I mean, 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say he's like those poor Israelis 7 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: in October of last year, but I think there's all 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: signs that Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, is a 9 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 2: victim of terrorism.

Visit you line dot com. 19 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer's classic old bull democrat been around forever. Politically, 20 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: He's never shown any real signs of radicalism. It's just 21 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: a typical dope in New York lefty, and he's knowing 22 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: to work the process forever and ever and ever. But 23 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, here's Chuck Schumer doing something that 24 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: politically is stupid. Governmentally is stupid, shutting down the government 25 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: by putting out demands that he knows President Trump is 26 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: never going to cave to. There's no way that Trump 27 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: is going to sign legislation the guarantees free health care 28 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: to ill legal aliens. When you make a guarantee that 29 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 2: you know, rather a demand that you know the other 30 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: side can't accede to, that means you don't want them 31 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: to reach a deal. Yet it's clearly not in the 32 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: best interests of the Democrats for this government shutdown to 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: go on. So what's happening here? I think Chuck Schumer's 34 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: being I won't say blackmailed, but extorted. He is terrified 35 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: of the left wing of his party, and so is 36 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: the entire Democratic establishment. Back in March, we were at 37 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: the same point with regard to a government shutdown, and 38 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: Schumer cut a deal with Trump and the Republicans, and 39 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: we went forward and the left eviscerated him. Chuck Schumer's 40 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: in New York State. He's up for reelection next year. 41 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: There's very little chance of Republicans could beat him, but 42 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: he could lose a Democratic primary. He could lose it 43 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: to AOC, and AOC's making it clear, we've got to 44 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: demand all of these things, and we make no deals 45 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: with Trump. Well we don't have We can't not shut 46 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: down the government nless there's a deal. Chuck Schumer is 47 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: afraid to make a deal. He's afraid to take a 48 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: reasonable position because they're the establishment of the Democratic Party 49 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: is terrified of their left. This is kind of a 50 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: new thing for them. You go back to just consider 51 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: who the mainstream Democrats are. Biden's a bad example because 52 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: we just don't know what Joe Biden would have done 53 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: had he not been mentally enfeebled. If Joe Biden, and 54 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden was never sharp at the top of his game. 55 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: When you think of the old Joe Biden that was 56 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: in the Senate for all of those years and so on, 57 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: he was a moderate to liberal Democrat. If he had 58 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: that mental capacity, would he have rolled over to the 59 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: radicals who said, don't enforce the border all. We don't know. 60 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: We don't know if he would have been as intimidated 61 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: or not. I have my own theory that he had 62 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: his own form of extortion that the Democrats were essentially 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: telling them, Look, Joe, all this crap that you did 64 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: with Ukraine, in which Hunter was making all this money 65 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: in Brisbane, how did you go from barely won't being 66 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: able to pay for one house they having three houses, 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: including a beach house in Rehoboth Beef Beach. We're gonna 68 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: expose out now. Maybe he would have had to do 69 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: this anyway, but again it wouldn't have been willingly. The 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: left wing of the Democratic Party is Marxist. Mamdani essentially 71 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: admits to being Marxist. That's where this party is, and 72 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: they aren't particularly interested in doing anything that's all that smart. 73 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: The way this thing plays out, Trump pulls all the cards. 74 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: Most of the agencies of the government that are shut 75 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: down right now are not exactly things that Republican voters love. 76 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: Some do you know you apply for Like they're talking 77 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: about replacement Medicare card, Well, you're not going to get one. 78 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: That's not an essential service to the government at shutdown. 79 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: But most of the things that you really really need 80 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: to go on are still going on. But More importantly 81 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: than that, there is this rustvouthdreat that's out there. We'll 82 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: get to that in a moment. This is JD. Van's 83 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is terrified he's going to get a primary 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: challenge from AOC. The reason why the American People's government 85 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: is shut down is because Chuck Schumer is listening to 86 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: the fire left radicals in his own party because he's 87 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: terrified of a primary challenge. No, let's advance that. Why 88 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: would Chuck Schumer be so afraid of having to run 89 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: against AOC. Even in a state like New York, where 90 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Trump did much better in twenty four than he did 91 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: in twenty or sixteen. A lot of the moderate voters 92 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: have given up on the Democrats and they're over on 93 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: the Republican side. All that's left for Democratic voters is 94 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: left wingers. Schumer took a look and while New York 95 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: State is a big state geographically, the huge population base 96 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: of Democratic voters is in New York City. And Schumer 97 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: saw what happened in the New York Democratic primary. You've 98 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: got a communist running in Mamdani and he won. Beg Well, 99 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: those are the same people that are going to vote 100 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: in a Democratic primary. You're seeing this all over Democrats 101 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: that have had a history in the past not being reasonable, 102 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: being somewhat pragmatic, or at least not out and out Marxist. 103 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: Durbin's another one. They're all caving in, and they're all 104 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: rolling over to their left wing fridge. The problem that 105 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 2: they have here is the Trump and this version of 106 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: Republicans is simply smarter at dealing with this stuff generally speaking. 107 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: Yet a government shutdown, you bully around the media, is 108 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: just going to do the Democrats bidding for him, and 109 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: the Republicans are the ones that are on the defensive. 110 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: The Democrats strategy on all of this was to make 111 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: the shutdown about health care, that we're doing this in 112 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: order to get better health care for the American people. 113 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: But Trump flipped the script. He's made it what their 114 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: own demand is. He's made it about free health care 115 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: for illegal aliens. And he did it because that was 116 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: their demand. Now why did the Democrats demand something so stupid? A, 117 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: Their radical base wants it, but b they didn't want 118 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: a deal. They had to put something out there that 119 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: Trump wouldn't take because if Trump would have agreed to 120 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: whatever it was, then the Democrat base. The lefties would 121 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: have simply said, look, there you are cutting a deal 122 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: with Trump again. So they had to put a deal 123 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: breaker out there. But Trump has been very successful at 124 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: articulating this next point. There's a report from a poster 125 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: on X that goes by the handle Wall Street Apes. 126 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: That person reports the desiret Townsend, who's a big lobbyist 127 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: in DC. Lefty, spoke with members of Congress and according 128 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: to Townsend, and this makes sense, why are Democrats really 129 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: fighting for illegal health for health care for illegal immigrants? 130 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: There is an actual reason for it beyond simply not 131 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: having a deal. You take a state like California, in 132 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: which a huge percentage of the population is illegal immigrants. 133 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: If the government isn't paying for that healthcare, that's a 134 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: massive blow to the healthcare industry in California, which is 135 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: by the way, entirely leftist. The illegals don't have enough 136 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: money to pay for their own health care, so if 137 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: the government doesn't pay for it, that's somebody that isn't 138 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: going to get paid. And in some of these states 139 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: it's a huge segment of the overall marketplace. In the meantime, 140 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: let's get back to Rusbaud, Big story on the Wall 141 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: Street Journal. He's Trump's director of O and B. He's 142 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: been plotting this, according to the story, for years. He's 143 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: one of the few that was in Trump's first term 144 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: that are the same level of competence as the others 145 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: that are here in term number two. Given the fact 146 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: that the government right now does not have funding authorization, 147 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: it appears as though Trump can cancel any program that 148 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: he wants. We went through this earlier in the week, 149 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: but I want to cover it a little bit more here. 150 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: Trump believes that even if money is appropriated, he doesn't 151 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: have to spend it. He believes that in appro propriation 152 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: really means you can't spend more than that amount. But 153 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 2: if they appropriate, just grab around number of billion dollars 154 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: to something, you know, I don't have to spend a billion. 155 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: I can spend eight hundred billion if I want. This 156 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: is being challenged in courts, But here's something that's I 157 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: think less debatable. If there isn't an appropriation, that means 158 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: that Trump doesn't have to allow the program to exist 159 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 2: at all. He can not reduce the spending. He can 160 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: zero it out because it's not appropriated. It Right now, 161 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: the government isn't appropriated other than the so called essential 162 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: agencies that are operating. I want to quote from again 163 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: the most journal story at it very very lengthy, and 164 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: I can't read the whole thing, but it's quite interesting 165 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: that the strategy that Vout has come up with. Russell 166 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: Vaud has been planning this move for this moment for years. 