  Speaker 2: Sometimes history repeats itself. There's a story in the news
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin right now that, like the earlier story. As
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I said, this is a story that's repeating itself. There's
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of similarities in the way people have wanted
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to look the other way and pretend that they're not
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: seeing what they're seeing. The same thing happened several decades ago.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: When you got reports they were scattered one here, one
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: way over there of Roman Catholic priests messing her with kids,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: mostly boys, and there were just a lot of people
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: who wanted to look the other way. The former Milwaukee
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: County District Attorney Mike McCann consulted with the Milwaukee Archdiocese
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and he famously advised, take care of it, no need
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to bring criminal charges, etc. This was going on all
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: over the country. Bishops and cardinals and the Catholic Church
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: were well, let's work with the person. The person could repent.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: We believe in repentance and forgiveness. The person's had problems,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the family doesn't want anything to go public, and even
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: though these reports were coming in, there were a whole
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: lot of people who looked the other way and simply
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: didn't want to acknowledge that it was going on. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we see what the result of that was. We lost
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: twenty to twenty five years in addressing the problem, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the Catholic Church ended up with a massive hit to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: its credibility. Then everything blew up and the situation has
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: been largely resolved. You hear about these types of cases
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: almost never anymore, but in the process, the church had
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: its reputation damaged, the story repeating itself. It is just
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: clear to me, with all of these cases that we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: have and now the report that came out of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: cap Times of Madison, that we have a crisis in
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin of way more perverted teachers than we imagined in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the same fashion that we go back forty to fifty
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: years that was going on in the Catholic Church. Every
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: indication that this is being covered up, with the chief
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: cover upper being Jill Underly, the head of the Wisconsin
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Department of Public Instruction, We're going to attempt to lift
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the veil on this storm and talk about its political
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: implications as we move forward here on today's podcast. Have
• 3:07

  Speaker 2: Line believes service is essential, not an option. Josh Shulman,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate for governor Washington County Executive, held a video
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: conference today, once again drawing attention to his call for
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Jill Underlead to resign as head of the Department of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Public Instruction. Underley, who skipped out on a legislative hearing
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: attempting to get some answers as to why DPI has
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: been caught covering up one hundreds of cases of inappropriate
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: behavior and grooming by teachers in public schools, is now
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: finally agreeing to testify at a hearing. In addition to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: showman running for governor calling for Underleay's resignation, Tom Tiffany
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate for governor is calling on Tony Evers to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: demand Underleay's resignation. Nobody can force her to resign because
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: she's an elected official. She doesn't have a boss. She
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: is the boss. She can't be recalled from office until
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: April of next year. You can't recall someone until one
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: year after their last election, and she was re elected
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in April. The only thing that can happen is that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: people can raise their voices and demand that she leave,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and then I think demand that whoever her successor is,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it would be filled by appointment clean house. At the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: top of DPI, I mentioned the story from the Cap Times.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Cap Times used to be a newspaper. It's now an
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: insert and a website, very leftist news organization from Madison.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: They did a major investigation. They spent spent a year
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: on this and released it a week and a half ago.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The headline was two hundred teacher sexual misconduct grooming cases
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: shielded from public. The story that was reported by Danielle Decloue.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. They went through records
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that had been shielded from the public, and they found
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a staggering number of cases of teachers that were investigated
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: by the Department of Public Instruction for various instances of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: alleged misconduct. We all know about the cases that result
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: in criminal charges, where there's sexual activity that occurs and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: so on, but it's all the ones in between that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: are kind of the here where complaints were brought to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: attention of the state. DPI is in charge of licensing
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: teachers in Wisconsin. You can't teach in Wisconsin of the license,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and DPI, according to this report, almost never revoked licenses,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and even when it did, it did not disclose to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the public the reason the license was revoked. This is
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: unique to all the other entities that are licensed in Wisconsin.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: For example, if you have your plumbing license revoked, it
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: states in the record this is the reason they revoked
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the plumbing license. Shoddy work or they did they ripped
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: off some of whatever it is. The story also indicates
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that there were numerous instances the DPI allowed the local
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: school district to simply accept the resignation of the teacher,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: but then because the teacher's license was not revoked, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: teacher went and got hired at another district that had
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: no knowledge of what went on. Again, the echoes of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the scandal that occurred in the Catholic Church are just there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: This brings us to the question of why is DPI
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: soft on this behavior. Well, I have my theory. The
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Department of Public Instruction leader, and you can go back
