An airline sent me an email saying I qualified for a 200 voucher
Tim Wildmon So, fellas, just real quickly, I was. I didn't know. I didn't know what the date was. I was looking at a email I got earlier this morning, and I couldn't remember. An airline sent me an email that I, patronize this airline. Yeah. And they sent me. I'm. Because of some reason, I qualified for a 200 voucher on their airline.
Steve Jordahl Okay.
Tim Wildmon And the deadline, they said, was April 28th.
Ed Vitagliano You got it today?
Tim Wildmon Yeah. And today. so I said, that sounds familiar. What is today? So I went to my calendar. Calendar. My phone was charging.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Tim Wildmon It said, today is April 29th.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Tim Wildmon Makes me think they did that on purpose. Am I right?
Ed Vitagliano Are you sure it's from the airline?
Tim Wildmon Yeah, I'm sure. I had to look that up.
Steve Jordahl Is it?
Tim Wildmon Let me just say this. That is very shrewd if they did do this on purpose, because you know what my attitude is.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Tim Wildmon I don't have the time or the energy to try to call them up on the phone, get on hold 30 minutes, and then get transferred to talk to somebody or. About why. About why or. No, Or why I. That why I got. Asked him. You know, I got a $200 credit, but y' all sent it to me a day late.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano You could take a screenshot and email it and say, listen, I've been. I've been patronizing your airline for. About. Bubba. For how many years.
Tim Wildmon How long do you want to go through this for? 200 bucks? how long do you want to do this?
Ed Vitagliano Especially since. Were you planning on flying anywhere?
Tim Wildmon They'll have to get back to me in the end. I'm sure they'll have to ask.
Ed Vitagliano You might still get the voucher, is what I'm saying.
Tim Wildmon I know. I'm just saying I was wondered if that was on purpose.
Ed Vitagliano Let me just tell you how these things can pay off, Tim. And then we'll get to the important stories of the day.
Tim: Everybody needs to count their own milk duds in life
Let me just say something completely unimportant.
Tim Wildmon Please do.
Ed Vitagliano When I was in high school, we Used to. My mom used to get. There were these little milk carton looking things, and it was called.
Steve Jordahl Your picture was on it.
Ed Vitagliano Nope. 201 malted milk balls. okay. And you open it like a milk carton and you pull them out. Well, Ed decides, I Wonder if there's 201. So I poured them out into a bowl and counted them. There were 196. I. I wrote a letter to the company complaining about this fact. And a month later, I got a letter back with a free carton of malted milk balls. And the letter said, we apologize. We, go by volume. We don't individually count them out. Which makes sense. But Tim, I got a whole free carton.
Tim Wildmon Okay. And I'm saying, so there is justice in this world.
Ed Vitagliano Sometimes a little effort can get you something. And in this case, $200 voucher.
Wesley Wildmon That's not an analogy or. That's a real story.
Ed Vitagliano That's a real story.
Wesley Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano I did this.
Steve Jordahl Although I imagine you have. You used it as a sermon illustration.
Ed Vitagliano Once I have done that, you want to enter the kingdom of heaven, Sometimes you got to go the extra mile. No, I'm just kidding.
Tim Wildmon Everybody needs to count their own milk duds in life.
Ed Vitagliano That's right.
Tim Wildmon Most boxes only have 12 or 15. It's easy to count.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. These are the big cartons.
Tim Wildmon Give it up to you for counting. 196.
Ed Vitagliano And yeah.
Tim Wildmon Holding those people's feet to the fire.
Ed Vitagliano I held them. Held them. I held them with both of my hands.

Steve Wesley: mic cuts out on Buffalo Sabres singer during national anthem
All right, Steve, what do you got for us on this, National Shrimp Scampi Day?
Steve Jordahl I'd like to start. I know that you're gonna have to bear with me, because I think we're
Tim Wildmon gonna bear with you, Steve.
Steve Jordahl We're gonna have a little bit of an input from Ed here. Apparently, the Boston Bruins are in a playoff.

Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Steve Jordahl Buffalo's in America.
Ed Vitagliano Buffalo and Boston.
Tim Wildmon Buffalo still in America.
Steve Jordahl Do they sing the Canadian national anthem?
Ed Vitagliano They always do in Buffalo because a lot of their fans cross the border.
Steve Jordahl Well, a lot of their fans just happen to know the national anthem. The Canadian national anthem. Listen to what happened.
Wesley Wildmon Cut.
Steve Jordahl 18.
Tim Wildmon Oh, Canada, our home and native. Hatred love.
Steve Jordahl The mic kept cutting out. They didn't have a new battery in the mic. It was a wireless mic. And the battery. I could tell because that's happened to me a bunch of times. Battery was running out. And the. The Boston. The Buffalo fans knew the national anthem.
Ed Vitagliano They hear. They heard every game. Every home game.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. Ah.
Ed Vitagliano first of all, who's in charge of the mic that doesn't check the battery right before a big game?
Steve Jordahl A Buffalo, you know, Buffalo team.
