Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good morning everyone, Freedom Friday, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I think if the Republicans.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Want to negotiate with the Democrats, their starting points should
be let's get everybody who can work off of Snap,
Let's get the illegals off of snap. Let's get the
illegals out of the country. Quit fighting us on the deportation,
and we can talk about the American citizens who actually
need it versus the ones who are just taking advantage
of it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I like your comments. Well, first off, I like your
backtop comment. Yeah, totally, it doesn't work. No, it doesn't
talk back your talkback comment from the iHeartRadio app here
on TWMIN City's News Talk, brought to you by Lindahl Realty.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I like it in spirit, but.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You're not going to negotiate with Democrats on anything rational
right now. It's not going to happen. I'm going to
continue to sort of bang the drum of there's no
point in debating right now with the left. And I
don't care what you know of democrat you.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Are at the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
If you consider yourself moderate extreme, it doesn't matter your
party has been taken over by radicals. You align with
these Democrats far too often on too many issues, and
I was talking about this at length yesterday. Not that
I wanted to wipe out on this right now, but
I had no idea about the Minneapolis Times. Where any
of you guys apart from the That's what I found
(01:23):
out was the precarious state documentary. I found out about
the Minneapolis Times. So where any of you guys aware
of this publication? I was not Catherine ak Kamara, Catherine Johnson,
no representative Max Rymer. No, it's actually a decent, decent publication.
I've been spending some time on that this week online.
I don't know if they have a physical but they're Democrats,
(01:44):
but they've been pushing back against the leadership in Minneapolis
and they've had some really fantastic insight. As a matter
of fact, I did grab a story this morning. I
don't know if you guys had had heard about this,
and it's in the staff for today. If we don't
get a chance to get to it in detail here
on Twin City's News Talk from the six to five
(02:05):
to one carpet next Day install studios on our Halloween
Freedom Friday. I'll certainly be talking about it at length
on Monday. But there was a man that was murdered
outside his South Minneapolis workplace on Thursday morning.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Somebody was trying to steal his car.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
He tried to stop the person from stealing his car,
and the guy that was trying to steal his car
murdered him. Police Chief O'Hara actually came and spoke out
about it. But I found an article in the Minneapolis
Times from overnight foot dragging by the council equates to
defunding the police. And what they talk about is what's
been happening within the Minneapolis city leadership is that they've
(02:43):
gone to fund law enforcement. We actually have some new recruits,
but when it goes to move forward with those recruits
and training, the council has been dragging their feet across
the board, keeping those law enforcement officers from actually getting
trained and getting out onto the streets.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
And what they point out.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Is that you've got the Democrat socialist platform of defund
the police. You have other council members that aren't aligned
with the Democrats socialists, but they're voting with them ninety
four percent of the time. So this is just going
all the way back to this talkback of negotiating with
Democrats right now, and you just simply cannot negotiate with
them on any of these on any of these these issues,
(03:26):
and they shouldn't be negotiated with based off of how
their party has adopted these far left radical positions.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
If you legitimately believe that there is a policy outcome
or a legislative outcome that Democrats at the federal level
are shooting for and trying this, you've already kind of
lost the plot about what Democrats are right now. There
is not a policy outcome they're hoping for. What they're
hoping for is to damage Donald Trump and Republicans by
(03:56):
dragging this out and whatever means necessary they use to
get there, they're going to And I just think the
nuking the filibuster idea, that would be like an outcome
they would be rooting for.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, that's one hundred percent of right Max.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
And part of why I was confused when this all
first started, because what the Democrats were really digging their
feet in on to me is so absurd. This expand
the COVID expansion of these ACA subsidies is so specific
for people who don't.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Often really need them or are illegal immigrants. Why would
they choose this issue? It's not about the issue.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
It is about getting after Trump, getting after the Republicans.
There is no policy outcome that they actually are fighting for.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
And I'll actually push back a little bit that I
don't think it's about policy. I actually do think that
fundamentally it's because of leftist Marxist policy that they are afraid.
