I've been struggling this morning. 60 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 7: Oh, still struggling as I sit here and talk to you. 61 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 7: So I woke up a little early. I went to 62 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 7: bed a little early. This always happens. I got a 63 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 7: full night sleep, but I went to bed earlier, and 64 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 7: so because of that, my whole sleep schedule shifted, you know, 65 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 7: thankfully with the night commies. I got a good night's sleep, right, yes, 66 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 7: But I woke up and I had numerous text messages. 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, no, never a good sign, right, especially 68 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 7: the middle of the nights. Yeah, never a good sign. 69 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 7: So one of them was an audio recording from my son, 70 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 7: my youngest son, and he was detailing the circumstances of 71 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 7: which I'm gonna leave out a lot of I'm gonna 72 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 7: leave out a lot of specifics here because I'm gonna 73 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 7: have to do with this problem now. So he was 74 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 7: detailing a situation with one of the places that he 75 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 7: works wherein to just be straight up about it, he's 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 7: being harassed by employees and we've had an ongoing issue 77 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 7: with this particular situation. Okay, he works a couple of 78 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 7: nights a week part time on the weekend for a restaurant, 79 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 7: doing nothing with my fingers, keeps to himself, and we've 80 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 7: taught him listen, if people are getting in conversations regarding 81 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 7: politics and all that, just just stay out of it. 82 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 3: Just don't don't get yourself involved. Just don't, you know. 83 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 7: And it's hard, it's hard. You've been through this. I've 84 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 7: been through this. It's different for me. I'm in a 85 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 7: much different situation. But for those of you that are 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 7: in the workplace, you know how willing people are on 87 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 7: the left to just openly express their views on everything 88 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 7: without any sort of thought whatsoever to the people that 89 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 7: may be an earshot and how they might feel about politics. 90 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 7: You're also dealing with a group of individuals and employees 91 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 7: that are all around the same. Kyle's only nineteen years old, 92 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 7: so he's been dealing with this now for several weeks, 93 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 7: typically when he at least one of the nights when 94 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 7: he gets off of work, he's got some sort of 95 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 7: issue that he's talking about. 96 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: Now. 97 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 7: Granted, I'm going to be upfront, I am only hearing 98 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 7: one side of this whole thing, so I just want 99 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 7: to be clear about this. But We've had numerous conversations 100 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 7: and I have asked him over and over I guess, 101 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 7: so listen, are you engaging with anybody? 102 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: He's like no. 103 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 7: He's responded on occasion because he's kind of been forced to, 104 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 7: and so far it hasn't really come to a head. Well, 105 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 7: last night apparently things got much worse based off of 106 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 7: what he was saying. And of course you're probably already 107 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 7: reaching a conclusion about what this was about. It's about 108 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 7: you know, current politics and ice and because for one thing, 109 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 7: he's somewhat shy in public, he just keeps to himself. 110 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 7: He self admittedly says that he has resting beeface okay, 111 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 7: because he does he just you know, he's just he's quiet. 112 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 7: He keeps to himself, he just keeps his head down. 113 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 7: He waits for the orders to come in and then 114 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 7: he goes and takes. 115 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: Care of this. 116 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 7: He doesn't want to get involved in these conversations. Well, 117 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 7: last night apparently he was put into a situation where 118 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 7: they were hounding him on you know, what do you 119 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 7: think about ice? Do you support ice? Do you want 120 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 7: to see Mexicans deported? These are the things that he's 121 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 7: being asked, and according to him, he's attempting to sort 122 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 7: of stay out of this. 123 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about this. I don't want 124 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: to get involved. 