  Speaker 2: Just when you think our society couldn't get any sicker,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: there's this story. A woman strangles her three young children,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: they're all under six, to death, and mothers pack the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: cordos and pack forums online defending her. She's the victim.

  Speaker 2: As I said, you think we couldn't get any more
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: sick than we already were, But than this phenomenon, there
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: are people in our society who hate ice, law enforcement
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: agents trying to follow orders, but they defend this woman
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: who killed her three babies. Now I can't explain everything
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in this world. I wish I could, but I can
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: explain this, So we're going to try here in just

  Speaker 2: Visit you line dot com. The woman's name is Lindsey Clancy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: This is one of those stories that you're either following
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it or you're not. I don't think that they're too
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: many people that are casually following it. That's true a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: lot of these true crime stories. The difference though, in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: this one is it's not a mystery as to whether
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: or not the person is guilty. In a lot of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: these trials that attract massive media attention, there's someone who's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: accused of claims that they didn't do it, and lots
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: of people will watch, usually the overwhelming majority of a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: strong opinion. But this is different. She'd admit she did it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, this woman from Massachusetts strangled her
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: three children. Now, I said, which is a podcast? Last week?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It might have been the Thursday podcast. It might have
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: been the last one of the week. If not, it
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was a different one. What do you do if you've
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: killed somebody and you're just absolutely dead to rights, your
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: totally the evidence is totally against you have only one defense,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and that is claim here claim insanity. It's the last
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: resort for the guiltiest of people. And in this instance,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: this is what Lindsay Clancy and a lawyer are doing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: They're pleading insanity. Now, this usually does it work because
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: juries usually see through it. Not always. As I said
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: last week, I mean, I think there are probably a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: few people that actually are so insane they don't know
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what they're doing is wrong. I think that that is
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: less than one percent of the people who claim the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: insanity defense. The reason I know this is I think
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: right now more mental illness in this country than ever before.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you test that. It just sure
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: seems to me that we have a lot more people
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that are mentally ill now than say, fifty years ago.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would dispute that. Yet we don't
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: have hardly any of those people killing people. I mean,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we have people that are severely bipolar, paranoid, schizophrenics, numerous
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: other really bad mental illnesses, yet almost never do they
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: kill anyone. Being mentally ill, including severely mentally ill, doesn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: wipe out your moral compass. If it did, the people
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: who are mentally ill would be as depraved as the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Latin American drug cartells, they're not. So I think if
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: there is a place for the insanity defense, it can
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: only be for people that are so beyond that they
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: are lately out of it. And to me, one of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the tests is what do they do to conceal it?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: If they did anything to cover it up, it would
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: sure indicate to me that they knew what they were
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: doing was wrong. Anyway, let's go back to Lindsay Clancy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So again she's using the insanity defense, which in and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of itself is not surprising. What else is she supposed
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to go with? The twist on the story is every
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: day you've got these women sick o, primarily millennial age women,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: showing up at the courtroom there in her defense and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: posting online that she's actually the victim. Now, before I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: discuss this, I'll give you what the rationale is. They
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: say that she had postpartum depression, apparently from the birth
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of the youngest child, and she was overwhelmed, Right, three
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: kids under six? Overwhelmed? Well, no kidding, I'm guessing that'd
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: be kind of overwhelming, wouldn't you say, I've had zero kids?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Do you understand how many women in the history of
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: our society have had three kids six and under. I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: grew up in the Fox Valley during the baby boom.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It's a Catholic area. This is like all the moms
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like when we breed horses. How do the moms know?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: How do the moms and dads know it is that
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: time to have another kid? She just popped one out
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: there we go. I don't know how they did it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I know people who have three cats. I have no
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: idea how they take care of them all. So, yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's overwhelming. So what if it was that hard to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: deal with? This would happen all the time. The reason
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the story's getting a lot of attention is it is rare.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: What though, is especially rare is the people that are
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: defending her. That's new. In all my years of commenting
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: on things, I can't I'm not saying that it hasn't happened.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I can't think of a case of a parent who
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: killed their children they actually had support from sizeable numbers
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of the population. And again, maybe I'm forgetting a case.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I forget things all the time. This seems to be
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to be a new thing. I think first of all,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's generational. She's thirty six. That means she's not a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Z She's a millennial. And if we know anything about
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the millennials, they think everything they're facing nobody else has
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: ever faced before. They think they haven't harder than anybody
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: else in the history of the world. In fact, that generation,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I would say even more so than the z's, who
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: have some challenge. I think the millennials have it easier
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: than any other generation in human history. I really do.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: They have more support systems. The social welfare state has
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: never been greater in terms of a young mother here.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I mean we have daycare centers and childcare credits and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: all sorts of tax assistants and we all this stuff.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: My mother didn't have three at six surrender at a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: time there was a gap. I think I think seven seventh, Yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: me number one and the number three. I was seven
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: as close. But again, look around our neighborhood. There's one
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: kid in the seventh grade, one kid in the sixth grade,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one kid in the fifth grade, one kid in the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: fourth grade, twins in the third grade, another kid of
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the I mean, this happened all the time, and yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's really, really, really hard. So the support
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: here that's coming, first of all, millennials, they're always so overwhelmed.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: This was the first generation that was just scared to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: death of life. The fact that they listened to Ed
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Sheeran tells you everything you need to know. Their whole
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: rock and roll, it's not even rock and roll. Their
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: whole pop music was this whiny ass stuff. Never mind,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I know so much for Steven Tyler and the macho
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: guys singing him, belting out and screaming. It was this whining,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: pussy ish complaining. Oh I'm it's a whole generation, so
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: part of it is it comes out of that, so
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: therefore they empathize. Secondly, the millennials, so many of them
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: didn't have kids at all, so they look at this
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: woman and they think that she's, Oh my goodness, gracious.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Of course she was so overwhelmed. But that's just the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: small part of it. I know what this is. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: know what this is because I've been predicting this. This
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: is what happens in a society that accepts as totally
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: legitimate and moral abortion. That's what it is. I know
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: some people don't want to hear this. I don't care.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I've been predicting this. I said, Look, we went from
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: abortion is terrible, but somebody should have the choice to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: do it. Two, it's a woman's choice, but she's got
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to do it in the first few months. Two, let's
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: have partial birth abortion seven months in. It's her choice. Two.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Several states now passing laws saying that you can have
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: an abortion right up to the point of birth. New
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: York State is one of them. Then, to some people
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: who say that even if the fetus is partially delivered
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and partially out of the womb, that it ought to
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: be up to the mother and doctor to kill the baby. Then, so,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: once you get to that point of depravity, here's a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: fully formed baby, eight and a half, nearly nine months
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: into the womb, fully developed, fully capable of existing outside
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the mother's body. Once you say you can kill that baby,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that that's not human. Logically you would say, well, what's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: really the difference between this child still a woman, say
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a child six months old. Let's be honest, there isn't
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: much difference. Then it was a year. I started commenting
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a few years ago that some of the softest sentences
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: in our criminal justice system were for women who killed
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: young children. You kill your sixteen year older, still likely
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to get something. Nearly life one two. It was less
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: once we started dehumanizing babies in the womb before birth.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: The next step is to dehumanize them after birth. Who
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: gives a crap if she was overwhelmed? Do you know
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: how mean people are overwhelmed? And I don't buy the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed I just don't start reading. Get out of your
