Speaker 1 (00:27):
It is the most exciting day of the year. I mean,
my gosh, come on, you know you're setting up, you
know you're planning it, you know what you got, You're
ready or not. That's how it is, ladies and gentlemen.
By the way, I'm Brett Wittable. It's great to be
with you. What O seven point nine FMWBT Charlotte's FM
News Talk. And this is basically an open kind of

(00:50):
conversation that we can have because it's the last day
of the year, and I know a lot of people
are very much in the politicking that's going on here.
That's very important. There's a lot of people who are
concerned about the culture. That's also a very important topic. Faith, whatever,
this sort of stuff, this time, place and intention, I

(01:16):
think is going to be something that we have not expected,
because I want to start talking about possibilities, possibilities. Over
the course of the year, you see horrific storylines, you

(01:39):
see horrific criminality, murder, rape, etc. All that kind of stuff.
But what's interesting to me is when we get into
the Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's compressed period of time,

(02:01):
the press starts to kind of get slacky, they don't
really try as hard. They're going to the cocktail parties,
they're they're goofing around, they're looking for silly stories and
things like that. And in this case, we have a
great opportunity to see something that we may never have

(02:23):
seen before. And that is this I believe and I'm
gonna make this, I'm gonna project this, and I'm going
to believe this. We are in a position, ladies and gentlemen,
where we are on the brink of seeing the Iranian
government collapse, period full stop. If you look on any

(02:47):
of the social media platforms, if you look at any
of the YouTube platforms, if you look at any of
those places, you're gonna see what is not being talked
about because the press wants to talk about what kind
of cookie are you making, what kind of blah blah
are you doing? Any of that sort of stuff. And

(03:09):
the question then becomes, what are we doing to bring
about the change that delivers people from being shackled and
tortured into the light. What is America supposed to be? America?
The United States of America is a light to the world,

(03:31):
a light to the world. We are endowed with all
of the tools that we need. We have the ability
to change the direction of the big Blue Marble. Maybe
not in every specific place, but I can tell you this,

(03:52):
right now we are closer than ever before. I was
talking about this earlier this morning, Scott Hamilton, we were
talking about what's going on in Iran, and why Iran
is important is if you break Iran's back, the Mulla's backs,
not the people. We don't have to bomb the people.
We don't have to attack the people. The people are

(04:13):
already in the streets. If we have the ability to
break the Mulla's backs, everything changes in a moment period.
Why Why Number one, there is a massive group of

(04:33):
people in Iran who want to be with the United States.
These are young people who aspire to coming to this country,
to doing great things. Now you can do an ab
comparison with what's going on with walls and all those
scandals that are happening, among the faked out, insane sort

(04:58):
of deals that are happening with getting money stolen from
the United States and being sent over to Somalia. The
reality is what we're seeing is the Iranians clamoring and
calling out asking us to help them. And all we
have to do is lend our support to their cause.

(05:19):
If it was me and I walked into the White House,
or if I was it was me and I walked
into mar A Lago, I would walk right in and
I would tell the President of the United States to
give a speech declaring that Iran has been liberated, because
they required that sort of a notification to put the

(05:40):
Mullahs on notice. This is the thing that is happening.
We need to do this. Number One, we need to
pray so that that country gets free from these filthy Mullahs.
Number Two, we have to continuously talk about this. I'm
old enough to remember during the American hostage situation in

(06:04):
Iran in the late seventies, I'm old enough to remember
people putting lights and candles and things like that in
their windows as a show of solidarity after that was beginning,
hoping to bring back our hostages. We saw that happening
when Poland was taken under, and you saw the Gadansk

(06:27):
rebellion and you saw people putting candles in their windows
to support those people behind the Iron curtain. We have
to do this with the Iranians, because if we break
the Iranian regimes back, this is going to knock down

(06:47):
any number of people. You're talking about, all of the
support that goes out to try to murder innocent people.
We have the ability to do it. The Iranian regime
is a filthy, disgusting regime. The people of Iran are

(07:09):
good people and ancient people, a proud people, a smart people,
the same sort of folks that we would want to
be in our hemisphere, and but for but for the
CIA's meddling, they would have been our allies for a

(07:30):
long time. But the reality is we have to do
the hard work we must. In this last day of
this year, we must pray to free the Iranians. We
must pray for those people to come out into the
light and not in the darkness. These people do not

(07:51):
want us to come in with military power. They're willing
to do it themselves, and that is something important. So
ladies and gentlemen, as you enjoy your evening, as you
enjoy this this couple of days, pray, pray, pray that
we can liberate Iran and that they can come into

(08:12):
the light and that we can pursue peace.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Right and it is the Brett Winter Bull Show. Great
to be with you.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
One of seven point nine FMWBT Charlotte's FM News and Talk.
One of the things that I'm that I look at
this right, and I sit back and I say, okay,
all right, How how did we gain our liberation? How
did we get our freedom? How did we work so
that the United States of America would would flourish? How

(08:56):
would this happen? Why did this happen? How does this occur? Well,
it takes people with leaders leaders in leadership, right, I
can imagine, especially because we now know that we're going
to have a very important time as the clock turns,

(09:20):
we are going to be into our two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the American Experiment. And I think about
George Washington, and I wonder what George Washington would say.
I wonder what he would say to the people in

(09:41):
our country. I think it would go a little bit
like this, my fellow Americans. Two hundred and fifty years ago,
we declared that a free people, armed with courage, conviction,
and the favor of providence could build a nation unlike

(10:02):
any the world had ever seen. We risked everything because
liberty demanded everything. Today, I speak to you with urgency
from across the years and the centuries, for the dangers
confronting your republic are no longer distant. They are among you.

(10:28):
They do not wear the colors of foreign armies. They
do not march under foreign flags. They rise from within
through division, distrust, and the slow corrosion of civic virtue.
Hear me clearly. A republic cannot survive if it's people

(10:48):
forget how to be one nation. Liberty cannot endure if
truth becomes negotiable. Self government cannot function if faction becomes
more sacred than country. In my time, we fought a

(11:08):
war for independence. In your time, you must fight for unity,
not sameness of thought, but unity of purpose. For if
Americans cease to believe they share a common destiny, the
United States will cease to be united at all. I

(11:33):
warned once in my Farewell Address that the gravest threats
to your liberty would come not from kings, but from
the passions of your own hearts. That warning has not expired.
It has come due. When anger replaces reason, when suspicion

(11:58):
replaces goodwill, when citizens treat one another as enemies, the
republic trembles. And today your republic is trembling. But it's
not doomed. Not yet not. If you rise to the moment,

(12:20):
you possess tools we never imagined, knowledge, prosperity, the ability
to speak across a continent in an instant. Yet these
gifts will destroy you if you wield them without virtue.
Freedom without character becomes chaos. Power without restraint becomes tyranny.

(12:48):
Prosperity without gratitude becomes decay. So I call on you,
every citizen, to choose the harm path. Choose truth over convenience,
Choose duty over comfort, Choose country over faction. Do not

(13:14):
wait for leaders to save you. In America, the people
are the leaders. The Constitution is your compass, The Union
is your charge. The future is your responsibility. Remember Valley Forge.

(13:36):
When hunger, cold, and despair threatened to break the army,
what sustained us was not certainty of victory, but certainty
of purpose. Ask yourselves now, what are you willing to

(13:58):
sacrifice to preserve this nation? What comforts will you lay aside?
What divisions will you abandon? For if you do not act.
If cynicism replaces hope, if bitterness replaces brotherhood, then the

(14:19):
work of our generations may be undone. In a single,
careless age, But if you rise, if you reclaim the
virtues that forged this nation, then America's next two hundred
and fifty years will shine brighter than its first. The

(14:40):
world is watching, History is watching. Your children and grandchildren
are watching. Show them that they still have the power,
that the American spirit still burns, Show them that liberty

(15:05):
still has defenders. Show them that this republic, born in
defiance of tyranny, will not fall to the weakness of
its own divisions. May providence guide you, may courage strengthen you.
May the United States of America endure free, united and

(15:29):
worthy of its founding and its founding promise. That is
something that I think he would say. That is something
that I think he would aspire to, because when you
think about the strength, the importance and all of that,

(15:50):
you have to sit back and you have to say
to yourself, Okay, what am I willing to sacrifice? What
am I willing to build? What am I willing to do? Obviously,
we know that there are scandals of plenty going on
around the country. But those scandalous people who are running

(16:15):
around in all these different locations claiming that they've got
the answers the American people see through it. The American
people understand that the only way, the only way for
this republic to sustain is for us to be engaged.
And for us to be engaged, we have to believe

(16:38):
that there is a good in everybody in this country,
but there is also grand evil in this country. It's
not everything to just say I'm in, I'm on board,
I've got a flag, I've got this. No, it takes

(17:00):
work to do that. Can you imagine. Can you imagine
looking across the pond and looking at the United Kingdom
today and seeing what we could easily have become in

(17:21):
which sovereignty is not important, safety and security is not important.
People are invading their patch of earth and they're not
even brave enough to say stop, we dodged a bullet.

