0:25
Speaker 2: I'm going to start today and it's going to sound
0:28
Speaker 2: like I'm engaging in hyperbole. As long as I'm going
0:32
Speaker 2: to use an eighteen dollars word, I guess I'm going
0:34
Speaker 2: to explain it. Hyperbole. It just plagues talk shows, podcasts,
0:41
Speaker 2: pundits on both the left and the right. Hyperbole is
0:47
Speaker 2: a gussied up way of saying, making use it, describing
0:52
Speaker 2: something as big, bigger than it actually is. Well, you're
0:56
Speaker 2: being hyperbolic, that you're engaging in hyperbole. This is the
1:00
Speaker 2: worst thing that's ever happened. This is the greatest play
1:02
Speaker 2: of all time. It's going to sound like I'm doing that,
1:07
Speaker 2: and I will grant you. It is common for people
1:13
Speaker 2: who do what I do podcasting, do what I used
1:15
Speaker 2: to do radio talk show hosting, people who blog, people
1:20
Speaker 2: who march out on the streets, people who pretty much
1:23
Speaker 2: advocate on anything, to overstate and make a bigger deal
1:30
Speaker 2: out of something that it really is. I've tried not
1:34
Speaker 2: to do that I've tried not to be one of
1:37
Speaker 2: these talk show hosts that figures out what the audience
1:41
Speaker 2: wants to hear overreacts to something to get everybody riled up,
1:45
Speaker 2: and then just go hit and run and move out
1:47
Speaker 2: of the next thing. I think it's one of the
1:51
Speaker 2: reasons that I've lasted as long as I have. Anyway,
1:55
Speaker 2: this is important. It's a big deal, and it's going
1:59
Speaker 2: to sound like I'm overstating the case, and I'm just
2:01
Speaker 2: telling you I'm not. Wisconsin right now is facing its
2:10
Speaker 2: greatest threat in my lifetime. Now, that counts for more
2:16
Speaker 2: than if some gen z says this. Given the fact
2:19
Speaker 2: that my lifetime is seventeen times longer and covers a
2:22
Speaker 2: lot more territory than theirs. You can do the math
2:26
Speaker 2: as to how far back I go. And I'm even
2:29
Speaker 2: going to count the first few years of my life
2:30
Speaker 2: that I don't remember because I know the threat is
2:33
Speaker 2: greater than anything that was face said. Again, this just
2:38
Speaker 2: sounds again like hyperbole. You know, every time we have
2:42
Speaker 2: a president's election, this is the most important election of
2:45
Speaker 2: all time. I do think the last one was. Nonetheless,
2:49
Speaker 2: people say it every time, and they're going to say
2:51
Speaker 2: it again. The next time. This is the most important
2:53
Speaker 2: governor's election of all time, This is the most important this,
2:58
Speaker 2: this will be the worst thing that ever happened. You know,
3:02
Speaker 2: you get the crying wolf syndrome out there, and people
3:05
Speaker 2: who listen to shows like mine are accustomed to hearing
3:07
Speaker 2: everybody overreacting panic to all sorts of things, as opposed
3:11
Speaker 2: to simply criticize something, say that it's very bad, or
3:14
Speaker 2: say that it's very good, but put in the context
3:16
Speaker 2: that it's not the most important or biggest thing of
3:19
Speaker 2: all time. This is, and we'll get to it in
3:22
Speaker 2: a moment. When it comes to shipping packaging, industrial supplies,
3:27
Speaker 2: and equipment, many suppliers offer end lissiles of product. You
3:31
Speaker 2: line knows what you can't do with end lisiles of product.
3:34
Speaker 2: That's the quality of each product. Ensure everything is in
3:36
Speaker 2: stock and ready to ship the same day, and have
3:38
Speaker 2: a team available twenty four to seven to answer your
3:41
Speaker 2: product questions. You line only carries supplies and equipment they
3:45
Speaker 2: have tested, pride and often used in their own business experience.
3:49
Speaker 2: The you Line difference today visit you line dot com.
4:00
Speaker 2: Perfect storm another term that's used all the time. I
4:03
Speaker 2: like the term you can often use it accurately when
4:09
Speaker 2: you've got several different events all occurring at the same
4:12
Speaker 2: time that result in a far greater impact than if
4:16
Speaker 2: any of them had occurred individually. Wisconsin is confronting a
4:23
Speaker 2: Marxist being elected governor, radicals taking over both chambers of
4:29
Speaker 2: the state Legislature, the Senate of the Assembly, and the
4:33
Speaker 2: state Supreme Court striking down Act ten. All of those
4:38
Speaker 2: things could happen within the next several months. Individually, every
4:45
Speaker 2: one of them would be a bad thing, but cumulatively
4:48
Speaker 2: they're worse. There's like a multiplier effect here. In other words,
4:52
Speaker 2: if you do one thing, but you know the second thing,
4:55
Speaker 2: it's more than two times worse, and if the third
4:57
Speaker 2: thing happens, if all three happens, it's more than three
4:59
Speaker 2: times for worse than the first one, because you end
5:03
Speaker 2: up with no check on anything. Acten is the law
5:08
Speaker 2: that we have in place that does place at least
5:10
Speaker 2: some limits on how much government can spend. We still
5:18
Speaker 2: have high spending in the state of Wisconsin. One can't
5:20
Speaker 2: even imagine what it have been had we do if
5:23
Speaker 2: we not had these spending limits that are in place
5:25
Speaker 2: that can only be overcome by referendum. It also required
5:30
Speaker 2: public employees to begin finally start kicking in for their
5:33
Speaker 2: lavish benefits, benefits they still have anyway that for the
5:41
Speaker 2: last eight years we've had a garden variety typical liberal
5:45
Speaker 2: Democrat with the staff of Madison lefties, but there's been
5:48
Speaker 2: a check on him in that both chambers of the
5:51
Speaker 2: state legislature were controlled by Republicans. The new maps are
5:56
Speaker 2: in effect a lot of these legislative district races are close.
6:00
Speaker 2: The Republican majority in the Senate and Assembly going into
6:03
Speaker 2: the election is very, very tiny, and everyone expects this
6:06
Speaker 2: to be a big Democrat national year. It usually is
6:09
Speaker 2: in the off year the party in power and the
6:12
Speaker 2: presidency usually loses big time. They could lose the legislature
6:15
Speaker 2: and then the governor's raise. For the first time ever ever,
6:23
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Democrats are poised to nominate an avowed socialist. I
6:34
Speaker 2: contend she's a Marxist. Every position that she has, in
6:38
Speaker 2: every position that her organization that she's a member of,
6:40
Speaker 2: the Democratic Socialists of America is identical to the positions
6:44
Speaker 2: of the Communist Party. So you will have a radicalized
6:52
Speaker 2: Marxist governor with her own political party in power in
6:58
Speaker 2: the legislature, meaning she could do everything she wants. A
7:03
Speaker 2: state supreme court that could knock down the current laws
7:06
Speaker 2: that put in place any constraints on spending. The implications
7:13
Speaker 2: of this are severe. Let's start with the Han governorship.
7:26
Speaker 2: I can go in a number of different areas. I'm
7:28
Speaker 2: going to start with crime. She has said she wants
7:33
Speaker 2: no prisons, but she admits that's down the road. But
7:36
Speaker 2: she's also said she wants to cut the prison population
7:39
Speaker 2: in half right now. That means half the crooks get
7:44
Speaker 2: out of jail. As it is, people like me are
7:48
Speaker 2: constantly carping that people don't get long enough sentences and
7:51
Speaker 2: they don't go to prison for things for which they
7:53
Speaker 2: ought to go to prison. Here's how she'll do it. Immediately,
8:00
Speaker 2: shall pardon everybody. She'll just start pardoning people right and left.
8:03
Speaker 2: The governor Wisconsin has absolute pardon powers. Secondly, she will,
8:10
Speaker 2: as governor, control the agency that reviews probation. Individuals who
8:17
Speaker 2: commit crimes while on probation will simply not be revoked.
8:22
Speaker 2: And she controls the Department of Corrections, which decides when
8:26
Speaker 2: an individual can be put on early release. They're still
8:29
Speaker 2: serving their time, but they stop serving their time inside
8:32
Speaker 2: of jail, they serve their time by being overseen by
8:36
Speaker 2: some sort of probation agent. Those three things will all happen.
8:42
Speaker 2: Now I'm already sensing, even though I don't see any
8:45
Speaker 2: of you, hear someone say, Oh, that won't happen, that
8:49
Speaker 2: won't happen, that won't happen. I intend, by the time
8:51
Speaker 2: this podcast is over, to purge you of this naive
8:55
Speaker 2: notion that that won't happen, that won't happen, that won't happen.
8:58
Speaker 2: I've been hearing from moderates as long as I've been
9:02
Speaker 2: commenting on public affairs that won't happen, that won't happen,
9:04
Speaker 2: that won't happened. With regard to things that lefties say
9:06
Speaker 2: that they're going to do, and they always happen. The
9:10
Speaker 2: danger now is is that the lefties are not the
9:12
Speaker 2: lefties that we've had in the past. The lefties are
9:14
Speaker 2: now Marxist. I'll give you an example. Brendan Johnson. He's
9:27
Speaker 2: the mayor of Chicago. Chicago has had just a remarkable
9:33
Speaker 2: trajectory in its mayors. Everyone is worse than the one before.
9:37
Speaker 2: It's remarkable how that's happened. There's never a blip where
9:41
Speaker 2: it corrects in the opposite direction. The best one that
9:46
Speaker 2: they probably have had in recent memory was Richie Daily,
9:49
Speaker 2: the Younger Daily. It was not very good, but my goodness, gracious,
9:56
Speaker 2: this is Winston Churchill. Compared to what they've had since,
9:59
Speaker 2: they just keep getting worse. They had Lori Lightfoot in there,
10:02
Speaker 2: who became a national laughing stock because she had very,
10:05
Speaker 2: very leftist political views. And I also think because she
10:08
Speaker 2: looked weird. She looked like a human version of et.
10:15
Speaker 2: But the guy that's replaced her makes Lori Lightfoot look
10:20
Speaker 2: like the Democrat version of Bill Clinton. Crime which is
10:27
Speaker 2: bad under Lightfoot has exploded. Under Johnson, police don't do
10:32
Speaker 2: anything down there. They can't pursue Illinois as a state.
10:39
Speaker 2: Johnson's only partly responsible for this, has eliminated cash bails,
10:43
Speaker 2: so people that are arrested are immediately released. It takes
10:47
Speaker 2: forever for cases to go to trial. Johnson, every time
10:51
Speaker 2: violence occurs in Chicago, and it is occurring in the
10:54
Speaker 2: best neighborhoods now not just the worst ones, continues to
11:00
Speaker 2: say that there's no problem here. The Chicago police are
11:05
Speaker 2: a laughing stock. Chicago was dying in front of us,
11:13
Speaker 2: and we're in the early stages of his mayoralty. Tell
11:20
Speaker 2: me the difference between the policies of Brendon Johnson and
11:22
Speaker 2: Francesca hog I'm telling you they don't disagree on anything.
11:29
Speaker 2: He's a radical, she's a radical. It's bad enough that
11:38
Speaker 2: you already have communities like Milwaukee and Madison that are
11:41
Speaker 2: very liberal in their approach to criminal justice. But when
11:46
Speaker 2: she starts letting people out of prison, starts commuting sentences,
11:52
Speaker 2: when her Corrections department starts putting people out on early release,
11:55
Speaker 2: that's going to affect all seventy two counties in the state. Furthermore,
12:00
Speaker 2: the governor appoints every judge in the state when there's
12:03
Speaker 2: a vacancy. The only time the people elect is every
12:09
Speaker 2: six years, but even then, most judges run unopposed for reelection.
12:15
Speaker 2: Sometimes a judge serves out their term and doesn't run
12:18
Speaker 2: for reelection, but many times a judge resigns in the
12:21
Speaker 2: middle of their term, the governor appoints, and the governor
12:26
Speaker 2: will be appointing in all seventy two counties. Tony Evers
12:29
Speaker 2: has put some really crappy judges on the bench. I mean,
12:32
Speaker 2: some of the worst judges in Milwaukee County are Tony
12:35
Speaker 2: Evers appointees. But Tony Evers's views on crime or that
12:40
Speaker 2: of the typical adult, soft on crime, lefty democrat. Francesca
12:44
Speaker 2: Han doesn't believe in prisons. Can you imagine what she's
12:48
Speaker 2: going to put on the bench. Every radical, unhinged feminist
12:53
Speaker 2: lawyer is going to become a judge in the state.
13:07
Speaker 2: We have a big state surplus, she said. She wants
13:10
Speaker 2: to spend it all and then raise taxes besides health
13:15
Speaker 2: care and education. Health care and education, health care and education,
13:18
Speaker 2: and that education is only public education. Because these thriving
13:22
Speaker 2: private schools that we have over the state that benefit
13:25
Speaker 2: from school choice, particularly but not limited to southeastern Wisconsin,
13:28
Speaker 2: will all be closed because she wants to get rid
13:31
Speaker 2: of school choice. So all the kids in Milwaukee and
13:35
Speaker 2: Racing and Kenosha that are thriving despite the dysfunction from
13:44
Speaker 2: many of the neighborhoods that they come from, thriving because
13:46
Speaker 2: they're going to great schools. Their schools are going to
13:50
Speaker 2: be done. Saint Augie Prep, the two schools that opened
14:00
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee thanks to Gus Ramirez's family, big giant schools,
14:06
Speaker 2: they'll be empty. None of these kids can afford the
14:09
Speaker 2: tuition necessary to attend a private school. School choice will
14:12
Speaker 2: kill the ball. So now all the kids are going
14:14
Speaker 2: to be going to crappy schools. There's salvation for none
14:18
Speaker 2: of them. I've only hit two issues here. Now the well,
14:26
Speaker 2: they won't do that. Yeah. Before, let's say, before Lightfoot
14:32
Speaker 2: came in. And as I say, the progression of Mayor's
14:33
Speaker 2: in Chicago just keeps getting worse. Remember I go down
14:38
Speaker 2: to Chicago. They call it the Viagra Triangle because it
14:42
Speaker 2: was all you know, that's where old guys chase young women,
14:44
Speaker 2: but in fact it's where actually everybody goes conventioners. The
14:47
Speaker 2: people should call all the bars that out on the
14:49
Speaker 2: steakhouses are down there. That's the hull of the internet.
14:51
Speaker 2: It was just as vibrant as a downtown could be daytime.
14:55
Speaker 2: Two blocks over you at Michigan Avenue of the Magnificent Mile,
14:58
Speaker 2: every major kind of every major shopping chain had their stores,
15:02
Speaker 2: their high end stuff. The streets are wide. It was
15:05
Speaker 2: beautiful and Christmas and you say, you know, the LEFTIWS
15:09
Speaker 2: get in charge, there's gonna be mobs out here attacking
15:12
Speaker 2: and robbing people and just beating people up broad daylight.
15:15
Speaker 2: They're going to go into the entertainment district and I
15:17
Speaker 2: beat the hell out of people, and the cops are
15:19
Speaker 2: going to stand there and scratch their asses. Oh that
15:21
Speaker 2: won't happen. Yeah, that won't happen. Don't tell me it
15:27
Speaker 2: won't happen. It will happen. This is what these people
15:34
Speaker 2: believe in. Why hasn't happened before? Well, we have a
15:44
Speaker 2: gatekeeper process in our society. It's another gussied up word.
