There are plenty of people there 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 5: that are very disappointed about what's going on, and I 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 5: would encourage those people to speak up publicly too, because 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 5: I think that would mean a lot. 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 4: One hundred percent, I completely agree. 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 3: And just like we had voices during the election of 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: the Somali community coming out in support of Donald Trump, 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: and we've heard, I haven't seen anything tangible relating to this. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: This is just what I've told, what I've been told 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: from different sources. Individuals in politics that follow closely to 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: what happens in Minneapolis, independently of each other, tell me 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 3: that there are factions within the Somali community that led 34 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: to the divisions that ushered in Minneapolis man maybe may 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: Or Mom Jeans, Jacob Fry getting another term as governor 36 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: and Omar Fate losing because there was there was a 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: group of faction ory ring of the Somali community that 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: was in support of Fry and another group that was 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: in support of of Omar fat And so what I 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: hope to see is, like we saw in the election, 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: that those individuals within the Somali community that are just 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: as outrage as what is going on, I hope that 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: they can feel confident and are brave enough to step 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: up and to speak about what's going on, because that's 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: the conversation at this point we need to have because 46 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: a lot of people are asking why is this specific 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: to this particular community, wherein we're not having the same 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: issues relating to other communities. And there's there's a lot 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: to unpack there with where they're coming from in Somalia, 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: what life is like there, what the culture is like there, 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: the lack of assimilation here into the United States to 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: the Twin Cities into Minnesota, and those are the tough 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: conversations that we need to continue to have as we 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: tackle this problem of fraud here in Minnesota. 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: Certainly, and if you go back to what we saw 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty, there were people from within that community 57 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 5: also talking about how they felt that certain members were 58 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 5: taking advantage of other people within the community when it 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 5: comes to things like ballad harvesting, going door to door 60 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 5: and telling people, hey, give me your vote, and doing 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 5: kind of you know, corrupt things that maybe they were 62 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: really taking advantage of these people. So there's that aspect 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 5: too that I think adds to the nuance in that conversation. 64 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: Got a couple of comments here relating to these things 65 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: called gingerbread houses. We were asking last hour in the 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: midst of a Freedom Friday covering all our bases today 67 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: during the holiday season, whether or not you're supposed to 68 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: eat a gingerbread house, because I was just I was 69 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: curious watching a baking show because there's no eating component 70 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: of the competition, so I thought. 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: That was odd. Don't some people make gingerbread houses with 72 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: real glue? 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 6: Isn't that why you're not supposed to eat them? 74 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: I was under the impressions of those are the ones 75 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: you absolutely want to eat? Were the ones made with 76 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: like Elmer's wood glue? 77 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 5: John was the glueseniffer in class. 78 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: Is that what I'm hearing? 79 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 7: No? 80 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: I was the one who covered my hand in Elmer's 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: wood glue and I'm forward to dry and. 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: Then oh, look, impeeling me skin up. It's a if 83 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: you can looking to see my fingerprints. 84 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 5: And now thousands of people across the state trust you 85 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 5: for their advice. 86 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 4: That's on that and the news on them. Can you 87 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 4: trust me for anything or believe anything I say? That 88 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: is on you? Hey, John? 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 8: On the gingerbread house, I would always wait for the 90 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 8: kids to forget about it after sitting there for a month. 91 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 8: Then I'd soak it in a bunch of milk, watch 92 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 8: a good movie. 93 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: I eat the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, listen, Yeah, Oh, 94 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: I'm down with that. So soggy gingerbread is your response. 