Speaker 1 (00:06):
Don't forget Democrats always accuse Republicans of what they do.
The Mask of the Red Death is about a prince
who throws a giant party inside the walls of his
palace while sickness rages outside the palace.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Doesn't that sound more like Gavin Newsom? Yeah, it really does.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
As a matter of fact, there were several people in
the midst of the controversy, and it was earlier this
week and I completely missed it, and we'll revisit it
here in just a moment where Trump had thrown a
Halloween party and that was themed on The Great Gatsby,
and I was unaware that this had actually erupted into
an online controversy. It was only yesterday when I was
(00:51):
doing prep for the show, after we or after I
found the clip of Governor Tim Walls when he said this,
and i'll replay it here in just a moment that
I went back and realized, oh, the Democrats were trying
to make a big deal about this Great gats beat
and party. And then this morning I just shared with
you this piece from cavang and the Minnesota Star Tribune
(01:12):
here on Twin City's News Talk on Freedom Friday, from
the six to five to one Carpet, Next Day Install Studios,
Trump's Great Gatsby moment, partying it up while Americans Go Hungry.
I have a clip from Speaker Johnson where he was
actually asked about this in a press conference earlier this
week and gave a great answer and one again.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll get to this as well in just a moment, but.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The first of the podcasting Dynamic Duo is in studio.
Grace Keating from American Experiment, the American Experiment podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Good Morning, good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know that you're a fan of literature. I am
you a great Gatsby fan?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yes, I do. I just reread that book this year.
I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How did you feel about the Leonardo DiCaprio film, Oh,
I really liked it.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I've seen two of the movie adaptations. I remember liking
different things about each of them. I mean, he's such
a good Gatsby, you can't argue. And just the pageantry
of the whole movie.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I really enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And the famous meme now of him with the champagne and.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Can't be that we got a good meme out of
the movie. What more do you want?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
In Sydney Sweeney's meme. We'll talk about that again when
Catherine joins us in studio. Were you aware that the
Democrats were making a big deal about this Gatsby party
earlier this week?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No, I was a little focused on the shutdown personally, so.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
When I went online because Walls made this comment, let
me play for you the clip.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The clip again.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
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.
(02:45):
And again I don't know for what it's worth. My
pro tip to the president of is, don't hold great
Gatsby parties on the night before. You're going to punish
people for being hungry. It is not a sin to
be poor.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh gosh, it's so.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It is so I roll inducing, which is exactly what
Gregs just did in studio. He has a tell it
was right in that moment where he pauses before he
teased it up to do his little his little line
about Gatsby, and he.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Had that locked and loaded.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, he was ready to go. But again
that was yesterday. That controversy was earlier this week, so
he's even late to the game. Regarding the less criticism,
which they had completely moved off of, I mean that
whole Gatsby argument has gone the same route as the.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
East Wing ballroom expansion, which.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I comp really forgot about until yesterday too, and they
couldn't just completely just let it go.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's all gone now, it doesn't matter anymore. Good morning, Catherine,
Good morning. How are we doing this morning?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
How are you well? How familiar are you with a
great Gatsby?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I was kind of on the spark.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Note side of things, But.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I think it mostly this editorial that I read just
at the at the end of last hour, and if
you missed to be sure to check out the podcast.
It is such another I'm gonna repeat myself, but it's
such a great example of you know, when it comes
to Democrats again, this could have been a Scooby Doo
themed party and it wouldn't have mattered.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They would have complained about it. But if he is
so evil and awful and bad.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Why do you have to spend this much time focusing
on something like a Halloween party that was pre planned
long before Democrats went to and shut the government down.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, like that's the best you've got.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
The article is also just like dripping in the elitism
that this person is criticizing.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
It's so funny. She's like, I.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Think she's making these wonderful literary ties that are really
I'm like, last look, I Greg Gatsby.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I did I read it? I read it. I think
middle school.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
I mean, this isn't the most incredible critique of I've
ever seen, but it's just the elitism.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Speaker Johnson was asked about this earlier in the week.
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
We talk about those let's screen between between.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know, zebrast, what the Republicans are doing?
Speaker 10 (05:05):
What about the split's screen?
Speaker 9 (05:06):
Another fact that the Trump.
Speaker 11 (05:07):
Administration is administering only.
Speaker 10 (05:09):
Part of the SNAP program while President Trump is having
a yajianquarty at Laula Land.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I reject the premise of the question. Let me talk
about SNAP.
Speaker 12 (05:18):
Okay, By the way, the president had an annual Halloween
theme party every year at Mari A Lago that's what
he went back to his obligatory tradition, and I just
discount what you're trying to do there.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The SNAP benefit is very important question.
Speaker 12 (05:33):
The White House has bent over backwards, as we've recounted
here every morning, to make sure that Americans pain is
mitigated as much as possible. Were reduced as much as possible,
so we got the troops paid. They made creative solutions
for that. The WICK funding for women, infants, and children,
and SNAP came to a legal crossroads because the legal
analysis said that you could not use the contingency fund
(05:54):
if the underlying fund was not flowing. I explained, I've
explained that into detail here multiple times to courts dis
So what did the president do and good faith showing
again that he's willing to bend over backwards to help
the American people when Democrats are not. He went to
the court and said, fine, to show me how to
do it, because we don't see the path. And so
the courts have ordered that they filed a brief yesterday
(06:16):
or some response yesterday in the court that they they'll
give as much as is there. Remember, the contingency Fund
only has a roughly five billion and it costs roughly
nine billion for a month of snap benefits. So I
think the arrangement is theyre going to give half at
least half to everyone. But here's the problem. It's very complex,
is that it's administered through the states, and you have
to recalculate all the allocations and how the checks go out.
(06:37):
You can't just flip a switch and do that. It's
a lot of work that goes into it. So I
can tell you that the President is dialed in on this.
The President is trying to protect and cover the American people,
as he always does. The President is trying to get
the government opened again, and the Republicans have voted fourteen
times to do it, and the Democrats have voted fourteen
times not to do it, to keep the government closed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's the story, Speaker, Mike Johnson does not get enough credit.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
I was just thinking that that was a perfect response.
I mean, that's the crucial point is that Trump has
done everything to mitigate the damage that the Democrats are
doing in Congress, but they just they can't blame anyone
except Trump. It's their one thing. But Mike Johnson, speaking
of taking the bait, he never takes the bait it's incredible.
More people need to use that. I reject the premise line.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
So many people get lost in the weeds just accepting
whatever weird question the Democrats and liberals and leftist media
have set up for them.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I really really appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
But I also love that you can hear in his
voice that like you can just hear how tired he is.
He's like, I've said this two of you guys like
ten times in the last week. I explained it in detail.
We have to go over this again. I just add
so much to it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
There's an interesting there's an interesting side conversation that could
be had with all of this in through all of
these controversies that we talk about on the show on
a weekly basis, what you guys cover on the American
Experiment podcast, and we played these clips from Johnson, the
points that both of you guys made, Sidney Sweeney's interview
(08:08):
with GQ, and how she's so so eloquently and you know,
very quietly just handled that GQ interviewer. But it really
is helping individuals when it comes to facing these debates
on a daily basis, because for the longest time, prior
(08:28):
to social media, you know, not everybody got in positions
like this. You weren't online having to go and argue
your points, trying to go and make cogent responses to
ridiculous allegations. It's a difficult thing for people to deal
with that have never faced that type of political appusition
and debate, and now people are and what we're seeing
(08:51):
are these great examples of just how conservatives are handling
these these situations so well.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You can learn from Mike Johnson, you can.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Learn from Sidney Sweeney, of all people, I assume she's
a conservative, but honestly, I don't care. I love the
fact that she just stays a political and doesn't take
the bait on this stuff, which is something that a
lot of people can absolutely go in and learn from.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
And that's exactly what I got from her interview, which
should have been the goal.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She say, I'm staying out of it.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
If I have an issue I want to speak on,
then you'll hear about it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
But this isn't it.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
That was the smartest thing for her to do. And
other actors and actresses should, you know, take a page out.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Of her book.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Yeah, I don't think she's a conservative. Johnny, You've probably
never seen youph you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, well I've seen no, I've never seen that.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
You know, it doesn't give conservative, I would say, vibes
doesn't scream.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Conservative doesn't scream certainly not in the clothing department from
what I've heard, precisely.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Okay, So however, I think she feels the she feels
the waves turning, and people are appreciating more and more
when people like her and people like Mike Johnson don't
fall for the traps that people in the media transept
for them.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So this was rather a Sarah Diptus. I was not
aware of this.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So I have a couple of talkbacks that I want
to play regarding Governor Tim Walls and his comments. But
in the middle of when these talkbacks were rolling in,
Liz Collin from Alpha News posted about this, and I
had not heard. Let's go to a Judy on the
iHeartRadio app talkback brought to you by Lyndall Realty.
