1
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: I was talking about the Costco.

2
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: At its most expensive one hundred and forty dollars ten

3
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: pounds is sime is solid chocolate easter bunny that's gone viral.

4
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: It's named Pete the Bunny. I made the joke that

5
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: liberals are going to be really upset because the same

6
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: name is Hegseth. My wife Melinda texting me, she says

7
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: it's named Pete for Peter Rabbit.

8
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Like I know. My Hegseth joke was funnier. Hey, John

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: pat friend of the show.

10
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: I saw those big, huge chocolate easter bunnies and costcos

11
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: old maybe about a month ago, and I was thinking

12
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: about getting a big one at one point for my

13
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: granddaughter who's fourteen. And when I saw the price of

14
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty five dollars in the Edon Pury Costco,

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: I thought they are high on drugs. Well, when I

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 3: went in this past Monday, it was down to ninety

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: nine something, so they're dropping, but they're still high on drugs.

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,800

Speaker 2: I'll find out on Friday. Obviously. Friend of the Show

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: Big Swede says that he saw a ten pound bunny

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: locally at a Costco and that was only ninety nine dollars,

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: so maybe.

31
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: They have gone in lowered the price.

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: Others pointed out with the controversy over this, yes, the

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: bunny costs nearly as much as filling up a tank

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: of gas right now, Well, depending on the car you're driving,

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: While some bashed the quality of the candy. Some Reddit users,

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: why we need to ban that? By the way, we

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: need to ban the inclusion of comments on Reddit in

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: any story is can we not find a better source

39
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: of online commentary than Reddit.

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Of all places?

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: How about four Chan? No, not that either. However, in Lincoln, Nebraska,

42
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: residents said the ten pounds of the worst chocolate, another

43
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: called the chocolate wax. Well did they bite and open

44
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: up and try it out? Maybe it wasn't that bad.

45
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: Some users push back on the criticism. However, not in

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: the price per pound makes sense, and that's what I

47
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: was going to say, I called the delicious. One commenter

48
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: said that the cost worked out to about thirteen dollars

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: and fifty cents per pound, describing it is right around

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: the average cost for chocolate. Bod borup, this is a

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota food company that actually makes the bunny. Oh so

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: it's made right here, and it is a Minnesota born,

53
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: semi solid ten pound chocolate bunny. Said, it's made from

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: fair trade chocolate. Yeah, that's opposed to the blood chocolate.

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: You don't want to purchase the blood chocolate right in

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: there with the blood diamonds. Don't want to purchase this.

57
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: One giant bunny, one hundred little.

58
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: Moments of chocolate, the company told an outlet in the statement.

59
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: Another online commentator, citing the nutrition label, talked about what

60
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: I mentioned before, you're looking at nineteen grams per serving,

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: six pounds of sugar across the one hundred and fifty

62
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: one servings. One Costco customer on Reddit said the bunny

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: had been discounted again by one hund undred dollars at

64
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: the California warehouse. Others apparently said, the prices are dropping

65
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: you around fifty bucks or thirty at select locations. So

66
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: at what price point, like, if you were going to

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: buy this at all, if you were considering purchasing this

68
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: chocolate bunny in any way, shape or form, like, what's

69
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: your what is your price point?

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

71
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: Let's get back to a few of your thoughts on

72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: the iHeart radio app.

73
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: It's interesting that you can get ten pounds of chocolate

74
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: rabbit for one hundred and thirty dollars, but you can

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 4: also get nine pounds of chocolate chips for thirty two bucks.

76
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: That's just that's kind of crazy.

77
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Good morning John.

78
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,440

Speaker 5: size in.

80
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: A Costco store? How can they even question that? Of

81
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: course people are going to buy it.

82
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you seen the carts in Costco and some.

Speaker 7: Unhealthy wise people. Seriously, Yeah, people are going to buy

86
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 7: that bunny guaranteed.

87
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: Well, if you were having a big Easter shindig and

88
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a lot of people over, I mean

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: it would make sense to buy the massive the massive bunny.

90
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: Don't give Keith Ellison, any ideas about going after Costco

91
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: about semi solid bunnies.

92
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,640

102
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: on then go and purchase ten pound chocolate bunnies. You

103
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,120

104
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: remained so thin from multi calories that I burn on

105

108
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 9: prosperity that we have in this country. And all these

109
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 9: politicians that say.

110
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: People can't make ends meet.

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 9: Go to a Costco on ANVY given Saturday, and you'll

112
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 9: see food zombies walking around with carts over full with

113
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 9: garbage food and they all have big guts and they

114
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,799

121
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: You could be talking about the war in Iran, we

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: could be talking about drunken legislators, and we could be

123
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: talking about chocolate bunnies, and the level of intensity when

124
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: it comes to Scott is always going to remain consistent.

