Speaker 4: You live in the neighborhood.

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 5: This is my block, this is my area. I don't

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: I don't go into other those neighborhoods.

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 6: And trying incumundate them.

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 7: I protect my people.

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: What is this, bs? What kind of crap is this?

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: These are my people. No, No, we're all one people.

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: That's the fricking problem we have.

48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: Right.

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: What did we just do yesterday? Right? Martin Luther King?

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: Day?

51
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Right, Martin Luther King. He's going to bring everybody together?

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: What dream of a day? You know, when we judge

53
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: people based on their quality of their character, we don't

54
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: do that anymore. These are my people. This is my neighborhood.

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: You don't worry about the rules and the laws that

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: we have here in the United States. I make my

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: own rules. And you know where this started, Nick, this started.

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: We're every little punk, every little snot nose punk from

59
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: every little suburban liberal mommy that needed a participation trophy

60
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: and a ribbon. When they played any sport that there

61
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: weren't any good at. They should have been an abasement.

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Knitting is where they should have been. Because this is

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: what you get now here. Let me just play a

64
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: little bit of the soup de jure of this latest idiot.

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: Don Lemon or as Tom calls them, Don Lemon. Don

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Lemon used to we'll get to that later. He used

67
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: to work at NBC five, And when he was working

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: in NBC five, he was a pretty level headed guy,

69
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, somehow he got radicalized and

70
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: turned into this nut right. But here he is Don Leman,

71
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: go work for CNF. Yeah, yeah, it happens now. But here,

72
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: don't fall into the trap, because here's what's going to

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: happen with people today. You're gonna be on your social media,

74
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna get into your doom scroll, and you're gonna

75
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: find yourself commenting on a section of social media that

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: nobody's going to read, and if they do read it,

77
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: all they're going to do is be the antithesis to

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: what you think. So now you're going to be fighting

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: with people that you don't know, somebody that this is

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: all they have better to do at their time. I

81
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: warn you to not do that. You'd be better off

82
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: clicking on content on wlsa eight nineties instant and Facebook

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: about Nick's stupid nails. But here is Don Lemons, Tom

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: likes to call him talking about this Minnesota preacher.

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 8: Man.

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 9: If it is true that this person is somehow works

87
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 9: for ICE and then and so it is true that

88
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 9: they are not understanding now of the protesters is that

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 9: they're doing the exact opposite of what Christianity is supposed

90
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 9: to be about. They could solve this problem if you

91
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 9: had people understanding, but it doesn't seem like anyone wanted

92
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 9: to talk to each other.

93
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 10: Now.

94
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 9: I think the protesters actually went there to talk to

95
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 9: these guys. Obviously to disrupt, true, but I think they

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 9: went there to talk to them. And I think if

97
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 9: the pastor who was what I would have done jen

98
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 9: is that would have said, no, we live in a

99
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 9: country where we welcome dissent, We welcome peaceable piece of

100
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 9: the right to peaceably assemble. We welcome that, and so

101
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 9: we may not like it.

102
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 8: It is peace as when you bust into a church

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 8: in the middle of worship and start chanting anti.

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Ice slogans and everything else. Really, can we just presuppose

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: what I f and I know that if some butts

106
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: are like candy and nuts, right, well, what if somebody

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: had done this, Oh my God, listen to me closely

108
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: when I say this. What if somebody would have broken

109
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: into a mosque and done this? Oh God, could you

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: imagine labeled oh hate crime? Hate crime? Right now? And

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: now we've got another dust up going on. With mosque

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: life matters and everything else. But I would like to know.

113
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: I would like to know why anybody thinks this is

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: okay and this attention grabbing poor Don Lemon yep to

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: be there to try to get hits and clicks for

116
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: his little news service that he's getting that he's making

117
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: money for off the socials, kid and off YouTube, is

118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: nothing more than a grand standard. You don't do this.

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: You might not agree with something. You have every right

120
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: to protest anywhere you want. You can blow horns and

121
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: you can act a fool, and you can go to

122
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Broadview and you can do so, but you don't go

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: into a church. Now, Alena Haba and the Trump DOJ

124
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: is saying they will come down hard on these people

125
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: to the every letter of the law, because this a

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: place of worship, is federally protected. And I hope Don

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: Lemon gets in trouble for this too. And he's there.

128
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 8: There's some footage he's interviewing the priest, the pastor, the

129
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 8: reverend whatever in the middle of all this chaos and

130
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 8: basically saying, well, mister pastor, don't they have a right.

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: To free speech?

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, they do out on the street, but not in

133
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 8: the house of the Lord.

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,560

00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: at Black Lives Matters protesters and Saint Louis pleaded guilty

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: to misdemeanor charges. Remember, they hauled them off to jail,

160
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and they had they had pleaded guilty. They paid fines

161
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: of two thousand dollars and more and pled the guilty

162
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to misdemeanor fourth degree assault for threatening passers by with

163
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: an AR fifteen rifle. Well, I want to know what's

164
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: going to happen with soy boy here, because he did

165
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the same thing. The same thing is brandishing a weapon

166
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: in public. And listen, two rights. Don't make her wrong.

167
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: And for all you kids out there that they're listening

168
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: this morning, keep the weapons inside. Don't let the neighbors

169
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: know your hand. Be calm, be cool, and let them

170
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: wonder why I wonder what's going on behind that garage door.

171
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: Because that's the thing about suburbia, that's the thing about

172
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: every farm between here and anywhere you go in this world.

173
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Once you get out there in the rural America, you

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I asked this question last week, and I

175
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: just would like to know where does this end? What

176
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: is the end process for all of this? Is it

177
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: that we have no more law and order? Do we

178
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: abolish the United States as a country, Do we just

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: let anybody come here? Or do we in fact just

180
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: delve into a civil war? What do you want? Somebody

181
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: sit down with these people and tell me what you want,

182
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: because you can't have your law, your neighborhood, your people

183
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: classified into what you think the United States of America

184
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: should be. You might think that way, but it doesn't

185
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: make it right. These are the United States of America,

186
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: and in Minneapolis or Chicago or broad View, you don't

187
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: tell Ice to get out. You may not like it,

188
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: but guess what you can vote and maybe the next

189
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: administration that comes in if it's not, if it's not

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: to a GOP administration under JD. Evans, well then we've

191
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: got some real problems. Maybe then you abolish ICE. Maybe

192
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: then you get rid of cops. And then you ask yourself,

193
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: do you want to Can I protect myself in my

194
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: neighborhood against soy boy beanie hat guy here who has

195
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: better boobs than Gina holding an AR fifteen? That's what

196
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I want to know. Three p One two five nine

197
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: one eighty nine hundred. Gosh, that just honks me off.

