Speaker 1 (00:16):
And welcome. It is the Brett Winterbowls Show. What O
seven point nine FMWBT, Charlotte's FM News Talk. It is
great to be with you. Just got the information in
the last couple of minutes that the President of the
United States is going to give an address tomorrow. We
don't know what it's going to be. My guess is
it's going to be something involving the economy and stuff

(00:38):
like that. But he's He's asked for the time, and
I'm sure that they're going to give him the time
for that particular moment. So we are going to go
across the entirety of all the stories that are moving
right now, and I certainly want to invite you to
be a part of the conversation. And that telephone number,

(00:58):
as always is seven four five seven zero one seven
nine to check in with us. You can also hit
us up on the WBT text line driven by Liberty
Buick GMC, same phone number, either one you can you
can just send us messages and whatnot. So I'm sitting

(01:18):
back here and I'm thinking about all the stuff that
has happened now. I'm not gonna start with the Rob
Ryner stuff. I'm not gonna start with with any of that.
I want to go to a very specific place that
I think is important. And what we're dealing with in
this regard is choice. Now, what does choice mean to you?

(01:40):
And some some people are gonna tell you, Yeah, the choice,
the choice is that's the abortion thing, right, Isn't that
what choice is? Well, it could be. It could be
you might be able to purchase something and say, hey,
this thing is so great. It's choice. That's an old
sort of term that was utilized back in the eighties

(02:00):
upon a time. I'm talking about people choosing their decisions,
choosing their approach. And one of the interesting stories that
I'm looking at here is about what happened with the
electric cars. You guys remember the electric cars? Do you

(02:21):
guys remember all that sort of stuff where where we
were supposed to go out and buy electric cars. We
were supposed to push all this sort of stuff and
make sure that we are protecting the environment. Now, you
and I both know that President Biden had no idea
about what this was and how this was going to come.

(02:46):
But the fact of the matter is you have big corporations,
massive corporations, people who are who are sitting back and
are saying, you know what, you know what, we really
took it bad. These electric cars are not as popular
as we thought they were going to be. And remember
the mandates are very important in this regard. This is

(03:07):
a lesson for all of us. Okay, this is a
lesson for every single one of us in this conversation
because the government said you needed to go buy an
electric truck or an electric car or any of that
sort of stuff. And you know, I saw earlier today
that Ford Ford is going to do a write down

(03:31):
of fifteen billion dollars. That is despicable, like that is
that is insanity. That is absolutely nuts that they would
burn all of that money because you have people who
are not inclined to understanding the markets. Now I give

(03:57):
you this particular offer, and you're gonna come back and say, yeah,
I don't want to buy an electric car. I don't
want an electric RV. I don't want an electric bode.
I don't want to electric because I want to have
strong horsepower. I want to have all this kind of
stuff that's going on and all of that. But the

(04:17):
same party, the same party that is commanding you to
buy electric vehicles, is the same party that is commanding
you give up your guns, get rid of your guns.
Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer is a despicable, despicable politician. And

(04:42):
I have this clip from from Chuck Schumer and he's
got he's got a take on what happened in Australia,
the massacre in Australia. He has, he has a lot
of ideas. He's got a ton of ideas. Give me
cutting umb Umber sixteen. Please can I have this? Please go?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
And separately, Congress must also take action against another poison
of our age, that of rampant gun violence. Australia is
no safety, is no stranger to gun safety legislation. They
famously took strong action in the nineteen nineties and saw
a gun violence plummet. Yesterday, Australia's Prime Minister said the

(05:24):
country will take another look at their gun safety laws
and see where they can make improvements. If Australia can
find courage to act after a tragedy like the one
in Bondi Beach, Congress should certainly find the will to
act after a tragedy like the one Brown University.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You have no right to say that because you're a clown,
because you're a clown. You shut the government down for
forty days and forty nights. You shut the government down,
and now you are about to crash the healthcare them
another command and control sort of thing coming out of
the government. Isn't that something? What is it? What do

(06:07):
you call somebody that tells you you have to go
buy an electric vehicle, that you have to surrender your guns,
and that you have to take less than good standard
medical coverage. What do you call a guy like that?
What do you call a person like that? I'll tell
you what you call him? And you ought to call

(06:28):
him this right on X a tyrant. Chuck Schumer is
a tyrant. We're supposed to go buy those those electrical cars.
We're supposed to go put our money down on that
sixty seventy grand Are you kidding me? Electric cars are
for fancy people, not regular people. Fancy people drive the

(06:50):
electric cars. Taslas Tasla's. And now he tells you you
can't have your gun. My god, he's losing his mind.
I'm telling you right now, because I've been talking to
a number of people. There are a lot of people
who are starting to strap up again. We're starting to say,
you know what, I don't know exactly what's gonna happen,

(07:11):
but when we have all these terrorists and the TILF
and all these other people, feel like I gotta protect
my family. Chuck Schumer is a tyrannical, a tyrannical person.
He refuses to recognize the underlying issue that's at hand,

(07:38):
and that is that is the idea that the American
people have the Second Amendment rights. This guy can't even
cook a cheeseburger, can't cook a hamburger without making it raw.
What is this guy? This man needs to retire and

(07:58):
go spend time in Queens. That's what he's got to
do because he is not allowed to be within a
one hundred yards of your safety and security. Don't forget
it was Chuck Schumer who broke the border. It was
Joe Biden who broke the border. It was Alejandro Majorcis
who broke the border. And now these guys are telling

(08:21):
us that we have to give up the firearms. No
thank you, no thank you your thoughts? Are you ready
to accept the creeping tyranny of the Democratic Party? Yeah,

(08:45):
I was dead right, I was dead right. Welcome back.
It's the Brettwiterable show. What a seven point nine FMWBT
Charlotte's FM News Talk. Ford's nineteen point five billion dollar
EV right now, the things that you need to know
about this, About eight and a half billion dollars is

(09:05):
tied to costs associated with killing the future EVS, including
a planned large pickup truck that was to be built
in Tennessee. Ford described the five billion dollars as additional
program related expenses. Of the total charges, only about five

(09:29):
and a half billion will be impacting cash, which Ford
said would be incurred next year and into twenty twenty seven.
Ford effectively is scrapping all of its next generation electric vehicles,
including the large pickup as well as some commercial vans.

(09:50):
That Tennessee plant, which was envisioned to eventually crank out
five hundred thousand EV trucks when Ford announced the deal
in the complex and twenty two twenty three will now
build gas powered trucks. Well, people want gas powered trucks.
The market wants this. Why do people in the government
think that they can force you to buy stuff? And

(10:12):
by the way, there is a there's a benefit to
this argument because whoever gets elected, if it's Harris that
gets elected, if it's Newsome or any of these other people,
and they command and demand that you run electric vehicles.
The companies are not going to do it because they're
going to be like listen, once bitten twice, shy and

(10:33):
no way know how Dawn, welcome to the program. What's
on your mind?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Done?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
So the easy mandate? So the government was making people
purchase TB car.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
They were making they were making the manufacturers to put
them out there.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yes, they're making the manufacturers make them for subsidies, for
government subsidies.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh yeah, subsidies as heck, yeah, absolutely, yes, indeedy.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
So if the companies did not want to make them
because it didn't go with their business plan, why I
made them?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well that's the big question, because they were getting pressured
by the Biden administration.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
But they got subsidies.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
They got subsidies, but they also they also were good
you know, basically job boned into playing the game. And
it's really one of those interesting things. It's a very
simple thing. I mean, you can figure this out very easily.
Before the bill, which was the Build Back Better before

(11:52):
the bill was spun off from the American Jobs Planned.
On April fifth, twenty twenty one, Senator Joe Manchin proposed, real,
we're raising the corporate tax rate from twenty one to
twenty five percent instead of the twenty eight percent that
Biden called for. Biden wanted you to build back better
by paying more in taxes. We dodged such a bullet, John,

(12:16):
Welcome to the program.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah, so I want to make sure I understood what
you said. I'm pretty sure you said. The same party
that commanded you to buy electric vehicle now wants to
take away your guns.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yes, is that right?

Speaker 6 (12:34):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
That's Chuck Schuman.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
As a listener, I find that I find that really
insulting that you can't and I feel kind of bad
for you that you can't put a little more nuance
to that. Can you maybe try again and try to
put a little.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Which which which part? Which which?

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Honest?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Which John? Which which part? John? Which part parts right?

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Which part?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Which part? Which part?

Speaker 6 (12:59):
Okay, we'll start with commanded you to buy electric build they.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Were they were put they were pushing it, go out
to California, go out to the different states. Yes, indeed,
absolutely no.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
They gave subsidies yes to people, and then then Trump
in his new bill is taking the subsidies away.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yes, which is which is which it's supposed to be.
Why make that's right? Right?

