Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good afternoon. I'm Brett witterble back in the seat. Great
to be here. Thanks so much to Pete Pete Callen
sitting in for me, doing double duty pretty much. I mean,
this is just it was just really phenomenal in this regard,
and I'm just really so happy to be back behind
this microphone because we got to do some really cool

(00:42):
stuff yesterday. We will flesh that out accordingly during the program.
Our telephone number, by the way, seven four five seven
zero eleven ten, and the WBT text line, as you know,
is driven by Liberty Buick GMC, and they are the
sponsors of that, and you can also send messaging to

(01:03):
us at the same time as well. Seven h four
five seven zero eleven ten. One of the things that
has got my goose, got me angry is this murder
on the light rail. And here's why I say this,
because I'm looking at the story in the Charlotte Observer.
I got back very late last night, and once you

(01:25):
get off the road, you can't immediately go to sleep.
So I'm like reading all the coverage of this, and
I'm saying to myself, why does Donald Trump not bring
in to Charlotte the National Guard? I think that would
be an appropriate effort. Oh, Brett, are you saying that

(01:47):
there's violence in Charlotte. Yes, I am. There are plenty
of places that are suffering with violent felons and things
like that, and I'm just I just want to see it.
I just want to see it now. I know, I
understand it's going to ruffle some people's feathers, but the
purpose of having public transit is so that you can

(02:10):
get on the public transit, whether it's a bus, a
cat's bus, whether it's a light rail, whether it's any
of those sorts of things, Amtrak, the highway, walking in
the neighborhoods, whatever it is. You have a right to
depart your home and then come back to your home
in one piece. That is an actual right. You have

(02:34):
a right to life. I know, I know. I don't
want to get you know, emotional with all the people
who are doubting when you say that. You know, life
is an important issue, But it's interesting to me because
everybody who's walking around has been given the chance to
be born. And when you see what happened to that

(02:55):
young woman, and I notice, like MSNBC, CNN, the big
broadcast channels really not talking about it. In fact, I
sent a tip over to one of my friends who
works over at Jesse on the Fox News channel, and

(03:16):
I said, you guys need to blow this up. You
guys need to talk about this. This has to be
a national story because you should not be murdered riding
on light rail. I mean, I'm sorry, you should not.
You should not be murdered walking down the street. You
should not be murdered any of that sort of stuff.
And it finally dawned on me how it is we

(03:38):
can stop this. We need to make that murder that
took place on the light rail retroactively a hate crime.
Whether or not it's a hate crime doesn't matter. The
only reason why anybody ever pays attention to people getting
murdered is when it's attached to a quote hate crime,

(04:01):
which is ridiculous because every murder is a hate crime.
You're murdering somebody, You are murdering a person who has
the right to be alive, and you decide that you're
going to kill them for no reason, and don't call
me and tell me. Sometimes there's a reason, Sometimes there's justification.

(04:26):
Sometimes sometimes sometimes I am sick and tired of the
war on women. Women who are abused, women who are murdered,
children who don't come back from school, children that don't
come back from their job at the food line. I

(04:48):
am done with this, and I think what we need
to do is encourage pick up the phone, call your representatives,
and demand that every crime is designated a hate crime
when it comes to murder, when it comes to rape,
when it comes to any of that stuff, because people
will not stand up for women. Men have been cowed

(05:13):
many cases because of the progressive nature of women, or
people who try to make themselves women when they are
not women. All that sort of stuff is special, But
where are the men? Where are the men? I drove

(05:33):
six and a half hours on Sunday to get to Washington,
d C. For the radio row. I got out of
my car and I walked around. I heard exactly one siren.
One siren, four o'clock in the afternoon. I was in

(05:55):
DC until about seven o'clock, and I got to tell
you one. I heard one siren, and you know what
that siren was. That siren. That siren was a motorcade.
I didn't see people being offended by the presence of
the National Guard. I didn't see people freaking out when

(06:19):
they got side arms for the National Guard. I did
not see punks, losers, criminals going up and challenging the
National Guard. You know why they don't walk around by themselves.
They walk around in groups. Now, I think, with the

(06:43):
murder of this young woman, twenty three years old, her
whole life in front of her, it's imperative that we
bring in the heat. That we bring in the heat.
And I'm telling you right now to pick up your phones,
call whoever you gotta call, and you gotta say maybe

(07:05):
just call the White House and say Charlotte needs needs,
needs protection on the light rail. I want every city
to have that. I want every community.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
To have that.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Wealthy communities, poor communities. I want everybody to be safe
because your taxes are just as green as my taxes.
And the fact of the matter is, the more we
put up with this, this war on women and young
girls and young people and older people, the more we

(07:46):
put up with this, the more we get. Now I
expect I'm going to get pushback. That is fine. I
believe that everybody has a right to live. Anybody who
murders should be charged with a hate crime. Period, Full
stop News Talk eleven ten that and I'm three WBT

(08:18):
Brettwitterbule show good to be with you. A lot of
stuff happening seven four five seven eleven ten. I would recommend, actually, though,
if you want to put really great thoughts together WBT
text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC seven four five
seven zero eleven ten. So when I'm looking at the

(08:38):
direction of the country, I see exactly what is going
to happen. I understand exactly. I'm that kind of a
guy who understands how how people think. I'm a I'm
a student of people, and people are are are pretty
easy to figure out. And I'm not being that. I'm
not saying that as an insult. What I am saying

(09:00):
is people are pretty easy to figure out. It's not
a hard thing to do. And you're seeing this in
a microcosm. They're in the situation at the Democratic meetings
that they're doing. I'm not going to hammer the Democrats
on their meetings. They are absolutely wrong. They don't know

(09:23):
what they're talking about, and they think, for whatever reason,
getting more radical is the answer. But if you think
about the crossroads, right, not the crossroads of geography, but
the crossroads of temperament. There is a moment where the
volume of our discourse has risen, but the clarity of

(09:43):
our thinking, I think has dimmed. Anger has become the
currency of the political engagement and answers, the real, hard
earned answers. Sometimes uncomfortable answers are treated like it's counterfeit.

(10:03):
Anger is not inherently wrong. It can be righteous, it
can be a spark. But when anger becomes the substitute
for answers, when it replaces reason with reaction, well we
don't just lose the debate, we lose the country. We
lose a number of people there. We've seen what happens

(10:27):
when a political party, once rooted in principle, begins to
self emaly at its own base. It's not just a
collapse of leadership. It's actually a collapse of identity. When
irrationality becomes the organizing principle, When grievance becomes the platform,

(10:48):
parties don't just burn, but they burn the bridges to
the future. Look at the people who are most on
television not wanting their communities to be safer. Brandon Johnson,
Wesmore Mandani. Mandanni is gonna go into that mayoralty, right,

(11:13):
Let's assume he gets elected, and he's going to probably
put together squads who go door to door to evict
people who are living in nice houses and forcing them to,
you know, give it up. I mean, I can see
a lot of socialist bent with Mandani. I mean, he's

(11:33):
such a dangerous character, except for the fact that he
couldn't even bench what thirty five pounds needs more spinach
that he's going to put people into a funnel to
support Cuomo. I mean, you can see where that's all happening.
But if you look across the country, these people are
very proud of the way they've ruined their cities and

(11:54):
made them incredibly dangerous. They've done that in a bit.
Think about the man who beat his wife, who was
allegedly quote unquote from Maryland, who got the attention of
a senator. But none of these victims of violent crimes

(12:16):
get the attention from a senator. Why is that? Why
is that? Tom Tillis did he come out, Has he
made a comment about this? Has he called for action?
Ted budd has he called for action? The governor? Has
he called for action? Jeff Jackson, has he called for action?

(12:39):
I mean, this is all the stuff that we have
to understand. It's not a partisan critique, but this is
a civic warning because when any movement left Writer's Center
abandons the pursuit of truth for the thrill of tribalism,
it ceases to be a movement and it becomes a mob.
And mobs don't build nations, they tear them apart. So

(13:00):
what are we supposed to do with this? Well, what
you're watching with the folks in Minnesota, what you're seeing
with those people is that slogans are only the answer.
They must speak with conviction about their policies that will

(13:22):
deliver wins for our country, not wins for a party,
for a personality, but wins for the people. Very easy
to put together a platform. I can do it for
you in fifteen seconds. Then I'll go to the phone.
How about this economic mobility over economic resentment. Education that empowers,

(13:47):
not indoctrinates, Security that protects without dividing, Innovation that uplifts
without leaving anyone behind. How about that. That's a basic
platform that you could put together. In other words, serve

(14:08):
the people, Serve the people who are most vulnerable, unable
to defend themselves, and work to help them. You've seen
the clarion calls coming out of Chicago. You've seen it
out of Los Angeles. You've seen it out of Newsom,
You've seen it out of wes Moore. You've seen it

(14:30):
crazy Hokeel, You've seen it with all these people, Brandon Johnson, Houston, Texas.
Just go around the country. You've seen it, and then
you've seen places that function. It's so incredible that four
years ago today we watched the murder of thirteen people

(14:54):
who were at the Abbey Gate because Joe Biden wanted him,
wanted them to just pull out. All right, Tell me
any city that Joe Biden built up, built up, Tell
me any place, Tell me any place in the Middle East,
tell me any place, Tell me any place in Ukraine.

