Speaker 1 (00:01):
Energy, energy, energy, I hate space.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We come to this place for magic, to cry, to care,
because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling
we get and we go somewhere we've never been before.
Not just entertained, but somehow we've born please me together
(00:38):
or sound that I can feel, somehow heartbreak feels good
in a place like this. Our heroes feel like the
best part of us, and the stories feel perfect and
powerful because here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They are leaes get stuff. What's called a trump your
age problem? You heard about that problem? I do take
it personally. They knew and they let it happen. Are
(01:18):
you kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He speaks through static waves, sattar no voice. That thingers
when night is gone?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Twin Cities, The stories fun, John Justice Rides the Rise,
Samos Lasting shop stop or strange cheap lifting?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What are you doing on CRIDs of school? The same?
We're me Shad Spink.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Rand White Bart Minnesota, NATA medium.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So remember how the louver got robbed?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
I forgot about that. Good morning, Sam, Good morning, Yes,
I remember.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
So they caught the perpetrators, yes, okay, which I actually
found quite surprising, was very unmovie esque, like that should
have drug out longer.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I was really looking forward to.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
The writing of the screenplay and the Netflix film, which
may still happen, detailing this incredibly brazen theft of one
of the planet's most famous museums. The Louver director had
offered to resign in the wake of all of this.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We highlighted it on.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
The show because you know, you don't hear a lot
of accountability coming from anybody anymore. Now, that's that's that's good,
you know, And those higher up in charge of the
Loover we're like, no, no, no, you know you need is,
you need to stay, but you know, way to go
in stepping up and offering your resignation. I'm not so
(03:16):
sure that they shouldn't resign. Based off of this update
from Newsmax, the password for the Louver Museum's surveillance system
was simply Louver.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
L o U v r E.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
It was just the name of the the time of
the one hundred and two million dollars jewel heightst that
took place last last.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Because of course it was right.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I mean, I guess maybe you think, what are the
odds that somebody is going to go and attempt to
do such a thing, in which case but I mean,
it's twenty twenty five. Who has it learned right to
make a complicated password.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
I wonder if the IT person was just like, well,
our Wi Fi password is Louve, it's easy to remember.
Let's just set everything else.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
We'll make it consistent across the board.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It is.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
My wife's not up yet, so I can go here.
If she were, I probably wouldn't tell the story. But
in our household, like Melinda is so conscientious of passwords,
like we won't even say I'm out loud. She has
a master list that are mostly all handwritten out okay
on paper, of our passwords.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
We had to go and update the the Apple password recently.
And if you if you are an Apple product family,
you know that when you go and update that password
like it is, I mean, it takes you. It takes
you a week to run through the resetting of all
of the different devices, the notifications that are sent to
(05:08):
somebody else's phone where you had to put in whatever
their log in numbers are for the password. It is
a hassle. So we had to do this recently, but
Melinda kept saying, don't say it out loud. The phones
are listening because they are. I mean, I'm not giving
her too hard. The phones are listening, right, I don't
(05:29):
say it out loud. So we had it written. We
have a dry erase board in the kitchen and we
had it written on the dry erase board.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
This was a couple weeks a couple weeks back.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
And at one point Kyle had said, you know, can
we can we get rid of that off the dry
erase board. He was just tired of looking at it,
and he likes things to be very succinct. I'm like, sure,
without fail. Within three days, Melinda had to go and implement,
had to go and input the Apple ID password and
(05:58):
couldn't remember what it was. And I had failed to go.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And right right.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
So we absolutely we actually did end up figuring out
it was what I had assumed.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I knew what it, remembered what it was, and then I.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
Went and actually typed it in and it ended up working.
It was an issue of one of the letters having
to be having to be capitalized.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So fascinating to talk to it. That is what you're gonna, Yeah,
that's exactly exactly what it was. I'm like, I'm nine
to nine present, Sure, that's what the password is. Is
that working for me? Maybe you come and put it
in and now you know, you know, now there you go.
Now it's now, it's working.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
It is a Freedom Friday here on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Oh,
if you're not online on X right now, you are
missing out with the Sydney Sweeney memes. Right now, we're
gonna get you up to speed on this. She sat
down for an interview with GQ and the.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Smug Liberal woman.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
In this GQ interview, we thought that she had cornered
Sidney Sweeney over the American Eagles ad controversy and asking
me heard this question and Sidney Sweeney just was not
even having it. It's fantastic we have the audio to share.
We're gonna talk a lot about snap and the shutdown,
including I might be coming around once again. I know
(07:21):
we've been talking about it this week, and when our
guests join us in studio will dive into further details.
But I may be coming around on nuking the filibuster.
I've spent a lot of time over the course of
the past twenty four hours listening to various commentary, hearing
from the President and the arguments both pro and con
and I'm starting to lean into no, maybe Trump is
(07:42):
at absolutely right and we should get rid of this.
So we'll talk about that. We have in studio this morning,
the Salt and Peppa of Minnesota Conservative Podcasting. That would
be Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating will be joining us
in studio right around seven o'clock this morning from Center
of the American Experiment.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Ak Comela will be.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
On joining us right around seven point thirty and then
at eight o'clock this morning. Incredibly honored to be talking
with a gold Star father, Darren Hoover, whose son was
killed at Abby Gate. He's going to be in town
for a couple of different events, but he has been
speaking to the media about the importance of remembering those
(08:22):
that we lost in that horrific attack in Afghanistan, the
horrific situation that occurred in Afghanistan, and also there's a
foundation in his son's name that we will talk to
him about coming up at eight o'clock, and of course
we will hear from you and the iHeartRadio app this morning.
You can also email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.
We have some of those to share your on and
(08:43):

Sidney Sweeney where she breaks her silence over this American

Speaker 12 (11:17):
Hey, John Brandon Cottage Grove, Happy Freedom Friday. Just wanted
to remind everyone be safe this weekend during the deer
hunting rifle opener, and I hope everyone gets what they're
looking for. I'm still working online.
Speaker 13 (11:30):
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Thank you Brandon, appreciate the talkback. Let's go here on
a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 14 (11:38):
I got a question for you, John Justice. Yeah, I
have to put this on the edit. Out of all
three of your producers are all conservative or are they lunatic?
