1
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: Our three Twin City's news Talk AM eleven thirty and

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: one O three five FM from the sixty five to

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: one Carpet plus Next Day Install Studios.

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: My name is John Justice. Yeah, this's the North Side. Chance.

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: Can anybody say, where's Tim Walls?

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: I think he's in Germany right now? Like I'm not

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: even joking something. I think it's a yearly year by

8
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: yearly mayor's conference or something to this. He's not in

9
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: country right now. I think he traveled to Texas and

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: then popped a plane overseas. I saw a clip of

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: him in front of a group of foreigners yesterday, but

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: again I can't remember which country exactly was. Must be nice. Well,

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. I'm not going

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: to give them a hard time for it. I think

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: it's something that all governors do. You know, it's hard

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: because you look at it and go, why aren't you

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: here in the state. And that certainly rings true when

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: it comes to Walls going and heading down the places

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: like Texas to talk about education down there. But it's

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: a little different when these are again events that typically

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: do occur, and governors go it's something you can really

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: give them a hard.

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: Time for I can never figure out why a lot

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: of people, older people that live in California could stay

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: in California.

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's easy because of Disneyland. Maybe that's just me.

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: She has more to say with their tax based that

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: I realized they had some program where they were grandfathered

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: in where after a certain age and years in your home,

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: you could not raise their taxes. Any chance of our

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: totally progressive state doing something like that for us.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly the squid Lake scene from Star Wars Revenge of

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the Sith that comes to mind, where Anakin is sitting

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: there with Palpatine and Anakin asks him, can I learn

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: that power? And Palpatine looks at him and goes, not

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: from a Jedi. Yeah no, not not in this state.

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: That's not gonna that's not gonna happen. Almost everything can

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: be referenced back to Star Wars. I just want to

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: point that out.

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: The funny thing is he said that Palpatine line way

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: too fast.

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Not from a Jedi.

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: We'll work on it.

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: It's all right, it's good.

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: Good morning, gentlemen.

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 6: Yeah.

47
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: On the taxes between the city and the county, my

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 5: tax rate is going up almost twenty percent. It's unsustainable. Yeah,

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 5: I'm not getting a twenty percent raise, So how does

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 5: the city and the county get twenty percent more in

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: my money? It just sucks.

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does suck, and they get more of that

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: money because they're just going to take it from you.

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: And then in turn, individuals are going to have to

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: budget find out where they're going to go and pull

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: that money from. And then you have this revolving cycle

57
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: with less money going into the economy contributing to less revenue,

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: bringing us to deficits instead of surpluses. Not like it matters,

59
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: because under dfl and Walls's leadership, they just go and

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: blow all that money and then put everybody in the

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: position that they're in right now heading into next year.

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: And just to be clear, when it comes to these

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: property taxes, they're going up because of inflation and rising costs.

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: I'll talk more about that in a second. Unfunded mandates.

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota counties administering social service programs, and then we know

66
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: many of those that turned out to be fraudulent. You

67
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: do have changes at the federal level, a reduction in

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: federal reimbursements that add new administrative requirements and costs that

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: end up being passed down to counties, devaluation of commercial property.

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: If you watch a Precarious State, you know the situation

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, the school district levies which we were talking

72
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: about last hour, state funding shortfalls.

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: It all contributes to this.

74
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: And there's a ven diagram of the national issues that

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: the administration under Trump is trying to tackle on what

76
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: we're dealing with here in Minnesota. Ryan Wilson made a

77
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: really good point, and I remember I.

78
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Can still recall a time before COVID. I will never forget.

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: It is burned in my memory.

80
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: In November December of twenty nineteen, having conversations sitting on

81
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the room between myself, my best friend,

82
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: former host on the show, Drew, former producer Samantha. By

83
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: the way, today's her due date. She is still here.

84
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: I just saw her in the hallways. Did you really yep.

