1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's our town. There's some things going on

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: here that are a little well, a little nefarious, if

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: you will, we're going to talk about those today. Glad

4

Speaker 1: you're here on the Big eighty nine. We do the

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: Pledge of Allegiance each and every morning at this time,

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: and this is where we welcome in Oliver from Winnebago,

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: and we say, God Bless America.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: I applied your allegiance to the flat of the United

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: States of America and to the Republic. For a witches stands,

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: one nation under God, indivisible with ritterberty and justice for all.

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: God bless amir.

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: God Bless America. A nice, nice job, young man, Oliver

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: from Winnebago. You want your kids to be on the radio.

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: We could take there a pledge and put him in

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: part of the pledge page if you will here three

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: wine two five nine one eighty nine hundred. You know, Nick,

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: you and I we were standing outside the other day.

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: You were having a camel burning one down. You had

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: those fancy nails going, and we looked up at the

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Tribune Tower from our vantage point over here at

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: the NBC Tower, and we just started to do the

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Pledge of allegiance on our own, looking at the looking

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: at the flag. I don't know why, but every time

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: I do the pledge of allegiance, I turn into Charlie Daniels.

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I pledge you did sound like to the flag and

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Hazel, get me a whiskey.

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why I do that, but I love

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: the man. I had a chance to meet him on

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: several occasions. But I don't know why that is. Boy, Buddy,

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I tell you, we're going to talk about the weather

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit. We'll do that

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: at the six twenty this morning, and what we will

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: do is talk about parents and kids and babysitters and

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, childcare and who's going to watch your kids

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: because they're probably going to be home from a school tomorrow.

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: What I want to start today with the Chicago and

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: a couple of things that are going on in this town. One,

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: just a little program note for you. At eight thirty

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: five this morning, we're talking with Paul Rutherford. And Paul

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: is the chairman of the Cook County Crime Stoppers And

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: the reason why we're talking to him is because I'm

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: immensely disturbed by this Woodlawn mother of five, Kiera Jenkins,

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: who was shot and killed on her way to church

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: service at five o'clock Sunday morning at the New Missionary

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Baptist Church in Woodlawn. Because I don't know why, but JB.

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Pritzker hasn't sent out a statement on her death. Brandon

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Johnson hasn't set out a statement on her death. I

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: haven't heard from Black Life Matters on her death. Here's

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: a mother of five going to worship and nobody's talking

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: about it. Where are the protesters. Where are the people

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: saying not in my neighborhood. Where's the soy boy in

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: the beanie cap with the man boobs holding an AR

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: fifteen that I'm sure he doesn't know how to use,

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: saying I'm going to protect my neighborhood because these are

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: my people, because it doesn't fit a political narrative, and

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: that just bums me out, And not that I want

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: people writing. Don't get me wrong, but we say this

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: all the time, especially on this show. Nick. I always say,

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: and you know that, somewhere in Chicago, within the next week,

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: the next month, the summer months, somebody, a kid, an aunt,

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a mom, a dad, somebody that was just walking to school.

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Best of the best was shot by somebody, and it's

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: going to go unnotice, and we're not going to let

64
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: that happen. There's a ten thousand dollars reward out for

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: information leading to the arrest and then conviction of this

66
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: person that killed this woman. I don't pretend to know

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: anything about her, but she seems like she was just

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: living her life and doing her thing. We ought to

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: be able to be safe in our town, yet several

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: times we're not. And if it doesn't cause a stir

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: because it doesn't fit a political motive, you just get

72
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: forgotten about. And that is wrong. That is absolutely wrong.

73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Nick Al Right over there on Ray Stevens, I want

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: to talk about this thing that's going on in Naperville

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: because I don't know what to make of it. And

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: you can chime into three one, two, five, nine, one

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: eighty nine hundred Naghborville City Council members. We're in a

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: packed house and they were opposing a data center, this

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: one on yesterday, actually went on Tuesday News broke yesterday

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: talking about how they wanted to not have this keris

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Critical it center to be built in their neck of

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: the woods. They were worried about pollution. They were worried

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: about the space that would take up, they were worried

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: about what it looked like. Boy, I wish they would

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: have had this meeting before they put up that carolon.

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: That thing is hideous. Oh come on, and isn't it

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: falling down? I just remember being out there on that

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: pond in Neighborville at Centennial Beach with Gena and we

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: were paddling around in one of the paddle boats. I

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to be there, and I kept looking at

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: that thing and I'm like, that looks like it was

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: sided with something from ABC siding. And I mean no

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: disrespect to ABC siding. But I digressed back to this

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: IT center. So what they wanted to do was they

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: wanted to construct two big buildings, two two hundred and

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: eleven thousand square foot data center buildings with a seventy

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: two megawatt IT load. Now what that means to me

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: is that means big building's a lot of power usage, right,

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: And it reminds me of that the old song by

100
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: the Polecats. I'm an overload generator, oscillator make a circuit

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: with me, remember that, Michael. I don't know why they

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: just good. Dig that one out. It just popped in

103
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: my head. But you know, in one part of me says, okay,

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: if you want this technology that you have in your phone,

105
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: everybody's got their hand in their phone and they're using

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: this technology. You've got it. You're running your computers. Everything

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: needs a place to go for this cloud storage and

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, especially on what we call And

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: I only know this because I drive this every day.

110
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: I drive I eighty eight. That's where I come in

111
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: and out. I'm sure that if you'd run fifty seven

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: or you run two ninety four, you see these data

113
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: centers as well. But years ago they call it the

114
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: high Tech eighty eight Corridor. And once you get out

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: by Eola Road, you see these data centers all over

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the place. And listen. I know that this is a

117
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: big industrialized area, right it's the third largest city in

118
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: the United States of America. But they've put up so

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: many of these around my house that it has become

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: a little obtrusive, if you will. When it comes to

121
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: I used to go down Built Road to get to

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Yola to come here in the morning, and I would

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: see what I call the Hartford Deer. I mean deer

124
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: that were scorable bucks. Well they're not there anymore because

125
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: they've got no reason to be there because they put

126
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: up a data center. Even the coyotes are running around,

127
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: they got nowhere to go. I get that there's progress,

128
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: but what do you do? And I think that it's

129
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: good on Neighborville to have said, you know what, not here,

130
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: because we know that Aurora will put anything up. Give

131
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: it to the Aurora. They'll do anything. Right if you

132
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: haven't been to Aurora lately to see what's going on

133
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: with a lot of these big fulfillment centers, and then

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: this center for degenerate this casino that they've put on Farnsworth,

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: it really is absolutely ridiculous. And then new firehouses because

136
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: you have to have a certain amount of protection close

137
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: to all of these things. And Neighborville City Council voted

138
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: this down. And you know what, it does keep a

139
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: little bit of the uniqueness of that town intact. But

140
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: does it do it at the behest of earning money for.

141
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: The tax base? Well, my question with all these data centers,

142
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: because Naperville's not the latest town to turn them down.

143
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: There was one in the news a couple of weeks

144
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: ago as well. But we're not going to have the

145
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: power for these facilities under Governor Pritzker's plans, right, So

146
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: how can you even think about building these facilities here

147
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: when you know there's not going to be enough power?

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Well, we know in what you're talking about, there's a

149
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: JB's Green Energy Initiative, which is the solar in which

150
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: is the windmills that are not producing enough electricity to

151
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: be able to power these grids. And that's the problem.

152
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: When we talk to our friends from CUB they're always

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: bringing up the fact of well what is this going

154
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: to do to raise the cost of your right electric?

155
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, along with their plan there in Naperville, whatever

156
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: had to have I think twenty four diesel generators. I

157
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: like diesel, I do too, but that's excessive.

158
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: It is, you know, but they tried. And who knows

159
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: why they wanted to be in Neiyhbyville. I don't know

160
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: if there was a tiff district or if there was

161
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: something that made it more appropriate and attractive to them

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: than Aurora. And again, you could put anything in Aurora.

163
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want, you could put up a

164
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and eleven thousand foot launder ray shop and

165
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: they'll let it in Aurora because they won't turn down money.

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing is is with all of these

167
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: businesses that are at least in where I live, it

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: doesn't help your taxes at all.

169
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: Taxes still go up.

170
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: If we have a casino out there the size of

171
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: the casino you have in Aurora, how do your taxes

172
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: should be numbed. That's what happens in Rosemont. Rosemont creates

173
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: so much money as far as entertainment tax that there's

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: hardly taxes that have to be paid by the residents

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: because that's how it's supposed to work. Speaking of Rosemont

176
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: seventy years old, and they don't look a day over

177
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: sixty nine. I think it's the ozempic. You know. I

178
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: don't know, and I know there's going to be some

179
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: parents that just go ray, what in the hell are

180
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: you talking about? You know the rules, you got to

181
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: abide by the rules. You're a lawn order guy. You

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: and Nick your law and order guys. You support what's right.

183
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: But this thing that's going on, and I don't have

184
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: all the info, but it broke last night a major

185
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: news story. Arlington Heights wrestling coach and his staff have

186
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: been told to hit the road, right, to hit the road,

187
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: because I guess there's been called in a question some

188
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: resident residency eligibility issues and some things a little below

189
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: board when it comes to recruiting practices. And I say

190
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: to myselfself, there's so many schools that do this right,

191
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: and whether it's you know, what's going on at public schools.

192
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: People will move to a district just to get their

193
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: kid into a good football program, and a lot of

194
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: times it's, you know, they move out, they get a

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: they get an apartment in this area, their kid plays football,

196
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: and then they move back to where they got to go.

197
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine named Sed he did this.

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: He moved his kid out to Batavia from an area

199
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily the best and brightest area to raise

200
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: a kid in. And his kid did well, and he

201
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: did well, and the family decided to stay. And I

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: thought that was nice. It was a nice story. But

203
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: here with this wrestling coach, his name is Joe Rubslock,

204
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: they say he's got to go because they found that

205
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: an investigation that some of these kids were being recruited

206
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: yet they didn't live in the district. And I think

207
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: that's what the problem is, right, if you're going to

208
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: recruit a kid, or if there's a kid you want, well,

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: like my friend that I was talking about earlier, we

210
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: put up residence in the town, so that makes it okay, right,

211
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: But it happens a lot. And I think that the

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: flip side of this coin nick is that you've got

213
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: the private schools that pay a lot of money for

214
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: kids to come from sixty miles away to play at

215
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: certain schools. And I don't want to get in a

216
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: name calling because it is what it is. Right. They

217
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: can do it. It's within their reason to do it.