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: decades on this is always somebody that the Teachers' Union wants.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The Department of Public Instruction election, which is held in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the spring four year terms generally as low profile. There's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: only one special interest group that cares a lot who wins,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and that's the teachers' unions. So they bank roll a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: candidate that's always a leftist. So the candidate that gets
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in realizes, I'm the head of DPI because I had
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the backing of the teachers Union, and as a result
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of that, DPI simply does not regulate at all rappy teachers,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: never mind sex abuse, in grooming, et cetera. I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: any type of crappy teacher. There's no standards for them whatsoever.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's almost impossible to lose your teaching license in Wisconsin.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So the nanity that's supposed to be regulating here didn't
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: regulate because the Teachers' Union is set up to protect
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the worst of the teachers. If you're a very very
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: good teacher, you don't need the union to protect you.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You're going to be in demand and so on. But
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the bad ones require this. I'm on to quote the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: camp Time story if your printed out is twenty printed
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: pages long, and obviously I can't read it here, but
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they've got some interesting points that I want to raise
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it you. Long investigation with the cap Times found the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: State Department of Public Instruction investigated more than two hundred
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin teachers, aids, substitutes, and administrators from twenty eighteen to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three who were accused of sexual misconduct or
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: grooming behaviors towards students. Information previously unknown of the public.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Let me interject, the actual number of courses way higher.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: These are simply the cases that we know about. Think
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: about the number of cases in which a parent finds
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: out that their kids have been messed around with with
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the teacher, and they just pulled the cat out of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the school. They don't say anything that they don't want
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the kid to be in the cross, et cetera. Probably
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: way more but two hundred of these got DPI and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they covered up. Continued the Department's internal records show these
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: allegations included educators sexually assaulting students, soliciting nude photos and children,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: or initiating sexual relationships immediately after students graduated. Licensing officials
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: also investigated educators accus accused of grooming behaviors like flirting
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: with children, spending non school time alone and isolated with students,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: or invading students' personal space by rubbing their shoulders, thighs,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and luwerbacks. Child sexual abuse prevention advocates and researchers say
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: these behaviors have lasting psychological impact effects on children, making
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it harder for them to succeed in school in a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: healthy relationships. The Captimes interviewed seven top seven academics and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: advocates about how the DPI invent instigates and documents educator misconduct.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Each said the department's practices are inadequately protecting students. They
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: quote one paragraph here. Best estimates show one in ten
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: students experienced sexual misconduct from educators during their K twelve
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: student schooling, according to a federal report. No, again, that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: seems high to me, but it's based on a federal report.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: One in ten. Now, maybe that's a broad example of
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: a teacher. Did you know coach pats a kid on
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the butt or something. They're including everything in there, but
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: let's image, it's one in one hundred In Wisconsin, that
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: rate would amount to more than ninety three thousand school children.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: The cap Times found at least forty four percent of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the Department of Public Instructions over four hundred and fifty
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: educator license investigations since twenty eighteen have involved a sexual
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: misconduct or grooming allegation. Think of that forty four percent
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of the cases that they investigated on teacher misconduct involves
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: something pertaining to sexual misconduct. A number of researchers and
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: advocates sy is likely an undercount in these cases. The
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Captimes investigation also found the Department of Public Instruction is
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: dedicating scant resources to investigate educator misconduct, raising questions about
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the quality of its oversight of protection of children. Now again,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: i'll interjec. This is because DPI doesn't want to do
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: oversight of teachers, because Jill Underley is a hack who's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the bag to the Teachers' union. Without them, she
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a job. So the thing that they're most
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: required to do oversea teachers, they don't do it all. Second,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the department, run by state superintend at Jill Underlay, relies
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: on rudimentary system to track its investigations, obscuring the scale
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of misconduct for policymakers in the public. Licensing officials also
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: allow it. This is the key to me educators under
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: investigation to forfeit their credentials in exchange for avoiding in
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: depth probes. In other words, okay, quit and we won't
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: ask anything else about it continuing. Unlike a different agency
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that were great relates hundreds of other state licensed professionals
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: like nurses and accountants, The DPI doesn't tell the public
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: why an educator lost their license. Out of four hundred
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and sixty one teachers the state investigated from twenty eighteen
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to twenty three for all forms of misconduct, two hundred
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and seven kept their credentials and continue working in schools
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: with children. Where are we going with this? We have
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: an election for governor. As I said, the Republicans have
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: weighed in. Showman is pounding the table, demanding Underly resign.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Tiffany is almost there. He's you can say, this is
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a matter of semantics. He's demanding that. Ever's the governor
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: demanding that Underlay resign because I guess Evers is the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: only guy who's got the position to do so. Where
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: are the Democrats? Sarah rod Regaez. Do you think Jill
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Underlay should resign? Or are you perfectly fine with an
