00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio Podcasts.

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: I have a perfect item to start the podcast with today.

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: One of the things that I've been saying I can't

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: say forever, but i'd say the last ten years that

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: I started saying on my radio program, and I said

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: it all the time, is you can't exaggerate liberalism anymore.

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: I mean, if I come out and say the next thing,

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: you know they'll do, and then come up with the

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: craziest possible thing, invariably I will find out that it

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: in fact is already happening, that it's reality. Anyway. Here's

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: an example of this. There's a post that appeared on

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: X over the weekend. It's the poster is an important

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: other than I'll identify the handle for the poster. There

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: is to Tania McGrath. And here's the post. My friends

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: and I have been out all day protesting against this ceasefire.

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: We demand a ceased fire that wasn't arranged by Donald Trump.

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: We will never give up the struggle for peace. Now

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: here's The thing about this, there's all sorts of reaction

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: to this post, and here's where the reaction is. No

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: one knows if this is a sarcastic post making fun

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: of the left, or if it actually is a Lefty

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: expressing that position. And that is what it's come to.

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: The left is so extreme that you now don't know

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: unless you know who the person is individually. You know,

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: if a Chuck Schumer or something. Unless you know the person,

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: you don't know if it's somebody pretending to be a

30
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: leftist so stupid, or if it actually is a leftist

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: that is that stupid. There's no way of knowing anymore. Seriously,

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: how do you even know when they're kidding? Like Schumer

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: said over the weekend, every day of the shutdown gets better, Well,

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: that's an odd thing. I'm assuming he meant it. But again,

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: if you would have put those words in his mouth

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: to make fun of him, they would have been insulted

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: that you would. That is what it's come to. You

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: no longer can tell when the Left is kidding or not,

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: because everything that they believe in is so crazy that

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: it sounds like they're kidding even when they're not. So,

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Rather than decide whether or not this is real or not.

42
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: The more important point is you can no longer tell

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: there is obviously truth, and they're thinking to this. They

44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: hate the fact, you know, And as you know, I'm

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: a skeptic as to whether or not this ceasefire can hold. Nonetheless,

46
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: if it does, it's an undeniably good thing. They can't

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: stand good things happening if Trump has anything to do

48
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: with that good thing. They'd rather have terrible things. I mean,

49
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: it's just an unbelievable concept. I mean, if Trump walked

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: up to one of them, See, they're selfish, so this

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: wouldn't work. Trump walked up to one of them and

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: gave them a million outs. It turned it down because

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: of Trump. They would not do that because they're selfish.

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: But things that don't directly affect them, like world peace

55
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: and so on, they're more frosted if Trump brings us peace.

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: If Trump brought us some terrible war and there was

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: massive conflict that people were dying, they would be happy

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: by that because then they could bitch about him. Extraordinary thing. Really, Oh,

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: they've belonging against. I mean, Obama changed their whole peace thing.

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: Obama and Killery are warmongers for Heaven's sakes, and we

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: could dive into the history of all of it. But

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: enough hift history for the day, although there will certainly

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: be a segment on Columbus Day as we move forward,

64

73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: It is certainly not surprising that President Prompe did not

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: win the Nobel Peace Prize. I said, I don't remember

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: which podcast it was, maybe Thursday or Wednesdays of last week,

76
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: that he's not gonna win the Nobel Peace Prize. They

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: aren't going to give it to him. It goes back

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: to the point that we were making in that introductory

79
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: sacred here. It doesn't matter how much Trump could somehow

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: wave a magic wand and war could end forever and

81
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: he wouldn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. I think he

82
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: really wanted to win it because he's out for ratification

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: for stuff like this, but it isn't gonna happen. It's

84
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: the same chance that a Mel Gibson movie would have

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: of winning an Academy Award for Best Picture. But that's

86
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: not the reason I bring up this segment. Many people

87
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: do not know who did win it. Her name is

88
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: Maria Coriina Machado. She's deserving. I don't mean like pitted

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: against Trump or anything, but in less than a vacuum

90
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: isolated on herself, she's deserving. She is somebody who has

91
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: been advocating for the victims in Venezuela who have suffered

92
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: so terribly under communist rule. Anyway, she put out the

93
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: following statement after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. This recognition

94
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to

95
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: conclude our task to conquer freedom. We are on the

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: threshold of victory, and today, more than ever, we count

97
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: on President Trump, the people of the United States, the

98
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: peoples of Latin America, and the Democratic nations of the

99
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy.

100
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela

101
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause.

102
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: So the woman who did win the Nobel out of

103
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: all the leaders of the world, called out Trump for

104
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: praise in Trump's push for peace globally without having to

105
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: use American military force. I wonder, and I don't know,

106
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: because I didn't check every I wonder how widely covered

107
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: that component of her statement was given. All I could

108
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: see in the media is Trump doesn't win Nobel Peace

109
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: for I not even mentioned Trump didn't get it. You

110
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: know the term for this when you see the IF

111
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: a lot of times they throw out initials and people

112
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: don't know what they stand for. TDS is Trump Derangement syndrome,

113
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: and it's the explanation for all things in which the

114
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: Left has simply lost its mind because of their loathing

115
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: over Trump. There's a really interesting story to examine here

116
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: that's part of this, and that is Letitia James turning

117
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: general New York State. She's now facing criminal charges for

118
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: mortgage fraud, which it's pretty clear she did it in

119
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: her defense. The crime that she's accused of another prominent

120
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: Democrat prosecutor is facing similar charges. Is a crime that's

121
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: committed all the time and rarely prosecuted. It's lying in

122
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: order to get favorable treatment on your mortgage. But here's

123
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: the thing. This crime she's charged with is in the

124
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: exact same area as her own. The term is just

125
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: so appropriate. Trump up charge against Trump. Trump was criminally

126
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: charged for in his loan applications for financing of some

127
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: of his properties, that he overstated the underlying value of

128
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: the property, which again happens all the time. In order

129
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: to justify I'll just use short, smaller numbers to make

130
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 2: it understandable. Let's suppose I'm looking for a five million

131
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: dollar loan for some piece of property and I say

132
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: it's worth five million. Well, maybe it's assessed that only

133
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: two point seven million. That the five million isn't going

134
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: to be what it's worth until after I do the

135
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: improvements or whatever I think I'm gonna do. Happens all

136
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: the time. Here's the thing, though, with regard to this,

137
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: and it was a loan via bond holders. This loan

138
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: was in the past, and it's been paid off. The

139
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: loan's paid off, so there's no victim here, whether or

140
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: not Trump overstated the underlying value. Nobody was conned because

141
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: they all got their money and their interests back. So

142
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: it was simple. And again and all these people they're

143
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: going after things for Trump, they're looking for anything because

144
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: they can't find anything anything actually illegal. That was Letitia James.

145
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: So now in her instance, here we see her doing

146
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: something similar, but in this case she actually did it.

147
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: There are all these government programs regarded owning of properties.

148
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: Some are based on principal residences, some are second residents.

149
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: She was seeking financing for what she listed as a

150
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: second residence. You're able to get a break on the

151
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: interest rate if it's a second residence. Now, what's a

152
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: second residence you I'm surprised you don't have a second

153
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: residence by now as rich as you are in there. Well,

154
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: now what do you have that condo wind Door County?

155
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: What is that a timeshare or reddle or what is it?

156
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: It's a timeshare? Yeah, see that they don't they would

157
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: not fit into that category. But a second residence is

158
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: somebody who owns I don't have I rent my property

159
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: in Florida. Let's imagine I owned a residence in Florida.

