Speaker 1 (00:16):
It is the Brett Winterbull Show, News Talk eleven ten
ninety nine to three WBT. It is great to be
with you. Seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten.
I want to point something out just right out of
the box here. This is what winning feels like. And
I'm serious about this. I know that people have been

(00:36):
sort of on the ragged edge when it comes to
what it is that's going on in Washington, DC. And
I understand that, and I understand there's a whole lot
of uncertainty and people are worried that they're not going
to get paid, they're not going to get their checks,
they're not going to be able to, you know, get
everything squared away by the time Thanksgiving comes. But let

(00:59):
me ask you a direct question. Would you rather have
it the other way? Would you rather have it the
other way? Because I was talking to a friend of
mine who admittedly is a little bit on the squishy
side in terms of the you know, I just I
just I don't. I'm not comfortable with the with the shutdown,

(01:21):
and I don't I don't know. I don't know what
to do. I don't know what position to take in
this thing. It's just it's one of those things. I
just wish it would all just go back back the
way it was. No, no, no, we do not want
it to go back the way it was. If it
is uncomfortable for you, that is good, that is good.
We should be uncomfortable when it comes to all of

(01:42):
the stuff that we're talking about. And do you not understand?
Not not you. Most of this audience is right on
board with what we're talking about. But my gosh, we
are on the precipice of running Chuck Schumer out of
politic and we didn't really have to do anything except

(02:03):
take all those votes that the Democrats decided that they
were going to self immolate. They decided, well, what we're
gonna do is we're gonna shut everything down and we're
gonna demand everything we want. What the Democrats do not
understand in this, in this reality that we're talking about,

(02:24):
is that they gained nothing. They gained nothing. Yes, okay, Virginia,
Big whoop, big whoop. I said three weeks ago when
I was talking to my good friend John Ashbrook, and
he said, they're going to keep it shut down because
they want the the the liberal folks who work in

(02:49):
Virginia to be pushing for the sword and all that
kind of stuff. We won this thing, we did, and
it's a little bit uncomfortable. Yeah maybe, but my goodness,
we have potentially gotten the seven to ten split. We're
getting rid of Nancy Pelosi, and very likely in any moment,

(03:13):
Chuck Schumer's gonna get run. I don't think he's long
for that job. And my gosh, can you imagine if
we got Nancy Pelosi out of the picture, Chuck Schumer
out of the picture, and on top of that, Hakeem Jeffries,
Because Hakeem Jeffries is no great shakes here. He didn't
do anything. He's just out there lamb basting and yelling

(03:35):
and being mad and all this kind of stuff that
does nothing for the government to be reopened. Right, Schumer
broke it. Schumer broke it, and it could take months
to get the airlines in the perfect position. At a minimum,

(03:58):
you will be lucky by Thanksgiving to sort all this
stuff out because people haven't gotten paid yet, and people
are still gonna go and sit on their fanny until
they get a paycheck. See, this is what I think
is very interesting. Because they always like to say about
Donald Trump, he's an oath, he's a bad guy. He
doesn't know what he's doing. All he had to do

(04:18):
was send in John Thune to take the votes, and
that that's all he had to do. And suddenly over
a period of time, My gosh, it's remarkable to think
about how this game was played. But I still am
shocked when people say, I don't know, I don't really

(04:40):
feel really good about this. Well, how would you like
to feel Would you like to feel better if we
threw out another one hundred trillion dollars in worthless spending
going nowhere? This is the lesson that has got to
be taken. And I'm serious about this. The only way
you can do this obamac model thing that they were

(05:01):
trying to do is if you deport every illegal out
of the country and they don't have the ability then
to get access with these fraudulent things that we've been
talking about. See, you have to have a sealed border,
and you have to have deportations of twenty million, right

(05:22):
because that's the number that everybody believes is actually the case.
And then you can do the thing with the medical care,
and then you can do the thing with the plans,
and then you can do those sorts of things. But
as long as the pipeline is wide open and people
are walking across the border, which they're not. They're not,
and we know that it's not going to change. We

(05:44):
are going to impoverish our children and our grandchildren. Do
you like free stuff? Sure, free stuff is great, until
it's not just All I want want to see happen.
All I want to see happen is competency. Take the helm.

(06:06):
Competence taking the helm. That's what I want to see.
I absolutely want to see that setup. We are dealing
with dopes, dupes, goofs, people who have absolutely no business
in being anywhere near power with the big people.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
We are.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Surrounded by actual wackos. You want me to give you one,
I'll give you on Can I can? I? Can I
drop a clip? Do I have time for a clip? Okay?
Give me CUTT number fourteen. This is clean, It's all good.
This is Brandon Johnson and he's got a plan. He's

(06:51):
got a plan. He's appealing to the United Nations to
come into Chicago to intervene against the United States cut
number forty.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
And is asking the United Nations to intervene to stop
your operations. Here is what he said before the UN
Human Rights Council, listen to this.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
The federal government's immigration enforcement has been marked by violence
and an assault on the dignity of all Chicagoans. I
call on this Council to hold the Federal government of
the United States to the same standards of accountability you
apply elsewhere in the world. No country should be above
international law. Urge the Human Rights Council to consider additional

(07:36):
measures of accountability, including a special session to examine the
worsening human rights crisis in the United States.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Tom this is just pure lunacy.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
But what is your reaction to all of that?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Just proving he's not that smart, right, I mean asking
the United Nations to asking the United Nations to inter
with ICE enforcing US law. It's like asking an arson
is how to stop a fire. Because UN member the IOM,
the part of the UN help fund the mass migration
during the Biden administration four years, spending millions upon millions

(08:15):
of dollars hoping that migration, international migration comes to the
United States.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
So you know, the United.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Nations is not going to tell President Trump what to do.
President Trump was put in office on the promise making
this country safe again, on the promise of having the
historic deportation operation. That's exactly what America is getting.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Every criminal alien.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Ice and Borbital takes off the street makes this country safer.
We have the most secure border in the history of
the nation right now because of leaders President Trump, the
men and women, the Borbital, and because Ice, what Ice
is doing in the interior. Every day, they've sent a
message across the globe, don't spend your life savings across
the border legally, think you're going and get away. In
the United States because of what Ice is doing, people

(08:58):
aren't spending their life saving He's putting the sults in
harms way. Thousands of people aren't dying making that journey.
Thousands of Americans aren't dying from Fatanhl because that's secured border.
But the actions of the interior, the Ice and Borbital
has a lot to do why we had the most
secure border in history of the station today.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
And you do so, tell me what do you want?
Tell me what you want? Tell me do you want
a secure border where we're not bleeding out? I mean,
what what?

Speaker 5 (09:21):
What?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
What do you want? And by the way, has anybody
seen Pritzker in the last two three days, He has disappeared.
What is going on? Yeah, running for the Hill News

(09:49):
Talk eleven ten nine three WBT. For everybody who is
served as veterans, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to
give my my great best wishes to you. See, it's
always kind of difficult because it's three twenty two in
the afternoon. Everybody's been able to wish you guys and
gals the greatness of America, and then I had to

(10:13):
wait until it was the afternoon. So it's like, I
don't want to be like, I'm sure shrift in you.
I'm gonna give you some interesting facts about about Veterans Day.
I can give that for you, Okay, So we all know, right,
was originally our mystics date Armistice Day nineteen nineteen, right,
very very important, especially marking the end of World War

(10:34):
One November eleventh, nineteen eighteen, the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month. And then we renamed
it nineteen fifty four after World War Two. In the
Korean War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the legislation to
name Veterans Day to honor veterans of all wars. Federal

(10:57):
holiday status kicked in It became a federal holiday in
nineteen thirty eight and was briefly moved to October in
the nineteen seventies. Who was like smoking the grass that
they would move the date it's supposed to be November
November or I mean, I know there's these people. This
is why I say all the time, I am very
much anti tinkerer. The tinkerers cause problems. Oh let's move

(11:22):
it a month this way, a month that way. No no, no, no,
you leave it where it is. So we've got over
eighteen million veterans currently living in the United States. One
point nine million are women, by the way. And the
states with the largest veteran populations yeah, California one point

(11:43):
eight million, Texas one point seven million, Florida one point
six million. But here's here's where it gets interesting, because
I always love to go back and think about the
entire horizon of a veterans day. Forty one million Americans
have served in the United States military since the nation's

(12:06):
founding in seventeen seventy five, forty one million people. That
includes service across all the branches and the eras, and
from the Revolutionary War to today's all volunteer Force total

(12:26):
served more than forty one million and women men and
women have worn the uniform of the US Armed Forces.
Living veterans today as of twenty twenty three, that's the
last possible one that I could see. There are approximately
between fifteen point eight and eighteen million veterans, representing about

(12:49):
six percent of the adult population. So I always like
to look at the stats. So in the Revolutionary War,
about two hundred and seven teen thousand people served in that.
In that fight, Civil war, they only count the Union
Forces two point two million, World War one four point

(13:12):
seven million, World War two sixteen million, Korean War five
point seven million, Vietnam eight point seven million, Gulf War
seven point eight million, and then Post nine to eleven
three million. And every one of these people, every one
of these people served this country so admirably, and we

(13:33):
should always remember the very very important nature of this.
You know, this, This is what we've this is what
we have to do. We have to recognize all of
this and all of these folks, because but for them,
we would be speaking German, but for them we might

(13:54):
be speaking Japanese. But for them we might be speaking
Russian or even worse, even worse, you want, you want
to know what would be even worse. This is a shocker.
Think about this. So we might have ended up speaking German.

