Yeah, I feel like we should 20 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: have a fire, especially in this weather. But to let's 21 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: gather around. I want to tell you a story, a 22 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: story about a young man named John. And listen in 23 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: here is you kind of watch and we take a 24 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: journey with John's young life to where his life ends up. 25 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: And this might be the way that a news outlet 26 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: would position John, whom we are going to talk about 27 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: right now. John was from Chicago. He was from the 28 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Norwood Park area. I didn't do well in high school 29 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. But he got his 30 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: stuff together and he attended the Northwestern Business College. Now 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: that's not the Kellogg Business School at Northwestern. This is different, okay, 32 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: but it was a pretty good college. I think it 33 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: was in existence for around one hundred and two years 34 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: here in Chicago Land and he Whitney, got his business 35 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: degree there. Now, as he went on, thanks for that fire. 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: See that warms the cockles of the high heart, and 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: cockles might play into this story in a little bit. 38 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: So a John as he went and started his life again, 39 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: just goes to show that you might have a little 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: trouble at this portion of your life, but if you 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: get things back on track, you can go and you 42 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: can get yourself a pretty decent job. So in nineteen 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: sixty four, John from Norwood Park and now a graduate 44 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: of the Northwestern Business College, got a gig with the 45 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: none Bush Shoe company. And let me tell you something, 46 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: back in nineteen sixty four, you could make yourself a 47 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: nice living. Sure, you could ask Gal Bundy about the 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: living he made for his family. 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: You know. 50 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: After that storied career, he had at polk Hi working 51 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: and selling shoes. But in nineteen sixty four, the company 52 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: transferred John to Springfield, Illinois to work as a salesman. 53 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: They eventually promoted him to department manager. John was doing okay, 54 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: he was on the fast track to success. That's where 55 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: he met a coworker. Now around here, you can't do that, no, 56 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, you don't dip the old pen in the 57 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: company incause they like to say right. So he met 58 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: his coworker because that back then it didn't matter. They 59 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: didn't know what the LHR was. We're still making bombs. 60 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: So he married Marilyn Myers. During their courtship, he joined 61 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: the local chapter of the j c's. Now here's a 62 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: guy that found give him back his lady, Yeah, aren't you? 63 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: And you're a lion right, yeah, I'm. 64 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: Starting to worry about you. 65 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: But he had joined the local chapter of the JCS, 66 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: to whom he frequently devoted his time and effort to 67 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: the community. And fundraising product projects. He had risen to 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: the position of vice president of the Springfield jay Season 69 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: and was named the third most outstanding jay Z in 70 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: the state of Illinois. John and Maryland had things going 71 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: their way until something from his past messed him up, 72 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: and he went on to kill thirty three young men 73 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: and kids boys and bury them in his Norwood Park home. 74 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: Only reason I say this to you is because you 75 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: can take anybody and make their story of who they 76 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: are seem like it's a shining story of success. 77 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: Right. Did the Clown Union come out. 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: And say day off today for John Wayne Gacy? No, 79 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: because the guy was a murderous fool. Now, I don't 80 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: portend to lump Alex pretty into that kind of situation, right, 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is this is the media will 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: spin anything they can way they want to make somebody 83 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: seem something they might not be. Again, I am not saying, 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody in this country, unless there's 85 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: something wrong with you, wants to see somebody die at 86 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the hands of an officer. Officers don't wake up and 87 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: say you know what today, I think I'm gonna take 88 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: somebody's life out run mine room, my career. But this 89 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: thing where you have everybody talking about this person like 90 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: he was some kind of shining star into his family 91 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: and friends. He very well could have been born and 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: raised in the Chicago area, right moved to Green Bay 93 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: where things got a little dicey for him because he 94 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: guess he became a packer fan. You know, I'm kind 95 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: of paying an attention to a trend here. Packer fan 96 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: guy gave this gacy guy gave. 97 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: His life the JZS. You're a lion. 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: Oh my god, this guy could crack at any time 99 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: right over here. But to say and to have nurses 100 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: and hold vigils for a guy who was an agitator, 101 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: who would spit upon police officers, ice officers, whether you 102 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: like them or not, they have a job to do 103 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: and they're doing their job as set forth by the 104 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: US Constitution. You may not like that, you don't have 105 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: to like that. But to go to the point of 106 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: arrest memfor and we know that he did that last week. 107 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: He had ribs broke when he was tackled. Because you 108 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: can't wreck government property, you can't kick out tail lights 109 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: of cars, You can't do that kind of thing and 110 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: not think that there's going to be some kind of repercussion. 111 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: But today in Chicago and across the country, and in 112 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: Minneapolis more exact, they're having a general shutdown because they 113 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: want to honor the life of Alex Preddy. So it's 114 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: not gone to waste this nurse, this good guy, this everyman. 115 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 1: And remember, everyone can spin a story to make somebody 116 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: seem something that they weren't. But look at what happened 117 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: here and understand that if you do silly and stupid things, 118 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: you may pay a price for that. I'm not saying 119 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: that kicking a car or a tail light out on 120 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I get you dead. I'm not saying that at all. 121 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: But play stupid games, win stupid prizes. How many times 122 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: have we had to say that started crazy? Work backwards? 123 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: See where it might get you. But the news media 124 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: spends it like this all the time. Now there's a 125 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: couple of coffee shops and things like that that aren't 126 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: going to open today in Chicago because you know what, 127 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: they want to support this Alex pretty guy. They want 128 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: to ice out no matter where you are, they want 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: ice out of America. These are the same people that 130 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: when Megan Boss was killed and stuffed into a blue 131 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: container a La Drew Peterson. Nobody cared about that, Nobody 132 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: took a day off work for that, Nobody says her name. 133 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: But when these things happen, it fits a narrative, and 134 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: the narrative being created by who and why. I don't 135 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: understand what the outcome is going to be. I don't 136 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: know what they want the outcome to be. Do we 137 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: just live in a country with no borders anymore, no laws, 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: no rules. Where does that get us? It's problem reaction solution. 139 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: It's great the problem we react. 140 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 4: We had a solution for you, and it usually involves 141 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: more government. 142 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: You have every right to protest. You don't have a 143 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: right to come up and blow a whistle in somebody's ear. 144 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: You don't have a right to impede law enforcement. That's 145 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: going to get you in trouble. But we don't care anymore. 146 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: Right we make heroes out of people that ought not 147 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: to be made heroes. 148 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: John is here. 149 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: John wants to say hi this morning, five ninet one 150 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: eighty nine hundred, y'all welcome.

