Don't certainly on the drive in this morning 5 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: where I did not see a single not a single 6 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: minda vehicle driving in and the roads were still garbage. 7 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there are all these travel 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: like these don't go on the road travel advisory is 9 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: still happening. I'm convinced it's because the fraud has taken 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: all of our money to get our roads cleaned up. 11 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: Today. 12 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: No Andrew Langer on a Monday show today.

We 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: are going to talk a little bit of the oscars 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: on the show today. I have some audio to share. 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: I didn't watch any of it. This is part of 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: what we'll end up talking about. So I had intended 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: to play the AMC the intro. 22 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: We've come to this place. 23 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: For some reason, the computer didn't go and cooperate because 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I actually have a clip from Nicole Kidman, who does 25 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: the amc intro, and I have a couple of moments 26 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: from the Oscars last night that really do prove that 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: not all is lost in terms of Hollywood, this being 28 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: one of them where prior to the Awards ceremony, Variety 29 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: Magazine had stopped Nicole Kidman on the red carpet asking 30 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: you know what her plans were today and what she 31 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: had been doing. 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: And this is what she had to say, how do 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: you prepare? Is this something that crazy? We'll go to church. 34 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: Going squeezing it in. 35 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: He's asking her, how do you prepare for the Oscars? 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: What are you do leading up to it? And she goes, 37 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: I go to church in the morning. That's what I 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: do on a Sunday. And then he asked her, what's 39 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: the importance of that? Well, I think that's kind of 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: a given, you know, God, Jesus, the Bible. Quite a 41 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: bit of Bible talk today, By the way, I'm just 42 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: going to give you a give you a fair warning. 43 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: And what I do on a Sunday, you do from 44 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see my company, and. 45 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 4: I do know my little and prepping and then and 46 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 4: it's very early tomorrow. 47 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: They started. Yeah, so isn't that earlier them yet didn't? 48 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, stuff, it's crazy, like we'll be out of there 49 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: and then it's okay to night is just beginning. 50 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: It's Sunday night. 51 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: They're they're on spring break. But but no, that that 52 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: will be that will all be sort of just talking, Yeah, 53 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: go home, have a bath and. 54 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: And I know it's a little difficulty here, but he 55 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: was basically talking about the remainder of her day, and 56 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: this Variety reporter is framing all of the questions to 57 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman around his expectations of how she should be 58 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: handling oscar gay and night, and Nicole Kidman's just saying, Oh, 59 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: I go to church in the morning. That's what I 60 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: do on Sundays. My kids aren't getting involved in any 61 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: of this. There at home, it's a it's a late night, 62 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, almost like it's just a job. And that's 63 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: how it not not for all actors and actresses. But 64 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: we certainly have gotten away from that because the reporter 65 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: was being very presumptive in assuming that she would have 66 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: all these special things and her children would be going 67 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: to all these parties, and seems somewhat surprised that she 68 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: would actually go to church in the morning. 69 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: Well, what does that? What does that mean for you? 70 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: What is that question even? 71 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: And this type of mentality I have several examples of today, 72 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: because there is a level of desperation that I'm seeing 73 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: that will that we'll get into left this Hollywood is 74 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: no surprise at all. I have just horrible clips from 75 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel and and Codo O'Brien. We're not going to 76 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: spend a ton a ton of time on it, just 77 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: a little bit heading into later on this hour, but 78 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: I have numerous examples from Minnesota media wherein they are 79 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: going all in on the leftist propaganda. And while part 80 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: of this is again not much of a surprise, it 81 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: is very indicative and a good example of the desperation 82 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: that is setting in on the left right now. Because 83 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: they do not have ownership of all these different other 84 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: information outlets that they have had in the past. They 85 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: still on the oscars and the commentary surrounding that. But 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: even then, squeaking through the cracks is sanity, talk about families, 87 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: the importance of church. Very interesting response to what played 88 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: out last night. So I'll give you the winners and 89 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: losers coming up in just a moment here on the show. 90 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: State Senator Michael Holstrom, part of the Freedom Caucus, was 91 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: at the Gun Bill Committee hearings that took place Friday 92 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: in Saint Paul. We'll get an update on the Democrats 93 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: desire to go and strip you of your right to 94 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: keep in bare arms.

They brought back 99 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the churros, but not in the way that you would think, 100 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: and not in the way that fans of the previous 101 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: turos actually went and wanted either. We'll also get you 102 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: updated on the storm.