(15:14):
Tell me any place where Joe Biden helped to build
he tore down all for money. And looking at the
fear coming out of Chicago, looking at the fear coming
out of America's great cities. I love I love urban

(15:35):
I love urban situations. I love going into cities. I'm
a city file. I love cities, and unfortunately, you have
people in cities begging for help, and it's predominantly white bread, rich,

(15:58):
snobby people who are standing in the way of regular
people being protected from violence. It's typically like, you know, Stanford, Columbia,
University of Chicago, Yale, Harvard, Georgetown. We don't want to

(16:19):
have these filthy, awful people in our streets. Are you
talking about the criminals, No, we're talking about we're talking
about having the National Guard helping out. We don't need
those fascists around. Yeah you will, Yeah you will. And
just about a generation ago, let me tell you something.

(16:41):
You needed them on nine to eleven because in that case,
William Jefferson blythe Clinton didn't take the threat seriously. The
minute you allow a city to go into decay, the
minute you allow or you turn your head away from
a young woman being murdered on a light rail because

(17:02):
she was taken a ride. The minute you tolerate that,
you lose your city. How do I know. I've lived
in the Bronx, I've lived in Los Angeles, I've lived
in California, I've lived at the border. I understand when
you stand strong, the bad guys stop. When you do

(17:22):
nothing about it, the bad guys kill. That could be
anybody's daughter. And what did I read? Oh, the city
council had a meeting to talk about this, that and
the other thing. Why don't you bring in the heat.

(17:43):
Bring in the heat, not just on the light rail,
bring in the heat wherever people are being threatened, harmed, shot, stabbed,
what have you. And I know, I know, I understand
Gary doesn't want to deal with the bad ombres because

(18:05):
he's busy with the stuff that he does. You pay taxes.
Your taxes are as green as mine. You pay taxes,
you pay federal taxes, you pay state taxes, you pay
municipal taxes. Demand safer streets. They will help you. News

(18:47):
Talk eleven, ten out of nine, three WVT. All right,
So yesterday I had a chance to catch up with,
of all people, Judge Janine, who was at the radio
row that we did at the White House yesterday, and
I had a chance to get some time with her
to talk about what it is she's trying to do
in Washington, d C. What it is the President is
trying to do in Washington DC. And the conversation went

(19:10):
like this, cut nine. We've been following very closely all
the stuff that you've been doing, especially to try to
make the cities safer here in Washington, DC. Can you
talk a little bit about the passion you have for
these people who are underrepresented typically and how they have
to deal with this incredible nonsense murders, rapes, killings, things

(19:34):
like that, and the President and you are the two
folks who are pushing hardest for this to get resolved.
Talk a little.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know, I appreciate the question, I really do, And
it's a very different question from what.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I normally get.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, our heart breaks for the crime that is being
committed in minority communities, for the crime that is being
committed against even in DC black teens. In twenty twenty four,
twenty nine of them shot and killed with a gun,
and only more than seventy percent of the cases have
not been solved. Seventy percent of those murderers are still

(20:11):
running around with a gun, all right. And then in
twenty twenty five, so far they've been nineteen. It was twenty,
it was twenty six last year, and this year there's
nineteen again, twenty nine percent of the cases are solved.
The President is making it clear that he's not going
to tolerate crime, you know, in the minority community. So
while you know, these people on the left can say

(20:33):
black lives matter, the only one who's actually acting on
the fact that black lives.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Matter is President Trump.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
And what we're trying to do is make sure that
that community is protected.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
And for those people who are complaining about the.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Surge and saying, oh, they're only sending them into the
wealthy areas, that's nonsense, right. That's why crime is down now.
The criminals nowhere out there. One thousand and seven arrests
have been made, one hundred and eleven guns have been seized.
And what they know is that, you know, we're out
there watching for them, and so they are kind of

(21:07):
at the back end. For twelve days there hasn't been
a homicide. And think about that. We're up to one
hundred and one homicides through August eleventh or twelve, and
now we haven't had any because they know we're there.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
You know, at a different time, in a different place,
I lived in the Bronx. I lived in Morris Park
in the Bronx, and I remember the day that Juliani
was inaugurated, how he came in strong to defend people,
to do all of the stuff that needed to be done.
Did you have the same sort of power when you
were in New York? Did you have a stronger ability

(21:40):
to put people behind bars versus d C.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
No Christ I mean coming to d C is it's
a shot between the DC Council and the laws that
they've passed. You know the judges and you know many
of them are almost unaccustomed to holding people putting them
in jail. Last week, two weeks ago, I had a
case where a nineteen year old gets on a bus,

(22:03):
takes an illegal guns under somebody. He doesn't die, and
the judge gave a probation. We convicted him of assault
with a deadly weapon, went right through the chest of
a victim. Park was a family on that bus. And
in the end the judgements in probation and says, go
to college. That's nonsense.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
It is okay. That would not happen to the Jopan.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
For all the things they say about New York, sure
we were a lot better off.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Cash list veil is absurd.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's only the president who's saying, you know what, we're
getting rid of this nonsense. And but poor President Donald Trump,
this city would continue to go down. And in twenty
I think it was twenty four, we have the fourth
highest homicide rate in the country.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
You know, if we were a state here, we'd be
the number one murder state.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
What was so shocking for me yesterday was to hear
from the governor of Maryland saying, take your mouth, take
our mouth out of your or take our take our
city out of your mouth. Mister President. That is an
unbelievably disgraceful comment to make. He is trying to save
people around the country, and these governors they think it's

(23:10):
a game. Lowesome West Call. You know, all these folks
are just out of their minds.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
You know, it's more than just a game.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
These governors are so so addicted to power that they
have to do and say anything they can to try
to take power away.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
From the president and say, look, he's doing these terrible things.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
But if you were a citizen who can now go
to dinner and not worry about it and walk the streets,
if you're a family member who says, you know, a
month ago, you know, my son was.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
An interim here and got shot off at.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Ten thirty at night in a decent area because he
wanted to go to McDonald's for a hamburger. Okay, I mean,
don't buy into that leftist nonsense.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
And what we've got to do is change the law.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
So this left leaning DC Council, I've written many outbeds
on this stuff, and change the law and bring in
a prosecutor like myself who's going to push the envelope
tip of the spear. You know, it's no more live
and let live in DC. What life lesson has been
most important to me here and how has it impacted
what I'm doing. The life lesson that I've learned is

(24:17):
you can never ever pulled back on the throttle because
we think that once we've solved an issue, we're good.
But we're not good because we'll fall back into, you know,
the negative territory if we don't continue.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
To push the throttle.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
And that's what I learned at this stage of my career.
Issues that I thought were resolved long ago are still
at the forefront now. It's just different people learning to
deal with it for the first time. And that's where
my institutional knowledge and my years thirty years thirty two
years in law enforcement benefits me. You know, because I've

(24:56):
solved this before and I can't believe word square one
having to solve it again.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
You just assume everybody learned from what you did.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
They didn't great stuff. We really appreciate you being with
us here today.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I love talking to you because my sister lives in
North Carolina, in Wilmington, Oh, beautiful Carolina.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
It was a pleasure. Thank you so much, so much
for that question.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
I was Judge Janine.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, at these at the possibility of you being upset
about something. I don't want you to be upset because
we are beginning to see the light at the end
of the tunnel, and it is not the train that
is coming straight at us. Okay, Now, this is cut
number sixteen. This is a fellow who's had enough of
your favorite person. You know who that is, Little Gavin Newsome,

(25:56):
cut number sixteen. Please go.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
I can't understand how anyone would vote forget Newsom. He's like,
clearly a sociopath and has I was thinking about this today.
I imagine rising to the position of governor of California,
the sixth largest economy in the world, the most beautiful,
one of the most beautiful places in the world, and
having your legacy be that you created a crime ridden,

(26:21):
bankrupt This place had a surplus two years ago, so
that would disqualify like Gavenusom would not be employable in
the private sector with that kind of performance. But these
people continue to vote for this stuff. And I've thought
about leaving multiple times, but I love it here. I
don't want to, So I hope that this disaster might
change things and wake people up. I in twenty sixteen,

(26:43):
I was like an anti Trump person and was very
upset when he was elected. And then I've changed tune
very quickly after seeing him being smeared unfairly, seeing media
coverage that's taken out of context edited. The same standard
doesn't apply to any Democrat politician avenuwsome who had an
affair with his best friend's wife who is his campaign manager.

