Global Threats, Space Mysteries, And More 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 Israel’s latest military strategy and the evolving threat landscape at home and abroad. He highlights Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that Israel intends to take full control of Gaza and destroy Hamas as a functioning entity. Brett emphasizes the urgency behind the move, pointing to the remaining hostages and the failure of Hamas to negotiate their release. He also warns listeners to stay alert, referencing growing concerns about potential attacks not just in the Middle East but possibly in American cities and on college campuses.

Later, Brett dives into an intriguing and unconventional topic: a mysterious interstellar object reportedly headed toward our solar system. Referencing the work of Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, Brett explores the possibility that the object—known as “3I Atlas”—may be alien technology rather than just a large comet. Loeb’s analysis highlights the object's unusual size, speed, and precisely timed trajectory, which suggest it may not be of natural origin. According to Loeb, the object will make a close approach to the sun on October 29th, potentially using the sun’s gravity for a maneuver.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:16):
There's Talk eleven ten, not in I've three WBT. It
is the Brettwitter Bull Show. It is great to be
with you guys. And I know you're probably sitting back
and you're saying, Okay, Brett, you say that all the
time every day I am. I'm always really excited to
be able to spend time with the smartest audience in
all of talk radio. And I mean that it's not
a suck up. If you disagree, you can, I mean,
that's totally fine. You're a prerogative. You're gonna do whatever

(00:37):
it is you want to do. By the way, you
can reach out to us. There's a special telephone number
seven four five seven zero eleven ten. If you're not
willing to come on the air, you can certainly pick
up our other option, which is the WBT text line
driven by Liberty Buick GMC. And that you want to

(01:00):
definitely commit this to memory. Seven zero four five seven
zero one one one zero, And that's what you go,
that's where you go, that's what you get. That's how
it is all right. Very interesting to see the events
that are now happening over in Israel, because you heard

(01:23):
right from bb Net and Yahoo that they are going
to move to take complete control of all of Gaza.
That was announced in the last two three hours bb Net, Yahoo,
he went on Fox, he talked to Bill Hemmer and

(01:44):
he answered a whole lot of questions. And so now
Israel intends to control all of Gaza. They no longer
believe that there is any kind of a side by
side solution or any of that sort of stuff that
is happening. It is going to be a battle to
the end. They've got about Bibnetyaw who believes that they've

(02:04):
got about twenty a live folks who have been held hostage,
and they are going to make the effort to try
to free these people. But the most important message that
came out of that back and forth was that they
are going to destroy Hamas as a functioning entity. And

(02:29):
right in that same period of time, you now have
people saying they are going to maximize the pain, not
just in Israel, not just in Gaza. But it sounds
to me like what you're going to see coming up
with the colleges and universities, Columbia University, which is really

(02:53):
Hamasastan Harvard Hamasastan. These UCLA will will probably become a
joint operation with the Hamas supporters that that came out
of U. C l A, that have come out of
the colleges and universities. So you're going to see a
lot go on here. You're going to see a lot

(03:15):
go on here. They're they're saying that they are zionizing.
This is not the Israeli saying this. This is the
the the Hamas people saying they are going to zionize,
the the the fight over Hamas, meaning they're probably going
to go into places like New York City, Boston, Chicago,

(03:38):
probably Miami, probably Los Angeles, and they're and they're probably
going to start to deploy what you don't want to
see happening, which is probably suicide bombers. So it's going
to be an imperative for the for the Israeli the
IDF to try to get this thing under control quickly.
But this is this is one of the things that
is and look, you have to also understand this is

(04:00):
this is a very important point here. Okay, they are
going to try and it's very important for you to
understand this. They're going to try to scare you, and
you know the reality is living in the Carolinas it's
it's nice to live in the Carolinas. I wouldn't want

(04:20):
to be living in DC. We already saw the the
the dirt bag who murdered those two beautiful people in
uh In in Washington, d C. And he was in
he was in court yesterday. But this is this is
where this is going to go now, and so what
you need is to be alert. You need to be alert.

(04:44):
You need to understand what your surroundings are because at
any time, in any place, it sounds to me like
that's what their what their mission is is going to
try to be. And I believe before this is over,
you're going to see something very different inside of Iran
because Iran, Lebanon, those countries have basically supported what's going

(05:11):
on and what is happening as a response the who
the these will be doing a whole bunch of stuff
as well, and so it's going to be important to
kind of keep an eye on all this sort of stuff. Now,
you shouldn't be afraid. You should live your life. You
should be who you are it Perhaps you know, if

(05:32):
you need to pick up more parabellum, you can do that,
but you know the thing is bib netnah who's made
a decision. And I think the reason why he's made
the decision the way he has is because they didn't
release the hostages. I think that they didn't release those
release those hostages. And I think bb Netanyah who said, well,

(05:53):
they're never going to give us back those hostages unless
we go and get them. We're talking about an area
now that is very different. We're talking about an area
that's that's got close to a million people in it,
and you've got the IDF who's going to go in
and and and try to run their operations. Uh, my guess,
my guess, and I will say this, my guess is

(06:16):
that they're going to be using unconventional means by which
to take uh that piece of territory back, meaning the
Israelis because you can't unfortunately you can't that you can't
half you can't go halfway. They've kind of gone halfway
all this all this time, and so this is this

(06:39):
is going to be something that is tragic, sad. But
you know the reality is the the Israelis did not
they they didn't they didn't go to look for this fight.
Hamas brought the fight, and I think at some stage
of the game. You're going to see external events take

(07:01):
place that are going to be unconventional and are going
to be shocking in many ways. I think this is
going to spill out quickly across the Middle East, and
I think that's why President Trump and his advisors tried
to cut as many deals as they could with as
much as the our world as they could, because if
it comes down to this, this is this is going

(07:21):
to be this, This is going to be just a
massive undertaking. And you know what what I pray for
is peace, and what I pray for is people not
to be killed. I would hope that the Hamas operators
will understand what's what's coming their way and maybe they'll
decide that they want to choose a different path. But
as of now, it doesn't appear that that's what's going

(07:43):
to happen. And sadly, there are going to be a
lot of folks who are going to lose their lives.
All Right. I don't want to be like, you know,
NICKI negative, So I'm not gonna be negative. I was

(08:04):
just giving you guys like a heads up as to
what I think is gonna happen. But now I got
something that's going to really offend you are you? Are
you guys ready to be completely offended? You're going to
be completely offended. I never thought that I would see
the day that something like this could be created. This
is a this is a refreshing kind of a drink.

(08:26):
And I don't know who the heck came up with this,
but I'm telling you right now, if if they brought
it into this room in my studio, I would you'd
see a Brett cut out shape through the door like
I'd run through the door. So Smoothie King and Hines

(08:50):
have teamed up together to make catch up smoothies. Lonnie's
very excited about this. You know you're hot and need
something refreshing and cold to drink, so you guzzle the
nearest ketchup bottle. But that hasn't stopped Hinz from teaming

(09:12):
up with Smoothie King to create a cold, refreshing ketchup
smoothie that is right on now listen, hurry up because
it's a limited time offer, so queue up now because
I don't know where this is gonna go. But yeah,

(09:34):
this is this is really quite something. This is they
have the story over it not to bee. You know
you're hot and you need something refreshing and cold to drink,
so you guzzle the nearest ketchup bottle they are. They
are doing this for a limited time. Smoothie King will
be offering Ketchup smoothies on their menu and they've got pictures.

