America's Turning Point And More On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the turbulent political moment the country is facing and the mindset he believes Americans must reclaim to survive it. He dives into the headlines of the day, but quickly pivots to a broader warning: the nation is becoming distracted, divided, and dangerously dependent on politics instead of productivity. Brett argues that too many people expect Washington to fix their problems while ignoring the discipline, creativity, and grit that built America in the first place.

We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the tensions in Charlotte and the remarkable longevity of LeBron James. Coach Doherty reflects on the recent protests and unrest in Charlotte, noting that while the situation is disappointing, it’s not surprising for a major city dealing with complex political and legal issues. He emphasizes that the law is the law, and although many undocumented individuals contribute positively to the community, the city must still navigate safety concerns, economic impacts, and the real dangers connected to human trafficking.

Shifting to basketball, Coach Doherty marvels at LeBron James beginning his record-setting 23rd NBA season. He compares LeBron’s durability and discipline to earlier eras, recalling stories from Michael Jordan’s early career when players traveled under far less glamorous conditions. Doherty applauds LeBron’s incredible work ethic, physical conditioning, and ability to compete at an elite level despite now sharing the court with teammates who weren’t even born when he entered the league.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
News Talk eleven ten nine A nine to three WBT.
It's the Brett Witter Bowls Show. It is great to
be with you. That means we have just crossed the
three o'clock hour, and you know what that means. It
means that we're going to be breaking down all the
big stories that are important, some of the stuff that's
not important, and some of the things that ought to
be important but are not being really looked at as

(00:38):
it should. Our telephone number seven four five seven, eleven ten,
and of course you can always reach out to us
on X, on Facebook, on all those different sort of things.
I come today before you to warn what we're dealing with,
because I know exactly what next. Right now. We're living

(01:05):
in a moment that demands clarity and courage, no doubt
about it, but mostly conviction. Not another election cycle, not
another hashtag war, not another round of political theater that
distracts us from the real mission. And what that mission

(01:25):
is is building a future worth inheriting. Now. I understand
that people are very excited about illegal immigrants all around
the country, and I know, by and large, we see
these board typically white women who are out there doing things,

(01:50):
banging on pots, and pans and yelling and screaming and
all that sort of stuff. And I understand that's nice
if you have the ability to stay home and do
that sort of thing, But the average person in the
United States of America needs to get up and go
to work each and every day. Sometimes they have to
work two jobs, sometimes they have to work three jobs.
We've become obsessed with the politics of what is happening

(02:14):
rather than what we need to do to fix the problem.
Every two, four or six years up we hit the
reset button and we pretend that the ballots alone will
save us. But the ballots don't build businesses. Votes don't
launch rockets. Hashtags don't cure cancer. Innovation does that, Human

(02:41):
beings do that. Committed people do that. We're not entitled
to greatness. We have to earn it every single day,
and right now we're not earning much. We're distracted, we're divided.
You want to know what we really are, You want

(03:02):
to be honest. We're soft. We got people who think
cosplay is culture, who treat grievance like currency, and who
believe the prosperity is something that the government hands out
like candy. So let me be blunt about this. Social
security might be there for you, But what's your plan B,

(03:25):
what's your plan C, what's your plan D, and what's
your plan E? Because if your only plan is to
wait for Washington to fix your life, you've already surrendered.
What we need to do is get off our rumps
and get to work. We need to build something, we

(03:46):
need to sell something, we need to solve something. Because
history doesn't wait for the confused, and it doesn't forgive
the complacent. Oh it's great to run around and say
I just think I want to all these people home
with me. I'm part of No kings, said nobody. The history.

(04:10):
The history is our guideline. Just ask the Romans. They
built roads, aqueducts and empires, and by the way, they
still exist. But when they stopped innovating, when they started indulging,
when they let the bureaucracy and the decadence replace grit

(04:34):
and discipline, they fell. Asked the Soviets. They had all
the power, the ambition, and the ideology, but they were
crooked as crooked could be, and they crushed creativity, punished enterprise,
buried dissent. They collapsed under the weight of their own stagnation.

(04:58):
Go knock on the door in the east. The Ottomans,
ask the British Empire, ask Venezuela, ask Argentina, ask any
nation that thought it was too big to fail. They
all failed. Joe Biden was put on that track to
destroy the United States of America. It was the devil's

(05:21):
bargain that he put together. Why do you think you
got forty million people coming into the country with no
way to get out, and now we stand at our
own crossroads. We're only a few years from losing the
edge that made America the envy of the world. And
if the socialists get their way, the Mundami's coming up

(05:44):
and knocking on your door. The sons of the Mundamis,
the daughters of the Mundamis, the people who want to
take everything you have to the bottom of the barrel.
What are you going to do? Hide in the woods?
How are you going to deal with this? We're only

(06:05):
a few years away from losing the edge that America
gave the envy of the world, and the socialists will
get their way. If we trade grit for grievance and
production for redistribution, it's going to come even faster. This
is a warning. We cannot be a nation of distraction addicts.

(06:28):
We cannot be a nation of furry worshipers. We cannot
be a nation of digital dependence. We need to be strong.
In fact, we need to be unyielding. In fact, we
need to be builders. We need to be makers, We
need to be fighters. The world is watching, and the

(06:48):
vultures are circular circling. We must innovate an energy in AI,
in infrastructure, in education, whatever the heck that means. We
must unleash entrepreneurs, empower creators, and reward risk. I know
you're sitting out there and you're saying, but we have

(07:08):
all these Mexicans running around, We have all these people,
All this stuff is happening. Donald Trump is trying to
get this thing cleaned up. Joe Biden brought in twenty
thirty forty million people we don't even know, and he
doesn't even remember. But we must unleash entrepreneurs. We must

(07:29):
unleash and empower the creators. We have to reward the risk,
not the punish success. We must teach our kids that
prosperity is earned, it's not given. That freedom is defended.
It's not assumed that greatness is built. It's not inherited
because here's the truth, and this hurts. There's no plan B.

(07:55):
There's no plan B. If we don't save ourselves, nobody
else will. Not the government, not the billionaires, not the cartels,
not the bureaucrats, us, you, me, the people who lay
in bed at night worried about the next generation. Those
are the people that have to save us. So stop waiting,

(08:21):
Stop waiting, Let's start building. Let's innovate like our future
depends on it. Because it does. News Talk eleven ten

(08:47):
out of nine to three WBT. It's the Brettwinerable Show.
All right. So a lot of you guys are sitting
back and you're saying, Okay, what are we going to
get this train back on the track. Ah, very unique
sort of thing that we just did there. Scott bessn't.
Scott Bessant is demanding a rate cut in this next meeting.
And President Trump earlier today was fit to be tied.

