Speaker 1 (00:16):
News Talk eleven ten, not nine three WBT. It's the
Brett Water Bull Show. It is great to be with you. Boy.
A lot of stuff happening, and some of the stuff
that that we are going to be covering over the
course of the next three hours is got some very
interesting angles attached to it, not the least of which
is you keep seeing the President of the United States
going after Nancy Pelosi, right because of the alleged insider

(00:40):
trading stuff and all that kind of stuff that's going
on out there. As well, well, I got to tell
you something and we'll do we'll flesh this out down
down the way. And that is Josh Hawley. Man. This
this guy is like a dog with a bone in
all the best kind of ways. And he is he
is pushing, pushing, pushing big time for getting a referral,

(01:03):
not a referral, but getting a reformation, in a reform
in terms of people who are privy to information that
comes because of the office they hold, whether it's the Congress,
whether it's the Senate, even potentially the White House. This
is a very interesting time. Suddenly you've seen of your

(01:28):
right when you go back and look at the way
that the Republican Party had typically comported itself. Pre Trump.
You saw the kind of Mitch McConnell, you saw the
sort of Paul Ryan, you saw the sort of the
Denny Hastert. I know that's a really bad one I

(01:49):
shouldn't have used, but you know, you look at these
guys and gals, and they were always the people that
were just trying to keep the donor class happy. You're
actually now seeing a strong push for reform, like the
Republican Party is operating as a reform party as opposed

(02:10):
to what you're seeing over on the left, and the
left is now looking like it's old, creaky and wants
to stick with the old narratives. And that I think
is something that's really really remarkable because the people who
are running for the next office up, these are people

(02:33):
who are grassroots people. Now, the Democratic Party does have
grassroots people as well. I'm not going to say that
they don't have any grassroots people, but they have a
lot of elites. The Democratic Party is and I think
it's impossible to deny this, that the Democratic Party does
have a very strong elitism inside the party. There's nothing

(02:58):
wrong with that. It worked for the pinstriped Republicans for
about fifty or sixty years and then they decided to
go populist. And populism is a very interesting sort of
a notion, right because populism is usually, you know, just
kind of dismissed as slack jawed yokels trying to run

(03:22):
around with their pitchforks, running people out right. That's what
they used to do to Nut Gingridge when Nut Gingridge
was starting to make his name. And you go back
to the dawn of I know this is very very geeky,
but the dawn of c SPAN when c span first occurred,

(03:43):
which I think was like nineteen seventy nine. So c
SPAN comes on and it's the very first time where
you're actually able to see your representatives giving speeches, debating,
talking about policies, things like that. And what ended up
happening was Nut Gingridge. Over the course of time after

(04:05):
he got elected, he was a professor for a while,
he decided he wanted to run for office, so he did,
and Newt Gingridge had a showdown between himself and do
you know who it was? Anybody remember who this was?
Tip O'Neil, Tip O'Neill, So Newt Gingridge, this is a

(04:27):
really smart play, because this is this is all going
to be the reason why I'm breaking this down this
way for you. Neut Gingridge would go after hours and
give speeches on the floor of the United States House.
So you'd go to the Congress and there would be
Newt Gingrich standing in the well and giving a speech

(04:50):
about you know, profligate spending, the need to take on communism,
the need to do all this sort of stuff, and
it got very chippy with your Speaker of the House,
tip O'Neil, and Tip O'Neil issued a dictum, and the

(05:11):
dictum was this, you are not to show a tight
shot on Newton Gangric when he's talking. You are to
show the room empty. That was the deal that he
demanded when he realized what these up and comers were doing,

(05:32):
the people who were like, you know, John K. Sick
and those people, those old school sort of conservatives who
were coming up, Bob Michael who never won anything, all
that sort of stuff. And so tip O'Neil said to
see Spend, I will throw you out of the Congress
if you do not follow what I'm telling you, which

(05:53):
is you have got to do at least at a
minimum a wide shot, so that people know that there's
nobody listening to Newt Gingrich or nobody listening to Bob Michael,
or nobody listening to any of those guys who were
on the right. And it worked. It worked. But over

(06:13):
that period of time, you had this ability to create
the notion that there are fire brands fighting for the
Republican side, and they were branded with a whole bunch
of different nasty nicknames, and one of the nasty nicknames
was populist. You guys are just a bunch of populists.
You guys just want to come in and tear everything down.

(06:35):
You want to throw people off of medicare. You want
to throw people off of Medicaid. You want to starve children,
you don't even want them to go to school. You
don't want any of that kind of stuff. That wasn't
really what was going on. And so between like nineteen
seventy nine and nineteen ninety four, what did you see?

(06:58):
You saw something change. You saw something change in a big, big, big,
big way, and they built the momentum to get to
the place where they would eventually be a party that
was unified, disciplined, and ready to deliver the goods. That's
how you ended up with the Republican Revolution. And it

(07:23):
worked for a certain period of time, and you had
a president in the office of Bill Clinton who wanted
to balance the budget and that sort of stuff, and
where they could work together, they worked together. But the
great fissure, the great failing, was obviously what happened when
Bill Clinton was impeached because of you know, down and

(07:47):
Dirty at eleven thirty in the Oval Office, and that
was the great break that took place. And now you
know the rest of the tail. There's talk eleven ten

(08:09):
nine nine three WBT. If you are of a mind too,
we will certainly take your comments, concerns, et cetera at
seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten. You also,
if you happen to want to say something that you
want to you know, put into print, you could head
on over to our incredible WBT text line driven by

(08:30):
Liberty Buick GMC. And that phone number is exactly the
same as the main phone number when you call in
seven oh four five seven zero eleven ten. So there's
a very interesting piece from Techno Fog which is dropped
today released the Durham Classified Appendix. The Classified Appendix to
the Special Council of John Durham's report has been released,

(08:53):
and you can go out there and review it and
take a look at it. To briefly summarize, the classified
appendix provided further information about the matters that are covered
in the Durham Report, specifically that relating to Hillary Clinton's
plan to link Trump to Russia, the threat of foreign
influence by a foreign government, and the Carter page FEISA

(09:16):
application renewals. But the most difficult territory covers the Clinton Plan.
The plan that provides further details on how that plan
started and the efforts by Clinton and her team to
influence officials within the Obama administration, and how the Clinton

(09:39):
campaign would use CrowdStrike to further their theory that the
Russians had hacked and leaked information from the DNC and
the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That is a very important
point that they are raising here, by the way, and
it is not popularly known because if you go back

(10:00):
in time when you had a particular congresswoman who was
in charge of getting the Clinton team to get elected, etc.
There's a whole lot of people who play a game
in this thing. Javier Bessera, he was one of the

(10:22):
people that was operating in a sort of a freelance
sort of way. You certainly had a number of other
folks who were a part of this, And at one
point in time you had a group of people operating
inside the DNC or the d NCC, and they were

(10:46):
connected back to, of all places, ladies and gentlemen, Pakistan, Pakistan,
the Clinton Plans origins or this. Some context is needed
to understand how the Obama administration and discovered that the
Clinton Plan back in July of twenty sixteen, and the
classified appendix supplies those details. From twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen,

(11:10):
persons affiliated with Russian intelligence hacked and gained access to
the emails of numerous US public and private entities, including
government agencies, nonprofits, and think tanks. One particular think tank
comes right to mind. Now I'm not saying anything, I'm
just saying something. This included the Open Society Foundations. Who

(11:36):
is the Open Society Foundations? If you guessed the Soros Foundation,
you'd be right. So now all of a sudden, we're
starting to see the percolation of George Soros's sort of affectation.
Sources provided the US with intelligence concerning these hacks and access,

(12:04):
including emails and Russian reports analyzing the hacked communications. Some
of the emails originated from Leonard Bernardo. He was the
regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society's Foundation, parenthetically Soros.

(12:28):
One of the Russian reports obtained by the FBI concerned
a discussion of confidential discussions with the Democratic National Committee
Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Remember Rush used to refer to
her as Debbie Blabermouth Schultz concerning the Hillary Clinton email

(12:52):
scandal and included the following intelligence and the intelligence goes
into the picture, and you see what's going on here.
This is one of the deals that's gonna have to
be investigated, and it's going to wrap up a whole
lot of other people in this mix. This is a problem.

