- 0:07Speaker 2: Hey Wednesday morning, April the twelfth, As we continue on
- 0:12Speaker 2: with our show and a couple of things that are
- 0:16Speaker 2: going on, Doctor jim KINI first of all going to
- 0:19Speaker 2: be heready thirty and I want to get in some
- 0:21Speaker 2: big news what's going on internationally now? As we have
- 0:26Speaker 2: been waiting for yet another attack on Iran by the
- 0:31Speaker 2: United States, the President keeps on delaying the attack based
- 0:37Speaker 2: on the fact that, Okay, we're gonna have a ceasefire.
- 0:40Speaker 2: We're just on the edge of negotiating. We're almost there.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's going to be over in a couple of days.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Just relax and we're ending we're entering into negotiations, serious negotiations.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Okay. So the delay over the last couple of weeks have.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Been we're doing it this weekend, We're doing it on Tuesday,
- 1:04Speaker 2: there's a cease fire, Okay, we're going to attack on Wednesday.
- 1:09Speaker 2: We're going to attack next week. And there was the
- 1:14Speaker 2: attack that was supposed to happen at six o'clock and
- 1:16Speaker 2: the last few claims, the last few threats have been
- 1:20Speaker 2: that the United States is going to take out every power,
- 1:25Speaker 2: power plant, power infrastructure in Iran and take out every
- 1:29Speaker 2: single bridge. That'll show him. Okay, so last night, and
- 1:33Speaker 2: what did I say yesterday? One of two things are
- 1:35Speaker 2: going to happen. Number one thing that's going to happen
- 1:39Speaker 2: is the president has no choice. I mean, at some point,
- 1:43Speaker 2: credibility is so limited it was going to disappear. Not
- 1:48Speaker 2: just limited, his credibility just disappears and people have to
- 1:52Speaker 2: turn around and go even if supporters go, come on, guys,
- 1:55Speaker 2: you know how many times can you do this? And
- 1:58Speaker 2: I said, he has no choice, but he has to
- 2:01Speaker 2: go in because this was the last delay unless he doesn't,
- 2:07Speaker 2: unless he decides there's going to be.
- 2:09Speaker 3: One more delay.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Yep, a few hours before the attack was going to commence.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Yet another delay.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Now, the good news for the administration, this is open ended,
- 2:22Speaker 2: so he doesn't have to say it's happening Tuesday, is
- 2:25Speaker 2: happening Wednesday, it's happening Saturday, It's happening at the end
- 2:29Speaker 2: of next week.
- 2:30Speaker 3: It's happening only when.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Once they open up, If they don't open up, the
- 2:34Speaker 2: strait of horror moves, it's going to happen. It's well,
- 2:37Speaker 2: the straight of horror moves is still closed. But it's
- 2:40Speaker 2: not happening. And so where's the credibility? Well, not a lot.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And by the way, we're not talking about, you know,
- 2:47Speaker 2: the politics of this stuff at all. I mean, you
- 2:50Speaker 2: can be on one end, you can be in favor
- 2:51Speaker 2: of the attacks, and I'm one of the few people
- 2:53Speaker 2: that are in favor. Not the way it's done, I mean,
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'm moving away from that one. But the basic premise
- 2:59Speaker 2: about allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon, yeah, you
- 3:03Speaker 2: can't do it. So my complaint is twofold number one
- 3:08Speaker 2: is the way he has done it very arbitrary. He
- 3:10Speaker 2: decided on his own, not contacting or letting the NATO
- 3:15Speaker 2: allies know what's going on, not talking to Congress, just
- 3:21Speaker 2: ordering the attacks. And so that's one issue. And the
- 3:26Speaker 2: other issue is everything he said that is going to
- 3:31Speaker 2: happen did not happen. So where's the credibility. And here's
- 3:35Speaker 2: the reason why. It has nothing to do with the peace.
- 3:39Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with the fact that he
- 3:41Speaker 2: is just oscillating and going back and forth and up
- 3:45Speaker 2: and down. It's the president of Pakistan asked him to
- 3:50Speaker 2: please don't begin the attack. So it's not his decision.
- 3:55Speaker 1: He is.
- 3:55Speaker 2: What he's doing is accommodating the President of Pakistan, who
- 3:59Speaker 2: is such a good and he's doing the president of favor.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So we're holding off now to help his issue, to
- 4:08Speaker 2: help his credibility. There's no more it's going to happen
- 4:12Speaker 2: on Tuesday. The attack is going to happen Wednesday next week,
- 4:14Speaker 2: over the weekend and pulls back. It's open ended now,
- 4:19Speaker 2: and the President is not saying the straight of Horne
- 4:22Speaker 2: moves has to be opened.
