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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the government shutdown and lays the blame squarely at the feet of Chuck Schumer. He sarcastically refers to it as the “Schumer Shutdown” and mocks the political theater surrounding the crisis. Using sharp wit and biting analogies, Brett compares the dysfunction in Congress to a fire department debating who holds the hose while the house burns. He criticizes Democrats for dodging responsibility and paints Congress as self-interested performers more focused on optics than governance.

Brett’s rant turns comedic as he imagines settling budget disputes with dodgeball matches or dunk tanks, skewering politicians for their inability to do the jobs they were elected for. He argues that everyday Americans keep working through the chaos while Congress takes recess and points fingers. In a blend of satire and frustration, Brett calls for real accountability and a performance review for lawmakers.

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

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Am I doing a show today? I thought everything was
shut down? I thought the Schumer shutdown? Mate, are we
doing a program here today? This is great? I'm kidding,
what about Schumer? I'll take exactly three calls. My name's
Brett Witterble. I'm in for Brett Witterbow seven four, five, seven,
eleven ten. And I want, I just want to if

(00:42):
you want to call in and you want to opine
about the shutdown, the Schumer shutdown, and it is the
Schumer shutdown. Don't don't try to sell it in a
different direction. It is exactly what it is. It is
the Schumer shutdown. And I've got thoughts on this in moments, okay,
in moments. You don't want to go anywhere with what
I'm going to give you. But the fact of the
matter is, the fact of the matter is they're lying

(01:07):
to you. They're lying to you. The Democrats are lying.
And I know that's not obvious, but I mean, Chuck Schumer,
he's not that guy. He really isn't. He doesn't have
any idea what he's doing. He has no game plan.

(01:27):
It's really bad. Like did you see Nancy Pelosi. She
was complaining yesterday last night and people are so embarrassed
by all of this sort of stuff that the argument
that the Speaker of the House is making is a
perfectly good argument, because he understands how the policies are

(01:49):
working and how these things have to come to pass.
But I just gotta I want to take you back
to earlier this morning. Okay, you ever wake up and
check the news and realize that your government shut down again, like, oops,
we forgot to fund all of civilization in the entire world.

(02:10):
Like watching your house burn down while the fire department
debates whose turn it is to hold the hose. This
is what Chuck Schumer did to the country. And the
best part he's going on TV. He's crying, pointing fingers
like middle schoolers caught cheating in a group project. They

(02:33):
try to tell you that they're here to serve the
American people. They say, oh, really, service? What cold disappointment
with a side of national debt that's what they're offering you.
I say, screw the press conferences. We don't need the
press conferences. We don't need any of them. We should

(02:53):
just settle it with dodgeball. We should just get everybody
together dodgeball, no suits, no speeches, just ubber balls and rage.
Can we do that? Is that something that we have
the ability to do? They shut that thing down too.
You want a filibuster, dodge this, that's my answer. You
want to shut down the government, you better be able

(03:15):
to duck a forty mile an hour heater from the
irs guy who hadn't been paid in two weeks. And
by the way, I'm happy for that. Ted Cruz trying
to explain his position to Nancy Pelosi, winding up like
like she's pitching Game seven. Think about it, Madam, speaker,

(03:35):
I object. Wham, she's the emeritus. She's the emeritus, though
she's not the official person. That's that's our that's our
speaker objection overruled. Senator, you just got beaned. Because here's
the truth. Government shutdown is the only time that your
boss says, don't come to work, but also don't expect money.

(03:59):
It's like being grounded by someone who forgot that they're
your employee. That's what it is. Congress works for us
sometimes then when they don't feel like it, it's like
we're the interns and they're the big fancy people. And
while they play chicken with the economy, teachers are teaching.

(04:23):
Teachers are teaching, nurses are nursing. Wait a minute, let
me rethink that truckers are trucking. Truckers are still trucking.
Imagine a nurse saying, sorry, I'm not treating patients today.
I have a bipartisan disagreement with the janitor. This is
what is happening. This is all Chuck Schumer's fault. Or

(04:45):
a firefighter saying I'd love to put out that blaze,
but I'm waiting for a continuing resolution. Can you guys
please come through with that, Chuck. We show up, we work,
We bleed Congress. They take their recess like they're in kindergarten,
and then they co back. They act like they deserve
a cookie for showing up. All the Democrats ran out,

(05:06):
they disappeared. They're not even there except for that McBride
person who was running around looking to try to figure
out where the Republicans are. It's all theater. They shut
down the government, then they hold hearings about why they
shut it down, and then it's like burning your house
down and hiring a documentary crew to film you crying

(05:27):
in the ashes. America. The tragedy brought to you by
the Democratic Party, starring everyone who still has to pay
their bills like us, like regular people. So here's my proposal.
Next time they threaten a shutdown, we should shut them down.
Lock the capital doors, no food, no Wi Fi. You

(05:52):
want to play chicken with our livelihoods, fine, but you're
doing it in crocs and a tank top till you
pass a budget. How about that? Very specific? And if
you don't, we're gonna send a dodgeball team in because
nothing says do your job like a rubber ball to
the ego. But let's be clear about this. This isn't

(06:13):
just incompetence. It's cowardice dressed up as process. And these
people don't govern, they audition, they don't legislate. They loiter.
You see it, I see it, we know it. You
know what Congress really needs not a budget, not a
bipartisan hug. They need a performance review. How about one

(06:35):
of those when's the last time you got drunk, when's
the last time you did drugs? When's the last time
you showed up? Do you even know who you are?
This is what we've got to do. One where the
American people get to walk in with a clipboard in
their hand and say Hi, we've been watching your work.
It's garbage. You're fired. Also, we're keeping your parking spot

(06:59):
because while they play games with our livelihoods and our
safety in the community, we're the ones dodging eviction notices,
skipping prescriptions and praying our kids don't ask why dinner
looks like a tax return. So maybe dodgeball's too kind.
Maybe we need a dunk tank. Every time they fail

(07:21):
to pass the budget, we just line them up and
for every day the government shuts down, we throw fastballs
at their legacy because if they weren't so bad at
their jobs, well we'd have to invent something else. But
unfortunately we could call them a joke. Over on the left,

(07:46):
we shouldn't call them leaders, but as the punchline to
a joke that we stopped laughing a long time ago.
This is your weekly daily dose of righteous rage. I'm
Brett Winnable and I approved this message all right. Coming

(08:19):
up later this hour, we're gonna give away another bunch
of tickets going up to the incredible, incredible Liberty Mountain production.
You've heard from so many of these great folks. We'll
be giving them away in a short period of time.
We certainly want you all to be a part of it,

(08:41):
and come on over to the WBT night at King's
Mountain Little Theater Tuesday, October the seventh and October the
seventh commemorates the actual day the battle helped turn the
tide of the Revolutionary War. And also it's WBT night
at the Joy Theaterre Mountain, North Carolina. And you will

(09:02):
get full warning before we before we give those tickets out,
But we certainly want you to be a part of
that as as well. Seven oh four five seven zero
eleven ten, seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten
to be a part of the conversation. Everybody that I'm
talking to is talking about this, this shutdown. I'm not

(09:23):
going to spend every minute of my time on the
shutdown because these are adults who need to figure out
how they're going to be able to solve their problems.
And unfortunately, what we cannot do right, what we cannot
do is is just throw the whole thing overboard. But
but when you look at when you look at Chuck Schumer,

(09:44):
he seems to be confused on a number of basic things.
He continues to say that that that they they cannot
allow this deal to go through, which was fine ten
days ago, eight days ago, four days ago, three days ago.
Everything was fine, Everything was all right. We were using

(10:07):
a clean bill that pretty much everybody wanted except for
Chuck Schumer. And unfortunately Chuck Schumer decided he's going to
try to upend the apple cart and was going to say,
I'll show these people, I'll show him exactly my power.
He doesn't really have any power. His power is fading
in a brutal and awful way. In fact, he doesn't

(10:27):
even have somebody who's got his six. Hakeem Jeffries, this
is going to be cut number ten. Hakeem Jeffries talking
to Jake Tapper about the issue of illegals getting medical care.
And this did not go well for Hakeem Jeffries. Cut
number ten. Please.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Donald Trump blest it as well.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
So let me ask you about a provision that the
Republicans are talking about quite a bit. I know you
want to talk about and Democrats want to talk about
extending the Obamacare subsidies which expire at the end of
twenty twenty five, but they talk about the provisions and
it's right here, Subtitle E. And this has to do
with the repeal of healthcare subtitle changes, and specifically what
it is, how they characterized characterize it is you want

(11:12):
to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants. I understand that's
not really an accurate depiction, but what it does do
is it's a lie.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's a lie.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
But all you support does bring back funding for emergency
medicaid to hospitals, some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants,
people who don't have health insurance.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
And also there.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Is this provision and it's not about undocumented immigrants. It's
about people with asylum seekers and people with temporary protected status,
et cetera, et cetera, but about their ability to get medicaid.
So they're non citizens, they're not undocumented, not illegal. Why
even include that in a bill knowing that they're going
to seize right upon that and use that some message.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, it's called a fact. It's called factual fact. It's
what it is. It's factual facts. It's not fake facts.
It's not not true facts. Even ro Kana cut fifteen.
Ro Kanda understands what he's talking about. It's the exact
same thing Cut fifteen going in terms of healthcare.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
The reality is they're just not being honest, The amount
of why money that actually is going towards that people
who are undocumented is such a small portion of the
Medicaid cuts or the Affordable Care Act, if at all,
And so we can argue that point. But the reality
that even the Vice President would acknowledge, that anyone who

(12:34):
looks at the numbers will acknowledge, is ninety to ninety
five percent of the funding we're talking about is talking
about funding for American citizen.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
So what's the other five percent? Why are we doing
the other five percent? Like? Why is that the thing?
I don't want to see people get sick. I don't
want to see people die. I don't want to see
any of it. But you guys have to acknowledge at
least a modicum of lying. You have to be like, yeah,
you know, tried to we tried to slip slip you
of the rubber peach didn't work. You know, this is,

(13:05):
this is, this is I'm just so aren't you just
exhausted by people who lie, who are on the Democrat side,
but they just lie. They had the bill, it was fine.
Then Chuck decided he was gonna go and try to
play games, and you know what, he won with his
stupid games, stupid toys, stupid pleasures, all that sort of stuff.

