  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So you still a Vikings fan? Of course this is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going to be our year. No, it's not. J. J.

  Speaker 2: McCarthy's going to come out of his shell and he's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: going to take us to the promise.

  Speaker 1: He will be yeah with the other kids. A gamer.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He'll just be up at night playing now call of duty.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings have won how many Super Bowls?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we've competed very well.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: How many Super Bowls? We've competed very well? Are you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: owned four to own five? Well, I think we're tied
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with Buffalo for four four because the Cap lost once
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Cap yep and talking to and lost the other three. Well,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you couldn't score. I mean, you had a great upfense.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You had Chuck Foreman, Ahmad Rashad, Sammy White.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Remember there was that game within nineteen seventy five in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the NFC Championship at the Old Mets Stadium against the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Crooked Dallas Cowboys the Arlington Cowboys where Drew Pearson pushed
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Nate right to the ground, Drew caught a hail Mary
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pass that he never should have had true and there
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: was no interference penalty call. It was greatest Vikings team ever.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But you know what, that's the way it works, right.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So it works. It's still a great city. I don't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: know your governor said something real. He's stupid again a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago. More has he said anything. I mean,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you know, there was a time. I'll tell you the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: one second I like Tim Wolves one second. I want
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to hear this. Yes, it was during the Wretched DNC,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: which was horrible, every second of it except for this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: when I saw his son's reaction to his father on
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: stage and that kid was crying, that's my dad, that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: my dad. I was actually met at Republicans that day
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: because they were calling him all kinds of names. That
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was the only time I kind of liked Wolves, the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: fact that his kid loves him that much, and actually
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it was kind of human. Let's let's be clear.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You you really appreciated his son, You did not appreciate
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Tim Walls a very good point. Yeah, I mean, he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: not your dad and he's not my dad. Thank goodness.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: That guy can't run a one car parade. He is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: an absolute moron. He thinks, in fact, moron has two words.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You're right, I hate him again, But do I hate
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: him as much as I hate Jacob Fry, the Monopolis mayor.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know one small fry. Small Fry He's a
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: really bad guy too. Did you see what these guys
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: did on Monday. It's a Memorial Day, Holidays, I celebrate
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the men and women who have made the ultimate sacric
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Jump in George Floyd. They wanted George Floyd.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a criminal. It's a drug addict in a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: career criminal. I know that they wanted to celebrate instead
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of our I mean, Jacob Fry tweeted six times about
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the deceased criminal and once very vanilla about our soldiers
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and their families who made the ultimate sacracic.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I've been saying it for years. We've got murals here
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in New York. Tom statues. This guy was a scumbag.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: He was arrested nine times. He put a gun in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a pregnant woman's stomach. I don't think he died of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a fentanyl overdose, but he was certainly on drugs that day.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Either way, this is the person we turned our country
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: upside down for, whether he was murdered or not. This
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is the person that, like you said, six seven years later,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: demands the respect from the governor and mayor. In Minnesota.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We got other bad people there. Keith Ellison's a terrible person. Yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he's bad news.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Who's good besides you? We got a lot of good people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: If you go look at the presidential heat map from
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four election, it's on the Minnesota Secretary
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of State's website, you will see all red in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: state of Minnesota except for a blue dot in the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Twin Cities metro area. And by the way, another blue
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: spot up in the Northwest angle, which has more moose
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: than people.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Is that like, oh, Claire, what is that? Exactly?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: No, No, that's up Canada. That's way. In fact, there's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a stretch that is Canada and then goes back to Minnesota.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's like sixty miles of it. So you're telling me
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Tom Emmer, outside of Saint Paul and Minneapolis that the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: rest of that state is basically red.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I am Tim Walls. Tim Walls was reelected with fifty
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: two percent of the vote. He only won thirteen of
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: eighty seven counties. The seventy four counties that he lost
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: said he got thirty seven percent of the vote, including
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: his hometown where Trump I beat him by thirty points.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: In his hometown, it is the thirteen county metro And
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: by the way, that is not all blue. It's probably
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: fifty two forty eight or fifty four forty six.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am shocked by this. So is the last
