie. It's not even worth

105
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: spending any more time explaining why it's a lie. You

106
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: know why that's a lie, we're gonna talk more about

107
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: this particular race, how vulnerable Keith Ellison is or isn't.

108
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: When Hank Long from Alpha News joins us much later

109
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: in the show, coming up in the eight o'clock hour,

110
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: right around eight thirty, we'll get back to more of

111
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: your talkbacks. So those are brought to you by Lindahl

112
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Realty from the iHeart Radio app. I want to get

113
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: you up to speed on three I Atlas. We're counting

114
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: down to the twenty ninth. Apparently that's the big day

115
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: abe whether we know if it's a comment or if

116
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: this is actually, you know, an alien species arriving to

117
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: take us over like Independence Day. There's one expert in

118
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: here is going to be showing up on Joe Rogan

119
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: who believes that's the case. So I'll give you the

120
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: latest on that, and we will do a little bit

121
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: more post mortem this hour or two on No Kings

122
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: and whether or not it was successful in any way,

123
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: shape or form for Democrats. Continue to get those talkbacks

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: into the iHeartRadio app and you can email me Justice

125
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: at iHeartRadio dot com.

126
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 10: Ellison went after price gouging, but do you ever look

127
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 10: at the universities and how much they overcharge for their

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 10: degrees that they hand out.

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: There's serious price gouging.

130
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Are the books that need to be purchased. Some gougings,

131
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: okay by Democrats. Gouge away if it's not politically expedient.

132
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: No gouging if it helps the Democrat cause. Gouge Hello,

133
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: good morning morning.

134
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 8: It's my firm belief that nothing's ever going to change

135
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 8: in this state until we get back to paper ballots

136
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 8: and election day, not election month.

137
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: Well, I want all of those things as well. I

138
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: disagree with the premise these elections that have been won

139
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: by the DFL recently. I'm just going back to almost

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: a year ago. They won by the smallest of margins.

141
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the balance of power within the Senate Legislature

142
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: was determined by some four hundred and thirty two votes.

143
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: If you just get involved and get more people involved

144
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: those that are registered to vote, we can win. Republicans

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: can win elections. So I do want to see everything

146
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: that you mentioned. I think that's important. And you do

147
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: have an infrastructure in place within the GOP that is

148
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: making sure to provide as much election integrity as possible

149
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: to the process on election day. But elections can still

150
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: absolutely be one, and I dismiss that too, because I

151
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: don't want to see people turned off from getting involved.

152
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: And if one person can get turned off, then four

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: hundred five hundred people can get turned off.

154
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 9: Bye.

155
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: Well, nothing's ever gonna change. We're always gonna lose elections

156
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: election fraud. No, you can only control what you can control.

157
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: So get as many people out to vote, and keep

158
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: encouraging people to vote. Do what you want to do

159
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: personally to help deal with election integrity, but otherwise remain

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: positive with the system that we have in place. And

161
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: again remember that there is a considered effort within the

162
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: GOP to deal with election integrity and the potential of fraud.

163
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: And we have a story coming up later on in

164
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the show where a woman actually committed voter fraud here

165
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota in voting for Trump. But I don't care

166
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: which side of the political spectrum you fall on, you

167
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. And it's another example that voter

168
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: fraud does absolutely.

169
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: Exist. All right, let's do one more on Ellison.

170
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 11: Happy hump Day, John, Happy Humpty, Lou. It's amazing how

171
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 11: they're strangers to the truth and aliens to the honesty.

172
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 11: And Keith Ellison checks both boxes well.

173
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of aliens.

174
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: From the Blaze, In case you weren't aware, right now,

175
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: there is a giant interstellar object roughly the size of Manhattan,

176
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: hurtling through our Solar system, dubbed a three I Atlas.

177
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Scientists speculate that it's nothing more than a natural comment

178
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: or rogue planetary fragment. Calculations suggest that it poses no

179
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: threat to Earth or her citizens or his citizens, and

180
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: will miss us by millions of miles. That's unless it

181
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: slows down in turns. Harvard astronomer Avy Lobe isn't ready

182
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: to dismiss A three eye Atlas as a harmless astronomical entity.

183
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: There's too many strange coincidences surrounding it. And he is

184
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be making an appearance very soon on the

185
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan podcast. I'm looking forward to that. He was

186
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: on Glenn Beck recently. He told Glenn the four reason

187
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: he four reasons he believes that it's no ordinary space object. First,

188
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: three I at Lis gives low pause because of its

189
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: gargantuan size. It is significantly larger than its two predecessors,

190
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: that would be a Muamoa and two I Borisov a

191
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: million times more massive than a Muhamoa and a thousand

192
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: times more massive than Borisov.

