Democratic Turmoil, DOJ Moves And More On The Brett Winterble Show

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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the Democratic Party’s historically low favorability ratings and growing dissatisfaction within its base. He quickly pivots to a broader critique of Democratic leadership, referencing Nancy Pelosi and security failures around January 6, before expanding into a wide-ranging commentary on political dysfunction across states like New York, Illinois, and Texas. The heart of Brett’s message, however, centers on education—specifically the urgent need to teach financial literacy and capitalism starting in the first grade.

Later, Brett dives into the unfolding political drama surrounding the Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas to avoid a redistricting vote, noting the governor’s deadline for their return or possible removal from office. As the situation develops in real time, Brett also highlights breaking news about the DOJ convening a grand jury related to the 2016 “Russia hoax” investigation. He speculates that key figures, including Hillary Clinton, could be called to testify.

Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Democratic Party is net fabruarrating record lows and all
three Wall Street Journal thirty points underwater, CNN twenty six
points underwater, Gallup twenty six points underwater. And that is
being driven in large pop by discontent within the Democratic base.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And so I think that a Democratic response that is responsible,
that is responsive, and that is temporary is appropriate given
these Given these facts.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh God, love you, what am I talking about?

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Nancy Pelosi on January sixth, was recording a movie.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
She as speaker was making an image.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
She said on video, I'm responsible for the security failures
of January sixth. It's actually kind of interesting when you
think about how the things are going there in Washington, DC,
Texas a different places, Illinois, Illinois, Will Illinois, you, and

(01:04):
then of course obviously the state of New York. It
is great to be with you. Sevenh four five, seven
oh eleven ten. My name is Brett woitter Bowl, and
it is great to be with you here today. It's
it's incredible to see that, like all these do overs
are starting to show up, and there's nothing that can
be done about it because everything is breaking open, everything

(01:25):
is becoming revealed, Everything comes out in the light, right
and this is not what anybody expected. Number one, Give me,
I mean, in all sincerity, give me the big loss
since the beginning of this term. What's the big loss,
What's what's the scandal? What's the big loss? You guys

(01:46):
are still doing Epstein stuff. You guys are still doing
what tariffs? Tariffs are done. The tariffs got done. They
fired that that incompetent human who was a partisan shill
for the Biden administration, and they're going to now replace

(02:07):
that shill with somebody who's actually qualified. The WUS are everywhere,
they really are, and it's very interesting to me to
kind of look at this and to think, Okay, where
are you getting traction? What did did I hear Pete say?
Did I hear Pete say that there was like another
one of these regime rally things. Is that all they're doing.

(02:31):
I saw a quick snippet on one of the channels.
I can't remember where it was. It might it might
have been MSNBC, it might have been it might have
been Good Day something else. I don't know. And these
people are all the same people who came out and
said no Kings. They're just bringing out the same people.

(02:53):
You have to ignore what's going on with that attempt,
because it's not going to work. My advice to the left,
my advice to the left is just go sign on
with Mamdami. It's right on your brand. The Democrat Party
right on brand. Mamdami is right on brand, Anti Semitism,

(03:16):
all kinds of political chicanery, not really caring about the
bottom ninety percent who have to actually go and ride
in the subways in New York City, who have to
get to work, who have to try to get protection
with ballistic you know, ballistic windows, because God knows what's

(03:38):
going to start happening in the streets of New York City.
I mean, this is a very interesting time. And so
what I'm going to do in the interest of getting
people to understand that we can do education better. We
can do education better. So what they want is a
bunch of mum dammies. They want a whole bunch of

(04:01):
of leftists with their talking points. This is an opportunity
right now where we're sitting. This is an opportunity to
take back the reins of development, not power development. And
I know we're about to go back to school. Many

(04:21):
of you are preparing to go to school, folks, over
in Fort Mill, they're already in school. All this stuff
is going on at the same time. But what are
we going to teach our kids. What's the efficacious ability
going to be? We teach our kids how to read.
We teach our kids how to write, sort of, how

(04:42):
to multiply numbers sort of, and diagram sentence is sort of,
but we fail year after year to teach them how
to multiply their money. We send them into the world
fluent and Shakespeare, but illiterate and savings account. They can
recite the Pythagorean theorem, one or two of them can,

(05:06):
but they don't know what a roth ira is. This
is not just an oversight, ladies and gentlemen. This is
a quiet national crisis, and we can fix this. They
want to take your kids and change their gender. They
want to take your kids and put them on some
kind of a weird reading schedule where you're going to

(05:27):
be indoctrinated. Not you people, not you people, not the
beautiful people here in Charlotte, but you know around the country,
you've got that going on. So what would happen if
we wanted to raise a generation that is not only
just employed but empowered, then financial literacy must begin, not
in college, not in high school, but in the first grade.

(05:49):
This is what we should be doing. We should be
teaching these kids to become capitalists. Kids love acquiring stuff.
They love acquiring stuff. They don't understand what socialism is
at this stage of the game. This is why we
go in as a backdoor sort of approach and we

(06:10):
say to them, look at this, this is a gold bar.
Would you like a gold bar? Yes, I would like
a gold bar. And then the next time somebody comes
walking up to them and they try to tell them
to get indoctrinated with the leftist ideologies and all that
sort of stuff. We've immunized them. You could start grade

(06:32):
one foundations of value, teach the concept of money as
a tool not a toy. Introduce basic budgeting through classroom
economies with play dollars. Use stories to explain opportunity costs,
delayed gratification, and the magic of compound interest. Encourage saving

(06:54):
through real or virtual piggybanks that are tied to classroom goals.
Needs to happen. We need to reintroduce to the youngest
capitalism because if you get them early, the left is socialist.
You know what they do right, they're trying to get

(07:15):
little Bobby, little Jenny, little whoever. They want to get
them so that they will self immolate. They will go
out to a rally, they'll light themselves on fire, they'll
try to make a spectacle of themselves, and you know what,
Welcome to San Francisco, Welcome to Los Angeles, Welcome to Chicago,
Welcome to New York. But where regular people are, normal

(07:37):
people are, we need to develop them as capitalists learn
to invest, build to compete. They understand ownership. They'll understand equity,
real equity, not faco equity, and the power of a
free market. They see money not as a reward, but

(08:00):
as a responsibility. Think about the socialists and what they do.
They explore collective responsibility, social safety nets, equitable distribution. Kids
don't care about that. They understand the role of government
and regulating markets and protecting the vulnerable. Yeah, we got
a lot of that. They learned to ask how do

(08:21):
we balance profit with purpose? Let them wrestle with those ideas.
Let's take these kids over the course of the next
eighteen years. Let's take these kids and show why capitalism matters.
Capitalism's not perfect, but it is powerful. It has lifted

(08:42):
more people out of poverty than any other system in
human history. It rewards innovation, incentivizes hard work, and allows
for the upward mobility. People aren't poor because some rich
guy came in and took their money. They're never going

(09:03):
to do that because they don't have any money. This
is about a whole of protection to allow this generation
to achieve something that has never been done before, mass mass,
mass capitalism. It can be done. It shall be done.

(09:30):
And just remember this as you're yelling at the radio,
I don't really care. These kids are going to be
exposed to capitalism, and you can either have them proposed
as as financial literacy, or you can have them learned
in the street. If you have them learned in the street,

(09:54):
they're going to get stuck with payday loans and all
kinds of nonsense. Don't we practice safe capitalism. The time
is now, The time is right. We don't need we
do not need ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, of
all the folks out there. We do not need them

(10:15):
learning in the back rooms and the dark and the
dark spaces. We need them in the light to be
enlightened and to dispel the darkness that is communism and
socialism suffocate, all right. So I got a comment from

(10:45):
somebody who said, Okay, look, we're busy enough trying to
teach regular classes and all that sort of stuff. How
are we supposed to do this? Aha? Good, I'm glad
you pick that up, ladies and gentlemen, because we don't
need teachers teaching them. We need to turn this as
an external system. Teachers have enough to do on their

(11:07):
plate right now. Okay, teachers are incredibly busy, and I
have absolute respect for those people who go into that,
all right, But but we need to take it outside.
We need to develop, just like the commis did. And
these little cells, and these little cells running around doing mischief,

(11:28):
that's how you get, you know, the Soroses and all
of those people. We're going to teach them with folks
who are of a heart and of a mind to
share this information so that these young skulls full of mussias.
Rush would say, are going to understand all of the fundamentals.