Ed Vitagliano And let me just say this. Fred's not in here, so he doesn't need to think that. I'm just saying it for his benefit. I always. I think the Canadian national anthems beautiful.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Steve Jordahl Very beautiful.
Tim Wildmon I thought for a minute she had forgot the words.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. No, the mic cut out.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. Yeah. And they all.
Tim Wildmon You know what? If I ever forgot the words and I was singing, I would say the mic. Wouldn't you just.
Ed Vitagliano Just move your mouth.
Steve Jordahl Yes. Watermelon. Watermelon, Watermelon.
Tim Wildmon You. Do you. Do you have heard of these singers?
Wesley Wildmon Proven, or is that just the, hearsay?
Steve Jordahl What's that?
Wesley Wildmon Watermelon.
Steve Jordahl Watermelon that's what they tell you. That's. It looks like you're saying words, but,
Tim Wildmon Yeah, I don't know what you are talking about. You've lost me here.
Ed Vitagliano Watermelon. Watermelon.
Wesley Wildmon That fruit. It's that fruit. This you cut open.
Tim Wildmon You know, I didn't need that. I didn't need that. Wesley, I'm trying to learn something here.
Steve Jordahl They say that you're a singer and you forget the words to a song. Just say watermelon. W. Don't.
Ed Vitagliano I mean, you don't say the words. You mouth it.
Steve Jordahl You mouth watermelon. Watermelon. It just looks like.
Tim Wildmon Oh, if it. If. Okay, so. So that's.
Ed Vitagliano It makes it look like you're actually saying that.
Steve: You think about what keys you're singing in
Steve Jordahl And the mic cut out, right?
Tim Wildmon The mic cut out. Yeah. But you have heard of these people who forget the words to the National.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, yeah.
Tim Wildmon That would be terrifying.
Wesley Wildmon Or you've also seen. We've also seen where it was pre recorded in their singing.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon And then the audio stops.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Or the mic cuts out.
Tim Wildmon That was the end of my career. Singing career there. And that happened to me twice.
Wesley Wildmon Anybody.
Ed Vitagliano You led a great life world. So many different options you have.
Wesley Wildmon I remember this didn't work out though.
Steve Jordahl It never works out. I remember listening to. It was a San Francisco Giants Montreal Expos game on the radio. And, they SANG this, the U.S. national anthem first. And then they were going to sing. The same guy was going to sing the Canadian national anthem. Now they're set in completely different keys. So this is when I knew the guy was in trouble. So the US national anthem ends, and the home of the brave. And he just went right on. Oh, Canada. Well, that pitches it way high. Oh, Canada. So anyway, I knew he was in trouble and sure enough, he started singing. And I thought, this is going to be fun.
Tim Wildmon So the point is, you got to create some separation.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. You just. You think about what keys you're singing because.
Tim Wildmon Absolutely. Yeah, I do.
Ed Vitagliano That's good. Ever. That's good. Good advice for you young people at home.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Right.
Ed Vitagliano Always know what key you're singing in.
Steve Jordahl That's true.
Ed Vitagliano Always far in life as you go through life.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. next story, Steve.
King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla are guests of the President
Steve Jordahl All right. so, the. The. We had a British invasion, yesterday in the middle of it right now. King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla are guests, of the President. And, he's, taking a little tour of the rebel colonies. And, I wanted to play a little bit of. He's kind of. He's got some good speechwriters. I suspect that he did not write these humorous lines, but he delivered a couple of them pretty well. And, there's a reason that I, brought this in. but let's listen to it. This is him kind, of a montage of some of what he said yesterday to.
King Charles This is a city which symbolizes a period in our shared history, or what Charles Dickens might have called a Tale of Two Georges. I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own, small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814. You recently commented, Mr. M. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French.
Tim Wildmon So what you talking about right there?
Ed Vitagliano Well, the fact that England and France were in a war fought. The French and Indian war.
Steve Jordahl Well, that. And also that, the French, were on the US Side of the, Civil War. They helped us against.
Ed Vitagliano They didn't.
Steve Jordahl So.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, that's very funny. I'm sure he has speech writers.
Steve Jordahl Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
Ed Vitagliano But that's. The British are just funny.
Ilhan Omar is a member of Congress from Minnesota
Steve Jordahl Anyway, well, I wanted to bring that out. I showed you guys something during, When. During the break. 10:30 and everything. We have a. A member of Congress from, Minnesota. Her name is Ilhan Omar.
Ed Vitagliano I'm a huge fan.
Steve Jordahl And, I'll just say that, This is. I'm going to play you something that she. That happened to her in 2015. I'll play the cut. I'll tell you right now. It immediately. Almost immediately corrected by her. But, I have a feeling she. She was not that up on Roman numerals.
Tim Wildmon This goes back 11 years.
Steve Jordahl No, 20. Did I say 15? No, it was 25. 20. 25. It was a year.
Tim Wildmon A year ago.
Steve Jordahl A year ago. And, And so this,
Ed Vitagliano Is.
