You have Sam 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: and the Master control booth next door. Let's go here 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app. 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: There's two positions that a person should never aspire to. 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: Okay number one, Captain of the Titanic. Okay, number two, 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: leader of Iran's. 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: Very true roster. It makes a very good point. The 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: ietole Comane's son has been chosen as a new Supreme 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: leader currently now under bombing watch, would not want that. 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Gig Ron Hubbard, who builds bunkers designed to help people 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: survive everything from drone attacks to nuclear armageddon, said he 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: has been inundated with calls since the US launched its 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: attack on Iran. Hubbard, who lives in Texas, told the 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Telegraph that two senior Cabinet members and the Trump Administration 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: are among his clients. One of them texted me yesterday 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: asking me when will my bunker be ready. We at 24 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the price that he's constructing these things from five million 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: to and I had to look this up five million 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: to twenty thousand dollars. But the way that they describe 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: one of these, I'd never heard this terminology before. I'll 28 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: share this with you in just a moment here on 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: the show. Hubbard's firm opened up new offices in Dubai 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: two days before Iran launched missiles toward the city. He 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: told the British newspaper that two billionaires who lived in 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates city immediately reached out. I wouldn't 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: call it lucky, but I would call it good timing 34 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: for them. So he constructs hundreds of these bunkers a year, again, 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: ranging from five million underground compounds to small pre cast 36 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: bolt holes costing twenty thousand dollars. I had never heard 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: of that term before. Both holes is one word bolt 38 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: h l e s. It's a place where a person 39 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: can hide. So like my house, like like my my basement, 40 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: office bedroom is a is a bolthole. You beat me too, 41 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: You could hide down there, surrounded by all my Star 42 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Wars toys, a collection with grew which grew entirely too 43 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: much over the weekend. The shelters can be equipped with 44 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: things like movie theaters, to swimming pools and a gun range. 45 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Atlas average is about two million a month in bunker sales. 46 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: Hubbard predicts they could rise to about fifty million dollars 47 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: a month now. He describes himself as a devout Christian. 48 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: Told the Telegraph that he believes the end times are approaching. 49 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: He started at less than twenty eleven after his previous 50 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: iron door manufacturing business went to bust amid Chinese competition. 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: His business expanded during the COVID nineteen pandemic, which caused 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: a worldwide uncertainty. Hubbard told the Telegraph he's worked with 53 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: several billionaires, including medicineo Mark Zuckerberg, and said he has 54 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: met with other tech moguls. He described his bunkers as 55 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: doing nothing with my fingers, super fun. Okay, I always 56 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: say I put lipstick on a pig. He describes his 57 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: bunkers as medicine wrapped in a bow. I don't have 58 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: any desires, I don't covet well. If I'm in for 59 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the right reasons. I'm doing it to save to save lives. 60 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: So there you go. If you yourself have a bunker 61 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: or a bold house, draw mea comment on the iHeartRadio app. 62 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: I would be genuinely curious about that. I got an 63 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: email that rolled in. John writes this. John, He says, 64 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm calling Trump's hat a golf doing that thing with 65 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: my palms versus baseball. I'm calling it a golf versus 66 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: baseball hat because the guy basically lives on his golf courses. 67 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: Is that even a I mean, is that an argument 68 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: that gets used very often against Trump anymore? I know 69 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: it was for a while. I'm just wondering if that 70 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: was still Is that still was something that gets complained about. 71 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: He goes on to say, at the end of a round, 72 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: it's traditional for all golfers in a group to remove 73 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: their hat and acknowledge each other. All right, I was 74 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: not aware of that. Not removing a hat on a 75 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: golf course is not a huge social blunder. At a SARAHM. 