- 0:21Speaker 2: We have a quote of the day today and I'm
- 0:24Speaker 2: going to open with it. Sometimes I share the quote
- 0:27Speaker 2: of the day and then I tell you who it
- 0:29Speaker 2: is that said it. I'm going to tell you here
- 0:33Speaker 2: who it is. It's Joe Biden, and it's from nineteen
- 0:37Speaker 2: eighty nine. You know it's a long time ago. And
- 0:43Speaker 2: you really know how long ago it is. When you
- 0:45Speaker 2: take a look at what's happened to the Democrats in
- 0:49Speaker 2: this country. There are so many issues in which the
- 0:54Speaker 2: things that they once stood for are the things that
- 0:57Speaker 2: they are now adamantly opposed to. I'm going to read
- 1:03Speaker 2: this quote. This is Biden nineteen eighty nine. He was
- 1:06Speaker 2: a senator. Let's go back at Let's go after the
- 1:10Speaker 2: drug lords where they live with an international strikeforce. There
- 1:17Speaker 2: must be no safe haven for narco terrorists. Obviously, that
- 1:24Speaker 2: was a rather non controversial statement at the time. If anything,
- 1:29Speaker 2: it might be considered extreme from the right. Biden was
- 1:33Speaker 2: suggesting that we go out and kill the major drug
- 1:37Speaker 2: lords wherever they are. Wasn't any objection that I'm aware of.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I don't recall them saying it wasn't any objection I'm
- 1:45Speaker 2: aware of from Democratic leaders or the left. No. Admittedly,
- 1:52Speaker 2: that's a long time ago, and that party has changed
- 1:55Speaker 2: radically where we are now. The current President Trump is
- 2:01Speaker 2: going after narco terrorists and the term is now being used,
- 2:05Speaker 2: but only on the right. International drug dealers are being
- 2:09Speaker 2: considered terrorists, and the left is objecting to that. This
- 2:15Speaker 2: whole drama over the second strike on the drug boat
- 2:20Speaker 2: and whether or not Defense Secretary Pete Hesitt should have
- 2:23Speaker 2: authorized it or not. First of all, the video seems
- 2:28Speaker 2: to indicate that the drug boat was going to go
- 2:30Speaker 2: back and reload. But whether it was or it wasn't,
- 2:34Speaker 2: it's undeniable that this was drugs that were being smuggled
- 2:37Speaker 2: into the United States. And the reason that they're using
- 2:40Speaker 2: boats now is that Trump is sealed off the border. Now,
- 2:44Speaker 2: there's a reason I'm bringing this story up to begin
- 2:46Speaker 2: the program. This is just a bad weekend all over,
- 2:54Speaker 2: and there isn't any single component in it, but it
- 2:59Speaker 2: sure seems to me that a portion of it is
- 3:01Speaker 2: tied to drugs. We have a very different drug problem
- 3:09Speaker 2: than what I've seen at any other point in my life.
- 3:12Speaker 2: It's just different. You see so many acts of violence
- 3:18Speaker 2: that seem to have a drug component to them. There
- 3:25Speaker 2: was a comment that was made a few days ago
- 3:29Speaker 2: interesting They was at a symposium put on by The
- 3:31Speaker 2: New York Times. The CEO of Pallanteer, the big AI
- 3:35Speaker 2: company that focuses on the defense industry. He made the
- 3:41Speaker 2: comment that if the people that were oding on fetanyl
- 3:46Speaker 2: were primarily the people in that room, in other words,
- 3:49Speaker 2: the big shots, the titans of Wall Street, the elite,
- 3:53Speaker 2: if they were the ones who were dying over feentanyl,
- 3:55Speaker 2: there would be no controversy over going out and killed them.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But the reality is that the fedanol in particular is targeting
- 4:01Speaker 2: the middle class. Seriously, who doesn't know a family of
- 4:10Speaker 2: somebody whose kids odeed on fetanyl? Everybody does. As I said,
- 4:18Speaker 2: it's the drug of the middle class, not even so
- 4:20Speaker 2: much poor people. It's the lower middle class, middle class
- 4:22Speaker 2: and upper middle class. It isn't so much the drug
- 4:26Speaker 2: of the uber wealthy. They're under their own stuff. The
- 4:32Speaker 2: fediol problem though, and to some extent, myth and the
- 4:35Speaker 2: other stuff that's out there is linked. I think you
- 4:39Speaker 2: can throw in pot. I think it's the ultimate gateway drug.
- 4:41Speaker 2: But whether you agree with that or not is really
- 4:44Speaker 2: neither here nor there for this point. Obviously, feed at
- 4:48Speaker 2: all is an enormous problem. It's addictive the first time
- 4:55Speaker 2: you take it, it's unbelievably powerful, it's almost impossible to
- 4:59Speaker 2: get off of, and the users of it often end
- 5:04Speaker 2: up dead. But as I say, it is not an
- 5:13Speaker 2: equal opportunity abused drug. There are parts of the country
- 5:20Speaker 2: on which the feninol problem resonates more than others. Back
- 5:27Speaker 2: when Biden made that comment thirty six years ago, the
- 5:31Speaker 2: Democrats as much as many much as the Republicans, were
- 5:34Speaker 2: in favor of going after the international drug cartels, terrorists,
- 5:41Speaker 2: the people that were shipping all of this in. This
- 5:45Speaker 2: is the situation we have with fenanol right now. Fenanyl
- 5:48Speaker 2: is so dirt cheap that they use it to lace
- 5:54Speaker 2: other drugs. Throughout my entire history of following drugs, one
- 5:59Speaker 2: of the things that would go on as drug dealers
- 6:01Speaker 2: would water down they're drug You know, the talcum powder
- 6:05Speaker 2: that would be thrown into stuff and mascarade as coke.
- 6:08Speaker 2: You would water down the drugs, so there wouldn't be
- 6:10Speaker 2: as strong, so you can get more bang for your butt.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Now the Federal is cheaper than all the other drugs,
- 6:16Speaker 2: so they put the federyl and the other drugs. It's
- 6:18Speaker 2: so bizarre. Why is it so cheap because so much
- 6:20Speaker 2: comes in. Fortunately, Trump is sealed off the border that
- 6:23Speaker 2: has cut off that supply, so now it's going out.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I see. We live in a world in which leftists
- 6:35Speaker 2: overlook so much of the crime that goes on in
- 6:40Speaker 2: our country, but they are outraged that the president of
- 6:44Speaker 2: the United States is trying to stop people from bringing
- 6:48Speaker 2: highly addictive narcotics into the United States. It's an extraordinary
- 6:55Speaker 2: situation and kind of the launching point for today's program.

- 7:27Speaker 2: dot com all right, I want to turn my attention
- 7:30Speaker 2: to another story for the past and we're doing this
- 7:38Speaker 2: podcast on Monday afternoon. For the past twenty four to
- 7:42Speaker 2: thirty six hours, the media nationally and especially locally, had
- 7:53Speaker 2: been focusing on the soul called person of interest in
- 7:59Speaker 2: the Own University killings. He was named twenty four year
- 8:09Speaker 2: old man. He's from Cedarberg. There was law enforcement out
- 8:15Speaker 2: of his house, and I don't know all of the
- 8:18Speaker 2: news organizations that named him. He was not only not charged,
- 8:22Speaker 2: he wasn't arrested. JS online is one of them they
- 8:27Speaker 2: named him. It appears as though he didn't do it.
- 8:32Speaker 2: He's been released, not being held for further question. It
- 8:39Speaker 2: were just released and the authority said, we have no
- 8:42Speaker 2: reason to further hold him. Yet he was out there named.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I understand when there's a police investigation, they look into
- 8:53Speaker 2: any number of things. There may be any number of suspects.
- 8:56Speaker 2: If you have a possible suspect, you're going to look
- 8:58Speaker 2: in at eggs. So the cops are out at his
- 8:59Speaker 2: house and Cederberg, Wisconsin police are crawling around all over
- 9:02Speaker 2: the piece and people have you know, and there's a
- 9:04Speaker 2: level of interest to it. The curious thing about This
- 9:10Speaker 2: is prior to me coming to Milwaukee and the World
- 9:15Speaker 2: War One era got here in nineteen eighty nine. Milwaukee
- 9:19Speaker 2: was the first market that I had ever worked in
- 9:21Speaker 2: in which there was just a general understanding in the
- 9:23Speaker 2: media that you did not name a suspect until they
- 9:25Speaker 2: were charged. Everywhere else where I work, the standard operating
- 9:29Speaker 2: procedure from all media was if someone was arrested, you
- 9:34Speaker 2: would report it. You didn't have to wait until they
- 9:37Speaker 2: were charged. But in Milwaukee, the standard it was I
- 9:39Speaker 2: think the newspaper set it, and all the TV stations
- 9:41Speaker 2: they all followed it. You don't report someone's name until
- 9:45Speaker 2: they're charged. And that's still pretty much the standard until
- 9:48Speaker 2: you get to a story in which they just decide
- 9:50Speaker 2: that's not a rule. And in this case, he wasn't
- 9:53Speaker 2: even arrested. I know his name was everywhere, and I
- 9:59Speaker 2: get that in any things are gonna be all over
- 10:01Speaker 2: social media, but the so called responsible media in the
- 10:05Speaker 2: past had not done this. When you got any type
- 10:11Speaker 2: just take a murder case, just a local murder in
- 10:13Speaker 2: your community, unless it's an obvious case where you know,
- 10:18Speaker 2: a husband shoots a wife or something, any number of
- 10:22Speaker 2: people are questioned. They'll go into people's backwards and there
- 10:24Speaker 2: may be somebody who appears to be shady or suspicious
- 10:27Speaker 2: for any number of reasons. And it isn't that I
- 10:32Speaker 2: don't want you to direct your life to how they'd
- 10:34Speaker 2: play things out on TV. But you know the show
- 10:36Speaker 2: Law and Order, they did interview five or six or
- 10:37Speaker 2: seven people. They found out that the case is over here.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That's kind of what reality is. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes
- 10:43Speaker 2: they're going on on the right suspect in the beginning,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and in many cases you have to talk to a
- 10:46Speaker 2: lot of people. During other cases you talk to someone
- 10:49Speaker 2: because maybe they knew something else or maybe I mean
- 10:53Speaker 2: number of possible reasons, and I suspect in this case
- 11:00Speaker 2: Rhode Island. The authorities had some sense that the individual
- 11:03Speaker 2: might have been involved because they said person of interest.
- 11:05Speaker 2: But person of interest is just that there are levels
- 11:09Speaker 2: of this. Somebody's arrested, then there's a suspect. A suspect
- 11:13Speaker 2: is somebody suspected but not yet arrested, and then there's
- 11:15Speaker 2: a person of interest, somebody who may or may not
- 11:18Speaker 2: be of interest. Five six, Still, and again I'm doing
- 11:24Speaker 2: this podcast rheight around noon on Monday. They still have
- 11:27Speaker 2: a story up about the police crawling all over the
- 11:29Speaker 2: person's home in Cedarberg. Well, that story was relevant a
- 11:34Speaker 2: day and a half ago. But put yourself in the
- 11:39Speaker 2: other guy's shoes, or put yourself in this family shoes.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Let's imagine, and again maybe it will turn out there
- 11:44Speaker 2: is some connection involving this guy. But normally speaking, if
- 11:47Speaker 2: you have a killing and they let the person and
- 11:51Speaker 2: we've seen this in any number of other cases, you've
- 11:53Speaker 2: got a murder case or some sort of sexual assault
- 11:56Speaker 2: or something, somebody will be taken into custody and question
- 11:59Speaker 2: about something going to turn They had an alibi, they
- 12:00Speaker 2: didn't do it. That happens all the time in this
- 12:10Speaker 2: day and age of hyper focused on certain news stories.
