In Washington County you can brazenly shoplift and repeatedly drive without a license and in Dane County a judge can have a partisan hack write his opinions for him to persecute a Republican.

- 0:38Speaker 2: now let's imagine you want to you know, you don't
- 0:40Speaker 2: want to pay for stuff. You just want to shoplift

- 1:17Speaker 2: interesting case study. Everything about The story is interesting, but
- 1:20Speaker 2: there's a moral of the story that we're going to
- 1:22Speaker 2: get into in a moment as we share that story
- 1:25Speaker 2: as well. First, some information about you line. When it

- 1:54Speaker 2: line difference today visit you line dot com. Now, the
- 2:00Speaker 2: first part of this story is quite interesting. It was
- 2:02Speaker 2: reported by Fox six and that's where I found it.
- 2:06Speaker 2: We're gonna dive deeper into the story, but first of all,
- 2:09Speaker 2: let's just share the basics. Fox six is reporting on
- 2:13Speaker 2: a shoplifting arrest in Hartford. Hartford is in Washington County,
- 2:18Speaker 2: not to be confused with Harland Hartford Walmart there. The the
- 2:24Speaker 2: thing about stealing at a Walmart is of all of
- 2:27Speaker 2: the big national chains, Walmart takes shoplifting seriously, so you
- 2:34Speaker 2: start with that. I mean every store is different, but
- 2:37Speaker 2: Walmart is big on the lost prevention. They got the
- 2:39Speaker 2: people why it's like a casino with the cameras that
- 2:41Speaker 2: were everywhere watching you, so forth and so on. So
- 2:44Speaker 2: if you steal from Walmart and you get out of
- 2:46Speaker 2: the store, chances are they got a video image of
- 2:50Speaker 2: you and they're gonna be ready if you ever try
- 2:53Speaker 2: to come into the store again. That's the background. Anyway.
- 2:55Speaker 2: The story is about a woman who walked into the
- 2:59Speaker 2: Walmart in Hartford and part of the investigation, she admitted
- 3:04Speaker 2: that she's planning to steal again. There was a problem.
- 3:09Speaker 2: The day that she went into the Walmart to steal,
- 3:14Speaker 2: they were having a special event at that Walmart. Do
- 3:19Speaker 2: you know about this story. The special event was called
- 3:23Speaker 2: shop with a Cop. They had like it was an
- 3:28Speaker 2: event for like Christmas shopping for kids and so on,
- 3:33Speaker 2: and a number of local police officers on their off
- 3:36Speaker 2: time were you know, donating their time that they would
- 3:39Speaker 2: shop with the kid. You get the you know, there
- 3:40Speaker 2: was you know, good community involvement thing. So the place
- 3:44Speaker 2: is crawling with police officers because this was the day
- 3:47Speaker 2: for the Shop with the Kid. Well, here comes the
- 3:49Speaker 2: chronic shop lifter wandering in the store planning to steal.
- 3:55Speaker 2: The chief of the town of Hartford Police said, it
- 3:58Speaker 2: gives these kids something to open on Christmas, We take
- 4:00Speaker 2: them shopping, you know, it's a really nice event for everybody.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But this past Saturday, December sixth, investigators say a twenty
- 4:13Speaker 2: four year old woman named Sophia Mollik, she entered the
- 4:18Speaker 2: store with plans to steal. According to the report and
- 4:23Speaker 2: the criminal information against her, just three days before the event,
- 4:27Speaker 2: she was at the same Walmart and stole more than
- 4:30Speaker 2: six hundred dollars worth of stuff. No, they know this because,
- 4:35Speaker 2: as they say, Walmart's got a lot of cameras and security,
- 4:38Speaker 2: and sometimes if the person gets out of the store,
- 4:40Speaker 2: they still know who they are and they turn the
- 4:42Speaker 2: information over to the authorities, or if they can't make
- 4:46Speaker 2: a prosecution on that past one, they're ready for the
- 4:49Speaker 2: person the next time that they come into the store.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Using the example of the casino, the casino catches somebody,
- 4:57Speaker 2: you know, swiping somebody's chip, and they happened to get
- 5:00Speaker 2: out of the casino before you can catch them. They're
- 5:02Speaker 2: saving that image of that person in case they ever come, well, okay,
- 5:06Speaker 2: so Walmart's ready for this person, and here are all
- 5:11Speaker 2: these cops in the store. Besides, the complaint said that
- 5:22Speaker 2: Mollick comes into the store, I notice she can I'm
- 5:25Speaker 2: in the cops are in uniform. They're wearing cop uniforms. Now,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'm sure some of you are thinking you're not gonna
- 5:32Speaker 2: kill me with all those cops in uniform. That she
- 5:34Speaker 2: started to wipe things. No she didn't. She said, well,
- 5:36Speaker 2: what's gonna go in there? But I saw these cops.
- 5:40Speaker 2: You know, they'd tell you in the question you have
- 5:42Speaker 2: a roy to remain silent. I'm always amazed when some
- 5:47Speaker 2: of these people don't remain silent. I'm glad. I'm glad
- 5:50Speaker 2: they don't. I'm glad they admit that they knew what
- 5:52Speaker 2: they do. But I mean the criminal complaint said that
- 5:56Speaker 2: when an officer confronted Malick in the store, she had
- 6:01Speaker 2: more than two hundred and fifty three dollars worth of
- 6:03Speaker 2: items in her cart. No, again, she hadn't yet stolen.
- 6:08Speaker 2: She was throwing things into her cart though, and her
- 6:11Speaker 2: history is to steal. But here she was confronted by
- 6:15Speaker 2: the officer before she had departed from the store. But remember,
- 6:20Speaker 2: they have the video of the stealing from the earlier
- 6:23Speaker 2: occasion already on her. Eventually, the complaint said that she
- 6:26Speaker 2: admitted a stealing and told detectives that she was going
- 6:29Speaker 2: would have shoplifted again, but she changed her mind because
- 6:32Speaker 2: of the number of police in the store. In her car,
- 6:40Speaker 2: they discovered about nine hundred dollars of the stolen toys.
- 6:44Speaker 2: These were toys that were apparently stolen at other stores
- 6:47Speaker 2: or maybe from the earlier Walmart in her car. So
- 6:50Speaker 2: she had nine hundred dollars worth of stuff in her
- 6:52Speaker 2: car and the stuff was identified as having been stolen,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and they intercepted her. And now that's the beginning of
- 7:00Speaker 2: the story. But as you say, there's more to the story,
- 7:07Speaker 2: I mean, other than this general laziness and incompetence. I
- 7:11Speaker 2: don't know why the media, when they have a case
- 7:12Speaker 2: like this, doesn't dig into and see if they can
- 7:15Speaker 2: learn a little bit more about the person. Would you
- 7:16Speaker 2: not like to know a little bit more about the person? Well, okay,
- 7:20Speaker 2: well I'm here to serve Sophia Malik. She's got a
- 7:27Speaker 2: lengthy record from this year, but it's not murderer. Any
- 7:31Speaker 2: of this stuff. She has let me pull up the
- 7:37Speaker 2: I want to call it a rap sheet, but it's
- 7:39Speaker 2: not actually a rap sheet. It's a sheet of her
- 7:43Speaker 2: court engagements this year. This year alone in Washington County,
- 7:50Speaker 2: she was arrested and criminally charged three separate times, plus
- 7:54Speaker 2: an additional time in Wakeshaw County, all for the same thing,
- 7:59Speaker 2: driving with a voked license with the enhancer of multiple offenses.
- 8:06Speaker 2: The charging dates May twenty seventh, a separate one May
- 8:09Speaker 2: twenty eighth, a day later June twentieth, and then went
- 8:12Speaker 2: in Waukeshaw County on October twenty second, So multiple times
- 8:16Speaker 2: this year she was nailed for driving without a license.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I only have the criminal charge here. I don't know
- 8:26Speaker 2: the reasons that they pulled her over each time. It
- 8:29Speaker 2: may well be that they knew of her and stopped
- 8:31Speaker 2: her because they knew that they didn't have a license, or
- 8:33Speaker 2: maybe she was doing something else. Don't know. In each instance,
- 8:38Speaker 2: she was charged, and then you get a court date,
- 8:41Speaker 2: and you know, all these things take time, And while
- 8:45Speaker 2: the first charge is pending, she did it again, and
- 8:48Speaker 2: then yet again, so on the subsequent charges. The judge
- 8:56Speaker 2: in the case knew about the earlier charges that were there,
- 8:59Speaker 2: but as I said, when you're in a cody in
- 9:02Speaker 2: which all the judges are evers appointed judges, your chances
- 9:07Speaker 2: of being able to do whatever the hell you want
- 9:10Speaker 2: are greater. This ever's appointed judge is Michael Keenan's. After
- 9:18Speaker 2: each instance, he released her on a five hundred dollars
- 9:21Speaker 2: signature bond. Do I need to explain what a signature
- 9:24Speaker 2: bond is? I always do it. Do you think I
- 9:25Speaker 2: still do? Yes? I do five hundred dollars. Signature bond
- 9:30Speaker 2: means you sign your name and if you violate the bond,
- 9:34Speaker 2: they could say you got to give us five hundred dollars, which,
- 9:37Speaker 2: by the way, in the history of this I'd love
- 9:39Speaker 2: to find the cases of somebody who then forked over
- 9:41Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. It means that you sign your name
- 9:45Speaker 2: and you skate free, all right. So that's all in
- 9:49Speaker 2: course of this year. Now we get to this past Saturday,
- 9:52Speaker 2: December six, she's charged of stealing all this stuff from Walmart.
- 10:00Speaker 2: She also obviously violated all of these bails from the
- 10:04Speaker 2: driving cases. When you're all free on bail, you can't
- 10:07Speaker 2: do this, you can't do that, you can't do the
- 10:08Speaker 2: other thing. And also it might add where did they
- 10:10Speaker 2: find all the stolen stuff in her car? Reading she
- 10:13Speaker 2: drove there. Now, this time she went before a different
- 10:19Speaker 2: Washington County judge, and well, the judge's names are different,
- 10:22Speaker 2: they all have the same thing in common. They're all
- 10:25Speaker 2: Ever's appointed judges. Because the Republican Party in Washington County,
- 10:29Speaker 2: at least under its former leadership, could never get its
- 10:32Speaker 2: act together and recruit strawing candidates to run against these
- 10:35Speaker 2: crappy judges that they're saddled with in these county, these
- 10:38Speaker 2: Evers judges. To the credit of the Republican Party in
- 10:41Speaker 2: Waukeshaw County, every time Evers puts a judge on there,
- 10:45Speaker 2: they find a competent alternative candidate to run against the
- 10:50Speaker 2: Evers judges. And I don't believe unless something's just slipped
- 10:54Speaker 2: my mind, I think every Ever's judge that was appointed
- 10:57Speaker 2: in Washington in Waukeshaw County got defeat in the subsequent election.
- 11:01Speaker 2: When a judge is appointed by the governor, they do
- 11:04Speaker 2: have to ultimately stand for election. In Washington County, though,
- 11:07Speaker 2: Ebers puts the judges on the bench and they are
- 11:10Speaker 2: either unopposed or they win the election, which is again
- 11:13Speaker 2: for those of you in Washington County wondering why people
- 11:16Speaker 2: are going into your stores and shoplift and stuff right
- 11:18Speaker 2: and left, and all these scoff laws are out there.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It's because you got four lay mass judges. Now there
- 11:24Speaker 2: is a more conservative DA there. I don't know whether
- 11:30Speaker 2: or not the low bails here are because you had
- 11:33Speaker 2: a dead ass assistant District Attorney plopping into court being
- 11:36Speaker 2: just as pathetic as the DA's office was under the
- 11:39Speaker 2: last DA, or not. So here's Sophia Malik. Now she's
- 11:44Speaker 2: stealing all of the stuff, and she's got all of
- 11:45Speaker 2: the pending charges against her for all these driving well
- 11:50Speaker 2: revoked cases, driving a lot of valid license and so on.
- 11:54Speaker 2: So what do you think happened in the most recent case?
