Speaker 1 (00:15):
Our three Twin City's news Talk AM eleven thirty and
one O three five FM from the sixty five to
one Carpet plus Next Day Install Studios.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
My name is John Justice. Yeah, this's the North Side. Chance.
Can anybody say, where's Tim Walls?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I think he's in Germany right now? Like I'm not
even joking something. I think it's a yearly year by
yearly mayor's conference or something to this. He's not in
country right now. I think he traveled to Texas and
then popped a plane overseas. I saw a clip of
him in front of a group of foreigners yesterday, but
(00:55):
again I can't remember which country exactly was. Must be nice. Well,
you know, it is what it is. I'm not going
to give them a hard time for it. I think
it's something that all governors do. You know, it's hard
because you look at it and go, why aren't you
here in the state. And that certainly rings true when
it comes to Walls going and heading down the places
like Texas to talk about education down there. But it's
a little different when these are again events that typically
(01:19):
do occur, and governors go it's something you can really
give them a hard.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Time for I can never figure out why a lot
of people, older people that live in California could stay
in California.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, it's easy because of Disneyland. Maybe that's just me.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
She has more to say with their tax based that
I realized they had some program where they were grandfathered
in where after a certain age and years in your home,
you could not raise their taxes. Any chance of our
totally progressive state doing something like that for us.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Suddenly the squid Lake scene from Star Wars Revenge of
the Sith that comes to mind, where Anakin is sitting
there with Palpatine and Anakin asks him, can I learn
that power? And Palpatine looks at him and goes, not
from a Jedi. Yeah no, not not in this state.
That's not gonna that's not gonna happen. Almost everything can
(02:15):
be referenced back to Star Wars. I just want to
point that out.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The funny thing is he said that Palpatine line way
too fast.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Not from a Jedi.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
We'll work on it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's all right, it's good.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
On the taxes between the city and the county, my
tax rate is going up almost twenty percent. It's unsustainable. Yeah,
I'm not getting a twenty percent raise, So how does
the city and the county get twenty percent more in
(02:53):
my money? It just sucks.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, it does suck, and they get more of that
money because they're just going to take it from you.
And then in turn, individuals are going to have to
budget find out where they're going to go and pull
that money from. And then you have this revolving cycle
with less money going into the economy contributing to less revenue,
(03:22):
bringing us to deficits instead of surpluses. Not like it matters,
because under dfl and Walls's leadership, they just go and
blow all that money and then put everybody in the
position that they're in right now heading into next year.
And just to be clear, when it comes to these
property taxes, they're going up because of inflation and rising costs.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'll talk more about that in a second. Unfunded mandates.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Minnesota counties administering social service programs, and then we know
many of those that turned out to be fraudulent. You
do have changes at the federal level, a reduction in
federal reimbursements that add new administrative requirements and costs that
end up being passed down to counties, devaluation of commercial property.
(04:11):
If you watch a Precarious State, you know the situation
in Minneapolis, the school district levies which we were talking
about last hour, state funding shortfalls.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It all contributes to this.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And there's a ven diagram of the national issues that
the administration under Trump is trying to tackle on what
we're dealing with here in Minnesota. Ryan Wilson made a
really good point, and I remember I.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Can still recall a time before COVID. I will never forget.
It is burned in my memory.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
In November December of twenty nineteen, having conversations sitting on
the other side of the room between myself, my best friend,
former host on the show, Drew, former producer Samantha. By
the way, today's her due date. She is still here.
I just saw her in the hallways. Did you really yep.
(05:09):
We're going to talk about this a little bit later
on in the hour. It is her due date today,
which is pretty amazing. But I remember the conversations that
we had when this thing called coronavirus popped up and
we were talking about what was happening in China, having
no clue whatsoever, and joking about, boy, what would happen
if it happened here. Oh, it'd be like contagent. Wouldn't
(05:29):
that be crazy? The point being is that we endured COVID,
you had this massive influx of federal dollars, and then
when we came out of it, you had this abuse
of the COVID money that took place during the time
(05:50):
of COVID. You had the fraud that took place. You
had the influx of dollars into the economy driving up inflation,
the abuse of this money, the various government entities at
the local and national level that received this COVID money
and then wasted it and then expected that it was
just going to be given back in perpetuity, even though
(06:11):
it was supposed to be specifically for COVID. And so
what ended up happening at the national level, you had
the Biden administration that came in and exacerbated the problem,
made it again dramatically worse, considering the influx of those
coming into the country illegally, which we'll talk about.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Aaron.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Just a moment relating to two senators in the Sanctuary
State Bill author announcing their retirement from the legislature here
in Minnesota. And so now you had the Trump administration
coming in after four years of Biden making the unintended
consequences of the response to the COVID pandemic worse. And
(06:51):
then here in Minnesota you had the same thing happening,
but you had the DFL trifecta in play, so you
had Democrats in total power that went and instead of
heading the problem off that was emerging, they just built
on it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
A culture of corruption and fraud.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That that really exploded under the COVID pandemic and specifically
looking and feeding our future, that ended up feeding something else.
It fed fraud into a host of other programs that
the DFL passed during the time when they had all
the power, when they shut out Republicans when they wouldn't
(07:33):
hear their arguments, and they rammed forward with their plans.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And so now what are we dealing with? What we're
dealing with.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The ramifications of that. And it's not going to be
a quick fix. There is going to be pain involved,
and it's mostly going to occur in your pocketbook. And
hopefully we get new leadership next year and we retain
the leadership in DC. As Trump continues to move and
(08:05):
his administration continue to move to go and course correct
all of what's been taking place. These things take time
weeding out the fraud and snap weeding out the fraud
in our healthcare as the Democrats push back against it
over and over and over again in their one hundred
percent opposition to everything that Trump does.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But here in Minnesota, we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The same thing. There's not going to be any quick
fixes to this. The pathway to a fix will have
to occur next year during the elections, a change in
the governor's office, Republicans grabbing control in the legislature. That's
your first step towards change, and then it's going to
(08:49):
be a long process to undo the damage that they did.
It's a lot faster and easier to bring about the
corruption and do the damage, to cause harm to the
taxpayers here in Minnesota, that's easy. That can happen quick,
and it happened quick under the DFL trifecta. Removing it
that's something entirely different and a lot harder to do,
(09:13):
which is why Republicans have got to put their petty
differences aside and work as hard as they possibly can
to make sure as many people are out to vote.
