1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: The State of the Union last night was everything that

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: we kind of anticipated it was going to be. And

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: what's interesting to me is how for those of us

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: that watch the news on a daily basis, like none

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: of what transpired was really all that new.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: You heard Joy read there.

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Failed CNN commentator, other Democrat losers, and we'll have examples

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: of this before and after last night's Stata of the

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Union speech and their reaction. President Donald Trump the longest

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: State of the Union on record last night calling the

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Democrats out in the middle of the speech is something

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: that we really haven't seen done before. But for a

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: lot of us, again, this is nothing new, but it

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: wasn't for you and me. It wasn't for those of

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: us that pay attention and watch what's going on. This

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: was for the casual observers, and because of that, it

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: was a really bad night for Democrats. Went throughout the

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: show this morning. Again, I have a lot of audio

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: to share today. We'll hear from Kamala Harris just briefly.

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I know I gave you a promise that I wouldn't

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: go and play her audio on the air, but I

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: do have just a brief clip of her a potential

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: run in twenty twenty eight is what she is hinting at. Also,

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: later on in the show regarding the legislative session, will

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: be joined by Luke Sprinkle from Alphinows. He'll give us

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: an update on what has transpired so far this week,

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and like I said in the seven o'clock hour, we

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: will get into the Democrats attempts to go and strip

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: away your gun rights as we sprinkling clips all night

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: long from last night to the State of the Union speech.

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: Hey, John, it's met conn in from courtside, Arizona. Hey,

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: what we saw last night was President Trump taking the

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Dems out to the woodshed and opening up a big

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: old can of whoop as on the Dems. It was glorious.

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: I want to start here.

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I've been holding onto this for a bid and we'll

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: really start diving into the State of the Union coming

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: up after six point thirty this morning. But there's a

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: peace out of study fines. America's political divide surged to

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: sixty four percent between twentsand and eight and twenty twenty,

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: but only one side grew more So, in a nutshell,

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: this is how the whole thing breaks down, and it

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: fits in nicely when we are looking at what was

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: said last night the Democrats reaction to President Donald Trump's comments,

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: The polarization surge was concentrated. American political polarization stayed relatively

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: flat from nineteen eighty eight to two thousand and eight,

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: and then, unsurprisingly, it surged sixty four percent between eight

48
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty. All of the growth happened in just

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: twelve years. One side moved further than the other. The

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: left leaning group shifted substantially further left, while the right

51
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: leaning group barely moved, contradicting the both sides getting extreme narrative.

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: And this was on full display yesterday with the Democrats

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: how they reacted to Trump's State of the Union the

54
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: comments made by President Donald Trump during that address, Every

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: issue became tribal. According to this analysis, abortion, healthcare, racial justice,

56
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: family values all became tightly bundled. Knowing someone's position on

57
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: one issue now predicts their stance on everything else, and

58
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: the divide may be reversible because polarization surged during specific

59
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: historical periods rather than gradually over decades. Understanding what drove

60
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: it could help address it now. I absolutely disagree with

61
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: that assessment. In the piece, it says, arguments and Thanksgiving

62
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: dinner feel more heated than ever. Your uncle who voted

63
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: one way can't fathom your cousin who voted another way.

64
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: They're not just disagreeing anymore, they're living completely different political realities.

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: Now.

66
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Interesting research, as I've just been sharing with you, reveals

67
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: this divide didn't creep up gradually. It surged rapidly during

68
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: a concentrated twelve year period. And this idea that we

69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: can actually turn back the clock on it, I just

70
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: don't think it's possible, given the way that we receive

71
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: our news, the echo chambers that are formed, and it's

72
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: going to require Democrats to make the change.

73
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 2: This is not about Republicans, as.

74
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: This study shows, and it's kind of what we've already

75
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: known for a long time. But now we have actual

76
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: numbers to go and look at that liberal shift coinciding

77
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: with the rise in the Internet social media. It makes

78
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: perfect sense. It's it ald adage. It's the more I eat,

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: the more depressed I get. The more depressed I get, the.

80
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: More I eat.

81
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: The party quite literally radicalized itself to the place that

82
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: we are today, and this was on full display last

83
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: night in the reaction before and after and during President

84
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's State of the Union speech. I want to

85
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: hear from you throughout the show this morning, give us.

86
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: A congressional district.

