Speaker 1 (00:06):
The Minnesota Vikings are taking a huge risk with their
first year starting quarterback ja Ja McCarthy. Why they are,
what they are doing, and what could happen. All that
on today's show. But first I need to tell you
about five Star Bass Solutions of Minneapolis, because they will

(00:30):
come in and transform your bathroom in forty eight hours.
I'm talking the hall in Shaalada. My wife and I
needed a different bathroom badly. We needed a bathroom model.
And as I looked around for different quotes and different ideas, Oh,
six weeks, here, eight weeks, they're twenty five thousand dollars.
Here what eight weeks? Twenty five thousand, and we have

(00:54):
to cram into our teeny tiny bathroom into the basement
of our house while we try to get ready for work,
while I try to do work downstairs. And it just
wasn't gonna work. And then we found five Star Bass
Solutions of Minneapolis, and they transformed our bathroom, all of it,
the floor, the shower, the surround. We went from one
sink to two sinks, a new vanity, and they did

(01:16):
all of this in forty eight hours. Our bathroom was
back in days. And what we paid for this was
less than what we would have paid for an eight
week project. Affordable payment plans, free consultations. Five Star Bass
Solutions of minneapisol transform your bathroom in forty eight hours.

(01:36):
Why would you go anywhere else? Plus, it instantly adds
value to your home. It is a good investment. It
makes sense. Five Star Bass Solutions of Minneapolis. Contact them
today and get your bathroom transformed in forty eight hours,
not eight weeks. All right. The Minnesota Vikings big risk,
they're huge risk, is how reliant they are on Jajon McCarthy.

(02:01):
Now let me pre reckless everything. Because if McCarthy starts
Game one, which he will, and if he remains healthy
throughout the entire season, which is our hope but is
far from guarantee, then the Minnesota Vikings are good. They're fine.

(02:30):
But if McCarthy goes down with an injury. Let's say
an offensive lineman rolls on his leg the wrong way,
he slides, and someone comes in with a light hit.
If he is knocked out for two to three weeks
or even longer, then do you really trust a guy

(02:52):
like Sam Howell or Brett Rippen to come in and
to run the Vikings offense? Seamless because I don't sure
Sam Halle has showed promise a few games with the
Washington Redskins or Commanders, I don't remember what they were
named when he was their quarterback. But if McCarthy goes

(03:16):
down with an injury in training camp or during the
regular season, the Minnesota Vikings are going to be scrambling
to find some guy that could come in and run
a decent Minnesota Vikings offense. Maybe it's a trade for

(03:37):
Kirk Cousins, maybe it's a trade for a different veteran quarterback,
but that's the game they're playing. Because if McCarthy, if
he doesn't get hurt, and he performs poorly in one game,
he is not going to get benched. That's a guarantee.
McCarthy will not get benched in his rookie season as

(03:58):
starting quarterback for the Vikings. That would be impossible because
the Vikings are too aware of consequences for their decisions.
The confidence game with McCarthy, What that would tell McCarthy,
What messages that would send McCarthy, the questions that they
would receive from the media about McCarthy. So it would

(04:23):
have to be the worst performance in NFL history. For
McCarthy to get benched. Sam Donald was never getting benched
last year, especially after McCarthy went down with his injury
against Jacksonville after he threw three picks near the end zone.
Who are you bringing in a terrible Sam Donald was

(04:45):
always going to be better than the Vikings backup options.
So it's the same formula with McCarthy this year. A
terrible McCarthy is still going to be a better place
then Sam Howell or Brett Rippon, so he's not going
to get benched. That's not the risk. The risk the

(05:08):
Vikings are taking is an ankle spring, an offensive lineman
and rolling over his knee, a late hit by a defender,
a concussion. Because the quarterback position, even as good as
the Vikings roster is, is still the most important position
on the football field. When Kirk Cousins went down with

(05:30):
an injury a few years ago and the Vikings were
starting to roll, you're bringing Josh Jobs, You're throwing Jaren Hall,
You're throwing all these different guys. The Vikings completely collapsed
at the end of the season. Although Jefferson was there
and playing, and although basically the roster was intact, they

(05:51):
collapse because the one position that holds everything together was
not there, was not valuable, was not able to play
because he was injured. So the big risk the Minnesota
Vikings are taking with JJ McCarthy is his health, because
there's no more Aaron Rodgers to bank on because he's

(06:13):
signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's no veteran presence like
Rogers that you can call up and say, hey, we
could use you. Now. I know we've ghosted you and
we've you know, been radio silent on the whole thing.
We've kind of left you on the street and wanted
to put all our money and bets into JJ McCarthy.

(06:34):
But Rogers, why don't you sign a one year minimum
deal and finish off the season. That's not available to
the Vikings anymore. So if they are basically ride or
die with Jajon McCarthy right now, and you look across
the NFL and Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, the dude heals faster

(06:59):
than any other person in the NFL history because most
of his injuries would require someone to be out multiple weeks.
A high ankle sprain here, a high ankle sprain there,
and the dude's back within a week. He doesn't miss
it a game. But you look across the league and
there's quarterbacks that are hurt all the time. To a
tongue Bielow is never healthy. Even a running quarterback puts

(07:24):
himself in big time risk. Joe Burrow has hurt a
few years ago, Anthony Richardson's his shoulder. Injury is always
a thing. So the point I'm making is that injuries
to quarterbacks happen, and you see him happen every single year,
and when their quarterback goes down, their team falls apart.