193
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: So why is that significant?

194
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: Well, Loebe says, there's not enough rocky material, even coming

195
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: from Glandathu. There's not enough rocky material in an interstellar

196
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: space to supply such a giant one once per decade.

197
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: In our solar system, we would expect it once per

198
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand years or so. The second reason he believes

199
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: the three eye at Let's going to be a UAP

200
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: is because according to the Hubble telescope images, the light

201
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to object to the light the object emits is pointing

202
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: toward the Sun, and that's opposite to what comments do,

203
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: where light points away from the Sun, giving them a

204
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: tail like appearance.

205
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: He says, it's light seeing.

206
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: An animal in your backyard, and everyone says, oh, it

207
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: must be a street cap because it has a tail,

208
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: And then you look at the photograph of the animal

209
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: and then you see the tail as actually on its forehead.

210
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: Reason number three is that the trajectory of three I

211
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: atlas is aligned within five degrees of the elliptical plane

212
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: the planets around the Sun. In simple terms, it's moving

213
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: along the same highway as the solar system panels an

214
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: uncommon trajectory for interstellar objects. The chance of that, he says,

215
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: is one in five hundred. Lobe says an alien force

216
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: would need to take this route if it wanted to

217
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: do a reconnaissance mission. Again, they'll take one quick look

218
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: and just fly.

219
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: Right on by.

220
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Lastly, the arrival time of three i at list is peculiar,

221
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: he says, it's passing through our solar system. At it's

222
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: a unique moment, coming very close to Mars, Venus and Jupiter,

223
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: a rarity that gives these planets a rarity. Given these

224
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: planets are constantly moving, you need the perfect timing to

225
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: line up near all three. That's another coincidence that might

226
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: indicate fine tuning.

227
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: Lobe told Glenn Beck.

228
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: Now the experts attribute the unusual traits to ratendom chance.

229
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to three i at lists, Lobe argues

230
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: that the odds and such coincidences are one in a million.

231
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: Look, I have no idea.

232
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: There was a photo going around yesterday and it was like,

233
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: this is what the Chinese caught, And it looked like

234
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: it had a bunch of lights on it, which makes

235
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: me laugh because then you had suddenly, Now experts in

236
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: astronomy and alien spacecraft going. Why would it have lights,

237
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: why would they need windows? Well, who knows if they're windows.

238
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: No one was saying it was a star destroyer. Could

239
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: just be lights on it for some reason. I don't know,

240
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: they're an alien speeches. It turns out, though, that was

241
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: a photograph manipulated from a real photograph of a distant

242
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: galaxy somewhere, so that was bogus. I just love all

243
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: of the speculation and I'm happy to go and share

244
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: it with you. Any thoughts you have, drop those on

245
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio brought to you by Lyndahl reel to you.

246
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: We'll get do some of the talkbacks that have already

247
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: rolled in regarding No Kings and whether or not it

248
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: was successful in any way for Democrats. Before we get

249
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: into that, though, I do want to update you on

250
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Arizona and Representative elect Adelita Grahova has not been sworn

251
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: in yet and the Arizona Attorney General has now filed

252
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: a lawsuit because she's not been sworn in yet. Yeah,

253
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: we'll get into the details of this. I have some

254
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: background of my time in Arizona on Adelita that I

255
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: will share with you as Wednesday's show continues here on

256
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: tw City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one on

257
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: three five FM.

258
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: You're fascinating to talk to.

259
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: Friend, ask you what you did there?

260
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: I guess we better invest in some raid.

261
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a Starship Trooper's reference for those that.

262
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: Didn't realize why I tossed that in a moment ago.

263
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: Twin Cities News.

264
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Talk Broadcasting from the sixty five to one carpet Next

265
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Day Install Studios. Glad you're with the show this morning.

266
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: All right, we got to do a roundup of talkbacks

267
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: here on a number of different topics from this morning.

268
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I did have a few more that rolled in regarding

269
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison running for a third term, and we'll talk

270
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: extensively about this with Hank Long from Alpha News when

271
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: he joins us in the studio at eight thirty this morning.

272
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: But let's go back to the iHeartRadio app talkbacks.