Speaker 6 (13:21):
So the government tried to incent people, yes, and then
the government took it away. And so now the manufacturers
are like, there's no incentive yes for the people too,
because we're taking this money away.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Right there you go, that was easy. I mean that
that's not a that's not a very difficult thing. I mean,
my god, John Breitbart, nice to talk to you. I mean,
this is this is the issue. And you heard Chuck
Schumer say he wants to take your guns. Now. I
mean you need to call Chuck Schumer and ask him
about it. He need to call Joe Biden and ask

(13:54):
him about it. And I know it's difficult, it's hard.
I would not want to be in the seat that
Chuck Schumer is sitting in because he has decided to
go to war when it comes to number one, your healthcare,
and he wants to pump out another three hundred billion

(14:15):
dollars into the system for stuff that does not work
in the way it was promised us number one. Number two, yes,
command and control when it comes to the Ford setups
and all of this sort of things. This is this
is an economy that runs on choice, not mandate. There

(14:38):
is no purpose in the mandate. That's the problem. And
so if you're not happy about that, well you're actually
in a better position because you're not going to be
forced to eventually go and say I'm going to be
a part of the electric revolution. I don't think it's

(15:00):
happen anymore, which is I think affirmatively a good thing.
But I mean, there are people who really like the
electric cars. Tesla, fine, go ride it, go drive it.
You got the money, go, that's awesome, God bless you.
You want to go get an electric vehicle. There are
electric vehicles that are on the market in a variety

(15:22):
of ways. But to go to Ford or to go
to GM, or to go to any of these other
places and say no, no, you need to start making
these sorts of vehicles, and we're going to pay you
with the subsidy, just like we're going to pay the
subsidy on the healthcare scam. I mean, come on, we

(15:44):
need a lot more private interest money going into the system,
not from Washington, DC. So the the upside to not

(16:05):
having the ev vehicles being uh, you know, the main
driver is the fact that once they go to retool
all this sort of stuff. The the the car companies
are going to be able to expense all of that stuff.
They're gonna be able to say, whoa, Okay, we just
took all that bad stuff from the Biden administration and
we're going on this this road instead. So I think

(16:26):
that is is a very interesting sort of dynamic when
when you when you think about where we are and again, look,
I don't hate choice. I embrace choice. I want choice,
but I don't want it at the at the expense

(16:47):
of people coming at you and telling you that you
have to buy this, you have to buy that. Remember
that that was the underlying issue when Obamacare came out.
Everybody must buy insurance. Well, okay, then what what if
I'm healthy? What if I don't need it? What if

(17:07):
I'm young, what if I'm lucky, what if I'm See,
when you have these things that compel you, you're losing
your freedoms, and that that shouldn't be the case. You
want to hear something that's very interesting. Even with the
end of the electric vehicle mandate sort of stuff, US

(17:29):
crude oil is closing at lowest level since early twenty
twenty one. As a looming surplus weighs on the market. Now,
who's got a problem? The Middle East has a problem.
Now Venezuela has got a problem. Now Iran's got a problem. Now.

(17:51):
The oil market is under pressure this year as OPEC
members have rapidly ramped up production after years of output cuts.
Investors are also pricing in lower geopolitical risk on a
possible peace agreement in Ukraine. Falling oil prices could also

(18:13):
be showing you a slowing economy. But is it Is
it a slowing economy? And if it is a slowing economy,
well then why don't we get Jerome pal out of
that job? And why don't we put somebody in who
wants to cut the rates, who wants to bring the
rates down. This is going to be a very interesting

(18:35):
second year of this administration, in their second term. I
think as you look moving forward that there's a lot
of upside that exists. Nobody wants to pay the prices
that are being paid out in California, I mean five
dollars a gallon, four fifty nine a gallon, all that

(18:58):
sort of stuff, and especially when you're driving around in
a lot of places they don't have that infrastructure with
the rails or with any of that sort of stuff.
That's a big deal. But the threat of supply disruptions
has loomed over the oil market since Russia launched its
full scale invasion of Ukraine in twenty twenty two. Kiev

(19:20):
has launched repeated drone strikes against Russian infrastructure this year,
and the US and the European allies are also targeting
Russia's crude with sanctions. That's why we took that boat
last week. Nobody's talking about that anymore. That's a very
interesting sort of deal that we were looking at. This

(19:42):
would significantly reduce the risk of near term Russian supply
disruptions and allow a sizeable volume of Russian oil currently
stored on the water to return to the market. So
these things are all moving in their own speed. Looking
at the ACA tax credits, KEYACA tax credits are likely

(20:06):
to expire after the House Speaker blocks the vote. That's
that's the takeover at CNBC. Key tax credits that reduce
the cost of the Affordable Care Act health insurance coverage
for millions of Americans looked likely to expire by the
end of the year after Speaker Johnson said that on

(20:26):
Tuesday that there would be no vote on extending the
subsidies this week. Why does he not want those subsidies?
He doesn't want those subsidies because you're talking about three
hundred billion dollars on an ongoing basis. That's a lot
of money. The House is not in session next week,
meaning that Johnson was not leaving the door open for
a later vote that boosted the ACA premium assistance that expires.

(20:52):
And by the way, there remains a chance that enough
Republicans in Johnson's majority caucus agree to back a Democrat
led effort to force an effective vote on extending the
tax credits for the Obamacare health plans. So this thing
is in massive flux and nobody knows how this is

(21:14):
all going to go. But this is what was designed
to fail. Why why would it be designed to fail?
Because what they hoped for in the early days of
the Obamacare stuff. Remember when they couldn't even get the
platforms to work. You couldn't log in, you couldn't do
any of that sort of stuff. A lot of older

(21:35):
people were very angry about that regard. And so when
you're looking at that challenge that's out there, and if
you go past the point. Now suddenly you have to negotiate. Remember,
Chuck Schumer vowed to shut the government down again. And

(21:56):
this is the sort of way where you can say, Okay, Chuck,
well we'll on January the second, when everything is expired,
and now you have to start really dealing. I mean,
that's that's the hardball nature. See, Chuck wants to tell
you to get rid of your guns. Chuck wants to

(22:17):
tell you to get rid of your gas, your gas stove,
wants to get rid of your your gas powered engine.
He wants all that sort of stuff. But he does
not want the spending to go away, and he does
not want to negotiate over the spending that needs to
go away. By the way, did you hear what AOC

(22:39):
said just in the last few hours. Let me let
you hear at twenty one cut twenty one, Please AOC,
she's got a plan for the healthcare cut twenty one.

Speaker 7 (22:51):
What I'm not going to do is tolerate four million
uninsured Americans because Donald Trump decided one day that he
wants to to just make sure that kids are dying
because they don't have access to insurance. That's what's not
gonna happen. And So if those senators think that we're
having a shutdown because of me, they're free to enter

(23:12):
my office and negotiate, because what we're not gonna do
is allow all of millions of people in this country
to not be able to afford their insulin and their chemotherapy.
So come strike a deal with me if that's what
they really think is going on.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
She's totally undermining Chuck Schumer, and she's in his district area.
I mean, come on, what are you doing. They know
what's coming next, they know what's coming next. The thing
that has them most nervous is the huge amount of
money that's gonna come into the system when we get

(23:44):
into twenty twenty six and beyond. I've got stuff on
that straight ahead as well. And it is the Brett

(24:05):
Water Bowl Show. You can reach out to us anytime
you want. You can spend time with us over at
the text line driven by WBT text Line driven by
Liberty Buick GMC. You can also reach out to us
on the phone. You can call. We'll take your calls.
We enjoy the conversation with this very smart audience from
where we're sitting here in Charlotte, all the way across

(24:29):
to wherever you're hearing us right now one seven point
nine FMWBT, Charlotte's FM News Talk. Let's take a look
at this story here for a quick second. And this
is something that shocked me when I first heard this
earlier in the day. So Mark Halprin does a lot

(24:52):
of independent reporting, and this is going to be cut
number twelve. Mark Halprin has information about Ella Cook, who
was the person that was murdered at Brown and this
is something that, if this is true, will make your

(25:17):
head kind of spin around. Cut number twelve.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
Please the family of I just need to look up
her name, iy Ella Cook. I think, thank you, mart,
thank you, thank you that the family of Ella Cook.
The Alabama a young woman who was a sophomore has
been told that she was the target of what happened
to Brwan. I have no idea whether that's true. There's
other theories about why the person did what they did,

(25:43):
but now that we don't know who the assailant is,
it's going to be harder to say. But if it's
true that she was targeted, that's a big story because
she was one of the most visible conservatives on that campus.
Don't know that it's true but probably most of you
don't even know that that's being alleged because you'd have
to follow certain accounts on acts or have sources as

(26:03):
I do are telling me that. So, Amber, if she
was targeted, and again we don't know that, but if
she were targeted, what would the implications of that be.

Speaker 9 (26:14):
Well, I'll start with a couple of things that I
think lend credence to that theory. Which is one, typically
when we see maskul shooters, they don't just stop and
walk away, right. Usually they keep going until they're apprehended
by police, shot dead, or they kill themselves.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
Amber, let me just stop you. I should have been clear.
She was the number two person at the Young Republicans
branch on Brown's campus. So that's why that's why some
people are concerned if she were targeted. Go ahead, and Amber,
I apologize right well.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
And the other thing is if the police are telling
Brown students that they are safe, they don't have to
shelter in place anymore, but they don't have a suspecting custody.
I think that also suggests that this was some kind
of targeted attack. Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised, you know,
when I was on campus. At Georgetown, I was chair

(27:04):
of the College Republicans. I had to report multiple threats
against me in my final two years on campus.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
One of the things about this that's disturbing in the
extreme is the fact that you are not allowed to
deviate from the mandated opinion set up at these colleges

(27:34):
and universities. I've seen this. I've seen this a whole bunch.
I speak to people on colleges at universities. They'll invite
me because it's hard to find conservatives that we'll talk
to people, especially people who are young and are, you know,
curious about the world of politics. And my alma mater

(28:00):
I hit him back, you know, probably three four times,
maybe five times a year, because it's hard to find
conservatives in places like brown in places like Boston, in
places like New York's a little easier, I think in
DC's easier, but there is no exposure in any kind

(28:21):
of a way. And when you think about if that's
actually what happened, because remember what they said in the
aftermath of the shooting. They said that somebody yelled something
like they said somebody had yelled something out, but nobody
will cop to what it was. The cop there that's

(28:42):
in charge in Providence does not want to say what
was said. Nobody else apparently wants to say what was
what was declared after or right before the the shot
took place or the shooting took place. So, I mean,
there are a number of people who were wounded, and

(29:04):
this person is somebody that seems to have been settled
upon as as the target. So imagine if you didn't
know her name, right, if you didn't know what her
name was. Because it's a campus and you know, you're
just doing your own thing, you're taking a test or
you're in the class or whatever it is, and somebody
comes in and goes, hey, ella, and you only hear

(29:28):
that once. Are you gonna like put two and two together?
You're gonna be like, well, what did that? What did
he say?

