Speaker 2 (00:21):
We have a quote of the day today and I'm
going to open with it. Sometimes I share the quote
of the day and then I tell you who it
is that said it. I'm going to tell you here
who it is. It's Joe Biden, and it's from nineteen
eighty nine. You know it's a long time ago. And
(00:43):
you really know how long ago it is. When you
take a look at what's happened to the Democrats in
this country. There are so many issues in which the
things that they once stood for are the things that
they are now adamantly opposed to. I'm going to read
this quote. This is Biden nineteen eighty nine. He was
(01:06):
a senator. Let's go back at Let's go after the
drug lords where they live with an international strikeforce. There
must be no safe haven for narco terrorists. Obviously, that
was a rather non controversial statement at the time. If anything,
(01:29):
it might be considered extreme from the right. Biden was
suggesting that we go out and kill the major drug
lords wherever they are. Wasn't any objection that I'm aware of.
I don't recall them saying it wasn't any objection I'm
aware of from Democratic leaders or the left. No. Admittedly,
(01:52):
that's a long time ago, and that party has changed
radically where we are now. The current President Trump is
going after narco terrorists and the term is now being used,
but only on the right. International drug dealers are being
considered terrorists, and the left is objecting to that. This
(02:15):
whole drama over the second strike on the drug boat
and whether or not Defense Secretary Pete Hesitt should have
authorized it or not. First of all, the video seems
to indicate that the drug boat was going to go
back and reload. But whether it was or it wasn't,
it's undeniable that this was drugs that were being smuggled
(02:37):
into the United States. And the reason that they're using
boats now is that Trump is sealed off the border. Now,
there's a reason I'm bringing this story up to begin
the program. This is just a bad weekend all over,
and there isn't any single component in it, but it
(02:59):
sure seems to me that a portion of it is
tied to drugs. We have a very different drug problem
than what I've seen at any other point in my life.
It's just different. You see so many acts of violence
that seem to have a drug component to them. There
(03:25):
was a comment that was made a few days ago
interesting They was at a symposium put on by The
New York Times. The CEO of Pallanteer, the big AI
company that focuses on the defense industry. He made the
comment that if the people that were oding on fetanyl
(03:46):
were primarily the people in that room, in other words,
the big shots, the titans of Wall Street, the elite,
if they were the ones who were dying over feentanyl,
there would be no controversy over going out and killed them.
But the reality is that the fedanol in particular is targeting
the middle class. Seriously, who doesn't know a family of
(04:10):
somebody whose kids odeed on fetanyl? Everybody does. As I said,
it's the drug of the middle class, not even so
much poor people. It's the lower middle class, middle class
and upper middle class. It isn't so much the drug
of the uber wealthy. They're under their own stuff. The
(04:32):
fediol problem though, and to some extent, myth and the
other stuff that's out there is linked. I think you
can throw in pot. I think it's the ultimate gateway drug.
But whether you agree with that or not is really
neither here nor there for this point. Obviously, feed at
all is an enormous problem. It's addictive the first time
(04:55):
you take it, it's unbelievably powerful, it's almost impossible to
get off of, and the users of it often end
up dead. But as I say, it is not an
equal opportunity abused drug. There are parts of the country
(05:20):
on which the feninol problem resonates more than others. Back
when Biden made that comment thirty six years ago, the
Democrats as much as many much as the Republicans, were
in favor of going after the international drug cartels, terrorists,
(05:41):
the people that were shipping all of this in. This
is the situation we have with fenanol right now. Fenanyl
is so dirt cheap that they use it to lace
other drugs. Throughout my entire history of following drugs, one
of the things that would go on as drug dealers
would water down they're drug You know, the talcum powder
(06:05):
that would be thrown into stuff and mascarade as coke.
You would water down the drugs, so there wouldn't be
as strong, so you can get more bang for your butt.
Now the Federal is cheaper than all the other drugs,
so they put the federyl and the other drugs. It's
so bizarre. Why is it so cheap because so much
comes in. Fortunately, Trump is sealed off the border that
has cut off that supply, so now it's going out.
(06:25):
I see. We live in a world in which leftists
overlook so much of the crime that goes on in
our country, but they are outraged that the president of
the United States is trying to stop people from bringing
(06:48):
highly addictive narcotics into the United States. It's an extraordinary
situation and kind of the launching point for today's program.

dot com all right, I want to turn my attention
(07:30):
to another story for the past and we're doing this
podcast on Monday afternoon. For the past twenty four to
thirty six hours, the media nationally and especially locally, had
(07:53):
been focusing on the soul called person of interest in
the Own University killings. He was named twenty four year
old man. He's from Cedarberg. There was law enforcement out
(08:15):
of his house, and I don't know all of the
news organizations that named him. He was not only not charged,
he wasn't arrested. JS online is one of them they
named him. It appears as though he didn't do it.
He's been released, not being held for further question. It
(08:39):
were just released and the authority said, we have no
reason to further hold him. Yet he was out there named.
I understand when there's a police investigation, they look into
any number of things. There may be any number of suspects.
If you have a possible suspect, you're going to look
in at eggs. So the cops are out at his
(08:59):
house and Cederberg, Wisconsin police are crawling around all over
the piece and people have you know, and there's a
level of interest to it. The curious thing about This
is prior to me coming to Milwaukee and the World
War One era got here in nineteen eighty nine. Milwaukee
was the first market that I had ever worked in
(09:21):
in which there was just a general understanding in the
media that you did not name a suspect until they
were charged. Everywhere else where I work, the standard operating
procedure from all media was if someone was arrested, you
would report it. You didn't have to wait until they
were charged. But in Milwaukee, the standard it was I
think the newspaper set it, and all the TV stations
(09:41):
they all followed it. You don't report someone's name until
they're charged. And that's still pretty much the standard until
you get to a story in which they just decide
that's not a rule. And in this case, he wasn't
even arrested. I know his name was everywhere, and I
get that in any things are gonna be all over
social media, but the so called responsible media in the
(10:05):
past had not done this. When you got any type
just take a murder case, just a local murder in
your community, unless it's an obvious case where you know,
a husband shoots a wife or something, any number of
people are questioned. They'll go into people's backwards and there
may be somebody who appears to be shady or suspicious
(10:27):
for any number of reasons. And it isn't that I
don't want you to direct your life to how they'd
play things out on TV. But you know the show
Law and Order, they did interview five or six or
seven people. They found out that the case is over here.
That's kind of what reality is. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes
they're going on on the right suspect in the beginning,
and in many cases you have to talk to a
lot of people. During other cases you talk to someone
(10:49):
because maybe they knew something else or maybe I mean
number of possible reasons, and I suspect in this case
Rhode Island. The authorities had some sense that the individual
might have been involved because they said person of interest.
But person of interest is just that there are levels
of this. Somebody's arrested, then there's a suspect. A suspect
(11:13):
is somebody suspected but not yet arrested, and then there's
a person of interest, somebody who may or may not
be of interest. Five six, Still, and again I'm doing
this podcast rheight around noon on Monday. They still have
a story up about the police crawling all over the
person's home in Cedarberg. Well, that story was relevant a
(11:34):
day and a half ago. But put yourself in the
other guy's shoes, or put yourself in this family shoes.
Let's imagine, and again maybe it will turn out there
is some connection involving this guy. But normally speaking, if
you have a killing and they let the person and
we've seen this in any number of other cases, you've
got a murder case or some sort of sexual assault
(11:56):
or something, somebody will be taken into custody and question
about something going to turn They had an alibi, they
didn't do it. That happens all the time in this
day and age of hyper focused on certain news stories.
(12:16):
All the rules that they put in place for anything else.
I mean, just follow a local story in which some
drunk driver causes a fatal accident. They'll arrest them on
the scene. It usually takes like thirty six to forty
eight hours before they're arrested. They're never named for that
when it's obvious they're the ones. This is the drunk
theory is driving the car. There's the fatal life. They
don't name the person. Now I'll be one hundred percent
(12:45):
honest with you about this. My last podcast was on Thursday.
Today is Monday. This Brown University thing happened in between.
Let's imagine it happened the day before. Say it was
Wednesday of last week, and I came on Thursday and
everybody was calling, and the person was named what I
have named. I I would like to think I wouldn't.
And again, I've always argued that you have to deal
(13:05):
with these things on a case by case basis. If
you arrest someone on the scene with a gun or,
as I said, a drunk driving case. So let's imagine
you have a public figure, a politician whose hands are
in the cookie jar. Do you have to wait until
the person is arrested in charge in order to name them?
(13:27):
Probably not, But in a certain situation like this, in
which there was no video identification, that suspect was dressed
in all black and so on, obviously there's reason for caution.
In the meantime, the way meeting, you know, the online
(13:47):
world works. They'll never expunge all the references to this
person and his family. I mean the local news. I
want to jass Online they're quoting classmates of the guy
(14:08):
describe well he's this, he's that. The other thing, the
kind of thing that you do when somebody has been
charged with like a mass murder or something. He wasn't
even arrested. Now I know a fair amount about the
way things like this go. When the police have somebody Okay,
this person did it, and they find them, they will
then arrest them. Being brought in for questioning is a
(14:32):
lower level. It's just they have questions. And again it
can be because while there's strong evidence, or it can
be because somebody gave us an anonymous tip anything the
other thing. Of course, in stories like this, when you
have the global media all over it, people will leak
(14:53):
within the you know you've got you had a university,
they're law enforced with the local law. Any number of
people could have been the ones who would have really
the name, or somebody saw the person be taking in
the custody. They talked about he was at a motel
or something or another. Well, yeah he's he's but that's right,
that's where he is. He went to school out there,
(15:15):
and again, as far as I know, he has not
done anything here. Normally, as I say, if I release somebody,
that means there's no connection at all, and again in
all the kinds of cases that are much lower profile,
that happens all the time. You have a murder, say
in Milwaukee, you're just the regular one of the murders
(15:36):
that a cursee in the inner city of Milwaukee. They'll
bring any number of people in, and in some cases
they may think that, okay, it fits the pattern of
this guy over here. They'll detain them and then they
check it out. Maybe they'll is there an alibi or
is something else? So they then arrest the other persons.
Let go now to a case in which there has
(16:04):
been an actual arrest, the Rob Reiner case. There have
been so many stories the last few years like this.
This is merely the rare one in which the person
the victim is extremely famous. I just think about it
in the local media, the number of cases of somebody
(16:28):
killing their parents or killing their grandparents. I'm sure this
has always happened, but boyle Boyle boy does it seem
to be extremely common. Rob Reiner, the famous director, actor
and so on, and his wife stabbed to death. His son,
who's not young, he's thirty four, has been arrested. His
(16:49):
name is Nick Reiner. Given the fact that this is
a public family. We know quite a bit about the background,
and in fact, ten years ago he had an interview.
Nick Reiner did and I think wrote a book or
a screenplay about his life, and he talked about how
he got all screwed up on drugs when he was
young and ended up living on the street and was
(17:11):
a miss. He's thirty two is his current age. But
eight or nine years ago he did the thing about
he's all messed up on drugs, he was out on
the street and so forth and so on. We don't
have a full accounting of what happened since. Did he
get wigged out on drugs as a lot of these
people do and get irrational, or was he having an
(17:35):
argument because they wouldn't give up. Who knows. But again,
this seems to happen all the time now, and again
I'm not when I say all the time. This type
of story is common. What is uncommon is that it's
someone of Rob Reiner and his wife, famous people who
are the victims. Here's another thing that seems to be
(17:56):
more common than ever the number of people who are schizophrenic,
seriously manic depressive, manic depressive, or have other serious mental problems.
In which they need to be on medication, but the
(18:17):
medication makes them really tired, so they are off their
meds and they live totally dysfunctional lives. And again, I
don't know if that's the case with regard to Nick Briner,
but boy, I go go back thirty or forty years ago,
there were a few people that you thought of like that,
(18:38):
and I'm sure a lot of people were not diagnosed
properly who we just thought were crazy or odd. What's
causing all of this? I think the big change that's
a curt Well, there's two things that have changed in
our society. Are FK juniors on the die thing, and
(19:02):
I think that that's a component to all sorts of things.
But the level of drug abuse that's going on in
our society and how potent some of these drugs are,
I'm just stuff the opinion. And again I'm just a lamban.
I think that this stuff can do serious damage to
your brain and you just get completely unwired. And whether
you're on the drugs or off, how badly screwed up
(19:24):
are you? Now? In this case, it may be much
simpler than that. Maybe he was asking for money and
the parents got fed up and he decided to lash
out and kill I don't know what an interesting career
Rob Reiner head boy. If you ask people what do
you most remember him for, you get a lot of
(19:44):
different answers. If I, off the top of your head
would be the first thing you would answer, meat head
and mall of the family, And I would say for
people that may be a little bit younger than that,
it's probably one of the many famous movies he directed.
I think a lot of people would say when Harry
met Sally, which he didn't start him, but he was
the director. He did a few Theo Good Men, he
did Princess Bride. I mean, the list goes on and
(20:06):
on and on, but he started. He started. He started
out as an actor and son of an extremely fam
in fact, just literally a long life himself, Carl Reiner,
who created the Dick van Dyke showing a lot of
other stuff, and Rob Reiner's his son. The other thing,
Rob Brander is a big time Hollywood lefty, but he
(20:28):
was one of those lefties that wasn't like he was
not an unhinged lefty. In fact, Rob Branner famously said,
and got some blowback from the left, that he felt
terrible about the Charlie Kirk assassination and was so moved
by Erica Kirk's statement. Rob Brainer was also the guy who,
after the Biden Trump debate, was famously quoted in the
(20:54):
media as being apoplectic as to how terribly Joe Biden
did and we have to do something about this, and
how the world he can't run for president. He's going
to get killed. Look, the guy's off his rocker, Rob Rider.
That roaldo of And again Paul said right away the
first thing he thinks of, it's all in the family.
It's funny because Rob Rainer, you know, he acted in
a few things. He was in Spinal Tap and all that,
(21:16):
but by far his career was to go on and
be a major film director and and writer. The details
are pretty clear in this case, and apparently the authorities
in Los Angeles they knew immediately that it was his son,
(21:36):
Nick Reiner. He was arrested like right after the thing.
They say they're holding him on four million dollars bond.
They are found in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday,
and more information on that. It's trickling out. As I say,
it's just bad weekend on so many fronts. There was
the slaughter in Australia Jewish individuals. There was a shooting
(22:02):
in Los Angeles of a rabbi. Hanukah began last night.
Some of the violence can be tied to bigotry. We
don't know the motivation necessarily. In Brown University, it might
(22:22):
just be another screwed up person and it's a school shooting.
We don't know the answer to that. All these reporters
were scurrying around Seedarburgh interviewing friends and families. Are the
guy who didn't do it? Are they still asking the
questions or have they moved on now knowing that they're
asking questions of people about somebody who didn't have anything
to do with squat, Let me move to a different
(22:48):
level of crime. The Hannah Dugan trial began again. We're
doing the podcast on Monday this morning in Milwaukee County
Circuit Court. I think the whether or not she's going
to be convicted or not depends entirely. I wouldn't say entirely,
mostly on who's on the jury, right. I mean, it
(23:08):
seems to me she's caught dead to rights. She's the
Milwaukee County Circuit judge who helped a guy who was
the subject of an ice worn get away. She hit him,
Ice came in with a warrant. She sends the ice
(23:29):
guys to the chief Judge's office. In the meantime, she
hides him in a library. There will be and again
the testimony's just beginning because they're doing the podcast. A
fellow judge is gonna describe some of the things that
Dugan did that should be testifying for the prosecution. That
clearly was an attempt to obstruct ice and obstruct is
(23:50):
just that obstruct beings interfered getting the way of screw
with an investigation. It's clear to me that she did it.
On the other hand, we have a huge segment in
this country that doesn't believe that people should be arrested
by ice, even people that are people who've committed crimes.
You see the media's references to all of this, none
(24:12):
of they make any reference at all to the crimes
that he committed here in the United States, aside from
the fact that he was here illegally. Now the trial
is in federal court in Milwaukee. That means the jury
pool comes from the region, not just Milwaukee County. If
it was a Milwaukee County only jury, in other words,
(24:33):
one that's probably almost all Democrats. Who knows how it
would turn out. We do know this, Hanna Dugan has hired.
She's got like thirty five I mean clearly they raise
money for her legal defense team because half the lawyers
in Southeast was considered defending her. The judge in the case,
Len Aedeman, is a big time lefty. There had been
(24:54):
indications prior to the trial that this would go to
a plea bargain, and it didn't. My guess is her
her lawyers were looking for a plea bargain in which
she pleaded guilty to virtually zip, and the federal prosecutors
didn't want to do that deal. There's also the chance
that they can still You can do a plea bargain
at any point up to the point that the jury
comes back of the verdict. There could still be one
(25:17):
depending on how the trial goes. If Dougan's lawyers think
that it looks bad for her, they may offer to
plead to something from her perspective. Again, the judge is
Lennada when he's a big time lefty. They may be
counting on that even if she's convicted, he won't sentence
her to anything, but it is a felony that she's
charged with, which I mean no longer being able to
(25:37):
be a judge, being dispired in the whole thing if
she's convicted. I have said that this case just screamed
out for a plea bargain in which Dugan would admit, resign,
and then knock at any jail time, because, as I say,
the evidence of her illegality is just obvious. I don't
(26:01):
even want to use Cedarburgh given what happened over the weekend.
If me, let's imagine the police there's somebody that's look,
they're looking for somebody that they think might have committed
a murderer, and they come over to my place and
it turns out that I'm hiding him and say that
he's not there. That's obstruction. It's what obstruction is not
to mention the fact that she's a judge and she's
being presented with a warrant, and then you just go,
(26:25):
it's this, it's all Trump derangement syndrome. First of all,
what did she think? First of all, the guy's facing charges.
