Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you heard the news as Project Freedom commenced, rand
has attacked US horses more than ten times.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
As for the ceasefires, it's not.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Over residential fitness test award and we're bringing it back.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Checking often for the latest time.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins, but I
can confirm they don't. Ultimately, any follow on effort, if
there are minds identified, would be something that are some
of our units could undertake or the world could undertake.
But right now we know we have a lane of
safe passage that commercial shipping can can flow through.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh yeah, crazy, am i? Or am I so sane
that you just blew your mind?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Is impossible?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Or is it so possible that.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Your head is spinning like a top.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
It can't be or is your entire world just crashing down?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I did not have Kamakazie dolphins on my bingo card yesterday.
This was during the Q and A portion We aired
the first part of the opening statements from Secretary of
War and friend of the show Pete Hegseth yesterday giving
(01:20):
an update on Operation Epic Fury, which is now turning
into something else, Project Freedom. But during the Q and
a portion of that press conference yesterday with General Raisin
Kine the National Security briefing. It took a turn when
(01:45):
the Daily Wires White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olahan pressed
hag Seth on reports of kamakaze dolphins. Here's actually the
entirety of that clip here on Twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
My name is John Justin, it's good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
You said that the attacks by Iran so far are
below the threshold of restarting major combat operations.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What is that threshold?
Speaker 7 (02:09):
And then for Secretary of Hugsath, are there still concerns
about minds in the strait and can you kind of
clarify these reports of kamakazi dolphins that we've heard about.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
I haven't heard the Kamakasi dolphins thing. Starts with laser
beings straight. The threshold of restarting is a political decision
above my pay grade. What I'll say is it's more
low harassing fire. Right now, it feels like Iron is
grasping its straws to try to do something across the
southern flank. To your question, David, their command and control
(02:41):
structure remains very fractured, and I think they're struggling to
maintain control down Achalon at the edge, but we're still
it's still pretty low level kinetics at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I can't confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins,
but I can confirm they don't.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Intimately what a world man and I get paid to
talk about it. Devin is in the studio next door
this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Good morning to him.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
On the show today, We've got Representative Tom Memory, He'll
be joining us at right around seven to twenty, and
then we have gubernatorial candidates and a congressman in Wisconsin,
Tom Tiffany. It's been a while since we've talked with Tom.
We have two Tom's dueling Tom's Tom's Times two. He'll
be on at seven thirty and Liz callin from Alphin News.
(03:34):
We'll be joining us right around eight thirty this morning.
I have more to share with you regarding Operation what
am I calling an ikey forgetting it hasn't stuck in
Project Freedom, Project Freedom, whether or not the military aspect
of Epic Fury is over. Marco Rubio took over as
(03:55):
the White House Press Secretary. They're going to rotate some
people through because Caroline it had a child and she
is out on maternity leave or paid family medically.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know if they have that to have that there.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
So I have audio of a Marco Rubio because he
had a fantastic job yesterday. It's hysterical. I'll share that
with you coming up in just a few minutes. I
want to start here though, on a personal matter. I
have the stupidest mystery that I cannot solve. Are you
ready for this? It's really it's it's just dumb and
I can't figure it out. So about two months ago,
(04:28):
months and a half ago, I went out into the
parking lot as I was leaving and Monty, my car
which I purchased, you know, it was like September October
last year, you know, was there waiting for me as
it is every day. And I back into the parking
stall because I'm a crazy person. Now, that's tight confines
in the parking garage, and so there's nobody there in
(04:49):
the morning when I get in, apart from Chris Carr
from K one O two. So you know, I've got
my choice of spots, and so it's really easy to
back in. Who's no other cars around, and it's easy
to pull out and it's a really dangerous parking lot.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So I drive.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
As I'm walking up to the car, I noticed that
the front license plate on the car was bent. So
I don't have a license plate plate frame on the front.
I have one on the back, but I don't have
one on the front of Monty And so it's just
the you know, it's the mount and then there's the
two bolts right and then the plate. So the right
(05:22):
side of the license plate was bent like right at
the bolt, as if somebody had walked over, grabbed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It and pulled it and bent it.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Not only was it bent, but it had like a
little tear on it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So I'm really strange. I'm like, okay, that's odd.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Now I examined the whole rest of the car. There's
no other damage, and so I bring that up because
I thought, well, is you know, the car's kind of long,
it's not really stick it out. I mean, I back
it all the way up to the wall for crying
out loud. So maybe somebody came by and like snagged
it with their car.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you're only looking.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
At like an inch and a half thickness when you
measure the base attached to the bumper and the plate,
So you would think that, I mean, that would have
that would have had to have been just perfect for
another car to just snag the plate and bend it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So I was saying, all right, weird.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
You know, and I bend it back into shape, and
I thought maybe at home something was happening, because we
kind of we fit all of our cars into the garage.
It's one of the most successful things I've done as
a father is that we The person that owned the
home before us had done a lot of renovations and
they extended the garage, and so I was able to
fit all four of our cars within our garage.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's probably a fire hazard. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
If the fire department ever drove by and saw all
four vehicles stacked on each other in the garage, he
probably would go and lock me up. So I thought, well,
maybe it's happening in the garage. But there was nothing
in the garage. Yesterday, same thing. I went out to
the car again. The license plate was bent again, exactly
the same spot.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
The only thing that I can guess is that somebody
is doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But what a silly thing to do, like.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
In my mind, I go, Okay, somebody doing it to
get a rise out of me. They don't like me,
and then they're wanting me to do exactly what I'm
doing now on the show. But then I'm thinking, okay,
that's really I mean, that's really out. If I'm actually
correct on that, then hat tip to that person for
successfully pulling off this magic trick. Because I have no
explanation whatsoever as to why my license plate keeps getting bent.
(07:40):
So my next move is I'm going to get a
license plate cover, a generical one for the front of
the car in a frame to put on there to
see what transpires from there.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I wrestled with whether and I was going to
share it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But you're a very smart audience, so I thought, at
a minimum, you could offer up your thoughts on what
might be happening to the car while we cover the
major news items of the of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Or it may just provide.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You an opportunity to share some jokes because.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's really stupid.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The phone number is eight four four nine four six
five eight five y five if you'd like to email
Justice at iHeartRadio dot com. I see, Oh, there's a
lot of talk patrolling in already. Hopefully we can solve
this mystery. I do have one more thought that I
want to share regarding Kamakazi dolphins, and then we'll get
into the USS Secretary of State Mark or Rubio saying
(08:36):
the offensive stage of Iran's war is essentially over. So
we got a lot of ground to cover, including boy okay,
I'm looking. I'm looking at over a dozen talkbacks already.
Maybe the answer is embedded in here. We will find
out next here on Twin Cities.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
News Talker, Good morning, and I love your show talking
Guaranteed Humans.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, don't I feel foolish. I have so many talkbacks
and I'm talking ninety seven percent of them are all
saying exactly the same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
It is Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty one
oh three five FM. We are going to go back
to comic Kaze dolphins and Operation Project Freedom and or
on here in just a moment. But as I mentioned,
there was a stupid mystery and it is It is
indeed stupid. Where the license plate on the front of
(09:43):
my car has been randomly getting bent and I don't
know why.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now I know why. Hey, John, former neighbor bike here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Not a chance he went through a car wash yesterday
and didn't notice that the car wash grabbed your license
plate and did that. I used to belong to the
Shine car wash up on Hanson Boulevard there, and I
had to buy a front license plate plane because my
tape got bent over Tia.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's exactly what it is. And the reason why and
the reason.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Why it hadn't happened is because I had switched car washes.