(07:45):
And right now, if the quarterback goes down on the Vikings,
if McCarthy goes down, I don't trust either of the
backup options to step in and be a capable player
and have that to be seamless. If McCarthy goes down,
the roster that the Vikings put together, a super Bowl

(08:07):
defense and a super Bowl offense, none of it is
going to matter because if you don't have a guy
that can deliver the football, none of it matters. So
it's a risk that the Vikings are taking. And probably
if he does go down, their best trade option would
be Kirk Cousins because he's familiar with the system. But

(08:32):
as of right now, do you really trust either of
the backup options to come in to seamless transition into
his starting quarterback role and have the Vikings pick up
right where their left off. The answer is no. So
that's story number one, story number two, and I talked
about this a little bit last week. Transgender pitcher Champlin

(08:54):
Park Marissa Rothenberger is named the All State women's softball
team after leading Champlain Park to the state championship game
and winning the state championship game. So there it is.

(09:14):
Minnesota is just like California now where men pretending to
be a woman can join a roster and dominate softball
and completely ruin the high school dream of girls that

(09:37):
have participated in softball since four or five years old
and shadowed that dream. What is so interesting about this?
And Someone Biles and Riley Gaines had a huge debate
last week. Someone Biles is pro transgender dominating female supports

(09:59):
and Riley gains is definitely not. She pushes back against that.
What's so interesting about it is that in recent years
the victim that liberals wanted to portray was women. Women
are not being given fair opportunities women. This woman that

(10:23):
some of it fair men overshadow women. Women aren't given
the fair opportunities to succee as men are. They're not
given the spotlight as much as men in sports and
careers wherever. So women were that group of people that
the liberals sided with because they were the victim. And

(10:43):
now all of a sudden we have a sudden shift
from women to transgender that pretend to be women, which
are now affecting women. Isn't that interesting? They went from
women being the most victimized grouping to transgenders being the

(11:04):
most victimized grouping, which are now making women out to
be the victim. It's crazy, the legitimate victim, not just
a pretend victim. Women are the legitimate victim as they
lose to men pretending to be women in state championships.
And the problem that I'm seeing over and over and
over again with this whole entire situation is that as

(11:31):
people are welcoming men competing as the women in sports,
some on biles. I mean, it's a list that goes
all along long, long ways because nobody wants to stand
against it because if you do that, then you're homophobic,
then you're a hater. Then you might lose your there's

(11:51):
a story from Mount Cook last week. Parents did not
want to go on record as their girls softball team
lost to the transgender man or transgender woman. However, that
works as they lost them because they didn't want to
be fired from their jobs. They didn't want to be
outspoken about it, because then you're in trouble. But the

(12:15):
problem that I'm seeing over and over again with this
whole agenda is that the men pretending to be women. Sure,
I know suicide is a huge problem with that, but

(12:35):
the bigger problem is that as it is getting welcomed
and defended and cheered, as people and states and governors
allow it to happen, as people make these movements to
support this idea of it happening and are welcoming in,

(13:01):
then they are just making the problem even worse. They
are just making the problem a bigger problem. And people
like this picture that win the state title for Champlain
feel vindicated for their decision for pretending to be a woman.

(13:25):
And that's what we're seeing. And it's so easy to
confuse anybody. It's so easy to put a question in
someone's mind and put a thought here, put a thought there,
and confuse not just teenagers, but adults into thinking they
aren't who they really are. And you throw in a
teenager that's going through pubiter, that's questioning and lost and

(13:47):
feeling uncomfortable and anxious and depressed, and then you're throwing
a thought of well, maybe you're supposed to be a woman.
Have you ever thought about it like that? And then
they explore this journey of yeah, I'm not who I'm
supposed to be, I am supposed to be a woman.
And when they start exploring this thought process and then

(14:12):
start to feel welcomed into the culture of pretending to
be someone you're not and it starts to feel good, well,
then that's why we have a problem. People are feeling
a certain way, are feeling loved, that's what I want
to say. They're feeling loved from a certain population, like

(14:34):
a Simone Biles for becoming a transgender. They feel like
a sense of belonging. But the problem with that is
that that's not the definition of love. That's the definition
of catering to whatever someone feels. That's the definition of
catering to how somebody feels. It's not a definition of love.
A definition of love is truth and love holding people accountable,

(14:58):
telling people what's right. So you look at what's happening
in Minnesota and California and all of these transgender athletes
winning these women's warts. One, it's interesting because the most
victimized group in liberals eyes were women, and now women
are actually being the victim. And number two, why we
are seeing this is because people like sim Own Biles

(15:21):
are defending this and are giving people a sense of
belonging when the reason why they're struggling is ultimately and
why the suicide racers so high is because people are
not who they were meant to be. So they think
they're conforming into who they're supposed to be by pretending

(15:43):
to be a woman. But then they realize, oh, now
I'm still not happy, I'm still battling these anxious thoughts,
and now I'm in a women's mask. It's just a
problem creating a problem by catering to how people feel.

(16:03):
So that needs to stop. And women are now legitimately
the victim because men pretending to be women are now
dominating their sports and taking away state titles. And someone
likes some own Biles has no problem with that. They

(16:23):
have no problem with a man dressing and undressing in
a women's locker room coaches, the state governor. It's like
there's so much catering going on out of fear, and
that's creating the problem because people want to cater. It's
creating people that are pretending to be women and then

(16:49):
they're not happy and then they kill themselves. It's just
it's just a problem and it needs to be fixed.
So those are my thoughts on that entire agenda, and
it's sad, it really is sad. I prayed for the
agenda last week, prayed for the transgender softball player because
as much as I disagree with what they're doing, there's

(17:12):
so much hate online and there's so much defense online
too of what they're doing. Coming it's either hate or
it's yeah, you're doing the right thing, you're a hero.
And I'm gonna take the stance in the middle and say,
I disagree with what you're doing, but i'm gonna pray
for what you're doing. I'm gonna pray for you, and
I'm gonna pray for the entire situation because that's what

(17:32):
the situation needs. All right. Thanks for watching. Hit that