125 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 7: And things escalated to the point where one of the 126 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 7: individuals working and the way he describes it, it's probably in 127 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 7: a joking fashion, but basically said, I really want to 128 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 7: beat you with a stick. And this was from my understanding, 129 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 7: like the manager at the time working at the store, 130 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 7: and it's multiply like three different people that he's having 131 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 7: to deal with, and they're all being very juvenile. They're 132 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 7: asking him to participate in like push up contests and 133 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 7: all this, and then they ended up calling him names. 134 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 7: And he's newer into the workforce, and so far we've 135 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 7: been taking this stance of all right, you know, do 136 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 7: you want us to step in? I don't want to. 137 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 7: He's an adult and needs to be able to handle this. Unfortunately, 138 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 7: now it seems to have taken a turn. So needless 139 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 7: to say, there was no going back to sleep for 140 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 7: John Justice this morning, and I've been wrestling all morning 141 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 7: long with. 142 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: Man, do I want to bring this up today? Do 143 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: I want to talk about it? 144 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 7: But you know what, this is something that I'm you know, 145 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 7: dealing with on a personal basis. It's on the top 146 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 7: of my mind and I share on the show, and 147 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 7: I'd love to get your thoughts on it. I had 148 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 7: thought about posting something up on x on this, but 149 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 7: I said no, I have because I haven't talked to 150 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 7: my wife about it yet. I haven't talked to Melinda yet. 151 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 7: I did talk to Logan, who also worked at this 152 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 7: place for a while and had, you know, no problems, 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 7: although he expressed something similar at the time, but also 154 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 7: just kept his head down and his mouth shut and 155 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 7: didn't get involved with it. So I talked to him 156 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 7: on the way in and he had a conversation with 157 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 7: them last night, and clearly they're in the same boat 158 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 7: that we are, where we've reached a level where I 159 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 7: guess we have to go and address this now. And 160 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 7: it just sucks, man, it sucks that this is the 161 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 7: world that we live in. I don't recall having these 162 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 7: situations when I was younger, and I worked in very 163 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 7: similar you know spaces, whether you know it was doing 164 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 7: you know, a service where you're doing deliveries or working 165 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 7: in retail. I worked for music stores for years.

They're 245 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 7: hearing all this stuff out in the world. And for 246 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 7: most individuals, you know, these are kind of first time jobs. 247 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 7: These are starter jobs as they move up, so there's 248 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 7: no baseline established in terms of how you're supposed to 249 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 7: be conducting yourself in the workplace and what is or 250 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 7: isn't appropriate, then you're going to end up with situations 251 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 7: like this, and obviously it being my son, it makes 252 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 7: it increasingly difficult because you know, you want to go 253 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 7: and have his back. 254 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: You don't want him to be dealing with this. 255 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 7: But like I said, we've been handling this from a 256 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 7: you know, are you. 257 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 3: Good to deal with this? Yeah, I'm just venting. 258 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 7: I'm taking care of it because he needs to learn 259 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 7: from circumstances like this. But as I mentioned before, what 260 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 7: apparently transpired last night has gone far beyond what he 261 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 7: typically had been dealing with, and now it may need 262 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 7: to be that I have to go and intervene. 