Speaker 1 (00:01):
Energy, energy, energy, I hate space.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We come to this place for magic, to cry, to care,
because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling
we get and we go somewhere we've never been before.
Not just entertained, but somehow we born please me together
(00:38):
or sound that I can feel, somehow heartbreak feels good
in a place like this. Our heroes feel like the
best part of us, and stories feel perfect and powerful
because here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They are leaes getstuff. What's called a trump strange problem?
You heard about that problem? I do take it personally.
(01:15):
They knew and they let it happen. Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He speaks through static waves, star a voice that thingers
when night is gone? Twin Cities, The Stories Fun, John
Justice Rides the Rise, Sam.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Lasting stop or Strange scheme lifting?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What are you doing on CRISI score the same when
Shad spin off Rand White Martin Minnesota, Naga Medium. So
(02:09):
remember how the Louver got robbed? I forgot about that.
Good morning, Sam, Good morning, Yes, I remember? So they
caught the perpetrators, yes, which I actually found quite surprising,
was very unmovie esque, like that should have drug out longer.
I was really looking forward to the writing of the
(02:32):
screenplay and the Netflix film, which may still happen, detailing
this incredibly brazen theft of one of the planet's most
famous museums. The Louver director had offered to resign in
the wake of all of this. We highlighted it on
(02:53):
the show because you know, you don't hear a lot
of accountability coming from anybody anymore. Now, that's that's that's good,
you know, And those higher up in charge of the
Loover we're like, no, no, no, you know you need
is you need to stay, but you know, way to
go in stepping up and offering your resignation. I'm not
(03:16):
so sure that they shouldn't resign Based off of this
update from Newsmax, Okay, the password for the Louver Museum's
surveillance system was simply Louver. Come on l o U
(03:39):
v r E. It was just the name of the
with the time of the one hundred and two million
dollars jewel hest that took place last last because of
course it was right. I mean, I guess maybe you think,
what are the odds that somebody is going to go
and attempt to do such a thing in which case,
(04:00):
but I mean it's twenty twenty five, who hasn't learned
right to make a complicated password.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I wonder if the IT person was just like, well,
our Wi Fi password is louve. It's easy to remember.
Let's just set everything else.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
We'll make it consistent across the board. It is. My
wife's not up yet, so I can go here. If
she were, I probably wouldn't tell the story. But in
our household, like Melinda is so conscientious of passwords, like
we won't even say I'm out loud. She has a
master list that are mostly all handwritten out okay on paper,
(04:42):
of our of our passwords. As a matter of fact,
we had to go and update the the Apple password recently.
And if you if you are an Apple product family,
you know that when you go and update that password
like it is, I mean, it takes it takes you
a week to run through the resetting of all of
(05:04):
the different devices, the notifications that are sent to somebody
else's phone where you had to put in whatever their
log in numbers are for the password. It is a hassle.
So we had to do this recently. But Melinda kept saying,
don't say it out loud. Phones are listening because they
(05:26):
are I mean, I'm not giving her too hard. The
phones are listening, right, but don't say it out loud.
So we had it written. We have a dry erase
board in the kitchen, and we had it written on
the dry erase board. This was a couple weeks a
couple of weeks back, and at one point Kyle had said,
you know, can we can we get rid of that
off the dry erase board. He was just tired of
looking at it, and he likes things to be very succinct.
(05:48):
I'm like, sure, without fail. Within three days, Melinda had
to go and implement, had to go and input the
Apple ID password and couldn't remember.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
What it was.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And I had failed to go and right right right,
So we absolutely we actually did end up figuring out
it was what I had assumed. I knew what it,
remembered what it was, and then I went and actually
typed it in and it ended up working. It was
an issue of one of the letters having to be
having to be capitalized, so fascinating to talk to is
(06:24):
what you're gonna have? Yeah, that's exactly exactly what it was.
I'm like, I'm ninety nine present, sure that's what the
password is? Is that working for me. Maybe you come
and put it in and now you know, you know,
now there you go. Now it's now, it's working. It
is a Freedom Friday here on Twin Cities News Talk
AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Oh
if you're not online on x right now, you are
(06:46):
missing out with the Sydney Sweeney memes. Right now, we're
gonna get you up to speed on this. She sat
down for an interview with GQ and the smug liberal
woman in this GQ inn you thought that she had
cornered Sidney Sweeney over the American Eagles ad controversy and
asking me heard this question and Sidney Sweeney just was
(07:09):
not even having it. It's fantastic we have the audio
to share. We're going to talk a lot about snap
and the shutdown, including I might be coming around once again.
I know we've been talking about it this week, and
when our guests join us in studio will dive into
further details. But I may be coming around on nuking
the filibuster. I've spent a lot of time over the
(07:31):
course of the past twenty four hours listening to various commentary,
hearing from the President and the arguments, both pro and con,
and I'm starting to lean into no, maybe Trump is
absolutely right and we should get rid of this. So
we'll talk about that. We have in studio this morning,
the Salt and Peppa of Minnesota Conservative Podcasting. That would
(07:53):
be Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating will be joining us
in studio right around seven o'clock this morning from Center
of the American Experiment. Ak Wellmara will be on joining
us right around seven thirty and then at eight o'clock
this morning. Incredibly honored to be talking with a gold
Star father, Darren Hoover, whose son was killed at Abby Gate.
(08:13):
He's going to be in town for a couple of
different events, but he has been speaking to the media
about the importance of remembering those that we lost in
that horrific attack in Afghanistan, the horrific situation that occurred
in Afghanistan, and also there's a foundation in his son's
name that we will talk to him about coming up
at eight o'clock, and of course we will hear from
(08:35):
you and the iHeartRadio app this morning. You can also
email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com. We have some
of those to share your on and off topic comments
from the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl Realty.
We'll get to those next, and I'll share with you
the a portion of this interview with Sidney Sweeney where
she breaks her silence over this American Eagle ad controversy
(08:57):
here on Twin City's News Talk from the sixty five
one Carpet, Next Day Install Studios.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Good morning, and I love your show.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Thanks Trump, Good Friday, John and everybody else have to

Freedom Friday, John?
Speaker 8 (09:36):

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Song is a banger. I want the whole thing?
Speaker 9 (09:39):
How do I get it?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
And look on Journeys and the Stars see copen scars
with every wood world say night, Justice rights, Causmi, same
(10:03):
goods through noise, Big Nights, the fuss.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Stream star streams. Any opportunity I can take to play
the second chorus, and I'm gonna regret saying this, but
(10:38):
when any time somebody asks, I let them know. If
you would like a copy of that, you can email
me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com and I am happy
to go and send along the MP three Twin City's
news talk on a Freedom Friday them eleven thirty one
to three five FM from the sixty five to one
carpet plus home of the next day. In all studios,
(11:00):
you're on and off topic comments all morning long. We
have our guests Grace and Catherine from American Experiment joining
us at the top of the hour. Ak Kamara right
around seven point thirty this morning, and of course you're
on and off topic comments all morning long. We'll get
to Sydney Sweeney here in just a moment.
