Speaker 1 (00:09):
Pony, John Gonzo.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I served him seventy four to seventy eight, and on
this Veterans Day, I thank God for Trump and for
our men and women that are still willing to go
into the service. And there's a huge uptick in patriotism,
which I really really love. You joined the military, and
you join a brotherhood that you really can't describe. You
(00:32):
have friends for life, stories for life, a lot of laughs,
a lot of hard work.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But God, it so Godzo ran at a time. I'm
gonna afford him the opportunity to finish his comment.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sorry, John Gonzo, just to finish it off. God, it
was a great experience. And uh, nobody ever told me
my oath was descended when I left the military and
it will never die until I pass away.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Have a good day, Have Vettan's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
To all the.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Brothers and sisters that are in the military.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I am so glad to see so many vets that
are running for office in the state. That is the
only way you're going to turn this state around. Instead
of electing socialist democrats that can't even run their own
life and family, let alone a state or a country.
We do need proven people that have defended this country
and know what the country's all about, rather than turning
it over to a third world country.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Thank you for the top backs from the iHeartRadio app
brought to you by Lyndahl Realty here on Twin Cities
News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five
FM from the sixty five to one Carpet Next Day
install studios. Speaking of radical socialists, the city of Dynah
the latest to provide symbolic assistance to Governor Tim Walls
(01:48):
and his anti firearm agenda as they seek to join
the Twin Cities in passing a meaningless and potentially law
breaking ordinance. So again, while Democrats constantly accused Trump of
being an authoritarian king, these democrat run cities willfully ignore
the rule of law for the sake of peddling the
(02:10):
leftist agenda. So Rob dor at the Minnesota Gun Owner's
Caucus posted this yesterday responding to a Dyna letter to
the Dynasity Council on their proposed firearm ordinance. Clouncil, my
word the loss clear, and so's the message. A. Dinah's
(02:30):
proposed firearm ordinance raises serious legal concerns, as any such
measure violates Minnesota's preemption statute. Any ordinance in conflict with
that statute is void, even if the city attempts at
gimmicks such as a deferred enforcement scheme. Your city's residents
deserve confidence that their leaders act within lawful bounds.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You know, not like kings.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I just want to.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Every lawless act of defiance to state law only weakens
public confidence in sound civic governance. You can avoid that
mistake by respecting preemption's statewide safeguard. Needlessly provoking litigation serves
no one, a, drains taxpayer resources, diverts energy from legitimate
(03:19):
civic priorities. History has proven that point, as every court
that entered excuse me that encountered similar local preemption violations
has reached the same conclusion. When duly elected state law
occupies the field of policy, municipal governments must yield. Any
cities that defined preemption have met the same fate in court,
(03:44):
those cities may test their reach. The judiciary has spoken
with clarity, preemption simply leaves no tolerance for local intervention.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals Jennison versus Bloomington echoed that intent.
When state law occupies the fields that he simply cannot intervene. Now,
(04:04):
HEDNA stands at the same crossroads, warned by settled the
precedent and guided by clear language, the only obligation to comply.
Only the Minnesota legislature may regulate this domain, and courts
will defend that boundary without hesitation. It's not about optics,
but the rule of law, obedience to statute. Nothing would
(04:25):
better Servey Dinah than ending this unlawful pursuit today. Listen,
Rob Dorr is right when he talks about the optics.
That's all what's going on here. It's all about the optics,
including Governor Tim Walls and his continued town halls now dragging.
State Senator Judy se Berger on board, a Democrat and
(04:45):
a gun owner, working off the story from Fox nine,
says she doesn't know if any Republicans would vote for
an assault weapons ban. I love this quote, by the way,
in my opinion, says Seeburger. Everything's on the table, and
anything that comes too that has the support and will
save lives, I will be a yes on. So anything
(05:08):
that comes to her has support and will save lives,
she will be a yes on. It doesn't even make sense.
It doesn't have to make sense though Walls doesn't have
to make sense. These town halls don't have to make sense.
(05:28):
They only make sense when you look at it through
the lens of it's not about saving lives, like she says.
And so let's just take this, let me break this
down just briefly. So if the legislature moves forward right
with a full gun band in Minnesota, right, so she'll
be in support of that all of a sudden, even
(05:50):
though she says that she's a gun owner. I'm just
wondering anything that comes to me that has support and
will save lives. I mean, like you left yourself so
many out there, you'd have to be just blindly following
along to not understand that it is again just this
is just a word salad with no substance, and the
(06:11):
same thing rings sure when it comes to these town halls.
Governor Tim Walls knows that having a special session would
be a disaster. It wouldn't yield what he needs in
terms of running for a reelection, it wouldn't benefit Democrats
heading into next year. And I'm sure that we'll approach
this when we get into the regular session, but who
knows what will happen between now and heading into the
(06:32):
beginning of next year. Here's more of the story that
I was just sharing with you from Fox nine regarding
the latest town hall with Governor Tim.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Walls following the assassinations of Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark,
and the deadly mass shootings and annunciation Catholic Church. She
would support full bands on assault style weapons and high
capacity magazines pushed by Governor Walls.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
In my opinion, everything's on the table. Anything that comes
to me that has the support and will save lives,
I will be a yes son.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Sieberger says voters have told her they want more legislation
around preventing gun violence, but they may not feel comfortable
airing their views in her split district. She says it's
up to lawmakers to find solutions, like more funding for
mental health services that both sides can agree on.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Everybody is frustrated. Most people are scared, and I think
we all deserve to feel safe in our community, and
I'm trying to do something about that.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Now.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
We did reach out to get a Republican perspective for
our story, but we didn't hear back. However, House Republicans
did release a plan that includes more money for school security,
school resource officers, and mental health treatment bets.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, that's the story from Fox nine. If people are scared,
that's on them, That's on Democrats that continue to fear
monger over this issue. They're not looking to solve anything.
