The Markbelling Podcast is a 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: I think I have a segment here that will offer 6 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: a very revealing insight into how leftists think. Let me 7 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: set it up for a second. One of the things 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: that I've commented on is just the number of issues 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: at which liberals have created totally new positions to adopt 10 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: that they never held even a few years ago. Some 11 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: it was a gradual change. It used to be that 12 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: the party that was most opposed to illegal immigration was 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: the Democrats because the unions were threatened by cheap labor 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: coming in to steal away good paying unionized jobs. And 15 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: it was Republicans that kind of looked the other way 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: because a lot of businesses were happy to get this 17 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: cheap labor. That's an issue that they've clearly shifted on. 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: But look at how they've abandoned women's rights and instead 19 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: embraced whatever trans rights are, allowing men to compete against 20 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: women in sports and so on. That's a rather brand 21 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: new position for them to take. In the meantime, Trump 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: has moved to the middle and any number of issues 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: and has adopted positions that used to be, if anything, liberal, 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: in particular his strong belief in negotiation as opposed to 25 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: the use of military force and so on. It makes 26 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: you wonder what's going on in the leftist mind. And 27 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: I think I have some insight here for them identity 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: And this part's not new. We all know that they've 29 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: been consumed by identity politics. White people are terrible, men 30 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: are terrible, toxic, masculinity, white privilege, all of this stuff. 31 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: They are consumed by identity over two other eye words 32 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: issues in ideology, the identity, the who they are, not 33 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: what they think, but who your background, your racial identity, 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: how you identify in terms of your gender and your 35 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: sexual identity. All of that, all of it Trump's issues 36 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: and ideology. Let's go back to the Kamala Harris campaign. 37 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: You know, before she lost to Trump, liberals were very 38 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: confident she was going to win. Remember all the statements 39 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: that are made. One of the greatest campaigns in presidential history. 40 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: I remember watching the battle axes on the view in 41 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: a clip clip was played by every conservative podcast through 42 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: out there because after the fact that just showed how 43 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: stupid these people were, and they were bragging about how 44 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: incredible Kamala's campaign was. In one of the commenters said, 45 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: one of the women of the view said, maybe it 46 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: was on MSNBC. She even got Queen Latifa to endorse her. 47 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: Queen Latifa never endorses is if that meant something? Or 48 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: the fact that she paid Beyonce for an endorsement, Well, 49 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: Beyonce is someone that African Americans identify with, that women 50 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: identify with. All of this is the identity her own 51 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: obsession with creating this fake backstory of her life. I 52 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: worked at McDonald's, I struggled on the streets, and then 53 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: claiming every racial identity that she can come up with, 54 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: all of an identity, identity, identity, and her statement recently, 55 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm the most qualified kennedyate ever to run for president. 56 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: And she based this on simply the jobs that she had, 57 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: not anything that she did in any of those jobs. 58 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: Y is what drives them, Which brings me to this 59 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: example that I want to share here to open up 60 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: the podcast, and I'll tease it before I give you 61 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: a little euline information here in the following way. It's 62 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: an old joke about a guy who falls out of 63 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: the upper deck in a football stadium and lands in 64 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: the end zone and thinks he's scored a touchdown because 65 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: he's in the end zone. The point of the joke 66 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: is that someone, because they got something, thought that they 67 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: did something to deserve it, or that they were special 68 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: simply because they got that. There's been zillions of other 69 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: examples of it. Anyway, I'll come up with my specific 70 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 2: case that I want to talk about, which is kind 71 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: of hilarious in addition to be revealing in just a 72 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: moment here.

She's written a book, so she's out 82 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: there on a book tour. The downside for her is 83 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: if you write a book and you want to publicize 84 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: the book, you have to go and do interviews that 85 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: if we've learned anything. The one thing in life that 86 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: she's terrible at is answering questions, which means she was 87 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: really ill suited to have a position of answering questions. Now, 88 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: I think KJP has to be given cut some slack, 89 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: only because she was being asked to defend the indefense 90 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: of everything under Biden was a disaster and Biden was 91 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: breaking down mentally and everyone knew it, and she had 92 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: to get up there and lie and say that it 93 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: wasn't Inflation exploded out of control, and she somehow had 94 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: to be claiming that this wasn't a bad thing. Twenty 95 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: million people were crossing the border illegally, war was breaking 96 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: out all over the world. Everything was going to hell. 97 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: It'd be hard for somebody who was good at it 98 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: to defend this, much less her, and she was terrible. 99 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: So in her attempt to salvage her image, she came 100 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: out after the election and said, I'm not a Democrat anymore. 101 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna describe myself as an independent. And now 102 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: she's written this book and she's of course doing interviews, 103 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: and they're only on the friendliest possible sources. I mean, 104 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: she just bopping from one MSNBC show to another, and 105 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: then a CNN show and then going over to really 106 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: really lefty podcasts, but even there they have to ask 107 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: her something. Now the following cut and I want you 108 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: to listen to it closely, because I say, you just 109 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: get I think, an insight into leftism. This is on 110 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: MSNBC where the coach, the host rather throws her a 111 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: softball on the way she handled her job. It's not 112 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: just that she ducked the question, it's what she said. 113 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: So I want you to listen to this closely. 114 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: I'm look, it's a simple no, no, no, because you're 115 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: asking for a yes or no question. 116 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 4: I want to put some context to it too. 117 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: I woke up every day. I woke up every day 118 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: very proud to be the White House pre Secretary. 119 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 5: I woke up every. 120 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: Day as a as a black woman who is queer, 121 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: who had never no one had ever i've seen someone 122 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: like me at that podium, standing behind that lectern. It 123 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: was an honor and a privilege to have that job, 124 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: and I did it to the best of my abilities. 125 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: That's her answer. 126 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: No. 127 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: What he asked her is is there anything you would 128 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: have said differently? And her response is it's the same 129 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: answer she's giving constantly. It's the same statement always, I'm 130 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: black and queer. I'm black and queer. She can't stop 131 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: saying that sentence. And nobody's ever seen anyone like me 132 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: in that job. Nobody's ever seen anyone who's black. No 133 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: one has ever seen anyone who's queer. If you're wondering 134 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: what the identification of queer is, that's one of those 135 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: terms that went from being a slur to something that 136 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: has been embraced by people who have an alternate sexual identity. 137 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: The one that she's describing she has and she self 138 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: identifies as queer, and she uses that word constantly. But 139 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 2: did you see her answer? None of this? Could you 140 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: have done a better job? Said, I got that job. 141 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: That was not how you did it. And I got 142 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: that job. She's the person who fell out of the 143 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: end zone, fell out of the upper deck and landed 144 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: in the end zone and thinking she scored a touchdown 145 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: just because she got there. The how well she did 146 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: is not doesn't matter. She's saying she is a success 147 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: because she was seen doing this, even if she was 148 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: utterly incompetent at it. You see therefore in that answer, 149 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 2: the way she expresses herself that what matters is her identity. 150 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: I am black and I am queer, and I was 151 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: the White House Press secretary, which, when you think about it, 152 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: is the reason she got that job. People have raised 153 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: this question, and you'll hear in a segment here reference 154 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: to it. John Kirby was the other guy who did 155 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: the White House press briefings, white guy. He was better 156 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: at it than her. But Joe Biden didn't want a 157 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: boring white guy, and Democrats don't want a boring white 158 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: guy out there. They wanted somebody with her frizzy, curly 159 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: hair and all of different identities. As she keeps obsessively saying, 160 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: she won't shut up as I'm black and queer, I'm 161 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: black and queer, I'm black and queer, again and again 162 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: and again. Pus said, what does that matter? But that's 163 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: my point. It is all that matters to them, just 164 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: as from Kamally Harris's perspective, So what if Beyonce doesn't saying, 165 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: so what if I have to pay somebody to endorse me? 166 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: I have her endorsement. I'm the first to do this. 167 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm the first to do that. Nowhere in any of 168 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: that equation does what you think, or what you do, 169 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: or whether you were successful coming and play to it. 170 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: Now here's the next cut. She gave that answer, and 171 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: other leftists are very, very uncomfortable trying to defend it. 172 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: Let's go over to another network, Jake Tappers on CNN, 173 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: and they've got one of their Tolkien conservatives on the panel. 