(17:42):
We understand what's coming. But as long as we are
still the United States of America and the scoundrels who
go on cable TV channels and abjectly lie about the
American people, well, at some day, maybe in the moment

(18:04):
of judgment, those folks will be cast away and sent
to a very warm place. But it is we, the
American people. It is you, the taxpayer, me, the taxpayer,
the people who go out with generous hearts to help
people they don't even know. Those are the people that

(18:29):
I want to work with, Those who put aside the
politics for the advancement of humanity. That is hugely important.
We should never forget our birthright and it is the

(19:06):
Bretwinterbull Show. Good to be with you now. I don't
know about you, but I know me. I am thinking
about what we're gonna do tonight and then tomorrow, and
then coming back on Monday, on Monday, on Friday. You know,
one of the things that I love about this time
of the year is number one. The weather is just

(19:28):
so wonderful. It is just amazing. You look outside, it's
a bright, sunny day, not cold, not not no kind
of drama, none of that sort of stuff. This is
a real blessing that we all get to have. I
cannot imagine what it's going to be like in New
York City tonight. We do know that the incoming mayor

(19:49):
is being sworn in like some kind of a warlord
or something. He's hiding in the bowels of the of
the of the transit system where he's being sworn in
in a secret location. I don't understand this. I always
thought that our leaders should be seen. And one of
the things that I was talking about yesterday and I

(20:11):
continue to endure this and answer these questions, was why
is this guy not going to come out and give
a speech. He should be out in the public, stand
up there on the platform, have your say, tell everybody
about how great you got all these plans. You're going
to give free stuff to everybody. Except the problem is this,
we have seen the fall of New York, the fall

(20:36):
of New York. New York will fall tonight when he
takes the reins. And it's been a good run, four
hundred and two years. Four hundred and two years goes
all the way back to sixteen twenty four when the
first folks decided they were going to land on stolen property.
And so here's the thing that is very interesting. Here's

(20:57):
the thing that's very interesting. New York York is never
going to be New York again because this guy promised
to all of these people that they were going to
get free bus rides, free dope, free needles, you name it,
all that sort of stuff. And I think tonight, as
the clock moves, I am going to I'm going to

(21:20):
feel a little bit sad. Having been a resident in
the state of New York, but specifically in New York City.
And it's a shame that it it was conquered and
now it is conquered land. See when people landed in
New York Harbor and they came aboard the land, obviously

(21:46):
they decided that they were going to to set up
a community, and they did that, no doubt about it.
Not everything was a hunky dory sort of deal. But
what you're seeing tonight, if you happen to be watching
the ball drop, you're going to see the conquest of

(22:07):
the United States of America's biggest city in New York.
There's a problem. I have a problem with that. The
problem I have with that is that is exactly the
same territory where we were attacked from overseas nine to eleven.

(22:29):
And this is a guy who is impaneling a radical
group of people, so radical that the city of New
York will never come back from this, never ever come
back from this. The only stop gap thing that's going

(22:50):
to potentially be utilizable is the President being able to say, listen, Pam,
open an investigation into Mandami. We have to figure out
what this guy's game is going to be. This is
a guy who showed up out of nowhere. Nobody knew
who this guy was, nobody knew what his plans were.

(23:10):
And as it is right now, we're finding out, and
I'm hearing this from people, we're finding out that this
guy is not able to make good on any of
these promises. Now, it can go two different ways if
you think about what's happening in that city. It can
go two ways. You can have a bunch of people

(23:31):
go out and march around and say we demand all
this sort of stuff. Or or you can see people
go into the streets and say, we're just going to
take the stuff. Since Mandami's not going to give us
the stuff, we're just going to go and take it.
But that's basically what we've had since twenty ten. You've
had a number of different mayors in the city of

(23:53):
New York who have become intransigent, incompetent, whatever you want
to say. And this is the problem because you may
not like New York. I like the concept of New York.
I think it's an exciting sort of twenty four hour
day kind of a deal. But when you look at

(24:14):
what goes on here and what has gone on here.
The city is completely different. The city of New York
is completely different, and you're going to see useful idiots
and stooges all around this guy saying he's doing a
great job. Well, I'm going to tell you this, the
honeymoon is going to be short lived because between Wall

(24:36):
Street businesses, New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, all of those
places are going to get the blowback. Should this become
a massive failure, You're going to see these people moving
into these communities saying we're not going back in there,

(24:58):
good luck, see you later. Remember what happened when Detroit
was sort of a punchline where people would say, Ah,
it's like going to Detroit. They're gonna start saying it's
like going to New York. I don't know that I
want to go there right now. This is a very
interesting statistic that I came across. If you go and

(25:22):
look at the numbers of people that JP Morgan Chase
has in New York City, there are more of them
in Dallas at the Dallas Exchange than there are in
New York City. Now, who would have thought about that,

(25:43):
Who would have said, golly, this is incredible. That's one
of the things. That's going to be a tough, tough
sort of game to play. But remember, remember the reason
why I brought all this up is that's the downside.
But that's the downside for one city, an important city,

(26:06):
a powerful city, but we have all the other territory.
There is an effort to try to get you to
believe that the country is not as it should be. Well,
go back and look at the numbers that I talked
about yesterday when it related to the spending for Christmas,

(26:28):
the spending and the travel and all that sort of stuff.
America is a vibrant place, and America is a very
strong place. The problem is you have a bunch of
wanna be strong men and women, Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom, Pritzkirt, etc.
All these weirdos running around, Democrats, every one of them,

(26:51):
and they like to do experiments on the working class,
on the people who carry the freight. At any moment,
at any moment, the American people will wake up and
they will say enough is enough. That is the beauty.
They won't go in with weaponry and knives and swords

(27:13):
and all that sort of stuff because they don't have to.
You have a large enough group of people who understand
that at some point the adults will come back in
and they will try to fix this problem. It may
take a couple of years, it may take six years,
it may take ten years. But these cities are still

(27:36):
ripe as long as you lay down the law and
you tell these folks that this is not going to
be tolerated full stop. Who does the bell toll for?

(28:10):
It tolls for thee don't forget that. Let's go out
and talk to Carl, patiently holding on Carl, welcome to
the program.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Hey, thanks Brett.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Good to talk to you, buddy, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Happy New Year. He's out of the way. Hey. I
got two cousins and each of them has a son
that lives in New York City. The one I didn't
get to see at Christmas. The one I did, but
we didn't talk a lot about it. I just heard
him talking to my son and stuff about I think
he's an artist and he has like a little studio.
We were like, how big is it and it's like

(28:43):
just as big as like his dad's living room. But
the other one works. I think he works for KKR.
He went to school for accounting and he's Cordy my cousin.
He's making a bunch of money. He's married, he's got
a kid. And I think they just have like a
either an apartment or a condo. They don't have a
house because he lives right in the city. Sure, I
think he's in Manhattan. One's in Manhattan. I think the
ones on Long Island anyway. And I asked the one

(29:05):
I saw at Christmas, did you vote for Montdamie And
he said, yeah, young liberal. You know they get swept
into that. I imagine they But I told your screener, I said,
I hope they don't. Those people don't get what they deserve.
But I'm afraid they are going to.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, look this is this is going to be. This
is a beachhead, right if we if we think about
this like D Day, Mandami is building a beach head.
And what's going to happen now is you're going to
have a whole bunch of radicals pouring in that that
city is going to be like the new San Francisco
and and and you're you're it's a most I it's

(29:43):
almost impossible to get radicals like that out out of office.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
And I have to say I have no need for
I used to say, I had no need for New
York City. I grew up five hundred miles from it
in Youngstown, Ohio. So I think, I said. I used
to say, Well, I I was a famous movie star
or a famous rock musician. Sure, I'd love to live
at Central Park West right now above the Fray and
look out at Central Park. But you still have to

(30:10):
go down in the street, and I hope it doesn't
turn into New York nineteen seventy seven before I had
caught you had to come in and clean it up
or what his name, Juliani. Let me tell you one
quick other thing. You know, I still have two of
those beer glasses from the News and Bruise in my trunk,
and I was thinking the other day. I looked at
him and I said, you know what, this is probably

(30:30):
some of the last merch printed with eleven ten WBT
on it.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
It is it is.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
I like Coutor's item, and it's sentimental to me because
I love the radio station so much. Buddy, have a
great new year.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Hey you too? Do you You got it?

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Man?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah? Carl, Carl, You're a great caller man, and I
appreciate you recognizing the importance of this radio station, and
it's really Look when you get to a place where
you're really comfortable, we've all been through this, right, and
then you get an opportunity that is so good that

(31:07):
you cannot turn it down. Not in a mafia sort
of style. Right, I'm gonna give hi an offer he
can't refuse. This is what's important, all right. I think
talking talking about the original point that you were talking
about with your nephews or your friends there in New York.