Steve Jordahl This was ilhan Omar in 2025. Cut 17. The last time the Alien Enemies act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon She didn't do that.
Ed Vitagliano Well, no, wait a second.
Wesley Wildmon That was before. AI. that's true.
Ed Vitagliano Help me out here. The Japanese weren't involved in World War I.
Steve Jordahl No. World War II.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, but she.
Tim Wildmon But.
Steve Jordahl Oh, 11. Two ones.
Wesley Wildmon No messy.
Tim Wildmon You even know about that story?
Ed Vitagliano 11. Yeah, no, I. Yeah. Wait a second.
Wesley Wildmon Roman numerals.
Steve Jordahl Oh, 11.
Ed Vitagliano 11. Okay, yeah, never mind. No, yes, I'm following.
Tim Wildmon Listen, I don't mind people Telling me when I do something dumb. Yeah, well, I do mine. I do mine.
Wesley Wildmon But you might in the email form. You just don't want them through comments.
Tim Wildmon I stay married anyway.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Tim Wildmon Stay married anyway when I'm told I'm dumb. And I'm not going to call out a name of who might be the perpetrator.
Elon Omar is a Somali-American congresswoman from Minnesota
so this. This deal here, Elon Omar, a United States congresswoman from Minnesota, Somali born, came over here. What she's doing is she's reading, I think.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Tim Wildmon And. And bless her heart.
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon She doesn't know Roman numerals. The Roman numerals stand for World War II. And. And the idea that there was ever even a World War 11 at all, outside of maybe Star wars, is how you can do that as a congresswoman, is unbelievable.
Ed Vitagliano I didn't even know about this story this morning. I was checking X. I'm going through stories, Tim, that you send that we're going to cover. And I was going through X to see what people are talking about, and there was someone saying, I woke up today and World War 12 had started. And I was going, what? World War 12. What does that mean?
Wesley Wildmon Well, listen. Well, she's originally from where? Somalia.
Ed Vitagliano Somalia.
Wesley Wildmon Any. Any idea about what age she came over?
Tim Wildmon no. she married her brother.
Wesley Wildmon I knew she married her brother.
Tim Wildmon That's what they say. Yeah, that's what they say. So he could get over here.
Ed Vitagliano They don't even allow that down here in the South.
Wesley Wildmon So what I'm getting is that even in progressive education, they still teach World War II.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Roman numerals are. You should know, Roman numeral. But not that she didn't understand Roman numerals. Is that she had any. She could roll together words. World War 11.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Any kind of a serious press conference and think that was a possibility. That's worrisome right there, huh? and I don't know if she married her brother or not, but I'm just saying that there was a story about her marrying her brother so that he could come to the US and live.
Wesley Wildmon That's right.
Ed Vitagliano And that she could come and they got divorced.
Tim Wildmon Or she could come.
Wesley Wildmon They got divorced. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon So it was a trick.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. Someone put together a. Well, okay.
Tim Wildmon Okay, let's move on.
We beat up on Elon. On, uh, E, L, O, N
We beat up on Elon. I want to beat up on. Not E, L, O. On, E, L, O, N. what's your name?
Ed Vitagliano Ilhan.
Steve Jordahl Ilhan.
Tim Wildmon Ilhan.
Ed Vitagliano Omar.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Okay.
Dr. Alice Stanford advocates for defunding and eliminating ICE completely
Steve Jordahl I want to talk about the Pennsylvania congressional candidate. Her name is Dr. Alice Stanford. Stanford, like the College.
Tim Wildmon She's what now?
Steve Jordahl She's a congressional candidate. She's running for Congress in Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia area.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Steve Jordahl And she was, on a, She was doing an interview with NBC, 10 in Philadelphia. And the. The lady who's interviewed her, she, has been advocating for defunding and eliminating ICE completely. Well, she had a problem with, the answer to this question, cut 13.
Speaker F You also said you're running to abolish ICE. This is something that we've heard other Democrats and activists talk about. Yeah. from an immigration enforcement perspective.
Steve Jordahl Yes.
Speaker F Who do you think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws? It's a good question. And you can pause, because I just want to think about it. Well, yeah, go ahead. We need to continue, though.
Who do you think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws
Okay. Who do I think should be in charge of, enforcing immigration laws?
Tim Wildmon Sound like. She sounds like she thinks this is a Jeopardy Question. Am I right? Listen to her. It's like you have 15 seconds to answer this question.
Ed Vitagliano And what does it. What she meant was.
Steve Jordahl Oh, and pause maybe.
Ed Vitagliano Well, you should hit pause or something, because she wants to think about the recording.
Tim Wildmon That's what she's talking about. She's talking about the Internet. You need to help me out. I'm a little like a fool.
Ed Vitagliano How do you advocate, for the elimination of ICE and then not think. Think about who's going to replace them?
Wesley Wildmon That's usually what liberals do. They complain about stuff that they don't have a solution.
Ed Vitagliano I haven't heard of anything so absurd since World War 11.
Steve Jordahl It's been that long? Has it been that long?
