Everyone knows John Fetterman here in Western PA — he was the Democratic mayor of nearby Braddock, rose to lieutenant governor under Tom Wolf, and now he's the commonwealth's senior U.S. Senator — in part, because he rode a progressive blue wave. But these days, the Harvard-educated AmeriCorps alum is increasingly aligned with MAGA Republicans. Ahead of a ticketed event in Pittsburgh this weekend, we're teaming up with City Cast Philly's Matt Katz and Philadelphia Inquirer political reporter Julia Terruso to talk about Fetterman's evolving priorities and what they could mean for us here in Pennsylvania. Fetterman's event will be co-hosted by fellow U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) to promote McCormick's new book about mentorship, “Who Believed in You.” The location is still TBD, possibly because some groups in Pittsburgh are planning to protest. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Free Store, founded in 2012 by Gisele Barreto Fetterman, who is also on the schedule to attend. Former Congressman Conor Lamb, who lost the Democratic primary against Fetterman in 2022, has been a vocal critic of Fetterman's lately. He's holding his own town hall in State College on Saturday with the Centre County Democratic Committee.  Learn more about the sponsors of this March 27th episode: Pittsburgh Opera History UnErased Become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh at membership.citycast.fm.

When thieves made off with Darcie Bell's rented U-Haul truck, the San Francisco woman put out a call for help on X: “If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.” The post went viral, but not for the reason she hoped for. Bell spent years posting left-wing “Defund the police” views — and users across the site blasted and mocked the activist. “Anti Police activist begs the police to help,” jeered the X account Bay State of Mind, which comments on San Francisco Bay Area politics.

In September of 2022 before leaving office, then Gov. Tom Wolf announced the creation of three new state parks. Susquehanna Riverlands in York County, Big Elk Creek in Chester County and Vosburg Neck in Wyoming County. While these new state parks were quickly opened following the announcement, they have not taken their final form. Before they can be completed – or really before they even start – these parks must go through a rigorous master planning process with numerous phases. There's the planning phase, the design phase, the engineering phase and the construction phase. But in between those phases and additional processes, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources must seek public input, hold public forums and receive feedback from various stakeholders. The opening of the state parks to the public was the easy part. But, now's the hard part. The amount of questions that must be answered and properly addressed can be stagging. Our season finale is meant to let listeners know when the various phases will be complete, what sort of activities and camping options will be available and what the future holds for our three newest parks. And for this large task I wanted to go straight to the source. On this episode, I speak with John Hallas.

Can a balanced approach to harm reduction and recovery really save lives? Join us in a thought-provoking conversation with Tom Wolf, a member of the Recovery community from San Francisco, offering a raw and unfiltered critique of today's drug policies. We scrutinize Vancouver's harm reduction model and its alarming overdose death rates, while Tom passionately argues for recovery-focused solutions in the face of new proposals advocating "safe" drug-use spaces and other radical drug provisions. This episode sheds light on the crucial need to integrate more sensible harm reduction interventions with prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives for a more humane and effective drug policy.Dive deep into the broader debate on drug policy strategies as we question advocates' desire to legalize all drugs, scrutinize the opioid crisis, and expose the cultural influence of big corporations on advocacy. With Tom's powerful insights, we explore how recovery voices must lead the way in policymaking. Listen as we highlight real-life advocacy successes from San Francisco and discuss the vital role of individuals in recovery in shaping policies that truly address addiction. This episode is a comprehensive examination of the pressing issues in drug policy, offering a blueprint for a balanced and recovery-centric approach.Follow the work of SAM and FDPS below:https://learnaboutsam.org/https://gooddrugpolicy.org/https://thedrugreport.org/On X: https://twitter.com/learnaboutsamhttps://twitter.com/GoodDrugPolicyhttps://twitter.com/KevinSabethttps://twitter.com/LukeNiforatosOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/learnaboutsam

Dom plays back some audio of Walz that's come to light since the announcement, including some audio from his wife who said she opened her windows to smell the car fires during the George Floyd riots. Then, Dom plays back some audio from those on the Left criticizing the pick, noting the true reasons that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was passed over. Then, Dom welcomes in Mike Murphy, former gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota, onto the Dom Giordano Program after being critical of VP candidate Tim Walz on social media. Murphy, who is also a former Mayor now serving on Lexington, Minnesota's Town Council, tells us what Minnesotans know about Walz, calling him a narcissistic Communist.