When it comes time to vote. Quit trying to debate
with Democrats over these issues. It doesn't matter. Do not
try to act like democrats. Don't try to appeal to
(09:34):
the moderates. Figure out every single way that you can
make sure that anybody who's legally able to vote as
a Republican goes and votes on election day. I know
a lot of you guys have received those flyers for
the absentee the permanent to absentee ballot requests, and I
thought that this was coming from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not. That's actually a.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Trump supporter initiative out of Colorado. You see the Trump
administration and Trump supporters and those that understand exactly what
I'm talking about right now, they're making moves now to
try to establish a Republican voter base to make sure
people can go and vote. That's why you're seeing those
requests to be added to the permanent absentee ballot list,
(10:19):
because the Trump administration and those that are working on
elections heading into next year know that they've got to
figure out every single way to go and take advantage
of the current system and the way that we vote
so the Republicans can maintain power and then bring about
further election integrity. All Right, I'm running along. We'll get
(10:39):
back to your talkbacks coming up in just a moment.
Here on Twin Cities News Talk, I'll let you know
the state senators and the author of the sanctuary we
build that'll be retiring from the legislature. Plus, got a
couple of items relating to pregnancy. We talked about Sam
a moment ago, but a ridiculous, ridiculous pregnancy core side
(11:00):
of the University of Minnesota that you're not gonna want
to miss. It's on our never ending Parade's stupid this
morning here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven thirty
and one on three five FM.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This is the Twin Cities news talk station.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I read the transcripts on the iHeartRadio app talkbacks brought
to you by Lyndahl Realty.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You gotta do that because many of you have a
potty mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
They're funny to read.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Though they are.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Funny to read, there's a moment in this one I'm
about to play that when I read the transcript, I
had to pause. However, when you actually hear it, it
makes sense. Here on Twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
John Brian from Garth Branch.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
I I also vividly remember you guys.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Talking about.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
This stuff going on in China with the videos of
people falling down in the street, dying.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And joking about it. I don't remember when that show was,
but I do remember it, and it's just it's crazy
how things have changed in these last five six years.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
It's astounding how crazy the world has become.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Great show.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So in the transcript it says how things have changed
in the last fifty six years, it was like, I
haven't been doing the show here that long.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
May I be blessed with that kind of job security.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It was probably right around this time in twenty nineteen
when we were having those conversations. Those videos will turned
out to be bogus, by the way, too. That's what
that's we That's the weird thing about all of that
is that, in hindsight, the videos that were coming out
of China, the commentary about coronavirus coming out of China
was completely and totally legitimate. The videos that were being
(12:50):
spread online regarding coronavirus of people passing out and all that,
those were all those were all fake or from something
from something else. It was such a weird, weird time.
And then I remember when it first arrived here on
the East Coast, and then then we all know what
happened after that.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I remember, well, actually my first stint with iHeartRadio was
around that time. I got hired in December of twenty
nineteen on the Street team and then oh wow, obviously
got furloughed and eventually let go. But yeah, I remember
there was Seattle had like a really big outbreak and
it was a big deal in Seattle, and I remember
(13:27):
they were talking about like Amazon's its headquartered there and
all that. So I remember that time vaguely. It was
just like you said, such a weird time for all
of us, such as so dystopian.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yep, I'll never I and I think I think about
it almost every drive in as I'm driving through Brooklyn
Center of Brooklyn Park and I go past the home
store and they had that digital billboard that's up and
at the time of COVID, that was a CDC warning
of social distancing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Ye wash your hands mask up. And I remember it
was like we were just like I was living in
a sci fi movie.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
There's nobody on the roadways. And granted, when I arrive here,
and I park downstairs. Now, early in the morning, it's
usually just a couple of cars from the team over
at you know, it's just Dubs and Chris Carrs vehicles
that are that are out there. But even then, I mean,
you'd leave and there weren't any other cars there apart
from from staff. Now it's a completely different ball game
(14:27):
because the parking lots typically full, which always stresses me out,
especially with the with the new ride downstairs.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It's funny say that I actually have a good story
for you about about the Kia, if you're interested in
here and.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I about my about my my st stairs.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I almost took it out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
What what what happened?
Speaker 10 (14:47):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, our parking lot where employees park is very small,
by the way, interest and you and I, because we
get here so early, we get some of the premier spots.
So as I was leaving, there was this car who
saw me get into mine and stopped, like just stopped
right where they were right, But they didn't leave me
enough space to pull out because I back into my
(15:09):
parking spot, so I had to do a wide turn
to get out, and to the next to me was
this beautiful Kia Stinger, and I realized as I was
starting to pull out that the car that was waiting
for my spot didn't give me enough space. So I
was trying to kind of maneuver at and I was like, oh, okay,
believe I'm getting too close to John's car. And then
(15:31):
the thing is I had to wait not only for
that car to back up, but then there was two
other cars that came in, and so then it was
the chain of waiting for all of them to back up.
And of course, because this always happens when you're in
a rush, I was in a big rush to leave yesterday,
and I had to wait a few extra minutes for
everybody to figure it out to like back up, so
this one car to get my spot. It was just
a mess.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You can go.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Ahead and give me the button.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, you're fascinating to talk to.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That was interesting because you're talking about my car. Yeah,
should have parked next to me, your jee Your jeep
is pretty big.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Hey, Look I took it into consideration. I put it
back in reverse and I backed up, and I said, Okay,
whatever I do, don't touch John's car because I will
never hear at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It's true absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's my only complaint on my new car, which I
absolutely love. My only complaint is the parking lot and
the fact that the car is bigger, you know, buy
a buy a couple of feet than my my key
of Forte was. And now I've realized, like it is
a lot harder to navigate in and out, well actually
out when I leave when people are arriving, because the
(16:35):
parking garage.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Is so darn small, and you can't turn out even
to leave the parking lot onto the city street.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You have to like, it's a car. It's a gamble, man, Yeah,
it's a gamble. It is absolutely see. And now I'm
gonna I really got to pay attention because typically it's
like conversations like this and that's when bad stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I'm glad you didn't hit my car. Thanks for being honest.