- 4:23Speaker 3: That's sort of gone.
- 4:25Speaker 2: And giving up the nuclear weapons that is at this
- 4:29Speaker 2: point not the major premise now. It's the reason we're
- 4:36Speaker 2: holding off or he's holding off the attack is that
- 4:40Speaker 2: the Iranians have not responded to the points that the
- 4:47Speaker 2: President is making to the demands. And since they have
- 4:50Speaker 2: not responded, we're not going to attack until or unless
- 4:56Speaker 2: we look at their response. Now, if they don't respond,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen. Oh well, the
- 5:03Speaker 2: straight of Horror moose still stays closed. Matter of fact, two
- 5:06Speaker 2: ships were attacked by Iranian forces. You still have the
- 5:11Speaker 2: enriched uranium that is sitting there, You still have the
- 5:14Speaker 2: drone manufacturing, you still have the ballistic missiles, you still
- 5:18Speaker 2: have the attack on the other Gulf states.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Right now, there is sort of.
- 5:23Speaker 2: A ceasefire going on, really just kind of very fragile ceasefire.
- 5:31Speaker 2: And the other thing Lebanon, there is a tentative ceasefire
- 5:34Speaker 2: between Israel and Lebanon. Because that was one of the
- 5:37Speaker 2: other points. Is Iran doesn't talk about any kind of
- 5:42Speaker 2: peace deal until Israel stars bombing Iran. And then the
- 5:46Speaker 2: problem is, and I think he's right on this one,
- 5:48Speaker 2: is who do you talk to? Who in Iran do
- 5:53Speaker 2: you talk to? The leadership is so fractured that it
- 6:01Speaker 2: makes absolutely no sense. Now let's get into what's going
- 6:07Speaker 2: on federally. As you know, of course, corporations can be sued,
- 6:11Speaker 2: they can be all day long. But corporations organizations can
- 6:16Speaker 2: also be criminally charged, like Pacific Gas and Electric in
- 6:21Speaker 2: terms of the fires, criminally charged and held liable. They
- 6:25Speaker 2: can't go to jail, but they can sure get hit
- 6:27Speaker 2: with all kinds of fines. So what the federal grand jury,
- 6:32Speaker 2: a federal grand jury did is charge the Southern Poverty
- 6:36Speaker 2: Laws Center for wire fraud, false statements, conspiracy to commit
- 6:39Speaker 2: money laundry. Now this is the one that floors me
- 6:44Speaker 2: in terms of what's going on, because the government is
- 6:48Speaker 2: charging the SPLC with secretly funding more than three million
- 6:53Speaker 2: dollars in donated funds to individuals associated with violent extremist groups,
- 6:59Speaker 2: the Q coluts Play and the Area Nation, the National
- 7:02Speaker 2: Socialist Party of America. And here's the premise. First of all,
- 7:06Speaker 2: grand jury in Alabama return an indictment eleven counts of
- 7:10Speaker 2: wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, conspiracy
- 7:14Speaker 2: to commit concealment, and money laundering. Okay, what they do
- 7:19Speaker 2: is they take donations because it is a five oh
- 7:24Speaker 2: one to three c nonprofit, and what they do is
- 7:28Speaker 2: fight the Q clus Klan and racism throughout the United States.
- 7:34Speaker 2: That's what they do. It's part and parcel of their mandate.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And what the government is saying is they when they
- 7:43Speaker 2: infiltrated the KKK and other organizations with paid informants, they
- 7:48Speaker 2: paid people to infiltrate. The government is saying that that
- 7:53Speaker 2: is fraud because the donations came from people that didn't
- 7:58Speaker 2: know that people were paid to infiltrate. In other words,
- 8:06Speaker 2: they had a duty to tell their donors that they
- 8:08Speaker 2: were infiltrating the KKK, and because they didn't, fraud was committed.
- 8:15Speaker 2: They lied to their donors and their donors were giving
- 8:19Speaker 2: donations and they were using those donations for at tax
- 8:26Speaker 2: refund or for their tax benefit basically you know, a
- 8:31Speaker 2: benefit tax situation.
- 8:34Speaker 3: The FBI got involved.