(09:09):
He wants this thing done. It's just not it's not
coming on the right schedule. Cut number twenty seven, Scott
bessn't go. We have an answer. Do you think from
the FED about another cut? Do you think that's where
they're going.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I hope it's where they're going, because when you're in
uncertain times, and after what this consumer shut down did
to the economy, I would think that if you're not
taking out an insurance cut here, or if you're flying blind,
they say, well, we don't have data. Well, if you
don't have data, then that's what insurance it's for. So

(09:45):
I would encourage them. They've gone into a cycle, So
let's go one, two, three, and we can see from there.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know what, There's got to be an easier mechanism
to impeach a Federal Reserve chair. I'm sorry, but ten
years for the FBI and nine years for this and
that and the other thing? Are you kidding me? You don't.
You don't want these guys to be sitting in this job.
You want to make sure that somebody's gonna be in
a dynamic way, and you're going to go ahead, and

(10:13):
you're gonna go ahead and get get the money flowing
in the right directions. This is a problem We consistently
as a culture, and we consistently as as a country,
always put ourselves last. Why is that? Why is that? Like, like,
why do we allow people to bring massive amounts of

(10:33):
narcotics to murder our kids into our country. Why are
they not caught and then immediately put in front of
a certain kind of squad, Like why you catch them
with the drugs? Like why are they going to jail?
What is the purpose of this? I don't know, but
I can tell you this. People have had it. Even

(10:54):
cut number twenty nine, Mark Harris, Congressman Mark Harris, cut
number twenty nine. He's done with this trafficking stuff, and
I'm happy that he's doing this. Go ahead, quite knight.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
That number is probably closer to a little over two
hundred folks that have been arrested at this point, and
to the point that was made earlier, many of them
have gotten these criminal backgrounds that are being recognized, and
so I'm very thankful. I hope it's going to one
of the results is going to be that the city
of Charlotte is going to be safer because these criminal,

(11:28):
illegal aliens are being taken off the streets. And so
it is warranted because again, we've got a serious issue
going on in Charlotte. Not only have we seen crime
issues that have taken place, but I think that I
saw a report just I guess it was yesterday morning
that Charlotte is one of the top cities in the
nation in human trafficking, and I think that's a great concern.

(11:49):
And so you know, when when border patrol decides where
they're going in, they have their own intelligence that they
have been able to muster. They have their own information,
and they choose these areas because there are suspects that
they are looking for and they have information that would
lead them there. So I'm confident that they're there, they're
getting the job done, and I'm very grateful.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Let me give you an AB comparison. Okay, I'm gonna
give you an AB comparison. What Mark Harris just said
makes eminent sense. I have no problem with anything that
Mark Harris is saying. The congressman is doing a very
good job for his constituency. But you know, there are
people who want illegal immigrants to be walking the streets,
who want to be a part of this. They are

(12:31):
people who are saying that the people that are trying
to arrest felons are bad people. Let me give you
an example. There's a Congresswoman Alma Adams, Democrat, Charlotte. Listen
to this cut thirty four cut thirty four letter.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Rep total disregard for the for the citizen, the people,
those of us who represent Charlotte. So I'm not surprised
that they did not coordinate what a patrol did not
coordinate with? Then are they want to come in? They
want to sneak in? Well, they said they were coming,
they just didn't tell us what they were going to do,
where they were going to be, and that kind of

(13:12):
things that we really did not have. And that's why
citizens are up in arms.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
With all due respect to the congresswoman, what did you
think that the border patrol was coming in for? Were
they coming in for a big celebration, Were they coming
in for a game or two? No, they're out there
doing the hard work. And you say to yourself, well,
who could possibly who could possibly want to endorse this
sort of behavior? Cut number thirty seven. This is Mark

(13:36):
Harris again, this is him talking over at Fox yesterday,
and I think he's making a very important point. Cut
number thirty seven, Mark Harris.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
I think it's staggering, and I think exactly you can
just look at it on its face and it definitely
rings and begs the question of what's going on in
our Charlotte Mecklenburg School system, what's going on in the
whole Charlotte Mecklenburg area. I am very thankful that the
custom Border Patrol has made its way to Charlotte. I'm

(14:10):
thankful that in the first really two and a half days,
three days, I heard a report this morning that there
have been more than two hundred arrest that have already
been made. And when you look at the people that
they are taking these criminal, illegal aliens and bringing them
off the streets of Charlotte, that can only be a
good thing. It can only be a good thing for
bringing down crime numbers, it can only be a good

(14:33):
thing for making the people of Charlotte safe once again,
and it can only be a good thing for restoring
confidence in the people that really and truly law enforcement
is doing their job. And that's the point I really
want to make will when you see and there have
been reaction from leaders in the city and even the
governor that oftentimes comes off negative about CBP, But I

(14:57):
want folks to understand, and I've been stressing on any
time I've had a chance to talk about it, that
the Border Patrol, they are law enforcement. That's what they are,
and they deserve our respect and they deserve our honor
as law enforcement. And to be somehow teaching children that
you're to be fearful of these people, well, it must
only mean that you must be a criminal or you

(15:19):
have some kind of criminal element going on in your area,
if you're living in fear, if you are not breaking law.
I learned as a child growing up the policemen were
our friend. Law enforcement was our friend, and we were
always taught that and train that. So I don't know
what's happening here in our society that we somehow are
trying to make these folks out to be enemies when

(15:39):
they're really just simply protecting the public and enforcing the law.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Pretty easy to understand. I'll let you hear the other
side when we come back, but this is very easy
to understand. Joe Biden did this on purpose to wreck
your city. The press in Charlotte is just so so

(16:13):
so so I'm gonna let you hear that in a minute.
But you know what we were talking about, all the
enforcement stuff, right, it's not fair. It's not fair that
we are enforcing laws. It's not fair in any way,
shape or form. But I got somebody who's like all
about protecting all of these people, and you know, I
want to be I want to be fair. This is
a person that I came across in the last day

(16:36):
or so, and this is Emilie John who is an
activist for protecting the illegals. This is cut number thirty two.
Let's hear her her thoughts on this.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I'm a member of several groups here in Charlotte that
are working behind the scenes to make sure that here
sure your own migrant community, immigrant community are safe. Conditions
are it's icy, So I'm here along with.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
People to make sure.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
That families feel safe, but children get home safe, and
that families know that they don't have to come out
and put themselves at risk.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Is happening.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Very coordinated that What do you think about that that's
tougher to do this.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
I think that it's a warrant that we have to
do it. But the response has been incredible in the community,
and I'm so glad that people are stepping up and
and putting themselves out there to protect our neighbors and
our friends and community.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
Has anything else you'd like to say?

Speaker 8 (17:55):
Trump?

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Can I say that.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
She knows how to she knows how to curse? What
a what A what a tremendous talent cursing she might
get her wish. She might get her wish in this regard.
And let me let me tell you why. Because the
silly people at SC posted this last night. Could Charlotte

(18:22):
judge release hundreds of immigrants like Chicago did?

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Now that's what you're rooting for. Huh a s OC,
that's what you're rooting for. Yep, with all these immigration arrests,
you may be wondering whether a judge will order hundreds
to be released like one judge did in Chicago. Action nine, Well,
let me do this. Let's get some Action nine explains

(18:51):
that that's what happened in Chicago, and it stems from
a case called cast to non Nava a few years ago.
People sued ICE, and both sides settled in twenty twenty two.
In the consent decree, Ice agreed to follow certain rules nationwide,

(19:14):
including here in the Carolinas. For example, suppose officers arrest
someone without a warrant. In that case, they must have
probable cause to believe the person is in the country
illegally and is likely to escape. While officers obtained a warrant.