(09:58):
These are real, not like not a joke, as President
Biden would say, not a joke. In the press release,
Heines explains the origin of the unholy amalgamation. While everyone
knows the age old question, is tomato a fruit or
a vegetable, recently thousands have started asking if tomatoes are

(10:19):
a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
So, what's in the ketchup smoothie? You guys ready? Oh
this is so bad, Like you could have just made
it like a like a ketchup smoothie. It's worse. It's
even worse, Ladies and gentlemen. The Hindes Tomato Ketchup smoothie
blends sweet ashy sorbet, crisp apple juice, juicy strawberries, tart raspberries,

(10:51):
and of course the unmistakable taste of Hines simply ketchup, oh,
which is all natural and made from red ripe tomatoes
full of vitamins and antioxidants. By the way, they've got this,
they've got this phenomenal shocking look on John Cena's face

(11:14):
reacting to this in the in the uh, you know,
in the uh in the place. So anyway, if you're
into torturing your taste buds, you can find the odd
concoction at these locations they have they have locations. I mean,
this is this is just I don't even know what
you do with it. I think what you do with
that is here's what I do. Think what you do

(11:34):
with that, you don't pre sell it to the person.
You just give it to them and go, hey, check
this out. This is delicious, it's refreshing, it's a smoothie.
It's got and then just talk about the berries that
are in it, but don't talk about the tomatoes that
are in it. Okay, that's that's I think that's how
you get the people to buy in to it. But

(11:59):
the face puckering, I mean, the face puckering is going
to be just out of sight. It's just it's just
so crazy. But you know what, there are people who
will like it. There are people will who will like it.
Though there are people who will then complain when it
goes out of the style and it's gone. I mean,
all that sort of stuff is happening all all in

(12:21):
the real time of you know, inventing new things, which
is pretty cool. Has anybody heard of a congress person
by the name of a Jasmine Crocket She's been making
the rounds. She's very popular among her constituents, and unfortunately,
apparently her staffers and the staffers in the Congress are

(12:45):
are letting her have it now all diva know, Wow,
Jasmine Crockets staffers spill the tea about their horrible no
show boss from hell. What I thought she was gonna
run for president? She was taking She was taking some
big swings yesterday at AOC, saying that AOC is not
not the real deal. Jasmine Crockett is a horrible, mean

(13:09):
boss who never shows up and when she does, she
terrorizes her staffers. Gosh, that just doesn't sound like her
at all. This is this is over at twitchy. Sam
Jay put this out over it Twitchy. Multiple staffers have
turned against Jasmine Crockett, accusing her of being a no

(13:31):
show boss from hell who terrorizes them. That is per
The New York Post. The New York post. You know
they're dialed in. Crockett is not often found at her
government provided suite in the longwarth Longworth House office building,
with one insider saying she prefers to work from her

(13:51):
nearby luxury apartment building. Sometimes for weeks on end, she's
laying around her apartment. This is a quote from the staffers.
She's laying around her apartment. She won't come into the
office and is really just indifferent to staff and will
scream at them. Have you ever had anybody as a
boss that's screamed at you. You ever been screamed at
by a boss? I was screamed nearby by a boss

(14:17):
one time, Like they were just yelling, and it's you know,
what are you gonna do? Are you gonna are you
gonna blow it up? Are you gonna be like? Hey,
you don't yell at me. You don't scream at me.
The screaming and the yelling is not that's that's that's
a very bad thing. A second source close to Crockett's
team added, it's widely known she's not nice to staff.

(14:39):
I'm shocked, and is not really dedicated as a member
focused on constituents. Well, okay, let's be honest here for
a minute. There's a lot of people that are not
good with the constituency outreach, man, I mean there's a lot.
I could I could name a number of people that
I know for sure are horrifically bad with the with

(15:03):
the constituencies. She has focused almost exclusively on being an influencer.
You gotta be careful when you're in the Congress because
if you're an influencer, that's one thing, But if you're
being influenced, that could be dangerous. You might be taken,
you know, you might have and end up in Swallwellville.

(15:24):
She has focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not
a member of Congress. Set a third source who has
worked with Crockett describing her as all diva, no wau Well,
what would what would the wow be like? Who's a
wow person in the Congress? I'm trying to think of
who it is. I don't know. There's nobody's wowing me

(15:44):
in that regard. More focused on being an influencer. Shocking, shocking.
What do you think everybody on the Democratic side and
some of the Republicans are trying to they're trying to
be influencers. There was a whole point of walk looking
out on the on the you know, the reapportionment. So

(16:06):
you look at this and it is interesting. John Salisbury
has a very interesting take. He says, isn't that the
same way that Kamala Harris's staff described her. The Dems
aren't sending their best, are they. There's Republicans that are
pretty stinky too, though. I mean, let's be honest here,
there are plenty of Republicans that they just want to

(16:28):
they just want to be famous for being famous. I
mean it's really kind of it's it's just terrible. I
had such higher hopes. Here's what they need to do.
I want the staff. I want the staff to listen
to me, the staff of Jasmine Crockett. It's very hot
in DC. It's been hot for a number of weeks.

(16:50):
I think what you need to do is you need
to offer up to Jasmine Crockett the Hinds smoothie. Maybe
she's a maybe she's under nourished, I don't know, but
give her a nice cold Heinz drink and say try this.

(17:10):
It's decidedly different. Okay, last week I brought up a

(17:34):
topic that was near and dear to me. And I
know that you're you're thinking that you know I'm not.
I'm not being straight up with you, But I am
being straight up with you. I promise you. I don't
ever like make stuff up and put it on the
air or anything like that. So you guys might remember
last week and the week before that I made a
reference to this thing that nobody knows what it is,

(17:57):
but it's coming our way. I don't know. I know
if you guys are thinking I'm crazy, I've got I
got a report that I took off of a source
and it's about the thing that's out way out in
outer space and it's coming at us. I mean, I
mean literally, it's coming at us. There's a guy named

(18:21):
Avi Lobe. Avi Lobe. He is a genius. He is
a scientist at Harvard University. He's like the head of
the research facility there. I know I went after Harvard
in the first segment, but you gotta hear this. So
this guy explains what's going to happen. And this is not.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
East of the Rockies, West of the Rockies.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's none, no, none of this George Norris stuff. Okay,
I promise you this is this is a guy who's
staking his reputation on this, and you have to hear this.
I'm not gonna hype it anymore. I'm just gonna play it.
I might play it again in the in the third hour,
in case you want another helping of this. This is
pretty freaky. I'm kind of intrigued. I think I don't

(19:09):
hate space anymore.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
It's like that, Go Professor Low, your recent paper suggests
that this object might actually be alien technology rather than
just another comment. What exactly about the speed, the trajectory,
the behavior leads you to consider this as a possibility.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Well, first, it's relatively bright for its distance, implying that
if it's a solid object, it has to be twenty
kilometers in diameter. That's twice as big as the giant
asteroid that killed the dinosaurs sixty six million years ago,
and the previous objects we saw from interstellar space were
only hundreds of meters in size. So there is just

(19:50):
not enough rocky material in interstellar space to provide us
with a twenty kilometer rock that appears once per decade.
But more importantly, the trajectory is very unusual. It's aligned
with the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, and
the chance of that happening is one in five hundred

(20:12):
and then it also the timing of its arrival is
very fine tuned because it comes very close to Jupiter,
to Mars and to Venus, and the chance of that
happening is one in twenty thousand. And Moreover, it's moving
in the opposite direction to the motion of the Earth
around the Sun, and when it will come closest to

(20:35):
the Sun, the Earth would be on the opposite side,
so we won't be able to observe it. That's the
point in time when it can do a maneuver with
the aid of the Sun's gravity, and that will happen
on October twenty ninth. And I already heard from a
fan that he is trading options against the volatility of

(20:57):
the markets, the stock market with an expiration date because
of the October twenty ninth. Because if it's alien tech,
you know, that would change the future in quite dramatic way.
It will have a huge.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
So many questions. So I mean, if I have this correct,
I believe you've proposed using a Richter scale before to
assess such objects as zero means this is totally of
natural origin. Ten means this is clearly engineered based on
what we know about this object and what you're observing,
what number would you give it now.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
We don't have enough data. It depends how much weight
you give to the unusual orbit. The trajectory is extremely
rare and fine tuned, and depending on that, how much
are you assigned to that? You will give it a
rank that is somewhere in the middle. It's difficult to
assess it this time, but we will get The good

(21:54):
news is we will get much more better data in
the coming months. You know, the fun of doing science
is that you can ask questions at first and then
answer them with data, and we don't need to have
an opinion, especially in a blind date like this one.
You know, all bets are off. This visitor came from

(22:17):
interstellar space, and it's possible that you know it targeted
the Inner Solar System for a technological reason.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
From what you're describing, this sounds like one of the
worst blind dates potentially I've ever heard of. Do we
have the capabilities right now to track, intercept, and even
respond to something non human entering our Solar system as
soon as October?

