Global Shifts and Party Rifts On The Brett Winterble Show

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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy. He reflects on the historical significance of the former Soviet bloc and praises leaders like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Lech Wałęsa for their roles in dismantling the Iron Curtain. Brett expresses hope that Trump will remind Putin that the territory is no longer his.

Later, Brett dives into a powerful monologue examining the ideological evolution of the Democratic Party, tracing its shift from a working-class coalition to a technocratic, elite-driven platform. He outlines how Bill Clinton’s embrace of globalism, Wall Street, and Beijing marked the start of a neoliberal era, later fueled by Silicon Valley’s cultural influence. Brett argues that the 2008 financial crisis catalyzed a progressive uprising—Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders, and AOC—pushing the party further left.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Dudes talk eleven ten, ninety nine to three WBT. It's
the Brett winerbul Show. It is great to be with you.
Seven four five, seven eleven ten. So much good stuff,
so much amazing stuff, so much great stuff. We are
waiting to hear from President Trump. He is apparently going
to speak. He spoke with Putin and uh Zelensky, and

(00:51):
apparently the President of the United States is going to
go and meet Putin again. You want to know where
he's going, but he knows where he's going. He's gonna
go to Hungary. He's gonna go to Budapest. I believe
he's gonna go and spend time over there with with
Vladimir Putin. And you know, I have to say, just

(01:12):
in the in the interest of history, one of the
things that's remarkable is I hope President Trump looks at
Putin and looks at Hungary and all of this territory,
and I hope he looks at Putin and goes, how's

(01:34):
it feel now that this is not yours anymore? Because
once upon a time, you guys were all behind the
Iron Curtain until Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan and of course
the great leader the Iron lady in Margaret Thatcher and

(01:55):
John Paul the second and of course, as always I'm
always going to credit him, and that would be the
man who was the goodance boat worker in Lequallenza. They
took him down to areas and levels that they never
could have assumed, and it was so incredible. I'm just

(02:16):
really happy. I'm happy because you have to understand something
about international politics. It's this. It's easy to get to
a place where you are not confident. And America was shaky.

(02:36):
Let's be honest. America has been shaky since two thousand
and eight, Okay, with the mortgage meltdown and all the
nonsense and everything else that was going on with it.
America was awfully shaky. And I think a lot of
that is because we had two people introduced into the
system in Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Joe Biden was

(03:00):
never meant to be anybody more more important than a
congressman or a senator one of a hundred. I will
forever blame Barack Obama for putting that guy on the
ticket and weakening America's resolve period full stop. Obviously, Barack

(03:22):
Obama got elected in his own right, got re elected
in his own right, understand that, But Joe Biden, Joe
Biden did more damage for the American people than almost
any politician in the history of history. And I'm serious
about this. Maybe maybe you could make the argument, uh

(03:43):
that that that guy that that guy was was going
to be, you know, serviceable. He's terrible. And so when
you think about this, it's got to be it's got
to be galling to the entire administration that is taking
place over there in the in the Biden crew, they

(04:05):
want to get the credit. They want to get the
credit for the good stuff. They want to be feated,
they want to be part of it, they want to
do all of it. The reality is, Joe Biden was
hired to do a job, and he did a job
on America. He had no instance, no interest in doing
anything but taking America down a peg. He always talked

(04:28):
negatively about the United States. He never gave a single
solitary uplift sort of a speech in any of his appearances.
He checked his watch when the when the service members
were being transferred, the dignified transfer of those who lost
their lives at the Abbey Gate. This is a guy

(04:51):
who needs to be forgotten pronto. And what you're seeing
right now is the vestiges of what happens when you
have politicians who are just like Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer,
Bernie Sanders. These are people that are not serious. These
are people who are barely cogent. These are people who

(05:12):
do not understand how the speed of business works. Everybody
gets elected to the House, everybody gets elected to the Senate.
Everybody gets those jobs. Right. Oh, I'm a senator, I'm
a congressman. I'm all this sort of stuff. The world
doesn't function at the speed of politics. The world functions
at the speed of business. You have a businessman in

(05:35):
the White House, you have a young guy alongside him
in the White House. This is why things get done.
If we had Kamala Harris, she would still be trying
to figure out the underpinnings of illegal immigration and we

(05:57):
would be thirty sixty seven million deep in the country.
This is an important moment. You can feel it most importantly.
You you king worshipers, meaning the no Kings, the No

(06:17):
Kings movements, the no Kings. You guys, just you sit
back and watch. It's going to be fascinating. News Talk
eleven ten, not nine three WBT, Brightwaterbull Show. Good to

(06:39):
be with you, all right, if you want to reach
out to us, you can reach out to us WBT
text line driven by Liberty Buick gmc our telephone number.
Both ways we are seven oh four five seven eleven
ten seven zero four five seven zero eleven ten. So
what I think is so interesting is is what is

(07:01):
about to happen that I think is very important. Number One,
you have the debate in New York City tonight, you
have the debate in Virginia tonight. You have all these
different sort of things that are happening, and do not
go to sleep. Do not go to sleep on any

(07:23):
of these less than sort of tickets. And I'm not
trying to be disrespectful in any way. Most people are
very curious to see what happens in the twenty twenty
six campaign right where you're gonna have Senate seats up
up forbid and all that sort of stuff. But one

(07:43):
of the things that it's important to look at is Okay,
so we have mom DOMI he did the interview yesterday
with with with Fox News, and we learned absolutely nothing.
We learned absolutely not a single solitary thing. And so tonight,
you're going to have a debate, and it's going to
be a debate with Mandami. It's going to be Curtis

(08:04):
Lee with my friend, our friend of the show. And
of course you're going to have Cuomo. Cuomo makes me
so sad. He's like the crypt keeper. He's not dynamic.
He's already said publicly that if Mundami wins, he's going
to leave the state. I mean, Curtis is not doing that.

(08:26):
In fact, I sent a note. I sent a missive
to Curtis earlier this morning with an idea that I
think he should utilize. I'm not going to tell you
what it is unless he does end up utilizing it.
But the fact of the matter is the City of
New York cannot be allowed to fail. It just cannot.

(08:48):
It is an anchor for so much of our commerce,
our business, all of that sort of stuff. Nobody wants
to see it go back to the old days, and specifically,
you know, going back to what Detroit was once upon
a time, not in the in the great days where

(09:09):
you had all the automotives and the people were prosperous
and all that I'm talking about. When it went bad,
when it turned badly we do not want New York
to go badly, because I'm telling you right now, have
you noticed I'll take I'll take three calls on this.
Have you noticed how crowded the roads are right now?

(09:32):
Have you seen the crowding I drove home last night.
Normally the trip I take home is probably twenty five minutes.
It took me an hour and fifteen to get back
to my house last night. The roads are packed, And
the only thing I can figure is it's a whole
bunch of people sliding down from Maine and New Hampshire

(09:58):
and Vermont and massach choose sits in Pennsyltaki and New
Jersey and all of this stuff. These people are coming
in in a massive push, in a massive push. Now
you need to get on your knees and you need
to pray. You need to pray that Mandami loses the race.

(10:20):
I'm serious. This is a biblical sort of a thing,
because you know what kind of a of a of
a slide is gonna come our way here on their
way to everything on the East Coast. You'll not be
able to find a parking lot for the next thirty years.

(10:41):
I can't even find a place to park my car.
You do not want this. This is why I say
this guy, this guy that wants to murder babies in Virginia,
nobody says they want to put two bullets in the
babies and the parents. That guy is still getting defended.
We are all offended. He's still getting defended. You want

(11:03):
to hear this, You want to hear this clip?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Here?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Have you got have you got to Tim Kine? The
Tim Kine clip? Uh? Listen, listen to what Tim Kaine
says in the deference for this kid who wants to
shoot babies and their parents, which I cannot possibly understand
in any possible way, shape or form. Play it for me.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
You have condemned what Jones wrote in those text messages,
but you and there are no Democratic officials in Virginia
who have called for Jones to drop out of the race.
And Republicans are seizing that on that as a political
opportunity and basically saying, hey, Senator Kane, you don't have
the moral high ground here.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
What do you think of that?

