The Markbelling Podcast is a 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: Let's pretend we're in the seventh grade at least, I 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: think the seventh grade is where you would learn this. 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: Maybe it's the third grader. Maybe the schools are so 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: bad they don't teach it at all. Inverse relationship, admit it, 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: you can't define what that is? No, so like that 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: whole what was that TV show? Are you dumber than 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: a seventh grader? Or is it a fifth grader? Fifth grader? 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: Except I just I don't buy that. I want to 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: put actual fifth graders on there and see if they 14 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: know any of those answers and inverse relationship. I will 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: explain it the following way. An inverse relationship is the 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: opposite of a relationship. An example of a relationship is 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: there's generally a relationship between how much you eat and 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: how fat you are. I mean, it doesn't always hold, 19 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: but generally it holds. If you eat lots and lots 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: and lots, you're likely to be fatter than somebody who 21 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: hardly eats it all again. It doesn't hold up all 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: the time, but it's certainly fair to say that there's 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: a relationship there. Right now, I'm going to give you 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: an example of an inverse relationship. This is something that 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: I've observed over years of observing. That's what I basically 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: do in my career. I observe and then I commented 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: what I've observed. That's pretty much my entire career. No, 28 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: that's what it is. Here's an observation. There is an 29 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: inverse relationship, In other words, the opposite of an actual religion. 30 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: There is an inverse relationship between the amount of awards 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: that are handed out in a field and the competence 32 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: generally of that field. Now, I know that some of 33 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: you didn't follow that, like did you follow that? You did? Oh? 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: Why he claims he did? I want to hear, Okay, 35 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: explain it. I want to see if you did. Yes, 36 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: Paul actually understands it. So that means I don't think 37 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: I need to explain the inverse relationship because if Paul 38 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: understands it, who in the hell how would not understand it? 39 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: I actually will under explain it because I love explaining 40 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: this the more incompetent the people are in a field, 41 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: the more awards they give out. Whereas the more competent 42 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: individuals are in a field, that field tends they have 43 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: either fewer or almost no awards at all. Give you 44 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: examples of certain fields in which they're constantly handing out awards. 45 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: Basically any left wing social service type thing. They've got 46 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: Citizens of the Year, this of the Year, Volunteer, all 47 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: of this, on and on and on. It goes education, 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: public education, they're handing out awards all the time. The 49 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: entertainment field, constant awards, awards, awards, awards, awards, They're always 50 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: handing out awards to one another. I could give you 51 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: numerous other examples, but I think you get the drift. 52 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: On the other hand, think of certain fields in which, boy, 53 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: it seems like everybody involved is pretty competent. When's the 54 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: last time you heard of any trouble involving a cement 55 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: truck driver. I mean, maybe there is, I just don't 56 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: recall hearing of Eddie. I think they get the cement 57 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: in there and they spin the thing around, and then 58 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: they show up at the proper place and they don't. 59 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: You really, when's the last time a cement truck driver 60 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: got an award. Now I could raise it to a 61 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: higher level, but you get the point. Where am I 62 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: going with this at the beginning of the podcast. Well, 63 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: I'll tell you after we share our U line information. 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: But I do want you to hold that thought because 65 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: it's one of the keys to understanding what I the story. 66 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to see it's the biggest Maybe it 67 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: is the biggest story right now because understanding the why 68 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: of it is critical.

Visit you line dot com. 77 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: All right, now, here's the story that triggered a little discussion. 78 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: The stated excuse that Jill underly Hit of the Wisconsin 79 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: Department of Public Instruction gave for skipping out of the 80 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: legislative hearing last week, which was to investigate allegations that 81 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: her agency, DPI, has been covering up predatory behavior by teachers. 82 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: In particular, that DPI has been covering up allegations of 83 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: quote grooming by teachers. Grooming is the term that is 84 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: used for when an adult is kind of softening up 85 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: a child for sexual activity, kind of breaking down the walls, 86 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: et cetera. It's the process that goes on before the 87 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: context starts this whole thing. And I'll give you a 88 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: little bit of background here. It came out as a 89 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 2: result of can't blame the conservatives for this. The Capital Times, 90 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: which used to be a newspaper in Madison. It is 91 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: now kind of a website, but also they put some 92 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: pages in the Madison newspaper and with a very very 93 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: very liberal website when they were an actual newspaper, I'd 94 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 2: say the most liberal newspaper of the state. The Capital 95 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: Times has done a major investigation on this. So this 96 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: is coming from a lefty news source. So the liberals 97 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: that are going to try to look the other way 98 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: at this story can't claim that this is from some 99 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: lacking credibility right wing source. Anyway, The allegation is the 100 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: DPI has been covering up and not investigating these allegations. 101 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: DPI is the agency that licenses teachers in the state 102 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: of Wisconsin. They were to hold this legislator but they 103 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: did hold the legislative hearing last week. Underley is a 104 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: no show. The reason she gives for her no show 105 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: is she's receiving an award in Indiana. I mean this 106 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: is just perfect. First of all, she's her job is 107 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: in Wisconsin, she's the head of DPI in Wisconsin. She's 108 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: getting some award in Indiana. She said, well, she had 109 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: a prior commitment. I love that when people say they 110 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: have a prior commitment. People prior commitments all the time, 111 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: and if you have something more important to do, you 112 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: go and do them more importantly. The fact that you 113 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: have the commitment first only holds up as if they 114 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: are like equal types of obligations. Like if Paul says 115 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: that I won't even come up with an example of this, 116 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: because I'm not you would be an opposite example of that. 117 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: Your your priority would be anything involving me would be first, 118 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: and anything else would be second. But you kind of 119 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: get the trip anyway. Most people would assume that this 120 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: is simply Underley, who's a hack. By the way, that 121 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: is the primary qualification to be head of DPI. I 122 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 2: am telling you this is held up for fifty years. 123 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: Hacks have run that. I don't remember Barbara Thompson as 124 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: the latter first person. Yeah, Barbara Thompson, she ran DPI 125 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: in the seventies. I honestly don't know if she was 126 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: a hack. I was like in high school or something then, 127 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: But after that it's made NonStop hackery. And they last 128 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: for Burt Grover, remember Bert, In fact, that's when I 129 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: had veted that was his nickname. My show way by 130 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: Berth the hack Grover. Then Tony Evert's got in there. 131 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: He personifies the term hack. Well, anyway, Jill unders Underley 132 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: is in there now. She's a hack to. She obviously 133 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: did not want to have to answer questions as to why. 134 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: Presuming that the allegations in the Capital Times investigation are accurate, 135 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: DPI has been covering up numerous allegations of teachers that 136 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: have been engaging in predatory behavior. In other words, the 137 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: type of stuff that occur is that leads up to 138 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: the molestation. So she goes and accepts the award and 139 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: claims that she had but I'm guessing that she is 140 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: getting an award, because in that field they hand out 141 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: awards all the time. It's what they do. There are 142 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: certain fields in which they not only have a martyr complex, 143 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: they have a saint complex. I guess those two things 144 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: are related. But they're giving won another awards all the 145 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: time because they just think that there's so much superior 146 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: to the rest of us. And it's among the reasons 147 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: in which they're constantly whining about how terribly I mean 148 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: teaches them whining in Wisconsin forever and ever and ever. 149 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: On the story itself, let's explore this scandal. The allegation 150 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: in the Capital Times report is that when DPI and 151 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: again DPI stands for the Division of Public Instruction, I 152 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: should explain for those of you don't follow state government closely, 153 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: it's an independent agency. It's not under the governor. The 154 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: head of DPI is elected by the voters. It's a 155 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: standalone agency like the Department of Justices. So the person 156 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: who's in charge of DPI is the person elected by 157 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: the voters. And that currently is underlay that there have 158 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: been numerous instances were reported by school districts and others 159 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,119 Speaker 2: to DPI of improper behavior by licensed educators in Wisconsin, 160 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: and they basically just sat on it. That's the allegation. 