Democrats are afraid of their Marxist base, and I think that, honestly,
the nail was hit on the head when Speaker Johnson
was talking about the fear that Chuck Schumer has and
(04:58):
that he is going to lose power. Democrats are going
to lose power because they've allowed Marxists in their ranks,
and so if they do not stand up to allow
illegal aliens to continue to receive benefits and assistance, it's
the death of their party from those that are currently
in leadership, and so they're fighting for their lives. And
(05:19):
so that's why it's fascinating that I think they would
be okay with having food riots. Democrats will be okay
if everyone blamed Republicans because then that allows them to
keep the power that they have, and that's that's what
it's about. So it's tied to policy, but the real
root is them losing power.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So are you so when you when you say they're
worried about their Marxist based are you looking at it
from a perspective of electorally speaking, like they're worried about
their own Democrats losing seats to more radical Marxism within
their party.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, within the Democrat apparatus.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So let me let me challenge a little bit on that,
because I question whether or not Democrats care which Democrats
get elected. I mean, do they really give a rip
at this point in time if Mom Donnie wins.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Are they concerned about that?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Do they care if a radical Marxist gets elected as
long as they're a Democrat?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I mean, does that really matter to them?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Because I understand what you're saying, but I'm also looking
at this from a standpoint of the Democrats just want
power and they don't really care who ends up winning
that particular seed. I mean, they gloss over so many
crimes by individuals running for office. I mean, just look
at what happened with the Cole Mitchell for example, for
crying out loud. But I'll stop my filibuster and yeah, response.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Well, I think it is about the power of the
people that are currently in there. So when you see
someone go out there, obviously Bernie AOC. They've been part
of that progressive wing, the Marxist wing of the Democrats forever.
But to see how Keen Jeffries come out and endorse
Mom Donnie, he would not do that under regular circumstances
because he doesn't represent that same brand.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So I think it's specifically.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
About the old school Wolves put in quotations Democrats. They
want to make sure that they stay in power. And
I do think like even here in Minneapolis, the conversations
that I'm hearing Democrats have in their civil War, like
they are literally saying that if you support Jacob Frye,
you are a mega white Republican supremacist, that's what they're
(07:25):
trying to frame it as. And if you don't support
Omar Fate, then you're not with the people. And in fact,
I had this conversation last night with my younger brother
Shout to my brother Azis, and he was explaining that
they don't believe that the DFL actually represents their progressive interests.
They view the DFL, the standard boilerplate DFL, as the
(07:47):
right because and they'll even say that, they'll say all
the money that has gone into funding those programs were
used incorrectly, not the way that the Marxists DSA Socialists.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Want to be able to actually imagine.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So they view that in New York that Cuomo represents
basically the corrupt version of the Democrats and Mom Donnie
is the true voice of the people, not dissimilar to
how the right views like, Oh, you're a rhino versus
you're the real America First.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And that's the way that the left looks.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
But my point is is that they're beholden the Democrats
because they are deathly afraid that they're going to lose power,
because I think they will because they just they've lost
the plot and they allow these crazy radical Marxists to
come into the party. Versus on the right, what is
the America First movement? It's kind of like this populous
economic system. It's not far right wing, but they try
(08:41):
and frame it that way. Ultimately, the Marxist will destroy
this country over long enough trajectory.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Yeah, I do think that's right to a degree. Ak
the establishment Democrats need something they can hang their hat
on to say, look, this is what I did to
stop Trump, to stop and support that progressive base especially when,
as Max noted earlier, Schumer himself is in a situation
where he desperately needs to make himself look a little
more progressive than he has in the past.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah, bringing it back to like Minnesota and that election
with Jacob Fry, for a long time we talked about
Mary Moriarty and just how extreme she was. I would
just say, from my observation being in the House and
just observing politics, there is actually a paper thin difference
in my opinion between a guy like Tim Walls and
Mary Moriarty policy wise. Yeah, it's just how vocal and
(09:33):
how you're framing it, but I would say there's probably
less than a five percent difference on the true things
they actually believe.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Let's go to the talkbacks here briefly on Twin Cities
News Talk.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Stop lying dummies about the cops situation in Minneapolis.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
You could go ahead and.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Pay him five hundred thousand dollars a year, and you
still can't recruit him because nobody trusts the government.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh okay, stop being stupid, quick Curson on the talkback,
because I can't play them in there. You're flat out wrong.