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: agency that is allowing massive sexual conduct to occur by teachers?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: David Crowley, Mendela Barnes, who wants to run for governor,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: what do you think about this? This thing is going
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to be very problematic for all of these Democratic candidates
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: because everyone knows the teachers' union is a major, powerful
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: special interest in democratic politics in Wisconsin. So I'll put
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the question to them, what about the teachers' union and
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: what about the teachers themselves? Do all the rest of
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you teachers who aren't perverts want pervert colleagues? If not,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: then you should demand that Underlay go. There won't be
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: an election. Her term isn't up for another three years.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what happens in a vacancy of DPI,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: but I think that somebody the governor just appoints and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: interim until the next election. So it's going to be
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: another Lefty I wrote a newspaper column. Now I don't
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: know over twenty five years ago. The people who oversaw
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: my column along gone. It was in the early stages
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: of the priest abuse scandal. I wrote a column for
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the Walkashaw Framement in which I made a comment about
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the seriousness of the This is when the sexual abuse
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: scandal was just beginning to go public, and the editors
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: didn't want to publish the column. They thought it was
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: an attack on religion, and it was anything but that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I was trying to aid the church in getting people
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: out of the priesthood who needed to be gotten out.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You see the same thing here, and the Captime story
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: itself has not really been picked up on picked up
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: on by many other news organizations, and I haven't seen
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of them demand the Jill Underlay resign her position.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: This is the worst type of dereliction of the public trust.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Let's turn our attention to another story today. Is I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: was going to have a headlined in today's story by
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the first story that I just did on the teacher problem,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it would have confused it. So it'll be from this
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: point forward it's this is the Mark Bellang Soft on
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Crime podcast. I'm the one going to be soft on
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the crime. I'm going to cite a couple of cases
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: in which I think people were wrongly charged. The first
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: this case went to a jury in Milwaukee County this
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: week and had to do with a Milwaukee firefighter he
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: had to resign and his brother. They were accused of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: assaulting a man in an incident that occurred in twenty
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Fortunately, the jury found the two not guilty,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and I agree with that. Normally, when somebody's accused of
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: assault in Milwaukee in a jury, let's him off. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: rolled my eyes. Oh soft juries again not here. Let
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: me quote from the details on js online. These are brothers.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The last the last names is hyphenate, as you're just following.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Ty Dright Jackson, thirty eight year old former firefighter, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: his brother, Tremmel Dright were found not guilty of all charges.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: The jury deliberated about three hours. Prosecutors charged each brother
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: with first degree reckless battery with substantial battery, first degree
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: reckless injury with substantial battery. According to the defense attorney,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the brothers were stoutled awake in the middle of the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Ninetecember fourth of twenty twenty four, eleven months ago, after
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: an intruder broke into Dright's home on the city's near
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: west side. The intruder, Jalen Nutt, ended the home while everyone,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: including Dright's two children, were asleep. Inside the home, Nutt,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: that's the guy that broke in, was discovered trying to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: enter the master bedroom. The brothers chased the intruder out
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: of the house into a nearby alley, where a fight
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: broke out. Video footage obtained by police showed the brothers punching, stomping,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and kicking Not repeatedly. Court records say Not was later
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: hospitalized and suffered a broken nose, cracked teeth, and facial
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: injuries that required stitches. So here's the thing. Guy busts
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: into their house. Two big guys chase him out of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the house, and then once he's out of the house,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: beat the crap out of him. So I'm sure the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: prosecutors are saying this was not self defense because they
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: got him out of the house and once they got
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: up of it, there's no need for the beatdown. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: say to that, this guy broke into a house. There's
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: little kids in the house. These brothers, in my mind,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: are perfectly justified and beating the crap out of the guy.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: No Wisconsin doesn't have a stand your ground law, as
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida does. Some think floors stand your
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: ground law goes too far in you know, if you
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: hear somebody scratching around of the house, it gives you
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the right to throw fifteen grenades at them and so on.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I think given the circumstances here, the threat that was provoked,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that provoked this is legitimate provocation. And I think the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: guy got what he had coming. I now believe that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee fire chiefs, very good fire chief should offer
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the one brother it was in his house, he was
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: in his brother's home. He should offer him his job back.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: And I applaud the jury for not convicting these two guys.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Somebody breaks into your house when your daughters are little
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in all of that, First of all, I don't think
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: you could beat anybody up. But if you then beat
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the guy up and you chased him out of the house,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: do I think you do anything No. I think good
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Paul said he's got all baseball bat by his bed,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So I agree with letting the guy off. Now a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: story in which I want to make it clear this
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: is not part of that trend of soft end crime.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: This is a story in which very serious criminal behavior
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: is alleged. This is a crash that occurred last week