Liberals or are they somewhere in between?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I do not know, I do not care.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
It's actually really refreshing because, first off, anybody and this
has been like it's been like this for me, at
least my attitude about issues like this throughout my entire
talk radio career.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
When I was doing rock radio, it didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
But anybody who was producing or was running the board
or filling in, listen, if you didn't do your homework
prior to joining this show and didn't know what to expect,
it's it's partly on you. At the same time, for me,
it's a matter of knowing the roles of those that
(12:41):
work on the show and just how we treat each
other's as personalities, you know, how we should be in
real life, where ultimately, if our politics don't matter in
terms of the job that we are doing, then there's
no real reason to be going and discussing them. And
I would hope that in so far it's been the
case that anybody working on this show ends up judging
or having an opinion about me because how of how
(13:02):
I treat them, and less about what I end up
saying on the air. The only time I've told this
story before, but cracked me up.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
There was a guy that I.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Worked with for a long period of time, you know,
because I was in Tucson for for nine years and
I had worked he had, he'd been my producer and
board up for it was. It was a couple of
those years, real quiet, reserved, dude would laugh at what
I said on the air, got along just fine. And
it wasn't until his last day when when we were
(13:32):
basically you know, party ways is saying goodbye. He'd gone
and gotten another job and he'd set up fright. He's like,
I pretty much disagreed with everything that you said on.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
The air, but I really enjoyed working with you.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
And I was like, you know what, man, I had
absolutely no clue whatsoever, and you know, good on, good
on you.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So there we go.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
I did ask Sam if he was okay with me
asking that question on the air, because this is how
I roll. I try to be respectful by the way
Brandon's air. As you hear that I did, I was.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Very pleased about that.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
I didn't preview it because I know Brandon's talk back
to the audio is usually pretty clean, and so when
I heard.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It in the background, I was.
Speaker 15 (14:11):
I was.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I was very happy about Hell yeah, all right.
Speaker 14 (14:15):
Let's go here.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Nearly four months after Sidney Sweeney's American Eagle Jean's ad
made headlines, the Euphoria actress responded to the Good Genes controversy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You have to watch the video of this. It's already
become a meme.
Speaker 15 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
I've actually made one that put it up on x
if you follow me on j O N. John Justice
should go and h and check it out. But in
this clip, uh, the interviewer tried to set this clever
trap for Sweeney, right, kind of framing it as a favor,
(14:53):
and Sidney Sweeney just effortlessly.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Swerved out of it.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
I mean it and a lot of people are giving
Sidney Sweeney class or I'm excuse me, not class. She
doesn't have a lot of class, but they're giving her
a lot of credit here. And it's not to say
she doesn't deserve credit for this, but it was really
an instinctive and honest response. I mean, I think most
people like I tried to put myself in the similar situation.
(15:21):
I tried to place myself in Sidney Sweeney's spot in
this interview, and I thought to myself. Yeah, that's how
I would have reacted, just like, yeah, no, I'm not
going to take the bait on this. Ultimately, it's none
of your business. So online it's usually just the shorter
clip of the question about the.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Dual meaning of jeans and jeans and how she feels.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
I'm gonna play for you the entirety of this moment
because it again it's clear that the woman, the GQ
interviewer in this case, either subconsciously or intentionally, was sort
of setting Sweetey up before she basically handed her, you know,
an opportunity if she wanted to go and apologize. So
(16:08):
listen to this and then we'll talk about it coming
up in just a few minutes here on Twin Cities
News Talk and get to more of your talk backs
from the iHeartRadio app on a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 15 (16:18):
I'm literally in Jean's little two shirt, like every day
of my life.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Jeans are uncontroversial. Genes are awesome. You look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway. I mean, the President tweeted
about the genes AD or trude social about the genes
AD and that just seems to me like a very
crazy moment for anyone.
Speaker 16 (16:44):
And I wondered.
Speaker 15 (16:46):
What that was like.
Speaker 13 (16:48):
It was surreal, It was surreal, and it would be
totally human. I would probably feel like thankful that somebody
had my back public, you know, and conveniently some very
powerful people.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Had my back in public.
Speaker 13 (17:05):
And I'm wondered if if you felt that way.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's not that that feeling didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't have that feeling.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
But I wasn't thinking of it like that.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
So it was interesting here because Sidney Sweeney, she's not stupid.
She sends to what was coming. I mean, anybody could
if you're paying attention, you know. All right, this is
an attempt to lean into this controversy, but in an
uncontroversial way, because this GQ interviewer wants to get the
(17:45):
sound bite, and Sidney Sweeney, to her credit, pauses, waits,
thinks about it, understands what's going on, and chooses her
words very carefully.
Speaker 15 (17:57):
Like of any of it, I kind of just put
my phone away. I was filming every day filming Beuphoreia,
so I'm working like sixteen hour days and I don't
really bring my phone on set, so I work and
then I go home and I go to sleep.
Speaker 13 (18:13):
So I didn't really I don't really see a lot
of it. You've made a really good case for keeping
your thoughts and your life separate from that work. But
the risk is that you know, there's a chance that
somebody will get some idea about what you think about
certain issues and feel like I don't want see Christie
(18:36):
because of that, Like, do you worry about that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe
specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke
about genetic superiority like that was kind of like the
criticism broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this,
I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk
about that specifically.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
I think that when I.
Speaker 15 (19:03):
I have an issue that I want to speak about,
people here.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Just absolutely brilliant. More coming up on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five Fman.
Speaker 17 (19:17):
Speaking of Sidney Sweeney. About two weeks ago, I went
to screen Unseen at AMC and the surprise movie that
they played was Christy. Sidney Sweeney played the main character.
The main character's name is Christy and she is a
female boxer. I guess it's a true story. She was
(19:40):
amazing Sidney Sweeney and Christy.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
Stop giving that demon bizzong away for free.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Make everybody get their tape recorder out and record it
from the radio like we always had to do back
in the nineties.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Has a tape recorder still I don't even have one anymore.
I mean, you're right, totally.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Used to have to do.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
But the station I've worked for before I came here, John,
they had not only had cassette players, they had four
track reel to reels in the studio.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And this was a.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Competing sports radio station. We'll just say that in the
Twin Cities market.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that's just lazy.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I mean, I assume they're using other equipment and they
just hadn't removed the old equipment.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
That has to that has to be or they still
actually using it. I mean, they weren't like actively using it,
But I don't know. That place had a lot of
old stuff just around.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
When I started at the first alternative rock station I
worked with worked at as an intern, they were still
using The morning show host that I was interning with
was still using a reel to reel had a razor
blade in studio because you'd have to you'd have to
sync it up and you know, and rotate the reel
back and forth to get the right you know, and
(21:00):
she would splice it and use little pieces of tape
and put it back together. And they still had what
we used, you know, called carts, which were essentially the
the eight tracks that you were that you were mentioning.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
It was, it was.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
It was really interesting because when I started, it quickly
transitioned afterwards, so I never had I might have worked
a shift or two on the weekends using the reel
to reel, I seem to recall, but I mean it
wasn't anything more than just a just a few months.