- 11:58Speaker 2: This time around, she's in round of Sandra Gearath. Sandra
- 12:02Speaker 2: Gearanath is another eva's appointed judge, because they say in
- 12:04Speaker 2: Washington County that's the only kind of judge they have
- 12:07Speaker 2: is an ever's appointed judge. Sandra Gearnath. Is there a
- 12:15Speaker 2: signature bond of fifteen hundred dollars, it's still a signature bond.
- 12:19Speaker 2: She let her go again? All right, now, just tell me,
- 12:22Speaker 2: let's imagine your Sophia Malik, you'd have to die your
- 12:25Speaker 2: hair a little bit red. She's got kind of like
- 12:27Speaker 2: the multicolored hair, but not an extreme case of it.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Let's imagine you're her. Please tell me why you wouldn't
- 12:34Speaker 2: a get right back in the car, drive and go somewhere.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I would encourage not a Walmart. They got cameras everywhere.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I don't know there any guidance on the store chain.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Coles under its new management is changing its thing. But
- 12:48Speaker 2: if you added a shoplift them and you can go
- 12:50Speaker 2: into Coles and say, hey, calls run by you stupid
- 12:54Speaker 2: idiotic lefties, I'm swiping your stuff. Coles is cracking down.
- 12:57Speaker 2: From what I hear. There are a few of those,
- 13:02Speaker 2: like Urban Outfitters and all of those that they would anyway,
- 13:06Speaker 2: She's gonna probably go and drive and steal it. But
- 13:09Speaker 2: if you're why wouldn't you Now if she drives recklessly
- 13:19Speaker 2: and dangerously and God forbid, kills someone, people were going
- 13:24Speaker 2: to turn back and wondering why after we kept catching
- 13:27Speaker 2: or driving without a license, we didn't do anything to
- 13:30Speaker 2: work at the very least make her come up with
- 13:34Speaker 2: some cash to get out of jail. And the answer
- 13:41Speaker 2: is if you're not going to be troubled enough to
- 13:46Speaker 2: recruit a strong candidate or vote for an alternative candidate
- 13:49Speaker 2: against the sorry case of Evers judges that you have,
- 13:53Speaker 2: this is what's gonna happen. So you have a conservative,
- 13:55Speaker 2: law abiding committee, like in this case Hartford's in Washington County,
- 13:58Speaker 2: I'm sure they can't stand these people that are going
- 14:00Speaker 2: into Walmart and stealing stuff like this, and they're wondering
- 14:03Speaker 2: where they steal again and again and again and again
- 14:05Speaker 2: and again. What do you think you're gonna get when
- 14:06Speaker 2: you got these kinds of Evers judges. This is what
- 14:09Speaker 2: lefties believe in. I would argue that with all the
- 14:22Speaker 2: shoplifting going on and all the baggage, she had just
- 14:25Speaker 2: keep breaking the law and continuing to drive. After she
- 14:28Speaker 2: gets caught driving, I would have said, seventy five hundred
- 14:33Speaker 2: dollars cash. My guess is she doesn't have it. She
- 14:37Speaker 2: might have to find some idiot who's able to come.
- 14:40Speaker 2: We do have the advantage in Wisconsin of not being
- 14:42Speaker 2: plagued by a class of individuals that are the scum
- 14:46Speaker 2: of the earth. Bail bondsmen. Bail bondsmen exists for the
- 14:49Speaker 2: sole purpose of letting crooks get out of jail, you
- 14:52Speaker 2: only have to post ten percent of the states that
- 14:54Speaker 2: have bail bonds, and we don't think God in Wisconsin
- 14:59Speaker 2: have all of that. That dog, the bounty hudder and
- 15:01Speaker 2: all of that. They work for bail bondsman companies with
- 15:03Speaker 2: a guy where the person runs off and skips, well,
- 15:07Speaker 2: don't let them skip. Make a pace to post the
- 15:09Speaker 2: whole thing. We have that. But the alternative is because
- 15:12Speaker 2: you don't have the ability to post only ten percent
- 15:14Speaker 2: for bail if we end up setting this really low
- 15:16Speaker 2: bail of the pathetic signature butt. So that's the story
- 15:20Speaker 2: that I chose to lead the program with, because again,
- 15:22Speaker 2: if you're wondering why this stuff goes on, it's because
- 15:25Speaker 2: we not only enable it. The message she's getting and
- 15:29Speaker 2: maybe at some point one of these Washington County judges
- 15:32Speaker 2: is actually going to get a brain to pop into
- 15:34Speaker 2: their head, or maybe there will be some pressure that
- 15:37Speaker 2: the voters will actually vote for our conservative candidate that
- 15:40Speaker 2: runs against them, that it might dawn on them to
- 15:44Speaker 2: stop letting people drive without license. I mean, this problem
- 15:47Speaker 2: is plaguing Milwaukee, and we know why it plagues Milwaukee.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Milwaukee's a lefty city, the judges I left you. There's
- 15:52Speaker 2: a what are where conservatis supposed to do about that?
- 15:55Speaker 2: In Milwaukee? A guy like me, I'm a conservative of Milwaukee.
- 15:57Speaker 2: The people that keep electing lefty judges. We have a
- 15:59Speaker 2: lefty East or any lefty judges. They believe leftism, they
- 16:01Speaker 2: don't believe in punishing people, etcetera, etcetera. What's your excuse
- 16:04Speaker 2: in a community they had like seventy three percent voted
- 16:07Speaker 2: for Trump. Let me move on. We have another case
- 16:15Speaker 2: of marijuana paranoia. I just don't think there are many
- 16:20Speaker 2: people that are focusing on this issue other than me.
- 16:25Speaker 2: We have seen certainly a link between mass shooters and marijuana,
- 16:31Speaker 2: school shooters and marijuana. I swear almost all of them
- 16:35Speaker 2: are potheads. This doesn't mean that everyone who uses marijuana
- 16:39Speaker 2: becomes a killer, but it certainly seems to me that
- 16:42Speaker 2: there's a contributory link between paranoia and marijuana. The other
- 16:48Speaker 2: part of this is many people who are you smoking
- 16:50Speaker 2: or taking the edibles or whatever with the marijuana are
- 16:53Speaker 2: using other stuff and they're mixing things. This story a
- 16:58Speaker 2: thirty two year old Milwahia she's a pharmacy student, shot
- 17:06Speaker 2: and killed by a friend who she was smoking pot with.
- 17:15Speaker 2: The accused killer is Jamika Mills. Didn't have much of
- 17:20Speaker 2: a criminal record other than there's a lot of harassment,
- 17:23Speaker 2: restraining order cases on her and so on, but nothing
- 17:25Speaker 2: otherwise overlay serious. According to the criminal complaint, she was
- 17:30Speaker 2: hanging around with a friend of hers named Ariel Spilner.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Ariel went to DeForest High School that's west of Madison,
- 17:43Speaker 2: East of Madison, i should say, and was a pharmacy
- 17:49Speaker 2: student at Accordia University of Wisconsin. It was one of
- 17:53Speaker 2: their birthdays that they're hanging out together smoking pot, and apparently,
- 17:58Speaker 2: according to the criminal complaint, Hills began acting erradically and paranoid.
- 18:05Speaker 2: This has happened again and again and again with people
- 18:08Speaker 2: that either smoke too much hotter, they're mixing it with
- 18:10Speaker 2: something now with everybody, all sorts of drugs act differently
- 18:14Speaker 2: with others. What I can tell you for those people
- 18:17Speaker 2: that are my generation and they think that the marijuana
- 18:19Speaker 2: that we're talking about is the marijuana that we had
- 18:21Speaker 2: like fifty years ago, I mean, I mean our stuff
- 18:26Speaker 2: was watered down, and first of all, they grow the
- 18:28Speaker 2: pot now to be more potent. Secondly, there's only so
- 18:31Speaker 2: much you can get when you smoke, but if you're
- 18:33Speaker 2: throwing down fifteen fistfuls of edibles and so on, you
- 18:36Speaker 2: can get very And it is a significant problem that
- 18:39Speaker 2: no one is paying any attention to. We're gravitating forward
- 18:43Speaker 2: legalizing it everywhere, even though the side of effects of it,
- 18:47Speaker 2: the negative side effects of it. The case for them.
- 18:51Speaker 2: You can debate forever what's more serious, cigarettes or marijuana.
- 18:57Speaker 2: The cigarettes don't seem to create behavior changes, but they
- 19:00Speaker 2: create they do terrible things to your own body. Paul
- 19:07Speaker 2: says people take the bunk gummies because they don't want
- 19:09Speaker 2: to ruin their lungs, but they're take the gummies have
- 19:11Speaker 2: so much that are in there. I mean, I just
- 19:13Speaker 2: remember when I was a kid and I was into beer.
- 19:16Speaker 2: When I was in college. Thank god, I think I
- 19:18Speaker 2: did pot less than ten times in my life. But
- 19:20Speaker 2: I mean that was when people start fitted out of
- 19:22Speaker 2: figuring out the brownies thing. And I think with the
- 19:24Speaker 2: pot of the brownie is the only reason not to
- 19:26Speaker 2: load the pot up with the brownies. You were having
- 19:28Speaker 2: to eat them. You'd put him in brownie so that
- 19:30Speaker 2: the chocolate been mastered. The fact that they that you
- 19:33Speaker 2: were eating the marijuana eating and not just inhale it
- 19:36Speaker 2: eating it. Well, you put that strung and it because
- 19:38Speaker 2: you were trying to get a buzzy. Your blasted out
- 19:40Speaker 2: of your mind. Imagine now with these edibles. Next case,
- 19:46Speaker 2: this one deals with the courts as well. James Troops
- 19:50Speaker 2: is a former judge who was one of the supporters
- 19:54Speaker 2: of President Trump in the controversial twenty twenty election. He
- 19:59Speaker 2: was one of the end of viduals who was advising
- 20:01Speaker 2: Trump and was part of the plan to propose an
- 20:04Speaker 2: alternate set of electors from Wisconsin to challenge the Biden electors,
- 20:10Speaker 2: and Biden had been awarded the state. The left has
- 20:14Speaker 2: been obsessed with this and has claimed that this is
- 20:16Speaker 2: some sort of a crime that they put together the
- 20:18Speaker 2: slate of electors to try to challenge the results of
- 20:20Speaker 2: the election. So James Troopers is criminally charged. Trump has
- 20:26Speaker 2: pardoned the majority of those who were convicted in these
- 20:29Speaker 2: types of cases, but troopis has not yet been convicted.
- 20:32Speaker 2: His case is pending. He's charged in Dane County. Now,
- 20:39Speaker 2: I hope you all understand why he's charged in Dan County.
- 20:42Speaker 2: If you don't, don't worry, I'll tell you they're charging
- 20:45Speaker 2: him Dane County because they want a home field advantage.
- 20:48Speaker 2: You're a fake elector for Trump. Of course they're going
- 20:50Speaker 2: to charge them in Dan County. Don't matter what any
- 20:52Speaker 2: of it. It says a jury's going to convict you.
- 20:55Speaker 2: But we're not at that point yet. Troops is challenging
- 21:00Speaker 2: the case in front of the judge and with motions.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Troops and his lawyers have asked the judge in Dane County,
- 21:08Speaker 2: John Hyland, to step aside from the case to recuse himself.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Troopis is arguing that Hyland is biased, and the evidence
- 21:25Speaker 2: that he presented, which is now making its way into
- 21:28Speaker 2: the mainstream media, is that a recent ruling in the
- 21:33Speaker 2: case that Highland issued was not authored by Highland. Judges
- 21:41Speaker 2: can have law clerks right their rulings. Now this is
- 21:44Speaker 2: a Dane County Circuit judge. They don't think they have
- 21:46Speaker 2: law clerks. The argument here is that he had a
- 21:49Speaker 2: total outsider write the opinion. I'm going to quote from
- 21:54Speaker 2: a state that was issued by people that are supporting.
- 22:03Speaker 2: They have presented evidence that the opinion was presented to
- 22:07Speaker 2: the judge by a local left he named Jerry Remington.
- 22:12Speaker 2: He is the son of former Dan County Judge Frank Remington,
- 22:16Speaker 2: who can't stand Troopers. They are arguing that the Remingtons
- 22:22Speaker 2: wrote the opinion and Troop has simply issued it under
- 22:27Speaker 2: his name. If he did that, obviously it would be
- 22:32Speaker 2: an indication that he is acting unethically and maybe criminally.