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Well?

Speaker 6 (11:43):
And look, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia has said
some vile things like what I haven't called on her
to drop out of the race, like what you call
the voters are going to make this decision. The Jay
Jones texts were abhorrent and they are indefensible. But I
also have known you Jones for twenty five years, and
I put that knowledge on a scale, and it weighs

(12:04):
more than one really indefensible set of texts. But I'll
tell you.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
This, Jake paid interesting to know.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Jay Jones has earnestly and sincerely apologized that he made
a grievous error. What did you hear from JD. Vance
Did he say any of these texts were wrong. I
didn't hear any condemning of the texts. I didn't hear
him having any concerns about what was said. So look,
I think people in public life, when they make mistakes,

(12:32):
they ought to apologize at a minimum. And I've heard
that from Jay, and I certainly haven't heard it from JD.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Vans.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Why don't you apologize to the people of Virginia. You're allout,
You're allout, You're a Frank Lautenberg. You are so so fake,
so phony. So you're saying so you're saying that you
know the kid for twenty five years. That puts him
at age eleven. That puts him at age eleven. The kid,

(13:02):
the kid is age eleven since he's known them. You
know why, because the uh, the kid's parents were tight
with Cain number one, number two. Uh they're they're they're
they're like royalty in Virginia. Okay. And so you have

(13:25):
put yourself on the record there, Tim Kaine. You have
put your record out there as saying shooting babies, shooting
babies equivalent to vile messages by idiots who should be
run from the party. And I'm proud enough to say

(13:45):
that I don't like I don't like people as as
a father to children, as somebody who believed is pro life.
How you could ever in a million years you want
to say you want to shoot babies like that is
you know, you know who blushes from that? The worst
of the worst of the Taliban, okay, would blush for

(14:07):
that from that. It's disgusting, It's wrong. You should say listen.
I mean, he doesn't even justify why he said it.
Were you're drinking that night, were you doing drugs? What
was it? Is there any kind of exculpatory thing that
you could possibly have in that regard? No, no, no,
I just thought that that's what had to happen. He

(14:28):
defended Polpot who murdered three hundred three million people in
the south in Southeast Asia. I mean, give me a break, man,
Tim Kane watched Tim Kane. I think Tim Kane's got
some some issues in his closets. I think he's got

(14:50):
some issues, and I think he's trying to save this
kid whom he's known for twenty five years. News Talk

(15:14):
eleven ten. I'm nine three WBT Okay, I'm not laughing.
I'm not laughing. I far be it from me to
laugh about these sorts of things. But I do have
to look at this. Antifa members face first ever terrorism
charges from DJ Why what they do? What they do?

(15:38):
Let's find out. This is town hall, this is town
hall earlier today, two Antifa members. I always feel like
I'm saying it wrong when I say Antifi. I think
I guess it's what too Antifa. I don't like the
emphasis on the Antifa. I like the Antifa, like they're
anti FA makes more sense. Antifa members have been indicted

(16:03):
by a federal grand jury on terrorism related charges in
connection with the July fourth attack on an Immigration and
Customs enforcement facility. In Texas, federal prosecutors on Thursday unsealed
an indictment originally filed Wednesday, accusing Cameron Arnold and Zachary

(16:30):
Evitts of providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder
federal officers, and for firing weapons during those attempts. Now,
if that run of charges is true, I'm going to
tell you right now, those people are never going to
get out of jail shooting guns at federal agents. Anybody

(16:57):
remember what happened with Raven Day and the burning in Waco.
The Feds do not look kindly on people who shoot
guns at Feds, and you are going to see people
getting i mean absolutely jacked up. Now, it's let's be

(17:22):
honest and let's be fair. I'm a fair minded man mostly,
but the fact of the matter is they have to
prove this case. Are you sure that those are the
people that shot them? Are you sure that those are
the people that attacked How do you know? They wear
black masks, You don't know maybe who you're grabbing and
what you're doing and all that sort of stuff. But

(17:44):
let's just continue this. This was a planned and coordinated
terrorist attack on the Prairie Land Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas,
where armed extremists tried to murder US officers on July,
on July fourth of them all dates. Can you imagine that's
got to be a compounding, sort of additional We are

(18:08):
executing under President Trump's new authorities at record speed. He
told this is cash Ptel. To date, the FBI has
made over twenty arrests tied to this case and related
antifah networks. No one gets to harm law enforcement, not
on our watch, not now, not on our watch, not now,

(18:34):
not ever, no way. No. I mean, Arnold and Evetts,
along with nine other people ambushed federal agents using fireworks
to divert attention as they've vandalized government vehicle. These guys
are not I'm telling you, they are gonna go away

(18:55):
for a law I mean we're talking like fifty sixty
seventy years. So listen to what they're accused of. When
officers moved in, Arnold yelled, get to the rifles. According
to the indictment, seconds later, co conspirator I Arnold opened

(19:18):
fire on the officers, striking the Alvarado officer in the neck.
As the unarmed correctional officers ducked and ran for cover.
The wounded officer fell to the ground, but was able
to return a few shots. Co Conspirator I continued to
fire additional rounds until his rifle jammed. The attackers then

(19:42):
left the scene. The indictment said Arnold and Evitts are
facing up to twenty years in prison. The charges come
weeks after President Trump designated Antifa as a terrorist organization.
Now here's the thing that's that's that's something that ought

(20:03):
to be noted here, okay, something that ought to be noted.
You're listening to baby Back Ribs in Chicago. You're listening
to Brandon Johnson in Chicago. You're hearing all of the
stuff that they say. And yet, what are you seeing
with the people who are in ice and if you

(20:23):
see the people who are the uh clothed sort of
cops that are that are also working this at the
same time, what are you seeing? Anybody have an idea,
I can tell you exactly what you're seeing. You're seeing
by the Feds. You're seeing restraint. They could just go

(20:44):
up in the street and just start opening up on them.
They don't Why because they're professionals. Why because they don't
want to shed innocent blood. Why because they don't want
to kill anybody. Antifa. Apparently these guys are on a
different mission. You see, everything is hunky dory, right, everything

(21:06):
is hunky dory. And then what happens? Then what happens?
You know what happens? This is This is lunacy. And
by the way, I'm gonna tell you something here in
a minute, and I'm gonna let you hear the sound
from last night because I'm gonna tell you this. There's
a problem the Schumer shutdown. There's been a coup. There

(21:32):
has been a coup DETA. For those of you who
do not know how to spell that, that would be coup, coup,
separate letter, d apostrophe, t A T.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
Coup data News.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Talk eleven ten, nine three WBT Brett Waterbill Show, Good
to Be with You seven four five seven, eleven ten.
That's the anger that's happening now among the Democrats, especially
after what happened last night. Let me give you a
little bit of this. We have a clip. This is
from last night. One of your favorite people, AOC, one
of your other favorite people. I know you clamor for

(22:22):
these people, uh, and I have to I have to
give you guys what you want, So I'm giving you
what you want. We have AOC and we have Bernie Sanders.
And let me tell you something here. This is quite something.
It's cut number two. Let's listen to AOC Bernie Sanders
on Schumer cut to please.

Speaker 9 (22:42):
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be
worried about a primary challenge from you?

Speaker 10 (22:46):
And no, let this is talking about to have a
country that is falling apart.

Speaker 11 (22:57):
We got a house housing crisis, a health crisis, and
education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality, a corrupt campaign finances,
and the media says, boy, you're gonna run what are
gonna run for?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Nobody cares? Son cares.

Speaker 9 (23:11):
Here's the health speaker and President Trump and the Vice
president saying it, all right, pardon of.