I'm looking at the data right now. I have the
story here in front of me from the Minneapolis Times.
It shows the number of officers we have, the number
of new recruits moving through, the number that are stalled
because of what the Minneapolis City Council is doing.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
So feel free to continue to push.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Back on me and what I'm talking about on the air,
but I actually have the data here in front of me,
and I'm more than happy to go and play your
foll with the show talkback, but quit cursing on them,
because I can't go and play those back when you
go and do that. Now that being said, we're gonna
take a quick break.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
John's heated.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I just get I just get annoyed, Like I want
good commentary, right and I want and I want the
individuals who disagree with the show to leave talkbacks, and
so many of them are too cowardly to go and
do so, and then the few that do, they come
up with these insane, stupid, vapid and ignorant posts. And
I'm just going guys, do better, I mean really, because
(10:55):
you're not doing a good job for your side.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
And these are individuals that.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Will go back back and forth with agreeing me some
you know, agreeing with me on some things.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And then disagreeing with me on others.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I'd love to have a healthy dialogue, but if
you're going to act like a moron, I'm sorry, I'm
going to call you out for being a.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
More happy Halloween baby.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
All right, we will give you an update, and I
failed to do this earlier. We don't have a lot
of details, but we mentioned that there was an announcement
earlier this morning by Cash Betel, the director of the FBI,
that they did thwart a Halloween terror plot. All that
we know where there were some individuals arrested in Michigan
that apparently were planning on carrying out a terrorist attack
over this Halloween weekend. So we should have some further
(11:36):
details later on today. But that's all we know so far.
A potential terrorist attack, multiple subjects in Michigan who were
allegedly plotting this. With more details on the way, But
thank you to Director Cash Betel and uh and our
and our FBI for going and stopping this attack from
from taking place. All right, run a late quick break
here on Twin Cities News Talk Get to your talkbacks
(11:57):
coming up, brought to you by Lindahl Realty. If you're
not being stupid, here on Twin City's News Talk Am

the free iHeartRadio app Now just in time for Halloween.
The talkback certainly have gotten terrifying. Twin Cities News Talk
(12:20):
Am eleven thirty one oh three five FM. From the
sixty five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. My
name is John Justice, Sam next door in the Master
Control booth Safety in Numbers. We've got Ak Kamara, RNC
committeemen and business owner.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And amazing Tim Walls impersonator.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that was incredible, It was it was something we
have Katherine Johnson from American Experiment American Experiment podcast every Tuesday.
Thank you for coming in, Thank you for having me.
Representative Max Raymer, good morning. So that you've all been
having just a very lively conversation about a host of
incredibly relevant things that I was not a part of
because I was spending too much time going through the
(12:59):
multitude to talkbacks that have been rolling in since the
last segment. All Right, some people have gotten rather unhinged,
very upset. I don't have time to play all of
these there's not enough hours in the day, upset about
a lot to pay to play all of these Well,
let's go to let's.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Just go to this one. How's this so?
Speaker 10 (13:16):
And here's another thing, John. You also talk about statistics
and this and that, but all the comments that you
talk about throughout the day, throughout your shows and this
and that over I've been listening for a long time.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
It sounds like you never leave your house.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
And all you do is get your statistics and your
opinions off of a screen instead of actually going down
to places and seeing it with your own two eyes.
Your believing statistics that are set are also by AI,
which is being manipulated to hide the truth right in
front of our phrase, and you don't want.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
To see it.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
So can you get you? Well, first off, that's that
first part is actually they're true. The first part's true, right,
I actually.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Go and collect all my own data to conduct all
my own research and pulling.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Personally, Yeah, I do leave the house. I mean I
had to come here.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You're not here. What he's talking about this is all AI.