Tim Wildmon That was a piece of gold there.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Well, she should do fine on the Democratic side.
Steve Jordahl Well, here's the thing. She's a surgeon. She's a doctor again. Medical doctor. So that unintelligent. I think that, like, Wesley was saying, they just don't think down it for Congress. Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano And she's a doctor.
Steve Jordahl Yes, sir.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Surely not a medical doctor.
Steve Jordahl Yeah, she's the plastic surgeon.
Tim Wildmon She's the one that.
Ed Vitagliano Plastic surgeon.
Steve Jordahl So barely a doctor.
Wesley Wildmon Should you use the scalpel or the stitches?
Ed Vitagliano Here, put it on pause for just a second.
Steve Jordahl Let me think about.
Tim Wildmon Somebody get my medical textbook over here. We need to find out how we do surgery on. I don't know. She. Maybe. She may have a wonderful doctor.
Wesley Wildmon She may be very.
Tim Wildmon A medical doctor. She may be a wonderful medical doctor. She may be probably a good neighbor, but.
Ed Vitagliano But she's gonna make a terrible congressman.
Tim Wildmon She's gonna make a terrible congresswoman. Yeah, Go ahead.
Steve Jordahl Okay.
Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has pancreatic cancer
Let's talk about something a little more serious. former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has been doing a tour of the media. He has pancreatic cancer, which has, metastasized to almost every part of his body.
Ed Vitagliano Very deadly form of cancer.
Steve Jordahl And he has found a medication that is shrinking the tumors, but it's only going to prolong the inevitable, according to him. And, he was talking, with the, It was 60 Minutes. The. I'm trying to remember the name of the host there, but it'll come to me while we're playing it. but he asked. He asked about what she's going to regret. Is he going to miss his children? And I thought it was a fantastic answer that he gave. And this is kind of.
Ed Vitagliano Scott Pelley.
Steve Jordahl Scott Pelley. This is kind of typical, of what he's been saying out there. Cut 13.
Speaker G My wife, Melissa, has. We've been married 31 years. I, We're going to be apart for a time. but she's tough and gritty and theologically rooted, and she's going to be fine. My daughters are 24 and 22, and they're extraordinary. I want to walk them down the aisle when they get married. that's not likely to be. That's not the math of my time card. My son, we have a providential surprise. He's a decade younger than big sisters. He's 14. And, he's going to be fine. He'll have other wise men and women to put a hand on his shoulder. But I'm super bummed to not be there. at 16 and 18 and 20 years old in his life, want to give him more advice than he wants. And I want to put my arm on his shoulder. I want his shoulders to get taller. But it's not a surprise to God.
Ed Vitagliano And God, you believe, has a plan.
Speaker G Absolutely. There are no maverick molecules in the universe.
Ed Vitagliano That's. I, I heard that, I think it was this morning. I don't remember. But what a. What a great testimony of. Of a man of God. I'm sure his wife is a woman of God. He speaks very highly of her. That's. That's maturity.
Tim Wildmon That.
Ed Vitagliano That's.
Steve Jordahl That.
Ed Vitagliano That's a maturity. That's someone who knows the Lord and who fully understands. He's not deluded as to what his chances are. And it's a very brutal form of cancer, that. And liver cancer and others, colon cancer. what a great testimony. So he, you know, he's a former senator and.
Tim Wildmon From Nebraska.
Ed Vitagliano From Nebraska.
Tim Wildmon But he was. He was. He's been the president, I guess that's the name. Maybe chancellor of, the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Steve Jordahl That's what he went after he retired.
Ed Vitagliano So that's how. That's why 60 Minutes wanted to interview him. But he took that opportunity to honor God.
Steve Jordahl Well, he's been extraordinary. He's been going. All of his interviews that I've seen lately, and he's been doing numerous ones of them have been him dealing with his impending death, and they've all been mature God, honoring. he's not under. I mean, this is a guy that. Just from listening to him, you know, that he knows that. He knows that. He knows, as the saying goes.
Ed Vitagliano And kudos to 60 Minutes for treating this, with the respect that it deserves and with the seriousness, no mockery, very respectful of his beliefs. I have no idea what Scott Pelley, believes. but, So this. We wanted to play this for our listeners so that folks, would hear his testimony. And,
Wesley Wildmon And it's a good reminder. And we. I don't think we can be. You know, you always. I often say you can't be too thankful, and I also don't think you can be. I don't think you can be reminded too much as a Christian that our eternal homes in heaven.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon And that.
Abe: He's going to die young because of the cancer
And having the eternal perspective. And he knows his wife's a believer, which is why he said, oh, you know, we'll be apart for some time.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon But we'll see.
Ed Vitagliano It's very beautiful, what he said. And he's only, like 54 or something. 55. so that's very young. I mean, it's probably not real young to people who are in their 20s, but that's. That's because of the cancer. He's going to die young. But like you said, he. He's.
Steve Jordahl He.