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: little bubbles out there and start reading about what's going
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on in South Sudan where the Christians are being slaughtered.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: This is one of the most abject total poverty and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: massacre based on religious cleansing. It's not ethical thing. Everyone
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is black. Imagine having several children an agricultural drought, starvation
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: being used as a weapon, and knowing there's a good
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: chance you or your children are going to be killed
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: because you're not Muslim. Now compare that to this monster
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: sitting there in Massachusetts. Oh, I might have bipolar, which,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: by the way she lives, well, it wasn't really diagnosed. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: thirty six years old and you're just figuring out now
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that you're a bipolar So the story isn't even Her
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: claims don't even past the smell test. She had an
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: easier than probably I think this number is right ninety
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: nine percent of the people in the planet. Do you
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: know what most of the world is. Hell, we're very
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: blessed in the United States and a few other developed nations.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: So this argument that it was so so difficult for her.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Now we can argue all we want about abortion and
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: whether or not. Well, maybe if she would have had abortion,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: she would not have been so overwhelmed. But the fact
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of the matter is she didn't and she didn't use
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: birth control, and she's popping about right and left. She
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: made a choice, and then she got overwhelmed because she
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: decided she was overwhelmed, and you identify with her. There's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: another part of this, I'll call it kind of a
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: subset of my main point. Talked about this one all
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the time. Out of sight, out of mind. You could
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: have some terrible atrocity going on in the world, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you could tell people who wout it forever and ever
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and ever they don't care back, especially when we didn't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: have as many media outlets. If one of the TV
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: networks so then show films of this, people would talk,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: oh my god, that's so terrible. How can we allow
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: this to occur? So once you see it, athletes who
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: commit domestic violence is a perfect example of the I'm
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: trying to remember who was as a football player, like
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: ten or fifteen years ago, there was video of him
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: beating up his girlfriend in elevantor who was it Ray? Right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we have Jayson what Ray Rice? That's right?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: It was he with the Ravens or the Colts Ravens.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: People yawn at these stories, right and laugh, but then
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: they saw it. I actually remember talking to somebody, it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was a woman about this and she said, well, this
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: is just terrible. Well you heard about this beforehand, She said, well, yeah,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: but I didn't think it was going to be that. Well,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: what I think domestic violence is I understand that under
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the law, they will often if there's any kind of
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: unwanted touching or a slight mark. Yeah, I mean, guy
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: beats up a girl, his girlfriend, He beats up his girlfriend,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: beats up his wife, beats up his wife. But we
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: saw that. So here these kids are, we don't see them.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And in my knowledge, there's not any video. Maybe you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: followed it, there's no video in this house of her
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: having done anything done this is there no So therefore
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: we don't see it happening, and we don't see those children.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: The only one we see is her. The media used
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to do this all the time, and I would get
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: on them. You know, here in Milwaukee, when we have
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a murder case, they do these profiles. Oh, such a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: sweetheart of a kid, and one more mistake in his life,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and oh he took care of his children, and he
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: was a loving See he's a good student. And you
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: never hear a damn thing about the person. They murdered.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Three harmless, precious little children killed by their mother. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: again I'm not suggesting this is a majority opinion, but
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: in the past, you know, we've always had weirdos who
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: get infatuated with killers. Dahmer had that whatever, you know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Ted Bundy had that. They'll get these pen peals from
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: these pathetic women, usually miserable, skanky women who can't get
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a guy, and they'll attach themselves to this killer and
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: they'll send them things. But those are all anonymous. You
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: don't really see them. They don't. They didn't show up
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: at the courtroom all drooling over these killers, because it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: kind of humiliating and embarrassing the people that are showing
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: up to defend Lindsey Clancy. They're showing up there with
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: their faces. They're proud of this. So you got my explanation.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And if we take this to the point that now, okay,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it's overwhelming, but they're only five or six years old,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: you know what do they know? Then the next thing
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and I'll be ten, then fifteen, then twenty. Once we
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: established that people had the right to kill babies in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the womb, it wasn't going to take that long until
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: we gave them, at least in the minds of some
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the right to kill them outside the woman. I acknowledge
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it's probably some logic to it. Once we did the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: first depraved thing of not only saying abortion, but an
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: abortion whatever you want, for whatever reason you want, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: no matter how late in the term it is, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: no matter how savage the abortion process, once we accepted that,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: it wasn't going to be that much great of a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: leap to let this woman choker kids to death. Depraved Society,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Part two. I have done my best to ignore the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: soap opera that is the WNBA. I don't watch WNBA
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: games really ever. If I do, it's you know, there's
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: something on the TV beyond my control, like it's on
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the TV in a bar or something and I'm sitting
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: there and watch I don't ever tune it in. I
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: don't even know when they get to I don't they're
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: not in the playoffs yet, are they. Jason's here helping
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: me out of this tube. No, I know they I'll
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: watch you in their playoffs. I admit to believing that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: kayl and Clark is really talented, but it doesn't do
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: anything for me, and it especially doesn't do anything for
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: me now that they've decided that Caitlin Clark is a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: terrible threat to them, so they're going to beat her
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: up on the court, and the league isn't going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: do anything about it. They don't like her because she's on,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and they don't like her because she's clean cut, and
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: they don't like her because she's apparently straight. Then you
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: have this Sophie cunning Him, who's very, very shrewd. She
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: realizes that if the entire league is out there acting
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: like a bunch of creeps and freaks, there's probably a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: market for her to be a wholesome, regular old, good
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: old American girl, and she's taken advantage of that, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: they hate her too, smacking her around. I just don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: want to watch it. There's just nothing in this for me.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I've got enough other goofy sports that I watch that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to add this to the list. But
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it is interesting that the league has decided that its
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: marketing plan is to embrace the hate. They will not
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: crack down in the violence against Caitlyn Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: They will not market those two women, even though they
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: are clearly the biggest stars in the league. The overall
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: American society has embraced Caitlyn Clark and their embracing Sophie
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Cunningham because they are the Sophie Cunningham in particular because
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: she's anti woolf, Caitlin Clark in particular because she's unbelievably
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: talented and refuses to play the same thug ball that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the others are playing. But these instances of intolerance and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: hate from this league continue. We had the case in
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Seattle where the two girls show up wearing T shirts
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and support of Sophie Cunningham, and one of the minority
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: owners of the Seattle team be rights them. Now this
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: they franchise in Toronto. I mean, Jason knows all sports.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Things you're not going to know this are you not
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: going to know the name of the WNBA team in Toronto,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: are you good? The Tempo that's what they are, which
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I mean that even sounds like a lefty name, isn't it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I mean it does. I'm Tempo is not a lefty word,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: but it sounds like a lefty name, doesn't it. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: fits for Canada too. More in Canada in the moment,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the Toronto Tempo has decided to unveil a new mascot.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: The mascot's name is Des des Is. According to the team,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: non binary meaning not male or female, uses the pronoun she.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: They she is a turtle. Excuse me, he it is
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a turtle. They it's a turtle, a snapping turtle that
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: is non binary and by the way, dressed in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: garb they unveiled the mascot. The mascot was used the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: first time the Indiana Fever, which is the team of
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Tyling Clark and Sophie Cunningham coming to Toronto. So there's
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: nothing subtle about this. We're out there and we're lg
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: We're not just LGBTQ. There's a lot of LGBTQ people
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: who are not nuts, and a lot of them, by
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the way, say that they are embarrassed by the way
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: some of the fringe activists in that movement act. According
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to a report in The New York Post, the mascot