Let's go here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
You know, a lot of people are talking about increased
taxes and property taxes, and you know one thing that
isn't on a lot of people's radar is at the
beginning of the year, a new payroll deduction kicks in,
and that's for paid family leaves.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm glad that you brought that up because in the
story about the property taxes rising across Minnesota, this is
actually highlighted in Scott County. The deputy commissioner excuse me.
Deputy County administrator Dan Lenz has said that when it
comes to budgeting, they only follow one rule. Don't spike
the levy. No surprises this year. He says that one
(17:35):
we have failed that. During a meeting this fall, citing
the unexpected state and federal cuts, Lenses said the country
excuse me, The county has to cover about eight hundred
and sixty four thousand dollars in higher costs from the
state due to the new Paid Family Leave WAW and
changes to the social services program. Yeah, that pay family
(17:59):
sickly is absolutely going to be an unmitigated disaster.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Good morning men, happy to his day. So the real
great spot about, you know, having your taxes raise is
knowing that you know, at least they're doing good and
giving them your money away to people who don't pay taxes.
That's that's the part that really gets you feeling warm
and fuzzier on the holidays.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think he was being I think he was being sarcastic.
Sometimes it's you know, sometimes it's hard to tell. All right,
we'll get to your talk back of the day coming up. Also,
battle for control of the Minnesota legislature is already well underway,
as incumbent lawmakers announced their retirements, new candidates kick off
of their campaigns. You've got DFL state Senator Steve Swazinscheme
(18:45):
says he's not seeking reelection in twenty twenty six. You
have Minnesota GOP Senator Rich Dreheim announcing that he will
be retiring from the Senate. Republican state Representative Jerry me
Munson quickly announced that he would be seeking this seat
vacated by Dreheim. Also on top of this, you had
DFL representative and a bit of a shock here Sondra
(19:10):
a Fight telling constituents that she is not seeking reelection
in twenty twenty six. I have my speculation about why
she's not seeking reelection. I will share it with you
next on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Sean, It's a Kia, not a Mercedes or Masarati.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Relax, I don't care if it's a Saturn, a Buick,
or a Nissan.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Nobody wants to get their car banged up. Oh I'm sorry,
I can only be driving a McLaren. If I'm worried
about having my car banged up, well if.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I if I had known that, I would have just
just completely drove through your Kia and just left.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Serious.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Seriously, you're not driving a for raw, You shouldn't care
about your car. Twin Cities News Talk from the six
five one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. My name is
John Justice. In there is Sam. Let's go to your
talkback of the day. It is brought to you by
(20:18):
Mini Leaf minileaf dot com, m I N N E
L e A f dot com.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Hey, the parking lot stories remind me of how I
met my wife. I've actually known her since high school.
She knew of me, I knew of her. One day
she came in crying and she said, hey, Hans, I
am really sorry but I ran into your car. Well,
I wasn't as smooth as I thought I was, but
(20:44):
I somehow turned it into a date. Long story short,
and married twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I have a great day. Nice, nice little YadA YadA.
There you know YadA YadA, married twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Thank you, Hans, you're the talkback of the day, brought
to you by many Leaf. I guess the real question here, though,
is you know what kind of car were you driving?
I mean, you know, because if it wasn't a Beamer,
I don't know if it could really be too concerned
about it. Based off of that previous Talkbacker just saying
let's go here, So we mentioned the two state senators
(21:17):
resigning from the legislature. Also in the House, DFL state
Representative Sondra Feist told constituents that she would not be
seeking reelection in twenty six. Feist represents it. I always
get it, Feast or Feist. I think it's Feist. Feisty
represents thirty nine B includes portions of Hannah, Been, Ramsay,
Andoka Counties. It is considered a safe DFL seat. So
(21:41):
why might does she be leaving? Well, she has this
to say.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I am so.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Proud of the work that I have done as a
member of the Minnesota House as an immigration attorney. I
brought my expertise to the state level enacting laws to
optimize the interplay between state and federal law to support immigrants.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Huh So, Feist promoted and.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Voted for sanctuary esque policies, and now that Trump is
in office and cracking down on illegal immigration. I imagine
she can very lucratively capitalize on her expertise as an
immigration authority and probably make a heck of a lot
more money than she would have serving in the legislature.
That is just pure speculation on my part, but I
(22:30):
don't know. The logic seems sound.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
And that, folks, is why we have so many banged
up cars in Minnesota, with so many terrible drivers.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That's a really good point, John.
Speaker 13 (22:51):
That last talkback yelling at you or about your not stop
worrying about your Kia reminded me of episodes of Magan
Num p I where Higgins would yell.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
At oh my God, make them thank you as always
Loup appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Hey, John, I can completely understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's about respect for property. That's right.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
People need to respect other people's property at the end
of it, and if by some unfortunate happenstance you damage
someone else's property, you need to make it right.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
That's just what you do.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
That's the end of it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
That's right. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Can I just say that's exactly what my train of
thought was. That's why I intentionally did not hit your key.
Just throwing that out there.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, he has been through a lot already, and I
haven't had I haven't had it for very long, and
I finally just got it completed. I finally got the
missing battle shifter on there. Like it's only been done
for like a week. That would have been really apropos.
You should have hit it now. Just the story speaking
of immigration, after border agents surged to North Carolina, fifteen
(24:02):
percent of the entire county school population missed a school day.
There were some twenty nine hundred and thirty five students
that were absent yesterday. The conservative estimate is that one
seventh of them of a major southern public school district
was here illegally. According to Stephen Miller, it's another example
(24:24):
of how difficult it's going to be to make the
changes and improve these various issues that have all been
created by Democrats. We had several talkbacks that rolled in regarding,
as a matter of fact, to go ahead and play
one regarding what we were talking about with the property taxes.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
You know, John, I hear what you're saying about all
of the reasons why property taxes are going up. What
I can't stand is why the government doesn't act like
we do when money gets tight, you cut, you cut,
you quit eating out, you don't spend money outside the home,
you cook food, you don't buy certain things, and you
(25:05):
put off stuff in order to afford things. But our
government wants to expand, expand and expand instead of cut anything.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
And the fraud.