(19:36):
Officers also agreed to document more information on the I
two thirteen forms, including how they identified themselves, the reason
that they couldn't wait for a warrant, and where they
were arresting the person, that person's ties to the commutiny,

(19:58):
and whether the person lives there, works there, or something else.
But the castan on Nava case did something else. It
focused on ICE's Chicago office. Specifically, it gave immigrants extra
protection in the six states that those officers cover. In

(20:21):
the actuality of the class action, there were members of
a class that were defined geographically and for a period
of time. Charlotte immigration attorney Stephen Meyer said, So they
have the same rights as people here, but with more
rights and recourse if they're arrested. That's my quote. I'm

(20:45):
adding that. I'm adding the fact that they may have
the same rights as people here, but they get more
recourse if they're arrested. So if you're shoplifting, if you're
beating your wife, if you're beating a child, if you're
doing it, we got we got to give you fair
We gotta give you a fair fair game here, right,
That's that's that's what we're talking about. What if you

(21:06):
shoot some what if you kill somebody, Well, we gotta
prove it. We've gotta we gotta prove that, and that's
that's gonna probably be at least another four and a
half five six. How many how many years did we
have to wait for for the Brooks murder? Was I five?
Five six? I think it was five six? Yeah, so
we should reward them like Emily wants to reward them.

(21:29):
I mean, I get it. It makes sense. So bottom line,
you may see people in the Charlotte area released on
an individual basis, but probably not hundreds at a time.
What is unlikely is that we are going to see
what happened in Chicago where six hundred cases were just
thrown out summarily. I think it's interesting because to me,

(21:54):
just just by looking at this, you can see exactly
exactly who's on what part of the argument. And it's
clear that ABC, NBCCBS are right there looking to to
make excuses things like that, what have you? And yet

(22:16):
and yet there are people who are incredibly dangerous, who
are threatening to the community, and they just want to
turn the other way. This is why people don't like
the press. This is why people I'm telling you, this
is why people do not like the media, and you

(22:38):
have all of these sort of things that you can
be looking at.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
You can be looking at the newspapers, you can be
looking at the cable channels, you can be looking at
all those other things. But the only place where you
actually have a voice in these things is in talk radio.
We are not mind numbed. Or you can kiss. Did

(23:12):
you know that you can kiss? If that's what you
want to do? No, No, I'm serious. Kissing goes back twenty
one million years to the common ancestor of humans and
other large apes, according to a study, how do they know?
How do they know? Scientists traced kissing back to a

(23:32):
primate ancestor that lived about twenty one million years ago.
That's where the first kiss took place. Yeah, that's what
they're saying over it LiveScience dot com. The act of
kissing may have started long before modern humans existed. A
new modeling of study suggests kissing stretches back roughly twenty

(23:58):
one million years to the shared ancestor of humans and
other large apes, according to the study published Wednesday in
the journal Evolution and Human Behavior. Meanwhile, Homo sapiens likely
emerged around three hundred thousand years ago. That's what they're saying.

(24:20):
The researchers also concluded that kissing most likely occurred in Neanderthals.
Imagine kissing in Neanderthal like just imagine the breath. Just
imagine imagine the breath, and just like the stank. I mean,
these people are not brushing their teeth. There's no close up,
there's no I mean, what are we what are we

(24:42):
doing here? But they were, they were the closest extinct
relatives of modern humans, and the Neanderthals and the modern
humans may have kissed each other. Really you think is
it possible? I don't know. Hey, I saw you with that,

(25:05):
with that very attractive Neanderthal last night. Who's that? Well,
that's just Steve, Steve, what are you doing? Well, what's
going on?

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Who?

Speaker 1 (25:13):
What are you doing? What are you putting you what
are you putting your mouth on on the other person?

Speaker 6 (25:17):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (25:18):
What does that call? What do we doing? It's just
called kissing. We were at the beach and I just
thought I should kiss, I should kiss What's what's what's
their name? I don't know, Neanderthal, it's Neanderthal number seven whatever.
Oh oh no, it's not Steve it's it's, it's it's
Frank Steve was the other guy. Okay, before dating the

(25:43):
world's oldest kisses, and international team of researchers defined what
it means to kiss. Really, are you kidding me? I
mean I feel kind of like we got to play
a k we gotta play a song. Right.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
This was important because this is just so gross. This
is important because other mouth to mouth actions in nature
looks similar to kissing. So you may just make it
faces at you and you're thinking they want to kiss you,
and then you get up there close and then suddenly

(26:21):
you got a problem on your hand. I mean you know,
I mean, Prince was right, Prince knew what it was
all about, right, Prince was singing all about if you
want to, you know, kiss For example, mother orangutangs and
chimpanzees transfer chewed food to their infants. No, thank you,

(26:43):
I'm going to pass on that. Mouth to mouth and
fish engage in kiss fighting. Oh gosh, I remember that
hit song, right, was that Carl Douglas. Everybody was kiss fighting.
They were as fast as lightning to assert dominance or

(27:04):
compete for territory. Ultimately, the researchers defined kissing as all right,
very time, very timely here, Okay, I'm just gonna say it.
You'll know why. Ultimately, the researchers defined kissing as non
aggressive mouth to mouth contact that did not involve food transfer.

(27:28):
Did you just kiss me? No, I was just sharing
my tuna fish sandwich with you. That's all that really was.
Don't take it to so personally. Based on this definition,
the modern day primates, including batabos, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, macoqux,
and baboons have been observed kissing, sometimes at the same time. Now,

(27:50):
I made that joke. That's not real. The researchers then
used a statistical messod method called bayesioning modeling to reconstruct
the evolutionary history of kissing. They treated kissing as a
biological trait and tested many possible ways for this behavior

(28:13):
and how it could have evolved to see how likely
it was that different ancestors also kissed. They ran the
model ten million times to make sure that the results
were strong and reliable. You know what, if you've been
kissing ten million times, you better see a doctor. Perhaps

(28:35):
you're gonna get You're gonna get the ick, You're gonna
get a problem. They concluded that kissing evolved once in
the common ancestor of large apes, sometime between twenty one
point five million and sixteen point nine million. That's a
big that's a big spread. That is that is that's
like a five million spread. What are we doing? However,

(28:59):
kissing was absent and ancestral Ma and papian Nina that
included macoux and baboons, suggesting that the kissing evolved separately
in the modern day speed. Well, of course, there's like

(29:20):
you put a kiss on the lips, or perhaps you
get the French kiss the French. I mean, my gosh,
they had to take that thing to the next level.
They're like, boom, here we go. Although more evidence is needed,
and there's a there's an opportunity for you if you'd
like to start kissing wildlife. I'm kidding. Although more evidence

(29:46):
is needed, the researchers say kissing might have evolved from
the practice of pre chewing, transferring food from a mother
to an infant. That's a totally different thing. Why are
you putting that in there? The practical, the practical food
sharing behavior may have been repurposed onto what we now
know is kissing. Stop Kissing the Mango News Talk eleven ten,

(30:25):
not a nine three WBT Brett Waterbule Show. Good to
be with you, our number two underway. It is a
pleasure to be spending time with each and every one
of you. Lots of other stories that are out there moving.
Let me give you something that I think we should
talk about because earlier today, when I was doing my
appearance with Bo and Beth, I made a prediction. I