(11:51):
Because the hardest thing to understand, the hardest thing to
understand is why is it that people hate? Why is
it that people hate people who are successful? And I
think that's an important point why do people hate successful people?

(12:14):
It'd be a Republican, you could be a Democrat, you
could be whatever. But why do they hate them? Why
do they hate people who succeed? I believe in the
heart of my heart that it's because the folks who
see people being successful think they stole it or cheated.
You know what they did. They put the work into it.

(12:38):
They put the work into it. There are people that
you know, they sit around and they talk about big
ideas and all sorts of things like that, but how
many of them are able to actually push through and
break through? You know, it's incredible when you take a
look at the wickness in which somebody will quit because

(13:02):
something is difficult, as opposed to Oh, can't somebody just
give this to me? Can I just get this? Can
I just know? You can't? You can't just get that.
You know that it takes practice. Right, So when you're
a little kid, you go back to being a very
young person, okay, and you can run a certain speed.

(13:26):
You're you're you're you're this fast, right, And then what
happens It starts to get more competitive, more competitive, more competitive,
and you have got to get more competitive to do that.
If you were the fastest kid in first grade? Are
you going to be the fastest kid in seventh grade?
Are you gonna be the fastest kid in college? Are
you gonna be How do you? How do you do this?
You you do the work that has to be done,

(13:50):
the hardest thing in the entire world to be a success.
Which is why you see all these democrats in Texas
running to states that they don't live in because they
can't come up with a better idea, so they want
to just go out and pretend that they're being leaders.
They're not being leaders because they don't want to do

(14:10):
the work. What they want to do is they want
to play the game. They don't want to do the
work that it takes, knocking on doors, persuading people, all
this sort of stuff, and they hide behind identity, they
hide behind color, they hide behind all sorts of things
like that everybody can be anybody can be a successful person.

(14:34):
You can put in the work while all your friends
are getting drunk on the weekend. You can put in
the work twelve hours a day, sixteen hours a day,
twenty four hours straight doing a job. Or you can
sit back and say, gosh, look at that sob he's
got that beautiful car. He stole it. He stole it

(14:56):
from everybody. He stole it. No fie steal Entrepreneurs do not.
They try to figure out what the best possible outcome
can be, and they work twice as hard to defeat
just that level because it's about breaking through. And unfortunately,

(15:21):
we're raising a whole bunch of kids who are just
willing to buy into the they stole it message message,
and that's not right. It's not right. And when you
tell your kid that you're committing a fraud on your child.

(15:53):
Posted it up over at the Brett Winnable Facebook page.
Steph Wah, So I got this kind of snarky comment
from somebody. This guy said to me. He he just
said to me about about teaching financial literacy. He said,

(16:13):
I'm gonna be so rich I don't have to care
how much money I have. So I went back and
I said, how are you going to manage your money?
And he's saying to me, I got people to do
that for me. Well, good luck. Make sure you make
sure you're you're keeping records so you know where all

(16:35):
the money went when the time comes. What wait, huh,
what are you doing this is I look, I love this. This,
this is this is a this is a great thing.
Are anybody here familiar with what's going on in Texas?
Texas is a really weird place. I grew up there.

(16:55):
I'm incredibly underwhelmed by their political system in this date
of Texas, especially because you have people on a fairly
regular basis. If you heard the breakdown from Pete earlier today,
you note that these people just decide they're going to bail,
you know, every fifteen months or whatever it is. And
I think it's a cowardly fight to just go run

(17:18):
out of the state, absconding to where else Chicago. Democratic
members of the House the Texas House of Representatives fled
the state on Sunday to break a quorum and prevent
a vote on a redistricting plan that promises to boost
the GOP's share of seats in the US House of

(17:40):
Representatives by five. In response, Governor Greg Abbott threatened to
remove them from office and of course replace them and
pursue felony charges against them using extradition powers if need be.
So you have a bunch of people who decided, Okay,
we're going to run out of the state of Texas

(18:02):
four pm Eastern is going to be the deadline, so
we're coming up on it in twenty minutes. And these
folks fled to two of the worst possible places you
could go. Number one Illinois, Number two New York City.
Why the heck would you want to go to either
of those two places unless you're looking to get robbed, mugged,

(18:25):
or shot. It's terrible. These are dangerous, incredibly dangerous places.
I wouldn't set foot in New York and I wouldn't
set foot in Chicago or the state of Illinois if
you offered me money. A quorum is the minimum number
of lawmakers present in order to conduct legislative business, a

(18:49):
tactic that they've used twice in the last twenty two
years Republicans have controlled all of Texas state government, which
ultimately then failed. The Democrats planned to stay away for
two weeks to run the clock out on a special
legislative session called by Governor Greg Abbott in order to

(19:10):
draw the new maps. By state law, the Texas House
can only conduct business when two thirds of its one
hundred and fifty members are present, meaning that at least
fifty one of the state's sixty two Democrats will stay away.
So far, fifty seven have fled the state, according to

(19:33):
State Rep. John Rosenthal, Democrat, with members fleeing to Chicago
a great even worse, Boston and New York all planned
to remain out of state until August the nineteenth, when
the special session concludes. But as you heard, Pete was
breaking this down, the governor could just keep calling, keep calling,

(19:56):
keep calling, keep calling, and these people then have to
stay out of the state. And as a you may
or may not know, the people who would be remaining
out of state would probably also be remaining away from
their jobs because Texas is not a permanent, full time legislature.
It's a okay, we go there for this period of time,

(20:16):
then we go back to our homes, then we go
back for another thing, and then we come back to
our homes. So these are these are just weird things
to try to pull off. Now I understand, I get it,
I get it. You guys are a worried in the
Democratic Party in the state of Texas because despite your

(20:37):
best efforts to newsomize the state of Texas. And that's
a that's a terminology that I use with great a
plumb newsomize. So you were hoping that all of these
dregs and weirdos would come pouring in out of the
Western states like California or Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and I

(21:04):
mean maybe the weirdest of all the states out there
in the far West. A beautiful state, but a weirdo state.
If ever there was one, and that's New Mexico. You
would figure that these people be pouring in into the
state of Texas. I mean they they've basically defiled beyond
recognition the capital city in Austin. I mean, it is,

(21:26):
it is. It is disgusting. It is an awful place
because everything goes there, right, the whole idea of like
keep Austin weird. If you've met any people from Austin,
or perhaps you're an Austin sort of a refugee who
has come to the Carolinas, that I mean, I gotta

(21:46):
tell you something, you made a really good choice because
there's just nothing but weirdos over there. But they don't
have enough. What they need is more weirdos. And you
know what they were counting on. Anybody want to guess
what they're counting on. Anybody want to guess they were
counting on the illegals to back fill the shortfalls. They figured, okay,

(22:08):
all right, we're gonna Joe Biden brought us in like
twenty two million people. There's gotta be some of them
coming into Texas don't want to stick around. And when
they do the census and all that kind of stuff, well,
the Republicans decided, you know what, we're not gonna wait.
We're not gonna wait for the next election. We're not
gonna wait beyond the road. We're gonna We're gonna go

(22:29):
ahead and redistrict now. And Gavin Newsom, mister newsom isser,
he decided, well, he's gonna do it too. And I
don't recommend that you do it, Gavy. I don't recommend
that you do it, but if you want to try
to do it, call ahead, because you know what will happen.
Every conservative state, and there's some pretty pretty mighty conservative

(22:53):
states in the United States, they're just gonna ramp up too,
and at some point it's gonna be a diminishing return
because you've already set up, you know, pretty pretty chicanearous behaviors.
I mean, just look at look at Pritzker. I mean,
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Imagine you're looking

(23:13):
at Pritzker, the governor, who is just like Simon bar Sinister.
You could just look him up, if you, if you,
if you look at if you look at Pritzker, I'm sorry,
not really, not literally, but Pritzker, he's all about it.
He's all about it because the state I mean, let's
be honest here, the state that he represents as the governor,