They know they're not going to solve anything. There is
no law that you can pass that's guaranteed it's going
to go and save lives. Those are hollow statements, borderline propaganda,
(08:09):
probably propaganda to many of you. I didn't even realize
that Walls was even having this next town hall. That's
how little attention that they're getting right now we hear
about it after the fact. I'm glad that Walls continues
to perpetuate this idea that his hands are tied, because
I don't think the majority of individuals, even on the
(08:31):
left or even buying it. They may not care, don't misunderstand.
They may be on board with it, but they also
right don't care that Walls is just using this to
push an agenda. But I think most people are realizing
that's what's going on right now. It's really not all
that unlike what's taking place with this shutdown. You know, Walls,
(08:55):
dflers attempting to go and shape this argument in this
narrative as if it's Republicans that won't go and vote
on this, preventing him from doing the special session, when
we all know that that's not true, even those on
the left. No, it's not true. And it's the same
thing that happened with the government shutdown that may be
coming to an end, as Democrats tried to frame this
(09:17):
as being the Republican shutdown and it just never ever
stuck coming up. Target has issued a new directive to
its workers that I'm assuming most people saw this and
had the same reaction that I did over this new
Target directive, and that reaction would be you weren't doing
this already. I'll share with you the details of this
(09:40):
coming up, and we will talk with Representative in Wisconsin
gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany traveling here too. Minnieapples for an
event relating to his Wisconsin run for governor, will get
his thoughts on the shutdown coming to an end an
update on his race as well. He'll be joining us
at a thirty here on twin his news talk AM
eleven thirty and one three five FM.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow veterans. Thanks for
keeping America and Americans safe, because that's what you did.
Good morning, guys. I just want to have a shout
out to Jerry. Spent the weekend deer hunting with him.
He's a Vietnam vet. Happy Veterans Day, Jerry. Thank you
for serving our country. God bless.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
I'd like to give a shout out to the two
moss I love the most, and that's the medics and
the cooks. They're kind of the young sung heroes, but
being eleven, Bravo one Papa, they have a very special
place in our hearts.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Good morning, John Rick and Virginia.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
As you know, I've called several times and been critical
of Phil, your friend Phil.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
I think his idea is there out there.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They don't make any sense.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
He doesn't make any sense to me, ever, But I
see we recall that Phil is a veteran.
Speaker 13 (11:06):
So Phil, this is for you. I do thank you
for your service.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
As a fellow veteran.
Speaker 12 (11:09):
I can appreciate the training you went through, and no
matter where you served or.
Speaker 14 (11:12):
What you did, I do appreciate your service to our country.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
You helped keep us safe and all of us, including me.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Thank you for it, and I do too, despite the
ridiculous things that you say on the talkbacks Twin Cities
News Talk from the six' five to one, Carpet Next
Day Install Studios. Clad you're with the show this. Morning
Congressman Tom tiffany joining us in just a few minutes
here On Twin Cities News. Talk, now this came in
(11:41):
based off of my teas of a New target. DIRECTIVE
i did not say what The target directive.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Was there is nothing new about The target policies that they're.
Speaker 12 (11:50):
SAYING i worked For.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Targets for ten years and they had that policy ten years.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Ago nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
New, well, okay, WELL i GUESS i don't need to
do the.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Story then.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You got anything in there to talk, About, sam because
this is WHAT i was going to talk. About but you,
know according to according To, eric there's no.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
There's no there's no. News there's no news. Here so
why now you both have me? Curious what's this directive you're?
Referencing so From fox?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Nine, Okay target isitioned a new directive according To fox,
nine contrary to What eric, says mandating that workers smile
at customers as part of a plan to boost sales
heading into the. HOLIDAY i actually hope That eric's. RIGHT
(12:38):
i hope this is not a NEW i mean, this
this is not a new. Directive that being, Said, look you,
KNOW i, Know sam, knows you, know the quality when
it comes to your shopping, experience you, know has diminished
greatly over over the. Years customer service is just pretty
much non. Existent like IF i were running a, business
(13:02):
that would be the number one thing THAT i would
be focusing. ON i was having A melinna AND i
were having a lengthy conversation just About disneyland, specifically just
because we, both you, know love the parks and you,
KNOW i was born and raised in Southern california AND
i would go there a couple times a week during
the during the. Nineties and the quality relating to the
(13:25):
cast members and the customer service they, deliver it's just
it's diminished, unfortunately you. Know and so this doesn't surprise
me if it is indeed. New the newly, initiative they,
say is called the ten four. Program according To, Bloomberg
under the, program workers are required to, smile make eye,
contact or wave and wave or greet a shopper who
(13:46):
comes within ten feet of them within ten Feet Wow
i'm trying to think of. That we have like a
we have like a reverse of the social, distancing like
a new like a new. VERSION i haven't quite worked it.
Out it just came to. Me you AND i are
about ten feet.
Speaker 15 (14:02):
Apart SHOULD i be waving at you every time you
look at?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Me just because it sounds? Fun? Yep Hi? John if
they are, Closer oh there's. More if they are closer
within four, feet the worker is required to ask them
if they need help or how their day is. Going,
(14:29):
OH i want to test.
Speaker 15 (14:30):
This i'm not coming within four feet eet so to.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This so is there going to be training on like
how far you know four feet actually? Is for, example
a moment ago you said we're about ten feet apart
from each. OTHER i think we're more like. Twenty, yeah you,
KNOW i mean there's a wall and two panes of
glass between. Us but.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
SUCKED i, think you, know maybe if you bist put the,
difference maybe. FIFTEEN i wonder if most people even realize
how far you know four feet? Is that makes that
makes me. Laugh though we have the, technology this is.
Real this is a real simple fix they. Need you
need to just wear a. Device you have a little,
headphone little headphone in, right bluetooth just blue tooth headphone
(15:16):
with the device and therefore it beeps depending on a,
cloaks you are to a customer to keep the employees in.
Compliance why DID i hold up on the story until?
Now but, again according To, eric this is. Nothing this
is nothing new at. All so The bloomberg article where
it's stemmed from draws parallels to a long standing rule
(15:37):
For walmart workers which carries the same ten foot smiling.
Requirement oh that certainly has not been implemented or policy
does not. FOLLOW i couldn't tell you the last time
A walmart employee ever smiled at. Me as a matter of,
FACT i couldn't tell you when we go To walmart a.