Speaker 11 (23:15):
Course, they're saying it to deflect attention away.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
From the real issue exactly.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
And he let me tell you what the real issue
is that CFCNN talks about it. We're living in the
richest country in the history of the world, right right,
all right, you tell me why we're the only nation
not to guarantee healthcare old people, the only nation not
to guarantee paid family and medical aid. Why we have
a seven dollars and twenty five cent an hour minimum wage,
Why we have eight hundred thousand people sleeping out on

(23:40):
the street. Why we have a president who denies the
reality of climate change, Why we have oligarchics on top
who have more and more power every day. Let's talk
about that issue, not her own political future.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Mmm. Now I want you to replay this. I'm gonna
tell you when to stop. They play it, replay this
one more time.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Go.

Speaker 9 (24:03):
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be
worried about a primary challenge from you?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And no talking about stop? Stop? Why is Bernie getting
up in her business? Why is he doing that? He's
cutting her off?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So the question was, is it because you are thinking
about running for a challenge against Why does Bernie Sanders
have to get in that mix? See Bernie Sanders is
as frightened as Chuck Schumer is. Okay, guaranteed because they
see what's going on. If Madamie wins the election, Okay,

(24:44):
if Mamdamie wins the election in New York, which looks
like it's likely, she's the king maker, She's the queen maker.
She's the king queen maker. She's the king in Queenie whatever,
what do you would She's gonna be the boss of
New York. He's gonna have to take her calls. She

(25:08):
built him in her lab, uh, trained him up, taught
them all the stuff that he knows. Not Burnie, I'm
talk about Bernie. I'm talking about Mondami. They are going
to Oh you may as well just rename New York
City Alexandria Ocassio Cortes City, because he's gonna be the boss.

(25:31):
This guy's gonna be the boss. That's what is going
to happen. And you don't think she's gonna run for
the presidency in this next upcoming period of time. Just
think about all the stuff that's going on, right, think
about all the stuff that's going on. You got new jacks, right,
you got new people coming into this. You got Mandami

(25:52):
and everybody that he's bringing with him, and you've got
aoc and everything that she's bringing with with with her.
This this is going to be an earthquake. Okay, this
is gonna be an earthquake. And yet Bernie doesn't know
to sit in his place and sh stop let her talk.

(26:13):
What is this? I mean, I'm sorry, but what is this?
You didn't do? What have you done? You just you
perpetually run for office and you covetch about all the
stuff that goes on. Oh, we can't get seven to
twenty five an hour, We can't do any of that
kind of stuff. Why didn't Biden get you like thirty
five dollars an hour? He was in charge and large
and in charge. Donald Trump was going to prison. Remember

(26:35):
all that stuff that they gave you, It was all lies.
But AOC is not AOC is not impervious because I
have the Achilles Heel facts facts. I have facts. So
I want you to hear this, and I want you
to understand that she gets this so wrong as to

(26:57):
make it hilarious. This is cut number four. AOC is
worried about the climate, worried about the climate change, worried
about the poisoning of the rivers and all that sort
of stuff. Let's hear from her on cut number four.

Speaker 12 (27:12):
Please, rivers in rural areas were on fire because of
corporations poisoning the people who lived in those areas, poor
middle class communities getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations
like Deloitte and three M pouring chemicals into these places
and they want to call it a democratic priority.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Wait a minute, Deloitte, Deloitte lit the rivers on fire.
I'm just going to let that lay there. First person
that got that, first person that wants to explain it,
you can actually do it. Because I didn't know that
Deloitte was in the business of arson or any of that.

(27:54):
I thought Deloitt was a totally different operation. But no, aoc.
They grow up so fast, They grow so fast. Before
you know it, they grow so fast, and they start
spitting all kinds of different sort of facts that aren't
even factual. I'll save you the trouble. Deloitte, they're like

(28:15):
a CPA firm. They didn't light fires. They didn't light
the fire. It's been always burning. No wrong. Straight ahead,
I'm gonna let you hear some of the best analysis
you will all day. It's a pleasure to be here

(28:48):
with you breaking down all the big stories of the day.
I want to start with something that I think is
important as it relates to the context of the moment
that we're living in. And let's make no miss about this.
I would call this the party, the platforms and the protesters.
So let me take you back to nineteen ninety two.

(29:10):
Bill Clinton stood at the helm of the Democratic Party
that had just reinvented itself. Gone were the blue collar
populists of the rust belt. In their place, we saw
a new jack coming aboard, a new breed of globalists, technocrats,

(29:30):
and market minded liberals. Clinton did not just shake hands
with Wall Street. He opened the gates to Beijing. He
championed NAFTA, deregulated finance, and welcomed the Chinese Communist Party

(29:52):
into the World Trade Organization. It was the dawn of
neo liberalism, and the Democratic Party Party was its vessel.
But that was just the beginning. As the tech boom exploded,
Silicon Valley became the new donor class, Google, Facebook, Apple,

(30:16):
These weren't just companies. What these were were cultural engines,
and they aligned with the Democrats not because of taxes
or trade, but because of values open borders, climate action,

(30:36):
social liberalism. The Party, once rooted in the labor halls
and the church basements, now took its cues from the
boardrooms in Palo Alto. Then came the backlash. Two thousand
and eight crash shattered that illusion. Occupy Wall Street, Bernie

(31:01):
Sanders aoc.

Speaker 8 (31:05):
Sorows.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Suddenly the streets were louder than the suits. The progressive
laught surged forward, demanding reparations, redistribution, and revolution, and the Party,
desperate to hold its coalition together, bent the knee. They

(31:30):
took the knee before Kaepernick took the knee. Identity politics
replaced class politics. The activist base took the wheel. And
now now we see the consequences on the campuses of

(31:51):
our elite universities Harvard, Columbia, UCLA. We're witnessing a new
wave of intellectual radicalism. Not just anti Zionism, not just
criticism of Israeli policy, but open hostility to Jewish students.

(32:14):
Jewish kids barred from the classrooms, professors glorifying harmas encampments,
flying terrorist flags, where tearing down posters of kidnapped children.
Where is the democratic leadership? Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking

(32:38):
Jewish elected official in America, gave a speech. He condemned
the quote lawlessness. He said anti Semitism was unacceptable, but
behind closed doors, reports say he told the Columbia President

(32:58):
keep their heads down, that the backlash was just a
Republican problem. That's not leadership, that's appeasement. The Democratic Party
has been captured not just by big Tex money, but
in ideology that sees the West as irredeemable, Israel as colonial,

(33:25):
and Jews as privileged. It's coalition held together by fear,
not principle, and the cost is being paid by students
afraid to walk to class wearing a star of David.
This isn't just a political shift, This is a moral unraveling.

(33:49):
And now, in the shadow of shutdowns and encampments, we
see a new banner rising, the No King's Movement, a
rejection of hierarchy, of order, of tradition. It's not just
anti Israel, it's anti civilization. These protesters don't want reform,

(34:14):
they want rupture. They don't want compromise, they want collapse.
Mom Dami is the logical next link in the chain.
And until this movement leaves Washington, until the Left exits

(34:38):
the stage and the grownups return to the room, this
shutdown will endure. Not because of budget fights or procedural gridlock,
but because the very idea of normal business is now
seen as oppression. This is the moment not for silence,

(34:59):
not for nuance, but for clarity. The Democratic Party must
choose the mob or the republic, the donors or the citizens,
the slogans or the truth. Because America is watching and
history is listening. So which side are you on? Are

(35:25):
you willing to bend your knee to the oligarchs? Not
the oligarchs like Bernie Sanders talks about, but the overlords
and the oligarchs who intend to remake the United States
of America once again in the in the approach of

(35:47):
limiting your energy, limiting your food, limiting every possibility and
less of course, you have come into the country illegally. Okay,

(36:14):
I have a question for you. When's the last time
you won one point four million dollars playing blackjack? When's
the last time you did that? Seriously? Seven h four five,
seven h eleven ten, What if I told you this
is absolutely true, This is not made up. I'm not
faking this. I'm being straight as as an arrow. Okay.

