And as I was doing some research on 17 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: that story, I was looking up the individual who owned 18 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: the home. I found audio of this fraudster talking to 19 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: a group of people prior to the Feeding our Future 20 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: scandal being exposed, and it is so fascinating, for lack 21 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: of a. 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: Better word, you're fascinating to talk to. 23 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Listen to the way that these fraudsters spoke in retrospect, 24 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: in hindsight, knowing that they were committing fraud at the 25 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: time when this was taking place. We have Minneapolis as 26 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: city clown soil News. I didn't realize that Moby was 27 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: on the city council. 28 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: I'll explain further. 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: But there's a guy that's on the city council that 30 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: like he like, looks just like alternative artist Moby. There's 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: also a big old liberal too, so I'm not sure 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: there's a correlation at all. I just thought it was funny. 33 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: That's all coming up in the seven o'clock hour. Let's 34 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: start here. 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: Though. 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: Efforts to get the Save America Act to President Donald 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Trump's desk those intensified yesterday. Senator John Cornyn ended up 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: releasing an op ed and highlighting that he would back 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: whatever changes to the Senate rules doing that thing with 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: my fingers deemed necessary in order to pass the bill. 41 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, that's right now. Cornyn did this. He 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: penned this op ed because he and Attorney General Ken Paxton, 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: they're battling for Trump's endorsement in the heated Texas primary 44 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Senate primary. It's already headed to the May twenty sixth 45 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: the runoff election. Democrats have of course coalesced around psycho 46 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: boy Senator James tall Rico, who defeated Jasmine Crockett in 47 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: the primary last week, But according to the Cook Political Report, 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: the general election race still is skewed, likely Republican and 49 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: probably is going to stay that way. Tall Rico is 50 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: a He's a he is a absolute nutbar now. 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: Cornan wrote in the op ed. 52 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: For many years, I believe that at the Senate, scrapped 53 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: at the filibuster, Texas and our nation would stand to 54 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: lose more than we would to gain. 55 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: He wrote this in the New York Post. 56 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: My fellow Conservatives, I have proudly used the sixty vote 57 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: threshold to protect the country from all sorts of bad 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: ideas and dangerous policies, adding, when the reality on the 59 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: ground changes, leaders must take stock and adapt. Today Democrats 60 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: are weaponizing the Senate rules to block the Save America Act, 61 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: defund the Department of Homeland Security, and hurt the American people, 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: all just by President Donald Trump. 63 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the. 64 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Way, that DHS blocking is getting even more dangerous. We'll 65 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: talk about this in just a moment. But there's an 66 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: alert out for California right now of potential Iranian drone 67 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: attacks on the West Coast. I don't know how viable 68 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: that would be. I have a hard time believing that 69 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Iran could go and park a ship off our coast 70 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: without us knowing and launched drones. But I'm also not 71 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: working for the Department of Defense. So we'll talk about 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: that a little bit later on when Tom Wyler joins 73 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: US after eight o'clock today. Corney went on to say, 74 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: but they say openly that if these same rules ever 75 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: get in Democrats way, they won't hesitate to rip them up, 76 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: he said, noting how many Democrats have sought to get 77 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster in the past. Critics of the 78 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: talking filibuster are ending the practice altogether, have warned it 79 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: could open the floodgates to certain legislative proposals that the 80 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Democrats and perhaps a small number of Republicans could pass. 81 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: Now, is that a majority? 82 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: Leader John Thune told NBC News earlier this week. What 83 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: people don't realize I think is that it's un that's 84 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: unlimited debate, but it's also unlimited amendments. John Cornyan did 85 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: exactly what I produced to one weeks ago. One week ago, 86 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: said Paxton in a post on Wednesday, I made him 87 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: more conservative than in the past twenty four years. The 88 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: historic flip flops great and all, but why aren't you 89 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 1: calling out your buddies like McConnell for opposing the bill. 90 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Tell the American people who's opposing this and listen. Paxton's 91 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: right on that front. The reality is that there are 92 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: holds out, holdouts like deathbed Mitch McConnell, That's what I'm 93 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: calling him now because he's on his deathbed, like deathbed Mitch, 94 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: who hates Trump to the point where he doesn't want 95 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: to get behind any of this. And then