That's Homestead road dot com. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: Hey John, Happy Monday, Happy groundhogs Day, Happy birthday to 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: my Tommy of a sister Ah. Speaking of groundhogs Day, 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 2: do you think he's gonna see a shadow? 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: Do you think it even matters? Who knows? 7 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 4: They have what's called a Trump derangement problem? Have you 8 00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 4: heard about that problem? 9 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: Do we say Happy groundhog Day? Is that a thing? 10 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 5: Every year, PETA People Eating Tasty Animals calls on Pucksatani 11 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 5: Phil to be retired to a sanctuary and replaced by 12 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 5: some other ridiculous means. Past attempts at this suggested by 13 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 5: PETA include an animatronic groundhog, a giant gold coin that 14 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 5: one could flip, a vegan weather revealed cake per Simon Seeds, 15 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 5: and a thirty six year old woman named Amber Caravan 16 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 5: from Portland, Oregon, who volunteered herself as tribute to take 17 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 5: Phil's place to live stream her monotonous life all year 18 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: long and given equally unscientific weather forecast, that would actually 19 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 5: be incredibly appropriate given the live action role players on 20 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 5: the streets this past weekend, of which you just heard 21 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 5: there in the in the intro. I mean, it really 22 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 5: is like every single version that you've seen of a 23 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 5: dystopian future and rebels pushing back on an elitist, authoritarian government, 24 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: Hunger Games, Divergent, even Star Wars. Right this year, though, 25 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 5: the Animal Rights Organization has offered to replace Phil with 26 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 5: a giant State of the R three D projection hologram. 27 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: Of a groundhog. 28 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: The best part of this proposal is that PETA included 29 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 5: an artistic rendering of its idea, which shows that it's 30 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 5: the hologram. Phil predicts six more weeks of winter, he 31 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 5: will be blue, surrounded by snowflakes, and. 32 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like us here in Minnesota. Everything's frozen 33 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: in blue and we're surrounded by snowflakes. 34 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 5: And if he predicts an early spring, it will be 35 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 5: pink and then surrounded by flowers. Pete Even says the 36 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 5: hologram would come complete with vocal weather predictions groundhogs and 37 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 5: sound like, by the way, if you don't know that, 38 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 5: I don't know this, groundhogs kind of sound like squeaky 39 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 5: dog toys, which is perhaps the best sound to rally 40 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 5: a drunken crowd and a small Pennsylvania town at the 41 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 5: krack of dawn. 42 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: So that's right. 43 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 5: Pena says bucksatani Phil should be a hologram. 44 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: That's where we. 45 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 5: Started today's show here on Twinsday's News Talk Am eleven 46 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 5: thirty at one oh three five FM. 47 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: My name is John Justice. In the booth. 48 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 5: Next door is Devin and the Master Control Booth. I 49 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 5: hope you had a fantastic weekend. We have a lot 50 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 5: of ground to cover today. By the way, the polar 51 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 5: vortex is stretched to its max. They're saying that we 52 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 5: actually could get hit hard again this month with more 53 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: of these lengthy days of below freezing temperatures. I'm over it. 54 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 5: I am so over the cold. I'm just done. Look, 55 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 5: I was actually excited this morning when I saw sixteen 56 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 5: on the on the app. I'm like, awesome, it's sixteen. 57 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm done. I'm completely done with it. 58 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 5: Also done with all this protesting, which we'll talk about 59 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 5: on the on the show today. So a judge has 60 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: sided with Trump over Operation Metro Surge. I actually disagree 61 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 5: with Trump on something. He says he's not going to 62 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 5: help Blue states. So a lot of us here they 63 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 5: didn't vote for this garbage. Kind of would like to 64 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 5: see the Insurrection Act invoked, especially since the insurgents are 65 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 5: now setting up checkpoints at intersections in Minneapolis. I mean, 66 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 5: how is local law enforcement not stopping this from taking place? Allegedly, 67 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 5: if you go through I was watching the videos online. 