167 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: President Trump's budget chief, one of the main players in 168 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: the government shutdown that has ground Washington to a halt, 169 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: might also be one of its biggest beneficiaries. As the 170 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: free he this gives him the opportunity to implement funding 171 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: cuts he has long advocated. Vout, director of the White 172 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: House Office of Management and Budget, was quick Wednesday yesterday 173 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: to target Democratic priorities and projects in a move that 174 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: affected Democratic congressional leaders from New York Senator, Senate Minority 175 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Vout 176 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: posted on the X that a hold had been placed 177 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: on eighteen billion dollars in federal funds for New York 178 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: City infrastructure work, a Hudson River tunnel project and a 179 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: subway extension. The Transportation Department pinned the blame on the 180 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: shutdown saying a review of the project's contracting policies and 181 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: their relationship to diversity, equity and inclusion requirements couldn't move 182 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: forward without a budget. The Department has been forced to 183 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: furlough the civil rights staff responsible for conducting this review, 184 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: The agency said in a savement. So you see what 185 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: Foul is doing here. See what he's doing is he's 186 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: playing hardball the way the lefties have. Okay, we got 187 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: a shutdown. We just don't have money to pay the 188 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: DEI people. That this contract requires New York contract on 189 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: the tunnel on the hudset, of course, says DEI components 190 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: in it. So we don't have the money to pay 191 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: for the civil rights people this right now, So the 192 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,119 Speaker 2: contract gotta throw. We got to ax can the contract 193 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: this project the Hudson of Ever, it's important basically to 194 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 2: New Jersey and New York, and the Democrats have managed 195 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: to choose both of their congressional leaders both in the 196 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: House and set aside from New York and the de 197 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: facto a leader of the Congress AOC, is also from 198 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: New York. You just can't imagine an earlier Republican administration 199 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 2: doing this. Continuing, Foud also posted more than eight billion 200 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: dollars in Energy Department funds for climate projects would be 201 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: canceled in more than a dozen Democratic leading states, leading states. 202 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: He didn't specify which projects would be affected. The story 203 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: goes on. Now, you may wonder why in the world, 204 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: with the Democrats, knowing that they're far more dependent on 205 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: all of these programs already appropriated to the Republicans, why 206 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: would they give Trump the legal ability to cancel this. 207 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: And here's the answer. I think Schumer knows that. He 208 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: said back in March, we can't shut down the government. 209 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: Look what Trump's gonna do. But then after they didn't 210 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: shut down the government, the lefties all, what nuts, you 211 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: gotta fight Trump, You gotta fight Trump, you gotta fight Trump. 212 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: I do not believe Schumer wants to do this. He's 213 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: being terrorized by the left wing of his party. And 214 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: that's why I use this line that he's a terror victim. 215 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: He's being forced to do things that he knows are 216 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: stupid because his political survival depends on it. In the meantime, 217 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: the pr wars going on again, you're seeing from Trump 218 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: a willingness to do things that just would not have 219 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: been done in the past. So they did this parody 220 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 2: video like these memes. It was a couple of days ago. 221 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: And when they've got the two Democratic leaders, Schumer and Jeffries, 222 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: and they've got like a Mexican hat and a mariachi 223 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 2: song being played as they have Schumer saying a bunch 224 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: of things that he didn't say. It was hilarious, a caeme. 225 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: Jeffries immediately ran to MSNBC. He's going us, this is racist. 226 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: This is racist. This is racist. This is racist. Most people, 227 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: it's kind of other than the people on the left. 228 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: Most of America is just done with all of that. 229 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: It's racist, it's racist, it's racist. So Trump doubled out. 230 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: They have a new meme out today. It's another mariachi 231 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: band and the lyrics go meme them until they cry. 232 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: They make memes about them crying. In other words, now 233 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: they have a meme showing them crying because they were 234 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: made fun of in the first one. Again, this is 235 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: something Republicans have never done, and in the past maybe 236 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: you would not have been able to get away with it. 237 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: But there's been such a backlash against all of this 238 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: PCBs that Trump is now able to do it. Of course, 239 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: of course, would not have never have done it. You know, 240 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: I think that this pretty much started when you got somebody, 241 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: you know of the fake Indian, Elizabeth Warre, and she 242 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: claims she was Cherokee, and Trump started calling her Pocahontas. 243 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: This goes back ten years. Trump's the president still despite 244 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: the fact that he keeps calling her Pocahontas. It's not racist. 245 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: She's the racist. She's the one that culturally appropriated something 246 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: that she isn't. She's not an Indian. Now. The King Report, 247 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: which is a news service aggregator, makes a very good 248 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: point about this. You can go back sixty years, maybe longer, 249 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: and it's always been the left making fun of Republicans. 250 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: They cite they go back to the National Lampoon used 251 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: to call Spiro Agnew. You remember Spiro Agnew? You remember that? 252 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: You don't even remember who he was? Who was he? 253 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: He was? 254 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: He? 255 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: What is? What was he. 256 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: Was? He? Yeah? 257 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: He was with Nixon. He was the vice President of 258 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: the United States, forced to resign. He was a crook. 259 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: He was taking bribes when he was the governor Maryland. 260 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: They called him sphincter t Agnew. So the left'sman dishing 261 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: this stuff out for sixty years and finally you have 262 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: the right dishing it back and the lefties, as I've 263 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: said forever, I mean, as long as I'm doing my 264 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: radio said, the left condish it out. They can't take it. 265 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: We on the right have to be able to take it. 266 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: Otherwise we'd have to just drop out of the game 267 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: because they're constantly ridiculing us. The lefties can't take it. 268 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: All you have to do is give them their own 269 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: medicine and they fall apart. Like I said, the Mariachi 270 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: thing with Jeffries Is, I mean, it was mild, It 271 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: wasn't even mean spirit and just kind of making fun 272 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: of them as they babble off their uh they're uh 273 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: to clean it up a bit their stuff. Another story here, 274 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: it's kind of a cousin of these. You've got two 275 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: things going on here, lefty political correctness and lefties wanting 276 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: to make money. These things come in and clash with 277 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 2: one another. Here there is a big comedy festival in 278 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. Saia Arabia has got a lot of money, 279 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: and if you've been following this story, which we've mentioned 280 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: a few times, Saudi Arabia is mainstreaming itself right now, 281 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: and one of the things that's doing is right and left. 282 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: It's buying sports franchises, buying entertainment and so on. The 283 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: new regime of Saudi Arabia is trying to shed off 284 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 2: the kind of stone age notion of Islam that you 285 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: can't have fun and so on. So anyway, that this 286 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 2: big comedy festival, and you know, the richest horse race 287 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: of the world is the Saudi Cup, twenty million dollars. 288 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: They put up that kind of money because they can't. 289 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: They're just you wanted to draw attention to them. Same 290 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: thing with this comedy festival. Well, how do you get 291 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: a bunch of comedians, most of whom are lefties to 292 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 2: come to this stud You pay him a fortune? And 293 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 2: I all went, I look at this list here some 294 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: of them. I mean, I like Dave Chappelle. I don't 295 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 2: think that you can figure out what his politics are. 296 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: So he went, of course he's gonna go because he 297 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: couldn't care less if he offends anyone. But then you 298 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: got Pete Davidson going. Maybe the most unlikable comedian in 299 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 2: the history of comedy. Right, he's just completely unless I 300 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: have no clue why even the lefties like him. He's 301 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 2: there's nothing funny about him for some reason. Also, he 302 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: gets hot women but then dumps them and says it 303 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: becomes suicidal. He's just an odd book. He's also as 304 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: lefty as gonna be. He took the money. Bill Burr 305 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: hard to figure his politics. He's the bald guy or 306 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: the shaved headed guy. You think he's funny. He took 307 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: the money. Kevin Hart took the money. They all took 308 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 2: the money, and now they're gonna got backlash from their 309 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: fellow people on the left, saying, how can you possibly 310 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: go and associate with this terrible Saudi government. See here's 311 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: the thing about lefties. They love Muslims, but not all Muslims. 312 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: For some reason, they hate the Saudis. And I suspect 313 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: they hate the Saudis because of all the Muslim nations 314 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: out there, the Saudis seem to be the one most 315 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: interested in having a good relationship with the United States. Also, 316 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: the Saudis were originally the major funder of terror. They 317 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: were the bankrollers have bin laden the new regime there. 318 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't think because of any kind of morality. I 319 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 2: think that they're just pragmatic. They realize that terror is 320 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: not good business. For them to be, and especially if 321 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: they have these notions of being a global economic power. 322 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 2: So they're not pro terror anymore. They're not supportive of 323 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 2: at all of Iran, that's their mortal enemy. And because 324 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: they're not supportive of Iran, they're therefore not supportive of 325 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: the terror groups that Iran bankrolls, which would be Hesbollah 326 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: and Hamas. So maybe that's why the lefties hate the Saudis. 327 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: See well, as Saudis do things like they behead women 328 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: and all those Muslim nations do, but the lefties for 329 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: some reason don't like the Saudis. If this thing was 330 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: in it Ran, no lefties would have objected at all. 331 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: But anyway, Pete Davidson or law, they took the money 332 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: and now they're being called to account by other lefties 333 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: and being forced to explain themselves in it's always amusing 334 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: when lefties have to explain themselves. Well, let's turn our 335 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: attention to this story. Well, I won't say lost, but 336 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 2: overshadowed in the moves that RFK Junior has made on autism. 