85
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this a little bit later

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: on in the hour. It is her due date today,

87
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: which is pretty amazing. But I remember the conversations that

88
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: we had when this thing called coronavirus popped up and

89
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about what was happening in China, having

90
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: no clue whatsoever, and joking about, boy, what would happen

91
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: if it happened here. Oh, it'd be like contagent. Wouldn't

92
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: that be crazy? The point being is that we endured COVID,

93
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: you had this massive influx of federal dollars, and then

94
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: when we came out of it, you had this abuse

95
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: of the COVID money that took place during the time

96
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: of COVID. You had the fraud that took place. You

97
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: had the influx of dollars into the economy driving up inflation,

98
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: the abuse of this money, the various government entities at

99
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: the local and national level that received this COVID money

100
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: and then wasted it and then expected that it was

101
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: just going to be given back in perpetuity, even though

102
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be specifically for COVID. And so

103
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: what ended up happening at the national level, you had

104
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: the Biden administration that came in and exacerbated the problem,

105
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: made it again dramatically worse, considering the influx of those

106
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: coming into the country illegally, which we'll talk about.

107
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 7: Aaron.

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Just a moment relating to two senators in the Sanctuary

109
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: State Bill author announcing their retirement from the legislature here

110
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And so now you had the Trump administration

111
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: coming in after four years of Biden making the unintended

112
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: consequences of the response to the COVID pandemic worse. And

113
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: then here in Minnesota you had the same thing happening,

114
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: but you had the DFL trifecta in play, so you

115
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: had Democrats in total power that went and instead of

116
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: heading the problem off that was emerging, they just built

117
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: on it.

118
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: A culture of corruption and fraud.

119
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: That that really exploded under the COVID pandemic and specifically

120
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: looking and feeding our future, that ended up feeding something else.

121
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: It fed fraud into a host of other programs that

122
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the DFL passed during the time when they had all

123
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: the power, when they shut out Republicans when they wouldn't

124
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: hear their arguments, and they rammed forward with their plans.

125
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: And so now what are we dealing with? What we're

126
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: dealing with.

127
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: The ramifications of that. And it's not going to be

128
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: a quick fix. There is going to be pain involved,

129
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: and it's mostly going to occur in your pocketbook. And

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: hopefully we get new leadership next year and we retain

131
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the leadership in DC. As Trump continues to move and

132
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: his administration continue to move to go and course correct

133
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: all of what's been taking place. These things take time

134
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: weeding out the fraud and snap weeding out the fraud

135
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: in our healthcare as the Democrats push back against it

136
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: over and over and over again in their one hundred

137
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: percent opposition to everything that Trump does.

138
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: But here in Minnesota, we're dealing with.

139
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: The same thing. There's not going to be any quick

140
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: fixes to this. The pathway to a fix will have

141
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: to occur next year during the elections, a change in

142
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: the governor's office, Republicans grabbing control in the legislature. That's

143
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: your first step towards change, and then it's going to

144
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: be a long process to undo the damage that they did.

145
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot faster and easier to bring about the

146
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: corruption and do the damage, to cause harm to the

147
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: taxpayers here in Minnesota, that's easy. That can happen quick,

148
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: and it happened quick under the DFL trifecta. Removing it

149
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: that's something entirely different and a lot harder to do,

150
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: which is why Republicans have got to put their petty

151
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: differences aside and work as hard as they possibly can

152
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: to make sure as many people are out to vote.

153
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: When it comes time to vote. Quit trying to debate

154
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: with Democrats over these issues. It doesn't matter. Do not

155
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: try to act like democrats. Don't try to appeal to

156
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the moderates. Figure out every single way that you can

157
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: make sure that anybody who's legally able to vote as

158
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: a Republican goes and votes on election day. I know

159
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys have received those flyers for

160
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: the absentee the permanent to absentee ballot requests, and I

161
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: thought that this was coming from Democrats.

162
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: It's not. That's actually a.

163
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Trump supporter initiative out of Colorado. You see the Trump

164
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: administration and Trump supporters and those that understand exactly what

165
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about right now, they're making moves now to

166
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: try to establish a Republican voter base to make sure

167
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: people can go and vote. That's why you're seeing those

168
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: requests to be added to the permanent absentee ballot list,

169
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: because the Trump administration and those that are working on

170
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: elections heading into next year know that they've got to

171
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: figure out every single way to go and take advantage

172
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: of the current system and the way that we vote

173
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: so the Republicans can maintain power and then bring about

174
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: further election integrity. All Right, I'm running along. We'll get

175
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: back to your talkbacks coming up in just a moment.