68 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 5: If you go through one of these, or attempts to 69 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: go through one of these citizen checkpoints and you have 70 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 5: an out of state plate, they're apparently going to run 71 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 5: the plate on the spot and then I don't know 72 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 5: what happens. I mean, like, if you're what are they 73 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: gonna do. They gonna surround your car and they're gonna 74 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 5: beat up ice, They're gonna say them another way. 75 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what the what's the plan here? Do they 76 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: know the plan? 77 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 5: Another good question, So we'll get into that. Andrew Langer, 78 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 5: our DC correspondent, he'll be joining us coming up at 79 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 5: six thirty. We'll talk a little bit. Government shutdown, Texas 80 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 5: special elections. DC's gonna get its own IndyCar race, which 81 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 5: is awesome, by the way. 82 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: I do like me some IndyCar. I watch IndyCar. I 83 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: probably go it's like NASCAR is my number one. 84 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 5: That race got postponed until Wednesday so I get a 85 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 5: little mid day pre Daytona five hundred racing to watch 86 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 5: a Wednesday, which is kind of exciting. Then I watch 87 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 5: F one and then down below that. If those two 88 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: aren't on, then I'll go and watch Indy. But of 89 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 5: course this was immediately protested because President Donald Trump supported it, 90 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: and you cannot support anything that Trump does. Even though 91 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 5: it is awesome to have IndyCars racing in our nation's capital. 92 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 5: It'll provide a lot of revenue for the area. It 93 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 5: doesn't matter Trump did it. It's gotta be awful. So 94 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 5: we'll dive into that. We'll talk about the protests. And 95 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: Amy Klobashar is meek and weak start. And it's not 96 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 5: just me saying that either Politico was pointing this was 97 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 5: pointing this out as well. So I have audio of 98 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 5: Amy Klobashar attempting to dovetail the launch of her campaign 99 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: with the ongoing protests. The audio is absolutely hysterical. I 100 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 5: won't share with you all of it in its entirety. 101 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 5: It's kind of long. The beginning of it though, she's 102 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 5: at a rally for alex Pretty and she's you know, 103 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 5: appealing to the crowd, you know about ice and pushing 104 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 5: back on them, and then she immediately moves over into 105 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: talking about unions. I mean you could almost instantly see 106 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 5: the crowd just completely lose interest. 107 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Just comical. 108 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 5: Hello America, I'm Amy Klobashar and I will. 109 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: Beat Donald Trump. 110 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 5: Plus we have a lot of audio to share this 111 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 5: morning from over the weekend, talking heads on the left 112 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 5: calling Republicans occults, which I find rather interesting.

A federal judge on Saturday 141 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 5: denied Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's requests for an injunction 142 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 5: to halt the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge here in Minnesota, 143 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 5: finding the case did not justify extraordinary judicial intervention. This 144 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 5: is a Biden appointee, by the way, US District Judge 145 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 5: Catherine Menendez. I have some audio of a Keith Elison 146 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 5: responding to this that I'll share next to hour. She 147 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 5: wrote that Ellison and the lawyers for Saint Paul and 148 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 5: Minneapolis had asked the court to extend existing precedent to 149 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 5: the point of novelty, noting in her order that none 150 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 5: of the cases on which they rely have even come 151 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 5: close now. She noted a separate injunction she had issued 152 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: in a different case restricting certain ice tactics was recently 153 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 5: lifted by an appeals court, saying that if the order 154 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: was too broad than the one in issue here, halting 155 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 5: the entire operation certainly would Menendez also wrote that she 156 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 5: was particularly reluctant to take a side of the debate 157 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 5: about the purpose of Operation Metro Surge and what's behind it, 158 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 5: and acknowledged that it was difficult for the court to 159 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 5: determine at what point defendants alleged unlawful actions becomes so 160 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 5: problematic that they amounted to unconstitutional coercion and an infringement 161 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 5: on Minnesota's state sovereignty. She added, there's no precedent for 162 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 5: a court to micromanage such decisions. The judge also found 163 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 5: that Plaine has had not shown that the balance of 164 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 5: harms decisively favored issuing an injunction, a key legal standard 165 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 5: in these cases. Ultimately, doing nothing with my fingers been 166 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 5: in this road. The court finds that the balance of 167 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 5: harms does not decisively favor an injunction. So, to sum up, 168 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 5: for Ellison and Minnesota Democrats, the law is not on 169 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 5: your side. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean 170 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 5: that it's unlawful. Ellison has sued the Trump administration some 171 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 5: forty three times at this point in time. Talk about 172 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: a waste of time. Let's go here to the iHeartRadio 173 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 5: app talk Back.