(31:29):
You have to get the taste. You have to get
the taste, and you have to say, okay, I am.
I am either going to embrace this or I'm going
to run from this. Now, if you're single and you're
living in an apartment, or you're sharing an apartment with
a couple other people, that's one thing, But to raise

(31:50):
your family. Do you know what Mandami his first order
of business was his first order of business, Get a
load of this. Okay, get a load of this. They
got rid of the accelerated programs where people kids who

(32:12):
are gifted. They don't want anybody to be regarded as gifted. Now,
I understand he comes from Uganda, and I understand that
he comes from a lot of money. His father is
a total loon in terms of the radical policies of things.

(32:33):
His mother is very wealthy. This guy lives in a
rent control department. How dare him do that? By the way,
this guy is committing fraud in my opinion, because he's
sitting there saying I'm sitting here and I'm getting subsidies
for twenty three hundred dollars or whatever it is to
live in this apartment. That's not a real revolutionary. That

(32:57):
is a guy who is in give you the phrase
very famous from back in New York once upon a time.
He's an interloper. He's an interloper. He's a guy that
wants to be famous for being famous. And this is
great because wait, I'm just sitting back and I'm going
what happens when the subways strike, What happens when the

(33:20):
buses strike, What happens when the unions strike? What happens
when all that happens. That is going to be something
to see. I'm telling you. The important lesson that you
can take with you is that Mandami's name may end
up as mud because this guy's not ready for prime time.

(33:41):
If you look at the people he's talking about, hiring.
Nobody wants these people. This is the scratch in dent
bin of people. Okay, you know, you go to the
store and it's like, hey, this is pretty good. It's
a laser pointer, but it only goes every six clicks.

(34:06):
It only like I have to click it six times
to get it. But it's only eleven dollars. Let's go
ahead and get that. This is what this guy is.
I mean, Mandami is going to be I'm telling you
right now, Mandami is going to be synonymous with the
great failures of American American citizens, American people who come

(34:28):
in and they think that they can get this thing
on the right track. That city's got an ability, a
very strong ability to turn you right out, to get
rid of you. Now, why should we care in Charlotte,
Why should we care in South Carolina? Why should we
care in Georgia? Why should we care in Tennessee? Because

(34:51):
trust me, Florida is getting filled up fast, and there's
a lot of people that don't want to go down
to Florida because it's getting filled up fast with New Yorkers.
And that's been the case for about forty fifty years.
So where are they? Where are they gonna go They're
gonna come into your neighborhood. They're coming into Ballantine, They're

(35:12):
coming in to all the parts of the area. They're
coming in. They're gonna come rolling in these these these
New Yorkers are gonna come into your town, into your community,
into all these places. They're gonna buy up all the
real estate, and they're gonna tell you how it's gonna be.
And it's all like that. That's why you want to
keep him in New York. That's that's why you should

(35:33):
have voted for Sliwa. That's why you should have voted
for Curtis, because Curtis is gonna was gonna go out
there and he was gonna straighten out the crime and
all that sort of stuff. But but the little socialists decided,
we're gonna go ahead and vote for Mandami because he's
so exotic. He's a socialist. He is known as a socialist.

(35:59):
You know the lasts. Anybody know who the last socialist
was Eugene Debs. You know what happened to Eugene Debs.
He ended up in the clink, as they say, he
ended up in jail. Yes, that's true. I'm not making

(36:20):
that up. That's why you don't really see a whole
lot of socialists running in places. It's why you see
somebody like Bernie Sanders, who is a socialist and a
vowed socialist, but he has no responsibility. So it's like
a free ride. It's a free ride. When you're a
mayor and you're a socialist, you're responsible for everything. And

(36:41):
that's all I'm gonna say about that, because just remember,
you never know when this guy's gonna come on down
here with his accolades and his acolytes and all those
sorts of day. Let's go ahead down to Charlotte and
turn them into socialists as well. No, thank you, I

(37:07):
swim in freedom. Another grade hour, straight ahead, stick around,
don't go anywhere. What a seven point nine FMWBT Charlotte's
FM News Talk. How many more things can you have coming?

(37:40):
I mean, at what point does other stuff start coming?
Like you just go wait a minute, I don't know, Okay,
let's just say hypothetically. Let's just say hypothetically, I want
to look at the world through a different sort of lens,
all right now. I don't know if you are familiar

(38:00):
with this story. It's a very important story. Some of
you have not heard about this at all, so I
feel like it's my duty to tell you about this.
There is fraud in the Somalia community in Minnesota, I know, right,
I mean, who could have thought about? Who knew this?

(38:22):
Who knew this at all? And now it's sort of
metastasized into other communities, places like Ohio, places like Washington State.
What is happening? How could this be? How could this happen?
It's kind of shocking. Give me cut number ten if

(38:46):
you would. This is Ben Ferguson and Ted Cruz talking
about all the fraud that's going on because I'm not
gonna let this thing go. I know I opened with
you know what kind of a refresher and things like that,
but let's go to this. Listen to Ben Ferguson and
Ted Cruz cut number ten please.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
And if you go back to the governor and his
tweet that he put out on ten twenty of twenty
twenty three, he said, quote, Minnesota's economy doesn't work without
childcare providers, so we're giving them a raise. We're providing
three hundred and sixteen million in direct funding to boost
pay for childcare providers, all while building a stronger childcare

(39:26):
system for middle class families. Learn more at mn dot
gov slash DHS, slash partners and many of the groups
that were defrauding our government are listed in that governor's
text and tweet right there.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Well, look, this is a story number one about fraud.
It's about corruption, it's about political corruption. It is about
an immigrant community, the Somali community that came over and
discovered American politicians willing to be partners with them, partners
and robbing the taxpayers. The scale of this theft, it

(40:03):
really boggles the mind. You're looking at a period of
years where Minnesota spent eighteen billion dollars on Medicaid and
up to half of it, nine billion dollars was fraudulent.
One at every two dollars spent was stolen. And the
absolute staggering brazenness of this really makes the jaw drop.

(40:28):
But it also there there was a vicious and corrupt
circle where Minnesota politicians, Democrats shoveled money to these Somali fraudsters.
The Somali fraudsters made millions and even billions of dollars.
They sent millions and even billions of dollars back to Somalia.

(40:49):
Back to al Shabab, the Islamic terrorist group there. But
they also gave thousands or even millions of dollars to
Democrat politicians to get them elected, and in turn, they
shoveled even more and more cash.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
The two joined together. It was like Bonnie and Clyde.
Ha ha, Bonnie and Clyde. Yeah, let's be honest. Bonnie
and Clyde is an anempt sort of comparison because they
really only robbed a couple of banks. We're talking about
eighteen billion dollars. You know what that sound is right now?

(41:22):
Do you hear that sound? That's George Washington's in his
tomb spinning. I showed you what he was talking about.
I gave you the explanation of all this sort of stuff.
You think George Washington would sit there and say, oh, yeah,
we are giving me another eighteen billion dollars for the
Somalis who were not teaching the kids, not feeding the kids,

(41:45):
not taking care of what I mean. I got this
for days. I mean I got this for days and day. Here,
let me do this right right here. Okay, this is
gonna be cut number eight, Cut number eight. This is
a news Nation package on the scans in the Midwest.
Let's hear it cudding.

Speaker 7 (42:01):
Times its size.

Speaker 8 (42:02):
But this assisted living facility puts this all in perspective.
It's owned by a man indicted for laundering a million
dollars in the Feeding Our Future scam. He's Gandhi Mohammed
now Gandhi Abdi Kadai, and his LLC owns the homes,
his wife runs the assisted living facilities, and the state
is continuing to pay as he awaits his trial.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
We went to.

Speaker 9 (42:23):
Each of them.

Speaker 10 (42:24):
We're curious because the man who owns this building was
indicted in the Feeding our Future scandal? Did you know that? No,
don't know that.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
E g.

Speaker 10 (42:35):
What do you know the Feeding our Future scandal? This
is the scam that was There's all these indictments related
to false you know, billing on feeding. No, that's not
true that it's not true that he is the way
I know that stuff.