176
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Here on Twin Cities News Talk, I'll let you know

177
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: the state senators and the author of the sanctuary we

178
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: build that'll be retiring from the legislature. Plus, got a

179
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: couple of items relating to pregnancy. We talked about Sam

180
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a moment ago, but a ridiculous, ridiculous pregnancy core side

181
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of the University of Minnesota that you're not gonna want

182
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: to miss. It's on our never ending Parade's stupid this

183
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: morning here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven thirty

184
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: and one on three five FM.

185
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: This is the Twin Cities news talk station.

186
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I read the transcripts on the iHeartRadio app talkbacks brought

187
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: to you by Lyndahl Realty.

188
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: You gotta do that because many of you have a

189
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: potty mouth.

190
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: They're funny to read.

191
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: Though they are.

192
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Funny to read, there's a moment in this one I'm

193
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: about to play that when I read the transcript, I

194
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: had to pause. However, when you actually hear it, it

195
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: makes sense. Here on Twin City's News Talk.

196
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: John Brian from Garth Branch.

197
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 8: I I also vividly remember you guys.

198
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 6: Talking about.

199
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 9: This stuff going on in China with the videos of

200
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 9: people falling down in the street, dying.

201
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: And joking about it. I don't remember when that show was,

202
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: but I do remember it, and it's just it's crazy

203
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: how things have changed in these last five six years.

204
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 9: It's astounding how crazy the world has become.

205
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: Great show.

206
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: So in the transcript it says how things have changed

207
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: in the last fifty six years, it was like, I

208
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: haven't been doing the show here that long.

209
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: May I be blessed with that kind of job security.

210
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: It was probably right around this time in twenty nineteen

211
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: when we were having those conversations. Those videos will turned

212
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: out to be bogus, by the way, too. That's what

213
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: that's we That's the weird thing about all of that

214
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: is that, in hindsight, the videos that were coming out

215
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: of China, the commentary about coronavirus coming out of China

216
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: was completely and totally legitimate. The videos that were being

217
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: spread online regarding coronavirus of people passing out and all that,

218
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: those were all those were all fake or from something

219
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: from something else. It was such a weird, weird time.

220
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: And then I remember when it first arrived here on

221
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: the East Coast, and then then we all know what

222
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: happened after that.

223
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: I remember, well, actually my first stint with iHeartRadio was

224
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: around that time. I got hired in December of twenty

225
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: nineteen on the Street team and then oh wow, obviously

226
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: got furloughed and eventually let go. But yeah, I remember

227
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: there was Seattle had like a really big outbreak and

228
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: it was a big deal in Seattle, and I remember

229
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: they were talking about like Amazon's its headquartered there and

230
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: all that. So I remember that time vaguely. It was

231
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: just like you said, such a weird time for all

232
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: of us, such as so dystopian.

233
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Yep, I'll never I and I think I think about

234
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: it almost every drive in as I'm driving through Brooklyn

235
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Center of Brooklyn Park and I go past the home

236
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: store and they had that digital billboard that's up and

237
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: at the time of COVID, that was a CDC warning

238
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: of social distancing.

239
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: Ye wash your hands mask up. And I remember it

240
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: was like we were just like I was living in

241
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: a sci fi movie.

242
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: There's nobody on the roadways. And granted, when I arrive here,

243
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: and I park downstairs. Now, early in the morning, it's

244
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: usually just a couple of cars from the team over

245
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: at you know, it's just Dubs and Chris Carrs vehicles

246
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: that are that are out there. But even then, I mean,

247
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: you'd leave and there weren't any other cars there apart

248
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: from from staff. Now it's a completely different ball game

249
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: because the parking lots typically full, which always stresses me out,

250
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: especially with the with the new ride downstairs.

251
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: It's funny say that I actually have a good story

252
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: for you about about the Kia, if you're interested in

253
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: here and.

254
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: I about my about my my st stairs.

255
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: I almost took it out yesterday.

256
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: What what what happened?

257
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 10: So?

258
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: Okay, our parking lot where employees park is very small,

259
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: by the way, interest and you and I, because we

260
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: get here so early, we get some of the premier spots.