- 8:36Speaker 2: The Internal Revenue Criminal Investigation got involved, and Acting Attorney
- 8:41Speaker 2: General Todd Blanche as well as Cash Battel said the
- 8:46Speaker 2: SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.
- 8:54Speaker 3: In other words, they are on the same level as.
- 8:56Speaker 2: The KKK by paying people to infiltrate the KKK.
- 9:02Speaker 3: That's how nuts this has become. Now.
- 9:06Speaker 2: The SPLC is a very liberal organization ostensibly is fighting
- 9:13Speaker 2: the federal government, the Trump administration. I don't know for
- 9:15Speaker 2: a fact, but it certainly makes sense because why would
- 9:18Speaker 2: the government go after them.
- 9:21Speaker 3: And it is known for.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And this is according to its mission statement look at
- 9:26Speaker 2: the website to be a catalyst for racial justice in
- 9:29Speaker 2: the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to
- 9:33Speaker 2: dismantle white supremacy and strengthen international movements. And part of
- 9:38Speaker 2: it because they want to get in, find out, investigate
- 9:42Speaker 2: what's going on, and deal with it. And they fight
- 9:45Speaker 2: for voting rights, they fight for anti discrimination issues, and
- 9:51Speaker 2: because unbeknownst to the donors, some of the donated money
- 9:56Speaker 2: was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of
- 9:59Speaker 2: racial groups at the same time they were denouncing those
- 10:02Speaker 2: racial groups. In reality, the SPLC is on the same
- 10:08Speaker 2: level as the q Klux Klan. They're lying about fighting
- 10:13Speaker 2: the q klex plan Klan, but what they're doing is
- 10:17Speaker 2: in fact promoting it.
- 10:19Speaker 3: That's like the NAACP.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Taking donated money infiltrating the q Klux Klan, pretending to
- 10:31Speaker 2: fight racism, but really join the organizations that promote racism
- 10:36Speaker 2: because there really are an anti black organization. They're kidding you,
- 10:40Speaker 2: they're lying to you, and that's what the SPLC is doing.
- 10:45Speaker 2: How nuts is this criminal investigation an indictment?
- 10:50Speaker 3: Well, you can.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Anybody can get an indictment. To not get an indictment
- 10:53Speaker 2: is almost impossible in front of a grand jury. Keep
- 10:56Speaker 2: in mind, you can't defend yourself in front of a
- 10:58Speaker 2: grand jury. You can't bring an attorney in front of
- 11:00Speaker 2: a grand jury. It's simply the government saying, this is
- 11:03Speaker 2: the evidence we have, and we'd like to go forward
- 11:06Speaker 2: and go to trial, and the grand jury has nothing
- 11:08Speaker 2: to refute that nothing. So ninety nine point nine percent
- 11:13Speaker 2: of the time the indictment goes through. But it's reached
- 11:17Speaker 2: that point that anti racist groups infiltrating racist groups, using
- 11:24Speaker 2: dominated money to do that, because that's where they get
- 11:27Speaker 2: all their money. You know, they don't have any bakeries, right,
- 11:32Speaker 2: They're not selling product, they don't have merch they don't
- 11:34Speaker 2: have T shirts. What they do is they fight for
- 11:39Speaker 2: civil rights. But in reality they're not. In reality they
- 11:42Speaker 2: are part of the problem. They are pro racism. They're
- 11:47Speaker 2: on the same level as a KKK. You think that's nuts.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Is that really where we've come to. I mean, I'm stunned.
- 11:59Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say about this other
- 12:02Speaker 2: than I'm stunned. This is breathtaking. Okay, Now, pickleball and
- 12:09Speaker 2: California fraud in the hospice industry. This has to do
- 12:13Speaker 2: with an appearance before the House Ways and Means Committee
- 12:16Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill. A lady with the name of Lynn Iani.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Didn't know she was actually dying, well actually she wasn't.
- 12:27Speaker 2: She was ostensibly in La County hospice care facility. Uh
- 12:31Speaker 2: until she made a claim for a pickleball injury. You know,
- 12:36Speaker 2: her shoulder went out, and so she made a claim
- 12:39Speaker 2: as to her Medicare claim and they said, no, no,
- 12:44Speaker 2: you're you're in hospice. You know, how can you be
- 12:48Speaker 2: in hospice and dying and still play pickleball? So it
- 12:52Speaker 2: was a fake claim, stolen doctor's identities, and she was
- 12:57Speaker 2: not the only victim of California hospital hospit scammers and
- 13:02Speaker 2: her situation. Here's the issue on this one is that.