(36:38):
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker won one point four million dollars
gambling last year on his tax filings. I mean he
wasn't He wasn't gambling on his tax filings. He was gambling.
He won one point four million dollars last year, according

(36:59):
to his tax filings. That's gotta be kind of nice, right,
isn't that nice? That's very nice. You know what I'm
gonna predict right now, at the end of this year,
which is coming up very quickly, He'll he'll win the
Illinois lottery. I'll be hit the lottery. I hit the one.
I won the Illinois lottery. Well, who could have guessed

(37:22):
another twelve mill That's so great, that's awesome. I love it.
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker won more than one point four
million dollars from gambling. This is over at CNBC. If
you don't believe me, you can go look it up.
It's right there at top of the top of the page.
I was incredibly lucky, Pritzker said at a press conference. Well,
of course, it's easy to be incredibly lucky when you

(37:45):
have billions of dollars. See, everybody hates Donald Trump because
he's got billions of dollars. But JB. Pritzker's got billions
of dollars. And by the way, he says, the billionaire
democrat reportedly won the money playing blackjack in Las Vegas,
and he plans to donate it to charity like who

(38:08):
he's considered to be a contender for the presidential race
in twenty twenty eight. Oh I can see wait, hold on,
I'm looking outside right now. I see three people queued up.
None of them are gonna vote for him. Sorry, I
can just tell none of them are gonna do this.

(38:29):
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker won one point four million dollars
from gambling on cards during during a single trip. Made
one point four mil in a single trip, just flew

(38:49):
out to Vegas with his wife and friends. I was
incredibly lucky, Pritsker said at a press conference the day
after his gubernatorial campaign released federal income tax returns that
detailed his gambling earnings. I love all my gambling earnings.

(39:10):
I keep all my gambling earnings in a glass jar
in the kitchen. That's where I keep all of my
millions of dollars of gambling stuff. That's gotta be nice.
Pritzker a billionaire. I thought we were not supposed to
have any billionaires. When did that? When did that change?
Now we have billionaires. I thought being a billionaire is

(39:33):
like evil. That's true. Soros is not evil. The Soros
is you know, he's going to be sainted at some point.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Pritzker, a billionaire who's considered for the possible candidate for
the White House in twenty twenty eight, did not say
what game he won at. Wow.

Speaker 13 (39:51):
Really, really, that's an easy way to just slip some
money to somebody that you want to get a favor
and you go, ah, I'm not going to tell you
which table I played.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
How do we know? How do we know? Nobody in Illinois.
Let me just say this, Illinois is notoriously, notoriously absolutely
incredibly squeaky clean, very clean, very clean. Nobody breaks the rules.

(40:24):
That's why, you know, That's why al Capone had to
relocate to California, because it was just there was nothing
going on in Illinois. But his campaign told NBC News
NBC News that he won the money from playing blackjack.

(40:46):
Campaign aide told NBC that Pritzker plans to donate the
winnings to who to his wife. No. Pritzker and his
wife reportedly earned ten point seven million in total income
in twenty twenty four, according to the federal state tax
filings that he campaigned. The campaign shared this out. So

(41:10):
what that's just so fortuitous. I mean, I wish I
wish him all the best. I think it's phenomenal. You see,
It's it's amazing you start off rich and you end
up richer. You just start off rich and then you
end up richer. I mean, it's just this is it,
you know. I mean, I'm just I'm looking at this.
I mean, it's just like it's it's a crazy sort

(41:30):
of a thing, you know. I mean, we're looking at
all this kind of stuff out there. I'm aware of
the essay by the disruptor in chief gets transformational results
at home and abroad, and that is Niall Ferguson with
a very very interesting commentary in that regard. Somebody flagged
that to me. What else do we get here? Okay,

(41:53):
now I got cynical people, now, Mark from Concord, he's
kind of cynical here, a little bit of cynicism. I
bet the one point four mil was a way to
launder dirty money. No, there's no indication that he was.
He's a really rich guy. He can he can lay
a whole lot of bets. He can lose a lot,
and he can win a lot, you know what I mean.

(42:13):
That's it. Somebody a Danny is now Danny is very
cynical on this gambling and casinos is one of the
best ways to launder money. No, he already told you
he's the he's the governor of Illinois. And the fact
of the matter is he is a billionaire. You cannot
take that away from him. He is actually a billionaire.

(42:34):
So if you think about the spectrum that you're looking at, right,
So one hundred bucks for you or me, right, and you,
let's say you earned back fourteen bucks, okay, because like
this is one point four million dollars that he won.
So it's like, okay, so I got a hundred bucks,

(42:55):
here's four I won fourteen dollars. Now just go up
the skin and you can see where he could get
one point four million dollars. Right, He's probably laying bigger
and bigger bets to try to get that kind of thing. Okay,
miss mister X, mister X, I'm not gonna say who

(43:15):
it is, mister X. If you were a billionaire, mister X,
what would be the heaviest the heaviest drop you'd put
on one bet if you had, if you had, if
you're a billionaire, what would you do thousand dollars per bet?

Speaker 4 (43:36):
WHOA See?

Speaker 1 (43:38):
That gets me nervous. I don't. I guess I'm not
like one of those. It's too rich for my blood.
So like me as mister why you're mister X, I'm
mister why this The thing with this is the problem
is that man, you burn, You burn a thousand dollars
on a bet and you see them scoop it back
up and you go ooh that hurt. That hurt. Now,

(44:02):
if you're a billionaire, I think you could probably a billionaire,
you could probably go for Oh here's okay, and mister
Z is here. Now we have mister X, mister Y,
mister Z. Okay, mister Z. You're a billionaire like him. Okay,
you're a billionaire like him. What's the biggest bet you

(44:23):
lay on blackjack?

Speaker 14 (44:26):
Remember you're a billionaire, I don't know, probably probably a
couple grande ten grand gosh.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
You like you're not even throwing in like a hundred K,
one hundred k or something like that.

Speaker 14 (44:38):
Yeah, because at this point you're just gambling for fun.
You don't need this money.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Give it to charity, he said, he's gonna go to charity. Okay,
it's gonna go to the anti fund charity. I don't
know it's going no it's not, it's not. I shouldn't say.
I'll say that no billionaires were harmed in the making
of this riff. I'll throw it open to you. You're

(45:03):
a billionaire, You're just like JB. Pritzker, but you're better looking.
And here's the question for you, ladies and gentlemen. What's
the top number you're dropping on a bet. I'm just curious.
I'm just kidding. We're not doing it.

Speaker 15 (45:14):
We're just buying mine in our own business.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Make up your mind this time with News Talk eleven ten,
nine nine three WBT. All right, so I've got a
couple of different big stories that are moving right now.
So right now, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,
is taking questions from the reporters who are assembled there
at the White House. We know that he's going to

(45:50):
be going over to Budapest to meet with Putin in
the very near future. They're also talking about fertility drugs
and and and things like this that are going to
get reduced costs, uh for for medical conditions and and
all this sort of stuff. On another channel on CNN,

(46:12):
h sources are now reporting that former Trump National security
advisor John Bolton has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
This thing just came up in the in the in
the last few minutes. We were expecting this was going
to come out. But what what apparently the violation is
from earlier reporting is that he John Bolton shared classified

(46:39):
material with his wife and with his daughter via email.
So we don't know anything else. I haven't seen. I
haven't seen the the the warrant or the stuff that
needs to come in on this. But this is another
big story that's happening. So you've got Trump talking, You've

(46:59):
got a former advisor for Trump, national security advisor for Trump,
who has now been indicted as well. We also know
that there's action. We don't know what it looks like,
but we also know that there is action starting to
ramp up with Venezuela, which you heard me talking yesterday

(47:21):
with Gordon Chang about that very thing. So all of
these things are moving all in real time. The President
of the United States has supposedly said that the CIA
is getting involved in Venezuela. My guess is they've been
involved at a period of time for a while. Let's
jump out and talk to Carl next. Carl, welcome to

(47:42):
the program. What's on your mind.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
How you doing today, Brett, I'm doing well.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Thanks for calling.

