Faith, Safety, Accountability And More On The Brett Winterble Show

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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the devastating terrorist attack at a Catholic school and church in Minnesota, where two children were killed, 14 others wounded, and several adults injured. As a Catholic himself, he reflects on the sanctity of Mass as a place of peace and worship, now shattered by violence. Shifting from the tragedy, Brett delivers a passionate message about culture’s corrosive impact on children and families, warning that society’s erosion of values has created fertile ground for chaos and despair. He urges parents and communities to stand firm as shields for their children, instilling faith, charity, and godly values as a foundation for life. Brett stresses that the future depends on raising children with courage, grace, and conviction, declaring that surrender is not an option. His message is both a lament over tragedy and a call to rise as guardians of light in a darkening world.

Later Brett turns his focus to the law enforcement briefing in Minneapolis following the tragic attack on a Catholic school and church. Officials detailed the heavy toll on victims, families, and first responders, many of whom are deeply shaken by what they witnessed. Brett highlights the gravity of the situation, noting that Minneapolis has also faced other violent incidents in recent days, compounding the sense of crisis. He raises concerns about how city and state leaders are handling public safety, questioning whether current policies are adequately addressing the growing threat of violent crime. Brett stresses that beyond the immediate tragedy, the broader issue is how to protect communities from further violence and prevent such acts from recurring. He calls for accountability, stronger enforcement, and a renewed focus on protecting innocent lives.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT. It's
the Brett Witterbule Show. Seven oh four five seven zero
eleven ten, seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten.
And obviously, unless you have not yet heard, we saw
a We saw a terrorist attack that took place on
a Catholic school and a Catholic church in Minnesota earlier today,

(00:44):
and we know two children are dead, fourteen children are wounded,
three adults are injured during a mass in the United
States of America. Now there's no secret. I'm Catholic, and
you know, I go to Mass, and my family's Catholic,

(01:05):
and we go to Mass, and Mass is a place
where you're supposed to be able to go and worship.
You know, I had a couple of back and forths
in the last like two weeks. Every once in a while,
people kind of come at you and they'll say things
about your faith or whatever it is. And you know,
I never get mad about it. People can have their opinions,

(01:27):
people can say what they want to say. They believe
that they know their way and we know our way.
But I think there's something important that has to happen here.
I'm not going to name this demon, I never do.
I am not going to acknowledge what this SOB did,

(01:50):
but I want to harken back to a conversation that
I sort of overheard a number of months ago, and
it's very interesting to me. So I heard this man
talking to another man. I just I happened to just
be an earshot, and he said, he said he did

(02:16):
not understand how his kid had changed so much. His son,
once joyful, curious, full of light, had grown angry, withdrawn, unreachable.
The father looked at the other guy, and he actually

(02:37):
had tears in his eyes, and he asked, where did
I lose him? Well, the fact of the matter is
he didn't lose his son. The culture took his son.
The culture took his son. This culture, this loud, this seductive,

(02:59):
this corrosive force has declared war on innocence. And it's
been that way for a very long time. It doesn't
just entertain, It indoctrinates, It doesn't just distract. It devours.
And if we let it raise our children, we will

(03:21):
not simply lose them. We will lose the future. We
see the symptoms everywhere. Children who mock faith before they
understand it, deens who chase pleasure before they know the purpose.
Young adults who reject discipline before they've built anything worth protecting.

(03:51):
It's not evolution, it's erosion. And I say to you,
and I hope everybody else says this, not on my watch,
Not on my watch. We must build our kids. We
must build our children not on the shifting sands of

(04:11):
popular opinion, but on the eternal foundation of faith and
charity and godly values, period full stop. We have tried
it with the public schools. We have tried it with
all the new fads. Faith teaches them who they are,
Charity teaches them how to love, Godly values, teach them

(04:36):
how to live. These are not relics of the past.
They're actually the antidote to chaos. Have you had enough
chaos in your life? Have you had enough chaos in
the country. We the living, still have the power to
affect change. We're not helpless, we're not outnumbered. We are

(05:00):
are simply called to rise. To rise. You can be
the shield between your child and the abyss. You can
be the shield between your child and the abyss. If
you saw your child drowning out in a pool or

(05:21):
in the ocean, you would do everything you could to
save them, to pull them back. You can be the
voice that actually drowns out the noise. You can be
the reason your family stands firm when the world is shaking. Yes,

(05:44):
we see fallen people at every turn. Yes, we are
surrounded by demons of despair, division, and moral decay. Boy,
do we have a bumper crop of more decay. Just
go through the channels. But we must never give in,

(06:06):
because the moment we surrender is the moment we lose
the future. So let me make it clear. No civilization
has ever survived the erosion of its values. If we
want a future worth living in, we must raise children

(06:27):
who know what truth is and why it matters. So
I ask you, are you going to be a guardian
of that light? Are you going to be a builder
of their souls? Will you be the voice that says,
not my child, not on my watch, not on your child,
not on your watch. The culture has to be loud,

(06:51):
but our conviction must be louder. Let us raise children
who want to walk with courage, speak with grace, and
live with conviction. What happened today cannot be undone. But
we know those who are hurting now are being comforted

(07:13):
by God, this demon that tried to steal the joy sadly, horrifically,
horribly has chosen his own destination and we will never
see him again. We will never see him again. Let

(07:41):
us raise warriors of light in a world that's grown dark.
Let us be the generation that stood firm, not the
one that looked away. Because if we do, then the
demons don't win. And we know the demons don't win.
We've already won. The monsters will not multiply, and the

(08:03):
future will not be lost, because that is all we
can do. You have to work to do this every day,
in every way so that the future will not be lost.

(08:25):
News Talk eleven ten, nine to three, WBT Brett Winterbow Show,
Good to be with You Telephone number seven oh four
five seven eleven ten for the text line as well.
WBT text Line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. Let's grab
a call real quick, Mac. Welcome to the program. What's
on your mind?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I agree?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Before I say anything, I just wanted to know I'm
a filthy rag as far as you know, being a
human being. But you know, if we look at our
society right now, for you know, thousands of years now,
what blueprint as far as you know, you know, we've
always lived by God's laws. So if we throw God's

(09:08):
laws out, whose laws.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Do we live? That's right? No, it's exactly right. I
mean that that that's exactly what it is. And unfortunately, uh,
you know, in this era of increasing isolation, because people
can stay in their houses and they can they can
do all sorts of things, right, you can, you can
invent stuff, you can sell stuff, you can you can
have people deliver things to your house. You can do

(09:31):
all that sort of stuff. It's there's there's a there's
a chronic issue with people not seeing each other as
human beings but instead just being targets in a video
game or or or anything like that. There's a terrible
story that was out there and it was it was
really shocking earlier today to see this, and it was

(09:52):
like the biggest shocker that I had thought about over
the course of the of the day, which started very early,
and then this this terrible attack, targeted attack in Minneapolis,
you know, came came to the forefront. But there was
this guy who was working and he was on his
own and he was feeling depressed and he turned to

(10:17):
chat GPT and chat GPT, and he began hard to
explain this, hard to explain this. They began a relationship
and this guy continued going back and forth with chat GPT,

(10:40):
and the guy got chat Gpt to give him the
information he needed to take his own life, and he did.
And in fact, if you look at the long ride
up of this, of this particular case, this this only

(11:03):
came to light in the last day and a half.
His parents are absolutely heartbroken because apparently they did not
know that he was as depressed as he was. And
at one point in the back and forth between him
and chat gptuh, chat GPT directed, I'm going to be

(11:27):
judicious in saying what I'm going to say because I
don't want the youngsters to understand what I'm saying, but
I want the parents to know the chat GPT taught
the guy to use a particular method to take his life.

