  Speaker 2: I'm not sure most people are are aware of how
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: fast this socialism thing is happening in the United States.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I've got several different stories today that all lead to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the same conclusion, and that is that the socialists have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: taken over the Democratic Party, not our taking over, have
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: taken over and the non socialism that Democratic Party are
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: so close to socialism or simply so happy to ride
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: whatever train takes them to victory, that they're not going
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to oppose it, which means that if we put Democrats
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: back control of our country or even partial control, will
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: say the House and Senate this year, we are facing
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: our most serious threat to American way of life, independence, freedom,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and capitalism ever. Now I realize that sounds like hyperbole.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: What's hyperbole. It's a thing that almost every talk show
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: host other than me engages in overstate something, make a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: huge deal over something that isn't anything, to get everybody
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: all riled up. I grant you many do this. I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: not doing this, This is closer than you think, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it's occurring with perhaps the perhaps unwitting aid a very
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: moderate Democrats. This poll, CBS News poll was released three
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: days ago. They polled across section of American Democrats. Democrats
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of them say they have a positive
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: view of socialism thirty two percent capitalism. That's overwhelming. Furthermore,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: when you break it down by college education, those Democrats
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: with a four year college degree or higher, seventy one
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: percent have a favorable view of socialism. So when you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: see things like the phenomenon in Wisconsin of hog who
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: despite being terribly stupid and a terrible candidate and being opposed,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: but the democratic establishment of our own state almost winning
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in a swing state, you get a sense of where
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: this is coming from. Work with me on this, because
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we're going to walk through here in our first segment,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: just how close we are to having one of our
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: two major parties being Marxist and thus, if they win,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: becoming a Marxist nation. Have you ever been offered an
• 3:47

  Speaker 2: and get the best service because U Line believe service
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is essential, not an option. Several states had their primary
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: elections yesterday. Wisconsin was last week. Let's surry pick out
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: one result. Florida. Now, Florida is one of those states that,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: over the last twenty years has just had a radical
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: shift in political support. Florida was the biggest swing state
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of the United States. Remember the two thousand election Bush
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: versus Gore, the dead heat, The one that went to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the United States Supreme Court was Florida. Even as recently
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: as twenty sixteen, when Trump ran for the first time
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: against Hillary, his win in the Florida primary was considered
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the breakthrough in the election. Florida was a toss up
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: state or if anything, leaned Hillary. Since then, Florida's overwhelmingly
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Republican Ron De Siantis is term limited out, but he
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was elected twice as governor of the state, the second
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: election in a landslide. In the presidential election in twenty
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: twenty four, only four counties in all of Florida went
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: for Kamala, even Miami Dade County. And I think I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: not sure of this. I think it's the only county
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in America that is dominated by a large city that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: went Republican. I think that's the case. There may be
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a couple of others, but I don't think that I'm
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: wrong about that. So that's a Republican Florida has gone.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: The overwhelming majority of the US House district of Florida
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are Republican. Nonetheless, there's still a Democratic party there. In
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: yesterday's primary election, about one point seven million voters vote
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: in the Republican primary and about one point three million
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: in the Democratic primary. That's not closed, but one point
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: three million isn't anything. Now, I should mention Florida is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a closed primary state. Independents cannot vote in the primary
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: election in Florida. You have to register by political party.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: By the way, it's a public record. For that reason,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: some people who don't want anybody to know their politics,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: they don't vote in primaries, or they simply register independent.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: If you register is an independent, you can't vote in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a primary. You can switch your primary. In other words,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you can switch your registration. If I vote a Democrat forever,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I can switch over to the Republican side and vote
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: into that primary. But you have to change your registration
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: in advance of the election to do it, so it's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a closed primary. We have an open primary system in Wisconsin.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: People can vote in whatever primary they want, they just
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: can't vote in both the same time. The reason this
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is key is we know that in Florida in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: primary election yesterday, the only people voting in the Democratic
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: primary are stated Democrats. So you can't say that this
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: is Republican crossovers or anything else. It is Democrats. The
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Republican incumbent is actually not running for reelection. She was
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: appointed to the United States Senate to fill the term
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of Marco Rubio when he was named Secretary of State.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Her name is Ashley Moody. She sailed, of course, to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the Republican nomination. On the Democratic side, it was assumed
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that this pain in the ass named Alex Vindman was
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: going to win. Alex Vinman had way more money than
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: his opponent, who is a socialist. You may recall Vinman.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Vinman is the guy who rated out President Trump right
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: after the twenty sixteen election, when he had a telephone
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: call with the Prime Minister of Ukraine Zelensky, and asked
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: him to reopen the investigation into the Biden family corruption
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and their relationship with the Ukrainian natural gas company Barisma.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I think a perfectly reasonable request for the President of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the United States to make about illegal activity that was
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: going on between Americans and those in the Ukrainian government. Nonetheless,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Vinman was the guy that blew the whistle outed. They
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: said that this is a terrible thing that Trump did,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and so forth and so on, and Vinman's at a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: full curer on the left ever said this is how
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: big of a deal he is. I don't think I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: remember this, but I've read this in the story. They
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: actually cast him in a role in Larry David shokerby
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: your enthusiasm, Dave Michaels is in for Jason and ay
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: he remember that? How did you remember that? Or did
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you read that in a story? Here's a remember anyway, Vinman.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So he was the endorsed Democratic candidate and he had
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I think the number here is fifty times more money
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: than his Democratic Democratic opponent. The Democratic opponent is a socialist.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Her name is Angie Nixon. Nixon beat Vinman in the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Democratic primary yesterday, totally outspent way, less name recognition, simply
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the backing of a handful of the icons of the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: socialist movement in America. That's all she had, and it
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: wasn't that close. This result is being called shocking. I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: was just down on Florida this past weekend. It would
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: just assumed that Vinman was going to win, and Vinman
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: would face a very uphill battle against Ashley Moody in
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the November election, because, as I say, Florida has become
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a very republican state. Nonetheless, Finman was just presumed to win.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: There were about one point three million votes cast in
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the Democratic primary, and a socialist beat a more mainstream
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: oriented Democrat in that primary, despite being endorsed by nobody
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in prominence in Florida and being drastically outspent. There's only
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: one way that happens, and that is if most of
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the Democrats in Florida are socialists. It's the only explanation
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: for it. There were no by the way, there were
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: no side issues. There wasn't. For example, in Wisconsin, there
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: were the unearthed tweets with Francesca Hang and also the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: interviews that Hank did in which she came across as
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: just an absolute idiot. And there were no scandals involving
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: either the two candidates. So it was a straight up
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: vote between a very liberal Democrat from the Democratic establishment
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in Florida and a socialist. The voters chose the socialist. Now,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: what I'm driving at here is my point that most
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Democrats are now socialist. This has happened so fast. I'm
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: probably ten years. Ten years ago is when they would
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: all deny it. You know, we conservatives have been accusing
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Democrats of socialism forever and ever and ever because a
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: lot of the things that they believed in were socialist
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and nature. I mean, most social welfare programs are socialist.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Anything that the government operates is socialist. So were is
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that socialist? That's socialists, that's socialist. And they'd always deny it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Why that's a slur. They denied it, and then with
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: almost no transition, stop denying it. And now they've gone
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: from no longer denying it to bragging about it. Fifty
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: eight percent Democrats and the CBS news pools say that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: they support socialism seventy one percent of those with college degrees.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And now we hold these elections and all over the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: place in democratic primary socialists are winning. People say, well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: what about Wisconsin. First of all, Wisconsin was closed, it
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: was only three thousand votes, And secondly, you had an
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: incredible blitz with the Democrat establishment doing everything in its
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: power to stop the socialists from winning. And also given
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the fact that we have an open primary, I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: that there's a fair amount of evidence that Republican leading
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: voters went over and voted for David Crowley against the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: socialists out of fear that a socialists would be elected
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: governor of the state of Wisconsin. A lot of people
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: thought that there would be Republicans who would switch over
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and vote for Hong because she's more beatable, But in
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the most Republican counties, those were the ones that Crowley
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: did the best. For example, Crowley won huge in both