- 22:37Speaker 2: A judge kiss can't put something out that somebody gives
- 22:40Speaker 2: it and claims its own opinion and sign his name
- 22:42Speaker 2: to it. That's worse than Biden in the auto pen.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Troopus's lawyers are asking the United States Department of Justice
- 22:52Speaker 2: at Pam Bondi's office to investigate this. In the meantime,
- 22:57Speaker 2: Hyland is refusing to recuse himself. This is the level
- 23:03Speaker 2: of justice that we have in Wisconsin and in Dane County.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Every single judge either ran with the supportive Democrats or
- 23:12Speaker 2: was appointed by a Democratic governor. As I said in
- 23:15Speaker 2: the Washington County what what he expected Dane County. Every
- 23:19Speaker 2: one of the judges is bad. Why do you think
- 23:21Speaker 2: that when the Democrats run a candidate for the state
- 23:24Speaker 2: Supreme Court, it's always a Milwaukee judge or a Dane
- 23:26Speaker 2: County judge. One of the most strident lefties of all,
- 23:30Speaker 2: Chris Taylor, is the one that's going to be on
- 23:31Speaker 2: the ballot for the Supreme Court this spring. These are
- 23:40Speaker 2: star chambers. Troopis has no chance. His only hope is
- 23:45Speaker 2: after they convict him, which would mean it's barring him.
- 23:50Speaker 2: The Trump will pardon him if the case gets handled
- 23:53Speaker 2: in time. But you can't fall back and hope that
- 23:56Speaker 2: a president is going to pardon you, be just because
- 23:59Speaker 2: we have democratic jud judges in this country that will
- 24:01Speaker 2: deliberately wrongly convict people. If there is a criminal investigation,
- 24:10Speaker 2: you can establish a grand jury and they can call
- 24:13Speaker 2: the Remingtons and call Highland of the stand and have
- 24:15Speaker 2: them testify under oath as to who wrote this opinion,
- 24:18Speaker 2: and let's see whether or not they take the fifths
- 24:21Speaker 2: or fess up and admit what went on. This is
- 24:27Speaker 2: out and out corruption. You can debate forever as to
- 24:33Speaker 2: whether or not conservative judges should be doing the same
- 24:36Speaker 2: thing to liberals, break the law and be unethical. I
- 24:39Speaker 2: would say probably you shouldn't. But that's part of the
- 24:42Speaker 2: problem in all of these convictions of Trump that were
- 24:47Speaker 2: going on, these illicit prosecutions of Trump, Fannie Willis, all
- 24:52Speaker 2: of that stuff. The sexual assault trial, it was simply
- 24:56Speaker 2: Democrats coming out with wrong decisions, wrongly charging or convicting
- 25:00Speaker 2: Trump because they didn't elect Trump, nothing to do with
- 25:03Speaker 2: any facts. Everything's just fabricated. The judiciary was always supposed
- 25:11Speaker 2: to be the branch of government that was above all
- 25:13Speaker 2: of this. Republicans and Democrats can enlevele themselves like crazy,
- 25:16Speaker 2: but you're supposed to count on judges to apply the
- 25:19Speaker 2: law fairly. The scales of justice. You know, she's Lady Justice.
- 25:23Speaker 2: She's blindfolded because she's not supposed to consider who it
- 25:25Speaker 2: is it's in front of just the facts of the case.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Those days are long gone, and now this the ideology
- 25:39Speaker 2: of leftists on crime is in place in about fifteen
- 25:43Speaker 2: states in the United States, the ones that are really
- 25:45Speaker 2: really liberal. You're in Wisconsin. We're a mixed bag. Illinois,
- 25:50Speaker 2: as I've pointed out a number of times now, two
- 25:55Speaker 2: years ago, imposed the law of no cash bail. If
- 25:59Speaker 2: you're arrested, in charge, you get out. Everybody gets out
- 26:02Speaker 2: with the signature bond. The only cases are those in
- 26:05Speaker 2: which bail is denied, and like a mass murder, for example,
- 26:09Speaker 2: they can deny bail, but if there is a bail,
- 26:13Speaker 2: it's simply no cash and that's the overwhelming majority of criminals.
- 26:18Speaker 2: So in Illinois, virtually everyone other than maybe a killer
- 26:22Speaker 2: who commits a crime gets to walk for you. So
- 26:25Speaker 2: we keep getting these cases of people who've been arrested ten, fifteen,
- 26:28Speaker 2: twenty times and then do something terribly. The Republicans have
- 26:37Speaker 2: been pretty inept at towering Democrats with this, but they
- 26:40Speaker 2: all believe in it. There are a fair number of
- 26:43Speaker 2: Republicans that were biting into it a few years ago,
- 26:45Speaker 2: and I managed to go after some of them. They
- 26:47Speaker 2: have their seminars over at the Badger Institute Criminal Justice Reform.
- 26:51Speaker 2: All of that crap. This case stories from Chicago Prosecutors
- 26:59Speaker 2: say a Northwest cardiologist was violently beaten in an elevator
- 27:05Speaker 2: at Northwestern Hospital by a man security recognized from thirty
- 27:10Speaker 2: plus incidents this year. The guy's been hanging around at
- 27:13Speaker 2: the hospital causing trouble. First of all, who hangs around
- 27:16Speaker 2: at a hospital? Well normally, but I mean, first of all,
- 27:23Speaker 2: you're a weird type of prebblemaker. If the place that
- 27:25Speaker 2: you're hanging out and causing trouble is a hospital, I'll
- 27:28Speaker 2: tell you often who they are. They're often street people.
- 27:32Speaker 2: The hospital is a warm place. Then they let you in,
- 27:35Speaker 2: they don't throw you out. Don't know what his background was,
- 27:37Speaker 2: but the security said that they recognize him for thirty
- 27:39Speaker 2: other incidents. The Chicago Police Department arrested him twelve times
- 27:44Speaker 2: this year alone, twelve times. Still free. Now he stabbed
- 27:49Speaker 2: a cardiologist. That's terrible for that cardiologist, for all of
- 27:54Speaker 2: his lefty colleagues that are wrote here again, seriously, what
- 27:57Speaker 2: do you think is going to happen? I'm gonna put
- 27:59Speaker 2: this same thing to the goofy evers judges and watching it,
- 28:03Speaker 2: counting this woman that's doing the shoplifting, driving without the lights.
- 28:06Speaker 2: How is this gonna end up going? Just continue to
- 28:08Speaker 2: put her on the street, put her on the street,
- 28:09Speaker 2: put on the seat. By the way, it states in
- 28:11Speaker 2: her criminal and in her file with on the driving
- 28:14Speaker 2: without a license charges that there's a resolution expected next
- 28:18Speaker 2: week on the seventeenth, so that they took all of
- 28:22Speaker 2: her driving without a license cases and throw them into one.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I'm just sitting here telling you, I'm betting she's gonna
- 28:28Speaker 2: get probation, that she'll get nothing for any of it. Now,
- 28:32Speaker 2: the shoplifting thing, we'll see what they what they do
- 28:34Speaker 2: to her and that that's the separate case and that'll
- 28:36Speaker 2: take a little bit longer to go along. But again
- 28:39Speaker 2: she's free on that one as well. I'm killing you,
- 28:43Speaker 2: And I'm not suggesting that all of these cases had
- 28:46Speaker 2: the same level of pattern of violence that was leading
- 28:48Speaker 2: up to oh losing his name, the Walker Shop, Darrol Brooks,
- 28:54Speaker 2: the Daryl Brooks case. Daryl Brooks had cases of violence,
- 28:57Speaker 2: but a lot of it was this crap. We've learned
- 29:01Speaker 2: nothing from slapping the wrist repeatedly of chronic lawbreakers. Nothing.
- 29:13Speaker 2: And as I say it, Milwaukee's going the way of
- 29:17Speaker 2: Chicago and San Francisco with regard to the criminal justice
- 29:20Speaker 2: thing and so on. There is zero excuse for Washington
- 29:23Speaker 2: County none. What's excuse? What's excuse? Now? They did, as
- 29:31Speaker 2: I say, they had a lefty district attorney Benson for
- 29:33Speaker 2: a number of years, he retired, he handpicked his replacement,
- 29:38Speaker 2: and she had an opponent of the Republican primary, more
- 29:40Speaker 2: conservative Da Broughts, and he managed to win. That's a start.
- 29:45Speaker 2: And hopefully in the judicial elections, they're going to run
- 29:48Speaker 2: challengers against all of your rotten judges that you're saddled
- 29:50Speaker 2: with up there in Washington County and some of these
- 29:52Speaker 2: elections and gradually take care of it. But you hear
- 29:56Speaker 2: very little groundswell of opposition. Every police chief in Washington
- 30:00Speaker 2: County should be standing up each time one of these
- 30:02Speaker 2: things happen and condemn your crappy judges. You're saddled with there.
- 30:06Speaker 2: But again, Tony Ebs is putting a judge on the bench.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Who do you think he's gonna put on? Evers doesn't
- 30:13Speaker 2: pick these judges himself. The guy's half gone. Maggie Gow's
- 30:17Speaker 2: the real governor of the state. She's a lefty. She's
- 30:19Speaker 2: gonna pluck lefty judges and put him in there. What
- 30:23Speaker 2: do you think she's gonna do? It'd be like if
- 30:25Speaker 2: you had a conservative. Let's suppose I was the governor.
- 30:28Speaker 2: You think I'm gonna go put in a bunch of lefties?
- 30:30Speaker 2: Why would I do that. I'm gonna put in somebody
- 30:32Speaker 2: who thinks the way that I think. Stop ranting and raving,
- 30:35Speaker 2: all right, this is the Mark Duelling podcast. This is
- 30:41Speaker 2: the Markdlling podcast. There are many times in which you
- 30:47Speaker 2: can't help but look at a story and sort of
- 30:49Speaker 2: feel superior. I mean, I'm honest about myself. I'm half
- 30:54Speaker 2: an idiot, but there's a limit as the house stupid
- 31:00Speaker 2: I am. This is going to bring us to the
- 31:02Speaker 2: Sharon More case, head football coach at the University of Michigan,
- 31:07Speaker 2: lost everything and now he's sitting in jail because he
- 31:11Speaker 2: can't keep his pants sept guy's married with four kids,
- 31:15Speaker 2: and he's the head coach at Michigan that pays millions
- 31:18Speaker 2: and millions of dollars. The details are starting to filter
- 31:26Speaker 2: out in the case, in part because the woman involved,
- 31:30Speaker 2: evidently involved, scrubbed your social media yesterday. The story is
- 31:34Speaker 2: going something like this University of Michigan and again they've
- 31:38Speaker 2: had problems in their athletic department. They had to let
- 31:40Speaker 2: the basketball coach, Juwan Howard go. He was a basket case.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh the former football coach, you know, tremendous success
- 31:49Speaker 2: by the time that he had left bought. There were
- 31:52Speaker 2: recruiting violations, the whole Connor Stallion's thing, the guy that
- 31:55Speaker 2: was spying on opposition teams, etc. But nothing to the
- 32:03Speaker 2: point of inappropriate sexual conduct and so on. Sharon Moore
- 32:08Speaker 2: was the right hand man of Jim Harbaugh and he
- 32:10Speaker 2: got the job in Harbaugh left to go to the NFL. Apparently,
- 32:16Speaker 2: University of Michigan officials were notified earlier in the year
- 32:21Speaker 2: that there was an inappropriate relationship going on between the
- 32:25Speaker 2: football coach and someone on staff. The story indicates that
- 32:32Speaker 2: they didn't have enough to act on it, and I
- 32:38Speaker 2: understand you need to have enough to act on it.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Anybody can say anything. And my guess is that probably
- 32:43Speaker 2: somebody said, hey, the coach is messing around, but everybody's
- 32:46Speaker 2: denying it, so you don't have a criminal I don't
- 32:49Speaker 2: know if they have the ability to grab his cell
- 32:51Speaker 2: phones or not, if he's an employee or not, but
- 32:53Speaker 2: nothing really came of it. And then they say in
- 32:56Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours they were able to verify
- 33:01Speaker 2: the allegation. So Moore was fired yesterday afternoon. Last night,
- 33:10Speaker 2: he was arrested after an incident at a woman's house.