(13:27):
It doesn't make any sense. And Rocanna is a serious person.
He's a very serious guy. And even he has to acknowledge,
you take a ninety five percent, but five percent is
still gonna be going out the door. How much fraud
do you want in your system? Like, let's say you
are I'm assuming that you are either fabulously wealthy and

(13:47):
you have retired, or you are somebody who gets up
and goes to work for a job every single day,
right Monday through Friday, and and you're not you know,
you're not able to kind of just chuck it in
and say all that sort of stuff. So how much
fraud do you want? Like how much do you want
to be overcharged at the supermarket? How much do you want?

(14:07):
It's kind of just being siphoned out of your bank
account every couple of weeks, Like are you are you
good with five percent loss? Are you good with? Like?
I just sure, let them just steal five percent every
two weeks. I'm okay with that. It's certainly no. You
would be out of your mind. You'd be in the

(14:28):
bank yelling at them. Saying, why are you guys giving
five percent of my money to people who are from
other countries? And you would be right to raise that
Issue's that's not a mean thing to say, it's a
true thing to say. It's a real thing to say.
Now I'm gonna have to do something here, and I

(14:48):
don't like it any more than you do. Okay, but
let me give you the number one huckster and all
of this stuff. It's got cut number sixteen. Many of
you continue and really amazing, I get I get so
many emails. Isaac gets a lot of emails about this
as well. You want to hear for for for whatever reason,

(15:10):
you guys really want to hear from Tim Walls. And
Tim Walls he's got he's got some positions, most of
which is freaking out about the shutdown cut number sixteen.
Please Tim Wallas, please get.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
The willingness of the Speaker of the House to blatant.
I have seen every I have seen Fox News even
correct this issue that trying to tell the public word
a massive misinformation campaign. The President himself tweeting out ai
videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really
dangerous and it's really hard, and I cannot express to
you the concern and the absolute baffle must and fear

(15:44):
of our European allies baffles asking me, is there stuff
really going on? So yeah, I have a feel that
they do that any.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
You care about the Europeans? Baffle miss? What is baffle miss?
Is that a new holiday? Is that a holiday exclusively
available in Minnesota? Is that what he's got? Because I
heard him saying baffle or is it baffle us like
we have been, we are baffled, baffle must, bafflemus. It
has gotta be a holiday. It sounds like a holiday.

(16:09):
It does not sound like baffle us. It sounds like baffle.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Muss, baffle must and what is that word?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
See, this is a guy who couldn't even handle a shotgun.
When he was out there bragging about how look at
what I can do. The problem is, and I'm sorry
to have to do this, but I'm gonna be honest
with you. I'm always gonna be honest with the audience.
When they gave him the shotgun and he was getting

(16:39):
ready to use the shotgun, the reason why he didn't
have the ability to shoot anything with the gun is
because they they took away his baffle Miss baffle Muss.
Yes they did. They looked at him and they said,
this poor guy, this poor guy, we cannot risk him

(17:00):
having a baffle Miss. I mean, baffle Miss is really
bad when you get Once you get to Bafflemas, there's
almost no going back. It's like when you go on
the ride. It's like you go up on the ride
and you know it's a very steep ride, and you
tried it. He's the fat guy that tries to get
off at the top of the ride and suddenly he

(17:20):
finds himself in a whole lot of baffles at baffle Miss.
I'm a knucklehead at time, all the time of the time, absolutely,
and now you're a knucklehead who's bafflemust. Oh that's part
of the boat. That's where they put the isn't that
where they put Yeah, baffle Miss, deploy the baffle Miss.

(17:56):
There's talk eleven ten at Brett winterfoll Show seven h
four or five sevenh eleven ten. All right, some of
the other stuff that is that is happening here. There's
there's a lot of different stories that are that are
moving here in it's really fascinating. All right. So if
you were to look at some of the biggest stories.
So the obviously we just talked about the shutdown, and

(18:18):
if you want to be part of if you want
to be part of the shutdown conversation, you are more
than welcome to do it. And please don't feel like
you have to shut down and not say anything because
you know that's that's that's not important all the way,
if you want to do that. But what about this idea?
The White House is halting billions of dollars in funds
for blue states. Wait, that's not nice. As the shutdown persists,

(18:46):
the Trump administration has frozen or canceled twenty six billion
dollars in funds, with the bulk of the cuts affecting
states led by Democrats. This includes eighteen billion dollars for
infrastructure projects in New York alone. All right, now, remember

(19:09):
Donald Trump the President of the United States. He's a
smart guy and he drives a hard bargain. Everybody knows that. Okay,
but look at the state that he's targeting. He is
targeting New York. Now, Kathy Hokeel is not his cup
of tea, Mam Donnie is not his cup of tea. Cuomo,

(19:32):
He'll tolerate Cuomo I think he would theoretically tolerate Curtis Sleewand,
but I don't think Curtis Lee has got the ability
to win that challenge. And you look at all these
horrifyingly awful politicians in New York, right, Hakeem Jeffries, need
I say more, AOC need I say more? Goldman over

(19:56):
in Brooklyn, need I say more, or AOC need. I mean,
just think about this, this crew of people who comes
out of New York. Now, you've got a couple of
other people that are more moderate, they're upstate, they're doing
all this kind of stuff. But these are radical, radical people.
These are not people that really represent the values of

(20:17):
most of the United States of America. And I'm not
trying to throw sand on people, but the fact is
that that's what he's doing. So what does Donald Trump do?
He says he's halting billions of dollars in funds for
blue states as the shutdown persists, He's already frozen or

(20:37):
canceled twenty six billion in funds, with the bulk of
cuts affecting the states led by the Democrats, eighteen billion
for infrastructure projects alone in New York. Where does Donald
Trump now reside well in the White House, but he

(20:58):
also resides in New Jersey, and sometimes he resides in
mar A Lago, and sometimes he's in the building there
at Trump Tower, right. But what he's really doing is
he's showing the power that he's got. Remember it's not
even a year since he's been elected or inaugurated, so

(21:20):
they're going to have to live with this for the
next three plus years. Coming down the mountain, this is
a big deal. This is a huge deal. And I'm
telling you, I think this is the sign that he's
sending to Mandami, And I think this is the sign
that he's sending to Chuck Schumer. And he's saying, listen,

(21:41):
I can shut this stuff down anytime I want. Because
anybody know why he can shut all this money down?
Do you have any guests in your mind? Anybody? Seven
oh four five, sevenh eleven ten. The reason why he
can do this is because the government is shut down.
See Chuck Schumer shut the government down. He shut it down,

(22:03):
he wrapped it up and shut it down. And he
thought he was gonna be all that. He thought he
could take a page from a you know, from a
gangster movie and say, look what I did Look, I
got this. I extracted this from President Trump. He's not
extracting anything. The only thing he's extracting is the juice

(22:25):
from an orange where he's sitting there in the morning. Okay,
So let me give you somebody who I think is
totally worth hearing from. And this is gonna be cut fourteen.
So Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo basically just calls out Chuck
Schumer right to his face. It is beautiful the way

(22:47):
he breaks this thing down. Because this is why you're
seeing no action out there happening. So this is a
cut number fourteen.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
Go, you are about to hear from the Democrats. Is
not true.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
The Republican partisan spending bill that they introduced is not clean. Well,
first of all, let's be clear, it's not a clean bill.
It's a dirty bill. Well, that's all a lie. It's
not a clean continuing resolution.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Listen. I like haw Keem Jeffries. I think he's got
an amazing future. He got around better fights than this.
This is a clean cr What does that mean? By
the way, continuing resolution instead of passing a real budget
like they should, this just says, hey, remember the last one,
let's just continue at those levels again.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
All right.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
Now, that may mean that certain people who should get
less won't, certain people who need more won't. But a
clean CR means that this is an extension from the
last set of in this case, Biden's spending levels. Okay,
that's what a clean CR is. This is a clean CR.
Wait a minute, Cuomo disagrees with Jeffries. Jeffries must be right.
Don't take my word. Take the word from the Nonpartisan

(23:57):
Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
They say this is about.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
As clean ACR as you could get. Okay, again, it's
a continuation of a March stopgap measure, all right, Essentially
a continuation of spending levels from Biden absent about thirteen billion.
But when you look at it as a function of
the pie, it's literally a rounding error. I don't like that.
It's a lot of money, but it's a rounding error. Again,

(24:23):
don't take my word for it. How about taking this
guy's word.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
Allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via
a government shutdown is a far worse option. I believe
it is my job to make the best choice for
the country, to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore,
I will vote to keep the government open and not

(24:50):
shut it down.