O. Okay, we're 152 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: back up into like the high fifties coming up the week, 153 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna last long. 154 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: There's a lot of it out there. 155 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 5: Though we did get a in uh Egan Burnsville area. 156 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 5: We got about it says eleven to twelve inches that's 157 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 5: I guess with the wind, probably true, but. 158 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: It felt like a lot more in that. 159 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: It was just insane to me because it was all gone. 160 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I was told them, Alinda this yesterday, like it was 161 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: all the snow was gone, it was all cleared off, 162 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: and now there's more than it was before. 163 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 5: No, I will say when I pulled in this morning, 164 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 5: I was a little surprised to see the Stinger because 165 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 5: I was curious if that car could could hold its 166 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 5: own in the snow.

Otherwise, it's just really kind of dumb 177 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: to get a car like that in weather like this 178 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: unless you're only going to drive it during the spring 179 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: and summer months. And I have a right neighbor across 180 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the street, who's that way? But no, I like driving 181 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: my car all the time. 182 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: Let's go to the iHeartRadio app. 183 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Your Topbacks are brought to you by Lyndahl Real Day Morning, 184 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: John and Sam. 185 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 6: I cut my teeth driving a nineteen seventy seven Ford 186 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 6: Maverick rear wheel drive back in the seventies. So yesterday, 187 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 6: with front wheel drive and all wheel drive on most 188 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 6: vehicles on the road, there's no reason we needed to 189 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 6: go into total panic about some snow, which actually wasn't 190 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: as much as they said it was. I had my 191 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 6: fitness class in the morning. I refused to cancel it, 192 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 6: and I got out there and just lived life. That's 193 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 6: right after COVID. Everybody's afraid. 194 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. Scott, So we warn't Scott. 195 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: He's so intense, it's like it makes me feel it 196 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: makes me feel like I'm not exuding enough energy when 197 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: Scott leaves his top backs. No, thank you, thank you 198 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: as always. 199 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 7: So. 200 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: Governor Jim Walls did declare a peacetime emergency authorize the 201 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: assistance of the Minnesota National Guard based off of the 202 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: storm that rolled through. We've got a lot of closings though, 203 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: I mean you've got school closings, you've got businesses closed, 204 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: church was canceled for in person yesterday at least for ours. 205 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: Highways closed, six hundred flights canceled. Here's the question that 206 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: I have. Can we expect the Democrats to begin calling 207 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: for millions in relief? Since this mirrors their ridiculous claims 208 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: over Operation Metro Search. I mean it does, I mean 209 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: businesses closed, schools closed. Be careful while you're out on 210 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: the roadways. I guess we didn't have flights that were 211 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: canceled because of Operation Metro Search. We should have, though, 212 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: just to keep all that money from flowing out of 213 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: the state over too Somalia. 214 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: So I'm just wondering if we can. 215 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Expect declarations requests for millions of dollars in assistance because 216 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: of the winter storm. 217 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: We don't have it. Do we have a name for it? 218 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: We didn't get a name for it. We I feel 219 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: kind of jypped. We should have had a name for 220 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: the storm. I dropped the ball on that one. 221 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: John, Yeah, I would say, we don't usually name I mean, 222 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: do we we do hurricanes? I know, but we don't 223 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: usually do like blizzards. We should have we should have 224 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: had a name for it. All right, let's go here. 225 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle after Another, which I did 226 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: not see by the way that was did not see, 227 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: not did not see, sounded like I could find it. 228 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: It's Monday. I did win Best Picture at the ninety 229 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: eighth Academy Awards, marking Paul Thomas Anderson a darling of 230 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: the left. 231 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: First Oscar win. 232 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: Apparently, One Battle after Another is just Terminator to rehashed 233 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: plot wise. 234 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: I went through a breakdown. I had no desire to 235 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: go and see it. 236 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: I was a little curious based off the trailer, but 237 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: then the initial reaction to it was that it was 238 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: one just big woke talking point, and I'm like, no, 239 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: I'm good. But I also read too that it basically 240 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: just rips off all of Terminator two's plot line, much 241 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: in the same way that Avatar does for Ingalie. The 242 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: ceremony also saw Michael B. Jordan when Best Actor for Sinners, 243 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: a movie I have seen twice, enjoy that movie quite 244 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: a bit. Autumn drawled arkapaw Arcapa ever heard of her 245 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: first female cinematographer to win an Oscar. The event highlighted 246 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: the success of big budget original films like One Battle 247 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: after Another and Sinners from the Starts. According to the 248 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: article that I have here from Daily Wire, host Conan 249 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: O'Brien sprinted through the year's nominees as Amy Madigan's character 250 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: in the horror thriller Weapons in a pre taped bit 251 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: I did see Weapons. 