ICE Assaults, Low Jobs and More on The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Brett kicks off the program by talking with Pete Kaliner about a lack of open jobs, despite a "roaring" economy. Next, Brett shares a clip from "Morning Joe", in which the host downplays Donald Trump's success in executing deportations at the Southern Border compared to the deportations that Joe Biden and Barack Obama had during their Presidencies. Pete hypothesizes that the host got lost in the logic of the point that he was trying to bring to the table. This leads Brett and Pete to discuss whether this clip contributes to the argument about the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to deportations.

In the first hour, Brett is joined by Paul Perez, President of The National Border Patrol Council. In his conversation with Brett, Perez discusses the state of the Southern Border under President Trump. Brett also shares a local story about 71 guns that were stolen during a move from Bessemer City to Fairbanks, Alaska.

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

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:16):
News Talk eleven ten nine three WBT. It is the
hang over, and I am forcing Pete Calender, one of
my favorite people in this room, to uh to uh
stick around with us. It's good to be with you,
my friend, and uh good to be with It's I'm
glad that you're with and we are with and we're Yes,
that's good. Uh So let me, uh let me take

(00:38):
you to a place that I didn't think was really
going to happen.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
But this is this one of your tours.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
No, you're not taking me out, not an actual tour.
We're just going to take a little tour. The economy
is roaring. Everybody sees this. But we only got seventy
three thousand jobs in this last report, seventy three thousand jobs.
We have a lot of people in this country. We
have fewer now though we do.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
And I think that the native born workforce numbers, yes,
drove that versus the immigrant or foreign born data set.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
This is great. I'm glad you did this, Pete, because
you set me up perfectly to have you react to something. Okay,
and it's going to be have you got my sound
in there, Okay, give me, give me, give me, give
me Gimme, Gimme Cut thirteen, one of your favorite programs,
Morning Joe Go.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
For a long time, his strongest political card or strongest
political issue have deteriorated considerably, and I think they're going
to keep getting worse if.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
They keep going down this path.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
So John Lemuir talking about how the White House is
balancing this. You have, in one instance, a southern border
which Donald Trump promised he would secure. You wouldn't have
the number of migrants crossing every day that you had
during the Biden administration. That certainly is the case. I mean,

(02:05):
the southern border is as secure as it's been in
sixty years. On the other side of that, Joe Biden
was able to deport a larger number of people who
came here illegally because there were so many more near
the southern border. Now that's not the case. So you

(02:26):
have the Trump administration on one hand wanting to be
able to celebrate basically for the most part, quiet southern border,
but to keep up with the numbers of Biden, to
keep up with the numbers of Obama, they're having to
go into neighborhoods, They're having to do things that they

(02:47):
know are not politically positive for them, and also or
just are brutish and turn off a lot of voters,
are they?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because I, I just got it. I didn't even know.
Is he like circling a point, trying to kill it?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Like I don't understand that guy is a broadcaster, he's
been on the TV for how long years?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
A sentence? It's insane. But but the Trump administration is brutal.
They are more brutal. Is more brutal. Brutality, kids in cages,
not brutal, not brutal. That was not brutal?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Why and Obama did it?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
When Obama did it, and and Joe Biden and and uh,
of course we had AOC crying and your outfit and
all that clothing.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
So also like I'm perplexed at the point that he, yes,
again maybe was circling to kill I couldn't tell, but
I I almost got the sense that he couldn't figure
out the logic of the point he was trying to
make in real tea, I lost, right, because the reason why,
like the reason why, right, the deportation numbers are lower

(03:59):
is because you're not nabbing a billion people a day
at the southern border, correct and sending you know, two
million of them home.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Correct, like when the Haitians were getting.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Whipped right, that's right with the guy on the horse right,
which it wasn't, which it wasn't fake news again And yeah,
so like if you're if you've got fewer people that
you're interacting with at the border, then of course that
number is going to be zero because you're not deborting
anybody that gets across the border.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, you're stopping them. So you're really good at detecting
the double speak and the craziness and things. Is this
an argument for quality versus quantity of deporting?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
It does sound very similar.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It feels a little like a like a eugenicist kind
of kind of Racisty are we getting? We're getting this group,
but not these people. Those people don't count as much.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
As they're not sending their best.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Very weird, very weird take.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I'm also curious on this idea that he's in
order to keep up with Biden and Obama's numbers. Like, granted,
I've not seen every single utterance of Donald Trump on
this issue. True, However, I have never heard him ever
talk about I need to have more deportations than Biden.

(05:23):
He doesn't say that he says, yes, all the criminal
aliens got to get out. We're gonna we're gonna lock
down the border, and we're going to deport all of
the criminal aliens. He has never even talked about like
mass deportation of you know, non criminal aliens. He's he
has talked about, yeah, they all got to go home
in this, but he's never laid out this mass deportation plan.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's Stephen Miller's thing.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's sort of yes, yeah, I mean Stephen Miller's he's driving.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
That, that's his portfolio. Yes, no doubt about it. Is
it possible that Joe Biden used an autopen to deport people?
I don't know now.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Supposedly I was saw this today that one of his
people said, I guess they tested this. They were testifying
today and under oath or something, yes yesterday, and they
said that, oh no, no, he signed off on every
pardon and every bill. He signed off on all that. Well,
but that doesn't make any sense. It doesn't because signing

(06:20):
off is literally signing.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Your name and putting it in a machine.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Right, So if he were signing off on everything, you
would not need an auto pen in the first place.
That's exactly handed him the pen and he'll literally sign off.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Even give him a stamper, a big stand, like could
do a stamper on that.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Can you imagine the look on Joe's face when they
hand him that stamper and he just would light up?
I mean it would be so much fun for him
that blank stare off into the distance and he'd just
be like, is mouth gaping open?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know, Go ahead, mister president, you're vetoing all of this.
Go ahead, Yes, yeah, this is right.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Chocolate chocolate chip.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Speaking of which, cut number seventeen, all your audience, I
got a ton of it. Cut number seventeen. We play it.
You say it as Rushwood, say go.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
My friends. You need to face the heart truth of
this administration and has been to ease all the gage
we've made in my administration to race history, rather than
make it to.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Race fairness, getting shouty quality to race chess itself. And
that's not hyperble, that's a fact.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh never, God, love you, what am I talking about?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
So it's never hyperbole with Joe Biden. It's always a fact.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I'm under saying, that's high, that's deadly.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Earnest Jack, look fat, The look so two things I
got off of that. Number One, he was getting shouty,
which that that is sort of in that age demographic.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
But the do you notice the hiss Yes.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
And I always point this out all these interviews that
he does. There's a and there's a term for it.
I forget what it's called. But he speaks so softly
that you have to the engineers have to turn the
mic volumes right all the way.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
To the top.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
And that's why you get that static sound. That's room noise,
that's airflow. Yes, Like he's sitting in a room with
so he's got a little lava leer mic right up
next to his voice box, and you still.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Hear that s yeah, right, room noise exactly right.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
And that's why it's because his voice is that weak
and he's and that's him at a microphone at a
podium in a hall designed for this very kind of
a thing.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, but he got a better quality of deportations. That's right.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
He deported the right people.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
The right We got the right people to deport. Trump's
getting all the wrong people to deport and that that's
just not gonna.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's the difference.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I thought.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
He also said that he was he was getting rid
of gaze.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Is that what he said? I don't know. Can you
rerack the rerack the old man there?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
And my friends, you need to face the heart truths
of this administration and has been to.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Ease all the gains we've made. Oh game gains, sorry
which they eat his game. They should have put the
game of the game audio. They get fake news. Uh,
Pete Calendar, It's always a pleasure to spend time with you,
my friend, and I appreciate you being in here with us.
I gotta make make an attempt to try to figure