76 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Tony honoring fallen soldiers, the chief needs to lose that 77 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: blanking lid. What a disgrace, says John from Falcon. I 78 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I say that if you're an if 79 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: you're a rabbit anti Trumper and you're complaining about his 80 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: time on the golf course and wearing a hat, I'm 81 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: going to imagine Trump's doing a pretty good job. 82 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: That's all you got, Hey, John, looking forward to the 83 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: conversation with Ron Hubbard and his experience on the Happy 84 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: Days and his experience with Fonds and his interactions with 85 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: all of the game. Of course, know that's Ron Howard 86 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: I'm talking about. But that's who I think of whenever 87 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: I hear l Ron Hubbard. Ron Hubbard, whoever got a play? 88 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: You know what? 89 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: You you were going to get the rim shot, but 90 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: now you're getting Yeah, you're getting. Yeah, You're you're you're 91 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: the you're the winner of that award. It's it's worthy. 92 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: Quite the adventure. 93 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: He went on. 94 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Just then. I was interesting, Hey, John, I don't buy 95 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: the bunker. 96 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: Value. I think it's just a waste of money. You're 97 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: better off learning how to survive out the wilderness. 98 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: See, I'd go the bunker route before learning how to 99 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: survive in the wilderness. Personally, we should come as a 100 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: shock to absolutely nobody whatsoever. Then I would much prefer 101 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: to have a bunker then to learn how to go 102 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: and live off the live off the land. My eldest 103 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: logan completely different ballgame. He definitely would be a living 104 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: off the off the land. But I've watched the episode 105 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: with Michael Scott where he tried to go out and 106 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: do survivor man enough times to know that I would 107 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: probably end up like he did in that episode if 108 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: I were to attempt that, Sam, a bunker or living 109 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: off the wilderness for you, yeah, my choice, Yeah, I'd 110 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: probably go bunkers, no bunker. 111 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 112 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 6: Okay, by the way, did you mean to do the 113 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 6: pun last hour when you previewed this story, because if 114 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 6: you did your genius what was it you said that 115 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 6: for a certain I remember how you said it, but 116 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 6: just said business is booming. 117 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: Totally totally meant to do that, right, Was I absolutely 118 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: one hundred meant to do that? Put Oh hell yeah, 119 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: you said it so fast I can get a chance 120 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: to jump out. That was I thought. I thought about 121 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: it long and hard. I work shopped at for a 122 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: while before I started the show this morning. That was 123 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent intentional. That was not just not half 124 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: of stance whatsoever. Okay, good morning, John, Sam. 125 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 7: I always chuckle when I hear about the doomsday preppers 126 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 7: and their need to build bunkers and stock up all 127 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 7: this food in their basements. That works great until the 128 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 7: bad guys show up and they kill you and take 129 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 7: all your stuff, And that's what will happen. 130 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Watch the movie The Road and you'll. 131 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 7: Understand why it's best to just move on to heaven 132 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 7: and not stick around on this planet. 133 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: If there's an apocalypse, well, you need to have a 134 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: larger game plan. Right, it's not going to be enough 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: to just have the bunker, because if the idea would 136 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: be you're in the bunker, you're secured one. You know, 137 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: if the zombie apocalypse breaks out, the zombies don't know 138 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: you're down there, so you can wait it out for 139 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: a while, right, assuming the zombies die off or whatever 140 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: apocalyptic scenario you're looking at. But at the same time, 141 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: eventually you do need to come out. You need to 142 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: be able to prepare with whatever a post World War 143 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: two society looks like. So you better have a game plan, which, 144 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: in this case, going back to what we were talking 145 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: about a moment ago, probably a good idea to know 146 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: both have the bunker, but also the survivor wilderness skills 147 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: as well. So as always got great to hear from you. 148 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's go here. Speaking of Trump 149 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: golf courses, hats and never trumpers, the IRS and the 150 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Department of Treasury did release their series of rules regarding 151 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: eligibility and procedures for Trump accounts.