LOT i could not tell you any time easy in
(16:00):
the past nine years WHEN i ever had A walmart
employee come up to me and engage me in any,
way shape or. Form it is always me having to
go and seek them. Out and it happens a lot
BECAUSE i need to go and get refills on my,
printer Inc SO i have to go into the electronics,
section and THEN i gotta go and track somebody, down
(16:22):
and that person doesn't have a key and they got
to track somebody down and they're never happy. There there's
never any which always blows my. Mind it's, like you're,
there you are on the, Clock you're there to. Work
what else better do you have to?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Do?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Right this is what you're here. FOR i.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
Guess target needs to hire the old Mister burks a fantasy.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Island as he used to say at the start of the.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Chips if you.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Got to, smiles instantly age yourself with, that with a,
reference AND i give you that talk back BECAUSE i
know exactly what you're talking about as.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
Well, Hey, JOHN i work inside of A, target AND
i have been noticing that the employees have been much
more friendly over the last six months or, so AND
i was wondering that myself if there was a new policy.
Speaker 17 (17:15):
CHANGE i think the most practical thing is to issue
everyone a pre calibrated hulah who's with a radius and four.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Feet i'm not sure how practical that would.
Speaker 18 (17:30):
Be what are the repercussions From target if the employee
does not greet you with A.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh, sorry just got cut. Off i'm.
Speaker 18 (17:37):
Sorry what are the repercussions From target if the employee
does not greet you with a, hello and asking how
your day.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Is apparently there's in THE i think it's in the automotive.
Section there's going to be a. GUILLOTINE i don't think
that's true at. All all, right Talk back of The
day on The, way hotline, stringing which means our next
guess this is going to be joining us here in
just a Moment representative In wisconsin gubernatorial Candidate Tom, tiffany
(18:06):
and again more of your comments from The iHeartRadio App
talkbacks brought to you By Lyndall. Realty next On Twin
City's News, talk we had a lot of comments that
rolled in on the new target directive AS i waive,
It sam and The Master control booth next door here
(18:28):

state Currently congressman And wisconsin gubernatorial candidate To tom And.
Tiffany good, Morning, tom thank you so much for joining
the show this, morning and where are you? Currently?
Speaker 13 (18:52):
Well John yesterday Represents, stauburn AND i did the commemoration
of The Edmund fitzgerald fifty year. Anniversary and you, know
both of our districts were affected greatly by that superior
and to lose the twin. Ports and so we did
a commemoration yesterday AND i made my way DOWN i thirty,
five headed for headed for the airport to go To, WASHINGTON.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Dc so let's talk a little bit about. That now
heading back to D, c we have The senate moving
forward finally to end the. Shutdown it's now going to
go back to The. House how Keem jeffries though the
signal that Perhaps democrats won't be on board with this
when it gets back into The. House what's your expectation
on how much longer all of this is going to?
(19:36):
Last and we can put this a shutdown in the
rear view. Mirror Congressman Tom, Tiffany.
Speaker 13 (19:42):
WELL i Suspect jefferies is going to have to put
up a bold front for the base that is outraged
by what they have seen, here the leftist base that,
is AND i mean it's all performative. Art they put
party before. People the ends justify the. Means they want
to ensure victory In New jersey And virginia last, week
(20:04):
and you, know to a certain, extent it's mission accomplished by.
Them but now they've got everybody ginned up to such
an extent on there in their base at, boy we
cannot uh make any changes To obamacare though it's failing
the country and failing to provide affordable healthcare for The american.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
People let's move over to your to your. Race you're
run for governor In. Wisconsin how has the race been.
Going what have you been hearing from the constituents as?
Well And i'm always interested in that because you, know
a lot of, times you, know doing the, SHOW i
cover what gets talked about within the, media but, sometimes,
(20:46):
uh there's a different view coming from those individuals who you,
know don't call into the. Show And i'm curious to
your perspective of where the concerns rest for the people In. Wisconsin.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
Yeah so six weeks in and it's going very. Well
we've got broad support across the state and we're taking the,
message which is the buzzword these, days affordability to the
people of the state Of. Wisconsin let's lower increase property.
Taxes we're in the bottom ten for business, startups entrepreneurial
(21:18):
activity in The United. States let's change. That let's make
sure that we're if we're gonna put more money into,
education let's make sure it is done in a way
that it, benefits paying good teachers more money and following
the students and their. Families we have among the highest
utility rates now in The. Midwest we used to be
(21:39):
among the. Lowest and so there's a whole bunch of
stuff that people are focused. On BUT i do think
it is that affordability. Question but the other thing, is you,
know the people that live within the shadow of The
Twin cities over In Saint croix done you, Know, pop excuse,
Me Pierce, counties you, know they see what's happening In.
(22:02):
Minnesota AND i emphasize we do not want to end
up Like minnesota and what has happened over in this
great state where people are, fleeing and people are going
to make a choice, Here john in twenty twenty, six
do you want to be among The wolkenbrooke Like minnesota And,
illinois or do you want to be one of the
prosperous states Of. America that's a choice that's going to
(22:23):
be made states are diverging at this. Point they're either
choosing to be a blue, state which they're headed down
the tubes, basically or those states that really want to
be Prosperous, Florida, Texas, Tennessee. Ohio which state are we
going to be In? Wisconsin that's the, question and that's
the message That i'm delivering to, people and that's What
i'm hearing about. People we can do better In. Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah you, Know i've been, questioning talking With Tom, tiffany
And i've been questioning how much the issues when we
get into next, year how much they're even going to.
MATTER i, mean of course they matter to individuals like.
Yourself they, matter they matter to. Me but the way
in which The democrats are conducting their, campaigns their, commentary you,
(23:08):
know it's less and less about the, issues and it's
more and more just simply focused on vilifying and Demonizing
republicans every single step of the, way in which case
it just ends up becoming a who can get the
vote out? More you, know you, know from either, Side
i'm curious your perspective on, that because it doesn't seem
like The democrats really well they talk about the. ISSUES
(23:30):
i think you AND i both know that they spend
the majority of time just trying to tear Down. Republicans
that seems to be their only platform right.