198
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Do not fall into the bait that they want you

199
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: to take about being angry and clicking on their content,

200
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to social media. You are better

201
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: off going to WLSAM eight nineties streaming and looking at

202
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Nick's nails, which are still on this morning. Oh no, yeah,

203
00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: they're slowly coming off. I'm picking at them. I notice

204
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: they have yellowed from the camels y. You want more

205
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: free stuff in twenty six, Well, that is the pledge

206
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: the WLSAM eight ninety gives to you. And now, by

207
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: the way, if you're driving around and you're hearing a

208
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: little snap, crackle and pop, and maybe you're down in

209
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Kentucky just almost to Tennessee and you want to get

210
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: the big eighty nine signal a little clearer, you can

211
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: stream wlsam dot com or go to the app store

212
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: and get our app. And the reason why I want

213
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: you to get our app is because one it's a

214
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: nice app, and two if you stream, you are always

215
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: available to win the free stuff that you're going to

216
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: have in twenty twenty six. Now there's some ass kiss

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: and it has to go on to get the free

218
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: stuff around here. This morning at seven point fifty, we're

219
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: going to do that, and we're going to talk with today.

220
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's State Representative Bradley Stevens. I

221
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: believe it's Mayor Bradley Stevens. We're doing this thing this

222
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: year called the Road to Rosemont. They celebrate seventy years

223
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: as a village, and our way to celebrate Rosemont is

224
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: by giving you free Rosemont stuff. We're also going to talk.

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows this or not, because

226
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask him. You know, when your dad,

227
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: Donald Ee Stevens molded this city out of nothing, it

228
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: was a swamp. Did you ever think that you'd be

229
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: able to hold such large sporting events and pro events

230
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: like the not So Pro Bowler Tour? Do you think

231
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: that that would be something that he would be proud of?

232
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: This morning at seven point fifty, we'll set up some

233
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: free stuff for you here on the big eighty nine WLS.

234
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: You know we were talking earlier about this church, and listen,

235
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: leave synagogues, leave mosques, leave houses of worship, leave churches.

236
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Leave all of that stuff out of your protests. Let

237
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: people do what they want to do with their time,

238
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: and if they want to walk on faith, let them.

239
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: We've taken a faith journey here. Nick doesn't quite know it,

240
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: but this Bear prayer that we started on the third

241
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: week of the Bear season, we built a legacy on faith.

242
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Right on last week we talked with the Father, Dan

243
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: brand he's the Chicago Police chapman. And God bless the

244
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: Chicago Police Department, and God bless Father Dan Brandt because

245
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: when he was out there throwing the holy water on

246
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Walter Payton. That's been seen over a million times on

247
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: my social media. But as we walk on faith, as

248
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: we build our base, as I like to call it,

249
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: can I get a ray men? I just want people

250
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: to know this morning that whether it was the NFL,

251
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: whether it was the Chicago Bears, or whether it was

252
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the park district that controls Soldiers Field, they didn't let

253
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: the father into the stadium. Oh that's a big foul.

254
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: That's breaking news on WSA eight ninety this morning because

255
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: they didn't let him in. We don't know why, but

256
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: I just want to put that out there into the

257
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: spiritual universe that maybe that's part of the deal, or

258
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's just because the Bears ran out of luck.

259
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: But as we build our faith and we build our base,

260
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: let's look forward to what we did this year and

261
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: look at the difference between Chicago and green Bay this morning.

262
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: And I hate to use Green Bay because I love

263
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,359
Speaker 1: I love was Wisconsin. The people up there are fabulous.

264
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay is a nice town, albeit smaller, right, but

265
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: it's a town. It doesn't have half the problem Chicago does,

266
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the people that Chicago does. And

267
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: just to be clear, the Chicago Bears or the Green

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: Bay Packers play in ash wobbin In, not in green Bay.

269
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: Yet they don't call them the Ashwabbin and Green Bay Packers,

270
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: do they Hey, just like the Chicago Bears will still

271
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: be called the Chicago Bears if they move to Gary,

272
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: although a lot of people want to call it the

273
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: Gary Bears. And I bring that up because tomorrow at

274
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: six point thirty we're talking with Governor Mike Brown. The

275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: pushes on to get the Chicago Bears over to Gary,

276
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: over to Hammond, and some of the work that these

277
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: municipalities have done to lure the Bears there is really

278
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: interesting work, hard work, and the renderings and the drawings

279
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: and the ideas that they have are pretty darn good,

280
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: and you know what, Indiana wants them. So Cam Buckner,

281
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: you better w you better wake up, You better wake

282
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: up and understand that while we don't want to pay

283
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: for stadiums, and I get that should be a user

284
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: tax on people that go to the game, those Bears

285
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: need to end up in Arlington Heights. Will they I

286
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: don't know. Sixt thirty tomorrow morning, we will find out.

287
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: But as you build your faith and you build your base.

288
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: And the reason I talk about Green Bay this morning

289
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: is they want their coach gone, or they did want

290
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: him gone. Now one of their assistants has already gone on.

291
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: He's going to be the new coach of the Miami Dolphins.

292
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: But Lafleur is being lambasted in Wisconsin and I don't

293
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: get it. I think he's a pretty good coach, very handsome,

294
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and I love that supercuts haircut with the heart part

295
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: lovely lovely. But there's a difference. There's a team. There's

296
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't think that Jordan Love should be

297
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: benched for the backup. This is a team that loves

298
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. And if you don't believe in what that

299
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: guy did on Saturday night or whenever the game was.

300
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: I can't even remember anymore. Saturday night, Sunday, is it Sunday? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: But that ridiculus pass he threw, and the way this

302
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: team played, and the way that Ben Johnson kept this

303
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: team on the field, and he said, take a look around.

304
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: Feel this. Don't let it escape you, because you're dealing

305
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: with people that are not going to be here next year.

306
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: You're dealing with millionaire players, multi multi millionaire players, and

307
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: all they're going to do is put on some of

308
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: these guys is put on another uniform for another team,

309
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: some of them probably in Green Bay next year. But

310
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: feel this, take it in and use it to build

311
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: your base and build your faith for next year. I

312
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: like this coach. I think he's a good guy.