(13:12):
This is a problem because if you have that particular
individual in Soros tied to the Russia collusion hoax, then
there's a whole lot of other stuff coming down the pipeline.
There is just like a ton of other stuff that's
going to be coming down the pipeline. Now, this is
just the stuff that is being supposed. This is just
some of the stuff that is being pointed out in

(13:33):
the reporting. And it's interesting because when you think back
to the bad old days, and by the bad old days,
what I mean is, you know, all those back and forth,
all the allegations, all the stuff that was going on.
You would have thought that at the end of the
election of Donald Trump that they would have cleaned it

(13:55):
all up so you couldn't go back and find the stuff.
But apparently they just decided that it was gonna be fine.
Everything was gonna be cool. It wasn't that important. We
don't have to do this. The burn bag thing is
a huge deal. The fact that they went into a
specific part of the building somehow they were tipped off

(14:16):
when you're talking about Cash Pateel and Don Dan Bongino,
and they went into this this private area where they
were talking about these burn bags. Burn bags are supposed
to be burnt. You're supposed to burn the evidence. They
didn't burn the evidence. They actually just kind of kept

(14:39):
it in like a like a like an anti chamber
or something like We're going into the pyramids in Egypt
and we're going down there and we're sitting suddenly we're
discovering discovering, well, what is this room what's in this room? Oh?
Whoa burn bags? What kind of burn bags are in there?
Do you know what kind of burn bags are in there?

(14:59):
The burn are top secret and stuff like that that
they're using. Why wouldn't you burn them? Did somebody have
a plan down the road for that. Now here's the
interesting thing you have to understand about this particular story.
Cash Patel and Dan Bongino did an interview. I want

(15:21):
to say it was right around May fifth or so,
like right around May fifth, and they were asked a question.
They were asked a question. I think it was Maria Bartiromo,
or it might have been brettbar It's hazy for me,
but they were asked a very specific question, have you
guys found anything? And the answer to the have you

(15:41):
guys found anything? The answer was, Oh, yeah, we found stuff.
We found something. People were like, Oh, come on, what
are they They're hyping this. This isn't real, This isn't happening.
None of this is real. They found stuff. They said
it was in the burn bags. They said the burn
bags were in a room that nobody had gone into,
or somebody had tried to secret or somebody had tried
to do that sort of stuff, And so as a

(16:02):
consequence of that, why would you why would you go
run with that immediately? You wouldn't have to, especially if
it's like May first, May twenty fifth, whatever it is.
We're basically at the end. We're basically at the end
of this cycle. So why, why, oh, why would they
have sat on it. I don't think they were sitting

(16:24):
on it. I think they went through all the papers
and I think they said, this is a big deal,
all caps. FBI director Cash Patel found sensitive docs on
Trump Russia probe buried in the burn bags. Here's a
little pull from it, okay. Sources close to Patel said

(16:45):
the FBI used a burn bag system to destroy sensitive
documents designated classified or higher. Multiple bags with thousands of
documents were reportedly found in the secret room used by
the former FBI director Say It with Me, Jimmy Comy

(17:07):
and his agents for the Crossfire Hurricane probe. Patel also
reportedly found the classified annex to former Special Counsel John
Durham's final report, which included the underlying intelligence he reviewed.
You know what this means. This means that they thought
they were gonna put Donald Trump in jail, and they

(17:29):
got sloppy and they didn't clean up after themselves. News

(17:53):
Talk eleven ten, not a nine three WBT. It's the
Brettwinnable Show. Good to be with You seven oh four
five seven eleven ten. So I got this nice comment.
I think this is a really good take. The guy
says to me, I'm driving. I don't know who his
name is, so I can't you know, you'll just call
you seven sixty six because that's your last digits. Thank you.
I've known too many arrogant people and narcissists in my

(18:16):
own life. These things, when you deal with these people,
become glaringly evident. Have a terrific day, and thank you.
I mean they look, this is this is what's going
on here. These people didn't think they were gonna get caught.
Can you imagine that. That's like robbing a bank and
being like, Ah, I'm gonna put my prints all over
it and no one's gonna really do anything about it,

(18:37):
so I'm just gonna go ahead and be a smooth criminal.
I mean, this is this is this is crazy stuff, right,
I mean, this is this is just straight out nutty
all the way around. A lot of people have been
grousing about President Trump and the fir rings. Right, Remember,
once upon a time you had a bunch of people

(18:59):
that were getting a shot out of the jobs. They
were they were done. It was over. What if I
told you that more than one hundred and fifty thousand
federal workers accepted Trump's resignation incentivesh I thought it was terrible.
They were going to be on the street. They were starving.

(19:22):
They were just eating dry ramen noodles. I mean, it
was like, what are we supposed to do? A new
government estimate, along with a study by the nonprofit Partnership
for Public Service, provides a long, weighted window into the
scale of the departures. Eileen Sullivan reporting from Washington, the

(19:44):
Trump administration is paying about one hundred and fifty four
thousand employees not to work as a result of a
novel resignation incentives offered to federal workers since Inauguration Day.
The government's Human Resource arm said on Thursdays, I'd be today.
That estimate is the first comprehensive disclosure from the government

(20:09):
about the scale of President Trump's effort to downsize the
federal workforce. Still still, the figure represents just a portion
of the total number of workers who have left the
federal government since the beginning of the Trump administration only

(20:30):
those who accepted and offer to resign early in exchange
for many months of pay. It does not include the
thousands of people who were laid off or fired. While
the Trump administration has not made public a complete picture
of the cuts, the work of mister Trump and his

(20:52):
Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk amounts to the
largest reduction to the federal world workforce in the modern era.
The government employed roughly two point three million non military
workers at the start of the year. A spokesperson, a

(21:16):
spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management, said that as
of June, about one hundred and fifty four thousand had
resigned or retired early with the promise of being paid
through September thirtieth or December thirty first, depending on the offer.
The Washington Post reported the figure earlier. The Partnership for

(21:38):
Public Service, a nonprofit that works to promote best practices
in the federal government, had estimated the total number of departures,
voluntarily resignations, layoffs, and firings to be about one hundred
and forty eight thousand as of July. Wow You missed it.
You missed the number. You only got one forty eight.

(22:00):
He got one fifty four. You keep under estimating Donald
John Trump, President USA. The organization relied on agency announcements,
court filings, and worst of all, worst of all media

(22:22):
reports to track the departures. It calculated the number of
separations from the resignation incentive programs to be about eighty thousand,
which is seventy four thousand less than the administration's count.
The disparity underscores how little information the administration has disclosed

(22:45):
about the scale and scope of the separations. Well, why
are you supposed to find out how many and how
and when and where and who and all the why
do you have to have all those numbers? By the way,
did anybody see did anybody see an increase in unemployment?

(23:06):
Because these people are still getting paid, they're just not
showing up. They're getting paid right now. And the fact
of the matter is, you know, there's gonna be people
double dipping. They're gonna be getting paid, and they're gonna
be working. They're probably starting a consultation, they're probably doing
this sort of stuff that they can do. And you
know what, good on you. That's great. If you don't

(23:28):
like the Trump administration, why would you want to work
for the Trump administration? Then you take your money and
you go home. We're dealing with a pitch black battlefield.
Oh could you be more you know, dramatic. We're dealing
with a pitch black battlefield where there is enormous carnage
growing every day, and there's little pen lights providing us

(23:51):
some visibility in terms of what is happening, said Max Steyer,
the chief executive of the partnership. And we need a
flood light. Can't you just hear this guy? This is
how the guy is done, I promise you. In the

(24:12):
interview it goes like this. Well, let me just say,
we're dealing with a pitch black battlefield where there is
enormous carnage growing every day, and there's little pen lights
providing us some visibility in terms of what's happening, and
we need a flood light. No, you don't. These people

(24:32):
decided they wanted to leave. They could have been fired.
He could have offered them nothing. He could have said
too bad, how sad, Call your dad. But he let
these people go with dignity. And now now mister Stier
says this has been a waste creation exercise. This is
why we can't have nice governments. This is why because

(24:57):
of the partnership Republican Service, it estimates that nearly twenty
one hundred employees have been fired or left the department.
What department are you talking about, American Federation of Government Employees,
the union that represents the Education Department workers affected by
the terminations. Well, guess what, you could just go out
there right now and you can go put in your paperwork,

(25:18):
and you can go and start teaching tomorrow. You probably
go out and start teaching in two weeks. You can
just go out there and be a teacher, be a sub.
You'd be able to get a double triple dime. I mean,
come on, now, what's wrong with you? The fact of
the matter is this has become something of a non story.
They're not even banging and clanking the pots and pans