127
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: In the early two thousands have disappeared from store shelves,

128
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: but not from memory. Yeah, they disappeared from shelves because

129
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: they weren't selling. Fans are now talking extensively about their

130
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: nostalgic favorites decades later. Frozen treats, tangy candies, quirky fruit stacks,

131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: many discontinued due to shifting tastes, corporate shakeups and recipe

132
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: changes changes, others briefly returned or inspired copycats. Recent roundups,

134
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,320

135
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: ten snacks that people want back, Devin, I'm gonna need

136
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: to know if you have your approval on these? Do

137
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: you eat any of these?

138
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Okay? You ready?

139
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 10: So?

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: Number ten shark bite fruit snacks, introduced by General Mills

141
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: in the late eighties. Shark bite fruit snacks, So, Devin,

142
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: snark is any familiarity?

143
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640

144
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 11: are you familiar with the shark ones? I am unfamiliar

145
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 11: with the shark ones. I might have heard of them,

146
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 11: but hu.

147
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: Apparently the changes were tied to removing artificial colors and

148
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: flavors that altered the taste and eliminated the iconic great

149
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: white shark. No, they got rid of it because it

150
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: was a great white shark.

151
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: That's why.

152
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: Number nine Cheetos paws. You ever heard cheetos?

155
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: Chester Cheetah. They're the same as classic cheetos, but they

156
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: made them look like pause apparently. Number eight original platters

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: cheese balls. Okay, I'm familiar with those, all right, you

158
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: get I'll take a cheeseball, by the way, over a cheeto.

159
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: Just for the record, If I'm giving a choice, that's fair.

160
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Are you going cheese ball or cheetoh? I might go cheeto,

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: but I love both. Yeah, I enjoy me a cheese

162
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: ball over a cheetoh. Again if I if we're doing

163
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: like Desert Island crispy cheesy snacks, seven Doritos salcer Rio,

164
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: I've eaten those?

165
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: Have you had those? No? I haven't. Okay, there all right,

166
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know they were discontinued.

167
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: Uh let's see six Hershey swoops. They were shaped like

168
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: oh yeah, they were shaped like pringles. Thin slices of

169
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: chocolate stood out from the traditional candy bars. Have you

170
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: ever had those? I didn't know they were called swoops.

171
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: I am familiar with them. I don't think I've ever

172
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: had them either. Keebler, magic middles, Devin No no, no,

173
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: short bread cookies, gooey fillings, fudge and peanut butter serving

174
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: as an early example of the hidden filling cookie concept.

175
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was a thing, the hidden cookie,

176
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: the hidden filling cookie concept. Number four Jello pudding pops.

177
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: That's easy. I didn't know they were discontinued though. Have

178
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: you had a jello pudding pop?

179
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: I haven't.

180
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: Okay, they were discontinued after corporate changes. Fans now recreate

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: them at home using instant pudding mix. Number three Altoid Sours,

182
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: launched in the early two thousands, packaged in the metal tins,

183
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: delivered an intense tartness before before turning sweet. Altoid Sours

184
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: and't familiar with those, don't all No, I don't do

185
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: sour very much. This seems to be a list, by

186
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: the way of a good example of why all these

187
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: products disappeared. I don't buy into this demand for any

188
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: of these butterfinger bebies.

189
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah I had those.

190
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: Do you have butterfinger I like me a butterfinger M

191
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: one of my favorites, by the way, But if you're

192
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: gonna get a butterfinger, just get a butterfinger bar. Why

193
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: do you need them smaller? And break them up? And

194
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: the number one on the list was platter Pebee Crisps,

195
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: launched in ninety two, peanut butter shaped cookies with a

196
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: crunchy shell and a creamy peanut butter center. They remain

197
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: one of the most requested of the discounted snacks online

198
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: Peter Platter's Pebe Crisps. So, Devin, no never, no, Okay,

199
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, me neither. I'm calling foul in this

200
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: entire Fox News article. I think they can coct at

201
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: all of this. I don't think there's anything. I think

202
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: this is one hundred percent fake fake news. All right,

203
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: one more item, We'll turn our attention back over to

204
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: more serious matters.

205
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: This just made me laugh. So we had this near.

206
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: Unanimous decision coming out of Colorado, a Christian counselor who

207
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: challenged a Colorado law regarding conversion therapy. I'll bring you

208
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: details on this next. But also in Colorado, where they

209
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: clearly have an abundance of ridiculous laws, we have a

210
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: a taco bell napkin band law. Okay, So this was

211
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: SP twenty six Nash one six. It was called the

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: napkin band. Now this is still making its way through

213
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: the Colorado legislature. In Colorado, a taco bell could be

214
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: fined up to one thousand dollars for giving you a

215
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: napkin with your order if you didn't request it. So

216
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: not not including the napkins, which I would be like

217
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: if you were going to make a law, and I

218
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to make this law either way, but if

219
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: you were going to make a law regarding napkins and

220
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: their inclusion or exclusion from your Taco Bell fast food meal,

221
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 2: the law that I would have put forward would be

222
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: a law where you would be fined for not giving

223
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: me napkins, not not giving me a napkin. All right,

224
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: I'll give you some more details on this coming up.