(27:05):
I don't know what else somebody could do in terms
of character and old Biden stuff. It's like the worst
president in the history of this country and the most corrupt.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Okay, so there are little glimmers of light coming out
of California. So I had a friend back in California
who was a politician, and his name is Carl Demyo.
Once in a while, you'll see him maybe on Newsmax,
or you'll see him occasionally on Fox, very rarely. So

(27:37):
Carl Demyo is a California senator, all right, he's so,
he's not a senator in the federal level. He's a
California senator. And you know he's one of those people
that is screaming in the in the night right. Not
nobody's nobody's listening to reason or any of this sort
of stuff. You are about to hear pushback, and I

(27:58):
think this is fantastic. So it sets up with I
want to introduce a prop that's not a betting phrase.
It's a proposition on a matter that you could debate. Okay,
So Carl Demayo, God love him, God love him, right

(28:19):
out of San Diego. This guy, this guy's trying to
fight Gavin Newsom and his chance, his attempt to rig
the UH the elections cut number twelve goal. We're not
allowing props today, mister Demayo.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Then why have you become props to Governor Gavin Newsom's
presidential campaign? That is what SBW eighty is an unnecessary
special election at a cost of a quarter billion dollars.
Why because his campaign for president has been going down
in flames and he needs something to prop up his chances.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Make no mistake about it.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
This is a political stunt, an unnecessary, costly special election,
because Gavin Newsom needs chum in the water for political attention.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
You know it, and I know it, and you're allowing.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
State taxpayer money to be used for it because you
have no problem spending precious, scarce state tax dollars in
the middle of a budget crisis.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Say that we have to defend.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Dollars for California, but you have wantonly wasted money. For example,
giving free health care to illegal immigrants.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
At the cost of ten billion dollars in counting two
hundred and fifty million dollars applied.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
To our state budget may not make up for your
multi billion dollar deficit, but it's a start.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
You know what two hundred and fifty million dollars would do.

Speaker 6 (29:53):
It would fully fund Prop thirty six so that we
could give power and tools to the prosecutor, prosecutors and
the law enforcement agencies to arrest and punish criminals. Voters
voted for Prop thirty six, but you refuse to fund
it from the party that says, let the voters decide
and let's do what the voters want.

Speaker 7 (30:14):
Belooney, you do what you want. Might makes right, and.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
That's exactly what you've done for the last seventy two
hours by trampling over constitutional provisions and violating House rules.

Speaker 7 (30:27):
And you talk about a fair election.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
SB two eighty shortens the timeline necessary.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
For an election.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
But because you have an urgency clause, there might makes
right you change election law.

Speaker 7 (30:43):
And now you're going to.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Slap a misleading ballot title on You can't even win
based on the truth.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
You say you trust the voters, but you don't trust them.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Enough to tell them the truth because your ballot measured title.
Because we've seen it, we've seen your polling that the
D Triple C or someone paid for retains the Independent
Citizens Redistricting Commission. Are you proud of yourselves retains the
Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. You are eviscerting that commission. You

(31:12):
are numbifying that commission. You are suspending the voice of
the citizens and what they decided to grab the power
back for yourself, and don't for a moment call it temporary.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
And why don't you take the money and rebuild the
fire damaged parts of California? Why are you not doing that? Gavin?
We know why he's not doing it, because Gavin hates
the people that he represents. He does. This is very

(31:44):
common around politicians. There are plenty of politicians who who revile,
and I mean revile the people who are out there.
There was an interview that was done earlier today. I'll
play it for you in the next hour. Morning Joe

(32:05):
talking to Brandon Johnson about why Brandon Johnson doesn't want
more cops on the streets. But I can preempt that
right now and give you cut number thirteen. This is
just one of those hard working regular Joe's who are
walking around the streets and he wants the feds to

(32:26):
come to Chicago. He wants the feds to come to Chicago.
Cut number thirteen.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
Please not chi Ka walk around the community without feed
of being heard or kidnapped or having a drive by.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
So it's what these numbers that they're expressing. We don't
feel it in our quality of life.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
But what does that guy know. That guy's not Brandon Johnson,
that guy's not Gavin Newsome, that guy's not Wes Moore,
that guy isn't any of those people. He's just a schlub.
He's just one of these guys walking around thinking his
vote is to be counted, that his desires are to

(33:08):
be counted? How many more people need to die before
the Democratic Party relinquishes this crazy, crazy effort to protect
the criminals at all costs. And I only say that
because you can only derive that as the lesson whether

(33:30):
it's in New York City, whether it's in Washington, DC,
whether it's in Baltimore, whether it's in just pick any
place you want to go. The people who pay the
freight get the least, and the people who deserve the

(33:53):
less the least are the people who call the tune.
What are you prepared to do? What are you prepared
to do? In this ninety seven to three ratio? Great
stuff straight ahead? You know who you're gonna hear from

(34:14):
one of my favorite people, Doctor Oz. News Talk eleven
ten out of nine three WBT Brett Waterbull Show with

(34:36):
You seven O four five sevenho eleven ten. All Right,
I got a chance yesterday to talk with doctor Oz.
Fascinating conversation, lots of good stuff, and I want you
all to hear this because I think it's well worth
the time to hear what doctor Oz was saying. As
we were there at the White House getting briefed and

(34:58):
all sorts of stuff like that. Cutt number ten. Please,
it is my pleasure to introduce to the audience here
at WBT doctor Oz, who is the administrator for the
Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Speaker 8 (35:11):
Thanks so much for being here today.

Speaker 9 (35:12):
God bless you, Brett. I tell you it is the
best job ever. I've had some pretty good jobs in
my life. I'm a heart surgeon, I hosted a TV show.
But getting to help with Medicare and Medicaid, yes, which
is how great societies are rated. You take care of
your most vulnerable, well or not where great people were
going to do it. Sure, it has been over the top, brilliant,
and we're in a room where we got a lot

(35:33):
of other hosts.

Speaker 8 (35:33):
You know them all.

Speaker 9 (35:35):
But it is a message that I think many of
us will share with you as we come through the
different members of the administration. The President has made it
very easy to make a difference, and that's why we
came into government. You don't want to sit around, you know,
doing nothing.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Wait, so it's about service. It's not about being famous
and things.

Speaker 9 (35:51):
Who would have thought with the hours we work and
the pay we get, it's definitely not about that. About
all the other things. But you know when you when
you're blessed in life that I have been sure, And
I suggest for anyone listening, especially if you get older,
don't think about retirement. Think about how you can serve.
Absolutely it's fulfilling it many ways. If you've already done
the other things you want to do in your life
and and you raise your family and you can afford

(36:15):
to deal with any retirement style approach to life.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Sure you as you just you know, put an extra four.

Speaker 9 (36:20):
Years in there to help the government. And I tell
you it has been wonderful to recruit people in the
government right at different phases of their life. But the
older you are, the easier it is because you've got
to give up everything, you got to sell everything, you
got to divest, and because of that, it's if you
have a bunch of young kids around, it so hard.
But as you get older it's a little easier.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
So when you're working at CMS, I imagine you've got
to deal with a whole lot of your ocracy, checking
a whole lot of boxes, that sort of something. When
you're doing off heart transpitor, you're working on a patient.
You know you're calling the shots. How do you acclimate
to the system such as it is here in this time.

Speaker 9 (37:00):
I'm in the change business. I always have been. When
you're in heart surgery, it's the same thing. You and
everyone around you are aligned, and the mission is clear,
the right to save the person in front of you.
At CMS, it's an equally clear mission as much as possible,
help people, many of whom have fallen on tough times,
get through their physical ailments but also their emotional issues
and get them back into society. It's not a handout,

(37:22):
it's a handout. In surgery, you have the ability to
make decisions. Those decisions aren't always going to be popular
because sometimes you got to move drastically in one direction
to the other and people just have to come along
with it, get to trust you. It's not this similar
at CMS. I've got people who know a lot about
what they're talking about. In the surgery. I've got an
anesthesiologist who knows more about how to put someone to

(37:42):
seep than I ever would know. Sure, the heart lung
machine guys, they're called profusionists. They know all about these
complicated equations. It's not what I'm a specialisting, but what
I know how to do I do well.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
But I've got to lead.

Speaker 9 (37:52):
That's the most important thing I do when I tell
the team often is my main job at CMS is
to hire the smartest people I can find and make
sure they don't kill each other.

Speaker 8 (38:00):
That's the goal. Very good point.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
How do you interface with some of the other high
profile folks, especially in the medical community. RFK Junior has
got a policy that he's trying to push. You're trying
to do the things that you want to do for
your people. How do you interface that in that regard?

Speaker 9 (38:19):
Brett, I think that might be the most important question
you get to ask me. People don't ask it usually, but
it's brilliant to touch on this. Bobby Kennedy is a
very close friend of mine. We have been friends for
many years. Vacation together. I went to dinner with him
Saturday night with our wives. Cheryl Hines is wonderful when
she's close to my wife Lisa. That's important because there
are going to be times that we need to dance

(38:40):
and it's not so clear what moves we're dancing to.
The music is not a tool we're both familiar with.
So you've got to forgive each other and also trust
each other.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
So Bobby's the boss.

Speaker 9 (38:50):
He runs health even services, and he's fantastic at having
a vision. But he's also a compassionate person, so he'll
know there are things you may need to do in
case at CMS, or Marty McCarey at FDA, or Jay
A Badashari at NIH. All of us work under him.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Sure, he gives us.

