1 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Hour two. 2 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: Twin Cities News Talking Am eleven thirty and one three 3 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: five FM. Interesting commentary that I'll get to here in 4 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: just a moment from the iHeartRadio app Talkbacks brought to 5 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: you by Lyndahl Realty. Focusing once again, as we've talked 6 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: about many times on the show, this desire that you 7 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: have for Republicans to do more and what they should do. 8 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: I want to add some of my insight into your 9 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: comments here in a bit, but let me get you 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: up to speed of what's transpired over the course of 11 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: the past twenty four hours. So we did have an 12 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: end to the Democrat shutdown last night, but this is 13 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: not before House Democrats released new emails yesterday morning that 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: work hard to tie President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: sex crimes, with the White House immediately firing back, labeling 16 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 2: the emails as selectively leaked and designed to create a 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: fake narrative to smear Trump, and they're right. The redacted 18 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 2: name was of a woman who tragically took her own life, 19 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: but has sworn testimony. Depositions clearing President Donald Trump of 20 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: any wrongdoing. Also was in her memoir as well. Why 21 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: anybody would go and believe. A party that has done 22 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: everything in their power to drag this president down through lies, smears, propaganda, 23 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: bogus lawsuits. A party that was disappointed at the two 24 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: times that somebody went to go and attempt to take 25 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump's life. A party that celebrated when Charlie 26 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: Kirk was assassinated. A party that just kept the government 27 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: shut down for the longest time in history, and then suddenly, 28 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: out of nowhere, emails get dropped. Hey, look there's emails 29 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: in It's Epstein and it's Helene and Trump's involved in them. 30 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: Look over here, everybody. So why did they do this? Well, 31 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: they did this because the Democrats caused a lot of 32 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: harm in the shutdown and they weren't able to go 33 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: in successfully pin in on Republicans, and even Democrats were 34 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: upset with them over not getting anything for the shutdown. 35 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: There was reports yesterday that apparently within days of the 36 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: government closing, Democrats were about ready to come to the 37 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: table to reopen the government with everything that they got, 38 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: which was essentially a handshake deal for Republicans to revisit 39 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: the Obamacare subsidies, and before they had a chance to 40 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: go and take a vote, Chuck Schumer pulled everybody aside 41 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: and said, nope, we're going to keep everything shut down. 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: Reminds me quite a bit of Governor Tim Walls from 43 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: a couple of years back when he did something similar 44 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: during the legislative session. Both the Small Business Optimism Index 45 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: and the Federal Reserve reported the shutdown has already negatively 46 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: impacted the economy, and that was by design too, because 47 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Schumer and the Democrats want the ability to be able 48 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: to look at the economic devastation that will ensue in 49 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: the wake of the shutdown that's now over, and to 50 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: go and blame it on Trump because they do not 51 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: care if they lie. Millions of Americans unemployed are employed 52 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: by the federal government. Millions more work as federal contractors. 53 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: Subcontractors are for businesses that depend on federal contracts for funding. 54 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: At the most recent Federal Reserve meeting, Federal Chair Jerome 55 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: Pals that the negative economic effects should begin to reverse 56 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: once the governm reopens. Airlines for America estimates that flight 57 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: disruptions already have or will impact some five point two 58 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: million travelers. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that cuts to 59 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: fourth a quarter GDP growth could be as large it 60 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: excuse me. Cuts to fourth quarter GDP growth could be 61 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: a large as large as two percent, potentially delivering a 62 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: negative blow, and the Treasury Secretary Scott Pssent's plan to 63 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: keep the federal deficit at three percent of GDP in 64 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: his three to three to three plan. The CBO says 65 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: most of the decline in real GDP will be recovered eventually, 66 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: but estimates between seven billion and fourteen billion will not be. 67 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump went in yesterday and laid out the 68 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: economic damage done by the shutdown in. 69 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: The past seven weeks. The Democrats shut down as inflicted 70 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: massive harm. They caused twenty thousand flights to be canceled 71 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 3: or delayed. They departed so many times so late, people 72 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: were hurt so badly. Nobody's ever seen anything like this one. 73 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: This was a no brainer. This was an easy extension. 74 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 3: But they didn't want to do it the easy way. 75 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: They had to do it the hard way. They looked 76 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: very bad the Democrats do. They deprived more than one 77 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: million government workers from their paychecks and cut off food 78 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: stamp benefits of millions and millions more Americans than need. 79 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: They caused tens of thousands of federal contractors and small 80 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 3: businesses to go unpaid. And the total effect of the 81 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: damage their antics cause will take weeks and probably months 82 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: to really calculate accurately, including the serious harm that they 83 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: did to our economy and to people and the families. 