(11:49):
That is a very ancient approach involving a not That's
that's what I would say. And chat GPT to described
to him how to do it, and he did it. Now,
that is horrible, that is terrible, But we have separated

(12:14):
ourselves from each other, and that's a problem. That's a problem.
That's a problem. I don't want to go in your house.
I don't want you coming in my house. I don't
want you to ring in my doorbell. I don't want
to go Look look at the slow decline of Halloween.
And I know you're gonna say to yourself, Brett, what
are you talking about. When we were kids, we had
to actually knock on the door, ring the bell, say

(12:36):
trick or treat and then get candy. Now what do
people do. They just take big bowls and sit them
in front of their house and they just let the
kids come by and just grab as much as they
want and they don't want to have to any have
any kind of problem or anything like that. Now that's
a very small and maybe petty kind of a critique,
but the fact of the matter is you want to

(12:57):
be part of Halloween, but you don't really want to
be part of Halloween. And so what happens you're basically
teaching kids to just go and grab what they want,
especially from a young age. Oh you know what, I
just grabbed an Uh, I just grabbed an iPhone from
the store. I took it out of some lady's bag.
I did this. This is the problem the standards are

(13:21):
not working because the standards aren't based on anything. The
standards are not based on anything. Look, I'm a curmudgeon
as it comes, okay, but I like it when the
kids come and they ring the doorbell and I go, hey,
that's a really cool Tron outfit. Hey that's a really

(13:42):
neat Fonsie outfit. Hey that's really I know I'm dating myself,
but the fact of the matter is, I'm like, oh,
that's really cool. It's Oh, yeah, you're a pirate. Oh
you're a so you're you're a flaming sword, You're whoever?
Oh look at you, you're so cute. Uh yeah, that's great. Congratulations.
I know you're gonna get married. Taylor Swift and Kelsey,
Oh here's me. Such a lovely couple. You had never

(14:03):
thought they would come to my door. But the fact
of the matter is we're all trying to separate ourselves,
and if we all separate ourselves, you know what ends
up happening if we separate ourselves from any interaction with
any person. And trust me, I do not like interacting
with people, except for you people on this station. I'm kidding.
If you just do that and everybody does that, then

(14:26):
everybody feels like they can just do whatever the heck
they want. There's no fabric for the society to be
knitted by. This is terrible. It's terrible, and the fact
of the matter is, it's not that we're responsible for it.

(14:47):
And I'm sorry to have to say. One of the
worst things that ever happened in our lifetime in our lifetime,
so you can kind of figure out where the lifetime
runs here. The worst thing that happened in our lifetime
was the death of shame. Shame was always the guardrail.

(15:13):
I mean, you have people please come to the house
three four times a week, or two three times a week,
or two three times a month, and all that kind
of stuff. If the cops come to my house, I
am genuinely like, what happened. I'm not a cops to
my house person. And I'm not judging you if you're

(15:34):
a cops to your house person. But if you're a
cops to your house person on a regular basis, to
the point of which they come up the walk and
they know you by your name without even trying to identify,
the shame factor is not working. I'm not going to
mention the name of this person. I'm not going to

(15:56):
talk about this proclivity that has become there are too
common in our society, ladies and gentlemen. But had there
not been the dearth of standards and the dearth of shame,

(16:18):
maybe this person wouldn't have done the thing that they did.
That's a problem. Standards are important. The News Talk eleven

(16:43):
ten out of nine. Three WBT, it's the brett Water
Bowl Show. Let's jump out and talk to Chris next. Chris,
welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Hey, welcome back, my brother.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Hey, I just want to just as you said, the
way you articulated that, it was like you know about Halloween,
nobody more stoke in the door anymore. Just put you know,
just put it out.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Everybody grabs it, right, and they grab that's right, and
they steal it, take it all right?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, like yeah, yeah, like little kids will grab like
one or two. Then you just have people just stealing, stealing, stealing.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yes, yes, nobody nobody throws eggs anymore. Okay, I'm happy
about that, right. I Mean, I don't want to get
my house egged, but you know, it's it's it's just
one of those things when you when you sit there, Chris,
and you look at it and you say to yourself,
hold on a minute. I were teaching people to loot.
Just run over there, grab everything out, dump it in
the in the in the whatever it is, or just

(17:36):
sometimes they'll just take the whole pumpkin filled with the
candy and take it all. I mean, that's that's what
it is, and that's we need standards. I'm sorry, You're fine.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Man, You're fine. You're you're kicking it off cylinders. All
I'm saying is I think within the past thirty years,
this country has lost its way. Man.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
And what what do you think was the first.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Tartar of the country part of the country.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Of course, of course, what was the first what was
the first big thing that you think about? You go,
oh wow, that that certainly changed things in a big way.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
My personal opinion is when I mean, I'm not get political,
I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
That political show.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yes, well, well when.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Uh, Bill Clinton, you're a genius.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
Remember the Monday.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Night football I mean our basketball games, right, yes, yes,
it was to get the kids off the street. Yes,
and then it became you know, I remember watching his
State of the Speed steve ying speech and said you know,
it's the end of welfare or you know whatever as
we know it.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Then I think really between you and you know, between
you and me and the audience everything since not eleven,
it's called a rye. And it's to the point. Now,
look at this young lady. Is she Ukrainian lady? It's
writing is a street car or trained in Charlotte?

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yes, And she gets murdered absolutely, and and and you
have to go back. Let's look at what Charlotte's controlled by.
Is controlled by democrats. All these things happen in democrats cities.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Okay, So one of the things, one of the things
that's the problem, okay, when you let's when we talk
about this beautiful young woman who was just riding on
a on a you know, on a on a rail,
ten o'clock at night, right on a weekend, and there's
people coming and going and all that sort of stuff, right,
and and what is the first thing that people always

(19:39):
say when something like that happens, And it's a it's
a generic phrase. It's it's this, it's it's wow, that
happened there. That's a nice part of town, that's what
people say. Now, nice part of town, bad part of town,
whatever it is, however people want to talk about it.
Somebody lost their life and and you know it could

(20:00):
happen in the nicest part of town of all. You know,
it could be it could be any place at all.
But the problem now is how do we go about
fixing it? And you're gonna get this this corner of
people who are gonna say she shouldn't have been riding
by herself that late at night. You know what, Now,
I should be allowed to ride twenty four hours a
day and not get murdered like that should be like

(20:22):
a basic standard.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
It's public transportation. Then we're paying for it.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's exactly paying for this.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
So what paying for it?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Right?

Speaker 4 (20:31):
And this city is begging for more money to expand it. Yes,
And as your previous show host, which.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I love him as well, of course, thank you.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
As he was saying, is hey, look they're asking for
more money, but these people are going through turn turnstiles
not even paying.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, fair jumping if you if you're man, thank you man.
I appreciate you very much. There, Chris, It's always going
to talk to you, all right, your best. Yeah, fair
beating is like not a joke. Fair beating if you
go if you go into like I used to ride
every single day. I used to ride the New York

(21:08):
City subway for about six years. Then I got really
adventurous and I moved to Los Angeles and that was
a whole other experience entirely. But if they caught you
fair beating, meaning you're gonna jump the turnstile, you would
get arrested. They would put you in the bracelets. This
was back in the Giuliani days when Guliani was like Giuliani. Okay,

(21:31):
he wasn't he didn't have orange hair dye coming off
his head. But the fact of the matter is if
they caught you, they were they put you in jail.
You know why because Number one, other people see you're
getting arrested and you're getting put in a in a
cop car. People go, oh, I better not fair beat
number one. Number two. You know why else they would

(21:55):
they would do it because they would run you for
priors and see if you had an outstanding warrant, if
maybe you were wanted for murder or rape or robbery
or any of that stuff. It's like a two ways.
It's like a double wind for the system itself because
they go Hey, if you're fair beating, I'll bet you're
doing other stuff. I bet you're pickpocketing. I bet you're

(22:16):
selling drugs. I bet you're doing all this kind of stuff.
So if we can sweep this idiot up because he
decided to jump the turnstile, then guess that. Guess what now.
Once upon a time, the turnstyles were just like the
regular turnstiles, like when you go into a park or
something like that, it goes like chichijie, right and it
just twists right. You had people who said, you know what,