(09:28):
out exactly the quality of the deportes. So deportees deportees,
that's my new term.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Pete Calenar enjoyed the weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
You two, buddy.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT It's the
Brett Winterble Show. Get to be with you seven four
five seven zero eleven ten. Thanks so much for for
Pete coming by and hanging out with him as well.
It is uh, it is interesting to see all all this. Wow,
we got a whole bunch of commentary coming in on
the on the transom here. We'll go through some of
that as we as as we begin to move, including

(10:09):
one person who says ICE agents assaults are up eight
hundred percent. Is that disrespect for the law or a
general breakdown in society created by Trump and the media
condemnation of anything that remembers that that resembles common ground?
Signed D. Dan. I don't know. I actually I don't
know what the what the answer to that is, if

(10:32):
you're assaulting a a a police officer, you're going to
get in trouble. If you're assaulting a federal officer, you're
going to get into trouble. It's a it's a very difficult,
uh sort of a of affair that that people are
having to deal with. And unfortunately, if you're going to
put hands on a law enforcement officer, you are going

(10:52):
to be standing tall before the man as they say,
so you your your best bet is to not get
physical with a law enforcement officer. And it's hard, you know,
it's hard to do that, right, It's hard to It's
hard to understand that because people felt so comfortable during
the Obama Biden also Biden by himself axis, you know,

(11:17):
you were not you were able to just do whatever
you wanted. You'd go frolicking half naked on the on
the lawn of the White House when when Biden was
there and they were doing all kinds of crazy things.
Wouldn't go to a Palatino Ohio. Wouldn't go to East Palestine, Ohio.
East Palatino, Ohio. Wouldn't go do that. Couldn't do that.
That was too hard a of a of a push.
But you know, we're we are seeing a lot of

(11:39):
disrespect actually, I think in terms of people in law enforcement.
I mean, look, all you had to do was see
Adam pedillah U, a graduate of m I T who
decided he was going to try to bum rush Christine
home and they had to take him out of the room.
That's not that's not how we comport ourselves. Well, you know,

(12:00):
you keep your hands to yourself, and that's that's a problem. Now.
If people are upset about the idea of deportations happening,
well there's a there's a remedy for that. The remedy
for that is to deport people who are not allowed
in the country. Do you have papers? No? Are you
an American?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Did you come in here with a visa? No? Okay,
then you need to go back to your home country
and you need to apply for, you know, getting back
into the United States, trying to get a visa, trying
to get the stuff that's necessary. And by the way,
here's a little tip. If you can't get into the
United States, there are other nations that you certainly can

(12:42):
go to. Canada is lovely, Mexico is lovely. You can
go to Luxembourg. You can go to a lot of
different countries around the world that will take you. Absolutely,
they will take you. I mean, everybody wants to go
to Harvard, everybody wants to go to usc everybody. Nobody
wants to go to this place, that place, the other place.

(13:04):
But you fill up, it's full up. There's no room
in the inn. So you're gonna have to go ahead
and settle maybe for your alternative choices in countries. Kazakistan
very exciting, lots of stuff going on over there. Chevron
has got a massive grouping of energy parcels there, the

(13:28):
Odessa Permian, the Permian Basin. You know what, there is
a very nice University of Texas annex there. You could
go work in the oil patch and then get your
education as well. Everybody wants to go to Harvard, everybody
wants to go to Yale. Everybody wants to go to jail. No,
not everybody wants to go to jail. That's an absolute truth.

(13:50):
But when you think about all this stuff, it is
not our responsibility to do resettlement in front of Americans
who are born here and are looking for a better
opportunity and stuff like that. You have to give the
priority to the American people. And I know that's hard
to believe because people who voted for Obama and Biden,

(14:15):
all right, in whatever iteration you want to do. The
people that voted for Obama and Biden believe firmly that
America is not a great country. They were the president
at the time. Barack Obama said the Greeks think they're exceptional.

(14:36):
He didn't even under this is a law professor. He
didn't know what the notion of exceptionalism was. He just
says the Greeks are exceptional, the Germans are exceptional, the
Italians are exceptional. No, they're all wonderful people. The exceptional
concept is that America was the first country to build

(15:02):
that iteration of a constitutional republic. We were the exception
to all the tyrants in France and Germany and Italy
and England and all that sort of stuff. And the
President of the United States, this brilliant Havardian right, he
was from Harvard, thought that we were talking about exceptional people. No,

(15:24):
everybody's God's creation, God bless you. But the country in
which it was founded here is the exception to the
rule for how things were handled. And unfortunately people don't
read their history. They don't understand the context, but they
do know about gender theory, gender theory, and they do

(15:49):
know about demanding what they deserved because they want it.
The idea of of being a country where folks do
not have to strive to succeed, that is an absolute exception.

(16:14):
Because you're supposed to work hard to get where you go.
You're supposed to put in a full day's work with
the place you need to accomplish the mission that you're
trying to do, and it takes work. Nobody rings your
doorbell and hands you a bag of money and says
you're fantastic because of your theory. No, you have to

(16:38):
convince people to buy that book, and before that, you
have to write that book, and it has to be
an interesting book. See how far back you have to
go to try to get ahead. That's the challenge. Here's

(17:01):
talk eleven ten and nine to nine three WBT Brett
Waterbow shogin to be with you seven oh four five
seven zero eleven ten. Everything is fair game if you
want to pick up the pieces from across the week,
the last week, whatever you want to do, will certainly
abide to spend some time with you on those sorts
of topics. One thing that is h gotta get a
lot more of attention than it is currently happening, and

(17:24):
that is there is a kerfuffle happening between the former
president of Russia and Donald Trump. And this thing went hot,
Like this thing actually went hot. President Trump moves nuclear
submarines after statements by the former Russian president taking shots

(17:47):
at the United States. Oh boy, Trump orders, This is
the New York Times, which means that they are absolutely
in their scream pillows right now. They're screaming in the pillows,
just going oh my god, oh my gosh, oh my gosh,
why why is this going to happen? So the reporting
at a CNBC Trump says he moved two nuclear submarines

(18:10):
after Russia's Medvedev warned the United States. President Donald Trump
said he ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in
the appropriate regions in response to warnings made to the
United States by the Russian official Dmitri Medvedev, that used
to be Vladimir Putin's steady date, but he's not that anymore.

(18:35):
I guess he's gone a little bit nuts. Medvedev on
Monday said that each new ultimate him that Trump makes
towards Russia is pressuring an end to the nation's conflict
with Ukraine, and it's a threat and a step towards war.

(18:57):
So you know what President Biden said to Vladimir Putin
before they invaded, before Russia invaded Ukraine, right, does everybody
remember what he said, Joe Biden. President Biden said, Okay,
if it's just a small incursion, if it's just a
if it's just a small sort of penetration into the

(19:21):
territory of Ukraine, then well that's not going to be
a big deal. We're not going to like go to
war over that. And so what did Vladimir Putin then do? Like,
within months he went and invaded Ukraine. He barged right
in and made sure that they were sending a message, right,
a message to Ukraine. And the message was we're going

(19:42):
to take all of Ukraine well. President Trump on Friday
said that he ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned
in the appropriate regions in response to warnings made by
the United States this week from the high ranking Russian
Dmitri Medvedev. Medvedev and a social media post on Monday,
wrote that each new ultimatum that the President makes about

(20:04):
Russia to force the end to its war with Ukraine
is a threat and a step towards war. This isn't
even Putin. This is Putin's a jockey in this regard,
not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,
Medvedev wrote on x that day. Trump earlier on Monday

(20:27):
had said he was cutting from fifty days to less
than two weeks to get the deadline done for the
Russian piece deal. On Friday, Trump wrote in a social
Truth social post, based on the highly provocative statements of
the former President of Russia, Dmitri Medvedev, who is now

(20:48):
the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation,
I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in
the appropriate regions in case these foolish and inflammatory statements
are more than just that words are very important, and
they can often lead to unintended consequences. I hope this

(21:10):
will not be one of those instances. President Trump said,
thank you for your attention to this matter. Medvedev and
his tweet said Trump is playing the ultimate game with Russia.
Fifty days or ten. He should remember two things. This
is what This is the moment where Medvedev kind of

(21:31):
lifted up his shirt and showed his gun. All right,
not literally, but that's the sort of what this would
be happening if this was in the street. And so
he said, One, Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. Two.
Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.