87
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: Guess, thank you, thank you, And tonight I defy Trump

88
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: and he has authoritarian project by standing in joyful radical,

89
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: peaceful resistance with.

90
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 5: The Portland Front Brigade.

91
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: So that was.

92
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Another Democrat counter event last night to Trump's State of

93
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: the Union. So I don't know who this representative was, but.

94
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 6: She's standing up on stage, she's behind the podium, and

95
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 6: she's surrounded by the Portland Frog Brigade, which was close

96
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 6: to a dozen people in.

97
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Massive frog costumes. It was wild to watch all this

98
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: transpire yesterday. None of it that's surprising. But again it's

99
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: not important for you and me. We know all of this.

100
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: What we got last night was kind of a condensed

101
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: snapshot of what we typically see on a daily basis

102
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: between Republicans and Democrats, except this time around. This is

103
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: when the casual individuals end up paying more attention than

104
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: they have before. And this is what I want to

105
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: get into as we talk about the State of the

106
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Union and play more of your comments, your talk backs

107
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: from the iHeartRadio app. Those are brought to you by

108
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Lindahl realtya here on Twin City's news talk Am eleven

109
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: thirty and one oh three five FM. Now, before we

110
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: do that, I got a couple of other items I.

111
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: Want to dive into.

112
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: First Off, former Vice President Kamala Harris ended up hinting

113
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: yesterday at a possible return to the presidential campaign trail

114
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, saying that she might throw her

115
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: hat into the ring in what's likely to be a

116
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: crowded Democratic primary race. Okay, I know I'm probably on

117
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: an island here, but is it too much to ask

118
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: for a Kamala and Walls redo? I mean, especially if

119
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: they're going up against jd Vance and whoever he would

120
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: pick to run and hit as his VP. I mean,

121
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: if anything, Kamala Harris and Walls could save money on

122
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: their merchandise. I'm assuming they still hell have it stored somewhere, right,

123
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: So a Kamala and Walls again, I know him on

124
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the island here, so don't at me when you leave

125
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: a talk back. Harris spoke with podcast hosts and author

126
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Sharon McMahon.

127
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Who are all these people?

128
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: By the way, Like I feel like when I this

129
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: and I see they're on a podcast with somebody like

130
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: should I know who that is?

131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: Never heard of this person before?

132
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: She was as point blank whether she planned after bowing

133
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: out of the twenty twenty primary before the first to vote,

134
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: and then losing in spectacular fashion, to return to a

135
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: run for the presidency a third time. This is what

136
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: she had to say.

137
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: Will you run again? I haven't decided. You're still thinking

138
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: about it?

139
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: I might.

140
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've been saying.

141
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 8: That's what I closed the book and I'm like, oh,

142
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 8: she wants to She's just thinking about it about it?

143
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 8: If that was my impression. I don't know if that's

144
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 8: what you intended, but that was my impression.

145
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 9: Now, the book is about a specific period in time.

146
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 9: There was no agenda beyond what we've discussed already, which

147
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 9: is just sharing with people, you know, the reality of

148
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 9: the experience and hopefully allowing people to see some of them.

149
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: So was she selling books?

150
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: And selling books is hard, So of course she's going

151
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: to say that she's thinking about it because that could

152
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: potentially sell another copy or two.

153
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Just as a quick reminder, by the way.

154
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: The best pod awake in up is no Wikramala Last drum. Now,

155
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: speaking of that, twenty twenty eight presidential race, early polls,

156
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: according to CNN chief Dana Data analysts to Harry Inton,

157
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: have not been kind, especially to Kamala Harris. He told

158
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: a host to John Berman that Harris, polling in just

159
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: eighteen percent second to Gavin Newsom, was in a precarious

160
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: position if she intended to drop into the Democrat primary.

161
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Here's a little bit more of some polling that's been

162
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: done recently by by CNN.

163
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: So see Governor Newsom.

164
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 10: He's got a book, I think, which actually publishes today.

165
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: He's in the middle of the fray of possible.

166
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 10: So what are the polls that, Yeah, they're all running

167
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 10: and this is just a downright clown car at this

168
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 10: point on the Democratic side, I mean, just take a

169
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 10: look here top choices for the twenty twenty eight dem

170
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 10: pres nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really

171
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 10: a clear leader. It's within the margin area of Newsim

172
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 10: at nineteen percent. Then you have former Vice president Kamala

173
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 10: Harris at eighteen percent. Quite a weak number for her,

174
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 10: given that, of course she was the nominee last time around.