Speaker 11 (42:54):
These assisted living facilities received over two point three million
in state money last year alone. A Minnesota Reformer article
says he has been paid a whopping forty nine million
since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Hmm, how about that? Whow you know? It's it's funny.
There are a number of different organizations here in our community,
all around the country who have actual paperwork proofs that like, hey,

(43:26):
we fed you know, four hundred and fifty thousand meals
this year, you know, with these folks and all this
sort of stuff. But these guys don't have any paperwork.
Like it's like, ah, yeah, you know what. Sorry, I'm sorry,
I got I lost it in a a in a
barn explosion. I don't have the paperwork anymore, but I did.
We did feed some of the people, mostly us. But

(43:50):
I mean, I'm just saying this is see, this is
the problem. Okay, some people are more equal than other people.
I know, we're all equal, but some people are more
equal than other people. Did you, I mean, just go
ahead and read it. Read the book, you know, the
book Animal Farm. Oh we don't, we don't. We're not

(44:14):
involved in any Here give me. This is the Banati,
the Bennati child care setup that is in Ohio. Cut
number twelve. Please go cut twelve. Okay, all right, here goes.

Speaker 9 (44:32):
We are here at the Benati Childcare to LLC on
Cleveland av In Columbus, Ohio, at five pm on a weekday.
It says that they are open from six thirty am
to eight pm Monday through Sunday.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
And you know.

Speaker 9 (44:55):
It's five pm right now, and we'll knock on the
door and see if anyone's actually here. It doesn't look
like there's anyone that would be here, certainly not a
place that I would want my children if I had

(45:18):
kids to be Wait, wait a couple more seconds, Maybe
give it another knock.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Who is it?

Speaker 9 (45:30):
Don't hear anything. No cars and it's five pm, so
there would be you would think lots of pickups going
on if this were actually a active childcare center. There
is a camera right there, right up there, you see,
so they do have some sort of activity going on.

(45:55):
There's a boutique right next door.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Ladies and gentlemen. It looks like it's like a hotel motel,
like one of those in a bad part of town,
and a hotel motel where you're like, I am not
going to that building, not at all. And this is
the problem. These people are getting our money and they're
not doing anything to get it. Is this another Judas

(46:30):
priest Judas priest man, No, it's really good to be
with you. Go ahead, I'm playing a team.

Speaker 12 (46:37):
Dig me get these guys ready.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Excuse me? Is anybody in there, Hello, anybody in there?

Speaker 12 (46:59):
Are you? Are you?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Are you teaching the kids? Are you teaching the kids?
Rob Halford? What are you teaching? I don't understand this.
This is crazy. Why are why are we just shoveling
out money? And I'm serious with I'm dead, dead serious
when I asked that question, because it's it's I don't
think it's a crazy question to ask. I mean, I
just I don't. I don't know. See, I feel like

(47:25):
I feel like there is so much lunacy going on
in our country right now, and it's all coming from Washington,
D C. And Blue States. Okay, Like, let me give
you an ab comparison. Now, I'm gonna read this straight
for you, and you just tell me what you spot
with what I say. Tuesday on MS now's All In,

(47:52):
they hosted Representative Eric Swallwell. Now he wants to run
for governor of California. He says, he's running for governor
of California, and so they ask a number of questions
about all these controversial things like borders and whatnot. Swalwell

(48:13):
says this, Well, you have immense powers if you're the
governor of California and your responsibility to protect the most
vulnerable in the state. So if the president is going
to send ice agents to chase immigrants through the fields
where they work, what I'm going to do, this is Swalwell.

(48:34):
This is what Swalwell is going to do. Mister feng Feg.
What I'm going to do is make sure that they
take off their masks and show their faces, that they
show their identification, and if they commit crimes, that are
going to be charged with crimes. If it's falsely imprisoning people,

(48:57):
if it's kidnapping, if it's assault and battery, they are
going to be held accountable. I'm also thinking if the
governor has the ability to issue drivers' licenses to people
in California, if you're going to wear a mask and
not identify yourself and you're not going to be eligible

(49:18):
to drive in California, There's a lot you can do,
but most importantly, you can go on offense. Otherwise the
most vulnerable in our community will always be on defense.
This guy needs to open the windows because he's getting
high on his supply. Okay, And here's the problem with

(49:42):
what he just said. So you are going to give
people who are in the country illegally CDLs. You're gonna
give them CDLs. You're gonna give them regular licenses, and
they don't have to have any documentation. But you are
going to suspend from the federal government the ability for

(50:03):
these law enforcement officers. I read the whole thing to
you last night. I mean, you can go back and
listen to the podcast. They're gonna confiscate the driver's licenses
of these people. So let me just say something. You
can confiscate whatever you want, Eric, but the fact of
the matter is these people are still going to drive

(50:25):
in their vehicles and they're protected by the federal government.
You guys love the federal government when it comes to
j six people, but you don't like the federal government
when it comes to actually protecting people who are being
murdered or raped or trafficked or any of those sorts
of things. Why the double standard? Why is that? I

(50:47):
think we understand why. I think we know why. It's
abundantly clear. This guy knows he can't get elected. He
couldn't get elected to king Marshmallow with one marshmallow on
a table, Okay, he couldn't do it. And so this
guy is clowning the American people. And this is what

(51:08):
is happening broadly. Pritzker clowning the American people, Mundami clowning
the American people, Walls clowning the American people. Time and
time and time again. These people are clowning the American people.
They are not serious legislators. They are people who are

(51:30):
just trying to cash a check. Dead serious here, as
Joe Biden would say, not a joke, not a joke.
But when you look at all this sort of stuff,
they're also not doing anything to protect the American people
who are victimized by people who shouldn't be in the country.

(51:55):
I mean, it's weird, right, isn't it kinda weird when
you think about all this sort of stuff. Here's a comment.
If leaders want peace, then why the hell do they
keep firing and missiles and drones on each other. It
blows my mind. Happy New Year, Brett Joel from Concord. Yeah,

(52:22):
I guess, yes, I understand what you're saying. But there's
a whole other, underquote part of this deal as well.
At the same time, you know, we have this situation where,
let me give you an example, this is Corey. Corey
opining with me. I think what we should do is

(52:44):
just take this money that we're currently just giving away
to these felons, stop the payments, use the money to
build the required number of federal penitentiary, required store and
how it is these individuals, and put them where they belong.
So you want to build penitentiaries and lock these people up, yes,

(53:04):
because they're violating the laws. Now this maybe the comment,
Oh the day, are you ready for this? This is
Allan Allan Allen has been on point all week. Gold
star for Allan. WBT should send breaking Brett Jensen to

(53:28):
Minnesota or maybe send the twenty three year old reporter
to look into the Charlotte government operations. Bravo, bravo. Ah,
that's a really good take. Stan Stan says. If fraud

(53:49):
like this doesn't rise to the level of a felony,
deportations and prison sentences, pretty soon it'll rise to the
level of an all out war. It'll have to if
we want to keep our country, its culture and its
ideals that made it great. Well, yes, in a whole

(54:12):
lot of ways, in a whole lot of ways. I
mean I can once again, I can channel my inner
Joe Biden and say to stand come on, man, not
a joke. It's not a joke. I just want to
know where the money's going, Like, I just want to know.

(54:34):
They're not educating or feeding anybody, So where is the
money actually going? I really want to know. I think
it's going through the JUALA system, and I think it
is going over to Somalia. And I think these folks
are are have have turned this into a science, I
mean just really a science.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
And welcome back on Brett. What are both good to
be with you.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Our telephone number is always seven four five seven zero
one seven nine, and you can certainly opine if you wish.
You can also go over to the WBT text line.
It's the exact same number that I just gave you,
and you can comment on every sort of things that
you would like to do it. You know, there are
three unique hacks, not talking about people, three unique hacks

(55:43):
to eat healthier in twenty twenty six, and I'll talk
about that in just a little bit. But I want
to look at the picture that we were just talking
about about all of these people who go out there
and say, what are we going to do to change
this problem? How are we going to deal with this

(56:05):
explosion of graft and grifters and all of these folks. Now,
one of the things that is bothering me about this
is that, well, I saw Caroline Levitt go on TV
today and she said that they are going to denaturalize

(56:33):
the people who are behind this fraudulent stuff. Now, is
that a good plan? Probably? I think you would want
to take people who shouldn't be in the country because
they're not following the laws. You should send them back
to their country of origin. Right, you could do that,
But why is she saying that publicly on TV. See,

(57:00):
there's a lot of stuff that you can do, but
not everything has to be thrown out there with the commentary.
I think you just go ahead and you say, all right,
you have come into the country under false pretenses. You
are going to be brought up on trial, and we're

(57:23):
going to see if the judge is going to permit
us to let you be repatriated back to your country, period,
full stop. You don't have to talk about every shot
you're gonna take. In fact, I would prefer to see
much less, much less of the talking and more of

(57:45):
the happening. That's what I want to see. But unfortunately,
you know, in a climate that is as hot as
it is right now in a place where everything has
to be said and everybody he has to know about it.
You know, from moment to moment, this is the problem.