225
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: We'll get to your talkbacks, of which there are plenty

226
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl reelt

227
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: here on Twinsiday's news Talk AM eleven thirty and one

228
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: oh three five FM.

229
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 7: Good morning, guys.

230
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 12: If you're talking about bringing back anything, you've got to

231
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 12: bring back the marathon bar. And I know your audience

232
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 12: with one agree with me, right.

233
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had a marathon bar.

234
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: Like if I'm doing Snickers or a milky Way, I'm

235
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: going to Snickers route. I'm not a candy bar guy, though, well, okay, look,

236
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: before Melinda starts texting.

237
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Me, I'm not a candy bar guy.

238
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: If I don't have access to them, like if they're there,

239
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: especially during the Halloween season, that's a different story. But

240
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: if I'm going to get candy like before a movie,

241
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm usually going like Reese's Pieces.

242
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm not doing candy bars.

243
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: But if I were having a milky way a choice

244
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: between the Milk Away and Snickers, I think I'm going

245
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: to Snickers route.

246
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: Are you a big Are you a candy bar?

247
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 8: Dude?

248
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 6: Out?

249
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Are you're pretty? You're you look pretty healthy.

250
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you're not eating a lot of candy or

251
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: your metabolism just hasn't caught up yet.

252
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 11: Like I think for the metabolism has a great deal

253
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 11: to do with it. But I don't eat a ton

254
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 11: of candy. If there's like chocolate cookies laying around, then

255
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 11: I'm in trouble.

256
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Okay, like chocolate chip cookies.

257
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, if you were going to, like, say,

258
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: you know, here's five bucks, you have to go buy

259
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: a candy bar. I hate when people on the spot

260
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: like this, But I've already gone there, so but you

261
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: had to go buy a candy bar.

262
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you have like one that pops into your mind

263
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: that you want to go and purchase.

264
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 11: I'd probably just go classic Hershey's milk chocolate.

265
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I'm with you.

266
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: See I usually go like the uh uh, the the

267
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: cookies and cream hershes, you know, the white chocolate, which

268
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: isn't really a thing. I guess white chocolate isn't really

269
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: a thing. Oh, I'm gonna get foes.

270
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Of the show. Of course you would want the white chocolate. John, hmm,

271
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: let's go here.

272
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 13: I'll take the other side of the coin. People go

273
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 13: to Costco to get the free samples.

274
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

275
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 13: Some don't even spend money when they go into the store.

276
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 13: They just walk around and meet the people that are

277
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 13: handing out the free food, and that is their lunch

278
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 13: and that is their dinner. So it's not always people

279
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 13: with huge cards.

280
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

281
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to challenge the assertion, but you would

282
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: still have to have a Costco membership. Would that actually

283
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: be cost effective? Make no mistake when we go on Fridays, Oh,

284
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm going after the samples. I've told the stories before.

285
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: I got my hands smacked going after the samples. Never

286
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: go in from behind, Do not grab an item from

287
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: behind on the snamp on the on the on the

288
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: samples the ladies at the costco and coon wraps to

289
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: get very upset with that. I just don't think it

290
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: would be very cost efficient to pay the yearly fee

291
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: for the membership and then I'll get free food. I'm

292
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: you know what, though, I absolutely could be wrong. Getting

293
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: back just briefly to this Colorado bill, Christy Burton Brown

294
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: posted this. She's a policy advocate lawyer, Colorado GOP chair

295
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: SB twenty six six the napkin ban. If it passes

296
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: in Colorado, your local Taco Bell could be fined up

297
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: to a grand for giving you a napkin with your

298
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: order if you didn't request it.

299
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: That's just.

300
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: I dare you?

301
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: Oh, and Taco Bell is also banned from giving you

302
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: hot packets if you didn't ask.

303
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: Or confirm you one of them. Why.

304
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: RB sauce is apparently okay, but your local coffee shops

305
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: creamer and sweetener will be subject to the fine. The

306
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: bill sponsors chose to make a list of which condiment

307
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: can to be given out without being requested, and according

308
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: to the ride up from Christy, she says, and clearly

309
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: they don't frequent certain types of restaurants. Oh, and they're

310
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: banning cup sleeves on hot coffee unless you ask, so

311
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: feel free to burn your hands in the name of

312
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: saving the planet. No straws with your coke or frappuccino either,

313
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: unless you remember to ask. And if door dash doesn't

314
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: clearly communicate what utensils and sauces that you want to

315
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: the restaurant, and the restaurant packs a single unwanted napkin

316
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: for you DoorDash in the restaurant can be fined up

317
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: to one thousand dollars. I'm always so fearful of talking

318
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: about stories like this on the show.