Speaker 7 (47:46):
This is my first time talking to you. But I
won tickets to the News and Bruce, so I'm gonna
be able to meet you in person in a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Awesome. Yeah, definitely come over and say hi, Carl. I'm
looking forward to that. That's great, man.

Speaker 7 (47:58):
I sure will a lot of stuff going on, but
get to the gambling story real quick.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
Sure you know those.

Speaker 7 (48:03):
Guys that have a billion, Like you said, if I
went one hundred bucks, that's a thrill for me, or
five hundred right if if you know Michael Jordan, that
doesn't thrill him. He wants to win fifty thousand on
one hand of cards. You know what I'm saying, right right,
It's all relative. There was a rumor long a while
ago about it's probably fifteen twenty years ago that one

(48:25):
of these golfers, his nickname is Lefty, he ran up
about a four hundred thousand dollars gambling that a guy
told me who kind of was in the inner circle
at the golf tournament Wow and said that a sponsor
of has paid it off to get him out of it.
But I don't know what kind of money you know
Phil had. But yeah, there's people to bet ten twenty
thirty thousand on a football game.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
You know that's true.

Speaker 7 (48:48):
Ten thousand a hand for him is nothing. You know.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
I'm just gonna tell you this. I would have heart palpitations.
And you know, I understand there's the thrill of it,
but holy cow, I would have palpitations with the Hallard
me too.

Speaker 7 (49:02):
I cry when I lose twenty dollars on a scratch
off for thirty and about eighty eight years ago, I
won fifty thousand. Now he's on a stretch off. He's
gonna he can claim. He has to do it. I mean,
they're gonna give him a ten ninety nine at the casino.
But I guarantee you that's not the first time he
was there, because you don't that's off beginner's luck on blackjack.

(49:23):
I assume he's playing five thousand a hand, ten thousand
a hand, something like that, yep, and then doubling down.
But real quick, you can claim your federal You can
claim only on your federal. Now, I don't know about
other states, and some states don't have income tax. So
I took on thirty five thousand. But I had my
accountant right off Gammon losses only up to the amount

(49:43):
that you won. So for instance, if he won one
point two million that year, he can't he can claim
two million in losses. But they're only going to give
him back part of his tax money, as far as
I know, Federal, And of course a guy like that
has a CPA, that's mine's good. But this guy, you know,
you get a tax pro for that.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Oh look, I I would only wish and hope that
I could have access to those kinds of people.

Speaker 7 (50:09):
And a lot of people get in trouble, man, A
lot of people get in trouble. They enjoy the.

Speaker 8 (50:13):
Show, all right.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
I can't wait to meet you, man, Thanks so much. Carl.

Speaker 7 (50:15):
You can see you in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
You gotta, buddy, Carl, Carl's gonna be there. How about that?
Maybe you're gonna be there? Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna be there with us hanging out? Did
you already buy your tickets? Are you getting all psyched
up to get together to do all kinds of things?
Somebody somebody asked me, somebody asked me, what is your

(50:39):
stick gonna be at this next one? Because I I
once in a while, I will, I'll spice it up
a little bit. I will spice it up. Not as
spicy as baby back rips, but I will. I will.
I will spice it. I will spice it up as
much as I as I possibly can. Okay, so sources
Former Trump A national security advisor John Bolton has been

(51:03):
indicted by a federal grand jury. I do not know
what grand jury they are doing this. I don't know
where this is coming from. So I'm gonna have to
do some research in the In the interim, we're gonna
have a honest to goodness great person joining us coming
up here shortly, and I'm gonna tell you something. And

(51:25):
this is somebody who has has done really incredible things,
a a very very brave person who wants to see
the country be strong. We're gonna have a conversation with her.
She's a former helicopter pilot in the in the Army,

(51:45):
and I'm very curious to get her perspective when we
look at the issues involving obviously Hamas and all the
stuff that's going on there as well. Very curious to
see what it is she's thinking and what it is
that we can expect moving down the road News Talk

(52:20):
eleven ten, not a nine to three WBT Brett Winterble
Show seven O four five seven zero eleven ten. Lots
of stuff happening, so the President, if you're just joining us.
President announced a meeting with Putin in Budapest after a
phone call between the two leaders goes like this. President
Donald Trump announced Thursday that he and Russian President Vladimir

(52:42):
Putin have agreed to meet in Budapest on an unspecified
date following a meeting between their top advisors next week.
Trump took to truth Social shortly after one pm Eastern
Time to share the details of a very productive and
lengthy phone call he had with Vladimir Putin as the

(53:02):
effort to end the Russia Ukraine War on the heels
of striking generational peace in the Middle East, he said,
I have concluded my telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin of Russia,
and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated
me and the United States on the great accomplishment of

(53:25):
peace in the Middle East, something that he said he
has dreamt of, that has been dreamt of for centuries.
I actually believe that the success with the Middle East
will help our negotiation in attaining the end of the
war with Ukraine and Russia. President Putin thanked the First

(53:50):
Lady Milania for her involvement with children and was very
appreciative about that as well. We also know, oh, we
also know that there was that back and forth. It
took place, and in some ways, I do think if
you get the Middle East to calm down a little bit,
you're gonna see maybe a better approach to dealing with

(54:16):
the challenges that are out there. Right, So there's gonna
be that's a that's a theater that does not necessarily
have to overblow. Tomorrow, we're expecting uh Zelensky to come
to the President to visit with the President.

Speaker 8 (54:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
The issue of Tomahawk missiles has come up. That may
be part of the reason why Vladimir Putin and President
Trump want to to get together and have a conversation
because those Tomahawk missiles are very, very effective, and looking
at those Tomawk missiles, you know, you just got to
kind of figure out how this is all gonna go.

(54:51):
And so that that's that's look, if people are not
shooting at each other, like that's a positive thing. That's
a positive development. And you know, there's a there's a
whole lot of missing uh uh people who have lost
their lives in all of this carnage, and it's it's
a it's a very very sad reality that we're dealing

(55:13):
with here. And so you know, as as we look
at as we look at all of this and as
we try to make sense of all of this, you know,
there's a number of challenges that we're gonna have to
deal with and and we're gonna need to, uh uh
to do that. And you know, this, this is this
is really what we've uh what we've got to you know,

(55:34):
to have happened. You know, as as as we sit here,
as we sit here and as we break all this
stuff down, you know, it's it's one of the things
that that we've got to to stay focused on. And
you know, let me tell you, there are just tremendous
talented people who have served our country so well. And

(55:57):
one of these one of these patriots is Amber, a
deputy assistant to the Secretary of Defense Trump forty five.
She's a female helicopter pilot who piloted in Iraq, and
she's also an Afghan veteran and she's joining us now.
Thanks so much, Amber for your service and for joining

(56:19):
us here on the program today.

Speaker 16 (56:22):
Thank you for having me. It's great to be with you.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Curious to ask you, what are your feelings about what
we've seen with this Israel hamas deal broker by the
president pushing for peace. Can you give us a little
insight into how you're thinking about this.

Speaker 16 (56:41):
So I view it as incredible, unprecedented. I think that
it clearly demonstrates what we have heard this administration talk
about since day one, which is peace through strength. Our
adversaries around the globe listen when President Trump talks, and
I think that that's sort of knowledge of the President's

(57:05):
leadership is what brought a lot of this to the
table and allowed this to happen. And just like we
heard Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio say at the Cabinet
meeting last week that everyone, every American should be incredibly
proud of our president for not only prioritizing this, but

(57:25):
the follow through and ensuring that it's happening and getting
all the rest of the twenty hostages home. So I'm
very grateful for his leadership and what he was able
to accomplish.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
It really is incredible when you think back to the
Abraham Accords, the original the original Abraham Accords, and you
have to build all that good will back into this
and I think there's probably nobody who could possibly have
pulled this thing together the way he did by having
all those relationships. Talk a little bit about the notion

(57:57):
of these relationships that he's got all around that region.