Speaker 9 (39:06):
Our room, but he also makes sure we work together.
There is no fighting, but those guys like brothers. Today
he calls us, you know here, you're doing an interview
recently called us all renegades because all of us were
at CANCEL during COVID, all of us. But we're in
a position right now where we don't have the luxury
of fighting. Sure, so if we're going to do something together,
and we often need to, Jay will do the research,

(39:28):
Marty will do the regulation. I'll do the payments. That's
how it often works, right, Discover a new drug, have
prove it's used widely, and then someone's got to pay
for it. That's our three jobs. Bobby at the top
of the of the pyramid creates an environment a culture
that allows us all to do that reproducibly, and that's
a message that goes through all that tens of thousands

(39:48):
of people who work at helping human services. And if
you make that mission clear, then you have a strong culture. Remember,
culture eats strategy every day of the week. You gotta
have the best strategy in the world. I'm gonna do
all these fantastic theeds of American people, but if people
don't like it each other in the organization, they're going
to undermine each other.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
When you look at the medicines that are coming up,
what gives you hope for especially people who you don't
want to have to see them going into the hospital
or doing things like that. What is the most important
sort of stuff that people ought to be thinking about,
especially when they get older.

Speaker 9 (40:20):
Well, the MAHA movement is primarily about being curious, and
I say that it's an important point because if you're
really curious, remember eighty percent of statements are questions in
the skuys. The opposite eighty other questions are statements in
the guys, they're camouflaged.

Speaker 8 (40:33):
A truly curious.

Speaker 9 (40:34):
Person wants to know about why certain things are happening
in their body. Why is it everyone's getting heavy? Why
are the overweight people developing diabetes and high blood pressure?

Speaker 7 (40:41):
Dying?

Speaker 9 (40:42):
The heart attack and stroke. Why is it that our
kids are growing up now with ailments that.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
We never thought of before.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
Why we have so much autism? All this becomes part
of your curiosity. But if you're curious, you have to
be courageous as well. Think the wisdom you've learned, and
then compassionately share it with others. I think that's ultimately
what we're trying to do in the Maha movement. So
it starts up with basic realities like you win the
battle for health in your kitchen, your living room, your bedroom,
how you sleep and how much you sleep, the foods

(41:08):
you eat which affect how you sleep, but also how
you put weight on physical fitness, which is a way
of resetting the biological levers in your body. Because you're
supposed to be a lean machine, you're supposed to be
like a gazelle, you actually are. You're playing weight, which
is the way you were in high school, is actually
where you're supposed to stay.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
If you get back to the lifestyle that.

Speaker 9 (41:26):
We know is historically humans we're blessed with, then we'll
be able to return to that lifestyle. Those people don't
cost much money to the healthcare system. The people who
cost most money overweight people. So if take one takeaway
from the bread interview that I'm doing now is make
sure that you get to the playing weight as low
as you can do it in whatever tactics are healthily

(41:46):
available to you. Generally speaking, eating real food that comes
out of the ground looking the way it looks when
you eat it, We'll get you there.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
What's more dangerous smoking and drinking alcohol or being sedentary
all day?

Speaker 9 (41:58):
You know, they're dangerously close to each other. For people
who have genetic weaknesses about smoking, for example, that's a
terrible problem. It outweighs everything else ten year reduction of
life expectancy. But across the population, not everyone has that
genetic weakness, but all of us have a achilles heel
around sedentary lifestyle, and it is the new cancer in

(42:19):
many ways, because if you sit around all day long,
like so many do, you're going to develop complications. We
are not designed by God to sit around. We're designed
to go out there and change the world. It's one
of the reasons I speak about the work requirement and medicaid.
I want people to work. The President wants people to work,
and he's he's strong and powerful about this because he
wants America to go out and change the planet the

(42:40):
way we believe we're destined to do. And so much
of what America under President Trump reflects is that wisdom
that we shouldn't just be sitting around counting our money,
go out there and make a difference.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
And it's incredible. You think about the Greatest generation, they're
all living to one hundred and one hundred plus. They
were not sedentary guys, they were working twenty four seven.

Speaker 9 (43:02):
You were a pretty healthy nation until about forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Incredible.

Speaker 9 (43:05):
And then because of the mistakes are on the food
pyramid recommendations on carbohydrates, which you know is it was
felt that fat was the enemy. The real problem is
simple carbohydrates. That's what causes you to get fat. The
fat you eat does not become the fat in your hips.
So as that wisdoy becomes more widely appreciated, it's pretty
easy to eat real food. Sure, you just have to
make sure it's affordable. And they were not changing it

(43:27):
making it toxic. If you do those things. In Secretary
Kennedy and pushing on that the MAHA movement will deliver
better and healthier foods. But I've got to this point
just as plug for of course of Medicare Medicaid, please
start up. Prevention is going to see somebody when you're
not feeling well. Every single person who becomes goes on
Medicare is given a free annual exam, but only about

(43:47):
half the people use it, maybe less. So if you're
given an opportunity to have a doctor and expert look
at your body and give you wisdom that you could
take into your home and improve your well being, I
want you to do it. Why do we give it
away from free because it saves us money? Because if
you have insights from your coach, you're going to play
the game of health better.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Doctor Ozie. That's awesome. Thank you, Thank youks so much
forgot what you having me on all the best absolutely
and root for you.

Speaker 9 (44:11):
Really, I appreciate it very much.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Thanks much. News Talk eleven ten out of nine three WBT.

(44:37):
I'm not going to talk about it. I'm not going
to talk about it. Don't. You can ask me all
you want. I'm not going to talk about it. You
know what I'm talking about, but I'm not going to
talk about seven oh four five seven eleven ten. I
think that made myself up perfectly clear there, all right,
I want you to hear this. This is a This
was another person I got an opportunity to talk with, Yes,

(45:01):
and this is about the border. We had a number
of different sort of opportunities to talk about the different
stuff that's important. These are a couple of sound bites
that I got for you. They're not like long form interviews.
Ron Vitello he runs customs and Border Patrol. He is
a guy who works to secure the border. I asked

(45:24):
him about that, and here is cut number one on
the border.

Speaker 10 (45:28):
Go.

Speaker 11 (45:28):
If you come to the border now, you are likely
to be apprehended. When you're apprehended, you're likely to be
prosecuted by the Department of Justice, and then you'll be
removed in the immigration system quite quickly.

Speaker 8 (45:38):
So that keeps people.

Speaker 11 (45:40):
From thinking that they can come in here and get
a release into the United States. And so that just
mutes the traffic, gives our agents on the ground more
time and opportunity to find people that are in distress,
to rescue people from being trafficked, and then stop the
narcotics that are still coming.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Okay, so we were told, does everybody remember this, because
if you don't remember this, I don't want to insult you,
but does everybody remember when Joe Biden said, and I noticed,
we don't have any the Biden defenders around here today
for whatever reason. Do you remember when he said that

(46:18):
we could not secure the border because he needed a law.
Do you remember when he was saying that, Kamala Harris
went down to the I think she went to El Salvador?
Right did she go? Did she go to El She
went to El Salvador. Wasn't that the land of Maryland Man?
She went to Maryland Man Man area. Okay, So remember

(46:40):
when Joe Biden said, I can't just blame I blame
the Republicans. The Republicans, they haven't passed anything so I
can actually secure the border. I don't remember. I don't remember.
Do you remember this when Joe Biden said that? And
then when did Donald Trump get that bill where he

(47:01):
could just secure the border? How'd that happen? How did that?
How did did Donald Trump violate the laws by enforcing
the border?

Speaker 10 (47:12):
Well?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
No, not at all. Ron Vittello is laying out there saying, listen,
you have to do the work to secure the border.
You know what else you have to do? You have
to go into American cities, and you have to use ice,
and you have to use whatever else is necessary so
that you are going to be able I know this

(47:34):
is very, very controversial, so that you are going to
be able to let's just say this, stop having people
killing people on the streets of the United States. Like
that's not a hard thing to understand. That's not a
hard thing to understand. I mean Ron Vittello cut number

(47:55):
two of Ron Vittello. Let's hear it.

Speaker 11 (47:57):
Go ahead, someone who's in the country illegally, who then
commits another crime in that jurisdiction. So the deputy chare
for the local police officer says, hey, that person doesn't
deserve to be on the street. Let's get him into
the judicial system. And then when they're done with that adjudication,
then they just let them back out to reoffend. And
so that's a destructive policy for the people who live
in those jurisdictions. And it also is a very inefficient

(48:17):
use of government resources because you have someone that you
can adjudicate and never commit another crime in the United
States by having them removed. And again, like I said before,
if you get removed from the United States, say, it's
much more difficult to come back than it might have
been a year ago.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Wow, who knew? Now, somebody. I don't want to embarrass
a person, But they said to me a couple of
weeks ago, how come we always hear about border patrol?
We always hear about border patrol. But isn't it true that?

(48:55):
And I'm going to let you hear this in the
aftermath of the update coming up here in a second.
They said, but what about customs? Customs and border patrol?
What is customs? And the person was very nice, they
were very well meaning, and they said to me, oh, okay,
I know what customs are. It's like where you you
live within another country and you do the things that

(49:18):
the people do. Know, that's not it, That's not customs. Customs.
Customs is really good customs, I would argue, is delicious.
Coming up after the update, News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine,

(49:53):
three WBT, It's the Brettwater Bowl Show. It's great to
be with you, and I'm welcoming into the program. Somebody
whose work is very important, vital, vital, vital, especially for
the midterms. It is Casey Crosby joining us. How are you.