319
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Because I just imagine that there's some.

320
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: Leftist within the legislature, like a tab key, like a

321
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: Sydney Jordan, that here's this Senator Ron Latz, and they go, oh,

322
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: this is a good idea. We should follow Colorado's lead.

323
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of Colorado, we will get to the

324
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision handing this conservative win regarding conversion therapy,

325
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: and what's going to happen here in Minnesota is Democrats

326
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: move to block it. But one quick story on this,

327
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: so we have all this construction going on at the

328
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: radio station right now, which is why I'm in a

329
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: brand new studio, which.

330
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: I absolutely love.

331
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: So we don't have a breakroom anymore so in sales,

332
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: which is much farther down the hall from where the

333
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: breakroom used to be relative to where the studios are

334
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: here at iHeart in in Minneapolis, so it's a it's

335
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: a bit of a hike, not far, a bit of

336
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: a hike. So they you know, the company still has

337
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: coffee machines out. They have curate coffee machines and a

338
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: water a water dispenser available.

339
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: To go and use.

340
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: So they have the the cups and.

341
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Like pay their paper cups, right, they're thicker paper cups.

342
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Devin. They're thicker paper cups. But there's

343
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: no sleeves for any of the coffee cups back there,

344
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: So when you get the coffee, it is like stupid hot,

345
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: Like I've tried to carry the cup using just the top.

346
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't let me.

347
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: Get to the heart of what I'm trying to say here.

348
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to be wasteful. So there are lids

349
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: that you can grab on the cups, but even then,

350
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: if you're just grabbing the top and the lid you're

351
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: actually at more at risk of the coffee and the

352
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: lid coming apart and it's spilling everywhere. Then if you

353
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: just leave the lid off and grab it from the top.

354
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: So I tried to do that, and of course it

355
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how careful I walk down

356
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: the hall. It's gonna spill out and it's burning my fingers.

357
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: So then I was grabbing napkins and putting it on top.

358
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 2: That wasn't working because it would just soak the nap

359
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: and then it was still burned my fingers. Then I

360
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: was trying to use the napkin to wrap it around

361
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: the cup, and then that wasn't working because it wasn't

362
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: like the little heat sleeves. So now I've just so

363
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: what I did do for a bit is I was

364
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: using two cups because that solved the problem. But I

365
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: have a coffee cup that I use in studio because

366
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: it has a lid on it. So now I'm just

367
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: making the trip, which is kind of a pain in

368
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: the butt because it's really far down the hall and

369
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: it takes up time in the morning.

370
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: But I don't want to be wasteful. I don't want

371
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: to cost I heeart any more money. This is what

372
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: kind of good employee I am. This is why I

373
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: get good reviews every year.

374
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: Certainly not based off of the quality of the content

375
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: of the show this morning.

376
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: You're fascinating to talk to.

377
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: Eight one ruling yesterday. I'll let you guess during the

378
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: commercial break who the one Supreme Court justice was who

379
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: dissented on this. But the other eight ruled in favor

380
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: of a Christian counselor who challenged the Colorado law she

381
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: said could punish her for helping gender confuse to children

382
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: become comfortable with their own bodies.

383
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: That's right, You.

384
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: Get a napkin taco bell gets a thousand dollars fine,

385
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: and you cannot do You couldn't until this ruling conversion

386
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: therapy in Colorado.

387
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you details on that.

388
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: We'll get to more of your comments from the iHeartRadio

389
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: app next year on Twin City's News talking about.

390
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: Good Morning, John brisk new questions, friend of the show,

391
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 5: You do not have to have a membership to get

392
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: into costcolls. You try to free samples taking the huge ports,

393
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 5: you can go into the return.

394
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: This okay, but no, but okay, that you can you

395
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: could do that, but you're not supposed to. That's my point.

396
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: That's why they've been cracking down on those that are

397
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: going to Costco and not using a card.

398
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: So you're right.

399
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: People can just go in through where you would go

400
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: to the membership and then go take the food.

401
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: That's not what you're supposed to do.

402
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: We were talking a moment ago here on Twin Cities

403
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: News Talk Am eleven thirty one oh three five FM

404
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: worldwide on the iHeartRadio app. Again, just hit the microphone

405
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: on the app. You can leave us a thirty second message.

406
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: There is a bill in Colorado.

407
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: That would van.

