Roshini Rajkumar

The hour begins with open phone lines. Chair of the Minnesota GOP Jennifer Carnahan joins Roshini for the second segment. With the Supreme Court vacancy as a backdrop, Jennifer shares why she believes Minnesota will vote red for the first time since 1972. KSTP's Brett Hoffland joins Real Talk at the bottom of the hour. Brett almost lost his life to testicular cancer, not usually a young man’s disease. He shares the random way he found out and the treatment that led to his recent good bill of health. Now, he’s proactively trying to save all men. His wife Mary McGuire makes a surprise visit on-air. She shares what it was like being right by Brett's side throughout the entire process, how they dealt with Brett's diagnosis together, and now what they're doing to spread awareness of testicular cancer and encourage all men to see a doctor regularly.