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Thursday night, November second. The man now charged in Wakshaw's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: County Circuit Court is Casey yayanakapla Yian tough one Yayanaicoppolis
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: casey Yanacoppolis, forty seven. According to the authorities, he crashed
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: his car into a ditch and then ran off and
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: hid inside the car. Killed was his passenger, his seventy
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: seven year old mother. When police got to his house
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and they were looking for him, they found him hiding
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: inside a crawl space inside the house. Somebody else's in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the house helped out and pointed out where he was.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: He refused to cooperate with the investigation, including any kind
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: of drug test, but they did get a coote order
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: for a blood draw. The story on Fox six's site
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: says that the results they send those to the crime lab.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I think the crime lab where they send them to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: The results are not in, but they said that he
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: showed numerous signs of impairment and so on. So who
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: you have a guy probably intoxicated, drives a car into
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a ditch, kills his mother. If it comes back as intoxication.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: First of all, he doesn't stay at the scene of
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: a crash in which his mother, for Heaven's sakes, is dead.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: If it chosen signs of intoxication, I think clearly serious
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: charges have to come into place. I do, however, have
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: some advice for old yayannakau Ya. I shouldn't even have
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to say his last name. Shouldn't be that hardy yanakopolists.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Cross your fingers and hope that your case lands in
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the courtroom of Walkershaw County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner, the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: guy who, as we reported earlier in the week, gave
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: only four months to another miscago man, this one who
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: was driving the wrong way on Moreland Roads super Bowl night,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: blasted out of his mind and crashed into a squad
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: car injuring and a Burlet officer. By the way, I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: have contacted the assistant district attorney in Waukershaw County who
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: handled the case, trying to find out what his sentencing
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: recommendation in that case was, to see whether or not
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the judge simply followed a dopey recommendation from a dumbbell
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: assistant district attorney, or if the judge had a strong
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: recommendation for prison and overruled it just because he's a dumbass.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And I have not gotten cooperation or an answer at
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: this point from the Wakashaw County District Attorney's office. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: did post on X, by the way, earlier in the
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: week a side by side comparison of the two cases,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: in which we talked about a Milwaukee County case in
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: which the circumstances were almost identical. Another wrong way crash,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: this one in Milwaukee County, and it was on I
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: seven ninety four in which person was injured. That guy
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee got three years. I never read comments on
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: my thing on X, just like I don't read emails
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: about this. I just don't read them anyway. I did
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: have some people draw attention though, to me that people say, well,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that's probably because the Milwaukee guy is black. Actually, both
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: guys are white. The Walker show cases white. The Milwaukee
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: case was white, so it's not a racial thing where
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: they got tougher on the black eye. Secondly, people said, well,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: what do I bet the one guy's got the stronger
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: criminal record. Actually, the waker Shaw County guy is a
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: second time Owy offender, the Milwaukee guy first time offender
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: for that, So none of that is implat all. Right,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: now back to the soft on crime. There's this story
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: going on in Greenfield. It's been reported by Fox six
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: in I've heard rumblings on both sides on it. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: don't know what the deal is on police Chief Jay Johnson,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Greenfield's police chief has been suspended with pay for months.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: They never said why, other than the allegations of missus.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Apparently he was given the opportunity to resign and he refused.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: We now know what the allegation is. He had Greenfield
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and by the way, we should mention our radio station
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: is located in Greenfield, not that that's either here nor there. Anyway,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the police chief had a security camera installed on the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: street facing his personal residence and it was installed by Greenfield.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: They alleged that that's misconduct, and he's now facing criminal
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: charges for doing that. The city attorney advised against it.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: The story on Fox six indicates that before he became
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the chief, there were several personnel investigations on him, and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: so what well, if he had all these problems as
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: a supervisor, why the Fire and Police commission make him
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: police chief? The fact matter is he's the police chief,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and anything prior to this I think shouldn't come into play,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: because they did decide we want to read the chech.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: The question now is okay, he tells his people to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: put up a security camera facing his house. By the way,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: he does not live in Greenfield most of our sub
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: in fact, hardly anybody has a residency rule anymore. So
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: he doesn't live in the city of Greenfield. He lives
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: outside in another municipality. But it was Greenfield to put
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: up the security camera. No he didn't. Why'd you say,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Let's say, said Greenfield put the camera in? Yeah, And
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: if I didn't make that clear when I say Greenfield
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: put the camera and Greenfield paid for the camera, it
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't yet. And here's my thought on this. Should a
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: police chief have a security camera in his home? Does
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: he have a reason to feel threatened, et cetera. Who
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: knows they advised him not to do it. These cameras
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: aren't that expensive. I don't believe he could have put
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: in his own camera. However, I don't think that's a crime.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's a reason to fire somebody if you