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Republican governor. We haven't had one here in forever. It's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: been all the way back to PATTACKI you remember that. Now,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: hopefully Bruce Blakeman will be that guy. Paul Lenty. Is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that your last Republican governor? Yes? He was pretty good,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: right he was. That was the last one. Yes, it
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was Norm Coleman didn't run for Oh he did. He
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: lost to Jesse Ventura, he did. It was rigged. They
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: rigged out election. They rigged it. But Jesse did a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: good job getting all those young kids. And there was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a time there when Norman was running for everything. Even
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Hubert Humphrey Junior could win those races. Let's let's get back, though,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to what you're doing every day in Congress. Well, let's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: get to Texas. Okay, Okay, here's Cornyn. Now, as far
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: as I know, Cornyn has never said anything bad about
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: President Trump. He votes with the President over ninety nine
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: percent of the time. I know Trump is frustrated and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: angry with the House and the Senate. I know that,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: but Cornyn didn't seem like the type of guy that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: really irk President Trump. Yet the President goes out endorses Paxton.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Paxton wipes the floor with this guy, and President Trump
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is showing every week now, Tom Emmer, if he endorses
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you in the GOP primary, you're gonna win.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: No, it's pretty clear. But we said this for years now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's endorsement matters. And you know what, I'm not
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: gonna play the rear view mirror stuff. There was a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: battle that took place in Texas last night. The primary's over,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the people have spoken, and now this argument, which I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: understand in a primary, Well, this guy can't win. I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a better candidate, and you know you're gonna have to. No,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: if you're from Texas and you don't know who Ken
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Paxson is, then you're really not from Texas. He's been
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: through everything in Texas. Ken Paxton is now the candidate. Well,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: but I mean, who knows. Donald Trump has been through
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: good and bad himself, me too, and look at him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: He's a probably one of the greatest leaders we've ever
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: had James History. Ken Paxton is gonna win in November.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He is, Well, this guy, Tyler Rico is a cycle.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: He's insane. This is what the Democrat, yesterday's Democrat Party
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in today's Marxist socialist. This is why Newt Gingrich says
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it best. This coming election is a it's not the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: contract with America. It's common sense versus crazy. You got
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: common sense, which is Donald Trump and Republicans, or you
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: got crazy, which is these people they think they think
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: boys shit can be competing with girls. I mean, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: got Tim Wallace, who's putting tampons in boys' bathroom.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: On her school bathroom. I think it's even it's even easier.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's good versus evil. Like when I look at this
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: DSA condidates. You got this guy in Michigan right now,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: he's a bad person. We just had a candidate win
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. She won relatively easily. We got the mayor, Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we got the Maine main Right. Well, I gotta tell you, Tom,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: this guy, Graham Platner, you will never hear me say
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: anything bad about it veterman ever. Ever. I hate this guy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I hate him. Anybody anybody that has anything nice to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: say about Bertie Sanders, in my opinion, is a terrible American.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's worse than that. I mean, this guy
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is he's a complete fraud. He's got an answer for everything.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: He's got an answer for the Nazi tattoo he's got.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: On his he has his answer for that. Who knows.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I don't listen to it, but he the other day
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: he said disparaging things about a fellow veteran. Yeah, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: called it. They said he didn't deserve the purple heart.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: He said he deserved to be dead.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: He should be dead.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And then when he was questioning on it, his answer was,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you're questioning me, do you know my military service?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: No, you don't play that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's like ilhan Omar when we question her about criminal activity,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: she says, oh, you're a racist. That's not That's what
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: democrats do today.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I know. They try to give you a shiny object
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in distract. Platner also was very rough on Chris Kyle
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that made the movie American Sniper the Corporal. Well, you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: mentioned i elan Omar. She's another psycle from your state, Minnesota.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta love him. Why is she so wealthy? And
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: what are we doing about that?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. I mean, first off, il Han
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is always at the center of everything. Right, there should
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: be more gratitude from il Han. She came to this
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: country at the age of five. This is the she
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: could have stayed in Somalia, but no, she's had the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: great opportunity that this country offers. And what she want
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to do, she wants to criticize us all the time.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: She's at the center of defeeding our future scandal, that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million dollar largest pandemic fraud case