160
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: In addition to hear I qualify for preferential rates more

161
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: so than if it is income property. I suppose I

162
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: bought a building in Florida and readed it out for tenants. Well,

163
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: I can't call that a second residence because it's not

164
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: for the purpose of my residence. That's what James did.

165
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: She rented the property out, meaning she should have gotten

166
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: a different interest rate. But she said on the document

167
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: and everywhere, I just uh close on a lease on

168
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: a new vehicle. I mean, I have no clue what

169
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm signing. It's just you just keep signing and signing

170
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: and signing and signing and sign and the sign and

171
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: the sign and signing. But when I say no clue

172
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: you know kind of what it all is, and they explain,

173
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: They sort of explain, but they aren't gonna They don't

174
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: want the thing to take ninety seven hours. It's all

175
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: of this that you after this goes and so on.

176
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: So she signed her name to this and under all

177
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: of these things. It's probably your you're affirming that everything

178
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: that you're stating is true. But in this instance, she

179
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: knew exactly what she's doing. Her defenders are saying, yeah,

180
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: but you know how many people do this? My Grandcha.

181
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: She went after the ex president of the United States,

182
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: and she campaigned when she ran for the office, she

183
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: campaigned she get Trump. So she had to fulfilling her promise.

184
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: So she brought up this ridiculous charge against Trump for

185
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: something that is by any standard, a non crime. If

186
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: there's no victim, it's not a crime. If Trump had

187
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: in fact defaulted on the loan after overstating the underlying

188
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: value of the property. Remember also that there were rulings

189
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: in that case that valued Trump's assets said a fraction

190
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: of what they were worth. There's a ruling in which

191
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: they said mar Laga was worth like a dollar and

192
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: a half. All this stuff was done and attempt to

193
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: justify these charges. But now James herself is facing a

194
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: mortgage fraud charge. It's a felony, and the if she's convicted,

195
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: the normal sentencing recommendation is a short period in prison.

196
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: Had she not and people said this is all just

197
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: payback from Trump, payback from Well maybe it is, but

198
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: what would you expect if you charge an innocent guy

199
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: Trump was something When you yourself are guilty of something, you

200
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: would not expect you to have those charges brought against you.

201
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: So now all these quotes that Legicia James came, all

202
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: these posts that she made over the years, are all

203
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: coming back to haunt her, all of those, you know,

204
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: just like the whole nobody is ever going to stop

205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: bringing up on Adam Schiff his saying nobody is above

206
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: the law, and then Schiff himself gets caught similar type

207
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: of crime, claiming two different residences as his principal residence.

208
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: Is so on, Anderson Cooper of CNN, see now all

209
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: these Democrats admitting after the fact that well, maybe Tiss

210
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: James should not have been crowing about indicting Trump in

211
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: the first place. According to PolitiFact, the day after she

212
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: was elected in twenty eighteen, Letitia James was asked by

213
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: a community activist if she was going to sue President Trump,

214
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: but she replied, Oh, we're definitely going to sue him.

215
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: We're going to be a real pain in the ass.

216
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: He's going to know my name personally. Cooper recalled on

217
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: Thursday of last week, I mean, that's not a great

218
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: look for somebody who has just been elected, who has

219
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: just been campaigning, who hasn't even looked, I guess deeply

220
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: at any evidence. Now, Anderson Cooper says, this now in

221
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, nobody was saying any of that when

222
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: these people were crowing to go out and get Trump

223
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: at the time that they actually said it. In her

224
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: own bragging about the charges that she brought. Letitia James

225
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: herself was you know, she was doing the poems and

226
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: putting out the big statements in that nobody's above the

227
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: law kind of crap and all of that stuff. And

228
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: here it now is, do I think that what she

229
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: did is an extraordinary violation of the law? Ay, it's

230
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: clearly a violation of the law. And b it's one

231
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: of those violations of the law that all sorts of

232
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: people do, including sanctimonious liberals. I go back in time

233
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: to the nineties, they made a big deal. This is

234
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: when the liberals are on the opposite side of illegal immigration.

235
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: I forget who he the first one was, but some

236
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: politician was caught they were using an illegal immigrant to

237
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: do daycare for their child, you know, a live in daycare,

238
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: the live in nanny types. Even back then, huge numbers

239
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: of them are illegals. Because try to find an American

240
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: citizen who's going to just move into your house and work.

241
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty eight hours a week and so on. Secondly,

242
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,239
Speaker 2: the illegals were giving you a higher quality of employment

243
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: pool than some of the legal citizens on their drugs. Anyway,

244
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: it was. And then there were number of other cases

245
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: of people that were caught using illegal immigrants to do

246
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: their home health care and home care and all of

247
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: that stuff and so on, and the liberals are just

248
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: outraged over this. Well, of course that was then and

249
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: this is now. They now think that illegal immigrants are

250
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: the best people in the world, and they would ever

251
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: make a deal about that. But the point that was

252
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: brought up at the time is it was such a

253
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: common crime, should anybody be individually targeted because you raised

254
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: the prospect of hypocrisy? Given that probably million we're doing it,

255
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: is it fear to charge only a few. It's the

256
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: old speeding ticket argument. Guys speeding on the freeway, cop

257
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: pulls him over. Guy says to the cop, everybody else

258
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: is going over the speed limit too. The cop says, yeah,

259
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: but you're the one I caught. It's kind of the

260
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: same point story here. One of the ramifications of the

261
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: crackdown on illegal immigrants, and secondly, the closing of the

262
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: border is the American businesses whose business model basically was

263
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: to market to illegals. Company collapsed over the past week.

264
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: It's called it Try Color. That name had a meaning.

265
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: Do you know about the Try Color collapse? Do you

266
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: know anything about this? Or you you do not? You

267
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: don't know anything about it. It's involved in making loans

268
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: to finance in someone. It's logo Tricolor. The logo that

269
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: the company has is almost exactly the Mexican flag. It's

270
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: not the Mexican flag, but if you didn't know any better,

271
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: you'd think that it was. So they were communicating who

272
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: their target market was. Start kicking illegals out. Add more importantly,

273
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: and the potential flow of any new business sentence, we're

274
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: not letting anybody back in. They went under and again

275
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: their business model, as I said, they never really made

276
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: much of an attempt to hire. They call themselves Tricolor,

277
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: and the tri color three colors are the colors that

278
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: almost exactly match the Mexican flag. And this is a

279
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: huge segment of their business. They were focusing on. Think

280
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: of the old mortgages. You heard the term subprime. They

281
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: were focusing on caier loans for people that basically weren't creditworthy.