84 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: So I just want to tell the American people you 85 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: should not forget this when we come up to midterms 86 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: and other things. Don't forget what they've done to our country. 87 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: You also want to call for a termination to the 88 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 3: Pilipbuster so that this can never happen again and again. 89 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: For the examples of how this was and why this 90 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: was so bogus, let me play for you another clip. 91 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 2: So this is a reporter grilling the newly installed Democrat 92 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: Representative at Alita Griholva after the Epstein file vote blocked 93 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: by her own party and blocked Representative Tim Burchett's motion 94 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 2: to bring the Epstein files straight to the House floor. 95 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: So they asked Atlita about this. She's way out of 96 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: her league, by the way. She was a big fish 97 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: in Arizona, being the daughter of Raoul Grihalva, and I 98 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: spent almost a decade there covering the news. But she's 99 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: not anymore. But when she was asked about this, she 100 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: ended up defaulting to somebody else. 101 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 102 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: Democrats continue to say that it's Republicans who are keeping 103 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: the Epstein files hidden. But Congressman Tim Burchett is just 104 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 4: reporting that he tried to bring a release of the 105 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: Epstein file to the floor immediately and Democrats blocked it. 106 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: Do you have any insight as to what happened there 107 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 4: and why when just afforded it just about four minutes. 108 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I tried to do a use the unanimous consent 109 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 5: of a tried to get the Epstein files, get it 110 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 5: straight to the floor, just to cut out all this nonsense, 111 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 5: and you know, and the Democrats blocked it. Audla En, Now. 112 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 6: Look, I think it's I think it's incredibly clear that 113 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 6: Republicans will stop at nothing to avoid the disclosure of 114 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 6: this information. So what that means is two hundred and 115 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 6: eighteen signatures were reached. Despite White House efforts even at 116 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 6: the eleventh hour to summon people down to the White 117 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 6: House to try to get them to remove their signatures, 118 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 6: those members said no. And so our rules indicate a 119 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 6: two hundred and eighteen members get a vote. And so 120 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 6: that's what we're looking forward to We're not looking for 121 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 6: people to avoid taking a vote on this, and that's 122 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 6: what that effort was. That is a weak effort to 123 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 6: try to allow Republicans to pass this measure without being 124 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 6: accountable and showing whether they support this or not. So 125 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 6: let's call the vote. The discharge process has its rules. 126 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 6: Let's bring the question up. Nothing prevents the Speaker from 127 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 6: bringing this up tomorrow if he wanted it done. But 128 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 6: if he drags it out and if the will of 129 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 6: those that bipartisan coalition holds, we will have this before 130 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 6: us in a couple weeks. 131 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: So to that point, first off, this is just a 132 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: word salad with no substance sticker. Mike Johnson did say 133 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 2: the House will vote on a bill to release all 134 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: files related to the late financier and the convicted child 135 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: sex offender Jeffrey Epstein next week. 136 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: They could have done it yesterday. 137 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: That was an interesting little dance that you heard there 138 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: from that Democrat representative trying to explain the way why 139 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: Democrats didn't want to do the vote yesterday. Johnson said 140 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: on Wednesday that a discharge petition to bypass leadership and 141 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: force a vote on the bill hit the benchmark for 142 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: the needed signatures. He's decided to expedite the vote for 143 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: the bill, which under current rules would have to be 144 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: delayed until at least early December. The discharged position received 145 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: the final signature it needed after Johnson, as I mentioned, 146 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: swore in Democrat at Alia Grihova. 147 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: Last night. 148 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: Four Republicans joined every Democrat to force a vote on 149 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: the release of the Epstein files. So we'll see what 150 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: shakes out from here. Let me play you one more 151 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: clip though, and then I want to get to your 152 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: comments relating to what Republicans can or can't do regarding 153 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: these issues. So this is from CNN. This is a 154 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: representative Melanie Stansbury. 155 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 7: Listen to this exchange like this should be raising every 156 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 7: hair in the back of neck right now. We don't 157 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 7: even know that that is who is named in this email. Secondly, 158 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 7: whether or not Virginia Dufrey has accused the president of wrongdoing, 159 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 7: what I'd like to say to the American people is 160 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 7: believe your eyes. We have all seen the photographs of 161 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 7: Donald Trump with underage girls sitting. 