1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: The audio, but I decided not to subject you to

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: his voice this morning. In his campaign announcement, Ellison said,

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm running for reelection to keep Minnesota a fair place

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: where rule of law prevails over power and privilege. Since

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Minnesota elected me seven years ago. Oh it's been that

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: long already. Uh, it feels like a lifetime. We've won

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: tough fights to help Minnesotans afford their lives. Again, I

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: ask you, that's Keith Elson helped you in any way

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: afford your life. He goes on to say, we don't

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: bow down to kings in America, Okay, not presidents, not billionaires,

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: not giant corporations, because everyone deserves to afford their life. Again,

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: that that's a new one for me. I'm kind of

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: stuck on it. Hey, we're gonna see I hope we're

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: not going to see more of this. Is this going

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: to be a new argument now? Is this going to

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: be something that democrats use and abuse over and over again?

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: You just simply you can't afford your life, well life, Well,

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, most people live in the negative, most people

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: have credit card debt.

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: His campaign announcement touts his accomplishments during his first two terms.

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what they are, I'll try to help

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: you out. I'm not sure again if any of these

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: have helped you afford your life at all. But he

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: says he's reduced the cost of insulin. Okay, all right,

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: fought price gouging by corporations. Was that taking place? I mean,

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: was that? Was that a huge deal? Okay? There's nothing

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: in fraud about this, in any of this. Let me

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: just jump to the end here. There's nothing relating to

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the billions in fraud. He hasn't done anything about that. Oh,

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: he has been a part of some forty lawsuits he's

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: filed against Trump. He goes on to say he helped

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: people struggling with medical debts, helped opioid hell the opioid

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: companies responsible for the epidemic, and then protected tenants from exploitation,

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: and protected student borrowers. Minnesota DFL chair Richard Carlbaum released

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: a statement on Ellison's campaign announcement, saying, and I'm just

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: going to read the first part of this because carl

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: Baum is a DFL hack shill, propaganda machine and doesn't

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: deserve much time and attention on this show. I thought

40
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Ken Martin was bad. Carl Boum's even worse. If it's possible,

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: he said, at a time when half of our country's

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: politicians ignore problems for their own convenience, Keith Elvison stands out.

43
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Well.

44
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I agree with the one part of that statement. Keith

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Elison absolutely absolutely does stand out.

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Now.

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: The article from Fox nine that I'm pulling from here

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: says Republicans have criticized Ellison throughout his time as attorney general,

49
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: saying he's allowed violent crime to spike across Minnesota. Ron Schultz,

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: who is running for Attorney general against Ellison, also criticized

51
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: to him for the recent fraud investigations, of which I

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago in Minnesota that happened under his watch. So,

53
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: first off, we have opportunities, we have golden opportunities this year. Well,

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: actually I'm sorry heading into next year, Okay, Ellison only

55
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: one by what one maybe two points last go around,

56
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: and there's an opportunity here to electorally remove Ellison and

57
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Walls from politics, even if it is temporary. I mean

58
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: that in and of itself is encouragement I think for

59
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: most people to get involved in your elections here in Minnesota.

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: Keith Ellison one hundred percent helped my wife and I

61
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 5: to be able to afford life.

62
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: We hated his.

63
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 5: Policies, so we moved to South Dakota. No, it saved

64
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: over forty thousand dollars in taxes in the last five years.

65
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: Thank you.

66
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well, okay, there's one probably not in the way

67
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: that Keith Ellison was referencing here in the piece.

68
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 6: Good morning, John, thank you for not subjecting my gears

69
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 6: to narcissistic Attorney General Keith Ellison. Part is we don't

70
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 6: have kings or recognized kings. I don't seem to recall him.

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: It's broke up there all of us and dictator and

72
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: during COLVID, yeah, I mentioned he was talking about the

73
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: time during during COVID and what the government did. Let's

74
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: get to a few more here as we kick off

75
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: the show this morning.

76
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 7: Oh lord, Keith, you're going to make it more affordable.