They don't go to go and say that you pulled
the curtain bag.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
You get out of your millionaire mansion John to come
down to the radio station every now and again.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Heky, you say stuff like that, and the voices in
his brain are going to convince me that it's true.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Listen, man, I'm not stealing your spoons, bro.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And also, so can you just go out in public
and just grab stats? Like if I just go down
to downtown Minneapolis and I just look around, I can
go and immediately gauge like how many homeless there are,
how many pops are on the street, how many are
being recruited, how many have not been trained yet. So
if I just go, just if I just go there
after the show, I can just get.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
All that information.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
I had a similar conversation with someone about the Minneapolis
Third Police Precinct about when it started on fire. And
the argument that I made is that there were police
in the building when fires were started. And I got
into this huge argument with Reverend Tim Christopher and another
guy that were like, that's not true. And I played
them video breaking down that the building was on fire
wall cops were still in it and They're like, we
(15:02):
were there, we didn't see no fire.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And I'm like, can you see all around the entire building?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
What are you talking about and I was like, here's
multiple sources, and they're like, okay, well you made it
sound like the whole building was engulfed in flames and like,
you know, fires are shooting out of the window. I'm like,
I literally just said that the when and the fires
were started.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But it's like, oh, you don't go down there. We
were there.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
It's like, yeah, but I have the Internet and I
can watch videos and I can read reports that give
me an unbuas view whereas your views bias. So yeah,
let's go collect all of our own data and make
our own polling. And if if we don't do it,
we can't trust it because the internet lies.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
The argument that anecdotes are way stronger evidence than facts.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You're a little insane. It's very liberal. It's like your truth.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, my if I went out and did my own polling,
tim Walls would happen one percent approval rating exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yes, all right, let's go here.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Are you okay? I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's just you know, you think that you've seen it
all and heard it all for the number of years
that I've been doing this, and it's just like, really,
you still get surprised, You really really do. Oh, and
he's mentioned many times he's a you know, he staunch
Trump supporter. But Trump hasn't done ninety percent of what
he promised to do, so only ten percent of promises
(16:25):
made promises Captain gotcha. According to Beckmandy all Right, a
well known Minnesota nonprofit that collected millions of dollars in
state grants, continued to rake in taxpayer money even after
its board chair was charged in a massive medicaid fraud case.
According to Channel five investigates and their review of court
records in state.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Natah, Oh my god, no way surprising. I can't believe
this is happening in the state.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Who do nonprofit kai Jung was once celebrated by politicians
and local officials, and even one wars he works with
the Somali children.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Kai Jung, it's ka sounds legit.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It's k a g o O g So Google or
is it coo?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Am I doing that wrong?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know. I'm a little rusty Onali, but I
think it's cock Google.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Is it co cock goog or cog jug?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I literally don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Might not the most.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Will believe me Goog.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
The group's status in the community appeared to take a
substantial hit two years ago, when Ali Elami, the chair
of cog Joub's board, was charged with the largest medicaid
fraud case at the time. Court record show the Minnesota
Attorney General's office accused el Me, along with a group
of defendants, of stealing more than nine million from personal
(17:49):
care assistance programs managed by the Department of Human Services.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Channel five obtained.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Financial data showing that even after the fraud charges came
down in the follow twenty twenty three, DHS continued to
send cog June Juog more than six hundred thousand dollars
in public money. Can we can we not nuke DHS
from orbit? Just to be sure for those that get
that reference? I mean, who who do we even know
(18:17):
who was working?
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Like?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Do we know who they? I asked that all the time.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yes, I asked that all the time because DHS during
the trifecta grew by whatever it was so and so percentage,
and it's like, what is the role here? Who's doing anything?
Are we doing any site visits? Are we looking into
any paperwork at all? When you have situations, I would
look into paperwork if I were in the DHS, if
(18:42):
a company was.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Called cog goog okay.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I would look at it just for the name alone.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That doesn't sound legit.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
We were discussing this off off the air, regarding what
Governor Tim Wallas is doing in halting. We talked about
this yesterday and this just falls into it. I mean,
let's add this to the list of the of the
different entities out there that are committing these acts of
fraud and another example of DHS just simply turning a
blind eye to all of it and continuing to cut
(19:13):
checks to these particular entities even when they're accused of fraud.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But we were.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Talking off the air, you know, Walls has stopped payment
of fourteen different social services programs out there.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
He's got this.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
New inspector General that he went and hired, and now
he's spending two point three million for Optuum Health, who's
partnered with United Health to go and do the investigating
into all of this. And again I go back to
the question of DHS. There's nobody inside the government that
can simply look at the books for a substantially less
amount of taxpayer dollars to figure out what is going
(19:48):
on with these entities. I don't buy any of this
stuff that's being talked about right now coming out of
the Walls administration.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
And that's why I've constantly and continually.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Said this is by does.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
This is a redistribution of wealth scheme on a massive scale.
