So having a new defense out here I could even feel yesterday just how looks can feel a little more muddy and you’re not quite sure Personnel wise what you’re getting and so that’s I think that’s a good thing to kind of be uncomfortable that way and um it’s why these days are really
Important for us to get a lot out of them maybe maybe we need to feel more uncomfortable on this show as well maybe that would get us that we have a new Look Tonight elusive Emmy welcome back to another edition of enough said my name is Dan barrero joined as always by
Justin guard and as we mentioned to you last week Lori Fisher taking yet another week out unbelievable off and Natalie brininger kind enough to fill in as she often and very capably does hi Natalie hi you guys thanks for having me back everybody deserves the time off okay
Well you have to say I know she’s your boss I believe it make sure everything’s clean but all the cleaning done yeah that’s important I already did it I got a gold star that’s excellent that’s good all right well the Vikings and Titans face each other at U.S Bank Stadium this
Weekend after joint practices this week and as you saw in that video there things got a little feisty with some pushing and shoving at times and when our cameras were not allowed one Titan’s player was ejected for throwing a punch at Viking Center Garrett Bradbury so
We’ll see how things go on Saturday well it’s interesting uh Natalie you bring up Bradbury’s name because one of the the viral several pieces of video that has somehow escaped from that joint practice session is a Tennessee Titan defensive lineman just abusing Garrett Bradbury almost as if he’s not there right and
Look uh it’s one play It’s one joint practice we all look for morsels and I don’t want to overreact to it but when it’s a part of the team that looked vulnerable last year and the year before that and people were concerned about coming into this season that’s the
Interior part of the club’s offensive line that to me is still you know the biggest question your guy Kirk has impressed people via the Netflix quarterback Series yeah showing his toughness how many times he got hit and how how many times he felt really bad but continued to play through it sooner
Or later your guy Kirk Cousins Justin is probably going to get hurt if they don’t do a better job of of protecting him and I think that really is still one of the open questions going into this season not to tackle so much as we know
But whether the interior part as we saw even in that last playoff game uh will will collapse enough to make life rather miserable for your favorite QB so much so that they were still bringing in offensive lineman a week and change ago right to try to fortify the guard
Position so I do agree with you is there anything more cliche though than this time of year the training camp fights I mean it’s a it’s a tale as old as time isn’t it and every every single time the coaches will say we’re bringing in this
Team and let’s just take the Titans for example I know Braves Mike Vrabel I was on staff with him or was on a team with him in New England we’re about the same things we’re about the same stuff and we’re not going to let any of that stuff
Go and the Viking this was pretty tame All Things Considered right the New York Jets canceled their second joint practice with I believe the Bucks because of some skirmishes and they were worried about some things so it’s um I guess it tells you that the season is is
Getting closer and closer because we’re having those same conversations what worries me is for a second straight Year we’re dealing with injuries with the draft picks Jordan Addison now misses some time he’s in concussion protocol after missing all the offseason yeah I mean we’ve chronicled his you know the
Ups and downs with him first of all being injured then the speeding thing and now concussion protocol which is obviously serious you can’t there’s a reason why he’s in there you can’t mess around with that stuff but the third round pick the corner Blackman now got
Hurt on Thursday as well and if that continues you’re talking about we know what happened last year right with Andrew booth and with Lewis scene a couple of draft classes back to back just getting washed out so hopefully those guys are ready to go for the opener because we still don’t really
Know what kind of drafter quasiodofamensa is correct now we have not been able to assign a grade mostly because guys have just not been available by the way Dion Sanders as I understand was bitter more of his players didn’t get into a fight or participate in a in a training camp
Fight oh really at Colorado yeah so I wonder did what did our coach react the same way that’s that’s to me that’s such a stupid speaking of cliche coaching cliche it is if you really show me you care you’re going to get in on that
Fight and get and be a part of it uh I’ll give you four quick names yep Blackman all you know young players draft players electric picks last year’s Blackman Addison Ingram and Evans all need to contribute significantly this if this team is going to go anywhere this
Year and a couple of them have looked promising when they haven’t been hurt but they are needed and that is where the the new GM is on the clock enough said twins are still on top of the standings in the AL Central but it’s been a roller
Coaster of a week splitting the series with the Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates are up next kind of feels like the last time I filled in we talked before the show Dan and Natalie said what do we say about the Twins and I said what did you say last time
Because that’s what we say every week right it seems like a broken record and they’ll have a really nice series they’ll have some real promising results they’ve got great pitching we know that they’ve they’ve they finished that out nicely in the last week and then they go