Speaker 10 (29:35):
What?

Speaker 11 (29:35):
What?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
How did that? What did the guy do? How did
that go? What did that happen? This is what's really
strange about this entirety. So in terms of what you think,
in terms of how how how you look at this,
what what do you think is going on? Because we've
got this large guy walking around, hanging around, walking around
the campus and then suddenly he's gone. Was this Was

(30:00):
this a thrill kill? Was this something like uh like
a message like what what? What is this? What? What
is this? I mean, I can't even I cannot even
imagine that. If that's the case, If that's what happened,
it's absolutely heartbreaking. Absolutely all right, we got another hour

(30:24):
straight ahead. The song you know what this? You know
what this song about? What the song's about? Coming down

(30:47):
the mountain skiing right here? Coming hour number two underway
And that's for you, that song. I just am so
happy to be here behind this microphone and I got
to tell you one O seven point nine FMWBT, Charlotte's
FM News Talk, a pleasure to be with you. If

(31:09):
you wish to opine. Our telephone number is of course
very easy, seven oh four five seven zero one seven nine,
and you can send us notes over on the on
the transom, or you can come in and call and
have a perspective, have a thought, give us your your take.

(31:29):
It's very interesting now we were talking about the targeting
of that young woman who who possibly may have been
the intended target, but we don't know yet and we
will not know that until we get the offender behind bars, right,
So that that's one of the issues, but Stan always

(31:49):
like when Stan calls Stan's point this hour is this
He says, from a moral perspective, I'm for and believe
in the death penalty for one and one reason. That's
for premeditated decision to take someone's life. In conversations I've
had with people regarding this subject, most feel that way

(32:12):
morally as well. Yet most are still against the death
penalty overall because they currently or because they currently don't
trust our social justice oriented judicial system to get it
right and thus don't want someone to pay the ultimate

(32:33):
price due to the perceived political injustices currently inherent in
our legal system. Your thoughts are appreciated. My thought on
this is this is a very difficult decision to make
because as a Christian, I've always said, you know, if

(32:54):
you take a life, you have to pay the ultimate price.
The ultimate price can be one of two things. You
can be in jail for the rest of your life
and you never ever get out until you pass away,
and even then they ought to bury you in the
in the jail cell anyways, or or you can sit

(33:16):
back and you can say, no, look, there's a reason
that these people need to be put away permanently. With
no return ticket. That's the that's the debate in this regard.
Now you see the states around the country. There are
states that do not want the death penalty. There are
states that do want the death penalty. So that's that's

(33:40):
a difficult thing. Number One, You've got to be exactly
one hundred percent certain that this person did what they're
what they're charged with. Okay, there have been people in
the past who have made it out after twenty five
thirty five years behind bars and it turns out that

(34:00):
they were framed. It turns out that that it was
a it was a dirty prosecution that wanted to put
these people away for whatever reason. You have got to
be darn sure that the person that did it is
the responsible party for killing somebody. And the only way
you're going to get that, I think, is an actual

(34:21):
elocution where somebody says, yes, I did it, I did
it on purpose, I don't care, YadA, YadA, YadA. And
you know, you go back to Tim McVeigh. Remember Tim
McVeigh who bombed the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. He
copped to it, he said, yeah, I did it, I
did it, and then they executed him. It was a

(34:43):
very fast. He waived his appeals, I think, and they
they killed him because it was obvious that he was
the person that did that. But there's a lot of
other people who will will will will be on the
receiving end of of the commutations and things like that.

(35:04):
Joe Biden took auto pen out and let a whole
bunch of people off a death row, a whole lot
of them. And the question about that issue is did
he really do it or was this people doing pay
for play? What does this look like? This is a

(35:25):
this is a big, big issue. But when you think
about what we're seeing, especially what we've just seen it
at Brown, I can tell you this right now, the
Blue states in the Northeast are not going to They're
not going to execute. They have long ago decided that

(35:47):
they were not going to do any sort of execution.
I don't think that any of those states are are
are willing to do it. I know California doesn't do it.
I know, you know a lot of these these states,
the Blue states, do not want to be in the
business of taking people's lives. Now, I'm okay with that,

(36:11):
under one condition that the person is never going to
get out of of of prison that they're going to
spend their time, And I would put them in the
Florence Supermacs up in Colorado. I mean, you could go
put them there. You can't put them in a club fed,
you can't do any of that other kind of stuff.
You've got to make sure that they're going to be
taking big rocks and making small rocks day in and

(36:34):
day out for the rest of their lives, if that's
if that's what you want that to be. But you
know what, there's a lot of people out there. You
think about Luigi, that that that maniac, that that filthy killer,
that that guy. That guy's got him lined up around
the block and and he's he's been wrapped around their finger.

Speaker 11 (36:55):
Man.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
I mean, that is it. It is unbelievable. So that's
my position stance, and I'm happy to take yours. Welcome
back to the Brett Waterble Show. Good to be with you.
One O seven point nine FMWBT Charlotte's FM News Talk.

Speaker 12 (37:16):
UH.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Nathan Hockman is talking in Los Angeles. UH. The charging
decision has been made, charging the young Reiner with two
counts of first degree murder in the murders of his
parents and let's just listen to him right now.

Speaker 13 (37:39):
Uh, let's take the question back there.

Speaker 14 (37:42):
Yes, we had a radio go from fire department.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (37:51):
So in terms of how the Los Angeles Police Department
became aware, it was a request from the Los Angeles
Fire Department who responded to the scene. First, we responded
to their request for assistance at the scene of the incident.
Our initial Westly officers that responded determined that a crime
had occurred, and they immediately notified our Robert Hammins side division. Uh,

(38:12):
they've responded and they've taken over the investigations since that point.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
One more question, take it right here.

Speaker 16 (38:23):
You're hesitant to talk about sensitive evidence, but based on
the evidence.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Collector to support these charges, and that included an admission
by the defendant.

Speaker 13 (38:32):
So any statements made by the defendant at any point
in time would be the type of evidence we will
be presenting in court. Let me take one. I'll take
one last question right here. Hold on one second, I
just identified this gentleman. Sorry, you have.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
An intimated time for completion of the office the information
coming from a medical assignment of your.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
Office and to.

Speaker 13 (38:55):
We do not have the estimated time that it will take.
We know that they are working on it expedition viciously,
but as to when they deliver it, we do not
have that estimated time.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
I'll take that one last question back there.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
I was just wondering, I know these types of cases
are especially difficult. How much do you take into account
what the family wants when it comes to charges and
you're dealing with a domestic situation like that, and does
that factor into whether you will go after life at
parole or.

Speaker 13 (39:22):
Possibly defer in these cases, Like any of these cases,
we will take the thoughts and desires of the family
into consideration in making our decision.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Thank you all very much. Okay, that's the conclusion of
the presser right there. So that's Nathan Hockman. He's the
LA District Attorney, and boy, he is a breath of
fresh air relative to what we had before him. And
he's a very serious guy, and I think he's going
to be able to prosecute this effectively. Again, the LA

(39:57):
DA is charging Reiner with first degree murder, two counts
a first degree murder. Uh, and we will we will
continue to effort more information as it becomes available.

Speaker 17 (40:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Let's take a call out and jump out with Lillian.
Welcome to the program. Okay, I'm gonna put you on hold,
and uh you're you're you're hearing me coming through your radio,
So stick around there, we'll we'll let you catch back
up here in a moment. A lot of a lot
of messages, uh coming through here. Dean says, four people

(40:33):
on Earth and Cain killed able. The problem existed back
then and instead of trying to understand why we are
all we all we are doing is making it easier,
all right. That's that's one comment. Uh this is coming
in from let's see, uh Malcolm a k A Tater

(40:57):
so weird to hear you guys on one O seven
point nine and Charlotte, I'm sure I'm not the only
one who has said that. Lol. You know what we
we are on this station and it's it's a really
really fun place to be and we're spending a lot
of great time together with all the folks. We also
got from Alan. Alan says, too bad, Oh this is

(41:22):
this is kind of funny. Too bad the airwaves doesn't
reach Raleigh Durham as they'd be furious along with Boone.
Nobody's furious with us, Nobody, everybody's liking the stuff that
we've got on the station. I mean, come on, now,
that's that's very funny, Lilyan, what's on your mind.

Speaker 14 (41:41):
Scripture is very well, it's very very clear in the
Viticuts and in Doudalism and God that life is in
the blood, and you take a life, you give a life,
and the capital punishment was established by God. And it's
in the scripture. It's in the Old Testament. I'm bytically

(42:04):
trying to find the exact reference. It's either in uh ah,
it's in the Old Testament, and I can't put my
hands on fast enough.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Oh that's okay, that's okay.