337 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: So much attention was given to the report linking and 338 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 2: suggesting a correlationship between sidamniphin tilot All use by pregnant 339 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: women and autism. At the same time, RFK Junior did 340 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: authorize as government approved a specific treatment for a form 341 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: of autism, nonverbal autism. It's a drug that's been around 342 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: for a while called I think you pronounce it Luca 343 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: vorn I might have the emphasis on the wrong syllable. 344 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: I've heard it pronounced every way imaginable, but that's the 345 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 2: one that I'm going to use. A woman has posted 346 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: on TikTok that she has a nonverbal autistic and nonverbal 347 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: just means the kid doesn't talk. Following this announcement of 348 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 2: my Kennedy last two weeks ago, last week whenever it was, 349 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: she says her kid is speaking, and this video has 350 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 2: like it posted on TikTok, but that it gets linked 351 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: up and everything else. It's in the tens of millions 352 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: of views globally. Listen to it. 353 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: So my son just started luke hobrn for the first time. 354 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: In case you haven't paying attention, that was the other 355 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 4: drug that was mentioned when they were talking about this 356 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 4: tilt off fiasco, which put up in an we really 357 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 4: should be talking about luke obren. My son is five 358 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 4: years old and he's nonverbal low functioning autistic always this 359 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 4: way though, up until about a year and a half, 360 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: two years old, my son knew words, a lot of words. 361 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: He couldn't say sentences, but he could say one or 362 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 4: two words put together. And then there was an incident 363 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: that I'm not allowed to speak of because of TikTok regulations. 364 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 4: They took down in the video that I tried to 365 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 4: talk about what had happened in there, but you put 366 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: the two together. At right after that, he just had 367 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 4: a steep decline in language and it just it halted. 368 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 4: And he hadn't spoken since he's been on this medication 369 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 4: for less than forty eight hours. And my son just 370 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 4: spoke for the first time. 371 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 5: My nonverbal son just spoke for the first time in 372 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 5: over three years. Every day I have been praying for 373 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 5: an answer, praying for my son to be healed, and 374 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 5: all this time we've just had Lukovid sitting on the shelves. 375 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 5: I'm telling you right now, if your child is nonverbal, 376 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 5: if you are the parent of a non verbal autistic child, 377 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 5: get them on Luke Obran as soon as you possibly can, 378 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: because this is the answer that we have all been 379 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 5: praying for. 380 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: All right, I have no expertise in this area at all. 381 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: What I do know is that after Kennedy said this 382 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: is now an authorized treatment for nonverbal autism, some parents 383 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: are using it until it's government authorized. Physicians are often 384 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: unwilling to practicip risks to prescribe something. The authorization of 385 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: the culbrain when Kennedy did it has been attacked by 386 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: the pharmaceutical industry, attacked by the left, and so on. 387 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: There's no proof. There's no proof. There's no proof. There's 388 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: no proof. We do know that though, that the drug 389 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: is a low risk drug. In other words, what's the harm. 390 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: There's very little indication that this is any good for 391 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: any form of autism other than the nonverbal, the nonverbal 392 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: and the mothers. My kid did in his first couple 393 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: of years, he spoke, but then he just stopped speaking. 394 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: First time he spoken in three years is forty eight 395 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 2: hours after he took the first dose of la cuvern. 396 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: I am so sick and tired of hearing the media 397 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: say that anything that comes out of the mouth of 398 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: any alternative medical sources is bs or crap or hogwash. 399 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: You'd think that after COVID we would realize that these 400 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 2: people are the ones that are raw. The cverin is 401 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: not a high paid drug because it's been out there 402 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: for a long time. I don't know if it's generic, 403 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 2: but it's not real expensive. The drug companies don't make 404 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: much money off of all drugs. They make money when 405 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: there's a brand new one that they can charge six 406 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a dose for and have the insurance companies 407 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 2: pay for it. The same was true of ivermectin. We 408 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: had that mocked for three years during COVID. It's hartste wormer, 409 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: it's horse well, that's one of the nineties zillion things 410 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: that an anti is it in a viral or whatever 411 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: it was, it's good for We now know that all 412 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: sorts of people who took iver mecton had their COVID 413 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: treated better. The turning point in that one was, interestingly, 414 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: I think it was the one of the turning points 415 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: in society is when the biggest podcaster in the world 416 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: got COVID and he took ivermectin, Joe Rogan, and he 417 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: said it made me better right away. I think that 418 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: was significantly gotten to everything because I think that was 419 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: the thing that made Joe Rogan question his leftiism to 420 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: the point that he came around and endorsed Trump, and 421 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: one of the bigger it had Trump on the podcast. 422 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 2: And so one of the big reasons that Trump won 423 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: is that you had people who wrote like Rogan, who 424 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: had trusted the lefties forever and ever and ever and 425 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 2: realized that they may be wrong. The thing that's so 426 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: annoying about all of this is that all of my life, 427 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: the side of the political spectrum that refused to carry 428 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: water for big pharma was the left. They were the 429 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: ones that questioned and challenged everything, and now they're the 430 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: ones that simply doctorate air. You can't do this, you 431 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: can't do that, you can't try anything alternative. So I 432 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: have no my It may well be that this is 433 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: the lakovern for nonverbal autism is like the cancer drugs. 434 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 2: Most of these cancer drugs work for some people who 435 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: they don't work for others. It has to do with 436 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 2: how what helps with your own body. SAME's true with 437 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: migraine medications. Some work for some people, who do work 438 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: for others. And I don't know that la Crovn's gonna 439 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 2: work for every kid that's got nonverbal autism. But you've 440 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: got parent and this woman doing out that there's anecdote 441 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: eleven in from others that the same thing is happening, 442 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 2: and instead of the media touting and highlighting and spotlighting this, 443 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: they're doing the same thing they did with Ivermectin claiming 444 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 2: yet it's craphole like claiming that it's snake oil, which 445 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: is deterring some people from doing the very thing that 446 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: they ought to be doing. You're listening to the Mark 447 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 2: Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling Podcast. I have 448 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: a really interesting crime story here. It's going to require 449 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: you to go back a little bit. You may, if 450 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: you're from the Milwaukee area, recall the story. It has 451 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: to do with a babysitter who killed the family dog 452 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: of the family that she was babysitting. She cut one 453 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: of the children's hair and then she killed the family dog. 454 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: She ended up pleading not guilty by insanity. She was convicted. 455 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: She served nine months in jail. It seemed like just 456 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 2: one of those odd stories of some completely screwed up 457 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: young woman that was, as I say it roughly, I 458 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: got the deeds, sir. I think it was like a 459 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: year and a half, two years ago, and her name 460 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: is Kylie Sonomon. Fast forward just several days ago, somebody 461 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: broke into a vacant house in Sussex. They must have 462 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: had some knowledge that there were guns in the house. 463 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 2: They broke into the house. The house was at the 464 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: time unoccupied, but not empty. There were things in it 465 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 2: that just weren't people living in it. They stole twelve 466 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 2: to fifteen firearms out of the house. Guess who the 467 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: dog killer? Kylie Sonomon and she's now twenty from Sussex, 468 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: and a co defended Samuel Striker, he's seventeen. They're charged 469 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: with breaking in and stealing a dozen or more firearms, 470 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: and they later went off to a nearby park and 471 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: fired him. It doesn't even look like they stole the 472 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 2: guns for the purposes of reselling them. Because you're gonna 473 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: resell them, you're gonna draw attention to yourself by going 474 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: out in a park get shooting the guns off. Now, 475 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: in this case, it doesn't seem like they gave her 476 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: a pass in Waka Shaw County for the Washington County 477 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: actually for the for the killing of the dog, she 478 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: got nine months, which for killing a dog first offense. 479 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm used to everybody getting probation. She got 480 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: nine months in jail for it and now she or 481 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: she is breaking into a house and stealing guns. There 482 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: is zero chance that if she's not given significant time now, 483 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: it's all gonna get worse. This is just a bad scene. 484 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: She had bail set in Waukashaw County. It's twenty five 485 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: hundred dollars cash. I would have any idea for family 486 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: is maybe your family just figuring we've got to wash 487 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: her hands of this thing, that if we fail her 488 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: out and so on, it's just gonna get worse. Maybe 489 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: sitting in jail will teach her a lesson. I don't 490 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: know if she's gonna stay in jail with regard to 491 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: this or not. But it's the same person. Two very 492 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: different types of crimes the same person. Another criminal story, 493 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 2: this one also with a very weird twist. We have 494 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: a case of a woman from Franklin that southern Milwaukee County. 495 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: She's been missing now for four years. I sometimes don't 496 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: you can't keep up with all of them. But it's 497 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 2: the kind of case that a lot of these true 498 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: crime podcasts and videos on YouTube would focus on. But 499 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if they have in this one seventy 500 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: year old woman just disappeared, Nobody found no trace of her. 501 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 2: She just disappeared and the case has not been solved. 