Speaker 1 (00:03):
Those five gentlemen that came to my four or five
they came to my house that time. They were talking
about a moon that was around Saturn or Jupiter that
they'd done some testing with that they that they think
would be capable of something. And the moon was larger
than our Earth, of course. But there's a moon that's
larger than our Earth. Yeah, around Jupiter or Sad or not.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
That doesn't make any sense. I don't think that's correct.
Maybe I'm wrong, check it out.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
No, no, no, no, there's no moons that are larger than
a planet.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Now, I don't think so our planet.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't believe that's true. Circles around it. I don't
know anyway that is that accurate.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Do I not know about this?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, but there's no I don't believe there's a moon
out there that's larger than our planet.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
These guys seem to think that something could travel from there,
and it was the quantum physics. After talking to that admiral,
you know, it makes me wonder if there is something
in these deep ocean areas that they'll cliche. We know
more about the surface the Moon than we do the
surface the ocean floor in some areas I think it's
true because well.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
That is a representative of Tim bird Chet. On the
most recent Joe Rogan podcast, we have a few more
eclips of his to share. On a Freedom Friday, Twin
Cities News Talking eleven thirty and one O three five FM.
In studio this morning, we have Grace keating from a
center of the American Experiment.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Good morning, Grace, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
I want to give just a real quick opportunity. You
guys do have an event coming up in July. I
know we're a little, you know, a little ways out,
but you're excited about it.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Yes, we are doing a huge celebration of America's two
hundred and fiftieth birthday on Saturday, July fifth. We will
have more details coming soon, but save the date. It
is going to be a huge day and we're so
excited to celebrate with you all.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
You guys.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
I'm not going to say that I'm working on anything
for that or working inventors.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I might be working on something for that, So.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Because I might be, I might be a part of
it those yet I might be a part of that.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So I'm saying just maybe it's.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Perhaps representative Max Rymer his martingdal this morning. That's good Max,
good to see him.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
He's not writing I got I got an event that
I can okay, okay, feel free. So May twenty first,
at six pm at Split Rocks in Wyoming, what we're
doing is we're doing a save the State event. These
are house members who had really close elections.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
So come on up to Wyoming, forty.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Five minutes north if you're in the Twin Cities, come
listen to these candidates, support them, adopt them because they
will determine the fate of the state in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Ak Kamara, R and C. Committee Man, you got anything
you want to promote?

Speaker 8 (02:30):
Nope, just you know, look at the UFO files with
discerning eye and.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Don't just flush it down the toilet.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Right What would make you go or we'll make you
believe that aliens are real? What could they disclose that
would actually make you think differently?

Speaker 4 (02:50):
If you do think differently.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Now, as we were talking, they have released the first
batch of information. We believe this is going to be
a slow rollout of whatever these potential beings are, whether
they are inter dimensional beings, whether these are more of
a spiritual nature, whether or not they're coming from as
representative Tim Burchet said, you know moons that are hiding
behind existing planets, right, what would make you go and say, oh,

(03:15):
I guess this is I guess this is reel.

Speaker 9 (03:17):
Good Morning John, and crue Happy Friday. I don't think
anything would make me go wow. The only thing I'm
watching for coming down from the sky is Jesus himself,
and that is all we should be worried about.

Speaker 10 (03:28):
Are you ready?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I think that would pretty much make people go wow.

Speaker 8 (03:33):
Let me just say this as a born again Christian
who believes in the Gospel of Jesus and believes that
he literally was the son of God. He died for
our sins, resurrected and that's actually how we obtain faith
as through belief in him. I don't think that the
existence of aliens at all discounts That's just like you're saying,
Max at all. Show me in the Bible that says

(03:55):
God only created one planet. I understand that there's this
idea that maybe for us to not completely go off
the rails in so many different aspects of just our
technological you know, I would say lack of innovation back
then you wouldn't explain that there was other things going on.
So I just again, the absence of a thing doesn't

(04:18):
mean it doesn't exist. Now, if the Bible specifically said
or Jesus said, there's one Earth, there's one you know,
species of humans ever created, and there's nothing else beyond here,
then yes, But quite literally, it's not in the Gospel anywhere.
And anyone that says that it is, tell me right
now what the verses tell me right now, and I
will shut up.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
But it doesn't exist because I actually looked really really
deep into us.

