Speaker 1 (00:12):
News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT. It's
the Brett Waterbuw Show. It is great to be with you.
A lot of things happening, a lot of things. Welcome
back to the folks who were in government. I know
everybody was very, very concerned that we were not going
to get this thing back on the right track. And
I am happy to see that we have been able

(00:33):
to get this government back opened again, because, for goodness sakes,
do you know how hard it is to just talk
about that for like forty five days straight. I mean,
that is that is like America held hostage just to
steal a phrase. And I am so glad that we
are now back in business. The Democrats, as far as
I can see, are not satisfied with their fishing hunt

(01:00):
trying to get the people to buy into the the
Epstein stuff. I think this thing is just not working
for them. To me, it looks like right now, and
I'm just being I gotta be honest with you. To me,
it looks like the Democrat Party, the Democratic Party, whatever
you want to call it, they are snake bit at
this stage of the game. They are snake bit. They

(01:21):
they are not uh, they are not ready for prime time.
And it's all because you. You kept these people in
power far too long. And I'm being honest with you.
I'm not trying to just be chippy or anything like that.
But let me tell you. When you when your two
best messengers are Chuck Schumer and Nanci Pelosi, uh, you

(01:43):
got a real problem. And the problem you have is
you don't have normal people in the majority in the
Democratic Party. What I mean by that is this, you have, uh,
you have the moldy oldies, right if, the moldy oldies
who don't know what they're doing, and then you have
incredibly whacked out radicals on the other side of this.

(02:05):
And there is nobody in the middle that wants to
try to do anything that's successful except for one guy.
And I feel really badly about what happened here. John Fetterman,
earlier today was transported to the hospital after suffering injuries

(02:29):
from a fall. Now, this man has been doing a
really great job in messaging talking to people. He's talking
to Republicans, he's talking to Democrats, he's talking to independence.
He seems to be somebody who really cares in a
very serious way about the direction of the country. I
would say, you know, regardless of being a Democrat or

(02:50):
anything like that, I would say, you know, this is
a man who believes in the United States of America,
and I respect him for that I do. Senator John Fetterman,
Democrat from Pennsylvania, was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
on Thursday, after suffering injuries from a fall that he
took during near his home. During an early morning walk,

(03:13):
Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock.
Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to
a hospital in Pittsburgh, and upon evaluation, it was established
that he had a ventricular fibrillation flare up that led
to Senator Fetterman's feeling lightheaded and a fell to the

(03:35):
ground and hit his face. He's got minor injuries. Senator
Fetterman had this to say. If you thought my face
looked bad before, wait until you see it now. All right,
that's good. He's in good spirits. He is doing well
and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted
to stay so that the doctors can fine tune his

(03:58):
medication regimen, and Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs,
the doctors and nurses who are all providing his care.
So you know, if you're if you're a person who
is inclined to, you know, pray or wish wish him well,
I think there's nothing wrong with that. I certainly have
disagreements with people in the world of politics, but I
don't want to see anybody die. I don't want to

(04:19):
see anybody harmed. I want to I want to win
the argument. I don't want to have you know, terrible
other things kind of deals happening, because that's not the
way you want to win. The way you want to
win is you want to overcome objections as as salespeople do,
and you also at the same time you want to
be able to start to persuade people. And I think
that's that's really what it comes down to when when

(04:42):
you think about it. I've got I've got a number
of clips here and I think I'm I think I'm
gonna play this one. Have you got cut thirty four?
Cut thirty four? It's you got it? Okay? So this
is John Fetterman and Kiti Kirk. It was either today

(05:03):
or yesterday. Listen to this. I think I think Katie
Kirk really does not like Charlie Kirk, and John Fetterman
is just trying to have a conversation GOT thirty four.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Do you think that flags should have been flown at
half staff? Do you think his body should have been
flown on air force too? Do you think he should
have posthumously be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I
think some people felt that that was perhaps over the
top in terms of mourning someone liked Charlie Kirk. How

(05:39):
did you feel about that?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative,
and that's where that's and that was that was really
entirely up to him.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Did you have any issues now in hindsight over some
of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of
the rhetoric he used during his life.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I didn't agree with much of it. I didn't closely
followed his specific kinds of views, but I did.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I'm sure you learned about them after his death, though.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, I haven't done a deep dive on it, you know,
I described I mean, we've all seen that terrible video,
perhaps if you've seen the actual video I have, and
it's like appalling, and that's part of the political violence,
and from what I'm saying, it's like that's unacceptable and
engaging in a debate and views I strongly disagree on.

(06:33):
That's part of the American democracy, and for me, it's
that would never justify what's happened, and I just chose
not to take the opportunity to argue his views after
after children loft his father in the most violent public way.
I mean, so that's I would say the equivalent, The

(06:56):
equivalent on the left might be say, mister Piker, I
strongly disagree with his views, but I would I am appulled
if something like that happened to him.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I mean, that's you know, like we have to we
have to disagree in better ways where you know you're
going to solve it by shooting people. And that's why
the kinds of rhetoric we have to turn the temperature down.
Extreme rhetoric makes it easier for extreme reactions or to
justify them.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I think some people might say Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was extreme,
you know, I think that's the conversation that happened. People
condemned political violence, but they also felt a great deal
of discomfort with his language. Suggesting that these kinds of
words lead to violence. I don't know. I'm just kind

(07:48):
of sharing my observations as I saw the conversations unfold.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think we agree that
we probably didn't agree three with much of what he said,
but I think I'm sure we both agree that you
shouldn't shoot people, you know, and you shouldn't execute them
in public. And that's I think that's two things must
be true that free speech. I'm an absolute free speech guy,

(08:19):
and you have the right to say these things, and
you definitely also have the right not to get shut
by sharing year views.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
What a great take. That's a totally reasonable person. There
are people on the left who, well, we saw, we
saw how people reacted in the aftermath of the killing
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk seven four five seven
zero eleven ten. Coming up at four thirty five, Michael
Wattley will be joining us two segments. We're taking your

(08:49):
phone calls, your reaction to the to the end of
the shutdown, tell us your thoughts seven oh four five
sevenho eleven ten. We certainly hope that editor Fetterman heals
up quickly. Here's talk eleven ten, not a nine three WBT.

(09:16):
All right, so the government is back and open, right
we are. We are getting things back to how it
should have been. It should never have come to this,
by the way, but unfortunately Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries
and the cast of thousands wanted this thing to be
shut down. But I just came across a stat that
is un believable. An unbelievable stat How much do you

(09:44):
think it cost to shut down the government? What was
the total toll just by shutting the government down. Here's
what it was. The good folks over from the Democratic
Party decided they were gonna shut the government down. They

(10:05):
shut the government down. Each week it was fifteen billion
dollars a week. They were out for six weeks. Six weeks.
That's ninety billion dollars for nothing. Do you understand why

(10:27):
Trump was so mad last night? He was furious last night.
He was saying, why would we do this? Why you
got nothing for this? You you tried to look like
you were doing something important, but it wasn't important at all.
They just decided they were gonna burn money. They were
just gonna burn They were just gonna take it and

(10:48):
light it on fire. Why would you like think about
all of the the the discord. People had to go
to the airport, they had to get home, they had
to go to funerals, they had to go to weddings,
they had to go to all this stuff, and they

(11:09):
canceled these flights, like the Schumer shut down should go down.
I'm gonna say this. I'll just say it right now.
I'll just say this. What Chuck Schumer did with Hakeem Jeffries, okay,
and the Democrats who refused to break the logjam until

(11:29):
just you know, in the last couple of days, that
is an economic I'm serious when I say this. This
is that is an economic insurrection. You attempted to take
the American economy down. And if you guys thought that
J six was bad, sure we can say Jay six
was bad. But let me tell you something. What you

(11:50):
guys pulled ninety billion dollars just to burn it. That's
I would put that is fifteen times worse. Fifteen times worse.
And every Republican should be on on TV saying, you
know what, we cannot have an economic armageddon ever again.
You know, Mandami wants to do all the big fancy affordability, affordability, affordability.