282
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: And the business model is you charge very very high

283
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: interest rates because the person is a huge individual risk,

284
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: and you hope you make enough money on the people

285
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: who pay back their loans to swallow the amount of

286
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: losses that you have. Now with their potential client base

287
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: shriveling up, they're out of business. You know, I'm always

288
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: thinking about ways to make money in our world. As

289
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: you know, there are a couple of businesses out there

290
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: that I think are kind of premised on the same

291
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: thing of doing a lot of business with illegals, but

292
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: the notion of like shorting a stock, and if a

293
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: company goes bankrupt, the stock usually goes close to zero

294
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: or to zero. I just have a hard time doing

295
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: that when the stocks keep going up and the one

296
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: or two that I was thinking of their stacks keep

297
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: going up. Well, I mean, you can lose an astonishing

298
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: amount of money if you short a stock that's going up,

299
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: and often when they go down, it's an instantaneous thing

300
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: where they declare bankruptcy, and nobody even seemed to have

301
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: any indication that it was coming. Columbus Day. Trump issued

302
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: a proclamation for Columbus Day, and then he sent out

303
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: a social media post. It said we're back Italians. Columbus

304
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: a has, you know, in the minds of the liberals

305
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: become a terrible day, and in many communities they've changed

306
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: the name to Indigenous People's Day, reflecting the people who

307
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: were here before Columbus was here. I want to comment

308
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: for a moment on it whether or not Columbus they

309
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: should be a federal holiday or not. I'm agnostic. We

310
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: can't keep creating new holidays. And obviously if you create

311
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: a new one, unless you're just going to keep saying

312
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: that we're never going to deliver the mail in this

313
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: country or federal workers. That put kind of a kick

314
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: in the butt for the federal workers who would have

315
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: had to day off, though, is it it? The reality

316
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: of Columbus. Now, let's start with this. If Columbus, who

317
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: while Italian, was actually working for Spain, Spain funded him.

318
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 2: Italians wouldn't give him the money. If Columbus had not

319
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: come and discovered the New World, someone was going to

320
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: he'd probably beat whoever the next guy was by one

321
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: or two years. It was beginning to dawn on a

322
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: lot of people that the earth isn't flattered. That if

323
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: you if you start heading to the West. Eventually you're

324
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: going to bump into something the great irony, you know.

325
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: Columbus and many of those, you know, they thought that

326
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: the first thing you get to would be India, that

327
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: you'd beginning to the edge of Asia, rather than this

328
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: whole other continent and whole other half of the world

329
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: that was there. But they went. And because they went,

330
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: and because he discovered land, and because word was sent back,

331
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: the new world was explored. Now in terms of identifying

332
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: it with Columbus, he was first, and he was courageous,

333
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: and he was a visionary. Could you just imagine what

334
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: it would have been like on those three ships setting

335
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: sailed for a new world, and you're sailing and sailing

336
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 2: and by these ships were going you know, they're countering headwinds.

337
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: There's no motors on these ships. It's taken forever and

338
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: they're going through nothing and nothing and nothing, and you

339
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: see just a bunch of nothing. The word is is

340
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: that Columbus had about two more weeks and they were

341
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: going to hang them. Well, Benci, they stumbled in one

342
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 2: of the lands, one of the islands in the Caribbean.

343
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: Ind word came back here it is, and then everything

344
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: else was discovered In reality, the Norwegians were probably first,

345
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: and some think people from what we now call Russia

346
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: came over to the other side of North America long

347
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: before that. It's hard to really know, but the case

348
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: is pretty compelling that Leif Erikson came over and landed

349
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: somewhere in what we would call Canada or New England

350
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: many years prior to that. The thing that was curious

351
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: is that it was not followed by any type of

352
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: exploration from anyone else. What was key about Columbus is

353
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: that it did start the migration to the New World.

354
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: The fact that it was Columbus and the fact that

355
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: it was a European nation meant that what came over

356
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: to the United States from all of those nations of

357
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: Europe was a sense of a civilization. It was a

358
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: civilization that was both premised on where they came from

359
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: and a rebellion against it. While the Spanish, as I say,

360
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: Columbus being Italian, he was still funded by Spain, which

361
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: is why much of that part of the world was

362
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: colonized by the Spaniards. The English came in and they

363
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: took a good chunk of the North American mainland, and

364
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: in particular we now know as the founding states of

365
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: the United States of America, and the religion, the culture,

366
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: the beliefs of those countries came over here, but there

367
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: was a rebellion against the form of government that did

368
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: not empower the individual. Who knows if someone else's first,

369
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: what kind of a culture and civilization we would have had.

370
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: Columbus and the Spanish, and for that matter, the Italians

371
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: were Christians and Catholics, specifically the Salvation. If you're a believer,

372
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: if you're of a Christian of the people who came

373
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: over here and the people who ended up finding this religion,

374
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: if you're a Christian, I understand if you're not, you

375
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't think it's a good thing. Would certainly be a

376
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: good thing. The most overwhelmingly overwhelmingly Christian population in the

377
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: world is Latin America and South America. These are people

378
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: who descended from the indigenous people and then bread and

379
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: had kids with if you want to call them invaders

380
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: or colonizers, whatever they did. If you're a Christian, you

381
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: have to believe that souls are saved as a result

382
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: of this. This notion, however, that any of this is

383
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: an invasion. First of all, Columbus didn't invade anything. Columbus

384
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: didn't go and run rough shot across the wild West,

385
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: killing off. He's hanging around there on the Caribbean. They

386
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: made a couple more trips, and then everybody else came.

387
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: For people who argue that the bringing of Western civilization,

388
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: bringing a civilization to the US in simpilation and creating

389
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 2: it is a good thing. They can go back to

390
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: the earth and live the lifestyle that the indigenous people

391
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: were living. Then they can do that, or they can

392
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: leave and go back to Europe out of their guilt,

393
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: which they never do. It has been a slur and

394
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: it's it's always been interesting to me, actually that it's

395
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: been the Italians that have most objected to the de

396
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: Columbus staying of Columbus because, as I say, he was

397
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: actually representing Spain. He's working for Spain. Isabella and Ferdinand,

398
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: the royal family of Spain. They're the ones that funded

399
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: and bankrolled them. You cannot even name the ships that

400
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: Columbus came over on, can you. He's got he's gonna

401
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: bolix this right and left. I'm gonna repeat this. You

402
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: said the Santa Maria. That's one whenever you start a

403
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: question with it is that it's a side of lack

404
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: of confidence. What were you gonna say? I want to

405
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: hear this. Yeah, we're stalled at one. Pinta is right,

406
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: that's two. That was my first cow I ever had

407
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: was a pinto. There were any number of jokes on that.

408
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: I said, my pinto the same horse power as the

409
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: pin to the game of the Nina or Nina Nina

410
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: sata mav and which one did Columbus himself sail on?

411
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: There was a command ship, he was on the Saturary

412
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: and Santa Maura of course stands for Saint Mary. So

413
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: I mean the Christianity of this? Well, yeah, there was

414
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: a Sopranos episode where they all object. They had a

415
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: rally against the people who were trying to knock there,

416
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: and Tony was the only one that wasn't in duty.

417
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: All this stuff about Pridy your ethnicity is a bunch

418
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: of huey. And you kept saying that there was a

419
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: there was a site field about everything, and I could

420
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: tell there's a Sopranos about there's a Sopranos about everything.

421
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: I want to get to a more serious story. I

422
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: can't say that this story had a positive ending because

423
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: it's not the right way of saying it. But I

424
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: think that the family of Elijah Wilks, who is the

425
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: man that essentially attacked an off duty mill w police officer,

426
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: they came out and via their attorney, issued a statement

427
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: over the weekend saying that the shooting was justified. One

428
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: of the things that I didn't know since the officer

429
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: was off duty, was is there any video? You know?

430
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: And I didn't know if he was off duty as

431
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: in just leaving work or coming into work er for

432
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: hours away from his shift. But he wasn't in a

433
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: squad car, so there wouldn't be the dash cam, and

434
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: he if he wasn't in uniform, would he have a

435
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: body camera. But there was video out there and it

436
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: did indeed appear to back up most of what the

437
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: original version of the story was. One guy caughts off

438
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: another guy. They get out of the car, they're yelling

439
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: at each other, in Wilkes starts pistol whipping the police

440
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: officer off duty who did have a gun with him,

441
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: and shot and killed him. The family viewed the video

442
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 2: and they said that the use of force by the

443
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: officer was justified. They deserve credit for saying that No.