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Now, yeah they'll Make Donald trump the number one issue
in the. Campaign it'll be all personality, driven not policy.
Driven but they're going to have a harder time vilifying.
ME i grew up on a dairy farm just over
the border in Western wisconsin with my seven brothers and.
SISTERS i, mean we've figured out what hard work was
early in, life common, sense how to make ends. Meet
(23:58):
And i've been a lifelong withisconsinight that has raised a family.
HERE i, mean we've been able to live The american.
Dream and that's the Message i'm going to take to
the people the state Of, wisconsin AND i think we
can get that message to.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
People.
Speaker 13 (24:11):
Now our, Challenge john is going to be those people
who don't always come out and vote every. Election we
have to motivate, them and we have to do that
with bold, colors clear. Contracts you have to have that
clear contrast with the other. Side the other, side are
they talking about policy as you're alluding? To of course,
(24:31):
not it is all personality. Driven we need to talk
about policy and talk about how men and girls', sports
sanctuary cities in the state Of. Wisconsin we're going to
have safe. Streets we're going to emphasize those issues that
are pre eminent for the people the state Of. Wisconsin
lower property taxes and then freeze. Them we're going to
(24:52):
do things that are going to benefit everyone in the
state Of.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Wisconsin last thing BEFORE i let you go this morning
again talking With Representative live In wisconsin gubernatorial Candidate Tom,
tiffany the issue of. Immigration you, know it's not talked
about as much apart from the situations relating to immigrations
and customs. Enforcement you, know you don't See democrats talking
(25:15):
about the dramatic reduction in individuals coming into the, country
especially and more specifically comparatively speaking to the years That
Joe biden And Kamala harris we were in. Office i'm
curious your perspective right. NOW i, mean the majority of
the conversations we've had over the past few years have
been regarding immigration in the run up to last year's.
(25:37):
Election where is your head at right now relating to
that particular. Issue apart from the controversies That democrats bring
up relating to what immigrations And Customs enforcement is currently
doing in deporting criminals that are here in the country. Illegally.
Speaker 13 (25:54):
YEAH i think it's come down from one either number
one or number two in terms of, issues because you
have a president that's resolved the. Issue the border is now,
secure he showed how it could be. Done but we're
still seeing the residual, effects including In wisconsin where we
have people that are here illegally committing, crimes oftentimes repeated.
(26:15):
Crimes and then you have those same, people the Leftist,
democrats who will defend them to keep them in this
country though they're repeat. Offenders so the issue still is out,
there but it's not as prominent as it once was
because it's been. Solved and it's much like the price of.
Eggs remember that was the first thing they attacked the.
President i'm back On january, twentieth price of eggs go.
(26:37):
Down never.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Mind Congresvan Tom tiffany again running for governor In. Wisconsin
thank you for the time this. Morning safe travels to,
you AND i look forward to the next time you
AND i have the opportunity to.
Speaker 13 (26:49):

crowd control. Measures before agents moved to The Sam's club parking,
lot a federal vehicle was. Rammed three people were arrested
on assault. Charges as a convoy tried to, leave another
(28:17):
vehicle rammed into, it shattered windows and forcing agents to
pursue the, driver who. Escaped in, total atus citizens and
an illegal alien were. ARRESTED i was watching a video
that went viral overnight and it wasn't anything THAT i
could play on the, Air but there was a WOMAN
i believe In, Portland. Oregon she was BLOCKING ice enforcement
officers and then she took off WHEN. Ice after visually
(28:41):
and hand mocking THE ice, agents she then took off
down the road and tried to, escape and WHEN ice
agents went and pulled her, over she ended up, crying, Mom,
mom leave me. Alone in the law enforcement officer ended
up actually letting her. Go it was pretty pretty. Pathetic
speaking of, Pathetic Chicago Mayor Brandon johnson has reached out
(29:03):
to a very unlikely source again in the wake of
this illegal ali interested border agents attacked In, chicago and
you have The Chicago, Mayor Brandon, johnson asking a rather
unique entity to help intervene and STOP. Ice here is
the story From Fox.
Speaker 9 (29:24):

it's time to get to your talk back of the.
Day your doc talk back of the day is brought
to you By Mini. Leaf head on over to M
I N N e l eaf dot com and check
(30:49):
out all of Mini leaf's fantastic. PRODUCTS i was sharing
with you a story From fox. Nine target issued a
new directive mandating that workers smile at customers as part
of a plan to boost sales headed into the. Holidays
here is your talk back of the.
Speaker 12 (31:04):
Day good, morning happy veterans today from another army that's
sixty eight. Whiskey BUT i also spent fifteen years in retail,
management and there's definitely some common practices that.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Are just not happening.
Speaker 12 (31:17):
Today you can go into these big box stores and
employees don't even acknowledge. You in, fact you come off
as a burden to, them and they can be pushing
off supply cart and they will push right in front
of you as you're walking and not give you the right.
Away simple things like giving customers the right away and Saying, hi.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, now you're absolutely. Right this wasn't a. CUSTOMER i
had a woman that cut me off last TIME i
was At, walmart and she, said excuse me as if
it was my. Fault that is your talk back of the.
Day it's brought to you By minileaf minileaf dot com fantastic.
Products they want you to live a better life through their,
products AND i certainly am with their, Nightgummies so head
(31:56):
on over to M I N N e l eaf dot.
Com the ten to four program requires their employees to
smile and make eye contact and wave or greet a
shopper who comes within ten feet of. Them if they
are closer within four, feet the worker is required to
ask them if they need help or how their day is. Going,
(32:19):
okay assuming this story here From fox and the details are,
correct what a sad commentary that they had to get
to this level of specificity in order to train their
employees in customer service like that should be a. Given
BUT i can only imagine the gen zers when they're being, told,
(32:43):
hey you know you need to go and you, know
wave at a customer or smile at them and ask
them if they need. Help, well how far away do
they need to? Be how close do they have to
be BEFORE i BEFORE i do what it is that
you tell ME i need to? Do where an average
individual of average intelligence should be able to figure out
(33:05):
the appropriate. Level, no they have to get to ten
feet eye contact wave four, feet ask if they need.