Speaker 13 (10:18):
Governor Wallace is really going to be out there talking
about a great Gatsby Party. Oh my gosh, man, you're
out there making multiple charges on your state credit card
that is paid for by taxes that I actually had
to pay, so you could sit and buy fifteen thousand
dollars worth of flowers. I mean, who takes this man? Seriously?
Look at all these people. The fraud is everywhere. Oh sorry,
(10:41):
that just set me off today.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I had not heard about this and I'm looking at Yeah,
people in Governor Jim Wallas's office spent fifteen thousand dollars
on flour and furniture using state credit cards and split
the purchases into two transactions to avoid the five thousand
dollars spending limit. And this comes on top of a
piece that I've been holding on from your guy, from
you guys from American Experiment, wherein I think it was
(11:04):
John feelin A highlighted what the four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars legal bill that came attached to his congressional testimony.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He he is the height of hypocrisy here in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He really is.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
He is the poster child for the pot killing Wait
is it the pot called the black Yeah, he's that.
And by the way, you can vote for Governor Wallace's
four hundred and thirty thousand dollars legal bills at Golden
Turkey and then dot Com if you want.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That to be our Golden Turkey of the Year.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Well played, very good plug well played, nicely packed, nicely done.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
That's my COM's training coming through.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was better than my promotion of the radio show
on your podcast this week. I gotta mention, Oh, week
we covered it. Oh did you okay?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So we helped you out?
Speaker 14 (11:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I completely. It's like, do we ever even say where
I was from? I don't think that we just assume
everybody knows who I am?
Speaker 15 (11:50):
Right that.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It is crazy that all of the it's everything happening
in Governor Walls's office and Peggy Flanigans for that matter,
with the with the inability to run a.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Well oiled machine.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
They have all of these these awful things going on
that they were called out in that report, and it's
just so indicative of what's happening in our state. They
can't run their own small office, and yet they're in.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Charge of the funding for our entire state.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Coming up, we're going to dive into the filibuster.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I have a clip here from our adopted senator from
Wisconsin and some clips from Trump yesterday and on the show,
I had said that, you know, because I'm of the
opinion that Democrats want Trump to go and nuke the
filibuster for if and when they go and take control
so they can do whatever it is they want to
do and not be held responsible for doing it themselves.
Trump made some really good arguments yesterday as to why
(12:43):
Republicans need to do it now, and so does Ron Johnson.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We'll play those coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We'll hear from our in studio guests on a Freedom
Friday again, Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating from the American
Experiment podcast, and we'll have Akkamara, RNC committeemen and business
owner joining us right after seven thirty, plus more of
your comments from the iHeartRadio app. Next on Twinsday's News
Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM
point five.
Speaker 10 (13:11):
The last reported death by starvation in the US happened
in nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I can't be the only one that immediately envisioned the
star in the rainbow.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
The more you know.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
When she said that, Yes, twin City's News Talk AM
eleven thirty one oh three five FM from the sixty
five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios. Those
other voices that you heard along with mind john Justice
would be Catherine Johnson from American Experiment. Good morning, Grace
Keepney from American Experiment. Hello, follow her on next she
needs followers.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No, it's okay, I don't post. She won't accept my
follow you.
Speaker 16 (13:52):
Oh I haven't jet kept my fill I'm sorry. I'm
sorry you did you accept mine? Because I would have
accepted yours. I was, I was. I was Grace's first
follow I know it's right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
We'll treasure that memory forever.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No, such an absolute honor.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
I yeah, eight following one follower. I literally got flagged
for suspicious activity by Twitter yesterday when I logged in,
because like they considered that log in unusually.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know what he was it clearly because you just
called it Twitter. There's there's that.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's fair. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It is a Freedom Friday. You're on an off topic
comments all morning long. This one's going to go to
uh Sam and the Master Control Booth.
Speaker 17 (14:34):
So Freedom Friday question. I'm thinking about buying a g
Grand Cherokee four by e. Can somebody explain to me
how the four by E system works? I looked it
up a little bit, googled it, and it says that
the key part stands for Electric Hybrid a little motor
in the transmission. Apparently, I think you get like twenty
five miles on electrically.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That seems kind of worthless.
Speaker 17 (14:56):
Anybody got any reviews on this?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, first of this one, it seems as if you
figured out what for by e mens. This is a
little off the beaten path to do car talk. But Sam,
I know you drive around a jeep. Would you care
to respond to him?
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 18 (15:08):
Uh, not wrong for this particular hybrid. For jeeps anyway,
they get about twenty five miles on a full charge,
which might seem kind of worthless. However, if you're doing
a lot of local driving, then it actually works out
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 18 (15:23):
On highway driving, it's a lot less. It's probably about
I don't know sixty percent of that. So just keep
that in mind. If you do a lot of highway driving,
it's probably you're not going to see much return on it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Wow, it's the return again though, the more you know. Yeah,
right there, Thank you, Sam, I appreciate that.
Speaker 19 (15:38):
Let's go here, Donald Trump, Okay, I get it. You
can have a party. Can you think about optics? You
gave the communist cannon fodder? Why do you do that?
That's not very bright. That's pretty tone dead. I don't
care if you have a party, but this is not
(15:59):
the right to to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
There was a time, and it was a while ago,
where I used to feel that way. I just don't anymore.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what Trump does.
Speaker 20 (16:10):
He could.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no other simple way to put the other way
to put it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It just simply doesn't matter if he wants to have
a gat Toby party at the White House. Anybody who's
rational enough knows it's Halloween themed. They picked the theme,
they went with it. They probably had no idea because
that was an incredibly elaborate party. As a matter of fact,
I can guarantee they had no idea they would be
(16:34):
in the middle of a shutdown and that moment, snap
benefits would be expiring because of Democrats keeping the government
shut down for as long as they did.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It doesn't matter what Trump does.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I was just talking to someone yesterday who has the
same issue you know, with Trump in general, and I
feel the same way. There was a time when I
cared about optics perception. It's part of the game. But
the second you start playing that today in twenty twenty five.
We've already lost to a certain extent to liberals.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Sometimes it helps to like think of the other headline
it could have been. If he canceled the party, they'd
go track down a kid who was supposed to go
to this party and is now devastated, and that would
be the exactly so.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Or they would do the taco Oh Trump always chickens out.
Oh see, he knows how bad this is for the party.
He knows, he understands this is a bad look, and
how devastating that this shutdown is for him, so much
so that he had to cancel this party.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow, look at the Democrats really got him on the ropes. Now,
I just read that I just wrote the headlines.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That was really good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You know, it's almost like they paid me for a reason.
I know, I'm surprised to you sometimes though. This one's
for Grayson Catherine.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Hey John an American Experiment team. I just want to
say I've been listening to the American Experiment podcast. It's
great stuff. The only thing I wish is sometimes I
could send it in talkbacks like I do with John
to the team there. And also I wish there was
more you know, I don't know if the if they
could make more, but they did, I'd listened to it.
(18:09):
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
There you go, American Experiment Team.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Thanks man, Oh my gosh, thank you for listening. That
was amazing.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
I do want I want a talkback system. I love
the talkbacks.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I know.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
The only version we have of that is comments. We
you know, we get a lot of YouTube comments. We
read every single one. We love reading them. But I
wan't to have like a live version of that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, well, you know, I mean the way technology is today,
just give out your phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
People can leave you voicemails.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, you know, it's kind of unlimited, and you can
just plug in and just share the share the voicemails.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
That Grace would get a bunch of calls about her
eyebrows man apparently.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, that's my clem to fame best in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's about time I had a Oh. I also want
to mention it it's too late now long too late
for me right right.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
If I ever had another pet, I'm gonna name him
long Pause. I decided that earlier this morning.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's like the funniest pandem of ever.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Seriously.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
If I hadn't, if we hadn't named Artemis Artemis, I
think long Pause would have been the runner up. But
you know, oh see, I'll phrase it this way, I'll
make it this way. It's people will figure it out.
But I've already opened my mouth. There are some social
media platforms wherein you can call from the social media platform.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Did you guys know this to.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
The person, So like your phone is inside of the
platform and somebody can make a call through the particular one.
I had a listener that was like desperately trying to
get a hold of me earlier this week this week, well,
and they were very concerned about something and they weren't
getting answers and they were hoping that I could.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
So my phone kept ringing and I'm like, why is
my why is that? Why is that platform calling me?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And then I and then I realized, like, oh, there
was a you know, so we had a very nice exchange.