Speaker 14 (42:16):
I appreciate capital punishment. God established it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Okay, okay, well there there, there you go. I mean
that that that it is that that is the case
in the in the in the Old Testament, there's there's
there's a lot of debating going on in terms of
what what people what people feel in this regard, and
and so the question then becomes, right, uh, whether it's
the shooter that that took place and the shooting and

(42:41):
the homicide that took place over at Brown University, and
then of course obviously we've got the case in Uh
in Los Angeles. Uh where where you've got the Reiner
family who had a horrible, horrible attack brought upon them
by by one of them our own allegedly. And you know,

(43:02):
this is this is the this is the challenge of
our of our time, because there are people who think
that they can take a life and just and just
not have any sort of an outcome. Uh in that
in that regard, and I would tell you this right now.
You know if you if you take a life, it

(43:22):
better be in self defense. You can't be going around
murdering people. That that's that's not right. You take them
all the man.

Speaker 18 (43:41):
And then.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Brett Winnable show great to be with you one A
seven point nine f m w BT Charlotte's FM News Talk.

Speaker 11 (43:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
If you want to reach out to us, you can
seven o four five seven zero one. What is it now?
One oh seven nine? You know what I'm getting tripped
up with this because I want to make sure that
you get it right because if you're trying to get
us on the text line or you're trying to get
us on the air, you certainly want to have it

(44:10):
appropriately displayed in front of you. And again that is
seven oh four five seven zero one zero seven nine,
and let's go out and let you hear a little sound.
I don't know if you knew this, but Rob Reiner
collaborated with Jim Clapper and Brennan. Remember remember Brennan, the

(44:36):
CIA director. Well, Rob Reiner, this is why President Trump
is as mad as he is about this. Cut number fourteen.
Rob Reiner collaborating with Clapper and Brennan in the aftermath
of the twenty sixteen election.

Speaker 11 (44:52):
Go either person considered either lace good for you?

Speaker 19 (44:57):
I don't think we either one of us has a
good sidne all right, I'm me too.

Speaker 11 (45:02):
We're both of the follically challenged. So I thank you
for coming. I really appreciate. The thing that to me
is so frustrating is that this cataclysmic thing happened to
our country and people don't seem to understand it, understand
the gravity of it. And you know, you guys were

(45:24):
talking about how you know, it's unusual for people who
have been how many how many years experience do you
have between you?

Speaker 14 (45:32):
Would you say, Jim several hundred, I think.

Speaker 20 (45:36):
Probably eighty or ninety eight.

Speaker 11 (45:38):
So here you are, with all that experience, have you
ever seen anything like this happen in this country. I mean,
anything like this kind of attack on our political system.

Speaker 20 (45:50):
Well, no, not at least to me as disturbing as this.
I mean Vietnam War, bet Or. I went through all
the stresses that in the aftermath of Vietnam War, but
I never felt even then that our fundamental institutions were jeopardized.

(46:14):
In fact, our fundamental institutions prove themselves resilient then, and
we actually came out of all that a better country,
and hopefully we'll have the same experience now.

Speaker 19 (46:28):
To me, it underscores two points. One is how determined
mister Putin is to shape the political landscape, both inside
of Russia as well as outside of Russia, whether it
be in Europe or the United States, and in the
least other places he seeks ways to manipulate and exploit
the environments. But secondly, it really does underscore just how
consequential that digital domain is. And as Jim noted, that

(46:50):
we've seen these things being done by the Russians over
the course of many years. But the fact now that
this digital environment, the cyber sphere, gives the Russian intelligenecurity
services so much more up oportunity to manipulate and to exploit,
and they took full advantage of that in the twenty
sixteen election. That's why we saw things of much greater
concern and intensity than we'd ever seen before. And I

(47:11):
think Americans really need to understand just how vulnerable we
are to exploitation of the environment by mal maligne actors
around the globe.

Speaker 11 (47:19):
Is it something that we did not see happening that
we couldn't foresee? I mean, because you know, we talked about,
you know, nine to eleven, nobody, you know, the planes
hitting a building. Seems like they found a huge theme
in the in the in.

Speaker 20 (47:32):
The arsons, and this goes back to the Soviet era.
There's a long history of them interviewing, intervening, and influencing elections,
theirs in other people's.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
So that that's obviously one of the contributing factors when
President Trump was talking about why it was that he
didn't necessarily like Rob Reiner, and you know, there's all
there's all whole lot of nonsense that went on through

(48:04):
the Hillary Clinton days, through the Obama days, through the
Biden days, through all of this sort of stuff. And
you know, you basically have somebody who gets elected to
the presidency and the very first act of hostility is
going after his national security advisor. I mean, I could

(48:27):
understand why President Trump would be so furious about all
of this stuff, especially when there was no evidence that
he was colluding with Russians. I mean, it's just it's absurd.
But it's interesting. This thing goes like twenty five minutes.
That was just sort of the first two and a
half minutes. But you want to talk about collusion, that's collusion.

(48:51):
That's actual collusion. Lee, Welcome to the program. What's on
your mind?

Speaker 10 (48:57):
Lee?

Speaker 11 (49:01):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Lee?

Speaker 11 (49:03):
Lee?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Going once? Lee going twice?

Speaker 21 (49:08):
Sad to hear you.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
How are you?

Speaker 21 (49:10):
First time listening to you from Grand Raft's Michigan but
down here working so oh the only comment was on
the capitol parishment in the Blue cities and Blue states.
You know, they they'll kill a baby was as no
innocent baby, but then they don't want to kill a criminals.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Uh. Look, that is that is the That is the
bitter irony. I mean that that is the bitter irony.
And and and I do appreciate you calling in on that.
Here's the thing, though, Okay, I would be willing to
get rid of all the death penalties. If you have
a an absolute lock in not letting people come out,

(49:47):
I mean, if that's you know, we're told to be merciful.
If if you can't guarantee that these people are going
to be locked up for the rest of their life,
not gonna be able to escape, then this is a
very dangerous reality. And I don't want to see people
coming in and getting murdered and raped and all this

(50:08):
kind of stuff that's going on here. This is not right.
We earn nothing by allowing people to do horrible things
on the streets, on the light rail, on the light rail,
on the streets, on the cats bus, on all of

(50:29):
these things. This is not the way that we should
be able to spend our time. And to me, it's
frustrating as all get out, because it feels to me
like there's a default position in which criminals get preferential
treatment at the expense of the people who have suffered

(50:55):
because these people were allowed to be walking freely. That
is a terrible terror situation all the way around. Deep
we dig, We dig deep. It is great to be
with you. I'm Brett Whatervil, and I got the pleasure

(51:18):
of spending time with Beth Troutman today, Hello Beth Troutman.
Hell are you.

Speaker 18 (51:24):
Hello, Brett Winter. But I'm excited for our first crossing
of the streams on one of seven point nine.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
That is right, that is right, This is this is
a momentous occasion. And unfortunately now I'm gonna have to
I'm gonna have to turn to something that's not a
pleasant topic. But I'm still gonna have to give it
to you there in this regard, and and that is you.
You've spent time in Hollywood. I've been I've been in Hollywood.
I've I've seen things, You've seen things, all this sort

(51:52):
of stuff. And I just got a question about about
the the murder of Rob Reiner and his and his
and his lovely wife, and it's this, it's this. Is
this going to be? I mean, I hate to say this,
but is this going to be like OJ Part two?
Like what do we think is going to happen? How

(52:13):
have you sort of thought about this in these early hours?
And certainly we should be much you know, much more
inclined to think about the terrible violation that took place.
But what are you thinking about with this?

Speaker 18 (52:28):
You know, this story has just broken my heart? I
just read an article. You know, the movie that Rob
Reiner did with his son, Nick, who is the one
now who has been charged with Rob Reiner's murder and
Michelle Singer Reiner's murder. They did a movie back in

(52:49):
twenty fifteen. And the guy who there was a guy
who was at a film festival with them and sat
down for dinner after the premiere of the film and
did kind of a dinner style interview with Rob Michelle
and with Nick. And now since this has all unfolded,
this story has unfolded, that particular writer has gone back

(53:12):
to the recording of that dinner, you know, the interview
that he recorded, and you know, rethinking the dynamic there,
and the dynamic of parents and a son who had
battled addiction. At the time of the interview in twenty fifteen,
Nick had been in and out of a rehab facility
eighteen times. And at that point Nick was twenty two

(53:34):
years old, and reading about the dynamic, and I think
Rob Reiner, who is this, you know, brilliant storyteller, you know,
and so many people James Woods put it beautifully on
Fox News and on Twitter that you don't have to
agree with someone in order to admire them or to

(53:54):
like them, you know. And I think it's it's what
we try to convey certainly on Good Morning VT. You
don't have to agree on everything in order to you know,
be cordial human beings to each other. And Rob Reiner
was a brilliant storyteller and and told stories that he
you know, found these resolutions in. It's famously known that

(54:16):
he met Michelle, his wife, while he was doing the
movie when Harry met Sally, and her influence and his love,
his falling in love with her changed the ending of
that movie. He tied a different bow on that film
because he suddenly understood love in a different way. And
I think, especially with his son Nick, I think he

(54:38):
wanted to find this kind of beautiful, peaceful ending with him.
And if you've ever dealt with anyone in your family
or in your close circle who has battled addiction, it's
a complicated, complex, heartbreaking, gut wrenching thing to endure, and
from both sides, you know, from the people who are

(55:01):
the family members who want nothing more than to help,
and from the person who is the person dealing with
the addiction, who is battling demons. And so as I
was reading this article about this dinner and the complexities
of the family dynamic, I was thinking about family dynamics
in general, and then started thinking about this relationship that

(55:26):
ended in this horrifically tragic way. And I started thinking
most about the surviving children, the younger daughters two years
younger than Nick, and in the article that I was
reading from twenty fifteen described to Nick as her best friend,
but was also, you know, struggling with his demons and
the addiction that he was trying to battle himself. And

(55:50):
so now I have been thinking about those members of
the family. They lost their mother, they lost their father,
and then they also have lost this brother who was
still a love, you know, but in this very tragic way.
So I, you know, I see it, yeah, playing out
in this in this really heartbreaking way that I don't

(56:13):
know that it'll ever be that. I don't think there
will be closure.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
I agree with you, so many people who knew him
so difficult. What do you got coming up tomorrow on
the program?