you've got Murkowski, 96 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: whose career is kind of ode to deathbed Mitch. So 97 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: they're holding out. As I've said from the start, and listen, 98 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: nuke the filibuster, talk the filibuster to death. I don't care. 99 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: Get the Save America Act passed, and then I trust 100 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: God to handle what comes next after we get some 101 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: election integrity. President Donald Trump had in an interview, had 102 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: some words to say about the current situation regarding the 103 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: Save Act. This is what he had to say. 104 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: It's a very basic thing. It's called save America. Actually, 105 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: and that's what it is. 106 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 5: It's having to do with voting and voter ID. We 107 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 5: want voter ID, we want proof of citizenship. We added 108 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 5: a couple no men playing in women's sports. 109 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 6: We don't want that. 110 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 4: Nobody does. 111 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 5: I think it's about a ninety eight percent issue. We 112 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 5: want no transgender mutilation of our children. 113 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 4: Very basic things that you. 114 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 5: Wouldn't even think we'd be talking about fifteen or twenty 115 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: years ago. But for the voting aspect of it is, 116 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 5: we want voter ID very important. You have to have 117 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 5: identification and you have to have proof of citizenship. 118 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: We don't want mail in ballots. 119 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: We don't want to have ballots coming from all. 120 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: Different corners of the world. Want to have it accurate, 121 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 4: and you can't do that with it mail in ballots. 122 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 5: Actually, Jimmy Carter headed a commission years ago. 123 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: He said, mail in ballots no good. 124 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 5: We're the only country in the world. 125 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: That's doing mail in ballots and. 126 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 5: That would exclude, though, our military or people that are ill, 127 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: people that are away. 128 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: So we're generous in that way. But people don't want mail. 129 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 7: In ballots because you have crooked elections. 130 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: It guarantees a crooked. 131 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: Election now beyond the fears of a California Iranian drone attack. 132 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: I also want to give you another quick update on 133 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury.

So it's time 158 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 9: to rip the band aid off, get rid of the filibuster, 159 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 9: and start passing these things because I guarantee you when 160 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 9: the Dems have a chance, they're going to do it 161 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 9: in a blink. 162 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: Well, and there's an argument to be made as well, 163 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: and this is the this is what stalling part of 164 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: this is that because of the Republican's reluctancy, that Democrats 165 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: might have the same reluctancy. I don't care either way. 166 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't know which way Democrats would end up going. 167 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: I tend to believe is Scott and think a Scott 168 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: said there, that the Democrats would end up taking advantage 169 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: of this their Trump arrangement syndrome. They simply cannot help themselves. 170 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: You have more examples of this when we talk about 171 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: the inherent right of rights of wild rice for crying 172 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: out loud. That being said, this debate between Cornyn and Paxton. 173 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm fine with it whatever as long as it results 174 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: in getting the Save America Act passed, that's it. I 175 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: don't at this point, I don't really care how we 176 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: get there, and as I mentioned, I'll let God handle 177 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: everything else after that. 178 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 6: Good morning, gentlemen, Hope everything's going well. Corwin flipped because 179 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 6: the fact that a back room deal was made. They 180 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 6: know the bill isn't going to pass, so he comes 181 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 6: out and pretends like he's for the bill, but they 182 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 6: already know it's not going to pass. On all political damage. 183 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 6: And you can see it in the betting markets right now, 184 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 6: the odds of Corwin winning flip flopped. 185 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 4: With packs and. 186 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 2: I tend to go more with this. 187 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Is Cornyan trying to get the endorsement of President Donald Trump, 188 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump has yet to endorse either of these individuals. 189 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: So Cornyn's of the opinion that hey, if I go 190 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: ahead and change my view on this to get the 191 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: Save America Erica Act passed, then perhaps that will ensure 192 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Trump's endorsement to maybe put me over the edge. Relating 193 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: to Ken Paxton, So we'll see how the whole thing 194 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: shakes out. An assessment from the Israeli intelligence said it 195 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: is believed that Iran's new Supreme Leader, the Motaba Khamane, 196 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: the son of the Iatola Kamane, was wounded at the 197 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: start of the war. An Israeli intelligence official and reservist 198 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: with knowledge of the situation spoke in a condition of anonymity. 