313
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 6: Lest we forget too that this team reminds me of

314
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 6: the twenty fifteen Cubs. Those twenty fifteen Cubs went deep.

315
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: They get to the NLDS, they meet up against the Mets,

316
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 6: and they get absolutely thrashed. It ends at heartbreak very

317
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 6: next year World Series.

318
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Can we focus we're talking about football here.

319
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 6: I know, I'm just saying that the Bears remind me

320
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 6: of that, but you're right.

321
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: And here's the thing is, you're talking about a team

322
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: that's on the rise, and if I could just take

323
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: one thing away from a season, and I'm still not

324
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: convinced that the NFL is where I want to. I

325
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: had a chance to go to the game. I chose

326
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: not to go to the game because I was away.

327
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: I could have come home for it. Gave the tickets

328
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: to my kid instead. I'm still not there with the

329
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: wokeness of the NFL. I'm still not there. But I

330
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: think that the Bears did a wonderful job this year.

331
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: It gave a city where it's been hard to get

332
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: a win, right because you hear so much bad whether

333
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: it's what's been going on in our African American communities,

334
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: black communities, with the money being funneled away and given

335
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: the people that come here illegally and those that are

336
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: going without. You hear about crime. You hear about people

337
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: being lit on fires, on fire on CTA trains, the shootings.

338
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Although they'll tell you they're down. This town has got

339
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: a migration outward migration problem. The Bears gave you something

340
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: to believe in for only a little bit, and that's okay.

341
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: I think we should grab that and use it where

342
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: you can, where you can see a positive. You know,

343
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: you've got a mayor that's just nuts. He's killing this town.

344
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: Elections can't come quick enough around here. But this team,

345
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: they gave you something, and I hope if if you

346
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: don't take anything out of sports other than that, that's

347
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: all you need is that it made people feel good

348
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: and it was a distraction, albeit for a little while.

349
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk with them, Mike Berman and Berman on the

350
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Bears as they well. I tell you the reaction in

351
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: La yesterday there was a parade. I don't know if

352
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: that was a parade for the Rams victory, but there

353
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: were stabbings. Is that how you're gonna act? Is that

354
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: how you're gonna act after a Rams of victory? But

355
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: what's it like to be in that Soldier Field atmosphere

356
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: with seventy thousand people going nuts, screaming, flyovers flags, the

357
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: size of the field to sing the national anthem must

358
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: be amazing. We're gonna talk with Jimmy c Jimmy Corneilsen,

359
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: who sang the anthem this morning at seven oh five.

360
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: You're welcome to jump in three one, two, five, nine

361
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: one eighty nine hundred. That crap ever gonna come off

362
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: your fingers, nick, No talk about nick nails. Are there

363
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: some astone the other day? We're gonna see what happens.

364
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Are they still on the toenails? Those are gonna be hard? Yeah? Yeah,

365
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: well that's good. That's it. Hey, that's somewhere to start.

366
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: That's a nick key. Alombray Stavins three one two eighty

367
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: nine hundred. Our friend Chief Tom white Sill, retired police

368
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: chief Riverside. You see him on the big news programs

369
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: all the time. I guess we start with this question.

370
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: We've seen ridiculous onrest in Minneapolis when it comes to

371
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: law and order and rules and borders. Now people approaching

372
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: churches just to say, hey, we have a right to

373
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: protest in here too. So I guess first off we

374
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: just ask Tom, what do you do to try to

375
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: calm this situation that almost seems uncontrollable right now?

376
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I will say that the s

377
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 4: those process protesters, if that's what you want to call them,

378
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 4: or rioters, in my opinion, they don't have a right

379
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 4: to protest on that church property. Just to be clear,

380
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: that's actually there's a federal law.

381
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: That's trust, yeah, for sure.

382
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: But what the police can do is, at least the

383
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: local police is they have to have a coordinated plan,

384
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: They have to be well organized, and despite what you

385
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 4: might hear, they need to team up with their federal

386
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: partners and local police. You know, even Minneapolis can't handle

387
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: it themselves. So if that was happening in the small

388
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 4: suburban area like Broadview, Okay, that's a small town, right,

389
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 4: This is happening in Minneapolis there. They even an agency

390
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: with that size of a police department has to have

391
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 4: neighboring agencies and federal partners, and those individuals that are

392
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: screaming Ice out Minneapolis has to partner with the federal

393
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: government to handle those situations.

394
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Hey, but how do we do that when you've got

395
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Timmy Walls over there saying that the ICE is the Gestapo,

396
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: and then you've got Mayor Jacob Fri saying that we're

397
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: not going to let our local agencies work with the federalized.

398
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how does that work? As far as I mean,

399
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: first of all, it has to put agents in definite harm,

400
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: because if you're not working together in coalesling as a

401
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies, that's a problem. That rhetoric alone is dangerous.

402
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: I think you've seen that with the protests and now

403
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: with idiots like Don lem and thinking that they go

404
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: inside a church and shout people down on a Sunday

405
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: during worship ceremony.

406
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that whole thing with Don Lemon, that sounds and

407
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: looks pretty stage to me.

408
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: No, no, wait a second, let me just ask you,

409
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: good Chief Tom Wichel here, do you actually think that

410
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: Don Lemon would go and do something for hits and

411
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: clicks for his website? Come on?

412
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well for sure, it sure feels like that from

413
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 4: all my years of experience that that was coordinated and

414
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 4: planned and it was more of an event than it

415
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: was some spontaneous protests.

416
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: Right.

417
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 4: And the rhetoric that's going on from the governor and

418
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: from the mayor is meant to put a divide between

419
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: law enforcement agencies. Their rhetoric wants local Minneapolis police to

420
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: not want to work with ICE or Border Patrol or FBI.

421
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: That's purposeful. They want to make this divide in law enforcement.

422
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you read recently, but just

423
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: over the last three to four days, there's been eighteen

424
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: Minneapolis police officers that have resigned or retired and left

425
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 4: just in the wake of the way this situation is

426
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: being handled.

427
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: Now when you say that, is that because they feel

428
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: like they're you know, they've taken an oath of the

429
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: Constitution of the United States. They have government officials telling

430
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: them not to do their job. Is that is that

431
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: part of this or do you think is this in response?

432
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: And I know the answer to this. I'm just trying

433
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: to be responsible here and see it from the other side.

434
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: But this is in direct response to them not being

435
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: able to do their jobs.