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Washington and Wakeshaw County, both Republican counties. Next, we have
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: what would seem to be the opposite example here, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I'm pointing out that it leads to the same problem.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: One of the weirdest political states in America is Alaska,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and part of it is because they have their hold
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: their elections Weirdly, they propose these kinds of voting schemes
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin all the time. Unfortunately we've rejected them. Alaska
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: has this. First of all, Alaska's voting results always come
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: in incredibly late, because first of all, the Alaska time
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: zone is like it's over there by Russia. Their polls
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: close way, way, way late. And secondly, because so much
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of Alaska is so remote, it takes forever for the votes.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of it is very low tech
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: counting paper ballots, and it takes forever them to be recorded,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I mean a day later. Alaska is like a thirty
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: percent of the vote anyway, and then if they've got
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: this is compounded by the fact that they use ranked
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: voting from a lot of their elections. In addition to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: all of that. While Alaska is in presidential elections, always Republican,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and I think the presidential election is the purest way
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: of determining what a state's politics are. The Republicans win
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Alaska every four years in the presidential election, but in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: their other elections it gets weird. For example, one of
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: their United States Senators, Murkowski, is a very liberal, let's say,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: very moderate Republican. So even though the state votes overwhelming
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the Republican in these presidential elections, they elect to the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: United States Senate, and part of this is again this
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: ranked voting thing that they haven't Also, there's a tendency
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in Alaska for candidates to run as independence, so you
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: can often have three candidates on the ballot, and so
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: it's a state that gets complicated. There's a Senate race
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: in Alaska this fall. One of the candidates who is
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: polling very well. By the way, the results have been
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: trickling in in this race, but I'm not focused on
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the results so much as i am the rhetoric. One
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic candidates who's polling very very well, is
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: doing well because of the seeming disavowal of socialism. Her
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: name is Peltola. She's been elected to the House of
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Representatives in the state of Alaska and now she's running
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: for the Senate. Quoting a political scientist at the University
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: of Alaska, Fairbanks, this is from USA today. She is
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a Democrat, but she's sort of a different type of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Democrat than sort of the national profile of Democrats because
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: she supports energy projects here and oftentimes kind of connects
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: herself to Don Young, who was our fifty year representative
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: in the state, and he was a Republican. So the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: point is that Patola is appealing to voters in Alaska
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: even though she's a Democrat, because some of her beliefs
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: seem well Republican. Here's the problem. If she's elected, if
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that seat goes Democrat, it doesn't matter what she says
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that her politics are. The Democrats always vote together. The
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: only exception we have right now is Fetterman, and that's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: still rare. Fetterman will talk a good game a lot.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Fetterman reminds me of Joe Manchon of West Virginia. In fact,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: he's replaced him. Joe Manchin when he was the Senator
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: from West Virginia no longer in would criticize the left
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: wing of the Democratic Party all the time and claim
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that he's a moderate, but anytime they really needed his vote,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: it was there. Fetterman is the new Mansion. But other
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: than a handful of votes, they all stick together. So
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: if the Democrats in the Senate become primarily socialist leading,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if some of them are not, because
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: they're going to vote with the socialists. All they need
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: is the majority. If the Democrats take over the House.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: It means the Socialists take over the House because the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: party's going to vote as a black They just don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: break ranks. Look for example, at what's happened in Wisconsin
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: sins the governor primary. There isn't any rank or at
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: all between the socialists who lost hang and the candidate
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: who won Crowley. In the end, they all flock together.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Now my explanation for that is is the ideologies aren't
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: that much different. Crowley presents himself as a mainstream Democrat,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: but by his own statement, I don't really agree with
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: disagree with Hang on anything. So we see now this
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: twin threat. Nationally many Democrats have gone socialists. But the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: second part of the threat. In some of the more
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: conservative states, Democrats are running as moderate, but if they win,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: they will essentially be in the sack with the socialists
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: because the party always sticks together. Republicans are incapable of
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that because there's three Republican wings. And you see the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: incredible challenge, for example, that Mike Johnson has in the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives. On the one hand, he has the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: freedom clock is very very conservative. Then he has the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: pragmatic kind of conservative mega type, and then you have
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the moderates, and they break ranks all the time. You
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: see the problem right now when the United States Senate
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and the just inability to pass the election reforms that
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: President Trump has been pressing for. We can't get them
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to pass a bill requiring photo yds to vote. We
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: can't get them to pass a bill require and proof
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of citizenship to be a voter, and so on, because
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: a handful of Republicans simply hold out and will not
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: vote for it. The Democrats never have that problem. They
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: passed Obama Care by one vote, and every Democrat voted
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: for it. So you see my point, as voters fall
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: for this notion of well, this Democrat doesn't seem to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: be so bad, they don't understand that when you're voting
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: for them for a legislative body, it is different when
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you vote for a governor. I'll explain that in a moment.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You can have a well i'll explain it out. You
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: can elect, say in Kentucky, where they've elected a Democratic
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: governor or a Republican state. That governor can then govern
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: as a moderate. But when you're in a legislative body
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: in the United States Senate, you're one of one hundred
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: members and if you get majority, you're fifty one of
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: fifty one or more. They vote as a block, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the party that you are in controls everything that's past
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: and everything that doesn't get to come forward and so on.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So you can claim that you're a moderate all you want,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: but if you vote with the radicals ninety nine point
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: nine percent of the time, you are a de facto radical.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So as we look at what some belief shapes up
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to be a big Democrat year because a Trump some
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: popularity readings are hot, He's not popular right now. Secondly,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: off your elections generally terrible for the party that's in
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: control of the White House. If the Democrats make gains,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: particularly with candidates that are moderate, winning swing states, it
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: will empower the political party that itself has morphed into socialism.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Let's move to another story. There's actually a really interesting story.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: There's this company called Meridian excuse me, Median Strategies. They
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: said they were a polling firm. They released polls in
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: California and Wisconsin over the last couple of months. In California,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: they released the poll in the mayor's race showing that
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Karen Bass, the incumbent Democrat, is way ahead of her
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Democratic challenger, who is to the left of Bass, as
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: hard as that is to believe. In Wisconsin, their poll
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: showed Francesca Hang with a better than twenty point lead
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: in the Democratic primary for governor. Here Now, with regard
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to that second pool, that poll did in fact mirror
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the Marquette University Law pool, and the Marquet University Law
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Pool is the most prominent pool of Wisconsin. The company
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: this week admitted that they never took any polls. They
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: made it up. From what we've been able to tell,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: this poll wasn't really cited much in Wisconsin, but it
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: was cited. It was a big deal in California. Why
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: in wiscon said, we have the Marquette Law poll, which
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: everybody pays attention to, and this other poll had pretty
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: much the same margin, So nobody really needed to cite
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: that poll because the poll that everybody knows about showed
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the one thing. In Los Angeles, they're polling two and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a half months before the general election, and there wasn't
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a big time poll that had come out recently on
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the mayor's race into La so I got attention in California,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: but they never polled anybody. They issued a statement saying
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: we did this as an experiment. You're here by this.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: This is, by the way, an excuse that a lot
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: of criminals make when they get caught doing something. They
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: say that they were doing it as a way of
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: exposing something. In fact, there's a Wisconsin conservative guy from
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin who said that he was trying to expose how
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: easy it is to come at fraud and elections in Wisconsin.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: So he engaged in illegal voting activities in an attempt
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to draw attention that well, he took conviction off and
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I think in his case it was sincere. He was
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: doing it to draw attention to how easy it is
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to scam the voting system. But often you'll have when
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: somebody gets caught doing some well, I was just doing
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: it to prove what, you know, bad the security as
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I was trying to help, trying to help, trying to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: help the company, says. Media and Strategy says that they
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: were trying to determine what happens if you just put
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a poll out there, will the media and everybody else
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: actually jump out and report it even though you didn't
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: conduct a pole And the answer is in California, they did.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: We have several types of fake news. You hear Trump
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: using the term fake news, for example, to refer to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the biased mainstream media. Then there's the fake news that's