218
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: Why not. It makes you a winner and you win

219
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: a billion, state champions whatever sport you're talking about. But

220
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I just wonder if the fire of this school coach

221
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: is something that a USA may ninety listeners believe in,

222
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: or where do you fall on this? Because it goes

223
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: on and I get it, but you know, I think

224
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: that it's you know, sports and schools. It's just sometimes

225
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: the wild West. And I hate to be the guy

226
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: that says, well, everybody's doing it, so this guy just

227
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: happened to get caught. But John Hersey High School, you

228
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: were making the news this morning speaking of schools and

229
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I was talking earlier about this

230
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: weather map that we've been looking at here. It is

231
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: a big, big mess. I kind of feel sad that

232
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: a lot of that snow isn't making its way here. Right.

233
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: We're just going to get I think the cold. Well

234
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: we had snow last night Northwest Suburbs. Did you would

235
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: you get about? That's as much I got nothing, not

236
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: a zero zip. You know, as a matter of fact,

237
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: we need a little bit of moisture to tamp down

238
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: this dirt and this dust on the roads full of

239
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the salt. Buddy, you come in, you come in this morning.

240
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't care what road you're on, and you can

241
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: tell me if you're seeing this. I know you are

242
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: three one two five nine one eighty nine hundred, but

243
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: you're driving in and around Chicago. It looks like you're

244
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: on an East Texas road with a dust trail behind it, right,

245
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: And you better put that regenerator on your little dashboard

246
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: there to recirculate the air, because it's just it'll it will,

247
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: And I do not take well to this road salt.

248
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: It gets me sick. So I'm probably not going to

249
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: be here next week. The good thing is is I

250
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: sound like crap and I feel good, So I could

251
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: probably be snowmobiling. I just won't be here.

252
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: But I think they had some road salt out on

253
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 4: a mirror yesterday.

254
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know who did that here. Yeah, but we

255
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: have cold coming to Chicago, and that means problems for

256
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: moms and dads with kids. And I know that it's

257
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: up to me to watch your kids or at least

258
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: help you pay for it, right, because that's what we do. Now, Well,

259
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: who's going to fun childcare? Hey, you had the kids.

260
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: It's not up to me to pay for it. Right

261
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: When when my kids were little, you know, Gina worked,

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: I worked, you know, by the time they were five,

263
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: we were just like, here's the thing, do not use

264
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: the oven if we're not here. Otherwise you're fine. You know,

265
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I bought a gun safe. Everything was cool. What do

266
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: you do with your kids, Nick, because I'm probably almost

267
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent sure school's going to be canceled for

268
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Well, so please don't bring them here. Uh well, no,

269
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: don't do that.

270
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 4: I will literally lock them in a green room.

271
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: I'll paint all their nails.

272
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: They're going in there with a bucket and like some

273
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 4: popcorn or something or.

274
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Or we can do this if you're new to their

275
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: show and if here's your food. If you're new to

276
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: the show. We call a Knick's Kids Walker in Texas Ranger.

277
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: They're boys, boys, they're men the way kids should be.

278
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we do this. I'd be all right with it

279
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: if we could put your kids in the conference room

280
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: with Stephanie's little boy and they can whip him into shape.

281
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the Thunderdome man. Well, she's she's

282
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: got the kid watching Golden Girl. There's not one thing

283
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: that a five or six year old should be doing

284
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: watching the Golden Rings. But it's not my kid to raise.

285
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching Barney Miller learning life lessons? Yeah,

286
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: from Abe to go Fish. But there we talked. We

287
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. It's going to get dangerously cold.

288
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: We know that that's tough for people that are homeless

289
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: or as we say now unhoused in town. I'm told

290
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: that some of the Higatt hotel chains here are open

291
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: for people that are homeless.

292
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: Is that right?

293
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Why not go in there? JB. Pritzker wants to

294
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: do stuff for everybody, So just go Hey, I'm with JB,

295
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: so you probably end up having to do some kind

296
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: of alternate daycare for him tomorrow if they don't go

297
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: to school.

298
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: I suspect that Mickey will work from home in the morning,

299
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: and as soon as I can leave here and get there,

300
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: I'll take over parenting duties and she'll go to.

301
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Why don't you come up north with me this week

302
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: and or do something with me and we'll get your

303
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: man card back and she can hang out with the kids. Okay, deal, Tom.

304
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: You were asking earlier about a phenomenon known as exploding.

305
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 4: Or yeah, exploding trees.

306
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Exploding trees. Yeah, and you know what I call bs

307
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: on this, But go ahead and tell me what you

308
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: want to know about.

309
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: It, all right?

310
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: Well, I had seen this on social media, and it

311
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: looks like the New York Post is writing about it too.

312
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: There's this guy on Facebook called Max Velocity, great name,

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: but he's like an amateur meteorologist, and he postes this

314
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: thing about a risk of exploding trees up north, farther

315
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: north Wisconsin, most of Minnesota, some of the Dakota stuff

316
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: like that.

317
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: And I did not.

318
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: Realize that trees when it gets super super cold will

319
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: literally just kind of snap open or burst open.

320
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: Well, they don't snap open. But why why is that?

321
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: You're one of the smartest guys I know? And what

322
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: are trees? What a trees consist of? Well, moisture, right,

323
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: and when it gets cold they freeze. Yeah, when it

324
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: gets warm, they expand. And it doesn't even need to

325
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: get warm, it's just the sunlight. But I think it's

326
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: more I think that I think that's just something going

327
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: around the internet that is kind of a joke. Nick,

328
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: you want to chime in on this, because you've been

329
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: We do have it in our Fox News rundown the

330
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: exploding trees. Yes, yeah, I call bs on it three

331
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: point two five nine.

332
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: Here is the quote from the National Forest Foundation. SAP

333
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: contains water, so it expands when frozen, putting pressure on

334
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: the bark, which can break and create an explosion. There

335
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: are numerous historic and current observations of trees exploding due

336
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: to extreme cold.

337
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: They're not exploding, they're expanding, they're cracking. I mean, I mean,

338
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: it's like it's not like, you know, we're in Bay

339
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: Roots or in Iraq and a tree just explodes and

340
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: a deer gets taken on right.

341
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: Right, or like a pager a pager goes off on

342
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: your belt.

343
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: It's like a forest ied.

344
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: He's right, that's right, Oh my god.

345
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

346
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a rush song called that?

347
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: You know?

348
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: There's on rest in the forest.

349
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 4: There's trouble with the trees.

350
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: The trees are all exploding and the deer ignore there. Please, Yeah,

351
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: exploding trees. Maybe we can send some of those to Minneapolis.

352
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: By the way, let's talk with Ryan Schmells Fox News

358
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,240

359
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: time they saw Tom a picture of Tom. For some reason,

360
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: I was not expecting what I saw of Tom with

361
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: a little kissy emoji from Missy and I just responded,

362
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: he's a beefcake, you know, beef bag, Missy. We appreciate you.

363
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: Just put a video of Nick Glee.

00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: Should have gotten married Tom.

365
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no.

366
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: You know, those opportunities in life.

367
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: No, he loves his wife. That's what you do. You

368
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: find your person, Nick, You find your person and you

369
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: stick with that person. And if you don't, you find

370
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: somebody else and you move on and you stick with

371
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: that person. And if you don't work with them, you

372
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: find somebody else and you stick with that person. Nope,

373
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: that's what I've done, worked out for me. Cost me

374
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: a couple of houses. But you get over that.

375
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: You get over that.

376
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: All right? Is conference making progress? As we look to

377
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: fund the government. You're gonna hear a lot of a

378
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: chatter on the left talking about, well, you know what

379
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: we're going to do. We're going to defund ice. That's

380
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. You want us to sign this resolution,

381
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: that's part of what's in this. So let's find out

382
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: what might be in the package. What we're looking for

383
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: here is we we get to the end of the month.

384
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: That's what the deadline is. We join our friend from

385
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: Fox News Radio, Ryan Schmeltz. He's got the latest heir

386
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: to the ground on Capitol Hill. Hello, Ryan, good morning, Hey,

387
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: good morning. Are you y give me the latest on this?

388
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: I know you know, So what are some of the

389
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: stumbling blocks to get a deal done.

390
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 5: Well done, pier that there's going to be too many

391
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: You know, this might end anti eclematically, but there is

392
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 5: this little bit of a hold up right now over

393
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 5: E fifteen gas compliance. And you have some geoppears from Illinois, Iowa,

394
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 5: Missouri who want the gas blend, which is important to

395
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 5: corn states, to be They want to bill pretty much

396
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: to allow E fifteen to be sold year round added

397
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 5: to the government funding package. That's one of the hold ups.

398
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 5: We know there was a late night meeting last night

399
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 5: on Capitol Hill with GOP leadership in some of those lawmakers.

400
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: But the other thing you have here too is you know,

401
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 5: the thing people are going to watch for, at least

402
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: is how this Homeland security bill is going to shape out.

403
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: There's a bill in here to fund homeland security. They're

404
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: going to vote on that separate from everything else. And

405
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 5: essentially we're going to see which Democrats are going to

406
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 5: vote in favor of funding the Department of Homeland Security,

407
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: which ones are going to vote no in protest of ice.

408
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: So you you think, I mean, do you? I mean

409
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: saying the anti climatic would lead me to believe that

410
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: we should get a deal done here as long as

411
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: some of these people are going to have well.

412
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 5: We have a deal done. For the most part. This

413
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: E fifteen thing is still a is still kind of

414
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: a hold out here, But for the most part, we

415
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: are expecting a vote today. The bills have been completed,

416
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 5: they've been negotiated, and when, if, and when they pass.