(22:38):
those are not going to work anymore. So that's when
they started to use the interlacing, where like, if you
try to get in, not only are you not going
to get in unless you paid the fare, but number two,
if you pushed it too far, you got trapped. You
got trapped. And I got off subways many times seeing

(22:59):
some scoundrel who had gotten trapped yelling let me out,
and I'm like, dude, no way, and I would just
keep walking because he it's like a lobster. It's like
getting It's like a lobster in a in a box
and you go, you know what, dude, your dinner tonight.
Sorry about that, I'm not gonna let you go. It's
not my problem. Next time, don't fare beat and then

(23:21):
don't push through to try to get in. And now
suddenly you got a problem. We tolerate too much of it.
This is going to be what we're gonna talk about
in a couple of minutes. We tolerate too much of it.
And I want you to tell me what the it
is because you have tolerated a specific thing, whatever it is,

(23:46):
in your mind for far too long. What is it?
What is it? News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to three,

that's what you got to do that You've got to
do it. That's what they say. Seven oh four five
seven eleven ten, seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten.
So I went to Spain. And this is not like
a humble brag or anything like that, but I went
to Spain a couple months ago, and you know what,

(25:42):
I was so happy about going to Spain. I was
not there at the time when the people throw the
tomatoes at everybody where they have the La Tomtina festival.
I just looked at something. This picture is so disturbing.
This is the most disturbing picture I've seen in a
very long time. You see that picture, Lana, You see
that picture. It's it's two people laying in a slop

(26:06):
of tomatoes that have just like been purade or something.
They've thrown them at each other. And here's the problem.
I multitask when I'm doing the show. So I'm sitting
here and I'm looking at the news and the headlines
and all the stuff that's up here on the line,
and all of a sudden, I look and I see
this and I go, Honestly, I'm not making this up.

(26:29):
I went, I went.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Did.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I was like, did did putin bomb somebody? Because it
looks like these are victims of I mean, it looks
like it's all blood. These people are laying on it.
And I'm like, who would put that on the website?
But it's not. It's the Tomatina thing, the Tomatina thing.
So that's people like that. They like tomatoes. I like tomatoes.
I I go for a V eight. Sometimes I like

(26:55):
it spicy, sometimes I add a little something else. Don't
think I'm drinking out and I don't drink alcohol. I'm
only using UH. I use Leon Perrin's UH Worcestershire sauce.
You know, That's that's what I do. Dozens have been
wounded as Israeli raids rocked the West Bank city where
the Palestinian Authority is headquartered. This is something that I

(27:18):
think the Israelis are doing in a strategic way. And
what I mean by that is, you see how Putin
is not playing ball with the with the idea of
of what it is that's happening out there with the UH,
with the war between the Ukraine and and and and Russia. Right,
I think that bib Netna who has decided, Okay, with

(27:40):
all the chaos in the world and all the chaos
that is going on, We're going to use this as
an excuse to to try to clean up some of
the Hamas stuff that is going on. And it sounds crass,
it sounds terrible, it sounds awful, But the fact of
the matter is bib Netna who and Zolensky are sort

(28:02):
of two sides of the same coin. And what I
mean by that is they both want to get these
wars over with. Zelensky wants the war over with. Putin
does not want the war over with bb Net and
Yahoo wants the war over with in Gaza. But the
fact of the matter is Hamas and everybody else who's
supporting them, they don't want the war over. They want

(28:25):
the killing to continue because they know what is coming next.
And what is coming next is this will never happen again. Okay,
this will never ever happen again, period, full stop. Because

(28:46):
of the dangers that are out there. People got very
comfortable over the period of time when it was nine
to eleven and then we were going out and we
were hammering countries, right, we were hammering Afghanistan, then we
were hammering the people in Iraq, and then we were

(29:09):
going around and doing different sorts of things. What we
were were on the offensive, right, we were on the offensive.
And that was the mission that was being done. It
was to wrap up all these terrorist nests and things
like that. That's why you go out there and you
do it, and what happens. You feel confident as long
as you've got people in the field who were willing

(29:31):
to fight for the United States, who were willing to
do the things that need to get done. But the
minute you get an attack on American soil like Fort Hood, right,
remember fort Hood. Fort Hood was an absolute disgrace happening
in Fort Hood in Central Texas. And what was the
disgrace about it, the specific disgrace about it was Barack

(29:54):
Hussein Obama Joe Hussein Biden. Okay, they both stood there
and said, this is not a terrorist attack that was
executed by a jihadist. It was, by the way, and
it was executed by a jihadist way back when he

(30:15):
was getting radicalized by anwar Alawaukee out of Yemen. And
when push came to shove, Barack Hussein Obama and Joe
Hussein Biden sat there and said, no, no, no, this
is not a terrorist attack on American soil. This is
Do you remember what they called it? Do you remember

(30:35):
what they called it? Do you remember what he wouldn't know?
They called it? Workplace violence. It's not it's not a
terrorist attack. It's just workplace violence. He just came in
with a gun and shot a whole bunch of soldiers
and that's but it was workplace violence. It was like
as if he could have gone into a store and
done the same thing. No, he did it on the
base and he was a major in the army. And

(31:00):
you want to know the craziest thing about the guy,
I mean, the craziest of the crazy. He was a
psychiatrist when he did it. And he pretended that like
he was just going along and getting along and doing
the stuff that he had to do and all this
kind of stuff. And then he came in and shot

(31:21):
and killed innocent people. And the Obama administration said it
was workplace violence. If you did that, If you did that,
you should be drummed out of any responsibility of important

(31:43):
matters because that is not right. Coming up even more,
it's got to stop New talk eleven ten that nine

(32:07):
three WBT, we're getting a briefing coming out of Minneapolis.
Law enforcement is talking from the podium. Let's get there
and see what's going on.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
Into the church and we're seated. Others were coming in.

Speaker 9 (32:22):
I've heard estimates, but we will we will release a
more definitive number.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
Many of the police officers that have coup.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 9 (32:37):
The resourcing going for you.

Speaker 7 (32:41):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
Uh Suit's question was resources for Minneapolis Police due to
the other challenges we've had the last twenty four hours. Obviously,
this has been the most difficult. The dozens of officers
that responded to this scene, many of them are deeply
traumatized by what they saw, as are obviously all of

(33:04):
the children, all of the staff members, father Dennis, everyone
who is at mass this morning.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
So obviously that has been.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
Our number one priority is to care for the health
and wellness of the officers that responded here. Additionally, obviously
we have responded to other challenging situations and other acts
of violence. I can say in regard to the shooting
that happened outside of the high school yesterday, we have
arrested two people for assisting in that shooting. We have

(33:37):
not gotten the shooter yet, but we believe we have
two people under arrest that were present with the shooter
when that happened, and we're making significant progress. There was
an additional arrest at a homicide last night that happened
on the twenty seven hundred.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
Block of Third Avenue South.

Speaker 9 (33:55):
That person has not been booked specifically for being responsible
for the murder, but we believe, we believe that is.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
The person who closed that so no, no, unfortunately not.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yep, politicians here, principal and others.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
So that we can never happen again.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm just wondering if you would have a suggestion from
where we start to make sure it does it ever
happen again?

Speaker 9 (34:25):
Yeah, So the question was where do we start uh
to make sure this doesn't happen again?

Speaker 7 (34:31):
I don't have an answer for that at this time.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
So we're we're we're in the UH in the back
end of this press conference, obviously, because you've got these
reporters asking impossible questions like how do we stop this
from ever happening again? That's a reporter that that needs
to just go sit in their car and listen to
what these people are talking about, because that's a snarky comment,

(34:57):
and that's the thing we don't need. We don't eat
a snarky comment about. Well, oh, then where do we
start to get this? I'll be well, why don't we
start locking up wackos? Why don't we start locking up criminals?
Why don't we start locking up people that threaten people?
I guarantee you probably within just a couple of miles
of where these folks are standing, there are criminals. Go

(35:19):
lock them up. How about we start with no more
free bail. You don't have to post bail. Don't worry
about it. It's just a sweet promise. You just come
back when it's time to go. Did you hear what
he just said about the fact that there was another
shooting last night in Minneapolis? And look at that right there,
the doughboy himself standing behind the cop. You see him.