Ed Vitagliano He and his wife have done a good job, apparently, raising their kids and have, been rooted in the scriptures and in their relationship with Christ for years, so that when this trial hits, they are handling it in a mature way.
Wesley Wildmon And you said he served in Nebraska.
Tim Wildmon he was a United States senator, Republican from Nebraska for eight years, it looks like. Yeah. And then. And then he left that job to become. I don't know what the Florida, Nebraska connection is. I don't know if he's alumni.
Wesley Wildmon I'm thankful we have people like him that serve in politics.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Or had or did serve.
Tim Wildmon Yep, yep, yep. and he's a reminder. He's reminding us all of our mortality.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. You know, he did not go to, any schools in Florida, but they might have offered him the job.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, he took it. Smart guy.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Tim Wildmon U.S. senator. All right, well, we're out of time. I thank the Wesley. Ed.
Ed Vitagliano Steve. Abe.

Tim Wildmon They'll have to get back to me in the end. I'm sure they'll have to ask.
Ed Vitagliano You might still get the voucher, is what I'm saying.
Tim Wildmon I know. I'm just saying I was wondered if that was on purpose.
Ed Vitagliano Let me just tell you how these things can pay off, Tim. And then we'll get to the important stories of the day.
Tim: Everybody needs to count their own milk duds in life
Let me just say something completely unimportant.
Tim Wildmon Please do.
Ed Vitagliano When I was in high school, we Used to. My mom used to get. There were these little milk carton looking things, and it was called.
Steve Jordahl Your picture was on it.
Ed Vitagliano Nope. 201 malted milk balls. okay. And you open it like a milk carton and you pull them out. Well, Ed decides, I Wonder if there's 201. So I poured them out into a bowl and counted them. There were 196. I. I wrote a letter to the company complaining about this fact. And a month later, I got a letter back with a free carton of malted milk balls. And the letter said, we apologize. We, go by volume. We don't individually count them out. Which makes sense. But Tim, I got a whole free carton.
Tim Wildmon Okay. And I'm saying, so there is justice in this world.
Ed Vitagliano Sometimes a little effort can get you something. And in this case, $200 voucher.
Wesley Wildmon That's not an analogy or. That's a real story.
Ed Vitagliano That's a real story.
Wesley Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano I did this.
Steve Jordahl Although I imagine you have. You used it as a sermon illustration.
Ed Vitagliano Once I have done that, you want to enter the kingdom of heaven, Sometimes you got to go the extra mile. No, I'm just kidding.
Tim Wildmon Everybody needs to count their own milk duds in life.
Ed Vitagliano That's right.
Tim Wildmon Most boxes only have 12 or 15. It's easy to count.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. These are the big cartons.
Tim Wildmon Give it up to you for counting. 196.
Ed Vitagliano And yeah.
Tim Wildmon Holding those people's feet to the fire.
Ed Vitagliano I held them. Held them. I held them with both of my hands.

Steve Wesley: mic cuts out on Buffalo Sabres singer during national anthem
All right, Steve, what do you got for us on this, National Shrimp Scampi Day?
Steve Jordahl I'd like to start. I know that you're gonna have to bear with me, because I think we're
Tim Wildmon gonna bear with you, Steve.

Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Steve Jordahl Buffalo's in America.
Ed Vitagliano Buffalo and Boston.
Tim Wildmon Buffalo still in America.
Steve Jordahl Do they sing the Canadian national anthem?
Ed Vitagliano They always do in Buffalo because a lot of their fans cross the border.
Steve Jordahl Well, a lot of their fans just happen to know the national anthem. The Canadian national anthem. Listen to what happened.
Wesley Wildmon Cut.
Steve Jordahl 18.
Tim Wildmon Oh, Canada, our home and native. Hatred love.
Steve Jordahl The mic kept cutting out. They didn't have a new battery in the mic. It was a wireless mic. And the battery. I could tell because that's happened to me a bunch of times. Battery was running out. And the. The Boston. The Buffalo fans knew the national anthem.
Ed Vitagliano They hear. They heard every game. Every home game.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. Ah.
Ed Vitagliano first of all, who's in charge of the mic that doesn't check the battery right before a big game?
Steve Jordahl A Buffalo, you know, Buffalo team.
Ed Vitagliano And let me just say this. Fred's not in here, so he doesn't need to think that. I'm just saying it for his benefit. I always. I think the Canadian national anthems beautiful.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Steve Jordahl Very beautiful.
Tim Wildmon I thought for a minute she had forgot the words.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. No, the mic cut out.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. Yeah. And they all.
Tim Wildmon You know what? If I ever forgot the words and I was singing, I would say the mic. Wouldn't you just.
Ed Vitagliano Just move your mouth.
Steve Jordahl Yes. Watermelon. Watermelon, Watermelon.
Tim Wildmon You. Do you. Do you have heard of these singers?
Wesley Wildmon Proven, or is that just the, hearsay?
Steve Jordahl What's that?
Wesley Wildmon Watermelon.
Steve Jordahl Watermelon that's what they tell you. That's. It looks like you're saying words, but,
Tim Wildmon Yeah, I don't know what you are talking about. You've lost me here.