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: des has a partner named Dot who uses the standard
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: she her so Dez, who's a she. They has a
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: buddy who is a she her. They're both snapping turtles.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: They manage to make turtles now part of the LGBTQ movement,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and so everybody knows exactly where they're coming from. They
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: bring them out when Caylen Clark and Sophie Cunningham are
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: coming to play, because apparently they think that gets under
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: their skin. So the message to all the Toronto fans
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: is these two Indiana players, these straight white players, they're
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the Franks, They're the bad guys. In the meantime, we
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: have some people that are trying to take advantage of
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: this and the obvious backlash to Wit and Olla grant you.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham is one of them. She knows exactly what
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: she's doing. There's somebody who understands the marketability in doing
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: whatever it is that just inflames people on the left.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I think she completely understands it. So does this guy
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: now I'll admit this guy as a total tool. Is
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: an NBA player named Enis Canter. He's now decided his
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: name is Enis Canter Freedom, in part because of his
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: ethnicity and so on. But he's a pain in the ass.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You may recall him from about nine or ten years
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: ago in which he said he would never in his
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: life play for the Milwaukee Bucks in trash Milwaukee, as
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: it being at just a terrible city. So he's a dink.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I don't deny that, but now he's a dink on
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: our side. He's no longer in the NBA. And with
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: all of this embracing by the NBA of transgenderism, they
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: refuse to bar transmit, you know, men who claim that
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: they're women from playing in the league. None of them
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: have done it yet. And the players all hate Sophie
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Cunningham because she has come out and said that women's
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: sports should be for women. The position of almost all
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the NBA players and the teams and the coaches at
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: all of this, No, no, no, we're embracing this. So
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Enis Canter Freedom. See that's not as bad as Metal
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: World Piece, who was ron our test. Because Enis can't.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: First of all, he had a legitimate reason to put
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the Freedom thing on there. And he still keeps the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: other parts of his name, so you know who he was.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I think ron our test is back to ron our
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Test is, and he got rid of that metal world piece,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: then I think he has But nobody cares about him,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: not that now that he's not a player anywhere. He
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: just a fifty year old man. If he walks into
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the stands in Cold Cox, somebody who cares he played
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: when he came to town and played against the Bucks
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: for whatever team who's at at the time of the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: pants kept The Bucks have this curing section that sits
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: behind one of the baskets. I forget what they call them,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: but they've been around forever. I mean they did back
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: to the Bradley Center. The what do they call them?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: The requirement they get free tickets, but the requirement is
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: they have to stand the entire game, and they do
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: these organized cheers that they meta world pieces out there.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: They kept channing raw on our cast, Raw on our Test.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I thought that was funny, all right, Inus Canner Freedom
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: says next season he's joining the WNBA and he's making
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: his name available to be drafted. He's making a point
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: here Enus Cannor isn't wearing a dress, he isn't doing
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: anything to present himself as a female. He's a dude
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: with a beard. But he's saying, look, if all you
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: have to do to claim that you're a woman has
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: claimed you're a woman, I'm gonna claim I'm a woman,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna go out there and i'm gonna
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: beat beat all of you and I'm gonna whip you, which,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: of course he probably would, even though he's washed up
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: and out of the NBA anymore. Probably a forty five
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: year old ex NBA player is gonna beat the crap
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: out of a WNBA female. Probably, So he's milk at this.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: My guess is, first of all, he's making a legitimate
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: political point that we need to be women's sports from
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: opportunistic weirdos who are just claiming that the others that
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: they're the other gender so that they can go and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: win a bunch of championships that they would never win
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: if they compete against men. But also, he's gotta a
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: lot of attention off of it, and I understand that's
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: what he's doing. So he shows up at the game
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: last night between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: And again the fever is the Caitlin Clark team. The
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: game is in Chicago, that's the Sky. He shows up
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: there and he's wearing some sort of shirt that's making
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: his point. One of the WNBA players goes over and
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: starts screaming and berating him. Now you understand what it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: like to be a conservative. You've got lefties all over
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: us in society, and there's lefties at sporting events. There's
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: lefties at this, there's lefties at that, and we pretty
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: much tolerate their idiot lefty things and the stupid show
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: that they have on and so on. Leftists, however, can't
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: stand somebody. It's this. It goes back to Trump and
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the MAGA crowd and the Red Caps. It just triggered them.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: They can't stand a conservative who is outspoken in public
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and their conservativeness, but leftists get to shoot their mouths
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: off and protest them the street and do all of this.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Enus Canner shows up at the game and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: one of the WNBA players goes over and berates him,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: and then her teammates going half her back. He hasn't
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: punched anybody right there. She goes over and starts screaming
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: at him, and all the other players then gather around.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: We've got your back. They kicked Enu's canter out of
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the game. So again the WNBA is making it very
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: very clear where they're coming from. And while I understand
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: what ENA's Canter Freedom is trying to do, there needs
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: to be an actual test of this. So far, for
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: most of the trans people that have competed in you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: they are swimmers making swimming records, they're volleyball players that
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: are injuring female players on the other team. But we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: haven't had it show up at the highest level of
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: say a professional sport, where there's somebody who's actually good.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: We need somebody to actually do this to see whether
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: or not they'll back up their rhetoric. They'll say, well,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Enis Canner is just pretending to be a exactly so
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: is everybody else. So the KA dingus is running around
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: claiming that they're a woman. He hasn't dyed his hair pink,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: he hadn't shaved off a portion of his hair, he
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: isn't putting on goofy makeup. What do they have to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: do with it? Would the WNBA zelots object if an
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: untalented MAO who says I identify as a few But
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is it wearing a dress, it is a dying her
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: hair a weird color? Will they object to that? My
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: guess is not. In the states like Minnesota that are
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: persisting and insisting on allowing boys to complete and compete
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: in girls sports, I'd like to see some team have
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: thirty five boys go out for a girls team in
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: that event and take them on and force this hand.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I've got another story for you. This is a really
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: good one. I'm gonna tell you before it at the end.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I've linked this one up on Belling dot com, So
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: for those of you who want to read the entire piece,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: it is linked on my website Belling dot com. There's
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: a climatologist at the University of Alabama named John Christy.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: He is a true scientist forever. The great breakthroughs in
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: science were when people felt the consensus was wrong. This
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: is how we've moved the needle forward in terms of
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: human knowledge. At one point we thought the Earth was flat,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: then some few people proved that it wasn't. And you
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: can go up and down the line throughout the advancement
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of knowledge will stick to the sciences. Here we thought
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: one thing and then somebody came through and proved no,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: in fact, something else is true. The world that we
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: live in right now, they believe that science is all
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: established and nobody can challenge anything. Remember Fauci, I'm science.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: People were challenging his take and had strong evidence that
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: he was drawing, and somehow we weren't supposed to listen
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to the people that were doing the challenge. I remember
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: the scientific method. You establish a hypothesis and then you
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: have to prove it. And the hypothesis that people paid
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: attention to were when you prove something that we either
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: didn't know before or we thought the opposite. That's what
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: a real scientist is. Now science is simply some people
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: chasing grant money, coming up with some conclusion that gets
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: them paid a lot of money, and then not letting
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: anybody challenge that. That is what's anti science. John Christy
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: is not claiming that overall average temperatures in the United
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: States are rising. He's not claiming that. In other words,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: he's not arguing at that point. So, yeah, the average
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: temperatures have been going up. What he is disagreeing with
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: and in fact says that he's been able to prove
