The Markbelling Podcast is a 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: You're going to open today's podcast with a concept. It's 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: kind of like a game, except the consequences are greater 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 2: than that. It's called judicial roulette. I think you all 8 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: know what Russian roulette is. Works much better with a 9 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: revolver than a pistol. I mean, your ats would be better. 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: You put like one bullet on the revolver and you 11 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: spin it around and you fire a gun. And you know, 12 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: if there's it's a six shot revolver and there's only 13 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: one bullet in five and six, chance you won't be dead. Roulette, 14 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: Russian roulette. The other roulette is a game that they 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 2: play on the casinos. They'll have to explain that game. 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: Or should we just move on and go forward with 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: my judicial relate? Just move forward judicial roulette. Let's suppose 18 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: you do something the reverse I suppose could be. Let's 19 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: imagine you're a victim of a crime. What happens is 20 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: often a result of judicial roulette. Which judge has the 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: case people talk all the time about well, it's these judges, 22 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: and they're right. The problem is is that because most 23 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: judges are anonymous, people don't really know the good ones 24 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: or the bad ones, or the bad ones and the 25 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: good ones. We're going to open it's podcast with a 26 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: very good example of judicial roulette.

Visit you line dot com. 35 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: We're going to revisit a topic from Thursday's podcast of 36 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: last week and then move forward. We discussed the case 37 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: of a guy from Musquigo who it was this year's 38 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday. He went to a couple of joints, 39 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: got himself watching the Super Bowl, was driving home south 40 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: on Moreland Road in Waukeshaw County. Moreland Road is a 41 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: big north south thoroughfare kind of runs to the middle 42 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: of Brookfield and runs the middle of New Berlin on 43 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: in this case, on the way down to Muskego, which 44 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: is where the guy lives. The guy was driving in 45 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: the wrong lane. It's a divided it's not a freeway, 46 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 2: but it's a divided highway, not even really a highway, 47 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: but it's a street that has a higher speed limit 48 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: and a big wide street and a major thoroughfare, and 49 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: it's divided to the northbound lanes and the southbound lanes 50 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: are separated. He's going the wrong way. He was headed 51 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: south but in the northbound lane, and he crashed head 52 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: on into a squad car. The police officer from New 53 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: Berlin this was into Berlin was injured, fortunately not terribly, 54 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: and Jimiddy busted a finger in pain. The guy's name 55 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: is who committed the crime is named David Sky. It 56 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: was not his first offense. He was charged with multiple 57 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: felonies and multiple misdemeanors as well in connection with the incident. 58 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: Reckless driving willin Koitte, intoxicated, operating well intoxicated, two or 59 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: more offenses, and so on. The reckless driving component dealt 60 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: with the fact that he's going the wrong way, and 61 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: they added in the enhancer of causing injury. In the 62 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: case of Scott, he appeared in Waukershaw County before a 63 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: new judge. His name is Scott Wagner. Do not confuse 64 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: him with Milwaukee County Judge Jeff Wagner, who is finally retiring. 65 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: Get a great career on the bench, and he's not 66 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: to be confused that the talk show host named Jeff 67 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: Wagner a lot of Wagner's Anyway, This is Scott Wagner, 68 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: new judge from Waukershaw County. He gave him four months. 69 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: Since we discussed that case, there was a case that 70 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: was heard in Milwaukee County Circuit Court in which the 71 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: details are very similar. This is a crash that occurred 72 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: on I seven ninety four. Seven ninety four is the 73 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: spur of the freeway that runs through downtown Milwaukee. If 74 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: you're taking I ninety four, it heads to the south, 75 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: you know, toward the airport, toward rasin Kenosha, and so 76 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: on at the Marquette interchange. But if you continue straight 77 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: toward the lake front, that's seven ninety four vice versa. 78 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: If you get on the freeway in Milwaukee County. You 79 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: head out on seven ninety four when you hit the 80 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: market Interkinge you hit ninety four. Explaining where this was. 81 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: This is a crash in which a driver, the guy 82 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: of some South Milwaukee, he was drunk, went the wrong 83 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: way and crashed into a vehicle and caused injury. No, 84 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: there are differences. One was on the freeway seven ninety four. 85 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: The other one was on Moreland Road, which isn't a freeway, 86 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: but both similar in that they are divided roadways. So 87 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: if you're going the wrong way, it's not like crossing 88 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: the center line. You're on the wrong way in a 89 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: divided highway with all the traffic coming against you. This 90 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: guy's name is Matthew Sinclair. The case from Milwaukee County. 91 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: He's Someselves, Milwaukee. As I said, the details very very 92 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: similar wrong way intoxication. In the case of Sinclair. This 93 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: was the first defense for intoxication of the Waukeshaw County case. 94 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: It was two. There was a woman who was who 95 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: was in another car, the car that was hit by Sinclair. 96 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: She was injured. Again, very similar Scott's cases, I said, 97 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: occurred in Milwaukee County Court. Milwaukee County Circuit court. He 98 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: appeared before Judge Rebecca Kiefer. She gave him three years. 99 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: As I say, the crimes are extremely similar. No, two 100 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: crimes are identical, but very similar. The guy at Walkershaw 101 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: County got four months. The guy in Milwaukee County got 102 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: three years. Now, first of all, let's start with this. 103 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: Our basic shorthand of where the good judges are and 104 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: where they aren't would lead you to believe that the 105 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: Waukeshaw County case was handled more harshly than Milwaukee County, 106 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: which has a history of leniency. But in these cases 107 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: that's not the case. We don't know a much about 108 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: the sentencing pattern of Judge Scott Wagner and Waukeshaw County 109 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: because he's brand new. He was just sworn in this year, 110 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: just a few months ago. And I don't know a 111 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: lot about Judge Rebecca Kiefer in Milwaukee County other than 112 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: almost all the judges in Milwaukee County tend to be soft. 113 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: She wasn't soft in this case. She gave three months 114 00:07:51,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: three years. But there's a moral to this story. If 115 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: you drive drunk the wrong way out of highway, you're 116 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: better off doing it in Waukershaw County than in Milwaukee County. Now, 117 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: it's certainly possible that in Wakershaw County, if the guy there, 118 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: his name is Scott Sinclair, is the guy from Milwaukee 119 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: County had gotten a different judge, maybe he would have 120 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: gotten a harsher punishment. Again judicial roulette. In this case, 121 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: Scott got lucky because his judge, Scott Wagner, went lean 122 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: in and all soft on him. No, I wasn't in 123 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: the courtroom for either of these cases. Obviously, here's what 124 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: often happens. By the way, one of the good things 125 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: aboute YouTube is they have zillions now of cases in 126 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: which they just replay court cases from the courtroom camera 127 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: in the courtroom and you see the case. There's zillions 128 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: of them. Some counties it's easier to get the video 129 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: than others, So some counties and some judges, and there 130 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: are some judges that just have personalities that made for YouTube, 131 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: and one of the producers. YouTube doesn't produce really any 132 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: of its own video, but the persons who are producing 133 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: the video and posting on YouTube just set up shop 134 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: and have a camera permanently in a judge's court when 135 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 2: they just carry that judge all the time. Anyway, One 136 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: of the things that you'll see on sentencing is when somebody, 137 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: anybody is convicted of something and it's time for sentencing, 138 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: they get up there, Oh, I've changed, this is terrible, 139 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: don't take me away from my family. All their friends 140 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: and relatives come up and they all say, well, all 141 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: these wonderful things. It happens constantly, and there are some 142 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: judges that fall for this. In some cases. Maybe the 143 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: stuff is actually true, I would argue, probably irrelevant, nothing 144 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: to do with the fact that the person did something terrible, 145 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 2: And certainly there are we can make the argument that 146 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 2: people who have law and criminal records deserve more punishment 147 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: than those for whom it's a first time a fan. 148 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: But as I say, the thing that makes these two 149 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: cases that I'm talking about here striking is they're very similar. 