(35:42):
That's your governor in Minnesota. And this clown is right
up there with the worst of the worst in walls.
Walls is a terrible human being, and he likes to
throw around tough guy analogies and things like that. He
does and even practice safe gun handling because he couldn't

(36:05):
even fight. He didn't not to even fire his own gun.
I mean, this guy is a clown. And what they're
gonna try to do is they're gonna try to grab
onto this. They don't want to actually go after real
criminals that are out there. They want to go after
the issue of firearms. That's what they want to do
in Minnesota. I do not recommend that you guys go
down that road. You need to go get the freaks.

(36:26):
You need to go get the people that are trying
to murder innocent people, and hearing that from this, from
this particular law enforcement officer, that we think we know
who's doing it, and we think we know how this
happened from yesterday's attack. Come on, come on, this is
as bad as bad is. I used to think that

(36:48):
like Minnesota was a serious state. It's like a big state.
It's got big schools, it's got big you know, sports teams.
It's a well known place. But these people are not
ready for prime time. And they do not do not
for not even for a minute. Do not think that

(37:10):
Donald Trump is not thinking in the Oval office, We're
gonna surge Minneapolis because Minneapolis has a particularly difficult problem.
You know, Minneapolis has a particularly difficult problem. Do you
guys know what it is? They have a I'm gonna

(37:40):
just say this in the most diplomatic way. People who
will understand it will understand it, and people who don't
understand it will not understand it. There's a fifth column
in Minneapolis. There's a fifth column in Minneapolis. And you're
gonna see Jacob Fry, the guy who's the right now,

(38:01):
who's getting dethroned by somebody else, who is a particularly
caustic person. He's a person that is is looking to
fight inside Minneapolis. This is gonna be a problem. This
is going to be a problem, and the problem is

(38:23):
really difficult to handle because you have child brides, you
have certain things that are going on, and the fact
of the matter is, you know, we don't know how
this is gonna happen. We do not know how how
any of this stuff, uh is is going to happen. Yeah,
I mean, I've got people tick I've got people ticking

(38:44):
off to me here, I got six one two's, I
got six one two's talking to me. Do you know
where six one two is? Six one two is Minneapolis?
So we got people in Minneapolis listening to our show
and they're and they're they're sending us notes. But this
is going to be a difficult situation. And I got
to tell you something. I gotta tell you something. The shoe,
the next shoe is gonna drop. And I'm telling you

(39:05):
right now, seeing how mad Donald Trump is about being
told that he can't go into Baltimore, being told he
can't go to Shytown, because he can't go to California,
any of that sort of stuff, He's gonna go where
it's gonna be available. And I'll bet you tomorrow in
the overnight, I'll bet you a dollar to a donut

(39:27):
that in the overnight you're gonna see You're gonna see
Feds rolland strong into Minneapolis in the next forty eight hours.
That's my prediction. That's my prediction. Or you could just
call Curtis Sleewer, because he's not gonna become the mayor
of New York City, but he could show up with
that raspberry beret, the kind you'd find in a second

(39:50):
hand store. There's talk eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT.
So I'm gonna throw this out to you, and I
think it's an important thing that we have this conversation
about from what you know and to the extent that

(40:13):
you know what has happened here in Minnesota, in obviously
at the school, how do you fix this? How do
you stop these people from coming in and trying to
murder your children? I mean, it doesn't have to be
you don't have to do it for Minnesota. But Minnesota

(40:34):
is the most recent incident in which two people, two
children were killed, and eight and a ten year old
and seventeen seventeen adults and children were wounded very seriously. Now,
this is what is despicable. Police motives still unknown in
Minnesota shooting. I had somebody send me the horrific tour

(41:04):
of what this guy had set last night. Somebody sent
it to me on a on a chat line. Somebody
who is a reporter sent it to me, and I
sat and watched it for ten all ten minutes, and
it is one of the absolute most offensive, horrible things

(41:26):
I've ever seen. And not a shot was fired in
the in the video. But this this subhuman. It's actually
it's an insult to subhumans. I don't even know what
you I would just he's just garbage, human garbage. What
this guy had planned, he pretty much he pretty much

(41:51):
pulled off a lot of it. Now, how do we
secure our important place? And by important places, I would
call it mission critical for schools, for junior high schools,
for elementary schools, for pre ks, for the YMCAs. From

(42:15):
everything that you can, you can imagine, why are we
sending millions and billions of dollars to Ukraine when we
should be up armoring our schools. What are children worth?
I mean, it's a serious question. And my children, I'm saying,

(42:36):
you know, pre k all the way up to grade twelve,
and certainly colleges they need to be reinforced. All this
sort of stuff. Trade schools need to be reinforced. All
of this stuff needs to happen. So how do we
how do we do this? What do we do this?
How do we make this so it doesn't happen again?

(42:57):
And we have a lot of really smart people in
the audience, We have a ton of smart people who
understand what the stakes are. But we cannot allow these
these roving, these roving murderous uh so and sos to
deal with this. How do we do it? How do

(43:20):
we do it? I mean, just remember after nine to eleven,
like nine to eleven happened, and what did we have?
We we we basically stood up, you know, a bunch
of people who were prior before that, uh they were
they were TSA without the TSA name, And and you
started to see a whole lot of uh you know,

(43:42):
up armored kind of things that were happening around. But
the fact of the matter is we still we still
had shootings at schools. We had a we had killings
at schools. Uh. That happens all the time. How do
we how do we handle this? How does this get handled?
I mean, my gosh, I hate to be a wet

(44:02):
blanket here on something. But remember last week when that
that idiot that worked for the Department of Justice through
the subway sandwich at the cop that was standing there,
and and they immediately arrested him and tried to indict him.
They couldn't even pull off the indictment. And there's video

(44:23):
of him throwing the sandwich at the cop. This is terrible.
This is terrible. So what do we do? How do
we do this? Let's go out and talk to Bill. First,
Bill Wilcome of the program.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Hey, Brett, how are you today?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I'm well? Thanks?

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (44:40):
How to stop this? Yes, a real, real simple.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
First, get rid of the cash list bail like what
Trump had just signed. Yes, sir, to bring back the
death penalty.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
And when I.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
Say that, do not do not have somebody sitting in
jail for a year, two years, three years, So they
go to trial. Let's make this a thirty day.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Maximum, have them in from.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Of a judge. If they are found guilty, then they
no longer deserve to breathe with the rest of us. Hey,
if you want to make an example of this do
it as a public execution, two A three like that,
and the rest of them will think I'd better not
do something along these lines.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I get you on that. I do think. I look,
I understand that there's very much a need for the
rocket docket to happen where you don't just sit there
for the next twenty five thirty years. I mean, my gosh,
that's not that's not justice. But but I do appreciate
that that that sentiment, it's very it's very interesting sentiment. Tara,
Welcome to the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 11 (45:48):
Hey, So I wasn't going to call in because I'm
just disturbed by the whole thing. And you know, how
can we fix it? And we keep regurgitating and repeating
and it's this and that. I agree very much with
the gentleman that just called I re justice. We have
to change things. And I'm a huge true crime podcast
or listener. And you know, once finally somebody kills my

(46:11):
oh he's got eighteen murders, he got out for good.
You know that happens all the time. So that's got
to stop. But what killed my heart was this kid
that got on there on the news today and said, yeah,
it was really scary. He was very monotone. I don't
know if you heard it my friend was shot. It
wasn't like, oh my god, my friend was shot.

Speaker 10 (46:31):
He was monotone.