Speaker 6 (24:51):
And that CR he voted for is the same as
this one. So what changed AOC eyeing his senency.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's what it's all about. It's all about that. We
played you the clip yesterday from AOC and she said,
I'll negotiate with you guys. Any guys want to come
in negotiate, come to my office. I'll have conversations with you.
Chuck Schumer's hiding. He's hiding. He's not he's he's nowhere
to be seen. And he's already saying, well, I'm just

(25:18):
gonna let it go into next week.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I'm kind of mad about that because I predicted it
would be a four a four day shut down, and
you know, I missed the mark there. I was optimistic.
I thought he would I thought he would bring his
mind to the right to conclusion. But he didn't want
to do it. He did not want to do it. See,
this is what happens. There are people in your life.

(25:42):
I promise you this, and maybe you don't want to
acknowledge it, and you don't have to acknowledge it. You
ever have people in your life that are just jinxes
for you, like they come around and stuff goes bad.
They come around and suddenly it's catastrophic and you've got
to get involved, and you've got to do this. Chuck

(26:03):
Schumer is that guy. He's that guy. He he just
approved this bill uh in March. It's the same bill,
nothing changed except Chuck Schumer's decision to upend the Apple
card period Full Stop News Talk eleven ten and I'm

(26:38):
three w BT Brett Waterble Show and let's jump out
and talk to Tina. Hello, Tina, Welcome to the program. Tina, Hello,
how are afternoon? To Oh I'm great, I'm great.

Speaker 9 (26:54):
Are you there?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yes? I am I you sound terrific. What's on your mind?

Speaker 9 (26:59):
I just want to mention. I think what the problem
is between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the
Republicans don't want to pay for the subsidies for the ACA,
which Biden dumped a bunch of money.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
In there, yes during COVID.

Speaker 9 (27:16):
So you got people walking around middle class, upper middle
class not paying any healthcare premiums. I'm on Medicare and
I pay one hundred and forty five.

Speaker 10 (27:28):
Dollars a month yep for my part.

Speaker 9 (27:30):
B Yes, I mean, who doesn't have to pay for
health insurance if they're working.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Oh my gosh, no, that's true. It's true. And remember
I was talking about this last week, because they have
all these phantom enrollments that didn't really exist, and that
is so that means one of two things. One it's fraud,
or two it's they're just holding the door for illegals

(27:54):
to go and make good on all of those things.
Because the insurance companies they need to know exactly from
year to year to year exactly to predict how it is.
Because the insurance companies have to make money and they
have to they have to pay, they have to pay
for their for all the stuff that they've got to do.
But when Joe Biden pulled that game and that came

(28:14):
to light, I think that was the poison that that
came into this conversation. And it's unfortunate, and I feel
very badly for people who are desperately in need of
their healthcare. But my gosh, three hundred and fifty billion dollars,
what next year it'll be seven hundred and fifty billion
dollars And then the next year this thing will just grow.

(28:35):
And that's that's the problem. What we should do to
fix this. They should claw back all the COVID money
that is still out there slashing around and say, okay,
this is a one time deal. You go, everybody's gonna
give give the money back, and let's see how this
shakes out. Because we've already put out We've already put
out seven trillion dollars and there's no reason for this.

Speaker 9 (28:59):
Yeah, and I just I mean, like I said, I'm
on Medicare and I still.

Speaker 10 (29:02):
Have to pay.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Of course, of course you do.

Speaker 9 (29:05):
And I don't understand why other people. I've known people
that are working and they're making money sure, and I'm like, well,
what do you what is your health insurance premiums?

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (29:12):
I say nothing?

Speaker 9 (29:13):
What you say nothing?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Right, there's a lot there's people, right, there's people riding
the couch. There's people riding the couch in a lot
of places, and they're not they're not doing the work
that they need to do. You could do you can,
for goodness sakes, you could put a headset on and
and sell insurance or something for a living. I mean
it's not it's not like you're you're totally unable. Great stuff, Tina.
I appreciate you being out there. That's a that's a

(29:35):
very important point that you that you raised there. But
but again, we can't do this, We can't have an
actual nice conversation. Why why Because the Obamacare sweeteners poison
to the budget negotiations. And we were talking about this
last Monday, the not not this Monday that just passed,

(29:58):
the last Monday, we were talking about how this stuff
was coming apart. There is no free ride. I know
there are people who want to believe there's a free ride.
Maybe maybe what you need to do is maybe you
have to go and become a Mexican citizen or a
Canadian citizen, and then maybe you need to then sneak

(30:19):
into the country because it sounds to me like Chuck
Schumer will just give you money if you come in
and and and you play the game. This is this
is a terrible, terrible, uh scenario that we're looking at.
And you know what's weird. How come Antifa isn't out
there marching around for health care. They only want to

(30:41):
they only want to protect illegals in Oregon and in
other jurisdictions. But why why doesn't Antifa come around and
say no, no, no, no no. What we want to
do is we want to make sure everybody gets healthcare.
They don't care about the people not getting healthcare. They
care about illegals for some particular reason. And I've got
a theory on it, and I'm gonna break it down

(31:02):
for you as we move into this next hour. But
you know what, Isaac, I'm in a giving mood. I'm
in one heck of a giving mood. Can I be
in the giving mood today? I'm gonna be in a
giving what's that?

Speaker 8 (31:18):
All right?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I'm gonna be in a giving mood here, ladies and gentlemen.
I want you to enjoy an incredible time out at
wbt's Night at the King's Mountain Little Theater Tuesday, October
the seventh. I've got a four pack of tickets, a
four pack of tickets, and you're gonna be able to

(31:40):
come out, hang out, spend time with us. October the
seventh commemorates the anniversary of the actual battle that helped
to turn the tide on the Revolutionary War. It's also
WBT night Joy Theater, Kings Mountain. You know, Kings Mountain,
by the way, is shut down right now because it's
a it's a place where you cannot go right now.

(32:02):
But you can come and see the show. Caller number seven.
Lucky number seven wins the pack of tickets. Can't wait
to see you coming out. Come on and do it
four packs four pack ticket tickets to the show and
again Caller number seven. Caller number seven seven four five

(32:23):
seven zero eleven ten. All right, I'm going to continue
on with my with my analysis here. So we went.
We went from the Obamacare sweeteners poisoning the budget negotiations too,
where we are now. Don't forget Halloween did come early
this year. The Democrats have named the price that would

(32:46):
avoid a government shutdown, and that was three hundred and
fifty billion dollars three hundred and fifty billion dollars over
the next decade. That is a lot of money. And unfortunately,
they're trying to have you believe. They're trying to have
you believe that that it's all above above board. For example,

(33:11):
if your family makes four hundred percent over the federal
poverty line, making a family of four earning up to
one hundred and sixty thousand dollars eligible for subsidized plans, well,
then I think we see what the problem is. This
is not for the folks who are indigent This is
not about the folks who can't afford. This is not

(33:32):
about the folks who have to make the choice between
food or medicine or any of that. No, no, no,
no no. This is about Biden's COVID credits that didn't
actually reduce any of the healthcare costs. It just goes up, up, up,
up up, And I could paraphrase and I will, the

(33:55):
Great Rolling Stone song. Everything is going up, up, up, up,
up up up. That's what it is. And it's despicable.
Everybody's sitting back and they're afraid of the shatter, and
the shatter is gonna cut you. And that's what you
don't want. Because Biden did not have the power, did
not have the magic, did not have the ability to

(34:16):
do anything but throw money out of the window. That's it,
full stop, no doubt about it, no no turning back.
And so at this stage of the game, we now
have to deal with the chaos, the chaos. News Talk

(34:49):
eleven ten, not a nine to three WBT Brent Waterbill Show.
Great to be with you, looking at all the big
stories that are out there moving and just a little bit,
I'm gonna have some commentary on a couple of different
things that are still pertinent. If you want to call
in and talk about the way the budget stuff is happening,
we're certainly happy to take your calls. We do have

(35:10):
a We did get a winner for the tickets to
go out, so we are still going to be giving
them out, and you want to keep listening every chance
you can here at be able to be part of
the WBT Night at King's Mountain Little Theater, and that's
coming up Tuesday, the October the seventh. But we did it.
We got a winner in that last segment, so we

(35:31):
will let you know when we are going to do
another one quickly. The Supreme Court's going to hear arguments
on a Federal Reserve seat case. The Supreme Court has
temporarily rejected President Trump's bid to remove the Federal Reserve
Governor Lisa Cook, but the Court will hear arguments on

(35:54):
the matter in January. So it doesn't sound like there's
gonna be any anybody getting seated anytime soon until we
get to January with the decision. Financial experts have warned
that removing Cook would threaten the Fed's independence. So if
this goes the wrong way for Cook, and I don't know,