They were just having difficulty with an issue, and I
was like, yeah, I don't typically go and communicate with
listeners in that fashion through my personal phone in the
middle of while I'm watching you know, Halloween, you know,
baking challenge.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
With glimpse behind the.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Curtains, which was fantastic this last season.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
By the way, I just need to tell you, all right,
here's a quick clip from Trump. We have Ak Kamara
joining us in studio coming up here in just a moment.
I also want to get to this clip from our
adopted senator from Wisconsin talking about the filibuster. The Democrat
election wins have complicated the shutdown talks and also this
whole you know, this whole debate now with the filibuster,
(20:29):
I think is actually keeping the Democrats from reopening the
government because they're seeing how this plays out, and so
our conservatives. So let me play you just a quick
clip from Trump and we'll get to your thoughts and
the thoughts of our guests this morning as ak arrives.
And it was really this one and what Trump wanted
to do that started to push me further and further
(20:50):
towards nuking the filibuster.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
But can you.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Imagine when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All
we want is voter ide. You go to a grocery store,
you have to give ID. You go to a gas station,
you give ID, But for voting. They want no voter id.
There's only for one reason, because they cheat. We would
pass that. In fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
On the free iHeartRadio Wire, R and C.

GLASSES i just want to say it was a LITTLE
i was, like you, know that was a really good.
Thumbnail BUT i know you guys should change the thumbnails
up as of, late SO i didn't take much offense to.
IT i mean just a, little tics a. LITTLE i,
Know i'm pretty demanding talking about the. Filibuster let me
(22:19):
Play Donald trump again from. Yesterday i'll share this. One
this is this is kind of a prequel to the
clip here that he or or should say the sequel
to the. Clip but talking about VOTER id and what
he wants to do in nuking the.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Filibuster can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against VOTER.
Id all we want is VOTER. Id you go to
a grocery, store you have to GIVE. Id you go
to a gas, station you GIVE. Id but for, voting
they want no VOTER. Id there's only for one, reason
because they. Cheat we would pass that in fifteen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Minutes now here's more of What trump had to say
on explaining why he wants to terminate the.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Filibuster Member, republicans regardless of the humor, shutdown That democrats
will terminate the philibuster the first chance they. Get they
will pack The Supreme court of The United, states pick
up two. States that's a lot of, states and add
at least eight electoral. Votes their two objectors are. Gone
remember cinema and. Mansion they're. Gone don't be, weak don't be. Stupid, republicans, fight, fight, fight.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Win win.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
Win we will immediately end the extortioner, shutdown get all
of our agenda, pass and make life so good For
americans that these Deranged democrat politicians will never again have
the chance to Destroy. America they try to destroy your. Country,
republicans you will rue the day that you didn't terminate the.
(23:43):
Philibuster be, tough be, smart and. Win this is much
bigger than the. Shutdown this is the survival of our.
Country terminate the, filibuster and let's live the great life
that this country is.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Capable he makes an interesting, point is one THAT i
hadn't thought of until my wife actually brought it. Up
melinda brought it up, yesterday Of christian cinema And Joe
manchin not being a part of the equation. ANYMORE i
do want to Play Wisconsin Senator Ron johnson here in
just a, moment BUT i want to get your. THOUGHTS i, Know,
grace you had a visible reaction on. This did you
(24:22):
want to comment on What trump had to.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Say it's not an intelligent reaction at. ALL i JUST
i get so.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Distracted he's making great, points AND i get so distracted
by his speaking cadence and His trump.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Style it's just such a.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Gift i'm so happy this is the first year of
his presidency and we have so many more years to
come of speeches like.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That it makes me so.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Happy, YEAH i you, know you can't help but love
him and love what he's. Saying he's so fired. Up
but at the same, TIME i just question if it's
not going to be used so much more By democrats
Than republicans in the.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Future so this is where the gamble comes into and
yesterday And i've gone back and forth because there's not
a real clear answer on this.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Issue it really does come down to a.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Gamble and When trump talks about and we've had some
talkbacks that have rolled in And i'll get to these
here in just a, moment When trump talks about going
shoring up voter, integrity cutting off mail and voting only
in the ways that you should. Be when it comes
to those that, are you, know either incapable of going
out on election day or you, know military serving, OVERSEAS
(25:32):
i know there are other.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Reasons i'm just laying out laying laying out a.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Few when you you, know make it a requirement to
show proof OF. Id you take away the ability as
best as we possibly can to bring about. Integrity trump
makes a very very good point that it would be
increasingly difficult For democrats to go and win, elections in
which case then you wouldn't have to worry about them
(25:56):
going and using the lack of a filipbus to go
and undo a bunch of things if they don't have.
Power we'll go into a bit more of a deep
dive on this BECAUSE i have an article here and
it really sort of opened up my eyes to how
fluid the filibuster really is and how you can go
and sort of change it at your, will eliminated and
(26:17):
bring it, back which underscores the fact that this is
being used, for you, know political gamesmanship by both. Parties
before we talk with Ak kamar and get his thoughts on,
this here is our adopted senator From, wisconsin and this
was another one WHERE i really respect What Ron johnson
has to. Say you, know he is a very even
keeled senator in my, opinion incredibly, pragmatic and when he's
(26:40):
making comments like, this my ears tend to prick.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Up do you, agree what do you make of blowing
up the.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Filibuster i've always been a big supporter of the.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
Filibuster it has Stopped america from going down.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
To socialist path in. Decades but The president is.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Right AND i told him il at this point in,
time he's one hundred percent Correc The democrats purged the
last two senators who held out and support the, filbuster
so we know they have no respect for the. FILBUSTER
i don't think there'll be A Democrat senate candidate running for.
Office it won't pledge to again end the. Filibuster so
we need to strike first. Now when The democrats eliminate the,
(27:18):
filibuster it'll all be about their maintenance of. Power as
A president laid, out there will be more senators packing
The Supreme. Court it will all be about their acquisition
and maintenance of.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Power if we're.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
To do, it it will be for the benefit of
The american. People we'll further secure, border we'll secure our.
Elections you, KNOW i would LOVE i would love to
sit down With democrats to repair the damage done by
A bomacare and transition to a system that actually, works
rather than continue to throw hundreds of billions of dollars
in a completely failed. System where we're having a hearing
(27:49):
today in my, Committee i'm assessing the damage Of.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Obamacare If democrats.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Would actually acknowledge, that admit what a miserable failure Of bombacare,
is we could fix That american. Public so, AGAIN i
HATE i hate the fact That democrats are gonna blow
up a, filibuster but they. Will we have to acknowledge
that awful, reality AND i think we probably need to act.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
FIRST i would be totally on board with getting rid
of the filibuster using the nuclear option if it were
a guarantee that The republicans in The house And senate
would get a lot of The trump stuff, passed The Save,
act everything he's signed getting an executive order For if
(28:35):
that was, guaranteed then, yes absolutely nuke the.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Filibuster business OWNER r AND C Committeeman Ak, Kamara good.
Speaker 15 (28:45):
Morning what's that? Buddy you, know it's a beautiful. MORNING
i hate the fact that, we you, know had to fall,
back but we didn't have enough political capital to not
implement this terrible daylight saving.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Time please don't start talking about it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
AGAIN i do that just is just for cat.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Drop by the, way we still start talking about it,
again we need we need that.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Drop i'm already on. It well you're on that real, Quick.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Ak BEFORE i get your, THOUGHTS i want to drop
in one more talkback relating to the, filibuster and then
we'll get your thoughts on.
Speaker 21 (29:15):
It good, Morning john's Covering.
Speaker 19 (29:18):
Pomonamia.
Speaker 21 (29:20):
UH i have one question about the. Millibuster if they
can nuke, it why don't they nuked take care of
everything that they need to, pass pass all the appointments
that are, waiting getting all work, done and then. Reinstated
(29:40):
is that.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Possible it is possible from from What i've, Read i'm
actually quite surprised the filibuster has never been set in.
STONE i have a list here of all of the
different times that we've we've tweaked. IT i think there's
a matter of precedent that is concerning for individuals to just, go,
oh we're going to remove, it pass all our, stuff
(30:01):
or putting it back in, again because it's kind of
the same. Thing The democrats could just go and do
the same thing when they go and get into, Power
so it doesn't really change the dynamics all that. Much But, Ak,
kamara nuke the, philibuster keep the. Filibuster move on to
talk about daylight savings.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Time what are your thoughts On.