444
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: It's been suggested that the race of the officer is

445
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: one of the reasons that they reacted that way, But

446
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't buy that. We had a police officer who

447
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: was harassed essentially out of a job, who was in

448
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: African American Joseph Mensa, So I don't think that's the case.

449
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: I think that what you had here is a family

450
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: that saw the video and realized that the guy I

451
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: can't imagine him doing anything like this, lost his temper.

452
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: People can go nuts over some of these fender benders

453
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: and so on, and you know, in the city of

454
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: Milwaukee were driving is so hard and being made harder

455
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: by Chevy Johnson footing his curbs all over the middle

456
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: of the streets. These things happen, and you know, the

457
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: guy overreacted and so on. But if you're smacking somebody

458
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: around with a gun, you have a right to use

459
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: deadly force to kill him, and the officer did. And

460
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: I think the family of Wilkes deserves credit for coming

461
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: out and saying this, because I just know there were

462
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: people in this community that were waiting for them to

463
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: light a match and they chose not to do it,

464
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: and they deserve credit. For that. This is the Mark

465
00:26:52,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: Belling Podcast. This is the Mark Belling Podcast. Bait and switch.

466
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: You've all heard that term, right, I'm not gonna keep

467
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: asking you. Well, you you sort of did I give

468
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: you a correct and your n Indipena and Santa Maria?

469
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: Or did I not? I ruled it correct even though

470
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: you stumbled around in your way of you were like

471
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: a drunk that's walking around in a hallway who you

472
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: know in a hotel and he does actually find his

473
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: hotel room, but he bounced against the sides of the

474
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: wall anyway. Bait and switch, it's a classic marketing scheme.

475
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, you run an ad for something that looks

476
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: really really really really attractive and all of that, and

477
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: then you see that they get person and it's not

478
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: quite the like when you see these produce ads for

479
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: the grocery stores. You never see a banana that's all

480
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: bruised up. You go to the store and off and

481
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: that's what's in there. Paul says that's true of the

482
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: Big Mac as well. It's been such a long time

483
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: since I've ordered a Big Mac. You're saying the Big Mac.

484
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: I always thought the Big Mac look great, But you're

485
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: saying not anymore or does it look great? People take

486
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: that up with Paul Bait and switch. Lake Country Classical Academy.

487
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: When it was announced, it got the support of just

488
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: about all of us on the right. It's a charter school.

489
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: The charter school is a public school, but not run

490
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: by the public school district. It's a hybrid between a

491
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: private school and a public school. The charter school is

492
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: going to be part of the story. Charter school in

493
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: Occonavoy Hillsdale Affiliated. Hillsdale College in Michigan is I'm not

494
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: going to say the most conservative college in the United States,

495
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: but it's the best known conservative college in the United States.

496
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: It has just stood up for American values and conservative

497
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: values and so on. And in particular, the education they

498
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: offer at Hillsdale is a rebellion against all of the

499
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: new fangled education that we see everywhere else. They teach

500
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 2: in the classics, it's a traditional curriculum, high academics and

501
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: so on, and Hillsdale's created a curriculum for below college

502
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: K through twelve. They've created this curriculum and they're offering

503
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: it up to other schools to adopt the Hillsdale curriculum.

504
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: Lake Country Classical Academy when they started up, said that

505
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: they were going to be a Hillsdale affiliated college, meaning

506
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: that they would operate under the principles established by Hillsdale.

507
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: The story was first reported by Wisconsin Right Now after

508
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: a social media post from the family of the child involved.

509
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: When you have a school like this, you're going to

510
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: have a lot of smart kids, and one of them

511
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: and obviously probably a fair number of conservative smart kids.

512
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: You go to a Hillsdale affiliated school for two reasons.

513
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: You don't want a stupid liberal education and be you

514
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: want a good education. She proposes to start a turning

515
00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: Point chapter at Lake County Classical Academy. These things a

516
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: lot of them before Charlie Kirk was killed. They're popping

517
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: up all over. Whether or not the movement lasts or not, again,

518
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we do know that lots and

519
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: lots of young people in the wake of Charlie Kirk's

520
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: assassination are more determined than ever that his message in

521
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: what he stood for, will live on. And there have

522
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: been more. I think the number is more new chapters

523
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: started in the few weeks since his death than were

524
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: in existence before his death. If it's not that it's

525
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: really close student proposed to do one at Lake Huntry

526
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: Class Academy and the school principal turned it down. This

527
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: would be I can't say if you would have just

528
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: mark guess the last guess the most likely school in

529
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: Wisconsin to accept a turning point chapter. It probably be

530
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: that's one. It's founded by Hillsdale. Say, Charlie Kirk did

531
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: not graduate from college famously, but he had a close

532
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: relationship with Hillsdale. They gave him an honorary degree. He

533
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: went over to the to the college several times and spoke.

534
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: He was linked more with Hillsdale than any other college

535
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: or university in the United States of America. The story

536
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: gets better when I think of like the term bait

537
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: and switch. Hey, this is the whole bait and switch

538
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: comes in here that they appealed to conservatives people like

539
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: myself to speak up on behalf of them. They put

540
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: the Hillsdale thing out. But then when it comes time

541
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: to actually let your actions match your words, suddenly you're

542
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: something other than that. You're the same leftist crap that

543
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: rejects these things. Can you think of any other case

544
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: of bait and switch than a victimized They conservatives in

545
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: Wisconsin in the past ten years. I even think I've

546
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: created a verb for it. It's called to be hagadorned.

547
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: Brian Hagudoron ran for the Wisconsin Supreme Court as a conservative.

548
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: He's not been a liberal. He's just not consistently conservative.

549
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: He's somebody who votes with both sides. He's conservative more

550
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: often than not. But he's disappointed a number of conservatives

551
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: in that he wasn't a more solidly conservative vote. And

552
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: when Brian ran for office, I think he created the

553
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: impression that he would be a conservative. He has said

554
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: I only ever said I was going to stand up

555
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: for the rule of law, no matter which way is

556
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: going to go. So in any event, it was he's

557
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: turned out to be disappointing. As it turns out now

558
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: with the conservatives and the majority, he's one of only

559
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: three and probably soon to be two conservative votes left

560
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: in the court, even if it's not always a conservative vote. Nonetheless,

561
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: do you know who the principal of the school is?

562
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: The Lake has wife? I mean as I say they've

563
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: been hagrid arned again. Margaret Haggard Order is the principal

564
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: of the school, and she denied the request. This has

565
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: created an uproar because and this is one of the

566
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: things that happens when it wouldn't have been in the past,

567
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: when obstruct or block a young conservative person like the

568
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: student here. The family's name is Smiley. I'll get to the

569
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: names in a minute. They posted the daughter's mother posted

570
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: on social media about this, and it is angered a

571
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: fair number of conservatives who believe that Lake Country Classical

572
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: Academy is basically just lied via it's marketing about what

573
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: it's about. Now, I'll give you their defense. It's a

574
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: plausible defense, and we'll get to that in a moment.