199 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: They were not authorized, of course, to discuss the matter 200 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: to the media. Gave no details on the nature of 201 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: the injuries. The fifty six year old son of the 202 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: late Supreme leader has not been seen since succeeding his 203 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: father on Monday. His father and wife were killed in 204 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: an Israeli airstrike on the first day of the conflict. 205 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: Apart from cardboard cutouts, i'body even kidding you. They've been 206 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: pulling out cardboard cutouts of this dude, lavishing praise upon 207 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: him in front of people. 208 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's throngs of people. 209 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are turning out for 210 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: the regime at this point in time, then not showing 211 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: the crowds separately. Kowait said its defenses down to eight 212 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: Iranian drones, and Saudi Arabia said it intercepted five heading 213 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: towards the Kingdom's Shaiba oil field. Witnesses reported continuous air 214 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: strikes hitting Tehran after Israel said it had renewed its attacks. 215 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: Explosions were also heard in Beirut in southern Lebanon as 216 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: Israeli said it was. Israel said it was hitting targets 217 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: connected with the Irani impact Hezbolah militants. We may have 218 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: dropped the mother of all bombs a moab yesterday. There 219 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: was footage of this epic massive explosion just outside of 220 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: Tehran that was making the rounds yesterday, really really incredible. 221 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: There was some erroneous reports that Israel had used a 222 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: low yield nuke. Those were debunked rather quickly, and the 223 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: assessment at the moment seems to be that again this 224 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,359 Speaker 1: was the US using a moab on this particular facility. 225 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: This stip was also making the rounds yesterday. I wanted 226 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: to share it with you. This is a radio exchange 227 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: between in Israeli and US fighter pilot. 228 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: I just thought it was awesome. 229 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 10: A great tonal for us. By you'll do a great job. 230 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: Thank you very much for my questions. Gentlemen, Please we. 231 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 6: Saved up there. 232 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: Just cool stuff gives me the chills. I think it's awesome. 233 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Before we move over to a new bill that would 234 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: legalize magic mushrooms, not without some stipulations. By the way, 235 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: it's almost not even worth it for crying out loud. 236 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: We'll give you, uh, I'll give you the details of this, 237 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: uh of this coming up in just a moment. I 238 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: had this clip from earlier in the week. I haven't 239 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to play it yet. I don't know 240 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: if you saw it. Hillary Clinton was actually going and 241 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: offering up a bit of I don't want to say praise, 242 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: but she was actually she was being complimentary of President 243 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 244 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: Oh it was really really odd. 245 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: She was on a podcast and she was talking about 246 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: how Trump was acting differently and better. 247 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of summarizing. 248 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: Then he did in his first term in office. It 249 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: just was kind of like, oh my gosh, my broken 250 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: clock is right twice a day. 251 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: This is ABC News. Jonathan Carl. 252 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: He posted this up online earlier in the week, getting 253 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: into a bit of President Donald Trump and how he 254 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: operates as a president and how much different he is 255 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: from a typical president. As if you needed another example, 256 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: But listen to what Jonathan Carl from BBC News had 257 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: to say, it's really interesting. 258 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: I've covered five different presidents. I have never seeing one 259 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: other than Donald Trump, who regularly takes phone calls from reporters. 260 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: So I thought I would talk a little. 261 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 4: Bit about that. 262 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: I've spoken to him over the phone three times since 263 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: the military operation the war against Iran started. In each 264 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: of those cases, I simply called him and he answered. 265 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: Some of the conversations are short, some of them can 266 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: be quite lengthy. I talked to him today during the 267 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: middle of the afternoon, and the call lasted for about 268 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: twenty minutes. When I called, I was actually calling to 269 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: ask him because if he was firing Christy nom because 270 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: ABC News was about to report that had happened. 271 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: And it turned out that he was. 272 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: As I was talking to him, reviewing the statement that 273 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: he would put out saying that she was leaving office, 274 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: and he told me he was sitting there with Marco 275 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: Rubio and he started to read the statement to me, 276 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 3: and then he pressed to send and he said, look, you 277 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: can see it now. You can see it now, And 278 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: sure enough, while we were talking, it appeared on True 279 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: Social him saying that Christine Homes leaving and being replaced 280 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: by Mark Wayne Mullin. The conversation then turned to Iran, 281 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: obviously the really big story and major decision which made 282 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: define not just his presidency but his entire political career. 