And they just have you know just like a weird two-game stretch against the Tigers that you know one of the bottom dwellers in the American League and you’re still just kind of left with the same discussion of if they can get into the playoffs which seems unavoidable
Because you’ve got what five and a half weeks now left in the regular season and they’re three or four games up and no one else is trying more and a half up um it’s just it’s been a really interesting year that way and when you’re already thinking about the young hitters being
The positive parts of the offense the offense as we say on the radio then you kind of know the season has not gone the way that it was intended to when we were barely talking about Byron Buxton manager even said earlier this week that his return is not imminent we’ve only
Talked about Carlos Correa when it comes to his struggles it’s the Matt walners of the world and the kierolofts of the world and Royce Services of the world now that he’s back that you look at and say okay well maybe those are the guys that if they do get into the postseason
Those might be the guys that have to carry you a little bit but that’s a lot to ask from from the younger kids on this team well and into the regarding the team’s longer term future it actually might be promising to to say it looks like they are assembling
Some interesting hitters young hitters interesting everyday player pieces although we were talking about injuries with the Vikings injuries have reared their head a few times way too many times for the twins as well so I don’t even know what you count on including with Lewis that’s exactly yeah 100
Um yeah we’ve we’ve had a big discussion this week on the radio about a start immune column that seemed to or didn’t seem to um lectured it’s gold and scolded and hammered twins fans for allegedly not feeling not appreciating this team enough given the position they’re in
Which is they’re going to win the division and I just I guess I’m befuddled by it because as you say the record’s the record there are five teams vying for wild card spots in the league that have better records than the twins do several of those have much better
Records than the Twins and we know occasionally a team in a bad bad division gets in and also makes a bit of a run but the level of inconsistency here it leaves people confused they’re not sure and that playoff history which is historically bad going back to 2004
Going back two decades is the elephant in the room too so if fans aren’t flocking and aren’t ready to say God I just love watching this yeah please I mean I I I I think that’s we don’t need that level of patronization Natalie what were you doing in 2004 I was in high
School there you go that’s the last time won a playoff game again not a series I got to miss school one day to go to a for you yeah yeah inspired the 2 2009 movie The Blind Side ex NFL star Michael Orr claims the family that took him in as a teenager
The tuis tricked him into a conservatorship and used the deal to earn Millions from the movie Orr says he just learned about the conservatorship but the tuis lawyers say that he acknowledged it back in 2011 in a book and the family never controlled his finances Dan it’s a uh it’s it’s
Becoming in some ways I think a more difficult unless you’ve decided in the front end that you know you’re taking one side or the other right and it doesn’t matter what evidence you know it comes forward from there I think it’s becoming more confusing by the day in in
Large measure let me back up first of all and say we shouldn’t be shocked in general when Hollywood even before this controversy takes a story that might have a kernel of truth to it yeah and they play with it and they mash it and they mold it and they oversimplify it to
Make bigger statements whatever because we tend to like those oversimplified statements and to make it into a great movie that everybody feels great about exactly wins an Oscar for all of that by the way doesn’t mean that Sandra Bullock should have to give back her Oscar one of the most Preposterous accusations
That have been made Tim McGraw should apologize too you know JFK the movie is filled with demonstrable lies and a series of conspiracy theories embroidered into one big one but on the other hand it was a hell of a movie and it’s really good filmmaking that courtroom scenes compelling yeah exactly
It so look I’ve said in the front end this is these are these are really disturbing allegations for sure but I have like a lot of people I think if you’re trying to play this straight a bunch of questions that I need answered before I’m ready to say that it ends up
Being as bad as the original accusations I I don’t know where you are let’s go back let’s go to another movie Let’s Go To All the President’s Men which is Watergate what does deep throat say follow the money that’s essentially what we’re going to have to do in this case
Right because it does seem to be all about the money who got what when what the understanding was when they were going to get that money who was responsible for cutting the deals to get that money the one issue is we learn more about this story well there’s multiple issues obviously because
There’s still so many unanswered questions but Natalie pointed it out in the open that I think is going to be tricky for Michael Oher when in his own book he talks about this Arrangement that goes back 12 years now do we will we find out that he that was written
Also written in concert with the other attorney that was helping him out that maybe he worded it a certain way I don’t know but it and and the group texts that have come out here recently The indictment alleges that rather than buy abide by Georgia’s legal process for election challenges the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering Enterprise to overturn Georgia’s presidential election result former president Donald Trump and 18 of his allies now facing charges in Georgia a grand jury indicted the former president on charges related to alleged
Efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election the charges include a felony racketeering and numerous conspiracy charges Trump denies any wrongdoing and says that this case is politically motivated well in fact I think early this week is it Monday he’s going to have a presser as you hear the
Update on that nobody change his mind predictably that’s been he’s canceling that because I was thinking all week that doesn’t make a lot of sense I bet he cancels that and I guess his attorneys stepped in is what he’s saying yeah my attorneys advise me it’s
Probably not the right thing to do I I didn’t think that would stop him because he’s because he’s got evidence that the election was stolen that was going to be that’s what he was going to do let me give you some analytics this is from a a an attorney a licensed practicing
Attorney who writes for a righty uh magazine and website on several claims claim one this is of course claims that Trump and his Bobo’s have have laid out over a period of time 2056 felons voted in the Georgia election 2020 reality four actual cases were found where felons voted and charges were filed
Claim two 66 248 people under 18 voted in Georgia reality zero people under 18 voted in Georgia in 2020. claimed three two thousand four hundred twenty three people who were not registered voted in Georgia actual number zero and I’ll give you one more um claim number five ten thousand three
Hundred fifteen people who passed away voted in 2020 in Georgia reality four such cases and this can all be vetted and has been vetted it doesn’t matter to the people who are going to continue to live with the delusion but um that’s the sad reality that we’re in
Here whether any of this makes the case itself winnable I need greater legal Minds than you and I are anything to understand it because it’s hard to keep you know track of all the cases against them now without a scorecard in terms of which is the most winnable which is the
Easiest to prove in court my understanding of the distinction that matters in this one is though uh he can’t be pardoned as in he can’t even pardon himself right there are legal questions of whether that would have been possible but knowing Donald J Trump if he had the opportunity you know and I
Know he would have tried well we don’t know if it’s possible because we’ve never had to ask that question correct right how many how many what president was he 45 and 45 presidents I don’t think we’ve really ever had to answer that question I know we had some tricky
Moments with Nixon but yeah but he eventually stepped away right and and we know we all know why we just referenced that movie in the first segment of the show 11.5 million documents I read today in this case which is essentially if you stacked them all up the the equivalent
To nine Washington monuments I believe that’s how much evidence is going through here I’ve also heard by the way this week you know wins enough going to be enough for Trump supporters isn’t there a line we know the answer to that three years ago four years ago we knew
The line for that the New York Times did a whole thing like will this be enough and they lay it out Point by point just like you and what did you say at the end of all the claims it doesn’t matter except none of this matters I think the
Hope is though among again swing voters right it will that’s the distinction but then you got the Wild Card the sitting president and some issues there and no questions all bets are off man which is why it’s not Preposterous that he can’t get the nomination and win again and
Absolutely win by the way the other smart thing the conspiracy theories do you notice all those numbers I quoted they weren’t round numbers so it sounds more impressive like there’s ten thousand three thirty six and go oh that sounds like that’s a real number right it’s not a real number it’s an invented
One okay the devastation continues in Maui now more than 100 people are now confirmed dead that number is expected to rise as hundreds of people are still unaccounted for more than 2 200 buildings have been damaged or destroyed by the fire the majority of them homes officials there defending their choice
Not to sound the sirens saying they’re for tsunamis and residents might have gone toward danger but the Emergency Services Chief did resign Thursday night it’s um the the this is a perfect storm of uh you know natural forces that are very very difficult and sometimes even maybe impossible to control and what looks
Like some really horrendous decision making on the ground that also might have if they’ve been made better mitigated a Circumstance the scariest thing I heard Justin most recently is concerned that the number is going to go up about the number of children yes who who perished in this deal because that
Day they were supposed to be going to school and didn’t because I believe of a power failure that had already developed right and so a lot of parents who don’t have an option uh they still went to work they left their children at home many of those houses have still not been
Checked in terms of the final body count which is a horrendous thing to think about even the person in charge of man of of of of uh the the management preparedness the reaction the he had no history none other than political interests with the I think working for
The mayor or somebody else in position of authority into in terms of doing this particular job so it’s the more we we learn I think the more uh embarrassing and frightening it’s going to be yeah and it’s it’s obviously always easy to second guess yes that’s