575
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: But the board of directors of this school, it's like

576
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the cabinet at Scott Walker. It's almost

577
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: all Walker types. In fact, an honorary member of the

578
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: board is Scott Walker. He's listed his honor I don't

579
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: know that means other than they wanted to get his

580
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: infromoderate and his endorsement on there. But and this is

581
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: a good thing. The first person to come out and

582
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: blast this decision is Scott Walker. No, he's not a

583
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: voting member of the board, but he's on there on

584
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: their website and so on, and he's blasted this saying

585
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: that they should have a chapter. But the other members

586
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: of the board, some of them I'll admit that I've

587
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: never heard of, but others that I have came out

588
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 2: of the Walker administration or are sort of out of

589
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: that realm of Wisconsin politics. The board president is Randy Goodsill.

590
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: Georgia Maxwell is the vice president. Georgia Maxwell prominent conservative activist,

591
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: Republican appointing to a state agent. She's still on the board.

592
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: Skyler file. He's a conservative lawyer. He's a guy who

593
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: filed a lawsuit against requiring lawyers to be members of

594
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: the Wisconsin Bar Association. Ellen Nowak again, she's been involved

595
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: in Republican politics forever. She's in the Walker administration. She's

596
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: not the president of America Transmission Company. Tom Brannigan, John

597
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: wu Matthew Bandry. In some cases, I don't know these people,

598
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 2: but of the ones that I've known, they're all conservative people.

599
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: So I'm wondering how the Board of Directors allows this

600
00:34:54,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: to happen. Now, there's a report in Wisconsin right now

601
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: that I linked up to on my x account over

602
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: the weekend that goes into this insignificant detail. The young

603
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: student is well, not that young. She's in high school.

604
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: Katie Smiley is her name. She's the one who wanted

605
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: to start the chapter, and she and her mother are

606
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: standing the ground and are weighing in on this that

607
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: they sought to continue it. In the credit of Scott Walker,

608
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: he posted an X they should absolutely be able to

609
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: have a chapter. We will fight for students to have

610
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: a Turning Point USA or any other conservative group at

611
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 2: their school. Now, Initially, when I heard of this story,

612
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: I wanted, is this a rival over here? Scott Walker

613
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: heads another young adults conservative group, Young Americans Foundation, and

614
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: Turning Points kind of pass them up in terms of

615
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: name recognition and so on. My initial thought was, all

616
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: these Walker affiliated people don't want Turning Point there because

617
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of getting in the way of you. Why

618
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: if that's not true? Scott Walker, to his credit, immediately

619
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: step forward in defense. I've turned Point and the chapter.

620
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: So do you have here an arrogant principle that simply

621
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: screwed the board. I'm gonna do what I want kind

622
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: of a Brian Hagan and I'm gonna you know, the

623
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: rule a lot, et cetera. Now, the defense is this,

624
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: first of all, the principal hag She sent out a

625
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: letter I guess it was a form of evil, but

626
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: a letter to the parents, and it was so obnoxiously condescending.

627
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: It's enough. It's the kind of crap that I know

628
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna get from liberals when people who are conservative

629
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: put this out and it was just filled with condescending.

630
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: At Lake Country Christian Classical Academy, we use the Socratic method, that's,

631
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: you know, teaching by asking questions, the method I use

632
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: here with poor Paul in there, and you know we

633
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: don't we're not activists, et cetera. Now, first of all,

634
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: she's diminishing the teaching capabilities of Turning Point USA. But secondly,

635
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: anybody who's anything about Charlie Kirk, he is the guy

636
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: that used the Socratic method. It's the whole means for

637
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: what they do. Ask people questions to make them think

638
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: about their beliefs and thinking things to you're gonna convert

639
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: them over to the other side because the views that

640
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: they hold, once they realize they can't defend them, they

641
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: realize that they're wrong. It's exactly what Turning Point try

642
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: to do. Now their position is we don't allow and

643
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: we don't allow any of these outside clubs or activities,

644
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: and my favorite one, if you let one in, you

645
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: have to let them all in. I hear people say

646
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: that all the time. No, you don't. If I let

647
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: somebody into my home, it doesn't mean I have to

648
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: let Paul in. No, you don't. Now, the fact that

649
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: they're a charter school puts in a little different category.

650
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 2: If you're a private association, you know, whatever the hell

651
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: you want. Basically, by being a charter school, there is

652
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: a public component to it. And you can make the

653
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: case that they're arguing that this would and they brought

654
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: this up should Does that mean we have to have

655
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: an Antifa chapter. No, it doesn't. But that argument if

656
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: you let one in and you let in the other.

657
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: I just always debug that how many Nazi chapters of

658
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 2: anything do we have anyway? Almost none in any walk

659
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: of life meeting, But we have all sets of other groups.

660
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: Meaning you can say no toe some. But furthermore, there

661
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: was a way of working this out. You could set

662
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: this up in a way in which the chapter is

663
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: like at the school, but maybe not on their website

664
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: or something like that. But secondly, they do have other

665
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: outside groups they deal with. They don't have their own

666
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: independent sports program. They partner with another school for the

667
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: were athletic because the schools are small do not have

668
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: sports teams with enough kids to make a team go.

669
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: They partner with another school out there. So that's an

670
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: outside organization that's in there, and so on. I can't

671
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: try to contact Margaret Haggerer and she has not responded

672
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 2: to me. I can tell you that I did speak

673
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: to data one of the board members, Ellen ellen Nowek,

674
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: and she indicated to me that there's going to be

675
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: a board meeting Wednesday night, and she said she's very

676
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: optimistic that there will be a positive resolution of this. Well,

677
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: I hope so. But the bigger problem here, and it's

678
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: just it's always the problem, and I've explained it with

679
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: regard to the news media and many other things. When

680
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: you try to and I talked about in another group,

681
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: you know, the drift of conservative organizations. You start something conservative,

682
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: but eventually the people that are involved aren't that conservative

683
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: and they drift off to the other side. This will

684
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: handled terribly by the principle the letter that she said, oh,

685
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 2: it was obnoxious. She didn't make any attempt whatsoever to

686
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: accommodate or work with the board better understand that if

687
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: these are the people that you hire or run your school,

688
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: you are never going to live up to the principles

689
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: that you claim that you were going to live by,

690
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 2: which is the Hillsdale principles. As I say that there

691
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: was a way to deal with this, but the principle

692
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: has not herself backed out, meaning she could have shown

693
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: the initiative to do so, she could speak in a

694
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: less insulting turn, but she didn't. And the reason EVER

695
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 2: got the whole bait and switch is there's lefty schools

696
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: that do lefty crap all the time. I complain about it,

697
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: bot what do you expect. I supported on my program

698
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: this school when it was proposed, and I said it

699
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: was a great thing that it was going to happen.

700
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: If I go out there and give you my endorsement

701
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: and then you turn around and you'd be the same

702
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: stink job that every other public school is out there,

703
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 2: I do resent it. I'm going to quote the letter

704
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 2: from the principal, Margaret Hagito, and this is what she

705
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 2: said on on Friday and attempt to knock down this story, which,

706
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: of course it's like knocking down a fire by throwing

707
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: gasoline on it, Dear Lake Country Classical Academy community, There

708
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 2: has been some confusion on social media today about school

709
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: sanctioned clubs at LCCA. With this in mind, we are

710
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 2: an active conversation with Turning Point USA. It is clear

711
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 2: that we have a lot of common ground. We respect

712
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: tpusa's mission and apply our own club policy consistently similar

713
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: to TPUSA. Classical education is an antidote to trends in

714
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: coeducation and education that emphasize political activism over reason debate.

715
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: If t us TPUSA, that's Turning Put USA, we're to visit.

716
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: We hope they would appreciate the honest, open, socratic discussion

717
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: and civil debates that are a hallmark of a classical education.

