a state saw the biggest druges bust in its history this past february. ugwere chinese nationals weretin among those arrested. noalw, that was the angles investigation into how chinese criminal elements were n infiltrate it in oklahomain farmland back in may of 2020 two . well, today, three hundredm and thirteen days later,. politico finally caught up publishing a piece titled the growing chinese investmentpl in illegal american weed. so what helped spark this explosion of chinese owned marijuana farms? by the way, oklahoma voters passed medical marijuana i n o 2018 sincekl then, the number of growth farms exploded, but half of all the farms in oklahomas got their licenses. officials say, through fraud. the three thousand farms that we believe are flying right now, those licenses, i would comfortably say probably ,000two thirds are asian invests and tied to criminal organized out of asia, primarily china. joining me now, that man you just saw markward were
today. a once in a generation weather event is playing out across the country right now as frigid and potentially deadly arctic blasts sweep across the country, shatters cold records, even president biden is issuing a warning. it s not like a snow day, you know, when you re a kid. this is serious stuff. please take this storm extremely seriously. more than 110 million people are under winter alerts coast to coast for snow and icy conditions that are bad and getting worse. planning a holiday road trip? you might want to reconsider. this is what it looks like trying to drive in cheyenne, wyoming, where it was minus 42 degrees fahrenheit this morning. zero visibility, oh, by the way, parts of that state saw temps drop 70 degrees in 18 hours. take a look at this in cambridge, minnesota, as millions try to hit the road for some of the busiest travel days
minnesota, haviland, it was nearing 30 inches. my home state saw 2 feet of snow. the snow continues. but for the lucky few saying goodbye to the storm, here s the latest radar. downwind of lake michigan, still a few more inches there, that s the band we re concerned about. downwind from lakeer erie, this has moved south. 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. that s where they re pummelled, the snow band is the direction of the wind. it was southwest and now it s westerly. it s pushed the heaviest band of snow south of buffalo metro and into the areas that have been hit so hard in the past couple of days.
really it is part of the horizon is looking at possibly a federal ban and we saw lindsey graham introducing something that would federally ban abortions at 15 weeks and that s something that could happen if of course there is a republican president and republican controlled house and senate, and i will say that when i ask gretchen whitmer about that idea, saying okay, it is nur state constitution but what if the federal ban comes along, she says we re ready to fight this tooth and nail and hopefully there will be a national codifying of roe v. wade which is what president biden says he wants to do. any sense of enthusiasm and movement among voters now that a lot of these states have codified their protections for abortion, does that dissipate? does that go away for the next election cycle? is it too early to even say that? it s a great question. what i m sensing, when i was on the ground and what i m sensing in talking to advocates on both sides of this issue, is that people now ar
good morning. there are two big races we re watching, it is another primary day and another test of donald trump s status as king maker in the republican party. the first race is here in west virginia. had this is the first time we re seeing two sitting u.s. congressmen facing each other in a primary, this is because of the redistricting, west virginia lost a seat because of its shrinking population. this has become one of the ugliest races in the country. on one side you have david mckinley, he has been endorsed by the popular republican governor, as well as democratic senator joe manchin. on the other side, you have alex mooney, a sitting u.s. congressman, and he has been endorsed by former president donald trump. the popularity of the former president in this state is palpable, something that mooney himself noted when we spoke to him just a moment ago. take a listen. i ll tell you this about president trump, when he s in, he s all in. he really went all out for me, and i really
