"Anyhow, senator wyden's office has all this information. We're going to try and get him on the program to talk about it next week. This is a shocking story. All right, it's anything goes Friday. Let's pick up your phone calls here Molly and Davenport, Iowa. Hey, Molly, what's on your mind today? Hey Tom, you're a tough act to follow. I'm calling from Iowa and Scott county specifically. This is a call to action for all iowans to get into good John Lewis trouble and elect our first black democratic governor needed to the state of Iowa to have the state of Iowa our current governor COVID Kim has contributed to over 10,000 iowans dying from COVID. Wow. And so we need to does your democratic candidate have a chance and I will? Yes, she does. You have people would listening to Paul and shut off the TV and the radio and social network. To vote. And contact, contact our local Democratic Party. And whatever county they live and make phone calls, go door to door, contribute money. DJI absolutely has a chance. And Iowa, we have those that are registered voters are pretty evenly split one third Democrats one third independence one third Republicans. So we are not only contracting Democrats to make sure they get out to vote. Also, independence and we're calling some Republicans because do you and many of the other Democrats on the ticket, they want to take care of a child throughout their life. Many Republicans want every child to be born no matter what the risk is to the mother or that mother's mental health, but they don't want to help their child. Once it's born to safely navigate into adulthood. And do you believe that women's right to choose? And also our mental health funding in the state of Iowa is sorely lacking.

"And so that after as few as 5 days, unless you have these external opioids coming in to replace that amount that they got used to, you are starving for them. And the best description I've heard came from an addiction specialist in Arkansas, who said, imagine not being able to eat for a month. And somebody puts a delicious plate of food in front of you and tells you you can't eat it. And so that's this desperation that most users call dope sickness and they'll do anything to relieve this excruciating withdrawal, which on its own is not likely to kill them, but it's just like this outside fear. And every person I've talked to with OUD describes it as the worst flu times a hundred, you'll do anything. If your dope man isn't coming until next week, you'll parse it down so you're only using a little bit a day to it's both psychological and physical and despite this really heavy toll, there are people and you really seek to understand where they're coming from, but people who push back and still feel people who have substance use disorder should be locked up, don't deserve the kind of care that is needed for the medical care, for instance, shelter, talk to us about the group of sheriffs that you were invited to speak with in Indiana and their response to what you were saying. It was the month of four COVID should have been February 20 and I was invited to address every share of India and at the end of the talk not one person clapped and finally one deputy was felt sorry for me, but he very slowly slow clapped me. And it was, I mean, Lisa, they had guns. And they weren't going to use them on you, but there they were. You noticed. But one share for the one from Scott county where they had that huge HIV outbreak from injecting opana. He goes, well, they're clean when they leave my jail. And that's no understanding of addiction at all. And you've got these sheriffs who are elected and they're elected on these platforms of being tough on crime, and so that's why it's such a tough not to cry. Right, but you also understand what they face when police, for instance, go out into the community. I mean, you know where they're coming from. Yeah, because the police and a lot of the first responders, they have really felt this hard too. I have a cop friend in Ohio that I grew up with. And he's been arresting people since OxyContin first came out. And a couple of years ago, he was patting somebody down in an arrest and he got stuck with a needle. And he knew it was a dirty needle because the guy told him he had hepatitis C and he had to go through a year of testing. So I like to tell that story because it's like a lot of the police groups are opposed to syringe exchanges still, but it's really making them safe and the community is safer too. It's so easy to be cynical about what's happening what's going to happen. Are you? No, I'm a little bit of both. You know, I'm hopeful because I start to see that even yesterday I was giving a talk in Columbus, Ohio, with a bunch of folks that I thought I was going to be really kind of surprising them with all my talk about harm reduction. I'm for safe consumption. I'm for anything that gets people connected to systems of care. Anything. And that's healthy and safe for them and helps them use and stay alive. And I got a standing ovation. I mean, it shocked me. It was exact opposite of the Indiana sheriffs. So I'm going to be talking in Indiana again soon, Lisa. So I'll let you know if it's gotten any better there. Thank you so much. Beth Macy, author of raising Lazarus hope justice in the future of

"Join one plus in Apple podcasts or the wondery app to listen to twin flames early and ad free. From wondery, this is a special bonus episode of twin flames. As you can probably tell, I'm not Stephanie Beatrice. I'm brook zfin. One of the hosts of even the rich. It's a series where we pull back the curtain on the stories of some of the most powerful and successful figures in society. Now, I am so fascinated by cults and I've actually been reading a lot about twin flames in the last couple of years. So when I heard about this story, I was immediately all in. In some ways, the story of twin flames is a universal one. True love, the pursuit of a happy ever after. Those are things we can all relate to. He was the first person that made me feel like, yeah, you're screwed up, but who isn't? And I still like you. Yet there were other parts of the story that were more difficult to wrap my head around. Like, how drastically people's lives can change, even over the Internet. I no longer knew who I was. I was just like, I was spiraling. So what does this story tell us about how power and coercion are adapting in our modern world? And the length people are going to get what they want. Well, I've got two special guests who've really thought a lot about these questions. First is Rachel Bernstein, a licensed marriage and family therapist who has spent over 30 years working with former members of cults and high control groups. She also hosts the long running podcast indoctrination, which looks at all kinds of coercion and seeks to help people recognize its forms. And then later I'll be speaking with producer and writer cassius adair, an expert on queer and trans storytelling who was a consultant on the series. He'll be talking about some of the decisions made in producing the series, and some of the wider challenges of trans inclusive reporting on gender today. Looking for your next true crime obsession, you'll be sure to find it in the new season of witnessed, friendly fire, set in the hills of east Tennessee, a deputy is shot by his own partner. When authorities say there was no wrongdoing, it unveils the county run by a sheriff's office that casts a long shadow, suspense, heartache, and a years long entanglement of conflicting stories left a widow trying to answer one question. Was the shooting an accident or was it a deliberate killing?