Speaker 18 (56:21):
Tomorrow we are talking with Scott Huffman, political scientist from Winthrop.
We have Teresa Payton, our cybersecurity expert, but we're also
going to talk about you know family members are coming
into town. We're going to talk about all of the
fun Christmas places that you can take them while they're visiting.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Great stuff. Thanks so much. I appreciate talking to you today.
Enjoy the night, friend, you got it absolutely. Oh that's
Beth Troup and welcome. I am Brett whitter Bowl. It

(56:59):
is great to be with you here today one oh
seven point nine FMWVT Charlotte FM News talk. Lots of
stuff that we're talking about, and everything is a fair
game if you'd like to raise a particular issue you
want to talk about this. I mean, it's a lot
of important stuff that's going on out here, all at
the same time, and I'd be remissive I didn't go

(57:20):
out and start taking some calls from these incredibly smart people.
Let's start off with Ralph. Ralph, welcome to the program.
Our number what do we our number three?

Speaker 10 (57:31):
Our number three always a privilege, Brett and the Bumper
music has risen to a level beyond comprehension. You sound
and the music sounds great.

Speaker 18 (57:44):
Brother.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Oh, thank you very much. It's a pleasure.

Speaker 10 (57:47):
Anyways. What else going to talk about is we need
to have first degree murder a mandatory sentence especially, and
call it one hundred percent law. If you're caught me
on video or eyewitness sees you don somebody down, just
like in Australia and everything, that guy tackled that guy

(58:09):
on a tree and everything. The death penalty and you
have two years to find out if any laws were
broken as far as your rights, miranda rights and the
trial and everything, and then you would be executed. And

(58:29):
I think you know, we spend all that it costs
about thirty six grand to keep an inmate in prison,
plus you talk about health care and get older. We
need to eliminate that segment or a fraction of people
from from from society and everything. Especially. I mean, if it's.

Speaker 12 (58:53):
Fact that they did the crime at everything, we don't
need to let them appeal for twenty or thirty years.
They had a guy, Brent yesterday on y'all's newscast, that
was sentenced for attempted murder and I think he got
was supposed to get like twelve years. I think he
started twenty months and then he went out and killed

(59:14):
the lady.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
That is so horrible and everything that is hard.

Speaker 10 (59:17):
And you know that these judges and especially down in Mecklenburg.
You have DEI judges that love to doll out these
lean leniency sentences, and this is said, it is sad
what we have come to, and we put up with them,

(59:39):
but they keep voting these people in. They need to
have these judges each time they they let them out
and release them and then they go out commuter. They
need to the federal government needs to have a commercial
thirty second commercials say okay, you know this is the
twentieth time this judge is let somebody out.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Yeah, you know, well, I mean look and then you
and then then there's the matter of you know, what
happened at Batty's Ford Road and that's never been solved
and and that was a whole lot of people getting
shot up. I mean, this, this is what is so
crazy about this. We we we forget too quickly about

(01:00:21):
the need for finding justice and unfortunately we're never probably
gonna find out what happened in that regard. But they
shot hundreds of rounds. I mean, it's it's absolutely insane.
And unfortunately, uh people only get to a place where
they say, okay, we're gonna put them on on on

(01:00:43):
death row. Well what about all the offenses that they've
had along the way, and there was no interdiction in
that regard. And then suddenly now you've got you've got
someone living three hots in a cot uh you know,
twenty four to seven, three sixty five for the rest
of of the of their life. And that that that
that that is not justice either, right, I mean that
because the victims of that have to live with that.

Speaker 10 (01:01:08):
Well, you know, and just like the Brooks brother and everything,
five years bring those two guys, right, just that that
would be devastating to a family to have to wait
on that day five years later and everything. And uh,
you know, I don't know, man, People gotta people gotta

(01:01:30):
start vote and I and I don't know what it is, man,
Some of the light needs to come on in her
head about all this crime stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:01:39):
So it's not gonna get better.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
It's not gonna get better. It's not. And that's how
cities die, by the way, you know, that's how city's
going to disrepute and all that sort of great stuff. Ralph,
I appreciate you being on the phone, man, Thanks so much.
All right, man, Hey, you got it absolutely, Jim, Jim,
welcome to the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 16 (01:01:59):
Yeah, thing for you having me on again. The fourth
Hour is back and the Stone Roses are back. Somebody
played a Stone Roses drop yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Yes, that was that was that was that was deployed
by one mister Nick and he he did it beautifully.

Speaker 16 (01:02:16):
Yes, he's got good, good taste in music.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:02:21):
So this whole thing with Rob Reiner is just so
out of left field of so bizarre. It's uh, you know,
one of the the icons of Hollywood who now represent
a lot of what the left and the woke as

(01:02:41):
aspire to.

Speaker 18 (01:02:43):
Ye, it's just.

Speaker 17 (01:02:46):
To me.

Speaker 16 (01:02:48):
I think a lot of what happened here with his
family structure was he meant well, He intended to be
a good parent, He wanted to represent family values. But
the difference, I believe in the if you look at
the incredible integrity that the Trumps family has, They've gone

(01:03:09):
through everything and come out not one of them. Now
one of the people in their family has been a
rogue God. I guess he has a distant need hes
or somebody that wrote a book that's kind of you know,
he didn't hit with very much impact. But I think
mister Trump has always been a person who has always

(01:03:31):
been proactive in everything that he ever aspired to do,
and it just one of the first pillars and foundations
of his success was the fact that he was proactive
in his family. Sure as much as he had maybe
he had disruption from people that thought the grass was

(01:03:52):
going to be greener. On the other side, he always
was there for his children, his grandchildren. The proof is
in the pudding. I think Rob Reiner was. It was
meant well, but was led us stray by a movement
sure that represented values that just were built on pillars
of salt.

Speaker 11 (01:04:08):
And pillars of Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):

Brett Wable Show. Thanks so much for being here. We
appreciate you being here. At one o seven point nine FMWBT,
Charlotte's FM News Talk, Let's grab a call from Winston
see what's on his mind. Winston, Welcome to.

Speaker 17 (01:04:58):
The program, Good afternoon.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Spent a long time right on.

Speaker 17 (01:05:03):
It's been about forty two days down in the hole,
but you know I can take it. I'm tough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
That's right, I know, I know, I know, Vince told me.

Speaker 17 (01:05:10):
We know, yeah, like papion, you know, I can eat
those cockroaches for protein.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Ah, you don't want to do that. That's that's something
that's stomaching.

Speaker 10 (01:05:20):
He did.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Steve McQueen did, oh yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:05:23):
But anyway, Trump his comments were totally out of line.
I read the tweet when it first came out. I
just shook my head. I'm not a big fan of Trump,
but uh, President Trump, it was uncalled for, showed a
lack of class, you know. Rob Rner mead, heead, he
made a lot of people laugh in this country, on

(01:05:45):
all in the family, and I just thought it was
just a bad move a on Trump. I think he
needs to go ahead and maybe repent. Maybe you just
say he needs to he needs to go ahead and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Sorry, Well sure sure. But here's here's the thing. These
guys have been at each other hammer and tong for
for a decade more maybe more. And this is this
is what happens when uh, you start to take things
personally when when it's it shouldn't necessarily maybe be taking

(01:06:25):
it personally. I think I think that the president has
his he has his explanation. He has said what what
it was. I said yesterday that I would not have
said that I would especially on the day of uh
when that happened. But but the fact of the matter is, look,
you think about they tried to overthrow his presidency. They

(01:06:46):
tried to do all sorts of things. They shot him.
They shot him in then in then in the head,
I mean, you know, and then and then they tried
to kill him down in Florida. I mean, he's he's
he's a mad He's mad. I mean, he's mad about
that stuff.

Speaker 17 (01:07:00):
You can't age change there. Let me switch lanes real quick.
I know you're titled, and I enjoyed the new station,
a new one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):

Speaker 17 (01:07:13):
Erica Kirk took a flight into Nashville to have a
sit down with Canvas. Yeah, Candace wants some questions answered,
and the legitimate questions, Okay, you know, the legitimate They
make a lot of sense. I've been following the story.
This is the top story above the fold that we

(01:07:34):
should be focused on. What is the Charlie Kirk assassination.
The dude that they have but wait, so the suspect
they have, he's the fall guy, am I?

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Oh? Okay, okay, okay, Well we'll find out.

Speaker 17 (01:07:49):
That's where I'm coming down.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
We'll find out. But but I don't think that I
don't think that that's the biggest story line. I mean,
what happened with the Jews getting killed in in in Australia.
You know that that that's a big story. That's a
dangerous story.