(36:16):
I'm not a lawyer, so I don't understand all of
the ins and outs. Would you would have a chance
to replace a seat with her, and in the interim
you'd also be able to replace Jerome Powell, who's going
to be up, So that is something that you want
to keep an eye on. Additionally, President Trump's directive classifies

(36:41):
certain views as domestic terrorism. Now this is a very
odd sort of a thing, but according to reports, the
FBI's domestic terrorism watch list is expected to double do
a Trump directive. The memorandum title Countering Domestic Terrorism and

(37:04):
Organized Political Violence reportedly classifies those with anti capitalism or
anti American views as potentially terrorists. Now, I don't know
how this is all going to come to pass, but
I do have to say something that's important, which is,
we just saw the ADL report that came out from

(37:28):
the Anti Defamation League, and we saw how talking to
John Lott last week, that they are categorizing pretty much
anybody who walks down the street as a potential terrorist
as a right wing terrorist doesn't make any sense to me.
I think we do have to stick with obviously process,
and we do have to stick with the process of innocential,

(37:49):
proven guilty, and that you've got to have evidence that
these people are doing a dangerous sort of things, right,
are trying to attack the United States of America. With
that in mind, we're seeing a whole lot of fakery
going on. A racist, deep fake video of Hakeem Jeffries
has now surfaced. Now, this is the video that people

(38:10):
are upset about. Over on the left. President Trump has
posted and subsequently defended an AI video mocking the House
Democratic Leader Hakim Jeffries Vice President Jade Vance yesterday and
called the videos funny and instead the president was insisted
that the President was joking. But in the overnight hours,
there was another video that dropped, and it was Hakeem

(38:32):
Jeffries with the mustache and the sombrero. And then you
have a variety of Donald Trump's who are wearing the
sombrero and playing instruments behind Hakeem Jeffries. So apparently the
President is also now lampooning himself as a little bit

(38:55):
of a trolling sort of a technique. I just would
like to see us get back to regular business. Like
I think it's you want to make videos, you want
to be offended, you want to do all this sort
of stuff. Let's get back to the regular order. Lost
a very very important person in the last couple of days,
and that is the prominent primatologist Jane get Goodall, who

(39:19):
died at the age of ninety one. She was a
renowned primatologist and animal advocate, and Jane Goodall passed away
at the age of ninety one. The Jane Goodall Institute
announced that she died of natural causes in California while
on a speaking tour. And that is something I look

(39:42):
I like when people do conservation with animals, animals out
in the wild, wild animals, sometimes wild animals, and animals
out in the wild you just never know, especially in California,
because you could see a lot of wild animals walking
down the street. I once spent time with my with
my lovely wife, and we went up to northern California,

(40:05):
went up to Mammoth Mountain, Okay, and we were hanging
out and I was loading up our stuff into the
back of our car, and Sherry pointed out that above
my head was a black bear that was up at
the top of the of the tree and he was
right above me, and I'm looking at him and I'm
going Wow. I didn't know they could climb that high. No,

(40:28):
I didn't say the bear was high. Does happen in California?
But no, no, no, he went way up, way up high,
and I just thought it was absolutely fascinating. But I did.
I did speed up when I was putting the putting
the stuff away in the back of the car because
I wanted to get in that car and not potentially
have a bear connection there. That has nothing to do, obviously,
with Jane Goodall, who was mostly somebody who was a primatologist,

(40:51):
and that is that is somebody who takes care of
those sorts of animals, right, they take care of primates.
It's not like, no, stop, it's not anything to do
with primating, missed. That's when you get a cold use
the prima teen mist. This I'm talking about is a
totally different thing entirely. But she she passed away. It

(41:12):
makes me sad when these old folks pass away because
they were so instructive in so many different ways. You
could probably go back and see her appearances on Carter
with President Carter, or you wanted to go see her
on Carson or any of that sort of stuff with
you know ed mcmahonsitting there going yes, Yes, primates, Primates,

(41:33):
Yesastic fantastic seven oh four five seven eleven ten. Coming
up in a matter of moments, very special commentary about
a very dangerous crew. News Talk eleven ten, not a

(42:02):
nine three WBT Brett Winterble Show, Good to be with
You seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten. Everything
is fair game. If you want to raise an issue,
you want to ask a question, you want to look
at the storyline that is out there now. I mean
that is, uh, that is some of the stuff that
we've we've been talking about here as well. So let's
let's do a little bit of a of a of

(42:23):
a think piece here, okay, And I I've done some
research and uh, it's it's one of the things that
you know you're not supposed to talk about. You're not
supposed to talk about this. Did you know you're not
supposed to talk about this? You are, you can talk
about it, It's okay. So let's talk about antifa or antifa.
I never know where to put the emphasis on the phrase,

(42:47):
So let's talk about Antifa. You know who they are,
the group that's not a group but somehow is matching
outfits coordinated chants and shared Google docs for how to
flip a trash can dramatically. These folks think that they
are the answer, the answer to what. Well, that's unclear,

(43:09):
but they're very unsure. They're answering something. Maybe it's a
multiple choice test on how to ruin a park in
under thirty minutes. You ever meet an antifaught protester in
real life, it's like talking to a philosophy major who

(43:30):
just discovered rage against the machine and thinks that say
Guavara was a barista. They've got the black hoodie, the
ski mask, the twelve hundred dollars iPhone live streaming their
revolution because nothing says down with capitalism like a TikTok
filter and a Venmo jar. Okay, Okay, maybe that's a

(43:54):
little rough. They say that they're anti fascist, okay, but
they also say features violence and violence is justice. So basically,
if you say something that they don't like, they throw
a brick through your window to protect the democracy. It's
like a toddler with a Molotov cocktail and a moral

(44:15):
superiority complex. But imagine this. Imagine Antifa running a customer
service desk. That would be something to see. They think
they've got the answer, but they they are the answer
to a question nobody asked, like what happens when Hot

(44:36):
Topic and Karl Marx have a baby, or how you
turn a drum circle into a felony. These folks show
up protests like it's Coachella for anarchists. They've got tactical gear,
but no tactics. They're dressed for war, but they can't

(44:58):
parallel park Antifa is like the improv troop of political activism,
no script, no plan, just a lot of yelling and
hoping someone will throw a smoke bomb. They're the only
people who think smashing a window is a ted talk. Today,

(45:22):
today we can demonstrate how to liberate trash from its
oppressive verticality. They see themselves as heroes like Batman, if
Batman only fought parking meters and wore ironic patches. They
think they're storming the bas Steele, but they're really just

(45:42):
blocking traffic and yelling at pigeons. Down with the system. Bro,
You live with your parents and your WiFi is named
revolution Router. And they love the word resistance. They do.
They love the word resistance. Everything is resistance, ordering coughing,

(46:04):
resistance wearing deodorate, resistance, reading a book only if it's banned,
preferably one that they haven't read. But they're angry about
They resist everything except irony, but that's they fully So Yeah,
Antifought thinks that they're the answer, but they're the answer

(46:27):
to a question that is, what if fight club was
run by theater kids. They're loud, and they're proud, and
they are perpetually confused, but hey, at least they're consistent.
Every time they show up, you know, two things are
going to happen. Someone's going to get hit with a
bike lock and somebody is going to misquote Gnom Chomsky.

(46:53):
But you want to know the truth about them. These
are people who are going out and trying to change
the world. I do believe, ladies and gentlemen, if you
want the world changed, you have to get out there
and do it. But you have to do it mostly
with persuasion. If you really think about it, anybody can

(47:15):
change the world. The world was once changed by one
person in Jesus Christ, and the world has been affected
by many many others who have tried to make the
world a better place, and they have been attacked. So
the reality is what we're talking about here, mister and

(47:35):
missus America is doing it through peaceful means. Nobody ever
decided to affiliate themselves with a group after being beaten,
except of course, obviously for street gangs and people like that.
But you've never persuaded anybody into joining the cause by

(47:58):
beating them up, by threatening them, by doing any of
that stuff. See, I'm a person who believes in free speech,
but I understand that speech is not always free. It
means it might cost you something. But you can go
get a lawyer, you can go get someone to defend you,

(48:18):
you can go get someone to try to push back
the bounds and all that sort of stuff. That's peaceful.
But once you start getting into the streets beating up
citizen journalists like Andy No and other folks that go
around town, that's not persuasion. What that actually is is

(48:38):
tyranny made for one. I would hope, and I would
pray that all persuasion that takes place in our country
would be peaceful, meaning no hands on each other, fighting,
beating using a stick, a bike, clock, or any of that.
I would hope that you would have the power of

(48:59):
your mind to sell them on a different pathway, whether
from the left or from the right. Over the course
of a lifetime, people will fall into two different categories,
or three different categories, or seven different categories. The fact
of the matter is, it's your choice to believe what

(49:21):
you want, but it's not your choice when it comes
to beating people on a sidewalk. That's what makes us
different from those in the world who seek to persuade
by the point of a gun. After all, by the
time they get home, they will absolutely never ever reaffiliate

(49:44):
with that person ever again. Seven oh four five seven
zero eleven ten. Seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten.
If you want to you know, if you want to
check in, if you want to talk, if you want
to break down the big stories that are out there.
There are tons of them, and we'll be a going
through that straight ahead as well. And don't forget fall
is here in Charlotte. I'll tell you something about that

(50:06):
straight ahead, all right. I got a question, Greta Tunberg.
When I say Greta Tuneberg, what do you immediately think of?