252 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: Did not like that movie. 253 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: Sunday Ceremony was quirky, a little clunk, and preoccupied with 254 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: the shifting place of movies in culture. Netflix sensation K 255 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: Pop Demon Hunters twenty twenty five's most watched film one 256 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: Best Animated Feature. I can see that best song for 257 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: Golden I can see that too. It's really good. By 258 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: the way, have you seen K Pop Demon Hunters? I 259 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: have so many times, my nieces, it's really good. Watch 260 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: that on repeating it's a really good movie. 261 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that it would be, but it actually is. 262 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: I was stunned. Melinda. 263 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Something very similar went with one of our neighbors because 264 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: she took her her daughter to go see it when 265 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: they were doing the limited showings in theaters. Oh sure, 266 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: and Melinda had like zero expectations. 267 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: She came back, She's like, you gotta watch this so 268 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: it's really good. 269 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 5: I will say I Yeah, maybe it's because I've seen 270 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 5: too many times, but I actually did like Utopia two 271 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 5: better than K Pop Demon Hunters. 272 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were gonna watch that over the weekend. I wasn't. 273 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Utopia fan, but I guess I 274 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: got a need to watch it. I mean, I like, 275 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: I see the first one a few times. It's worth 276 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: it's let's see Gierma del Turmals Guerbro del Toro's Frankenstein 277 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: picked up three awards. It was okay costume design, makeup, 278 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: hairstyling f one love that movie, one for Best Sounds, 279 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: and then the lone blockbuster of the year to go 280 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: home with a win was Avatar Fire and Ash for 281 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: its visual effects. Now, of course, the evening was not 282 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: without its ridiculous leftist commentary, including host Conan O'Brien, who 283 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: really disappointing because, typically, at least from my perspective, he 284 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: stayed out of the political fray, but made this ridiculous 285 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: comment in their run up to the Oscars last night, first. 286 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 8: Time since twenty twelve that there are no British actors 287 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 8: nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress. Yeah, British spokesperson said, yeah, 288 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 8: well at least we arrest. 289 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Our pedophiles, so yeah, you know, And there were notable 290 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: groans as that clip went on because it wasn't I mean, 291 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't funny, not that I have any expectation or 292 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: otherwise coming from the Hollywood elitists at their event. Something 293 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: we'll talk about coming up in just a moment. There's 294 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: a fantastic piece I want to share a few points 295 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: out of from the Daily Wire. The Oscars audience today 296 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: reveals something about America's divide, and it is really spot 297 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: on in its commentary. Jimmy Kimmel, of course, not one 298 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: to ever let an opportunity to say something ridiculous slip by, 299 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: took a subtle jab at CBS he was presenting Best 300 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: a Documentary. But it's this clip prior to the events 301 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: that has gone viral. 302 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: Are you exhausted and knowing every night you've got to 303 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: say some looking in my face? But I mean some exhausted. 304 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: Of course, it's ridiculous. We live in a ridiculous country. 305 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 9: We always lived in a ridiculous country, but there's always 306 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 9: ridiculous in a fun, mister Keey kind of way. 307 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: Now, we've got a different mister tea. Yeah, this's there's 308 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: a while I didn't think of it as a mister too.

Hopeful, am I hopeful? 311 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 2: I'm always hopeful? Yeah, yeah, I'm always hopeful. 312 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel should be incredibly thankful to still be in 313 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: the position that he's in. Individuals like him, those late 314 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: night talk show hosts, they're a dying breed with the 315 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: way that I entertainment is fragmented right now, and he 316 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: should really be more appreciative of what this great country 317 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: has to offer. It's provided him the opportunity that he has, 318 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: and yet he squanders it for the sake of cheap 319 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: of political points. 320 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: Not all is lost, by the way. 321 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: There's a couple of clips a woman who won Best 322 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: Actress stunned to the audience talking positively about marriage. 323 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: Shocking, I know, you know. 324 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: On its Listen, this was a typical leftist Hollywood. Okay, 325 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: not a huge surprise by any of this, but it 326 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: does really go to show the divide that we have 327 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: in the country right now and why there is so 328 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: much desperation to pedal in propaganda that we have seen 329 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: not just on the national level at events like this, 330 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: but specifically here locally.