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: think think it's that serious, or tell him we're going
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to fire you if you don't take it down. Instead,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: they got into this big to do and he refused
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to resign from office over it. Because he refused to
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: resign from office, they're turning this into criminal behavior. With
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: all the threats that are going on to public officials
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and so on. Have a police chief putting up a
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: camera on his own house, may or may not be
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: reasonable or not, and maybe he should have paid for
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: it or not. But I don't think it's criminal behavior.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is something that rises to the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: level of a felony. For heaven's sakes, I think there's
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: obviously now a toxic relationship within the police department in
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Greenfield where people in the fire Police Commission are maybe
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the city or the mayor's office have it in for
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the chief, and the chief thinks that they're trumping up
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: charges against him. My guess is that he is not
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the only police chief in the state of Wisconsin who
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: has got in his community to put up a security
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: camera at his home. And again, whether it's good public
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: policy or not, I just don't think it's a crime. Furthermore,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like he's around doing it. He put in
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the it was put into the voucher. It was a
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: city record that it was paid for. It wasn't like
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: an attempt to embezzle and put in the funds to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: do so. It was right there, done by city cruise
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and so on. Paul said, it's like him taking a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: WISN microphone and using it for some remote with his
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: band or something or another. Yes, I think they could
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: should yell at you for that, and if you don't
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: give the microphobic mc fer, I don't think you should
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: face to many charges for it. I just think it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: making a big Yeah. That's what's going on here is
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that everybody hates each other here, so they're using this
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: as leverage and try to get him to resign. And
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think criminal justice SISIM should be used for that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And I think this attorney's officer back off of this
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and let the lawyers work the damn thing out next.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I am a complete opponent of declaring everything his historic
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: area or historic preservation status to stop somebody from doing
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: something to it, but I approve of it here. The
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Convention Center Board, the Wisconsin Center District wants to tear
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: down the useless Miller Highlife Theater that's the old Milwaukee
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Auditorium and the very useful UWM Panther Arena formerly the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Arena. The City of Milwaukee's Historic Preservation District is
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: moving toward giving them historic status, which should make it
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: hard to tear them down. As I've said, the Auditorium
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: should never have been renovated. It's hardly ever used for anything.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: The Miller I left arena, tear it down. The problem is,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in order to put a hotel there, which is what
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: the Convention Center District wants, you have to tear down
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: both buildings. And the arena is used for lots of
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: things and it is a vital part of the community.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: If you lose the arena, you lose the Milwaukee Admirals.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: If you lose the arena, you lose the Milwaukee Wave.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Because I don't think you can have a professional soccer
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: team playing in a I don't even know where you
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: would find a place big enough for indoor soccer and
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: all the other events that go on there. UWM basketball
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: would have to go back to the Klatchy Center. That
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: arena's used about one hundred nights a year. Furthermore, the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: people who use the arena almost entirely are people here
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in southeast inn Wisconsin, whereas a hotel is used by
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: people by definition who aren't from here. Furthermore, I don't
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: think that there's a market for another one of these hotels.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: They've got an empty lot across the street from the
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: convention center that they've been trying to develop into a
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: hotel for I'm telling you the truth here thirty years
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: and they haven't at a developer. So if the only
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: way we can save the arena is to get the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: historic preservation status, even if it means the completely useless
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Smugler High Life theater is saved in the process. Did
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you follow all of that? Even if you didn't, so
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: what this is the Mark Belling podcast. This is the
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Mark Belling Podcast. Let's talk about the election results. Some
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: are important, others are not. The governorships of New Jersey
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and Virginia. The Democrats won both of them. People are
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: making a big deal out of this. I think that
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: this is kind of a zero the these are democratic states.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Trump did not win Virginia and he did not win
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. So it stands the reason that these states,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: both of which, by the way, New Jersey has a
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: democratic governor Virginia admittedly does not, so that is a flip. However,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the Virginia sick situation is rather unique. Glen Youngkin, the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: governor of Virginia, is just Republican, very popular. His popularity
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: transcends party lines. He was term limited out. He's probably
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: going to be the only Republican governor of Virginia thirty
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: years on either side of it. So, I don't think
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the fact that two democratic states chose democratic governors is significant.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Here's what is Mamdani As I told you he would
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: was elected mayor of New York. Mamdanni is a communist.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: There is no point in not using the term. His
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: ideology as identical to the ideology of both American and
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: non American communists. He calls himself a democratic socialist. Whatever.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: We need to understand that this is now the reality
