Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / 9-23: Will New Moms In This State Push Back On Mandatory Home Visits?
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: If I had said to you there's a state in
- 0:06Speaker 1: our nation that wants to institute mandatory home visits for
- 0:12Speaker 1: all new moms, and in this state it's 68,000 a year.
- 0:14Speaker 2: That's what they count it as. Mandatory home visits for
- 0:17Speaker 2: all new moms to check in on the mom and
- 0:20Speaker 2: baby and call out a wellness program. Which state would
- 0:23Speaker 2: you guess? Which one? Most people, if they hadn't heard
- 0:26Speaker 2: the story, would say California. Maybe Oregon.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Nope.
- 0:30Speaker 2: The leader in the clubhouse... is Massachusetts. Insanity Massachusetts part 1095.
- 0:36Speaker 2: And I know it seems like every other episode these
- 0:40Speaker 2: days on this live stream and podcast, I'm talking about
- 0:43Speaker 2: Massachusetts these days. It's not because my timeline is filled
- 0:46Speaker 2: with Massachusetts-based things because of my ties there. That's where
- 0:49Speaker 2: I grew up and all the sports stuff I follow. No,
- 0:52Speaker 2: it's true. Everybody's timeline is filled with crazy things out
- 0:55Speaker 2: of the state of Massachusetts now, which is why it's relevant.
- 0:57Speaker 2: It's not just that I have an interest in it.
- 1:00Speaker 2: It's become most likely the the most insane state. I
- 1:04Speaker 2: think even more so than California. California at least has
- 1:07Speaker 2: a shot. The likelihood of them turning things around is
- 1:11Speaker 2: very slim, but they have a shot. Massachusetts, the way
- 1:14Speaker 2: the electoral lines and congressional lines and districts are drawn,
- 1:20Speaker 2: not much. So it's up to the people to push
- 1:24Speaker 2: back on this. And already it's starting to work a
- 1:26Speaker 2: little bit. But that's the question. Will new moms, because
- 1:30Speaker 2: it comes down to them, will new moms in the
- 1:32Speaker 2: state of Massachusetts tolerate mandatory home visits for their supposed welfare?
- 1:40Speaker 2: We shall see. There's already a little pushback. That's the
- 1:42Speaker 2: good news so far, but that's what they're doing. We'll
- 1:44Speaker 2: get into it. Thanks for finding me. I appreciate you.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Wicked Radio livestream, 8 a.m.-ish, Monday through Friday, X, YouTube, Facebook,
- 1:51Speaker 2: all those channels, and, of course, the replay on there
- 1:53Speaker 2: as well as the audio podcast posted shortly after the livestream. Well,
- 1:57Speaker 2: let's get into it now. Mandatory home. What? This is
- 2:01Speaker 2: the clip, the exact clip from Governor Maura Healey that
- 2:04Speaker 2: has everyone saying exactly that. What? Now, keep in mind
- 2:08Speaker 2: the wording on this. I'll probably play this a couple
- 2:10Speaker 2: of times because it's really important, exactly what she says.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Everybody in the state, when you have a baby, you're
- 2:15Speaker 3: going to have a home visit. You're going to have
- 2:17Speaker 3: a home visit within days, weeks, and that will be
- 2:22Speaker 3: an opportunity for a health care provider to make an assessment.
- 2:26Speaker 2: You will have a home visit. This was days ago.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Let's go to the details on this. This is what
- 2:34Speaker 2: they're seeking. I'm actually kind of amazed they weren't asking
- 2:37Speaker 2: for more money. This will probably balloon. But Healy is
- 2:40Speaker 2: seeking $ 2 million to expand the state's Welcome Family program.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Keep in mind the name because that's what it always is.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Right?