(14:14):
We might have ended up speaking Japanese. We might have
we might have been in a place where we where
we were speaking you know, you just name it. Viet Vietnamese.
I mean Vietnam could have they could have, They could
have tried to come this way, could have had a problem.

(14:35):
You know who else? War on terror? We could we
we could have been speaking we could have. It could
have been horrible in a very very you know, ugly
kind of way. But there's only one other one that's
even worse, that's even worse, like I just the one
that you would not know. I'm not talking about North Korea.

(14:56):
Stop that North Korea is not going to take us.
We could have failed. The system could have failed. The
system could have brought us to our absolute brink had
the war not gone the way it did. No, not

(15:18):
the War of eighteen twelve. But that's a pretty good one.
They burned down our White House. I'll tell you this
right now. Scariest thing of all. We could have been
speaking English from the Brits. Oh Chip Chip Chidio, Hello there,

(15:52):
des talk eleven, ten ninety nine three WBT Oh, look
at this. President Trump is said to propose opening California's
coast to oil drilling. Now, that's one way to get
attention from Gavin Newsom. That's that's something that we can
we can look into here. I think we ought to
be We should not put stuff off limits. If if,

(16:15):
if the federal if the federal processing is available, we
should be doing it. President Trump said he wants to
propose opening California's coast to oil drilling. Governor Gavin Newsom,
a chief critic of the president and an opponent of
oil exploration in the Pacific, called the proposal dead on arrival.

(16:41):
Be careful. The Trump administration's plans allow new oil and
gas drilling off the coast of California for the first
time and roughly four decades. According to three people briefed
on the matter, the move would set up a confrontation
with Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who has fought offshore drilling

(17:05):
and who has emerged as one of President Trump's chief
political antagonists. I don't believe that. I think Trump looks
at him as a non factor. The governor went to Brazil,
he went to Brazil. You want to know why he
went to Brazil because he had to go to Brazil

(17:28):
for the United Nations Climate Summit. Isn't that nice? He
flew all the way down to Brazil, where he's drawing
a contrast between himself and mister Trump, who denigrates efforts
to fight global warming. Then why does it always happen
that you have to go and attend in person in Brazil,

(17:51):
or in Europe, or in any of these places. I
would have thought that Gavin Newsom would be like a
modern day version of of how dare you? How dare you?
Greta Tunberg? But Greta Tunberg was going all over the place,
all over the place. The Interior Department could announce the

(18:12):
proposal as soon as this week, according to the three
people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they're
not authorized to comment publicly. That's the write up over
at the New York Times. So here's the thing. When

(18:32):
asked about the proposal on Tuesday, mister Newsom rolled his
eyes and did jazz hands. He does these jazz hands things.
I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He's a
very very strange guy. He's a very very odd guy,
and it's one of those challenges that you have to
kind of figure out. Robert, Welcome to the program. What's

(18:55):
on your mind?

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Robert, Hey Brett. Every single night you bring a dog.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I try, I try. I don't have a I don't
have a kettle filled with fish. But I saw yours
and I was very jealous.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yes, yes, well, by the way, I said that in yesterday,
but I had written a little note before the picture,
so I had written that the day before yesterday, at
about four point thirty, I was fishing while wearing shorts,
and then yesterday we had flurry. So it's kind of
a kind of the interesting time of weather here in
this great Charlotte area.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Indeed, that's the reason.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
And by the way, I did, I caught that nice
bass two days ago at about four thirty, so holy cow,
I had to share it.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
There you go. So what's on your mind today?

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Yes, sir, you were talking about the seven ten split
earlier in the self immolation that the Democrats are seemed
to be doing right now with Pelosi, She's gonna be gone. Kem.
Jeffreys is on thin eight, as you said, Yes, Chuck shoot,
Chuck Schumer is.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
He's he's he's finished his leadership. Yeah. Sure.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
But regarding Hakeen, I saw him today speaking with Wolf Blitzer. Yep,
and he uh, he said, in fact, he doubled down
on her. He was he said it, and then he
and then he was given a chance to retract and
and clarify.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Twice.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
He said that our Supreme Court is corrupt, and he
mentioned he mentioned Alito and Thomas by name, and I,
you know, I would again, I'm a little bit naive sometimes, Brett,
but I would like to think, yes, yes, our our
court does lean to the right. I think it's fair
to say.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
But but but I do believe that our court. I
know they confer. I know those nine justices confer with
each other, and I would like to believe that they
are not corrupt.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I don't think, to be honest, I don't think that
they're corrupt. Even when it was Ruth Bader Ginsburg on
the court, or or you know, any any of those folks.
I don't think that they're corrupt. Because if it if
it became known that the Supreme Court is corrupt or corrupted,

(21:14):
these people would never be able to show their faces
around town. Because DC is a small. I mean, DC
is is a very small piece of territory, and everybody
has to see each other, and they go to the
same parties, they go to the same meetups, they do
all that kind of stuff. And if they were corrupt,
I think I think it would be it would be

(21:37):
it would be a crisis. Okay, it would be a crisis.
But Jim James Carville is running around all over the
place saying he wants thirteen justices on the Supreme Court.
He wants to pack the court with thirteen justices so
that the Republicans never have a have a majority again.
And you know that's that's James Carville. But that's that's

(21:58):
what he wants to do.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
They are laying the groundwork for removing the filibuster. I'm
a traditionalist, I believe. I think, again, all things being equal,
all things being non corrupt, as much as they can be,
I think the filibuster should be maintained. But they they
are held bit I think because they are just They

(22:20):
are furious. You can tell when you watch when you
watch a keem he is furious. And it's hard to
think straight when you're when you're that emotion.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Why do you think he's that mad.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Oh, he's mad because he's he and his party are
getting throttled by President Trump pretty much every day. They
and they know they're getting beaten. Okay, and they have
at least another year of misery.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, But hold on, why is Hakeem Jeffries mad? Like
if you if you think about this right for a minute,
what was the big what was the big scandal about
two three weeks ago? The sombreros Remember the sombreros. Do

(23:07):
you remember the sombreros? Dude, the sombreros.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Trump?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Trump did it. He deployed that thing. And then and
then Jade Vance was deploying that thing. And then there
were people who were deploying that thing. And I'm telling
you right now, I'm telling you, right now, a man
who had a sombrero affixed to their their heads, even
that it would even be, even it being virtual. That's

(23:35):
when you started to see the crack where people were going,
come on, this is bad. We just won this election, uh,
in this last cycle, and now suddenly Chuck Schumer's messing
everything up. This is a bad deal. So that's why
I say I think all three of them are in trouble.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Yep. And by the way, that you could go all
the way back to Josey Alex Paedilla calling him jose
He's not gonna forget that either. And yes, they are.
They are so, they are so they're so prone to
taking these memes and taking these espasically.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
It's trash talk, that's what it is. So you have
to bring you have to get a bigger boat, or
you have to get a bigger canon, or you gotta
get you know, you got to figure out how you're
gonna do it. But here's the problem, the difference between
what Trump is doing and what and what the Democrats
are doing. The Democrats are very sensitive to not offending anybody.
Trump's default position is offend everybody. And let's see how

(24:36):
this works. And so it's a mismatch, I mean, it
is an this is this is like Kansas, the Kansas
City Chiefs playing a Pop Warner team. I mean, is
in my in my opinion, in my opinion. But you
know what, do I know, great stuff?