(23:34):
and he thinks he's going to be president. I'm telling you,
he thinks he's going to be president. This is a guy,
this is a guy who's I mean who who has rigged,
rigged all of it early and often. The state of

(23:55):
Illinois is maybe the most caustic and of course rigged
system anywhere in the United States. If you like to

(24:20):
call you know when you like, if you if this
was MSNBC, or if this was CNN, and if it
was any of those channels like that, right, ABC, NBC, CBS,
the Colbart Show, whatever, they would have a countdown clock.
But how come like Fox does not have a countdown

(24:40):
clock on on you know, escaped escaped from Texas day one,
day two, day three, Like we should have a we
need a countdown clock. See, we're so everybody's just so
boring in that regard. It's like, come on, give us
a countdown clock so we know what's going on. Like

(25:02):
the ball drops, I mean the ball drops you know,
only on the only obviously on New Year's but we
could we could have a ball drop for this when
they when they come back, when they come in. I
think that we're missing a big opportunity here, folks. We
really are just a large, large opportunity, and we're not seeing,

(25:23):
you know, we're not seeing the sort of stuff that
we need to be looking at. So we will we
will continue to watch this. But I can tell you
this right now, this is when we were talking about
the the old folk who showed up to go protest
and do that sort of stuff. You can't protest all

(25:44):
the time. It loses its punch after I would say,
after like three four times, it loses its punch. You
should wait, You should maybe do some petitioning. You should
maybe go and run for office. Perhaps handfuls of show
up to rage against the regime, protests government for the people,

(26:05):
Stop Trump. Why don't you just put the sign. It's
just like we don't like Trump, and that's it. People
would be able to get immediately to the to the messaging,
all that kind of stuff. But then there's Saint Louis.
Did you see what happened in Saint Louis? Did you
see the Shenanigans in Saint Louis? I know you did

(26:26):
because I sent you the clip in Saint Louis. I
think it's cut number? Is it five? Cut number five?
Cut number? Cut number four? Four, five or six? Okay,
this poor guy went to a soccer game. This is
cut four. He went to a soccer game in Saint
Louis and he wasn't wearing the right hat on his head.

(26:52):
If you can imagine, let it go. So I'm Michael Winzel.
I'm being asked to leave by the police. Donald try.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
The conference.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
You guys deal with the MEGA, but they don't think
not going to belave.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
They don't want anything.

Speaker 7 (27:08):
You kind of play.

Speaker 8 (27:09):
Those flags over there, those flags over.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
There, those aren't playing.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
So my questions to you guys is are these zeros
equally important for everybody?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
So the problem is the man was there was only
twenty five minutes left in the game. He was just
watching the game. He had a MAGA hat on. Somebody
got angry about it, and they bounced him out of
the soccer uh place where you go play soccer stadium?
And uh when he said, what about those flags over there?

(27:42):
Those were Pride flags. There were Pride flags and foreign
country flags and things like that, but those were approved.
You're just not allowed to wear a Maga hat at
the Saint Louis at the Saint Louis soccer city team
there or whatever they're called. And so that you gotta
know where you going. You gotta know where free speech

(28:03):
is approved and free speech is denied. And so what
he should have done was he should have called and said,
can I wear my mega hat? And when they said no,
we believe that that is not an appropriate hat to
wear at a soccer game, then he would know. Then
you would know. But he they escorted him all the

(28:27):
way out right, So they took him. He was like,
it looked like he had pretty good seats. They took him.
They had like five cops. This guy was not in
This guy was just a regular guy. He wasn't like
trying to get in a fight. This wasn't going to
be a situation like the Indiana State Fair or Cincinnati

(28:50):
or it was nothing like that at all. It's just
he was standing there watching the game, and they went
Somebody obviously pointed and said, that guy is evil. He
cannot watch a soccer game because of that hat he
has on his head. And so they bounced him. They
walked him out right. So they took him from his seat.
They took him all the way to like where the

(29:11):
concessions were, and he's walking and he's no resistance at all,
abs zero resistance at all. And he's walking and then
suddenly one of the guys says, well, if you take
the hat off, like maybe we can let you go
back to your seed. And this the guy, who I

(29:33):
believe is probably the rat said said no, no, it's
too late for that. Now he has to go. I
think the rat. I think the guy that was the
rat was the guy who saw him with the hat,
the rat hat or the hat rat whatever, and they

(29:53):
ran him off. He couldn't go, he couldn't go to
the I mean, I don't. I thought like Saint Louis
was like a was like a city, or you could
just like kind of go and enjoy your time. Look,
I guess here we go. Got to stay out of Illinois.
You got to stay out of New York. You got
to stay at a beautiful city. Makes me emotional, you

(30:13):
know about about how incredible you know? You can't You're
not welcome there. It's kind of weird, right, I'm not
really emotional about it. I don't. I don't. I'm not
a soccer guy. But the fact of the matter is,
why didn't they stop him when he walked into the

(30:33):
venue and said, hey, can you just stuff your hat
in your pocket or something? We don't we don't allow
any free speech here other than the special flags for
the people that they have the special flags? So can
we just can you just stick your hat into your

(30:54):
pocket so that the people who have the approval of
the special flags don't feel offended. I mean, there had
to be like thirty thousand people at the thing, and
it's like one guy. It's like thirty thousand on one.
I mean, nobody was like yelling at him or fighting
them or anything like that, but they just so just

(31:14):
be aware where you go. You gotta know, do you
have free speech? It's private property? Brett, No, I get it,
it's private property. I get it's private right, But you
know what I'm guessing. I'm guessing, right, now that they're
getting a lot of phone calls number one and number two.
I'm also guessing that there is public money that went

(31:37):
into building that Sucker Stadium, meaning meaning uh that you
may not like the hat I'm wearing, But if it's
public money, where does where does the where does the

(31:57):
rights to express? Where do we hang those up in
the dark closet of Saint Louis? Shame on you? All right,

(32:21):
Texas Governor's deadline for Democrat lawmakers to return to the
state or face or removal from office. That is the
deadline as of right now. And we've not seen any action.
We've not seen them come walking in, we haven't seen
anybody else being a part of the thing, and we
know we're just kind of curious about this. Also moving
in real time breaking news, DJ orders grand jury in

(32:47):
Russia hoax. This is interesting. This is interesting the way
things are going here, because you can't say that the
administration right now is wasting time doing things, et cetera.
Because they've done big things with tariffs, they've done big
things with the big beautiful bill and all that sort

(33:08):
of stuff, and then you look at this and you say, Okay,
what else is happening. Well, what else is happening is
you've got the DOJ prosecutor to take evidence to the
grand jury relating to the twenty sixteen Russia hoax. My
belief is, and I don't mean like I'm certain about it,
but what I believe will happen is Hillary Quinton is

(33:29):
going to be brought in there. They're going to bring
her into the grand jury and she's going to have
to stand tall before the men and figure out, you know,
why did you guys do this sort of stuff? Because
now you've got a whole bunch of other stuff that's
wrapped up in this, like really bad stuff. So let

(33:50):
me go. I'm going to go back to cut number one,
two and three if I can. All Right, this is
what the Democrats are upset about, and it's very specific
what they're freaking out about. Cut number one. Harry Enton says,
nobody is leading the Democratic Party right now, Nobody is

(34:10):
in charge, nobody is response for responsible for any of
this sort of stuff. Cut number one.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Democrats at this point are historically divided. It is a
complete and utter mess. It is mess here than a
hoarder's basement. What are we talking about here? The national
early poll leader twenty five percent plus. Normally that's where
Democrats are. Biden was twenty five percent plus in twenty twenty.
Hillary Clinton was at eight and sixteen. Core was in
to O four. At this particular point, there is no one,

(34:38):
no one in the Democratic race for president who's polling
at twenty five percent plus.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Okay, So that's a that's a really ugly picture. Cut
Number two, how underwater are they? This underwater cut to.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
The Democratic parties net fabru rating record lows and all three.
Wall Street Journal thirty points underwater, CNN twenty six points underwater,
Gallup tw points underwater. And that is being driven in
large pop by discontent within the Democratic base.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
So moving forward, Eric Holder, we had this in the
opening of the Last Hour, Eric Holder on targeting Trump.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Cut three, We've got to do things that perhaps in
the past I would not have supported, Like, well, this
is an authoritarian move by the White House to try
to make sure that they can rig the election, the
midterm elections in twenty twenty six. And so I think
that a democratic response that is responsible, that is responsive,

(35:35):
and that is temporary is appropriate given these given these facts.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
So what he's alluding to is the Democrats who fled
the locale of the state of Texas. Texas Rep. Who
left the state over the redistricting fight. He's been doing
an interview right now on CNN and n and it's
State Rep. James Tallarico. So he's a Democrat out of Texas.
He's doing an interview right now. He's safe and secut

(36:00):
I think in Illinois at this stage of the game.
While at the same time we're seeing action their speeches
being given about the fleeing Democrats. So we'll have to
wait and see how that ends up being handled. But
we do know a couple of other things, and these
are very very important considerations as we as we look

(36:22):
at this. Because we're just talking right now about the
grand jury against the Russia hoax thing, right, guess what
else is happening. This is cut number twelve. Jack Smith,
Jack Smith, the guy back, the guy who went after
the President of the United States, is being investigated and

(36:45):
he's going to be charged with a DOJ Hatchack Cut
twelve come back.