150 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: The defenses are very very similar. Did the Waukeshaw County 151 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: guy gets softer treatment because he hit and injured a 152 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: cop whereas the Milwaukee County guy injured a civilian a woman? No, No, 153 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: I can't ask Scott Wagner why he decided to take 154 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: a dive on his case, Nor could I ask Rebecca 155 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: Keefer why she went tougher. A lot of it may 156 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: have to do with the sentence and recommendation from the 157 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: district attorney. Milwaukee County has a reputation of having softer 158 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: district attorney's run a new one right now, he's in 159 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: his first year, and a case like this, chances are 160 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: it was not even reviewed by the DA. It's handled 161 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: by an assistant DA. Maybe that was the same case 162 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: in Waukeshaw County. Maybe the sentencing recommendation from the DN 163 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: Waukeshaw County was soft, and maybe the sentencing recommendation from 164 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: the DN Milwaukee County was strong and that impacted the judge. Perhaps, 165 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: but remember judges don't have to accept sentencing recommendations. There 166 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: will often be a negotiated plea in which they agree 167 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: on a recommendation, but the judge they even say before 168 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: after the person accepts the plea burger, you know, I'm 169 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: not bound with this, so I never cut that as 170 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: any slack. Any judge who doesn't like the terms of 171 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: the plea bargain can issue a stronger sentience. There are 172 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: a lot of morals to the story, among them that 173 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: who your judge is is very very important. Now you 174 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: can't blame the voters on these types of things, because 175 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: almost all judges in both of these counties are unopposed. Occasionally, 176 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: in Waukeshaw County when there's a vacancy, there'll be more 177 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: than one candidate running. In this case, however, Scott Wagner 178 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: when he was elected, there was a vacancy, but he 179 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: was the only candidate, and he was endorsed by all 180 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: the conservatives, and he's got a conservative background and so on. 181 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: So it maybe brand new judge gets on there and 182 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: he's too damn dumb to figure things out in this case, 183 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: or he falls for an argument, or he has some 184 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,599 Speaker 2: sympathy or the defendant in front of him crying and 185 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: the family's out there, and maybe he falls for this crap. 186 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: But it is instructive in this case that Milwaukee County, 187 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: which on the overall is more lenient, when in this 188 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: instance way tougher and those of you who live in 189 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: Walkashaw County ought to be ashamed of that, and you 190 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: ought to be ashamed of Wagner. One of the things 191 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: that I think I'm pretty good at. First it's a 192 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: talk show host and now a podcaster, which are almost 193 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: identical things. Almost identical. They're not identical, but boy, it's 194 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: like ninety nine percent there or so on is I'll 195 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: take two stories like this and put them side by 196 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: side and sure with the audience. Both of these stories 197 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: were covered by the media, but separately, and you never 198 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: get a sense one way or another if people don't 199 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: pay attention to what the sentence is and so on. 200 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 2: These two cases, though, were just They were resolved just 201 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: several days apart, one in time for today's podcast, the 202 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: other in time for the last one of last week, 203 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: and they were remarkable side by side stories. Now our 204 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: related story for you all these bills that the Republican 205 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: Legislature passed. Tony Efers is vetoing a lot of them, 206 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: and he's signing some of them. One of the bills 207 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: that he signed, which was passed with bipartisan support. Some 208 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 2: Democrats voted for them, enhances the ability of police to 209 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: tow vehicles. I've been arguing on this for some time. 210 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: This bill does I would say some good, but not much. 211 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: But again, not much good is still better than doing 212 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: no good at all. You know, you give a dime 213 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: through a charity, there's a good charity. It's you know 214 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: that there's a time do them a lot of good. No, 215 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 2: but it's better than if you didn't give him anything 216 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: at all, Like a little weasel like Paul over there. 217 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: I think you're a cheap skiate, you know that. I 218 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: think you're a chief skate. Well you are a chief skate. Ah, yeah, 219 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: you have your job in general, you're a chief skate. Yes, 220 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: you see a guy, you see him at a sporting event. 221 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's somebody gave him a ticket. That's 222 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: just the way it is. You're a chief skate. Well 223 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: that's true, isn't it. Yeah? You way, are you surprised 224 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: you have it? Like stumbled down to like somebody with 225 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: a charge a bucket and a half of the game 226 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: or something or anyway. In this instance, the legislation signed 227 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: by Evers allows the authorities to tow a vehicle involved 228 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: in a reckless driving arrest without regard to whether or 229 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: not the driver is the owner of the vehicle. Now, 230 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: let me explain the basis for this. Many instances, the 231 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: reckless driver doesn't own the vehicle. In some cases it's stolen, 232 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: but often it's this, especially in Milwaukee. This crap a 233 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: friend of a friend of a friend, of a friend 234 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: of a friend of a friend, because there are all 235 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: sorts of people who don't have their own vehicle, and 236 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: you know it's all shady stuff. But secondly, let's imagine 237 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: I give my car. I won't. It's silly to argue this, 238 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: but I'll just use an example. I give my car 239 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: to Paul, and Paul drives recklessly. And when I say recklessly, 240 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: we're talking the stuff that is caused, you know, all 241 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: the kind of stuff that we're talking about here. Imagine 242 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: wrong way driving, but the person didn't crash or just 243 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: blowing through ninety stop signs in Milwaukee. If all they 244 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: do is give Paul a ticket and it falls like 245 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: most of the people in Milwaukee get charged with this 246 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: doesn't pay the fine. What's it off of me who 247 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: let them drive the car? Here's the thing about the towing. 248 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: And I don't know that everybody knows this. Do you know? 249 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: You know the thing about the towing. When I say 250 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: the thing about the towing, what is the thing about 251 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: the toing? It gets it, It tastes. It costs a 252 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: ton of money to get your car out of the 253 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: toe lot. You know you and your can I say 254 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: this business you and your wife are in or nott 255 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: or can I not mention it? They've got these storage lockers. 256 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: I said on the program, like twenty five years ago, 257 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: a gold mine would get us, get these storage lockers 258 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: and put a ton of them in the third ward 259 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. Of course I don't do this. You should 260 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: see the third I mean there's high rises on the freeway. 261 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: The storage lockers are going like nineteen million stories in 262 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: the air well. Paul's now involved in the storage locker thing. 263 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: Another good business I should have gone into twenty five 264 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: years ago is owning a toe lot. It's just the drive. 265 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: The companies that do the towing for a parking lot operators, 266 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: they don't charge you. They charge you nothing. Why because 267 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 2: they make their money on the toe lot. It's like 268 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty bucks to get your car out 269 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: of a toe lot. So let's imagine you've got just 270 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: any private parking lot in Milwaukee. We're only parking for 271 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: the customers and so on, are only parking for the 272 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: apartment tenants. The tow trucks are just constantly trolling through 273 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: and if the license isn't approved, or they'll go in 274 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 2: and they'll ask the business because it should this guy 275 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: be here. They told the car up, it's three fifty 276 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: three d and eighty bucks. They have this rule that 277 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: if you get to the car while it's on the hook, 278 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: you can pay the driver on the spot a lesser 279 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 2: fee and they release it, which is an even better 280 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: deal for the toll driver because he doesn't have to 281 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: go all the way over to the to lot and 282 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: back to the area that he's going. He can just 283 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: let you go take the money. The money goes like 284 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: et cetera. Anyway, So this bill expands this to cover 285 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: the fact that many people driving recklessly are not the 286 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 2: owners of the vehicle, including zillions of the juveniles that 287 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: are out there. It helps, however, as I've been saying 288 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 2: for some time, that scratches the surface. In many states, 289 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: if the vehicle is unregistered, it's towed. An extremely high 290 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: number of the vehicles that are being driven recklessly in 291 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: southeastern Wisconsin, they're not even registered. And when I say 292 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 2: not registered, you didn't renew the plate, so there's no 293 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: other the plates are expired or it hasn't been registered 294 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: for three or four years. That offense in Milwaukee, I 295 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: can't speak for every county. Is you get a ticket, 296 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: and the ticket carries a fine. There is, unless you're 297 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: a responsible citizen, no reason to pay the fine. None. 298 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 2: You know what they do if you don't pay your 299 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: fine in Milwaukee, they take away your driver's license. The 300 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: people who aren't registering their cars also aren't licensing themselves 301 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: to drive. I can then put out a warrant for 302 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: your arrest if you don't pay it, and there are 303 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: warrants issued for the arrest. I mention this all the time. 304 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: I just think it's one of the things that doesn't 305 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: sink in. The Milwaukee County jail does not accept inmates 306 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: being taken in on traffic wards, So the jail just 307 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: won't accept you. So there's no point in a police 308 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: officer in Milwaukee County arresting somebody for not paying their 309 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: traffic wards because the jail won't accept them. I don't 310 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: know why. I think nobod that doesn't sink into people. 