Speaker 16 (58:01):
Well, I think I do think that his relationship from
his previous term mattered, right just as you mentioned the
relationships that were developed from the Abraham Accords, and people
saw President Trump and how he is as a businessman
and how he knows how to negotiate and come up

(58:23):
with a deal, and you know, foreign policy is no different.
Those skills that are necessary in the business world are
absolutely necessary in the leadership world, as we have seen
this past week and and obviously more you know, longer
behind the scenes, just what we have seen in this

(58:44):
past week. So I think the relationships moving forward are
going to be useful as well. But I think that
President Trump has continued to stay strong and he has
said that hamav needs to disarm. What we're seeing inside
also right now is not part of the deal, and
they basically need to play by the rules like this,

(59:07):
he's not messing around and he shouldn't yea. They shouldn't
be waiting to find.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
Out if he is or not visiting with Amber Smith,
a fighter pilot, a person who is a helicopter pilot.
Very important stuff going on, and we have to come to, obviously,
the difficulties here in the United States, which is the shutdown?
What is happening here and what does this impact look
like for troops. You're you're an Iraq and Afghan veteran.

(59:37):
What are your thoughts in this moment, especially for those
who are who are doing the really tough work protecting
the country.

Speaker 16 (59:46):
Well, the Democrats are playing politics with the livelihoods of
our American military. You know, a lot of when you
serve in the military, you don't have some massive paycheck.
A lot of our troops are living paycheck to paycheck.
Some of them are living below the poverty line. Some
of them are on some type of government food assistance,

(01:00:08):
believe it or not, and so they rely on their
paycheck every two weeks. And so the fact that the
Democrats are like that this is not a care to
them just shows you how that's not a priority to them.
They do not care if our troops are not going
to get paid or not. So thankfully the Trump administration

(01:00:32):
was able to you know, through the first two weeks
and sure their payments went through by moving around money
within the budget. But you know they're going to get
by the end of the month. If they have not
solved this, our troops are going to go without pay again.
And it's a disgrace that the Democrats are playing politics

(01:00:54):
and requiring our troops to to have to operate like this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
It is it is shocking, and it is it is
so unnecessary. Obviously, they were on a great, a great
plan to get all of this stuff funded that needed
to get funded, and at the last moment, here comes
Chuck Schumer pulling the pulling the plug. Amber Smith, we
really appreciate you being on the show with us today
and sharing with us your your thoughts on this. We

(01:01:21):
we would love to catch up with you again down
the road, and thank you so much for spending time
with us. Absolutely no you as well, Absolutely thank you
for your service. I mean, this is this is this
is somebody with the perspective of what it is that
she saw. She's there in combat, she's she's doing the
hard work that needs to be done. And there are

(01:01:42):
men and women who are feeling uncertain because Chuck Schumer,
Hakeem Jefferies, and well, dare I say it? There should
be no more Kings inside the Beltway Neo's Talk eleven,

(01:02:20):
ten ninety nine, three WVT. It's the Brett Winterble Show
still in shutdown mode. I know it's because the No
Kings rally is going to be happening coming up this weekend.
And do I want to start with this particular thing.
And I'm calling this no Kings, no crowns, no clarity.
So let me take you to a moment that's unfolding

(01:02:42):
right now across campuses, city squares, the halls of power.
It's loud, it's angry, it's organized, and it's called the
No Kings movement. Now, on the surface, it sounds noble,
No Kings, a rejection of tyranny, a callback to seventeen six.
But peel back the slogans and you're going to find

(01:03:03):
something more complex, far more dangerous. This movement didn't start
in a vacuum. It was born in the shadow of
Donald Trump's second term, triggered by his proposed one hundred
million dollar military parade on Flag Day. That's what started

(01:03:24):
all of this. But the reality is the hatred and
the anger has gone much further than anybody could have expected,
because who in their right mind could say that a
military parade should be something that is an American Yes,

(01:03:49):
it happened on his birthday? Whooped he do? That parade
was meant to be a show of strength, celebration of
American might. So the organizers of No Kings, it was
a coronation, it was a threat. It was a symbol
of creeping authoritarianism. I'm amazed because you hear from the

(01:04:11):
left a lot like this is authoritarian. It's on the
brink of authoritarian We had it just yesterday. When I
let you hear from Chris Murphy, he doesn't even know
what stage of authoritarianism we're living under. So they mobilized
really fast. The five oh five oh one coalition fifty states,
fifty protests, one movement patterned with Indivisible, a progressive network

(01:04:38):
that's been building since Trump's first election, and on No
King's Day, they delivered one of the largest single day
protest actions in modern history, with over five million people,
more than two thousand events coast to coast, five million
people out of what are we looking at here? Three

(01:04:59):
hundred and fifty million people in total. But here's the question,
who's behind it, who's funding it? What do they really want?
Let's start with the money. The lead organizing group, Indivisible,
has received over eight million dollars from George Soros's Open
Society Foundation. That's not speculation, it's documented. Soros has long

(01:05:24):
backed progressive causes, but this one's different. This is not
about policy, it's about power. It's about dismantling the very
architecture of American governance. Then there's Christy Walton Walmart heiress
and one of the richest women in the world. She's

(01:05:45):
bankrolling the five ZHO five OHO one coalition, the engine
behind the no kings, full page ads in major newspapers,
coordinated media blitzes, and all under the banner of grassroots resistance.
Don't forget serge A Brinn. Sergey Brynn of Googly, his

(01:06:06):
nonprofit Fund for a Better Future, is quietly backing Indivisible
and related protests infrastructure. That's silly, Coon Valley money, big
money fueling a movement that claims to be anti elite.
So what's the goal. They say that it's about democracy,

(01:06:29):
about resisting authoritarianism, but the rhetoric tells a different story.
No thrones, no crowns, no kings. That's not just anti Trump,
that's anti structure, that's anti order, that's anti tradition. And

(01:06:50):
the protests, well, they've gone far before. Peaceful marches in
Salt Lake City and No King's protests turned deadly in Virginia,
a driver plowed through a crowd. In Los Angeles, encampments
blocked traffic and clashed with police. And on elite campuses

(01:07:11):
Harvard Columbia UCLA, Jewish students are barred from classrooms. As
I mentioned, posters of kidnapped kids torn down hamas flags
were flown, and the movement said nothing. Chuck Schumer loves this.
Chuck Schumer is about this because he's trying to march

(01:07:35):
in front of an oncoming train called Mandami and of
course AOC. Now the No Kings movement is evolving. It's
not just about Trump. It's about revolution. It's about tearing
down systems. It's about rejecting capitalism, nationalism, even the constitution itself.

(01:07:57):
Some organizers have called for dec holonizing America others demand
the abolition of ICE, the defunding of the police, the
dismantling of the Senate. Yes, the Senate, because to them,
every institution is a relic of oppression. And here's the kicker,

(01:08:18):
some of the funding maybe coming from abroad. Representative Anna
Paulina Luna has raised alarms about Neville Singham, a US
activist with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. She claims
Singham helped fund the No King's protests and related and

(01:08:41):
related unrest in Los Angeles. If true, it's not just controversial.
That might be subversive, but let's go with innocent, ial,
proven guilty. So let's be clear. This isn't just a
protest movement. It's a pressure campaign, it's a media spectacle.
It's a donor driven insurgency aimed at reshaping the American narrative,

(01:09:03):
and it's working. Mainstream democrats are afraid to speak out,
University presidents are paralyzed, and the media, well, they're too
busy chasing clicks and asking hard questions. But we must
ask them. Who decides what democracy looks like? Who gets
to define tyranny? And when a movement funded by billionaires

(01:09:26):
starts calling for the collapse of institutions. Who's really in
charge here? Because the No Kings movement isn't just rejecting Trump,
it's rejecting America as we know it. And until the
left leaves Washington, until the activists pack up their encampments
and the donors stop writing checks, this shut down, the paralysis,

(01:09:49):
and the chaos is going to endure. Not because of
budget fights, not because of gridlock, but because of the
very idea of normal business is now seen as oppressive.
This is the moment not for silence, not for slogan's
but clarity. The Republic stands on the edge, and the

