National Security at Risk And More On The Brett Winterble Show

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

Brett kicks off the program by being joined by RNC Chair Michael Whatley to discuss the political landscape in North Carolina and the broader national outlook heading into the 2026 election cycle. Whatley emphasizes the importance of electing strong conservative leaders aligned with former President Trump’s agenda, including border security, economic growth, and restoring American strength at home and abroad. The conversation highlights North Carolina’s unique position as a bellwether state, with its strong military presence, agricultural roots, and vibrant business community. Whatley criticizes the Democratic Party’s policies as radical and out of step with everyday Americans, while praising Republican efforts to deliver on promises. He hints at a significant announcement coming next week, signaling potential shifts in North Carolina's political scene

Later, Brett dives into a passionate monologue criticizing the current state of U.S. immigration and economic policy, highlighting what he sees as alarming national security risks—particularly the influx of unvetted Chinese nationals. He contrasts this with commentary from conservative voices like Larry Kudlow and Philip Patrick, who praise former President Trump’s accomplishments, especially on border control and economic reform.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT. It is
the Brettwitterbull Show. It is great to be with you
here today. Seven o four five seven zero eleven ten.
I am honored to be welcoming to the program somebody
whose work I've admired for a long time and I
consider him as a bright light in North Carolina and beyond.

(00:31):
And he is the RNC chair Michael Wattley, joining us
here today. Chairman Wattley, it's great to have you on
the program.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It is always good to be on with you, Brett.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So, you know, I'm just sitting back here. It's a
very hot afternoon, it's a Friday, and I'm just I'm
just sort of ruminating and wondering. So what's new with you?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
You know?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I gotta say we are are in a position right
now where we're contemplating what's going to happen next with
the United States Senate seat. And you know, I think
that as a Republican we are in a really, really
good position to be able to win that seat. But
we are going to have to find a conservative who

(01:19):
is very very close with President Trump and who is
absolutely allied to his vision for making America great again,
which is a strong country. It's a strong border, it's
a strong economy, and it's a strong standing in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay, And I've just checked off two different boxes right
there in that conversation with you. You seem to fit
the model for that, my friend. I mean, this is
this is something that is fascinating and obviously something that
that could be a game changer coming up in this

(01:53):
next election. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Look, I think that you know there there really is
uh an opportunity here in North Carolina, uh for us
to elect an ally of the president.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And and somebody who understands, uh, you know that that
North Carolina families, in North Carolina communities need a strong country. Uh,
and they need a strong state. You know when you
think about you know, North Carolina with our agricultural community,
with the banking and business community that we have in Charlotte.
You know the fact that we have more soldiers and
veterans and military families than any other state in the country.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know, this is a unique state, but it's also
a microcosm of the entire country.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
And we need uh to to have leadership in Washington
that is going to fight for North Carolina. Values. And
if you look at the Democratic Party right now here
in North Carolina, they're putting their arm around the Democratic
Party nationally.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And then it really truly is you know, a an
open borders, inflationary spending, anti Semitic week, America week, North
Carolina Party.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
That not where the North Carolina voters are.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So as you as you look at the landscape across
the country, you've got the big, the great, big, beautiful
bill that passed. You're seeing historic moves that are being made,
not just in the economy, but also with a sense
of people in the United States feeling like the country
is getting stronger again. Immigration is a huge issue, all

(03:24):
of those sorts of things. How do you kind of
codify all that sort of stuff when you're doing the
work not just in your office and not just with
the President of the United States, but also the folks
down ballot who are going to have to hold that
line when it comes to twenty twenty six. What are

(03:47):
we looking at here, mister.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Chairman, Well, look, I think that you know, the voters
in twenty four elected President Trump, a Republican House and
a Republican Senate with a mandate to make America great again,
right to rebuild our economy, to restore the southern border,
to make sure that our kids and communities are safe,
and that America is going to be strong again. And

(04:08):
so what we have seen from the President is he
is delivering every single day on that agenda. And we've
also seen Congress and the Senate step up and pass
the Big Beautiful Bill, which is really truly the legislative
embodiment of this agenda. And as long as Republicans are
delivering for the American people on the issues that they

(04:29):
care about, the Republicans are going to be in a
much stronger position than the Democrats who are really trying
to take this country off a cliff to the left,
and they are really truly working every day against the
interests of their own constituents and voters.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And certainly that's a very important idea right there, right
the idea of them going further and further radical, whether
it's in New York City or whether it's in Raleigh,
or whether it's on the West Coast or any of
these other places. These folks seem to think that, but
the answer is revolution. Revolution, revolutions as opposed to prosperity,

(05:06):
and the things that matter to the average person, more
money in their pockets, say for streets, and of course
obviously the need to secure what has been brought so far.
So from the position of our NC chair, what is
the mission for you moving forward as we get through

(05:27):
this recess and then into the fall.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Sure, you know, I think you know, from the rnc's perspective,
it is going to be to continue to support the
President and his agenda, making sure that we are amplifying
his message around the country about the promises made, promises kept,
work ethic that he is delivering. Make sure that Congress
is going to continue their support of the President's agenda

(05:53):
to be able to move forward. And for myself, you know,
we're going to have an announcement coming up next week
and I'm very excited about that. But you know, I
think that that we are in a position right here
in North Carolina to continue to be, uh, you know,
a leader for the rest of the country when it
comes to winning in battleground states and putting, you know,

(06:15):
forward a vision for this country.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
And listen, you you you just made a big bit
of news right there. With an announcement coming next week,
certainly this audience and certainly this radio station WBT are
are are very much excited about this potential matchup that
may be coming uh in the future, because this will

(06:38):
be the I think the acid test for any of
those races out across the Fruited Plaine, as Rush would say,
And I think that that is that is going to
be the ultimate test, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It really is. You know, I think about the agendas
that that President Trump and the Republicans ran on in
the last cycle, which is really truly how to make
America strong, how to make North carol line of strong,
and how to fight for every family and every community
versus the Democrats right now, who are fighting harder for violent, criminal,
illegal aliens than they are their own constituents. They're fighting

(07:11):
harder to be able to put men in women's sports
and in women's locker rooms than they are for the
girls across this country. They have a radical, woke, out
of step agenda that they're fighting for every single day.
You know, Donald Trump said it best right, he is
a common sense candidate. This is a common sense crusade,
and we're going to fight for every family across North

(07:32):
Carolina and the country.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Listen, our NC chair Michael Wattley. It's great to talk
to you. It's great to catch up with you as
people want to learn more about the efforts there inside
the the RNC, et cetera. Where do people go to
get more information on that?

Speaker 2 (07:49):
They can go to follow me on X at Chairman Wattley.
They also can follow the the the r NC on
X as well. And look, you know, I think that
we're in a solid position right now in North Carolina
and across the country because Donald Trump is leading this party.
He has revolutionized the Republican Party. He has made sure

(08:11):
that we're going to be a party for every community,
for every family, and we are going to make America
great again.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
We certainly appreciate your time. We know how busy you are.
We wish you well all the best and look forward
to catching up with you again. The door is always open,
my friend. Thank you so much for being here.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Excellent, Thank you so much, Brett, you.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Got it absolutely. That is the RNC chair Michael Wattley
joining us here today and it is a pleasure to
be with him. News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine three WBT.

(08:49):
It's the Brett wintervill Show. And if you've just joined us,
you've maybe heard the conversation between myself and the RNC
chair Michael Wattley. He's going to have a big announcement
next week. We're going to keep our eyes open for that.
And it's a pleasure to be with you here today.
Everything is fair game here today because it is a Friday,
and there's a whole bunch of stuff that's moving out there.