718
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: And oh condescend well if they come and like they're

719
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: supposed to come in and bowance, scrape in front of you,

720
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: and that appreciate shut up and that our LCCA students

721
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: have in the classrooms every day since its founding, LCCA

722
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: has not approved student clubs affiliated with outside political or

723
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: religious organizations. Our position, which is consistent with Hillsdale's guidance

724
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: and reflection in our Family Handbook, which refers to extracurricular

725
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: clubs as in Richmond classes and states. The school may

726
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: sponsor a number of student enrichment classes that enhance the

727
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: curriculum of the school, and in keeping with the school's mission,

728
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: the school will not sponsor enrichment classes that are open

729
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: to only parts of the student body, including classes for

730
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 2: students who with particular religious or political views. All enrichment

731
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: classes must be appreciated by it, must be approved of

732
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: the principle, and have an active faculty sponsor. Mean it,

733
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: it's hard to imagine any group that wouldn't have some

734
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: type of political view. It's impossible at some level you're

735
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: going to have this. But beyond that, when they call

736
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: themselves a Hillsdale approved curriculum and they state the type

737
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: of edgy, that's a political statement in and of itself,

738
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: and it would seem to me the turning quite perfectly

739
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: aligns with their mission. To be clear, LCCA has not

740
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 2: and does not discriminate against anyone based on their views.

741
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: The suggestion that a proposed TPUSA student club was rejected

742
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: due to its viewpoint is completely false. I consider that

743
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: statement to essentially be I won't say a lie, dishonest.

744
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 2: It is because of their views. You've described them as

745
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 2: a political orgation. So that means it's because they have views.

746
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: You may say it's you know, I would have said

747
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: the same thing to a liberal group as our conservative,

748
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: But don't say it's not because of their views, because

749
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: their views are that they steal in an educational context,

750
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 2: but from a conservative and for that matter, Christian perspective.

751
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: I hope the board works this out, and I hope

752
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: the board understands that it has a problem with its administration.

753
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: As I say, we have enough trouble trying to stop

754
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: public schools from being leftist hell holes. We need to

755
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: make sure that the alternatives that are created too this

756
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: the parents are sending there because they're specifically looking for,

757
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: not that other thing. On a somewhat related topic, I

758
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 2: want to follow up on a discussion from last week.

759
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 2: I commented on Wisconsin Institute of Law and Liberty filing

760
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,479
Speaker 2: a lawsuit aimed at stopping a provision of the current

761
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: state budget that provides funding for additional prosecutors in Milwaukee

762
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: and potentially walk A, Shaw County. Will not will excuse

763
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: me wrong, Yeah, Well made the statement that, well, the

764
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: state law doesn't allow this diversion of funds for prosecutors.

765
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: The money's got to go into a fund for schools

766
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 2: and libraries. My retort to that is, the state budget

767
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: diverts funds from things all over the place. Why are

768
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: you diverting one of the things that actually addresses a

769
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: law and order problem that we have. Can't you pick

770
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: your spots. At the time of the last podcast, I

771
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: had not gotten a response from Rickysenberg, who runs WILL.

772
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 2: When again, I see this is a very good organization WILL,

773
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to stop them from drifting off and

774
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: being the same you know crap. Okay, we'll do one

775
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 2: for the lefties here to show that we're you know,

776
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: he gave me a lengthy response, and in fairness to them,

777
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: I want to share a portion of it. I don't

778
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: think he addresses a single one of my points, but

779
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: I'll read it anyway. I know about progressive public interest

780
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: law firms. We've been beating them for years. I understand

781
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: your contention about nonprofits becoming less conservative. It's a version

782
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 2: of O'Sullivan's first law from National Review back in day,

783
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: and I've had it in mind for a long while that,

784
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: by the way, that was the law. Any organization that

785
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: isn't a version of any organization that isn't specifically conservative, isn't.

786
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: I didn't state it correctly, But if you're not going

787
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: to be conservative, you're just going to drift off and

788
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: become something else continuing. Sometimes that does happen, just as

789
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: more recently some conservative organizations have abandoned conservatism for populism.

790
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 2: But it would be absurd to say that WILL has

791
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: shifting priorities or is no longer conservative. I can I

792
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: didn't say they were no longer conservative. I said I

793
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: was concerned about the drift. I can go through the drill.

794
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 2: Wisconsin opened during pandemic. Wisconsin opened during pandemic because we

795
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: and others brought lawsuits that insisted on the rule that

796
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: rule of law tripe. We got the definition court, We

797
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: got the definitive court order that prevented the Biden administration

798
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: from giving away fourteen billion dollars based on race and gender.

799
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: We got a restraining round, and they go through a

800
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: number of other cases. All good, and I repeatedly praised

801
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: them for doing all of this because there's nobody else

802
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: said to do it. And they go on a number.

803
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 2: Then he continues, I could do pages of this stuff.

804
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: I don't mind if people disagree with our choice of

805
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: a particular case. But the idea that Will is not

806
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: conservative or has shifting priorities is false. Again, I said,

807
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: I feared that there was drift here. My fear is

808
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 2: that this is a sign that they won't be conservative

809
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: and say that they didn't. I appreciate your larger point,

810
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: but trying to fit us it does not work. And

811
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: then he went through all the reasons again, nitpicking, why

812
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to be able to do this under

813
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: the law, so forth, so forth, and so on and again.

814
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: My question here is just a matter of priorities, whether

815
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: or not you figure the belief that the law was

816
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 2: violated or not. We're actually spending public money in Milwaukee

817
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 2: on something that isn't stupid for once, and I would

818
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: much rather that you devote your clearly limited resources. You

819
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 2: only have so much money on staff on all of

820
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 2: the idiotic uses of funds that fits in the stupidity category.

821
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: Let me move to this story. We've got another one

822
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: of these cases dealing with a public employee and the

823
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: residency rule. In this instance, the person who was elected

824
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: the municipal judge in South Milwaukee is turning in her

825
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: resignation after an investigation into whether or not when she

826
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: ran for office she didn't live in South Milwaukee. Now

827
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 2: the evidence against her is strong, depending on your point

828
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: of view. Her name is Kelly Martinka, she's married to

829
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 2: a police officer. That police officer and applying for a

830
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: job in another community stated his residence as received. The

831
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: Martinkas presumably are still living together. It's not a divorce

832
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: filing or anything. If he lives in Racene, didn't that

833
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: mean that she lived in Recene. When you run for

834
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 2: public office, you do not have to be a resident

835
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: of that community, but you have to move into that

836
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: community after being elected. But here's the thing. On her

837
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: nominating petition she listed South Milwaukee. So when she ran

838
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: for office, you have to sign petition and signatures to

839
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: get on the ballot. She stated South Milwaukee. And the

840
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: question is whether or not this was a false statement

841
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: about her residence, given the fact that her husband at

842
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: the same time was claiming to live and Racide. Martenka

843
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: is saying she won by thirty six votes. Who is

844
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 2: a close election. Martenka is resigning, saying she doesn't believe

845
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: that she did anything wrong, but she wants to end

846
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: the controversy, so forth, and so on. Now to this

847
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: story here. We discussed last week for a different reason,

848
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 2: the proposed garbage fee in the City of Wakashaw. They're

849
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 2: going to charge all property owners one hundred and sixty

850
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: dollars a year to collect the garbage and take the

851
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: garbage out of the property out of the city budget.