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: on the internet where you'll put up it's called clickmade
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: story that isn't true, a headline that isn't true, hoping
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that somebody clicks on it, and then when you click
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: on it, they just leaf cookies on your computer. That
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: fake news. And then there's just the fake news hoaxes,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: a big hoaxes, and these have happened like numerous times.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: They'll say that somebody prominent has died. It's just a
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: fake story that's put out there on the Internet. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: then there's this the actual mainstream media being now not
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: so much biased as simply shoddy and incompetent. Now, there
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: are a number of polling firms that have been around
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: for a long time, and we've all heard of them.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through all of the names,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: but Suffolk University, NBC News, Fox News, they often do
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: these polls in tandem with various companies more conservative leaning polls.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: There's Rasmus in Wisconsin. There's market university law. So there's
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: no shortage of polling firms and they're all pretty much known.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: So if somebody comes out and issues a press re
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: league saying that this is the result of their poll,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and you've never heard of this company before, wouldn't you
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: think that a reporter would question who are you and
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: do at least some digging to make sure you actually
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: took a poll. Next, you also want to make sure
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: that it isn't a group that's trying to push an agenda.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: For example, conservative organization takes a poll off and you're
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: going to see a result that leads to conservative telling
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: people what conservatives want to hear. The same thing with
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a liberal organization if the group isn't on the up
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and up. There's a company in Slinger that the school
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: districts hire all the time before they do school referendums.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: They're called School Perceptions. It's a company that does buias
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: polls because they want to give the school. They tell
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the school district, look, I'll come up with a poll
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: here that's going to help you build support for your referatum.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: So they buy. I asked the questions, the poll respondents
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: come back, yeah, yeah, we want to raise taxes for this,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that or the other thing, so the school to successful.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: We took a poll and it says we want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: do it. That's what we're putting another ballot. In this case,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: this company wasn't even that they didn't even do a poll.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: They didn't do a bias poll, they didn't do a poll.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: They just put up press release and said that they did.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Here's the next thing. Nobody knows who they are. It's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: unclear if this is a crime because simply saying you
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: conducted a poll when you didn't, you didn't swear under
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: oath or anything. You're just telling a lie that a
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: bunch of people fell for. But nobody has yet identified
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: who it is that's behind this. Is this again a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: bunch of scammers in Africa creating some internet scam? Or
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: is it just a bunch of people sitting somewhere in
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the United States saying is the news media so stupid
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that we could put on a poll and say the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles mayor's race at the Wisconsin governor's race and
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: get people to cover it. This only happens when news
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: organizations don't do any digging at all. For example, they
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: just report the press release. What are the things that
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the basic level digging is you get the press release
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: saying there's this poll. You get on the phone and
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you contact the company behind the polling company and start
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: asking them about it. What's your methodology, Where did you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: come from? I never heard from you, obviously say they
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: didn't do any of those things because the company wasn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: even real. I will note that in both cases the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: poll showed overwhelming support for a liberal candidate. Now, maybe
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: that's just the function of the races that they were doing,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: but often if the media hears what they want to hear,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: they'll be less skeptical in reporting the results of something. Now,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I do believe in Wisconsin at the time that they
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: put this poll out at the same time as the
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Marquet Law pool probably was up by twenty two percent.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Because the last Marquette Law pole was taken two weeks
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: before the election. I think Franklin runs the Markette Lawpoole
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: has to rethink his timetable here. Everything changed during those
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: last two weeks. Tony Evers came out in Indoor state.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: First of all, Rodriguez dropped out of the race only
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: three weeks before the election. Crowley got back in Tony
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Evers endorsed Crowley. They raised quickly millions of dollars to
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: run TV ads everywhere for Crowley. Hong's tweets were unearthed
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: by the Evers campaign team and leaked to the media,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: not leaked put out to the media. And then hang
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: went on national TV on numerous national interviews. She made
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: a fool of herself on Fox, CNN, and MSNBC, all
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: of them. All of those things changed in the last
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: two weeks of the election, which clearly I think changed
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: the results from individual voters. I've got another story for
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: you this. I'm not saying the story has gotten no coverage.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: It's actually showing up today even though it's a couple
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: of days old. But it's not getting a lot. This
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: is a big deal. A former top aide to Anthony
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Fauci has just entered into a plea bargain with federal prosecutors,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: accused of evading public records laws to conceal government documents
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: related to the grant research that funded the activities in
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the Wuhan lab. The guy's name is David Morrins. He
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: was a senior official at the National Institute for Allergy
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and Infectious Diseases. He is admitting that they tried to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: suppress public records that showed that that agency, ultimately controlled
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: by Fauci, gave grant money to a nonprofit organization, which
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: then turned around and sent the money to the Wuhan
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Lab in China, which then started conducting research on a
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: lab created virus which became known as COVID once it
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: got out of the lab. The key on the fact
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that this guy is pleading guilty here is what. By
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the way, the guy's seventy eight years old. Whenever the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: FEDS cut a plea bargain with the first guy in
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: almost always the terms of that plea bargain require cooperation,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: meaning A you admit it and b you telling everybody else.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I believe that this is an indication that an indictment
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: of Fauci is now very possible. Did Morans act alone?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Why would he? If Morens testifies under oath or to
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a grand jury which is under oath, that Fauci was
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: involved in concealing this grant money. They've got a strong
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: case against Fauci for violating federal law. Now, why is
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Fauci so hell been and I've been on this issue
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: really since COVID began. Why did Fauci not want anyone
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to know about this? Laundered grant. First of all, in
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the United States, it's illegal to do the type of research.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: It's a form of gain of function research. Rand Paul
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: will go on and on and on and explain to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you about this. It's illegal to do it in the
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: United States for precisely the reason of what happened in COVID,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: for fear of what if what are these viruses that
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: we create gets out of the lab. Most viruses have
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: no cures, some have treatments. The way we deal with
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: with most viruses is we hope that the human body
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: develops immunity it could fight it off. The viruses that
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: are easily transmittable are more dangerous than the ones like
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: say AIDS, HIV really that require blood to blood contact.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: So I mean when you create a new virus, given
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the fact that most of these viruses don't have anything
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that can kill them, there are anti virals for some drugs,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: but mostly their trading them. They don't cure them. Very
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: very frightening. What can happen? Well, in Wuhan, they were
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: working on this and it got out of the lab.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Either deliberately or not, we don't know, but it got
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: out of the lab. Now, why didn't Fauci want anybody
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to know. First of all, Fauci may argue that this
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: what he did was legal because he gave the money
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: to a nonprofit in North Carolina and they gave it
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to the Wuhan Lab. Of course, the nonprofit in North
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Carolina was just the middleman. Fouchi wanted to have the research. Then,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: because he's the mad scientist that he is, he wanted
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: to do this, so he ran it through them. But
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: he didn't want anyone to know he did this. Why well,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: aside from the fact that it's against the law, Let's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: imagine early on, we're talking twenty and twenty one, this
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: isn't all of this covering up was going on. Let's
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: imagine early on in COVID we found out that the
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: virus A came from the Wuhan Lab and B. Fauci
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: funded it. It would have destroyed his credibility as the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: guy that's fighting COVID. Think about this, the guy that
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: was in charge of our policy to fight the virus
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: was in fact the guy who funded the creation of
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the virus. I've argued for the longest time that the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: truth thought always comes out, sometimes it takes a long time.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: And often when it does, everyone has moved on. And
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: what you're seeing right now with Fauci is almost nobody
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: on the left is defending Foucci anymore. There's instead saying,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: why are we going? Why are we're wire? Of course
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: they're saying that because, as it turns out, we were
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: lied to about COVID. Every decision that we made in
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: terms of public policy and COVID was a mistake. And
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the guy that was directing all of this was not
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: only virtually directly responsible for the COVID outbreak, but his
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: responses had nothing to do with public health and had
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: everything to do with covering up his own role in
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the creation of this virus. Next story, this one is
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I talk all the time about the perfect story. This