Speaker 11 (04:42):
Hey, John, fascinating show for what it's worth. My late
father was in the Coast Guard in the nineteen fifties.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
He was stationed in the Great Lakes.

Speaker 11 (04:51):
And when I was a kid, I used to tell
us that they used to witness crafts coming in and
out of Lake Michigan on occasion. And you know, he
believed in the Hollowork theory.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
But anyways, I'm just passing that on.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Well, you know, I'll tell you what that made, Grace
go Wow, ready for that, let's go.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
I've heard some stories on the Great Legs, I've heard
stories on Lake Superior of unidentified craft and it's out there.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
It's crazy. The Great legs.

Speaker 12 (05:22):
When my uh huh disclosure would be the fact that
the Democrats have been sending the aliens mail in ballots
for many years.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Max, you said you wanted to hear the jokes, so
here you go. I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
The wall moment would be if all of a sudden
we found out that Alf is real so.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
And he's really on this planet. So that's Alf.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
It's a deep that's a deep one there, Grace alf
any familiarity, I got that one.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Okay, you got that reference.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's cats. Good morning John. I was going to ask
or say, what makes me want to go wow?

Speaker 12 (06:00):
But Wow?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Hear more about Ak being probed. Wow, did not probe
For the record, I saw.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I'm worried about that. That's what this came from.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
That's a noisy makes when he's not writing me.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (06:22):
I believe in aliens. I think I would need to
save pilots alien spaceships also, but I don't know if
it's ever going to happen because AI is a thing now,
so we're probably never going to know the truth.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Have a great writing, guys. Yeah, that's the other part
of it too, is that, I mean you you have
to you do have to have a level of faith
and trust in the government that what they're releasing is
is legitimate because of the ability to go and pretty
much manufacture or create whatever it is that you want
to create. I do believe though, that everything that's happening
right now with the Pentagon releasing these previously classified UFO files,

(07:02):
as I read directly off the Chiron on Fox News,
that this is beneficial for Trump and Republicans in the
midterms because especially with young people, because right now you
have just a tremendous amount of a lack of trust
in all of society. It's politicians, it's the government, it's
the news, it's the person next to you.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
You know, it's the movie that's.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Coming out that you don't trust is going to be
any good, and so you're not going to bother to
go see it because you don't want to be disappointed.
And having the federal government release information that has been
such an assumed, closely guarded secret for I mean since
I was born, for crying out loud, presenting it to
the public, and then allowing the public to go and decide,

(07:47):
you know, what they want to believe over in I
think that really benefits Republicans and the Trump administration saying, Hey,
we trust the public enough to be given this level
of transparency over this issue that we've all just speculated
on for decades.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
So I think this is a positive thing.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Yeah, that's really at the heart of this is that
when President Trump was running, he explained that he was
going to declassify a bunch of information.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
And I get it.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
People are still not satisfied with the Epstein rollout.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It seems like people are.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
Mostly satisfied with the JFK assassination files. It's just I
think they were looking for a specific smoking gun, saying
like the CIA one did this and this is the
person that ordered the assassination of the president. But the
point is is that in order to actually rebuild trust,
you have to show all of the warts and all
of the things that the government did to actually misplace

(08:39):
people's trust. Now not blind trust, but this is a
huge step forward to be like, yes, this is what
the government has been hiding from you. Now we are
disclosing information, and now we can move forward.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Here's a little more of representative of Tim Bird chat
on Joe Rogan's podcast this week is.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Around Our World, and he didn't have any other you know,
And then I was on talking about it and somebody
said Tim Burchett says that they're underwater bases, you know,
and then you know, and they had Gates was on
the other day and he was he was briefed. I
just told what I was briefed on. And he was
briefed by a guy that said it was in uniform,

(09:20):
that said that they were breeding, they were capturing people
and breeding them with these aliens, and you know, he
just talked what So, yeah, he was on you can
pull it up. I meant Matt Gates, he talked about it.
He didn't say he believed it. But you know, we
talk about we get briefed on. That's what I'm talking
about the SCIA. Here's part of the problem too. They

(09:41):
bring you information and you go forward with this and
this is so, this is the truth, you know, these
underwater bases whatever, and then they prove it doesn't exist,
and then they just discredit you and they just credit
the whole movement. So that's why I'm very cautious anytime
any Bernie brings me any information or pictures or testimony.
Are you know Third Cousin's recollection.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, that is the disinformation thing is a problem. They'll
tell you some truth and mix it in with some
really kookie stuff, and then you say the kookie stuff
along with it, and the kookie stuff just discredits everything
that's true.