174 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: Her name is Katy Miller. She's a podcaster, and Katie Miller, 175 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: of course, is mocking the idiotic answer that Kamala Herris Gabe. 176 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: And you're going to hear in this cut, the back 177 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: and forth in which Jake Tapper his best defensive her is, well, 178 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: before she got that job, she didn't seem like an idiot. 179 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: He doesn't even deny that she's an idiot. But I 180 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: want you to listen through and listen to what happens 181 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: after Katie Miller responds to Jake Tapper. 182 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 6: What I think you're seeing and what Karen is attesting 183 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 6: to is that she is quite incompetent to do the 184 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 6: job right. This is what Republicans have been saying for 185 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 6: years now. Is that she is just another evidence that 186 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 6: DEI doesn't work. Whether that's in the White House in 187 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 6: your press secretary role, or whether that's a you know, 188 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 6: an air traffic controller, an air pilot, whether that's your doctor. 189 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 6: You know, you want to hire the best for the role, 190 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 6: not just based on skin color. Jake, why did she 191 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 6: get the job over John Kirby. She used to be 192 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 6: a commentator on CNN, then two was one on MSNBC, 193 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 6: and she was. 194 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: Good at that. 195 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 4: Like I mean, I'm without getting into the job. 196 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: I thought she did as Press secretary. 197 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 6: I thought it didn't seem crazy to me because she 198 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 6: was eloquent as a as a commentator. Why she trained 199 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: every four sentences to say she is a black, queer 200 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 6: LGBTQ woman, because that's how she's been promoted her entire career. Anyway, 201 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 6: Katie Miller and Karen Finny, thank you so much. 202 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: That interview was then ended. He moved on prematurely because 203 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: Tamper was so uncomfortable when Katie Miller said, why does 204 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 2: KJP always say every four sentences she's black, queer, lgbt 205 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus Tamper was very uncomfortable with the term queer 206 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: coming out of Katie Millard's mouth, even though it's the 207 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: term the KJP uses herself. Paul said, in one of 208 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: my references, I said Kamally Harrison, not Karine Jean Pierre. 209 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: So if I did that, all of the someone talking 210 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: about KJP anyway. So Jake Tapper himself is very, very 211 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 2: uncomfortable with somebody who isn't self identifying as queer using 212 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: that term, even though all she was doing is drawing 213 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: attention to the fact that KJP herself will not shut 214 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: up about it. And the point that Katy Miller was 215 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: making is this is what DEI is, identity over any accomplishment. 216 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 2: She was the ultimate DEI higher, not because she was 217 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: going to be any good at her job, because she 218 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: was all of these things. It's the same thing that 219 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: led to all of these incompetent leftist hacks being named 220 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: president of Ivy League universities. It's all over. So I 221 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: think you see in this illustration how people on the 222 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: left are only concerned with identity in terms of issues. 223 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: They don't know where they stand, which is why they 224 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: will change on a dime when their leadership tells them to. 225 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: None of them are socialists until they decided they were socialists, 226 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: and then they're all socialists. They used to all hate 227 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: anti Semitism until they became anti semitic, and now they're 228 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: all anti semitic. The issue doesn't matter. They don't know 229 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: what to do on anything because nothing they ever do works, 230 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: so they don't know what to think. They do what 231 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: they're told and focus merely then on identification, which is 232 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: why the things that trip their trigger is when they 233 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: get to rip an identification that they don't embrace, like masculinity, 234 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: toxic masculinity, white privilege. We don't even know what those 235 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: terms mean, but we do know is they're saying we're not. 236 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: That identity is to them the be all and the 237 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: end all. I want to move to a local story. 238 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: There is now national backlash being directed against a school 239 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: in the Milwaukee area. Here's the backstory. Heard me reference 240 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: it a couple of times on past podcasts and all demand. 241 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: In the city of Wauka Shaw, Rico Camacho posted a 242 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: weekend and a half ago, now about two weekends ago, 243 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: that there was an ice raid underway in downtown Waka 244 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: Shaw and freaked out all sorts of people. There wasn't 245 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: an ice raid. Don't walk a Shaw. There. Ice wasn't 246 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: in downtown walker Shaw. The whole thing was wraw. What 247 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: was going on is a private security company was having 248 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: a drill and some people saw this privates and they're 249 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: probably wearing security company unions, and somehow in their goofed 250 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: up mindsn this is Ice didn't even do with immigration 251 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: or anything. It was simply a drill that of privates. 252 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: And I don't know if they were, you know, drilling 253 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: on what to do in a terror or whatever it was, 254 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: but they're just doing a drill. That's all it was. 255 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: In this idiot Camacho goes on social media it says 256 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: there's an ice raid underway in downtown Waukeshaw. He apologized 257 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: for putting out his misinformation, but he also got fired 258 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: from his full time job, which is he was a teacher, 259 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: just hired in August at Waukeshaw Catholic Memorial. They haven't 260 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: said why he was fired, but they've implied that he 261 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: violated their social media policy, which numerous employers have. We 262 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: have one here. There's any number of things that if 263 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: I said on social media can get me canned. Anyway. 264 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: Since this has occurred, there's now a national backlash. It 265 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: started with the lawyer for the butcher of Shadey Robinson, 266 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: Anthony Cotton, started raising a stake. So he's now moved 267 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: from defending somebody who sliced up an African American woman 268 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: to defending a person who tried to panic the community 269 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: that there was an ice raid going on. Cotton said 270 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: that this is terrible that Camacho got fired. Okayme made 271 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: a mistake and he shouldn't Nobo, you shouldn't get fired 272 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: for this. In the meantime, move on dot org, big 273 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 2: time national leftist organization, has a nationwide petition. It's all 274 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: of our social media demanding the Catholic Memorial be targeted. 275 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: They want to target the donors to Catholic Memorial and 276 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: demand a boycott of donations until Catholic Memorial reverses this decision. 277 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: All right, A lot to unpack here, regardless of whether 278 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: or not what Camancho said was a fireable offense from 279 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: his teaching position. I've said on my show and now 280 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: my podcast a zillion times. I'm just telling you a 281 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: zillion times, the left condition out. They can't take it. 282 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 2: Do you realize how many people on the right have 283 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 2: had their careers ruined because of some dumb thing they 284 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 2: said on social media. And every time somebody on the 285 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: right says something that's slightly askew on social media, the 286 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: left demands our heads, and it has been pointing out 287 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 2: forever they better think about the consequences of this every 288 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: single thing you do on social media as a career ender, 289 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: because it might at some point be turned against them. 290 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: When you take a look at the number of people 291 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: on the right who have suffered terribly because of a 292 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: social media comment, and you could say, well, they deserve 293 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 2: to suffer, they didn't. The list goes on forever, and 294 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 2: it's almost always someone on the left. In this case, 295 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: you have an individual who's got public figure in terms 296 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: of being an Alderman and a public profile in terms 297 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: of being a school teacher, either recklessly and dangerously spreading 298 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: false information. We're told didn't even see it himself, that 299 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: somebody just told him, which got into go and jump 300 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: and claim something factual was going on. You live by 301 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: the sword, you die by the sword. And it's the 302 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: left that has created these rules that if you say 303 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: anything at all that is wrong on social media, your 304 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: career is wiped out. It will be interesting to see 305 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: if Catholic Memorial caves the Mega movement, Trump and so 306 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: on has done a much better job than we conservatives 307 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: have done in the past in dishing it out to 308 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: the left. And as you can see, they can't take anything. 309 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 2: Every time Trump or anytime anybody in Mega goes after 310 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: anybody on the left, they squeal in horror. But the 311 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: left is still better at applying the pressure. So we'll 312 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: see whether or not Catholic Memorial caves that the lefties 313 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: are going out after them. Interestingly, of the two positions 314 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: that he obviously Catholic Memorial, it's a Catholic school and 315 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: so on. They don't expect their teachers to go out 316 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: and make false statements that are damaging statements and dangerous 317 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: statements on social media. Are not allowed to do it, 318 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: without regard to whether or not he's an all of 319 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: it or not. But it was certainly a greater breach 320 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: of his responsibility as an official of the city. If 321 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: there was an ice raid going on, which there wasn't, 322 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: he should keep his mouth shut and support a law 323 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 2: enforcement agency that's conducting a law enforcement operation in his 324 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: own city. It is also another indication of how the 325 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: left just loses its marbles on anything pertaining to wise 326 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: to the point now that they are going nuts over ice. 327 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: What it is? It even ice? Somebody's an it's ice. 328 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 2: There's all these like you watch these YouTube videos. There's 329 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: all these people. This has become a thing to be 330 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 2: a police impersonator. Now there's a build in the Wisconsin legislation, 331 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: you do up the penalties for it. In most states 332 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: that there isn't much of a penalty for. It's a 333 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: very dangerous thing. You know, somebody's driving around with a 334 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: car that looks like a cop car, and we're in 335 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 2: a uniform that looks like a cop uniform and having 336 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: a badge on that looks like a cop badge, and 337 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: having the gun bill down that looks and it can 338 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 2: be very very dangerous if the person is not a 339 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: real cop and is out to do harm to people. 