Ed Vitagliano Watermelon. Watermelon.
Wesley Wildmon That fruit. It's that fruit. This you cut open.
Tim Wildmon You know, I didn't need that. I didn't need that. Wesley, I'm trying to learn something here.
Steve Jordahl They say that you're a singer and you forget the words to a song. Just say watermelon. W. Don't.
Ed Vitagliano I mean, you don't say the words. You mouth it.
Steve Jordahl You mouth watermelon. Watermelon. It just looks like.
Tim Wildmon Oh, if it. If. Okay, so. So that's.
Ed Vitagliano It makes it look like you're actually saying that.
Steve: You think about what keys you're singing in
Steve Jordahl And the mic cut out, right?
Tim Wildmon The mic cut out. Yeah. But you have heard of these people who forget the words to the National.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, yeah.
Tim Wildmon That would be terrifying.
Wesley Wildmon Or you've also seen. We've also seen where it was pre recorded in their singing.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon And then the audio stops.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Or the mic cuts out.
Tim Wildmon That was the end of my career. Singing career there. And that happened to me twice.
Wesley Wildmon Anybody.
Ed Vitagliano You led a great life world. So many different options you have.
Wesley Wildmon I remember this didn't work out though.
Steve Jordahl It never works out. I remember listening to. It was a San Francisco Giants Montreal Expos game on the radio. And, they SANG this, the U.S. national anthem first. And then they were going to sing. The same guy was going to sing the Canadian national anthem. Now they're set in completely different keys. So this is when I knew the guy was in trouble. So the US national anthem ends, and the home of the brave. And he just went right on. Oh, Canada. Well, that pitches it way high. Oh, Canada. So anyway, I knew he was in trouble and sure enough, he started singing. And I thought, this is going to be fun.
Tim Wildmon So the point is, you got to create some separation.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. You just. You think about what keys you're singing because.
Tim Wildmon Absolutely. Yeah, I do.
Ed Vitagliano That's good. Ever. That's good. Good advice for you young people at home.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Right.
Ed Vitagliano Always know what key you're singing in.
Steve Jordahl That's true.
Ed Vitagliano Always far in life as you go through life.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. next story, Steve.
King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla are guests of the President
Steve Jordahl All right. so, the. The. We had a British invasion, yesterday in the middle of it right now. King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla are guests, of the President. And, he's, taking a little tour of the rebel colonies. And, I wanted to play a little bit of. He's kind of. He's got some good speechwriters. I suspect that he did not write these humorous lines, but he delivered a couple of them pretty well. And, there's a reason that I, brought this in. but let's listen to it. This is him kind, of a montage of some of what he said yesterday to.
King Charles This is a city which symbolizes a period in our shared history, or what Charles Dickens might have called a Tale of Two Georges. I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own, small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814. You recently commented, Mr. M. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French.
Tim Wildmon So what you talking about right there?
Ed Vitagliano Well, the fact that England and France were in a war fought. The French and Indian war.
Steve Jordahl Well, that. And also that, the French, were on the US Side of the, Civil War. They helped us against.
Ed Vitagliano They didn't.
Steve Jordahl So.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, that's very funny. I'm sure he has speech writers.
Steve Jordahl Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
Ed Vitagliano But that's. The British are just funny.
Ilhan Omar is a member of Congress from Minnesota
Steve Jordahl Anyway, well, I wanted to bring that out. I showed you guys something during, When. During the break. 10:30 and everything. We have a. A member of Congress from, Minnesota. Her name is Ilhan Omar.
Ed Vitagliano I'm a huge fan.
Steve Jordahl And, I'll just say that, This is. I'm going to play you something that she. That happened to her in 2015. I'll play the cut. I'll tell you right now. It immediately. Almost immediately corrected by her. But, I have a feeling she. She was not that up on Roman numerals.
Tim Wildmon This goes back 11 years.
Steve Jordahl No, 20. Did I say 15? No, it was 25. 20. 25. It was a year.
Tim Wildmon A year ago.
Steve Jordahl A year ago. And, And so this,
Ed Vitagliano Is.
Steve Jordahl This was ilhan Omar in 2025. Cut 17. The last time the Alien Enemies act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon She didn't do that.
Ed Vitagliano Well, no, wait a second.
Wesley Wildmon That was before. AI. that's true.
Ed Vitagliano Help me out here. The Japanese weren't involved in World War I.
Steve Jordahl No. World War II.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, but she.
Tim Wildmon But.
Steve Jordahl Oh, 11. Two ones.
Wesley Wildmon No messy.
Tim Wildmon You even know about that story?
Ed Vitagliano 11. Yeah, no, I. Yeah. Wait a second.
Wesley Wildmon Roman numerals.
Steve Jordahl Oh, 11.
Ed Vitagliano 11. Okay, yeah, never mind. No, yes, I'm following.
Tim Wildmon Listen, I don't mind people Telling me when I do something dumb. Yeah, well, I do mine. I do mine.