Speaker 14 (10:15):
Good morning, John, great show for what it's worth. I'd
like to add that C. S. Lewis even said that
it's absurd to just flat out assume that humans on
Earth would be the only beings who have had a
relationship with God, and we don't know what else is
out there, and like Kamara said, nowhere in the Bible

(10:38):
discounts this. So just think about that.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Twins City's News Talking eleven thirty one oh three five
FM John Justice along with Representative Max Reimer, we have
Grace keating from Center of the American Experiment. In the
American Experiment that's out every Tuesday, also online conservative commentator
RNC Committeeman Ak Kamara. As we talk about the Trump

(11:09):
administration releasing the first of what we're told will be
transparency regarding UAP's UFOs and however you believe or whatever
you believe about what could potentially be the intelligence beyond
human life, let me talk about it this morning, and
also asking you what would make you actually go, oh wow,

(11:31):
this is actually real. We've got a couple of comments
that we need to get to before we turn our
attention to some other matters. Let's go here back to
the iHeartRadio app. Your talkback's brought to you by Lindahl Realty.

Speaker 15 (11:42):
Hi, this is Barb from New Hope. You guys are
a bunch of idiots.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
What the heck is.

Speaker 15 (11:48):
Wrong with you? Turned in to hear you talking about
this fantasy. That's the opium of the masses, you guys,
but the hook line and sinker. I don't know what's
wrong with you sci fi jerks. Why don't you get
back to talking politics or something that makes sense instead
of this idiotic UFO stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's China.

Speaker 15 (12:09):
It's China, China, China.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Wow, Barb was a little up, a little upset there.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
I mean, I mean, the Trump administration did release all
that information, but it has a website and.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
It is politics, the Department of War dot go forward
slash UFO. It's not just a fantasy, Barbe. And I
love you, Barb. I do, I do. But you know,
sometimes we can talk about things that make you unsettled
and it's okay.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, it's it's okay. We do appreciate your your talk tack.
It's in the running for talkback of the Day. Barb
one hard and the pain. I'm still she gave it.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
She gave it her all.

Speaker 7 (12:49):
The hard part is she's not a follow of the
show like Barb.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
She was offended. I know that.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
I've got like like eight different drops out of that
talk back just to alone.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Hi, this is Barb from New Hope. I mean, and
of itself is just I mean, sci fi jerk.

Speaker 8 (13:03):
You gotta get sci fi jerk is a fantastic I
hope the Timberwolves go as hard in the paint as
Barb did, because then we're gonna win.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Tonight, all right. If not, yeah, it's not gonna look.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
To good Sam Uh Chad, I want to raise man.
This is wow.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
What good morning everybody.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
I heard the aliens landed in Minnesota and they said,
take me to your leader.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
So when they did, they saw Tim Waltz and they
left again. Okay, gotcha, I gotcha.

Speaker 8 (13:37):
You know.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Actually I have audio of when Walls first came in contact,
first contact with Governor Jim Walls and an alien species.

Speaker 8 (13:45):
Expect for the next eleven months for me to ride
you like you've never been ridden, and that's why they left.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
He's not riding me.

Speaker 10 (13:55):
As it relates to alien beings, I think it's extremely
arrogant of humans to think that we might be the
only planet that has beings in existence.

Speaker 16 (14:12):
Yea barbon a massive universe and we have a massive creator.
Why would we be the only planet that has beings
on it?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, she's spitting truth bombs right there.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
For us to say we know that's certainty, that's a
level of arrogance, like we can't know.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
This is Dave in Minneapolis. I did.

Speaker 12 (14:36):
What we all need is a pair of the glasses
Roddy Piper war In the movie They Live, Yeah, then watch.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
We see what's going on? All right?

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Show of hands? Who's seen They Live?

Speaker 12 (14:48):
No?

Speaker 4 (14:49):
No, the best meaning it's like, oh yeah, I've seen
that meme. Yeah yeah, the meme is fantastic.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Absolutely, We're there's great social commentary in the sci fi
film from the eighties They Live. It also has I believe,
one of the longest fight scenes ever committed to film,
and it's complete, completely unnecessary, and it's it's don't and
it's not very good. No, it's not very good either,
but the movie is fantastic.