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Well, it will be moving relative to Earth at nearly
one hundred k kilometers per second when it's closest to
the Sun. Simply because it moves in the opposite direction
to the motion of the Earth, there is no way
for us for us to send a rocket that will
intercept with it from Earth. However, I wrote a paper

(23:00):
last week that there is actually a spacecraft that is
orbiting Jupiter. It's called Juno, and it's the end of
its life. The plan was to send it straight into
Jupiter in September twenty twenty five because the mission has ended.

(23:21):
But what I realized is that if instead of giving
it a push so that it ends its life inside Jupiter,
you give it a push away from Jupiter. If the
push is sufficient sufficient, then it will actually intercept the
orbit of three I atlas, this new object in March

(23:42):
twenty six, when it will come very close to Jupiter.
And on Tuesday this week, just a few days ago,
I had a phone call from a congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna,
who asked me for an update about three I Atlas,
and I mentioned this to her, and she wrote a
letter to NASA on Thursday last week and just two

(24:08):
days ago, in which she encourages NASA to look into
the possibility of using Juno as a probe of three
I Atlas.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
I really appreciate that update, and I hope you keep
us updated on.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Okay, So I so you know, I've I've taken a
lot of shots at space. Like I I've said for
pretty much the entirety of my broadcast career that you know,
I think space is not a place that I'd ever
want to go. Space is just it's just a dead vacuum.
It's all that kind of stuff. And then I was
having a conversation with my with my wife this this

(24:45):
late this morning, and she posited a theory. Her theory is,
you know, for one hundred years plus, we've been sending
stuff out into space, recordings like we've had we've had
broadcast for the last one hundred years, going out right
going out into the Who knows where all that stuff's going, right,

(25:07):
but it keeps traveling, it keeps traveling. They're picking up
all this sort of stuff, and it's possible that, you know,
maybe maybe they've been listening to us a little bit
and they may have taken umbrage with the things I've
said about space, and then now they're coming to like,

(25:28):
you know, maybe they took it literally, not figuratively. And
maybe now they're coming to check us out because here's
the thing, he says. October twenty ninth is when this
thing comes around. But he says, if you can get
on the other side of it, you're gonna have this
thing with the March of twenty twenty six. My birthday

(25:55):
is March twenty eighth. They might be coming to deliver
me some goods. Or they may be coming because I
because I because I tried to give them, tried to
give them some problems. Specifically, they may be coming to

(26:16):
see me because I'm trying to give them the ketchup
smoothie dudes talk eleven ten n w BT and nothing
to worry about. Don't worry about. Everything's gonna be all right.

(26:37):
We're totally good. Everything's great. Robert, Welcome to the program, Robert,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Hey, Brett, are you able to hear me?

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (26:45):
I think I may have had a bad signal earlier.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
No, I hear you?

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Okay, good, good. Well, First of all, Brett, I just
want to I just want to confirm and reiterate what
you said earlier in the show. I don't think there's
any doubt at all that you have the smart audience anywhere,
probably in the whole country. I think it's fair to say,
I mean, you have Jim out there, you have you
have Yankee, Joe, you have you even have Mike the
liberal lawyer who calls in Reguar Lee and they they

(27:13):
they all do a good job.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And I got right and I got Robert.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Well, I only call maybe once or twice a week, Brett,
because I don't call in unless I really think I
can contribute. So and I do appreciate the opportunity. And
when you have Pam and Isaac and others there, Lonnie, etcetera,
it's it's it's a pleasure to work with anyone on
your team.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
And Nick Nick is here too. Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Well. The other quick point, Brett, regarding nittn Yahoo and
what he I think you've talked about maybe some unconventional
means that he will use. I mean, he's probably he
and Israel have probably done ninety five percent of what
they could do to eradicate a moss and that that

(28:00):
last five percent, uh, as is often the case in
other activities, that last five percent can be the toughest.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
So absolutely, I thought that was.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
A very interesting fair warning that you gave. And but
the one thing is the the the pro Hamas wing
of the Democrat Party is going to get even more
agitated than they already are. That's the elon Omars of
the world, et cetera. So I just hope that they
will not go to drastic links uh in in opposition

(28:32):
to these actions that Net and Yahoo is probably going
to take well.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
And that's that's that's the challenge here, right because what
I don't what I don't notice, and I'm not I'm
not encouraging by any stretch of the imagination. But you know,
the fights not here in the United States. We're not
We're not the party at war with Hamas. It's bb

(28:56):
net and Yahoo and Israel that are at the fighting
point with Hamas. They're going to try to do it
on their own. And you know, I don't think we're
going to see people, you know, rushing over there to
to try to be a part of this, because it's
such a horrific reality. But I think we are going
to see people who wanna who want to become famous,

(29:19):
uh like that guy did in in in Washington, d C.
And that's the only concern that I that's the warning
that I have, you know, for for folks, and I
hate to see that happen. But you know, either you're
going to try to win the war or not. But
there is no middle ground there.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
Well, of course, alah, I mean pardon me. Of course,
Israel is a is a staunch, long time alla of ours.
But but as you know, these these campus protests have
been laden with with I think it's fair to say
pro Amas people, some of them, a lot of them
would call themselves, yes, pro Palestinian, but I I don't

(30:00):
think there's any doubt that a lot of them are
pro Amos and virulently anti Israel. So these people can
become unhinged, or maybe I think a lot of them
already are unhinged.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Well, look, you have people, you have, you have people
that get so unhinged because of the media coverage and
the things like that that they do not weigh any
kind of an alternative way to get out of this,
right the Israelis. The Israelis could have just gone on

(30:35):
gone in on day one of October seventh with everything
they had, and they didn't do that. They make a
point of trying to protect innocent lives, just like we
do when we go into battlefields. We you know, the
United States could have could have just dropped an atomic
weapon on you know, Saddam Hussein. We could have dropped

(30:56):
an atomic weapon on Iran. We could have done any
of those things. But we do not want to kill
innocent life. The difference between us and the radical Islamists
is they want to kill innocent people because they think
the shocking nature of it is a benefit to them.
And unfortunately they are absolutely wrong in every way, shape

(31:21):
or form, and you're not supposed to kill innocent people.
That's the whole point.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
Well, our history, our history is not I mean, it's
kind of a cliche to say, yes, our history is
not perfect, but I would say if you look at
all the conflicts that we've been involved in over the
last however many years you want to look at, we
have done the right thing yep, pretty much every time.
And we have gone, as you said, we've gone out

(31:50):
of our way, yes, to do these conflicts as well
as they could be done and as humanely as they
could be done.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
And you know who, you know who else signs onto
that all of the NATO allies that we have, every
NATO ally stands in the same position we do. Germany
had to learn a very hard lesson at the end
of World War Two, but we built them up and
brought them into the family of nations. Same thing with Japan.

(32:21):
We are the people who go and fight because we must,
but we also at the same time make the effort
to rebuild. We rebuilt Afghanistan, and unfortunately a president that
was addlepated was not strong enough to understand that we
should not have given it back to the Taliban. But

(32:42):
that's unfortunately what happened in a man who is being
driven by the autoped great stuff. Robert, I always appreciate
your calls. News Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT,

(33:05):
It's the Bretwinable Show. It's great to be with you.
Seven h four to five seven zero eleven ten. Today,
we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge this
auspicious occasion, and that is Purple Heart Day in the
United States. It has observed on August the seventh. This
is the twenty twenty fifth anniversary of the twenty twenty
fifth celebration that's happening today, and it's important to remember

(33:31):
this when you think about the Purple Heart and When
you think about Purple Heart Day, it recognizes a sacrifice.
It's a day to remember the deep sacrifice made by
military members for the nation's freedom. Commemorates the Purple Heart,
which is the creation of the oldest American military decoration
for military merit. That's what the Purple Heart metal represents.

(33:55):
It highlights itself in the rich history and significant of
the Purple Heart metal, tracing its origins back to the
badge of Military Merit established by George Washington in seventeen
eighty two. It also raises awareness. It helps raise awareness

(34:15):
about the physical and emotional scars of war and the
ongoing impact of service and sacrifice. So to all of
those who are listening in the sound of my voice,
I honor you and understand the sacrifice that you have made.