But can you kind of turn over 556 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: the tea leaves there at the Maxim O'Ryan ranch and 557 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: tell me that this might be a better year for 558 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: the American farmer and then leading to a better year 559 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: for the rest of us. 560 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 6: With the economy, we're always hoping we get round the 561 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 6: corner at the egg economy. This is the going into 562 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 6: the fourth straight year of a tough agg economy. But 563 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 6: I'm sitting here looking at the drought monitor map, the 564 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 6: one that came out yesterday, and Illinois is well. Arkansas 565 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 6: is a little worse than Illinois. Southern Missouri is in 566 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 6: tough shape. Be it out around Champagne. That's the worst, 567 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 6: almost the worst drought you can have at about a 568 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 6: thirty mile radius of Champagne. Only if you look at 569 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 6: the state of Illinois, only the Chicago area and then 570 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 6: southeast Wisconsin and northwestern THEATA are free of dry conditions 571 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 6: right now according to the drought monitors. So that may 572 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 6: mean somewhat of a possibility of a spring rally. Now, 573 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 6: it all depends, of course, on the rains that we 574 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 6: get in the spring, and you know, you don't need 575 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 6: a lot, you just get good regular moisture. We can 576 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 6: recharge that soil moisture the down of the depths there 577 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 6: to rely on in the summertime if we get into drought, 578 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 6: so we could still have good crops. But I think 579 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 6: if we continue to have widespread droughts showing up on 580 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 6: the map, we'll have some folks saying, yeah, we need 581 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: to get a little nervous about the green. 582 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: Market, you know, and talk about the snowcover, because the 583 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: snowcover does help, right, I mean, although you do need, 584 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 1: you do need a lot more snow to make up 585 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: for actual rain. But you know, whether people still realize 586 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: this or not, this region around here is still pretty dry. 587 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 6: Well, you're exactly right, you know, and in the mountains 588 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 6: of the West, they rely on that moisture. 589 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 3: How are you picking up? 590 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 6: You know, I filled in for Top Well wait a minute, 591 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 6: I substituted for Tom back. 592 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: In the day. Yeah, there, listen. I don't want to. 593 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: I don't want Dean Richards and Tom Skilling's boyfriend's coming 594 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: after me because you're making fun of these guys. 595 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 6: Like guys say, the snowpack of the mountains can really 596 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 6: make a difference out there. And if we continue to 597 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 6: get good winter time precipitation, which has been the case, 598 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 6: you know, right around Lake Michigan, and that has helped 599 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 6: the drought right around the lake. But you get a 600 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 6: little farther away and it's still very drought across the 601 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 6: driver areas of north central Todiganda, much of Illinois, and 602 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 6: we we need some winter time moisture. You have to 603 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 6: recharge that some soil. 604 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: This is our business report with Max Armstrong. He is 605 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: a cornstar. 606 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 3: Max. 607 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: Before I let you go serious, news here on WLSA 608 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: made ninety in Woodstock, Pete is calling on Woodstock to 609 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: replace Woodstock Willie with a AI inspired groundhog a pig. 610 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that? 611 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 6: Forme force him to watch the movie for three hours? 612 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: Oh god, like that. 613 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 6: It's just it's crazy.

And if I do, his name might be 669 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: Nick Gael and I probably you know what to this point, 670 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: why not? 671 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: What the hell? We just do it for the insurance, 672 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 3: either that or just let's just do some experimenting. What 673 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 3: do you think? What do you think they're touched. 674 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 4: Me? 675 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: Ay? Now? Kid? Yeah, day, big daddy. 676 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: New sapol there's a new Ciana pol out that's talking 677 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: about the economy and what Republicans and Democrats think going 678 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: in to the midterms. And there's a couple of things 679 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: that are problematic here. One the administration, which would be 680 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, gets really good marks when it comes 681 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: to crime, when it comes to border security and border issues. Now, 682 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: there are a certain amount of Americans that think that 683 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: the border issue and what Ice is doing in Minneapolis 684 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: and other places has gone too far. We always talk 685 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: about what the optics of this looks like. Right, But 686 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: the good news is here in America we have a 687 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: thirty second memory. But here's what the Democrats are doing 688 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: well at affordability. They get high marks on affordability and 689 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: the economy for doing what what have they done well? 690 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: They are responsible for the economy of what we're in. 691 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: And anybody that will argue that point is wrong. They're 692 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: just yelling her race. They're all started back with Joe Biden. Sorry, 693 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: it's all on Joe Biden. Yeah, things have started to 694 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: get better. You'll just earn't five dollars a dozen anymore. 695 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: You know why, Donald J. Trump, you almost sounded like 696 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: Maya Rudolph when she imitates Kamala Jeebiden Jeebiden. But you know, 697 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: the ridiculousness to the affordability scam is they've done a 698 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: good job with it. You got to give them, right, 699 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: The Democrat party, and even that crazy really progressive left 700 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: wing nut faction of that party has done a good 701 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: job saying, hey man, this guy said he was going 702 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: to bring prices down, but it's not happening. But all 703 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: you have to do, And again, Nick, you have to 704 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: understand who you're dealing with. Right You know that the 705 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: price of groceries has come down. They're still high, but 706 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: they got to come down. You know the price of 707 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: fuel is coming down as well, so price of diesel 708 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: not so much. But then you're dealing with this winter 709 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: blend that's not supposed to gel, but it's gelling and 710 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: my truck just saying. But so I just wonder, and 711 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: this is a question for you at the various stute 712 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: WLSAM A ninety listener is what do the Republicans have 713 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: to do? What does the GOP have to do to 714 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,719 Speaker 1: get their messaging out by the time the midterms roll around, 715 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: Because I don't think we lose the Senate, I don't. 716 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 3: The other side don't know. I'm not so sure about 717 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 3: House could be. 718 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: And here for those that are listening right now and 719 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: they're saying, well, I don't care, I like the way 720 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: things are going. You have to remember that if we 721 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: do not keep the Senate in the house, everything you 722 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 1: voted for two years ago is for not because now 723 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: you've got another two years of just disarray. You know, 724 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: you've got guys like Hakeem Jefferies in charge, and all 725 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: they're doing is causing turbulence and turmoil. So you know, 726 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: I know this might not be a fashionable statement, and 727 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: I know that we are law and order people, but 728 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: I think what Trump needs to do and Christy Noman 729 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: needs to do, I understand they're doing their job. 730 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 3: Well back a little bit. You've done what you said 731 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 3: you would do. 732 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 4: Well. I think that's happening right with getting Gregory Bavino 733 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 4: out of Minneapolis and now putting Tom Homan in there, 734 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 4: I think that that shows a major shift in kind 735 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 4: of the policy towards ICE agents and Border patrol agents 736 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 4: in their mission there. 737 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't. 738 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: Again, I can't wrap myself around the ideology of people 739 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: that want lawlessness or will support people that do stupid things, 740 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: because there are stupid people in the world, right, you know, 741 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: and it's been that way forever, right, I mean I 742 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: understand that, Yeah, But I mean. 743 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 4: If you're okay, if you're cool with you know, illegal criminals, 744 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 4: sex offenders, rapists, whatever running around in your town. Okay, bro, 745 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 4: But you know, I think the majority of people say no. 746 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: Common sense is you don't let that happen. Kick him out. 747 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 3: You know. 748 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: The thing is is, if this is this the platform 749 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: people want to stand on. If if you want to 750 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: support narco terrorists Maduro, if you want to support Senator 751 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: Van Hollinsworth, you know, going down and talking to a 752 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: trendy at Agua gang members and having margaritas with guys 753 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: that are known members of a trendy at Agua. 754 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 3: I don't quite get that. 755 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: But we have a kid that shows up at the 756 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: State of the Union or whatever that I know it 757 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: wasn't the State of the Union per se. When Trump 758 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: talked to the to the United States for the first 759 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: time and that DJ Daniel kids stood up and nobody 760 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: on the left stood up for a kid who was 761 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: battling cancer, that chills me everything I need to know 762 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: about you have some decency. But again I also think Nick, 763 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: that this isn't your mom and dad's Democrat Chicago ran 764 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: pretty good as a Democrat town up until really Lori 765 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: Lightfoot and now Brandon Johnson. 766 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 3: Whether you liked Ram Emmanuel or not. 767 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: At least he was common sense, right, you know, and 768 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: that's a problem for Ram Emmanuel now, who is kicking around. 769 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: Maybe a bid for president. I tell you what, I 770 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: think that would be a for the for the Democrat side. 771 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: That's not a bad choice when you put him up 772 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: against guys like JB. 773 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 3: Pritzkergor Gavin Newsom. 774 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 4: Yes, but enter the extreme left, loony tunes, AOC's of 775 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 4: the like, and they're like Nora Emmanuel, he's a. 776 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 3: Concerns he's not one of us.