(21:53):
Medvedev wrote, not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his
own own country. Listen, listen, listen to what he said next.
This is a shockingly embarrassing thing, not between Russia and Ukraine,
but with his own country. Don't go down the sleepy

(22:17):
Joe road. Medvedev said that. Medvedev added that on the line,
do you see how embarrassing we have to This is
how you have to clean this up, because they're using
terminology of slow, sleepy Joe Biden, what do they think

(22:41):
they're gonna get And can you imagine sitting with the
National Security Group and President Trump has to sit there
and has to now go and defend the honor of
the presidency by showing we're not going to back down

(23:03):
off of the Russians. Do you understand now, this is
what is so unbelievably important. When Joe Biden slipped and
said you can just penetrate a little, that led to this,
that's just a sentence, and it went to this. Now,

(23:28):
I don't blame I look, if it's America or Russia,
America all the way, If it's Joe Biden or Medvedev,
it's Joe Biden all the way. Because he's a former
United States president and okay, he was not up to
the job. But you know what, You're not gonna come
into our yard and decide you're gonna start kicking sand

(23:52):
in our faces. That's not going to happen. President Trump,
in a truth social post on Thursday, warned Medvedev about
is rhetoric, while also taking a shot on Russia's trading
partnership with India. India, by the way, just bought themselves,
you know what, They just bought themselves a massive hike

(24:13):
in the tariff because they will not stop buying weapons
from Russia. This is a very interesting entanglement, and it's
maybe a little bit dangerous. Maybe. One of the comments

(24:34):
that was made was, I don't care what India does
with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together
for all I care. Trump wrote, we have done very
little business with India. Their tariffs are too high, among
the highest in the world. This is the thing that

(24:54):
people worry about. But this is also something that's very
very interesting. When you think about what's happening here, you're
seeing somebody standing up for America. As for his remarks
about the dead economies of India and Russia venturing into
dangerous territory, perhaps he should revisit his favorite movies from

(25:15):
the Living Dead and recall just how dangerous the mythical
dead Hand can be, said Medvedev. The dead Hand is
Russia's system for automatically launching nuclear strikes if a nuclear
attack is detected on the country. Have a good day,

(25:41):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT, It's the
Brent Winterbill Show. It's great to be with you. Seven
oh four five seven zero eleven ten I want to
welcome to the program a man whose work I greatly admire,
especially in the position that he is holding. Paul Perez,
the President of the National Border Patrol Council. It is
a pleasure to have you on the program, and thanks

(26:02):
so much for the service that you are providing and
your brothers and sisters in service are providing. Thanks so
much for being here.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
Thank you for having me. Brett. Good to be with you.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, let's talk a little bit about what we've seen
over the course of the last four or five months
and the border security issue. It is a hugely important thing,
and I'm very curious to see your assessment of what
we're seeing here at the National Border Patrol Council. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
So, for the the third month in a row, the
numbers have been at the most lowest that we've ever seen,
historical lows. And that's the direct reflection of President Trump's
vision for securing this border and taking care of Americans
who voted for him to come in and do this.
And so he's put the right people.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
In place that can enact his visions, that can roll
out the changes he needed to take control of the
chaos that Biden left him complete opposite of what he
left Biden back during his first term.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
So we've been doing really really good. There have been
zero releases, we've apprehended everybody's come across the border. It's
been really really good for us.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
What is the challenge for your agents, for your folks
that are that are working in these very dangerous conditions,
What is the is the thing that you all need
the most in terms of finishing this mission.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
So one of the biggest things that we needed most
and that we've gotten from this administration is the support.
The support to allow us to do the job that
we were hired to do, something we weren't able to
do the last four years. And so right now, you know,
it took less than a month to actually secure the
border in a way that it should have been the
last four years. But you know, President Trump support has

(27:53):
allowed us to go out there. We're interdicting, we're deterring.
We've gotten a lot of we've got handed a lot
of narcotics, we've apprehended money and drugs, we've apprehended weapons
going south. It's completely different than what we were doing
before because before they had us sitting behind a computer
processing everybody. So they're going to release them into the country,

(28:16):
and now we're actually out there enforcing the laws that
are on the books allowing us to secure the border
and any good.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, I think it's phenomenal. I mean, it absolutely is.
I grew up on the border, and I understand, you
know what a healthy border functions as I grew up
in El Paso, Texas. So you know, I know what
a healthy border looks like, and I know what an
unhealthy border looks like where people can't really transact and
do the sorts of things that they need to do
on both sides. And so one of the questions I

(28:44):
would have for you, visiting with Paul Perez, the president
of the National Border Patrol Council, would be this. I
know it's not exactly in your mission in this regard,
but when we look at these cities that are transigent
at about cooperation, and I know isis does a whole

(29:05):
lot of work in that regard. How does that then
trickle down to you and and your teams out there
who are trying to keep people safe, no doubt about it,
whether you're a migrant or not a migrant, they want
us to make sure that everybody is safe and no
one's going to get hurt or killed. What kind of
a challenge is that with these with these open border cities.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
Yeah, so so these thanksburious cities as we call them.
You know, it does impact us to a degree because
our border patrol agents are teamed up right now with
I c r O, with the ATF, with the FBI,
DA and we're going after all of these people, millions
of people that were led into the country that should
not be here. Criminal aliens, you know, violent, violent, very

(29:46):
violent people that have committed litany of crimes, everything from
murder to robbery to burglary and everything in between. So
we've been going after them. And the way it impacts
us is you've seen the sanctuary cities that don't allow
the police to work with us. I mean, there's two

(30:06):
Colorado deputies that just got suspended for turning information over
to ICE that led to arrest of people that weren't
supposed to be here illegally. That impacts us because we
want to apprehend these criminals. We want to get these
people while they're in custody, because when they're released onto
the streets, then that makes that puts a lot of
other people in harm's way. Because we may have to

(30:27):
go take them down in a home that you know,
they may run, they may fight, they may hide, they
may do these other things that they wouldn't have access
to do if we took them into custody and a
secure facility. While they have them in custody, and so
that's a big problem for us. It's a nofter safety issue.
You know, the rhetoric from the left, you know, coming

(30:48):
is harming our agentsy you know that's why they're having
the mask up and you know they've gone after us
for masking up. But there's a reason behind it. If
these sanctuary cities would allow us to do the job
that Congress is put on the books, the laws on
the books, there wouldn't be these types of problems happening
in these cities.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Final question for you, how is recruitment? How is morale
in terms of the missions that you're carrying out? Are
you are you seeing an uptick in people being interested
in helping out and pushing for the cause.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
Absolutely, We've got more applicants than we've ever had in
our history. We've got a lot of agents that were
ready to retire that have extended their time because they
want to work for this president. They believe in the mission,
they believe in securing the border, and they know that
Trump is going to allow them to do that. So
under this president, it's a really good time to be
a border patrol agent. Are Morales through the roof? It's

(31:39):
a really really good time for us?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Okay, So I'm going to ask you the big question
of that is, you know, if folks who are listening
here in Charlotte and environs around the country want to
try to put in an application, where do they go
to get more information on what you all are doing
to help keep us safe.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
They can go to USA Job, USA jobs dot gov
or Border Patrol dot com and they'll get more information
they'll be able to apply, And we welcome, you know,
patriotic Americans that are really really ready to do the
job as care in the border.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Listen, We honor you for being on the show and
talking to us, and we really do appreciate the service
that you are protecting the American people and the country itself,
and we wish you nothing but the best. I'd love
to catch up with you again if you're of a
mind too, And it was really good to talk to you, Paul.
Thank you so much time.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Absolutely. That's Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol Council.
And that's a huge important story that we're looking at
here because it is a safety issue. It is a
safety issue. We do not want to see people losing
their lives, whether migrants, whether people in the United States, children,
et cetera. We want to keep our country safe and strong.