77
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 7: Oh things are more expensive though when you started, so

78
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 7: you've already failed, and sure isn't going to be more

79
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 7: affordable as long as you pursue these the wasting of

80
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 7: millions of taxpayer dollars, pursuing your frivolous lawsuits based upon

81
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 7: ideology rather than actual law.

82
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 8: The Lord.

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 7: But there you go. Democrats.

84
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to cut it off before JD goes

85
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: in curses there. It's too early for that. JD. One

86
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: more as we kick off the show this morning. Did

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: Alison really he preached the cot with influence?

88
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 8: Because it be for me?

89
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: I remember something about Trump making sunjiong that involved be

90
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: preaching the cough with influence.

91
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 9: Yeah.

92
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: No, listen, you're you're absolutely correct. But it doesn't matter.

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: They It's second nature for them to lie. They'll teut

94
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: whatever argument they want it to out. They'll make whatever point

95
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: they want to make. It doesn't matter if there's any truth,

96
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: truth attached to it whatsoever. This is just where we

97
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: are in politics right now. It sucks. I wish it

98
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: wasn't that way, but it is the example that I

99
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: recently shared of Governor Tim Walls talking about the fraud

100
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: and having the nerve to actually say, you know, Republicans,

101
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: it's like driving by a fire and not stopping to

102
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: do anything about it. They've done nothing to go and

103
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: deal with the fraud here in Minnesota. It's just a

104
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: flat out lie. It's not even worth spending any more

105
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: time explaining why it's a lie. You know why that's

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: a lie. We're gonna talk more about this particular race,

107
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: how vulnerable Keith Elison is or isn't when Hank Long

108
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: from Alphinews joins us much later in the show, coming

109
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: up in the eight o'clock hour, right around eight thirty,

110
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: we'll get back to more of your talkbacks. So those

111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: are brought to you by Lindahl Realty from the iHeart

Speaker 1: Radio app. I want to get you up to speed

113
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: on three I Atlas. We're counting down to the twenty ninth.

114
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Apparently that's the big day abe, whether we know if

115
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: it's a comment or if this is actually, you know,

116
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: an alien species arriving to take us over like Independence Day.

117
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: There's one expert in here is going to be showing

118
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: up on Joe Rogan who believes that's the case. So

119
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you the latest on that, and we will

120
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: do a little bit more post mortem this hour or

121
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: two on No Kings and whether or not it was

122
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: successful in any way, shape or form for Democrats. Continue

123
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: to get those talkbacks into the iHeartRadio app and you

124
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: can email me justice at iHeartRadio dot com.

125
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 9: Ellison went after price gouging, but do you ever, look

126
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 9: at the universities and how much they overcharge for their

127
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 9: degrees that they hand out. There's a serious price gouging.

128
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Are the books that need to be purchased. Some gouging's

129
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: okay by Democrats. Gouge away if it's not politically expedient.

130
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: No gouging if it helps the Democrat cause. Gouge Hello,

131
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: good morning morning.

132
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 8: It's my firm belief that nothing's ever going to change

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 8: in this state until we get back to paper ballots

134
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 8: and election day not election month.

135
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, I want all of those things as well. I

136
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: disagree with the premise these elections that have been won

137
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: by the DFL recently. I'm just going back to almost

138
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: a year ago. They won by the smallest of margins.

139
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the balance of power within the Senate Legislature

140
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: was determined by some four hundred and thirty two votes.

141
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: If you just get involved and get more people involved

142
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: to those that are registered to vote, we can win.

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Republicans can win elections. So I do want to see

144
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: everything that you mentioned. I think that's important. And you

145
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: do have an infrastructure in place within the GOP that

146
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: is making sure to provide as much election integrity as

147
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: possible to the process on election day, but elections can

148
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: still absolutely be one. And I dismiss that too because

149
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to see people turned off from getting involved.

150
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: And if one person can get turned off, then four

151
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: hundred five hundred people can get turned off. Bye. Well,

152
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: nothing's ever gonna change. We're always going to lose elections

153
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: election fraud. No, you can only control what you can control.

