1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I've already talked now for thirty minutes, right, if you

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: take out the time that I was speaking with Andrew

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Langer here on Twin City's News talk from the six

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: to five to one, Carpet, next Day, install Studios, commercial breaks,

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: last hour. Usually it's about forty minutes an hour or

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: something like that. Said, all kinds of different things, already

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: had hot takes on a number of different issues, and

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: yet I get talkbacks like this from already know what's

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: when You're done? From foths, from foes of the show.

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Sam in the master control booth has access, so he

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: likes to go in there and look at Why wouldn't

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: you the talkbacks are entertaining. You like to go and

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 1: look at the transcripts. Right, let's go.

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: Here, Good morning John, and just let's fill up with

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: me and pray you just put John Kennedy on there.

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: That guy the fakest accent in the world. You know,

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: he got a fake accent. That guy talked more plainer

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: than when I do it. And also Trump falling asleep

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: at the Oval office. A guy passes out behind him

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: and he just stands there looking like a buffoon, not

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: even offering help. You guys, are clowns, you know it, have.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: A good day after everything that, I'm convinced that again again,

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Phil just likes to hear his own voice. If he

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: legitimately thinks that these are valid criticisms, I guess I

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: feel sorry for Phil. First off, to say Kennedy's accent

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: is fake, It's just dumb. That's just it's not even like,

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: it's not even like an argument. That's just dumb. And

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: then in terms of Trump, did you see the entirety, Phil,

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: of what transpired or did you again just regurgitate what

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: you saw either online posted by the Harry Sissons of

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: the world or on MSNBC. Trump actually moved immediately after

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: that individual passed out in the Oval office, but Trump's

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: not also not a doctor, and there were other doctors

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: on hand that immediately went to assist him. If you

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: see the entirety of the video, it is clear that

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: Trump was very concerned about what was going on. Oh

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: but one reporter happened to catch the perfect photo of

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: individuals tending to the person in medical distress in the

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Oval office and Trump's standing there looking forward just the

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: precise moment. I do appreciate the fact you leave talkbacks, though,

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: because so few foes of the show are actually willing

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: to go and do so. CNN had been in the

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: quiet part out loud regarding the procedural vote and the

44
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: government shutdown ending well nearing an end. We've got plenty

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: more on the other side. We will talk much more

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: about this. Again.

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: You're looking live at the Senate floor as the Democratic

48
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: filibuster has been broken. We have so far reached sixty.

49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: We're writing for the official count, but right now sixty

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: votes that would unlock moving forward with this plan to

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: reopen the government.

52
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: On the Senate side, funniest thing I saw weekend was

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer up there talking about how horrible the shutdown was,

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: and everybody look at him, go, yeah, but you're the

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 4: one causing it. Yeah, kind of idiot, does that? I mean,

56
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, I'm.

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: It's all been nothing but political theater. That's all this was.

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: So this is from Fox nine. A test vote, first

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: in a series that would require procedural maneuvers. The Senate

60
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: voted sixty forty to move toward passing the Compromise legislation

61
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: to fund the government and hold the later votes on

62
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: extending the Affordable Care Act A tax credits that expire

63
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: on January first. The final passage again could be several

64
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: days away if Democrats object and delay the process, this

65
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: is still going to get messy, especially with it having

66
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: to go back to the House. You're now going to

67
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: want to have House democrats that are going to want

68
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the say their fifteen minutes, their sound bites to go

69
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: and put and put online when they're not recording other

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: videos cursing up a storm. And I have the examples

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: of that to share with you coming up in a

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: few minutes. We're drinking to the Whitehouse. On Sunday evening

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: after attending an NFL game, Trump did not say whether

74
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: he endorsed the deal, but said it looks like we're

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: getting close to the shutdown ending the government. Excuse me.

76
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: The agreement does not guarantee the Affordable Care Act subsidies

77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: will be extended, as Democrats have demanded for almost six weeks.

78
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer I voted against moving ahead with the package,

79
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: along with all but eight of his Democrat colleagues. By

80
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the way, Trump over the weekend, he posted on Troop

81
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: on truth social Obamacare sucks, Capital letters, the worst healthcare

82
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: for the highest price pay the people, not the insurance companies.

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: Now.