Speaker 17 (15:16):
When I was younger, two of my friends were playing
basketball out on a farm in Iowa. This is their story,
not mine. They saw something above their barn that was
very dark and silent, hovering.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
They didn't know what it was, but it was pitch black.

Speaker 17 (15:30):
Years later, we brought it up, thinking it was just
a joke, and one of my friends immediately left and says,
never talk about this again. It was just one of
those weird things.

Speaker 18 (15:43):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Wonder if his friend was Barb. The rest of the story.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Wow, coming in hot there, Sam, I'm nicely done. Barb's
gonna leave you a talk back next.

Speaker 18 (15:55):
Good morning, gentlemen, Mary from out west here and gentle ladies,
excuse me. Mom was born in nineteen twenty nine in
north central North Dakota, and during the forties some unidentified
flying objects were sited over the Turtle Mountains of North Dakota.
Three fighters were scrambled from the mine at Air Force Base,
which followed them up into Canada, and they vanished from radar.

(16:18):
No crash sites or any evidence of anything was ever recovered.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Have a great day.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
That's the craft that abducted ak Yeah.

Speaker 8 (16:29):
Listen, I was also in north central North Dakota when
I saw this Devil's like sounds like her mom was
closer to probably like Boto dune seed somewhere around there
in the Turtle Mountain, Chippewa Territory.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
But yeah, man, aliens are out there.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
There is a good friend of the show.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'll have to see if he's up for telling the story.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
But there's a good friend of the show who.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Apparently has had a circumstance where he believes he's seen
a UFO. I don't think he's set it on the air,
and I'm reluctant. I'm hesitant to go and say and
say who that was?

Speaker 18 (17:00):
All right?

Speaker 5 (17:01):
So we need to get to your top back of
the day, brought to you by Mini Leaf and mini
leaf dot Com. We'll do that. Also, we do have
some other stories to cover in the final segment of
the show. We'll continue to take your talkbacks as well
over what would you know make you go wow? Over
what the government is releasing via the UFO files. We'll
end this segment with this talkback that came in much

(17:23):
earlier in Akkmar. You can answer the question when we
get back here in just a moment on Freedom Friday.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
All right, you're ready, yep, are here we go. Good
morning to John.

Speaker 19 (17:32):
Fantastic opening to a Freedom Friday per usual, say it
being off topic, ask Ak when he gets in Angie
Craig running for Senate? Does that leave her house seat open?
That one's been very competitive for years and I didn't
know if you could run for both at the same time.

(17:56):
Is that a possible Minnesota Republican house pick?

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Friend of the show Barb, although at the moment, I
don't want to put her in the faux.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Category, but relationship is streamed.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah, Barb was just a little bit, a little bit
upset at the show this morning. She's also dividing the
audience on a Freedom Friday.

Speaker 20 (18:20):
Hey, Barb, I feel you, But you know what's fun
Freedom Fridays. My family often questions how I get through
life because I listen to politics all week long, driving
in my semi's Freedom Fridays. It gets me through and
then I just don't watch anything or listen to anything
on the weekend. But yeah, we gotta have some put

(18:42):
on Friday.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Pick it up, guys, I'm try let's go. We're with you.
Good luck, keep on trucking.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well, I don't like Minnesota Republicans. They keep falling for
these psyops like this alien crap. I'm with Bourb. I
stand with Burb.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
So so we just so.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
I guess the question I would raise is do we
just ignore it? Do we just feel like I know,
Trump released a bunch of files relating to UFO disclosure
and transparency, but we're just going to ignore it because
it's a scio?

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Is that?

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (19:08):
That is that?

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Is that what it is? Okay? I just wanted to
make sure that we're that we're clear on that.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Morning Stephen Fridley Love the show today.

Speaker 21 (19:15):
Sorry, Barb, but Billy Graham also said it is ridiculous
to assume that we're it. He went on to say
though that in all likelihood, we're the only planets that rebelled.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Okay, that's so interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
All right, this time for your talk back of the day,
you know you talk Back of the Day is brought
to you by mini Leaf and minileaf dot com. And
as a matter of fact, Mini Leaf is going to
be out to end about in public uh this weekend,
So I'll let you know where you can find Many Leaf.
Of course, you can go to the website am I
N N E L E A F dot com and
I figure since we were talking about disclosure and what the

(19:57):
Trump administration has already revealed this morning, that this was
absolutely appropriate for your talkback of the day.