Wesley Wildmon But you might in the email form. You just don't want them through comments.
Tim Wildmon I stay married anyway.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Tim Wildmon Stay married anyway when I'm told I'm dumb. And I'm not going to call out a name of who might be the perpetrator.
Elon Omar is a Somali-American congresswoman from Minnesota
so this. This deal here, Elon Omar, a United States congresswoman from Minnesota, Somali born, came over here. What she's doing is she's reading, I think.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Tim Wildmon And. And bless her heart.
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon She doesn't know Roman numerals. The Roman numerals stand for World War II. And. And the idea that there was ever even a World War 11 at all, outside of maybe Star wars, is how you can do that as a congresswoman, is unbelievable.
Ed Vitagliano I didn't even know about this story this morning. I was checking X. I'm going through stories, Tim, that you send that we're going to cover. And I was going through X to see what people are talking about, and there was someone saying, I woke up today and World War 12 had started. And I was going, what? World War 12. What does that mean?
Wesley Wildmon Well, listen. Well, she's originally from where? Somalia.
Ed Vitagliano Somalia.
Wesley Wildmon Any. Any idea about what age she came over?
Tim Wildmon no. she married her brother.
Wesley Wildmon I knew she married her brother.
Tim Wildmon That's what they say. Yeah, that's what they say. So he could get over here.
Ed Vitagliano They don't even allow that down here in the South.
Wesley Wildmon So what I'm getting is that even in progressive education, they still teach World War II.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Roman numerals are. You should know, Roman numeral. But not that she didn't understand Roman numerals. Is that she had any. She could roll together words. World War 11.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Any kind of a serious press conference and think that was a possibility. That's worrisome right there, huh? and I don't know if she married her brother or not, but I'm just saying that there was a story about her marrying her brother so that he could come to the US and live.
Wesley Wildmon That's right.
Ed Vitagliano And that she could come and they got divorced.
Tim Wildmon Or she could come.
Wesley Wildmon They got divorced. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon So it was a trick.
Steve Jordahl Yeah. Someone put together a. Well, okay.
Tim Wildmon Okay, let's move on.
We beat up on Elon. On, uh, E, L, O, N
We beat up on Elon. I want to beat up on. Not E, L, O. On, E, L, O, N. what's your name?
Ed Vitagliano Ilhan.
Steve Jordahl Ilhan.
Tim Wildmon Ilhan.
Ed Vitagliano Omar.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Okay.
Dr. Alice Stanford advocates for defunding and eliminating ICE completely
Steve Jordahl I want to talk about the Pennsylvania congressional candidate. Her name is Dr. Alice Stanford. Stanford, like the College.
Tim Wildmon She's what now?
Steve Jordahl She's a congressional candidate. She's running for Congress in Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia area.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Steve Jordahl And she was, on a, She was doing an interview with NBC, 10 in Philadelphia. And the. The lady who's interviewed her, she, has been advocating for defunding and eliminating ICE completely. Well, she had a problem with, the answer to this question, cut 13.
Speaker F You also said you're running to abolish ICE. This is something that we've heard other Democrats and activists talk about. Yeah. from an immigration enforcement perspective.
Steve Jordahl Yes.
Speaker F Who do you think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws? It's a good question. And you can pause, because I just want to think about it. Well, yeah, go ahead. We need to continue, though.
Who do you think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws
Okay. Who do I think should be in charge of, enforcing immigration laws?
Tim Wildmon Sound like. She sounds like she thinks this is a Jeopardy Question. Am I right? Listen to her. It's like you have 15 seconds to answer this question.
Ed Vitagliano And what does it. What she meant was.
Steve Jordahl Oh, and pause maybe.
Ed Vitagliano Well, you should hit pause or something, because she wants to think about the recording.
Tim Wildmon That's what she's talking about. She's talking about the Internet. You need to help me out. I'm a little like a fool.
Ed Vitagliano How do you advocate, for the elimination of ICE and then not think. Think about who's going to replace them?
Wesley Wildmon That's usually what liberals do. They complain about stuff that they don't have a solution.
Ed Vitagliano I haven't heard of anything so absurd since World War 11.
Steve Jordahl It's been that long? Has it been that long?
Tim Wildmon That was a piece of gold there.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Well, she should do fine on the Democratic side.
Steve Jordahl Well, here's the thing. She's a surgeon. She's a doctor again. Medical doctor. So that unintelligent. I think that, like, Wesley was saying, they just don't think down it for Congress. Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano And she's a doctor.
Steve Jordahl Yes, sir.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Surely not a medical doctor.
Steve Jordahl Yeah, she's the plastic surgeon.
Tim Wildmon She's the one that.
Ed Vitagliano Plastic surgeon.
Steve Jordahl So barely a doctor.
Wesley Wildmon Should you use the scalpel or the stitches?
Ed Vitagliano Here, put it on pause for just a second.
Steve Jordahl Let me think about.
Tim Wildmon Somebody get my medical textbook over here. We need to find out how we do surgery on. I don't know. She. Maybe. She may have a wonderful doctor.