(30:49):
made a prediction. I know, right hard to believe, but
I made a prediction. I think we're going to see
within the next fifteen to twenty days. I'm going to
extend it out to twenty days. I think we're going
to see Uh, the guy who is running Venezuela go away.
I don't think they're gonna kill him, but I think
he's gonna end up going probably into into UH. I

(31:11):
would say Russia, because that's where all the bad guys go. Right,
you had you had Asad, he went to Russia. All
these horrible people going to Russia. And I do think
before Christmas. I'm not going to say Thanksgiving, but before Christmas,
I do think you're going to see UH Freedom come

(31:32):
to Venezuela because it looks to me from a couple
of stories that I'm reading that Donald Trump is serious
about deposing not wanting to go to war, but deposing
the Venezuelan government because, uh, they're they're a huge problem
for us, and people don't necessarily realize that. But the

(31:53):
idea of like all the drugs that are coming in,
all these different things that are happening, it's very very
it's very very interesting to keep an eye on that.
Just keep an eye on that storyline. Look, even CNN's
got the story. Venezuela's propaganda machine lashes back with jokes,
cartoons and sarcasm as US pressure ramps up again. I

(32:16):
don't think we're going to go to war with them.
I think we're going to cut a deal and get
them out, get him, get this guy out. And I
do think that the person who's going to end up
responsible for the rest of the government there is going
to be the woman, the young woman who was campaigning

(32:37):
for freedom in Venezuela. And if we break Venezuela, like
if we I don't even go to war, but if
we're able to depose them and we break it, that's
a huge, huge thing. And Marco Rubio has been working
very quietly on this, and so have you know. Pete
Heseth has been doing a lot of stuff on this,

(32:58):
and the CIA is is looking at a lot of
this as well. And I think, again, it's just one
of these things where it feels like this is going
to tumble. In fact, here's one other piece that is
on this issue. Report Trump tells CIA to plan covert
ops inside Venezuela. Now, why would you put that out? Like,

(33:24):
why would you put that storyline out? Andrew McCarthy, serious guy,
serious writer over at National Review. And here's how the
story runs. President Trump has given the CIA authorization to
plan for covert operations inside Venezuela. The New York Times reported,
based on multiple unidentified people briefed on the matter, the

(33:47):
President has not settled on a strategy, but the nod
to the CIA appears to anticipate neutralizing key elements of
Nicholas Medoro's region in preparation for US attacks on Venezuelan territory,
including possible ground operations. After a build up over three months,

(34:11):
there are now approximately fifteen thousand troops US troops in
the region. The deployment, called Operation Southern Spear, now includes
the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Group, which has added
five thousand other people. So this is I don't think
that Trump wants to go to war war. I think

(34:32):
what he wants to do is say, hey, it's your
time to go. You want to go, You want to
go easy or do you want to go hard? That's
your choice. Maduro, your country is collapsing. We have just
blown up a whole ton of your drugs that you're
trying to put out there. And the fact is, you know,

(34:54):
you can do it this way or you can do
it in a completely different way, but you know what
you need to do. You need to get out of
the country. You need to get out now. Unfortunately, there
is a hierarchy, right, there is a hierarchy that exists.
So you've got Maduro and then you've got a whole
bunch of other people that were loyalists going all the
way back to Chavez and then and then of course Maduro.

(35:19):
But this is I think this is an important mission
that they're trying to that they're trying to accomplish. You know,
there's this bit that was done in like two thousand
and two or two thousand and three. It's you might
be able to find it if you look it up,
if you did a search on the internet. And I

(35:40):
want to say it was like two thousand and three maybe, Yeah,
it was about two thousand and three. These two disc
jockeys in Miami set up an incredible scam in which
they were able to put at the time, two people

(36:02):
together on the phone and it was Fidel Castro and
it was Uh Chavez and these guys. I don't know
how they did it, but the Bush administration was furious.
They were furious because what they did was they called
they called the people over in Venezuela and they said,

(36:25):
Fidel Castro wants to talk to you. Uh. They worked
their way right through it. These guys were fluent in Spanish.
It was it was incredible. So they're they're they're they're
going through this thing and they're saying, Fidel Castro wants
to talk to you. We're with Fidel Castro right now.
There's there's something that he's got that's very very important,
and all this sort of stuff, and what he What

(36:46):
they end up doing then is they end up going
to Fidel Castro on the phones and they get in.
They they actually they get in with Fidel Castro and
they're they're pretending with with with Chavez, and Chavez is
just like yeah, yeah, cee cee, cee cee, all this

(37:06):
kind of stuff, right, And what's happening is they're saying
uh in real time to Chad to uh. Castro, they're saying,
he lost he lost his uh meeting notes when they
were together at that at that last time that they
were talking. And so they keep building that up and
building that up and building that up, and at some
point they jet, they jettison. They just got rid of

(37:30):
Chaves and it's just Castro and these guys start blasting
Castro about you know, hey, the country's gotta fall, You're
gonna be gone. You're terrible, and they they get this
is the best part. They get Fidel Castro to curse
at them in Spanish and they start laughing. They're like,

(37:51):
you see, we got you, We got you, We can
get you anytime any place. I think it was Soul
was the station down in the Sol down in Miami,
and they, I mean they were like they were like boom,
boom boom. And Castro says to them, you know what,
you didn't get me. You didn't get nothing. You got nothing,
and he starts cursing about their moms and stuff like that,

(38:12):
and then they hung up. Well, that was an that
was an international incident, and the people who were part
of that got in trouble, but it was awesome. It's
all in Spanish. You can probably find it. You can
just dig it up. It's out there someplace. It's remarkable.
I always thought it would have been a fascinating documentary.

(38:36):
News Talk eleven ten out a nine to three WBT
Brett water Bowl show. By the way, I posted it
up over at the Facebook page, the Brett Witterer Bowl
Past book pace facebook page. You guys can go listen.
It's in Spanish, but it's it's fascinating to hear, especially
towards the end of that back and forth. An oldie
but a goodie. Now, this is something that I'm trying
to wrap my head around. I saw this emerge yesterday.

(39:00):
I didn't know all of the details in this regard,
but the Democratic Party has decided they want to send
a very specific message to people in the United States
military that they need to be prepared to what's the
word I'm thinking of, They need to be prepared to

(39:20):
defy orders and what they're implying is that Donald Trump
is going to force people to defy to follow orders
that would otherwise not be legal. Very strange. The video
is very odd. This is sort of a mixing of
different sort of things. But if you haven't heard this,

(39:42):
I want you to hear this because it's a series
of just Democrats who are people who have served either
in the intelligence community or in the military itself, and
so this is what they're pushing now, and I think
it's a very very odd sort of a thing that
they're doing. Let a rip.

Speaker 9 (40:03):
I'm Senator Alissa Socket, Senator Mark Kelley, Representative Chris Deluzios,
Congressman That Ega Land.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Your Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe. I was a
captain in the United States Navy.

Speaker 9 (40:14):
Former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger.

Speaker 10 (40:18):
Former intelligence officer.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Former Air Force. We want to speak directly to members
of the military.

Speaker 9 (40:23):
And the intelligence community who take risks each day keep
Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and
pressure right now.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Americans trust their military with that trust is at risk.
This administration is hitting our uniform military.