(58:05):
You're better off running stings, doing the sort of things.
Get those people who are the kings of these sort
of operations, and then go out there and require that
they are going to be repatriated back to the country
they came from. I don't care if it's Lithuania. I
don't care if it's Hungary, I don't care if it's

(58:27):
Saudi Arabia. If you're stealing from the American people, you're
going back to you're going to jail, and then you're
going overseas back to your home country. But you don't
have to say it. We all can kind of understand
why you don't want to call every single shot. That's
a that's a huge problem. And I get it. This

(58:51):
is this is a this is a situation that runs
in its own clock. Okay, it does its own thing.
But wouldn't it be great to see a surprise, like
to see, wow, look what happened. Oh Maduro has been
taken out of the position of the dictatorship of Venezuela.

(59:12):
How about that. You know, everybody wants to talk and
they want to show more videos and they want to
hit more of it. There are a lot of ways
you can I was about to say something that I
shouldn't say, which is skin a cat, because I don't
want to do that. I'm a cat guy. I love
my cats, and I think they love me or they

(59:35):
just like that I feed them. But here's the thing,
you don't have to say what you're gonna do. You
ever watch football, anybody anybody here of a game called football?
Do you think that that your quarterback should be standing
there and as he's lining up under center, he's like, Hey,
I'm gonna take this ball and it's gonna go ten

(59:57):
yards that way. Watch watch what I'm gonna do. There
are people who would do that, dumb people. You don't
want to give up every sort of thing. I wish,
I wish there was a little bit more discipline in
this regard. But I get it. I understand it. It's
a hot topic and people are now sitting back and

(01:00:17):
they're saying, I've gotta I've got to act like I've
got to take on this thing. Now. Going back to
Allen for a second, he said he wants to know
whether or not Vice President Harris, the nominee for the
presidency after Joe Biden decided not to run, wondering if
Harris was in the know. I think that's I kind

(01:00:42):
of feel like that's a hard reach because she would
have said it. She'd have been like, we're getting so
much money and doing all this. I mean, she could not,
she could not keep that under wraps. That is impossible.
It's impossible to be doing that kind of stuff. Here
are the five foods that people over fifty five say

(01:01:06):
used to be better. Here we go, McDonald's French fries.
McDonald's French fries are one salty treat that diners say
used to be even better than they are today. If
you can believe it, McDonald's french fries tasted better frying

(01:01:27):
them in beef fat as much tastier than what they
are using today. One commenter said, I think that's true.
I think the old McDonald's fries were better. Fresh produce.
Quite a few people mentioned the simple pleasure of better produce.
Fresh fruit and vegetables used to taste better. Yes, yes,

(01:01:51):
because they oxygenate all this stuff and it's not you
don't get it ripe in a real ripe way. That's
the problem. Pork chops used to taste better, That's wow. Nick,
Are you you got to vote on this thing about
whether or not the pork chops used to be much tastier?

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:02:11):
Probably, I mean, I'm sure the pork's probably been been altered,
but or was it the way we used to prepare them,
Like the way my grandmother and mother used to prepare them.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
See, pork chops used to be a regular part of
the dinner dinner rotation in many households. Pork chops had
fat on them, and when those chops were grilled, they
were fantastic. A commenter said, I would say pork tasted
better before they started producing leaner pork, as the fat

(01:02:45):
was the flavor. That is true. I'm old enough to
remember when people call it gristle, Give me some of
that grizzle. Milk and dairy people are saying even dairy
was different. According to those who remember the simple, tasty
pleasures of raw milk, we still had access to fresh

(01:03:07):
raw milk in the supermarkets and the drive up, walk
up dairies. In some households you had home delivery. The
quality of the milk, the cream, the butter, etc. Was
phenomenal and beyond compare to any you could get in
contemporary supermarkets. But you can still get fresh raw milk

(01:03:31):
in LA. I'm not going to LA to get some
fresh raw milk because I'm not getting mugged. It was
just really expensive, and while it is better than supermarket milk,
it's not as good as my memory days. Finally, finally,
this is going to start a fight. Hostess treats allegedly

(01:03:53):
were better flavored earlier.

Speaker 7 (01:03:57):
Well, I can't speak to hosts, but I know the Tasty.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Cake were better Tasty Cakes.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
When they were made up in Philadelphia. Before you know,
somebody in Atlanta bought ooh.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Some mentioned the popular snack foods from Hostess tasted better
back then. Even the processed snack foods were better. Hostess
products like ding Dongs and Twinkies were so much better,
so good. Wonderbread was delicious. Now snack foods are nothing

(01:04:29):
but preservatives. They taste gross. It's been decades since I've
eaten them. Well, how do you know what you're not missing?
Even now with Crispy cream donuts, they have so much
preservatives they don't grow moldy even though they're made with
fresh ingredients. Well, the mold could be a part of

(01:04:50):
the food. Like you know, you ever get an orange,
you got a little mold on the side of it.
You just go let me, let me get rid of that.
You carve it kind of like the Godfather, and you
put it in your mouth and you chase the kid,
and the kid is crying. You know, if we had
him still around, by the way, we could scare everybody

(01:05:14):
into not committing fraud. Just send Marlon Brando to your
neighbor's window in the dark of night with a slice
of that orange peel and just just do that move.
Do that move chasing the kid. That kid will never
be the same again, and he'll thank you for it.

(01:05:37):
Staying on the right path. It is the Brent Winterbowls Show.

(01:05:58):
What O seven point nine f MWBT Charlotte's FM News Talk.
Great to be with you looking at all the stuff
that's out there. Let's look back on some of the
storylines that maybe maybe you forgot about, maybe you're not
aware of. Maybe any of that sort of stuff. Remember
back in the day last New Year's where we had

(01:06:19):
this attack that took place in New Orleans in fact,
I think we that was that may have been were
you there? Were you there for that moment? You might
have been. No, you weren't. Okay. National Guard patrols New
Orleans ahead of a New Year amid visit vehicle ramming

(01:06:41):
threats that are out there. Now. We all remember what
happened last New Year's Eve, and late in the early
in the morning, you saw this terrible attack that took place.
So let me ask you a question. And I'm serious,
I'm not not making anything a joke out of this.

(01:07:01):
Weeks after the National counter Terrorism Center Director Joe Kent
warned that thousands of known and suspected terrorists entered the
United States during the Biden Harris regime of a non
of a nation killing or open border invasion, and days

(01:07:25):
after US government threat assessments flagged elevated risks from lone
wolves and small terror cells potentially targeting special events in
New York City and Chicago. The deployment of National Guard
troops to New Orleans only suggests officials are responding to

(01:07:49):
credible threats Like Chicago and New York. You can understand
they're probably always under threat. There's always a wacko or
some so you've got to be on you know, major putting.
Same with DC stuff like that. But if you're going
to New Orleans, it makes sense because they hit you once.

(01:08:13):
Jahati's typically will try to hit again and again and
again in the same target. It's just it's one of
their things that they do. I know, when Winston was
trying to make jokes about looking at intelligent stuff and
things like that, I thought, well, there's an important reason
for people to read these sorts of things to see

(01:08:35):
how these things go. And so Chicago authorities are warning
New Year's Eve celebrations could attract foreign and domestic terrorists
New Orleans to increase security after FBI foil's anti FA
affiliated plot to kill border patrol agents. That's new. That

(01:09:03):
is new information. That is ANTIFA affiliated plots are looking
to kill border patrol agents. Now here's what I think
is interesting. A total of three hundred and fifty Louisiana
National Guard soldiers are patrolling Bourbon Street in the French Quarter,

(01:09:26):
another high value areas across the metro region, one year
after a vehicle ramming terror attack on Bourbon Street killed
fourteen people. So do you think the people of New
Orleans are going to be happy to see the troops

(01:09:47):
that are standing there, or unhappy to see the troops. Obviously,
they're probably really happy because it means you get to
go out there if any nonsense breaks out, you know,
you have the ability to have backup and things like that. Right,
So that's probably a smart thing to do. But this
is how stupid they are in the big blue cities,

(01:10:11):
not New Orleans. I'm gonna talk about New Orleans because
that governor in New Orleans, the governor of Louisiana is
a solid guy. He's a good, good governor. But why
why is it that in Los Angeles people shouldn't be
safe In Los Angeles, people shouldn't be safe in Chicago,

(01:10:32):
people shouldn't be safe in New York. People shouldn't be
safe in Baltimore or any of these other places. The
deployment follows similar National Guard postings in Washington and Memphis.
Officials note that Guard deployments are merely routine in the
French Quarter. It makes sense, it's no different than what

(01:10:59):
they've done in the past, said the New Orleans Police
spokesperson Rees Harper. This is for visibility and to keep
our citizens safe. Harper said, it's another tool in the
toolbox and another layer of security. Louisiana's National Guard spokesperson,

(01:11:19):
a Lieutenant Colonel Noble Collins, said that the Guard will
support local, state, and federal law enforcement to enhance capabilities
to stabilize the environment and to assist in reducing crime
and restore public trust. Of course you would do this,
This is a no brainer. You saw the gang that