Speaker 9 (36:49):
Former Prosecutor Jack Smith is now being investigated by the
Office of the Special Council. You may remember Smith led
to Department of Justice criminal cases that looked at President
Trump's handling of classified documents and alleged efforts to overturn
the twenty twenty election. President Trump pleaded not guilty and
denied wrongdoing. Both cases were dropped after President Trump was

(37:11):
re elected.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Okay, so what they're saying, though, is that this is
a violation of the Hatch Act, where you get some
sort of a benefit because you are working for the
government and at the same time you're basically making a
name for yourself. They appointed you. Guys may remember there
was a guy who was an Attorney general named Murky

(37:33):
Garland Merrick Garland, who has disappeared. I don't even know
if he was ever even real, but he is a
guy who appointed Jack Smith for the position. And remember
there was the fanfare in the excitement was the eating
of hot dogs on the front lawn of the White House,
all that kind of stuff that's not really true, but
it was basically that way. Everybody was breathless and just

(37:55):
so excited about Jack Smith being a part of this.
He's that kind of guy. We had to go get
him in Europe and bring him back from the Hague,
from den Hog and bring him to the DC circuit
and we're going to specifically charge Donald John Trump with

(38:16):
stealing and everything that you can put under the sun. Well,
now he's gonna be the guy who's gonna be in
the doc. He's gonna be the guy where people are
gonna say, what did you do? What did you do?
How did you do? What are you talking about? It's
very interesting. It's very interesting in fact, just for the

(38:39):
purpose of showing you how wacko people are. Just to
show you how wacko, how crazy, how nuts folks are.
You have to understand something that Joe Scarborough said earlier today.
I'm not I don't have the I don't have the clip.
Oh no, I have the clip. Actually, this is cut

(39:01):
number ten morning. Joe says that Donald Trump got elected
because he was on trial, and he kind of owes
the system for being on trial. I'm not lying. Listen
to it in your own words. This is cut number.

Speaker 9 (39:20):
Ten, Donald Trump's ession of this event.

Speaker 8 (39:23):
Yeah, but I agree Mika with what Kenny said.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Why keep going back to it?

Speaker 8 (39:28):
Why keep mudding the water when you have Marco Rubio
and the Senate Intel Committee, your own Secretary of State
saying Paul Maniport in the twenty sixteen, Trump campaign posts
a quote grave counter intelligence threat to the United States
of America of John Durham admitting that there wasn't a
Clinton conspiracy. That actually the two emails at the heart
of that, even though he spent the entire report.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Trying to prove this.

Speaker 8 (39:52):
In the annex, he hides it in the annex and well, yeah,
the two key emails were actually most likely products of
Russian disinformation.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Like move on, get past that.

Speaker 8 (40:03):
The only people talking about Russia, Russia, Russia right now.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Are Toldsey Gabbert and.

Speaker 8 (40:08):
Others to try to distract from other things. It's not
a winner for Donald Trump. It's not a winner for
John Durham. It's not a winner for people in that.
I mean, look at Donald Trump. He is president in
a large part. Whether you agreed with the charges or not,
he's president in a large part. And he will say
to himself, because he sat at a defendant's table throughout

(40:30):
the summer of his political campaign, this does not work politically.
It always ends up blowing up politically in the face
of the people who are going after the other side.
That's by Tom Cotton's saying, you know, the Hatch Act, seriously,
give us some facts here.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
The Hatch Act.

Speaker 8 (40:48):
That's all you got again, it's just a losing political proposition.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
But President Trump isn't on the back again. He's done.
So it doesn't mean anything, Joe. It just means that
you understood in the way you just broke that down.
You knew full well that it was full of bull,
full of ble. There's talk eleven ten, nine nine to

(41:33):
three WBT. All right, So here's what's happening now in
the saga with the fleeing Texans. Uh, You've got these
folks who are now being referred for for for bad behavior.
They are they are referring for bad behavior. They are
referring for a whole lot of the stuff that's going

(41:53):
on out there. So they're gonna get referred to be
prosecuted because they did not show up and they are
ref using to come back from a couple of different states.
As I mentioned earlier, it's Illinois and then obviously also
the state of New York. Gosh, I couldn't even imagine.
It's just one of those things that I just it's unbelievable.

(42:14):
I want to talk about the folks who, in my opinion,
are absolutely underrated, and I know it's easy to go
after folks. By the way, we have a text line.
We also have a phone number, our telephone number seven
oh four five seven eleven ten and our text line
driven by Liberty Buick GMC. You can text us there

(42:38):
as well. I've gotten a couple of texts. I will
refer them to the Special Council coming up later on.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But the fact of the matter
is there's a group of people who are going back
to work, and it's the folks that are working in
the education system, and we should always be offer gratitude,

(43:01):
I think to folks who are going out making that
early morning trek to their school, to the different assignments
that they've got to do, and I think we ought
to raise our hands and give them a big wave there, okay,
and do it in the best possible way, because when
you think about what we entrust our kids, or with

(43:26):
whom we entrust our kids, it's a hugely important thing
and it's not one of these easy jobs by any
stretch of the imagination. Before the lesson plans and before
the grading and before the endless meetings, there's a moment,
right there's a moment where every teacher makes a choice
to step into a classroom and not knowing what's going

(43:47):
to be awaiting them. They maybe maybe they didn't choose
this profession for the paycheck, but they chose it for
the promise, the promise that you could reach somebody, that
you could change something that they could matter. And I
often wonder. My wife is a teacher, and I've known

(44:08):
a number of teachers by extension, but I always wonder
what you expected was that what you found. You know,
there are people who would say, I thought I'd be respected,
I thought I'd be supported. I thought I'd be able
to teach and not just manage chaos. They probably expire,

(44:32):
you know, expected to inspire, to guide, to build futures.
I know that's very true in so many cases. They
expected students who were eager and parents who were engaged
in systems that worked. But we also know what probably happens.
And I would always be curious, especially with you folks
who are getting ready to go back to school, or

(44:54):
have already gone back to school, or maybe you worked
the entire summer doing assignments and things like that. But
I'm curious to see what surprised you Was it the
emotional weight of the job. Was it the number of
hats that you have to wear, you know, counselor nurse, referee, cheerleader.
How about the heartbreak of watching a student give up

(45:16):
or or the joy of watching one refuse to I
always wonder as we get into this at this time
of the year, because it's it's an incredible thing that
happens at this time of the year, this specific time
of the year, and it is everybody remembers going to

(45:36):
school for the first time, and everybody remembers for the
most part, getting out of school, when you were done,
when you're with your K twelve, you know, assignments, and
everybody has a feeling at this time of the year.
You know, like I said, maybe in a couple more weeks,
it may have been in the last couple of days.

(45:58):
These folks, these folks are are going above and beyond.
In many cases, not everything is perfect, but these are
folks who care about our kids. These are people who
care about spending time with them and wanting them to succeed.