But the ea FBI ICE is doing their 867 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: job in all these cities, but for some reason, only 868 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: seems to be a dust up in Minneapolis. 869 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 3: Now, why would that be liberal town. 870 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: Well, I think that there's this thing called Somali fraud 871 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: that's going on, and you know, there's some. 872 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 3: People that are pushing back on me. 873 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I would like to see 874 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: this thing tamp down a little bit because I want 875 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: to get back to the fraud issue and this is 876 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: just a big smoke screen. Keith Ellison and Jacob Fry 877 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 1: and Tim Walls. They've got a problem on their hand, 878 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: and we're being diverted from that problem because nobody's talking 879 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: about the billions and billions of dollars in fraud that's 880 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: being funneled through the Somali community back to Somalia and 881 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: maybe even into the hands of terrorists.

This is 891 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: just Donald Trump's problem with Tim Walls in Minnesota, and 892 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: when we know it's not. And I want these guys 893 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 1: to be nailed for this because this is our money. 894 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 4: Well, and you know here's the thing too, and I 895 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 4: was telling you this a couple of days ago. They've 896 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 4: got some It was a caller into Chris Plant talking 897 00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 4: about Sioux City, Nebraska City, Iowa, right, Nebraska, where they 898 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 4: have all of a sudden over the last four or 899 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 4: five years. It's a large Smali population there, and the 900 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 4: callers like I'm telling you, these guys are here illegally 901 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 4: or false pretext whatever. You send ice into a more 902 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 4: rural setting like that, you would not have any of 903 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 4: these problems until sorrow sends in the hired agitator. 904 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 3: Why is it that? 905 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: What does the Somali community have in common with Sioux City, Nebraska? 906 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 3: What are they going for the machine shed? You know? 907 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: Hey, you know they're going out there to hang out 908 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: at the at the you know, the farm and fleet 909 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: now or the tractor supply store. 910 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 3: You know, you're also. 911 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: Talking about something. I recall you asking me about birthdays 912 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 1: in this community, because everybody was putting their birthday down 913 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: as January first, right right now. If you do a 914 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: little research into that, there's a lot of people that 915 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: have come from Somalia. They don't keep birth records quite 916 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: as clear as we do here. So when they come 917 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: here and they assume our identities Steele are social Security numbers, 918 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: they put down January first as their birthday. So I 919 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a big smoking gun there. But 920 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: there's just not a lot that follows them over from 921 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: that god forsaken land of what they once came. Now 922 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: closer to home, we're talking about this a shutdown. I 923 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: was talking to social staff, she's getting her kids ready 924 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: for school, and I said, whoa, Sometimes social staff isn't 925 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: on our side. I don't think that's a big surprise, right. 926 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: She lives in Chicago, she's Roscoe Village, young lady, white, 927 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: she's a woman, you know, typical suburban mom. 928 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 3: But I said, you're not supposed. 929 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: To take the kids to school today, and she's like, 930 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: I have to, they're school today. I'm like, no, schools 931 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: are supposed to be shut down. This is the walkout 932 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: today where you close your businesses. You don't open anything 933 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: up today because the best way for you to defund 934 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: ice is not making any money for your business. Could 935 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: that be the stupidest thing you've ever heard? I mean, 936 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: but that's the mindset of these people. Several people detained 937 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: in Chicago's west Loop at. 938 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 3: A Target store. Yeah.

Tomorrow, Nick, 1017 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: we are talking about Canada. Canada is reducing tariffs on 1018 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: Chinese evs. Why is the question we will ask is 1019 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: why are they doing that? Because whatever happens and when 1020 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 1: China introduces its evs, it's decimated the European EV market 1021 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: and it's been no good because China comes in and 1022 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: they bring a product that's a lot cheaper. It doesn't 1023 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: have the quality of an American built EV or a 1024 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: European built EV, but it's cheap. 1025 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 3: It's got a cheap price point. 1026 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: So Canada's Carney is kind of a way to thumb 1027 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: his nose at the President. Donald Trump said, you know 1028 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,399 Speaker 1: what if you're going to call off tariffs, and there's 1029 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: not a lot of manufacturing that goes on in Canada 1030 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: and one. 1031 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 3: Of their major major. 1032 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: Producing, uh factories and producing is car manufacturing. And I 1033 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: think with Trump and his bring everything back to the 1034 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: United States and you know, no no, uh, you know, 1035 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: big tax breaks if your car was made in America. 1036 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: But this, this will be this is going to be 1037 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 1: bad for Canada. And I think this Mark Carneigh, this 1038 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: Carney guy. The premiere is is just this is not 1039 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: a good decision for Canada. 1040 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 3: Uh. 1041 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: Speaking more about the the Trump administration and Canada, I 1042 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: guess there was some separatists from Alberta that have met 1043 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: with the Trump administration now not now, not Trump, but 1044 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. So again, Prime Minister, and this listen, 1045 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you had reprivy to any of 1046 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 1: the things that we talked about last week, when you know, 1047 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: everybody was in Davos and they were talking about the 1048 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 1: economy and Carney was waving his finger at the Trump 1049 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 1: and Trump didn't take too kindly to that, and the 1050 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was there and they were all talking about 1051 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: how bad the economy is. But I got to tell you, 1052 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 1: we walked out of there as supporters of Donald Trump 1053 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: and as America I think, looking pretty darn good. But 1054 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,240 Speaker 1: he is now saying that the US needs to respect 1055 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: Canadian sovereignty after reports have emerged that Alberta separatists it 1056 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,280 Speaker 1: talked to the Trump administration about the province possibly leaving Canada. 1057 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 3: Becoming part of Montana or something that'd be great.

But this Alex guy, 1149 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 1: who the media has portrayed is some kind of a saint, 1150 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: and every nurse all of a sudden is standing up 1151 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: saying yeah, yeah, you know. 1152 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 3: It's like it's like, it's. 1153 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: It's weird how sometimes the left will coalesce around things 1154 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: that don't necessarily I think deserve it, you know, telling 1155 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: ice officers to effing arrest me and assault me and 1156 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 1: spitting on them and kicking out tailights and stuff like that. 1157 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't know where people think that gets you, but 1158 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: it just goes to show you that why is a 1159 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 1: guy and how does he become radicalized? Who's what you 1160 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,839 Speaker 1: think would be a pretty good job, And before all 1161 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: of this started to happen, seemed to be pretty normal. 1162 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:18,359 Speaker 3: Where did he go off track? 1163 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 1: And it happens both ways, right, you get lunatic conservatives 1164 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,120 Speaker 1: just like you get lunatic liberals. I'm not saying this 1165 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: is only a Democrat thing, but in this instance, you 1166 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 1: know the way they point that guy at that guy 1167 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 1: and now somehow it's Christy Nomes's fault for her to 1168 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 1: do her job, It just doesn't make a lot of sense. 1169 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what she says. These 1170 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: radicals are attacking me, I quote, but I'm just doing 1171 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 1: my job. I'm following the law. I'm enforcing the laws. 1172 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: President Trump promised that he would do to keep our 1173 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,760 Speaker 1: people safe in this country, and he ran on the border, 1174 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 1: he ran on immigration, and he's doing what he said 1175 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: he would do.