417
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 5: Pretty much all that has to happen next is the

418
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: Senate comes back next week votes on the final round

419
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: of these packages, and then did the government's fund until

420
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: the end of September. So yeah, this very well could

421
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 5: be could be a pretty anti climatic process.

422
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: And you know, right now, I'm wondering why we booked you, Tom, Why,

423
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, what the hell?

424
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: Well, well, we could talk about the ice funding.

425
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: For no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Here

426
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: I want to I want to just pivot with you

427
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: for a second. Because Ryan works in Washington. He's in

428
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: the rooms. He knows what's going on. A lot of

429
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: times when things like this are going on, and when

430
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: chaos ensues, he's right there talking to lawmakers as this

431
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: stuff happens. I want to ask you what's Capitol Hill

432
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: saying about the Clintons right now, because they defied Congress

433
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: in contempt of Congress, and many Democrats yesterday went along

434
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we need to hear it from the

435
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: Clintons when it comes to what they know about the

436
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: guy that Bill hung out with quite a bit. And listen,

437
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: we know that there's pictures of Trump, we get that,

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: but Clinton seems to have been more involved here. What's

439
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: the temperature on the hill with that? That's a little

440
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: bit more exciting than me than one of this Mamsey

441
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: Pamsey government is going to shut down?

442
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it does look like the Clintons are

443
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: probably going to be held in contempt of Congress next

444
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 5: week when this gets put on the floor. And you

445
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 5: saw yesterday there were numerous and a number of Democrats

446
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: who voted yes in favor of the Bill Clinton contempt

447
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: of Congress resolution and the Hillary Clinton contempt of Congress

448
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 5: resolution to send it to the full floor for a vote.

449
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: We've heard several lawmakers or at least Democrats who are

450
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 5: you know, bare minimums are not flat out nose yet.

451
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: So yes, it's very highly likely this thing passes next week.

452
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: I think there'll be more votes, and this is judging

453
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: off of how the vote went yesterday. There will be

454
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: more more votes in favor of the Bill Clinton content resolution.

455
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: The Hillary Clinton one might not get as many.

456
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: Between Yeah, because I didn't see her in the hot tub.

457
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Thank god, I even have gone blind. Ryan Smells from

458
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Fox News Radio joining us here. Listen, man, if I'm

459
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. If I get tossed in jail, the first

460
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: thing I say to the jailer is listen, man, Hey,

461
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: whatever you do, don't let Hillary visit. Bad things happy. Okay. So,

462
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: with the knowledge that you have there on Capitol Hill,

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: what is the consensus among Democrats and Republicans as far

464
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: as we need to know everything we can about this

465
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: ridiculousness that is Epstein, these files and who knew what

466
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: because this whole thing Democrat, Republican, Trump or Clinton, if

467
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: you partook in this and you're culpable in the trappicking

468
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: of young girls for what we think went on at

469
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: that Epstein Island. What are they saying on both sides

470
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: of the island. Are people open to having all this

471
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: out there? Do they kind of want this to go away? No?

472
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: I think for the most part, people are still very

473
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 5: passionate about this. I think it's the how they're going

474
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 5: about it that's still very divisive. You know, there were

475
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 5: still plenty of arguments yesterday. There's still people who think

476
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: that you know, they don't. They think that one side

477
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 5: is trying to appease Trump, the other side is trying

478
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 5: to twist some of the things to make President Trump

479
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 5: look bad and try to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein.

480
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 5: And we got to keep in mind that there's still

481
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 5: no hard accusations or criminal allegations against either President Trump

482
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 5: or Bill Clinton when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Yes,

483
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: both men are accused of having a relationship with him,

484
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 5: of being close with him, but you know, the knowledge

485
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: that they knew about jeff Epstein's operations and what he

486
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 5: was doing. You know, there's nothing that's been proven as

487
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 5: of right now that would say that either one of

488
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 5: them has committed a crime or anything like that.

489
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, buddy, we appreciate the expertise this morning, Ryan Schmells,

00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: just so we can continue to put copious amounts of

506
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: assault on the roads here in Chicago. Ray six inches

Speaker 1: know how much snow they got, but there's a lot

509
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,200

Speaker 3: Living through medicine. But jbrisky.

536
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: Ay Pritzker and his office is inkd a new deal

537
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: with a lawyer in the Chicago Bear Stadium talks. And gee,

538
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: let me just tell you this. If you don't listen

539
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: to wlsam eight ninety all the time, you miss, you

540
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: miss a little, you miss a lot. Let me turn

541
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: that off because I want to play this governor of

542
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Mike Brawn yesterday on the WLSA eight ninety airwaves talking

543
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: about how he can get the Bears over to Indiana.

544
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: We are working hard to bring the Chicago Bears to

545
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: the Hoosier State so they can really see what a

546
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: great place is to have a business. We'll work hard

547
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: to do it. Let's get it across the finish line.

548
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: You know, once the fighting is done, and you know,

549
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: mommy and Daddy move on with their life and you

550
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: get the kids this day or this day, and then

551
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: the dust settles, everything's going to be okay. And if

552
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: the Bears did get a divorce from Chicago and went

553
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: to Indiana at the end of the day, who really cares.

554
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd rather be in Arlington Heights, to be

555
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: honest with you. Sure a lot less steel mills. Not

556
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: that I have anything wrong, you know, agains steel mills, right,

557
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: but that that plot of land which was the Arlington

558
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: International Race Course is fabulous and you could go up

559
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: there and have a picnic a party when there's not

560
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: a Bears game, going on. I don't know what we've

561
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: done on the North side with your Chicago Cubs, and

562
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: I think that is kind of what the Bears are

563
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: looking for. There's a revenue stream there that they miss

564
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: by not having this kind of stuff at the Soldier Field.

565
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: But they hired a new lawyer, and I guess they

566
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: called two. They got learner in row because they know

567
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: a lot of feelings are going to be hurt.

568
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 4: Well, now do they do personal and emotional injury?

569
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Well, I have punitive damages? The question hear me? It

570
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: hurt me? The move hurt me. It injured me, and

571
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: I and I want recourse. No, they did.

572
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: Brndon Johnson's still working.

573
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Can you get my can you not hear me? Cease?

574
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: We what do we ninety four to seven? Over here?

575
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Is this the morning? We're all talking at the same time.

576
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do next? The quiz on showbiz?

577
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 3: No?

578
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Nick, they hired the Briskman brothers. I was kidding you,

579
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: Oh Briskman and Briskman. Yeah, it's who.

580
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: Did you use lev.

581
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: Just hang on a second. So they they're working with

582
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: this game Steve or Jarris. He's a partner with a

583
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: big new York based law firm Wheel Gotcha and mangus

584
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: or meng meng your meng uh. This is all in

585
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: response to the Bears showing up in Indiana with Roger

586
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: Goodell and the Big Bear brass because they're serious now

587
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get money somehow from the Illinois government. Listen,

588
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's incoming upon us to pay for

589
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: stadiums to be built. Make a user text, put that

590
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: on my tickets. But you were gonna say, Nick.

591
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: Well, Brandon Johnson, though, is still fixated on this, this

592
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: plan to have the Bears along the lake front and

593
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: happened because he was celebrating the playoff success, you know,

594
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: and kind of has pushed that into the narrative of well,

595
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: because the Bears belong here in Chicago on the lake front.

596
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: You know what I think? Did it for the Bears?

597
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about it. I mean, you know when we

598
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: started the Bear Prayer, when the Bears were rowing to

599
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: the Bears going a tear. Now, you can't win them all, right,

600
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: But a lot of the Bear Prayer wasn't just centered

601
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: around whether or not the Bears win. It was on

602
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: health and people not getting hurt, which I thought the

603
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Bears had a pretty good season, you know, in both aspects.

604
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: But who do you see showing up down there with

605
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: Spike Lee sitting in a skybox, you know, not with

606
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: the people, not with his flock, but the father Flagger

607
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: was showing up there. And I'm not saying, but maybe

608
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying yesterday in Davos, Switzerland, and this takes me back.

609
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Every time I hear the word Davos,

610
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, my twin sister Patty would

611
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: always have General Hospital one. And I'm not gonna lie

612
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: to you. I got sucked into that thing like every

613
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: other young kid did. Who can lare and all of that,

614
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: and you know, Robert Scorpio, they were always off to

615
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: Dobbos for something. Every time I hear Davos, that's what

616
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: I think. But yesterday, yesterday, it was amazing because Trump

617
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: got up there. And listen, if you sold stocks off

618
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: the day before yesterday, you're a moron. Because if you

619
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: think that the United States was going to go to

620
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: war with Greenland, or that NATO was going to somehow

621
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: form an alliance against the United States and France was

622
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: going to take us to task and it drove the

623
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: stock market down. If you sold because you were worried, shame, shame,

624
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: shame on you. Everybody's so fickle. It's absolutely ridiculous. But

625
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Trump stood up and he had several things to say yesterday.

626
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: But one of my favorite things was when he talked

627
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: about Canada. Let's know, him talking about the fifty first state.

628
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 6: Here, Canada gets so out of freevious from us. By

629
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 6: the way, they should be grateful also. But then I

630
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 6: watched your Prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful that

631
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 6: they should be grateful to us. Canada, Canada lives because

632
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 6: of the United States. Remember that mark the next time

633
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 6: you make your statements.

634
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it is our largest national forest.

635
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: Luca Brazzi swims with the fishes. He sounds like a

636
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: mob boss there. Let me play it, Let me play

637
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: it back and see. But let me just play it

638
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: back here and see if you see it. Hear it

639
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: differently the way he said it on the second time.

640
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: You only exist out here because of me, you're born.

641
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: Don't ever go over my daddy again.

642
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: You'll so Scot Scott Perscent is there and Gavin Newsom

643
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: shows up and he's with Alex Soros. Okay, Alex Soros

644
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: famously his daddy owns all those radio stations across the river,

645
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: right one that I used to work for him. When

646
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I heard that sourrous was, you know in the play

647
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: to buy It, that's when I quit, because you've got

648
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: to stand for something or you fall for anything.

649
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 6: Right.

650
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: But here is a Scott percent calling I'll just listen

651
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: to this. We are working hard. That's the wrong one

652
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: stand by.