(46:19):
I mean, if you added up all of the hours,
if you just went all of the hours from from
A to Z, you would find very quickly that those
numbers of hours are are are way more than you
expected they would be. And I think one of the

(46:41):
most incredible things to see is the tenacity of many
of these teachers, right, the tenacity and having to deal
with difficult situations and also seeing what it must be
like to triumph to get somebody to be in a

(47:02):
better position than they were when they were coming in.
So in my mind, and I'm more than happy to
extol all the great stuff about you guys. I respect
the teachers. I've had many great teachers in my life,
and I've had some stinkers, and you work with some stakers,
and you've got the people that you don't necessarily want
to be around necessarily on any given day. But I

(47:26):
do believe in addition to the paycheck, it's also about
watching young people grow and succeed. News Talk eleven ten

(47:54):
out of ninem three WBT. Okay, we've got some feedback
coming in courtesy the WBT text line driven by Liberty
Buick GMC, and I want to I want to check
in with some of the people who have sent me
some messages. Lo ol on full of BULLA poor morning, Joe,
He's grasping at straws and living in a fantasy. I

(48:15):
do agree with that. Yes, that is absolutely right. Um,
this is a person Doug saying, what do they think
war looks like? Of course there's death and starvation. Those
people chose their leadership. They hate us, the poor children innocent.
Hence war is hell. And if you if you refuse

(48:38):
to do your job, you should be fired. Okay, I
got that. We also got this coming in. Okay, Danny
on the Eric Holder front. Eric Holder meant temporary in
the Dems will jerry mander every election every chance they get.
By the way, you have the best bumper music, Danny
in the Mountains. I appreciate that, Danny in the Mountains.

(49:00):
I but it's beautiful there, nice and cool. And then
we've got a look, we've got a person who is requesting. Now,
this is always interesting. He's requesting solar Angels by Judas Priest.
I will try to we'll try to work on that one.
And then finally, Brett, how do you feel about our
cowboys and the Micah situation. I'm very frustrated with the

(49:25):
Jones family. Wanted your take, Thanks, Matt. Okay, here's what
I'll say about that. I will say, I have been
disappointed with Jerry Jones since as I as as I
think about this the catch, But well even before that,
I've never really been enamored by Jerry Jones. I think
the the person who was responsible for the titles was

(49:48):
was Jimmy. And you know Jerry Jones, he wrote the check,
he did all that kind of stuff. But I think
it was Jimmy. And I mean, look, and by extension, right,
you have to think about about the former coach from OU, right,
who Barry Switzer, who was a part of a win
in that time. But man, they haven't done much. I

(50:08):
mean you think about I have been a Dallas Cowboys
fan since nineteen seventy five seventy six, all right, and
I loved Roger Staubach. I loved the greats who played.
I loved the manster. I loved all these people who

(50:30):
were out there. Man. Heck, I even liked I even
liked a Raphael Septn until he got into the trouble
that he got into. But when you Danny White was
a horrible era Danny White. He would line up under
center and he would look like he was mortified. He
felt he looked like he was panicky, he looked like

(50:52):
he was scared, he looked like all that kind of stuff.
And then you went through all those other quarterbacks over
that long run, right, and you went with the quarterback
with uh uh you know, you went with Gary Hogeboom
and all those guys. And heck, I would have been
happy with Dan Pastorini once upon a time, you know.
I mean, that's that's that's what I would have been

(51:13):
happy with. But you ended up with two incredible people
who came to that franchise and were game changers. And
you know, Troy Aikman, you know, uh and of course uh,
Michael Irvin and of course that running back, that phenomenal

(51:35):
running back who who came into that to that group,
and what what you saw was incredible. What you saw
was incredible. But Jerry Jones, all this guy does is
right checks, tries to be confrontational, tries to be you know,

(51:55):
in the mix, all that kind of stuff. But I
I I I don't hold out much hope for that
for that franchise. As long as he owns I don't
think he'll I don't think he'll win another title. As
long as he owns it, I think he is he's
just doing his thing to do his thing, you know,
and he wants to be that guy. And you know,

(52:15):
you look at you look at people, and you say, okay, whatever, Stan,
welcome to the program. Stan, what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (52:24):
How you doing?

Speaker 4 (52:25):
I'm doing well? Thanks?

Speaker 5 (52:26):
Yeah, you were talking about education and economics, yes, and
what I wanted to do. I want to tell you
that my personal opinion is it's not accidentalist intentional. I
was in college economics when I want to see, and
we were taking macroeconomics and the somebody asked, we've been

(52:50):
into it for about three weeks. Somebody asked the professor, Oh,
we're not ever going to talk about the debt. And
the professor said, well, but that's a good thing. And
he kept going, and I could tell the students he
could sense they weren't buying just at least that answer,
and so he paused and has them. But he said, well,
but that is a good thing, because we owe ourselves.

(53:13):
As long as you have people like these buffons teaching
our kids, kids are never going to learn true economics
and what it means to be really successful in this country.
And we've got to stop that nonsense. And that's one
reason all the experts are surprises because when they when
they look at things, they filter them through what they've
been taught in college, and it doesn't work. And now

(53:35):
they're they're baffled about what Donald Company is doing and
why it works.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Yeah, I mean, look, the people that need to teach
the economics are not the professors. It's got to be.
It's got to be the people. Like would you go
to a professor and ask them to teach you how
how to do carpentry? Like if you're you're going to
if you're gonna go to a literature person and you're

(54:01):
going to ask how you can learn with the you know,
I want to learn about building a house. I want
to learn about that sort of stuff. They're gonna have
a limited thing. The thing that has got to happen
is to recapture the culture. We have to recapture the culture.
And the way you recapture the culture and educate these
people is to get a devoted group of people who

(54:23):
want to teach people how it is. Now. I understand
the debt is a very sexy topic. Okay, the debt
is very sexy, But when you get the green eye
shade and you're sitting there and you're talking about the
debt you're going to send these kids, well away, they're
not going to be a part of that. You've got

(54:44):
to teach what money is worth and what you do
and all of those sorts of things. I'm talking about
starting this educational move from the youngest possible age, you know,
first grade. Okay, that age, and that's that's how these
people because what will happen is they're going to stumble

(55:04):
at some point and some lunatic is going to try
to warp their brain when it comes to understanding how
markets work and why they work and all of that
sort of stuff. That's the important thing. And you can't
make it into into you know, a very very complicated
thing because they're just not going to be into it.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
Well you could do something like creative word. Well, they
have we'll have an objective financially, even if it's just
how many blocks can you obtain when you're in kindergarten
and have them compete against each other.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
Well, yes, that's a that's a that's a great possibility.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
Actually shows them what it's what it's like.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Yes, yes, that's right. But but again, you know, getting
into macroeconomics, and stuff like that. I don't think that's
going to I don't think anybody's going to buy into that,
and it's they're not going to understand it.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Yeah. Well, and you know, I want to say one
thing else, and my one I reason I know that
the debt intentional is because my grand parents, both sets
of them, they own houses all the time and they
never ever, ever had a mortgage. My parents' generation, their
mortgage was ten years. Then they went to twenty, and
then they went to thirty, and now thirty is standard
and the goal is to have you in death.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
So why okay, so why do you think why do
you think those houses got that expensive?

Speaker 5 (56:19):
Well, they got that expensive because they reflect the idea
that people are now willing to pay more for it
over the course of their lives to have it now
than say for it.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
And wait, I yeah, but you're not going to get
a twenty five thousand dollars house, and you're not going
to get one hundred thousand dollars house. Those those those
are not available.

Speaker 5 (56:37):
There's not available anymore.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
But no. But the reason, the reason why the reason
why houses got expensive is it's you you know what
it is. It's it's regulation Okay, it's regulation. No, so
government is regulation and that's why stuff got expensive. And
then they decide they're going to blow out the debt.