502 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: Her name is Sandra Eckert. Now, if you follow anything 503 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: about these true crimes, or for that matter, follow any 504 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: type of stories whatsoever, if a seventy year old man 505 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: or woman, whatever it is, turns up missing, who's the 506 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: person that's going to be looked at the first? This 507 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: sposs Nobody however, has been charged. But she does have 508 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: a spouse. Her name. His name is Wesley Eckert. He's 509 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: in his seventies now as well. This week, Wesley Eckert 510 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: was arrested by police driving the wrong way on a 511 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: one way street in Sandra Eckert's car. Sandra Eckert's children, 512 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: and I assume that they're also the children of Wesley Eckert, 513 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: are talking to Fox six and saying that this is 514 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: just bringing back all the old memories again. It sounds 515 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: like the kids may suspect the spouse. He's not charged 516 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: with anything, but boy, oh boy, old boy, let's just again, 517 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if he did it or not. The 518 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: story indicates that he was a suspect in the case. 519 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: And again, when you don't have a body, unless there's 520 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: other evidence, Sometimes you can charge, sometimes you can't. There 521 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 2: is not a statute of limitations for murder, so the 522 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: authorities can't wait. Anyway, Let's imagine you did it to 523 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 2: Boulish for me to say, like, imagine you killed your wife, Paul, 524 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 2: But imagine somebody that you knew killed their killed their 525 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: wife four years ago. Wouldn't you get rid of her car? 526 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 2: Doesn't it just seem odd that thinks do it? And 527 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: then he's driving that car? Why is he going the 528 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: wrong way down a one way street? And he's an 529 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 2: older guy. Maybe he's one of these guys starting to 530 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: lose it. He was not nailed for drunk driving or anything, 531 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: so far as I can tell. He did crash the 532 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 2: vehicle though, So that crash and his arrest on the 533 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 2: crash charges is putting the story back in the news 534 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: about the disappearance of Sandra. I have another crash story 535 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: for you before I do this. There's a story here 536 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: in the news. There's nothing particularly significant about it other 537 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 2: than it amuses me. And it's not even the kind 538 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: of story that should amuse me, but it does amuse me. 539 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: They're just certain things and certain people that amuse me. 540 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: Remember when Jay Cutler got his DUI didn't that amuse you? 541 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: That Jay Cutler got in drunk driving? It is funny. 542 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: I just it just seems to me that he was 543 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: intoxicated when he was playing. First of all, Jay Cutler's 544 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: one of those guys, not many of them. He looks 545 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: drunk all the time, even when he's sober. He just 546 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 2: has that drunk look to him. It's because it's droopy 547 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: eyes or something. He looks drunk. Well, so here're the 548 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: guy that always looks you gotta so. Right now, Jay 549 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: Cutler is serving he got it's Colorado four year no 550 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,239 Speaker 2: at Tennessee four your four day jail term. He's in 551 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 2: jail now. He's in the middle of his four days 552 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: in jail for drunk driving. Again, there's nothing significant about 553 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: the story at all. It just amuses me. It probably shouldn't, 554 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: Does it interfuse you? Jay Cutler's in jail for drunk 555 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 2: driving right now? Another collision story, Two Delta commuter jets 556 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: collided on the ground at LaGuardia Airport in New York. 557 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 2: The commuter jets what the commuter jets are usually not 558 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: operated by the main airline, and this one is not. 559 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 2: They're operated by Endeavor air but they are part of 560 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: the Delta network and it says Delta on the side 561 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: of the plane. In some cases, the main airline owns 562 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 2: the commuter line as well, and I don't know who 563 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 2: owns Endeavor, but they're Endeavor air Airlines, but they've got 564 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 2: Delta on the side. They use the Delta gates, the 565 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: Delta terminals, et cetera. A flight attendant was banged up 566 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: a little, but nobody was seriously injured. I am amazed 567 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 2: that this does not happen more often. First of all, 568 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 2: if you've ever traveled at any of the busy airports, 569 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 2: most of them, most of the major airlines, have their 570 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: flights all go out around the same time. I can 571 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 2: tell you, for example, sighting this airport, LaGuardia, New York 572 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 2: late afternoon to early evening. Every airline's got flights is 573 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: flying at that point in time, and LaGuardia is just 574 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 2: a weird airport. I've flown out of LaGuardia forever, way 575 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 2: back in the days in which I guess hosted for 576 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: Rush and I fly back to Milwaukee. It was always 577 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: La Guardia, never JFK, which just that was the airport 578 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: go bag back to Midwest Express, and there was air Train, 579 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: and then they all used LaGuardia. LaGuardia is this airport 580 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 2: and it's just stuck at a piece of property that's 581 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 2: too small for an airport. LaGuardia is near where the 582 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 2: Mets play City Field. It's also that's also near where 583 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: the tennis tournament, where the US Open is held. It's 584 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: on the northern portion of Queens. It's right up against 585 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: the water, on the northern portion of I mean, it's 586 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 2: kind of long. Long Island is the Long Island, but 587 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: it's still in the city of New York. So one 588 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 2: of the runways when you come in, and anybody who've 589 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: ever flown to Lguardia's experiences you're flying in right over 590 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 2: the water and the edge of the runway is at 591 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 2: the water's edge. In fact, the runways are so short 592 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 2: that I don't think LaGuardia can be used for international travel. 593 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they can handle seven forty sevens. I 594 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: don't know that, but I think I'm right about that. 595 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 2: It's also and it's a busy there's two airports in 596 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 2: New York. There's laguardieran JFK New York. It's a huge seti, 597 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 2: so there's a lot of flights are about the air 598 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 2: it's just small. The airport building is small. They did 599 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: a renovation of LaGuardia Airport a few years ago, and 600 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 2: there were taxi driver saying, this is a miracle. It 601 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 2: is a miracle that they renovated everything, the parking lot 602 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 2: and everything. They managed to keep the airport open during 603 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: the entire edit. It was miraculous. I don't even know 604 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: how they did it because it's just too small to 605 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: begin with. Imagine now construction all over the place and 606 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: stuff out of commission. And so by the way, the 607 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 2: terminal LaGuardia used to be the worst in the world 608 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 2: that it's been really nice ever since they read it. Anyway, 609 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 2: the same is true in the area where your taxi 610 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: the gates the terminal building is very very close to 611 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 2: the couple of runways that they have there. It's not 612 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 2: one of these places like Atlanta where you're taxi for 613 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 2: twenty five minutes. In fact, it's so cockam amy that 614 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 2: when you're at the end of the terminals, the pilots 615 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 2: can't drive in. They have to be tugged in because 616 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 2: you come in at a goofy angle. Because they're using 617 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: every last piece of space at the other thing, you know, Laguardi, 618 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 2: it was just notorious that if you weren't first in 619 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 2: line for takeoff, you could be sitting on the ground 620 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 2: longer than your flight was in there. We're number fifty 621 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 2: nine for takeoff, and there's only the one or two 622 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 2: uh what is it they called jetways that take you 623 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: over toward the runway, and you could be backed up 624 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: forever and you got planes incoming out, and it's just 625 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 2: it's all packed in. So two of these commuter jets 626 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 2: banged into one another. I think it is a credit 627 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 2: to all of the I don't know if air traffic 628 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: control controls you once, say, at the ground or not. 629 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 2: There's all those guys with those orange signals that are 630 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 2: waving your round all over the place, but they only 631 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 2: approach you when you're right by the terminal itself, when 632 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: you're on the jetways and everything's zigzagging all over the place. 633 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: I'm just surprised that doesn't happen more often. There's the 634 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 2: same airport that the you know, the miracle on the Hudson. 635 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 2: They took off over the water and hit the birds 636 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: and they landed in the U in the other river, 637 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 2: the East River, which is one of the rivers that 638 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 2: you know straddles straddles New York. It was no, it 639 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 2: was the Hudson. It was it was it was the Hudson. 640 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 2: It was the Hudset. It was called Miracle on the Hudson. 641 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: It was the Hudson. The Hudson is let's see, east 642 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 2: of Manhattan and west. I don't remember, yeah, I just 643 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: so that was that was that airport. And now this 644 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 2: some of you may not know what's been going on 645 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 2: with gold. Do you know what's been going on with gold? 646 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 2: You don't know anything about this. You don't just keep 647 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 2: it on on your foot. So you're one of these 648 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 2: iff It doesn't affect me. I have no level of interest. 649 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 2: Gold has been doing nothing but going up for the 650 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 2: last two to three years. This year, silver is going 651 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: up at a higher percentage. Usually silver is like one 652 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 2: percent of a gold is and silver's trackedep But gold 653 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: has been soaring. It's at an all time high. And 654 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 2: the thing that's been curious about that is usually gold 655 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 2: goes up when stocks go down. Gold is considered a hedge. 