154
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: So get as many people out to vote, and keep

155
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: encouraging people to vote. Do what you want to do

156
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: personally to help deal with election integrity, but otherwise remain

157
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: positive with the system that we have in place. And

158
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: again remember that there is a considered effort within the

159
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: GOP to deal with election integrity and the potential fraud.

160
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: And we have a story coming up later on in

161
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: the show where a woman actually committed voter fraud here

162
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota in voting for Trump. But I don't care

163
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: which side of the political spectrum you fall on, you

164
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. And it's another example that voter

165
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: fraud does absolutely it exist. All right, let's do one

166
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: more on Ellison. Happy hump Day, John, Happy Humpty, Lou.

167
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing how they're strangers to the truth that aliens

168
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: to the honesty, and Keith Ellison checks both boxes well, speaking

169
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: of aliens from the Blaze. In case you weren't aware,

170
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: right now, there is a giant interstellar object roughly the

171
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: size of Manhattan, hurtling through our solar system, dubbed a

172
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: three I Atlas. Scientists speculate that it's nothing more than

173
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: a natural comment or rogue planetary fragment. Calculations suggest that

174
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: it poses no threat to Earth or her citizens or

175
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: his citizens, and will miss us by millions of miles.

176
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: That's unless it slows down in turns. Harvard astronomer Avy

177
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: Lobe isn't ready to dismiss a three eye Atlas as

178
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: a harmless astronomical entity. There's too many strange coincidences surrounding it.

179
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: And he is supposed to be making an appearance very

180
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: soon on the Joe Rogan podcast. I'm looking forward to that.

181
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: He was on Glenn Beck recently. He told Glenn the

182
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: four reason he four reasons he believes that it's no

183
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: ordinary space object. First three I at lists gives low

184
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: pause because of its gargantuan size. It is significantly larger

185
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: than its two predecessors. That would be a muamoa and

186
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: two I Borisov a million times more massive than a

187
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: muamoa and a thousand times more massive than Borisov. So

188
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: why is that significant? Well, Loebe says, there's not enough

189
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: rocky material, even coming from Glandafu. There's not enough rocky

190
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: material in an interstellar space to supply such a giant

191
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: one once per decade. In our solar system, we would

192
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: expect it once per ten thousand years or so. The

193
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: second reason he believes the three eye at Let's could

194
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: be a UAP is because according to the Hubble telescope images,

195
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: the light to object to the light the object emits

196
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: is pointing toward the Sun, and that's opposite to what

197
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: comments do, where light points away from the Sun, giving

198
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: them a tail like appearance. He says, it's like seeing

199
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: an animal in your backyard and everyone says, oh, it

200
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: must be a street cap because it has a tail,

201
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: And then you look at the photograph of the animal

202
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: and then you see the tail as actually on its forehead.

203
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: Reason number three is that the trajectory of three I

204
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: atlas is aligned within five degrees of the elliptical plane

205
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: the planets around the Sun. In simple terms, it's moving

206
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: along the same highway as the Solar System panels, an

207
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: uncommon trajectory for interstellar objects. The chance of that, he says,

208
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: is one in five hundred. Lobe says an alien force

209
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: would need to take this route if it wanted to

210
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: do a reconnaissance mission again, they'll take one quick look

211
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: and just fly right on by. Lastly, the arrival time

212
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: of three I at LISS is peculiar, he says. It's

213
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: passing through our Solar system at it's a unique moment,

214
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: coming very close to Mars, Venus and Jupiter, a rarity

215
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: that gives these planets a rarity. Given these planets are

216
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: constantly moving, you need the perfect timing to line up

217
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: near all three. That's another coincidence that might indicate fine tuning,

218
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: Lobe told Glenn Beck. Now the experts attribute the unusual

219
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: traits to ratendom chance. When it comes to three I

220
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: at list, Lobe argues that the odds and such coincidences

221
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: are one in a million. Look, I have no idea.

222
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: There was a photo going around yesterday. It was like

223
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: this is what the Chinese caught, And it looked like

224
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: it had a bunch of lights on it, which makes

225
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: me laugh, because then you had suddenly now experts in

226
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: astronomy and alien spacecraft going, why would it have lights?

227
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: Why would they need windows? Well, who knows if they're windows.