283 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: And I have to say he just sounded incredibly triumphant. 284 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: He said to me, they're calling me the goat greatest 285 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: of all time. And he asked me, and this again, 286 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: this is one of the unusual things. 287 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 4: He asked me if I thought. 288 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: It was impressive being the war, He said, what do 289 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: you make what do you think of the performance? He 290 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: clearly feels that he is a president right now that 291 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: is almost unlimited in his power, and he feels that. 292 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: He can do no wrong. 293 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: And he told me, well, in the first term, I 294 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 3: built the military. In my second term, I am using it. 295 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: But again the conversation goes on, and it's in the 296 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 3: middle of the day, in the middle. 297 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 10: Of the war. 298 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 3: He had just fired his secretary of Homeland Security, just 299 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: replaced her. 300 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 10: And. 301 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: You know, he's available and talking about it. It's very unique. 302 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: Let's just say it that way. It's a very unique situation. 303 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: And again that was Jonathan carl and the comment of 304 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: the president believes he can do no wrong. Aside, I 305 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: think that's the wrong takeaway from it. It was an 306 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: interesting insight into President Donald Trump. I had a very 307 00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: similar experience with another well known politician who is no 308 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: longer with us, many years ago. I'll tell you that story. 309 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: Coming up in just a moment here on Twinsday's News Talk, 310 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: we'll talk about legalizing magic mushrooms. Hearing brings support and 311 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: concern for a bill that would require cameras in childcare centers. Yeah, 312 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: there's some really interesting little nuggets within this story, especially 313 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: as it relates to fraud and tackling the fraud here 314 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. I want to give you a warning as well. 315 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: I have one clip from Governor Tim Walls that I 316 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: will share before seven o'clock this morning. 317 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: I'm warning you now, it's annoying. 318 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: I know the majority of clips that we play from 319 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls are annoying. But once again, just like 320 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: Sidney Jordan yesterday with the tax credit for schools and 321 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: the video that the DFL put out of her just 322 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: lying about every single aspect of this, you can say 323 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: something very similar with this clip that I have from 324 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls. Coming up on Twinsday's News Talk AM 325 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: eleven thirty in one oh three five FM. 326 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. 327 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: Have you heard about that problem? 328 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: HERT Radio station? 329 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 11: Hey John, before you mentioned legalizing magic mushrooms, I don't 330 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 11: think we can afford it.

Listen, we don't have 334 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 11: to make this stuff illegal. We just got to make 335 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 11: it illegal in charge like this, and nobody's gonna be 336 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 11: able to afford it anywhere. Five hundred dollars mushroom. 337 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: That's a lot of money for not a lot of marijuana. 338 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm good, by the way, mini leaf right now, five 339 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: dollars off then at the night gummies that's right.

My 343 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: name is John Justice. Devin is smiling, and the master 344 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: Control booth to my right. If passed, this bill would 345 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: create a pilot program for up to one thousand patients 346 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: to qualify for the medical with aqua. Excuse me with 347 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: a qualifying medical condition like depression to use the psilocybin mushrooms. 348 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 4: I don't. 349 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a reason why the program is capped 350 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: at a thousand patients in the first three years, monitored 351 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: by fifty facilitators who will be licensed in the state. 352 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: Patients must consume the mushrooms at a licensed facility and 353 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: the legislature will reevaluate the program after three years. 354 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 12: I just. 355 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 2: It almost doesn't seem worth it. So. 356 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: Psilocybin is the psychedelic compound found in the species of mushrooms. 357 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: It's currently illegal as a psychedelic drug, but Minnesota state 358 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: representatives from both parties believe it can help a lot 359 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: of people. People are saying that they have a new 360 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: lease on life. They thought they wouldn't make it, and 361 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: now they are because of these drugs. 362 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: This is according to the DFL Representative A and D. 363 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: Smith out of Rochester, Representative Nolan West out of my 364 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: neck of the Woods, and Blaine gop. 365 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: He said, if this was a terrible. 