84
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: That post had followed one from earlier on Saturday that

85
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: urged Senate Republicans to act on healthcare fixes that Trump

86
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: has talked about since before its president will run in

87
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, take from the big bad insurance companies, give

88
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: it to the people, and terminate per dollar spent the

89
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: worst healthcare anywhere in the world. Obamacare unrelated. We must

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: still terminate the filibuster. And this was all prior to

91
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: what had transpired over the weekend. And many people have

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: made this point that you know, if Obamacare is so affordable,

93
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: then why do you need the subsidies. Final passage, as

94
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the legislation could take several days if Democrats

95
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: try to draw out the process. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders

96
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: of Vermont caucuses with Democrats, said that giving up the

97
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: fight was a horrible mistake. Coust Democrats chiming in against it.

98
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: You had Texas Representative Greg Kassar, chairman of the Congressional

99
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Progressive Caucus, said the deal that does not reduce healthcare

100
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: costs is a betrayal of millions of Americans who are

101
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: counting on Democrats to fight, calling it capitulation. Accepting nothing

102
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: but a pinky promise from Republicans isn't to compromise. Millions

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: of families would pay the price. And listen, this wasn't

104
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: going well for Democrats, which is why they're also caving.

105
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, let me share this with you.

106
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Bassent confirmed that economic growth may be cut

107
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: by as much as half due to the shutdown. Here's

108
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: what he had to say over the weekend.

109
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 6: We've seen an impact on the economy from day one,

110
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 6: but it's getting worse and worse. We had a fantastic

111
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: economy under President Trump the past two quarters, and now

112
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 6: there are estimates that the economy economic growth for this

113
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: quarter could be cut by as much as half if

114
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 6: the shutdown continues. And what your correspondent didn't talk about there, George,

115
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 6: was there's a course the human costs, and we're going

116
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 6: to have the busiest travel day of the year the

117
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: day after Thanksgiving, and Americans should look to five Democratic

118
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 6: senators to come across the aisle to open that. But

119
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 6: on the other side, there's also cargo is being slowed down,

120
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 6: so you know, we could end up with shortages, whether

121
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 6: it's center or supply chained, whether it's for the holidays,

122
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 6: so you know, cargo and people are both being slowed

123
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 6: down here, and that's for safety's sake.

124
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: George, look at the way that let's let's back up.

125
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I want to I want to back up here just

126
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: just a moment, because what the Democrats have been doing

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: and sowing this chaos and discord really has been to

128
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: the detriment of taxpayers, of the voters citizens here in

129
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: the United States. We're talking about the shutdown, snap benefits.

130
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: We're going to get into more of this coming up,

131
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: but snap benefits hadn't gone out for individuals. This has

132
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: put a massive strain on food banks across the country

133
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: and especially here in Minnesota, cause a lot of frustration, concern,

134
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: worry among individuals that never needed to come to this.

135
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: And why well, because Democrats wanted to exploit the situation

136
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: to benefit them last week, so they had something that

137
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: they could point to in terms of electoral victories in

138
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of blue states. Again, they made much more

139
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: out of that, but they needed to because all of

140
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: the data shows that what they've been doing hasn't worked.

141
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: And what's taken place now with the shutdown and everything

142
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: that we'll dive into from over the weekend. With all

143
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: this confusion about Snap benefits, including what Bascent just mentioned

144
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: in her our GDP, this is again the long game.

145
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: As Andrew Langer was talking about last hour, the economy

146
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: is going to continue to struggle when the economic data

147
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: gets released in the future and there's negatives attached to

148
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: it because of the forty days of the government being

149
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: shut down. Do you really think the Democrats and the

150
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: legacy media are going to properly go and cover in

151
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: full context why those numbers are what they are. Of

152
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: course they're not. They'll just blame Trump. This is Trump's economy.

153
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: He did all of this. But keep in mind go

154
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: back to the ridiculous No King's protests and how just

155
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: the name in and of itself made no rational sense,

156
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: especially given that you had these activist judges looking to

157
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: the Trump administration wanting to force them to pay for

158
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: SNAP benefits, and the Trump administration basically say we can't

159
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: do that. Not very king like the judges tried to

160
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: make Trump act like a king, the ridiculous arguments from

161
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: protesters out on the streets, the pushback going back even

162
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: further to earlier in the year against Elon Musk, individuals

163
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: that were out just randomly vandalizing Tesla's over their anger

164
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: that Elon was involved in any way, shape or form

165
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: with this administration. It's all under the same mentality. I mean,

166
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: the easiest way to put it is that Trump derangement syndrome.