653
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 7: I think it's very very ironic that you know, Governor Newsom,

654
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 7: who strikes me as Patrick Bateman, the sparkle beach Ken

655
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 7: maybe the only Californian who knows less about economics than

656
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris.

657
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: Sparkle Beach can.

658
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: Find the Patrick Bateman comment even more interesting.

659
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's just like.

660
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: He's called him a serial killer.

661
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so here is here is Gavin Newsom now

662
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: in a retort to to what our boss the Kingpin said,

663
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: here's a Gabon Newsom who was there again with George

664
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Soros's kid, God help us all.

665
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 8: It was remarkably insignificant, even by Trump standards. I was

666
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 8: rather curious, and there was borish parts of it, but

667
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 8: those were not even that consequential, including name chucking people

668
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 8: he likes, people he didn't like. So you know, I

669
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 8: just I was not honestly, it was just I was

670
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 8: a little disappointed.

671
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: It was a little non place.

672
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: You know who's disappointed. And listen, you were gonna say, Nick.

673
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: What does he want him to start a war? Was

674
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 3: news Com saying.

00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: This is the this is the president of peace. And

712
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I saw a video of you. You were there and

713
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: you were doing your regular give and take with Mayor

714
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson, and you bring facts and figures and fierceness

715
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: when you show up, people have got to take notice

716
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: of you. But you zoomed in on his socks in

717
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: his shoes. Could you just explain to me how that

718
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: all went about.

719
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 9: Yes, we were at the PBC, I mean PBS beating

720
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 9: and we were sitting there and I couldn't believe what

721
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 9: I was seeing when I saw those SpongeBob socks because

722
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 9: because he had just when we he had just tried

723
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 9: to before before I spoke, told me what I had

724
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 9: to talk about. So I had just told him, you

725
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 9: can't tell me what to talk about. I can talk

726
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 9: about what I want to talk about, you know, because

727
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 9: he was trying to we were you know, he knew

728
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 9: we're there and told me prett be because she didn't

729
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 9: show up. Or Sean Harding, the Chicago CPS board president,

730
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 9: he didn't show up either, So I thought that I

731
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 9: was waiting for all three of them to be in

732
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 9: one meeting. Oh yeah, we was gonna let them have it.

733
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 9: But yeah, before I got this, uh, got out there

734
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 9: to speak, he was telling me what I can and

735
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 9: can't say and what I can and cannot talk about.

736
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 9: So I had just let him have it then. And

737
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 9: then when I sat down, I saw his socks and

738
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 9: them shoes, shoes, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

739
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 9: You know, I had to.

740
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: I've had that, I've had a chance to to speak

741
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: to you, to meet you in person, and that you know,

742
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't strike you as the person who suffers fools

743
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: gladly when it comes to somebody telling you what you

744
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: can ask and what you can say. This is a

745
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: Danielle Carter Walters. Danielle, we talk about the neighborhoods, right,

746
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: and this, uh, you know, we could even tie this

747
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: into Minneapolis a little bit. You know, Black life matters

748
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis is saying we want ice out, blah blah blah.

749
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: But here in Chicago, the historically black neighborhoods have been

750
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: hurt by immigration policies that have taken funds away from

751
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods and concentrated it on welcoming centers. Insurance iPhones,

752
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: things like that that nobody will ever admit, but we

753
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: know these things are fact, and they've taken it from neighborhoods,

754
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods that that you stick up for and you

755
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: support the neighborhoods you're from. What is the temperature from

756
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: your constituents, the people that are there living in these neighborhoods,

757
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: to maybe make a change in the way the city votes.

758
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 9: Well, I think now they're ready to listen, especially after

759
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 9: those high property taxes, because we are getting so many

760
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 9: call I mean messages and emails now that they are

761
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 9: ready to listen because everything we have warned them about

762
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 9: is happening so and especially you know with the crime

763
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 9: they are seeing when we talk about how the crime

764
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 9: prevention money how never makes it to our community, and

765
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 9: we talked about the nonprofit these pastes, because we are

766
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 9: getting ready to really show these state pastors how much

767
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 9: money they're getting for crime invention that never makes it there.

768
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 9: So when I think they're ready to live, I know

769
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 9: they are ready to listen because we get so many

770
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 9: emails and messages now because they're seen that everything that

771
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 9: we are saying that we are we have warned them

772
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 9: about this happening. And all the Brendan Johnson and the

773
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 9: Democrats have is feelings. They get you with emotions, but

774
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 9: we are showing facts. So I think that they're yeah,

775
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 9: it's is really happening. And I'm excited because I believe

776
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: that it's going to be too big to read with this,

777
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 9: especially this Marror election.

778
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: Can I ask you? Could you you mentioned pastors and

779
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: money going to pastors, and I know that sometimes money

780
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: gets misappropriated, and you said it yourself. You know, they

781
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: say they're doing good in the hood, as I like

782
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: to say, but they're not. Would you put any names?

783
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: Would you feel comfortable telling me who some of those

784
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: pastors might be?

785
00:38:54,719 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 9: Well, I know Michael Eatings, he he he's I can't

786
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 9: I just forgot the church. But his name is Michael Edie.

787
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 9: He's one of them by the Flaggate Uh.

788
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: It's Flager, I mean Flagger's never he's a grand standard.

789
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: What does he do? What does he do for the community?

790
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get off on a tangent

791
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: on these guys, but you know, Nick and I we

792
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: we do outreach from time to time. We go to

793
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: Brighton Park, we go to Inglewood We work with the

794
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: Chicago street pastors. We work with a guy named pastor

795
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Donovan Price. Here's a guy that's doing the job, but

796
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the funding that these people do because

797
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: he's not kissing anybody's ass and and and that's that's

798
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: a problem. Danielle Carter Walters is here. There's a change

799
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: of making a way in Chicago, and she's leading the charge.

800
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you get on board now because this

801
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: is a young lady who is a fierce and she's smart,

802
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: and she is not afraid. And that is that is

803
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: the trifecta when you want to go up against these

804
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: people in city Hall that just want to bark back

805
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: at you and tell you you're you're no good, You're

806
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: no good. Danielle, I want to ask you because again

807
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: hear all about you know, oh, we got to get

808
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: the guns off our street and there's mask men running

809
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: around and they call the ice CASTOPA. But we know

810
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: in Chicago that we have a huge gang problem, we

811
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: have a huge gun problem, but it's all with people

812
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: that are that are you know, not following and are

813
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: biting by any laws. This is a young lady's Kira Jenkins,

814
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: that was on her way to the New Baptist Missionary

815
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Church in Woodlawn. She's a thirty's she's got five kids.

816
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: She's a beautiful woman from what I can tell, just

817
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: going to worship. She gets shot and nobody's talking about it.

818
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about it. It did because it doesn't fit

819
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: some political narrative that has got to just drive you nuts.

820
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 9: Yes it does, and that's just not it's so many people,

821
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 9: that's just it's from the from the new year, and

822
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 9: let's just talk about the new year. That first week alone,

823
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 9: I believe was twenty nine people shot. Three people had

824
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 9: lost their lives. And that was just the first week

825
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 9: alone that people was not wasn't talking about. So now

826
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 9: fast forward to now we have so many more people

827
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 9: that have lost their lives and nobody is talking about it.

828
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 9: I just really want to say this too. It's uh.

829
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 9: We're working with this mom. Her name is Stephanie Yuribo.

830
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 9: She want justice for her son, Prince Jamao Sullivan, who

831
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,560

832
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 9: illegal alien two days before Thanksgiving, and nobody has gotten

833
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,080

931
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: Dave Hotburg text line, Dodge Ram truck dropped its rear

932
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: end on Farmsworth transmission fluid in the left lane. Be careful, well,

933
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: now that is painfully local news. How do you lose

934
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: your whole rear end? It happens, especially with Dodge books.

935
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: That's how that's how the mayor lost his rear end.

936
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: Was of Rosemont was ozembic. Winter storm watches have been

937
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: expanded across the country, and I'm talking if you have

938
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: not seen this in living color like on the forecast. Man,

939
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: you know here in Chicago we're going to get some cold.

940
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: Nick.

941
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: I know you've got some snow up by you. We

942
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: call from Union Grove. They got about an inch up there.

943
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: Up by me out in the western roads, we got

944
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: three to five inches of sault on the road. You

945
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: can't drive in. It's like there's a dust trail following

946
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: the old nova on the way in the work right,

947
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, my goodness, this really stinks. But you

948
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: got the salt here. I don't even know if they're

949
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: going to have to put any more down because the roads,

950
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 1: I would say, are treated. But what are the plans

951
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 1: because many schools, and let us know, if your school's

952
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: been your kid's school, your grandkids school has been called off.

953
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Now Nick, when they do a day like this where

954
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: I know your kids aren't going to be at school tomorrow,

955
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: what do they do when they don't have a chance

956
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: to bully other kids? Do they bully each other? I

957
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: mean basically? But what is is it like an in

958
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: home learning day?

959
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 3: Do they do that?

960
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: They don't do that?

961
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 3: By us?

962
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: Thank god, thank god, because you know what you as

963
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: a kid, remember, remember those days you'd live for and

964
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: you'd watch Ray Rayner on WGN, and you'd watch the

965
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: scroll on the bottom of TV, and there it was

966
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: Community Unit School District West Chicago and boom Man. We

967
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: didn't have the balls to be able to go to

968
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: school because it was so cold and snowy. So what

969
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: I would do is I'd go out to the garage

970
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: and fire up the skidoo and ride all day. Is

971
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? Yeah?

972
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,479
Speaker 3: Well, And it's interesting because already we are seeing now

973
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 3: on the school closing website, you get the robo call

974
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: or do you go to the website, we get a robotext.

975
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 3: But there's already a couple of no public schools listed yet,

976
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 3: but private schools like St. John the Baptist Catholic School

Speaker 3: in Winfield, they're saying they're going to be closed tomorrow

978
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: because of the weather.

979
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: Saint John the Baptist Church where I was caught chasing

980
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,320

Speaker 1: it's super cold out. What's wrong with Nick? I don't know.

1075
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: I want to play a little bit of Ken Griffin.