15:49
Speaker 2: I've explained it in the past, back when I was
15:52
Speaker 2: a major in massive. Do you go to college? I
15:54
Speaker 2: don't know anything about Jessy. Oh, that's you all. He
15:57
Speaker 2: went to Northwestern. I was thinking you were going to
16:00
Speaker 2: tell me you went to like some school of broadcasting
16:03
Speaker 2: or something or another. You didn't go to that McGill
16:05
Speaker 2: journalism thing. Your degree is in political science. Northwestern. That's
16:13
Speaker 2: an easy school to make fun of. For one thing.
16:16
Speaker 2: The one thing I'll say with people from Northwestern is
16:18
Speaker 2: they're not is insufferable about being from Northwestern. It's the
16:22
Speaker 2: other high academic you know. I'm a great admirer of
16:27
Speaker 2: Notre Dame University. The biggest problem with Notre Dame University
16:30
Speaker 2: is every damn person who's ever gone to it, and
16:32
Speaker 2: how insufferable they are. I've used the joke a million
16:38
Speaker 2: times about a million schools. How do you know if
16:39
Speaker 2: somebody went to Notre Dame. Wait five seconds, they'll tell
16:42
Speaker 2: you it works for Marquette too, which is just that
16:45
Speaker 2: to me, almost inexplicable, that Marquette is some sort of
16:49
Speaker 2: a status symbol. I countered with Lacrosse, and I think
16:52
Speaker 2: I trumped the Marquette people. Anyway. So you went to Northwestern?
17:03
Speaker 2: You know you do you agree with me that Northwestern
17:05
Speaker 2: needs to leave the Big ten? No, you don't. I
17:08
Speaker 2: mean I just think now, especially Nil might help him
17:13
Speaker 2: because they it's well, it's a smaller school. There's a
17:15
Speaker 2: lot of rich alumni that went there, like Julia Leuis
17:18
Speaker 2: Dreyfus can kick in, She can kick in thirty million.
17:21
Speaker 2: Didn't she have a kid playing on one of the
17:22
Speaker 2: Northwestern team it was a scrub? Well yeah, well, I
17:26
Speaker 2: mean that's they should have used that as the opportunity
17:29
Speaker 2: to get her. And she said that same husband, the
17:31
Speaker 2: guy that's I know why she married, he was met
17:33
Speaker 2: She met him on Saturday Night Live. Forget forget his name.
17:37
Speaker 2: I know why she kept her because she wants to
17:39
Speaker 2: be the funniest one in the family, so she had
17:41
Speaker 2: is it Brad Hall? Is that her husband? Yeah, I
17:45
Speaker 2: mean he's m mildly funny. She's the funniest female maybe
17:48
Speaker 2: in the history of the world. And anyway, I digress
17:51
Speaker 2: on top of an aggression, on top of an aggression gaykeep.
17:57
Speaker 2: When I was a major in mass communications, you know,
18:00
Speaker 2: introduction to mass communications, they explained the gatekeepers, by the way,
18:04
Speaker 2: there are no gatekeepers in the media anymore. The gatekeepers
18:07
Speaker 2: were those that controlled the gate between information existing and
18:15
Speaker 2: being reported. Let's imagine something. You know, this is before
18:20
Speaker 2: the Internet, before you know, social media, any of those things,
18:24
Speaker 2: before streaming, something happens. In order force people other than
18:31
Speaker 2: those who saw it happen to find out about it,
18:34
Speaker 2: somebody in the media has to report it, and that's
18:36
Speaker 2: where the gatekeepers come in. There may be an individual
18:39
Speaker 2: reporter who wants to report on it, but their editor
18:41
Speaker 2: is a gatekeeper and he said, oh no, no, that's not news,
18:43
Speaker 2: We're not going to cover it. Likewise, in the opposite, Okay,
18:47
Speaker 2: this happens, let's get that through. That gets through the
18:49
Speaker 2: gate gatekeepers. There used to be a gatekeeper in the
18:52
Speaker 2: political process in Wisconsin that would stop us from electing
18:55
Speaker 2: a Marxist as a governor. And that gatekeeper was the
18:59
Speaker 2: Democratic Democratic Party has been around as long as Wisconsin's
19:06
Speaker 2: been a state. It was really our first political party.
19:10
Speaker 2: It emerged from the Thomas Jefferson wing of the Demo.
19:14
Speaker 2: They called themselves Democratic Republicans. Then Andrew Jackson came around,
19:18
Speaker 2: and they're just Democrats. They've been around ever since, doing
19:22
Speaker 2: idiotic things most of their history. Nonetheless, as long as
19:25
Speaker 2: we've had a Democratic Party in Wisconsin, we've had a
19:31
Speaker 2: kind of progressive not that way progressives use the term
19:34
Speaker 2: now progressive Democratic party. The Democratic Party in Wisconsin was
19:38
Speaker 2: always to the left of that in the rest of
19:41
Speaker 2: the United States, but left but within the mainstream. Somebody
19:52
Speaker 2: who was to the fringy part of that never got
19:57
Speaker 2: anywhere within democratic politics. This is because forever the Democratic
20:02
Speaker 2: Party's base was the labor unions, in particular the private
20:07
Speaker 2: sector labor unions, people of color, people in the small towns,
20:13
Speaker 2: and a lot of farmers. The Republican Party was that
20:17
Speaker 2: was the country club, silk stocking type, the kind of affluents, suburbanites,
20:24
Speaker 2: the people that owned a business. But that other Democratic
20:28
Speaker 2: Party believed in, you know, fair wages for working people,
20:33
Speaker 2: all this stuff, but they were not anything approaching socialists.
20:39
Speaker 2: The Democrats, in fact, after World War Two were more
20:42
Speaker 2: anti communists than the Republicans, in part because it was
20:47
Speaker 2: the Democrats that had always been fending off the socialists
20:50
Speaker 2: through the first part of the twentieth century. So when
20:55
Speaker 2: you know, we've always had a handful of really really
20:58
Speaker 2: lefty I don't know that they went so far socialist,
21:00
Speaker 2: really really lefty Democrats in the state of Wisconsin, one
21:03
Speaker 2: or two would have get elected to the state legislature
21:05
Speaker 2: from Madison. I'll give you an example. This guy, I
21:10
Speaker 2: will give him credit. I've been making fun of how
21:13
Speaker 2: old Fred Risser was since I was in Madison, and
21:16
Speaker 2: that was forty years ago. Fred is still alive. I'm
21:18
Speaker 2: now at the point of which I actually will give
21:20
Speaker 2: the guy props in respect. Fred Resler is now two
21:23
Speaker 2: hundred years old. He hasn't gotta be in his nineties.
21:28
Speaker 2: Unless I missed this, I believe he's still alive. You
21:31
Speaker 2: heard it. You ever heard back when I was in
21:33
Speaker 2: Madison they called him brain dead Fred. I mean he
21:37
Speaker 2: wasn't brain dad. What he was is he was just
21:39
Speaker 2: he his whole family. He was, his father was in politics.
21:45
Speaker 2: He got elected to the state legislature like in his twenties,
21:48
Speaker 2: and he was still there like in his sixties and seventies.
21:50
Speaker 2: He lasted forever and ever and ever. The district that
21:52
Speaker 2: he represented in the state Senate was the one right
21:54
Speaker 2: around the Capitol meeting, was always the most liberal district
21:57
Speaker 2: in the state of Wisconsin. They made him like the
22:00
Speaker 2: president of the Senate, which is the presiding officer, and
22:02
Speaker 2: so on. Fred Risser had a very very high opinion
22:05
Speaker 2: of his intellect. He was a lawyer, had a lawyer
22:07
Speaker 2: in downtown Madison. Remember I broke a story about how
22:10
Speaker 2: he his property was assessed at like thirty five thousand
22:13
Speaker 2: dollars and he sold it to the state for like
22:15
Speaker 2: twenty times that it was the ultimate sweetheart deal. That's
22:17
Speaker 2: what I realized that Risser wasn't as brain dead as
22:20
Speaker 2: I thought, given the fact that he got the state
22:22
Speaker 2: to overpay for his property. Anyway, Fred Wisser had this
22:25
Speaker 2: really really high opinion of himself, and why not there
22:30
Speaker 2: was never a chance he'd be put up by that
22:32
Speaker 2: party to run for governor. He's too far to the left,
22:36
Speaker 2: and they figured, oh, we can't put up Fred he's
22:38
Speaker 2: too far to the left. He's a Madison lefty. So
22:41
Speaker 2: instead they'd run people like Pat Lucy, who became the
22:44
Speaker 2: governor and was elected to two four year terms. He
22:46
Speaker 2: designed in the middle of a second. They put up
22:50
Speaker 2: people like Tony Earl, who in his day was very
22:52
Speaker 2: level environmentalist. He had run the DNR. But they never
22:59
Speaker 2: would have put out a guy like Fred Risson. There
23:01
Speaker 2: was another guy from Madison back in the time that
23:03
Speaker 2: I was there on the legislature, really liberal guy named Oh,
23:07
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna get this wrong. If I get
23:09
Speaker 2: it wrong, I apologize, But it's close. I think it
23:11
Speaker 2: might have been named Spencer Black. If I'm wrong and
23:16
Speaker 2: confusing it with somebody else, I'll just make the point.
23:18
Speaker 2: It's a really, really lefty member of the state legislature.
23:22
Speaker 2: Zero chance he was going to be put up for
23:25
Speaker 2: state wide office. He was too far out there. Yet
23:27
Speaker 2: those people now would be the mainstream of the party.
23:30
Speaker 2: The Democrats themselves served as a check against this, and
23:35
Speaker 2: they ran the typical leftier than moderate leftier than most
23:39
Speaker 2: Democrats and the rest of the United States people for office.
23:42
Speaker 2: Here for Heaven's sakes, for the longest time, they ran
23:45
Speaker 2: Proxmyer for the Senate. Proxmayer was the closest thing that
23:49
Speaker 2: we had to a conservative Democrat. It's a great senator.
23:52
Speaker 2: They also had gay Lord Nelson, and there was a
23:54
Speaker 2: very very liberal senator. Those are the kinds of people
23:57
Speaker 2: that they ran. Herb Cole was elect senator and served
24:00
Speaker 2: for eighteen years. Fine Gold served forever. Fine Gold was
24:03
Speaker 2: much more liberal than Cole, and fine Gold is probably
24:07
Speaker 2: one of the top ten most liberals in the entire
24:09
Speaker 2: United States Senate, but today he'd be one of the
24:15
Speaker 2: moderates over there. In other words, they've always served as
24:19
Speaker 2: a check so we never had to worry about a
24:23
Speaker 2: Democrat running in the general election who was a comi.
24:27
Speaker 2: But that check has ceased. The latest Marquette University Law
24:35
Speaker 2: School pol is out. I'm telling you, Francesca Hang is
24:38
Speaker 2: killing it. She's now destroyed. And this is the first
24:43
Speaker 2: one that was taken after the tumult of Sierra Rodriguez
24:47
Speaker 2: being anointed and then imploding and being knocked at and
24:49
Speaker 2: having to drop out of the race, David Crowley getting
24:52
Speaker 2: back in and being endorsed by Tony evers another candidate
24:58
Speaker 2: dropping out in Rodriguez. Francesca Hang has thirty six percent.
25:10
Speaker 2: Mendela Barnes is in second. Excuse me, thirty eight percent.
25:14
Speaker 2: Mendela Barnes is in second with sixteen. Barnes is really lefty.
25:20
Speaker 2: He's not as far to the leftist Hong. By the way,
25:22
Speaker 2: it's just kind of knowledge that they that they were
25:25
Speaker 2: boyfriend girlfriend. Did you know you heard that? Okay? Well,
25:30
Speaker 2: for some reason, the media, I mean, the media just
25:32
Speaker 2: doesn't like to tell you things that are really interesting.
25:35
Speaker 2: They were like a thing. It was years ago, and
25:39
Speaker 2: there have been these there's been anonymous stuff that's been
25:43
Speaker 2: circling around in lefty circles about Barnes is just a
25:47
Speaker 2: serial dater and he treats women terribly. In all of this,
25:51
Speaker 2: it's just clear to me that it's coming from supporters
25:53
Speaker 2: of Francesca Hang, because I'm sure he gets there, because
25:56
Speaker 2: that was That's what Mendela Barnes' rap is. He goes
25:58
Speaker 2: out with women right and left, right and left, right
26:01
Speaker 2: and left, right and left and right and left, and
26:03
Speaker 2: he's always the one that moves on. He's a bachelor.
26:06
Speaker 2: Is every right to do that anyway, He's second, twenty
26:10
Speaker 2: two points behind third David Crowley. Again, this poll was
26:19
Speaker 2: taken after he was endorsed by Tony Evers, the eight
26:23
Speaker 2: year governor of the state of Wisconsin. Crowley's at seven percent,
26:28
Speaker 2: so they said that Crowley's the anointed one. What have
26:31
Speaker 2: you ever seen an anointed candidate at seven percent seven
26:41
Speaker 2: The other two candidates in the race Kelder Roys and
26:44
Speaker 2: Joel Brennan. Joel Brennan is running as like the sensible Democrat.
26:49
Speaker 2: He's a big liberal liberal like all the other Democrats.
26:51
Speaker 2: They've been forever and ever and ever and ever, and
26:53
Speaker 2: he's got the support of like people that I know,
26:56
Speaker 2: like are old bulls and the Democratic Party and so on.
26:59
Speaker 2: Neither nor Brennan hit two percent, so they didn't put
27:02
Speaker 2: him in the poll. I mean they were, they're listed them.
27:06
Speaker 2: People could respond, but they're listed in the poll as
27:09
Speaker 2: under two percent. Joe Brennan under two percent. He's been
27:14
Speaker 2: running tv ads right and left under two percent, so
27:21
Speaker 2: the most by the way, Brennan is the guy that
27:23
Speaker 2: I would think if he was the nominee, would be
27:26
Speaker 2: almost impossible for the Republicans to beat because he would
27:29
Speaker 2: go over and grab enough of the if it's a
27:30
Speaker 2: big national Democrat, you're as people think. Brennan just doesn't
27:34
Speaker 2: seem scary and frightening like a Marxist like hawang Is.
27:37
Speaker 2: He's not stupid like Bendela barnes Is. He's not a
27:42
Speaker 2: lightweight like David Crowley. But no Democrats are back at
27:46
Speaker 2: him under two percent. Kel De Royce's another thing that
27:53
Speaker 2: you're not going to hear anybody, you know, I say anybody.
27:55
Speaker 2: The only people are gonna come up with points like
27:57
Speaker 2: this are my fellow talk show who's some old radio
27:59
Speaker 2: station WI said. Nobody else is going to give you that.
28:01
Speaker 2: Kilder Royce is endorsed by the State Teachers' Union. Now
28:07
Speaker 2: Jason's new to the state. The State teachers Union dominated
28:12
Speaker 2: Wisconsin politics for forty years. It's the reason the teachers
28:16
Speaker 2: had all the benefits that they did. It's the reason
28:18
Speaker 2: that there was all this tenure. It's the reason that
28:20
Speaker 2: they didn't have to kick in for their pensions. The teachers'
28:23
Speaker 2: union even created their own insurance company and then required
28:27
Speaker 2: school districts to buy insurance from it, not take bids
28:30
Speaker 2: from anybody else. And when they endorsed the candidate and
28:34
Speaker 2: the Democratic side. It was over because first of all,
28:37
Speaker 2: the teachers that there's a lot of them, and second
28:41
Speaker 2: the union had a ton of money to dole out
28:43
Speaker 2: to that candidate. The state teachers' union is yesterday's news.
