Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, thanks for listening, and welcome back to the Brian
Mud Show. Time now for today's top three takeaways on
this Monday, as we are remarkably heading down the home
stretch of July, time flying with you, Joelts have vacation
back in the mix with us next week.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And my takeaways for you as we dive in Florida's
property taxes, the Rosetta Stone and woke women. And my
top takeaway for you today is a guarantee. It's a guarantee.
You have Babe Ruth's called shot. That's pretty solid, right,
your JFK's moonshot, and Reagan's demand to tear down the
(00:45):
brilin wall. You can compare it to trast You know
you have a favorite in that mix Bae Bruce called shot,
JFK's moonshot, Reagan's demanded tear down the brilin wall. Anyway,
whatever your preference is, they're all remarkable calls, right, all
very impressive, All led to remarkable moments an American and
world history Now Blaze and Golia, No, Babe Ruth and
(01:06):
ending property taxes in Florida. Not exactly what you would
call it moonshot, right, but on a relative level, the
impact throughout the state of Florida. I mean, really, the
ripple effect it could have too around the country might
be the equivalent in our state of tearing down the
Berlin Wall, you know, on Friday in my first interview
and his by the way, since taking the job of
(01:28):
Florida CFO and Chief Fire Marshall, he actually has been
sworn in today, but since he was nominated to that
post by DeSantis, and what I would call a CANTONUS interview.
If you didn't hear Friday's interview with Blaze, you should
listen to it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I don't have that linked for you. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The podcast is up, you can check it out the
Braymont Show podcast. But he called a shot. Blaze went
for it. He called a shot. He guaranteed, guaranteed you
and may are going to be able to vote on
eliminating property to axis for home staded properties in the
state of Florida next year.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I agree, would that be and most certainly hope it
proves true.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
To give you an idea, mean property tax bills in
Palm Beach County, for example, now approximately four thousand dollars
per year. So obviously the savings would be huge but
also the principle behind all this is huge. As I've
always said, the most un American tax that exists is
(02:30):
a tax on property. There is nothing more absurd than
a tax on property. Do you ever really own your
home if a government can just take it away for
you from you for not paying additional taxes on it
every year? I mean, there's nothing else. So we would
never go along with the idea that we would have
to pay taxes on all the stuff inside that house
(02:51):
every year, or the government would come into our house
and take it away from us.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But if you think about it as absurd as that is,
the other way, the way we only do things is
even more absurd, because well, you can keep your stuff,
but you can't keep your house.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But if Blaze's promise is correct by twenty twenty six,
you may truly own your home and save huge money too, obviously,
something we will be covering for a long time to come.
My second takeaway for you today the Rosetta Stobe. This
is Attorney Alan Dershowitz on Fox News Sunday yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
What's much much more important is discovery information, depositions and
other things that came out of the Glain Maxwell case
that came out of other cases that were pending in
front of federal judges, and for example, the case involving
Prince Andrew.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, so that is what Dershwitz is saying is most
interesting relative to Epstein' stuff, not actually the grand jury
testimony that Attorney General Pambondi has directed to be released. Okay,
let's press a reset button here for a minute. At
this stage of the Epstein conspiracy drama following pam Bondi's
(04:06):
push to release the grand jury testimony on Friday, the
most interesting figure to me is not who you might
think it would be. It's a figure who has transcended
both political ideologies throughout his career and happens to pretty
much know everything Jeffrey Epstein. And no it's not Gilainne Maxwell.
(04:28):
You know, I talked about Gilainne last week and I
mentioned this at the time. I said, the best evidence
that there has ever been that Jeffrey Epstein potentially was
not murdered as part of some kind of like criminal
cover up conspiracy is that his literal partnering crime, Gilaine Maxwell,
is still with the living right. I mean, like, if
you had to go to the lengths that would have
(04:50):
had to have been gone to to do the murder
of Epstein in the New York prison and you know,
to cover this whole thing, just if you had to
get rid of Epstein. What would the point of all
that be if if Maxwell is still with a living
because there in fact is no doubt that she actually
(05:12):
knew more about the victims than Jeffrey did day to.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Day, it is a given.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's the Remember, Gallaine is the one who procured these victims,
procured these girls that ran that whole thing, would have
known who they were involved with, and when jeff probably
didn't even know all of the purpose that were involved
with all these girls to the extent that she did.