340 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: I think that these rent a cops might, these fake 341 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 2: cops out there might want to consider some of these 342 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 2: lefties are gonna think you're ice and they're gonna come 343 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: and try to try to finish you off because they 344 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: think they see someone in a uniform, they think it's ice. 345 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: Oh yes, poor Walmart security, what that's ice? Over there, 346 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: the Walmart head. I'm just the Walmart security guy. Let 347 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: me update you on another story. I have a problem 348 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: with the way this one's been handled. This deals with 349 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: an automobile crash that occurred earlier this year. In fact, 350 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 2: it was Super Bowl Sunday. It occurred in Wakashaw County. 351 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: A guy went to a bar and got himself blasted 352 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: watching the Super Bowl. According to the criminal complaint, he 353 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: said he had about admitted he had about six drinks 354 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: at a bar. Then he went over to another bar 355 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: and had another four. He ended up driving the wrong 356 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: way on Moreland Road in New Berlin. Moreland Road is 357 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: a north south People confused Moreland Road with Moreland Boulevard, 358 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: but Moreland Road runs right to the middle of Brookfield 359 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: and then New Berlin to the south of Brookfield, goes 360 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: all the way down I forty three and beyond and 361 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: so on. It is a major thoroughfare, and a good 362 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: chunk of it is divided. He was going the wrong 363 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: way on Moreland and crashed into a New Berlin squad 364 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: car the guys from Muskego. My guess is he was 365 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: headed home to misqus Ego bombed and crashed head on 366 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: going the wrong way into a squad car. They tested 367 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: his blood alcohol content and it comes back at point 368 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: one six, which is double the legal limit for drunk driving. 369 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: The other thing on these tests is the blood test 370 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 2: often is taken. It could take up to two to 371 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: three hours. The blood test. That's not what you blow 372 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: in on the side of the road. The blood test 373 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: is they have to take you to a hospital and 374 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: do a blood draw, and that's after you're arrested. Sometimes 375 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 2: it's after your book. It can take a fair amount 376 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: of time. At another of any event, he was way 377 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: over the limit. He's on the wrong side of the freeway. 378 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: When this story initially occurred, the reaction is this is 379 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: again somebody there can't read English. How are they on 380 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: the right? And it wasn't. It's a guy who knows 381 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: the area. He was just that drunk, he's going the 382 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 2: wrong way and drove head on into a police car. 383 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: The officer was injured, but not severely broke a finger, 384 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 2: banged up. The case was resolved in Walkashaw County Circuit Court. 385 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: One of the newer judges he was he's a non incumbent. 386 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: He ran unopposed and was elected in April I have 387 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: a problem with all these judges that are unopposed, in 388 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 2: particular when they're running. The first time, he ran as 389 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: a Conservative and he is endorsed by all the Conservatives. 390 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: He handled this case. There was a plea bargain in 391 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: which the defendant his name is David A. Scott. And 392 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: again David Scott's a very common name. This guy lives 393 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: in Muschigo. He's fifty seven years old, and he's the 394 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: one who did it. So if you know a David Scott, 395 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 2: don't assume that it's this one. This is a A. 396 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: Scott from Muskego. He pleaded guilty to some charges and 397 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: others were dismissed, but read in read in means the 398 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 2: judge can consider them at sentencing. He was also charged 399 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: with bail jumping after the arrest, but those charges always 400 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 2: get dismissed. There's no reason at all, so far as 401 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 2: I can tell, for anybody to follow the conditions of 402 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: their bail because they never do anything. Is somebody who's 403 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: accused of bail jumping if they're then convicted of the 404 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 2: other offense. Among the charges that were ready in our 405 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 2: second are three counts of second degree recklessly endangering safety 406 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: and one count of causing an injury while operating with 407 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: a pac over the legal limit. He pleaded guilty to 408 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: second or more offense of OWI causing injury and second 409 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: degree recklessly endangering safety. So second offense OWI with the 410 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 2: enhancer of causing injury and then second degree recklessly endangering safety. 411 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: Those are both felonies. In other words, he was, even 412 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: after the plea bargain, convicted on serious charges and the 413 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: case was aggravated in terms of the impact. Here he's 414 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: not only going the wrong way while drunkey hits a 415 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: vehicle at squad Kinn the cop was hurt. The judge 416 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: in the case is Scott Wagner, brand new judge again. 417 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: The guy ran as a conservative in maybe he is, 418 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: Maybe he isn't. I admit I, oh, didn't know much 419 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: of anything about him when he ran the sentence four 420 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: months in jail, four months the rest probation. No, this 421 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 2: isn't just drunk driving. It's a repeat offense. But secondly, 422 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: it's drunk driving on the wrong side of the road. 423 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: We had drove straight into a vehicle. It hurt the driver, 424 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: who happened to be a cop. Four months. He's lucky. 425 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 2: The cop didn't die because obviously then you're talking lengthy 426 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 2: prison but four months, so it's too early to make 427 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: a permanent decision on this new judge Wagner. But my 428 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 2: first impression of him is is that he's a clown 429 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: show who said that he was a conservative and then 430 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: can't pull the trigger when he has somebody who was. 431 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I just think people are fed up with 432 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: these cars going the wrong way on the freeway, wrong 433 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: way on the roads, and so on. It's happening all 434 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: the time, and in this case, by his own admission, 435 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 2: he was drinking like crazy four months. So this guy 436 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: over there is judge. There's a lot of judges named Wagner. 437 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: This is Scott Wagner Walker Shaw County. He's unnoticed. He 438 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: seems to be auditioning to be to displace Ralphie Ramirez 439 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: as the biggest clown showed judge and Walker Shaw Cony. 440 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: I think this sentence is a disgrace. I don't think 441 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: that the guy needs to spend ten years in prison, 442 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: but it was beyond mitigation. There's numerous factors that led 443 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: up to this and it resulted in an individual of 444 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: all the people that are getting themselves blasted on Super 445 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: Bowl Sunday. There weren't many of them that managed to 446 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: on Moreland Road, go the wrong way and drive into 447 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: a cop four months four months? Should I say four months? 448 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: One more time? Paul said, maybe what are four months? 449 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark 450 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: Belling podcast. I mean, what do you think about it? Well, 451 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: Trump is pulling off as is extraordinary. There is some 452 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: sense that there is more hype than substances some of this, 453 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: and maybe that's true, maybe it isn't. But Trump gets 454 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: in a plane, gets an Air Force one and bops 455 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: all over Asia and comes back with trade deals right 456 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 2: and left, including this surprise meeting with the g of China. 457 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: They did not reach a permanent deal, but Trump issued 458 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: a statement claiming significant progress was gained the China situation. 459 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: Of all the countries that we have trade, but I 460 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: think the two big ones to deal with are Cana 461 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: In China, we do massive trade with Canada, and Canada 462 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: has been raping US forever and so is China. And 463 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: Trump has been determined. He's he vowed to do it, 464 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: and it was running for president for the second term 465 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: here that he was going to do a reset. He 466 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: made progress in the first term. Biden none did all 467 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: of it. China has some leverage over the United States. 468 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: It's a difficult situation. And Trump, as has been his 469 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: wont w ont want. Won't you ever heard of that word? Won't? Well, 470 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: it's it's a word, as is his like way of 471 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: doing things. It's not want is in the contraction wo 472 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: in apostrophe T. I think it's pronounced want as his 473 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: his want. Well, that's what it is. I admit it's 474 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: a nine dollars word that it didn't have to use, 475 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: so I have to explain therefore the word anyway, Trump 476 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: plays his own good cop bad cop. He was going 477 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: to go to China a few weeks ago. Then he canceled, 478 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: said there's no point in it because China slept a 479 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: big tariff on some of the rare earth minerals and 480 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 2: so on. All right, then Chump runs an end run 481 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: around him, makes a trade deal with China, made a 482 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: trade deal with Cambodia. He had earlier cut a trade 483 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 2: deal with Vietnam. All of those countries undercut China. You 484 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 2: see here The threat to China is if some of 485 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: these companies move their production to other countries in Southeast 486 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: Asia that can affect them. So Trump does that first 487 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: goes over to G and he issued the following statement 488 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: describing the deal. Now, again this is not finalized, but 489 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: Trump's statement implies that significant progress occurred. I had a 490 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: truly great meeting with President G of China. There is 491 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: enormous respect between our two countries, and that will only 492 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: be enhanced by with what just took place. We agreed 493 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: on many things, with others even of high importance, being 494 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 2: very close to resolved. I was extremely honored by the 495 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: fact that President G authorized China to begin the purchase 496 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: of massive amounts of soybean, sorghum, and other farm products. 