(34:37):
And we should always always observe that. Somebody asked me
during the commercial break, how many people have received the
Purple Heart metals. It's more than one point eight million.
More than one point eight million. They've been awarded since

(34:59):
the day decorations creation in seventeen eighty two. As I mentioned,
according to the National Purple Heart Heart Hall of Fame
Hall of Honor, I'm sorry However, due to incomplete records obviously,
and precise numbers are not available because of that, but
certainly we honor you and we are just so happy

(35:22):
to have you all who are listening, and we are
so honored to be able to be in your presence. Ray,
Welcome to the program.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
Ray, thanks for taking my call. Britt. Yes, sir, I
didn't get a chance to call in yesterday, but wanted two.
You were talking about the anniversary of the AU bomb
in Hiroshima, Yes, and I just had a couple of
things to say about that shift cood real quick. Sure

(35:53):
it was back in the eighties or the nineties. I
think people have talked to me out this guy. He
was from North Carolina somewhere, and the ride up in
the Gaston Gazette at that time about him. They interviewed
him and he said that I believe he was a
bomber deer on the Inola Gay and when they dropped

(36:16):
the bomb he saw it. You know what the results
of it was, He said it it just blew everything,
blew everything up the side of the mountain and out
toward the sea. You know, just like I guess a
big fan would blow pieces of scrap paper, and he
said it looked everything down there just looked like bubble
and tar. And also a few years ago I read

(36:42):
somewhere that when they were planning to not trying to
figure if they should use the A bomb or not,
they were going to invade the mainland of Japan with
conventional forces. Yes, And it said they had had they
got a million marines ready to go, and they were

(37:06):
going to send them in on four waves of a
quarter million each. And they said they drew lots or
straws or something to see who would be in each wave.
And they said that the Marines in the first and
the second wave they pretty much just got on their
hands and knees and made their peace with God because
they knew they wouldn't come through it. And I just

(37:28):
wanted to tell that to everyone out there.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah, listen, it's a very important point that you raise.
And you know, one of the things that people need
to think about is how long that war would have
potentially gone, because you would have had a whole lot
of complicated parts of this, not the least of which
would have been a war going into potentially nineteen forty eight,

(37:56):
nineteen forty nine.

Speaker 7 (37:59):
Yes, would have the bomb saved lies, I.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Mean absolute, yeah, absolutely, And and look it's only been
deployed twice. I mean it is only it has only
been done twice, and it has never been used since
other than tests.

Speaker 7 (38:15):
People need to think about it. Saved lies on a
lot of lies on both sides.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
For sure, Absolutely true. And that's one of the things
that people, you know, you'll you'll you'll sometimes run into
people who say America is not a great country because
we deployed the atomic bomb. We only deployed the atomic
bomb because we were attacked and we were trying to
end the war as quickly as as as humanly possible.

(38:43):
And you know that that's that's what it came down to.
I I had the blessing uh once upon a time
when I was much younger to go to the Trinity
site where they tested the bomb.

Speaker 7 (38:54):
Uh me and my.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Brothers and and my my father and my grandfather. I was.
I stood right at ground zero at that site, and
you know, you do have a feeling when you get
in there and you realize through the gravity of all
of it at that stage. But man, I'm really glad
you called in today. Ray, Thank you so much for

(39:15):
being here.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
Sir, thank you for taking with call britt.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Oh, it's my pleasure absolutely, and you know, I would
hope we never ever ever have to do it again.
You know, nobody wants to see an atomic war, a
nuclear war, hydrogen bombs, you know, all that sort of stuff.
What's interesting is we're getting to a place now where
there's going to be a whole new revolution of weaponry

(39:41):
that's going to happen, and some of it is going
to be especially involving if you were to try to
get out there, like go twenty five years from now, Okay,
hypothetically you go got twenty five years. Do you think
we will have manned aircraft in the way we have

(40:02):
had them for nearly a century? You know, are we
going to have manned aircraft? Are we going to have
people flying or are they going to be deployed as
you know as autonomous weapons and things like that. That's
the question. I mean, we really don't know what this

(40:23):
looks like. Are we going to end up with those robots,
you know, fighting each other on a battlefield and people
are going to be trying to control how it is
you get the territory and all that sort of stuff.
I mean, there's there's so much that is going to
change in the next forty or fifty years that it's
going to be very curious to see how how this

(40:45):
all ultimately moves on News Talk eleven ten, not nine
to three WBT. Okay, I don't want to get yelled at.
Don't yell at me. Okay, I'm not talking. I'm not

(41:06):
going to talk about the smoothies. Okay, I promise you that.
But there's a couple of stories that are out here
moving and I think it's important to address this. So
we have been told, we have been told time and
time again that we're responsible for all the carbon in

(41:27):
the air that's causing all the global warming and all
that sort of stuff. All right, So, the University of
Bristol not in Tennessee, it's the University of Bristol in England.
They have discovered that scientists scientists have discovered that ancient

(41:52):
carbon is leaking into the atmosphere. No, I'm not stop.
I'm not talking about crop dusting. Stop that, stop that.
I'm talking about a new global study reveals that ancient carbon,
once thought securely stored in soils and rocks, is now

(42:15):
leaking into the atmosphere and they're blaming it on rivers.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Rivers.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
For the first time, researchers have confirmed that carbon trapped
in landscapes for thousands of years or longer can return
to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide escaping from river surfaces.
All right, excuse me, how long have they had this
stuff kind of sequestered in the ground. How long has

(42:43):
that been? Has it been like a million years, ten
million years, twenty million years? Like, I don't know what
the number is. But co author of the study, Professor
Bob Hilton, professor of sedimentary geography at the University of Oxford, said,

(43:04):
we discovered that around half of the emissions are young. Well,
the other half are much older, released from deep soil
layers and a rock weathering that we formed thousands even
millions of years ago. Okay, you're gonna blame it on

(43:25):
us for this, and everything's our fault. We were born, right,
you might have been born I'm gonna guess. I'm just
gonna like take a guess. You might have been born
in like nineteen thirty. You might have been born in
nineteen fifty. You might have been born in nineteen seventy.
You might have been born you know, twenty ten. It's

(43:46):
not your responsibility. If that carbon was already in the
ground and now all of a sudden it's popping out,
they're gonna blame us. You just you know this right,
They're gonna blame us. But the thing that galls me
to no end is the idea of rivers transporting and

(44:06):
releasing methane and carbon dioxide as part of the global
carbon cycle. We're not supposed to have any of these emissions.
We live in all the emission. Have you been around
anywhere you go? Anywhere there's people breathing, there's people expelling,
there's people doing all sorts of things like that, and
but we're but we're the problem. Go go take it

(44:30):
up with the ancient carbon gateways. That's my that's my
first complaint. My second complaint is something else. We all
lived with, you guys, remember we all lived with the
UH with the Biden administration. Do you guys remember the
Biden administration? Raise your hand if you do, don't, don't.

(44:51):
If you're driving, I'll take your word for it. So
we had we had a guy who I mean, I'm
gonna be honest. I'm sorry, it's not disrespectful. I mean
auto pen would understand. But the fact of the matter
is we had inflation. You guys, remember the inflation that
we had, and what is inflation. Inflation is goods that

(45:13):
you purchase that are more expensive than they should be
because of what spending money all this kind of stuff.
Remember Joe Biden spent seven trillion dollars on garbage. Okay,
well here's the problem. You know, the space alien thing
that we were talking about, and it's coming our way
and all this sort of stuff. Okay, there's a mysterious

(45:36):
boost to the Earth's spin. Okay, no, no, don't listen
to me. I gotta tell you these things because you're
not gonna know this. You got jypped today. Today, you
got jipped. You thought you're getting a twenty four hour day.
Can I just tell you something. This is by the way,
this is an authoritative source. Okay, this is ah, this

(46:01):
is space dot com. The days are getting shorter, and
not just because summer is waning in the northern hemisphere.
On Tuesday, August fifth, Earth's solar day will be ever
so slightly shorter than the usual twenty four hours. They
didn't give you twenty four hours on the fifth. Are

(46:23):
you ready for this. We got robbed by one point
two five milliseconds. You're you didn't notice it. It didn't happen,
Nothing happened. But it's part of a puzzling trend that's
baffling scientists. Earth is spinning faster. Hold on a minute,

(46:46):
what is that? It is the earth drinking red bull?
Is that why everything's you got wings were moving faster?
How is how is it moving faster? How do you
get I don't know you guys, any I got any
bowlers out there? How do you get that spin going
down the lane? Man with the sph with the reverse
spin and you get it right? There's seven to ten
split magnets? Is it magnets? Magnets? You know what I

(47:10):
think it is? I know, I know, I know, Lannie,
I know I'm gonna get people upset. What if what
if that that thing that's gonna happen in October that
I will not talk about again because it's going out

(47:31):
and they're hearing it in about three months. What if
they're spinning us up? What if they're for singing? What
if we are getting spun up by them? Due this
is this scary we you know what I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

(47:52):
I'm thinking that the uh, the planet physically unable to play.
I think it's on the pup list. Gotta put him,
gotta shut him down, gotta shut him down, get him
Tommy John surgery, so that we're going in the appropriate direction.