Speaker 10 (11:17):
Hey, John Brandon, Cottage Girl, Happy Freedom Friday. Just wanted
to remind everyone be safe this weekend during the deer
hunting rifle opener, and I hope everyone gets what they're
looking for. I'm still working online.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Thank you Brandon, appreciate the talk back. Let's go here
on a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 12 (11:38):
I got a question for you, John Justice. Ye put
this on the edito out of all three of your
producers are all conservative or are they alluded to liberals
or are they somewhere in between?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I do not know, and I do not care. It's
actually really refreshing because, first off, anybody and this has
been like it's been like this for me, at least
my attitude about issues like this throughout my entire talk
radio career. When I was doing rock radio, it didn't
it didn't matter. But anybody who was producing or was
(12:21):
running the board or filling in, listen, if you didn't
do your homework prior to joining this show and didn't
know what to expect, it's it's partly on you. At
the same time, for me, it's a matter of knowing
the roles of those that work on the show and
(12:42):
just how we treat each other's as personalities, you know,
how we should be in real life, where ultimately, if
our politics don't matter in terms of the job that
we are doing, then there's no real reason to be
going and discussing them. And I would hope that in
so far it's been the case that anybody working on
this show ends up judging or having an opinion about
me because how of how I treat them, and less
(13:03):
about what I end up saying on the air. The
only time I've told this story before, but cracked me up.
There was a guy that I worked with for a
long period of time, you know, because I was in
Tucson for for nine years and I had worked he'd
been my producer and board up for it was a
It was a couple of those years, real quiet, reserve
(13:24):
dude would laugh at what I said on the air.
Got along just fine. And it wasn't until his last
day when when we were basically you know, party ways
is saying goodbye. He'd gone and gotten another job and
he'd set up Frodd. He's like, I pretty much disagreed
with everything that you said on the air, but I
really enjoyed working with you. And I was like, you
(13:44):
know what, man, I had absolutely no clue whatsoever, and
you know, good on, good on you. So there we go.
I did ask Sam if he was okay with me
asking that question on the air, because this is how
I roll. I try to be respectful.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
By the way, Brandon snuck in a third, did you
hear that I did? I was very pleased about that.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I didn't preview it because I know Brandon's talk back
to the audio is usually pretty clean, and so when
I heard it in the background. I was, I was,
I was very happy about Hell yeah, all right, let's
go here. Nearly four months after Sidney Sweeney's American The
Eagle Jeans ad made headlines, the Euphoria actress responded to
(14:25):
the good Genes controversy. You have to watch the video
of this. It's already become a meme. It is. I've
actually made one that put it up on x if
you follow me on j On John Justice should go
and h and check it out. But in this clip,
the interviewer tried to set this clever trap for Sweeney, right,
(14:50):
kind of framing it as a favor at Sidney Sweeney
just effortlessly swerved out of it. I mean it, and
a lot of people are giving Sidney Sweeney class or
I'm excuse me, not class. She doesn't have a lot
of class, but they're giving her a lot of credit here.
And it's not to say she doesn't deserve credit for this,
(15:12):
but it was really an instinctive and honest response. I mean,
I think most people like I try to put myself
in the similar situation. I tried to place myself in
Sidney Sweeney's spot in this interview and I thought to myself, Yeah,
that's how I would have reacted, just like, yeah, no,
I'm not gonna take the bait on this. Ultimately, it's
(15:34):
none of your business. So online it's usually just the
shorter clip of the question about the dual meaning of
jeans and jens and how she feels. I'm gonna play
for you the entirety of this moment, because again it's
clear that the woman, the GQ interviewer in this case,
(15:57):
either subconsciously or intentionally, was sort of setting Sweeney up
before she basically handed her, you know, an opportunity if
she wanted to go and apologize. So listen to this
and then we'll talk about it coming up in just
a few minutes here on Twin Cities News Talk and
get to more of your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app
(16:17):
on a Freedom Friday. I'm literally in jeens, little two shirt,
like every day of my life.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Jeans are uncontroversial. Genes are awesome. You look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway. I mean, the President tweeted
about the genes AD or trade social about the genes
AD and that just seems to me like a very
crazy moment for anyone, And I wondered.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What that was like.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
It was surreal, It was surreal, and it would be
totally human. I would probably feel like thankful that somebody
had my back in public, you know, and conveniently some
very powerful people had my back in public. And I
wondered if if you felt that way.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I don't think. I don't think that. It's not that feeling, didn't.
I don't have that feeling. But I wasn't thinking of
it like that. So it was interesting here because Sidney Sweeney,
she's not stupid. She sends to what was coming. I mean,
anybody could if you're paying attention, you know. All right,
(17:35):
this is an attempt to lean into this controversy, but
in an uncontroversial way, because this GQ interviewer wants to
get the sound bite, and Sidney Sweeney, to her credit, pauses, waits,
thinks about it, understands what's going on, and chooses her
(17:55):
words very carefully.
Speaker 13 (17:57):
Like of any of it, I kind of just put
my phone away. I was filming every day. I'm filming Euphoreia,
so I'm working like sixteen hour days, and I don't
really bring my phone on set. So I work and
then I go home and I go to sleep, So
I didn't really I don't really see.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
A lot of it.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
You've made a really good case for keeping your thoughts
and your life separate from that work. But the risk
is that you know, there's a chance that somebody will
get some idea about what you think about certain issues
and feel like I don't want.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
See Christie because of that, Like, do you worry about that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
No.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe
specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke
about genetic superiority like that was kind of like the
criticism broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this,
I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk
about that specifically.
Speaker 13 (19:00):
I think that when I I have an issue that
I want to speak about, people here.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Just absolutely brilliant. More coming up on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five Fman.
Speaker 14 (19:17):
Speaking of Sidney Sweeney. About two weeks ago, I went
to screen Unseen at AMC and the surprise movie that
they played was Christy. Sidney Sweeney played the main character.
The main character's name is Christy and she is a
female boxer. I guess it's a true story. She was
(19:40):
amazing Sidney Sweeney and Christy, Thank.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
You, John.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Stop giving that demon bizzong away for free.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Make everybody get their tape recorder out and record it
from the radio like we always had to do back
in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Who has a tape recorder still? I don't even have
one anymore. I mean, you're right, totally used to have
to do.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
But the station I've worked for before I came here, John,
they had not only had cassette players, they had four
track reel to reels in the studio.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And this was a competing sports radio station. We'll just
say that in the Twin Cities market. Yeah, that's just lazy.