- 2:48Speaker 2: That's the trick. It's always a very pleasant name. Who
- 2:53Speaker 2: would actually protest anything or be against anything called a
- 2:57Speaker 2: welcome family program? Anyway, 3,000 births annually to all 68,000
- 3:04Speaker 2: births statewide. That's what they estimated at. Home visits voluntary now,
- 3:10Speaker 2: but as you just heard, this proposal didn't start out
- 3:14Speaker 2: voluntary at all. You will get a home visit. That's
- 3:17Speaker 2: what was said there.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Now for some background, and this goes to that part
- 3:21Speaker 2: I was just talking about where I'm always talking about
- 3:23Speaker 2: Massachusetts these days. It's not because of my interest in there.
- 3:27Speaker 2: It's not because of my family there, my roots there,
- 3:29Speaker 2: my sports teams there, culturally there. It's not. It's because
- 3:32Speaker 2: they're making so much news these days because of these insane,
- 3:36Speaker 2: tyrannical programs. First and foremost, let's go to this guy.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Now this is the more extreme pushback on this whole thing.
- 3:43Speaker 2: This is Ben Ferguson. He's a Fox News contributor. He's
- 3:45Speaker 2: a political analyst. I think he's got a radio show too.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Here's his take on this and exactly what he calls it.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I wanted to start here for, you know, the raw
- 3:55Speaker 2: description of exactly what this is because he says it
- 3:58Speaker 2: pretty directly, and you may or may not agree with him.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Here he is.
- 4:01Speaker 5: Same state.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Any connection in all of this?
- 4:04Speaker 2: I mean, this governor can't miss the timing on the
- 4:07Speaker 2: postpartum psychosis argument in that mistrial.
- 4:11Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think communists always take and I say
- 4:14Speaker 5: this is a communist action by this governor. They they
- 4:16Speaker 5: never miss an opportunity to take action and justify it
- 4:19Speaker 5: by seeing a case exactly like what you just mentioned.
- 4:21Speaker 5: There's no way she says this or does this. or
- 4:24Speaker 5: expands this government program if she didn't think she had
- 4:26Speaker 5: the political willpower now to say, see, if you would
- 4:29Speaker 5: just let the government come into your house every time
- 4:32Speaker 5: someone has a child, then we could have stopped this
- 4:34Speaker 5: from happening possibly while we're also just looking at your
- 4:37Speaker 5: overall life and how you're living it. If you are
- 4:39Speaker 5: a citizen in this state, you should be raising hell
- 4:42Speaker 5: over this because the government does not have a right
- 4:45Speaker 5: to come into my home and investigate my life just because.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I had a child. All right. Well, there's Ben Ferguson's
- 4:52Speaker 2: take on it. may or may not agree with him
- 4:54Speaker 2: calling this a communist action i don't see where it's
- 4:56Speaker 2: not a communist action but anyways that's for a debate
- 4:59Speaker 2: for a different day but there you go but he
- 5:00Speaker 2: makes a very relevant point a couple of them in
- 5:02Speaker 2: there first and foremost uh harrison faulkner brought up the
- 5:06Speaker 2: connection there and this all ties into exactly what we
- 5:08Speaker 2: were talking about all these crazy insane massachusetts stories there
- 5:12Speaker 2: the postpartum thing with lindsey clancy how they went after
- 5:16Speaker 2: and by the way side note still going after the
- 5:18Speaker 2: prosecution uh excuse me the defense attorney of Lindsey Clancy,
- 5:23Speaker 2: is going after the loan holdout juror. They want an
- 5:26Speaker 2: investigation into his background. That's really happening. This is the
- 5:29Speaker 2: same state as we were talking about last week with
- 5:31Speaker 2: the Kutzko family. Remember them? A family that's fighting to
- 5:35Speaker 2: get their daughter back because the state essentially stole her
- 5:39Speaker 2: because the daughter said she did not feel welcome in
- 5:42Speaker 2: the home anymore because they did not support her transition.