95 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 3: That's a great idea. If Linda makes one this year, 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: I think what's going to happen is she's probably listening, 97 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: but I'm giving I'm giving this all away. But she 98 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: makes a gingerbread house, right, it's time to get rid 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: of it. Oh honey, I'll take care of. 100 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: It for you. I'll throw it out. Don't get it in milk. Yeah, 101 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: just just just soak it, soak it in milk. That's 102 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 4: the worst city of yet. 103 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: It's a fantastic idea. I used to back during the 104 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: dark days, I would go and get a I've told 105 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: the story before, but it's been a long time and 106 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: you've probably never heard of Catherine Sam. I don't think 107 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: you've probably heard this before you heard my ding dong. 108 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: Sorry nope. 109 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: Okay, So we'll get back to more of your relevant 110 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: talkbacks here in a minute. So I used to get 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: ding dongs, and then what I would do is, because. 112 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 4: You know, so you have describe it ding dong. Okay, 113 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 4: So a ding dong. 114 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: Ding dongs are the in the center, is the white, 115 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 3: creamy filling, and then it's then it's a then it's 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: a chocolate cake looks like a hockey puck. 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: Squiggly lines. 118 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: No, no, not in not in the regular ding dong. Okay, 119 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: you're you're close, but no, the regular ding dongs are 120 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 3: just osed ding dong and then they're covered in a 121 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: semi hard chocolate shell. Okay, and they look like a 122 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: hockey puck, right that. 123 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 4: I get that? You agree there? Sam? Okay, Catherine, do 124 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 4: you know what a Swiss cake roll is? Yes? So 125 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: it's it's like it's the outside crust of kind of 126 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: like a Swiss cake role. I feel like there's a 127 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 4: squiggly line. There's no squiggly line. 128 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: There are some that you can buy in the store separately, 129 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: but I don't think those are specifically ding dongs because 130 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: I think they have an extra layer of frosting on 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: top along with the squiggly line. 132 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Oh. 133 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: So these usually come in a package and they're in 134 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: like a silver tinfoil. 135 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: Okay, So I get a box of these, and. 136 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 3: I get milk, and then what I would do is 137 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: I'd bite just a little teeny portion of the outer 138 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 3: shell off and then I would dunk the ding dong 139 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,119 Speaker 3: into the milk. 140 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: I would allow the milk. 141 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: To soak up into the cake so that it's now 142 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: encapsulated because of the hard outer shell, and then I would. 143 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 4: Go and proceed to eat it. It was very messy. 144 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 3: I was by my I was I was living alone 145 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: in an apartment by myself when this took place. Just 146 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: wanted to point that out. And yes, you come to 147 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: me for your news every single day. 148 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: That's right. M m hey John. 149 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 8: On the gingerbread house, I would always wait for the 150 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 8: kids to forget about it. 151 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: Oh no, we already heard from that guy. 152 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 9: Sorry, Hey, good morning, guys.

But 154 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 9: when I was younger, they were always made out of 155 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 9: what I would call table candy. My grandma had it 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 9: in bowls on the counters and it sat there forever. 157 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 9: I think the issue is we started changing and adding 158 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 9: what we put on them. And then also everybody decides 159 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 9: it's time to decorate for Christmas fifteen minutes after they 160 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 9: take their Halloween costume off. 161 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 4: So it's stale and young, all right. 162 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: So we're gonna get back to more of your comments 163 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: coming up.

And I would say this, I believe that 240 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 11: we're made by God as individuals. But if you are 241 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 11: going to be immersed in a culture okay, meaning that 242 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 11: you live in neighborhoods that are ethnically very similar to yours, 243 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 11: I think you then take a responsibility to have to 244 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 11: call out the community that you associate with in the 245 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 11: same way that I live in Forest Lake. And if 246 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 11: Forest Lake started passing some crazy rules and regulations and 247 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 11: I want to call myself a forest Laker, I need 248 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 11: to stand up and I need to call out the 249 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 11: things that are happening within my community. And I think 250 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 11: that the same type of thing has to happen within 251 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 11: the Somala community. And it's not that you have to 252 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 11: I mean, listen, you could go and move out to 253 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 11: Forest Lake if you're Somali and say I'm just going 254 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 11: to adopt the forest Lake lifestyle, then you don't have 255 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 11: to say anything because it ain't your community anymore. I 256 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 11: just think that that's just a responsibility that falls good, badter, 257 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 11: and different. But I just one last piece real quick 258 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 11: about the gingerbread cookies and the ginger bread houses using 259 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 11: gram crackers.