(50:28):
What do you immediately think of when I mentioned the
word Greta Tuneberg, Isaac, You're you're a well informed person.
What are you thinking of when I say Greta Tunberg,
what drugged out maniacs and homeless people? No, that was
a mistaken button. Sorry, I think climate change. What. No,

(50:49):
she's not in that business anymore. She's not in that
business anymore. She has not been in that business versus
for quite some time. Oh did she figure things out? No,
she's no, she's she's expanded, she's expanded a differentiation here.
So let me let me give you a sense of this.
This is something that we all should be paying close

(51:11):
attention to. I'm surprised that, like we don't have a
like a like a channel where we could watch all
of her stuff that she's doing. I think it would
be great. Like maybe maybe Netflix. Netflix is a very
progressive outfit. Maybe they want to Yeah, it's entirely possible.
The Israeli Defense Forces said Wednesday that it had intercepted

(51:32):
the first boats of Greta Tuneberg's forty seven boat flotilla,
aimed to run the Israeli blockade around Gaza, which exists
to prevent Hamas from importing weapons. What was that? What

(51:53):
was that You're doing? Holy holy, holy cow? Yeah, because
you know, the Israelis are really cool about you running
a blockade when they're trying to keep a moss out,
Like that's that's something that would be like, yeah, let's
do that. That's then what do you say, what are
you doing this weekend? Well, let's go run a blockade?
Uh off a gaza in a in a pitched war.

(52:18):
The Times of Israel reported the Israeli navy operation, which
came as the country marked Yam Kapor, continued overnight into
early Thursday morning, with troops having boarded at least six
of the forty seven ships in the Global Samud s

(52:40):
umuD Samud flotilla by midnight and detaining the activists on
boards after Is this a euphemism? I don't know if
this is a euphemism. After jamming their signals? Is that
like a thing? Is that like a Is that a
phrase that I'm not familiar with? What happened?

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Man?

Speaker 1 (53:05):
They jammed our signals? What about next time? One of
the first boats to be boarded was carrying Gruta a
Greta Tunberg, with the Foreign Ministry sharing a video of
an Israeli soldier handling her belongings after being detained. How

(53:29):
do they detain? Are they detaining are these people detaining?
Where is where is Antifa navy? Where's the Antifa navy.
They don't have an antifon navy. I don't know. Okay.
Once brought to Israel, the activists will be deported. Tunberg

(53:51):
was on another flotilla in June, which was also intercepted
without incident. This is great. There's no reason to hurt her.
There's no reason to harm her. There's no reason. Absolutely not.
You take them into custody, you send them right back home.
And that's what they do. That shows you. Let me
just tell you something that shows you the differentiation between

(54:16):
what would happen if say Americans who were Christians who
decided to go try to win people over in Gaza, right,
they would probably not get treated that way. But the
Israelis are treating them that way. They're taking them into
custody and then they're sending them back to their country.
She was sent on a flight back to Sweden. That's right.

(54:41):
Tunberg went to Sweden. Tunberg made her name as a
climate change activist and discovered the Palestinian Cause as a
new outlet. Hold on, are you allowed to have more
than one? One sort of thing that you're doing like
I would think climate climate change is the entire climate,

(55:02):
and I would think for a moment here that if
you're going to climate change, that's going to take all
your time. But she does climate change and the flotillas.
That's that's big. Is this like, is it possible? Is
this like winter season and warm season? So we go

(55:25):
with the warm season down there in the med, Right,
we go down there in the med and we go
at the party there, and then we go back up
there and we go skiing all winter. That's probably what
it is. I think that's what it is. Let me
see here real quick. Yes, John, welcome to the program.
What's on your mind? John?

Speaker 13 (55:43):
Hey Brett? How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
I'm doing great. Thanks.

Speaker 13 (55:46):
You remember, probably a decade or so ago, green Peace
used to have this big shift and whenever the US
Navy would be doing training or whatnot, they would get
out there and.

Speaker 8 (55:58):
Get in their way. Yes, these little rubber boats that
they launched, and they would be zooming out all in
their way. And finally, one day they Navy's doing their training,
they launched these little rubber boats and Navy frogmen popped
up out of the water cut the fuel lines on
their boats. And then they had a battleship come in

(56:18):
and just push the green Peace mothership out of the way.

Speaker 13 (56:22):
Caused many millions of dollars of damage to the ship.

Speaker 14 (56:25):
Wow, green Peace stopped doing that because they realized real
quick that was not a good plan.

Speaker 13 (56:32):
I think the Israeli Navy.

Speaker 14 (56:34):
Needs to start taking some of these tactics with these
flotillas and just push them, I mean, just run right
over and push them out of the way. If they
were not playing games anymore.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Well, well, listen, the reality with this is this is
a hot war situation and and you know the operations
if you've got to pull off and go try to
help these people because they're getting stuck. This is this
is crazy and uh maybe maybe uh maybe the Israelis
should put out a warrant for for Tunberg and uh
maybe you get it, get a little bit uh you know,

(57:05):
coordinated to not not have these people coming into this
this area. It's to me, it's crazy. I mean it's awful.
And what happens if I'MASO opens up and they start firing,
I mean, this is I mean, you're gonna kill You're
gonna kill sailors, which is awful. I like I like you.
I like the way you think though. That's a really
good thought. And and then certainly, look they were asking

(57:25):
for it when they were when they were coming against
those battles battleship.

Speaker 14 (57:30):
When you're in a war zone, it's not you don't
have time to play games, that's right. I mean, you
don't know what's on those ships. No, you know, they say, hey,
we're peaceful, we're not playing games. You know, you try
to avoid a blockade, you get ran over.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
That's true. You know what, they could have picked her up,
and they could say, listen, when the hostilities are over.
We know that will never happen. But when the hostilities
are over, will repatriate you back to back to Sweden.
There you go. We're gonna use you as a as
a mark. How about that? Thanks John?

Speaker 8 (58:00):
John?

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Oh yeah, right there, all right. I just saw something
that cannot be unseen, so you can't see it, but
I could. I could retweet it, but I don't want
to give anybody any uh, any bad intentions. So this

(58:22):
is Erica Dherty is his name. He's on He's on
X you can go look him up.

Speaker 11 (58:28):
Justin.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Democrats are now taking a victory lap and patting each
other on each other's back after Gavin Newsom posted a
video of jd Vance to get back at President Trump
for putting a digital sombrero and mustache on Hakeem Jefferies,
and so he took. Ah, this is this is really

(58:50):
just phenomenal. It's so it's so weak, it is so weak.
It's uh, they take they took jd Vance and he's
got a tiny, uh a top hat on his head
that's like an American Sam kind of top hat. And
they put circular eyes around his uh look at Elton

(59:11):
John's kind of thing. Have you seen this or look
at this? All right? It is so weak. They made
jd Vance orange. His face is orange and and he's
he's that's what they did. That's the best that they
could do. Gavin Newsom's team did this. It's not it

(59:32):
is so weak.

Speaker 15 (59:33):
It's not even almost funny, much less than the Jeffrey's thing,
so much more fun I mean, look at this, it's
not it's it looks like a goofy fourth of July
snapchat filter. But it looks like.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Yes it does, Yes it does. I don't know what
the audio is, so I don't want to because I
don't want it to go It could be anything, and
uh yeah, you know, and then then you got that. Okay,
then you got that. I'll take I'll take three callers
on this. Okay, do you given the whole thing that's

(01:00:10):
going on? Obviously, governments shut down because of Chuck Schumer
and Hakeem Jeffries and AOC and Nancy Pelosi and everybody
else in the caucus not in the conference because there's
a difference. Tell me, do you like seeing these memes?
Seven oh four five, seven oh eleven tens? Serious, serious question.

(01:00:32):
It's a it's a direct, serious question. I will take
exactly three three calls on this. Do you do you
like the back and forth of this? Just because it's
there's nothing else to do, Like this is this is
a pastime now and you know what's happened, what's happened
with the president? Seven four five, seven eleven ten. What's

(01:00:53):
going to happen is they're just going to expect in
the future that this happens every time there's a shutdown.
So like, what's the memage gonna be, what's the memadge
gonna gonna show up? As that's the big question. Now
I'm waiting I'm I'm waiting for that which should never happen,

(01:01:18):
that which should never happen, and that is somebody going
too far, somebody going too far, because once you go
too far, then it's not funny. It's no longer funny
if you go too far with it. Like, for example,
if you put a mohawk on somebody's head, like you know,

(01:01:40):
like a punk rocker kind of mohawk, look like Swollwell,
So that's just a name, that's just a name that
came to mind, like he has like he's trying to
be like a tough guy. You're saying, that's too far.
I think that's too far. Mohawk and like mohawk and
somebody you know, I think mohawk and going this way
instead of going vertical, No, don't go vertical, go horizontal.

(01:02:03):
That's a pretty cool look.

Speaker 15 (01:02:05):
I think the only line we should have is like,
if it's funny, it plays.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yes, it's not funny, fun but see funny. In this
day and age, people sue people, shoot people, sue people,
do a lot of stuff, and they could because there's
we have lost as a result of COVID. We have
lost the ability to consume comedy, which is why I

(01:02:29):
have a series of outlets where I deploy my comedy
that nobody knows about. I have a secret operation where
I do my comedy and only a select few fifteen
thousand people are about it.