161 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Now I know why they sat on it. There's two 162 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: reasons for this. First, DPI has been forever and ineffectual, lazy, 163 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: do nothing agency, they said on this because they sit 164 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: on everything. It's all they do. Secondly, and this is 165 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: where the story becomes I think important, and you know, 166 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: in our understanding, forever, the head of DPI has been 167 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: somebody that was backed by the teachers unions forever. Here's why. 168 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: The one group that has a vested interest in controlling 169 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: this otherwise not very important agency is the teachers union. 170 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: Schools are overseen by DPI, so the public schools and 171 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: in particular the unions that are in the public schools. 172 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: When I have somebody that's going to carry water for 173 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: them running that agency, so they spend a lot of 174 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: money making sure that what their candidates win. There's no 175 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 2: other special interest group that cares about DPI, and none 176 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: on the conservative side. So what has happened is you 177 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: generally will have an election in which one of these 178 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: lefty hacks runs and a more education reform oriented challenger 179 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: who I won't even say to the right, but just 180 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: to the right of the person who's back by the 181 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: lefties will run and the lefty always wins. The most 182 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: recent example was this pass spring when we had an 183 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: election in which Underley was re elected. She had an 184 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: extremely confident challenger in Britney Kincer. And further, even the 185 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: lefties realize Underley is terrible Evers's administration in his peace 186 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: people did not back her in the primary. There are 187 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 2: three candidates running in the primary, two liberals, Underly one 188 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 2: of them, then another liberal challenger and Kinser. Even the 189 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: leftist and Madison backed the challenger, but Underly, with name 190 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: recognition and so on, she got to the primary, as 191 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: did Britney Kinser. So you have highly qualified Britney Kinser 192 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: and then Jill Underley, who is just an empty pantsuit. 193 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: It was a close election, but Underley had way more 194 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: money and she beat Britney Kinser, which is exactly what 195 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: the teachers want, and especially a teacher who needs to 196 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: be regulated. Once Let's imagine you're an a and competent 197 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: teacher or be perverted teacher. You can be either one. 198 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: What would you like to be in charge of regulating 199 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: teachers in the state? A watchdog out to get all 200 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 2: the bad teachers out, or a hack that's going to 201 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: carry water for all of you, So it was inevitable. 202 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: Then an agency that's run by first Underlay and prior 203 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: to that evers and go back throughout the history these 204 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 2: hacks that were in the pocket of the teachers, and 205 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: you will be looking the other way at everything. The 206 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: big issue that has tormented Underlay over the past year 207 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: didn't torment her enough that she didn't get reelected. The 208 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: test scores in Wisconsin have been as most people are aware, crashing, 209 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: and they really accelerated the crash since COVID. So what 210 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: Underly did is change the standards on the state's school's 211 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: report card. What does that mean? This is not the 212 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: way it works, but it's a corollary that's easy to explain. 213 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: Let's imagine you're taking a test and a passing grade 214 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: is seventy. One hundred is perfect, zero's the worst, Seventy 215 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: means passing barely but passing. And let's imagine that's how 216 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: it was for proficiency in the schools of seventy. She 217 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: simply made it a fifty. In other words, nobody's proficiency improved, 218 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: but they just took a lower level of achievement and 219 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: declared a proficient to make it look like more of 220 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: the schools are succeeding than they actually were. But again, 221 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: that's what Underley would do, because she's a hacker, carries 222 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: water for the public schools. With regard to this story 223 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: in the grooming, whose fault is it? It's the voter's fault. 224 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: Two sets of voters. One the people who vote for 225 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: hacks like Underley, but secondly the people who are conservative 226 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,239 Speaker 2: in the state who don't vote in these spring elections. 227 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: And I've been on this issue for several years and 228 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: I don't have an answer to it. In the fall elections, 229 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: that's the one where we elect the president, say in 230 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four to twenty eight, thirty two thirty six, 231 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: and the other even number elections twenty two, twenty six, 232 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: thirty thirty four to thirty eight, et cetera, we elect 233 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: the governor of Wisconsin. Senators are on six year terms, 234 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: so they're staggered in there. Two of every three of 235 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: them would in the fall. Conservatives tend to turn out 236 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: and vote, and these are the races in which they're 237 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: either really really close or our side actually wins, as 238 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: we did in the most recent election with Trump caring Wisconsin. 239 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: But in the spring elections, the voter turnout of the 240 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: liberals is about eighty percent of what turns out in 241 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: the November elections, but the conservative voter turnouts about sixty. 242 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: And we saw this this past year with the state 243 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: Supreme Court election, where the liberal who one got about 244 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: eighty percent of the vote that Kamala Harris got and 245 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: the conservative Shim Will got about sixty percent of the 246 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: vote that Trump got. It's a chronic problem. The DPI 247 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: election is in the spring, so a lot of the 248 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: people who are conservative but don't vote in these spring elections, 249 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: they're part of the problem. It's two groups. It's the 250 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: people that vote for these lefty hacks. In other words, 251 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: they're liberals and they want to They claim they care 252 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: about education. In fact, what they care about is the 253 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: people who work with in education. They don't want education better, 254 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: they don't mind that it's getting worse. They just want 255 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: the money to keep coming into their own pockets. It's 256 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: their loone care about this. If they cared about education, 257 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: they'd embrace school choice and all sorts of other schools. 258 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: They clearly do a better job in the public schools, 259 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: but they don't so on this issue here with regard 260 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: to this grooming, it's apparent to me that we have 261 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: a completely parallel story from the last century. From the 262 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: tail end of the last century of the twentieth century, 263 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: there was a scandal in the Roman Catholic Church with priests, 264 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: many priests. When I say many, a higher percentage than 265 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: should be. It was certainly not half, but the numbers 266 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: should be zero or fringe one percent. It was more 267 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: than that priests were molesting individuals, primarily young boys, not always, 268 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: but mostly. And as the story came out, it became 269 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: aware that leaders of the church were aware of this 270 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: and would shuttle these priests around after what they're caught 271 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: in one place, send them off to another community, and 272 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: never turn over a referral, and oh, give them the priest 273 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: counseling and so on. Eventually the thing blew up, and 274 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: all over America there were these funds that have been 275 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 2: created to pay all the victims of the priests. And 276 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: it went on because there was decades of looking the 277 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: other way, covering up in some cases people within the 278 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: parishes themselves who knew that there was a perverted priest, 279 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 2: but didn't demand that he'd be thrown in jail, and 280 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: it ended up blowing up in the face of the 281 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 2: Catholic Church. Now that it's exposed, the problem is virtually gone. 282 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: There are almost no cases anymore a priest being criminally 283 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 2: charged with this type of behavior. They basically urged the 284 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 2: bad ones out, and they've gotten very aggressive when they 285 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 2: hear of any kind of a problem to move forward. 286 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: But that's what's happened with any problem, any kind of problem. 