And then there's consumers. 516 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 14: What's the impact on the consumer going to be in 517 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 14: terms of what they expect in terms of value from 518 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 14: the businesses that they're engaging with. When you take the 519 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 14: operation and you flip the game board and let the 520 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 14: pieces go flying everywhere. 521 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 11: The thing, the thing is that I look at in 522 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 11: order for programs like this to actually operate, there is 523 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 11: a high level of trust that has to exist within 524 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 11: the society that you are implementing a benefit program like this. 525 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 11: We have proven that the amount of trust that we 526 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 11: have is low. And I think that the unintended consequence, 527 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 11: and some people would argue intended consequence is that you 528 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 11: will now see people that say, you know what, I've 529 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 11: tried to live my life above board, but what's the 530 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 11: point That's why should I even try anymore? And I 531 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 11: think that you will see a catastrophic, cascading failure to 532 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 11: the point that the back end is going to be 533 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 11: pushing universal basic income, like they're going to say, like 534 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 11: in order to take care of the people. Because listen, 535 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 11: if you tell the job you can't replace me long term, 536 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 11: and then you try and have a temporary worker to 537 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 11: cover the weeks that that person's out for and then 538 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 11: your bottom line suffer, so you just have to go 539 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 11: out of business, and we start to see unemployment shoot 540 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 11: through the roof. Then the counter to that's gonna be like, oh, well, 541 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 11: we still have to have something in place. And I 542 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 11: think that that's kind of the deeper play at all 543 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 11: of this is like, let's completely destroy and get the 544 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 11: business community so we can push our far leftist Marxist 545 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 11: belief system. 546 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 15: Yeah. 547 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 16: I mean it's just a peak power play from the left, 548 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 16: like they have an insistence on regulating every single interaction 549 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 16: between individuals. I work out a small nonprofit. We got 550 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 16: our first person ever a few years back who got 551 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 16: pregnant and needed maternity leave. They worked it out amongst 552 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 16: themselves because they did what was best for our small organization, 553 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,239 Speaker 16: and every person thereafter that's had the same situation they 554 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 16: worked out amongst themselves. 555 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 4: That's not acceptable for Governor Walls. 556 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 5: He needs to be involved in those negotiations moving forward. 557 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: What was the impetus? Where did this start from? I mean, 558 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 3: Walls is out there talking of Blanke and just just 559 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 3: uplay the quick clip here. 560 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 12: And one of the things is that has been missing 561 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 12: in America is what happens if you have a child, 562 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 12: how do you take time away and how do you 563 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 12: bond with that child, which we know all the research 564 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 12: shows how big a difference that makes. Or what happens 565 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 12: if you've got a family member that's sick. My family's 566 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 12: going through that right now with a mother in law. 567 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 12: Or what happens if you yourself have an illness and 568 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 12: have to be uh either through treatments or hospitalized. 569 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: The choice in the past was. 570 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 12: Lose your job or go broke, or care for yourself. 571 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 14: You know, it's it's amazing to me the way that 572 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 14: Tim Walls talks. And it's not just him, it's it's all. 573 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 14: It's all the establishment democrats, as if the entirety of 574 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 14: civilization started a couple of decades ago. Yeah, and we 575 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 14: have no idea how to do anything. 576 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like. 577 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 15: Hanfore, every achievement of mankind for thousands of years, I 578 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 15: have no idea how it happened until Tim Walls came 579 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 15: wrong to show us the way. 580 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 11: And so you asked a good question, John, where did 581 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 11: this come from? So if you actually go back, it 582 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 11: starts tracking at having early child education and daycare provided 583 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 11: because of the rise and costs of daycare, and then 584 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 11: it turned into like, well, these are other things that 585 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 11: that quote unquote families have to deal with and struggle with. 586 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 11: And then was born from that was like, well, what 587 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 11: if we provide a generous benefit package to people and 588 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 11: we force employees and employeers to be able to offer 589 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 11: these benefits to their employees. 590 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: And that's where it all came from, and so. 591 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 11: They modeled it after other states like California, who give 592 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 11: less weeks and more stringency of what qualifies. Now, if 593 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 11: you remember, President Trump's administration talked about having paid family 594 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 11: medical leave at a national level and implementing that for 595 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 11: a very very narrow set of mothers and fathers to 596 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 11: a certain degree, but it was a very very small 597 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 11: window because again, it's become this kind of like, oh, 598 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 11: we need to find a better way to offer benefits 599 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 11: to the working class because of rising costs. But the 600 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 11: Democrats took that and then they stretched out as far 601 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 11: as humanly possible to create what this awful, fraudulent program 602 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 11: is going to be. You know, in the state of Minnesota, 603 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 11: I want to go to the iHeartRadio app. 604 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: With the addition of this program in January, doesn't the 605 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: state have three different leave programs. 