At some point, he's gonna be in court unless he
flees back to Mexico. What did she think that ICE
was gonna after they centered on the ICE was going
to give up and drop the warrant? What was their
endgame on this? And I suspect it was just I'm
not going to cooperate with ICE. Who left is just
(26:47):
obsessed that ICE is the worst agency in the world. Furthermore,
one of the arguments that you've been getting from lefties
is well, I should only be focusing on the criminals
that have the illegal immigrants who've committed separate crimes. That's
what this guy was. The reason he was in Dugan's
(27:09):
court is because he's facing criminal charges for a violent
crime here. So what's the rationale the people that are
all protesting and defending Hinna Dugan. This is an illegal
immigrant who is accused you of committing other crimes while
here separate from his illegal status. How does he become
(27:29):
a poster child for anything. This isn't some hardworking restaurant
worker or hotel made It's an accused criminal. Now to
this story, I find his stupid criminal stories to be
amusing to me. Do you find these stories to be amusing? No,
(27:54):
it's a tragic story. But how the individual was arrested
extraordinary stuff. This is a I follow this story somewhat
because I was trying to find out whether or not
there was a connection to how the city of Milwaukee
has screwed up the street involved. There is no more
screwed up street in the United States of America than
(28:17):
Van Buren Street in Milwaukee. It's all been done by
the mayor, Cavalier Johnson. As I say, if you want
to just have a if you would like to explain
to your child how stupid liberals are, just make a
field trip to Milwaukee and drive up Van Buren Street
and show them this street. It used to be a
one way street that headed north, and it was paired
with Jackson Street, which is a one way street that
(28:38):
headed south. There's a lot of stuff on there, the
seven seventy seven apartment complexes there. It's also the street
that's the only real exit from I seven ninety four.
It's the where the freeway filt is into downtown Milwaukee.
You can go south on Jackson into the third ward
and north on Ben Buren to head toward the east
side of Milwaukee and the rest of downtow On and
(29:00):
so on. Anyway, they took out used to be two
lanes in each direction. They took out one of the
lanes that put in these concrete medians to create a
lane for buses and the scooters, so the concrete median
is actually in the street. So now you have just
(29:22):
one lane in each direction and cars that have to
turn one way, plus an extremely busy street the Amazon
and ups trucks that have to do the deliveries. There
are people who when they make right turns that end
up driving into the into the bicycle lane because they
don't realize they have to go all the way to
the middle of the street because there's this hunk of
(29:42):
concrete out there. Then they put up these little sticks
in the middle of the street to separate the two lanes,
and now they've made it two ways. It's just it's
a mess beyond belief. And anybody with any sanity does
everything in their power, and I'll go out of their
way just to avoid going on Van Buren. I mean,
I sware you can get off that thing on the
freeway end. If you were trying to get say, up
(30:02):
to Brady Street, it's possible. You would never in your
lifetime make it. That's how badly they screwed up the street. Anyway,
this incident occurred there there was I don't in the
story I read, it didn't indicate the ride sharing service.
I'm sure it was either Uber or a lyft, but
there was in I'm looking here and see if I
can see it. Well, let's just call it a rideshair driver.
(30:26):
The driver was evidently doing either a drop off or
pick up at the corner of Van Buren and Juno.
This is a really busy well, all this corners on
Van Buren are really really busy. There's apartment building on
one side, there's a subway over there. It's across the
(30:46):
street from the Metro Market, which is a big grocery store.
There's a new apartment complex called Nova that's up on
that street. It's just really really busy. And as I say,
the street is screwed up and there's not a lot
of room for drop offs. Anyway, somebody was either being
picked up or dropped off on a ride sharing service.
(31:10):
And while that happened, a Nissan SUV came plowing down
the street and hit the vehicle, seriously injuring the driver.
The driver for either Uber or Lyft. So if you
can visualize this. You know, the driver's on the left
(31:31):
side of the vehicle. Somebody's plowing through, so the car
was hit on the driver's side, which would make sense
as the person's working their way through what's left of
the driving lane. So again, I've been following this story
to see whether or not I can blame it on
the street construction, because they've done all of this supposedly
to make things safer. But I haven't seen video of it.
There's video everywhere downtown Milwaukee, but I haven't seen video
(31:51):
of it. In any event, that's not the part of
the story that we're focusing on. The driver of the
Nissan left the scene. They've caught her. Do you read
how they caught her? Well, no, again, put yourself in
(32:15):
the other guy's shoes. And I'm sure everybody who's just
caused an accident when they're on the run, there is
a temptation to run. Most people don't. Bad people do.
The people who run also tend to be people who
may be drunk obviously, people in stolen vehicles and so on.
In some cases, maybe you're none of that and you're
just panic. But if it's legitimately an accident, you'd stay
(32:36):
on the scene. In any event, the vehicle ran and
the authorities had something of a description of it. And
again there's cameras all over the place down there, and
there was some video the captured. If nothing to identify
a license plate or anything like this, all they knew
for sure is that it was a Nissan Suv. Now
you should call up your son in law who's a cop,
(32:58):
because he would kill you. Ho cop investigate cases like this.
You you don't know anything about anything. Do you imagine
if well, as I said, the camera only came up
with nies On Suv, not anything beyond that, and they
can track you through others all But as I say,
all they had was nie on Suv because that isn't
they were just they just know it was a nie
(33:19):
On Suv. Beyond niss On suv and you didn't have
a license plate, what would you do? And I'll admit
the things that they do are rather clever and creative
and not everything anymore can be. This is not even
really CSI stuff. It's more like go to old fashioned
investigative stuff, talk to witnesses. They did that, and as
(33:43):
I said, where this is no matter what or they again,
people saw all of it. What they didn't have was
a license plate. They didn't have that, so they don't
know who the driver of the vehicle is. And the
vehicle was gone. Yeah they no, they didn't have a name.
They know who was hit, but the driver of the
vehicle was gone, and they didn't know there's a violent crash.
Though they didn't know much of anything else. That they
(34:03):
did have, as I say, video surveillance, so they could
see the vehicle moving along and so on. But the
driver did get away. They as I did, they did
all the tracking to the cameras until there's no long
until there's no longer any camera, until there's no longer
any sign of the vehicle. Here's what they did. Now,
(34:29):
whether or not this was a tip or whether or
not they simply looked for all of them. Would you
believe that the driver put it an insurance claim for
the repair. I Now, let's imagine you just caused a
terrible crash by striking into someone. Your car's banged up,
so probably you want to get it fixed. On the
(34:50):
other hand, one of the things that they do always
in cases like this is they look to contact all
the body shops. If you had a nieside SUV that
comes in In this instance, they found out because there
was an insurance claim that was filed on behalf of
the vehicle. So they went back and indeed they tracked
the insurance claim back to the vehicle. It's an EISTS
on suv. The damage is exactly where the damage would
(35:12):
be on this car. Is this cheap skatedness or stupidity? Stupidity? Well,
I mean, you know, if you don't prepare in an
insurance claim, you gotta pay for the whole thing yourself, right,
wouldn't you just kind of think that if you're trying
to cover this up, you wouldn't tell, you know, you
wouldn't tell your insurance company and create the most blatant
(35:35):
paper trail imaginable. I mean, I'm thinking, somehow find a
Junkyard dealer that's gonna take it on the sly and
just get rid of the whole thing whatsoever. Or you
can't even report it stolen because they'll ask you what
it is and you say Nissan Suv. I wait a minute, Well,
(35:57):
was a woman charge here? Her name is Jenny Fisher Jay.
I'm sure that's a common name. She's twenty four and
New Berlin was the address list the twenty four year
old Jenny Fisher. I checked her LinkedIn. She is a
hostess at a downtown restaurant and a couple of other
things which she's the suspect. Voting for the story on
FOXIX and again cases very very serious. As of December tenth,
(36:18):
just a few days ago, court filing said the victim's
family told police that the victim was in a coma
and his condition it was worsening. He had two surgeries,
one of which removed part of his skull to release
swelling and pressure on his brain. The criminal complaints of
the victim's white Nissan was parked on and me have
misread a portion of this I did. It was a
(36:38):
Jeep compass, was the striking vehicle that was the tip
off on this of the insurance camecome of the driver
had a Jeep compass. The white Nissan was being driven
by the bride sharing driver, So it was a Jeep
Compass that they were driving, and that's what it was
that they were looking for. So they were looking for
a Jeep compass. And it was estimated from the video
to beating a twenty eighteen into a twenty twenty and
(37:04):
it said that the damage on the vehicle was consistent
with it having been sideswiped. Surveillance video from a nearby
building showed the victim's Nissan park facing southbound on the
west side of Edburen Street. The hazard lights came on,
the victim got out of the driver's seat and a
passenger got out of the back seat. Now, why would
the driver have been getting out, And this is just
(37:24):
it's just one of the unfortunate. The passenger must have
been coming from the airport or somewhere because they had
baggage in the trunk. And often, I know, not always
most of the time, if I'm coming from the airport
or something, if i have an uber sometimes if the
car has the button that they pushed to raise the
Khan trunk, I'll just go grab the bag. I don't
need him to do it. But sometimes the driver is
(37:46):
just proactive that they want to go and take the
bag out. This driver was getting out, So the driver's
getting out now of the driver's side, and that's when
the driver was drilled. Drilled. They walked to the trunk
and grab baggage. At that point, Court filing said an
SUV was seen speeding south butt of Van Buaen with
no tail lights on. Now I don't know if there
(38:07):
were no headlights on, but the camera only captured the
vehicle from behind it. It showed no tail lights on.
The suv struck the victim and the Nissan, and it
kept driving until it was out of the view of
the camera. The passenger said the victim was his ride
share driver. Prosecutor said video from before the crash captured
the same jeep driving with no front end damage. So
(38:27):
they had earlier video no damage in the front end.
Now they see the impact. So they're out there and
they're trying to track down where the jeep who had
the jeep compass. Police reached out to the National Insurance
Crime Bureau. I didn't know there was such a thing,
but there is. Would you believe in the National Insurance
Crime Bureau tracks all the reports. When you know, when
(38:49):
an insurance company gets a claim for autobody damage, that
gets into some database, and the National Crime Bureau has
this database just in case somebody is going to be
looking out for vehicle that may have been damaged. Otherwise,
for all I know, if the person comes into the
body shop, they could have just said my car was
side swipe. They contacted the National Insurance Crime Bureau for
(39:11):
a list of insurance claims for twenty seventeen to twenty
five jeep compasses in Wisconsin in Illinois, so all the
cheap compasses for which there was an insurance claim that
was put in during that period of time. They put
out a search for court filing said they found a
claim on a twenty eighteen jeep compass that was that
was made in December third, two days after the crash,
and got a VIN number. Now I think that's good
(39:33):
police work, don't you. It is also beyond me as too.
You take the courage and you put in an insurance
claim on it. The UH story says that the police
then contacted this woman, Jenny Fisher. In the police report.
(39:55):
The complaint said that Fisher wrote, I was at work
and this is this is apparently what you put in
for sure when she made the report for the insurance,
I was at work and when I left and got
to my front got to my car, the front right
side was smashed, windshield crushed, and the mirror broken. That
actually happened to me in a vehicle of mine a
number of years ago. But I caused the damage. I
(40:17):
in fact, it was on the street like that, I
SWI sidesweped somebody. It just it was my fault. It
was one of those cases of there was one of
those big box trucks that was kind of parked on
a little bit into the lane. I thought I was clear,
and I wasn't, and I smacked the mirror off on
the side and scraped the side of the whole thing.
And I said, I did it well. She claimed, this
is what happened to her, only somebody sideswiped her, whereas
in fact she's speeding down Van Buren and caused this
(40:39):
wreckand badly injured someone. Under the value she put twenty
five hundred dollars in under property. She wrote, my literal car.
There's something about this generation and the use of the
word literal literally. Why did they put the word literally
in every sentence? They ever use? My literal car? She wrote,
(41:03):
They all say it that way. She actually wrote it. Seriously,
you watch any of these YouTube videos they say literally
all the time. Do your daughter say literally in every sentence?
Did they try to when they were eleven and you
got them out of that, or did they just never
They used to say like a lot, and you train
them not to like everything well, you know, like you know,
(41:25):
that goes back to my era though, I mean I
remember a lot of kids would say, like, you know,
they would just throw the word lake in gratuitously, but
literally is thrown in literally all the time. Literally. She
wrote it in her thing, my literal car as supposed
to watch your car described it as a twenty eighteen
Jeep Compass with damage to the right side. Okay, so
(41:48):
the police see this might be it. Police noted all
the streets that the suspects jeep was seen driving on
were two way streets, meaning the jeep would not have
its right side of exposed to the street to be
damaged to a crash. However, right side damage would be
consistent with the crash that seriously injured the victim. In
other words, her point was is that she claimed that
the right side of the vehicle was damaged when it
(42:10):
was side slight. But normally your right side on a
two way street, it would be parked so that the
right side is next to the curb and the sidewalk
and not to the road. All right, So they've got
the video of the vehicle, they see all this and
putting two and two together. The complaint said. Surveillance video
from Fisher's address said showed she entered an underground parking
(42:32):
structure immediately after the crash in her jeep had significant
damage to the front passenger side corner. The video clearly
showed the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle.
Court filing said initial video from the building showed the
driver getting out of the jeep and having difficulty walking,
her body bumping into both sides of a staircase. Now,
obviously they're putting all of that in because they're going
to be they're suggesting perhaps that there may have been
(42:53):
a level of intoxication. That will be a difficult thing
to prove unless they go back and they can track
her whereabouts and her movement before and earlier that night.
And I'm sure they're going to attempt to do that,
But it would be an explanation if there was an
impairment as to why she would have left the scene,
in addition to the fact that she must have been
at fault. It it's very very possible that, as I said,
(43:14):
mentioning what's going on with that street and how narrowood is,
that it might have simply been an accident. If the
ride share driver was kind of parked into the lane
end the person couldn't stop. But according to the video,
the driver was going at a really high rate of speed.
And as I said, if you just try to drive
down Vima, I don't even if there's no traffic, it's
almost impossible to go out a high rate of speed
(43:36):
on that street because the street is it's the closest
thing to like those mazes that they have the rats
run around in and the science experiments. So again, tragic accident,
but they've caught the woman involved in Who knows if
they would have caught her if she hadn't put in
the insurance claim. Pause it literally, I mean she wrote
(43:58):
the word literally literal. Who she actually wrote literal? Well,
then they've got the mug shot and she looks stone.
But I if they ever do a mugshot of me,
I'm just gonna focus on, you know, like you know
who understood the mugshot? Trump? Trump knows this mugshot's gonna
be the most famous mugshot of all time. I'm gonna
(44:20):
steer into this thing looking so damned defiant. Trump turned
his mug shot into a campaign poster. See, you got
to know a goof like you if you ever do
any you gotta think about that if you did, say
just I don't know how you're supposed to look, but
try to look as normal as possible. You well, don't smile,
I mean, don't smile, don't look sad. I mean, if
(44:40):
you have a blank stare, they're gonna say a blank stare.
I don't know how it is that you're supposed to
pull this off, but I mean, like, don't have droopy
eyes and don't le look like you're smashed or something
like that. Mugshot strategies being offered here on the Marketing Podcast.
I guess just a very very bad weekend on the
news and some of these stories truly terrible. When we
(45:08):
come back in the next segment, I'm seeing some positive
developments in a couple of really and this whole is
the world going crazy? Is our nation going crazy? There's
bad news everywhere, but you can find signs and I
(45:30):
have some of them and they're good coming up at
a moment on the Mark Belling Podcast. This is the
Mark Belling Podcast. If you take a look at what's
going on politically all over the world in the nations
(45:50):
that still have elections, and I don't even know what
percentage that is. Obviously some countries have sham elections, but
in the countries that have elections, even the country there
is that have moved to the fire left. We our
Marxist all over the place. You see the political organizations
and candidates from the right prevailing. There was an election
(46:13):
over the weekend in Chile. The Marxists were voted out
and the conservative they call them rightist. That's late one.
This mirror is what happened a couple of years ago
in Argentina, which had been socialist forever, where a conservative
candidate won his slate of candidates was then prevailed in
(46:35):
the most recent elections a few months ago. There are
still clearly Baska cases in South America. Brazil is borderline Marxist,
Venezuela is Marxist. There are a couple of other countries
on tilt, but in the countries in which elections have occurred,
the trend in South America seems to be a bounce
back from that. Now it's easy for me to explain
(46:56):
that most of South America has been at least social,
if not out and out Marxist, for years it's been
a disaster. And when something becomes a disaster after years,
if you still have the ability to vote, there can
be a bounce back from people. We can't have any
more of this. In the meantime, public opinion polls in
(47:19):
the following three European countries right now all show the
rightest political party in the lead. Now, there is a
complicating factor in Europe. In most countries in Europe there's
more than one party. There can be two, three, four
or even five, and in order to form of government,
the party that wins has to try to form a
(47:41):
coalition with other components. So when I say lead, in
some cases in Europe, leading might not be fifty percent.
It just means leading. But of the following countries, the
rightest political party is in the lead in the UK, France,
and this is the one that's really notable Germany. Germany's
had a conservative movement for some time, but it's been
(48:02):
on the fringe. The conservative movement in France has been stronger,
it's never fully prevailed. That's the one that's been led
by Marine La penn In all three countries right now,
the political polls show a sentiment leaning towards the RTIs.
Now I know why this is. There is a disaster
in Europe with terrorism being committed and violence being committed
(48:27):
by Muslims who are residents of those countries. There's a
total rebellion against and a pushback against the open border
policies that's been in place in that country that is
threatening their culture, and now it's just turned to out
and out violence. There have been attacks in numerous countries,
(48:48):
not only un Jewish people as Hanukkah was beginning, but
we're in the Christmas season and aimed at Christians, and
the overwhelming majority of them seems to be coming from Muslims.