261
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: So as I was leaving, there was this car who

262
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: saw me get into mine and stopped, like just stopped

263
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: right where they were right, But they didn't leave me

264
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: enough space to pull out because I back into my

265
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: parking spot, so I had to do a wide turn

266
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: to get out, and to the next to me was

267
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: this beautiful Kia Stinger, and I realized as I was

268
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: starting to pull out that the car that was waiting

269
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 4: for my spot didn't give me enough space. So I

270
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: was trying to kind of maneuver at and I was like, oh, okay,

271
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: believe I'm getting too close to John's car. And then

272
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: the thing is I had to wait not only for

273
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: that car to back up, but then there was two

274
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: other cars that came in, and so then it was

275
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: the chain of waiting for all of them to back up.

276
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: And of course, because this always happens when you're in

277
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: a rush, I was in a big rush to leave yesterday,

278
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: and I had to wait a few extra minutes for

279
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: everybody to figure it out to like back up, so

280
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: this one car to get my spot. It was just

281
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: a mess.

282
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: You can go.

283
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: Ahead and give me the button.

284
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're fascinating to talk to.

285
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: That was interesting because you're talking about my car. Yeah,

286
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: should have parked next to me, your jee Your jeep

287
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: is pretty big.

288
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: Hey, Look I took it into consideration. I put it

289
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: back in reverse and I backed up, and I said, Okay,

290
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 4: whatever I do, don't touch John's car because I will

291
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: never hear at the end of it.

292
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: It's true absolutely correct.

293
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: That's my only complaint on my new car, which I

294
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: absolutely love. My only complaint is the parking lot and

295
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: the fact that the car is bigger, you know, buy

296
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: a buy a couple of feet than my my key

297
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: of Forte was. And now I've realized, like it is

298
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: a lot harder to navigate in and out, well actually

299
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: out when I leave when people are arriving, because the

300
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: parking garage.

301
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: Is so darn small, and you can't turn out even

302
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: to leave the parking lot onto the city street.

303
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: You have to like, it's a car. It's a gamble, man, Yeah,

304
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: it's a gamble. It is absolutely see. And now I'm

305
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna I really got to pay attention because typically it's

306
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: like conversations like this and that's when bad stuff happens.

307
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad you didn't hit my car. Thanks for being honest.

308
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Let's go here.

309
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 11: You know, a lot of people are talking about increased

310
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 11: taxes and property taxes, and you know one thing that

311
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 11: isn't on a lot of people's radar is at the

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 11: beginning of the year, a new payroll deduction kicks in,

313
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 11: and that's for paid family leaves.

314
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you brought that up because in the

315
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: story about the property taxes rising across Minnesota, this is

316
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: actually highlighted in Scott County. The deputy commissioner excuse me.

317
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Deputy County administrator Dan Lenz has said that when it

318
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: comes to budgeting, they only follow one rule. Don't spike

319
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: the levy. No surprises this year. He says that one

320
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: we have failed that. During a meeting this fall, citing

321
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: the unexpected state and federal cuts, Lenses said the country

322
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: excuse me, The county has to cover about eight hundred

323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: and sixty four thousand dollars in higher costs from the

324
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: state due to the new Paid Family Leave WAW and

325
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: changes to the social services program. Yeah, that pay family

326
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: sickly is absolutely going to be an unmitigated disaster.

327
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 12: Good morning men, happy to his day. So the real

328
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 12: great spot about, you know, having your taxes raise is

329
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 12: knowing that you know, at least they're doing good and

330
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 12: giving them your money away to people who don't pay taxes.

331
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 12: That's that's the part that really gets you feeling warm

332
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 12: and fuzzier on the holidays.

333
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: I think he was being I think he was being sarcastic.

334
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, sometimes it's hard to tell. All right,

335
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to your talk back of the day coming up. Also,

336
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: battle for control of the Minnesota legislature is already well underway,

337
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: as incumbent lawmakers announced their retirements, new candidates kick off

338
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: of their campaigns. You've got DFL state Senator Steve Swazinscheme

339
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: says he's not seeking reelection in twenty twenty six. You

340
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: have Minnesota GOP Senator Rich Dreheim announcing that he will

341
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: be retiring from the Senate. Republican state Representative Jerry me

342
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Munson quickly announced that he would be seeking this seat

343
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: vacated by Dreheim. Also on top of this, you had

344
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: DFL representative and a bit of a shock here Sondra

345
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: a Fight telling constituents that she is not seeking reelection

346
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. I have my speculation about why

347
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: she's not seeking reelection. I will share it with you

348
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: next on Twin Cities News Talk.