287 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: When you ignore it, ignore it, ignored, it blows up 288 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 2: and threatens your institution. Well, then you got to deal 289 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: with it. Here's where we are. The same story, parallel 290 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: is going on with educators. You're hearing these stories all 291 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: over the place right now, and weirdly, it seems to me, 292 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: maybe it just it seems because you remember these cases more. 293 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: It seems to me that it's more women with male 294 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 2: students than males with girls. But there's just been a 295 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: lot of them. And every week, if you follow any 296 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: of these cases, and you know, there's YouTube channels that 297 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: are devoted to them. One well respected thirty seven year 298 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 2: old teacher and a sixty year old it's on and 299 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 2: on and on and on and on, and it's constant. 300 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: And I suspect it's the same thing that happened in 301 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: the last century with the Catholic Church, that the behavior 302 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 2: was going on and a lot of people were looking 303 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: the other way. And in this instance, DPI, for example, 304 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 2: is sitting on these reports and rather than jumping on 305 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 2: every opportunity. Let's imagine you have say a case in 306 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: which okay, the teacher's message a round with the kid, 307 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: but the kid's family doesn't want to make it, want 308 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 2: to make us think about it, so you can't find 309 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: criminal charges the non cooperating witness, you can still make 310 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: sure that person never teaches again. In the same notion, 311 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: as you know, a company's got somebody that may be 312 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: embezzling from it. He pays back, so you don't call 313 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: the police, but you make the guy's fired and you 314 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 2: don't ever give him a reference when he seeks another job. 315 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: I just think it's the same kind of thing that 316 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: this cancer that hit the Catholic Church, which I think 317 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: they've taken care of because they had to, and there's 318 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 2: been demands and within and without that they do so 319 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: is now incredibly in public education and the same looking 320 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: you're the other way that we saw before is going 321 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: on now. And the equivalent, say the bishops and the 322 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: cardinals that look the other way back in the nineteen 323 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: eighties and nineteen nineties, that'll be Jill Underley right now. 324 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 2: It's really the same story. Let me move on to 325 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: the great political debate right now in America. In fact, 326 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking at a Fox Monitor Radio got the headline, mom, 327 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: Donnie on the future of the Democratic Party. That's where 328 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: I'm going with this. I believe that what we have 329 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 2: known to be the Democratic Party in America is just dead. 330 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: It's dead. The left isn't dead. Democratic Party is dead, 331 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 2: and it's been displaced by the socialists. The only thing 332 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: that they want we haven't done is change the name. 333 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 2: You know, there's been a socialist Party in the United 334 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: States forever and ever and ever, and you get to 335 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: like one percent of the vote if that and so on. 336 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: But there's no need for it anymore because the Democratic 337 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 2: leadership has been taken over by socialists. So what you're 338 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 2: going to have, I think of the foreseeable future is 339 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 2: Republicans versus socialists. It used to be that there were 340 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 2: people on socialist ideology and the Democratic Party, and they 341 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: denied those days are long gone. They now brag about 342 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: it and put socialist in their name. Mam Donnie is 343 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 2: an example. Mam Donnie comes right out and says he's 344 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 2: a socialist. They use this term democratic socialist, but he's 345 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: a socialist and everything that he advocates as socialist. And 346 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 2: there's no shame anymore. And anybody on the left saying 347 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: the socialists that come all right on and brag we're 348 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: socialists for socialists or socialists. This takeover of the Democratic Party, 349 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: but the socialist has occurred because the traditional non socialist Democrat, 350 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: that's like the old bulls of the party, simply gave up. 351 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: They franced. Did you hear the word I use franced? 352 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 2: I turned France into a verb. They franced France to 353 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: be to France as opposed to the country of France. 354 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: To France. The engaging of France is to quit without 355 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 2: a fight, which is what they've been accused of doing 356 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 2: every time there's a war. They just roll over and 357 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: cave rather than fight. And that's what's happened in the 358 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 2: Democratic Party. The socialists have taken over. And you see 359 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 2: right now the Keem Jeffreys is the latest to endorse 360 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: ma'mdanni from Mayor of New York, i'm donnie as the 361 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: Democratic House leader. So if there was any type of 362 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: a version of these socialists, there'd be some pushback from 363 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: within the Democratic Party. And there really isn't. I've got 364 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 2: a code here posted on X over the weekend from 365 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House. Well, it's official. 366 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: The Democrat Party is a full fledged radical, big government 367 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: socialist party. House Democrats now fully endorse and stand by 368 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: truly dangerous policies like defunding the police, a massive tax increases. Meanwhile, 369 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 2: Republicans are fighting to lower costs, make streets safer, secure 370 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: our vorter, and delivering peace through strength. The contrast has 371 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: never been more clear. Marxist zoron Mamdani's extreme agenda is 372 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: the future of the Democrat Party, but we will not 373 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: allow it to be the future of America. Now, for 374 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: people who want to argue that mcdonni's vision is not 375 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: the vision of Democrats, find me five mainstream, well known 376 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: Democrats that are trying to stop Mamdani from getting elected Mayor. 377 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: Mair I said five, because you might get two or three. 378 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: Bill Ackman, the New York financier, lifelong Democrat, essentially being 379 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 2: chased over into our camp. The Democratic Party is in 380 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 2: the final stages of destroying itself. It is about to 381 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 2: be replaced by the Socialist Party. The New York City 382 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: mayoral election is not just about the future of New 383 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: York City. It is about the future of our country. 384 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 2: I agree with that. People say, well, it's just New York. 385 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: New York's the most important city. It's more important than 386 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: many states. Furthermore, this ideological battle in which it's just 387 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: clear that the majority of Democrats want a socialist to 388 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: be their candidate. You have an independent candidate Cuomo, who's 389 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 2: also a Democrat. He lost the Democratic primary. He's running 390 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: in the general election. Now on this what's going on 391 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: in that race? The election is in a few days 392 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: next I think it's it's either next week. I believe 393 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: it is the most recent poll and polling in a 394 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: manorial race as a little difficult because it's hard to 395 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: gauge voter turnout. Suffolk University is the two companies that 396 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 2: have played Suffolk University in Quinnipiac College are the two 397 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: polling companies that have been polling in New York. I 398 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: can't say that I can endorse the reliability of their polls. 399 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: But what we can do is at least it's in 400 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: apples to apples comparison. Because you compare the one poll 401 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: from last month on the same poling outfit, it shows 402 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: a closing of the gap in the race. But tightening 403 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: is the wrong word. In the September poll, Mamdanni had 404 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: a twenty point lead over Andrew Cmo. It's down to ten. Well, 405 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: the gap is certainly narrowed, but to say tightening, I 406 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: can't say that a ten point race tightening is the 407 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 2: right word. Here are the numbers. Mamdanni's at forty four percent, 408 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: Como's at thirty four percent. The problem is is that 409 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: the Republican candidate refuses to drop out of the race 410 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: despite overwhelming pressure to do so. That's Curtis Slee, while 411 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: he's at eleven. You can't make somebody drop out of 412 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: a race. Slee was big gig as he's been a 413 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 2: talk show host at WAVEC Radio in New York. His 414 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: general manager or the owner of a station. Castemaditis is 415 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: his name. John Castemaditas is a billionaire. He just endorsed 416 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: Cuomo Sleeve was said, I'll never go back to work 417 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: at that radio. They do what everything they can to 418 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 2: get him out of the race at an attempt to 419 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: save New York. A Cloma would be a bad mayor. 420 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 2: He was a bad governor. But he's a traditional Democrat. 