So at the same time, I mean, even the computer
(21:32):
system that we use in studio, you know, this is
this is still like MS doss looking it looks so
it looks so archaic, but it's tough to go and
update it because everybody uses it constantly and it's sort
of it almost needs to be more utilitarian in its
in its work. So you know, I'm not going to
give it to myself, but you know what I was
going to play twin Cities News Talk. I am eleven
(21:53):
thirty one oh three five FM. It is a Freedom
Friday broadcasting from the six five to one carpet Next
Day Install Studios.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
A lot of people picking.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Up on something that didn't immediately click in my mind
in this interview wherein the GQ reporter attempted to go
and bait Sidney Sweeney into responding to the American Eagles
at controversy, and Sweeney didn't take the bait. Basically he's tried,
(22:21):
you know, stayed politically neutral on it. Let me just
play a portion again, because a lot of you picked
up on something, and I guess I've just become so
accustomed to hearing it.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
It's now white noise.
Speaker 15 (22:31):
Literally in jeans and a T shirt like every day
of my life.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
Jeans are uncontroversial, gems are awesome, you look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
I mean, the president on the Sidney Sweeney interview, I
couldn't make it past the Valley Girls speak at the beginning,
so I turned an eye down, but I listened to
two year analysis makes sense.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Good morning, John, Happy Friday to you and all the team.
Speaker 16 (23:04):
Why do all those reporters like to talk like.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
This and that way they do that at the end
of their interviews make them sound so weird.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Have a great weekend, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 18 (23:20):
Good morning, John, Thanks for putting that clip of Sydney
Sweeney being interviewed.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You're welcome, Scott.
Speaker 18 (23:24):
At first I had to do a double take because
I thought I was listening to the nineteen eighty three
movies starring Nicholas Cage called.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Valley Girl Fantastic.
Speaker 18 (23:32):
Oh my gosh, gag me with the spoon. My priorities
are kickball, golly golly like like here, the government's shutdown.
We're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and this is
all this country worries about. We are not a serious country.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
It is.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
It is Freedom Friday. You know, we're lightening things up.
I do have some serious things that we'll talk about
coming up here in a bit. We're gonna do a
deep dive into the filibuster. A lot of people asking,
you know, can you undo it and then put it
back in place?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You can.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But as you go sort of down.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The rabbit hole of the filibuster and look at history,
it becomes incredibly clear that both sides want to be
able to exploit the filibuster because it's it's a lot
more fluid than I had even thought.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
And we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 16 (24:21):
Sometimes you won't know when you're talking to a deranged liberal,
but sometimes it'll be completely obvious and the inflection of
their voice when the GQ interviewer says specifically.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to enforce
policy aimed at limiting transgender rights that would restrict to
sex designations on passports to male and female based on
sex assigned app birth. The Justice is granted this emergency
request filed by the administration seeking to reverse the pol
(25:00):
introduced by the Biden administration that allow people to put
X as a gender marker or self select male or female.
Three liberal justices on the conservative majority Court, of course, dissented.
The Trump policy effectively means the transgender people, even those
who have fully transitioned and have medical records to prove it,
would not be able to have gender markers that correspond
(25:22):
with their identities, something.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We'll talk about on Monday's show.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
And it's not gained a lot of momentum yet, but
I anticipate over the weekend it will is that apparently
the Supreme Court is poised to take up the issue
of gay marriage, and a lot of analysts are saying
that it seems more likely than not that the Supreme
Court could strike down nationwide gay marriage, much like they
(25:49):
did with abortion, and send it back to the States.
Of course, this would create a massive ripple effect of
criticism and commentary, which could also play into the filibuster
talk as well. So that is something that we will
be getting into in detail on Monday's show. Again, it's
just being talked about in a few outlets, but I
(26:10):
anticipate over the weekend it's going to grow quite a
bit and we'll spend some time on it on a
Monday Show.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
All Right From Newsmax, the Department.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Of Agricultures said that the beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance program will receive sixty five percent of their normal
allotment for November instead of the previously estimated fifty The
Department's Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services disclosed
the new rate earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
In a court filing. We mentioned this Briefly yesterday.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
The shrub administration told a federal judge that it would
tap into more than four billion in contingency funds to
distribute half of November's benefits during the ongoing government shutdown.
Under the revised figures, a family of four in the
contiguous United States will receive approximately six hundred and forty
six dollars in SNAP benefits or food stamps for the month.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
A federal judge, also.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
In Rhode Island overnight has essentially ordered a Trump to
act like a king and find money to fully SNAP fund,
beyond what the Trump administration said they were already going
to do. And listen, these are activist judges that are
perpetuating the leftist narrative that this is all Trump's fault.
(27:23):
This is why these judges are doing this. They don't
even know themselves how Trump is supposed to go and
find this money and legally going fund SNAP without Congress
getting involved.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But they simply do not care.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
They want to be able to aid the Democrats in
perpetuating this ridiculous nonsense that it's Trump's fault that people
aren't receiving their SNAP benefits, including Governor Tim Wallas, who
held the press conference yesterday and spouted the lie and
then went back to a controversy that actually ended like
three days ago.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
We'll get to this in just a moment.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Let me share this with you though, as I take
a look at the talkbacks rolling in from the iHeartRadio
app brought to you by Lindahl Realty Kaylee mcanaey on
Fox News talking about the filibuster and who is actually
hurting that's not being talked about as much in this
whole debate.
Speaker 19 (28:16):
Let me make this really simple. No one's winning, not Republicans,
not Democrats. When military members cannot pay their bills, when
air traffic controllers are calling out because they get zeros
on their paycheck, when our safety is at issue in
the side, no one is winning. We are all losing.
And why because Democrats they got a chance to vote
to pay the military. Fine, you don't want to open
up the government, how about pay the military essentil workers.
(28:36):
Guess how many Democrats voted to do that? Three John Fetterman,
Rafael Warnack, and John Ossoff. Three Democrats voted to pay
the military. Now, John Kennedy says, let's vote to remove
our pay until military members get paid can't wait to
see how many Democrats vote on that. Let me propose
a very simple solution here. Philibuster not in the constitution,
(28:57):
Philibuster not pass legislatively. Buster can be removed for the
sole purpose of spending bills. You could just remove the filibuster,
open the government. When military members are hurting, when we
are not safe in the skies, it is time to
nuke the filibuster for spending bills because Democrats are hurting
our country.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Now, as I mentioned, Governor Tim Walls held the press
conference and talking about these issues. Also, he spent the
He spends the first part of this thirty second clip.