263 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 12: Morning John, I feel for your son, and yeah, it's amazing, 264 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 12: Morning John, and Sam. 265 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 13: I'm sure you'll get many similar comments regarding the issue 266 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 13: at your son's work. But businesses have got to start 267 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 13: supporting people who just don't want to get involved in 268 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 13: this nonsense. We shouldn't have to make statements, and if 269 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 13: it's a manager saying something like that to him, there 270 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 13: has to be either the store manager or district manager 271 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 13: or somebody that he can go talk to have. 272 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: A great day. 273 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 14: Well. 274 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 7: And the issue is when I say a manager, I'm 275 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 7: more talking about essentially the person who's in charge of 276 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 7: the shift, which isn't necessarily like the owner or the 277 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 7: manager of the store. It just happens to be the 278 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 7: one person who's in charge who is not all that 279 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 7: much older than my son is. 280 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 15: I'm an HR coordinator for a large store, and this 281 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 15: should not be tolerated at all. I deal with people 282 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 15: starting off on both sides of the political then you 283 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 15: obviously I listen to you. You know what side I'm on. 284 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 15: I don't have tolerance for either side at work. That 285 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 15: is not the place for it. Your son should be 286 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 15: comfortable when he goes in. He's nineteen, he's barely an 287 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 15: adult stand up form. I agree with that one hundred percent. 288 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 15: Go get him. 289 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: Regarding the societal litmus test you're discussing, I run into 290 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 5: this all the time, whether it's my neighborhood, my workplace, 291 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: or hobbies. I don't engage anymore. Not because I'm afraid, 292 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 5: but because I realized you simply can't argue logic against 293 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 5: people who operate one hundred percent on emotion. Now, of course, 294 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 5: history illustrates what happens when that emotion turns to hate, 295 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 5: and I really hope America doesn't reach that tipping point. 296 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 7: Well, you have more of your thoughts that are coming 297 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 7: in on a Freedom Friday the iHeartRadio app. We'll share 298 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 7: some more of those coming up. I do want to 299 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 7: get into the news of the morning. In the Big News, yesterday, 300 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 7: President Donald Trump replacing Pam Bondy as Attorney General of 301 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 7: the United States, bringing an end to her highly scrutinized 302 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 7: a tenure. The President made the decision in part, according 303 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 7: to the story from The Daily Wire, because he was 304 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 7: frustrated with the lack of criminal prosecutions of Democrats who 305 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 7: committed law fair against him. A federal source shared Trump 306 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 7: met with Bondie before his evening speech earlier this week 307 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 7: and told her that she was being replaced. A second 308 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 7: source with knowledge told of the meeting to the Daily Wire. 309 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 7: Now Trump has met with EPA administrator Lee Zelden. 310 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: He did this earlier this week. 311 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 7: According to the source, Zelden has been rumored to be 312 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 7: under consideration to lead to Justice Department. The President did 313 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 7: praise Bondi in a post on True Social following reports 314 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 7: of her ouster, and said she would be transitioning to 315 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 7: a much needed and important new job in the private 316 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 7: sector appeared. In my view, Bondi appeared to approach this 317 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 7: job in a typical presidential administration fashion. I think her 318 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 7: intent was well positioned. But this administration needs someone who 319 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 7: isn't going to maintain the past DOJ status quo and 320 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 7: is going to need to push these issues much harder 321 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 7: than clearly Pam Bondi did. This is also fairly common 322 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 7: for administrations. You know, you have some administrations where they 323 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 7: put their key individuals in place and they stay there 324 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 7: for the entirety of the administration. You have other circumstances 325 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 7: where you have to have changes that are made if 326 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 7: the individual isn't serving in the best interests of that administration. 327 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 7: And we've clearly seen this happen on multiple occasions, occasions 328 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 7: when it comes to the Trumpet administration.