311 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: But I'm justsing I should have used you as a 312 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: guinea pig. What happens if they bring you to the 313 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: jail on a traffic war, you would have said, I 314 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: just keep saying this. It's like people don't process that. 315 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 2: I think I'm intuitive. I just think people don't process it. 316 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: Now I've said it ninety times, maybe they'll process it. Also, 317 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: in many communities, if you're involved in drunk driving, they 318 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: toll the vehicles. This happens in some communities in Milwaukee County, 319 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: but another other than the state of Wisconsin, but not all. 320 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: I would do the same thing with people who are 321 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: driving without a license. You don't have a license, Toe 322 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: the car. Not only do you not let them drive away. 323 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: Toe the car. I'm telling you this will work because 324 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: it costs so damn much to get it out of 325 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: the toe lot. These people who don't have licenses will 326 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: get license. The people that aren't registered will can register 327 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: because they don't want to be. And then the cops 328 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: they can run around and they have the license plate readers. 329 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if all police have this, but many 330 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: agencies now have. They're scanners. They automatically scan the plate 331 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: and it'll come back and trigger if a vehicle's god, 332 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: if there's a if it's expired, and so on, and 333 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: there's warrants for the driver, and it's kind of sophisticated stuff. 334 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: You told these people you solve the problem, not solve 335 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: the problem. You go a long way toward solving the problem. 336 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: Paul said, you can't. Well, I'm telling you this. I've 337 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: driven past some of these lots and the first thing 338 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: you have to do is you have to get passed. 339 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: You have to get past the six foot pit bulls 340 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: that are sitting on that on the I mean, it's 341 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: like I remember when my late lamented sixty eight Camaro convertible, 342 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: one of the i'd say the greatest car I ever. 343 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 2: It wasn't the greatest car I ever owned, but it 344 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: was enough to understand the context of it. This was 345 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: long before people understood it was a classic. It was 346 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: just a beater when I had it. Well, I mean, 347 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: it was t boned in Springfield, Illinois. It wasn't my fault. 348 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: Somebody ran a red lighted t bone me and I 349 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: was totaled out, and given the value of the car 350 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: at the time, it didn't take much to total it out. 351 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: So it was towed to a toll lot and they 352 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 2: scrapped it in the insurance company for the other driver, 353 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: they paid me a subtle mention. So on. I remember 354 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: leaving the car and I had to walk away because 355 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: I don't know if I had to sign something. But 356 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: it's at the toll out when they towed it there, 357 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: there's this big dog bark. I swear every Junkyard is 358 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: a dog. It's why we have the term junkyard dog. 359 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: I mean, imagine, if you ran a Junkyard or you 360 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: didn't have a dog, you would be like shamed out 361 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: of the Junkyard business. I looked at this car. It 362 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: even dawned on me, I'm gonna miss this car. There 363 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: was the dog barkin, and I don't remember any other details. 364 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: Somebody must have given me a drive home, or somebody 365 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: must have gone. I don't remember any of that anyway. 366 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 2: All right, speaking of problems, the Democrats in Wisconsin have 367 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: a problem. That's always good news, isn't it now. I 368 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: mentioned this story two months ago, and it's now showing 369 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: up in the mainstream media. Mendela Barnes wants to run 370 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: for governor. The Democrats don't want him to run for governor. 371 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: The Democrats look at Mendela saying, you're the one guy 372 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 2: that can close. We know this because twenty twenty two 373 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 2: is a democratic year. Democrats did pretty well across the country, 374 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: and they did very well here on Wisconsin. They won 375 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: the governorship. Tony Eavers was re elected, beating Kim Michaels. 376 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: Josh Call was re elected Attorney General. He beat Eric Tony, 377 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 2: but the Republicans kept the Senate seat. Ron Johnson beat 378 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: Mendela Barnes. So the biggest reason ronje was and again 379 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 2: these are all close elections, there was a handful of 380 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: voters who divided their tickets and voted for Evers and Johnson. 381 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: You would wonder why would they do that, And it 382 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: was simply Mendela Barnes was so toxic, so stupid, such 383 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: a shady background. The whole thing. Had a state trooper 384 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: drive him to Madison and back because he didn't have 385 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: It was either he didn't have a registered vehicle, he 386 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: didn't have a license, or something like the stay. Well, 387 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 2: he was involved in an extremely offensive party in college. 388 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: Well I'll say what it was. He ran an ad 389 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 2: in which he said no ratchets allowed. Remember that. Well, 390 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 2: I mean he had that baggage and it was used 391 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: against him any loss, and it's one of the reasons 392 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: why Ron's back in the Senate for another six years. Well, 393 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 2: Mandela thinks that he's special. He just he's entitled to it. 394 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: And I almost was a senator. So now I want 395 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: to be the governor. The thing is that Democrats have 396 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: people running for governor. They already told Josh Cawley can't 397 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: run the attorney general, and Josh go, okay, fine, I 398 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 2: won't run. They have David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive. 399 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: He's running. The last thing he wants is another African 400 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: American from Milwaukee to run against him in a primary, 401 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 2: dividing that vote. Then you have Sarah Rodriguez, the lieutenant governor. 402 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: I it's my turn. I'm the lieutenant governor. Tony Evers 403 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: is the governor. I should be the governor. Then there's 404 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: like five other lefties from Madison Linarosa running. Here's why 405 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: Mendela wants to run. He does have name recognition, and 406 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: I know why he has name recognition. It's that first name. 407 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 2: You know, he's named after Nelson Mendela, and he's milked 408 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: that thing his entire political career. So he's thinking, Okay, 409 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 2: there's like seven Democrats going to run. I'm better known 410 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: than all of them. I could win with maybe twenty 411 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: nine thirty percent of the vote. Story in jas online. 412 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: Every Democratic leader in the state is telling him not 413 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: to run, and they all know why. Some of them 414 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: are coming right out and saying. At the Milwaukee Courier, 415 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 2: which is a newspaper and website in Milwaukee aimed at 416 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: the African American community, they wrote in an editorial, Mendela 417 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: had his opportunity, he didn't close. That means it's time 418 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: for a new chapter. Do they make it a clip? Mendela, 419 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 2: you had your chance, you blew it. We want somebody else. 420 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: There's Mendela thinking, I want to be the governor. You 421 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: can't make me drop out. Now they actually can't make you, 422 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: but they can induce you. The Democrats for how did 423 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: they get for example, Sarah god Luski, who also wants 424 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: to run. She's the Secretary of State. You wanted to 425 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: run for governor. She's been told you will have the 426 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: path cleared for the United States Senate in twenty eight. 427 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: Ron Johnson seat is up again in twenty eight. Sarah 428 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: god Luski's gonna run for the United States Senate in 429 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: twenty eight, and the Democratic leaders are going to knock 430 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: every other Democrat who tries to run for that and 431 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 2: say we're giving all of our support to Sarah. The 432 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 2: other thing they can do is they can set you 433 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: up in a nonprofit. They have a zillion of them. 434 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: All these Democratic organizations that are out there doing community organizing, 435 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: they're all backed by billionaires. They can give Mendel a 436 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: big job. And maybe that's all he's updue that he's 437 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: out there trying to extort and shake them down for 438 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: some sort of big job and so on. But even 439 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: a big job like that, it ain't the governor. And 440 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: he thinks he give me the governor. I'll tell you 441 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: who wants him to get the Democratic nomination, the Republicans. 