228
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: No one was saying it was a star destroyer. Could

229
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: just be lights on it for some reason. I don't know,

230
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: they're an alien speechies. It turns out, though, that was

231
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: a photograph manipulated from a real photograph of a distant

232
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: galaxy somewhere, so that was bogus. I just love all

233
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: of the speculation and I'm happy to go and share

234
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: it with you. Any thoughts you have, drop those on

235
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio brought to you by Lyndahl reel to you.

236
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: We'll get do some of the talkbacks that have already

237
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: rolled in regarding No Kings and whether or not it

238
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: was successful in any way for Democrats. Before we get

239
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: into that, though, I do want to update you on

240
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: Arizona and Representative elect Adelita Grahova has not been sworn

241
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: in yet and the Arizona Attorney General has now filed

242
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: a lawsuit because she's not been sworn in yet. Yeah,

243
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: we'll get into the details of this. I have some

244
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: background of my time in Arizona on Adelita that I

245
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: will share with you as Wednesday's show continues here on

246
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: twins Citi's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one on

247
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: three five FM. You're fascinating to.

248
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 9: Talk to.

249
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Gunday.

250
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: I see what you did there.

251
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 5: I guess we better invest in some raid.

252
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a Starship Trooper's reference for those that

253
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize why I tossed that in a moment ago

254
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk broadcasting from the sixty five to

255
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. Glad you're with the

256
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: show this morning. All right, we got to do a

257
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: roundup of talkbacks here on a number of different topics

258
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: from this morning. I did have a few more that

259
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: rolled in regarding Keith Ellison running for a third term,

260
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: and we'll talk extensively about this with Hank Long from

261
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Alpha News when he joins us in the studio at

262
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: eight thirty this morning. But let's go back to the

263
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app talkbacks.

264
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: More, John Devin, I am beyond fatigued listening to the

265
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: likes of Keith Ellison or Chuck Schumer go on and

266
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: on while they are somehow making my.

267
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Life better or your life better. For that matter.

268
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: The role of government is simply to administer public goods,

269
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: which is things like defense, not to get me out

270
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: of my student loan debt or get me a free

271
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: hand out for this or for that. That's up to

272
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: me to get out there and do my job every

273
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: day as a productive citizen.

274
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: There.

275
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right, Keith Ellison has a good shot

276
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: of winning again because right now Democrats just simply don't

277
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: care about everything that you just mentioned, even though you're correct.

278
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: And this goes back to my conversation, and we'll revisit

279
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: that because I have a few comments that rolled in

280
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: on that as well. But this goes back to my

281
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: conversation and my comments relating to conducting ourselves currently moving

282
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: forward in the next election cycle. But before we get

283
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: to that, this.

284
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 10: Is representing Meler. The one way that Keith Ellison has

285
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 10: saved my family money is when we've had to defend

286
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 10: ourselves by spending money against lawsuits against unlawful laws that

287
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 10: was passed during one party control, like not allowing faith

288
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 10: based institutions to have faith statements that students sign, you know,

289
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 10: violating their First Amendment rights, or when cannabis was de

290
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 10: beat out by skin color. So that's great. Thanks guys.

291
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, thank you Representative Mueller. I appreciate you listening

292
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: and dropping a talkback this morning, brought to you by

293
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: Lindahl Realty. Ellison is an activist. I mean, most most

294
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: Democrats now are most of them are the only people

295
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: that I am not going to throw into that category

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: are the ones that I'm not going to knock up

297
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: throw anybody in that category currently, I mean with what

298
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: they're aligning with and the lack of caring about hypocrisy

299
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: or the double standard. Now, they've all become activists. Some

300
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: are more so than others. Keith is activist to his core.

301
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls is a level of activism, but he's

302
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: also just a hack DFL politician. And we have some

303
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Wall's news to get to later on. He's

304
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: got a new I don't even know what you would

305
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: call it. It's not really a campaign ad. It's an

306
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: ad that he posted pushing back on the shutdown and

307
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: Republicans of him playing miniature golf. I'm not even joking.