So no, always always appreciative of the 371 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 7: level of energy regarding the talkbacks as I see that 372 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 7: I'm rolling in. As a matter of fact, let's go 373 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 7: to Chad and Dellana. We were I was sharing some 374 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 7: of the details. Pam Bondy out as Attorney General, Trump 375 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 7: wrote on True Social earlier this week. 376 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: Pam Bondy is. 377 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 7: A great American patriot, a loyal friend who faithfully served 378 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 7: as my Attorney General. 379 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: Over the past year. 380 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 7: Pam did a tremendous job overseeing the massive crackdown on 381 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 7: crime in our country, with murders plumbing to their lowest 382 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 7: level since nineteen one hundred. Trump wrote, all that being said, 383 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 7: she has been fired and she's moved to a different 384 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 7: position right now. 385 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: But what are your thoughts on this, Max. 386 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 6: Well, I've said it on this program, and from the beginning, 387 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 6: I have never been impressed with with Pam Bondy. 388 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 3: Now with Christy Nolan. There have been times in the. 389 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 6: Past where I was impressed with the job that she 390 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 6: was doing, and then with the whole Operation Metro Surge thing, 391 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 6: it was like, ah, man, we're taking We're taking kind 392 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 6: of an aesthetic hit here. Politically with Pam Bondy. We 393 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 6: got off on the wrong foot with the whole Epstein 394 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 6: file binder thing. 395 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was weird. That whole situation was just so strange. 396 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 6: She just never seemed like she caught her stride in 397 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 6: this administration. And I'm hoping that we get somebody serious 398 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 6: in that position, Like I think Ron De Santis is 399 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 6: the most obvious entreatment that you could make right now. 400 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 6: And I don't know what the nexus of this firing was. 401 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 6: I've heard multiple things you had mentioned that not prosecuting 402 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 6: Democrat politicians who are obviously getting away with some horrible things. 403 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 6: I had also heard about that she had leaked information 404 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 6: to Eric Swalwell about his investigation as well. It just 405 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 6: never seemed like she was running a competent operation. And 406 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 6: I'm personally glad she's gone well and. 407 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 7: It's and I think it's one of those I don't 408 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 7: disagree with anything that you had to say. As I 409 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 7: mentioned earlier, she seemed to be approaching the job in 410 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 7: sort of a typical administration fashion. But this is not 411 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 7: a typical administration now, and we're in unprecedented times right 412 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 7: now relating to the EPs files, and we'll get to 413 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 7: some of your talkbacks here in just a moment. There's 414 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 7: a disconnected there's a disconnect, in my opinion, because individuals 415 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 7: inside the Trump administration, and I'll even go so far 416 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 7: as to say Trump in this regard too. 417 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 3: This is not a dig by any stretch. 418 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 7: It's just a reality based off of my own assumptions, 419 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 7: is that their view of Epstein, the Epstein files, and 420 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 7: accountability is dramatically different than the public at large that's 421 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: been following this for a long long time, and the 422 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,239 Speaker 7: expectation that's been built up for so long of what 423 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: people want to see in terms of accountability, and there 424 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 7: seemed to be especially with. 425 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: Pambondy releasing that binder. 426 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 7: Her expectation was, this is what people are demanding, this 427 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 7: is what people want. But she was completely off the 428 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 7: mark because she wasn't really entrenched in the public discourse 429 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 7: and what people were expecting. There was a complete disconnect 430 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 7: between the two. I don't think she was trying to 431 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 7: hide anything from anybody. I think that she was genuinely 432 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 7: trying to offer up what she thought was gonna satiate 433 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 7: everybody and what they. 434 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: Wanted, when the reality was it was. 435 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 7: Far off the mark of the way that this whole 436 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 7: situation had been built up in the minds of so 437 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 7: many individuals following this wanting accountability. 438 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 6: But part of that, in my opinion, falls on Pam 439 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 6: Bondi for setting the poor expectations in the first place. Right. 