(12:12):
The dude is rich, it's easy for him to say
it's affordable. But what happened in this particular iteration of
the shutdown of the government. What did you guys get
for this? Honestly, that goofy guy that calls all the
time with the with the horrible connection and he uses

(12:35):
different names. Hi, my name is is Esteban. Hi, my
name is Winkler. Hi, my name is Loser. Every time
that guy calls, right, I know, I know exactly what
he sounds like, and he knows he got chopped yesterday
because you didn't get anything. You got three three emails
off of the Epstein stuff. And now the Democrat Party

(13:00):
is too lazy to even go looking through all twenty
five thousand pages of it. They just wanted to go
and find the search for Trump. Search for Trump. Okay,
you search for Trump, you search for Trump. So what
did you get out of that? What was that all about?
I mean, I'm looking at these people and I just

(13:22):
I feel pity. I feel pity because I don't think
that they understand the damage they did to regular people.
People in the House, in the Senate are not regular people.
The regular people who had to be who had to
be put out because they couldn't get a flight, they

(13:44):
couldn't they couldn't get to where they had to go,
and all that sort of stuff. Man, that this is
what we just watched. From here on out. I will
refer to this as the Chuck Schumer j six because
you guys tried to do an economic riot and it's terrible.
It costs US ninety billion dollars. Ninety billion dollars, that

(14:06):
is horrific. Ninety billion dollars. Plus you have all of
these people worried about snap, all of these people worried
about the air traffic controllers, everybody else having to try to,
you know, stretch for their money and their dollars. Why
would you want to do that, Chuck Schumer. Why I'm

(14:29):
hearing from people that Chuck Schumer is eating by himself
in the cafetorium. You stated it used to be called
the cafetorium. Now it's the cafeteria. I think the cafetorium
sounds cooler because it's more like Latin. But the fact
of the matter is Chuck Schumer's sitting there. Nobody wants
to sit with him. Hakeem Jeffries is ghosting him. Swalwell

(14:51):
keeps coming around and God, God love him. But let
me tell you, Chuck Schumer does not want Swalwell walking
around because you know he's got accidental deliveries, you know,
if you know what I'm saying. So, I mean this is,
this is a problem. Chuck Schumer, though, had to do
the shutdown. Why did Chuck Schumer have to do the shutdown? Well,
the Wall Street Journal's got a piece on this, and

(15:13):
they're spot on with the way they broke this thing down.
The whole notion was that Chuck Schumer was not taken
seriously by anybody, and he had to pull a stunt. Guys,
remember when that congressman who's no longer a congressman decided
he was going to pull the fire alarm a couple
of years ago. That's what Chuck Schumer did. That's what

(15:34):
he did. And all you have to do is look
at the opening line of the piece. It's perfect. Ordinary
democrats didn't demand a shut down. Left wing nonprofits did, period,
full stop boom a government shut down as cause, what's
the Clausewit's didn't quite say, is the continuation of politics

(15:56):
by other means, so we might concluded, after the longest
and most nakedly political shutdown in US history, in raw
politicial politics terms, it's conceivable that a majority of voters
blame President Trump and the Republicans for the shutdown rather
than the Democrats who literally precipitated it, and it will

(16:21):
be around their neck for history. News Talk eleven ten
n nine three WBT, It's the Brett Waterbow Show. Seven

(16:42):
O four five seven zero eleven ten. Let's grab a
call from Roy.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
Roy.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
Hey, Brett, how are you doing, buddy?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm doing well. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
Well, I got a Robb you about the Spedermen thing.
It's just odd, you know, since he cassed over to
the dark side with this, you know, the bill and
all that kind of stuff that maybe Chuck and Nancy had.
We don't left to go visit him do a little
Nancy character and ankle adjustment.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't know. First of all, he would be hard
to take down. He's so big, you.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
Know, he's a big guy. But you know, tall tower fall.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, I guess, I guess. I don't want to believe that,
but I mean that's entirely possible, right, Well, of course,
I know. I get it. By the way, what do
you what's what's your sense of him? I mean, is
he is he trying to be like the guy in
the middle, or do you think he's just marching to
the beat of his own very large drum.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
One of the hardest reads I've ever seen. I mean,
when he first came on the scene, it's like nobody
believes in this guy, was right, you know, he doesn't
do anything, and he's like a tall, ranky shirt AOC.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yes, yes, yes, I know what to think.

Speaker 6 (17:45):
And then you know, and then he's middle of the road,
he's in and out, and then now he's kind of
leaning right or middle right. You know, it's just.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's weird, it really is.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
And I'm happy about it.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
But you know, sure, sure, but you know what's crazy.
I mean, I still well it's like, come on, man,
don't wear the sweatshirt. Just get put something else on.
Don't wear this. But you know what, I'll even I
know it's a signature. That's a good point, you know what,
that's a that's a really good point. Just like just
like John McCain used to say the same thing all
the time, right, remember what he would say he would say,

(18:18):
my friend's my friends, my friend's friends, and that's everybody's
got to everybody's got an act. So great.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
I mean you got to give him about the one thing.
Sure my face was bad before.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well that's see, yes it is, yes it is, and
that's great. So good stuff. Roy. I appreciate you being
out there, man, Thanks so much. You got it. Absolutely,
see spe I like this audience. This audience gets it.
They really do. They get it. And uh, you know,
it's nice to have that, to have that kind of

(18:50):
perspective on these things. All right, I am going to
go back to I'm sorry I have to do this
to you, but I am going to go back to
the Schumer thing. Okay, because Schumer, Schumer did ninety billion
dollars in damage to the United States. If you think
about it, I mean that that is, that's an awful

(19:12):
thing to do to the country. But he had his reasons.
He had his reasons. What it was, I couldn't tell you.
I really couldn't tell you. There are so many articles
being written about this guy and about like why you
would want to go and do this sort of thing,
and how how you didn't even get even an inch

(19:34):
an inch of territory. You got nothing. It was terrible.
And so it basically creates a situation where everybody is
made to be, you know, pushed out, and I don't.
I don't like it. I don't like it. And I
will tell you this. I'm you know, I'm a conservative.

(19:54):
I'm not a pinko COMI leftist. But I got to
tell you the SNAP thing is really ugly. This SNAP
thing is terrible. You had people who felt like they
were incredibly betrayed. They were really worried about not being
able to get food at any of that stuff, and

(20:14):
there was absolutely no effort that was going to be made.
There's a piece in the USA Today. Michael Collins penned
this over at the USA Today. Snap recipients feel betrayed
and judged. Amid government shutdown cuts. Four days a week

(20:35):
Tuesday through Friday, Leah Skinner climbs out of bed early,
gets her autistic son ready for school, takes her medication,
and heads to her job as a shift manager at McDonald's.
A single mother, Skinner, who asked to be identified by
her middle name to protect her privacy, has been working

(20:57):
since she was sixteen years old, but after two bad
brushes with COVID and two serious heart attacks. She no
longer has the stamina to pull the nine to twelve
hour shifts she used to put in regularly. Now she
works five hour shifts and relies on three hundred to

(21:18):
four hundred dollars in food stamps every month to supplement
her income, so three to four hundred dollars for a month.
This month, the food stamps never arrived. Instead, she got
a notice saying the benefits would not be coming because

(21:39):
of a funding battle between Republicans and Democrats in Washington
that shut down the federal government. No, no, no, you
know who's shut down the federal government. You know where
that goes. That came from Chuck Schumer and the Democrats
because they walked away. Everything else would have kept going.

(22:01):
So Democrats in Washington that shut it down the federal government.
Without the food assistance, she said, she'll be forced to
turn to help from a food bank, which means she
won't be able to get the vegetables, proteins and fibers
she needs for her heart healthy diet and to control
her diabetes. It's like a game of chess and they're

(22:24):
using us as ponds, said Skinner, who lives in Palmer Lake, Colorado.
She said of the funding fight in Washington, We're the
most sacrificeable peace and the least important on the board.
This one's getting hurt, she said, a lot of hard

(22:45):
working people who needed the help. Some forty two million
Americans receive food assistants every month through the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program or SNAP, formerly known as Food Stand, but
many recipients have been left wondering how they will put

(23:06):
food on the table after funding for the program lapsed
in November for the first time in its sixty year history.
Well again, Chuck Schumer should have made the effort, should
have stayed with this thing, But no, he wanted to
be famous. Now Chuck Schumer is the most famous laut
in all of Louttown. The Trump administration had asked the

(23:30):
Supreme Court to allow it to continue to withhold the
four billion dollars in funding for the program while the
government remained closed, and that case remains before the High Court. Well,
obviously that has now been simplified. They are now able
to get their food. They are now able to get
those things. But why would Chuck Schumer want to deny food?

