Should learn to live with it, but I don't want to.....

After the past two Sunday broadcasts at the Minnesota State Fair, we're back in the Patriot bunker for today's edition of The Closer. I am on the air from 1:00 until 3:00 PM Central Time. 

Like many others, I took the time to reflect where I was 14 years ago Friday when America was attacked on its homeland. As such I will take the opening segment to share my remembrances of 9/11/2001. 

I'll also look back on some news items from this past week, including the confounding momentum of the Donald Trump for President campaign, defiant Kentuckian Kim Davis being released from jail, the deplorable Harry Reid, etc. 

At 1:30, basketball wonk Mike McCollow will check in. With Timberwolves executive/head coach (and Mike's long time friend) Flip Saunders stepping away from his coaching duties while being treated for lymphoma, we'll discuss the Wolves' prospects under interim coach (and Mike's other long time friend) Sam Mitchell. 

Then at 2:45 we'll hear from Kathy Shellum, who is the Executive Director of the Miss Minnesota Scholarship Pageant. Kathy will check in from Atlantic City, where she has been all week for the Miss America Pageant preliminaries. We'll get an update from Kathy on how Miss Minnesota Rachel Latuff has fared and size up her prospects for tonight's pageant finals!!

So please give me a call at (651) 289-4488 if you'd like to discuss any of the topics I plan on addressing. You can also text comments/questions to (651) 243-0390.

You can listen live in the Twin Cities at AM 1280 on your radio dial. In and out of the Minneapolis-St Paul area, you can listen to the program on the Internet by clicking this link, or check us out via iheart radio. 

Even though I have a face for radio, there is a UStream channel where you can watch the broadcast, if you so desire. Check it out here.

Until then.....