440 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 6: You can't you can't be Pam Bondy and say we 441 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 6: have there's binders sitting on my desk. 442 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 3: It's super disturbing. 443 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 6: You employ influencers, conservative influencers to carry these binders out 444 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 6: and say, oh yeah, these are the Epstein files you 445 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 6: can't be her, you can't be Dan Bongino, who comes 446 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 6: out and says at first if Epstein did not kill himself, 447 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 6: and then to come out full throated with cash Pattel 448 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 6: and say, actually, he did kill himself. The poor expectations 449 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 6: are not on the people. The poor expectations were set 450 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 6: by Pam Bondi well, and the Dan Bongino is a 451 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 6: great example because DANM. Bongino would fall into that category 452 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 6: of this is what people had been told, this is 453 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 6: what had been hammered by a lot of conservative voices 454 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 6: out there, and so that elevated and raised the expectation. 455 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 6: And then you have the perfect example wherein you have 456 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 6: Bongino actually gets into a position where you can see 457 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 6: all of the available information and suddenly he goes, oh, 458 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 6: maybe I was wrong on all of that, and maybe 459 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 6: my assumptions of what actually happened, based off of the 460 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 6: fact that I didn't have and wasn't privy to all 461 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 6: the details, was inaccurate. And of course that undermines the 462 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 6: faith and credibility from the individuals who again have been 463 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 6: following this for as long as they have. With whoever 464 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 6: replaces Pam Bondi, Pambondi never missed a moment to get 465 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 6: on Fox News and start talking about all sorts of things. 466 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 6: In that congressional hearing, she talked about how we can't 467 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 6: pay attention to this, that, and the other because the 468 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 6: Dow is above fifty thousand. What I want now for 469 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 6: the next Attorney General, I want this to be a 470 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 6: sober minded, super focused, quiet person who is focused on 471 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 6: the job of uncovering some of the criminality in the 472 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 6: elements of the Democrat Party. 473 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 3: That's what That's what I want. 474 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 6: Someone who doesn't need to go and be the flashy 475 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 6: person on Fox News, someone who is dead set on 476 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 6: I am going to put everything I have into executing 477 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 6: the responsibility of this job. And I think it's the 478 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 6: easiest thing in the world for a guy like Ronda 479 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 6: Santas to get appointed to that position. 480 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 3: Right now. 481 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 7: I think Max Reimer, who joins me in studio on 482 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 7: a Freedom Friday here on Twin City's News Talk, I 483 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 7: think the one word and what you just said of 484 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 7: all of that great commentary was a sober I think 485 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 7: it's good if people just say people just need to 486 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 7: stay sober across the board. Yeah, just let's go to 487 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 7: the I Hart radio app on comment let's. 488 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 3: Go hear that. Good morning, John Pambo.

Let's go here. 490 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 17: Yeah, honestly, I'm surprised Red Flag BONDI lasted as long 491 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 17: as she did, especially after that debacle with the Epstein files. 492 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 17: I've got it, I don't got it. Well now I 493 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 17: can't get it because these guys are hiding it from me. Well, 494 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 17: now I've got it, and we're still trying to right there. 495 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 17: That was just so much incompetence. But yeah, she's just 496 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 17: not a lot of the positions from the DJ seem 497 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 17: to be schizophrenic, so especially in the two A space. 498 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 17: So I think this changes needed. 499 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 18: Morning everybody Happy Friday's chat from Delano. 500 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with. 501 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 18: Trump's decision to get rid of Bondy, and hopefully this 502 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 18: next person can start arresting people, because you know, darn 503 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 18: will once there's some Democrats in charge. They already have 504 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 18: the arrest warrants printed up already, so there's enough evidence 505 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 18: for stuff. Let's start, you know, arresting some of these people. 506 00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: Not the low levels. 507 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 7: Well, and you know, I give probably too much so 508 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 7: you don't have to leave a talk back and tell 509 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 7: me that I do. I probably give too much grace 510 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 7: when it comes to situations like this, But when we 511 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 7: have circumstances like what we saw, and I don't want 512 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 7: to beat a dead horse with this, but when you 513 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 7: have hey, we're going. 