(23:55):
There are vicious vicious people around the world who with
whole food from people who need the help. And unfortunately,
Chuck Schumer just you know, Chuck Schumer decided he was
going to Shumer America and he did. We got schumered.

(24:17):
News Talk eleven ten, nine of nine three WBT oh
oh oh. Representative Eric Swalwell's one point two million dollar
DC home is the target of a DOJ mortgage fraud
criminal referral. Wait, no, how's that gonna what representative? Okay? Now,

(24:39):
remember everybody's presumed innocent until guilty. Representative Eric Swalwell was
hit with a federal criminal referral for alleged mortgage and
tax fraud related to his purchase of a one point
two million dollar home in Washington, DC that he claimed

(24:59):
as a primary residence. Oh that's where you get burned.
You always get burned because your residence is supposed to
be where you are representing. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director
Bill Poulti bum Bu Bump Bum. In a Wednesday letter

(25:19):
to Attorney General Pam Bundy requested an investigation of Swallwell
based on his allegedly false and misleading statements he made
about the purchase the California Democrat. That's where he's that's
where his house is supposed to be. Was able to
secure millions of dollars worth of loans and refinancing based

(25:42):
on the primary residence declaration in DC. A source familiar
with a referral this house is nice, but it's like,
it's not that great one point two million. It's it's
kind of a it's just a regular It's like just
a regular house. It probably would be if this was
in uh, let's say, like if this was somewhere in

(26:04):
the middle of Texas, this house would probably be four
seventy five. Maybe I would guess the designation could constitute
mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, and state and local tax fraud,
among other charges. Oh, the backyard is just a horror show.
And there's a photograph of him in the backyard. What

(26:27):
is going on that puts you in the play? What
are you doing? That's awful? Awful, I tell you, Sureley,
welcome to the program. What's on your mind? Shirley, Hey
that question?

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yes, I firmly believe what you said about the ninety
billion dollars. Yes, but I need to know where that money.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
Was spent so that when I'm discussing this people in
my family, and I say, yeah, it costs ninety billion
dollars and go, oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
How it was. So it was it was the amount
of money is broken down by fifteen. It was fifteen
billion dollars a week. So so you add that up,
that's ninety billion dollars. That that stuff, right, you're talking
about having to you know, pay people jobs, you're talking

(27:17):
about floating people out of the jobs, You're talking about
all that other stuff. So that that that's where the
number comes from. The number is it was was fifteen
billion a week. That was the report out of the
White House, out of the White House. And so when
you do the six months, the six weeks, not six months,
thank god, it's it's ninety billions.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Yeah, I'm just curious as to.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
What the money was spent on, you know what I'm saying, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
Because if that's money that we would spent anyway.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
For for well like okay, so well and that sort
of thing, right.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
But so for example, like let's say there was a
hurricane that hit DC, right, and it cost them fifteen
billion dollars a week because they were shut down. So
that I think that's the way you would have to
kind of figure that they'll there'll be a report at
some point, so I think that's I'll definitely stay on
top of it. But that that is the number those.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
I'm just curious as to why.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
And to be shumered is the worst thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yes, it is due. Not be shumered. Schumered is Shumering
is a terrible thing. Thank you very much, Shirley.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
You're great.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right, you got it, Sean, welcome to the program.
What's on your mind? Sean?

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Let me make two comments right quick. Go ahead about
the food stamps. You made a big fuss about that.
Who stopped went to the Supreme Court and said, hey, no,
we're not giving food stamp. Who did that? The President
told his attorneys to go all the way up to
the Supreme Court. So don't don't try to spit said
he could have.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's true. No, No, you're right, that's true. I'm granted.
I'm granting. I'm granting that to you. Yes, go ahead, exactly.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
And one more this grant is and y'all, y'all, people listen.
I know they don't like to be talking, but listen.
And this bill. You know that what they put in
this bill. His people put in this bill. It was
eight people that got partnered ate me maybe three months ago. Whatever,
you partner them eight people who they the government invested
him about the voting. So they went all the way

(29:17):
back to twenty twenty one for these people. Listen, folks,
where these eight people can sue the government at five
hundred thousand dollars or just investigating for if they phone
they business phone. So this bill right here, y'all crying
about people not getting their money, but it's a cricket bill.

(29:38):
They did. You explain it to your folks. Don't try
to spend it one way. Explain this what I just
told you, because most of them won't listen to me.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
You just don't know it. Hold on, you just explained.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
It so every person can sue our tax fans.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Don't shun you. Just you did. You just explained it.
But let me tell you. But let me tell you something.
What's that the guy who's in charge of the House
is coming back. You know who that is, right, Mike Johnson.
Mike Johnson says he wants to pull that provision out
when they get back next week. So I think there's

(30:11):
going to be a fight over that at that period.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Okay, well, okay, well then let's get that out because.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
I can only just tell you what I heard. I
I don't have any ability to to you.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Know, if this president got anything to do with it
in his government.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I'm also glad. I'm also glad that you called
because you know I now know that you want to
see people who are on the system illegally out of
the country, right, thanks, man, I appreciate it. News Talk

(32:28):
eleven three WBT Brett Winterberle Show Hour number two Underway.
That's I wanted to come in with that for a
very specific reason, Okay, because every once in a while
you got to you gotta just kind of sit back
and say, Wow, what an accomplishment, What an incredible accomplishment.
And I want to salute a group of people who

(32:49):
are deserving of this. Bagpipers claim of the world record
with acdc's It's a Long Way to the Top. Okay,
all right. Melbourne, Australia, hundreds of bagpipers claimed a new
world record on Wednesday by belting out acdc's rock and
roll classic It's a Long Way to the Top. Billed

(33:12):
as the Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash, the eclectic performance took
place in Melbourne's Federation Square on Swanston Street, which was
the scene of the Australian Hard Rock Bands nineteen seventy
six film clip from which they played the hit on

(33:32):
the back of a flatbed truck traveling slowly through downtown
traffic and music blaring from the speakers. Federation Square is
also a short stroll from the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where
ac DC is scheduled to play their first Australian gig
in a decade. Today it may have already happened. Guitarist

(33:57):
Angus Young is the only band member who played on
the truck and is performing at the latest. At the
Latest Australian Tour, thousands of spectators crammed the square for
the world record attempt. Many of the three hundred and
seventy four pipers had to squeeze through the crowd to

(34:19):
get to the stage area. The oldest piper ninety eight
years old. Wow, No, don't try to throw back to
a movie from the nineteen nineties. Don't be doing there's
a piper dune. There's a piper dune. Among the bagpipers

(34:43):
was lend Less, Kale Field and Kevin Conlin, two of
the three members of the Rats of Tobrook Memorial Pipes
and Drums who played with ACDC on the truck forty
nine years ago. This is pretty cool, Like America is
a really cool country. But this is pretty cool that
they did this. It isn't I mean, it didn't strike

(35:04):
you at the time. How big this event was until now,
said Kenfield to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Now, it is
one of the greatest things, probably the greatest thing I've
ever done in my life, having been declared the world
record holders. The masked Pipers played Happy Birthday on request,

(35:25):
followed by an impromptu Amazing Grace to a cheering crowd,
many using their phones to record the moment. So that
is one of the great things about this. First of all,
Number one, I've never met somebody who did not like
ac DC, Like, don't I don't think I've ever like,
even elderly people like ac DC because it's just rock

(35:45):
and roll. I mean, it's just it's like, that's what
you want. So we salute you for those about to rock.
Oh they already rocked, so we do salute you though.
I look, it's it's awesome. I love this. This is
what makes humans human. You know what I'm saying. That's
what I'm saying, Missy. Welcome to the program. What's on

(36:08):
your mind? Missy?