436
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: Correct without a doubt. And also they are not being

437
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: able to do their job in policing to be given

438
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: no support, certainly no political support. And the chief in

439
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: Minneapolis is what I would call a political figure more

440
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: than the chief. I mean, I'm sure you've seen maybe

441
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 4: news clips of his press releases and his press conferences

442
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 4: where he is not a fan of any federal government,

443
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: whether that be Ice Border Patrol, who's ever there. So

444
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: he's I believe he's really not even backing up his

445
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: own officers even when they're right, and in this case

446
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 4: they're right. So you have officers who morale is huge

447
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: in law enforcement agencies and support is huge, especially when

448
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 4: they're right and they're not receiving that. Plus the political

449
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: climate there, they're saying goodbye, I'll go somewhere else and.

450
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it certainly as interesting. This is our friend,

451
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: Chief Tom Whitezell on WLSAMA ninety nine.

452
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 8: Well, Chief, I mean you just talked about their superintendent there.

453
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 8: You look at our superintendent who actually came out and said, hey,

454
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 8: you're going to box and ice agents, federal agents. They're

455
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: still officers of the law and FAFO. What's your thoughts

456
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 8: on Larry Snelling and how he kind of defied even

457
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 8: our mayor.

458
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: And just to be clear that that sound bite goes

459
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: back to October, but still he stands with law enforce.

460
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 10: Yes.

461
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Superintendent Snelling. I

462
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: think he's well respected by his personnel and he's well

463
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: respected in the lawns and field, no doubt about that.

464
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: Even before he was named superintendent, if you were in

465
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: policing and you knew him the command structure, he's always

466
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 4: been well respected. I believe his news conference he gave

467
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 4: back in October was one hundred percent on point, because

468
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 4: you con bet after he gave that the mayor probably

469
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: whistled him in the office and said, what's that, Like,

470
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 4: you know, what's this? I don't like this? Well, what

471
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 4: it was is the truth. And he's trying to de escalate,

472
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: which everyone wants the police to do. He's he was

473
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: telling don't stand in front of their vehicles, don't block

474
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: the roadway, and if you do, expect to be arrested.

475
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: Like he was just putting out the plane facts there

476
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 4: ahead of time for these individuals that were throwing bricks,

477
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: they were throwing water bottles, they were blocking the roads.

478
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: I mean, those are all unlawful activities.

479
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: This is Chief Tom Whitesell on the Midwest Legend WLSAMA

480
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: nine of this morning. Chief, where do you think this ends?

481
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we look back at the Biden administration and

482
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: all of these people that were led in. We can

483
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: still see the vision clearly in our head about people

484
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: just you know, a steady stream of people through breached

485
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: and broached fences, and and and they came, and they came,

486
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: and they came to the millions. A lot of folks

487
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: have been sent home. But we have rules and laws,

488
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: and we have borders, and and they've committed a crime

489
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: to come into this country and and and this country

490
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: has been pretty good. I think about letting people come

491
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: here and go through the naturalization process. Should you have

492
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: come here with the you know, with it in your

493
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: heart that you want to assimilate to what the United

494
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: States is. But if you come here and you have

495
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: a record that shows, uh, you know, homicides and many

496
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: other things, and we've seen that, uh, those people need

497
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: to be sent home or jailed. What do you think

498
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: the where where was the mindset of the Biden administration

499
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: and the far left lunatics that let this go on

500
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: and and and where where do you think it ends up?

501
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, in the next three years of Trump? What's

502
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: the end all, the be all end all here?

503
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think the Biden administration was just their political

504
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 4: agenda and their their view of let everybody in that

505
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: we're a welcoming country in.

506
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: What do you why do you do that? Is there?

507
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: Is there? I mean, you can't just be for voting

508
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: for the vote, for the votes, it can't be. But

509
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: but what I mean, how is it tenable? I just

510
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: don't understand.

511
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 4: Well, it may not be for just the votes, but

512
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: that's part of it, but it's also for the future

513
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 4: of their party. I believe that these these are people

514
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 4: that will more likely be a Democrat in the future

515
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: of their family members. Many of them already had family

516
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: members here. Let's be honest about it. There come some

517
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: of them got can legally, some illegally, and they're crossing

518
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 4: under the Biden administration, and they gave everybody a pass.

519
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: Everybody came in. Then they really didn't care about your

520
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 4: criminal history from another country. That's obvious. And where is

521
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: this going to end with the Trump administration, Well, he

522
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: said repeatedly, as long as he's in office, it's not stopping.

523
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 4: So these mayors and governors that say, get Ice gid out,

524
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 4: We're going to keep you out of our state. We're

525
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: going to rest the eyes agents. That's ridiculous. You can't

526
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 4: do that. It's unlawful. And Trump is not backing off.

527
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: He's going to keep his border safety initiative, you know,

528
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: in full effect throughout the United States. And you look

529
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: at the border crossings, look at the numbers.

530
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: Zero.

531
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's down significantly. He and I saw an

532
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: interview there day with some of the actual border patrol

533
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: that work, not their bosses, that work the you know,

534
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 4: the border in Mexican between the United States and Mexico.

535
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: And they said it's literally like night and days.

536
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: What they said, well, you know it. It certainly is

537
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: amazing because you have people saying that this is a

538
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: thing of color and it's not. I mean, I would

539
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: I would contend, you know, Nick, and I have worked

540
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: with some of the street pastors in Chicago. We get

541
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: into the neighborhoods that kind of put our money where

542
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: our mouth is, and you see people that have gone

543
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: without because of the ridiculous and copious amounts of money

544
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: that have been spent on a legal immigration. And the

545
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: hardest impacted segment of society in Chicago is the traditionally

546
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: black names. They can't afford to have the money stolen

547
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: and taken from their communities, but they have and that

548
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: is a problem and people need to wake up and

549
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: see that cheap. I'm sure we'll talk to you again.

550
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: It's just going to get more interesting as these days

551
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: go by.

552
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me, have a great morning.

553
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: Always great to have you on. Retired Chief Tom whitesil

554
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: Riverside on the Big eighty nine WLS. Nick, if you

555
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: could look back in your youth, your youte, who is

556
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: the one radio guy, the one DJ that stands out

557
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: in your mind. Not a news guy, not a talk guy,

558
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: but that DJ. Who would it be? Wow, that's a

559
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: good question. That's an answer request for Nick. Nicky Gale

560
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: listening out there in Fox River Grove and Uish ninety

561
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: nine to cry, in loving and laugh an hour. Nick

562
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: is in Highland Park. We were asking today is National

563
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: DJ Day? And I never liked the moniker of being

564
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: a DJ because I never really I never touched a

565
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: disc right. I was always using I said, disc disc

566
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Come on, get your mind out of the gutter. This

567
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: is an adult radio station, even if your nails are

568
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: painted like a little girl. Nick is in Highland Park.