(33:09):
He's talk eleven three WBT very very very very weak
jobs report earlier today, and certainly that's going to be
a big topic of discussion as we go into the weekend,
and uh, you know, taking a look at the results, absolutely, Uglee.

(33:29):
We have to see what happens coming forward. Let's jump
out and talk to Derek. Next up, Derek, Welcome to
the program.

Speaker 8 (33:36):
What's on your mind, Hi, Brett, Well, speaking of speaking
of the labor report, Yeah, the numbers were bad, but
President Trump disclosed that that was a deep stater in
the Bureau of Labor Statistics fudging the numbers against him.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, No, I don't think that's the case. Actually, I
think we're gonna have to figure out a better way
to be a compelling caller's that's really what that's what
we have to do. We have to be a compelling caller.
And you know, I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Every once
in a while you get this particular fellow who likes

(34:14):
to try to come in. I know his voice, and
I know in his nervousness, the way he tries to
set up, the way he tries to set up some
sort of some sort of a take. And the way
I know this is because he will not call back.
He will not call. A real caller will call back.
This guy's making the rounds late on a weekend, on

(34:36):
almost a weekend. And yeah, more gold Chalger seven four
or five, seven eleven ten. No, not for him, not
for him. He wasn't a good call. But the thing is,
the jobs report was terrible. I mean it was just
really terrible. And so there's going to be a lot
of blame going in a bunch of different directions. And

(34:59):
you know you're going to get bad labor reports, You're
gonna get bad job reports. That's going to happen over
the course of time. And when you have somebody like
Jerome Powell, who is you know, intransigent, he will not
do the thing that needs to be done by cutting
the rates, that everybody's going to suffer. But again, you

(35:22):
have to remember that a lot of the people in
the United States are are hoping that the economy takes off,
are hoping that you're going to get the ability to
buy a house, all those sorts of things. I want
to give you an actual, real, real number, Okay. And
one of these things, I always love to recommend places

(35:42):
where you can get more information on certain things. And
so there's there's a place called Trading tr a d
i ng Economics. I reference this place a lot. Okay,
So trading Economics tr a d i ng Economics, and
you can look there at any time during the week
and you can see different statistics that come out here. Right,

(36:03):
So you have US manufacturing sector shrinks for fifth month,
ism reports, US ten year yield plunges further. Wall Street
tumbles as labor data disappoints, Gold surges as weak jobs
data fuels the rate cut bets, all that kind of stuff.

(36:24):
So what is very very likely is that we're going
to see a rate cut coming up, probably in September,
maybe September. In October, Jerome Powell has decided that he
does not want to cut the rate of the You
of how it is that that money is going to

(36:46):
go out. So all I wanted to do and this
is I just had to do this, and I did
it earlier today and I'll share it with you as well.
You have a lot of countries, a lot of country
and if you look at a lot of those places
and the big ones, you're going to see something that
that that emerges very very very quickly. The United States

(37:10):
of America has the the highest rate in our neighborhood
in terms of the interest rates. So when when you
look at the interest rates, I mean barring, barring, like
you know failed states. Okay, Uh, there there are states

(37:31):
that are you know, absolutely underwater in a whole lot
of different ways. Uh, you know Mexicos and eight percent rate.
Tunisia is a seven point five. But when you get
into like the major economies around the world, you will
see something that is that is pretty interesting. And what
is very interesting is you're going to see like the

(37:52):
Euro right their interest rate at the at the Euro
is is like two point five. We're at a four
point five. We are at a four point five, okay,
And you get into all these countries and you say
to yourself, wait a minute, this is not this is

(38:13):
not good. The economy in the United States is solid.
We are a solid economy. We have gotten a handle
on immigration. We have got a bunch of people who
are you know, excited about what comes next. But the
interest right here is a four point five Canada, is
a two point seven Mexico. Okay, it's an eight. But

(38:36):
when you look at some of these other numbers, they're
very low. And we're not cutting the rate in that regard.
And remember everything that happens with spending your money right
when you're when you're spending the money and doing the
thing that has to happen. When we go to pay
the debt, right we're paying it at a four point

(38:59):
five percent. If if they cut it to three percent
or they cut it to two percent, we only have
to pay two percent on the interest, roughly speaking. And
so we're just getting ripped off. And this is this
is this is the problem that we're dealing with because

(39:19):
there's no skin off of Jerome Powells back, there's no
skin off of anybody else's and so the fact of
the matter is, like, look, cut the rate. There's talk

(39:45):
eleven ten ninety nine, three WBT Brett whatever, show going.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
To be with you.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I got some stuff that I want to dive into
here for a quick second. But I'm debating whether or
not I want to actually cover these stories, because yeah,
I'll do this, I'll do this. This is a story
that makes no sense to me at all. I mean,
I know what happened here, but it makes no sense
as to how this all goes. Seventy one guns stolen.

(40:16):
Seventy one guns stolen during a move, safs dumped along
a Charlotte road. Did you know about this? This is unbelievable.
Police said. Seventy one guns were stolen while being moved
from Bessemer City to Alaska. Okay, so you had them

(40:40):
in Bessemer City and you're going to Alaska with seventy
one guns and the safes that they were locked in
were later found busted along a road in North Charlotte.
One of the stolen guns has already been recovered from
a convicted felon, but the guns owner says he's praying

(41:01):
the rest don't end up in the wrong hands. Seventy
one guns and move too. Yes, crazy, Yes. The gun
owner hired movers to get his things from Bessemer City
to Fairbanks, Alaska. He said he doesn't know how it happened.
Police found the empty safes on Vance Davis Drive earlier

(41:25):
this month. The safes have dozens of firearms in them.
Oh I was devastated, said the victim. I believe. I mean,
my got's a lot of money. You are out a
ton of money, and potentially you have people that are
gonna be victimized by this. Sounds like the moving companies
should come under fire for not securing that problem. Oh gosh. Absolutely.

(41:50):
The victim is a gun collector. The safes are supposed
to be stored in a public storage off of West
horow Rid Road until they could be sent to Alaska. However,
they were found dumped twenty miles away along an industrial road.

(42:10):
I tried to do everything but right by the law,
he said. I kept them all locked up all the time,
and then this happens, So now it's pretty bad. Actually,
the police report lists all seventy one guns with an
estimated worth of nearly forty thousand dollars, But the financial
loss is not what matters to the victim, he said,

(42:32):
I just got sick to my stomach. I just don't
want anybody to get hurt because of any of those weapons.
Uh see, this is a problem the moving company. The
moving company told the police they hired two movers from Craigslist.