162 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 8: On his lap. 163 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 7: We know that he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein 164 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 7: for more than a decade. We know that he has 165 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 7: not complied with our congressional subpoena of the DOJ files, 166 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 7: and we know that he is named multiple times in 167 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 7: those files. So believe your eyes, believe your ears. And 168 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 7: my question is if they were not engaged in an 169 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 7: elaborate smokescreen and cover up, then why the hell is 170 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 7: the President calling and threatening members of Congress for them 171 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 7: to not take a vote on releasing these files after 172 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,359 Speaker 7: these files have already been subpoenaed. 173 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: Baseless claims, numerous claims baseless by their representative. But the 174 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: most telling ants respect of that whole thing is the 175 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: idea that she presents. He is guilty until proven innocent. 176 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: Believe your eyes when you see all of these things 177 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: that we tell you, when you see these photos and 178 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: we extrapolate and make stuff up regarding them, he is 179 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: guilty until he's proven innocent. And even then, according to Democrats, 180 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 2: he's of course guilty. Right Your comments coming up from 181 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app will turn our attention in the 182 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: hour over to fraud.

It's just so sickening 187 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 9: having to listen to these democrats and all their hatred 188 00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 9: and ridiculousness and all their lies. It's time I grew 189 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 9: up and acted like adults. Oh maybe they maybe they can't. 190 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: The quality of the follow of the show talkbacks has 191 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: greatly diminished. I have a theory as to why that's happened, 192 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: by the way, beyond the on set and continue to 193 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: suffering of Trump arrangement syndrome. I'll share that with you 194 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: in just a moment on Twin Cities News Talk Am 195 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: eleven thirty one oh three five FM from the six 196 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: y five to one carpet Next Day Install Studios. 197 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 8: John. 198 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: Then the double talkbackers can't understand how the liberal leftist hits. 199 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 10: Can't understand that. 200 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: Hey, if fight and have you think quite at it 201 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: foils to plunge le fast metal laugh canstane? 202 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: All right? 203 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: Let me stop there, because the quality of your talkback 204 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: is weak. 205 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: There gotta do something about that. Maybe get headphones are 206 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: a microphone or something. 207 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: That being said to his comment of the left being insane, 208 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: I give you this talkback. He left one earlier this 209 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: morning just because of the ridiculousness of it. I wanted 210 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 2: to I share it again, breaking my rule of only 211 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: playing one talkback per person. I typically break that when 212 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: it comes to foes of the show. 213 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: Donald Trump could say the water is not wet, and 214 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 6: John Justice would believe every single word he said. 215 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: First off, you know you're leaving those talkbacks for me, 216 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: like I see them. You can just speak directly to 217 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: me and just if you wanted to, like for example, 218 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: you could just say Donald Trump could say water is 219 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: not wet, and you would believe every single word that 220 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: he said. Well, first off, water isn't wet. I mean, 221 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: the premise would suggest that there's a point in time 222 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: when water isn't water. I mean water makes things wet, 223 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: So technically speaking, it's not it's not wet. Again, the 224 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: quality of the talkbacks has diminished greatly. He originally called 225 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: and was claiming Trump was a pedophile based off of well, 226 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: just based off of their own assertion. 227 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. 228 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: People already thought that long before the Epstein email smear 229 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: that dropped yesterday. 230 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: But instead I get that. My theory is that a. 231 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: Lot of foes of the show, they listen, they tune in, 232 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: and then they actually hear common sense, rational commentary was 233 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: sometimes a humorous edge to it and a little bit 234 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: of Nascar and Star Wars thrown in, and it turns 235 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: them around. So by the time they go and leave 236 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: a talkback, I've saved people from their liberalism. 237 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: That's what I'm That's what I'm going with. 238 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: When Groc was asked yesterday about these email leaks, this 239 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: is what Groc had to say, specifically asking Rock, are 240 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: these new Epstein emails the smoking gun? Groc had this 241 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: to say, No, they aren't a smoking gun. Their unverified 242 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: claims Epstein made in twenty eleven to Maxwell and a 243 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: journalist long after his conviction. With no coroborating evidence implicating 244 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: Trump in the crimes, Epstein had every reason to exaggerate 245 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: or lie to shift scrutiny. Democrats timed the release. A 246 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: timed release smells like political opportunism, especially lacking independent proof 247 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: amid prior Epstein files that cleared Trump of wrongdoing. Thank you, Groc, 248 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: and if you needed more evidence of why the Democrats 249 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: were attempting to change the subject, let me play this 250 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: for you. Senator John Fetterman drew a shocked response from 251 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: CNN anchor Dana bash when he told her that the 252 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: most vicious attacks aimed at him have not come from conservatives, 253 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: but rather those on the left. 254 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 11: You said, quote, I drunk deeply of the venom of 255 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 11: both the left and the right. As a connoisseur, I 256 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 11: can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from. 257 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: The far left. 258 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 11: That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as 259 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 11: an elected Democrat. 