569
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: Who was it that you first heard that? You said? Wow, Man,

570
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: this is cool. I got to listen to this.

571
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 11: Ramblin Ray nineteen fifty eight. Hear Dick Beyondy. I was

572
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 11: up in Canada fishing and we had our little transistor

573
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 11: radio hooked up to the roof of the tent, and

574
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 11: here was Dick Beyondy from the Big eighty nine in Chicago.

575
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 12: Ye.

576
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: Dick was just incredible, and he was such a good guy,

577
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, because when you grow up in this town

578
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: and you hear about these people and you want to

579
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: do in some form of what they did, and then

580
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: you meet him and they're even better than what you

581
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: thought they would be. That's what a guy like Dick

582
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: Beyondy was And he was such a guy that always

583
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: gave back to the community too, which I think is

584
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, I used to make fun of that a

585
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: lot when I would listen to you know, my dad

586
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: would talk about Wally Phillips. When I was a kid,

587
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: I thought Wally Phillips worked with my dad, and then

588
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you'd listen to him and it was almost modeling. As

589
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: a kid, You're like, I want on, I want to

590
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: hear Steve Donald talking about kids buried in a basement, right,

591
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: but then kids in the crawl. Then you find out

592
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: that that you know that that's horrible, and what guys

593
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: like Wally Phillips did really had that depth and at

594
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: that meaning. Right, John as in Joliet, it's National DJ Day. John,

595
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: You're on w L Let's go ahead, sir.

596
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 13: Bang you morning guys. It wasn't so much radio DJs,

597
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 13: but when MTV hit hit the airways as a young teenager,

598
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 13: I couldn't get up all the all the all the

599
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 13: VJs on on MTV were really great back in the day.

600
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 13: And you got a lot of your music news as well,

601
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 13: because that was pre inner Internet, so you just was

602
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 13: poked on it back in the day.

603
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Boy, that was huge, you know. And now you turn

604
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: on Fox News and you see Kennedy, you know you

605
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, Kurt Loder and all those guys from MTV.

606
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: What was that about nineteen eighty two? I believe, yeah,

607
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: that was good stuff. Yeah, yeah, John, I appreciate the call. Thanks,

608
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: And a lot of the folks that embodied these airwaves

609
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: if you grew up in Chicago, you know who they were,

610
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: or you know, for me, it was fred Winston. I

611
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: just thought fred Winston could could?

612
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: You know?

613
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't about all it was was how do you

614
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: make the day or the record better? And fred Winston

615
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: did that as well as anybody. And then Brent Miller

616
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: for me, was a guy that I listened to a

617
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,600

724
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: the oldest rock station in Chicago. It's why they call

725
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: it Chicago's finest Rock. You should listen to it. Sometimes

726

Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, I can't listen anymore. No, no,

727
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: because my best friend Line, who was one of my dear,

728
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: dear dear friends, and he and I which sometimes you know,

729
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: you get off the air and sometimes a lot of

730
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: DJs will do there for and hit the door right

731
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: a lot of radio Nick Nick. He and I would

732
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: sit and we would talk politics because he was, you know,

733
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: on that other side. But he was a guy of

734
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: wisdom and character and you could have a conversation with

735
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: him and that's what made him so fun. But yeah,

736
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: talking about the great, the great Lenn Bramer that Chicago

737
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: misses so much. I always enjoyed Wolfman Jack who I believe, Yeah,

738
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe I believe Wolfman was on LS back in the

739
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: day for a time right after right right about when

740
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: the music era was ending. What about the Chicago Eddie

741
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: Schwartz somebody right there, and you know, there you get

742
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: into a difference of okay, who's a DJ and who's

743
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: a talker or a radio personality? And Eddie Schwartz talker

744
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: at night was great. He was great. Let me tell

745
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: you something work, We're going to help them fire the Burberk.

746
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: I was pooped in the studio and Mitch Roseen had

747
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: to clear it. A boy, No, that was Les Grobstein.

748
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: What's that? Who it wants? No, it was Eddie Schwartz,

749
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Well that and and and poor Mitch, my apology por Mitch,

750
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 1: who's now making billions of dollars for George Soros Soros

751
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: Radio over there. Make sure you know who owns the

752
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: radio stations. You're listening to this all the time, you know,

753
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: And I know that it probably never gets sold because

754
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: I'd have to think that that that that that buzz,

755
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: that adoration you get from the crowd. And when you

756
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: take your hand and you see you point it towards

757
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: the flag in the entire stadium, whether that's uh, you

758
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: know over there at the Big Barn on West Madison

759
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: or Soldier Field, it was amazing to see all the

760
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: people in the stands, you know, they take their arm

761
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: and they wave it at the flag. And that's just

762
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: uniquely that's uniquely you. And it's always about the anthem

763
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: with you, no matter no matter how much this town

764
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: loves you, you always make it about the song. What

765
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: what's it like? I mean, what's it like to be

766
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of all that just chaos and noise

767
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: and love?

768
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: Right, It's it's overwhelming. I mean, there's so much much input,

769
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: there's so much stimulation, right, and I have to honestly,

770
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: I have to stay kind of create a mental bubble

771
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 3: around myself just to keep my head where it needs

772
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: to be in order to do the job. And by

773
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: the way, add to that, like how dang cold it was,

774
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: there's so much just you feel it in your skin.

775
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: It's all that much more input or stimulation right that

776
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 3: your system has to absorb. And so I really try

777
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: to stay in my own head because honestly, it is overwhelming,

778
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: and it's so easy to start getting caught up and

779
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 3: everything that's happening in that moment. My joy, for you know,

780
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: whatever word we can use here, My joy, my satisfaction

781
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 3: comes in knowing I did the very best I could,

782
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: even if it wasn't perfect, I did the very best

783
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 3: I could. I feel proud to be part of something

784
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: like that. I felt honored just to be part of

785
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: the Chicago Sports Network. And this was I mean, this

786
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: thing had its own media life. It was unbelievable.