(42:54):
Where's your problem right there? That's like the entire problem
right there. I mean that is not as like, come
on now, that should be rule number one, like as
not do that absolutely, Like what do people from craigslists
know about moving firearms? I apparently it must be this
must be some kind of a ring or something like

(43:16):
where it's like people go, Okay, we're gonna we're willing
to go take your stuff and then we're gonna take
your stuff. That's really that's that's that's terrible. There's gotta
be something going on big, big time, big time. I mean,
I would hope it would be like a I would
hope it would be like a dea like bust or something,
you know, where they're like or the ATF We're gonna

(43:36):
do a bust. We're gonna see what's going on with
these guys. Charlotte Mecknburg police officers pulled over a car
and sow Charlotte weeks after the emptied Safes on the
side of the road. Oh okay, we we have guys.
We have guys. Sylvester Miller, a convicted felon, was in
the car and the officer said he had a gun.
The firearm was traced back to one of the stolen

(43:58):
guns from the safe. He's now fake, he's sing charges,
but it's not clear if he's being investigated as a
suspect of the theft. Uh where did they come from? Then?
How is he not a how is he not? Police
want to search his phone to see what he was
doing the day it all started. This is what I'm

(44:19):
gonna be. I'm gonna be diplomatic. I'm gonna be diplomatic.
If if if I was, if it was me, I
wouldn't be diplomatic. This is this is this is a problem.
This is a major problem. Awful do you can't? You
got you? You have to keep possession of all your stuff.

(44:41):
I mean especially firearms. I mean at firearms. I would
be willing, honestly, I would charter a jet and take
them all on a plane. Or I would I would
do something else. I would drive to Fairbanks, Alaska. It's
still summer, like you could get up there and you say, okay,
I got take my firearms. Otherwise you know, and on

(45:05):
top of that, he's got all these safes along the
side of the road. I mean, it's just really weird.
I'm not blaming the man's a victim, clearly, and clearly
there's chicanerous behavior here that should not be Nicholas, Welcome
to the program. What's on your mind? Nicholas?

Speaker 8 (45:23):
Yeah, I called before about the labor statistics person, but
you hung up on me.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Why is that?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah, I because I was moving on to another topic.
But I do appreciate the call. Nicholas. You are fantastic.
And it's also a different name. So there we go.
This guy, this guy is, this guy is amazing. He's
he's out of New Jersey. He's got a six h
nine number. I know his phone number is actually because
I can see it. Uh, he's he's he's a he's

(45:51):
a he's a professional pest. So we'll just continue. Uh,
you have to go back. You have to say to
yourself for a minute here, Okay, what are what are
we What are we going to do? What are we
going to do in terms of getting these these weapons
off the streets? I don't know, because when you end

(46:11):
up in the position with these weapons being off the streets.
How is it that you are going to be able
to get to make sure that you're able to get
every one of them back and safely secured. I don't know.
I think it's a it's a terrible situation. I mean,

(46:33):
it just it really is. Did you guys see last
night Vice President Harris? They asked her a question, a
very easy question and a question so simple to ask,
just really an easy question. They asked her last night Colbert.
Colbert's making the final rounds, you know, because he's he's

(46:54):
on his way out. I don't I don't take any
joy in seeing people lose their jobs like that. But nevertheless,
he's not going to be on that program anywhere. They're
putting it away. But when you look at Kamala Harris,
to me, this is cut number sixteen. Give me cut sixteen.
Kamala Harris with Colbert, she can't even answer a basic question.

(47:16):
Cut sixteen.

Speaker 9 (47:19):
Let me say something about Joe Biden. I have an
incredible amount of respect for him, and I think that
the way that we should be thinking about where we
are right now is to remember that we had a
president of the United States who believed in the rule

(47:40):
of law, who believed in the importance of aspiring to
have integrity and to do the work on behalf of
the people.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
And that's where I'll lead back.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I think those are there's a fine sentiment and all true.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
I'm just curious, did people say to you you should
be prepared for this.

Speaker 9 (48:09):
There were some who did, but I listen, it was
it was Joe's decision, and he made that decision.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
It was his decision. He made that decision. She then
took up the mantle and spent a lot of money
for not a lot of bang for the buck. I mean,
it's just that's one of the challenges here. News Talk

(48:45):
eleven to ten, not nine three WBT Brent Waterble show
him to be with you. Okay, So you just heard
that story about the guns. You heard all the stuff
that's going on here. But that's like, that's not even
the worst. That's not even the worst of the worst. Okay,
Because now we've got Kamala Harris, who doesn't know what

(49:05):
she wants to do moving forward. She ran for the presidency,
she did not succeed in running for the presidency. She
is now not going to run for the governorship, and
she's going to keep her powder dry till twenty twenty eight.
So think about this for a moment. You had twenty twenty,

(49:27):
which really actually started in twenty nineteen, right that race
began in twenty nineteen. She was the first person to
kind of throw her hat in the ring, and then
all of a sudden she decided, Okay, I'm I'm not
gonna be in the race. And then she got tasked
to be Joe Biden's candidate a vice president, and Joe

(49:47):
Biden did his term and then he gave up, and
then she was handed that for one hundred and seven
days to try to create a competent, compelling argument for
why it is that she should continue the policies of
Joe Biden, which is what that was going to be anyways.
And then you had then you had the announcement that

(50:13):
Donald Trump had become the president was going to be inaugurated,
and then she decides, well, I'm going to try to
go for this in twenty twenty eight. So you're talking
about a massive stretch of time. Now, I get it.
People who want to run for office can run for office.
Do whatever you want to do. It's your money, You

(50:34):
get to do whatever you want to do. Your situation
is totally one hundred percent up to you, right, But
at some point somebody has to be the adult who's
going to go up to people and say it's not
your time. You've now gone to this twice and potentially

(50:55):
if you go for a third time. I mean, look,
here's Amy Kolbachar, Amy Kobachar on CNN. She's a senator
from Minnesota. She ran in that same rat in that
same run back in twenty twenty. She was part of
that race. You know who else was part of that race?
Elizabeth Warren? Do you know who else was in that race?

(51:15):
If I gave you the list, people would probably not
remember who ran for the Democratic nomination, all right, for
the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty. The names are lost
to history, but I know who they are. Bernie Sanders,

(51:37):
Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Pete boot Edge Edge. Then,
of course, you had a whole bunch of other people
in there who never really got any any kind of traction.
Amy Kolobach, are you know these folks? These folks all
decided they were going to run for the job, and

(51:59):
the pro is it's a one and done. I think
it's a one and done. Maybe it's a two and done,
But I think that's really about it when it comes
to going for the things that you're trying to do.
Tulsi Gabbard ran in twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, Tulsie
Gabbard ran. She was a liberal at that point. Amy Kobachar,

(52:23):
Tom Steyer a man lost to history, Daval Patrick a
man lost to history, Michael Bennett, Andrew Yang. And then
you had the people like the hangers on, right. You
had you had Corey Booker, you had John Delaney, Maryanne Williamson,
you know, Julian Castro. All these people decide, Okay, we're
just gonna go for it. No, there's an upside for

(52:45):
people to go and run for the candidacy. And what
the upside for those people are, It's very easy to understand.
You're guaranteed the ability to get on the circuit, you're
guaranteed to be able to get speeches, You're able to
raise money if you decide that you want to do something.
So I mean, there, there, there you go. I mean,
this is this is the this is the challenge us

(53:07):
as we look at it. And so you know, it's
a nice way to make a living, but it's at
some point people just kind of roll their eyes at you.
All right, when we come back, I'm due for a
break here. But when we come back on the program,
something very interesting has been discovered in the investigation of

(53:34):
the Russian collusion story. Stick around for that. News Talk

(53:54):
eleven t WBT. Sorry, folks, We've we've got all these
eas alerts because we want to make sure people are
going to be safe and are able to get get
to the places that they have to go. So just
we have to you know, what goes down when it's
the summer and late in the summer afternoon, that is