(09:10):
Some of the storylines that I think are very interesting
include the notion that you have President Trump continuing to
push this fight. He's now headed off to He's heading
off to Scotland. He's flying out to Scotland to go
to the to go to the tournament. But the DJ

(09:30):
has concluded a second day of meetings with Epstein's associate
in the form of Julane Maxwell, and you had a
number of people showing up there. Most importantly obviously Todd
Blanche was there. But Trump earlier said he hasn't thought
about giving Jelaane Maxwell a pardon. CNN is all breathless

(09:52):
looking at this storyline and hoping that he would maybe
give her a, you know, a pardon or things like that.
We do not know what they talked about, and we
don't know what kind of offer was coming from Julane
Maxwell or anything like that. So that's a story that
is going to continue to move and to track down

(10:15):
the line. And so we'll have to wait and see
and see how this stuff is going to go. But
at the same time, we've got a big story emerging.
And I was glad to hear Pete talking about this
at the beginning of his show. And it's the notion
that the president of the United States wants to include
quality of life in American cities and jurisdictions for so

(10:39):
many people, they live with an unbelievable amount of crime,
detritus on the streets, all that sort of stuff. People
who are sleeping on sidewalks, people who are out of
their mind on drugs, people who are defecating publicly. All
of that sort of stuff is a concern because that
is a quality of life issue. And I want to

(11:01):
go back in time to the original run by President Trump.
He ran for the presidency in twenty sixteen. He got
the nomination and ended up with the win. And one
of the things that Donald Trump did very effectively, very
very very effectively, was run as a mayor would run.

(11:25):
So what does that mean. It means getting crime down.
It means attracting companies to come into communities, and it
also means locking people up who need to be locked up.
You do not have a right to go and sleep
on your neighbor's yard, on your neighbor's lawn, or on
a sidewalk in front of your neighbor's house. And if

(11:47):
somebody did that in front of your house, you'd probably
call the cops. You'd probably say, what are you doing?
What is going on? You're hammered, or you're high, or
your any of those things. Why are you taking this
commune unity and taking it down?

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Down?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Down? That is what President Trump ran as accept. All
you had to do was take the transitive notion and say, listen,
we are going to make communities safer again. Illegal immigration,
criminals off the streets, illegal immigration, and law enforcement. We

(12:25):
are going to make sure that your grandmother is going
to be safe when she's living in her house and
has to walk down the street to go get groceries.
That's quality of life stuff. He has now signed an
executive order and he has said in so much language,
he has said that this has got to stop. The

(12:49):
American people deserve the ability to go and to spend
time in their neighborhoods and not have to worry about
the murderer, the rapist, the drug dealer, the alcoholic, the

(13:09):
adult pated, the person who's so high that they don't
even know where they're where they're walking. All of that
stuff has got to be taken in. And what he's
doing now is he's ordering communities to clean it up.
To clean it up. Now, they're gonna say no, because

(13:30):
when you look at a Karen Bass, when you look
at a Newsome, when you look at a Pritzker, when
you look at a mommy over there in New York,
these people do not care about quality of life. They

(13:51):
don't care because they're rich. They're rich beyond anything you
could imagine, and they turn their backs on you. Pritzker
is an heir to a hotel chain. Gavin Newsom is
a fake and a phony who pretends to be for

(14:12):
the little guy. Karen Bass is an unrestrained, un forgiven
leftist that doesn't care about the quality of life. She
cares about Marxism and communism. If you don't believe me,

(14:34):
go check out their cities. San Francisco, Portland, Washington, the
state of Washington, Seattle, go down to any of these
places and you will see what that is. So President
Trump came out today and he ordered these communities to

(14:56):
clean it up. This is an interesting pivot because everybody
understands what quality of life is, whether it's a shootout
up in Cataba, whether it's a shootout in Charlotte itself,

(15:16):
if it's criminality, it's got to go. It has got
to go, and he has I guarantee you he's got
an eighty five ninety percent approval on that sort of stuff.
Quality of life issues, those things matter, and I think
it's an important thing to look at. Coming up, we'll

(15:37):
dive into that. We'll take your phone calls as well.
If you want to send us a note a text
on the text line, you can check us out WBT
text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. I'm Brett Widable

(16:08):
News Talk eleven ten, not nine to three WBT. It's
the Brettwinterboll Show. Get to be with you, Okay. So
apparently there's freaking out taking place because of the Tulsi
Gabbard reveals that came out in the last couple of days.
I know there's a lot of people very upset that
these things were revealed. Why this is MSNBC. Why Tulsi

(16:30):
Gabbard's treason is conspiracy case against Obama is absurd? That's
that's what they've got over there. By Jeshan Aleem, MSNBC
opinion writers slash editor, How can you be an opinion
writer and an editor, Like one of them is opinion,

(16:51):
one of them is editoring. So this guy's like every Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
I smear every Tuesday Thursday. I don't that's impossible. It
doesn't make any sense. As President Donald Trump tries to
quiet a rebellion from his own base over his administration's

(17:14):
decision to withhold the release of the complete Jeffrey Epstein files,
his Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbert, is going on offense.
Through memos and documents released both last week and this week.
Gabbert is attempting to advance the evidence free claim that

(17:37):
officials in former President Barack Obama administration engaged in a
treasonous conspiracy and a coup attempt in twenty sixteen. So
while she this z Sean Elim, who is an MSNBC
opinion writer and an editor, I don't know how you

(17:59):
could do Okay, listen to me. Listen to me. I'm
going up to bat. I'm going up to bat at
a big time world series. But I am also an umpire.
That's pretty good. Of course that ball was Come on,

(18:21):
what are you kidding me? Just keep giving me the
balls here, that's all we got. What are you doing?
So he says, this is a terrible approach, This is
not right, this is not accurate. Well, the reports bring
a bit of new information to light about US intelligence operations.
They don't dislodge the many well substantiated Can you have

(18:45):
more adjectives well substantiated assessments indicating Russia intervened in twenty
sixteen to hurt Hillary Clinton and boost Donald Trump? Where's
that come from? Because it doesn't seem to me that
Hillary Clinton got any downside. She was still able to

(19:07):
grift e grift for the next ten years. President Trump
was impeached, was chased, a whole bunch of stuff. Allegations
were made by people who didn't belong anywhere within the
intelligence community. They actually belong in the other conference, not
the intelligence community, the unintelligence community. I remember when Kendlanian

(19:30):
blocked me. It was my proudest day because I said
to him. I said to him on X, I said,
you know what's really cool. You wrote a bunch of
phony stories over at the Wall Street Journal, and then
suddenly you got hired at NBC News. What a climb.
And he blocked me. He blocked me. Look, I don't

(19:52):
I'm not an editor. I have opinion, and I'm proud
of being an opinion guy. I don't need to have
a lean to tell me what I gotta say because
he's an opinion person and an editor. Will the reports
bring a bit of new information to light about the
US intelligence operations? Yeah, see just that alone. Hey, it's

(20:15):
an election. Here are some US intelligence operations. You shouldn't
be having US intelligence operations in the middle of an election.
That's what they do in third world countries. That's where
you get a kudaeta kudaeta Amolotov. I mean, that's not
right at all. That's crazy. Gabbard's maneuvering appears to be

(20:36):
an attempt to put meat on the bone. Wow, cliches.
This guy's an editor and he's got nothing but cliches.
Let's put some meat on that bone. That's not possible.
That's not possible. And I thought all of you. We're
just a bunch of vegans. Here's the thing, here's the thing.