I mean, I assume they're using other equipment and they
just hadn't removed the old equipment that has that has
to be or they still actually using it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I mean, they weren't like actively using that, But I
don't know that plays had a lot of old stuff
just around.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
When I started at the first alternative rock station I
worked with worked at as an intern, they were still
using The morning show host that I was interning with
was still using a reel to reel had a razor
blade in studio because you'd have to you'd have to
sync it up and you know, and rotate the reel
back and forth to get the right you know edits
(21:00):
and she would splice it and use little pieces of
tape and put it back together. And they still had
what we used, you know, called carts, which were essentially
the the eight track that you were that you were mentioning.
Speaker 14 (21:10):
It was, it was.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It was really interesting because when I started, it quickly
transitioned afterwards, so I never had I might have worked
a shift or two on the weekends using the reel
to reel, I seem to recall, but I mean it
wasn't anything more than just a just a few months.
So at the same time, I mean, even the computer
(21:32):
system that we use in studio, you know, this is
this is still like MS doss looking it looks so
it looks so archaic, but it's tough to go and
update it because everybody uses it constantly and it's sort
of it almost needs to be more utilitarian in its
in its work. So you know, I'm not going to
give it to myself, but you know what I was
going to play Twin Cities news talk. I am eleven
(21:53):
thirty one oh three five FM. It is a Freedom
Friday broadcasting from the six five to one carpet Next
Day Install studios. A lot of people picking up on
something that didn't immediately click in my mind in this
interview wherein the GQ reporter attempted to go and bait
Sidney Sweeney into responding to the American Eagles at controversy,
(22:19):
and Sweeney didn't take the bait, basically has tried, you know,
stayed politically neutral on it. Let me just play a
portion again, because a lot of you picked up on something,
and I guess I've just become so accustomed to hearing it.
It's now white noise.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Literally m jeans and a T shirt like every day
of my life.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Jeans are uncontroversial, gems are awesome, you look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're going to
answer this, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
I mean, the president on.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
The Sidney Sweeney interview, I couldn't make it past the
Valley Girls speak at the beginning, so I turned an
eye down, but I listened to two year analysis makes sense.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Good morning on Happy Friday to you and all the team.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Why do all those reporters like to talk.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like this and that way they do that at the
end of their interviews make them sound so weird.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Have a great weekend, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Good morning, John, Thanks for putting that clip of Sydney
Sweeney being interviewed.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You're welcome, Scott.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
At first, I had to do a double take because
I thought I was listening to the nineteen eighty three
movie starring Nicholas Cage called Valley Girl.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Fantastic film.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Oh my gosh, gag me with the spoon. My priorities
are kickball, golly golly like like here, the government's shutdown.
We're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and this is
all this country worries about. We are not a serious country.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
No it is.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
It is Freedom Friday. You know, we're lightening things up.
I do have some serious things that we'll talk about
coming up here in a bit. We're gonna do a
deep dive into the filibuster. A lot of people asking,
you know, can you undo it and then put it
back in place? You can, But as you go sort
of down the rabbit hole of the filibuster and look
at history, it becomes incredibly clear that both sides want
(24:12):
to be able to exploit the filibuster because it's it's
a lot more fluid than I had even thought. And
we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Sometimes you won't know when you're talking to a deranged liberal,
but sometimes it'll be completely obvious and the inflection of
their voice when the GQ interviewer says specifically.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to enforce
policy aimed at limiting transgender rights that would restrict to
sex designations on passports to male and female based on
sex assigned app birth. The Justice is granted this emergency
request filed by the administration seeking to reverse the policy
(25:00):
introduced by the Biden administration that allow people to put
X as a gender marker or self select male or female.
Three liberal justices on the conservative majority Court, of course, dissented.
The Trump policy effectively means the transgender people, even those
who have fully transitioned and have medical records to prove it,
would not be able to have gender markers that correspond
(25:22):
with their identities, something we'll talk about on Monday's show
and it's not gained a lot of momentum yet, but
I anticipate over the weekend it will is that apparently
the Supreme Court is poised to take up the issue
of gay marriage, and a lot of analysts are saying
that it seems more likely than not that the Supreme
(25:45):
Court could strike down nationwide gay marriage, much like they
did with abortion, and send it back to the States.
Of course, this would create a massive ripple effect of
criticism and commentary, which could also play in to the
filibuster talk as well. So that is something that we
will be getting into in detail on Monday's show. Again,
(26:08):
it's just being talked about in a few outlets, but
I anticipate over the weekend it's going to grow quite
a bit and we'll spend some time on it on
a Monday Show. All Right. From Newsmax, the Department of
Agricultures said that the beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
program will receive sixty five percent of their normal allotment
for November instead of the previously estimated fifty The department's
(26:30):
Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services disclosed the
new rate earlier this week in a court filing. We
mentioned this briefly yesterday. The shrub administration told a federal
judge that it would tap into more than four billion
in contingency funds to distribute half of November's benefits during
the ongoing government shutdown. Under the revised figures, a family
(26:52):
of four in the contiguous United States will receive approximately
six hundred and forty six dollars in SNAP benefits or
food stands for the month. A federal judge, also in
Rhode Island overnight has essentially ordered a Trump to act
like a king and find money to fully SNAP fund,
beyond what the Trump administration said they were already going
(27:14):
to do. And listen, these are activist judges that are
perpetuating the leftist narrative that this is all Trump's fault.
This is why these judges are doing this. They don't
even know themselves how Trump is supposed to go and
find this money and legally go in fund SNAP without
Congress getting involved. But they simply do not care. They
(27:38):
want to be able to aid the Democrats in perpetuating
this ridiculous nonsense that it's Trump's fault that people aren't
receiving their SNAP benefits, including Governor Tim Wallas, who held
the press conference yesterday and spouted the lie and then
went back to a controversy that actually ended like three
days ago. We'll get to this in just a moment.
(27:58):
Let me share this with you though, as I take
a look at the talkbacks rolling in from the iHeartRadio
app brought to you by Lindahl Realty Kaylee mcanaey on
Fox News talking about the filibuster and who is actually
hurting that's not being talked about as much in this
whole debate.
Speaker 15 (28:16):
Let me make this really simple. No one's winning, not Republicans,
not Democrats. When military members cannot pay their bills, when
air traffic controllers are calling out because they get zeros
on their paycheck, when our safety is at issue in
the side, no one is winning.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
We are all losing.