Speaker 6 (24:53):
And I think that's a fair analogy, Brett. And I'll
tell you that next next year if if the House
and or the Senate, yeah change hands, we now we could,
it'll be it'll be a I hope, I hope it
will not be, but I think it may be a
dangerous time.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well I'll tell you this right now. If this thing
starts to go sideways, I look for Fetterman to become
an independent and to and to and to work with
the Republicans. I think he's had enough with the nonsense.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
Kind of another mention. Or by the way, I like
Mansion and I like I like Kirsten Cinema. So yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
They ran them. They ran them off the part, off
the off the game. So there you go, Robert, great call,
appreciate it. News Talk eleven ten, nine nine three w BT.

(25:51):
Let's grab a call here, Trevor. Welcome to the program, Trevor.
You there, Trevor going on, Trevor going twice. Sorry, Trevor.
Let's take a moment and think about Trevor. You can
call back if you want. Seven oh four five, seven

(26:11):
eleven ten. I I do think, and I stand by
what I'm saying here, folks. I do think that the
impact of the sombrero was was a real factor, was
an actual real factor in this in this uh in
this last go round. And I think you're starting to
see a whole lot of people getting moved down the

(26:33):
road who would have otherwise thought you would have thought
they were they were gonna be the next big thing.
But check this out, mom, Doami Hold on a second,
Wait a minute, I got the I got this thing going.
Ignore ignore, there we go. Okay. Mandami has got some
crazy ideas about what he wants to do to the

(26:54):
City of New York. And this is only important to
you and me because it's very likely that people are
going to slide down from there to here. And I
don't know if you want the politics of that being
you know, deployed that way zoron. Mandami's latest hire to
his incoming staff includes the mayor elect's longtime chief advisor,

(27:18):
who had been dubbed the chief architect of Mandami's campaign
proposal to have social workers respond to nonviolent nine to
one one calls in New York City. So what are
we going to do? How are we going to get
this to happen? Okay? The heavily criticized proposal was drummed

(27:39):
up by the Ivy League educated California native Ellie Bisgard.
Church sounds like a law firm. It's just a person,
a relative newcomer affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.
Why don't we just call them socialists? Like, why don't
we have to call them the Democratic Socialists. I just

(28:00):
think that they're socialists. I mean, it's pretty clear, and
there shouldn't you shouldn't be offended by that. Biscard Church
was tapped by Mundami Monday to once again be his
chief advisor while running the helm of New York City's
City Hall, after serving in the same post during his

(28:21):
campaign during the State Assembly days. So what are they doing.
They are developing the Department of Community Safety. This is
gonna go so bad. Please understand, folks, this is going
to go so bad. It aims to replace police officers

(28:45):
with mental health professionals to deal with non life threatening emergencies,
with a focus on subway stations. It's getting worse. Listen
to this. Bisguard reportedly spoke to mental health experts, public
safety officials from other cities, and former New York City

(29:09):
Police Department people. They are going to spend one point
one billion dollars. They're going to take that out of
the budget and they're going to put that into helping
people that are not threatening. How do you know somebody

(29:30):
is threatening or not threatening. How can you assess that
over the phone in an apartment like this is this
is a problem that is going to just go horribly wrong.
In addition to leading Mandami's much maligned Department of Community
Safety proposal, Biscuard Church was a key player in setting

(29:54):
up weekly standing meetings with the DSA chapter throughout the
campaign to incorporate leadership from the groups that helped Mandami win.
So what we're doing here is we're saying, hey, everybody,
gather around. Gather around. It's going to be wonderful. We're
gonna be great. It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be phenomenal.

(30:15):
That's that's right. We're all socialists. Now, this is this
is one of those people. I've run into them over
the course of my life. These are like the true believers.
These are the people who are like part of the cult.
Not not in the good kind of way, meaning the band,
the cult, but but this is like you're part of
the cult and you're gonna say, oh yeah, I'm just

(30:37):
gonna talk to you right there. It's gonna be all right.
Does anybody remember die Hard? Does anybody remember die Hard?
And that and that seminal moment in which he says, no,
don't do that. You get away, get away, and then
nels sudden they shoot him and you go boom and
down goes the dynamite. It's hard, it's horrible. But the

(31:05):
problem is they're all gonna come to your neighborhood. They're
gonna they're gonna slide down ninety five, make that turn
head on into Charlotte. Got them, you got the infrastructure,
got the trains. Let's have the community, Community of Communities.

(31:39):
News Talk eleven ten out of nine three WBT, It's
the Brett Winnable Show. It's good to be with you.
Very very happy Veterans Day to each and every one
of you who've served. It is a pleasure to uh,
to to know you, the folks that I've gotten to
know throughout the throughout the years and stuff like that.
It's it's really uh, it's very very uh inspirational, and

(32:00):
I know that in a lot of ways it becomes
a very challenging reality in your life. But we do
feel very very good for all of the stuff that
you do for us and have done for us. So
God bless each and every one of you. Let's I
want to let you hear something that I think is

(32:21):
particularly interesting. I was talking to you a couple of
minutes ago about Gavin Newsom, and I was talking about
how Donald Trump is talking about maybe wanting to drill
for oil off the coast of California. Let's go to
cut number nineteen. Gavin Newsom very very very unhappy about

(32:42):
so much stuff. Cut nineteen, please go home.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
Values will start to decline. You're seeing it across the
spectrum right now. In my state included, which is one
of the most blessed and cursed states as it relates
to climate, we're on the tip of the sphere of
climate change, simultaneous droughts and simultaneous floods. The hots are
getting a lot hotter, the dry is drier. You saw

(33:07):
one of the most devastating wildfires in American history in
the middle of winter in Los Angeles in January. One
hundred mile hour winds attached to fire. And as we rebuild,
the number one concerned people have how do I get
my home insured? You're not rebuilding, And how do you

(33:27):
get a developer to develop a home that can't get
a mortgage which requires home insurance?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
You don't care so from across.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
The spectrum, from financial risk to the issue cost of living,
which is universal, to global competitiveness. This is a no brainer.
As I say, what Trump is doing is unprecedented in
American history?

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is it really? Is it? Is it really? Gavin? You
are so full of it? You are so full of it, Gavin.
And let me tell you something. You ever have to
move out of the house and you get your friends altogether,
and they're gonna help you move out of the house.
And they they say, okay, okay, Well we'll be there
at ten o'clock in the morning. And everybody's kind of

(34:14):
like taking stuff out of the out of the house
to load up onto the truck or whatever it is
you got to put it in. Gavin Newsom is the
guy who pretends who pretends to carry the couch. He
just has his hands on it, but he's not really
lifting it. Everybody else is lifting. And I can give
you a perfect example of this. Lee Zelden. Lee Zelden's

(34:37):
the EPA boss. He runs the EPA and he spoke
some hard truths about Gavin Newsom and the loser that
this guy is listen to this. This is cutting number
twenty two. Get a load of this go.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom need to get off of
theirs and allow all of the people in Los Angeles
to rebuild their freaking homes and their businesses. Okay, you
have people who are suffering extreme amount of frustration, anger,
and pain because of whatever type of bureaucratic red tape
delays and incompetency is resulting in these the local and

(35:19):
state leadership preventing people from building. What is theirs. They
lost everything, They lost their homes, they lost their businesses,
and now they just sit there and wait and they
don't even know when it's going to end. It is
in competency. And for these people who live there who
lost everything, the most important thing that you can give
them is to instantly allow them to rebuild their lives.

(35:42):
And you're denying them right now.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
This mayor and this.

Speaker 8 (35:45):
Governor out in California are denying the residents of Los
Angeles the most basic need when you lose everything in
a home fire, the ability to rebuild. What is your dream?
What is your family? Now there are people who have
decided that they're gone. They're never going to look back.
They're done with California. But you have a whole lot
of people who are in Los Angeles. When I visited

(36:08):
the week after confirmation, I was going to people's homes
where they had contractors at their property right then and
there at let's talk about the first week of February
of twenty twenty five. They have contractors at their site
to be able to rebuild their home and to be
able to forget what just happened, leave it in the
past so that they can move forward. And those people

(36:29):
are still sitting there with contractors waiting for approvals from
a competent mayor and an incompetent governor. And the rhetoric
that we hear from Governor Newsom where he's saying that
President Trump is somehow the reason the federal government. We
have completed everything. There's nothing left waiting for EPA sign off.