656 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 2: When things are bad, that's when people buy gold. Also, 657 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 2: gold has traditionally been an inflation hedge, because you know 658 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 2: gold things in flake. Gold inflates. The thing that's been 659 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 2: odd is gold has really taken off ever since inflation 660 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 2: started to get under control. There's a disconnect between inflation 661 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 2: and gold. Why is gold? Why is silver? Why are 662 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 2: they going up? There's a million theories. Some of them 663 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: the real inflation hedge became bitcoin and gold was left 664 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 2: in the wayside, and when bitcoin slowed down, everybody got 665 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,720 Speaker 2: into gold and silver. I've heard that. The other theory 666 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: is you need metals, including precious metals, for AI, and 667 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 2: there's now uses beyond investment and jewelry purposes for gold, 668 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 2: and that would be the AI purpose. I've heard all 669 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 2: of those things, but I've got some numbers for you. 670 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 2: This is interesting stuff. Between seventeen ninety three and eighteen 671 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 2: thirty three, gold was at the same price nineteen dollars 672 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 2: and thirty nine cents. It then made a big move 673 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 2: in the mid eighteen hundreds. It hit forty seven h 674 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 2: three and forty seven dollars and three cents in the 675 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: middle of the Civil War, and then pulled back to 676 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 2: twenty dollars to twenty dollars by eighteen seventy eight. In 677 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 2: eighteen seventy nine, gold was back down to twenty dollars 678 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 2: and sixty seven cents, In other words, only a buck 679 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 2: higher in eighty years. That's a dead investment. Part of 680 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 2: this has to do with America being on the gold standard. 681 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: When America was on the gold standard, gold basically didn't 682 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 2: move because the American dollar was tied to gold anyway. Then, 683 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: from eighteen seventy nine through nineteen thirty two, gold stayed 684 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 2: at that range of twenty dollars and sixty seven cents. 685 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 2: In the mid nineteen thirties, what happened in the nineteen 686 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 2: thirties even you know this, they're great depression, but generally 687 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 2: had gold does well when everything else has gone to crap. 688 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 2: In the mid nineteen thirties, gold got up to thirty 689 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 2: five dollars, where it stayed for the next thirty years. 690 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 2: Because of the gold standard being created, gold didn't move 691 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 2: an inch from thirty five to sixty five, still thirty bucks. Then, 692 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 2: in August of nineteen seventy one, Nixon took the dollar 693 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 2: off of gold, end of the gold standard. I wasn't 694 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: around with any kind of money that I wonder if 695 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 2: I would have had the brains to realize by gold 696 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 2: when Nixon did that, because gold started to explode in 697 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy one, and between nineteen seventy one and nineteen 698 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 2: eighty gold went on one of the greatest bull markets of 699 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 2: all time. I do remember in that era, this is 700 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 2: when the gold bugs came out and they were on 701 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 2: the radio all over the place. By gold, by gold, 702 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 2: by gold, the world's coming to an end, by gold, 703 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 2: by gold, by gold, by gold. Gold went in four 704 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 2: years from nineteen seventy one to seventy five, from thirty 705 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 2: six dollars to one hundred and eighty four. Pretty good move. 706 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: It fell to ninety nine dollars in nineteen seventy six. 707 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: And then this is when the fireworks that happened between 708 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six and January of nineteen eighty. Now, what 709 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 2: happened between seventy six and eighty Carter, for those of 710 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 2: you route it out at the time. Carter was there's 711 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 2: never been a worse economy in America other than the 712 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 2: Depression than Carter. Screwed everything up. And again, when does 713 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 2: gold go up when everything else is bad? Gold went 714 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 2: during the Carter years between nineteen seventy six and nineteen eighty. 715 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 2: It went from ninety nine dollars to eight hundred and 716 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 2: fifty by January of nineteen eighty. That's what I read. 717 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 2: It made that incredible run, and that's what all the 718 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 2: ads were on to buy gold. If I've learned anything 719 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 2: about this is when everybody's telling you to buy gold, 720 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 2: then it's too late. So it made that incredible run, 721 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 2: running from about one hundred bucks to eight hundred bucks 722 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 2: in the five years up to nineteen eighty. Gold managed 723 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 2: to pull all the way back from eight fifty in 724 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty and was essentially dead money for decades. By 725 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, gold was down to two hundred and 726 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 2: fifty bucks. So gold went from eight hundred to two 727 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 2: fifty in the eighties and the nineties. What has going 728 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,720 Speaker 2: on In the eighties and nineties, the economy was great. 729 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 2: Reagan turned the economy around, and it remained strong under Clinton. 730 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 2: So in the eighties of the nineties, gold lost pretty 731 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 2: much all its value, went from eight hundred back to 732 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 2: two fifty in nineteen ninety nine. From that point forward 733 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 2: until the day before nine to eleven, excuse me, five 734 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: days before nine to eleven nine to six. I take 735 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 2: that back, I've got the wrong reference point. Between nineteen 736 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 2: ninety nine and two thousand eleven, gold moved back up 737 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 2: to nineteen hundred and twenty one dollars, So that was 738 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: the next big move that occurred in the market. You 739 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: then had a bear market in which gold from eleven 740 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 2: to fifteen went from nineteen hundred to ten forty six. Again, 741 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 2: this was during a period of time in which the 742 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 2: economy was mostly moving forward. This is the tail end 743 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 2: of Obama ten forty six, so that last reference point 744 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 2: almost exactly ten years ago. Gold was ten forty six 745 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 2: on December third of fifteen. As of two days ago, 746 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. Yesterday gold was up 747 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: to thirty eight twenty four and continuing to rise. I 748 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: have no idea what any of that means. I can, however, 749 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 2: tell you that the history of gold is to be 750 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 2: one of the most volatile things imaginable. After these massive runs, 751 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 2: it tends to pull way way way way way back 752 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: and could be dead for fifteen to twenty years. There's 753 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 2: just no way of knowing if we're at thirty eight 754 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 2: hundre right now at the peak, or if this run 755 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 2: is going to go to nine or ten thousand. I 756 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: don't know. I own a lot of gold. I haven't 757 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 2: sold that aid, but you certainly have to think about it, because, 758 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 2: as I say, gold does have a tendency to pull 759 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 2: way back. The thing that is a wildcard for me 760 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 2: and trying to assess this and the same thing as 761 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 2: silver silver's really gone up, is whether or not this 762 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 2: is fundamentally driven that you simply need so much gold 763 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 2: and silver for AI where you need rare earth metals 764 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 2: and precious metals that you now have. Silver's always had 765 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 2: a use beyond gold. You know, it's used in an 766 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 2: industry and a lot of things. It's not just a hedge. 767 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 2: It's also used in manufacturing and a lot of things. 768 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 2: Gold basically is just an investment and used in jewelry 769 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 2: and used for almost nothing else. I mean, I don't 770 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 2: even know if they use it for tooth fillings anymore. 771 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 2: So it's just been that. But if there is now 772 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 2: an actual industrial use for the both of them, given 773 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 2: what AI is doing and so on, there may be long, 774 00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 2: long long ways for these to run or its implube 775 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: speculative and now would be the time to get out 776 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: of it. But anybody who's got a lot of gold. 777 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 2: It's just I am not somebody who likes to sell things, 778 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 2: but it seems like they're too high. I always want 779 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 2: to wait for it. I'm willing to let it go 780 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 2: back twenty five percent and say, okay, this is the 781 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 2: downturn rather than you know, I learned that from some 782 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 2: of these tech stocks. Well, gee, it seems like Amazon's overvalued. 783 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 2: You know, in nineteen ninety eight, a lot of those 784 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 2: tex stocks went boom, went went bust. And then there's 785 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 2: the NVIDIAs and the Amazons and the Microsoft saying all 786 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 2: the others of the world. We come back after the 787 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 2: break football preview and some football picks, as we normally 788 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 2: do on the end of the week podcast. All right, 789 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 2: it's time for our weekly football preview and pointspread bricks, 790 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 2: as we are everywhek. We're joined by Mike Burletta of 791 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: American Sports Analysts and uson. Mike is threatening to resign 792 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 2: from the program if he doesn't get one of these 793 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 2: points spread picks picks correct. I'm assuming that your service 794 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 2: is doing a little bit better than some of your 795 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 2: scoring picks here here on our podcast. Anything special going 796 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 2: on this week out at ASA? 797 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're having a decent year. Last week we lost 798 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: had a poor college day, which aligned with what I had, 799 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 3: and we had a decent NFL weekend. So just again, 800 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 3: we lost our first college top game of the season 801 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 3: last year, but I think we'll bounce. I think we've 802 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: got a really good spot this year. So check it 803 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 3: on Friday at ASA wins dot com. We'll have something 804 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 3: up for a big plan on Saturday. 805 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 2: I could not find a single college football game that 806 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 2: I liked all last weekend. I think you kind of 807 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 2: have to have something going on, but last week it 808 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 2: is a very very difficult week Anyway, the way we 809 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: normally do this is we talk about college football first 810 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 2: and then the NFL, because other than the Thursday night game, 811 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 2: college football games are played first. I was looking through 812 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 2: the schedule and there really isn't a huge matchup this weekend. 813 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 2: But I think the most interesting one is it's a 814 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 2: conference game and it's an interstate game. Miami is playing 815 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 2: Florida State. Now, Miami was very heavily hyped going into 816 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 2: the season, and I just had some thoughts that they 817 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,720 Speaker 2: were too overhyped. They have a lot of transfers and 818 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 2: their Coachmurrio Christobal every single year manages to lose a 819 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 2: game by doing something stupid during the game, But so 820 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 2: far they've looked very good. Florida State is what a 821 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 2: weird program. Two years ago, they were one of the 822 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 2: best teams in the country almost won the national championship. 