And so that is so important for anybody who was
(05:40):
on a conspiracy track to consider. But the next point,
as far as the potential for Maxwell testimony goes, would
it even matter, as in, would either side those who
believed the DJ and those who think it's a conspiracy,
but any of them trusts would Maxwell have to say? Right?
I do think there would just be confirmation bias where
(06:00):
if she said what you wanted to hear, then okay, great,
and if not, then she's not credible because after all,
she was involved in all of this and she's serving
a twenty year prison sentence because of it. Now, the
person that I view as actually the most interesting in
this conversation is one you just heard from there. It's
dirsh It's dersh You know, many have forgotten that Professor
(06:20):
Alan Dershwitz was Jeffrey Epstein's attorney. Dersh dish this last week.
He said Epstein never created a client list, and as
for names involved in slacious activities, he said they don't
(06:40):
include any current office holders. In fact, Dershwitz said people
would be largely underwhelmed if they knew everything, like there
might be less to the story than what you believe
to be there. That to me is particularly compelling because
it suggested DJ probably is telling the truth and that
there's unlikely to be a grand conspiracy from here. By
the way, Dershowitz flat out said any of the theories
(07:03):
about Epstein working for intelligence agencies nonsense, said Spunk. He said,
if it were true, it would have been huge for him.
He would have used it to get Epstein off the hook.
He looked for the and he mentioned he looked for
that angle very quickly because that theory is that had
long existed, said absolutely no truth to it. What was whoever,
because that would have been the first place he would
have gone to help his case defending Epstein.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
However, on Fox News Sunday, so you heard a.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Clip of there, he did have Dersh say that he
thinks that Maxwell should be granted immunity to testify to
Congress in the Epstein case. He called her the Rosetta stone,
the Rosetta stone. So there is that, which again, that
is what I had referenced kind of without that characterization
last week, pretending to her again, I think what Dersh
(07:55):
has to say is is probably the most instructive of all.
But third tagaway for you today is an air ball.
An airball. So leading up to Saturday's WNBA All Star Game,
here's Fox's Joe Morton.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
The top players in the WNBA will face off in
the All Star Game, with the league's biggest draw on
the sidelines. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will not participate
in the game, which is taking place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
in Indianapolis, due to a right groin injury.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
But she did effectively show up on the court to protests,
So there was that. Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't want
to tune into a WNBA All Star game to see
kind of a protest labor dispute? Right, So I don't
care about the NBA, let alone the WNBA, and no
(08:45):
attempted social promotion of this stuff will change that. I've
never been influenced by any of that stuff regardless, but
especially with this in fact, you know, like when this
stuff is thrown in my face, like no, you really
are going to care about the WNBA, You're really I'm like, no,
I there's nothing that has led to me caring about
this before, and actually you throwing it in my face
only makes me less likely to even want to give
(09:07):
it two seconds of my life other than what I
am presenting to you here, because the absurdity that I
ended up seeing in the news pertaining to this is
about as hilarious as it gets. The ever woke Caitlin
Clark Angel rees, all that stuff is certainly not going
to lead to me wanting to watch the WNBA. Full disclosure,
(09:31):
I've not watched an NBA game since nineteen ninety four.
I've not watched a WNBA game.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Ever. These things will not change. They're never going to change.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
There's ever going to come in time, Like man, I
mean I need some MBA action in my life now
it won't happen WNBA, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So if either league does it for you, great, that's cool.