(20:58):
They're getting nervous. In fact, there's reporting out there that
I saw earlier today that Barack Obama specifically is getting
hot under the collar. Now, Donald Trump has left a
gift for Barack. Who's say to Obama, do you know
what the gift is? Donald Trump was dragged into a

(21:20):
courtroom and was forced to sit there with Mrshan and company.
And you know what we found out. We found out
that a president has immunity. So Barack Obama has immunity,
so he doesn't have to worry about getting thrown in
the clink, even though the Biden administration tried to throw

(21:41):
Donald Trump into the clink when he wasn't getting shot at.
But here's the thing, here's the thing. Barack Obama's not
going to go into the clink. He's not going to
get arrested, he's not going to None of that's going
to happen, right because Donald Trump did the hard work
of suing and becoming immune from going to prison. So

(22:02):
here's the interesting thing. I don't believe that that blanket
covers Susan Rice Brannan at all those are the people
that need to be lawyer and up because that's where
the evidence is.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Going to be.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Barack Obama just signed off on a whole bunch of documents.
We can go look at him, we can see him.
Donald Trump could declassify him today if he wanted to.
He hasn't done that. But the reality is it's the underlings,
the underlings that are going to have to be sweating it.
Crush your eyes, crush your eyes, and crush your te's.

(22:43):
I got that wrong.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
That's okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
So I want to play something for you guys. This
This is something that is completely well. I don't even
know what to do with this story. So I'm just
gonna let you guys hear this. So there is a
governor out in out out in the far far reaches
of the United States. Obviously you know about all of

(23:29):
the stuff that goes on with like Guam and stuff
like that, like that part. So there was a governor
named Governor Arnold Palasios. Do you guys know anything about
this person? A Governor Palasios. He died on Wednesday, So
he was he was the governor out by Guam. Okay,

(23:51):
is it really is? Is and I'm not obviously I'm not.
I'm not being facetious or anything like that. But it's
one of these pieces of territory. It's it's a territory
of the United States. That's all the way out. It's
out by Saipan. I mean, that's how far we're going here, Okay.
And so this this governor, the person who's in charge

(24:12):
of that area, they died suddenly, and they were they
flew to they they took them on a helicopter or
on a plane to get over to Guam so that
they can get a treatment. And the governor died. So
earlier today there was an interview done between between Steve

(24:36):
Bannon and I know he may not be your cup
of tea, but it was a Steve Bannon talking to
Cleo Pascal. Listen to this story and the thing she
reveals that I think is unbelievable. This is cut number four.
Something's going on way way way out out west Cut

(24:59):
number four.

Speaker 7 (24:59):
Please, this is an American governor of American territory in
the United States.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Guam.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
We know how important Guam is, but if you look
just north of Guam, you have the common Wealth and
Northern Marianna Islands. This is a chain of islands that
is contiguous with Guam. Guam is the Southern Marianna Islands
that this is where Saipan is. This is where Tinian
is where hundreds of millions of US dollars are going
in to build up DoD infrastructure. And the governor of
that place, common Wealth and Northern Mariana Islands, Sienami, two

(25:27):
days ago, died suddenly. He was an American hero. He
has been fighting ever since he came into office to
try to clean up the Commonwealth and ner the Marianna
Islands and to try.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
To close down things.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
You're not going to believe this, but Chinese can arrive
without a visa in the United States of America, in
the Commonwealth and Nerther the Mariana Islands. There are people
in Congress right now pushing, including the representative from the
comme Wealth of Nerther Marianne Islands, pushing to keep open access,
visa free access for Chinese into the United States through
the Comwealthy near the Marianne Islands and through there they're going.

(26:03):
They have been found in the hundreds illegally going to Guam.
Some have been found on the US military basis the
women that ran the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in the
Coomwealth near the Marianne Islands was convicted of selling US
driver's licenses to Chinese. There's the big thing was there's
a casino, Chinese casino operating in Sidepan that in the

(26:25):
first few months it opened in November twenty fifteen, the
bets were totaling five point three billion across fewer than
twenty tables. In the first half of twenty seventeen, table
for table, they were running six times more money than
the biggest casinos in Macau. And on the board of
that casino operation.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
You hold hold it, just hang on, hang on.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
But just put it in perspective.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
The Macau casinos, dwarf Las Vegas, this dwarf stuff in
the United States. Macau and this casino are like the
mac Daddy's, are they not, ma'am?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (26:58):
And this is the United States. This is running billions
of Chinese dollars or money directly into the US financial
system through this casino.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
What like, what do you say about that? She's obviously
not a nut like, she's obviously just breaking it all down.
So did I hear right?

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I want to make it. Did I hear that you
could just land in Saipan and then you can just
fly to the United States without a visa or anything. What?
What the heck is this? I mean, are we supposed

(27:45):
to secure our border? Does that count as a border?
I think that would count as a border, don't you think.
I mean, this is holy cow? Like you think about
all that territory, Like you know how far way that
territory is from where we are right now. It is
super far away from where we are right now, Like

(28:07):
super duper far away from where we live. Like you're
talking like a twenty four hours plus some other time
to fly over there. It's like three grand to fly
over there. Oh my gosh. The Northern Mariana Islands, officially
the Commonwealth of the Northern Northern Mariana Islands, is an

(28:31):
unincorporated territory and Commonwealth of the United States consisting of
fourteen islands in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, including the Marianna Archapelago.
Guam is a separate US territory. The Northern Mariana Islands
are listed by the United Nations as a non self

(28:53):
governing territory. Know this all came to pass because of
you know, World War two and all that sort of stuff,
and and so you've got so this is just an
easy entrance point coming in from from from China, and

(29:13):
everybody's just like, okay, no problem, don't worry about what
she was selling licenses. That woman was selling licensed driver's
licenses to people who were interested in coming into the
United States from China. And the governor of the of
the of the place we were talking about, he died.
He just died, and he was fighting against all this stuff.

(29:36):
Nothing to see here, absolutely nothing to see here. He

(30:00):
eleven nine to three WBT. I'm actually surprised. I'm really
stunned that that we allow all that stuff that's going
on that we were just talking about in that last hour,
The idea of the Chinese nationals being able to just
come into the United States, not getting vetted, not getting
looked at, none of that sort of stuff is happening.

(30:21):
To me. It's amazing to me, it is amazing. And
I do not understand why people just to allow bad
things like this to happen. And I know it's it's
it's an obvious statement, it's an obvious question. But let
me give you a side by side analysis here. Okay,
so I just told I told you that story from

(30:42):
Cleo Pascal. She's a she's a very serious reporter. She's
with the Foundation for the Defensive Democracy, so she's she
works with my good friend Bill Raggio whenever we talk
about terrorism stories. So she's not This is not like
a kooki person. This is a person that understands that
there's a lot of weird stuff that's going on out
in the Northern Marianas. So I'm going to bring it

(31:07):
a little closer to home, Okay, And this is gonna
be cut number five. This is Larry Kudlow talking about
the wins that President Trump has racked up. This is
cut number five.