787
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it was, and it will. Can you continue to

788
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: be you know, the guys in the booth are like, gosh, nobody,

789
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: nobody does it better. And you're you're a trained singer.

790
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Right last time we talked to you, I think you

791
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: were doing an opera in Elmhurst and and you're so

792
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: good at this, but you mentioned something eron I want

793
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: to I want to hit you on this. You said,

794
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: even though it might not have been perfect, is there

795
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: something that you didn't like about your performance? Because I

796
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: certainly couldn't tell.

797
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: You, know what, I've always quibbled about things with myself. Yeah,

798
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: like I was very I mean, my anxiety, not anxiety.

799
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: My energy level is so high and I'm trying to

800
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: keep it, like my breathing down, my heart rate stage,

801
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 3: just have this interior calm. So like I'm the first

802
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: phrase O say, can you see by the downs I

803
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: breathed early life? Now that might seem dumb to somebody,

804
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: but I it's not what I normally do, right, I

805
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 3: normally don't breathe before early life. But I was using

806
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 3: air way too bad, and so little things like that

807
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: just it just you're under a microscope, and you're under

808
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 3: one in your own mind, too, right, and it just

809
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: it just jumps out in my head and I'm like,

810
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 3: damn it, I should not have had to do that.

811
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: Well, you're the gold standard. You're the gold standard when

812
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: it comes I mean, and when people think of Chicago.

813
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: They think of Jim Corneilison at the Big Barn and

814
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: at the charity events you do and everything else. Can

815
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: I ask how how did you come about being the guy?

816
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: You know, because everybody remembers what was it twenty ten

817
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: when the Hawks first had their first Stanley Cupp run

818
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the Hawks were going I

819
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: think it was twenty ten. You know you were already there.

820
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: How did you get this gig? Because you know, I

821
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: can't see one without the other. You are uniquely a

822
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: Chicago thing.

823
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, you know, I moved here because the lyric

824
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: Copper invited me, and then I started doing a fewthoms

825
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: every year for the Blackhawks. In Owaito nine, they asked

826
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 3: me to do all of them and it went on TV,

827
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 3: right you remember that, and the team was so dang

828
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 3: good right out of the gate, so Oaito nine Jonathan Taves,

829
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: Patrick Kane the very first Winter Classic in two thousand

830
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: and nine, I sang that, and then that year we

831
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: went to the Western Conference Finals but lost to the

832
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: dreaded Red Woodings. The next year we want to Stanley

833
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: Cup and all of this just created so it went

834
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 3: so fast, you know, six months later I sang the

835
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: Bears game a playoff game in January against Seattle, and

836
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: then there was so much kind of uprising within the

837
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: city to say we want Jim to sing the Bears

838
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: Packers Western Conference final, that they moved Lee to Wise,

839
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: who had won the American Idol that year, from singing

840
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 3: the anthem and gave him a halftime spot where he

841
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 3: was able to do ten minutes of his own stuff.

842
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 3: So it worked out really well for both of us.

843
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: But that kind of exposure, the way that took off,

844
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 3: it just really grounded me in kind of the Chicago

845
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 3: land and certainly the hockey world's.

846
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 7: History.

847
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, right, I don't I don't

848
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: know if there's one person in Chicago that doesn't want

849
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: to see you do this at every event, including every

850
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: home Cubs game, every Sox game, every Batavia but high

851
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: school football game. And you know, with with the Bears

852
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: in this proposed move to Indiana, maybe when when, if

853
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: that happens, Jim, We're going to talk with the governor

854
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: of Indiana tomorrow with six thirty, but maybe we can

855
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: get you to sing back home again in Indiana at

856
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: every Bears game. Because whether you know this or not

857
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: Jim sings back home again in Indiana at every Indy

858
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: five hundred and that's.

859
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: A special moment at that race too. I mean that's

860
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 3: the Coleman nation of the entire pre race, uh you know,

861
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: ritual or schedule or whatever, and that's just a fantastic

862
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 3: moment in uh in Indiana and race car racing history.

863
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: As you know you've been there.

864
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Right, Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, buddy, rest go rest

865
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: that instrument. I know that that that was. It was

866
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: just so cool to see you just knock it out

867
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: of the park again on national TV. What a great

868
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: year and you know what, Chicago needs some wins. I

869
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: think the Bears gave us that, and that National Anthem

870
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 1: certainly did as well. I'm so proud of so proud

871

Speaker 1: of you, Buddy and H and H and thanks thanks

Speaker 1: Corneillissen on w LS A M eight ninety. Well, the

880
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: polar Plunge in Chicago is Saturday. I'm looking ahead towards

881
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: the forecast. Nick. It's going to be a ballmy five degrees.

882
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: But you know what, the lake temperature is warmer than that,

883
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: so there's solace in that. Brian Marshall is the founder

884
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: of the Chicago Polar Plunge and the Bear Club. Brian,

885
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: my first question for you this morning is anybody ever

886
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: died doing this?

887
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 4: I hope not that I know.

888
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: All Okay, well, you know what I might be able

889
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: to help you out with that It would be great publicity.

890
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: Well here, Brian Marshall, the Chicago Polar Plunge. First of all,

891
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: please tell me the charity component to this and who

892
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: we help out when we wear the swimsuits and jump

893
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: into the lake this Saturday when it's a minus or

894
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, plus five degrees here in Chicago.

895
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 14: So we try to find local Chicago families who needed

896
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 14: just a bit of extra help. So this year we're

897
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 14: providing financial grants to fourteen different families around the Chicagoland area,

898
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 14: ranging anywhere from the two thousand dollars up to ten

899
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 14: thousand dollars each just to help pay with medical bills,

900
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 14: rent housing, like day to day groceries, anything that they need,

901
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 14: just to make things a bit easier.

902
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: And how many people do you expect out there on

903
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: Chicago's like front And exactly does this happen at North

904
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: Avenue Beach? Is this where you do this?

905
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 14: Ours is at Oak Street Beach And so far we've

906
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 14: just got over eight hundred people registered, So it'll be

907
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 14: one of our biggest plunges that we've had over the years.

908
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 14: Right now, we're still planning and assuming that everything is

909
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 14: going forward. I know, I know that forecast looks pretty

910
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 14: rough work.

911
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Wait a second, are you telling me

912
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: that here in Chicago this pound your chest, tough guy

913
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: down that if it's cold, we might not do this.

914
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 14: Oh, it's not always necessarily cold. Sometimes is the beach condition.