I'm talking about Minnesota being a great place to live,
and it is. I'm not saying that, However, the metrics
by which Walls goes and points to these lists that
(29:38):
Minnesota lands on about being the best place to live
for a bunch of various reasons. Basically, these are all
outlets that are that are you know, check marking boxes
relating to progressive policies that have been adopted here by
Democrats that lend themselves to the various crit that they
(30:00):
put forward for us to land on this list. Yeah,
even in these lists that taut different states and which
places are better for the economy and children. Yeah, they're
also biased, just like the legacy media. And then towards
the end, it's really interesting because Walls does his tell
where he pauses for a moment because he knows he's
(30:21):
about to lie, and then he moves forward with a
lie in an argument that was from like three or
four days ago that never gained any traction, but Walls
just couldn't.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Let it go.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
I think we have shown that in many categories we
rank at or near the very top in quality of life.
But I think the focus in all of those races
is is that we have to bring down the cost
of life for many people. And that means things like childcare,
it means things like housing, and it certainly means things
like food and the food insecurity issue that we saw.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
And again I.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Don't know for what it's worth. My pro tip to
the president of view is don't hold great gadsby parties
on the night before you're going to punish people for
being hungry. It is not a sin to be poor.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
God, he's such a loser.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Perpetuating the lie that Trump is somehow responsible for the
snap benefits when it just is a byproduct of the
Democrats keeping the government shut down. Everybody knows that, and
yet he continues to spout this lie and then attempts
to use what several people did in the wake of
(31:28):
this Halloween party that was pre planned at the White House,
including this editorial that I want to share with you
some details from in the Star Tribune written by co Vang.
Trump's great gaspeed moment, partying it up while Americans go hungry.
I'll share with you a few points from this, and yes,
(31:48):
we are going to go ahead and put it on
our never ending parade of stupid this morning, President Donald
Trump writes Kavang through a great Gatsby party this past
weekend at mar A Lago while millions of Americans lost
their Snap benefits. It's one thing to eat cake and
drink champagne while others starve. It's another to rent a
(32:12):
jazz band, pour champagne into a tower, and rub it
in our faces while calling its presidential leadership.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You know, and once again, you.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Had all these Democrats that were reposting videos and snapshots
from this party. If they were really concerned about this
being offensive to individuals who are on Snap then why
did you go and continue to spread it around for
those individuals to see just out of curiosity?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And of course there's no discussion or mention at all.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Of the essentially a weekend wine tasting party that a
bunch of Democrats went on in Napa, California in the
wake of the shutdown beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
No, of course not.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
CoV And goes on to say, we all read The
Great Gatsby in high school, or at least pretended to
some of us just to watch the Leonardo DiCaprio movie
and decided that was good enough. But even those who
never got past the spark Notes version, remember how it ends.
Jay Gatsby, a man obsessed with wealth and illusion, ends
up floating dead in his pool. I don't know if
(33:16):
Trump read f Scott Fitzgerald or reads it all, but
he's clearly mastered one of Gatsby's tragic flaws, pretending glitter
is gold. This could have been a Scooby Doo themed party,
and this hack would have written an editorial slamming it.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
And which way is it?
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Because Kavang in this piece she does this a few times,
like is he illiterate? Or is he the evil villain
that held this party to throw it in the faces
of poor people. Because she makes several comments in here,
I don't know if he knows how to read or
if he even read it. So again, which one is it?
(33:59):
Trump's gat to be so sore? Was his Marie Antoinette
let them eat cake moment? Except the cake was gold leafed,
the caviar imported, and the guests list limited to people
who don't know the price of a gallon of milk.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Meanwhile, the SNAP program is being gutted.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
No, it's just been suspended, and it's probably the people
that Kavan supports.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
That suspended it. I just there's no nothing being okay anyway.
She goes on to right, well, okay.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
She spends two paragraphs then laying out why SNAP is
important as which you know, as if nobody knew talking
about children and you know, service workers and the like.
She goes on to say, I read The Great Gatsby
as a student in Saint Agnes High School in Saint Paul,
learning that Fitzgerald himself was born and raised in the
same city. I keep picturing Trump dancing with Milania and
(35:00):
his designer sequined gown, pretending to be Gatsby and Daisy,
when really they're more like Edgar Allen Poe's Prince Prospero
and his courtiers in Mask of the Red Death. Listen,
you know the argument is flimsy when she needs to
(35:20):
go and spend this much time one explaining why it's
super offensive and then two trying to find other examples
of why this is all super offensive. On Monday, Trump's
administration said it would partially fund SNAP for November, but
only after two judges issued rulings requiring the government to
keep the nation's largest food aid program running.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
That's actually not true.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
The Trump administration was looking for ways to go and
fund it anyhow, and did so even without the judge ruling.
But be that as it may, I don't expect this
individual to actually go and seek the proper context and truth.
And again she wraps her piece up with Trump may
have I've never read The Great Gatsby.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Okay. If that's the case, then.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
He's completely unaware about how this could be viewed as
inappropriate or Mask of the Red Death. But the moral
is waiting for him at the end of his own party.
You can build walls, well the doors, and pour all
the champagne you want but hunger seeps through everything, and
in real life and in books, the party always ends
(36:24):
when the people outside get tired of starving. Just ask
Marie Antoinette and Jay Gatsby how their parties ended.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I said it before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
If Trump was really really all that evil, wouldn't you
have a host of other things to point to rather
than spinning out of control over a pre planned Halloween
party that every single administration does every year. Completely Separate
from the ongoing shutdown and the snap benefits, we'll get
(37:02):
to more of your comments coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk. We'll dive further into the filibuster talk
and the shutdown. Got a lot more audio to play
from Trump and a couple of clips that may have
you change my tune on the filibuster. We've got a
lot of your talkbacks already that have rolled in. We'll
get to those next here on a Freedom Friday, as
Catherine Johnson and Grace Keening for American Experiment to join
(37:24):
us in studio here on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you
heard about that problem?
Energy, energy, energy, I hate space.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We come to this place for magic, to cry, to care,
because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling
we get and we go somewhere we've never been before.