514 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 3: To release this stuff. 515 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 7: Hey, it's all coming, and then it gets released and 516 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 7: it's not what everybody's expectations were. 517 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: A lot of this, to me, just comes down. 518 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 7: To a lack of communication taking place within the administration 519 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: for people to be on the same page at the 520 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 7: same time all the time. I think a lot of 521 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 7: times we sort of get into a mentality that everybody's meeting, 522 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 7: everybody's talking, they're all discussing this, they all have a plan, 523 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 7: and that usually isn't the case. So you have an 524 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 7: individual like Pam Bondi who's in a position of power 525 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 7: where she can readily go and talk with media, hold 526 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 7: press conferences on her own. We don't know how much 527 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 7: conversation she's having with Trump. She's just doing the job 528 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 7: as she sees fit, and unfortunately that ends up creating 529 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 7: these dynamics wherein what's said, the expectations put forward don't 530 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 7: meet the reality of what happens, and a lot of 531 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 7: times it's just an administration that and this happened early 532 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 7: on in his second term, you know, going back into 533 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 7: last year, I think a lot of this just comes 534 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 7: back to, well, it's the administration getting back underway, immediately 535 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 7: wanting to go and address these issues, but clearly not 536 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 7: being on the same page over what they need to 537 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 7: do and what should be released. 538 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 6: I think there are members of this administration who have 539 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 6: been remarkably impressive. I look at our guy, Pete hags 540 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 6: At I mentioned that earlier, remarkably impressive. I look at 541 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 6: Harmat Dillon. Harmy Dillon is doing a great job. Maybe 542 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 6: she maybe she could be attorney general. I look at 543 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 6: Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury. I think he's 544 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 6: doing a remarkable job. But we look at the Biden 545 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 6: administration and in that position of Attorney General, Merrick Garland 546 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 6: was relentless and not a guy who needed to get 547 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 6: in front of the camera all the time. But you 548 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 6: want to talk about prosecuting political enemies, right, Merrick Garland 549 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 6: had one job John in that administration, and did he 550 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 6: get a bunch of convictions. Well, Trump obviously wasn't didn't 551 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 6: get sentenced anything. 552 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: Became president again. 553 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 6: But it was obvious to me during the Biden administration 554 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 6: that Merrick Garland had one job and that was to 555 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 6: prosecute my political enemies. 556 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: Hey, Wonty, John Bruce and Shockby. You know, my take 557 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: on this Pam Bondi issue is it's Trump following his 558 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: normal keep your enemies guessing strategy. So I think he 559 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: brought her in for just a specific bunch of stuff, 560 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: and once she's accomplished that, now he's moving on to 561 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: somebody else. And I think Pam was in on it 562 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: from the get go. Anyway, make it a great day 563 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: and have a good weekend. 564 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 19: Hey guys, Happy Freedom Friday and good Friday. As far 565 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 19: as Pam Bondi goes, I think she was part of 566 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 19: the deep state. I think part of her philosophy was, 567 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 19: or strategy was just let timelines run out. How many 568 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 19: people have timelines run out? On Cally Brennan, other people. 569 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 19: It's sad to say it. I think she was part 570 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 19: of the problem. 571 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 7: Thanks, it is a Freedom Friday, so we will take 572 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 7: your on and off a topic comments All morning long, 573 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 7: Hair on Twinsay's News Talk. 574 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 3: Good Morning, John Say. 575 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 11: I work for a property management company and we. 576 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 8: Are actually hiring. 577 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 3: So if your son wants to come and work. 578 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 18: For me making eighteen bucks an hour starting, why don't 579 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 18: you give me. 580 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 14: A call now? 581 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: Ryan, I need your number to do that.