421 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: He's not a socialist. New York said bad Democratic mayors 422 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: forever and ever and ever. The notion, however, of simply 423 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 2: having an out and out socialist who will tax every 424 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: last business in, every last wealthy person out of the state, 425 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: who's essentially said, I don't believe in locking people up. 426 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: All the other beliefs that he has, New York will 427 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: fall apart and the country will be badly damaged, and 428 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 2: all of the people have invested interest in the city 429 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: of New York not falling apart. But again, as I say, 430 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: they don't have a rule in which you have to 431 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: get better than fifty percent of the vote to win. 432 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: It's not one of those states where a runoff you 433 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: simply need a plurality out. If there are more than 434 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: two candidates running, the one who gets the most votes 435 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 2: is going to win. I've said for some time I 436 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: think Mamdannie's going to win if Sleewood dropped out of 437 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: the race, it might change things, but I don't think 438 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: he's going to drop out of the race. And secondly, 439 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: the other thing that these polls often don't measure is 440 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: which side is more motivated to vote, and has been 441 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: explaining forever, with the exception of Charlie Kirk's organization's involvement 442 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty four election, the left is just 443 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 2: way better in getting voter turnout than is the right. 444 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 2: The estimate is is that Mamdannie has ninety thousand canvassers. 445 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: Ninety thousand. That's the way to win. Somebody who's essentially 446 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: going to make sure that someone votes impressed me that 447 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 2: making sure can be either nefarious or simply cajoling. But 448 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: after Mamdatti wins for resuming, he does win it. And 449 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: you'll see it in the next presidential race whomever the 450 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 2: Republican is be advanced, or Rubio or whomever is going 451 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: to be running against a candidate who calls himself a 452 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: Democrat but will indeed be running on socialist principles. You 453 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: even see it in this whole debate over the shutdown 454 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: of America along these same lines. One of the things 455 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: that's undeniably happened in American It's not new, it's just accelerated. 456 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: The term used to be gender gap. They called it 457 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: a gender gap when they started noticing this drift of 458 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: women to the Democrats. They don't call it a gender 459 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: graph now because there's another drift going on, and that 460 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: is men moving overwhelmingly to the Republicans. There's a piece 461 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: that appeared recently on the Hill. It's a website that 462 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: covers Capitol Hill. It's an opinion piece written by somebody 463 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: named John mcgillan, why men are leaving the left and 464 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: not coming back. He makes some rather obvious but still 465 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 2: interesting points. I want to share a portion of it. 466 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: He writes, the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging men across the 467 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: United States. They are leaving in waves from the unions 468 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: that once powered the party's muscle, from classrooms that once 469 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: echoed with idealism, and from a movement that now talks 470 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: at them rather than to them. Poles show young men 471 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: flocking to the right in numbers not seen for generations. 472 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 2: The trend isn't a blip but a brutal reckoning, and 473 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: no amount of branding or beer ads will stop it. 474 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: The party's latest efforts to woo men are almost painful 475 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: to watch. The Democratic National Committee has poured money into 476 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: influencer partnerships, podcast cameos, and clumsy masculinity campaigns filmed in gyms. 477 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: Spokesperson's drown on about kitchen table issues as if men 478 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: are sitting there waiting to be emotionally validated between spoonfuls 479 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 2: of reheated stew. None of it works because it isn't real. 480 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 2: Men don't want to be sold to, they want to 481 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: be spoken to. The problem isn't packaging, but posture. A 482 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: party that has spent years pathologizing masculinity can't expect gratitude 483 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: from the men it is spent so long diagnosing. Let 484 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: me interject the whole toxic masculinity thing that they've been 485 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: drilling for everything. Well, is it really a surprise that 486 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: after years of saying that masculinity is toxic, there's a 487 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 2: lot of men who want to consider themselves masculine decide 488 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: that they're going to go over to the side that 489 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: doesn't consider themselves toxic. Continuing, there was a time when 490 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: Democrats didn't need to perform masculinity because they personified it. 491 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: Franklin Roosevelt Harry Truman and John Kennedy all spoke the 492 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: language of strength, duty, and sacrifice. Even Bill Clinton, for 493 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: all his flaws, employed charisma as a form of command. 494 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: Barack Obama combined intellect with authority. These were men who 495 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: carried themselves with the quiet confidence that others respected because 496 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: they aspired to it. But somewhere along the line, that 497 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: current of conviction faded. The virtues that once defined democratic leadership, resolved, discipline, 498 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 2: fortitude were recast as remnants of a primitive past. The 499 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: same movement that once celebrated builders and breadwinners began to 500 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 2: sneer at them. Masculinity became something to manage rather than 501 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: to honor. The sermon grew stale. Your privileged, you are problematic. 502 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 2: You were not welcome here anymore. That message has exhausted 503 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 2: its power. The modern democrat man, No, before I get 504 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 2: into his description. When you think of the modern democratic man, 505 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 2: who comes to mind, He's gonna give you examples, And 506 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: my guess is it's gonna be the same ones you're 507 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 2: thinking of. The one trending on social media. Fluent in 508 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: the language of lived experience feels less like a leader 509 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: and more like a life coach. Pete boudagain Pweet, Pete 510 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: boudagad Jet, Pete Buddhajeg speaks with the soothing detachment of 511 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 2: a corporate wellness coach. Corey Booker dispenses compassion like a 512 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: man who's been trapped on the seminar circuit too long. 513 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: Tim Walls Kamala Harris's ill fated Running Maid was less 514 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: a spark than a screensaver, steady, silent, and impossible to 515 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 2: remember once gone. They are not bad men, but they 516 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: are beije one. They speak softly while the world shouts. 517 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 2: They offer community care. When men were on competition, competence 518 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: and consequence, they promised conversation in a culture crying out 519 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: for courage. They mean well, but politics built on politeness 520 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: never stirs the blood. Democrats have mistaken attention for trust. 521 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 2: They think a viral podcast clip can replace authenticity. They 522 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: think a few relatable posts will fill the void left 523 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: by decades of distin But men are not looking for content. 524 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: They are looking for meaning. They are tired of being 525 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: told what's wrong with them, and desperate for someone to 526 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 2: tell them what's right. A party that once built bridges 527 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 2: now burns them. A movement that once fought for workers, 528 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 2: now fights for abstractions. No one believes it. It wasn't 529 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 2: always disconnected. The Democratic Party once inspired men to see 530 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 2: themselves as part of something greater families, unions, and a 531 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: country worth defending. Today, however, the same party mocks faith, discipline, 532 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 2: and fatherhood as punchlines. It worships inclusion but forgets loyalty. 533 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 2: It preaches equality but forgets basic humanity. If Democrats truly 534 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: want to win men back, they'll need more than consultants 535 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: and hashtags. They'll need to rediscover their backbone. They'll have 536 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 2: to speak about duty without apology, about strength without suspicion, 537 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: and about ambition without shame. They'll have to rediscover that 538 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 2: empathy without authority is just noise. They must remember that 539 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 2: admiration cannot be outsourced. It must be earned. Until then, 540 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: men will keep drifting right, not because they have changed, 541 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 2: because Democrats have. The Party of Roosevelt and Kennedy has 542 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: swapped metal for madness, common sense for the kind of 543 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 2: nonsense only consultants applaud. It no longer commands respect because 544 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: it no longer gives it. Pieces I said appeared on 545 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: the hill speaking of the femininization of men let's talk 546 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 2: about Canada. Can the more perfect example of the whole 547 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: loss of masculinity than Canada. And you think you want 548 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 2: to think of Canada as like this rugged country. There 549 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: they are up north, all cold and all of that stuff, 550 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 2: and it's become the woosiest country there is. See anyway, 551 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 2: if you're not aware, Ottawa, which is a province of Canada, 552 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: it's the one where sectually correct myself, Ontario, province of Canada. 553 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: It's the one where Taradu is. The province of Ontario 554 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 2: started running TV ads over the weekend and they were everywhere. 555 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: They're on the packer game, they were everywhere attacking President 556 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 2: Trump on trade. Now, first of all, the whole thing 557 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: is just suspicious. The country that has been terrifing to 558 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 2: death has been American products can be very very very 559 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 2: hard to sell in Canada. If Canada makes the same product, 560 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 2: they slap huge duties on our stuff. In addition to that, 561 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: it's very hard for Americans to get jobs working in Canada. 