Speaker 11 (46:33):
Boom boom boom, my friend was shot. And we become
very used to this very I don't think there's one answer,
but I think several things. Police. I don't like to
blame parents, but be aware.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Yes, no, I away, absolutely, I agree with that one
hundred percent, thank you very much. I mean that's you
have to know what your kids are doing. You have
to know what they're being exposed to. And it's hard.
They're gonna yell at you, right, they're gonna yell at you.
Go in their room and just like take everything out
and put it in the in the living room and
go through it all and be like, okay, is everything

(47:09):
cool here? What's going on? Is strip strip the room?
Not many? Maybe you don't want to do that. I
understand everybody's different. They're already ticking time bombs. To begin
with News Talk eleven ten, nine nine three WVT Brett

(47:49):
Whitterble Brett Witterbowle Show sevenh four five seven eleven ten.
Let me talk to Earl Earl, Welcome to the program.
What's on your mind, hey man?

Speaker 10 (47:59):
So I think we need to put either National Guard
or actual US Army troops. You sign about ten to
each school.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Armed.

Speaker 10 (48:13):
You have a perimeter on the outside of the school
with about four guys, one at the back door, one
at the front door, and a couple roaming the hallways.
Then it's not a soft target anymore. Yeah, nobody's going
to go in there and do anything.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
All right, So here's the problem. I like the way
you're thinking. But the problem is we have one hundred
and thirty thousand K through twelve schools in the US,
and so we're going to have to definitely beef up
the people who are going to be able to be
in those schools in that way. And so that's a

(48:54):
challenge right there. Now. I'm not against it by any stretch,
but we have to figure out where we're going to
get the manpower for them. That's what we need.

Speaker 10 (49:02):
People will join I'm ex military people will join up
for that. They'll make a separate branch of the military
for school protection. And even young kids coming up that
have grown up through all this stuff, and they say
that the liberals want to say Oh, having armed guys

(49:24):
will scared the kids. The kids are scared to go
to school already. Knowing that armed guys or our US
military there protect them will make them feel better about it.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Now. I think it's look, I think it's worth thinking
about that. I appreciate it, Earl. Thank you very much
for calling.

Speaker 10 (49:41):
No problem man, good show, be.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Safe, absolutely, Ray, what are you thinking about this?

Speaker 7 (49:45):
Right?

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Hello? Yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Go ahead, buddy, Okay, something happened to the following anyway,
what your previous collar just now said. And other short
term solutions. Those kinds of things would work in the
short term. But I have two solutions, and the first
one I'm gonna mention is impossible, and the second one

(50:16):
might be possible for the long term. The first one
is invent a time machine to go back in time
forty fifty sixty years ago when there was a little
more morality in the country and people's own hearts, which
is the impossible auction, and the one that other one

(50:37):
with the long term solutions, would probably be if we
can do it and somehow not infringe on the First Amendment,
do something about this, these this incompetent press and what
they're not telling the people, and what sure the lives
they are telling the people, because if people know why

(51:00):
most of most of everything wrong in this country is
because he's got prop a kind of being being put
out there. Yes, and a lot of people don't know
any better. That's right, because when I was when I
was about I don't know about twenty five years ago,
I first started listening to wb TV with Keith Larson,

(51:22):
and then I moved over and discovered Rush Limbov. Before that,
I didn't know any better myself. I was just depending
on the six o'clock evening news and that's what That's
what I thought was the truth. And that's that's my
point on that.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Now I get you on that one I and I
appreciate that Ray very much. There there's there is a
there is something that is here here that we have
got to address, and I will address it. I will
definitely address one of the problems that we have when

(51:58):
you were young about the audience. Broadly speaking, I know
roughly about what the age components are for people here
in our country, and as listeners on the show, it
was easy to make yourself stand out when we were younger.

(52:23):
Whatever that diff however, you want to define that, right,
Maybe maybe you came up in the sixties, Maybe you
came up in the seventies, the eighties and nineties, the
two thousands, the twenty tens, and the now obviously the
twenty twenties. You used to be able to stand out
very easily, right. They used to be like, and I
don't want to talk about this necessarily, but there used

(52:43):
to be streakers that would go and run around in
a baseball game or a football game. You know, you
always see the idiots that go run out on the
football field and then you know, once in a while
you'll see that the umps have to try to tackle
them or security has to tackle them, and they would
just do that for lap. They would do all that
kind of stuff. Well, in a world where everybody is

(53:03):
trying to garner as much attention as they can possibly garner,
what ends up happening is you have an overdose, right,
you have an overdose of people who are trying to
do crazier and more demanding and more damaged things about this.
And there's an entire culture. And you know what I'm

(53:27):
going to talk about when I say this, there's a culture.
There's a group of people who seem to be pushing
the boundaries even more, and gosh, in twenty twenty five,
I'm already blown away by the most nastiest stuff that

(53:52):
you can possibly ever run into. I can't imagine in
another decade what comes next. I cannot imagine what comes
next in the next decade. The person whose name I
will not utter, the newspeople are doing it. That's fine,
that's cool. I'm not gonna say his name. I'm not
gonna say his name. This person clearly had issues, and

(54:19):
if you note the names, you can stitch together the
identity that is at play here, and that is this
is a person who was once this person and is
now that person. That's a problem. This is almost exactly

(54:40):
mirroring what happened in Nashville. People don't want to talk
about it. Seven four five, seven eleven ten, News Talk
eleven ten and had a nine three WBT. Let's head
on over too. Is that Pam the jam Warner?

Speaker 12 (54:57):
It is?

Speaker 1 (54:57):
How is it on the roads?

Speaker 13 (55:00):
As cheaper as I am? But we're going to get
you through it. It's looking like these delays are really
starting to pick up. I do want to jump right
on over to four eighty five inter Now we've got
an accident blocking the shoulder at Trion Straight exit one.
It's going to be slow from seventy seven north back
to Arrowood Road, and they're under the twenty mile per
hour mark, a few of them even dipping below fifteen

(55:20):
now seventy seven on the northbound side between Archdale and
forty five outer they're going to be between fifteen and twenty.
And on the southbound side and a larger stretch between
West Moorhead and Billy Graham Parkway South, those are trending
right around that twenty. Now, Gaston County really has been
taking it kind of easy on you this afternoon, but
we are going to see some extra delays starting to brew.

(55:41):
It's going to be in a stretch between exits twenty
eight and thirty that's between the dmvway station and four
eighty five Inner. Those are also dropping just under twenty
and it looks like they're starting to grow because as
you get past that and heading toward mccaddonville, the traffic
flows are getting into the yellow, but they're not in
the red yet now two seventy seven on the northbound side.
Also a bit of a hiccup here at Charlotte.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Do you ever wonder why we allow evil to walk
freely among us? I mean, I just it's just one
of those things that I've been ruminating on since this
happened earlier today. I'm gonna have a special commentary on
this coming up in the next hour. But the fact
of the matter is, it's it's very clear. You can
see the transformation that took place between this this character

(56:37):
who was once uh you know, by by all accounts,
just a regular old person, uh, and now is a
completely different person. I know he's dead, he killed himself,
and the reality is this is somebody who's transgender. You
can see it. I watched the manifest I looked at

(56:57):
the stuff. I mean, I've seen all the stuff that
this guy has put out there. The way he was talking,
the way he was acting, all this sort of stuff.
And the particularly horrific component of this is his mother
worked at that school and retired in twenty twenty one.

(57:23):
Retired in twenty twenty one, So this is a person
that obviously either hated his parents. I don't see any
pictures of a father in the picture. But I mean,
who knows what's going on. I don't know if the
mother's still alive. I don't know if she's still around.
I don't know what's going on with that. I came
across her Instagram page. It's the most ordinary sort of

(57:45):
Instagram page, except when you look at the people who
are featured there, you can see clearly a transformation, a
transformation has occurred in one way or another. And look this,
this person is a full grown adult. How do I know?