- 12:16Speaker 2: All the rules that they put in place for anything else.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I mean, just follow a local story in which some
- 12:24Speaker 2: drunk driver causes a fatal accident. They'll arrest them on
- 12:27Speaker 2: the scene. It usually takes like thirty six to forty
- 12:29Speaker 2: eight hours before they're arrested. They're never named for that
- 12:31Speaker 2: when it's obvious they're the ones. This is the drunk
- 12:33Speaker 2: theory is driving the car. There's the fatal life. They
- 12:35Speaker 2: don't name the person. Now I'll be one hundred percent
- 12:45Speaker 2: honest with you about this. My last podcast was on Thursday.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Today is Monday. This Brown University thing happened in between.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Let's imagine it happened the day before. Say it was
- 12:55Speaker 2: Wednesday of last week, and I came on Thursday and
- 12:57Speaker 2: everybody was calling, and the person was named what I
- 12:59Speaker 2: have named. I I would like to think I wouldn't.
- 13:03Speaker 2: And again, I've always argued that you have to deal
- 13:05Speaker 2: with these things on a case by case basis. If
- 13:10Speaker 2: you arrest someone on the scene with a gun or,
- 13:14Speaker 2: as I said, a drunk driving case. So let's imagine
- 13:16Speaker 2: you have a public figure, a politician whose hands are
- 13:21Speaker 2: in the cookie jar. Do you have to wait until
- 13:24Speaker 2: the person is arrested in charge in order to name them?
- 13:27Speaker 2: Probably not, But in a certain situation like this, in
- 13:30Speaker 2: which there was no video identification, that suspect was dressed
- 13:36Speaker 2: in all black and so on, obviously there's reason for caution.
- 13:43Speaker 2: In the meantime, the way meeting, you know, the online
- 13:47Speaker 2: world works. They'll never expunge all the references to this
- 13:52Speaker 2: person and his family. I mean the local news. I
- 14:05Speaker 2: want to jass Online they're quoting classmates of the guy
- 14:08Speaker 2: describe well he's this, he's that. The other thing, the
- 14:10Speaker 2: kind of thing that you do when somebody has been
- 14:13Speaker 2: charged with like a mass murder or something. He wasn't
- 14:16Speaker 2: even arrested. Now I know a fair amount about the
- 14:22Speaker 2: way things like this go. When the police have somebody Okay,
- 14:25Speaker 2: this person did it, and they find them, they will
- 14:27Speaker 2: then arrest them. Being brought in for questioning is a
- 14:32Speaker 2: lower level. It's just they have questions. And again it
- 14:36Speaker 2: can be because while there's strong evidence, or it can
- 14:38Speaker 2: be because somebody gave us an anonymous tip anything the
- 14:48Speaker 2: other thing. Of course, in stories like this, when you
- 14:51Speaker 2: have the global media all over it, people will leak
- 14:53Speaker 2: within the you know you've got you had a university,
- 14:56Speaker 2: they're law enforced with the local law. Any number of
- 14:58Speaker 2: people could have been the ones who would have really
- 15:00Speaker 2: the name, or somebody saw the person be taking in
- 15:02Speaker 2: the custody. They talked about he was at a motel
- 15:04Speaker 2: or something or another. Well, yeah he's he's but that's right,
- 15:12Speaker 2: that's where he is. He went to school out there,
- 15:15Speaker 2: and again, as far as I know, he has not
- 15:19Speaker 2: done anything here. Normally, as I say, if I release somebody,
- 15:23Speaker 2: that means there's no connection at all, and again in
- 15:28Speaker 2: all the kinds of cases that are much lower profile,
- 15:31Speaker 2: that happens all the time. You have a murder, say
- 15:34Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, you're just the regular one of the murders
- 15:36Speaker 2: that a cursee in the inner city of Milwaukee. They'll
- 15:38Speaker 2: bring any number of people in, and in some cases
- 15:42Speaker 2: they may think that, okay, it fits the pattern of
- 15:44Speaker 2: this guy over here. They'll detain them and then they
- 15:49Speaker 2: check it out. Maybe they'll is there an alibi or
- 15:51Speaker 2: is something else? So they then arrest the other persons.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Let go now to a case in which there has
- 16:04Speaker 2: been an actual arrest, the Rob Reiner case. There have
- 16:11Speaker 2: been so many stories the last few years like this.
- 16:17Speaker 2: This is merely the rare one in which the person
- 16:20Speaker 2: the victim is extremely famous. I just think about it
- 16:23Speaker 2: in the local media, the number of cases of somebody
- 16:28Speaker 2: killing their parents or killing their grandparents. I'm sure this
- 16:32Speaker 2: has always happened, but boyle Boyle boy does it seem
- 16:35Speaker 2: to be extremely common. Rob Reiner, the famous director, actor
- 16:40Speaker 2: and so on, and his wife stabbed to death. His son,
- 16:44Speaker 2: who's not young, he's thirty four, has been arrested. His
- 16:49Speaker 2: name is Nick Reiner. Given the fact that this is
- 16:55Speaker 2: a public family. We know quite a bit about the background,
- 16:57Speaker 2: and in fact, ten years ago he had an interview.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Nick Reiner did and I think wrote a book or
- 17:03Speaker 2: a screenplay about his life, and he talked about how
- 17:06Speaker 2: he got all screwed up on drugs when he was
- 17:08Speaker 2: young and ended up living on the street and was
- 17:11Speaker 2: a miss. He's thirty two is his current age. But
- 17:14Speaker 2: eight or nine years ago he did the thing about
- 17:15Speaker 2: he's all messed up on drugs, he was out on
- 17:17Speaker 2: the street and so forth and so on. We don't
- 17:21Speaker 2: have a full accounting of what happened since. Did he
- 17:28Speaker 2: get wigged out on drugs as a lot of these
- 17:30Speaker 2: people do and get irrational, or was he having an
- 17:35Speaker 2: argument because they wouldn't give up. Who knows. But again,
- 17:39Speaker 2: this seems to happen all the time now, and again
- 17:41Speaker 2: I'm not when I say all the time. This type
- 17:44Speaker 2: of story is common. What is uncommon is that it's
- 17:46Speaker 2: someone of Rob Reiner and his wife, famous people who
- 17:49Speaker 2: are the victims. Here's another thing that seems to be
- 17:56Speaker 2: more common than ever the number of people who are schizophrenic,
- 18:05Speaker 2: seriously manic depressive, manic depressive, or have other serious mental problems.
- 18:15Speaker 2: In which they need to be on medication, but the
- 18:17Speaker 2: medication makes them really tired, so they are off their
- 18:20Speaker 2: meds and they live totally dysfunctional lives. And again, I
- 18:25Speaker 2: don't know if that's the case with regard to Nick Briner,
- 18:33Speaker 2: but boy, I go go back thirty or forty years ago,
- 18:36Speaker 2: there were a few people that you thought of like that,
- 18:38Speaker 2: and I'm sure a lot of people were not diagnosed
- 18:40Speaker 2: properly who we just thought were crazy or odd. What's
- 18:46Speaker 2: causing all of this? I think the big change that's
- 18:54Speaker 2: a curt Well, there's two things that have changed in
- 18:56Speaker 2: our society. Are FK juniors on the die thing, and
- 19:02Speaker 2: I think that that's a component to all sorts of things.
- 19:04Speaker 2: But the level of drug abuse that's going on in
- 19:07Speaker 2: our society and how potent some of these drugs are,
- 19:10Speaker 2: I'm just stuff the opinion. And again I'm just a lamban.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I think that this stuff can do serious damage to
- 19:17Speaker 2: your brain and you just get completely unwired. And whether
- 19:21Speaker 2: you're on the drugs or off, how badly screwed up
- 19:24Speaker 2: are you? Now? In this case, it may be much
- 19:27Speaker 2: simpler than that. Maybe he was asking for money and
- 19:30Speaker 2: the parents got fed up and he decided to lash
- 19:32Speaker 2: out and kill I don't know what an interesting career
- 19:38Speaker 2: Rob Reiner head boy. If you ask people what do
- 19:42Speaker 2: you most remember him for, you get a lot of
- 19:44Speaker 2: different answers. If I, off the top of your head
- 19:46Speaker 2: would be the first thing you would answer, meat head
- 19:48Speaker 2: and mall of the family, And I would say for
- 19:52Speaker 2: people that may be a little bit younger than that,
- 19:54Speaker 2: it's probably one of the many famous movies he directed.
- 19:57Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would say when Harry
- 19:59Speaker 2: met Sally, which he didn't start him, but he was
- 20:01Speaker 2: the director. He did a few Theo Good Men, he
- 20:04Speaker 2: did Princess Bride. I mean, the list goes on and
- 20:06Speaker 2: on and on, but he started. He started. He started
- 20:09Speaker 2: out as an actor and son of an extremely fam
- 20:14Speaker 2: in fact, just literally a long life himself, Carl Reiner,
- 20:20Speaker 2: who created the Dick van Dyke showing a lot of
- 20:23Speaker 2: other stuff, and Rob Reiner's his son. The other thing,
- 20:25Speaker 2: Rob Brander is a big time Hollywood lefty, but he
- 20:28Speaker 2: was one of those lefties that wasn't like he was
- 20:33Speaker 2: not an unhinged lefty. In fact, Rob Branner famously said,
- 20:36Speaker 2: and got some blowback from the left, that he felt
- 20:39Speaker 2: terrible about the Charlie Kirk assassination and was so moved
- 20:42Speaker 2: by Erica Kirk's statement. Rob Brainer was also the guy who,
- 20:47Speaker 2: after the Biden Trump debate, was famously quoted in the
- 20:54Speaker 2: media as being apoplectic as to how terribly Joe Biden
- 20:57Speaker 2: did and we have to do something about this, and
- 20:59Speaker 2: how the world he can't run for president. He's going
- 21:01Speaker 2: to get killed. Look, the guy's off his rocker, Rob Rider.
- 21:05Speaker 2: That roaldo of And again Paul said right away the
- 21:09Speaker 2: first thing he thinks of, it's all in the family.
- 21:11Speaker 2: It's funny because Rob Rainer, you know, he acted in
- 21:14Speaker 2: a few things. He was in Spinal Tap and all that,
- 21:16Speaker 2: but by far his career was to go on and
- 21:18Speaker 2: be a major film director and and writer. The details
- 21:29Speaker 2: are pretty clear in this case, and apparently the authorities
- 21:33Speaker 2: in Los Angeles they knew immediately that it was his son,
- 21:36Speaker 2: Nick Reiner. He was arrested like right after the thing.
- 21:40Speaker 2: They say they're holding him on four million dollars bond.
- 21:42Speaker 2: They are found in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday,
- 21:45Speaker 2: and more information on that. It's trickling out. As I say,
- 21:51Speaker 2: it's just bad weekend on so many fronts. There was
- 21:56Speaker 2: the slaughter in Australia Jewish individuals. There was a shooting
- 22:02Speaker 2: in Los Angeles of a rabbi. Hanukah began last night.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Some of the violence can be tied to bigotry. We
- 22:18Speaker 2: don't know the motivation necessarily. In Brown University, it might
- 22:22Speaker 2: just be another screwed up person and it's a school shooting.
- 22:25Speaker 2: We don't know the answer to that. All these reporters
- 22:30Speaker 2: were scurrying around Seedarburgh interviewing friends and families. Are the
- 22:33Speaker 2: guy who didn't do it? Are they still asking the
- 22:35Speaker 2: questions or have they moved on now knowing that they're
- 22:38Speaker 2: asking questions of people about somebody who didn't have anything
- 22:40Speaker 2: to do with squat, Let me move to a different
- 22:48Speaker 2: level of crime. The Hannah Dugan trial began again. We're
- 22:51Speaker 2: doing the podcast on Monday this morning in Milwaukee County
- 22:53Speaker 2: Circuit Court. I think the whether or not she's going
- 23:01Speaker 2: to be convicted or not depends entirely. I wouldn't say entirely,
- 23:04Speaker 2: mostly on who's on the jury, right. I mean, it
- 23:08Speaker 2: seems to me she's caught dead to rights. She's the
- 23:12Speaker 2: Milwaukee County Circuit judge who helped a guy who was
- 23:18Speaker 2: the subject of an ice worn get away. She hit him,
- 23:23Speaker 2: Ice came in with a warrant. She sends the ice
- 23:29Speaker 2: guys to the chief Judge's office. In the meantime, she
- 23:31Speaker 2: hides him in a library. There will be and again
- 23:36Speaker 2: the testimony's just beginning because they're doing the podcast. A
- 23:38Speaker 2: fellow judge is gonna describe some of the things that
- 23:42Speaker 2: Dugan did that should be testifying for the prosecution. That
- 23:47Speaker 2: clearly was an attempt to obstruct ice and obstruct is
- 23:50Speaker 2: just that obstruct beings interfered getting the way of screw
- 23:53Speaker 2: with an investigation. It's clear to me that she did it.