(01:11:40):
couldn't shoot straight last year when they were attacked. Now,
the thing that's important to understand, by the way, on
that attack that took place in New Orleans, what time
did that attack take place. It was like two o'clock
in the morning, two three in the morning. And guess

(01:12:01):
what you're probably I'm not going to be I'm not
being facetious, but who's around at two and three o'clock
in the morning in the French Quarter People who are
probably pretty drunk. So you are in this environment. This

(01:12:24):
guy shows up, starts shooting all these people, starts attacking
all these people. These are people who may be addlepated,
they may be you know, they drank a little bit,
or maybe they've drank a whole lot of bit. And
now suddenly this is just this is just like an
easy way for a terrorist to go and do something
like this, So I would I would say we will

(01:12:47):
probably see more National Guard troops later in the evening
than in the early part of the day, so they
are going to be on alert earlier this month. NCTC Kent,
that's the person who's following a lot of these threats,

(01:13:09):
told the House Homeland Security Committee that the agency has
identified Listen to this like this is why you can
never trust these people ever again in your life. The
House Homeland Security Committee was told that the agency has

(01:13:30):
identified roughly eighteen thousand known and suspected terrorists who were
allowed to enter the country under Biden. Harris, eighteen thousand

(01:13:51):
joties are walking around in the country. That is a shocker.
It's a shocker. Eighteen thousand, that's what That's a brigade.
Is that a brigade? Is that? I mean, that is
a big number of people out there. Sarah Adams was

(01:14:17):
a CIA targeting officer. She's regarded as a sensationalist, but
her warnings about the terror threat from the open borders
to the last few years are increasingly become mainstream. She
says in a commentary, it's past time that DHS Gov

(01:14:39):
stops playing pretend and finally raises the terrorism threat level
in this country. We have more than ten thousand Islamist
terrorists on our soil, so we have about eighteen thousand,
and they cannot keep looking the other way. So it

(01:15:04):
behooves me to say to any of you who are
going out in public space, is keep your head on
a swivel, because there's regular crime and then there's like big, bad,
really bad terror crime. So just be careful if you're
going out there. Tell your kids head on a swivel,
pay attention. If you feel something, you got to say something,

(01:15:27):
and all that sort of stuff. You've been hearing that
from Anna and other folks throughout the day. We got
another great hour straight ahead. It is the Brett Winterable Show.

(01:15:59):
It is great to be with you. Our reach out.
You want to come out, you want to check us out,
you can, you can do it. It's very easily. Here
you go, you ready write it down, don't forget it
seven four five seven zero one zero seven nine, or
or you can call us at seven zero four five

(01:16:19):
seven zero one zero seven nine. Your choice is yours.
The choice is yours. I'm telling you this right now.
This is this is a huge thing. I want to
grab this call from Stan because Stan's got a take
that I think is interesting. Stan, welcome to the program.
What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
Okay, Hey, so I didn't know if you heard about
it or not, but Judicial Watch has file the lawsuit
and what they want is secret Service and FBI records
about communications the things that in September, Donald Trump went
to a restaurant in Washington, DC called a a Joe's
Constittency Food restaurant in Washington, d C. And the thing

(01:17:00):
about it is it's joe Ci Food Prime State and
soon Crab with Code Pink protesters were able to get
extremely close to the president. Yes, here it was Trump
and Vice President Dat Events and Marco Rubio and PEXI
and Code Pink was able to get an advanced resident
reservation at the table sitting next to them and began

(01:17:21):
protesting when they got there. Wow, it's believed that somebody
inside had to lead this information.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
Okay, Now this is interesting. And so you're saying that
the Judicial Watch is looking to try to figure out
who who was responsible for this breakdown, and.

Speaker 4 (01:17:39):
They're saying that there have been other instances like this
similar to this that are being covered up. Okay, safety
is not being taken seriously, even after two previous attempts
on his life.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
So let me tell let me tell you a story.
And this was something that happened I think last week,
like last weekend, and there's video of this. You can
see this over on you can find it on x So.
Scott Bessend is the Treasury Secretary. Scott Bessant went into
a restaurant in Washington, d C. He he did, He

(01:18:15):
doesn't have he didn't have any security with him or
anything like that. He just went in there and he
was having a meal and these insane protesters very similar
to the code Pink Pink thing, they came in and
started screaming at him and they drove him from the restaurant.
He he initially was going back and forth with them,
like they were calling him names and whatever, but then

(01:18:37):
it started to get super heated and he ended up leaving.
So this to me sounds like a conspiracy of different
you know measures here because you're talking about if you
if you had the ability to to go get up
on Scott Bessant, you know, you could you could hurt
him or you could kill him he's a pretty big guy.

(01:18:57):
I've been around him. He's he's a he's a stocky
kind of guy. But I mean, my gosh, a gun
of a knife, whatever could be used I mean in
any in any way, shape or form. So I think
this is I think this is an emerging scandal that
needs to definitely be looked in. And I hope that
I hope that Scott bess and attaches that to the
to the judicial wise man, that that's a really scary story.

Speaker 4 (01:19:20):
Well, you know, here's what my thault was, is that
what what you could do to fix this problem? Because
you do not want ideologue in the protection of like
executive branch.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
People, right, what we what?

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
You just be better off. So let the executive branch
do with themselves, allocate the money that then spend it
and hire and fire people a private firm to say
no is all for them, and them screen everybody themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
I think that's that's a very important point. I mean,
I can tell you in the last couple I would say, Okay,
so I've been I'm not bragging. I'm just telling you,
like this is this is true. So I've gone I've
gone to the White House three times. This year and
spent time with the administration people, and on each of

(01:20:12):
those occasions, on each of them, one of them was
very early on in the administration, one was another three
months after that administration, and then uh and then another
three months or so. The summer was the last time
I was there. And they have incredible security. I mean,
the security there is remarkable to see. But when you

(01:20:35):
go to walk into towards the White House, like when
you're going towards the White House and you're heading out
in the parallel to the the other buildings that are
on the property there, one of the things that's notable
is they have the ability to see, you know, everybody
about what people are doing. But there's also a like

(01:20:59):
a gronden where people are allowed to stand out front
of the White House and yell and scream and protest
and all that, right, because that's what that's what we
do in America. But when you get over there and
you start seeing this, it's like, Okay, this is this
is the real deal. You don't know, you know what
what could come next, how that could go, all that

(01:21:20):
sort of stuff. And these security details are very very professional,
they're they're they're really sharp. That you're not going to
get over on any of these people at all. But
when you get to a restaurant, that's a whole other
deal because you've got to either decide, Okay, we're gonna
shut the whole restaurant down, which is gonna be a
problem for the for the proprietor, or you're gonna end

(01:21:43):
up with a situation where you know, it's it's like
an armed fort and that's that's a big deal. But
keep me, keep me apprized of this. I'm gonna look
this up and uh and try to find out more
information about it. But it's it's very scary to see
these top level people who are being targeted by what
I would guess is like Code pink or you know,
Antifi or whatever it is that's going on out there.

(01:22:04):
It's a really scary deal. Enjoyed the celebrating Happy New
Year to you too, Thanks so much, Just Stan. I mean,
that's a miss. It's scary. You know what else is scary?
You guys, you guys, you guys familiar with scary things.
There's a lot of scary things here. What have I
told you this? The return of Old World Christmas monsters

(01:22:28):
have become popular. Crampis. Okay, Crampis, Bell's nickel, yule Cat,
Frau Perchta. Ancient European legends surged back into the mainstream culture,
with millions reading, sharing, and dressing as these nightmare figures. Crampis,

(01:22:58):
Come on, Crampis. I'll tell you what. I went to
a restaurant one day and I ate, I ate a
little too much, and I said, I said to Scheg
we're driving home. I'm like, man, I got crampis And
she said, you know what you need? You need some bellsnickel,

(01:23:18):
And I said, dang it, I don't have that. Got
to stop by with the mule Cat and frau Percha.
Can you drop me off over in Spain? Okay, totally different,

(01:23:40):
something completely different, As the Monty Python would say, check
this out. This story is pretty interesting. Now. I have
evolved over the last like I would say probably over
the last three years, I've evolved in terms of space stuff.
I hate space. I would never go to space. I'd
never go flying in space. None of that at all,

(01:24:01):
does none of it. I don't want to get irradiated.
I don't want any of that kind of stuff going
on out there. No way, no how But but with
the AI Atlas thing that was going around and all
that sort of stuff, kind of I was got sucked
into that a little bit. But this thing, this thing
is kind of freaky. I want you all to understand.

(01:24:22):
This is kind of a freaky story coming from Mars.
From Mars, not the candy not the candy bar. Curiosity.
You know what curiosity is that that rover that goes everywhere.
Hey rover, Hey, rover, come over. Curiosity drove over a

(01:24:42):
rock on Mars. Oh wow, exciting. They accidentally broke it,
and what appeared inside left scientists with more questions than answers. Okay,
here we go, get ready, we may have awakened the kraken.