- 33:15Speaker 2: The woman happens to live in the community where the
- 33:17Speaker 2: police arrested, and while she hasn't been named, it appears
- 33:20Speaker 2: as though he went to her house after she was fired.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Now I'm putting two and two together. I believe the
- 33:25Speaker 2: verification that they got is that she said he did it.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Now you would think I'm a guy, I'm not married,
- 33:32Speaker 2: But I'm a guy. You'd think that most guys would
- 33:35Speaker 2: think through that. If you have a girlfriend on the
- 33:37Speaker 2: side who's doing something, you're gonna have a hard time ditchinger.
- 33:41Speaker 2: And at some point, if you're married in four kids,
- 33:43Speaker 2: you're either going to divorce your wife and you know,
- 33:45Speaker 2: have a visitation with your four kids, you're gonna have
- 33:47Speaker 2: to marry the girlfriend. But there must have been some
- 33:50Speaker 2: reason in which she verified and corroborated the allegation. So
- 33:55Speaker 2: now he's ruined, his career is shot, and apparently went confrontator.
- 34:01Speaker 2: He's not been charged, he's only been arrested, but apparently
- 34:04Speaker 2: there was some sort of incident in which maybe violence
- 34:07Speaker 2: is too strong of a word, we don't know yet,
- 34:10Speaker 2: but it was an incident. Policeman notified, and now he's arrested.
- 34:14Speaker 2: So the dumbass responds to the fact that she essentially
- 34:18Speaker 2: ratted out their relationship by being idiotic enough to go
- 34:20Speaker 2: to her house and try to do something about it,
- 34:24Speaker 2: which begs the larger question. It's the same question I
- 34:27Speaker 2: asked with regard to these idiots that are looking at
- 34:29Speaker 2: kiddie porn. Is it worth it if the consequences of
- 34:36Speaker 2: getting caught. Is you ruin your career? Is this girlfriend
- 34:44Speaker 2: on the side worth that? Evidently not, since he panicked,
- 34:48Speaker 2: now getting himself arrested over the whole thing. Here's the
- 34:54Speaker 2: thing about this. If there's anything in our society for
- 34:58Speaker 2: which the rules are just clear, here a boss can't
- 35:02Speaker 2: have sex with a subordinate. I mean this is bike
- 35:05Speaker 2: Mike now basically established. You not only can't have sex
- 35:12Speaker 2: with him, you can't even like ask or try to
- 35:14Speaker 2: drive at it or Hinna. You can't, like Matt lower
- 35:16Speaker 2: your way or you can't do it. The number of
- 35:20Speaker 2: people at Corporate America, Sports World and someone that have
- 35:23Speaker 2: been fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate,
- 35:29Speaker 2: It goes on and on and on and on it.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I'm telling you, who doesn't know that it's a good thing.
- 35:35Speaker 2: You don't have subordinates? Who, So, Dave Michael, we do
- 35:43Speaker 2: structure that under you. You were claiming you have some authority.
- 35:48Speaker 2: I want to see you ordered one day. I want
- 35:50Speaker 2: to see you right now, go order Dave Michael's to
- 35:52Speaker 2: do something. Are you a lame duck? Anyway? They'll just
- 35:55Speaker 2: blow you off. All right. Let's imagine you had some
- 36:00Speaker 2: female weekend producer even if you have. First of all,
- 36:03Speaker 2: you've got the consequences of your wife killing you if
- 36:05Speaker 2: you did anything like this. But I suppose you didn't
- 36:08Speaker 2: have that. You know that that's a fireable offense. Everyone
- 36:13Speaker 2: knows that. There's only one exception here. You can do
- 36:18Speaker 2: it if you work for Tony Evers. Other than that example,
- 36:23Speaker 2: Tony Evers is chief of staff as a relationship with
- 36:25Speaker 2: Tony Evers's press secretary chief of staff Maggie gow As
- 36:28Speaker 2: the boss brick cutterback is and it's been exposed, it's
- 36:30Speaker 2: been reported by the media, and Evers is allowing it.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Other than Tony Evers, every single employer, particularly of anything
- 36:37Speaker 2: pretending to government or public, a thready company or something,
- 36:39Speaker 2: it's a fireable offense if you mess around with an underlay.
- 36:42Speaker 2: And the reason it's a fireable offense is the individual
- 36:47Speaker 2: who is the underlink can always turn around and file
- 36:49Speaker 2: a lawsuit in the employer is going to have to
- 36:51Speaker 2: pay a massive amount of damages, So you ban the
- 36:53Speaker 2: employee from doing it. As for as she rode more again,
- 36:58Speaker 2: I'm a male. I mean, I've never been married. I
- 37:02Speaker 2: get that if you're married and you want to mess around,
- 37:05Speaker 2: it's not like you can be real openly, so you're
- 37:08Speaker 2: going to probably mess around with somebody in the workplace
- 37:10Speaker 2: because you've got an excuse for being in the workplace.
- 37:13Speaker 2: It's not like you know so, but the consequences of
- 37:17Speaker 2: messing around outside of work are only well, maybe your
- 37:22Speaker 2: wife would be hacked off. You're not going to get
- 37:23Speaker 2: fired over when you do it in a case of
- 37:26Speaker 2: a subordinate it raises all of the issues that are
- 37:29Speaker 2: in every employee code of conduct that are out there.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Sin O Cheron Morris fired. In the meantime, the internet
- 37:35Speaker 2: is already rife with why did they wait on? The
- 37:37Speaker 2: university apparently is going to say we didn't corroborate the
- 37:40Speaker 2: story until yesterday, which tells me she must have been
- 37:43Speaker 2: the one that corroborated it. The alternative theory is Michigan.
- 37:48Speaker 2: You know, all of these every college football team, the
- 37:52Speaker 2: fan base is just insane. If you're not gonna win
- 37:54Speaker 2: a national championship, they want to fire the coach. These
- 37:56Speaker 2: teams are firing coaches, and they're hiring replacements that are
- 37:58Speaker 2: nowhere near as good and maybe, okay, well, Sharon Moore
- 38:01Speaker 2: wasn't as good as Jim Harbough. Maybe we want to
- 38:03Speaker 2: get rid of him. There are rumors out there that
- 38:05Speaker 2: the Alabama coach Kilin de Boor, who's only been there
- 38:07Speaker 2: two years, is Michigan's target and they're going to use
- 38:13Speaker 2: this to be able to fire more for cause if
- 38:15Speaker 2: a fire, and for cause he gets no buyout, and
- 38:17Speaker 2: try to hire the Alabama coach. I don't know if
- 38:19Speaker 2: that's true or not. It's just an internet rumor that's
- 38:22Speaker 2: out there, but if it is true, it would mean
- 38:24Speaker 2: that we now have four of the twelve teams in
- 38:26Speaker 2: college football playoffs whose coach is walking away from the
- 38:29Speaker 2: team when they're in the playoffs. Again, though Duboor thing
- 38:32Speaker 2: hasn't happened. It's just an internet rumor. Now to this,
- 38:39Speaker 2: the Democrats have an astonishing a huge field running for governor.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Sarah Rodriguez perceived to be the front runner because she
- 38:47Speaker 2: was Lieutenant governor and torony vers and she's made backed
- 38:49Speaker 2: by the public employee unions. But every left wing politician
- 38:53Speaker 2: from Madison is running, some crazy, some just regular old lefties.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Keld Roy state Senator, half nuts radical, she's running. Francesca Hong,
- 39:03Speaker 2: statement Member of the State Assembly Madison. She's running. Missy Hughes,
- 39:06Speaker 2: who's Evers is head of the Department of Economic Development,
- 39:09Speaker 2: is running and is expected to have the backing of
- 39:11Speaker 2: the Evers crowd. The Evers crowd does not like the
- 39:15Speaker 2: Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodrigers, but the Evers crowds backing. That's
- 39:19Speaker 2: how much influence are they have with the rest of
- 39:21Speaker 2: Democrats don't know. In the meantime, you have the county
- 39:23Speaker 2: executive in Milwaukee County, David Crowley, running getting backed by
- 39:26Speaker 2: a lot of Milwaukee Democratic officials. Now Mendela Barnes is running,
- 39:30Speaker 2: probably has better name recognition than the any of them,
- 39:33Speaker 2: and is going right after the African American support that
- 39:37Speaker 2: Crowley would have. This is already a fairly large field
- 39:40Speaker 2: of candidates, and now Joel Brennan's running. Joel Brennan has
- 39:45Speaker 2: a big deal. Joel Brennan is a major member of
- 39:54Speaker 2: the Milwaukee establishment. He's the president of the Greater Milwa
- 40:00Speaker 2: Hockey Committee. The Greater Milwaukee Committee used to be a
- 40:02Speaker 2: really big deal. It isn't so much anymore. But it's
- 40:06Speaker 2: kind of like the old guard of Milwaukee leadership, which
- 40:10Speaker 2: now is primarily it's a few corporate executives. The universities,
- 40:13Speaker 2: the hospitals and so on. But it's a big deal.
- 40:18Speaker 2: He's running for governor, and he's running for governor going
- 40:22Speaker 2: after a niche that I don't think exists in this party.
- 40:24Speaker 2: But you can't say this in a twelve candidate rate.
- 40:27Speaker 2: He has it for himself. He's running as a moderate
- 40:30Speaker 2: in a party in which all of them seem to
- 40:31Speaker 2: be trying to be AOC. Brennan is saying, I want
- 40:35Speaker 2: to run as a moderate. I'm going to be sort
- 40:36Speaker 2: of pro business. I'm going to work with Democrats and Republicans.
- 40:38Speaker 2: He's a lefty and you know he's been working for
- 40:40Speaker 2: lefties his entire life. But he thinks that there may
- 40:43Speaker 2: be a nicheer and the ability to raise a fortune
- 40:46Speaker 2: from the business community. Why everybody believes twenty six is
- 40:49Speaker 2: a democratic here, which you mean the Democrats would win
- 40:52Speaker 2: the governorship. Well, there are a whole lot of moderate
- 40:55Speaker 2: Wisconsin and it's business and so on that when I
- 40:58Speaker 2: hedge their bets and they don't want a lunatic life,
- 41:00Speaker 2: Mendela Barnes to be the governor, and could they come
- 41:03Speaker 2: up with enough money to bank rule Brannan to push
- 41:06Speaker 2: him over the finish line don't know. What we do
- 41:09Speaker 2: know is this unlike the normal thing where the Democratic
- 41:12Speaker 2: bosses annoying someone, they are going to have a massive,
- 41:15Speaker 2: multi candidate field of Democrats that are going to have
- 41:19Speaker 2: to go negative on one another in order to have
- 41:23Speaker 2: a chance of winning. I'm want to cover this story here.
- 41:31Speaker 2: We may or may not do a follow up on
- 41:33Speaker 2: this as time goes on. There is a drug. It's
- 41:43Speaker 2: a generic that's been out there for many, many years now.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Please pay attention closely. It's not ivermectin, but it's like ivermectin.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Ivermectin was the drug that began controversial during Ivermectin's went
- 41:56Speaker 2: around forever and ever and ever and ever. And it's
- 41:58Speaker 2: an anti parasitic. They call it a dew warmer. It's
- 42:02Speaker 2: you're treated for parasites. But because it does that, it
- 42:05Speaker 2: is thought to have significant properties in fighting other types
- 42:10Speaker 2: of invaders of the body. And there's pretty strong evidence
- 42:14Speaker 2: that ivermectin was indeed infective in fighting COVID. This druffic
- 42:17Speaker 2: isn't ivermectin. I'm just using it as a comparison. This drug,
- 42:20Speaker 2: the short term, the slogan for the slang for it
- 42:23Speaker 2: is fen Been. It's called finn bad. Come on, mark,
- 42:29Speaker 2: finn bandasol. That's it. F E n b E n
- 42:32Speaker 2: d A z l E. There is a published paper
- 42:42Speaker 2: by three academics. This is not based on a study,
- 42:48Speaker 2: It is based on anecdotal evidence, but they publish the
- 42:52Speaker 2: paper because they are trying to jump start looking into
- 42:55Speaker 2: this again. Fen Been finn ben has I want to
- 43:02Speaker 2: say this better, I'm just not doing it. Fenbendazol. That's it,
- 43:05Speaker 2: finn bendazol. It's been suspected of having very very good
- 43:11Speaker 2: properties in helping your body fight off invaders because it
- 43:14Speaker 2: is an antiparasitic. There are three separate cases of individuals
- 43:19Speaker 2: who had stage four cancer. Stage five's the d stage
- 43:23Speaker 2: four cancer. They self medicated themselves by taking fen Been,
- 43:28Speaker 2: and according to the published paper, all three of the
- 43:30Speaker 2: cases the individuals are cancer free now the papers now published.