He just doesn't seem like he's happy with himself. 1225 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: But you you got a good career, You're working for 1226 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: a great network. Tell me about this new study according 1227 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 1: to the CDC about how things have bounced back post COVID. 1228 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 14: Remember in twenty twenty one, we were all talking about 1229 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 14: this right if life expectancy had dropped, and that was 1230 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 14: a little alarming to everybody. It was down to seventy 1231 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 14: six and a half years of age. We're now at 1232 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 14: seventy nine. As you note, for women life expectancies at 1233 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 14: eighty one and a half, for men at seventy six 1234 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 14: and a half the leading causes of death still remain 1235 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 14: heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injuries, but all of those 1236 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 14: categories have seen dropped. Suicide did replace COVID nineteen as 1237 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 14: the tenth leading cause of death. But the bright spot 1238 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 14: here within the overall the right spot of higher life 1239 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 14: expectancy is the age group with the biggest death rate 1240 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 14: decline were for people between the ages of fifteen and 1241 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 14: thirty four, and the biggest mortality cause drop in the 1242 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 14: death rate was within the unintentional injury category that does 1243 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 14: include car accidents and drug overdoses. 1244 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, I wonder, I wonder what the tail of 1245 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: the tape. We'll say, a few years down the road, 1246 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: with this big drug enforcement push from Trump and the 1247 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: taking out of some of these narco terrorists, if in 1248 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: the removal of fetanol, if that age group that you 1249 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: mentioned there wouldn't go. 1250 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,959 Speaker 13: Up a little bit, I mean, that's the hope. 1251 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 14: Although let's remember these are numbers from twenty twenty four. 1252 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 14: President Trump wasn't even president for his second term yet, 1253 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 14: and we were starting to see this decline in drug 1254 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 14: overdose deaths, and so it does make you wonder why 1255 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 14: there's been a focus among doctors to prescribe fewer opioids. 1256 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 14: There's been an increased use in deployment of narcan. You know, 1257 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 14: police and deputies are increasingly carrying that around in the 1258 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 14: event of overdose. And even people who engage in recreational 1259 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 14: drug use, they use those those test strips more often 1260 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 14: now to test the drugs for fentanyl. And when it 1261 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 14: comes to the other causes, like, for example, we're talking 1262 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 14: about heart disease being still the number one cause, right, 1263 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 14: so why why is it going down? Experts say it's 1264 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 14: a combination of things, including weight management and medication. You 1265 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 14: might say weight weight management, did obesity also go down? 1266 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 14: And apparently it did a bit. Gallup News reported the 1267 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 14: adult obesity rate dropped to thirty seven percent in twenty 1268 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 14: twenty five. That's down almost three points in three years. 1269 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 14: That might just be a long way of saying ozepic, 1270 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 14: but we know there are some high hope, you know, 1271 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 14: it's just metical. 1272 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting you say that because yesterday we had a 1273 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: study saying that I think it was by twenty thirty 1274 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: five that like fifty percent of Americans were to be 1275 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: considered obese, and I thought, well, that doesn't really add 1276 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: up because with these GLP one drugs, I mean you 1277 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,200 Speaker 1: could see people that had weight on them forever and 1278 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 1: now they're walking around looking like a you know, just 1279 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: a mere portion of themselves. Right. 1280 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 14: Well, that's an interesting stat and it might be a 1281 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:11,600 Speaker 14: statistic gathered like let's say, if we weren't using these drugs. 1282 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 14: I'm not sure about the the that particular study. But 1283 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 14: you know, it's still an expensive drug. These these glp 1284 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 14: ones are still expensive. Not everyone can get their hands 1285 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 14: on them. So we'll see if the price can drop 1286 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,200 Speaker 14: even further.

Now looking ahead, you can 1370 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: look at a lot of polls that show Darren Bailey 1371 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: is out in front by a large margin. But to 1372 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Mendrick is in second in many of these polls.

It seems to be Darren 1387 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Bailey's race to lose. And then how do you beat prisker. 1388 01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 1: That's the next thing when it comes to money, and 1389 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 1: you look at the ridiculuslessness of everything that's going on 1390 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,280 Speaker 1: in the world. And I thought it was funny and 1391 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 1: odd at the same time, because if you didn't laugh 1392 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 1: or find it funny, you just cry. But when Tim 1393 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 1: Walls was found out about this fraud in Minnesota, everybody 1394 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: wrote love letters in support of what a great guy 1395 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: Tim Walls is. Forget about the federal funds, forget about 1396 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 1: the money that's gone right, but gosh, he's such a 1397 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 1: good guy, and almost every Democrat governor supported him, And 1398 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: I wonder why is that? Just because there's fraud all 1399 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 1: over these blue states and they're just trying to cover it. 1400 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 3: Up part of it. You know, here's the thing. 1401 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 4: I don't think Pritzker's going to lose, right unless the 1402 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 4: movement like Chicago flips rad those you know, things like 1403 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 4: that have got to keep happening. People have got to 1404 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 4: start waking up, especially if you're in the African American community. 1405 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 4: If you're in the Hispanic community, and you know you 1406 01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,160 Speaker 4: saw everything kind of taken away from you because of 1407 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 4: supporting the illegals that are here, I would think you'd 1408 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 4: want to rethink your vote and vote for a Republican 1409 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 4: who's gonna you'll do something about it. 1410 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,680 Speaker 1: Millions upon millions upon millions, probably into the billions. You 1411 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,759 Speaker 1: look at the budget shortfall that you have in Chicago 1412 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,320 Speaker 1: under Brandon Johnson, right, and then you look at what 1413 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: went on in the end of the Biden administration at 1414 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: the beginning of the Johnson BJ Johnson era here the 1415 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 1: lowest rated BJ ever and the money that was spent 1416 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: on welcoming centers and phones and healthcare and things like that, 1417 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 1: And hey, man, I don't fault immigrants for using that stuff. 1418 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,679 Speaker 1: They had a velvet rope that was unlocked and they said, 1419 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,759 Speaker 1: you go right ahead in you go up to Chicago. 1420 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,800 Speaker 1: They're going to take care of you. They did what 1421 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: they were allowed to do. I don't put this on them. 1422 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 1: They were allowed to come here, and now they're suffering 1423 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 1: the repercussions of that. This really is a Joe Biden 1424 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,759 Speaker 1: fiasco and it sucks because he did it to these people, 1425 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 1: and it's bad. 1426 01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 3: For everybody involved. What happened. 1427 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 4: I'm just thinking back to when the governor of Texas, 1428 01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 4: and it happened in Florida two where they were busting 1429 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 4: right the illegals to Chicago and in Minneapolis in places 1430 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 4: like that. Is there any recourse there? I mean, you 1431 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 4: can't blame the guy for not wanting him in his state. 1432 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, because now he saw what was going to happen 1433 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 1: to his budget, right right, And that's what's happened in 1434 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: the state of Illinois. And we're all paying the bill 1435 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: for it. 1436 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 4: Right, But in those black and brown communities that they're 1437 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 4: suffering this that suffered the. 1438 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 1: Most, specifically the black community, and they have taken notice, 1439 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 1: and they should, they should, But you got to vote different. 1440 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,600 Speaker 1: But and that's the thing, you know, it's like, Okay, well, 1441 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 1: who's taking you to the polls and who are they 1442 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 1: telling you to vote for?