562 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: They're very very very restrictive on visus and so on. 563 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 2: So the whole lusion that suddenly, well, tariffs are execondly. 564 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 2: The way they do this is they put a voice 565 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 2: clip of Ronald Reagan in there. This is just I mean, 566 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember when the left just despised 567 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan. He's at any of these and actor, he's 568 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: of a poon, he's an extremist. Now the Left has 569 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 2: to channel Ronald Reagan to rebuke Trump, and they pull 570 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 2: out this cut of Reagan warning against tariffs. In fact, 571 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 2: Reagan's whole view on tariffs is rather mixed. He did, 572 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: indeed teariff a lot of things. His comments are made 573 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty seven with regard to opposition to a 574 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: particular tariff. None of what Reagan said in nineteen eighty 575 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 2: seven has a lot of relevance to anything that's going 576 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 2: on in twenty twenty five. But Canada is running this 577 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: ad in an attempt to embarrass Trump. So some turns 578 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 2: around and increases the tariff that we have in Canada 579 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 2: on carryo backs down, But then the ads kept running 580 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 2: all week and saying, well, it takes like five days 581 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 2: to pull ads. They always say that, and that seems specious. 582 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: But I work in the media. I can imagine if 583 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 2: somebody tried to get an ad pulled here, it would 584 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 2: take five days. Wouldn't it. But you would think, like 585 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 2: in an NFL game on NBC, it wouldn't be that hard, 586 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 2: would it. I and I want to end the segment 587 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 2: with this story. The government shutdown is now weeks old, 588 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 2: and most people haven't noticed it because President Trump has 589 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 2: made sure that a lot of necessary operations can contain you. 590 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 2: But the federal employees who are who agencies when shut 591 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 2: down have not been paid, and that's moving on for 592 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 2: a while. They've always kind of understood, well, when it reopens, 593 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: we'll get back pay, and that may still happen. But 594 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 2: now we're facing the food stamp funding for November. In Wisconsin, 595 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 2: we call food stamps food share. Food Share is going 596 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: to run out of money in the state of Wisconsin. 597 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 2: The estimate is seven hundred thousand people in Wisconsin get 598 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: funding under food share. And again, food share is our 599 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 2: term for the food stamp program. Same thing around the country. 600 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 2: There is no mechanism to fund food stamps when the 601 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 2: government is shut down. Short of a congressional vote, the 602 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 2: Republicans keep passing these bills to fund the government through 603 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 2: the Senate. Remember that in the Senate you need sixty 604 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 2: votes to pass a bill, not the fifty because you 605 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: sixty votes to end the debate. In the most recent vote, 606 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: three Democrats joined the Republicans. There's still I think six short. 607 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: The three Democrats are Federman of Pennsylvania and the two 608 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: Democrats from Georgia. I think the Democrats are banking on 609 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 2: that when people don't get their food stamp payments, that 610 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: Trump and the Republicans will get the blame. A couple 611 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 2: of problems with that. First of all, a lot of 612 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 2: these people are people who didn't vote for Trump. They 613 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 2: voted for Democrats. Secondly, the facts are obvious. The Republican 614 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 2: funding bill funds everything as it is, and they keep 615 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 2: passing a funding bill. The side that's opposing the funding 616 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 2: bill is the Democrats. It does make me wonder if 617 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: this will be the issue that gets the Democrats to 618 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 2: say uncle and end this. All they need to do 619 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 2: is signal the seven of their more moderate Democrats go 620 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 2: over and join the Republicans. We can let Cammy Baldwin 621 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 2: and the left wing hacks continue to vote the other way. 622 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: You just need to get seven of them over there, 623 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 2: or will they actually create a hunger crisis in the 624 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 2: United States because they continue to oppose the bill? That 625 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 2: would restore funding to all of this. I think this 626 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 2: will be the big challenge to the resolve of these 627 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 2: lefties who just the reason that they're not funding the 628 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 2: government is because they're left wing. Base just keeps telling 629 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 2: you gotta fight Trump, you gotta fight Trump, you gotta 630 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 2: fight Trump, you gotta fight Trump, you gotta fight Trump. 631 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 2: Are they willing to keep try fighting Trump to the 632 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 2: point that it's the Democrats that actually stop food stamps 633 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 2: from being issued in the United States. This is the 634 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 2: Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling podcast. The 635 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: following is quite a story. There's a historical component to 636 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: it because the event that's triggering the story is twenty 637 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 2: years old for the longest time. In Milwaukee eighties, nineties 638 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 2: and early zeros, the dominant street gang in town was 639 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 2: the Latin Kings. There were a lot of gangs. The 640 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 2: Latin Kings, by definition, were primarily Latinos, and they commandeered 641 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: the Latino neighborhoods of Milwaukee on the north side of Milwaukee, 642 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 2: which were the more African American neighborhoods. There were a 643 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 2: lot of different gangs. There were gangs, the Disciples, and 644 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 2: a bunch of others. And they fought over territory, but 645 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 2: the Latin Kings commandeered the South Side. They were very strong. 646 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,720 Speaker 2: There was even a member of the Milwaukee City Council 647 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 2: who was ended up being linked to the Latin Kings. 648 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 2: It was hard to do business and portions of the 649 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 2: South Side to do anything political without the nod of 650 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 2: the Latin Kegs, and they were a ruthless gang. The 651 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: Latin Kings remained very powerful across These gangs tend to 652 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 2: be national, but their local affiliates can get very very 653 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 2: weak when they lose territory of their people get thrown 654 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 2: in jail and so on. The Latin Kings are still 655 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 2: around all over the United States, but they are nowhere 656 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: near a strong in Milwaukee as they once were. And 657 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 2: part of the reason for that is the leader of 658 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 2: the Latin Kings disappeared twenty years ago. His name was, 659 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 2: well it was He still is, Armando Barragut. He was 660 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 2: one of the leaders of the Latin Kings. He was 661 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 2: implicated in the killing in two thousand and three of 662 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 2: a guy in Kutahy named Kevin Hirshfield. Some of you 663 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 2: may recall the story, and several members of the Latin 664 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 2: Kings were convicted of taking part. There was a beatdown 665 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 2: going on. The Latin Kings were doing a beatdown of somebody, 666 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 2: and Hirshfield intervened to help out the guy who was 667 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 2: being beaten down. So you stop a beatdown, what's the punishment? 668 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 2: They put on a death order on him. A hit 669 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 2: was ordered on Hirshfield, the guy from cut Hay for intervening, 670 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: and indeed he was killed. The authorities believe that the 671 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 2: guy who was principally responsible and put out the order 672 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: on the hit and may have actively participated, was Armando Barragon. 673 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 2: As I said, a couple of other people were since convicted, 674 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 2: but Barragon was never caught again. The murder was in three, 675 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 2: their indictments in five, and he just has disappeared. Well, 676 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 2: it's not very hard for me to figure out where 677 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 2: the guy went. Now, maybe you wouldn't know where he went, 678 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 2: but I'm saying broadly, I don't mean what block or 679 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 2: what building that he's in, And he went to Mexico. 680 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 2: Mexico is under the control of the gangs, and if 681 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 2: you're looking to flee criminal charges in the United States, 682 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 2: you're likely to go to Mexico, especially if that's your ethnicity. 683 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 2: It has been suspected that he was in Mexico. The 684 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 2: FEDS announced Friday of last week that they arrested him 685 00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 2: in Mexico. Twenty two years later, barrag And has been caught. 686 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,919 Speaker 2: There's reports on js online and a couple of other 687 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: news outlets based at a statement from the Milwaukee office 688 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 2: of the FBI. I did a segment last week saying 689 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 2: that the FBI is back, and it was in reference 690 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 2: to the sports gambling probe and so on, and this 691 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 2: is just another example of it. One of the things 692 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 2: that I think has happened in Trump's playing hardball with Mexico. 693 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: Mexico is now somewhat cooperative with the United States on 694 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 2: a lot of things because Trump started to play hardball 695 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 2: with them on trade and these trade battles that are 696 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 2: going on with different countries. You don't hear much on Mexico. 697 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 2: Mexico is, I think, generally cooperative with the United States. 