260 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 10: Why yeah, yeah. 261 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 12: Yeah, no, you know, it's been it's just been my 262 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 12: personal experience on this thing. 263 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 10: And when I asked my digital team, I. 264 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 12: Said, you know, you're we're on all the platforms, you know, really, 265 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 12: what's what's kind of the harshest, what's kind of the 266 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 12: most personal? 267 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 10: And the answer was immediately said, oh, blue sky. It's 268 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 10: blue sky. And the difference is, I. 269 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 12: Mean, the right would say really rough things and names, 270 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 12: you know, some names I won't I won't repeat on TV. 271 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 10: But but but the the. 272 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 12: On the left, it was like they want me to die, 273 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 12: or that we're cheering for your next stroke, or that's 274 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 12: terrible that depression wants why couldn't it depression one? And 275 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 12: and I hope your kids find you, uh, I mean 276 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 12: they even have. 277 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 10: Like the graphic. 278 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 12: A gift where they have like a stroke you know, 279 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 12: you know, in your head and cheering yeah, and. 280 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 10: And they said that. 281 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 12: I remember one they claimed the doctor let us down 282 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 12: and why did they have to save his life? 283 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 10: I mean just really like, I. 284 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 12: Just can't imagine people are are wishing, you know, I 285 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 12: wish he dies or I want him to die, you know, 286 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 12: literally cheering for for a stroke. And I don't know 287 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 12: what the kind of a place where that comes from. 288 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 12: I mean, that's that's much different than just calling me 289 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 12: a name, you know, and that's that's really been consistent, 290 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 12: you know, in that community online. 291 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 2: And it serves to underscore just how grotesque this smear 292 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: campaign was yesterday and how it actually diminishes the seriousness 293 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: and the severity of what Epstein did. Democrats have plenty 294 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: of ways, and you'll see this over the course of 295 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: the next four years and even this year, in which 296 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: they are going to continue to do smear campaigns like 297 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: this just to go and distract. It's pure political theater. 298 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: They knew it wasn't going to stick, they knew that 299 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: it was easily refuted, but they blasted this out yesterday, 300 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: dominated the commentary online and legacy media taking away the 301 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 2: attention from the fact that they caved on the shutdown, 302 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: And as I talked about it at the start of 303 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: the show, woke up this morning and it was all 304 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: but gone. So if you weren't paying attention yesterday to 305 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: the news or on social media, you probably weren't even 306 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: aware that this had happened. 307 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: And yet it was on. 308 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: The front page in all of the headline stories on 309 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: every single news outlet. Now to the issue of Republicans 310 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: not doing enough, and why Republicans aren't hurt enough and 311 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: why aren't they countering these claims. I want to get 312 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: to a couple of talkbacks and share some more of 313 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: my thoughts. Then we're going to dive into how state 314 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: Representative Pam Altendorf pushing back after Fox nine reported the 315 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: Minnesota recently publicized the one hundred and seventy four percent 316 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: jump and snap issuance was the result of a reporting error. 317 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: This raises a host of new questions, and we'll get 318 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: into this coming up and more of your comments from 319 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndall Realty. Next 320 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: on Twinsday's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh 321 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: three five FM. What are you doing Democrats? 322 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: So last Hour had a couple of different. 323 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: Talkbacks, and I received these quite often frustration coming from 324 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 2: friends of the show who believe that Republicans aren't doing enough. 325 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: He had a friend of the show, Tim had left 326 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: a couple of comments about asking why Republicans aren't out 327 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: there hammering the reality around these Obamacare subsidies and how 328 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: they were tied to COVID. Had another friend of the 329 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: show left to talk back relating to Republicans doing more, 330 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 2: need to do more? And I responded to that and 331 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: said here on Twin Cities News Talk from the sixty 332 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: five to one carpet plus Next Day Install studios that 333 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Republicans are but they're just not getting their voices amplified. 334 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: And I raised the question, well, what else would you 335 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: like them to do? Specifically, when it comes to the 336 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: mainstream media, legacy media, drive by media, whatever you want 337 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 2: to call them. Press conferences are held all the time 338 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 2: candidates elected officials in and out of session, but if 339 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: the media doesn't go and cover it, and you're not 340 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: going to see it. So again to the question of 341 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 2: what more can Democrats do? I want to give the 342 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: friend of the show an opportunity to respond. 