Speaker 9 (36:10):
Hello Brett?

Speaker 5 (36:10):
How were you today?

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I am well, thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (36:14):
I wanted to call and reply to Shawn's impassioned debate
on why we should be angry at Trump for going
to the Supreme Court. Sure snap benefits what?

Speaker 9 (36:24):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (36:24):
So you know everybody knows that the reason we got
here is because we needed a funding for the government.
So the clean cr is presented and the Democrats have
signed it thirteen times. Republicans have signed at thirteen times,
just sign it. So Democrats wanted to add one point
five trillion dollars of additional funding to that.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
So that's where we stopped.

Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yep, so fifteen votes on the subject. Democrats vote know
every time. So the reason people didn't have snap benefits
is because the Democrats voted fifteen times to close the government.
That's right, So people are out of Snap benefits. It's
becoming a prom They want Trump to go to the
Supreme They want Trump to just take the.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Money out four billions right out.

Speaker 8 (37:05):
Of the emergency funds to fund that Benefit's foot. I
thought the whole point of this left revolt is they
don't want a king, but what they're asking him.

Speaker 9 (37:16):
To do is to be a king.

Speaker 8 (37:17):
Yes, Yes, to bypass Congress because that violates the separation
of powers because only Congress can appropriate money.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yes, you are right, wanting to be a king.

Speaker 8 (37:30):
Or they don't want him to be a king. Well pick.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
They wanted him to violate his own little plan and
see if he would do it. And he didn't do it.
He said, he said no, we're gonna you said no
that I'm taking you at no. I mean really, it's
it's that simple, it's not that hard. And you're a
spot on. You are spot on with this.

Speaker 8 (37:48):
I love it for the people, the people that you know.
Just look at the optics and don't understand the undercurrent.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
It looks bad, it does, it looks to make it worse.

Speaker 8 (37:59):
By by about it.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
You are, you are one hundred percent right in fact,
So I want you to stick stick around listening. If
you're still in the car. I've got some sound. I've
got some sound that you've got here. Chip Roy. Chip
Roy is unbelievable with the way he blows up all
of this nonsense. And I've also got an important piece

(38:22):
of information that I'm going to play for you as well,
Brook Rollins, the United States Secretary of Agriculture, very important stuff.

Speaker 8 (38:30):
People are dead.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Oh my god, it is crazy. It is crazy out there. Thanks,
thanks Missy for being there. I appreciate you.

Speaker 8 (38:38):
Thanks, and I want to make one last comment real quickly.
When they find out why Trump is in theo Epstein
files as an FBI, as an FBI informant to turn
in Epstein, the heads.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
You're going to explode.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's exactly right. Good stuff, God blessed. Thanks so much.
I appreciate you being out there. Missy Hey give me
cut number twenty four, Brooke Rollins, Brook Rollins, did you
guys know that there's a bunch of fraud in the system.
Did anybody know about this? I don't know anybody know
about this? Cut number twenty four. Let her rip go.

Speaker 10 (39:06):
Half a million people getting benefits two times under the
same name, five thousand dead people, eighty percent of the
able bodied Americans, meaning they can work, they don't have
small children at home, they're not taking care of an
elderly parent.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
They can work, and.

Speaker 10 (39:21):
They choose not to work, of course, because they're getting
significant benefits from the taxpayer. So this light that has
now been shined on what is perhaps one of the
most corrupt, dysfunctional programs in American history, that we are
working now, very big announcements coming next week on this.
We are cracking down. We now have a plan to
fix it. And we're really really excited about doing that

(39:44):
for the American people.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Coming up, wait till you hear Chip Roy, big stuff.
Hey Charlotte, nothing says joy like a kid getting a
new bike for Christmas. And it's time for Hancocks Bikes

(40:06):
for Kids. Please consider bringing a new bike to WBT
on Friday, December fifth from five to nine pm. The
WB team will be there to thank you for your
generous donation. It's the thirty second annual WBT Hancock's Bikes
for Kids, benefiting kids first of the Carolinas, presented by

(40:31):
Garage Door Doctor Friday December fifth from five to nine pm.
Visit WBT dot com for detail. And it's going to
be so much fun. It's and you're doing a good thing,
which is really great. All right, chip Roy. By the way,
coming up five thirty four to thirty five, we are

(40:51):
going to be joined by the the one of my
favorite people, and that's Michael Wattley. We're going to talk
about all the stuff that's been going on in DC.
But let me let me go to this, Chip Roy.
This is a great breakdown for the failure of Obamacare
and why the imperative has got to be a better system.

(41:14):
This is cutting number twenty five letter rip insurance companies.

Speaker 11 (41:19):
Argentina Insurance Companies one thousand and thirty two percent. Stock
price is up since twenty ten four hundred and forty
eight percent, up from twenty thirteen. Eighty five percent of
the revenues for insurers come from the federal government. Well,
my Democratic College, you're proposing is an insurance company enrichment scheme.

(41:42):
It's literally what they're doing is printing money in the
treasury and giving it to insurance companies. That's their solution
for healthcare, enriching insurance companies. That are the very people
that are telling the American people which care they can
get a knock deet. There's no chance for an American
to go to the doctor of his or her choice.

(42:03):
There's no chance for them to go get care. There
was no chance for my constituent who lives near Fredericksburg, Texas,
to go to M d Anderson to get care because
she's on Obamacare, which can't go to M d Anderson.
And if the cancer that I had when I went
to M d Anderson came back and I'm on Obamacare,

(42:23):
as a member of Congress, I couldn't go to Obama.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
I couldn't go to M.

Speaker 11 (42:27):
D Anderson because of this situation that my Democratic colleagues
had put the American people in, going around in creating
that you're somehow caring for people more by giving them
coverage for care that doesn't actually provide them care, while
insurance companies get rich thirty five billion dollars in subsidies

(42:49):
in twenty to twenty four for people who didn't even
use their plan. It's absolutely unconscionable.

Speaker 8 (42:58):
That is right.

Speaker 11 (42:59):
That is the correct. It is unconscionable what we have
done to the healthcare system, destroying it for the American
people so that they can't get the care of their choice.
That's what's happened. And now you hold the government hostage
for forty five days and then try to come lecture
Republicans about it when you've been holding the American people

(43:21):
hostage to a broken healthcare system for fifteen years. That's
what's been going on. The fact is, Madam Chairman or chairwoman,
we are here today trying to proceed with I think
reason with three appropriations bills combined with the Continuing Resolution

(43:44):
through January. After having tried with reason to fund the
government through November twentieth, so that we can continue the
debate on the various issues in question. But our Democrat
colleagues refused to do it, and so now we've got

(44:04):
the opportunity in front of us to extend fund government
at current levels roughly flat, trying to stave off the
inflation that is the direct consequence of the massive amount
of government funding that has been going on by both
sides of the aisle, but heavily being promoted from my

(44:25):
colleagues here on this on the other side of the aisle,
who want us to throw another trillion and a half
dollars at it. That's literally what they were saying. It's
not a solution, that's just printing more money while trying
to go run campaign ads while you shut the government
down for very clearly and obviously political purposes.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
So Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House of Representatives,
he came back with this response, cut number twenty six.

Speaker 12 (44:57):
Ways, mister Speaker, that this fight we'll end either Republicans
finally decide to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits
this year, or the American people will throw Republicans out
of their jobs next year and in the speakership of
Donald J. Trump, once and for all, that's how this

(45:20):
fight ends. As a speaker during this painful Trump Republican
shut down, what we've seen is two different philosophies in
terms of how to govern for the American people. The
Democratic Party philosophy is clear. We are ready willing and

(45:47):
able to find bipartisan common ground anytime, any place to
enact spending agreements that actually make life better for the
American people. But in order to do that, we need
to have partners on the other side of the aisle
who are actually willing to find a bipartisan path forward. Well,

(46:11):
what we've seen from Republicans from the very beginning of
this presidency is a my way or the highway approach.
That's been the Republican philosophy. Jam your extremism down the
throat of the American people. That's what we've seen from
day one of this presidency. That's the reason why the
government has been shut down by Republicans in Donald Trump

(46:34):
for the longest period of time in American history. What
have we seen from Donald Trump and Republicans during this
shutdown a consistent unwillingness to actually find common ground in
order to make life better for the American people. Donald Trump,

(46:54):
during this shutdown found the time to play golf week
after week after week. Donald Trump found the time to
pardon cereal fraudsters like Joored Santos and Rudolph Giuliani.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Okay, so what Hakeem Jeffries is saying is this, give
me all those trillions of dollars or the American people
get it. News Talk eleven ten, not nine three WBT.