408
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: Giving away of single serving items, so like a taco

409
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: bell could end up being fined if they include a

410
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: napkin and you didn't request it.

411
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: Come on, John, that story's got to be in April

412
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: Pool's joke. I think they got yet.

413
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: Nope, I've actually had it in my stack for a

414
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: few days. Proposed to March with twenty twenty six, the

415
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: Colorado legislation, referred to as the Napkin Bill or Utensil Bill,

416
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: seeks to restrict restaurants and third party delivery services from

417
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: automatically providing single use items like napkins.

418
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: Utensils and condiments.

419
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: The bill aims to reduce waste by requiring customers to

420
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: opt in for these items. You're not doing anything tangible

421
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: with this whatsoever. It's all style over substance.

422
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 7: How are napkin restrictions and condiment editions? These are private

423
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 7: businesses still, how can.

424
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: That even hold up?

425
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 7: I mean, they put through this stupid legislation just for

426
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 7: there to be a bunch of loss, of course, and

427
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 7: we just waste money. This is just a grift into

428
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 7: the whole legal system. No wonder we have such crappy

429
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 7: lawyers out there.

430
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you are correct in all of your commentary.

431
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Thank you.

432
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 10: Regarding all the bands on condiments and all the other things.

433
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 10: One thing that is sad about businesses and such is

434
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 10: that there's no constitution for businesses. The government can go

435
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 10: nearly reilly however it wants, and we just have to

436
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 10: fight it and accept it. It's one thing that really

437
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 10: should change in this country is the fundamental rights of

438
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 10: not just the business owners, but the business itself.

439
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: Here here absolutely, I got a couple of comments regarding

440
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: my coffee woes, which aren't really woes. It's just more

441
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: of an inconvenience I left out a really important detail though.

442
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: Before I share it with you, let me get to

443
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: your thoughts.

444
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 8: Hey, John, here's the idea for you.

445
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 14: Reusable mug.

446
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 6: I have a wonderful day.

447
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: No, I have a reusable mug. I keep it in

448
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: the studio. See.

449
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: The problem is when I get off the elevator, the

450
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: coffee's right there. It's right to my left. And if

451
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: you don't know this about me, I'm very particular. I

452
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: like things done the very I like things done a

453
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: certain way. I like to be as efficient with my

454
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: time as possible, especially when it comes to the show.

455
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 2: I'm already getting up at two thirty. I'm already prepping

456
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: right up until the intro starts, and a lot of

457
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: times pasted it.

458
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: So I try to maximize all my time.

459
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: So, in an effort to maximize my time, I don't

460
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: want to make two trips. I'm only only losing a

461
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. But that's that's the part of it

462
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: that I left out. I have thought just about leaving

463
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: the the my my coffee mug, which Sam san Severe

464
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 2: had bought for me years ago.

465
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: It really cool.

466
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 2: It's actually one of the it's the cover to my

467
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: second Science fiction book. I have thought about leaving it

468
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: down there. I just don't trust that someone's not going

469
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: to find it and throw it away or you know.

470
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I could mark it, but I said a

471
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: lot of good. That's dumb me with items in the

472
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: studio in the past.

473
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 15: So no breakthroom, no sleeve or cop helps which I

474
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 15: didn't know as too as are. Yeah, we got a

475
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 15: new segment John Justice's First World Problems one.

476
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. It was a heavy day yesterday. I'm

477
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: just trying to lighten the load today. This case in Colorado,

478
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court ruled eight to one. For those of

479
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: you that were guessing, the one loan dissenter was Justice

480
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: Brown Jackson, Kateenjie Brown Jackson, and of course, of course

481
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: it was because she's just the worst. It pitted the

482
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: State of Colorado against Councilor Katie Chiles Kayleie Chiles, who

483
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: challenged the Colorado law that prohibited counseling that attempts to

484
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: or purports to change an individual sexual orientation or gender identity.

485
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 2: Chiles says that the law violates her First Amendment rights

486
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: and has prevented her from accepting several clients. This is

487
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: one of those issues that it's much like all the

488
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: gender identity issues that we're dealing with, men going in

489
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: women's restrooms, men competing in women's sports.

490
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: It's just it's one sided, you know.

491
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: The ban on conversion therapy doesn't address to the fact

492
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: that it's simple boils down to a difference of opinion.

493
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: I'll share more of my commentary here in a moment,

494
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: but getting back to the coverage from The Daily Wire, Childs,

495
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: who was represented represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, argued

496
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: that Colorado's law, passed in twenty nineteen, was a direct

497
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: attack on professional speech. Childs said the ruling, we'll preserve

498
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: more options for families. The Court agreed the Colorado's law

499
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: did not hold up to First Amendment scrutiny. Liberal justices

500
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: Snya Soda Mayor and Elaina Kagan wrote a concurring opinion,

501
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: and it was only Justice Brown Jackson as alone dissenter.