442 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 2: I have heard through the grapevine that one of the 443 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: things that is giving Kim Michael's reason to reconsider his 444 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 2: decision not to run is he believes that if Mendela 445 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 2: Barnes is the candidate, he can win. Now, Tom Tiffany's 446 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: already in the race, so's Josh Showman, the Washington County executive. 447 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: But if Barnes gets in, there are going to be 448 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: other Repubsublicans who want to get in because the Republicans. 449 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: Republicans are probably up against it in terms of winning 450 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: the governorship in twenty six unless what unless Mendela Barnes 451 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: is the Democratic candidate. Let's go to an unfortunate story. 452 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: One of the just realities of football is because the 453 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: athletes are too fast, too big, and too strong, the 454 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 2: injury tool is savage. And what happened to Tuckercraft is 455 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: tragedy is too strong of a word, but it's just 456 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 2: the devastating blow he has become. I think, I argue 457 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: he was the best tight end in the National Football League. 458 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 2: I think possibly he's the most popular Packer among fans. 459 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 2: It was a great story of this guy that grew 460 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: up in this nowhere town in South Dakota. He played 461 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: for a Division one FCS team in college, fourth round 462 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: draft choice and built him into what he is. He 463 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: the worst thing. It's close to the worst injury. I 464 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: think a broken leg is worse. But apparently it's a 465 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 2: torn ACL. The Packers is of the time of this podcast, 466 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: have not released that, but it was after the game 467 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: that the reports were that there what yeah, MRI says 468 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 2: it's ACL, right, yeah, yeah. The end Paul said that 469 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 2: that just has come out and it was known that 470 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 2: that's what it would be. The ACL is a terrible 471 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: injury because it may end your career. The recovery time 472 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: is usually it's anywhere from nine to fifteen months. Most 473 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: people try to make it back in nine to ten. 474 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: My own belief is is that Tucker Craft should not 475 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: try to play football until twenty twenty seven. I think 476 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: that way too many guys come back too early from 477 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: an ACL. I think you need to give it a 478 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: year and a half. An example of this would be 479 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 2: Jabari Parker of the Bucks, who came back too quickly, 480 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: and the result is you often put too much pressure 481 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: on your good knee and he tore the other ACL. 482 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: Another example of this would be David Bocdieri the Packers, 483 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: who he tried to come back fifteen different times, and 484 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: he'd come back a game and he'd have to go 485 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 2: back and it just never. It's terrible injury for any athlete, 486 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: but especially for a football player. But best case scenario, 487 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: he fully recovers in his back in time for the 488 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: beginning of next season. But again, even if he is back, 489 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: will he be the same. It's just a terrible injury. 490 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: The ACL is for an athlete, the most important of 491 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: the ligaments in the knee. There's all theseve ligaments, and 492 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: if you're not an athlete, they all obviously matter. But 493 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: it's a terrible one and It just happened on a 494 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: freak injury. He kind of ran into one of his 495 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: offensive linemen and the offensive lineman was cut blocked by 496 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: a defender for Carolina. And it was a legal cut block, 497 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: some of the not a cut block because he was 498 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: on defense. You can't do a cut block if you're 499 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: a blocker. You can't go for the legs of a defender. 500 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: But on the other way, the defender can kind of 501 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: go toward the legs as they were describing it on TV. 502 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: And I don't know this rule that what the defender 503 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 2: for the Panthers did was legal, but it made Ryan 504 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: go down and Ryan went down right into Craft and 505 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: Crafts and thee slammed into Ryan and that's when the 506 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: ACL But it's just a devastating injury for the Packers. 507 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: I think that Packers had two great players on their 508 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: team this year. When I say great, I mean great, 509 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: and that's Micah Parsons and Tucker Craft. They have several 510 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: very good players, including Jordan Love, but two great players, 511 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: and they lost one of the minute's a terrible story 512 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: for Craft and a terrible story for the Packers. And 513 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: it's the reality though a football. I mean, these injuries 514 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: happen all the time. They happen far more frequently they 515 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: did in the past. It is simply guys are bigger, faster, 516 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: and stronger. But the ligaments are the same ligaments that 517 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: we've always had in our bodies. And it's the sad 518 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: and it's an unfortunate story. And with that we'll take 519 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 2: a break. This is the Mark Belling podcast. This is 520 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: the Mark Belling Podcast. I hope you all saw President 521 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: Trump on sixty Minutes last night. Probably a lot of 522 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: people did, because it was on right after the Kansas 523 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: City Buffalo game, both on CBS. By the way, a 524 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: quick aside on that the NASCAR Championship race was on 525 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: right up against the marquee game of the NFL regular 526 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 2: season Kansas City and Buffalo. There's some talk in NASCAR 527 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: finally changing the rules back to perhaps something closer to 528 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: what they were in the beginning when they didn't have 529 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: a playoff system for the championship and the past. NASCAR, 530 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: like most automobile racing series like Formula One and Indie 531 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: Racing League, they simply add up the points throughout the 532 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: course of the season, and whoever has the most points 533 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 2: at the end of the season is the winner. And 534 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: when NASCAR had that system was that was when NASCAR 535 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: exploded in popularity in America. And then the third generation 536 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: of Francis came in and they decided that stock car 537 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: racing has to be like football, baseball, and basketball and 538 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: you have to have playoffs. Well, they're a different sport. It's, 539 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: first of all, it's not really a team sport. There's 540 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 2: teams of two or three or four cars per driver, 541 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: but it's an individualized sport. And all it did was 542 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: it watered down all of the other races in this 543 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: deal where okay, the sixteen drivers advance of the playoffs 544 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: that if you win a race, you advance to the 545 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: next and so forth and so on, and then you 546 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: just last race. There's four cars that have a chance 547 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: to win the championship, and then thirty five other drivers 548 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: that are in the race as well. At whichever driver 549 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: of the four has the highest finish wins the championship. 550 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: Citing a championship based on it's just so stupid, I 551 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: should Denny Hamlin is probably the greatest NASCAR driver to 552 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: ever win a championship. He's leading this race the whole race, 553 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: and with three laps left, He's up by three seconds, 554 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: and the track is a short track in Phoenix. Three 555 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: seconds with three laps left at that track is like 556 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: being three miles ahead. There's only one way he can 557 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 2: lose the race, and that is a yellow flag comes out. 558 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: If a yellow flag comes out, they have to restart 559 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: the race, and the second place driver is right next 560 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: to him. In addition to that, the whole race, everybody 561 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 2: was having tire trouble, So all the drivers come in 562 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 2: for tire changes. You're changing tires just to run two 563 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: laps because when they restart there's only two laps left. 564 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: Every driver that went into the pits changed two tires. 565 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 2: Hamlin's team changed all four because they changed all four. 566 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 2: He came out of the pits not in first but 567 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: in tent, and all said, why did I was watching 568 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: to see I get the whole thing. That handling and 569 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: tires is important, even for two laps. I'm watching this second. 570 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Are you nuts? He's got the best car. Just make 571 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: sure he's still in position. He'll run away from the field. 572 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: He said he thought it was the right decision. The 573 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: I'm brain farting here, I'm trying to think of the 574 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: Kyle Larson Kyle Larson in the five car who there's 575 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 2: five spectacular drivers in NASCAR. Kyle Larson's one of them, 576 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: to Hamlt's another. Kyle Larson's team. He drives for Rick 577 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: hen And the three great teams in NASCAR are Joe Gibbs, 578 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 2: that's the old football coach. That's Denny Hamlin's team, Kyle 579 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: Larson drives for Rick Hendrick, and the third one is 580 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 2: Penske and the Penske team I think has won the 581 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 2: last two championships. In this case, the Joe Gibbs teams 582 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: made the decision to have their driver take four tires. 