The open borders that has occurred in Europe as creating
a significant backlash. So in any event, I'm just noting
(49:10):
that I mentioned South America with Chile after Argentina, Brazil
is going to be the biggest. Whatever way Brazil goes
in the next few years determines the fate of South
America because Brazil is so big and so dominant, and
now in Europe there's clearly a backlash against this nightmare
that's occurred, with huge segments of the population being Muslims
(49:32):
who have chosen not to assimilate to the French culture
or the British culture, of the German culture, but have
just decided that they want to import their own culture
and their own beliefs, which is a complete lack of
respect at all for anyone who has a different religious
belief at all. In the meantime, in the United States,
(49:53):
we obviously have a countervailing tread. We don't know long
term which one is going to win. The twenty twenty
four our election showed a significant turn to the right
in the United States. You can call it simply Trump
or you can ascribe it to Maga. I don't think
we'll know until twenty twenty eight which of the two
it is. Was the twenty twenty four victory simply Trump
(50:16):
sweeping in lots of other Republicans and was the mega
movement nothing more than simply Trump or was it an
ideological shift to the right that dragged trump alog people
have two theories. There are two competing theories. One, Trump's
driving all of this and other Republicans were dragged in
because of the popularity of Trump. The flip side of
(50:38):
this is the ideas of Trump are taking sway and
Trump won despite the fact that he polarizes and antagonizes
a segment of the people who voted for him don't know.
That was only a year ago, and just one year later,
it appears as though the trend everywhere is toward Marxism.
You not only have an out no Marxist getting a
(51:00):
elected mayor of New York, you had the congressional race
in Tennessee where quasi Marxis got forty six percent of
the vote in a Tennessee congression, didn't win, but ran
better than the Democrat would normally run. Most people believe
that twenty twenty six is going to be a blood
bath for the Republicans. It was only a year ago
(51:20):
after Trump's win that you saw all of these analysts,
including many of the Democratic sides, saying, we've got to
reject this AOC stuff. We've got to go back to
being more moderate Democrats, that this embrace of all this
radical stuff, that trans stuff and so on is poisoned
to us. The embrace of open borders has been poisoned
to us. But only a year later, the Democrats are
(51:40):
hell bent on moving even farther to the left, and
they think that's the way that they can win by
simply going all out Marxists. The twenty sixth election will
not answer the question. The one in twenty eight will
Why Well, first of all, Trump won't be on the ballot,
whether it be Vans or Marjorie Taylor Green or Rubio,
whoever it is, there'll be another Republican running for president.
(52:02):
They'll probably be running out a platform pretty similar to
the general notion of MAGA and the Democratic candidate I
think for very very likely be especially if they win
big in twenty six it'll be a quasi Marxist that
they run on their side. And then we'll see, we'll
see whether or not this was just a one off
on Trump won in twenty twenty four, or if it's
a longer term trend in the United States away from
(52:23):
the radical vision of the Democratic Party. Usually, though, what
happens in the United States is reflected in the broader world,
and there is a movement to the right in a
number of countries in the Western world. And when we
say western, always wondered that whole western because it is
at Western hemisphere. But for example, you know, the western
(52:47):
portion of Europe is considered the Western world. South America
is considered the Western world. But like Russia's not the
Western world. China's not the Western world anyway. And now
this story. I have commented forever on the Republicans who
(53:11):
don't fight. It's been a problem in Wisconsin, it's a
problem everywhere. One of the things that I think attracted
many Republicans to Trump back in sixteen and again in
twenty four, what it appeared as though he was politically
dead in twenty two and twenty three, how he resurrected
himself among Republican voters. Whether you like Trump or not,
(53:37):
everyone will acknowledge she's a fighter. It's why the left
hates him. Trump fights. Some people believe that he fights
too hard, and he fights that he doesn't need to fight.
But Trump's a fighter, and I think most Republicans are not,
which brings us to this whole battle in the United
States of a redistricting all over the country, Democrats that
(54:01):
have not already jurymandered themselves so that their districts are
disproportionately Democrat are moving to do so, like California, where
Gavin Newsom of the California Democrats are going to redraw
the congressional districts to try to add a number of
Democratic districts that are currently Republican, which of course you
can do by finagling with where the district lights are
(54:22):
in Texas. However, Republicans tried to do the same thing
and a judge struck it down, which brings us to Indiana.
Indiana is an extremely republican state. About the only part
of Indiana that's not Republican is some areas of the
city of Indianapolis. But even as the big cities go,
Indianapolis is the less. They're all Democrat, but Indianapolis is
(54:48):
one of the least liberal of the big cities. It's
still liberal, but you know, think of not Seattle or
San Franciscocia, Cargo or anything like that. So Indiana is
and then there's a couple of college towns in the
Lee democratic, but otherwise India is very republican, very Trump
had a massive percentage when he carried the state. The
(55:10):
Indiana legislature. Legislative leaders had a bill to withdraw the
congressional districts in Indiana to make them more republican. They
were going to try to make it nine to zero,
in other words, draw the districts so that there would
be a Republican majority in each of them. Trump has
been pushing this because, as I mentioned, across the United States,
(55:31):
most Democrat states are drawn that way right now to
favor the Democrats. Illinois is an extreme example. You've got
states that are like fifty three forty seven Democrat in
which the House districts are ninety percent Democrat districts, and
Trump has been encouraging the Republicans to fight back. In Texas,
it was struck down. I think the United States Supreme
(55:53):
Court is going to overturn that striking down nonetheless was
struck down. But in Indiana, the Republican controlled the state
Senate refused to withdraw the districts. Now, you may ask
yourself trying to remember. I gave a speech last week
and I made a bullet point at the end of
US something, and I can't remember if I also made
(56:14):
it on the podcast. Anyway, I'll make this point now
because it's going to relate I talk about. I think
I did say it on the podcast. You'll see, for example,
federal judges striking down something Trump wants to do, and
they'll say, well, two of the judges are Republican appointed judges,
and the point that I made is Republican appointed judges
are not necessarily going to rule in favor of Trump.
(56:35):
Some of those Republican judges are Bush appointed judges. Did
I make that point? I did? I did, and I
made it again in the speech, and I made kind
of a big deal and try to explain that the
old version of the Republican Party hates Trump, you know,
the Bush Cheney wing. They hate Trump as much as
not maybe as much, but close to as much as
(56:56):
the lefties do. All right, Indiana, the most powerful Republican
in Indiana up to about four or five years ago
was who and for many years Pence. Pence was the
extremely popular Republican governor of Indiana. When Trump plucked him
(57:17):
out in sixteen to be his vice presidential running mate,
the Pence influence remains strong. It's like, I don't want
to compare the two as being ideologically the same, but
it's not. But there's still a huge Walker influence here
in Wisconsin. Now, Walker's not overtly anti Trump, and he
hasn't done anything to obstruct Trump or try to keep
his finger in the pod in Wisconsin to be anti
(57:39):
Trump or anything like that. But Pence, obviously in Indiana
has and it's been described that many of the members
of some of the Republicans who voted against the remap
are very loyal to Mike Pence and therefore hate Trump.
So they're not going to redraw the districts in Indiana.
So what you have here is the Democrats are willing
to jurymander their states, but Republicans are not willing to
(58:00):
juryman to their own. I bring that story up because
I picked up on the following little item. The latest
Democrat to run for governor is Joel Brennan. He's the
head of the Greater Milwaukee Committee. There was a thought
that he was going to try to run as a
moderate Democrat. Well that's what he'll do if he wins
(58:21):
the nomination in the general election. But in order to
win the primary, he's got to put out his radical
bona fides and to give a big in everyone. One
of the comments that he made is Wisconsin should absolutely
redraw its congressional maps. Wisconsin has eight US House seats,
six are Republican. The Democrats are frosted over this because
we're a fifty to fifty state Wisconsin, but six of
(58:43):
the eight districts are Republican. Now why are they well,
Here's why. Let's imagine you were trying to draw a
map of the districts of Wisconsin. There are only two
pockets of this state that are predominantly well two and
an asterisk. Two pockets of the state overwhelming the Democrat
are Milwaukee County and Dane County. There is one addition,
(59:05):
it just doesn't have a lot of people, and that's
the area's right up bordering Lake Superior. For some reason,
it might be the Minnesota influenced their Democrat but just
the very top of the state. Otherwise, the Democrats in
Wiscon I mean, Dane County is seventy five to eighty
percent democratic, Milwaukee County is like sixty seven percent. The
(59:27):
whole rest of the state is predominantly Republican. It's hard
to draw a congressional district in which you're not going
to have six of the atistics being Republican because the
Democrats are all packed into two areas. How, for example,
do you draw a district in northern Wisconsin that isn't
Republican dominated. How do you draw a district, say Walkeshaw
(59:49):
Washington County, you know the area that's Scott Fitzgeral District.
How do you draw that district that it's not predominantly Democratic.
So that's the reason that it's six to two right now.
But Joel Brennan and the Demo Pocrats are saying they
want to redraw the districts to make it at least
four to four. You know, the way that you would
do that is you'd have to carve up Milwaukee and
carve up Madison and put them into two of the
(01:00:12):
other districts. I'll try to explain this. You can visualize
Paul lives in Ozaki County bordering Washington County. You could
take the district that's currently Gwen Moore's district and move
its dividing line north to say I ninety four northward,
and then go and grab in Ozaki County and Washington County,
(01:00:34):
and the pure numbers of Milwaukee County would overwhelm it,
and you could create a fifty two to forty eight
Democratic district by putting the north side of Milwaukee into
a good chunk of the suburbs. Then you've got the
district in the southeastern corner of the state representative by
Brian style that's currently southern Milwaukee southern Waka Shore. We're
Sin in Kenosha Counties and Walworth and a chunk of rock.
(01:00:58):
You could redraw that district and Walworth out of it,
and move Western Racine in western Kenosha County, which are
very Republican, out of it, and assign it to another district,
and now you've suddenly got a Democrat majority district. You'd
have to finagle around and draw really goofy lines in
order to do it. But Joel Brennan saying, that's what
we got to know. We have to do this. We
(01:01:19):
have to make these districts more democratic. So you have
at the same time, the Democrats are out no campaigning
on redrawing the districts. Republicans in some state refusing to
do it. It's simply a function of not being willing
to fight as hard as the other side. I have
a good quote on this, it's from Nate Morris. There
(01:01:43):
are people listening to me who know who that is.
They either live in Kentucky or they're even bigger political
junkies than I am, Because I admit I never heard
of Nate Morris. Nate Morris is running for the United
States Senate. It might be the state Senate. I actually
don't know he's running for the Senate in the state
of Kentucky. Again. He might be running for the I
(01:02:04):
think he's running for the US Senate seat. He's running
for Mitch McConnell's seat, Mitch McConnell leaving the Senate. I
think he's one of the Republicans running in the primary
for that. Here's Nate Morris's quote, as posted on X
whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blue slips. Let me explain.
You know what a blue slip is. A blue slip is.
(01:02:29):
Let's imagine President Trump nominates a federal judge for say,
we'll say eastern Wisconsin. All you need to do to
stop a vote on that is one senator puts in
what's called a blue slip saying I want to block this,
and the Senate generally honors the blue slip. Well, they're
(01:02:51):
at drawing blue slips right and left. In the end,
you could force a vote on these things that you
can get them through. But what the Democrats are trying
to do is run out the clock on Trump. There's
only three years left and they're holding up his nominees
all over the place. The reason Trump's been naming all
of these interim, the United States attorneys in interim. This
is because he can't get votes in the Senate because
(01:03:11):
you've got these blue slips being issued. So that's the
body's what the Republican in Kentucky is referring to. So
I'll go back and read the whole quote. Whether it's redistricting,
the filibuster, or blue slips. The biggest problem our movement faces.
And again this guy's a Republican. The biggest problem are
movement faces. Now i'll finish the sentence. What's the biggest
(01:03:33):
problem the call it mega or conservative or America first
movement faces? What's the biggest problem in faces? I agree
with him on this. What do you think the biggest
problem the conservative movement broadly speaking? Faces? I think there's two,
but there's one that's the biggest. You want to try
to jump in on it, well, Pauls's he does, so
(01:04:00):
then I'll tell you I think the number two problem
and it's huge, But this one even bigger is the
disunity right now, you know, everybody fighting with one another
over power. The Marjorie Taylor Green's mad at Trump, Trump's
mad at her. You know, Candice Owens is mad at
Erica Kirk. By the way, they're having a meeting. They're
gonna try to resolve this. There's just a lot of infighting.
(01:04:20):
That's number two. But the bigger problem is, and I
agree with Nate Morris, this guy from Kentucky on this,
the biggest problem I may move in faces today is
that too many elected Republicans simply do not understand that
we are in a street fight for the fate of
Western civilization. That's it. The left has gone Marxist and
(01:04:44):
TIFA is committing violence all over. People like Charlie Kirk
are killed in Lefty's chair. They tried to kill Trump twice.
Somalis are stealing money openly in Minnesota, and the Democrats
(01:05:05):
were providing cover because they were giving them their votes.
So I'm going to read his quote again, whether it's redistricting,
the filibuster, and here he's referencing, you know, the philibuster
is there forever. The filibuster is the thing in the
United States Senate says you need sixty votes in order
to end debate. So the Democrats just if you don't
(01:05:26):
have sixty votes for an issue, they can hold it
up forever and ever and ever. It's been used for
the longest time, but never to the extreme that we
have right now, where the Democrats and you have said,
simply don't want to let the Republicans vote on anything.
They know that probably they'll be back in control of
the Senate in a year now after the November elections,
so they're trying to run off the clock. So again,
(01:05:46):
this guy's saying, look, if they're going to jerrymander the
districts and Democratic states, we've got to do it in
Republican states. They're saying, look, we got to end the
philibuster because they're abusing it. And then with regard to
the blue slips, you've got to end the blue slip
practice because Trump can't get his nominees through. So again,
whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blueslips, the biggest problem
our movement faces today is that too many elected Republicans
(01:06:08):
simply do not understand that we are on a street
fight for the fate of Western civilization. They are living
in a fantasy world that hasn't existed in decades. This
isn't nineteen eighty five anymore. So spear me your bs
excuses about why we can't execute President Prompt's agenda in Congress.
We absolutely can, but only if Republicans grow a spine
(01:06:30):
for once. The stakes here are just too high. I
agree with you. Back to positive news. This is something
that this is one of those stories that apparently well,
(01:06:52):
I mean, this sounds a stupid way of saying it,
but I'll explain. You either knew about it or you didn't. Well,
that's true of everything. But it's one of those things that, like,
so people know everything about it, but the vast majority
of people didn't know anything about it at all. It's
kind that's the kind of story like that the mainstream
media doesn't really cover. And I was not aware of it.
Then somebody told me about it. Now I am aware
(01:07:13):
of it, and now all of you who listen to
me will become aware of it. Take a guess where
I fault. You don't even know what the story is.
Take a get well, I had to find out about
it somewhere. It's not like I do a lot of things,
so you can like limit where I would find out
about something. I mean, what do I even do? Put
your back? I could have been a Bucks game, There's that.
(01:07:34):
What else do I do? I go to I gave
a speech up north. I go to Florida, I go
to church. What else do I do? I get a
fish fry. Paul, you just wiped out. I bet at horses.
I come here, You're right, I come here. I mean
I got some doctor's appointments. I see like a dentist.
I've had detal work. I mean, it's not like I
(01:07:56):
do nothing, but I think the number of things I
do is less than ten. So what do you think
I fought on about this doctor's office. That's wrong, But
that's that that could have been in. Somebody at church
told me. Somebody of the generation would know about those things.
(01:08:16):
She said to me, do you know about Nicki Minaj
going after Gavin Newsom? A lot of times people will
say do you know about? And it's never anything that
I want to hear about. You can just you probably
even got never somebody tries to tell you about some
obscure zoning issue you know in Yeah, well, okay, she
said you know about Nicki Minaj and Gavin Neussom admitted
you'd be interested in hearing about this too, right, Yeah,
(01:08:40):
why I was? Nicki Minaj is a rapper and a
very see the whole thing that's being a rapper is
if you're a rapper, you have to do everything you
can to be get draw attention to yourself. Right, Well
that's from the beginning. Rappers have never relied simply on
their music as being sufficient to draw tention to themselves
(01:09:00):
their entire lives. That, well, she's one of them. So
I just I'm just you would just assume she'd be
another left wing flacoh weirdo psychotic nut, right, yes, yes,
I mean you do you know more about this than
I did? Then see you a huge story. But that's
(01:09:21):
my point. It's a huge story if you know about it,
but if you don't know about it, and I was
not okay anyway. The first part of the story is
several weeks ago, after Pope Leo drew attention to the
fate of Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria, Nicki Minaj smoke out.
I think she retweeted or reposted on X the Pope's
(01:09:42):
comment there's a new one now. And this is the
thing that I didn't know. Nicki Minaj is going after
Gavin Newsome, the governor of California. First of all, I
can tell by her comments she's very smart, because her
rips on him are pretty hilarious. Gavin Newsom, as you
(01:10:04):
probably know, governor of California. He's going to run for president,
and this is the trick that all Democrats have. Is
to get the Democratic nomination, he has to move to
the left because the majority of the party's voters are
Wackle Marxist lunatics. But to win the general election, he
has to try to reposition himself to the center. But
Newsom is better at that than most. I mean, he's
(01:10:26):
full of crap and the stateium runs as a disaster,
but I admit he's one of the few. He's not
a Kamala who can't put two sentences together. He's like
the opposite. He's way too smooth. He's just a BS artist.