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party in much of Democratic America. Now,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the disconnect in these stories is in New Jersey and Virginia,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the Democrats running were not running on communist principles. They
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: were running old style Democrats. But in New York Mamdani
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: didn't do anything to hide it. There should be no billionaires.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I guess that means he in the case of somebody
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: like Musk, he just confiscates nine hundred billion dollars or
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: whatever it is and just pocket I don't know, New
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: York is going to go to hell. Everything ever run
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: by communists has gone to hell, and I should put
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: in my asterisk. The Chinese version of communism is not communism.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Communism is an economic system. China practices their version of
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: state controlled capitalism. They simply still call themselves the Communist Party.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I'm referring to the communism of everywhere else, Russia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, Venezuela,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: et cetera. The fact that Mamdani had the support of
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: most officials in New York and was endorsed by many
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Democrats in America. Rebecca Cook, Congress Congress congressional candidate in
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: western Wisconsin. She's the Republican who likely will win the
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: primary to run against Derek Van Ordon. She endorsed Mamdani.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: This is who the Democrats now are. The Schumers and
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Durbans and Baldwin's and the rest of them have ruled
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: over and ceded the party to the aocs and the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Mamdanis and the other communists. The great threat to America
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: isn't the Democrats win elections. It's that the Democrats have
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: become communists and if as a communist nation, we will
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: die as all other communist nations have. And again I
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: do not consider China to be traditionally a communist type nation.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: One of the challenges for Republicans will be to connect
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: other Democrats to this ideology, because when they run in
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a swing state, you know, communism isn't going to sell
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. It's going to sell with about thirty five
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: to forty percent of the voters in about eighty five
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: percent of the Democrats, but the swing voters in between
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: aren't so candidate for the runs of Wisconsin. As a memory,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm not Mandani. I'm not a communist. That
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: may work in governor elections. But now at the national level,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: as you see via the government shutdown, it's AOC and
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the radicals calling all of the shots. New York City
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: going to hell will be terrible for this country because
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: it's the most important city in our nation, but the
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: fact that it will go to hell will be instructive.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: One of the things, though, that I think many on
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the right don't understand, is a lot of physic. We'll
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: let them do it and then people will see. Except
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: they've done it in San Francisco, they've done it in Seattle,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: they've done it in Portland, they've done it in Chicago,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and people don't see. They think that somehow they're dopey.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Local democrat isn't the same thing. It doesn't seem to
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: matter how many times radicalism fails. It doesn't sync in
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: to people that it's going to fail again. There's a
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: reason it fails, and we don't have time on today's
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: podcast to go into all of the reasons. Why. Read
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: distribution of wealth, confiscating wealth, taking away the profit motive,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: don't putting anybody in jail, letting tens of thousands live
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: on the street, all the stuff Mandani is in favor
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: of rent control. Does it work? Other than to say,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I can easily prove that it doesn't work, look at
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: all the times it'sn't tried. It's never worked. Another election,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: California passed this referendum to redistrict the state. It means
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: that five congressional districts think what California is outside of
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the big population centers. There's a big chunk of Republican
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: territory in California. But because California's got so many people
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: fifty million, they don't win statewide elections. But pretty much
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: everything not on the coast in California is conservative. Bakersfield,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: for example, rather conservative area. That's whe Kevin McCarthy, former
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: House speaker, that's what he represented, the areas toward Palm Springs,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit, some of the areas outside of San Diego.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And then you get into the what's the name of
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the Wine country, san Joaquin Valley, that area outside the
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: city of Fresno, outside of Sacramento. Those cities are but
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: outside very republican. And and then the whole northern part
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: of California above San Francisco republican. So there are a
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: number of Republican congressional districts in the state. They voted
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: to withdraw the districts so that all of them get
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: enough Democrats popped in that the Democrats gained five House seats.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: All right, they've done it, and the voters voted to
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: do it. And I suppose the voters are a republican
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: state can vote screw up art. For example, there are
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: any number of states that are overwhelmingly Republican that have
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: two or three Democratic seats, largely because there's a big
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: For instance, Tennessee. I don't know if there's a Democratic
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Congress from Tennessee, but the city of Nashville is very democratic. Louisiana,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the city of New Orleans very very democratic. Kentucky extremely Republican,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: but the city of Lexington and Louisville are very democratic.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Republicans can redraw the distincts in every one of those
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: states to chop up You could, for example, here in Wisconsin,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: chop up the gwn Moore district in Milwaukee, flip it
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: to a couple of suburban disease. You can do this everywhere.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: You notice that this all started when the Democrats lost
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: their cookies over Texas redrawing their lines to favor Republicans.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: If the Democrats are going to do it with five
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: in California, every Republican state that has a state legislature
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: there should do the same damn thing. The alternative is