Wesley Wildmon She may be very.
Tim Wildmon A medical doctor. She may be a wonderful medical doctor. She may be probably a good neighbor, but.
Ed Vitagliano But she's gonna make a terrible congressman.
Tim Wildmon She's gonna make a terrible congresswoman. Yeah, Go ahead.
Steve Jordahl Okay.
Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has pancreatic cancer
Let's talk about something a little more serious. former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has been doing a tour of the media. He has pancreatic cancer, which has, metastasized to almost every part of his body.
Ed Vitagliano Very deadly form of cancer.
Steve Jordahl And he has found a medication that is shrinking the tumors, but it's only going to prolong the inevitable, according to him. And, he was talking, with the, It was 60 Minutes. The. I'm trying to remember the name of the host there, but it'll come to me while we're playing it. but he asked. He asked about what she's going to regret. Is he going to miss his children? And I thought it was a fantastic answer that he gave. And this is kind of.
Ed Vitagliano Scott Pelley.
Steve Jordahl Scott Pelley. This is kind of typical, of what he's been saying out there. Cut 13.
Speaker G My wife, Melissa, has. We've been married 31 years. I, We're going to be apart for a time. but she's tough and gritty and theologically rooted, and she's going to be fine. My daughters are 24 and 22, and they're extraordinary. I want to walk them down the aisle when they get married. that's not likely to be. That's not the math of my time card. My son, we have a providential surprise. He's a decade younger than big sisters. He's 14. And, he's going to be fine. He'll have other wise men and women to put a hand on his shoulder. But I'm super bummed to not be there. at 16 and 18 and 20 years old in his life, want to give him more advice than he wants. And I want to put my arm on his shoulder. I want his shoulders to get taller. But it's not a surprise to God.
Ed Vitagliano And God, you believe, has a plan.
Speaker G Absolutely. There are no maverick molecules in the universe.
Ed Vitagliano That's. I, I heard that, I think it was this morning. I don't remember. But what a. What a great testimony of. Of a man of God. I'm sure his wife is a woman of God. He speaks very highly of her. That's. That's maturity.
Tim Wildmon That.
Ed Vitagliano That's.
Steve Jordahl That.
Ed Vitagliano That's a maturity. That's someone who knows the Lord and who fully understands. He's not deluded as to what his chances are. And it's a very brutal form of cancer, that. And liver cancer and others, colon cancer. what a great testimony. So he, you know, he's a former senator and.
Tim Wildmon From Nebraska.
Ed Vitagliano From Nebraska.
Tim Wildmon But he was. He was. He's been the president, I guess that's the name. Maybe chancellor of, the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Steve Jordahl That's what he went after he retired.
Ed Vitagliano So that's how. That's why 60 Minutes wanted to interview him. But he took that opportunity to honor God.
Steve Jordahl Well, he's been extraordinary. He's been going. All of his interviews that I've seen lately, and he's been doing numerous ones of them have been him dealing with his impending death, and they've all been mature God, honoring. he's not under. I mean, this is a guy that. Just from listening to him, you know, that he knows that. He knows that. He knows, as the saying goes.
Ed Vitagliano And kudos to 60 Minutes for treating this, with the respect that it deserves and with the seriousness, no mockery, very respectful of his beliefs. I have no idea what Scott Pelley, believes. but, So this. We wanted to play this for our listeners so that folks, would hear his testimony. And,
Wesley Wildmon And it's a good reminder. And we. I don't think we can be. You know, you always. I often say you can't be too thankful, and I also don't think you can be. I don't think you can be reminded too much as a Christian that our eternal homes in heaven.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon And that.
Abe: He's going to die young because of the cancer
And having the eternal perspective. And he knows his wife's a believer, which is why he said, oh, you know, we'll be apart for some time.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon But we'll see.
Ed Vitagliano It's very beautiful, what he said. And he's only, like 54 or something. 55. so that's very young. I mean, it's probably not real young to people who are in their 20s, but that's. That's because of the cancer. He's going to die young. But like you said, he. He's.
Steve Jordahl He.
Ed Vitagliano He and his wife have done a good job, apparently, raising their kids and have, been rooted in the scriptures and in their relationship with Christ for years, so that when this trial hits, they are handling it in a mature way.
Wesley Wildmon And you said he served in Nebraska.
Tim Wildmon he was a United States senator, Republican from Nebraska for eight years, it looks like. Yeah. And then. And then he left that job to become. I don't know what the Florida, Nebraska connection is. I don't know if he's alumni.
Wesley Wildmon I'm thankful we have people like him that serve in politics.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Or had or did serve.
Tim Wildmon Yep, yep, yep. and he's a reminder. He's reminding us all of our mortality.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. You know, he did not go to, any schools in Florida, but they might have offered him the job.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, he took it. Smart guy.
Steve Jordahl Yeah.
Tim Wildmon U.S. senator. All right, well, we're out of time. I thank the Wesley. Ed.
Ed Vitagliano Steve. Abe.