308
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: So I'll share that with you in about an hour

309
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: from now. A couple of comments rolled in based off

310
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: of the We're never going to win elections unless we

311
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: go to one day voting, get rid of you long

312
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: term voting and paper ballots. I want to allow the

313
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: opportunity for the individual Rooney who left the talk back

314
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: to provide his rebuttal to my statement.

315
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 8: Oh, good morning. In rebuttal to the comment that I

316
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 8: made about paper ballots, voting months or a day not month,

317
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 8: you stated that that's not needed to change that we

318
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 8: almost want said how easy it would it be to

319
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 8: win if they were that way?

320
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course absolutely. You didn't hear what I said correctly.

321
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: It's okay selective hearing. People hear what they want to hear.

322
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. I have another talkback that

323
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: relates directly to that. I didn't say the change wasn't needed.

324
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: I said that I agree with you. I would like

325
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: to see us go to that way of voting, same

326
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: day voting, paper ballots and the like. One thing I

327
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: didn't mention last time, though, is you're never going to

328
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: get there unless you elect Republicans. So you need to

329
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: be able to elect Republicans based off the current system

330
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: that we have. And yes, we can still win elections

331
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: with the current system that we have. Last year's elections

332
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: are the evidence of that. I'm not just talking about Congress.

333
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking and in the presidency. I'm also talking about

334
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: here in Minnesota. Again, it was four hundred and thirty

335
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: two votes that decided the balance of power in the

336
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: Senate in the legislature, and it's split evenly and almost

337
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: had a one vote majority in the House. These are

338
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: close elections here in Minnesota and increase voter turnout by

339
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: half a percentage point in that last election, and the

340
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: GOP has control of both chambers. In Saint Paul.

341
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 11: John, you suggest that we can win more elections if

342
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 11: we have more people involved, and that's great if we

343
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 11: have fair elections. But why do you think that the

344
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 11: fraud only exists in the programs that have been abused

345
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 11: by the Democrats So far, they've been abusing elections. The

346
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 11: election fraud in Minnesota is horrible. So you have to

347
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 11: get the fraud out of there. And the way you

348
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 11: do that is how the caller suggests it, with paper

349
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 11: ballots and one day voting time.

350
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: Is it really windy today? I feel like I feel

351
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: like I'm speaking into the wind. People are not hearing

352
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I agree with you, But I laid

353
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: out the fraud situation. You're not going to be able

354
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: to if you believe that there is rampant fraud and

355
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: there is fraud taking place, I'm not going to go

356
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: so far to say that it's impacting elections to the

357
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: point where one side is winning over another. I haven't

358
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: seen these specific evidence to that. Is it likely. Maybe

359
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: fraud does take place, and that's enough alone to go

360
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: to what you're talking about with paper ballots in one

361
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: day voting, But you're never going to get there unless

362
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: you put Republicans into power. So how do you put

363
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: Republicans into power? Now? You don't go and lean on

364
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: it's all fraudulent. Don't get involved, because that's what those

365
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: comments speak to. In my opinion. You want to talk

366
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: about the fraud, talk about the product, you do, whatever

367
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: is you want to do. I'm just telling you my

368
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: attitude towards it. I would like to see us go

369
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: to a more secure election when those days arrive via

370
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: the ways that you guys are talking about, But right now,

371
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to do that. So

372
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: you need to increase the number of individuals Republicans registered

373
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: to vote and get them out to vote to increase

374
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: those numbers, and you're not going to do that. If

375
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: people are convinced that it's unnecessary or irrelevant or a

376
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: waste of time to go and vote because there's so

377
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: much fraud, then you're just going to keep losing and

378
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: things are going to stay the way that they are.

379
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Talk about your fraud. We want to take care of it.

380
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: We've got to get people involved. We can still win elections,

381
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: it's been proven, and move forward. We can, you know, again,

382
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: tinker around the edges of relating to policy in the future.

383
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: But I just feel like we need to. I believe

384
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: we need to dispense with all this negativity surrounding elections,

385
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: being unsecure while still being concerned about it, and maintain

386
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: a positive attitude that we can win elections with the

387
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: current system that we have in place. If you don't

388
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: believe that, then that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion.