So there's two that I primarily go to. They're both
on sixty five on my drive in. One's closer to Fridley,
the other one's closer to Blaine as I'm heading south
on them on sixty five, so i'd been skipping the
one that was closer in Blaine and going to the
(10:39):
one in Fridley right before the ten. So yesterday, sure enough,
that's where I went.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Was the one I went to before, and that's probably.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
The last time I went to that other one was
the other time when the license plate got bent. I
wouldn't I wouldn't have even considered, but that's a hundred
percent what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So thank you to the many of you. I've got
so many talkbacks.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
So you and you, and and again about ninety seven
and ninety eight percent of you are all mentioning the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Of course, in the.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Midst of all of this, I get this.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
One from the foe of a show.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Hey, more of this airic for BRAINERD watched the little
Pete hagg Sath thing and the well it's a channel Scott.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
So I'm just gonna stop it here because because the
voice change, your foe of the show goes on some ridiculous, insane,
irrelevant rant about Iran and Pete hagg Seth. But thank
you to everybody who left to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
I'm glad I brought it up because I was wrestling
(11:48):
with whether or not I was going to bring it
up on the show, and like I said, I'm certainly
glad that I did. All Right, we did have a
couple other comments that that rolled.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In this one here. I'm from Jen.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Tell me you didn't listen to Friday Show without telling
me you didn't listen to Friday Show.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Hey, good morning, Jen.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't remember if you mentioned that you went or
you were planning I'm going to see the movie Michael.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We went last night and we thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
It, and it looks like it's going to be continued,
so they're going to come out with a second portion
of it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up. It's
a great movie. Have a super day.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
I agree, and I talked about it in the opening
of a Friday show because the wife and I went
to go see it Thursday Thursday last week. So again,
thank you to everybody who left a talk back. Those
are brought to you by Lindahl Realty. This morning, it
was just announced that Kamakazi dolphins will be appearing at
the State Fair this year.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins, but I
can confirm they don't.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
So the recent reports have suggested the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
has explored unconventional tactics to disrupt a shipping in the region,
including the potential use of trained dolphins equipped with explosives.
Iran has previously acquired marine mammals trained by the Soviet
Union with programs that included attaching devices such as mines
(13:13):
or harpoon launchers for naval operations. I suppose that's true,
but for me, I was thinking does anybody for a
moment believe that a murderous terrorist regime like Iran has
revolutionary guards with the patients and the skills to train
a dolphin, like in Russia. I could almost believe it,
(13:37):
Like I could see in Russia wherein they would set
aside individuals who would essentially be the militarized diversion of
what you would see at Sea World, and the employees
there that work with the animals. Iran like not so much.
It seemed to be very volatile. Be like training my
(13:59):
dog to well, I'm training my dog to do anything.
The US claims the offensive stage of the Iran war
is over, emphasizing a defensive stance and urging Iran to negotiate. Iran, however,
is threatening action against ships not to using its approved routes,
and accuses the US of jeopardizing shipping security. There were
(14:20):
some reports this morning that there continues to apparently be
some progress, including a deal that might be struck.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Once again.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I know we've heard this every single week, so we're
still waiting to see what transpires, but apparently there may
be like a one page deal that they may be
able to reach to bring an end to all of
this and ultimately keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
As I ranted about yesterday on the show, President Donald
Trump is showing a tremendous amount of patients when it
(14:47):
comes to getting done what needs to get done in
Iran and not causing any more damage than he has to,
even though he's willing to go and do so.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
With Caroline Levit out on maternity leave, Marco Rubio has
taken over at least temporarily as the White House Press
Secretary and was answering questions regarding Operation Epic Fury. Its
future is it over and a project freedom and run.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And we're very consistent in this message.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
And the operation that has concluded was going to destroy
their navy. They have no navy left. They don't not
a navy. They have small boats in Boston Whaler, but
they don't have a navy left.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They don't have an air force.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I challenge you, when is the last time you read
or heard about an Iranian jet flying anywhere? They don't
have an air force. Their missile launching capability has been
substantially degraded, and their industrial base, their defense industrial base
has been severely severely damaged, so their ability to build
a shield behind which they could hide their nuclear program
was wiped out. That's a very substantial achievement, and that
(15:43):
was the purpose of this operation from day one.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The nuclear material in order for this wara.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Well, that's one of the topics that needs to be discussed.
I don't know about I think you're linking the operation
is over epic fury. As a president notified Congress, we're
done with that stage of it. Okay, We're now onto
this project of freedom. As far as an negotiation is concerned,
I think the President's been clear that part of the
negotiation process has to be not just the enrichment, but
what happens to this material that's buried deep somewhere that
(16:09):
they have still had access to if they ever wanted
to dig it out. That has to be addressed, and
that's being addressed in the negotiation. I'm not going to
go further on what progress has been made on that
topic because I don't want to endanger the negotiations, but
suffice it to say that the President and this entire
team is aware of the centrality of that question.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'll have more to share from the White House Press
briefing yesterday and Marco Rubio's comments. Later on in the hour,
we have yet another example of the violent left inspiring
radicalizing individuals to.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Go and cause damage.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
The arson suspect who caused the largest wildfire in Los
Angeles history, had an obsession with luigim ANGIONI. I'll give
you the details coming up, and we'll get to more
of your comments from the iHeart rate video app next
here on Twin Cities News Talk at AM eleven thirty
and one O three five FM. Press Secretary Marco Rubio,
(17:18):
is there anything that this guy can't do?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I have more audio to share here on Twin City's
News Talk. My name is John Justice. Lad you're with
the show this morning. Thank you for helping me solve
my license plate mystery.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I really am bummed. I didn't think of that.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It seems like such an obvious answer. In hindsight, some things.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Just shouldn't be left time said. Shouldn't have said anything
about the common costume.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I gotta stop that there, Friend of the show, any
better coverage on your phone?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I can't hear you talk back.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
He's afraid that there's going to be a new Dolphin
Lives Matter movement over the kama Kazee dolphins.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So that's what he wanted to to share. Let's go
on here from front of the show.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
JD.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, I don't know what the porpoise was about. All
those kamakaze dolphins. That's a lot of money to spend
on something like that. You think they'd use them for
non destructive means. Sure, but it's a good thing we
had the licensed plate issues solved here. I would have
thought it would have been like a Revenge of the
Fifth or something like that. You know, those evil boogers
trying to get your goat for being a Star Wars person.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Yeah, it's been going on my entire life with a
negativity around Star Wars. Is that a fever pitch? It's
not just Star Wars. By the way, I have a
I have a working theory about this coming up later
on in the in the show that I will that
I will share with you. It centers around the fact
that we've all just become too cynical, you know, those
(18:59):
is they're there is this lack of trust that people
have in the media. But it's not just a lack
of trust in the media. It's a lack of trust
in our politicians. And government and the process in and
of itself. Politics in general, there is a lack of
trust of and because politics is downstream from pop culture,
(19:19):
you see something similar that's been taking place.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Basically anticipation.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Positive anticipation has been destroyed in the wake of instant gratification,
mostly driven by smartphones and the access to information that
we have. And this has manifested itself in really strange ways,
including this new phenomenon that they call blue dot fever.