Not just entertained, but somehow we've born please me together
(00:38):
or sound that I can feel, somehow heartbreak feels good
in a place like this. Our heroes feel like the
best part of us, and the stories feel perfect and
powerful because here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They are leaes get stuff. What's called a trump your
age problem? You heard about that problem? I do take
it personally. They knew and they let it happen. Are
(01:18):
you kidding?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He speaks through static waves, sattar no voice. That thingers
when night is gone?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Twin Cities, The stories fun, John Justice Rides the Rise,
Samos Lasting shop stop or strange cheap lifting?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What are you doing on CRIDs of school? The same?
We're me Shad Spink.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Rand White Bart Minnesota, NATA medium.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So remember how the louver got robbed?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
I forgot about that. Good morning, Sam, Good morning, Yes,
I remember.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
So they caught the perpetrators, yes, okay, which I actually
found quite surprising, was very unmovie esque, like that should
have drug out longer.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I was really looking forward to.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
The writing of the screenplay and the Netflix film, which
may still happen, detailing this incredibly brazen theft of one
of the planet's most famous museums. The Louver director had
offered to resign in the wake of all of this.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We highlighted it on.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
The show because you know, you don't hear a lot
of accountability coming from anybody anymore. Now, that's that's that's good,
you know, And those higher up in charge of the
Loover we're like, no, no, no, you know you need is,
you need to stay, but you know, way to go
in stepping up and offering your resignation. I'm not so
(03:16):
sure that they shouldn't resign. Based off of this update
from Newsmax, the password for the Louver Museum's surveillance system
was simply Louver.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
L o U v r E.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
It was just the name of the the time of
the one hundred and two million dollars jewel heightst that
took place last last.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Because of course it was right.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I mean, I guess maybe you think, what are the
odds that somebody is going to go and attempt to
do such a thing, in which case but I mean,
it's twenty twenty five. Who has it learned right to
make a complicated password.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
I wonder if the IT person was just like, well,
our Wi Fi password is Louve, it's easy to remember.
Let's just set everything else.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
We'll make it consistent across the board.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It is.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
My wife's not up yet, so I can go here.
If she were, I probably wouldn't tell the story. But
in our household, like Melinda is so conscientious of passwords,
like we won't even say I'm out loud. She has
a master list that are mostly all handwritten out okay
on paper, of our passwords.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
We had to go and update the the Apple password recently.
And if you if you are an Apple product family,
you know that when you go and update that password
like it is, I mean, it takes you. It takes
you a week to run through the resetting of all
of the different devices, the notifications that are sent to
(05:08):
somebody else's phone where you had to put in whatever
their log in numbers are for the password. It is
a hassle. So we had to do this recently, but
Melinda kept saying, don't say it out loud. The phones
are listening because they are. I mean, I'm not giving
her too hard. The phones are listening, right, I don't
(05:29):
say it out loud. So we had it written. We
have a dry erase board in the kitchen and we
had it written on the dry erase board.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
This was a couple weeks a couple weeks back.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
And at one point Kyle had said, you know, can
we can we get rid of that off the dry
erase board. He was just tired of looking at it,
and he likes things to be very succinct. I'm like, sure,
without fail. Within three days, Melinda had to go and implement,
had to go and input the Apple ID password and
(05:58):
couldn't remember what it was. And I had failed to go.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And right right.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
So we absolutely we actually did end up figuring out
it was what I had assumed.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I knew what it, remembered what it was, and then I.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
Went and actually typed it in and it ended up working.
It was an issue of one of the letters having
to be having to be capitalized.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So fascinating to talk to it. That is what you're gonna, Yeah,
that's exactly exactly what it was. I'm like, I'm nine
to nine present, Sure, that's what the password is. Is
that working for me? Maybe you come and put it
in and now you know, you know, now there you go.
Now it's now, it's working.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
It is a Freedom Friday here on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Oh,
if you're not online on X right now, you are
missing out with the Sydney Sweeney memes. Right now, we're
gonna get you up to speed on this. She sat
down for an interview with GQ and the.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Smug Liberal woman.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
In this GQ interview, we thought that she had cornered
Sidney Sweeney over the American Eagles ad controversy and asking
me heard this question and Sidney Sweeney just was not
even having it. It's fantastic we have the audio to share.
We're gonna talk a lot about snap and the shutdown,
including I might be coming around once again. I know
(07:21):
we've been talking about it this week, and when our
guests join us in studio will dive into further details.
But I may be coming around on nuking the filibuster.
I've spent a lot of time over the course of
the past twenty four hours listening to various commentary, hearing
from the President and the arguments both pro and con
and I'm starting to lean into no, maybe Trump is
(07:42):
at absolutely right and we should get rid of this.
So we'll talk about that. We have in studio this morning,
the Salt and Peppa of Minnesota Conservative Podcasting. That would
be Catherine Johnson and Grace Keating will be joining us
in studio right around seven o'clock this morning from Center
of the American Experiment.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Ak Comela will be.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
On joining us right around seven point thirty and then
at eight o'clock this morning. Incredibly honored to be talking
with a gold Star father, Darren Hoover, whose son was
killed at Abby Gate. He's going to be in town
for a couple of different events, but he has been
speaking to the media about the importance of remembering those
(08:22):
that we lost in that horrific attack in Afghanistan, the
horrific situation that occurred in Afghanistan, and also there's a
foundation in his son's name that we will talk to
him about coming up at eight o'clock, and of course
we will hear from you and the iHeartRadio app this morning.
You can also email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.
We have some of those to share your on and
(08:43):
off topic comments from the iHeartRadio app brought to you
by Lyndahl Realty. We'll get to those next, and I'll
share with you the a portion of this interview with
Sidney Sweeney where she breaks her silence over this American
the Eagle ad controversy here on Twin City's News Talk
from the six y five to one, but next day

If you would like a copy of that, you can
email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com and I am
happy to go and send along the MP three Twin
Cities news talk on a Freedom Friday them eleven thirty
one to three five FM from the six five to

You're on and off topic comments all morning long. We

us at the top of the hour. Ak Kamara right
around seven point thirty this morning, and of course you're
on and off topic comments all morning long. We'll get
to Sydney Sweeney here in just a moment.
Speaker 12 (11:17):
Hey, John Brandon Cottage Grove, Happy Freedom Friday. Just wanted
to remind everyone be safe this weekend during the deer
hunting rifle opener, and I hope everyone gets what they're
looking for. I'm still working online.
Speaker 13 (11:30):
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Thank you Brandon, appreciate the talkback. Let's go here on
a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 14 (11:38):
I got a question for you, John Justice. Yeah, I
have to put this on the edit. Out of all
three of your producers are all conservative or are they lunatic?