Speaker 15 (28:30):
And why because Democrats they got a chance to vote
to pay the military. Fine, you don't want to open
up the government, how about pay the military es central workers.
Guess how many Democrats voted to do that? Three John Fetterman,
Rafael Warnack, and John Assoft. Three Democrats voted to pay
the military. Now, John Kennedy says, let's vote to remove
our pay until military members get paid. Can't wait to
see how many Democrats vote on that.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Let me propose a.
Speaker 15 (28:52):
Very simple solution here. Pilibuster not in the constitution, Filibuster
not pass legislatively. Filibuster can be removed for the sole
purpose of spending bills. You can just remove the filibuster
to open the government when military members are hurting, when
we are not safe in the skies, it is time
to nuke the filibuster for spending bills because Democrats are
(29:14):
hurting our country.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Now, as I mentioned, Governor Tim Walls held the press
conference and talking about these issues. Also, he spent the
He spends the first part of this thirty second clip.
I'm talking about Minnesota being a great place to live,
and it is. I'm not saying that, however, the metrics
by which Walls goes and points to these lists that
(29:38):
Minnesota lands on about being the best place to live
for a bunch of various reasons. Basically, these are all
outlets that are that are you know, check marking boxes
relating to progressive policies that have been adopted here by
Democrats that lend themselves to the various cia that they
(30:01):
put forward for us to land on this list. Yeah,
even in these lists that taut different states and which
places are better for the economy and children. Yeah, they're
also biased, just like the legacy media. And then towards
the end, it's really interesting because Walls does his tell
where he pauses for a moment because he knows he's
(30:21):
about to lie, and then he moves forward with a
lie in an argument that was from like three or
four days ago that never gained any traction, but Walls
just couldn't let it go.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
I think we have shown that in many categories we
rank at or near the very top in quality of life.
But I think the focus in all of those races
is is that we have to bring down the cost
of life for many people. And that means things like childcare,
it means things like housing, and it certainly means things
like food and the food insecurity issue that we saw.
(30:50):
And again, I I don't know for what it's worth.
My pro tip to the president of view is don't
hold Great Gatsby parties on the night before. You're going
to punish people for being hungry.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It is not a sin to be poor. God, he's
such a loser perpetuating the lie that Trump is somehow
responsible for the Snap benefits when it just is a
byproduct of the Democrats keeping the government shut down. Everybody
knows that, and yet he continues to spout this lie
(31:24):
and then attempts to use what several people did in
the wake of this Halloween party that was pre planned
at the White House, including this editorial that I want
to share with you some details from in the Star
Tribune written by co Vang Trump's great gaspee moment, partying
it up while Americans go hungry. I'll share with you
(31:46):
a few points from this, and yes, we are going
to go ahead and put it on our never ending
parade of stupid this morning, President Donald Trump writes Kavang
through a great Gatsby party this past weekend in mar
A Lago, while millions of Americans lost their Snap benefits.
(32:06):
It's one thing to eat cake and drink champagne while
others starve. It's another to rent a jazz band, pour
champagne into a tower, and rub it in our faces
while calling its presidential leadership. You know, and once again,
you had all these Democrats that were reposting videos and
snapshots from this party. If they were really concerned about
(32:27):
this being offensive to individuals who are on snap, then
why did you go and continue to spread it around
for those individuals to see just out of curiosity? And
of course there's no discussion or mention at all of
the essentially a weekend wine tasting party that a bunch
of Democrats went on in Napa, California in the wake
(32:50):
of the shutdown beginning. No, of course not. kV An
goes on to say, we all read The Great Gatsby
in high school, or at least pretended to some of
us just to watch the Leonardo DiCaprio movie and decided
that was good enough. But even those who never got
past the spark Notes version remember how it ends. Jay Gatsby,
(33:10):
a man obsessed with wealth and illusion, ends up floating
dead in his pool. I don't know if Trump read
f Scott Fitzgerald or reads it all, but he's clearly
mastered one of Gatsby's tragic flaws. Pretending glitter is gold.
This could have been a Scooby Doo themed party, and
(33:31):
this hack would have written an editorial slamming it. And
which way is it? Because Kavang in this piece she
does this a few times, like is he illiterate or
is he the evil villain that held this party to
throw it in the faces of poor people, Because she
makes several comments in here is I don't know if
(33:51):
he knows how to read or if he even read it.
So again, which one is it? Trump's sore was his
Marie Antoinette let them eat cake moment, except the cake
was gold leafed, the caviar imported, and the guests list
limited to people who don't know the price of a
(34:13):
gallon of milk. Meanwhile, the SNAP program is being gutted. No,
it's just been suspended, and it's probably the people that
Kabank supports that suspended it. I just there's no nothing
being okay anyway. She goes on to right, well, okay.
(34:36):
She spends two paragraphs then laying out why SNAP is
important as which you know, as if nobody knew talking
about children and you know, service workers and the like.
She goes on to say, I read The Great Gatsby
as a student in Saint Agnes High School in Saint Paul,
learning that Fitzgerald himself was born and raised in the
same city. I keep picturing Trump dancing with Milania and
(35:00):
his designer sequined gown pretending to be Gatsby and Daisy,
when really they're more like Edgar Allen Poe's Prince Prospero
and his courtiers in Mask of the Red Death. Listen,
you know the argument is flimsy when she needs to
(35:20):
go and spend this much time one explaining why it's
super offensive and then two trying to find other examples
of why this is all super offensive. On Monday, Trump's
administration said it would partially fund SNAP for November, but
only after two judges issued rulings requiring the government to
keep the nation's largest food aid program running. That's actually
(35:43):
not true. The Trump administration was looking for ways to
go and fund it anyhow, and did so even without
the judge ruling. But be that as it may, I
don't expect this individual to actually go and seek the
proper context and truth. And again she wraps her piece
up with Trump may have never read The Great Gatsby. Okay.
If that's the case, then he's completely unaware about how
(36:06):
this could be viewed as inappropriate or Mask of the
Red Death. But the moral is waiting for him at
the end of his own party. You can build walls, well,
the doors and pour all the champagne you want, but
hunger seeps through everything. And in real life and in books,
the party always ends when the people outside get tired
(36:26):
of starving. Just ask Marie Antoinette and Jay Gatsby how
their parties ended. I said it before, I'll say it again.
If Trump was really really all that evil, wouldn't you
have a host of other things to point to rather
(36:47):
than spinning out of control over a pre planned Halloween
party that every single administration does every year. Completely Separate
from the ongoing shutdown and the snap benefits, we'll get
some more of your comments coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk. We'll dive further into the filibuster talk
(37:09):
and the shutdown. Got a lot more audio to play
from Trump and a couple of clips that may have
you change my tune on the filibuster. And we've got
a lot of your talkbacks already that have rolled in.