(25:41):
in the park anymore. Why is that so hot, so lucrative,
so lucratively hot. News Talk eleven WBT. Listen, I just

(26:05):
before we get back on the air, I just know
Jim today. Okay, I don't want any Jim today, So
all right, let's go ahead and check in with Oh, Jim, Hey,
welcome to the show. Jim, what's on your mind?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Totally understandable on abusing my privilege? Absolutely, Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Now I got a question for you. Let me. I'm
gonna I'm gonna ask you a question before you ask
me what you want to talk about? Okay, and it's this,
do you okay? Do you remember do you remember back
in the day when we were drawing down the troops
and we were drawing down the military assets that we
had because of the Cold War being over and we

(26:46):
had the peace dividend? Do you remember that? Jim?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay. Were there like concerns for how these military folks
were gonna make ends meet down the way and were
there were there mark and protests and all that sort.
Did in other words, did the left look out for
the UH for for the folks who were out there
on the on the danger line as opposed to you know,

(27:11):
the the the elites here that are that are now complaining.
Can can you break that down for me?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
No, there was no concern whatsoever about how people were
going to get by. There was so much prosperity that
the UH going on in the civilian world that there
was a lot of people. As I recall a lot
of people that were in the military that were were
weighing their decision to give up their retirement go into

(27:39):
a private industry because there was so many lucrative opportunities
at the time. So it was a totally different thing.
If you make opportunity available for people, you won't have
to march and protest and cry and complain that somehow
they're going to be losing out.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Okay, they have plenty.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Of options then, uh, for success and fraternity and prosperity.
Then you don't have to you know, you don't have
to fake outrage that right being denied something? Okay, just right,
so they know that that's how the real world should work,
and real work. That's the dystopian narrative has always been

(28:21):
disrupted by anything that looks like opportunity, which, uh, which
makes me what I think, Why when you have people
like Mark Zuckerberg who are looking at making trillions.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Of dollars yes with AI, Yes.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Why don't they you know, why is that allowed? Why
is he not an oligarch?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
But well, that's because he he runs in the right circles.
You know, he runs in the right circles. Now here's
the second question. Here's the second question for petroleum. Okay,
here's the second question. And then and then you can
have your answer when you want to ask me, did
you burn your bags? Did you burn your burn bags
every time you were supposed to burn the burn bags?
Because I these things are just been showing up in

(29:04):
this an accent. It's just really kind of interesting. I
would have thought that burning the burn bags was the
point of the exercise.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
It's called a chain of custody. That is the backbone
of any secure classified document movement. Obviously, they have to
be stood destroyed to the shelf life or the timeline
that they enjoy, and then they have to go. It
could be twenty years or could be twenty seconds, it
depends on what it is. But the chain of custody

(29:33):
is put right there on the bag. It'll usually it
goes to a civilian contractor and they put it on
their truck. They load up the truck as much as
they can. My theory, what I think when I heard
about this was that they loaded up the truck as
much as they could and there was some left over.
So somebody who is a military official, Pentagon official, is

(29:56):
that where was that pentagon.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, no, it was the f I.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
It was the FBI.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, Tomy's office. It was Comy's office.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
They just said, okay, just put it over here for now,
it'll be secure here. And then either they forgot or
whoever decided to divert from the truck was full, or
even if it wasn't full, if he decided that that
those documents had to be diverted, that's who you look for, Okay, guy,

(30:25):
that was the FBI agent that said put those over here,
and then find out if he knew what he knew,
when he knew knew it, and did he know it
before he burned it?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
You know what that it's very interesting the way you
say that, because you know, Camy might have just found
them on a beach with some shells.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
That's probably what those are.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Go ahead the next topic, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
That laughter that hyena like laughter.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's not hyena like. That's not hyena like. It's it's
it's come.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Out Harris hyena like. No, we're just we're just the
same kind of laughter. Because we have some very good
news out here today. We just learned about it.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Wait, hold on, yes, what is it? Okay, tell me
what tell me the good news that that you learned today?
What is it?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yes, the Kamala Harris has decided that she's not going
to run for governor the next time around, and she
has her own reasons. Have you heard what her reasons are?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I have not heard her reasons. No, please enlighten me.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, her reasons are her own personal reasons. That she
got advice from people and she decided that it wasn't
uh in her best interest and that she was going
to focus on helping the candidates out for the campaigns,
for the campaign races. Really that's where her best Yes,
But the reality is that it's all about the Benjamins

(31:56):
and the Bolshevik Benjamins that fueled her life campaign are
not there. They're not picking up the phone. She tried
to reach out, see her her odds are, see what
her Yeah, you know who would back her? And the
answer came back the same as mister blue Tarski zero
point zero.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Wait a minute, she put down the phone. Way, that's
it over, Johnny, It's over, Johnny, it's over. Nothing is over,
and nothing is over. They drew first blood. Well, I mean, come.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
On, yeah, her political career is over, all.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Right, So here's the thing. No, she's gonna run. She's
gonna run in twenty twenty eight. That's what's happening. She's
she's you know, she's mounting that that campaign, and I
think she's gonna be a real go get her She's
no doubt about it. She's going to be the person
that's uh, you know, number one on the line there
because she was the last person who was the nomination

(32:53):
for the Democratic Party and they like to go with
those strict deals. So Jim, a wonderful outing here today,
and I'm very happy that that you were able to
break some news about Kamala Harris not running for the governorship.
That was really good stuff, my friend.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm glad you're as happy as we are out here.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Now. Well you can enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
It will still be in the same Well.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Let me just tell you, don't overlook some of those candidates.
And I'm telling you, I think you might really enjoy
Antonio Villa Ragosa as your governor, So you know, you
never know.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I don't know, coll what was that? That was like
the weirdest sign off ever. It was just a what
news talk eleven ten, I three w VT.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
I understand women who have Power and Money.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
News Talk eleven ten. I had three w b T.
It's the Brett Winerbull Show, all right. I want to
do a deep dive into some of the policies that
are out there, and I want to start with one
of your favorite people. And I know you you don't
want to acknowledge it, but I know how much you
like her. Nancy Pelosi getting angry at Jake Tapper on

(34:50):
the question of insider trading. Cut nine. Please.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
I wanted to give you a chances to respond. He
accused you of insider trading. What's your response to that?

Speaker 7 (34:59):
That'sdiculous. In fact, I very much support the stop the
trading of members of Congress, not that I think anybody's
doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted and
they go to jail. But because of the competency in
stills in American people don't worry about this. But I
have no concern about the obvious investments that have been

(35:24):
made over time.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I'm not into it. My husband is.

Speaker 7 (35:27):
But it isn't anything to do with anything inside her.
But the president has his own exposure, so he's always projecting.
He's always projecting, and let's not give him any more
time on that.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
Please.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
We're going forward here, and I'm very proud of my family.
And while he might make fun of us, while somebody
inspired by him breaks into our home and HiT's my
husband in a deadly fashion, hits my husband over the head,
and he thinks that's a riot, I'd rather not go
into some of my other complaints about him right now,
rather to talk about the sixtieth anniversary of Medicaid and

(36:01):
medicare what a triumph.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
She's worth four hundred and ten million dollars. Yeah, not
that there's anything wrong with that, not that there's anything
wrong with that, but yeah, four hundred and ten million dollars.
That's big. That is fifty four. She's her positions are

(36:27):
stronger than any of the big positions that are out
there in terms of being right on your picks. Wow,
that's awesome. She should write a book. A lot of
people could get rich. So, Josh Hawley. You may not
like Josh Hawley. I like Josh Haley. Josh Holly is
a guy who's very earnest. He's serious about what we've

(36:49):
got in front of us, and he wants he wants
to stop the insider trading that goes on in the
in the Capitol, and so Josh Hawley puts forth a
bill to stop people from spending their days getting free information.
Cut number four, please go.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
We have an opportunity here today to do something that
the public has wanted us to do for decades, and
that is to ban members of Congress from profiting on
information that frankly, only members of Congress have in the
buying and selling of stock. Eighty six percent of Americans
say that members of Congress should not be able to
buy and sell shares of stock individual stock while they

(37:34):
are members of this body. And they are absolutely correct.
And the reason is, you can see it. There was
just another ethics referral in the House last week. We've
seen the former Speaker of the House make millions of
dollars in profits. We've seen members of both parties, I'm
sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades. And
the reason for all of this is is that, quite frankly,
members of this body are privy to information that the