28:47
Speaker 2: They don't even matter anymore. The teachers' union endorse killed
28:50
Speaker 2: the Roys and the teachers. There's more than two percent
28:53
Speaker 2: of the Democratic voters in the state are teachers. She's
28:56
Speaker 2: under two percent despite the endorsement of the teachers' union.
29:05
Speaker 2: Hang is running away with this and I now, let
29:13
Speaker 2: me get back to my gatekeeper point. Where's the opposition
29:18
Speaker 2: to Hang? All I hear are Democrats wringing their hands
29:21
Speaker 2: that she might lose, but they aren't doing anything about it.
29:26
Speaker 2: David Crowley headline. Now, if this isn't the most idiotic
29:32
Speaker 2: thing a guy running in third would say about the
29:34
Speaker 2: front runner. Crowley minimizes policy differences with Hang. That's a
29:42
Speaker 2: great strategy to be elected. Yeah, I agree with her
29:45
Speaker 2: on everything. Instead of saying she's a radical, she's a Marxist,
29:50
Speaker 2: She's not what a Democrat is, he says, I don't.
29:52
Speaker 2: I pretty much agree with her on everything. It's just
29:55
Speaker 2: a matter about how you implement and who has the
29:57
Speaker 2: who would be a more capable leader. They had their
30:01
Speaker 2: debate this week. Five of them are standing there, four
30:05
Speaker 2: of them aren't Hang. All of the ones who aren't
30:08
Speaker 2: Hang are Behindhanng. None of them criticize Hong once. The
30:13
Speaker 2: only back and forth is Mandela Barnes made fun of
30:16
Speaker 2: Crowley on something. The two of them don't like each other.
30:21
Speaker 2: Neither of them seem to be running for governor. They
30:23
Speaker 2: seem to be running for which African American will get
30:25
Speaker 2: the most votes of the two African Americans. That appears
30:28
Speaker 2: to be the only contest that those two are engaged in.
30:34
Speaker 2: Prominent Democrat donors another part of the gatekeeper thing. They
30:38
Speaker 2: could run an independent expenditure campaign crashing Hang. Independent expenditure
30:45
Speaker 2: campaign is let's imagine I'm a lefty Democrat and I
30:50
Speaker 2: put in seventy five hundred hundred and twenty five million
30:52
Speaker 2: dollars a year into political campaigns. There are quite a
30:54
Speaker 2: few of them that do that. I create a pack,
30:58
Speaker 2: put in a million dollars committee for a great Wisconsiner,
31:01
Speaker 2: just some stupid name. I can then run as many
31:05
Speaker 2: ads as I want, simply saying that Francesco Hans a
31:08
Speaker 2: terrible candidate in an attempt to boost one of the
31:10
Speaker 2: other Democrats. That would be a way of discrediting her
31:13
Speaker 2: and serving this gatekeeper role. And it probably would have
31:16
Speaker 2: been done in the past with somebody. If the Democrats
31:19
Speaker 2: had a Marxist that was a front runner for anything,
31:21
Speaker 2: the other Democrats would try to stop that nothing. I
31:30
Speaker 2: remember the Vietnam War. Some of you, how are you
31:33
Speaker 2: going to bring Vietnam into this? I used to back
31:36
Speaker 2: in the beginning of my show, I'd bring Vietnam into
31:38
Speaker 2: a lot of things because it was football is great
31:41
Speaker 2: analogy in Vietnam was a great analogy. The Vietnam War
31:44
Speaker 2: was a war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, and
31:47
Speaker 2: we tried to help South Vietnam. The war was doomed
31:49
Speaker 2: from the beginning because half the people in who lived
31:52
Speaker 2: in South Vietnam sided with North Vietnam. They were called
31:55
Speaker 2: the Viet Kong for those of you never know what
31:57
Speaker 2: that termament. The Viet Kong were South Vietnamese communists. So
32:02
Speaker 2: you're not only the North Vietnamese fighting South Vietnam. You
32:06
Speaker 2: had the Vietcong within South Vietnam supporting South Vietnam. And
32:14
Speaker 2: we were going to try to back there for South Vietnam,
32:17
Speaker 2: which didn't even have the full support of its own people.
32:20
Speaker 2: We fought the war about as badly as you could
32:22
Speaker 2: fight a war, killing a lot of people without ever
32:25
Speaker 2: getting any military gains, and so on. An analogy that
32:32
Speaker 2: you can make here is that if you have no
32:39
Speaker 2: ability to beat somebody and don't try to beat someone,
32:42
Speaker 2: you're not going to beat them. I don't think there's
32:47
Speaker 2: anything we could have done to have South Vietnam win
32:51
Speaker 2: the war with North Vietnam. Even if there had been
32:54
Speaker 2: a ceasefire that would have kept the border in place,
32:57
Speaker 2: three years later, it would have started up again because
32:59
Speaker 2: the South Vietnamese government did not have the support of
33:02
Speaker 2: its own people. North Vietnam had the heavy support of China,
33:05
Speaker 2: it's sort of neighbor, had more money, had more funding,
33:08
Speaker 2: it had the passion of the people behind them. There
33:10
Speaker 2: was nothing that was going to be done to be
33:11
Speaker 2: able to win that war, but at least there was
33:13
Speaker 2: some sort of feeble attempt to do So what is
33:18
Speaker 2: the attempt that earths I'll ask Jason, what at kempt
33:21
Speaker 2: do you see right now by Democrats in Wisconsin to
33:23
Speaker 2: stop Francesca Han. There's none We've had bad Republicans run
33:36
Speaker 2: for office in Wisconsin paused by I felt better Republicans.
33:41
Speaker 2: I tried to stop the bad one. So you're seeing
33:51
Speaker 2: this radical cake walk her way to the nomination. In
33:56
Speaker 2: the meantime, By the way, when you see stories in
33:59
Speaker 2: the mainstream media that make other candidates look bad, don't
34:05
Speaker 2: think for a moment that any of these reporters in
34:07
Speaker 2: the media are digging these things up. This is all
34:11
Speaker 2: opposition research. The other candidates, who aren't actually going to
34:16
Speaker 2: go out there and criticize their rivals will instead find
34:19
Speaker 2: dirt and whisper in the ear of a reporter. Two
34:23
Speaker 2: interesting stories, dirt on two of these Democrats running. They
34:29
Speaker 2: went and they found David Crowley's old Twitter account. This
34:32
Speaker 2: is when x was known as Twitter. Like quite a
34:36
Speaker 2: few people, all of whom I would subscribe as idiots.
34:42
Speaker 2: The number of people who've wrecked their lives over posting
34:45
Speaker 2: on Twitter and social media, it's an incredible number. Every
34:48
Speaker 2: time I post anything, I think about, is this going
34:50
Speaker 2: to end my career? Probably in the end will anyway,
34:54
Speaker 2: and I'm really careful about it. In any event, Crowley
34:57
Speaker 2: decided that he didn't want to have anybody know who
35:00
Speaker 2: it was that was posting, so he created a fake name.
35:03
Speaker 2: I'm telling you he should be disqualified from being the
35:06
Speaker 2: governor just on the basis of the fake name that
35:08
Speaker 2: he chose. Dirk McGirk, just by virtue of the fact
35:14
Speaker 2: that that's what you called yourself, should disqualify you from
35:18
Speaker 2: being the governor. You should have to resign as county executive,
35:21
Speaker 2: Dirk McGirk. Now you say he was probably twelve, he
35:24
Speaker 2: was in his twenties. And as you hear this now,
35:27
Speaker 2: don't anybody tell me, oh, he did this as a
35:29
Speaker 2: young man. Don't hold it against him. Now, remember Josh Hater,
35:33
Speaker 2: the former Brewer reliever. They unearthed some social media postings
35:37
Speaker 2: he made when he was seventeen. The lefty media depended
35:43
Speaker 2: that humandicly be suspended from baseball. He was crucified for this.
35:48
Speaker 2: His next appearance in Milwaukee, the Brewers fans gave him
35:50
Speaker 2: a standing ovation, showing that they were behind him, that
35:54
Speaker 2: this guy shouldn't be judged and dumb things that he
35:56
Speaker 2: posted when he was not even an adult yet media
36:00
Speaker 2: rip Brewer fans for that. So don't give me any
36:03
Speaker 2: of this. Crowley was a grown man, a college well,
36:05
Speaker 2: he wasn't a college graduate. He didn't become a college
36:08
Speaker 2: graduate until he was the Milwaukee County executive when he
36:11
Speaker 2: had the taxpayers paid for us to wishing to finish
36:13
Speaker 2: up at UWM. Anyway, Dirk McGirk story on jass sighing,
36:23
Speaker 2: David Crowley strongly condemns language in old at Twitter account.
36:27
Speaker 2: So Crowley's condemning himself. Now, this is a different thing
36:33
Speaker 2: than say apologizing forward or saying I shouldn't have said it.
36:36
Speaker 2: He's condemning these statements. Okay, that's an interesting way of
36:40
Speaker 2: trying to wheeze a lot of it. The Dirk McGirk
36:45
Speaker 2: account was registered to Crowley. Now there are people coming
36:49
Speaker 2: forward saying David didn't post all of those. A bunch
36:51
Speaker 2: of us for contributing, and whenever we had a smart
36:53
Speaker 2: ass thing to say, we would post und Dirk McGirk.
36:57
Speaker 2: There's another guy in Milwaukee with the nickname Nitty. I
37:00
Speaker 2: don't know why African Americans want to be associated with
37:03
Speaker 2: a white gangster, but we have another Nitty. This isn't
37:06
Speaker 2: Frank Nitty, the guy who was leading the George Floyd
37:08
Speaker 2: protests and then ran off with all the money and
37:11
Speaker 2: faced criminal charge and so on. Anyway, this is a
37:13
Speaker 2: different guy. He said, well, you know a lot of us.
37:16
Speaker 2: This is Ray Boyns, who goes by Ray Nitty Boyins.
37:20
Speaker 2: He said, you know a lot of us were posting
37:22
Speaker 2: on this account. He's kind of stepping in to take
37:24
Speaker 2: some of it. Wasn't just all David, but the account
37:26
Speaker 2: was registered to David Crowley. A few of them on here.
37:33
Speaker 2: Now I'm I'm going to do my best to read here.
37:38
Speaker 2: In the African American slang that they use, follow no
37:43
Speaker 2: blank pork please. For those who don't know, it's DC
37:48
Speaker 2: aka David BKA dirty or black ass dude. Ha ha
37:54
Speaker 2: ha ha. DC would be David Crowley. So he's speaking
37:57
Speaker 2: in codes of the people who knew who he was,
38:00
Speaker 2: knew what he was talking about. Just STFU, which is
38:03
Speaker 2: shut the bleep up and follow, hashtag retweet some of
38:08
Speaker 2: the posts every Dan I am ever seen again? Today
38:11
Speaker 2: in the office alone all day until six pm? What
38:13
Speaker 2: to do? Somebody keep me company? But others are profane.
38:17
Speaker 2: That's just nasty. I wouldn't bleep her with your bleep.
38:22
Speaker 2: Hashtag slap yourself reads one post from November from May
38:26
Speaker 2: twenty fifth to twenty ten. That's just sixteen years ago.
38:31
Speaker 2: What's Craly forty one? He's twenty five and was, by
38:35
Speaker 2: the way, already plotting his way up the ladder in
38:38
Speaker 2: democratic politics. Another post May ten, twenty ten. I love
38:43
Speaker 2: kicking it with the drunk women. Now let me pause
38:48
Speaker 2: for a moment when remember when Scott Walker was running
38:52
Speaker 2: for governor. He had been the Milwaukee County executive for
38:56
Speaker 2: a couple of terms. The lefties tried to make a
38:59
Speaker 2: big heel out of the fact that Scott didn't graduate
39:02
Speaker 2: from college. He went to Marquette, dropped out. That would
39:07
Speaker 2: have been at a time that he was younger than
39:09
Speaker 2: Crowley was there. All he did was stop going to
39:12
Speaker 2: He got a job with the Red Cross, got ahead
39:14
Speaker 2: in politics, decided to stop going to school. That's all
39:16
Speaker 2: it was. First they tried to imply he was I
39:19
Speaker 2: bet he was kicked out, which I just can't even fathom.
39:22
Speaker 2: Scott Walker is like, I mean, he just defines eagle scout.
39:27
Speaker 2: He's like the most clean, living, polite politician in the
39:30
Speaker 2: history of American politics. But they tried to go on
39:33
Speaker 2: and on about that. Crowley's like years later than that,
39:36
Speaker 2: posting right out there saying he loves kicking it with
39:40
Speaker 2: drunk women. Now, I think that's probably an opinion that
39:45
Speaker 2: a fair number of males actually have that they do
39:47
Speaker 2: love kicking it with drunk women. I'm killing you. I
39:54
Speaker 2: sit and I used to sit in bars and talk
39:56
Speaker 2: to guys. I don't know that anybody ever came out
40:00
Speaker 2: and said that I like to bleep drunk women. I mean,
40:04
Speaker 2: you tell you about you. I've been around the most
40:06
Speaker 2: crude bar talk that you can kind of imagine. This
40:12
Speaker 2: makes what Trump said in the Billy Bush tapes looked
40:16
Speaker 2: like nothing. May ten post reads only in like you
40:25
Speaker 2: have hashtag gay thoughts lol, then a version of the
40:30
Speaker 2: F word f and then there's g's any here, I
40:34
Speaker 2: won't say it tambourine player lol. The post range in
40:40
Speaker 2: twenty ten to twenty fourteen, when Crowley was about twenty
40:43
Speaker 2: four to twenty eight years old. You know forty. The
40:45
Speaker 2: Crowley campaign spokesperson says there were a number of people
40:48
Speaker 2: with access that could post to the account. David was
40:50
Speaker 2: out of only many people had access to this Twitter
40:52
Speaker 2: account more than a decade and a half ago. The
40:54
Speaker 2: spokesperson said he did not write or post a problematic
40:57
Speaker 2: contented question okay, other words, these really bad ones. That
41:02
Speaker 2: was like cool, that was like Rainity boyins or what
41:06
Speaker 2: other one of Crawley's knee slapping friends. In any event,
41:12
Speaker 2: this is the guy that's now the anointed candidate, supported
41:15
Speaker 2: by supported by Tony Evers. You can see why Francesca
41:19
Speaker 2: Hong isn't much sweating about Crowley here. Now, where did
41:22
Speaker 2: this story come from? I'm telling you it came. I'm
41:24
Speaker 2: guessing it came from Barnes. As people, Barnes and Crowley
41:27
Speaker 2: don't like each other, they never have. And as I say,
41:30
Speaker 2: I just think Barnes and Crawley are brought it against
41:32
Speaker 2: each other and hang is just Oh, it's like if
41:34
Speaker 2: you see a NASCAR race and the drivers. One driver's
41:37
Speaker 2: lay ahead and two drivers are fighting for second and third,
41:39
Speaker 2: and they keep banging into each other and slowing each
41:41
Speaker 2: other down. The driver first just takes off farther and
41:44
Speaker 2: farther and farther. Meanwhile, to Mendela, Barnes, after Mandela ran
41:52
Speaker 2: for the United States, said it in twenty twenty two.