366 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: Idea, you would have seen a lot of medical professionals 367 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: here to oppose it, all right, So I appreciate the 368 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: sentiment from Representative Nolan West on this, but maybe we 369 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't put that much faith. 370 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: In stock in the medical professionals. 371 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: I respect the medical professionals do not misunderstand, but I 372 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: also remember what a lot of those say medical professionals 373 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: had to say during COVID, and especially here in Minnesota, 374 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: with politics and more specifically progressive ideologies that have infected 375 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: our healthcare system. I am hesitant to go and lean 376 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: on that. Well, you know, this was a bad idea. 377 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: We would see a lot of medical professionals here opposing it. 378 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: And again, given the restrictions on this, it kind of 379 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: seems like, well, why would you have any medical professionals 380 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: proposing it. One, they're capig out of a thousand patients 381 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: and you have to consume the mushrooms at a license facility. 382 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Now the other part to this too, and I don't 383 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: have the details here to know. Let me share with 384 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: you the rest of the story here and then I'll 385 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: add in my concerns. If you want to comment, feel 386 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: free to leave a talk back on the iHeartRadio app. 387 00:22:52,440 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: But one doctor, Aminji Kim, Minneapolis psychiatrist, said this therapy, 388 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear, is not for casual 389 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: or recreational use, and involves careful screening, preparation sessions, and 390 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: supervised therapeutic experience, as well as integration afterwards. Medical professionals 391 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: testified the psilocybin will be a meaningful new option for 392 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: patients who have exhausted existing options. Since the bill would 393 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: legalize a drug, there are several legislative committees that must 394 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: go through before becoming a law. I've told this story before, 395 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: but in the last the open heart surgery that I 396 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty two, they were trying new therapies 397 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: out in terms of pain management. One of them they 398 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: actually thought had given me a stroke. 399 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: That wasn't the case. 400 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm allergic to morphine and they had a derivative of 401 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: it that they were using. It was a new procedure 402 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: where they actually injected into your back, right. I hadn't 403 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: had this in the first two open heart surgeries that 404 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: I went through, so this was all new and they said, yeah, 405 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: this should ease the pain of the chest pain. Later 406 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: on will the drug that they used, again being a 407 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: derivative of morphine. I remember this was like one of 408 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: the first days after waking up, and I'm sitting in 409 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: my hospital room and I'm just completely out of it, 410 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: because you know, after the surgery, it takes you a 411 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: day or two before you you know, before all of 412 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: the anesthesia wears off and you can actually sort of 413 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: think clearly. But I'm sitting there and my eyes were bouncing, 414 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: and I was so out of it, and on some 415 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: of the other drugs, I'm like, that's really weird. And 416 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: my eyes are like bouncing up and down, and the 417 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: doctors are like, what. And I had a whole bunch 418 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: of doctors that came in to examine me, and sure enough, 419 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: they could actually see my pupils were gyrating up and down, 420 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: and at first they thought I was having a stroke, 421 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: and then we realized that it was a it was 422 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: a negative reaction to the morphine. Later they ended up 423 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: giving me ketamine. And that was the worst thing ever. 424 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: I've told that story. No, I'm good. 425 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: I had blood pressure monitor. 426 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: I was watching blood pressure monitors walking across the counter. 427 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: My doctor came in with bright blue hair, and you 428 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: might think, well, are you sure they didn't just have 429 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: bright blue hair. No, no, no, they were it was 430 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: they actually had black hair, but it was bright blue 431 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: because of the drugs that I was. 432 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: It was no fund, it was no fun whatsoever. 433 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: But the point I wanted to make on this is 434 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: what concerns me is just when it comes to the 435 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: wave that Minnesota in the Democrats go and craft these rules, 436 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to licensing anybody, fifty different facilitators 437 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: will be licensed with the state to handle these one 438 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: thousand patients. Are we going to put safeguards in to 439 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: make sure that this doesn't end up becoming fraudulent as well? 440 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: That's the concern that I would have worn it everybody. 