I 596 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 6: don't remember dealing with this when you were a kid 597 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 6: and having employment. 598 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: I don't remember when I had jobs that. 599 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 6: It was not something that got brought up pretty often. 600 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 6: And part of it was because being a sixteen seventeen, 601 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 6: eighteen year old kid, at least the world that I 602 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 6: grew up in, I wasn't politically aware or active. But 603 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 6: I never had coworkers and in hindsight you can kind 604 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 6: of guess where a lot of them stood. Oh yeah, 605 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 6: but I never had co workers who were trying to 606 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 6: preach to me about about politics or pitting me down 607 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 6: on something that would have been an awkward conversation for sure. 608 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 7: Well, and you know, unfortunately, right now, with what you know, teenagers, 609 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 7: young adults are seeing on social media getting fed all 610 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 7: this stuff. I mean, they're old enough to vote now, 611 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 7: they should be paying attention to politics. 612 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 3: But now they're. 613 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 7: Getting this this hyper real version of what is taking place. 614 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 3: It's mostly just the. 615 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 7: The real propaganda laden stuff coming from the left, lacking 616 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 7: the relevant context, lacking the relevant details that was clear 617 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 7: with you know what it appears that my son was 618 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 7: dealing with. 619 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: And it's that's just unfortunate. 620 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 7: And again it sucks because, like you said, I mean, 621 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 7: you had to deal with inner office politics on a 622 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 7: completely different level, not this nonsense. 623 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 3: No, not having to go and deal with this. 624 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 7: And the fact that individuals don't understand or know apparently. 625 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 3: They shouldn't be discussing this stuff. They shouldn't be. 626 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 7: Asking their fellow employees these questions. That's harassment. You can't 627 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 7: go and do that. And so Now it's a circumstance 628 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 7: where I feel like a lot of people are about 629 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 7: to learn a lot of really interesting life lessons that 630 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 7: they probably should have been taught by their parents ahead 631 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 7: of time. And this is, you know, now, it needs 632 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 7: to be now, it needs to be dealt with. 633 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 20: Sucks. 634 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 2: Never ever talk politics at work ever, never said the 635 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: woman's are doing manage gob either Pam. 636 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: Buying a year out. 637 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: They knew and they let it happen. 638 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 3: I am at that one. Uh think I took that 639 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 3: a bridge, took a turn out? A bridge, A bridge, 640 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 3: A bridge too far? 641 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: There living together Bassistaria. 642 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 14: Good morning, This is scout from Dayton. 643 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: Say what's going to happen with. 644 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 18: The folks who stormed the city's church in Saint Paul? 645 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 3: And I'll Pam charged quite a number of those people. 646 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 18: Now that she's gone, Is there a chance that those 647 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 18: charges will be dropped against those folks? 648 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: I sure hope not. 649 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: No, I don't think that's how it works. I don't 650 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 3: think that. I don't think that charges. 651 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 7: Go away because the individual who charged them initially is 652 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 7: no longer the position. 653 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 3: But I could be wrong, but I don't think that's 654 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 3: how it works. 655 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 6: No, But That's another example. And I know the wheels 656 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 6: of justice turned slowly sometimes, but it felt like some 657 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 6: of these cases where they should be open and shut 658 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 6: cases that things started to fall apart, like the City's 659 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 6: church one. It felt like I was reading headlines about 660 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 6: how this person and that person, we ended up having 661 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 6: a judge throw the case out, and it's like, no, 662 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 6: we have to make an example out of these people. 663 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 6: I'm hoping that the next Attorney General is a little 664 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 6: bit more serious about that. 665 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 7: So we've got Catherine Johnson from Center the American Experiment. 666 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 7: You'll be joining us in studio just coming up, coming 667 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 7: up just after the top of the hour a kkmrs. 