583 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 2: Everybody else took two, and Kyle Larson didn't win the race, 584 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 2: but he finished ahead of Denny Hamlin, who couldn't having 585 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 2: the four tires was not enough for him to be 586 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: able to make up any ground. Just it was a 587 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 2: stupid decision, and I thought it was. No, I can't 588 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 2: prove that it was. I thought it was a stupid decision. 589 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 2: I'm sitting there watching it by myself in my living room, 590 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 2: but I thought it was a stupid decision, and it 591 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 2: was a stupid decision anyway. Trump's interview in sixty minutes. 592 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: That's where this all started. Remember that, I'm just telling 593 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 2: you Trump is at the top of his game right now. 594 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 2: It was the same kind of interview that he always gets, 595 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 2: a hostile interview. Remember, CBS is under new ownership now, Paramount, 596 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 2: and Paramount's chairman David Ellison has made it clear that 597 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 2: he wants his bias at CBS News to end. So 598 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: it wasn't a hatchet job interview. What it was is 599 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 2: Nora O'Donnell's sitting there asking stern questions. 600 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 3: I'm just. 601 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: I don't know this. Everybody who interviews Trump has the 602 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 2: same thing, this stern demeanor. I don't know what these 603 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: people think is attractive of well being in television, being 604 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: stern and angry, because the work is the same. Watch 605 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: anybody who's successful doing a podcast, the podcasts that are 606 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 2: they're all smiling and laughing and so on. I'm not 607 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 2: a video podcaster here, but I'm smiling and laughing. She 608 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: was there. She was doing it because she knows she 609 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 2: had to do it, and she knew that she couldn't 610 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 2: be over the hearsh so she just tried to ask 611 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: these direct, hostile, appointed questions. But the Trump got Trump. 612 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 2: Trump got his answers out clearly on each of these, 613 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: and he knew the environment. In the past, Trump rambled 614 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 2: when he was doing interviews, bing bang bang, bang bang. 615 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 2: He's gotten so much better at this. His whole second 616 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: term is better than the first term and the communication 617 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 2: of it. There's one particular issue, and it's tied to 618 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 2: another that I want to focus on here, and that 619 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 2: is Obamacare. Obamacare is linked to the government shutdown. The 620 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 2: Democrats are demanding that in the reconciliation bill that we 621 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 2: passed to end the shutdown, that they continue the subsidies 622 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 2: for Obamacare. Obamacare, as those of us were arguing at 623 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 2: the time that it passed a decade ago, ten eleven 624 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 2: years ago, Obamacare financially did not add up. So what 625 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 2: they did is they put in enormous subsidies to reduce 626 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,959 Speaker 2: the costs of the premiums. But they put a drop 627 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 2: dead data on them, which was ten years. And from 628 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 2: the perspective of the Democrats at Obama when they passed it, 629 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 2: we care about ten years down the line. We just 630 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: want to get this thing through. If they would not 631 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 2: have put the deadline, and you know, when the Congressional 632 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 2: Budget Office scores that they hadn't costs even more, remember 633 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi's we won't know what's in it until we 634 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 2: pass it. Well, they did know this, it didn't add up. 635 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 2: So what happens is Obamacare's policies and Obamacare is when 636 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 2: people are on the exchanges that's Obamacare, they buy these 637 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 2: policies that have very very high deductibles, meaning their insurance 638 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 2: doesn't kick in until they meet the deductible, and they 639 00:37:52,719 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 2: pay a premium that is moderately expensive. It's not a 640 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: great insurance plan if you're somebody that is goes the 641 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 2: doctor a lot or has illness issues. If you never 642 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: go to the doctor, what do you care if you 643 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: have a high deductible. The reason, however, that the premiums 644 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 2: don't cost fifteen arms in a leg is because these 645 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 2: subsidies and well the subsidies are now expiring, and it 646 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: means that the government has to spend in order to 647 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 2: keep these subsidies in place, a massive amount of money. 648 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: And they're trying to claim that Trump has to fix 649 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 2: this problem, that Obama and there isn't one republic and 650 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 2: who voted for Obamacare. You'll recall it got through the 651 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: House and the Senate only with Democratic votes, and it 652 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 2: was a Domin's plan. It was the time. It was 653 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: that period of which at Obama's first turned they had 654 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 2: the House and the Senate and the White House. So 655 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 2: they created this train wreck. And now they're saying the 656 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: Republicans have to solve it. But Obama, would you say, 657 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 2: you keep your eye Well, we know all of that 658 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 2: is unproved. The majority of people on the exchanges have 659 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 2: different got us stant In here. This is a piece 660 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 2: from just thenews dot com and I'm just going to 661 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: quote from it. Expert says when he said, if you 662 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 2: like your health care plan, you can keep your health 663 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 2: care plan. No, you couldn't. Obamacare made a lot of 664 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 2: the health those healthcare plans illegal. Let me interject. You 665 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 2: may recall that before Obamacare, you could drop a healthcare 666 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: plan that said anything. Obamacare was one size hits all. 667 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 2: They all have to cover all of these things, and 668 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 2: that meant that the plans are very, very expensive. I mean, 669 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 2: a single guy who bought a healthcare plan had a 670 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 2: pregnancy coverage in all of that. Other infirmities of ACA 671 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 2: have been laid out late have been laid out, including 672 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 2: nebulous allegations of fraud. After years of Democrats telling the 673 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 2: American people the former president of Barack Obama's Affordable Care 674 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 2: Act was a thriving system. The glaring truth revealed now 675 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: during the government shutdown is that not only has the 676 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 2: ACA resulted in widespread fraud and allegation of kickbacks to 677 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 2: insurance companies, the American people are footing the bill for 678 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 2: subsidies to hide the fact that Obamacare is broken. Go 679 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 2: on to the days of family doctors operating private practices. 680 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 2: Let me pause. How many of you have a family 681 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 2: doctor and a private practice. I don't, do you they 682 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 2: all work for one of the big healthcare systems, Aurora 683 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 2: or all the various names they're all. When I say all, 684 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 2: it's not all, it's almost all. The independent physicians, the 685 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 2: just private clinics not hooked up with anybody, are almost 686 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 2: non existent. Back to the discussion here of this, goana 687 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 2: the days of family doctors operating private practices. Based on 688 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 2: the most recent data from the American Calessos, practice medicine 689 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 2: fully independently, not owned or affiliated with hospitals, health systems, 690 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: private equity or insurers make up roughly forty two to 691 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: forty seven percent of all practicing physicians as of twenty 692 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 2: twenty four. Let me inter check. The ones that are 693 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 2: a dependent are often specialists, for example, a lot of 694 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 2: psychiatrists and physicians and specialty fields. A lot of the 695 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 2: radiologists have their own, but in terms of the primary care, 696 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 2: they're almost all hooked into a system, according to the 697 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 2: Advisory Board twenty twenty three data showing more than seventy 698 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 2: seven percent of physicians are employees of hospitals, health systems 699 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 2: or other corporate entities, citing a report from Physicians Advocacy Institute. 700 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 2: All right, so Obamacare has created all of that, and 701 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 2: it's one of the overhangs behind the government shutdown. Trump 702 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 2: was asked about this because Norodonald's say, look, if you 703 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 2: don't change your plan to bail out obama Care, in 704 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 2: other words, continue these subsidies, all these people are going 705 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: to see massive increases in their premiums. Now before I 706 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 2: play you, Trump's answer is very short. I do think 707 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: the Republicans have to step in here. Let me just 708 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 2: start with this, what do you think is on Obamacare? 709 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: I think I asked this on Thursday's podcast, didn't I Yeah, 710 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask it again. Who do you think is 711 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 2: that Obamacare it's more Trump voters than not. Obamacare is 712 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 2: not Medicaid. First of all, Medicare is senior citizens. Medicaid 713 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 2: is poor people. The people on the exchanges are generally 714 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 2: lord of middle income to sometimes middle income people for 715 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 2: whom they don't have a private healthcare plan available from 716 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 2: their work. The realignment of American politics Trump thrived. That's 717 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 2: a huge segment of this is the Maga cron Secondly, 718 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 2: it's not these people's fault that we passed Obamacare and 719 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 2: created this thing with this massive subsidy and forced them 720 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 2: to buy overly expensive plans. They can't buy a cheap 721 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: ole plan because it's not legal to sell them under Obamacare. 