I've been excited 378 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: for this film ever since it was first announcement. We're 379 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: going to see it this evening. As we continue, which 380 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: is a little bit more of oscar talk, let's get 381 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 1: to a few of your talkbacks. First from the iHeartRadio 382 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: app this morning here on Twin City's News Talk. 383 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 7: I'm calling to one up the talkbacker who said he 384 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 7: cut his teeth driving his seventies era rear wheel drive 385 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 7: Ford Maverick. 386 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: No Scott. 387 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 7: My first car was also a Ford Maverick, and it 388 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 7: had no reverse. It made driving an adventure, to say 389 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 7: the least. It's ironic the car couldn't go backwards, and 390 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 7: yet I have trouble making progress. 391 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got you guys, both beat. I've told the 392 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: story before. 393 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: My first car was a fifty four vole Swag, an 394 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: oval window with two gray fend It was orange with 395 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: two gray fenders and the black hood and holes behind 396 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: both the driver and passenger seat. 397 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: It had no gas cage. It had an extra tank. 398 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: It was kind of divided, so if the car ran 399 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: out of fuel, you would flip this little toggle switch 400 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: down by your feet and it would give you about 401 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen miles of reserves. I got you, bo 402 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: I got you both beat on that. But thank you, Tom, 403 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: and you were responding to the front of the show, Scott. 404 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 13: No, we do not name winter storms. The Weather Channel 405 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 13: is the only one that does that, and then people 406 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 13: latch onto it. It is not an official thing for 407 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 13: the National Weather Service. We name hurricanes and tropical storms 408 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 13: only see I. 409 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: Think we should name big storms like the ones that 410 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: we had. I think we should add to that. 411 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: It would certainly make the coverage surrounding them a lot 412 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: more interesting, and we can come up with our own formula. 413 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: I know when it comes to the hurricanes and tropical storms, 414 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: they just move through the alphabet and then they have 415 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of names that are already picked out based 416 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: off of that. 417 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: We need to do the same thing for storms. 418 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 1: I imagine we don't because they happen a lot more 419 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: often than your tropical storms and your hurricanes. 420 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 2: I still think that we that we should. 421 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: Last night Oscars interesting piece out of Daily Wired this morning. 422 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: The Hollywood class still believes the oscars matter to the public. 423 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: They're sadly mistaken. The country stopped tuning in years ago. 424 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: It's a lengthy piece. I just wanted to share with 425 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: you a few points and then we'll move over to 426 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: a few other issues this morning, including what's been going 427 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: on with Iran and DHS to funding as well. So 428 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: why does the Hollywood class still believe the oscars matt 429 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: to the public. 430 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: Why are they mistaken? 431 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: Because the oscars have become siloed, The author says, I 432 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: believe it comes down to what we choose to celebrate. 433 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the applause when winners weighed up 434 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: the stairs in heels and floor length gowns. I mean 435 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: everything else, the movies themselves and the values embedded in them. 436 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: Too many Oscar favorites today have stopped prizing cinematic beauty 437 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: or harmony of form. Instead, they prize perceived importance, doing 438 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: that thing with my fingers, trauma laden narratives, a brace 439 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: of esthetics in certain grim moral instruction. The numbers tell 440 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 1: the story of a public that feels lectured rather than lifted. 441 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,239 Speaker 1: According to a recent RAS muse and report, fifty four 442 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: percent of Americans believe movies have gotten worse over the 443 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: past two decades, while only twenty seven percent say they've improved. 444 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about this is that because I've 445 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: got a foot into pop culture, because I just I 446 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: love movies, you know, this, and I follow this stuff 447 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: and I follow out pop culture commentary. There's been this 448 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: predominant narrative in the background within pop culture relating to 449 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: movies of the eighties and now into the nineties and 450 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: the early two thousands, and this. 451 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: Pining for the days of old. 452 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: The commentary typically swirls around the look of the films, 453 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: but that's not what people are focusing on, because what 454 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: they're focusing on is exactly what this piece is talking about, 455 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: and really what it comes down to in the simplest terms, 456 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: it's the vulcification of Hollywood that certainly spiraled out of 457 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: control in the wake of COVID. But it's really interesting 458 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: to see all of these left leaning pop culture commentators, 459 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: and specifically this has been attached to Project Hail Mary 460 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: because they've done a bunch of test screenings. 