They didn't get 10 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: to manage the story, they didn't get to massage the story.

He's a local reporter there first on five. 29 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: I think it's the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis. He's talking 30 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: about this. 31 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 4: I started by visiting Quality Learning Center daycare. So it 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: is that fourteen b which sits right in the heart 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 4: of downtown Minneapolis. Between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three, 34 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: the Minnesota Department of Human Services found ninety five violations 35 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: at this location. They range from failure to keep hazardous 36 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: items away from children to no records for sixteen children, 37 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: which include things like immunizations, emergency contacts, and medical needs. 38 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: So state investigators place Quality Learning Center on a conditional 39 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 4: license in twenty twenty two. I went to the daycare's 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: location several times and only once did I see people there. Oh, 41 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 4: that's your daycare, But I did not see any children there. 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: And then he goes on to say, wait, there's eighty 43 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: kids in there. There are eighty kids in the No no, no, no. 44 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: No, after school Okay, gotcha yeah, the whole after school gambit. 45 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 2: People have been talking about this story. We're only paying 46 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: attention to it now. We owe people like Jay Cole's 47 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: a huge debt. He was sharing this story. 48 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: Why didn't get picked up? 49 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: Why didn't he get shared? Then again, why didn't it 50 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: get shared? Going back to twenty fourteen when then Congressman 51 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: Jason Lewis was talking about it as he was in 52 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: Congress on committee about how money was going through the 53 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: Minneapolis airport and being pushed everywhere, there is a tremendous 54 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: amount to this story about how these things are reported. 55 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: Because these things seem to have been known, they just 56 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: weren't known to us. And in a world of NonStop, 57 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: consistent news, sometimes we missed the story that really is there. 58 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: We don't know how to process it, we don't know 59 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: how to push it out. 60 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Also, there's a big difference between twenty fourteen and now 61 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: when it comes to social media and who is the 62 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: media and how little we need ABC, nbc'sbs MSNBC, CNN, 63 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: never mind the New York Times of the Washington Post 64 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: to tell us what news is. 65 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 3: They don't get to and the anger that you are. 66 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: Seeing is about just that that they didn't get to 67 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 2: control this story. I'm not a journalist, guys, my radio 68 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: host Tonics smoke cigars for a living. But I like 69 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: you have a mind, and I like you and able 70 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: to engage when I have data. 71 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: The reporter, who we. 72 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: Are supposed to have a massive respect for, is supposed 73 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: to be the one getting with of this, getting news 74 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: of this, hunting down this story, hunting down that story, 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: reaching out to people going into the places, asking the questions, 76 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: why didn't any of them? I can accept that very possibly, 77 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: very possibly, factually, I didn't know about this story in January. 78 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: I didn't know. 79 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: You can argue that's on me. But now you're gonna 80 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: tell me the journalists didn't know. Well, that's impossible because 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: j Coles knew from KSTP. J Coles KOLs is his 82 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: last name, J JY J Coles KSTP. 83 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: That's where you find him on Twitter X. He knew. 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: You're telling me that nobody sent this up to anybody 85 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: at CNN or Fox or MSNBC had said check this out. 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: No one, come on now. Nobody wanted this story. Nobody 87 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: understood what this story was. Nobody wanted to dig deeper 88 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: to find out how these places were getting all of 89 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: this money and no students, and tell tell everybody, hey, 90 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: where are these students? 91 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: Where are these children? That's very odd to me. 92 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: It's very odd that you would want to keep that 93 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: story hidden. Maybe it has something to do with a 94 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: vice presidential candidate by the name of Tim Walls, who 95 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: also happens to be the governor, and nobody wanted the 96 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: world to come crashing down on his head. We needed him, 97 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: you know what they told us we needed from Tim 98 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: Wall's Democrats said, well, see he can code talk, he 99 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: could talk to white guys. Sure, sure he can. Because 100 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 2: when Tim Walls talks, I'm like, that's just an everyday 101 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: American right there. 102 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: That's exactly how. 103 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: They talk, and how they act, and how they walk 104 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: on stage, how they wave. You didn't want to talk 105 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: about this story because well, for four years under Joe 106 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: Biden and it got worse, and because under Tim Walls 107 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: it was getting worse, and you didn't want to embarrass 108 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: the guy because you want to trump out so badly. 109 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: If this goes back to twenty fourteen, of not earlier, 110 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: this happened under four years of Trump as well, and 111 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: under years of Obama. This fraud, this waste, this abuse, 112 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: this manipulation of the American people, this treating them like 113 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: absolute trash and garbage. 114 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you want to report on that immediately? 115 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: Isn't anything left that's bigger than our politics. 116 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: Anything at all? 117 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: Isn't there anything that we have left in our society 118 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: that transcends the Republican versus Democrat, conservative versus liberal mindset 119 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: and says this simply won't do anything. We're ripping off 120 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: the American people claiming to feed children. If they're not 121 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: getting fed, well, where are they getting fed? If they're 122 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: stealing from the taxpayer. 123 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't we want to say so. 124 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: Don't tell me that I have to have some kind 125 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: of vaunted respect for the reporter if the reporter's. 126 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: Not out there doing the job, or of newsroom said. 127 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: Nah, that's not a real story, just like NPR wanted 128 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: to tell me that Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't a real story. 129 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: Don't tell me I have to have respect for NPR. 130 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: I don't care if you get fired. I don't care 131 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: if you go out of business. I don't care if 132 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: you can't pay your mortgage. Get out there in the 133 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: real world and compete for the listeners, the viewers, and 134 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: the sponsorship dollars like I do no handouts. No handouts, 135 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: by the way, is a pretty American philosophy. Look what 136 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: was happening here? Come the media now goes after this 137 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: guy Nick Shirley. They go after him personally, they go 138 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: after him professionally.