Speaker 9 (31:17):
Go all right, folks, Trump ten, Deep State experts zero.
And that's the subject of the riff. As we hit
the six month mark in President Trump's second term, his
list of accomplishments is breathtaking. He's blown up the deep state,
He's proven the so called experts completely wrong, he has
kept his promises. His list of achievements almost endless. And

(31:41):
I want to give a hat tip to my friend
Victor Davis Hanson, who has reminded us that not only
is the southern border closed, and illegal immigration essentially dried up.
But you didn't need a Joe Biden comprehensive immigration reform
bill to do it.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
That is an important point right there, because that's what
Biden and company were running around and yelling about. They
were running around and they were yelling about the idea of, well,
we have to have comprehensive to get the border secured. No,
the border was secured in twenty seventeen, and then the
border was unsecured by Joe Biden because Joe Biden or

(32:22):
Hunter Biden or somebody else in the administration was on
the take. They were getting, you know, thirty bucks on
every head that came across the border. I mean, it's
got to be something as obvious as that. And I'm
not saying it's Joe Biden, and I'm not saying it's
Hunter Biden, but somebody was making money. We know, the
cartels were making money. And you think like people would

(32:42):
just be in business with the cartels for their health.
Oh yeah, you know, we're just really happy the cartels
are bringing in all these people that are gonna work
for us. It's gonna be awesome. They'll they're they're just
smuggling the people whose jobs they don't want to do,
you know, all that sort of stuff. So that's that's
a self inflicted wound, like the breaking of the border

(33:05):
was a self inflicted wound, like the criminality on the streets,
the riots in twenty twenty, self inflicted moves, COVID, self
inflicted damages. Right, So let me look at something here
for a second, because I think this is a very
important point. Who else has damaged you as an American

(33:28):
citizen and me as an American citizen. This is cut
number two. This is Philip Patrick, and he says something
that you're not supposed to say out loud, but he
understands exactly the game being played. Cut number two, please go.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, we've seen the
middle class of America essentially disappear. They've also been a
terrible steward of dollar value.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Right.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
The fed's official inflation targets two percent, the long term
average has been four per Meanwhile, the FED owns about
fifteen percent of all government debt. I'm not sure we
need a FED if we have intrinsically valuable sound money.
At that point, the need for a central bank or
a federal reserve starts to disappear. But again they have

(34:17):
been very, very very poor at their job since inception.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
So that's Philip Patrick. There's another guy called David Malpass.
David Malpass, super smart guy, really smart guy, can give
it to you straight and you can believe what he's saying.
He is somebody that's a very important advisor to a
number of different folks. And so this is David Malpass

(34:44):
on the FED and how the FED is hurting. You
cut three of the government.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
And so they grow just like everything else in the government,
and that means costs over runs on buildings. I thought
Trump was great yesterday in talking about the specifics of
the buildings. You know, he's a superstar on construction. He's
also made the point that he knows lots about interest rates,
which I think both points are right. I was with

(35:11):
him in twenty sixteen. I don't know if you were
there at the Grand Hyatt in New York, where he
explained to the crowd how he had built each girder
within this huge successful hotel at the center of Grand
Central and so Grand Central Station the main train station
in New York City. So Trump has built things he

(35:33):
knows what the costs are. He pointed out yesterday that
the renovation of the post office, which I'm very familiar with.
My kids would go to it. It was a mess.
He came in, took it down to the steel and
rebuilt it for two hundred and fifty million dollars. So
it's not just a small cost overrun by the FED.
It's huge. But this goes into every part of the FED.

(35:56):
So one of the things I've been trying to do
in talking about the FED is bring to people the
magnitude of change that needs to be done in each
part of their systems. Their models have been wrong for decades,
and they give you the wrong answers and they deny it.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
So yesterday you saw, maybe either in real time or
the clips of it from last night, you saw President
Trump walking around the FED building that is getting built,
and you saw Jerome Powell walking with him. One of
the most profound pieces of advice that I ever received

(36:37):
from a person when I was living in New York
was this, if you're going to wear a hat, Okay,
if you're going to wear a hat, just understand that
hats don't look good on short people. Tall people can
wear hats short people. It makes you look shorter. And

(37:00):
so I found that to be a very interesting thing.
So Donald Trump is what six foot two six three
sixty four, and so he's got a hat on yesterday,
he's got the hard hat on his head, and right
next to him is this little, tiny, diminutive man in
Jerome Powell, wearing a hard hat on his head. And
Donald Trump carries a hard hat very well. He's tall,

(37:23):
he's big. He looks like a guy who's in charge.
You look at Jerome Powell and I think Jerome Powell
maybe goes five foot seven, five foot eight, five foot nine, maybe,
I don't know. And he's got a hat on, and
Donald Trump is eviscerating him in real time. He's eviscerating.
He's like, look at this, this is three billion dollars.
And Jerome Powell can only stand there with his glasses

(37:46):
on and his hat and his skinny body, and all
he can do is shake his head. He doesn't even
say anything to Trump. He just goes mm. And Trump's like,
look at this, this is three trillion dollars. I thought
it was like three point five, you know whatever. He's
throwing all these numbers at him, and who looks like

(38:09):
the silly person. Trump looks like a guy who's a
a guy who's in charge of a project, and the
guy who's in charge of the FED looks like he's lost,
looks like he's lost. And then he says, well, no,
that's for that other building that was built in twenty fifteen.

(38:32):
Jerome Powell didn't understand that he was the butt of
the joke and that nobody takes you seriously because you
don't crack the whip. And when you crack the whip,
he cracked the whip against the United States. You don't
you don't cut the rates. What is the most important
thing that Trump said in that back and forth yesterday?
He said, he said, I don't I don't want one

(38:54):
I don't want one percent cut. I want three percent cut.
I want a three four percent cut. Why does Donald
Trump argue for cutting the rates. It's not about you
going out and buying a house or you going out
and financing a car. Those are byproducts of that, and
that's very possible that will happen. It's that if you
cut the rate three four, five, six points, whatever it is,

(39:18):
it means we owe less money to the debtor nations.
We don't have to pay the heavy big they are
going to be on the other side of it. And
that's what people don't understand, and I think, to me,
it makes total sense. There's no reason America should have
to apologize to the rest of the world for being smart, prosperous,

(39:42):
or strong. And unfortunately, there's a lot of people in
this country who are embarrassed by a country, the United
States of America, that is prosperous, secure, and strong. That
is something that should never be an embarrassment. What should
be an embarrassment is a drooling guy who's got mashed

(40:08):
potatoes for brains, and people sit there and go, He's
totally good. It's totally fine. Don't worry about it. Yours

(40:30):
talk eleven ten, not inn I'm three WBT. It's the
Brettwater Bowl Show. Good to be with you, seven oh
four or five, seven oh eleven ten. As we soldier
on looking at a bunch of other stories that are
out there moving, okay, so let me uh, let me
let me try this thing out on the area. Okay.
I'm somebody who believes that we should be able to
defend ourselves. The United States of America needs to be

(40:50):
the strongest that we can possibly be, and I have
I have no doubt about that at all. But for
some reason, for some reason, why is it that our
military decides to shut down projects that work very effectively?
So what are we thinking about? In this case? I'll

(41:11):
give it to you right here. Are we about to
lose the massive ordinance penetrator, you know, the MOP, the
MOP huge thing, important thing. These are the bombs that
come off of those planes that look like peregrine falcons.
You ever seen a peregrine falcon? You know, Peregrine falcons
are unbelievable. They can come at you at two hundred

(41:35):
and sixty miles an hour peregrine falcon. They are unbelievably fast.
In fact, if you look at the aircraft that exist
that we use for some of the stealth stuff, you
see how close they look to a peregrine falcon. Peregrine