(58:08):
Because he had an arsenal of weapons. I mean an arsenal,
And I'm not trust me. I am not anti Second Amendment.
A'm anti nutcase with a Second Amendment fetish that I'm
not good with that. Someone who's crazy, who wants to
carry around all these weapons, do this kind of stuff,

(58:29):
and see what's painted on those weapons. I told you,
I sat there and I watched the whole ten eleven
minutes of his babbling, nonsensical.

Speaker 10 (58:38):
Man.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
I wish I could use the word. You know, this
is a person who is very much in league, right
in league with what happened at the at the Christian
School in Nashville. And this was a Catholic school. This
is a Catholic school that was a Christian school. The

(59:01):
difference is this character, this demon. This demon we know
a lot about now. But remember when the progressives in
Nashville and in Tennessee decided they were going to cover
up and they wouldn't release the manifesto. And why didn't

(59:22):
they want to release it? Oh? Because it might give
other people ideas. Let me tell you something. I remember
the day distinctly in the late nineties when those two
scum bums decided they were going to shoot up Columbine, Okay.

(59:47):
And those two guys, those two fellas were all about
murdering people. They were all about murdering innocent people. And
then you got to Virginia Tech. The massacre at Virginia Tech.
Do you guys remember that that maniac from New Jersey

(01:00:09):
who came down enrolled in that school and murdered all
of those people with two handguns maybe three. And I
talked to the guy who had to go in there
and look at the room after the massacre at Virginia Tech,
and he told me he knew everything about that attack.

(01:00:33):
And he told me the two things that bothered him
the worst, the most. He said he never could get
out of his mind. The ringing of the cell phones
that were ringing a NonStop period of time until they
ran out of juice, because these were people who are

(01:00:56):
trying to connect with their kids in the classroom. And
he said, the second worst thing was how as he
walked through the room at Virginia Tech where the massacres occurred,
how many how many cups of coffee that were sitting

(01:01:21):
on the tables that they were at because what they
did was when he came in, he told them to
put their heads down, and he executed them one by
one by one. And this person that I was speaking
with at that period of time said, if one person
had refused and thrown coffee in his face, it may

(01:01:44):
have been a completely different thing. It may may not
have been they he may have just kept killing people.
But he said, if you're ever cornered like that, and
you've got a cup of hot coffee in your hand,
it's worth it to take the shot and try to
try to knock this guy sideways. We have gotten our

(01:02:07):
kids to be acclimated to follow the rules, but they're
following the rules by the worst possible people. This is why,
this is why, this is why we have got to
stop this. We have got to be ready to offer
a defense, and we have got to be ready to

(01:02:28):
deliver the defense when necessary. News Talk eleven ten now

(01:02:50):
and I'm free w b T. By the way, the murderer,
the murderer whose name I will not say, the murderer, Uh,
we wanted to kill Donald Trump too. I mean he
was calling for that as well. I mean, this is
this is a we have gone way off the way,
off the rails. It's just insane. When you think about

(01:03:12):
where we are and you think about how we got here,
it's because the people who are disordered, the people who
do not respect norms and values in the United States
of America, Well, we just cater to them. Let's be

(01:03:33):
honest about that. We just cater to people who are
looking to try to destroy the fabric of the United
States of America, period, full stop. We are living, in
many ways in a culture of chaos, right, Can we
just say that? Can we just acknowledge that? And yet
the thing that we have got to remember and I'm

(01:03:56):
opening up to the conversation, this is a community conversation.
You could you can opine at about this attack in Minneapolis.
You can opine about the insanity of the murder on
the light rail on Friday night. A beautiful person traveling
being murdered by somebody who should have been locked up,

(01:04:20):
the cowardice of silence. We have got to confront the
evil in our time. Now. Now, it has to be now.
People ask the question every time this stuff happens, right,

(01:04:40):
why do we allow evil to walk freely among us? Why,
in the face of mass suffering do we turn away
and avert our gaze and pretend that the darkness is
not really as deep as it is. I think about
that a lot. I think about how it is that
we live in a world where atrocities unfold in real time, broadcast, streamed, dissected,

(01:05:05):
somehow dismissed. Mass casualties become statistics, Genocide becomes a headline,
children vanish into the abyss of war, trafficking, neglect, and
of course, ladies and gentlemen, we scroll right past it
like it's another story. It's not just a failure of policy,
it's a failure of courage, it's a failure of spirit.

(01:05:25):
We deny evil because confronting it means something has to
happen from one of us. It demands discomfort, it demands sacrifice,
It requires that we risk our reputations and our comforts,
and even our safety to stand in the gap between

(01:05:47):
the innocent and the wicked. When culture, when culture gets
to this point, there has to be a reset. But
here's the truth. Evil thrives on our denial. It feeds
on our silence. It multiplies in the shadows that we
refuse to illuminate. So why do we let evil doers

(01:06:11):
walk freely? Because we've convinced ourselves that justice is somebody
else's job. That's what it is, somebody else's job. That
morality is subjective, that truth is negotiable. We've traded conviction
for convenience, and in doing so, we've become complicit. What

(01:06:37):
we're living in is the fruit of our fallen nature.
From the beginning, humanity wrestled with the serpent's whisper? Did
God really say? The ancient question still echoes today. It
is the seed of moral relativism, the root of cowardice,

(01:07:01):
the excuse we use to avoid the hard work of righteousness.
We're falling, but we're not forsaken. We're capable of redemption.
But redemption begins with recognition. We must name the evil
for what it is. This is evil. They're gonna try

(01:07:22):
to couch it. They're gonna try to bury it. They're
gonna come around tomorrow and say, did you know that
this person got fired at the Department of Huah and
this person deserves to keep that job, And they'll use
this to just let it go away. You know they're
gonna do it. You know they're gonna do it. So

(01:07:44):
what do we do? We're capable of redemption. Redemption begins
with recognition. We need to name the evil for what
it is. We have to call it out, not as
a political inconvenience, as a cultural misunderstanding, but as a force,

(01:08:05):
a force that seeks to devour, to devour the soul
of humanity. And yet we hesitate. Why do we hesitate?
Especially when evil is vast, especially when it's coming in
the form of mass casualties, systemic oppression, our global conflict.
We tell ourselves it's too big, too complex, too far away.

(01:08:29):
But evil is never that far. It's always near. It's
the choices we make, It's the voices we silence, It's
the truths that we dilute. So how do we stop it?
We stop by being cowards, even when it cost us.
We protect the vulnerable, even when it's unpopular. We confront

(01:08:51):
the powerful, even when it's dangerous. We build institutions that
honor justice. And what happened today was not just, it
was injustice. We raise children who know the difference between
tolerance and surrender. Stopping evils not a single act. It's
a posture, it's a way of life. It's a refusal

(01:09:14):
to let fear dictate our moral compass. There's no neutral
ground in the face of evil. Tell me where the
line is, Where is the line between good and evil?
Silence is not innocence, it's an endorsement. So what kind
of people were we.

Speaker 7 (01:09:32):
Going to be?

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Let's confront it not with rage, but with righteousness, not
with vengeance, but vision, a vision of a world where
truth's not buried, where justice is not delayed, and where
the innocent are not forgotten. You see these people saying,
haw could that happen? Why did that happen? Who did that?

(01:09:57):
Why did that happen? Okay, fine, you could say that
all day, all night. But the only way you prove
to anybody, to anybody, that you're serious is to stop
it from ever happening again. Think about the atrocities of
the twentieth century. Did we let did we let more

(01:10:20):
of them? Happen after they happened, By and large, we didn't,
and we took the mantle of leadership. We as people
have to take that mantle of leadership back. And your
yes should be a yes, and your no should be
a no. News Talk eleven ten nine three WBT for

(01:10:50):
Attwaterbole Show, taking your phone calls. Everything is a fair game.
Uh so, how are you kind of digesting this? How
are you processing this? How are you what are you
expecting next? I mean, there's there's really there's not a
whole lot of stuff that we can control in this regard.