And I think that the reason why you're not going
to see it is because so many people would be
implicated that they would go to prison. And I think
that Walls is just picking specific things that he feels,
you know, this is like what I'm going to sacrifice up.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So but with that, and then we got to take
a break here because I want to make sure we
have enough time in the next two segment and for
everybody to be able to comment.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
But with that, so the endgame would simply be that
Walls wants to get re elected.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
He wants to get to next year's state elections to
see how things shake out. And if the DFL and
Democrats were to retain power, do you think they continue
to do the investigations on this or does it all
just slip it all just become a distant a distant memory.
Because I do agree with you, I think at this
point in time, to look at what is transpired, either
(20:49):
willfully or ignorantly, they left these programs completely open and
vulnerable for fraud to be committed. And so therefore, if
they're trying, if they're saying there when they want to
tackle it right now, you and I both know, we
all know that they don't really want to do that.
So is that simply the the end game? We want
to get past the elections and then we'll just try
to shove all this off.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Yeah, so I think this is like basically like a
test kite. If they can get re elected after all
of this, then it's like, oh, it's gloves off, Like
we're untouchable. We just have to give the every once
in a while, we'll just pick a few people, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sorting hat.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
Sorry, man, you're the one that we got to have
law enforcement enforcement again.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Like, Ah, don't worry, you're.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Gonna your family's gonna be taken care of. All your
cousins are. She'll gonna get all their fundings. So you're good, dude.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
All right, talk back of the day coming up the
final segment of the show. On a Halloween Freedom Friday,
you never know what's gonna transpire in the next few minutes.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
As we take a quick.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Break here on Twin City's news Talk Am eleven thirty
and one of three five FM.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Man, what's called a Trump derangement problem?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Have you heard about that problem? And on my heart
radio what's your smart speaker? I think I speak for
a lot of the audience when I say what the
hell was that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
The host the host of Too.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Yeah, John and then told me that you get all
your stats from AI, So that means it can't be true.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
According to your polls of the show that say you
have to get out of him experience. What's going on
to know the chew Well, they get their information from CNN,
and then I stick to see if they're not saying
that I need product creak in Minnesota, and if they
actually drive down to the capital and stare at at
long enough, they're not doing any product cream.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I do love that idea that if we just get
out in public more often and just stare at things,
we'll just get all the information that we need.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
But every time I.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Go to the city of Minneapolis, I'm confirmed in what
I believe already that that place is a.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
H L L whole nice nicely yeah, nicely done.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
That was a good catch on all fronts there, and
that was good at double hockey stick works as well.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Good morning, John.
Speaker 13 (23:03):
I guess it's pretty apparent that John, you work a
very thankless job, right You get up very early in
the morning, go to.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Bed very early at night, keep talking brother.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
And do a great job preparing for the show. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
You get people that just want to rate you in
a very hateful way, I know, which is.

to be washed. So I asked Melinda and she gave
me the side eye. I'm like, why are giving me
the side eye? And she's like, because that's what goes
and breaks the washing machine because it gets off balance
and it starts knocking around.

the nation prepares to fall back to standard time on Sunday,
(25:19):
Senator Tom Cotton took to the Senate floor earlier this
week to oppose a measure that would make daylight saving
time permanent and force millions of Americans to start their
winter days in the dark. Cotton said the Sunshine Protection
Act would make winter a dark and dismal time for
(25:41):
people in his home state and many others across the country.
In January of nineteen seventy four, millions of Americans traveled
to work and school in darkness, said Tom Cotton. Commuter
trains were delayed, school children carried flashlights. Tragically, some of
these kids were struck by cars and killed while walking
(26:01):
to school in the dark. One woman at the time
told The New York Times that she couldn't cope anymore
and was just staying in bed.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
What calamity had befallen our nation?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Cotton asked, Had the Soviet Russia finally attacked America? Had
we suffered a nationwide power outage? He continued, Were the
heavens conspiring to plunt our nation in the darkness?
