1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: Hi, John. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: I know you know about Chuck Norris passing away last week, 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 2: but what I read on the internet was that he 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: actually died twenty years ago, but death was afraid to 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 2: tell him. Well, whether he died last week or twenty 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: years ago, may he rest in peace. 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 3: Now. 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 4: Generally speaking, I don't think that one should make jokes 9 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 4: in the light of someone passing, although we'll be talking 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 4: quite a bit about that coming up at just a 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 4: moment here on Twin City's News Talk. That being said, 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 4: I think that Chuck Norris would absolutely respect that joke. 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 4: That's my opinion on the matter. Also, Robert Mohler probably 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 4: would not have been surprised over a President Donald Trump's comments, 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 4: which we will dive into in just a moment here 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 4: on Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty and one 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 4: oh three five FM. 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: My name is John Justice. 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 4: I hope you had a fantastic weekend, and good morning. 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: Good morning as well to Sam in the Master Control booth. 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 4: It's good to see you morning, John. So I did it? 22 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 4: Do you know what I did? I can only imagine 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 4: the deed has been done. If anything else happens out 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 4: of the norm weather wise, Oh okay, it is now 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 4: one hundred percent of my fault because as I left 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 4: this morning, I walked into the garage. I placed my items, 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 4: my setral, my water bottle, and the other items in 28 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 4: my vehicle. I put them in Monty. I promptly then 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: removed the weather tech floormats. I grabbed the cloth embroidered 30 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: stinger floormats hanging up in the garage. I placed them 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: inside the vehicle, and I came to work. I did 32 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: look at the weather beforehand, by the way, I did 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 4: go and look at the advanced forecast, and I consulted 34 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 4: people around the house too. I talked with the family members, 35 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: especially Logan because he's probably the most weather inclined in 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 4: the household, and just his tracking of the Aurora borealis 37 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: and whatnot. And he informed me the snow was done, 38 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: it was safe to change out the format. So just 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 4: letting you know, I love how unapologetic your face looks 40 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 4: right now. 41 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: I love it. I'm happy for you. John felt so 42 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: much better on my feet. The cloth ones are so 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: much softer. 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 4: I understand that they looked. They look so much nicer. 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 4: They served their purpose this winter. Man, who's looking good today? 46 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 4: For what it's worth, I got, I get. I gave 47 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: him a bath on the drive this morning. I left 48 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: with just enough time. There's like two or three different 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: car washes that I could hit on the drive in 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: in the morning, so it doesn't really matter which one 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: I went to. But yeah, he was like, well, it 52 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 4: was still dirty from over the weekend because of all 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: the snow was dry. But the snow's finally all gone now, 54 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 4: and I'm like, you know what, I'm switching the formats out. 55 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: He deserves a bath. And so I'm not saying that 56 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: when I got out of the car here at Twin 57 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: City's News talking the parking garage, that I turned around 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: and looked at my car for just a moment to 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 4: take it all in. But I absolutely turned around looked 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: at my car for a moment as I locked it 61 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: to take it all in, because he looked fantastic. 62 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: So there you go. We do a lot of things 63 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: to talk about on the show this morning. 64 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 4: Horrific deadly runway crash, two pilots killed. A plane ended 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: up hitting a fire truck at LaGuardia overnight. There won't 66 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: be opening the airport back up until two o'clock this afternoon. 67 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: Basically destroyed the cockpit of the plane. I'll share with 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 4: you the air traffic control audio where the air traffic 69 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 4: controller was desperately attempting to go and turn the plane. Actually, 70 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 4: I think he was trying to stop the fire truck 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: when if I'm if I'm remembering correctly, So we'll play 72 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: that for you coming up a little bit later on. 73 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: But two pilots were killed in that accident, so I 74 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 4: certainly prayers to the friends and family of those pilots. 75 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Just sad news this. 76 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 4: Morning, and that is certainly going to elevate something that 77 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: we'll talk quite extensively about on the show this morning, 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: and that is the fact that you've got now TSA 79 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: maybe deployed to airports as excuse me, ICE may be 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 4: deployed to airports in lieu of TSA continuing to be 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: shut down. 82 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: This was the major controversy from over the weekend. 