175
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: People to judge.

176
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 10: Who, of course has run before thirteen percent. Alexandio Acasio

177
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 10: Cortez at twelve percent. This is just a total clown car.

178
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 10: It is a total mess. There is no clear front

179
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 10: runner at this particular point on the Democratic side. Who

180
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 10: the heck knows who the nominee is going to be

181
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,239
Speaker 10: in three two years.

182
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: It's been a.

183
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 10: Long time lets we've had a Democratic race like this, Yeah,

184
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 10: it has been a long time. This is very unusual

185
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 10: for the Democratic side to not have a clear front

186
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 10: runner at this point national early pole leader at least

187
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 10: twenty five percent. Look at this this year we get

188
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 10: the giant question mark no one, no.

189
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: One, no one, no one.

190
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 10: In twenty twenty one, there was no incumbent. It was

191
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 10: Joe Biden who was there, Hillary Clinton in both eight

192
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 10: and sixteen, and Al gorm both two thousand and two

193
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 10: thousand and four. At this point where at least at

194
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 10: twenty five percent of the early quest you have to.

195
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 11: Go all the way back, all the way.

196
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 10: Back from when I wasn't even in elementary school yet,

197
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 10: not even in pre k yet to nineteen hundred and

198
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 10: ninety two. That was the last cycle in which there

199
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 10: was no clear front runner at this point.

200
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Very unusual.

201
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Now we're still a long ways away as we have

202
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: plenty of time to talk about twenty twenty eight, and

203
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: we will get into last night's State of the Union address.

204
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Trump hales a turnaround for the ages in a record

205
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: breaking State of the Union address last night. And I

206
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: want to hear from you throughout the show this morning,

207
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Justice at iHeartRadio dot com, and of course we have

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a talkback on the iHeartRadio app. We'll get to those

209
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: throughout the show this morning here on Twin City's News Talk.

210
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: I really want to.

211
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 12: Thank the Democrats for showing their hand last night, showing

212
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 12: with a bunch of pathetic.

213
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: Whiny little children.

214
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 12: They are heavy in temper tantrum, but I really want

215
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 12: to thank you for showing you stand for illegal aliens

216
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 12: and not for the American.

217
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: Forty We'll get to forty seven on Friday. We do

218
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: have a chance for a little light snow and it

219
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: will be a lot colder through the weekend.

220
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm me a urologist, Sean Cable on Twin Cities News

Speaker 2: And iHeart Radio Station. Oh, I'm a mother I.

226
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: Am a physician, and I have a flag, and I

227
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: am the proud representative for Oregon's third Congressional district. Yes,

228
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: thank you, thank you, And tonight I defy Trump and

229
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: He's authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance

230
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 4: with the Portland Front Brigade.

231
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 13: We're going in the Portland Fried Brigade. Who I picture

232
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 13: hurling buckets of confetti like clowns at a parade. Well,

233
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 13: I may not agree with all of Trump's policies or tactics,

234
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 13: I'd like to think we can all agree that if

235
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 13: you're able to publicly declare you live under authoritarian rule

236
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 13: and not find yourself immediately abducted and imprisoned, then you

237
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 13: are not living under authoritarian rule. The ignorance of these

238
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 13: people is absolutely stunning.

239
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Thank you.

240
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Friend of the show, Tom's Twin City's News Talk Am

241
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: eleven thirteen, one of three five FM streaming worldwide on

242
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Your talkback's brought to you by Lindahl Realty.

243
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump used his State of the Union addressed

244
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: to declare that America has staged what he called one

245
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest comebacks in modern history, telling lawmakers in

246
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the nation that after just one year back in office,

247
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: the country is experiencing a turnaround for the ages.

248
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: So let's start here yesterday.

249
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of transpire, some of this about the

250
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: state of the Union leading into it, some of it not.

251
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Other things that we are now awaiting this week, including

252
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: a decision with a military build up overseas on whether

253
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: or not we are going to launch an attack preemptive

254
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: or a large strike to help in regime change in

255
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: that region.

256
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Earlier in the day.

257
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary was outside of the White House

258
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: and she was asked about this.

259
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Caroline E. Levitt, here is what she I had to say.

260
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 14: But what the United States is doing to ensure that

261
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 14: not only America is the safest country in the world,

262
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 14: but remains the strongest country in the world.