Speaker 15 (01:02:47):
So you've got like a let's say, a comedy OnlyFans
what I know now, no zero percent of that. It's
more like, let's be honest, it's more like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
A you see you just you took something so wholesome
and beautiful and you made it so tawdry. It's a
tawdry take. Oh my black market comedy. It is not
black market comedy. It is it is. It is incisive comedy.
It is phenomenal comedy. You know. I the beauty of

(01:03:17):
the jest comes out would say that's what it is.
And so I but I have a I have a
very specific group of people that I allow to see
my comedy. Do you know all?

Speaker 11 (01:03:29):
Like?

Speaker 15 (01:03:29):
So there are all fifteen thousand dear friends who you
trust with your comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Those are the people that I trust. Okay, and then
I have another there's another seven thousand I do not trust,
but I allow them to be aware generally.

Speaker 15 (01:03:43):
Not specifically, more of a general aware, a general awareness
as a general awareness there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Yeah, that's absolutely.

Speaker 15 (01:03:49):
You know, some would say that some groups, some who
didn't lose comedy, you know, didn't lose their people killed comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Comedy was killed? What comedy? Yes, a lot of comedy
has been killed because people don't have the ability to
have sences humor. Let me give you an example. Okay,
where is the coolest place that you could do stand
up comedy anywhere in the world? New York by New York. No,
all right, where's the coolest You ready for this? This

(01:04:18):
is true? And if if you think I'm lying, you
look it up right now. I'm ready. Saudi Arabia has
got a comedy festival. That's the coolest place to do. Goamdy.
Saudi Arabia has a comedy festival. It's like it's running
like for a month. Unfortunately. And I'm not making a

(01:04:42):
joke about this. This is this is one hundred percent true.
It begins on the anniversary of Koushogi when he got
killed over in Turkey at the at that at that
at that place. And they're not trying they're trying to say, like, no,
it's just that was the date that was available for
the comedy show there and I'm not joking about this.

(01:05:04):
This was this was a CNN story today. This was
a CNN Pete dominic leftist wacko. He was talking about it.
Erica was the the anchor. This is like five thirty
in the morning, okay. And so, yes, comedy is coming
to Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 15 (01:05:20):
You know you really you gotta be quite brave to
do comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
And why you're at a club right? You're there in a
club that the king is sitting there looking at you,
and you just you just got to figure out what
you can't joke about. They're pretty firm believers in capital punish.
There's stuff that you're just you're not supposed to talk about,
like things you just you have a it's off limits,
like there's no there's no limits. You can do whatever

(01:05:47):
you want, you know. That's that's it though. But yeah,
they that's one of the coolest places you could do comedy.
Why are you that's Saudi Arabia is a lot. That's
one of the hot Jackson went there. I believe that
he went. He went and spent time in Saudi Arabia.
Was it at a comedy thing or no? I don't
think he was doing stand up that night. Sometimes she'd

(01:06:07):
end up sitting down, sit down comedy. Well, I just
I just wonder, because I'm a big fan of comedy.
Who is I like comedy, But I just wonder, like,
what happens you get that? You get that hand goes
up and then it goes down. Where are you going?
Are they putting you into the into the shoot where
you go outside and now you're no longer welcome in

(01:06:28):
the Kingdom? I don't know. I don't know, but you
could look it up. It's the Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival.
This is true. This is real. I believe you. Okay,
it really is real. I did not make that up.
That's why it's the coolest place to go because it's
so hot there. News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to

(01:07:10):
three WBT. It is the Bretwinerble Show. It is good
to be with you, and it's good for you to
be with me as well. And I appreciate that as
much as as anybody can really in this we're in
this crazy world, right we understand what's going on? Are
you as tired as I am when it comes to

(01:07:32):
having to always be the person that has to be
the bigger person. And I don't mean that based on size,
but you know, we always have to apologize, we always
have to do all of these different things. We have
to take this into account, and that into the account.
I miss the days. I miss the days when things
were just abundantly clear, all right, And so I want

(01:07:54):
to I want to start with something that I think
is very important. This is gonna be cut number eight.
There's a professor. There's a professor called Scott Galloway. He's
a business professor at NYU. So he's in New York City.
He's at NYU. He happens to be a Jewish guy,

(01:08:18):
all right, And he was asked a question about, well,
why is it that the Israelis don't just stop fighting
against Hamas? Why does that not happen? Why do they
have to do stuff differently than what the rest of
the world does. And I thought that that was a

(01:08:39):
fascinating piece of analysis that he was talking about. So
I want to play this clip, and this is something
that I think is important because he does make a
very poignant message here about why it is that the
Israelis have always got to be the people that have
to apologize or ask or or do the thing. They

(01:09:01):
can't just run their country. And this is cut number eight.
Scott Galloway fired.

Speaker 16 (01:09:06):
Up servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We go on to
kill three and a half million Japanese, including one hundred
thousand and one night twenty eight hundred Americans. In nine
to eleven. We go on to kill four hundred thousand
people in Afghanistan, in Iraq. We weren't accused of genocide.
You had if Mexico had elected a Jihatis cartel to

(01:09:27):
run their country and then they incurred into Texas and
on a per capita basis, killed thirty five thousand people
or the population of the University of Texas, and on
the way back took the freshman class at SMU hostage
and hid them under tunnels. What would we do, It'd
be the Great Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews are
not allowed and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war,

(01:09:49):
and they are prosecuting a war more humanly than we
have done. The ratio of combatants to civilians is a
civilian death to combatant mortality is lower than a mosol,
lower than it was in Japan, lower was in Germany.
So there's just a different standard for Jews in Israel
when it comes to prosecuting a war. They're allowed to
fight back to a truce, but unlike America or any

(01:10:12):
other Western nation that has attacked as viciously, they're not
allowed to win a war. It's a double standard.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Tell me if you agree with that, because I've heard
time and time again from different people from different backgrounds saying,
why do they just stop? Like why do they why
do they stop? Why don't they just finish what they
have to do and then they'll have peace and they'll
have all that sort of stuff, right that you hear

(01:10:39):
that from people, But this is a country that was attacked,
that was attacked brutally, that was attacked. I mean, they
people have forgotten it. It's crazy when you think about
the two scenarios, and the two scenarios are this scenario
number one Ukraine Scenario number two Israel. Ukraine has been

(01:11:06):
fighting and battling and doing things. They send they send
weaponry into Russian territory. They're using all sorts of drones.
We're giving them state of the art weapons. We're doing
all of that at the same time, right, and we're
backing them up and NATO's backing them up. Right. You

(01:11:28):
got NATO members, NATO members, and I know Israel is
not a NATO country, but you have you have NATO
members who are telling Israel, no, you got to give
them territory, give them, give give them Hamasa Stan do
this sort of stuff. And Trump comes out this week

(01:11:48):
and what does he say. He says, this is the deal,
take it or leave it. This is the deal. And
they're still fooling around. Hamas is still fooling around with
the details of the deal. And so what's gonna happen.
I've seen this one hundred times. I've seen it a

(01:12:09):
hundred times in my lifetime. Hamas is gonna go and
pull something. Oh wait, they did it today. Did you
guys see what happened in England today? In England, it's
all over It's all over the press, but you're not
seeing it because the shutdown stuff is the most important
thing in the world. You had people commemorating and celebrating

(01:12:32):
Yum Kapor and you had terrorists go in and stab
them while they were worshiping, stab them with knives and
all that sort of stuff. Now, is that the Hamas
people or is that another offshoot of somebody else who's

(01:12:54):
not Harmas. You know, you look at Mundami and you
see what Mandamie wants to do in New York City.
He wants everything to be socialized, he wants everything to
be this, that the other thing. But he refuses to
go and talk to the to Jewish constituents. And he
keeps saying, Oh, I'm gonna I am gonna talk to him.

(01:13:14):
I am gonna talk to him. I am gonna talk
to him. I think he figures that because he went
on the view like it covers everybody in New York.
But the fact of the matter is this, this is
a problem. So so Hamas has not yet responded to
the deal. We've seen Jews murdered and wounded in England,

(01:13:35):
which has a massive problem when it comes to the ideology.
That is the problem when they come up and walk
around with Jewish people, which I don't understand in my life,
but that's that's it's terrible. So Scott Galloway, this is
a very important thing that he's said, but I want

(01:13:55):
to play it again. Cut number eight. Scott Galloway on
the double standard in the fight Go.