Speaker 17 (01:08:04):
No, Charlie Kirk and Erica Kirk and Candace sit down today?

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):

Speaker 22 (01:14:07):
Where he lost me.

Speaker 10 (01:14:08):
I've hunted, I've seen bullets hit a turkey bone and fragmant.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
Whoa wow wow wow. All right, John, I appreciate you
reaching out man, Thanks so much for being out there
with all the languages.

Speaker 18 (01:14:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Matt from Charlotte, welcome to the show we're at.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
This is my first time on the news station. Man,
Crystal Clear, beautiful man.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
How about you, buddy? You sound you sound five by five?
What's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Thank you?

Speaker 17 (01:14:33):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
As far as the last segment with your your caller there,
I've listeneding to wins and pull his business on Vince
and Pete and uh, and I've heard him on your
station before, on your show before. It kind of is
like me having some sort of argument or debate with
Stephen Hawking about space time, you know, because it's funny

(01:14:57):
because you can hear him get revd up and then
he starts getting all carried away and then he has
to deal with the voice of reason, which he refuses
to do.

Speaker 16 (01:15:05):
And it is beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
I mean, I work at a body shop. It's loud there.
There's hammers, cool there's all kinds of stuff. But we
listened to WBT and when we hear this character call up,
we all shut our tools off. I'm like, oh, he's
going to give it to him now.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
I mean, it's just fun.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
It's just fun. But you know, it doesn't make any sense.
But I certainly agree with you. I take a terrorist
attack on a bunch of innocent people there in Australia.
That was just horrible. I mean, how I don't know
what he thinks. You know, that's an insignificant story, but.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
My goodness, Yeah, And you know what, the thing that
the thing that bothers me in the extreme is like,
if if God forbid, that happened on American soil in
that same agree, right, people are going out to worship
UH to have a good time, and and you have
a bunch of people getting getting killed in that in

(01:16:08):
that endeavor. To me, I think the American people would
rally in that regard. And watching the coverage that we've
been seeing coming out of Australia, seems it seems to
me that there they don't seem to have the the

(01:16:28):
wherewithal to defend those people who were attacked. And for
all I can make out of this. You know what
I would say, Here's what I would say if I
was if I had the ear of the president, I
would say to the President of the United States, I
would say, you should bring them into the United States

(01:16:50):
if if they don't feel safe in Australia. We should
be a welcoming country. Everybody else gets gets to come
to the United States. And I think I think people
should come to the United States then if they don't
feel safe where they are.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
Especially people that are being terrorized. Yes, yes, orders of isis,
which is one of our biggest then right and now
and now.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
You're you're old enough to remember, and I'm old enough
to remember when you had all these terrible shootings, these
mass shootings that took place over in Australia. And and
and yet these guys who who did this this horrible attack,
they had like six and seven weapons. You're not supposed
to have those kinds of weapons. Where did they get
those weapons? I mean, that's that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
It is, it's absolutely nuts. But uh yeah, yeah, just
what a what a even local news you know, the
whole yeah thing with the brewery guy and all. He
Oh I actually I actually know him. I used to
have a body shop connected to the same building where
he started his brewery.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
And oh wow.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Why when I saw the picture, I didn't even have
to read the name. I said, Oh no, I said,
what did he do? And it struck me as odd
because he, just like everybody says, like the asked person,
I would have thought would have done something like that.

Speaker 21 (01:18:02):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
Not that he's guilty of anything yet, but you know,
they seem to have a bunch of evidence enough that,
you know, Judge thinks that he has to come up
with eleven million bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
So yeah, it's it's heart it's heartbreaking. It is heartbreaking
for that, for that girl, and it's heartbreaking in so
many ways. And I think I feel like, at certain moments, Matt,
I feel like we have shed decency for being something else,

(01:18:33):
and I think we should always default to decency.

Speaker 4 (01:18:37):
Hey, every time you think you saw the craziest thing
you'll ever see, all you got to do is turn
on the news man.

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
Ain't that the truth?

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Ain't that the truth?

Speaker 20 (01:18:43):
Great?

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
Great show man, Thank you for having me back on.
Love the New Channel, love your show.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Hey, keep listening, man, Thanks tell you buds. I appreciate you, buddy,
Thank you very much. Matt from Charlotte News Talking News

(01:19:13):
Talk Radio. I love being able to play rock and
roll and talk about big stories. Anthony Geary passed away.
You knew him as Luke Spencer. He passed away at
seventy eight yesterday. The whole reason why I we wanted
to come in with Amsterdam was because Anthony Geary passed

(01:19:36):
away in Amsterdam and he had lived there for for
a long time, uh with his husband, and uh, you know,
you go back in time and you think about the
storyline that that was Luke Spencer and all of this
sort of stuff that that that was a moment in
time that was it was.

Speaker 11 (01:19:57):
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
It was like a superstar moment. I was a kid
when that was all going on. But you know, unfortunately
people people pass away every single day, and unfortunately they're
not necessarily remarked about. But certainly that was a that
was a very interesting period of time. I mean it

(01:20:19):
was it was one of those things where you had
Scorpio and you had all those guys, and it was
a very interesting time to be a kid to see
all this kind of stuff. In addition to that. In
addition to that, though, there are other things that we
we definitely want to talk about. And one of those
things is uh. Alexandra A. Cassio Cortes claims that ICE

(01:20:43):
is targeting six year olds in her district during a
crazy speech on immigration. Wait a minute, hold on, well,
this is Blaze Media. Blaze Media's got the story. Casio
Cortez claims that ICE is targeting six year olds in
her district. Crazed speech on immigration takes place, and you

(01:21:06):
just got to sit back, and you gotta just scratch
your head for a minute. Here she bashes the administration
for going after illegal aliens. Okay, I understand that's not
what she wants to be happening, But the fact of
the matter is if you're in the country illegally and
you're committing felon these you're gonna probably get caught up.
Democratic Representative Alexandria Acassio Cortes of New York argued against

(01:21:31):
the political rhetoric on immigration from the Trump administration in
an alarmist speech in Congress. The congresswoman accused the administration
of betraying the campaign promised to focus on deporting illegal
aliens with criminal records. In the speech on Tuesday, she

(01:21:53):
also claimed that immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted six year
olds in her district. Why would they do that? Why
would you go and grab a six year old and
just take them away? Like it doesn't it does. It's incredulous.
In this regard. President Trump ran on a promise to

(01:22:15):
the American people that they would go after the worst
of the worst. When ICE tries to go after the
worst of the worst, like you've seen here in Charlotte,
you maniacs come out with the whistles and the screaming
and the yelling. By the way, by the way, let
me ask you a question. They're all out crazy. Let
me ask you that question here real quick. Okay, it's this.

(01:22:39):
Did you pick up the phone and call Tricia, who
was targeted to be attacked and potentially killed. Did you
pick up the phone, as a female legislator and say, hey,
that's not right. You should not have to live in
fear Tricia. Tricia is the person that works with Tom Homan.

(01:23:05):
And you want to know something, I think it's despicable.
I think Chuck Schumer, the entire caucus of the Democratic
Caucus should go and say this should not stand. In fact,
over seventy percent of people currently detained in detention facilities

(01:23:26):
do not have a criminal record, says AOC. But how
do we know. Do you go out and do you
check all the records. You're just bloviating, bloviating. Nobody wants
to hear that there are people who are dealing with

(01:23:48):
all sorts of crises as a result of this. You know,
when AOC decides she wants to make things up, she
makes things up. She's not necessary orly a truthful advocate.
And the fact of the matter is she never stood
up for any of the people that lost their lives.

(01:24:10):
Lake and Riley never stood up for her, never stood
up for all of those people who lost their lives
at the hands of people who should not have been
in the United States of America. And yet, and yet
Kilmar Abrago is still walking around and doing what he

(01:24:31):
wants to do because he's he's kicking it with the senators.
How is that just? How is that justice? How is
that something that needs to be predicated by certain things.
If you're in the country illegally, if you don't have documentation,

(01:24:57):
if you have not been offered protect because you are
being targeted as a political person, you're not allowed to
be in the United States It's like you woke up
tomorrow morning and you had four people sitting around the
table in your house that you do not know that

(01:25:17):
they don't know you, but they've just decided they're gonna
go in any port in a storm.

Speaker 12 (01:25:23):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
That's not how the system works. We either have rules
or we don't. We either have standards or we don't.
This is not a free for all ladies and gentlemen.
And by the way, while we're at it, why don't
we go about the business of vetting these people so

(01:25:46):
that if they are righteous and if they should be here,
we can welcome them, and if they shouldn't be here,
we can remove them. How hard?

Speaker 17 (01:25:56):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Not very hard at all? AOC, I'm finished with you,
are you not at the time?

Speaker 12 (01:26:11):
Yeah, man, I'll tell you what that dang on internet
mind just going on there point and click getting in
there and talking about ww dot click click clicklicklickly clicklickliate.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
It's real, lazy man.