(01:10:15):
question isn't whether will have kings, it's whether we'll have
a country. Let's talk News Talk eleven ten on three

(01:10:39):
WBT Brett water Bull Show. Good to be with you.
Let's see what we got here. I got, I got,
I got people commenting. Let's see what some of the
people are. Okay, oh, you got me at enter Sandman,
because you came in with the under Sandman, Jesus before Pilot.
This is a pat Then the whole company of them

(01:11:04):
arose and brought him before Pilot and they began to
accuse him, saying we found this man misleading our nation
and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar and saying
that he himself is Christ a king. And Pilot asked him,

(01:11:25):
are you the king of the Jews? And he answered him,
you have said so. Then Pilot said to the chief
priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.
So that is one that has come out just here
in the last couple of moments. I'm sorry I don't
have a name on this attached to this. Otherwise I

(01:11:45):
would give credit where credit is due. Let's see what
else we have here. Okay, this is Jack Jake. Jake
is saying I love your show. I served in I
served as a unit. I did States Marine and Fallujah,
Iraq in two thousand and three, four and five, and

(01:12:06):
I just love all you do on your show for
our country because with your fifty thousand watts, you have
a lot of influence on US Americans who need to
know the real truth. Thank you and keep it up, please,
d That's very kind of you, Jake. I do appreciate
that very very much, and I appreciate your service in
defending this great country. We still have a lot of

(01:12:28):
great things happening here as well. This is somebody who
doesn't have a name attached to it. Chapel Hill was
trying to take Saudi money for football that shouldn't be
allowed at state schools. It disgusts me. Let's see who
do we have here? This is Mark says. Y'all can

(01:12:54):
call me Mark from Concord. If that works on your end,
it does work on my end. Thank you very very
much about that. People forget that the five that the
five five one security killed a bystander in Utah on
the last No King's Day. I forgot about that. I
gotta go back and research that. What else have we got?

(01:13:17):
Schumer's acting like a king? So we should start throwing
his mug up on us on social media? Yeah, I
guess everybody knows what Chuck Schumer's about. I mean, Chuck
Schumer is trying to be the guy, right, I mean,
he's just trying to be the guy. And he sees
AOC and he sees Bernie Sanders. They're not the peeps,

(01:13:39):
stan Stan says. The people pushing the No Kings movement
haven't just rejected capitalism, liberty for citizens, law and order,
and our country's history and values they've rejected. God. If
you have no entity whatsoever, you're subject to And each

(01:13:59):
indo visual is allowed to live with their own self
centered desires guiding them regardless of who it hurts. And
that's about as evil as it gets. Okay, but but
I'm gonna I'm gonna stand in the breach for a
quick second here. Okay. First of all, the best thing

(01:14:20):
you can do if you if you want to persuade somebody,
We don't win people over by beating them over the
head or yelling at them or berating them or any
of that sort of stuff. The best way, the best
way that you can actually affect change is to talk

(01:14:40):
to people and just be nice. You don't have to
be like a salesman. Salesmen are wonderful. I love my salespeople.
Uh they're they're wonderful and they have the ability to persuade.
And the best sort of persuasion that exists is the
persuasion that you come to your own concl collusion with. Like,

(01:15:01):
you don't just go up on somebody and say you
need to believe this, and if you don't believe this,
this mob is gonna beat you up. No, you just talk,
you ask questions, really very much in the vein of
what Charlie Kirk did. Right, ask questions and then put
the mic down and let the people talk to you.
You will be amazed. If you stop talking, right, if

(01:15:24):
I stop talking, If you stop talking, and we're talking
to somebody that we're trying to persuade, you will find
the pathway to their heart or to their mind. You will,
because people want to be heard, and a lot of
times once you just let them talk, they will talk
themselves into realizing, hey, this might not be the right answer.

(01:15:47):
This person might be the right answer. Nobody ever, ever,
ever stuck with something. If you beat them over the
head doesn't work. You need to show love, but not
in that way.

Speaker 17 (01:16:22):
Science News Talk eleven WBT Isaac reaching deep deep into
that uh bit of audio.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
It's great to be with you. Sevenh four five seven
eleven ten. Okay, So we have a problem. We have
a problem, and it's a problem that's going to affect
everybody in the entire country. It's not like something the
world's gonna end or anything like that. But this is
really something that we have got to pay close attention to.
Do you guys know this person named Gavin Newsom. Anybody

(01:16:57):
know who Gavin Newsom is. He seems to be the
next man up for wanting to be a you know,
wanting to be the guy who's going to be the guy.

Speaker 7 (01:17:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
So, US Transportation secretary is withholding forty million dollars from
California for ignoring English proficiency rules for truckers. So in California,

(01:17:27):
Democrat controlled California will be held accountable for refusing to
enforce English language proficiency requirements for truck drivers, a position
that has yielded deadly results as we all know, according
to the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Duffy said Wednesday that

(01:17:51):
President Trump's administration is planning to withhold forty million dollars
from the state of California because they can't get their
priority straight. They're allowing illegals to drive. They're allowing illegals
who don't know how to speak English or read English
to drive. So he announced, I am withholding forty million

(01:18:14):
dollars in funding for California because they can't get their
priority straight. The Golden State thinks it's okay to ignore
US dot English language requirements for truckers. You can play
all the games you want, but not at the expense
of American lives. The article highlighted the recent case of

(01:18:36):
an illegal alien trucker identified as hard Gender Sing, who
is accused of killing three Americans after making an illegal
U turn in Florida. California had issued the driver a
commercial license, but these English rules predate the crash. Duffy said.

(01:19:02):
California is the only state that refuses to make sure
truckers can read road signs and communicate with police officers.
Gavin Newsom says that that's okay. I mean, somebody needs
to go to the state House, put the bracelets on

(01:19:25):
his hands and bring him before a magistrate, bring him
before a federal judge. Because does Gavin Newsom not know,
you know what, he knows exactly what he's doing. Okay,
he knows exactly what he's doing. He wants to hire
cut rate truck drivers who don't speak English, and that's

(01:19:46):
gonna maybe save a couple of bucks. Somebody's calling him
up and saying, hey, man, don't be too hard on
these people. We need to be able to truck our
stuff around and all that. Fine, But unfortunately, unless you're
gonna put a shock callar on a guy who's driving
that truck. And here's why I say it that way.

(01:20:07):
He can drive into Arizona, he can drive into Utah,
he can drive into Nevada, he can drive into Oregon.
He can drive into Arizona, New Mexico. He can drive
into Charlotte. He can drive into any of these places.
And he doesn't know how to speak the language, doesn't
know how to read the road signs, and it's not
even mandated. Why is I'm dead serious about this. Why

(01:20:31):
is it that Gavin Newsom gets to fly out the
law this way? If it's a dot. We have truck
drivers that are listening right now. If it's a dot,
order that you have to be able to speak English,
and you have to be able to read road signs.
What I would call like at a bare minimum, like

(01:20:55):
the barest of bare minimum. Really, I'm telling you they
need to go. I hope, I hope that that that
Duffy is going to go and convene. I'm telling you,
I'm serious about this. I want I want him to
convene a grand jury and take take him in, take

(01:21:17):
him into custody, Take Gavin Newsom into custody. I would
love to watch that happen. I'd love to see it
because you know, and I know you want to know
who who is?

Speaker 7 (01:21:28):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:21:28):
Who's next? Man up? Ain't gonna be Gavin Newsom. I'll
tell you that right now, No way, no how, Gavin
Newsom's a nightmare. And if he ever became the president
of the United States. Katie bar the door. I said
her name? Why did I say her name?

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Katie?