273
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 12: More, John Devon, I am beyond fatigued listening to the

274
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 12: likes of Keith Ellison or Chuck Schumer go on and

275
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 12: on while they are somehow making my life better or

276
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 12: your life better for that matter. The role of government

277
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 12: is simply to administer public goods, which is things like

278
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 12: defense not to get me out of my student loan

279
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 12: debt or get me a free hand out for this

280
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 12: or for that. That's up to me to get out

281
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 12: there and do my job every day as a productive citizen.

282
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: You're there, Yeah, you're absolutely right.

283
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison has a good shot of winning again because

284
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: right now Democrats just simply don't care about everything that

285
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, even though you're correct. And this goes

286
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: back to my conversation, and we'll revisit that because I

287
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: have a few comments that rolled in on that as well.

288
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: But this goes back to my conversation and my comments

289
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: relating to conducting ourselves currently moving forward in the next

290
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: election cycle.

291
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, this.

292
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 13: Is representing Meler. The one way that Keith Ellison has

293
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 13: saved my family money is when we've had to defend

294
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 13: ourselves by spending money against lawsuits against unlawful laws that

295
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 13: was passed during one party control, like not allowing faith

296
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 13: based institutions to have faith statements that students sign, you know,

297
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 13: violating our First Amendment rights, or when cannabis was de

298
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 13: beat out by skin color. So that's great, thanks guys.

299
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, thank you Representative Mueller. I appreciate you listening

300
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: and dropping a talk back this morning, brought to you

301
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: by Lyndahl.

302
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: Realty Ellison is an activist.

303
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean most Democrats now are most of them are

304
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: the only people that I'm not going to throw into

305
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: that category are the ones that I'm not going to

306
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: knock up throw anybody in that category currently. I mean

307
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: with what they're aligning with and the lack of caring

308
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: about hypocrisy or the double standard. Now, they've all become activists.

309
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: Some are more so than others. Keith is activist to

310
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: his core. Governor Tim Walls is a level of activism,

311
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: but he's also just a hack DFL politician. And we

312
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: have some Governor Tim Wall's news to get to later on.

313
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: He's got a new I don't even know what you

314
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: would call it. It's not really a campaign ad. It's

315
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: an ad that he posted pushing back on the shutdown

316
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and Republicans of him playing miniature golf. I'm not even joking.

317
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: So I'll share that with you in about an hour

318
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: from now. A couple of comments rolled in based off

319
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: of the We're never going to win elections unless we

320
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: go to one day voting. Get rid of you long

321
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: term voting and paper ballots. I want to allow the

322
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: opportunity for the individual Rooney who left the talk back

323
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: to provide his rebuttal to my statement.

324
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 9: Oh, good morning. In rebubble to the comment that I

325
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 9: made about paper ballots, voting months or a day not month,

326
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 9: you stated that that's not needed to change that. We

327
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 9: almost want what I said, How easy it would it

328
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 9: be to win if they were that way?

329
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course absolutely. You didn't hear what I said correctly.

330
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: It's okay selective hearing. People hear what they want to hear.

331
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. I have another talk back

332
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: that relates directly to that. I didn't say the change

333
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: wasn't needed. I said that I agree with you. I

334
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: would like to see us go to that way of voting,

335
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: same day voting, paper ballots and the like. One thing

336
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: I didn't mention last time, though, is you're never going

337
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: to get there unless you elect Republicans. So you need

338
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: to be able to elect Republicans based off the current

339
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: system that we have. And yes, we can still win

340
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: elections with the current system that we have. Last year's

341
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: elections are the evidence of that. I'm not just talking

342
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: about Congress, I'm talking and in the presidency. I'm also

343
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: talking about here in Minnesota. Again, it was four hundred

344
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: and thirty two votes that decided the balance of power

345
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: in the Senate in the legislature, and it's split evenly

346
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: and almost had a one vote majority in the House.

347
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: These are close elections here in Minnesota. Increase voter turnout

348
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: by half a percentage point in that last election, and

349
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: the GOP has control of both chambers.

350
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: In Saint Paul, John.

351
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 14: You suggest that we can win more elections if we

352
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 14: have more people involved, and that's great if we have

353
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 14: fair elections. But why do you think that the fraud

354
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 14: only exists in the programs that have been abused by

355
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 14: the Democrats So far, they've been abusing elections. The election

356
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 14: fraud in Minnesota is horrible. So you have to get

357
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 14: the fraud out of there. And the way you do

358
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 14: that is how the caller suggested, with paper ballots and

359
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 14: one day voting time.

360
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: Is it really windy today? I feel like I'm speaking.