- 43:39Speaker 2: It doesn't appear in the New England Journal of Medicine,
- 43:42Speaker 2: but it is in an academic journal. I'm going to
- 43:46Speaker 2: quote from the paper. The report highlights three cases of
- 43:49Speaker 2: patients with advanced cancer including breast, prostate and melanoma. I
- 43:54Speaker 2: think interesting, three different types of cancers. Two patients achieved
- 43:58Speaker 2: complete remission and one unachieved near complete remission after incorporating
- 44:03Speaker 2: fbc it's fenmen into their treatment regimens alongside other therapies
- 44:09Speaker 2: excluding chemotherapy. In other words, they didn't do chemo. All
- 44:13Speaker 2: three patients tolerated FBZ without any reported adverse effects, and
- 44:17Speaker 2: remission was sustained during period during follow up periods ranging
- 44:21Speaker 2: from eleven months to nearly three years. And then they
- 44:23Speaker 2: go through and they present the cases. No am I
- 44:28Speaker 2: saying Fanbang cures cancer. No, what I am saying is
- 44:31Speaker 2: it's that there are and you see this and any
- 44:33Speaker 2: number of things that are going on right now. There
- 44:35Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are talking about the
- 44:38Speaker 2: tremendous strength of taking vitamin D to help your body
- 44:42Speaker 2: ward things off. Now we have this, Why how come
- 44:46Speaker 2: no doctors? Why isn't there ready research? Because almost all
- 44:49Speaker 2: of the research that's being done is of new experimental
- 44:52Speaker 2: drugs that are being created by big pharma. A new
- 44:55Speaker 2: drug is under patent and you could charge a fortune
- 44:58Speaker 2: for it. The pharmaceutical companies couldn't care less about a
- 45:02Speaker 2: generic because anybody can make a generic when a drug
- 45:05Speaker 2: goes off patent, and as generic, any company can simply
- 45:08Speaker 2: produce it, and those generic drugs tend to be very
- 45:10Speaker 2: very cheap. The FDA and the CDC, as they have
- 45:16Speaker 2: argued forever, it's changing now with Kennedy, have been chills
- 45:21Speaker 2: for the drug companies and they simply disregard. In fact,
- 45:24Speaker 2: if you search and do a Google search on fenmen,
- 45:26Speaker 2: they'll say that there are no clinical trials proving that
- 45:28Speaker 2: it is effective. That's correct, Well, do one, but there
- 45:33Speaker 2: are none that have said he it doesn't work either
- 45:35Speaker 2: because it hasn't been tested. But we do have doctors
- 45:38Speaker 2: now that are reporting on people that are self reporting
- 45:41Speaker 2: and against self reporting, we don't have it verified. It's
- 45:43Speaker 2: not a trial group. And again, the hard thing with
- 45:45Speaker 2: any kind of drug testing on a cancer patient is
- 45:50Speaker 2: you've got to give half the people a placebol. Well,
- 45:52Speaker 2: what cancer patient wants to be Maybe I'm getting the placebo.
- 45:55Speaker 2: It's a hard thing to test. But one thing we
- 45:58Speaker 2: do know that you can certainly do is if somebody
- 46:00Speaker 2: who has cancer and they're croaking and they start on
- 46:03Speaker 2: this and it reverses, it's a pretty good indication that
- 46:06Speaker 2: maybe everybody ought to try it. Since the drug doesn't
- 46:09Speaker 2: seem to have any side effects, we have had a
- 46:13Speaker 2: scandal in the pharmaceutical and medical industry of various treatments
- 46:20Speaker 2: being shunted a side because the big drug companies don't
- 46:24Speaker 2: make money off of them. The thing that is just
- 46:27Speaker 2: to me so stunning is that the Left has decided
- 46:31Speaker 2: to make big pharma and arm of itself when they
- 46:34Speaker 2: embraced Fauci and they pushed for mandatory vaccines and disregarded
- 46:40Speaker 2: and mocked anybody who would try a drug that was
- 46:42Speaker 2: already out there. We all know that vitamin D helped
- 46:45Speaker 2: your body fight off COVID, but nobody was telling you
- 46:47Speaker 2: that because nobody's making any money off of it. The
- 46:51Speaker 2: CDC was in the hands of the drug companies. Now
- 46:54Speaker 2: Kennedy is changing the members of the panel and they're
- 46:57Speaker 2: more open minded on this stuff. But the stories out
- 47:01Speaker 2: there and it's getting some circulation from people. In many
- 47:04Speaker 2: cases doctors. There are a lot of doctors, generally the
- 47:06Speaker 2: ones that aren't tied into the big chains, that are
- 47:09Speaker 2: advocating for some of these things, that have a pretty
- 47:12Speaker 2: strong indication that they may at least in some cases work.
- 47:18Speaker 2: And finally this I posted this piece on x and
- 47:22Speaker 2: I'm only going to cover it briefly here, but if
- 47:24Speaker 2: you want to read the entire story, go to Mark
- 47:26Speaker 2: Belling Show on x dot com, which is my handle.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Texas Tech University is no I've got conservative leadership, and
- 47:35Speaker 2: you know the governor of Texas is a conservative. Trump
- 47:37Speaker 2: has put in place these rules trying to get all
- 47:38Speaker 2: this leftist crap out of the classroom. And in the
- 47:41Speaker 2: case of Texas Tech University, you have true believers that
- 47:43Speaker 2: are actually running the university, and the president of Texas
- 47:47Speaker 2: Tech has come up with his way of combating it. See,
- 47:52Speaker 2: it's not enough to just say you can't have DIII
- 47:54Speaker 2: or you can't put bias in your classroom, because how
- 47:56Speaker 2: do you judge whether or not bias is in there.
- 47:59Speaker 2: So they put in specific rules in writing, and they
- 48:01Speaker 2: have a flow chart and I'm going to read from
- 48:03Speaker 2: the flow chart here. Again, it's easier if you see it,
- 48:06Speaker 2: and I told you where you could find it. Is
- 48:09Speaker 2: the course material required for professional licensure certification or client
- 48:16Speaker 2: care in other words, whatever the class is, is this
- 48:19Speaker 2: required for you to advance in that degree? Now why
- 48:22Speaker 2: are they asking that question? It would be an explanation
- 48:26Speaker 2: of why a math teacher whether or not they should
- 48:28Speaker 2: be bringing up something or another about how racist America is.
- 48:31Speaker 2: The question is aimed at excluding stuff that is e
- 48:35Speaker 2: estraneus to the course. And then does faculty member believe
- 48:42Speaker 2: that the course material is relevant and necessary for classroom instruction?
- 48:45Speaker 2: If yes, then the next question is is it required
- 48:49Speaker 2: for professional certification in the field. If the answer is yes,
- 48:52Speaker 2: no immediate changes to the course are necessary. But if
- 48:55Speaker 2: the answer is no, does the faculty member request review
- 48:59Speaker 2: of scientific court its material to potentially remain in the course.
- 49:04Speaker 2: If yes, requests the department chair. If yes, request continues
- 49:09Speaker 2: to go to the dean. If yes, request continues to
- 49:11Speaker 2: go to the provost to consider. In other words, you've
- 49:13Speaker 2: got to get three levels of approval if you want
- 49:16Speaker 2: to continue to put this in the class if it
- 49:17Speaker 2: doesn't relate directly to to certification in the field. And
- 49:23Speaker 2: then after that, when it gets to the provost, does
- 49:26Speaker 2: the provost believe the material needs to remain. If the
- 49:28Speaker 2: answer is yes, the provost provides a recommendation and justification
- 49:32Speaker 2: of the chair and vice chair of academics for the
- 49:36Speaker 2: Student Affairs Committee and so on. So if they're doing
- 49:38Speaker 2: a Texas Tech and there's a story in the Daily
- 49:40Speaker 2: caller that I've linked up here on this. The faculty's
- 49:42Speaker 2: up in arms over this because now they're being forced
- 49:45Speaker 2: to document and explain why this lefty crap that they're
- 49:49Speaker 2: in there can be in their course. If you don't
- 49:52Speaker 2: put it in writing and you don't have the final
- 49:54Speaker 2: arbiter in this case, the president being a true believer
- 49:57Speaker 2: who doesn't want this crap in, you'll never get it out.
- 50:01Speaker 2: It is an interesting case study, though, and how to
- 50:04Speaker 2: get this stuff out of the coursework material. We've got
- 50:10Speaker 2: our football preview and football picks coming up next. We
- 50:14Speaker 2: covered quite a bit here. Should I fess up on
- 50:20Speaker 2: my latest level of idiocy? I just I mean I
- 50:25Speaker 2: kind of enjoy making fun of myself, and I mean,
- 50:27Speaker 2: there's only so much I could do making fun of
- 50:29Speaker 2: you and somebod people think it's kind of like I'm okay,
- 50:31Speaker 2: find you're an idiot, and I pointed out people think
- 50:33Speaker 2: that's mean. But if I draw attention to my own
- 50:35Speaker 2: being an idiot, I've been in need of dente WHI work.
- 50:40Speaker 2: It's pushing the end of the year. I go to
- 50:41Speaker 2: floid at the end of the year and so on,
- 50:43Speaker 2: So of course, get it done now, right, well, you know,
- 50:48Speaker 2: they do these X rays and okay, you got a
- 50:50Speaker 2: dead tooth. It's starting to hurt, only a little, but
- 50:55Speaker 2: it's okay, you look at it. It's got to go
- 50:57Speaker 2: because you don't want to wait too long because then
- 50:59Speaker 2: your toothache is miserable and awful. And a tooth extraction
- 51:04Speaker 2: it's like a root canal, but it's not exactly the
- 51:06Speaker 2: same thing, but it means they got to dig in
- 51:08Speaker 2: there and rip the whole damn thing out. You've had those,
- 51:11Speaker 2: haven't you? Two root canals? See this one is in
- 51:16Speaker 2: the front, it's not off to the side. But okay,
- 51:20Speaker 2: So I scheduled this for Tuesday, and you know, you
- 51:23Speaker 2: work with the oral surgeon and then my dentist, and
- 51:25Speaker 2: the plan was, and I'm not going to go through
- 51:27Speaker 2: all this because sort of boring, and I'm very happy
- 51:29Speaker 2: with the quality of care that i got, But the
- 51:30Speaker 2: plan was for my dentist. Right after that, they took
- 51:32Speaker 2: this tooth out for the dentist to put on a crown,
- 51:35Speaker 2: a temporary crown. Temporary chrowns are plastic, and put that
- 51:38Speaker 2: over the gap so that I'm not running around with
- 51:41Speaker 2: an empty gap muth and they create an implant. After
- 51:44Speaker 2: the thing is healed, they put the implant in and
- 51:45Speaker 2: then a new crown. But that's a month long thing,
- 51:48Speaker 2: so that I'm able in the meantime to have a
- 51:50Speaker 2: tooth in place in there. You know, they ripped the
- 51:53Speaker 2: other tooth out and so on it. I've had dental
- 51:55Speaker 2: work forever. My home outh is crowns and I even
- 51:58Speaker 2: recall having a root canal way back of the day.
- 52:00Speaker 2: So this is on Tuesday, and the dentist is talking
- 52:04Speaker 2: to me about this and so on. I said, well,
- 52:06Speaker 2: I have to give a speech on Wednesday. In fact,
- 52:10Speaker 2: I had a talk that I gave in Manatuish Waters yesterday,
- 52:14Speaker 2: so this will be perfect. I'll do the thing on Tuesday.
- 52:16Speaker 2: I recorded Wednesdays podcast on Monday, and the dentist is
- 52:19Speaker 2: kind of look at me, well, you think you should
- 52:21Speaker 2: talk to the surgeon and see if that's okay to
- 52:23Speaker 2: do that, And I thought, I mean I could, but
- 52:27Speaker 2: why why wouldn't it be I'm having it out on Tuesday.