In February, percent said about two million forms 175 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: for three million children have been filled for the Trump accounts. 176 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: According to CNBC, they'll beginning a big jump on life. 177 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump said last year of the babies benefiting 178 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: from the accounts, and it's essentially another tax break incentive. 179 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. I'm absolutely okay with a 180 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: tax break for newborns. And we need newborns in this 181 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: country right now, especially new boorns that are being born 182 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: to families that support President Donald Trump. I think that's 183 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: important too. Now, I also support this as being a 184 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: tax incentive, especially when you consider the amount of money 185 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: that was wasted by the Biden administration when you go 186 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: back to the start of Trump's second term, the pushback 187 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: on USA I d There was a congressional hearing last 188 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: week that was going over the money that was spent 189 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: on DEI diversity programs within the Biden administration, and they 190 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: had a former assistant to President Joe Biden that was testifying, 191 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna what you're gonna hear? Here 192 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: is this representative Brian mast talking with this former assistant 193 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: to President Joe Biden regarding maps, how they were trying 194 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: to change maps, the money that was spent on maps, 195 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: but more specifically, how they were trying to make the 196 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: maps more gay. Can you tell me what is queering 197 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: the map? 198 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 8: So I think we were trying to make the maps 199 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 8: more gay. 200 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: Literally, well, how do you make a I mean, especially 201 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: for jay. 202 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 8: You know, since the age of cartography, we've had pretty 203 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 8: good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough. 204 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: So I know. 205 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 8: Also, I took critical theory in college. I think sometimes 206 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 8: people use queer as a verb. I do understand that 207 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 8: the maps that we were trying to make gay were 208 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 8: I think of Chuchia and Slovakia, So maybe those countries 209 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 8: asked for it. 210 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: I doubt it, but I don't know. 211 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 9: We do have real things to work on in Congress, 212 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 9: like what's going on with the imminent threat of Iran 213 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 9: and It is embarrassing that we have to talk about 214 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 9: the fact that things like this were funded. Non binary 215 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 9: and trans Francophones, linguistic attitudes and ideologies towards inclusive French 216 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 9: in Montreal, Canada. 217 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: These things. I'm going to give you a list. My 218 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: time is expired. 219 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 9: I'm going to give you a list of these and 220 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 9: any of these that you can provide me the receipt 221 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 9: for the Facebook link to where they wanted to take 222 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 9: photos of how they were doing a Deia flash mob 223 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 9: in Kregastan, you know, whatever documentation they have of all 224 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 9: of these things. We would love to see that and 225 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 9: would absolutely love to know the individual's specific that we're 226 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 9: busy writing these grants because they have no business receiving 227 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 9: another paycheck from the people of the United States of America. 228 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 9: In that I will recognize Representative Schneider. 229 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: In completely unrelated news to this, Disney apparently was working 230 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: on yet another updated version of Alice in Wonderland. It's 231 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: been shelved. I did get a copy of the script. However, 232 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: it's a good thing it was shelved because the famous 233 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: We're painting the roses red moment from Alice in Wonderland 234 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: was being turned into or making the maps more gay. 235 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I should leave it to the listeners to make 236 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: the jokes this morning. Perhaps that's perhaps that's a good idea. 237 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: There's your podcast to two title. By the way, how 238 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: do you make a map more gay? Just gonna throw 239 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: that out there. Well, crash me up about that clip. 240 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: By the way, it's just how how serious the woman 241 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: that was being interview was. I think we were. I 242 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: think what we were trying to do is I think 243 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: we were trying to make the maps gay. Can you 244 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: tell me, uh, what is queering the map? 245 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 8: So I think we were trying to make the maps 246 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 8: more gay. 247 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: I just. 248 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: That's not AI.