Speaker 15 (30:17):
Yeah we definitely needed to nuke the. FILIBUSTER i made
a video about. This you can follow me On Exit
real Ak kamara also over on TikTok at Ak kamara
AND i broke it, down, like, listen this idea that
we live in a society where democrats respect the rights
Of senate rules And congressional rules of decorum and not
(30:37):
trampling all over the. Minority that time doesn't exist, anymore
and that's the. Reality we have to understand what time it.
Is democrats are in a position where they will constantly
lie on. Everything if you go ON, x it can
be a little bit black piled right now because every
senator is. LYING i don't care if it's supposed to
(30:57):
be someone that's more. Moderate all of them are lying about.
Everything so the moment that they have the opportunity to
kill the, filibuster they will because they do not care
about the, korum they do not care about rules of.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Order that's not what time it.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Is SO i agree That president With President, Trump republicans
in The senate have lived in this time where they
think that these things, matter and that precedent. Matters wake
up and realize where we're at in this. Country if
we do not do if we don't neot the Filibuster
President trump's entire agenda that he, codified that he passed
(31:36):
through executive order that needs to be, codified that's not
going to. Happen and so if he does not deliver
for The american people right, now we are going to
lose power in twenty six and then The house will be,
neutered and then The american people will Blame republicans as
they did On.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Tuesday that's what.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
Happened like make no, mistake it's Because republicans haven't been
able to deliver on their. Promises it's because of The
democrats and they're not even trying to negotiate in good.
Faith but, yeah we need a nuke the, filibuster pass
and Codify President trump's executive orders to Make america great.
Again and at the end of all of, this If
democrats learn their, lesson then we can maybe go back
to an era of.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Decorum what'll be interesting to. SEE i want to add
a new wrinkle to. This, yeah because If democrats begin
to believe That trump is going to or that The
republicans are going to go in nuke the, filibuster and
they believe that THE gop will call a lessons pass this.
Stuff how quickly Will democrats then come to the table
(32:34):
be like, whoa, whoa, whoa let's get the government back
open again to keep them to prevent them from nuking the.
Filibuster it's an angle on this THAT i haven't heard
talked about, yet BUT i can absolutely see that happening if,
suddenly now The Republicans because here's a quick. Clip this, is, Uh,
tommy do we Do Tubervilla? Tubberville every single TIME i
Say Tuberville? Tuberville, okay do you guys you Go? Tubberville,
(32:56):
okay il a coin about to say you're the deciding. Vote,
Grace now you just threw a monciation.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Of the situation On COM's Professional all, Right.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Let's here Is Senator Tommy tuberville on his thoughts on the.
Speaker 14 (33:12):
Filibuster, okay if we need to bust, it let's bust.
It let's knock it down to fifty one and let
The senate know. That, listen the power needs to go
to the president and let him get something.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Done if we.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Don't we're gonna lose our. Country it's gonna be over.
With and so he's got three. Years he's the Last
trump that will have in. Office he's hard, nos he
believed in this. Country let's give him some. Support if
he wants to blow up the, Filibuster i'm all for.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
It, well and, AGAIN i wonder if a part of
the play might be all this talk about getting rid
of the filibuster and having individuals Like senator you, know
our adopted senator From, Wisconsin Ron johnson jump on, board
might be a play to try to Get democrats to
come to the table to open things back, up BECAUSE
i can imagine that they would not Want trump to
go and do that because if they do pass The
Save act and shore up our election, Integrity trump is,
(34:01):
right is going to make it incredibly, difficult or it should,
say at least more difficult For democrats to go and
win elections heading in the next.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
Year.
Speaker 15 (34:09):
Yeah, again What i'll say is that if the idea
that we need to be able to keep this rule in,
place because that's all this. Is this is A senate,
rule this is not in the. Constitution the idea is
we should be able to stop the majority from trampling
on the, minority and they even change it because before
you used to actually have to physically stand up and
hold the actual space, Right and then they, said, okay
(34:30):
and then never, mind we'll just do.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
That you have to have sixty.
Speaker 15 (34:32):
Votes now there is again this cat and mouse Game
republicans because we care about order and because we actually
care about, principles like actual values that we can say and,
loyalty these Things democrats have. None the only value that
they actually care about is, power and that used to
(34:53):
be just the far, left but that's become All. Democrats
and so this idea that again you change the rule
if it really, matters and you pass it all change it.
Back BUT i promise you the moment That democrats have
a fifty plus one percent majority in The, senate they
will nuke the filibuster because they don't.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
CARE i agree with all of.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
That ak WHAT i want to see From republicans is
exactly what they're going to do once they knuke the.
FILIBUSTER i could get on board with, THIS i still.
HESITANT i think it really Helps democrats in the long
run more Than. Republicans they're the ones constantly trying to
pass things constantly trying to add, entitlements things like that
that are hard to get rid. Of but if The republicans,
say here's what we're going to. Do we're, gonna you,
(35:34):
know tackle election, security we're going to work on, immigration
we're going to do, this, this.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
And this, immediately THEN i could get on.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Board BUT i don't totally.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Trust them to use the moment.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Effectively the filibuster.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Itself i'm working off of essentially a cheat sheet here
of filibuster. History so between nineteen sixty nine and twenty,
fourteen there have been one hundred and sixty sixty one
exceptions two in super majority. Requirement senate majorities from both
parties have approved carve outs other changes related to executive
(36:07):
branch and judicial, nominations budget reconciliation. Measures even the sixty
vote THRESHOLD I, aka which you mentioned a moment, ago has.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Not always been a defining feature of the.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Filibuster in nineteen seventy, five The senate voted to lower
the threshold from sixty seven votes to sixty as one
response to the demand for reforms in the aftermath Of.
Watergate so, YEAH i mean this whole this whole article
gets into how the filibuster has always been subject to,
revision and even if there's not support for its full,
(36:41):
elimination now there's ample president for further modifications that allow
passage for other. Legislation and, AGAIN i think a lot
of this comes down to these political games that are
being played right now because of the narratives that are
that are, forming and who can, best you, know angle
taking advantage either removing it or keeping it in place
(37:02):
for you, know political.
Speaker 15 (37:03):
EXPEDIENCY i would just, AGAIN i would even ask everyone
at this, table do you believe that there's a world
that exists that if, today right Now democrats had fifty
one votes in The, senate that they would not nuke the.
Philibuster the answer to me is going to be, no
because they tried to do. It and the only reason
that they weren't able to nuke the philibuster is Because
Christen cinema And Joe manchin said. No but that part
(37:27):
of The Democrat party's. Gone the only one right now
Is John. Fennerman but that's just. One And i'll be,
HONEST i think that if the pressure was on him
to do all of these, things because he's still he's
still on the, left right he's this progressive, whatever he's
going to fall with them and say, no this is
going to be too. Good we have to Help america
(37:48):
in whatever, way, possible shape or form that they want to.
Do and so that's that's to, me, again what time is?
It what are we holding on to? Do we not
really think that If democrats get back in, power they
won't nuke The, philibus pack The Supreme, court open up the,
borders codify all these horrible laws that they've been pushing
for that the philibuster is held. BACK i just don't
think that they're in that moment anymore that they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Stop that's Where i'm.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
At earlier this, week my answer would have been that
earlier this, week my opinion was That democrats were too
scared to do it on their own because in the
past they've been too scared to go and do it
on their.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
OWN i don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Anymore i'm with you now That i've spent more time
with this and bringing in The mansion cinema aspect of.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It i'm with you On fetterman as.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Well and we're just in completely uncharted territory in terms
of the way That democrats have just dug their heels
in on nothing but total. Opposition if they have the
opportunity to nuke, it get rid of, it and move
forward on their own, agenda just to try to Paint,
trump as you, know as a, tyrant as they've been,
doing they absolutely. Will and to that, point let me
wrap up this hour before well talk more about. This coming,
(38:54):
up we are going to have a special guest joining
us here in just a moment On Twin Cities News.
Talk but this Is James's carville on a podcast talking
about this very issue when What democrats will do if
they were to retain power In.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
CONGRESS i want to talk.
Speaker 20 (39:09):
To Just Chief Justice, roberts Just, toledo Just, Bared Just,
kavanaugh just Gorsh. ARSAGE i might be forgetting. One i'm
gonna tell you what's going to. HAPPEN A democrat is
going to be elected in twenty twenty. Eight you know,
THAT i know that he's gonna be A Democratic, house
(39:30):
gonna be A Democratic. Senator The democratic president is going
to announce a Special Transition Advisory committee on the reform
of The Supreme court that we could have our third
branch of government has lost the faith and Trusted american,
people and as, President i'm going to do anything.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Along he's going to point.