(54:15):
when we get this this action. So I am very
confident that we're going to keep everybody safe. So let's
go out and talk to Dean. Dean, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
Hi, Brad, Hey, I was listening about the ICE agents
and actually the news story before where it says that
attacks against themselup like eight percent, And I was just wondering,
are they just calling after like illegal aliens that are criminals,
or are they like covering everybody. Is it just you know,

(54:47):
well it depends criminals reacting to them, or is it
just illegals period.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
It's it's a mix of all of that. And Tom
Holman had a comment yesterday that I played and Tom
Homan was saying at the time, Okay, you've got people
who are supposed to not be in the country. You've
got people that are actual national security threats, meaning people
from Iran or or or some other terrorist state. And
then the third group of people are people who have

(55:16):
been adjudicated by a judge to be out of the country. So,
in other words, they came in, they made their case,
the judge said, no, you're done, you get you have
to go back to your home country. And and that's
what's happening. So what is happening is you have people
in certain jurisdictions that are that are trying to fight
the cops, that are trying to fight ice, ICE personnel

(55:38):
and stuff like that. You've also got people who are
do not want to be deported. And so what do
they do. They want to fight physically fight, uh, to
try to stay in the country. Uh. And and that's
really what it basically comes down to, the reason why Uh,
these these folks who work in the border patrol business, uh,
in the in the in all of that's sort of stuff. Uh,

(56:01):
the reason why they have to wear masks is you've
got people that are very evil people who have decided
that they're going to target law enforcement and and they're
they're they're going to their houses, they're going there, they're
they're threatening their children, they're doing all that kind of stuff.
And uh that that's why they they are forced to

(56:23):
be put into a position with a mask, and and
and almost all of this is because the section the
sanctuary city jurisdictions do not want to cooperate it all.
They want rapists and murderers and people like that to
be free to go run around and and and and
hurt people. They don't want to see these people deported

(56:44):
because they think that they're important members of the community.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
Okay, how do they discriminate the difference? I like, and
I'm not condoning one way or the other. If you're
not here legally, if you want to take it to
the f degree, you can say it don't bold here.
But say somebody that came ten or fifteen years ago
or something, and they've worked here and they had children
or something like that. And I'm not trying to make
a case for it. I'm just saying they're all lower

(57:10):
on the list, I would assume because they're probably going
to be the most passive and want to be under
the radar kind of people, right, I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I look, if you're in if you're in violation of
the law, and the police show up to take you
into custody. M h, I mean, I I don't how
how how does that work? Right? How does that?

Speaker 5 (57:37):
That's where I get not a trouble thing, but I'm
trying to think it out and saying, so, so where where,
where where do things normalize for ICE?

Speaker 1 (57:47):
I mean, you know, they have to they have to
remove the people who are not supposed to be in
the country.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
So that would be all any illegal alien, regardless of
whether they were a rapist or a criminal or if
they just well.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
I mean, I think it was pretty it was pretty
clear early on on this that they were prioritizing violent felons.
But over a period of time, when you you're going
to run down the violent felons, so you're going to
go after the rapists, You're going to go after child abusers,
you're going to go after you know that that grouping
of people. But at some point if you have been

(58:22):
told to leave the country and you've remained in the country.
That's the unfortunate nature of this because if.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
You if you never even at that point, because if
you're told, who's telling them to leave?

Speaker 1 (58:36):
I mean, is they have a they have a court
they have an order, they have a court order that
says we're going to pick this person up.

Speaker 5 (58:43):
Okay, because just two other points, you know, one, I
just wonder again, I'm all for what they're doing right
now and everything, but you know, is is there a
correlation at some point where it can be abused and
becomes sort of cleansing in nature with the one question

(59:03):
and the other question is if they're doing you know,
they're doing such a good job and they're removing these
rapists and all that, why can do you ever see
a point where they'll just take any rapist, any criminal
that's on the street and deport them to help make
the people are being go on that premise, the.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
People that are being deported are being deported back to
their country.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
So in other words, we're all immigrants in some way.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
No you're a rapist or not, No or not, it's
it's not the same thing. It's not.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
It's but there's always a place to deport people too.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
I mean, okay, what kind of world like what? I
don't understand the kind of world you're painting. So let
me ask you. Let me ask you, Let me ask
you this. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna turn
it back around to you. How much am I allowed
to steal from a store?

Speaker 8 (59:54):
None?

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Okay, there's your answer. So if I steal from a store,
where am I go and ago? You know where am
I gonna go? Where are they gonna put me?

Speaker 8 (01:00:07):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
You know, I I don't know that you can make
a general.

what's going to happen to me?

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
M m You're eventually you're going to be responded.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Eventually. No, you're gonna go to jail.

You're going to go to jail, which is what they've
gotten awayrant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
God bless you, man. I I know you. Maybe you
may want to have some people come and take up
residence with you. I mean maybe. I mean, I don't
know what Dean, I really this This is this is
a very interesting conversation. I think the audience really enjoyed
the back and forth, and I hope you have a
wonderful weekend. News Talk eleven ten, ninety nine to three WBC.

(01:01:11):
It's the Brett Winterboll Show. It's good to be with you.
Seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten. A lot
of stuff is kind of making the rounds here. So
Charlotte offense office vacancy hits record, but industry experts says,
one deal skews data. So you heard earlier today right there,

(01:01:33):
there was a very low number when it came to
the to the jobs that were being created. Now you
come over here and you see this this storyline that
says Charlotte's overall office vacancy hit a record high of
twenty six percent in the second quarter. And people are saying, okay, well,

(01:01:57):
but you're not going to get the whole story on this.
Here's the issue. The issue is we need people to
start doing the things that they need to do to
create their own businesses and those sorts of things, and unfortunately,

(01:02:17):
people I think are gun shy about doing this. And
I think a lot of it, I do think a
lot of it is the is the the rates that
are out there. I think that is that is something
that that's a that's a factor when you when you
look at at these things. And now, the funny thing
about it is those who are the wealthiest, those are
the people who at the other end of the spectrum

(01:02:39):
are gonna are gonna make out like bandits because they
have to cut the rate. Now you've had a bad
job's number. Uh, and there's just there's no way to
work around that. It's a bad job's number. And it's
been a couple of bad job numbers. Wall Street strategists
are now sharply recalibrating their economic outlooks after Friday's July

(01:03:02):
jobs report showing weaker than expected hiring and staggering downward
revisions to prior months data, suggesting that the labor market
may be losing steam at a quicker pace than previously thought.
The US economy added just seventy three thousand jobs in July,

(01:03:27):
far below the one hundred and four thousand expected by economists,
but the bigger surprise came from the revisions to the
May and the June figures, which collectively erased two hundred
and fifty eight thousand jobs. Now that that's kind of weird, right,
It's kind of hey, you know, what I got. I

(01:03:48):
got five hundred thousand dollars in my account. No, it
turns out I've only got two hundred and fifty eight
thousand dollars in my account. Oh well, that was just
a revision. It's okay. No, you're gonna ask questions about that,
aren't you. Sarah House, a senior economist at Wells Fargo,
called the July jobs report a dud in a client

(01:04:11):
note titled July and the no good, very bad Jobs Report.
I love millennials. The solid state of the labor market
described by the FOMC earlier this week looks more questionable
after the July employment report, she said, citing broad based

(01:04:38):
hiring weakness in cyclicy sensitive sectors like manufacturing, retail, and
professional services despite persistent strength and the healthcare hiring. She added,
the pace of job growth has lurched lower to just
thirty five thousand over the pass three months with the revisions.