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
Katie Porter, Katie Porter. She yells at the people, Katie.
Oh my gosh, I invoke the name Katie Porter. Why
did I do that? That's not right, that's not right.
I gotta go home tonight, and I gotta I gotta
scrub my head with potatoes. It's gonna what are you
laughing at? You didn't know that I scrubbed my head

(01:22:10):
with potatoes. You gotta be warm. It's gotta be warm,
very very warm. No, not hot. Hot is not right.
A Gavin Newsom. I just really can't believe he's doing this.
I mean, and you know who it's gonna with all
this kind of stuff that goes on on the roads,

(01:22:30):
and like I was saying, the people that are really
having a tough time are the people that have to
drive on these roads. And the roads are very dangerous.
And if you can't read or write, or arithmetic or
do any of that kind of stuff, that's a real problem.
That's a huge problem. Dudes. Talk eleven ten, nine to

(01:22:55):
three WBT Brett Waterbow Show. It's good to be with you.
Let's jump out. Then talk to Bussy. Bussy, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Hey, how are you doing today?

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
I'm doing great. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 16 (01:23:08):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
I was listening to what you said about the the CDLs,
robbers and everything. My son lives in Greenville, South Carolina,
and he drives a highway back and forth to work
constantly every day. Okay, that is my biggest fear, absolute
biggest fear with these robbers on the highway. Wow, is

(01:23:29):
that he's gonna have an accent or they're gonna have
an accident. And he's always like, no, Mom is fine,
don't worry about it. But I'm always telling him one day,
it's not gonna be fine. You have to be watching
your sixth constantly. And he does, yes, but it is
my biggest fearit as a parent now because of what
Gavin Newscomb is doing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Yeah, it's great, it's great. He did for whatever reason,
and I gotta believe it's got to be money. That
he is good money. That yeah, and so it's that
this is the problem because nobody, I mean, my gosh,
if they pull somebody over and they're they're they're they're
driving off of a California thing, I wonder if the
jurisdictions are gonna, you know, start stopping them up a

(01:24:10):
little bit here. This is this is terrible. And uh,
he's the only guy in the time.

Speaker 5 (01:24:15):
A report that just came out that had where all
of the CDLs were blank. Yes, and I cannot remember
what reporter. I want to say it was Sarah Fields,
but I could be wrong. Don't quote me on that. No, no, no,
it was the reporter had come out and said it
was all of the CDO were kind of blank and
they were just cycling the CDO numbers.

Speaker 4 (01:24:37):
Yeah, I think the drivers.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Yes, I've heard that too. I have I've heard that too.
And and uh, well, God, God bless your son and
and and you, and thank you for checking in with us. Bussy.
We appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (01:24:48):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
You have a good day you too.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
You as well. Absolutely, uh, Russ, welcome to the program.
What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
It's funny how Gavin Newsom doesn't have to deal with
the d O T rule, the IC rules and everything,
but he does want the whole rest of the country
to bow down before the California Air Resources Board.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
Yes he does. Yes, he wants the car ball over
the place. Yes, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:25:11):
He wants carb everywhere. And we are peasant. We're just
lowlife if we don't strangle ourselves to his rules in
that respect.

Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
Okay, now there is a bright spot to this though. Okay,
there's one bright spot with this. This is going to
gin up enough people to start pressuring their local officials
to make Gavin Newsom have these guys tow the line
the way they're supposed to, because he does not. Because
he's in California. That does not make him special, That

(01:25:41):
does not make him anything other than a lousy governor.
And the idea just like, think about it, if they
just stayed in the state of California, who knows how
many accidents are happening in the state of California that
we don't even know about. That's the big problem. That's
the big problem.

Speaker 4 (01:25:57):
And they won't report him either.

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
Heck, no, absolutely not, because they don't want to they
don't want to see Homan show up and start supporting
people who Yeah, great stuff. Russ appreciate the call. Now
let's go over to Robert. Hello, Robert, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
Good afternoon, Brett. You bring it every night, dog.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
I appreciate that very much, my friend, and I appreciate
all your the way you post over on the X.
I think that's pretty cool too.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Yes, sir, well, as I posted a little while ago,
or tweeted, as we used to say, Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
Sir, JB.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
JB is a is in in gambling parlance, is a
is a whale. He's now, by the way, of course,
in that particular case, the term the term whale fits
him just perfectly. Or as Isaac said, call him, call
him baby back ribs. So I still, uh, I still

(01:26:53):
think Brent, that that that JB is not going to
be a main factor in the in the twenty eight
presidential race. But but what do you think, sir?

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
I I think if you, if you, if I had
to put money on on a ticket right now, I
would say, uh, Josh from from uh Pennsylvania, Uh, And
I would say the governor of Maryland, A. Wes Moore.

(01:27:23):
I think that would be probably if I had to,
if I had to, you know, forecast it. That's that's
what I would look for. Or maybe Andy Bisheer, But
he's a wet He's a wet blanket. I mean, I
don't I don't feel anything about about him. And he
said horrible things about Jade Vance's uh wife when he
said that maybe jd Vance needs to have somebody raped

(01:27:47):
in his family. I mean, it's just really horrible stuff
that he said. So I don't think. I don't think.
I don't think JB. Pritzker wants to is going to
clear it. I don't think Gavin Newsom's going to clear it.
I don't think it's any of those people at all.
I think it's going to be a pretty conventional pick.
Or it could be it could be AOC gets the
nod and uh it's AOC and Wes Moore I could

(01:28:08):
see that, or or vice versa.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Well, I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Would have to be Wes Moore in AOC uh for
them to have any chance. I admire some things about AOC.
First of all, her nickname just everyone knows AOC and
that's that's a big thing.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
Yes, it's catchy, it's catchy. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
She has charisma, but I honestly don't think she quite
has the gravitas to be president of the United States.
Now she's still young. She could, she could really really
work hard to really come up on all the issues,
and and so it's possible.

Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
But she's a but she's a Democrat. But she's a
Democrat socialist. I mean, she's in the exact same league
as as as Mundamie. I mean, these and people. We
have to wait and see, because let me tell you something,
Mundami gets into some kind of a problem early on
if he gets elected, uh, and there's a crisis the
world to be calling for for for him to step down.

(01:29:08):
The hardest job in the entire world other than being
the President of the United States is New York City mayor.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
Yes, well, of course, thankfully, mom, Donnie cannot be president triumph.
He's not US born, correct, But yes, uh, governor of
New I mean, pardon me, The mayor of New York
City is a big deal. Rudy Giuliani obviously catapulted his career,
and some others have as well. The one other thing, Brent,

(01:29:37):
that I was going to mention if I had a chance,
regarding tomorrow's Zolensky meeting there at the White House. I
saw just a little while ago where Zolensky had posted
about how he's meeting today with various defense contractors and
energy suppliers, and and he mentioned he mentioned that that

(01:30:00):
is now fluting a little bit because of the talk
about tomahawks.

Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
Yes, but what I would tell.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
What I would tell Zelensky is do not get ahead
of the president or the Vice president or Pete except
about tomahawks until until they have announced it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
I see, it makes me nervous to even disclose like
the weaponry we're gonna give, let them wonder what they're
gonna get, you know what I mean. It's like it's
like we're gonna give you tomahawks. We're gonna give you. Now,
I would be afraid if, like, you know, I'd be
afraid if we were gonna give them nukes or stuff
like that. Like that's that's a dangerous escalation obviously tomahawks,

(01:30:42):
you know. I just I wouldn't say I would want
to be kind of gray about it so that they
don't know what we're giving them. Although that's gonna leak
once it gets on the ground there and you know
that all that kind of stuff is tough. And when
you start looking at this, I mean, who knows. I mean, really,
it's all about having the cards, you know. I mean,
it's what it is. It's all about having the cards.

(01:31:02):
Just like he said, I don't have the cards.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
I mean, we're thinking about cards. I've done a lot
of gambling in Vegas over over decades, and I'll tell
you one thing that is an absolute truth about cards.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
What's that is?

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
It is better to be lucky than good, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Indeed, great way to wrap it up, man, Great timing, Robert,
enjoy your evening, and I can't wait to talk to
you again, my friend. Thanks so much, buddy, Thank you, sir.
You got it. That does it for me. Breaking with
Brett Jensen comes by next. Thanks to Isaac and Lonnie,
Keith and Pam. I'll talk to you again tomorrow News

(01:31:42):
Talk eleven ten n you don't have the cards.