263
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: Is just ligary raw of the rest of the raw.

264
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 14: Well, look, Iran chance death to America. So you tell

265
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 14: me if that's a threat, Elena.

266
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

267
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: And this is something that gets brought up by a

268
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: lot of individuals when we talk about why are we

269
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: doing what we're doing in Iran. We have an opportunity

270
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: now pace through strength, similar to what we did in Venezuela,

271
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: to do the same thing and ran and most of

272
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: the analysts right now are saying it's not a matter

273
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: of if, but when President Donald Trump makes those moves.

274
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: Now.

275
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Clearly, with the State of the Union taking place last night,

276
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: I was not expecting any action yesterday. But now the

277
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: State of the Union is over, we'll see what transpires

278
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: in the next forty eight to some odd hours, as

279
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: most are saying that the assets that we've been waiting

280
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: to arrive in the region are now all there, just

281
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: waiting for the go word. Last night, though, during this

282
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: record break breaking in length State of the Union address,

283
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump painted a picture of renewed strength at

284
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: home and abroad, arguing that decisive leadership and pro growth

285
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:45,359
Speaker 1: policies have reversed what he described as years of decline.

286
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: All of the Democrat responses that I have seen so far,

287
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: even pre State of the Union post, they've all been

288
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: essentially the same. It's consisted of liberals telling people not

289
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: to believe what they are going to see, not to

290
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: believe what they are going to hear, over and over again.

291
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: The commentary that I saw before and after from the

292
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: left was this is what.

293
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear.

294
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: But it's a lie. This is what you heard, but

295
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: it's all a lie. It is the alternative universe that

296
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Democrats are so desperate for their base of supporters to

297
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: go and live in. And I just do not think

298
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: that this is a winning message for them. We are

299
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: all aware of this. We pay attention to what's going

300
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: on on a daily basis. Most people don't. Most people

301
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: tune in during major events. It's akin to individuals who

302
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: go to church just a few times a year, whether

303
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: it's Easter or whether it's Christmas. They believe in God,

304
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: but they really don't practice that all that much.

305
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: The same thing rings true.

306
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: The best example I can give is what doomed Joe

307
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Biden and brought about the Kamala Harris and Walls ticket

308
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: in that June twenty seventh debate those few years ago.

309
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: We all kind of sat back and went, why is

310
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: everybody now just paying attention to what's been going on.

311
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: We've known that Joe Biden's been a mess for a

312
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: long time now, Well, everybody else wasn't aware of this

313
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: because they weren't paying attention. And last night Trump did

314
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: a fantastic job. Well, the Democrats made themselves look like

315
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of clowns. Speaking of which, Angie Craig press

316
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: conference with other leftists had this to say ahead of

317
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's State of the Union, and.

318
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 15: I'll just in with this, I would rather stick forks

319
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 15: in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to

320
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 15: Donald Trump talk about the State of the Union. But

321
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 15: this is the people's House and I will not abandon

322
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 15: the people's house.

323
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: What is it with Democrats waiting to do damage to themselves?

324
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: We got Angie Craig wanting to put forks in her eyes, and.

325
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 15: I'll just in with this, I would rather stick forks

326
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 15: in my eyes than be here tonight listen to Donald Trump.

327
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: And then we had Governor Tim Walls wanting to eat

328
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: glass just a couple of weeks ago.

329
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 12: The context was Eric asked me if I would like

330
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 12: to fill out.

331
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 10: Senator klobasharf senate term, and I said I would rather

332
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 10: eat glass than do that, So that was an option.

333
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: Well, good afternoon, everybody.

334
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: Can we co op what used to be a talking

335
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: point left versus right of Republicans are weird? It was

336
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: gas lighting all along. It's the Democrats that are weird.

337
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: Let's go here to the iHeartRadio app.

338
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 7: Good morning, John Rick and Virginia. I think we're too

339
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 7: polarized as a country to.

340
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 11: Ever go back to any sort of stability.

341
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 16: That we once had.

342
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: A look count.

343
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 7: Receipted Pale was screaming over the President while he's talking.

344
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 7: Look up some of the.

345
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 16: Buttons they wore on their lapels.

346
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 7: It's disgraceful. You would have never seen that in the sixties, seventies, eighties,

347
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 7: or even the nineties. But this is who they become,

348
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 7: and there's no turning back for them. They've doubled down

349
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 7: on what they want this country to be, total socialist

350
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 7: at any and to.