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: is he says, we are not seeing an increase in
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: extreme weather. In fact, just the opposite. What we are
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: seeing is in the term that he uses is moderation.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: In other words, we have less extremes than ever. He
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: got a paper published in the academic journal Theoretical and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Applied Climatology, and at the end of this piece he
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: talks about the difficulty those are pure reviewed journals. In
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: other words, to get it published, you have to have
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: your peers are going to challenge us before they're in there,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: and they're going to try to pull calls, and they're
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: going to try to debunk and refute. And he said,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I was able to withstand this what he did, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I'll get it to the story here. What he did
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: is this, he tracked the actual specific data all these
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: weather stations all over the United States, the actual raw data.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: The climatologists who have the global warming theory, what they
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: do is they take the average temperature, in other words,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: take the temperature of Milwaukee, the recording that they have
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: every day at the Milwaukee reporting stations, and then average
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: them out over the course of the year. And then
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: that average you know, okay, the high end one day
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: was forty one, of the lowest seventeen. In the summer
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: there was eighty two, or the lowest sixty six. It's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: average them all out. He's not denying that that average
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: inches up a little bit. What he is saying, however,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: is that the extreme levels are not going on. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: to do the extreme levels you have to go and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: grab every single day at every single one of the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: reporting stations going back over one hundred years. Let me
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: quote from a peace in the Epic Times. According to
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: his report published this spring in the academic journal Theoretical
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: It Applied Climatology, the data don't show an increase in
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: extreme temperatures. Rather, the indicate that temperatures have become more
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: moderate over the past century. Quote, we have the systematic
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: measurement in the United States that show the extremes of
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties, thirties, and fifties. In terms of heat,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: we're much greater than the ones currently. Even when you
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: include the western parts of the country that are having
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: their nineteen thirties today. The rest of the country is
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: not following the script. Now, let me interject addressed is
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: but what the media tends to do is when there's
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a heat wave or for that matter, a cold snap
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is, and a certain part of the country,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: they'll then highlight the story. Now I'm sitting here in Milwaukee.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: We've had a very unremarkable summer. We had only a
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: couple of days where it got really, really, really really hot.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Those periods of like five days where it's ninety nine
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: through one hundred and three. You don't even get him
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: every year where we add as a dry mid June
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: to mid July or wet August temperatures in June that
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: started out really rather cool and then things warmed up.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: But we haven't had any real extremes at all. This
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: is just our part of the world. In the western
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: part of the States, it's been blistering hot for the
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: longest time. What he's pointing out is, even if you
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: factor all of this in, the extremes that we are
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: seeing are not as extreme as those of about one
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: hundred years ago. He said, unbalanced, you do not have
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: a country wide extreme event. Now, Noah, that's the National
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Oceanic and Whatever administration. What's the a in there? Do
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: you know? National Oceanic and Atmospheric Atmospheric Administration, that's the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: government agency regarding the cause. Noah said Earth's average surface
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: temperature has been rising because human produced greenhouse gases are
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: causing Earth to absorb more energy that it radiates back
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to space. Christie's study, however, indicates that far from an
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: increase in extreme weather, there has been an overall moderating
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: of temperatures in the United States. In contrast to Noah's assessment,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Christie's analysis indicates fewer extreme high temperatures and extreme low
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: temperatures since eighteen ninety nine. Now let me interject. You
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: hear this term record heat. Well, we have three hundred
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and sixty five days a year, obviously, and the records
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: really only go back to the late eighteen hundreds. That's
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: you know, that's basically when we had reasonably good thermometers.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: So in any given year, you should have on average
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: two to three record days, given the fact that there's
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty five of them and we're only
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: competing through one hundred and thirty days of history. But
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: whenever we get those well oh say say say, but
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: if you go look at the data, you'll find all
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: sorts of days in there where the record was nineteen
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: seventeen nineteen twenty four. We haven't knocked that offen one
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: hundred years, said back Whisby's given the Christy and Noah
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: looking at the same data, how can there be such
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a large discrepancy. The different stems from two main factors,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Christie says. First, Noah's charge shows average annual temperatures, while
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Christie focuses on the highest and lowest recorded temperatures during
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: the warmest and coldest seasons. The extremes, he said, are
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: more relevant to climate science because they are setting the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: environmental boundaries in which plants and animals live. You're ce point,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: He says, the average isn't all that important in terms
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: of the country belived. The extremes are. You know, when
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: temperatures get to a certain point, vegetation can die. Likewise,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: get cold to a certain point, can die within that range. However,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: they can adapt and survive. So he said that the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: important thing in terms of sustainability of life is to
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: look at the extremes. So he says that's more important
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: than the average. Others would say that the average is
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: more important. But the key here of the reason I
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: think he has credibility is He's not denying that the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: average is going up. He's saying, however, that there is
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: not an increase in the extremes, In fact, the opposite.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: The second reason for the different results, Christy said is
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: that Noah emphasis employs algorithms that eliminate data points it
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: believes could be errors or anomalies. This is big algorithms.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: You better learn that word, because AI is going to
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: be driven by them. What Noah does is, rather than
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: blindly feed all the data into Woods models, it excludes
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the data that seems like outliers because it might be wrong. Now,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: there's some basis for this. If you're tracking something in
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: the result that just clearly seems to be a screw up,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: if you put that screwed up information in there, you're
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: gonna have a flawed model. But he says, what Noah
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: does is they exclude everything that seems to be an anomaly. Well,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: maybe it wasn't an anomaly. Maybe it happened. Until about
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty everything that was recorded was recorded by hand.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: There weren't computers that put it in. You know, somebody
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: at the individual weather station and whatever. In Butte Montana
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: would write down the high and write down the low
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: and it would be on a log.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: No.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Possibly, the person could screw up. And if it was
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: seventy six on one day, he wrote down ninety six possible,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: but probably unlikely. Right. Furthermore, if the algorithm has this
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: assumption that there wasn't anything extreme in the pass, the
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: algorithm is flawed. Any algorithm, and you're gonna see this
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: with AI is only as good as the input that
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: it's given. Garbageing, garbage out old saying it's really good
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: to apply to AI and all these algorithms that we have.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Christie's research entailed going back to the original reports and
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: collecting the extreme data points that Noah had removed from
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: its calculation. So what he did is he went back
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: particulously in all these cities across the country and looked
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: at the data that was taken out. Well, that can't
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: be right, that's too extreme. Well think about this. See now,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Noah's looking at just the average, the average, the average,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: So for them, the extreme was not important. In fact,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the extreme might be screwed up. This guy, however, this
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: is what he wants is the extreme. That's what I'm tracking,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the extreme. So you put them all back in. It
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: included more than a century of weather station reports, from
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: early handwritten notations by the Army Signal Corps and the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Weather Bureau to measurements taken by military at federal agencies today,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: all of which are collected in a central network managed
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: by Noah. Noah's figures raised questions and led to more research.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Christy said because some of what noah data showed as
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: recent record highs didn't match what he remembered from his
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: own experience. Said, oh, this is an open minded guy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: He's got an example here. When I was going through
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: the federal data that's digitized, I noticed the government's website
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: says the hottest temperature in Newport, Oregon and history was
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: ninety four degrees. Now you may wonder why would that
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: jump out at him? Take a guess, whould Why would he?