Help good Morning.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
John my name Is. Mike i'm From Saint. Paul. Mike
i've worked For minards for twenty, years and that is
their number one policies to greet every guest and say.
Hi unfortunately not one hundred, percent but, yeah it's a
long standing.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Policy i've heard you can say big money At minards.
Speaker 15 (33:37):
Eleven percent.
Speaker 11 (33:37):
Off having worked in retail for many, YEARS i can
tell you unequivocally that most retail workers do not want
to do this and won't do. This and also as a,
CUSTOMER i don't want to be bothered every ten seconds
(33:59):
by someone asked me WHETHER i need any. Help IF
i need, Help i'll, Ask.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Well you've been given the. Guidelines just stay ten feet
away from the employees and you'll be. Fine you're not
going to be.
Speaker 15 (34:08):
BOTHERED i was just going to, say IF i was an,
employee DO i just keep myself ten feet away from the.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Customers i'm, sorry, BOSS i was fifteen. FEET i measured.
It i'm.
Speaker 15 (34:19):
FINE i Saw john walking towards. ME i just kept
walking away from, moments SO i wasn't within four.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Feet, unequivocally most retailers would not want to do. This
why would most retailers not want TO i, mean the
story in and of itself would push back on that particular, Comment,
JOHN i actually have to push back a little bit
on your comment About walmart.
Speaker 18 (34:40):
Employees several times at The walmart In Apple, VALLEY.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
I have been asked by employees are you finding everything?
Speaker 12 (34:50):
Today i've actually had people walk up and just start
a conversation about how busy it is.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Whatever so maybe you got to Try Apple Valley.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Walmart, well that would be that wouldn't be very cost
effective for me to drive all the way From blaine
down To Apple. Valley you're not really pushing. Back you
just had a better experience THAN i do over In.
Blaine not a comforting. Site WHEN i visit My Blaine,
walmart and every TIME i go through the parking lot
there is A blaine patrol officer that's going through the parking.
Lot that's. Never that's. Never that's not reassuring at.
Speaker 17 (35:22):
All, Yeah, john AND i had an old video of
me and my friends going into a Wal, mart and
this was back in the. NINETIES i showed my son

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Show
Pony, John Gonzo.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I served him seventy four to seventy eight, and on
this Veterans Day, I thank God for Trump and for
our men and women that are still willing to go
into the service. And there's a huge uptick in patriotism,
which I really really love. You joined the military, and
you join a brotherhood that you really can't describe. You
(00:32):
have friends for life, stories for life, a lot of laughs,
a lot of hard work.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But God, it so Godzo ran at a time. I'm
gonna afford him the opportunity to finish his comment.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sorry, John Gonzo, just to finish it off. God, it
was a great experience. And uh, nobody ever told me
my oath was descended when I left the military and
it will never die until I pass away.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Have a good day, Have Vettan's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
To all the.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Brothers and sisters that are in the military.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I am so glad to see so many vets that
are running for office in the state. That is the
only way you're going to turn this state around. Instead
of electing socialist democrats that can't even run their own
life and family, let alone a state or a country.
We do need proven people that have defended this country
and know what the country's all about, rather than turning
it over to a third world country.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Thank you for the top backs from the iHeartRadio app
brought to you by Lyndahl Realty here on Twin Cities
News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five
FM from the sixty five to one Carpet Next Day
install studios. Speaking of radical socialists, the city of Dynah
the latest to provide symbolic assistance to Governor Tim Walls
(01:48):
and his anti firearm agenda as they seek to join
the Twin Cities in passing a meaningless and potentially law
breaking ordinance. So again, while Democrats constantly accused Trump of
being an authoritarian king, these democrat run cities willfully ignore
the rule of law for the sake of peddling the
(02:10):
leftist agenda. So Rob dor at the Minnesota Gun Owner's
Caucus posted this yesterday responding to a Dyna letter to
the Dynasity Council on their proposed firearm ordinance. Clouncil, my
word the loss clear, and so's the message. A. Dinah's
(02:30):
proposed firearm ordinance raises serious legal concerns, as any such
measure violates Minnesota's preemption statute. Any ordinance in conflict with
that statute is void, even if the city attempts at
gimmicks such as a deferred enforcement scheme. Your city's residents
deserve confidence that their leaders act within lawful bounds.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You know, not like kings.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I just want to.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Every lawless act of defiance to state law only weakens
public confidence in sound civic governance. You can avoid that
mistake by respecting preemption's statewide safeguard. Needlessly provoking litigation serves
no one, a, drains taxpayer resources, diverts energy from legitimate
(03:19):
civic priorities. History has proven that point, as every court
that entered excuse me that encountered similar local preemption violations
has reached the same conclusion. When duly elected state law
occupies the field of policy, municipal governments must yield. Any
cities that defined preemption have met the same fate in court,
(03:44):
those cities may test their reach. The judiciary has spoken
with clarity, preemption simply leaves no tolerance for local intervention.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals Jennison versus Bloomington echoed that intent.
When state law occupies the fields that he simply cannot intervene. Now,
(04:04):
HEDNA stands at the same crossroads, warned by settled the
precedent and guided by clear language, the only obligation to comply.
Only the Minnesota legislature may regulate this domain, and courts
will defend that boundary without hesitation. It's not about optics,
but the rule of law, obedience to statute. Nothing would
(04:25):
better Servey Dinah than ending this unlawful pursuit today. Listen,
Rob Dorr is right when he talks about the optics.
That's all what's going on here. It's all about the optics,
including Governor Tim Walls and his continued town halls now dragging.
State Senator Judy se Berger on board, a Democrat and
(04:45):
a gun owner, working off the story from Fox nine,
says she doesn't know if any Republicans would vote for
an assault weapons ban. I love this quote, by the way,
in my opinion, says Seeburger. Everything's on the table, and
anything that comes too that has the support and will
save lives, I will be a yes on. So anything
(05:08):
that comes to her has support and will save lives,
she will be a yes on. It doesn't even make sense.