He's like in a different way. Clinton. Clinton was as
smooth as could be. You know, he was the awe
shocks with you know, the manure on his feet kind
(01:10:46):
of thing. And Newsom's a different kind of smooth. He's
a California that's what he is. I mean, I used
to think everything in California was like that, But think
Kamala Cameroon and she would be She's in California. But
she would be like the opposite of smooth. So I'm
gonna quote from a story. So after I was tipped
off about this, I did a Google search and I
(01:11:06):
found some of the pieces that were out there, including
some comment this is newsome. Now he was on the
Ezra Klein Show Wednesday of last week, five days and
again I'm doing the podcast on Monday. This is what
he said, this is newsome. I want to see trans kids.
He's actering, he wants to see more trans kids. I
(01:11:29):
don't know that I've ever heard a Democrat actually say
we need more of them. I've heard some of them
say we need to support the ones that are. I
want to see trans kids. There's no governor that's done
more pro trans legislation than I have. No one has
been a stronger advocate for the LGBT community. So Nicki
Minaj hears about this and share retorts. Imagine being the
(01:11:55):
guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha, Not
even a trans adult would run on. That's a good shot.
Nicky Vanas says, even a trans grown up would not
say I want to see more trans kids, or at
least you would not use that as your platform. I
want to see more trans kids. I want to slice
(01:12:16):
off more bobs. I want to jam hormones on every
kid walking down the street. So anyway, Nicki Minaj, not
even a trans adult would run on that. Normal adults
wake up and think they want to see heal health.
I said, let me see it again. Normal adults wake
up and think they want to see healthy, safe, happy kids,
(01:12:38):
not gay. The gav Knots gave out send in the
next guy, I'm bored. See you know that's a rapper
kind of thing. I'm bored. That means she's dismissive of him.
Knwsom then responded, and there was a back and forth
and so on a no quote. The back and forth
between minajah Newsom came after Elon Musk's America Pack posted
(01:13:00):
a video of nuisance trans comments. So this comment that
news made on the Ezra Klein Show what he wanted
to see more trans kids. Elon Musk then reposted it
and got it out there, and that's probably how it
got onto the radar screen of Nicki Minaj And I mean,
I know that's what happens with a lot of things.
I'll see on x formerly known as Twitter, in which
you know something will come across your screen that it
(01:13:21):
becomes an interesting thing. And my guess is that that's
where she founded because of the other places that she's
been going to. On X one commenter responded, We're sorry
your daughter hates you, Elon. Elon Musk in fact has
a daughter of this trans and it's the thing that
he said turned them against the trans movement. He saw
(01:13:41):
how people took advantage of mixed up kids and got
them to essentially ruin their lives. Musk responded, I assume
you're referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic
mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you
push on vulnerable children. I love Xavier very much and
hope he recovers. Continued to take aim at Newsom on
(01:14:02):
X calling him this is nicky Minaj. Again. I could
tell already that I like her. Called Newsom the cute
boy who got everything handed to him because of how
cute and how sexy and how hot and smoking he
was sitting there in that suit with the sneakers on.
(01:14:22):
He thinks he's Tom Cruise. Only the difference is his
next mission is impossible. So I mean that's this is
wearing this suit and then he's got sneakers. You just
see that. You could just tell it's a pose, right,
I just try to be cool. So, I mean, so
you've got no Nicki Minaj who's got a massive she's
(01:14:47):
would you call her a rapper or hip hop? The
person who was telling me about this the trip, she's
young and she's used the term rap describing her. I
don't I couldn't tell you a Nicki Minaj song. I
know all the Rihanna stuff, but Nicki Minaj is too
out there for me. But anyway, Newsom was considered to
be a likely twenty twenty eight Democratic presidential nominee candidate.
(01:15:08):
In additional post, Minage suggested that his pursuit of the
presidency to already be doing. Here's more Nicki Minaj. Oh,
Gaby pooh, it only gets worse from here on for you, buddy.
It's the end of the road for you, my love.
So Nicki Minaj is apparently now on our side. I mean, seriously,
who would have thought. I mean, for a while, you
(01:15:32):
kind of had uh not jay Z the other one
who's the one that have Kanye. You sort of had Kanye,
but he might be in a rubber room right now.
Then Kanye went off and started to go all anti
Semitic and doesn't seem to be embraced by much of
anybody anymore. But Nicki Minaj is still out there in
very big deal. Well, let she ask, she's got another
shot here, get in the nearest jet ski and let
(01:15:54):
the beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make
you happier than this race that you will not win.
Enjoy life peace. That was Friday Saturday. She goes back
and starts the posting, so he's under her skin. Though,
by the way, I did check Nicki Minaj's followers and
exit like however, many billion people on the planet, I
think she has seven times more followers than that. But
(01:16:16):
I mean, maybe I need to start following her then
I can repost her stuff. Well probably should. I did
post this story on my account on x over the weekend.
Minage has aligned herself with Trump administration officials and policies
in recent weeks. You wonder what happened several weeks ago
(01:16:37):
that got this light public go. My guess is that
I've made this comment a number of times, and I
could speak from my own experience. You know, forty five
years ago when I moved from the left to the right.
It's usually one thing that you change your mind on.
I know, but my point is that's why I'm gonna
get with this. Change your mind on one thing. But
once you said now your mind is opening, your question, well,
(01:16:58):
maybe I'm wrong about this, and the next thing and
the next thing. And when you just rejected anybody, all
the right Republicans are not all this right. I'm not
part of that. I'm not part of that. When you
break ranks on one thing. You've seen this with Bill Maher.
He still very liberal, but he's broken ranks now on
quite a few of the doctrinaire positions from the left.
Once your mind is opened, you started thinking about things.
And my guess is for religious reasons, she started focusing
(01:17:21):
on the atrocity going on in Africa, the atrocity, the
genocide that nobody ever talks about it, which they're just
there's a massive Christian movement, Catholic, Lutheran, other Christian religions
in Africa, and the Muslims in Africa hate it and
they're trying to kill them all. And my guess is
that Nicki Minaj, for religious reasons, has been aware of
this issue. The fact that these are Africans people of
(01:17:43):
color probably made it of some interest to her, and
she got on that And now that one issue has
opened her mind and triggered her thoughts in any number
of other areas. In November, Minaj posted a screenshot of
a Trump True social post in which he said Christianity
is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. She wrote, reading
(01:18:05):
this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We
live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.
We don't have to share the same beliefs in order
for us to respect each other. Numerous countries all around
the world are being affected by this horror, and it's
dangerous to pretend that we don't notice. She thanked the
president and his team for taking this seriously. God bless
(01:18:28):
every persecuted Christian. Let's remember to lift them up in prayer.
So we have Nicki Minaj on our side. I mean,
if you would have asked me to name one hundred
and forty million Americans who I thought might come over
to our side, I don't know that she would have
cracked the list of one hundred and forty. I mean,
there are some white rappers that that's been their thing forever,
(01:18:51):
is that they're simply white conservatives who rap and do
their stuff. But she's she's one of those that was
a superstar long before there was any political comment MATERII
out there or not. And one final there's a show
I've mentioned. I think everybody relates to this, all the
(01:19:13):
stuff that's out there on streaming, that somebody will tell
you how to watch this, that it's pretty good. The
problem is always that nobody ever tells you, Like on
episode two of season one, they'll tell you about something
and then you find out we're in season four and
there's like thirty nine episodes before that, and almost all
of them are you know, back in the sixties, seventies
and eighties, TV shows are self contained. Like if you
(01:19:35):
watch say Bonanza, you didn't have to watch the Sunday
before you watch the reruns. Now there's never a continuing
story from week to week. But most of those shows
that are on streaming and so on, you know, or
I think like the Sopranos and shows like that, sounded
for what happened in one week. You can't watch the
Sopranos and come in like an episode thirty nine. You
have to see it from the beginning. And I'm sure
(01:19:55):
Breaking Bad, which I still haven't seen, is one of them.
Keep hearing about these shows, and then it's been around
for a while. Have you heard about Landman? Heard about it,
but you've not seen it. You've heard it's really good.
See now I've heard the same thing. It's got Sam
(01:20:17):
Elliot's on it, I think. Yeah, Billy Bob Thornton is
in it. Everything Billy Bob Thornton has ever been in
has been good, largely because he's He's one of the
greater actors of all time, don't you think. But part
of it, the part of it is every character he
ever plays, it seems to be it's got like a
dangerous evilness. He plays evil in a normal way, if
(01:20:42):
you know what I mean. He is clearly psychotic and
craze than every one of these characters, but he acts
in a non psychotic and craze fashion. Anyway, Billy Bob
Thornton is in it. Sam Elliott, who's has the deepest
voice in the history of voices, He's in there, and
so on. Anyway, for the most recent episode of the
(01:21:04):
one that I guess just dropped or just landed a landmark.
The characters are talking about something and I want to
quote here from it is in the fifth episode of
the second season. Okay, it's in the second season. That's
still time for me to go back and try to
catch up and start screaming on. It features a conversation
between Tommy Norris played by Billy Bob Thornton and his
(01:21:25):
father t L played by Sam Elliott. As they talk,
Tommy suggested to his father they be watched the view
to pass the time. T L that asks Tommy what
the view is? Now, Tommy, that's the Billy Bob Thornton character.
He now tells Sam Elliott what the view is. Here's
(01:21:45):
the quote. This should have been my quote of the day.
Well we had. We can have two quotes of the day,
can't we. This is the Billy Bob Thornton character in
Is it landman or land man? I wouldn't. I don't
even know, really man, you would pronounce it and not landman?
Is it about? What is it? If something that's land
in real estate or ranching or I don't know anything
(01:22:08):
about it. I just know people have said it's good.
You don't really know either. You're trying to look it
up and find out it is on Paramount Plus by
the way, which is it's in Texas. It's probably I
don't know, maybe it's something billionaire is making money off
of boil so maybe an update of that Hold Dallas thing. Anyway,
it's on Paramount Plus. So now here's Billy Bob Thornton's
(01:22:30):
character telling Sam Elliott what the view is. How would
you tell somebody? What if somebody asked you what the
view is? What would you say? A bunch of old
hag liberal has been what else? Making fun of Trump? Well,
here's Philly Bob Thornton is pretty close to you. A
(01:22:51):
bunch of pissed off millionaires bitching about how much they
hate millionaires and Trump and men and you and me
and everybody else they got there be up their asses about.
It's pretty funny. I mean, any show that's out there
that's like making fun of the view is something I
gotta get under my radar, all right, because I'm only
(01:23:13):
it's it's in the second season. That's easier for me
to go than going back and starting the whole breaking
bad And then if I watch the breaking bad. I'm
gonna have to go do the better calls calls Saul.
I just Pulse's breakings Bad's better than the better call Sault. Well,
I'll just do that. I'll just do Land. Where does
Yellowstone coming on this? Well? Okay, which Dwight do first? See?
(01:23:34):
I'm thinking I can start on Land man and catch
up and catch up faster than the others and then
move on to the next thing. Well, I want to
see the lad Yeah, breaking bad. They aren't making fun
of the old bag. The battle axes on the view
and in this show, it is time to take a break.
On the Markedelling podcast, this is the Markedelling podcast. Is
(01:23:59):
it is just it's hard to overstate how terrible the
Packers situation is. Micah Parsons blew out his ACL. What
appeared to be a spectacular trade is now a nightmare
for the Packers. The ACL is the major ligament in
(01:24:21):
the knee. Best case scenario, he might be back for
the beginning of nine season. In the next season, the
recovery time on an ACL is usually nine to twelve months.
I'm of the opinion that if you don't do fifteen months,
depending on the sport, that you're in, you're screwed. Fifteen
months would mean he would be out through all of
(01:24:42):
next season, but most players try to come back in nine.
The problem is it's the ligament that essentially holds your
knee up. There's a couple of other its interior cruciate ligament.
There's a couple of other ligaments in there that aren't
as critical as the ACL. The way he himself a
non contact injury indicates it just probably went. And they
(01:25:04):
say that usually when they just probably went, that there'd
been a problem that was developing and finally it went
off on you. The problem, of course, with everything pertaining
to this is that the Packers gave up so much
for him. The Packers have no number one draft pick
next year or the following year, and prior to the
(01:25:26):
moment at which he injured himself, it was a spectacularly
good trade. You make a trade like this to try
to win a Super Bowl. And the way he was
playing just reminded me of how Reggie White. It took
several years after Reggie was getting here became the piece
of the puzzle on defense that helped the Packers win
a Super Bowl. Micah Parsons was playing at a level that,
combined with the Packers offense, was making the Packers a
(01:25:48):
legitimate Super Bowl contender. And that's why you make a
trade like this. He's had a great four years prior
to come into Green Bay and was having a spectacular season,
and now he's not only gone for this season, who
knows about next season and beyond that. It is a
terrible injury to recover from, depending on your position, Many players,
(01:26:12):
particularly in football basketball as well, who have acls either
don't make it back or come back totally compromise. The
famous Packer case of David Bachtiari, who never made it back.
He just play and then it went on them and
you couldn't get it together. In basketball, there's the Jabari
Parker situation. What will often happen players who come back
(01:26:33):
too soon, They favor the leg and they blow out
the other ACL. And from the perspective of Parsons, his
great strength was he was so strong and fast. The
same day this happened, Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City went
down with an ACL. Earlier this season, Tucker Kraft, the
Packer tight end, went out with an ACL. The Packers
(01:26:55):
have on their team this year, probably two guys who
were going to be first team All Pro Craft and Parsons,
and they both went out with acls. Of the three
players on the team, I think the three most important
Packers prior to these two injuries were love Craft and Parsons.
(01:27:15):
Now two of the three are gone. The ACL injury
is becoming more and more common. Football injuries are very,
very common, but this one in particular, almost the death
penalty more than ever. Now. I'm not a doctor in
all of this, but I have my theories. I think
(01:27:36):
that the problem with so, you know, I go back
to watching football in the sixties, seventies, in the eighties,
you never heard about acls. You didn't hear about knee injuries,
and sometimes they didn't even know what it was. Like
Dick Bucket said terrible knees, and Gail Sayers had terrible
knees and so. But I just think that the thing
right now is you have athletes that are so fast
and so big and so strong. You have these incredible
(01:27:58):
muscles and their things so fast, and the way work
the players have done and the training they have done,
they've bulked up and these are such strong muscles and
such speed, But you still have the same kind of
bones and the same kind of ligaments. The other injury
that's terrible is the Achilles tendon injury, where you know,
just the pounding that you're taking on the body. So
(01:28:21):
I don't know if it's an indictment on sports, but
you know, you're back in the steroid era when you
saw so many players during training camp dropping over of
heart attacks and dying. Well, the steroids were giving them
the ability to exercise at and they just didn't get tired.
They could work and work and work and work. But
they say it got the same hearts and lungs that
everybody had before, and they were overtaxing their bodies. And
(01:28:43):
I just think that if you go through the history
of acl injuries, it tends to be the greater the athlete,
the more likely they are to get them. And I
think it's because they're the ones that have the incredible muscles,
they're the fast ones. You know, state when we make
in horse racing all the time is the slow horses
never get it's the fast ones that do. Part of
that is the fast ones are running fastest, the pounding
(01:29:05):
harder on the ground, And so what if you're out
there just jogging around, You're not gonna get hurt. The
non contact is always the worst one because it means
you could understand somebody gets banged on something, something gets broke,
or something. A non contact means it was just ready
to go. And there's nothing good about this. People talk
(01:29:26):
about whether or not the Packers. I don't know how
you could possibly be a Super Bowl contender and lose
two players of this caliber. Now, everybody gets injuries, but
these are massive losses. And the way they had structured
the whole defense all year was to take advantage of
the fact that Parsons was always being double teamed. And
from Parsons perspective, the NFL is a little different in
(01:29:47):
terms of contracts than the other sports leagues. But he
still will get most of his money. He had that
big signing bonus when he cut his new deal with
Green Bay what he got here, but his career is
now at least at the standard that he played in
was Jeff pretty and for the Packers, it's just it's crushing,
you know, the whole game with Denver is I said
last week, I don't I think the Packers probably aren't
(01:30:10):
going to win. The bigger game is Chicago coming through.
You just hope nobody gets hurt, and somebody got hurt,
and other than love of all the guys, you didn't
want to get hurt. It's Micah Parsons. But that's what
football is. And from Kansas City's perspective, at least the
Chiefs fans could say, we won all of our Super
Bowls with Mahomes and it was the very game in
(01:30:30):
which they were eliminated and knocked out. It was at
the end of the game that Mahomes got the ACL
and so on. Yeah, I just it's just a bummer
all concern for Packer fans, and as I say, the
fact that they gave up so much. It's the reason
why you in football are so leary of making a
(01:30:51):
deal in which, in the case of the Packers, they
gave up three players. They gave up the defensive lineman,
defensive lineman, they get Kenny Clark and two number one picks.
You presume a number one pick is going to be
a starter. They gave up all of that to get
Parsons right now, and they're going to have no nothing
to show for it. That's what football is, and it's
(01:31:14):
the great frustration, of course for sports fans, especially football.
Injuries can happen in all sports, but especially football to
a growing extent. Basketball and these two injuries, two injuries
in particular, the Achilles and the acl they're the killers,
and they're more and more common. All Right, that's a
sour not to end the show on, isn't it? If
(01:31:36):
you have anything good that we can say is to
override all of that. No, I'm that upbeat. Note, we'll
wrap it up for today's program. I had an idea
for something that I wanted to do, but I couldn't
(01:31:57):
figure out a way to do it. I'm if it's
becoming more and more rebellious against Christmas starting way too soon.