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Why would he he noticed that the government says the
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: hottest temperature ever in Newport, Oregon was ninety four degrees?
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Why would he notice that? Here's why I noticed it.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: He's from there, Say so this is and he goes on,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I knew a lot about that about the Way Coast
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: because I grew up there. So he went back to
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: the original handwritten temperature readings for that site, Newport, Oregon,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: and found not only a reading of one hundred degrees
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: in June of nineteen twenty five, but also ten other
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: days hotter than ninety four degrees in Newport. He incorporated
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: those missing numbers and then did the same for other
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: reports from the more than twelve hundred stations across the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: United States. So this guy, he was meticulous. And again
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: what he found is the reporting data knocked out a
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: lot of extreme temperatures in the past because when the
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: agency was collecting, they figured, well, that had to be wrong.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: To confirm that these extreme temperatures were not an error,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Christy cross checked his findings with near other nearby states
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: to confirm they were getting similar readings. As an example,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: or at this Newport organ these days where there were
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: over one hundred, he would then look at say a
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: nearby city to that and indeed their temperature was way
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: up there that same day. So that means that the
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: reporting a Newport organ that wasn't taken down in error.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: My data is far more complete than what the federal
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: government provides the scientific researchers. In addition, the majority of
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: the temperature increases Christie found occurred at night with the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: daytime temperatures largely remaining flat. He hypothesized that this indicated
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: an influenced other than just CO two emissions. You know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: this is going to be interesting too. So he notices
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: that the increase in temperature is primarily it hasn't been
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: cooling off at night as much so much as there's
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: been an increase in the highs in the daytime. And
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: he said, well, why would the nighttime lows be going
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: up but the daytime highs are not. And again the
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: conclusion that he comes up with makes total sense. This
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: is due to human development around the weather stations, because
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: nighttime temperatures are far more sensitive to urbanization, parking lots, buildings,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: removal the forest, and so on than daytime temperatures. In
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: other words, one hundred years ago we got to these
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: weather stations around they're probably a lot of them are
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: just sitting out there in the middle of nowhere. Well, now,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: there's probably in a parking lot, of there's a strip mall.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: And indeed, anybody who's got like one of those little
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: temperature gages on their car, you're aware that in the summer,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: when you're driving around, say in a city with the
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: hot streets and all of that stuff. The temperature is
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: going to be two or three degrees warmer than say,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: when you get out there in the middle of nowhere
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: in a farm country. Everybody's noticed that, and his point
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: is is that this warming effect from concrete, asphalt, businesses,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: et cetera is more pronounced than camping. The temperature somewhat
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: elevated at night. So his theory is that the biggest
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: reason here doesn't have anything to do with co too.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: It's simply that the land is retaining its heat more
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: at night when it should be cooling down. Because we
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: have all this development around the weather stations. It would
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: be interesting if you could track data from some of
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: these weather stations that remain in really remote areas. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. The weather stations themselves are always in
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: a semi developed area because you have to be able
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: to get to them, so there's at least a road,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: and if there's a road's chances are something's nearby. Over
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: the past century, many locations where temperature readings were taken
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: have been touched by urbanization and suburban sprawl, with the
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: construction of asphalt and concrete structures, and formerly rural areas.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: He said, these structures absorb heat during the day and
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: release it at night, in addition to the removal of
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: treeds that once provided shade. You can't pin it on
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: greenhouse gases alone. Because the urban effect is so obvious
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: in these stations, it doesn't take much to make an
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: urban heat island. You can just build a parking lot
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: next to a rural station and you've got an urban
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: heat island. Started. Getting his most recent findings published in
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: an academic journal was no easy task. Again, he came
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: up with all this, Okay, he presents the paper. He
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: needs to get this published. So there's all these other
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: climatologists there, and probably all of them are drinking from
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: the same kool aid of global warming and so on,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: so they're going to challenge him. The reviewers tried to
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: find anything they could to reject it, and fighting that
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: takes a long time, on a lot of effort. Christy said,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I had to overcome many objections, and I had to
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: do some convincing by repeatedly going through a process of
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: showing this is your biggest objection. I have tested your objection.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: It's incorrect. There have been other papers we just never
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: could get published. That's unfortunate because that means the world
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: does not have a chance to see the results of
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: this kind of research. Whether his findings will change Americans
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: views on climate change is uncertainty said, if your political
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: view is that extremes are getting worse and worse, that's
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: almost a religion. So you really can't change minds on that. Oh,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: this is where I come in. I've said again and
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: again and again. You are likely to believe something is
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: true if you want it to be true. So if
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: you want to believe there are more extremes, just as
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: if you want to believe that the masks going to
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: stop you from getting COVID, or you want to believe
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: anything else that you want to believe. You want to
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: believe that socialism isn't going to destroy the economy and
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: quality of life, you're likely to believe it. This is
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: a major roadblock to scientific advancement, particularly when the entire
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: media is suggesting that anybody who tries you know, any
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: theory that RFK has on anything, well, you're challenging science.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: The whole point of challenging science is to challenge science.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean just because you say it you're right,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: you still got to make the case improve it. But
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: we have all of this closed mindedness that is based
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: on people are making money off of the theories over
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: which we've closed our minds. Back to the piece, average
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: temperatures in extreme temperatures provide complementary scientific insights, he said.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Now I find it really important to know it that
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: this guy is not arguing that the average and again
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: his reports here are based on the United States, not
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: the world. He's not arguing that the average temperature in
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: the United States hasn't been going up. He's saying that
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: the extremes are not increasing. In fact, they're flattening. So
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: he's not throwing everything out that the You know that
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: the the climatecron is pushing, and he's saying that evaluating
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: the two is complimentary. I'll also add, every time we
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: have a year of a lot of tornadoes or hurricanes,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: the media is claiming that this has something to do
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: with climate change, But then we'll have other years in
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: which there's almost no severe weather activity at all. We're
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: sitting here and I don't want to jinx anything. We're
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: nearly the end of August. There's not been a significant
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: damaging Atlantic hurricane yet. Hurricane season scarted about six weeks ago.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: We're going into the really strong portion. Katrina happened over
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend. I remember because it was Labor Day weekend.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Labor Day's a little bit later this year and October
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: and into early November. You can still get this. So
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: maybe we're going to have an active hurricane season or not.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: But so far, almost nothing. And that's just the way
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: it's gone. We just had a terrible tornado that moved
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: through Manasha, Wisconsin. But beyond that twenty two activity in
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: the state of Wisconsin has been lower than the average
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: years so far. Again, that could all change tonight for