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Now?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
He told his colleagues, the answer was more mundane and foolish.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
You see, a few months earlier, Congress, in its internal wisdom,
had imposed a top down change on every America's daily life,
eliminating standard time and adopting daylight savings year round. Such
a change to the nation's clock had never happened before,
Accepted as an emergency rationing measure during wartime. While briefly popular,
it proved deeply unpopular when reality set in. According to
(26:47):
opinion polls, supported support for permanent daylight saving time fell
by thirty percentage points in just three months. Only a
few weeks after it was implemented, it was underwater. Congressional
lawmakers then beat a hasty retreat, said Cotton, repealing the
law and changing clocks back to October.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
The experiment was.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Originally intended to run for two years, and it ended
in abject failure.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
After less than one.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
The Arkansas Republican then said, if Congress passes the Sunshine
Protection Act, it would have proven that it failed to
learn from the nineteen seventy four experiment.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Remember when Tom Cotton was like a presidential candidate. Yeah,
and now he's been reduced to impassioned monologues on daylight
saving times.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Tell if he was serious or not.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I think he's deadly serious.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I'm just tired of having this debate every single year,
whether we end it now and this is the last
time we change our clocks, or we do it one
more time next year when we spring forward.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I just wanted to be over.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
I just I have a solution for all of this,
which is, you know, his complaint and the complaint I
usually hears.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Kids have to go to school in the dark. Let
the kids go to school later in the day. They
don't have to go to.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
School at seven thirty a.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah, start school.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Later in the day.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
That's my solution.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I mean, I think it's a fair solution.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I still think ultimately, keep right now, let's just not
change the clocks at all, And just this is the time,
right now, the moment, right now, right the moment, this moment,
right now is the time and just don't think about it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
So don't fall back on Sunday night.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Do not fall back because we only have another month
and what twenty two twenty one days of shortening of days,
so like a month from now, yeah, maybe another half
hour earlier darkness.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Like, just keep it where it's at right now. Man,
I'm ignorant on the topic.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What is the solution that doesn't make it go dark
so late in.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The afternoon or so early in the afternoon? Where it
is right now? Okay?
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Is it where it is right now? Or is it
springing forward and leaving it there?
Speaker 7 (28:45):
No falling falling back is moving us back. So if
we keep it where it's at right.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Now, then I'm okay. I'm in agreement with ak Okay.
I don't want it to be pitch dark at four
or fifteen in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I hate that.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
I hate So you leave it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
We don't fall We leave it here, which we did
the same as changing it and then springing forward and
stopping it next year.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Sama, do you want to add anything to listen?
Speaker 12 (29:06):
No, you got there, that's I was going to say.
So falling back means that it gets darker earlier. We
go back to standard time. So staying in in permanent
daylight time means that instead of being dark at four thirty,
it's it's five thirty, which I mean, does it really
matter at that point?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yes, it matters, no, man.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
It matters deeply when it comes to just like for
me personally, it's completely irrelevant my opinion because of the
hours that I keep because I'm going to bed at
six thirty time.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
It's start all the time, it stark all the time.
I will tell you that it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (29:38):
It does.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I have a thing when I'm driving into work and
I know that I'm running behind later in the year,
so when we spring forward when it gets lighter earlier,
and then I feel like that makes me uncomfortable because
I'm so used to driving in in the dark.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But again I keep, I keep odd. You know, vampires,
are you driving in at like five thirty or whatever?
Five four four? It shouldn't be laid at four, It
can be laid at four thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Then again, I shouldn't be talking about this at all.
According to some talkbackers on the IHET radio, and here
we get.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
John, You're talking like you've never experienced daylight saving time.
You must sit behind your computer all day long and
not experience it. You just pull stats from the computer
about daylight saving time. You need to go outside more
where you can collect stats for the skies, from the grass,
from the cows. They'll give you some stats on daylight
(30:30):
savings time. Have a great day. Oh and I forgot.