It doesn't have to make sense though Walls doesn't have
to make sense. These town halls don't have to make sense.
(05:28):
They only make sense when you look at it through
the lens of it's not about saving lives, like she says.
And so let's just take this, let me break this
down just briefly. So if the legislature moves forward right
with a full gun band in Minnesota, right, so she'll
be in support of that all of a sudden, even
(05:50):
though she says that she's a gun owner. I'm just
wondering anything that comes to me that has support and
will save lives. I mean, like you left yourself so
many out there, you'd have to be just blindly following
along to not understand that it is again just this
is just a word salad with no substance, and the
(06:11):
same thing rings sure when it comes to these town halls.
Governor Tim Walls knows that having a special session would
be a disaster. It wouldn't yield what he needs in
terms of running for a reelection, it wouldn't benefit Democrats
heading into next year. And I'm sure that we'll approach
this when we get into the regular session, but who
knows what will happen between now and heading into the
(06:32):
beginning of next year. Here's more of the story that
I was just sharing with you from Fox nine regarding
the latest town hall with Governor Tim.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Walls following the assassinations of Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark,
and the deadly mass shootings and annunciation Catholic Church. She
would support full bands on assault style weapons and high
capacity magazines pushed by Governor Walls.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
In my opinion, everything's on the table. Anything that comes
to me that has the support and will save lives,
I will be a yes son.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Sieberger says voters have told her they want more legislation
around preventing gun violence, but they may not feel comfortable
airing their views in her split district. She says it's
up to lawmakers to find solutions, like more funding for
mental health services that both sides can agree on.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Everybody is frustrated. Most people are scared, and I think
we all deserve to feel safe in our community, and
I'm trying to do something about that.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Now.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
We did reach out to get a Republican perspective for
our story, but we didn't hear back. However, House Republicans
did release a plan that includes more money for school security,
school resource officers, and mental health treatment bets.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, that's the story from Fox nine. If people are scared,
that's on them, That's on Democrats that continue to fear
monger over this issue. They're not looking to solve anything.
They know they're not going to solve anything. There is
no law that you can pass that's guaranteed it's going
to go and save lives. Those are hollow statements, borderline propaganda,
(08:09):
probably propaganda to many of you. I didn't even realize
that Walls was even having this next town hall. That's
how little attention that they're getting right now we hear
about it after the fact. I'm glad that Walls continues
to perpetuate this idea that his hands are tied, because
I don't think the majority of individuals, even on the
(08:31):
left or even buying it. They may not care, don't misunderstand.
They may be on board with it, but they also
right don't care that Walls is just using this to
push an agenda. But I think most people are realizing
that's what's going on right now. It's really not all
that unlike what's taking place with this shutdown. You know, Walls,
(08:55):
dflers attempting to go and shape this argument in this
narrative as if it's Republicans that won't go and vote
on this, preventing him from doing the special session, when
we all know that that's not true, even those on
the left. No, it's not true. And it's the same
thing that happened with the government shutdown that may be
coming to an end, as Democrats tried to frame this
(09:17):
as being the Republican shutdown and it just never ever
stuck coming up. Target has issued a new directive to
its workers that I'm assuming most people saw this and
had the same reaction that I did over this new
Target directive, and that reaction would be you weren't doing
this already. I'll share with you the details of this
(09:40):
coming up, and we will talk with Representative in Wisconsin
gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany traveling here too. Minnieapples for an
event relating to his Wisconsin run for governor, will get
his thoughts on the shutdown coming to an end an
update on his race as well. He'll be joining us
at a thirty here on twin his news talk AM
eleven thirty and one three five FM.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow veterans. Thanks for
keeping America and Americans safe, because that's what you did.
Good morning, guys. I just want to have a shout
out to Jerry. Spent the weekend deer hunting with him.
He's a Vietnam vet. Happy Veterans Day, Jerry. Thank you
for serving our country. God bless.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
I'd like to give a shout out to the two
moss I love the most, and that's the medics and
the cooks. They're kind of the young sung heroes, but
being eleven, Bravo one Papa, they have a very special
place in our hearts.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Good morning, John Rick and Virginia.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
As you know, I've called several times and been critical
of Phil, your friend Phil.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
I think his idea is there out there.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They don't make any sense.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
He doesn't make any sense to me, ever, But I
see we recall that Phil is a veteran.
Speaker 13 (11:06):
So Phil, this is for you. I do thank you
for your service.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
As a fellow veteran.
Speaker 12 (11:09):
I can appreciate the training you went through, and no
matter where you served or.
Speaker 14 (11:12):
What you did, I do appreciate your service to our country.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
You helped keep us safe and all of us, including me.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Thank you for it, and I do too, despite the
ridiculous things that you say on the talkbacks Twin Cities
News Talk from the six' five to one, Carpet Next
Day Install Studios. Clad you're with the show this. Morning
Congressman Tom tiffany joining us in just a few minutes
here On Twin Cities News. Talk, now this came in
(11:41):
based off of my teas of a New target. DIRECTIVE
i did not say what The target directive.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Was there is nothing new about The target policies that they're.
Speaker 12 (11:50):
SAYING i worked For.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Targets for ten years and they had that policy ten years.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Ago nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
New, well, okay, WELL i GUESS i don't need to
do the.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Story then.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You got anything in there to talk, About, sam because
this is WHAT i was going to talk. About but you,
know according to according To, eric there's no.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
There's no there's no. News there's no news. Here so
why now you both have me? Curious what's this directive you're?