Speaker 20 (39:52):
A blue ribbon Maybe Judge looty in The dean of
the you, know just the usual, suspect all, right and
to recommend that the number Of Supreme court justices go
from nine to.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Thirteen that's going to happen to. People that's going to
happen to. You they're going to. Win they're going to
do some blue.
Speaker 20 (40:12):
Ribbon panel of distinguished jurists and they are going to recommend,
thirteen and A Democratic senate And house going to pass.
It and The democratic president is don't decide it because
they have to do an intervention so we can have
A Supreme court that The american people trusting. You so
(40:33):
just keep that in the bag of your. Mind AND
i would bet a lot of money if that's what's
going to.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Happen talking about it, again what are you?
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Doing?
Speaker 10 (40:44):
Democrats they have what's called The trump derangement.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Problem have you heard about that?
Speaker 11 (40:49):
Problem
Don't forget Democrats always accuse Republicans of what they do.
The Mask of the Red Death is about a prince
who throws a giant party inside the walls of his
palace while sickness rages outside the palace.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Doesn't that sound more like Gavin Newsom? Yeah, it really does.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
As a matter of fact, there were several people in
the midst of the controversy, and it was earlier this
week and I completely missed it, and we'll revisit it
here in just a moment where Trump had thrown a
Halloween party and that was themed on The Great Gatsby,
and I was unaware that this had actually erupted into
an online controversy. It was only yesterday when I was
(00:51):
doing prep for the show, after we or after I
found the clip of Governor Tim Walls when he said this,
and i'll replay it here in just a moment that
I went back and realized, oh, the Democrats were trying
to make a big deal about this Great gats beat
and party. And then this morning I just shared with
you this piece from cavang and the Minnesota Star Tribune
(01:12):
here on Twin City's News Talk on Freedom Friday, from
the six to five to one Carpet, Next Day Install Studios,
Trump's Great Gatsby moment, partying it up while Americans Go Hungry.
I have a clip from Speaker Johnson where he was
actually asked about this in a press conference earlier this
week and gave a great answer and one again.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll get to this as well in just a moment, but.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The first of the podcasting Dynamic Duo is in studio.
Grace Keating from American Experiment, the American Experiment podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Good Morning, good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know that you're a fan of literature. I am
you a great Gatsby fan?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yes, I do. I just reread that book this year.
I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How did you feel about the Leonardo DiCaprio film, Oh,
I really liked it.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I've seen two of the movie adaptations. I remember liking
different things about each of them. I mean, he's such
a good Gatsby, you can't argue. And just the pageantry
of the whole movie.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I really enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And the famous meme now of him with the champagne and.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Can't be that we got a good meme out of
the movie. What more do you want?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
In Sydney Sweeney's meme. We'll talk about that again when
Catherine joins us in studio. Were you aware that the
Democrats were making a big deal about this Gatsby party
earlier this week?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No, I was a little focused on the shutdown personally, so.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
When I went online because Walls made this comment, let
me play for you the clip.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The clip again.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
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.
(02:45):
And again I don't know for what it's worth. My
pro tip to the president of is, don't hold great
Gatsby parties on the night before. You're going to punish
people for being hungry. It is not a sin to
be poor.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh gosh, it's so.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It is so I roll inducing, which is exactly what
Gregs just did in studio. He has a tell it
was right in that moment where he pauses before he
teased it up to do his little his little line
about Gatsby, and he.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Had that locked and loaded.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, he was ready to go. But again
that was yesterday. That controversy was earlier this week, so
he's even late to the game. Regarding the less criticism,
which they had completely moved off of, I mean that
whole Gatsby argument has gone the same route as the.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
East Wing ballroom expansion, which.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I comp really forgot about until yesterday too, and they
couldn't just completely just let it go.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's all gone now, it doesn't matter anymore. Good morning, Catherine,
Good morning. How are we doing this morning?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
How are you well? How familiar are you with a
great Gatsby?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I was kind of on the spark.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Note side of things, But.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I think it mostly this editorial that I read just
at the at the end of last hour, and if
you missed to be sure to check out the podcast.
It is such another I'm gonna repeat myself, but it's
such a great example of you know, when it comes
to Democrats again, this could have been a Scooby Doo
themed party and it wouldn't have mattered.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They would have complained about it. But if he is
so evil and awful and bad.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Why do you have to spend this much time focusing
on something like a Halloween party that was pre planned
long before Democrats went to and shut the government down.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, like that's the best you've got.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
The article is also just like dripping in the elitism
that this person is criticizing.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
It's so funny. She's like, I.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Think she's making these wonderful literary ties that are really
I'm like, last look, I Greg Gatsby.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I did I read it? I read it. I think
middle school.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
I mean, this isn't the most incredible critique of I've
ever seen, but it's just the elitism.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Speaker Johnson was asked about this earlier in the week.
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
We talk about those let's screen between between.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know, zebrast, what the Republicans are doing?
Speaker 10 (05:05):
What about the split's screen?
Speaker 9 (05:06):
Another fact that the Trump.
Speaker 11 (05:07):
Administration is administering only.
Speaker 10 (05:09):
Part of the SNAP program while President Trump is having
a yajianquarty at Laula Land.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I reject the premise of the question. Let me talk
about SNAP.
Speaker 12 (05:18):
Okay, By the way, the president had an annual Halloween
theme party every year at Mari A Lago that's what
he went back to his obligatory tradition, and I just
discount what you're trying to do there.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The SNAP benefit is very important question.
Speaker 12 (05:33):
The White House has bent over backwards, as we've recounted
here every morning, to make sure that Americans pain is
mitigated as much as possible. Were reduced as much as possible,
so we got the troops paid. They made creative solutions
for that. The WICK funding for women, infants, and children,
and SNAP came to a legal crossroads because the legal
analysis said that you could not use the contingency fund
(05:54):
if the underlying fund was not flowing. I explained, I've
explained that into detail here multiple times to courts dis
So what did the president do and good faith showing
again that he's willing to bend over backwards to help
the American people when Democrats are not. He went to
the court and said, fine, to show me how to
do it, because we don't see the path. And so
the courts have ordered that they filed a brief yesterday
(06:16):
or some response yesterday in the court that they they'll
give as much as is there. Remember, the contingency Fund
only has a roughly five billion and it costs roughly
nine billion for a month of snap benefits. So I
think the arrangement is theyre going to give half at
least half to everyone. But here's the problem. It's very complex,
is that it's administered through the states, and you have
to recalculate all the allocations and how the checks go out.
(06:37):
You can't just flip a switch and do that. It's
a lot of work that goes into it. So I
can tell you that the President is dialed in on this.
The President is trying to protect and cover the American people,
as he always does. The President is trying to get
the government opened again, and the Republicans have voted fourteen
times to do it, and the Democrats have voted fourteen
times not to do it, to keep the government closed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's the story, Speaker, Mike Johnson does not get enough credit.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
I was just thinking that that was a perfect response.
I mean, that's the crucial point is that Trump has
done everything to mitigate the damage that the Democrats are
doing in Congress, but they just they can't blame anyone
except Trump. It's their one thing. But Mike Johnson, speaking
of taking the bait, he never takes the bait it's incredible.
More people need to use that. I reject the premise line.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
So many people get lost in the weeds just accepting
whatever weird question the Democrats and liberals and leftist media
have set up for them.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I really really appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
But I also love that you can hear in his
voice that like you can just hear how tired he is.
He's like, I've said this two of you guys like
ten times in the last week. I explained it in detail.
We have to go over this again. I just add
so much to it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
There's an interesting there's an interesting side conversation that could
be had with all of this in through all of
these controversies that we talk about on the show on
a weekly basis, what you guys cover on the American
Experiment podcast, and we played these clips from Johnson, the
points that both of you guys made, Sidney Sweeney's interview
(08:08):
with GQ, and how she's so so eloquently and you know,
very quietly just handled that GQ interviewer. But it really
is helping individuals when it comes to facing these debates
on a daily basis, because for the longest time, prior
(08:28):
to social media, you know, not everybody got in positions
like this. You weren't online having to go and argue
your points, trying to go and make cogent responses to
ridiculous allegations. It's a difficult thing for people to deal
with that have never faced that type of political appusition
and debate, and now people are and what we're seeing
(08:51):
are these great examples of just how conservatives are handling
these these situations so well.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You can learn from Mike Johnson, you can.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Learn from Sidney Sweeney, of all people, I assume she's
a conservative, but honestly, I don't care. I love the
fact that she just stays a political and doesn't take
the bait on this stuff, which is something that a
lot of people can absolutely go in and learn from.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
And that's exactly what I got from her interview, which
should have been the goal.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She say, I'm staying out of it.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
If I have an issue I want to speak on,
then you'll hear about it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
But this isn't it.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
That was the smartest thing for her to do. And
other actors and actresses should, you know, take a page out.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Of her book.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Yeah, I don't think she's a conservative. Johnny, You've probably
never seen youph you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, well I've seen no, I've never seen that.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
You know, it doesn't give conservative, I would say, vibes
doesn't scream.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Conservative doesn't scream certainly not in the clothing department from
what I've heard, precisely.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Okay, So however, I think she feels the she feels
the waves turning, and people are appreciating more and more
when people like her and people like Mike Johnson don't
fall for the traps that people in the media transept
for them.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So this was rather a Sarah Diptus. I was not
aware of this.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So I have a couple of talkbacks that I want
to play regarding Governor Tim Walls and his comments. But
in the middle of when these talkbacks were rolling in,
Liz Collin from Alpha News posted about this, and I
had not heard. Let's go to a Judy on the
iHeartRadio app talkback brought to you by Lyndall Realty.