(47:33):
It's the Brettwinable Show. And I'm happy to welcome to
the program somebody who I always like talking to, and
that is, of course Michael Wattley, who is a candidate
for the Senate seat coming up in this next cycle.
And it's great to have you here, Chairman Wattlee, how
are you, my friend.

Speaker 13 (47:53):
We're doing good. We're doing good, and you know, really
glad to see that we're finally moving forward. Were from
the shutdown and ready to get back to the people's
business up in Washington.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
What is the what is this craziness that's going on
there in Washington, DC? Chuck Schumer, he stretched this thing
out fifteen billion dollars every week, ninety billion dollars in total,
in total, you know, depression stuff like this. I mean,
I don't understand why this guy would do this other

(48:26):
than he just wants to be, you know, a troublemaker.
Can you break this down for us?

Speaker 13 (48:32):
Yeah, it really came down to Chuck Schumer worried about
a primary in New York and he put his own
political interest over and above the American people. And he
truly was afraid of a primary from AOC and he
didn't want his base to see him as weak and capitulating,
so he engineered this shutdown just so that he could

(48:54):
be seen fighting. The Democrats achieved absolutely nothing with a
shutdown whatsoever. They didn't get any promises that they didn't
have weeks ago. They didn't get any legislation, they didn't
get any deals out of it. And it's understandable that
the Democrats in the House are really really upset because
this is their shutdown that they didn't you know, want

(49:18):
to end. They wanted to keep the government shut down.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
And my gosh, I mean you look at this, This
is going to be backing up into into Thanksgiving time
and stuff like that. I mean, this has been an
absolute disaster of the time here.

Speaker 13 (49:34):
Yeah, it really has. And when you think about it.
You know, the people that have been affected are families
who are supposed to get snapped benefits, the families with
kids who need you know, assistance in terms of school
lunches and meals. You know, when you think about the
soldiers and the border patrol agents and the FBI agents

(49:56):
and the folks that are protecting our communities are the
ones who are not getting paid. It didn't affect Chuck Schimmer, Yep,
he was getting paid the whole time.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
One of the things that's very interesting is to see
how radical left the Democratic Party is becoming. We saw Mandami,
We've seen a number of people who were you know,
up for for the offices there in Virginia. In New Jersey,
we've got a communist and actual communist out in Seattle

(50:29):
who won, who won a seat. Is this what they've
got to offer up to the American people, the rock
ribbed Americans who who get up and do everything right
working in their in their businesses. I mean, what does
this look like there? This It's unbelievable.

Speaker 13 (50:45):
You're you're absolutely right right, And I think that the
Democratic Party learned absolutely nothing coming out of the twenty
twenty four election site where They campaigned on an open borders,
inflationary spending, woke week America agenda, and they lost across
the board. They lost the House, they lost to the Senate,
they lost, you know, the presidency, and they are doubling

(51:07):
down on that same foiled agenda right now. And when
you think about the leadership of the Democratic Party, and
you talk about Zorin Mom Donne, you talk about Jasmine Crockett, AOC,
Bernie Sanders, and I've put Roy Cooper right in the
middle of it. He is a card carrion member of
the woke mob. And right now their only unifying agenda

(51:27):
item is opposition to Trump. If President Trump supports it,
they oppose it. If President Trump opposes something, they support it.
And that drives one hundred percent of you know, the
issue set for today's Democrats.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
So I want to I want to play for you
a clip. This is from AOC. I know I'm sorry
to have to let you hear some AOC, but but
listen to this. This sales pitch she's trying to push.
This is from last night at the at the termination
of the of the shutdown, cut numbers thirty three.

Speaker 14 (52:03):
I fully welcome Trump voters into our coalition. And I
know that sounds crazy to some people, but just hear
me out. I cannot tell you it just happened to
me like two weeks ago. I can't tell you how
many times someone has pulled me aside and said, either

(52:27):
I was once a big Trump voter and a Trump supporter,
and I watched Fox News every day. But then I
started to kind of expand my world and where I
got information, and now I've learned, and now I've changed
and I'm with you and I learned from you, or
people who meet me who are really big Republicans now

(52:52):
and they are shocked when they meet me because they're like,
you are nothing like I.

Speaker 15 (52:56):
Was told you are.

Speaker 14 (52:59):
And you start to see the bugs turning that maybe
everything that they had been told from this one channel
or this one ecosystem isn't the whole truth, and it
is enough to spark a curiosity that makes people want

(53:21):
to go down a longer journey.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Of I mean, what about that there, mister chairman.

Speaker 13 (53:29):
Well, it's pretty remarkable because you think about the leadership
role that AOC really wants to have within the Democratic Party,
and you think about all the leaders that they have
right now on every eighty twenty issue that we have
in this country, whether it's you know, criminal illegal aliens
being kept in the United States, whether it's having a
soft on crime policy in cities like Charlotte, in states

(53:51):
like North Carolina because of Roy Cooper, when we talk about,
you know, the keeping the border open, when we talk about,
you know, every single policy that the Democrats are running on,
they're on the wrong side of an eighty twenty issue.
So the American people are clearly not with the base
of the Democratic Party. In fact, we're seeing every single

(54:13):
poll has Democratic Party approval rating somewhere between twenty and
twenty five percent. So you know, they're clearly marching their
party off of a cliff right now. They haven't learned
a thing from twenty twenty four and they're doubling down
on that same failed agenda.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
And look, the reality about this also is, you know
we have Miss Malan, you know, malfeasance that took place
after Helene, where you saw people who were told not
to put up the signs. You know, you don't put
up your don't put up your Trump sign, don't put
up your Trump banner and things like that, and people
tried to laugh that off and tried to say, no,

(54:50):
that's not really true. That was absolutely one hundred percent true.
The other side wants to weaponize government against the people,
and it's it's shocking.

Speaker 13 (55:01):
Well, that absolutely is. And the weaponization of the Department
of Justice and frankly all of the levers of government
against Donald Trump and his allies is a very dark
chapter in the history of this country, something we have
never seen before. And you know, I think, thank goodness,
Pam Bondi right now Cash Betel are investigating, you know,

(55:24):
the breakdowns that we had in our judicial system, and
they're asking these questions, they're issuing subpoenas right now. I
think it's very, very important that we get answers and
accountability for the weaponization of the judicial system against President
Trump and his allies.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Visiting with Michael Watley, Okay, I have a final question
for you if I could just ask it really quick
and I'll get your thoughts on this. Look, we've seen
serious progress taking place. Obviously, we've seen the ability to
try to stop that war in Israel. We've seen efforts
made in Ukraine, and we have incredible deals getting cut

(56:02):
with China and other countries around the world. This is
an important time to be a leader. Can you talk
a little bit about the importance of that picture as well.

Speaker 13 (56:15):
Yeah, this is the most transformative term any president has
had in our lifetime. When you look at what's happening
around the world, you look at what's happening at the border,
you look at President Trump and the actions he's taken
to break liberal orthodoxy democratic orthodoxy for the last forty years.
He needs to have a Republican Congress and a Republican

(56:37):
Senate to work with him on this agenda. The North
Carolina Senate seat is going to be absolutely critical. Donald
Trump needs an ally in the Senate. I'm going to
be that ally. North Carolina needs to have a conservative
voice in the Senate, and I'm going to be there
fighting for North Carolina first every single day.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Where do people go to catch up with you, learn
more about it and all that sort of stuff. Michael
Wadley dot com or they can follow me on x
at at Wattley MC. Great stuff. I appreciate you spending
time with us and safe travels, my friend. Good to
have you here. Thanks so much. News Talk eleven ten

(57:22):
nine three WBT. Let's jump out and talk to Mark
next Mark, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 6 (57:28):
Hey Brett, how are you doing.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
I'm doing well. Thanks.