I read something this morning that said that 176 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 7: she is actually ineligible to run for governor because she 177 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 7: is under investigation for uh fraud, links to fraud here 178 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 7: in Minnesota and her ties to and use of the 179 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 7: auto pen. 180 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 5: Now, apparently a lot of people are reading the same thing. 181 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 5: I have another comment that rolled in regarding this. 182 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, John. 183 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 8: I have a question. 184 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 9: If Walls and Ellison and Closer and flan again are 185 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 9: all under federal investigation, can they legally run for office? 186 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: Thank it a great day. 187 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 9: And yes, I'm tired of the cold and I'm really 188 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 9: sick and. 189 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 7: Tired of these protesters. 190 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 5: Somebody had to let the comment, by the way, that 191 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 5: that's actually not that cold right now, that it's been 192 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: colder before. You know, I don't care, it's all relative. 193 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 5: It's cold now it's been cold for a long time 194 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 5: and I am over it. So from what I can gather, 195 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 5: the constitution does not prohibit candidates with criminal records or 196 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: with active ongoing investigations. It does not keep them from 197 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 5: running or holding a federal office. So you can run. 198 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 5: From what I can gather, you can run for federal 199 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 5: office while under federal investigation. 200 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: And I know that there is some other there's some 201 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: other reporting. 202 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 5: About an investigation into smurfing and Amy Klobash aar. 203 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: I've not seen anything substantial. 204 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 5: Or anything that I trust in terms of reporting to 205 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 5: substantiate that claim. Most of the commentary surrounding that is 206 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 5: coming from like third and fourth tier conservative news sites, 207 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 5: and I haven't seen anything coming from a source that 208 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 5: I trust. So my understanding is, unless somebody knows differently, 209 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 5: and I'm missing a law somewhere, you can be under 210 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 5: investigation and you can still go and run for office. 211 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: Let's go here. Article out of Carol Levin. This headline 212 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: is so egregiously biased. The First Amendment is under attack. 213 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 5: Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fart arrested for covering the 214 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 5: church protest. Now, first off the headline here, the first 215 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 5: Amendment is under attack. If this is a quote and 216 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 5: it appears that it is coming from Minnesota's journalism community, 217 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: it should be attributed in the headline. There is no 218 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 5: First Amendment attack taking place here. Yes, these two individuals, 219 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 5: Lemon and Georgia are apparently both journalists self proclaimed, but 220 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: just because they're journalists doesn't mean that they get a 221 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 5: free pass for taking part in the protest of which 222 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 5: they were both a part of, willful participants in those 223 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 5: protests that took place, or that protest that took place 224 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 5: a few weekends back at the city's church in Saint Paul. 225 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 5: The article from Carol Levin goes on to say Minnesota's 226 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: journalism community spoke out against their arrests shortly before they 227 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 5: had been announceable in a statement in a press conference. 228 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 5: The vice president of the Center for Broadcast Journalism, Harry 229 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 5: Colbert Jr. Friday at a press conference that Georgia Fart 230 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 5: is in federal custody for doing her job. No, she's 231 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 5: in federal custody because she was protesting. She's using her 232 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 5: own definition of journalism as a shield from prosecution, and. 233 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: It didn't fly. 234 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 5: Journalist Leslie Redman echoed Colbert Junior, proclaiming we are under attack. 235 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 5: Georgia Fart's fourteen year old daughter followed Redmond, calling for 236 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 5: her mother's immediate release. My mom is being arrested for 237 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 5: documenting something that happened in the Sydney's church and this 238 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 5: is wrong, isn't it? 239 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 10: Sad? 240 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 5: I feel bad for the children here, for the seventeen 241 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 5: year old teenager, but what about those children in the 242 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 5: church that Georgia and Don helped to terrorize in the moment. 