497 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. Some of the American agriculture products, 498 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: like soybeans in particular, the whole world uses them and 499 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: way more than they produce, way more than we need 500 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: in the United States, and China's just had tariffs on 501 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: our stuff. This is been a big thing for farmers, 502 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 2: especially in the parts of the country, and that's the 503 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: mid section on particularly soybeans and continuing. Our farmers will 504 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: be very happy. In fact, as I said once before 505 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: during my first administration, farmers should immediately go out and 506 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: buy more at land and larger tractors. I would like 507 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: to thank President g for this. The key that Trump's 508 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: pointing out here is we all know that there's been 509 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: this issue of farmland being subdivided and so on. If 510 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: we can finally start exporting more of our agriculture of 511 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: products because other countries stop putting these tariffs on them, 512 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: it's a growth industry for agriculture continuing. Additionally, China has 513 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 2: agreed to continue the flow of rare earth critical minerals, magnets, etc. 514 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: Openly and freely. Very significantly, China has strongly stated that 515 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: they will work diligently with us to stop the flow 516 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 2: of fenool into our country. This will help us end 517 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 2: the fenerol crisis. It goes on, say name, but there's 518 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 2: Trump bopping around doing this. He's I think, getting back 519 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: to the United States today. Nineteen other things are going 520 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 2: to happen here. He's going to do whatever he can 521 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: to leverage the Congress to pass the bill to fund 522 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: the federal government and so on, without regard to whether 523 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: you agree with him on most of these things. And 524 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: I think a better trade deal with China is something 525 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 2: that unless you just hate Trump, everyone would agree with 526 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: the level of activity from this president has been extraordinary. 527 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: I now want to move to the story that keeps 528 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: hanging over this country, and that is the growing information 529 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: we have about the misconduct that occurred during the Biden 530 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: administration directed word promp. I want to first focus on 531 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: the leftist hypocrisy here. We're celebrating here in twenty five, 532 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: the fiftieth anniversary of all things Watergate. It's the fiftieth 533 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 2: aniversary of Nixon resigning. The break in was last year, 534 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: you know, so all the Woodward and Bernstein retrospectives are 535 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: coming back. Watergay, water Gay, Watergate, Watergate, and it's been 536 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: written by more than a few people that jordy of 537 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: Americans may not have been alive when Watergate was going on, 538 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: and they don't even know what the scandal was, or 539 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 2: they misunderstand the scandal and think that there was this 540 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 2: small little break in that they tried to cover up. 541 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 2: In fact, the cover up was because the break in 542 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 2: exposed the larger scandal that was going on that was 543 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: pervasive in Nixon's administration. The famous movie All the President's Men, 544 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: which is based on the book that was written by 545 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: Woodward and Bernstein and starred Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, 546 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: who played bernstand At Woodward. Hel Holbrooke played one of 547 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 2: Woodward's primary sources. He was not identified until decades later. 548 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 2: It was Mark Feld who was the number two of 549 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 2: the FBI, but he was dubbed because they never named 550 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 2: him deep Throat, and he got the deep Throat. If 551 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: you're not aware, if people need to know what deep throat, 552 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: where the name came Do you know where it came from. 553 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 2: It's a porno movie. It was like the first big 554 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 2: porno movie and it it's Destiny with blood woman performing 555 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: a sexual act that I'm in Deep Throat And the 556 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: name came to be applied here because the source was 557 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 2: on deep background. Deep background means you don't even identify 558 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 2: that he's in the administration. You don't use anything to 559 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: identify deep background, and one of the editors came up 560 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 2: with deep Throat. This is a segment from the movie. 561 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 2: Deep Throat was played by hel Holbrook who at the 562 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 2: time was a really big actor, And all the meetings 563 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 2: were in this parking garage, and every scene that they 564 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: shot with Deep Throat, he's in the shadows of the 565 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 2: parking garage. You never really saw hell Hobook's face. But 566 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 2: I want you to listen to the content because this 567 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 2: was the thing that drove the left during Nixon and 568 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: for decades afterwards to why Watergate was so serious. It 569 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 2: was that they were using the entire government to stack 570 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 2: the deck against their political adversaries. Listen to this cut 571 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: here of deep. 572 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 5: Throat and it was a Harman operation. 573 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: Stop the tape for a second. Haldeman was the White 574 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 2: House Chief of Staff. HR Haldeman so deep throat to say, 575 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: this is the very top of the administration. He'll go 576 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 2: through some other names that some of you may not 577 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 2: know back from the Watergate days, but he's naming the 578 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 2: biggest player, the people that ran Nixon's presidency. 579 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 5: And it was a Horrorman operation. The whole business was 580 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 5: run by Alderman, the money, everything. It won't be easy 581 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 5: getting at him. He was insulated. You'll have to find 582 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 5: out how Mitchell started doing covert stuff before anyone else. 583 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 5: The list is longer than anyone can imagine. It involves 584 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 5: the entire US intelligence community, FBI, CIA and Justice. It's 585 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 5: incredible cover up had little to do with Watergate. It 586 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 5: was mainly to protect the covert operations. It leads everywhere. 587 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 5: Get out your notebook. There's more, all. 588 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 2: Right, That was the scene. The point is it was 589 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 2: the entire government. They were conducting covert operations, and those 590 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 2: covert operations including trying to rig the demoocratic primaries. In 591 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy two election. They were terrified of the 592 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 2: candidacy of Ed Muskie, senator from Maine, who is something 593 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 2: of a moderate. They wanted to run against McGovern, the 594 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 2: radical liberal. They managed to crash out Muskie's campaign by 595 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: spreading a fake letter that he never wrote. They were 596 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 2: not only were trying to bug the Watergate, they were 597 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 2: spying on Democrats. They were conducting illegal political operations all 598 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 2: over the place. There was also people brought up that 599 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 2: we learned from the White House tapes that Nixon was 600 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: threatening to take away the broadcast licenses of TV stations 601 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 2: that were owned by the big lefty newspapers and so 602 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: leberals are horrified by this, horrified that the government tools 603 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 2: were used to spy on their political adversaries. Fifty years later, 604 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 2: we now know that that happened again, only far more pervasively. 605 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,919 Speaker 2: The code name for it was Operation Arctic Frost. This 606 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: is the operation that came out of the Department of 607 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 2: Justice in the FBI and included all the intelligence agencies 608 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 2: and were now just beginning to learn the scope the 609 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 2: number of Republican politicians and conservative organizations that were targeted 610 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz's phone was tapped. Other senator's phones were tapped. 611 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: Numerous conservative organizations were put under surveillance. Catherine Herridge, formerly 612 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 2: of CBS News I want to quote from her post 613 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: Arctic Frost dragnet expands plus four hundred GOP targets. According 614 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 2: to new records provided through legally protected whistleblower disclosures to 615 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 2: Senator Chuck Grassley, one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas sought testimony, records, 616 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: and communications related to at least four hundred and thirty 617 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 2: named Republican individuals and entities. Some of the records Special 618 00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 2: Consul Jacksmith's subpoened from banks, individuals, and business. This is 619 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 2: included communications with media companies CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, 620 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: Sinclair and others. Communications with any member, employ or agent 621 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 2: of the legislative branch of the US government. Communications with 622 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 2: White House advisors such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Jared Kushner, 623 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 2: Laura Trump statistical data and analysis relating to donors and 624 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 2: fundraising efforts, broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities, 625 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 2: plus seventeen hundred pages. That's Hariage quoting from the documents 626 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:40,959 Speaker 2: that Senator Grassley has gotten from whistleblowers. Sean Davis's post 627 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 2: on text new Arctic Frost whistleblower documents showed that the 628 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 2: corrupt Biden FBI subpoenaed the bank records, donor lists, and 629 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 2: emails of nearly every major conservative organization and leader in 630 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 2: the country, including Donald Trump's campaign, the RNC, Conservative Partnership Institute, 631 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 2: Save America, America First Policy Institute, and even my pillow. 