But even I after acknowledge, really like a week a
week and a half away from Christmas, this is a
true soon for it to start. But I still thinking
that it's too soon. It's still overwhelming me. It all
over the place. Anyway, back with another podcast on Wednesday Night.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
We have a quote of the day today and I'm
going to open with it. Sometimes I share the quote
of the day and then I tell you who it
is that said it. I'm going to tell you here
who it is. It's Joe Biden, and it's from nineteen
eighty nine. You know it's a long time ago. And
(00:43):
you really know how long ago it is. When you
take a look at what's happened to the Democrats in
this country. There are so many issues in which the
things that they once stood for are the things that
they are now adamantly opposed to. I'm going to read
this quote. This is Biden nineteen eighty nine. He was
(01:06):
a senator. Let's go back at Let's go after the
drug lords where they live with an international strikeforce. There
must be no safe haven for narco terrorists. Obviously, that
was a rather non controversial statement at the time. If anything,
(01:29):
it might be considered extreme from the right. Biden was
suggesting that we go out and kill the major drug
lords wherever they are. Wasn't any objection that I'm aware of.
I don't recall them saying it wasn't any objection I'm
aware of from Democratic leaders or the left. No. Admittedly,
(01:52):
that's a long time ago, and that party has changed
radically where we are now. The current President Trump is
going after narco terrorists and the term is now being used,
but only on the right. International drug dealers are being
considered terrorists, and the left is objecting to that. This
(02:15):
whole drama over the second strike on the drug boat
and whether or not Defense Secretary Pete Hesitt should have
authorized it or not. First of all, the video seems
to indicate that the drug boat was going to go
back and reload. But whether it was or it wasn't,
it's undeniable that this was drugs that were being smuggled
(02:37):
into the United States. And the reason that they're using
boats now is that Trump is sealed off the border. Now,
there's a reason I'm bringing this story up to begin
the program. This is just a bad weekend all over,
and there isn't any single component in it, but it
(02:59):
sure seems to me that a portion of it is
tied to drugs. We have a very different drug problem
than what I've seen at any other point in my life.
It's just different. You see so many acts of violence
that seem to have a drug component to them. There
(03:25):
was a comment that was made a few days ago
interesting They was at a symposium put on by The
New York Times. The CEO of Pallanteer, the big AI
company that focuses on the defense industry. He made the
comment that if the people that were oding on fetanyl
(03:46):
were primarily the people in that room, in other words,
the big shots, the titans of Wall Street, the elite,
if they were the ones who were dying over feentanyl,
there would be no controversy over going out and killed them.
But the reality is that the fedanol in particular is targeting
the middle class. Seriously, who doesn't know a family of
(04:10):
somebody whose kids odeed on fetanyl? Everybody does. As I said,
it's the drug of the middle class, not even so
much poor people. It's the lower middle class, middle class
and upper middle class. It isn't so much the drug
of the uber wealthy. They're under their own stuff. The
(04:32):
fediol problem though, and to some extent, myth and the
other stuff that's out there is linked. I think you
can throw in pot. I think it's the ultimate gateway drug.
But whether you agree with that or not is really
neither here nor there for this point. Obviously, feed at
all is an enormous problem. It's addictive the first time
(04:55):
you take it, it's unbelievably powerful, it's almost impossible to
get off of, and the users of it often end
up dead. But as I say, it is not an
equal opportunity abused drug. There are parts of the country
(05:20):
on which the feninol problem resonates more than others. Back
when Biden made that comment thirty six years ago, the
Democrats as much as many much as the Republicans, were
in favor of going after the international drug cartels, terrorists,
(05:41):
the people that were shipping all of this in. This
is the situation we have with fenanol right now. Fenanyl
is so dirt cheap that they use it to lace
other drugs. Throughout my entire history of following drugs, one
of the things that would go on as drug dealers
would water down they're drug You know, the talcum powder
(06:05):
that would be thrown into stuff and mascarade as coke.
You would water down the drugs, so there wouldn't be
as strong, so you can get more bang for your butt.
Now the Federal is cheaper than all the other drugs,
so they put the federyl and the other drugs. It's
so bizarre. Why is it so cheap because so much
comes in. Fortunately, Trump is sealed off the border that
has cut off that supply, so now it's going out.
(06:25):
I see. We live in a world in which leftists
overlook so much of the crime that goes on in
our country, but they are outraged that the president of
the United States is trying to stop people from bringing
(06:48):
highly addictive narcotics into the United States. It's an extraordinary
situation and kind of the launching point for today's program.

dot com all right, I want to turn my attention
(07:30):
to another story for the past and we're doing this
podcast on Monday afternoon. For the past twenty four to
thirty six hours, the media nationally and especially locally, had
(07:53):
been focusing on the soul called person of interest in
the Own University killings. He was named twenty four year
old man. He's from Cedarberg. There was law enforcement out
(08:15):
of his house, and I don't know all of the
news organizations that named him. He was not only not charged,
he wasn't arrested. JS online is one of them they
named him. It appears as though he didn't do it.
He's been released, not being held for further question. It
(08:39):
were just released and the authority said, we have no
reason to further hold him. Yet he was out there named.
I understand when there's a police investigation, they look into
any number of things. There may be any number of suspects.
If you have a possible suspect, you're going to look
in at eggs. So the cops are out at his
(08:59):
house and Cederberg, Wisconsin police are crawling around all over
the piece and people have you know, and there's a
level of interest to it. The curious thing about This
is prior to me coming to Milwaukee and the World
War One era got here in nineteen eighty nine. Milwaukee
was the first market that I had ever worked in
(09:21):
in which there was just a general understanding in the
media that you did not name a suspect until they
were charged. Everywhere else where I work, the standard operating
procedure from all media was if someone was arrested, you
would report it. You didn't have to wait until they
were charged. But in Milwaukee, the standard it was I
think the newspaper set it, and all the TV stations
(09:41):
they all followed it. You don't report someone's name until
they're charged. And that's still pretty much the standard until
you get to a story in which they just decide
that's not a rule. And in this case, he wasn't
even arrested. I know his name was everywhere, and I
get that in any things are gonna be all over
social media, but the so called responsible media in the
(10:05):
past had not done this. When you got any type
just take a murder case, just a local murder in
your community, unless it's an obvious case where you know,
a husband shoots a wife or something, any number of
people are questioned. They'll go into people's backwards and there
may be somebody who appears to be shady or suspicious
(10:27):
for any number of reasons. And it isn't that I
don't want you to direct your life to how they'd
play things out on TV. But you know the show
Law and Order, they did interview five or six or
seven people. They found out that the case is over here.
That's kind of what reality is. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes
they're going on on the right suspect in the beginning,
and in many cases you have to talk to a
lot of people. During other cases you talk to someone
(10:49):
because maybe they knew something else or maybe I mean
number of possible reasons, and I suspect in this case
Rhode Island. The authorities had some sense that the individual
might have been involved because they said person of interest.
But person of interest is just that there are levels
of this. Somebody's arrested, then there's a suspect. A suspect
(11:13):
is somebody suspected but not yet arrested, and then there's
a person of interest, somebody who may or may not
be of interest. Five six, Still, and again I'm doing
this podcast rheight around noon on Monday. They still have
a story up about the police crawling all over the
person's home in Cedarberg. Well, that story was relevant a
(11:34):
day and a half ago. But put yourself in the
other guy's shoes, or put yourself in this family shoes.
Let's imagine, and again maybe it will turn out there
is some connection involving this guy. But normally speaking, if
you have a killing and they let the person and
we've seen this in any number of other cases, you've
got a murder case or some sort of sexual assault
(11:56):
or something, somebody will be taken into custody and question
about something going to turn They had an alibi, they
didn't do it. That happens all the time in this
day and age of hyper focused on certain news stories.
(12:16):
All the rules that they put in place for anything else.
I mean, just follow a local story in which some
drunk driver causes a fatal accident. They'll arrest them on
the scene. It usually takes like thirty six to forty
eight hours before they're arrested. They're never named for that
when it's obvious they're the ones. This is the drunk
theory is driving the car. There's the fatal life. They
don't name the person. Now I'll be one hundred percent
(12:45):
honest with you about this. My last podcast was on Thursday.
Today is Monday. This Brown University thing happened in between.
Let's imagine it happened the day before. Say it was
Wednesday of last week, and I came on Thursday and
everybody was calling, and the person was named what I
have named. I I would like to think I wouldn't.
And again, I've always argued that you have to deal
(13:05):
with these things on a case by case basis. If
you arrest someone on the scene with a gun or,
as I said, a drunk driving case. So let's imagine
you have a public figure, a politician whose hands are
in the cookie jar. Do you have to wait until
the person is arrested in charge in order to name them?
(13:27):
Probably not, But in a certain situation like this, in
which there was no video identification, that suspect was dressed
in all black and so on, obviously there's reason for caution.
In the meantime, the way meeting, you know, the online
(13:47):
world works. They'll never expunge all the references to this
person and his family. I mean the local news. I
want to jass Online they're quoting classmates of the guy
(14:08):
describe well he's this, he's that. The other thing, the
kind of thing that you do when somebody has been
charged with like a mass murder or something. He wasn't
even arrested. Now I know a fair amount about the
way things like this go. When the police have somebody Okay,
this person did it, and they find them, they will
then arrest them. Being brought in for questioning is a
(14:32):
lower level. It's just they have questions. And again it
can be because while there's strong evidence, or it can
be because somebody gave us an anonymous tip anything the
other thing. Of course, in stories like this, when you
have the global media all over it, people will leak
(14:53):
within the you know you've got you had a university,
they're law enforced with the local law. Any number of
people could have been the ones who would have really
the name, or somebody saw the person be taking in
the custody. They talked about he was at a motel
or something or another. Well, yeah he's he's but that's right,
that's where he is. He went to school out there,
(15:15):
and again, as far as I know, he has not
done anything here. Normally, as I say, if I release somebody,
that means there's no connection at all, and again in
all the kinds of cases that are much lower profile,
that happens all the time. You have a murder, say
in Milwaukee, you're just the regular one of the murders
(15:36):
that a cursee in the inner city of Milwaukee. They'll
bring any number of people in, and in some cases
they may think that, okay, it fits the pattern of
this guy over here. They'll detain them and then they
check it out. Maybe they'll is there an alibi or
is something else? So they then arrest the other persons.
Let go now to a case in which there has
(16:04):
been an actual arrest, the Rob Reiner case. There have
been so many stories the last few years like this.
This is merely the rare one in which the person
the victim is extremely famous. I just think about it
in the local media, the number of cases of somebody
(16:28):
killing their parents or killing their grandparents. I'm sure this
has always happened, but boyle Boyle boy does it seem
to be extremely common. Rob Reiner, the famous director, actor
and so on, and his wife stabbed to death. His son,
who's not young, he's thirty four, has been arrested. His
(16:49):
name is Nick Reiner. Given the fact that this is
a public family. We know quite a bit about the background,
and in fact, ten years ago he had an interview.
Nick Reiner did and I think wrote a book or
a screenplay about his life, and he talked about how
he got all screwed up on drugs when he was
young and ended up living on the street and was
(17:11):
a miss. He's thirty two is his current age. But
eight or nine years ago he did the thing about
he's all messed up on drugs, he was out on
the street and so forth and so on. We don't
have a full accounting of what happened since. Did he
get wigged out on drugs as a lot of these
people do and get irrational, or was he having an
(17:35):
argument because they wouldn't give up. Who knows. But again,
this seems to happen all the time now, and again
I'm not when I say all the time. This type
of story is common. What is uncommon is that it's
someone of Rob Reiner and his wife, famous people who
are the victims. Here's another thing that seems to be
(17:56):
more common than ever the number of people who are schizophrenic,
seriously manic depressive, manic depressive, or have other serious mental problems.
In which they need to be on medication, but the
(18:17):
medication makes them really tired, so they are off their
meds and they live totally dysfunctional lives. And again, I
don't know if that's the case with regard to Nick Briner,
but boy, I go go back thirty or forty years ago,
there were a few people that you thought of like that,
(18:38):
and I'm sure a lot of people were not diagnosed
properly who we just thought were crazy or odd. What's
causing all of this? I think the big change that's
a curt Well, there's two things that have changed in
our society. Are FK juniors on the die thing, and
(19:02):
I think that that's a component to all sorts of things.
But the level of drug abuse that's going on in
our society and how potent some of these drugs are,
I'm just stuff the opinion. And again I'm just a lamban.
I think that this stuff can do serious damage to
your brain and you just get completely unwired. And whether
you're on the drugs or off, how badly screwed up
(19:24):
are you? Now? In this case, it may be much
simpler than that. Maybe he was asking for money and
the parents got fed up and he decided to lash
out and kill I don't know what an interesting career
Rob Reiner head boy. If you ask people what do
you most remember him for, you get a lot of
(19:44):
different answers. If I, off the top of your head
would be the first thing you would answer, meat head
and mall of the family, And I would say for
people that may be a little bit younger than that,
it's probably one of the many famous movies he directed.
I think a lot of people would say when Harry
met Sally, which he didn't start him, but he was
the director. He did a few Theo Good Men, he
did Princess Bride. I mean, the list goes on and
(20:06):
on and on, but he started. He started. He started
out as an actor and son of an extremely fam
in fact, just literally a long life himself, Carl Reiner,
who created the Dick van Dyke showing a lot of
other stuff, and Rob Reiner's his son. The other thing,
Rob Brander is a big time Hollywood lefty, but he
(20:28):
was one of those lefties that wasn't like he was
not an unhinged lefty. In fact, Rob Branner famously said,
and got some blowback from the left, that he felt
terrible about the Charlie Kirk assassination and was so moved
by Erica Kirk's statement. Rob Brainer was also the guy who,
after the Biden Trump debate, was famously quoted in the
(20:54):
media as being apoplectic as to how terribly Joe Biden
did and we have to do something about this, and
how the world he can't run for president. He's going
to get killed. Look, the guy's off his rocker, Rob Rider.
That roaldo of And again Paul said right away the
first thing he thinks of, it's all in the family.
It's funny because Rob Rainer, you know, he acted in
a few things. He was in Spinal Tap and all that,
(21:16):
but by far his career was to go on and
be a major film director and and writer. The details
are pretty clear in this case, and apparently the authorities
in Los Angeles they knew immediately that it was his son,
(21:36):
Nick Reiner. He was arrested like right after the thing.
They say they're holding him on four million dollars bond.
They are found in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday,
and more information on that. It's trickling out. As I say,
it's just bad weekend on so many fronts. There was
the slaughter in Australia Jewish individuals. There was a shooting
(22:02):
in Los Angeles of a rabbi. Hanukah began last night.
Some of the violence can be tied to bigotry. We
don't know the motivation necessarily. In Brown University, it might
(22:22):
just be another screwed up person and it's a school shooting.
We don't know the answer to that. All these reporters
were scurrying around Seedarburgh interviewing friends and families. Are the
guy who didn't do it? Are they still asking the
questions or have they moved on now knowing that they're
asking questions of people about somebody who didn't have anything
to do with squat, Let me move to a different
(22:48):
level of crime. The Hannah Dugan trial began again. We're
doing the podcast on Monday this morning in Milwaukee County
Circuit Court. I think the whether or not she's going
to be convicted or not depends entirely. I wouldn't say entirely,
mostly on who's on the jury, right. I mean, it
(23:08):
seems to me she's caught dead to rights. She's the
Milwaukee County Circuit judge who helped a guy who was
the subject of an ice worn get away. She hit him,
Ice came in with a warrant. She sends the ice
(23:29):
guys to the chief Judge's office. In the meantime, she
hides him in a library. There will be and again
the testimony's just beginning because they're doing the podcast. A
fellow judge is gonna describe some of the things that
Dugan did that should be testifying for the prosecution. That
clearly was an attempt to obstruct ice and obstruct is
(23:50):
just that obstruct beings interfered getting the way of screw
with an investigation. It's clear to me that she did it.
On the other hand, we have a huge segment in
this country that doesn't believe that people should be arrested
by ice, even people that are people who've committed crimes.
You see the media's references to all of this, none
(24:12):
of they make any reference at all to the crimes
that he committed here in the United States, aside from
the fact that he was here illegally. Now the trial
is in federal court in Milwaukee. That means the jury
pool comes from the region, not just Milwaukee County. If
it was a Milwaukee County only jury, in other words,
(24:33):
one that's probably almost all Democrats. Who knows how it
would turn out. We do know this, Hanna Dugan has hired.
She's got like thirty five I mean clearly they raise
money for her legal defense team because half the lawyers
in Southeast was considered defending her. The judge in the case,
Len Aedeman, is a big time lefty. There had been
(24:54):
indications prior to the trial that this would go to
a plea bargain, and it didn't. My guess is her
her lawyers were looking for a plea bargain in which
she pleaded guilty to virtually zip, and the federal prosecutors
didn't want to do that deal. There's also the chance
that they can still You can do a plea bargain
at any point up to the point that the jury
comes back of the verdict. There could still be one
(25:17):
depending on how the trial goes. If Dougan's lawyers think
that it looks bad for her, they may offer to
plead to something from her perspective. Again, the judge is
Lennada when he's a big time lefty. They may be
counting on that even if she's convicted, he won't sentence
her to anything, but it is a felony that she's
charged with, which I mean no longer being able to
(25:37):
be a judge, being dispired in the whole thing if
she's convicted. I have said that this case just screamed
out for a plea bargain in which Dugan would admit, resign,
and then knock at any jail time, because, as I say,
the evidence of her illegality is just obvious. I don't
(26:01):
even want to use Cedarburgh given what happened over the weekend.
If me, let's imagine the police there's somebody that's look,
they're looking for somebody that they think might have committed
a murderer, and they come over to my place and
it turns out that I'm hiding him and say that
he's not there. That's obstruction. It's what obstruction is not
to mention the fact that she's a judge and she's
being presented with a warrant, and then you just go,
(26:25):
it's this, it's all Trump derangement syndrome. First of all,
what did she think? First of all, the guy's facing charges.