502
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: She said in her descent that Colorado's law was constitutional

503
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: because it was the state regulating healthcare. It's like our

504
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: last bastion of sanity is the Supreme.

505
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: Court right now. I just pray it lasts a long time.

506
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: The ruling it's expected, of course, to have broad implications

507
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: for similar laws called conversion therapy bands across the country.

508
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: Over twenty states have passed similar status, and it could

509
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: now be in legal jeopardy, including here in Minnesota. And

510
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: let's be clear, this law banned essentially just another point

511
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: of view. The individual being counseled on any of these

512
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: issues still has the freedom to choose. Now certainly if

513
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: you're talking about parents regarding miners, but as they become

514
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: an adult, it is just a different view of a

515
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: particular issue that the individual is still responsible for based

516
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: off of what choice they want to make in this

517
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 2: case regarding their sexual orientation.

518
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: Litee.

519
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: You allow this to stand, and eventually you could get

520
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: states in Minnesota say ban creationism over evolution, intelligent design

521
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: over the Big Bang theory, etc. You strip away the

522
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: sensitive specifics and bring it down to its essence of

523
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: again regulating opinions and viewpoints. And the law is pretty insane,

524
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: but insane laws is something that is commonplace here in Minnesota.

525
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: Matt Dean centered The American Experiment has a lengthy piece

526
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: up this morning. I wanted to share with you a

527
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: few thoughts from the sneaky workaround in Minnesota's conversion therapy ban.

528
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: So following the Supreme Court ruling which deemed Colorado's conversion

529
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: therapy ban unconstitutional, the DFL introduced a bill to circumvent

530
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: the decision. The bill HF forty four to sixty eight

531
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: and s F forty seven oh six would create a

532
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: private cause of action for doing that thing with my

533
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: fingers harmful conversion therapy practices, potentially leading to lawsuits against therapists.

534
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: The legislation aims to intimidate therapists and limit their ability

535
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 2: to provide counseling the the lines with the Supreme Court decision. Unsurprisingly,

536
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: representatively Think he was out of the gate to express

537
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: his dismay over the ruling. Said it was a terrible

538
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: day for LGBTQ young people. He said, lawmakers agreed to

539
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: outlaw the practice because doing that thing with my fingers.

540
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: We know how harmful it is.

541
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 13: Was.

542
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: In all things being fair and equal, the same can

543
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: be said for preventing another viewpoint regarding these particular issues.

544
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: That's all that it is.

545
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: Minnesota, as I mentioned, is one of twenty three states

546
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: that bans license mental health professionals from practicing the conversion

547
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: therapy on miners specifically, So again I go back to

548
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: this is really just about miners, in which case the

549
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: parents should have the opportunity if they want to go

550
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: and provide a different viewpoint. And if you continue to

551
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: allow a law like this to go unchallenged, he does

552
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: open up the door or for the ridiculousness of what

553
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: I laid out in terms of the example. A moment ago,

554
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court ruled that the viewpoint provided in this

555
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: law here in Minnesota that was enacted in twenty twenty

556
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: three is discrimination and unconstitutional. Democrat lawmakers have introduced this

557
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: new bill. Individuals who claim they were harmed by the

558
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: therapy before the age of eighteen could sue mental health

559
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: professionals who provided it. Parents or guardians could sue on

560
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: behalf of minors or later if the individual is deceased

561
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: or incapacitated. Okay, but you can't sue if, say, a

562
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: school or a healthcare professional with a blatant pro LGBTQ

563
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: gender identity agenda or the imagery or the curriculum in

564
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: schools or the course lessons that promote gender identity, wherein

565
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: an individual may have been encouraged to go and say

566
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: either change their sexual orientation or choose a different gender,

567
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 2: but then decide later on that that was a mistake.

568
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: So they wouldn't be allowed to go and sue the

569
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: individuals who push them in that direction, but you could

570
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: go and sue the individual who pushed you in the

571
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: other direction.

572
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.

573
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: Matt Dean goes on to say the bill defines psychological

574
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: harm broadly to include depression, anxiety, self harm PTSD, among

575
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: other issues. A prevailing plaintiff could obtain injunctive relief a

576
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: minimum of fifty thousand dollars into civil penalty and compensatory

577
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: impunitive damages, plus the attorney fees and costs as well.

578
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: Matt Dean says this is not ordinary enforcement. It is

579
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: a deliberate legislative workaround meant to intimidate, and of course

580
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: the approach ignores both the emerging evidence and now the

581
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: binding Supreme Court President.

582
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: Notably, Democrats.