- 13:09Speaker 3: The fraud happens.
- 13:10Speaker 2: We know that the administration is absolutely right about the
- 13:15Speaker 2: incredible fraud going on and pointing out to California as
- 13:20Speaker 2: a poster child of fraud. And it is certainly because
- 13:23Speaker 2: of numbers of nothing else in terms of percentages per capita.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I don't know, but certainly the President is not wrong
- 13:30Speaker 2: when he says all of this.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Fraud is happening.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Here is the problem is that the Congress has known
- 13:38Speaker 2: about this for years and has done nothing about this.
- 13:44Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, a Times investigation revealed that older Americans
- 13:48Speaker 2: were being targeted by these providers who would build Medicare
- 13:51Speaker 2: for hospice services and equipment for patients who said they
- 13:55Speaker 2: were terminy ill but they were not. And so she
- 13:59Speaker 2: was then i'd care for that shoulder injury because she
- 14:03Speaker 2: was in hospice and her health care provided told her
- 14:07Speaker 2: that Medicare would not cover treatment because she was in hospice.
- 14:12Speaker 2: And she said, they stole my Medicare ID number, they
- 14:17Speaker 2: enrolled me in hospice without my knowledge, and she was
- 14:20Speaker 2: told she had to continue to pay premiums if she
- 14:22Speaker 2: wanted coverage at all.
- 14:24Speaker 3: So what does she do.
- 14:25Speaker 2: She tracks down the hospice facility, She tracks down the
- 14:28Speaker 2: doctors who signed off on the fake care through their
- 14:33Speaker 2: national provider identifier. It turned out to be a Santa
- 14:35Speaker 2: Monica surgeon and his identity was stolen and had no
- 14:39Speaker 2: connection to the hospice. The whole thing was fraud, and
- 14:43Speaker 2: so she reached out of federal regulators who did nothing.
- 14:48Speaker 2: And so she told the lawmakers, it's evidence of systematic
- 14:52Speaker 2: failure that allows fraud to occur and it just goes
- 14:57Speaker 2: on and it is huge.
- 15:00Speaker 3: She testified.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Right as Trump administration has begun focusing its attention on
- 15:04Speaker 2: fraud in the state, which it should. And once this
- 15:09Speaker 2: first came to light in twenty twenty, one of California's
- 15:12Speaker 2: first moves put a moratorium on issuing new hospice licenses
- 15:16Speaker 2: to give officials time to lengthen the oversight, and the
- 15:19Speaker 2: problem is the licensing of these hospices. The head of
- 15:24Speaker 2: the organization who licenses, they couldn't keep them there because
- 15:30Speaker 2: they kept on dying in hospice, so they had to
- 15:33Speaker 2: go for a new one every few months. Now years later,
- 15:39Speaker 2: the regulations that were enacted or the ones that were
- 15:44Speaker 2: pasted have not been enacted. Doctor Oz, administrator of the
- 15:49Speaker 2: Centers for Medicare and Medical Services, former TV personality at
- 15:52Speaker 2: Doctor Osho.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Visited LA in January and came in with a new.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Aggressive approach and he has seen four hundred and fifty
- 16:01Speaker 2: hospices suspended for payment system and according to Sheila Clark,
- 16:08Speaker 2: president of Chief Executive officer of the California Hospice and
- 16:12Speaker 2: Palliative Care Association, she since died by the way, because
- 16:16Speaker 2: as I said, they don't last very long because they're
- 16:19Speaker 2: in hospice, you know, I mean, they grab people with
- 16:22Speaker 2: personal experience.
- 16:24Speaker 3: She said.
- 16:25Speaker 2: When these scammers come online, there's not much you can
- 16:28Speaker 2: do about it except do an investigation. And they're warning
- 16:33Speaker 2: signs there. They're there for the government to see a
- 16:38Speaker 2: provider clustering at common addresses, rapid enrollment, crowd grown and
- 16:44Speaker 2: saturated markets, repeated use of the same medical directors or
- 16:48Speaker 2: certifying physicians, unverifiable contact information or invalid ones, excessive or
- 16:55Speaker 2: exclusively for medicare, billing in high manicare advantage markets, and
- 17:02Speaker 2: building patterns that diverge sharply from reality.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Where you have a.