Speaker 11 (40:36):
And intelligence community.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Professionals against American citizens like us. You all swore an
oath to pretend and to then this constitution.

Speaker 10 (40:44):
Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
from a broad but from right here at home.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 9 (40:53):
You can refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
You must refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant. Whether you're serving in
the CIA, the Army, or Navy Air Force, your vigilance
is critical. I know that we have your back because
now more than ever, the American people need you. We
need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution.

Speaker 7 (41:19):
And who we are as Americans.

Speaker 12 (41:21):
Don't give up.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Don't give up. Don't give up.

Speaker 10 (41:24):
Don't give up the ship.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
I have no idea where this thing came from, Like
this came out of like left left, far hard left field.
Is anybody aware of the United States military being deployed
in cities and violating laws. See this is where you
get the erosion over time. The people who are in

(41:52):
command are the people who are in command, and these
other people who are trying to do this thing with
this messaging. This is something totally different. Now, I'm wondering
if they're trying to confuse the average person by by
making them think that the Border Patrol and ICE are

(42:17):
are military operations. They're not. They're they're not they're not
at all. Customs and Border Patrol does customs, and Border
Patrol ICE does ice. But these folks seem to be
trying to set something off. What would it be and why?
What would it be? And why again, President Trump's not

(42:39):
trying to go and you know, go, is is it
possible that this whole thing with Venezuela is getting getting
these people all riled up? I mean, I don't I
don't understand exactly what the upside to this thing is.
And obviously we're gonna have to go back and look
and see, Okay, who funded it. It got funded some

(43:00):
some particular way. We have to find out who it
is that's behind that. It's probably you know, somebody read Hoffman,
or maybe it's a maybe it's a Soros guy or
or something like that. But it's a very strange thing
to to suddenly come up and say, hey, don't follow orders, Well,

(43:22):
what orders are are being followed with these people who
are basically, I think retired. So what are we doing?
What are we What are we doing with this? This
is the kind of stuff that's that runs on CNN,
runs on Miss NBC, runs on on these channels, And

(43:46):
it does feel to me almost solicitous in a way, like, hey, hey,
be sure you don't do what they're telling you to do.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Jen says, what they're doing is seditious, this is treason.
Somebody else with a comment here saying advising a bunch
of twenty year olds or twenty somethings to take it
upon themselves to decide if an order is unlawful is
a terrible idea. They're not constitutional lawyers. All they're doing

(44:20):
is going to get a bunch of kids in trouble
for a long time. I agree with you one hundred percent.
Let's talk about this, all right, ladies and gentlemen. It's
you know what it is. It's the Southern Christmas Show.
Courtesy of Craft body Scan. Craft body Scan wants to

(44:43):

Good luck. All right, let's do this. Let's jump out
and talk to JD. JD. Welcome to the show. What's

(45:27):
on your mind?

Speaker 8 (45:28):
Hey, Brett, how's it going.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
I'm doing well.

Speaker 8 (45:31):
One of those great knowledgeable senators that made that video,
it's actually one of my senators here in Michigan.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
It is.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Yes, I'm watching a move.

Speaker 8 (45:40):
I'm watching a show about the American Revolutionary War was
by Ken Burns, which is really amazing. And I'm just
thinking about what happens if somebody didn't like Washington just
said to the soldiers, hey, to fly orders and just
don't do anything. It's to think that the people that
made an oath protective country comes out with a video

(46:02):
like this just makes my blood boil. To all the
soldiers that are risking their lives play so much, and
where were they when the thirteen people were killed in Afghanistan.
They still have not been saying anything about that. Still
have not been saying about that. That's true, And it's

(46:24):
just it's getting me really upset.

Speaker 13 (46:27):
If there's any veterans out there, please run against these people, Yes,
veterans with hard time knowing what combat is actually like.
Please run against all these people that were faced in
the videos. Please please run against them. Yeah, I mean,
you got a great shot. And number number two another
thing that's got me laughing is the Marxist poll that's

(46:48):
in there saying that the Democrats have fourteen point advantage.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yes they do, that's it.

Speaker 8 (46:54):
Are Are they on drugs? Because the whole thing, the
whole thing with the situation when the shut down, Yeah,
I don't think a lot of people are happy about
being stranded in the airports and losing the lights and
losing their snap benefits to the party that actually sat
there and blocked it every single way trying because they're
just trying to stall Trump's thing. It's just it really

(47:19):
gets me frustrated, Like every single day I see something
more stupid and stupid coming out of this Democrat party.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
It's because it's because what they're doing the reason why
they're doing this is that they've got the laser pointer
on the wall and they want us to chase it
like like we're a cat. And the reality is we're
not playing that game anymore. That's that's the that's the fact.
I mean, we're just we're not playing any of that
game anymore. And you know the idea that you're going

(47:46):
to come these people, bring, bring these people in and
they're going to say things like, oh, make sure you
only follow lawful, lawful orders and all this sort of stuff.
It's going to confuse younger people. It's going to create problems.

Speaker 8 (48:00):
And the orders, the orders they are falling are protecting
the United States. These drug votes that are getting.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Blown up in the See, that's what it is, drugs.

Speaker 8 (48:08):
I don't want those drugs coming onto our onto our shore.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
So what we know, So what we know, here's what
we know, right, we know that these six congress people
want more narcotics coming in to kill our people. So
it's Alyssa Alyssa Slotkin, Alyssa Slotkin and Mark Kelly and
Chris Deluzio and Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Hulahan and Jason Crowe, right,

(48:35):
they're part of this, and they don't like Trump's illegal orders. Okay,
so you guys want drugs flowing into our communities and
people overdosing exactly.

Speaker 8 (48:46):
And another thing too, is the whole Democrats voting not
to censure of Plaska. It just shows you what kind
of party. But anyways, but I hope you have a
great Thingva.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Thank you too. I appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (48:56):
Jada.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
You're a great caller, always, always good caller, Always like
talking to you. But here's the thing. Responding to the
video on x close, advisor Stephen Miller wrote, Democrat lawmakers
are now calling openly for insurrection. Senator Eric Schmidt, Republican Missouri,
summed up the situation in a post that read, at

(49:19):
the end of the day, they're mad the American people
chose Trump, and now they're calling on the military and
intelligence commutiny to intervene. Sounds a little subversive to democracy ish,
it's big. There's a lot of people that are really
mad about this. I mean like they're furious about this.

(49:42):
They're saying, you know, what are you doing with the military.
What if Donald Trump had lost the election and he
was putting out missives about hey, don't follow the don't
follow the orders. You know you need to do this,
You need to do that. This is the problem we're
dealing with this. This is what goes for policy now.

(50:06):
It's why I started the show the way I started
the show, because we have to understand that we're slowly
but surely losing grip of things. Here, let me give
you an example. This is cut forty one. This is
Brooke Rollins, she's the AG Secretary. I played a couple
of clips from her yesterday, but I really like what

(50:27):
she's saying here. Very it's a very concise sort of
an argument. She was talking to Larry Cudlow. Here's cut
forty one. Please go, hey, I have a handy dandy chart.

Speaker 9 (50:37):
I was getting to the affordability piece of SNAP. Almost
forty percent increase under Joe Biden of what was spent
in the people that entered the food stamp slash SNAP program.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
That's forty percent.