83 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: Although if you listen to some Democrats, apparently this is 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: a really bad thing to have ICE agents at airports 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: because they're going to murder people. It was how team 86 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 4: Jeffries had said that I'll share with you the audio 87 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: on the way we'll dive into this issue and whether 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: or not you can expect ice agents at MSP anytime soon. 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty, we'll talk 90 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: about this issue with him when he joins us coming 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: up at a six thirty this morning. We also had 92 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 4: radical leftists Code Pink other organizations, including a Minneapolis City 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: Council member who got on a plane and traveled to 94 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 4: Cuba to help support the Cuban community and the citizens 95 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 4: down there. Now while the citizens are dealing with a blackout, 96 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 4: authoritarian rule and hardships, all the individuals who made the 97 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: flight down the Cuba were staying in luxury hotels with 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: power and air conditioning. I guess they ended up painting 99 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 4: a mural while they were there. I'm sure the people 100 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 4: of Cuba are incredibly happy about that. Also, big controversy 101 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: and debate taking place during the legislative session in attempts 102 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 4: to go and bring about further security for Democrats while 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 4: the threats have increased exponentially over the course of the 104 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: past a year or so. It's a really interesting debate, 105 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: especially considering that every single time Republicans go to bring 106 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: up anything comprehensive relating to providing security for individuals against 107 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: violent protesters, securing churches from protests, the Democrats shoot them down. 108 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: This is a solvable problem, but it would require Democrats 109 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 4: to actually act rationally to lower their heated rhetoric and commentary. 110 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: You know, quit calling ice, you know, things like the 111 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: Gestapo would be a good a good start. So we'll 112 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: get into that much later in the show. We do 113 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 4: have a fraud update to dive into. Amy Bach, the 114 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: ring leader of feeding our Future. 115 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Her day to two be sentenced. 116 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: Has finally been revealed, so we'll get into that and 117 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 4: give you details next. 118 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: However, though. 119 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump took no time, as I mentioned a 120 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: moment ago, taking shots at Robert Moeller, who died at 121 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: age eighty one. This was announced on Saturday. Basically Trump said, 122 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 4: and I'll give you the exact quote. He basically said 123 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: that he was glad that Mueller was dead. And this 124 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: is a really, really good example of how two things 125 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: can be true at once. The left is of course 126 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: freaking out about this, and you have some soft to 127 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: Trump supporters, you have Republican never trumpers that are grabbing 128 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 4: on to this to criticize the president's And I'll share 129 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: my thoughts about what President Donald Trump had to say 130 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 4: about the passing of Robert Muller, and we'll also do 131 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: a bit of a reminder of how the left reacts 132 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 4: when prominent conservatives end up losing their lives. 133 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: So busy Monday show. Glad to be with you this morning. 134 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: Of course, I want to hear from you if you 135 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: want an email, Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.

Sometimes I get emails to my personal accounts. 139 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens. By the way, it's 140 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: very odd. It's been an uptick of that lately. It's fine. 141 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad when people reach out to me. 142 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: I would just prefer that you reach out via Justice 143 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: at iHeartRadio dot com.

A few comments. We'll 184 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: talk about this a little bit later on in the show. 185 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: Regarding the individuals who flew down to Cuba over the weekend. 186 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 7: Good morning, John. Don't you mean they flew down there 187 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 7: to support the communist regime? It wasn't the people in 188 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 7: community of Cuba. Yes, yes, Loue, of course it's It's 189 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 7: also very true. Thank you for the thank you for 190 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 7: the comment. 191 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 8: Day Orang, John, I phoned the UH politician and code 192 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 8: pink folks that went to Cuba. Very interesting. I could 193 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 8: see this becoming a problem where more and more people 194 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 8: like that go over there just to prevent a regime 195 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 8: change or military action by the USA, which is going 196 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 8: to happen soon to the point where Trump and company 197 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 8: are gonna have to say you need to leave or 198 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 8: you might get bombed. 199 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: The footage is ridiculous of these clowns. Again, we're going 200 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: to talk about this further coming up later on in 201 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 4: the in the show. But no, it's it's absolutely ridiculous. 202 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: These individuals traveling down there. It's all self serving, completely 203 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: self serving. It's grand standing, just like what Code Pink does. 204 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 4: It's not about helping anybody down there. Lou is right. 