361
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: Into the wind.

362
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: People are not hearing what I'm saying. I agree with you,

363
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: but I laid out the fraud situation. You're not going

364
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: to be able to if you believe that there is

365
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: rampant fraud, and there is fraud taking place, I'm not

366
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: going to go so is to say that it's impacting

367
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: elections to the point where one side is winning over another.

368
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 2: I haven't seen these specific evidence to that. Is it likely?

369
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Maybe fraud does take place, and that's enough alone to

370
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: go to what you're talking about with paper ballots in

371
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: one day voting, But you're never going to get there

372
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: unless you put Republicans into power.

373
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: So how do you put Republicans into power?

374
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Now?

375
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: You don't go and lean on it's.

376
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: All fraudulent, don't get involved, because that's what those comments

377
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: speak to. In my opinion, you want to talk about

378
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: the fraud, talk about the product, you do, whatever is

379
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: you want to do. I'm just telling you my attitude

380
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: towards it. I would like to see us go to

381
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: a more secure election when those days arrive via the

382
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: ways that you guys are talking about, But right now

383
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to do that. So

384
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: you need to increase the number of individuals Republicans registered

385
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: to vote and get them out to vote to increase

386
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: those numbers.

387
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: And you're not going to do that.

388
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: If people are convinced that it's not necessary or irrelevant

389
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: or a waste of time to go and vote because

390
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: there's so much fraud, then you're just going to keep

391
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: losing and things are going to stay the way that

392
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: they are. Talk about your fraud. We want to take

393
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: care of it. We've got to get people involved. We

394
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: can still win elections, it's been proven, and move forward.

395
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: We can, you know, again, tinker around the edges of

396
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: relating to policy in the future. But I just feel

397
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: like we need to. I believe we need to dispense

398
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: with all this negativity surrounding elections, being unsecure while still

399
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: being concerned about it, and maintain a positive attitude that

400
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: we can win elections with the current system that we

401
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: have in place. If you don't believe that, then that's fine.

402
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: You're entitled to your opinion. Then don't bother to go

403
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: and vote, but don't discourage other individuals, because that does

404
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: nobody any good. Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays has filed

405
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: a lawsuit that seeks to get Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn

406
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: in as the state's new member of Congress after US

407
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to seat her a

408
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: month after she won the post. Yeah, there's a government

409
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: shutdown going on. Adelie de Grihalva. She is the daughter

410
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: of a progressive Democrat, Raoul Groova, who died in March

411
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: after serving in Congress for more than two decades. She's

412
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: now a little bitty, irrelevant newbie fish in a big

413
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: political lake in DC. And see she's used to because

414
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: of her ties to her father, having her way and

415
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: control of the political machine in an area of southern Arizona.

416
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: She doesn't get that anymore, even though she's still acting

417
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 1: like it. The Democrat Attorney General filed the lawsuit Tuesday

418
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: in Washington on behalf of Grihava and asked a judge

419
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: to let other people who are authorized to administer the

420
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: oath swear Goriholva in if Johnson has not done so.

421
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: Mas has previously said that the delay in giving Grihova

422
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress. According to

423
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: the article from Newsmax, the oath of office leaves over

424
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: eighty excuse me, eight hundred thousand people in Southern Arizona,

425
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: in the Southern Arizona District without representation.

426
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what.

427
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: They're all used to that, having had her father serving

428
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: as their representative for again some two decades. Yeah, they're

429
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: pretty used to not having representation. She has echoed that,

430
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: saying the delay has left people in her district without

431
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: the constituent services that are normally provided by congressional offices.

432
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: They don't care. If they wanted that, they would have voted.

433
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: Raoul Garhova out the many times when there were worthy

434
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: challengers to him. Johnson has said that Adelie de Grihava

435
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: will be sworn in when the House returns to session

436
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: and blame the government shut down for the delay. Accused

437
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: me as of seeking publicity when she threatened to file

438
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: the LAS. Yeah it was an adelite still thinks she's

439
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: big time.

440
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: She's not anymore. She's irrelevant. She's a newbie in DC.

441
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: She's trying to have her way, but it's just not

442
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: how things work, and she's learning that rather quickly. All right,

443
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: let's get back to no Kings for just a moment.

444
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 9: Here.

445
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: There's an article going back to last week anti Trump,

446
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 1: no King's protests supported by socialist organizations that love dictatorships.

447
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: Glenn Beck actually broke down some of the money that

448
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: was involved some two hundred and sixty seven million of

449
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: activist groups, and I'll address that here in just a second.