Speaker 13 (10:18):
Governor Wallace is really going to be out there talking
about a great Gatsby Party. Oh my gosh, man, you're
out there making multiple charges on your state credit card
that is paid for by taxes that I actually had
to pay, so you could sit and buy fifteen thousand
dollars worth of flowers. I mean, who takes this man? Seriously?
Look at all these people. The fraud is everywhere. Oh sorry,
(10:41):
that just set me off today.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I had not heard about this and I'm looking at Yeah,
people in Governor Jim Wallas's office spent fifteen thousand dollars
on flour and furniture using state credit cards and split
the purchases into two transactions to avoid the five thousand
dollars spending limit. And this comes on top of a
piece that I've been holding on from your guy, from
you guys from American Experiment, wherein I think it was
(11:04):
John feelin A highlighted what the four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars legal bill that came attached to his congressional testimony.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He he is the height of hypocrisy here in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He really is.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
He is the poster child for the pot killing Wait
is it the pot called the black Yeah, he's that.
And by the way, you can vote for Governor Wallace's
four hundred and thirty thousand dollars legal bills at Golden
Turkey and then dot Com if you want.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That to be our Golden Turkey of the Year.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Well played, very good plug well played, nicely packed, nicely done.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
That's my COM's training coming through.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was better than my promotion of the radio show
on your podcast this week. I gotta mention, Oh, week
we covered it. Oh did you okay?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So we helped you out?
Speaker 14 (11:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I completely. It's like, do we ever even say where
I was from? I don't think that we just assume
everybody knows who I am?
Speaker 15 (11:50):
Right that.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It is crazy that all of the it's everything happening
in Governor Walls's office and Peggy Flanigans for that matter,
with the with the inability to run a.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Well oiled machine.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
They have all of these these awful things going on
that they were called out in that report, and it's
just so indicative of what's happening in our state. They
can't run their own small office, and yet they're in.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Charge of the funding for our entire state.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Coming up, we're going to dive into the filibuster.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I have a clip here from our adopted senator from
Wisconsin and some clips from Trump yesterday and on the show,
I had said that, you know, because I'm of the
opinion that Democrats want Trump to go and nuke the
filibuster for if and when they go and take control
so they can do whatever it is they want to
do and not be held responsible for doing it themselves.
Trump made some really good arguments yesterday as to why
(12:43):
Republicans need to do it now, and so does Ron Johnson.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We'll play those coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We'll hear from our in studio guests on a Freedom
Friday again, Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating from the American
Experiment podcast, and we'll have Akkamara, RNC committeemen and business
owner joining us right after seven thirty, plus more of
your comments from the iHeartRadio app. Next on Twinsday's News
Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM
point five.
Speaker 10 (13:11):
The last reported death by starvation in the US happened
in nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I can't be the only one that immediately envisioned the
star in the rainbow.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
The more you know.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
When she said that, Yes, twin City's News Talk AM
eleven thirty one oh three five FM from the sixty
five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios. Those
other voices that you heard along with mind john Justice
would be Catherine Johnson from American Experiment. Good morning, Grace
Keepney from American Experiment. Hello, follow her on next she
needs followers.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No, it's okay, I don't post. She won't accept my
follow you.
Speaker 16 (13:52):
Oh I haven't jet kept my fill I'm sorry. I'm
sorry you did you accept mine? Because I would have
accepted yours. I was, I was. I was Grace's first
follow I know it's right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
We'll treasure that memory forever.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No, such an absolute honor.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
I yeah, eight following one follower. I literally got flagged
for suspicious activity by Twitter yesterday when I logged in,
because like they considered that log in unusually.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I know what he was it clearly because you just
called it Twitter. There's there's that.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's fair. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It is a Freedom Friday. You're on an off topic
comments all morning long. This one's going to go to
uh Sam and the Master Control Booth.
Speaker 17 (14:34):
So Freedom Friday question. I'm thinking about buying a g
Grand Cherokee four by e. Can somebody explain to me
how the four by E system works? I looked it
up a little bit, googled it, and it says that
the key part stands for Electric Hybrid a little motor
in the transmission. Apparently, I think you get like twenty
five miles on electrically.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That seems kind of worthless.
Speaker 17 (14:56):
Anybody got any reviews on this?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, first of this one, it seems as if you
figured out what for by e mens. This is a
little off the beaten path to do car talk. But Sam,
I know you drive around a jeep. Would you care
to respond to him?
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 18 (15:08):
Uh, not wrong for this particular hybrid. For jeeps anyway,
they get about twenty five miles on a full charge,
which might seem kind of worthless. However, if you're doing
a lot of local driving, then it actually works out
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 18 (15:23):
On highway driving, it's a lot less. It's probably about
I don't know sixty percent of that. So just keep
that in mind. If you do a lot of highway driving,
it's probably you're not going to see much return on it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Wow, it's the return again though, the more you know. Yeah,
right there, Thank you, Sam, I appreciate that.
Speaker 19 (15:38):
Let's go here, Donald Trump, Okay, I get it. You
can have a party. Can you think about optics? You
gave the communist cannon fodder? Why do you do that?
That's not very bright. That's pretty tone dead. I don't
care if you have a party, but this is not
(15:59):
the right to to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
There was a time, and it was a while ago,
where I used to feel that way. I just don't anymore.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what Trump does.
Speaker 20 (16:10):
He could.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no other simple way to put the other way
to put it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It just simply doesn't matter if he wants to have
a gat Toby party at the White House. Anybody who's
rational enough knows it's Halloween themed. They picked the theme,
they went with it. They probably had no idea because
that was an incredibly elaborate party. As a matter of fact,
I can guarantee they had no idea they would be
(16:34):
in the middle of a shutdown and that moment, snap
benefits would be expiring because of Democrats keeping the government
shut down for as long as they did.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It doesn't matter what Trump does.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I was just talking to someone yesterday who has the
same issue you know, with Trump in general, and I
feel the same way. There was a time when I
cared about optics perception. It's part of the game. But
the second you start playing that today in twenty twenty five.
We've already lost to a certain extent to liberals.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Sometimes it helps to like think of the other headline
it could have been. If he canceled the party, they'd
go track down a kid who was supposed to go
to this party and is now devastated, and that would
be the exactly so.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Or they would do the taco Oh Trump always chickens out.
Oh see, he knows how bad this is for the party.
He knows, he understands this is a bad look, and
how devastating that this shutdown is for him, so much
so that he had to cancel this party.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow, look at the Democrats really got him on the ropes. Now,
I just read that I just wrote the headlines.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That was really good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You know, it's almost like they paid me for a reason.
I know, I'm surprised to you sometimes though. This one's
for Grayson Catherine.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Hey John an American Experiment team. I just want to
say I've been listening to the American Experiment podcast. It's
great stuff. The only thing I wish is sometimes I
could send it in talkbacks like I do with John
to the team there. And also I wish there was
more you know, I don't know if the if they
could make more, but they did, I'd listened to it.
(18:09):
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
There you go, American Experiment Team.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Thanks man, Oh my gosh, thank you for listening. That
was amazing.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
I do want I want a talkback system. I love
the talkbacks.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I know.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
The only version we have of that is comments. We
you know, we get a lot of YouTube comments. We
read every single one. We love reading them. But I
wan't to have like a live version of that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, well, you know, I mean the way technology is today,
just give out your phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
People can leave you voicemails.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, you know, it's kind of unlimited, and you can
just plug in and just share the share the voicemails.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
That Grace would get a bunch of calls about her
eyebrows man apparently.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, that's my clem to fame best in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's about time I had a Oh. I also want
to mention it it's too late now long too late
for me right right.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
If I ever had another pet, I'm gonna name him
long Pause. I decided that earlier this morning.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's like the funniest pandem of ever.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Seriously.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
If I hadn't, if we hadn't named Artemis Artemis, I
think long Pause would have been the runner up. But
you know, oh see, I'll phrase it this way, I'll
make it this way. It's people will figure it out.