41:54
Speaker 2: He then was no longer the lieutenant governor. He didn't
41:56
Speaker 2: run for lieutenant governor twenty two. He was the governor
41:59
Speaker 2: elected with Evers that he ran for the US Senate
42:01
Speaker 2: lost around Johnson. He did what a lot of these politicians,
42:05
Speaker 2: particularly the slimy ones do. He set up a pack
42:09
Speaker 2: and I'm killing you everything, Mendela Barnes does. You have
42:12
Speaker 2: to check and look closely at because he's not particularly
42:17
Speaker 2: he's not even an innicity of an attempt to be
42:19
Speaker 2: cagy about stuff. Didn't pay his condo fees, was in
42:23
Speaker 2: a fight with the condo association, defaulted on his property tax,
42:26
Speaker 2: and didn't never drive his license, had a state trooper
42:28
Speaker 2: driving him back and forth between Milwaukee and Madison. Hosted
42:35
Speaker 2: a party in which he posted online that no ratchets
42:38
Speaker 2: his term were allowed. That's Mendela, So Mendela, Okay, he's
42:42
Speaker 2: not running for the Senate. He could do something like
42:44
Speaker 2: get a job. Mendela formed a pack a political action committee.
42:50
Speaker 2: A political action committee means that you can raise money
42:52
Speaker 2: from anybody, and there's no limits as to how much
42:56
Speaker 2: money anybody can give to you. Often, somebody who's no
43:00
Speaker 2: longer in office will start a pack to do one
43:03
Speaker 2: of two things. To fund their own political activities, to
43:07
Speaker 2: keep their name afloat, or to be kingmaker. To raise
43:10
Speaker 2: money in the pack. This is what the guy from
43:12
Speaker 2: the monoc web grewing company would do. The guy the
43:15
Speaker 2: Democrats are now disavowing to the point that Tony Eavers
43:18
Speaker 2: trying to shut his business down because he's cheat, trying
43:20
Speaker 2: to cheat on the states, trying to import beer into
43:23
Speaker 2: Illinois without putting the tax stamp out, without paying the
43:26
Speaker 2: taxes anyway. That guy, he would raise money for his
43:28
Speaker 2: pack and then spend the money on behalf of other candidates.
43:32
Speaker 2: This allows the donor to launder the money through a
43:35
Speaker 2: pack and do the dirty work without it ever being
43:37
Speaker 2: connected to an individual person. So Barnes sets up this
43:40
Speaker 2: pack according to a report again on GS online, And
43:43
Speaker 2: my guess is that this story came this story may
43:46
Speaker 2: actually have come from Hang and not from Crowley. Now
43:50
Speaker 2: why do I say this? Who's Barnes's ex girlfriend Hang?
44:00
Speaker 2: Who would know exactly what was going on in Hank's pack?
44:03
Speaker 2: In Barnes's pack, Hank, It turns out that of the
44:06
Speaker 2: money that he raised between twenty twenty three and twenty
44:08
Speaker 2: twenty five in this pack, hardly any of it went
44:11
Speaker 2: to support any political candidates. So he forms a political
44:15
Speaker 2: action committee, takes in a bunch of money and doesn't
44:18
Speaker 2: give them the candidates. Now, I've been on this kind
44:21
Speaker 2: of subject forever and ever and ever, and I've always
44:24
Speaker 2: tried to tell the audience this is beyond just follow
44:26
Speaker 2: the money. It's my thing about there's a lot of
44:29
Speaker 2: profit to be made in nonprofit organizations. You set up
44:33
Speaker 2: that pack, you can do almost anything you want with it.
44:37
Speaker 2: You can hire people, and you can hire people who
44:40
Speaker 2: don't do anything at all. Now, why would you hire
44:42
Speaker 2: somebody to not do anything at all. Well, if you're
44:45
Speaker 2: a crook, you're doing it because they're kind of kicked
44:47
Speaker 2: back a chunk of the money to you. Or you're
44:50
Speaker 2: doing it so that you can have a political consultant
44:53
Speaker 2: be on some sort of payroll while they plot your
44:55
Speaker 2: next move like running for governor. So only fifteen percent
44:58
Speaker 2: of the money the donors gave to this thing, and
45:00
Speaker 2: where Donuts misled to Barnes say I'm going to go
45:02
Speaker 2: and give this money to progressive candidates. Who knows what
45:05
Speaker 2: Barnes said in order to raise this money. But the
45:08
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is is that he used this
45:10
Speaker 2: pack for all sorts of expenses that didn't have anything
45:13
Speaker 2: to do with politics or political campaigns. There are things
45:19
Speaker 2: you can't do with a campaign fund. For example, the
45:25
Speaker 2: FEC Federal Election Commission has looked down on using campaign
45:30
Speaker 2: funds to say, buy a wardrobe. Candidates may say, well,
45:33
Speaker 2: if I'm running for office, I have to buy a
45:35
Speaker 2: wardrobe because you know, they all kind of dress up
45:37
Speaker 2: except for Federman, right, But they don't let you do
45:40
Speaker 2: that because that's considered to simply be converting campaign funds
45:43
Speaker 2: to personal use. It can also it can then be
45:48
Speaker 2: considered to be tax rawed because you're not paying money
45:51
Speaker 2: on that income. But you can do a lot of
45:53
Speaker 2: other things that could be considered political. For example, you
45:56
Speaker 2: could pay your way to a political rally, some of
46:00
Speaker 2: your automobile expenses, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But
46:02
Speaker 2: the Political Action Committee doesn't have any of those restrictions.
46:06
Speaker 2: The pack could pretty much spend the money in whatever
46:08
Speaker 2: way they want and anybody who does, and the donors
46:10
Speaker 2: don't have to give money to it if they don't
46:12
Speaker 2: trust that the pack is on the up and up.
46:14
Speaker 2: So Mandela starts this pack, I remember, Mendela has been
46:18
Speaker 2: scamming on money forever. Do you never driver's license? For
46:22
Speaker 2: a while so can't get back, and we wanted to
46:25
Speaker 2: come back to Milwaukee every night when he was a
46:26
Speaker 2: lieutenant governor, not doing anything as lieutenant governor, so you
46:29
Speaker 2: had a state trooper drive him back and forth, state car,
46:33
Speaker 2: state employee doing it. He's in an argument with his
46:38
Speaker 2: condo association over non payment of the fees. I mean,
46:44
Speaker 2: you hear about these people who live in You hear
46:45
Speaker 2: about people who have these disputes. I'm not going to
46:47
Speaker 2: pay the fee because you haven't fixed with this ad
46:49
Speaker 2: And the other thing, he was delinquid on his property taxes.
46:54
Speaker 2: By the way, I think that that was a story
46:58
Speaker 2: I reported on that Red Are on the same time
47:01
Speaker 2: Dan Biss did. But I believe I just do not
47:04
Speaker 2: want to be inaccurateor I think Biss had this first,
47:07
Speaker 2: and then I got a port as I recall, I
47:10
Speaker 2: had the story about the condo fees, and then Biss
47:13
Speaker 2: reported on that, and Biss had the story on the
47:15
Speaker 2: property taxes, and I picked up on that. In any event,
47:19
Speaker 2: Mendela said, I'm not delinquent, they're just late. What do
47:26
Speaker 2: you think delinquent maids? In property taxes in Wisconsin? You
47:32
Speaker 2: have a year to pay them. Most people pay them.
47:36
Speaker 2: If you itemize your tax deductions, you try to pay
47:39
Speaker 2: them right away in December in full, because you can
47:41
Speaker 2: then deduct all of that in your taxes. That deduction
47:44
Speaker 2: has since been limited. The tax reform that passed limited
47:47
Speaker 2: the amount of state and local tax deduction you can have.
47:49
Speaker 2: This goes back a number of years, back to the
47:52
Speaker 2: first term of President Trump. The current tax bill that
47:55
Speaker 2: we passed has brought some of that thing back, as
47:59
Speaker 2: people who did their this year will have seen. In
48:01
Speaker 2: any event, you have a full year after that to
48:04
Speaker 2: pay them. And Barnes was passed that year and he
48:06
Speaker 2: hadn't paid. So given that that's Mandela's background, yes, I
48:14
Speaker 2: can be very suspicious about this pack. So what have
48:16
Speaker 2: I just told you here? The candidates that are running
48:19
Speaker 2: two and three have these negative stories run on them.
48:22
Speaker 2: In the meantime, the most radical candidate of the all
48:27
Speaker 2: of them is running through here unscathed. Next, at the
48:34
Speaker 2: most recent candidate debate, Hang for the first time started
48:42
Speaker 2: to distance herself from the Democratic Socialists of America. The
48:47
Speaker 2: DSA is the wing of the Democratic Party that's been
48:52
Speaker 2: winning elections for the Congress and has been winning some
48:55
Speaker 2: local elections in Milwaukee for some nime. No, this is
49:00
Speaker 2: the socialist wing, and the word socialist is right in
49:02
Speaker 2: their term. I'll call them Marxist. I mean, that's the
49:06
Speaker 2: one term that the lefties haven't grabbed on to yet. Well,
49:11
Speaker 2: what was it what economic philosophy was it that Karl
49:14
Speaker 2: Marx advocated? He advocated Marxism, which is why it's called Marxism,
49:19
Speaker 2: which then morphed into communism. Anyway, the Marxists often said, well,
49:25
Speaker 2: what the communists do, that's not exactly what we are.
49:27
Speaker 2: They have the same economic policy, but we're not for
49:30
Speaker 2: all the corruption and so forth, and so what anyway,
49:34
Speaker 2: that is the umbrella group that Hang has been a
49:40
Speaker 2: member of. Well, the DSA has all of these policies
49:44
Speaker 2: that are extremely radical, and Haung has been a supporter
49:50
Speaker 2: of just about all of them, which is why she
49:52
Speaker 2: catapulted to this lead. When fran Jisca Han got into
49:55
Speaker 2: the race for governor, I don't think many people thought
49:57
Speaker 2: she was going to win because she was just a
49:58
Speaker 2: look like I was referred earlier to lefty members of
50:01
Speaker 2: the state legislature from Madison, like's say Kel de Royce,
50:04
Speaker 2: who's not as radical as Hong, but wait to the left.
50:07
Speaker 2: She's going nowhere, and that's how almost all of them
50:09
Speaker 2: have gone anywhere. So she's getting in the race to run. Okay, fine,
50:11
Speaker 2: she's gonna run. She had away given as much chance
50:13
Speaker 2: as Missy Hughes, who also got into the race and run.
50:15
Speaker 2: But Han got in there right away and started bragging
50:18
Speaker 2: I'm DSA, I'm DSA, and that wing of that party
50:22
Speaker 2: is very active and the mainstream Democrats are scared to
50:25
Speaker 2: death of them. So anyway, Hang is now saying that
50:36
Speaker 2: she doesn't support a number of the positions of the DSA,
50:40
Speaker 2: including the Democratic Socials of America. One of the planks
50:44
Speaker 2: in their platform is to eliminate the United States Senate.
50:48
Speaker 2: That's their position. They want to have a one chamber Congress.
50:53
Speaker 2: The House of Representatives will be the only chamber. So
50:56
Speaker 2: Long is now saying, for I don't agree with that.
51:02
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one on X, Francesca Hang herself posted
51:08
Speaker 2: abolisch the Senate. So Franny, when did you change her
51:13
Speaker 2: mind on that? So I think the fact that she's
51:17
Speaker 2: distancing herself from some of this DSA stuff now means
51:21
Speaker 2: she already knows she's won the Democratic primary. She's now
51:24
Speaker 2: doing the pivot that Democrats always do. She used the
51:29
Speaker 2: radicalism to get to the lead in a multi candidate
51:31
Speaker 2: race and separate herself from this very mediocre pack of nobody's.
51:38
Speaker 2: She got way ahead. Sierra Rodriguez, who probably was her
51:41
Speaker 2: greatest threat, imploded. Mendela Barnes, who's a lightweight, has the
51:46
Speaker 2: best name recognition. She obviously had a fair number of
51:49
Speaker 2: dirt on them, given the fact that they used to
51:51
Speaker 2: go out. Barnes is slid. He's still second, but he's slid.
51:56
Speaker 2: So Hang used her radicalism to get where she is,
51:58
Speaker 2: and now she has to pivot away from now that
52:00
Speaker 2: she has it nailed down. So DSADSA DSA DSA DSADSA
52:05
Speaker 2: an organization she's been a member of pretty much from
52:07
Speaker 2: its beginning, and now so, well, I don't support abolishing
52:11
Speaker 2: the Senate. I you know, I don't really think we
52:13
Speaker 2: should close all the prisons tomorrow. She's even kind of
52:17
Speaker 2: waffling on school choice. She wants to end school choice,
52:20
Speaker 2: but well, maybe I wouldn't do it all in the
52:22
Speaker 2: first year. There's a backdrop here. There's an organization conservative
52:35
Speaker 2: organization in Wisconsin called the Institute for Reforming Government it's
52:39
Speaker 2: a conservative advocacy organization. It's based in Delafield. They've conducted
52:44
Speaker 2: their own pool. They're doing it. They did it right
52:48
Speaker 2: along the same timeline as the Marquete University Law School pool.
52:53
Speaker 2: It was done July twentieth and the twenty fourth. It
53:00
Speaker 2: showed some things that are bad for Republicans, but a
53:03
Speaker 2: lot of things that potentially would be good for them.
53:06
Speaker 2: First of all, eighty two percent of all voters called
53:08
Speaker 2: inflation of the cost of living very important. That's not surprising.
53:12
Speaker 2: Republican voters and Democratic voters both think it's very important.
53:15
Speaker 2: The Democratic voters were bothered by it when Joe Biden
53:18
Speaker 2: invented inflation. Donald Trump said that he would get rid
53:21
Speaker 2: of inflation. And some of the inflation has come back
53:24
Speaker 2: because of the fact that we got this war going on,
53:26
Speaker 2: which is causing on popularity among Republicans for Trump, So
53:30
Speaker 2: that first part is not surprising. Twenty six percent gave
53:33
Speaker 2: an answer related to government integrity. When asked to state
53:37
Speaker 2: their most important issue, twenty three percent gave an answer
53:39
Speaker 2: related to the economy. Forty eight percent net favorable for
53:43
Speaker 2: free market economy. Do you support a free market economy?
53:50
Speaker 2: The plurality was forty eight percent. Almost everyone said yes.
53:58
Speaker 2: The opposite of Marxist would be a free market economy.