Nearly one third of 266 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: the nation's private sector workers are now covered by paid 267 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: leave programs as more states require employers to provide medical 268 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: and family leave. According to new analysis released this week, 269 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: I could maybe see all of this if we could 270 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: disconnect your health insurance from your employer. Go and purchase 271 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: your health insurance the same way that you do your 272 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: auto insurance. You want to drive down crisis, that's how 273 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: you do it, And then you can come and talk 274 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: to me about taking money out of every single paycheck 275 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: for this paid family medical leave. When you look at 276 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the states that are doing this, it is no surprise whatsoever. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, 277 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: main Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, 278 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: and Washington. Those states have pass laws requiring paid leave 279 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: for many workers. You know, you could already take time 280 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: off just we've covered this before. The programs vary in design, 281 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: but generally guarantee paychecks while workers take time off for 282 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: illness or to care for a child or other loved one. 283 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: They're funded through the employer and employee premium, similar to 284 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: unemployment insurance or payroll taxes that occur that cover excuse me, 285 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: a portion of the employee wages when they take leave. 286 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: We were visiting with some friends over the weekend and 287 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: one of the individuals, the son of one of the 288 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: individuals we were hanging out with, was mentioning, how, yeah, 289 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: you can see it right there on your paycheck. They 290 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: do not hide it like a glaring beacon to frustrate 291 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: you when you get paid the amount of money being 292 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: taken from your check every single month. And like I said, 293 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: for many individuals that will not go and take advantage 294 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: of this program because one they don't need to, or 295 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: two they're not going to put their employer through it. 296 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: The reports site's research showing multi state employers often respond 297 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: to local paid sick leave laws by providing a paid 298 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: sick leave to their workers, even in places without such requirements. 299 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: Opponents frequently cite the cost of the paid leave programs 300 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: and the burdens they place on businesses. Last month, Virginia 301 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: Republican state delegate Michael Wiebert said large corporations may be 302 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: able to afford the cost and administrative burdens, but not 303 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: smaller employers. The impact will not fall evenly, he said 304 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: ahead of a House vote last month. List none of 305 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: this is a surprise. It's a socialist redistribution of wealth program. 306 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: It discourages working, it supports the Marxist views of the 307 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 1: individuals that pedal this garbage, creates arguments to use against 308 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: the GOP, and it's decidedly anti business. Oh but don't 309 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: worry though, guys, because according to representatives here in Minnesota, 310 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: like Sondrifist, you know, if you're a small business owner 311 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: and you have to go and recoup the costs, you know, 312 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: the impact isn't that big of a isn't that big 313 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: of a deal. 314 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 10: I also wanted to just make a comment on the 315 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 10: paid family medical leave. I am a small business owner 316 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 10: and you know, if we have to observe cost and 317 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 10: so far it hasn't really had an impact. But to 318 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 10: the extent we do, like the impact is like maybe 319 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 10: I can't buy more fancy shoes. 320 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: Oh see, you won't be able to buy more fancy shoes. 321 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: It's not a big deal, says Representative Sondrafised, who's an 322 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: immigration attorney just as a side note, has been a 323 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: staunch supporter of the sanctuary laws to which her business 324 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: could go and benefit from. You know, if we have 325 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: to absorb costs. As a small business owner myself, I mean, 326 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: maybe I won't be able to buy fancy shoes. So 327 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: what's the big deal? I just no shame whatsoever. Right, 328 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: Their sympathies are moving targets depending on how much political 329 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: capital that they can gain from their arguments. The Department 330 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: of Employment and Economic Development says forty five thousand applications 331 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: have been submitted since the law went into effect at 332 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: the beginning of twenty twenty six. I'll share with you 333 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: some more points as the state is now offering tips 334 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: just to make sure that as many people as possible 335 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: can go and take advantage of this program. Wherein the 336 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: state of Minnesota, already admitted within the first month that 337 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: fraud was showing up.