441 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 4: It's chat from Dollan all. 442 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 13: A thousand patients. Then people want to be lamb rats. 443 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 13: I don't get it. What kind of mushrooms are they 444 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 13: going to try to give you and monitor you? And 445 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 13: then yeah, no thanks? Sounds like some kind of a 446 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 13: weird experiment to me. 447 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 4: That's fine. 448 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: I would imagine the individuals that would participate in this 449 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: would be people that were again dealing with a extreme 450 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: qualified medical condition, wherein other therapeutic means of pain management 451 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: just simply aren't working. 452 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 14: John, let all the people that are in favor of 453 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 14: using psilocybin get on and lead the way start using it. 454 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 4: But I think they already are. 455 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 12: Well, John they said you had to consume them at 456 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 12: a license facility, didn't mean you have to finish enjoying 457 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 12: them at a license facility. 458 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: Well, I think the whole point is that you're not 459 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: allowed to take them with you. In the story says 460 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: it involves careful screening preparation sessions. Patients must consume them 461 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: in a license facility so that they could be monitor 462 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: at the time so they don't start flipping out. And 463 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: again I'm not against this, I just want to make 464 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: sure that we do it the right way. And here 465 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, when it comes to crafting legislation, especially when 466 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: it comes to licensing individuals, we. 467 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: Don't typically do it the right way. 468 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: We typically do it in such a way that it's 469 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: going to benefit democrats by giving individuals the opportunity to 470 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: go and commit acts of fraud, something that we'll talk 471 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: about in further detail next hour. 472 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 15: Before you're all against the vetical bush, it wasn't about 473 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 15: one thing. If they're not talking taking huge doses, it's 474 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 15: very small doses. 475 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 7: It has animal beneficture, just like that bear wada gwys 476 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 7: that you take to go to sleep. You're taking a 477 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 7: smaller dose and a certain part of the chemical plant 478 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 7: strain that helps you sleep, stay with the mushrooms, just 479 00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 7: small quantity. 480 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. 481 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: I don't. 482 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: Why did you get the impression I was against it. 483 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: I was just making sure we do it right, that's all. 484 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not my bag. I don't want 485 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: hallucinogens a misconstrue. What I'm saying, all right? 486 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: Speaking of the legislative session and informational hearing was held 487 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: in the Minnesota House Children and Families Finance and Policy 488 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: Committee earlier this week for Harvey's Law. If passed, Minnesota 489 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: would become the first state to require cameras for childcare centers. Okay, 490 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: so can we do while Housing and Stabilization services is gone, 491 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: because again that was all fraudulent. But can we also 492 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: do autism centers, hospices, nursing homes, et cetera. I think 493 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: we should expand this everywhere. I think the cameras would do. 494 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: A lot of good. 495 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: Harvey's Law honors eleven month old Harvey mucle Bust, who 496 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: was build last fall at a daycare in Savage. According 497 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: to court documents, the eighteen an eighteen year oldmployee confessed 498 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: to choking him. 499 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: Now the bill. 500 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: The law would require cameras in infant and toddler rooms 501 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: and license to childcare centers receiving state funds. It also 502 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: calls for footage to be retained for twenty eight days. Again, no, 503 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: that's good. I think this is a good thing. We 504 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: need this type of oversight. But let's also do autism centers, hospices, 505 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: and nursing homes. I bring up hospices, and I haven't 506 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: talked about this in the show yet, but they have 507 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: uncovered a massive fraud scheme regarding hospices in California, and 508 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: it's exactly the same thing that we saw here. You 509 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: have an office building with like thirty different autism centers 510 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: autism offices that aren't operating, but they're collecting all the 511 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: money because they're building the state for services they're not giving. 512 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: It's the same thing with these hospices in California. 513 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: You had investigators that went out exactly to an office 514 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: building where there were multiple hospices that were apparently supposed 515 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: to be existing there, and while there were signs on 516 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: the door, nobody was home. According to court documents, Harvey 517 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: was the daycare worker's second victim, the first child harmed 518 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: a second. The first kid harmed a second time just 519 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: hours before Harvey survived. Many parents to who testified saying 520 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: their children have also been victims of child abuse at 521 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: childcare centers. But lawmakers also heard from people, including childcare providers, 522 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: who voiced concerns about everything from the cost of the 523 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: cameras to privacy and security concerns. Kathlyn McHenry with the 524 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: Early Care and Educational Consortium, said that mandating cameras in 525 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: every childcare setting would be like requiring cameras in every 526 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: hospital room. They might record what happens every day, but 527 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: they don't prevent errors or maltreatment. 