- 52:31Speaker 2: And then she said, well, it's possible it's gonna affect
- 52:33Speaker 2: your speech. And I'm thinking you're putting this crown on there,
- 52:36Speaker 2: even though it's temporary and it's not sized. But will
- 52:38Speaker 2: you hear me right now, I don't sound any different.
- 52:40Speaker 2: I'm just thinking this is gonna be fine, this is
- 52:41Speaker 2: gonna be fine. It's okay. So they go in, they
- 52:45Speaker 2: numb me. They put fifteen shots in my mouth and
- 52:47Speaker 2: numb me on it just on and on and on
- 52:49Speaker 2: and on, so I feel nothing. The oral surgeon offered gas.
- 52:52Speaker 2: There's a question of whether or not you should take
- 52:54Speaker 2: the gas. You know what. The answer always is, yes,
- 52:58Speaker 2: it's HiT's the one. It's the one like buzz that's
- 53:03Speaker 2: actually legal. It doesn't I don't think you can get
- 53:05Speaker 2: addicted to it because you'd have to buzzt into what
- 53:08Speaker 2: dnnis office and figure out how to turn the thing
- 53:10Speaker 2: on and put it on your But I mean it
- 53:12Speaker 2: gives you a buzz so that they can do this
- 53:14Speaker 2: horrid stuff that's going on, and you're distracted and you're
- 53:17Speaker 2: a little bit So I say yes, the Rik and
- 53:19Speaker 2: I have not had the gas of years, have not
- 53:21Speaker 2: needed this, and a lot of dentists, but the over
- 53:23Speaker 2: the oral surgery they do that. Then I go to
- 53:24Speaker 2: the regular dentist. She puts the crown on in the
- 53:26Speaker 2: whole thing, and you know, because they put so much
- 53:29Speaker 2: numbing in because of where it was in my jaw
- 53:31Speaker 2: and so on. I was numbed for multiple hours getting
- 53:34Speaker 2: back to Tuesday evening, and I had to get up
- 53:37Speaker 2: really early Wednesday because it was the group is not
- 53:41Speaker 2: all that important, but our my partner in our podcast
- 53:44Speaker 2: of presenting sponsor U Line, was part of the organizer
- 53:47Speaker 2: of it, and they have big operations in Manitouish Waters,
- 53:50Speaker 2: and so therefore I meant driving and then flying on
- 53:53Speaker 2: the jet and going up there and then driving, et cetera.
- 53:55Speaker 2: And I gave a very nice talk. And by the way,
- 53:57Speaker 2: maned Wishwaters, that's way up there. You just think everything's
- 54:01Speaker 2: up north. You don't know this. It's still an hour
- 54:03Speaker 2: from Rhinelander. So we flew to Rhineland and then drive
- 54:05Speaker 2: for an hour. It just snowed like crazy. The night
- 54:08Speaker 2: before it was just so beautiful. The Holy Air is beautiful.
- 54:12Speaker 2: So I get all all of that. I'm telling you.
- 54:18Speaker 2: When the anesthesia war on, I think I have a
- 54:21Speaker 2: high pain threshold. I guess I had forgotten after they
- 54:25Speaker 2: do a root canal or a tooth extraction how much
- 54:28Speaker 2: it hurts. I mean Tuesday and I'm sitting at it
- 54:32Speaker 2: Holy cow. My first thing is I'm not going to
- 54:36Speaker 2: be able to fall asleep. It hurt too much to
- 54:38Speaker 2: fall asleep. Well, they did give me, you know, they
- 54:41Speaker 2: gave me a prescription of a narcotic painkiller and I've
- 54:45Speaker 2: had to take that in the past for headaches, and
- 54:47Speaker 2: I tolerated fairly well, I took one. Well, I'm telling
- 54:51Speaker 2: you nothing. So I get up, you know, at five
- 54:57Speaker 2: thirty or so yesterday morning to head to drive to
- 55:00Speaker 2: walk Egan for the planes, trains, et cetera. Part of
- 55:02Speaker 2: this in just telling you slooped out of my mind.
- 55:07Speaker 2: So after I drove and got onto the plane, and
- 55:10Speaker 2: then I was being driven from Ryan Landard and so on.
- 55:14Speaker 2: The presentation was given by a guy who was on
- 55:17Speaker 2: a significant amount of painkillers. Or the alternative would have
- 55:21Speaker 2: been is that I would have just been crying rather
- 55:23Speaker 2: than I do kind of remember what I said, and
- 55:27Speaker 2: I think it went fine, and I think I have
- 55:30Speaker 2: a high level of tolerance of this. But the stupidity is,
- 55:33Speaker 2: I mean, then I read the post, I guess I
- 55:35Speaker 2: had just forgotten. And now that I recall this, when
- 55:38Speaker 2: I had my root canal, I ended up getting one
- 55:39Speaker 2: of they call those air sockets or whatever not that
- 55:42Speaker 2: didn't happen. It's still too early to know if it
- 55:44Speaker 2: happens here. This is dry socket. This was only two
- 55:47Speaker 2: days ago that I haven't but now I remember after
- 55:49Speaker 2: the root canal, I was sore for a week and
- 55:51Speaker 2: a half, two weeks. Well, I guess I forgot that
- 55:54Speaker 2: one I agreed to. You know, I survived. See why
- 56:01Speaker 2: didn't I remain The dentist is even saying, well, do
- 56:03Speaker 2: you think that's a good idea? And I guess I
- 56:06Speaker 2: was kind of thinking that this was the same as
- 56:08Speaker 2: like just when they numb you to do a little
- 56:10Speaker 2: procedure or take a crown off, which is a nothing.
- 56:13Speaker 2: There's ant taking a crown off, which just pulling a
- 56:15Speaker 2: thing off the top, then going into your gums and
- 56:17Speaker 2: sawing out and chopping your boat apart. I'm here, I'm fine.
- 56:27Speaker 2: Whatever I hear, he goes, oh, I don't want to
- 56:29Speaker 2: do this. I don't want to do that. I don't
- 56:30Speaker 2: want to do the other thing. Ain't In the end,
- 56:33Speaker 2: it was. In the end, despite everything I described, it
- 56:35Speaker 2: was no big deal. All these people. I just saw
- 56:37Speaker 2: all these people that are want like all the millennials
- 56:39Speaker 2: that are whining about this and the anxiety and this
- 56:42Speaker 2: ad or the other thing. Am I not right? Everybody
- 56:47Speaker 2: has anxiety and everybody when they say that, I just
- 56:49Speaker 2: know when people say that they're in pain, I just
- 56:52Speaker 2: don't believe anybody anymore because I think that they claim
- 56:54Speaker 2: any kind of discomfort. Is this this terrible, awful, unbearable?
- 57:00Speaker 2: And I mean I get bad headaches all the time.
- 57:03Speaker 2: I'm used to pain. I'm used to it in my life.
- 57:04Speaker 2: I have arthritis in the neck with a pinge nerve.
- 57:07Speaker 2: I got all of this. I mean that mouth hurt.
- 57:13Speaker 2: I mean, you're taking up painkillers. It will mask the pain.
- 57:18Speaker 2: And you know, it wasn't like I was, you know,
- 57:20Speaker 2: flying the plane. I did ask if I could use
- 57:25Speaker 2: the private jet to go to Florida next week. I
- 57:28Speaker 2: did ask that, do you think the answer was yes
- 57:32Speaker 2: or no? The answer was not yes, and it was
- 57:34Speaker 2: not no. The answer was just greeted with laughter, like
- 57:38Speaker 2: that's not a joke. First of all, why not ask?
- 57:43Speaker 2: The worst they could do is say no, which I
- 57:44Speaker 2: knew they would say. But if they would have said yes,
- 57:48Speaker 2: I would have just felt guilty, you know, Get you
- 57:51Speaker 2: all right? Football coming up next? This is the mark
- 57:58Speaker 2: Belling Podcast, and it's the last podcast of the week,
- 58:01Speaker 2: which means it's time for our week they football preview
- 58:03Speaker 2: and some point spread picks, and we're joined as always
- 58:06Speaker 2: by Mike, well not as always because he was a
- 58:08Speaker 2: no show last week, but normally by Mike lative American
- 58:11Speaker 2: sports analysts and Madison. Their website is really easy a
- 58:16Speaker 2: sa wins dot com. I always ask Mike the same
- 58:21Speaker 2: question to start off, and I'm going to do it again.
- 58:23Speaker 2: Anything you'd like to share with us about what's going
- 58:25Speaker 2: on this week at at ASA.
- 58:27Speaker 3: Sure, I got some stuff for you this time.
- 58:28Speaker 2: Good.
- 58:29Speaker 3: We are Bowls start on Saturday night. Obviously, we have
- 58:33Speaker 3: a bull package up one nine for all of our bullpicks. Now,
- 58:36Speaker 3: we won't pick every bowl game, it's probably ten to
- 58:38Speaker 3: fifteen range. You'll get picks. We've been really good in college.
- 58:41Speaker 3: We were three and o last week. We won six
- 58:43Speaker 3: of our last seven top games in college. So they're
- 58:46Speaker 3: interested in our bullpickets around the front pole packages right
- 58:49Speaker 3: on the front page.
- 58:50Speaker 2: I'm finally getting smart. I'm happy with what happened last week.
- 58:54Speaker 2: The pick that I made on the radio was correct.
- 58:56Speaker 2: I had a really good opinion in Indiana covering the
- 59:00Speaker 2: spread against Ohio State, didn't have to use that on
- 59:02Speaker 2: the year, and so on, So I think I have
- 59:04Speaker 2: my mojo back. We're going into the bowl season, which
- 59:07Speaker 2: includes all of these lesser balls, some of which are
- 59:10Speaker 2: really good betting opportunities, and then you've got the lengthy
- 59:14Speaker 2: college football playoffs and so on, and as Mike mentioned,
- 59:17Speaker 2: there is one ball game on Saturday, but there's another
- 59:19Speaker 2: college game, the one kind of outlier game. It's the
- 59:23Speaker 2: last game of the regular season and the only two
- 59:26Speaker 2: teams that play in a non ball game this year,
- 59:29Speaker 2: and that's because it's the traditional game between Army and Navy.
- 59:34Speaker 2: They play every year on a semi neutral field. This
- 59:36Speaker 2: year it's in Baltimore, which is close to the Naval Academy,
- 59:39Speaker 2: but crowds are split in everything, and it's one of
- 59:44Speaker 2: those games in which the word tradition actually applies, and
- 59:49Speaker 2: it's always a good view. The games are almost always competitive,
- 59:54Speaker 2: and it's clearly the most important game of the year
- 59:57Speaker 2: for both schools. I mean, it's the ultimate rivalry the
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Army and the Navy. This year, both teams fit were
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: both teams are now in a conference. They're both in
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: the American Association. Navy had a little bit better of
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: a year, but from once the teams are different. Navy
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: scored a lot of points but had a bad defense,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: and Army's defense was very good, but they don't know
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: much of an offense. They run similar offenses. The joke
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: on this game forever was just take the under. I
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: think Army and Navy had gone under sixteen seventeen, eighteen
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: years in a row, and finally it hasn't. Probably the
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: lines just got a little bit low, but I'd be
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: interested in Mike's analysis of the game. Navy's favored by
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: about six points in the game, and the point spread
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: is a low one eight thirty eight or thirty thirty
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: eight and a half because historically it's a low scoring game.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: But this year Navy's quarterbacks scoring machine, Navy puts up
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: points like crazy. Maybe it'll be different this year. What
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: do you think about this game?
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned the totals on that seventeen and two
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: to the under the last nineteen meetings, but two of
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: the last three have been over the total now, so
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: they've adjusted a little bit. The forty four points total
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: points they scored last year were the most they've scored
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: in this series since twenty thirteen, so it's just been
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: a low scoring series. You mentioned Navy is the better
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: team this year. They have the better record. They're nine
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: to two Army six and five. Much better stats for Navy.