(19:50):
So blue dot fever is attached to musicians going on
tour and canceling shows because they're not selling tickets, and
so when you look at the map of the show,
it shows a sea of blue dots on the Ticketmaster map,
and it's because people don't want to be disappointed. We're
(20:14):
destroying the American experience experience, and in the process, we
are not taking advantage of potential experiences because we don't
trust that we're going to walk away satisfied. And when
you have so many other means of which to go
(20:35):
and receive that dopamine hit that you used to have
to go search for out in the wild. This is
a byproduct of what happens a cynical society. That will
not allow itself to get excited about anything, and then
takes it a step further and criticizes content even before
(20:56):
it's released, without even seeing or hearing much of the content,
because people are trying to avoid the disappointment that they
just assume is going to happen. So that's a preview.
I'll have more to say on this later on in
the show. Marco Rubio, sitting in for White House Press
(21:16):
Secretary Caroline Levitt as she is on maternity leave, was
doing a fantastic job yesterday.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
All right, can I There's no way I can figure
out who to call on. I'm just gonna like press
right in thet right there you right there, yeah, in
the back road.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Thank you, Thank you, Miss President.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I'll go to you next.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We all right, go ahead, thank you, Secretary going the rights.
Speaker 11 (21:37):
Welcome to the White House.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What's me, sir? Yeah to you, yes, sir, thank you.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
I have two questions on two separate issues that they have.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Two questions for these questions. There's a lot of people
in here, umbrella. All right, well you have to you
can ask me two questions. I'll give you one answer
very much, and I'll pick the one I like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Better, Thank you, mister Secretary.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
The first has to do with the blockade. There are
lawmakers both parties who claim the blockade is an active war.
What do you say to that?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And my second question has.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
To do with the fuel embargo of Cuba. How long,
mister secretary will back last?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Okay? Two things? All right? Good, I'll answer both your
questions because I like the second well through the first
one on the blockade, and so why do we have
a blockade? We have a blockade because they are shut
down the straits. So I don't know which members of
Congress you're talking to, but here's what I would ask them.
I would ask everybody here, very simple. These guys have
shut down the Straits of Hormudes. This is what Iron
is saying. We will shut down the straits. No one
can go through. No country in the world can go
(22:34):
through unless we allow you to go through, and you
have to pay us. But our ships can go through,
meeting the Iranian ships as much as they want. That's crazy.
Who would agree to that? So how are we going
to have a situation where they get to close the
straits to everybody and the only people who are allowed
to go through they are one hundred percent without paying anything.
Are the Iranians If you do that, they'll keep the
straits closed forever. They're trying to make this some new normal. Okay,
(22:55):
under no circumstances can we ever allow them to normalize
the fact that they get to blow up commercial ships
and put mines in the water. So the response to
that is, we're going to blockade your ships. If everyone's
ships are not getting out, your ships are not getting
out either. That's not an active war. That's a defensive measure.
It's a counter to what they have decided to do.
You know what is an active war? Putting mines in
the water. Why don't the members of Congress, whoever it is,
(23:17):
is complaining about it. They should be all over that
these guys put mines in the water. That alone, mining
in the water is illegal period, under any circumstances, and
they've done it. This is crazy stuff. But this is
what they've done on Cuba. Oil blockade on Cuba. There's
no oil blockade on Cuba, per se. Here's what's happening
with Cuba. Okay. Cuba used to get free oil from Venezuela,
(23:38):
used to give them a bunch of free oil. They
would take like sixty percent of that oil and resell
it for cash. They wouldn't even go to benefit the people.
So the only blockade that's happened is the Cubans have decided,
I mean, the Venezuelans have decided, We're not giving you
free oil anymore. And you can only imagine nowadays the
way oil prices are. No one's giving away free oil,
much less to a failed regime. So the problem with
Cuba is worse.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, Yeah, foes.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
In the show, like Eric and others, are just upset
that adults are in charge right now. The best communicator
is the best administration can not be.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Kid transit weirdos.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I appreciate the foes of the show because I know
that I'm hitting the mark regarding the commentary, because typically
that's when the foes of the show leave their talkbacks.
They hear something that upsets them. They hear me or
you make a relevant, rational opinion or point based off
(24:48):
common sense. They get angry because they don't like it,
and then what do they do. They leave a talk
back about something completely separate that they feel like they
can argue because they can't argue against the good point
that either you or I made so from that regard,
I absolutely appreciate comments from foes of the show, and
(25:08):
then we have friends of the show like Scott good.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Mind, John Devon.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
We should be all very saddened to know that fifty
percent of our country i e.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The left of.
Speaker 10 (25:17):
Center are pulling for Iran, and even more sad is
the fact that Europe et cetera. They're also pulling for
Iran and hoping that Trump falls on his face. They
would rather have Iran with a nuclear weapon that they
would use at any given time, because they are.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
The true fascist, which is why everybody needs to be
less concerned with attempting to change how half the country
or half the planet feels because you're not changing them.
You need to increase the number of individuals who do
(25:58):
agree with you. So do embrace American exceptionalism, meritocracy, what
this country stands for, the rule of law, holding our
enemies accountable overseas. You need to make sure that you
support those individuals who typically don't get involved, so that
they get involved when it matters, and that's during elections.
(26:21):
And for the rest of us that pay attention on
a daily basis, we'll continue to call out the lunacy.
And that's what I'm going to be doing on today's
show quite a bit as I do every day here
on Twin Cities News Talk. But also understand, you're not
changing the opposition. Call it out, mock them, makes us
all feel better, But just know that those people they're
(26:42):
not changing anytime soon. Maybe some of them do, but
they have to come to that on their own accord.
That's another thing that I hope when it comes to
foes of the show, that if they listen long enough,
maybe some of this stuff will actually seep in and
they'll realize when they look in the mirror just how
wrong they've been all along.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
More from him yesterday during the White House Press briefing,
filling in for Caroline Lovin on maternity leave in the black.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yah, no right there. You both are wearing black. She's closer. No,
you don't have black yet blue on it. I'm colored black,
but I know blue and black right there, Yes, ma'am. No, No,
you the first one I called on. Thank you, Thank you.
This is chaos. Guys, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You've long been a leading voice on human rights in China,
so including religious persecution and course organ harvesting.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
So President Trump prepares to me she should pay next week.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Do you expect human rights concerns to be on the table? Well,
we always raise those issues, and they remain through and
I think we've proven in some cases it's most effective
to raise them in the appropriate setting. But we always
raise those issues are important to us, among with others,
of course, but those issues remain prominent in our view
and in our conversation about these things, and we'll continue
to raise them in the appropriate forums.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
And this was probably the least talked about moment because
that was just funny in the way that he was
handling the press there. You know, the Q and A
was relevant, but this was probably one of the most
poignant moments. It might be one of the most articulate
responses to a question like this that myself and others
have heard, because I saw similar sentiment on x where
(28:26):
I found this clip.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
For America at a time such as this, my hope
for America and the same deal with that. Yeah, look,
I mean my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where
anyone from anywhere can achieve anything where you're not limited
by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of
your skin, by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place
(28:48):
where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your
full potential. I think that should be the goal of
every country in the world. Frankly, but I think in
the US we're not perfect. Our history is not one
of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history,
and ours is the story of perpetual improvement. Each generation
has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer,
and that is our goal as well. But it is
(29:09):
a unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon
this two hundred and fifty year anniversary, I think we
have a lot to learn and be.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Proud of in our history.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each
generation has done its part to bring us closer to
fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had
upon its founding.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Oh hell yeah, the level of authenticity in that clip
cannot be ignored. I mean, Marco Rubio didn't miss a beat.