You know. However, if the idea is.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
To actually try to grow this sport, which is what
in theory they are trying to do, right all this promotion, no,
you really will care about women's sports that you don't
care about and have it if they really are trying
to grow the sport. I can't imagine anything worse than
could have been done by the players on Saturday what
they did well. Going through the news over the weekend,
(10:18):
I did see that the ever woke women of the
WNBA took the opportunity of the All Star Game to
engage in a labor protest. All the participants again, including
Caitlin Clark, who was out because of her groin injury,
but she still took the court during warm ups with
a shirt on saying pay us what you owe us.
They all took the court with a black shirt white
(10:42):
letters pays what you owe us. Now, no one ever
accused professional athletes of collectively being the sharpest tools in society.
But in the grand scheme of athletic stupidity, this move
rings up there pretty high. First, there's the dynamic that
turns people like me off from sports and leagues, and
that's politics. Is supposed to be entertainment, supposed to be fun.
It's not supposed to be politicking. The narrative that women
(11:06):
are underpaid in society is and has historically been demonstrably false.
Let me kill two birds one stone yet again. I've
done this so many times on the show. But this
presents that opportunity, as I have demonstrated time and again,
and actually, as you will find on salary dot com
and there are most recent analysis of this. When accounting
for job choice, experience, education, and other compensatable factors, the
(11:28):
adjusted pay gap is ninety eight cents on the dollar,
or in other words, the legitimate gender pay gap between
men and women is under two percent.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
All this stuff you hear, it's like eighty cents of
the dart. They're lying.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They are not accounting for all the equitable factors there
and the less than two percent disparity between the two.
I have illustrated the difference in that is that men
are more willing to negotiate for a higher salaries than women.
So it's all explained away. There is no gender pay gap.
But anyway, as the All Stars of the WNBA attempted
(12:04):
to play the gender card at the All Star Game,
here's the deal, and it's a pretty big one. They
had better hope they don't get what they ask for.
If the WNBA players get what they ask for, they're
going to be really unhappy because if they got what
they are.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Worth, it would be nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's kind of tough, is it. You know, it actually
would be nothing. Actually it'd be worse than nothing. You see,
in the twenty eight year history of the WNBA, the
league has never turned a profit, not once.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
There's not another enterprise.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The only entities, in fact that exists that have lost
money for twenty eight consecutive years and still are in
existence are governments governments. There is not another private enterprise
that exists that has a longer track record of consecutive losses.
In other words, the WNBA is probably the worst business
of modern American history. What's more is that as the
(13:00):
social promotion effort to grow the lake has taken hold,
with greater distribution everything else because it has grown, right,
I mean, they have parlayed the whole Hey, you're going
to care about Kaitlin Clark thing and the enjoys and
actually I think a lot of it just has to
do with gambling and people going, oh, here's something else
in the sports better, here's something else on, gamble on.
But anyway, exactly, the losses have only grown, so the
(13:22):
audience is up. Over the past few years for the WNBA,
they do average just over a million viewers. Now it's
not much, it's not good at all, but it's a
lot better than it was. But anyway, the average annual
loss of the WNBA was ten million dollars per year.
Last year, with the onset of Kaitlin Clark and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It jumped.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The losses jumped to fifty million dollars. To the woman
of the WNBA, beware because if you got what you
asked for, you'd be wearing different shirts and looking for
different jobs in a real business that makes actual money.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
The week ahead Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called
free special legislative session addresses issues that arose from the
deadly flooding earlier this month. In the Hill country, including
improving flood early warning systems and providing more relief funding
for victims. Wednesday, Brian Coberger is back in court where
he will be formally sentenced for the murder of four
(14:14):
University of Idaho's students in twenty twenty two. Coburger agreed
to plead guilty to avoid a potential death sentence. Thursday,
San Diego Comic Con kicks off, and while fans will
look to the panels, boots and more for sneak peaks
and spoilers, this year's edition marks the first time Star
Wars director George Lucas takes part. Friday, President Trump heads
(14:35):
across the Pond, visiting Scotland, where a meeting with the
British Prime Minister is on the books. Also, former New
York Congressman George Santos is expected to report to prison
where he will serve eighty seven months for wire fraud
and aggravated identity theft. And that's look at your week ahead.