852
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: It's going to still be in the city budget, but

853
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 2: it will not be covered by property taxes. Here's why

854
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 2: communities do this. You see this all over the place.

855
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: In Milwaukee is the master of it. Take a city

856
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: service and put people on a special expert charge for

857
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: that so you can take it out of your general

858
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,439
Speaker 2: property tax budget. It allows you to tax people more

859
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: than the state limit. State law. Currently, the Supreme Court

860
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 2: is not a return to it yet. They'll get to it,

861
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: partly in Act ten and partly in the revenue limits.

862
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: They limit the amount of money that a city can

863
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 2: raise your taxes every year. So in order to get

864
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: around that, they're creating all of these fees. And in

865
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: Waukeshaw they're creating this garbage fee. The vote on the

866
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 2: city council to who it was nine to five. Here's

867
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: why I bring this up one of the nine. One

868
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 2: of the people who decided that Walker Straw isn't tax

869
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 2: enough just declared her candidacy for mayor. Walkshaw is of

870
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 2: all the cities in Waukeshaw County, it may be the

871
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: least Republican, but it's still Republican. For instance, the president's election,

872
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: Burkefield is getting close to Trump carried the city. It's

873
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 2: still more Republican the Democrat. But they keep electing lefty mayors.

874
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 2: The current mayors are lefty. The predecessor Mayor, Larry Nelson,

875
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: was an even bigger lefty. And now they're gonna have

876
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: a new election because currently or as I say, I

877
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: describe him as a left he maybe more accurately he's

878
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 2: a moderate, but he's not a conservative, and he's not

879
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: a Republican. And he's supported Kamala Harris a president. Now

880
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 2: here's one of Belling's rules. It doesn't hold all the time.

881
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 2: It just holds almost all the time. No matter where

882
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: a community is really liberal, really conservative, in between the

883
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: city leader of the community, the village president of the

884
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 2: mayor or whatever the title is almost always more liberal

885
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 2: than the community. I didn't say always, I said almost

886
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: so just grab whatever city it is, and the mayor

887
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: is going to tandem BRIT's case in Brookfield, It's been

888
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: the case in Waukesha. It's certainly been the case in

889
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 2: o'conhom Walk, where they've had a Democrat running for mayor,

890
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: and they've got their own mayoral election too. That Democrat, Mangus,

891
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: is not running for reelection anyway. They're gonna have a

892
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: choice here, Scott Allen, who's a member of the State

893
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: Assembly and is conservative. He's in fact, he might be

894
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 2: more conservative than me. He's a conservative guy. He's running

895
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: for mayor. And this raised the garbage fee because we

896
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: aren't taxing you enough. Helven Seben. And I don't know

897
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 2: if I pronounced that correctly. Helvin Seben, I believe is

898
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 2: how I pronounce the name. She's the opponent. So I

899
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: don't know who's going to win the election. But I

900
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: can tell you is that there is a long history

901
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: of communities electing mayors that are to the left of

902
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 2: the populace of the city, and it's one of the

903
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: reasons why they somehow never seem to be able to

904
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: figure out ways to cut the city budget. I would

905
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: argue that the first place to start is to get

906
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 2: rid of the city administrator. They have a full time

907
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: mayor at Waka Shaw. You do not need to have

908
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: a city administrator who's full time and a mayor who's

909
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: full time. And most cities that have full time mayors

910
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: don't have. Milwaukee doesn't even have a city administrator. It's duplicative,

911
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: and it's a sign of a mayor that simply it

912
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: is too lazy to do the job of running the

913
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: agencies underneath the mayor. You can have a chief of

914
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: staff and all of that stuff that is similar, but

915
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 2: the pay for chiefs of staff is never as high

916
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: as city administrators. I've covered a lot of territory on

917
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: this program today. Don't you think I've covered a lot

918
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 2: of territory. But I've got one more Walgreens. I've driven

919
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 2: past Walgreens corporate headquarters, I bet at least nine hundred times,

920
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: except not much of the corporate headquarters is in there anymore.

921
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 2: They're in Deerfield, Illinois, and it's right on I ninety four,

922
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: real close to where I ninety four splits where if

923
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: you go, I want to get my numbers right. If

924
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 2: you go one way, you're heading toward downtown Chicago and

925
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: onto the Edens, and the other way is taking you west.

926
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: In any event, it's right around where it splits, kind

927
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: of near Lake Cook Road for those of you who

928
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: know that area. They've got other office building. That's the

929
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 2: Corporate d Quotas they made with great fanfare a decade ago. However,

930
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 2: they were going to move into the old downtown Chicago

931
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 2: Post Office. The post office moved out, but that building

932
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: is famous. It's in downtown. I think it's the one

933
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: where they shot the shooting scene from The Untouchables. I

934
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 2: might be wrong about that, but I think so. It's

935
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: a big, famous building in the Lower Loop of Chicago.

936
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: Walgreens has announced that it is pulling out of that

937
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 2: building in Chicago, even though it has six years left

938
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 2: on the lease. It doesn't take a genius to figure

939
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: why they're getting the hell out of downtown Chicago and

940
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna move it all back to the suburbs. Leftist

941
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 2: cities are killing themselves. That's hundreds of jobs. Now. My

942
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 2: guess is that a lot of those employees lived in

943
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 2: the suburbs and were commuting into the city on the

944
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 2: trains on the systems that they have in Chicago and

945
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 2: so on, and they're relieved by this. But remember why

946
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 2: all of this started ten years ago at the same thing,

947
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: the millennial generation wanted to live in cities and wanted

948
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: to live downtown. You saw the same thing in Milwaukee.

949
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: A number of businesses that were out in the suburbs

950
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 2: moved to the city. Most famous example Northwestern. It's shutting

951
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 2: everything down in the Franklin campus and they're building new

952
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 2: buildings in Milwaukee. A lot of the employees younger would

953
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: rather work in cities than in the suburbs. And that

954
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: works until the city becomes a crime and fested hell hole.

955
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: When you become San Francisco, nobody wants to work there

956
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 2: when you want it. When you become Portland, nobody normal

957
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 2: wants to work there. And when you become Chicago. The

958
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: great strength of Chicago is that it had this incredibly

959
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 2: vibrant downtown. They're killing it. Sadly, they'll never learn. If

960
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 2: they were going to learn, they would have learned by now.

961
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: They'll never learn. You in there, you may learn. I

962
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: drill this into your head every day. I use the

963
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk method. I knew right and left you what

964
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: you mean you've learned You've just not learned at a

965
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 2: fast enough pace for me. By the way, I uh

966
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: lost my football picked by half a point. I knew

967
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna lose. But the reason I feel confident

968
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 2: my picks this year, I couldn't just couldn't find a

969
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 2: good game that I liked. And in fact, in full disclosure,

970
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 2: if I would have had a backup game, it would

971
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 2: have been an even worse loss. I would have taken

972
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 2: Detroit over Kansas City, and Kansas City slaughtered them. So

973
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: it's not like if only I picked the other game

974
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 2: and so on. But the thing that has to be

975
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 2: confident is even when I lost, it was only by

976
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: a half point, and the team that beat me scored

977
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 2: in the last forty five seconds or so of the

978
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 2: game to do So what about those Brewers? Should we

979
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: talk about them? All right? That's next on the Markedlling podcast.