205 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: I know he's being you know, glib, but he is. 206 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 4: He is correct. It's completely self serving. They accomplished nothing. 207 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 4: Nobody was helped going down there. They got a mural. 208 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 4: Great individuals, you know, bared witness to what was happening. 209 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 4: There's footage of the individual you know, the US citizens 210 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 4: who traveled down there with Code Pink, all the activists, 211 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: and they're they're traveling around in a car, air conditioned 212 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: with their phone phones out and they're filming the plight 213 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 4: of the people in Cuba. It's like they're visiting a zoo. 214 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 4: It was just pathetic. Thank you guys for the uh, 215 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: for the comments, and again we'll talk about that further 216 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 4: in the in the seven o'clock hour. So over the weekend, 217 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 4: word broke On Saturday, Robert Moller passed away at age 218 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: eighty one. Apparently he had been dealing with Parkinson's. If 219 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, I was unaware of this. President Donald 220 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: Trump took no time taking shots at Robert Moller. The 221 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: family said in a statement with deep sadness, we are 222 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: sharing news that Bob pssed away last night. His family 223 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,119 Speaker 4: asked for their privacy to be respected. Mueller had reportedly 224 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 4: there it is I've been suffering from Parkinson's disease. Although 225 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: an official cause of death was not immediately disclosed, within 226 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: minutes of the announcement, the attention shifted from Mohler to 227 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump's reaction. In a blunt post on True 228 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 4: Social Trump wrote, Robert Mueller just died. 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: Good. 230 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 4: I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent 231 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 4: people exclamation point now. The post unsurprisingly immediately ignited outrage 232 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 4: across media political circles, with critics seizing on the tone 233 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 4: and the substance of the statement. You had one MSNBC 234 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 4: commentator David Korn, who framed Moller as a principled figure 235 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:56,119 Speaker 4: undermined by the Trump era politics. He just never understood 236 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 4: what he was up against, what with the Russian investigation. 237 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: I'm virulent, unprincipled, an unrelenting disinformation campaign to rip Keith Oberman, 238 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: who's gone off the deep end, responded more aggressively, unsurprisingly predictable. Really, 239 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 4: he says Trump is the worst person in history, in 240 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 4: the history of the United States period, Olberman wrote, before 241 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: adding in a follow up post that Trump's reaction suggested 242 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: that even Trump knows Mueller did not clear him. Tim O'Brien, 243 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 4: editor at Bloomberg, said, Trump is always classy, Mueller was right, 244 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 4: and I still have a romance with Putin. Okay Muller's 245 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: four hundred and forty eight page report. I'll share my 246 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: thoughts on this inine moment, just a few more details here. 247 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 4: The Muller report itself, four hundred and forty eight pages, 248 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 4: released on April of twenty nineteen, detailed the numerous contacts 249 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 4: between individuals tied with a Trump campaign in Russian actors, 250 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 4: but did not allege criminal conspiracy. I'm working off a 251 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: version of the story here from The Daily Wire. Muller 252 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: ultimately declined to make any prosecutorial judgment of obstruct of justice, 253 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: citing the long standing DOJ guidance against indicting a sitting president, 254 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 4: which is just an excuse the entire investigation was bogus. 255 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 4: Trump has maintained that the investigation fully exonerated him, a 256 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,239 Speaker 4: claim that remained a point of contention long after the 257 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 4: release of the report. An account Metatron on x over 258 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: the weekend posted this, and I wanted to share it 259 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 4: along with my thoughts over what Trump said. Metatron wrote, 260 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna die on this hill. Kirk dies, people laugh 261 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: and dance. Rob Reiner dies and people laugh and dance. 262 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: Now Robert Mueller died, and Trump is glad that he's dead. 263 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 4: Trump will die and people will be dancing and celebrating. 264 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,239 Speaker 4: Biden will die and people will be dancing and celebrating. 265 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: I take issue with that second one, by the way. 266 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: I'll get to it in a second. Can we make 267 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 4: it a thing where it's just morally wrong to celebrate death. 268 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 4: It's inappropriate, petty, vindictive, and morally out of place. We 269 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: need to be better than this as a nation. 270 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And the people. 271 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 4: Sure, sure I wish it, we would, but it's not happening. 272 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 4: What we're seeing now is a quintessential to each their own. 273 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: First off, with what the post on X said, Trump 274 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 4: will die. People will be dancing and celebrating. Of course 275 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 4: they will. Biden will die, people will be dancing and celebrating. No, 276 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 4: they won't. That just won't happen. You don't see republicans 277 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 4: act this way. Show me the montage videos of Republicans 278 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 4: going and wishing death upon an individual, because I can 279 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 4: give you plenty of montages of Democrats celebrating or wishing 280 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 4: death upon prominent Republicans. 