54:02
Speaker 2: A free market economy would be one that I don't
54:05
Speaker 2: think is where Trump is. Trump's not that far to
54:08
Speaker 2: the right. Trump, for example, supports tariffs, as do why
54:12
Speaker 2: a free market would not have any tariffs. It would
54:14
Speaker 2: allow you to be totally walked all over. So, in
54:17
Speaker 2: other words, free market would be the total extreme of
54:19
Speaker 2: no government intervention in the economy at all, and socialism
54:23
Speaker 2: would be the Marxism would be the exact opposite, the
54:26
Speaker 2: government controlling the means of production, the government funding this,
54:29
Speaker 2: the government funding that, the government doing all of this. Now,
54:32
Speaker 2: I admit, whenever you do polling, people tend to say
54:37
Speaker 2: they agree with something when it sounds good. So you
54:40
Speaker 2: probably have some Marxist who say that they support a
54:42
Speaker 2: free market economy because that sounds good, even though it's
54:45
Speaker 2: the antithesis of it. Nonetheless, it would certainly show that
54:49
Speaker 2: a Republican who actually is something of a free market
54:52
Speaker 2: economy guy like Tiffany can exploit this by accurately describing
54:57
Speaker 2: himself as such. Here's a good one. Should we eliminate
55:02
Speaker 2: the personal income tax. By twenty thirty, seventy three percent
55:07
Speaker 2: said yes, nineteen percent said no. That means, well, you
55:11
Speaker 2: have a Democrat running for governor who wants to raise
55:13
Speaker 2: the income tax, and, by the way, raise every tax
55:15
Speaker 2: there is. Seventy two percent of the voters of the
55:18
Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin say we shouldn't have any income tax
55:19
Speaker 2: at all. Now, I grant you, these same voters will
55:22
Speaker 2: turn around and say that the state should pay more
55:24
Speaker 2: for public education, so we can take it off the
55:26
Speaker 2: property tax. Well, how are you going to do that
55:28
Speaker 2: if you're cutting the income tax. So again, I do
55:32
Speaker 2: get that people do talk out of both sides of
55:34
Speaker 2: their mouth and sometimes don't know what they think. They
55:38
Speaker 2: didn't he say, here, cut the income tax, And the
55:42
Speaker 2: question wasn't should we cut the personal income tax just
55:45
Speaker 2: for low income people, This would be for everybody. The
55:48
Speaker 2: biggest beneficiaries, of course, a pet people who pay a
55:50
Speaker 2: lot of income tax. Seventy three to nineteen according to
55:53
Speaker 2: the IRG poll, eighty five to eight support by among Republicans,
55:57
Speaker 2: sixty five to twenty four among Democrats, but the sixty
56:00
Speaker 2: five or twenty four among independents, sixty four to twenty
56:03
Speaker 2: eight among Democrats, you wonder how we can possibly live
56:09
Speaker 2: on a high tax state when overwhelming majorities of both
56:13
Speaker 2: political parties and dependents say we shouldn't have an income
56:16
Speaker 2: tax at all. Sixty eight percent of voters, including half
56:20
Speaker 2: of Democrats, when twenty twenty seven states spending held flat
56:23
Speaker 2: or reduced, So okay, sixty six percent of voters say
56:26
Speaker 2: that they want state spending flat or reduced. Jeff Francesco
56:30
Speaker 2: Hong's running for governor, saying she wants to take this
56:33
Speaker 2: three billion dollar surplus that we have spended all on
56:36
Speaker 2: healthcare and education and then race taxes besides. So the
56:39
Speaker 2: position that she takes is clearly bucking up against the
56:44
Speaker 2: overwhelming majority position of the voters in the state of Wisconsin.
56:51
Speaker 2: A few other questions in the governor's race. Independence leaned
56:56
Speaker 2: toward tiffany pure independence the least partisan anchored voters his
57:00
Speaker 2: favorite tiffity against all three leading Democrats, But they're also
57:03
Speaker 2: the least enthusiastic block in the race. That doesn't surprise me.
57:06
Speaker 2: Independents are always the least enthusiastic because they never agree
57:10
Speaker 2: with anybody about anything. If you're somebody that's stridently right
57:14
Speaker 2: or stridently left, you are more passionate in your beliefs.
57:19
Speaker 2: Tiffany is down in the general election, but outrunning the
57:22
Speaker 2: generic ballot. In other words, the margin of the Tiffany
57:25
Speaker 2: gets in a one on one race against a Democrat,
57:29
Speaker 2: he does better than simply do you want to have
57:31
Speaker 2: a Democrat win that a Republican wins. So, in other words,
57:34
Speaker 2: if you take to take the average generic Republican without
57:37
Speaker 2: a name, Tiffany is doing better than that. Again, this
57:39
Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me. Tiffany comes from the right part of
57:42
Speaker 2: the state, and I think he's a very good candidate.
57:45
Speaker 2: The DSA tax a Democratic Socialist of America affiliation costs
57:50
Speaker 2: a candidate on that eighteen points statewide. In other words,
57:52
Speaker 2: the question asked, would you be more or less likely
57:57
Speaker 2: to back a candidate who is a member of the
57:58
Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist of which one is, there's an eighteen percent
58:02
Speaker 2: who would say eighteen percent more say I would be
58:06
Speaker 2: less likely, meaning hanging her with that again and again
58:09
Speaker 2: and again and again and again does give you some
58:11
Speaker 2: potential that she could be stopped, which is again why
58:14
Speaker 2: I say watch for her and out who start repudiating
58:18
Speaker 2: a number of these positions that she's taken and have
58:20
Speaker 2: gotten to the point of winning the Democratic nomination dismantled lies.
58:26
Speaker 2: Forty six percent to forty one percent are opposed to
58:28
Speaker 2: that cut the prison population in half. Forty nine percent
58:32
Speaker 2: say no, thirty percent say yes. Defund is a first
58:35
Speaker 2: step toward abolishing police Only twelve percent say yes. Seventy
58:39
Speaker 2: eight percent say no. So defunding the police cutting police funding,
58:42
Speaker 2: which is a position of most of these Democrats and
58:44
Speaker 2: certainly of Haunt, it's only a twelve percent position. So
58:47
Speaker 2: the point that's in here is is that while it
58:49
Speaker 2: is a challenging year for Republicans because of the national
58:52
Speaker 2: backdrop and so on, the majority of the issues that
58:54
Speaker 2: are out there would favor Tiffany and certainly would not
58:58
Speaker 2: favor Hang. So what we're confronted with is this, I
59:05
Speaker 2: want to get to the Act ten component of this.
59:07
Speaker 2: Since I mentioned it as part of this perfect storm,
59:10
Speaker 2: the District two Court of Appeals has overturned a lower
59:13
Speaker 2: court ruling and has said Act ten is constitution. LAC
59:16
Speaker 2: ten was the legislation that was passed early in the
59:18
Speaker 2: Walker years that ended forced membership and unions required public
59:25
Speaker 2: employees to kick in for at least half of their
59:28
Speaker 2: pension and some portion of their health insurance benefits, and
59:33
Speaker 2: put limits on how much money local government can increase
59:35
Speaker 2: their spending every year and required them to go to
59:37
Speaker 2: referendum if they wanted to outspend the limits. Number of
59:40
Speaker 2: other provisions provisions that were in place. The left has
59:44
Speaker 2: hated that legislation from the moment it passed. They tried
59:47
Speaker 2: to recall Walker from office. Walker won by a bigger margin,
59:51
Speaker 2: and the recall election the first time indicating public approval
59:54
Speaker 2: of Act ten. All right, all these years later, some
59:56
Speaker 2: people may not remember how bad the spending was and
59:58
Speaker 2: how bad the power of the Team Treo Union was.
1:00:00
Speaker 2: The lefties are hell bent on getting rid of Act
1:00:03
Speaker 2: ten so they can get all of that money back.
1:00:06
Speaker 2: The State Supreme Court now has with the swearing in.
1:00:11
Speaker 2: I think, is it August first that Bradley leaves the
1:00:15
Speaker 2: Supreme Court? I think so. I think Rebecca Bradley's tenure
1:00:18
Speaker 2: ends in a couple of days. So the Supreme Court
1:00:20
Speaker 2: is going to go to a now overwhelming pro leftist position,
1:00:26
Speaker 2: given the fact that the Court of Appeals just upheld
1:00:28
Speaker 2: to Act ten. That means the next step now is
1:00:31
Speaker 2: the State Supreme Court. This is what gets it to
1:00:34
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. The appeals court had to act first.
1:00:37
Speaker 2: The lower court knockdown a portion of Act ten, not all.
1:00:42
Speaker 2: The Appeals Court put all of Act ten back in
1:00:45
Speaker 2: and said it stands. So now it goes to the
1:00:48
Speaker 2: State Supreme Court. And my fear is that he radical
1:00:51
Speaker 2: that court is they're going to knock the whole thing down,
1:00:53
Speaker 2: even though it was clearly constitutional, it was challenged at
1:00:56
Speaker 2: the time. Let's just say, sure, the governor a right
1:00:58
Speaker 2: to say that we're going to limit how much money
1:00:59
Speaker 2: you can spend as a government. It's the thing that
1:01:01
Speaker 2: governing does. It doesn't violate the Constitution at all, but
1:01:04
Speaker 2: it's a major challenge to leftist So the horror story
1:01:08
Speaker 2: situation is the limits that are already in place are gone.
1:01:12
Speaker 2: You have a democratic legislature hell bent on taxing and
1:01:16
Speaker 2: spending and a Marxist in there as governor pushing them
1:01:19
Speaker 2: even farther to do it, with no check at all
1:01:21
Speaker 2: coming from the Supreme Court. The counter to that is
1:01:26
Speaker 2: there's also the chance that it doesn't work, that Hong
1:01:33
Speaker 2: is so radical that even in a national Democrat year,
1:01:36
Speaker 2: a Republican could win Antiffany, and that the radicalism of
1:01:42
Speaker 2: Hong may serve as a drag on some of the
1:01:44
Speaker 2: Democratic candidates running in swing districts for the state legislature.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: In other words, this may be a case of the
1:01:50
Speaker 2: left overplaying their hands. And I know where these lefties
1:01:55
Speaker 2: are coming from. They're figuring, there's no way we're going
1:01:58
Speaker 2: to lose in twenty six because Trump's popular, We're going
1:02:00
Speaker 2: to win all these swing states governors in the United
1:02:02
Speaker 2: States Senate elections and so on. So let's swing for
1:02:05
Speaker 2: the fences and put in a true believer. Let's put
1:02:07
Speaker 2: in a hardcore leftist, and we'll have the whole thing.
1:02:11
Speaker 2: If our governor's election was two years ago, in twenty
1:02:14
Speaker 2: twenty four, the same year that Trump won, there's no
1:02:16
Speaker 2: way that they could make this work. But they think
1:02:17
Speaker 2: that the tides have turned. They think that their society
1:02:20
Speaker 2: is likely to turn out in an off your election
1:02:22
Speaker 2: and so on. So we're going to get either a
1:02:27
Speaker 2: repudiation of this Marxism in Wisconsin or our state will
1:02:32
Speaker 2: be finished with. These people believe in is what the
1:02:38
Speaker 2: people in California believe in. Only worse. Every part of
1:02:41
Speaker 2: California's economy and quality of life is going to hell.
1:02:46
Speaker 2: The Golden State, the dream, the mamas of the Papa
1:02:49
Speaker 2: is California Dream and go west. Everybody's getting out of there.
1:02:55
Speaker 2: It's hellish. Yet the reality is the current governor of California,
1:03:04
Speaker 2: Newsome is nowhere near as far to the left as Hanyas.
1:03:10
Speaker 2: So imagine what we will be and don't give me
1:03:14
Speaker 2: any of this. Oh, it won't be that bad. There's
1:03:22
Speaker 2: no way it won't be that bad. I often when
1:03:27
Speaker 2: I describe something, you know, some idiotic thing in Milwaukee,
1:03:30
Speaker 2: and I've told people, like when the trolley was first
1:03:32
Speaker 2: coming in, I told people unbelievably stupid it was, and
1:03:35
Speaker 2: nobody wanted to believe it. Nobody wanted to believe it.
1:03:37
Speaker 2: Nobody wanted to believe it. And all these people they
1:03:39
Speaker 2: go to down to Milwaukee for sale Bucks game and
1:03:40
Speaker 2: they come to well, I saw this. I can't What
1:03:43
Speaker 2: did you think I was telling you? Didn't you know?
1:03:45
Speaker 2: I go back to my point about hyperbole. I try
1:03:48
Speaker 2: not to engage in hyperbole. Sometimes a joke. It's like
1:03:53
Speaker 2: when I tell people about the bumpholl curves that they
1:03:56
Speaker 2: put on major streets in Milwaukee. They're doing it now
1:03:57
Speaker 2: on Oklahoma Avenue Van Buren is still ground zero for
1:04:01
Speaker 2: traffic insanity. Then people will get in there and they'll
1:04:04
Speaker 2: have to driving on that street and they'll slam into
1:04:06
Speaker 2: the curve, or they'll almost have a head on crash,
1:04:08
Speaker 2: or they don't know where they're supposed to park. And
1:04:10
Speaker 2: you literally have to change lanes every block because some
1:04:13
Speaker 2: of them have left turn lanes and some don't, and
1:04:15
Speaker 2: some of the left turn lane is now the straight
1:04:17
Speaker 2: only lane. To turn right, you off to have to
1:04:19
Speaker 2: go past the middle of the intersection because the bump
1:04:21
Speaker 2: Bull curve is way into the village. People say, I, well,
1:04:24
Speaker 2: I knew you said it was bad, but I didn't
1:04:25
Speaker 2: think it was this bad. Well, the same is going
1:04:27
Speaker 2: to be true if the Marxist controlled the state of Wisconsin.
1:04:31
Speaker 2: You can say, yes, Mark, I agree with you, it's
1:04:33
Speaker 2: going to be bad, and then when it happens and
1:04:34
Speaker 2: it's awful, you'll say, well, gee, I didn't think it
1:04:38
Speaker 2: was going to be that bad. You're listening to the
1:04:41
Speaker 2: Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling Podcast. Now
1:04:48
Speaker 2: that was a very very long segment one, but I
1:04:53
Speaker 2: felt that it needed to be. You know, back when
1:04:56
Speaker 2: I did the old radio show, which ran about three
1:04:58
Speaker 2: hours and twenty five minutes, but with the caveat, we
1:05:01
Speaker 2: were running twenty two minutes of commercial breaks, traffic promos,
1:05:05
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, So it wasn't that
1:05:07
Speaker 2: much my content here. Some of the podcasts are shortest
1:05:10
Speaker 2: fifty five minutes. I think the longest we've been is
1:05:12
Speaker 2: about an hour forty So I don't do the two
1:05:16
Speaker 2: hour discussions that I might have on some issues in
1:05:18
Speaker 2: the past. But remember the hour or so that we
1:05:21
Speaker 2: spent on the first one here that was without interruption.
1:05:24
Speaker 2: But I just felt that this topic of confronting where
1:05:27
Speaker 2: we are and what the threat to our state is
1:05:29
Speaker 2: needs to be done now. And by the way, for
1:05:32
Speaker 2: those of you not aware, the elections underway, voting started
1:05:35
Speaker 2: this past Tuesday. Early voting ends a week from Friday,
1:05:39
Speaker 2: and the actual in person election day is the eleventh,
1:05:42
Speaker 2: which I'm doing this on Thursday, would be twelve days
1:05:45
Speaker 2: from today. All right, let's move on. You're just going
1:05:51
Speaker 2: to have to take my word that I'm not making
1:05:53
Speaker 2: this up, and I think I have enough credibility with
1:05:56
Speaker 2: the audience, and the one thing I have, we have
1:05:59
Speaker 2: some people who listening to me and listen to almost
1:06:01
Speaker 2: every show, they remember stuff I don't remember. I remember
1:06:05
Speaker 2: when you did this, you went on. I have no
1:06:06
Speaker 2: clue as to what they're even talking about, and I
1:06:08
Speaker 2: don't remember talking about it. I don't remember the issue,
1:06:11
Speaker 2: So there will be some people who remember this. Unfortunately,
1:06:14
Speaker 2: my old producer, Paul, was useless on this because he
1:06:17
Speaker 2: has a terrible memory and he forgot things more often
1:06:19
Speaker 2: than I did. The one thing that I always needed
1:06:21
Speaker 2: in a producer is somebody who would remember to tell
1:06:23
Speaker 2: me something that I'll forget to do. Are you good
1:06:25
Speaker 2: at that? Do you remember things like that? Or do
1:06:26
Speaker 2: you like let everything slip your mind? Pretty Paul would
1:06:30
Speaker 2: do things like he would set an alert on his
1:06:32
Speaker 2: phone to remind him to tell me of something, and
1:06:34
Speaker 2: he would end up then like the alert would go
1:06:36
Speaker 2: off and he didn't remember what it was that he
1:06:38
Speaker 2: was supposed to remind me to do, so he might
1:06:40
Speaker 2: not necessarily remember this. I remember it. Remember when the
1:06:44
Speaker 2: roundabouts first were coming in in Wisconsin, Milwaukee didn't have
1:06:48
Speaker 2: the there were The Fox Valley are just the king
1:06:51
Speaker 2: of them. The I believe it was the first one
1:06:56
Speaker 2: in the city itself. There's a very unusual I won't
1:07:01
Speaker 2: even call it an intersection, it's more like an interchange.