583
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Work around to bill allow losses to be filed in

584
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: either county where the care was provided or where the

585
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: patient lives at the time of filing, effectively enabling a

586
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: forum shopping for a more favorable venue. Minnesota parents deserve

587
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: access to therapy that addresses the root causes of their

588
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: children's distress, rather than having them steer toward irreversible medical interventions.

589
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: Mental health professionals deserve the freedom to practice evidence based

590
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: care without fear of activist driven litigation or First Amendment violations.

591
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: Kids deserve to grow up without irreversible medical interventions that

592
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: can't consent but could leave them sterile or permanently disfigured.

593
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: I would encourage everybody to head on over to americanexperiment

594
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: dot org and check out the entirety of a Matt

595
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: Dean's piece. Really great coverage on this. You know, it's

596
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: interesting to me because you could be looking at you know,

597
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 2: our grand our children's children, grandchildren. Depending on how history

598
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: is written, you know, you could be looking at what

599
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: was past, especially here in Minnesota during the Trifecta. You know,

600
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: the same way you look back to the past and

601
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: the atrocities that were perpetuated by the most extreme of

602
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: extreme leaders Marxism, Hitler and the Nazis. Now, there's obviously

603
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: wildly varying degrees of severity here, don't misunderstand, but still

604
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: often equal in their lunacy when it comes to the

605
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: policies of which have been enacted whether we're talking about

606
00:34:52,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: these stupid napkin bands or the danger silence and silencing

607
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: of dissenting views that don't align with the progressive agenda.

608
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. I can't get a

609
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: napkin with my taco.

610
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 16: And let me guess the restaurant owners will.

611
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 15: Be responsible for paying the person to police list, which

612
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 15: will get passed on to me, and my taco will

613
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 15: increase by twenty five cents.

614
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, if not more. It will increase, if not more.

615
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: From the series and now back to the ridiculous. A

616
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: federal judge has halted construction of Trump's planned White House ballroom,

617
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: ruling the president lacks the authority to proceed without congressional approval.

618
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: The National Trust.

619
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: For Historic Preservation argue that the project would permanently all

620
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 2: the White House and its historic character and balance. The administration,

621
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: which claims the President has brought authority to modernize the

622
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: White House, is expected, of course, to appeal from the decision. Listen,

623
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: if you know anybody that is actually legitimately upset about this,

624
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: can you ask him a question?

625
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: Why are they upset about this?

626
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: First off, a future president could use this and there

627
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 2: will be a Democrat future sometime a president sometime in

628
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: the future. This was one hundred percent privately funded. And

629
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: as I said, when the initial controversy erupted, you know

630
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: how many people are actually going.

631
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: To go to the White House and be traumatized or

632
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: bothered by this?

633
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: Some of the examples I heard of this is how

634
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 2: he's being a king, and the criticism from the left

635
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: was drilling down to just the smallest of items.

636
00:36:59,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: The minutia.

637
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 2: If only Democrats always had this finite detail levels of concern,

638
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, like when it comes to fraud. I have examples.

639
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 2: This morning, a medicaid provider was banned for fraud kept

640
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: billing anyways to hundreds of thousands of dollars. President Donald

641
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Trump held the press briefing at the White House yesterday,

642
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: not talking specifically in the clip that I have to

643
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: share with you about the ballroom, but it does relate

644
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: to what we're talking about in terms of the ridiculous

645
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome that the Democrats continue to put on

646
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: full display.

647
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 6: I have this Tomorrow's night here New York Times.

648
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 16: If you read the New York Times prior to my

649
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 16: election victory, including the first one and the second one too,

650
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 16: I went three times. I went three times convincingly. But

651
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 16: let's go to the third victory. If you read the

652
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 16: New York Times, you would say, oh, Trump's gonna lose.

653
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 6: But I wanted a lancelot.

654
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 16: I won the popular vote, I won the electoral College,

655
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 16: and a massive number rights.

656
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 6: I won the.

657
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 16: Counties eighty six percent of the counties.

658
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 6: I went all of these different things.

659
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 16: Winning the popular vote for Republicans, you know, pretty amazing.

660
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 16: But if you read the New York Times for months

661
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 16: and months and months, you were hearing, oh Trump, he

662
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 16: was so badly.

663
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 6: We have to straighten out our media.

664
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 16: The reason their circulation is way down. The New York

665
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 16: Times circulation, you know, has gotten way down. Washington Post

666
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 16: is almost extinct. The papers that are being dishonest papers generally,

667
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 16: people don't believe the media. And to finish, I got

668
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 16: ninety three percent bad publicity.

669
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 6: Some people say ninety seven. But between ninety three and

670
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 6: ninety seven, that gets ninety.

671
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 16: Seven percent of bad stories. Maybe Caroline's doing a poor job.