349
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: Sean, It's a Kia, not a Mercedes or Masarati.

350
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Relax, I don't care if it's a Saturn, a Buick,

351
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: or a Nissan.

352
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to get their car banged up. Oh I'm sorry,

353
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: I can only be driving a McLaren. If I'm worried

354
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: about having my car banged up, well if.

355
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 4: I if I had known that, I would have just

356
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 4: just completely drove through your Kia and just left.

357
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: Serious.

358
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: Seriously, you're not driving a for raw, You shouldn't care

359
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: about your car. Twin Cities News Talk from the six

360
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: five one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. My name is

361
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: John Justice. In there is Sam. Let's go to your

362
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: talkback of the day. It is brought to you by

363
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: Mini Leaf minileaf dot com, m I N N E

364
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: L e A f dot com.

365
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 6: Hey, the parking lot stories remind me of how I

366
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 6: met my wife. I've actually known her since high school.

367
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 6: She knew of me, I knew of her. One day

368
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 6: she came in crying and she said, hey, Hans, I

369
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 6: am really sorry but I ran into your car. Well,

370
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: I wasn't as smooth as I thought I was, but

371
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: I somehow turned it into a date. Long story short,

372
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 6: and married twenty five years.

373
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: I have a great day. Nice, nice little YadA YadA.

374
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: There you know YadA YadA, married twenty five years.

375
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hans, you're the talkback of the day, brought

376
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: to you by many Leaf. I guess the real question here, though,

377
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: is you know what kind of car were you driving?

378
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, because if it wasn't a Beamer,

379
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if it could really be too concerned

380
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: about it. Based off of that previous Talkbacker just saying

381
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: let's go here, So we mentioned the two state senators

382
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: resigning from the legislature. Also in the House, DFL state

383
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Representative Sondra Feist told constituents that she would not be

384
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: seeking reelection in twenty six. Feist represents it. I always

385
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: get it, Feast or Feist. I think it's Feist. Feisty

386
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: represents thirty nine B includes portions of Hannah, Been, Ramsay,

387
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: Andoka Counties. It is considered a safe DFL seat. So

388
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: why might does she be leaving? Well, she has this

389
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: to say.

390
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: I am so.

391
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Proud of the work that I have done as a

392
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: member of the Minnesota House as an immigration attorney. I

393
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: brought my expertise to the state level enacting laws to

394
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: optimize the interplay between state and federal law to support immigrants.

395
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: Huh So, Feist promoted and.

396
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 1: Voted for sanctuary esque policies, and now that Trump is

397
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: in office and cracking down on illegal immigration. I imagine

398
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: she can very lucratively capitalize on her expertise as an

399
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: immigration authority and probably make a heck of a lot

400
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: more money than she would have serving in the legislature.

401
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: That is just pure speculation on my part, but I

402
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: don't know. The logic seems sound.

403
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 9: And that, folks, is why we have so many banged

404
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 9: up cars in Minnesota, with so many terrible drivers.

405
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: That's a really good point, John.

406
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 13: That last talkback yelling at you or about your not stop

407
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 13: worrying about your Kia reminded me of episodes of Magan

408
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 13: Num p I where Higgins would yell.

409
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: At oh my God, make them thank you as always

410
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: Loup appreciate it.

411
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 8: Hey, John, I can completely understand where you're coming from.

412
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: It's about respect for property. That's right.

413
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 8: People need to respect other people's property at the end

414
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 8: of it, and if by some unfortunate happenstance you damage

415
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 8: someone else's property, you need to make it right.

416
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 7: That's just what you do.

417
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 8: That's the end of it.

418
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 2: That's right. Thank you.

419
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: Can I just say that's exactly what my train of

420
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 4: thought was. That's why I intentionally did not hit your key.

421
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: Just throwing that out there.

422
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has been through a lot already, and I

423
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: haven't had I haven't had it for very long, and

424
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: I finally just got it completed. I finally got the

425
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: missing battle shifter on there. Like it's only been done

426
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: for like a week. That would have been really apropos.