(01:05:03):
Steve Sosnik, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, bluntly told Yahoo
Finance bluntly that the July numbers were simply not good.
There's no way to sugarcoat it. The two month revision
is just staggering. It basically wipes out two months of

(01:05:24):
what we thought were healthy job gains. Now, how would
that have happened? How do you just suddenly wipe out
a bunch of these numbers. I don't know. City economist
Veronica Clark agreed, telling Yahoo Finance, it's not so much
for this July number, but the massive downward revisions to

(01:05:45):
the June number that we had last month. This definitely
does look like a labor market that is weakening. So
what would you want to do? Cut the raids? What
did Jerome pal want to do? Not cut the raids?
Joe Jerome Palell obviously saw these numbers earlier in the
week and didn't decide he was going to come out
and say, oh, we got to cut the rates. This

(01:06:07):
is the problem when you have to deal with the
wizards of smart at the FED. Meanwhile, Heather Long, chief
economist at Naval Navy Federal Credit Union, called the report
a game changer in a post on x echoing in

(01:06:30):
saying the labor market now looks weaker than expected. The
unemployment rate ticked up to four point two percent in July,
and now they'll probably revise that next month so that
we can't have a so we can't have a rate cut.
You know, that's probably what's gonna happen, Like, oh yeah,

(01:06:51):
you want a rate cut. Oh sorry, we're revising it up.
It was really a big number. Head of the report,
there were growing concern that increased deportations are reducing labor
supply and keeping the jobless rate artificially low. Okay, so

(01:07:11):
let's bring them all back in, bring them all back in,
put them in the hotels. Remember they were in the
hotels in New York. Bring everybody back. Everybody. Are we
gonna get to bring in? Uh, you know who we
got to bring in? You know, you know who we
got to bring them in. No, I'll tell you who
we gotta bring in. It is a very easy one
right here. We need to bring back the trend a

(01:07:34):
of Raguas. Those guys they had it going on. They
had it. It was it was a big it was
a big accomplishment where they were taking over hotels, they
were taking over apartment buildings. Yeah yeah, let's let's we
just need if we could just bring these people back.

(01:07:55):
You know what, what if somebody proposed something like that,
We're going to bring them back and not pay them
and we'll just keep all the money. No, that's not fair,
it's awful and that would never happen. But like so,
our economy is so weak that we have to bring

(01:08:15):
people into the country to do the jobs that are
not now available. What is that You want to know something.
I have a theory about this. What happened in Texas
right in the middle of this month, huge flood probably

(01:08:37):
had no effect on the economy. All that stuff that
got destroyed, all the crops that got destroyed, all the
infrastructure that got destroyed. You know what, when are we
going to have the concert for Texas? We did one
for Rozzie. When are we gonna have the fundraiser for Texas?
Texas doesn't get a fundraiser. What we need to do

(01:09:01):
is just get more people in Texas, to bring in
more illegals, and that'll be the answer. That's what they're
saying here. They're saying ahead of the report, there were
growing concerns that increased deportations were reducing labor supply and
keeping the jobless rate artificially low. You're welcome. News Talk eleven,

(01:09:41):
ten ninety nine three WBT, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
will shut down its operations after the loss of federal funding.
The nonprofit said on Friday, ending decades of support for
local TV and radio stations that have relied on its grants.
So that is a new development, uh, that is that

(01:10:02):
has come out that where it's actually just come to pass,
uh in that regard. So that is uh, that's one
of the it's one of the big stories that that
is out there as as we speak. One of the
things that I think should happen is there should be
a little de democratization of communications generally. Right you are

(01:10:27):
able to set up almost for free u a a website.
You can you can set up a sub stack, you
can put all those sorts of things, and you can
go and opine on on what it is you think
is important on the different issues that are questioned, things
like that, And I think that's that's something Once upon

(01:10:47):
a time we had a need maybe for for the
ability to communicate across the country, but we are now
in a period where you could do anything you want
on your phone. I mean, your phone is right there
and you can get all the information that you need
off your phone. I said earlier today that the President

(01:11:10):
has announced twenty five percent tariffs on India because they
don't want to play games. They want to play games
with the trade barrier. Somebody else who is now being
talked about extensively is one George Soros. Has anybody ever
heard of him? Any ever ever heard of George Soros?

(01:11:32):
Well Burchett Cogsman Burchett is floating the idea of having
him subpoenaed and having him come in and talk about
Leonard Bernardo and the efforts that were made during that
campaign in twenty twenty and so there is a call

(01:11:55):
to have this happen and to have this thing investigated again. Now.
I was talking to somebody earlier today and they were
asking me, why do you keep going back to the investigation. Well,
if you did the investigation thoroughly, then maybe you would
have gotten a lot of information. But the fact of
the matter is you you're in a different, completely different

(01:12:18):
position now because if you had the full investigation, meaning
the documents that were in the burn bags, and you
were able to read the stuff and the annex and
all that, then you could say, Okay, you know what,
guess what, we did a thorough investigation. We tried our best,
we gave our we gave our absolute best. All the
way around. But when you put your thumb and your

(01:12:41):
knee and and your butt and your feet on the scale,
then you know what happens. It's not a real investigation.
It's a it's a setup. It's a joke. You know
what if I told you that I have I have
fifty eight billion dollars right now, I have fifty and

(01:13:05):
you come in you say, wow, really fifty eight billion dollars?
Can I see it? No, we know that we have it,
and it's just it's fine, Everything's gonna be okay. Don't
worry about it. Don't be bothering me about my fifty
eight billion dollars. You have to show the evidence. You
have to show the evidence. And so Tim Burchett is
like ready to subpoena Soros in company, Soros and Bernardo,

(01:13:33):
and it's a pretty incredible thing. There was on July
the twenty seventh, twenty sixteen, a memo from Leonard Bernardo,
who is an affiliate of the Soros peeps. Here's exactly
what was sent hi Hillary Rodham. Clinton approved Julia's idea

(01:13:57):
about Trump and Russian hackers hampering US selections that should
distract people from her own missing email especially if the
affair goes to the Olympic level. The point is making
the Russians play a US domestic issue, say something like
a critical infrastructure threat for the election to maintain and

(01:14:21):
to menace. Since both Potus and Vpotus have been acknowledged
the fact in the intelligence community would speed up searching
for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable. However, there seems
to be signs from the GRU that's the Soviets penetration

(01:14:42):
on the VPN and the Elite VPN with felix ed Minovitch.
They appear hardly skilled, in competent, bumbling idiots, as SMB
once called them. In absence of direct evidence, CrowdStrike and
threat connect will supply the media and the g r
U will hopefully carry on to give more facts to

(01:15:05):
take out Trump bing Bong bing bing Bong bong.

Speaker 9 (01:15:18):
No save two.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Dude's Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT. It's the
Brett Winterable Show. Good to be with you seven four
or five seven h eleven ten, would be very careful.
It's very dark outside, it's nasty. Pack your patients, as
they say. I don't normally use that phrase, but I'm serious.
You got to pack your patients because this is this
is gonna be ugly, ugly, ugly, And just be careful.

(01:15:51):
Don't be outside if you don't have to be outside.
You know it's all those challenges, right, you know what's
going on, right, you know what's going on. I refuse
to be bummed out by like this job's report, and
I refuse to be down in the mouth because of this,

(01:16:12):
that or the other thing. And I want to I
want to share something with you, and I'm hoping you'll
find it helpful. And I want to talk about the
edge of greatness when you are on the edge of greatness.

(01:16:33):
And I have a reason for this. You'll you'll understand
in a moment what is greatness if not the child
of risk, not comfort, not caution, but the trembling step
into the unknown where fear lives. Yes, but so does glory.

(01:16:57):
Fear and glory occupy the same territory. Moses stood before
the Red Sea, not with a map, but with a staff.
He risked ridicule, rebellion, and ruin to lead people not
yet free, toward a promise not yet seen. He didn't

(01:17:21):
ask is it safe? He asked is it right? Leonidas
was the King of Sparta three hundred stood with him,
but the world remembers him because he stood first. He
risked annihilation to remind tyrants that freedom has a spine.