167
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: But it's the Democrats only play. It's to cause chaos,

168
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: to cause division, to try to trag down, to try

169
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: to drag down Trump. And it's polling numbers, Republicans polling numbers.

170
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: And this goes back to what I said before about

171
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: why I got on board with the filibuster because I

172
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: just do not trust Democrats were they to get back

173
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: into power, and to keep that from happening, we have

174
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: to go in shore up election integrity. One more final

175
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: point on this and we'll dive further into what's transpired

176
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: here in Minnesota regarding the confusion around the snap benefits.

177
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: But from this article from Fox nine, there is no

178
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: guarantee the Affordable Care Act subsidies would be extended if

179
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Republicans agree to a future vote on healthcare. That was

180
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: how Speaker Mike Johnson over the weekend, saying that he

181
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: will not commit to a healthcare vote. Some Republicans have

182
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: said that they are open to extending the COVID nineteen

183
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: air at tax credits, as premiums could skyrocket for millions

184
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: of people, but they also want new limits on who

185
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: can receive the subsidies and argue that the tax dollars

186
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: for the plans should be routed through individuals. And I'm

187
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: so tired of this argument. By the way, even with

188
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Republicans that do it, the premiums could skyrocket. We must

189
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: extend these tax credits, COVID nineteen air at tax credits. No,

190
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: it's returning the cost of the premiums back to where

191
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: they were pre COVID. I can't stand the fact that

192
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: there is just this blanket view assessment relating to anything

193
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to COVID benefits that were dispersed and

194
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: suddenly they end, and then people complain because they want

195
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: to keep getting the money. No, that money was for COVID.

196
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: The pandemic's been over for a while now, and you

197
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: and have Republicans that hop on board with it. Does

198
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: not do our side any favors at all. Speaking of

199
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: doing favors, the legacy media here in Minnesota certainly went

200
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: out of their way to try to paint Governor Walls

201
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: as being so kind, such a leader in the wake

202
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: of so much chaos, and funding these snap benefits to

203
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: restore them for tens of thousands of Minnesotans, even though

204
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: it was just because Walls is the governor. He didn't

205
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: really have anything specific to do with it, and the

206
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: states don't even have the ability to go and do

207
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: what they said that Governor Tim Walls was doing. I'll

208
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: break it all down next. We'll get to more of

209
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: your comments as well from the iHeartRadio app here on

210
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: Twin City's news talk Am eleven thirty and one oh

211
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: three five FM.

212
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 7: Oh fell for me and Prairie talk about being fake.

213
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 7: We know that you are actually John Justice's biggest fan.

214
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 7: You call him every day you leave talkbacks. We know

215
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 7: you do like to hear your voice over the radio waves.

216
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 8: Oh hell yeah.

217
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 7: Call all your friends and family and tell them to

218
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 7: listen to you because you know you're gonna be played.

219
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 3: John.

220
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 7: Can you do us a favor and drive feel crazy

221
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 7: and just not play his talkbacks?

222
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: Oh such a kinnun drum. I get this all the time.

223
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: I have people that love it when I play Phil's

224
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: talk well, I love. It's probably too strong of a word.

225
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I have people that enjoy it when I push back

226
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: on Phil's comments, people like Judy that don't want me

227
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: to play them. I like to hear the other side,

228
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: and they used to be a lot better. It's not

229
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: my fault. I would like better coach and arguments coming

230
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: from the other side of the political spectrum. But I

231
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: can't force anybody's anybody's hands, so I do agree with

232
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: the rest of your assessment, though I fully believe that's happening.

233
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Thank you Judy for the talkback. Twinsday's news talk Am

234
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: eleven thirty one on three five FM from the six

235
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: to five to one carpet Next Day install studios. So

236
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Governor Walls announces November snap of payments restored for Minnesotan's

237
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: There were multiple articles over the weekend touting as if

238
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Walls was personally funding out of his own bank account

239
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota snap payments. So this version heresy is just one

240
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: day after the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration

241
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: on withholding SNAPA as for Americans. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls

242
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: announced the funding has been restored. This funding used by children, seniors,

243
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: and people with disabilities to pay for food has been

244
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: in limbo since October. Restoring this funding took numerous court

245
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: rulings ordering the Trump administration to use the money they

246
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: have set aside for this very purpose to feed the hungry.