461 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 2: They did screenings over the weekend. 462 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: It's getting universal praise and I'll talk more about this 463 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 1: in a moment, and many people are talking about how 464 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: it's returned to form for cinema. And yet there is 465 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: a very small fraction of individuals out there on the 466 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: left that are trying to go and apply woke standards 467 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: to the film that simply don't exist. Getting back to 468 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: this Daily Wire piece, it says Hollywood is delivering lectures 469 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: instead of entertainment and wondering why half the country has 470 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: stopped watching. Assumed liberalism, says the Daily Wire author, a 471 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: term I leaned heavily on in theater school, runs through 472 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: most monologues, speeches, and acceptance remarks alike, Americans with differing worldviews. 473 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: The majority of the country, it turns. 474 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Out, must sift through the leftist jargon just to figure 475 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: out who won best picture. Assumed liberalism. That's a great term, 476 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: by the way, and something that we'll get to in 477 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: numerous stories this morning, this whole Christian nationalism argument. Karen 478 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: Tolkienan in the Star Tribune, has another piece railing on 479 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: Christian nationalism, but really that's focused on assumed liberalism. All 480 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: a Christian nationalist is to a progressive is a regular 481 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: Christian is the person aligned with the principles of the 482 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: Bible that actually believes the Bible and doesn't try to 483 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: go and distort its writings to fit their perverse progressive 484 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: liberal narrative. 485 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: Now back to this Daily Wire piece. At the end, 486 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: it says, of. 487 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: Course, there are other culprits short form media has fractured 488 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: our attention to pandemic, bruised the theater, going habits. Streaming 489 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: platforms have made us all shut ins. But those are 490 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: the mechanics of decline, not the heart of it. The 491 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: heart of the problem is what the oscars now define 492 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: as worthy of our attention. The result is a cultural 493 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: echo chamber, a narrow slice of Americans celebrating messages that 494 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: resonate beyond their own little zip codes. Some conservatives are 495 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: happy about this, vindictive. Even the author says, I don't 496 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: count myself among them, And I agree with the writer here. 497 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: The country needs these silly, glittering nights more than we'd 498 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: like to admit, moments when we can look at the 499 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: stars and see something of ourselves in them, our dignity, 500 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: our aspirations, and our common story. And this is the 501 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: praise that's being heaped upon Project Hail Mary. It's being 502 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: called the feel good masterpiece, a return to the blockbuster 503 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: filled with hope, and I can really understand why, again 504 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: having read the book. 505 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: The most woke thing about the story. 506 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: And this is not spoiling anything, is some smattering of 507 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: commentary around global warming in the book. Not a surprise 508 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: but even then, there's an argument to be made that 509 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: while it takes a global warming climate change is real stance, 510 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: it actually serves as an example of how if that's true, 511 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: le as humans are incapable of stopping it. And again, 512 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: I bring all this up because I've seen these pop 513 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: culture commentators, as I've mentioned, desperately trying to apply progressive 514 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: talking points that simply don't exist to this film. Why 515 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: because they know that it's going to be a massive 516 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: hit and they need everything and anything that they can 517 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: go unattach their leftist ideologies too, because they don't have 518 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: anything to run on. As I've said so many times 519 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: relating to policy. Another clip that went viral last night 520 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: an actress I'm not very familiar with. I'm trying to 521 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: think of. I've actually I've even seen her in a film. 522 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: She was in the movie Hamnitz. She was also in 523 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: the Frankenstein movie that came out, The Bride over the 524 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: Weekend that got rag That was last week, and I 525 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,239 Speaker 1: think that got panned. However, she ended up winning an 526 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: oscar last night and went viral because she dare go 527 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: and use her opportunity during the Oscars to praise motherhood 528 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: and marriage you. 529 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: Fred I love you, ma'am. I love you. 530 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: You're the most incredible dad. You're my best friend. And 531 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 3: I want to have twenty thousand more babies with you. 532 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: I do, I do. And Isla my little girl who 533 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 3: is eight months, who has absolutely no idea what's going on, 534 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: and it is probably dreaming of milk. 535 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: But this is kind of a big deal. 536 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 3: And I love you and I love being your mom, 537 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 3: and I can't wait to discover life beside you, Chloe 538 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 3: and Maggie. 