Speaker 11 (01:26:19):
You better have your big boy pants on. The following
takes place between six pm and seven pm.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
Coo and I am Brett Brett Winterruble in for Brett
Brett Jensen, Breaking Brett Jensen. It is great to be
with you. This hour will fly by because I've got
a stack of things that you're gonna want to talk about.
Everything is fair game if you want to opine seven
oh four five seven zero, one oh seven nine, and uh,

(01:26:51):
it is great to be with you here on one
oh seven point nine FM WBT Charlotte's FM News Talk.
Lots of stuff happening. Suddenly we're finding out new information
that none of us heard before. The FBI did not
believe it had probable cause to raid Mara A Lago

(01:27:14):
for classified documents. According to a bombshell file that has
come about what I thought Jack Smith was ready for
prime time. I thought he was going to be this
hero coming in to fix everything up. The FBI did
not believe agents had probable cause to raid President Trump's

(01:27:39):
mar A Lago estate in August of twenty twenty two,
but former President Joe Biden's Department of just Us approved
the search anyway, according to newly released records, and FBI
official even noted that agents had spent six counter productive

(01:28:04):
weeks trying to establish that they had grounds for a
search warrant that eventually was overruled by the Department of
just Us, with just one top official grouching that he
frankly didn't give a damn about the optics. We haven't

(01:28:30):
generated any new facts, but keep keep being given the
draft after draft after draft. One official in the FBI's
Washington Field office groused in a July thirteenth, twenty twenty
two email, absent a witness coming forward with recent information

(01:28:53):
about the classified on site and what was the point
for this anyways? The bombshell details were lodged in internal
records released Tuesday by Senator Chuck Grassley. They were hiding them.
Grassley is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He

(01:29:15):
posted that the records were shocking, emphasizing that the FBI
did not believe it had a probable cause to raid
President Trump's mar al Lago home, but Joe Biden pushed
to do it anyway. The FBI did not believe the

(01:29:36):
agents had the probable cause. The Iowa Republican also claimed
that the emails and other documents were proof of a
miscarriage of justice against a former president. Interviews with witnesses
had not yielded any proof that sensitive intelligence files remained

(01:29:57):
hidden at the former president's state, since a trove of
them was returned on June third, twenty twenty two. The
memo un Probable Cause and another series of emails exchanged
just one week before the August eighth raid of the
former president's Palm Beach, Florida residents, shows that the FBI

(01:30:23):
was looking for a second path on the search warrant.
So they went in there and they tossed the building,
They tossed the bedrooms, They did all that sort of stuff,
hoping that there would be something that would METASIE, that
would show up that they could use in this regard.
There was no such thing. Washington Field Office Special Agent

(01:30:43):
in charge of Counterintelligence Tony Riedlinger and DC Field Office
Steven Dontono were both included on that email exchange. The
communications revealed the bureau wanted the warrant to be executed

(01:31:03):
in a professional, low key manner, mindful of the optics
of the search, though there was anything but that they
came in like a cavalry move that involved a request
for cooperation from Trump attorney Evan Corcoran, who recused himself
later and became a witness that the FBI officials said

(01:31:27):
may not go well at the doj. Trump later accused
the dozens of playing clothes FBI agents as having raided
and occupied his home, breaking into a safe in the
search for classified records and national defense information. The former

(01:31:48):
president was not on site, as he was with his
family had decamped to the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.
Only a skeleton staff of ground keepers remained. You see,
that's how gutless this guy is. That is how gutless
Jack Smith is. He hits him when he's not around.

(01:32:10):
Agents turned on their lights and sirens before swarming Trump's place,
entering even first Lady Trump's Versailles master bedroom, while a
professional safe cracker later helped access items in its office. Now,

(01:32:37):
just remember something that I've talked about in this article
in the New York Post. Nothing like this has ever
happened to the president of the United States. President Trump
wrote on the Truth Social on the day of the search,
with agents lingering from nine am till after six pm
in the evening, all just walking around in their house

(01:33:00):
after working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, the
unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.
I really think they should he should sue Jack Smith.
I think they need to sue him, and I think
they need to disbar him because none of this was proper.
This was all improper. There was no probable cause. The

(01:33:25):
half of the country knew that there was no probable cause.
The other half probably did too, But getting Trump was
more important than following the rules. You know, Obama was
the guy who started the country down this path of

(01:33:45):
presidential warfare with his approval to spy on Trump's campaign
and enable Hillary Clinton's Russia Gate plan. Biden followed on
with his own weapon as a using classified documents as
a presence, but it backfired. History will record their soiling

(01:34:11):
of the office of the presidency. I think this is
demonstrably horrible. Demonstrably I do call balls and strikes. Sometimes
I get hit by a pitch stuff. I mean that

(01:34:33):
just happens. He's just like, oh, oh, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta choke up there. Good to be with you.
You are listening to Breaking with Brett Jensen. I am
Brett wooterbule In for Breaking with Brett Jensen, keeping you
guys all all all company and fun stuff. President Trump

(01:34:53):
picked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessont for important jobs. He he's
got a lot of important jobs, and here is a story.
Maybe maybe this offends you, maybe you're worried about this.
Certainly an interesting sort of way of talking about this.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen't mass deportations are bringing rents down

(01:35:18):
for working class Americans? Oh boy, No, really? How much more?
How much more people who are in the country illegally
need to endure? I mean, like, let's let's really hash
this out. So last month, apartment rents fell one point

(01:35:42):
one percent compared to the same time last year, and
dropped five point two percent compared to the same time
in twenty twenty two, when rents had peaked. During an
interview on the Fox News channel, bessn't crad deportations for

(01:36:02):
helping drive down rents, and pointed to a recent study
from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania which
found a deep correlation between immigration and housing. Who knew?
Who knew that that you would you would have more

(01:36:25):
availability for housing if people who were not supposed to
be in the country left the country? Who knew? That's
a that's really something that I really hadn't I hadn't
really put my head around on this. There's apparently a
deep correlation between immigration and housing rents are down. So

(01:36:50):
you know that the study that the that the Biden
administration doesn't want to talk about. You know, the mass, unfettered,
unchecked immigration that pushed rents, especially for you people who
are working Americans. There's a recent study out from the
Wharton School that shows every one percent increase in population,

(01:37:13):
rents went up one percent. It's a one on one correlation.
So President Trump, by enforcing the border, sending home more
than two million illegals, we're now seeing rents are coming
down substantially. I think they will come down for the

(01:37:36):
rest of the year. He said. We brought interest rates down,
so we brought mortgage rates down, and I think everything
else will follow as a result. Also on Tuesday, Vice
President JD Vance told a crowd in Allentown, Pennsylvania that
housing costs and rents skyrocketed over the prior four years

(01:38:01):
because of President Joe Biden's mass migration agenda that forced
Americans to compete for homes against newly arrived migrants. And
here's what he said. Specifically, he said, I'm a little
surprised when the Democrats talk all this time about the

(01:38:22):
affordability Democrats say, you know, things aren't affordable. This isn't affordable.
This has gotten more expensive. Drugs have gotten more expensive,
Housing has gotten more expensive. And you know what, They're right,
and it was because of them. As jd Vance continued,

(01:38:44):
it ain't that hard if you go back the prior
four years of the Biden administration. Why did housing get
so expensive double in price during the Biden administration. It's
because Joe Biden let twenty million illegal immigrants into the
country who took the homes that by should be going

(01:39:08):
to the American citizens and to the people of this
great state. Housing in Urban Development HUD Secretary Scott Turner,
he's been a guest on this program. He said that
housing prices surged as Biden imported millions of migrants to
come into the country, and now they have changed this up.

(01:39:32):
A HUT investigation published this month found that the Biden
importation of millions of migrants drove the prices up for
Americans who were low income but did not receive public assistance.
See if you're a regular American and you're trying to
rent a place, you were not getting any money to

(01:39:53):
be able to compete with people who had come into
the country because we were throwing all the money around
to all these people. One key cause of the elevated
worst case needs is immigration. Between twenty twenty one and
twenty twenty four, the foreign born population of the United
States increased by more than six million, the largest such

(01:40:17):
increase over that short of a period in American history.
Boom the housing and immigration driven issue with households that
contributed to a significant increase in housing demand, thus driving
up housing prices. The HUD probe continues. In fact, some markets,

(01:40:42):
immigration has accounted for nearly all of the increase in
housing demand in recent years. Did Joe Biden ever call
you and say, hey, we want to put you in
a better place, Mala Harris do that? Did Alejandro Majorcis

(01:41:05):
say Hey, we're gonna get you the hookup. You're gonna
get a better house, You're gonna get a better apartment.
You're gonna no because you were the wrong people. They
wanted new people, not you people. And I am Brett

(01:41:31):
Wittable in for breaking Brett Jensen. It is great to
be with you as we make the turn towards almost
it's gonna be soon before you know it. We're gonna
get some basketball, Uh coming in right? Is that? Is
that what we got?

Speaker 17 (01:41:44):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:41:45):
Yeah, it's gonna be great. Here's an interesting thing that
that that people yeah, they you know, look, you saw
the terrible attack at Brown University. You saw the terrible
attack that took place in.

Speaker 11 (01:42:05):
Australia.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
On Monday. Just two days after the handgun attack at
Brown University, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls pushed an assault weapons ban.
New poll shows overwhelming support for an assault weapons band.
Says Tim Walls, nearly seventy percent of Minnesaultons support it.