Speaker 5 (57:31):
Yeah, I just wanted to make a comment on that
clip you played with AOC and just make a comparison.
Whenever her and Kamala Harris just speak, it's just empty.
They're just they're just speaking. There's no there's no substance
to anything that they are saying. For example, when AOC
was like, oh, I have Republicans come up to me
and say all the time, Oh, I've never looked at

(57:52):
like how you're saying it that way? Like she doesn't
talk about what it is she is saying.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 5 (57:58):
And a lot of it is just a motion too.
If they do say anything, it's all emotion, you know.
I just I just want to get your take.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
On Oh, I think you're I think you're right. Look,
I think I think you're absolutely right on and I
think it's a different way of communicating that we you
and I expect you know, like results, right, Like Okay,
I'm going to do this, this and this, and you
go okay, that sounds like it's going to make sense.
This is like looking for a way to get off

(58:26):
the system here or something and I want to play
yes it is, and so I want to let you
hear this. Okay, there is a I mentioned this to
Chairman Whatley. There's a communist Seattle mayor. She got elected. Okay,
get a load of this because I think there they
are testing us with a number of different ideas that

(58:47):
they're going to try to pull on us. So this
is cut number thirty two. Get a load of what
this Seattle mayor has to say.

Speaker 7 (58:55):
Go, access to affordable, healthy food is a basic right.
We cannot allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over
our communities, closed stores that will and leave behind food deserts. Together,
we can build the Seattle where fresh food is for everyone,
not just for those who can afford it.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Food Doeserts are not natural.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
Corporations create them when they have band in our communities.
As a mayor, I'm excited to step up and with
UFCW explore public option grocery stores to fill those gaps
we access.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
So she wants, what she wants is to stop supermarkets
from being allowed to shut their stores. Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
I mean that's insane.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
Like how are you how are you even if Okay,
like even if you were going to do that, and
she said she wants to allow all these other options.
How what are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Right? I mean, this is like it feels like we're
talking to crazy people. And I don't mean that like
in a pejorative way, but like it's people who are
just trying to spin you up and you don't know
what it is. But you know, yesterday I played the
clas I don't know if you heard it. Yesterday I
played to God, they're going to try to cancel Christmas
and New Year's. They're in New York City, and so.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
Yeah, this is I mean, that's a whole nother thing.
That's a whole nother I don't know it's it's I mean,
that's a whole nother like religious rooted and evil thing,
at least in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
You agree with.

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
You see it happening in the United Kingdom where they're
you know, you have I mean, like I'm on social
media just like everybody else my age, and you see
people out there try trying to preach the gospel and people.

Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Come up and like arrest them.

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
But then you have like the people and hit jobs
who like show up on public campuses out there in
the UK and they're allowed to do what they want
to do. So like, what's up with that?

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Well, that's that's you know what. Some you got to
go back to the notion of what we had during
Animal Animal Farm, and it's some people are more equal
than others.

Speaker 5 (01:00:52):
Yeah, let's talk about coming from a party of equality,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
That's it, man, great stuff. I appreciate call back any mark.

Speaker 13 (01:01:00):
You're great, Yes, sir, thank you, you got it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Absolutely all right. Get me cut number thirty one. This
thirty one cut is great. Cut number thirty one. This
is Brandon Gill. Brandon Gill, smart guy and he lays
it on nice and thick cut thirty one. Go.

Speaker 16 (01:01:17):
Thank you, mister speaker. It was great to hear from
the new leader of the Democrat Party, missus Alexandria Casio Cortes.
Unfortunately we didn't also get to hear from their other leader,
mister Zoran Mandani. Mister Speaker, I'm going to be proud
this evening to vote to reopen the federal government.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
How should be an order, mister speaker.

Speaker 16 (01:01:40):
For forty days, the Democrats shut our government down to
pursue unrealistic policy proposals that they know the American people
do not want, mister speaker. The American people do not
want healthcare for illegal aliens. They do not want our
tax dollars funding left wing media outlets, and they do

(01:02:03):
not want to drive up our debt one and a
half trillion dollars as part of a short term continuing resolution.
Mister speaker, the last forty days have been nothing but
pure political nihilism, and I'm glad that this nightmare is
over so that we can get back to work on
behalf of the American people.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT. It's the
Brett Winable Show. It is great to be with you.
Seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten. This is
our number three of the broadcast, and it is always
great to u to hear what you have to say.
So if you are of a mind too, if you
want to be a part of the conversation, or telephone
number seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten, or

(01:02:57):
you can always reach us over at the WBT. He
text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. You know what
I feel like, I've been remiss with the with the
the text with the text line there. We gotta I
gotta get on this thing and try to figure out
what's what with what you know what I'm saying, I mean,
this is this is a lot of stuff that's going on.

(01:03:18):
I heard a lot of a lot of important sort
of deals that we are we are looking at, and
I just, you know, I just kind of sit back
and I say, Okay, what what are we what are
we really going for? What are we really looking at?
How are we doing you know, all this kind of
stuff that that is all happening at the exact same time. Okay,

(01:03:40):
here's what has to happen. We have to get back
to regular order. And unfortunately, the regular order is not
really what you think it is. I mean, I I
just I'm sitting back here and I'm saying to myself, Okay,
let's take a look. Let's take a look at what

(01:04:00):
is kind of front and center corruption. Right, you have
corruption in the United States House, in the United States Senate.
Oh oh, Brett, you're going to get in trouble for this. No,
don't worry. I am going to talk about by the way,
I am going to talk about the folks who are

(01:04:23):
going to be coming into Charlotte because of the illegal
alien issue. We're going to talk about that, but let
me give you cut number twenty eight. Tim Burchett. I
like Tim Burchett a lot. He's a congressman out of Tennessee,
and Tim Burchett, he's calling something out that I think
is fantastic insider trading information that people pick up in

(01:04:48):
the House and Senate Cut number twenty eight.

Speaker 17 (01:04:51):
Please, sir, you know it's kind of funny when you
deal with this stuff. You and I talked to ethics
people the other day. Everybody knows I make these crazy
skateboards and people asking, hey, sell me a skateboard. So
I said, well, let me go check it out with ethics.
I'd literally got to get attorneys involved to sell a
dad gum skateboard. But if I want to do insider

(01:05:14):
stock trading, just get elected to Congress. Really, I mean,
let's just be honest. Look, everybody I'll do like I do,
get their twelve thousand dollars portfolio in a mutual fund.
Look my buddy Tommy Siler handle it. He does pretty well.
Although my daughter's going to school now, so I'll be

(01:05:34):
cashing that out very soon. But look, we're public service.
We're Steward's the community. Nobody's above the law. You hear that.
It's kind of become cliche up here, But for years,
members of Congress, we know they've gotten rich using hard
work in American taxpayers money. We members sit on committees,

(01:05:56):
we attend private meetings where we gain privileged information about companies.
Congress appropriates money to economic sectors that may overlap with members'
own portfolios. I call it the war pencil a lot.
I worry about us voting on wars that we're going
to send our kids off too, And we couldn't even
find on a dad gum globe and members having owned

(01:06:19):
stock in those things. The American taxpayer always gets the
short end of the stick, and Congress seems to profit
at their expense. This body has been enriching itself on
the taxpayer's dime, and dad Gumm, it's got to stop.
President's already said he would sign a bill batting stock
trading for members of Congress that passed. I think the

(01:06:40):
real test is going to be whether Congress has the
guts to stand up and do what's right. And I'm
proud of all these people up here. I don't agree
with them. Some of these people on anything. If they
told me, if Cortest told me the sun was coming
up tomorrow, I'd probably I'd go out and I'd go
out and check it out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
All Right, when's the last time you saw people break
from the orthodoxy and decide that they're going to get
on board with a good idea. Well, you kind of
saw that with the break with all of these folks
who were gathering together, these these democrats who were in

(01:07:18):
the Senate, who were saying, listen, we're going to break
this thing wide open, and we want to get back
to the regular order kind of stuff like that. But
here's the problem. The problem is you have people who
are able to game the system. I talked about this
earlier in the show about what's going on with Swawell.