351
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: That point, here is the audio from that moment where Ilhan,

352
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Omar and Rashida to leave were unraveling, screeching, raging out

353
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: as President Donald Trump declares the US government should be

354
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: should put Americans first before illegal aliens, and.

355
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 11: You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.

356
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself.

357
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 11: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly

358
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 11: sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties

359
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 11: for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens.

360
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 11: In many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country.

361
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 11: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country.

362
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 11: And you should be ashamed.

363
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: Of your saying. It's literally World War three.

364
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 17: It's psychological warfare set on by the Internet. It's for

365
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 17: control of our minds and our souls. This is the

366
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 17: purpose of the Great Awakening.

367
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump last night.

368
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: Continued comments similar to what you just heard about the

369
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: way the Democrats were acting.

370
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 11: So tonight, I'm inviting every legislature to join with my

371
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 11: administration and reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with

372
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 11: this statement, then stand up and show your support. The

373
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 11: first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens.

374
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: Not illegal area.

375
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: The President made affordability the centerpiece of his economic message.

376
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: He noted that rising prices.

377
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: Is squeeze families before returning to office, credited the regulation,

378
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: tax relief, and expanded domestic energy production for driving down

379
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: the costs. Spotlighted falling gas prices as a visible sign

380
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: of the change taking place. He pledged to lower rates

381
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: regarding mortgages protect home values, saying we want to protect

382
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: these values.

383
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: We want to keep those values up. We're going to

384
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: do both.

385
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: He capped his economic case by noting the market performance

386
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: the stock market has said a fifty three year all

387
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: time high since his election. Here's more of what the

388
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: President had to say last night, specifically with the way

389
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats were acting before, during, and after of the

390
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: State of the Union.

391
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 11: But surely we can all agree no state can be

392
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 11: allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition

393
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 11: them to a new gender against the parents.

394
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: Will who would believe that we've been talking about.

395
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 11: We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately.

396
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: Of course, nobody says up. These people are crazy.

397
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 11: Boy boy, We're lucky we have a country with people

398
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 11: like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped

399
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 11: it just in the nick of time. To the.

400
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: Lord to John Quick, I asked you a question.

401
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 10: Of what's with Democrats always wanting to hurt themselves?

402
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: Two words betel illness. They are all bettlely ill. Just

403
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: look what they do, you say, Gilbard, have a good day, Hey,

404
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: good morning guys.

405
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 18: John Tom says that he is surprised that these people

406
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 18: don't know what real authoritarians are. Tom, how could you

407
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 18: possibly be surprised? They have been putting their idiocy on

408
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 18: display for so many years now. It is as true

409
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 18: to them as the sun comes up, that they have

410
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 18: no idea what they're talking about, and until the Bright

411
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 18: decides to go after those who teach them this garbage,

412
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 18: we're going to keep having these little arguments.

413
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 10: You know.

414
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't disagree, but at the same time, I also

415
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: understand where Tom is coming from. I had an interesting

416
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: exchange during my appearance at the BPO meeting earlier this week,

417
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: and I was talking about that now viral clip of

418
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Representative Walter Badson talking about the insurrectionist mentality of those

419
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: that were going and taking to the streets to get

420
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: in a way and obstruct the actions of Ice, and

421
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: just how it triggered so many of those individuals on

422
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: the left, whether it's in the middle of when he

423
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: made the statement or afterwards with that video being shared everywhere,

424
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: And I was juxtaposing that with the lack of commentary

425
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: and coverage relating to the over the top and really

426
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: grotesque comments from Representative Lee Finkey attempting to go and

427
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: defend keeping the ability of underage children to access adult

428
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: material legal, not putting in safeguards or individual rules where

429
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: children need to go improve their age. Anybody has to

430
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: go improve their age before accessing adult material. And the

431
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: point that I made was that you know, there's silence

432
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: on the left when it comes to Lee Finkey's comments.

433
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: They won't say anything, but of course they're going to

434
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: go after what Walter Hudson said, which wasn't nearly as egregious.

435
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: And the comment that I made was there are people

436
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: on the left.

437
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: That don't agree with Thinkye.

438
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: They know that that's gross and wrong and disgusting and

439
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: vile and lacking in morality, but they're silenced because of

440
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: their own party.

441
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: And there was a friend of the show in the audience.