I don't want to, I don't want 1453 01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: to divert from his time to talk about his run 1454 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,320 Speaker 1: for governor, but I do want to ask him what 1455 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 1: he thinks the mindset might have been for the heirar 1456 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 1: of this guy by saying him in county, this guy 1457 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: Sean Grayson, because he had been at six different departments 1458 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,519 Speaker 1: in four years, right, which to me that seems a 1459 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:34,440 Speaker 1: little problematic. 1460 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 4: Well, I think he reacted as a lot of officers 1461 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 4: would have reacted. She was reaching for a pot of 1462 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 4: boiling water. I disagree, and screaming at him. 1463 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 1: I disagree because I you know, we talk so much 1464 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: about mental health and mental health in this state, and 1465 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: I've got some partly personals to this with a family 1466 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 1: member who had a a breakdown of epic proportions. It 1467 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,920 Speaker 1: was basically tackled by seven cops in that instance. They 1468 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 1: didn't know what to do with her. And I get it, right, 1469 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,600 Speaker 1: you're in a situation where things might get volatile, But 1470 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: in the situation where I'm talking, there was nothing at 1471 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,160 Speaker 1: stake of a weapon or anything else. It was just 1472 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,599 Speaker 1: excitable delirium and they couldn't get her under control. 1473 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 3: But with this, she had. 1474 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,879 Speaker 1: Called police because she was worried about somebody outside, perpetrator whatever. 1475 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 1: And I don't know how or what or if that 1476 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 1: was a real threat or why she called police. If 1477 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 1: that wasn't a real threat, she obviously had some issues. 1478 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 3: But if you're worried. 1479 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: About getting a pot of boiling water thrown at you, 1480 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: don't you just back up? 1481 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. I wasn't there. She was screaming at him. 1482 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 4: I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, right right, 1483 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 4: I mean she was going nuts. Now maybe the answer, okay, 1484 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 4: back up, or how about a taser. 1485 01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 3: It's a hard deal, I just you know. 1486 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 4: But yeah, so he's he was sentenced to twenty he'll 1487 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:04,479 Speaker 4: probably serve half of. 1488 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 3: That, you know. 1489 01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,839 Speaker 1: And and and this is to me, this is different, 1490 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: so different. You know a lot of people trying to 1491 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 1: draw comparisons to this and George Floyd, but this is. 1492 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 3: So different than that. You can't even mental health. 1493 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, now George Floyd probably had some mental health issues too. 1494 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1495 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll ask that of our friend to Sheriff 1496 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 1: James Mendrick. Also ask him what he's doing to uh 1497 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: to stump and uh, you know, how we can help him, 1498 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 1: and uh and and and and the like, because he 1499 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 1: is a really really good guy. All right, coming up next, 1500 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 1: what we're going to do here, So we're going to 1501 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,600 Speaker 1: talk to the sheriff and then uh, during at the 1502 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 1: end of that conversation, we want to set you up 1503 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 1: for tickets to go to the Chicago Auto Show. 1504 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 3: Chicago Auto Show is back. 1505 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 1: This is always one of those deals that kind of says, 1506 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 1: you know what, man, maybe spring isn't so far off. 1507 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: And Mark and Jim and the guys at the Chicago 1508 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 1: Automobile Trade Association are doing a really nice job of 1509 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 1: putting this thing together. As a matter of fact, Nick, 1510 01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: they're going to give us a drift car where you 1511 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 1: and I can take over some Chicago streets this year 1512 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 1: and cost some havoc. See if we can't get arrested. Well, 1513 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: tell you America's America's off track a little bit. This morning, 1514 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 1: we're having shutdowns. You know, your favorite to coffee shop, 1515 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 1: your favorite store might be closed today because people are 1516 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 1: standing up against ice and immigration reform and basically sticking 1517 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:19,879 Speaker 1: up for criminals. 1518 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 3: I don't know where this all heads. 1519 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:23,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where it leads, but I would like 1520 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 1: it to just tamp down a little bit so we 1521 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,560 Speaker 1: can get to the root cause of the protests in Minneapolis, 1522 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,840 Speaker 1: and that is that Somali fraud everybody's talking about. 1523 01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 3: We'll talk about that coming up. 1524 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,759 Speaker 1: We'll also talk about a new fed share being announced 1525 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,400 Speaker 1: by Donald J. Trump coming up here in just moments. 1526 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna have tickets for you to go to the 1527 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,880 Speaker 1: Chicago Auto Show. Our next guest, Nick a body of ours, 1528 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,640 Speaker 1: and we call him that because he came to us 1529 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: as a listener. He is the sheriff a DuPage County 1530 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 1: where he does a wonderful job just giving new life 1531 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 1: to people that have hit a hard place in their 1532 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 1: in their journey. And he's done such a good job 1533 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: with that. I wish that more people would recognize, you know, 1534 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 1: the way he works with people to say yes, this 1535 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,080 Speaker 1: guy would be a great choice for any higher position. 1536 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 1: And although he is in a high position as a 1537 01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,600 Speaker 1: DuPage County sheriff, he wants to be the governor of 1538 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 1: the state of Illinois. It's our friend, Sheriff James Mendrick, Hello, Sheriff, 1539 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to WLS. 1540 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 7: How are you guys doing this morning, buddy? 1541 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:25,800 Speaker 3: We are doing all right. I want to start right 1542 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:26,759 Speaker 3: away with the polls. 1543 01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I thought after twenty sixteen, when everybody 1544 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,240 Speaker 1: said that a very golden haired you know, finally tan 1545 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,760 Speaker 1: president could not beat Hillary Clinton. He had no way 1546 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 1: of winning. Blew those poles out of the water. I 1547 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: thought we were done with Poles, but yet we still 1548 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: cite him. The polls show that Darren Bailey has a 1549 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: sizeable lead. How do you dig into that? 1550 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 7: So the polls are created by Darren Bailey if you 1551 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,160 Speaker 7: look at that's the funny thing. If you look at 1552 01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 7: the most recent polls that have him up so far, 1553 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,040 Speaker 7: they're by his political team. So you know, Poles is Idland. 1554 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,719 Speaker 7: So when I first ran in my primary, they told 1555 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 7: me two weeks before the election, hey, you're down sixteen 1556 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 7: and a half percent, and then I won by thirty 1557 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 7: eight percent. And polls in the political world, they're made 1558 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 7: for two reasons. First, you want to have the scare 1559 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,880 Speaker 7: factor and the trending factor, where hey, look, I'm ahead, groupthink, 1560 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 7: just vote for me because no one else can win. 1561 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,640 Speaker 7: I'm ahead the polls. The second part they use for 1562 01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 7: the polls is for these political neophytes that have all 1563 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 7: these companies to make money. Hey you're down in the polls, 1564 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 7: but if you pay me sixty thousand dollars, I can 1565 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 7: fix that for you. Noah, do literature mailings whatever. So 1566 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 7: polls I've never really seen them be very accurate. They are, 1567 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 7: you know, I heard the questions that most recent poll 1568 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 7: was who would you prefer to vote for for Governor 1569 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 7: Darren Baylor or one of the other candidates. That's a 1570 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 7: great polling question. 