Speaker 22 (20:06):
I believe aliens are real easier than fighting then nonest democrat.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
That's right, easier than finding an honest democrat.

Speaker 18 (20:14):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
That is your talk back of the day, brought to
you by minileafanmenileaf dot com. They will be out in
a savage at the Taphouse tomorrow from one until four
for Mother's Day free plants with a purchase while supplies last. Also,
you can get to all of the mini leaf products
at a new physical location pot Mama's in e Dina
in Mendota Heights, So head on over to those locations

(20:37):
or go to mini leafanmnileaf dot com. We had a
talkback that rolled in the first hour of the show
for AK talking about Angrew Craig running for Senate. Does
that leave her house seat open? It's been very competitive
seat for years. I didn't know if you could run
for both at the same time. Is that a possible
Minnesota Republican house pickup? RNC committeeman the akkamorrow, what say you?

Speaker 8 (20:57):
Yeah, so you can technically not run for both at
the same time. But what she could have done, or
what she still can do, is that she could at
any point before the primary and before the filing deadline,
she could drop out of her run for US Senate
and then run in the primary for the second congressional district.
Doesn't seem that that is very likely. It seems regardless

(21:20):
if it's Peggy Flanagan or if it's Andie Craig that
gets endorsed by the Democrats. But then, more importantly, it
is looking like a very competitive seat. Republicans just endorsed
State Senator Eric Pratt, and he's running in the second
congressional district. He's gonna be able to bring in a
lot of money. And the endorsing convention, as Max explained
to me, is tomorrow for the Democrats. And you have

(21:41):
that absolute psycho and weirdo Matt Little running against another
guy that I don't really know about.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
So we'll see how much.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
Still is still running. I haven't seen any of his
posts online. Think Matt Little is considered to be.

Speaker 8 (21:53):
The front runner, right, yeah, yeah, Matt Little versus Eric Pratt.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
That would be a fascinating matchup, and I.

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Think that money would start to pour in for representative
or a state senator Pratt.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
But yeah, that's your answer.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
Oh wait, you know what, he might He may no
longer be the front runner. I'm looking at more of
the files that Trump release and it turns out Matt
Little is apparently an alien, So wow, that might.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Help him in the modern Democrat Party.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Columnist at the Minnesota Star Tribune Jill Birkham very worried
not only about Angie Craig, but also rotissary chickens. Did
Angie Craig really vote against rotisserie chickens for snap families?

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Literally? She did?

Speaker 5 (22:40):
So the piece goes like this. I highlighted some portions
of because it cracks me up. Jill writes, I never envisioned.
I never envisioned that these convenient dinner mainstays would be
at the heart of a political brouhaha in Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Wow, yeah, here we.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
Are us Representative Angie Craig unfairly accused of denying families
on food assistance a chance to buy a ro tissary,
all because of how she recently voted on an amendment
in the twenty twenty six farm bill. I didn't realize
this was you were aware of this rotissary chicken gate. Yeah,
that was the hashtag that was online apparently, rotissary chicken gate.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Yes, I love delicious. Rotissary chicken are good. They're so good. Costco, Like,
you don't want to be that guy.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
One time I was.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
I just had a whole rotissary chicken and I was
just ripping off pieces in.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (23:34):
Yeah, I was doing like a keto thing and I
was really hungry, and I was like, it's like five
dollars in ninety nine cents for a whole ro tissery chicken.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
And it's keepo.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Ak is just matching the rotissery chicken in his car.
Sad music is.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
That it's a single tear rolling down his cheek.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
Just it smells so delicious, but then when you're done
eating it, it starts to really rapidly.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
The more chicken I eat, the more up set I get,
The more up set I get, the more chicken I eat.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
A k don't ever change, man. And why is it
when you get, especially a rotissary chicken from Costco? Why
is it that, for some.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Reason you if you weren't before, you end up being
like incredibly hungry, and then one like it takes forever
to get the bag open, and then two it takes
forever to snip off the strings that are on there.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Just good a chicken.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Yeah, I know, that's why you just start ripping apart.
I mean, there's so much left over. I mostly go.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
For the break.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
You guys are doing rotissery chicken all wrong. It's not Costco.
You gotta go to Quick Trip and pick one up
in one of the plastic containers.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
That that's all right too with him.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
Rotisserie chicken from Quick Trip is the reason.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
My children are still alive. That's good. That's good.