- 23:57Speaker 2: On the other hand, we have a huge segment in
- 24:01Speaker 2: this country that doesn't believe that people should be arrested
- 24:04Speaker 2: by ice, even people that are people who've committed crimes.
- 24:10Speaker 2: You see the media's references to all of this, none
- 24:12Speaker 2: of they make any reference at all to the crimes
- 24:14Speaker 2: that he committed here in the United States, aside from
- 24:17Speaker 2: the fact that he was here illegally. Now the trial
- 24:22Speaker 2: is in federal court in Milwaukee. That means the jury
- 24:26Speaker 2: pool comes from the region, not just Milwaukee County. If
- 24:30Speaker 2: it was a Milwaukee County only jury, in other words,
- 24:33Speaker 2: one that's probably almost all Democrats. Who knows how it
- 24:36Speaker 2: would turn out. We do know this, Hanna Dugan has hired.
- 24:41Speaker 2: She's got like thirty five I mean clearly they raise
- 24:44Speaker 2: money for her legal defense team because half the lawyers
- 24:46Speaker 2: in Southeast was considered defending her. The judge in the case,
- 24:51Speaker 2: Len Aedeman, is a big time lefty. There had been
- 24:54Speaker 2: indications prior to the trial that this would go to
- 24:57Speaker 2: a plea bargain, and it didn't. My guess is her
- 25:00Speaker 2: her lawyers were looking for a plea bargain in which
- 25:02Speaker 2: she pleaded guilty to virtually zip, and the federal prosecutors
- 25:05Speaker 2: didn't want to do that deal. There's also the chance
- 25:09Speaker 2: that they can still You can do a plea bargain
- 25:11Speaker 2: at any point up to the point that the jury
- 25:13Speaker 2: comes back of the verdict. There could still be one
- 25:17Speaker 2: depending on how the trial goes. If Dougan's lawyers think
- 25:20Speaker 2: that it looks bad for her, they may offer to
- 25:23Speaker 2: plead to something from her perspective. Again, the judge is
- 25:27Speaker 2: Lennada when he's a big time lefty. They may be
- 25:30Speaker 2: counting on that even if she's convicted, he won't sentence
- 25:32Speaker 2: her to anything, but it is a felony that she's
- 25:35Speaker 2: charged with, which I mean no longer being able to
- 25:37Speaker 2: be a judge, being dispired in the whole thing if
- 25:41Speaker 2: she's convicted. I have said that this case just screamed
- 25:44Speaker 2: out for a plea bargain in which Dugan would admit, resign,
- 25:50Speaker 2: and then knock at any jail time, because, as I say,
- 25:52Speaker 2: the evidence of her illegality is just obvious. I don't
- 26:01Speaker 2: even want to use Cedarburgh given what happened over the weekend.
- 26:04Speaker 2: If me, let's imagine the police there's somebody that's look,
- 26:08Speaker 2: they're looking for somebody that they think might have committed
- 26:10Speaker 2: a murderer, and they come over to my place and
- 26:11Speaker 2: it turns out that I'm hiding him and say that
- 26:13Speaker 2: he's not there. That's obstruction. It's what obstruction is not
- 26:17Speaker 2: to mention the fact that she's a judge and she's
- 26:19Speaker 2: being presented with a warrant, and then you just go,
- 26:25Speaker 2: it's this, it's all Trump derangement syndrome. First of all,
- 26:28Speaker 2: what did she think? First of all, the guy's facing charges.
- 26:31Speaker 2: At some point, he's gonna be in court unless he
- 26:33Speaker 2: flees back to Mexico. What did she think that ICE
- 26:36Speaker 2: was gonna after they centered on the ICE was going
- 26:38Speaker 2: to give up and drop the warrant? What was their
- 26:41Speaker 2: endgame on this? And I suspect it was just I'm
- 26:44Speaker 2: not going to cooperate with ICE. Who left is just
- 26:47Speaker 2: obsessed that ICE is the worst agency in the world. Furthermore,
- 26:55Speaker 2: one of the arguments that you've been getting from lefties
- 26:58Speaker 2: is well, I should only be focusing on the criminals
- 27:01Speaker 2: that have the illegal immigrants who've committed separate crimes. That's
- 27:05Speaker 2: what this guy was. The reason he was in Dugan's
- 27:09Speaker 2: court is because he's facing criminal charges for a violent
- 27:12Speaker 2: crime here. So what's the rationale the people that are
- 27:17Speaker 2: all protesting and defending Hinna Dugan. This is an illegal
- 27:21Speaker 2: immigrant who is accused you of committing other crimes while
- 27:25Speaker 2: here separate from his illegal status. How does he become
- 27:29Speaker 2: a poster child for anything. This isn't some hardworking restaurant
- 27:35Speaker 2: worker or hotel made It's an accused criminal. Now to
- 27:42Speaker 2: this story, I find his stupid criminal stories to be
- 27:48Speaker 2: amusing to me. Do you find these stories to be amusing? No,
- 27:54Speaker 2: it's a tragic story. But how the individual was arrested
- 28:01Speaker 2: extraordinary stuff. This is a I follow this story somewhat
- 28:07Speaker 2: because I was trying to find out whether or not
- 28:08Speaker 2: there was a connection to how the city of Milwaukee
- 28:12Speaker 2: has screwed up the street involved. There is no more
- 28:14Speaker 2: screwed up street in the United States of America than
- 28:17Speaker 2: Van Buren Street in Milwaukee. It's all been done by
- 28:19Speaker 2: the mayor, Cavalier Johnson. As I say, if you want
- 28:22Speaker 2: to just have a if you would like to explain
- 28:24Speaker 2: to your child how stupid liberals are, just make a
- 28:27Speaker 2: field trip to Milwaukee and drive up Van Buren Street
- 28:30Speaker 2: and show them this street. It used to be a
- 28:34Speaker 2: one way street that headed north, and it was paired
- 28:36Speaker 2: with Jackson Street, which is a one way street that
- 28:38Speaker 2: headed south. There's a lot of stuff on there, the
- 28:41Speaker 2: seven seventy seven apartment complexes there. It's also the street
- 28:46Speaker 2: that's the only real exit from I seven ninety four.
- 28:50Speaker 2: It's the where the freeway filt is into downtown Milwaukee.
- 28:54Speaker 2: You can go south on Jackson into the third ward
- 28:56Speaker 2: and north on Ben Buren to head toward the east
- 28:58Speaker 2: side of Milwaukee and the rest of downtow On and
- 29:00Speaker 2: so on. Anyway, they took out used to be two
- 29:08Speaker 2: lanes in each direction. They took out one of the
- 29:10Speaker 2: lanes that put in these concrete medians to create a
- 29:13Speaker 2: lane for buses and the scooters, so the concrete median
- 29:17Speaker 2: is actually in the street. So now you have just
- 29:22Speaker 2: one lane in each direction and cars that have to
- 29:25Speaker 2: turn one way, plus an extremely busy street the Amazon
- 29:28Speaker 2: and ups trucks that have to do the deliveries. There
- 29:31Speaker 2: are people who when they make right turns that end
- 29:34Speaker 2: up driving into the into the bicycle lane because they
- 29:38Speaker 2: don't realize they have to go all the way to
- 29:40Speaker 2: the middle of the street because there's this hunk of
- 29:42Speaker 2: concrete out there. Then they put up these little sticks
- 29:45Speaker 2: in the middle of the street to separate the two lanes,
- 29:47Speaker 2: and now they've made it two ways. It's just it's
- 29:51Speaker 2: a mess beyond belief. And anybody with any sanity does
- 29:54Speaker 2: everything in their power, and I'll go out of their
- 29:56Speaker 2: way just to avoid going on Van Buren. I mean,
- 29:58Speaker 2: I sware you can get off that thing on the
- 30:00Speaker 2: freeway end. If you were trying to get say, up
- 30:02Speaker 2: to Brady Street, it's possible. You would never in your
- 30:06Speaker 2: lifetime make it. That's how badly they screwed up the street. Anyway,
- 30:09Speaker 2: this incident occurred there there was I don't in the
- 30:14Speaker 2: story I read, it didn't indicate the ride sharing service.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I'm sure it was either Uber or a lyft, but
- 30:18Speaker 2: there was in I'm looking here and see if I
- 30:22Speaker 2: can see it. Well, let's just call it a rideshair driver.
- 30:26Speaker 2: The driver was evidently doing either a drop off or
- 30:33Speaker 2: pick up at the corner of Van Buren and Juno.
- 30:37Speaker 2: This is a really busy well, all this corners on
- 30:40Speaker 2: Van Buren are really really busy. There's apartment building on
- 30:44Speaker 2: one side, there's a subway over there. It's across the
- 30:46Speaker 2: street from the Metro Market, which is a big grocery store.
- 30:51Speaker 2: There's a new apartment complex called Nova that's up on
- 30:55Speaker 2: that street. It's just really really busy. And as I say,
- 30:57Speaker 2: the street is screwed up and there's not a lot
- 31:02Speaker 2: of room for drop offs. Anyway, somebody was either being
- 31:06Speaker 2: picked up or dropped off on a ride sharing service.
- 31:10Speaker 2: And while that happened, a Nissan SUV came plowing down
- 31:17Speaker 2: the street and hit the vehicle, seriously injuring the driver.
- 31:26Speaker 2: The driver for either Uber or Lyft. So if you
- 31:28Speaker 2: can visualize this. You know, the driver's on the left
- 31:31Speaker 2: side of the vehicle. Somebody's plowing through, so the car
- 31:33Speaker 2: was hit on the driver's side, which would make sense
- 31:35Speaker 2: as the person's working their way through what's left of
- 31:38Speaker 2: the driving lane. So again, I've been following this story
- 31:41Speaker 2: to see whether or not I can blame it on
- 31:42Speaker 2: the street construction, because they've done all of this supposedly
- 31:44Speaker 2: to make things safer. But I haven't seen video of it.
- 31:48Speaker 2: There's video everywhere downtown Milwaukee, but I haven't seen video
- 31:51Speaker 2: of it. In any event, that's not the part of
- 31:53Speaker 2: the story that we're focusing on. The driver of the
- 31:57Speaker 2: Nissan left the scene. They've caught her. Do you read
- 32:10Speaker 2: how they caught her? Well, no, again, put yourself in
- 32:15Speaker 2: the other guy's shoes. And I'm sure everybody who's just
- 32:19Speaker 2: caused an accident when they're on the run, there is
- 32:21Speaker 2: a temptation to run. Most people don't. Bad people do.
- 32:25Speaker 2: The people who run also tend to be people who
- 32:26Speaker 2: may be drunk obviously, people in stolen vehicles and so on.
- 32:30Speaker 2: In some cases, maybe you're none of that and you're
- 32:32Speaker 2: just panic. But if it's legitimately an accident, you'd stay
- 32:36Speaker 2: on the scene. In any event, the vehicle ran and
- 32:40Speaker 2: the authorities had something of a description of it. And
- 32:42Speaker 2: again there's cameras all over the place down there, and
- 32:45Speaker 2: there was some video the captured. If nothing to identify
- 32:48Speaker 2: a license plate or anything like this, all they knew
- 32:50Speaker 2: for sure is that it was a Nissan Suv. Now
- 32:56Speaker 2: you should call up your son in law who's a cop,
- 32:58Speaker 2: because he would kill you. Ho cop investigate cases like this.
- 33:02Speaker 2: You you don't know anything about anything. Do you imagine
- 33:04Speaker 2: if well, as I said, the camera only came up
- 33:07Speaker 2: with nies On Suv, not anything beyond that, and they
- 33:13Speaker 2: can track you through others all But as I say,
- 33:15Speaker 2: all they had was nie on Suv because that isn't
- 33:18Speaker 2: they were just they just know it was a nie
- 33:19Speaker 2: On Suv. Beyond niss On suv and you didn't have
- 33:22Speaker 2: a license plate, what would you do? And I'll admit
- 33:27Speaker 2: the things that they do are rather clever and creative
- 33:30Speaker 2: and not everything anymore can be. This is not even
- 33:33Speaker 2: really CSI stuff. It's more like go to old fashioned
- 33:38Speaker 2: investigative stuff, talk to witnesses. They did that, and as
- 33:43Speaker 2: I said, where this is no matter what or they again,
- 33:45Speaker 2: people saw all of it. What they didn't have was
- 33:47Speaker 2: a license plate. They didn't have that, so they don't
- 33:49Speaker 2: know who the driver of the vehicle is. And the
- 33:50Speaker 2: vehicle was gone. Yeah they no, they didn't have a name.