1:07:04
Speaker 2: In Milwaukee, the Sixth Street Viaduct, which led into the
1:07:12
Speaker 2: name that was changed the Caesar Chavez Drive, which I
1:07:15
Speaker 2: think they're going to be getting rid of because of
1:07:17
Speaker 2: the problems he's been involved with. As you leave downtown
1:07:20
Speaker 2: Milwaukee and goes south on sixth Street, this would be
1:07:28
Speaker 2: the route that you would take, for example, if you
1:07:31
Speaker 2: wanted to go to the pottawaab Casino when you're coming
1:07:34
Speaker 2: from the east. If you're coming from the west, you
1:07:36
Speaker 2: take a twenty sixth Street down in the Menomine Valley,
1:07:38
Speaker 2: but you'd be taking that route. It's the road that
1:07:41
Speaker 2: the Harley Davidson Museum is on. If you look over
1:07:44
Speaker 2: to the east side. Anyway, if you continue south, it
1:07:48
Speaker 2: moves you into the north edge of the south side
1:07:51
Speaker 2: of Milwaukee. When it was built, this was still what
1:07:54
Speaker 2: still is an overwhelmingly Latino area. It's now a very
1:07:59
Speaker 2: mixed use here. Big hotel went up a number of
1:08:02
Speaker 2: years ago. Oh what's the name of that thing. It's
1:08:04
Speaker 2: the one that's always been in receivership. Iron Horse. The
1:08:09
Speaker 2: Iron Horse Hotel is down there. There's a couple of
1:08:11
Speaker 2: really popular restaurants that are down in that area, but
1:08:14
Speaker 2: where it kind of gets into the south side once
1:08:16
Speaker 2: you've gone over the river. It's not just an interception
1:08:21
Speaker 2: because there's a couple of other like spur roads off
1:08:23
Speaker 2: to the side. One leads to the hotel, and then
1:08:26
Speaker 2: you've got a main drag. I don't know if it's
1:08:27
Speaker 2: National Avenue, but might be Virginia Street. Anyway, it feeds
1:08:33
Speaker 2: into a road that is low traffic, that is not
1:08:36
Speaker 2: set up to be a major thoroughfare, but there's a
1:08:38
Speaker 2: lot of bars and residents. Residents that are alongside at
1:08:42
Speaker 2: restaurants also, and the hotel a little bit to the
1:08:45
Speaker 2: other side. So at the bottom of this thing they
1:08:47
Speaker 2: put in an a roundabout. Now, roundabouts can either work
1:08:51
Speaker 2: or not work. This was just the worst possible place
1:08:56
Speaker 2: to put in a roundabout because you don't just have
1:08:58
Speaker 2: people doing one of You know, you go to a roundabout,
1:09:00
Speaker 2: you're either gonna turn right, go straight through, or go
1:09:04
Speaker 2: all the way around and turn left. There are too
1:09:06
Speaker 2: many different things that you can do in this one,
1:09:08
Speaker 2: and there were different endre points that you could come
1:09:10
Speaker 2: in because you have a couple of extra streets that
1:09:12
Speaker 2: are coming into this in addition to that, as they say,
1:09:14
Speaker 2: there's a big bar scene on the south end of this,
1:09:17
Speaker 2: so some of the people that are coming in are drunk. Anyway,
1:09:21
Speaker 2: when this thing came in, it was about twenty years ago.
1:09:24
Speaker 2: I said, I don't know if I'm gonna be around
1:09:27
Speaker 2: long enough to be able to say I told you so,
1:09:30
Speaker 2: But as sure as I'm sitting here, they're gonna tear
1:09:33
Speaker 2: this thing out. I don't care what you think about roundabouts,
1:09:37
Speaker 2: this will be. And from the beginning, I mean within
1:09:40
Speaker 2: a week, there were recks. There have been wrecks there
1:09:43
Speaker 2: ever since. I think it's the most dangerous intersection in Milwaukee,
1:09:46
Speaker 2: at least in terms of I don't say deadly, danger
1:09:48
Speaker 2: implies deadly. They tend to be more fender benners, because
1:09:51
Speaker 2: nobody's going fast enough through this roundabout in order to
1:09:54
Speaker 2: kill one kill anybody. But there's just lots of wrecks.
1:09:57
Speaker 2: You know. It's one of these roundabouts, two lane things,
1:09:59
Speaker 2: and it's just anybody who's driven through it knows exactly
1:10:04
Speaker 2: what it is that I'm talking about. Roundabouts clearly have
1:10:07
Speaker 2: continued to grow on popularity. There's way more of them
1:10:10
Speaker 2: that there were. Then we've managed to keep most of
1:10:12
Speaker 2: them out of the City of Milwaukee, fortunately, but there's
1:10:14
Speaker 2: a fair number of them in the suburbs and so on.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: But this one, the first one story on js online
1:10:22
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Roundabout could be replaced. Tom Dakin, who was also
1:10:26
Speaker 2: around at the time. The possible worlace of Milwaukee Roundabout
1:10:29
Speaker 2: that's been the site of dozens of car crashes since
1:10:32
Speaker 2: Tenny twenty has seen its funding proposal win a key
1:10:35
Speaker 2: city endorsement. The proposal from Mayor Cavalier Johnson's administration calls
1:10:39
Speaker 2: for spending seventeen point two million dollars in the Red
1:10:41
Speaker 2: Street Yards, Taxicab and Financing District on street work, housing programs,
1:10:47
Speaker 2: and other projects within or near Walker's Point. And then
1:10:49
Speaker 2: they go on to say that one of the things
1:10:50
Speaker 2: that they may do is take out the roundabout and
1:10:53
Speaker 2: replace it with a traditional intersection. Now, for some of
1:10:57
Speaker 2: you saying you never said they take that out twenty
1:11:01
Speaker 2: years ago, I did. And I even said, I don't
1:11:06
Speaker 2: know how long it's gonna take. The one thing about
1:11:08
Speaker 2: idiotic Milwaukee ideas, like the trolley, it takes them forever
1:11:12
Speaker 2: to say uncle and give in. And by the way,
1:11:14
Speaker 2: that was the other one I have said, I said
1:11:17
Speaker 2: long before they put it in. At some point that
1:11:19
Speaker 2: trolley will be taken out and they're gonna rip out
1:11:21
Speaker 2: all the train tracks. I just think it's gonna be
1:11:23
Speaker 2: like this this roundabout. It's gonna take many, many, many
1:11:26
Speaker 2: years before they do it, in which they finally here.
1:11:28
Speaker 2: It's finally going to be some mayor who divorces himself
1:11:30
Speaker 2: in the past and just decides that the operating expenses
1:11:33
Speaker 2: that we're spending to run this trolley for a bunch
1:11:35
Speaker 2: of people who live downtown on the East Side to
1:11:37
Speaker 2: ride around downtown for free is not worth it. All right,
1:11:42
Speaker 2: this story, this story is now a day. It happened
1:11:47
Speaker 2: two days ago and hit the media yesterday game in
1:11:54
Speaker 2: Seattle WNBA game. For those of you who know nothing
1:12:00
Speaker 2: about the WNBA. Other than Caitlin Clark, there's one other polarizing,
1:12:05
Speaker 2: high profile player in that league, and that's Sophie Cunningham.
1:12:09
Speaker 2: The fact that Sophie Cunningham is white is I think,
1:12:12
Speaker 2: in the same way that Caitlyn Clark priggers some people,
1:12:16
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham triggers, although unlike Caitlin, she tries to trigger
1:12:21
Speaker 2: their teammates together in the Indiana Fever, and if somebody
1:12:24
Speaker 2: would crack into Caitlyn Clark, Sophie Cunningham would come in
1:12:27
Speaker 2: and crack you know him saying I got your back.
1:12:28
Speaker 2: She kind of hitch your wag into this thing. She's
1:12:31
Speaker 2: also the one, I mean, she literally became a meme.
1:12:36
Speaker 2: I don't know, five six weeks ago, when did the
1:12:38
Speaker 2: pointing thing happen? Was it longer than that? A little
1:12:41
Speaker 2: over a month ago, there was a player that she
1:12:43
Speaker 2: was scuffling with and so on, and she just points
1:12:46
Speaker 2: at her and it's just like this iconic pose she looked.
1:12:49
Speaker 2: She poised as if she was posing, you know, for
1:12:53
Speaker 2: like a bronze and she's got this look on her
1:12:55
Speaker 2: face like I see you, I see you. So she's
1:13:00
Speaker 2: a very polarizing figure in that traditional fans love her
1:13:09
Speaker 2: and the radical lesbians who control the WNBA can't stand her. Well.
1:13:15
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham a few days ago came out and said
1:13:18
Speaker 2: after the Supreme Court ruling that said that you can
1:13:20
Speaker 2: indeed by on biological men from female sports, she came
1:13:24
Speaker 2: out and said that that was a great thing. So anyway,
1:13:27
Speaker 2: two girls and girls is the right term. The teenage
1:13:29
Speaker 2: Girls show up at this game in Seattle, and they're
1:13:34
Speaker 2: holding signs thanking Sophie Cunningham for standing up for girls.
1:13:39
Speaker 2: They have tickets by the way in the front row,
1:13:42
Speaker 2: and they're holding your signs and they're sitting there. They're
1:13:45
Speaker 2: just sitting. They're holding signs for Sophie Cunningham. Now, I
1:13:49
Speaker 2: don't know how big of a percentage owner she is,
1:13:52
Speaker 2: Like the Milwaukee Bucks have a zillion owners who own
1:13:54
Speaker 2: less than one percent. Like I don't know if he
1:13:57
Speaker 2: still owns his shares, but Aaron Rodgers was one of them,
1:13:59
Speaker 2: a number of bits leaders in Milwaukee. The ownership of
1:14:02
Speaker 2: the Bucks was smart enough to expand the ownership base
1:14:05
Speaker 2: to sell. And by the way, one percent of an
1:14:07
Speaker 2: NBA team is still a huge amount of money. If
1:14:11
Speaker 2: the Bucks are worth I think right now the Bucks
1:14:16
Speaker 2: would be worth They're worth less now with the honest,
1:14:18
Speaker 2: But an NBA franchise, i'd say in the range of
1:14:21
Speaker 2: what would you say, five billion? Yeah? Well, how much
1:14:29
Speaker 2: when before Junior Bridgeman passed away, when he brought into
1:14:32
Speaker 2: a share for the share for the share of the team,
1:14:36
Speaker 2: was it two billion? Was it based on two billion?
1:14:43
Speaker 2: I I the Forbes magazine does these valuations every years,
1:14:47
Speaker 2: and the numbers just keep going up and up and
1:14:49
Speaker 2: up and up and up. I believe that when they
1:14:53
Speaker 2: bought the team from herb Cole, it was what, yeah,
1:15:00
Speaker 2: four point five billion, Okay, yeah, Jason immediately instantly it said,
1:15:03
Speaker 2: my six billion was way off. Okay, probably a little
1:15:05
Speaker 2: bit high for let's say four four and a half billion. Yeah,
1:15:08
Speaker 2: I mean that's just because of the explosion in the
1:15:11
Speaker 2: valuations of sports franchises for all sorts of reasons that
1:15:15
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into here. Well anyway, so like,
1:15:18
Speaker 2: if the Bucks have a one percent owner, that's still
1:15:21
Speaker 2: forty five million dollars. So the Seattle Storm on the WNBA,
1:15:28
Speaker 2: they list this woman as a co owner. I don't
1:15:30
Speaker 2: know if she's like a co owner as in fifteen percent,
1:15:32
Speaker 2: or if she's a co owner that she has like
1:15:34
Speaker 2: one tenth of one percent, like a micro share kind
1:15:37
Speaker 2: of thing. I don't know, but she is a co
1:15:39
Speaker 2: owner of the team. And she went over to these
1:15:42
Speaker 2: two girls that are holding the Sophie Cunning dam thing
1:15:45
Speaker 2: and started a rackas with them, bawling them out, demanding
1:15:55
Speaker 2: to know how they could be so hateful. One of
1:16:01
Speaker 2: the things I point out all the time, and I'm
1:16:03
Speaker 2: gonna put it out again. I think I did it
1:16:05
Speaker 2: in the last podcast. Whenever lefties accuse you of something,
1:16:08
Speaker 2: it's the thing that they do. There are no more
1:16:11
Speaker 2: hateful people in the world than radical leftists, and the
1:16:15
Speaker 2: most hatefield of them are the gender advocates. I just
1:16:18
Speaker 2: think that these are people who all hate their own lives.
1:16:21
Speaker 2: They're all mostly unattractive people. They're bitter about the fact
1:16:25
Speaker 2: that they're unhappy in their life. They've hit a ceiling
1:16:28
Speaker 2: in terms of personal achievement. They're so desperate to do
1:16:32
Speaker 2: something to reverse this miserable and happiness that they start
1:16:34
Speaker 2: taking first prescription medication, then other drugs, and then they
1:16:38
Speaker 2: have to go even farther. Okay, i'm gonna change my gender,
1:16:40
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make my hair pink, I'm gonna do this,
1:16:42
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that, and they're just filled with this
1:16:44
Speaker 2: level of rage and they can't stand people are happy,
1:16:49
Speaker 2: sleek am run around and call those of us on
1:16:50
Speaker 2: the right that we're like hateful people. The hate just
1:16:53
Speaker 2: spews from them, and it would have to speak the
1:16:56
Speaker 2: number of times I've seen some idiot holding a lefty sign.
1:16:59
Speaker 2: I mean you imagine going down and seeing a kid
1:17:01
Speaker 2: holding a lefty sign or something another a sporting event
1:17:03
Speaker 2: or public event and started to scream at rat and
1:17:05
Speaker 2: only this could be done anyway. There's a lengthy story
1:17:09
Speaker 2: on I'll kick on this. I'll kick is I think
1:17:12
Speaker 2: owned by Fox News Now, so they repredited. Seattle Storm
1:17:16
Speaker 2: co owner Celeste Keaton has been fined and suspended from
1:17:20
Speaker 2: attending the team's next five home games. The WNBA confirmed
1:17:24
Speaker 2: a Fox News Digital The suspension in five come after
1:17:28
Speaker 2: Keaton allegedly called a peer of teenage Sophie Cunningham fans
1:17:32
Speaker 2: effing insane during a game on Tuesday. Independent Seattle based
1:17:38
Speaker 2: journalist Brandy Cruz told Fox News Digital Cruise was in
1:17:42
Speaker 2: the arena and accompanied the girls who were there to
1:17:46
Speaker 2: watch Cunningham and the Indiana Fever take on the Storm.