(36:54):
There's nothing else waiting on us. There's nothing else waiting
for Army Corps of engineers. So I know that it's
very important for everyone tuning in from Los Angeles. We
have certainly heard your voice. We've heard your passion, we've
heard your frustration, we've heard your anger, and we stand
with you. The Trump administration. President Trump, we've heard it
from him directly. We stand with all the residents of

(37:17):
Los Angeles who want to be able to rebuild, and
then they're just waiting for permission from their incompetent leadership
who are denying them the right to.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Rebuild because they want it to be like four by
eight and you know, mass sort of things. They don't
want people to have property. This is a big part
of this. Watch what Mandami does. Mandami is just a
symptom of these people. When you have Mundami, when you

(37:47):
have Newsome, when you have Pritzker, when you have all
of these goofy people that are supposedly supposed to be
in charge, you watch, you see what happens. Jim san Diego,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 9 (38:00):
Jim, Yeah, it's the first step is to get rid
of the SFD anything that has a yard with an
independent perimeter around it. Is that they get you.

Speaker 10 (38:13):
To move into a multiple living situation, yep. And then
they have somebody as they're subordinate, whoever they're subordinate, whoever's
getting the money from the government for the people that
are going to be on assistance from the government that
are subsequently renting. If you're living in a house with

(38:34):
the yard, all it goes all the way around your house,
the garage. Do not give it up. That is the
front line.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
That's great. So in other words, you can't have a house.
You can have a domicile, but you must share your
domicile with like five other people who are on section.

Speaker 10 (38:54):
Date right, and that way they can send everybody a
letter saying you all have to do this. If you
live in a house by yourself, and they send you
a letter to your mailbox and you read it and see,
I don't have to do that, you know, or depending
on you know, disowning.

Speaker 9 (39:11):
Or whatever it is.

Speaker 10 (39:12):
If your house is in good repair, which you most
people that own their houses will take good care of you.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yes, anyways, yes, yes that's true. That's true. But if
you don't own it, if you don't own it, it's
just it'll just fall into repair disrepair.

Speaker 10 (39:29):
Well, there's as a renter, let me give you some advice.
If you're a renter out there and you're renting a
house right now, Yeah, take care of the house as
if you own it. That way, it'll get good reference
for you when you go to buy a house.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
That's good stuff. Jim, I appreciate the call. Jim happens
to be a veteran as well. So guess guess who's
got a book out. Vice President Harris has got a

(40:03):
book out. I know, I know you've been hearing about
the book, but she's finding new and innovative ways to
try to push the book. Here was a this is
cut number eighteen. Vice President Harris. She's now talking about
how she understood everything that Trump was trying to do

(40:26):
to her to stop her all this sort of stuff.
Listen to this cut number eighteen. Go.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I was aware of my opponent's strategy, and I wasn't
about to fall prey or fall into those traps. And
part of his strategy and those around him was to
try and take me off our gang and message. And

(40:55):
I wasn't about to be distracted by those little those
flames that he was trying to throw to get me
away from one of my highest priority, which is talking
to people about the economy and their well being in
terms of their financial well being. And that's so I was.
I understood the game that was being playing, and I

(41:15):
made a decision that I wasn't going to get played
and done. Just not yeah, three dimensional chess. I'm telling you, you.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Know, no I don't I don't see, I don't understand
what you just said. So three dimensional chess, I see.
This has become like a weird cliche in the world
of politics. Politics is, from my opinion, and maybe you disagree.
From my opinion, politics is pretty straightforward. Okay. You get

(41:55):
the most possible support you can. You make promises, you
you fill, you you fill, you fulfill the promises that
you make, and if you're doing a good job, you'll
get reupt But so many people do this, like, hey,
three dimensional chess. Okay, what is three dimensional chess? Like,

(42:18):
tell me with three Somebody said that once upon a time,
and it just sticks. It's like, oh yeah, absolutely, it's uh,
it's three dimensional chess that we're playing here. Okay, so
what are the parts of the three dimensional chess? Okay,
how does that that? That's a weird thing for me.
Three dimensional chess you can't even you can't even work

(42:44):
into this thing that you actually can control. Three dimensional
chess is any chess variant that replaces the two dimensional
board with a three dimensional board, array of cells between
the pieces, and how they can move. Okay, you know
when it was started in the nineteenth century, they've been

(43:07):
doing it since the nineteenth century. That's kind of interesting
because the Democrats were very prolific in the nineteenth century.
In the nineteenth century, that's eighteen hundreds, they were trying
to stop the Republicans from delivering on the promises that
Lincoln made where he said, We're going to emancipate people

(43:28):
who are being held against their will at the hands
of Democrats. So that's kind of interesting. So maybe she's
telling us the truth in a weird way. Maybe she's saying, no,
I am the heir to the three dimensional chess, which
happened in the eighteenth cent In the nineteenth century, it's

(43:49):
just so strange. It's just so weird. And they just
they come out and they put these things like this
is brilliant thought. What did p people want? They wanted
inflation to come down. What else did the people want?
They wanted the border sealed. She couldn't even seal the border, like,

(44:09):
she couldn't even explain the ceiling of the border, none
of that stuff. How about her running mate, her running
mate who said we're gonna run a pick six. Do
you remember when he said that, he claimed on offense
that he was gonna run a pick six. Why would
you want a pick six if you're on offense. That's

(44:32):
a terrible thing to do. I mean, am I wrong?
Maybe that was you know what that was? That was
That was dimensional football chess. That's what That's what he
was doing. Hey, Nick, what do you say we run

(44:53):
a pick six? We we we are an offense and
I want to do a pick six because I'm changing
the board. I'm changing it all up. We are going
to every time I get it, I get the ball,
I'm just gonna I'm gonna take a knee and we're
gonna make ourselves. We're gonna go far, far away, and

(45:14):
then we're gonna start throwing bombs. That's what we're gonna.
I want to get all the way down to the
uh to the to the two yard line, and then
I want to heave it. Now you'll get your pick six.
That's your pick six right there. I the stuff that
these people try to do, they try to appear like
they're brilliant. I mean, seriously, aren't you kind of tired

(45:36):
about that? Aren't you kind of tired about how these
folks are are are doing these things to me? I
think it's pretty straightforward. Look here, here's something I've got
from Alan. All right, So Alan says, my Republican friends
in California tell me Newsome won't allow the clearing of underbrush.

(46:00):
Therefore it's creating the fire danger. Yes, one hundred percent true,
because they believe that those underbrush things are protected species.
The American people did not fall for her and her trap.
We dodged a huge bullet with that woman. Yes, you
are right, And rarely she visited the border, and when

(46:22):
they went to the border, they would sanitize it all.
They would say, oh, look there's nobody here. There's nobody
sneaking across the river. That's really great. See how much
force we have been able to deploy to protect the people. No,
it's nonsense. That's not three dimensional chess. That is dereliction

(46:42):
of duty. The dereliction of duty happened Mons seven four, five,

(47:10):
seven eleven ten, News Talk eleven ten, not a nine
three WBT. All right, So last night there was an
interview that took place between between the President of the
United States and Laura Ingram. And this has gotten some
tongues wagging a little bit here because they went back
and forth on a number of different things. President Trump

(47:33):
is now doubling down on a plan for six hundred
thousand Chinese student visas despite MAGA backlash. That's the way
it's written up over at the Fox News Channel. President
faces pushback from conservatives, including Michael Flynn, over six hundred
thousand dollars six hundred thousand visa plan. President Donald Trump

(47:58):
on Monday defended his administration's planned to offer six hundred
thousand visas to Chinese students, a move that has drawn
criticism within conservative circles. Laura Ingram pressed the President on
the interview at the Ingram Angle and questioned how the
proposal was pro MAGA, if it crowded out spots for

(48:19):
American students, and whether the universities were getting rich from
the Chinese money. Trump argued that foreign students, particularly from China,
are vital to keeping the United States universities financially stable,
adding that cutting the number of Chinese students in half

(48:40):
would cripple the system. Quote, we do have a lot
of people coming in from China. We always have China
and other countries. We also have a massive system of
colleges and universities, and we were to try to cut
that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, but
you would have to cut them in half. For the

(49:02):
colleges and the universities they go out of business. Quote,
I actually think it's good to have outside countries. Look,
I want to be able to get along with the world,
not the French. Though the Chinese they spy on us,
they steal our intellectual property. Ingram shout back. Do you

(49:25):
think the French are better? Trump said, yeah. Ingram replied,
I'm not so sure, Trump said, citing French tariffs. Trump
continued to frame the issue in economic terms, saying Chinese
students pay far more intuition than Americans and help sustain

(49:48):
the system. I don't know what his end game is
on this thing, but here is something that I think
might come into play. They may want to relocate into
the United States. And for them to want to relocate
into the United States at the time at which they
are graduating, you'd have to you'd have to vet them.