247
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: Wall set in a post which is really interesting because

248
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: Walls went and posted online later in the weekend, after

249
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: the longest shutdown in history, we're no closer to relief

250
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: for millions of Americans facing hikes in their healthcare bills

251
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: that they can't afford. This is a deeply disappointing result.

252
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Democrats cannot let Trump and his administration steamroll Congress into

253
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: cutting taxes for billionaires at the expense of working for people.

254
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: So which one is it? So does Walls want more shutdown?

255
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Which would means that people will continue to not get

256
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: their SNAP benefits, Because after the Watson administration moved forward

257
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: doing what the USDA had instructed, after those court rulings

258
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: attempted to force Trump to pay for these benefits, you

259
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: had the Supreme Court Justice Jackson Brown go, not the Singer,

260
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: go and put a hold on those court orders which

261
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: kept the states from going in funding SNAP. And she

262
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: only did that to continue to sow chaos in confusion

263
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: that was created by the activist judges that knew full

264
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: well exactly what they were doing in those court orders.

265
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: It's worse than an Abbott and Costello routine. For those

266
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: that are familiar, who's on first, I don't know third base.

267
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: So Minnesota says it can to the SNAP payments despite

268
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: the Trump demand, and I question whether or not these

269
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: payments have actually gone out. But here is the coverage

270
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: trying to get through all of this confusion from Fox

271
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: nine regarding the benefits in these judges' rulings. It is

272
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: pretty confusing.

273
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 9: And let's start with the Trump administration tonight demanding states

274
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 9: to undo SNAP benefits that were now already being paid out.

275
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 9: The confusion is with two different court rulings in two days.

276
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: Let's start with Thursday's ruling.

277
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 9: On that day, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration

278
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 9: to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for

279
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 9: this month instead of partially funding them. They had to

280
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 9: issue payments by Friday, But then the Trump administration filed

281
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 9: an emergency appeal. That same day, the Supreme Court granted

282
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 9: the Trump Administration's emergency appeal that temporarily blocked the Lower

283
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 9: courts Thursday order that issued full November SNAP payments. So

284
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 9: today the US Department of Agriculture demanded that the states

285
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 9: reverse those full SNAP benefit payments, and the State of

286
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 9: Minnesota sent us a statement that readson part Minnesota does

287
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 9: not have any mechanism for taking money back from SNAP recipients.

288
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: We also believe, by the way, which was the whole

289
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: reason why the judges went and ruled the way that

290
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: they did initially, and why Justice Brown went and stopped

291
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: those rulings, because it just ended up creating this mass

292
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: amount of chaos that Democrats can go and take advantage

293
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: of with posts online, videos that they're creating further narratives

294
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: trying to paint the Trump administration and Republicans as being

295
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: the ones that fault for all of this, when the

296
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: reality is, as we've been talking about, the Democrats could

297
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: have ended this forty weeks ago.

298
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 9: It would be unjusty gang back these funds that are

299
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 9: needed to feed families. Our teams are working to evaluate

300
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 9: the November eighth memo. Keep in mind, four hundred and

301
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 9: forty thousand Minnesotans receive SNAP benefits every month, and we'll

302
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 9: continue to follow this developing story live in the newsroom

303
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 9: Leon Purvis, Fox nine.

304
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know. Maybe and that's again the story

305
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: there from Fox nine. Maybe we should spend a little

306
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: bit of time focusing or at least our leaders should

307
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: on getting fewer people or I should say, getting people

308
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: off of snap benefit and having benefits and having fewer

309
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: people go and beyond Snap benefits. Oh man, here I

310
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: have doing a bit of the inflection there, do you

311
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: hear it? I know it's catching. You can call me

312
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: out on that, Sam if I do that, very just

313
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: that's very concerning. I do not want to be doing

314
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: that inflection, but I do the show, so it's really

315
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: enough in the day though. I know, yeah, I know

316
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: it's I know well, And I was being sarcastic, So

317
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, one could I could go I won being me.