343 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 8: As much as I hate TikTok and that kind of stuff, 344 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 8: you wanted to know what the Republicans can do. Maybe 345 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 8: all of the Republicans should have TikTok accounts. 346 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 13: Go on Facebook more, and just smear the. 347 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: Truth like that. 348 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 8: I realize they can't sit in front of a news 349 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 8: channel and demand coverage, but they sure can do a 350 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 8: stupid TikTok channel and then maybe some of the TikTok 351 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 8: ding gongs will listen to it if they keep doing 352 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 8: it over and over and over. 353 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 14: Now. 354 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 2: I'll address that in just a moment, but let me 355 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: share another talk back from the iHeartRadio app John. 356 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 14: I agree with the lady that called in a few 357 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 14: minutes ago. The Republicans have to get out there and 358 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 14: do a better job of trying to win the pr war. 359 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 14: They've never won it, they've never been good at it. 360 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 14: They've been better at it the last few years because 361 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 14: of Trump, but they've. 362 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: Got to follow Trump. 363 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 14: They've got to get out there and tell people and 364 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 14: at least convince those people on the edges. 365 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 10: You're not going to. 366 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 14: Convince the far left, but people on the edges. 367 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: So let me start here. 368 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: Let me start here with that second talkback, what does 369 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: winning the pr war look like to you? 370 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean, what does that mean? 371 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: So if you asked me, not a phrase that I use, 372 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: but if you asked me, I would say, well, it 373 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: means that we won last year during the election, when 374 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: Republicans grabbed the power and Trump won a second non 375 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: consecutive term. That being said, maybe you have a different 376 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: definition of what a pr war means. I will say 377 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: that conventionally, speaking of this fictional, this hypothetical thing here, 378 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: they're never going to And this goes back to the 379 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 2: other friend of the show talkback. I can tell you 380 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: Republicans do have TikTok accounts. Plenty of congressional Democrats, members 381 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: of the legislature have TikTok accounts, have ex accounts, have 382 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: social media accounts. 383 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: I see their posts. I would venture a guess. 384 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: I could confidently say that without having the data in 385 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: front of me. Just an totally speaking, there are just 386 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: as many TikTok accounts for elected officials that are Republicans 387 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 2: as there are Democrats, and even more so TikTok, Facebook, x, 388 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 2: you name it, and even more so there are more 389 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: commentators conservative commentators on those platforms that are amplifying the 390 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: messages and the things that we talk about. But if 391 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: those are not being spread by other outlets and other means, 392 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: and you don't see them, there's not much else that 393 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: Republicans can do that is happening. Republicans have gotten a 394 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 2: lot better. Can they get better at it? Sure they can. 395 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: But I can tell you firsthand, in the time that 396 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: I have been doing radio, I can tell you firsthand 397 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: that Democrats still do a good job. But Republicans have 398 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 2: stepped up their game and are dominating within that public 399 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: sphere in a way that they haven't in years past. 400 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 2: But they have all of those accounts, but if they're 401 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: not being spread, there's nothing you can do about it. 402 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: And ultimately, this is the point that I want to make. 403 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: If we want to win pr wars, if we want 404 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: to win elections down the road, I'll just I'll share 405 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: with you my view. I'm not going to get frustrated 406 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: at fellow Republicans because I don't think that they're because 407 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: I think they're not doing enough. I'm just not going 408 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: to do that. I see posts all the time, but 409 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: if those voices aren't amplified, and I was getting lost 410 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: in my words, that's the term I was looking for. 411 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: If their commentary isn't amplified, there's only so much that 412 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: you can end up doing. 413 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: And what I would say is. 414 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: Spend less time getting mad at Republicans and more time 415 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: supporting the candidates that you support and trying to increase 416 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: the number of individuals that are going to go out 417 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: and vote. 418 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: Because if we continue to. 419 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: Go in arbitrarily, and that's how I kind of view this, 420 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: we're kind of arbitrarily and almost and not to offend anybody, 421 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: but almost irrationally criticizing Republicans, then that's negative energy that 422 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: is not going to positively contribute to winning strategies to 423 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: get more Republicans elected in the future. But take it 424 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: from somebody who knows if you trust me at all, 425 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: you don't have to you believe what you want to 426 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 2: believe of what I say on this show. But if 427 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: you trust me at all, I'm telling you Republicans are 428 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 2: out there spreading this news countering Democrat arguments. There are 429 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: way more conservative commentators on platforms like TikTok. Myself included 430 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 2: post on average three videos a day up online, and 431 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: there are plenty of other Republicans that are doing exactly 432 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: the same thing, and a lot more conservative commentators doing 433 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: the same thing. 