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: one isn't perfect. It's really close. What's the perfect story?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: A story that's interesting in and of itself but explains
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: fire larger things than the story itself. The reason this
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: story isn't interesting is the first part. Some people won't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: find the actual story all that interesting, but the larger
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: point is still there. I find it interesting because I've
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: been on this issue as long as I've been in Milwaukee.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: The Milwaukee Metropolitan sewerage district is privatized. We do two
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: kinds of things with water treatment. The Milwaukee water Works
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: that's the water coming in. That's government run. The water
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: that we send out, in other words, the water that
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: comes out of the sewers and is pumped into Lake Michigan,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that's MMSD. MMSD doesn't bring the water in. It's the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: one that spits the water out. It treats it and
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: then spits it out, except and it rains a lot,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: then it doesn't treat it. MMSD for decades has contracted
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: with private companies to run the wastewater treatment plant otherwise
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: known as the sewage Plant. For the last twenty years,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the operator of the plant is Veolia Violia took over
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: the operation of the plant after the cryptosporidium several years
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: after the cryptosporidium outbreak had occurred in Milwaukee. Not necessarily
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: a related component, and the cryptospuridium is not necessarily to
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: had anything to do with the wastewater treatment problems that existed.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: The big controversy that I've had over MMSD is the
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: fact that we spent hundreds of millions of dollars on
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the Deep Tunnel project. Dumped the cost on suburban communities
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: that are not part of MMSD but merely contract with it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: All in an attempt to we were told end sewage dumping,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: and we didn't end sewage dumping. What we did not
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: do is the thing that every modern community in Wisconsin
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: does have two sewer lines. In the entirety of the
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin, communities have two sewer lines. One is
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: where untreated water goes out toilet water and so on.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: The other is for rainwater overflow from lakes and rivers
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: and simply raids you although it rains, the water goes
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: under the strain of the street. That the only places
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: in the state of Wisconsin that have one line where
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: it's combined. Downtown Milwaukee and the village of Shorewood, West
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Alice has separated sewer lines. Brookfield has separated sewer lines.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Where do you live, Dave you live in Milwaukee downtown
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: or somewhere else? Oh, in the suburbs? Which one? Why
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: are you being so secretive for your that some soccer
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: is going to show up at your door and look
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: for you, or the southwest side of the city itself,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: so you're probably separated there because you're on the southwest side,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it's downtown and Shotwood. Everywhere has separated sewers. The reason
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: it's obvious when it rains, the amount of money going
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: into the sewer system is way way higher because it's raining.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I'm doing this podcast than Wednesday afternoon, the big storms
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: all through the area on Tuesday night, tornado warnings and everything.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Phones are buzzing. You want to have two sewer lines
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: because the water that the rain water that comes off
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: the street, well, somewhat dirty because it hits the street,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: or somewhat dirty because it's rolling off of the mud,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: is nowhere near as dirty as the water that's coming
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: out of toilets and industrial systems and so on. But
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee and Shorewood did not separate their sewers. They instead said,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: let's build the deep tunnel. The end result is the
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: same problem that we had before. The deep tunnel exists.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: When there's a heavy rainstorm, the combined sewer system overflows.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: All the other part of the area is able to
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: handle it because the sewer systems are separated. But the
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: last place that the sewage water goes to has to
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: run through downtown Milwaukee in order to get to Jones Island.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: It goes into the system in downtown Milwaukee, and we
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: get these overflows. All right. The company that operates the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: water treatment plant gets ten year contracts. The current operator
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and vendor is Violia. The Olia's had the contract, They've
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: run through two ten year terms. The current contract runs
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: out in a year and a half. In twenty twenty eight,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: a competing company wants to take the business away. It's
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: called Jacobs. They both made proposals to the MMSD board.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: The only in fact, for those of you who still
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: get the prediction of the newspaper has been running full
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: page ads in the Rotal Sentinel talking about how a
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: wonderful job they've done in an attempt to sway public
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: opinion to keep them. I don't know the public opinion
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: matters here because the MMSD board is not elected. It's
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: an entirely appointed board, most of the appointees in the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: city of Milwaukee. So Violia and Jacobs both made their proposals.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: A panel appointed by MMSD to review the proposals is
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: unanimously recommending getting rid of Violia and choosing Jacobs. All right,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Remember I said up with a perfect story. I understand
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: many of you right now simply do not care door.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: The second part the larger point than it raises very university.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: The two bids, Violia and Jacobs. Jacobs made the lower bid,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: which when it comes to operating a wastewater treatment plant,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: is certainly important, but it's not the be all in
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: the end all. If you don't think that they'd be
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: any good at it, you'd probably take the higher bid.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: We pretty much know what Violia would do. Operate at
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: the way they have the last ten years, and I
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: think Violia has done pretty good given the fact that
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: they are stuck with a badly designed system. The deep
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: tunnel is nowhere near big enough. We didn't make it
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: big enough. And secondly, it's not Violia's fault that downtown
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee and sure would have combined sewer lines that are
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: going to result in the need to dump raw sewage
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: into Lake Michigan every time there's a terrible rain storm.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: But I haven't given the overall management that they've been. Okay,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: no idea how Jacobs will do anyway, This ad hoc
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: committee recommended Jacobs. But and here's where we're gonna get
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: to the point of all of this. They told Jacobs,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: we're only going to recommend you if you cut ties
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: with Palenteer. If you follow the stock market at all,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: you know who Palenteer is pa l An Tire. It's
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: pulled back a little this year, back and forth, but
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: over the last five years this has been one of
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the hottest stocks on the entire stock market. Pellenteer is
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: broadly speaking a defense contractor, but that's broadly speaking. What
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: they are is a giant contractor. Most of their clients
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: are government, and they operate defense systems and systems that
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: aid other entities of government, and a big portion of
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: what they do is automated in the use of AI
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: and high tech to do the kinds of things that
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: in the past required a lot of human manpower. Human power,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I should say the left hates Palaeer. Now you might
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: say they hate Palenteer because they're a defense contractor. Well,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: they are a defense contractor, although the Defense Department isn't
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: the entirety of their business. Palanteer has cooperated with ICE,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: using its high tech equipment to try to locate for
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: ICE illegal aliens in the United States. Pellaneer is all
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: of these out and the reason the stock is swored
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: is is the government contracts are coming into it right
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: and left, because they simply have figured out ways to
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: do things better than we were doing them before, and
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: way better than government was doing them before. First of all,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I don't even think you have to be very high
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: tech to do something better than the average federal bureaucrat.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: But Pellenteer is evidently very very good at this. But
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: because Palenteer is assisting ICE, the left hates Paleteer. So
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: MMSt told Jacobs, We're only going to give you this
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee contract if you stop doing business with Palanteer, and
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Jacobs okay, fine, what do we need Palanteer for. We're
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: about to get a seven hundred million dollar contract from Milwaukee.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Here's the large takeaway. The MMSD board, which is in
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: charge of wastewater treatment and not polluting Lake Michigan, when
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: might you know, treating our water properly and sending out
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: out of the lake, is basing its decision on who
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: runs this thing for the next ten years on whether
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: or not not whether or not the company cooperates with ICE,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: whether or not they do business with a separate company
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: that cooperates with ICE. So hellbend are liberals in trying
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: to stop Ice. Some deporting illegal immigrants in the United States,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: that they don't want to give a contract to somebody
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: that does business with somebody else to cooperates with ice.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Is it any wonder we're dumping sewage all the time
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: When this is the priorities of the morons on MMSt,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: it's better. There's a guy whose fingerprints are all over
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: every dumped gallon of sewage in the history of Lake Michigan, well,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: in the recent history of Lake Michigan. His name is
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Dennis Krazinski. He used to be the head of the
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: MMSD board. He's on the MMSD board forever. Grazinski, he's
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: a hack. Every time we do sewage dumping, he runs
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: around and pats MMSD on the back for doing a
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: great job of avoiding sewage dumping. He's not on the
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: board anymore. We finally got Grazinsky's water polluting ass off
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: the MMSD board. So when m mist he named this
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: ad hoc committee to go through the two proposals over
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: who's going to operate the sewage plan for the next
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: ten years? Who do you think they named it? Run
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: the ad hoc? Ganski? He's a political cockroach. It doesn't
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: matter how many times you stomp on him. By the way,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: I think that's a bad analogy. You heard that analogy?