1571 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I get that, but there's no mistaking 1572 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: that won. The guy has some backing, he's got the 1573 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 1: name recognition, and he's bigger in the south part of 1574 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 1: the state than he isn't the north. I understand that's 1575 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 1: why they've got Aaron Delmar as part of his ticket, right, 1576 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,920 Speaker 1: because they think that that will shore up the city 1577 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,599 Speaker 1: vote and then the southern vote. Do you have any 1578 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:22,639 Speaker 1: thoughts tell me of going forward? How you you win this? Well, 1579 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 1: first of all, okay, you win the gop nod. Now 1580 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 1: you're up against Pritzker. How do you tackle that giant? 1581 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 7: Just put me on the debate floor next to him, 1582 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 7: and I'll take care of Pritzker. Same thing. I'll be 1583 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 7: honest with you. I've done about I think six debates 1584 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 7: now so far, and not to brag, but I've crushed 1585 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 7: every one of them. There has been no challenger for 1586 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 7: me on the debate floor. I'm doing very well there. 1587 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,559 Speaker 7: I think that's obvious to the citizens. And I've been 1588 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 7: to eighty four counties. You can have all the money 1589 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 7: in the world, but you're going to spend it to 1590 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 7: touch people. And if you're not traveling like we are, 1591 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 7: you have to spend it on flyers, mailings, all that 1592 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 7: kind of stuff, and those aren't actually touching people. We're 1593 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 7: actually going to every single county in this state talking 1594 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:13,519 Speaker 7: to the people, touching the people and really kind of 1595 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 7: winning them over in that respect. You know, I had 1596 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 7: a big event yesterday. There was probably twenty different gun 1597 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 7: companies that were supporting us an event yesterday. There are 1598 01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 7: days that I go to five places per day and 1599 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,640 Speaker 7: the people, the actual people are who's going to win 1600 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 7: a race. All is subterfuge and polling, and you know 1601 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 7: a lot of it it's smoking mirrors. 1602 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 1: You know, you bring up a good point because when 1603 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,720 Speaker 1: I came back to work here a WLS, I told Nick, 1604 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 1: I said, the only way we can resurrect this radio 1605 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 1: station is we have got to go out and touch people, 1606 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,880 Speaker 1: go to these communities and meet people. And it does. 1607 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 1: It does make a big difference. Let me ask you, 1608 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 1: and you said eighty four counties. You've been to eighty four. 1609 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,200 Speaker 1: I think twelve of those counties went the secceed either 1610 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 1: to Iowa, or to Indiana, talk about the shape that 1611 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 1: Illinois is in, and what's your first thing to do. Okay, 1612 01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 1: now you're Governor James Mendrick, what's the first thing you 1613 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 1: do to get business and to get the economy and 1614 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: get Illinois back on track. 1615 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 7: Okay, I'm going to go with what I was sitting 1616 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 7: here waiting to get on the show, and I was 1617 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,800 Speaker 7: listening to all the ads and stuff like that, and 1618 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 7: what the big topic is right now is ice. So 1619 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 7: I want to explain very clearly, now this is my realm. Right, 1620 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 7: I have the second biggest jail in this state, you 1621 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 7: know where the second biggest county. Okay, the ICE raids 1622 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:43,280 Speaker 7: are wholly completely the fault of our governor, and as governor, 1623 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 7: on day one, with an executive order, I would dismiss 1624 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 7: the entirety of the sanctuary state. And here's why. So 1625 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 7: you know, I'd like to explain to people why the 1626 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,360 Speaker 7: raids are not Tom Holman's fault, They're not Donald Trump's fault, 1627 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 7: They're not the federal government's fault. They are the fault 1628 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 7: squarely of our governor who will not allow ICE to 1629 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,599 Speaker 7: have access to our correctional facilities. So, like I said, 1630 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 7: I went to eighty four different counties over the last 1631 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 7: eleven months. Do you know you could drive seven hours 1632 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 7: in Illinois and still be in Illinois. 1633 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 3: Which makes me sad. 1634 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 7: It's a very big state. But anyway, within that seven 1635 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 7: hour state, we have ninety two different jails and before 1636 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,639 Speaker 7: the sanctuary state was incepted. And this is the big lie. 1637 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 7: This is what people have to realize. And that's why 1638 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,760 Speaker 7: I love publications like you guys, because it's the only 1639 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,679 Speaker 7: chance the truth can ever get out. Because the big 1640 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 7: lie is that there's some sanctuary within the sanctuary state. 1641 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,720 Speaker 7: And here's the truth of it. What it does is 1642 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 7: it causes it forces the raids. The raids are because 1643 01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,680 Speaker 7: they don't have access to a jail. They have to 1644 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 7: go find their targets, the people that you know they're 1645 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 7: looking for for rape or murder. Now they have to 1646 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:02,040 Speaker 7: go into society to home depots where they work, or 1647 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 7: housing where they live, or wherever they're doing their daily stuff. 1648 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 7: They have to do that, and they have to go 1649 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 7: into Chicago. And now you know, you have this government 1650 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,920 Speaker 7: that's telling everybody fight with them, they're docing them, they're 1651 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 7: doing all this. So they have to a lot of 1652 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 7: risk to go in into a volatil you know, situation, 1653 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 7: and without the access to the jails, that's what they 1654 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 7: have to do. Now, if we were to say, let's 1655 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,879 Speaker 7: get rid of the sanctuary state, you know, I'm governor, 1656 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 7: get rid of the sanctuary state tomorrow. And now here's 1657 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 7: what it would look like. Now, ninety two jails are 1658 01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 7: going to call when they get somebody in for criminality. 1659 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 7: And mind you, I've never had anyone in my jail 1660 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 7: that was there just for immigration. You have to commit 1661 01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 7: a crime that you or I would go to jail for. Also, 1662 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 7: you go in, they say, okay, there's a detainer, the 1663 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 7: consult will talk to you. There'll be like a mini trial. 1664 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 7: They'll get a a federal immigration judge involved in the 1665 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 7: determine if there's a deport If there is, then we 1666 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 7: just hand them off to Ice. Now, if ninety two 1667 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 7: jails we're calling, oh here, let me throw out another 1668 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 7: status to show you the volume of this and kind 1669 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 7: of why this is occurring. We lost eight hundred thousand 1670 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,679 Speaker 7: people in Illinois in the last census, right, so eight 1671 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 7: hundred thousand of us that are sick of how things 1672 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 7: are going in Illinois, sick of regulation, taxation, crime, all 1673 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 7: that we left. Now we've been replaced by seven hundred 1674 01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:32,879 Speaker 7: thousand illegal immigrants. So take away eight hundred thousand residents, 1675 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 7: replace us with seven hundred thousand immigrants that will keep 1676 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 7: your senses because they're counted as the sens keeps your 1677 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 7: senses up, You get your congressional seats, all that kind 1678 01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 7: of stuff. But now instead of having eight hundred thousand 1679 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 7: people are complaining about government, you have seven hundred thousand 1680 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,679 Speaker 7: people who are dependent on government, socialism, anybody. That's where 1681 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 7: this is all going. But anyway, back to the sanctuary 1682 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 7: state with if ninety two jails with seven hundred thousand 1683 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 7: immigrants here, legally, if we're calling every day about our detainers, 1684 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 7: ICE would have to stop. Now this is where my 1685 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 7: expertise comes. Trusting you guys. I have a you know, 1686 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 7: eighty million dollars budget, five hundred and four employees, three 1687 01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,040 Speaker 7: hundred contractors. I supervise eight hundred people in a government 1688 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,400 Speaker 7: industry very much like ICE, and they would have to 1689 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:26,320 Speaker 7: stop all proactivity and go into a reactive transport unit. 1690 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 7: They probably have to add twenty percent to their manpower 1691 01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 7: just to come to ninety two jails across a very 1692 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,759 Speaker 7: massive state that it takes seven hours to get across. 