434 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 15: Good morning. In response to the comments about the Republicans 435 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 15: not doing more, my question is. 436 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: What are you doing? 437 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 15: Are you involved in your BPOU? Do you know who 438 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 15: the candidates or the potential candidates are for local offices? 439 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 15: Things change on a local level, so it's very important 440 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 15: for people not to sit home and complain but actually 441 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 15: do something. 442 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 16: Hey, good morning guys, John. I think going down to 443 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 16: the news station is exactly what they should do. We're 444 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 16: always talking about trying to think outside the box and 445 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 16: do different things. Pretty sure, elected officials have a pr budget. 446 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 16: You could hire a camera crew to come down to 447 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 16: CNN headquarters and start asking, like you're a reporter, the 448 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 16: actual journalist walking in and out, why you're not covering 449 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 16: these stories? Why are you lying? Get out there, do 450 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 16: something different. 451 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: I guess if we're just looking at this from a 452 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: do something different standpoint, then yeah, sort of as a hypothetical, 453 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 2: but even to the example you gave, I'm I'm not 454 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: exactly sure what you're going to accomplish. Let's just say 455 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 2: for the sake of argument here, and this is all 456 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 2: very subjective, by the way, I want to make sure 457 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: I point that out. I don't think there's any wrong 458 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 2: or right way to look at any of this. It 459 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 2: is all going to be very personal depending on your outlook, 460 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: the news that you consume, where you see it. 461 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: So I want to state that upfront. 462 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 2: I don't want to give off the impression that my 463 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: commentary on here ever, is like the end all be all. 464 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 2: Most of this is all very subjective, and this particular 465 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 2: topic is incredibly subjective. But even to what you're saying 466 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: to looking to reporters and journalists walking in and out, 467 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: and why aren't they covering these stories? First off, that 468 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: does happen, say, like at the White House press briefings? 469 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt constantly because I watch these, I'm doing my 470 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 2: prep and there's a White House Press briefing, I'll throw 471 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: it up on the TV and I'll have it on 472 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 2: in the background. 473 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: I grabbed the clips. I played them this morning. 474 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: She's constantly calling out the media for not talking about 475 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: these issues. But you're also preaching to the choir because 476 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 2: the individuals that you're going to be reaching and talking 477 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 2: to are individuals that already don't have any trust in 478 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: the media whatsoever. I would like to see more attention 479 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: put on what I mentioned, and that is getting out 480 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: supporting your candidates. If you can knock on doors, if 481 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,239 Speaker 2: you can donate money, post your own comments, get your 482 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 2: own social media accounts. You have to grow those you 483 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: don't immediately have followers. I have to grow my own 484 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: followers as well. But you can do your part too. 485 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: But at the same time, let's not drag down our 486 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 2: party for sort of irrelevant commentary and criticism when we 487 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: need to make sure that we have as many individuals 488 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: who are registered to vote going out to vote when possible. 489 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 17: Good morning, John, and I know I'm speaking directly to you. 490 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 17: I think that overall the Republicans do have accounts out there, 491 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 17: and for anybody calling and complaining, go out there and 492 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 17: follow those people on whatever platform you find them, and 493 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 17: then you share their information because again there's only so 494 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 17: much that gets shown on the mainstream media and they 495 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 17: can't force their way on there. 496 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: Have great day, well, and you're also beholden to the 497 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 2: algorithm too. I mean, this is such a detail conversation. 498 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: I understand the desire to have a blanket approach to 499 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: move forward and to get things done and to generalize, 500 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: but The truth is these are all so nuanced, with 501 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: thousands of variables involved. When you're talking about mainstream media, 502 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: you're not even necessarily talking about the journalists themselves. Yeah, 503 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: they should be held accountable for the commentary that they give, 504 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: But do you think those anchors, and I don't care 505 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: what network you're watching, do you think that they are 506 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: all personally hand picking which stories they are covering? No, 507 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: they're done by committee. So do even go and hold 508 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: the one individual accountable. They are the face and I 509 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: understand that, but there's a whole bunch of people behind 510 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: closed doors that are over there making decisions on what's 511 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: going to get covered and what's not going to get covered. 