"Literacy about why you are lives are safe today. Why the childhood vaccines that you took for granted? I have revolutionized the modern world. My dad had polio and he was two years old. Those fears of a disease rapid in your community did. We're not around in the same kind of sentence. We hit COVID almost a hundred years later. So bringing it back to HIV can what do you think are some of the most valuable areas for research for HIV now? Greg mentioned a vaccine, for instance. Vaccine work is very exciting. It's sort of like Sisyphus, the boulder keeps going up the hill and you get close and it goes back down. So there are some things on the horizon with vaccines that maybe promising, but the most recent vaccine trial was not successful. So it's a challenging process. Because the good news is that there is pre exposure prophylaxis. And there's counseling and condoms work. So to do a vaccine efficacy trial means enrolling thousands of thousands of people since the bar is very high to get to the point to do these trials. So they're not going to happen every day. But fingers crossed, you never know when science will be tutus. I mean, the other area which is extremely important where there's lots of work going on is cure research and a lot of better understandings of how the virus highs in the body once people are infected and the thought about whether one can coax some of these latent viral particles out and remove them from the body. That's another important area for research. Yeah, that would be amazing. So Greg, what do you see as the biggest public education issue regarding HIV? What do you see in the community? Well, again, whose community rich community, but a couple of things. One is every ten years New York Times Magazine article. Some magazine article comes out that talks about the hidden O that we didn't know African American young gay men in the rural south are suffering from rates of HIV infection that rival sub Saharan Africa. The other piece of this is around injection drug use. In the 80s and early 90s, HIV transmission by intravenous drug use was a big part of the epidemiology of the disease. But with the advent of needle exchange and other ways to reduce risk, intravenous drug us epidemics of HIV were less and less common. But in 2002, 2014, we had an outbreak of HIV in Scott county, Indiana, in which close to 5% of that small community were infected with HIV to see shared dirty needles contaminated with HIV..

Since the 19 seventies, Americans who use illegal drugs are often treated as criminals, many of the nation's top drug addiction, researchers say evidence is now clear that approach didn't work. One alternative would be to treat people with addiction like patients with the chronic disease. That could mean offering drug users a safe supply of their drug of choice, along with supervised consumption sites where they can be protected from overdoses, meanwhile, guiding them towards treatment and healthcare That approach is being tried in parts of Australia, Canada and Portugal.

U.S. Farmers Hardest Hit in Trump Trade War With China
"To the trade war between Beijing and Washington, in the middle of, that fight you've got. Communities like Davenport Iowa the growing trade war between China. And the US has come to America's heartland Iowa is the second leading producer of soybeans only behind Illinois. In the us a lot of the, soybeans, go to China our biggest foreign consumer but eleven days ago China began. Imposing, a twenty five percent tariff on USO I beans it was the latest development in a game of economic check in between, the two economic superpowers Frank clips is the mayor of Davenport Iowa and I asked him. What he's hearing locally about the tariffs on soybeans well I think the feedback that we've been receiving is not only a lot of apprehension, a number of the farmers in particular and then refining a lot more on the supportive services as part of the supply chain having real reservoir Nations and concerns industries like. John Deere and other suppliers and all, of, their supply chain partners are all concerned about the impacts on this as. Well, so I think the biggest issue that we're finding is there's a lot of concern with individual former legacy farmers who margin, is very small to start with a lot of these farmers it's been their life for, families for generations And there's a lot of pressure to potentially sell? That, land for development and they become more reticent on buying a quick moment and long term future planning is this kind of puts a chilling. Effect on many of, them so these tariffs are of course retaliation for President Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, steel and aluminum specifically what are you on your allies, in soy producing areas doing on the, political front to deal with this well I think we all understand at least the basic idea that we want. To have fair trade practices for our country as well as others so in that sense we understand that responsibility and we think we understand what the president has in mind but this. Kind of scorched earth floss Affi right now Hessam real concerns, by people we would like to reach. Out to the administration, and we know that the US takes pride in its trade position is committed to pursuing a, better balance for the nation so will you reach out to the White House have you. Already done so well interestingly I was traveling but just got back into. Town and I just saw via Email before I arrived we had to reach out from the, government of fear officers at the White House wanting to talk with us in a couple of other colleague mayors I am the co chair of the. Mississippi River cities and towns initiative and we represent all eighty five mayors along, the Mississippi corridor from, Minnesota all the way to Louisiana so we know we are extremely important the long term health of the? Country, and like you said we just got that the last two days and the plan is to gin respond to that and hopefully we can. Start some good discussion, and find out what the long-term plan is I'd love to know how Trump's base, is reacting to these Chinese tariffs 'cause you're mayor in In Davenport in Scott county which did not go for Trump but the initiative that you. Co-chair includes areas that supported Trump and you're all? Surrounded by counties that went? For, Trump, said do you see the president losing support over this issue related to this particular topic there's concern, I think it's going to be interesting going into this midterm election as to what that response means but I think some have maintained hopefulness I, think, from individuals that I've talked to some that have been opposed to President, Trump I think they've been emboldened by this move seeing it as potentially hurting not only the midwest. But potentially the United States overall with, all the different tariff issues we're dealing. With so I think, it's a little early yet to tell people are still waiting to find out what the trickle, down affects your actually going to be and I think we'll probably know as time unfolds. Exactly what this means because soybeans make up thirty seven percent of the. Total Iowa crap production Well thanks very much for answering that question as well as all the. Others about soybeans mayor Frank clips of Davenport Iowa good to speak with you thank you thank you to Mark oh nice to talk with you Along with soybeans you might be surprised to learn that..