1076
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: Ken Griffin, who famously has moved from Illinois down to

1077
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: Florida talking about how the change has come after the

1078
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Here, please listen.

1079
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 11: You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every

1080
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 11: day under the Biden administration to look at what new,

1081
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 11: crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a

1082
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 11: problem that didn't even exist. I mean, our our constant friction.

1083
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 12: At Citadel with the government across Unteen different aspects of

1084
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 12: our business was exhausting. And to have that literally end

1085
00:53:55,719 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 12: on one day, Election Day, just gives you so much energies.

1086
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 12: I'm shore to go back and build your damn business.

1087
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: See now that's a guy that's affecting commerce and jobs

1088
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: and things like that. And you know he left famously

1089
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: Illinois because it's so hard to do business here. Thank you, JB.

1090
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: But you know, do you find that it is easier

1091
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: to do business now, Well, it's easier to do business

1092
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: because they eliminated some of the restrictions on the mortgages.

1093
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 10: It would be easier to do business if FHFA Chairman

1094
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 10: Paulty would eliminate the Sandra Thompson and loan level price

1095
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 10: adjusters I've been talking about for three years on the radio.

1096
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 10: When she did it, Paulty's been in the position, I

1097
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 10: think since March. I think he was appointed in March,

1098
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 10: and he still hasn't done it. So it would be

1099
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 10: easier for our listeners. It will be less expensive for

1100
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 10: our listeners to get mortgages. If William Pulti FHFA f

1101
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 10: h FA Chairperson.

1102
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: Pultafo, no, take it easy, just.

1103
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 10: Eliminated the loan level price adjustice. It would it would eliminate,

1104
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 10: It would drop rates between a quarter of a point

1105
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 10: to a full point, and that would really free things up.

1106
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 3: So I wish they would get to that.

1107
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 10: And stop looking at like mortgage documents of elected officials

1108
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 10: and just look at the loan level price adjusters that

1109
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 10: Sandra Thompson put into place.

1110
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: Nobody voted on it.

1111
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 10: She wakes up one day under a DEI cloud and said,

1112
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 10: We're going to make things level for everybody and hit

1113
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 10: the people with great credit charging more for interest. You know,

1114
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 10: you charge them more for a mortgage, which translates into

1115
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 10: higher interest rates.

1116
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 3: And nobody's and the people in Washington want.

1117
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 10: To talk about everything else, but just eliminate the damn

1118
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 10: things that she put in haphazardly.

1119
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: One day, she woke up to day, we're going to

1120
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 3: do this, but there's a.

1121
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: Pushback on Trump getting rid of her, right, people are

1122
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: likely she's gone, yeah I.

1123
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 10: Know, no, no, no, she left when Biden lost the election.

1124
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 10: She resigned. Okay, okay, I'm thinking of somebody else. I

1125
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 10: think you're thinking of the missile whisper in my ears

1126
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 10: fed chair. I'll also tell me about this as well.

1127
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure, well we can't talk about that.

1128
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: Where are we at with with mortgages right now, as

1129
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: far as you know, because I know that it fluctuates

1130
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: all the time. So if you're writing alone for somebody

1131
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: first time home buyer or whatever, good credit, Yeah, you know,

1132
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: tell me one of your stories. What are people paying

1133
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: for credit right now?

1134
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 10: Before all this Greenland michig Os with Trump trying to

1135
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 10: invade everything, the.

1136
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: Rate it's done now, that's all.

1137
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just saying rates were trending to the fives. Okay,

1138
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 10: we were in the mid to low sixes, and we

1139
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 10: were trending to the fives, and then he drops this

1140
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 10: load of crap on everything, and then we jump up

1141
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 10: a half a point. Okay, So we went from low

1142
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 10: sixes to mid to high sixes in the past two

1143
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 10: weeks just because of all this uncertainty and hopefully things

1144
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 10: calm down, like I was selling.

1145
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 3: My borrowers who had who want to refine it. So

1146
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, let's just wait, right.

1147
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 10: Whenever something like this happens, it's usually a kick in

1148
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 10: the groin to the system. Let it calm down like

1149
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 10: it always done right. And I'm waiting for the ten

1150
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 10: year to open up today. So you know, you're still

1151
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 10: in the sixes under certain circumstances, you'll start with the seven.

1152
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 3: You're not in the gates like we were a year ago,

1153
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 3: which is a positive.

1154
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: So what happens today after the mishi gosh which is

1155
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,320

1247
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 10: So when anybody says that they've got a rate of

1248
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 10: two and a half two point six two, I'm like, oh,

1280
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: seller Hole ray where you could all float off into space.

1281
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 1: According to one conspiracy theory, because the Earth is he

1282
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: losing gravity. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to

1283
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the

1284
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could

1285
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: result in millions of deaths and injuries. Proponents of the

1286
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: bizarre theory believed a leaked secret document had been leaked

1287
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: in November of twenty twenty four, revealing NASA's Project Anchor

1288
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: to prepare Earth for an event so catastrophic that it

1289
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: reported forty.

1290
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 3: Million people on Earth would die from the impact. The

1291
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 3: theory states that on August twelfth of twenty twenty six, have.

1292
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Been around some of these people. Maybe it's not a

1293
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: bad idea.

1294
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 3: At exactly eight thirty three Chicago time Earth will lose

1295
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 3: gravity for seven seconds. Turns out this is another case

1296
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 3: of social media mischief. Is Internet sleuths have found no

1297
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 3: trace of any leaked document or mention of Project Anchor. Meanwhile,

1298
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 3: NASA has pointed out that the theory itself demonstrates a

1299
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 3: fundamental misunderstanding of how gravity works.

1300
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, obviously it's been to bunks, so I

1301
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: have to sell it, but you know, for a little

1302
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: cleansing it probably wouldn't be bad. So I'm gonna sell

1303
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: and or buy. I guess I guess I go both

1304
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: ways on that. I wouldn't mind floating nothing the earth.

1305
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: You know what, some days you think you feel like that?

1306
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 3: Just in time for Groundhog Day, which is right around

1307
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 3: the corner, right, Yeah, we you and I should go

1308
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 3: to Woodstock for that, or maybe are there groundhogs in Rosemont?

1309
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Hmm? You know, we have to expand our horizons a little.

1310
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I think we could go out to see punk Satani,

1311
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Woodstock or whatever the heck wouldstock with that? Is that

1312
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: what it is?

1313
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 3: That's what the rats call.

1314
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I could get my buddy Steve

1315
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Gabors out there to pay for it. I've got a

1316
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:44,840

Speaker 3: Shut up, it's a groundhog.

01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: Shoot it.

1323
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 3: The People for Eating Tasty Animals has announced its latest

1324
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 3: attempt to try and get the groundhog club in Punk

1325
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 3: Satani one of those things. It's almost as bad as

01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 3: beaver castor.

1327
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 4: What pa donator you referred to PETA employees as pedophiles

Speaker 4: in a.

1329
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 3: Past PETA has previously suggested replacing Phil with a gold

1330
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 3: coin toss.

1331
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: The only time that PETA stuff is good is when

1332
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: you take it for a cold at Peda light.

1333
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 4: Good for hangover.

1334
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 3: This year, PETA is suggesting using a giant hologram of

1335
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 3: Phil Stupid. The Animal Rights organization believes that Phil and

1336
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 3: his family is a kind of noways married, they're.

1341
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 3: to enjoy a life in the wild. Yeah, well sure

1342
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 3: we there, you go sell that all day you say,

1343
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 3: don't blame you. We head off to Belgium town of Duffel.

1344
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 3: January second of this year, police were conducting a sobriety checkpoint.

1345
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: What a car crept up to the officers. The driver

1346
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 3: seemed unusually short and young, which follows as such because

1347
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 3: he was, in fact a twelve year old son of

1348
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 3: the front passenger seat. It's a front seat passenger.

1349
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Twelve year old is old enough to drive.

1350
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 3: It was his dad who admitted to police quote, I

1351
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 3: had drunk too much and so I entrusted that the

1352
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 3: car would be okay in my son's hands to get

1353
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 3: me back home.

1354
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Is that what the old man said? I've drunk too much?

1355
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Or I drank too much. I drunk drunk too much.

1356
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 3: My kid, don't go. Mom and two siblings were in

1357
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: the backseat.

1358
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: The mom drink too much too.

1359
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: We don't know, well, no, apparently not. The boy was

1360
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 3: fine for driving without a license. Dad was charged with

1361
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 3: entrusting the car to someone not fit to drive it.

1362
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 3: And after the traffic stop, Mom drove the rest of

1363
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 3: the way home.

1364
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 4: So she just thought it was like a funny bit

1365
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 4: or something.

1366
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna sell that, you know, yeah, have

1367
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: a little respect for the law. Don't drink a drive.

1368
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: That's the way we do it. We do it by

1369
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the letter of the law around here. Depending on what

1376
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: Trump talking about Canada and uh, how Canada that you know,

1377
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: you got to watch your watch your mouth boys, because

1378
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: we've you know, we let you survive.

1379
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 6: Kennedy gets a lot of freebieus from us. By the way,

1380
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 6: they should be grateful also, But then I watch your

1381
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 6: Prime Minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful that they should

1382
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 6: be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the

1383
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 6: United States. Remember that mark the next time you make

1384
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 6: your statements.

1385
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: No, Scott Bissett was there and he was calling a

1386
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom out who was hanging out with the Sorels. Klin.

1387
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 7: That's always I think it's very very ironic. That you

1388
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 7: know Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman Sparkle

1389
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 7: beach Ken maybe the only Californian who knows less about economics.

1390
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 3: Than Kamala Harris.

1391
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: That is saying something right there. Let's bring on our

1392
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: friends Stephen Moore, he worked on the Trump economic team,

1393
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: still does from time to time Heritage Foundation. And we'll

1394
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: get to all the ways you can reach out to

1395
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Stephen the more in just a little bit. Steven, Welcome

1396
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: back to WLS.

1397
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,719
Speaker 13: Hey, Ray, good morning. I didn't think you me anymore.

1398
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh you know what you were? Welcome on the you.