698 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 2: I think what happened here and this is just speculation. Again, 699 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 2: this is not based on any information. This guy's been 700 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 2: in Mexico for twenty years and wasn't caught, and suddenly 701 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 2: he's called somebody the time term has dimed him. It's 702 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 2: another taking of a noun and try to get into over. 703 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 2: Somebody dropped her time. Somebody said here's where he is. 704 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: We went in and got him. And that had to 705 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 2: be with some cooperation with the Mexican authorities who in 706 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 2: the past might not and cooperative. Anyway, the guy has caught. 707 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: Now here's a story for you. This reported on js online. 708 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: Twenty four year old Milwaukee man arrested over the weekend 709 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 2: charged with drunk driving in Wisconsin, we call it owy 710 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 2: operating well intoxicated. He was going one hundred and seven 711 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 2: miles per hour on I forty one right near County 712 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 2: Line Road. Now that's a segment in I forty one 713 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 2: where Washington, Milwaukee, and Waukeshaw Counties are all close together. 714 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 2: You've passed out as I forty one angles to the northwest. 715 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 2: If you're leaving Milwaukee, see you cross out of Milwaukee County. 716 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 2: By the time you get to County Line Road, you're 717 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 2: in Waukeshaw County, which crosses into Washington County. This apparently 718 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 2: was still in Waukeshaw County because he was northbound. So 719 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: it's near County Line road, so he wasn't there, So 720 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,720 Speaker 2: it's Wakashawe County authorities that apprehended him. He was alleged 721 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 2: to be going one hundred and seven mileer, intoxicated and 722 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: had children in the car. No, I'm not going to 723 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: be the hippocrewe who gets on my high horse of 724 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 2: what's speeding. But one hundred and seven is not eighty 725 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 2: five second late. One hundred and seven when you're smashed 726 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: is not one hundred and seven when you're concentrating. Again, 727 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 2: that's just stating the obvious. Can you imagine a NASCAR 728 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 2: driver drunk while he's driving? Although there have been allocations 729 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 2: about it, there were the old Tim Richmond story. So 730 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 2: back in the day. Anyway, kids in the car? How 731 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 2: can you, no matter how reckless you are, how can 732 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 2: you do that if you get children in the car? 733 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 2: How His name is Ryad El Mahdi. Last name is 734 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 2: spelled E Lmahdi twenty four. I didn't find any other 735 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: criminal record on him. Let's thrin our attention to an 736 00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 2: update on the gambling charges from the FBI. It seems 737 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 2: to me that there's some shorthand going on in the 738 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 2: media here, which is misleading. Well, this is what happens 739 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 2: when the NBA embraces gambling and sports with all of 740 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 2: these sponsorships. First of all, I don't think that's what 741 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 2: it is. Let's imagine all these states legalized sports gambling, 742 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 2: but the NBA didn't have sponsorships. The guys still would 743 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 2: be doing the same thing. I don't think because you 744 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 2: go to a Bucks game and there might be a fan. Well, 745 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 2: actually the Bucks, you can't bet on sports in Wisconsin 746 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 2: except to Patawaamy go to another state or one of 747 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 2: these games. You see DraftKings is one of the sponsors 748 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 2: and so on. I don't think that's the reason, because 749 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: it's a sponsorship that some guys might be fixing games. 750 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,280 Speaker 2: The problem here is that as sports gambling goes from 751 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 2: what it was in the past, legal only in Nevada, 752 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 2: but widely done illegally with bookmakers either offshore or guys 753 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 2: working at a barbershops, mob connected, et cetera. That's what 754 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,359 Speaker 2: it was. We then went to thirty nine states now 755 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 2: having legal sports gambling in addition to that sports betting 756 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 2: in the past until all of this stuff got computerized. 757 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,439 Speaker 2: You know, back when the bookies were writing it down 758 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,399 Speaker 2: on napkins and so on. You couldn't have a proposition 759 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 2: on over under on rebounds, for Bobby Portis as an example, 760 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 2: you can now bet on those things. Fixing a game 761 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 2: is hard for an individual player to do. And let's 762 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 2: say it's a pitcher in baseball or something. But let's 763 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 2: imagine you're on a basketball team and you decide not 764 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 2: to play very hard or whatever unless your teammates are 765 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 2: in out of You mightn't win or cover anyway. But 766 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 2: the thing you can control is these propositions and your 767 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: own performance. You can, for example, pretend to be hurt 768 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 2: and take yourself out of the game. That way, you 769 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 2: don't even get the misshots or anything like that. Rebounds, 770 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 2: that's an easy one, Okay, I just not gott to 771 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 2: quite grab her that ball. It's sort of moving in 772 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 2: my direction. There are two separate cases here, or two 773 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,439 Speaker 2: separate types of gambling, and one of them doesn't seem 774 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 2: to have anything to do with the points spread. The 775 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 2: Chauncey Billufs case. He's the coach of the Portland Trailblazers. 776 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 2: He's accused of being mobbed up and being involved in 777 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 2: crooked poker games. Now it may well be that he 778 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 2: was doing this because he was in on the earlier 779 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 2: thing with regard to fixing games, but there's no allegation 780 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,319 Speaker 2: of that, so at least part of this case does. 781 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 2: The only player directly implicated here in terms of the 782 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 2: gambling lines is Terry Rogier of the Miami Heat. The 783 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 2: other two players Damon Jones, who spent two seasons with 784 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 2: the Bugs but is better known as Lebron James's best friend. 785 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 2: Damon Jones is accused, along the Chauncey Billips, the head 786 00:49:55,560 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: coach of Portland, with being involved in mafia poker games. No, 787 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 2: I know a little bit about the subject of these 788 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 2: mafia run poker games. First of all, most of them, 789 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 2: based in my experience which goes back just decades of 790 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 2: being around and hearing things, are not. The mob made 791 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 2: money by simply if there's a term called the rake, 792 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 2: and it's the same thing when you play in the 793 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 2: casinos in Las Vegas, the house takes a percentage of 794 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 2: all the bets in the game. Well, yeah, the Tony 795 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 2: Soprano game. In fact, that's what they weren't cheating anybody 796 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 2: in that game. You're simply made money off of There 797 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 2: was a little bit of a money. Say, let's imagine 798 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 2: this is just a silly way of expanding. There's three 799 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 2: thousand dollars bet in one hand. The mob would get 800 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 2: a cut. Let's say it's five percent of whatever it is. 801 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: That's what they would take and the rest goes into 802 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 2: the pod for the winnings. And their take was based 803 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 2: on hosting the game, providing perfection and so on. So 804 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 2: this notion of the Mob fixing card games was not 805 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 2: the common way it was done because who would take 806 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 2: part in the game that they thought was fixed. They 807 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 2: think it's not fixed. That's where Chauncey Billups comes in. 808 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 2: The allegation here is is that the Mob needed to 809 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 2: get well known figures to play in the games themselves 810 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 2: so that other people think it's on the up and up. 811 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 2: First of all, okay, I was got again. Chauncey Billips 812 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 2: is the break and that you're in the same game 813 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,840 Speaker 2: with him. But secondly, well, the game can't be corrupt 814 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 2: because Kanshi Billups, he must know what's going on and 815 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 2: so on. But the bigger question is how did Chauncey 816 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 2: Billups get tied up in the mafia to the point 817 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 2: that he's one of the frontmen for these games. I 818 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 2: think that that part of this might be more interesting 819 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 2: than the Terry Resir case. I do think in general, 820 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 2: and everybody says the same thing, and you're going to 821 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 2: see it a lot more in college sports. You can't 822 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 2: have legal betting in thirty nine states on sports without 823 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 2: thinking that there's going to be a lot of people 824 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 2: to try to fix the outcome of those bets. I'm 825 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 2: involved in horse racing. It's the one thing that you 826 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,840 Speaker 2: could legally bet up forever. It was the one sport 827 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 2: in which gambling was not only a you do it 828 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 2: right of the track. So it's fun. And there's always 829 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 2: been cases where people were caught involved in fixing and 830 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 2: so on. It's constantly probed and investigated. In the biggest 831 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 2: regulator of it is all the people that are involved, 832 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 2: because let's imagine Ioda Hortz. You don't want your jockey 833 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 2: or somebody fixing the race, but you can't have into 834 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 2: in general any type of gambling. People are going to 835 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 2: try to cheat. You know, there's been cheating alleged in 836 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 2: all sorts of things going on in Vegas, casinos and 837 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 2: all the other stuff. So when you have this as 838 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 2: pervasive as it is in sports, there's going to be cheating. 