(01:17:51):
Harriet Tubman was born in chains, but she broke them,
not just for herself. She returned again and again, risking capture, torture, death,
to pull others from the jaws of slavery. She did
not wait for permission. She became the permission. The apostle Paul,

(01:18:16):
once a persecutor, then a preacher, he risked reputation, imprisonment,
shipwreck to speak truth to power and grace to the broken.
He did not build temples, he built movements. Elijah, the

(01:18:41):
prophet of Fire, he stood alone on Mount Carmel against kings, priests,
and popular opinion. He risked death to call down Heaven,
and Heaven answered. Because sometimes to do something divine, you
must first look foolish. So I ask you, are you

(01:19:06):
gonna play it safe? Your country was returned to you
in some measure? Will you make it greater? So I
ask you, will you play it safe or will you
step out? Will your guard? Will you guard your comfort?

(01:19:26):
Or will you gamble your name for something eternal? Because
Greatness is not given. Greatness is not given. It is
taken by those who dare to risk everything everything. That's

(01:19:52):
what we should be thinking about. We put ourselves in
a box, a tiny box, and there is so much
else out beyond that place, and that is what we
should be focusing on. What comes next, what we will do.
We are not We are not a country that hides itself.

(01:20:19):
We are a country that has opportunity. And this is
one of the only countries in the history of humankind
that has figured out ways to create, to change course,
to invent, to liberate you and you and you. A

(01:20:47):
job's number is just a calculation in a ledger. Are
you going to hold that against the opportunity of freedom?
Today is an auspicious day. Today's an auspicious day. It's
a little bit of a historical day. And I will

(01:21:12):
come back here in a couple of moments. I'm sure
we're probably going to get another aas coming across the
transom here. But we we we we should remember the
greatness that's out there. And you've seen the greatness that's
out there, and you've understood the greatness that's out there,

(01:21:32):
and so one of the things that I want to.
I want to reflect upon is something very interesting that
happened thirty seven years ago, thirty seven years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:22:00):
You are.

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
Good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
Let's do the news Talk eleven three w BT. It's

(01:22:31):
the Brett winter Bull Show. Final segment of the program.
Coming up next, we'll have breaking with Brett Jensen and
and then obviously it would be great to t J
coming in and spending time as well. Be careful if
you're out there driving around, be careful. You want to
want to take very very caution cautionary steps out there.
Don't speed, don't do any of that kind of stuff
like that. You know, it's one of those things. So

(01:22:54):
you guys probably know this, but maybe you don't know this.
Thirty seven years ago today, thirty seven years ago today,
Rush Limbaugh debuted in his beginning of his syndication that

(01:23:15):
was Today's always It's always, uh August the first. And
so he was somebody who to this day still has
an incredible, incredible reach across the time and the spectrum
and all that sort of stuff. And whenever I think
about him, and I do think about him still obviously,

(01:23:37):
but whenever I think about him, one of the things
that strikes me is the way he willed himself to
this show. The stage was set for his national syndication,
which came in nineteen eighty eight. And what's really cool

(01:23:59):
about this was everybody who starts something new, everybody that
starts something new is nervous at first, very nervous, like
you don't know if it's going to work. You toss
and you turn, and you you try to figure out
the best way to get these things in the right position.

(01:24:21):
And the thing about this is you you see what
he was able to build over the course of all
those years, and he's still obviously a huge factor in
so many people's lives. And you know, when you think
about this, you can do it too. And that's that

(01:24:42):
was one of the things that Rush talked about all
the time. He was always trying to get people to
do things that would elevate them's. He was one of
those people where you could elevate to a to a
very large degree if you just put in the work,
if you're willing to make the effort and do that

(01:25:04):
sort of stuff, and you're going to fail so many
more times than you're ever going to win. But it
is in that failing that you learn the most important
stuff about you, right about you. And when I was
thinking about him today on that thirty seventh anniversary of

(01:25:26):
the syndicated show, you know, this is a guy who
got fired a whole bunch of times, and he talked
about that and spent a lot of time in different
stations and all that sort of stuff. But when you
have that fire inside you, when you're pushing forward inside you,
it is something that's really important. Like I was talking
a couple of minutes ago about the notion of the

(01:25:50):
edge of greatness being on the edge of greatness, and
greatness can be a fleeting thing if you're not careful.
And fear is something that's present with everybody, right everybody
in the sound of my voice. You worry about something,
you're afraid of something, you're afraid of, something that could

(01:26:13):
possibly happen or not. But fear creeps in like a fog, soft,
silent and suffocating. It whispers that you're not enough, that
you'll fail, that you'll fail. And so we shrink, we stall,
we settle. But I say you have to cast that off,

(01:26:38):
not for a reckless lark, not to chase vanity or thrills,
but because you me, us, we were made for more,
we were called to live, not just survive, to live.

(01:27:00):
It'smist wrote, the Lord is my light and my salvation.
Who shall I fear? And centuries before that, the Egyptian
Book of the Dead whispered that I have not been idle,
I have not wasted time. Even then they knew time
is the currency of courage. Memento maury. Right, you know

(01:27:21):
the phrase memento mouri means remember, you will die, not
to despair, but to awaken, to shake off the chains
of hesitation, and to live with holy fire. Epictetis, a
great thinker, said, it's not just things that disturb us,
but it's our judgments about them. Jesus said, do not

(01:27:45):
be afraid, little flock, for your father has pleased, has
been pleased to give you the kingdom. And centuries later,
Roosevelt thundered, the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself. Fear is not a guardian, It's a thief.
It steals your voice, it steals your vision, it steals
your very soul. But love casts out fear. Love says

(01:28:08):
you're known, you're chosen, you are not alone. So live
and so as I was saying, but love casts out fear,
and love says that you're known, and says that you
are chosen, and says that you are not alone. So
we should always live, live as if the tomb is empty,

(01:28:29):
because it is live, as if your days are numbered
because they are live, as if your life is a gift,
because it always was. Marcus Aurelius understood this, not that
death that a man should fear, but never beginning to live.
Mother Teresa said, do small things with great love. And today,

(01:28:53):
in this very moment, let you say I will not
be afraid, I will believe, and I will love because
fear may knock, but it is faith that opens the door,
and love love walks through it. The brave sometimes just

(01:29:14):
put on a brave face, But that is how you achieve.
That is how you build the thing where people talk
about you long after you're gone. There have been incredible
people that have come through our existence, right, and no
matter how many years you've been on this earth, but
you have seen incredible people do incredible things, and you

(01:29:34):
have seen incredible people do terrible things. But it's a
pursuit of understanding what you want to do and how
you want to do that. That's why I was thinking
about Rush in the thirty seven years since he started
this program, because it is the one program that is transformational.
It gave you the feeling that you could do anything.

(01:29:57):
It gave you a pep talk, It gave you the thoughts,
it gave you arguments that you could deploy against liberals
in your life, and all that other sort of stuff.
You could do all of those things, all of those things,
and so keep you motivated. I want you to hear
this from Rush go.

Speaker 10 (01:30:18):
My point in all of this, today's gratitude, my point
in everything today that I share with you about this
is to say thanks and to tell everybody involved how
much I love you from the bottom of a sizeable
and growing and still beating heart. I wasn't expected to

(01:30:39):
be alive today. You have an expiration date. A lot
of people never get told that, and so they don't
face life this way. I've learned what love really is during.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
This, Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the weekend, enjoy the night,
enjoy your friends, and do great things. Thanks to Isaac
and all of you. News Talk eleven ten nine nine