Speaker 9 (50:50):
Of course, they were working to buy the election. But
what we have seen and what doze in our amazing
team at USDA, one hundred and eighty six thousand dead
people are receiving snapfits.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Half a million people.

Speaker 9 (51:02):
Are getting paid twice We've made hundreds of arrests.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
We have a lot more to do.

Speaker 9 (51:06):
But this was I think an unattended, unintended consequence of
the Democrats shutting the government down for forty three days.
Is it shined this very bright light on one of
their pet programs and now has given us a platform
to completely deconstruct the program, make sure those vulnerable Americans
who really need that benefit are.

Speaker 7 (51:26):
Going to get it, and for all the.

Speaker 9 (51:27):
Rest of the fraudsters and the people who are corrupt
and taking advantage of it, we're going to protect the taxpayer.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Twos Hey, this is my recital. I think it's very vital.

Speaker 10 (51:40):
That's right on top, right, that's right on time.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
It's chicken.

Speaker 14 (51:47):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
It's my favorite time of the week when I get
to catch up with coach Matt Doherty. It's a pleasure
to welcome him back to the program. And the coach
is a coach, and he's also a coach. How you doing, Coach, great,
good to be back on the show with you. It's
great to be with you. Let me ask this question
of you. Are you surprised by what we're seeing in

(52:10):
the streets of Charlotte and the the the back and
forth that is happening here? How should we digest this? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (52:18):
Well, unfortunately, Uh you know, I think we're like any
other democratic, democratically run size you know, significantly sized city,
and uh you know, you get the same politics involved.
I mean I'm not surprised, disappointed, not surprised.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
So when when you look at this, I mean, look
you you you travel to a lot of different cities,
New York, you know, other places. What are we looking
at here? Because obviously people are very upset. But laws
are the laws, and how do we how do we
kind of you know, spit spit this thing into or

(53:00):
split this thing into how it's got to be processed?

Speaker 14 (53:04):
Yeah, I think that.

Speaker 6 (53:07):
The law is the law right and these you've you know,
you can't change with a snap of the finger. It
takes a process if you want to change certain laws.
And I think that they just want something to fight
and they can justify saying, you know, the humanize it.

(53:28):
We all, you know, may have come in contact with
someone who is here illegally. We don't know. We hate that.
There are threats that people feel threatened that they will
be deported. But if you're entered here illegally, there are
opportunities to turn yourself in, get paid I think two

(53:48):
thousand dollars, get sent home, and then you can enter
in legally. Now you say, well, I'd rather just take
the chance to stay here and I have to move
and go through all that and no guarantee off and
re entry into our country. But our nation is a
set of rules. And there are some very good people

(54:12):
here that are here illegally and doing good work and
adding to the community. But amongst them, you know, from
what I read, two hundred and fifty illegals were arrested
in Charlotte as of yesterday, So amongst them, there's some
bad people. And to clean it out, you have to
fix it. You have to go through this process, and

(54:36):
you know, if not, we are not as safe as
a city. And there's also an economic train that hits
the tax payers. Somebody's paying for this right and you know,
we just we've got to take care of our own
and people can come in.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Legally, and look, a lot of this is also part
of the issue with trafficking. Nobody wants to see women, girls, boys,
men being trafficked and uh and and being you know,
caused to be part of slavery. I mean, this is
this is a really scary thing.

Speaker 6 (55:13):
Yeah, that's you know, I don't think that's covered enough.
The human trafficking, Uh, it's real. Uh, it's happening all
over the world and in our country. I mean you
you know, you and I have have known actors like
Jim Caviezel who's in that movie American Uh John blank

(55:37):
on the title of the movie. But it is real.
Uh Sounds of Freedom I think it was called. And
you know they're bad people, They're bad people in all
walks of life. But when you have people entering into
our country illegally, uh, and we have the tools to

(55:58):
remove them, I don't understand the justification. Now if it's
done with unduly force and you know they're breaking some
type of law in the way that they manage the

(56:18):
removing the illegals from our country, then aggress it. But
you know, to have protests and threatening these ICE agents,
shooting at these ICE agents, throwing debris at these ICE agents.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
It's it's disheartening for me to see it. But I'm
not surprised.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Where do people go to to get coached by you? Coach,
because I know you do a great job.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
With folks thank you. I'm an executive coach, do keynote talks,
enjoy it and fulfilling work. I can be reached at
Darty coaching dot com. That's d O h e r
t Y coaching dot com.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
All right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna pivot you to basketball,
but not not to the college ranks. I'm going to
go to the pro ranks. Last last night, Lebron James
came out playing in his twenty third season. That is that?
That for whether or not people like Lebron or like

(57:20):
the way he plays or any of that sort of stuff,
My gosh, have you have you ever seen somebody who's
been able to pull that off for that for that
amount of time.

Speaker 6 (57:28):
Well, you know, I'm sure if you look at the details,
it is I'm assuming a record, right. The only other
player that I think played twenty plus years was probably
Korean Dul Jabbar at a high level. And what Lebron
has done, He's a freaquent nature, you know, in terms

(57:51):
of his physique and the way he takes care of
himself to be able to do that. I'm laughing, you
know that age just you know, it used to hurt
me just to play a pickup game three, but to
do that in an NBA game is pretty remarkable.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
One of the one of the one of the reporters,
as you know, give him, gave him the stat that
he has seven players on his team that were not
born when he was when he was starting, they were
they were way, way, way a twinkle in the eye,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (58:32):
Yeah, No, as I look it up, it is a
record setting twenty third season in the NBA. Wow, that
is truly amazing. And that's a tribute to his work
ethic and discipline and probably you know the the travel
yep like you know, Michael Jordan was a rookie. Michael

(58:54):
had a travel commercial. Yes, and he told me a
story is for like road trip and back then they
had to take their first flight out in the morning
because if they were delayed, they wanted to make sure
they got their time for the game. So he was
on a plane, sitting in coach and he said, the
person sitting next to him was smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
There you go, there you go, what a difference. Holy cow?
Well you know what you lather up with the blue
EMU or whatever I mean, then you'd be all right.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
Yeah. So you know, can I get a Can I
get a draw in that camel? I'm getting ready to
fly out of Chicago to Milwaukee, Wow wow and play tonight.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Holy cat.

Speaker 6 (59:38):
Those guys back then they coaches and players.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Heck yeat cigarettes and halftime who coach? Great stuff. Let's
do it next week? All right, my friend?

Speaker 6 (59:46):
All right, thank you brother, you got it.

Speaker 12 (59:48):
Dartycoaching dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
I am so, I am so mad to kill the music.
I don't need this music, all right, turn it back up.
I can't.