We'll get to those next here on a Freedom Friday,
as Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating for an American Experiment
to join us in the studio here on Twin Cities
News Talk. They have what's called a Trump derangement problem.
(37:29):
Have you heard about that problem,
Energy, energy, energy, I hate space.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We come to this place for magic, to cry, to care,
because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling
we get and we go somewhere we've never been before.
Not just entertained, but somehow we born please me together
(00:38):
or sound that I can feel, somehow heartbreak feels good
in a place like this. Our heroes feel like the
best part of us, and stories feel perfect and powerful
because here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They are leaes getstuff. What's called a trump strange problem?
You heard about that problem? I do take it personally.
(01:15):
They knew and they let it happen. Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He speaks through static waves, star a voice that thingers
when night is gone? Twin Cities, The Stories Fun, John
Justice Rides the Rise, Sam.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Lasting stop or Strange scheme lifting?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What are you doing on CRISI score the same when
Shad spin off Rand White Martin Minnesota, Naga Medium. So
(02:09):
remember how the Louver got robbed? I forgot about that.
Good morning, Sam, Good morning, Yes, I remember? So they
caught the perpetrators, yes, which I actually found quite surprising,
was very unmovie esque, like that should have drug out longer.
I was really looking forward to the writing of the
(02:32):
screenplay and the Netflix film, which may still happen, detailing
this incredibly brazen theft of one of the planet's most
famous museums. The Louver director had offered to resign in
the wake of all of this. We highlighted it on
(02:53):
the show because you know, you don't hear a lot
of accountability coming from anybody anymore. Now, that's that's that's good,
you know, And those higher up in charge of the
Loover we're like, no, no, no, you know you need
is you need to stay, but you know, way to
go in stepping up and offering your resignation. I'm not
(03:16):
so sure that they shouldn't resign Based off of this
update from Newsmax, Okay, the password for the Louver Museum's
surveillance system was simply Louver. Come on l o U
(03:39):
v r E. It was just the name of the
with the time of the one hundred and two million
dollars jewel hest that took place last last because of
course it was right. I mean, I guess maybe you think,
what are the odds that somebody is going to go
and attempt to do such a thing in which case,
(04:00):
but I mean it's twenty twenty five, who hasn't learned
right to make a complicated password.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I wonder if the IT person was just like, well,
our Wi Fi password is louve. It's easy to remember.
Let's just set everything else.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
We'll make it consistent across the board. It is. My
wife's not up yet, so I can go here. If
she were, I probably wouldn't tell the story. But in
our household, like Melinda is so conscientious of passwords, like
we won't even say I'm out loud. She has a
master list that are mostly all handwritten out okay on paper,
(04:42):
of our of our passwords. As a matter of fact,
we had to go and update the the Apple password recently.
And if you if you are an Apple product family,
you know that when you go and update that password
like it is, I mean, it takes it takes you
a week to run through the resetting of all of
(05:04):
the different devices, the notifications that are sent to somebody
else's phone where you had to put in whatever their
log in numbers are for the password. It is a hassle.
So we had to do this recently. But Melinda kept saying,
don't say it out loud. Phones are listening because they
(05:26):
are I mean, I'm not giving her too hard. The
phones are listening, right, but don't say it out loud.
So we had it written. We have a dry erase
board in the kitchen, and we had it written on
the dry erase board. This was a couple weeks a
couple of weeks back, and at one point Kyle had said,
you know, can we can we get rid of that
off the dry erase board. He was just tired of
looking at it, and he likes things to be very succinct.
(05:48):
I'm like, sure, without fail. Within three days, Melinda had
to go and implement, had to go and input the
Apple ID password and couldn't remember.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
What it was.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And I had failed to go and right right right,
So we absolutely we actually did end up figuring out
it was what I had assumed. I knew what it,
remembered what it was, and then I went and actually
typed it in and it ended up working. It was
an issue of one of the letters having to be
having to be capitalized, so fascinating to talk to is
(06:24):
what you're gonna have? Yeah, that's exactly exactly what it was.
I'm like, I'm ninety nine present, sure that's what the
password is? Is that working for me. Maybe you come
and put it in and now you know, you know,
now there you go. Now it's now, it's working. It
is a Freedom Friday here on Twin Cities News Talk
AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Oh
if you're not online on x right now, you are
(06:46):
missing out with the Sydney Sweeney memes. Right now, we're
gonna get you up to speed on this. She sat
down for an interview with GQ and the smug liberal
woman in this GQ inn you thought that she had
cornered Sidney Sweeney over the American Eagles ad controversy and
asking me heard this question and Sidney Sweeney just was
(07:09):
not even having it. It's fantastic we have the audio
to share. We're going to talk a lot about snap
and the shutdown, including I might be coming around once again.
I know we've been talking about it this week, and
when our guests join us in studio will dive into
further details. But I may be coming around on nuking
the filibuster. I've spent a lot of time over the
(07:31):
course of the past twenty four hours listening to various commentary,
hearing from the President and the arguments, both pro and con,
and I'm starting to lean into no, maybe Trump is
absolutely right and we should get rid of this. So
we'll talk about that. We have in studio this morning,
the Salt and Peppa of Minnesota Conservative Podcasting. That would
(07:53):
be Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating will be joining us
in studio right around seven o'clock this morning from Center
of the American Experiment. Ak Wellmara will be on joining
us right around seven thirty and then at eight o'clock
this morning. Incredibly honored to be talking with a gold
Star father, Darren Hoover, whose son was killed at Abby Gate.
(08:13):
He's going to be in town for a couple of
different events, but he has been speaking to the media
about the importance of remembering those that we lost in
that horrific attack in Afghanistan, the horrific situation that occurred
in Afghanistan, and also there's a foundation in his son's
name that we will talk to him about coming up
at eight o'clock, and of course we will hear from
(08:35):
you and the iHeartRadio app this morning. You can also
email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com. We have some
of those to share your on and off topic comments
from the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl Realty.
We'll get to those next, and I'll share with you
the a portion of this interview with Sidney Sweeney where
she breaks her silence over this American Eagle ad controversy
(08:57):
here on Twin City's News Talk from the sixty five

to go and send along the MP three Twin City's
news talk on a Freedom Friday them eleven thirty one
to three five FM from the sixty five to one
carpet plus home of the next day. In all studios,

have our guests Grace and Catherine from American Experiment joining
us at the top of the hour. Ak Kamara right
around seven point thirty this morning, and of course you're
on and off topic comments all morning long. We'll get
to Sydney Sweeney here in just a moment.