I'm a small business owner, and 352 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 10: you know, if we have to absorb cost, and so 353 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 10: far it hasn't really had an impact, but to the 354 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 10: extent we do, Like the impact is like maybe I 355 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 10: can't buy more fancy shoes. 356 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, like maybe she won't be able to like buy 357 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: my like more like fancy like shoes. I wonder she'll 358 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: still be able to afford her bob haircut and the 359 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: red streaks that she puts in unless she's doing that 360 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: on her own, and that's possible. If you haven't seen 361 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: Representative Sondra Fie, she does. She has a very distinct 362 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: haircut with dark hair and red streaks in it. That's right, 363 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to your iHeartRadio app talk backs brought to 364 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: you by Lindall Rialty. 365 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 11: As a small business owner, I'm not interested in buying 366 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 11: fancy shoes. I'm more interested in finding a temporary worker 367 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 11: to make sure the job still gets done. That's willing 368 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 11: to just leave in twelve weeks so I don't have 369 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 11: to pay them both family medical leaves. 370 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development DEED overseeing 371 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: the state's new paid lead program, says it's working like 372 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: it should. Oh, I bet it is. Carol Levin reported 373 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: some problems with people, including delays and processing their applications 374 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: and other red tape. Ashley Anderson, who applied for the 375 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: program nine weeks ago, says she hasn't received a payment yet. 376 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: We've been going through savings and I had to apply 377 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: for the tax money early because we needed the money 378 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: to pay bills. Anderson is taking medical leave to recover 379 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: from brain surgery that she had in December. She expected 380 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: to return to work at the beginning of February, but 381 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: continues to have side effects, including swelling and vision problems. 382 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: Democrat Senator Alice Man, who authored the legislation, says forty 383 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: seven thousand people have applied for the program. It gives 384 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: the workers up to twenty weeks off every year for 385 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: medical and family issues. That is so much time. It's ridiculous. 386 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: It's so it is so decent as sent advising for 387 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: individuals who work so ripe for scam. Republicans, of course, 388 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: have criticized the new wage tax that it funds. The 389 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: premium is paid for by employers and employees, which small 390 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: businesses says a burden. GOP Representative Jeff Becker has proposed 391 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: allowing employers to opt in or out. Yeah, that would 392 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: be great. Senator Man, however, says, for the people who 393 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: are saying let's dismantle it, let's make sure people can 394 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: opt out. Well, if people can opt out, then there's 395 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: no program. The purpose of the program is to include everybody, 396 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: but not everybody is going to use it, so you're 397 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: basically admitting it's a redistribution of wealth a deed. A 398 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 1: Deputy Commissioner Evan Rowe also says people can apply up 399 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: to sixty days in advance and retroactively. How far back 400 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: can you go? It is really important that Minnesotas know 401 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: that we are being very careful stewards of this program. Okay, 402 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: I've got beachfront property in Blaine, if you believe that one. 403 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: I'm talking about action actual ocean beachfront property, not like 404 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: ten thousand lakes front beachfront property there. Ross ten thousand 405 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: applications have also been denied. Seventeen thousand are still pending. 406 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: What did all these individuals do before? I wonder how 407 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: did they ever get by needing to take time off 408 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: prior to paid family medical leave? Yeah, the same way 409 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: that they oh did through what the employer offered already. 410 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 12: I wonder if Centrifie cares that one of my patients, uh, 411 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 12: her caregiver, who she's supposed to have five days a week, 412 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 12: is out on paid family leave, so she doesn't have 413 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 12: anyone there daily to help her prepare meals, wash up 414 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 12: things like that, and she can't the company can't hire 415 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 12: anymore because DHS is still on a hiring freeze because 416 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 12: of all the fraud in the caregiver program. So wonder 417 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 12: if that bothers sandrifice at all. 418 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: Of course not, of course not. They don't care what 419 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: happens to the businesses. That's intentional. It is decidedly anti business. 