Liberals or are they somewhere in between?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I do not know, I do not care.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
It's actually really refreshing because, first off, anybody and this
has been like it's been like this for me, at
least my attitude about issues like this throughout my entire
talk radio career.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
When I was doing rock radio, it didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
But anybody who was producing or was running the board
or filling in, listen, if you didn't do your homework
prior to joining this show and didn't know what to expect,
it's it's partly on you. At the same time, for me,
it's a matter of knowing the roles of those that
(12:41):
work on the show and just how we treat each
other's as personalities, you know, how we should be in
real life, where ultimately, if our politics don't matter in
terms of the job that we are doing, then there's
no real reason to be going and discussing them. And
I would hope that in so far it's been the
case that anybody working on this show ends up judging
or having an opinion about me because how of how
(13:02):
I treat them, and less about what I end up
saying on the air. The only time I've told this
story before, but cracked me up.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
There was a guy that I.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Worked with for a long period of time, you know,
because I was in Tucson for for nine years and
I had worked he had, he'd been my producer and
board up for it was. It was a couple of
those years, real quiet, reserved, dude would laugh at what
I said on the air, got along just fine. And
it wasn't until his last day when when we were
(13:32):
basically you know, party ways is saying goodbye. He'd gone
and gotten another job and he'd set up fright. He's like,
I pretty much disagreed with everything that you said on.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
The air, but I really enjoyed working with you.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
And I was like, you know what, man, I had
absolutely no clue whatsoever, and you know, good on, good
on you.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So there we go.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
I did ask Sam if he was okay with me
asking that question on the air, because this is how
I roll. I try to be respectful by the way
Brandon's air. As you hear that I did, I was.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Very pleased about that.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
I didn't preview it because I know Brandon's talk back
to the audio is usually pretty clean, and so when
I heard.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It in the background, I was.
Speaker 15 (14:11):
I was.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I was very happy about Hell yeah, all right.
Speaker 14 (14:15):
Let's go here.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Nearly four months after Sidney Sweeney's American Eagle Jean's ad
made headlines, the Euphoria actress responded to the Good Genes controversy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You have to watch the video of this. It's already
become a meme.
Speaker 15 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
I've actually made one that put it up on x
if you follow me on j O N. John Justice
should go and h and check it out. But in
this clip, uh, the interviewer tried to set this clever
trap for Sweeney, right, kind of framing it as a favor,
(14:53):
and Sidney Sweeney just effortlessly.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Swerved out of it.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
I mean it and a lot of people are giving
Sidney Sweeney class or I'm excuse me, not class. She
doesn't have a lot of class, but they're giving her
a lot of credit here. And it's not to say
she doesn't deserve credit for this, but it was really
an instinctive and honest response. I mean, I think most
people like I tried to put myself in the similar situation.
(15:21):
I tried to place myself in Sidney Sweeney's spot in
this interview, and I thought to myself. Yeah, that's how
I would have reacted, just like, yeah, no, I'm not
going to take the bait on this. Ultimately, it's none
of your business. So online it's usually just the shorter
clip of the question about the.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Dual meaning of jeans and jeans and how she feels.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
I'm gonna play for you the entirety of this moment
because it again it's clear that the woman, the GQ
interviewer in this case, either subconsciously or intentionally, was sort
of setting Sweetey up before she basically handed her, you know,
an opportunity if she wanted to go and apologize. So
(16:08):
listen to this and then we'll talk about it coming
up in just a few minutes here on Twin Cities
News Talk and get to more of your talk backs
from the iHeartRadio app on a Freedom Friday.
Speaker 15 (16:18):
I'm literally in Jean's little two shirt, like every day
of my life.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Jeans are uncontroversial. Genes are awesome. You look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway. I mean, the President tweeted
about the genes AD or trude social about the genes
AD and that just seems to me like a very
crazy moment for anyone.
Speaker 16 (16:44):
And I wondered.
Speaker 15 (16:46):
What that was like.
Speaker 13 (16:48):
It was surreal, It was surreal, and it would be
totally human. I would probably feel like thankful that somebody
had my back public, you know, and conveniently some very
powerful people.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Had my back in public.
Speaker 13 (17:05):
And I'm wondered if if you felt that way.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's not that that feeling didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't have that feeling.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
But I wasn't thinking of it like that.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
So it was interesting here because Sidney Sweeney, she's not stupid.
She sends to what was coming. I mean, anybody could
if you're paying attention, you know. All right, this is
an attempt to lean into this controversy, but in an
uncontroversial way, because this GQ interviewer wants to get the
(17:45):
sound bite, and Sidney Sweeney, to her credit, pauses, waits,
thinks about it, understands what's going on, and chooses her
words very carefully.
Speaker 15 (17:57):
Like of any of it, I kind of just put
my phone away. I was filming every day filming Beuphoreia,
so I'm working like sixteen hour days and I don't
really bring my phone on set, so I work and
then I go home and I go to sleep.
Speaker 13 (18:13):
So I didn't really I don't really see a lot
of it. You've made a really good case for keeping
your thoughts and your life separate from that work. But
the risk is that you know, there's a chance that
somebody will get some idea about what you think about
certain issues and feel like I don't want see Christie
(18:36):
because of that, Like, do you worry about that?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe
specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke
about genetic superiority like that was kind of like the
criticism broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this,
I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk
about that specifically.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
I think that when I.
Speaker 15 (19:03):
I have an issue that I want to speak about,
people here.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Just absolutely brilliant. More coming up on Twin City's News
Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five Fman.
Speaker 17 (19:17):
Speaking of Sidney Sweeney. About two weeks ago, I went
to screen Unseen at AMC and the surprise movie that
they played was Christy. Sidney Sweeney played the main character.
The main character's name is Christy and she is a
female boxer. I guess it's a true story. She was
(19:40):
amazing Sidney Sweeney and Christy.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
Stop giving that demon bizzong away for free.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Make everybody get their tape recorder out and record it
from the radio like we always had to do back
in the nineties.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Has a tape recorder still I don't even have one anymore.
I mean, you're right, totally.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Used to have to do.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
But the station I've worked for before I came here, John,
they had not only had cassette players, they had four
track reel to reels in the studio.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And this was a.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Competing sports radio station. We'll just say that in the
Twin Cities market.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that's just lazy.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I mean, I assume they're using other equipment and they
just hadn't removed the old equipment.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
That has to that has to be or they still
actually using it. I mean, they weren't like actively using it,
But I don't know. That place had a lot of
old stuff just around.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
When I started at the first alternative rock station I
worked with worked at as an intern, they were still
using The morning show host that I was interning with
was still using a reel to reel had a razor
blade in studio because you'd have to you'd have to
sync it up and you know, and rotate the reel
back and forth to get the right you know, and
(21:00):
she would splice it and use little pieces of tape
and put it back together. And they still had what
we used, you know, called carts, which were essentially the
the eight tracks that you were that you were mentioning.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
It was, it was.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
It was really interesting because when I started, it quickly
transitioned afterwards, so I never had I might have worked
a shift or two on the weekends using the reel
to reel, I seem to recall, but I mean it
wasn't anything more than just a just a few months.