Speaker 10 (11:17):
Hey, John Brandon, Cottage Girl, Happy Freedom Friday. Just wanted
to remind everyone be safe this weekend during the deer
hunting rifle opener, and I hope everyone gets what they're
looking for. I'm still working online.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Thank you Brandon, appreciate the talk back. Let's go here
on a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 12 (11:38):
I got a question for you, John Justice. Ye put
this on the edito out of all three of your
producers are all conservative or are they alluded to liberals
or are they somewhere in between?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I do not know, and I do not care. It's
actually really refreshing because, first off, anybody and this has
been like it's been like this for me, at least
my attitude about issues like this throughout my entire talk
radio career. When I was doing rock radio, it didn't
it didn't matter. But anybody who was producing or was
(12:21):
running the board or filling in, listen, if you didn't
do your homework prior to joining this show and didn't
know what to expect, it's it's partly on you. At
the same time, for me, it's a matter of knowing
the roles of those that work on the show and
(12:42):
just how we treat each other's as personalities, you know,
how we should be in real life, where ultimately, if
our politics don't matter in terms of the job that
we are doing, then there's no real reason to be
going and discussing them. And I would hope that in
so far it's been the case that anybody working on
this show ends up judging or having an opinion about
me because how of how I treat them, and less
(13:03):
about what I end up saying on the air. The
only time I've told this story before, but cracked me up.
There was a guy that I worked with for a
long period of time, you know, because I was in
Tucson for for nine years and I had worked he'd
been my producer and board up for it was a
It was a couple of those years, real quiet, reserve
(13:24):
dude would laugh at what I said on the air.
Got along just fine. And it wasn't until his last
day when when we were basically you know, party ways
is saying goodbye. He'd gone and gotten another job and
he'd set up Frodd. He's like, I pretty much disagreed
with everything that you said on the air, but I
really enjoyed working with you. And I was like, you
(13:44):
know what, man, I had absolutely no clue whatsoever, and
you know, good on, good on you. So there we go.
I did ask Sam if he was okay with me
asking that question on the air, because this is how
I roll. I try to be respectful.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
By the way, Brandon snuck in a third, did you
hear that I did? I was very pleased about that.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I didn't preview it because I know Brandon's talk back
to the audio is usually pretty clean, and so when
I heard it in the background. I was, I was,
I was very happy about Hell yeah, all right, let's
go here. Nearly four months after Sidney Sweeney's American The
Eagle Jeans ad made headlines, the Euphoria actress responded to
(14:25):
the good Genes controversy. You have to watch the video
of this. It's already become a meme. It is. I've
actually made one that put it up on x if
you follow me on j On John Justice should go
and h and check it out. But in this clip,
the interviewer tried to set this clever trap for Sweeney, right,
(14:50):
kind of framing it as a favor at Sidney Sweeney
just effortlessly swerved out of it. I mean it, and
a lot of people are giving Sidney Sweeney class or
I'm excuse me, not class. She doesn't have a lot
of class, but they're giving her a lot of credit here.
And it's not to say she doesn't deserve credit for this,
(15:12):
but it was really an instinctive and honest response. I mean,
I think most people like I try to put myself
in the similar situation. I tried to place myself in
Sidney Sweeney's spot in this interview and I thought to myself, Yeah,
that's how I would have reacted, just like, yeah, no,
I'm not gonna take the bait on this. Ultimately, it's
(15:34):
none of your business. So online it's usually just the
shorter clip of the question about the dual meaning of
jeans and jens and how she feels. I'm gonna play
for you the entirety of this moment, because again it's
clear that the woman, the GQ interviewer in this case,
(15:57):
either subconsciously or intentionally, was sort of setting Sweeney up
before she basically handed her, you know, an opportunity if
she wanted to go and apologize. So listen to this
and then we'll talk about it coming up in just
a few minutes here on Twin Cities News Talk and
get to more of your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app
(16:17):
on a Freedom Friday. I'm literally in jeens, little two shirt,
like every day of my life.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Jeans are uncontroversial. Genes are awesome. You look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway. I mean, the President tweeted
about the genes AD or trade social about the genes
AD and that just seems to me like a very
crazy moment for anyone, And I wondered.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What that was like.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
It was surreal, It was surreal, and it would be
totally human. I would probably feel like thankful that somebody
had my back in public, you know, and conveniently some
very powerful people had my back in public. And I
wondered if if you felt that way.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I don't think. I don't think that. It's not that feeling, didn't.
I don't have that feeling. But I wasn't thinking of
it like that. So it was interesting here because Sidney Sweeney,
she's not stupid. She sends to what was coming. I mean,
anybody could if you're paying attention, you know. All right,
(17:35):
this is an attempt to lean into this controversy, but
in an uncontroversial way, because this GQ interviewer wants to
get the sound bite, and Sidney Sweeney, to her credit, pauses, waits,
thinks about it, understands what's going on, and chooses her
(17:55):
words very carefully.
Speaker 13 (17:57):
Like of any of it, I kind of just put
my phone away. I was filming every day. I'm filming Euphoreia,
so I'm working like sixteen hour days, and I don't
really bring my phone on set. So I work and
then I go home and I go to sleep, So
I didn't really I don't really see.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
A lot of it.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
You've made a really good case for keeping your thoughts
and your life separate from that work. But the risk
is that you know, there's a chance that somebody will
get some idea about what you think about certain issues
and feel like I don't want.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
See Christie because of that, Like, do you worry about that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
No.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe
specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke
about genetic superiority like that was kind of like the
criticism broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this,
I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk
about that specifically.
Speaker 13 (19:00):
I think that when I I have an issue that
I want to speak about, people here.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Just absolutely brilliant. More coming up on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five Fman.
Speaker 14 (19:17):
Speaking of Sidney Sweeney. About two weeks ago, I went
to screen Unseen at AMC and the surprise movie that
they played was Christy. Sidney Sweeney played the main character.
The main character's name is Christy and she is a
female boxer. I guess it's a true story. She was
(19:40):
amazing Sidney Sweeney and Christy, Thank.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
You, John.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Stop giving that demon bizzong away for free.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Make everybody get their tape recorder out and record it
from the radio like we always had to do back
in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Who has a tape recorder still? I don't even have
one anymore. I mean, you're right, totally used to have
to do.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
But the station I've worked for before I came here, John,
they had not only had cassette players, they had four
track reel to reels in the studio.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And this was a competing sports radio station. We'll just
say that in the Twin Cities market. Yeah, that's just lazy.