(41:55):
falcons are incredible. The Air Force just announced an early
retirement of the B two bomber by twenty thirty. This
is the second time that this has happened. This budget
driven decision means that a new B twenty one must
replace and not be additive to much of the existing

(42:17):
bomber fleet. The Air Force had previously planned to operate
the B one and the B fifty two until twenty forty,
and the B two to twenty fifty eight. In addition,
the Air Force has almost zero B two modernization. This

(42:39):
may eliminate the US ability to deliver the massive ordnance penetrator,
the GBU fifty seven or the GBU fifty seven B
or the MOP, which is by far the most effective
US conventional weapon against hard and deeply buried targets. Now

(43:02):
where did we see hard targets and deeply buried targets?
Did we see that in the last couple of weeks,
maybe a month and a half, two months, maybe never?
Now we didn't use those right, Oh no we did.
We did when we hit the Iranians. We did when
we hit the irooniance. So they want to like scrap

(43:25):
all this stuff. The B two bombers the only US
bomber cleared to deliver the MOP. It's also the only
current US bomber that can penetrate advanced air defenses. Let's
just get rid of it. At about the same time,
the Air Force accelerated the development of the next generation penetrator,

(43:50):
the NGP, which would be carried by a new B
twenty one. The NGP will be significantly lighter, no more
than twenty two pounds compared to the mop's thirty two
thirty thousand pounds, and it will be superior to the
MOP in some important aspects. It will have standoff capability,

(44:13):
which is very important against advanced air defenses, and substantially
greater accuracy. However, it is unclear that it will be
equal much less superior to the MOP in attacking and
destroying large, hard, and very deeply buried facilities such as

(44:34):
four tooh in Iran. Moreover, this weapon, the NGP, is untested,
and hence there's a technical risk concerning its capabilities and
availability date. Because of course that's what always happens. You
have systems that work. The warthog is is getting scrapped, right,

(44:57):
The warthogs are getting scrapped now. These weapons systems that
are effective. But we need new stuff. Why can't we
get the new thing? Why can't because because a lot
of the times the people who want the new thing
are the people who just want to spend a lot
of money for their own thing, not the best thing

(45:20):
for the people who are going to be fighting there. See,
this is the problem. We have to change. Why why
we still have the B fifty twos. We still have
the B fifty twos. We didn't change them. We didn't
get rid of them. Why didn't we get rid of them?

(45:40):
Because they worked and we have them and we have
other things. But no, no, it's change for change sake.
It's change for change sake. Everybody's got to change because
that's what matters in a world where you have to
get the brand new cell phone and then you find

(46:03):
out it's got bugs at it. Come on, now, use
your common sense. It's the official song for today because

(46:24):
we're at the midway point of the show. Dallaine Maxwell,
listen up. Dallaine Maxwell gave d OJ info about one
hundred different people linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Lawyer says, let
the let the record reflect. I'm talking about Epstein. Let

(46:51):
the record reflect. Notorious sex criminal Julaine Maxwell answered questions
from a Justice Department officials about one hundred different people
linked to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. An attorney for
the disgraced socialite claimed Friday, following two days of interrogation,

(47:18):
led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. David Oscar Marcus
told reporters that his client, currently serving a twenty year
sentence after being convicted in Manhattan of federal sex trafficking
and conspiracy charges in December twenty twenty one, was asked

(47:41):
about every possible thing you could imagine everything. This was
the first opportunity she's ever been given to answer questions
about what happened. Marcus added, the truth will come out
about what happened when mister Epstein, and she's the person

(48:04):
who's answering those questions now. Blanche had every single question
answered during the sit down. Maxwell's attorney also said, with
the British born convict declining to plead the Fifth Amendment,
if she lies, they can charge her with lying. Because

(48:27):
she didn't take the fifth they did charge her with lying.
A reporter challenged him, referring to two perjury counts that
Marcus noted were dropped by the Feds after her conviction.
No one is above the law, no one, no lead
is off limits, Blanche posted on x Tuesday in announcing

(48:51):
that he would speak with Maxwell. Maxwell, aged sixty three,
is appealing her conviction and sentencing and legal observers has
speculated her willingness to answer questions is tied to a
potential clemency grant by Trump. Her attorney described the commander

(49:12):
in chief on Friday as the ultimate deal maker and
claimed his client had been treated unfairly for the past
five years and didn't get a fair trial. We hope
he exercises that power in a right and just way,
Marcus said. President Trump, who's seventy nine years old, told

(49:33):
reporters after landing in Glasgow, Scotland, that I don't know
anything about the conversation between Blanche and Maxwell because I
haven't really been following it. This is no time to
be talking about pardons, the President added, after saying hours
earlier while leaving the White House that I haven't thought

(49:55):
about the idea. In twenty twenty two, the Department of
Justice expressed doubts that Maxwell could be truthful, writing in
court filings that she displayed a significant pattern of dishonest
conduct and failed to take responsibility for her heinous crimes.

(50:18):
Court papers the prior rule of the prior year revealed
that prosecutors never seriously entertained the prospect of offering the
woman dubbed Epstein's madam a plea agreement after the financier
was found dead in his mount and his Manhattan jail
cell while awaiting his own federal trial on August tenth,

(50:40):
twenty nineteen. According to Marcus, Ebstein's attorneys have been informed
that no potential co conspirators would be prosecuted as part
of his talks with government lawyers following his July twenty
nineteen arrest on sex trafficking charges. I don't think that

(51:01):
President Trump knows that the Department of Justice took the
position that that promise should not be upheld. In February,
Attorney General Pambondi teased a full disclosure of federal investigatory
files on Epstein during a Fox News interview, including a

(51:25):
purported client list of high powered associates, but no such
reveal came. Now, wait a minute, if you were asking
or asked a hundred different questions about one hundred different
clients or people that were involved, because you know the

(51:48):
beginning of this article, they say clearly that they asked
and they got information on one hundred different people that
could be the client list. That client list could now
have maybe come into existence if there was never a
client list before. I mean, I'm just I'm just supposing here,

(52:10):
I don't know. On July sixth, the DOJ and FBI
put out a two page memo. This is what got
everybody very very upset and saying that there was no list.
There was pornography, but there was no list. Well, this
may have been the list that got cobbled together here.

(52:36):
So this is the uh, the storyline that that we're
looking at, and we'll see what happens with the rest
of the investigation. There's a lot of people grousing, saying
there's no there's no point to doing this, there's no
reason to do this. This shouldn't be doing this. Who knows?
Who knows? That's just something out of the Jensen playlist

(53:07):
seven four, five, seven eleven ten, News Talk eleven ten,
not a nine to three WBT. It's the Brett wintererble Show.
There we go. What did I get? I got? I
got a message here wait, wait, hold on, I got
a message. Who compiled the Epstein files. I don't know
who compiled the Epstein files. I just know that these
these one hundred people were asked about by by Todd

(53:29):
Blanche So I don't know. I don't know what that
list is. They talk about the list, but I don't
know who the list is. This is the kind of
stuff that we have to kind of look at and
try to figure out how this works. I mean, it's uh,
it is is something kind of interesting, you know. The
Mam Donnie, the guy who's running for the mayoralty in

(53:52):
New York City, starting to get some incoming, starting to
get some incoming. Mam Donnie faces brutal criticism from his
own party. Quote, you've got to condemn that Democratic Governor
Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, somebody who I think will be
a serious contender to be the president of the United