632 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: My pillow, of course, because the guy who ran it 633 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 2: was claiming the election was Reagar, et cetera. Now, before 634 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 2: I get to the next one, my comment here. Remember 635 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 2: why Nixon went down in Watergate. Many of you don't. 636 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 2: It's because the Republicans turned against him. In order to 637 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 2: be impeached and removed via conviction, you needed two thirds vote. 638 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 2: You needed only a majority vote to impeach, but to 639 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 2: remove and Senate trial two thirds. And the Senate Republicans 640 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: abandoned Nixon because once they saw what the evidence was, 641 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: they said, we cannot have this. Fifty years later, far 642 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 2: worse occurred the same type of thing, using all of 643 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 2: the mechanisms of government to surveil, spy, investigate members of 644 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 2: the opposition party, and not a Democrat was bothered by 645 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 2: it instead. And here's the great irony there they are 646 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 2: worrying about no and Trump targeting its enemies. When you 647 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 2: add this when you had virtually every prominent conservative in 648 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 2: America and the crossyards of numerous federal agencies. This posts 649 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 2: from the House Judiciary Committee was Senator Grassay on the 650 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 2: Senate Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Oversight to believe 651 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 2: the first This now from the House Judiciary Committee posting 652 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 2: new Arctic Frost documents reveal even further wide ranging investigation 653 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: by Biden's d or Jay to takedown President Trumpety supporters highlights. 654 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 2: Arctic Frost Investigators utilized FBI field officism across the country 655 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 2: to conduct its investigation. Arctic Frost Investigators requested sixteen thousand 656 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 2: dollars to travel to conduct more than forty interviews forty 657 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 2: five individuals, including Steve Bann and Scott Perry, Rudolph Giuliani, 658 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows were potentially under investigation. 659 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 2: Another one hundred eleven individuals, including Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, 660 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: Jeff Rosen, and Ed Martin were also potentially under investigation, 661 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 2: and then they provide a link to the documents. This 662 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 2: was clearly more extensive than Watergate. The difference is that 663 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: because it was the Democrats that did it, there was 664 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 2: no media to expose it. There was no Woodward in 665 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 2: Bernstein trying to get to the bottom of this. Instead, 666 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 2: they were doing the opposite. They were the recipient of 667 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: the leagues indicating these people were under target for investigation 668 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 2: because of all these the various things that they must 669 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 2: have done. There was a time in which in this 670 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 2: country there was principle that there were some things we 671 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 2: would not allow the government to do. Without regard to 672 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 2: whether it was Democrats and the government Republicans in the government. 673 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 2: I still think most Republicans have some standards and there 674 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 2: were certain things that they would not all want a 675 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: Republican government to do. For the Democrats, it's all gone. 676 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 2: The whole Watergate thing was all forty Maybe the Democrats 677 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 2: of the time would not have stood for it, but 678 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 2: they're clearly standing for it now, and in fact, when 679 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 2: Prumpt's people now try to expose the waterged of our 680 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 2: times Arctic frost, it's Trump's the bag guy for going 681 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 2: after his enemies, even though the enemies he's going after 682 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,959 Speaker 2: are the ones who started it by illegally not only 683 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 2: surveilling him, but just about every other prominent conservative in America. 684 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 2: I wouldn't I'm a small potato here in Milwaukee, but 685 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 2: would I say I would be shocked if I found 686 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 2: out that they were looking in I wouldn't be shocked. 687 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 2: This thing has gone everywhere. You got like eighty five 688 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: different people in Turning Point that were under this imagined 689 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 2: all the other conservative organizations. This I believe was with 690 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 2: January sixth, and the overreaction to it was all about 691 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 2: it is the excuse that the right is involved in insurrections, 692 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 2: so therefore we've got to investigate all of them, which 693 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 2: is why they hype the whole thing. And one final 694 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 2: story here, there is a piece in the Washington Post 695 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 2: that appeared yesterday. It's a seemingly minor story, but it's 696 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 2: one of those stories that's just kind of I would 697 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: say the term here would be precious beds have all 698 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 2: these agencies. There's something called the Fine Arts Commission. What 699 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 2: they do is they're actually in charge of the institutions 700 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: of fine arts that the government runs. The members of 701 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 2: the Commission are appointed by the president. What do you 702 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 2: think Trump did with the members of the commission? Fire them? 703 00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: Why do you fire them? Why? Because they're all Biden's people. 704 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 2: And that's the story is Trump fires some of these 705 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 2: people still had time left in their terms. So the 706 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 2: wisup was say, is this big story, Trump's firing all 707 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 2: the members of the Fine Arts Commission that Biden appointed. 708 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 2: Here's what the story doesn't mention. What do you think 709 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 2: happened with that commission in twenty twenty one? Biden fired 710 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 2: all the appointees some Trump's first term. So Trump appointed 711 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 2: all these members of the Fine Arts Commission, and back 712 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen when he came in in term one, 713 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 2: Biden got rid of all of him put in his people. 714 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 2: Trump comes in, he gets rid of them, He's gonna 715 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 2: put in his people. But the story that's reported is 716 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 2: Trump firing all the members of the commission not even mentioned. 717 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: In fact, it ask is mentioned way at the end 718 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 2: of the story. And well Biden did the same thing, 719 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 2: but it was never a thing. It was never a 720 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 2: reported as major news. It was simply accepted that when 721 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 2: a new administration comes into place, they're going to put 722 00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 2: their own people into these agencies. The one difference between 723 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 2: then and now is conservatives Charlie Kirk's organization many others 724 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 2: are responsible for this. Trump empowering conservatives to speak out. 725 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 2: The explosion of conservative media through podcasts, zillions of them, 726 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: like my own other conservative media outlets, is that this 727 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 2: information is now getting out. Unfortunately, it doesn't get out 728 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 2: to the people who don't pay attention to conservative news outlets, 729 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,959 Speaker 2: just people that are kind of apathetic run into the news, 730 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 2: or anybody on the left who doesn't listen to any 731 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 2: of it. But at least those of us on the 732 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 2: right are aware but understand this. Let's imagine Kamala had won, 733 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 2: we never would have found any of this out. We 734 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 2: didn't find it out until now when it was going on. 735 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 2: We didn't know the whistleblowers that are blowing the whistle now. 736 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 2: These are people within the FBI, the Department of Justice 737 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 2: that were appalled by it. They were terrified to blow 738 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 2: the whistle. Back then, because they knew what would happen 739 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 2: to them. Now that there is a receptive audience, and 740 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: that the Republicans control the Senate, in the House and 741 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 2: in the White House, with a Department of Justice that 742 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 2: wants to clean up all this rot, the whistleblowers are 743 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 2: pointing us in the direction of all of the stuff 744 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 2: that happened. But it's just like going back to the 745 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,359 Speaker 2: water get story. In Woodward and Bernstein had deep throat. 746 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,479 Speaker 2: In the other sources of Woodward and Bernstein not talked, 747 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 2: we wouldn't have known that either. And the only reason 748 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 2: we're learning any of this now is that Trump won 749 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 2: and some of the people who clearly were not going 750 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 2: going to blow the whistle are in fact blowing the whistle. 751 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 2: The difference in the two eras fifty years apart is 752 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 2: that the Democrats who were so appalled when Nixon and 753 00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 2: the Republicans did it not only are not appalled that 754 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 2: it's being done by their side now, they in fact 755 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 2: were gleeful to do it. This is the Mark Belling Podcast. 756 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling Podcast, and it's time for 757 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,959 Speaker 2: our weekly football preview and some point spread picks, and 758 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 2: as we are every week, we're joined by Mike murletta 759 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 2: of American sports analysts, and Madison. Their website is ASA 760 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 2: wins dot com. Before we get rolling here, Mike, anything 761 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 2: you want to share about what's going on with your 762 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,240 Speaker 2: service this weekend. 763 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, they can check on Friday. ASA wins dot Com. 764 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 4: Didn't have a great week weekend last weekend. We won 765 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 4: our top college game, lost our top program, but overall 766 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 4: probably our worst weekend of the year. So we look 767 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 4: to bounce back this week and we'll probably have a 768 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 4: special weekend package they can check, and I expect us 769 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 4: to have a good weekend. There's some really good matchups 770 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 4: this weekend. 771 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't right about anything last weekend. My pick 772 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 2: that I used on the radio didn't work. My second 773 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 2: favorite pick lost, my third favorite pick lost, my fourth 774 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 2: favorite pick, My top five favorite games all lost, and 775 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 2: all of them kind of got clobbered. I mean, so 776 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 2: we're just putting all that in the rearview mirror. We're 777 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,359 Speaker 2: going to start with before we get into individual games. 