I heard somebody else make a comment earlier this morning
listening to a podcast, and I forget who the person's
(29:46):
name was, but they essentially said that right now, whether
we realize it or not, we're in the middle of
a revolution. Things are dramatically changing out from under our feet.
You look at the Supreme Court fights, you look at
the redistricting that's taking place. What we're discussing here the
operations in Iran. But it's commentary like that from Marco
(30:08):
Rubio why I have confidence that the individuals in charge
at the White House are doing what they believe is
in the best interest for the country.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Now whether or not it is remains to be seen.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
But just because you question that doesn't mean you can't
be optimistic that it's going to work out. Not everything
is going to be perfect. I'm sure that Operation Epic
they in the war in Iran hasn't played out exactly
the way that Trump and the administration had hoped, but
that's a given when you are conducting war. It still
(30:44):
was the right thing to go into Iran and to
do what it is that we're doing right now. And
as I've keep saying, Trump has shown a tremendous amount
of restraint in giving Iran an opportunity to do the
right thing before we essentially just wipe the regime off
the face of the planet, which they are absolutely deserving of.
(31:05):
But the fact that you have Secretary of warpete Hegseth,
General Raisin Kane, Marco Rubio acting like people addressing these
issues with genuine authenticity, having moments of levity like Kamakazi dolphins,
(31:27):
while not will while not going and missing the severity
of what is taking place. I mean, that's that's real.
It's again, I'm gonna use the word it's authentic. This
is what you don't get on the left. For Democrats,
it's all about gaming the system, perpetuating the propaganda, shielding
(31:51):
themselves from any criticism even though they're the.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Ones responsible for it.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I have further details regarding the movement around the DHS
Commissioner Temporary Commissioner Sharen Gandhi demonstrating the corruption of Governor
Tim Walls and how inauthentic and the lack of anything
genuine coming from them with their insatiable lust for power
(32:17):
and legacy. You ask a question like what Marco Rubio
was asked right there to any Democrat today, there is
no way on God's green Earth. They give an answer
as succinct, as quickly and as accurate as Marco Rubio
just did. Why because immediately all of the red flags
(32:41):
start going off as the synapses in their brain begin
to fire. Because they don't want to say the wrong thing,
because they don't want to be genuine and authentic, because
if they were, they would tell you how much they
hate their own base and this country, and that their
only goal is to continue to achieve power so that
they could rule over their base of voters while they
(33:03):
get richer and gain even more power. Let's go back
to the iHeartRadio app. Your Talkback's brought to you by
Lyndall Realty Bob from Lake Elmo, Hey.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
As far as pose of the show go, I hope
they realize how good a deal they have. Other times
during the day, I'll listen to NPR, I call NPR
to give them feedback. I end up leaving a message.
I have never gotten a callback and my voice has
never been on NPR. What a great format you have
for foes of the show to at least be heard.
(33:36):
Doesn't happen On the other side, That a great day and.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
All that I wish from foes of the show.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
And I've mentioned this, I would play their commentary more
often if they would actually stay on topic and share
something that's relevant to the conversation, relevant to what I'm
talking about, to the stories that we're sharing. But ninety
percent of the time when they go and leave a talkback,
it's on some other time.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Pick altogether. And I mentioned a moment ago why that was.
Speaker 11 (34:03):
Man hearing that last answer from Marco Rubio, I really
wish I could get kareem John Pierre's answer.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
To that one, right.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, Well, Kellen WAPs you with the confidence way hair
like come up in on a bad hair day, behind
the make up painted on her eyes for resting bench faces.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
Don't even drive. She's got the mic in the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Room, goes hil All Hail the Queen of.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Kevin ol Hill, not the briding boat.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
But she's black and queer dropped in the that's like
a white tail me. She's like for a living, but
she knew who the shows.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
She could have dropped a diamond, a telephone bo fans
on vacation brought a smiles on Cube for Korea was
a job with wokiyon the Feutre.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Thank you to the talkback. It's been a while since
I've played that one. The suspect accused of starting one
of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles history fixated on
Luigi mangione weeks before starting the blaze out of resentment
for the rich, according to federal prosecutors. Add this to
(35:31):
the list of radicalized Democrats. Federal prosecutors said in a
trial memorandum at the thirty year old at Jonathan Render
Catched demonstrated in obsession with Mangioni in the days before
he started the Lachman and Palisades fire on January first.
Mangioni has developed a cult following among the left after
(35:54):
he was arrested for gunning down Brian Thompson, the CEO
of United Healthcare. The memo added the Uber passengers who
rode with him on December thirty first and January first
recounted him being angry, intense, and driving erratically and ranting
about being ticked off at the world and Luigi manni Emanngioni,
capitalism and vigilanteism. Prosecutors described him as becoming fixated on
(36:15):
Mangioni in the weeks leading up to the fire, saying
that his Internet search revealed queries like free Luigi Mangioni,
Let's take down all billionaires and read it. Let's kill
all billionaires render Catched has been charged with destroying property
by fire, arson, affecting property used in interstate commerce, and
setting a timber fire. Facing over forty years in prison.
(36:39):
He has pleaded not guilty. And again just add this
to the list and we've got a there is a
systemic problem going on with our justice system right now.
So the grand jury that indicted Cole Thomas Allen, who's
also on the list with this arson suspect and the
Palisades fire in Los Angeles, right this was the individual
(36:59):
destroy the White House correspondence dinner. So the attempted assassination
of Trump number four fired a weapon injuring a Secret
Service agent one floor above the ballroom with the government
officials and reporters, Allan fired one of his weapons. Early
reports suggests the agent might have been hit by friendly fire,
but US Attorney janem Piro later confirmed the officer was
(37:22):
shot by the gunman. It was definitely a bullet. He
was definitely his bullet that hit the Secret Service agent.
The indictment in the new charges come as the federal magistrate.
Judge expressed a deep sympathy for the suspect. And this
is what we'll get into coming up in just a
moment ahead of my conversation with Representative Tom Emmer. The
judge who apologized to this lunatic gunman accused of trying
(37:45):
to assassinate President Donald Trump. Released a man who attacked
the member of Congress and devoted his career to diversity,
equity and inclusion efforts. Now he's facing public backlash. Ye,
Judge apologize to the wanna be Trump assassin as a
radical leftist record And this is me sitting here not
(38:08):
shocked in the slightest. I will share with you the
details coming up an hour two. We'll get some more
of your comments from the iHeartRadio app next here on
Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh
three five FM.