823 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 2: Last year they were one of the worst teams of 824 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 2: the ACC. I don't know that I've ever seen a 825 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 2: team drop as much as they've dropped, and they've bounced 826 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 2: right back this year. They're coming off a loss, but 827 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 2: they're a much better team that this year. And this 828 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 2: is I guess what's going to happen in the transfer 829 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 2: portal where teams can remake themselves and single year. In 830 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 2: any event, it's actually a conference game. They're both in 831 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 2: the ACC and they might be the two best teams 832 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 2: in the ACC. Your thoughts on Miami and Florida State. 833 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 3: Bike, Yeah, Miami's favored at Florida State by four and 834 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 3: a half. We'll learn more about Miami even though they 835 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 3: have two good wins against Notre Dame and Florida is 836 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 3: still a good win. Even though Florida hasn't been very 837 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 3: good this year. 838 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 2: Florida has a tremendous defense and a pathetic offense, So 839 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 2: they are I think the Cleveland Browns of college football. 840 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 3: Florida they are. They're really you hit it right on 841 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 3: the head. Their quarterback is supposed to be really good, 842 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 3: and he's not playing very good. But this is Miami's 843 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 3: first road game of the year. They played every game 844 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 3: at home so far. You get Florida State a little 845 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 3: angry coming off a loss. Florida State is the number 846 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 3: one offense in the entire country. They averaged six hundred 847 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 3: yards a game, their number one rush offense in the 848 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 3: country three hundred and thirty six yards per game, and 849 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 3: they average fifty three points a game. So it'll be 850 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 3: interesting to see how their offense plays against a really 851 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 3: good defense. Miami's top ten in total defense. It's a 852 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 3: rivalry game, and as you'd expect a rivalry game, it's 853 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 3: normally leans toward the underdog. The last twenty meetings, the 854 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 3: dog has won fifteen of those. In the last ten 855 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 3: times the dog has been an underdog at home, they've 856 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 3: covered eight of those, So I would lean Florida State 857 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 3: in this game. I don't think it's high enough for 858 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 3: us to use, but if it got a little higher, 859 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 3: we probably leaned Florida State. 860 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 2: Are both of these teams top ten teams in the country. 861 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 2: It's really early to tell, and Florida State does have 862 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 2: a loss. Miami has looked very good. As I say, 863 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 2: the coach, and this has been going on forever with 864 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 2: Mario Crystabal. He just does one dumb thing every year, 865 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 2: and he's going to cost this team For all I know, 866 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 2: they'll run the table and going to the National Championship 867 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 2: game and he'll do his dumbell thing then. But he 868 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 2: does know how to build a program. He does assemble 869 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 2: tremendous talent. He's just one of these guys that needs 870 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 2: to have an assistant make a lot of the in 871 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 2: game decisions rather than him. Anyway, they both like me 872 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 2: as really good, hard hitting football teams, kind of back 873 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 2: to what we've seen from the State of Florida in 874 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 2: the past. Do you think they're top ten teams? 875 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 3: I think Miami right now is a top ten team. 876 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 3: If they win this game, they're absolutely a top ten team. 877 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 3: But I agree with you, don't. I can't stand their coach. 878 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 3: He's going to lose a game or two for him 879 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 3: by making dumb decisions at some point. Unless they're just 880 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 3: that much talent, more talented than everyone else. I think 881 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 3: Florida State is fringe top ten. If they would have 882 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,959 Speaker 3: won last week, you know you're looking at a top 883 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 3: ten team. This game will tell a lot about both 884 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 3: those teams. 885 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 2: The Cristobal reminds me of a guy who used to 886 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 2: coach at LSU less miles. Every year he'd do something stupid, 887 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 2: but he assembled incredible talent and he was an innovative coach, 888 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 2: but he made just bizarre ind game decisions and it 889 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 2: always had cost them. All Right, we have to turn 890 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 2: our attention to the Wisconsin program, which just appears right 891 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: now to be bleak. They're in a transition year, which 892 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be the third year of a new head coach, 893 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 2: but they are, and they're facing the toughest schedule, probably 894 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 2: of any team in college football. Their most witable conference 895 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,800 Speaker 2: game was two weeks ago against Maryland, and they got pasted. 896 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 2: Before we talk about this weekend's Michigan game, you're in Madison. 897 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 2: You're close to what's going on over there, the state 898 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 2: of the program, and after what we saw against Maryland, 899 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 2: some people are seriously asking if they're going to lose 900 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 2: every game on the remainder of their schedule. Could they 901 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: really be a two to ten team finishing with ten 902 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 2: losses in a row or is it not that dire? 903 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 3: Well, they're going to be underdogs in every game from 904 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 3: this point on, so yeah, it's highly possible they lose 905 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 3: every game from this point on. They're actually they've been 906 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 3: in a double digits underdog once. They're going to be 907 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 3: a double digit underdog four more times this year, so 908 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 3: almost half their games they're going to be double digit underdogs. 909 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 3: The last time that happened was Elva this first year 910 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety. Now they're playing a much more difficult 911 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 3: schedule than they have in the past, which I mean every. 912 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 2: Bad team in the Big Ten is not in their 913 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 2: schedule and every good one. You know, the Big Ten's 914 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 2: got all these teams and some aren't very good, but 915 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 2: Wisconsin doesn't catch any of them. The weakest one was 916 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 2: probably Maryland. No, maybe Maryland is better than we think 917 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 2: they are. It's too early to tell, but they just 918 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 2: don't have any of the cupcakes in there. The fear 919 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 2: that I have is that the coach is going to 920 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 2: lose the team and players are going to mentally check out, 921 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 2: and it could get really ugly. And I see some 922 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 2: of Luke Fickl's press conferences and I mean, I don't 923 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 2: know how you're supposed to act at press conferences like this, 924 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 2: but he I don't know that. I want to say 925 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 2: he seems defeated, but I think he just realizes that 926 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 2: talent wise, his team is overmatched. Is there any reason 927 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 2: to be more optimistic than what I draw out there? 928 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 3: No, I think I think you're right. I don't you know, 929 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 3: he's probably running out of stuff to say. 930 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to I mean, they asked, what 931 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: are you supposed to say? I mean, you keep losing 932 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 2: in this? And he so he says, well, we've got 933 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 2: to do this, We've got to do this. But there's 934 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 2: there's nothing to say, I mean, and he's got to 935 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 2: be frustrated. He's a guy that has been successful everywhere. 936 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 2: He was an interim coach at Ohio State like ten 937 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 2: years ago, and they didn't have a very good year 938 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 2: that year. But that was I forget who it was. 939 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 2: It was it urban Meyer who walked away, or Tressel 940 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 2: or somebody. He inherited a team that wasn't really his 941 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,399 Speaker 2: and he was only an interim coach. But when you're 942 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 2: somebody that's been in football and have always been successful, 943 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 2: it's hard to figure out what to do when you're 944 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 2: not because you've never been confronted with a lack of 945 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:36,760 Speaker 2: success before. 946 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the problem right now is their 947 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 3: depth is not good. I mean, their offensive line loses 948 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 3: guys and they're one of the worst offensive lines in 949 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 3: the Big Ten. They lose their quarterback and their backup 950 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 3: look decent against some bad teams, and that they're just 951 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 3: they're not really deep and they can't afford to lose 952 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 3: those type of guys and be competitive against these type 953 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 3: of teams. And that's where they sit right now. 954 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 2: People are saying Fickle can't be fired because of his buyout. 955 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. I think he can be fired, 956 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 2: and I think these things are negotiable, and I think 957 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 2: Luke Fickel wants to coach again if he is fired here, 958 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,319 Speaker 2: so you negotiate a buyout. I'm just not sure that 959 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 2: it's the right thing to do. I think he made 960 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,280 Speaker 2: a terrible decision in switching to an air raid offense 961 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 2: and picked the wrong coordinator to do it, and has 962 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 2: set his offense back. Not the two years that they 963 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 2: had it, but three because they're trying to redirect everything. 964 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 2: I just think that if they're going to go out 965 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 2: and take a look at hiring somebody new, you'd be 966 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 2: hiring somebody who has the profile a fickle Fickle lost 967 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,359 Speaker 2: only one game is last season at Cincinnati and went 968 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 2: to the Final four in college football. I mean, they'd 969 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 2: be looking for another guy of that profile, and then 970 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 2: you have everybody transfer your start all over again. But 971 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 2: I mean, if they do go two and ten or 972 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 2: three and nine, I think that the pressure to fire 973 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 2: him would be overwhelming. I'm just not convinced it's the 974 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 2: right thing to do, real quick quick. On the Michigan game, 975 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 2: Michigan might not be quite as good as some of 976 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,280 Speaker 2: the Michigan Harbough teams in the past, but they're still 977 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 2: really good. I think Michigan's favored by what's seventeen against 978 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,839 Speaker 2: Wisconsin on Saturday. They gave it in Michigan. By the way, 979 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 2: have you ever seen that stadium you've ever been to Ianna. 980 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 2: They call it the Big House, so unusual, hundred thousand 981 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 2: seats but single deck, so I mean the top row 982 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 2: of that. I don't even know. How about the row. 983 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 2: It's got to be like row one hundred and fifteen 984 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 2: or something. It's just such an unusual stadium, but they 985 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 2: managed to They managed to fill that thing up anyway. 