450
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: This was a pro capitalist event by a lot of

451
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: different measures. When you consider transportation necessary for the two

452
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: to three million individuals that participated.

453
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: Gas airlines for you know, airline.

454
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: Fares for those that traveled to a different state, law enforcement,

455
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: overtime and security, private companies renting out the ridiculous costume,

456
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: the signs that were made, and T shirts, local restaurants,

457
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: big water reaping the benefits. Yeah, for a protest that

458
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: was aligned with a lot of socialists and communists, it

459
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: certainly had this pro capitalist bend to it. The Atlantic

460
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: had an interesting piece that came out on Sunday, The

461
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: Resistance is cringe, but it's also effective. I'm not gonna

462
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: go it's a really length it's a real lengthy piece.

463
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: I went through the entirety of it. They don't really

464
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: land on any good conclusion or example of why this

465
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: was effective. There's also an editorial that I'll share with

466
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: you some details from in the Minnesota Reformer from a

467
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: DFL activist named Conrad Zabowski. PJ Media had a piece

468
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: out yesterday as well. That I wanted to share. Yes,

469
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: the No Kings rallies were ridiculous, but the Democrats still

470
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: won a big PR victory. Before I share this with

471
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: you and get to some of your thoughts on and

472
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: I want to play a couple of audio clips here,

473
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: one particular one.

474
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: Relating to this.

475
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: In the focus that the Democrats have had over Trump

476
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: and that ridiculous meme that he put out of flying

477
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: the jet and dropping the excrement on the crowds, Democrats

478
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: continue to freak out over this, and I would actually

479
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: argue that they're focusing on this and want Trump did

480
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: in large part over What I'm going to argue here

481
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: in a moment is that despite what some people say,

482
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that these protests were really all that

483
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: successful for Democrats, and if they were, they would be

484
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: focusing on why they were successful and not so much

485
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: on Trump's parody videos. But Jennings, of course on CNN,

486
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: was talking about this with the other hosts and the anchor,

487
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say.

488
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 4: Why shouldn't the president use a made up video to

489
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 4: respond to a rally that has a made up reason?

490
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a non existent reason. We don't have

491
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 4: a monarchy in this country. We have a presidency won

492
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: by Donald Trump, who won the popular vote, who won

493
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 4: the electoral College, who won all the swing states. We

494
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 4: have a democracy. People voted and they elected the president.

495
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: And the only thing they're mad about is that he

496
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: is lawfully executing the office of the presidency and enforcing

497
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 4: laws that.

498
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: Have been on the books for a long time.

499
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: So he made up a video. They made up a

500
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 4: reason to have a rally, and I think it was

501
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: kind of funny, to be honest with you, I would

502
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: point out though they would have had a better use

503
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 4: of their time this weekend knocking on doors in Virginia

504
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: or New Jersey than exact marching around them all or

505
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: whatever in crazy cat costumes this weekend, criticizing these people

506
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: who went out to be Americans and say they love

507
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 4: their country and want their president to listen to them.

508
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: That's not a good use of time. That's how frage is.

509
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: Well. No, I mean, normal people were spending time with

510
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 4: their family and watching college football.

511
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: I don't care how the time. If they want to

512
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: go at.

513
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: If they want to go out, and if they want

514
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: to go out and protest, be my guest, they're they're

515
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 4: they're welcome to do it.

516
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: Uh and uh, and I don't. I don't really care

517
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: whether they do it or not.

518
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: But I just happened to think if I were Democrats,

519
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: I would rather have directed that energy into the campaigns

520
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: that are going on this year instead of marching around the.

521
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 6: Way they did.

522
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: But listen, you got to spend your time however you want,

523
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: as a free country, not a monarchy.

524
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jennings, and I think alike. I've been saying exactly

525
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: the same thing on the show all week.

526
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 5: I briefly heard Claire and Buck yesterday and one of

527
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 5: them said that out of all the things that the

528
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: Democrats have called Trump, Hitler, Nazi, fascist, king, out of

529
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 5: all of those things, really king isn't so bad. There

530
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 5: have been some really good kings.

531
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: So from PJ Media, Scott Pinsker writes this, the No

532
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: King's protests accomplished two things for the left. First, it

533
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: signaled to their the Democrat Party is finally ready to

534
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: stand up and fight. It certainly wasn't cool incidental the

535
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: protest took place during the Schumer shutdown. The messaging and

536
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: the timing was intentional. It gave their downtrodden base a

537
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: sorely needed shot in the arm. Second, he goes on

538
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: to say it's signaled to moderates and undecided that not

539
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: all anti Trump voices are violent, sociopathic, Antifa inspired wackaloons.