(37:56):
normal person just is not. Now is that insider trading?
It is not under the laws. Sometimes people say, what we
already have insid our trading laws. We don't need a
stock band. Well, the information that members of Congress are
privy to is technically not covered by the insider trading laws,
but nobody really believes that the information that we get
isn't valuable. It is quite valuable. Which is why back

(38:16):
during COVID you saw members of Congress of both parties
engage in a flurry of stock trading right after they
were getting COVID briefings. We're members of the public getting
those briefings.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
They were not.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
We're members of the public privy to the kind of
information that was being given to members of Congress. No,
they were not. And so when you look at what
members of Congress are privy to, what they are able
to trade on the access that they have, it's just
qualitatively different than your average Joe or Jane. Which is
why we ought to put into place common sense guardrails

(38:48):
that say, if you want to be a member of Congress,
you can put your to you want to say, great,
you can buy mutual funds, you can buy broadly diversified
investment vehicles. You should not be able to buy and
trade into visual stock shares, in which, frankly, we have
an interest in the work that we do. We have
information that no other people get. No, the members of
the public have. This bill would finally readdress that it

(39:10):
is in substance identical to the bill that the committee
passed last year, and I believe it was a huge
step forward and finally addressing this problem. I urge a
yes vote.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Well you're going to get a no vote from Rick
Scott from Florida, Cut number five. Please, so how do
you do it?

Speaker 8 (39:27):
I mean, I just, I just I don't understand how.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
You sell it?

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Are you asking me, Sirer Sca?

Speaker 8 (39:40):
So in here there's a requirement.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
This is the same. This is the same You're concerned
about the liquid asset provision, right, So I just want
to it's the same one you voted for last year.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
So how's it work?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
So what's identical the one you voted for in committee
last year? So it hasn't been changed.

Speaker 8 (39:57):
Well, maybe we should go through better understand it.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
I just want to be clear that it hasn't changed
since you voted for it last year.

Speaker 8 (40:05):
Okay, Okay, does anybody is a Can anybody explain how
the liquid illiquid? How you sell an ill liquid asset?
If you can't sell an acid is I liquid because
you can't sell it?

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah? Yeah, well you know, I think you could probably
work around that. If that's what's what's hanging you up.
Ron Johnson, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. He ain't playing, he
ain't gonna do nothing. Here we go.

Speaker 9 (40:34):
You could relabel this law, quite honestly, the Career Politician
Protection Act. It's because it'll make it so unattractive for
people to give up their business sell it unless the
some ethics committee says, oh no, there won't be a
conflict of interest. I mean there's there's when we pass
a tax law that lowers tax rates, we all benefit.

(40:57):
It's just an inherent it's just an inherent issue. So again,
we have plenty protections, we have the disclosure. This is
a completely unnecessary piece of legislation. It's going to create
all kinds of unintended consequences. Center Scott just pointed out
one of them, just one of them. So again I
voted no last time. I'm as strong no this time,

(41:19):
even stronger this time.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Nancy Pelosi's applauding you. Josh Holly Cutt number seven, Josh,
how do you say it? What do you do? How
do we do it?

Speaker 6 (41:27):
Go Land is not an illiquid investment. It is not
is explicitly exempted under the bill. The bill defines illiquid
investments as an interest in private funds. Land is not
considered as such. Number one, number two Senator Paul brought
up the hypothetical that if you're someone who's running for
office and the stock market tanks as soon as you

(41:49):
get into office, you're stuck. Well, what this bill does,
because people like Senator Paul and others have asked over
and over for fairness, time to comply. It says that
current office holders the terms of the bill will take
effect upon the beginning of their next term. So, in
that hypothetical the Senator Paul just raised, that you find
yourself suddenly locked into a six year term, you have

(42:10):
to sell. You would not have to You would have
six years to comply. This is the same treatment for
all office holders. Members of congre members of the House,
it will take effect upon the beginning of their next term.
If they're re elected, Members of the Senate, it will
take effect upon the beginning of.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Their next term.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
If they're re elected the President of vice president will
take effect upon the beginning of their next term, and
so on. So everyone is treated the same in that respect,
they're allowed to come into compliance. And that speaks to
the blind trust provisions. If you currently have a blind
trust and you are a member of this body, you
have until the beginning of your next term and then
one hundred and eighty days after that to meet the
divestment requirements.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Okay, I go back.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
The bill passed. It passed out of the committee, and
this is going to go to the floor, and then
we're gonna see the fun Nancy Pelosi cut number no, no, no,
not cut number and cut number eight. The President of
the United States cut number eight.

Speaker 10 (43:05):
Well, I like it conceptually. I don't know about it,
but I like it conceptually. And you know, Nancy Pelosi
became rich by having inside information. She made a fortune
with her husband, and I think that's disgraceful. So in
that sense, i'd like it, but I'd have to really
see the I you know, I study these things very carefully,
and this just happened, so I'll take a look at it.

(43:27):
But conceptually I like it. And what I do think
is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because what she has
the highest return of anybody practically in the history of
Wall Street, save a few and how did that happen?
It happened by she knows exactly what's going to happen,
what's going to be announced, You buy stock and then

(43:49):
the stock goes up after the announcements met, and she
had to be investigated.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
So you, ladies and gentlemen, the question for you do
you like this? Say you like it or say you don't?
News Talk eleven ten, do a nine three WBT Brett

(44:17):
Winnable Show, Good to be with you guys, seven four
five seven eleven ten. A lot of stuff going on.
I mean there there's there's just such a massive amount
of content that that we can talk about. Let me
let me take you to this. This is this is
something that this feels like it's a scam, but I

(44:43):
know it's not because it's coming from Iran. Okay, So
money grab, Okay, money grab is the headline over at Breitbart.
Iran wants the US to pay compensation in ext for
future talks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Agrachi repeated his demand

(45:12):
that the United States pay some form of compensation for
bombing the nation's illicit nuclear sites in an interview published Thursday,
stating that Tehran has zero appetite for resuming talks with
the West. Careful what you wish for, Just be careful.

(45:33):
The Iranian Islamist regime regularly demands compensation for a variety
of actions that the United States has taken in the
past decade to protect itself from Iranian terrorism. Iran's regime
controlled courts have demanded outlandish sums of money from Washington
for targeted attacks against its top terrorist commanders, insisting that

(45:58):
the nation fell victim to unwarranted military action. Agraci similarly
described Donald Trump's decision to approve air strikes on the
Iranian nuclear facilities as inexplicable aggression against a peaceful state.
In reality, Iran has long maintained the title of world's

(46:23):
most foremost state sponsor of terrorism and fueled violence through
the Middle East, including Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and in
South America. People always overlook South America as a target.
There was a terrible attack in nineteen ninety four in
Buenos Aires where they targeted Jews, and it was a

(46:46):
horrible attack that that came to pass with The Iranian
Foreign Minister made his remarks to The Financial Times addressing
Trump's air strikes on June twenty first, the President delivered
a national address in which he stated that he ordered
the targeted attacks on nuclear enrichment facilities at Isfahan, Natans,

(47:08):
and Fordoh. It was believed to be Iran's largest uranium
enrichment facilities. Trump said that the sites were completely and
totally obliterated and that the move was necessary in response
to the United Nations Nuclear Agency revealing that Iran had

(47:30):
escalated its enrichment far beyond what would be necessary for
any conceivable civilian use, posing a major threat to America's
allies and the allies in the region and the world.
Now here's your acid test. Okay, the acid test is
very easy. Show me all of the countries around Iran

(47:56):
that are losing their minds because Iran's nuclear program bombed
zero zero these folks, these folks absolutely are happy that
the Iranians don't have the nuclear capacity right now, because
they would use it on any one of them. Saudi Arabia,

(48:20):
I mean, the only country you could possibly point to
it would be houthi Stan, right, it would be Yemen
and and just one sliver of Yemen, right, so so
that would be the only country. I don't even think
I mean, and honestly, I don't even think that that
the Hesbos are are part of this. Like they got

(48:43):
they got hammered by those pagers that the Israeli sent
into to deal with the problems there. But but I
don't I don't know a single country. Maybe maybe North Korea.
Probably North Korea is probably one of the people who
would say that we should pay them and they can
go pound sand because I don't care. Agrochi told the

(49:07):
Financial Times, according to the summary in the Iranian state
news press Press TV, that the airstrikes had eroded trust
in America from its superiors. Wow. Really, that's about as
shocking ass as when al Qaeda got all upset because