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: to lose. The media wants to portray the Democrats as
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: having the high ground here, but they've been spending forever
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: complaining about jurymandering and states like Wisconsin, So not the California,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: but a NUSOMP was the guy that pushed this. Let's
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: jurymanner the States, so we get all the seats that
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: we can because we have to do it to stop Trump.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I want to pull out and jury pick out some
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: of the arguments made from the United States attorney and
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the rebuttal to Komy's argument for dismissal. A lot of
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: words there. James Comey, former fa director, his attorney's a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: filed emotion to dismissed the criminal charges against him. The government,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the US Department of Justice, is rebutting that and made
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: a number of points, and they produced several exhibits. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: want to go through a handful of them because they
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: demonstrate the strength of the government case and the overwhelming
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: evidence that Komi was corrupt while FBI director. Quoting Exhibit
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: thirteen includes damning evidence of then FBI Director Komy's handwritten
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: note on FBI director letterhead. I love this. You can't
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: get it much better than that. It's in his writing,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: and it's on an FBI letterhead, evidencing of Komi's knowledge
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: of and even participation in the Russia collusion criminal conspiracy
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: against Trump. So he wrote stuff down. This is during
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the Russia collusion thing that he was sending to associates
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: in the bureau. Exhibit five gets worse komy from his
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: burner Gmail and a burner Gmail is you create a
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: fake account that you can then delete the emails after
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: you send them. The problem, of course, is is that
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: when something's out there in Cyber's face, it's hard to
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: ever come down. His name was Reinhold at Nieber. Reinhold
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Nieber was actually James Colby. Just shows you what a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: dink Coleby is, what a stupid name to uses. Your
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: fake name better be like if you use this first
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: of all, all fake names, sounds stupid. You can't come
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: up with a fake name that doesn't sound stupid. Reinhold Neiber,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I mean me, it just sounds like he's some sort
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: of dignified pampas ass royalty or something or another. Anyway,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: as Reinold Nieber, he sends out this email stating quote
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: to me, no need at this point it would be
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: shouting into the wind. Someday they will figure it out,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: and as Jack and Ben point out, my decision will
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: be one a president elect Clinton will be very grateful
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: for This is referring to starting the Russia colluson investigation,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: and he said, at some point, everybody's gonna find out
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: there's no Russia collusion, but I'm gonna be a hero
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: and Hillary's gonna appreciate it. This is again during the
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: campaign he assumed that Hillary was going to win. It's
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: when he green lit the Russia collusion investigation during the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen campaign. He's got a note saying, yeah, I
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: look at it. I'll find out that he did it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: But Hillary is gonna be the president. She's gonna be happy,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: and everybody's gonna be glad that I did it. Came
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: on next in Exhibit seven, in response to planning a
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: New York Times the election eve hit piece against Trump,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: then FBI Director James Comy tells FBI Special government employee
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Daniel Richmond, quote, well done, my friend, who knew this
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: would be oh so a fun. Comy denied in congressional
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: testimony that he ever knew that anybody leaked to The
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: New York Times. We now have documentation in which he
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: praises a guy for leaking to The New York Times.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Dead to rights, they got him perjury. Exhibit ten shows
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: FBI Special government employed Daniel Richmond by the way, his
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: fake name on the emails is Michael Garcia. That's at
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: least a regular old fake name, right. Wonder what kind
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: of fake you see? You're not creative, what would your
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: fake name be. You'd be so stupid you use like
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: your first name, Paul Kramer. It's like, but I have
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: a radio name in Oshkosh. I called myself Mark Belson.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: But that's because we didn't like having to have the name,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: so we all took names that were almost the same
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: name that we had. Anyway, total aside, here is leaking
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: as an anonymous source to The New York Times reporter
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Michael schmid On, behalf of then FBI Director James Comey.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Comy testified to the US Senate Judiciary Committee that he
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: never did this. All right, I am now going to
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: embark on a feudal attempt to avoid public confusion on something.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: There are just some things in which you know, people
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: are going to be mixed up and it's going to
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: be impossible. Will to knock the story down. Here's the story,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: and then I'm going to try to clarify the story.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Hughsar's House of Fine Diamonds is closing. It's in West
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: bed I'm just telling you it doesn't matter how many
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: times you mentioned, people are gonna think that Craig Hussar's
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Fine Diamonds is closing. They're separate companies. They're just some
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: businesses in which everybody with that name seems to go
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: into the business. A moving company in Milwaukee with those
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: like two companies that have the same family last name,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: but they're totally separate companies. They're different. There's a relationship,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: but different families started the business. Craig Hussar's Fine Diamonds
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: is in Brookfield. It was started by his parents. This
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: one Hussar's House of Fine Diamonds in West Bend, it
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: was Michael Husaer and Mary Hussar and now the owners there.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: It was started by Michael Huser's a different father, so
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: they both family businesses that have been forever. But it's
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the West Bend Hughes Sire's, which is not connected to