Speaker 8 (24:46):
I actually like the difference between because I am a
chicken connoisseword Okay, yes, I'm stereotypically black. I love chickens.
I love fried chicken too, But with Costco there's.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
A better char on it.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
Okay, doesn't get the char as much, and I love
the charred skin.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's it's the best part.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
You know what, ak, if your TikTok views are ever
going down, you should just transition your channel into a
chicken chicken tog review.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yea treview channel. In your car, you know what.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
And I can also go and.

Speaker 8 (25:14):
Review fried chicken because the best fried chicken comes from
pizza ranch.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Oh grace, I think De Bryan's a restaurant.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
The lobbies open, you want to go down and catch
a breakfast, so you can just let to wrap the
show up brain space.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
That rotisserie chickens apparently take up in your guys heads.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
I just I'm telling you your dad of the year
when you get a rotisserie chicken, because it's like a
wholesome meal and your kids are actually being like sustained
by it. It's not McDonald's, which which I also do
more often than i'd like to admit.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But holy crap, you all need to stop hitting the
cocktails so early on Fridays.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
All right, ro tissery chicken gates where this whole thing
started from, Right, That's what we were talking up on
social media.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Recently, there apparently was national covering the Minnesota Lieutenant Governor
Peggy Flanagain, Craig's opponent in a hard fought US Senate
Democrat primary race, tried to make political hay out of
Craig's vote to posting a pro rotisserie chicken social media
comment over a list of lawmakers who voted against it,
which included Craig. I just it always puts a smile

(26:19):
on my face to see democrat on democrats crime.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah, yes, yes, right, let them fight.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
The amendment passed overwhelmingly three eighty four to thirty five,
with Craig among the small group voting against it. Jill says,
I first spotted the kerfuffle on my Facebook feed. A
normally mild manner former neighbor ripped into Craig for allegedly
denying rotisserie chicken to hungry families.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah she did that, Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Jill knew there had to be more to the story.
The Farm Bill and the sprawling legislation that governs not
just crop subsidies but farm programs and snap. As a
ranking member, Craig is in the midst of every fight
over what the program covers, it's eligibility and price tag.
Even more important as Craig's lived experience as Jill, she
saw fer his hand how the food assistance program kept

(27:07):
her family from going hungry.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Did you'll get a payout from this? Wow?

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Crazy fawn A little harder, I guess I know Jill's
getting a couple of rotissy chickens for Christmas this year.

Speaker 8 (27:21):
I will pay you one rotisserie chicken per day for
this post.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
In a phone interview, a frustrated Craig made it clear
that her vote was not against a hot rotisserie chicken. Instead,
she said it was a strategic no vote cast in
service of gaining more access to hot food.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Not less that'll work, that works in an election.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Because Letty explain my vote in a very complex way,
it was very strategic.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
It didn't go far enough, all right, And as a
person that believes that we should have McDonald's on EBT,
I voted against this bill to expand it.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Just a little bit.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Governor dim Walls, you have any thoughts on rochestery chicken.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
White hot and very dangerous, so, she says.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Craig said, I have nothing against having rotesterary chicken to
be a part of staff benefits, But why are we
going to settle for that. We want to get the
Hot Foods Act into the final Farm Bill, and so
I'm not sure I anticipated it getting quite this much attention.
But at the end of the day, I don't think
it goes far enough. I would hope that the people

(28:30):
who criticize the vote would now turn their attention to
pursuing four to pushing for the Hot Food to Act,
which is much more abroad and extensive.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
President Tonald Trump, do you have a thought on this.
It's hot, It's very hot.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Worth Noting, says jill Is that one of the nation's
leading anti hunger advocacy and research organizations also sounded the
alarm on the Rochestery chicken measure that Craig voted against.
Just so we're clear, she says that Craig may have
been roasted politically speaking over her roches Ory chicken vote,
but with characteristic bluttonous She said this, if we get

(29:06):
the Hot Foods Act and the final version of the
Farm Bill, she told me, then I won't regret a
damn thing. Way to go, way to stand on your
principles there Andree Craig.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
Yeah, no, Listen, I think the broader conversation that we've
had about hot food not being included in snap benefits
EBT is that we want to make having food assistance
from the government like something that's not, you know, I
would say.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
A good thing.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
This is not something that you aspire to and the
fact that you are trying to include hot food means
that there's no disincentive to get off of it. It's like,
oh no, just stay on this program. You can go
and you can spend more money and get all of
this food that's already prepared. So it's like super simple.
The question is, and I get it, Republicans. Most Republicans

(29:54):
voted for it, And you don't want to take the
vote that says you're voting against giving more food access.
It's a nutritional food. Chicken is good. There's nothing bad
at least it's not like sugary drinks and stuff like that.
But I still think of someone that grew up on welfare.
I grew up my entire childhood on snap EBT benefits.
You want to disincentivize people from staying on the system,

(30:16):
and one of those things.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Is you can't have hot food.