- 5:45Speaker 2: A 15-year-old daughter, a transition, right? So they haven't seen
- 5:50Speaker 2: their daughter in over a year. Same state. What's happening here? Also,
- 5:54Speaker 2: and I think this is relevant to the story, this
- 5:56Speaker 2: is the same state. Keep this in mind with the
- 5:59Speaker 2: Welcome Family program. Keep this in mind how insanely tyrannical
- 6:04Speaker 2: the state of Massachusetts and others were during COVID. This
- 6:08Speaker 2: is a state, just a short example, besides the school shutdowns,
- 6:11Speaker 2: besides the business shutdowns, besides what they did to businesses
- 6:15Speaker 2: in the north end of Boston, which they were the
- 6:17Speaker 2: slowest to be allowed to reopen, all of that stuff,
- 6:21Speaker 2: the entire state, This is also a state that, for
- 6:23Speaker 2: the benefit of young people, they put pieces of two-by-fours
- 6:28Speaker 2: in the top of basketball hoops so young, healthy teenage
- 6:31Speaker 2: kids couldn't go outside during COVID and get some fresh
- 6:34Speaker 2: air and exercise. Same state. Same people in charge. Now,
- 6:37Speaker 2: I am sure there are some great welfare workers, some
- 6:42Speaker 2: great social workers in the state of Massachusetts. I'm sure.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I don't know any, but I'm assuming that there are.
- 6:47Speaker 2: There's always some good people in a group anywhere. I
- 6:50Speaker 2: am just as sure There are some of the same
- 6:53Speaker 2: tyrannical lunatics in those state departments and the state government
- 6:57Speaker 2: that would very, very, very quickly shut you down. If
- 7:02Speaker 2: they did one of these voluntary home visits and came
- 7:05Speaker 2: in with the welcome family program and didn't like what's
- 7:07Speaker 2: in your house, could you not imagine the possibility? Same
- 7:11Speaker 2: state with all this crazy crap happening. They walk in.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Let's say that it's a random Tuesday. You didn't know
- 7:18Speaker 2: the social worker was coming in for the welcome family program.
- 7:22Speaker 2: New mom is home with the baby, just a couple
- 7:24Speaker 2: of days, maybe a week. That's stressful enough. Nobody's sleeping
- 7:27Speaker 2: in the house. It's tiring. Maybe you're a first-time parent.
- 7:29Speaker 2: You don't really know what to do. No instruction manual.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Here comes the social worker, and you didn't prepare the
- 7:35Speaker 2: house properly to make sure that you fit their needs.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Because what Governor Healey said right there was they're going
- 7:41Speaker 2: to make sure that they're going to assess the entire
- 7:43Speaker 2: situation in your house. You follow what I'm saying? What
- 7:46Speaker 2: happens if you are a rebellious person conservative patriot in
- 7:51Speaker 2: the state of Massachusetts, and you're about to not vote
- 7:54Speaker 2: for her, and you have some MAGA stuff on the wall,
- 7:57Speaker 2: you've got some Trump things, you've got an American flag
- 8:00Speaker 2: on the outside, and this particular social worker, just plain
- 8:03Speaker 2: what-if scenario, doesn't agree with anything in the home. This
- 8:07Speaker 2: is an extreme example. I'm just throwing it out there,
- 8:09Speaker 2: what possibly could happen. Don't you think? Don't you think
- 8:13Speaker 2: it's at least a possibility under these set of circumstances
- 8:17Speaker 2: that any particular social worker assessing your home life and
- 8:22Speaker 2: your new baby could say this is an unsafe home
- 8:26Speaker 2: couldn't you see it i know it sounds crazy i
- 8:28Speaker 2: know it sounds extreme oh come on bill that doesn't
- 8:30Speaker 2: really happen this is why i gave you the example
- 8:33Speaker 2: of all the things recently that have happened in the
- 8:34Speaker 2: state of massachusetts yes it could happen you know it
- 8:38Speaker 2: could i do too could happen in california could happen
- 8:40Speaker 2: in oregon but this state has come up with a
- 8:43Speaker 2: program for mandatory home visits for new moms now Here's
- 8:47Speaker 2: the pushback that's already happening online. Oh, you just typical MAGA.
- 8:51Speaker 2: It's totally voluntary. I'm going to go back. I don't
- 8:54Speaker 2: like to repeat the clips too often, but you tell
- 8:57Speaker 2: me this didn't start off as a mandatory idea.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Everybody in the state, when you have a baby, you're
- 9:01Speaker 3: going to have a home visit.