1:17:49
Speaker 2: Now again, the girls are from Seattle, but Indiana. That's
1:17:52
Speaker 2: the team that Sophie Cunningham's on, It's the team that
1:17:54
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark is on, and so on. Cunningham addressed the
1:17:57
Speaker 2: incident involving Keaton in an ex repost to Fox News
1:18:01
Speaker 2: Digitals report late Wednesday night. So Fox News reported, Okay,
1:18:04
Speaker 2: they did this, and then Sophie Cunningham reposts it on
1:18:07
Speaker 2: her account and says that she stands in solidarity with
1:18:10
Speaker 2: the girls. Since then, numerous other commentators have weighed in. JK. Rowling,
1:18:19
Speaker 2: that's the Harry Potter author. She's inflamed people on the left. Also,
1:18:24
Speaker 2: she is somebody who is a strong defender of women's
1:18:28
Speaker 2: rights and therefore an opponent of fake women competing against women.
1:18:32
Speaker 2: J K Rowling posting on x these young women are heroines.
1:18:37
Speaker 2: They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing
1:18:42
Speaker 2: in women's sports. The only people who are effing insane
1:18:46
Speaker 2: And she puts it all in there except the you
1:18:49
Speaker 2: here are those making a mockery a fair sport for
1:18:53
Speaker 2: women and trying to bully girls like this into silence.
1:18:58
Speaker 2: Riley gains the who's become the champion of the rights
1:19:01
Speaker 2: of women athletes to be free from competing against males
1:19:05
Speaker 2: posted as well, and a number of the other posts
1:19:08
Speaker 2: here came in. Now let's take the super woman. See
1:19:12
Speaker 2: you got this belligerent lefty who's like the co owner,
1:19:15
Speaker 2: and I'm granting you my guess is she's a marginal
1:19:17
Speaker 2: co owner. She's probably just a loudmouth in Seattle, and
1:19:20
Speaker 2: NBA franchises until a few years ago were worth almost nothing,
1:19:23
Speaker 2: so the envy point to get into this thing probably
1:19:26
Speaker 2: wasn't too great. But she sees these two girls and
1:19:28
Speaker 2: they're sitting there, and you know, there's Sophie kind of
1:19:31
Speaker 2: and they're just they look exactly like nice, polite, well
1:19:34
Speaker 2: raised girls. And one of the things, thanks for standing
1:19:37
Speaker 2: up for a Sophie. The position that these girls hold
1:19:41
Speaker 2: is a majority position in the United States of America.
1:19:45
Speaker 2: Fake women should not be competing in women and fake
1:19:47
Speaker 2: girls should not be competing in fake girls sports. So
1:19:50
Speaker 2: this quarter, she's at a game. It's in public, and
1:19:53
Speaker 2: there's a guy sitting next to these girls. He's this
1:19:55
Speaker 2: independent journalist, meaning probably one of these conservative people who
1:19:58
Speaker 2: do stuff, and she goes over and uses the F
1:20:02
Speaker 2: bomb in telling them off. How do you not control yourself?
1:20:10
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier about the number of people who screwed
1:20:12
Speaker 2: up their lives. They're posting on it. You have to
1:20:14
Speaker 2: show some level of restrain. But I know why it happens.
1:20:17
Speaker 2: On X people get heated up. They're sitting at their computer,
1:20:20
Speaker 2: they're not in their own room, and they say something
1:20:22
Speaker 2: that they probably never would say aloud. This woman was
1:20:25
Speaker 2: in full public. These girls are sitting in the front row.
1:20:27
Speaker 2: Any number of people could have heard them. The thing is,
1:20:30
Speaker 2: she was so triggered, she's so enraged, she's so hate filled,
1:20:36
Speaker 2: that in her instance, it basically had to come out.
1:20:43
Speaker 2: And one final example of this point that I make
1:20:47
Speaker 2: about whenever the left accuses the right of something, it's
1:20:52
Speaker 2: the thing that they are doing. This isn't tied to
1:20:56
Speaker 2: any particular thing in the news, other than at some
1:20:58
Speaker 2: point I may need to use example. So let's do
1:21:01
Speaker 2: it right now. The continuing reference to Israel practicing genocide
1:21:09
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. The only genocide that's going on
1:21:15
Speaker 2: there are the people that are trying to wipe out
1:21:17
Speaker 2: the Jews. At Israel genocide. Take a look at the
1:21:23
Speaker 2: map of northern Africa, the western Mediterranean area, and then
1:21:31
Speaker 2: moving into the Middle East. You could go take the
1:21:36
Speaker 2: entire north rim of Africa, and then a chunk I
1:21:42
Speaker 2: said western, I meant to say eastern, the eastern edge
1:21:44
Speaker 2: of the Mediterranean, Turkey, and so on, moving then down
1:21:47
Speaker 2: into the Middle East and then moving over to Iraq, Iran,
1:21:51
Speaker 2: ending up saying Afghanistan. I continue this point by going
1:21:54
Speaker 2: to Pakistan, but let's just confine it to the Middle
1:21:57
Speaker 2: East and then the Persian area North Africa. It's entirely
1:22:03
Speaker 2: Muslim is Israel trying to wipe out a single one
1:22:08
Speaker 2: of those Muslims in the hundreds of thousands, millions of
1:22:12
Speaker 2: square miles surrounding it. Then there's this tiny little sliver
1:22:16
Speaker 2: igmittedly it's on water, and it's historically significant and religiously significant.
1:22:22
Speaker 2: That's what Israel has, and they don't want them there.
1:22:28
Speaker 2: Israel then say, okay, we're gonna branch off portions here
1:22:33
Speaker 2: of Israel and they're gonna be governed by you Palestinians.
1:22:40
Speaker 2: And that isn't good enough. So tell me who's practicing
1:22:44
Speaker 2: genocide Hamas and Hesbela, who funds them? Iran largely right,
1:22:53
Speaker 2: Iran is nowhere near Israel. For those of you who've
1:22:57
Speaker 2: never looked at a globe or a map in your life,
1:22:59
Speaker 2: I mean, Iran is way over there to the east.
1:23:02
Speaker 2: You got to go past Iraq to get to Iran.
1:23:06
Speaker 2: Iran is nowhere near Israel, nowhere at all. Iran technically,
1:23:12
Speaker 2: people argue about whether or not they're not Arab. Broadly speaking,
1:23:16
Speaker 2: it's the Middle East, but it's Persian, it's not even Arab,
1:23:19
Speaker 2: It's not even considered part of the broad term of Arabia.
1:23:24
Speaker 2: Why is Iran funding an organization that wants to kill
1:23:28
Speaker 2: all of the Jews in Israel? That's what genocide is.
1:23:33
Speaker 2: The only people advocating genocide are the critics of Israel.
1:23:37
Speaker 2: There is almost zero Jewish population in the entire Middle East,
1:23:43
Speaker 2: Northern Africa, eastern chunk of Europe, along the Mediterranean, the
1:23:48
Speaker 2: areas of Turkey and so on, and then all the
1:23:50
Speaker 2: way over to Iran. The only areas where you're going
1:23:54
Speaker 2: to find any Jews is when you start to get
1:23:56
Speaker 2: Jews of any kind of significant number is when you
1:23:59
Speaker 2: move into Russia, which should be continuing going in that
1:24:03
Speaker 2: direction to the east, but then also ratcheting up north. Otherwise,
1:24:07
Speaker 2: it's almost entirely devoid of Jews other than this tiny
1:24:10
Speaker 2: little area. And throughout the time that the current era
1:24:15
Speaker 2: of Israel has begun in forty six and forty seven,
1:24:18
Speaker 2: there's been no attempt by the Israelis to take any
1:24:20
Speaker 2: of that land anywhere outside of their sliver. And there's
1:24:25
Speaker 2: been an obsession with Muslims that have surrounded Israel through
1:24:30
Speaker 2: this entire vast area to kill every last one of
1:24:33
Speaker 2: them and not allow them to have any portion of this. Well,
1:24:37
Speaker 2: if that's not a genocide, what is a genocide? Wiping
1:24:41
Speaker 2: out the only remaining Jews in this entire huge swath
1:24:44
Speaker 2: of land in that portion of the world. So every
1:24:50
Speaker 2: time they use a term accusing somebody that they don't
1:24:53
Speaker 2: agree with is something I'm just telling you that will
1:24:55
Speaker 2: be the thing that they're engaging in, the thing that
1:24:57
Speaker 2: they were doing, you know, fouch taking the fifths people
1:25:03
Speaker 2: who were questioned just some question just questioning in other
1:25:06
Speaker 2: cases advocating different approaches than the one that was being taken.
1:25:09
Speaker 2: During the era of COVID, we were call accused of
1:25:14
Speaker 2: spreading disinformation and lying. Who was accusing us of this?
1:25:19
Speaker 2: Fauci and his supporters. Who do we now know was
1:25:22
Speaker 2: spreading disinformation and lying? Fauci to the point that he
1:25:26
Speaker 2: can't even repeat anything he believed. Then he had two
1:25:31
Speaker 2: choices in front of his testimony yesterday. He could tell
1:25:35
Speaker 2: the truth, which is the something that was put in
1:25:37
Speaker 2: his diary, which means he would be acknowledging that he
1:25:39
Speaker 2: was lying his way all the way through COVID. Well,
1:25:43
Speaker 2: he's desperately propping up his reputation, so he can't do that,
1:25:48
Speaker 2: or he can just start lying again. Here's the thing.
1:25:52
Speaker 2: He was pardoned by Biden. But again this has never
1:25:58
Speaker 2: really been tested. No one really knows if you can
1:26:00
Speaker 2: pardon someone for something you didn't yet do so if
1:26:03
Speaker 2: Fauci starts under oath telling new lies. I think Fauci's
1:26:09
Speaker 2: lawyers were concerned that Biden's pardon would not cover him
1:26:12
Speaker 2: for the perjury he would tell there so he had
1:26:15
Speaker 2: to take the fifth. Fauci and his ILK were the
1:26:19
Speaker 2: ones accusing the rest of us of spreading misinformation for
1:26:22
Speaker 2: simply asking questions, and as it turns out, the misinformation
1:26:26
Speaker 2: of the line was coming from him and his supporters.
1:26:31
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Mark Belling podcast. Are we setting
1:26:37
Speaker 2: the record? Jason? Is this going to be the longest one? Oh,
1:26:40
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not even approaching it. Then it's just
1:26:42
Speaker 2: a regular, old, longer version of the podcast. I have
1:26:45
Speaker 2: two more topics. First, have to get to this. There
1:26:47
Speaker 2: is a long interview published in the prediction of the
1:26:52
Speaker 2: Journal Sentinel and also online a GS online with Bud Sealing. Now,
1:26:59
Speaker 2: the prediction of the PA is just there's no way
1:27:03
Speaker 2: it makes it to twenty thirty, I don't even know
1:27:05
Speaker 2: if it'll make it to twenty twenty eight. They clearly
1:27:07
Speaker 2: don't want to do it. What they do is they take,
1:27:09
Speaker 2: but you know, they print the thing. Every story in
1:27:13
Speaker 2: there is at least a day and a half old,
1:27:14
Speaker 2: and some are more than two days old. They just
1:27:16
Speaker 2: grab some stuff that they post it online and slap
1:27:19
Speaker 2: it into the newspaper and hand it out to the
1:27:20
Speaker 2: people that still get it. But this interview that they
1:27:23
Speaker 2: did with Bud Seiling, and I know what they put
1:27:24
Speaker 2: it in there. In addition, Bud doesn't talk to many
1:27:26
Speaker 2: people anymore. He's now ninety two, and he did a
1:27:32
Speaker 2: lengthy interview, and the reporter asked him just about a
1:27:35
Speaker 2: lot of things, including the current state of baseball. First
1:27:38
Speaker 2: of all, the good news on this. I personally have
1:27:41
Speaker 2: not seen Bud in several years, nor have I talked
1:27:43
Speaker 2: to him, And I'm just wondering was he taking a
1:27:46
Speaker 2: lower profile because of the age he's starting to lose it?
1:27:49
Speaker 2: Based on this interview, He's on top of everything. I mean,
1:27:53
Speaker 2: he was very specific and very precise. He talked about
1:27:55
Speaker 2: the current day Brewers, talked about individual rules that are
1:27:57
Speaker 2: going on and so on. He appears to be mentally
1:28:01
Speaker 2: as sharp as ever. Secondly, the piece, even in print,
1:28:06
Speaker 2: goes on and on and on and on and on
1:28:09
Speaker 2: and on and on. Yeah, I'm sure you don't read
1:28:10
Speaker 2: prent editions of newspapers anymore, do you. Well, it's like
1:28:13
Speaker 2: two pages of this. It just went on forever. I
1:28:18
Speaker 2: know exactly why that's the case. In all my years
1:28:24
Speaker 2: of interviewing prominent people, politicians, sports figures, edity, whatever it is,
1:28:29
Speaker 2: I am telling you there is nobody, nobody ever who
1:28:34
Speaker 2: can filibuster, harangue and go on and on in response
1:28:37
Speaker 2: to a single question than Bud Ceiling. I mean his
1:28:43
Speaker 2: strength as the commissioner of baseball, and his strength as
1:28:46
Speaker 2: the owner of the Brewers, when he fought so many
1:28:48
Speaker 2: years to get the new stadium, and then in baseball,
1:28:50
Speaker 2: when he fought so many years for the collective marketing,
1:28:52
Speaker 2: he fought so many years for this and this, He's
1:28:54
Speaker 2: just ultimately wears you down. He's relentless, he never gives up.
1:29:00
Speaker 2: The downside to him is everything happens very slowly with
1:29:05
Speaker 2: Bud because his style is methodical and plotting. But his
1:29:09
Speaker 2: strength is he will simply wear you down. Here's my story.
1:29:16
Speaker 2: Back when I was in Madison for three years, I
1:29:19
Speaker 2: worked at at a radio station. At every title there
1:29:22
Speaker 2: was a talk show host. I was the news director,
1:29:23
Speaker 2: I was the program director. And one of the things
1:29:26
Speaker 2: that I did is I wrote the station's editorials. They
1:29:31
Speaker 2: were commentaries that I voiced. They weren't so much editorials
1:29:36
Speaker 2: as they were a commentary. And back in those days
1:29:39
Speaker 2: in radio, if you criticized someone's position, there was still
1:29:43
Speaker 2: the It wasn't the equal time provision, it was the
1:29:45
Speaker 2: Fairness Doctor and it was still in place in the
1:29:47
Speaker 2: FCC and you had to I don't remember if it
1:29:50
Speaker 2: was still a required of law, but it was a
1:29:51
Speaker 2: policy of our company that if we criticized someone, we
1:29:54
Speaker 2: would send them a copy so that they didn't have
1:29:55
Speaker 2: to hear secondhand. What it was that if I took
1:29:58
Speaker 2: a criticized anybody's position, said a critical thing, we would
1:30:01
Speaker 2: have to send them a copy and we would give
1:30:02
Speaker 2: them a chance to come into the studio and do
1:30:04
Speaker 2: a rebuttal. This was back at the time in which
1:30:12
Speaker 2: I just this is second time I've mentioned Tony Earl,
1:30:14
Speaker 2: governor in the nineteen eighties of Wisconsin on the program
1:30:17
Speaker 2: Tony Earl wanted to build a state prison next to
1:30:20
Speaker 2: the old County Stadium. There wasn't anything there. There's still
1:30:23
Speaker 2: not much of anything there. He wanted to build it
1:30:26
Speaker 2: on the other side of the interstate and some of
1:30:28
Speaker 2: the totally abandoned land, much of which is you know,
1:30:31
Speaker 2: as you go farther over, a lot of that has
1:30:33
Speaker 2: been built up. Potawatabe is in, their Palermos is in.