(50:10):
You'd have to try to figure out how could how
can they create a benefit for the United States. Listen,
we all know from the last decade plus, uh two decades,
we all remember when you had all of those Chinese
students getting into high end universities, and we knew because

(50:36):
we found out very directly that you had the Confucius
institutes that were all being built on all sorts of campuses.
And one of the things that you have to do
if you're a commie, if you're a commie, and if
your mommy was a COMMI uh what what you have
got to do is you have got to secret information

(50:58):
back home to China, to the People's Republic of China.
You they'll they'll just they'll just come and grab you
and take out and and send you right back to
China if you don't play ball. But what what if
Trump is looking at this and he's saying, okay, okay,
Chiicam's very dangerous. It's a dangerous deal. What if you

(51:23):
flip some of these people. What if they agree to
spy for you. What if you get them to want
to go and reform in the country in China and
all that sort of stuff. Now, I don't know, I
don't know if that's what the game is. But that
is an interesting sort of a byproduct, because I don't
I don't think that Trump is, you know, one of

(51:43):
these guys who's saying, hey, yeah, let's just bring in
a whole bunch of commies into the United States. We've
got a we've got an over growth of commies in
the United States. We've got just regular commies here. You
want to you want to hear an example of a
of a of a of a regular kind of comedy
type guy person. Oh, I'll let you hear it. I mean,
this is really quite something. I'm gonna go to cut number. Okay,

(52:09):
I'm gonna go to cut number seventeen. This is a
radical preacher at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and this guy,
Holy cow, this guy could beat the band over there
in China. Go for it. Cut seventeen.

Speaker 11 (52:26):
America is the cancer America, the American governments, secularism, democracy, capitalism,
These are cancers that have spread their illness all over
the world.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
All right, now, that is somebody who's saying that at
an American university. You think the Chicoms could top that? Ooh,
I bet this guy would be really good. Except for
one thing. This guy's actually talking about radical Islam.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Yeah, he's talking about radical Islam. And here's the thing.
I'm old enough to remember when when we're supposed to
have separation of church and state and all this kind
of stuff. It's a public institution in Chicago. This is
where Bill Errs teaches at the Education Department. And when
you think about this guy, I can't let you, I

(53:18):
can't let you hear the whole thing. But it's just
it's it's it's a drone after a while. This guy,
this guy, he is selling Islam to the people who
are showing up for these meetings. Now, if you went
in there TPUSA and you decided you were going to
set up and you wanted to talk to the people, well,

(53:41):
you would end up probably with a with a baseball
bat over the top of your head while you were
trying to set that thing up. Why, because there's one thing,
there's one thing in common freedom. But he who controls
the micro controls the freedom. And in these universities, they've

(54:06):
got the control. News Talk eleven ten out of nine,
three WVT. It is that time of the week where
we gather together, me and in this case Bo Thomson
joining us here for the crossing of the streams. A

(54:29):
very good afternoon to you, my friend.

Speaker 5 (54:30):
How are you good afternoon?

Speaker 10 (54:33):
Doing well?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
It's uh, it's look, it's it's it's much nicer today
than it was yesterday when we had the flurries and
all that, all that sort of stuff going on. Bo
I mean that was that was something very very interesting
to look at, especially driving home last night.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
It never fails. Uh, we don't usually get it this early.
So whenever it starts snowing for the first time, and
I do mean like it could be just a speck,
social media goes b and bread and milk, there's a
run and people just to freak out. But do you
know today is just today is just an angry cold.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
Yes, it is outside today.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
It's like this is an annoying, kind of off putting cold.
I don't like this this early.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Let me ask you a question. You're you're a runner
and you you were you were going back and forth
to me last night. Do you run when it's cold
like this? Or are you like I'm just gonna wait
another couple of days.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
Bends on the day, Like I try to run three
or four times a week. If it's today, I got
a run, Like yesterday, I braved it. I went out
there and you know, you get going and by the
time it's done, you're you're used to it. But but
today is it my off day? Like I don't want
to go anywhere near outside today.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Yeah, well, no kidding, but yeah, absolutely, that's that's the truth.
Interesting headline that is that is moving here. Uh Border
patrol immigration enforcement expected in Charlotte, according to w CNC
NBC report. The exact timing of the operation is unknown.
According to a Department of Homeland Security official who spoke

(56:05):
on the condition of anonymity, h Charlotte will be the
next city where border patrol will begin an immigration enforcement operation.
The exact timing, obviously, we don't know. They're not gonna
they're not gonna telegraph that. But does this presage something
here bo because people have been wondering if we were
going to see the FEDS come in and try to

(56:27):
deal with crime just generic crime or or on the
rails and things like that. What is this uh? What
does this uh tell us? Looking at this?

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Well, I just put obviously an alert out to a
degree because we've heard this about other cities and you know,
not much follow through, but at least it seems like
every couple of days there's talk about where perhaps you
might see some sort of uh sting or whatever you

(57:00):
would call it, and which metro what would be next
and you know, last week they were talking about Memphis,
and we can talk about the ones the weeks before that,
But I think it's interesting to hear the chatter and
then see if there's follow through, you know, and I'm
not sure I'm convinced there is yet, but we'll have
to see.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Yeah, that is true. Sometimes they will put up the
flag and that doesn't really go with that in that
particular direction. Your thoughts on what we just saw that
happened here with the end of the shutdown or the
process which is going to happen here obviously in the
next twenty four to forty eight hours, your reaction to

(57:38):
that as well. Government's got to be you know, in business.
So how are you sort of processing that storyline?

Speaker 5 (57:47):
Well, I mean, I think I was on with you
about a month ago and you asked me as we
were getting towards the deadline and we didn't know whether
it was going to shut down yet, but we were
wondering if it was, And you said, what's your level
of concerned about this? Do you think it's going to happen?
And I said to you, I I don't think this
story moves the needle the way some people think it does.

(58:07):
Or I think you have to be in a certain
part of the electorate for it to be a big deal. Now,
I understand that has to do with uh, with with
economic issues around your family and whatnot. But I was
also talking about from the standpoint of watching this as
a political story. You and I and and those of
us who work at the station are are political junkies.

(58:27):
I think we'd all agree, and and I said, I'm
not sure this moves the needle for the people outside
of the of what we do, or if you're trying
to make ends meet. However, then it happened, and this
one has sort of taken on a different personality. I mean,
I think yesterday so so in one and that in

(58:48):
that way, I stand corrected. It was much bigger deal
than I thought it was going to be because of
how long it's lasted, I mean record number of days.
But I was watching Sean Duffy on I guess it
was CNN. He was making the round on Sunday mornings.
But I saw him on CNN. It just so happened,
and he made that comment about, you know, if we
get this, this keeps going and we inch toward thanks

(59:10):
Thanksgiving and the Thanksgiving travel ramps up, but it may
be reduced to a trickle. And I think that comment
about from the Transportation Secretary about Thanksgiving travel being affected
in a large way was probably pretty resounding to a
lot of people out there within the government and without
about if we see what it's doing, it's been doing

(59:31):
to airport, to travel and sort of chaos in the
last week or so, you know what happens if all
of a sudden, that's applied to the busiest travel day
or days of the year. And you know, I think
people took note of that, and I think that in
part has sort of motivated perhaps this to you know,
besides to try to come together. But you and I

(59:52):
also both know that it passed the Senate last night.
You know, I heard Hakim Jeffreys yesterday. I've heard again
some of the discourse in the chambers. It's not a
done deal yet, so we'll see if this happens. I
think I think people are motivated on both sides to
make it happen. But then again, we were talking to
Mick mulvaney on our show yesterday about how it kicks

(01:00:14):
it down the road to January and and and now
that we've seen what can sort of flare up with this?
What's going to happen then? If if, if it's averted
right now? These are questions that a month ago I
wasn't thinking about in the same way.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Yeah. Absolutely, And look I was wrong, wrong, wrong, and
I own that. I figured it would just go like
three four days and didn't happen. Who's going to win tonight?