986 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,320 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the badges in Michigan. 987 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and interesting the stadium. When you look at the stadium, 988 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 3: it doesn't look big because it doesn't look very it 989 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 3: goes down into the ground. So like the top one 990 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,720 Speaker 3: hundred and fifteenth row or whatever is not that high 991 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 3: from the ground. It goes down into. 992 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 2: Because the stadium was sunk into the ground. 993 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's you know, I think 994 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 3: Wisconsin's chances they got to somehow stay in it early. 995 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 3: They scored seventeen old points in the first half and 996 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 3: twenty two possessions this year. And those are again some 997 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 3: bad teams. I mean, Alabama was good, but there's some 998 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,240 Speaker 3: bad teams out there. If they in Michigan scored seventy 999 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 3: six points in the first half in four games. If 1000 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 3: Wisconsin gets behind early, they've shown they don't have the 1001 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 3: offense to come back. They don't. They got behind against 1002 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 3: the Alabama got blown out, They got behind against Maryland, 1003 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 3: couldn't do anything. They somehow got to keep this game 1004 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 3: close into the second half. I don't know if they 1005 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 3: can do it or not. Michigan's defense is good, not 1006 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 3: as good as they have been. They've got a freshman 1007 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 3: quarterback who's making multi millions of dollars because he was 1008 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 3: the best recruiter. 1009 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 2: Freshman quarterback was making about as much money as Jordan Love. 1010 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah exactly. I mean, I think it's 1011 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,919 Speaker 3: gonna be tough. If they can somehow ugly the game 1012 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 3: up and stay in it into the second half though, 1013 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 3: the chance to make it a game. But if they 1014 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,439 Speaker 3: get behind big in the first half again, they're done. 1015 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 3: They just can't. They don't have the offense. 1016 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 2: I mean, they the oldest one of the oldest sayings 1017 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 2: is no old line no oh, and that's their problem. 1018 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 2: Let's try to attention to the NFL. I think maybe 1019 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 2: the most bitter rest of the game in the league 1020 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 2: is the game tonight. We're doing the podcast on Thursday, 1021 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 2: the Rams and the forty nine Ers. I won't even 1022 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 2: give it an intro other than that. Your thoughts on 1023 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 2: that game. 1024 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 3: Well, the lines, the crazy line move in this game. 1025 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 3: So the Rams open is a three point favorite. Right now, 1026 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 3: they're eight and a half and nine. So that move 1027 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 3: that moved through four through six, through seven, and now 1028 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 3: it's almost ten. 1029 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 2: Why is pretty party? The quarterback's been banged up. Is 1030 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 2: he playing for San Francisco? 1031 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 3: No, No, he's out, But I mean mac Jones. Their 1032 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 3: backup has started in two games and won them both 1033 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 3: and looked okay. 1034 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 2: As backups go, he's right there with Malik Willis as 1035 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 2: being one of the two or three best backups. I 1036 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 2: would think he's been a starter in the NFL. 1037 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he started two games this year and they 1038 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 3: won them both and looked look decent. But the Niners 1039 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 3: are really banged up. Their wide receivers are banged up. 1040 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 3: They have some offensive line issues. The Rams are healthier. 1041 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 3: I think the Rams are a top five ish NFL 1042 00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 3: team right now. You know, the niners three wins have 1043 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 3: come by a combined ten points, so they've played a 1044 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 3: bunch of close games. They could have a worst record 1045 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 3: and the Rams could easily be four. Now we know 1046 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 3: their one losses at Philadelphia. You know how that ended. 1047 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 2: And I used them as my pick last week, a 1048 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 2: little bit lucky and covering. I had the terrible three 1049 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 2: and a half, but they got the touchdown late in 1050 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 2: the game went to win by a full touchdown. But yeah, 1051 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think they're a really, really 1052 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 2: good team. I both two of the best coaches in 1053 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, Shanahan's great coach and the Rams coach. 1054 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 2: His name is scaping my head right now, McVeigh McVeigh. 1055 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: They're both really good coaches. They're both second generation coaches. 1056 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 2: I think San Francisco is going to give them a 1057 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 2: fight in that game. And home field situation is so 1058 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 2: weird with the Rams having so few local fans and 1059 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 2: so many of the visiting team fans coming in. There 1060 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 2: no Packer game this weekend, so let's preview another game. 1061 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 2: The Ravens play the Texans, And the reason Mike I 1062 00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 2: pulled this one out is these two teams were both 1063 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,439 Speaker 2: ought to be Super Bowl contenders, and they're both one 1064 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 2: and three, and they both have big name quarterbacks. They're 1065 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 2: both one and three. I know it's early in the 1066 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 2: season and it's not even a divisional game, but I 1067 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 2: think this is a must win game. It's really hard, 1068 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 2: even with the extended season now, to make the playoffs. 1069 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 2: If you start one and four and one of these 1070 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 2: teams is going to lose your thoughts in this game, 1071 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 2: because it just doesn't seem like either of these teams 1072 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,439 Speaker 2: is as bad as their poor one and three records. 1073 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 3: Well, they've got two different situations here, because the Ravens 1074 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 3: are really good offensively, you know, they ranked number second 1075 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 3: yards for play number three and scoring. Their defense stinks. 1076 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,919 Speaker 3: They're thirty second in total gas. 1077 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,040 Speaker 2: That's so unlike that program too. I mean, the Ravens 1078 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 2: have had a great defense. 1079 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 3: Forever and they're bad right now. And they're banged up 1080 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 3: on defense. If you look at two of their three losses, 1081 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 3: the offense scored thirty or more points eight games. They 1082 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 3: lost two of their three losses. They've got five or 1083 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 3: six starters injured on defense. And then Houston's the exact opposite. 1084 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 3: Their defense is really good and their offense stinks. And 1085 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 3: they to give you an idea of how bad their 1086 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 3: offense has been going into the fourth quarter last week 1087 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 3: against Tennessee, so they had played fifteen quarters going into 1088 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, they had scored three total touchdowns in 1089 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 3: fifteen quarters, and then they scored three in the fourth 1090 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 3: quarter last week to match their total the first fifteen 1091 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 3: quarters against a bad team in Tennessee. Maybe that turns 1092 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 3: them around. I don't know. The line move in this 1093 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 3: game has been crazy as well. The look aheadline in 1094 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 3: this game was Baltimore minus nine and a half and 1095 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,120 Speaker 3: Houston is favored by one and a half right now 1096 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 3: because Jackson's not going to play at quarterback and their 1097 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 3: defensive injuries are massive right now. Yeah, we're not going 1098 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,959 Speaker 3: to use this game either way, but it's a huge 1099 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 3: game for both teams. 1100 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, one team has their quarterback, although he's 1101 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 2: played badly, that's Houston, and the other team has maybe 1102 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the NFL and he's out, but 1103 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 2: they still have a surrounding cast on offense. It's real, real, good, Mike. 1104 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 2: I'm forgetting the backup for the Ravens. Who's going to 1105 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 2: start a quarterback for them? 1106 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 3: It's doing an interesting part that it's Cooper Rush, but 1107 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 3: the used to the Cowboys. Correct, Yeah, he's with the Cowboys, 1108 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 3: So Lamar Jackson. Since he's got drafted in twenty eighteen, 1109 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 3: he's won seventy two percent of the games that he 1110 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 3: started in the NFL. In the fourteen games he hasn't started, 1111 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 3: Baltimore's four and ten. 1112 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 2: So that shows you how Yeah, that means that means 1113 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 2: he's really good, you know. 1114 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're gonna have to change their offense, right. 1115 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 3: Their offense is predicated on him moving around and running 1116 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:37,360 Speaker 3: some Mark. 1117 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 2: Cooper rushed the pocket quarterback. 1118 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, correct, So it's going to look completely different 1119 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 3: this week for them. 1120 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,919 Speaker 2: Okay, recapping our picks from last week, which Mike doesn't 1121 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 2: want us to do. Mike thought Indiana and Iowa would 1122 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 2: score more than forty seven and a half and they didn't. 1123 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 2: They're just it's so hard to figure out some of 1124 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 2: these teams. I think Illinois is better than Iowa, but 1125 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 2: Indiana beat iow Illinois by sixty points and they beat 1126 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 2: Iowa by five points. So it's just it's hard to 1127 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 2: figure a lot of this stuff out. Paul took the 1128 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 2: forty nine ers to beat the Jaguars by four and more. 1129 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 2: We're just discussing the forty nine as they lost the 1130 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 2: game to Jacksonville. So he took a loss, and Paul 1131 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 2: list me is I guess Yeah. I was thinking I'm 1132 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 2: three and one, I'm four, and how in the world 1133 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 2: could I short change myself? But this is the uh 1134 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 2: sixth week. Yeah, I'm four, And when I took thet 1135 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 2: I won't say lucky, but fortunate here. I had the 1136 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 2: Rams three and a half over the Colts. That game 1137 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: was tied and the Rams got a touchdown. Often you 1138 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 2: just get the field goal and you don't cover. So 1139 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,439 Speaker 2: I moved to four and one with my picks. Then, 1140 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 2: all right, we'll make some point spread picks pro college 1141 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,520 Speaker 2: games to be played this weekend, Paul, you get to 1142 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 2: go first, the Lions and the Bengals. In fact, I 1143 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 2: have strong thoughts on that game myself. That's ten Detroit 1144 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 2: on the road at Cincinnati is favored by ten. The 1145 01:03:55,840 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 2: Patriots and the Bills. Right, lad, you're asking about the NFL. 1146 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 2: There's fewer games to scroll through. That game is that's 1147 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 2: the Sunday night game. It's in Buffalo, and the Bills 1148 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:16,960 Speaker 2: are favored at home by eight and a half. The 1149 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs and the Jaguars. Yes, about the Chiefs and the 1150 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 2: day that's Monday night, the Monday night game. That game 1151 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 2: is in Jacksonville. But the Chiefs on the road are 1152 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 2: favored by three and a half. You're taking the Chiefs. 