Speaker 15 (25:14):
Hi John former neighbor Mike here in terms of fraud. Well,
who was in charge of the legislature during all of that, Yeah,
rammed down legislation They now sadly departed Melissa Hartman. You
would think she would be deified by now by the media,
or at the very least they'd be using her like
(25:35):
a hammer against Republicans. Yet silence by.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
No, didn't Peggy Flanigan say something about there's not enough
mogs in the Senate or whatever?
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Are four moms in the Senate with children under the
age of eighteen four? Like, no, wonder we haven't made right,
like enough progress on making childcare affordable, or passing paid
family and medical leave, or increasing the minimum wage right
which has been seventy dollars and twenty five cents at
(26:13):
the federal level and hasn't gone up in you know,
sixteen years.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
This this matters, Yeah, because dads who have children certainly
can't relate to any of those issues, according to Peggy Flanning,
and I want an ignorant statement.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Let's get back to the talk back.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Oh that's why mom things don't get done right. Well,
let's extravelate that out. We shouldn't allow people that don't
pay property taxes to increase.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Our property day. I like the I do.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I do like the I do like the logic regarding
those that are retiring from the legislature.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
All those retirements and everything else. The rets are leaving
the sinking ship.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
This is pretty part for the course of this time
of year when it comes to individuals who are, you know,
deciding they're not going to seek reelection.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
We're in that cycle right now. None of this is
hugely surprising.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Speaking of momz, though, let's talk about a couple of
other related issues. First up, put this on our never
ending parade is stupid. The University of Minnesota's taxpayer funded
pregnancy training for state workers has recently updated to include
claims that patients get better care from doctors who share
(27:30):
their race. This has got to stop, by the way,
I mean, DEI in and of itself is bad, but
when you have DEI entering into healthcare. You're going to
at a minimum, reduce the quality of healthcare, delay needed
treatment for individuals under this guise of DEI that could
(27:52):
eventually go and cost lives. The course is titled do
a That Thing with My Fingers, Dignity and Pregnancy and Childbirth.
It teaches employees at Minnesota hospitals that they may.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Have implicit or unconscious bias.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The group's director of Programs, Laura Morgan, told The College
Fix through an article here from ALF News, that the
ideologies promoted in this course could negatively impact I was
just mentioning.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Patients in the providers.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The course use is inflammatory and racial lead discriminatory language
pushes the concept of racial concordance. The theory claims that
non white patients have better outcomes when cared for by
non white healthcare providers, but these claims are provably false.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
More incited to.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Report from earlier this year that claim there is no
evidence to support the idea of racial concordance.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
This has already gained so much.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Momentum within our public school system. The arguments that have
been put forward that have been going on for years.
It is now infected the public education system that the
students cannot get a proper education unless the teacher at
the head of the class looks like them. And that's
bad enough in and of itself, but when you have
(29:12):
it entering into the healthcare sector, then you're looking at
real concern. This results in racially divisive ways of thinking,
which the healthcare industry certainly does not need. Training doctors
and nurses, but patients get the same message from the media,
which damages the trust that makes medical care effective. Maintaining
(29:38):
in a perpetual focus on immutable characteristics characteristics instead of
seeing patients as unique individuals with unique needs only serves
to erode relationships and jeopardizes the outcomes that dei ideologies
claim to prove. The concepts are becoming embedded within the
(29:59):
health care industry. As a result, new healthcare providers are
entertaining the professional medical world, armed with politicized ideologies that
they were indoctrinated with while in school. I didn't even
preread that, and it was right on target with my commentary.
Gotta love it when that happens, all right, Speaking of babies,
(30:25):
I sent this to sam as we mentioned. Former producer
on the show, Samantha now one of the co hosts
over with Chris Carr and Company on K one O two.
Today is her due date. She still has not had
the baby. She's at work today. I told her that
she should probably call Ice to have them to port
the baby from herbelly.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh I wish you were here to have to hear
me say that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
This is from the New York Post as we wrap
up the show for a Tuesday, parents should ask babies
for consent before changing their diapers. According to experts, Come on, John,
I'm not even kidding you. Researchers from Australia's Deacon University wrote,
(31:20):
at the start of a nappy change, ensure your child
knows what is happening, Get down to their level and
say you need a nappy change, and then pause so
they can take this in their offbeat directives for cleaning
the cunies patuity. According to the New York Post article,
I did not write this a task the parents often,
(31:45):
they say, rush just to get done. Doesn't end there
by the researchers, No, they say, then you can say
do you want to walk or crawl with me to
the changing table or would you like me to carry you?
The specialist seemingly ignoring the newborns can't yet actually chat
up mom or dad one on one, They say, observe
(32:08):
their facial expressions and body language to check if they
understand what is happening. The experts further noted that this
can be a time to help children learn about consent
and about how their bodies work. The authors of the
report did not immediately respond to a request by the
(32:30):
Post for comment.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
They say, however, having hearts to hearts with rugrats every
time they go number one or two could fall under
the ever controversial category of gentle parenting.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I don't know if I'm familiar with gentle parenting.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
So if my mind jumps to if I was, if
I was following this, this was like a research This
was the research story.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, was that a Australia university.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
You can tell your kids. You know you're gonna get
an email to provide feedback with a survey. Go ahead
and leave your feedback right by my performance.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
This is so incredibly stupid.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The new research recommends inviting babies to participate in the
grooming ritual and asking them questions like can you please
lift up your bottom so I can slide your nappy out, Okay,
I just I'd stop.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I just can't and we have to stop calling it nappy.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I'm not familiar with that term. Is that an Australian thing?
I assume when I say nappy it's usually when I
get home right around eleven thirty and I take a nap.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
It's time for John to as nappy. It could be
the scientific term. You never know. Perhaps sending Sam wats
of love from our family to yours. Can't believe you
took out a deer.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
At thirty nine weeks pregnant.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, if you guys didn't see that on Sam's Facebook page,
she did. She bagged yourself up a deer at thirty
nine weeks president pregnant. It was pretty awesome. Thank you
so much for hanging out on the show this morning.
If you missed any portion of today's show, be sure
to check out the podcast that'll be made available shortly
up on the iHeart Radio app tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
On the show from Alpha News, Jenna Globe will be
joining us. Looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Also, Representative Tom Emmer will be on right around seven
to twenty tomorrow. Lots to discuss on the federal level,
with Tom Emmer also on the show. We didn't get
a chance to cover this today, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Is gen Z eating fast food.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
We've got Wendy's closing hundreds of restaurants here in Minnesota,
at least six Hardy locations or closing as well. We'll
talk about that. As Trump yesterday addressed to McDonald's franchise
owners focusing on driving down health food costs. That's all
coming up tomorrow. Leave us an email, Justice at iHeartRadio
dot com, or talkback.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I'll talk to you guys tomorrow morning. Have a great one.