778 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 2: I want to talk about a couple of issues in 779 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 2: college football rather than game previews. There really isn't a 780 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 2: Marquee Huge Dynamite game this weekend, so I want to 781 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 2: talk about a couple of issues, and the first time 782 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 2: I want to raise with Mike is this now trend 783 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 2: and I think that's the right word, trend of firing 784 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 2: coaches not toward the end of the season, and certainly 785 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 2: not after the season, but in the middle of the season, 786 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:40,280 Speaker 2: and in some cases extremely successful coaches, in some cases 787 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 2: coaches that had massive contracts with years to go in 788 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 2: huge buyouts. The latest, of course being Brian Kelly, fired 789 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 2: at LSU. They backed up the truck several years ago 790 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 2: to lure him away from Notre Dame. They decided it 791 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 2: hasn't worked, even though I think his record's thirty four 792 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 2: and fourteen or something there. So they have him this 793 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 2: enormous biout, plus whatever it is they're going to have 794 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 2: to hire pay for a new coach. James Franklin got 795 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 2: fired at Penn State earlier this year. Both Florida schools 796 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 2: are likely to have gotten rid of their coaches soon. 797 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 2: Mike Norvella Florida State might be the next to go. 798 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 2: And the thing that's striking me about this is a 799 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 2: the timing and b the fact that some of these coaches, 800 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 2: because they've been so successful, are owed to a fortune 801 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 2: in biots. Let's start with the first thing. What really 802 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 2: is the point in firing a coach in the middle 803 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: of the season, given that you can't go looking for 804 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 2: a successor until after the season, and you have to 805 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 2: name an interim coach in the meantime, Why do you 806 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 2: think that this is going on and it's becoming so prevalent. 807 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure why why it's already become like 808 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 4: middle of the season type stuff. Used to never see that. 809 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 4: I mean, there's twelve FBS openings right now in the 810 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 4: middle of the season, and some big like you said, LSU, UCLA, Florida, 811 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 4: Penn State, more to come. I don't know if they're 812 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 4: trying to get a jump on, you know, contacting other coaches, 813 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 4: contacting potential replacements rather than waiting, and other teams have 814 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 4: maybe behind the scenes that could be ed, you know, 815 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 4: locked up, some coaching can be That's the only reason. 816 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 4: I think. 817 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 2: One of the ramifications of that, though, is you've got 818 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 2: a school like Mississippi having a pretty good year. Lane 819 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 2: Kiffin's their coach. He's rumored for all of these jobs. 820 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 2: What a distraction for his team for the remaining six 821 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: or seven games that they have left in the season, 822 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 2: or for heaven's sakes, if they managed to make it 823 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 2: to the playoffs, which they might make it. There are 824 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 2: a couple of other coaches of top teams, their names 825 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 2: are swirling around and all of this stuff. They probably 826 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 2: are talking to their agents who are talking with the schools. 827 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 2: The coach himself can't talk, but the agents can have 828 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,720 Speaker 2: backchannel conversations. So it's also affecting all of these coaches 829 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: that might be rumored to be in the mix. And 830 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 2: it's becoming primarily a college thing as opposed to the pros, 831 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 2: where you might think it's a little bit more understandable 832 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 2: to do. So. The other component of this is now 833 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 2: that we're in this era of nil where anybody can 834 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 2: transfer and go to another school and know sitting out 835 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 2: or anything like that. When you fire a coach who 836 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 2: recruited some of these players, you might see thirty or 837 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 2: forty or forty five players leave the team at the 838 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 2: end of the season. And the final point is, I 839 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 2: just look at all of this and I think that 840 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 2: there are more schools that want a great coach than 841 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 2: there are great coaches that are out there. I mean, 842 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: with the Penn State situation, has been talked about a lot. 843 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody wants to now hire James Franklin, the 844 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 2: Penn State coach. He's the number one guy in the 845 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 2: list for all of these jobs. Yet Penn State had 846 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 2: James Franklin and they are rid of him because they 847 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 2: couldn't handle a three game losing streak after a bunch 848 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 2: of great seasons. Something is totally screwed up here. And 849 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,839 Speaker 2: I think that some of these athletic directors are so 850 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 2: behold in too loudmouth alumni that they're making unwise, irrational 851 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 2: emotional decisions that not only don't make strategic sense, they 852 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 2: don't make financial sense. You pay off a buyout of 853 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,280 Speaker 2: thirty five million to a coach, tie up seventy million 854 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 2: in a new coach when you still have to run 855 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 2: an entire athletic department. 856 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I agree that the buyouts are insane. I mean, 857 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 4: right now, so far this year, there's like one hundred 858 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 4: and seventy million in buyouts from coaches that got fired 859 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 4: during the season this year, and like you said, they're 860 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 4: gonna have to hire other coaches and pay them. I 861 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 4: don't disagree with that. I think a lot of it 862 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 4: has to do with big boasters coming in and say 863 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 4: we don't want him anymore, we'll raise money to get 864 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 4: rid of them, that type of thing, and they're kind of, 865 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 4: you know, in a lot of schools running the show 866 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 4: more so than the coaches and the administration are. 867 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 2: That brings us to I think a related topic, and 868 00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 2: that's Wisconsin. Paul and I both thought and made our 869 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 2: picks on this that Oregon would annihilate Wisconsin, and they didn't. 870 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 2: Wisconsin actually played defensively an unbelievably good game. They Badgers 871 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 2: don't have an offense, but their defense was spectacular in 872 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 2: holding an outstanding Oregon team to only twenty one points. 873 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 2: It makes one wonder if Wisconsin did show that it 874 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 2: can salvage the season. They have a buy this week 875 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 2: when they come back after the bye by that strong 876 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 2: defensive performance that they had there. And going back to 877 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 2: this whole business of firing coaches and so on, given 878 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 2: that he is building one of the best defenses in America, 879 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,320 Speaker 2: is the consensus wrong that Luke Fickle needs to be fired? 880 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 2: And maybe are they better off keeping him. He's built 881 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 2: a defense, builds an offense next end. Wouldn't you be 882 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 2: in a better position than if you see everybody transfer, 883 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,839 Speaker 2: everybody leaving start over again with another coach. A lot 884 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 2: there on Wisconsin. But just your thoughts on whether or 885 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 2: not they turned a real corner last week and what 886 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:02,799 Speaker 2: the situation with Fickle is. 887 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, the interesting thing with Fickle is I don't think 888 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 4: he I think he's going to make it through the season. 889 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 4: I won't be surprised if he's around next year. Look 890 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 4: at how many big job openings there. I mean, Wisconsin's 891 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 4: way down the pecking cort right for some of those jobs, 892 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 4: especially if Florida State opens, Auburn might open. I was 893 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 4: really the one thing I've noticed is, and this is 894 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 4: a positive for Fickle, the team hasn't quit at all. 895 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 2: I mean no, and I thought they would. I mean, 896 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 2: they went to this gauntlet of a schedule, and weirdly 897 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 2: they seem to be getting I mean the Iowa loss 898 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 2: Iowa was the weakest of the three teams that they 899 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,760 Speaker 2: played in this stretch, and they seem to play better 900 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 2: the following two weeks against better opposition in Ohio State 901 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 2: and Oregon. 902 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I agree, I mean I was really shocked. 903 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,319 Speaker 4: I liked your point last week, and I agreed that 904 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 4: you know, at some point the Wisconsin defense is just 905 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 4: going to collapse because they're on the field too much, 906 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 4: and they had played so many big games in a 907 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 4: row and they play their best game yet they had 908 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 4: held Oregon to twenty points below their average, and Oregon 909 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 4: is averaging over five hundred yards per game. They held 910 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,879 Speaker 4: in the three hundred and thirty five yards. If they 911 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 4: get a little help from the offense, even if you 912 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 4: had just a slightly below average offense, I think they'd 913 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 4: actually be okay. So, you know, looking ahead, if they 914 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 4: can replace some get a quarterback on offense, which is key. 915 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 4: They're down to the third string quarterback, you got to 916 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 4: have a good Well. 917 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 2: There's some talk now that they have a highly toted 918 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 2: freshman who has not played. The rule in college football 919 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 2: is if you play only four games, you can maintain 920 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,400 Speaker 2: red shirt status and not you lose a year of eligibility. 921 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 2: That after the bye they may bring him in now 922 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 2: that they wouldn't lose a year of eligibility. I don't 923 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 2: think that's the explanation, because if a quarterback is really 924 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 2: really good, you don't worry that much about eligibility. Because 925 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 2: they're thinking of going to the pros after a while, 926 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 2: but there's all of that talk that's out there. In 927 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,800 Speaker 2: the meantime, I'm hearing people talk about Wisconsin should hire James. Frankly, 928 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 2: they should hire this guy. They should hire that guy. 929 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 2: These schools that are eating sixty million dollar buyouts are 930 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 2: going to lay out one hundred and twenty million dollars 931 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 2: in a nine year contract for some of these coaches, 932 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,799 Speaker 2: and I don't think Wisconsin's in a position, you know, 933 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 2: to be able to do that. All right, let's turn 934 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 2: our attention to the NFL, and I do want to 935 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 2: preview two games. This seems like a lopside of game, 936 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 2: but it's an interesting one to talk about, and that's 937 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 2: the Packers and the Panthers. First of all, Carolina seems 938 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 2: to be no almost perpetually awful. The Packers are a 939 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 2: fascinating situation. They played in the second half last week 940 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh as well as an NFL team can play, 941 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 2: but let's also acknowledge that they were down sixteen to 942 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 2: seven at halftime to an only Okay team. It's very 943 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 2: hard to get a read on the Packers. They have 944 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 2: a great record of five to one and one, and 945 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 2: at times they've looked outstanding. They're back home and it's 946 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 2: been a while since they've been home. But they're back home, 947 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 2: and it's probably a letdown situation with a poor opponent, 948 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 2: but visually they finally looked really, really good. Thoughts on 949 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 2: Packers and thoughts on this game. The Packers favored by 950 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 2: about two touchdowns against Carolina. 