At some point, he's gonna be in court unless he
flees back to Mexico. What did she think that ICE
was gonna after they centered on the ICE was going
to give up and drop the warrant? What was their
endgame on this? And I suspect it was just I'm
not going to cooperate with ICE. Who left is just
(26:47):
obsessed that ICE is the worst agency in the world. Furthermore,
one of the arguments that you've been getting from lefties
is well, I should only be focusing on the criminals
that have the illegal immigrants who've committed separate crimes. That's
what this guy was. The reason he was in Dugan's
(27:09):
court is because he's facing criminal charges for a violent
crime here. So what's the rationale the people that are
all protesting and defending Hinna Dugan. This is an illegal
immigrant who is accused you of committing other crimes while
here separate from his illegal status. How does he become
(27:29):
a poster child for anything. This isn't some hardworking restaurant
worker or hotel made It's an accused criminal. Now to
this story, I find his stupid criminal stories to be
amusing to me. Do you find these stories to be amusing? No,
(27:54):
it's a tragic story. But how the individual was arrested
extraordinary stuff. This is a I follow this story somewhat
because I was trying to find out whether or not
there was a connection to how the city of Milwaukee
has screwed up the street involved. There is no more
screwed up street in the United States of America than
(28:17):
Van Buren Street in Milwaukee. It's all been done by
the mayor, Cavalier Johnson. As I say, if you want
to just have a if you would like to explain
to your child how stupid liberals are, just make a
field trip to Milwaukee and drive up Van Buren Street
and show them this street. It used to be a
one way street that headed north, and it was paired
with Jackson Street, which is a one way street that
(28:38):
headed south. There's a lot of stuff on there, the
seven seventy seven apartment complexes there. It's also the street
that's the only real exit from I seven ninety four.
It's the where the freeway filt is into downtown Milwaukee.
You can go south on Jackson into the third ward
and north on Ben Buren to head toward the east
side of Milwaukee and the rest of downtow On and
(29:00):
so on. Anyway, they took out used to be two
lanes in each direction. They took out one of the
lanes that put in these concrete medians to create a
lane for buses and the scooters, so the concrete median
is actually in the street. So now you have just
(29:22):
one lane in each direction and cars that have to
turn one way, plus an extremely busy street the Amazon
and ups trucks that have to do the deliveries. There
are people who when they make right turns that end
up driving into the into the bicycle lane because they
don't realize they have to go all the way to
the middle of the street because there's this hunk of
(29:42):
concrete out there. Then they put up these little sticks
in the middle of the street to separate the two lanes,
and now they've made it two ways. It's just it's
a mess beyond belief. And anybody with any sanity does
everything in their power, and I'll go out of their
way just to avoid going on Van Buren. I mean,
I sware you can get off that thing on the
freeway end. If you were trying to get say, up
(30:02):
to Brady Street, it's possible. You would never in your
lifetime make it. That's how badly they screwed up the street. Anyway,
this incident occurred there there was I don't in the
story I read, it didn't indicate the ride sharing service.
I'm sure it was either Uber or a lyft, but
there was in I'm looking here and see if I
can see it. Well, let's just call it a rideshair driver.
(30:26):
The driver was evidently doing either a drop off or
pick up at the corner of Van Buren and Juno.
This is a really busy well, all this corners on
Van Buren are really really busy. There's apartment building on
one side, there's a subway over there. It's across the
(30:46):
street from the Metro Market, which is a big grocery store.
There's a new apartment complex called Nova that's up on
that street. It's just really really busy. And as I say,
the street is screwed up and there's not a lot
of room for drop offs. Anyway, somebody was either being
picked up or dropped off on a ride sharing service.
(31:10):
And while that happened, a Nissan SUV came plowing down
the street and hit the vehicle, seriously injuring the driver.
The driver for either Uber or Lyft. So if you
can visualize this. You know, the driver's on the left
(31:31):
side of the vehicle. Somebody's plowing through, so the car
was hit on the driver's side, which would make sense
as the person's working their way through what's left of
the driving lane. So again, I've been following this story
to see whether or not I can blame it on
the street construction, because they've done all of this supposedly
to make things safer. But I haven't seen video of it.
There's video everywhere downtown Milwaukee, but I haven't seen video
(31:51):
of it. In any event, that's not the part of
the story that we're focusing on. The driver of the
Nissan left the scene. They've caught her. Do you read
how they caught her? Well, no, again, put yourself in
(32:15):
the other guy's shoes. And I'm sure everybody who's just
caused an accident when they're on the run, there is
a temptation to run. Most people don't. Bad people do.
The people who run also tend to be people who
may be drunk obviously, people in stolen vehicles and so on.
In some cases, maybe you're none of that and you're
just panic. But if it's legitimately an accident, you'd stay
(32:36):
on the scene. In any event, the vehicle ran and
the authorities had something of a description of it. And
again there's cameras all over the place down there, and
there was some video the captured. If nothing to identify
a license plate or anything like this, all they knew
for sure is that it was a Nissan Suv. Now
you should call up your son in law who's a cop,
(32:58):
because he would kill you. Ho cop investigate cases like this.
You you don't know anything about anything. Do you imagine
if well, as I said, the camera only came up
with nies On Suv, not anything beyond that, and they
can track you through others all But as I say,
all they had was nie on Suv because that isn't
they were just they just know it was a nie
(33:19):
On Suv. Beyond niss On suv and you didn't have
a license plate, what would you do? And I'll admit
the things that they do are rather clever and creative
and not everything anymore can be. This is not even
really CSI stuff. It's more like go to old fashioned
investigative stuff, talk to witnesses. They did that, and as
(33:43):
I said, where this is no matter what or they again,
people saw all of it. What they didn't have was
a license plate. They didn't have that, so they don't
know who the driver of the vehicle is. And the
vehicle was gone. Yeah they no, they didn't have a name.
They know who was hit, but the driver of the
vehicle was gone, and they didn't know there's a violent crash.
Though they didn't know much of anything else. That they
(34:03):
did have, as I say, video surveillance, so they could
see the vehicle moving along and so on. But the
driver did get away. They as I did, they did
all the tracking to the cameras until there's no long
until there's no longer any camera, until there's no longer
any sign of the vehicle. Here's what they did. Now,
(34:29):
whether or not this was a tip or whether or
not they simply looked for all of them. Would you
believe that the driver put it an insurance claim for
the repair. I Now, let's imagine you just caused a
terrible crash by striking into someone. Your car's banged up,
so probably you want to get it fixed. On the
(34:50):
other hand, one of the things that they do always
in cases like this is they look to contact all
the body shops. If you had a nieside SUV that
comes in In this instance, they found out because there
was an insurance claim that was filed on behalf of
the vehicle. So they went back and indeed they tracked
the insurance claim back to the vehicle. It's an EISTS
on suv. The damage is exactly where the damage would
(35:12):
be on this car. Is this cheap skatedness or stupidity? Stupidity? Well,
I mean, you know, if you don't prepare in an
insurance claim, you gotta pay for the whole thing yourself, right,
wouldn't you just kind of think that if you're trying
to cover this up, you wouldn't tell, you know, you
wouldn't tell your insurance company and create the most blatant
(35:35):
paper trail imaginable. I mean, I'm thinking, somehow find a
Junkyard dealer that's gonna take it on the sly and
just get rid of the whole thing whatsoever. Or you
can't even report it stolen because they'll ask you what
it is and you say Nissan Suv. I wait a minute, Well,
(35:57):
was a woman charge here? Her name is Jenny Fisher Jay.
I'm sure that's a common name. She's twenty four and
New Berlin was the address list the twenty four year
old Jenny Fisher. I checked her LinkedIn. She is a
hostess at a downtown restaurant and a couple of other
things which she's the suspect. Voting for the story on
FOXIX and again cases very very serious. As of December tenth,
(36:18):
just a few days ago, court filing said the victim's
family told police that the victim was in a coma
and his condition it was worsening. He had two surgeries,
one of which removed part of his skull to release
swelling and pressure on his brain. The criminal complaints of
the victim's white Nissan was parked on and me have
misread a portion of this I did. It was a
(36:38):
Jeep compass, was the striking vehicle that was the tip
off on this of the insurance camecome of the driver
had a Jeep compass. The white Nissan was being driven
by the bride sharing driver, So it was a Jeep
Compass that they were driving, and that's what it was
that they were looking for. So they were looking for
a Jeep compass. And it was estimated from the video
to beating a twenty eighteen into a twenty twenty and
(37:04):
it said that the damage on the vehicle was consistent
with it having been sideswiped. Surveillance video from a nearby
building showed the victim's Nissan park facing southbound on the
west side of Edburen Street. The hazard lights came on,
the victim got out of the driver's seat and a
passenger got out of the back seat. Now, why would
the driver have been getting out, And this is just
(37:24):
it's just one of the unfortunate. The passenger must have
been coming from the airport or somewhere because they had
baggage in the trunk. And often, I know, not always
most of the time, if I'm coming from the airport
or something, if i have an uber sometimes if the
car has the button that they pushed to raise the
Khan trunk, I'll just go grab the bag. I don't
need him to do it. But sometimes the driver is
(37:46):
just proactive that they want to go and take the
bag out. This driver was getting out, So the driver's
getting out now of the driver's side, and that's when
the driver was drilled. Drilled. They walked to the trunk
and grab baggage. At that point, Court filing said an
SUV was seen speeding south butt of Van Buaen with
no tail lights on. Now I don't know if there
(38:07):
were no headlights on, but the camera only captured the
vehicle from behind it. It showed no tail lights on.
The suv struck the victim and the Nissan, and it
kept driving until it was out of the view of
the camera. The passenger said the victim was his ride
share driver. Prosecutor said video from before the crash captured
the same jeep driving with no front end damage. So
(38:27):
they had earlier video no damage in the front end.
Now they see the impact. So they're out there and
they're trying to track down where the jeep who had
the jeep compass. Police reached out to the National Insurance
Crime Bureau. I didn't know there was such a thing,
but there is. Would you believe in the National Insurance
Crime Bureau tracks all the reports. When you know, when
(38:49):
an insurance company gets a claim for autobody damage, that
gets into some database, and the National Crime Bureau has
this database just in case somebody is going to be
looking out for vehicle that may have been damaged. Otherwise,
for all I know, if the person comes into the
body shop, they could have just said my car was
side swipe. They contacted the National Insurance Crime Bureau for
(39:11):
a list of insurance claims for twenty seventeen to twenty
five jeep compasses in Wisconsin in Illinois, so all the
cheap compasses for which there was an insurance claim that
was put in during that period of time. They put
out a search for court filing said they found a
claim on a twenty eighteen jeep compass that was that
was made in December third, two days after the crash,
and got a VIN number. Now I think that's good
(39:33):
police work, don't you. It is also beyond me as too.
You take the courage and you put in an insurance
claim on it. The UH story says that the police
then contacted this woman, Jenny Fisher. In the police report.
(39:55):
The complaint said that Fisher wrote, I was at work
and this is this is apparently what you put in
for sure when she made the report for the insurance,
I was at work and when I left and got
to my front got to my car, the front right
side was smashed, windshield crushed, and the mirror broken. That
actually happened to me in a vehicle of mine a
number of years ago. But I caused the damage. I
(40:17):
in fact, it was on the street like that, I
SWI sidesweped somebody. It just it was my fault. It
was one of those cases of there was one of
those big box trucks that was kind of parked on
a little bit into the lane. I thought I was clear,
and I wasn't, and I smacked the mirror off on
the side and scraped the side of the whole thing.
And I said, I did it well. She claimed, this
is what happened to her, only somebody sideswiped her, whereas
in fact she's speeding down Van Buren and caused this
(40:39):
wreckand badly injured someone. Under the value she put twenty
five hundred dollars in under property. She wrote, my literal car.
There's something about this generation and the use of the
word literal literally. Why did they put the word literally
in every sentence? They ever use? My literal car? She wrote,
(41:03):
They all say it that way. She actually wrote it. Seriously,
you watch any of these YouTube videos they say literally
all the time. Do your daughter say literally in every sentence?
Did they try to when they were eleven and you
got them out of that, or did they just never
They used to say like a lot, and you train
them not to like everything well, you know, like you know,
(41:25):
that goes back to my era though, I mean I
remember a lot of kids would say, like, you know,
they would just throw the word lake in gratuitously, but
literally is thrown in literally all the time. Literally. She
wrote it in her thing, my literal car as supposed
to watch your car described it as a twenty eighteen
Jeep Compass with damage to the right side. Okay, so
(41:48):
the police see this might be it. Police noted all
the streets that the suspects jeep was seen driving on
were two way streets, meaning the jeep would not have
its right side of exposed to the street to be
damaged to a crash. However, right side damage would be
consistent with the crash that seriously injured the victim. In
other words, her point was is that she claimed that
the right side of the vehicle was damaged when it
(42:10):
was side slight. But normally your right side on a
two way street, it would be parked so that the
right side is next to the curb and the sidewalk
and not to the road. All right, So they've got
the video of the vehicle, they see all this and
putting two and two together. The complaint said. Surveillance video
from Fisher's address said showed she entered an underground parking
(42:32):
structure immediately after the crash in her jeep had significant
damage to the front passenger side corner. The video clearly
showed the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle.
Court filing said initial video from the building showed the
driver getting out of the jeep and having difficulty walking,
her body bumping into both sides of a staircase. Now,
obviously they're putting all of that in because they're going
to be they're suggesting perhaps that there may have been
(42:53):
a level of intoxication. That will be a difficult thing
to prove unless they go back and they can track
her whereabouts and her movement before and earlier that night.
And I'm sure they're going to attempt to do that,
But it would be an explanation if there was an
impairment as to why she would have left the scene,
in addition to the fact that she must have been
at fault. It it's very very possible that, as I said,
(43:14):
mentioning what's going on with that street and how narrowood is,
that it might have simply been an accident. If the
ride share driver was kind of parked into the lane
end the person couldn't stop. But according to the video,
the driver was going at a really high rate of speed.
And as I said, if you just try to drive
down Vima, I don't even if there's no traffic, it's
almost impossible to go out a high rate of speed
(43:36):
on that street because the street is it's the closest
thing to like those mazes that they have the rats
run around in and the science experiments. So again, tragic accident,
but they've caught the woman involved in Who knows if
they would have caught her if she hadn't put in
the insurance claim. Pause it literally, I mean she wrote
(43:58):
the word literally literal. Who she actually wrote literal? Well,
then they've got the mug shot and she looks stone.
But I if they ever do a mugshot of me,
I'm just gonna focus on, you know, like you know
who understood the mugshot? Trump? Trump knows this mugshot's gonna
be the most famous mugshot of all time. I'm gonna
(44:20):
steer into this thing looking so damned defiant. Trump turned
his mug shot into a campaign poster. See, you got
to know a goof like you if you ever do
any you gotta think about that if you did, say
just I don't know how you're supposed to look, but
try to look as normal as possible. You well, don't smile,
I mean, don't smile, don't look sad. I mean, if
(44:40):
you have a blank stare, they're gonna say a blank stare.
I don't know how it is that you're supposed to
pull this off, but I mean, like, don't have droopy
eyes and don't le look like you're smashed or something
like that. Mugshot strategies being offered here on the Marketing Podcast.
I guess just a very very bad weekend on the
news and some of these stories truly terrible. When we
(45:08):
come back in the next segment, I'm seeing some positive
developments in a couple of really and this whole is
the world going crazy? Is our nation going crazy? There's
bad news everywhere, but you can find signs and I
(45:30):
have some of them and they're good coming up at
a moment on the Mark Belling Podcast. This is the
Mark Belling Podcast. If you take a look at what's
going on politically all over the world in the nations
(45:50):
that still have elections, and I don't even know what
percentage that is. Obviously some countries have sham elections, but
in the countries that have elections, even the country there
is that have moved to the fire left. We our
Marxist all over the place. You see the political organizations
and candidates from the right prevailing. There was an election
(46:13):
over the weekend in Chile. The Marxists were voted out
and the conservative they call them rightist. That's late one.
This mirror is what happened a couple of years ago
in Argentina, which had been socialist forever, where a conservative
candidate won his slate of candidates was then prevailed in
(46:35):
the most recent elections a few months ago. There are
still clearly Baska cases in South America. Brazil is borderline Marxist,
Venezuela is Marxist. There are a couple of other countries
on tilt, but in the countries in which elections have occurred,
the trend in South America seems to be a bounce
back from that. Now it's easy for me to explain
(46:56):
that most of South America has been at least social,
if not out and out Marxist, for years it's been
a disaster. And when something becomes a disaster after years,
if you still have the ability to vote, there can
be a bounce back from people. We can't have any
more of this. In the meantime, public opinion polls in
(47:19):
the following three European countries right now all show the
rightest political party in the lead. Now, there is a
complicating factor in Europe. In most countries in Europe there's
more than one party. There can be two, three, four
or even five, and in order to form of government,
the party that wins has to try to form a
(47:41):
coalition with other components. So when I say lead, in
some cases in Europe, leading might not be fifty percent.
It just means leading. But of the following countries, the
rightest political party is in the lead in the UK, France,
and this is the one that's really notable Germany. Germany's
had a conservative movement for some time, but it's been
(48:02):
on the fringe. The conservative movement in France has been stronger,
it's never fully prevailed. That's the one that's been led
by Marine La penn In all three countries right now,
the political polls show a sentiment leaning towards the RTIs.
Now I know why this is. There is a disaster
in Europe with terrorism being committed and violence being committed
(48:27):
by Muslims who are residents of those countries. There's a
total rebellion against and a pushback against the open border
policies that's been in place in that country that is
threatening their culture, and now it's just turned to out
and out violence. There have been attacks in numerous countries,
(48:48):
not only un Jewish people as Hanukkah was beginning, but
we're in the Christmas season and aimed at Christians, and
the overwhelming majority of them seems to be coming from Muslims.