420 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. That's obviously not a pushback 421 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: on on you. No, you're absolutely right. I wonder if 422 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: they do care. No, of course they don't care. They'll 423 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: just say, well, you know what, it's just part. It's 424 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: just part of what comes with the program. It's surprise 425 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: that we must pay to make sure that people have 426 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: the opportunity to take this extended time off and to 427 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: make sure that they always vote for Democrats when the 428 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: time comes. I have no idea what. 429 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 13: That Red Streak representative does for a small business or 430 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 13: what she owns, but I would bet a lot of 431 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 13: money that it has something to do with the government 432 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 13: at some level. 433 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: Just my two cents. 434 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: Well, I do know she's an immigration attorney. I don't 435 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: know if for small businesses that's what she's referring to, 436 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: but she is an immigration attorney. 437 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 14: What happens when the person that you hire to replace 438 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 14: the person paid to family medical lead also get accepted 439 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 14: to go on paid family medical lead. Now you hire 440 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 14: to hire a third person. 441 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: Yep. And what happens when. 442 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 14: They go on paid family medical Lead? 443 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, nope, that's exactly what has to happen. They have 444 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: to continue to find individuals to go and cover for 445 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: the people that they now have have to go and 446 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: help pay for their time off along with the employees 447 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: paying into it. And I understand the argument. I mean, 448 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: I've heard from friends of the show who have said, 449 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: you know what, I've got to take this time off 450 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: coming up, and I'm going to take advantage of this program. 451 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: And of course you are. Why wouldn't you You're paying 452 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: into it. But for a party that always wants to 453 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: talk about the chilling effect that the world has on 454 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: individuals driven so much by emotions and feelings, of course 455 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: they completely ignore what happens to the individual who basically 456 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: has to watch their money go up and smoke that 457 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: they earned make less year over year if they haven't 458 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: received a raise, because they're not going to be able 459 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: to go and utilize this program. No, there is no 460 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: accounting for those individuals because those on the left don't 461 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: care because they that those people are not going to 462 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: be going and voting for them anyhow, so it doesn't matter. 463 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: Morning John is Stephen Pridley. Hey, what if you're the 464 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: fancy shoe salesman. You just took money out of my pocket? 465 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: Now how do I pay my employees? 466 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: That's a very good point, Steve. Thank you so much 467 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: for the talkback this morning on the iHeartRadio app. You 468 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 1: talk Back of the day, by the way, coming up 469 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: at a thirty this morning, brought to you by Mini 470 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: Leaf and minileaf dot com. Good morning, John. 471 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 15: I thought I read an article who all ago that 472 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 15: said a lot of the Miniapolish Police Department are the 473 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 15: police officers we're trying to take a family medical leave 474 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 15: right away? 475 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Yep, I read that too. 476 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 15: It seems like if that's true, they don't really want 477 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 15: to work for the current administration in Mineapolis. 478 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: That a great morning. Nope, And why would they. I 479 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: don't begrudge anybody that's going to go and take advantage 480 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: of this program. You're paying into it. I get it, 481 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: but it doesn't make the program right. The Democrats found 482 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: a way to go and redistribute the wealth to push 483 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: forward to their ideologies and beliefs to create arguments against 484 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: Republicans and adopted this in as many states as they 485 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: as they can. But just wait, wait until the timeline 486 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: is long enough where we can go back and look 487 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: at this program, and you will see the amount of 488 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: fraud that is going to occur in this program. It's 489 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: it's already happening. In the meantime, you're just going to 490 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 1: end up making less money. All right, we'll get back 491 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: to more of your talkbacks here in just a moment. 492 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: I do want to get into the legislative session. A 493 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: proposed bill would require new drivers twenty one under to 494 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: take drivers out before getting a license. But before we 495 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: go there, let's talk about this. From the Minnesota Start Tribune, 496 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services is borrowing a page 497 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: from the Minnesota Department of Transportation playbook. They are holding 498 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: a contest asking callers to pick the music they want 499 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: to hear when placed on hold.

Isaac he suggested updating road 636 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: designs in higher traffic areas might do a better job 637 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: of keeping drivers.