So at the same time, I mean, even the computer
(21:32):
system that we use in studio, you know, this is
this is still like MS doss looking it looks so
it looks so archaic, but it's tough to go and
update it because everybody uses it constantly and it's sort
of it almost needs to be more utilitarian in its
in its work. So you know, I'm not going to
give it to myself, but you know what I was
going to play twin Cities News Talk. I am eleven
(21:53):
thirty one oh three five FM. It is a Freedom
Friday broadcasting from the six five to one carpet Next
Day Install Studios.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
A lot of people picking.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Up on something that didn't immediately click in my mind
in this interview wherein the GQ reporter attempted to go
and bait Sidney Sweeney into responding to the American Eagles
at controversy, and Sweeney didn't take the bait. Basically he's tried,
(22:21):
you know, stayed politically neutral on it. Let me just
play a portion again, because a lot of you picked
up on something, and I guess I've just become so
accustomed to hearing it.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
It's now white noise.
Speaker 15 (22:31):
Literally in jeans and a T shirt like every day
of my life.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
Jeans are uncontroversial, gems are awesome, you look great in
your genes. I think I know how you're gonna answer this,
but I'm gonna ask anyway.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
I mean, the president on the Sidney Sweeney interview, I
couldn't make it past the Valley Girls speak at the beginning,
so I turned an eye down, but I listened to
two year analysis makes sense.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Good morning, John, Happy Friday to you and all the team.
Speaker 16 (23:04):
Why do all those reporters like to talk like.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
This and that way they do that at the end
of their interviews make them sound so weird.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Have a great weekend, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 18 (23:20):
Good morning, John, Thanks for putting that clip of Sydney
Sweeney being interviewed.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You're welcome, Scott.
Speaker 18 (23:24):
At first I had to do a double take because
I thought I was listening to the nineteen eighty three
movies starring Nicholas Cage called.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Valley Girl Fantastic.
Speaker 18 (23:32):
Oh my gosh, gag me with the spoon. My priorities
are kickball, golly golly like like here, the government's shutdown.
We're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and this is
all this country worries about. We are not a serious country.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
It is.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
It is Freedom Friday. You know, we're lightening things up.
I do have some serious things that we'll talk about
coming up here in a bit. We're gonna do a
deep dive into the filibuster. A lot of people asking,
you know, can you undo it and then put it
back in place?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You can.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But as you go sort of down.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The rabbit hole of the filibuster and look at history,
it becomes incredibly clear that both sides want to be
able to exploit the filibuster because it's it's a lot
more fluid than I had even thought.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
And we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 16 (24:21):
Sometimes you won't know when you're talking to a deranged liberal,
but sometimes it'll be completely obvious and the inflection of
their voice when the GQ interviewer says specifically.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to enforce
policy aimed at limiting transgender rights that would restrict to
sex designations on passports to male and female based on
sex assigned app birth. The Justice is granted this emergency
request filed by the administration seeking to reverse the pol
(25:00):
introduced by the Biden administration that allow people to put
X as a gender marker or self select male or female.
Three liberal justices on the conservative majority Court, of course, dissented.
The Trump policy effectively means the transgender people, even those
who have fully transitioned and have medical records to prove it,
would not be able to have gender markers that correspond
(25:22):
with their identities, something.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We'll talk about on Monday's show.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
And it's not gained a lot of momentum yet, but
I anticipate over the weekend it will is that apparently
the Supreme Court is poised to take up the issue
of gay marriage, and a lot of analysts are saying
that it seems more likely than not that the Supreme
Court could strike down nationwide gay marriage, much like they
(25:49):
did with abortion, and send it back to the States.
Of course, this would create a massive ripple effect of
criticism and commentary, which could also play into the filibuster
talk as well. So that is something that we will
be getting into in detail on Monday's show. Again, it's
just being talked about in a few outlets, but I
(26:10):
anticipate over the weekend it's going to grow quite a
bit and we'll spend some time on it on a
Monday Show.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
All Right From Newsmax, the Department.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Of Agricultures said that the beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance program will receive sixty five percent of their normal
allotment for November instead of the previously estimated fifty The
Department's Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services disclosed
the new rate earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
In a court filing. We mentioned this Briefly yesterday.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
The shrub administration told a federal judge that it would
tap into more than four billion in contingency funds to
distribute half of November's benefits during the ongoing government shutdown.
Under the revised figures, a family of four in the
contiguous United States will receive approximately six hundred and forty
six dollars in SNAP benefits or food stamps for the month.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
A federal judge, also.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
In Rhode Island overnight has essentially ordered a Trump to
act like a king and find money to fully SNAP fund,
beyond what the Trump administration said they were already going
to do. And listen, these are activist judges that are
perpetuating the leftist narrative that this is all Trump's fault.
(27:23):
This is why these judges are doing this. They don't
even know themselves how Trump is supposed to go and
find this money and legally going fund SNAP without Congress
getting involved.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But they simply do not care.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
They want to be able to aid the Democrats in
perpetuating this ridiculous nonsense that it's Trump's fault that people
aren't receiving their SNAP benefits, including Governor Tim Wallas, who
held the press conference yesterday and spouted the lie and
then went back to a controversy that actually ended like
three days ago.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
We'll get to this in just a moment.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Let me share this with you though, as I take
a look at the talkbacks rolling in from the iHeartRadio
app brought to you by Lindahl Realty Kaylee mcanaey on
Fox News talking about the filibuster and who is actually
hurting that's not being talked about as much in this
whole debate.
Speaker 19 (28:16):
Let me make this really simple. No one's winning, not Republicans,
not Democrats. When military members cannot pay their bills, when
air traffic controllers are calling out because they get zeros
on their paycheck, when our safety is at issue in
the side, no one is winning. We are all losing.
And why because Democrats they got a chance to vote
to pay the military. Fine, you don't want to open
up the government, how about pay the military essentil workers.