- 33:54Speaker 2: They know who was hit, but the driver of the
- 33:56Speaker 2: vehicle was gone, and they didn't know there's a violent crash.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Though they didn't know much of anything else. That they
- 34:03Speaker 2: did have, as I say, video surveillance, so they could
- 34:05Speaker 2: see the vehicle moving along and so on. But the
- 34:08Speaker 2: driver did get away. They as I did, they did
- 34:16Speaker 2: all the tracking to the cameras until there's no long
- 34:19Speaker 2: until there's no longer any camera, until there's no longer
- 34:22Speaker 2: any sign of the vehicle. Here's what they did. Now,
- 34:29Speaker 2: whether or not this was a tip or whether or
- 34:32Speaker 2: not they simply looked for all of them. Would you
- 34:34Speaker 2: believe that the driver put it an insurance claim for
- 34:38Speaker 2: the repair. I Now, let's imagine you just caused a
- 34:43Speaker 2: terrible crash by striking into someone. Your car's banged up,
- 34:47Speaker 2: so probably you want to get it fixed. On the
- 34:50Speaker 2: other hand, one of the things that they do always
- 34:52Speaker 2: in cases like this is they look to contact all
- 34:54Speaker 2: the body shops. If you had a nieside SUV that
- 34:57Speaker 2: comes in In this instance, they found out because there
- 35:00Speaker 2: was an insurance claim that was filed on behalf of
- 35:02Speaker 2: the vehicle. So they went back and indeed they tracked
- 35:06Speaker 2: the insurance claim back to the vehicle. It's an EISTS
- 35:09Speaker 2: on suv. The damage is exactly where the damage would
- 35:12Speaker 2: be on this car. Is this cheap skatedness or stupidity? Stupidity? Well,
- 35:20Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you don't prepare in an
- 35:22Speaker 2: insurance claim, you gotta pay for the whole thing yourself, right,
- 35:25Speaker 2: wouldn't you just kind of think that if you're trying
- 35:27Speaker 2: to cover this up, you wouldn't tell, you know, you
- 35:31Speaker 2: wouldn't tell your insurance company and create the most blatant
- 35:35Speaker 2: paper trail imaginable. I mean, I'm thinking, somehow find a
- 35:43Speaker 2: Junkyard dealer that's gonna take it on the sly and
- 35:46Speaker 2: just get rid of the whole thing whatsoever. Or you
- 35:49Speaker 2: can't even report it stolen because they'll ask you what
- 35:52Speaker 2: it is and you say Nissan Suv. I wait a minute, Well,
- 35:57Speaker 2: was a woman charge here? Her name is Jenny Fisher Jay.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I'm sure that's a common name. She's twenty four and
- 36:04Speaker 2: New Berlin was the address list the twenty four year
- 36:06Speaker 2: old Jenny Fisher. I checked her LinkedIn. She is a
- 36:09Speaker 2: hostess at a downtown restaurant and a couple of other
- 36:11Speaker 2: things which she's the suspect. Voting for the story on
- 36:14Speaker 2: FOXIX and again cases very very serious. As of December tenth,
- 36:18Speaker 2: just a few days ago, court filing said the victim's
- 36:20Speaker 2: family told police that the victim was in a coma
- 36:22Speaker 2: and his condition it was worsening. He had two surgeries,
- 36:25Speaker 2: one of which removed part of his skull to release
- 36:27Speaker 2: swelling and pressure on his brain. The criminal complaints of
- 36:30Speaker 2: the victim's white Nissan was parked on and me have
- 36:36Speaker 2: misread a portion of this I did. It was a
- 36:38Speaker 2: Jeep compass, was the striking vehicle that was the tip
- 36:41Speaker 2: off on this of the insurance camecome of the driver
- 36:44Speaker 2: had a Jeep compass. The white Nissan was being driven
- 36:47Speaker 2: by the bride sharing driver, So it was a Jeep
- 36:51Speaker 2: Compass that they were driving, and that's what it was
- 36:53Speaker 2: that they were looking for. So they were looking for
- 36:56Speaker 2: a Jeep compass. And it was estimated from the video
- 36:58Speaker 2: to beating a twenty eighteen into a twenty twenty and
- 37:04Speaker 2: it said that the damage on the vehicle was consistent
- 37:06Speaker 2: with it having been sideswiped. Surveillance video from a nearby
- 37:10Speaker 2: building showed the victim's Nissan park facing southbound on the
- 37:14Speaker 2: west side of Edburen Street. The hazard lights came on,
- 37:16Speaker 2: the victim got out of the driver's seat and a
- 37:18Speaker 2: passenger got out of the back seat. Now, why would
- 37:21Speaker 2: the driver have been getting out, And this is just
- 37:24Speaker 2: it's just one of the unfortunate. The passenger must have
- 37:29Speaker 2: been coming from the airport or somewhere because they had
- 37:31Speaker 2: baggage in the trunk. And often, I know, not always
- 37:35Speaker 2: most of the time, if I'm coming from the airport
- 37:37Speaker 2: or something, if i have an uber sometimes if the
- 37:39Speaker 2: car has the button that they pushed to raise the
- 37:42Speaker 2: Khan trunk, I'll just go grab the bag. I don't
- 37:44Speaker 2: need him to do it. But sometimes the driver is
- 37:46Speaker 2: just proactive that they want to go and take the
- 37:48Speaker 2: bag out. This driver was getting out, So the driver's
- 37:51Speaker 2: getting out now of the driver's side, and that's when
- 37:56Speaker 2: the driver was drilled. Drilled. They walked to the trunk
- 38:00Speaker 2: and grab baggage. At that point, Court filing said an
- 38:02Speaker 2: SUV was seen speeding south butt of Van Buaen with
- 38:04Speaker 2: no tail lights on. Now I don't know if there
- 38:07Speaker 2: were no headlights on, but the camera only captured the
- 38:10Speaker 2: vehicle from behind it. It showed no tail lights on.
- 38:12Speaker 2: The suv struck the victim and the Nissan, and it
- 38:15Speaker 2: kept driving until it was out of the view of
- 38:16Speaker 2: the camera. The passenger said the victim was his ride
- 38:20Speaker 2: share driver. Prosecutor said video from before the crash captured
- 38:24Speaker 2: the same jeep driving with no front end damage. So
- 38:27Speaker 2: they had earlier video no damage in the front end.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Now they see the impact. So they're out there and
- 38:33Speaker 2: they're trying to track down where the jeep who had
- 38:35Speaker 2: the jeep compass. Police reached out to the National Insurance
- 38:38Speaker 2: Crime Bureau. I didn't know there was such a thing,
- 38:41Speaker 2: but there is. Would you believe in the National Insurance
- 38:44Speaker 2: Crime Bureau tracks all the reports. When you know, when
- 38:49Speaker 2: an insurance company gets a claim for autobody damage, that
- 38:52Speaker 2: gets into some database, and the National Crime Bureau has
- 38:56Speaker 2: this database just in case somebody is going to be
- 38:59Speaker 2: looking out for vehicle that may have been damaged. Otherwise,
- 39:03Speaker 2: for all I know, if the person comes into the
- 39:04Speaker 2: body shop, they could have just said my car was
- 39:07Speaker 2: side swipe. They contacted the National Insurance Crime Bureau for
- 39:11Speaker 2: a list of insurance claims for twenty seventeen to twenty
- 39:14Speaker 2: five jeep compasses in Wisconsin in Illinois, so all the
- 39:18Speaker 2: cheap compasses for which there was an insurance claim that
- 39:20Speaker 2: was put in during that period of time. They put
- 39:22Speaker 2: out a search for court filing said they found a
- 39:25Speaker 2: claim on a twenty eighteen jeep compass that was that
- 39:28Speaker 2: was made in December third, two days after the crash,
- 39:30Speaker 2: and got a VIN number. Now I think that's good
- 39:33Speaker 2: police work, don't you. It is also beyond me as too.
- 39:39Speaker 2: You take the courage and you put in an insurance
- 39:42Speaker 2: claim on it. The UH story says that the police
- 39:50Speaker 2: then contacted this woman, Jenny Fisher. In the police report.
- 39:55Speaker 2: The complaint said that Fisher wrote, I was at work
- 39:57Speaker 2: and this is this is apparently what you put in
- 40:00Speaker 2: for sure when she made the report for the insurance,
- 40:03Speaker 2: I was at work and when I left and got
- 40:04Speaker 2: to my front got to my car, the front right
- 40:07Speaker 2: side was smashed, windshield crushed, and the mirror broken. That
- 40:11Speaker 2: actually happened to me in a vehicle of mine a
- 40:14Speaker 2: number of years ago. But I caused the damage. I
- 40:17Speaker 2: in fact, it was on the street like that, I
- 40:19Speaker 2: SWI sidesweped somebody. It just it was my fault. It
- 40:21Speaker 2: was one of those cases of there was one of
- 40:23Speaker 2: those big box trucks that was kind of parked on
- 40:25Speaker 2: a little bit into the lane. I thought I was clear,
- 40:27Speaker 2: and I wasn't, and I smacked the mirror off on
- 40:29Speaker 2: the side and scraped the side of the whole thing.
- 40:31Speaker 2: And I said, I did it well. She claimed, this
- 40:34Speaker 2: is what happened to her, only somebody sideswiped her, whereas
- 40:37Speaker 2: in fact she's speeding down Van Buren and caused this
- 40:39Speaker 2: wreckand badly injured someone. Under the value she put twenty
- 40:46Speaker 2: five hundred dollars in under property. She wrote, my literal car.
- 40:51Speaker 2: There's something about this generation and the use of the
- 40:53Speaker 2: word literal literally. Why did they put the word literally
- 40:56Speaker 2: in every sentence? They ever use? My literal car? She wrote,
- 41:03Speaker 2: They all say it that way. She actually wrote it. Seriously,
- 41:07Speaker 2: you watch any of these YouTube videos they say literally
- 41:10Speaker 2: all the time. Do your daughter say literally in every sentence?
- 41:14Speaker 2: Did they try to when they were eleven and you
- 41:16Speaker 2: got them out of that, or did they just never
- 41:20Speaker 2: They used to say like a lot, and you train
- 41:22Speaker 2: them not to like everything well, you know, like you know,
- 41:25Speaker 2: that goes back to my era though, I mean I
- 41:28Speaker 2: remember a lot of kids would say, like, you know,
- 41:30Speaker 2: they would just throw the word lake in gratuitously, but
- 41:33Speaker 2: literally is thrown in literally all the time. Literally. She
- 41:36Speaker 2: wrote it in her thing, my literal car as supposed
- 41:41Speaker 2: to watch your car described it as a twenty eighteen
- 41:45Speaker 2: Jeep Compass with damage to the right side. Okay, so
- 41:48Speaker 2: the police see this might be it. Police noted all
- 41:53Speaker 2: the streets that the suspects jeep was seen driving on
- 41:57Speaker 2: were two way streets, meaning the jeep would not have
- 41:59Speaker 2: its right side of exposed to the street to be
- 42:01Speaker 2: damaged to a crash. However, right side damage would be
- 42:04Speaker 2: consistent with the crash that seriously injured the victim. In
- 42:07Speaker 2: other words, her point was is that she claimed that
- 42:08Speaker 2: the right side of the vehicle was damaged when it
- 42:10Speaker 2: was side slight. But normally your right side on a
- 42:14Speaker 2: two way street, it would be parked so that the
- 42:16Speaker 2: right side is next to the curb and the sidewalk
- 42:18Speaker 2: and not to the road. All right, So they've got
- 42:22Speaker 2: the video of the vehicle, they see all this and
- 42:24Speaker 2: putting two and two together. The complaint said. Surveillance video
- 42:28Speaker 2: from Fisher's address said showed she entered an underground parking
- 42:32Speaker 2: structure immediately after the crash in her jeep had significant
- 42:35Speaker 2: damage to the front passenger side corner. The video clearly
- 42:38Speaker 2: showed the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Court filing said initial video from the building showed the
- 42:43Speaker 2: driver getting out of the jeep and having difficulty walking,
- 42:46Speaker 2: her body bumping into both sides of a staircase. Now,
- 42:49Speaker 2: obviously they're putting all of that in because they're going
- 42:51Speaker 2: to be they're suggesting perhaps that there may have been
- 42:53Speaker 2: a level of intoxication. That will be a difficult thing
- 42:56Speaker 2: to prove unless they go back and they can track
- 42:58Speaker 2: her whereabouts and her movement before and earlier that night.