915
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 14: I think if we start to see that that forecast

916
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 14: single digits is probably okay. If that if that windshield

917
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 14: starts getting into really negative, we really have to take

918
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 14: a look at the safety of our people. We want

919
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 14: everybody not just just to come to our event this year,

920
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 14: but we want them back next year and the year after.

921
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: I get the safety part, but make no mistake that

922
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: if this doesn't happen, since social Stephanie wanted to do this,

923
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: she and I are doing this no matter what. Brian

924
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: Marshall is here. Brian is the founder of the Chicago

925
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: Polar Bear Club.

926
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 8: Neck Brian, has there ever been a situation where there's

927
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 8: been ice and you guys have maybe had to cut

928
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 8: through the ice to go in?

929
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 14: So we've had probably two or three years when there's

930
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 14: like a sinlair of ice. You can sorry a sin

931
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 14: laar of ice. You can do that and still go

932
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 14: in and it's really fun. We have had years where

933
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 14: sometimes there's a huge ice shelf that forms that you

934
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 14: just can't actually get down to the water and then

935
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 14: get back out. So I think twenty fourteen we had

936
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 14: to cancel because it was just completely unsafe. So there's

937
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 14: Lake Michigan is a crazy place like it. There's a

938
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 14: lot of different conditions that you can face there.

939
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people forget about it, you know, and

940
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: if you somehow get some kind of a north or

941
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: and east wind, I'd have to imagine that the waves

942
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: are also something you have to take into account too.

943
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: If that lake gets angry. It could get dangerous, but

944
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: it looks like a good time either way. Brian, how

945
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,239

00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 4: You know.

989
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: We're always looking for something to do. Uh. You know

990
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: how they always have the dragon boat races at some

991
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: ponds some where. It's some municipality. Could we and I

992
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: know they're expensive, but could we do it like a

993
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: casket race in the water.

994
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 7: Well, we have all kinds of people that ask us

995
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 7: for the Viking funeral, So we have the river right

996
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 7: behind the funeral home here and Wheeling and uh, you

997
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 7: know they always want us to put them on a

998
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 7: gondola or something and then shoot an ar row with

999
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 7: a flaming.

1000
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: And just and burn people in their burn them out.

1001
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 7: You know, Viking funeral. We can promotion by a funeral.

1002
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 7: Get a sausage, David.

1003
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 1: David, I could see it right now. Bears. The Bears

1004
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: are back. Right next year, maybe the Vikings come to

1005
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: town and instead of playing the horrid Green Bay package,

1006
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: we play the Vikings. We have a Viking funeral courtesy

1007
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: of a Colesat funeral.

1008
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 7: That would be great. I'm telling you, Bears are back,

1009
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 7: so I love it. That was a great season. I

1010
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 7: had a great time. Everybody had a great time, and

1011
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 7: you know, had we we were living on borrowed time

1012
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 7: and borrowed money and and frankly the casino's money. I

1013
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 7: thought it was a great time. That last play, that

1014
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 7: was so epic and everybody jumping up. I just I

1015
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 7: see those those video montages online and it's so exciting

1016
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 7: to see everyone so excited.

1017
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: A star has been born in Chicago, and it takes

1018
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: us away from the news. And in contrast that, if

1019
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: you will, to what you're seeing in Minneapolis and insurrections

1020
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: and all of this kind of talk, well, you know.

1021
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 7: It's it's worth mentioning that, you know, these sanctuary cities

1022
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 7: are you know, completely opposite of what they should be doing.

1023
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 7: They should be asking for help instead of pushing the

1024
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 7: help away and revoking the help and saying, you know,

1025
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 7: we don't want this. I think you know that there's

1026
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 7: a there's a case for the mayor of Minneapolis and

1027
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 7: the governor of Minnesota to go to jail. I mean,

1028
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 7: these guys are blocking this that it's completely unhinged, you know.

1029
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 7: So if you look at the Insurrection Act, it's it's

1030
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 7: it's done because uh, it's because somebody has, you know,

1031
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 7: they're just out of control. And I think we're there.

1032
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 7: I mean, they can perform law enforcement duties, they can

1033
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 7: assist the police, they can they can go over them.

1034
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 7: And so I think we're there. And I think that

1035
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 7: there's a lot of cities, not just Minneapolis, that need

1036
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 7: to have this kind of law enforcement. And frankly, I'm

1037
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 7: here for it. I don't want martial law, but it's certainly.

1038
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 7: The Insurrection Act isn't martial law, but it's pretty.

1039
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 3: Close to it.

1040
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: The old double standards that we see from the left

1041
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: are just astounding, right because everybody wants to go back

1042
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: to jan six, Oh my god, it was an insurrection.

1043
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: But you tell me you breached the doors of a

1044
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: church on Sunday, You went into a federally protected place

1045
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: of worship, you trustpassed, you act stupid. You've got soy

1046
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: boys with air fifteen strapped to their chest all of

1047
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: a sudden on all of this. This is the two

1048
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: things I take away from at one, we've learned that

1049
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: white lives matter again, Nick, and that the left loves guns.

1050
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: Did you ever in a million years think? And I

1051
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: just want to play this for you this morning, and

1052
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: this is our friend, David Colesak. David's from a turnkey

1053
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: dot pro But here is a Minneapolis guy. This is

1054
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: a liberal standing outside of home with his AR fifteen.

1055
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: What in the world is going on?

1056
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 4: Do you live in the neighborhood?

1057
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 5: Yes, this is my block, this is my area. I

1058
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 5: don't go into other people's neighborhoods and try to Today's

1059
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 5: that I protect my people.

1060
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: He's protecting his people. David. You know, we're not just

1061
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: one people anymore. We're not the United States of America.

1062
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: We're kind of a soup du jour and I'll a

1063
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: cart people if you will. We have different laws and

1064
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: values and that all goes neighborhood to neighborhood. Now in

1065
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota where now you have liberals with guns, which is

1066
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: just astounding to me.

1067
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 7: Well, it's interesting too that this insurrection acting. Everybody goes like, well,

1068
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 7: that's Trump and he's going to be a dictator. But

1069
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 7: it's been used. In nineteen fifty seven, they used it

1070
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 7: in Little Rock, Arkansas, when President Eisenhower sent federal troops

1071
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 7: to enforce school's pea segregation. When the state resisted in

1072
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 7: the nineteen sixties and the civil rights they used it

1073
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 7: to protect civil rights and enforce federal law. In nineteen

1074
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 7: ninety two, I lived in Los Angeles when the Rodney

1075
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 7: King riots happened, and I lived through that happening, and

1076
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 7: it was frankly needed because they were burning down grocery

1077
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 7: stores and just regular mom and pops all over LA.