539 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: You to get to know. 540 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: This incandescent woman and journey to understand the capacity of 541 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: a mother's love is the greatest collision of my life. 542 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: It's Mother's Day in the UK today, so I would 543 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a 544 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 3: mother's heart. 545 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: Not all is lost. 546 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: You have an Oscar winner like that, actually praising marriage, motherhood. 547 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman saying, I'm going. I went to church in 548 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: the morning. That's how I prepare for the Oscars. Now, 549 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to actually going and choosing the best picture, 550 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: the Oscars are lost. 551 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: I have a list here of the rules. 552 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: In order to compete at the Oscars for Best Picture, 553 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: all films must meet the diversity inclusion quota. I wish 554 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: that wasn't a thing, but tragically it is, and it 555 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: really belongs on our never ending parade of stupid this morning. 556 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: So here's just a couple of the rules if you 557 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: want to win Best Picture. First off, lead or significant 558 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: supporting actors from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. At least 559 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors submitted 560 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: for oscar's consideration must be from an underrepresentative racial ethnic 561 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: group in a specific country or territory of production. And 562 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: then off they have the list of all of the 563 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: different racial groups that you can go and choose from. 564 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: It pretty much looks like the list when you are 565 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: filling out a survey or an application or a doctor's 566 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: visit and then asks you what your nationality is. There's 567 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: a lot more included in this, though also general ensemble cast. 568 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: At least thirty percent of all actors not submitted for 569 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: OSCAR consideration are from at least two underrepresented groups, which 570 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: may include women, racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ, people with 571 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: cognitive or physical disabilities. 572 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 2: The list goes on and on and on. 573 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: What happens if it's a film where it's just like 574 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: one person, like what if Castaway with Tom Hanks. 575 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: We never had the beginning of it. 576 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: It was just him on the island and getting off, 577 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: and he gave the best performance ever. No, can't win 578 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: Best Picture because there's just a white hie in it. 579 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: So ridiculous. Yeah, and you wonder why the OSCARS have 580 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: lost its luster. 581 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 14: John This weekend, for the first time a long time, 582 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 14: I kind of wanted to go to the theater and 583 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 14: watch a movie. And I just looked to see what 584 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 14: was playing at our theater here, and there is absolutely 585 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 14: nothing to go and see. That's pretty say. You'd happen 586 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 14: to stumble across my cousin Vinnie yesterday. I've never seen 587 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 14: that whole movie, and man, that's a pretty darn good 588 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 14: movie that could have been made just on a shoestring 589 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 14: budget compared to what they dump into these garbage movies 590 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 14: that they today. I also happen to watch The Machine, 591 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 14: which is kind of a funny movie too. Good morning, John, 592 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 14: Rick and Virginia. Very interesting conversation about the Oscars. You know, 593 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 14: back in the day, it used to be the greatest 594 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 14: actors and greatest movies against the greatest actors and greatest movies, 595 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 14: the actresses and actress these people were well known. They'd 596 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 14: get up, they win an oscar, they thank their wife, 597 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 14: thank their family, thank the producer and director, and thank 598 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 14: you for the opportunity. Today they want to give a 599 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 14: political speech and tell us how to live. Well, they 600 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 14: don't live the same themselves. Hypocritical, I agree. I will 601 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 14: add this though it's always been this way. You know, 602 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 14: the Oscars used to be a family affair. I remember 603 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 14: that growing up. I used to watch the Oscars all 604 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 14: the time. They've always made political commentary. 605 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: There is a. 606 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: Difference now because of the ability to go and proliferate 607 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: that commentary and to zero in on these talking points 608 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: as they're shared on social media, so they end up 609 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: getting more attention they typically would. And there may have 610 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: been a better balance in the past than there is now, 611 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: But that Hollywood leftist elitism has been there for a 612 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: long for a long long time. No, the Oscars, in 613 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: the way that they go in volee form, it's completely 614 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: irrelevant at this point in time. 615 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 2: And unfortunately there hasn't been like a counter to the Oscars. No, 616 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: there's there need to be. 617 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: I think Rotten Tomatoes probably took that over so all right, 618 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: let's go here. President Donald Trump said yesterday Iran's military 619 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: has been decimated, claiming the US has wiped out the 620 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 1: country's air defenses and severely weakened his forces. Asked whether 621 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: he was ready to officially declare victory against Iran, Trump 622 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: said he was not declaring it over, but