(56:59):
They don't want people buying houses right now because Blackstone
and all of those people want to be right there
when that, when that when they go and when they
drop that rate. They want to be able to suck
up all the supply and keep and keep everybody, you know,
away from from their their their goodie.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
Pile, keep for everybody ranking.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
That's correct, of course, Yeah, great stuff, Stan, I appreciate
the news. Talk eleven, ten n nine three WVT Brett
Winterbull Show. Texas governor threatens Democrats who left the state
to prevent the congressional map. Now we find out Texas

(57:40):
Republicans push ahead with redistricting after the Democrats fleed have
fled the state. Texas House is voting to track down
and arrest Democratic lawmakers who left the state. All that
fight going on back and forth not not not surprising
by any stretch of the imagination. And guess what, guess what,

(58:00):
Billy goats gruff. That's right, Kathy Hockel is vowing, is
vowing to blow up the whole system here and and
get in there where she's going to remake the maps
to stop the Republicans from basically existing in the state
of New York. So she's she's going to go and

(58:21):
do that, and that This is going to be so
interesting because I just I have a theory about this
and have a I have a sense about this. I
think they are pushing this to try to get the
left to chase them down that hallway, to chase them
down to a place that is going to end up,

(58:45):
let's be honest, with draining many of these states. So
if you go in there and you reclaim or you
if you go into Illinois, let's say, right, which is
the most controlled uh map of anything? Like they they

(59:06):
have got They have got like very small but very
long distances where they try to get rid of every
Republican in the in the thing, and it's just all
going to be, uh, you know, Democrats new York. You
know there's not a lot of Republicans still in New York.
They've basically, you know, decided to pull some sort of

(59:27):
a weird Democrat party cleansing, you know, of of the
of any of the Republicans and the Republicans that are there.
You know, they're a couple of them that are very
very strong, but they're well out gunned. I mean, just well,
New York City controls everything in the state of New York.
I mean, it's it's it's just not by not by

(59:48):
any other standard. But you aren't going to see people
fleeing places like New York and Illinois and California. And
they're probably going to flee because they're going to feel
like they can't have a word, they can't say anything,

(01:00:09):
they can't do anything, and they can just you know,
when you get the majority, what you end up with
is you have the majorities, got the ability to just
take everything you have, taxes, not letting you live in
the house that you're in right now, My gosh, there
is a crisis and I haven't talked about this, but

(01:00:30):
there is a crisis going on in California. So Alta Dina,
which was one of those bad fire places where you
saw so much devastation, they are now dealing with the
worst of the worst of the worst. And what are
those squatters. So they're not going to be ejected from

(01:00:55):
the territory. They're not going to be ejected from a
person's property. They're just living in those homes now. And
that's what I told you guys was gonna happen. Right.
If you ever go anywhere near the state of California,
just be ready because your property is not your own.

(01:01:17):
Your property is not your own, and God forbid you
buy a house there, and God forbid you get a
squatter in your house. You can't do anything about it.
You can try to pay them off, but they have
got an epdemic of squatters now. In my opinion, if
you're gonna be caught squatting, you should just be in

(01:01:39):
the penitentiary because if the whole purpose of you squatting
is because you want three hots and a cot, we'll
just put you in prison and then you can live
in the prison and you're gonna be fine because you
just tried to steal somebody's property. That's a fundamental problem.
That is a fundamental problem. And in fact, there is

(01:02:03):
a bit of revolution that is starting to take root,
and it's not necessarily in the United States, but it's
over in Europe now. So one of the big stories
that came out overnight in Europe is how you have
people who are squatting on people's property. Okay, so what's

(01:02:25):
the big deal with that, brit Well, here's what the
big deal is. The big deal is you have people
who are over there. This is over in France. After
not receiving any help from the police, French farmers decided
to take matters into their own hands because there have

(01:02:47):
been illegal gypsy camps that have been set up on
the farmer's lands, right, just like the California thing. Okay,
so this means that it is become increasingly difficult for
people to evict trespassers in many European countries. That's the

(01:03:08):
Soros game, by the way, right, because you're not really
supposed to own property unless you're really rich. Otherwise you
have to like just do all the other sort of
stuff that needs to happen. So, after not receiving any
help from the police, French farmers decided to take matters
into their own hands to get rid of of an
illegal gypsy camp that had been set up on their land.

(01:03:33):
It became increasingly difficult for people to evict trespassers in
many European countries. So you know what they did. They
they took their tractors and they loaded they loaded them
up with the stinkiest worst possible detritus that you could

(01:03:53):
get as a by product from farming. And they went
into the territory that was being occupied, and they, for
lack of a better term, they distributed evenly among the
entire community what the cows had left fermented for a

(01:04:14):
few weeks in containers. And now these people they gotta
they got a brilli What does that smell? Let's get
out of here. I mean, this thing looks like something
they got. They got industrial sized tanks where they're just
spraying it everywhere, putting it everywhere. Just go get it.

(01:04:36):
And now they're bailing out. It's nature. It's just nature,
or it's nurture. You choose News Talk eleven to ten,

seven zero eleven ten. And you know we've got big
developments here, right. So we've got the Texas governor ordering
the arrest of absent Democrat lawmakers. These are the folks

(01:05:21):
who fled the scene because they did not want to
be a part of the redistricting moves that are that
are happening here. Now. This is creating a crescendo across
the country itself, because you've got this now being looked
at in California, You've got this being looked at in Illinois,
You've got this being looked at in New York State,

(01:05:43):
and other states are going to be looking like this
as well. This is all about the fight for the
twenty six elections, and people wanted to get an early
jump on this and see how they would be able
to pull this stuff off. And this is now what
is happening. I'm looking at a representative who is speaking
to one of the reporters on CNN, and it's Lydia Garza,

(01:06:06):
Texas governor order arrests of absent Democratic lawmakers. This is
all because they're they're well out gunned, They're in a
difficult situation, and the fact of the matter is these
folks are going to have to figure out if they're
going to come back if they don't come back. Once
they do come back, it sounds to me like they're

(01:06:28):
going to arrest them. It sounds to me like they're
going to put them in the pokey which is not
a place that you want to go. But they were
the people who decided they were going to bail out,
and you know, we have to now wait and see
how this all goes and what is going to be
happening in general. So that's the trick. That's the trick,

(01:06:50):
and that's the question. Seven oh four, five, sevenho eleven ten.
Let's jump out and talk to Jim and San Diego. Jim,
welcome to the program.

Speaker 7 (01:06:59):
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, this happened before, didn't it wasn't
it the race in Arizona where they all left.

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
Yeah. Maybe Texas has done this a number of times.
Arizona I think did it as well. So yeah, this,
this is this is a strategy that that those folks
have been trying to do.

Speaker 7 (01:07:19):
Yes, yeah, so they tried to leave and then they
lead long enough to get I think they get a
some kind of injunction. They come back to where they
can't arrest them. That's right, that's what happened. They're not
allowed to arrest them.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
Up. I think I think Texas is going to be
different though. I think that they're they're they're they're violating
the law and what what the current governor now says
is that these uh, these absent lawmakers are gonna are
gonna get charged. This is what it's looking like to me.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
Well, that would be good news, but it's all, you know, stunts.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
Again, Well that's okay, and that's exactly what this is.
This is a stunt. Okay, this is a stunt, just
like the marches that people are doing, just like the
no King's stuff, just like all that other stuff. This
is all a stunt and it's not designed to get
any kind of action. It's just a way of trying
to show that that that's what you want to do.

(01:08:23):
And so I do appreciate the call jam in that regard.
But the legislation stuff, right, you could stand there and
be in the minority and you could still try to react.
You could go on the record, you could try to
fill a buster, you could do all that sort of stuff.

(01:08:43):
But the people who have now decided they want to
just run away, well that's another whole thing entirely, and
we have to wait and see what's gonna happen next.
The governor is not does not seem to be like
a guy he wants to be playing with here. Okay,
this is a bad situation. All the way around. By

(01:09:04):
the way, We're going to see more of this. We
are absolutely going to see more of this. We're going
to see more of this in a variety of different locales.
As I said, we've already heard coming out of out
of New York, coming out of Illinois, coming out of California,
and now Texas. I mean, are those are giant states.
But I have no doubt in my mind that other

(01:09:25):
states are going to try to do this. I'm absolutely
confident about this. And what's going to be very interesting
is you've got these different races around the country that
are happening coming up in twenty twenty six, right, so
it's going to be about a little bit over a
year from right now where you're going to be in
the twenty twenty six cycle. The question becomes, how does

(01:09:49):
this impact governorships? Because what if Ohio decides they want
to try to do something. What if another large state
decides they want to try to do something like Pennsylvania.
What if somebody he wants to do something in Maryland.
What if somebody wants to do something in Colorado or
anything else. This is where the challenges arena are gonna lie.