But I've already opened my mouth. There are some social
media platforms wherein you can call from the social media platform.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Did you guys know this to.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
The person, So like your phone is inside of the
platform and somebody can make a call through the particular one.
I had a listener that was like desperately trying to
get a hold of me earlier this week this week, well,
and they were very concerned about something and they weren't
getting answers and they were hoping that I could.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
So my phone kept ringing and I'm like, why is
my why is that? Why is that platform calling me?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And then I and then I realized, like, oh, there
was a you know, so we had a very nice exchange.
They were just having difficulty with an issue, and I
was like, yeah, I don't typically go and communicate with
listeners in that fashion through my personal phone in the
middle of while I'm watching you know, Halloween, you know,
baking challenge.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
With glimpse behind the.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Curtains, which was fantastic this last season.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
By the way, I just need to tell you, all right,
here's a quick clip from Trump. We have Ak Kamara
joining us in studio coming up here in just a moment.
I also want to get to this clip from our
adopted senator from Wisconsin talking about the filibuster. The Democrat
election wins have complicated the shutdown talks and also this
whole you know, this whole debate now with the filibuster,
(20:29):
I think is actually keeping the Democrats from reopening the
government because they're seeing how this plays out, and so
our conservatives. So let me play you just a quick
clip from Trump and we'll get to your thoughts and
the thoughts of our guests this morning as ak arrives.
And it was really this one and what Trump wanted
to do that started to push me further and further
(20:50):
towards nuking the filibuster.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
But can you.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Imagine when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All
we want is voter ide. You go to a grocery store,
you have to give ID. You go to a gas station,
you give ID, But for voting. They want no voter id.
There's only for one reason, because they cheat. We would
pass that. In fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
On the free iHeartRadio Wire, R and C.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Committeman in businessman Ak Kamar making his way upstairs will
be joining us in studio shortly here on Twin Cities

(22:19):
Play Donald trump again from. Yesterday i'll share this. One
this is this is kind of a prequel to the
clip here that he or or should say the sequel
to the. Clip but talking about VOTER id and what
he wants to do in nuking the.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Filibuster can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against VOTER.
Id all we want is VOTER. Id you go to
a grocery, store you have to GIVE. Id you go
to a gas, station you GIVE. Id but for, voting
they want no VOTER. Id there's only for one, reason
because they. Cheat we would pass that in fifteen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Minutes now here's more of What trump had to say
on explaining why he wants to terminate the.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Filibuster Member, republicans regardless of the humor, shutdown That democrats
will terminate the philibuster the first chance they. Get they
will pack The Supreme court of The United, states pick
up two. States that's a lot of, states and add
at least eight electoral. Votes their two objectors are. Gone
remember cinema and. Mansion they're. Gone don't be, weak don't be. Stupid, republicans, fight, fight, fight.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Win win.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
Win we will immediately end the extortioner, shutdown get all
of our agenda, pass and make life so good For
americans that these Deranged democrat politicians will never again have
the chance to Destroy. America they try to destroy your. Country,
republicans you will rue the day that you didn't terminate the.
(23:43):
Philibuster be, tough be, smart and. Win this is much
bigger than the. Shutdown this is the survival of our.
Country terminate the, filibuster and let's live the great life
that this country is.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Capable he makes an interesting, point is one THAT i
hadn't thought of until my wife actually brought it. Up
melinda brought it up, yesterday Of christian cinema And Joe
manchin not being a part of the equation. ANYMORE i
do want to Play Wisconsin Senator Ron johnson here in
just a, moment BUT i want to get your. THOUGHTS i, Know,
grace you had a visible reaction on. This did you
(24:22):
want to comment on What trump had to.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Say it's not an intelligent reaction at. ALL i JUST
i get so.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Distracted he's making great, points AND i get so distracted
by his speaking cadence and His trump.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Style it's just such a.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Gift i'm so happy this is the first year of
his presidency and we have so many more years to
come of speeches like.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That it makes me so.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Happy, YEAH i you, know you can't help but love
him and love what he's. Saying he's so fired. Up
but at the same, TIME i just question if it's
not going to be used so much more By democrats
Than republicans in the.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Future so this is where the gamble comes into and
yesterday And i've gone back and forth because there's not
a real clear answer on this.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Issue it really does come down to a.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Gamble and When trump talks about and we've had some
talkbacks that have rolled in And i'll get to these
here in just a, moment When trump talks about going
shoring up voter, integrity cutting off mail and voting only
in the ways that you should. Be when it comes
to those that, are you, know either incapable of going
out on election day or you, know military serving, OVERSEAS
(25:32):
i know there are other.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Reasons i'm just laying out laying laying out a.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Few when you you, know make it a requirement to
show proof OF. Id you take away the ability as
best as we possibly can to bring about. Integrity trump
makes a very very good point that it would be
increasingly difficult For democrats to go and win, elections in
which case then you wouldn't have to worry about them
(25:56):
going and using the lack of a filipbus to go
and undo a bunch of things if they don't have.
Power we'll go into a bit more of a deep
dive on this BECAUSE i have an article here and
it really sort of opened up my eyes to how
fluid the filibuster really is and how you can go
and sort of change it at your, will eliminated and
(26:17):
bring it, back which underscores the fact that this is
being used, for you, know political gamesmanship by both. Parties
before we talk with Ak kamar and get his thoughts on,
this here is our adopted senator From, wisconsin and this
was another one WHERE i really respect What Ron johnson
has to. Say you, know he is a very even
keeled senator in my, opinion incredibly, pragmatic and when he's
(26:40):
making comments like, this my ears tend to prick.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Up do you, agree what do you make of blowing
up the.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Filibuster i've always been a big supporter of the.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
Filibuster it has Stopped america from going down.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
To socialist path in. Decades but The president is.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Right AND i told him il at this point in,
time he's one hundred percent Correc The democrats purged the
last two senators who held out and support the, filbuster
so we know they have no respect for the. FILBUSTER
i don't think there'll be A Democrat senate candidate running for.
Office it won't pledge to again end the. Filibuster so
we need to strike first. Now when The democrats eliminate the,
(27:18):
filibuster it'll all be about their maintenance of. Power as
A president laid, out there will be more senators packing
The Supreme. Court it will all be about their acquisition
and maintenance of.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Power if we're.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
To do, it it will be for the benefit of
The american. People we'll further secure, border we'll secure our.
Elections you, KNOW i would LOVE i would love to
sit down With democrats to repair the damage done by
A bomacare and transition to a system that actually, works
rather than continue to throw hundreds of billions of dollars
in a completely failed. System where we're having a hearing
(27:49):
today in my, Committee i'm assessing the damage Of.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Obamacare If democrats.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Would actually acknowledge, that admit what a miserable failure Of bombacare,
is we could fix That american. Public so, AGAIN i
HATE i hate the fact That democrats are gonna blow
up a, filibuster but they. Will we have to acknowledge
that awful, reality AND i think we probably need to act.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
FIRST i would be totally on board with getting rid
of the filibuster using the nuclear option if it were
a guarantee that The republicans in The house And senate
would get a lot of The trump stuff, passed The Save,
act everything he's signed getting an executive order For if
(28:35):
that was, guaranteed then, yes absolutely nuke the.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Filibuster business OWNER r AND C Committeeman Ak, Kamara good.
Speaker 15 (28:45):
Morning what's that? Buddy you, know it's a beautiful. MORNING
i hate the fact that, we you, know had to fall,
back but we didn't have enough political capital to not
implement this terrible daylight saving.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Time please don't start talking about it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
AGAIN i do that just is just for cat.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Drop by the, way we still start talking about it,
again we need we need that.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Drop i'm already on. It well you're on that real, Quick.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Ak BEFORE i get your, THOUGHTS i want to drop
in one more talkback relating to the, filibuster and then
we'll get your thoughts on.
Speaker 21 (29:15):
It good, Morning john's Covering.
Speaker 19 (29:18):
Pomonamia.
Speaker 21 (29:20):
UH i have one question about the. Millibuster if they
can nuke, it why don't they nuked take care of
everything that they need to, pass pass all the appointments
that are, waiting getting all work, done and then. Reinstated
(29:40):
is that.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Possible it is possible from from What i've, Read i'm
actually quite surprised the filibuster has never been set in.