Speaker 8 (48:09):
Shut down for the season.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
That's it, Baby.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
News Talk eleven ten, ninety nine three WBT. It's the
Brettwater Bowl Show, seven oh four five seven eleven ten.
So I've got a bank of different monitors sitting in
the studio. All of us do when we come into
this particular studio. And it's interesting because I've noted in
the last four or five days. So right now President

(48:49):
Trump is appearing live on CNN and he's making comments
about meeting with Vladimir Putin. I'm not gonna take that audio.
I don't need to take the audio because I can
I can see what he's saying. But Fox News this
is like the second or third day that Fox News
has not carried comments from the President.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
It's it's uh, it's a Will Cain talking to a
Democrat Texas state representative who is part of the whole
back and forth for redistricting. But it's very interesting because
you're seeing CNN is increasingly covering Trump and Fox News

(49:35):
seems to be doing a little bit less. It's just
one of those no comment about it, really just just
an observation sitting here and looking at all the banks
of phone numbers and the issues that are being talked about,
all that sort of stuff. President Trump is calling for
a new census that would be absent undocumented, i e.

(50:00):
Illegal aliens from the count. Now, this is a this
is a bit of a difficult sort of a thing,
and I'll explain to you why. President Donald Trump said
Thursday that he has instructed his administration to start to
work on a new census that excludes illegal migrants from

(50:20):
the count. In a social media post, Trump said those
living in the United States without legal status should not
be included. Quote. I have instructed our Department of Commerce
to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate
census based on the modern day facts and figures, and

(50:45):
importantly use the results and the information gained from the
presidential election of twenty twenty four. People who are in
the country illegally will not be counted in the senses.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Trump said
on truth Social and he had posted this up at
a truth social website. The United States typically conducts a

(51:10):
census once every decade. The government last counted residents of
the United States and its five territories way back in
the awful year of twenty twenty. That was a terrible year.
That was COVID, that was all that sort of stuff
that went on, that was rioting. It was people desperate

(51:31):
to get back to work and people drinking all day,
and the twenty twenty was a very very dangerous year
when households could respond online for the first time. The
count historically includes foreign born residents of the United States,
including lawful permanent residents, students, refugees and asylum seekers, and

(51:57):
people who entered the country without permission. The consequence of
the push by Trump to exclude illegal aliens and just
who can vote has already been highlighted as it addresses
the left's strategy for decades to inflate their power in Congress.
That there's no debate about that, because if you have

(52:20):
a city like New York, and let's say there's a
million people in New York who are not legally in
the country, it's a hypothetical. I'm giving you right and
let's say there's twelve million people that live in New York.
So if you count everybody and it's not even knowable.
If you've counted everybody by the way, you know, that's

(52:41):
going to have a disparate impact. And one of the
issues that people talk about is it's not fair if
you're not legally in the country, why should you be
counted in the senses? Well, here's the problem, and you
have to It's like a choose your own adventure book here, Okay,

(53:02):
you can you can either count everybody so you know
what the scale of people in the country who are undocumented,
what that number looks like. Or you can just say, hey,
we're only going to count these other people, but that
grouping of people are going to continue to grow, no
doubt about it, over time. And so I would I

(53:25):
would I would hand this out to you in the audience.
Seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten. Would you
want to count just legal Americans or would you want
to know the number for everybody that's in the country.
Now here's the thing all you can all you could

(53:45):
do to fix this is you could just say, listen,
we are going to have a box on the on
the form that says are you in the country legally? Now,
people may or may not answer that. That's very possible,
but I mean it would be about putting that up
on the on the next on the next run. The

(54:06):
US Census Bureau collects data from all foreign born who
participate in its censuses and surveys, regardless of legal status. Well,
you know, I bet you I'd be willing to bet money,
not literally, but I'll bet you there's people that are
born and bred American. Okay, that are born and bred

(54:28):
American and they they don't they don't answer the census
like they're just like what, I don't feel out that farm.
I don't want anybody to know anything about me. Like,
there's that possibility, there is that. There is definitely that
possibility of people. Why do you think they remember they
were ringing your doorbell like fifteen times a day? Hey,

(54:50):
did you fill out the fences? Did you do the census?
All you had to do was say, yeah, I did census. Yeah,
I'm all good. It's I don't know why it's not
on the paper. I mean, you could say that illegal
immigrants in their US might her born children would redistribute
five seats in twenty twenty, with Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, Minnesota,
West Virginia each losing one seat in the twenty twenty election,

(55:12):
then with the census, the otherwise would have had. California
and Texas both had two additional seats. New York had
one additional seat. According to the Center for Immigration Studies,
as recently as twenty twenty, there was an estimated eleven

(55:36):
to twenty two million illegal aliens living in the US.
Can you imagine Could you imagine if you were off
by that much on your checking account it's either eleven
dollars or twenty two dollars. I don't know, it's either
eleven million or twenty two million. I bet you it's
more like or it was more like twenty seven million.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Be my guess.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
The next census will be conducted in twenty thirty. Yippie
Skippy News Talk eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT. So.
I watch a lot of cable channels, like many of

(56:21):
you do, just to see what's being said and what's
being argued and all that sort of stuff. And one
of the things that I think has really been distorted
and needs to be addressed is the fiction of this
Trump being an authoritarian authoritarianism guy, the fiction of authoritarianism

(56:42):
and the truth of tyranny. You know, think about the
age in which we live, where words are weaponized and
definitions are distorted, where resolve is mistaken for refreshed and

(57:02):
strength for tyranny. Some claim that President Trump's an authoritarian.
That assertion is not accurate. In fact, it's a fiction.
It's popular on the cable channels. But to understand what
a true authoritarian looks like, we have to journey through history.

(57:26):
We have to meet the men that didn't just govern,
they crushed. They didn't just lead, they silenced. I mean,
I'll start off with the Romans, a bunch of pilot
prototype of a cowardly power Roman governor who washed his

(57:46):
hands of justice while condemning an innocent man to death.
Pilot did not act from conviction. He acted from fear.
He bowed to the mob. Not to print. Authoritarianism often
wears the mask of cowardice. Pilot was its early face.

(58:08):
Get into the area of Vlad the Impaler. His name
says it all. A man who ruled through terror, impaling
tens of thousands to instill fear. Ivan the Terrible followed
turning Russia into a blood soaked autocracy, slaughtering his own

(58:29):
people in in paranoid purges. King Leopold the Second of Belgium,
he didn't just colonize the Congo, he brutalized it. Millions
died under his private regime, a reign of rubber and ruin.

(58:52):
These were not leaders, They were executioners with crowns come
into the twentieth century the age of ideological repression. In
the twentieth century, authoritarianism reached industrial scale. Joseph Stalin, who
starved Ukraine, purged his own party and sent millions to

(59:13):
the gulags. Adolph Hitler, whose regime mechanized genocide and plunged
the world into war. Maoseay Tongue with the Great Leap Forward,
led to the death of tens of millions through famine,
forced labor, polepot who turned Cambodia into a graveyard, murdering intellectuals, teachers,

(59:37):
even those who wore glasses. These men didn't just repress,
They erased Latin America and Africa. Dictators in the shadows.
Augusto Pinochet in Chile, who tortured and disappeared thousands in
the name of order, Fidel Castro, who silenced descent, imprisoned poets,

(59:59):
and turned qub into an island of fear. Idi Amin
of Uganda, who butchered his own citizens and ruled with
the sadistic glee. Robert Mugabi, who destroyed Zimbabwe's economy and
crushed his opposition with iron fists. These were not misunderstood patriots.
These were tyrants in a revolutionary rhetoric. The modern era

(01:00:22):
right now, it still rains Kim jong onun bish Alasad
Shi Jinping, who oversees mass surveillance and re education camps
and the suppression of religion and ethnic minorities. Vladimir Putin,
who jails journalists, poisons opponents, and invades sovereign nations. These

(01:00:44):
are the authoritarians of our time. They are more sophisticated,
but their goals are the same. So when activists and
politicians labeled Trump and authoritarian, we have to ask does
he silence the press?