(01:10:10):
Right This is where they're gonna lie and this is
gonna become sort of like a what's the word. I
would say, it's like an escalation. So this state's gonna go, Now,
this state's gonna go. Now, this one's gonna go, and
then that one's gonna go, and we have to sit
back and say, Okay, what is the ultimate strategy here?
You know, is it possible that you're going to see,

(01:10:34):
you know, tit for tat very It's very possible in
that regard. But there's also states who have picked up
right since since twenty twenty when they did the last ones,
they have picked up more population, and they could be
drawn in a different sort of way. You may have
industrial states that have lost populations, Northeastern states that have

(01:10:59):
lost populations, out on the West coast, places where they
have lost numbers. So what does that look like? I
don't know. I just think this is the first shot
across the bow, and the governor of the state of
Texas is in no mood to play games. In News

(01:11:30):
Talk eleven ten, nine nine to three WBT, it's the
Brettwaterbows Show. Good to be with You seven oh four
five seven zero eleven ten, Lee Zelden is somebody whose
work I think he's doing a great job at the EPA,
and he is trying to counter a whole bunch of
stuff like this. This is gonna be cut number seven.
He went on CNN this morning and he u he

(01:11:53):
gave them more than they could handle. So the setup
is going to be evident, and then you're going to
hear what he has to say for the next little bit. Letter,
do you accept.

Speaker 6 (01:12:06):
The overwhelming scientific consensus that these greenhouse gas emissions are
the biggest drivers of man made climate change? Well, it's
great to be on with you. First, it's worth pointing
out that all eight or so images that you just
posted on the screen have nothing to do with this
week's announcement. What was the two thousand nine endangerment finding

(01:12:28):
had to do with was with regards to mobile sources vehicles.
This week's proposal to rescind the two thousand and nine
endangerment finding was with regards to mobile sources vehicles. CNN's
been using a lot of photos where they show smoke
stacks of stationary sources like power plants. That's not what
we proposed. Now, going back to two thousand and nine,

(01:12:48):
the science that they were reviewing included both optimistic to
pessimistic scenarios. To reach the two thousand and nine endangerment finding,
they relied on the most pests semistic views of the science.
The great news is that a lot of the pessimistic
views of the science in two thousand and nine that
was being assumed ended up not panning out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
Hey, that's great.

Speaker 6 (01:13:11):
We can rely on twenty twenty five facts as opposed
to twenty two thousand and nine bad assumptions.

Speaker 4 (01:13:18):
The other thing, too, is.

Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
That at EPA, we don't just get to creatively make
the law whatever we want it to be. The Supreme
Court ruled in lowper Bright overturning the Chevron doctrine in
West Virginia versus EPA Michigan vers EPA that agencies like
the EPA can't just use vague language in statute and
try to make it be whatever we want it to be.

(01:13:41):
The Major Policy Doctrine also says that when you're going
to reach something like an endangerment finding and then have
trillions of dollars of regulation, that's something that should be
decided by our elected members of Congress and passing statute.

Speaker 4 (01:13:56):
Wait wait, hold on, Isaac happened in that In that clip?
Did did he say that the Congress is supposed to
make the rules? Was that towards the very very end.
I think he said that the Congress is not supposed
to be the EPA not supposed to it's the Congress.
It's oh, man, are we talking about, like actually having

(01:14:19):
say over policy. It's impossible, doesn't make any sense. And
I'm just I'm listening to this thing and it's like
he's talking, he's talking, he's talking, he's talking. And then
at the very end, like the last forty seconds, he's like,
we don't have to Yeah, we have to use policy
where the Congress has to make the rules. Oh my god,
I thought everything was just okay with an executive order?

(01:14:43):
Can I get an executive order of fries? Please? Can
I get an executive order of delicious shrimp? What was
that other stuff? I thought we were in the full game,
the total game of executive orders and narratives. Narratives are

(01:15:04):
very important, right, Narratives they change, They change the complexion
of everything. It's just incredible. I like the idea that
you have somebody who's sitting there saying, you know what,
I'm gonna I'm actually gonna give back freedom. Because he
could sit there at the EPA like, do you guys

(01:15:26):
remember what a great job that Pete boot Edge Edge
did with the East Palestine, Ohio, the wreck that happened
there and all the chemicals that went there, and he said,
I have fixed it. I have fixed it. I rode
my bike. And the problem is you have people, you

(01:15:52):
have people who just want to make stuff up. And no,
I'm not making anything up that this is all you
just heard from Lee Zelden. He's Elden's a serious dude.
He knows, he knows what's going on. He knows exactly
what's going on. And that's that's what that's why we

(01:16:13):
have this guy because he's administrating. He's not making loss. See,
an administrator is different than a lawgiver. It's not even
a term. But you know what I'm saying, and so
that's that's what this guy's doing. He's saying, listen, I'm
gonna listen to this. I'm gonna hear this out. We're
gonna see what's going on. We're gonna find out and

(01:16:34):
it's all gonna be better because we're gonna look at
this in a close way like that big time. I
don't know about you. Did you uh? Did you guys
happen to see this story. I don't know if you've
I don't know if you saw this story. Probably Isaac
probably didn't see this story. There's flesh eating bacteria on

(01:16:58):
the rise along the Gulf Coast, Isaac his water. Temperatures
along the Gulf Coast continue to warm to their seasonal highs,
and more people are trying to squeeze in one more
beach vacation before the start of the new year. Doctors

(01:17:23):
are warning cases of potentially deadly flesh eating bacteria are
above average in twenty twenty five. Climate change, it's climate change.
Have you heard of this now? This is the first
time hearing about it. The vibrio vulnificus, it's back. It's back,

(01:17:48):
the vibrio. I don't know if it's the vibrio. It
may not be. Let me try to read it the
other way. The vibrio. Excuse me, do you have my vibrio,
the vibrio vilnificus. I can't come in tomorrow there, Isaac,
because I sat down funny on my vibrio vulnificus. And

(01:18:09):
although it's rare, several Gulf coast states have seen more
cases than usual this year. I don't know if you
knew about that. Be aware that I'm not gonna go
through what ends up happening. We've tried to warn people
about what happens, about what happens out there.

Speaker 10 (01:18:29):
Don't swim in the warm water, especially with open wounds. Yeah,
it's bad stuff. But now I'm not like making a
joke about this. But how were we on this five
days ago? Five days ago? This is the weather channel. Okay,

(01:18:52):
we're ahead of the weather channel with the Vibrio ville fanucas.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Il fanegas vill fanucas. They they interviewed a guy. They said, look,
the bacteria normally exists in warm water, warm salty water.

Speaker 5 (01:19:14):
M M.

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
Salty water that's warm. Sometimes, Isaac, it's brackish water. I
don't want to be in brackish water, especially during summer months.
So we know that the Vibrio venuficus is doing that
during the summer months. So they went and they asked

(01:19:37):
a guy who knows how to handle this. So it's
doctor a Locke Patel, it is it's doctor a Locke Patel,
a pediatrician at Stanford's Stansford Children's Health talking to ABC News.
Best thing you can do. You can do, Isaac. You

(01:19:59):
don't you don't want to contract that Bacteria's stay out
of the water deal. Now. I don't know if you've
got any fresh wounds or cuts. That's how the Vibrio
vnificus enters your body. It's a very sneaky entry. Sneaks

(01:20:20):
up on you where all your where, all your bits
and pieces are. That's what it says, bits and pieces.

(01:20:47):
All right. Now, many of you guys know, I'm not
a big guy in terms of going out and outer space.
But this is a pretty cool story. Now, this is
a cool story. This is a cool This is a
good story. I don't want to have anything to do
with it, but it's a good story. NASA's new radar

(01:21:09):
just pulled off something impossible on Earth. Ready for this, Okay,
here's here's how it goes. During a close Mars flyby,
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft tested its radar system, which is
called Reason for the very first time in space. The

(01:21:30):
radar's flawless performance thrilled the scientists as it successfully bounced
signals off of the Martian surface, proving it's ready to
scan Europa's ice shell for signs of a hidden ocean.