Speaker 12 (50:06):
I'm doing great, How are you.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Oh, I'm doing I'm doing well. It's great to catch
up with you. I want to talk about the midterm strategy,
but I want to start with what we're seeing in
so many of these jurisdictions that seem to be offended
by people trying to knock back criminality and danger and
all that sort of stuff on the streets. Can you

(50:30):
unpack that for me a little bit here.

Speaker 12 (50:33):
Yeah, you know, it's absurd to me that the Democrat
Party right now is fighting against keeping our cities safe.
You know, I was a crime victim several years ago.
I had a man break into my house when I
was home, pregnant with a toddler in the bed, and
it is absolutely terrifying. And to think that anybody would

(50:54):
be fighting against keeping our streets safer is absolutely absurd.
And thank God that we have President Trump in office,
who is you know, fighting for our cities and fighting
for our people. I mean, people just want to feel
safe in their communities. And you know, I look at
again just the craziness of fighting against this, and I

(51:15):
guess it goes to a bigger problem that the Democrats
have is the fact that their message isn't resonating with
people people want to live in safe cities, they want
to have a good economy, they want to be able
to buy homes, and you know, the Democrat parties just tanking.
If you look at their approval ratings right now, I
think they're sitting at around nineteen percent. They've got to
vote voter registration problem, they have a fundraising problem, and

(51:38):
it's because they're just not willing to do the simple
stuff and stick up for everyday Americans.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Is when you think about this, because you're a strategist,
you understand you know, good good policy, good good policy making,
and things like that. They seem to be abandoning huge
swaths of their base. I mean Chicago, Altimore, Washington, DC,
Los Angeles's, southern California. What is the upside for that?

(52:09):
It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me
at all, other than it feels like they're taking a
knee and maybe trying to rebuild something coming up in
twenty twenty eight. But I can't imagine that a party
would be functioning like that.

Speaker 12 (52:21):
I mean, when you just look at the fact that
they're losing registrations, I think it's acrossed thirty states that
actually track party registrations and you see that they've lost
two point one million voters while the Republican Party has
gained two point four million voters. It doesn't seem to
me that that's a party that's trying to rebuild on anything.

Speaker 13 (52:40):
You know.

Speaker 12 (52:40):
In fact, I think they're a meeting this week, the
Democrat National Committee, and they're more focused on passing resolutions
condemning President Trump's for six months in office, when you know,
it's ludicrous because he's pulling at just such extreme high numbers.
The American people are with them, and it's simply because
he makes promises and he keeps his promises, and you know,

(53:03):
he's doing exactly what he said he was going to
do during the campaign, and you know, the American people
see it for what it is. He's getting stuff done.
While the Democrats have no leadership, they have, they have
no issues that are resonating with anybody, and it's just
they just continued to decline.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
One of the things that I think is very interesting
I was at I was at the White House yesterday
spending time at our radio row, and we got to
talk to a lot of people, especially dealing with border issues.
We were told we were told extensively that Joe Biden
had to have paperwork to try to secure the border,
to do that sort of stuff. The border is is

(53:41):
a hugely important issue, and it's a huge promise that
was made by the president who was able to actually
pull it off pretty quickly. What about that? How do
we how do we attribute that sort of approach as well?

Speaker 7 (53:54):
Well?

Speaker 12 (53:55):
I think what we're seeing very clearly is we just
needed a new president to get this taken care of.
I mean, in the past three months there have been zero,
I mean it's remarkable, zero illegal border cross things. I
mean that would have been unheard of a year ago.
And again, it just speaks to President Trump and his
leadership and simply we just needed a new president who

(54:16):
was willing to come in and do the things that
needed to be done to keep American safe.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Yeah. Absolutely great to catch up with you, my friend.
It's wonderful to have you on the program. Where do
people go to follow you on X Can you share
your handle out there?

Speaker 14 (54:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (54:30):
Sure, it's at KC for the number four GP.

Speaker 15 (54:35):
Pretty easy.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Okay, very good, very good. Great talking to you. Thanks
so much for being on the show today.

Speaker 12 (54:40):
Thanks for having me. I look forward to talking to
you again soon.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Absolutely, you can count on it. Thanks so much. It's
been a pleasure of having that conversation with that in mind,
with that in mind, and the border issues and the
things that we're talking about. Ron Vitello, I was talking
to them yesterday. They're actually this is shocking. I'm just
gonna play this. I'm going to comment on it in advance.
This is Ron Vitello on the big, big win that's

(55:07):
happening down at the border cut three.

Speaker 11 (55:09):
So there's a lot of velocity in that space in
the sense of tariffs and taxes and changes in our
trade policy around the globe, and so CVP is the enforcer,
if you will, order of tariffs and taxes. So lots
of change, lots of momentum, lots of velocity. But we
are bringing in a lot more to the Treasury than

(55:29):
we had previously. People don't know this, but Customs and
Border Protection is the second largest contributor to the Treasury
besides the irs, right, so they're number one. Yeah, So
in a normal year it's about sixty five billion or so.

Speaker 8 (55:44):
But this year, because.

Speaker 11 (55:45):
Of the changes and the reinforcement that you know, making
America the place where people come to do business, and
the President's agenda has brought in a lot more revenue
to the treasury than we've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
What hold on, we're making money?

Speaker 6 (55:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Are we taking money in? We're not just like barreling out.
What did he say? Sixty five billion dollars coming in?
Sixty five sixty five billion dollars. If I get Isaac,
if I gave you sixty five billion dollars, what would
you do it? You wouldn't know, you'd never seen me again. No,

(56:19):
whoa this is? You know what this is? This is?
This is a mutiny. I just got hit by a mutiny.
Ladies in gentlemen, I disappear to some island.

Speaker 14 (56:27):
The wads I ever heard of?

Speaker 1 (56:28):
What do you go to an island for for?

Speaker 10 (56:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (56:31):
I know why, I know, I know what. I know
why you would do that, I understand because you want
to go and find out what's gonna happen with that
three I Atlas thing that's uh that's up there running
around flying around. Oh, I'm gonna look. I got new
information in the last six hours, and you know where
I got it? From space dot Com. It's the closest

(56:52):
I'll get to space is the website because I don't
like space. I don't want space. I just need a
little space, very little. Coming up one of my favorite people,
you know her, you know who she is coming up
at four point fifty Beth Troutman coming in and breaking

(57:15):
it down news dig Hey, wait, that's the Beth Troutman
song for our program.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Still, that's right fashion when we're done.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
It is the time of the week where I get
to spend time with Beth Troutman. Sometimes it's with Bo Thompson,
but this week it's Beth Troutman. As you hear from
the Groove is in the Heart song, Beth Troutman, how
are you welcome back to the program.

Speaker 15 (57:55):
Hello, I'm fabulous. How are you do when you got
to me early today? I kind of love it.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Well, well, listen when I'm ready to go, and where
we were talking about all kinds of stuff. I mean,
let's just do it. This is this is this is
a really good stuff. Uh anything in the news kind
of sparking, Uh, your your your your your feather or
anything like that. What are you thinking about right now?

Speaker 15 (58:17):
Well, I'll tell you the back and forth between Governor
pittsker And and Donald Trump has been quite fascinating the
idea of of of Donald Trump wanting to send the
National Guard troops to Chicago in the way that he
has in Washington, d C. And and Governor Pittsker saying, hey,

(58:40):
this is not what we want in Illinois. And you know,
the back and forth between the two is is getting
kind of kind of fascinating. But I mean, also what
is happening between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and and
Zelenski and how that has all become so incredibly complex

(59:02):
and complicated, and just when you think a solution might
be on the door of Vladimir Putin turns around and
does something unexpected and quite violent. And that has been
a fascinating thing to watch Donald Trump try to maneuver
around because you can tell his level of frustration and
his level of anger with Vladimir Putin, because I do

(59:26):
believe that he thought he had a better relationship with
Vladimir Putin than what Putin is now demonstrating. And I
think that is disappointing to Donald Trump. I think as
he has had success and I've pointed to what happened
between India and Pakistan multiple times, and the success that
he had in de escalating what was going on between

(59:49):
those two countries. I think he thought that he would
be able to utilize the people on his team, the
Marco Rubios, to try to de escalate what's going on here.
And you're just dealing with somebody who is a bad actor.
Oh yeah, and and on on every level, a bad actor.

(01:00:09):
And will come and we'll shake hands, and we'll act
impressed by the bombers that are flying across the sky,
and you know, act like he wanted some measure of diplomacy.
And then to turn around and the day that Zelenski's
in the Oval office to launch an attack, and then

(01:00:31):
beyond that, to launch an attack on American factory there.
All of that has just been a frustrating thing to
watch and a fascinating thing to watch Donald Trump try
to figure out how what the next step is.

Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
And I think what's really important about what you're saying
here is when when he's had enough, When when Trump
President Trump has had enough, we have really not seen
I don't think him blow his stack, whatever that means.