389
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Then don't bother to go and vote, but don't discourage

390
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: other individuals because that does nobody any good. Arizona Attorney

391
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: General Chris Mays has filed a lawsuit that seeks to

392
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: get Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in as the state's newest

393
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: member of Congress after US House Speaker Mike Johnson has

394
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: refused to seat her a month after she won the post. Yeah,

395
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: there's a government shutdown going on. Listen Adelie de Grihalva.

396
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: She is the daughter of a progressive Democrat, Raoul Groova,

397
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: who died in March after serving in Congress for more

398
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: than two decades. She's now a little bitty, irrelevant newbie

399
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: fish in a big political lake in DC. And see

400
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: she's used to because of her ties to her father

401
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: having her way and control of the political machine in

402
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: an area of southern Arizona. She doesn't get that anymore,

403
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: even though she's still acting like it. The Democrat Attorney

404
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: General filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Washington on behalf of

405
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: Grahova and asked a judge to let other people who

406
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: are authorized to administer the oath swear Goriholva in if

407
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: Johnson has not done so. Mas has previously said that

408
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: the delay in giving Grihova the first Latina to represent

409
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Arizona in Congress. According to the article from Newsbacks, the

410
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: oath of office leaves over eighty excuse me, eight hundred

411
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: thousand people in Southern Arizona, in the Southern Arizona district

412
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: without representation. Yeah, well, you know what, they're all used

413
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: to that, having had her father serving as their representative

414
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: for again, some two decades. Yeah, they're pretty used to

415
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: not having representation. She has echoed that, saying the delay

416
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: has left people in her district without the constituent services

417
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: that are normally provided by congressional offices. They don't care.

418
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: If they wanted that, they would have voted Raoul Garhova

419
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: out the many times when there were worthy challengers to him.

420
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Johnson has said that Adelie de Garhova will be sworn

421
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: in when the House returns to session and blame the

422
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: government shut down for the delay. Accused me as of

423
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: seeking publicity when she threatened to file the LASS. Yeah

424
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: it was an Adelide still thinks she's big time. She's

425
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: not anymore. She's irrelevant. She's a newbie in DC. She's

426
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: trying to have her way, but that's just not how

427
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: things work, and she's learning that rather quickly. All right,

428
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: let's get back to no Kings for just a moment. Here,

429
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: there's an article going back to last week anti Trump,

430
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: no King's protests supported by socialist organizations that love dictatorships.

431
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: Glenn Beck actually broke down some of the money that

432
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: was involved, some two hundred and sixty seven million of

433
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: activist groups, and I'll address that here in just a second.

434
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: This was a pro capitalist event by a lot of

435
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: different measures. When you consider transportation necessary for the two

436
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: to three million individuals that participated, gas, airlines for you know,

437
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: airline fares for those that traveled to a different state,

438
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: law enforcement, overtime and security, private companies renting out the

439
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: ridiculous costumes, the signs that were made, and T shirts,

440
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: local restaurants, big water reaping the benefits. Yeah, for a

441
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: protest that was aligned with a lot of socialists and communists,

442
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: it certainly had this pro capitalist bend to it. The

443
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: Atlantic had an interesting piece that came out on Sunday,

444
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: The Resistance is cringe, but it's also effective. I'm not

445
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna go it's a really length it's a real lengthy piece.

446
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: I went through the entirety of it. They don't really

447
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: land on any good conclusion or example of why this

448
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: was effective. There's also an editorial that I'll share with

449
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: you some details from in the Minnesota Reformer, from a

450
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: DFL activist named Conrad Zabowski. PJ Media had a piece

451
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: out yet yesterday as well that I wanted to share. Yes,

452
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: the No Kings rallies were ridiculous, but the Democrats still

453
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: won a big PR victory. Before I share this with

454
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: you and get to some of your thoughts on and

455
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: I want to play a couple of audio clips here,

456
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: one particular one relating to this. In the focus that

457
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: the Democrats have had over Trump and that ridiculous meme

458
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: that he put out of flying the jets and dropping

459
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: the excrement on the crowds, Democrats continue to freak out

460
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: over this, and I would actually argue that they're focusing

461
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: on this and want Trump did in large part over

462
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: What I'm going to argue here in a moment is

463
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: that despite what some people say, I don't think that

464
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: these protests were really all that successful for Democrats, and

465
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: if they were, they would be focusing on why they

466
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: were successful and not so much on Trump's parody videos.