Referencing so From fox?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Nine, Okay target isitioned a new directive according To fox,
nine contrary to What eric, says mandating that workers smile
at customers as part of a plan to boost sales
heading into the. HOLIDAY i actually hope That eric's. RIGHT
(12:38):
i hope this is not a NEW i mean, this
this is not a new. Directive that being, Said, look you,
KNOW i, Know sam, knows you, know the quality when
it comes to your shopping, experience you, know has diminished
greatly over over the. Years customer service is just pretty
much non. Existent like IF i were running a, business
(13:02):
that would be the number one thing THAT i would
be focusing. ON i was having A melinna AND i
were having a lengthy conversation just About disneyland, specifically just
because we, both you, know love the parks and you,
KNOW i was born and raised in Southern california AND
i would go there a couple times a week during
the during the. Nineties and the quality relating to the
(13:25):
cast members and the customer service they, deliver it's just
it's diminished, unfortunately you. Know and so this doesn't surprise
me if it is indeed. New the newly, initiative they,
say is called the ten four. Program according To, Bloomberg
under the, program workers are required to, smile make eye,
contact or wave and wave or greet a shopper who
(13:46):
comes within ten feet of them within ten Feet Wow
i'm trying to think of. That we have like a
we have like a reverse of the social, distancing like
a new like a new. VERSION i haven't quite worked it.
Out it just came to. Me you AND i are
about ten feet.
Speaker 15 (14:02):
Apart SHOULD i be waving at you every time you
look at?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Me just because it sounds? Fun? Yep Hi? John if
they are, Closer oh there's. More if they are closer
within four, feet the worker is required to ask them
if they need help or how their day is. Going,
(14:29):
OH i want to test.
Speaker 15 (14:30):
This i'm not coming within four feet eet so to.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This so is there going to be training on like
how far you know four feet actually? Is for, example
a moment ago you said we're about ten feet apart
from each. OTHER i think we're more like. Twenty, yeah you,
KNOW i mean there's a wall and two panes of
glass between. Us but.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
SUCKED i, think you, know maybe if you bist put the,
difference maybe. FIFTEEN i wonder if most people even realize
how far you know four feet? Is that makes that
makes me. Laugh though we have the, technology this is.
Real this is a real simple fix they. Need you
need to just wear a. Device you have a little,
headphone little headphone in, right bluetooth just blue tooth headphone
(15:16):
with the device and therefore it beeps depending on a,
cloaks you are to a customer to keep the employees in.
Compliance why DID i hold up on the story until?
Now but, again according To, eric this is. Nothing this
is nothing new at. All so The bloomberg article where
it's stemmed from draws parallels to a long standing rule
(15:37):
For walmart workers which carries the same ten foot smiling.
Requirement oh that certainly has not been implemented or policy
does not. FOLLOW i couldn't tell you the last time
A walmart employee ever smiled at. Me as a matter of,
FACT i couldn't tell you when we go To walmart a.
LOT i could not tell you any time easy in
(16:00):
the past nine years WHEN i ever had A walmart
employee come up to me and engage me in any,
way shape or. Form it is always me having to
go and seek them. Out and it happens a lot
BECAUSE i need to go and get refills on my,
printer Inc SO i have to go into the electronics,
section and THEN i gotta go and track somebody, down
(16:22):
and that person doesn't have a key and they got
to track somebody down and they're never happy. There there's
never any which always blows my. Mind it's, like you're,
there you are on the, Clock you're there to. Work
what else better do you have to?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Do?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Right this is what you're here. FOR i.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
Guess target needs to hire the old Mister burks a fantasy.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Island as he used to say at the start of the.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Chips if you.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Got to, smiles instantly age yourself with, that with a,
reference AND i give you that talk back BECAUSE i
know exactly what you're talking about as.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
Well, Hey, JOHN i work inside of A, target AND
i have been noticing that the employees have been much
more friendly over the last six months or, so AND
i was wondering that myself if there was a new policy.
Speaker 17 (17:15):
CHANGE i think the most practical thing is to issue
everyone a pre calibrated hulah who's with a radius and four.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Feet i'm not sure how practical that would.
Speaker 18 (17:30):
Be what are the repercussions From target if the employee
does not greet you with A.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh, sorry just got cut. Off i'm.
Speaker 18 (17:37):
Sorry what are the repercussions From target if the employee
does not greet you with a, hello and asking how
your day.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Is apparently there's in THE i think it's in the automotive.
Section there's going to be a. GUILLOTINE i don't think
that's true at. All all, right Talk back of The

Last and we can put this a shutdown in the
rear view. Mirror Congressman Tom, Tiffany.
Speaker 13 (19:42):
WELL i Suspect jefferies is going to have to put
up a bold front for the base that is outraged
by what they have seen, here the leftist base that,
is AND i mean it's all performative. Art they put
party before. People the ends justify the. Means they want
to ensure victory In New jersey And virginia last, week
(20:04):
and you, know to a certain, extent it's mission accomplished by.
Them but now they've got everybody ginned up to such
an extent on there in their base at, boy we
cannot uh make any changes To obamacare though it's failing
the country and failing to provide affordable healthcare for The american.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
People let's move over to your to your. Race you're
run for governor In. Wisconsin how has the race been.
Going what have you been hearing from the constituents as?
Well And i'm always interested in that because you, know
a lot of, times you, know doing the, SHOW i
cover what gets talked about within the, media but, sometimes,
(20:46):
uh there's a different view coming from those individuals who you,
know don't call into the. Show And i'm curious to
your perspective of where the concerns rest for the people In. Wisconsin.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
Yeah so six weeks in and it's going very. Well
we've got broad support across the state and we're taking the,
message which is the buzzword these, days affordability to the
people of the state Of. Wisconsin let's lower increase property.
Taxes we're in the bottom ten for business, startups entrepreneurial
(21:18):
activity in The United. States let's change. That let's make
sure that we're if we're gonna put more money into,
education let's make sure it is done in a way
that it, benefits paying good teachers more money and following
the students and their. Families we have among the highest
utility rates now in The. Midwest we used to be
(21:39):
among the. Lowest and so there's a whole bunch of
stuff that people are focused. On BUT i do think
it is that affordability. Question but the other thing, is you,
know the people that live within the shadow of The
Twin cities over In Saint croix done you, Know, pop excuse,
Me Pierce, counties you, know they see what's happening In.