Speaker 8 (01:00:56):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Did he jail his opponents? No? Did he does all
the elections outlawed, dissent or criminalize speech. No? He governed
with resolve, not repression. He challenged institutions, yes, but he
did not dismantle them. He provoked debate, but he did
not prohibit it. The difference between resolve and repression. Resolve

(01:01:21):
is the courage to act in the face of criticism.
Authoritarianism is the compulsion to eliminate criticism altogether. Like a
college in the university, Resolve builds walls to protect sovereignty.
Authoritarianism builds prisons to protect power. Resolve says, let the
people decide, Authoritarianism says I am the people. Let us

(01:01:45):
not confuse the two. One is leadership, the other is tyranny.
News Talk eleven ten, nine NINEM three WBT, it's the

Bretwintervow Show. Good to be Witchy. By the way, if
you want to call in, you can. It's seven four

call in, but you want to text us, you can
go to the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick
jeep GMC. Liberty Buick GMC. It's great to be with you.

(01:02:28):
Everything else is fair game. That's out there, the stuff
that we've talked about, stuff that we have not talked
about yet. We certainly want to invite you to be
a part of the conversation. So let's take a look
at one of the stories that I think is very interesting,
and it's never too late to kind of look at
these sorts of things. We have a situation here where

(01:02:53):
the argument goes that gen z could tip the next election. Now,
I'm I've been around for a minute, and I see
this on an ongoing basis where people just pick up
the next generation and they say they're going to be
the ones who could decide the next election. Unfortunately, you

(01:03:13):
have people, if people who are out there who are
in the business of saying, look, I want to make
sure that the next generation understands that they need to
vote in a particular way. So the future of American
politics might be decided by whether young voters get most

(01:03:38):
of their news through TikTok. This is a piece over
at vox. I don't mean to single out the Chinese
owned vertical video app here. TikTok is a stand in
for a bigger phenomenon in modern American society, passive news
consumption and insid mental exposure, or the sense that news

(01:04:03):
and information will find their way to the people as
opposed to active news. Consumers who are seeking out information
want to keep up with current events, and they're more
engaged with politics. Passive news consumers encounter things in passing

(01:04:24):
while scanning headlines on social media apps, et cetera, et cetera.
Everybody wants to try to apply to the folks with
that are the next generation. Right, so we've got the
gen Z divide and they want to claim them for

(01:04:45):
their own. But no generation is a monolith. People want
us to believe that every generation that's coming up as
a monolith. Look, there are people in gen Z. There
are great people in gen Z. There are average people

(01:05:06):
in gen Z. It just so turns out that when
you look at the generations, they seem to have a
consistent pattern. You have people who are patriotic, you have
people who hate the country. You have people who are
middling on that issue. You have people who are pro

(01:05:27):
trans policies, anti trans policies. You have people that are
emerging in a variety of ways. And yet we're told
by Vox the gen Z divide that could decide the
next election. What do you vote on? For those of

(01:05:49):
you who are not in gen Z? And I would
have encourage you to call in on the show. What
is your number one driver when you're talking about politics,
Like when you're getting ready to go into the voting booth,
or you're trying to decide how you're going to think
about things. What's your number one driver, what's your number

(01:06:12):
two driver, what's your number three driver. I'm not talking
about golf. I'm talking about when you go in there
to vote, you probably think about people who are competent.
You probably think about people who are going to respect
your vote, who are going to want to spend time

(01:06:34):
thinking about these important things. It might be the economy,
it might be social security, it might be any of
these things that are out there. The movers are all
different sort of reasons. Okay, we have all different sorts
of reasons for how it is that we vote. Now,
you might be a Republican, you might be a Democrat.

(01:06:55):
You might be somebody who swings back and forth. Hey,
I like that person, but I didn't like this person's
so I voted the other way. And when you go
into that world, right, are you voting because of your
generation or are you voting because of your pocketbook? Or
are you voting because you want to start a business,
or are you voting because you think there's something much

(01:07:17):
more important about that and you want to see people
naturalized as American citizens even though they had been deported,
whatever that is. But are you going in there and
saying I am the gen z or am I saying
I want more money in my pocket, I want my
business to grow. I care about the environment. I believe

(01:07:41):
in trans rights. Agree, I disagree with trans rights, all
those sorts of things like that. But by and large,
let's be honest. You might be showing a face to
the world, but you might be voting not based on
the face to the world, but on what's best for you.

(01:08:02):
And you know what that is. That's not cynicism, that's
not wacko, that's not any of that. That's being responsible
for your own choice that benefits you. You should always
vote for your best interest, and you should always try

(01:08:24):
to figure out who the person is that respects your money,
that respects your borders, that respects your property and your
home and all of these things. Meaning, you don't want
to go out and get mugged, you don't want to

(01:08:45):
get raped, you don't want to get attacked, you don't
want to get any of that. And that's a good thing.
It's a fundamental good thing. I can tell you this
right now. There is a very high profile person, Big Balls,
who was part of the gen Z group, who was
assaulted in the last forty eight hours in Washington, DC

(01:09:07):
and he and his girlfriend or significant other were set
upon by ten or twelve people who were beaten the
absolute snot out of him because he was trying to
protect his girlfriend. I guarantee you when that was happening,

(01:09:28):
he wasn't saying I gotta remember to vote gen Z.
He was probably saying, when I get out of here,
I want to get out of here. I want to
get home, and I want to get the hell out
of DC because it's too dangerous for me.

Speaker 9 (01:09:40):
That's the issue. That's the issue.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
What is that There was talking eleven nine three w
BT that was not approved. But that's okay. We're sending
that away. We're sending that far far away. We're sending
that over to UH. I don't know, We're just I
just got to take a call here, Stan, Stan, welcome
to the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
No, I want to tell you you heard Donald Trump
has a ordered the Common Department to do a new census.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
What when did that happen?

Speaker 6 (01:10:22):
Order to do another census because the one in twenty
twenty was illegal, there was heating going on. I didn't
need to do another one.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
I didn't. I didn't know that. Give me, give me
the details.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
On this, Okay. So he basically said that it did
not be determining who runs the country. And so he's
basically have the one where only legal immigrants are counted
and that will turn. And there was some other illegal
things about the census as well, and he's basically going
to be fix it so that when we do do
the A licensed in twenty twenty two, that only American

(01:10:54):
citizens get to decide who runs the country.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Okay, So here's what I think is going to happen.
All right, Here's here's my theory.

Speaker 6 (01:11:04):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
My theory is there's they're gonna go find somebody to
do in a to do a an injunction. They'll they'll
try to get one of those like Boseburg or somebody
to say you can't do this because it's not it's
not allowed, and all I think you're just gonna see
a whole bunch of lawsuits. That's my guess. That's my goods.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
Well you will.

Speaker 6 (01:11:24):
But here's one other thing too. If you READATA census
and you get it done, The other thing it'll be
effect is by the by the way you change the representaters,
you'll also change the number of like tol boats each site,
as by that amount we can make a big deal
in the presidential election.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
So this is this is what the imperative is though,
to get people and to send them out to the
what's the word I'm thinking of here? I think this
is why you have to you have to deport people expeditiously,
because otherwise there are people who are going to try
to take advantage of the whole system and.

Speaker 6 (01:11:59):
Then try to count him as long as they're here,
they're going to try to count them as residents.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
Absolutely, yeah, and as that that that's that's that's the
challenge that you're dealing with now here. Okay, Well, of course.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
They're goin to trying to all kinds of legal challenges,
and so I'm would imagine that they're planning now how
to show how to prove in the court why the
why the census it was so illegal that this is
absolutely needed, and I think they're probably working on that now.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
All right, So let me ask you a question, what
do you think is the most is the biggest imperative
right now? In the country where where that that has
to be, that has to be handled immediately. What what
is your guess? I mean, I don't know. I don't
have an answer. I'm just curious because you're you're smart
and you think about it, you.