Speaker 5 (01:00:37):
Bo?

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Who's going to win tonight?

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Which game are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Davidson versus Charlotte?

Speaker 5 (01:00:43):
Oh okay, so we'll see. There are several ways you
could go there. You know what, The Wildcats have looked
really good, and I think even better than I thought,
So the Battle of the Hornet's Nest. I got to
go with the Wildcats.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Man, there you go. Man, Oh quick, what do you
got for tomorrow? Real quick?

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
We've got the Labor Commissioner of North Carolina coming up
tomorrow on the show. We've got Brett Winterble on the
show tomorrow. We've got Jim Zochie and everything else you
need to get your day started with Beth and me
at six am.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Thanks for being there, man, I appreciate you. Yes, sir,
you got it. That's Bo Thompson News Talk eleven nine

(01:01:33):
three WBT. It's the Brett wintervill Show. It's good to
be with you. Hour number three underway. By the way,
if you hadn't heard this, I was talking about this
with both Thompson. So, apparently Border Patrol immigration enforcement is
expected in Charlotte, according to NBC News's report. The exact

(01:01:54):
timing of the operation is unknown, according to a Department
of Homeland Security official who spoke with NBC News, so
what does this look like? We don't know what the
exact timing is. They're not going to tell you where
they're going to do these sorts of enforcements, but Charlotte
will be the next big city where Border Patrol is

(01:02:17):
going to begin immigration enforcement operations, according to a report
from NBC News. So going over to that piece, a
spokesperson is disputing reporting now from multiple outlets that US
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bavino and numerous federal agents are

(01:02:40):
preparing to leave Chicago in coming days. Those reports emerged
late Monday and early Tuesday, with multiple outlets, including NBC News,
citing sources indicating Bavino and other agents may be moving
to other cities. They're still working on on what they

(01:03:00):
call Operation Midway Blitz, which is the Chicago component here.
But a senior DHS official told NBC News that Border
Patrol agents are expected to begin operations in Charlotte, North Carolina,
next While the timing of the operation is unknown, it
will follow Bavino's exit from Chicago, which could happen this week.

(01:03:23):
Now they have done a number of operations. They're in Chicago.
They they have been met with, you know, just brutality.
I mean they were getting shot at in the last
couple of days. Really bad stuff. Charlotte I think is

(01:03:43):
going to be something that we should keep an eye
on generally. I think it's an important story that we
should be we should be looking at. So Charlotte according
to the Border Patrol people. But now they're saying that's
not the case. But if you if you drop that
and then you say no, it's not that you know,

(01:04:04):
darn well, it's going to be next Maybe it's not
gonna be tomorrow, but it's gonna be at some point,
and it's gonna be a much easier, I think, a
much easier operation that you've got uh here, relative to Chicago.
I mean, you you had the Latin Kings in Chicago
last night saying that they were going to drop you know,
that they were gonna make it inhospitable for the people there.

(01:04:29):
That that was reported out on Fox News, but the
exact timing of the operation is not known. They don't
know how they're going to do this. But what will
happen and this is this is what I think we're
going to see. You're going to end up with some
people in the hot seat. You've got a brand new
police uh, a person who's in charge of the police.

(01:04:52):
You have an exiting former chief who is heading down
down out of here. In addition, you've got all these
people who have just gotten elected, who are you know,
thinking about the direction of the city and how all
this goes. And then you layer on top of that

(01:05:14):
the situation with the light rail and all that that encompasses.
Because are we going to see people going onto the
light rail who are going to get busted by ice
or whoever it is that's going to be doing these operations.
This is where it gets to be very very complicated

(01:05:34):
top to bottom. But at the same time, all right,
if you are targeting a specific group of people, and
what I mean by that is, look, there are issues
with narcotics here. There are issues with a number of
different things. Seventy seven is a is a major thoroughfare

(01:06:00):
where you can get from down south to get up
all the way to Cleveland and beyond. I mean, this
is all the challenge that we're looking at here with this.
And then at the same time, they're announcing major developments
in the I seventy seven corridor in Charlotte, including I
seventy seven South Express Lanes to add toll lanes between

(01:06:22):
Brookshire Freeway and South Carolina State Line. That's gonna be.
This is gonna be so much fun when they're rebuilding,
when they're building all this stuff, You've already got a
just a congested mess both ways, and now we're gonna
add to more. That's gonna be great. Ah, that's gonna be.

(01:06:45):
That's gonna be. That's gonna be phenomenal. I'm sure it'll
be Okay, I'm sure it'll totally work out beautifully. Beyond
seventy seven corridor study, they're looking for the long term
growth with two hundred and eighty six recommended strategy. Geez,
two hundred and eighty six strategies. Hold on a minute,

(01:07:07):
Wait a minute, I know where this is coming from
Kamala Harris with the three dimensional chess. She's doing three
dimensional chess. Now we're doing three dimensional ice raids and
three dimensional seventy seven buildings, And this is gonna be

(01:07:27):
why don't we just do this? Why don't we just
put it underground like the big dig in Boston. We
just put it all underground. It's just gonna cost us
like thirty seven trillion dollars. But that's okay. Everything will
be underground, and everything will be parks above and all that.
Not really, I just, I just I'm not trying to
be a mean guy. But here was Here was one

(01:07:49):
of the swings that came out of this, one of
the attacks on this potential issues. This was on November
the sixth Highway construction threatens Charlotte's Black neighborhoods. Again, this
is Alexandria Sans with this story that she posted. History
could repeat itself if the state moves forward with a

(01:08:11):
three point two billion dollar preliminary plan to extend I
seventy seven toll lanes along several of Charlotte's Black neighborhoods,
potentially threatening homes, parks, and historic sites. Well, you have
to preserve those things. You have to preserve those sites.
I mean, there's just no two ways about this, and

(01:08:32):
unfortunately it has to be done in a careful way.
You do not want to offend or make people feel
like they they don't have a say in all this
sort of stuff. So we'll have to wait and see
how this all goes. Let's talk eleven, ten, nine and

(01:09:04):
nine three WVT. All right, here's the story that you've
got to hear. I'm kind of worried about this. I seriously,
it's not the space thing. I'll do the space thing
in a minute, don't I have a space update that
we've got. And then at after the bottom of the hour,
we're gonna have Bill Roggio joining us here to tell

(01:09:25):
us about more scary stuff too. By the way, the
Pentagon's largest aircraft carrier arrives in Latin American region as
tensions with Venezuela ramp up. What's the worst that could happen?
What's the worst that could appen? The Pentagon's largest aircraft carrier,

(01:09:47):
the USS Gerald R Ford, and its strike group, arrived
in Latin American region on Tuesday today. According to the
US Navy, the Trump Administration's beefs beefing it up its
military presence in the US Southern Command. USS Gerald R. Ford,

(01:10:11):
carrying more than four thousand sailors and dozens of tactical aircraft,
entered the southcom Area of responsibility after being directed by
the Department of Defense to depart the Mediterranean in late
October for what officials argued was assistance in dismantling the

(01:10:33):
trans national criminal organizations and curbing drug smuggling. Now, hold
on a second right here, because this is where it
gets very interesting. There's a story that I ran across
about an hour and a half ago that said the
Brits are not cooperating with the sinking of these boats,

(01:10:57):
where the allegation is these boats are are taking narcotics
out and trying to kill Americans once they get into
the United States of America. This is this doesn't make
any sense because President Trump's had a pretty okay relationship
with Keir Starmer, and I just I have this feeling

(01:11:22):
that they're worried that the press is going to get
wind that the operations are happening, including the Brits. We
don't need the breat I mean, we don't need the
British operators. We have people there. But it's very interesting
that we now have our biggest carrier and a strike package,

(01:11:45):
and now we're also hearing that the Brits don't want
to be a part of this. I don't know if
I believe that. I mean, I think I understand why
you would say that kind of makes sense. The enhanced
US force presence in the US southcom ao R will
bolster US capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit act

(01:12:08):
actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of
the United States homeland. Now here's the thing we have
to understand that's very important. We still have I do
believe we still have Noriega in a prison in the
United States. Remember we took him down. That was when

(01:12:30):
George Bush, the original George Bush was called. That called
that operation. And so now now is it possible that
we're going to run operations and these people are going
to be scooped up and put into Gitmo or some
other place like that where the leadership Maduro is definitely

(01:12:54):
being targeted. But then he's got a whole bunch of
people beneath him that are that are part of this
And remember why did Donald Trump not get the Nobel Prize?
Do you guys remember what it was? It was because
the the leading voice in trying to liberate Venezuela, that

(01:13:21):
lady won the Nobel Prize. And wouldn't it be interesting
if somehow, in the dark of night you find out
that we have deposed Maduro and his people and suddenly
now she's going to go into that position. Why would

(01:13:44):
I say this? I'll tell you why. Who is the
big swinging guy on the on the on the continent
of South America. Malay Malay Malay is totally pro us.