Have you heard the news as Project Freedom commenced, rand
has attacked US horses more than ten times.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
As for the ceasefires, it's not.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Over residential fitness test award and we're bringing it back.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Checking often for the latest time.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins, but I
can confirm they don't. Ultimately, any follow on effort, if
there are minds identified, would be something that are some
of our units could undertake or the world could undertake.
But right now we know we have a lane of
safe passage that commercial shipping can can flow through.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh yeah, crazy, am i? Or am I so sane
that you just blew your mind?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Is impossible?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Or is it so possible that.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Your head is spinning like a top.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
It can't be or is your entire world just crashing down?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I did not have Kamakazie dolphins on my bingo card yesterday.
This was during the Q and A portion We aired
the first part of the opening statements from Secretary of
War and friend of the show Pete Hegseth yesterday giving
(01:20):
an update on Operation Epic Fury, which is now turning
into something else, Project Freedom. But during the Q and
a portion of that press conference yesterday with General Raisin
Kine the National Security briefing. It took a turn when
(01:45):
the Daily Wires White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olahan pressed
hag Seth on reports of kamakaze dolphins. Here's actually the
entirety of that clip here on Twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
My name is John Justin, it's good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
You said that the attacks by Iran so far are
below the threshold of restarting major combat operations.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What is that threshold?
Speaker 7 (02:09):
And then for Secretary of Hugsath, are there still concerns
about minds in the strait and can you kind of
clarify these reports of kamakazi dolphins that we've heard about.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
I haven't heard the Kamakasi dolphins thing. Starts with laser
beings straight. The threshold of restarting is a political decision
above my pay grade. What I'll say is it's more
low harassing fire. Right now, it feels like Iron is
grasping its straws to try to do something across the
southern flank. To your question, David, their command and control
(02:41):
structure remains very fractured, and I think they're struggling to
maintain control down Achalon at the edge, but we're still
it's still pretty low level kinetics at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I can't confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins,
but I can confirm they don't.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Intimately what a world man and I get paid to
talk about it. Devin is in the studio next door
this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Good morning to him.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
On the show today, We've got Representative Tom Memory, He'll
be joining us at right around seven to twenty, and
then we have gubernatorial candidates and a congressman in Wisconsin,
Tom Tiffany. It's been a while since we've talked with Tom.
We have two Tom's dueling Tom's Tom's Times two. He'll
be on at seven thirty and Liz callin from Alphin News.
(03:34):
We'll be joining us right around eight thirty this morning.
I have more to share with you regarding Operation what
am I calling an ikey forgetting it hasn't stuck in
Project Freedom, Project Freedom, whether or not the military aspect
of Epic Fury is over. Marco Rubio took over as
(03:55):
the White House Press Secretary. They're going to rotate some
people through because Caroline it had a child and she
is out on maternity leave or paid family medically.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know if they have that to have that there.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
So I have audio of a Marco Rubio because he
had a fantastic job yesterday. It's hysterical. I'll share that
with you coming up in just a few minutes. I
want to start here though, on a personal matter. I
have the stupidest mystery that I cannot solve. Are you
ready for this? It's really it's it's just dumb and
I can't figure it out. So about two months ago,
(04:28):
months and a half ago, I went out into the
parking lot as I was leaving and Monty, my car
which I purchased, you know, it was like September October
last year, you know, was there waiting for me as
it is every day. And I back into the parking
stall because I'm a crazy person. Now, that's tight confines
in the parking garage, and so there's nobody there in
(04:49):
the morning when I get in, apart from Chris Carr
from K one O two. So you know, I've got
my choice of spots, and so it's really easy to
back in. Who's no other cars around, and it's easy
to pull out and it's a really dangerous parking lot.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So I drive.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
As I'm walking up to the car, I noticed that
the front license plate on the car was bent. So
I don't have a license plate plate frame on the front.
I have one on the back, but I don't have
one on the front of Monty And so it's just
the you know, it's the mount and then there's the
two bolts right and then the plate. So the right
(05:22):
side of the license plate was bent like right at
the bolt, as if somebody had walked over, grabbed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It and pulled it and bent it.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Not only was it bent, but it had like a
little tear on it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So I'm really strange. I'm like, okay, that's odd.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Now I examined the whole rest of the car. There's
no other damage, and so I bring that up because
I thought, well, is you know, the car's kind of long,
it's not really stick it out. I mean, I back
it all the way up to the wall for crying
out loud. So maybe somebody came by and like snagged
it with their car.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you're only looking.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
At like an inch and a half thickness when you
measure the base attached to the bumper and the plate,
So you would think that, I mean, that would have
that would have had to have been just perfect for
another car to just snag the plate and bend it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So I was saying, all right, weird.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
You know, and I bend it back into shape, and
I thought maybe at home something was happening, because we
kind of we fit all of our cars into the garage.
It's one of the most successful things I've done as
a father is that we The person that owned the
home before us had done a lot of renovations and
they extended the garage, and so I was able to
fit all four of our cars within our garage.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's probably a fire hazard. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
If the fire department ever drove by and saw all
four vehicles stacked on each other in the garage, he
probably would go and lock me up. So I thought, well,
maybe it's happening in the garage. But there was nothing
in the garage. Yesterday, same thing. I went out to
the car again. The license plate was bent again, exactly
the same spot.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
The only thing that I can guess is that somebody
is doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But what a silly thing to do, like.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
In my mind, I go, Okay, somebody doing it to
get a rise out of me. They don't like me,
and then they're wanting me to do exactly what I'm
doing now on the show. But then I'm thinking, okay,
that's really I mean, that's really out. If I'm actually
correct on that, then hat tip to that person for
successfully pulling off this magic trick. Because I have no
explanation whatsoever as to why my license plate keeps getting bent.
(07:40):
So my next move is I'm going to get a
license plate cover, a generical one for the front of
the car in a frame to put on there to
see what transpires from there.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I wrestled with whether and I was going to
share it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But you're a very smart audience, so I thought, at
a minimum, you could offer up your thoughts on what
might be happening to the car while we cover the
major news items of the of the day.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Or it may just provide.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You an opportunity to share some jokes because.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's really stupid.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The phone number is eight four four nine four six
five eight five y five if you'd like to email
Justice at iHeartRadio dot com. I see, Oh, there's a
lot of talk patrolling in already. Hopefully we can solve
this mystery. I do have one more thought that I
want to share regarding Kamakazi dolphins, and then we'll get
into the USS Secretary of State Mark or Rubio saying
(08:36):
the offensive stage of Iran's war is essentially over. So
we got a lot of ground to cover, including boy okay,
I'm looking. I'm looking at over a dozen talkbacks already.
Maybe the answer is embedded in here. We will find
out next here on Twin Cities.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
News Talker, Good morning, and I love your show talking
Guaranteed Humans.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, don't I feel foolish. I have so many talkbacks
and I'm talking ninety seven percent of them are all
saying exactly the same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
It is Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty one
oh three five FM. We are going to go back
to comic Kaze dolphins and Operation Project Freedom and or
on here in just a moment. But as I mentioned,
there was a stupid mystery and it is It is
indeed stupid. Where the license plate on the front of
(09:43):
my car has been randomly getting bent and I don't
know why.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now I know why. Hey, John, former neighbor bike here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Not a chance he went through a car wash yesterday
and didn't notice that the car wash grabbed your license
plate and did that. I used to belong to the
Shine car wash up on Hanson Boulevard there, and I
had to buy a front license plate plane because my
tape got bent over Tia.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's exactly what it is. And the reason why and
the reason.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Why it hadn't happened is because I had switched car washes.