722 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,439 Speaker 2: It's a terrible hidship for these people if we're gonna 723 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 2: explode their health insurance costs. So I think that the 724 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: Republicans do have to stay in and do something. But 725 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 2: Trump's point, and it's my point, is that's separate from 726 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 2: the government shutdown. No, here's Trump and you'll hear Nouro 727 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: Donaldleft CBS kind of butting in on the answer. But 728 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 2: I think he's trying to get home his point because 729 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 2: the Democrats are trying to say that again. You know, 730 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 2: It's just like the old line used to be, the 731 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 2: Republicans are trying to kill your social Security, the Republicans are 732 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 2: taking away your Medicare and so on. And know they're 733 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 2: trying to argue that Republicans are trying to take away 734 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: your Obamacare. Here's Trump's response. 735 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 3: Obamacare is terrible. It's bad healthcare at far too high 736 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 3: a price. We should fix that. We should fix it, 737 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 3: and we can fix it with the Democrats. All they 738 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 3: have to do is let the country open and we'll 739 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 3: fix it. 740 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 2: They have to lend the country open. 741 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 3: And I'll sit down with the Democrats and we'll fix it. 742 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 3: But they have to let the country and. 743 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: You know what they have to do. 744 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 2: All they have to do is raise five hands. We 745 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 2: don't need all of them. First of all, twenty four seconds, 746 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 2: he banged the whole thing. We just need to get 747 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 2: five more Democrats to vote to reopen the government. And 748 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 2: then Trump said, look, then I'll work with the Democrats, 749 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: will come up with the compromise bill to keep some 750 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 2: of these subsidies that are in place. And I think 751 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 2: that part of it is going to be they want 752 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 2: the Republicans want to reform Obamacare to bring back some 753 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 2: cheap old plans that don't cover everything, so you get 754 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 2: rid of the one size fits all, etc. The insurance companies. 755 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 2: And again when the Democratic Party just decided that they 756 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 2: were going to align themselves with the insurance companies, is 757 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: what I think that the Democrats just permanently changed. You 758 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 2: see it with regard to vaccine policy had happened all 759 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 2: the way through COVID. The insurance companies make a fortune 760 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 2: off of Obamacare, a fortune because the government is subsidizing 761 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 2: the premiums. Imagine in a business in which you're requiring 762 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 2: everybody to buy your product and the government is going 763 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: to pay most of the money that the product costs. 764 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 2: It's a glorious system for them. And I think that 765 00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 2: Trump and the Republicans will be open to reforming Obamacare 766 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 2: with Republican votes in some Democratic votes. But you can't 767 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 2: do all of this, well, the government is shut down 768 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: because it's all these other things included. We don't know 769 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 2: if snap, if the food stamp program and so on 770 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 2: is going to be funded, and so on. And I 771 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 2: thought that Trump did an extremely effective job and getting 772 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 2: his point through in that answer, despite the fact that 773 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 2: Norah O'Donnell was you know hellbend in not letting him 774 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 2: get in the answer. The one thing you could tell though, 775 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 2: is that she was told you can't cut him off. 776 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 2: She was trying to cut him off. But once Trump 777 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 2: just persisted plowing through this, he got through what he 778 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: got his point he asked on a number of other things. 779 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 2: I want to quickly cover some of his points on 780 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 2: illegal immigration, the policy has to be you came into 781 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 2: the country illegally, you're going to go out. However, you've 782 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 2: also seen you're going to go out, We're going to 783 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 2: work with you, and you're going to come back into 784 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 2: our country legally. And again that's the answer for all 785 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 2: these deportations. If you're not somebody who was a criminal 786 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 2: in terms of breaking other laws, you get kicked out 787 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 2: of the country, and then you say, stand in line 788 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 2: and reapply to come in through the front door as 789 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 2: you ought to on the next three years. We have 790 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 2: been acknowledged as having the greatest nine months in the 791 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 2: history of the presidency. So if I can keep that going, 792 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 2: I'll be very happy. On the Supreme Court's tariff case. 793 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 2: Because of Tiras, we have the highest stock market we've 794 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: ever had. Because of Tara's four oh, one k's are 795 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 2: at their highest level, and this is millions of people 796 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,720 Speaker 2: than we've ever had. I think it's the most important 797 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 2: subject discussed by the Supreme Court in one hundred years. 798 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 2: He's right about that second point. Does the president have 799 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 2: the ability to put in place tariffs without the approval 800 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 2: of the Congress. The Constitution in fact doesn't say anything 801 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 2: about imposition of tariffs and who does it? It just 802 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 2: it's unclear. The Constitution makes it clear the president has 803 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 2: the ability to make foreign policy. Declaration of war can 804 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,320 Speaker 2: only be done by the Congress. All of these things 805 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 2: are vague. I do believe that without regard to who 806 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: the president is, a Democratic president and Republican president, it 807 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 2: has to be the decision of the president to do 808 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 2: tariff decisions, simply because in a negotiation, you can't go 809 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 2: back to the Congress every time one say, you know, okay, 810 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,959 Speaker 2: China says twelve percent, we say eight percent. You can't 811 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 2: keep passing a bill for your negotiating position. It's got 812 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: to be a part of the executive branch decision. The 813 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 2: one thing I will say about Trump is I would 814 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 2: advise him to stop crowing about the stock market, because 815 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 2: while indeed it has roared. It also roared during Biden. 816 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 2: And my own belief is that the stock market is 817 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 2: unbelievably overvalued. Now the thing about overvalued is it can 818 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 2: get even more of it. We saw this with the 819 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 2: housing market. Things that are way too high can get 820 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 2: way too higher. But I just look at this as 821 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,399 Speaker 2: maybe a fuddy duddy, and I look at the price 822 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 2: earnings ratios of some of these companies, and the AI 823 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 2: company strike me as they are in a bubble. I mean, 824 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: if AI turns out to be the thing that changes 825 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 2: the world, as may well it could be, then the 826 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 2: stocks are properly valued. But that doesn't mean that every 827 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 2: one of these companies is going to be successful and 828 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 2: it's AI initiate. If it's also possible that it will 829 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 2: be years before the profits ever match all the investment 830 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,280 Speaker 2: that they have coming in. So I think the stock 831 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 2: markets do for a recketing, and I think a significant pullback. 832 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 2: But again I get me wrong. But the problem with 833 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 2: bragging about the stock market is is that stock market 834 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 2: has always done two things in its history. It's gone 835 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 2: up and it's gone down. Over the long haul, it 836 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: keeps going up, but there are terrible downturns in between, 837 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 2: and the lefties will just pounce on him if it 838 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: goes down and blame him for the downturn, even though 839 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 2: they never gave him any credit for the time that 840 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 2: it went up. Another quick point here, this story might 841 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 2: have been lost of the shuffle, lost in the shuffle, 842 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 2: not under the shovel. Well, you can do it under 843 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 2: the shovel. That's not what the mob was doing in 844 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 2: those crooked card games in which John C. Willis is involved. 845 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 2: Those are card readers, as I understand it. For some reason, 846 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 2: I know about a lot about scams, even though I 847 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 2: wouldn't be any good at them. See, I could never 848 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 2: be going at cheating at cards because my fingers are 849 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 2: too fat. When I see these guys that are, you know, 850 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 2: dealing from the third card of the deck and so on, 851 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 2: I have enough time just getting them out on the 852 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 2: top card of the deck. The card reader thing, though, 853 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,839 Speaker 2: I get that you put on these glasses in which 854 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 2: you can see through the card and so on, and 855 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 2: that's that's what they were doing and doing in that. 856 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 2: But do I have to explain again? People keep emailing 857 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 2: me on this because I keep trying to explain. In 858 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 2: the famous scene from this thing, the best scene of 859 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 2: this thing when the card game thing were, how did 860 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 2: Paul Newman switch the threes to the jacks? It's what 861 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,720 Speaker 2: just I said this, Hey, you've already forgotten it, haven't, 862 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,760 Speaker 2: haven't you when he switched the cards. When he switched 863 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 2: the cards, No, it was in his pocket when he 864 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 2: went reaches to get the lighter out of the pocket, 865 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 2: that's where the cards are. Go back and watch that scene. 