Start your morning right with The Need to Know Morning Show hosted by Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor, bringing you a wild mix of weather, politics, local stories, and outdoor updates — with a side of smoky air and political fire. In this packed episode, the hosts rant and riff about Canada’s never-ending smoke invasion, air quality alerts “until further notice,” and how it’s affecting everything from bloody noses to outdoor plans. They also break down Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive claims about the Obama administration’s role in the Russia hoax, pulling apart press conference soundbites and calling out media narratives. If that wasn't enough, expect passionate debates on Trump, taxes, and tip exemptions — and don’t miss a dramatic takedown of a $2.5 billion Fed building reno. Later, Bridgette Readel stops by for an ag report you won’t forget, including terrifying details on the New World Screwworm (ew 😬), and Steve Carney checks in from the lakes with hot tips on shallow-water walleye fishing. 🔥 Standout Moments & Timestamps: 0:00 – 1:45 | Smoky skies and sinus misery: Canada’s smoke puts summer on pause 2:00 – 4:00 | “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”: Trump’s press conference recap and Carolyn Lovett’s fiery AP smackdown 5:00 – 10:30 | Trump vs. media, tip-tax exemptions, and “TDS” (Trump Derangement Syndrome) takes center stage 14:00 – 16:00 | Twins heartbreak vs. Dodgers and Otani’s insane streak 17:00 – 18:30 | Vikings ticket madness: How to beat the scalpers 25:30 – 33:00 | 🔥 The Tulsi Gabbard bombshell: Obama’s alleged role in the Russia hoax laid bare 34:00 – 36:00 | Greg Jarrett’s segment: Will anyone be held accountable?