Speaker 8 (30:19):
So if you want to make your own food, that's
what you should do. Go and prepare your own meal.
And it's actually a lot cheaper in most cases. That's
just the truth of them. Man, Yeah, we're just for you.
Chicken at Costco's pretty cheap, by the way, I mean
it is, but you have to have a Costco membership
cary to just go in and get us.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
That is true.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
Yes, And I'll just say though too, like that disincentivizing.
The whole point in our social safety net is that
it is a safety net that you bounce back from
that in order to get you to a place where
you are self sustaining. And it does remind me this
past yesterday, we took a vote in the House to
come into federal Medicaid conformity, and in Minnesota we voted

(30:57):
to approve work requirements for Medica payments as well. So
like the the amount of pushback that we got from
Democrats on that vote, the entitlement to government, the government
dole has never been higher, and you do have to
disincentivize that work requirements are a good thing. Making sure
that you're not on forever payments for snap benefits is

(31:20):
a good thing.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Work is a good thing.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
Grace to you and Hunter. Enjoy a rotistery chicken. Do
you have any thoughts on rochesterry chicken?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
I shouldn't.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
I shouldn't even tell this story on the but I
will please do. We don't eat aistry chicken in a
house because my husband several years ago went into apparently
this rotistory chicken frenzy as you.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
All can relate to, and like.

Speaker 6 (31:42):
Got a chicken, ripped it, open, ate it like an
animal in like two minutes and then I think immediately
threw up.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Oh we do not partake.

Speaker 12 (31:51):
No.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
There was controversy around the costco of rotistory chickens too.
There was like a movement out there saying that they
had stuff that you shouldn't eat in or something.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Asked me if I care microplastics.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
Sometimes people are like, you gotta make the chickens bigger,
so you got a pump them full of antibiotics and steroids.
But that's actually how I like my chick. Give me
strong antibiotics or chemicals, steroid chicken. It's delicious, just completely fabricated.
Like Pringles Quick Trip. If you don't know about this,

(32:23):
chicken strips chicken fingers from Quick Chip the best chicken fingers,
and they are very, very plump.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
They are probably chuck full.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
Of antibiotics and steroids if you're listening to Quick Trip,
and that's defamation.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
That's just what I've heard. I don't know for sure
if that's true.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Gray seemed confused. Those are over my my Prinkles comment,
there's no potatoes in pringles. They're all chemicals. What there's zero,
there's zero, there's zero they are there's zer. There is
zero great kind nutritional benefit in pringles. There's no potatoes
in It is all straight up chemicals.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
What am I eating?

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Then?

Speaker 5 (32:58):
You're eating but delicious point you're eating shaped to chemicals.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
This cracker can make you act any differently?

Speaker 12 (33:06):
No?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Is it shafer than alcohol? Probably?

Speaker 23 (33:10):
Warning guys, thanks for funny freedom Friday? Sorry barb uh
and uh just wanting to uh unfortunately correct aka the
chicken professional.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Uh the chicken pizza anch is not Friday? Is We're roasted?

Speaker 12 (33:27):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (33:30):
And the best line from They Lived? Anyone remember what
the best line from They Lived was? Nope, I had
to do with bubble gum.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Yeah, there's a lot in that we can't repeat on
the air. So go there, thank you, way to go. Okay,
you're completely discredited.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Now I am disc to take away my chicken credentials.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
You're a chicken jerk.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
I'll retain my black card, but you have to take
away my chickens.

Speaker 22 (33:50):
If aliens ever did, we had to put our best
but forward. I don't see how you can get around
taking them to Costco for one of those tasty crispys
chickens and then stop it at the food court for
a nice hot dog and sold a combo for a dollar.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Baby, yeah, buddy, Speaking of chickens, I have this story
from West Virginia to share with you this morning. A
West Virginia woman is facing charges after she allegedly chased
down and fired multiple shots at a driver who hit
a chicken outside her home.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Oh, dare relatable? How was it is that? How was
that relatable?