Speaker 16 (01:14:01):
Twenty two hundred American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We
go on to kill three and a half million Japanese,
including one hundred thousand and one night twenty eight hundred Americans.
In nine to eleven, we go on to kill four
hundred thousand people in Afghanistan, in Iraq, we weren't accused
of genocide. You had if Mexico had elected a Jihatis
Kartel to run their country and then they incurred into

(01:14:23):
Texas and on a per capita basis, killed thirty five
thousand people or the population of the University of Texas,
and on the way back, took the freshman class at
SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels. What would we do,
It'd be the Great Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews
are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute
a war, and they are prosecuting a war more humanly

(01:14:45):
than we have done. The ratio of combatants to civilians
is of civilian death to combatant mortality is lower than
it was in Mosil, lower than it was in Japan,
lower was in Germany. So there's just a different standard
for Jews in Israel when it comes to prosecute in
a war. They're allowed to fight back to a truce,
But unlike America or any other Western nation that has

(01:15:07):
attacked us viciously, they're not allowed to win a war.
It's a double standard.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
And the reality is, by the way, we didn't We
didn't fight to win a war in Afghanistan. We were
nation building and and and obviously the same thing in
Iraq the first Iraq War. We went in and hammered
a bunch of stuff, But but we were we were
nation building. We we couldn't allow people like the leftist

(01:15:35):
wackos to see a war actually happen that would be successful,
because it's scary and it's mean and it's awful. So
I got a message from somebody and they they said

(01:15:56):
that the mortal comat that now exists, And I'm assuming
he's talking about inside the United States is being fought
out in Ai. Because of all the memes and the stuff.
It's like mem wars. It's like all these mem wars.
There's something to that. I mean, I think there is

(01:16:17):
something to that. I think he's got I think he's
got a point that in that regard. Danny, Welcome to
the program, Danny, what's on your mind? Can you hear me,
I can hear you.

Speaker 12 (01:16:28):
Okay, listen. I wanted to make a couple of points,
and I'll try to do it really quickly. I don't
think comparing World War Two to what's going on in
Gaza is really a serious comparison, because in World War
Two we were fighting actual militaries. And number two, when
we went into World War two, we didn't have any
rules in place for war because from World War One

(01:16:51):
to World War Two we developed B two bombers, atomic bombs,
all types of mass killing devices that when we got
into World War Two, that's exactly what ended up happening.
But we do have rules now.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:17:06):
I would also say, in World War Two we used
flame throwers. Would it be all right for Israel to
go when they were flamethrowers and burn people out of
their houses?

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
I don't know. I don't think that they're I don't
think that they need to use flamethrowers.

Speaker 12 (01:17:23):
No, But the argument is we use them in World
War two, Yeah, so we should be able to use whatever.

Speaker 11 (01:17:29):
One.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Now that's not true. That's not true at all, because
I can undercut your argument in two seconds. You want
me to do it, okay, Chemical chemical warfare in World
War One, did not did not come over into World
War two because.

Speaker 12 (01:17:43):
We had rules against no.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
They would rules. Hitler had rules. You think Hitler had rules,
Come on, get out of here.

Speaker 12 (01:17:49):
No, no, no, no. And I'll show you if you
look at how many of our POWs died in German
prison camps compared to the Russians, which were not a
signatory of the global rules. They killed millions of Russians.
Are starving them to death that were soldiers.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Well, the Russians. The Russians were their partner. The Russians
where their partner. Initially they were until they weren't until
they went into until they went into Poland. Right, I mean,
that's it so so so okay, I get it, I
get it. I get your point.

Speaker 13 (01:18:20):
Yeah, is Geneva convention.

Speaker 12 (01:18:22):
Yeah, Hitler abided by the Geneva with dude, with the
United States.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
The Geneva Convention, the Geneva conventions.

Speaker 12 (01:18:31):
I just said about the treatment of POWs. Yes, how many.
If you just look at the few American soldiers that
died in camps, it's very few of them, but they
killed millions of Russians.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
The Geneva did, Geneva Conventions weren't adopted until nineteen forty nine,
after the war, after the war.

Speaker 12 (01:18:50):
After World No, no, no, we had.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
The Geneva Conventions are a set of four international treaties
and two additional protocols.

Speaker 12 (01:18:58):
You see you see to agree with me that using
flamethrowers and God.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
Okay, yes, yes, yes, Danny, you know what, Danny, Yes,
I forswear the use of flamethrowers. Thank you for the call.
It was very enlightening. Man. You want to talk about
Lake arguing on the top of a of a of
a teeny tiny argument. I thought you were going to
bring me something much bigger than that. But that's okay,

(01:19:28):
I mean, it's all right. I understand people get very emotional,
and unfortunately that's that's the way things go. Don welcome
to the program.

Speaker 11 (01:19:36):
Done, yes, sir, Ray you can probably help me. I
forget exactly where if it was in Genesis when the
Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, they came across a nation.
They were so evil, and I know it's happened more
than once, Sonoma and Kamara. I've been once where everything
was destroyed. The one I'm talking about is where God

(01:19:57):
instructed the Jews, Israelites to destroy everything, even the crops
and the animals in the field, because the nation was
so wicked. Personally, I'm in favor of the Israelite, So
what I mean the Jews, my opinion is whatever is
necessary to get the leaders and the instigators of a
moss to stop is probably something like total annihilation. And

(01:20:23):
you hate to see in us that people suffer, but
that may be what it comes to. And any comments,
if you can clarify my people in the Bible, that
would be great. And thank you, Brett, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Thank you, thank you for calling in on the program.
So you know, God, if you actually go to Gaza,
if you look at Gaza where the territory is right,
it's four thousand years of people who had settled there,
including I believe, if I'm not mistaken, and I could

(01:20:55):
easily very well be mistaken. There were Philistines there as
well once of time. But but the fact of the
matter is, UH, when when you look at war and
you instigate a war, which is what was done on
October the seventh, UH four years ago, three years ago,

(01:21:16):
you you see a situation that is abundantly clear here,
and that is that they decided to attack. They targeted
civilians exclusively. They because they knew if they were going
to fight the IDF that it would the IDF would
wipe them out. So they decided they were going to
go and target civilians. That is that is the great disgusting,

(01:21:41):
horrible thing that that occurred here, that going after civilians.
And if people I think people have forgotten what that
looked like. Uh, and maybe they didn't want to see
what that looked like. They went to the music festival,
they massacred people, they did think to human beings. That

(01:22:03):
would have been right out of the Hitler playbook and
all that sort of stuff. So when you go and
start a war, not you me and personally that, but
when you have a war, you have to fight a
war so that the enemy does not want to come
back at you, does not have the ability to do that.

(01:22:24):
And there's a lot of ways you can do it.
But unfortunately, and I will give credit to Bill Clinton
on one very specific thing. He brought Yasir Arafat and
Ahud Barak to the White House to try to get
a peace deal, and Bill Clinton was made to look

(01:22:45):
like a joke. He chased Yasir Arafat all around the
property and Arafat would not take the deal. He got
ninety I think it was ninety six percent of the deal,
and Arafats said, no, Okay. By the way, people always

(01:23:07):
talk about Yasir Arafat being the great head of the
people who were suing for peace against the Israelis and
all that sort of stuff. Yasir Arafat was an Egyptian.
He wasn't even a Palestinian. He was an Egyptian. He
picked up that cause to try to connect with it.

(01:23:30):
But the fact of the matter is the only way
you're gonna get peace is through this effort that I
think that Trump is trying to do. And if that
then doesn't work, Bibe Danyau is going to be on
his own and he's gonna have to go and do
what he's got to do. This is why we should
never start wars unless you know exactly what that outcome

(01:23:50):
is going to be, because you have to ask people
to go and sacrifice their kids, their husbands, their mothers,
their wives, all of that. You cannot go on a
flippant sort of trip and say, yeah, let's just go
have a war. Wars beget wars. Beget wars until somebody

(01:24:12):
is in charge of everything. That's why World War two
ended the way it did. The Great American Arsenal was
the reason why we triumphed after the war. But what
did we do. We turned around and we rebuilt all
of those countries Germany, we rebuilt Germany, we rebuilt France,

(01:24:36):
we rebuilt England. In many ways, this was a big deal.

(01:24:58):
I have to do it. I gotta do it. You
know where I'm going. This is not the thing that
we were talking about for a long time, but this
is the thing that is now happening. So this is
one of the important things that you guys need to
know because when this happens, then you have to understand
exactly what's going on here. Space. Yes, Isaac, Okay, let

(01:25:25):
me just say something. Isaac is a spacist. He doesn't
like space. I used to be I used to be
a spacist. I used to not want to have anything
to do with space. But now I've become infected by space.
So now I'm not pro space at Allso still hate it.
It would never go up there. Don't want to do it.

(01:25:46):
But listen to this list. Oh boy, see take you
behind the curtain for a second. Here, ladies and gentlemen, Isaac.
Isaac gets nervous when I start telling him about the
things that up going up there in space. So here's
here's the headline from CBS News, or if you don't
like that, you can see BS News. So here it

(01:26:10):
is mysterious rogue planet spotted gobbling six billion tons of
gas and dust a second. How does the planet gobble?
It's in gobbling. A mysterious rogue planet has been observed
gobbling six billion tons of gas and dust a second.

(01:26:35):
That an unprecedented rate that blurs the line between planets
and stars, astronomers said on Thursday. That's today, this is
new news. Unlike Earth and other planets in our Solar system,
which orbit the Sun, rogue planets float freely through the universe,

(01:26:56):
untethered to a star. So that thing's just going like
wherever it wants to go. You guys, remember the pac
Man game. That's what we got. Scientists estimate there could
be there could be trillions of rogue planets in our
galaxy alone, trillions trillions, but they are difficult to spot

(01:27:20):
because they mostly drift quietly along in perpetual night. I
love this. Do you think about think about what God
built for us. Man, this is awesome. This is phenomenal.
I mean, this is this is pretty cool. People think
of planets as quiet and stable worlds. But with this

(01:27:42):
discovery we see the planetary mass objects freely floating in
space can be exciting places. Let me just go back
to that first sentence. People think of planets as quiet
and stable worlds. You get disabused of that second semester
freshman year in college because a lot of those people

(01:28:05):
that you might have thought is quiet and stable. You're
going I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving and
Christmas because these are not stable. These are not stable people.
I like it, and they're quiet. I don't like that
at all. And it is you know, the freshman fifty. Yeah,
that plan is gonna need PhD weight laws of it one.
I mean the freshman fifty is real? Is it? Fifty?