(01:21:54):
The sixty gigabytes of data gathered not only confirmed the
hardware reliability, but also gave researchers and early opportunity to
fine tune their analytical tools before the clipper or clipper

(01:22:15):
reaches Jupiter's icy moon in twenty thirty. That's pretty cool. Like,
that's a pretty cool thing. Everybody's going to be old
by then, but this is going to be a really
cool thing. So twenty thirty, Hey, how come nobody's talking

(01:22:36):
about that thing that was coming last week? Remember I
was telling you about that last week. Is this a
way of like getting us to not pay attention. There's
one hundred and fifty five million miles away, it's coming
right at us. Nobody wants to talk about it. Is
this the thing that nobody wants us to talk about?
Could be? Mars fly by radar was a test success,

(01:22:58):
So that's that's a good thing for you. Spaces I'm
not I'm not I'm not that guy. I'm not I'm
not spacists, But these are spaces. These spacey people like that.
You like that, say you like say you like it.
I'm saying I like it. It's like the first time
I've ever said that I liked it in space. He's

(01:23:20):
a big space guy, not a big space guy. Just
think it's good that somebody else is doing it, not me. Okay,
this is this is a story that's incredible. It's it's
incredible when when you hear both the complexity and the
sincerity of this story. Humans may have a gene needed

(01:23:45):
to hibernate. Now hold on, before you get all agitated.
You're driving around, you could text me at the WBT
text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. Humans may have
a gene needed to hibernate, offering potential cure for obesity

(01:24:13):
and diabetes. They just go sleep it off. That is
such a crass way to put this. I'm sorry, my word,
young man. Listen, you guys and you folks out there.
Clusters of genes found in humans match most of those

(01:24:37):
that hibernating animals like mice use to power down during
lean times, according to a new study that has been
found because those genes are correlated with the parts of
the genome that controls your metabolism. I had a a

(01:25:01):
pe teacher who did not know how to say metabolism.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Do you know what?

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
He used to say, what do you say? I can't
do it because it's it's it's got a word that's
gonna sound really bad. Okay, he would say, you need
to get control of your metabolism. I know I didn't
understand it, the metabolism, and I was like, what is that?

(01:25:31):
You know the way your pots are are? You know,
are are powered? He said his part power. We're a
very weird guy, because those genes are correlated with the
genome of controlling metabolism. Metabolism five what researchers call the

(01:25:54):
fat and obesity locusts. Not locusts like a locus. The locusts.
Listen to me, you have to understand the obesity locus.
The discovery may open the door to new treatments for

(01:26:15):
obesity and diabetes. Okay, this would be pretty cool, and
I'll tell you exactly how this would work. Awesomely.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Here it is.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Thanksgiving, right, everybody's off Thursday. Most people take Wednesday off,
maybe a half a day or whatever. Okay, so you're
gonna go home and you gonna you're gonna just eat
a bunch of stuff Wednesday night. Thursday, you're up and

(01:26:46):
at them. And then now you're in lockdown mode because
you're eating all that food. Now it's like here we go,
go get that metabolism all lowered and all that kind
of and then just just sit there and sleep. And
then what will happen is you will wake up Christmas Eve.

Speaker 8 (01:27:05):
What what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
That's that's obviously what they're gonna try to do. They're
gonna be like, okay, let's slow them down, slow them
way down. That's what we call the idis, that's the itis.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
So we go.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
I mean, raise your hand if you're driving, don't raise
your hand, but mentally raise your hand. Who wouldn't love
the ability to go day before Thanksgiving? And then you're
you wake up Christmas Eve morning and you're you're just
like chilling. You're just like whoop, that would be pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
I do it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
Problem the men, especially the men. The men are gonna
have to plan way ahead for Christmas gifts for the
loved ones, including the wives. Okay, you're going to have
to be like, listen, it's may, I gotta go shopping.

(01:28:07):
Don't look in the cabinet.

Speaker 7 (01:28:08):
I understand women who have power.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
In money, because you can't just go for a month, like,
where are you going to go for a month, and
then suddenly be like, hey, okay, this is going to
be great. I don't understand. It's tricky, way tricky. Hibernating
animals can do many things that human can't reverse nerve
damage or muscle atrophy after periods of inaction or low nutrition,

(01:28:36):
rapidly gain or lose weight without hurting their health, and
live longer and better than similar non hibernating animals. So
you're telling me it's better to be a rodent than
a human. No, thank you, No thank you. We've got

(01:29:05):
thoughts on these sort of things. The idea of going
away in hibernating. Wow, we got a lot of reaction
on hibernation. If you'd like to hibernate between Thanksgiving and
uh to Christmas Eve, that's pretty cool. A lot of
good stuff there.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:29:24):
This one is very thoughtful. This is a this is
a tremendous thought. The folks who are who are worried
about the thing that's coming our way, And I got
to tell you something. This is this is a very
interesting thing regarding the mysterious possibly hostile space thing coming

(01:29:44):
at us. Could we defensively send up a probe to
meet it filled with vibrio villainikus. It might make them
have to go find a rest stop instead of coming
year to Earth. I don't know, that's a that's a
that's a very possible reality. I mean no doubt about
at Ray. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Hello, Brad, how are you today?

Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
I'm well, thanks for calling it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
I just had a comical little comment sure that you
were talking about your teacher and kind of picking on
him a little bit. Yes, I had a teacher when
I was in the fifth grade in Virginia, and I
think he was a math teacher. But when we go
in and found out that if you got him started

(01:30:28):
talking about a baseball game, he had just forget about
the math and no homework and all that kind of things.
And another thing, he had another friend of his, and
I think this teacher and his buddy were I think
they both taught math and they were pe teachers as well.

Speaker 4 (01:30:47):
Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
But at that time, I was around nineteen sixty three,
they had a purpose of something that came through every year,
and they had a cage there and they had they
often fifty dollars for two men that could get in
that cage with an orangutang and pining wrestling, and they

(01:31:11):
did that every year. They got him there with him
and tried in him. They said they never they never
got him penned.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
Wow. Was that so?

Speaker 10 (01:31:19):
Was that?

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Like you thought that'd be kind of funny to let
everybody know that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
That's hilarious. That's hilarious. Oh my gosh. Was it by
any chance? Was the orangutank? Was it, by any chance
the one that clint EA's Wood had around him back
in the seventies, you know, in every which way but loose?
I wonder if that was don't I.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Don't know, I imagine I don't know. But they told
me they got him there every year and they never
won that fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
That's great, man, that's awesome, great stuff. Ray, I appreciate
you called. Oh my pleasure, that was awesome. I don't
I don't think. I don't think I could have. I
could wrestle a rangutang or is it a rangutan? I
always forget how. I don't know how they say it
orangutang rangutan? Either way, not rest. They've got super strength.

(01:32:10):
I mean, they'll get you swinging around on trees. You
think you're gonna pin that thing. I don't think so well.
I mean, two on one, you might might be able
to high low them, you know, I mean that's that's
that that could happen. I imagine there's I've never I've
never been inclined to to wrestle or wrestle animals. I

(01:32:34):
do think it would be cool. Like my favorite, my
favorite animal in the animal kingdom, like I have, I
have other than domesticated pets, right like birds and cats
and dogs and stuff like. I love that, right, That's
my favorite animal in the entire animal kingdom is the buffalo.

(01:32:56):
Buffaloes are amazing. I know they kind of they got
that that that litter trap kind of thing that's hanging
off of them. You know, it's like it's like, what.

Speaker 7 (01:33:07):
Are you doing?

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
But buffalo? I think I love the bald eagle for
the American imagery. I think that. I think right there
next to him is a buffalo. I think you got
a buffalo and and that and that bird who buffalo?
Because they're only here like that, you only find them

(01:33:30):
here in their form, And you think about all that
stuff that we mass I just they used to just
massacre them. And when you see those things up up close,
it's it's majestic. I would but for the fact that
I have zoning laws and I don't have enough money

(01:33:51):
or room. I would have a buffalo on my property
and I would stay away from them. I get I
get too, because they should. They should be friends. You know,
have have have a time breaking. Bret Jensen is coming
by next He'll not talk about any of that, but
he will talk about other things. And then TJ. Ritchie

(01:34:12):
gonna take you all the way into the night news
Talk eleven ten not a nine three do