(49:27):
we killed ben Laden. They were really mad about it.
They didn't ask for money from us. Only Iran would
do this. It's freaky. It doesn't make any sense. They
should explain why they attacked us in the middle of negotiations,
and they have to ensure that they are not going
to repeat that during future talks. Well, you are one

(49:50):
hundred percent guaranteed not to be bombed again as long
as you don't go and try to reconstitute your nuclear program.
If you reconstitute nuclear program, you know what happens, You
get slapped, and we're not going to pay you money.
By the way, I would make this argument, and I

(50:10):
think you could basically take this to the bank. Those facilities, right,
those facilities were surgically struck underground where you don't have
to worry about leakage and things like that that could
happen if they decided to build this stuff above ground

(50:35):
and we bombed it. That would have been a potentially
dangerous situation. But the United States and the Western Allies
are the only countries that will put American assets, NATO
assets in harm's way to protect innocent people. The Iranians

(50:58):
do not do that. Hasbola does not do that. I
mean this, The reality of this is we will go
out of our way to put our pilots, our military
in harm's way to protect innocent people. You would never

(51:19):
see that, ever, see that coming out of the Iranian regime.
It's unbelievable. The bodies of the bodies News Talk eleven ten,

(51:45):
ninety nine three WBT Brettwaterboll Show, Get to Be with
You seven oh four five seven eleven ten. As we
continue to soldier on looking at all sorts of stuff,
oh we got it. We got we got some messages
coming in our way. Okay, so we should we Uh,
let's check in this message. Let's see what we got. Uh.
Steven Indian Trail likes it. He likes it. Let's see

(52:06):
what else we say you like? You could say you
like it. You're allowed to say you like it. Here's
another one. Let's see, I got loving it. Rain in
the corruption, Yes, that is correct. We have got to
get rid of the corruption. We've got to just run
the corruption right out, Wayne says. So, why then, Nancy

(52:28):
Pelosi made all those millions of dollars on information that
she had about things happening in Congress? Why did Martha
Stuart go to jail over basically the same thing. Martha
Stewart went to jail because they considered it inside her trading.
And I think that any politician who has information about

(52:50):
a stock or a bill that is coming down the
pipeline that is going to affect the stock should not
be allowed to trade actively and that stock. I agree
with you on that one. That's good, Hey, Brett, tax
their returns, I mean the stock returns from Liz. That's
really good. I like that too. And what else have

(53:12):
we got here, we got we got Obama's American money palettes,
no palettes full of money that he's going back to
the Iranian issue there, which is a very important issue
as well. This story is even worse if you can
imagine that the money grab was a bad was a

(53:33):
bad story. Get a load of this. I don't even
I amaze myself with some of the stuff that I
stumble upon, and it's only because I've got the right
number of feeds coming into my into my prep. So
this is a real story. This is not this is

(53:54):
not any bs. This is a real story. Cartel members.
So cartel members who are from the cartels fought in
Ukraine to learn drone skills. Okay, so remember when the

(54:18):
war broke broke out between Putin and Zelensky, Zelenski and
so Zelenski needed help. So at one point you had
people going over to Ukraine and volunteering to be fighting
for the Ukrainian forces against the Russians. And it was

(54:38):
kind of, you know, romantic, and it was one of
those kind of things like, oh my gosh, look everybody's
going over there to get involved in to be a
part of this. And then they realized they were fighting
against Russian troops, and they were also fighting against mercenaries
who were incredibly vicious and dangerous. Obtaining hands on experience
in how to employ FPV drones as weapons in Ukraine

(55:02):
could radically speed up the learning curve for Mexican cartels.
This is Howard Altman over at TWZ and so it
goes like this. First person view FPV attack drones have
been so successful in Ukraine that now Mexican drug cartels

(55:26):
are reportedly seeking first hand lessons on the best practices.
Intelligence agencies in Kiev and Mexico City are investigating whether
kartel members fighting on behalf of Ukraine are doing so
to learn more about how to run the FPV the
first person view operations. According to Intelligence Online and a

(55:51):
French investigative news outlet, learning how to operate and maintain
FPV drones from the world's leading press practitioners could drastically
speed up the learning curve for the cartels, which are
in the early stages of using these weapons. So did

(56:14):
did we I don't remember did we send drones to Ukraine?
Because MSNBC was crying on TV and Morning Joe and
CNNNN and all the all the cable channels and right,
we sent a bunch of We sent a bunch of
weapons over to Ukraine to fight the Russians. The investigation

(56:40):
centers on cartel members who allegedly joined Ukraine's International Legion,
created at the beginning of the all out war to
allow foreigners to fight against Russia. And there's a photograph
of the folks waving Mexican flag in black and white.

(57:02):
Faces are pixelated. You can't see who they are, but
this is apparently a story that is out there that
people are working on. As a result, the Ukrainian Defense
Intelligence Directorate the g u R, launched an investigation of
several Spanish speakers who had joined units attached to the

(57:26):
second Squadron of the g u R International Legion, including
the Tactical Group Ethos, a semi clandestine unit operating in
the Donbas and kharkivs Oblasts Intelligence Online also claimed that
investigators are looking into whether members of the Revolutionary Armed

(57:51):
Forces of Colombia the FARC that's the cartel down in Colombia,
not Columbia Carolina, Columbia, Columbia, joined the International Legion for
similar purposes. They reached out to SBU G u r
CNI for comment and they'll update this story when they

(58:13):
get more in that picture. But isn't that interesting? Isn't
that interesting? We never really learned the lessons that need
to be learned, because if you go back to the
days of the Soviets invading Afghanistan, and that was back when.

(58:34):
I mean, people don't necessarily know this, but this is
actually a true fact. You know, Mika Brazinski who's on MSNBC,
her father was an advisor, a very senior advisor to
Jimmy Carter, a national security advisor to Jimmy Carter, and
he was the guy who went over to Afghanistan and

(58:56):
strapped up all of the Mujahadeen with missile launchers and
they were able to take those shoulder fired rockets and
knock down Soviet tanks and Soviet aircraft. And what ended
up happening was once we got into the other side

(59:20):
of the war, meaning after nine to eleven, we were
then potentially going to be targeted by that same kind
of weaponry. So that is basically what's happening here. The
weapon itself is a neutral thing. It's what you use
that neutral thing for that becomes incredibly dangerous. And so

(59:42):
isn't it kind of interesting to see that the FPV
drones are being utilized by the international cartels for what purpose?
Knocking down down knocking down planes, knocking down people?

Speaker 11 (01:00:03):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
All right? This is a something that kind of has me, uh,
kind of con I just I don't understand why people
will go so hard to work to get high, Like
people will do incredibly stupid things to get high. And
I've never I've never been like the high guy. I've

(01:00:40):
never been like, I don't I'm not a drug guy.
I've never been a drug guy. And and the one
thing that always kind of gets me is the stuff
that you can buy at gas stations, not sushi, not sushi,
but some of this stuff is so weird. US health

(01:01:04):
officials are cracking down on kratom KRATM. They're cracking down
on kratam related products after complaints from supplement industries. The
US Health officials are warning Americans about the risks of
an opioid related ingredient increasingly added to energy drinks, gummies,

(01:01:31):
and supplements sold at gas stations and convenience stores. The
chemical is known as I don't even know how to
pronounce this seven hydromitra gin, a component of kratam, a
plant native to Southeast Asia, has gained popularity in the

(01:01:55):
US as an unapproved treatment for pain, anxiety, and drug dependence.
What stop? First of all, Okay, this is the analogy
that I have used many times when talking to people
who are very excited about getting drugs, like going and

(01:02:16):
getting No, I'm not talking about pharmaceuticals. I'm talking about, Hey,
let's go buy some drugs. Okay, Number one? Number one,
I can, I can? I can wean people off of
this immediately. So imagine you are in a park, you're
minding yourself. You're in the park, and a guy comes
up to you and says, hey, man, you really want

(01:02:40):
something good? Sure, what have you got? I got an
egg salad sandwich. Oh, I'll give it to you for
like four bucks. Are you going to eat the aforementioned
egg salad sandwich that that guy has in his pocket
for four dollars? Are you going to actually do that?
You're not going to actually do that. You want to

(01:03:02):
know why you're not going to actually do that, because
who the heck knows where it comes from, how long
he's had it in his pocket. Sometimes they have to
stuff at someplace that's not too opportune, and you probably
are sitting back there going what is going on here?
This is why you ought to just use that analogy

(01:03:22):
when it comes to drugs. Now, the last thing I'm
gonna do. Maybe I'll get a gatorade at a convenience store.
Maybe I'll get a pack of Hubbah bubba. Maybe I'll
get myself some beef jerky. Okay, no problem. Excuse me.