STONE i have a list here of all of the
different times that we've we've tweaked. IT i think there's
a matter of precedent that is concerning for individuals to just, go,
oh we're going to remove, it pass all our, stuff
(30:01):
or putting it back in, again because it's kind of
the same. Thing The democrats could just go and do
the same thing when they go and get into, Power
so it doesn't really change the dynamics all that. Much But, Ak,
kamara nuke the, philibuster keep the. Filibuster move on to
talk about daylight savings.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Time what are your thoughts On.
Speaker 15 (30:17):
Yeah we definitely needed to nuke the. FILIBUSTER i made
a video about. This you can follow me On Exit
real Ak kamara also over on TikTok at Ak kamara
AND i broke it, down, like, listen this idea that
we live in a society where democrats respect the rights
Of senate rules And congressional rules of decorum and not
(30:37):
trampling all over the. Minority that time doesn't exist, anymore
and that's the. Reality we have to understand what time it.
Is democrats are in a position where they will constantly
lie on. Everything if you go ON, x it can
be a little bit black piled right now because every
senator is. LYING i don't care if it's supposed to
(30:57):
be someone that's more. Moderate all of them are lying about.
Everything so the moment that they have the opportunity to
kill the, filibuster they will because they do not care
about the, korum they do not care about rules of.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Order that's not what time it.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Is SO i agree That president With President, Trump republicans
in The senate have lived in this time where they
think that these things, matter and that precedent. Matters wake
up and realize where we're at in this. Country if
we do not do if we don't neot the Filibuster
President trump's entire agenda that he, codified that he passed
(31:36):
through executive order that needs to be, codified that's not
going to. Happen and so if he does not deliver
for The american people right, now we are going to
lose power in twenty six and then The house will be,
neutered and then The american people will Blame republicans as
they did On.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Tuesday that's what.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
Happened like make no, mistake it's Because republicans haven't been
able to deliver on their. Promises it's because of The
democrats and they're not even trying to negotiate in good.
Faith but, yeah we need a nuke the, filibuster pass
and Codify President trump's executive orders to Make america great.
Again and at the end of all of, this If
democrats learn their, lesson then we can maybe go back
to an era of.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Decorum what'll be interesting to. SEE i want to add
a new wrinkle to. This, yeah because If democrats begin
to believe That trump is going to or that The
republicans are going to go in nuke the, filibuster and
they believe that THE gop will call a lessons pass this.
Stuff how quickly Will democrats then come to the table
(32:34):
be like, whoa, whoa, whoa let's get the government back
open again to keep them to prevent them from nuking the.
Filibuster it's an angle on this THAT i haven't heard
talked about, yet BUT i can absolutely see that happening if,
suddenly now The Republicans because here's a quick. Clip this, is, Uh,
tommy do we Do Tubervilla? Tubberville every single TIME i
Say Tuberville? Tuberville, okay do you guys you Go? Tubberville,
(32:56):
okay il a coin about to say you're the deciding. Vote,
Grace now you just threw a monciation.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Of the situation On COM's Professional all, Right.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Let's here Is Senator Tommy tuberville on his thoughts on the.
Speaker 14 (33:12):
Filibuster, okay if we need to bust, it let's bust.
It let's knock it down to fifty one and let
The senate know. That, listen the power needs to go
to the president and let him get something.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Done if we.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Don't we're gonna lose our. Country it's gonna be over.
With and so he's got three. Years he's the Last
trump that will have in. Office he's hard, nos he
believed in this. Country let's give him some. Support if
he wants to blow up the, Filibuster i'm all for.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
It, well and, AGAIN i wonder if a part of
the play might be all this talk about getting rid
of the filibuster and having individuals Like senator you, know
our adopted senator From, Wisconsin Ron johnson jump on, board
might be a play to try to Get democrats to
come to the table to open things back, up BECAUSE
i can imagine that they would not Want trump to
go and do that because if they do pass The
Save act and shore up our election, Integrity trump is,
(34:01):
right is going to make it incredibly, difficult or it should,
say at least more difficult For democrats to go and
win elections heading in the next.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
Year.
Speaker 15 (34:09):
Yeah, again What i'll say is that if the idea
that we need to be able to keep this rule in,
place because that's all this. Is this is A senate,
rule this is not in the. Constitution the idea is
we should be able to stop the majority from trampling
on the, minority and they even change it because before
you used to actually have to physically stand up and
hold the actual space, Right and then they, said, okay
(34:30):
and then never, mind we'll just do.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
That you have to have sixty.
Speaker 15 (34:32):
Votes now there is again this cat and mouse Game
republicans because we care about order and because we actually
care about, principles like actual values that we can say and,
loyalty these Things democrats have. None the only value that
they actually care about is, power and that used to
(34:53):
be just the far, left but that's become All. Democrats
and so this idea that again you change the rule
if it really, matters and you pass it all change it.
Back BUT i promise you the moment That democrats have
a fifty plus one percent majority in The, senate they
will nuke the filibuster because they don't.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
CARE i agree with all of.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
That ak WHAT i want to see From republicans is
exactly what they're going to do once they knuke the.
FILIBUSTER i could get on board with, THIS i still.
HESITANT i think it really Helps democrats in the long
run more Than. Republicans they're the ones constantly trying to
pass things constantly trying to add, entitlements things like that
that are hard to get rid. Of but if The republicans,
say here's what we're going to. Do we're, gonna you,
(35:34):
know tackle election, security we're going to work on, immigration
we're going to do, this, this.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
And this, immediately THEN i could get on.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Board BUT i don't totally.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Trust them to use the moment.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Effectively the filibuster.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Itself i'm working off of essentially a cheat sheet here
of filibuster. History so between nineteen sixty nine and twenty,
fourteen there have been one hundred and sixty sixty one
exceptions two in super majority. Requirement senate majorities from both
parties have approved carve outs other changes related to executive
(36:07):
branch and judicial, nominations budget reconciliation. Measures even the sixty
vote THRESHOLD I, aka which you mentioned a moment, ago has.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Not always been a defining feature of the.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Filibuster in nineteen seventy, five The senate voted to lower
the threshold from sixty seven votes to sixty as one
response to the demand for reforms in the aftermath Of.
Watergate so, YEAH i mean this whole this whole article
gets into how the filibuster has always been subject to,
revision and even if there's not support for its full,
(36:41):
elimination now there's ample president for further modifications that allow
passage for other. Legislation and, AGAIN i think a lot
of this comes down to these political games that are
being played right now because of the narratives that are
that are, forming and who can, best you, know angle
taking advantage either removing it or keeping it in place
(37:02):
for you, know political.
Speaker 15 (37:03):
EXPEDIENCY i would just, AGAIN i would even ask everyone
at this, table do you believe that there's a world
that exists that if, today right Now democrats had fifty
one votes in The, senate that they would not nuke the.
Philibuster the answer to me is going to be, no
because they tried to do. It and the only reason
that they weren't able to nuke the philibuster is Because
Christen cinema And Joe manchin said. No but that part
(37:27):
of The Democrat party's. Gone the only one right now
Is John. Fennerman but that's just. One And i'll be,
HONEST i think that if the pressure was on him
to do all of these, things because he's still he's
still on the, left right he's this progressive, whatever he's
going to fall with them and say, no this is
going to be too. Good we have to Help america
(37:48):
in whatever, way, possible shape or form that they want to.
Do and so that's that's to, me, again what time is?
It what are we holding on to? Do we not
really think that If democrats get back in, power they
won't nuke The, philibus pack The Supreme, court open up the,
borders codify all these horrible laws that they've been pushing
for that the philibuster is held. BACK i just don't
think that they're in that moment anymore that they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Stop that's Where i'm.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
At earlier this, week my answer would have been that
earlier this, week my opinion was That democrats were too
scared to do it on their own because in the
past they've been too scared to go and do it
on their.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
OWN i don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Anymore i'm with you now That i've spent more time
with this and bringing in The mansion cinema aspect of.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It i'm with you On fetterman as.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Well and we're just in completely uncharted territory in terms
of the way That democrats have just dug their heels
in on nothing but total. Opposition if they have the
opportunity to nuke, it get rid of, it and move
forward on their own, agenda just to try to Paint,
trump as you, know as a, tyrant as they've been,
doing they absolutely. Will and to that, point let me
wrap up this hour before well talk more about. This coming,
(38:54):
up we are going to have a special guest joining
us here in just a moment On Twin Cities News.

It and The democratic president is don't decide it because
they have to do an intervention so we can have
A Supreme court that The american people trusting. You so
(40:33):
just keep that in the bag of your. Mind AND
i would bet a lot of money if that's what's
going to.

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.
