It’s a high-voltage Tuesday on the Need to Know Morning Show as Alex Taylor and Kevin Flynn mark one year since the inauguration of President Trump. The celebratory milestone is set against a backdrop of escalating chaos in Minneapolis and St. Paul, where "anti-Christian" rioters recently stormed a church service—an act now under aggressive federal investigation.
The duo welcomes Pat Stone from the legendary rock-theater act Hairball to discuss bringing "hellfire" to Shields Arena this weekend, even as Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki warns of life-threatening "60 below" wind chills. From exposing massive fraud in the "Mall of Somalia" to the legal fallout for Jacob Frey and Tim Walz, this episode tackles the hard truth behind Minnesota's "Winter of Love." Plus, a recap of Indiana’s historic national championship win and a pro-tip on "strip freshening" from ag expert Bridget Riedel.