1399
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Nick and I haven't had a

1400
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: vacation in four days. If you want to come fill

1401
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: on this show, we'll let you. Can. I ask you, sir?

1402
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: You know Trump as well as anyone score give him

1403
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: kind of a grade if you will, on what you

1404
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: thought of the job that he did on the world

1405
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: stage in Switzerland. Because a lot of time this is

1406
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: much ado about nothing, but not this time.

1407
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, let's start with the big picture

1408
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,480
Speaker 13: that this past year and the economic improvement has been astounding.

1409
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 13: And as you know, I wrote the book at the

1410
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 13: beginning of the year called the Trump Economic Miracle, which

1411
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 13: I wrote without laugher and predicting that we'd have a

1412
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 13: really strong economy in twenty twenty five. But it even

1413
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,959
Speaker 13: defied my wildless expectations. I mean, this was a blockbuster

1414
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 13: year for the economy. I know people saying, well, Steve

1415
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 13: Moore doesn't know what state costs, or you know what

1416
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 13: it costs, you know for housing and so on. Look,

1417
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 13: there are some problemaries in the economy, but by god,

1418
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 13: the latest number just came out yesterday for the fourth

1419
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 13: quarter GP almost five and a half percent growth. That's

1420
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 13: something we haven't seen in a long, long, long time.

1421
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 13: The let's see, the second quarter growth was almost four percent,

1422
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,759
Speaker 13: the third quarter growth was four and a half percent,

1423
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 13: and that fourth quarter growth was five and a half percent.

1424
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 13: That's just incredible growth. We've seen low unemployment rates, the

1425
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 13: average four to one k planets up. We've got an

1426
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 13: all time high on the NASDAK, the S and P

1427
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 13: five hundred, the Dow Jones gas prices. What are you

1428
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 13: paying there in Chicago for gas these days?

1429
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, if you hit a good gas station, you

1430
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,879
Speaker 1: can be somewhere. I would say in the two sixties,

1431
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm running a diesel right now. So I'm kind of

1432
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: paying attention to that. But that is a that is

1433
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: a big difference. That's over probably what would you say,

1434
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Nick Abuck, twenty five differences time last year. Yeah, so

1435
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: it's making an impact. And Stephen, you know, Stephen, you

1436
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: know that if you take the ridiculous taxes that Illinois

1437
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: puts on a gallon of fuel, you'd be under two

1438
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon here.

1439
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 13: Right, And so you know that's like a cut for people.

1440
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 13: It puts more money in your wallet. You know, the

1441
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 13: old kind of metric we used to measure inflation was

1442
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 13: what are you paying at the gas pump? And gas

1443
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 13: prices are down thirty and forty percent, and you know,

1444
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 13: remember what was in twenty twenty two, I think it was,

1445
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 13: you know, the gas price went up to four five

1446
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 13: dollars a gallon. So these are amazing. It's an amazing

1447
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 13: recovery over the wreckage from from Biden and more to come.

1448
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 13: I mean, I think we can get I'm with Larry

1449
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 13: Kudlow on our left er. I think we could see

1450
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 13: five percent growth in twenty twenty six. We were the

1451
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 13: envy of the world. We're growing faster than any other nation.

1452
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,919
Speaker 13: It's not just rich people are getting rich. Median income

1453
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 13: adjusted for inflation for the average family who except twenty

1454
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 13: five hundred dollars. So this idea of affordability. You know, look,

1455
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 13: I understand people are angry about the prices of some things,

1456
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 13: but if you look at overall, people have more affordability

1457
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 13: today than they've ever had. So very positive about things now,

1458
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 13: I think one of the kind of unfortunate. Look, Trump's

1459
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 13: speech yesterday was triumphant. As you know, he took a

1460
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 13: victory lap, and why shouldn't me. The American economy is

1461
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 13: doing much better than any of the European countries or

1462
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 13: the Asian countries. I you know, the whole thing was

1463
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 13: kind of clouded over by the whole hullabaloo about what's

1464
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 13: going to happen in Greenland. But you know, look, he

1465
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 13: told the rest of the world leaders exactly the right message.

1466
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 13: If you want to grow, if you want to become prosperous,

1467
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 13: and if you want to help your citizens get higher

1468
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 13: incomes and move people out of poverty, do what we're doing.

1469
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 13: Reduce your taxes, reduce your regulations, promote you know, all

1470
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 13: forms of energy, not just these stupid green energy substitues,

1471
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 13: et cetera, et cetera. And by the way, he should

1472
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 13: give that speech, probably in Chicago or Springfield, because there's

1473
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 13: one place that doesn't get this message.

1474
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: He probably will give that speech in Iowa because I

1475
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: know he's going there directly from Switzerland. Jade Vance takes

1476
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: the Baby Blues to Minneapolis. You know, I know when

1477
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: I I'm on your your website, Unleashed Prosperity. You have

1478
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 1: your pillars of what the five pillars right of what

1479
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: can make this economy stable? Money lower, no tariffs, low flats, ACX,

1480
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: rein and spending and repeal regulations. Let's talk about the tariffs.

1481
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: How how much does it drive you crazy every time

1482
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: this guy talks about tariffs. You saw what happened with

1483
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: the market. Of course, it was uneasy day before yesterday

1484
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: because of the talker Greeland. Then we were talking about

1485
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: two hundred percent tariffs. The market sells off, comes back yesterday,

1486
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: it's back today. How do you beat into this guy's

1487
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: head because I know you you you talk with him,

1488
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I know you you you hang out there at mar

1489
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 1: A Lago. How do you say, hey, these tariffs things.

1490
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 1: How do you stay away from that?

1491
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 9: Well?

1492
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 7: Listen.

1493
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 13: I mean, it's funny you should ask that, because you

1494
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 13: know when I go as you know, I was with

1495
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 13: Trump about six weeks ago in the Oval office, and yeah,

1496
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 13: that's when he called that.

1497
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: Did you give him this number?

1498
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 3: Tell him to call We miss him.

1499
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 13: I keep trying. But anyway, you know, the first thing

1500
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 13: he always says when he's seen it there Steve Moore

1501
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 13: e the great economist, but like my tariffs, and I say, no,

1502
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 13: I'm not a fan of your tarists. But the fact that, look,

1503
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 13: the truth is Trump is what look. And I know

1504
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 13: people have strong opinions one way or the other about Trump,

1505
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 13: and I've always said, the only person who can ever

1506
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 13: beat Donald Trump is Donald Trump. And he is in

1507
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 13: many ways his own worst undemy. But I have to

1508
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 13: say he is the single greatest negotiator I've ever seen

1509
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 13: in my life. I've never seen anything like the way

1510
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,799
Speaker 13: he negotiates with Europeans. He has them begging for mercy,

1511
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 13: you know. And so he has used terrorists and I'm

1512
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 13: not a tariff guy, but he's used the threat of

1513
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 13: tariffs to force other countries to do things that are

1514
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 13: America's interest. And it's for the most part, it's worked

1515
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 13: out pretty well. I mean, he's a phenomenal agreements with Japan,

1516
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 13: with China, with Canada, with Mexico, with the Europeans. Now

1517
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 13: they don't like it, they bitch and complain about it,

1518
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 13: but boy did they roll over. And so that's what

1519
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 13: a president should do. He's putting America first and he's

1520
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 13: flexing America's economic muscle. So for the most part. Now,

1521
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 13: the way the big court cases, you know, Ray the

1522
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 13: Supreme Court decision will come out really any day or

1523
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 13: week now, and I do suspect that Trump will lose

1524
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 13: in court because the president does does not have un

1525
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 13: level authority under the Constitution to raise taxes and tear

1526
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 13: us our taxes, and so some of that money is

1527
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 13: going to have to be returned. But you know, look,

1528
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 13: I feel very very good about where America is right now.

1529
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 13: I think most people would agree.

1530
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: Americans are getting ready to start filing their taxes right

1531
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 1: and tell me what that looks like for the average

1532
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: everyday American that's got a house, a card that maybe

1533
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: he bought last year. You're gonna be able to write

1534
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: off a lot of that a tax if it's American made,

1535
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: or so I'm told, what will you see as far

1536
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: as returns this year, is this going to be a

1537
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 1: win for America for Americans?

1538
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 13: You better believe it. It's a really important point because

1539
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 13: people come up to me all the time say, hey,

1540
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 13: Steve Moore, as I have bax neeers, and you said,

1541
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 13: you know, I'm going to save all this money on

1542
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 13: taxes and I haven't seen it. I said, well, wait

1543
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 13: a minute, start wait till January, which we're in. Now,

1544
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 13: people are going to start to see in their next

1545
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 13: paycheck a reduction and the amount of taxes withheld. It's

1546
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 13: going to be like a pay raise for people. We

1547
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 13: estimate this year the average family will save somewhere between

1548
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 13: two and three thousand dollars just on their taxes. Now

1549
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 13: that's that's a pretty big bonus that people will receive

1550
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 13: and it's going to be felt in the months ahead.

1551
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 13: So it's a it's a big deal. By the way,

1552
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 13: every single Democrat in Congress, which means virtually every number

1553
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 13: of Congress and the Senate from Illinois voted against giving

1554
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 13: people these the taxes. To remind people of that taxes

1555
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 13: to go up by twenty five hundred dollars this year.

1556
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Got to remind people of that, and you've got to

1557
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: remind people that if you get money back, that's because

1558
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: of these changes and the affordability thing. I'll tell you this,

1559
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats have done a good job of using affordability

1560
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: to their to their credit.

1561
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 13: Right now, you know what states in the country have

1562
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 13: the high prices in the least affordability.

1563
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one I'm in.

1564
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 13: Yeah, Illinois, California, and New York, New Jersey. Anybody who thinks,

1565
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 13: oh gee, I'm gonna I'm gonna elect Kevin new some

1566
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 13: I mean, I love that little comedy back and forth

1567
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 13: between I call Gavin Newsome governor her Joel because he

1568
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 13: never has a in the ken. But you know, look,

1569
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 13: you're gonna people, seriously, we're going to elect the governor

1570
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 13: of California, who has wrecked that state has the highest

1571
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 13: cost of living, people have been millions of people are

1572
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 13: leaving California. And by the way, how do you screw up? Look,

1573
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 13: I can understand why people might want to get out

1574
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 13: of Illinois. I grew up there. I love the state.