442
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: Who said, well, I, you know, I don't think that

443
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: that really is the case. You know, I think that

444
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: most Democrats agree with Lee Thinky in his comments, and

445
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination. This is the point I

446
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: wanted to make to what the talkback was saying to

447
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: friends of the show Tom, and Tom's saying that he's surprised.

448
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: First off, we speak this way in generalities, you know,

449
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: all the time, so Tom's comments aren't all that surprising.

450
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: But at the same time, even though we don't agree

451
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: on policy, even though we don't agree on ideology, there

452
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: are Democrats, and we've seen this in times past, who

453
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: are more than willing to call out evil when they

454
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: see it. They don't agree with allowing this access for miners,

455
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: but they're too afraid to speak up because they're going

456
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: to get shunned by their own party. So when Tom

457
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: goes and makes a comment that he's surprised, I think

458
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: what he's speaking to.

459
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: And I won't put words in Tom's mouth, but he's.

460
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Speaking to those individuals on the left who don't speak out,

461
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: who don't agree with what their own party has become,

462
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: because they're too afraid to go and do so. And

463
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: of course this is something that trips up Republicans so

464
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: often because they do call out each other as a

465
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: matter of fact. And we'll talk about this with Luke

466
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Sprinkle when he joins the show for alf News coming

467
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: up at eight thirty this morning. But there's a new

468
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: freedom of Caucus, a GOP freedom Caucus in the legislature, and.

469
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: It's a good thing.

470
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: It's modeled after the Congressional Free to Caucus. You know

471
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: that has made a lot of waves and also done

472
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of good of advancing conservatism in DC. But

473
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: I can tell you firsthand, and I'll keep individuals anonymous.

474
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Not all Republicans are happy about this. Not all Republicans

475
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: are on board with this Freedom Caucus, not because they

476
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: disagree with the caucus, but because they kind of feel like, well,

477
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: if I'm not a part of that, am I not

478
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: conservative enough? And I just give you that example, because

479
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: this is where Republicans, and I appreciate this, are willing

480
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: to go and disagree, but often it's to our own

481
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: detriment because we picker and fight, and unfortunately a lot

482
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: of people get turned off from politics and don't want

483
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: to get involved. And that's the last thing that we

484
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: need right now heading into the elections later on this year.

485
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the iHeartRadio app Good.

486
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 19: Morning, John rollic compartments say, I can't wait to hear

487
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 19: the announcement of Angie Craig sticking forksner eyes while Tim

488
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 19: Walls is eating glass. Order will tolevise that, m all right,

489
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 19: actual later by.

490
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: They're just weird. I'm going to go back to that

491
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: they're weird.

492
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 13: All right.

493
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: During the State of the Union, President Donald Trump said

494
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: that he would be fighting fraud as a matter of fact,

495
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: zeroing in on Minnesota, saying that there is corruption plundering

496
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: the state and that vice President jd Vance and Trump

497
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: would lead the war on fraud to stop it.

498
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say.

499
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 11: This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric

500
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 11: of a nation, and we are working on it like

501
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 11: you wouldn't believe. So tonight, although started four months ago,

502
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 11: I am officially announcing.

503
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: The War on fraud, to be led.

504
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 11: By our great Vice President JD. Vance. We'll get it done,

505
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 11: and we're able to find enough of that fraud we

506
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 11: will actually have a balanced budget overnight.

507
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: It'll go very quickly.

508
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: Now, this was great messaging for Minnesota. The DFL is

509
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: desperately trying to keep immigration as the front and center

510
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: as the focus heading into the elections later this year. Well,

511
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: Republicans obviously are focused on fraud. This is going to

512
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: be an ongoing problem. Immigration will be too. But Operation

513
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: Metro Search is all but over. But President Donald Trump

514
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: making the statement putting forward to war on fraud, singling

515
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: out Minnesota, it's a fantastic opportunity for the GOP to

516
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: shift and keep the narrative on fraud to the benefit

517
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: of hopefully victories the ballot box later on this year.

518
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: All Right, more from last night President Donald Trump roasting

519
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Democrats under Joe Biden and talking about the corrupt partners

520
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: in Congress.

521
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: This is what he had to say.

522
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: And you can't obviously see this because I'm playing audio,

523
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: but members of the Democrat Party, Hakeem Jeffries specifically looked

524
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: absolutely disgusted in the middle of when President Donald Trump

525
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: was making these comments.