Speaker 9 (34:56):
Back
Our three Twin City's news Talk AM eleven thirty and
one O three five FM from the sixty five to
one Carpet plus Next Day Install Studios.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
My name is John Justice. Yeah, this's the North Side. Chance.
Can anybody say, where's Tim Walls?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I think he's in Germany right now? Like I'm not
even joking something. I think it's a yearly year by
yearly mayor's conference or something to this. He's not in
country right now. I think he traveled to Texas and
then popped a plane overseas. I saw a clip of
him in front of a group of foreigners yesterday, but
(00:55):
again I can't remember which country exactly was. Must be nice. Well,
you know, it is what it is. I'm not going
to give them a hard time for it. I think
it's something that all governors do. You know, it's hard
because you look at it and go, why aren't you
here in the state. And that certainly rings true when
it comes to Walls going and heading down the places
like Texas to talk about education down there. But it's
a little different when these are again events that typically
(01:19):
do occur, and governors go it's something you can really
give them a hard.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Time for I can never figure out why a lot
of people, older people that live in California could stay
in California.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, it's easy because of Disneyland. Maybe that's just me.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
She has more to say with their tax based that
I realized they had some program where they were grandfathered
in where after a certain age and years in your home,
you could not raise their taxes. Any chance of our
totally progressive state doing something like that for us.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Suddenly the squid Lake scene from Star Wars Revenge of
the Sith that comes to mind, where Anakin is sitting
there with Palpatine and Anakin asks him, can I learn
that power? And Palpatine looks at him and goes, not
from a Jedi. Yeah no, not not in this state.
That's not gonna that's not gonna happen. Almost everything can
(02:15):
be referenced back to Star Wars. I just want to
point that out.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The funny thing is he said that Palpatine line way
too fast.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Not from a Jedi.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
We'll work on it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's all right, it's good.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
On the taxes between the city and the county, my
tax rate is going up almost twenty percent. It's unsustainable. Yeah,
I'm not getting a twenty percent raise, So how does
the city and the county get twenty percent more in
(02:53):
my money? It just sucks.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, it does suck, and they get more of that
money because they're just going to take it from you.
And then in turn, individuals are going to have to
budget find out where they're going to go and pull
that money from. And then you have this revolving cycle
with less money going into the economy contributing to less revenue,
(03:22):
bringing us to deficits instead of surpluses. Not like it matters,
because under dfl and Walls's leadership, they just go and
blow all that money and then put everybody in the
position that they're in right now heading into next year.
And just to be clear, when it comes to these
property taxes, they're going up because of inflation and rising costs.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'll talk more about that in a second. Unfunded mandates.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Minnesota counties administering social service programs, and then we know
many of those that turned out to be fraudulent. You
do have changes at the federal level, a reduction in
federal reimbursements that add new administrative requirements and costs that
end up being passed down to counties, devaluation of commercial property.
(04:11):
If you watch a Precarious State, you know the situation
in Minneapolis, the school district levies which we were talking
about last hour, state funding shortfalls.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It all contributes to this.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And there's a ven diagram of the national issues that
the administration under Trump is trying to tackle on what
we're dealing with here in Minnesota. Ryan Wilson made a
really good point, and I remember I.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Can still recall a time before COVID. I will never forget.
It is burned in my memory.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
In November December of twenty nineteen, having conversations sitting on
the other side of the room between myself, my best friend,
former host on the show, Drew, former producer Samantha. By
the way, today's her due date. She is still here.
I just saw her in the hallways. Did you really yep.
(05:09):
We're going to talk about this a little bit later
on in the hour. It is her due date today,
which is pretty amazing. But I remember the conversations that
we had when this thing called coronavirus popped up and
we were talking about what was happening in China, having
no clue whatsoever, and joking about, boy, what would happen
if it happened here. Oh, it'd be like contagent. Wouldn't
(05:29):
that be crazy? The point being is that we endured COVID,
you had this massive influx of federal dollars, and then
when we came out of it, you had this abuse
of the COVID money that took place during the time
(05:50):
of COVID. You had the fraud that took place. You
had the influx of dollars into the economy driving up inflation,
the abuse of this money, the various government entities at
the local and national level that received this COVID money
and then wasted it and then expected that it was
just going to be given back in perpetuity, even though
(06:11):
it was supposed to be specifically for COVID. And so
what ended up happening at the national level, you had
the Biden administration that came in and exacerbated the problem,
made it again dramatically worse, considering the influx of those
coming into the country illegally, which we'll talk about.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Aaron.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Just a moment relating to two senators in the Sanctuary
State Bill author announcing their retirement from the legislature here
in Minnesota. And so now you had the Trump administration
coming in after four years of Biden making the unintended
consequences of the response to the COVID pandemic worse. And
(06:51):
then here in Minnesota you had the same thing happening,
but you had the DFL trifecta in play, so you
had Democrats in total power that went and instead of
heading the problem off that was emerging, they just built
on it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
A culture of corruption and fraud.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That that really exploded under the COVID pandemic and specifically
looking and feeding our future, that ended up feeding something else.
It fed fraud into a host of other programs that
the DFL passed during the time when they had all
the power, when they shut out Republicans when they wouldn't
(07:33):
hear their arguments, and they rammed forward with their plans.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And so now what are we dealing with? What we're
dealing with.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The ramifications of that. And it's not going to be
a quick fix. There is going to be pain involved,
and it's mostly going to occur in your pocketbook. And
hopefully we get new leadership next year and we retain
the leadership in DC. As Trump continues to move and
(08:05):
his administration continue to move to go and course correct
all of what's been taking place. These things take time
weeding out the fraud and snap weeding out the fraud
in our healthcare as the Democrats push back against it
over and over and over again in their one hundred
percent opposition to everything that Trump does.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But here in Minnesota, we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The same thing. There's not going to be any quick
fixes to this. The pathway to a fix will have
to occur next year during the elections, a change in
the governor's office, Republicans grabbing control in the legislature. That's
your first step towards change, and then it's going to
(08:49):
be a long process to undo the damage that they did.