512 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: So to the other talkbacker's point, you can go and 513 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: question that anchor, that journalist outside of CNN headquarters. 514 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: But even if you. 515 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: Humiliated them to the point where they decided to go 516 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 2: and call it a day, do you really think for 517 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: a second there's not going to be another journalist waiting 518 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: in the wings that's going to be more than happy 519 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: to get behind that desk, to get in the makeup 520 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: chair and get it in front of that camera and 521 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: talk about the stories that are being chosen by committee. 522 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: Byd closed doors, and when it. 523 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: Comes to posting things online, the algorithm is going to 524 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: feed individuals whatever they typically go and look at. So 525 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: if they're only looking at their own liberal voices, they're 526 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 2: not going to be fed. Commentary from timber Chet from 527 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: a secretary of Brook Rawlins that we'll play here in 528 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: just a moment regarding the snap but benefits as well. 529 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, let's go here. We're going to talk 530 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: with Rob dor from the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus. Coming 531 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: up just after the top of the hour, city of 532 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 2: DNA has gone and moved forward with a firearm ordinance. 533 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 2: In the meantime, Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus immediately went and 534 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: sued the City of e Dinah. I'm glad that they 535 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: did for going and moving forward on that firearm or ordinance, 536 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: completely ignoring the preemption that we have here in the state, 537 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: but under the continued banner of fraud. I want to 538 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: share this with you from Center of the American Experiment 539 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: and Bill glan this actually comes from and he's highlighting 540 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: some comments made from a Bloomberg opinion column. Minnesota is 541 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: becoming the land of ten thousand frauds. Bill says, I 542 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: would update the headline with has become The column was 543 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: written by Patricia Lopez, formerly of the Minnesota Star Tribune. 544 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 2: Lopez writes, this, in a state that once prided itself 545 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: on clean government, fraud allegations have been turning up in 546 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: an array of nonprofits the state depends on to carry 547 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: out programs relating to housing, nutrition, assistance, childcare, and more. 548 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: The constant taxpayers could exceed. 549 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: One billion dollars according to the US Attorney's Office here 550 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. There isn't a single word bill wrights and 551 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: the above paragraph that couldn't have been written three years ago. 552 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: Lopez then recounts some of the intervening scandals and then 553 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: poses a question, how do we get here? Lax oversight 554 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 2: perhaps a complex web of two close relationships between regulators 555 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: and those they oversee. We've been resting on our laurels 556 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: for forty years on how good and clean our government is. 557 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: That's according to the political science professor David Schultz, the 558 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: go to commentary when it comes to political science. Professor 559 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: Schultz writes, Glawn is correct. I've been saying the same 560 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: thing for going back more than three years, but three 561 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: years ago publishing such statements was considered to be racist slander. 562 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: What's changed? 563 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: Professor Schultz notes this the other problem is probably a 564 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: consequence of one party rule. Democrats have filled nearly every 565 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 2: top state wide elected office for over a decade. Again, 566 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: he is correct, but some of the blame must be 567 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: placed on miss Lopez and her former employer, the Star Tribune. 568 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: All the stories she mentions have been around for at 569 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: least the last decade, going back to the childcare scandal 570 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: noted above. By the way, quick correction, I complained in 571 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: my stories, there's so many different firearm ordinances that our 572 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 2: cities are moving forward with. There is the Dyna firearm ordinance, 573 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: of which a Minnesota gun Owner's Caucus is threatening. But 574 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: then we also have Saint Paul. Saint Paul Moves has 575 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: made moves over their illegal gunman, of which the Minnesota 576 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: gun Owner's Caucus has sued. So Rob do Or is 577 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: going to help me. I'll break all of this down 578 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: coming up just after the top of the hour. So 579 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 2: my apologies for conflating the two different cities that were 580 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: acting stupidly, both of which are being held accountable by 581 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: the Minnesota gun owners Caucus. All right, wrapping up this 582 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: piece about fraud from the center of the American experiment. 