1575
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,959
Speaker 13: But my god, the weather isn't so great in Chicago.

1576
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 13: But you know, California, it's a slice of heaven. Yeah,

1577
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 13: And yet people are leaving through this time in history,

1578
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,440
Speaker 13: more Americans are leaving California than going to California.

1579
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: People will wake up. I mean, I know he's handsome

1580
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: and everything, but you know the fields won't get you

1581
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: so far.

1582
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 13: Steven Moore, By the way, I know Gvin Newson personally.

1583
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 13: He does remind me a little bit of Bill Quitton.

1584
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,759
Speaker 13: He's very charming. I you know, you know, I'm swimming

1585
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 13: doing the hot tub. But his policies are unbelievably crazy.

1586
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, buddy. We'll send everybody to committed.

1587
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 13: Don't forgot me in twenty twenty six like you did

1588
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty five.

1589
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Brother, unleash prosperity. You are welcome any time. Pal. You

1590
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: know you're one of our guys. All right. So I'm

1591
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: on this app in my neighborhood, call the next Door App,

1592
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,560
Speaker 1: and everybody talks and they kibbitts and they talk amongst themselves.

1593
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: And the ladies on Pinnacle Street crew called Gina the

1594
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: other day and they say, who is this this Italian

1595
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: guy that raised running down the street yelling his name

1596
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: out Help me Tom Bortino. And I said, well, you know,

1597
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: the market to the market just hit the skids day

1598
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: before yesterday, and it's kind of become a joke that

1599
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: I Yell helped me, Jesus helped me, Tom Portino. The

1600
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: market goes down precipitously. I mean, it's been on a

1601
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: record score lately. What do you tell investors when this happens?

1602
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: Because there were people that were losing their minds thinking

1603
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: we're going to war with Greenland.

1604
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 3: I gotta sell, sell, sell.

1605
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: You don't sell on the worst day of the year.

1606
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 14: No, no, sometimes it's always So let's just calm down,

1607
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 14: take a breath. I mean, you look at last year.

1608
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 14: I think I've said this before. If you went to

1609
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 14: bed on January first and woke up on December thirty first,

1610
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 14: you'd say, wow, this has been a nice year. We're

1611
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 14: up sixteen percent on the SMP wele Liberation Day and

1612
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 14: happened in April the market dropped twenty percent.

1613
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 3: Then we had the AI bubble. This is world.

1614
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 14: Valued market drops ten percent in November, and we went

1615
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 14: through these it on average the market. You look at

1616
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 14: ned Davis Research, the market drops over ten percent every

1617
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 14: year on average. So we just kind of have to

1618
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 14: get through this noise. And because when we have emotions

1619
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 14: and we make emotional decisions. To your point, Ray, that's

1620
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 14: where you were just basically, you know, we're sabotaging ourselves.

1621
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: Did you was there a learning curve when you started this?

1622
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: How do you get how do you train your emotions?

1623
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: I know you might go to school, you might do

1624
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: this year, but how long did it take you to

1625
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: do what you do before the emotions are just gone?

1626
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: And you're like, all right, man, I've seen this a

1627
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: million times.

1628
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 3: I know what to do. And then you've got to

1629
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 3: take that.

1630
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Gravita and you've got to be able to tell it

1631
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: to the people that are going to, you know, give

1632
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: you their money to invest, and they've got to believe

1633
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: in you.

1634
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 3: How do you work all that? It's like magic?

1635
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 8: You know.

1636
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 14: That's a great cristmanry, because let me just start by saying, look,

1637
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 14: I don't want to say you can't. We're going to

1638
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 14: eliminate emotions and when, especially when it's your money, so

1639
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 14: you know, of course I want to be respectful of that.

1640
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 14: But what it comes down to is we talk about

1641
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 14: uncertainty in the market, Well, what if you have uncertainty

1642
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 14: in your portfolio?

1643
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 3: You don't know what you own?

1644
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 14: Number One Number two, you don't really you know the

1645
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 14: history of the market. We're we're not really sure. I

1646
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 14: made the comment just a second ago that on average

1647
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 14: the market drops ten percent every time, once every year.

1648
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 14: And so if we know some of those things, you know,

1649
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 14: we can we can say, Okay, this is normal, I

1650
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 14: can deal with this. I'm going to try to minimize

1651
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 14: the emotions and stick with a plan that makes sense.

1652
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 14: So part of it is knowing what you own, understanding

1653
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 14: the market a little better, and then having a coach

1654
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 14: like myself or someone that you work with maybe that's

1655
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 14: going to help you through that and explain, hey, this

1656
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 14: is the way it goes. And so we understand, you know,

1657
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 14: we understand what we're dealing with, and we can we

1658
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 14: can be successful more successful.

1659
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,839
Speaker 1: What's the sweet spot? You know? Maybe you're investing with somebody,

1660
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: it's a young family, right, they're in there. Let's just

1661
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 1: say they're in their thirties. That's somebody like me, that's

1662
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: a nearing sixty. Where do you take that spot? And

1663
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: you and you say, all right, well we're going to

1664
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: take this and we're gonna put it a little bit safer.

1665
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: Is there is there a sweet spot? There is there

1666
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,839
Speaker 1: a way to nowhere's all dependent upon the investor.

1667
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 14: It does depend on a number of things. Right, So

1668
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 14: if someone said how should I invest? You know, where

1669
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 14: should I put my money? Well, I got to say, well,

1670
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 14: let's we need to ask some questions. Number one, you

1671
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 14: know how much longer are you going to be? Is

1672
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 14: it going to be before you need the money? If

1673
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 14: someone says, hey, I need this money next year, well okay,

1674
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 14: hold on, we have to be careful. Right But if

1675
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 14: someone says I'm working in another ten years, I'm plowing

1676
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 14: money into it, I'm contributing to my foreum K, then

1677
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 14: we can be more a little more aggressive. Or I

1678
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 14: hate those terms, but there are the terms in the market.

1679
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 14: They're relative terms. But or we can be more growth oriented.

1680
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 14: Let me put it that way, because you know, there's

1681
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 14: never been a twenty year period in the history of

1682
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 14: the market. It's ever been down over a ten year period,

1683
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 14: you have probably over a ninety almost close to one

1684
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 14: hundred percent chance you are not going to be down again.

1685
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 14: Now we're looking at facts. So this is how we

1686
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 14: want to take a look at our portfolio and guess what.

1687
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 14: When we know that we can stick with it, we

1688
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 14: can create an income and investment I should say an

1689
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 14: investment plan. Let me take a step back to the

1690
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 14: investment plan, and then again we're a little more successful.

1691
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 14: And I guess another big takeaway from that is a

1692
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 14: lot less stress.

1693
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, you're dealing with people in a time where

1694
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: we hear affordability all the time, right, and there comes

1695
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: a time and people can't put so much money into

1696
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: their irais or into their four h one case. What

1697
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: do you say to somebody in this audience. And we

1698
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: know this audience, it's an older, mature audience. They've got

1699
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: money for the most part, but we know we've got

1700
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: young adults that are listening right now that might not

1701
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: be putting into some of these accounts. How do you

1702
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: get them to say, even if you can afford this much,

1703
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: you got to get in.

1704
01:22:58,120 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 3: That's great the way you say, even if you can

1705
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 3: afford this much.

1706
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 14: You know, Charlie Munger, you know, passed away on for

1707
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 14: It's a great guy party. He was Warren Buffett's partner

1708
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 14: as far as at Berkshire. He said, I don't care

1709
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 14: what you have to do. I don't care if you

1710
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 14: have to walk to work. I don't care if you

1711
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 14: have to cut coupons. You got to get to one

1712
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 14: hundred thousand dollars, do whatever it takes, because once you

1713
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 14: get to that point, that was his credo. And so

1714
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 14: it's almost like you have to have that attitude and

1715
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 14: to your point, Ray, Yes, do what you got to do.

1716
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 14: I don't care if it's twenty five dollars a month.

1717
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 14: And the beauty of it's easy actually because even if

1718
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 14: you don't have a company plan, you can set it

1719
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 14: up through your bank and set up a fidelity count

1720
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 14: in five minutes online link your bank can have twenty

1721
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 14: five bucks come out a month, fifty bucks. Once you start,

1722
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 14: you're on your way.

1723
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: You know what I like that you said there is

1724
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, we live in a society that they get

1725
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: focused on the shiny things. You know, you'll hear and

1726
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 1: I know I'll hear this. Well, you know what, I'm

1727
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 1: a mom and I've got three kids, and yeah, but

1728
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: you're also driving around in a brand new seventy five

1729
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars Chevy Tahoe. So some of that. Get rid

1730
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: of some of that, you know, the exuberance that we have,

1731
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: and just put something away to help you in the

1732
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: long run.

1733
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, we were talking earlier before I came on

1734
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 14: about working out right. Yeah, And it's kind of the

1735
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 14: same thing with investments. Start and become disciplined. And even

1736
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 14: if you start with as I said, just once a month,

1737
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 14: you just you just put it on a haul of pilot.

1738
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 14: It's just like you know with the fourmun case. I

1739
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 14: know a lot of people they wake up one day

1740
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 14: and all of a sudden they have three hundred thousand

1741
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 14: in their formun case. It's like, how did this get here?

1742
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 14: Where you started at a dollar at one point? But

1743
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 14: you were you just let it keep coming out of

1744
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 14: the paycheck. You can replicate that in your own life

1745
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 14: doing it, like I said, on your own.

1746
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: You know what I like about your message and your

1747
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: show that you have here on WLSS. You don't say, hey,

1748
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: if you have a million dollars, if you're a high

1749
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: wealth individual, you work with people that are that are starting,

1750
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: that are there. I know that two hundred and fifty

1751
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a number we like to put out there

1752
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: to invest in. But you say you'll work with people

1753
01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: if they've got forty to fifty sixty give you a call.

1754
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 14: Well, of course, I say, you know, look, if I

1755
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 14: can point you in the right direction. If I can

1756
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 14: give you some advice. It's not always going to be Hey,

1757
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 14: we're going to work together, right, That may not happen.