(01:01:05):
And I do think this is a wrestling match or
or a you know, a pushing match, whatever you want
to call it. And Vladimir Putin is he's been a filthy,
dirty bad guy for forever. I mean, yeah, all you
have to do is go back and look at the
gassing of people in the theater and all that. I mean,

(01:01:27):
he's he's a really bad person. But when what will
happen I think with the president, with our president, is
that when he's had it and he goes out and says, Okay,
this is it, We're done. You're going to I think
there's going to be a reapproach that's going to come
back to Trump. I think the Europeans are going to say,

(01:01:50):
all right, this is the Coalition of the Willing or
however they want to put it. And I think that's
what is going to be really interesting. And the thing
to watch at that point in the time is to see, okay,
where is South Korea? Where are the allies around the
world who are supposed to line up and make this
thing very very serious. And also the thing to watch

(01:02:13):
is going to be the markets, because are we going
to see the markets go up or are people going
to freak out when Trump has finally had enough of
this sort of stuff. It's a very interesting and scary
sort of a dynamic but you know, that's nobody said
that this was going to be an easy job by
any stretch.

Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
No.

Speaker 15 (01:02:32):
And I think what has been so difficult for Donald
Trump to really swallow down is the fact that he
thought it was going to be, you know, much much
easier for him to do, and it is proving to
be incredibly complex and incredibly complicated because you have a
man who wants to, you know, restore a Soviet empire exactly.

(01:02:55):
He has dreams of being a dictator are of huge,
large slots of people. And when when his ego is
the way that it is, he's not going to it
doesn't look like he's going to back down without the
concessions that he wants. And I don't think the concessions
that he wants are going to be appropriate for the

(01:03:18):
rest of the world.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
And you know, you look at like, who are the
allies that that roll with with Putin right, It's it's
countries that you really wouldn't necessarily want to experience. And
I'm not I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I mean,
we're talking about Armenia, Belarus, Kazakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia to Jikistan, China,
North Korea and Iran. I don't want to roll with

(01:03:40):
any of those guys. You know. It's a professor famously
said one of my classes that I took, and they
they used to refer to all of those countries, and
I'm sorry, I don't. I'm not I'm going to take
the hit on this, but he would. This professor, who
was a former KGB guy, said that the inside you know,

(01:04:06):
normative for it was Trashghanistan because they were so poor
for so many years underneath the Soviet Union, and then
they got out of that, and then now they've kind
of gone right back into it, which is just so strange.
I would I would think everybody would want to have trade,
but you know, who knows.

Speaker 15 (01:04:24):
People don't always make sense. I think sometimes egos get
in the way of what is the best for the
people that you're leading, right, and I think we're seeing
that happen on a on a grand, large, horrible scale
in the way that this is unfolding. But I like
that the professor said Trashghanistan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Yes, he referred to the entire area as trash Canistan,
but he could do it because he was from that area.
What you got coming up on the Big Show tomorrow.

Speaker 15 (01:04:52):
Well, as always on Wednesdays, we have our cybersecurity expert
Teresa Pyton joining us to talk all things tech. We
also have Scott Hoffman, a professor of political science at
Winter University, joining us to go over these stories that
you and I were just talking about, to go over
what's going on with Chicago, to go over what's going
on between the relationship between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump,

(01:05:15):
or the lack of relationship, I should say. Plus we'll
cover all of the other political headlines and news headlines
that are coming up, and we'll get you smiling and
get you laughing on your way into work.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
Enjoy the evening and into the morning. Thanks so much,
my friend. Good to be with you.

Speaker 15 (01:05:28):
Ah, I always love talking to you. It's my favorite
part of the week.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Thanks very much. Thanks a lot. That's how best trout Maan.
I'm Brett Witterbold News Talk eleven ten, nine and three WBT.
It's the Brett Winterble Show. It is great to be

(01:05:52):
with you. This is our number three. This is your
opportunity to pick up the phone and call check in
with us seven oh four five seven year eleven ten.
You can also check in with us on the WDBT
text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. That telephone number
happens to be seven zero four five seven zero one

(01:06:13):
one one zero. It's it's good to be with you
as we look at a bunch of stuff that is
happening all in all in real time. And that's what
we do. We do the show in real time. It's
there's no secret to it. It is just about us
doing this in real time. By the way, the James
Web Space Telescope has taken its first look at the

(01:06:34):
interstellar Comet three I at Liss with unexpected results. Remember
we've been talking about this for a few weeks. I
don't believe in space, many of you do. NASA's ten
billion dollars Space Telescope studied the third interstellar object to
enter the Solar System, measuring the chemical contents of its halo.

(01:07:01):
No not the hay noow the halo. The James Web
Telescope has observed that interstellar visitor for the first time.
The powerful Space telescope trained its infrared vision and its
near infrared spectrograph instrument on the comet on August the sixth.

(01:07:26):
It was discovered back in July that this thing may
be coming towards us, and they wanted to find out
what the deal was. So the j West follows in
the footsteps of the Hubble space telescope and the sphere
x situation. So what did they find? What did they find? Okay,

(01:07:48):
here's here's what we got. In a pre print paper
describing the investigation, they observed the comet with the with
the spectrography, and it explains that the comets like this
from other far systems helped to study what conditions were
like in those systems before they were forming. Those results

(01:08:11):
can then be compared to what scientists have learned about
the conditions around the Sun four point six billion years ago,
So you're looking backwards. When the comets approach the Sun
and are warmed by its heat, frozen materials within them
are transformed from solids. Just like you've eaten dinner, you

(01:08:32):
get converted into gases. The results in gases escaping is
called outgassing, and as expected, its outgassing is happening as
it's going to approach the Sun, and the astronomers have
used the spectrograph to identify carbon dioxide, water, water, ice,

(01:08:54):
carbon monoxide, and the smelly gas carbonyl sulfide in its
coma or comma. What wasn't expected, however, was the highest
ratio of carbon dioxide to water ever absorbed on a comet.

(01:09:17):
So what do we know. We don't know. But it's
got a lot of stuff that we have here which
is kind of interesting. And it is a comet, they're saying,
So I guess it's probably not a spaceship. It's probably
just a comet that that's coming in this way. More
to be learned, Jim, Welcome to the program, Jim, what's

(01:09:41):
on your mind?

Speaker 12 (01:09:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:09:44):
You know what that means? If it's got oxygen carbon.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
Dioxide, yes, sure, right, what is it?

Speaker 14 (01:09:50):
That means that something is exchanging of oxygen and making carbon,
making the carbon dioxide, and that would be something underwater
or that would be excuse me, doing a gas exchange,
meaning that they're pushing something through something biologic and again

(01:10:12):
enhancing it a blood system or something.

Speaker 16 (01:10:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
The only time, the only time I've ever had it, yeah,
the only Yeah, the only time I ever have a
gas exchange is when I go to the to the
store to get another tank for cooking outside. Yes, we have.

Speaker 14 (01:10:31):
Plenty of opportunities for gas exchange here with all the
Mexican restaurants that are here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
So I really wish that you know, he just did it, Isaac,
he did it. He did it. You know what he did.
He killed the show. Oh my gosh, we almost got
through the show. Jim. Okay, I think it's time for
us to have a have a quick huddle up here
for a quick second. Go ahead, let let that. Let

(01:10:57):
the dirge go. That's okay, there we go. You can
let it go. I think we got to call him
Jim the Killer because he kills our show, making obvious jokes,
no good. She thought it was funny. News Talk eleven

(01:11:20):
to nine three WBT. Oh just Stan is up next stand?
Try to resurrect the show? Please? What's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (01:11:27):
I sit my best here, Brett. Okay, I want to
go with something. Donald Trump proposed a loll protecting the
flag from burning, making it a crime, and you can
be punished by one year improvement.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Yes, okay.

Speaker 10 (01:11:41):
And there's some people out there you want to service
out her saying, well, you don't want to go down
that road because it's a freedom of speed. So I
want you to put shoe on the other floor. Suppose
people were openly burning the Pride flag. How would that look?

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
I imagine you would have people who were offended. I
imagine there's people that are, you know, okay with you
know what I'm not I'm not an arsonist, so like
I don't want I don't like burning stuff in public
like that, you know, I mean that's just so yeah,
I'll look up.

Speaker 10 (01:12:12):
Yes, you can be charged if you if burning if
this burning the flag is considered biased against someone, or
it's just the order to conduct. Here's in a summary. Well,
flag Bernie is the very protected speak of contact matters.
If the act is motivated by hate or cause this
public disruption, it could lead to consequences beyond that. So

(01:12:32):
so here's so here's my point. Yeah, when did you
ever burn the flag in a public setting like that
where that wouldn't be true?

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
Well, I think that's I think that's I think that's
a fair point. But here's the thing. He amended he
amended that that that issue yesterday and what he said
because he said, okay, if you burn the flag, we're
gonna you're gonna go to go under arrest or whatever
he said. Then he came back and he said no, no, no,

(01:12:58):
if you burn the flag and it results in violence,
you're gonna be prosecuted. So it's not the thing that
people are talking about with it being okay, if you
just burn the flag, which I would never do that personally.
I mean, it's just that's me.