(01:11:11):
I just for from my from my from my personal perspective,
just as a human being, I don't understand why we
just let people get away with stuff, Like they just
get away with stuff and nobody, nobody even calls them.
I like, it's it's just like you just surrender that
the main position is surrender. You know, Mark says, you

(01:11:38):
know Brett, when they started defunding the police in this
cash list, bail I said, eventually they're gonna have to
come back to law and order. And yeah, it's going
to be a site to see when they start putting
so many criminals in jail. We're going to need a
lot of prayer when this begins. I think people shou

(01:12:00):
pray all the time twenty four to seven. It's just
it's the one thing you can do. And isn't it
interesting that you have not ever seen a real run
by people to demand that we be allowed to have
our kids pray in school. The minute you even make
a mention of that, oh we should pray. No, that's terrible.

(01:12:24):
What's terrible? What's terrible about prayer? ACL you doesn't like it,
the acl you doesn't have to say it. Nobody has
to pray right nobody's compelled to pray. You must pray
right now. But I'll tell you what. Right now, you
got a lot of people who have got a lot
vested in the system of having people definitely not pray,

(01:12:49):
like there's a lot of money and don't let them pray.
There's not like a lot of money of like, hey,
we're gonna give you fifty million dollars if you pray. Oh,
and here's the thing, get get real close here, you progressives.
I'm serious about this. Progressives that don't like people praying

(01:13:10):
in the public square, in the church, in the university,
in the school. I got news for you. I got
some great news for you. They're praying anyways, and you
know what they're They're praying that you'll turn away from
the nonsense. That's what it is. I think we need
to we need a we need a whole bunch of

(01:13:32):
people praying for the wackos. And I'm not I'm not
making fun of people. I'm saying, you get these people
you see, you see like videos and things, and people
are losing their minds. Jacob Fry, Look, he said some
really snotty things today. We're like, we don't need the prayers.

(01:13:55):
We had them shot at church, like he said something
based to that effect. I think we ought to pray
for that mayor tonight. You know, when you're shutting it down,
you should pray for walls to get his mind right.
I understand you hate Donald Trump, but it doesn't mean
you should hate little kids and that have been traumatized.

(01:14:19):
Like one is not equivalent to the other. And that's
a problem. And so I think I think when you
when you look at all this kind of stuff, these people,
they just seem to be lost. You have a bunch
of people who are just basically lost. And the only
way how are you going to do it. Like, let

(01:14:40):
me ask you a question right now, would you rather
be in Putin's Russia? Would you rather be in Zelenski's Ukraine?
Would you rather be in Cuba? Would you rather be
in any of these other places that are out there? Right?
Would you would you rather be in those places? No,
you want to be in the United States. Why do
you want to be in the United States. You want

(01:15:01):
to be in the United States because it's freedom. We
have freedom. It's the default position that we have is freedom.
And the problem is most people, most people are afraid
of having their own agency. See, when you have your
own agency, it means that you get to decide what

(01:15:25):
you want to do. It means you get to choose.
They tell you that pro choice or abortion or things
like that, that those are things that are that are
able to make you a better, stronger person, and maybe
they're going to try to sell you on that. But
the fact of the matter is you have agency over yourself.

(01:15:49):
And there's a lot of people that are not comfortable
with agency over themselves. They don't know what to do
because from a very young age, all the way up
through high school into college and maybe into whatever else,
you get involved with. You're just swimming along, You're just
doing your thing and you don't want to have to

(01:16:10):
make decisions. Making decisions is hard. There's consequences for bad decisions,
and if you do come across a bad decision that
you've made, you know what ends up happening. They tell
you stuff like it's not your fault, Well, it is
your fault. We didn't know that we had to pay
back our student loans when you bought the car. Did

(01:16:36):
you think you didn't have to pay back the loans
for your car? Because they are going to repoe it.
And unfortunately they could repoe that car and resell it.
They have absolutely no value at the academic level to
come in and repoe what you learned in the colleges
and the universities. They can't. They can't do anything with that.

(01:17:02):
And what we have to be is responsible. People have
decided that I'm gonna run to the government. I'm gonna
run to Focahontas, I'm gonna run to all these people.
I'm gonna go to all you know. It's it's it's incredible,
and I'm gonna let you hear some sound that like
you're you're not going to believe when we come back,
because this thing, this thing is is unbelievable. Let me

(01:17:28):
tell you something. The left is in full retreat. Tell
me what the left's answer is going to be to
what happened in the shooting at the at the at
the Catholic school in Minneapolis. What is the answer going
to be? Donald Trump could could bring heavy, heavy hitters

(01:17:51):
into town. What are what are they going to say?
Leave us alone? I don't think people want to be
left alone. I think people want agree, and I think
people want to know that this is never gonna happen again.
But unfortunately it happened before. In Nashville News Talk eleven

(01:18:17):
ten out of nine three WBT. Let's listen to some
sound of the day. We've got sound from the day.
All right, we're gonna go. Cut number seventeen, So okay,
cut number seventeen. Scott Jennings warning the crowd. Go.

Speaker 12 (01:18:30):
This is the part where I warn the crowd. I'm
fixing the slander of the Democrats. If your squeam ish,
you may want to exit. It's gonna get ugly. As
we stand here tonight, the Democratic Party is but a
puddle nationally and here in South Carolina. Well, nationally, it's
a puddle here. It already evaporated. I'm sorry to I
feel bad for some of these Democrats I run into

(01:18:51):
on CNN right now. They're in a political party that
has a thirty three percent approval rating.

Speaker 6 (01:18:58):
That might be generous.

Speaker 12 (01:18:59):
One poll I saw head of at nineteen percent. The
Party of FDR has become the Party of DNR.

Speaker 6 (01:19:06):
Do not resuscitate.

Speaker 12 (01:19:07):
I'm not a mathematician, but it turns out that when
you die on the wrong side of every eighty twenty
hill in America, you wind up closer to the twenty
than the eighty in terms of public opinion your legal immigration.
Have you ever seen Democrats fight harder than they did
for the Maryland demand of Brago Garcia crime? Senator Graham

(01:19:30):
said it. Every Democrat in Congress knows crime is out
of control in Washington, DC.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
I go there every week.

Speaker 12 (01:19:38):
You get off the train and you trip over two
drug deals and two public acts of lewdness before you
given get to the taxi stand. So the President decides
to do something about it, and look out, the Democrats
are awake again. The violent criminals need their support. I've
never seen anything like it. The principal constituencies of the
Democratic Party are illegal millions, illegal violent criminals, and the

(01:20:03):
pro Hamas Death to America protesters who are clogging up
the streets in college campuses of America. That is their
principal constituency. It is wild what they've become.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
So there you go, Little Scott Jennings. I think he's
gonna run. I think he's gonna run for office. I
think he's gonna run for Senate in Kentucky. Harry Enton, Okay,
Harry Enton's gonna He's definitely gonna give some soothing, uh
cleansing kind of a feeling for the Democratic I'm sure,
I'm sure he is cut number nineteen. Let's hear what

(01:20:35):
he's got to say.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
Go.

Speaker 14 (01:20:36):
Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the
American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with the
American consumers.

Speaker 6 (01:20:44):
Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing?

Speaker 14 (01:20:46):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here?
In terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key for swing states
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this point.

Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
In the cycle since at least two.

Speaker 14 (01:21:03):
Thousand and five, and all four of these key battleground states.
We go out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada.
Republicans haven't done this well since two thousand and five. Oh,
my goodness, Gration at this point of cycle.

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
North Carolina.

Speaker 14 (01:21:17):
I couldn't find the point at which Republicans were doing
better at this point in the cycle. It's at least
this century. It probably goes way back in the last century.
And Pennsylvania very similar. Republicans doing better at this point
than at any point at any point this century, at
least as far as I could find.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
Now, what types of gains.

Speaker 14 (01:21:34):
Are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during the first Trump administration,
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump first administration.

Speaker 6 (01:21:49):
In Arizona, you got a Republican gain of three points.