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
Know, you know, I guess. My My thing is this
is that we need to do something about the Federals are.
I would say that's part of our biggest.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Problem, more than the border.

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:12:54):
Yeah, but because everything that's going on with the border
has to do with economics. Yeah, and if it wasn't
economic and beneficial to somebody based on the system that
we have to do that, it won't be happening.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Yeah, including the drugs.

Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
Including the crime and everything. People are making money, and
people are making.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Money, are funding it, are funding the are funding the Fed.

Speaker 6 (01:13:17):
Of course don't know. The people are making money, are
funding all that stuff. They are making money. And I said,
I think that if you fix it, so that money. Yeah,
basically what the what they do is they they they
put money. Well, if tomorrow I had I had a
warehouse with two billion dollars in it and it burned down,
I lost two billion dollars. Right, the FED has two

(01:13:40):
billion dollars to build it burns down. All they've lost
is what it cost them the printed Well.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
You don't you know. Actually, it's it's funny that you
say that, because I was reading an article, uh, and
I'm a have to try to remember where I saw it.
But it was about the beginning of this week, you know,
once upon a time. Do you know how they actually
regulated the money supply? No, go ahead, They burned it.
So like if you were if you were carrying notes, right,

(01:14:07):
you had all these notes, like let's say it's like
eighteen oh five or whatever it is, okay, and you
have notes, right, You've got stan has five thousand dollar notes,
all right. The way they controlled the supply was they
would burn the actual notes, and that was how they

(01:14:29):
would get rid of that. That's how they would tighten
the money supply.

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
Well, here's the thing with our cost she was rid
of it. Said that money should be only precious metals, gold, gold,
stand and everything. Right, if you bake money on that,
you wouldn't have people mountain.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Or gold and get rid of Well, that's that's true.
But then here's the other thing. I say, it's not
even gold. Say it's uh, you just say it's bonds, right,
Maybe it's bonds. So if you if you burned five
thousand bonds, that would make the value of the bonds
go up because there was only a certain amount that
was in the circulation at that period of time.

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
And if you don't think people think that way, saw
that inn it in my money, your kids, yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Yeah, well that's true. Look, politicians, wait, are you telling
me something here? Stan? Politicians are gonna actually go and
and and create U dollars and and they're going to
make them official dollars that then get used. And I mean,
my gosh, is that is that what you're telling me? Yeah,

(01:15:32):
I'm shocked. I mean, my gosh, that's it. So if
we just if we just get more of those dollars
and we print more of those, everybody will be richer
sort of maybe, right.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
Yeah, yeah, I always thought if they wanted the residential ways,
just go ahead and write it's like to fifty dollars
an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
Sure, and it's gonna be And look, you know, I
mean listen, Stan, you know what I think Stan does?
Stan is deserving of something? Stan? Can I can I
tell you something that I think that I think you're
deserving of I don't know if you've been I don't
know if you've been listening to the show the whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
You may not have.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
And that's okay. We're still friends. And people don't know
this yet. But they have come up with a brand
new smoothie. Have you heard about the new smoothie that's
coming out?

Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
I have not heard.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Okay, this this smoothie that is coming out. People may
not have heard this. Hines and Smoothie King have teamed
up to make ketchup smoothies. No, No, they've got they've
got incredible things in there. They've got they've got absolutely incredible.
So so here's here's what's the what's made. It's made from. Okay,

(01:16:42):
because this is you should know this too, because maybe
it'll it'll jar you into wanting to drink this. It's
it's it's a whole bunch of berries. It's like Ashi
berries and all these other things and and these just
these delicious sorts of things, and then they put ketchup
in it, so you're not really knowing that you're drinking
the ketchup. It's more like a tangy. It's like a

(01:17:03):
tangy sort of a blend. It's got ashi sorbet, crisp
apple juice, juicy strawberries, tart raspberries, and the unmistakable taste
of hines simply ketchup and you can drink that. Isn't
that delicious?

Speaker 6 (01:17:22):
It was healthy, healthy enough for you.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Maybe you're such an optimist. Thank you, Stan, You're the best.
I always like talking. Yeah, you got it, man, he was.
He was like kind of horrified, and then he kind
of started to make peace with it, and he's like, oh,
you know, I could maybe go Can I get my
hands on that?

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
Yum?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Okay, let's try this in reverse. Would you take the
smoothie and instead of putting ketchup on your cheeseburger, would
you put the smoothie mix on the cheese? What's grosser?
Is it grosser to just drink it? Or is it
grosser to have it on your on your cheeseburger?

Speaker 8 (01:18:03):
Maybe turned it into a bloody mary. Think about that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
That's that's why you got the plan, man.

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
So I got a comment that came our way because
I want to share. I want to I want to
share and be uh, you know, totally transparent with all
the different stories that we've got. So we were talking
about that the pickle. I'm sorry, we were talking about
the ketchup smoothie. This is a person who is acknowledging

(01:18:48):
that they had a pickle slushy from Sonic and it
was awesome. That just that doesn't I don't I don't
know about that. Now. I'm not gonna I'm not judging you.
You guys are great, eat what you like, you know,
but I don't know about eating that. That's kind of funky.
That's a little on the funky side. I don't know

(01:19:10):
about that. You guys understand the importance of having infrastructure, right,
are we all basically on board with infrastructure. I'm going
to give you an example of terrible infrastructure. Horrible infrastructure.
I've got a clip. You have the La water story

(01:19:31):
that I've got for you, because listen to this. This
is happening in the modern age in twenty twenty five.
This is what's happening out on the West coast in
Los Angeles, go.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
But breaking news in the San Fernando Valley, where more
than nine thousand people are sweating out the heat wave
tonight without any running water.

Speaker 10 (01:19:52):
We are learning more about what caused this major water
outage and what those residents can do to stay safe
and hydrated for the next few two days. Katla's Rachel
Menotov Droids is live from Granada Hills with the story
rachel us.

Speaker 8 (01:20:07):
Scher Micah.

Speaker 11 (01:20:07):
This is impacting people here in Granada Hills, Northridge and
Porter Ranch. Some people have lost water completely. Others are
anticipating that their water will be shut off at some
point tonight, and city officials are urging that people can
serve their water resources by turning off your sprinkler systems,
refraining from using things like your dishwasher, your washing machine.

(01:20:28):
You can see this long line of cars here behind us.
People throughout the day have been coming by to pick
up those plastic water bottles to tie them over. In
the meantime, Mayor Bass says she is deploying those high
capacity pumps. She's also adding fire and police resources to
the area. I listen to what she said this afternoon.

Speaker 12 (01:20:50):
Late last night, the councilman and I made it very
clear to our general managers that this needed to be
fixed immediately and that in the meantime time we will
do all we can to support families that are impacted.
That includes our seniors and those who have disabilities living
in the area.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
Okay, so how did this happen? According to LEDWP on Tuesday, crews,
we're fixing a pump station that connects to a ten
million gallon water tank that serves the area. That's when
a valve that controls the flow of water from the
pump station to a tank failed to open, cutting off
water supply. During the repairs, they are going to try

(01:21:32):
to divert water from other resources to this area. The
broken system is impacting Rinaldi Avenue to the south, Balboa
to the east, DeSoto West, and Foothills to the north.
And in the meantime, there are three water pickup sites
available to people from seven am to seven pm, including
Holly Burnson Memorial Park in Northridge and here at oh

(01:21:55):
Melviny Park in Granada Hills. Some very long lines of
people waiting to stock up today with those water bottles,
and during some of the hottest summer days, people say
a lack of water is not only a pain, it's
also pretty dangerous too.

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
So hot, and I mean, like we can't shower, we
can't cook, Like I don't even know how I'm gonna
get through the day.

Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
But it is what it is.

Speaker 8 (01:22:20):
I could complain, but I'm thankful that we have resources
like this. No water, I couldn't take shower.

Speaker 4 (01:22:26):
My wife couldn't take shower, so if she had to
go to work, so she didn't wait.