(01:42:34):
It's hard to get that much agreement on anything. Oh,
I don't think it's that hard. I bet you a
lot of people agree that you grifted a lot of money.
Let it go overseas. I think that's a pretty easy
I bet you get eighty percent on that one. People
are demanding action on the weapons that have caused terror

(01:42:56):
and heartbreak for our state. You're saying seventy percent sen
is asking for this, Why don't you introduce a bill?
Why don't you push for a bill? He did not
define what constitutes an assault weapon, thereby leaving Minnesotans or
Minnesotans to guess whether the term would be applied as

(01:43:20):
broadly in Colorado, where some shotguns and pistols are included
in the band. Walls spent months pushing for more gun
control after the transgender who changed his name from Robert
to Robin opened fire on the Catholic school in Minneapolis

(01:43:40):
on August twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. The transgender individual
had a handgun, a shotgun, and a rifle, So what
are you talking about? Walls's efforts to secure more gun
control included pushing for a special legend slate of gun

(01:44:01):
control session, and even floating the idea of an assault
weapons ban via an amendment to the constitution of the
State of Minnesota. None of Walls's efforts were successful. Nevertheless,
two days after the Brown University handgun attack, he revisited

(01:44:24):
his desire to ban assault weapons. What is an assault weapon?
What is an assault weapon? A serious question? What is
an assault weapon? How do you describe an assault weapon?
Is it a scary looking weapon? Is it something else?

(01:44:45):
How does the left define those sorts of weapons? Is
it X number of pounds, is it X number of power,
is it x number of whatever? Is it a scary thing?
Is that what you're just basically predicating this on I

(01:45:07):
don't know. You tell me what is an assault weapon?
You know, if you if you have enough weapons, you
could assault a lot of people. You could walk around
like fifty sixty weapons and you could assault a lot
of people. You could actually take fifty think about this,
fifty snubnosed revolvers and shoot a lot of people. It

(01:45:33):
would take a long time to do it. But I mean,
you think about this, right. This is the problem the
people who are the proteges of the gun grabbing reality.
These folks do not know how to define it. I
mean I could, I can do a real time search.

Speaker 11 (01:45:56):
I can.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
I will do this with I will use I will
experiment in real time. Okay, what is an assault weapon?
So we can ban them? All right? Well I'm asking,
I'm asking, mister, mister you know googly, Okay, here's the definite.

(01:46:20):
This is this is amazing. The governor clearly does not
know how to use this kind of research. The quick
answer and assault weapon is not a single, universally agreed
upon category of firearm in the US law and politics.
It usually refers to semi automatic firearms with detachable magazines

(01:46:44):
and military style features such as pistol grips, flash suppressors,
or adjustable stocks. The term is controversial because definitions vary
widely across the States and federal laws. Well, son of

(01:47:06):
a gun? What counts as an assault weapon?

Speaker 10 (01:47:11):
Number?

Speaker 11 (01:47:12):
One?

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
No single definition of an assault weapon. The term assault
weapon is a political and legal construct, not a technical one.
Different laws define it differently. WHAA Federal definition nineteen ninety

(01:47:35):
four ban it now expired. The federal assault weapons ban
described them as semi automatic firearms with large magazines designed
for rapid fire and combat use. Now, what are you
doing this weekend? We're gonna do some combat use. Well,

(01:47:58):
what does that mean? It means we're gonna shoot bullets? Okay,
all right? Semi automatic firearms with large magazines designed for
rapid fire and combat use. Can I buy one of
those police semi automatic action fires? One round per trigger pull?

(01:48:23):
Isn't that how all guns work? Is that not just
the same as a gun? Detachable magazine? That could be
a glock. That could mean uh, military style features such
as pistol grip. But how am I supposed to hold

(01:48:46):
my pistol without a grip, folding or telescoping stock?

Speaker 18 (01:48:55):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (01:48:55):
So if I'm hunting deer at a disc. Wouldn't I
want to have maybe a folding or telescoping stock. I mean,
I don't know flash suppressor. We have to ban we
have to ban the suppressor of flash. I don't even
know what that means. And I just said it barrel shroud.

(01:49:23):
That sounds like a place you go skiing. Ladies and gentlemen,
come this weekend to barrel Shroud, Minnesota. Okay, all right,
here we go. Finally I got I get what it is.

Speaker 23 (01:49:40):
Forward grip, a forward grip. Okay, fine, We'll get rid
of the forward grip and I'll wear the backward grip.
Sometimes I get the grippy, sometimes I get the ken griffy.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on any
very automatic or semi automatic firearms, especially assault rifles.

Speaker 1 (01:50:06):
What is and assault rifle? They're just putting us in
a secret hideaway. See this guy, this guy lost like
two billion dollars of money that went to the Somalian
people over to over the Somalia, and and so he

(01:50:27):
now immediately has to be part of this. He has
to be like, we're gonna get rid of guns. I'm
sure criminals will not give away their guns. I mean,
you just you just got to ask, can somebody help
me here?

Speaker 11 (01:50:42):
Please?

Speaker 1 (01:50:44):
Can can any anybody can? I No, I don't think
that forward grip. I see these people send you crazy messages.

Speaker 5 (01:51:12):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:51:13):
The Brett Jensen Show, breaking Brett Jensen. I'm Brett winterbull
in for breaking Brett Jensen, which is I want to
give them. I want to give them like the the
the you know, the points. I'm going to give them
the points. This is what I'm trying to do. I'm
trying to make this ecumenical. We're all together here together
on this team. One O seven point nine MMWBT Charlotte's

(01:51:35):
FM News Talk. It's a pleasure to be with you.
You know, I'm thinking about Christmas, and I'm not talking
about necessarily an assault weapon thing, but I just want
to I just want to put this out here because
I'm thinking about Christmas. What about the dilemmas that come
up during the season of Christmas. I know, right now

(01:51:58):
it's still Advent, then it's going to be Christmas. You know,
Christmas is supposed to be about giving, not grabbing. But
every year there's that moment when you see someone open
a gift and suddenly you're thinking, wait a second, why
didn't I get that? Like you guys know that feeling

(01:52:19):
you ever, you know it's Christmas time and you go, hey,
almost second, why did he get that? Why did she
get that? I wanted that? That was what I wanted.
What's going on? Maybe it's the perfect sweater, Maybe it's
the gadget that you've been eyeing, or maybe it's just
the last tin of peppermint bark. Could be anything. Now

(01:52:42):
here's the moral fork in the road. Do you smile
politely and let them enjoy it or do you put
on a full on grinch it and snatch it because
you wanted it more? Now, it depends on how old
you are, and you know, wake, let's be honest, and

(01:53:03):
let's be clear. Christmas is not a contact sport. You
don't get to tackle Aunt Linda for her new iPad.
You don't get to trade your socks for your cousin's drone,
and you definitely don't get to invoke eminent domain on
somebody else's presence. Okay, you can't do that, because here's

(01:53:27):
actually the truth. If you take someone's gift just because
you want it, you're not celebrating Christmas. You're actually auditioning
for a remake of The Purge the Holiday edition. We
got to get that siren going, don't we. So maybe

(01:53:50):
the real gift is learning to clap for someone else's joy.
Maybe the real Christmas spirit is realizing that envy is
the one thing Santa doesn't put under the tree. And
if you really want that gift, well you got three
hundred and sixty four days to drop that hint before

(01:54:13):
the next year. I mean, which is I think that's
the easiest thing you can do. I think it's the
best kind of thing we can do. I gotta say something.
I I love Christmas, But you know what I really love.
I love watching everybody else open their presence and then
I always feel like, okay, I gotta I gotta open

(01:54:35):
I gotta open my presence too. But it's like really
cool to see, like when you have people in your
life and you're seeing the joy that people have. But
you know, most of the time, the giving is is
where the joy really is is rooted in it's it's
it doesn't it doesn't necessarily matter what you're giving or getting,

(01:54:57):
but it's important to have that feel. It makes you
in that moment in time, and I don't know how
you how you do your your Christmas or your Hanukkah
or Kwanza or anything. I don't know how how you
do it. But the thing that we should always do

(01:55:17):
is to savor the greatness of this because we don't
know how many Christmases we have, and so we should
always be happy to be around those people. That quiet
sort of moment, maybe later in the evening, as you're
as you're sitting on the couch and admiring the the

(01:55:40):
the Christmas tree and the ornaments and all of that,
and you go through that transformation where here are the gifts.
The gifts are all around the tree. And then slowly
but surely, you you're you're you're distributing those gifts. And
then suddenly you sit back in the quiet and you

(01:56:02):
realize it's just the tree like it was days before.
And you think to yourself and you say, I'm very
lucky to be here. I'm very lucky to spend this
time with these people. The one thing that you should

(01:56:22):
always rely on is gratitude. The other thing is telling
the people who you love that you love them. Just
don't do it too much because you had too much
egg knock you can't just go around hugging everybody. That
eventually becomes a problem and you need to go to bed,

(01:56:45):
and we'll talk to you about that in the morning.
But the fact of the matter is we should be
appreciative of everything. And if you're lucky, if you're just
lucky enough. No, I'm not going to get you an
automatic rifle. Stop it. We're not talking about the guns anymore.
We're talking about you might possibly maybe get to do

(01:57:11):
something that's really cool. You might go and see the
stocking hanging by the mantle, and you might realize that
there's one last gift that you didn't really see, and
in that moment, in the quiet, you can savor that

(01:57:33):
wrapped whatever it is, and you can savor that. It's
like having an extra slice of Christmas. It's something special,
and that's what it should be. In this season, we
have to remember, we have to remember something very important.

(01:57:57):
Every day that we get to spend time I'm together
is a gift mostly for you from me, but a
lot of time when you call and when you reach out,
I'll tell you this right now, that's a gift to
me as well, because it means we're being interesting, you know,

(01:58:20):
what's very interesting coming up. In just a matter of moments,
we're going to get some basketball in. Who's playing? Who
do we know? We'll find out. You're gonna enjoy it.
Who Etsu versus NC stick around. I'm Brett Whitterble. I
approve this program.