668 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 7: Should be here around seven point thirty, and we'll carry 669 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 7: this over the top. I have a couple of related 670 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 7: stories before we get into some Minneapolis news. But going 671 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 7: back to the Supreme Court hearing on the birthright citizenship 672 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 7: from earlier, Jonathan Turley on Fox News has been just 673 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 7: really on top of his game breaking down his view 674 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 7: of what transpired earlier this week, and he highlighted the 675 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 7: fact that the irony of the liberal justices Alana Kagan, 676 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 7: Soda Mayur and Koateenji Brown Jackson adopting a constitutional constitutional 677 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 7: originalist approach to this, arguing for the original intent of 678 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 7: the fourteenth Amendment regarding birthright citizenship. He said that obviously 679 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 7: played to the conservative justices, so arguing that the way 680 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 7: the arguments played out is benefiting the left here. Trump, 681 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 7: of course attend to the oral arguments on Wednesday, saying 682 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 7: we are the only country in the world stupid enough 683 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 7: to allow birthright citizenship. A birthright citizenship often benefits migrants 684 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 7: who cross the border illegally and give birth to children 685 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 7: on US soil. I have other audio to share coming 686 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 7: up just after the top of the hour. 687 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 3: Turley agreed with Trump's assessment. 688 00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 7: He called America's birthright citizenship policy perfectly insane. He says 689 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 7: that's why very few countries accept birthright citizenship. The difficulty 690 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 7: with this case is that it's hard to really justify 691 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 7: the policy when you look. 692 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 3: At what's happening in China alone. 693 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 7: Hundreds of these tourism sites we talked about this yesterday 694 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 7: are sending people over for the sole purpose of having 695 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 7: children here. 696 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 3: Only a moronic nation would allow this type of industry 697 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 3: to flourish. 698 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 6: I was even reading that in Costa Rica there are 699 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 6: specific resorts, you know, that allow you to come and 700 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 6: have your child and then be kind of acknowledged as 701 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 6: a citizen. Like entire hotels and resorts exist around this well. 702 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,959 Speaker 7: And to that point, we'll close out the first hour 703 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 7: on a Freedom Friday with this piece of audio. This 704 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 7: is from CBS News. This goes back to twenty thirteen. 705 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 7: This is twenty thirteen CBS News doing a profile on 706 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 7: this very issue here on Twin Cities News Talk. 707 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 16: Her name is Ada Lynn. She's four months old and 708 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 16: the only American citizen in her family. Her parents, who 709 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 16: agree to speak with us if we didn't show their faces, 710 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 16: traveled from China to Los Angeles so Ada could be 711 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 16: born in America and claim US citizenships. 712 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 2: Way you go. 713 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 16: I want her to live a happy life, her father says. 714 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 16: The family is back in China now. They are among 715 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 16: thousands of Chinese who become so called birth tourists staying 716 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 16: in maternity hotels near Los Angeles. These hotels are often 717 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 16: single family homes in quiet neighborhoods. At least two are 718 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 16: in Chino Hills, California, where residents are annoyed at the 719 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 16: frequent comings and goings. Chino Hills resident Rosanna Mitchell. Why 720 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 16: does this offend you? 721 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 20: When people think of the American dream, they're not thinking 722 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 20: about birthtrurism. They're thinking about people who come here, immigrate here, 723 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 20: work hard, pay their taxes, become citizens, and become Americans. 724 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 16: Ada Lyn's family paid twenty seven thousand dollars to a 725 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 16: Chinese agency with a website that advertises the advance of 726 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 16: giving birth in America. The agency helps arrange US tourist visas, lodging, 727 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 16: and medical care. The practice does not violate federal immigration laws, 728 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 16: but it gives Chinese parents the option down the road 729 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 16: to have their American children attend US universities or live here. 730 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 16: The Linn say having Aida in the United States allowed 731 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 16: them to get around China's one child policy. It restricts 732 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 16: most women from giving birth to more than one child 733 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 16: in China. The Linz say that restriction does not apply 734 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 16: to Chinese who give birth overseas. This hilltop home was 735 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 16: converted into a maternity hotel that housed as many as 736 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 16: thirty pregnant Chinese women at a time. It apparently didn't 737 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 16: break immigration laws, but local officials managed to close it 738 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 16: down scott for violating building codes. 739 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 7: So We'll have further thoughts on this coming up just 740 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 7: after the top of the hour here on Twin Cities 741 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 7: News Talk. It's a Freedom Friday in studio today. We 742 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 7: have Representative Max Rymer and ak Kamara joining us a 743 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 7: little bit later on in the seven o'clock hour, and 744 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 7: Catherine Johnson from Center of the American Experiment and the 745 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 7: American Experiment podcast should be here shortly, and of course 746 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 7: more of your comments from the iHeartRadio app coming up 747 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 7: here on Twin Cities News Talk at AM eleven thirty 748 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 7: and one oh three five FM.