(01:14:05):
And if you got rid of Maduro and you got
Malay in the position where he is, and we sort
of have a relationship that that's sort of kind of nascent.
At this stage of the game with with Brazil, things
are starting to look a little different. Things are starting

(01:14:28):
to look a little different. This is looking to me
like we're going to clean out the troublemakers. And the
king troublemaker is Meduro. The second king troublemaker is the
guy in Colombia. He's a fark guy. He's a guy
who who is absolutely every bit is bad, maybe worse

(01:14:50):
than Maduro's worldview, and he's been he's been kind of
saber rattling and making a lot of noise. Maybe one
of these things why we have that straight brike package
there and they say, Okay, we're gonna take out, we're
taking Maduro and we're gonna put him in jail, or
we're gonna do whatever we're gonna do, and we'll put
him in the Supermax. And what's gonna happen if you

(01:15:13):
liberate now, just think about this, Think about Florida, think
about the southern environs. Think about what it looks like
if you liberate the people of Venezuela. What does that
look like? Chuck Schumer gonna complain? Hakeem Jeffries, is he

(01:15:34):
gonna complain? Are the Democrats all gonna complain?

Speaker 12 (01:15:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
That guy, that guy deserves to be in power. He's
he's really that's what he should be doing. No, it's
a it's a come on, you know what. You know
what's going on there. Everybody knows what's going on there.
Drug trafficking and they and they they mistreat their people.
I mean, it's the it's the it's the narrative of
the narratives that you hear every time. If you go

(01:16:01):
back to the Cold War model, that's exactly what it was. Granada, Grenada, Hello, Hello, Mada,
Hello Fada. I mean, this is the thing that this is,
this is what we always do. And remember we are
relying on the Monroe doctrine that says stay out of
our neighborhood. And if you want to come in with

(01:16:23):
the COMI stuff, we're gonna turn it around and send
it out. That's what I think is happening. I could
be wrong. I have been in the past when I
said that I thought that the that the shutdown would
be like four days. That was Boy was I wrong.
I was wrong by a factor of ten. That's no good.

(01:16:45):
But on this one, I think it's it's gonna be
something that's that's interesting. The tensions between Washington and Venezuela
have ramped up as Trump administration officials have called Venezuelan
President Nicholas Maduro a illegitimate leader and associated him with
drug trafficking operations in the region. Well, he's getting rich,

(01:17:08):
the rest of the folks are getting poor. This is
a problem. News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine three WBT.
It's my pleasure to welcome back to the program. I

(01:17:31):
always get smarter and we always get smarter when we
have him on the show, despite his Eagles feelings. Bill
Roggio joining us here from the Long War Journal. It's
good to be with you. Bill. Thanks so much for
being on the show today.

Speaker 5 (01:17:46):
Thanks bregg We're all.

Speaker 12 (01:17:47):
Smarter for being Eagles fans.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Oh, hey, my screen, my guy, my producer, Nick, he's
one of them two. I'm surrounded. I'm good. He's a
very good man, right, yeah, he is. He's a good dude.
Let me ask you this question. Looking at this picture
in Africa, there's a number of flare ups that are

(01:18:11):
happening and some stuff that's just absolutely beyond the pale.
Can you help us understand what's going on in terms
of the genocide or what looks like a genocide as
it relates to Christians they're in Nigeria, And is it
possible that we may find ourselves intertwined with this? Bill?

Speaker 12 (01:18:35):
Well, Brat first, I'd like to say that I hope
that we don't find ourselves intertwined in this. We've sure,
you know, the last twenty five years of the War
on Terror, we haven't been able to win conflicts that
are far simpler than what we're witnessing in Africa. These
are very I mean, look, everyone says that about every issue,
but these are extremely complex, often communal issues, communal violence

(01:19:01):
that's occurring. So, for instance, in nigeria's, without a doubt,
the Islamic State and Boko Haram, which is sort of
an Islamic State adjacent type group. They have murdered Christians
in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. That is certainly true, but
there's other violence that's occurring there between. There's this complicated

(01:19:22):
farmer herder dynamic over land and grazing rights, and you
have Christians killing Muslims, Muslims killing Christians, Muslims killing Muslims,
Christians killing Christians. You want to jump in the middle
of something like this. We thought Iraq was difficult, if
we thought Afghanistan was complicated, welcome to Nigeria. I would

(01:19:43):
caution the administration to take care. Going in Bombing the
Islamic State a couple of times isn't going to solve
any of these problems, and in some cases it might
actually drive some Muslims into the arms of the Islamic State.
You know, every problem in the world is not our problem.

(01:20:04):
I do hope we've learned the lessons of the War
on Terror, but I fear we haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
And and and look, there's there's a whole lot of
destabilization that is happening on that on that continent, right,
I mean absolutely, we look at we look at we
can look at Malli, we can look at Sudan or
South Sudan or whatever the whatever it's calling itself. At
this stage of the game, who is who is responsible
for policing this? And and I know it's a crazy

(01:20:31):
question to ask. It's a huge continent. You can hide
in a whole bunch of places, all that kind of
stuff can happen, But we don't want this stuff to
leak out into the Western world, uh, and have people
like you know, Charlie Hebdo happening again and things like that.
Isis is obviously very much still a presence. So what's
what's the what's the answer for this?

Speaker 12 (01:20:54):
Yeah, look, you know, the first line of defense should
be the Nigerian government, but like most African countries, it's
either capable or unwilling, or a mixture of both. Competence.
Then you have continental institutions like the African Union and
Ecoast and others that are out there. And then you know, look,

(01:21:14):
I'll say this, Europe is far closer to Africa than
the United States. And you know, most of these countries
in Africa were former European colonies. Many of the problems
created by them. I just I keep coming back to this, Brett.
You know, look, if you were to talked to Bill
from fifteen years ago, I might have had a different opinion.
But I've witnessed our failures. I witnessed you can't jump

(01:21:37):
into these things. And let's face it, with President Trump,
he likes quick fixes. He's going to go in, he's
going to try and bomb something and then walk away
and declare victory. And that is not the way these
conflicts work, and it's not the way they're going to
be resolved. We're just better off. You know, every problem
in the world can't be our problem. I do hope

(01:21:59):
we've learned that over time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
Can I can I hit you with some UH with
some Inroe doctrine, because it looks like we've got we've
got the Gerald Ford absolutely coming coming right off of
off of Venezuela, UH with a with a strike package.
Does is that going to be the next big thing
you think.

Speaker 12 (01:22:17):
You know, I have a feel and look, this is
an area of course, closer to our home. Yes, that
this isn't you know, with drugs and immigrants, legal immigration
and violence coming across the border, this is where maybe
we should be focusing more of our energy. I would
also cause you to be take care and how we act.
But this one, you know, to me, seems more is

(01:22:38):
more suited to what we should be doing. The I
get the feeling. I mean, given the amount of times
that the US Navy has been off coast and these
strikes on the boats, that that this is really a
pressure campaign that the US hopes that the military threat
to the Maduro regime will cause the military, his military
to overthrow him. We haven't seen evidence of this so far.

(01:23:01):
I don't know how effective this will be, but you know, look,
overthrowing a government, these are just not easy things to do.
I would say there was probably a large base of
support for US if we did.

Speaker 5 (01:23:13):
Decide to do that.