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: You stomp on a cockroach and it doesn't die. Haven't you
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of times? I hear you've not heard the
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: thing about you can't kill a cockroach. It doesn't you say,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you've only heard that a couple of times. Oh, but
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: you've heard this analogy. I'm telling Maybe it's because every
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: time I step on a cockroach that suckers dead. I
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: don't know how weak all your feet are. What you do?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I mean part of it is I know that they
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: have more resistance than say an ant, which the ant
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: is dead even before you put your foot down. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: mean they put up no resistance whatsoever, like stomping on
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: a mouse. Never been able to stomp on a mouse.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: If I they're quicker. Cock coches don't move very fast. No,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I get down the My cockroaches are always diferent. Nonetheless,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: so I said, he's a governmental cockroach. I need a
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: better example of something that you just can't ever get
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: rid of. What's a better example of something you could
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: never get rid of? I mean some people would say,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: like they're in laws, who Joe Berry, the old Packer
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Well, he was only there for like three
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: or four years. Becauzinski were pushing thirty years on this thing.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I've made my point. You're listening to the Mark Belling
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Podcast three two one. This is the Mark Belling Podcast.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Two stories connected to one another. We're going to start
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: in the state of Virginia. A man in Virginia beat
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: a murder rap several years ago on the insanity defense.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: You will be hard pressed to find a bigger critic
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: of the insanity defense than me. I acknowledge there are
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: some people that truly are totally out of their minds
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: and have no connection with reality. I find that to
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: be a tiny fraction of people. It is also true
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: that a staggeringly high number of people in the United
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: States are mentally ill and growing. There are numerous theories
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: on it. I have mine. The fact that you are
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: mentally ill doesn't mean that you are insane. In Wisconsin,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: and by the way, every state has its own laws
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: in defining insanity. In Wisconsin, it means you didn't know
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: what you were doing is wrong. That's a rather high
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: burden to be able to cross. The ways that I
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: think we're able to demonstrate the people who claim they're
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: insane or not insane is whether or not they try
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: to get away with what they did. If they try
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: to get away with it, that means they had to
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: have known it was wrong. If they didn't know it
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: was wrong, why would they try to get away with it. Yeah,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I did it because there's nothing wrong with having done it.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: So anyway, this guy's in Virginia and I don't know
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: if it was a judge or a jury, but an
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: idiot judge or an idiot jury, and those are usually
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: the ones that come down with insanity. Verdicts found the
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: guy not guilty of murder, so he has put in
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: a mental institution. The media always falls for that too.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: The only question is whether or not he'll spend the
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: rest of his life behind bars or at a metal hospital.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: They never spent the rest of their lives in a
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: metal hospital. Well, I shouldn't say never. I shouldn't say
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: never almost never. This guy his name is I love this.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to do an order to pronounce it,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to do it syllable by sylloba
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: because it is even by the standards of the wonderful
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: ethnic games and we have in Milwaukee. This is a
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: doozy abdu Loy tosh Poola davs soda. We try to
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: say that last name, pastor tash Poola dav Sova. I
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: didn't get it right, tosh Poulad's soda, tash balad Zoda,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: tash balad zoda, that senat ishazoda. I needed to do
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Giannis's last day of a bunch of times. Now I
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: don't know that we need to do it anymore. Yadis
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: his nast name was so hard to pronounce that people
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: stopped calling his last name out of Nakunpo and they
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: simply started saying Yadas. That's the guy's name, Abdullah tash Plazzola.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: He's in the Northern Virginia Mental Health it's they didn't
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: have said he was convicted of killing so was acquitted
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: of killing someone but found to be insane. Would you
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: believe they give the guy, that guy a day pass.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: It's not a day pass, a forty eight hour pass. See,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: these mental hospitals do this well. What we need to
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: do in order where our treatment is they have to
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: get some fresh air and get out into society a
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: little bit because the thing with these mental health they
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: always want to claim they've cured you. Somebody at a
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: pay grade higher than me needs to do an investigation
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: into the kind of quackery going onto these faces. I'm
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: sure there are many mental health professionals that do an
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: outstanding and a wonderful job, but it sure seems to
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: me that the ones that are in the hospitals for
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: the criminally insane are pretty terrible at it. How have
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: they managed not to have Morgan Geyser get any better
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: over the last ten years. I mean, I understand when
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: she was eleven or thirteen or whatever the hell it was, Okay,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: she's really screwed up. She thinks slender Man is real,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: so she tries to murder her classmate. She busts out
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: of her halfway house. I think it was earlier this year,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: might have been last year. She's running around with a
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: trans guy who's got blue hair or pink hair or
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, tries to escape to Illinois. She did
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: not appear to it. She doesn't appear to be any
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: better at all. What kind of treatment do they give
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: these people? My own belief is is that, like I think,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: one of whatever I hear about these people that are
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: in therapy for thirty years. You're not in therapy, are you?