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. She created the fund in Congress that the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Somali fraudsters, who, by the way, are her constituents and friends.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: There are videos that her celebrating with them as they're
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: handing out supposedly meals maybe to themselves. We're going to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: find out more about that. But then if that isn't enough,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: there's all these allegations of marriage fraud that, by the way,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: if she did commit marriage fraud, she should be denaturalized
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and shipped back to Somalia yesterday.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It's our result great.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And then you're talking about the sixty five thousand dollars
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that she put on her financial disclosures in Congress two
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: years ago. Last fall she updated it to thirty million,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and now it went about seven months at thirty million
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and when she saw Eric Swalwell, I will argue getting
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: burnt to the ground by the left wing media, she
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: suddenly had a a an epiphanty and said, oh, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: have a rounding error, so it's thirty million down to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: as much as ninety five thousand. Oh, come on, this
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: gal is crooked. This is not just bad fish. This
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: is bad smell, bad instincts.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: This is the majority whip out of Minnesota Tommember. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we can't get with of her. See the censure thing
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: people get all excited doesn't do anything. Basically, you get
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to yell at her in the chamber you you're a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bad person, and then she goes right back to work.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Now the only way that this is going to happen.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Somebody asked me last week if she should be forced
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: to testify in front of Congress because she's ignoring subpoenas.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'd rather see her testify in front of a criminal
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: jury row she gets indicted. My constituents and people all
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: across this country asked me all the time, sid when
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: is someone going to be held accountable for all the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: money that's been stolen?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't Todd Blanche? Is that basically what he'd be doing. Look,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I know the President was not happy with Pam Bondy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: He likes her, he loves her. All great. But Blanche,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you gotta say, is doing everything you can to make
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the president happy, even going up to Jim Comy, which
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: is a no win. That's a loser situation. Why can
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he do something?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But wait a second, let's say that James Comy think
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: he's going after No, this was a grand jury indictment.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: If people need to understand, this didn't happen because Todd
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Blanche suddenly had the big job. Now he's going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: go after James Comy. They had a grand jury going
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: for weeks, if not months, and they took testimony, they
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: created the claim that they built the indictment, and then
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: they did it. When it just happened to be Todd Blanch,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it would have been Pam Bondi as well.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: All right, how much do you guys miss Maudrei Telergreen?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Be honest.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: It's her birthday today, Happy birthday, Marjorie.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: No, it's not really Yeah, so that is so ironic.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: How did somebody that loved the president, and I know
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: she had a battles with all of you guys, I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: mean I remember the first time I actually met Mike Lawler,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he said, watch out for her. I swear to God.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: The Esposito same thing. You know, they say that about Lawler.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: They tell me all the time, watch I know that guy. Well,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they say he's a rhino. They say he wants he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: wants honesty, he wants all these crazy things. I love Lawler,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: but not true. No, I'm not even clothes. But what
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: happened to her? What do you think happened? I don't know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: You know what what happens to people when they go
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to Congress in general? I mean they is there a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: different kind of air there, especially over in the Senate.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Think about the Senate. They're attacking our president right now
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for the They call it a slush fund that would
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: give private citizens in this country access to funds compensation
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: when their government attacks them. Right, these are the same
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: guys that last fall said Ardic Frost.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You remember that message.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: They gave themselves a private cause of action where senators
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: who were impacted by Ardach Frost could suer up the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: five hundred million dollars. But no, no, now we're gonna
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: put a fund in for the American citizen. It's good
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: enough for the senators, but it's not good enough for
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the citizens. This is what we're dealing with every day
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in Congress.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: What kind of job? And I love this guy, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: love them, I do. But I told to people every
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: day that some love him, some don't. What kind of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: job is Mike Johnson doing. I think he's doing a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: great job. Great job.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I tell you what. You got to grab a hold
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: of that wheel. I don't care what your background is.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: If you got that job, you got to grab a
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: hold of the wheel, and baby, you gotta hang on