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: Navy actually averages that they both run the ball all
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: the time. We know that, but Navy is much better
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: at it. They average almost two yards per carry more
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: than Army, and they allow cure yards per carry than
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: the Army. But this was similar to last year, Mark,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: I mean Navy. Army came in as the much better
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: team last year and favored by six and Navy won outright.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: So very similar situation this year at six and a
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: half point spread, with Navy as the favored is favored
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: eleven and the last fifteen have been decided by a
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: touchdown or less. I don't have a good feel for that.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Yeah, all of that would point to taking Army because
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: underdogs have done well, they're always close games and so
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: on or right, Navy has played somewhat better. Army's a
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: weird team though. They have two or three really quality
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: games this year where they either beat or took a
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: top team to the wire, but they've also lost to
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: a couple of really bad teams both have two weeks
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: to prepare. The thing that my theory forever on why
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: they're such low scoring games is they both run a
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: version of the option offense, and hardly anybody does, so
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: when those schools play everybody else, the defenses aren't used
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: to it. But if any two defenses would be, it's
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: Army and Navy because they in practice play defense against
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: their own team's offenses, so they are skilled in knowing
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: how to stop the option, and the coaching staffs are
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: very familiar with the offense, and that's why they tend
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: to be low scoring games. Lacking any better theory, that's
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: the one that I go with. College football playoffs are
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: going on end. The whole thing's a mess, which I
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: knew it would be a mess. The more teams that
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: you add to it, the more controversy there's going to
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: be about who's going to be in it. You've got
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: coaches of teams that are in the playoffs leaving their
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: schools even though they're still in. Now you've got just
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: all sorts of weird side shows. Michigan, which is not
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: in it, fired their coach or proceeded to get arrested
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: right after the game. There are internet rumors that Alabama's
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: coach is being targeted for this. They're in the playoffs,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: holding just bizarre. I want to dive get away from
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: all of that because the playoffs don't start yet this week.
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: They start weekend the following weekend. But you can for
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: those people who want to bet, and if you want
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: to go down to Potto or O Night in greenme
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: or Hoochhunk, they do have bets in which you can
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: bet on who's going to win the college football playoffs
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: and their odds for each team. Ohio State's a favorite,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I think I've looked at Pottawatami at a little over
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: two to one in Indiana is a close second choice
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: to that. What I want to ask Mike is with
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: the twelve teams in there, is there a good value bet?
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: In other words, a team that has a better chance
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: then maybe it's odds would indicate. And I kind of
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: looked at that, and I wondered if maybe the favorite,
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: maybe Ohio State is actually good value even though there
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: they won last year. I think having played Indiana already once,
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: they might not bump into them again if they get
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: knocked off the line that kind of jumped out of me.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Is I just wonder if you know a two to
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: one bet in Ohio State which gets a buy in
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: the first down, so they only have to win three games.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: Maybe that's the place to go. Do you have any
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: thoughts on this? It would there'd be one or two
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: teams that would present good value to win the whole
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: thing in college football.
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say the one team that I think has
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: some value as Texas Tech. Yeah. Now you can get
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: them at almost ten to one to win the whole thing.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: They're nine to nine and a half ten in that range.
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: They're twelve and one straight up, twelve and one against
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: the spread. Now, the one thing that has been talked
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: about is they haven't played the most difficult strength of schedule,
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: but they they've won every game they've played by twenty
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: two points.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: I mean, they've had to play BYU I think twice now,
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: and BYU was maybe the second best team in that league.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: They plasted in both times. You know, you can only
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: beat who it is that you play, and I think
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: you're right about that. I just I think what happens
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: with these rankings and polls is a team that ends
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: up better than they were supposed to be, just never
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: gets to the top of the polls, and Texas Tech
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: is regarded is not as strong as Ohio State in
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: Indiana because at the beginning of the year they weren't
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: regarded as the strongest team in the Big Twelve. And
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: maybe they're simply better than people think. I think you
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: mentioned that they're nearly ten to one. They're not even
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: the third choice in the bed. I think Georgia is
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: the third choice in the betting, and Texas Tech's going
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: to get a buy. That's a key. They have one
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: fewer game that they would need to win, and it's
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: kind of unclear as to how good they are, and
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: maybe they are the equal of those other teams.
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: Yeah, and a couple of things I like about their situation.
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: They're on the opposite side of the bracket from Ohio
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: State and Georgia, so if they play one of those
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: two teams, it's going to be in the National Championship game.
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: I like that situation. They have a bye, so they're
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: probably gonna play Oregon. Oregon's beatable. I think that game
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: is going to be about a pick them type game.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: If they win that, they're playing either Indiana, Oklahoma or
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: Alabama get to the National Championship game and you've got
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: ten to one sit in your pocket. So I like
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: Texas Tech in their situation. I really do.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: Let's turn our attention to the NFL two games to
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: talk about the Packers and the Broncos. Now, when people
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: sized up prior to the beer game last week, I
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: think a lot of Packer fans thought, we have a
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: chance to beat the Bears twice. But the game you're
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: going to lose is the one in between, the far
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: less important game, the non conference game with the Denver
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: But the Packers are two and a half point favorites
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: on the road in Denver, so the odds makers think
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: that they're going to win. I think sometimes we can
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: overreact to well, this isn't as big a game. They'll
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: be looking forward and so on. Maybe if a team
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: is playing really good, they can win. But also this
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: game is, as you know, much of a drop down
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: game for Denver as it is for Green Bay. I mean,
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: for neither team is this a circle game on the
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: schedule that that they have to win. What do you
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: think of the Packards and the Broncos too? You know,
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: the Packers are playing very very well right now. Denver
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: has won ten in a row. It's the same comment
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: though that I have about New England. They've won ten
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: in a row, and it's almost like both teams got
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: to go and pick the worst teams in the NFL
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: and get to play and get to play the both
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: of them. On the other hand, you know it, you
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: can only beat the team that you're playing that particular week.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: I just look at so many of Denver's results and
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: they're kind of like the Bears. Every game they win
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: is close. It's never all that impressive. Bo Nix is
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: doing nothing quarterback, but that's partly because he hasn't needed
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: to do so much at quarterback because their defense is
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: so good. I have no idea what's going to happen
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: in this game. I think the Packers could go out
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: there and win. I think they could lose by twenty points.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: I just so know, Mike, Why don't you tell us
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: what you think is going to happen.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple things in this game. First of all,
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: he talked about Denver playing close games. They have. They
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: played thirteen games overall, and eleven have been decided by
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: a one score, So they're nine to two in one
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: score games. So that's why they have the record that
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: they have. It's a unique situation in that they've won
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: ten straight games and they're a home underdog. So I
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: look back in our database since nineteen eighty three, there
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: have been thirty two teams that have won exactly ten
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: straight games, so going for their eleventh straight win, only
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: twice have those teams been an underdog out of thirty
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: two times. Only once a home underdog out of thirty
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: two times, and that was a few weeks ago. A
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: few years ago, when Kansas City played the Chargers late
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: in the year at the last last game of the season,
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: they sat everyone because they already had clenched whatever spot.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: So that was a situation in which the team that
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: had the long winning streak had no reason to play anybody,
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: as opposed to this game where we're still right in
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: the guts of the season.
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: Yeah, so really, you can say this is the first
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: time out of thirty two times that in this situation
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: the team's been a home underdog. Just never happens. Denver's
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: undefeated at home six and all. They won eleven straight
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: games at home at home as an underdog, They've been
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: an underdog once this season. They beat Kansas City outright,
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: and historically back to nineteen eighty, they've potentially been the
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: best home dog in the NFL. They're forty four and
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: twenty five against the spread of the home dog, almost
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: sixty five percent. It's nineteen eighty. It's a fishy, fishy line.
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, I'm surprised Denver didn't just
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: come out as a one point pick in this game.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: In this situation. It seems like they're begging you to
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: take Denver in this situation, just based on everything I just.
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: Talked at, And usually when they do that, that means
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: you shouldn't be taking you shouldn't be taking Denver.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: Ya.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: I know they work off of power ratings and everything,
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: and you're right. The fact that Denver never is dominant,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: they just win means that the algorithms they use for
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: those power rhythms power rating rankings aren't as strong. There's
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: a similar situation with the other game that I want
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: to talk about here. Buffalo is at New England. What's
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: New England's winning streak, Mike.
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: They're eleven and two as well. I'm not sure how
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: many in a row they've won, but they're yeah, they're
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: they have a good record, they're in a home dog,
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: very similar.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: Situation, similar situation. They're a one point underdog to Buffalo,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: even though New England is playing at home, has a
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: better record and they've been doing nothing but win, win, win,
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: win win. It was ten in row. That's what I thought,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: that both Patriots and Denver are both ten in rows.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: Everything that Mike cited in the Denver thing kind of
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: applied to the New England game. The qualifier on that
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: is the Packer Denver game isn't crucial for either team.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: The New England Buffalo game, obviously is. It's a game
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: New England is playing for the best record in the NFL.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: Buffalo is just trying it, still, trying to make sure
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: that they make the playoffs. Altogether, it's another game in
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: which if you just looked at the teams, generically you'd
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: say that the home team would be favored, but in
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: this case they're not, with New England being a one
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: point underdog at home to Buffalo. Your thoughts on that.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: Game, same thing, Fishy Line. You think New England would
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: be a slight favorite, as you just mentioned AFC East
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: and implications. If New England wins, they clinched the AFCs over.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: If they lose, that pulls the Bills to within one
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: game of the lead, and they split their season series.
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: So it's wide open down the stretch if the Bills win,
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: so it's a huge game for both. New England won
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: in Buffalo earlier this year. Buffalo is favored by eight.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: New England won twenty three to twenty. Yardage was dead
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: even it came down to turnovers. Buffalo had two more
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: turnovers then New England did New England. As you mentioned
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: to about Denver, Newingo's played by far the easiest schedule.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: I've got their list and we're going to go backwards,
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: in other words, starting with two weeks ago before the bye.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: This is New England's schedule. The Giants, Cincinnati, the Jets, Tampa, Atlanta, Cleveland, Tennessee,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: New Orleans. I just listed the worst teams in the league.
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: Then you had the game, the divisional game, the rematch
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: they played Buffalo before that, Carolina, Pittsburgh, Miami, and Las Vegas.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: There's hardly a winning record in the bunch of them.
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: You know, they've had an incredibly soft schedule, so it
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: makes it really hard to judge them. Are they really
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: an eleven and two team, or if they had, you know,
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: a Detroit game in there, or a Rams game in there,
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: a Packers game in there, a few of those other
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: games where they have a more realistic record. On the
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: other hand, it seems as the Buffalo plays a good
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: team every single week, and I think that's why they're favored.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: Buffalo's schedule has been very tough. New England's is soft.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: Then you got the great quarterback matchup. I mean, some
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: people think Drake May is going to be the MVP.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: Others think that Josh Allen's playing at an MVP level
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: and carrying a team with a bad defense. It's just,
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: I think a curious game. But I think right now
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: Buffalo is still the better team than that's notwithstanding, I
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: wouldn't disagree.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: I mean, you mentioned those teams.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: Mark.
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: The combined record of the teams New England has played
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: this year is sixty nine and one o three. They've
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: played three team besides Buffalo. They played three teams that
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: are currently five hundred or better, Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: They're all seven and six and neither of them are now.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: And those are just those are barely about five hundred teams.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: But that's it.