540
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: For the most part, everybody behaved. For the most part,

541
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: the American flags outnumbered the Palestinian, Mexican and LGBTQ flags.

542
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: For the most part, the participants understood how political theater works,

543
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: followed their assigned script and kept their noses clean, and

544
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: because they did, the label of political violence will be

545
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: harder to pin on them. In the process, they did

546
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: open themselves up to further lampooning. Instead of being led

547
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: by young, energetic twenty somethings and o King's rallies were

548
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: full of boomers and seventy something ex hippies. Their outfits

549
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: were ridiculous and unserious, but they six definitely energize their base,

550
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: and they put reputational distance between themselves and political violence.

551
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: Not completely, of course, but progress was made. We're fooling

552
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: ourselves to think otherwise, and that alone made it a

553
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: big pr victory.

554
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: I disagree.

555
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: I disagree because just because it wasn't violent doesn't mean

556
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: that it wasn't any more ridiculous, And as a matter

557
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: of fact, I would go the other direction and argue

558
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: that because there wasn't any violence and the clips that

559
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: are shown, because a lot of what comes out of

560
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: the No King's protest is going to be the videos

561
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: that are shared online. In the absence of having burning

562
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: cities and buildings and riots and stuff being thrown and

563
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: tear gas billowing about, you have videos of individuals being

564
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: interviewed wearing ridiculous costumes, not being able to articulate the

565
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: No King's message or why they're even angry at Trump

566
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: beyond their own Trump derangement syndrome. Now I'll share with

567
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: you this editorial welcome, We welcome everybody into this movement.

568
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Conrad Zabowski, Minnesota Reformer, a DFL activist pen to this

569
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Reformer. I'll jump to the conclusion on

570
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: this before I provide you the details, though in it

571
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't go and show how this was successful in

572
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: any way, just beyond getting people to go out on

573
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: a Saturday together and protest. And I guess I would

574
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: go and argue, how is the No King's protest any

575
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: more effective than the ones that were going on around Tesla.

576
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Democrats like to take out to the streets and protest

577
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: and put things on display. That doesn't always equal electoral victories,

578
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: and in this case, having this much energy, time and

579
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: money spent on the protest themselves, in my opinion, takes

580
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: away their ability to go and door knock, make phone calls,

581
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: donate to campaigns. But people feel differently. Let's go back

582
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio.

583
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: More than Zich from BRAINERD. Yeah, the No Kings protests

584
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: were extremely successful, and like Ted Cruz mentioned, we need

585
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: to actually start treating them as serious. Millions of people

586
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: went on the street and voice their concerns, even if

587
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: they're you know, true or not, or if they don't

588
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 3: have good points.

589
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: Let me well on real quick, I'll play the rest

590
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: of this. But even if they're true or not or

591
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: don't have good points, those things still matter if you're

592
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: talking about inspiring individuals to go and get involved. If

593
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: you don't have good points or you're not making sense,

594
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: you're not inspiring anybody to go out and get involved.

595
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know the context of what Ted crew mentioned

596
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: in terms of the No King's protests being successful, but

597
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: what do you mean by treating them seriously? What are

598
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: people supposed to do?

599
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 10: Oh, that was.

600
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Just take a stance that was they were very successful.

601
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the counter to that that there

602
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: isn't there's no reason to take them seriously. The protesters

603
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: themselves didn't take themselves seriously, So why should you or

604
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: or I take them seriously? And what does that even

605
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: mean beyond just lending credibility to a movement that's based

606
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: on a foundation of individuals who have simply convinced themselves

607
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: that Trump is the second coming of Hitler.

608
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 3: It's not worth mocking and saying, oh, they're all paid protesters.

609
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 13: No.

610
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: Not everybody is saying that. I'm not saying that.

611
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: Were some of them paid? Absolutely? Were the majority of

612
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: them paid?

613
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 13: No?

614
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: I just that argument and of itself a drives me

615
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: nuts because again.

616
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: It's it is an excuse of well you keep them

617
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: saying they're all paid.

618
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 5: No.

619
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: If there is a Republican out there saying that all

620
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: the protesters are paid, they're wrong.

621
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: Two things gonna be true at once. Are some of

622
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: them paid, sure? Are all of them paid?

623
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:52,880