318
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: I could go and argue that why I was doing

319
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: the voice intentionally, because I was being sarcastic, right, yeah, sure, okay,

320
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: coming up as I was saying, here's a further piece.

321
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota officials appalled following Trump administration's demand that states undo

322
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: the SNAP payouts. But again, the Trump administration was only

323
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: demanding that they undo the SNAP payouts because of the

324
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: liberal Supreme Court ruling pushing back on the activist judges

325
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 1: and what they did just a disaster. We have audio

326
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: from Senator Aaron Mayquaid and Peggy flanagain, both big mad

327
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: about this procedural vote to end the shutdown. And we

328
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: know they're big mad because they like to curse in

329
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: their videos online because it shows them as tough Democrats.

330
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: I'll share that with you. We'll get some more of

331
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: your talkbacks as well. Coming up on Twinesday's news talk A.

332
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: I'm eleven thirty and one O three five FM. What

333
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: are you doing, Democrats? iHeartRadio app.

334
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 10: It's very sad to hear that there's a half million

335
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 10: families taking Snap benefits in the state of Minnesota. These

336
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 10: are people that will continue to pull the lever for

337
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 10: the likes of Tim Wall's candidates, no matter how lousy

338
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 10: those candidates are. And it's those candidates that will continue

339
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 10: to want to triple, quadruple the number of people on

340
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 10: Snap benefits to guarantee they stay in power forever.

341
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of candidate's, Lisa Damith, who announced her gubernatorial campaign

342
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: last week, had her on the show on Wednesday morning.

343
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: I believe she's announced that she has tapped Ryan Wilson,

344
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: former candidate for state auditor, as her lieutenant governor pick.

345
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the first lieutenant govenor pick that we've

346
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: seen from our GOP candidates. I could be wrong on

347
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: that later on this week. As a matter of fact,

348
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the show, Adam Schwarzy will be joining us

349
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow running for Senate. He'll be in studio with the

350
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Davide Gartzenstein Ross on tomorrows show, and then we should

351
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: be talking with and I got to line up the

352
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: details further, but Philip Parrish, also running for governor, should

353
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: be on the show later on this week, possibly Thursday.

354
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 11: Four hundred and forty thousand people in Minnesota get snap.

355
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 11: Good lord, I was poor all through my twenties. I

356
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 11: never even considered it ridiculous.

357
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 12: Good morning, John, Barry and andover, and a big happy

358
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 12: birthday to all my brothers and sisters. The big two

359
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 12: five zero for the Marine Corps, help the FI do

360
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 12: or Die.

361
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that, Barry, and I very

362
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: much appreciate it. All right, let's break some of this down.

363
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm working off of a version here from Channel five.

364
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: So you had these judges make the rulings trying to

365
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: force the administration nonprofits. Democrat attorneys sued to forced Trump

366
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: to maintain the program for SNAP benefits. Then on Friday night,

367
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: you had Justice Katanji Brown Jackson temporarily pausing the two

368
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: rulings ordering the SNAP disbursement while the nation's highest court

369
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: considered the Trump administration's appeal. That led the Department of

370
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Agriculture on Saturday to write state SNAP directors to warn

371
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: them that it now consinders the payments under prior orders unauthorized.

372
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: And gee, why would she do that? I kept completing

373
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: her name right by the way, Jackson Brown, Brown Jackson,

374
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: And why would she do that? Because it caused mass confusion.

375
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: And that's what Democrats are trying to exploit. And this

376
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: is the Trump administration following the rules, not very king like,

377
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: like a king wouldn't bother with any of this. But

378
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: here you had the judges move forward saying, hey, you

379
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: got to fund this. The administration appealed because they know

380
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: there's no mechanism in order to make this happen. But

381
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: given that was the fact, you had the USDA move

382
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: forward and say, hey, you need to go and fund SNAP.