(01:25:08):
NASA's Curiosity rover did not set out to make headlines
with a Eureka moment. It simply rolled over a rock.
Oh okay, May the thirtieth, twenty twenty four. Okay, I
guess it took that long to tell us. They cracked
it open and exposed something that scientists had never confirmed

(01:25:30):
on Mars before, bright yellow crystals of elemental sulfur also
called native sulfur, not illegal sulfur. Okay, that detail matters
because curiosity has found sulfur on Mars many times, but

(01:25:53):
usually locked inside sulfates salts that form as water evaporates.
Pure sulfur is different. It forms a relatively narrow set
of conditions, and NASA's team says those conditions have not
been associated with this specific location's known history. Even more surprising,

(01:26:18):
the rover did not find a single odd rock. It
found what the mission describes as a whole field of
light colored stones, similar to the one it crushed. Curiosity
Project scientist Ashwyn Vasavada summed up the problem and the

(01:26:44):
excitement in one line. Finding a field of stones made
of pure sulfur is like finding an oasis in the desert.
Even more surprising, the rover did not find a single uh,
I'm sorry. Where the sulfur showed up. The discovery happened

(01:27:07):
in Gett's Vallis channel. You gotta make the space alien
side kind of names. Why don't you just call it like,
you know, fat man junk or something like that. The
discovery happened in GED's Vallis channel, a winding groove on
Mount Sharp inside Gail Crater. These scientists, they'd make what

(01:27:35):
is this? Everybody gets a name, You get a name.
Why isn't I would rather read it this way? Can
I do it this way instead? Okay? The discovery happened
in the breaking Brett Jensen channel, a winding groove on
mount on Mount bowen Beth inside TJ's Gale crater. See

(01:28:03):
that feels better. That's like real words. That's like real words.
Mount Anna or Mount Mike rises about three miles or
five kilometers, and Curiosity has been climbing the layers ever
since twenty fourteen, using a mountain like a natural timeline

(01:28:27):
of Mars's changing environment. I'm gonna try this instead instead
of instead of the gett Is Valus. Here's what I'm
gonna do, all right. Get Is Valus is also a
place where the landscape itself looks dramatic. How do you

(01:28:49):
know it looks dramatic? Maybe that's just the normalcy on
the planet. I mean, I'm just That's all I'm saying,
NASA says. Scientists suspect the channel was carved by flows
of liquid and debris and curiosities. Close up work suggests

(01:29:10):
both energetic floods and landslides shaped with different debris piles that,
according to Becky Williams of the Planetary Science Institute. Everybody's
got an institute. So this is like big stuff, right,

(01:29:30):
I mean, this is like, this is this is one
of those things I don't like to get us Valus,
to get us Valus, it just doesn't sound right. We're
gonna call We're gonna change that name. We're gonna go
to uh Frankie Valley. Frankie Valley. Doesn't that work? Well,

(01:29:52):
let's hold on to what we got. Oh it's sulfur.
They got a lot. Oh my gosh, I don't This
is why I don't go to space. I don't even
like to drive past space. I don't even go down
that neighborhood. I like being on Terra Firma. Terra Firma
suits me fine. And now what's going to happen? Suddenly

(01:30:14):
you're gonna find out Venezuela is now using sulfur to
try to get to your kid. I mean, see, this
is the problem. These are the problems we have to
deal with. But I'll tell you this right now. I
will tell you this right now. That's a really it's
a cool thing to look at, it's a cool thing

(01:30:35):
to understand. There's certainly other big stories, like there's multiple
astronomical events that are going to occur in twenty twenty six.
I don't know if you knew about this, but there's
a whole bunch of stuff, including the NASA Artemis mission.
They're going up to the Moon mission. Right there, They're
gonna go up there. I don't know why that's a
big deal, because that all happened in the nineteen sixties,

(01:30:58):
and I don't know why suddenly it's just gonna be
a big thing. That's kind of like, it's not that
it's not that great. I don't think. I mean, maybe
it is. They're doing rehearsals, they're doing all these things.
Oh oh no, no, no, no, no. Scientists found eight

(01:31:20):
new caves on Mars. Okay, now we got a problem. Okay,
you're crushing up the sulfur, you're doing all that stuff. Now,
who's gonna go in that cave? Breaking Bretchenson and you
know what they're gonna find. You know what they're gonna find.
I know what they're gonna find. You send somebody into
that thing. I'm old enough to remember Heraldo Rivera and

(01:31:42):
al Capone's vault where they found what was it was
like an empty bottle of beer. Or something that was
in there. They thought it was all this treasury. This
is crazy, by the way, not to make light of this.
Caveman aliens. Caveman aliens could be hiding on Mars, according

(01:32:04):
to scientists, get out, leave, just take the thing and go.
Can you what could those things look like? They could
be like half crab, half man. I mean it would
be like a Prometheus. Yes, that's right. I mean this
is I'm done with the science. See, this is what happens.

(01:32:28):
You start to go down. You look at this thing.
You scientist people, that's your thing. I don't get it.
I don't get it. I think we just got to
leave the stuff alone over there, because what's gonna end
up happening is they show up here. You doubt me.
What happens when you have the space aliens taking the
money from tim Walls and saying that they're teaching nobody.

(01:32:49):
You're nobody called today and welcome back. I am Brett Wittable.
It's great to be with you. Let's uh, let's wish
everybody at the same time. Let's just wish everybody a happy,

(01:33:12):
healthy New Year. How about that you still got time?
I always say this, I'm very proud of this. If
if you have not met your that that thing that
everybody does, I don't do it. I don't do it.
I I don't do any of the any of the

(01:33:32):
things where they say, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna stop
eating cake, I'm gonna stop smoking cigarettes. I'm gonna I
don't smoke cigarettes. But I'm saying any people say, uh,
my resolution is to guess what. Guess what you still
have about four five, six hours. Yeah, you could still

(01:33:55):
make it happen. Just if you if you are a
smoker and you stop smoking right now, Yeah, you succeeded.
Now you got to hold onto that. That's how it's
gonna go, you know. That's that's the challenge. I feel
like we have so much stress during the holidays, Like
you have the stuff. You go to Thanksgiving, you have
to go to somebody's house or they come to your house,

(01:34:15):
and you gotta cook, and you gotta clean, and you
got to make sure all this stuff you know, is
perfect and all that. And then you get to Christmas
and Christmas is amazing you, or you get to any
of the other holidays that we we celebrate. Right, you
have Hanukkah, you know, eight nights, you have all this
sort of stuff that's going on. You got a little

(01:34:38):
stress there. So of course we want to be stressed
out on the funnest night of the year, which should
be this. It should just be a fun night. Hey,
it's New Year's Eve, Tomorrow is New Year's and we
can all then get back to work. And so when
you see all this kind of stuff, you have these
people who just go out there and they say, Okay,

(01:35:00):
I'm giving up dut out out at all and I'm
gonna lose forty eight pounds and I'm gonna do all
this kind of stuff. And you look at him, you
go baby steps, like just just baby step. You got
three hundred and sixty five days, sometimes three hundred and
sixty six days, depends, we don't have the inflation anymore.
Like that. But here's the thing, you I wouldn't start

(01:35:22):
like me personally, I'm just this is my advice. I
wouldn't start my resolution like tomorrow. I'd be like February third,
like just a very non chalant date. Whatever that date is, Okay,
you know, you just do Okay. I would do a
January like what's like a just a boring day January five,

(01:35:48):
because January six is gonna trash you out because you're
gonna think about the riots that took place at the
White at the White House, at the Capitol. So I
just say, if you are doing resolution, like just like
ease into it, because what happens is like by midday,
you're talking to all the relatives, you're wishing everybody stuff,
You're doing all this thing, and then somebody says the

(01:36:09):
wrong thing to you, and you're like, Okay, that's it.
I'm off.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
I can't do this anymore. And I think that's the
best advice that I think anybody, that anybody can do.
I mean, I think that's important. Most of Iran has
shut down as government grapples with protests and the economy.
I was telling you guys the very opening of the program,
go back and listen to this, and I am telling you,

(01:36:35):
I am imploring you say a prayer for the people
of Iran. These are people who are being brave, they're
going out. You've got protests, you've got businesses, you've got universities,
you've got government offices that are staying closed Wednesday under
the government Orders twenty one of thirty one provinces including

(01:36:59):
Tehran closed. This tells me that we have a great
opportunity to make a change take place if you get
that domino to go. We don't have to invade, we
don't have to bomb, we don't have to do anything.
All we really need to do is to show support.