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: the Brookfield Craig Hughsar that is closing. I'm just telling you,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Craig Usar is going to go through hell for the
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: next three years of people thinking that he's closed. They're
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: going out of business because people just think it's the
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: same business. And they probably confuse the two forever. One's
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: in Brookfield, the other ones in West bed I think
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I've accomplished nothing with this. I think we just going
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: to be confused. Oh I heard Craig Ughsa is going
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: out of business. He's not. It's the other Husar's the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: West Bend one. It's going out of business. This is
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: the Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling Podcast.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I want to spend a moment discussing Dick Cheney. It's
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: very hard to summarize his life and legacy. If you're
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: not aware Cheney died at the age of eighty four.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: The answer is, in my view, it's very mixed. People
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: have jumped all over Donald Trump. Why has any said it?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I know as of the timing of this podcast, he
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: hasn't said anything. Dick Chenney tried to destroy Donald Trump.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Trump's not gonna say anything good about Channey now that
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: he's dead. And I understand that when someone dies that
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I think is despicable, I don't go dancing on his grave,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: especially if it's I mean, it's an international tyrant, you know,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Saddam Hussein, that's different. But if there's somebody that I
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: didn't like locally and they die. Just keep my mouth shut.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is is that Dick Cheney
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: was probably the strongest vice president in American history. He
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: ran foreign policy, directed the war in Iraq. And that's
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: not a knock on w. Bush. It's smart that a
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: president uses his vice president and his skills. And Chaney
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: showed stern backbone. He was revisedilled by the left. He
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: was hated as much in his day as Charlie Kirk
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: was hated in his Yet he stood his ground and
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: on many things, including the terror threat, he was right.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I think he was proven wrong about Iraq. Trump made
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: that case, and I think that the case that American
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: intervention in Iraq didn't accomplish anything is now in retrospect correct.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: But it was my position, was Dick Cheney's position at
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: the time. The great flaw in the Cheney Bush doctrine
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: was the belief that you could turn any Muslim country
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: into a democracy. Then I wired that way, so all
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: you ended up with was Iraq under different control and
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: created a tremendous upheaval in the Middle East, which eventually
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: strengthened Iran. So Trump starts running and Trump, you know,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: had this attitude forever, including when he started running for president.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: He was crapping over all these wars started by the
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Bush wing of the Republican Party. Cheney hated that, and
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: because he hated it and he had thin skin, he
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: turned on Trump. And I think this is the whole
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: roots of Liz Cheney hating him and the whole thing.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: He can't stand the fact that Donald Trump was out
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: there giving his version of history that Bush and Cheney
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: were bad for America. And as a result, Dick Cheney
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: destroyed his legacy. He endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Kamala
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Harris being elected president would have destroyed our nation, the
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: very nation that Dick Cheney spent most of his career defending.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Cheney became a demagogue in hyping January sixth. So his
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: legacy is mixed in many respects. He was heroic, but
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: he screwed up the last ten years of his life.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: But back at the time, remember Bush and Cheney were
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: running after eight years of Clinton in which America's credibility
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: on the international stage was compromised. You know, we were
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: selling secrets to China. We were doing all those inside
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: deals with Charlie Tree and John Wong. The American military
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: was weakened, and Bush and Cheney responded to that, and
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: they also, aside from the war in Iraq, they responded
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: to the terror threat by defending our country. The war
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: in Afghanistan went on too long, but the initial go
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: knockout al Qaeda I think was justified. I think we
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: should have knocked out Olkeddy and then not worried about Afghanistan.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: So there were certainly things that our praiseworthy and defensible
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: that Dick Cheney was involved in. But he's left a
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: sour taste in many of our mouths over the fact
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: that he allowed this attack on some of the positions
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: that he took to sell out our nation and support
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: people who wanted to destroy our country or were clearly
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: too incompetent to run our nation. I e. Kamala Harris
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: as for president, not saying something I don't find some
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: dignitary to show up and see seven terms of going
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: to the funeral, little the Cheneys to want them there.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: So silence in this case is probably appropriate. By the way,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think silence in my case is hardly ever appropriate.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: If I was silent, I would have no career. If
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I had to do a job in which I didn't
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: shoot off my big mouth. What would that be? There
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be much that would be out there
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: for me for those of you wondering. Our very good horse,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Special Wands sold at auction Monday night at the Facing
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Tipton Sale in Kentucky. She got she went for one
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: point three million dollars. Remember I'm a partner. I don't
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: get the entire one point three million dollars. It was
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: read in them my rain jib. What I thought was fair, inappropriate,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and what it worth is the owners, new owners or Japanese.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: They may continue to raise their centers straight to the
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: breeding shed, but turned out to be a great horse
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: for us and financial windfall as well. Another podcast coming