- 9:03Speaker 2: You're going to have a home visit. Oh, that's voluntary,
- 9:06Speaker 2: is it? Now, there's been pushback already, and this is
- 9:08Speaker 2: the crux of the entire thing. There's been pushbacks, especially
- 9:11Speaker 2: from moms, as it should be, about this entire thing
- 9:14Speaker 2: and how tyrannical it is. But with that, once again,
- 9:17Speaker 2: the beautiful name, it's Welcome Family Program. Welcome Home. Who
- 9:21Speaker 2: would be against that? The most insidious programs always have
- 9:25Speaker 2: the nicest names. It's a tale as old as time itself.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Who would be against that? Oh, you fools. It's just
- 9:31Speaker 2: voluntary if you want it.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Really?
- 9:33Speaker 3: Is it really?
- 9:34Speaker 2: No, you're the fools who you put up with this.
- 9:36Speaker 2: The people who will just bend over backwards to allow
- 9:40Speaker 2: people A state like this to completely take over every
- 9:44Speaker 2: aspect of your life. That's how they got into this mess.
- 9:47Speaker 2: That's how they happened. Not enough people ask questions. Even
- 9:50Speaker 2: before COVID. The long, slow decline of a state like that.
- 9:54Speaker 2: And others. Not asking questions. Not pushing back. Not taking
- 9:59Speaker 2: hold of social media now and pushing back and getting
- 10:01Speaker 2: the facts on this, not being outraged by this, not
- 10:04Speaker 2: pushing back. Well, now they are, a little bit. So
- 10:07Speaker 2: now all of a sudden you've got the state saying, no, no, no, no,
- 10:10Speaker 2: for now it'll be just voluntary. For now. It didn't
- 10:14Speaker 2: start off that way, as you just heard. Let's go
- 10:16Speaker 2: to another legal analyst. Haven't heard from Nancy Grace in
- 10:19Speaker 2: a long time. Hannity was talking to her just the
- 10:21Speaker 2: other night about this, and this is how it goes
- 10:23Speaker 2: to show you that this is once again national news
- 10:26Speaker 2: in Massachusetts. Like with the Kutzko thing, the Lindsay Clancy story,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and many others. Here's what she says about it. First,
- 10:33Speaker 2: let me start with the governor.
- 10:35Speaker 6: Everybody in this state, when you have a baby, you're
- 10:38Speaker 6: going to have a home visit within days, weeks by
- 10:42Speaker 6: the government. Now, she backed off in a statement after
- 10:46Speaker 6: she made those comments, but I don't think that's her
- 10:48Speaker 6: true belief. I think she meant what she said.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Governor, get your hands off my baby. That's what everybody
- 10:55Speaker 4: is going to be screaming. Now, when she added voluntary,
- 10:59Speaker 4: that was obviously because of pressure based on what she said.
- 11:03Speaker 4: What she said, and let me be clear, is you
- 11:06Speaker 4: will have a home visit. That's why people hate the government,
- 11:11Speaker 4: because of edicts just like that. That is not going
- 11:15Speaker 4: to work. You cannot cram that down a mom and
- 11:18Speaker 4: dad's throat.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Well, see, here's the thing. And there has been some
- 11:22Speaker 2: pushback to their credit, to the people of Massachusetts' credit.
- 11:25Speaker 2: There has been some pushback on this. This is why
- 11:27Speaker 2: the states now are saying, oh, no, we just met voluntarily. Okay, right.
- 11:31Speaker 2: If you believe that, you've got some other problems you
- 11:34Speaker 2: need to ask yourself. That's the thing. Nancy Grace doesn't
- 11:37Speaker 2: live there. She's not from Massachusetts. So I can give
- 11:40Speaker 2: you a little perspective on this. She's of the opinion,
- 11:43Speaker 2: this will not work. People will not hate thee. The
- 11:45Speaker 2: people will push back. I have my doubts about So
- 11:48Speaker 2: I asked the original question. That's the entire premise of
- 11:52Speaker 2: this particular episode today. Will the new moms, will moms
- 11:57Speaker 2: in Massachusetts tolerate these mandatory home visits program? I have
- 12:03Speaker 2: to tell you, I think most people, the way it's
- 12:04Speaker 2: going already, I think they actually will. There'll be a pushback.