980
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast. Now we do this podcast,

981
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: and I recognize that many people listen to podcasts well

982
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: after the fact. We're doing this on Monday afternoon, is

983
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: before several hours before the Brewers played Game one of

984
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 2: the National League Championship Series with the Dodgers. So I'm

985
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 2: speaking only about events that occurred prior to that. The

986
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: Brewers over the weekend finish off the Cubs in really

987
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 2: dramatic five game series, winning in Milwaukee three to one

988
00:55:53,920 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: with outstanding pitching, all by young pitchers, and all but

989
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 2: two of them pitchers that were not on the roster

990
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season. The pitchers that started and

991
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 2: ended the game were the two best relievers at the

992
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 2: beginning of the year. Even the starter kind of functioned

993
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: as a reliever. McGill and then Abnery Revit. The other

994
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: guys were younger players. Chad Patrick was called up right

995
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season, but was sent down

996
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: as a starter for an effectiveness and was clearly the

997
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 2: key player in the game. The Cubs had one rally

998
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 2: going in that game. Chad came on the first and

999
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 2: second and went out in the sixth inning end got

1000
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 2: out of it ing got out of it by retiring

1001
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: the first guy retired as Suzuki who just killed the Brewers.

1002
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 2: In any event, the Brewers did dispatch the Cub's end.

1003
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: I mean when the game was over, ipes for a

1004
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 2: second unsure so what it is to do, because I

1005
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: don't know what to do after clinching games, because the

1006
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 2: Breweries going into that game were three and ten in

1007
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: clinching games in the postseason. The Brewers had not won

1008
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: a playoff series since twenty eighteen, which doesn't sound so

1009
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: bad until you remember the Brewers always make the playoffs

1010
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 2: for most games, you know, you make it once every

1011
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: three or four years, that would be the norm. The

1012
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: Brewers made it seven of the last eight years. And

1013
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 2: the knock just is for one reason or another, they

1014
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: get knocked out, and several instances they were heartbreaking, they

1015
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 2: close and so on, and in this case it kind

1016
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: of reversed itself. But there was just this explosion of

1017
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 2: euphouria that you just sensed from everyone over the whole thing.

1018
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 2: We finally won one again. This comment will be dated

1019
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 2: for any of you who listen more than a few

1020
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 2: hours later, but I just think beating the Dodgers is

1021
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 2: going to be borderline impossible. If you follow my comments

1022
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 2: in baseball over the years, I focus almost entirely on

1023
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: pitching and not on anything else. And the Dodgers' weakness

1024
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 2: all year was depth, and they're starting pitching. But in

1025
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 2: the postseason, you don't need depth. You need three good

1026
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: starting pitchers and you can cobble together a fourth game

1027
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: if you need one. With the bullpen and the Dodgers,

1028
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 2: what happened with Blake Snell in the final weeks of

1029
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 2: the season. He's just become an extremely good pitch and

1030
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 2: they didn't have that for most of the year. Otani

1031
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 2: is probably at best at number three or four starter.

1032
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: They're just more deep in pitching, and the Brewers starting

1033
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 2: pitching is right now the weakness of the team. It

1034
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: was their strength all season. But as I say speak

1035
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: here on Monday, the Brewers just don't know who to

1036
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 2: start tonight. It's thought to be it's going to be

1037
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 2: both Josekantana and Quinn Priester, and they're trying to decide

1038
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: who's going to go first and who's going to go

1039
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 2: second and try to squeeze two or three innings out

1040
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 2: of each of them. Kantana's badly banged up and Priester

1041
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: was shelled in his most recent start. Freddy Peralta has

1042
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: not been sharp in his starts, and it's just hard

1043
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 2: to see surviving this and cobbling together all of these

1044
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 2: bullpen games. The Brewers have made only one roster change.

1045
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: You are allowed to change your roster after each series.

1046
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: You can change it during a series, but the only

1047
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 2: roster change again is to reflect this situation with pitching

1048
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 2: Tobias Myers, who mostly has been in the miners, but

1049
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 2: otherwise when a Brewer starter has been added to the

1050
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: postseason roster and Nick Miers has been boos. And that's

1051
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: simply a function of they need guys who can Let's

1052
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: imagine you fall behind God forbid eight to one in

1053
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 2: the third inning, you still need to cover those seven

1054
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: innings of pitching. They haven't got Robert Gosser to do that.

1055
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 2: Got You need to have somebody to go multiple innings

1056
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: because you just don't want to burn up your pitchers.

1057
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: You really really need in a game that if not

1058
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: a loss cause you're way behind on you need guys

1059
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: that can eat some innings up in a longer series

1060
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 2: and hopefully even pitch effectively. But the rulers are just

1061
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 2: loaded to the guys that can go one inning, and

1062
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: I think that's the reason that they made that shift.

1063
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: There's no indication Brandon would have can play. Even in

1064
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 2: the World Series. They have not put them on the

1065
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 2: sixty day injured list, so that means they're holding out

1066
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 2: hope that maybe for a World Series. But from what

1067
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 2: I hear, he wasn't close to being able to be

1068
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 2: added to the roster here that he's not even really

1069
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: thrown off a mound or anything like that. But they're

1070
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: they can just rule it out and put them on

1071
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,919
Speaker 2: a sixty day injured list. But since the season's sport

1072
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: an end, you know, what's the point of that. So

1073
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 2: there's still perhaps some hope of that. Dodgers lineup's really good.

1074
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: It's even better in terms of hitting. The Cubs lineup.

1075
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: The Brewers, on the other hand, scrap out runs. Interestingly,

1076
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: they won the final game three to one on three

1077
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: home runs. That's not the norm by which they win

1078
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 2: in the postseason. Home runs tend to be the way

1079
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: the teams score rather than scrapping them out. So I

1080
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: just the big bread that I had was getting knocked

1081
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 2: out by the Cubs, and it's just because of the

1082
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 2: insufferability of Cubs fans. And it was the same thing

1083
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: and just proof of this. Apparently the Brewers puts on

1084
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: social media or something. You know, the Cubs have this

1085
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: flag they fly at Ridley after everyone in w The

1086
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 2: Brewers on their website put an l flag. The Cubs

1087
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: fans are ballistic. I mean that is the mildest, softest,

1088
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 2: nicest little tweak that you can imagine. They're like liberals.

1089
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: They can dish it out and they can't take anything.

1090
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 2: I know what it would have been like, we lost

1091
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 2: this game. So they won, and let's see what they

1092
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: can do from here on out. The other problem, of course,

1093
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 2: is just when you have to use just about everybody

1094
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 2: in Game five and you play two days later, it's

1095
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: an advantage for the team greater rest. They can reset

1096
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: their pitching staff, the Dodgers and so on. But part

1097
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: of that is the Dodgers finish their series off in

1098
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 2: four games and the Brewers needed the five, so they

1099
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 2: get that reward off of that. At least for the

1100
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 2: Brewers by having home field, they get to stay home

1101
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: and don't have to get on a plane and waste

1102
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: a day on all of that. But there's only four

1103
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 2: teams that are in it, and we're one of them,

1104
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: and that's a good thing. We'll save comments on our

1105
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 2: other sports teams for another time. Anyway, that's it for

1106
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: today's podcast. Why don't you cobble together a thousand dollars

1107
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: and go to a game? No, it's more fun to

1108
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 2: be there. It's more fun to be there checking the

1109
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 2: ticket prices and so on. What struck me is there

1110
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 2: isn't the normal gap in which it's usually almost free

1111
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: to sit in the corner of the up deck a

1112
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: very expensive. The gap is it's not insanely expensive with

1113
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: a great seat and really cheap for the bad seat.

1114
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 2: The range is closer together if you want to be

1115
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: in the wall part right.