Speaker 8 (01:22:29):
But not drinking water, So we have to deal with it,
I guess.

Speaker 11 (01:22:36):
And crews have already started excavations to repair the valve,
which is twenty feet below ground. This takes between fourteen
and sixteen hours and only then can they go in
and actually make the repairs. They're hoping to sort this
all out by this Friday. That's the very latest in
Granada Hills. I'm Rachel Menotov, share M I got back
to you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
So this started on Tuesday and they're not going to
get it anywhere near fixed until Friday. And but don't
worry because you can pick up water from seven a m.
To seven pm. All right, So hypothetically, let's say we're
here and we have no water. What what time do

(01:23:18):
you get off tonight? Lalani? Okay, you can't get any water. Sorry,
they're only seven to seven. There's nobody like any Nobody
works late, nobody gets home late. What what the heck?
There's a modern city.

Speaker 8 (01:23:34):
You know, I'm a good old country boy, So I'm
gonna tell you what my grandmother would have told me was.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
That drink is bad. Oh, or you could have the pickle,
the pickle sonic drink. But but the thing is, it's like,
this is a modern society. Oh, where's the where's the
where's the valve twenty feet below us? You know, I'm
gonna tell you something. Does anybody remember what I was

(01:24:00):
telling you guys last week about the uh about the
earthquake that happened over in Russia. Ye, it was an
eight point nine or whatever it was. Okay, what do
you think it does? When the earth is shaken and
shimmying like that, Valves get stuck in the dirt. Okay,
it's like what are you doing? You know? My wife

(01:24:22):
couldn't take a shower.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
I mean, it's just this is just we're gonna have
to live with this. It's just what no, no, did
you hear Karen Bass? Karen Bass? I mean she she
knows exactly what to say. She says, I told them
to put it back on immediately. There's no immediately. They
barely have water. And you know what, let me tell
you something, because this I believe this how I lived

(01:24:46):
in the Bronx, I lived in Los Angeles. I understand
how people kind of try to articulate and try to
get people to believe things. But I promise you, about
six point fifty at night, just before seven o'clock, you're
gonna have roving gangs stealing all the water and selling

(01:25:07):
it or do or doing door dashing or whatever. I
don't want to try to I'm not trying to be
that way with a company, but I mean, you know
what I'm saying, They're gonna be like, hey, we got water.
I got you nice, I got a sixteen ounce bottle
of water. Thirty bucks, you can have it. They're gonna
be I'm telling you, they're gonna be like reselling it

(01:25:28):
in the neighborhood. Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Do not do that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Look when we were in Spain, honest to God, when
we were in Spain, it was super hot. It was
like a ninety eight degrees and people were coming up
to us and saying, hey, do you want water, And
they were selling water to people. Okay, they were selling
water to the people. They were recycling plastic bottles of

(01:25:58):
like yes, people were drinking it. And then they were
going and just putting what new water in an old container.
That's this is why everywhere I go, everywhere I go,
everywhere I go, I carry with me at least three canteens,

(01:26:22):
because I learned the lesson from the good, the bad,
and the ugly. Okay, I remember that movie, and I
remember what he said, if you save your breath, I
do believe you could cross the desert.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
That's just what I do.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
They're not visible, but I have them.

Speaker 8 (01:26:38):
Hold on, sir, let me this.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
How come this? How come this top came off so gently?
This is crazy? Oh, we must have opened it for me.

Speaker 5 (01:26:50):
Radio has changed our lives, and the change our lives.

Speaker 6 (01:26:56):
Radio changed our lives.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
On the radio right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
We believe. I'm gonna tell you about radio News Talk
eleven ten, nine to nine, three WBT. It's the Brettwaable Show.
It is great to be with you as we continue
to soldier on looking at all the storylines that are
going to be coming in the next hours of time.

(01:27:26):
And one of the things that we should definitely keep
an eye on is, as I mentioned at the beginning
of the program, the challenge that's going to be coming
with what's happened with the decision to go into Gaza
that was announced very early today in the beginning of
the broadcast, and BB Netanyahu has said that they are

(01:27:48):
going to go in and they are going to fight,
and they are going to take over what's going to
be happening there at in Gaza. And you know, I
believe listening to what he said, that they are going
to push no matter what basically the storyline went. Israeli
Prime Minister bb net Nyahu has confirmed his plans for

(01:28:11):
Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip, marking
a major shift in policy nearly two decades after Israel
withdrew from the region. In an exclusive interview with Fox News'
Bill Hammer, net Nyahu said the move is aimed at
eliminating Hamas and eventually transferring governance to Arab authorities. So

(01:28:36):
he is not saying he wants to take and keep it.
He's saying he wants to take it and then hand
it off to Arab authorities who want to be in
charge of that piece of real estate. He said, we
want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza

(01:28:56):
from the awful terror of Hamas in order to assure
our security. Removing Hamas there enable the population to be
free of Gaza and to pass it on to civilian governance.
Now there's only a few options for that governance. Right,

(01:29:19):
it's not going to be given to I don't believe
it to be given to Egypt. What's going to happen well,
NETANYAHUU insisted Israel is not planning to occupy Gaza for
the long term. He emphasized the need for a lasting
security presence and the dismantling of Hamas. The only way

(01:29:42):
that you're going to have a different future is to
get rid of the Neo Nazi army. Hamas are monsters,
he said. Nearly two years after the October seventh attacks,
about fifty hostages, both dead and alive, remain trapped in Gaza.

(01:30:02):
Netanyahu's plans come as a ceasefire and a negotiation with
Hamas have stalled in recent weeks. US Special Envoy to
the Middle East, Steve Wikoff, has previously expressed optimism about
the talks, but the progress has since stalled. Israeli security

(01:30:26):
Cabinet met Thursday to discuss the future of the war
and the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. The United Nations
and the other international groups have warned of famine and
deteriorating access to necessary supplies in the region. So one

(01:30:47):
of the challenges with what's happening here is that you
are attempting and this is this is almost impossible for
anybody to attempt. I think even the United States would
have a difficulty in this regard because what you're doing
is you're taking a population of people amongst whom there

(01:31:10):
are terrorists, and amongst whom there are not terrorists, and
you're basically trying to build while tearing down. At the
same time, you're having to take care of the population

(01:31:31):
that is that are innocent people, right, hundreds of thousands,
a million, innocent people who are stuck in the mire
of what's happening with Hamas. Hamas doesn't want, Hamas doesn't
care about whether the people in Gaza live or die.

(01:31:52):
They're using them as human shields, like we've seen so
many times in various conflicts. So what ends up happening
here is you have to go into the fight. You
have to fight the bad guys, not hurt the innocence.

(01:32:14):
And then on top of that, you're on a mission
to go and find whatever and whoever the hostages that
are still there. They think there's maybe twenty that are
still alive. And there are a number of people who's
who have lost their lives, and the Israelis want to
obviously repatriate them and bring them bring them back to

(01:32:39):
their families if it's possible. So you're basically building, You're fighting,
and then you're rebuilding. Now I don't know, I mean,
I'm not somebody who's anywhere of anywhere near an expert
on this issue, but the things that are going to

(01:33:01):
have to happen for that to go right are going
to be It's going to be unbelievable because what will
happen is, I think Hamas will start to kill I'm
certain they're going to kill the folks who have nothing
to do with their cause. They're going to say, listen,

(01:33:23):
we're gonna kill civilians because they need that to be
on the news. And that is a horrible, horrible thing.
The shame of this is that once you hand this
over to some person at some point, which is what
the theory is of the case here, how many years

(01:33:45):
is it going to take to rebuild and then how
long will it be before Hamas comes back in? Because
these are these are irregular warfighters. These are not people
who wear uniforms. These are not people who go by
the rules of the law of war or any of
those sorts of things. They are very comfortable killing civilians.

(01:34:09):
We've seen it, and unfortunately the people who are stock
in the middle have no way out. That's the scary thing.
I don't know about you, but I think it's incredibly
important for us to pray that peace comes quickly and

(01:34:33):
that lives are preserved. Thanks to Lannie and nick Anna
and Pam. Breaking with Brett Jensen comes up next. I'll
talk to you tomorrow. New's Talk eleven to ten nine
nine three WBT