It's not savings, it's saving right exactly. I did that.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
You guys are gonna get me killed. That's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna upset these foes of the show.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
You better check your back seat getting in your car, John.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
It's nice My new car has a has a warning
for that.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
It says like check your backs does ily check that?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Which makes me really really happy because I don't look
behind my shoulder every time I get into it when
I leave for work and I go and I leave
to go.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Home from work.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Hi, John, I'm here to collect a stat one.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Thank you for that, because I felt like things were
getting a really dark and studio for there for just
literally with daylight saving time.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeahs from New Brighton.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Every time we'd have this argument about daylight savings, I
just think to myself, move it a half hour in between.
It would match in media, which is on that schedule,
set it and forget it and let's be done with it.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Thank you know what, let's go the full liberal route
on this, and let's just let's just say time is
a construct.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
It's whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
It to be.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yes, name your own time, name your own time, time blindness. Yeah,
time on blindness. It's done. Yes, that's good. Yeah, that's
where we are, right. Why should you have to be
beholden to any time? What if you are if it's.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Noon and you're like, you know what, though I really
feel like it's six, Why can't it just be six?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Well?
Speaker 7 (31:53):
John, were you to say not all as privileges you
to have our own time machines?
Speaker 15 (31:57):
That's so good morning. Oh my gosh, I am so
tired of listening to everyone, including all of you, and
I love you all to death, this great show, this
daylight saving time thing. Let it alone.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It is just what it is.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Oh my gosh, get over it.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
It's an hour.
Speaker 15 (32:19):
It's just an hour.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Okay, you say that, But when you say leave it alone,
do you mean like, leave it as it is right now?
Or do you mean that we should go and change
the clocks come Sunday morning? I mean you're leaving me
confused here. I don't know exactly what it is that
you're you're looking for.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Leave alone falling back and springing forward. She is pro
losing an hour again in an hour.
Speaker 12 (32:41):
I'll offer a controversy here. I'm probably the only person
who does not like fall back. I much prefer spring ahead.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yeah you are, yeah, yeah, okay, it's like or you
exactly explain yourself. You want to lose you you like
losing time? Yeah, so why do you like that?
Speaker 12 (32:55):
I prefer spring ahead because the reason you don't like
is because it gets lighter or the lights. It's lighter
longer in the day, so I feel like I have
more energy and I can adjust to being an hour
ahead easier than I can to fall an hour back.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't like it because I'm losing an hour. Like
I like it this weekend because I know I gained
an hour. So that means, you know, hey, I got
an extra hour partying. So as soon if you like
to go out to the bar, we get that. We
get to be here technically an hour later. Man, don't
shut her down. We got a free hour.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Let's just get rid of the daylight savings.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Time for good.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I mean, we have lights now, it's not that big
of a deal to have a light on or.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Put l DC about your kid.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
This is one of my favorite debates, by the way,
and I just say.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
I'm starting to join in with the woman who said
get over it, like the very Minnesotan way.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I've lost the plot and I'm surprised you haven't landed
there earlier.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Usually you look the first one out, Good.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Morning, everybody, that's chat from Dellana.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
I'd say leave it like this and don't set the
clocks back, because if we leave it like that, it's.
Speaker 11 (34:08):
Going to be getting light out at four am in
like June and July.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
I don't think people want the sun blared in their
windows at four point thirty in the morning.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Thanks by, I don't know, I don't care. Hey, why
why does half of Arizona like not abide by this
right for this reason?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Because they they it's Arizona and Indiana don't observe daylight
saving time.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
It is so confusing just and it's only in my world,
but it's so confusing because I have so many contacts
in Arizona, and then we've had people on the show
so often that live there, and when it comes to
the time change, it's.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Just like I have to you're you an hour behind
or two hours right now?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I have to You don't have no idea how many
times a year I still haven't figured it out after
all these years, I have to google what time is
it in California?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
What time is it in.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Arizona, because I still have been able to sort of
figure out which time of year it is.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Just think about it right now, at the time in
Arizona is the time that it will remain. So when
we fall back an hour, then Arizona will be two
hours behind us.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
That's what's gonna happen. Yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah, Catherine Johnson left, I didn't. I didn't even have
a chance to say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
What's your favorite costume? Everyone?