243 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, during a press conference upon 244 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 5: her release after being arrested, Georgia was talking about her 245 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: children and how they were traumatized by all of this. Okay, well, 246 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 5: it's nice that you care about children in your own 247 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 5: but you certainly didn't care about those ones that were 248 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: left crying in the wake of lunatics going and screaming 249 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 5: at them, or those that were in Sunday school class 250 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 5: and blocked from stairwells from being able to have parents 251 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 5: go and get their children. So I'm sorry, don't have 252 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 5: a whole lot of sympathy for you. And there's no 253 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: First Amendment under attack. Just because you are labeled a 254 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 5: journalist doesn't suddenly give you an excuse to not be 255 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 5: held accountable when you take part in protesting as well. 256 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 5: All right, coming up, Andrew Langer, our DC correspondent, will 257 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 5: join us. We'll get the latest on the Senate votes 258 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 5: regarding the budget and the shutdown, results of the Texas 259 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 5: special elections and is it a harbinger of doom for 260 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 5: Republicans and also the irrational freak out over that DC 261 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 5: Indy car race. It's all coming up next here on 262 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 5: Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three 263 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 5: five FM. 264 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 4: Good morning, and I love your show. 265 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 8: Come morning, John. 266 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 6: The problemical Left is they're just following whatever their political 267 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 6: pundits are telling them to do. If there's no original thought, 268 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 6: they only come out of the model they have the 269 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 6: basements when they're activated to go out and protest something. 270 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 6: Because they actually are told to go out and have 271 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 6: an original thought, they panic and they cry because they 272 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 6: don't want to do that. They want to be told 273 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: what to do. So I'm really getting bored because that's no. 274 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 5: I have more audio to share of the Target protesters 275 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 5: from over the weekend. I find it all highly entertaining. 276 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 5: It is fascinating to me. 277 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: You're fascinating to talk to the. 278 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 5: People that will like the mentality of an individual who 279 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 5: would go to a target store with a group of 280 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 5: other individuals, walk around with signs, chanting, yelling, singing, sitting 281 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 5: around in the women's underwear section like it's a powow, 282 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 5: like children with their carpet squares and kindergarten. I just 283 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 5: the mentality of adults going out and doing this. 284 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: It's just I find it so interesting. 285 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 5: I've been involved in I mean, I've been out the 286 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 5: protest before. I've been involved in events and gatherings and 287 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 5: groups of individuals, and you know, I get it, But 288 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: this level that they get into I just yeah, the 289 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 5: live action role playing. There's a video going around right 290 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 5: now of a protest that was taking place in Minneapolis 291 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: over the weekend, and there's one there's one shot and 292 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 5: it's completely a visual, which is obviously why I can't 293 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 5: share it with you on the show. But there's one 294 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 5: video of this of this woman. She's got on this 295 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 5: black jacket and her jeans and she's she's all bowed 296 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 5: up and her shoulders are all up and she's yelling 297 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 5: the chant and she just looks so. 298 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: Into it, and. 299 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 5: It's getting all of this attention because. 300 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: They all look ridiculous. 301 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 5: Somebody had made a comment relating to that video saying 302 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 5: that I guarantee you that woman and I completely agree 303 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 5: that woman probably changed her outlet, her outfit like four 304 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 5: times before she went to go in protest and was 305 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 5: practicing looking tough in the mirror to make sure that 306 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 5: she was caught on video and ended up giving off 307 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 5: the right vibe that she was going for. Speaking of vibes, 308 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 5: every single Monday morning, Andrew Langer, president of the Institute 309 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 5: for Liberty regulatory guru, works with SEAPAC. Good morning, Andrew, 310 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: How are you doing this morning, sir? 311 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 8: I'm all right. 