(01:07:38):
He's under investigation now because he apparently listed his residence
in the in the district as his primary residence. But
you're supposed to not do that. You're supposed to have
your residence in the district you are representing, which happens

(01:08:00):
to be California. And so these folks think that they
get to make the decisions for our well being, for
our belief systems, for all those sorts of things. But
they don't have to They don't have to do anything
to follow the rules. And that's not right. Adam Schiff
has been jacked up about this. You know, Latitia James

(01:08:23):
has been jacked up with this sort of stuff. Now
you've got obviously Swallwell, and Swalwell is now making noise
about wanting to be the governor of California. Please let this.
I want him to run against Kamala Harris. I think
that would be perfect. I think it would be perfect.

(01:08:45):
It wouldn't be great for the people of California, but
it would be perfect to do that. Just go do that.
Just go out there and do that and say you're persecuted,
you're all that kind of stuff. They don't have an idea,
an iota of what it means to be persecuted. You
want to know who was persecuted. People who just wanted

(01:09:08):
to go out and pray on the streets when it
came to the pro life agenda. You know who else
wanted to be left alone. You know who else wanted
to be free to do these sorts of things. People
who wanted to go to church in California during COVID.

(01:09:30):
I mean, you could have all the bars open. You
could have Gavin Newsom partying and swinging from the lampshades.
I mean, what are we doing here? This is a problem.
There is a two stage system that we have to
live by. If you, if you want to exercise your freedom,

(01:09:50):
your liberty, your right to keep in beare arms all
of that, you're the outlander. Everybody else who wants to
just go ahead and comply and comply with the orthodoxy
that comes from the book of the Democratic Party. Those folks,
those folks, you win every single day. Until you run

(01:10:15):
into a person who says no, like Tim Burchett, or
somebody says no like Brandon gill or somebody who says
no like Donald Trump, then it's a problem. We need
more people to make a problem. News Talk eleven ten

(01:10:42):
nine nine three WBT, It's the Brettwaterbuws Show. It's good
to be with you. Seven oh four five seven zero
eleven ten. Okay, in case you didn't hear this, John
Fetterman fell down. He had a ventricular fibrillation that caused
him to fall down. And it was not a you know,
I guess he's feeling better, but you know, in these

(01:11:05):
kinds of things that goes on here. I mean, it's
it's a pretty it's a pretty tough tough thing, especially
when you've got people who are crossing the aisle. Right
that this is one of the things that people don't
necessarily talk about a lot. But there are people who
are willing to be reasonable, Like everything isn't necessarily you know,
fist fights and and and all that sort of stuff.

(01:11:27):
And that's the problem because everybody wants to have a fight, right,
everybody wants to They don't want to have an answer.
They want to have a fight. And there's a there's
a storyline that I saw earlier today. It's it's something
that that was a very long form sort of bit
of information. One of the places that we have to

(01:11:51):
pay close attention to is, uh, what's going on in
our own country. And in our our own country, we
are dealing with things like chicoms. You got the the
chi cooms are coming into the United States and they're
buying up property that that has been known for a while. Right,

(01:12:14):
You've seen the governor of Arkansas, uh trying to take
land off of you know, off of out of bounds
and things like that. But unfortunately, we've gotten to this
place where we have strategic Air Command stuff that is

(01:12:35):
adjacent to Chinese owned properties where you would be worried
if you were trying to go out and put a
flight up and you'd be flying right over their property.
Right over there, their their stuff. And this is something
that's going on in a lot of different places. When

(01:12:58):
you think about the chis influence, okay, and you think
about what they may have in mind, it's a pretty
scary story because they're buying property, not so much to
develop and raise, raise food or anything like that. What

(01:13:21):
they're doing is now they're purposely putting themselves in a
position where the American military are going to have a problem.
This is a story about a Chinese owned trailer park
located adjacent to Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, all right.

(01:13:47):
The property specifically is called the Knob Noster Trailer Park
Knob k and Ob Noster and ost Er Trailer It
shares a fence with Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri,
which is the home of the B two Spirit stealth

(01:14:10):
bomber fleet. So when those jets go up to fly,
they're flying at a position that they are right cheek
by jowl with the Chinese owned property. The owners of
the trailer park are reportedly a couple from Richmond, British Columbia,

(01:14:35):
who are linked to a network of shell companies and
a high profile Chinese diaspora repression case in China. They
are allegedly connected to a convicted fraudster with ties to
Chinese intelligence. What are the national security implications? Oh US

(01:15:01):
lawmakers and security experts have expressed alarm over the proximity
to a strategic military location. Concerns include the potential for
establishing intelligence collection sites, installing tracking technology using infrared and

(01:15:24):
radar scanning, or flying drones over the base of our
B two base to conduct surveillance. Who put this deal together?
What are we doing? So there has been a response.

(01:15:45):
Representative Mark Alford of Missouri has called for action to
address the situation and to close loopholes that allow foreign
adversaries to purchase land near sensitive US military infrastructure. The SCIFIUS,
you guys have heard this, maybe time and time again.

(01:16:07):
The SCIFIUS, which is the Committee on Foreign Investments in
the United States, has been criticized for not previously scrutinizing
the purchase. So what's the broader context? Well, the incident
is part of a broader national discussion regarding Chinese entities
purchasing land near critical US infrastructure, including farmland near military

(01:16:34):
bases and a munitions plant in Oklahoma. How dumb are we?
How dumb are we? What are we doing? I mean,
what would happen? What do you think would happen if

(01:16:56):
you went over to China and you said, I'm gonna
buy this house and in this house, I'm going to
be right adjacent to a Chinese air base with very
important stuff, stuff at stake. Crazy, it's unbelievable. News Talk

(01:17:29):
eleven ten, now a nine to three WBT, It's the
Brett Waterbowl Show. Good to be with you, seven oh
four five, seven eleven ten. All Right, I'm going to
do something that I didn't think I would do, but
I'm going to do this. Okay, So, mister, mister producer,
mister producer, I want to play the package that I
was talking about with this situation, okay, and that is

(01:17:53):
a cut thirty. You have cut thirty? Did I give
you a cut thirty? Okay? This is the package that
was run that ran last night about the Chinese influence
and this was uh, what's his name? The guy who
used to be on Fox News. I'm drawn a blank,
but I will get his name. Oh Leland Vitter, Leland Vinter. Okay,

(01:18:15):
this is Leland Vitter interviewing a guy about this and
this is a shock or cut number thirty go.

Speaker 18 (01:18:22):
The Daily Call reports a US nuclear bomber fleet shares
a fence with a trailer park linked to Chinese intelligence.

Speaker 15 (01:18:31):
Here it is.

Speaker 18 (01:18:32):
So it's one thing for a Chinese couple to buy
a trailer park here it is.

Speaker 15 (01:18:35):
This is thanks to Google Image.

Speaker 18 (01:18:37):
It is another thing for them to go to great
lengths to hide who they are, including using multiple shell
companies to conceal their identities. Why is this all important
because they bought a trailer park in the middle of Missouri,
no disrespect to Missouri is at the foot of the
runway where America's largest fleet of B two bombers take off.
So you can see on the map there the B

(01:18:59):
two's are just on the other side of those trees.

Speaker 15 (01:19:00):
So here's the map.

Speaker 18 (01:19:02):
The trailer park is right behind the runway, less than
a mile away. So in the event of war, our
B two bombers would be taking off over Chinese owned land.
It's even more alarming when you factor in that the
shell companies trace back to a convicted fraudster with alleged
ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This is happening in
Republican Congressman Mark Alford's district in the state of Missouri.

Speaker 15 (01:19:26):
As I said, no disrespect to.

Speaker 18 (01:19:27):
Missouri, I don't think you buy a trailer park in
your Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri is an investment
when you're sitting in Beijing going you know, you know, honey,
what could we invest in? Oh, I know, let's find
a trailer park.

Speaker 19 (01:19:40):
And get a lot of double wides, right, I don't
think they're interested in that, Leland. Thanks for having me on. Yeah,
the Whiteman Air Force Base is slap dab in the
middle of our district, home of the B two stealth bombers,
soon to be home of the B twenty one Raider,
which is coming in the not too distant future, and
it's going to exponentially increase the size of that force
there on White and Air Force Base.