281 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, here. 282 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 4: Is a quick montage of the way the left reacted 283 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. 284 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: Ding dong the witches. Did we think that Charlie Kirk 285 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: just got shot in the net? 286 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 6: Hey, I would say poor one out for Kirkie boy, 287 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 6: But I don't always good beer. 288 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 5: A little Charlie Kirk just got put down like a 289 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 5: fucking dog in Utah, and I could not be happier. 290 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 6: I will not, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever feel bad 291 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 6: when bad people get what they deserve. 292 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: It's stoked. Right now, you wonder why I'm so stoked. 293 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Getk got ak and he's gone. 294 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 5: He did say that gun dats were an acceptable side 295 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 5: effect of gun rights. 296 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 4: If you're on the left, you don't have a leg 297 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 4: to stand on when it comes to calling for decorum 298 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: or getting upset at President Donald Trump for making a 299 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: comment like this. 300 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: Now, two things being true at once. 301 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: Do I wish that President Donald Trump wouldn't make comments 302 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 4: like this? Sure, I'm always a fan of the high road, 303 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 4: that old adage. If you can't say something nice, don't 304 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 4: say any thing at all. Would I go and make 305 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 4: a comment like this? Probably not. It's not really in 306 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: my character. That being said, I don't put grudge Trump. 307 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: At all for posting that and making that comment. 308 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 4: Trump is the most investigated and targeted politician in our lifetimes. 309 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 4: Maybe ever, there have been more attempts to fraudulently drag 310 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: him down, more false accusations, bogus lawsuits. I mean, the 311 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 4: list goes up, multiple assassination attempts, but specifically when it 312 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: comes to the Mara report, I mean, this was one 313 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 4: of the most egregious and ridiculous, and he was exonerated 314 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 4: of this. I can't imagine what it must be like 315 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 4: to be President Donald Trump and have to deal with this. 316 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 4: So yeah, am I gonna go and post. Know, do 317 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: I wish the President would take the high road? 318 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,239 Speaker 1: Sure? Do I blame him a regrudge him for it? 319 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: No? 320 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Not really. 321 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 4: I don't really care, because if I were in President 322 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's shoes, maybe in that case, I might be different. 323 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 4: I might feel differently if I had faced the level 324 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 4: of ridiculous, irrational opposition that the president has faced since 325 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 4: the moment he beat Hillary Clinton. So yeah, I'm gonna 326 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 4: give him a little bit lee of leeway on this 327 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 4: for being crass, if you will. In the wake of 328 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: the passing of Robert Muller, Yeah, all right, coming up, 329 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 4: we'll give you an update on what's going. 330 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: On in Iran. 331 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 4: Trump did give a ron forty eight hours to open 332 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 4: the strait of war, moves threatening power plants.

We don't want them to be able 506 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 3: to stifle out, let's say, conservative voices, which tend to 507 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: get lost in the shuffle. 508 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: And so on Thursday, the. 509 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: FCC approved this merger between Nextstar and Tegna. A number 510 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: of entities have filed for a stay. I was the 511 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: group that I worked with the Center for Regulatory Freedom. 512 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 3: We filed a Friend of the Corp briefs on Saturday, 513 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: sort of voicing our concerns and talking about how there 514 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 3: has to be this balance. The whole point of not 515 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: just you know, our constitution, but our laws generally are 516 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: about the balancing of rights. 517 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: That people have a right to do X, but if 518 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: that right impedes the rights. 519 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 3: Of others, well then we put we put limits on 520 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: on that exercise. 521 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: And so that's that's where we are that we we 522 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: don't we are. 523 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: We are genuinely afeared that that moves like this. But 524 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: plus just on a basic precept, John, not to get 525 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: too deep into the weed. Sure, the sec doesn't have 526 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: the statutory authority to do this. Congress set up these 527 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: ownership caps in the wake of the overturning of the 528 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 3: Chevron decision in twenty twenty four. Uh, the discretionary power 529 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: of these agencies is limited. And if Congress doesn't specifically 530 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: say you can lift the ownership cap, well, then you 531 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: can't lift the ownership cap. 532 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: So there's a precedent there as well. 533 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 4: Talking with regulatory guru and president of the Institute for 534 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 4: Liberty Andrew Langer, I have a talk back that's rolled 535 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 4: into the iHeart Er Radio all right radio app for. 536 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: You ding it.