467
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: But Jennings, of course on CNN was talking about this

468
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: with the other hosts and the anchor, and here's what

469
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: he had to say.

470
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: Why shouldn't the president use a made up video? To

471
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: respond to a rally that has a made up reason.

472
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a non existent reason. We don't have

473
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: a monarchy in this country. We have a presidency won

474
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 4: by Donald Trump, who won the popular vote, who won

475
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: the Electoral College, who won all the swing states.

476
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: We have a democracy.

477
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 4: People voted and they elected the president, and the only

478
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: thing they're mad about is that he is lawfully executing

479
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 4: the office of the presidency and enforcing laws that have

480
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 4: been on the books.

481
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: For a long time. So he made up a video.

482
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: They made up a reason to have a rally, and

483
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: I think it was kind of funny, to be honest

484
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 4: with you, I would point out, though, they would have

485
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: had a better use of their time this weekend knocking

486
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: on doors in Virginia or New Jersey than marching around

487
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: them all or whatever in crazy cat costumes this weekend.

488
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 9: Criticizing these people who went out to be Americans and

489
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 9: say they love their country and want their president to

490
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 9: listen to them.

491
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: That's not a good use of time. That's how frage is.

492
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 10: Well.

493
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: No, I mean, normal people were spending time with their

494
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: family and watching college football.

495
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't care how the time. If they want to go.

496
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: Out, if they want to go out, and if they

497
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: want to go out and protest, be my guest. They're

498
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: they're they're welcome to do it. Uh and uh And

499
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't really care whether they do it

500
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: or not. But I just happened to think if I

501
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: were Democrats, I would rather have directed that energy into

502
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: the campaigns that are going on this year instead of

503
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: marching around the way they did. But listen, you got

504
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 4: to spend your time however you want, as a free country,

505
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: not a monarchy.

506
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jennings, and I think alike. I've been saying exactly

507
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: the same thing on the show all week.

508
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 5: I briefly heard Claire and Buck yesterday and one of

509
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 5: them said that out of all the things that the

510
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 5: Democrats have called Trump, Hitler, Nazi, fascist, king, out of

511
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 5: all of those things, really King isn't so bad. There

512
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: have been some really good Kings.

513
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: So from PJ Media, Scott Pinsker writes this, the No

514
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: King's protests accomplished two things for the left. First, its

515
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: signaled to their ba so the Democrat Party is finally

516
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: ready to stand up and fight It certainly wasn't cool

517
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: incidental the protest took place during the Schumer shutdown. The

518
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: messaging and the timing was intentional. It gave their downtrodden

519
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: base a sorely needed shot in the arm. Second, he

520
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: goes on to say it's signaled to moderates and undecided

521
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: that not all anti Trump voices are violent, sociopathic, antifa

522
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: inspired wackaloons. For the most part, everybody behaved. For the

523
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: most part, the American flags outnumbered the Palestinian, Mexican and

524
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: LGBTQ flags. For the most part, the participants understood how

525
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: political theater works, followed their assigned script and kept their

526
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: noses clean, and because they did, the label of political

527
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: violence will be harder to pin on them. In the process,

528
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: they did open themselves up to further lampooning. Instead of

529
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: being led by young, energetic twenty somethings and no, King's

530
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: rallies were full of boomers and seventy something ex hippies.

531
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: Their outfits were ridiculous and unserious, but they success fully

532
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: energize their base, and they put reputational distance between themselves

533
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: and political violence. Not completely, of course, but progress was made.