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and do not panic. You got to drive straight ahead.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what storms are in front of you. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you encounter. You just hold the wheel
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: and go straight through. And look what we've been doing
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of years, exactly that, and sid
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they count us out every time. But I will tell you,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: people will tell you in Washington it's probably the best
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: leadership group that you've seen in the House in years
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: in terms of getting things done. We've got one, two
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: three extra votes and we're getting more done than We'reublican
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: majorities in the last decade that had two hundred and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: forty seven members. Imagine that, so you tell me. You
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: may not like somebody, you may disagree with him, but
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the proof is in the results.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I love Mike Johnson. I love you. I think you're
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: just amazing. I could watch you and listen to you
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: all day. You're hypnotizing, you're really all great. So tell
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: me then on the way out here, because you got
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to go to Fox News and speak to Brian kill Meat.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Tell me what you guys are looking to do over
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the next couple of months. Besides the obvious win the midterms.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you're in that chamber, bills and those
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: types of things, what are you guys looking to do well.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I think our great president is going to lead the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: way with Iran. Right now they're trying to skewer him
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: because he is the president of peace. He's doing it again.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is completely decimated the biggest terrorist regime
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that we have known in the last fifty years. The
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Iranians have killed more Americans than any other terrorist group
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: on the face of the planet in the last five decades.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump has ended that and their military is decimated.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: He is now trying to negotiate a peace agreement, which
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is going to be peace on our terms. If that happens.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Sid what you're going to see the billions of dollars
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that have been invested over the last several months in
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: our economy because of the big beautiful tax bill, as
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the President calls it, that those billions of dollars, Now
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: we will pay attention to that. Gas prices will start
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to come back down. People will start to pay attention
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: to all the good news that is in the economy.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And guess what, we're going to hold our Republican majorities
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: because we have something to run on. What is the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: other side doing nothing? They're doing the same thing they
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: did back in twenty twenty four.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing Save America Act is not going to happen. It better.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a House member. We've sent it over
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: there a couple of times. I think it's up to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the Senators to get their act together and that they
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: get that thing across the floor and one one form
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: or another.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So you don't think the whole filibuster discussion nothing's going
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to change the h Do you think something's going to change.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Well, well, look you can't just keep using the filibuster
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and the parliamentary and you got to take a vote.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Stop hiding behind these things and take a vote. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: can tell you in the House the reason we get
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: things done is because I'm tired of hearing over and over.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I just need a little bit more time. Guess what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: the time runs out, It's the moment of truth. You're
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: gonna show everyone in America where you stand on an issue.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: You're either with us or you're against us. That's what
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: they need to do.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: In the Senate final question, the Timberwolves are out sad
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: exit again. So now you're gonna have probably Oklahoma City,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the other winning champs, up three games to two. I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: don't see San Antoni winning your game seven on the road.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Probably Oklahoma City. Tom Emmer take on the New York Knicks.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: You are currently sitting on forty ninth Street and Third Avenue,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: not very far from Madison Square Garden, Oklahoma City, New
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: York Knicks. Who is Tom Emmer root for?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a Cat fan. Remember we gave you the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That was a great trait for us. I remember what
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: what was Minnesota thinking, Julius Randall and Devincenzo for one
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of the great big men in the game. That was
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: huge for us.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: It really was huge and that's why I'll be watching
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: your New York next even though I'm a Minnesota guy
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and we're not big fans of the Yankees, and we're
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: not fans the Giants.

  Speaker 1: guy right now that as a fan of all those teams.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Norm Coleman, Well, of course, of course, but that's a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: different thing. I mean, I guess you grew up in Brooklyn.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: That doesn't really count. It doesn't really you're actually born
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Badly.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I've got seven kids and two of them are Yankees fans.
• 19:27

• 19:32
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, Tom, it's hard to be a Minnesota
• 19:35

• 19:40
  Speaker 1: be different. Sid.

• 19:43
  Speaker 2: almost five hundred.