839 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 2: There's only one way to prevent it, and that is 840 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: the punishment for those who do it has to be extreme. 841 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 2: In baseball, your band for life, the whole Pete Rose thing, 842 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 2: the Black Socks, the Chicago White Sox through the World Series. 843 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 2: Back in the early nineteen hundreds, that's the term black 844 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 2: size came emerged. There's been very little of it since 845 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,720 Speaker 2: in baseball because everybody knew you were done for life. 846 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 2: You'd have to make a whole lot of a bet 847 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 2: to justify losing your entire career. Will you never get 848 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 2: a salary again? My guess is that what happens here 849 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 2: is these players start betting themselves, maybe not even necessarily 850 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 2: on the game that they're in, and they get in debt, 851 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 2: and now they're looking for a way to get out 852 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 2: of debt. They either owe money to bookies or they 853 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,240 Speaker 2: want to cash on their own bet. In other words, 854 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 2: tell their friends, Okay, place these fifteen thousand that I'll 855 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 2: score fewer than such and such points. Give me a 856 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: kick of it in order to get out of the 857 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: debt that they're involved in in the first place. I mean, 858 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 2: I don't think that the answer is to go around 859 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 2: and the genies out of the bottle. The states that 860 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 2: have legalized sports betting, you know, these states are all 861 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 2: making money off of it. They're not going to change it. 862 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 2: These proposition bets, however, I think they're risky for the 863 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 2: play places that are putting up the bets. You can 864 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,760 Speaker 2: go to Potawatami, you have to be on the premise. 865 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 2: We discussed that issue last week. It's amazing to me 866 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 2: the number of individual bets on a game. There are 867 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 2: probably ten receivers in last night's Packers Steelers game in 868 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 2: which you could bet on the number of receiving yards 869 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 2: they would have or the number of catches they would have. 870 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 2: I think that that's a risky bet for the bookmaker 871 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 2: that's putting up the bet, because if they get stacked 872 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 2: with all sorts of action, because somebody knows that a 873 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 2: guy's deliberately going to go under whatever that total is, 874 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 2: they can be stung. The other part of this, though, 875 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 2: the mob's influence. I think to me, the most surprising 876 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,560 Speaker 2: thing is I didn't know that there's enough of a 877 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 2: mafia left to be doing. We now know what they're doing. 878 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,760 Speaker 2: They've been pretty much driven out of the drug business 879 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 2: by all the cartels and everything. The garbage business in 880 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 2: some cities they're still around in and to some extent, 881 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 2: but waste management has every garbage contact. There is so 882 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 2: so much for that. Well, they're apparently the card game. 883 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 2: I don't even know why the mafia needs to run 884 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 2: a card game. A lot of states, gambling and cards 885 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 2: is now legal too, isn't it. I mean some of 886 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 2: the private games aren't. But I mean there's a lot 887 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 2: of part would you say, I mean, but you could, 888 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 2: for example, in the Las Vegas casinos, there are no 889 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 2: limit games that are going on there. Maybe you know, 890 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 2: I do think in some states that illegalize sports betting, 891 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 2: you still have to be I don't know that they've 892 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 2: I actually don't know if legal poker is all over 893 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 2: the place. Padawanavi had that poker room for a while. 894 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 2: I've just never heard of anybody particularly. They're just people 895 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 2: are just more interested in playing slot machines and sports 896 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 2: betting and so on. Saving the Sopranos here approving my 897 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: point that you claiming that there's a Seinfeld for everything, 898 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 2: that I actually that there's a Sopranos for everything. So 899 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 2: as I say, in terms of addressing the problem in 900 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 2: the case of saying, Terry Rose, You're okay whatever is 901 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 2: done to him. Criminally, he's got to be banned from 902 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,720 Speaker 2: the sport for life, and anybody else out there thinking 903 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 2: that has to understand you're going to be banned for life. 904 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 2: I think the temptation will always be greatest for somebody 905 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 2: who doesn't make a lot of money. One of the 906 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 2: dumb analyses that I've seen, though, is people saying, Terry 907 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 2: Rezime Max, I don't know what it is, like twenty 908 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 2: six million dollars a year, why would he be doing it. 909 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,439 Speaker 2: It's possible to me that he was so in death 910 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 2: that he's blown it all. The more money you have, 911 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 2: the more you tend to gamble, and people who have 912 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 2: the gambling itch and can't control it, they have the 913 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 2: ability to lose everything that they have that can't control it. 914 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,879 Speaker 2: Of course, is the keyle, well, why would you risk 915 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 2: for a ten thousand dollars bed? Twenty Well, what if 916 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 2: it's been more than just this one ten thousand dollar bed, 917 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 2: And what if it's more than ten thousand dollars? And 918 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 2: what if he's telling all of these people over here 919 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:05,839 Speaker 2: and so forth and so on? An example of how 920 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 2: the inside information on something like this, Cole Anthony of 921 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 2: the Bucks did not play last night. If somebody now, 922 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,760 Speaker 2: if a player doesn't play, I think that they cancel 923 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 2: the bet on it. But what if he only plays 924 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 2: three minutes. If someone would have known inside that Cole 925 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 2: Anthony was likely not to play that very much, somebody 926 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 2: could have bet. And that's where you just have to 927 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 2: be very, very vigilant, and not just players, but anybody's 928 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: staff or whatever. Anybody that shares any of this information 929 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 2: has to be manned for life. Other than that, I 930 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: don't know what the deturret is. It's the same position 931 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 2: that I take on any other kind of misbehavior. The 932 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 2: consequences have to be so great that it scares you 933 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 2: out of doing it. This is the Mark Belling podcast. 934 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast. Packers played on Sunday 935 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 2: Night football. We're doing this podcast on Monday afternoon. I 936 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 2: watched a whole game, probably most Packer fans did. I 937 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:08,000 Speaker 2: have a couple of observations. First, that second half was 938 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 2: as dominant as the Packers have been. There was a 939 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 2: point at which they had outscored Pittsburgh in the second 940 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 2: half twenty eight to three. Green Bay was down at 941 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 2: halftime sixteen to seven, and in fact, it should have 942 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 2: been worse. It would have been worse were it not 943 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 2: for the fact that Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh were terrible. 944 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 2: I won't say the red zone because sometimes it stopped 945 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 2: earlier than that. But Pittsburgh kicked three field goals in 946 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 2: the first half, two of those ten touchdowns, and the 947 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 2: margins a lot greater than sixteen to seven. Paul points 948 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,479 Speaker 2: out the Packers missed a couple of field goals. That's true, 949 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 2: but without regard to that, they could have been down 950 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 2: by even more than they were. Despite the fact that 951 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,000 Speaker 2: they were down by that margin, it didn't seem to 952 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 2: me that they had played terribly in the first half. 953 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 2: That second half, though, was stunning. A lot of attention 954 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 2: has been given to the fact that Jordan Love competed 955 00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 2: something like twenty passes in a row and so on. 956 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 2: I'll say this, other than one or two where he 957 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 2: did the old Brett fire thing and just threw the 958 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 2: ball up in the year and a Packer receiver went 959 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 2: and caught it. Packer receivers were open constantly. They're open constantly. 960 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 2: A lot of people will point out to the quarterback. 