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: You're not. That stigma's kind of gone. I think that
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Tony Soprano wented that stigma, didn't he. Yeah, I mean
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: he ended that stigma though. I mean, if a mobster
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: can be in therapy, then other people can get emitted
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: they're in well. I mean that was the whole That
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: was a brilliant device in the Sopranos. They have him
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: talk to a therapist because you know the problem with
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: all mob movies is mobsters by definition, keep their mouths shut.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: They don't talk about anything. You needed to have a
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: way for this tortured, tormented guy to actually tell people
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: what was on his mind, and they used doctor Melphy
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: to do that. I clearly aggress. So the guys at
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: the Northern Virginia Mental Health the shrinks always want to
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: be able to claim that they've cured you. So they'll
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: come in and they'll tell the judges all the time,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: he's cured. You can release him where you can give
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: him this kind of release. And the reason that they
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: want to do that is they don't want to I'm
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: such a terrible strength that Okay, I got this crazy
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: person in ten years later, they're still crazy. They're always
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: looking for signs of progress so they can pat themselves
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: on the back. So they give the guy a forty
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: eight hour pass. I know what you're thinking, he killed
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: somebody else. No he didn't. What he did do is
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: flee the country. Now this story is just see if
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: I was actually a reporter, now what as a talk
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: to host? I was sort of doing reporting, but it's
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: hard to do it as a podcast or I's still
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: less quession. But the story's in Virginia. I have a
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: million questions about this, And that's the problem with the media.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: They don't ask questions about anything anymore. They just try
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: to do gotchas and they try to argue with Trump.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: They don't actually try to get to the bottom of anything.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: They give the guy a forty eight hour pass. Do
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: you know where he is right now? In Tajikistan. You
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: know there are a lot of these stan countries. I'm
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: not sure I've ever heard of this one. I mean
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: there's Uzbekistan, obviously, Pakistan and Afghanistan. They're the real big ones,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: and then they're these smaller ones out there that you
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: hear some flare up all the time. The one thing
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: they have in common is they all seem to hate
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the United States. They're all Muslim, and they all seem
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: to be destitute. All these Stan countries, some of them
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: have always been independent, others were part of the USSR
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: and then broke up and became so Anyway, this guy
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: is in Tajikistan, not to be confused with Kazakistan. Tajikistan.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: The guy who is a murderer who got off it
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: in Santity. He gets a forty eight hour pass from
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: the mental health facilities and flees to Tajikistan, which I'm
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: guessing does not have an extradition with the United States.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Now I have questions, by the way, he got there
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: by boarding a Turkish airline flight to Istanbul and then
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: continued to do Shanbi, Tajikistan. So he got in a
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Turkish airline flight to Istanbul and then went over to Tajikistan.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's originally from there or not.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: My guess is that he's there because they have non extradition.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: If you're fleeing the United States, that's the key. You
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: have to go to a non extradition country. Anybody who's
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: followed the case of the murdering Aedelman's and killing Dan Markel,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: which of all these celebrity kind of true crime stories,
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I still think is the most fascinating ongoing. Everybody's can
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: be convicted except Wendy. They haven't charged it yet. The
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: woman who actually was her ex husband that was killed,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: but the brother, the brother's girlfriend, the two hit men,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: and the mother who came up with the idea, they're
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: all serving life in prison right now. Not the actual girlfriend.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: But after the son got convicted of murder, the mother
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: and the father tried to flee, went to the Miami airport,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: tried to board a plane to Vietnam. Why Vietnam is
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: explained because Vietnam is non extradition. So they rested the
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: mom at the airport and charged him with murder, and
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: she ended up being convicted. I digress. So the guy
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: rounded off to his stand bull and then continued on
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: to Jikistan. I here's my first But do you have
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: any questions? Well that's I wasn't even mine, but that's
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: a good one. How did he come up with the
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: money to pay the fleet? First of all, does the
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: guy have money on a credit card? He's han't been
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: in the nuthouse since twenty nineteen. Does he get like
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: a credit card? I mean yeah, but does he get
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: a salary? In prison? They like give you like a
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: certain amount for like making the license plates, so like
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: cooking the food and all of this stuff. But I'm
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: guessing that a flight, it's standbull, it's pretty ex Okay,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: that's your first question. You have another question they see, Well,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm guessed. First of all, his name is,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: as I said, docsj tash Plazoda. I mean, I don't
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: know if he knows people from tenn Jikostan, but he
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: probably knows somebody from one of the countries that ends
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: at a stand But again, he's probably non extradition. He
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: must have known somebody in Turkey because he got off
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: of there and somebody helped him get from there to there.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Which now there's where I'm getting it now. Dave asked
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: me the question. I get it. I do know this.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: To board a plane to go anywhere outside the United
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: States anywhere, you need a passport. By the way, there
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: are still stupid people. I know you said it. I
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: mean there are people who do not know that you
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: don't need a passport to go to Puerto Rico. Puerto
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Rico is part of the United States. If you want
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: to go to Saint Thomas and the Virgin Islands, you
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: don't need a passport because Saint Thomas is part of
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: the United States. Turkey is not part of the United States.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Are you telling me that when this guy was sentenced
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: to spend the rest of his life at a mental hospital,
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: they didn't take away his passport. When a person is
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: arrested and they and they're put on bailed, they always
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: take away their passport, Like even if somebody is free
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: on no cash bill to lough and say you have
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: to surrender your passport because they're a flight risk. This
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: guy evidently had a passport. By the way, the guy
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: that you want to know who it was that he killed,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I have his name here. It was his landlord. The
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: landlord's name is Mohammed Hemitationan. This must have been some
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: sort of ugliest viute between Muhammed and Hamshi and Abdullah
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: topsle it Ova. Now all right, that story. My knock
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: on the insanity defense is that if I actually thought
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: they would go to a mental facility for the exact
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: same period of time, that they would do prison I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: perhaps would be okay with it, but they never do.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: And even when they say they do, you hear about
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: these things like forty eight hour release and so on.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Which brings me to story number two, which is related.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: You may recall the story. It's just a couple of
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: weeks old, this terrible case in Milwaukee where a guy
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: broke into the home of a ninety nine year old
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: woman and beat the hell out of her. The ninety
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: nine year old woman her security monitoring company contacted, called
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: nine to one to one in Milwaukee and reported that
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: the woman who's being attacked. The woman herself called back
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: two and a half hours later because the police still
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: had not responded to internal investigation is going on into
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: the nine one one dispatch center and the police and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: so on as to why there was such a slow
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: response that case. The guy who did the beating allegedly
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: is Joseph Massius twenty three. Again, he broke into a
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: house and beat the hell out. I mean, the most
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: amazing thing to me about this is that the woman
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: is still alive. I mean, I'm sure this is setting
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: her back, but not only is she's still alive, she
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: had the presence of mind. Two and a half hours
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: into this beating to get on the call nine one one.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: She got to the phone and called nine one one.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: But the guy's in here the whole time. All right,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Now we've caught the guy. Obviously, the evidence of guilt
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: here is overwhelming. His lawyer says, he's going to seek
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: the insaneity defense. Now I know why he's seeking the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: insanity defense. He has no other defense. You know, Maxwell
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: and the Maxwell Anderson case shote Robinson the victim. What
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: defense do you have? My concern here is this. The
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: judge that his case has been assigned to is Christy Yang.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: She's not the worst judge in Milwaukee County, but she's
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: right up there, and she's not the sharpest judicial knife
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: in the courtroom drawer to mix four metaphors, Very lefty,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: very bleeding her. The lawyer that's pursuing this this is
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: not surprising at all. It's Michael Chernin. This is for
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: those of you who listen to my old radio show
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: about the twenty fifth time every time there's a case
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: involving Michael Chernan, I tell the same joke. So now
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: that I'm doing a pot has them to do again
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: Michael Chernan is the lawyer you hire if you can't
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: afford a good lawyer. Told it every time. Not gonna
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: stop sids. Michael Churnan, I suppose could sue me claiming
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: that he is a good lawyer. That would require me
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: to have to defend myself against the allegation that I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: think it's protected commentary and free speech and evaluation. It's
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: not a statement of fact, it's an especially of opinion. Nonetheless,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: I don't see any clients that have the ability to
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: hire a good lawyer hiring Michael Sheridan. It can really
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: tends to be people that are indigen and have somebody
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: appointed by the Public Defender's Office and so on. Anyway,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Michael Chernan probably looking at this case figuring, Okay, I'm
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: just Michael Chennan. I'm not exactly f Lee Bailey. I'm
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: not Johnny Cochran. Should I come up with somebody who's alive,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: who's a good defense attorney, who's actually not dead? All
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: the celebrity defense attorneys that were like thought to be
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: really good, they're all dead, aren't they? Yeah? I mean,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: why isn't there Like I mean, f Lee Bailey was
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: famous his entire life and Johnny Cochran his favorite famous
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: ever since. OJ I mean Bruce Cutler, who got off
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: John Gotti twice. He's dead too, he just died. I think,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: by the way, the there were two movies made about
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: John Gotty that I know of. One is terrible, the
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: other was really good, saying us Dave Michael says the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: same case in movies as me. We both watch all
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Mob movies. The one that Armando Sane was in was
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: spectacularly good, by the way, incredible guest starring role with
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Fromanthony Quinn in that movie. You agree with that, don't you?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: And the one that John Travolta played Gotti was absolutely terrible.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: That was more recent the other one. They're both out
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: there on various streaming services. I know that the good
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: one is available for free. It's on YouTube for free,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: which means I'm sure that it's on others as well.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: But I just watch it very very good. No, My
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: point is is that let's imagine you have millions and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars and can I hire a great lawyer.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't hire Michael Trinan, but who would you hire?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Who's every good defense attorney that I can think of
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: is dead. I mean when you think of a good
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: defense attorney, it's generally somebody who gets off somebody who
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: is guilty, right, I mean the only ones that get
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: off are like when the jury is like race based
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: or something or another. I mean, I mean a great lawyer,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Johnny Oja was guilty of sin and Johnny Cochrane, with
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: the assistance of Flee Bailey, got him off. Flee Bailey,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I think that he do Jeffrey McDonald, No, he didn't.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe he did. He was convicted. So they're using the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: insanity defense. I only hope that it is not successful.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine anything more deprave the problem here in
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: terms of juries in the public when they hear this, well,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: you have to be insane to do something like this,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: because people have a very hard time accepting and swallowing
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: that maybe you're just evil. Why did he do it?