951 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're you know, they're favored by thirteen and a 952 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 4: half right now. Interestingly enough, twelve to thirteen games last 953 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 4: week in the NFL decided by ten points. More so, 954 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 4: a lot of blowouts last and you. 955 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 2: Mentioned the twelve that the favorites went eleven and two. 956 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 2: My favorite NFL game, and I almost choose that out 957 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 2: of the year was Atlanta favored by eight over Miami 958 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: and Miami won by twenty four. It was the one 959 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 2: game where an underdog destroyed a favorite at a weekend where 960 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 2: none of that happened. That's all wrong. I was on everything, 961 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 2: but you were right. I mean all the game. Almost 962 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 2: all the games are blowouts this past week, and favorites 963 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 2: won virtually every one of the game, and the overs 964 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 2: went way, way, way over. 965 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is bad for the sports folks when that happens. 966 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, Green Bay second half. Last week had almost 967 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 4: three hundred total yards in the second half and Pittsburgh 968 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 4: had barely a hundred, so they played really well. Their 969 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 4: offense didn't look great in the first half and they 970 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 4: look completely different in the second half. Carolina is not terrible. 971 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 4: They're four and four, but they you know they They 972 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 4: didn't have their quarterback last week. Bryce Young was out 973 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 4: and they lost three starting offensive linemen who aren't going 974 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 4: to play this week, which is huge for green Bay. 975 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: It's not green The Packers pass rush is really coming on. 976 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 4: They are, they really are, and with three backup offensive 977 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 4: line and that's not great for Carolina A. Green Bay's 978 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 4: coming off a big game. They got the Eagles next, 979 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,919 Speaker 4: so that's not ideal. But double digit favorites this year 980 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 4: have been decent. Six and four against the spread, and 981 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 4: if you go back to the start of last year, 982 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 4: they're twenty and thirteen against the spread the last two 983 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 4: years double digit favorites. Historically they're not good, but they 984 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 4: have been decent. I wouldn't lay two touchdowns in this game, 985 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,640 Speaker 4: but I can't see the pay I don't see this 986 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 4: being a close game, but I could see green Bay 987 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 4: getting ahead and just kind of grinding out and winning 988 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 4: somewhere by you know, ten to four teen to seventeen 989 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 4: type points. In this game against the banged up Carolina team. 990 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 2: Paul says the Packers played down to opponents level. I 991 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 2: don't think I agree with that. I can't get a 992 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 2: feel for them at all, because the Packers alternate between 993 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 2: brilliance and pretty good. They haven't played a stinker of 994 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 2: a game. They were defensively terrible against Dallas, but they 995 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,919 Speaker 2: put up a lot of points in that game. There's 996 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 2: a just a tough team to get a feel out. 997 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 2: In the meantime, everybody, this is been the marquee game 998 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 2: in the NFL for the last ten years. The Chiefs 999 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 2: played the Bills again, they always seemed at first of all, 1000 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 2: they always seem to meet in the postseason, and they 1001 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 2: seem to meet in the regular season a lot, even 1002 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 2: though they're not in the same division this year. Kansas City, 1003 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 2: which went to the Super Bowl last year, and I 1004 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 2: thought they had a down year and they just got 1005 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 2: to snuck into it. This looks like as good a 1006 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Chiefs team as we've seen. They're really, really good, particularly 1007 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 2: once we got past the beginning of the season and 1008 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 2: Buffalo's coming off a win of forty to nine in 1009 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 2: which they massacred a team last week. Your thoughts on 1010 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 2: the Chiefs of the Bills. 1011 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting. Like you said, I think it's the 1012 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 4: NFL's top rivalry right now. And they're not even the 1013 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 4: Sight Division. I mean, usually you see teams in division 1014 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,920 Speaker 4: being big rivals. But they have played since the twenty 1015 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 4: counting the twenty twenty one playoffs, they played eight times 1016 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 4: since then. And the interesting point between these two is 1017 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 4: they played four times in the playoffs during that stretch. 1018 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 4: Kansas City's four to oh they played four times during 1019 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 4: the regular season during that stretch and Buffalo's four and oh. 1020 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 4: So Kansas City's winning the games that mean something in 1021 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 4: the playoffs and Buffalo's winning the regular season games over 1022 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 4: the last four or five years. In this game, I 1023 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 4: think you're right. I think right now, Kansas City, even 1024 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 4: though they're five and three, I think they're the best 1025 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 4: team in the NFL right now. They're five to one 1026 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 4: both straight up and against the spread. Their last six games, 1027 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 4: and the one they lost they completely dominated Jacksonville and 1028 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 4: lost on some crazy plays. They've outgained their opponents by 1029 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty yards average over their last six 1030 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 4: Remember during that stretch, they beat Detroit by thirteen points, 1031 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 4: and they beat Baltimore when Baltimore was at full strength 1032 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 4: by seventeen points. So they're rolling along right now. I 1033 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 4: think Buffalo's in the better situation. Kamas City's playing their 1034 01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 4: ninth straight week in Buffalo. 1035 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 2: They do have the buy next, and I think Andy 1036 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 2: Reid's record off the bye is great. I have no 1037 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,080 Speaker 2: idea what it is going into the buy. I don't 1038 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 2: even know if there's a way of track, if anybody 1039 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 2: tracks that. Kansas City, though in the last two weeks, 1040 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,919 Speaker 2: has outscored the opposition eighty nine to twenty four. Yeah, 1041 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 2: some of those teams run very good, and Washington has 1042 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 2: been banged up in his very disappointing team this year. 1043 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 2: But still, all right, let's get to some point spread 1044 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 2: picks for this weekend, and we will very quickly recap 1045 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,479 Speaker 2: an ugly week. Last week, both Paul and I took 1046 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 2: Oregon to beat Wisconsin by thirty two or more. Wisconsin 1047 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 2: lost by only fourteen. Mike said Mississippi and Oklahoma will 1048 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 2: go under fifty four and a half. He at least 1049 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 2: came a little close that came end to thirty four 1050 01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 2: to twenty six. So all three of us lost. That's 1051 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,880 Speaker 2: no good at all. All right, let's get started with 1052 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 2: this weekend's games. Paul, you go first, Paul says, for 1053 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,960 Speaker 2: the first time, he feels confident. This is despite the 1054 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 2: fact that Paul's record is one in eighty six or 1055 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 2: something in that rage. But yeah, Detroit is at it's 1056 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,360 Speaker 2: Minnesota is at Detroit, and the line is eight and 1057 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 2: a half on that, Paul says. He Paul says, he 1058 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 2: has incredible confidence. I know where he's going to go 1059 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: with this, and there's a problem with the pick. But anyway, 1060 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 2: you're taking Detroit. JJ McCarthy is now the quarterback again. 1061 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 2: He's only been given five shots for this job. Carson 1062 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Wentz is out for the season, so they have to 1063 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 2: go with JJ McCarthy. Detroit's in a four game winning streak, 1064 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 2: winning each game by fifteen. They're averaging thirty six points 1065 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 2: a game. Paul's got all this. What else? They're at 1066 01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: home and they're clicking on all cylinders. Minnesot's terrible. They 1067 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 2: lost by twenty seven points to the Chargers. Now there's 1068 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 2: a problem with this pick until you just said this. 1069 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 2: This was my pick, and last week when we were 1070 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 2: on the same pick, it was an absolute trade wreck. 1071 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 2: I have had two games and I'm just going back 1072 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 2: and forth and wrestling on and I'm now going to 1073 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 2: take the other game in part Becauyse just you know, 1074 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,720 Speaker 2: create a little variety here. But I agree with Paul 1075 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 2: on everything that he said. But the last time we agreed, 1076 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 2: which was last week, we were dead wrong. I think 1077 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 2: Minnesota is reeling. I don't think I think McCarthy was 1078 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 2: a wasted first on pick too early, perhaps to write 1079 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 2: him off. The ground game doesn't exist for the Vikings anymore. 1080 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 2: Injuries to running back and given who they have at 1081 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 2: running back not surprising. And Detroit, you know, detroit'sa Kansas city. 1082 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,920 Speaker 2: Once you got past the right beginning of the season, 1083 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,000 Speaker 2: they've been really, really, really good, and you know, we 1084 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 2: saw all those blowouts last week, so I wouldn't. I'm 1085 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 2: just no longer afraid of laying a lot of points 1086 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 2: in the NFL. I think Paul's right about that, but 1087 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,439 Speaker 2: I'm not going to use it as my own pick 1088 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 2: because it was an ugly situation and when we both 1089 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 2: put big favorites last night. But I think he's right, 1090 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 2: don't you, Mike. 1091 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean the only thing that gets me is 1092 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 4: the line looks low to me. I mean, it just 1093 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 4: seems like it should be higher than eight. 