1758
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 14: That's okay. I don't work with everybody. It doesn't there's

1759
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 14: not always a fit. But I'm certainly, you know, going

1760
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 14: to try to help you and maybe give you some

1761
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 14: advice on things. Whether it's like we just talked about

1762
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 14: contributing to a plan, I'll take it to another level.

1763
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 14: You know, if I say, hey, if you're going to

1764
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 14: contribute to an IRA or a retirement account, maybe we

1765
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 14: want to also be tax sensitive. Let's put it in

1766
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 14: a wroth. So now it's going to be tax free forever.

1767
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 14: These are things that we can at least I can give.

1768
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 14: These are things that I would give someone advice on

1769
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 14: to do these.

1770
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I want. I want to do. So

Speaker 1: Democrat or a Republican, uh whatever. This is just about

Speaker 1: I'm just so disgusted. And this happens a lot around Chicago.

1806
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: When you see a mom or a dad, or a kid,

1807
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: somebody just trying to go to school. We hear about

1814
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: There's no shot spotter anymore, so there's no calls made

1815
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: when shots ring out to alert nine to one to one.

1816
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,639
Speaker 1: This woman lied dying in the street on a cold

1817
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,599

Speaker 1: was flipping through my phone doing the death scroll and

1824
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: I came across one of the news organizations that did

1825
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: a piece on the reward that you're offering. And as

1826
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: I looked at that piece, I noticed they didn't have

1827
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 1: your phone number, they didn't have a way to contact you,

1828
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 1: and I thought that that was a disservice to the

1829
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: to the service that you provide. Tell me how does

1830
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: the community get involved to help you to come up

1831
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: with I mean, I imagine you take donations for a

1832
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Cook County Crime Stoppers. Can you tell me how it

1833
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:27,759
Speaker 1: works place.

1834
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 15: Yes, Cook County Crime Stoppers. It's a nonprofit organization that

1835

01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 15: And so we currently have a website that is being

1837
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 15: updated and it should be launching probably within the next

1838
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 15: week or two. So, I mean, if the community wants

1844
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 15: as well as the online portal Total Anonymity. We understand

1845
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 15: this culture that we live in that people don't want

1846
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 15: to talk, they don't want to get involved, but it's

1847
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 15: very valuable that we give the community the outlet to

1848
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 15: provide that information and get the bad people, get the

1849
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 15: people that are doing all these senseless crimes off the street.

1850
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: I know that, and you can correct me at any

1851
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: time if I'm wrong on a this. I know you

1852
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: say that you're building a new website, I'm going must

1853
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: be going off a website that's a little bit older.

1854
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: But thirty eight years, you've helped recover twenty one million

1855
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: in property and illegal drugs, helps solve hundreds of felony

1856
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: level crimes. Have you received many tips or even any

1858
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: can find the of Kiara Jenkins.

1859
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 15: In this particular case, because it was we had just

1860
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 15: posted it up within what forty eight hours? I don't

1861
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 15: have the exact number of tips that come in, but

1862
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 15: I do know that we have taken a lot of tips.

1863
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 15: I mean just I did the numbers last week, if

1864
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 15: ours twenty twenty five, and we have over seventy two

1865
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 15: hundred tips that came in on various crimes, and approximately

1866
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 15: five hundred those are homicides. I mean, people are you know,

1867
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 15: they wanted to provide information, and any information is valuable.

1868
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 15: People think, well, you know, the color of a car,

1869
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 15: it doesn't matter. Well it does matter. There's you know,

1870
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 15: there's my partner, George McDade. He since retired back in April,

1871
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 15: but he I mean, he took a tip with attack

1872
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 15: in the hood and you know the tips. They didn't

1873
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 15: think it was relevant, but you know, it cleared the case.

1874
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 15: So any information that anyone has, regardless of if it's small, large,

1875
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 15: you know, we want it. We want it and that

1876
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 15: way we can pass it over to the proper authorities

1877
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 15: to investigate and hopefully that information will result in the

1878
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 15: arrest and if it does, you're eligible for a cash

1879
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 15: reward for that information.

1880
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 1: And will this this you know, I know you started

1881
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 1: a ten thousand I mean that will grow if people

1882
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 1: want to donate to this certain project. I would imagine

1883
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: and would I be correct to assume that.

1884
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 15: If anyone wants to donate to the organization, they can. However,

1885
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 15: because of the IRS laws, we have to cap all

1886
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 15: the rewards up to ten thousand dollars. In other words,

1887
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,600
Speaker 15: we would have to file certain documents. That way, it

1888
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,639
Speaker 15: brings the it takes away from the anonymity, and that's

1889
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 15: the whole purpose of this organization is by the anonymity

1890
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 15: for the arrest.

1891
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, if you see something, say something,

1892
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 1: it's a you know, I get it. Some people are

1893
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 1: motivated by cash, and you said it yourself. A lot

1894
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: of people sometimes are hesitant to come forward lest faiths

1895
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: in some of these neighborhoods are tough places to be in.

1896
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: Cook County Crimestoppers dot org. Cook County Crimestoppers dot ORGU

1900
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 1: hopefully you can find this a woman's killer. It's something

1901
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 1: that needs I mean, and I know it happened on Sunday.

1902
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,480
Speaker 1: The police are doing their work, they're doing their due diligence.

1903
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 1: But it's nice to know that somebody's out there that

1904
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: cares about this stuff. Thank you.

1905
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 15: You welcome, sir.

1906
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 1: The right to worship your faith is a First Amendment

1907
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 1: protected right. You can have a right to worship and

1908
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: not be hindered. That was not the case in Saint

01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're hearing this small that the woman who apparently

1912
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 3: organized and led that disruption there within the church, a riot,

1913
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 3: if you will, has been arrested. She's been identified as

1914
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:17,759
Speaker 3: Nikma Armstrong. And I guess it looks like Pam BONDI

1916
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:25,720

1917
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 1: some of them were talking to Jensaki the other night

1918
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: on what is That MSNBC, and Jen was saying that

1919
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: they looked like they were in there and they weren't.

1920
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: They were saying that they weren't harassing people and they

1921
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:40,600
Speaker 1: weren't out of control. And I'm like, well, look at

1922
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,600
Speaker 1: the video. Don Lemon has the video of it. I

1923
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 1: think the video they like to call that the tale

1924
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 1: of the Tape. So we'll keep an eye on that.

1942
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 1: let me let me uh you know. And this is

1943
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 1: one of those things where it defies logic as to

1944
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 1: how cruel and mean people can be at times. Right, Uh,

1945

Speaker 1: saying stupid things online, it will stay there for a

1951
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 1: long time. And the reason I know that is because

01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:36,599
Speaker 1: going to use that term very loosely, is working for

1975
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: this home healthcare service anymore? My guess is that's probably

1976
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: one of those offenses that'll get you terminated. How old

1977
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: is rom the bomb is Rom. I think he's sixty

1978
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: six or sixty seven years old? Right?

1979
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 3: Is he that old? Yeah?

1980
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? And he looks it. Man. You know, Ram Emmanuel,

1981
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 1: whether you love him or hate him, the city did

1982
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: okay under him. You know, we're at that point now, Nick,

1983
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, you never thought you'd say this,

1984
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 1: but you could probably use the guy back. That's how

1985
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 1: bad it's gotten in the wake of Lori, Lightfoot and

1986
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 1: now what we like to consider the lowest rated BJ

1987
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago history. That would be Mayor Brandon Johnson. But

1988
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 1: that Rama Manuel said yesterday that there needs to be

1989
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 1: a mandatory retirement age when it comes to being the

1990
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: president of the United States. I guess in the president's

1991
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: speech yesterday when he was at Davos, he messed up

1992
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Greenland and called it Iceland four times. And you know

1993
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 1: there will be people that say, oh, man, well he's lost,

1994
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: he's lost his mind. He's not mentally stable. Are you

1995
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 1: kidding me? This guy doesn't sleep. All he does is work.

1996
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: And to try to draw any kind of a comparison

1997
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,160
Speaker 1: to him and Biden is not going to get you

1998
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: very far. But I'll tell you what he threw Hart

1999
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: on Canaday yesterday.

2000
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 6: Kennedy gets a lot of freevious from us. By the way,

2001
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 6: they should be grateful also. But then I watched your

2002
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 6: Prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful that they should

2003
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 6: be grateful to Canada. Canada lives because of the United States.

2004
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,520
Speaker 6: Remember that mark the next time you make your statements.

2005
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: And then the Scott Bessent said this in response to

2006
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Canada and say, you know what, you kind of you

2007
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of better watch yourself.

2008
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 3: You only exist out here because of me, you born.

2009
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 3: Don't ever go over my dad again. You'll it got real.

2010
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:33,519
Speaker 3: It got real in Davos, can I say, just if

2011
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 3: he called it Iceland by mistake, well that's the proper

2012
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 3: name for the place, Iceland, because there's a chunk of ice.

2013
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: Now they'll push back on you and say no, it's not.

2014
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 1: We're not just a chunk of ice.

2015
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 3: Boy.

2016
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: If you think it's going to get cold around here

2017
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: this weekend, forget about it. Okay, just to go back

2018
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,680
Speaker 1: to rom real quick. He says, you're seventy five years old.

2019
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: You're done. Now that's interesting because if he does run

2020
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: for president, there's a lot of people saying that he

2021
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 1: should or he will, at least on the left, but

2022
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: he might be too moderate right, and Gavin Newsom might

2023
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: be too moderate for these lunatics socialists in the party.

2024
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 1: The AOC is even Bernie Sanders is done. There's no

2025
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: way he runs. He's way past his prime. But he says,

2026
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: you're seventy five years old, you're done. So that would

2027
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: only allow him what one term should he decide to

2028
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 1: run for president, and he's giving that some consideration. All right,

2029

Speaker 1: here's the deal. Log on to our social media. Go

01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,719

2039
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 1: that has plumbing on the outside of the wall, you

2040
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,639
Speaker 1: may want to trickle that thing a little bit. Yeah,

2041
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like Nick Jierinstream trickle that because

2042