866 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 2: It's got like ninety five quintrillion views on YouTube. I 867 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 2: think that may be the greatest movie scene of all time, 868 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 2: don't you. You can hear the review of the train 869 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 2: tracks running and a little bit of the horn blowing 870 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 2: in the background, and just the reaction shots from the 871 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 2: other actors, plus the unbelievable you're talking in that scene. 872 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 2: Robert Shaw was just there's a great line, by the way, 873 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 2: there's a great line about Robert Shaw being taken by 874 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 2: Paul Newman in that scene. Back to back epic movies. 875 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 2: Robert Shaw got eaten by a shark. The next movie 876 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 2: it was Jaws. Jaws was right out. It was either 877 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 2: the other way around. I think it was. It was 878 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 2: this thing before Jows. But Card Show, I just, well, yeah, 879 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 2: that was the guy that set the deck and anyway, 880 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 2: it's at the beginning in the movie, so it's not 881 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 2: a spoiler giveaway. It was the setup for the remainder 882 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 2: of this thing. Is one of the great American pictures 883 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 2: in there. But when he switches the cards and it 884 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 2: was just George roy Hill was the director, and it 885 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 2: was just a spectacular correctorial scene. The music's Scott Joplin's music, 886 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 2: which was adapted by Marvin Hamleysh. It was Scott John's 887 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 2: Joplin's music and my Harvin Hamlich did the adaptation and 888 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 2: just all of that in that scene on the train 889 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 2: with the poker game, and you could smell the cigar 890 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 2: or smoke in the ear and Newman's pretending that he's drunk, 891 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 2: and the facial reactions of Shaw and the way it 892 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 2: is just the spectacular same. But he switches the cards 893 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 2: when he reaches into his pocket for the lighter, and 894 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 2: they make they do it. The director does make a 895 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 2: big deal of showing not a big deal because they 896 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: didn't want to give it away. He made a big 897 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: enough deal of the fact that Newman ReLit the cigar 898 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 2: during the middle of that hand and the relighting of 899 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 2: the cigar was the reason he had to reach into 900 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: his pocket to get the lighter, and that's where the 901 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 2: four cards were shifted. And why do you know? I've 902 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 2: also had people ask you why did you do jacks? 903 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 2: How did you know that? You know? Shaw wasn't cheating 904 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 2: And earlier in the movie, in the setup, they say 905 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 2: that's what he does. That was part of the research 906 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 2: that they had done that he's going to swap out 907 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 2: his cards and give himself nines. So he knew that 908 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 2: it had to be higher than the nights. It's a 909 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 2: lot of time explaining something there wasn't it. Sales came 910 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 2: up with Lost in the Shuffle. I think lost out 911 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 2: of the Shuffle. The leader of Canada, Mark Kearney, is 912 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 2: apologizing for that anti tariff ad that ran on football 913 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 2: in World Series game Baseball games two weeks ago and 914 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 2: then last weekend. The ad was run by the government 915 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,720 Speaker 2: of the Canadian province of Ontario and it was ripping Trump. 916 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,760 Speaker 2: Canada is trying to suck up to Trump because Trump 917 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 2: immediately retaliated with more tariffs. The thing with the Canadian 918 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 2: American battle on tariff, say, is Trump is the upferhand. 919 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 2: There's way more the America. Canada needs American trade more 920 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 2: than we need Canadian trade. Canada's tried to talk tough 921 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 2: with regard to this, but they poke this finger in 922 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 2: Trump's eyb by running this quote from Reagan and so on. Well, 923 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 2: Carney's trying to claim this wasn't the Canadian government was 924 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 2: the government of one state, be like of Trump, and 925 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 2: you could see this. Suppose California runs some stupid ad. 926 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 2: Trump could say, that's California, We apologize for that. The 927 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 2: difference here is is that the government of Ontario and 928 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 2: the Canadian government, Carney, they're both members of the Liberal Party. 929 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 2: It's the same government ad. I think Carney is just 930 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: trying to make it up to Trump after they The 931 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,760 Speaker 2: one thing you don't want to do is provoke Trump unnecessarily. 932 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,799 Speaker 2: Sometimes his adversaries will provoke him necessarily. That's the game 933 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 2: Putin's trying to play. But there's no point in provoking 934 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 2: Trump unnecessarily because Trump has made it very very clear 935 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 2: that no matter how hard you hit him, he's going 936 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 2: to hit you back even harder. Some of you may 937 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: have followed the fact that the best race source im 938 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 2: own special wand ran over the weekend on the undercard 939 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 2: of the Breeders Cup undercard, and she was not int 940 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 2: a Breeders Cup race, but she ran at del Mar 941 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 2: in the final race Saturday before the Breeders' Cup races started. 942 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 2: It was a Grade three stakes and probably ran the 943 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 2: best race of her career, and we posted it on x. 944 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 2: It was just it was as dominant a performance as 945 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 2: you can imagine. And sometimes a dirt races the horse 946 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 2: will run up by twenty five links and so on. 947 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 2: Turf racing is different. But she sat second and just 948 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 2: went to the lead, even though the jockey was restraining 949 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 2: her and trying to have her not go too fast 950 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,400 Speaker 2: too early. She did it all on her own and 951 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,399 Speaker 2: ran away and hid. She is. Today's a big day 952 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 2: for me. She is up for auction this evening. The 953 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 2: big sale of the fall is the face of Tipton 954 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 2: Sail in Kentucky, and she does go onto the auction block. 955 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 2: So the timing of a spectacular race is just perfect. 956 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 2: And anyone who buys her could retire her and breed her, 957 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 2: or they could buy her and continue to race it 958 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 2: for another year. Given the fact that she's gotten way better, 959 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 2: the one thing she hasn't done is win a Grade one. 960 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 2: She won three grade threes this year, and this was 961 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 2: a Grade three. She only ran in one Grade one 962 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 2: and she finished third in that, but she does so 963 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 2: she does go on to the auction hammer tonight, along 964 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 2: with another horse that I own. There is a thing 965 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 2: called the reserve, and I can't tell you what it is. 966 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 2: But if we don't get our price, she won't sell. 967 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 2: And it's kind of a win win situation because she's 968 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 2: so good that it would be a great thing to 969 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: continue to own and race her. But if we do 970 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 2: get a strong, solid price for her based on what 971 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 2: we think that she's worth, and we take the money, 972 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 2: and so well. You can bid online, but there's a 973 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 2: lot of the big ones are in person, but many 974 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 2: bidders are online and they're or on the phone with 975 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 2: a bitter in place, or they'll do it online and 976 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 2: they're texting somebody from the thing. The majority of the 977 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 2: bidders are there, but some of the big foreigners are not. 978 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 2: But in this particular watch it is live with the 979 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 2: people in there doing it and so on. But there 980 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 2: are others that are bidding remotely with someone in the 981 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 2: room bidding on their behalf. Then obviously it's a great 982 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 2: secret as to what the reserve would be that we have, 983 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 2: but very very thrilled with all will she did and 984 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 2: no matter which way it goes, it would I mean, 985 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 2: if we sell her, I hope it's for a wamping 986 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 2: incredible price. But if we don't sell her, got an 987 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 2: extremely good female resource. This is the Mark Belling podcast. 988 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,440 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast.