1693 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 1: You just think about the cost of that alone. Yeah, right, 1694 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:41,560 Speaker 1: what that's costing taxpayers alone is ridiculous. Now Here, you 1695 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 1: got a lot of stature thrown at me. I got 1696 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,439 Speaker 1: to stop here for a second for traffic when I 1697 01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 1: come back. And this is James Mendrick do Page kind 1698 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 1: of shriff running for governor in the state of Illinois. 1699 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: I just want to get your your take. Nick and 1700 01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,640 Speaker 1: I are kind of odds, not a big fight, but 1701 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 1: over the way this shooting was handled in Sangamon County 1702 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:03,599 Speaker 1: with this Sonia Massy. What went wrong or right there? 1703 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 1: Can you kind of give me your version of this 1704 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,799 Speaker 1: as a law enforcement official of the highest regard? 1705 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I hate to say it, and I 1706 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,880 Speaker 7: hate the armchair quarterback my brothers and sisters in blue, 1707 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 7: but you know, we we brag about having you know, 1708 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 7: no uses of force since I've been elected. Well, I 1709 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 7: shouldn't say no use us no use of force complaints. 1710 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,040 Speaker 7: We've used force, but we've used it appropriately. But in 1711 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:28,840 Speaker 7: seven years to do Page kind of shriffs off the 1712 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 7: second biggest patrol division in the state. Since I've been elected, 1713 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 7: we have not had one use of force complain against 1714 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,759 Speaker 7: one road deputy by one citizen. So and the reason 1715 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 7: for that is de escalation training, mental health training. I mean, 1716 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 7: we have virtual reality helmets that you put them on 1717 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,439 Speaker 7: and you're autistic, right, you know, you can see how 1718 01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 7: bright and loud everything is. Right, you learn how to 1719 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 7: empathize with people in these conditions. And I think there 1720 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,519 Speaker 7: was a pretty large, in my opinion, lack of training, 1721 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 7: you know, with Sonya Massy just seeing that body cam 1722 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 7: as a patrolman, I really can't understand how that occurred. 1723 01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 7: I think that could have easily been de escalated. I 1724 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,599 Speaker 7: myself could have de escalated that situation just in doing 1725 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,559 Speaker 7: the job that I've been doing for thirty years. I 1726 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 7: don't think that officer, that deputy was properly trained and 1727 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 7: really knew how to handle situations like that. 1728 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,720 Speaker 1: And I understand and I fully appreciate that it's hard 1729 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,560 Speaker 1: to armchair quarterback, especially when you guys are doing a 1730 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: job that's tough. I mean, you look at what goes 1731 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,760 Speaker 1: on with ice officers in Minneapolis. I don't know who 1732 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,639 Speaker 1: in the heck would want to do this job anymore. 1733 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,640 Speaker 1: The public seems to and I know it's just a 1734 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 1: small portion of the public, but still you have to 1735 01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,640 Speaker 1: deal with these people all the time. But there you 1736 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 1: go again. I was right, Nick was wrong. Sure, we 1737 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 1: appreciate you. 1738 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 7: Hey, I just want to say one last thing, and 1739 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 7: you know what, here's the different thing about me because 1740 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 7: I have found out so many different ways of stealing 1741 01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 7: our tax payer money through government. I will still be 1742 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 7: a certified police officer two years as governor, and I 1743 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 7: will be in control of the state police. They're all 1744 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 7: going to go to jail for stealing money. And keep 1745 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 7: in mind, I'll be the first governor coming out of 1746 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:12,560 Speaker 7: his jail instead of going into it. 1747 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 3: Wow.

And what that has 1786 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 15: done is truly made an impact not only the lies 1787 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:57,080 Speaker 15: of the help those animals, but it shelters all across Chicago. 1788 01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 15: I mean, it speaks to the depth of commitment of 1789 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,559 Speaker 15: Pause and the people that are volunteering and are working 1790 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,840 Speaker 15: at the organization, because that has led to a ninety 1791 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 15: percent reduction in use in asia across the city of Chicago. 1792 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 15: And I got to give us a shout out.

It's such a good weekend. Well, 1862 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:10,479 Speaker 1: it's still not helping the markets out, Johnathan. Good morning, 1863 01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:12,200 Speaker 1: Palm great booth here. 1864 01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:12,360 Speaker 4: Ray. 1865 01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:12,679 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1866 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 13: Look, we're all dreaming of a nice sunny day out 1867 01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 13: on the lake with a boat right now. But the 1868 01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,320 Speaker 13: market's got a few other things on its mind, mostly 1869 01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:22,240 Speaker 13: AI and software stocks. 1870 01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 6: Here. 1871 01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,799 Speaker 13: What really hurt the market yesterday was this dramatic plunge 1872 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 13: in shares of Microsoft. Microsoft was down by about ten percent. 1873 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:33,200 Speaker 13: That's its biggest decline since March of twenty twenty. So 1874 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 13: we're seeing a lot of these software technology starks stocks 1875 01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 13: start to slow. Many of them, of course, had led 1876 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:43,080 Speaker 13: the market higher, But it's been all about earnings. And 1877 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 13: we did get some good news from Apple after the bell. 1878 01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 13: Apple and Is that topped their first one quarter earnings estimates, 1879 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:53,559 Speaker 13: record breaking iPhone sales. The stock is flat this morning, 1880 01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,639 Speaker 13: but you know, Ray, it's all about the bottom line, 1881 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,160 Speaker 13: and companies that are beating or exceeding expectations are getting rewarded. 1882 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,400 Speaker 13: Those that may feel like Microsoft are getting punished fast. 1883 01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,519 Speaker 1: Remember when Apple just had that big drop, precipitous drop. 1884 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,000 Speaker 1: It was COVID and Apple went down to I want 1885 01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 1: to say, it was like one hundred and I know 1886 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,720 Speaker 1: I bought in at one hundred and twenty dollars and 1887 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,760 Speaker 1: boy o, boy, I'm doing okay on that one. Yeah 1888 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,400 Speaker 1: I watched it, you know, and yeah, please please no, 1889 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,599 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I watched that one daily and it 1890 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 1: makes me smile. Other days it doesn't. But I look 1891 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 1: at this Microsoft thing. Maybe I should do the update 1892 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,360 Speaker 1: on my computer that I keep failing to do because 1893 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,720 Speaker 1: I know that that was not good news yesterday. But 1894 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,439 Speaker 1: where does this all lie with AI? Because these are 1895 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:38,160 Speaker 1: the companies that are promoting AI. Was AI overinflated at 1896 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:39,800 Speaker 1: the beginning or at the end of last year and 1897 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,920 Speaker 1: coming into this year, why wasn't. 1898 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,680 Speaker 13: It dethic got the IT ray. I mean, what you're 1899 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:47,000 Speaker 13: seeing is companies now have to demonstrate how AI is 1900 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,479 Speaker 13: going to be a functional part of their business moving forward, 1901 01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,840 Speaker 13: and you're seeing many in fact retool their entire operations 1902 01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:56,479 Speaker 13: all together. Tesla made a pretty, I don't want to 1903 01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:00,599 Speaker 13: say shocking announcement, but basically Tesla yesterday saying, look, we're 1904 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,720 Speaker 13: no longer a car company. Two of its cars, the 1905 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:08,280 Speaker 13: Model S and X, are being retired, and they're using 1906 01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:12,000 Speaker 13: that those workshops are using the factory space to now 1907 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:16,880 Speaker 13: get into the cyber cab robotaxi and they're optimist robots. 