1:30:35
Speaker 2: There are lots of other things that were in there,
1:30:37
Speaker 2: but it was just abandoned a lot at the time.
1:30:38
Speaker 2: And this was during the time in which people like
1:30:41
Speaker 2: me were adamant that we had to build more prisons.
1:30:45
Speaker 2: Prime was in the eighties really really bad, and the
1:30:47
Speaker 2: prison system was terribly under built. We simply didn't have
1:30:51
Speaker 2: places for all these crooks. And we went on to build,
1:30:53
Speaker 2: especially Tommy Thompson, here are several major prisons. The Supermax
1:30:57
Speaker 2: was built, and so on. We built quite a few prisons. Anyway,
1:31:00
Speaker 2: one of the proposals for a new prison site was
1:31:02
Speaker 2: he wanted to put it next to County Stadium. And
1:31:05
Speaker 2: I went on and I did an editorial saying, just
1:31:07
Speaker 2: get it done, put it there. I didn't care where
1:31:11
Speaker 2: it was built. I just wanted it built, and Tony
1:31:14
Speaker 2: Earl's position was is that a lot of people from
1:31:17
Speaker 2: Milwaukee were demanding a Milwaukee prison because it was such
1:31:21
Speaker 2: so difficult to go and visit family members, since none
1:31:24
Speaker 2: of our prisons other than at the time, I think
1:31:27
Speaker 2: the Racine prison was the close I think that was
1:31:30
Speaker 2: built by that time. Maybe it wasn't. They were having
1:31:32
Speaker 2: to go to a pond or green Band or all
1:31:34
Speaker 2: these fireway places. So there's some support from Milwaukee level prison. Also,
1:31:39
Speaker 2: prisons are a lot of high paying jobs and so on,
1:31:41
Speaker 2: so some people advocated this and this is where Tony
1:31:43
Speaker 2: Earl wanted to put it, and Bud Seily was just opposed.
1:31:47
Speaker 2: Sarah wrote this position, just go ahead and do it,
1:31:52
Speaker 2: and we sent a copy off to but you know,
1:31:53
Speaker 2: we sent it to the Brewers. My phone rings in
1:31:58
Speaker 2: my office. It's Bud ceiling this before I came home.
1:32:00
Speaker 2: When I was amassed, I was like a nobody. I
1:32:03
Speaker 2: mean I was sort of well known there. I mean
1:32:05
Speaker 2: I had a newspaper column in the cap Times. The
1:32:07
Speaker 2: radio station that we had was didn't have a large listenership,
1:32:10
Speaker 2: but it was right after RUSHLM Bus started and you know,
1:32:13
Speaker 2: it's enough that I got the attention to the people
1:32:15
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, you know, to hire me and come over here.
1:32:17
Speaker 2: But I mean, it's not like I was a big
1:32:19
Speaker 2: deal in the state of Wisconsin at that point. But
1:32:22
Speaker 2: Sally calls me on the phone after reading this thing.
1:32:26
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how I'm telling you though. It
1:32:28
Speaker 2: was at least ninety minutes, and I might have said
1:32:31
Speaker 2: two sentences. He kept telling and he had all the
1:32:36
Speaker 2: reasons for those of you. Remember the issue. This is
1:32:39
Speaker 2: going to scare people away from going to the ballpark.
1:32:40
Speaker 2: We can't have a prison next to us. The safety
1:32:43
Speaker 2: of the fans of the of the Milwaukee Brewers, My
1:32:45
Speaker 2: number one prior to ourity market is to protect the franchise.
1:32:48
Speaker 2: My retort to all of this is, Bud, they're in
1:32:50
Speaker 2: the prison. They're not going to be able to walk
1:32:52
Speaker 2: out and go over to the parking lot. When's the
1:32:54
Speaker 2: last time somebody busted out a wa pond. People do
1:32:57
Speaker 2: bust out of the state maximum security prisons, but it's
1:32:59
Speaker 2: very rare. It's gonna be the most secure place that
1:33:02
Speaker 2: there is. It's not even like the Milwaukee County jail
1:33:06
Speaker 2: where people get released every day. But he was just
1:33:10
Speaker 2: he would not have it. And during all this I
1:33:14
Speaker 2: kept saying, well, Bud, you know you can record a rebuttal,
1:33:17
Speaker 2: and you can record it and have your your people
1:33:18
Speaker 2: do it in Milwaukee and send a tape of it
1:33:21
Speaker 2: over to us in Madison, and I'll play the rebuttal.
1:33:23
Speaker 2: I'll play the rebuttal. And I'm mostly just trying to
1:33:25
Speaker 2: get him off the horn. And he didn't want to
1:33:27
Speaker 2: do that. He said, I don't want to do that.
1:33:29
Speaker 2: And then he started explaining again, and I realized why
1:33:32
Speaker 2: it was that he was on the phone with me
1:33:34
Speaker 2: for so long. He wanted to convince me that I
1:33:37
Speaker 2: was wrong. Why did he care what my position was.
1:33:45
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna swear any change in state political position,
1:33:48
Speaker 2: and this it was just so important for Bud sealing
1:33:51
Speaker 2: that I understood. Mark. You don't understand. You don't understand,
1:33:54
Speaker 2: you don't understand. As they say, he was just relentless.
1:33:57
Speaker 2: It's just one of the reasons I just I went
1:33:58
Speaker 2: on to like you so wentdeering and even when you
1:34:02
Speaker 2: oppose some of the things that were happening with the
1:34:03
Speaker 2: Brewer team, or if you didn't support the notion of
1:34:05
Speaker 2: building a new stadium, he just was the most persisted, unwaved.
1:34:10
Speaker 2: He just kept pounding and pounding and pounding away. And
1:34:15
Speaker 2: the reality is, were it not for Bud sei Leg,
1:34:18
Speaker 2: the face of especially in Milwaukee, but the state of
1:34:20
Speaker 2: Wisconsin would be different. We would not have had mas
1:34:23
Speaker 2: Ajor League Baseball after the Braves left in nineteen sixty six.
1:34:26
Speaker 2: Had it not been for Bud Sea League, we would
1:34:28
Speaker 2: not have kept the team after the Brewers got here.
1:34:30
Speaker 2: We would not have gotten a new stadium. None of
1:34:32
Speaker 2: those things would have happened were it not for the
1:34:34
Speaker 2: fact that Bud's Sea League was alive. He had partners
1:34:36
Speaker 2: who pursued the new It was always Bud. He was
1:34:39
Speaker 2: always the number one guy, the guy that was leading
1:34:42
Speaker 2: to this. And now one final topic. I'm here to
1:34:46
Speaker 2: tell you one of them. I'm not saying all of it.
1:34:49
Speaker 2: One of the problems at current country music. Now I'll
1:34:53
Speaker 2: give you my other big problem. There's just I think
1:34:57
Speaker 2: that there's a sameness to country music, and I don't
1:35:01
Speaker 2: listen to it as much as I used to. Impart,
1:35:04
Speaker 2: I don't recognize that all the girl singers to me
1:35:08
Speaker 2: sound the same. Two or three stand out all the guys.
1:35:11
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just as big a deal as Luke
1:35:15
Speaker 2: Bryan is, his music sounds very much like that of
1:35:20
Speaker 2: about fifteen or twenty or twenty five other country superstars.
1:35:24
Speaker 2: There isn't the kind of individuality that there was in
1:35:28
Speaker 2: the past. You know, Johnny Cash sounded nothing like Wayal
1:35:32
Speaker 2: and Nelson. Merle Haggard sounded nothing like Buck Owen's the
1:35:38
Speaker 2: band Alabama. I had nothing in common with, say, Dolly Parton.
1:35:43
Speaker 2: Loretta Lynn was not much like Barbara Mandreul. I'm just
1:35:46
Speaker 2: using examples. There was just a level of differentiation. It's
1:35:51
Speaker 2: just to be more homogenized now than it ought to be.
1:35:55
Speaker 2: But that's not the one I'm on. I just wanted
1:35:57
Speaker 2: to go that way out there. There was a story
1:36:01
Speaker 2: that I see scrolling across the news today that brought
1:36:04
Speaker 2: this home. I think country music stars have gotten too nice.
1:36:10
Speaker 2: I mean, when did they all sit they're so nice.
1:36:15
Speaker 2: Back in the era that I was paying attention to
1:36:17
Speaker 2: country music, a good half of them were total jackasses
1:36:21
Speaker 2: and had complete edges on the first of all, most
1:36:24
Speaker 2: of them were drunk. A lot of them had like
1:36:27
Speaker 2: wild eyed looks on their faces. I mean even Buck Owens,
1:36:31
Speaker 2: he had these beady eyes that were like man buck
1:36:34
Speaker 2: Owens was a blonde Charlie Manson. Buck Owens, you know,
1:36:37
Speaker 2: is wearing the country Garbo out there and he do
1:36:38
Speaker 2: the Baker's Field sound kind of stuff. But if you
1:36:40
Speaker 2: looked at his eyes and glaring eyes, Merle Haggard, you know,
1:36:47
Speaker 2: just had this look like he was gonna kill you.
1:36:49
Speaker 2: Johnny Cash, I mean you actually thought he was gonna
1:36:52
Speaker 2: kill you. He's wearing the black and he's got that
1:36:53
Speaker 2: sneer weird Megan Maroney, who by the way, is very good.
1:37:00
Speaker 2: Do you know anything about country music? You do? My
1:37:02
Speaker 2: last producer, Paul didn't want to listen to any of
1:37:05
Speaker 2: it ever. He just was just a bigot when it
1:37:07
Speaker 2: came to it. Megaarronie's a big deal. She was doing
1:37:11
Speaker 2: a concert Tuesday night and she started to perform and
1:37:28
Speaker 2: she was clearly struggling. She started to cry and told
1:37:34
Speaker 2: the audience, I'm trying really hard. I can't do it.
1:37:37
Speaker 2: I'm just sick. I apologize. I came out here, I
1:37:40
Speaker 2: pushed myself as hard as I possibly can. I just
1:37:43
Speaker 2: can't get through it. I guarantee you we are going
1:37:46
Speaker 2: to come back and reschedule this, and I guarantee that
1:37:49
Speaker 2: all of you have your tickets, are going to be
1:37:50
Speaker 2: able to come and see the next one. I feel
1:37:52
Speaker 2: so terrible. And the audience wasn't even like it wasn't
1:37:56
Speaker 2: like a rock audience booing in that hissing. They were
1:37:58
Speaker 2: so supportive because you could see that this was killing her.
1:38:06
Speaker 2: So this is what country music is right now. If
1:38:09
Speaker 2: somebody can't perform a show, they are sincerely distraught over
1:38:13
Speaker 2: this and they tearfully apologize to their audience. I remember
1:38:17
Speaker 2: George Jones half the time he would not show up.
1:38:21
Speaker 2: In fact, that's not even an exaggeration. His nickname became
1:38:24
Speaker 2: No Show Jones. George Jones, who's one of the greatest
1:38:27
Speaker 2: voices in the history of country music. A lot of
1:38:29
Speaker 2: people think he stopped Loving her Today was the greatest
1:38:32
Speaker 2: country song of all time way back when on the
1:38:34
Speaker 2: old radio show, I did a list of it's one
1:38:36
Speaker 2: of these five, but I never settled on a five.
1:38:38
Speaker 2: But that was one of the five that's in there. Anyway.
1:38:43
Speaker 2: George Jones was an absolute drunk, and everybody who ever
1:38:47
Speaker 2: worked with him said that he was simply a deal.
1:38:49
Speaker 2: It was just a man possessed by a demon. He
1:38:51
Speaker 2: had a mean streak and a wild streak. He didn't
1:38:54
Speaker 2: show up for his concerts. He'd be barking and balling
1:38:56
Speaker 2: out the audience. He was just an impossible human being
1:39:02
Speaker 2: to be able to deal with. And he was a
1:39:03
Speaker 2: superstar and people loved him. That was just part of
1:39:06
Speaker 2: the deal that if you're gonna be you know, if
1:39:07
Speaker 2: you're gonna be a fan of country music, the person's
1:39:10
Speaker 2: gonna be a rabble rouser and something of a jerk. Now,
1:39:12
Speaker 2: they weren't all that way. Dolly Parton was as nice
1:39:15
Speaker 2: as somebody could be always, and Barbara Mondreul was nice.
1:39:19
Speaker 2: That a lot of the women were fairly nice. But
1:39:21
Speaker 2: almost all the guys had this outlaw well, the the
1:39:24
Speaker 2: outlaw persona, the I mean it became a term Whylon
1:39:27
Speaker 2: Jennings and even Willie who was part of that. They
1:39:29
Speaker 2: were like outlaws. There were gad guys. It was rebellious stuff.
1:39:34
Speaker 2: You get this with a couple of the male stars,
1:39:36
Speaker 2: some of whom are superstars, the ones that refuse to
1:39:41
Speaker 2: become politically correct. And you know, Morgan, I was gonna
1:39:47
Speaker 2: say Waller, it's wallet, isn't it. You know, he's one
1:39:51
Speaker 2: of them, And I mean that would be somebody that
1:39:52
Speaker 2: would be branching away from just this nice aty nice
1:39:54
Speaker 2: nice and have an actual edge to him. But I mean,
1:39:57
Speaker 2: I think it's very very nice that Megan Rony went
1:39:59
Speaker 2: out there cried, and I can imagine that dilemma is
1:40:02
Speaker 2: somebody who's had to miss a couple of shows because
1:40:04
Speaker 2: I was too sick or didn't have a good enough voice.
1:40:05
Speaker 2: I mean, you do want to try to do it.
1:40:08
Speaker 2: On the other hand, you don't want to put on
1:40:10
Speaker 2: such a terrible show because you don't have a voice.
1:40:13
Speaker 2: You're so frail that you can't go and do the
1:40:14
Speaker 2: stuff that you want in which people are seeing a
1:40:17
Speaker 2: cut ray version of yourself. And she apparently tried to
1:40:19
Speaker 2: push herself forward to do it and she couldn't do
1:40:21
Speaker 2: it and cancel the show and apologized like crazy. Who's
1:40:27
Speaker 2: the most badass woman? I mentioned a lot of the
1:40:30
Speaker 2: guys back in the day in country music, who is
1:40:32
Speaker 2: a woman that was? I mean, they said that Patsy
1:40:36
Speaker 2: Klein had an interesting streak to her, but she died
1:40:38
Speaker 2: so early that she didn't live long enough to I mean,
1:40:41
Speaker 2: Loretta Lynn always had a lot of drama around her.
1:40:43
Speaker 2: Cammy went at it even more. The weird thing about
1:40:45
Speaker 2: is Loretta Lynn did. She must have done twenty songs
1:40:52
Speaker 2: about divorce, yet she stayed married to that same guy forever.
1:40:58
Speaker 2: And who's the one that did stand by your man?
1:41:00
Speaker 2: Tammy Wynette. She was married at brillion times, by the way,
1:41:03
Speaker 2: including to George Jones. So that was one of those
1:41:07
Speaker 2: deal was going back to my point about whatever democrats
1:41:08
Speaker 2: accuse you of. Like the country singers that would always
1:41:12
Speaker 2: sing about hell Raisin and all of that stuff, they
1:41:15
Speaker 2: were the ones that were actually quiet and decent enough
1:41:17
Speaker 2: lives and the ones that talked about being the traditional
1:41:19
Speaker 2: good old mom and all of that stuff. They were
1:41:21
Speaker 2: the ones that were out there and living their lives
1:41:24
Speaker 2: like they're swirling tornadoes. All right, that's it for this week.