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
I don't understand what's wrong with our country. Kill it? Oh,
I am this is the sty I just saw the
stupidest thing that I think I have ever seen. I
think I just I saw. My name's Brett Winterble. How
are you. I'm gonna I'm gonna read you this and

(01:00:47):
you have to help me because I don't. This is
not nothing with illegals. Nothing of that may as well,
but not that. Okay, Am, I take a breath. I'm
gonna take a cleansing breath. So you know the White House,
you know what the White House looks like, and then
you know right next to the White House is the
Executive Office Building. Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen it. It's

(01:01:08):
kind of it's kind of like it's a kind of
a looks like a palace next to it, but it's
just for offices and stuff. Get a load of this.
This is despicable. Judge Dabney L. Friedrich female ordered Trump

(01:01:30):
not to power wash the filthy Eisenhower Executive Office Building,
the EEOB next to the White House. The President has
been talking about cleaning it and restoring it since his
first term. This judge likes it dirty and grimy and filthy. Listen,

(01:01:54):
listen to this. Just in Trump administration agrees not to
repaint or powerwash the Eisenhower Executive Office Building through December
thirty first, allowing the judge more time to consider a

(01:02:16):
lawsuit opposing the repainting plan. What is that? What is that?
There's got it? We have to have a march. We
have to have a march. We have to march peacefully
from all all over the place and speak out. What
who are these judges? Who were these cold? Somebody tell

(01:02:39):
me who these judges are. This is a person if
if you saw her, you'd be like, oh, totally, I
get it. That's exactly the person that doesn't want the
building to be clean. We want it to be dingy, filthy, awful.
That's what they want. Who like who appointed her? She
should I'm just telling you right now she ought to be.

(01:03:00):
Just Just send her out, fire her, investigat her, find
out she's got it. She must have stepped off the
wrong curb at some point or something. I mean this,
ladies and gentlemen, I mean this is insane. And it's
because the only reason I'm upset about this, and it's
not about the building, it's about this is how they

(01:03:23):
hamstring you with illegal aliens, with people coming into the
country that are not supposed to be here, Losing three
hundred thousand kids, you know, all the kind of stuff
that's going on. And it's because they've got an inside rocket, period.
And it's awful. It's awful. This is why you can't

(01:03:43):
I'm telling you, this is why you can't start businesses.
This is why you can't live in an apartment do
whatever you want to do. We live the United States
of America has become the biggest open air hoa in
the world, where you get the old biddy's coming in,
going ah, you're not.

Speaker 6 (01:04:03):
Is that a.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Christmas ornament that I see in the window. It's not
Christmas time yet you can't do that. It's like that
that a meal person I was talking about earlier wants
to keep all the illegals, but doesn't want to have
them in white Landia, doesn't want to have them in
her neighborhood, wants to you know, just somebody else's problem.
I really have had it. Maybe you haven't, but I've

(01:04:25):
had it. Have you had it with the hoa mentality? Well,
you know, we were walking in front of your house
and there was a leaf that was right there on
the sidewalk, and unfortunately that's going to be a seventy
dollars five really, really, Okay, this is a problem. This
is a problem. Look, I've got a great person who

(01:04:47):
just popped in here, and I agree with this person.
This judicial supremacist activist judge is just another part of
the democratic machine that will do anything, no matter how ridiculous,
to try and hurt President Trump in some way. It's
bordering on absolute idiocy. No, we have to make it

(01:05:10):
understood that it's not about Donald Trump. It's about you
and me and everybody else who wants to see the
country do well, that's the problem. And this judge is
just that. This is a judge. That's just a clown.
She's a clown. I'm gonna you know what, mister President,

(01:05:32):
somebody get this to him. Pressure washer it. Just wash it,
wash it and retain all of the soap and the
bubbles and everything. Put it in the back of an
oil truck and drive it to her house and leave
it on her porch. Say listen, all the evidence is

(01:05:53):
still here. It's just not on the building. I've cleaned it.
It is clean. Now you do what you want with
that water. That's what we should do because the only
reason why these people have power is because we let
them have power. Period. That's what this is. It's nuts.

(01:06:14):
Stand welcome to the program. What's on your mind? How
you doing today, Bres I'm awesome, Okay, I want.

Speaker 15 (01:06:21):
To I get a point across the end. The legal
aliens coming in here. They're making cheap they're working for
cheaper wages.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Of course.

Speaker 15 (01:06:31):
Okay, So they have these people, these businesses, have the
partners in Congress.

Speaker 16 (01:06:36):
And what the comp what they do this one they
said there was.

Speaker 15 (01:06:39):
The criteria for qualifying for social programs in a system
like SNAB and Saxon a vouchers. They set it high
enough for incomes so that we as taxpayers wind up
through taxes the social programs subsidizing those wages via tax dollars,
but the companies get to make them up.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that that that's true. Uh,
but we've got Look, nobody wants to send anybody home.
That's the problem. That the fundamental problem is nobody wants
to send anybody home because everybody wants free stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:07:17):
And the thing about it is is we think that
we're paying cheaper when we go to the store. We are,
but we can't compute the increased in taxes, like what
the the current stamps being big. Yes, that's taken away
that we right being taken away. The Democrats to shut

(01:07:39):
down the government because they wanted over. Yeah, they want
money to help them because they're working.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Well, of course they are, yeah, yeah they are. And
what do they say, what is the old saw that
everybody says all the time, Well, you know, uh, Americans
aren't going to work for that wage, so let's just
bring the other people in. No, you end up with
a completely different man. Stand great stuff. One great comment
in here that I have to applaud on the on

(01:08:06):
the thing with the cleaning of the eeob Brett. Hopefully
President Trump and his administration will learn from the latest
issue where the judge has blocked the cleaning of the
Eisenhower're building quote. They need to keep their mouth shut
and conduct their business without telegraphing ahead of time what

(01:08:28):
they were going to do. Thank you, you are exactly
the right person. I don't know who you are, but six'
two is the end of your, number AND i gotta

Yeah that was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
WOW i should have known when he was doing, it
like the super mellow. Thing all, right let's get back
on track, here very very very. Nice. TRY i guess,
tried he. Tried what IF i told you That Brandon.
Johnson are you guys familiar With Brandon? Johnson brand Not Howard.
Johnson Brandon, johnson he's the mayor of the city Of.

(01:10:37):
Chicago i'm gonna let you hear. This i'm not going
to comment on. It you tell me what he's. Saying
Brandon johnson cut thirty nine. Please so we know that.

Speaker 11 (01:10:50):
The intentional attacks that are coming from The trump administration
and the extreme right in this country has very much
been WHAT i call is it's an attempt to relitigate
The Civil.

Speaker 10 (01:11:01):
War.

Speaker 11 (01:11:01):
Right they have not accepted the results that The north actually. Won,
right because if you look at all of the, attacks
it's not just black. Cities he's going after, education, housing,
transportation good paying, jobs and. Healthcare those are literally the
five demands of descendants of slaves Post Civil. War so
it's evident that they are not you committed to actually
realizing the full dream of what this country can.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Offer so he, thinks so he thinks that New york
wasn't Part so he's thinking That New york wasn't part
of the The Civil war Because Donald trump is From New.
York Donald trump's A New york. Guy New york was

(01:11:45):
definitely part of The. Union, see this is what happens
when you try to get to half too cute by
half because he's trying to try to make a point
and it's really a weak like a super weak. Point oh,
man is it time a serious? Question is it time

(01:12:08):
that we just kind of fold Up chicago and kind
of parse it out to other states BECAUSE i JUST
i don't understand what this guy's plan. Is it's a dangerous.
Place we try to help him. Out he gets offended
that we're trying to help him. Out it's just one
of those things where you just sit back and you, say,
well wait a, minute why are You why are you so?