534
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: We're fooling ourselves to think otherwise, and that alone made

535
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: it a big pr victory. I disagree. I disagree because

536
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: just because it wasn't violent doesn't mean that it wasn't

537
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: any more ridiculous. And as a matter of fact, I

538
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: would go the other direction and argue that because there

539
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: wasn't any violence and the clips that are shown, because

540
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: a lot of what comes out of the No King's

541
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: protest is going to be the videos that are shared online.

542
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: In the absence of having burning cities and buildings and

543
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: riots and stuff being thrown and tear gas billowing about,

544
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: you have videos of individuals being interviewed wearing ridiculous costumes,

545
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: not being able to articulate the No King's message or

546
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: why they're even angry at Trump beyond their own Trump

547
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: derangement syndrome. Now I'll share with you this editorial welcome,

548
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: We welcome everybody into this movement. Conrad Zebowski, Minnesota Reformer,

549
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: a DFL activist pen to this in the Minnesota Reformer.

550
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: I'll jump to the conclusion on this before I provide

551
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: you the details, though in it he doesn't go and

552
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: show how this was successful in any way just beyond

553
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: getting people to go out on a Saturday together and protest.

554
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: And I guess I would go and argue how is

555
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: the No King's protest any more effective than the ones

556
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: that were going on around Tesla. Democrats like to take

557
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: out to the streets and protest and put things on display.

558
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't always equal electoral victories, and in this case,

559
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: having this much energy, time and money spent on the

560
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: protest themselves, in my opinion, takes away their ability to

561
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: go and door knock, make phone calls, donate to campaigns.

562
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: But people feel differently. Let's go back to the iHeartRadio app.

563
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: More than six from BRAINERD. Yeah, the No Kings protests

564
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: were extremely successful, and like Ted Cruz mentioned, we need

565
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: to actually start treating them as serious. Millions of people

566
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: went on the street and voiced their concerns, even if

567
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: they're you know, true or not, or if they don't

568
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: have good points.

569
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Let me hold on real quick. I'll play the rest

570
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: of this. But even if they're true or not, or

571
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: don't have good points, those things still matter if you're

572
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: talking about inspiring individuals to go and get involved. If

573
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: you don't have good points or you're not making sense,

574
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: you're not inspiring anybody to go out and get involved.

575
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the context of what Ted Crud mentioned

576
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the no King's protests being successful? But

577
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: what do you mean by treating them seriously? What are

578
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: people supposed to do?

579
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: Oh?

580
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: That was.

581
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: Just take a stance that was they were very successful.

582
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the counter to that that there

583
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: isn't there's no reason to take them seriously. The protesters

584
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: themselves didn't take themselves seriously, So why should you or

585
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: or I take them seriously? And what does that even

586
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: mean beyond just lending credibility to a movement that's based

587
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: on a foundation of individuals who have simply convinced themselves

588
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: that Trump is the second coming of Hitler.

589
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: It's not worth mocking and saying, oh, they're all paid protesters.

590
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: No, not everybody is saying that. I'm not saying that

591
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: were some of them paid? Absolutely? Were the majority of

592
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: them paid?

593
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 5: No?

594
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: I just that argument, and of aself A drives me

595
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: nuts because again it's it is an excuse of well,

596
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: you keep them saying they're all paid. No, if there

597
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: is a Republican out there saying that all the protesters

598
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: are paid, they're wrong. Two things gonna be true at once.

599
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: Are some of them paid? Sure? Are all of them paid? No?

600
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, these were people very mad, and they're going to

601
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: vote in the midterm, So buckle up.

602
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: You have no way of knowing that. And I would

603
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: argue otherwise, people that go out and get involved like that,

604
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: that go and expend all that time and energy, they're

605
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: going to feel like they've accomplished something and they're going

606
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: to be less likely to actually go and do the

607
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: hard work. What I've been saying on the show, what

608
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings said in that clip a moment ago. We'll

609
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: get to your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app brought to

610
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: you by Lyndahl Realty coming up in just a moment.

611
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: We'll keep with the theme. Also, speaking of liberals freaking out,

612
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: the freak out continues and it is only growing daily

613
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: with Trump and the renovations to the White House and

614
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: his construction of the ballroom. And we'll also get to

615
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: that latest video from Governor Tim Walls. You've been warned