It's a lot faster and easier to bring about the
corruption and do the damage, to cause harm to the
taxpayers here in Minnesota, that's easy. That can happen quick,
and it happened quick under the DFL trifecta. Removing it
that's something entirely different and a lot harder to do,
(09:13):
which is why Republicans have got to put their petty
differences aside and work as hard as they possibly can
to make sure as many people are out to vote.
When it comes time to vote. Quit trying to debate
with Democrats over these issues. It doesn't matter. Do not
try to act like democrats. Don't try to appeal to
(09:34):
the moderates. Figure out every single way that you can
make sure that anybody who's legally able to vote as
a Republican goes and votes on election day. I know
a lot of you guys have received those flyers for
the absentee the permanent to absentee ballot requests, and I
thought that this was coming from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not. That's actually a.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Trump supporter initiative out of Colorado. You see the Trump
administration and Trump supporters and those that understand exactly what
I'm talking about right now, they're making moves now to
try to establish a Republican voter base to make sure
people can go and vote. That's why you're seeing those
requests to be added to the permanent absentee ballot list,
(10:19):
because the Trump administration and those that are working on
elections heading into next year know that they've got to
figure out every single way to go and take advantage
of the current system and the way that we vote
so the Republicans can maintain power and then bring about
further election integrity. All Right, I'm running along. We'll get
(10:39):
back to your talkbacks coming up in just a moment.
Here on Twin Cities News Talk, I'll let you know
the state senators and the author of the sanctuary we
build that'll be retiring from the legislature. Plus, got a
couple of items relating to pregnancy. We talked about Sam
a moment ago, but a ridiculous, ridiculous pregnancy core side
(11:00):
of the University of Minnesota that you're not gonna want
to miss. It's on our never ending Parade's stupid this
morning here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven thirty
and one on three five FM.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This is the Twin Cities news talk station.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I read the transcripts on the iHeartRadio app talkbacks brought
to you by Lyndahl Realty.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You gotta do that because many of you have a
potty mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
They're funny to read.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Though they are.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Funny to read, there's a moment in this one I'm
about to play that when I read the transcript, I
had to pause. However, when you actually hear it, it
makes sense. Here on Twin City's News Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
John Brian from Garth Branch.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
I I also vividly remember you guys.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Talking about.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
This stuff going on in China with the videos of
people falling down in the street, dying.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And joking about it. I don't remember when that show was,
but I do remember it, and it's just it's crazy
how things have changed in these last five six years.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
It's astounding how crazy the world has become.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Great show.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So in the transcript it says how things have changed
in the last fifty six years, it was like, I
haven't been doing the show here that long.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
May I be blessed with that kind of job security.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It was probably right around this time in twenty nineteen
when we were having those conversations. Those videos will turned
out to be bogus, by the way, too. That's what
that's we That's the weird thing about all of that
is that, in hindsight, the videos that were coming out
of China, the commentary about coronavirus coming out of China
was completely and totally legitimate. The videos that were being
(12:50):
spread online regarding coronavirus of people passing out and all that,
those were all those were all fake or from something
from something else. It was such a weird, weird time.
And then I remember when it first arrived here on
the East Coast, and then then we all know what
happened after that.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I remember, well, actually my first stint with iHeartRadio was
around that time. I got hired in December of twenty
nineteen on the Street team and then oh wow, obviously
got furloughed and eventually let go. But yeah, I remember
there was Seattle had like a really big outbreak and
it was a big deal in Seattle, and I remember
(13:27):
they were talking about like Amazon's its headquartered there and
all that. So I remember that time vaguely. It was
just like you said, such a weird time for all
of us, such as so dystopian.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yep, I'll never I and I think I think about
it almost every drive in as I'm driving through Brooklyn
Center of Brooklyn Park and I go past the home
store and they had that digital billboard that's up and
at the time of COVID, that was a CDC warning
of social distancing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Ye wash your hands mask up. And I remember it
was like we were just like I was living in
a sci fi movie.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
There's nobody on the roadways. And granted, when I arrive here,
and I park downstairs. Now, early in the morning, it's
usually just a couple of cars from the team over
at you know, it's just Dubs and Chris Carrs vehicles
that are that are out there. But even then, I mean,
you'd leave and there weren't any other cars there apart
from from staff. Now it's a completely different ball game
(14:27):
because the parking lots typically full, which always stresses me out,
especially with the with the new ride downstairs.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It's funny say that I actually have a good story
for you about about the Kia, if you're interested in
here and.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I about my about my my st stairs.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I almost took it out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
What what what happened?
Speaker 10 (14:47):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, our parking lot where employees park is very small,
by the way, interest and you and I, because we
get here so early, we get some of the premier spots.
So as I was leaving, there was this car who
saw me get into mine and stopped, like just stopped
right where they were right, But they didn't leave me
enough space to pull out because I back into my
(15:09):
parking spot, so I had to do a wide turn
to get out, and to the next to me was
this beautiful Kia Stinger, and I realized as I was
starting to pull out that the car that was waiting
for my spot didn't give me enough space. So I
was trying to kind of maneuver at and I was like, oh, okay,
believe I'm getting too close to John's car. And then
(15:31):
the thing is I had to wait not only for
that car to back up, but then there was two
other cars that came in, and so then it was
the chain of waiting for all of them to back up.
And of course, because this always happens when you're in
a rush, I was in a big rush to leave yesterday,
and I had to wait a few extra minutes for
everybody to figure it out to like back up, so
this one car to get my spot. It was just
a mess.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You can go.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Ahead and give me the button.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, you're fascinating to talk to.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That was interesting because you're talking about my car. Yeah,
should have parked next to me, your jee Your jeep
is pretty big.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Hey, Look I took it into consideration. I put it
back in reverse and I backed up, and I said, Okay,
whatever I do, don't touch John's car because I will
never hear at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It's true absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's my only complaint on my new car, which I
absolutely love. My only complaint is the parking lot and
the fact that the car is bigger, you know, buy
a buy a couple of feet than my my key
of Forte was. And now I've realized, like it is
a lot harder to navigate in and out, well actually
out when I leave when people are arriving, because the
(16:35):
parking garage.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Is so darn small, and you can't turn out even
to leave the parking lot onto the city street.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You have to like, it's a car. It's a gamble, man, Yeah,
it's a gamble. It is absolutely see. And now I'm
gonna I really got to pay attention because typically it's
like conversations like this and that's when bad stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I'm glad you didn't hit my car. Thanks for being honest.