(54:13):
States when it comes to twenty twenty eight, went after
the New York City mayoral candidate Zorran Mamdani on Wednesday
for not condemning radical rhetoric that he described as blatantly
anti Semitic. I'll say this about Mamdani or any other leader,

(54:35):
Shapiro reportedly said during an interview with The Jewish Insider,
if you want to lead New York, you want to
lead Pennsylvania, you want to lead the United States of America.
You're a leader. I don't care if you're a Republican
or a Democrat leader or a Democratic socialist leader. He said,
you have to speak and act with moral clarity. And

(54:58):
when supporters of yours say things that are blatantly anti Semitic,
you can't leave room for that to just sit there.
You've got to condemn that, meaning the whole idea of
the what is it internationalized the Intifada? Right, that's that's
that was the thing that got him. And then he
would not condemn that, that that commentary that is going

(55:23):
out there with his supporters. Shapiro added, he seemed to
run a campaign that excited New Yorkers, he also seemed
to run a campaign where he left open too much
space for extremists to either use his words or for
him to not condemn the words of extremists that said

(55:43):
some blatantly anti Semitic things. Well, there's a ton of
that stuff going on in New York. There are people
in the streets that are i mean just openly radical.
Just go to go to Columbia and in fact, they
they got fined massively. They they got it. I mean
they they they they absolutely they took him down big time.

(56:07):
Somebody somebody just said, I'm not allowed to play Ramstein.
I didn't. I didn't know that. That's kind of interesting, right,
I mean, you look at that and you just say
you can't play Ramstein. Well, we just did because it's
got it's got a it's got a jumpy tune right there.
Mamdanni compared the phrase to a desperate desire for equality

(56:32):
and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights
during a an interview last month. Well, I think I
think it's okay to to stand up for people's human rights.
I mean human rights are human rights right to the
question of language, I am someone I would say this
is continuing to be the conversation with Shapiro. I would

(56:56):
say I am less comfortable with the idea of banning
and using certain words, and that I think it is
more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to
lead a country, he said, before the host cut him off.
That's Maumdami saying this to again. If radical phrasing like

(57:19):
globalized the Dafada made him uncomfortable, Mamdani replied, I know
people for whom those things mean very different things. As
a Muslim man who grew up post nine to eleven,
I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic
words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used

(57:42):
to justify any kind of meaning. Well, hold on a second.
There there is there is a a an effort that's
been made since nine to eleven to say, well, no,
that doesn't really mean geha doesn't really mean that, or
or you know, child brides don't really mean that, and

(58:09):
things like that. They're there're those There's been a lot
of back and forth on that where where the the
left and specifically the the leftists who are radicalized or
are radical will say, now, that's not what that means. Well,
if you're gonna go and you're gonna read the Koran, right,
you have to take it at what it says. What's

(58:31):
how do you interpret it? Otherwise it's words, you're reading it.
It's words. And if they're saying, you know, you do this,
you do that, You're not allowed to do this, You're
not allowed to do that. Now, that's that's a problem.
That's that's problem that that's a problem with who is
going to be the authority that says, yo, no, we
we we do that. Look, there are things, there are

(58:52):
things that are said, and and you you hear it,
and I've heard it, and then they try to say, well, no,
that's not what that means. Well, then what does it mean?
Like give us the book and then show us in
the book that that gha doesn't mean jihad or anything else.

(59:13):
Because the only thing you can go by is what
the what the folks are saying, and what the folks
are reading and what folks are publishing. I mean, yeah,
you have to. You have to look at it that way.
I mean I can't. I can't imagine that. You know,
you say, you know, you say, you say one thing,

(59:34):
but no, that really means the other thing. Well, how
are we supposed to understand what that code is?

Speaker 7 (59:39):
Then?

Speaker 1 (59:39):
How do we learn all that? How do we push
that out? I mean, I don't, I don't know. These
are the challenges that exist, right, These are the challenges
that exist, and now we have to, like, you know,
sit back and take a look at things. Pentagon Secretary
Pete Heseth freezes all participation in DC think tank events,
citing concerns over America last groups promoting globalism and hatred

(01:00:04):
for President Trump. Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson confirmed no
Defense Department officials will attend events that don't advance the
Trump agenda, ending decades of military engagement with civilian national
security forms. Well, what does that mean? We'll try to

(01:00:26):
figure that out and break it down for you. Straight ahead,
We've got another great out. Everything is fair, game, questions, comments.

Speaker 10 (01:00:33):
Concerns, Talk, eleven nine three WBT.

Speaker 7 (01:01:09):
To the South.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
It's a third hour Brett Winter will show Friday. No
place I'd rather be than right here, ladies and gentlemen,
opening up this hour and let me reach out across
the divide from the East coast to the West coast,
out to Yankee Joe, who wants to check in with us.

(01:01:57):
Yankee Joe, Welcome to the show. What's on your mind?
What are you thinking about today?

Speaker 8 (01:02:00):
I mean, you had be pumped up with ac DC,
But listen, I got a few things, and I'm gonna
take you around the world on a few things. First
of all, I think next four points one thing is
good thing. Colonel Stu Shaller is back in the military
and Lieutenant Colonel A. Loheimer, which were unjustly kicked out
of the military for their abuse if you remember about that,
the Marine Corps colonel and I think as far as

(01:02:22):
that kind of leads into the acquisitions process as far
as you're talking about the b too, and presently we
have an issue with you know, as far as how
do these things don't even matter? Well, I think with
the with and I don't think, well, the firearm that
the military has is made by sig Saw sidearm, which
you see the guys. You know, it's on North Carolina,
So you guys are are very familiar with the gate

(01:02:45):
guard having a sidearm, and we see a lot of
them with Siga. So recently we just had an Air
Force airman just the weapon actually discharged and actually killed them,
and it was it wasn't the best firearm to have,
and I think and the Navy's argument for it a
lot of times they're not having the other firearm is

(01:03:06):
because you know, I'm not going to make names out there,
but it's a very popular one and we all see
on TV shows. The thing is those that because you
have to pull the trigger and for safety. But the
point is is that it wasn't the best weapon and
the other companies weren't allowed the opportunity to change the weapon.
When you've issued something, it's not supposed to be changing.
Just what you have is what you have. So hopefully
we have guys and guys are two more senior guys,

(01:03:27):
not so so senior stars on their shows, but senior
guys are not actually actually understand the acquisitions leadership processes
that that hopefully at the B two does not go away.
And we've seen it, you know, I mean with the
A ten as well, which they are locally here in
San Diego. We had he's not a congressman anymore, Duncan
Hunter Jeria was a big you know, advocate for the

(01:03:47):
A ten and we're now obviously he's gone and a
lot of other people are gone, and it's a very
effective weapon that we had.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Now now now let me let me let me interject
for here a quick second because what I'm going in
terms of the little bit not not pushback but response
because as I mentioned, the war Hog, we had a
commentator saying that the F the F sixteen Viper and
the FA eighteen Hornet can do the job that the
war Hog can do as well, so that it shouldn't

(01:04:18):
be a big deal.