528 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: What do you want, absolutes? 529 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're worried about errors and maltreatment, you're 530 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: taking a step forward by going and requiring cameras. And 531 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: I would be fine with cameras in a hospital room. 532 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: We can improve safety in hospitals and in childcare with 533 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: proper training, supervision, ratios, protocols, procedures, inspections, higher pay for staff, 534 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: and more safety improves through systems and standards, not constant surveillance. 535 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, but at the same time, 536 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: we don't do that well here in Minnesota. So you 537 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: can want the proper training, supervision, ratios, protocols and procedures 538 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: and inspections. But unfortunately, with the leadership that we currently 539 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: have under Governor Tim Wallas, at least we do that poorly. 540 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: So if you viewing requiring cameras in childcare centers is 541 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: more extreme than pointed Democrats on that they've created this 542 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: scenario with the lack of oversight and too much of 543 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: the policies and the programs that they've created. Several people 544 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: who expressed concerns with the law said they were in 545 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: favor of a task force being formed to gather more information. 546 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: Great, so we can spend more money. 547 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: Last session, lawmakers did pass legislation that requires cameras at 548 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: childcare centers with active maltreatment violations. That law goes into 549 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: effect in July. We have a return of Representative Nolan 550 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: West once again for Harvey's law. He's the bill's author. 551 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: He said it has bipartisan support. He also said he 552 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: was not against adding language in the law around privacy 553 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: after hearing concerns from some of his fellow lawmakers. Now, 554 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: the bill was introduced yesterday a voting. Any consideration on 555 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: the amendments will happen on the seventeenth, so something that 556 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: will certainly keep it ion and I will update you 557 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: once we have more information. Let's go back to some 558 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: more of your comments from the iHeartRadio app. Got one 559 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: here regarding mushrooms. 560 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 4: Psychedelic mushrooms. 561 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 16: Huh limited to a thousand patients in a controlled environment. Yeah, 562 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 16: come on, please here in the state of Minnesota. This 563 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 16: is just another fraud that is waiting to be had, 564 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 16: just like paid leave. We're right on the money on 565 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 16: those statistics, right. 566 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for the setup on this. 567 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: I have a story coming up John Feeling, center of 568 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: the American Experiment. He's been tracking the number of individuals 569 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: that have been taking advantage of paid family medical leave, 570 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: and he's already two and a half months into this program, 571 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: asking the question of whether or not by this summer 572 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: there will need to be another payroll tax hike to 573 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: deal with the number of individuals signing up for paid 574 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: family medical leaf, which raises the question in my mind 575 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: of whether or not they can just arbitrarily go and 576 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: raise the tax on this. I need to ask Max 577 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: Rymer or some of our legislative friends on that is 578 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: the ability to raise the payroll tax baked in to 579 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: this program or does it have to be voted on 580 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: by the legislature. All right, getting back to your top 581 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: backs from the current topic. 582 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 8: John, I've been touring some commercial places for work recently, 583 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 8: and it seems that about half is not all the 584 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 8: ones that are vacant, which is probably close to half 585 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 8: of the total market, were entirely fraudulent businesses. There was 586 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 8: no sign that anybody ever worked there. They were all 587 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 8: tied into the government and they're all closing up shop 588 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 8: and failing back to Africa wherever they came from. 589 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: Is really unbelievable how much fraud there is. This is 590 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 2: just the tip of. 591 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 17: The Iceberg Hospice is huge in Minnesota too. There's one 592 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 17: building that has twenty one location. Then it hasn't been 593 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 17: brought to the public yet. 594 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 18: Hey, John, I think if it's cool for them to 595 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 18: have the constitutional watchers going around following ice then we 596 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 18: got to have constitutional watchers at all of these daycares 597 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 18: and autism centers. 