- 43:02Speaker 2: And I'm sure they're going to attempt to do that,
- 43:04Speaker 2: But it would be an explanation if there was an
- 43:06Speaker 2: impairment as to why she would have left the scene,
- 43:09Speaker 2: in addition to the fact that she must have been
- 43:11Speaker 2: at fault. It it's very very possible that, as I said,
- 43:14Speaker 2: mentioning what's going on with that street and how narrowood is,
- 43:17Speaker 2: that it might have simply been an accident. If the
- 43:21Speaker 2: ride share driver was kind of parked into the lane
- 43:23Speaker 2: end the person couldn't stop. But according to the video,
- 43:27Speaker 2: the driver was going at a really high rate of speed.
- 43:29Speaker 2: And as I said, if you just try to drive
- 43:31Speaker 2: down Vima, I don't even if there's no traffic, it's
- 43:34Speaker 2: almost impossible to go out a high rate of speed
- 43:36Speaker 2: on that street because the street is it's the closest
- 43:39Speaker 2: thing to like those mazes that they have the rats
- 43:41Speaker 2: run around in and the science experiments. So again, tragic accident,
- 43:47Speaker 2: but they've caught the woman involved in Who knows if
- 43:51Speaker 2: they would have caught her if she hadn't put in
- 43:52Speaker 2: the insurance claim. Pause it literally, I mean she wrote
- 43:58Speaker 2: the word literally literal. Who she actually wrote literal? Well,
- 44:05Speaker 2: then they've got the mug shot and she looks stone.
- 44:07Speaker 2: But I if they ever do a mugshot of me,
- 44:11Speaker 2: I'm just gonna focus on, you know, like you know
- 44:13Speaker 2: who understood the mugshot? Trump? Trump knows this mugshot's gonna
- 44:17Speaker 2: be the most famous mugshot of all time. I'm gonna
- 44:20Speaker 2: steer into this thing looking so damned defiant. Trump turned
- 44:23Speaker 2: his mug shot into a campaign poster. See, you got
- 44:27Speaker 2: to know a goof like you if you ever do
- 44:28Speaker 2: any you gotta think about that if you did, say
- 44:31Speaker 2: just I don't know how you're supposed to look, but
- 44:32Speaker 2: try to look as normal as possible. You well, don't smile,
- 44:37Speaker 2: I mean, don't smile, don't look sad. I mean, if
- 44:40Speaker 2: you have a blank stare, they're gonna say a blank stare.
- 44:42Speaker 2: I don't know how it is that you're supposed to
- 44:43Speaker 2: pull this off, but I mean, like, don't have droopy
- 44:46Speaker 2: eyes and don't le look like you're smashed or something
- 44:49Speaker 2: like that. Mugshot strategies being offered here on the Marketing Podcast.
- 44:54Speaker 2: I guess just a very very bad weekend on the
- 44:57Speaker 2: news and some of these stories truly terrible. When we
- 45:08Speaker 2: come back in the next segment, I'm seeing some positive
- 45:14Speaker 2: developments in a couple of really and this whole is
- 45:21Speaker 2: the world going crazy? Is our nation going crazy? There's
- 45:25Speaker 2: bad news everywhere, but you can find signs and I
- 45:30Speaker 2: have some of them and they're good coming up at
- 45:32Speaker 2: a moment on the Mark Belling Podcast. This is the
- 45:37Speaker 2: Mark Belling Podcast. If you take a look at what's
- 45:43Speaker 2: going on politically all over the world in the nations
- 45:50Speaker 2: that still have elections, and I don't even know what
- 45:54Speaker 2: percentage that is. Obviously some countries have sham elections, but
- 45:57Speaker 2: in the countries that have elections, even the country there
- 46:00Speaker 2: is that have moved to the fire left. We our
- 46:03Speaker 2: Marxist all over the place. You see the political organizations
- 46:09Speaker 2: and candidates from the right prevailing. There was an election
- 46:13Speaker 2: over the weekend in Chile. The Marxists were voted out
- 46:20Speaker 2: and the conservative they call them rightist. That's late one.
- 46:25Speaker 2: This mirror is what happened a couple of years ago
- 46:27Speaker 2: in Argentina, which had been socialist forever, where a conservative
- 46:31Speaker 2: candidate won his slate of candidates was then prevailed in
- 46:35Speaker 2: the most recent elections a few months ago. There are
- 46:39Speaker 2: still clearly Baska cases in South America. Brazil is borderline Marxist,
- 46:43Speaker 2: Venezuela is Marxist. There are a couple of other countries
- 46:47Speaker 2: on tilt, but in the countries in which elections have occurred,
- 46:50Speaker 2: the trend in South America seems to be a bounce
- 46:53Speaker 2: back from that. Now it's easy for me to explain
- 46:56Speaker 2: that most of South America has been at least social,
- 47:00Speaker 2: if not out and out Marxist, for years it's been
- 47:03Speaker 2: a disaster. And when something becomes a disaster after years,
- 47:07Speaker 2: if you still have the ability to vote, there can
- 47:10Speaker 2: be a bounce back from people. We can't have any
- 47:12Speaker 2: more of this. In the meantime, public opinion polls in
- 47:19Speaker 2: the following three European countries right now all show the
- 47:25Speaker 2: rightest political party in the lead. Now, there is a
- 47:28Speaker 2: complicating factor in Europe. In most countries in Europe there's
- 47:32Speaker 2: more than one party. There can be two, three, four
- 47:36Speaker 2: or even five, and in order to form of government,
- 47:39Speaker 2: the party that wins has to try to form a
- 47:41Speaker 2: coalition with other components. So when I say lead, in
- 47:44Speaker 2: some cases in Europe, leading might not be fifty percent.
- 47:48Speaker 2: It just means leading. But of the following countries, the
- 47:51Speaker 2: rightest political party is in the lead in the UK, France,
- 47:55Speaker 2: and this is the one that's really notable Germany. Germany's
- 47:59Speaker 2: had a conservative movement for some time, but it's been
- 48:02Speaker 2: on the fringe. The conservative movement in France has been stronger,
- 48:06Speaker 2: it's never fully prevailed. That's the one that's been led
- 48:08Speaker 2: by Marine La penn In all three countries right now,
- 48:15Speaker 2: the political polls show a sentiment leaning towards the RTIs.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Now I know why this is. There is a disaster
- 48:22Speaker 2: in Europe with terrorism being committed and violence being committed
- 48:27Speaker 2: by Muslims who are residents of those countries. There's a
- 48:31Speaker 2: total rebellion against and a pushback against the open border
- 48:36Speaker 2: policies that's been in place in that country that is
- 48:38Speaker 2: threatening their culture, and now it's just turned to out
- 48:42Speaker 2: and out violence. There have been attacks in numerous countries,
- 48:48Speaker 2: not only un Jewish people as Hanukkah was beginning, but
- 48:53Speaker 2: we're in the Christmas season and aimed at Christians, and
- 48:56Speaker 2: the overwhelming majority of them seems to be coming from Muslims.
- 49:02Speaker 2: The open borders that has occurred in Europe as creating
- 49:06Speaker 2: a significant backlash. So in any event, I'm just noting
- 49:10Speaker 2: that I mentioned South America with Chile after Argentina, Brazil
- 49:15Speaker 2: is going to be the biggest. Whatever way Brazil goes
- 49:17Speaker 2: in the next few years determines the fate of South
- 49:19Speaker 2: America because Brazil is so big and so dominant, and
- 49:23Speaker 2: now in Europe there's clearly a backlash against this nightmare
- 49:28Speaker 2: that's occurred, with huge segments of the population being Muslims
- 49:32Speaker 2: who have chosen not to assimilate to the French culture
- 49:35Speaker 2: or the British culture, of the German culture, but have
- 49:37Speaker 2: just decided that they want to import their own culture
- 49:39Speaker 2: and their own beliefs, which is a complete lack of
- 49:44Speaker 2: respect at all for anyone who has a different religious
- 49:47Speaker 2: belief at all. In the meantime, in the United States,
- 49:53Speaker 2: we obviously have a countervailing tread. We don't know long
- 49:57Speaker 2: term which one is going to win. The twenty twenty
- 49:59Speaker 2: four our election showed a significant turn to the right
- 50:02Speaker 2: in the United States. You can call it simply Trump
- 50:06Speaker 2: or you can ascribe it to Maga. I don't think
- 50:09Speaker 2: we'll know until twenty twenty eight which of the two
- 50:11Speaker 2: it is. Was the twenty twenty four victory simply Trump
- 50:16Speaker 2: sweeping in lots of other Republicans and was the mega
- 50:19Speaker 2: movement nothing more than simply Trump or was it an
- 50:24Speaker 2: ideological shift to the right that dragged trump alog people
- 50:29Speaker 2: have two theories. There are two competing theories. One, Trump's
- 50:32Speaker 2: driving all of this and other Republicans were dragged in
- 50:35Speaker 2: because of the popularity of Trump. The flip side of
- 50:38Speaker 2: this is the ideas of Trump are taking sway and
- 50:41Speaker 2: Trump won despite the fact that he polarizes and antagonizes
- 50:45Speaker 2: a segment of the people who voted for him don't know.
- 50:50Speaker 2: That was only a year ago, and just one year later,
- 50:52Speaker 2: it appears as though the trend everywhere is toward Marxism.
- 50:57Speaker 2: You not only have an out no Marxist getting a
- 51:00Speaker 2: elected mayor of New York, you had the congressional race
- 51:03Speaker 2: in Tennessee where quasi Marxis got forty six percent of
- 51:06Speaker 2: the vote in a Tennessee congression, didn't win, but ran
- 51:10Speaker 2: better than the Democrat would normally run. Most people believe
- 51:15Speaker 2: that twenty twenty six is going to be a blood
- 51:17Speaker 2: bath for the Republicans. It was only a year ago
- 51:20Speaker 2: after Trump's win that you saw all of these analysts,
- 51:22Speaker 2: including many of the Democratic sides, saying, we've got to
- 51:25Speaker 2: reject this AOC stuff. We've got to go back to
- 51:27Speaker 2: being more moderate Democrats, that this embrace of all this
- 51:31Speaker 2: radical stuff, that trans stuff and so on is poisoned
- 51:34Speaker 2: to us. The embrace of open borders has been poisoned
- 51:37Speaker 2: to us. But only a year later, the Democrats are
- 51:40Speaker 2: hell bent on moving even farther to the left, and
- 51:43Speaker 2: they think that's the way that they can win by
- 51:44Speaker 2: simply going all out Marxists. The twenty sixth election will
- 51:49Speaker 2: not answer the question. The one in twenty eight will
- 51:52Speaker 2: Why Well, first of all, Trump won't be on the ballot,
- 51:56Speaker 2: whether it be Vans or Marjorie Taylor Green or Rubio,
- 51:58Speaker 2: whoever it is, there'll be another Republican running for president.