(01:03:45):
Do you have any chemical altering drugs that I could
purchase from you right now? And by the way, I'm
looking for something between this price point and the other
price but I'm absolutely not doing that. Oh oh you
know what, let me uh seven bath salts and then
some other stuff that I'm gonna use to come on,

(01:04:08):
you never have a headache and you're like, God, I
need some create. I don't even know what this is.
This stuff is like it's it's obviously it's this is
what this is. Right. This is the attempt to and
I'm gonna make up a word, dumbify the American people,
because the it's not just the American people, it's everybody.

(01:04:30):
You will go to incredible lengths to get high, and
it makes no sense. Okay, it's like you just you're like, ah,
you know what I think I'm gonna do tonight? Well,
what are you gonna do tonight? I'm gonna go. Here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna I'm gonna get myself
a merry go Round and I'm gonna hook it up

(01:04:52):
to my engine and I'm gonna let it spin me
around until I fly off the merry go Round? Why
would any what do you want to do that? It
just doesn't make any sense. So like I'm I just
I look at these people and I go, what do you?
What do you the what American people and people generally
will do to try to get high is unbelievable. The

(01:05:15):
world is an incredible place. It's an incredible place. But
in recent months, dietary supplement companies that sell kratmkradam create
them up, create them up right there, put them in
a box. That's what you gotta do, right to just
crate them up all right there. The FDA is like,

(01:05:38):
don't use this stuff, portraying it as a dangerously concentrated
synthetic form of the original ingredient. I like, this is
really bad because you just don't know what's gonna happen.
The agency said that it was releasing a report to
educate on the risks of seven to Oh what the
heck is seven?

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
That's sounds like somebody just won the baseball game. Hey
we won seven. Oh No, we don't want the seven. Oh,
that's not what we want. And it's distinction from the
create them up plant leaf. Regulators are also recommending that

(01:06:21):
the ingredient be placed on the federal government's most restrictive
list of illegal drugs that include LSD and heroin. Yeah, yeah,
I I this We're gonna buy that. Sure, No, not today,
not today, not ever. Come on, I mean, this is

(01:06:42):
not this is not good cold. Could you just take
that money, Just take the money that you're gonna save
up by not doing narcotics that will kill you, and
instead go join a gym. Join a gym, Join a
gym with Jim, Join a gym with Jim and Swallwell.

(01:07:04):
They're on the West coast. They'll show you around. What
was what was he what was he pumping last night?

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
What was what was Swalwell pumping? What was that number?
A meager one five, A one thirty five? Hey, listen,
one thirty five. It could be worse, it could be
like twenty two. But his one thirty five. Listen, I'm
not judging. I'm not judging one thirty five. Somebody's got

(01:07:33):
to start someplace. That's probably just that's probably just one
arm right, one thirty five, one arm. Yeah, he looked
like it was full exertion, and he videoed himself doing that.
He thought it was really cool. So he was so
so Swallwell, he's not doing the people's needs. He's he's
pumping iron one thirty five each arm, right, one thirty

(01:07:56):
five each arm. No, no, that was those two arms
full body.

Speaker 11 (01:08:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Really not impressive. What a shifty shift pump? Yeahy ideas,
not iron shifty shift. I just want to know, I go,
how much? What is he pumping over there? I'm guessing
I'm guessing he's going, Uh, he looks like a leg man,
and I think I think he's pushing like seven fifty
boom on the legs in an inclined position, going trump like,

(01:08:25):
you know, that's what he's doing, that's what he's doing.
He's got him on his mind. Twenty four seven, three
sixty five. He's going, my bad, I don't know we
got another great hour straight ahead. I'm gonna talk about mom. Dammy. Oh,
he's got himself in a heap of trouble. He's got
a self in a heap of trouble. News Talk eleven

(01:08:57):
ten nine nine three WBT. Okay, so we got some
commentary coming in our way. Thune and Johnson are blocking
recess appointments by letting their branches meet, while in recess,
both parties suck equally. We also have been told that
the Taliban was the third government after the Soviets left.
They killed off the moujah Haden. Yes, that is accurate.
You are correct in that regard. We've also got long

(01:09:21):
a kray tom Okay, I got that. We checked off
that one on the line. And of course, most of
the drugs that come from China anyway, so we're already
playing Russian Roulette with our health. Aren't we playing Russian
Roulette with Chinese drugs? I don't know that makes a
lot of sense. I don't know what's going on here.
I want to start this hour with an homage to

(01:09:42):
a person that I think is unworthy of becoming the
next mayor of the City of New York, and that
is ladies and gentlemen, Zorn Mandami, this is a guy who, well,
let's be honest, this is a guy who thinks he's
got the answer for what ales the American people. The
problem is this, he is a socialist. He doesn't believe

(01:10:05):
in the importance of law enforcement. He doesn't spend as
much time as you would hope that he would try
to be a much better candidate. So I just want
you to hear something here from Mundami. Mundami, by the way,
just got back from his honeymoon. Did you guys know this.
He was on his honeymoon for ten days. For ten

(01:10:28):
days he was there in Uganda, and did you see
how he was being protected. Did you see how he's
being protected. Did you see how he's being protected? Well,
he was being protected very in vogue masks, masks on
the face, ak's in the hands, And I thought to
myself for a moment, well that's right on brand. He

(01:10:51):
is a socialist. He is a communist. So of course,
the thugs, the thugs that are out there who are
carrying AK forty sevens, probably don't want their faces shown
on TV, probably don't want to be looked at. But
the fact of the matter is he's so on brand
as a socialist that he goes with the Soviet model

(01:11:13):
machine gun. He's not carrying an M four, he's not
carrying an M sixteen. He's not carrying any of that
stuff he's carrying and or his people are carrying AK
forty sevens. It's kind of an interesting thing when you
think about it. Well, he came back from his wedding
ten days. He's a very wealthy person. He does not

(01:11:35):
show much respect though, for the working class of New
York City. And so here is Momdami saying that these
are cynical politicians. Cut number one. They are cynical politicians
and they should understand that the American people want to
change in New York City. Cut one. Politicians are looking

(01:11:58):
to use.

Speaker 12 (01:12:01):
These days to score such cynical political points. On the
very day that I held the father of Officer Islam
in my arms as he could not utter a single word.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
The reality is this man is a hypocrite because this
man does not want law enforcement to have the best
skills and opportunities that they deserve. This is the problem
with this guy. He's going to turn New York City

(01:12:41):
into a flaming pile of garbage. This is the problem.
This is what you get when you look for the
socialist answer. How do I know, Well, all you have
to do, all you have to do very easy to understand.
Look up AOC. So you have to look up look

(01:13:03):
up AOC, and look up AOC's district and see what
has come to that part of the City of New York.
Open air drug markets, underage sex workers, all of that
stuff is happening in AOC's district. Now, why would anybody

(01:13:27):
want to see underage sex trafficking, open air drug markets,
criminality at every turn? Why would anybody want to live there?
Why would you want to live there? In that regard?
But Mamdami says that he's actually evolved. He says he's evolved.

(01:13:48):
This is cut number three. He's evolved after what happened
with this attack in New York City. Cut three.

Speaker 13 (01:13:56):
I'm not running to defund the police. Andrew Cuomo is
far more comfortable living his life in the past and
then attacking tweets of twenty twenty than in running against
the campaign that we have been leading for the last
eight months. I am, as was said by Henry earlier,

(01:14:21):
running as a candidate who is not fixed in time,
one that learns and one that leads. And part of
that means admitting, as I have grown, And part of
that also means focusing on the people who deserve to
be spoken about.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
What is he saying? What is he saying? He's saying
that he's not stuck in time, in time of what,
in time of crisis, in time of criminality, in time
of people not being safe on the streets. Eric Adams
is not a good candidate to be the mayor of

(01:15:06):
New York City. And Andrew Cuomo is not a guy
that you would want to be running New York City.
And Mandami is not a guy that you want running
New York City. And and I'm on the record of supporting
Curtis Sliwa because he wants to make the streets safer

(01:15:26):
and he's been dedicated to it for the last fifty years.
But listen to Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Cut number two.

Speaker 14 (01:15:34):
When you start dismantling the pieces of the law enforcement
apparatus that are specifically designed to carry out functions that
is extremely dangerous, they.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Are his words.