(01:12:28):
Mad why are you so mad about people being? Safer
if you go and talk to the people Of, chicago
the people who live in the south, side those, folks
then we're not talking about the high end. Part we're
talking about the south. Side the south side wants to be,
safe wants to be. Safe let's see What rocana has to.

(01:12:49):
Say this is cutting number thirty Three, Rocana, Right rocana
is reacting and he doesn't want to react to, it
but he has to react to it because, currently in
case you didn't, Know Hakeem jeffries got money from a
guy Called. Epstein cut number thirty three letter rip.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Don't step down as.

Speaker 7 (01:13:30):
LEADER i have to look AT i have to look
at what you're. Saying is the first time hearing about.
It but he should certainly return the money or donate the.
Money and it's the first time honestly hearing about.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
It he doesn't he doesn't know where the money, is
how it. Goes maybe he should give it back to
a dead. Man give the money back To Hakeem jeffries

(01:15:31):
really happy to welcome to the program somebody who's got
a real handle on what it is we're looking at
in terms of the. Affordability AND i got to tell
you right out of the box, here it's an, incredible
incredible thing to think about what we're seeing in this.
Country AND i want to Welcome John, hartley policyfellow at

(01:15:54):
The Hoover. Institute he's a senior fellow at the McDonald
Laurier institute and he's a stand FOR. PhD thanks so
much for joining us here, Today thank you for your.

Speaker 14 (01:16:03):
Time thanks so much for having me on there to be.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Here talk a little bit about what we're seeing out
here about affordability and how that's manifesting and how can
we get more growth and all of that sort of special.

Speaker 8 (01:16:17):
Things oh, yeah, well.

Speaker 14 (01:16:20):
First, starters we're seeing inflations continue to come back. Down
over the past year Since president's taken. Office you've seen
inflations now at three percent year over, year which is
markedly lower than what it was at the peak in
twenty twenty, two and is around eight percent during the buying.

(01:16:43):
Era and much of, this you, know has to do
with you, KNOW i, mean the fact that inflation got
so high to do with, it and part had to
do with suttlers or policy being so slow to respond
to the big increase in prices that we saw a
few years. Ago and what's, unfortunate it's you, know the
uh one not only you, know it's the fat too

(01:17:03):
slow to, act but, ultimately uh you, know they couldn't
reverse those price increases. Either so so ONE i think
one thing THAT'S i think a positive that that's on
the horizon is that there's going to be fellows or
leadership change By may and next. YEAR J, powell, uh
you who preside over the save percent inflation. Increase you,
know we'll be leaving and you the present will appoint

(01:17:27):
his success. Or we still don't know who that person would.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
Be.

Speaker 14 (01:17:32):
LIKELY i think that decision will be made uh in
the in the coming. Months but one, uh, yeah THE
fed definitely played a huge role in in keeping prices
low and. Sable and why that is such an important important? Decision?
Uh and in the second you know one of you,
know you mentioned pro growth. Policies we had the one,

(01:17:53):
big beautiful build that was passed In july this. Year you,
know there's a lot on on the pro growth. Side for,
example uh, uh it puts full expensing for equipment FOR
r AND, d made that, permanent and for the first,
time it introduced for full expensingfrastructures for new. Buildings so
why is this? Important, well you, know incentivising firms to

(01:18:16):
invest more things like, property plant equipment leads to more,
jobs to lead to more more economic, growth higher, paychecks
and so another thing THAT'S i think. Important AND i
think that that's all happening alongside what's going on with
the general ay iBoom that we're experiencing right. Now and
we just saw just just about an hour ago the

(01:18:39):
n video earnings came out that exceed the. Expectations and
what that tells us is that h this GENERAL i,
boom it's it's full Continuing and what does that. Mean you,
know it's not just a boom to the tech. Sector,
uh anyone who's using these, Tools anyone who can use
things like CHANGING bouti or or. Lot they're benefiting from

(01:19:01):
these productivity. Games so one users can write things more,
quickly get things done more more quickly at work in
their productivity, hands and their pay should should follow. Accordingly
but on top of, that there's massive energy needs that
to train these, models so all over the. Country, uh

(01:19:22):
you know that there's a massive increasement demand for energy
that that those needs will have to be, met and
that means more. Hiring and then on top of that
and all these new data centers that are being, built
you know that they're very much kind of like real estate,
plays but you know that that involves a lot of
hiring as well in building bul the infrastructure that supports
the ONGOING ai. Boom so all these things are. Happening

(01:19:43):
so you, know if you look at THE gdp, numbers for,
example in the second quarter of this, year we got
a real to chief your growth number of three point
eight percent the third quarter of this. Year forecasts from
the Atlant fed GP gdp now meeters suggests that the
they're forecasting four point one percent REAL gdp, growth which

(01:20:04):
is both of these numbers are, substantial substantially higher than
the two percent average that we saw in the twenty
Ten so we're living through a capex productivity boom right,
now you, know WHICH i think will continue for some.
Time that's also been supported by the policies of The

(01:20:25):
president and The republican concrests In, congress and so you,
KNOW i think this is all all very. Positive and
my guest that inflation will continue to come, downward you,
know particularly is you, know we get new leadership at THE.
FT i think that's similar confident that we won't see
further inflation space in the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Future so CAN i ask you a, question because a
lot of people want to look at these at tariffs
and things like that as escapegoating sort of a. Thing
that's it's a, problem it's raising, prices it's all that
sort of. Stuff can you can you break that down
as as to why the tariffs are being? Effective, well,

(01:21:05):
ONE i mean.

Speaker 14 (01:21:06):
One thing that's interesting right now is that you, know
there's some evidence that the prices of imported goods are
actually not rising as much as as domestic. Goods is
you have to remember back In, april there was all
the stock market peer about how negative impact of the
tariffs would be and and and it turns out that

(01:21:28):
all that all that CONCERN i think was uh uh you,
know was overstretched uh to the. Least and and you,
know you see what what's happening now, is you know
again you, know we're seeing some you, know some of
the mass some of the BIGGEST gdp prints uh successfully
that we've seen uh in quite some. Time you, KNOW

(01:21:49):
i think it's a lovely you, KNOW i think teriffs
that you, know we're somewhat misunderstood in the sense that you,
know there being a. Tool they're being used as a
tool to promote more free, trade in the sense that you,
know right, now if you were to import something From
india uh into THE, us there's basically no. Tariffs previously
there were essentially no terriff on. It but if you

(01:22:10):
were to export something To, India india puts massive tariffs
ON us. Exports and so you could argue THAT i
think there's a good case you made that that's not
fair and it's not free. Trade and so by using
uh these chris as a tool to reset the global trade,
arrangement it, work you, know essentially sort of going back

(01:22:31):
to you, know the sort of the pre WT O
gang era and sort of resetting, uh you, know a
new starting point for trade, negotiations to bring down these
these tariff barriers on both sides that promote free and for.
Training AND i think THAT'S i think the market is
starting to understand that. NOW i think that's part of
why the markets have come back so, much that that,

(01:22:55):
ultimately you, know this is about promoting uh a fair
and free reciprocal, trade right and and and that's and
that's what's. Happening so so that that would sort of
be my my explanation for what's been going.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
On that's a great it's a great. Explanation where where
do people go to follow you and to, uh you,
know look at look at the great things that that
you're you're talking.