So there's two that I primarily go to. They're both
on sixty five on my drive in. One's closer to Fridley,
the other one's closer to Blaine as I'm heading south
on them on sixty five, so i'd been skipping the
one that was closer in Blaine and going to the
(10:39):
one in Fridley right before the ten. So yesterday, sure enough,
that's where I went.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Was the one I went to before, and that's probably.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
The last time I went to that other one was
the other time when the license plate got bent. I
wouldn't I wouldn't have even considered, but that's a hundred
percent what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So thank you to the many of you. I've got
so many talkbacks.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
So you and you, and and again about ninety seven
and ninety eight percent of you are all mentioning the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Of course, in the.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Midst of all of this, I get this.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
One from the foe of a show.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Hey, more of this airic for BRAINERD watched the little
Pete hagg Sath thing and the well it's a channel Scott.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
So I'm just gonna stop it here because because the
voice change, your foe of the show goes on some ridiculous, insane,
irrelevant rant about Iran and Pete hagg Seth. But thank
you to everybody who left to comment. I greatly appreciate it.
I'm glad I brought it up because I was wrestling
(11:48):
with whether or not I was going to bring it
up on the show, and like I said, I'm certainly
glad that I did. All Right, we did have a
couple other comments that that rolled.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In this one here. I'm from Jen.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Tell me you didn't listen to Friday Show without telling
me you didn't listen to Friday Show.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Hey, good morning, Jen.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't remember if you mentioned that you went or
you were planning I'm going to see the movie Michael.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We went last night and we thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
It, and it looks like it's going to be continued,
so they're going to come out with a second portion
of it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up. It's
a great movie. Have a super day.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
I agree, and I talked about it in the opening
of a Friday show because the wife and I went
to go see it Thursday Thursday last week. So again,
thank you to everybody who left a talk back. Those
are brought to you by Lindahl Realty. This morning, it
was just announced that Kamakazi dolphins will be appearing at
the State Fair this year.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins, but I
can confirm they don't.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
So the recent reports have suggested the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
has explored unconventional tactics to disrupt a shipping in the region,
including the potential use of trained dolphins equipped with explosives.
Iran has previously acquired marine mammals trained by the Soviet
Union with programs that included attaching devices such as mines
(13:13):
or harpoon launchers for naval operations. I suppose that's true,
but for me, I was thinking does anybody for a
moment believe that a murderous terrorist regime like Iran has
revolutionary guards with the patients and the skills to train
a dolphin, like in Russia. I could almost believe it,
(13:37):
Like I could see in Russia wherein they would set
aside individuals who would essentially be the militarized diversion of
what you would see at Sea World, and the employees
there that work with the animals. Iran like not so much.
It seemed to be very volatile. Be like training my
(13:59):
dog to well, I'm training my dog to do anything.
The US claims the offensive stage of the Iran war
is over, emphasizing a defensive stance and urging Iran to negotiate. Iran, however,
is threatening action against ships not to using its approved routes,
and accuses the US of jeopardizing shipping security. There were
(14:20):
some reports this morning that there continues to apparently be
some progress, including a deal that might be struck.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Once again.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I know we've heard this every single week, so we're
still waiting to see what transpires, but apparently there may
be like a one page deal that they may be
able to reach to bring an end to all of
this and ultimately keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
As I ranted about yesterday on the show, President Donald
Trump is showing a tremendous amount of patients when it
(14:47):
comes to getting done what needs to get done in
Iran and not causing any more damage than he has to,
even though he's willing to go and do so.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
With Caroline Levit out on maternity leave, Marco Rubio has
taken over at least temporarily as the White House Press
Secretary and was answering questions regarding Operation Epic Fury. Its
future is it over and a project freedom and run.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And we're very consistent in this message.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
And the operation that has concluded was going to destroy
their navy. They have no navy left. They don't not
a navy. They have small boats in Boston Whaler, but
they don't have a navy left.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They don't have an air force.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I challenge you, when is the last time you read
or heard about an Iranian jet flying anywhere? They don't
have an air force. Their missile launching capability has been
substantially degraded, and their industrial base, their defense industrial base
has been severely severely damaged, so their ability to build
a shield behind which they could hide their nuclear program
was wiped out. That's a very substantial achievement, and that
(15:43):
was the purpose of this operation from day one.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The nuclear material in order for this wara.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Well, that's one of the topics that needs to be discussed.
I don't know about I think you're linking the operation
is over epic fury. As a president notified Congress, we're
done with that stage of it. Okay, We're now onto
this project of freedom. As far as an negotiation is concerned,
I think the President's been clear that part of the
negotiation process has to be not just the enrichment, but
what happens to this material that's buried deep somewhere that
(16:09):
they have still had access to if they ever wanted
to dig it out. That has to be addressed, and
that's being addressed in the negotiation. I'm not going to
go further on what progress has been made on that
topic because I don't want to endanger the negotiations, but
suffice it to say that the President and this entire
team is aware of the centrality of that question.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'll have more to share from the White House Press
briefing yesterday and Marco Rubio's comments. Later on in the hour,
we have yet another example of the violent left inspiring
radicalizing individuals to.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Go and cause damage.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
The arson suspect who caused the largest wildfire in Los
Angeles history, had an obsession with luigim ANGIONI. I'll give
you the details coming up, and we'll get to more
of your comments from the iHeart rate video app next
here on Twin Cities News Talk at AM eleven thirty
and one O three five FM. Press Secretary Marco Rubio,
(17:18):
is there anything that this guy can't do?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I have more audio to share here on Twin City's
News Talk. My name is John Justice. Lad you're with
the show this morning. Thank you for helping me solve
my license plate mystery.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I really am bummed. I didn't think of that.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It seems like such an obvious answer. In hindsight, some things.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Just shouldn't be left time said. Shouldn't have said anything
about the common costume.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I gotta stop that there, Friend of the show, any
better coverage on your phone?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I can't hear you talk back.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
He's afraid that there's going to be a new Dolphin
Lives Matter movement over the kama Kazee dolphins.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So that's what he wanted to to share. Let's go
on here from front of the show.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
JD.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, I don't know what the porpoise was about. All
those kamakaze dolphins. That's a lot of money to spend
on something like that. You think they'd use them for
non destructive means. Sure, but it's a good thing we
had the licensed plate issues solved here. I would have
thought it would have been like a Revenge of the
Fifth or something like that. You know, those evil boogers
trying to get your goat for being a Star Wars person.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Yeah, it's been going on my entire life with a
negativity around Star Wars. Is that a fever pitch? It's
not just Star Wars. By the way, I have a
I have a working theory about this coming up later
on in the in the show that I will that
I will share with you. It centers around the fact
that we've all just become too cynical, you know, those
(18:59):
is they're there is this lack of trust that people
have in the media. But it's not just a lack
of trust in the media. It's a lack of trust
in our politicians. And government and the process in and
of itself. Politics in general, there is a lack of
trust of and because politics is downstream from pop culture,
(19:19):
you see something similar that's been taking place.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Basically anticipation.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Positive anticipation has been destroyed in the wake of instant gratification,
mostly driven by smartphones and the access to information that
we have. And this has manifested itself in really strange ways,
including this new phenomenon that they call blue dot fever.
