Hi, Bill Crystal here. I'm at Fibble Work on Sunday. I'm very pleased to be joined by Tim Miller,

a bit of role reversals as normally I joined Tim on Mondays, but I've got something I've got to do tomorrow morning, so I'm bumped, but Tim was kind enough to come on today. So thanks, Tim. Hello, Bill. I'm going to run you through the ringer here, all right? I'm not going to make it easy on you as in the host chair.

Really?

Oh, my God.

Okay.

You know, so too late to change up people here. I'm talking to the people in the back room here and the control room to get a nice, friendly guest. Anyway, thanks for joining me. We both flew back from Minneapolis Friday after a couple of days there. and normally sort of like to move on to the news today.

But I really, it was so, I think, striking for both of us and moving and, you know, Friday after a couple of days there and normally sort of like to move on to the news today but

I really it was so I think striking for both of us and moving and interesting and I'd be let's take a few

minutes and I don't know what surprised you lessons learned depressing inspiring give me your take

yeah both I came back with a cold I'm not I'm not meant for that climate, so it's even more inspiring that people are out there every

and that we wanted to be there and we talked to Mayor Frye.

And one of the things he said is he wants people to come.

It helps the economy, et cetera. And etc and you know saw ourselves as like a you know whatever like a support structure giving people a night of warmth before they go back out into the streets and and then you know

after pavino left and you know the trump and homin seemingly back down you know, the Trump and Homan seemingly backed down,

you know, I kind of said on Wednesday night. Instead, we're kind of in a more of a

valedictory place. And that was wrong, you know, it just was wrong. And I think that, you know,

being outside of Minneapolis, that made sense because I do think it was a political victory, right? Like, you know, just as in a war, there, you know, victories in the battlefield that don't necessarily yield victory in the war. You know, they, they had won the political battle there, right? Like, Donald Trump was forced to back down. And that's not nothing, you know, because he's not, there's been very few examples of that we can kind of count the times that he's been forced to back down here in the second

term. And, and to have had the actual people of Minneapolis been the one that won that was significant

and worth celebrating. That said, you know, the next day as we went out into the city, and you can,