583 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: The Star Tribune buried the stories because they reflected badly 584 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 2: on the one party rule that Patricia Lopez and other 585 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: editors favored. It fell to out that's like the New 586 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 2: New York Post the UK Daily Mail to bring these 587 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: scandals to public attention. Back in Minnesota, David Berg wrote 588 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: back in twenty thirteen, journalism is about covering important stories 589 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 2: with a pillow until they stop moving. Lopez is justified 590 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 2: in her concern that popular support for the state's generous 591 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: welfare programs has dropped as fraud stories have become more 592 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 2: widely known. Too late now, I will say this though, 593 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 2: to this point, better late than never that this is 594 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: being covered and people are more confident in talking about 595 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 2: the fraud. Granted, it's had to get as bad as 596 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 2: it has gotten, with an estimated six billion if not more, 597 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 2: in fraud money just going up in smoke under DFL 598 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: rule here in Minnesota, but it is a positive step 599 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: forward that people are willing and stepping up to talk 600 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 2: about it, even if they are late to the party. 601 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: While other individuals have been talking about this forever up. 602 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 2: Precarious State documentary is one to go a note this 603 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: brought attention to a lot of these issues, but there 604 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: were individuals that were out there talking about it for 605 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 2: years prior to that documentary being made, and in underscores 606 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 2: the commentary that I was sharing a moment ago, and 607 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 2: that is it's just difficult if you're a conservative to 608 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: have your voice heard, and things have to get really, 609 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: really bad until these outlets that are so beholden to 610 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 2: Democrats actually go and speak up. Minnesota Snap surge explanation 611 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 2: is raising new questions. ALFA News had previously reported that 612 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: Minnesota saw the largest one year increase in SNAP issuance 613 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 2: of any state in the country. SNAP issuance in Minnesota 614 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 2: continued to grow in the years since, reaching more than 615 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 2: one point five billion in twenty twenty three, nearly triple 616 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 2: the number from four years ago. Fox nine had a 617 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 2: recent report citing the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and 618 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 2: Families claiming the spike was caused by a pandemic era 619 00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 2: reporting mistake, not to increase to benefit distribution. Altendor said 620 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 2: the state's explanation does not address how such a significant 621 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 2: error large enough to triple the SNAP spending could go 622 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 2: undetected across multiple fiscal years. She also noted that the 623 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: Fox nine requested her statement for its story but did 624 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: not include it in its broadcast or online article, and 625 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,439 Speaker 2: said the outlet was attempting to sweep it under the rug. 626 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: Yet another example of what I'm talking about. So in 627 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 2: this case, for whatever reason, you had Fox nine covering 628 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: the story. They talked with the representative, but they didn't 629 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: end up covering what she said. 630 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: On Laura Ingram. 631 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: However, Secretary USDA Brooke Rawlins, talking about the snap fraud 632 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 2: being out of control, had this to say on Fox 633 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 2: News with Laura Ingram, how do. 634 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 11: We stop this before it starts so they can't even 635 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 11: get as far as they get any schemes. 636 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: It's overwhelming. 637 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 13: It's pretty remarkable. And let me level set us for 638 00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 13: just a minute. It is so great to be on 639 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 13: to talk about this, and it's funny. I think, ohut, 640 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 13: Funny's probably not the right word, but I do think 641 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 13: what the Democrats did not include in their calculation and 642 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 13: their insane government shutdown was the fact that this spotlight 643 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 13: was going to be shined upon one of their favorite 644 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 13: government welfare programs that under Joe Biden increased forty percent, 645 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 13: where all that money went trying to buy elections. We're 646 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 13: not one hundred percent sure, but we're rolling it back now. 647 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 13: On day one, back in February, for me, we sent 648 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 13: a letter to every governor saying, send us your snap data. 649 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 13: All of this money that the federal government, the taxpayers 650 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 13: are paying for food stamps, we don't even know where 651 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 13: it goes, what happens, what they're doing with it. And 652 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 13: we said no more. So, twenty nine states complied and 653 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 13: twenty other twenty plus others did not, and we're suing. 654 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 13: We're in a litigation right now. But if the twenty 655 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 13: nine that complied, what we have found is staggering half 656 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 13: a million people getting benefits two times under the same name, 657 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 13: five thousand dead people, eighty percent of the able bodied Americans, 658 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 13: meaning they can work, they don't have small children at home, 659 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 13: they're not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, 660 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 13: and they choose not to work, of course, because they're 661 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 13: getting significant benefits from the taxpayer. So this light Laura 662 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 13: that has now been shined on what is perhaps one 663 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 13: of the most corrupt, dysfunctional programs in American history, that 664 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 13: we are working now. Very big announcements coming next week 665 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 13: on this we are cracking down. We now have a 666 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 13: plan to fix it, and we're really really excited about 667 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 13: doing that for the American people. 668 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 2: We have a couple of other gun related issues to 669 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: get to.