Speaker 6 (34:29):
This is the This is the strain of temporary madness.
I can most likely see myself participating in someday.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Okay, you can like.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
Like hunting down and shooting someone because they ran over
a turkey in the road or something.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Yeah, check on me in like forty years.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
That'll be mean.

Speaker 13 (34:44):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
You know you know what?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Okay Wow.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
West Virginia State Police responded last week to an intersection
in Ritt County after a man was reportedly shot. The
trooper spoke to the victim, who claimed that he was
driving side by side when he struck.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
A chicken in the road in front of a house.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
He kept going and was later chased down by a
driver in a Toyota Tacoma who he says was blaring
her horn and tailgating him as he turned at the intersection,
the victim says, the suspect says. The suspect to the
pickup truck and put the pickup truck in park, got out.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
And allegedly shot him three times. Oh my god, he
was it. This guy could have used it. Burna could.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
But maybe it's possible that this woman actually is one
of the largest proponents of the twenty eighth Amendment. I
don't know if you guys have heard about this. It's
chickens being necessary to the security of a free state.
The right of the people to keep, bear and breed
chickens shall not be infringed.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's probably where that comes from.

Speaker 7 (35:40):
Yeah, my favorite amendment.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
He claims he saw the gun pointing at him when
the shots were fired. The victim told law enforcement he
recognized and knew the suspect to be Bobby Drennan. Drennan
told the trooper that the victim drove past her home
at a high rated speed while her children were playing
in the front yard and struck her chicken in the
middle of the road.

Speaker 10 (36:03):
It was her.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
It was her chicken.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Yeah, unfortunately, now you can pick up that chicken at Costco.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
And West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Probably.

Speaker 7 (36:14):
I'm just gonna say the part they don't tell you
all of this is totally legal.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, yep, defensive chickend.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Morning guys, Happy Friday, best chicken in Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Chauncey's down in Jordan.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Little shouts of ches. I can't that's the way I
can say it. I've never say it. I'm going to
let's go to chun Sees. The complaint says that she
did state that she chased him down, met him in
the intersection. She said that when she writed the intersection,
the victim didn't stop, and she claimed that she then
fired her gun into the air.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
It's better, No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I mean, they do it all the time, and Somalia saw.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
I mean she just takes the trooper placed Drennan under
arrest and seized her firearm. She was a charge with
wanton endangerment with a firearm and take into the Wood
County Holding Center to await her arraignments. All right, let's
go back to the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 20 (37:18):
Hey, my man, if you really do like big Strong chickens.

Speaker 14 (37:23):
Both visited how much time to.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Buy a chicken from them? It'll probably weigh about seven
and a half. So you gotta find an Amish farmer. Hey,
maybe he knows them.

Speaker 8 (37:34):
Yeah, we've got some around here, friends, Amish, Menna, night hooter,
eights all around.

Speaker 15 (37:40):
Ben Franklin said social assistance should be a safety net,
not a hammock.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Indeed, that's good.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
That's good.

Speaker 12 (37:50):
Hey.

Speaker 24 (37:51):
If people can eat chicken with antibiotics and do fine.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Great for you.

Speaker 24 (37:56):
But for those of you who can't eat chicken or
eggs or milk without stomach upset, get organic pasture raised,
no antibiotic, and you will be able to eat it
at least much better. Wine like red wine, do non
us wine France, Argentina, Italy, Spain.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
You'll be able to drink it just fine.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
So I can grace if you like, I can copy
that transcript before you. You can pass it over to a
hunter if he wants to begin to include ro tisse
chickens into his diet.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Perhaps that blatum.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Go and you know who, I think you know who,
actually not to think, I know you know who's a
big fan of rotissrie chickens at barb love.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
We're just really sure about that huge gon talk back.
You stop talking about tistrie chickens.

chickens are usually the chickens that they can't sell that
have expired, and you can't feed them to your dogs
because dogs will die from eating the juice in the
skins of that chicken.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
It almost makes me want to eat the rotisserie chickens
more because it sounds like they've been rejected and so
they need to, you know, finish them so compassionate. Yeah,
go to all you need to move to completion of
the chickens life cycle. I just want to be a
I want to be a.

Speaker 8 (39:36):