Speaker 10 (01:13:14):
No, no, no, most normal people.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
Would not right, right, right, So they he had to
make that extension to it that said, it's if it
results in violence as a result of the burning flag,
then you're gonna go to the pokey, You're gonna go
to jail. And so but I don't know how this
is gonna work. And the fact of the matter is,
I wish people would be more decent and not burn

(01:13:37):
the American flag like I think. I think. I think
I love my country. I don't love everything. I don't
you know, Look, I love my country. Do I love
my government? I don't know. You know, it depends on
what the government's gonna do. But the fact of the
matter is, I just hope nobody burns the American flag.

Speaker 10 (01:13:53):
Last four years, No, I didn't love it, but I
wouldn't burn the flag.

Speaker 15 (01:13:57):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:13:58):
We're trying to do a bit and change it with right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
And when you look at the Middle East and when
you look at the Middle East, like, where do people
get all these American flags? I never understood this where
they were that they're burning. It's like we should stop
shipping them there? All right, man, thanks, I appreciate it.
Thanks Dan, you you resurrected the show News Talk eleven

(01:14:30):
ten that did. I'm three w BT. Let me do
this this this is going to be interesting for you.
So there's a guy by the name of Joe Lavorgnia, right, Joe,
Joe Lavorna is a high ranking person in the Treasury Department,

(01:14:50):
and so I had a chance to talk to him yesterday.
I had a I pulled a couple of clips for you.
Because people want to know what's going to happen with
the the tax cuts. Right, people want the tax cuts.
They want those tax cuts. They want to know if
they're going to get their money, how this is all
gonna work. So I'm gonna go cut number five first.

(01:15:13):
This is cut number five, and this is Joe Lavorgna
talking about when we'll start seeing tax cuts kick in. In
cut five.

Speaker 16 (01:15:20):
President Trump wanted to get billed on July fourth. And
I can't even tell you how many people would tell
me in the private sector it's never gonna happen to
everyon happen.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Don't bet against President and Trump. It got done.

Speaker 16 (01:15:29):
And the reason that's important is on the no tax
on tips, no tax on overtime. You know, the IRS
with the Treasury. Treasury is obviously part of the IRA
sure IRIS part of the Treasury is working on these rules.
So by getting this bill done as President Trump wanted,
those rules could be in effects if people could get
their refunds early, and they could get it in twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
So hopefully it's coming.

Speaker 16 (01:15:51):
I don't know exactly when to day, but the fact
that we got the bill done when President Trump wanted
in record time means that people are going to get
their harder money back sooner than they would have under
any other president if they had the foresight to actually
do with the president. What will President Trump do?

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
So there you go. So he's forecasting that once we
get into twenty six, that's when the that's when you're
going to start to see the money coming your way.
Cut number four talking to Joe Lavornia, counselor to the
Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessant, talking about wages going

(01:16:27):
up and what the impact has been Cut for.

Speaker 16 (01:16:29):
You have high inflation, it's the middle and lower classes
that suffered disproportionately, people who look paycheck to paycheck. And
what we saw under President Trump's first term was record
growth in real household incomes, especially for the middle and
lower income groups. And what we've seen already since he's
been in office is a return of what we call
a blue collar wage boom. The blue collar workers, you know,

(01:16:51):
these are people who basically are punching a clock. They're
the carpenter's, electricians, nurses, assistants, you know, the people with
the backbone of the labor market seeing their real wages
rise at the second fastest pace in the last sixty years.
It's eclipsed and only by a tenth so far by
President Trump and his first It's been a repeat performance,
and we're very optimistic that we're going to see faster

(01:17:14):
gains going forward as inflation moderates more and worker wages
nominal wages tied to fast productivity gains accelerate.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
So can you imagine, not to tie everything back to
street violence and things like that, could you imagine what
the American economy would look like if you were calculating
for the damage that's done. When people should each other,

(01:17:42):
kill each other, neighborhoods go downhill, all that kind of stuff,
Right you, This country should be a show palace. It
should be the place where everybody wants to come to
the United States. And pretty much they do. Pretty much
they do. People are able to emigrate into the United States.

(01:18:05):
People are able to experience the blessings of the United
States in many cases. Heck, I mean, and for the
life of me, I can't explain it. Don't try to
ask me. I don't understand. You know, we've got six
hundred thousand people who come into the United States from
China to study here. And I'm not anti Chinese, I'm

(01:18:27):
not anti anybody. But what I want to know is, Okay,
who's sending you? Why are you coming here? What is
your intent? Is your intent to reside in the United
States and make the United States a better country? What
is the purpose of you doing this sort of stuff.
But to get back to the crises that we're talking about,

(01:18:49):
the crises that are violence in the streets. We were
talking earlier in this program, right out of the box,
about this horrific murder on the light rail. Every person
who loses their life right that is a cost. I

(01:19:09):
think I did, did I? I think it was last week.
I think the number was one hundred billion dollars in spending.
And it's not that the federal government spends that. It's
that that's the aggregate of people killing each other, loss
of spouse's, loss of opportunity, being maimed. All that sort

(01:19:33):
of stuff costs money. And so when you perceive that
a place is not safe, what do you do? What
do you do if you're driving around and somebody makes
a comment to you and you're familiar with the area
they're talking about, and they say something like, so, what's

(01:19:55):
it like over there? And you go, you know what,
we don't really go over there because it's kind dangerous
and we don't know how that's going to work, and
we want to be safe, and we don't want you
to have a problem. And I don't want to have
a problem. None of that kind of stuff like that.
This is the fundamental failing in so many ways. Cut
number fifteen. This is Brandon Johnson and Morning Joe. I

(01:20:20):
was shocked that Joe Scarborough couldn't get a straight answer
from Brandon Johnson. But this is from earlier today. Cut
fifteen would you.

Speaker 17 (01:20:29):
Also like to get federal funding to help put five
thousand more cops on the street in Chicago?

Speaker 8 (01:20:36):
Would that help try doown crime?

Speaker 13 (01:20:39):
Well, Look, policing by itself is not the full strategy.

Speaker 17 (01:20:42):
I understand, Lavi, if you've talked about the other things
you want, and I said, those are good and important programs.
But I'm asking also, would five thousand more police officers
on the street in Chicago be helpful to go along
with all of those social programs and a lot of
cities are engaging.

Speaker 8 (01:21:01):
In and having success with.

Speaker 13 (01:21:04):
Look, here's the best way I can put it, Joe,
is that in the nineties when I was in high school,
we had three thousand more police officers and we had
nine hundred people being murdered every single year in Chicago.
It's just not policing alone. Of course we want more detectives.

Speaker 17 (01:21:18):
Of course I know it's not But I know it's
not policing alone. You've told me everything else you want.
I'm curious, and this this does come down to an
ideological difference between between people.

Speaker 8 (01:21:32):
Do you believe that the streets.

Speaker 17 (01:21:35):
Of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed
police officers on the streets of Chicago.

Speaker 13 (01:21:42):
I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America
would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.

Speaker 17 (01:21:50):
Look, okay, that's not the question I asked my question.

Speaker 8 (01:21:53):
But and I just I answer, now, do you believe
the streets of Chicago would be safer.

Speaker 17 (01:22:01):
If you got all of those other extraordinary programs put
back into place, which do have a history being successful.
If that's if that's complimented by having five thousand more
cops on the streets of Chicago.

Speaker 13 (01:22:17):
I don't believe that we should narrow it down to
just police officers. On what I'm saying, that is an
antiquated approach. I'm saying I've been invested in mister.

Speaker 8 (01:22:25):
Mary hearing what I'm saying.

Speaker 17 (01:22:27):
I'm agreeing with you that all of these other social
programs are extraordinarily important. I just need a yes or
a no, and then this will be the last time
I ask.

Speaker 8 (01:22:36):
If you get all of those other social.

Speaker 17 (01:22:39):
Programs that that eight hundred million that New York City does,
Los Angeles and other people do with great success, would
an additional five thousand cops on the streets in Chicago
help compliment those programs to make Chicago safer.

Speaker 13 (01:22:56):
Look, we are working hard to make sure that our
police department is fully supported. I don't believe that just
simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is
the answer.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Okay, I'll tell you what I think afterwards. So I
looked at the numbers when it comes to violence aggregated

(01:23:29):
across the year, you're talking about the byproduct of violence
in dangerous streets four hundred and twenty six billion dollars.
Because you have to spread all of this out right,
because you have hospitals, you have funerals, you have loss
of wages, you have loss of life, you have all

(01:23:50):
that sort of stuff. Plus it also has a terrible
impact on communities. And that's that is a just an
awful reality that we're looking at. And it's very hard
to come back from being labeled as you know this
or that. You have to do the hard work to

(01:24:11):
make sure that people feel comfortable there. Right, Looking at
a piece over here on this issue with the Charlotte
City Council. What are Charlotte City Council members saying about
the fatal South End stabbing. Arena Zarutzka, twenty three, was
stabbed to death Friday night on a LYNX Blue Line

(01:24:32):
train in South End. I so disagree with the headline
the way they wrote this at CNC. What are the
Charlotte City Council members saying after the fatal South End stabbing?
It was an assassination, it was a murder, It was
a killing. This isn't like like it's just a stabbing.