- 52:02Speaker 2: They'll probably be running out a platform pretty similar to
- 52:04Speaker 2: the general notion of MAGA and the Democratic candidate I
- 52:09Speaker 2: think for very very likely be especially if they win
- 52:11Speaker 2: big in twenty six it'll be a quasi Marxist that
- 52:14Speaker 2: they run on their side. And then we'll see, we'll
- 52:17Speaker 2: see whether or not this was just a one off
- 52:18Speaker 2: on Trump won in twenty twenty four, or if it's
- 52:20Speaker 2: a longer term trend in the United States away from
- 52:23Speaker 2: the radical vision of the Democratic Party. Usually, though, what
- 52:28Speaker 2: happens in the United States is reflected in the broader world,
- 52:33Speaker 2: and there is a movement to the right in a
- 52:35Speaker 2: number of countries in the Western world. And when we
- 52:39Speaker 2: say western, always wondered that whole western because it is
- 52:43Speaker 2: at Western hemisphere. But for example, you know, the western
- 52:47Speaker 2: portion of Europe is considered the Western world. South America
- 52:50Speaker 2: is considered the Western world. But like Russia's not the
- 52:52Speaker 2: Western world. China's not the Western world anyway. And now
- 52:56Speaker 2: this story. I have commented forever on the Republicans who
- 53:11Speaker 2: don't fight. It's been a problem in Wisconsin, it's a
- 53:15Speaker 2: problem everywhere. One of the things that I think attracted
- 53:20Speaker 2: many Republicans to Trump back in sixteen and again in
- 53:25Speaker 2: twenty four, what it appeared as though he was politically
- 53:27Speaker 2: dead in twenty two and twenty three, how he resurrected
- 53:31Speaker 2: himself among Republican voters. Whether you like Trump or not,
- 53:37Speaker 2: everyone will acknowledge she's a fighter. It's why the left
- 53:41Speaker 2: hates him. Trump fights. Some people believe that he fights
- 53:45Speaker 2: too hard, and he fights that he doesn't need to fight.
- 53:47Speaker 2: But Trump's a fighter, and I think most Republicans are not,
- 53:52Speaker 2: which brings us to this whole battle in the United
- 53:55Speaker 2: States of a redistricting all over the country, Democrats that
- 54:01Speaker 2: have not already jurymandered themselves so that their districts are
- 54:05Speaker 2: disproportionately Democrat are moving to do so, like California, where
- 54:10Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom of the California Democrats are going to redraw
- 54:12Speaker 2: the congressional districts to try to add a number of
- 54:15Speaker 2: Democratic districts that are currently Republican, which of course you
- 54:18Speaker 2: can do by finagling with where the district lights are
- 54:22Speaker 2: in Texas. However, Republicans tried to do the same thing
- 54:25Speaker 2: and a judge struck it down, which brings us to Indiana.
- 54:31Speaker 2: Indiana is an extremely republican state. About the only part
- 54:36Speaker 2: of Indiana that's not Republican is some areas of the
- 54:39Speaker 2: city of Indianapolis. But even as the big cities go,
- 54:42Speaker 2: Indianapolis is the less. They're all Democrat, but Indianapolis is
- 54:48Speaker 2: one of the least liberal of the big cities. It's
- 54:50Speaker 2: still liberal, but you know, think of not Seattle or
- 54:54Speaker 2: San Franciscocia, Cargo or anything like that. So Indiana is
- 54:58Speaker 2: and then there's a couple of college towns in the
- 54:59Speaker 2: Lee democratic, but otherwise India is very republican, very Trump
- 55:06Speaker 2: had a massive percentage when he carried the state. The
- 55:10Speaker 2: Indiana legislature. Legislative leaders had a bill to withdraw the
- 55:15Speaker 2: congressional districts in Indiana to make them more republican. They
- 55:18Speaker 2: were going to try to make it nine to zero,
- 55:20Speaker 2: in other words, draw the districts so that there would
- 55:22Speaker 2: be a Republican majority in each of them. Trump has
- 55:26Speaker 2: been pushing this because, as I mentioned, across the United States,
- 55:31Speaker 2: most Democrat states are drawn that way right now to
- 55:34Speaker 2: favor the Democrats. Illinois is an extreme example. You've got
- 55:39Speaker 2: states that are like fifty three forty seven Democrat in
- 55:42Speaker 2: which the House districts are ninety percent Democrat districts, and
- 55:47Speaker 2: Trump has been encouraging the Republicans to fight back. In Texas,
- 55:50Speaker 2: it was struck down. I think the United States Supreme
- 55:53Speaker 2: Court is going to overturn that striking down nonetheless was
- 55:56Speaker 2: struck down. But in Indiana, the Republican controlled the state
- 56:00Speaker 2: Senate refused to withdraw the districts. Now, you may ask
- 56:06Speaker 2: yourself trying to remember. I gave a speech last week
- 56:11Speaker 2: and I made a bullet point at the end of
- 56:12Speaker 2: US something, and I can't remember if I also made
- 56:14Speaker 2: it on the podcast. Anyway, I'll make this point now
- 56:17Speaker 2: because it's going to relate I talk about. I think
- 56:20Speaker 2: I did say it on the podcast. You'll see, for example,
- 56:24Speaker 2: federal judges striking down something Trump wants to do, and
- 56:27Speaker 2: they'll say, well, two of the judges are Republican appointed judges,
- 56:30Speaker 2: and the point that I made is Republican appointed judges
- 56:33Speaker 2: are not necessarily going to rule in favor of Trump.
- 56:35Speaker 2: Some of those Republican judges are Bush appointed judges. Did
- 56:39Speaker 2: I make that point? I did? I did, and I
- 56:42Speaker 2: made it again in the speech, and I made kind
- 56:43Speaker 2: of a big deal and try to explain that the
- 56:46Speaker 2: old version of the Republican Party hates Trump, you know,
- 56:49Speaker 2: the Bush Cheney wing. They hate Trump as much as
- 56:54Speaker 2: not maybe as much, but close to as much as
- 56:56Speaker 2: the lefties do. All right, Indiana, the most powerful Republican
- 57:04Speaker 2: in Indiana up to about four or five years ago
- 57:08Speaker 2: was who and for many years Pence. Pence was the
- 57:12Speaker 2: extremely popular Republican governor of Indiana. When Trump plucked him
- 57:17Speaker 2: out in sixteen to be his vice presidential running mate,
- 57:20Speaker 2: the Pence influence remains strong. It's like, I don't want
- 57:25Speaker 2: to compare the two as being ideologically the same, but
- 57:28Speaker 2: it's not. But there's still a huge Walker influence here
- 57:30Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. Now, Walker's not overtly anti Trump, and he
- 57:33Speaker 2: hasn't done anything to obstruct Trump or try to keep
- 57:36Speaker 2: his finger in the pod in Wisconsin to be anti
- 57:39Speaker 2: Trump or anything like that. But Pence, obviously in Indiana
- 57:41Speaker 2: has and it's been described that many of the members
- 57:44Speaker 2: of some of the Republicans who voted against the remap
- 57:47Speaker 2: are very loyal to Mike Pence and therefore hate Trump.
- 57:52Speaker 2: So they're not going to redraw the districts in Indiana.
- 57:54Speaker 2: So what you have here is the Democrats are willing
- 57:57Speaker 2: to jurymander their states, but Republicans are not willing to
- 58:00Speaker 2: juryman to their own. I bring that story up because
- 58:08Speaker 2: I picked up on the following little item. The latest
- 58:11Speaker 2: Democrat to run for governor is Joel Brennan. He's the
- 58:13Speaker 2: head of the Greater Milwaukee Committee. There was a thought
- 58:16Speaker 2: that he was going to try to run as a
- 58:17Speaker 2: moderate Democrat. Well that's what he'll do if he wins
- 58:21Speaker 2: the nomination in the general election. But in order to
- 58:23Speaker 2: win the primary, he's got to put out his radical
- 58:25Speaker 2: bona fides and to give a big in everyone. One
- 58:27Speaker 2: of the comments that he made is Wisconsin should absolutely
- 58:31Speaker 2: redraw its congressional maps. Wisconsin has eight US House seats,
- 58:36Speaker 2: six are Republican. The Democrats are frosted over this because
- 58:41Speaker 2: we're a fifty to fifty state Wisconsin, but six of
- 58:43Speaker 2: the eight districts are Republican. Now why are they well,
- 58:46Speaker 2: Here's why. Let's imagine you were trying to draw a
- 58:49Speaker 2: map of the districts of Wisconsin. There are only two
- 58:54Speaker 2: pockets of this state that are predominantly well two and
- 58:58Speaker 2: an asterisk. Two pockets of the state overwhelming the Democrat
- 59:02Speaker 2: are Milwaukee County and Dane County. There is one addition,
- 59:05Speaker 2: it just doesn't have a lot of people, and that's
- 59:07Speaker 2: the area's right up bordering Lake Superior. For some reason,
- 59:11Speaker 2: it might be the Minnesota influenced their Democrat but just
- 59:15Speaker 2: the very top of the state. Otherwise, the Democrats in
- 59:21Speaker 2: Wiscon I mean, Dane County is seventy five to eighty
- 59:24Speaker 2: percent democratic, Milwaukee County is like sixty seven percent. The
- 59:27Speaker 2: whole rest of the state is predominantly Republican. It's hard
- 59:30Speaker 2: to draw a congressional district in which you're not going
- 59:32Speaker 2: to have six of the atistics being Republican because the
- 59:34Speaker 2: Democrats are all packed into two areas. How, for example,
- 59:39Speaker 2: do you draw a district in northern Wisconsin that isn't
- 59:43Speaker 2: Republican dominated. How do you draw a district, say Walkeshaw
- 59:49Speaker 2: Washington County, you know the area that's Scott Fitzgeral District.
- 59:52Speaker 2: How do you draw that district that it's not predominantly Democratic.
- 59:55Speaker 2: So that's the reason that it's six to two right now.