1153 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 2: You're taking the Chiefs to win by four or more 1154 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 2: on the road at Jacksonville. You might want to reconsider 1155 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 2: going against Jacksonville what you did last week and lost 1156 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 2: in this, Kansas City seems to me to be better 1157 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 2: than I thought they were going to be. Once again, 1158 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 2: we're only a few weeks into the season and we 1159 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 2: already realized Week one is completely irrelevant. I mean, Detroit's 1160 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 2: an example. There's just so many teams that played either 1161 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 2: good or bad or Week one, and he just every 1162 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 2: year people overreact to Week one and you can just 1163 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 2: already see it. Anyway, why do you like the Chiefs 1164 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 2: over Jacksonville here? Well, you say that, I mean they 1165 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 2: do Jacksonville. Jacksonville's a hard read because they're in such 1166 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 2: a crappy division, so when they play in the division, 1167 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,640 Speaker 2: somebody's got to win. But the quarterbacks in his prime 1168 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 2: Chiefs are You often pick games now you mentioned one game. 1169 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 2: I do have an opinion, but you often pick games 1170 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 2: in which I'm completely mystified by. And I do think 1171 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 2: Kansas City is much better that I think they might 1172 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 2: be better last year than they were last year when 1173 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,440 Speaker 2: they went to the super Bowl, but did it with mirrors. 1174 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 2: They seem so far this year to be a more 1175 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 2: complete team in the offense is bounced back a little bit. Yeah, 1176 01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 2: Bill's on the Patriots. I've another impossible game with that 1177 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 2: big spread. Mike, do you have any quick thoughts on 1178 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 2: Paul's pick of the Chiefs over the Jaguars on Monday? 1179 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Jaguars have a good record. They have 1180 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 3: one loss on the season, you know, three and one, 1181 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 3: but they've been helped by they're the number one turnover 1182 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 3: team in the NFL. Margin they're plus nine and turnovers 1183 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 3: all right. 1184 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,280 Speaker 2: And turnovers are often luck, not always, but often luck. 1185 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 3: Their luck a lot of times. And they again I've 1186 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 3: talked about this on this show for years, if you 1187 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 3: win the turnover battle in your game, you're gonna win 1188 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,560 Speaker 3: seventy five to eighty percent of the time. That's just 1189 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 3: the way it is in the NFL. And they're plus 1190 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 3: nine already, so that has a lot to do with 1191 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 3: why they sit where they are. Chiefs. I think they 1192 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 3: might be a little better than last year. I'm still 1193 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 3: not quite sold on them. I see, I understand why 1194 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 3: they're three and a half in this game. I think 1195 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 3: Jacksonville's pretty overrated for a three and one team, to 1196 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 3: be honest, right now, so you. 1197 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 2: Kind of think maybe Paul's right. I'm like always a 1198 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 2: three and a half. 1199 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 3: You think if it was under three? 1200 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, give me Mike needs his win. Where are 1201 01:06:58,560 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 2: we going with our games? 1202 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,880 Speaker 3: Well, let's get one college and one NFL college. I 1203 01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 3: need the Iowa State Cincinnati at three twenty seven. Three 1204 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 3: twenty eight is the number. 1205 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Cincinnati is better than I thought they'd be. But 1206 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 2: I'm not sure they're bed. I just don't know if 1207 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 2: they're bet In the Iowa State, Cincinnati at home is 1208 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 2: favored by one and a half over Iowa State. 1209 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 3: And then in the NFL, how about the uh well 1210 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:26,120 Speaker 3: two in the NFL Saints Giants Giants said, Saints Saints. 1211 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 2: Giants, Though, there's a marquee game for you, the Saints 1212 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 2: and the Giants. That game is in New Orleans. The 1213 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 2: Saints are favored by one and a half. 1214 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,440 Speaker 3: And then Denver at Philadelphia. 1215 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 2: That's a better game. Broncos and the Eagles. Here we 1216 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 2: go there it is uh three and a half. The 1217 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 2: Eagles at home favored by three and a half. Broncos 1218 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 2: have a really good defense, yes they do. 1219 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 3: Let's go with the college game. I'm gonna take Cincinnati 1220 01:07:58,600 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 3: minus one and a half over IWA. 1221 01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Cincinnati's just better than I thought they were. Frankly, 1222 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 2: they don't seem to have missed the beat since Luke 1223 01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 2: Vikele left Cincinnati. Iowa State still a really good team too. 1224 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 2: Why do you like Cincinnati? 1225 01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,680 Speaker 3: I like the Cincinnati is a lot better than people think. Cincinnati. 1226 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 3: Offensively is really good. Their top twenty in total offense 1227 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 3: averaged forty points a game. They're number three in the 1228 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 3: whole country and yards per play. They average over eight 1229 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 3: yards per play offensively, and they've played some decent teams, 1230 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,280 Speaker 3: including Nebraska. They averaged six point three yards per carry, 1231 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,400 Speaker 3: which is ninth in the country. Their offenses is really good. 1232 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 3: I'm not sold on Iowa State. I'll be honest. They 1233 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 3: beat Kansas State the first week. We see what. Kansas 1234 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,719 Speaker 3: State is not that great this year. They looked good 1235 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 3: last week. But the thing about Iowa State last week 1236 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 3: is they lost their two starting corners last week, who 1237 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,640 Speaker 3: started fifty five games between them. They're both gone. They're 1238 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 3: both lost for the season last week. That's a huge 1239 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 3: blow to them. I like the fact that Iowa State's 1240 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 3: played all home games. The one true road game they 1241 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 3: played was at Arkansas State, who's bad. Arkansas State is 1242 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 3: zero to four, including losses to ul Monroe and Kanansas State. 1243 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 3: Iowa State won that game by eight points with a 1244 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,679 Speaker 3: touchdown in the fourth quarter. They struggled in that game. 1245 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,600 Speaker 3: The numbers, I look at it across the board, Cincinnati's 1246 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:28,679 Speaker 3: better at the yards per play margin, those type of names, 1247 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 3: type of games. The one thing I also like about 1248 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,960 Speaker 3: this game, Mark is you've got a team that's ranked 1249 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,639 Speaker 3: in the top fifteen against a team that's not even 1250 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 3: receiving votes in the rankings. And Iowa State was favored 1251 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,880 Speaker 3: in this game and it switched to Cincinnati favored. You 1252 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 3: don't see that too often. There's a reason Cincinnati's favored 1253 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:48,840 Speaker 3: at home in this game. And I'll lay the one 1254 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 3: and a half. 1255 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,040 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to go to the NFL. It's one 1256 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 2: of the games that Paul mentioned, and I'm getting over 1257 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 2: my version of laying a lot of points. It's the 1258 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,799 Speaker 2: Detroit Cincinnati game. The Lions on the road are favored 1259 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 2: by ten. Picking double digit road favorites used to be 1260 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,920 Speaker 2: way back in the day. A really dumb thing to do. 1261 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 2: It get throw week one out. The Lions are spectacular 1262 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,599 Speaker 2: if you ignore Week one, where they look just terrible 1263 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 2: against Green Bay since then, they've been spectacular and Cincinnati 1264 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:21,880 Speaker 2: is an absolute mess. Paul. Whether Mike mentioned the Ravens 1265 01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 2: without Lamar Jackson, it's the same thing Cincinnati without Joe 1266 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,959 Speaker 2: Burrow and he's out for months. They have no offense 1267 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 2: without him. They scored only three points last week. I 1268 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 2: just Detroit is scoring again. Take Week one out. They're 1269 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,960 Speaker 2: over thirty points every game. It doesn't matter whose defense 1270 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,839 Speaker 2: is facing them. Throw the green Bay game out. Detroit's 1271 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 2: going to score over thirty and I think they'll throw 1272 01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 2: a score over thirty against Cincinnati. And with a ten points, 1273 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 2: I can't fathom the Bengals scoring twenty. They just seem 1274 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 2: to have no offense at all without Burrow, and the 1275 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 2: season seems to be spiraling out of control for them. 1276 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 2: So I'm laying all ten on the road with the 1277 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,439 Speaker 2: with the Detroit Lions. I know you just don't like 1278 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 2: laying a lot of points with the NFL, but I 1279 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 2: think the spy calls for it. 1280 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think San Cincinnati is gonna cash it here soon. 1281 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,519 Speaker 3: The third offense, like you said, it, is horrible. Last 1282 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 3: two weeks against Minnesota and Denver, they've been outscored seventy 1283 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 3: six to thirteen in those two games, and now they're 1284 01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 3: playing an offense that's way better than Minnesota and Denver's offense, 1285 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 3: So I don't disagree with that. Another interesting point on 1286 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 3: Paul's take taking Kansas City. Remember Cincinnati three weeks ago 1287 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 3: beat Jacksonville at home thirty one to seven, thirty one 1288 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,760 Speaker 3: to twenty seven, and Burrow went out early in that game, 1289 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 3: and they still beat Jacksonville, So that might tell you 1290 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:39,559 Speaker 3: Jacksonville is just not where they should be. I don't 1291 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 3: disagree with the player. I'm not huge in the land 1292 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 3: huge points on the road, but there's no way I'd 1293 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 3: take Cincinnati in that game. 1294 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that the numbers on it are 1295 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 2: no longer as terrible as they used to be, and 1296 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 2: there isn't as much parody, and that there's just more 1297 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 2: really bad teams and really good teams now in the 1298 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,599 Speaker 2: NFL than there was in the past. So I'm willing 1299 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 2: to lay you agree you were going to I assume 1300 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 2: you were going to take Detroit when you were mentioning 1301 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 2: asking about that game as well. Yeah, well you kind 1302 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 2: of regret not to. You just think, for all of 1303 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 2: a sudden, you're into this impression that I've got things 1304 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 2: figured out this season, and I just had Whenever you 1305 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 2: start thinking that way, that means it's about to crash 1306 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 2: to an end.