383
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: A judge said, so so the States went and moved

384
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: forward and funding it, and then you had Justice Jackson

385
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: and go and put a pause on that. And now

386
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats are saying, look at what they've done. They've

387
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: taken away people's SNAP. No, it was the Supreme Court

388
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: that ended up doing that. Patrick Penn, Deputy Undersecretariat of Agriculture, said,

389
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: to the extent states sent full SNAP payment files for

390
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty, twenty twenty five, this was unauthorized. Accordingly,

391
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: states must immediate undo any steps taken to issue full

392
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: SNAP benefits for November of twenty twenty five. And again

393
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: I question, typically do SNAP benefits go out between the

394
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: tenth and the fourteenth. So we're in the you know,

395
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: the window hadn't even opened yet, So I question whether

396
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: or not any payments in the very small period of

397
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: time in which they could have been issued, even you know,

398
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: I question whether any checks or authorizations through bank accounts

399
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: were even produced. US Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska on

400
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: Sunday called the directive shocking if it applies to states

401
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: like hers that use their own money to prop up

402
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: the program. It's one thing if the federal government is

403
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: going to continue its level of appeal through the courts

404
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: to say no, this can't be done. But when you're

405
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: telling states that have said this is a significant enough

406
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: issue in our state, we're going to find real sources,

407
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: backfill or front load, whatever term you want to help

408
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: our people, those states should not be penalized. Sure, but

409
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: blame Democrats. They're the one that caused all this confusion. Wisconsin,

410
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: for example, they loaded benefits onto cards for seven hundred

411
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: thousand residents. Wants a judge in Rhode Island order the

412
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: restoration of benefits last week, but after the US Secretary

413
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: froze its reimbursements to the state, it anticipates running out

414
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: of money by today. Democrat Governor Tony Evers warned in

415
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: a lengthy statement on Sunday the lack of money could

416
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: leave vendors unpaid and trigger escalating legal claims. The states

417
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: warned states could face demands to return hundreds of millions

418
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: of dollars in the aggregate. The states, filing at the

419
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: First A Circuit Court of Appeals, says the situation would

420
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: risk catastrophic operational disruptions for states, with a consequent cascade

421
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: of harms for their residents. He resitioned a quick response

422
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: to the Trump Administration's demand to undo payment, saying no,

423
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: so now they don't want to follow the law. Governor

424
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: Wes Moore of Maryland set in an interview with CBS on

425
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Sunday that in the past six days, we've received four

426
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: different measures of guidance from the Trump administration. He fumed

427
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: over the latest to threatened to punish the states that

428
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: paid the full benefits, but again it was guidance from

429
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: the Trump administration because of these activist judges and then

430
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court Justice Brown ended up doing, they

431
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: just caused a tremendous amount of chaos, of which now

432
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: you have Democrats that are responding. So, as I mentioned before,

433
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: Walls said, this was a deeply disappointing results. Democrats cannot

434
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: let the Trump administration steamroll Congress into cutting taxes for

435
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: billionaires at the expense of working people. Even though over

436
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: the weekend he went to issue the snap benefits and

437
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: talked about how awful it was that the shutdown was continuing,

438
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: and now apparently he wants more shut down because of

439
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: Democrats in his own party that have turned away from

440
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: individuals like him. Again, make it make sense. DFL party

441
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: chair Richard Carlbaum wrote, Republicans are hell bent on increasing

442
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: your healthcare costs thanks to Brad Finstead, Tom Emmer, and

443
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Pete Stauber, As Rangers would say, Pete f off. Although

444
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: he didn't use f he used the full word there,

445
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: because again, that makes Democrats seem tough. Like Senator Aaron mcwade.

446
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 13: I don't generally make videos with advice for national Democrats

447
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 13: because I the ones that I talk to that i'm close,

448
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 13: that I can influence, like I tell them, probably, and

449
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 13: then the ones that I could like talk to in

450
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 13: the public, they don't give you.

451
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: What i'd say.

452
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 7: But I will say that if we did a whole.

453
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 13: Shut down to extend the ACA subsidies and then all

454
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 13: you get is a promise to take a vote on it,

455
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 13: that's insane, Like it's actually insane. So I don't know,

456
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 13: like not groundbreaking, but what.

457
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: The boy that was so deep? She really just got

458
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: to the heart of the matter, didn't she. Lieutenant Governor

459
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: and Senate candidate Peggy flan again weighed in on the

460
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: issue as well.

461
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 14: Hey, so the fact that a handful of Democratic senators

462
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 14: just walked away from a fight we were winning to

463
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 14: keep healthcare costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans and

464
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 14: capitulating to Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.