Speaker 18 (01:20:02):
And make it all make the Chinese investment all the
more a value things.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
We've got to get them out of it.

Speaker 19 (01:20:07):
Well, all right, So this transaction, according to the research
that I've done on this article happened way back in
twenty seventeen. In twenty twenty four, in January, are then governor.
Governor Parson put on an executive order for all military
bases within the state of Missouri. You cannot be a
citizen or a company in a foreign adversarial nation as

(01:20:29):
so designated by our State Department and own property within
ten miles of a DoDEA Department of Defense base. I
didn't think that was good enough. We need to expand that,
and that's why I found the American Land and Property
Protection Act. Basically, this says, if you are a member
of a foreign adversarial nation, a citizen or a company
of those China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Russia,

(01:20:56):
you cannot own even an outhouse in the United States
of America.

Speaker 15 (01:21:00):
You cannot go to those courts.

Speaker 18 (01:21:01):
But you're not going to do that because you're not
going to be able to take land away from all
the Chinese people.

Speaker 15 (01:21:04):
Who are moving rows.

Speaker 19 (01:21:06):
And here's something else, leland.

Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
There is a.

Speaker 19 (01:21:10):
Department of Treasury has the Committee on Foreign Investments in
the United States of America called SCYTHEUS they are supposed
to be taking a look at this under the Biden administration,
they were not doing their job.

Speaker 18 (01:21:22):
In fact, this happened in the twent and this happened,
this happened in the Trump administration.

Speaker 19 (01:21:25):
The Trup administration and whatever department was running it at
that time did not do their job, and they were
they somehow overlooked. They started to put uh some some
regulations in place where they were going and looking at these.
So let's look at this air Force base on the
list of those.

Speaker 15 (01:21:45):
And why would we have a list?

Speaker 18 (01:21:46):
Why would we have the air force base with one
part of the nuclear triad on the list?

Speaker 15 (01:21:50):
Who knows Chinese by buying land near US military basis?

Speaker 18 (01:21:54):
Okay, so the Chinese have a plan to do this,
right and sometimes they can seal it through multiple shell companies.

Speaker 15 (01:21:59):
Sometimes they just go out and do it.

Speaker 18 (01:22:01):
And these are very strategically picked basis for brag Natal's
Regulair Station, Norfolk right Patterson Witman Air Force Base as well.
I get having new legislation and this, that and the
other thing, but right now you have B two bombers
flying over Chinese own land.

Speaker 15 (01:22:23):
How do you stop that?

Speaker 19 (01:22:24):
Right now, we get SCYTHEUS under the Treasury Department, and
I'm on the Financial Services General Government Appropriation Subcommittee which
oversees that and we get them on the ball.

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
So there you go, Gina, Welcome to the show. What's
on your mind? Gina?

Speaker 9 (01:22:42):
Hi Brett, Hello, this is Yes, this is Gina. I
love your show.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:22:48):
I just have a question. Doesn't see government, through the
process of eminent domain have the right to confiscate property.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
M That's an interesting take. Uh, maybe that's a good question.
I'm going to try to research that because I think
what this guy was saying in the in the very
beginning of this was you can't grab it now because
it's been sold. But I would hope that we would

(01:23:21):
be able to pull that trigger, but maybe maybe we can't.
That's a that's a very frightening reality there, Gina.

Speaker 9 (01:23:28):
But the government has seized other properties to build highways
and so forth, and this being so important camp him,
he looked into something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
I guarantee that after this story ran last night, I'm
sure people are probably trying to figure out how how
we unwind it. But there if you look at the
map that was part of this this story, it's it's
all over the country. It's so freaky to see all
these locations that that are are are set up. I

(01:24:03):
mean they're Montana white men. Uh, it's it's it's every
it's every place. I am going to try to u
to bird dog it and see what we can find
out about it. Uh. Gina and I do appreciate that
that call. Thank you very much.

Speaker 9 (01:24:18):
You're very welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
All right, you got it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Oh, he was, thanks for being out there. Absolutely wow,
very very good. Poll there seven oh four five seven
eleven ten. News Talk eleven ten that nine three wbt

(01:24:42):
Okay archaeologists have revealed a ritual object tied to ancient
Biblical cult in a wild find. This is uh, this
story is fascinating. Ritual artifacts belonging to the Canaan and
ancient people referenced in the Old Testament were recently found

(01:25:06):
in Israel, along with a five thousand year old wine press.
The Israel Antiquities Authority IAA announced the find near Tel
Medigo on November the fifth. I'm sorry, tell Megido. The

(01:25:33):
excavation was carried out alongside the construction of Highway sixty
six in the Jezreel Valley. Tell Megadoh is famously referenced
in the Book of Revelation. The site is referred to
as Armageddon, closely related to the Hebrew phrase Horroro, which

(01:26:01):
translates to Mountain of Megido. In terms of the timeframe,
the findes ranged from Israel's Early Bronze Age around three
thousand BC to the Late Bronze Age about twelve seventy BC.
This standout artifact was the rock carved wine press, which

(01:26:26):
officials described as the oldest ever discovered in Israel. This
wine press is unique one of the very few known
from such an ancient period when urbanization first took place
in the region. Until now, indirect evidence indicated that wine

(01:26:49):
could have been produced five thousand years ago, but we
did not have conclusive proof of this. This wine press
find provides new and clear evidence that early wine production
actually took place at this At this location, archaeologists also

(01:27:11):
found intriguing and fully intact evidence of a Canaanite folk
cult dating back to thirty three hundred years BC, including
a ceramic model of a shrine and animal shaped ritual vessels.

(01:27:32):
The IAA said the vessels were carefully placed in the
ground in an orderly burial as ritual offerings. These included
a miniature ceramic model of a shrine, storage jars, imported jugs,

(01:27:56):
jug lets from pipe, and a unique and impressive set
of vessels, which was probably probably used for libations or
the ceremonial pouring of liquids. The release set like this
stuff is all intact from like five thousand years ago,

(01:28:17):
Like what are the odds? Historians believe it was used
to pour valuable liquids, nick valuable liquids, None of that
cheap stuff. We're no ripple, no ripple. We got the
real stuff here, such as it would be actually, such
as milk, oil or wine into a funnel during ceremonies.

(01:28:45):
Did you ever you ever have a you ever have
a beer funnel when you were back in the day,
every one of those days. I mean now, I don't
think you did. You seem like a straight edge guy
right there. The burial location suggested a full cult operated
outside the city, possibly comprised of local farmers who couldn't

(01:29:07):
enter the main temple. So this is so okay. So
what this is is these are the guys a riff raff.
They wouldn't let him in. They're having themselves a nice
time out there. Libations like that word. That's a very
nice word. Just everybody say it with me. Libations. It
just feels really good. So it allowed them to offer

(01:29:30):
consecrations of liquids or valuable agricultural produce. Some of these
offerings were discovered as intact pottery vessels buried next to
a large rock outcrop which may have served as an
open air altar outside the Canaan Canaanite city of Megiddo.

(01:29:56):
I've said it like seven different ways. I'm sorry about that.
In a statement, officials said that the recent excavation revealed
the new part of the matrix between the known settlements
of the city. They added the five thousand year old

(01:30:17):
hewn wine press the beginnings of the local wine industry
in a very early urban settlement context, while the offerings
from the period about thirty three hundred years ago indicate
the continuity of the ritual consecration from the five thousand
years to the thirty three hundred part, and libations outside

(01:30:41):
the sacred complex within the tell possibly expressing aspects of
the local Canaanite folk cult. I feel bad when people
say like it's a folk cult. I mean it's I
get it, I understand it. But look, this stuff's all intact.

(01:31:03):
I mean this this thing is pretty cool. It's basically
like a whole set, like you could be doing a
great thing there. All right, that's gonna do it for me.
Guess who's coming up next. Guess who's coming up next?
Breaking with Brett Jensen, and then of course you're gonna
have TJ coming up after that. Thanks to UH, to
Nick and to Traverse, and of course, ladies and gentlemen,

(01:31:26):
to Anna and Pam. I am Brett Witterable. I have