(22:02):
Minnesota AND i emphasize we do not want to end
up Like minnesota and what has happened over in this
great state where people are, fleeing and people are going
to make a choice, Here john in twenty twenty, six
do you want to be among The wolkenbrooke Like minnesota And,
illinois or do you want to be one of the
prosperous states Of. America that's a choice that's going to
(22:23):
be made states are diverging at this. Point they're either
choosing to be a blue, state which they're headed down
the tubes, basically or those states that really want to
be Prosperous, Florida, Texas, Tennessee. Ohio which state are we
going to be In? Wisconsin that's the, question and that's
the message That i'm delivering to, people and that's What
i'm hearing about. People we can do better In. Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah you, Know i've been, questioning talking With Tom, tiffany
And i've been questioning how much the issues when we
get into next, year how much they're even going to.
MATTER i, mean of course they matter to individuals like.
Yourself they, matter they matter to. Me but the way
in which The democrats are conducting their, campaigns their, commentary you,
(23:08):
know it's less and less about the, issues and it's
more and more just simply focused on vilifying and Demonizing
republicans every single step of the, way in which case
it just ends up becoming a who can get the
vote out? More you, know you, know from either, Side
i'm curious your perspective on, that because it doesn't seem
like The democrats really well they talk about the. ISSUES
(23:30):
i think you AND i both know that they spend
the majority of time just trying to tear Down. Republicans
that seems to be their only platform right.
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Now, yeah they'll Make Donald trump the number one issue
in the. Campaign it'll be all personality, driven not policy.
Driven but they're going to have a harder time vilifying.
ME i grew up on a dairy farm just over
the border in Western wisconsin with my seven brothers and.
SISTERS i, mean we've figured out what hard work was
early in, life common, sense how to make ends. Meet
(23:58):
And i've been a lifelong withisconsinight that has raised a family.
HERE i, mean we've been able to live The american.
Dream and that's the Message i'm going to take to
the people the state Of, wisconsin AND i think we
can get that message to.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
People.
Speaker 13 (24:11):
Now our, Challenge john is going to be those people
who don't always come out and vote every. Election we
have to motivate, them and we have to do that
with bold, colors clear. Contracts you have to have that
clear contrast with the other. Side the other, side are
they talking about policy as you're alluding? To of course,
(24:31):
not it is all personality. Driven we need to talk
about policy and talk about how men and girls', sports
sanctuary cities in the state Of. Wisconsin we're going to
have safe. Streets we're going to emphasize those issues that
are pre eminent for the people the state Of. Wisconsin
lower property taxes and then freeze. Them we're going to
(24:52):
do things that are going to benefit everyone in the
state Of.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Wisconsin last thing BEFORE i let you go this morning
again talking With Representative live In wisconsin gubernatorial Candidate Tom,
tiffany the issue of. Immigration you, know it's not talked
about as much apart from the situations relating to immigrations
and customs. Enforcement you, know you don't See democrats talking
(25:15):
about the dramatic reduction in individuals coming into the, country
especially and more specifically comparatively speaking to the years That
Joe biden And Kamala harris we were in. Office i'm
curious your perspective right. NOW i, mean the majority of
the conversations we've had over the past few years have
been regarding immigration in the run up to last year's.
(25:37):
Election where is your head at right now relating to
that particular. Issue apart from the controversies That democrats bring
up relating to what immigrations And Customs enforcement is currently
doing in deporting criminals that are here in the country. Illegally.
Speaker 13 (25:54):
YEAH i think it's come down from one either number
one or number two in terms of, issues because you
have a president that's resolved the. Issue the border is now,
secure he showed how it could be. Done but we're
still seeing the residual, effects including In wisconsin where we
have people that are here illegally committing, crimes oftentimes repeated.
(26:15):
Crimes and then you have those same, people the Leftist,
democrats who will defend them to keep them in this
country though they're repeat. Offenders so the issue still is out,
there but it's not as prominent as it once was
because it's been. Solved and it's much like the price of.
Eggs remember that was the first thing they attacked the.
President i'm back On january, twentieth price of eggs go.
(26:37):
Down never.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Mind Congresvan Tom tiffany again running for governor In. Wisconsin
thank you for the time this. Morning safe travels to,
you AND i look forward to the next time you
AND i have the opportunity to.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
Talk good to talk to, You.

with you and illegal alien From mexico has been arrested
after control agents were shot at On saturday In. Chicago

man had been convicted of an aggravated unlawful use of a,
(27:12):
weapon felony possession of a, weapon and illegal. Entry he
is currently marked as a violator of The lake And
Riley act pending charges relating to assaulting. Officers The Border
patrol agents were attacked around nine thirty Am saturday in
the City's Little village neighborhood while conducting immigration enforcements. OPERATIONS
dhs said this in a press. Release agents were boxed
(27:35):
into a narrow street and an alley when a man
driving a Black Jeep wrangler open. Fire he fled as
bricks and paint cans were hurled from nearby. Rooftops the
barage damaged vehicles As chicago police helped extract the federal
agents from the. Ambush moments, later the Same Border patrol
(27:55):

(28:41):
and hand mocking THE ice, agents she then took off
down the road and tried to, escape and WHEN ice
agents went and pulled her, over she ended up, crying, Mom,
mom leave me. Alone in the law enforcement officer ended
up actually letting her. Go it was pretty pretty. Pathetic

management and there's definitely some common practices that.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Are just not happening.
Speaker 12 (31:17):
Today you can go into these big box stores and
employees don't even acknowledge. You in, fact you come off
as a burden to, them and they can be pushing
off supply cart and they will push right in front
of you as you're walking and not give you the right.
Away simple things like giving customers the right away and Saying, hi.
Speaker 3 (31:35):

shopper who comes within ten feet of. Them if they
are closer within four, feet the worker is required to
ask them if they need help or how their day is. Going,
(32:19):
okay assuming this story here From fox and the details are,
correct what a sad commentary that they had to get
to this level of specificity in order to train their
employees in customer service like that should be a. Given
BUT i can only imagine the gen zers when they're being, told,
(32:43):
hey you know you need to go and you, know
wave at a customer or smile at them and ask
them if they need. Help, well how far away do
they need to? Be how close do they have to

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