Speaker 9 (01:15:46):
And if he's embarrassed by his words, then he should
retract him.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
Now, I can't deny what Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo said.
As much as Andrew Cuomo is a laos and as
much as Eric Adams is over his head. But I'll
tell you this right now, all day, every day, I'll
take those two guys if I have to, I'll take
Curtis Leewad preferably. And this guy, this guy, Mamdami does

(01:16:15):
not have the answer because he doesn't believe in the
tenants of safety and security. He is just another trust
fund baby who decided that defunding the police is the
hip thing to do. And how many more must lose
their lives on the streets of the mean city of
New York. How many more must give up their lives

(01:16:39):
in this experiment that has gone awry. News Talk eleven ten,
nine nine three w BT. It's It's the Brett Winterable Show,

(01:17:01):
bringing back onto the program one of my favorite people
in the whole world. It is breaking Brett Jensen, who
is in Gastonia and who is covering the announcement by
Michael Wantley as the candidate for the seat that is
currently being held by Tom Tillis, and Brett Jensen joins us. Now,

(01:17:22):
Brett Jensen talk about what happened here today.

Speaker 15 (01:17:27):
Yeah, you know, it was being held in a very
historic mill in it's the old Firestone Plant. Now it's
called the lay Mill, but it's very historic because at
one point in the like the nineteen twenties and the
nineteen thirties, it was the largest factory square footage wise
under one roof in the entire world. It was the
largest mill factory in the entire world. And that's where

(01:17:50):
Michael Wantley held his big announcement today. And there are
a lot of obviously, as you would expect, friends and supporters,
but who was also there? Like National Meta was there?
Every TV station in Raleigh was there. A few TV
stations from Greensboro were there. I think most, maybe not all,
of the TV stations from Charlotte were there, which is
a little surprising.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
I was there.

Speaker 15 (01:18:12):
Obviously, others were there as well. Reporters from publications were there.
It was a big event. It was a very very
big event. And you know, they had a lot of
speakers and state legislators and state senators. And then when
he got up there and spoke, he's like, you know what,
I'm not using a teleprompter, and he just started going

(01:18:33):
just like you do every day without a teleprompter, just
like I do every day when we speak to the audience.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
He did the exact.

Speaker 15 (01:18:39):
Same thing and he spoke for probably fifteen to twenty
minutes today.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
That's great. Any particular highlighting thing that you're going to
be kind of focusing on the program.

Speaker 15 (01:18:54):
Yeah, so a couple of things happened today. So there's
the program, and I'm glad you asked. Is spread. There's
there's a lot of interviews. I got an interview with
state North counta State Senator brad Overcash who represents Gaston County,
North Carolina Legislator Donny Loftus, who represents Gaston County. And
you know, Michael Watley has lived in Gastonia, in Gaston
County since the late nineties and his wife is from here,

(01:19:17):
so that's why he chose Gastonia to make the announcement.
But I also was able to get the only interview
in the state of North Carolina one on one with
Michael Waltley, and so he spoke, and about fifteen minutes later,
I was able to finagle my way and was able
to sit down for a five minute one on one
interview with Michael Watley and that will also be playing tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Yeah. That and look, it's it's it's so important to
be able to hear, you know, the back and forth
and the elements there were there. Can you mention, I
don't want to I don't want to like blow everything
out of the water, because you know, I don't want to.
I don't want to push on on on something that
you want to keep keep a lid on. But on

(01:20:00):
the issue of endorsement by the President, what was the
nature of his commentary about President Trump being on board
with him on this?

Speaker 15 (01:20:14):
Yeah, you know, and he talked about that in his
speech to the crowd, and he said, look, you know,
he said all of this is being.

Speaker 4 (01:20:22):
Made possible because of Donald Trump.

Speaker 15 (01:20:24):
And you know, he said, he said, look, Donald Trump
has endorsed me, and I will be forever grateful.

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
And I even talked to.

Speaker 15 (01:20:31):
Him about that, you know, in our interview, I said,
what was that convert those private conversations like with you know,
President Trump concerning you know, endorsing you and getting you
to run for Senate. And he said, honestly, he said,
those were very very quick conversations. He said, you know,
once he told me he was endorsing me. I was
all in and I didn't want to let him down.

(01:20:53):
And so again he talked about there during his speech
that you know, again none of this would be possible
without Donald Trump, and talking about all the things that
he believes Donald Trump has done great for America, whether
it's immigration or the terroriffs, and how gasoline is down
and groceries are down and everything seems to be going
on the right track.

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
And you know, then he compared himself and to Governor Cooper.

Speaker 15 (01:21:15):
And one of the big things that he's talked about
Governor Cooper, he said, people may forget this, he said,
but the day after Joe Biden had his debate with
Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
And you know, we all know what a disaster that was.

Speaker 15 (01:21:30):
The day after Roy Cooper had Joe Biden in North
Carolina for a rally, and that's when Governor Cooper looked
at everyone and was basically, he is a sharp guy.
He's with it, he's mentally there, everything's great. And then
he drops out and on the first day endorses Kamala Harris.

(01:21:51):
He goes that tells you all you need to know
about Roy Cooper. He wasn't honest about, you know, Joe
Biden and the moment that he could switch, he immediately
switched and went even farther left with Kamala Harris.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
He goes, that's who Roy Cooper is.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Have a have a team? Have team? Cooper responded to
the entry into this race with Michael Watley.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
I haven't seen it yet, but I would be stunned.

Speaker 15 (01:22:20):
I haven't checked my emails yet, but I would be
absolutely stunned if the North Carolina Democrat Party, the National
Democrat Party, and Cooper himself haven't responded to Michael Wattley
getting into the race. And you know, you know, like
Beth Troutman asked me the other day on Tuesday, you know,
Roy Cooper's got a lot of skeletons. We know that,

(01:22:41):
but this, you know, what are they What are the
Democrats going to go after Michael Wattley at And the
only thing I could think of is that what he
got Trump elected?

Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
Like, is that what you're hanging your hat on? That
he helped get Trump elected?

Speaker 15 (01:22:53):
Because North Carolina went with Trump by over three points,
so and he won the national vote. You know, every
other you know, battleground state, but specifically North Carolina. He
was in North Krolinta by three points he went North
Carolina in twenty twenty. It was which was the only
battleground state to go to Trump in twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
He got Trump to victory in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 15 (01:23:14):
So if you're saying that Donald Trump is Michael Wattley's bugaboo,
well that's probably a feather in his cap.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
Indeed, indeed it is. All right, So you're gonna be
breaking all of this stuff down over the course of
your hour on the program. And I'm really really excited
to hear how it all went, how it all looked,
and what it sounded like. And this is going to
be really really great tonight. And I appreciate you making
time for us, my.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Friend, my pleasure. Brett, thanks a lot, buddy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
Oh, you're very welcome. That's breaking Brett Jensen. So you're
gonna definitely want to stay behind. You know, you're gonna
want to sit and listen to this interview because Brett
Jensen is able to pick up the most important stuff
and get those storylines moving. So that is going to
be a mandatory listening tonight. I'll be listening to it.

(01:24:06):
He'll be breaking it down for you, and we'll certainly
take a look at what is to come in the
next day or so. News Talk eleven ten, nine nine

(01:24:35):
three WBT, It's the Brett Winnable Show. Great to be
with you as we move on and look at a
couple other big stories that are out there happening now
at the at the very same time. So one of
the things that I dislike, and I'm just gonna level
with people here, Okay, I'm gonna I'm just gonna level

(01:24:55):
with you. I dislike swimming in warm water, like seventy
five degree water. I don't like swimming in water that's
that warm. And look, I don't necessarily like swimming when
the water's like forty eight degrees either. Okay, but this

(01:25:21):
kind of story that I'm gonna share with you is
exactly why I say I don't like swimming in very
warm water. Deadly flesh eating bacteria kills four in Louisiana. Suddenly,

(01:25:42):
suddenly I got new I got new followers on No,
don't swim where the water's hot. Don't swim where the
water's hot. You convince me, I'm with you. Health officials
urge caution amid summer spike in infections. I don't want

(01:26:03):
to swim in water that's gonna give me infections, Okay,
Like I can get an infection all by myself, usually
in the winter, and it's in my ear. Okay, but
I'm not going I'm not going to baton rouge Louisiana
to go get any of this. This is like so gross.