Fentanyl : plongée au sein d'un des principaux cartels mexicains

Le phénomène a pris tellement d'ampleur aux États-Unis qu'il est devenu l'une des priorité de Joe Biden : le Fentanyl tue une personne toutes les sept minutes dans le pays. Dans plusieurs grandes villes, on peut voir ces corps pliés en deux sous l'effet de cette drogue ultra-puissante, importée du Mexique voisin. Décryptage avec Bertrand Monnet, professeur à l'Edhec business school et spécialiste de l'économie du crime, il enquête depuis plus de dix ans sur le tristement célèbre cartel de Sinaloa, qui lui a ouvert les portes de ses « laboratoires » de fabrication de la drogue. De très nombreuses victimes ont d'abord connu la dépendance aux médicaments aux États-Unis, aux anti-douleurs opioïdes, comme Tom Wolf qui raconte être devenu addicte après une intervention chirurgicale : « J'ai commencé à aller dans la rue pour trouver des pilules, et en deux ans, mon addiction a pris tellement d'ampleur que je prenais 560 mg par jour juste pour fonctionner.Comme ces pilules coûtent très cher, j'ai fait faillite, j'ai ruiné ma famille et je suis passé à l'héroïne, parce que c'est beaucoup moins cher. J'en ai pris pendant environ un an et cette année-là j'ai perdu mon travail, j'ai été viré de ma maison, ma femme a déposé une main courante contre moi donc je ne pouvais pas retourner chez moi et j'ai terminé par vivre dans la rue, en prenant de l'héroïne tous les jours. Et au début de l'année 2018, le fentanyl a commencé à apparaître dans les rues de San Francisco et j'ai adoré. Je sentais… comment l'expliquer… comme un élan de chaleur, comme si quelqu'un m'avait recouvert d'une couverture, comme si tous mes problèmes s'étaient envolés, ce genre d'euphorie. Le problème, c'est que tu dois en prendre souvent, et tu ne sais pas à quel point la drogue est chargée, tu ne sais pas vraiment quelle dose tu prends, donc le risque d'overdose est très élevé. »Le Fentanyl est généralement 30 à 40 fois plus fort que l'héroïne, précise Bertrand Monnet. « L'addiction est immédiate, c'est sans doute la drogue la plus forte qui ait jamais été vendue dans la rue. Les témoignages que j'ai pu recueillir à New-York, ce sont des gens qui ne veulent même pas arrêter. » D'anti-douleur à drogue super-puissanteLe Fentanyl est initialement un anti-douleur, « parfaitement légal et administré dans les hôpitaux, seulement dans ces établissements et très souvent, il n'est pas administré par injection mais pas timbre cutané. C'est une sorte de super Tramadol, explique Bertrand Monnet, un médicament dont une petite partie des ventes sont détournées par les narcos, qui ne parlent d'ailleurs pas de Fentanyl considéré comme le produit de base mais de M30, et après les drogués eux-mêmes consomment très rarement du Fentanyl pur, ce qui est encore pire en termes d'addictologie. » Bertrand Monnet n'a pas observé l'import de Fentanyl mais les narcotrafiquants lui ont expliqué qu'il existait des intermédiaires chinois et indiens, « parfaitement fondés à acheter des médicaments pour le revendre après, et au sein de ces entreprises, ils corrompent certaines personnes à des fonctions clefs pour qu'elles détournent les quantités dont les cartels ont besoin. » L'importation est centralisée par l'état-major du cartel puis le produit est distribué à la centaine de clans du cartel pour la fabrication par des chimistes des pastilles de M30.Multiplication des sites de fabrication pour éviter la répression« Le cartel fonctionne comme une entreprise et donc s'adapte à ses contraintes », analyse Bertrand Monnet, en l'occurrence la répression. Pour éviter de se voir saisir trop de marchandises au même endroit, ils divisent cette production dans des dizaines de petits laboratoires. En cas de saisie, la police ou plutôt l'armée ne saisit donc qu'une petite quantité de marchandises. Les militaires sont en première ligne pour lutter contre les narcos, car de très nombreux policiers du Silanoa sont corrompus, souvent sous la menace. Les militaires sont moins soumis au phénomène car « ils ne vivent pas en ville mais dans les casernes et ils tournent souvent donc il est beaucoup plus dur pour les narcos de les approcher », précise le spécialiste ajoutant qu'il existe un autre échelon très accessible, en plus des policiers, « ce sont les élus notamment locaux ».  Le président mexicain mis en causeDes révélations de presse, une enquête de la Deutsche Welle, rapporte des informations de la DEA, l'agence américaine de lutte contre la drogue, selon lesquelles le cartel de Sinaloa aurait financé la campagne de 2006 d'Andres Manuel Lopes Obrador, à hauteur de deux à quatre millions de dollars en échange d'une protection et du droit à participer à la nomination du procureur général de la République. « Cela ne me surprend pas, commente Bertrand Monnet, si ce n'est le montant qui me semble assez peu élevé au regard des moyens dont dispose le cartel, mais il s'agit sans doute d'une estimation plancher de la DEA. » Le spécialiste de l'économie du crime ajoute que la corruption à très haut niveau fait partie de l'une des priorités de l'état-major du cartel mais précise « est-ce AMLO lui-même qui avait organisé ça ? S'agissait-il de financer une petite partie de sa campagne ? Était-il vraiment informé ? Ces questions sont très importantes car on parle de quelqu'un qui a la confiance de l'administration Biden. Si cette information continue d'être documentée, c'est potentiellement un séisme au Mexique. Nous sommes potentiellement au début d'une crise majeure. »