(01:37:19):
And the way you show support is, you know, you
hope and you pray, but you also need to do
this thing, which is talk about this with people. Almost
none of us remembers what Iran was like, you know,
you know, fifty sixty years ago, and everybody has seen

(01:37:40):
what a dangerous place it has become over all these years.
But the generations that have come and gone are definitely
excited about this possibility. I saw a person. So you
have these these goon squads that are coming out trying
to like, you know, rough people up there. They're hitting

(01:38:02):
them with sticks, they're hitting them with whatever. And there
was a solitary man who very reminiscent of what we
saw in Tianamen Square, although I hope it's a better
outcome than what happened in Tienanmen Square. And you have
this man and he's sitting on the street. Is an

(01:38:22):
all black and He's sitting on the street staring at
the shock troops that are coming towards him, and they
they they came up right on him. And he didn't
pick up and run away. He didn't go anywhere else.
He didn't do anything like that at all. These are
people who are just like you and us. I mean

(01:38:44):
they are They're just like you and everybody else that
we know, and they want to be free, like they
actually want to be free. Think about these places we went.
If you go back to the bad days of the
War on Terror, we didn't see any effort by people

(01:39:07):
going out and saying, hey, I want to I want
to do a better version of Iraq, or a better
version of Afghanistan or things like that. But Iran is
in a different spot. You have a very long history there.
You have the ability to understand that there were places

(01:39:30):
where you could go in Iran and you could vacation
in the nineteen sixties, in the nineteen fifties, in the
late nineteen seventies, before the nineteen seventies, and for us
to support them, I think is important. And I think
there is an effort being made inside the White House

(01:39:50):
because they want to see this thing go and I'm
very curious about this conversation that we just saw with
bb Net and Yahoo and Donald Trump down at the
down down at the mar A Lago, and I'm wondering
what kind of conversations they were having they were doing
back channel diplomacy. You know that the Saudis are natural

(01:40:14):
enemies of the Iranians, and in that case, what what
do you have? You have the ability to take this
country and bring it into the modernity that it deserves,
and they don't have to necessarily develop a nuclear weapon
or anything like that. Because if you get to a
place where they are able to be free and they

(01:40:36):
are able to join the the the accords like the
Saudis have, that is an absolute game changer. I know
the President wants to win a Nobel prize, uh he
talked a lot about that with Hamas and all that
sort of stuff and how how he should be that
that person. But if you take Iran off the board

(01:40:59):
and you have a relationship with them and they become
a thriving country, you will have saved who knows how
many lives, because these folks would otherwise be terrorized by
the Mullahs and of course by potential wars and boy,

(01:41:20):
wouldn't that be a shocking turn. What a shocking turn.
I'll share something with you when we come back. I
think this is a very interesting time in the world.

(01:41:44):
What a perfect sauce for a perfect stranger. It is
the Brettwinerbull Show, final segment of the program. But don't worry.
We got Scott Hamilton coming up. No, we got breaking
Bret Jensen coming up. Then we got Scott Hamilton coming up.

(01:42:06):
Then we got DJ Ritchie coming up. No, no, TJ Richie.
Oh well okay, oh he's fitting for him. Okay, right on,
I got that straight perfect. Okay, all right, Let's let's
take a look at some of the stuff that we
haven't really addressed in this regard, and it's this take
a look at what's happening in Washington, DC. I know,

(01:42:31):
I know, just follow this for me for just a quick,
just a quick little second here, Okay. Turning off payments
and forcing verification before taxpayer money flows out the door
is one of the most important steps that we can
take to end the fraud in Minnesota. But there are

(01:42:52):
many more to come. HHS and Secretary Kennedy are applauding
Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill. He says, we have frozen all
child care payments to the State of Minnesota, period, full stop.

(01:43:13):
You probably have been reading about all that stuff. You
know about it, We talked about it. But this is
how you stop the money from flowing and you make
people feel to be accounted for. And that's the trick,
like that is really the trick to be successful. Now
there are downsides, have nothing to do with the money

(01:43:35):
that's going out the door. But there are new rules
that are gonna kick in when it comes to airlines
over the course of the next twenty four hours. For
US domestic travel, real ID and TSA fees starting February

(01:43:56):
the first twenty twenty six non real ID hole there's
no star on the license face a forty five dollars
fee or need a passport for TSA ID checks, So
you got to you gotta make sure you have that
carry on bags. Expect stricter enforcement on size wheels, handles included,

(01:44:22):
and weight limits often fifteen to twenty two pounds. So
you're gonna be like the Europeans. You gotta they gotta
get to take out that mad And then what you
have to do is if you're over, they make you
wear it on the plane, which is really not comfortable,
not comfortable at all. Southwest has now got open seating

(01:44:45):
going away. Did you guys know that Southwest? Southwest says
no more open seating It ends January twenty seventh, twenty
twenty six, So you might need to buy two seats
if you need extra space. Digital IDs accepted in more
airports via Apple, Google, Samsung Wallet and accessibility. New single

(01:45:14):
aisle planes must have more accessible laboratories, including the most
important of all, grab bars, and better space for international
travel ladies and gentlemen EU and ATAS. Oh, you know
that's the European Group over there. A new electronic authorization

(01:45:39):
for twenty euros for visa exempt travelers starts in the
late of twenty twenty six. That's another one of the
issues that are going to be popping up here. You're
gonna have to have to deal with all this sort
of stuff, and you know, you sit back and you go,
wait a minute, what are we gonna do? How do
we do this? Continuing US entry potential for stricter EESTA applications,

(01:46:05):
five years social media email history for visa waiver travelers,
So they're gonna want to see everything you've been putting
on the on the on the on the on the
the platforms. Is this you? Is this you in that
dump truck? What are you doing? What are you foraging for?

(01:46:29):
Stop it? Biometrics. I'm excited to be biometrics. Not really.
You cannot take me with that. EU biometric systems become
fully operational April twenty twenty six. Okay, everybody, none of
us is going to Europe again because I'm not gonna
trust these Euros with the biometric systems. No good. And

(01:46:56):
then key takeaways for travelers. Get your real ID or
carry out passport for domestic flights. As we said, measure
your carry on with wheels and handles. Don't be taking
the wheels and the handles off and then trying to
think it's small. It's smaller, it's not. It's still a problem.
Check your airline policy for weight limits. What you're not

(01:47:17):
gonna body shame me, my friend. And then all the
other stuff that we that we just kicked around here.
So look, this is this is change. This is where
the change happens. The change is occurring, and it does
every year, and and they love to come in and
just do it? Why don't Why they do not have
like a mid year thing where they say, hey, running

(01:47:41):
up to this date, you have to be ready for
this stuff. Otherwise you know. Now now it's like, oh yeah,
just guess what, We'll give you a month. That's fine.
That that that's really good because that's what people want,
you know, people want to be surprised and unfortunate. I mean,

(01:48:01):
I get it. You know. The change is difficult, especially
when you're flying on airplanes especially I was. I was
on a plane over the over the last couple of days,
and you know, is it was fine for me except
for one thing I want to I do want to
say one thing about this. I carry a backpack when
I travel, soft sided backpack. Why because it can go

(01:48:25):
in the overhead or it can go in the under seat. Okay,
no problem. And this is I don't have like one
of those old, you know, giant backpacks. This thing is
is pretty small, and I try to I try to
make sure that I'm not overloading everything like that. So
we get on our flight and we it was me,

(01:48:47):
my lovely wife and my son and I had I said, wow,
this is great because it's a three seat area and
the three of us are going to sit there. And
we went and we put our backpacks in the overhead
where we are sitting. They came by and they said, no,

(01:49:09):
we need that for the rollies. Stop. Stop. So now
I got to take my backpack which is very soft,
soft sided, and I put it under my seat. We
had to put them all under our seat. And here
comes a guy, you know, with like some gigantic two
hundred pound thing over my head. And I'm sitting there

(01:49:30):
the all night, the whole time as we're flying, and
I'm like going, hey, it's gonna fall on my head.
I mean, I things happen, Turbulence happens, and so that's
the problem. I feel like that that territory should be
your territory. If it's over your seat, if you are
taking up the entire space of that spot, you should

(01:49:52):
be able to put your bags up there. Come on,
we packed light. These people are coming in. They guy's
gotta coming over and into the into the aisle. He's
got a Great Danes slung over his arm, and.

Speaker 13 (01:50:08):
He's got a hatchet and he's he doesn't have it.
He really doesn't have a Great Dane or a hatchet.
But you know, hey, listen, listen. Great Danes are pretty awesome. Okay,
let's be true. Okay, I just I sit back and
I go.

Speaker 1 (01:50:27):
Those things are massive, gigantic. Excuse me, this is my
support animal. I'm going to ride him all the way
to the back of the aisle to get He's gonna
sit on your lap. That's right. Give me. I got

(01:50:49):
a bull mastive. He's gonna run in the third race.
We're gonna win. We got chariot races going back and
all right. Thank you so much for putting up with
us today. It's a real pleasure to be with you, guys.
I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, happy New Year.