(28:36):
Guess how many Democrats voted to do that? Three John Fetterman,
Rafael Warnack, and John Ossoff. Three Democrats voted to pay
the military. Now, John Kennedy says, let's vote to remove
our pay until military members get paid can't wait to
see how many Democrats vote on that. Let me propose
a very simple solution here. Philibuster not in the constitution,
(28:57):
Philibuster not pass legislatively. Buster can be removed for the
sole purpose of spending bills. You could just remove the filibuster,
open the government. When military members are hurting, when we
are not safe in the skies, it is time to
nuke the filibuster for spending bills because Democrats are hurting
our country.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Now, as I mentioned, Governor Tim Walls held the press
conference and talking about these issues. Also, he spent the
He spends the first part of this thirty second clip.
I'm talking about Minnesota being a great place to live,
and it is. I'm not saying that, However, the metrics
by which Walls goes and points to these lists that
(29:38):
Minnesota lands on about being the best place to live
for a bunch of various reasons. Basically, these are all
outlets that are that are you know, check marking boxes
relating to progressive policies that have been adopted here by
Democrats that lend themselves to the various crit that they
(30:00):
put forward for us to land on this list. Yeah,
even in these lists that taut different states and which
places are better for the economy and children. Yeah, they're
also biased, just like the legacy media. And then towards
the end, it's really interesting because Walls does his tell
where he pauses for a moment because he knows he's
(30:21):
about to lie, and then he moves forward with a
lie in an argument that was from like three or
four days ago that never gained any traction, but Walls
just couldn't.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Let it go.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
I think we have shown that in many categories we
rank at or near the very top in quality of life.
But I think the focus in all of those races
is is that we have to bring down the cost
of life for many people. And that means things like childcare,
it means things like housing, and it certainly means things
like food and the food insecurity issue that we saw.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
And again I.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Don't know for what it's worth. My pro tip to
the president of view is don't hold great gadsby parties
on the night before you're going to punish people for
being hungry. It is not a sin to be poor.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
God, he's such a loser.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Perpetuating the lie that Trump is somehow responsible for the
snap benefits when it just is a byproduct of the
Democrats keeping the government shut down. Everybody knows that, and
yet he continues to spout this lie and then attempts
to use what several people did in the wake of
(31:28):
this Halloween party that was pre planned at the White House,
including this editorial that I want to share with you
some details from in the Star Tribune written by co Vang.
Trump's great gaspeed moment, partying it up while Americans go hungry.
I'll share with you a few points from this, and yes,
(31:48):
we are going to go ahead and put it on
our never ending parade of stupid this morning, President Donald
Trump writes Kavang through a great Gatsby party this past
weekend at mar A Lago while millions of Americans lost
their Snap benefits. It's one thing to eat cake and
drink champagne while others starve. It's another to rent a
(32:12):
jazz band, pour champagne into a tower, and rub it
in our faces while calling its presidential leadership.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You know, and once again, you.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Had all these Democrats that were reposting videos and snapshots
from this party. If they were really concerned about this
being offensive to individuals who are on Snap then why
did you go and continue to spread it around for
those individuals to see just out of curiosity?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And of course there's no discussion or mention at all.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Of the essentially a weekend wine tasting party that a
bunch of Democrats went on in Napa, California in the
wake of the shutdown beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
No, of course not.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
CoV And goes on to say, we all read The
Great Gatsby in high school, or at least pretended to
some of us just to watch the Leonardo DiCaprio movie
and decided that was good enough. But even those who
never got past the spark Notes version, remember how it ends.
Jay Gatsby, a man obsessed with wealth and illusion, ends
up floating dead in his pool. I don't know if
(33:16):
Trump read f Scott Fitzgerald or reads it all, but
he's clearly mastered one of Gatsby's tragic flaws, pretending glitter
is gold. This could have been a Scooby Doo themed party,
and this hack would have written an editorial slamming it.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
And which way is it?
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Because Kavang in this piece she does this a few times,
like is he illiterate? Or is he the evil villain
that held this party to throw it in the faces
of poor people. Because she makes several comments in here,
I don't know if he knows how to read or
if he even read it. So again, which one is it?
(33:59):
Trump's gat to be so sore? Was his Marie Antoinette
let them eat cake moment? Except the cake was gold leafed,
the caviar imported, and the guests list limited to people
who don't know the price of a gallon of milk.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Meanwhile, the SNAP program is being gutted.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
No, it's just been suspended, and it's probably the people
that Kavan supports.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
That suspended it. I just there's no nothing being okay anyway.
She goes on to right, well, okay.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
She spends two paragraphs then laying out why SNAP is
important as which you know, as if nobody knew talking
about children and you know, service workers and the like.
She goes on to say, I read The Great Gatsby
as a student in Saint Agnes High School in Saint Paul,
learning that Fitzgerald himself was born and raised in the
same city. I keep picturing Trump dancing with Milania and
(35:00):
his designer sequined gown, pretending to be Gatsby and Daisy,
when really they're more like Edgar Allen Poe's Prince Prospero
and his courtiers in Mask of the Red Death. Listen,
you know the argument is flimsy when she needs to
(35:20):
go and spend this much time one explaining why it's
super offensive and then two trying to find other examples
of why this is all super offensive. On Monday, Trump's
administration said it would partially fund SNAP for November, but
only after two judges issued rulings requiring the government to
keep the nation's largest food aid program running.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
That's actually not true.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
The Trump administration was looking for ways to go and
fund it anyhow, and did so even without the judge ruling.
But be that as it may, I don't expect this
individual to actually go and seek the proper context and truth.
And again she wraps her piece up with Trump may
have I've never read The Great Gatsby.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Okay. If that's the case, then.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
He's completely unaware about how this could be viewed as
inappropriate or Mask of the Red Death. But the moral
is waiting for him at the end of his own party.
You can build walls, well the doors, and pour all
the champagne you want but hunger seeps through everything, and
in real life and in books, the party always ends
(36:24):
when the people outside get tired of starving. Just ask
Marie Antoinette and Jay Gatsby how their parties ended.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I said it before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
If Trump was really really all that evil, wouldn't you
have a host of other things to point to rather
than spinning out of control over a pre planned Halloween
party that every single administration does every year. Completely Separate
from the ongoing shutdown and the snap benefits, we'll get
(37:02):
to more of your comments coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk. We'll dive further into the filibuster talk
and the shutdown. Got a lot more audio to play
from Trump and a couple of clips that may have
you change my tune on the filibuster. We've got a
lot of your talkbacks already that have rolled in. We'll
get to those next here on a Freedom Friday, as
Catherine Johnson and Grace Keening for American Experiment to join
(37:24):
us in studio here on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you
heard about that problem?

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