(19:50):
So blue dot fever is attached to musicians going on
tour and canceling shows because they're not selling tickets, and
so when you look at the map of the show,
it shows a sea of blue dots on the Ticketmaster map,
and it's because people don't want to be disappointed. We're
(20:14):
destroying the American experience experience, and in the process, we
are not taking advantage of potential experiences because we don't
trust that we're going to walk away satisfied. And when
you have so many other means of which to go
(20:35):
and receive that dopamine hit that you used to have
to go search for out in the wild. This is
a byproduct of what happens a cynical society. That will
not allow itself to get excited about anything, and then
takes it a step further and criticizes content even before
(20:56):
it's released, without even seeing or hearing much of the content,
because people are trying to avoid the disappointment that they
just assume is going to happen. So that's a preview.
I'll have more to say on this later on in
the show. Marco Rubio, sitting in for White House Press
(21:16):
Secretary Caroline Levitt as she is on maternity leave, was
doing a fantastic job yesterday.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
All right, can I There's no way I can figure
out who to call on. I'm just gonna like press
right in thet right there you right there, yeah, in
the back road.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Thank you, Thank you, Miss President.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I'll go to you next.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We all right, go ahead, thank you, Secretary going the rights.
Speaker 11 (21:37):
Welcome to the White House.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What's me, sir? Yeah to you, yes, sir, thank you.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
I have two questions on two separate issues that they have.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Two questions for these questions. There's a lot of people
in here, umbrella. All right, well you have to you
can ask me two questions. I'll give you one answer
very much, and I'll pick the one I like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Better, Thank you, mister Secretary.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
The first has to do with the blockade. There are
lawmakers both parties who claim the blockade is an active war.
What do you say to that?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And my second question has.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
To do with the fuel embargo of Cuba. How long,
mister secretary will back last?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Okay? Two things? All right? Good, I'll answer both your
questions because I like the second well through the first
one on the blockade, and so why do we have
a blockade? We have a blockade because they are shut
down the straits. So I don't know which members of
Congress you're talking to, but here's what I would ask them.
I would ask everybody here, very simple. These guys have
shut down the Straits of Hormudes. This is what Iron
is saying. We will shut down the straits. No one
can go through. No country in the world can go
(22:34):
through unless we allow you to go through, and you
have to pay us. But our ships can go through,
meeting the Iranian ships as much as they want. That's crazy.
Who would agree to that? So how are we going
to have a situation where they get to close the
straits to everybody and the only people who are allowed
to go through they are one hundred percent without paying anything.
Are the Iranians If you do that, they'll keep the
straits closed forever. They're trying to make this some new normal. Okay,
(22:55):
under no circumstances can we ever allow them to normalize
the fact that they get to blow up commercial ships
and put mines in the water. So the response to
that is, we're going to blockade your ships. If everyone's
ships are not getting out, your ships are not getting
out either. That's not an active war. That's a defensive measure.
It's a counter to what they have decided to do.
You know what is an active war? Putting mines in
the water. Why don't the members of Congress, whoever it is,
(23:17):
is complaining about it. They should be all over that
these guys put mines in the water. That alone, mining
in the water is illegal period, under any circumstances, and
they've done it. This is crazy stuff. But this is
what they've done on Cuba. Oil blockade on Cuba. There's
no oil blockade on Cuba, per se. Here's what's happening
with Cuba. Okay. Cuba used to get free oil from Venezuela,
(23:38):
used to give them a bunch of free oil. They
would take like sixty percent of that oil and resell
it for cash. They wouldn't even go to benefit the people.
So the only blockade that's happened is the Cubans have decided,
I mean, the Venezuelans have decided, We're not giving you
free oil anymore. And you can only imagine nowadays the
way oil prices are. No one's giving away free oil,
much less to a failed regime. So the problem with
Cuba is worse.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, Yeah, foes.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
In the show, like Eric and others, are just upset
that adults are in charge right now. The best communicator
is the best administration can not be.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Kid transit weirdos.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I appreciate the foes of the show because I know
that I'm hitting the mark regarding the commentary, because typically
that's when the foes of the show leave their talkbacks.
They hear something that upsets them. They hear me or
you make a relevant, rational opinion or point based off
(24:48):
common sense. They get angry because they don't like it,
and then what do they do. They leave a talk
back about something completely separate that they feel like they
can argue because they can't argue against the good point
that either you or I made so from that regard,
I absolutely appreciate comments from foes of the show, and
(25:08):
then we have friends of the show like Scott good.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Mind, John Devon.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
We should be all very saddened to know that fifty
percent of our country i e.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The left of.
Speaker 10 (25:17):
Center are pulling for Iran, and even more sad is
the fact that Europe et cetera. They're also pulling for
Iran and hoping that Trump falls on his face. They
would rather have Iran with a nuclear weapon that they
would use at any given time, because they are.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
The true fascist, which is why everybody needs to be
less concerned with attempting to change how half the country
or half the planet feels because you're not changing them.
You need to increase the number of individuals who do
(25:58):
agree with you. So do embrace American exceptionalism, meritocracy, what
this country stands for, the rule of law, holding our
enemies accountable overseas. You need to make sure that you
support those individuals who typically don't get involved, so that
they get involved when it matters, and that's during elections.
(26:21):
And for the rest of us that pay attention on
a daily basis, we'll continue to call out the lunacy.
And that's what I'm going to be doing on today's
show quite a bit as I do every day here
on Twin Cities News Talk. But also understand, you're not
changing the opposition. Call it out, mock them, makes us
all feel better, But just know that those people they're
(26:42):
not changing anytime soon. Maybe some of them do, but
they have to come to that on their own accord.
That's another thing that I hope when it comes to
foes of the show, that if they listen long enough,
maybe some of this stuff will actually seep in and
they'll realize when they look in the mirror just how
wrong they've been all along.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
More from him yesterday during the White House Press briefing,
filling in for Caroline Lovin on maternity leave in the black.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yah, no right there. You both are wearing black. She's closer. No,
you don't have black yet blue on it. I'm colored black,
but I know blue and black right there, Yes, ma'am. No, No,
you the first one I called on. Thank you, Thank you.