465
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: Here again, the premiums are only rising because Democrats put

466
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: a sunset clause in for the Obamacare subsidies that were

467
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: tied to COVID, which would return the subsidies back to

468
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: the normal level. So yes, they're going to go up,

469
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: but it's because of what Democrats did, and those funds

470
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: were never supposed to be permanent.

471
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 14: It sucks, and we deserve so much more, especially when

472
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 14: we saw victories up and down the ballot all across

473
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 14: the country.

474
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: People were with.

475
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 14: Us, and then this is not okay. So it is

476
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 14: time for you to pick your fighter and pick accordingly,

477
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 14: because we deserve so much more than this boot.

478
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: Pick your fighter, guys, I know, I don't There was

479
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: this Mortal Kombat. I was a Street Fighter fan myself.

480
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. They both applied, right, and

481
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: the joke plat applies to Bull Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Okay, okay,

482
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure you know, because that's

483
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: the most important thing about the show. Gotta make sure

484
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: I get the references right. Yeahs BS guys, again, such

485
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: fantastic commentary coming from the progressive wing of the Minnesota

486
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: DFL MSNBC. Let's go here. Democrat Representative Brendan Boyle said

487
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: he was completely perplexed after eight Democrats voted to reopen

488
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: the government. Here's what he had to say.

489
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 15: Pennsylvania Congress and Boyle, thanks so much. I saw your

490
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 15: statement on this deal such as it is. I think

491
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 15: you said you were a hell no on the deal.

492
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 15: You know, no way to sugarcoat it. I guess can

493
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 15: you explain how you interpret why this deal came together

494
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 15: now a few days after this blowout election where Democrats

495
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 15: seem to be taking a victory lap, well literally taking

496
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 15: a victory lap, or at least had a victory. Why

497
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 15: now would Democrats in the Senate decide to lay down

498
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 15: their arms, you know, potentially end this shutdown when the

499
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 15: terms that are being offered by Republicans don't seem to

500
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 15: have changed.

501
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 5: I can't explain it because, to be frank to me,

502
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 5: it makes.

503
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely no sense.

504
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 5: I am completely perplexed by today's developments, or really the

505
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: developments of the last few hours. On Tuesday, we essentially

506
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: had the proof that the American people overwhelmingly were on

507
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 5: the Democrats side of this argument. Poles have been showing

508
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: for weeks, over a month, that a pretty large number

509
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 5: of Americans were with us. But people always question about

510
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: the validity of polls.

511
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Where here we.

512
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 5: Had on Tuesday the ultimate poll, and Democrats won everywhere.

513
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll take Pennsylvania for example, every competitive race

514
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 5: or race that thought was going to be competitive, we

515
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 5: won by double digits.

516
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: We won in Clearfield County.

517
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: A place that had not elected a Democrat in over

518
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 5: a decade, and that Donald Trump had carried by more

519
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 5: than fifty points. That's how sweeping the victory was on Tuesday.

520
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 5: So it's pretty clear that we went to the polls

521
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 5: the American people understood that Republicans were making their costs

522
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 5: go up, that Democrats were fighting to bring costs down

523
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 5: and fighting to save the healthcare of the American people.

524
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: And now all of a sudden, after this big victory,

525
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 5: it's the Democratic side, or at least enough Democrats in

526
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 5: the Senate that are essentially caving again.

527
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 7: It just makes no.

528
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: Sense to me.

529
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: Congressman. There was you know, blue people one in blue states, shocking,

530
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: and yes the margins were significant, but again blue candidates

531
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: won in blue states at a time when the Democrats

532
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: have been effective at going and angering their base to

533
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: get individuals out to vote, and Trump wasn't on the ballot.

534
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: That was the whole purpose. Speaking of which, let's go

535
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: back to the iHeartRadio app Good Morning John.

536
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 16: The reason why there was a blue wave was because

537
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 16: simple Trump hasn't followed through with what he promised that

538
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 16: a middle class in his campaign. There has been no

539
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 16: mass deportations.