427
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: You should have hit it now. Just the story speaking

428
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: of immigration, after border agents surged to North Carolina, fifteen

429
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: percent of the entire county school population missed a school day.

430
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: There were some twenty nine hundred and thirty five students

431
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: that were absent yesterday. The conservative estimate is that one

432
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: seventh of them of a major southern public school district

433
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: was here illegally. According to Stephen Miller, it's another example

434
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: of how difficult it's going to be to make the

435
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: changes and improve these various issues that have all been

436
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: created by Democrats. We had several talkbacks that rolled in regarding,

437
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, to go ahead and play

438
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: one regarding what we were talking about with the property taxes.

439
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 14: You know, John, I hear what you're saying about all

440
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 14: of the reasons why property taxes are going up. What

441
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 14: I can't stand is why the government doesn't act like

442
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 14: we do when money gets tight, you cut, you cut,

443
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 14: you quit eating out, you don't spend money outside the home,

444
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 14: you cook food, you don't buy certain things, and you

445
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 14: put off stuff in order to afford things. But our

446
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 14: government wants to expand, expand and expand instead of cut anything.

447
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 6: And the fraud.

448
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 15: Hi John former neighbor Mike here in terms of fraud. Well,

449
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 15: who was in charge of the legislature during all of that, Yeah,

450
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 15: rammed down legislation They now sadly departed Melissa Hartman. You

451
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 15: would think she would be deified by now by the media,

452
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 15: or at the very least they'd be using her like

453
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 15: a hammer against Republicans. Yet silence by.

454
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 9: No, didn't Peggy Flanigan say something about there's not enough

455
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 9: mogs in the Senate or whatever?

456
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 10: Are four moms in the Senate with children under the

457
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 10: age of eighteen four? Like, no, wonder we haven't made right,

458
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 10: like enough progress on making childcare affordable, or passing paid

459
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 10: family and medical leave, or increasing the minimum wage right

460
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 10: which has been seventy dollars and twenty five cents at

461
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 10: the federal level and hasn't gone up in you know,

462
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 10: sixteen years.

463
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: This this matters, Yeah, because dads who have children certainly

464
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: can't relate to any of those issues, according to Peggy Flanning,

465
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: and I want an ignorant statement.

466
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the talk back.

467
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 7: Oh that's why mom things don't get done right. Well,

468
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 7: let's extravelate that out. We shouldn't allow people that don't

469
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 7: pay property taxes to increase.

470
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Our property day. I like the I do.

471
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: I do like the I do like the logic regarding

472
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: those that are retiring from the legislature.

473
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 13: All those retirements and everything else. The rets are leaving

474
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 13: the sinking ship.

475
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Nah.

476
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: This is pretty part for the course of this time

477
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: of year when it comes to individuals who are, you know,

478
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: deciding they're not going to seek reelection.

479
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: We're in that cycle right now. None of this is

480
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: hugely surprising.

481
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of momz, though, let's talk about a couple of

482
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: other related issues. First up, put this on our never

483
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: ending parade is stupid. The University of Minnesota's taxpayer funded

484
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: pregnancy training for state workers has recently updated to include

485
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: claims that patients get better care from doctors who share

486
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: their race. This has got to stop, by the way,

487
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean, DEI in and of itself is bad, but

488
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: when you have DEI entering into healthcare. You're going to

489
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: at a minimum, reduce the quality of healthcare, delay needed

490
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: treatment for individuals under this guise of DEI that could

491
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: eventually go and cost lives. The course is titled do

492
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: a That Thing with My Fingers, Dignity and Pregnancy and Childbirth.

493
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: It teaches employees at Minnesota hospitals that they may.

494
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Have implicit or unconscious bias.

495
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: The group's director of Programs, Laura Morgan, told The College

496
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: Fix through an article here from ALF News, that the

497
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: ideologies promoted in this course could negatively impact I was

498
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: just mentioning.

499
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: Patients in the providers.

500
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: The course use is inflammatory and racial lead discriminatory language

501
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: pushes the concept of racial concordance. The theory claims that

502
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: non white patients have better outcomes when cared for by

503
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: non white healthcare providers, but these claims are provably false.

504
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: More incited to.