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: all I know. So you have really really big years
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: and then really years in or NOTT which would indicate
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: the climate chain and even anything to do with severe
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: weather activity. Quoting average temperatures, establish the history, establish the
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: historical baselines to identify extreme conditions. Extreme temperatures help address
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: risks resulting from events such as heat and cold waves.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Despite the abundant data Noah provides, Christy believes it's difficult
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: for academics who question the prevailing narratives on climate to
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: secure grants that be published. Say this is the problem.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: So he's a guy presenting different information than the consensus.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: He can't get anybody because this is not the agenda
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to believe it. On an issue like climate change,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: it's about as intolerant as they come, he said. But
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful to be here in Alabama where you still
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: have the ability to ask questions and to examine the
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: real data and not be fired for it. So he's
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: at the University of Alabama where they encourage this type
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: of research. Let me address real quickly, the latest tariffs
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Trump and Canada. Trump made a quote in discussing this
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: that I think perfectly summarized the problem he and for
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: that matter, the United States he has with Canada. Trump said,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Canada wants to have all the advantages of being a
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: state without being a state. Canada has almost no military
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: defense budget at all. I didn't say none because they
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: assumed that the United States will defend it. Canadians have
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: had the ability to spend up to six months in
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: the United States. Canadian companies their biggest export market is
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: the United States, and there's been almost no restrictions on
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: it at all. Canadian sports teams have been able to
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: affiliate with American leagues. Toronto, for example, can have a
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: team in the NBA, which is primarily teams in the
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: United States. So Canada has benefited from being right next
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: to the United States. If we pretty much accepted, I, Okay,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: you're in Canada, you can be doing our stuff. But
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the United States asking Canada to
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: give us the same stuff that we be able to
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: get from say Minnesota, no, And I think the tipping
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: point of these negotiations is the most precious commodity in
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: the world right now. Are these rare earth minerals. You
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: need them for AI, you need them for almost any
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: advanced application. We have some of the United States, China
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: has a huge portion of it, Russia has some, and
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Canada has a lot. Trump would like to see Canada
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: share the rare earth resources with the United States without
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: a special terror for duty on it. And China's good
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: if other Canada is going to guard this and then
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: they turn around and dump their products in the United
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: States because they know that the resources that they have
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: in Canada, they are enough Canadians to sustain that economy.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: If Canada wants the United States to babysit and protect them,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Canada can't keep turning around and hoarding stuff real quickly.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: On the Canadian visa situation, Canadians can spend six months
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: in the United States without having a job here. You know,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: if you're a student or something else, you can spend
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: the entire year. But if you're just somebody that's gold
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: bricking and coming over six months, try doing that, and
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: trying being an American and doing that a Try being
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: an American and getting a job in Canada. They'll run
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: you out again. It's such a one way relationship. And
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: until Trump, every one of our leaders just pretty much
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: tolerated it. And what Trump has done, he just came
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: into all of these relationships between the United States and
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: other nations and said, we're getting screwed right and left.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I'm doing a reset, And of course they're going to object.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: And he knows full well with regard to this tear
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: of these tariffs in Canada, that they're gonna hurt Canada
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: far more than the United States. There are very few
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: products we have to get from Canada, but there are
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of these things that Canada sells that the
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: United States is their principal market. You're listening to the
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling podcast Assemblyman
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Day of MAXI remember the State Assembly Republican from New
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Berlin has sent a series of detailed questions to Paulin
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Gutira as the head of the Milwaukee Election Commission, dealing
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: with the latest problems that occurred at Milwaukee's Central count
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: I want to get into this. I think the overwhelming
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: majority of Republican voters in the state of Wisconsin believe
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: that Milwaukee election officials cheat. I think the overwhelming majority
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: believe this, and nationally it's in even a higher percentage
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: because they see the same routine every two years, not
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: for every two vototals come in from the state of Wisconsin.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Some communities come in real fast, others come in slow.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Then we get over like ninety two, ninety three percent,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: and we here that none of the Milwaukee absentee, early
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: or mail in votes have been counted. Again, it's every time.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: And then when they come in they go overwhelmingly to
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: the Democrats and tip elections. People see that, they say,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: how could we be at ninety five percent of this
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Republican is up by seventy thousand votes and they still lost. Well,
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: there is an explanation. City of Milwaukee's overwhelmingly democratic. Then
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: add in it changed in twenty twenty four, but prior
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: to twenty twenty four, most of the people who early
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: voted were Democrats. So you're taking a disproportionately democratic segment
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: of an overwhelmingly democratic city. So yeah, it could well
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: be that there are just this massive number of Democratic votes,
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't satisfy the other questions, including the fact
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: that this is the third major election in a row
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: where there has been an enormous problem at central count.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Let's explain what central code is. Milwaukee's not the only
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: city with a central count. Several major cities in Wisconsin
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: do not count the absentee early and mail in votes
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: at the polling places. Most do, but the big ones don't.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Madison has central cone as well. So let's imagine you vote,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: I always early vote, my ballot is taken to central count.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: People wonder why they don't run the ballot to the
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: voting machine when you vote early. It's against the law.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: You can't run a ballot to the voting machine until
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: election day, and I think there's good reason for that.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: If they started counting votes five weeks before the election,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: there would be far less security than there is now.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: You would make it even harder to have observers everywhere
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: that somebody's running the ballots to in any event, So
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: my ballot is taken to Central County, it's not taken
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: to my individual precinct. I usually voted the Milwaukee Municipal Building,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: which by the way, is my precinct. But what if
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: it wasn't, They wouldn't take it. Say I voted an
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: if my normal precinct would be, say a school or
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: something or another, they take it instead to Central count
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: And all the ballots in the city that were cast
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: in advance or taken there, so it's called Central count.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: The people who vote on the same day their ballots
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: are counted at their individual precinct. But Central count in
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee is where the mail in, the early votes, in person, absentee,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: all of those categories are counted. Why does it take
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: them so long that at one thirty or two o'clock
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: in the morning they're not done? And why are there
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: always problems? In the most recent election, which was what
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: involving everybody is a Democrat, Crowley and Han, the race
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: was razor thin. Crowley had a narrow lead with the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: City of Milwaukee Central comp ballots still outstanding. When those
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: ballots are finally counted, Crowley still in a narrow lead.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Some people are saying those ballots put him over the top.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: He was leading before it, and he was leading after.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: They seemed to break exactly fifty to fifty. Anyway, when
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: they were doing this, they were taking from the voting
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: cabulators the results and transferring them to memory sticks. They
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: had nine memory sticks. Five of the nine memory sticks