The open borders that has occurred in Europe as creating
a significant backlash. So in any event, I'm just noting
(49:10):
that I mentioned South America with Chile after Argentina, Brazil
is going to be the biggest. Whatever way Brazil goes
in the next few years determines the fate of South
America because Brazil is so big and so dominant, and
now in Europe there's clearly a backlash against this nightmare
that's occurred, with huge segments of the population being Muslims
(49:32):
who have chosen not to assimilate to the French culture
or the British culture, of the German culture, but have
just decided that they want to import their own culture
and their own beliefs, which is a complete lack of
respect at all for anyone who has a different religious
belief at all. In the meantime, in the United States,
(49:53):
we obviously have a countervailing tread. We don't know long
term which one is going to win. The twenty twenty
four our election showed a significant turn to the right
in the United States. You can call it simply Trump
or you can ascribe it to Maga. I don't think
we'll know until twenty twenty eight which of the two
it is. Was the twenty twenty four victory simply Trump
(50:16):
sweeping in lots of other Republicans and was the mega
movement nothing more than simply Trump or was it an
ideological shift to the right that dragged trump alog people
have two theories. There are two competing theories. One, Trump's
driving all of this and other Republicans were dragged in
because of the popularity of Trump. The flip side of
(50:38):
this is the ideas of Trump are taking sway and
Trump won despite the fact that he polarizes and antagonizes
a segment of the people who voted for him don't know.
That was only a year ago, and just one year later,
it appears as though the trend everywhere is toward Marxism.
You not only have an out no Marxist getting a
(51:00):
elected mayor of New York, you had the congressional race
in Tennessee where quasi Marxis got forty six percent of
the vote in a Tennessee congression, didn't win, but ran
better than the Democrat would normally run. Most people believe
that twenty twenty six is going to be a blood
bath for the Republicans. It was only a year ago
(51:20):
after Trump's win that you saw all of these analysts,
including many of the Democratic sides, saying, we've got to
reject this AOC stuff. We've got to go back to
being more moderate Democrats, that this embrace of all this
radical stuff, that trans stuff and so on is poisoned
to us. The embrace of open borders has been poisoned
to us. But only a year later, the Democrats are
(51:40):
hell bent on moving even farther to the left, and
they think that's the way that they can win by
simply going all out Marxists. The twenty sixth election will
not answer the question. The one in twenty eight will
Why Well, first of all, Trump won't be on the ballot,
whether it be Vans or Marjorie Taylor Green or Rubio,
whoever it is, there'll be another Republican running for president.
(52:02):
They'll probably be running out a platform pretty similar to
the general notion of MAGA and the Democratic candidate I
think for very very likely be especially if they win
big in twenty six it'll be a quasi Marxist that
they run on their side. And then we'll see, we'll
see whether or not this was just a one off
on Trump won in twenty twenty four, or if it's
a longer term trend in the United States away from
(52:23):
the radical vision of the Democratic Party. Usually, though, what
happens in the United States is reflected in the broader world,
and there is a movement to the right in a
number of countries in the Western world. And when we
say western, always wondered that whole western because it is
at Western hemisphere. But for example, you know, the western
(52:47):
portion of Europe is considered the Western world. South America
is considered the Western world. But like Russia's not the
Western world. China's not the Western world anyway. And now
this story. I have commented forever on the Republicans who
(53:11):
don't fight. It's been a problem in Wisconsin, it's a
problem everywhere. One of the things that I think attracted
many Republicans to Trump back in sixteen and again in
twenty four, what it appeared as though he was politically
dead in twenty two and twenty three, how he resurrected
himself among Republican voters. Whether you like Trump or not,
(53:37):
everyone will acknowledge she's a fighter. It's why the left
hates him. Trump fights. Some people believe that he fights
too hard, and he fights that he doesn't need to fight.
But Trump's a fighter, and I think most Republicans are not,
which brings us to this whole battle in the United
States of a redistricting all over the country, Democrats that
(54:01):
have not already jurymandered themselves so that their districts are
disproportionately Democrat are moving to do so, like California, where
Gavin Newsom of the California Democrats are going to redraw
the congressional districts to try to add a number of
Democratic districts that are currently Republican, which of course you
can do by finagling with where the district lights are
(54:22):
in Texas. However, Republicans tried to do the same thing
and a judge struck it down, which brings us to Indiana.
Indiana is an extremely republican state. About the only part
of Indiana that's not Republican is some areas of the
city of Indianapolis. But even as the big cities go,
Indianapolis is the less. They're all Democrat, but Indianapolis is
(54:48):
one of the least liberal of the big cities. It's
still liberal, but you know, think of not Seattle or
San Franciscocia, Cargo or anything like that. So Indiana is
and then there's a couple of college towns in the
Lee democratic, but otherwise India is very republican, very Trump
had a massive percentage when he carried the state. The
(55:10):
Indiana legislature. Legislative leaders had a bill to withdraw the
congressional districts in Indiana to make them more republican. They
were going to try to make it nine to zero,
in other words, draw the districts so that there would
be a Republican majority in each of them. Trump has
been pushing this because, as I mentioned, across the United States,
(55:31):
most Democrat states are drawn that way right now to
favor the Democrats. Illinois is an extreme example. You've got
states that are like fifty three forty seven Democrat in
which the House districts are ninety percent Democrat districts, and
Trump has been encouraging the Republicans to fight back. In Texas,
it was struck down. I think the United States Supreme
(55:53):
Court is going to overturn that striking down nonetheless was
struck down. But in Indiana, the Republican controlled the state
Senate refused to withdraw the districts. Now, you may ask
yourself trying to remember. I gave a speech last week
and I made a bullet point at the end of
US something, and I can't remember if I also made
(56:14):
it on the podcast. Anyway, I'll make this point now
because it's going to relate I talk about. I think
I did say it on the podcast. You'll see, for example,
federal judges striking down something Trump wants to do, and
they'll say, well, two of the judges are Republican appointed judges,
and the point that I made is Republican appointed judges
are not necessarily going to rule in favor of Trump.
(56:35):
Some of those Republican judges are Bush appointed judges. Did
I make that point? I did? I did, and I
made it again in the speech, and I made kind
of a big deal and try to explain that the
old version of the Republican Party hates Trump, you know,
the Bush Cheney wing. They hate Trump as much as
not maybe as much, but close to as much as
(56:56):
the lefties do. All right, Indiana, the most powerful Republican
in Indiana up to about four or five years ago
was who and for many years Pence. Pence was the
extremely popular Republican governor of Indiana. When Trump plucked him
(57:17):
out in sixteen to be his vice presidential running mate,
the Pence influence remains strong. It's like, I don't want
to compare the two as being ideologically the same, but
it's not. But there's still a huge Walker influence here
in Wisconsin. Now, Walker's not overtly anti Trump, and he
hasn't done anything to obstruct Trump or try to keep
his finger in the pod in Wisconsin to be anti
(57:39):
Trump or anything like that. But Pence, obviously in Indiana
has and it's been described that many of the members
of some of the Republicans who voted against the remap
are very loyal to Mike Pence and therefore hate Trump.
So they're not going to redraw the districts in Indiana.
So what you have here is the Democrats are willing
to jurymander their states, but Republicans are not willing to
(58:00):
juryman to their own. I bring that story up because
I picked up on the following little item. The latest
Democrat to run for governor is Joel Brennan. He's the
head of the Greater Milwaukee Committee. There was a thought
that he was going to try to run as a
moderate Democrat. Well that's what he'll do if he wins
(58:21):
the nomination in the general election. But in order to
win the primary, he's got to put out his radical
bona fides and to give a big in everyone. One
of the comments that he made is Wisconsin should absolutely
redraw its congressional maps. Wisconsin has eight US House seats,
six are Republican. The Democrats are frosted over this because
we're a fifty to fifty state Wisconsin, but six of
(58:43):
the eight districts are Republican. Now why are they well,
Here's why. Let's imagine you were trying to draw a
map of the districts of Wisconsin. There are only two
pockets of this state that are predominantly well two and
an asterisk. Two pockets of the state overwhelming the Democrat
are Milwaukee County and Dane County. There is one addition,
(59:05):
it just doesn't have a lot of people, and that's
the area's right up bordering Lake Superior. For some reason,
it might be the Minnesota influenced their Democrat but just
the very top of the state. Otherwise, the Democrats in
Wiscon I mean, Dane County is seventy five to eighty
percent democratic, Milwaukee County is like sixty seven percent. The
(59:27):
whole rest of the state is predominantly Republican. It's hard
to draw a congressional district in which you're not going
to have six of the atistics being Republican because the
Democrats are all packed into two areas. How, for example,
do you draw a district in northern Wisconsin that isn't
Republican dominated. How do you draw a district, say Walkeshaw
(59:49):
Washington County, you know the area that's Scott Fitzgeral District.
How do you draw that district that it's not predominantly Democratic.
So that's the reason that it's six to two right now.
But Joel Brennan and the Demo Pocrats are saying they
want to redraw the districts to make it at least
four to four. You know, the way that you would
do that is you'd have to carve up Milwaukee and
carve up Madison and put them into two of the
(01:00:12):
other districts. I'll try to explain this. You can visualize
Paul lives in Ozaki County bordering Washington County. You could
take the district that's currently Gwen Moore's district and move
its dividing line north to say I ninety four northward,
and then go and grab in Ozaki County and Washington County,
(01:00:34):
and the pure numbers of Milwaukee County would overwhelm it,
and you could create a fifty two to forty eight
Democratic district by putting the north side of Milwaukee into
a good chunk of the suburbs. Then you've got the
district in the southeastern corner of the state representative by
Brian style that's currently southern Milwaukee southern Waka Shore. We're
Sin in Kenosha Counties and Walworth and a chunk of rock.
(01:00:58):
You could redraw that district and Walworth out of it,
and move Western Racine in western Kenosha County, which are
very Republican, out of it, and assign it to another district,
and now you've suddenly got a Democrat majority district. You'd
have to finagle around and draw really goofy lines in
order to do it. But Joel Brennan saying, that's what
we got to know. We have to do this. We
(01:01:19):
have to make these districts more democratic. So you have
at the same time, the Democrats are out no campaigning
on redrawing the districts. Republicans in some state refusing to
do it. It's simply a function of not being willing
to fight as hard as the other side. I have
a good quote on this, it's from Nate Morris. There
(01:01:43):
are people listening to me who know who that is.
They either live in Kentucky or they're even bigger political
junkies than I am, Because I admit I never heard
of Nate Morris. Nate Morris is running for the United
States Senate. It might be the state Senate. I actually
don't know he's running for the Senate in the state
of Kentucky. Again. He might be running for the I
(01:02:04):
think he's running for the US Senate seat. He's running
for Mitch McConnell's seat, Mitch McConnell leaving the Senate. I
think he's one of the Republicans running in the primary
for that. Here's Nate Morris's quote, as posted on X
whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blue slips. Let me explain.
You know what a blue slip is. A blue slip is.
(01:02:29):
Let's imagine President Trump nominates a federal judge for say,
we'll say eastern Wisconsin. All you need to do to
stop a vote on that is one senator puts in
what's called a blue slip saying I want to block this,
and the Senate generally honors the blue slip. Well, they're
(01:02:51):
at drawing blue slips right and left. In the end,
you could force a vote on these things that you
can get them through. But what the Democrats are trying
to do is run out the clock on Trump. There's
only three years left and they're holding up his nominees
all over the place. The reason Trump's been naming all
of these interim, the United States attorneys in interim. This
is because he can't get votes in the Senate because
(01:03:11):
you've got these blue slips being issued. So that's the
body's what the Republican in Kentucky is referring to. So
I'll go back and read the whole quote. Whether it's redistricting,
the filibuster, or blue slips. The biggest problem our movement faces.
And again this guy's a Republican. The biggest problem are
movement faces. Now i'll finish the sentence. What's the biggest
(01:03:33):
problem the call it mega or conservative or America first
movement faces? What's the biggest problem in faces? I agree
with him on this. What do you think the biggest
problem the conservative movement broadly speaking? Faces? I think there's two,
but there's one that's the biggest. You want to try
to jump in on it, well, Pauls's he does, so
(01:04:00):
then I'll tell you I think the number two problem
and it's huge, But this one even bigger is the
disunity right now, you know, everybody fighting with one another
over power. The Marjorie Taylor Green's mad at Trump, Trump's
mad at her. You know, Candice Owens is mad at
Erica Kirk. By the way, they're having a meeting. They're
gonna try to resolve this. There's just a lot of infighting.
(01:04:20):
That's number two. But the bigger problem is, and I
agree with Nate Morris, this guy from Kentucky on this,
the biggest problem I may move in faces today is
that too many elected Republicans simply do not understand that
we are in a street fight for the fate of
Western civilization. That's it. The left has gone Marxist and
(01:04:44):
TIFA is committing violence all over. People like Charlie Kirk
are killed in Lefty's chair. They tried to kill Trump twice.
Somalis are stealing money openly in Minnesota, and the Democrats
(01:05:05):
were providing cover because they were giving them their votes.
So I'm going to read his quote again, whether it's redistricting,
the filibuster, and here he's referencing, you know, the philibuster
is there forever. The filibuster is the thing in the
United States Senate says you need sixty votes in order
to end debate. So the Democrats just if you don't
(01:05:26):
have sixty votes for an issue, they can hold it
up forever and ever and ever. It's been used for
the longest time, but never to the extreme that we
have right now, where the Democrats and you have said,
simply don't want to let the Republicans vote on anything.
They know that probably they'll be back in control of
the Senate in a year now after the November elections,
so they're trying to run off the clock. So again,
(01:05:46):
this guy's saying, look, if they're going to jerrymander the
districts and Democratic states, we've got to do it in
Republican states. They're saying, look, we got to end the
philibuster because they're abusing it. And then with regard to
the blue slips, you've got to end the blue slip
practice because Trump can't get his nominees through. So again,
whether it's redistricting, the filibuster, or blueslips, the biggest problem
our movement faces today is that too many elected Republicans
(01:06:08):
simply do not understand that we are on a street
fight for the fate of Western civilization. They are living
in a fantasy world that hasn't existed in decades. This
isn't nineteen eighty five anymore. So spear me your bs
excuses about why we can't execute President Prompt's agenda in Congress.
We absolutely can, but only if Republicans grow a spine
(01:06:30):
for once. The stakes here are just too high. I
agree with you. Back to positive news. This is something
that this is one of those stories that apparently well,
(01:06:52):
I mean, this sounds a stupid way of saying it,
but I'll explain. You either knew about it or you didn't. Well,
that's true of everything. But it's one of those things that, like,
so people know everything about it, but the vast majority
of people didn't know anything about it at all. It's
kind that's the kind of story like that the mainstream
media doesn't really cover. And I was not aware of it.
Then somebody told me about it. Now I am aware
(01:07:13):
of it, and now all of you who listen to
me will become aware of it. Take a guess where
I fault. You don't even know what the story is.
Take a get well, I had to find out about
it somewhere. It's not like I do a lot of things,
so you can like limit where I would find out
about something. I mean, what do I even do? Put
your back? I could have been a Bucks game, There's that.
(01:07:34):
What else do I do? I go to I gave
a speech up north. I go to Florida, I go
to church. What else do I do? I get a
fish fry. Paul, you just wiped out. I bet at horses.
I come here, You're right, I come here. I mean
I got some doctor's appointments. I see like a dentist.
I've had detal work. I mean, it's not like I
(01:07:56):
do nothing, but I think the number of things I
do is less than ten. So what do you think
I fought on about this doctor's office. That's wrong, But
that's that that could have been in. Somebody at church
told me. Somebody of the generation would know about those things.
(01:08:16):
She said to me, do you know about Nicki Minaj
going after Gavin Newsom? A lot of times people will
say do you know about? And it's never anything that
I want to hear about. You can just you probably
even got never somebody tries to tell you about some
obscure zoning issue you know in Yeah, well, okay, she
said you know about Nicki Minaj and Gavin Neussom admitted
you'd be interested in hearing about this too, right, Yeah,
(01:08:40):
why I was? Nicki Minaj is a rapper and a
very see the whole thing that's being a rapper is
if you're a rapper, you have to do everything you
can to be get draw attention to yourself. Right, Well
that's from the beginning. Rappers have never relied simply on
their music as being sufficient to draw tention to themselves
(01:09:00):
their entire lives. That, well, she's one of them. So
I just I'm just you would just assume she'd be
another left wing flacoh weirdo psychotic nut, right, yes, yes,
I mean you do you know more about this than
I did? Then see you a huge story. But that's
(01:09:21):
my point. It's a huge story if you know about it,
but if you don't know about it, and I was
not okay anyway. The first part of the story is
several weeks ago, after Pope Leo drew attention to the
fate of Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria, Nicki Minaj smoke out.
I think she retweeted or reposted on X the Pope's
(01:09:42):
comment there's a new one now. And this is the
thing that I didn't know. Nicki Minaj is going after
Gavin Newsome, the governor of California. First of all, I
can tell by her comments she's very smart, because her
rips on him are pretty hilarious. Gavin Newsom, as you
(01:10:04):
probably know, governor of California. He's going to run for president,
and this is the trick that all Democrats have. Is
to get the Democratic nomination, he has to move to
the left because the majority of the party's voters are
Wackle Marxist lunatics. But to win the general election, he
has to try to reposition himself to the center. But
Newsom is better at that than most. I mean, he's
(01:10:26):
full of crap and the stateium runs as a disaster,
but I admit he's one of the few. He's not
a Kamala who can't put two sentences together. He's like
the opposite. He's way too smooth. He's just a BS artist.