Speaker 12 (01:23:15):
But you know, again, this, this, this should be more.
This is more in our ballpark. If we want to
solve some problems internationally, and.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
We've done it in the past, right like with Noriega,
and stuff like that. Right, we just knock out of
the box and then you hope for for the best. Okay,
finally I need to you to unpack this for me.
Uh and and this is going to be towards a
more conventional place. Syria. Ahmed al Sharrah meets with the
president yesterday. What is your thought about this guy? Is

(01:23:46):
he is he a warlord? Is he somebody who wants
to genuinely interface with our side of the equations? What
are what are we seeing with this guy?

Speaker 12 (01:23:57):
Bill well Brett, He just made my blood pressure go
up about twenty points. I have no idea why we
are so eager to feat the former head of al
Qaeda's branch in Syria. This guy has murdered Americans and
he has done nothing to receive the treatment that he
has gotten. He's refused to eject foreign fighters from his ranks,

(01:24:20):
and they have been integrated in the military, many of
whom are absolutely loyal to al Qaeda, which he claims
to have disassociated from. Keep in mind he never renounced
his oath to al Qaeda. He has conducted two massacres
in the first eight months of his rule. He appointed
himself president president and it is going to put a

(01:24:41):
parliament in that rubber stamps things for him. And yet
he is the darling of Washington. I don't trust him
as far as I could throw him, and I'm sure
I can't throw him very far. I don't understand this brand.
There's this you know, on both on the left, on
the right, Republicans, Democrat, President, Congress. They love this guy.

(01:25:02):
He is somehow he has captivated Washington. Everyone loves Shara.
I think we should create a comedy show with that.
But but he but he has probably he is. He
refuses to do anything we ask of him. I don't
trust him. He's going to play us. He'll take our money,

(01:25:23):
he'll take our the all of the praise that we
give him, all of the international support, all of the legitimacy,
and he's going to give us nothing in return. Mark
mark my words on that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
All right, final bone, I'm gonna hit you with a
bonus question really quick. Uh, what's going on with the
Indians and and and the Pakistanis this this thing looks
like it's starting to wabble a little bit. Uh, what's
what's your thought there?

Speaker 12 (01:25:45):
I always the India Pakistan conflict, it always it flares
up and it goes down. It's like gout of the
of Asia. And it's though I did both are on country, Yeah,
act wise enough to stand down at the appropriate moment.
It's a lot of flexing for domestic don't get me wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:26:08):
Because they're two nuclear power.

Speaker 12 (01:26:10):
Of course these are dangerous things. We should watch it.
But history has shown that they've never gone past the brink.
Even in two thousand and seven with those AINUS Mumbai
attacks that were directed by a Pakistani entire group. The
Indians didn't go haywire on that one. So it's always
a tit for tat between these two. We're just sort

(01:26:30):
of it the latest iteration.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Maybe maybe they need to go up to the top
of that mountain and where they slam the doors at
each other and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 12 (01:26:38):
Exactly. You know, they just you know, get get the
clubs out and go at it. That's seen that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Yeah, well that does happen. We have seen that, it does.
It's true, Bill Bill Roger, Bill Rogio. Always we get
smarter when we talk to you, man. Long War Journal
dot org. Long War Journal dot Org. Appreciate you man,
Thanks so much for jumping on and good luck with
the eagles.

Speaker 12 (01:27:01):
Yes, thanks right, always a pleasure that do not go cowboy,
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
It all right, good stuff man, Thanks Bill, I appreciate you.
News Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT Brett Winterble Show.
Good to be with you all right. Scientists have received
interesting signals from mysterious interstellar object. This is the three

(01:27:31):
Eye Atlas, the infamous three Eye at List. It tells
us the ingredients for life's chemistry are not unique to
our own. What hold on, let's look at this for
a little bit more. Just as mysterious interstellar object three
Iyatlas re emerged from behind the Sun last week, astronomers

(01:27:54):
detected intriguing radio signals from it that gave new clues
about its chemical composition. Three I Atlas, which is widely
believed to be a comet, has been soaring through the
Solar System at breakneck speed, reaching its perihelian, or closest

(01:28:18):
point to the Sun on October twenty ninth. Days earlier,
it reached its solar conjunction relative to Earth, or when
the Sun was perfectly in line between us and the
mysterious object, temporarily blocking it from view. On October twenty fourth,

(01:28:39):
Astronomers at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory used Mercat
radio telescopes to once again probe the rare visitor. Two
previous attempts in September proved fruitless, but the third time

(01:29:02):
was the charm. They detected radio absorption lines by hydroxyl radicals.
Oh radical. I don't know about the radicals. I'm worried
about the radicals. The radicals can can really they can?
Is it free? Radicals? Can? We? Are they free? Or
are they gonna cost us anything? Hydroxyl radicals which are

(01:29:23):
produced when water molecules are broken down by sunlight in
what Harvard astronomer and passionate three iat List tracker Avi
Lobe declared in a blog post the intriguing findings could
once again support the theory that three iat Lists is

(01:29:44):
a comet with interstellar origins that is shedding copious amounts
of water as it passes the Sun. Some previous observations
by James the James Webb Space Telescope had hinted that
three I Atlas is mostly made of carbon dioxide ice

(01:30:06):
and only a trace of water, accounting for four percent
of its mass. So we still don't know what this
thing is. It's just like hanging around. It's just like
going around. It's doing the it's doing the thing. It's
taking this the thing. But you know what ended up
happening We found out this thing is from ten billion
years ago. Is when this this thing's been out there

(01:30:29):
for ten billion years, which tells you how big space is.
I mean that to me, I can't even I can't
even fathom, like how vast the empty is? Like how
empty is it? How empty do you need it to be?
I mean, this is this is one of those kind

(01:30:50):
of deals where you sit back and you say, I'm
gonna get a headache if I think about this too long.
That is really what does end up happening. But I
can tell you this. I can tell you this. If
you want to go to an event and you want
to have a good time, you probably shouldn't show up

(01:31:12):
and declare that your name is GHD. Somehow, some way
you're gonna get in a fight. Ghd has been charged
with assault and robbery after a brawl at the Berkeley
Turning Point USA rally that happened last night. A demonstrator
named Jihad, who was at Monday's chaotic protest against Turning

(01:31:36):
Point USA at the University of Berkeley, California, right in
California and Berkeley was charged with assault and robbery for
an incident at the scene. According to the cops, his
name was g hod De paule.

Speaker 5 (01:31:54):
Ziz.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
It's dp R E p a U l E s easy.
Obviously he made up a name. He's Jihad with the
fake name. He's twenty five years old and allegedly snatched
a chain necklace from an attendee, sparking a vicious fight
that left him and the victim covered in blood. As

(01:32:16):
Antifah thugs clashed with Charlie Kirk's supporters exactly two months
after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These are the people
we don't need. These are the people who cause the problems.
This is why we can't have nice things. You can't
even go out there listen to a speech. I mean,

(01:32:38):
give me a break. This is LARPing at its worst,
live action role play. Let's go out and try to
recreate the you know, the bad old days. Nobody really
wants to do that. And by the way, I'm just
gonna tell you something here. I'm looking at this. I

(01:33:00):
think this guy is co opting an identity. I think
he's co opting just to try to create a little
bit more venom in this regard. I'm telling you right now, folks,
this is not this is now a way to run
a railroad. Absolutely not. But these people, this is what

(01:33:21):
they do. Hey, let's go get in fistfights. Hey, let's
go beat people up. Hey, let's go do these things. No, no, no,
thank you. I like my teeth where they are in
my mouth. I like the ability to avoid these kinds
of wackos and weirdos. This is a problem, but it's
free speech. Until you start beating people up. Then they

(01:33:42):
can put you. They can put you away, put you
in the paddy wagon, take you downtown, make you go
stand in front of a judge. And you wake up
the next day and you're sore, and it's bad and
it's ugly, and you think that you had a good time.
Nobody had a good time. Nobody had a good time.
And yet they still don't understand that speech is different

(01:34:06):
than fighting. Punching people in the face is not speech.
That's assault. And unfortunately, I got a feeling with this guy.
I think he's gonna get I think he's gonna get upgraded.
I think he's gonna get upgraded to the Federals. I
think he's gonna be getting upgraded. And uh he may be,

(01:34:32):
he may be, he may be very famous before he's
ready to be famous. All right, that's gonna do it
for me. We have got an incredible basketball game coming
up next. Thanks to uh Lonnie and Nick and Anna
and Pam. I'm Brett Witterble. It has been a pleasure
to be with you here today. I have endorsed all