(01:26:28):
I'm sorry. I don't if you're eating a sandy just
you know, be cool. I don't want to freak anybody out.
Louisiana health officials are warning residents to take precautions after
a rise in a case of it sounds like a
filthy word. I'm sorry, Vibrio vulnificous. I can't come to

(01:26:52):
work tomorrow, Isaac. I got I got this thing that
I can't pronounce. But unfortunately it's not funny. It's a
deadly flesh eating bacteria found in warm coastal waters and
and for good measure, rossy food. So far, in twenty

(01:27:20):
twenty five, the Louisiana Department of Health has confirmed seventeen
Vibrio vulnificus's infections statewide. All required hospitalization, and four people

(01:27:41):
have died. Over the past decade, the state reportedly averaged
only seven cases and one death annually during the same period.
The bacteria can cause illness when an open wound, wound
is it's such you get that everybody's clenching their hands

(01:28:04):
in the studio because you just say an open wound,
and you're like, no, I'm gonna just lay in my
bed and coat myself with whatever I need to not
have an open wound. I have an open wound. Let's
go swim in warm water. So the bacteria can cause

(01:28:29):
illness when an open wound, Isaac is really about he's
about to run out of the room. Here is exposed
to coastal waters, or when a person eats raw or
undercooked seafood, particularly oysters. What month is this July? What

(01:28:55):
month is tomorrow? Is tomorrow? August? What do they say
about eating oysters? Don't ever do it? No, oysters are awesome?
Are they amazing? But they say oysters are in season? Okay,
that was always the saying about oysters. So in other words,

(01:29:17):
if it doesn't okay, May, June, July, August, September, if
it's got an R in it, you can eat them raw.
But that's like the old wives tale kind of a thing.
Right now, Theoretically you can eat oysters all year round,

(01:29:40):
because you can get stuff that's pei right, Prince Edward,
the Prince Edward Isles, which is cold water up above Maine.
You can get them. In Alaska. You can get them,
although I wouldn't do it in Alaska now because you
just had that tsunami thing happening and God only know,
oh what the heck is happening over there, But like,

(01:30:03):
you don't want to be down in Baja California going
serve them up. I got an open wound and a
dare I got a complete no, that's not what you do.
First of all, I love sushi, and I know I'm
the guy who just went off on kratm okay, but

(01:30:24):
I like sushi. Sushi is really good, but I'm not
gonna have it anywhere near an open wound or really
warm water. At that point, I'm like boiling it and
making clam chowder. Clams are great, They're amazing when you

(01:30:44):
cook them. I don't go out there like slurping them up, like,
oh this is delicious. It's also it's incredible. I'm eating
it and it's eating me at the same time. This
is terrible. No, the bacteria can cause an illness when
an open wound saying it to please, But it's only

(01:31:08):
when an open wound is exposed to coastal waters. If
you're in your bathtub, you can have that open wound
and you can kind of scrub it, clean it out,
hydrogen peroxide it that whole thing.

Speaker 11 (01:31:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
There's nothing there there. You don't need any of that.
You don't need any of that. What you need is
insider traded. Who's that on TV right now?

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
That's Nancy.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
I don't know that, the ld H says. Louisiana Department
of Health and Services says seventy five percent of this
year's infections have been linked to open wounds exposed to seawater.

(01:31:53):
But you would think like sea water would be like
an anti thing, but it's not. The Vibrio bacteria thrive
in the warmer months, typically May through October May. I
didn't know October. That's not so I would have been okay,

(01:32:17):
like in September October, but it's November when that. I
mean in Florida, thirteen people have contracted Vibrio vulnificus. I
gotta be so careful saying this, and four have died.
This is terrible. So who's most at risk. People who

(01:32:41):
are immuno immuno compromised, they have a higher possibility of
getting sick. Some infections result in gastro intestinal in gastro
intestinal symptoms like for example, I can't read this. Read

(01:33:04):
it watery diarrhea. No, no, stay out of the water, people,
hold on, I just got to say something. I read
that word watery diarrhea. There it goes again. What other

(01:33:26):
kind of diary? What else could that be? What a
great question? I mean more of a lava format there.
I don't know, but I'm just going to the doctor
and he's like, so what do you got?

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
I'm like, I.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Have a very dry diarrhea.

Speaker 16 (01:33:53):
I apologize, Clean your wound seven four or five seven
eleven News Talk eleven ten nine th WBT.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
It's just so itchy. I gotta what is this? How
can that be any other kind?

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
That's it's like one of those things where it's obvious
that it's that.

Speaker 11 (01:34:30):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:31):
You have cast always under its ad always coming and
last and bring it up the bass knowing a big
shockgum bass. There's like eleven ten nine three w BT.
So uh, John Stewart has this. It's it's it's pretty
good here, he says, human, we have a color named

(01:34:51):
after you, Salmon. Really is it silvery blue like my outsides? Human? No? Uh, salmon?
Why wait? Why is it pink? Human? Salmon? Why is
it pink? That's true. I mean, you think about it.
Salmon is pink. That's what you got. That's a very
good bit of analysis there. And I appreciate the, uh,

(01:35:14):
the feedback that we're getting from the from the people.
The people are are obviously concerned about the same sorts
of things that we are concerned about, and that's a
that's quite an important achievement, I think you generally generally speaking,
I mean I don't I don't know what else we
could possibly do to try to, you know, make the

(01:35:34):
point as you would expect. Uh, this, these these storms
that are coming through here, all right, these storms that
are coming through here. Two nights in a row. I've
been awakened by thunder and lightning, okay, and like middle
of the night, you know, thunder and lightning and sometimes
lightning and thunder that it depends on how it how

(01:35:56):
it goes. But I get up and I've got these
like giant trees in my backyard, like really tall trees,
like super tall trees and I'm gonna I'm gonna share
with you something here for a moment. And I'm not
too proud to say this. Okay, I get up and

(01:36:17):
I stare at the trees in my backyard and it's
like I'm willing them to stand to stay up. It's
the middle of the night. I'm like, I don't need
a tree coming this way or that way. I need
you to continue standing up as you have been standing
up for the last I don't know, four hundred years,

(01:36:39):
whatever it is. And I'm hoping those roots are really deep,
like oil well deep, like getting down into the to
hold that thing up. And then I feel silly about
this during these storms because I feel like I can't
will them to stay up. It's just like one of

(01:36:59):
those weird things. But it works. Every it's working. I'm
not trying to yeah exactly. I look, no opening wounds,
no water or anything. I mean, that's it. But you
know what's weird. As I was thinking about that, that
conversation in that last segment, and we got some very

(01:37:23):
funny feedback from people, you might want to change the name,
not not the way you're thinking about it. You might
want to change the name because down in South Carolina,

(01:37:44):
do you know what the name of one of the
lakes is, what Lake Watery? And there's some issues down
there they're having it. It's change it to Polar Lake.
Make it what you want it to be. Like I'm

(01:38:05):
trying to use my powers to look at the trees
with the thunder and the lightning, thunder and the lightning,
and I'm looking at that and I'm saying to myself,
you know what, stay up Lake Watery. No change it
to the Polar Lake. But envision it as a very
cold place where you can go and ride in a boat,

(01:38:29):
swim with open words. No so cold you want to
be on the you want to be in a boat
like this is a boat place to go, not a
swim place to go. If you want to swim, swim
in Alaska, uh, swim off the coast of northern California,
swim in the Golden Gate area where the water I

(01:38:51):
mean summertime forty seven degrees whow, no problems. No problems.
Now there are problems because the people that go and
swim around in that water, who knows what the heck's
going on there? That caused you to decide you're gonna
go swim in forty seven degree water. I've been in

(01:39:12):
I've been in incredibly cold water one time in my life.
One time and we were at Mammoth Lakes in northern California,
the Sierras, and my son jumped out of the boat
and jump. He jumped out of the boat and was swimming.
And I said to him, is it cold? And he

(01:39:34):
said not really, So I decided, with my life preserver on,
I jumped into the lake and that water was probably
forty degrees and it was summer, and I'm going hole,
this is bad. It is cold. It is cold. So

(01:39:58):
what did I do. I my life vest off and
threw it in the boat and tried to climb up
onto the boat. And I couldn't get up into the
boat because I couldn't feel my legs. They threw me
the life jacket. I put it back on, and then
they took a piece of rope. They gave it to

(01:40:19):
me and pulled me into the boat. I swear I
couldn't walk for about fifteen minutes, and everybody was pointing
and laughing at me. So, you know what, swim with
the cold stuff, don't swim with the warm stuff noo