argue the 623 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: damage to Tehran's military has been significant. Trump said the 624 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: US operations have taken out Iran's air force and air 625 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: defense systems, leaving the country with no air defense what's however, 626 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: and argued that Iran's missile and drone capabilities have also 627 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: been sharply reduced. He added that the US and Israel 628 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: had similar objectives regarding Iran, and the two countries' militaries 629 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: are very well coordinated. Most of the focus over the 630 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: weekend has been on the Straight of Ormuz, and Trump 631 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: did also say that he was preparing to announce a 632 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: Straight of Ormuz ship escort to coalition to ensure safe 633 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: passage of those vessels through the strait. Now we are 634 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: entering week three of Operation Epic Fury. Still don't know 635 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: how much longer it's going to go. Initially, I think 636 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: Trump had said three or four to five weeks, so 637 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: it looks like we're still on track. And as I've 638 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: said many times, the one to two punch of a 639 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: successful end to the mission in Iran, which I also 640 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: believe is part of the reason why you're hearing such 641 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: over the top commentary and propaganda and at the volume 642 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: that we're seeing, because right now Trump does have the 643 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: public on his side regarding Iran. That that can always 644 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: change if this were to drag out for too long. 645 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: But the one two punch here is a successful mission 646 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: in Iran taking out this regime. And then you couple 647 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: that with the passage of the Save Act and apparently 648 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: there's going to be a vote taking place on Wednesday. 649 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: Here was that commentary news coverage from Fox News regarding 650 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: a potential vote on the Save Act later this week. 651 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 2: On the Save. 652 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,479 Speaker 15: America Act, as the Senate gear's up for a vote 653 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 15: on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader John Boone casting doubt over 654 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 15: using the talking filibuster to get this over the finish line, 655 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 15: saying the votes are not there, and that had us 656 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 15: thinking about what Chuck Schumer said about his party using 657 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 15: the talking filibuster back when he was Majority leader. 658 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 9: If the Republicans block cloature on the legislation before for us, 659 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 9: I will put forward a proposal to change the rules 660 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 9: to allow for a talking filibuster on this legislation, as 661 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 9: recommended by a number of our colleagues who have been 662 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 9: working on this reform for. 663 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 2: A long time. 664 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 15: Joining me now ahead of his Save America tour, earth 665 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 15: Littal stop it there. 666 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: That was from Fox News over the weekend. Listen, get 667 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: the Save Act done. I don't know where the votes 668 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: are currently, but with a vote coming up on Wednesday, 669 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: if they were able to pass this out of a Senate, 670 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: out of the Senate, which I still feel like is 671 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: a bit of a long shot, but watch the left 672 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: spiral as they cope. If Republicans are actually able to 673 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: go and get this thing across the finish line, especially 674 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: considering their arguments for keeping DHS shut down, just are 675 00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: not flying anymore. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Boodagic, appearing yesterday 676 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: on State of the Union, acknowledged that the ongoing Senate 677 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: standoff over the funding of DHS is a largely political 678 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 1: dispute rather than a pure funding crisis. 679 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 9: Don't you think Democrats should just take what's something of 680 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 9: a win and start funding DHS again. 681 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 12: I think Republicans should stop blocking the Democratic proposals to 682 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 12: fund all of DHS, including TSA and other parts, except 683 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 12: for the parts that should be negotiated over, which is 684 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 12: ICE and Customs and border patrol. Remember, ICE has already 685 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 12: gotten tens of billions of dollars of funding. It's larger 686 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 12: than many of the world's military. But that was a 687 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 12: look over here if I ever heard a look over 688 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 12: here again, Pete Buddhajid with Jake Tapper on CNN. The 689 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 12: DAMS just simply do not have a justifiable argument for 690 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 12: keeping DHS shut down. 691 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: And the litany of Sunday News shows there was congressional 692 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: leftists after congres rational leftist failing to go and justify 693 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: again keeping DHS shut down, and the desperation is visible 694 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: in local commentary here in Minnesota. 695 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 2: We'll get to this coming up next. 696 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: There's a piece out of a couple of pieces out 697 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Reformer. This one the Minnesota Resistance exposed 698 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: the Orwellian frauds of this administration. A better piece of 699 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: gas lighting I could not give you this morning on 700 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: the show, I'll share with you some of the details 701 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 1: and we'll get to your comments from the iHeartRadio app. 702 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: Talkbacks brought to you by Lyndahl Realty.