Let's go here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
You know, a lot of people are talking about increased
taxes and property taxes, and you know one thing that
isn't on a lot of people's radar is at the
beginning of the year, a new payroll deduction kicks in,
and that's for paid family leaves.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm glad that you brought that up because in the
story about the property taxes rising across Minnesota, this is
actually highlighted in Scott County. The deputy commissioner excuse me.
Deputy County administrator Dan Lenz has said that when it
comes to budgeting, they only follow one rule. Don't spike
the levy. No surprises this year. He says that one
(17:35):
we have failed that. During a meeting this fall, citing
the unexpected state and federal cuts, Lenses said the country
excuse me, The county has to cover about eight hundred
and sixty four thousand dollars in higher costs from the
state due to the new Paid Family Leave WAW and
changes to the social services program. Yeah, that pay family
(17:59):
sickly is absolutely going to be an unmitigated disaster.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Good morning men, happy to his day. So the real
great spot about, you know, having your taxes raise is
knowing that you know, at least they're doing good and
giving them your money away to people who don't pay taxes.
That's that's the part that really gets you feeling warm
and fuzzier on the holidays.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think he was being I think he was being sarcastic.
Sometimes it's you know, sometimes it's hard to tell. All right,
we'll get to your talk back of the day coming up. Also,
battle for control of the Minnesota legislature is already well underway,
as incumbent lawmakers announced their retirements, new candidates kick off
of their campaigns. You've got DFL state Senator Steve Swazinscheme
(18:45):
says he's not seeking reelection in twenty twenty six. You
have Minnesota GOP Senator Rich Dreheim announcing that he will
be retiring from the Senate. Republican state Representative Jerry me
Munson quickly announced that he would be seeking this seat
vacated by Dreheim. Also on top of this, you had
DFL representative and a bit of a shock here Sondra
(19:10):
a Fight telling constituents that she is not seeking reelection
in twenty twenty six. I have my speculation about why
she's not seeking reelection. I will share it with you
next on Twin Cities News Talk.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Sean, It's a Kia, not a Mercedes or Masarati.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Relax, I don't care if it's a Saturn, a Buick,
or a Nissan.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Nobody wants to get their car banged up. Oh I'm sorry,
I can only be driving a McLaren. If I'm worried
about having my car banged up, well if.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I if I had known that, I would have just
just completely drove through your Kia and just left.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Serious.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Seriously, you're not driving a for raw, You shouldn't care
about your car. Twin Cities News Talk from the six
five one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. My name is
John Justice. In there is Sam. Let's go to your
talkback of the day. It is brought to you by

Mini Leaf minileaf dot com, m I N N E

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Hey, the parking lot stories remind me of how I
met my wife. I've actually known her since high school.
She knew of me, I knew of her. One day
she came in crying and she said, hey, Hans, I
am really sorry but I ran into your car. Well,
I wasn't as smooth as I thought I was, but
(20:44):
I somehow turned it into a date. Long story short,
and married twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I have a great day. Nice, nice little YadA YadA.
There you know YadA YadA, married twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Thank you, Hans, you're the talkback of the day, brought
to you by many Leaf. I guess the real question here, though,
is you know what kind of car were you driving?
I mean, you know, because if it wasn't a Beamer,
I don't know if it could really be too concerned
about it. Based off of that previous Talkbacker just saying
let's go here, So we mentioned the two state senators
(21:17):
resigning from the legislature. Also in the House, DFL state
Representative Sondra Feist told constituents that she would not be
seeking reelection in twenty six. Feist represents it. I always
get it, Feast or Feist. I think it's Feist. Feisty
represents thirty nine B includes portions of Hannah, Been, Ramsay,
Andoka Counties. It is considered a safe DFL seat. So
(21:41):
why might does she be leaving? Well, she has this
to say.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I am so.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Proud of the work that I have done as a
member of the Minnesota House as an immigration attorney. I
brought my expertise to the state level enacting laws to
optimize the interplay between state and federal law to support immigrants.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Huh So, Feist promoted and.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Voted for sanctuary esque policies, and now that Trump is
in office and cracking down on illegal immigration. I imagine
she can very lucratively capitalize on her expertise as an
immigration authority and probably make a heck of a lot
more money than she would have serving in the legislature.
That is just pure speculation on my part, but I
(22:30):
don't know. The logic seems sound.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
And that, folks, is why we have so many banged
up cars in Minnesota, with so many terrible drivers.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That's a really good point, John.
Speaker 13 (22:51):
That last talkback yelling at you or about your not stop
worrying about your Kia reminded me of episodes of Magan
Num p I where Higgins would yell.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
At oh my God, make them thank you as always
Loup appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Hey, John, I can completely understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's about respect for property. That's right.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
People need to respect other people's property at the end
of it, and if by some unfortunate happenstance you damage
someone else's property, you need to make it right.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
That's just what you do.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
That's the end of it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
That's right. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Can I just say that's exactly what my train of
thought was. That's why I intentionally did not hit your key.
Just throwing that out there.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, he has been through a lot already, and I
haven't had I haven't had it for very long, and
I finally just got it completed. I finally got the
missing battle shifter on there. Like it's only been done
for like a week. That would have been really apropos.
You should have hit it now. Just the story speaking
of immigration, after border agents surged to North Carolina, fifteen
(24:02):
percent of the entire county school population missed a school day.
There were some twenty nine hundred and thirty five students
that were absent yesterday. The conservative estimate is that one
seventh of them of a major southern public school district
was here illegally. According to Stephen Miller, it's another example
(24:24):
of how difficult it's going to be to make the
changes and improve these various issues that have all been
created by Democrats. We had several talkbacks that rolled in regarding,
as a matter of fact, to go ahead and play
one regarding what we were talking about with the property taxes.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
You know, John, I hear what you're saying about all
of the reasons why property taxes are going up. What
I can't stand is why the government doesn't act like
we do when money gets tight, you cut, you cut,
you quit eating out, you don't spend money outside the home,
you cook food, you don't buy certain things, and you
(25:05):
put off stuff in order to afford things. But our
government wants to expand, expand and expand instead of cut anything.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
And the fraud.