1094 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 2: I made the line at fifteen myself, and I like 1095 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 2: to try to make the line before I see what 1096 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 2: it is, and fifteen would have been I would guess 1097 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,920 Speaker 2: Detroit would win by fifteen points. That's how I come 1098 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 2: up with that. You're right, it does. See. It does 1099 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 2: seem low, But maybe that's because the line makers simply 1100 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,479 Speaker 2: haven't caught up to how poor Minnesota is. They weren't 1101 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 2: expected to be this bad, and they're three and four. 1102 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 2: It's not like they're zero and seven, but they're an 1103 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 2: ugly looking three and four. Yeah. 1104 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 4: In the quarterback situation, obviously, Wentz played with one arm 1105 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 4: last week, and they played him when he probably shouldn't 1106 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 4: have played. And McCarthy, like I said, he's had one 1107 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 4: good quarter, one good half, let's say the entire season. 1108 01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 4: The second half against Chicago is actually the fourth quarter. Mainly, 1109 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 4: other than that, he's been bad troited off a bye. 1110 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 4: Campbell with the best spread record. I don't disagree with 1111 01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 4: that pick at all. 1112 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Paul's right, Let's go to Let's go 1113 01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:08,920 Speaker 2: to Mike in where are we going to go for 1114 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 2: our pick? 1115 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 4: Let's check the Monday night Arizona Dallas. I need the 1116 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 4: total on that game. 1117 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 2: That total must be eight hundred fifty four and a half. 1118 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 2: Arizona has a bit of a defense. Dallas's defense occasionally looks. Okay. 1119 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,440 Speaker 2: The Dallas offense wasn't that great last week, but fifty 1120 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 2: four and a half. My guess is most people are 1121 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 2: betting the game, are betting over. Are you going to 1122 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 2: be a contraryan and say under it? Do you want 1123 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 2: to hear about another line? 1124 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 4: No, I'm going to go over in that game? 1125 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 2: Over you. 1126 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 4: You can't go under in Dallas games right now. I 1127 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 4: don't think the odds makers can set it high enough. 1128 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 4: I mean, they're not going to make it fifty seven 1129 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 4: to fifty eight, which is probably where it should be. 1130 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 4: Dallas games are averaging. 1131 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 2: I mean, they played Denver last week and Denver has 1132 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 2: a go defense, and the total points was sixty eight points. 1133 01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 2: In that game, they gave up forty four to Denver, 1134 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 2: but they also scored twenty four on Denver's very good defense. 1135 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 2: The week before that was watched his forty four to 1136 01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 2: twenty two. That was sixty six points the week before that. 1137 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,959 Speaker 2: Carolina at twenty seven to thirty, that was fifty seven 1138 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 2: points the week before that. The Jets, who's they're always 1139 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 2: in low scoring games, thirty seven to twenty two. So 1140 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 2: you're right, Dallas keeps going over, and they're going over 1141 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 2: against other teams that aren't like them. Great offense, bad defense. 1142 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're they're averaging forty one points per game. 1143 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 4: It's home. They've scored forty or more in every home 1144 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,880 Speaker 4: game this year. They've got the best offense in the 1145 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 4: league we talked about this last week, and the worst defense. 1146 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 4: And on top of having the worst defense, they got 1147 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 4: multiple injuries on defense. Right now. Their offense is scoring 1148 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 4: points on almost sixty percent of their drives at home 1149 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 4: this year, which is by far the best in the NFL, 1150 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 4: but their defense is allowing points on almost thirty five 1151 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 4: percent of opponent possessions, which is worse than the NFL. 1152 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 4: Arizona's actually been pretty good offense. I'm hoping Brissetts the 1153 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 4: quarterback here. They've played pretty well the last couple games. 1154 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 4: Murray may be back, but I think it goes over 1155 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:04,439 Speaker 4: either way. 1156 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, lying on that game is only two and 1157 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 2: a half. I would have thought Dallas may be favored 1158 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 2: by more. But you know, the Cowboys are a hard 1159 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 2: team to get a feel for because as great as 1160 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 2: the offense is, that's how bad their defense is. I'm 1161 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 2: going to go to a game in college football, and 1162 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 2: as I said, I was probably going to take the 1163 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 2: pick that Paul took. But there's a game in college 1164 01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,759 Speaker 2: football that I like a lot. One of the teams 1165 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 2: that's really emerged this year is Texas Tech, and it's 1166 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,719 Speaker 2: a controversial team because the team is bankrolled with massive 1167 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 2: nil money. They're seven and one and they're playing at 1168 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 2: Kansas State and they're favored by seven and a half, 1169 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 2: and I'm taking Kansas State. Texas Tech has played only 1170 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 2: two road games all year. One of them was their 1171 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 2: one loss when they lost to Arizona State. Kansas State 1172 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:54,400 Speaker 2: was thought to be a very good team this year, 1173 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 2: and they started really slowly, but they've gotten hot. They 1174 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,639 Speaker 2: outgained Baylor in a game in which they lost the game, 1175 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 2: and they played their arch rival Kansas last week. Kansas 1176 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 2: isn't terrible and they beat them by twenty five points. 1177 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:13,640 Speaker 2: The quarterback situation. Texas Tech's quarterback is banged up and 1178 01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 2: may or may not play. The backup got knocked out 1179 01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 2: altogether last week. They did go to the third stringer, 1180 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 2: who is admittedly a former starter in college football, and 1181 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 2: he played much of the game last week, but their 1182 01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,720 Speaker 2: quarterback situation is shaky in the meantime. I really like 1183 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 2: Kansas State's quarterback. They have a quarterback named Avery Johnson, 1184 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 2: no relation to the old basketball coach. He's got fifteen 1185 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,640 Speaker 2: touchdown passes and only two interceptions, and I think that 1186 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 2: they're an improving team. And I swear you go back 1187 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 2: forty years with Kansas State, and I know this is 1188 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,519 Speaker 2: through multiple coaches, but I just remember that Bill Snyder 1189 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 2: when he was there at Kansas State as a home 1190 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 2: underdog was deadly. They covered all the time, and it 1191 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 2: seems to be continuing with the coach that they have 1192 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 2: over there right now. I think Kansas State can win 1193 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,760 Speaker 2: the game and knock off Texas Tech and seven and 1194 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 2: a half half that's a pretty good number there. So 1195 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 2: I'm on Kansas State to cover the point spread getting 1196 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 2: seven and a half against Texas Tech. What do you think? 1197 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know Kansas State's playing really well right now. 1198 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,639 Speaker 4: They struggled early in the season and now they're rolling. 1199 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 4: They only lost in their last four games was at 1200 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 4: Baylor by one, and they led that game by fourteen 1201 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 4: in the game and they all gained him, right, Yeah, 1202 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 4: they out gained them in that game. I agree with 1203 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 4: you on texts quarterback situation. It looks like mort and 1204 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 4: their starter is going to be back, but he's injury 1205 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 4: prone on and off. Their second stringers out out, and 1206 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 4: their third stringers. Okay, I don't disagree. I'm a little worried. 1207 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 4: Texas Tech has been really, really good, but they seem 1208 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 4: to be coming back to earth a little bit. Like 1209 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,080 Speaker 4: you said, they lost at Arizona State a few weeks 1210 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,720 Speaker 4: ago with their backup, and they played Oklahoma State last week. 1211 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 4: It's horrendous. I don't disagree. If you're getting over seven, 1212 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 4: i'd probably in Kansas State. 1213 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Kansas State opened the season they lost 1214 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 2: to Iowa State and they managed to barely beat North 1215 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,639 Speaker 2: Dakota and lost the Army. 1216 01:10:58,840 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 4: No. 1217 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,840 Speaker 2: Wait, there are a couple of teams that are unbeaten 1218 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,879 Speaker 2: this year that I think there isn't anybody in America 1219 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 2: knows that they're on there's hardly any unbeaten teams left, 1220 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 2: but somehow Navy is unbeaten. I mean, Mike knows that 1221 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 2: because he knows everything, but I unless you actually looked 1222 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 2: at everybody's record, I just think that nobody would be 1223 01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 2: aware that Navy is unbeaten. A lot of this is 1224 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 2: you know who you play and who you don't play 1225 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 2: and Army. In the meantime, they're three and four. They 1226 01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 2: look great one week and terrible the other. Kansas State, though, 1227 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,720 Speaker 2: is understandable. I just think they started slow, and they're 1228 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 2: a hot team, and the line hasn't caught up here, 1229 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 2: and I can see them pulling off the upset in 1230 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,360 Speaker 2: the same way that Arizona State upset Texas Tech when 1231 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 2: they went down. There one other game that I do 1232 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 2: want to throw out, and I was thinking about until 1233 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 2: the line. It was three and a half points at 1234 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 2: the beginning of the week, and I love the game. 1235 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 2: But now it's moved on to two and a half, 1236 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 2: and that's more than a one point jump. It moved 1237 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,720 Speaker 2: to the other side of the three, and that's Jacksonville 1238 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,560 Speaker 2: is at the Raiders, and the Raiders are two and 1239 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 2: a half point underdogs. Now I think Raiders are going 1240 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,040 Speaker 2: to win the game straight up. But when it was 1241 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 2: three and a half, I liked it a lot more. 1242 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,439 Speaker 2: I don't think Jacksonville's as good as their record would indicate. 1243 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:11,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's recap everybody's picks here, Paul's I just 1244 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 2: I don't disagree with Paul's pick at all if I 1245 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 2: was ready to take it. Paul says the Lions to 1246 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,160 Speaker 2: win by nine or more. Of the vikings. The only 1247 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 2: downside is it is a big number, and so on. 1248 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 2: Mike says, Dallas and Arizona go over fifty four and 1249 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 2: a half. Dallas goes over every week, so hopefully it'll again. 1250 01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 2: And I'm taking an underdog Kansas State to either win 1251 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 2: or lose by seven or less at home to Texas Tech. 1252 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 2: If you want to check out what Mike and his 1253 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 2: company have to offer, ASA wins dot Com.