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: they didn't transmit the voting totals. They transmitted the audit.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: So they realized this when they're over at the city
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: County Clerk's office and they had to go back and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: they had to reload this stuff onto the memory sticks.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: How in the hell can that happen? Wouldn't you think
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: the person the memory sticks is this is the vote
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: count wouldn't you think that the person who's doing that
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: would know how to do it, And wouldn't you think
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: there maybe four people over seeing this. How in the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: world can you screw that up? Two years ago, in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four at Central count election observers noticed that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: the seal that they put on the voting cabulators we'd
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: call them voting machines. They had all of them sealed.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: The seals had come loose on numerous of the machines.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: They apparently used tape or fixed the tape in such
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: a way that it didn't hold on the machines. Oh
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: my god, I'd like getting an Amazon package and the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: boxes open and all the packages because the tape that
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: they put on didn't hold of the cardboard. In the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: most recent incident incident, it delayed the already really really
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: late election results ninety minutes. There have been three separate
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee election commissioners during this period, first Barrett and then
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: eventually Johnson. Keeps firing people and bringing in new people.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: At one point they brought in the city clerk from
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Madison who worked on a part time basis. She didn't
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: even move to Milwaukee to run the election commision. They
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: had to get rid of her. Then Cavalier Johnson's hand
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: pic choice, they had to get bit of her. And
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: now polliteger Tierras is in there, and Central Count screws
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: up again. But beyond the things that are being botched there,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: why does it take so long? Central Count is not
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: a place that you're voting on election day. If you're
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: voting an election day, you're going to the presint of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: the school here in this building over there. Central Count
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: is just a separate building. All they have to do
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: all day is take all the early votes and run
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: into the machine. They have thirteen hours seven am to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: eight pm eight pm. They have to run them through
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: the machine on election day. They can't do it in advance.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: They have thirteen hours to run these ballots. Why are
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: they not done by eight o'clock at night? Why is
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: it midnight? Why is it two in the morning. People say, well,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: it's all those ballots. You know who else has Central Count? Madison?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Madison's never late. The voting results of Madison are usually
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: in before the rest of the state. Madison's as lefty
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: as could be. If they could run a central count
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: and get the things all in in time, why can't Milwaukee.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: And the answer is the people will come up with
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: is because they're waiting until the end so they can
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: see how many fake ballots that they can get in
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: to put their sight over the top. And I'll be
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: honest with you, I'm not persuaded of that. I've met
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: the people who run the Milwaukee Election Commission. I don't
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: think the crooks but because these fall ups keep occurring,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: and because they remain so slow, and because we have
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: a mayor who refuses to tell the Election Commission get
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: your ass in gear and get these votes counted by
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: nine point thirty and report them properly without foul up.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: These questions continue to be asked now because this is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: a Democrat versus Democrat thing. As it turns out, Central
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Conte didn't shift anything, because, as I say, the margin
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: was a few thousand votes for Crowley before Central cod
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: came in, and it didn't change them. Hauns. People aren't
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: whining and claiming anything corrupt, but you're released getting some
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: attention now from the media on the fact that the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Election Commission cannot run Central count and Dave maxis
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: now asking these questions. If this were reversed and this
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: was a Republican area of the state, say Washington County,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: one of the one or two most Republican counties in
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the state, Washington County kept coming in at two in
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: the morning, and we're produced seventy five percent Republican vote
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: shifting their results of elections. There's no way people wouldn't
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: find it. Fishierre demanding to know why are you so slow.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Some counties are just slow. We're you're seeing county. He
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: has always been molasses. I don't know why they have
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: a central count of the city ever seen. I don't
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: know if that contributes to it. All. Right, now here's
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: the story for you. The name Milwaukee City Attorney's office
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: was a four year mess. We had a perfectly good
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: city attorney forever. His name was Grant Langley. Then we
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: elected an idiot who's turned out now to be a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: criminal named Chairman Spencer. I said during the entire time
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: that Tiirman Spencer was the city attorney, Milwaukee didn't have
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: a city attorney at ed Tairman Spencer. Chairman Spencer was
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: a managerial train wreck. A lot of the assistant city
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: attorneys quit. There was allegations of sexual harassment, hostile work environment.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: So he had to hire a whole new staff of people,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: and apparently nobody wanted to work for him. And the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: evidence is the people that he hired were hacks and incompetence.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: So now this story reported on js online. We by
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: the way, have a new city attorney now he's Evan Goiki. However,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: some of the holdovers and Kierman Spencer are still there.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they have civil service protection or not.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: I wish I did. I don't know. I don't know
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: if he can simply fire them and say you worn't
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: for Kierman Spencer, you must be an idiot, because Tairman
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: was an idiot. But there are several holdovers in the office,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: and one of them is the one involved in this story.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Regal Rectort big company. They're corporate headquarters. They're big company.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Their headquarters is on right downtown on Michigan Street in Milwaukee.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Then the one to eleven West Michigan building. If you
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: drive in on seven ninety four, you'll see Regal Reck.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: They have a I think it's is it Regal re
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Is rex Stord. One of the names is on the
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: top of the building. It's that building. They have objected
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: to their city assessment. Lots of people object to their assessments.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: They claim they were overassessed. Assessment of office properties always difficult.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: If the building's mostly empty, it gets assessed at a
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: lower rate than if it's packed. Anyway, Rego rex Nud
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: was objecting to their assessment, so they filed the paperwork
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: objecting to the assessment. The deadline came and the city
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: never responded. Regal Rexnor had then appealed to the judge
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: who was overseeing the case. You have to rule in
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: our favor. We made a claim and the lawyer on
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: the other side never responded. It's like if you're suit
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: in small claims court and you don't show up, they
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: make the judgment for the other side. The assistant city
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: attorney never showed up. Then he finally did show up.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: His name is Kyle Bailey. He showed up in front
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: of Judge Paul Van Grunsman. Jsnline obtained a transcript of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the hearing on June twenty ninth. The attorney Bailey blamed
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: technological issues with the office's new computer record keeping system,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: saying cases were falling off the calendar. So this case
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: is assigned to him, but he's claiming that it fell
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: off someone fell off the calendar. Well, maybe it fell
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: off the calendar as the scheduler. You know, we have
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: outlook here at our companies, so if there's a meeting,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: it shows up on the thing, and maybe that didn't.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean they didn't have the case. You have
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: to be served in these cases. So the lawyer appearently
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: lost track or wasn't working very hard, or maybe he
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't like the fact that he's got an actual boss
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: in there. So Bailey's no longer with an assistant city attorney.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: According to the reporter, Evan Goiki has Watch didn't comment
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: for the story, but the record said that he the
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: reason that he gave is in lieu of discharge, meaning
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: they told him you can resign or we're going to
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: fire you. Now. This story, the story from Ozaki County,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: was first reported by GM Today and the local branch