I mean, I assume they're using other equipment and they
just hadn't removed the old equipment that has that has
to be or they still actually using it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I mean, they weren't like actively using that, But I
don't know that plays had a lot of old stuff
just around.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
When I started at the first alternative rock station I
worked with worked at as an intern, they were still
using The morning show host that I was interning with
was still using a reel to reel had a razor
blade in studio because you'd have to you'd have to
sync it up and you know, and rotate the reel
back and forth to get the right you know edits
(21:00):
and she would splice it and use little pieces of
tape and put it back together. And they still had
what we used, you know, called carts, which were essentially
the the eight track that you were that you were mentioning.
Speaker 14 (21:10):
It was, it was.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It was really interesting because when I started, it quickly
transitioned afterwards, so I never had I might have worked
a shift or two on the weekends using the reel
to reel, I seem to recall, but I mean it
wasn't anything more than just a just a few months.
So at the same time, I mean, even the computer
(21:32):
system that we use in studio, you know, this is
this is still like MS doss looking it looks so
it looks so archaic, but it's tough to go and
update it because everybody uses it constantly and it's sort
of it almost needs to be more utilitarian in its
in its work. So you know, I'm not going to
give it to myself, but you know what I was
going to play Twin Cities news talk. I am eleven
(21:53):
thirty one oh three five FM. It is a Freedom
Friday broadcasting from the six five to one carpet Next
Day Install studios. A lot of people picking up on
something that didn't immediately click in my mind in this
interview wherein the GQ reporter attempted to go and bait
Sidney Sweeney into responding to the American Eagles at controversy,
(22:19):
and Sweeney didn't take the bait, basically has tried, you know,
stayed politically neutral on it. Let me just play a
portion again, because a lot of you picked up on something,
and I guess I've just become so accustomed to hearing it.
It's now white noise.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Literally m jeans and a T shirt like every day
of my life.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Jeans are uncontroversial, gems are awesome, you look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're going to
answer this, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
I mean, the president on.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
The Sidney Sweeney interview, I couldn't make it past the
Valley Girls speak at the beginning, so I turned an
eye down, but I listened to two year analysis makes sense.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Good morning on Happy Friday to you and all the team.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Why do all those reporters like to talk.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like this and that way they do that at the
end of their interviews make them sound so weird.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Have a great weekend, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Good morning, John, Thanks for putting that clip of Sydney
Sweeney being interviewed.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You're welcome, Scott.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
At first, I had to do a double take because
I thought I was listening to the nineteen eighty three
movie starring Nicholas Cage called Valley Girl.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Fantastic film.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Oh my gosh, gag me with the spoon. My priorities
are kickball, golly golly like like here, the government's shutdown.
We're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and this is
all this country worries about. We are not a serious country.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
No it is.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
It is Freedom Friday. You know, we're lightening things up.
I do have some serious things that we'll talk about
coming up here in a bit. We're gonna do a
deep dive into the filibuster. A lot of people asking,
you know, can you undo it and then put it
back in place? You can, But as you go sort
of down the rabbit hole of the filibuster and look
at history, it becomes incredibly clear that both sides want
(24:12):
to be able to exploit the filibuster because it's it's
a lot more fluid than I had even thought. And
we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Sometimes you won't know when you're talking to a deranged liberal,
but sometimes it'll be completely obvious and the inflection of
their voice when the GQ interviewer says specifically.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to enforce
policy aimed at limiting transgender rights that would restrict to
sex designations on passports to male and female based on
sex assigned app birth. The Justice is granted this emergency
request filed by the administration seeking to reverse the policy
(25:00):
introduced by the Biden administration that allow people to put
X as a gender marker or self select male or female.
Three liberal justices on the conservative majority Court, of course, dissented.
The Trump policy effectively means the transgender people, even those
who have fully transitioned and have medical records to prove it,
would not be able to have gender markers that correspond
(25:22):
with their identities, something we'll talk about on Monday's show
and it's not gained a lot of momentum yet, but
I anticipate over the weekend it will is that apparently
the Supreme Court is poised to take up the issue
of gay marriage, and a lot of analysts are saying
that it seems more likely than not that the Supreme
(25:45):
Court could strike down nationwide gay marriage, much like they
did with abortion, and send it back to the States.
Of course, this would create a massive ripple effect of
criticism and commentary, which could also play in to the
filibuster talk as well. So that is something that we
will be getting into in detail on Monday's show. Again,
(26:08):
it's just being talked about in a few outlets, but
I anticipate over the weekend it's going to grow quite
a bit and we'll spend some time on it on
a Monday Show. All Right. From Newsmax, the Department of
Agricultures said that the beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
program will receive sixty five percent of their normal allotment
for November instead of the previously estimated fifty The department's
(26:30):
Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services disclosed the
new rate earlier this week in a court filing. We
mentioned this briefly yesterday. The shrub administration told a federal
judge that it would tap into more than four billion
in contingency funds to distribute half of November's benefits during
the ongoing government shutdown. Under the revised figures, a family
(26:52):
of four in the contiguous United States will receive approximately
six hundred and forty six dollars in SNAP benefits or
food stands for the month. A federal judge, also in
Rhode Island overnight has essentially ordered a Trump to act
like a king and find money to fully SNAP fund,
beyond what the Trump administration said they were already going
(27:14):
to do. And listen, these are activist judges that are
perpetuating the leftist narrative that this is all Trump's fault.
This is why these judges are doing this. They don't
even know themselves how Trump is supposed to go and
find this money and legally go in fund SNAP without
Congress getting involved. But they simply do not care. They
(27:38):
want to be able to aid the Democrats in perpetuating
this ridiculous nonsense that it's Trump's fault that people aren't
receiving their SNAP benefits, including Governor Tim Wallas, who held
the press conference yesterday and spouted the lie and then
went back to a controversy that actually ended like three
days ago. We'll get to this in just a moment.
(27:58):
Let me share this with you though, as I take
a look at the talkbacks rolling in from the iHeartRadio
app brought to you by Lindahl Realty Kaylee mcanaey on
Fox News talking about the filibuster and who is actually
hurting that's not being talked about as much in this
whole debate.
Speaker 15 (28:16):
Let me make this really simple. No one's winning, not Republicans,
not Democrats. When military members cannot pay their bills, when
air traffic controllers are calling out because they get zeros
on their paycheck, when our safety is at issue in
the side, no one is winning.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
We are all losing.
Speaker 15 (28:30):
And why because Democrats they got a chance to vote
to pay the military. Fine, you don't want to open
up the government, how about pay the military es central workers.
Guess how many Democrats voted to do that? Three John Fetterman,
Rafael Warnack, and John Assoft. Three Democrats voted to pay
the military. Now, John Kennedy says, let's vote to remove
our pay until military members get paid. Can't wait to
see how many Democrats vote on that.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Let me propose a.