- 17:10Speaker 2: There you look at an average of what these hospices charge,
- 17:15Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you have one or two
- 17:17Speaker 2: that are through the roof, and that's another sign. So
- 17:20Speaker 2: there you go, pickleball, fraud, and medicare all in one
- 17:26Speaker 2: fell swoop. Okay, Now, I don't know if you've ever
- 17:30Speaker 2: been to Sequoia National Park and the giant sequoia is.
- 17:36Speaker 2: They are unbelievable. They are hundreds of feet high. They're
- 17:40Speaker 2: enormous in terms of girth, what their diameter is. Some
- 17:45Speaker 2: of them are three thousand years old. I mean, imagine this,
- 17:49Speaker 2: They were a thousand years old when Jesus was walking around.
- 17:53Speaker 2: I mean, these magnificent trees, these redwood trees and as,
- 17:59Speaker 2: actually redwoods and sequoia as are cousins, but same concept.
- 18:02Speaker 2: And I remember the first time I saw a giant sequoia.
- 18:05Speaker 2: I went, oh, my god, how many redwood decks do
- 18:09Speaker 2: you think one of these could make?
- 18:12Speaker 3: Just what was impressive? The length or the girth, both.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Were very very good. So here's what's going on. Unfortunately,
- 18:23Speaker 2: the wildfires. Twenty percent of the trees, the sequoias, have
- 18:30Speaker 2: burnt and they have been destroyed, and it's pretty scary
- 18:36Speaker 2: because there's nothing nothing like these trees. And scientists and
- 18:41Speaker 2: park managers are saying, my god, we do not want
- 18:45Speaker 2: this ever again. We don't want these fires.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Now.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Fires are important because that's how they germinate. They need fires.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Those cones, those pine cones don't open up until there's
- 18:55Speaker 2: a fire there, but not these extraordinary wildfires.
- 18:59Speaker 3: They go away beyond that.
- 19:01Speaker 2: And so they're trying to figure out and what can
- 19:04Speaker 2: you do well more controlled burns. They've planted almost seven
- 19:09Speaker 2: hundred thousand the seedlings in an area that burnt severely,
- 19:14Speaker 2: but it takes hundreds of years for these things to
- 19:18Speaker 2: grow to full maturity. My parents had a house which
- 19:24Speaker 2: I lived in many years ago, and I planted one
- 19:27Speaker 2: of these and when we moved, they had it for
- 19:31Speaker 2: twenty The house had it for twenty years, and there
- 19:33Speaker 2: it was. It was already eighty feet tall. I mean,
- 19:37Speaker 2: it was just extraordinary, and I think it's still there.
- 19:41Speaker 2: It probably is probably going to tear up the foundation
- 19:44Speaker 2: and destroy the house, because that's the other thing they do.
- 19:48Speaker 2: So are they doing any better? Well, they're trying to.
- 19:53Speaker 2: There's the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition with eight primary members.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Another nine organizations provide scientific research, funding and support. And
- 20:06Speaker 2: who is not in favor of saving these trees. They
- 20:11Speaker 2: were decimated by logging in the eighteen hundreds and early
- 20:15Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds, but everything that remains are on public land
- 20:20Speaker 2: Yosemite National Park, the Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park, and
- 20:24Speaker 2: a few others.
- 20:26Speaker 3: And I didn't know this. You know, the reddish bark
- 20:29Speaker 3: can grow.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Up to two feet thick, which is why it sustains
- 20:34Speaker 2: fire so well, because they need fire. But the way
- 20:38Speaker 2: it works as natural fires, and the other way that
- 20:41Speaker 2: the seedlings were released and trees were able, or the
- 20:47Speaker 2: seeds were released and seed lins came out of it.
- 20:49Speaker 2: The Indians used controlled burning. I don't know if you
- 20:53Speaker 2: knew that the Indians Native Americans actually used control burning
- 20:58Speaker 2: to deal with the environment around there. So you know,
- 21:06Speaker 2: I mean, there's not more to say. Except that twenty
- 21:09Speaker 2: percent of already been decimated of the existing forests, and
- 21:13Speaker 2: to leave those or see those disappear is extraordinary. Unfortunately,
- 21:19Speaker 2: if you ever have a chance to go into one
- 21:22Speaker 2: of these forests, I mean it's like you're in a cathedral.
- 21:26Speaker 2: I mean, it really is extraordinary. This is when you
- 21:30Speaker 2: look at nature and it really hits you. What doesn't
- 21:34Speaker 2: hit me because I just look at the big trees,
- 21:36Speaker 2: but it hits you in a huge, huge way. Don't
- 21:40Speaker 2: let them go away? Please, please please.