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: of GM Today in Ozakikani, which is the news graphic.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Somebody else might have reported at first, but this is
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: where I found it. There's an agency called Advocate of Ozaki.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: It deals with domestic abuse and matters like that. According
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: to the report, they discovered an embezzlement, missing funds or
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: unaccounted for funds at Advocate of Ozaki. Several members of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: the board have resigned their claiming that the executive director
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: of the agency is not being referred for prosecution, that
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: she was not only allowed to resign, they held a
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: retirement party for her. One of the people raising a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: stink is a prosecutor in Ozaki County because of that conflict,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: the case has been kicked over to an adjacent county.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: The walker shot excuse me, Washington County Sheriff's department is investigating.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Let me quote from the story on GM Today, at
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: least two members of the Advocate of Ozaki's board of
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: directors resigned following a proposed agreement with former executive director
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Barbara Fisher to not pursue civil claims or criminal charges
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: against her. Washington County Sheriff Merton Schultez told the News
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Graphic on Tuesday his office recommended Fisher be charged with
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: theft in a business setting exceeding five thousand but not
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: exceeding ten thousand dollars, which is a Class AH felony.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: As of Wednesday, Fisher had not been charge of the crime.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: The story goes on, and by the way, I ran
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: this one when she's been given at awards out the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: wazoo throughout her entire career. Apparently the investigation showed that
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: she was responsible for the missing funds, but the board
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: of directors of the agency isn't suing her to get
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: payback of the money, and they're not pursuing criminal charges
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: against her. So you've got the sheriff's department recommending criminal
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: charges the sheriff's department from another county, which is an
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: investigating agency. There are numerous problems with this. First of all,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why embezzlement occurs is often the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: company being embezzled, doesn't They try to get the person
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: to pay back the money, and then the person just
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: agrees to go away. They go to another company and
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: they embezzle them over there. This is an agency that
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: takes in donations and gets grant money for victims of
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: domestic violence. If indeed some of this money was purloined
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: and take it away, that board of directors is an
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: obligation to see justice is done. If the money was
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: taken inappropriately, that's money that's supposed to go to victim services.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: So the very people that you claim that you're advocating for,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: are you putting them secondary to the executive director who
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: runs the agency. I have talked about this issue of
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: embezzlement forever, and again, this doesn't look like a large
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: dollar figure in terms of some of these that we've
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: seen in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but usually
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: they occur when you give too much discretion to somebody
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: in charge. You don't require two signatures, or you give
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: too much trust. In this case, it looks like the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Board of Directors is tighter with the executive director rather
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: than understand that she works for them, and if she
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: steals from you, you're supposed to prosecute. So two members
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: of the board are so hacked off about this that
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: they've resigned, apparently fed up and not believing that this
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: agency can fulfill its mission. Not all the time, but
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: most cases of embezzlement that I've seen, clearly the embezzler
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: is most responsible, but the Board of Directors and the
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: others in the agency are often culpable because they didn't
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: put in didn't put in place proper safeguards, and they
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: weren't closely enough watching. Also, how do we know how
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: long this was going on if indeed this board had
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: such a cozy relationship that they're willing to tolerate theft
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: of money. You're listening to the Mark Belling podcast. This
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: is the Mark Belling podcast. I noticed the almost total
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: lack of coverage of the IndyCar race yesterday, and I
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: know why that is. It's because it went off completely smoothly,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: The Freedom two fifty was yesterday. What do they call
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: it now, the NTT Car Series, It's IndyCar. It's the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: same circuit that's going to rady on in two races
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: this weekend at the Milwaukee Mile. It's the circuit that
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: runs at the Indianapolis Mortar Feace Way. It's the cars
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: are similar to Formula One. It's technically not open wheel,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think, but you know what I mean. Trump
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: has had this idea of putting on major events in Washington,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: D C. And he thought running a race on the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: streets of Washington, d C, right on the Capitol Mall
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: would be a great idea. Road races on city streets
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: can work or not. The most successful one of all,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: I claim, is the Grand Prix of Monte Carlo, the
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: race in Monaco, in which they run right on the
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: city streets right along the Mediterranean, the rivi Era and
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: all the big yachts around there, and it's going to
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: the buildings, and it's been the I think, the most
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: prestigious Formula One race forever. The problem often though, is
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: is that city streets are in crappy shape. Sometimes they're
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: not wide en up for an automobile. Race and so on.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: The NASCAR race that they tried to run in Chicago
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: was an absolute debacle. Nobody could pass. The streets are
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: wide enough of the streets also were all potholed and
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: lumped up, like everything in Chicago is. It's just the
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: parade of races and cars were constantly spinning out. Now
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: the IndyCar racers, those racers have usually have experience in
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: open wheel. The IndyCar circuit is a combination of road
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: races and over races. In addition, the streets of DC
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: around the Capitol are very, very wide, and the race
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: just worked. There was a lot of pass well, I
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: won't say a lot of passing, but IndyCar doesn't always
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: have as much passing. It was just a really good race.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: But seeing the Capitol and the backdrop was really really cool.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: But the comment that everyone made is they could not
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: believe how beautiful Washington, DC was, And I think that's
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: why people didn't want to cover this. If this had
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: been a debacle, they would have been all over it
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: because Trump wanted it. In the same way, they couldn't
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: stand the fact that Trump had a UFC event on
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: the White House lawn. They can't stand the fact that
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: Trump decided when he got into office, I'm cleaning up DC.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: I'm lowering the crime rate, and I'm gonna start picking
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: up all the garbage that's littering this city. And everybody
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: who's been there says it's way cleaner. Now. I'm watching
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: this thing. They've got aerial coverage of the blimbs or
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: drones or whatever is going through. It just looks beautiful.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: The other big event that was held in Washington over
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: the weekend, they apparently had quite the to do for
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Caroline Lovett's going away party. I think she's been the
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: star of the Trump administration. This is the most possible
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: job of the administration, the one that asked to answer
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: questions of the media, and the case of Caroline, extremely
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: hostile media. And by all accounts, she's done an outstanding job.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: And I think clearly was beloved by others on the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: White House staff, given all the hugs and so on
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: that were going on. I speculated last week about why
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: she was leaving now, and the obvious explanation is she
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: has two young children in that job is an eighteen
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: hour a day job and she just can't handle it.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: And I think that still stands but she's going to
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: work for MEGA that's the Trump Pack, and as we're
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: approaching the midterm elections, I think Trump wants her to
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: be in a spokesperson role in political matters where that's
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: going to be the thing she does. That's not going
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: to be the same time requirement, but she's going to
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: be working for the political organization that Trump operates and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: probably be the go to spokesperson. So you're not going
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: to be seeing or giving daily briefings, but she's going
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: to be the mouthpiece for all things political that are
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. And that's it for day's podcast. Talk to
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: you soon, bye.