Speaker 15 (28:52):
Very simple solution here. Pilibuster not in the constitution, Filibuster
not pass legislatively. Filibuster can be removed for the sole
purpose of spending bills. You can just remove the filibuster
to open the government when military members are hurting, when
we are not safe in the skies, it is time
to nuke the filibuster for spending bills because Democrats are
(29:14):
hurting our country.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Now, as I mentioned, Governor Tim Walls held the press
conference and talking about these issues. Also, he spent the
He spends the first part of this thirty second clip.
I'm talking about Minnesota being a great place to live,
and it is. I'm not saying that, however, the metrics
by which Walls goes and points to these lists that
(29:38):
Minnesota lands on about being the best place to live
for a bunch of various reasons. Basically, these are all
outlets that are that are you know, check marking boxes
relating to progressive policies that have been adopted here by
Democrats that lend themselves to the various cia that they
(30:01):
put forward for us to land on this list. Yeah,
even in these lists that taut different states and which
places are better for the economy and children. Yeah, they're
also biased, just like the legacy media. And then towards
the end, it's really interesting because Walls does his tell
where he pauses for a moment because he knows he's
(30:21):
about to lie, and then he moves forward with a
lie in an argument that was from like three or
four days ago that never gained any traction, but Walls
just couldn't let it go.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
I think we have shown that in many categories we
rank at or near the very top in quality of life.
But I think the focus in all of those races
is is that we have to bring down the cost
of life for many people. And that means things like childcare,
it means things like housing, and it certainly means things
like food and the food insecurity issue that we saw.
(30:50):
And again, I I don't know for what it's worth.
My pro tip to the president of view is don't
hold Great Gatsby parties on the night before. You're going
to punish people for being hungry.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It is not a sin to be poor. God, he's
such a loser perpetuating the lie that Trump is somehow
responsible for the Snap benefits when it just is a
byproduct of the Democrats keeping the government shut down. Everybody
knows that, and yet he continues to spout this lie
(31:24):
and then attempts to use what several people did in
the wake of this Halloween party that was pre planned
at the White House, including this editorial that I want
to share with you some details from in the Star
Tribune written by co Vang Trump's great gaspee moment, partying
it up while Americans go hungry. I'll share with you
(31:46):
a few points from this, and yes, we are going
to go ahead and put it on our never ending
parade of stupid this morning, President Donald Trump writes Kavang
through a great Gatsby party this past weekend in mar
A Lago, while millions of Americans lost their Snap benefits.
(32:06):
It's one thing to eat cake and drink champagne while
others starve. It's another to rent a jazz band, pour
champagne into a tower, and rub it in our faces
while calling its presidential leadership. You know, and once again,
you had all these Democrats that were reposting videos and
snapshots from this party. If they were really concerned about
(32:27):
this being offensive to individuals who are on snap, then
why did you go and continue to spread it around
for those individuals to see just out of curiosity? And
of course there's no discussion or mention at all of
the essentially a weekend wine tasting party that a bunch
of Democrats went on in Napa, California in the wake
(32:50):
of the shutdown beginning. No, of course not. kV An
goes on to say, we all read The Great Gatsby
in high school, or at least pretended to some of
us just to watch the Leonardo DiCaprio movie and decided
that was good enough. But even those who never got
past the spark Notes version remember how it ends. Jay Gatsby,
(33:10):
a man obsessed with wealth and illusion, ends up floating
dead in his pool. I don't know if Trump read
f Scott Fitzgerald or reads it all, but he's clearly
mastered one of Gatsby's tragic flaws. Pretending glitter is gold.
This could have been a Scooby Doo themed party, and
(33:31):
this hack would have written an editorial slamming it. And
which way is it? Because Kavang in this piece she
does this a few times, like is he illiterate or
is he the evil villain that held this party to
throw it in the faces of poor people, Because she
makes several comments in here is I don't know if
(33:51):
he knows how to read or if he even read it.
So again, which one is it? Trump's sore was his
Marie Antoinette let them eat cake moment, except the cake
was gold leafed, the caviar imported, and the guests list
limited to people who don't know the price of a
(34:13):
gallon of milk. Meanwhile, the SNAP program is being gutted. No,
it's just been suspended, and it's probably the people that
Kabank supports that suspended it. I just there's no nothing
being okay anyway. She goes on to right, well, okay.
(34:36):
She spends two paragraphs then laying out why SNAP is
important as which you know, as if nobody knew talking
about children and you know, service workers and the like.
She goes on to say, I read The Great Gatsby
as a student in Saint Agnes High School in Saint Paul,
learning that Fitzgerald himself was born and raised in the
same city. I keep picturing Trump dancing with Milania and
(35:00):
his designer sequined gown pretending to be Gatsby and Daisy,
when really they're more like Edgar Allen Poe's Prince Prospero
and his courtiers in Mask of the Red Death. Listen,
you know the argument is flimsy when she needs to
(35:20):
go and spend this much time one explaining why it's
super offensive and then two trying to find other examples
of why this is all super offensive. On Monday, Trump's
administration said it would partially fund SNAP for November, but
only after two judges issued rulings requiring the government to
keep the nation's largest food aid program running. That's actually
(35:43):
not true. The Trump administration was looking for ways to
go and fund it anyhow, and did so even without
the judge ruling. But be that as it may, I
don't expect this individual to actually go and seek the
proper context and truth. And again she wraps her piece
up with Trump may have never read The Great Gatsby. Okay.
If that's the case, then he's completely unaware about how
(36:06):
this could be viewed as inappropriate or Mask of the
Red Death. But the moral is waiting for him at
the end of his own party. You can build walls, well,
the doors and pour all the champagne you want, but
hunger seeps through everything. And in real life and in books,
the party always ends when the people outside get tired
(36:26):
of starving. Just ask Marie Antoinette and Jay Gatsby how
their parties ended. I said it before, I'll say it again.
If Trump was really really all that evil, wouldn't you
have a host of other things to point to rather
(36:47):
than spinning out of control over a pre planned Halloween
party that every single administration does every year. Completely Separate
from the ongoing shutdown and the snap benefits, we'll get
some more of your comments coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk. We'll dive further into the filibuster talk
(37:09):
and the shutdown. Got a lot more audio to play
from Trump and a couple of clips that may have
you change my tune on the filibuster. And we've got
a lot of your talkbacks already that have rolled in.
We'll get to those next here on a Freedom Friday,
as Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating for an American Experiment
to join us in the studio here on Twin Cities
News Talk. They have what's called a Trump derangement problem.
(37:29):
Have you heard about that problem,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