Uh saw his one man 555 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 3: show in New York Every brilliant thing, and boy was 556 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 3: it brilliant. 557 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean it just really blew me away. 558 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 3: You're talking about, you know, writing that lands It's it 559 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 3: is very much dark humor. 560 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: Uh, the subject matter. 561 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 3: Is very serious, but it's all about audience participation. And 562 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 3: so for the forty five minutes before the show actually starts, 563 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: literally Daniel Radcliffe is running around the theater handing out 564 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: little audioians participation cards for people. Basically, the premise is 565 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: a guy, in order to cheer up his mother and 566 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 3: I'm really dumbing it down, makes a list of every 567 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: wonderful thing in the world his observations, you know, starting 568 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 3: with number one is ice cream. And number two is 569 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: being able to stay up late to watch TV and 570 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 3: so people when he calls out a number. 571 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: People yell these things out. 572 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 3: I got to check Daniel Radcliffe's teeth for Broccoli, which 573 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: was amazing. 574 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: You aren't quite the renaissance man. 575 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 4: I know you like you know a good pop culture 576 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 4: reference just as much as I do. But you go 577 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 4: to the theater quite a bit at least. That's yeah, 578 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 4: that is my That is my observation of you. I 579 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 4: love legitimate. 580 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 3: Theater, whether it's the musical version of a street card 581 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 3: named Desire or Stop the Planet of the Apes. 582 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: I want to get off. 583 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 4: I'm all in, let's go here, send a Democrats voted 584 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 4: Saturday to defeat the Republicans sponsored amendment to the Save 585 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 4: America Act that would prohibit transgender athletes from participating in 586 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 4: girls or women's sports, an issue Republicans plan to play 587 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 4: up in this year's midterm election. Was this just I 588 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: had somebody that reached out last week, and I'll be honest, 589 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 4: I didn't really have a great answer for him. Is 590 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 4: the inclusion of these amendments simply the Republicans getting the 591 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 4: Democrats on record on these particular issues. Because I had 592 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 4: listeners reaching out going. If we're looking to pass the 593 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 4: Save America Act, why do we keep it adding controversial 594 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 4: items to it that we know Democrats are going to 595 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 4: shoot down even though we know Democrats aren't going to 596 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 4: get on board anyway. 597 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: That's the thing. 598 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 3: I think it's because we know right now that so 599 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 3: long as we don't have the actual numbers, then let's 600 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: get the Democrats on the record on all of these 601 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: other things. 602 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it is it. 603 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 3: Is purely it is purely political and political gaming. 604 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's just it. 605 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 3: It's like I have a friend who who used to 606 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 3: have and this is a this is a corollary to 607 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 3: this point, which is when you're mad at a Republican, take. 608 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: It out on a Democrat. 609 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 3: You'll feel just as good and you sometimes might get 610 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: good policy as a result. 611 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: You know. 612 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 3: It's the idea of you know, maybe, just maybe if 613 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,479 Speaker 3: something passes. We know it's not going to, but you know, 614 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you get them on 615 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: the record for these kinds of things, because listen, there's 616 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 3: going to be a massive contrast. You and I have talked, 617 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: you know how eorish I am about the midterm elections 618 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 3: as it is. Yeah, But so it's a matter of 619 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: creating the contrast. 620 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 4: Trump Didner's Republicans to oppose any deal with Democrats until 621 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 4: they pass. 622 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: The Save America Act. 623 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 4: I know that this continues to be debated in the 624 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 4: in the Senate. They've been going through this marathon debate 625 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 4: over the weekend as well heading into this week. And 626 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 4: I'll ask you, as I have been every week, you know, 627 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 4: what is your what are you what are you thinking? 628 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: Is the fate of the Save America Act at at 629 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: this point in time? I don't. 630 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: I'm also iorish about that. This is this is do 631 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 3: or die for Democrats. This is a hill that they 632 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 3: are willing to die on because again, it's all about 633 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 3: power for them. They don't they don't care about what 634 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 3: the impact is. They don't care about lying to the 635 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 3: American people. They just know that they need this block 636 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 3: of voters. Every little bit helps, uh, And so you know, 637 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 3: let's you know, however, many people are voting illegally in 638 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 3: these elections. The Democrats need those voters in the same 639 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 3: way that they need every seat that they can get, 640 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 3: you know, in in in Maryland and Virginia elsewhere. 641 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 4: As I look to transition over to one of the 642 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 4: big stories of the day, and we'll talk about this 643 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 4: further af the top of the hour. This potential to 644 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 4: have ICE deployed to our international airports to assist with TSA. 645 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Your quick thoughts on that, I'm all. 646 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 3: In, you know, listen, you know, if we weren't, if 647 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 3: we weren't fighting a war, I'll say it a war 648 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 3: right now, I would have I would have also have 649 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 3: liked Donald Trump to maybe deploy some of our military's 650 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 3: air traffic controllers to the to the towers, especially when 651 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 3: you get stuff happening in places like La Guardian, Newark. 652 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, listen, I mean this is just it. 653 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 3: It's you know, this is the thing about Donald Trump 654 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 3: is that he's not going to be deterred. He's going 655 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 3: to find new ways to mess with their heads. And 656 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 3: U from a substant perspective, we got to get this 657 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: problem solved, and this is one of the ways to 658 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 3: do it.