Speaker 8 (01:04:19):
Well, my aviation geeks out there and people in my
avation family out there, you know that the war hog
can loiter a lot longer than a fighter can wader
meanings that the aircraft can stay on station, doesn't require
a lot of fuel to do to do the mission.
And that was if you look at the engines, so
TF thirty fours that the E ten has doesn't require
a lot of fuel. You can drop the flaps, retard

(01:04:41):
the engines. Retard the engines meanings by pull the engines
back sure and let the aircraft pretty much help not hover,
but it can actually stay and quite a long longer
when the guys on the ground need it. It can
actually doesn't have to run back fuel. I mean all
aircraft fuel. We all know that. But it's a lot better.
And the gun is just impressive. It's just I mean,
it's just something that you can't and there's made the

(01:05:04):
aircraft are made around the gun. And I think that
you know, hopefully that cooler heads and prevailed and things.
That's where we need some gray haired guys out there
that can actually advocate for that, because you know, the
A can it just looks it's pretty clear it's going
to go away. But as far as the B two,
let's make sure that this thing, I mean can work,

(01:05:25):
because you sti't want to find out and this thing
doesn't work and the things that it is just to
bring it back out of life, it's a whole different
process or that. So yeah, I just don't want to
get too deep. I don't want to go to it
like butting out books and so guy talking about and
other head No, I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
Was going to say, I know that. Look, and it
all remains to be seen how this is all going
to shake out anyways, right.

Speaker 8 (01:05:48):
But yeah. But the thing is though that you know,
let's not kid ourselves. And it's kind of a Pasha
virtual thing I will say is that don't you think
I have friends out there? And there's some programs that
we have out there. I spent a lot of money
on and I was very familiar with them that they
don't work. And there's guys out there, you know, when
you get up certain positions, you go into it. You
go into me not acquisitions, but you go some dettlse.

(01:06:10):
We have buddies that can improve things for you, right,
and guys that you know and that you're like you have.
I mean, let's not kill ourselves. You do have friends,
and whether it's ethical or not, you do have friends.
And there used to be the rules you're supposed to
have to wait like twelve or eighteen months before you
get out of uniform to go back in the business again,
so you can kind of separate yourself a little bit.
But the thing is that a people who have helped

(01:06:30):
each other out, and that's what happens, you have a
shelf life about five years to break.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Really, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I get it. I
get that. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 8 (01:06:37):
And and what do you call on a cultural note,
as far as I don't want to bring back you know,
black chared you at this, but as far as and
if you don't mind me talking about whole Kogan, a
whole Coogan, as far as you know, I can't emphasize
enough how much it meant to it, you know, being
as we were a kid at that time, that a
much you meant to America. And I think that is

(01:06:58):
your culture, is who you are. Sure it's not set
for ourselves, so you know from the stuff we put
on TV, but you know, we see a lot of
things happening right now. Is and as for us, he
was always good to my mom. I'm just to be
honest and I'm not trying to be funny and stuff
like that, but he's always good to my mom. He
always you know, looked out, you know, kind of. I
didn't know him like that. My mom knew him like
you do past because of Eastern airlines.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you, I got you.

Speaker 8 (01:07:22):
But but it was just a good guy and ultimately,
no matter what, And I just to put that out there,
Yeah I am you know, I do have brown skin
or black leven you want to call me a black coistmantic.
But the point is is is that you know, regardless
that he's a human being. And the thing is he
meant a lot to me, and and and you know
before TMZ and all, he's always a good guy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
A really good guy.

Speaker 8 (01:07:41):
He didn't have to be, and he was always a
handshaker and just gave gave a come of day which
he didn't have to because man was a bit, you know,
three hundred days out of out of a year on
the road.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
That's true. That is that is true. But and obviously, look,
you don't measure an entire lifetime by errors and and
and and slip ups and obviously you know, obnoxious behavior
or things like that. So I'm right there with you
one hundred percent. And yes, as a father.

Speaker 8 (01:08:09):
Ain't no man on the planet good enough for your daughter.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Of course not. Yeah, yeah, that's the truth. Yeah, no, no,
that's true. That's true. I'll have a comment on that
in a minute. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 (01:08:20):
Your daughter can stay at home forever, you can stay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Yes, that's true. Yeah, Well keep listening.

Speaker 8 (01:08:27):
Always love I always love that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
I appreciate it. I appreciate you calling it. Man. Thank
you very much. Uh, Yankee Joe. It's always a pleasure
to talk to you, my friend. All right, you got it.
That's Yankee Joe. I mean that's a lot of Look,
there's a lot of stuff there. There's a lot of
stuff you can unpack. And this is this is why
I like talk radio because we can we can look
at different angles on things. And you know, if you

(01:08:54):
if you're if you're better than fifty percent in your life,
if you're better than I mean, that's a blessing. A
lot of people make a lot of mistakes, decisions, bad decisions,
awful decisions, and you just hope that you can kind
of climb back from that. And that's what you want to,
you know, try to do. If you wake up the

(01:09:16):
next day and you are improving, then I think that's good.
You know, and we don't know what the measure is.
We don't know when we will meet our maker, We
don't know any of that sort of stuff. But the
idea of measuring people on a bad day or something
stupid or under the influence or any of the stuff

(01:09:36):
like that, you know, it's it's not one and done.
I think what it has to be is you have
to look at people across the whole spectrum, no matter
who they are. A person that's working in a restaurant,
a person that's running a company, a person that's doing
you know this, that or the other thing. I think
I think it has to be a quantitative sort of

(01:09:57):
analysis to see how people uh succeed in transit. Uh
this this new uh New.

Speaker 11 (01:10:04):
World's News Talk eleven ten, nine three w BT Brent
Waterboll Show, seven O four five seven eleven ten.

personal privilege here for one second. So I got I
got uh, I got news. I got news like uh
ten days ago, and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna

babies in your arms for the first time and you
go Oh my gosh, what am I gonna do? I

Speaker 6 (01:13:55):
Stan.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
Welcome to the program. Stan.

Speaker 5 (01:13:57):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
I'm doing great. Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
Graduation and your daughter, thank you very much. Yeah, Okay,
Now I understand what we're talking about Epstein and all
that stuff. But there's something that came out News Life yesterday.
But I think Trump said, and that is that mccron,
French president, came out and said that he was going
to recognize Palestine as a country.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Now, yes, sir, and.

Speaker 5 (01:14:25):
Yahoo wasn't too impressive that, Yeah, who came out and
said basically, they don't seek to live alongside Israel in peace,
They seek to replace Israel. Is this kind it? Either?
What he just rewarded Hams for October seventh? More of it?

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Mmmm?

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
So why what these people have voting power on the
Human Security Council?

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
They do?

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
And if they can get enough countries, I mean, he
says he wants peace.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
It's nothing, okay, so let me ask so, let me
ask you. Let me ask you this. Okay, this is
a very important point that you're raising. Number one. Number one. Uh.
I think France is the seventh biggest economy in the world.
I think I can't. I saw that number a couple
of days ago. So they are think about what think

(01:15:20):
about what France is? Okay, France is like a massive
trading partner for the United States. France is a I believe,
I believe, I'm not wrong. They are a nuclear power.
I believe France has atomic capacity or once upon a
time did. Okay, So they they are a serious, big country.

(01:15:43):
And look, we owe them a debt of gratitude for
coming in and helping us take take on the Brits, right,
I mean that was an important thing to do. But
but there's no The thing is, there's no what's the
territory going to be?

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
If you look at the way the territory is ructured
what they call the West Bank, right, they always talk
about the West Bank and Gaza like you still have
a war that's happening and has been happening for basically
seventy five years, eighty years, So you have to have

(01:16:20):
peace first. You have to have peace first, you have
to have you have to have all that sort of stuff.
And at the same time, if they want peace, if
sitting aside France, I mean, France has a million failures
across Africa and the world that left people in incredible

(01:16:43):
poverty and chaos. Okay, Burkina Fasso was once part of France.
So when you look at all that kind of stuff,
who are they to say that they're going to do that.
They were making fun of Donald Trump when he said
that they wanted to to develop that area and let
the people have a have a better life. But nobody

(01:17:03):
wants to do it. But Egypt's not doing it. Egypt.
Egypt doesn't recognize them as the as territory. I mean,
I don't understand it myself. You you you got me
going big here, man, I and I and I and
I know, I mean, it's just one of those things.