1908 01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,000 Speaker 13: So Tesla, you know, not unlike Rey I think Amazon 1909 01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:23,040 Speaker 13: did early pretty early on in It's Enterprise and It's Life, 1910 01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,759 Speaker 13: you know, completely rechanging its entire business model, and Tesla 1911 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,320 Speaker 13: will be a robotics company basically from now on. 1912 01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:31,719 Speaker 3: So is the Tesla car going away? 1913 01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:37,120 Speaker 13: The Model S and the Model X models are going away. 1914 01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,639 Speaker 13: The newer models they'll continue to make. But basically Elon 1915 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,080 Speaker 13: Musk putting major effort and billions and billions, hundreds of 1916 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 13: billions and dollars towards its cyber cab robotaxis. Those are 1917 01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:52,400 Speaker 13: those taxis with no driver altogether. And the I think 1918 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:57,439 Speaker 13: somewhat creep but very exciting optimist robots. Those are those 1919 01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 13: completely AI driven robots that could do anything from run 1920 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 13: your errands for you to eat. 1921 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 3: That's what we need, That's what we need future. 1922 01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, not only not only does half my 1923 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:09,680 Speaker 1: family want to kill me, but now a robot's going 1924 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:12,559 Speaker 1: to be coming after me. Great, great news, you know, 1925 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 1: I know that yesterday and and nobody really seems to 1926 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 1: be talking about the carnage that's going on in Iran. 1927 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,960 Speaker 1: And and I know it's a tricky situation too, when 1928 01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,559 Speaker 1: you have a theocracy like that and a supreme leader 1929 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,280 Speaker 1: and then you've got uh, you know, the the the 1930 01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 1: president of Iran. That's a sticky, sticky situation. But the 1931 01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 1: amount of people that have risen up to protest and 1932 01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:37,040 Speaker 1: that have been killed. Take note, America, We're not doing 1933 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:40,640 Speaker 1: so bad here. But now Trump said that something's going on. 1934 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:43,400 Speaker 1: There's an armada. It's it's on its way to Iran. 1935 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,160 Speaker 1: We don't know what that means. Hold on for the weekend. 1936 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,479 Speaker 1: But that did drive oil up yesterday, didn't it. 1937 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:50,880 Speaker 13: Yeah, indeed, Ray, I mean, it's something to keep in mind. 1938 01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:54,519 Speaker 13: I made all the kind of economic turmoil and questions 1939 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 13: about sticky inflation and government spending here at home, the 1940 01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 13: geopolitical situation really has not gotten much easier. And as 1941 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:05,599 Speaker 13: you said, the US is assembling, and this is President 1942 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,799 Speaker 13: Trump's description a massive armada in the Middle East, basically 1943 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 13: sending a signal to Iran and basically warning Iran that 1944 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,800 Speaker 13: had better shape up when it comes to making a 1945 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,439 Speaker 13: deal on its nuclear program. So we could see oil 1946 01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,320 Speaker 13: prices move higher, but already nothing is going to top 1947 01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 13: gold and silver this year. I mean both down a 1948 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 13: little bit this morning. But these precious metals have gone 1949 01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 13: absolutely parabolic in recent days. Some of it has to 1950 01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 13: do with dollar weekness, some of that has to do with, 1951 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 13: as we said, unrest about the Middle East and maybe 1952 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,400 Speaker 13: unrest about the economy, but all time highs just in 1953 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:43,200 Speaker 13: the last forty eight hours for gold, silver, copper as well. 1954 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:43,720 Speaker 6: Well. 1955 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 1: I tell you, Nick, this might be a weekend to 1956 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 1: go steal some wire a little side hustle, all right, 1957 01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan honeg our friend from a capitalist pig. He's going 1958 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:54,960 Speaker 1: to be on with Stuart Parney here into a couple 1959 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,720 Speaker 1: of minutes on Fox. I want to go back to 1960 01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 1: oil for a second. I noticed that Tommy from Mtex 1961 01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 1: on the show The Landman was fired from that company. 1962 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 1: Do you think that will drive oil prices higher or lower? 1963 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,400 Speaker 13: That's going to Ray. I don't really have. 1964 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,439 Speaker 1: A feeling I'm an oil man now because I watch 1965 01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: that show. 1966 01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 3: That's it. 1967 01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 1: Just so you know, consumer confidence, we talk about this 1968 01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,720 Speaker 1: all the time, and again, you know we just we're 1969 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,559 Speaker 1: talking with a friend of ours who's running for governor 1970 01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,680 Speaker 1: and talk about polls, how they can be manipulated by 1971 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:29,679 Speaker 1: how a question is asked. The consumers in America seem 1972 01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:31,639 Speaker 1: to think that the economy is not getting any better. 1973 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 1: And I think that this is the year that will 1974 01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:35,960 Speaker 1: tell the tail of the tape as to whether it 1975 01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 1: does or not, given some of the provisions in the 1976 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill. But right now it's low and that's 1977 01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:42,560 Speaker 1: a problem coming up to the midterms. 1978 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,720 Speaker 13: Well, I mean a little bit of an interesting economy, Ray, 1979 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:47,919 Speaker 13: I mean, look, the market is just a couple percentage 1980 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 13: points off of its all time high. Inflation we know 1981 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,760 Speaker 13: has come way down since the Byen era. No it's 1982 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,599 Speaker 13: not at two percent, but it's barely at three percent. 1983 01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:01,799 Speaker 13: Yet consumer confidence, as you said, is at its lowest 1984 01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:05,000 Speaker 13: level in more than a decade. In fact, consumer confidence 1985 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:08,720 Speaker 13: now raise lower than it was during the pandemic. So 1986 01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 13: something's going on with the everyday Americans, whether so you know, 1987 01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:16,919 Speaker 13: whether it's perhaps uncertainty about AI or the stickiness of inflation. 1988 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,880 Speaker 13: We've often lamented that the purchases you remember as being say, 1989 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,840 Speaker 13: thirteen ninety nine, all seemed to be eighteen ninety nine now. 1990 01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,320 Speaker 13: But everyday Americans seem to be very apprehensive about the 1991 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:30,799 Speaker 13: economy moving forward. With that consumer confidence number the lowest 1992 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,320 Speaker 13: since twenty fourteen. 1993 01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:36,960 Speaker 1: When companies like Amazon talk about sixteen thousand people being 1994 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 1: cut right, these are the retailers that a few years 1995 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 1: ago we're hiring like crazy. What does that signal to America? 1996 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 1: Because I mean, I think going forward, this is the 1997 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 1: way people are going to shop. I don't like it. 1998 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 1: I'd rather go to a small, family owned store today. 1999 01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,560 Speaker 1: But some of them are closed because they want to 2000 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,200 Speaker 1: defund ice. But what do you think this means for 2001 01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:01,400 Speaker 1: the work force when it comes to these big, you know, 2002 01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 1: fulfillment center companies where you shop online and they drop 2003 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:06,559 Speaker 1: it off at your house. In the middle of the 2004 01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:09,080 Speaker 1: night and the porch pirates have it stolen by six. 2005 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:14,280 Speaker 13: Ray and look in places that automation can be integrated, 2006 01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,680 Speaker 13: in places that AI can be integrated. This will be 2007 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,360 Speaker 13: the year that you start to see companies, big ants, 2008 01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,599 Speaker 13: what particular Big of course they've got the capital doing that. 2009 01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:28,639 Speaker 13: And this announcement from Amazon cutting sixteen thousand workers at 2010 01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:32,720 Speaker 13: the same time doing what investing in AI artificial intelligence. 2011 01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:34,960 Speaker 13: So you know, it's it's been hot in the markets 2012 01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:36,559 Speaker 13: for years now. Ray and I think this is going 2013 01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:39,240 Speaker 13: to be the year that we really see it being 2014 01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:44,320 Speaker 13: integrated into companies big and small. Another company, Pinterest cutting 2015 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,320 Speaker 13: fifteen percent of its workforce. That's seven hundred jobs. Not 2016 01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 13: necessarily due. 2017 01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,519 Speaker 1: To AI, but no, it's because that lets because that 2018 01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:52,880 Speaker 1: platform sucks. 2019 01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,960 Speaker 13: Well. You know, they say AI is a part of it, 2020 01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,080 Speaker 13: and we're seeing more and more, you know, mass layoffs 2021 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 13: with AI part of it too. All we need me 2022 01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,200 Speaker 13: now is the freedom for the economy to create new 2023 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:08,200 Speaker 13: jobs and in the free economy without government on your neck. 2024 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 13: That happens all the time. 2025 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,920 Speaker 1: Buddy, We will look for you on Stuart Varney Show 2026 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:14,000 Speaker 1: here on Fox coming up.