505
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: Report from earlier this year that claim there is no

506
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: evidence to support the idea of racial concordance.

507
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: This has already gained so much.

508
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Momentum within our public school system. The arguments that have

509
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: been put forward that have been going on for years.

510
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: It is now infected the public education system that the

511
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: students cannot get a proper education unless the teacher at

512
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: the head of the class looks like them. And that's

513
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: bad enough in and of itself, but when you have

514
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: it entering into the healthcare sector, then you're looking at

515
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: real concern. This results in racially divisive ways of thinking,

516
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: which the healthcare industry certainly does not need. Training doctors

517
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: and nurses, but patients get the same message from the media,

518
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: which damages the trust that makes medical care effective. Maintaining

519
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: in a perpetual focus on immutable characteristics characteristics instead of

520
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: seeing patients as unique individuals with unique needs only serves

521
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to erode relationships and jeopardizes the outcomes that dei ideologies

522
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: claim to prove. The concepts are becoming embedded within the

523
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: health care industry. As a result, new healthcare providers are

524
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: entertaining the professional medical world, armed with politicized ideologies that

525
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: they were indoctrinated with while in school. I didn't even

526
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: preread that, and it was right on target with my commentary.

527
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: Gotta love it when that happens, all right, Speaking of babies,

528
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: I sent this to sam as we mentioned. Former producer

529
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: on the show, Samantha now one of the co hosts

530
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: over with Chris Carr and Company on K one O two.

531
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: Today is her due date. She still has not had

532
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: the baby. She's at work today. I told her that

533
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: she should probably call Ice to have them to port

534
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: the baby from herbelly.

535
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh I wish you were here to have to hear

536
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: me say that.

537
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: This is from the New York Post as we wrap

538
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: up the show for a Tuesday, parents should ask babies

539
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: for consent before changing their diapers. According to experts, Come on, John,

540
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding you. Researchers from Australia's Deacon University wrote,

541
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: at the start of a nappy change, ensure your child

542
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: knows what is happening, Get down to their level and

543
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: say you need a nappy change, and then pause so

544
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: they can take this in their offbeat directives for cleaning

545
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: the cunies patuity. According to the New York Post article,

546
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: I did not write this a task the parents often,

547
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: they say, rush just to get done. Doesn't end there

548
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: by the researchers, No, they say, then you can say

549
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: do you want to walk or crawl with me to

550
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: the changing table or would you like me to carry you?

551
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: The specialist seemingly ignoring the newborns can't yet actually chat

552
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: up mom or dad one on one, They say, observe

553
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: their facial expressions and body language to check if they

554
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 1: understand what is happening. The experts further noted that this

555
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: can be a time to help children learn about consent

556
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: and about how their bodies work. The authors of the

557
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: report did not immediately respond to a request by the

558
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Post for comment.

559
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

560
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: They say, however, having hearts to hearts with rugrats every

561
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: time they go number one or two could fall under

562
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: the ever controversial category of gentle parenting.

563
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm familiar with gentle parenting.

564
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: So if my mind jumps to if I was, if

565
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 4: I was following this, this was like a research This

566
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: was the research story.

567
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, was that a Australia university.

568
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: You can tell your kids. You know you're gonna get

569
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 4: an email to provide feedback with a survey. Go ahead

570
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 4: and leave your feedback right by my performance.

571
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: This is so incredibly stupid.

572
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: The new research recommends inviting babies to participate in the

573
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: grooming ritual and asking them questions like can you please

574
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: lift up your bottom so I can slide your nappy out, Okay,

575
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: I just I'd stop.

576
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: I just can't and we have to stop calling it nappy.

577
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

578
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that term. Is that an Australian thing?

579
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: I assume when I say nappy it's usually when I

580
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: get home right around eleven thirty and I take a nap.

581
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: It's time for John to as nappy. It could be

582
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 4: the scientific term. You never know. Perhaps sending Sam wats

583
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: of love from our family to yours. Can't believe you

584
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: took out a deer.

585
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 8: At thirty nine weeks pregnant.

586
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy.

587
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you guys didn't see that on Sam's Facebook page,

588
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: she did. She bagged yourself up a deer at thirty

00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: nine weeks president pregnant. It was pretty awesome. Thank you