He's like in a different way. Clinton. Clinton was as
smooth as could be. You know, he was the awe
shocks with you know, the manure on his feet kind
(01:10:46):
of thing. And Newsom's a different kind of smooth. He's
a California that's what he is. I mean, I used
to think everything in California was like that, But think
Kamala Cameroon and she would be She's in California. But
she would be like the opposite of smooth. So I'm
gonna quote from a story. So after I was tipped
off about this, I did a Google search and I
(01:11:06):
found some of the pieces that were out there, including
some comment this is newsome. Now he was on the
Ezra Klein Show Wednesday of last week, five days and
again I'm doing the podcast on Monday. This is what
he said, this is newsome. I want to see trans kids.
He's actering, he wants to see more trans kids. I
(01:11:29):
don't know that I've ever heard a Democrat actually say
we need more of them. I've heard some of them
say we need to support the ones that are. I
want to see trans kids. There's no governor that's done
more pro trans legislation than I have. No one has
been a stronger advocate for the LGBT community. So Nicki
Minaj hears about this and share retorts. Imagine being the
(01:11:55):
guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha, Not
even a trans adult would run on. That's a good shot.
Nicky Vanas says, even a trans grown up would not
say I want to see more trans kids, or at
least you would not use that as your platform. I
want to see more trans kids. I want to slice
(01:12:16):
off more bobs. I want to jam hormones on every
kid walking down the street. So anyway, Nicki Minaj, not
even a trans adult would run on that. Normal adults
wake up and think they want to see heal health.
I said, let me see it again. Normal adults wake
up and think they want to see healthy, safe, happy kids,
(01:12:38):
not gay. The gav Knots gave out send in the
next guy, I'm bored. See you know that's a rapper
kind of thing. I'm bored. That means she's dismissive of him.
Knwsom then responded, and there was a back and forth
and so on a no quote. The back and forth
between minajah Newsom came after Elon Musk's America Pack posted
(01:13:00):
a video of nuisance trans comments. So this comment that
news made on the Ezra Klein Show what he wanted
to see more trans kids. Elon Musk then reposted it
and got it out there, and that's probably how it
got onto the radar screen of Nicki Minaj And I mean,
I know that's what happens with a lot of things.
I'll see on x formerly known as Twitter, in which
you know something will come across your screen that it
(01:13:21):
becomes an interesting thing. And my guess is that that's
where she founded because of the other places that she's
been going to. On X one commenter responded, We're sorry
your daughter hates you, Elon. Elon Musk in fact has
a daughter of this trans and it's the thing that
he said turned them against the trans movement. He saw
(01:13:41):
how people took advantage of mixed up kids and got
them to essentially ruin their lives. Musk responded, I assume
you're referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic
mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you
push on vulnerable children. I love Xavier very much and
hope he recovers. Continued to take aim at Newsom on
(01:14:02):
X calling him this is nicky Minaj. Again. I could
tell already that I like her. Called Newsom the cute
boy who got everything handed to him because of how
cute and how sexy and how hot and smoking he
was sitting there in that suit with the sneakers on.
(01:14:22):
He thinks he's Tom Cruise. Only the difference is his
next mission is impossible. So I mean that's this is
wearing this suit and then he's got sneakers. You just
see that. You could just tell it's a pose, right,
I just try to be cool. So, I mean, so
you've got no Nicki Minaj who's got a massive she's
(01:14:47):
would you call her a rapper or hip hop? The
person who was telling me about this the trip, she's
young and she's used the term rap describing her. I
don't I couldn't tell you a Nicki Minaj song. I
know all the Rihanna stuff, but Nicki Minaj is too
out there for me. But anyway, Newsom was considered to
be a likely twenty twenty eight Democratic presidential nominee candidate.
(01:15:08):
In additional post, Minage suggested that his pursuit of the
presidency to already be doing. Here's more Nicki Minaj. Oh,
Gaby pooh, it only gets worse from here on for you, buddy.
It's the end of the road for you, my love.
So Nicki Minaj is apparently now on our side. I mean, seriously,
who would have thought. I mean, for a while, you
(01:15:32):
kind of had uh not jay Z the other one
who's the one that have Kanye. You sort of had Kanye,
but he might be in a rubber room right now.
Then Kanye went off and started to go all anti
Semitic and doesn't seem to be embraced by much of
anybody anymore. But Nicki Minaj is still out there in
very big deal. Well, let she ask, she's got another
shot here, get in the nearest jet ski and let
(01:15:54):
the beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make
you happier than this race that you will not win.
Enjoy life peace. That was Friday Saturday. She goes back
and starts the posting, so he's under her skin. Though,
by the way, I did check Nicki Minaj's followers and
exit like however, many billion people on the planet, I
think she has seven times more followers than that. But
(01:16:16):
I mean, maybe I need to start following her then
I can repost her stuff. Well probably should. I did
post this story on my account on x over the weekend.
Minage has aligned herself with Trump administration officials and policies
in recent weeks. You wonder what happened several weeks ago
(01:16:37):
that got this light public go. My guess is that
I've made this comment a number of times, and I
could speak from my own experience. You know, forty five
years ago when I moved from the left to the right.
It's usually one thing that you change your mind on.
I know, but my point is that's why I'm gonna
get with this. Change your mind on one thing. But
once you said now your mind is opening, your question, well,
(01:16:58):
maybe I'm wrong about this, and the next thing and
the next thing. And when you just rejected anybody, all
the right Republicans are not all this right. I'm not
part of that. I'm not part of that. When you
break ranks on one thing. You've seen this with Bill Maher.
He still very liberal, but he's broken ranks now on
quite a few of the doctrinaire positions from the left.
Once your mind is opened, you started thinking about things.
And my guess is for religious reasons, she started focusing
(01:17:21):
on the atrocity going on in Africa, the atrocity, the
genocide that nobody ever talks about it, which they're just
there's a massive Christian movement, Catholic, Lutheran, other Christian religions
in Africa, and the Muslims in Africa hate it and
they're trying to kill them all. And my guess is
that Nicki Minaj, for religious reasons, has been aware of
this issue. The fact that these are Africans people of
(01:17:43):
color probably made it of some interest to her, and
she got on that And now that one issue has
opened her mind and triggered her thoughts in any number
of other areas. In November, Minaj posted a screenshot of
a Trump True social post in which he said Christianity
is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. She wrote, reading
(01:18:05):
this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We
live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.
We don't have to share the same beliefs in order
for us to respect each other. Numerous countries all around
the world are being affected by this horror, and it's
dangerous to pretend that we don't notice. She thanked the
president and his team for taking this seriously. God bless
(01:18:28):
every persecuted Christian. Let's remember to lift them up in prayer.
So we have Nicki Minaj on our side. I mean,
if you would have asked me to name one hundred
and forty million Americans who I thought might come over
to our side, I don't know that she would have
cracked the list of one hundred and forty. I mean,
there are some white rappers that that's been their thing forever,
(01:18:51):
is that they're simply white conservatives who rap and do
their stuff. But she's she's one of those that was
a superstar long before there was any political comment MATERII
out there or not. And one final there's a show
I've mentioned. I think everybody relates to this, all the
(01:19:13):
stuff that's out there on streaming, that somebody will tell
you how to watch this, that it's pretty good. The
problem is always that nobody ever tells you, Like on
episode two of season one, they'll tell you about something
and then you find out we're in season four and
there's like thirty nine episodes before that, and almost all
of them are you know, back in the sixties, seventies
and eighties, TV shows are self contained. Like if you
(01:19:35):
watch say Bonanza, you didn't have to watch the Sunday
before you watch the reruns. Now there's never a continuing
story from week to week. But most of those shows
that are on streaming and so on, you know, or
I think like the Sopranos and shows like that, sounded
for what happened in one week. You can't watch the
Sopranos and come in like an episode thirty nine. You
have to see it from the beginning. And I'm sure
(01:19:55):
Breaking Bad, which I still haven't seen, is one of them.
Keep hearing about these shows, and then it's been around
for a while. Have you heard about Landman? Heard about it,
but you've not seen it. You've heard it's really good.
See now I've heard the same thing. It's got Sam
(01:20:17):
Elliot's on it, I think. Yeah, Billy Bob Thornton is
in it. Everything Billy Bob Thornton has ever been in
has been good, largely because he's He's one of the
greater actors of all time, don't you think. But part
of it, the part of it is every character he
ever plays, it seems to be it's got like a
dangerous evilness. He plays evil in a normal way, if
(01:20:42):
you know what I mean. He is clearly psychotic and
craze than every one of these characters, but he acts
in a non psychotic and craze fashion. Anyway, Billy Bob
Thornton is in it. Sam Elliott, who's has the deepest
voice in the history of voices, He's in there, and
so on. Anyway, for the most recent episode of the
(01:21:04):
one that I guess just dropped or just landed a landmark.
The characters are talking about something and I want to
quote here from it is in the fifth episode of
the second season. Okay, it's in the second season. That's
still time for me to go back and try to
catch up and start screaming on. It features a conversation
between Tommy Norris played by Billy Bob Thornton and his
(01:21:25):
father t L played by Sam Elliott. As they talk,
Tommy suggested to his father they be watched the view
to pass the time. T L that asks Tommy what
the view is? Now, Tommy, that's the Billy Bob Thornton character.
He now tells Sam Elliott what the view is. Here's
(01:21:45):
the quote. This should have been my quote of the day.
Well we had. We can have two quotes of the day,
can't we. This is the Billy Bob Thornton character in
Is it landman or land man? I wouldn't. I don't
even know, really man, you would pronounce it and not landman?
Is it about? What is it? If something that's land
in real estate or ranching or I don't know anything
(01:22:08):
about it. I just know people have said it's good.
You don't really know either. You're trying to look it
up and find out it is on Paramount Plus by
the way, which is it's in Texas. It's probably I
don't know, maybe it's something billionaire is making money off
of boil so maybe an update of that Hold Dallas thing. Anyway,
it's on Paramount Plus. So now here's Billy Bob Thornton's
(01:22:30):
character telling Sam Elliott what the view is. How would
you tell somebody? What if somebody asked you what the
view is? What would you say? A bunch of old
hag liberal has been what else? Making fun of Trump? Well,
here's Philly Bob Thornton is pretty close to you. A
(01:22:51):
bunch of pissed off millionaires bitching about how much they
hate millionaires and Trump and men and you and me
and everybody else they got there be up their asses about.
It's pretty funny. I mean, any show that's out there
that's like making fun of the view is something I
gotta get under my radar, all right, because I'm only
(01:23:13):
it's it's in the second season. That's easier for me
to go than going back and starting the whole breaking
bad And then if I watch the breaking bad. I'm
gonna have to go do the better calls calls Saul.
I just Pulse's breakings Bad's better than the better call Sault. Well,
I'll just do that. I'll just do Land. Where does
Yellowstone coming on this? Well? Okay, which Dwight do first? See?
(01:23:34):
I'm thinking I can start on Land man and catch
up and catch up faster than the others and then
move on to the next thing. Well, I want to
see the lad Yeah, breaking bad. They aren't making fun
of the old bag. The battle axes on the view
and in this show, it is time to take a break.
On the Markedelling podcast, this is the Markedelling podcast. Is
(01:23:59):
it is just it's hard to overstate how terrible the
Packers situation is. Micah Parsons blew out his ACL. What
appeared to be a spectacular trade is now a nightmare
for the Packers. The ACL is the major ligament in
(01:24:21):
the knee. Best case scenario, he might be back for
the beginning of nine season. In the next season, the
recovery time on an ACL is usually nine to twelve months.
I'm of the opinion that if you don't do fifteen months,
depending on the sport, that you're in, you're screwed. Fifteen
months would mean he would be out through all of
(01:24:42):
next season, but most players try to come back in nine.
The problem is it's the ligament that essentially holds your
knee up. There's a couple of other its interior cruciate ligament.
There's a couple of other ligaments in there that aren't
as critical as the ACL. The way he himself a
non contact injury indicates it just probably went. And they
(01:25:04):
say that usually when they just probably went, that there'd
been a problem that was developing and finally it went
off on you. The problem, of course, with everything pertaining
to this is that the Packers gave up so much
for him. The Packers have no number one draft pick
next year or the following year, and prior to the
(01:25:26):
moment at which he injured himself, it was a spectacularly
good trade. You make a trade like this to try
to win a Super Bowl. And the way he was
playing just reminded me of how Reggie White. It took
several years after Reggie was getting here became the piece
of the puzzle on defense that helped the Packers win
a Super Bowl. Micah Parsons was playing at a level that,
combined with the Packers offense, was making the Packers a
(01:25:48):
legitimate Super Bowl contender. And that's why you make a
trade like this. He's had a great four years prior
to come into Green Bay and was having a spectacular season,
and now he's not only gone for this season, who
knows about next season and beyond that. It is a
terrible injury to recover from, depending on your position, Many players,
(01:26:12):
particularly in football basketball as well, who have acls either
don't make it back or come back totally compromise. The
famous Packer case of David Bachtiari, who never made it back.
He just play and then it went on them and
you couldn't get it together. In basketball, there's the Jabari
Parker situation. What will often happen players who come back
(01:26:33):
too soon, They favor the leg and they blow out
the other ACL. And from the perspective of Parsons, his
great strength was he was so strong and fast. The
same day this happened, Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City went
down with an ACL. Earlier this season, Tucker Kraft, the
Packer tight end, went out with an ACL. The Packers
(01:26:55):
have on their team this year, probably two guys who
were going to be first team All Pro Craft and Parsons,
and they both went out with acls. Of the three
players on the team, I think the three most important
Packers prior to these two injuries were love Craft and Parsons.
(01:27:15):
Now two of the three are gone. The ACL injury
is becoming more and more common. Football injuries are very,
very common, but this one in particular, almost the death
penalty more than ever. Now. I'm not a doctor in
all of this, but I have my theories. I think
(01:27:36):
that the problem with so, you know, I go back
to watching football in the sixties, seventies, in the eighties,
you never heard about acls. You didn't hear about knee injuries,
and sometimes they didn't even know what it was. Like
Dick Bucket said terrible knees, and Gail Sayers had terrible
knees and so. But I just think that the thing
right now is you have athletes that are so fast
and so big and so strong. You have these incredible
(01:27:58):
muscles and their things so fast, and the way work
the players have done and the training they have done,
they've bulked up and these are such strong muscles and
such speed, But you still have the same kind of
bones and the same kind of ligaments. The other injury
that's terrible is the Achilles tendon injury, where you know,
just the pounding that you're taking on the body. So
(01:28:21):
I don't know if it's an indictment on sports, but
you know, you're back in the steroid era when you
saw so many players during training camp dropping over of
heart attacks and dying. Well, the steroids were giving them
the ability to exercise at and they just didn't get tired.
They could work and work and work and work. But
they say it got the same hearts and lungs that
everybody had before, and they were overtaxing their bodies. And
(01:28:43):
I just think that if you go through the history
of acl injuries, it tends to be the greater the athlete,
the more likely they are to get them. And I
think it's because they're the ones that have the incredible muscles,
they're the fast ones. You know, state when we make
in horse racing all the time is the slow horses
never get it's the fast ones that do. Part of
that is the fast ones are running fastest, the pounding
(01:29:05):
harder on the ground, And so what if you're out
there just jogging around, You're not gonna get hurt. The
non contact is always the worst one because it means
you could understand somebody gets banged on something, something gets broke,
or something. A non contact means it was just ready
to go. And there's nothing good about this. People talk
(01:29:26):
about whether or not the Packers. I don't know how
you could possibly be a Super Bowl contender and lose
two players of this caliber. Now, everybody gets injuries, but
these are massive losses. And the way they had structured
the whole defense all year was to take advantage of
the fact that Parsons was always being double teamed. And
from Parsons perspective, the NFL is a little different in
(01:29:47):
terms of contracts than the other sports leagues. But he
still will get most of his money. He had that
big signing bonus when he cut his new deal with
Green Bay what he got here, but his career is
now at least at the standard that he played in
was Jeff pretty and for the Packers, it's just it's crushing,
you know, the whole game with Denver is I said
last week, I don't I think the Packers probably aren't
(01:30:10):
going to win. The bigger game is Chicago coming through.
You just hope nobody gets hurt, and somebody got hurt,
and other than love of all the guys, you didn't
want to get hurt. It's Micah Parsons. But that's what
football is. And from Kansas City's perspective, at least the
Chiefs fans could say, we won all of our Super
Bowls with Mahomes and it was the very game in
(01:30:30):
which they were eliminated and knocked out. It was at
the end of the game that Mahomes got the ACL
and so on. Yeah, I just it's just a bummer
all concern for Packer fans, and as I say, the
fact that they gave up so much. It's the reason
why you in football are so leary of making a
(01:30:51):
deal in which, in the case of the Packers, they
gave up three players. They gave up the defensive lineman,
defensive lineman, they get Kenny Clark and two number one picks.
You presume a number one pick is going to be
a starter. They gave up all of that to get
Parsons right now, and they're going to have no nothing
to show for it. That's what football is, and it's
(01:31:14):
the great frustration, of course for sports fans, especially football.
Injuries can happen in all sports, but especially football to
a growing extent. Basketball and these two injuries, two injuries
in particular, the Achilles and the acl they're the killers,
and they're more and more common. All Right, that's a
sour not to end the show on, isn't it? If
(01:31:36):
you have anything good that we can say is to
override all of that. No, I'm that upbeat. Note, we'll
wrap it up for today's program. I had an idea
for something that I wanted to do, but I couldn't
(01:31:57):
figure out a way to do it. I'm if it's
becoming more and more rebellious against Christmas starting way too soon.
But even I after acknowledge, really like a week a
week and a half away from Christmas, this is a
true soon for it to start. But I still thinking
that it's too soon. It's still overwhelming me. It all
over the place. Anyway, back with another podcast on Wednesday Night.