- 12:07Speaker 2: There'll be a pushback to control this thing a little
- 12:10Speaker 2: bit and get a little bit out of their lives.
- 12:11Speaker 2: But I don't think there will be enough pushback because
- 12:13Speaker 2: I just haven't seen it. And I'm hoping there's a
- 12:15Speaker 2: massive pushback on this so that they do not tolerate this.
- 12:18Speaker 2: but I have my doubts. I got to tell you,
- 12:20Speaker 2: I really do because of all the things. And to
- 12:23Speaker 2: repeat again, all the insane things. And these are just recent.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The cuts go family had their daughter taken because she,
- 12:29Speaker 2: they wouldn't let her transition at 15 years old. They
- 12:32Speaker 2: still haven't seen their daughter taken at school one day
- 12:34Speaker 2: by this same state, by the same social workers that
- 12:37Speaker 2: would be doing these mandatory home visits. Uh, the COVID
- 12:41Speaker 2: shutdowns not too long ago. We shouldn't ever, I know
- 12:44Speaker 2: we don't want to look back at that area, but
- 12:45Speaker 2: you can't forget what a state like that did. Uh,
- 12:49Speaker 2: The Lindsay Clancy thing and how that was botched and mishandled.
- 12:53Speaker 2: And a defense attorney allowed to go after now and
- 12:56Speaker 2: dox and attack a holdout juror. That's what they... Oh,
- 13:00Speaker 2: and by the way, Massachusetts, one of the states that
- 13:02Speaker 2: referred to moms in official state literature as not moms,
- 13:07Speaker 2: because that was offensive somehow, some way, they're birthing persons.
- 13:12Speaker 2: That's a real thing that's happening here. Not moms, birthing persons.
- 13:18Speaker 2: So when we ask, are they going to tolerate this,
- 13:19Speaker 2: you allowed all this crap to happen right under your noses.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Will you allow this to happen? I don't know. I
- 13:26Speaker 2: don't know. I'm hoping. I'm going to keep an eye
- 13:27Speaker 2: on this one because this seems to be like the
- 13:28Speaker 2: pinnacle of all the crazy Massachusetts stuff that needs to
- 13:32Speaker 2: be pushed back on. But see, here's the thing. This
- 13:35Speaker 2: is why it's a national story, especially politics does play
- 13:39Speaker 2: a part in this because it's right before the midterms.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I get that. But this is the kind of insanity
- 13:43Speaker 2: that can happen. California obviously knows that. Oregon knows that.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Places like New York, Illinois, obviously. But Massachusetts is like
- 13:51Speaker 2: the pinnacle of crazy now, where you let a state
- 13:53Speaker 2: government go completely out of control. Will they allow it?
- 13:59Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have an answer yet. I
- 14:01Speaker 2: have my doubts. I'm thinking 60-40 that they'll allow this
- 14:04Speaker 2: program to take place. And that's so sad. But we'll see.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Maybe if there's enough attention on it, they will not
- 14:10Speaker 2: put up with it. Or as Nancy Grace just said.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Governor, get your hands off my baby.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Hope they say that anyway. I don't know. We'll see.
- 14:18Speaker 2: All right. Most likely not talking about Massachusetts tomorrow, but
- 14:22Speaker 2: who knows what crazy thing they're going to come up with. Anyway,
- 14:24Speaker 2: we'll find something. It's midweek already. Make it a wicked
- 14:27Speaker 2: awesome Wednesday. Actually, the likes, follows, and shares and all
- 14:30Speaker 2: that good stuff on X and YouTube and Facebook. The
- 14:32Speaker 2: replay is always on there as well. And the audio
- 14:35Speaker 2: podcast full episode always uploaded shortly after we get off