Kind of the point right I mean you you want to think that you have the right people in place that have been through the right situations they mentioned that he had done some trainings right and okay everybody as Mike Tyson said Everybody’s Got A Plan until you get hit
You can go through all the trainings you want but if you’ve never had to respond to something like this and there haven’t been a lot of things like this In fairness to them but the defense on the sirens that we have different systems for when it’s something like this when
It’s a wildfire or we send but if those things are not working which if you listen to people that were actually there and living there including the text messages and the calls that that we all get when there’s a snow emergency here in Minnesota your phone rings and
It says hey there’s a snow emergency you can’t park that wasn’t working either so if you have a system in place that doesn’t work then you’ve got nothing and so to defend it by saying if we did the sirens then would have thought it was something different they needed to think
Something because too many people in all the in the footage that we’ve seen have said we got nothing we got no warning we got no direction we had no you know I guess help to get us where we needed to go money is absolutely trash money is also though practically speaking part of
This they they knew that there were certain things they had to do about power lines to mitigate potential catastrophes like this but it costs money to do it right they didn’t get approval for the money or that was still in in part of the process and that’s where the bureaucracy comes in and
That’s where sometimes there’s not you know enough money for everything because the belief now is a downed power line may have had as much to do with any one of them yeah with moving that brush fire into a place where the shelter in place warning which was another mistake went
Came wait stayed way too late and that made a lot of people stay in place as opposed to get out when they might have had a chance to escape more than two million rebate checks are going out to minnesotans right now for many it’ll come soon through direct deposits if the
State has one on file from your 2021 taxes if not you may see a check in the mail so this is something Governor walls had promised kind of kind of right what is it about 25 percent then of what he originally promised and and I don’t know to all the
Same people right I was going back and referral not to all the same people refreshing myself on what the original promises were and obviously there was you know some in the thousands and in the income thresholds and yes yeah you’re left with uh you know a couple of
Hundred bucks and I don’t want to diminish that but I also kind of Wonder even for the lowest you know income levels that we’re talking about here how far does that really go and is it better served as we always say with one of these things are you better served using
All of this money that’s going out to a bunch of different places doing different things with it that might have a more long-lasting impact on certain things I know certainly that’s part of the reason why the money is as little as it was supposed to be because Republicans a year ago were saying
Rather than do this bulk thing why don’t we try to give some ongoing stuff in terms of tax cuts different programs all of that but you can’t be surprised when you promise a big number or a bigger number and this is what you’re left with that people are kind of wondering what’s
The point of all of it a cynic would suggest that when put out the grandiose figures the larger numbers back in the campaign he knew full well that he wasn’t going to be able to do it or he wasn’t going to get the legislative approval to get it done which is
Ultimately what took place correct and yet everybody’s supposed to forget that later and he can say hey I did what I did the damn legislature got gotten away so I don’t think anybody should feel all that whole as a result of just all right time for lightning round
Former Vikings running back Dalvin cook has found a team he’s had a one-year deal with the New York Jets worth about 8.6 million dollars as we all know he spent six seasons with the Vikings before being released earlier this year he is I think still got a lot in the
Tank I think he is so if he’s healthy uh and you know I do believe by the notion that when you’re a veteran guy who feels maybe a little bit more rejected than he thinks he should have been even though we understand the finances of it that there might be a little extra
Bounce in his step he gets to play with the former enemy a ride yeah the guardian talks about if he dominates he’s dominating you know in the uh in the other yeah I’ve got no beef with the Jets you know the Jets can do whatever
Had he gone to Green Bay or something I probably would have been annoyed this is fine he can still help a team absolutely especially if you had the surgery that was bothering him for a couple of Seasons which I still don’t quite understand what the delay was if you
Needed surgery why he didn’t get it which he did I think this last offseason for that shoulder so yeah he was good for the Vikings best of luck tone well the Women’s World Cup final is this weekend with Spain facing England you can watch it right here on Fox 9 and
This week the coach of the U.S women’s national team actually resigned the team coming off that disappointing exit from the World Cup in the amount of 16. and like I said last week we’re still doing the games even though the United States isn’t in it that’s big of us as big of
Us as a country that’s big of us as Fox that shows you um how poorly the thing went the tournament’s not even over yet and the coaches decided to move on did you also see here’s what this shows you how goofy this is apparently the the Spain coach has been hated that players