540
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: We stop here really quick. First off, what's your definition

541
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: of a blue wave Democrats winning in blue states. Secondly,

542
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: you're really going to show your ignorance that quickly out

543
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: of the gate with your comment relating to deportations. There's

544
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: been half a million people that have been deported. It's

545
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: only November. Trump's barely been in office for a year less,

546
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: so in terms of what Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has

547
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: been doing across the country on top of massive pushback,

548
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: and yet they've still been successful at deporting some five

549
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two thousand individuals. So the prices are

550
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: still skyrocketing. Yeah, inflation is still high. We're still dealing

551
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: with the ramifications of what transpired during the Biden administration

552
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: on top of the fact that the shutdown has done

553
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: nothing relating to the economy any sort of good whatsoever.

554
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: But let's go ahead and continue with your commentary here.

555
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 16: Food prices are still skyrocketing, insurance is high, taxes are high,

556
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 16: We're still involved sending too much money to Israel and Ukraine,

557
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 16: and only big corporations got the tax break. People aren't dumb.

558
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's got as he had his checklist there,

559
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: he just basically marked off all the different Democrat talking

560
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: talking points there. Thank you so much for the comment

561
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio. I appreciate it.

562
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 17: Good morning, John, great show with always question for you.

563
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 17: Unless I'm mistaken, Justice Brown Jackson is fairly progressive. How

564
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 17: bad does your oppollet court really have to be for

565
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 17: Justice Brown Jackson to overturn it and say it doesn't apply.

566
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: That's just crazy.

567
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: Sure, But she also did an intentionally knowing what end

568
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: up causing the chaos that it caused over the weekend.

569
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: And Justice Brown is merely an extension of the irrational

570
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. She is the Supreme Court justice version of

571
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: an individual walking down the street that sees at tesla

572
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: and then decides they're going to go and vandalize it.

573
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: She just happens to be sitting on the United States

574
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: Supreme Court.

575
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 18: Good morning, everybody. I think that Senator and the clip

576
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 18: you just played was sought on the vote doesn't make

577
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 18: any sense. And that's the standard of the Democratic Party.

578
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 18: Nothing ever makes sense. It's the party of hypocrisy. Say

579
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 18: one thing, do the other, promise something, take it back.

580
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 16: It's textbook and.

581
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: Two Bobs, you know, real quick and too Bob's talkback

582
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: that we played just a moment ago where he was

583
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: going through his checklist of all the negatives to say

584
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: about Trump. Let's go here.

585
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 8: Did you know that since Trump has taken offense once again,

586
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 8: that they've thrown off over seven hundred thousand SNAP recipients

587
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 8: because of them being illegal or not qualified, and in

588
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 8: the process they've also arrested one hundred and eighteen individuals.

589
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: The more, you know, nice call back to Friday. So

590
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: let me get this straight.

591
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 19: Off your elections, which have very poor turnout historically, and

592
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 19: Democrats winning in Democrat districts, that's historic wins.

593
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 12: Give me a break.

594
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 19: Show me where they swept Republican districts where the Democrat

595
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 19: won and shouldn't have won. Then maybe I get concerned

596
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 19: this is a joke.

597
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: Those handful of Democrats that have turned against Schumer on

598
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: this procedural vote to go and reopen the government. They're

599
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: just providing cover for the other Democrats potentially vulnerable in

600
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: their own districts, where they can now go back and say, look,

601
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: we did the right thing, while at the same time

602
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: getting members of the Democrat Party the ability to go

603
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: and get angry for doing what they did. Minnesota Senators

604
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: Amy Klobashar and Tina Smith not among the a Democrats

605
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: who approved the Sunday night motion. Both lawmakers issued statements

606
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday night opposing the deal to reopen the government.

607
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: As they cast and they votes, so I guess they

608
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: also do not want the snap benefits to continue. Hello America,

609
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Klobshar, and I will beat Donald Trump. Amy said, well,

610
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is Smith. I will not support this

611
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their healthcare.

612
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bother with the rest of it.

613
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: I'll make it easier. You're fascinating to talk to. Amy said,

614
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: lowering costs is a top priority for Minnesotan's I voted

615
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: against this budget bill because it does not prevent health

616
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: insurance premiums from doubling for many in our state. Well,

617
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: maybe you should have sent a message to individuals on

618
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: Obamacare that the COVID subsidies were not going to last forever,

619
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: since both of these individuals voted to put the sunset

620
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: provision in those subsidies. So Tina Smith and Amy Klobashark