- 59:58Speaker 2: But Joel Brennan and the Demo Pocrats are saying they
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: want to redraw the districts to make it at least
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: four to four. You know, the way that you would
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: do that is you'd have to carve up Milwaukee and
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: carve up Madison and put them into two of the
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: other districts. I'll try to explain this. You can visualize
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Paul lives in Ozaki County bordering Washington County. You could
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: take the district that's currently Gwen Moore's district and move
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: its dividing line north to say I ninety four northward,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: and then go and grab in Ozaki County and Washington County,
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: and the pure numbers of Milwaukee County would overwhelm it,
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: and you could create a fifty two to forty eight
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: Democratic district by putting the north side of Milwaukee into
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: a good chunk of the suburbs. Then you've got the
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: district in the southeastern corner of the state representative by
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: Brian style that's currently southern Milwaukee southern Waka Shore. We're
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: Sin in Kenosha Counties and Walworth and a chunk of rock.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: You could redraw that district and Walworth out of it,
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: and move Western Racine in western Kenosha County, which are
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: very Republican, out of it, and assign it to another district,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: and now you've suddenly got a Democrat majority district. You'd
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: have to finagle around and draw really goofy lines in
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: order to do it. But Joel Brennan saying, that's what
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: we got to know. We have to do this. We
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: have to make these districts more democratic. So you have
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: at the same time, the Democrats are out no campaigning
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: on redrawing the districts. Republicans in some state refusing to
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: do it. It's simply a function of not being willing
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: to fight as hard as the other side. I have
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: a good quote on this, it's from Nate Morris. There
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: are people listening to me who know who that is.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: They either live in Kentucky or they're even bigger political
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: junkies than I am, Because I admit I never heard
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: of Nate Morris. Nate Morris is running for the United
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: States Senate. It might be the state Senate. I actually
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: don't know he's running for the Senate in the state
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: of Kentucky. Again. He might be running for the I
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: think he's running for the US Senate seat. He's running
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: for Mitch McConnell's seat, Mitch McConnell leaving the Senate. I
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: think he's one of the Republicans running in the primary
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: for that. Here's Nate Morris's quote, as posted on X
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blue slips. Let me explain.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: You know what a blue slip is. A blue slip is.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Let's imagine President Trump nominates a federal judge for say,
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: we'll say eastern Wisconsin. All you need to do to
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: stop a vote on that is one senator puts in
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: what's called a blue slip saying I want to block this,
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: and the Senate generally honors the blue slip. Well, they're
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: at drawing blue slips right and left. In the end,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: you could force a vote on these things that you
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: can get them through. But what the Democrats are trying
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: to do is run out the clock on Trump. There's
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: only three years left and they're holding up his nominees
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: all over the place. The reason Trump's been naming all
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: of these interim, the United States attorneys in interim. This
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: is because he can't get votes in the Senate because
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: you've got these blue slips being issued. So that's the
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: body's what the Republican in Kentucky is referring to. So
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: I'll go back and read the whole quote. Whether it's redistricting,
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: the filibuster, or blue slips. The biggest problem our movement faces.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: And again this guy's a Republican. The biggest problem are
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: movement faces. Now i'll finish the sentence. What's the biggest
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: problem the call it mega or conservative or America first
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: movement faces? What's the biggest problem in faces? I agree
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: with him on this. What do you think the biggest
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: problem the conservative movement broadly speaking? Faces? I think there's two,
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: but there's one that's the biggest. You want to try
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: to jump in on it, well, Pauls's he does, so
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: then I'll tell you I think the number two problem
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: and it's huge, But this one even bigger is the
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: disunity right now, you know, everybody fighting with one another
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: over power. The Marjorie Taylor Green's mad at Trump, Trump's
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: mad at her. You know, Candice Owens is mad at
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Erica Kirk. By the way, they're having a meeting. They're
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: gonna try to resolve this. There's just a lot of infighting.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: That's number two. But the bigger problem is, and I
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: agree with Nate Morris, this guy from Kentucky on this,
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: the biggest problem I may move in faces today is
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: that too many elected Republicans simply do not understand that
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: we are in a street fight for the fate of
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Western civilization. That's it. The left has gone Marxist and
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: TIFA is committing violence all over. People like Charlie Kirk
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: are killed in Lefty's chair. They tried to kill Trump twice.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Somalis are stealing money openly in Minnesota, and the Democrats
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: were providing cover because they were giving them their votes.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: So I'm going to read his quote again, whether it's redistricting,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: the filibuster, and here he's referencing, you know, the philibuster
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: is there forever. The filibuster is the thing in the
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: United States Senate says you need sixty votes in order
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: to end debate. So the Democrats just if you don't
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: have sixty votes for an issue, they can hold it
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: up forever and ever and ever. It's been used for
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: the longest time, but never to the extreme that we
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: have right now, where the Democrats and you have said,
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: simply don't want to let the Republicans vote on anything.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: They know that probably they'll be back in control of
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: the Senate in a year now after the November elections,
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: so they're trying to run off the clock. So again,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: this guy's saying, look, if they're going to jerrymander the
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: districts and Democratic states, we've got to do it in
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Republican states. They're saying, look, we got to end the
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: philibuster because they're abusing it. And then with regard to
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: the blue slips, you've got to end the blue slip
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: practice because Trump can't get his nominees through. So again,
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blueslips, the biggest problem
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: our movement faces today is that too many elected Republicans
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: simply do not understand that we are on a street
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: fight for the fate of Western civilization. They are living
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: in a fantasy world that hasn't existed in decades. This
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: isn't nineteen eighty five anymore. So spear me your bs
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: excuses about why we can't execute President Prompt's agenda in Congress.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: We absolutely can, but only if Republicans grow a spine
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: for once. The stakes here are just too high. I
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: agree with you. Back to positive news. This is something
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: that this is one of those stories that apparently well,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: I mean, this sounds a stupid way of saying it,
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: but I'll explain. You either knew about it or you didn't. Well,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: that's true of everything. But it's one of those things that, like,
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: so people know everything about it, but the vast majority
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: of people didn't know anything about it at all. It's
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: kind that's the kind of story like that the mainstream
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: media doesn't really cover. And I was not aware of it.
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: Then somebody told me about it. Now I am aware
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: of it, and now all of you who listen to
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: me will become aware of it. Take a guess where
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: I fault. You don't even know what the story is.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: Take a get well, I had to find out about
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: it somewhere. It's not like I do a lot of things,
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: so you can like limit where I would find out
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: about something. I mean, what do I even do? Put
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: your back? I could have been a Bucks game, There's that.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: What else do I do? I go to I gave
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: a speech up north. I go to Florida, I go
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: to church. What else do I do? I get a
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: fish fry. Paul, you just wiped out. I bet at horses.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: I come here, You're right, I come here. I mean
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: I got some doctor's appointments. I see like a dentist.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: I've had detal work. I mean, it's not like I
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: do nothing, but I think the number of things I
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: do is less than ten. So what do you think
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: I fought on about this doctor's office. That's wrong, But
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: that's that that could have been in. Somebody at church
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: told me. Somebody of the generation would know about those things.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: She said to me, do you know about Nicki Minaj
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: going after Gavin Newsom? A lot of times people will
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: say do you know about? And it's never anything that
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: I want to hear about. You can just you probably
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: even got never somebody tries to tell you about some
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: obscure zoning issue you know in Yeah, well, okay, she
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: said you know about Nicki Minaj and Gavin Neussom admitted
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: you'd be interested in hearing about this too, right, Yeah,
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: why I was? Nicki Minaj is a rapper and a
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: very see the whole thing that's being a rapper is
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: if you're a rapper, you have to do everything you
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: can to be get draw attention to yourself. Right, Well
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: that's from the beginning. Rappers have never relied simply on
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: their music as being sufficient to draw tention to themselves
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: their entire lives. That, well, she's one of them. So
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: I just I'm just you would just assume she'd be
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: another left wing flacoh weirdo psychotic nut, right, yes, yes,
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: I mean you do you know more about this than
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: I did? Then see you a huge story. But that's
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: my point. It's a huge story if you know about it,
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: but if you don't know about it, and I was
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: not okay anyway. The first part of the story is
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: several weeks ago, after Pope Leo drew attention to the
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: fate of Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria, Nicki Minaj smoke out.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: I think she retweeted or reposted on X the Pope's
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: comment there's a new one now. And this is the
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: thing that I didn't know. Nicki Minaj is going after
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome, the governor of California. First of all, I
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: can tell by her comments she's very smart, because her
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: rips on him are pretty hilarious. Gavin Newsom, as you
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: probably know, governor of California. He's going to run for president,
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: and this is the trick that all Democrats have. Is
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: to get the Democratic nomination, he has to move to
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: the left because the majority of the party's voters are
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Wackle Marxist lunatics. But to win the general election, he
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: has to try to reposition himself to the center. But
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Newsom is better at that than most. I mean, he's
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: full of crap and the stateium runs as a disaster,
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: but I admit he's one of the few. He's not
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: a Kamala who can't put two sentences together. He's like
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: the opposite. He's way too smooth. He's just a BS artist.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: He's like in a different way. Clinton. Clinton was as
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: smooth as could be. You know, he was the awe
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: shocks with you know, the manure on his feet kind
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: of thing. And Newsom's a different kind of smooth. He's
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: a California that's what he is. I mean, I used
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: to think everything in California was like that, But think
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Kamala Cameroon and she would be She's in California. But
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: she would be like the opposite of smooth. So I'm
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: gonna quote from a story. So after I was tipped
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: off about this, I did a Google search and I
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: found some of the pieces that were out there, including
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: some comment this is newsome. Now he was on the
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: Ezra Klein Show Wednesday of last week, five days and
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: again I'm doing the podcast on Monday. This is what
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: he said, this is newsome. I want to see trans kids.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: He's actering, he wants to see more trans kids. I
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: don't know that I've ever heard a Democrat actually say
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: we need more of them. I've heard some of them
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: say we need to support the ones that are. I
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: want to see trans kids. There's no governor that's done
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: more pro trans legislation than I have. No one has
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: been a stronger advocate for the LGBT community. So Nicki
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Minaj hears about this and share retorts. Imagine being the
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha, Not
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: even a trans adult would run on. That's a good shot.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: Nicky Vanas says, even a trans grown up would not
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: say I want to see more trans kids, or at
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: least you would not use that as your platform. I
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: want to see more trans kids. I want to slice
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: off more bobs. I want to jam hormones on every
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: kid walking down the street. So anyway, Nicki Minaj, not
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: even a trans adult would run on that. Normal adults
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: wake up and think they want to see heal health.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: I said, let me see it again. Normal adults wake
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: up and think they want to see healthy, safe, happy kids,
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: not gay. The gav Knots gave out send in the
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: next guy, I'm bored. See you know that's a rapper
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: kind of thing. I'm bored. That means she's dismissive of him.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: Knwsom then responded, and there was a back and forth
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: and so on a no quote. The back and forth
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: between minajah Newsom came after Elon Musk's America Pack posted
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: a video of nuisance trans comments. So this comment that
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: news made on the Ezra Klein Show what he wanted
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: to see more trans kids. Elon Musk then reposted it
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: and got it out there, and that's probably how it
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: got onto the radar screen of Nicki Minaj And I mean,
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: I know that's what happens with a lot of things.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: I'll see on x formerly known as Twitter, in which
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: you know something will come across your screen that it
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: becomes an interesting thing. And my guess is that that's
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: where she founded because of the other places that she's
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: been going to. On X one commenter responded, We're sorry
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: your daughter hates you, Elon. Elon Musk in fact has
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: a daughter of this trans and it's the thing that
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: he said turned them against the trans movement. He saw
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: how people took advantage of mixed up kids and got
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: them to essentially ruin their lives. Musk responded, I assume
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: you're referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: push on vulnerable children. I love Xavier very much and
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: hope he recovers. Continued to take aim at Newsom on
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: X calling him this is nicky Minaj. Again. I could
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: tell already that I like her. Called Newsom the cute
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: boy who got everything handed to him because of how
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: cute and how sexy and how hot and smoking he
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: was sitting there in that suit with the sneakers on.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: He thinks he's Tom Cruise. Only the difference is his
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: next mission is impossible. So I mean that's this is
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: wearing this suit and then he's got sneakers. You just
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: see that. You could just tell it's a pose, right,
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: I just try to be cool. So, I mean, so
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: you've got no Nicki Minaj who's got a massive she's
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: would you call her a rapper or hip hop? The
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: person who was telling me about this the trip, she's
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: young and she's used the term rap describing her. I
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: don't I couldn't tell you a Nicki Minaj song. I
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: know all the Rihanna stuff, but Nicki Minaj is too
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: out there for me. But anyway, Newsom was considered to
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: be a likely twenty twenty eight Democratic presidential nominee candidate.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: In additional post, Minage suggested that his pursuit of the
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: presidency to already be doing. Here's more Nicki Minaj. Oh,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Gaby pooh, it only gets worse from here on for you, buddy.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: It's the end of the road for you, my love.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: So Nicki Minaj is apparently now on our side. I mean, seriously,
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: who would have thought. I mean, for a while, you
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: kind of had uh not jay Z the other one
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: who's the one that have Kanye. You sort of had Kanye,
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: but he might be in a rubber room right now.
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: Then Kanye went off and started to go all anti
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Semitic and doesn't seem to be embraced by much of
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: anybody anymore. But Nicki Minaj is still out there in
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: very big deal. Well, let she ask, she's got another
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: shot here, get in the nearest jet ski and let
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: the beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: you happier than this race that you will not win.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: Enjoy life peace. That was Friday Saturday. She goes back
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: and starts the posting, so he's under her skin. Though,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: by the way, I did check Nicki Minaj's followers and
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: exit like however, many billion people on the planet, I
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: think she has seven times more followers than that. But
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I need to start following her then
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: I can repost her stuff. Well probably should. I did
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: post this story on my account on x over the weekend.
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: Minage has aligned herself with Trump administration officials and policies
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: in recent weeks. You wonder what happened several weeks ago
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: that got this light public go. My guess is that
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: I've made this comment a number of times, and I
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: could speak from my own experience. You know, forty five
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: years ago when I moved from the left to the right.
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: It's usually one thing that you change your mind on.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: I know, but my point is that's why I'm gonna
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: get with this. Change your mind on one thing. But
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: once you said now your mind is opening, your question, well,
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong about this, and the next thing and
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: the next thing. And when you just rejected anybody, all
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: the right Republicans are not all this right. I'm not
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: part of that. I'm not part of that. When you
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: break ranks on one thing. You've seen this with Bill Maher.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: He still very liberal, but he's broken ranks now on
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: quite a few of the doctrinaire positions from the left.
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: Once your mind is opened, you started thinking about things.