312 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 11: I mean, you know, this is all It's always been 313 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 11: theater of the absurd, John, I mean, that's that's the 314 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 11: essence of the left, isn't it. 315 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 5: You're right, it is. And it seems like people are 316 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 5: relishing in all of this, and there's a there's an 317 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 5: interesting another you and I plan to go here, but 318 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 5: this isn't typically where we end up playing. But there's 319 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 5: this interesting sort of it's this dangerous aspect of the 320 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 5: individuals out there who I don't think completely understand what 321 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 5: kind of situation they're putting themselves in, you know, versus 322 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 5: this desire that they have to be a part of 323 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 5: a movement like what they've seen in movies and what 324 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 5: they've seen in the past, going back to the sixties 325 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 5: and seventies. There was a video that I watched before 326 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 5: I went on the air today, and it was a 327 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 5: woman in a crowd, I believe in Los Angeles. They 328 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 5: were protesting in front of the Federal Building and somebody 329 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 5: had alluded to this, and they have said, I don't 330 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: think that these these LARPers truly understand the danger that 331 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: they are putting themselves in. And of course we've seen 332 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 5: the disastrous results of that type of mentality here in 333 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 5: Minnesota over the course of the past month. 334 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 11: Well, listen, I think that's true. I mean, I think 335 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 11: so much of this has always been about trying to 336 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 11: recapture the sixties for some of them, or for some 337 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 11: of the I'm going to say, the. 338 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 8: Awfuls the the you know, the the older. 339 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 11: White women you know who lived these conservative lives and 340 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 11: may have missed the sixties, you know, stepping in there 341 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 11: and saying well, now I want my chance to go 342 00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 11: about doing this. 343 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 8: I mean, here at the end of the day. 344 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 11: What we know is there is this mass hysteria going on, 345 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 11: and it's mass hysteria that is happening, whether or not 346 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 11: it's the protests in Minnesota, or whether or not it 347 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 11: is you know, the people going apoplectic over Trump's moves 348 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 11: on the international stage, or folks just sort of reacting 349 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 11: to what happened in Texas with the special election. So 350 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 11: much of this is just this sort of mass hysteria 351 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 11: that's out there. 352 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 5: Well, let's go ahead and go to that that special election. 353 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, we had a talkback that 354 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 5: rolled in regarding this election. Let's start here talking with 355 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: Andrew Langer this morning on Twin City's News Talk. 356 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, John Barry and andover. Well, I noticed 357 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 12: last night social media was all a twitter about pun 358 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 12: intended the special election in Texas. I remember that it 359 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 12: was a special election. We don't tend to do well 360 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 12: in those. 361 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: Not that it's not a. 362 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 12: Wake up sign this season. We all have to get 363 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 12: off our rumps. I am going to make phone calls. 364 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 12: I am going to knockdoors. I'd never done that for 365 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 12: a non family member. I'm on it this here. We 366 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 12: all spend a couple of bucks, get out there. 367 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 5: House Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly ready to swear in 368 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 5: the representative elect in that race today if need be. 369 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on this Texas special election? And 370 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 5: this is a harbinger of something to look out for 371 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 5: later on this year. 372 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 11: Well harbinger. No, I mean, listen, here's the guys. The 373 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 11: reality is November is not going to be fun. The 374 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 11: question is whether or not it's going to be like 375 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 11: the twenty twenty two elections. You know, where the red 376 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 11: wave was predicted and it was just a red a 377 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 11: red trickle. 378 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 8: You know that. 379 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 11: You know, it could very well be that way for Democrats. Now, 380 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 11: to me, the Republicans are gonna lose. I mean, it's 381 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 11: it's you know, there's no there's no two ways about this, 382 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 11: and so much of this it has been by design. 383 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 11: This is why the media is really relentless and breathless 384 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 11: with every story and every narrative, because it's not about 385 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 11: what's really going on in Minnesota, right, It's not about 386 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 11: the real story behind Alex Pretty or Renee Good or whatever. 