672
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 16: I don't know, she's my representating a terrible job. Should

673
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 16: we keep everything, We'll keep her. But I get ninety

674
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 16: three to ninety seven percent bad press fake press, Oh fake.

675
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 6: I wanted a landslide. When you get ninety three to.

676
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 16: Ninety seven bad stores, bad press, and you win in

677
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 16: a landslide, you know what that says people don't believe

678
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 16: the press. And when people don't believe the press, that's a.

679
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 6: Very bad thing for our country.

680
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 16: And when you look at let's say, the New York

681
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 16: Times of the Washington Post, the stores are so fake.

682
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: They have what's called the Trump derangement problem.

683
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 16: Have you heard about that problem?

684
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 14: Good morning John. The only reason anyone would be upset

685
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 14: about the ball is because Trump ploy Yeah, if Obama

686
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 14: was doing it, it would be the greatest thing in

687
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 14: the twice bread Well.

688
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: And consider this, and Scott Jennings brought this up on

689
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: CNN yesterday. I mean, what's the alternative right now? That

690
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: area of the White House is gone and to the

691
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: top backers point, let's just say that Trump's not able

692
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: to build anything there in that hole is just left

693
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 2: and a Democrat were heaven forbid to win the next

694
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: presidential election. Oh, I guarantee they're going to build some

695
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: sort of monstrosity in that location. None of the this

696
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: is all it's all fake outrage. It's all fake outrage.

697
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: In another move yesterday, of which the focus of the

698
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: press conference was, Trump did sign an executive order to

699
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: secure mail in voting by requiring the Department of Homeland

700
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: Security to create a list of eligible voters and the

701
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: ups to ensure that absentee ballots are only sent to

702
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: those on the list. The order also instructs the Attorney

703
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: General to prosecute officials who issue ballots to ineligible voters. Democrats,

704
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: of course, have condemned the order as unconstitutional and would

705
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: argue in are arguing that it would go in disenfranchise voters. Now,

706
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: this is going to be challenged. It's already in the

707
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: story itself. Democrats are united in their opposition not only

708
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: with the Save America Act, but with what Trump ruled

709
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 2: on yesterday via the executive order.

710
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: So it's going to be challenged.

711
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 2: But what the administration is doing here is they're gaming

712
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: this whole thing out, and they're doing this now so

713
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 2: that they can get past the forthcoming lawsuits and injunctions,

714
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: so that this could be potentially in place prior to

715
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: midterm voting. Now, President Donald Trump took it a step

716
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: further yesterday, even going so far as to say that

717
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: he's working on additional executive orders if the Save America

718
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 2: Act isn't passed.

719
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 16: Mentioned everything that was going on, because the keating on

720
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 16: mail and voting is it's horrible what's going on, and

721
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 16: it's very clearly covered, very very clearly. So I think

722
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 16: this will help a lot with elections. We'd like to

723
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 16: have voter ID, we'd like to have proof of citizenship,

724
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 16: and that'll be another subject for another time.

725
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,959
Speaker 6: We're working on that. You would think it would be easy.

726
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 16: It's a ninety eight percent issue for Republicans.

727
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 6: It's eighty six percent.

728
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 16: Things just came out of poll and it's eighty six

729
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 16: percent with Republicans and Democrats, not leaders, because the leaders

730
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 16: of the Democrats cheat and the only people that don't

731
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 16: want to do voter idea people that cheat.

732
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 6: There's no other reason for it, proof of citizenship. They

733
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 6: want to be able to cheat, there's no reason.

734
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 16: There are all sorts of reasons, excuses, but it's all nonsense.

735
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 6: They want to cheat.

736
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 16: But the Democrats themselves are very high. It's a very positive,

737
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 16: very very good thing.

738
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 6: The Democrat voters, the.

739
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 16: Democrat leaders, guys like Schumer who.

740
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: Are corrupt, and now you have and I'll share with

741
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 2: you the audio coming up. You have your Nancy Pelosi's

742
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: out there worried and expressing their concern that Republicans might

743
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: try to go and cheat in our elections later this year.

744
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: Although it's been.

745
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 2: Democrats all along in their fight against the Save America

746
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: Act that have been saying that we have the most

747
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: free and secure elections here in the United States, which

748
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: is why they believe we don't need the Save America Act.

749
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: And yet you have Pelosi and others out there saying

750
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: the Republicans are going to explode are incredibly secure elections

751
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: in order to secure victories in the midterms.

752
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, make it make sense.

753
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up here on Twin Cities

754
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 2: News Talk. I'll share with you some of the details

755
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: of the medicaid provider that was banned for fraud and

756
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 2: yet just kept on billing anyways and got a whole

757
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: lot of money.

758
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: Your tax dollars.

00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: Liz Collin from Alpha News joins us at eight thirty

760
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,759