Speaker 14 (01:21:52):
Okay, how about Nevada up the hill we go, even
though we're sticking in the southwest, a gain of six points.
How about again, we come to the east coast North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
And in the Keystone state, in the Commonwealth of.

Speaker 14 (01:22:04):
Pennsylvania, again we're talking about a gain of eight points.
My goodness, gracious for Republicans. They are converting old former
Democrats to their side of the ledger as well as
picking up new voters, registering new voters, and it absolutely
paid off for them back in the twenty twenty four election. Now,
of course, Donald Trump has been president since January. Are

(01:22:25):
there any bright spots for Democrats? Have they picked up
any ground since January one in terms of party registration? Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:22:33):
Uh none?

Speaker 14 (01:22:33):
The these key swing states, these four key swing states.

Speaker 6 (01:22:36):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 14 (01:22:37):
Party registration margin gains since January one, twenty twenty five.
Which party is gained in Arizona the GOP? How about
Nevada the GOP? North Carolina the GOP? How about in Pennsylvania.
We'll make it four for four the GOP. The bottom
line is this, Jessica Dean. When it comes to party registration,
Republicans have made massive gains compared to eight years ago.

(01:22:59):
They are in their best pace position in these key
four swing states dating back at least twenty years.

Speaker 6 (01:23:04):
You have to go back at.

Speaker 14 (01:23:05):
Least twenty years at least in the case in about
a longer in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. So Republicans looking
pretty gosh darn good at least when it comes to
party registration.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
And we'll see what happens down the road.

Speaker 14 (01:23:15):
But at this point, as I said at the beginning,
the Democratic brand is about as good a position as
the cracker Bower rebrand.

Speaker 6 (01:23:22):
It is bad, bad, bad for the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
Don welcome to the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (01:23:27):
Done?

Speaker 6 (01:23:29):
Hey?

Speaker 8 (01:23:29):
I just want to talk a little bit about prayer.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
Yes, sir, that's okay if I've read correctly.

Speaker 8 (01:23:38):
When Jesus was telling people how to pray, he said,
go to into your claws it and close the door
and speak softly and to your God because you don't
have to yell and scream like the people in the
square or the people who are praying to be heard,
because your Father in Heaven knows what you're asking before

(01:23:59):
you ask. That's right, and so and so what I
want to we say, there's no prayer in schools. I
remember one of my children in high school and uh,
he said, ed, why don't wait prayer school. I could
put you pray all you want to, like, Jesus said,
He said, what do you mean? So I said, what
do you want to pray for? He said, I'm taking

(01:24:20):
a math test that I'm worried about. He said, well,
just start your head and said, Dear Lord, help me
do my best.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
That's right, that's right, that's all he's got to say.

Speaker 8 (01:24:28):
You don't have to be heard by everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:24:32):
And the second thing I've talked about is guns don't
kill people. People do, but there are too many crazy
people who have mental health problems who have access to firearms.

Speaker 7 (01:24:46):
We do.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
Yeah, we have an epidemic of We have an epidemic
of the of the crazy, for sure. Great great stuff.
I appreciate you being out there. Thanks so much.

Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
Don change our lives, the lives.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
Radio News Talk elevent It's the Brett Weinerble Show. Final
segment of the show. Coming up next breaking with Brett
Jensen and then what do we have? We got? What
do we got? Coming up here at seven o'clock? Right?
We got? What do we got? Who we got? Carolina Carolina,

(01:25:22):
Carolina Football Live, Carolina Football Live. You gotta be sticking
around all night long, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh we we gotta, we gotta keep you here. It's
gonna be incredible.

Speaker 11 (01:25:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
I don't want to get you to to razzle dazzled
with this clip. I'm gonna let you hear. But let
me tell you something. Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren is on. See.
I can't say it. I can't say what she's on.
I gotta say Elizabeth Warren is a Senator from Massachusetts
who famously, uh had issues in terms of her going

(01:26:04):
out there and talking about her background. But you got
to hear this. This is great, This is great. Let
a rip go.

Speaker 15 (01:26:12):
One thing that is coming out of this criminal referral
Bill Poulti, he is the true bally who is serving
as the Federal Housing Finance Agency director. Now they're been
referrals not just for Lisa Cook on mortgage fraud, but
also against the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, and
also Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California. I think, I
mean those are three people, one who's voted against the

(01:26:35):
great cuts that Trump wants, and two others who have
either criticized him or prosecuted him. What you make of
the fact that all three of them have been accused
of mortgage fraud.

Speaker 16 (01:26:44):
Here well, here's this guy, Bill Poulty, who has access
to everybody's mortgage records because he's the head of the
agency that was designed in the aftermath of the two
thousand and eight crash to make sure that we don't
have widespread mortgage fraud. Remember when the banks and the

(01:27:07):
mortgage brokers were out there selling those liars loans and
other loans.

Speaker 6 (01:27:12):
That's supposed to be.

Speaker 16 (01:27:12):
The overall job of this agency. And here's someone who
has taken access to this individual level data, and it
would appear is running it against Donald Trump's enemies list
to see if he can make a claim. I don't
even know if it's true, but make a claim against anyone.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
Elizabeth Warren has this big, fancy house in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
It's like millions of dollars. Elizabeth Warren has a tony
posh kind of set up down in Washington, DC. Anybody

(01:27:57):
know how much you earn if you're a senator just
being a senator. How much do you earn as a senator?
It's like one hundred I think it's like a buck
seventy something like that, maybe Buck seventy five. Before she
was a senator, she was a professor at Hallvid pulling

(01:28:21):
down probably two two twenty five, two fifty. How do
you get those fancy houses? If you got you notice,
if you if you were theoretically saying what I just
he's just trying to run the names against the enemy's list,

(01:28:42):
you would be one of those people. But he's not
doing that. Why are you doing that? Why are you
doing that? I famously famously said, once upon a time
in the spirit of Lizzy Bordon, And what you have

(01:29:02):
with her is she's trying to gin up the mustard,
which is a very terrible way to kind of cross multiply.
But the fact of the matter is she's trying to
say that Donald Trump's coming for her next but she
doesn't say it. She doesn't say it is shifty shift

(01:29:23):
the person who's in charge of the particular thing that's
happening there in New York, by way of by way
of Virginia. And then, of course, what do you have.
You have somebody who's in potential trouble because she may

(01:29:44):
have not told the truth about her loan and may
not have put down the appropriate information. Now if I
am if I am a cat, and I get put
in a room with a whole bunch of rocking chairs
and people are sitting in those rocking chairs, and I'm

(01:30:05):
sitting there, I'm a cat. I gotta hope my tail
does not get caught. We already know about Shifty Shift,
we already know potentially about the lovely woman who's working
at the FED, and we know we know about Letitia James. Suddenly,
what do you have? She's like, so you know this

(01:30:29):
is supposed to be the thing that protects people from
liar loans. I would just like to amputate the loans part.
I would like to say to the senator from Massa Choosetts.
I would love to just say to her, Okay, why
don't we find out who is telling the truth and
who is the liar? Donald Trump? The liar? Is Bill

(01:30:53):
Polty the liar? I don't think so. I don't think so.
We know with biblical certitude that Donald Trump paid off
his loans quickly with mar A Lago and other buildings
that he builds. So why is why are you how

(01:31:16):
come you want to really you really want to do this.
This is not a smart move. You know what this
is like, this is like poking the bear and you
go on cned and I understand, I see what happened. Okay,
she baited you in to try to take in a
swing at Donald Trump, and you you did a pretty

(01:31:40):
good job of trying to go HBP hit by a pitch.
She leaned in on it and took the shot on
her arm. She's all like boom, Okay, that's just because
they're all liars. No, no, be careful what you wish for,
because to mike the metaphors, eventually you might catch that

(01:32:04):
car or something like that. I'll work on it overnight, everybody,
It's been a pleasure. Coming up next, Breaking with Brett Jensen,