598 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: It's a great point. 599 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 18: And a constitutional watch every time they need a translator 600 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 18: for eight hours for one hundred dollars an hour, and 601 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 18: a constitutional watcher every time they need a ride to 602 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 18: and from their. 603 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 4: Hospital appointment. 604 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 18: You know, let's have constitutional watches on them. 605 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 606 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: No, that's a that's a really, really good point. Thank 607 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: you for the talkbacks this morning, greatly appreciated. I want 608 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: to revisit briefly. I have a story of the new 609 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: of Minnesota software system speaking of costs, and we'll talk 610 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: about the new the paid Family Medical leaf here in 611 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: just a moment on Twin City's News Talk. But yesterday 612 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time talking about Governor Tim 613 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: Walls and his ridiculous and unnecessary major plan to centralize 614 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: and modernize DHS. So I was working off the Fox 615 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: nine news story yesterday, and in the Fox nine story 616 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: they lay out the price tag for this, and I 617 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 1: brought attention to it on Wednesday show. 618 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: The price tag's not cheap. 619 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: The budget director for Walls's news Centralized Modernized, Modernized DHS 620 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: plan puts the cost of the state takeover of county 621 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: eligibility responsibilities at seventeen million dollars in the first budget 622 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: cycle fifty five million in the next cycle. It's not 623 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: clear how much of it will cost to modernize the computer. 624 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 2: Systems within DHS. 625 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: Those costs will be included in the governor's budget proposal. 626 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: So I made the comment yesterday and I was joking that, well, 627 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: if you're looking at fifty five million in the second cycle, 628 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: seventeen million for the next cycle is probably going to 629 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: be closer to a one hundred and twenty million dollars 630 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: when all was said and done. Because every single time 631 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: that Democrats go and have a new program and they 632 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: try to game out an estimate of how much is 633 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: it going to cost, it's always lower than what it 634 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: ends up costing. To that point, Minnesota's new software system 635 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: costs fifty million more than was initially approved. Side note 636 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: on this too, I had to go find the story 637 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: again about Walls and his plan because I wanted to 638 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: get the dollar amounts correct. I couldn't find any other 639 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: story other than Fox nine, and it's there. 640 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 2: I missed it. 641 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: But I looked at Cara Leven, I looked at Channel five, 642 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: looked at the Pioneer Press, I looked at the Star Tribune, 643 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: I looked at the Minnesota Reformer. All the coverage of 644 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: their stories of Walls and his new plan to centralize 645 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,959 Speaker 1: and modernize DHS, they all left out the cost. Fox 646 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: nine was the only one that actually included the price 647 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: in it. 648 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 2: I thought that was rather interesting. 649 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: So they're trying to replace out data software essential to 650 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: everything from payroll to class registration the Minnesota State school system. 651 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: It's costing now forty eight million dollars more than initially approved, 652 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: and it's four years behind schedule. We just we can't 653 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: do anything right. I'll give you further details on this 654 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: in just a moment. We'll get to your talkbacks as well, 655 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: and I'll bring a little bit of a truth to 656 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: this clip from Governor Tim Walls. 657 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 2: Recently. 658 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: He was at some event sitting up on stage when 659 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: he spouted this word salad of lies. Here's Governor Tim Walls, 660 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: and we'll get to more of it and your thoughts 661 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: next here on Twin Cities News Talking Hour two of 662 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 1: today's show. 663 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 19: What happened right and why they left was because of 664 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 19: the people on the streets. 665 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 4: It wasn't the elected officials. 666 00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 19: They left because of that and each organizations. 667 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 4: That turned into food banks and you know. 668 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 19: Soccer and basketball carpools that turned into protecting children and 669 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 19: parents surrounding schools. 670 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 2: What I would tell. 671 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 4: Them, and I don't know if you can. 672 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 19: You can't replicate it immediately, but that old adage that 673 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 19: all politics and all action is local. Minnesotans take that 674 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 19: to local, to your house and the house next to you, 675 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 19: and the house next to you. 676 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 4: Easy, every word of what you just said. What's wrong,