It gets earlier and earlier. 993 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 2: There's just one thing to say about this, Paul. It's 994 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 2: a good dog. One thing. We have a rough March 995 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 2: twenty six. You imagine that thing being played, and there 996 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 2: are going to be I mean, everybody opens within a 997 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,359 Speaker 2: day of one another. They're going to be other teams 998 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 2: in cold weather cities where they're going to be playing 999 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 2: baseball in March twenty six. Last this past year's all 1000 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 2: I think was later in the afternoon. I don't know 1001 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 2: if it's connected, but I do I do wonder if 1002 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 2: the fact that the opponent is the White Sox has 1003 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,240 Speaker 2: them starting at one ten because my three ten White 1004 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 2: Sox fans are going to be so I mean, Brewer 1005 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 2: fans are bombed too, but White Sox fans have a 1006 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 2: capacity for drinking not match. You know, the Cubs fans 1007 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 2: come up here and they're the pain in the butt 1008 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 2: that they were. But back in the oldiest and the 1009 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 2: ruwers in the American League, white Sox fans came up here. 1010 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 2: I mean there were fights all the time. The White 1011 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 2: Sox have been so terrible forever though that I don't 1012 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 2: know that they'd have any o their fans coming up 1013 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,919 Speaker 2: to watch them play. And plus it's their fan base 1014 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 2: is small, and then they're on the South side of Chicago. 1015 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 2: Most of their face. You know, the Cubs have a 1016 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 2: zillion fans in southern Wisconsin, but not so much White Sox. Anyway, 1017 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 2: March twenty six, or to the Thursday is Opening day 1018 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 2: for the Brewers. Other Brewers news, they did announce the 1019 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 2: gold Glove winners. That's the best fielder at each position. 1020 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 2: That was last night, and they do separate for the 1021 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 2: America in the National League, not one Brewer when a 1022 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 2: gold Glove. I'm just the Brewers had the best fielding 1023 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 2: team in baseball, and maybe the best fielding team that 1024 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Every single Brewer defensive player was outstanding, 1025 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 2: every single one. There wasn't a defender that they had 1026 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 2: on the team who wasn't good, and several that were brilliant, 1027 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 2: and not one of them won. They had two Brewers 1028 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 2: who one go gloves in the past, and neither one. 1029 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 2: There's nobody who. I can't say I watch every team's 1030 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 2: fielder in each position that closely, but r in the 1031 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 2: nation of the league them. You know what's really revolting. 1032 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 2: Three cups won Get Me Up Break, including two of 1033 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 2: them one at positions in which the Brewer Nico Horner, 1034 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 2: beat out Bryce to Rang at second base. Should I 1035 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 2: remind people of Nico Horner committing a terrible error in 1036 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 2: the playoffs against the Brewers in a series that we 1037 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 2: beat them. The right field, I mean Sal Freeley plays 1038 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 2: right field usually you know right fielder is not a 1039 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 2: good field that the Brewers have a unique situation with 1040 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 2: all of their other field there so good that sales 1041 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 2: over there on right field. He did not win in 1042 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 2: right field. Fernando Tatis Junior, the podres one, the center 1043 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 2: fielder is Pete crow Armstrong now here the Brewers. Blake 1044 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 2: Perkins is the best center fielder I think in baseball, 1045 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 2: but he played very little. He was out most of 1046 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 2: the year. Jackson Churio played the position brilliantly before he 1047 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,919 Speaker 2: came back, so I can get that the Brewer didn't 1048 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 2: win it because nobody really held on that position all year. 1049 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 2: Then Ian a half of the Cubs. He wins in 1050 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 2: left field. So I mean and again, Churio played left 1051 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 2: field and center field, and we had the other part 1052 00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 2: of the season in left field, Isaac Collins, I mean, 1053 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 2: Isaac Collins played great in left field defensively as well, 1054 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 2: but he wasn't a full time left fielder. Patrick Bailey 1055 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 2: of the Giants, I admit I don't know anything about him, 1056 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 2: but I can't see how anybody could have been a 1057 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 2: better defensive catcher than William Catreroz. So the Brewer, you know, 1058 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz was brilliant at shortstop. Mason win of the 1059 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 2: Cardinals won it there. So the Brewers didn't have a 1060 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 2: single guy to win a Gold Glove. Baseball season did 1061 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 2: end Saturday night. The World Series isn't what it used 1062 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 2: to be because the playoffs go on so long, but 1063 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 2: I will say this that was one of the greatest 1064 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 2: baseball games of all time. First of all, it's game seven, 1065 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,959 Speaker 2: which means, you know, do or die, winner, take all 1066 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 2: five to four. The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays. The 1067 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 2: Dodgers were down by a run with one out in 1068 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,919 Speaker 2: the top of the ninth inning, hit a home run 1069 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 2: off the blue Jays closer. The blue Jays bullpen wasn't 1070 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 2: very good all year to tie the game. A lot 1071 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 2: of people are talking about and I want to make 1072 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:36,920 Speaker 2: this point here, and it's how I end the podcast. 1073 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 2: I just keep explaining all the time in every sport 1074 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 2: that it is it takes an incredible amount of luck 1075 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 2: and the whole game of inches thing. When the Bocks 1076 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 2: won the NBA Championship now four years ago, some people 1077 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 2: forget that if Kevin Durant's toe was not on the 1078 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 2: three point line in Game series of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, 1079 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 2: Durant hit what should have been a three point shot 1080 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 2: to win the game. Upon replay, I'm telling you less 1081 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 2: than an inch of his toe was on the line 1082 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 2: and it was only a two. The Bucks went in overtime, 1083 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 2: went on to win the next two series, and won 1084 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 2: the NBA Championship Game of inches. There was a play 1085 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 2: in the much debated now that could have resulted in 1086 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 2: the World Series being decided on an instant replay. The 1087 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: Blue Jays had the winning run on third base. There 1088 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 2: was a ball that was hit to the Dodgers second baseman, 1089 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 2: who ended up hitting game winning homer, But prior to that, 1090 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,960 Speaker 2: the ball was hit to the Dodger second basemen. The 1091 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 2: infield is in because they have to throw to the 1092 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 2: plate to stop the winning run from scoring, and the Dodgers' 1093 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 2: second basement kind of he was off ballance when he 1094 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 2: got the ball, it had a hard time getting rid 1095 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 2: of it. The guy that was on third base for 1096 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays kind of Felifa did not have much 1097 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 2: of a lead. This is just being discussed right and left. 1098 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 2: Why when you're the winning run don't you have a 1099 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 2: huge lead in The Blue Jay had been playing it 1100 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 2: that way all year. They didn't want him doubled off 1101 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 2: a third of a line drive. As a result, he 1102 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 2: got a slower break on the ball than he might 1103 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 2: have otherwise gotten. So they throw the paw to the plate. 1104 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 2: It's bang, bang, and the umpire calls him out upon 1105 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 2: replay the game of inches. The Dodgers catcher Will Smith, 1106 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 2: in reaching for the throw, lifts his foot off the 1107 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 2: plate just a little bit as he's straining, and then 1108 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 2: of course your foot comes down. The replay he got 1109 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 2: the foot back down and contacted the plate tenth of 1110 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 2: a second before kind of Felifa got home. But if 1111 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 2: he hadn't, the replay would have overturned it and you 1112 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 2: would have had games. The Baseball's worldteries decided on a replay, 1113 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 2: which would have been debated as well. I don't think 1114 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 2: anybody would have wanted that so for and the homeplate 1115 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 2: umpire got the call correctly live, but I don't even 1116 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 2: think that he would have known that the foot came 1117 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 2: both up and down when it happened. Well, and just 1118 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 2: as just saying it just it just shows you the 1119 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 2: game of inches, you know. Component of of this, There 1120 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 2: were several other things that happened during the game in 1121 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 2: which the Blue Jays could have won. Dodgers managed to 1122 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 2: homer to tie it in the ninth in and would 1123 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 2: go ahead in the tenth, and the Blue Jays had 1124 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 2: a chance to score on the tenth and they didn't. 1125 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 2: And the other great story about the game is Yamamoto, 1126 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 2: Yoshinobul Yamamoto, the other Asian American Dodger pitcher, not Shohei Otani, 1127 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 2: who's been brilliant throughout the postseason. He did one of 1128 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 2: those things that just isn't done anymore. In fact, it's 1129 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 2: hardly ever been done. He won Game six as a 1130 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 2: starter and came in and got the final eight outs 1131 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 2: of the game in Game seven functioning as the closer. 1132 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 2: So after going I think he threw like ninety six 1133 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 2: pitches the day before he came in and got the 1134 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 2: last eight outs. He's just you know, teams don't like 1135 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 2: to use their closers and back to back nights much late, 1136 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 2: and they don't like to use the closer more than 1137 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 2: as a game said, well they went, they used whatever 1138 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 2: other start is. They took Blake Snell out of the bullten. 1139 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 2: He's the ace of the team. He pitched and he 1140 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 2: was removed, and that were just simping to use everybody. 1141 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 2: Had the game been another eighteen inning game like earlier, 1142 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 2: both teams would have run out of pitchers, but Yamamono 1143 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 2: managed to close it out in both the ninth and 1144 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 2: the tenth. The Dodger that Blue Days could have won 1145 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 2: the game outright in the ninth and then tied it 1146 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,560 Speaker 2: in the tenth with that one run league and he 1147 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 2: pitched his way through it. So this whole thing, Wow, 1148 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 2: the Dodgers shouldn't have want I look past all. It 1149 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 2: was just a great game.