526
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 11: For decades before I came along, we had the exact opposite.

527
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 11: From trade to healthcare, from energy to immigration, everything was

528
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 11: stolen and rigged in order to drain the wealth out

529
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 11: of the productive, hardworking people who make our country great,

530
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 11: who make our country run. Under Biden and his corrupt

531
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 11: partners in Congress and beyond, it reached a breaking point

532
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 11: with the Green News scam, open borders for everyone. They

533
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 11: poured in by the millions and millions from prisons, from

534
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 11: mental institutions. They were murderers, eleven eight hundred and eighty

535
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 11: eight murders.

536
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: They came into our country.

537
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 11: You allowed that to happen, and record setting inflation that

538
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 11: costs the typical family thirty four thousand dollars in just

539
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 11: a speck of time. Now, the same people in this

540
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 11: chamber who voted for those disasters suddenly used the word

541
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 11: affordability a word. They just used it to somebody gave

542
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 11: it to them, knowing full well that they caused and

543
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 11: created the increased prices that all of our citizens had

544
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 11: to endure.

545
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: You caused that problem. You caused that problem. They knew

546
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: their statements were a lie. They knew it.

547
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 11: They knew their statements were a dirty, rotten lie. Their

548
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 11: policies created the high prices. Our policies are rapidly ending them.

549
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 11: We are doing really well. Those prices are plummeting downward.

550
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: The price of eggs is down sixty percent. I'll help, Yeah, sure,

551
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: thank you.

552
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 11: Because of chicken, butterfruit, hotels, automobiles, rent is lower today

553
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 11: than when I took office, by lot, and even beef,

554
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 11: which was very high, is starting to come down significantly.

555
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 11: This hold on a little while, we get it down,

556
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 11: and soon you will see numbers that few people would

557
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 11: think were possible to achieve just a short time go.

558
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 11: Nobody can believe when they see the kind of numbers,

559
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 11: and especially energy, when they see energy going down to

560
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 11: numbers like that, they cannot believe it.

561
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: It's like another big tax cut.

562
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 11: I'm also confronting one of the biggest ripoffs of our times,

563
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 11: the crushing costs of healthcare caused by you since the

564
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 11: passage of.

565
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: Course President Donald Trump.

566
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: During the State of the Union last night, let's go

567
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: back to the iHeartRadio app your tompbacks brought to you

568
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: by Lyndall Realty.

569
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 20: Hey, John Jay Rosemond again. You know all this screaming

570
00:31:53,280 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 20: by liberals and all of this protesting everything from me

571
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 20: of some years ago there was what we called the

572
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 20: participation trophy crowd. This is what you get when everybody

573
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 20: gets a participation trophy and then you don't get one

574
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 20: just for showing up. You start to scream and throw

575
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 20: a tantrum.

576
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 16: John, did you notice that when it panned over the

577
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 16: camera over to the Democrat Party that before anybody stood

578
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 16: up or clapped for the one or two times they did,

579
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 16: they all had to look around to see if the

580
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 16: others were going to do it or not. What a

581
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 16: bunch of damn sheep.

582
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: Get a brain for yourselves, left.

583
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: I am really glad that everything transpired the way that

584
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: it did yesterday. This really does present the perfect opportunity

585
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: for Republicans later on this year. I cannot stress enough

586
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: that while you and I watching this shake our heads,

587
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: don't understand and why are they acting this way, same old,

588
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: same old, or thinking it's not going to make a difference.

589
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Last night was not for you. This was for the

590
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: individuals who only tune in a couple times a year,

591
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to what's going on, and what they

592
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: got was a condensed, amplified version of what we see

593
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: and what we talk about here on Twin City's News

594
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: Talk on a daily basis. It's a fantastic opportunity. I'll

595
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: have more from President Donald Trump in the State of

596
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: the Union from last night, including Rashida t Leeb appearing

597
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: to chant KKK during Trump's State of the Union, and

598
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: then we will turn our attention over to how the

599
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Democrats attempting, although not getting very far at least on

600
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: a couple of these bills to once again take away

601
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: your right to keep and bear arms, annunciation shooting survivor

602
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: pushing lawmakers for action on gun violent to bills. During

603
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: a press conference yesterday from Governor Tim Walls and Shenanigans Democrats,

604
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: the DFL attempting to keep speakers for the Minnesota Gun

605
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: Owner's Caucus against