Speaker 15 (25:14):
Hi John former neighbor Mike here in terms of fraud. Well,
who was in charge of the legislature during all of that, Yeah,
rammed down legislation They now sadly departed Melissa Hartman. You
would think she would be deified by now by the media,
or at the very least they'd be using her like
(25:35):
a hammer against Republicans. Yet silence by.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
No, didn't Peggy Flanigan say something about there's not enough
mogs in the Senate or whatever?
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Are four moms in the Senate with children under the
age of eighteen four? Like, no, wonder we haven't made right,
like enough progress on making childcare affordable, or passing paid
family and medical leave, or increasing the minimum wage right
which has been seventy dollars and twenty five cents at
(26:13):
the federal level and hasn't gone up in you know,
sixteen years.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
This this matters, Yeah, because dads who have children certainly
can't relate to any of those issues, according to Peggy Flanning,
and I want an ignorant statement.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Let's get back to the talk back.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Oh that's why mom things don't get done right. Well,
let's extravelate that out. We shouldn't allow people that don't
pay property taxes to increase.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Our property day. I like the I do.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I do like the I do like the logic regarding
those that are retiring from the legislature.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
All those retirements and everything else. The rets are leaving
the sinking ship.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
This is pretty part for the course of this time
of year when it comes to individuals who are, you know,
deciding they're not going to seek reelection.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
We're in that cycle right now. None of this is
hugely surprising.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Speaking of momz, though, let's talk about a couple of
other related issues. First up, put this on our never
ending parade is stupid. The University of Minnesota's taxpayer funded
pregnancy training for state workers has recently updated to include
claims that patients get better care from doctors who share
(27:30):
their race. This has got to stop, by the way,
I mean, DEI in and of itself is bad, but
when you have DEI entering into healthcare. You're going to
at a minimum, reduce the quality of healthcare, delay needed
treatment for individuals under this guise of DEI that could
(27:52):
eventually go and cost lives. The course is titled do
a That Thing with My Fingers, Dignity and Pregnancy and Childbirth.
It teaches employees at Minnesota hospitals that they may.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Have implicit or unconscious bias.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The group's director of Programs, Laura Morgan, told The College
Fix through an article here from ALF News, that the
ideologies promoted in this course could negatively impact I was
just mentioning.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Patients in the providers.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The course use is inflammatory and racial lead discriminatory language
pushes the concept of racial concordance. The theory claims that
non white patients have better outcomes when cared for by
non white healthcare providers, but these claims are provably false.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
More incited to.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Report from earlier this year that claim there is no
evidence to support the idea of racial concordance.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
This has already gained so much.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Momentum within our public school system. The arguments that have
been put forward that have been going on for years.
It is now infected the public education system that the
students cannot get a proper education unless the teacher at
the head of the class looks like them. And that's
bad enough in and of itself, but when you have
(29:12):
it entering into the healthcare sector, then you're looking at
real concern. This results in racially divisive ways of thinking,
which the healthcare industry certainly does not need. Training doctors
and nurses, but patients get the same message from the media,
which damages the trust that makes medical care effective. Maintaining
(29:38):
in a perpetual focus on immutable characteristics characteristics instead of
seeing patients as unique individuals with unique needs only serves
to erode relationships and jeopardizes the outcomes that dei ideologies
claim to prove. The concepts are becoming embedded within the
(29:59):
health care industry. As a result, new healthcare providers are
entertaining the professional medical world, armed with politicized ideologies that
they were indoctrinated with while in school. I didn't even
preread that, and it was right on target with my commentary.
Gotta love it when that happens, all right, Speaking of babies,
(30:25):
I sent this to sam as we mentioned. Former producer
on the show, Samantha now one of the co hosts
over with Chris Carr and Company on K one O two.
Today is her due date. She still has not had
the baby. She's at work today. I told her that
she should probably call Ice to have them to port
the baby from herbelly.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh I wish you were here to have to hear
me say that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
This is from the New York Post as we wrap
up the show for a Tuesday, parents should ask babies
for consent before changing their diapers. According to experts, Come on, John,
I'm not even kidding you. Researchers from Australia's Deacon University wrote,
(31:20):
at the start of a nappy change, ensure your child
knows what is happening, Get down to their level and
say you need a nappy change, and then pause so
they can take this in their offbeat directives for cleaning
the cunies patuity. According to the New York Post article,
I did not write this a task the parents often,
(31:45):
they say, rush just to get done. Doesn't end there
by the researchers, No, they say, then you can say
do you want to walk or crawl with me to
the changing table or would you like me to carry you?
The specialist seemingly ignoring the newborns can't yet actually chat
up mom or dad one on one, They say, observe
(32:08):
their facial expressions and body language to check if they
understand what is happening. The experts further noted that this
can be a time to help children learn about consent
and about how their bodies work. The authors of the
report did not immediately respond to a request by the
(32:30):
Post for comment.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
They say, however, having hearts to hearts with rugrats every
time they go number one or two could fall under
the ever controversial category of gentle parenting.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I don't know if I'm familiar with gentle parenting.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
So if my mind jumps to if I was, if
I was following this, this was like a research This
was the research story.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, was that a Australia university.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
You can tell your kids. You know you're gonna get
an email to provide feedback with a survey. Go ahead
and leave your feedback right by my performance.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
This is so incredibly stupid.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The new research recommends inviting babies to participate in the
grooming ritual and asking them questions like can you please
lift up your bottom so I can slide your nappy out, Okay,
I just I'd stop.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I just can't and we have to stop calling it nappy.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I'm not familiar with that term. Is that an Australian thing?
I assume when I say nappy it's usually when I
get home right around eleven thirty and I take a nap.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
It's time for John to as nappy. It could be
the scientific term. You never know. Perhaps sending Sam wats
of love from our family to yours. Can't believe you
took out a deer.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
At thirty nine weeks pregnant.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, if you guys didn't see that on Sam's Facebook page,
she did. She bagged yourself up a deer at thirty
nine weeks president pregnant. It was pretty awesome. Thank you
so much for hanging out on the show this morning.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