(01:28:28):
It is not?

Speaker 15 (01:28:28):
Fifteen? Oh, fifty is insane. If you come home for
Thanksgiving fifty pounds heavier, you're going to hospital.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Why did I say it was?

Speaker 15 (01:28:39):
The fifty feels better, the fifty fills That's why she
dumped you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
Yea, No, because you went fifty. You went fifty instead
of fifteen.

Speaker 15 (01:28:47):
If you gain fifty pounds in a semester, you've got
a serious problem.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
Or you're lifting a lot. Yeah, yeah, I lift a
lot of steroids. You're lifting well, you know, well, you know, happens.
Things happen, accidents sometimes once in a while. A team
of researchers behind the new study was stunned to observe
an astonishing growth spurt. There we go, the freshman fifty

(01:29:13):
in a rogue planet around six hundred and twenty light
years from Earth in the in the constellation. See this,
I don't like. I don't like the name of the constellation.
I'm not going over there. I'll do comedy. I'll go
see comedy in the Saudi Arabia desert. But I'm not
going here. This is, uh, the constellation Chameleon. Really, that's

(01:29:36):
what it is. Not good, that's what it is. Are
you kidding me? I don't like it. I mean, come on,
so that's I mean, that's the thing. I mean. I'm
just like, I just was taken away by a quick
moment there thinking about like what this is. So, I mean,
it's it's just it's one of the the planet officially

(01:29:58):
called this is what the planet's called why do we
name them?

Speaker 5 (01:30:01):
This?

Speaker 1 (01:30:02):
This they're going to invade us and kill us. Okay,
this one is called Cha eleven O seven seven six
two six has a mass five to ten times bigger
than Jupiter. I'm done. That's it. I can't take it anymore.
I mean, I just I'm sitting back here and I'm
just going, how does this happen? That said it does?
It could be the freshman fifty, it could be a

(01:30:24):
freshman five hundred. These things are huge. I mean, he said,
what are we talking about?

Speaker 10 (01:30:29):
That?

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
This is crazy? Okay? NASA validates, Yeah, Isaac's gonna he's
gonna run out of here when I say this one.
This is another story. This is another story. NASA validates
a Martian message, a living DNA animation and the shocking takeaway.
So they think that there were once upon a time
there was something alive on the on the on the

(01:30:51):
on the Mars. Yes, which means which means, what think
about this Mars Mars? Right? Who wants to go to
Mars really badly? You know who it is? Who is
it that he wants to go? Who wants to go
Elon wants to go up there? I think he wants
to get some DNA. I think he wants some of
the DNA. No, no, no, I'm gonna bring it back.

(01:31:12):
Come on, I gotta leave it there. You can't bring
it back. If it's dead, you could reanimate it, can't.
You imagine what the wolves? The wolves they brought back.
Oh the wolves, they did bring the wolves back, that
is true. But the wolves are you just just make
a rug out of them? What I mean? I don't

(01:31:33):
think it's not Marsian. It's Martian. It's Martian stuff. Where
are they from? Where is it from Mars? So that
would mean it is a Here's what it says Mars. Mars,
the most earth like planet in our Solar system, has
a rocky terrain, recognizable weather patterns, and relatively predictable environment.
Unlike Venus, which destroys anything that lands on it. Is

(01:31:55):
that Freshman fifty again. Mars allows exploration without a mediate disaster.
Over the years, rovers have been sent there to touch
the soil, the rocks, the atmosphere, really laying the groundwork
for human missions. I don't I don't want that. See
just stay there, don't don't stay there. I'm going to

(01:32:17):
go back to that, to that rogue planet. Because that
rogue planet. I mean that name, that name is fantastic.
I mean, you see this name, what's the name that name?
That name is, it's that name is, it's it's a
it's a bunch of numbers. Who here it is. The
planet is officially called Cha eleven O seven seven six
two six and has a mass five to ten times

(01:32:41):
bigger than Jupiter. So that's that's what's going on there.
But if you need to get over there, and you
want to get over there, you got to make sure
you know where you're going and that that that reality
itself is over there in the Chamelion, in the Chamelion,
the rogue planet in the constellation Chameleon. Wow, that's how

(01:33:07):
they know where to land. That's your freshman fifty right,
come and go, they come and go. I mean, come
on now. News Talk eleven ten, nine nine three WVT
Brett Winterboll Show. Good to be with you. All right,
let's jump out and talk to Mike. Mike, welcome to

(01:33:28):
the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (01:33:31):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:33:32):
Hello, how you doing? I'm good? Thanks?

Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
Hey, love me show.

Speaker 10 (01:33:37):
Thank you call me off guard. Sorry I'm the one
that called in. Really about the this is a side
note about the light rail and the security offers. Are
all of them hanging out in the back instead of
being one on each six And that's that's not why
I'm calling I was the one that called in about
that earlier today. I'm sure y'all had a topic on
it that he can get to hear, okay, But my
main thing was, I'm going back to the purf between

(01:34:00):
Israel and Palast on all this turf wars going on.
I wish I could have heard Charlie's Kirk's take on this,
but I'm thinking now my dad told me growing up
going to church and different things that politics. My family's Lebanese,
and I would always hear, you know, different things about
the Middle East.

Speaker 13 (01:34:19):
My dad used to write part.

Speaker 10 (01:34:20):
Time for the gas on the Gazette as a gast
columnist too. He passed away in two thousand, but he
said a lot of this started when Abraham and Sarah
I couldn't have a kid. It was it was going
to be the promised land that God, would you know,
give them promise that to the firstborn blood air But
a surrogate was was brought in and and actually Ishmael

(01:34:43):
was the first born then later on in her life,
Sarah actually got to have a baby Isaac, but he's
the blood air, so you might have correct me if
I'm wrong. There's probably a little more to it than this,
But I'd like to know if that's sort of what's
going on with this terf is this battle over turf?

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
Well, I think I think the most yes, that that
that's a very important component of that. Uh, you know,
people are always going to go and try to you know,
figure out how how you can you know, get get
this piece of territory, that piece of territory and all
of that. The challenge is and I think something that
people really over, that they really don't consider is this

(01:35:26):
is a very tight neighborhood like this is this is
a really small piece of real estate that has been
fought over for a very very long time. And and
you know, I think that there are grievances, and there
are promises, and there are things that are out there
that have to be dealt with, and nobody wants to
give up their their territory. Nobody wants to uh you know,

(01:35:50):
make make those concessions or things like that. And so look,
the world is is a place that is imperfect and
it is a place where we are all for all
in people and we and so I think I think
that's a that's a big part of it. But I
do appreciate you, uh check it in with me, Mike.
Thank you for calling in. And I do appreciate the conversation. Unfortunately,

(01:36:15):
I I don't I don't see that this gets fixed
in any big way unless unless the the Hamas people
are willing to do a deal or or do something
like that. And and that's that's the challenge that we've
We've all got to kind of you know, process and
understand and do all that sort of stuff too. But

(01:36:39):
let's go back to what it is that's going on
here in Washington, d C. So we we still have
the shut shutdown is still in effect. We've got all
that happening. We've also got a couple of interesting things.
Uh exclusive Fannie May Freddie Max New York offices to
shut her in response to AG james corrupt practices. WHOA,

(01:37:06):
Now we got ourselves a big bad story. New York States.
Fannie May and Freddie Mac offices will permanently close in
direct response to Attorney General Letitia James's corrupt and dangerous
business practices in the state. Quote, we are shutting down

(01:37:29):
the two New York offices for Fanny and Freddie as
a result of Letitia James's corrupt and dangerous business practices
in the in the state. A source close to the
Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees government sponsored enterprises, told
Fox News Digital a public announcement on the closures is

(01:37:54):
set for later today. It may have actually come down,
maybe it hasn't come down yet, but the hf the
FHFA is an independent federal agency that oversees Fannie May,
Freddie Mack, and the Federal Home Loan bank system. James
is a longtime political foe of President Trump's, including campaigning

(01:38:20):
for the Attorney general job in twenty eighteen by vowing
to aggressively pursue legal charges against Trump if elected. And
that's what she went and tried to do. Her office
leveled nearly one hundred challenges against the Trump organization. The
anticipated shuddering of Fanny and Freddy in New York comes

(01:38:45):
after a Department of Justice opened an investigation into James's
personal mortgages. This is a big scandal that's moving still,
and so what do we end up with? Well. Letitia
James has denied any wrongdoing, including her office, telling The
New York Times in April that a separate loan off

(01:39:08):
application was what went through there. And now we wait
and see. Now we wait and see. Fannie Mae, Freddie
mac big stuff. Are the dominoes about to fall? We
don't know, but I do know one thing. Break in
with Brett Jensen comes by next News Talk eleven.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