961 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 2: If receivers aren't open, there's not much that a quarterback 962 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 2: can do, And in the case of when receivers are open, 963 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 2: you have to be a pretty bad quarterback to not 964 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 2: take advantage. Having said that, I just thought that Jordan 965 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 2: Love was just in his zone and he knew where 966 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,840 Speaker 2: everybody was, and he'd look at the right guy at 967 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 2: the right time. As I said on the program two 968 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 2: weeks ago, Tucker Craft is now the best tight end 969 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 2: of the NFL. He had his best career game, He's 970 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 2: emerged into quite the player, and so on. So Green 971 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 2: Bay has not this record a five to one and one, 972 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 2: which is a weird sounding record, but it pretty much 973 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,479 Speaker 2: describes how they've played. They've had several games and last 974 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 2: night half of a game in which they've been dominant, 975 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 2: a couple of games in which they weren't very good, 976 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 2: and a couple of games in which they're so so, 977 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 2: which leads you to have one of the best records 978 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 2: in the league. The Pack also had the advantage of 979 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 2: getting one of their receivers back, Watson. I think that 980 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 2: they've really missed Jaden Reid, who they lost after a 981 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 2: couple of weeks in the season. Getting Watson back kind 982 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 2: of replaces Jaden Reid, which helps them out in terms 983 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 2: of the Packer defense. It was just a dominant performance 984 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 2: predicated on, you know, for the first time in years, 985 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 2: the Packers have passed rush, thanks to Micah Parsons getting 986 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 2: they triple team him. Thanks the I mean, you wonder 987 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 2: why Rashan Gary gets the quarterback? Everybody there's another guy 988 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 2: over there that they got three guys black and it 989 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,439 Speaker 2: means it means you know, and it got inside Aaron 990 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 2: Rodgers's head. Aaron Rodgers was stowing early all the time 991 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 2: because he knew that the Packer pass rush was coming. 992 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 2: A very, very impressive game for the Packers. A couple 993 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 2: of other football comments. This thing with regard to firing 994 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: coaches is Brian Kelly got fired by LSU over the weekend. 995 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 2: We're seeing coaches who have incredible track records now getting 996 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 2: fired because of tours, not even a bad season, like 997 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 2: a portion of a season that isn't great. Admittedly, they 998 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 2: got slaughtered by Texas A and M, but they almost 999 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 2: won a national championship. With Brian Kelly, they had an 1000 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 2: incredibly high powered offense. Was it in his first year 1001 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 2: when they had Jaden Daniels, and who's the really great 1002 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 2: receiver that he had. They have Malik Neighbors down there. 1003 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 2: I mean, he's been a successful coach forever and ever 1004 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 2: and ever. They've only been okay this year and then 1005 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 2: they got pasted in one particular game and it got fired. 1006 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 2: I mean, Penn State fired James Franklin. Every Badger fan 1007 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 2: that I know is hoping that the Badgers can hire 1008 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 2: James Franklin. Now they'll talk about Brian Kelly. These teams 1009 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 2: that are firing coaches, every other school would want to 1010 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 2: have them. Part of it is just the fan base 1011 01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 2: just can't get passed living in the short term. Secondly, 1012 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 2: I don't know who all these teams think that they 1013 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 2: get is going to be better than some of these 1014 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 2: people that have winning seasons year in and year out. 1015 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: But every team can do what it is that they want, 1016 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 2: and maybe some of these decisions work out for them. 1017 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 2: But it's kind of stunning to see coaches that have 1018 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 2: winning percentages of like seventy five percent getting canned. As 1019 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 2: Wisconsin they played. Paul and I were both wrong. We 1020 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 2: thought Oregon would cover a thirty two point spread against Wisconsin, 1021 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 2: and they didn't come close. Wisconsin played Oregon very, very tough, 1022 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 2: and the Wisconsin defense was spectacular. I mean, Wisconsin's offense 1023 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 2: is not existent. They can't move the ball at all, 1024 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 2: in part because they have a third string quarterback. They 1025 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 2: don't seem to want to go back to the second 1026 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,920 Speaker 2: string quarterback, and I think that the first three quarterback 1027 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 2: has checked out his injury notwithstanding, and the offensive line 1028 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 2: for Wisconsin is atrocious, so the defense is constantly on 1029 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 2: the field. But Oregon has one of the best offense 1030 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 2: in college football and they couldn't do anything against Wisconsin. 1031 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 2: This is after Wisconsin had played two really tough teams 1032 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 2: in a row and both Paul and I thought that 1033 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 2: they would be beaten down. But very inspiring football. In 1034 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 2: addition to that, Wisconsin now did the thing that Fickle 1035 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 2: didn't want to do, and they're starting to play some 1036 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 2: of their true freshmen. You don't want to do that 1037 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 2: because you lose a year of eligibility when you play them. 1038 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 2: But you know, the running back of Tuca had a 1039 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 2: I think, pretty good game behind a bad offensive line. 1040 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 2: On defense, had a couple of freshmen that were out there. 1041 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 2: Mason Posa has just emerged. He not a freshman, but 1042 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 2: he's emerged into an outstanding player. It's kind of been 1043 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 2: an inevitability of Wisconsin would fire Luke Fickel, I'm I 1044 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 2: think you have to play this season out and see 1045 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 2: whether or not they can improve and beat a couple 1046 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,960 Speaker 2: of teams down the stretch before you could do that, 1047 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 2: because it's clear that a portion of the rebuilding of 1048 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 2: Wisconsin is bearing fruit on the defensive side of the ball. 1049 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 2: The offense is still a mess. Same same thing with 1050 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 2: regard to these better teams that are firing coaches. You 1051 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 2: fire the coach anymore. With the new rules on transfer 1052 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 2: and nil, everybody transfers, they all leave a coach. Player 1053 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 2: that comes to play for one coach, they fired that coach, 1054 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna leave, and they're gonna go to another school 1055 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:19,200 Speaker 2: and you start over again. So I think Wisconsin showed 1056 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 2: signs of life defensively. Offensively, until they get that offensive 1057 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 2: line fixed and they can get a first sprint quarterback 1058 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 2: that doesn't get knocked out in the first game of 1059 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 2: the year, which has happened really three years in a row. Here, 1060 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 2: that's clearly a mess. But I'm very surprised. I thought 1061 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 2: they'd lose by fifty points, and so did Paul and 1062 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 2: seven the defense played well enough to win. I mean, 1063 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 2: the offense finally got a touchdown after three weeks, but 1064 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 2: that was an incredible defensive performance by Wisconsin. Paul said, 1065 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,440 Speaker 2: whatever game, Yeah, the moment you made that pick, I 1066 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 2: will say this about football this weekend. I've had a 1067 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 2: good year at our because I would wrong about everything 1068 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 2: my second, third, fourth, or fifth. I mean, my favorite 1069 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,479 Speaker 2: game in the NFL was the most humiliatingly terrible pick. 1070 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 2: And I'll just admit this. I thought the Falcons would 1071 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 2: crush the Dolphins. The Dolphins crushed the Falcons. I thought Pittsburgh, 1072 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 2: especially when the line was three and a half, was 1073 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 2: a good bet against the Packers. The Packers covered on 1074 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 2: that one. I thought Illinois had a chance to beat 1075 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 2: Washington straight up in the Big Ten. Washington beat him. 1076 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 2: So sometimes it's in these cases of you know, oh, 1077 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 2: if I wish I'd have picked this game, anything I 1078 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 2: would have picked, I would have been wrong about this 1079 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 2: past weekend. All right. I have nothing particularly to offer 1080 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 2: about the World Series other than, you know, there's always 1081 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 2: this thing when the Brewers getting knocked out, who do 1082 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 2: you want to win. I never want anybody else to 1083 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,440 Speaker 2: win in anything. I mean, unless you like have a 1084 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 2: pick on the game or something. But like, if the 1085 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 2: Super Bowl doesn't involved the Packer, who do I want 1086 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 2: to win? Kansas City or Philadelphia? I mean, it's just 1087 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 2: I don't like this. I don't like I don't like 1088 01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 2: any other team. I mean, listen. And then there's this 1089 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 2: problem of the Dodgers. Part of me wanted the Dodgers 1090 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,360 Speaker 2: to win because it reaffirms that the Brewers at least 1091 01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 2: got knocked out by a good team. But then there's 1092 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 2: the whole you know, yeah, Los Angeles, you know, Gavin Newsom, 1093 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 2: you don't like this. I have moved over though this 1094 01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 2: ad that Ontario is running attacking Trump. That's where Toronto 1095 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 2: has screw them. I'm sure I needed some reason to 1096 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 2: grab onto something. So I'm gonna go to the Dodgers now, 1097 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 2: just because everybody in Canada is just they're sticking a 1098 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 2: finger in my eye and I'm smart enough to say, leep, 1099 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 2: you all right, that's it for rauh. Trudeau is dating 1100 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 2: Katie Perry. I mean that just it actually seems appropriate, 1101 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 2: doesn't it. Here's a good question, who's the dumber of 1102 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 2: the two. I mean, if you're two dumbs does not 1103 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,160 Speaker 2: equal smart. In other words, if you take two IQs 1104 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 2: of fifty, you don't get one hundred. All right, that's it. 1105 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 1: The Mark Belling Podcast is a production of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 1106 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Production and engineering by Paul Cronforest.