387 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 11: It is about the more amount of mistrust that they 388 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 11: can put in the prevailing narrative for people so that they. 389 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 8: Can chip away at the presidential's approval rating. 390 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 11: Right, this is this is like defense trial lawyer one 391 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 11: oh one, Right, raise enough of a reasonable doubt and 392 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 11: the person gets acquitted. I suppose it's the flip side 393 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 11: of this, Raise enough reasonable doubt about what Donald Trump 394 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 11: and the Republicans are doing, and the Democrats can do 395 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 11: that much better in the elections because it's all about power. 396 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 11: It's always been about power, the holding onto power by 397 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 11: whatever means necessary. 398 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a story just really quick. I've had 399 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 5: this in the stack. I headed in the stack last week. 400 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 5: I didn't get a chance to get to it. Not 401 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 5: that I'll have much impact this year, but based off 402 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 5: the u US Census Bureaus Population and Housing Union estimates 403 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: that were released last week, the United States is seeing 404 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 5: a significant demographic shift that does favor the GOP for 405 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 5: the twenty thirty congressional reapportionment. The growth that's been concentrated 406 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 5: in a handful of states. Texas led the nation, Florida 407 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 5: and North Carolina significant gains. Overall, nine states gained more 408 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: than sixty thousand residents, including Georgia, South Carolina, and Arizona. Conversely, 409 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 5: some states saw population declines, like California. 410 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: But the analysts right, But go. 411 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 8: Ahead, John. 412 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: The problem. 413 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 11: The problem is, at the end of the day, is 414 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 11: who is moving from these states, right, and how what 415 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 11: are their voting demographic patterns? 416 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 8: Right? 417 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 11: So, yes, you'll get conservative people leaving New York and 418 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 11: going to Florida, and that's all well and good. But 419 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 11: if leftist people are leaving California and moving to Nevada 420 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 11: and Texas and elsewhere and shifting the voting patterns of 421 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 11: those states, right, if there's a if there's an overabundance 422 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 11: of far lefty voters who can afford to flee the 423 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 11: bad policies that they have helped implemented in California, and 424 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 11: they're taking those bad policies, you know, to places like 425 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 11: Nevada and Texas and Arizona, et cetera. Then you know, 426 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 11: it blunts this idea that somehow these shifts are going 427 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 11: to happen. 428 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 8: You know, California, it's going to be a. 429 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 11: While before they start really losing major amounts of seats. 430 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 11: And if Nevada gains a bunch of Democratic districts, that's 431 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 11: a problem. 432 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 5: So it looked like we had talking with Andrew Langer, 433 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 5: as we do every Monday, president of the Institute for Liberty, 434 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 5: it looked like we were in a position to move 435 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 5: forward regarding the shutdown and what was going on in 436 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 5: the Senate. Now you've got Democrats revolting against the Senate deal, 437 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: and it looks like we still could have some controversy 438 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: between now and. 439 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: Between today and tomorrow. 440 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 5: What's the latest in your mind regarding the Senate showdown 441 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 5: and the shutdown. 442 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 8: Right, I mean that that's that's just it. 443 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 11: Democrats are gonna are going to have this situation where 444 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 11: they're going to be, you know, getting some some amount 445 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 11: of what they of what they wished for, and and 446 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 11: at the end of the day, that's that's not going 447 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 11: to leave them, leave them satisfied. Now, I mean, listen, 448 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 11: the the reality is that there was no way that 449 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 11: the House was going to come back. 450 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 8: Mike Johnson was not going. 451 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 11: To call UH members back once the Senate deal was reached. 452 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 11: My intel is telling me that there's going to be 453 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 11: some kind of a deal uh before you know, close 454 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 11: of not close the business, but before midnight on Tuesday. 