Speaker 5 (01:17:17):
But holy cow, you're right, yeah, it's just this is
there's gonna be uh, there's gonna there's gonna be a
bigger war over there because of that that if that
ever really happens, it's not it's not gonna come in
his decades. You think France would learn from their fingers,
but I guess they don't.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Okay, okay, right, okay, So like let's think about this
for a second. You you you you live, and you
live someplace. I live someplace, right, so and so you
live someplace. And one of the things that you kind
of do is when you're when you're deciding where you
want to live, you kind of scout out the neighborhood
and you're like, okay, does this does this kind of
place that I want to live? Do I want to

(01:17:52):
be over here? Why do I you know, why do
I want to live in this particular place? Almost nobody
says I want to go live in a place that's
really agerous. Nobody. Almost nobody says I want to go
to a place that where I can get killed. This
is this is a terrible thing. Now, over a period
of time, you might get you might get a situation

(01:18:13):
where you can say, Okay, look, they've cleaned up the neighborhood.
The neighborhoods all cleaned up. It's all really good now,
and we can go and live there now, and our
kids can go and play, and that's really awesome. And
isn't it wonderful to see? But I don't know who's
gonna come in, Who's going to come in and be
the superstructure to guarantee that the Hamas and the and
the and the West Bank and all that kind of
stuff is gonna is gonna play ball. Jordan doesn't want

(01:18:34):
to help. Jordan doesn't want to help. I mean, these
are neighbors that should and.

Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
If somebody outside of the region does it, that's coming
at worse.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Well, isn't that imperialism? Yes, I mean, aren't we trying
to unwind a whole lot of that stuff instead of
the other stuff? And what what the heck are we doing?

Speaker 8 (01:18:55):
So I'm not.

Speaker 5 (01:18:56):
Kidding why he did.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
He's you know what he is. You know, here's here's
what this guy is. Okay, And with all due respect
to all the people out there who are listening, McCrone
is a dollar store version of John Carry. Yes, that's

(01:19:21):
I mean, it's he's that guy who comes walking over
and you're like, oh no, no, don't talk to me,
I don't want to talk to you. I mean, that's
that's you know, that's who he is, you know, I mean,
golly gee, all right, all right, Stan you you you,
you delivered a great call today and I appreciate you.
You got it, you got it absolutely all right, news,

(01:19:45):
I'm three WBT here. Here's here's something because I know
I'm gonna get I gotta get an update here very quickly.
But I want to know something. I'm gonna do a
little experiment. Okay, here's the experiment. You have the opportunity
to call and tell me how hot it is where
you are, and I'll take like five calls. I want
to know who's the hottest, not not like a hot person,

(01:20:06):
but who's the hottest out there?

Speaker 6 (01:20:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
I'm just trying to keep you guys cool.

Speaker 9 (01:20:44):
That very nice cat mar away way.

Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
You know, you're something vision you look like you all right.
Somebody just called in and told me that they had
it's one hundred and twenty three degrees in their car.
You can't measure it that way. That is not that
doesn't work. I mean, I understand it is one hundred
and twenty three degrees in your car, but that's because

(01:21:17):
your car has been sitting outside for like seven hours
and it's gotten hotter and hotter and hotter, and I
don't you know, I just I just sit there and
I go, Wow, this is really this is unbelievable. I've
lived in places where the pavement has buckled when it
gets that hot, like the actual it gets that hot.

(01:21:38):
And I've told I've told a couple of stories about
living in New York and it was the worst, the
worst thing that ever happened to me in New York City.
I was I was a single man, and I was
working my butt off, and I worked for a company
that did not pay me very very much. This is
way before rush. And so I was standing at the

(01:22:02):
corner of Eighth Avenue and forty third or forty fourth
Street in New York City, and I was waiting across
the street. I was trying to get back to my office,
and I'm wearing I'm in a suit and a tie
and you know everything that I you know, you're supposed
to be wearing. And so I'm getting ready to cross

(01:22:24):
the street across the boulevard and a garbage truck pulls
up right in front of me, like a garbage like
a filthy, disgusting, stinking garbage truck. And it's about three
point thirty in the afternoon, and it's about one hundred degrees.
At least it felt like it was one hundred degrees.
It was probably like ninety four. And the garbage truck

(01:22:48):
stops short, and there's a taxi that was in front
of him. The garbage truck stops short. I'm at the
back end of where the garbage truck is and I
got ick on my suit and it got on my shirt.

(01:23:10):
I got I got like whatever that is, I don't
know what that you call it. It's like detritus, it's
but you know, like how bad a garbage truck smells
when it's really hot outside. That the truck was driving
and he stopped short, and it just went on my
on my on my suit, on my shirt, and it immediately,

(01:23:33):
I swear to you, immediately, I I didn't know what
to do, because how am I supposed to go back
to the office smelling of ick? I mean ick smell.
You've got to burn the clothes and take a back.
I thought, listen, let me tell you. I thought about

(01:23:54):
taking my jacket off and throwing it in the back
of the garbage truck. But I kept it. I kept
it on me. I kept it on me, okay, And
I didn't take the I didn't take the jacket off.
It was a souit jacket, and I just I kept
going to the office. And the shame of this was

(01:24:19):
as I'm walking to the office, you know, I'm like, Okay,
it's not looking so bad now, it's not so bad. Okay,
my ties kind of messed up. I'm gonna have to
get rid of get rid of that. The shirts shot,
uh and and the jacket is you know, and I
could smell it. It's like I can smell it, but
I feel like if this thing should be drying, like

(01:24:40):
it should be drying. Well. It turns out what happened
was when the truck stopped short, it splashed me right
and I and I did an instant turn like away
from it, and it put a whole line of ick
on the back of my that I never saw until

(01:25:02):
I walked into the office and the guy goes, what's
on your what's on your jacket? And I go, oh, yeah,
it was like a I got I got something on it.
It was a war crime that it was. It was.
It was so bad. It was so it was so
it was so bad and and I to be honest,

(01:25:26):
it was it was like my nicest suit and it
took me away. It took me a while to to
to scrounge. I just imagine and get that thing put
put back, to get another suit. I just imagine you
walking into a droleinger with that. No you can't. I
couldn't do it. Oh my gosh. If I went in there,
if I went in there with with that thing, what

(01:25:47):
you call a war crime. If I went if I
went into it to go get it handled, I mean it,
they'd have been like, listen, we called the n y
p D because we think that there's DNA, and what
did you do? I mean, I just I just I
just dealt with it. We smelled you come in three blocks.
Oh my gosh. It was. It was so bad. It

(01:26:09):
was like it was like, what was it? Like? Is
it something? Okay? It was. It was. I would say
it was like dirty diaper. It was like dirty diaper
and sardines. Yeah, it's like that's kind of what it's smell. Yeah,
like yeah like that. Yeah. It was. It was not good.

(01:26:30):
It was. That was a terrible thing. Which so but
now I'm I learned a lesson. What you learn. Anytime
the garbage truck is coming, I stay either in my
house or I take ten steps back from whatever is
about to happen. You know you can't, you can you
can't trick me. You can't trick me. Started wearing a