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so very interesting game. I guess there's a
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: reason Buffalo's favored in this game. Huge game for both. Yeah,
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: it'll be it'll be fun to watch that game for sure.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Okay, that's our preview of the football this weekend. Time
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: for some point spread picks. And before we do that,
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: we'll recap went on last week. And I'm happy to
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: do that because I finally won a game. I took
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: the Jaguars there one and a half point underdogs against
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: the Colts. They won easily. No way of knowing if
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: they would have won easily. Hit Daniel Jones not been
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: hurt for Indianapolis, but they did smoke them. Mike took
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: the over in the Seahawks Falcons game. That game went
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: over the total and Paul lost by half a point.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: I'm glad he was by half a point because I
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: think every Bear fan in America bet on the Bears
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: and they all lost. The Packers were favored by six
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: and a half over Chicago and Green Bay one by seven,
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: and I'm sure as Mike and bouch the whole thing
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: with point spreads under the total of seven. You can
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: have an extremely close game, and if a team wins
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: by the one score and that score is a touchdown,
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: they can cover what seems to be a pretty fat spread.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: And Paul ended up losing that way. So those are
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: the picks that we had last week. Nobody has a
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: particularly good record here. I'm still okay. I'm at seven
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: seven and one, which is good for place. We're all
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: going to finish strongly here in time to get some
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: picks for this weekend. Paul, you get to go first.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: By the way, I should mention to the audience that
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: the college bowl games start, and there are college games
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: early next week, so for the purposes of this contest,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: any of the games through Tuesday night in college football,
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: or of course the regular NFL slate would be available
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: to be picked. Paul said he was going to take
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: the Patriots or the Bengals. Both are intriguing. I would
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: have agreed with both of those picks. That's one of
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: the games I thought about bringing up to Mike. I
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: think I do not understand why, but I know that
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: Baltimore has a much better record than Cincinnati, but I
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: think Cincinnati is better. That they both have terrible defenses,
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Cincinnati has a better offense. By the way, everybody in
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: the world is saying take the over in that game,
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: and maybe that'll be Mike's pick. But I get just
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: a little bit of concern at this time of the
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: year about whole cold it's going to be. And I
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: didn't even check in that, but that just seemed too
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: obvious anyway, you were going to do that, you were
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: going to do that, But apparently you're not going to
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: do either of those things. So what are you going
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: to do? He wants to line of the Dolphins Steeler game. Yeah,
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: that game is in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are favored by three.
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: Miami is one of the hottest teams in the I
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: thought Miami's coach was going to be fired, and right
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: as the axe is gonna come down, they've done nothing
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: but win Pittsburgh. In the meantime, they're winning ugly. I
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: mean toy win an ugly. Has Aaron Rodgers ever been
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: uglier at any stage of his life than he is
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: right now? He's the ugliest man in football. He's beard
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: is like he looks like one of those pirates on
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: a ship in the Caribbean that's been you know, stealing
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: gold for sixty years. Yeah, that's right. Philip Prevers came
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: out of every time he retired before COVID was around.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: And I mean, and then he's got to play Indianapolis
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: is like they're an underdog by like eighteen thousand points
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: this weekend. Anyway, the Steelers and the Dolphins, that's a
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: tough game for me. I have no every now and
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: then when Miami has to play in cold weather, they quit,
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: but not always. There have been times in which the
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: Dolphins came into cold weather and played a really good game.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: I think you know, over the course of the year,
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has been better. Right now, I think Miami's better.
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: It sounds like you're leading to Pittsburgh. Yeah, Paul says
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: they need that division that they're in. It's one of
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: those divisions where some rotten team is going to win.
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: When you have four teams and they all stink, one
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: of them is going to have the better record. And
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: there's two divisions like that in the NFL, and one
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: of them is the AFC North, where the Bengals have
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: started to play better, but the record is just terrible.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: Eveland can't win at all. The Ravens are all messed up,
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: and then there's Pittsburgh. Somebody's gonna win. You're right, they
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: need to win. The Dolphins still have some slim, minuscule
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: wild card hope, but they're stuck in the AFC East,
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: which has bought New England with such the strong record
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: and Buffalo both in there, so they their playoff chances
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: would be less. But they're playing pretty well, and I'll admit,
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: I mean follow them a little closely, and I just
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: did not see this turnaround coming. Paul takes the Steelers. Mike,
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: what do you think about that game? It's an interesting
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: game and it is, as Paul said the Monday night game.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: Yeah, and he talked about the AFC North. The other
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: bad division is the NFC South with Tampa Bay and Carolina, Atlanta,
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: New Orleans.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, somebody's gonna win that division.
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: Those two divisions.
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: I mean, how about the NFC East, I mean Philadelphia seen,
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time Philadelphia won a game.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: You got the Cowboys that are still completely in it.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: I mean, I love the game. This weekend, the Giants
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: are playing the Commanders. Combined, they have five wins. I
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: think the Commanders might have one of the biggest one
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: season collapses of all time. People forget the Commanders were
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game last year, in the NFC
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: Championship game, and they're going to compete for the first
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: pick in the draft this year. Anyway, that's that's the East.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: I mean, you've got you know, three or four strong divisions,
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: three that are stink bumps. Anyway, going back to what
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: Mike was saying.
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: Yeah, the AFC North, the and the NFC South. Every
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: team has a negative point differential in all those divisions,
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: so they've all been outscored on the season. The one
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: thing that can two things concerned me about the Dolphins
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: in this game. You talked about cold weather. I don't
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: have it in front of me, but they're bad in
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: cold weather. A lot of times. It's supposed to be
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: ten degrees on Monday night in Pittsburgh, so going to
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: be cold. The other thing, just quickly, Miami's on a
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: nice streak. But the teams they've beaten, Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans,
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: the Jets bad teams. The one good team they beat
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: with Buffalo, and Buffalo is coming off Kansas City wins,
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: so that was a bad spot for them. Tough game,
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's all over the board. I don't trust him as
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: a big favorite. That's a that's a really tough game,
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: I think.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, the more I think about it, the
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: more I agree with Paul's pick. It's just it's three
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: is on.
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: The service that we use, and three is better than
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: three and a half.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: It is. It's way better than three and a half.
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: End. We'll see a lot of spots.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Time do Yeah. In fact, the line that we have
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: from scores and Odds says you have to lay one
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: twenty to get three, but they use the number three
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: anyway time to get a pick from Mike, college or pro.
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to college act. So let's go the
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: next Tuesday night bowl game Jacksonville State and Troy. It's
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: next Tuesday night. It's the only bowl game I think
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: that day.
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: Jacksonville State and Troy play the salute to Veterans ball.
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: Maybe Mike knows where that is, but I don't know.
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: Do you do you know where that game is played.
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: It's in Montgomery, Alabama. And those two teams are both Alabama.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Yeah, they are Troy crom Alabama. And people think Jacksonville
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: is from Jacksonville Florida. That's actually in Alabama, so it's
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: two Alabama teams playing in Alabama. Troy is favored by
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: three points Jacksonville State. Why I mix up those leagues.
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: Troy comes out of I believe the Sun Belt, and
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: I think Jacksonville State's in Conference USA. But I might
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: be wrong. Michael, correct me.
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: Yep, that's correct. Okay, I'm gonna use Jacksonville State in
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: that game.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: Yeah, they've turned out to be you know, their coach,
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: Rich Rodriguez, who turned them around, went back to West
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: Virginia where he started, and I really thought there'd be
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: a drop off, a lot of players transferred and so on.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: They've been very good this year. And I think you
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: might be right about this. I want to hear your
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: reasons because I'm agreeing with you.
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a better team. First of all,
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: they're getting points. One thing that we like looking for
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: in an underdog, especially if we think the underdog can
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: dominate the trenches and win the ground game. We really
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: like looking at that situation. In fact, if an underdog,
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: and this is after the fact, I mean you're guessing
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: in advance, but if an underdog can rush double the
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: favorite more than double. Their yardage on the ground is
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: like eighty percent against the spread. This has a very
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: good chance to do that. You've got the fifth best
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: rushing team in the entire country. Jacksonville State averages two
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: hundred and fifty eight yards per game rushing. They have
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: two one thousand yard rushers at running back. You've got
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: a Troy defense that ranks outside the top one hundred
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: at stopping the run. And Troy can't run the ball.
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: They run for less than one hundred yards per game.
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: They rank one hundred and thirtieth rushing the ball. So
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: we're gonna have a big advantage in the trenches in
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: this game. And I think Troy is a little bit
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: of a far for lack of a better term. They
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: were in the Sun Belt Championship last weekend. They were
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: eight and five. This year, they got out gained by
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: seventy yards per game in the Sun Belt alone, and
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: in seven or last eight games they've been out gained.
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: Yet they're eight and five. I think Jacksonville is the
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: better team. I think they control the ground game. I
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: think they win the game, and I'm get three points.
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: I'll take them.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: One of the teams with things that happens with some
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: of these lower schools in the lower conferences is the
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: players who played really good are looking to transfer. Have
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: you heard that any of the guys for either team
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: have hit the transfer portal? That will not play in
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: the game. It's such an early game in the ball
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: season that even a player who may want a trancer
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: might not announce it until after the game is played.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: But I'm sure you're on top of that because there's
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: just so much stuff that's going on that's screwing up
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: everything at the end of the season in college football.
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: But yeah, no big transfers in this game. Troy has
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: a couple of players they're starting. Running back, who's the
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: only guy that's had more than like three hundred and
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: twenty yards this year is out. He's transferring for sure.
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: He's not playing for a team that already can't run
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: the ball and their quarterback got hurt in the last
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: game Troy against James Madison. He's questionable. But as far
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: as transfers other than the running back for Troy, really
- 1:24:14Speaker 3: nothing major there in that one.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Okay, my pick's going to be in the NFL. And
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: like I said, it just seems to me that the
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: only thing that bothered me about Cincinnati upsetting the Ravens,
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: and I think they will. Joe Burrow gave a weird
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: press conference this week. I mean it's all over social media.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: I mean, the guy sounded like he's in depression and
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: he wants to retire from football, which is just bizarre
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: because he ever since he came back from this injury,
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: he has been spectaca that Cincinnati offense could not move
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: the ball at all before he came back, and now
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: they're putting up thirty and forty points. I didn't like
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: the vibe from that is too. You know, they had
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: come from behind loss from last week and all of that.
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: There's a game that I'm going to go to that
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: just jumping out of me. I think Dallas might have
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: the best offense in the NFL, and they're playing at
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: a rapid pace. They have great receivers. Dak Prescott's playing
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: good at quarterback. Of course, the problem is their defense.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: They're playing the Vikings. Dallas is favored by five and
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: a half. Now, Minnesota is coming off of a thirty
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: one to nothing shutout win. I don't trust that win.
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy threw for three touchdown passes, but he only
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: threw twenty three times. He was sixteen to twenty three.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: They didn't have a lot of yardage pass Their defense
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: just played very very well. I think that confronted with
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: the high what's the term, they won a lot of plays,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: and they won a lot of no huddle, and they
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: play at high pace, the high pace of Dallas just relentless.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: If the Cowboys get on the board a few times,
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: I just don't think, even with Dallas's poor defense, that
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: Minnesota can keep up. I think the Cowboys are a
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: better team. I don't rule out them catching Philadelphia because
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: Philadelphia just looks kind of ugly and weird to me
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: at the moment. So I'm going to take the Cowboys
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: to cover the five and a half. If you throw
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: out this thirty one to nothing win that Minnesota had
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: last week against a terrible opponent. They've been playing just awful.
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: So I'm going to take the Cowboys to win by
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: six or more. Any thoughts on that game.
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: Mike, Yeah, I'd say anything under seven. I agree with you.
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: You get the Cowboys coming off a loss, plus it
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: was on Thursday.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: They Oh I should mention they played Detroit dead even
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: they lost by fourteen points, but they were minus three
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: in turnovers, and I usually think a turnover counts for
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: one score. The Cowboys lost by two scores, but they
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: were minus three on turnovers. The yardage and everything else
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: was equal. And you know they're playing Detroit, two high
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: powered offenses. I thought they played them other than the
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: turnovers of that game dead even that was an impressive game,
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: whereas I'm kind of discounting the Vikings thirty one and
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: nothing win as being mostly playing a bad team and
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: a little bit flukish otherwise. Anyway, go ahead, mind.
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: Yeah, in the same situation that you just said for
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: the Vikings, I mean, they only had barely three hundred yards,
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: but Washington had three turnovers to the Vikings ed zero,
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: So that kind of equates the same way on that end.
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: Before that, Minnesota wasn't scoring anything. Lee and I talked
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: before I came on about this game, and I'm like,
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: Minnesota is going to have to score to keep up,
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: and I don't know if they can score.
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: Even against Dallas, even against Dallas's defense. I agree with
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: you on that end. Yeah, the Cowboys are weird. They're
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: not as good at home as you would think that
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: they would be. Historically, but I think in this case
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: the home field is going to be something of an
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: advantage for them, and they're in a situation in which
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: Minnesota had nothing to play for, they can't get themselves
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: at anything, and Dallas is still and so I like
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: the Cowboys in that game. Okay, Quickly recapping the picks.
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: Paul takes the Steelers on Monday Night to beat the
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: Dolphins by more than three. Mike takes Jacksonville State to
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: either beat Troy or lose by less than three, and
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: I'm taking Dallas to beat the Vikings by six or more.