455 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 11: But obviously we are in we've been neck deep in 456 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 11: the silly season, so all of that can change between 457 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 11: now and then anybody's game. 458 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: You know. 459 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 5: It's interesting though, I mean, kind of going back to 460 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 5: what you were saying before about what these you know, 461 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 5: what these controversies are about and what they are not about. 462 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: That doesn't see to be a lot of. 463 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 5: Concern like we typically have seen in the past regarding 464 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 5: this shut down in the funding. I know there's the 465 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 5: controversy surrounding the funding and ICE, but you know, from 466 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 5: my view, it seems as as if even most of 467 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 5: those complaints and criticisms and a desire to not fund ICE. 468 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: Seem to be falling flat. 469 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: In the wake of the more egregious, over the top 470 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: complaints coming from the left to the right regarding authoritarian 471 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 5: measures and ICE. Here in Minnesota, there doesn't seem to 472 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 5: be as much concern at the congressional level as we've 473 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 5: seen in the past. Are you seeing something the same 474 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 5: or do you feel differently? 475 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 11: Well, right, I'm just I'm viewing it slightly differently, John, 476 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 11: I mean, insofar as you know, Republicans and Democrats have 477 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 11: retreated to their corners, and the battle, as always is 478 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 11: for those independent voters, a block which has grown, you know, 479 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 11: you and I both know in recent years, and so 480 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 11: it's all about raising the specter of doubt in the 481 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 11: minds of those independent voters. 482 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,479 Speaker 8: Just always listen. You and I have talked about this. 483 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 11: I've been coming on your show for a very very 484 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 11: long time, and I know for the last ten years. 485 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 11: Probably I already know you're about this. I already know 486 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 11: where you're going. Issue of small groups of voters moving 487 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 11: from column to column B, and so at the end 488 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 11: of the day, right, the mass movement isn't what's important. 489 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 8: It's the it's the it's the little things here and there. 490 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 11: All right, let's go, uh, hold on job before you 491 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 11: move on. But you know, one of the things I 492 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 11: do want to say about this, and again saying that 493 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 11: by and large, traditionally, you know, it says that Republicans 494 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 11: are going to lose congressional suits going into the midterms 495 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 11: since that they can afford to lose. A lot can 496 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 11: happen between now and November, and a lot can happen 497 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 11: with the narrative, and a lot can happen with pushing 498 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 11: back on the media. 499 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 8: And so that's what folks need. 500 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 11: To be guarding for, is where the media narrative differs 501 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 11: from what people are seeing in terms of reality. 502 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 5: I want to talk about a couple of Trump related 503 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 5: items before we get to any attempt to rename Adullest Airport. 504 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious to get your thoughts on that. 505 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, from the Daily Wire, and I disagree with this 506 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 5: on its face. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he 507 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 5: was drawing a firm line for Democrat led cities facing 508 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 5: unrest to saying no federal help with protests or riots 509 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 5: unless local leaders ask for it. There will be a 510 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 5: zero tolerance for attacks on federal property, essentially saying that listen, 511 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 5: I'm not going to come in there and help with 512 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 5: the rioting. From the federal level, we will protect our 513 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 5: federal assets and I'm assuming that means our agents as well. 514 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 5: But for those Blue states, you know, unless you ask 515 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 5: for help, we're not going to help you. 516 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: And I have a slight disagreement with that. 517 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 5: There are a lot of people here in Minnesota sitting back, 518 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 5: going we don't like any of this, We didn't vote 519 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 5: for any for any of this, and I would like 520 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: to see the federal government. 521 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts? 522 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 11: Well, I hate to say, I think I think, uh, 523 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 11: I think the President must have been listening, because I 524 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 11: literally said this on whatever show I was doing last week, 525 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 11: I made I made this very point. 526 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 8: I just you know, there's a level of frustration. 527 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 11: And it's like the Winston Wolf line from from pulp fiction. 528 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 8: You gentlemen don't want my help.