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: And my guess is for religious reasons, she started focusing
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: on the atrocity going on in Africa, the atrocity, the
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: genocide that nobody ever talks about it, which they're just
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: there's a massive Christian movement, Catholic, Lutheran, other Christian religions
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: in Africa, and the Muslims in Africa hate it and
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: they're trying to kill them all. And my guess is
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: that Nicki Minaj, for religious reasons, has been aware of
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: this issue. The fact that these are Africans people of
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: color probably made it of some interest to her, and
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: she got on that And now that one issue has
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: opened her mind and triggered her thoughts in any number
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: of other areas. In November, Minaj posted a screenshot of
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: a Trump True social post in which he said Christianity
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. She wrote, reading
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: live in a country where we can freely worship God.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: We don't have to share the same beliefs in order
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: for us to respect each other. Numerous countries all around
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: the world are being affected by this horror, and it's
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: dangerous to pretend that we don't notice. She thanked the
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: president and his team for taking this seriously. God bless
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: every persecuted Christian. Let's remember to lift them up in prayer.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: So we have Nicki Minaj on our side. I mean,
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: if you would have asked me to name one hundred
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: and forty million Americans who I thought might come over
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: to our side, I don't know that she would have
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: cracked the list of one hundred and forty. I mean,
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: there are some white rappers that that's been their thing forever,
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: is that they're simply white conservatives who rap and do
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: their stuff. But she's she's one of those that was
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: a superstar long before there was any political comment MATERII
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: out there or not. And one final there's a show
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: I've mentioned. I think everybody relates to this, all the
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: stuff that's out there on streaming, that somebody will tell
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: you how to watch this, that it's pretty good. The
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: problem is always that nobody ever tells you, Like on
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: episode two of season one, they'll tell you about something
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: and then you find out we're in season four and
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: there's like thirty nine episodes before that, and almost all
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: of them are you know, back in the sixties, seventies
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: and eighties, TV shows are self contained. Like if you
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: watch say Bonanza, you didn't have to watch the Sunday
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: before you watch the reruns. Now there's never a continuing
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: story from week to week. But most of those shows
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: that are on streaming and so on, you know, or
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: I think like the Sopranos and shows like that, sounded
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: for what happened in one week. You can't watch the
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Sopranos and come in like an episode thirty nine. You
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: have to see it from the beginning. And I'm sure
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: Breaking Bad, which I still haven't seen, is one of them.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: Keep hearing about these shows, and then it's been around
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: for a while. Have you heard about Landman? Heard about it,
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: but you've not seen it. You've heard it's really good.
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: See now I've heard the same thing. It's got Sam
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: Elliot's on it, I think. Yeah, Billy Bob Thornton is
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: in it. Everything Billy Bob Thornton has ever been in
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: has been good, largely because he's He's one of the
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: greater actors of all time, don't you think. But part
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: of it, the part of it is every character he
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: ever plays, it seems to be it's got like a
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: dangerous evilness. He plays evil in a normal way, if
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He is clearly psychotic and
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: craze than every one of these characters, but he acts
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: in a non psychotic and craze fashion. Anyway, Billy Bob
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: Thornton is in it. Sam Elliott, who's has the deepest
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: voice in the history of voices, He's in there, and
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: so on. Anyway, for the most recent episode of the
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: one that I guess just dropped or just landed a landmark.
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: The characters are talking about something and I want to
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: quote here from it is in the fifth episode of
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: the second season. Okay, it's in the second season. That's
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: still time for me to go back and try to
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: catch up and start screaming on. It features a conversation
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: between Tommy Norris played by Billy Bob Thornton and his
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: father t L played by Sam Elliott. As they talk,
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: Tommy suggested to his father they be watched the view
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: to pass the time. T L that asks Tommy what
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: the view is? Now, Tommy, that's the Billy Bob Thornton character.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: He now tells Sam Elliott what the view is. Here's
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: the quote. This should have been my quote of the day.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: Well we had. We can have two quotes of the day,
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: can't we. This is the Billy Bob Thornton character in
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: Is it landman or land man? I wouldn't. I don't
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: even know, really man, you would pronounce it and not landman?
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: Is it about? What is it? If something that's land
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: in real estate or ranching or I don't know anything
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: about it. I just know people have said it's good.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: You don't really know either. You're trying to look it
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: up and find out it is on Paramount Plus by
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: the way, which is it's in Texas. It's probably I
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: don't know, maybe it's something billionaire is making money off
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: of boil so maybe an update of that Hold Dallas thing. Anyway,
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: it's on Paramount Plus. So now here's Billy Bob Thornton's
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: character telling Sam Elliott what the view is. How would
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: you tell somebody? What if somebody asked you what the
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: view is? What would you say? A bunch of old
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: hag liberal has been what else? Making fun of Trump? Well,
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: here's Philly Bob Thornton is pretty close to you. A
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: bunch of pissed off millionaires bitching about how much they
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: hate millionaires and Trump and men and you and me
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: and everybody else they got there be up their asses about.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. I mean, any show that's out there
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: that's like making fun of the view is something I
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: gotta get under my radar, all right, because I'm only
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: it's it's in the second season. That's easier for me
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: to go than going back and starting the whole breaking
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: bad And then if I watch the breaking bad. I'm
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: gonna have to go do the better calls calls Saul.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: I just Pulse's breakings Bad's better than the better call Sault. Well,
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: I'll just do that. I'll just do Land. Where does
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: Yellowstone coming on this? Well? Okay, which Dwight do first? See?
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: I'm thinking I can start on Land man and catch
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: up and catch up faster than the others and then
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: move on to the next thing. Well, I want to
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: see the lad Yeah, breaking bad. They aren't making fun
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: of the old bag. The battle axes on the view
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: and in this show, it is time to take a break.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: On the Markedelling podcast, this is the Markedelling podcast. Is
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: it is just it's hard to overstate how terrible the
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: Packers situation is. Micah Parsons blew out his ACL. What
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: appeared to be a spectacular trade is now a nightmare
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: for the Packers. The ACL is the major ligament in
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: the knee. Best case scenario, he might be back for
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: the beginning of nine season. In the next season, the
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: recovery time on an ACL is usually nine to twelve months.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: I'm of the opinion that if you don't do fifteen months,
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: depending on the sport, that you're in, you're screwed. Fifteen
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: months would mean he would be out through all of
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: next season, but most players try to come back in nine.
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: The problem is it's the ligament that essentially holds your
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: knee up. There's a couple of other its interior cruciate ligament.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: There's a couple of other ligaments in there that aren't
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: as critical as the ACL. The way he himself a
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: non contact injury indicates it just probably went. And they
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: say that usually when they just probably went, that there'd
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: been a problem that was developing and finally it went
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: off on you. The problem, of course, with everything pertaining
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: to this is that the Packers gave up so much
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: for him. The Packers have no number one draft pick
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: next year or the following year, and prior to the
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: moment at which he injured himself, it was a spectacularly
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: good trade. You make a trade like this to try
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl. And the way he was
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: playing just reminded me of how Reggie White. It took
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: several years after Reggie was getting here became the piece
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: of the puzzle on defense that helped the Packers win
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Micah Parsons was playing at a level that,
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: combined with the Packers offense, was making the Packers a
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: legitimate Super Bowl contender. And that's why you make a
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: trade like this. He's had a great four years prior
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: to come into Green Bay and was having a spectacular season,
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: and now he's not only gone for this season, who
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: knows about next season and beyond that. It is a
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: terrible injury to recover from, depending on your position, Many players,
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: particularly in football basketball as well, who have acls either
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: don't make it back or come back totally compromise. The
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: famous Packer case of David Bachtiari, who never made it back.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: He just play and then it went on them and
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: you couldn't get it together. In basketball, there's the Jabari
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: Parker situation. What will often happen players who come back
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: too soon, They favor the leg and they blow out
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: the other ACL. And from the perspective of Parsons, his
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: great strength was he was so strong and fast. The
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: same day this happened, Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City went
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: down with an ACL. Earlier this season, Tucker Kraft, the
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: Packer tight end, went out with an ACL. The Packers
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: have on their team this year, probably two guys who
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: were going to be first team All Pro Craft and Parsons,
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: and they both went out with acls. Of the three
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: players on the team, I think the three most important
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: Packers prior to these two injuries were love Craft and Parsons.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: Now two of the three are gone. The ACL injury
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: is becoming more and more common. Football injuries are very,
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: very common, but this one in particular, almost the death
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: penalty more than ever. Now. I'm not a doctor in
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: all of this, but I have my theories. I think
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: that the problem with so, you know, I go back
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: to watching football in the sixties, seventies, in the eighties,
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: you never heard about acls. You didn't hear about knee injuries,
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: and sometimes they didn't even know what it was. Like
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: Dick Bucket said terrible knees, and Gail Sayers had terrible
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: knees and so. But I just think that the thing
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: right now is you have athletes that are so fast
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: and so big and so strong. You have these incredible
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: muscles and their things so fast, and the way work
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: the players have done and the training they have done,
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: they've bulked up and these are such strong muscles and
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: such speed, But you still have the same kind of
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: bones and the same kind of ligaments. The other injury
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: that's terrible is the Achilles tendon injury, where you know,
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: just the pounding that you're taking on the body. So
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: I don't know if it's an indictment on sports, but
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: you know, you're back in the steroid era when you
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: saw so many players during training camp dropping over of
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: heart attacks and dying. Well, the steroids were giving them
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: the ability to exercise at and they just didn't get tired.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: They could work and work and work and work. But
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: they say it got the same hearts and lungs that
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: everybody had before, and they were overtaxing their bodies. And
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: I just think that if you go through the history
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: of acl injuries, it tends to be the greater the athlete,
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: the more likely they are to get them. And I
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: think it's because they're the ones that have the incredible muscles,
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: they're the fast ones. You know, state when we make
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: in horse racing all the time is the slow horses
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: never get it's the fast ones that do. Part of
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: that is the fast ones are running fastest, the pounding
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: harder on the ground, And so what if you're out
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: there just jogging around, You're not gonna get hurt. The
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: non contact is always the worst one because it means
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: you could understand somebody gets banged on something, something gets broke,
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: or something. A non contact means it was just ready
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: to go. And there's nothing good about this. People talk
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: about whether or not the Packers. I don't know how
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: you could possibly be a Super Bowl contender and lose
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: two players of this caliber. Now, everybody gets injuries, but
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: these are massive losses. And the way they had structured
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: the whole defense all year was to take advantage of
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: the fact that Parsons was always being double teamed. And
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: from Parsons perspective, the NFL is a little different in
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: terms of contracts than the other sports leagues. But he
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: still will get most of his money. He had that
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: big signing bonus when he cut his new deal with
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Green Bay what he got here, but his career is
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: now at least at the standard that he played in
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: was Jeff pretty and for the Packers, it's just it's crushing,
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: you know, the whole game with Denver is I said
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: last week, I don't I think the Packers probably aren't
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: going to win. The bigger game is Chicago coming through.
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: You just hope nobody gets hurt, and somebody got hurt,
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: and other than love of all the guys, you didn't
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: want to get hurt. It's Micah Parsons. But that's what
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: football is. And from Kansas City's perspective, at least the
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: Chiefs fans could say, we won all of our Super
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: Bowls with Mahomes and it was the very game in
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: which they were eliminated and knocked out. It was at
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: the end of the game that Mahomes got the ACL
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: and so on. Yeah, I just it's just a bummer
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: all concern for Packer fans, and as I say, the
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: fact that they gave up so much. It's the reason
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: why you in football are so leary of making a
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: deal in which, in the case of the Packers, they
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: gave up three players. They gave up the defensive lineman,
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: defensive lineman, they get Kenny Clark and two number one picks.
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: You presume a number one pick is going to be
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: a starter. They gave up all of that to get
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: Parsons right now, and they're going to have no nothing
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: to show for it. That's what football is, and it's
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: the great frustration, of course for sports fans, especially football.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: Injuries can happen in all sports, but especially football to
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: a growing extent. Basketball and these two injuries, two injuries
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: in particular, the Achilles and the acl they're the killers,
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: and they're more and more common. All Right, that's a
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: sour not to end the show on, isn't it? If
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: you have anything good that we can say is to
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: override all of that. No, I'm that upbeat. Note, we'll
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: wrap it up for today's program. I had an idea
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: for something that I wanted to do, but I couldn't
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: figure out a way to do it. I'm if it's
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: becoming more and more rebellious against Christmas starting way too soon.
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: But even I after acknowledge, really like a week a