606 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 14: Yeah they do. 607 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 4: Is that really the case? 608 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: Yes? 609 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 14: It is so Yeah, it's just so ridiculous. So there's 610 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 14: earned sick and safe time. Right, that's the thing that's 611 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 14: already out. 612 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: I've conflated these. I've had people that keep correcting me. 613 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 14: No, they overlap they okay, all right, So there's there's 614 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 14: that there is a pregnancy leave that they passed under 615 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 14: their trifecta, which is supposedly the justification for paid family 616 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 14: medical leave is pregnancy is one of those things. And 617 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 14: now there's going to be the paid FAMLA medical leave 618 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 14: on top of it. And we've tried to figure out 619 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 14: how these things are going to interact. Nobody can give 620 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 14: us a clear answer. I don't think they care. I mean, 621 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 14: you asked earlier, why did they do this? Yeah, same reason. 622 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 14: They did eighty percent of the stuff they did on 623 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 14: their trifecta just to virtue signal to their base. 624 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: That's it. 625 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 3: How quickly are we going to see the ramifications of this, 626 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: like how I mean, because immediately you've got a okay, 627 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 3: how okay if that's the case house So because i mean, 628 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: assuming assuming negative, assuming negative, you know, negative aspects of 629 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 3: this even potential for fraud. You're gonna have to get 630 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 3: down the line a bit and the program is gonna 631 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: have to be implemented. And I'm just carrious from an 632 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 3: immediate basis, what are your concerns? 633 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 14: Well, I mean, just look at the operational burden that 634 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 14: it's immediately going to place on literally every employer. Now, 635 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 14: all of a sudden, you are you are taking on 636 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 14: a new business partner, and that business partner is the 637 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 14: State of Minnesota that gets to interject itself into all 638 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 14: of your employee relationships. As of January one, you are 639 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 14: no longer in charge and your employee, frankly, is no 640 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 14: longer in charge of your relationship with each other. You 641 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 14: now have to work through this intermediary, which is the again, 642 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 14: the same people who can't figure out that a guy 643 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 14: operating out of a closet in North Minneapolis can't feed 644 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 14: a thousand children a day, right, those are the people 645 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 14: that you know, no offense to DMV workers, But you're 646 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 14: taking the d and putting it in charge of your 647 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 14: business operation. 648 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: That's gonna have an immediate impact. 649 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 14: And here's what really concerns me is that we are 650 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 14: already on the verge of facing enormous disruption with the 651 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 14: advancements in AI that are coming in that are gonna 652 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 14: hit people. You interject this into it, that presents another 653 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 14: reason for employers to say, I'm not even gonna deal 654 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 14: with people.

Have a good eight. 662 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 14: Okay, I'm hearing a new government program. 663 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 12: We need to subsidize gingerbread houses for those left. 664 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 14: Don't play with their because they can't afford to. 665 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: Oh, it's going to make me kind of sad. 666 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 11: It was kind of a joke when I said it. 667 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 11: I mean poor people. I'm edt can buy gingerbread houses 668 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 11: because it's a food product. I just it was not 669 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 11: part of our culture to gingerbread house. 670 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 5: I also believe in the intrinsic worth of while people 671 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 5: just like UAK and I think everyone deserves a gingerbread house. 672 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 3: So before we wrap up, just really quick, cause we 673 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 3: only have just a couple of minutes left. Representative Walter Hudson. 674 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: We had this yesterday DHS announcing they were pausing a 675 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: moratorium on all new HCBS licenses relating to these disability waivers. 676 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: We had Governor Tim Walls last year, one year ago 677 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 3: talking about the eighteen billion dollar surplus turning into the 678 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 3: largest deficit that we've been facing, and he pointed out 679 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 3: these disability waivers into making that announcement. So the potential 680 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 3: here is that they're concerned of fraud and these disability 681 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 3: waivers in these different programs. How much of that do 682 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: you think possibly contributed to sucking up that eighteen billion 683 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: dollar surplus that we don't have anymore and putting us 684 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 3: in the deficit. 685 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 4: Do we know yet or will we find out? 686 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 14: Do you think we don't know entirely yet? I mean, 687 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 14: so it's been claimed that as much as eight billion 688 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 14: dollars has been lost to this fraud over the years. 689 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 14: What percentage of that comes out of recent years budgets, 690 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 14: I don't know, but it's certainly measured in the bees right, 691 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 14: It's certainly measured in the billions. And there's simply no 692 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 14: doubt that had we done things a different way and 693 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 14: not just trusted people to take bags of cash and 694 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 14: go out and do benevolent things with them. 695 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 4: We would be in a much better physical position as 696 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 4: a state. 697 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 3: I want to go around the room as we wrap 698 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: up this morning and ask one quick question in Catherine 699 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 3: Johnson for American Experiment.

Akkamar 704 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 4: your thoughts? 705 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, because unless he has some type of mental 706 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 11: acuity or he gets federally indicted. 707 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: That's my coffe Yachts. 708 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 4: Representat of Walter Hudson. Does he survive all this? 709 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 14: I'm concerned when you have, after years of completely ignoring 710 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 14: everything going on in Minnesota, you have the Start Tribute 711 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 14: coming out attacking him, you have the New York Times 712 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 14: coming out attacking him. It's very clear that Democrats are 713 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 14: engaged in some sort of a mutiny right now. 714 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 4: I still say it's way greater than fifty to fifty. 715 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 4: I think he's in big trouble. The question is who 716 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 4: do they replace him with? 717 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 3: And all the prominent individuals in the state have already 718 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 3: announced runs for other races, So all right.