I didn't 196 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 2: say throw out every Somali national.

Seems like every day we. 210 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 2: Are subjected to another ridiculous critique. 211 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 5: This visit, Prime Minister Natania even announced and surprise a 212 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 5: lot of us, that he would make President Trump the 213 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 5: first non Israeli recipient of the Israel Prize for Peace. 214 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 5: I'm curious what you made of that moment and why 215 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: it matters for the US position in the Middle East. 216 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 6: Well, we live in an age of kings now in 217 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 6: the United States wolf where the first thing every foreign 218 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 6: leader understands that he must bring tribute to the king, 219 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 6: like in medieval times. And for BB, getting the government 220 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 6: to agree to give Trump the Israel Prize was his 221 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: latest form of tribute. 222 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: That's Tomas Friedman. I'm Tony Katz. The show is Tony 223 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: Katz today. You look fantastic and I love you deeply. Uh. 224 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: Thomas Friedman seems to have a very very short term memory. Now, 225 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: I won't disagree that there's a lot of puffery when 226 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 2: it comes to Trump, and Trump likes accolades. We're not 227 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: going to pretend that he doesn't. That would be crazy. 228 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: But Barack Obama was president for an hour and a 229 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: half and they gave him the Peace Prize for what. 230 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: He might do. 231 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: There was no question, no conversation, no discussion of oh, 232 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: treating Barack Obama like a king and bringing him his tribute. 233 00:14:51,040 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened. It's exactly what the celebrit party 234 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: class did. The celebrity class went out there and made 235 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: videos how they were going to declare their loyalty for 236 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: Barack Obama. You know, weird that is, That's super weird. 237 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: You know, I find it weird when people do that 238 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: with Trump as well. My loyalty is to the Constitution, 239 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: to the country. Residents come and go. The same reason 240 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: I don't celebrate President's Day. You want me to celebrate 241 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: Woodrow Wilson, Haha, Pooky, No, no, no. 242 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: It's it's like family guy. We need more lemon pledge. No, No, 243 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 3: not doing that. You gotta be out of your mind 244 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: stupid to do that. 245 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: So one can argue this, but one cannot argue it 246 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: in a vacuum. 247 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: And that's the worst part. I don't know. 248 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: You know, some some times I find myself the show 249 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: becomes gets a theme like I don't know. I find 250 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: a story, and then I find another story, and I'm like, Okay, 251 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: here's how these stories connect, and and then I connected 252 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: to other things. See how these things come together and 253 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: how they move and how they flow. I don't mean 254 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: to do it. I think it's just part of my 255 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: natural my natural way. Everyone's got their own style, right, 256 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: You got your own style. 257 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: I got mine. This is the way I very often 258 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: do it. 259 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: I'm exhausted by the living in the vacuum, like it's 260 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: only this thing is happening and no other thing ever happened. 261 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: You know. 262 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: We go back to the whole story about Minnesota, which 263 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: we'll get into even more. I don't think this is 264 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: the only instance of fraud. The question is why wouldn't 265 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: you want to cover it? It's a huge, huge story. 266 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: Better to bash this guy, Nick Shirley than to recognize 267 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: that there's an issue. 268 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: Do you know how crazy that is? 269 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: If you think it's wrong to treat presidents like kings. 270 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 3: I will agree with you. 271 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: If you didn't notice what they did to Barack Obama 272 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: in the same exact way. Well, then we can't have 273 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 2: a conversation. Now, you say to me, Tony, that's what 274 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: about is. I didn't say you couldn't have a conversation 275 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 2: about Trump and this idea of just being doted on 276 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: and this idea of loyalty and Fieldy. I've stated on 277 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: this show that I think Pam Bondi is ridiculous. Now 278 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: I haven't stated it like the South Park guys have 279 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: stated it, which is. 280 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 3: Very on the nose. If you've watched any of the 281 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 3: any of the episodes, as producer land and laughs, it is. 282 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 3: It's silly. It is absolutely positively silly. 283 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: I want no part of it, but I'm not going 284 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: to live with it in a vacuum. But the larger 285 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: scale story here is why wouldn't you give Trump a prize? 286 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 2: Look what he did, and look what Joe Biden didn't do, 287 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 2: and look what Barack Obama didn't do. Can we discuss 288 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: these things like rational people in true comparison? Your problem, 289 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: Tom Freeman Tom Freeman Lexus in The Olive Tree, amongst 290 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: his other books. Your fundamental flaw is you can't accept 291 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: the fact that Trump may have done something good in 292 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: the same exact way we notice how we connect the 293 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: dots that the left can't accept the fact that somebody 294 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: who isn't them did the reporting that blew up this 295 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: scandal regarding Minnesota, which was already growing because of the 296 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: reporting by City Journal. 297 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: It wasn't U CNN, and it wasn't you New York Times. 298 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: It was some guy with a video camera and a 299 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: willingness to hire security guards and walk into the scary building. 300 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: Trump is the guy trying to get some peace. 301 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: Deals brought us the Abraham Accords, has done more to 302 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: bring about a safe and stable Middle East than any 303 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 2: other president. Why not say so Israel Prize is the 304 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: least of the things he should get. You could still 305 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: hate him, but be like that was well done. But no, 306 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: you can't, can you?