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I suspect he did it because he wanted to do it.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: He got his jolly's in doing it. We had a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: case in Waukeshaw County about a year ago which was
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: butchered by the judge in the case. I said at
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: the time that there are red flags that this judge
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: might suck. He was at the time a new judge.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: He still rather new. He ran for election and was unopposed.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: It was one of those positions in which the former
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: judge retired and didn't seek re election, and this guy
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: had no opposition when he ran for the seat. As
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: I recall, he butchered a case. The case involved a
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: guy who, driving drunk after watching the Super Bowl at
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: a bar, was heading down Moorland Road in New Berlin.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: Moreland Road and the north portion of Moreland Road is
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: a Brookfield and I'm grove and the southern portion is
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: in New Berlin. In New Berlin, driving the wrong way
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: that portion of Moreland is semi divided, and struck a
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: police officer and injured the cop. He was a multiple
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: offense drunk driver. It's the sort of thing that we
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: have been seeing more and more and more of people
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: so blasted out of their minds that they're going the
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: wrong way, so drunk that it doesn't dawn on them
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: that all the headlights are coming at them, and everybody's
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: honking at him and flashing horns. And he had a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: cop car and the judge, Scott Wagner, slapped him on
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: the wrist. Now Wagner was rather new, and I said,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: all right, I can't say for certain he's gonna stink
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: as a judge his entire tenure. He's new. Maybe he
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: fell for the sob story. Maybe he's one of these
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: judges new to the judiciary who doesn't realize all the
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: criminals are saying the same thing. Oh, it's a terrible thing.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Let me give a gendother chance to turn my life around.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: I got a family, that I got a business, all
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: this crap that they give except we do not have
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: another case. And it once again involves a guy going
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: the wrong way on a major thoroughfare on walker Shot County.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: And the judge again is Scott Wagner, and he sentenced
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: this time is more pathetic. One isn't a pattern? Is
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: to a pattern? It's getting close. It's not like NFL quarterbacks.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: They can suck for a full year and still turn
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: out to be okay. Major League baseball hitter when called
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: up from the miners, they may be bad for two
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: or three months and still they can still turn out
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: to be great. Who that's a stupid example. First of all,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Joey Orties is still only hitting two forty seven. See,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: I'm actually a huge Joey Ortiz fan, and I have
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: to put up with incredible grief over his You know,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: he's hitting nearly three hundred over the last month and
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: a half, but the people who criticize him do not
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: understand the importance of defense. I get that the manager's
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: been frustrated. I mean they moved Andrew Buand to third
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: base because our shortstop and third basement none of them
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: can hit, and they're picking up guys and so forth
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: and so on. But anyway to progress, all right, here's
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: the case of the latest case in front of Judge
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: Scott Wagner. This guy's name is Darrien Taylor. He edited
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: into a plea bargain in which he agreed to plead
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: guilty to two felonies and a misdemeanor, and numerous other
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: felonies were dismissed. But read in now what is red
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: end mean? It means the judge has a right to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: consider those charges when sentencing, in addition to the ones
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: that he was convicted of vehicle operator fleeing and eluding
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: an officer. In other words, he was involved in a
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: high speed chase and then numerous counts of first degree
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: recklessly endangering safety. There's also a possession of THHC. That's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: a pot charge. Pleaded guilty to that, and then resisting
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: or obstructing an officer. Let me quote from the walk
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: Shaw Freeman report on the facts of the case. A
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: police officer at about one hundred and thirtieth Street and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Capital For those of you not in Milwaukee, this would
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: be just inside Brookfield. One hundred and twenty fourth Street
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: is the dividing line between Milwaukee County and Waukeshaw County,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: so this would be north side of Brookfield Capitol Drive,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: six blocks past the county line. It's right in an area.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of shops and stores in that area,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: and you're starting to know car dealerships, et cetera. Say,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: and police officer spot at one hundred and thirtyeth in
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Capital Drive by his location twelve forty three in the morning.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: He said the driver, Darian Taylor, was staring at the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: police squad the entire time he drove past, thinking it suspicious.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: The officer followed Taylor's ten two thousand and seven Buick
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: across westbound and Capitol Drive. Taylor then increased his speed,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: turned off his lights and tail lights. Taylor drove the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: wrong way in eastbound traffic land and was a result
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: at least six vehicles had to take evasive action. He
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: came within a few feet of four overnight construction workers
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: at about eighty miles per hour. Officers deployed stop stiff
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: sticks near Calhoun Road. That's, by the way, quite a
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: bit west. I don't know exactly. I think Calhoun is
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: one seventy six west. I think if I'm not it
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: might be one seventy two. But this started at one
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty. As see, you're talking here forty two
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: blocks of Capital Drive, which even at twelve forty in
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: the morning, Capitol Drive is a divided highway. It's I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: think the speed limit is fifty. It's not a freeway,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: but it's a higher speed highway with a lot of
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: traffic on it.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: And so on.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: On the guy, it's again it's a split off highway.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: He's going in the wrong lanes and turns off his
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: light and is driving eighty to get away from the cop.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Officers deployed stop strips. Those are those things hes throw
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: under the tire. Hope the guy drives over to flates
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: the tires, let's see. And that was that Calhoun and
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: we're successful with Taylor ditching the car near Brookfield Road.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Police used a dog and drones to locate Taylor, but
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: they were canceled due to poor weather. So the guy
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: hopped out of the car and now takes off and
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: run and apparently it was foggy that night and they
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: couldn't find him. An officer spotted a ride share driver
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: enter a subdivision where Taylor fled, the complaint said, and
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: stopped the car as it was leaving the area and
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: found Taylor inside. So apparently he ditched his car and
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: then managed to use his app to get an uber
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: or a lift one of the two of them. The
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: officers spotted that vehicle with suspicious and found the Taylor
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: was in there. Taylor had on him a small amount
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: of marijuana, the complaint said. It added the Taylor apologized
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: to the first officer. He said he was homeless, living
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: out of his car with no registration and no license.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: He was worried about having his car towed. That's why
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: he ran in the dark at eighty miles an hour.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: No again, this stuff is going on in Milwaukee all
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: the time, in the suburbs of occasionally I'm ragging on
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee all the time for slapping people on the wrist
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: for doing stuff like this, There's no excuse when it's
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: condoned in the suburbs. The judge in this case, Scott Wagner,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: sentenced Tailor, followed the entire sentence to eight years in prison,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: and then stated state means you don't serve it, and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: instead sentenced him to a brief incarceration in the Walkashaw
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: County jail. I'm going to quote from the precise sentence
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: as it put it in the Wisconsin online court system.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: You'll get to the actual period term of probation SAM
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: code condition time two hundred days of jail's time straight time,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: so that two hundred and ten days is read around
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: seven months. He's going to get seven months, not in prison,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: but in the jail. The problem here isn't that our
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: laws aren't tough enough. This is why I don't get
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: upset when lawmakers, often Republicans, proposed legislation to crack down
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: on something. In some cases, it actually is an area
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: where the law isn't sufficient. But we have a million
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: laws of the books that are really tough on driving
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: the wrong way, fleeing, and elading, et cetera. The very
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: sentence that he could have gotten eight years. What good
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: is the eight years if we're saddled with crap judges
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: like Scott Wagner who won't even give him one. As
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: I say, this is a pattern. He also went leaning
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: in on a drunk multiplewy convicted drunk who crashed into
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: a squad car injuring a police officer going the wrong way.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: My other area of criticism of people involved in public safety,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: it was a criticism of Eric Severson, the outgoing sheriff.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: It's criticism of the district attorney's offices. The criticism of
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: local officials is not None of them ever criticized the
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: soft judges of Walkershawk County. And again when I say
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: the soft judges, I didn't say they're all soft. Most
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: or not. Most of the judges in Walkersha County are
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: very good. The two worst are leaving the bench. Wagner
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: was supported by most conservative public officials, had apparently a
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: good background and supposedly been a conservative guy. He's, by
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: the way, the brother of the former talk show host
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Jeff Wagner, not the Jeff Wagner who's a former Waukee
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: County judge, but the talk show host Jeff Wagner is