This is chaos. Guys, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You've long been a leading voice on human rights in China,
so including religious persecution and course organ harvesting.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
So President Trump prepares to me she should pay next week.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Do you expect human rights concerns to be on the table? Well,
we always raise those issues, and they remain through and
I think we've proven in some cases it's most effective
to raise them in the appropriate setting. But we always
raise those issues are important to us, among with others,
of course, but those issues remain prominent in our view
and in our conversation about these things, and we'll continue
to raise them in the appropriate forums.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
And this was probably the least talked about moment because
that was just funny in the way that he was
handling the press there. You know, the Q and A
was relevant, but this was probably one of the most
poignant moments. It might be one of the most articulate
responses to a question like this that myself and others
have heard, because I saw similar sentiment on x where
(28:26):
I found this clip.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
For America at a time such as this, my hope
for America and the same deal with that. Yeah, look,
I mean my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where
anyone from anywhere can achieve anything where you're not limited
by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of
your skin, by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place
(28:48):
where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your
full potential. I think that should be the goal of
every country in the world. Frankly, but I think in
the US we're not perfect. Our history is not one
of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history,
and ours is the story of perpetual improvement. Each generation
has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer,
and that is our goal as well. But it is
(29:09):
a unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon
this two hundred and fifty year anniversary, I think we
have a lot to learn and be.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Proud of in our history.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each
generation has done its part to bring us closer to
fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had
upon its founding.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Oh hell yeah, the level of authenticity in that clip
cannot be ignored. I mean, Marco Rubio didn't miss a beat.
I heard somebody else make a comment earlier this morning
listening to a podcast, and I forget who the person's
(29:46):
name was, but they essentially said that right now, whether
we realize it or not, we're in the middle of
a revolution. Things are dramatically changing out from under our feet.
You look at the Supreme Court fights, you look at
the redistricting that's taking place. What we're discussing here the
operations in Iran. But it's commentary like that from Marco
(30:08):
Rubio why I have confidence that the individuals in charge
at the White House are doing what they believe is
in the best interest for the country.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Now whether or not it is remains to be seen.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
But just because you question that doesn't mean you can't
be optimistic that it's going to work out. Not everything
is going to be perfect. I'm sure that Operation Epic
they in the war in Iran hasn't played out exactly
the way that Trump and the administration had hoped, but
that's a given when you are conducting war. It still
(30:44):
was the right thing to go into Iran and to
do what it is that we're doing right now. And
as I've keep saying, Trump has shown a tremendous amount
of restraint in giving Iran an opportunity to do the
right thing before we essentially just wipe the regime off
the face of the planet, which they are absolutely deserving of.
(31:05):
But the fact that you have Secretary of warpete Hegseth,
General Raisin Kane, Marco Rubio acting like people addressing these
issues with genuine authenticity, having moments of levity like Kamakazi dolphins,
(31:27):
while not will while not going and missing the severity
of what is taking place. I mean, that's that's real.
It's again, I'm gonna use the word it's authentic. This
is what you don't get on the left. For Democrats,
it's all about gaming the system, perpetuating the propaganda, shielding
(31:51):
themselves from any criticism even though they're the.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Ones responsible for it.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I have further details regarding the movement around the DHS
Commissioner Temporary Commissioner Sharen Gandhi demonstrating the corruption of Governor
Tim Walls and how inauthentic and the lack of anything
genuine coming from them with their insatiable lust for power
(32:17):
and legacy. You ask a question like what Marco Rubio
was asked right there to any Democrat today, there is
no way on God's green Earth. They give an answer
as succinct, as quickly and as accurate as Marco Rubio
just did. Why because immediately all of the red flags
(32:41):
start going off as the synapses in their brain begin
to fire. Because they don't want to say the wrong thing,
because they don't want to be genuine and authentic, because
if they were, they would tell you how much they
hate their own base and this country, and that their
only goal is to continue to achieve power so that
they could rule over their base of voters while they
(33:03):
get richer and gain even more power. Let's go back
to the iHeartRadio app. Your Talkback's brought to you by
Lyndall Realty Bob from Lake Elmo, Hey.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
As far as pose of the show go, I hope
they realize how good a deal they have. Other times
during the day, I'll listen to NPR, I call NPR
to give them feedback. I end up leaving a message.
I have never gotten a callback and my voice has
never been on NPR. What a great format you have
for foes of the show to at least be heard.
(33:36):
Doesn't happen On the other side, That a great day and.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
All that I wish from foes of the show.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
And I've mentioned this, I would play their commentary more
often if they would actually stay on topic and share
something that's relevant to the conversation, relevant to what I'm
talking about, to the stories that we're sharing. But ninety
percent of the time when they go and leave a talkback,
it's on some other time.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Pick altogether. And I mentioned a moment ago why that was.
Speaker 11 (34:03):
Man hearing that last answer from Marco Rubio, I really
wish I could get kareem John Pierre's answer.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
To that one, right.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, Well, Kellen WAPs you with the confidence way hair
like come up in on a bad hair day, behind
the make up painted on her eyes for resting bench faces.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
Don't even drive. She's got the mic in the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Room, goes hil All Hail the Queen of.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Kevin ol Hill, not the briding boat.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
But she's black and queer dropped in the that's like
a white tail me. She's like for a living, but
she knew who the shows.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
She could have dropped a diamond, a telephone bo fans
on vacation brought a smiles on Cube for Korea was
a job with wokiyon the Feutre.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Thank you to the talkback. It's been a while since
I've played that one. The suspect accused of starting one
of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles history fixated on
Luigi mangione weeks before starting the blaze out of resentment
for the rich, according to federal prosecutors. Add this to
(35:31):
the list of radicalized Democrats. Federal prosecutors said in a
trial memorandum at the thirty year old at Jonathan Render
Catched demonstrated in obsession with Mangioni in the days before
he started the Lachman and Palisades fire on January first.
Mangioni has developed a cult following among the left after
(35:54):
he was arrested for gunning down Brian Thompson, the CEO
of United Healthcare. The memo added the Uber passengers who
rode with him on December thirty first and January first
recounted him being angry, intense, and driving erratically and ranting
about being ticked off at the world and Luigi manni Emanngioni,
capitalism and vigilanteism. Prosecutors described him as becoming fixated on
(36:15):
Mangioni in the weeks leading up to the fire, saying
that his Internet search revealed queries like free Luigi Mangioni,
Let's take down all billionaires and read it. Let's kill
all billionaires render Catched has been charged with destroying property
by fire, arson, affecting property used in interstate commerce, and
setting a timber fire. Facing over forty years in prison.
(36:39):
He has pleaded not guilty. And again just add this
to the list and we've got a there is a
systemic problem going on with our justice system right now.
So the grand jury that indicted Cole Thomas Allen, who's
also on the list with this arson suspect and the
Palisades fire in Los Angeles, right this was the individual
(36:59):
destroy the White House correspondence dinner. So the attempted assassination
of Trump number four fired a weapon injuring a Secret
Service agent one floor above the ballroom with the government
officials and reporters, Allan fired one of his weapons. Early
reports suggests the agent might have been hit by friendly fire,
but US Attorney janem Piro later confirmed the officer was
(37:22):
shot by the gunman. It was definitely a bullet. He
was definitely his bullet that hit the Secret Service agent.
The indictment in the new charges come as the federal magistrate.
Judge expressed a deep sympathy for the suspect. And this
is what we'll get into coming up in just a
moment ahead of my conversation with Representative Tom Emmer. The
judge who apologized to this lunatic gunman accused of trying
(37:45):
to assassinate President Donald Trump. Released a man who attacked
the member of Congress and devoted his career to diversity,
equity and inclusion efforts. Now he's facing public backlash. Ye,
Judge apologize to the wanna be Trump assassin as a
radical leftist record And this is me sitting here not
(38:08):
shocked in the slightest. I will share with you the
details coming up an hour two. We'll get some more
of your comments from the iHeartRadio app next here on
Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh
three five FM.