(01:24:57):
This is a problem. We have to elevate the this issue.
At Monday Nights meeting, multiple Charlotte City Council members demanded
action following a fatal stabbing of a twenty three year
old on a light rail train number one. Let's just
say this a murder of a twenty three year old,

(01:25:19):
a murder, not a fatal stabbing. A murder took place.
Lives matter. Arena Zarutska was stabbed to death, murdered. The
word is murdered. I don't understand why people who write
news stories use coded language with the idea of fatal stabbing.

(01:25:45):
It was a fatal stabbing, It was a killing. No,
it was a murderer, all right. It was a murder,
And I don't know why these people are afraid to
say it's a murder. A murder is a murder the
taking of a life. Investigators have identified thirty four year
old de Carlos Brown as the suspect. He is charged

(01:26:06):
with first degree murder. Wait, I thought it was a
fatal stabbing. Wait, I thought it was to see, this
is the problem. It's a murder. And he's charged with
first degree murder by the way, and we'll be arrested
once he's released from the hospital. Hmm, murder. I've heard

(01:26:29):
from several constituents regarding how they're afraid to ride our
public buses, especially after violent incidents. See, we're using soft
language for stuff that is deathly dangerous and wrong. There
were some recent violent incidents. No at Large council member

(01:26:54):
Dimple Ashmera said, we cannot let fear drive people away.
So so I would like the city manager to provide
us immediate steps that are being taken to ensure the
safety of our riders, are operators, and to restore the
confidence in the system. Very easy. We can do that
very easily. We're gonna put on the I would put

(01:27:16):
on right now. I'd bring in the the people from
UH from North Carolina, and I would say, listen, here's
what we're gonna do. We are going to bring in
the National Guard. We're gonna bring in the National Guard
like they're doing in DC, like they want to do
in Chicago, like they want to do in that. They
don't want done in Baltimore. But it needs to be

(01:27:37):
done in some cases. This is what should happen. Why
do we not have the National Guard here in Charlotte?

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
How many?

Speaker 8 (01:27:45):
How many?

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
How many homicides in Charlotte this year? How many homicides
in Charlotte? Anybody know? Let's just take let's ask mister Google,
how many homicides in Charlotte and forty two? Forty two?
It's a decrease from the fifty nine homicides in twenty

(01:28:08):
twenty four. How do you know that? Because the year's
not over yet, Like, how do you know that? Why
do you write it that way? Forty two homicides in
twenty twenty five a decrease from the fifty nine homicides
recorded in twenty twenty four. We still have three four
months left to go. That's a problem. I don't want

(01:28:30):
any homicides, especially on public transit. I don't want any homicides,
no homicides. I want people to be able to travel.
I want people to be locked up, who are dangers
to themselves or others, and dimple Ashmira wants to know
the important steps that are being taken to ensure the

(01:28:54):
safety of our writers are operators, and to restore the
confidence in the system. Member Edwin Peacock, who was appointed
to represent District six for the remainder of the term,
also questioned the gap period law enforcement is in. We
do not have the police chief that's coming in, he's

(01:29:15):
going out, he said, is the cause of this. I
don't believe. So I'm not pointing a finger at CMPD.
I'm not blaming I wouldn't. I'm not blaming the cops.
Why would you blame the cops blame the criminals? Like,
why do we always have to blame the cop not
the criminal. I vote for blaming the criminal, blaming the criminal.

(01:29:40):
And it's it's nice that Edwin Peacock what he wants
to do is be proactive and not be reactive to this.
I would be reactive if I was. If I was,
I'd be reactive as heck. I'd be walking around saying, hey, hey,
Curtis Sliwa up in New York. I don't think you're
going to get elected to the to the uh mayoralty.

(01:30:02):
Bring down the guardian angels that they can ride, they
can they can ride the light rail. Let's bring in
the National Guard. Let's bring it. Look what do we
having for Donald Trump's offering them? President Trump is offering
all this sort of stuff. Let's take advantage of it.
I think Charlotte should have the National Guard. And people

(01:30:22):
are gonna complain, They're gonna like, how dare you? Why
would you say that this is such a great city.
It is a great city. How do you keep a
city that's great? You want it to be safe?

Speaker 8 (01:30:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
Do you want to? I mean you want to go
to There's a ton of places you can go. There's
I could name five places in North Carolina alone, and
probably five in South Carolina alone that you would not
want to go to. Why turn this place into that
this is a great place, this is a great community.
They should be protected from who not regular people, criminal people,

(01:30:56):
people that are going out and stabbing people, Like run
around with stabbers? Do you run around with stabbers? No,
you don't run around saveth You don't run around at
sab I don't run around with people who are stabbing people.
If I see somebody stabbing people or being stabbed. I'm
gonna immediately get law enforcement involved. You should not be
carrying weapons on the on the rail like this is

(01:31:20):
not hard. Oh but don't, but don't you dare. Don't
you dare think that your Second Amendment rights are a
protection for you that that you need to leave it
locked up at home. Oh, don't even do it, don't
even think about it, and you should. I mean, this
is just we use this kind of language that isn't

(01:31:45):
the language that we need. Was murdered unintentionally, there was
an incident, there was this. We have to stop softening
the language. We have to stop softening the language of death,
of homicide, of murder, of assault, of rape, of abduction.

(01:32:07):
We have to not sugarcoat it. And unfortunately, unfortunately the
press doesn't want to talk about a lot of the
elements and the stories and things like that. The conversation
has to be had. The conversation has to be had

(01:32:28):
because in this time, in this moment, reality is people
want to be safe. They want to be safe, and
you know what, they deserve to be safe. Every Charlottean
deserves to be safe. People who come in to work

(01:32:48):
a job, they deserve to be safe. It's the basic line.
I want to be safe. You should be safe. You
know who shouldn't be safe? You know anybody in your
circle that you don't want to be safe. No, of
course not people who shouldn't be walking the streets. Shouldn't

(01:33:11):
be walking the streets because if they're in the mind
of committing homicides, that's a problem.

Speaker 15 (01:33:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
News Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT, it's the
Brettwater Vulnerable Show. Good to be with you. Look looking
at some of the other stories that are out there moving,
because look, there's there's a lot of stuff that's going
on here all at the same time. And when I
look at sort of what's previewing and what's coming up now,

(01:34:00):
you know, in the UH, in the in the next hours,
going into tomorrow, there's a there's a whole lot of
stuff that that's out there moving that's certainly relevant to
uh to, what is going on, uh TO, to all
of us in so many ways. I was watching some
of the cuts that had been made in the NFL

(01:34:23):
and UH one of the stories I know, I know
Isaac was curious about this. Isaac was curious about where
Shadur is is going to uh going to play there
at the Browns. No, Oh, that's the wrong guy. I
mentioned the wrong guy, and so I just I got
to say this. I'm a pretty basic person when it

(01:34:47):
comes to doing things, being part of things, and I
and I like doing all that sort of stuff. Okay,
I want to see a quarterback who's going to be
competent and delivers what is needed for a team. Okay,
I'm not a flashy guy. I don't do flashy. That's

(01:35:07):
not anything that I really do. I'm not particularly concerned
about who's dating who or where people are doing this
or they're doing that, or any of that sort of stuff.
I want to see results. I'm a results person, and
I feel like there are millions of people in the
United States and billions of people around the world who

(01:35:30):
never get the opportunity to rest easy, to do things
on their own account, all that sort of stuff. Freedom
is an important thing to think about when you are
a free person, as we all are. We are born

(01:35:51):
free people, and the fact of the matter is you
have only twenty four hours in a day, and half
of that you're probably sleeping plus or minus. I want
to see results when I go back and listen to

(01:36:13):
that Brandon Johnson comment that was going back and forth
with Joe Scarborough. He is so wrong about ignoring the
things that are necessary. There are any number of opportunities
for people to do the right thing, to make the

(01:36:36):
right decision, and so often, out of their own ego,
they decide that that's not the case, that they shouldn't
have to do stuff for other people. Why does Gavin
Newsom not rebuild what's going on in California in Pacific Palisades?
Why does Brandon Johnson want streets that are unsafe? Why

(01:37:01):
does does does any governor or mayor not want to
have the safest possible communities? What child should lose their life?
What adult should lose their life? Who is that that's
gonna sit there and say, you know what, I'm not

(01:37:22):
just go I'm just not gonna bring in more cops
because well, why would you say that? Why would you
say that? What if? What if President Trump came behind
the podium tomorrow and he said this, I want a
police officer or a security guard that is trained with

(01:37:46):
lethal force in every school in America so that we
don't have a school shooting issue. You know what will
happen people's hair will burst into flames. But unfortunately, the
people who want to be the smartest in the room
typically typically are not the people. I'm sorry. Who are

(01:38:13):
the people that understand how a parent would feel should
God forbid something happen in a school and there was
no cop there. Those elites don't understand it. We do
because we're with the people. Safe streets, safe schools, safe

(01:38:39):
on every corner in our neighborhoods. News Talk eleven to ten,