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: his brother. This is now two. We're somebody who's doing
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: the kind of By the way, are these cases are
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: right shown on YouTube all the time and you see
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: these people driving so terrible. He's got his lights on.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: It's so frightening. You can kill someone and everybody is
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: frustrated with it. And then you go and you bring
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: the case to conglusion, get him convicted on multiple of
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: these counts enough that he can get eight years, only
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: to have a rotten judge let him virtually walk. Everything
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: in his situation is the same. He's still probably living
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: out of his car once he gets out of his
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: seven months in jail, and the next time that he's
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: got a duby in his pocket, he's probably gonna take
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: off and run again. Why wouldn't he. He's just learned
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: from Scott Wagner that you can damn near kill people.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Almost good construction workers work in the graveyard shift. The
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: overnight hit there said four construction workers twelve forty five
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: in the morning. We're going, that's not the greatest job
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: in the world. They have to do roadwork in the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: middle of the night. They're almost killed by this idiot
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: going the wrong way. Well on pot live it out
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: of his car running from the cops at eighty miles
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: an hour with his lights out. Does Wagner think about them?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't in the courtroom, and I don't know
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: that there's any video of the courtroom, but I guarantee
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: you the guy up there is crying and talking about
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Oh I panic, and the judge is okay, you know,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: but don't if you do this again, if you do
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: this again, it's always the if you do this again, which,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: of course they then always do it again. And perhaps
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't think when I set up the thing I
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: said on two topics related this one broadly speaking, I
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: guess is related because it deals with lack of accountability
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: for doing something wrong. You may recall that we covered
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: this story earlier in the year. Tony ebers thattued in
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: executive order giving him the authority to commute the sentences
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: of individuals in Wisconsin prisons. That's not a pardon pardons
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: they've always had. A pardon means the conviction has wiped
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: off the record. Pardons are often given to somebody who's
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: already served their time. Commutation commuting means you let somebody
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: out of prison now they're still guilty. But if the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: term is fourteen years and no, say they've served three,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: you commute them. That means they get to skate now,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: and the governor has sold discretion over it. Eight hundred
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: people have applied for commutations, according to Senator van Wan
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: Garber Saint County, the board that is going to consider
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: this well hear the first hear the first aid of
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: the eight hundred at a hearing on Friday. Six murderers
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: are among the eight hundred that have requested the commutation.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you when the commutations are going
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: to come down. They're going to come down after the
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: November election. Evers is in office until like January second,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: that period after the election between Crowley and Tiffany, that
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: late November through December, that's when he's going to commute
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: them all. And my guess is the commutations are going
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: to be right and left. This idea didn't come from Evers.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: None of the ideas come from Evers. Endors and Crowley
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: didn't come from Evers. They all came from Evers's lefty staff,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: and they would not have had him authorize himself to
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: commute sentences, which by the way, essentially kills our truth
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: and sentencing Lawn Wisconsider, which we ended early release and
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: ended parole. They would not have given him this authority
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: unless they intended to use it. And finally, this the
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is investigating
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Public School System. This is a big story.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: MPs has a race based discipline program. They have quotas
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: on discipline. In other words, MPs does not expel or expel,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: or punish or suspend or take other action against African
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: American students at a greater rate than their representation in
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: the school system. In other words, as a quota has
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: been according to these liberals, that black kids were treated
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: more harshly than white kids for doing the same thing.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: So they instead have set it up a quota by race,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: and once the number of African Americans have hit that quota,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: you can't punish any more. Beyond that, the Trump administration
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: is now in charge of the Department of Education and
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: their beginning an investigation as to whether or not this
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: is illegal racial discrimination. In other words, are they coddling
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: kids who are doing bad things in school because they're black. Now,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I know why leftists believe in this. They believe that
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: African Americans are disproportionately punished. They don't like the fact
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: that these kids are, you know, gett into trouble in school,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Let's take them at
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: their word. They are not helping African American kids by
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: exempting them from punishment. One of the reasons that public
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: schools are so crappy, especially in Milwaukee, is the lack
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: of discipline. You see a lot more discipline in the
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: private schools in Milwaukee. When you don't provide discipline, you
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: are not doing favors to the kids that aren't disciplined. Instead,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: you teach them the lesson that they can act out
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: in class, slug the teacher, do anything that they want
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: to do without consequences. That doesn't help them. It harms them,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: and it harms the others in school that have to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: sit around in these schools filled with people that are
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: acting out at the slight level and committing crimes at
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: the higher level. If they actually cared about these students,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: they would instead push for strong discipline in the schools,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: strong punishment as a way of inducing these kids to
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: realize that they have to follow the rules or there
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: will be consequences, something that in the long run is
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: better for them, not bad. But the same ideology that
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: has had them give us a soft criminal justice system
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: in the major cities and sometimes in the suburbs when
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: you're in courtrooms like Scott Wagner's crappy courtroom is now
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: into the schools where they use race. He's black for
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: punishing too many black kids as an excuse not to
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: punish black kids for whom the punishment they get in
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: school would actually be good for them rather than bad.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: MPs is the same school system were several years ago,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: they had a guy convicted of a felony was involved
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: in several street attacks, including one of a woman on
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: a city street in Milwaukee. He was convicted of a felony,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: but not only was he not expelled from MPs, he
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: was allowed to play for Milwaukee Washington in the state
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: high school basketball championships. The coach of the team who
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: didn't kick the guy out of the school went on
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: to get two other suburban coaching jobs after that. In fact,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: just decided to not take a job that he was
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: up for. The player who had, by the way Division
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: one scholarship offers, is now dead. Several years later, he's
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: involved in trouble and eventually got killed. Maybe if he
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: would have faced consequences rather than coddling from his crappy
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: basketball coach and the crappy MPs after being convicted of felonies,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: he would have straightened out his life. Or maybe not.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe either way that this was just a bad guy
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: who is gonna go on and commit crimes that eventually
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: end up in either prison or the great Maybe, but
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: I can tell you this making MPs looking even worse.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, this case was the one that resulted
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: in the WIAA changing rules to bar felons and participating
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: in state tournaments. You can't stop them from participating in
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: regular conference games because the wa doesn't govern that, but
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: can have a felon in the state tournament or because
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: of this kid at Milwaukee Washington and his sorry, bleeding
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: hard excuse for a coach. The people who advocate leniency
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: believe that they are helping out the crooks in front
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: of them. I contend that not only are they making
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: the rest of society less safe, they're not helping these
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: crooks out at all, particularly young ones who, when shielded
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: from negative accountability for their actions, never learn not to
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: do bad things. Remember all your mother's telling you actions
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: have consequences. A lot of actions don't have consequences anymore,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: particularly when the race houslers get involved. Hopefully the Trump
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: administration's investigation of MPs will end this. My guess is
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: that all it will get is MPs dropping the policy
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: but responding by simply not being tough with regard to
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: discipline on anybody. This is the Markedelling Podcast three two one.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: This is the Markedelling Podcast. We end with a reminder
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: in two weeks. Two weeks we will begin the Mark

  Speaker 2: the week. It is not starting until let me get
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: my dates correct here. It is September third, Thursday, September
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: thirds I believe that's a Thursday. That's the beginning of
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend, which is the start of the full
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: slate of college football. There are a handful of games
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: the prior week but Wisconsin opens against Notre Dame. I
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: believe on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. That weekend
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: with college football is when we're going to begin the
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: segment and it will be at the end of the podcast.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: The teel end of the podcast starting on Thursdays and