1078
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 7: And it was the scariest thing I've ever lived through,

1079
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 7: but it worked.

1080
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: Three one, two, nine hundred. I want your calls on

1081
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: your tie rate and what you think about the world,

1082
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: the Bears, whatever at hand coming up here after the break.

1083
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: But David, I have to go back to a text

1084
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: we just got. Did David's funeral home get any business

1085
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: from this Bears game on Sunday? And the way it ended?

1086
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: So I think what they're asking is, have you got

1087
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: any people having grabbers from the Chicago Bear season?

1088
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 8: No?

1089
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 7: No, we haven't. And you know, frankly, I think it

1090
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 7: was such a great It was a great season. I mean,

1091
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 7: it was just it was really fun and unexpected, and

1092
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 7: I'm hopeful for the future because I've got two young kids,

1093
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 7: not young kids, twenty two and seventeen years old that

1094
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 7: are part of my family and they are just Avid fans,

1095
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 7: you know, just it's great. It's great to see the

1096
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 7: city and everybody like kind of together on one subject,

1097
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 7: even though it's a silly circus and it's you know,

1098
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 7: it's silly, it's nonsense, but it is.

1099
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: It is happy, you know, and you know, and it's

1100
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: it's funny because and I think you spoke to this

1101
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: last week. It creates a diversion over what's really going

1102
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: on in this city. And in this instance it's okay

1103
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: not to be compared to the version going on in Minneapolis,

1104
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: where these people just want to forget about all this

1105
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: Somali fraud and everything else that's going on. David. Always

1106
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: nice to visit with you. I miss us. I look

1107
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you again. Bud. There's an old song

1108
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: that says, why is there always someone trying to tear

1109
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: us in two? And I just want to read something

1110
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: that went on over the weekend. If we're going to

1111
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: ensure that every single person in this city, this city

1112
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: being Chicago, if we're going to ensure that every single

1113
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: person living in this city is protected, Nick, do you

1114
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: feel protected? I don't know. I feel protected.

1115
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 6: I do.

1116
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: Here we have to demand more, not just from one another,

1117
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 1: but those with means said Mayor Brandon Johnson, in order

1118
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: to ensure the descendants of slaves. And believe me, we're

1119
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 1: all descendants of slaves somewhere right, I mean everybody. Slavery

1120
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: is not Slavery is not inherently a United States thing.

1121
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, read up a little bit. Okay, read a book.

1122
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: As Tom would say to Brandon Mark, Brandon Juncher, he

1123
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: should know better. In order to ensure that the scendence

1124
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: of slaves, hopes and aspirations can become realized. We have

1125
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: to challenge that the ultra rich and these big corporations

1126
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: have to pay their fair share and taxes. They don't.

1127
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: They don't need our protection. They got a protector. This

1128
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: is what Brandon Johnson and Don Lemon are as a

1129
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: Tom calls him, Don Lemon, we're talking about at a breakfast,

1130
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: a Martin Luther King breakfast here in Chicago. You know,

1131
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: if we keep tearing each other apart, and keep saying

1132
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: that this is my neighborhood, that these are my people,

1133
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: and you're this and you're that, and what do we

1134
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: do We segregate? And I thought that was over three

1135
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: point two five eighty nine hundred four year calls. It

1136
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 1: looks like we have Katie. Katie, you're up on Tyrae Tuesday.

1137
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 15: Hi Katie, Hi there, how are you?

1138
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: I am, well, good morning, welcome in.

1139
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 15: Well, thank you for taking my call. I have voted

1140
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 15: for President Trump three different times. I think the man

1141
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 15: is right on target with some of the things he

1142
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 15: promised us and he's trying to do. But this thing

1143
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 15: with Greenland is really out of control. And it's almost

1144
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 15: like every time he gives a speech, now it's the

1145
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 15: greatest thing that ever happened. It's the only time in

1146
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,959
Speaker 15: the world that anyone ever saw anything. And now he's

1147
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 15: doing this with Greenland, and he's going to tick off

1148
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 15: every single of one of our allies. And he's accused

1149
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 15: he's trying to do to Greenland what he's accusing China

1150
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 15: of trying to do with Thailand. So, and then the

1151
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 15: thing that's really getting me is why is he cozying

1152
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 15: up to Putin? He put Putin on the board for Gaza.

1153
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 15: What in the hell is going on with this man's mind?

1154
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 15: Is he off the rails? Finally, Katie, he coming like Biden.

1155
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: Hey, Katie, I appreciate the call, Katie. Oh here, Yeah,

1156
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions as to why he would

1157
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: put put on the peace board. In what Katie just mentioned.

1158
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't even certain if Putin knows

1159
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: how to spell the word piece, but I get it

1160
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: as far as as Denmark and Greenland. I will read

1161
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: you coming up this morning at seven point fifty what

1162
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: he rode to Johan the president of Finland. I thought

1163
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: it was Jonas. I thought it was Jonas, right, Jonas brothers. Yeah,

1164
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that and listen. My question is

1165
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: this is in President Trump's conjecture is well, just because

1166
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: people showed up at Greenland or Denmark, you know, to

1167
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: make it a country, doesn't you know? His thing is

1168
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: is that? And what I don't understand is why can't

1169
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: you go in there and build your Golden Dome defense

1170
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: network and leave this a sovereign nation. And I think

1171
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: it's a big, weird gray area. But what you've seen

1172
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: with this guy is peace through through strength. And you know,

1173
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: for many years the United States has just sat by

1174
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: idly while other countries have done stuff like this. Now

1175
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: what he wants to do is what in his mind

1176
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: thinks this is the best thing to do, is it?

1177
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, we have this conversation quite often here,

1178
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: but you know, as far as Greenland and then Denmark

1179
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: and NATO, it's gonna get interesting. Eduardo is in Tampa

1180
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: this morning, listing on the stream. You can stream as well.

1181
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: Go to the app store you can download our app.

1182
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: It's a nice app, eddie Tampa. What's it like down

1183
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: there this morning? A little Shelley.

1184
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 16: Yes, it's in the forties, but we're gonna warm up

1185
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 16: to the seventies later.

1186
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: Nice, nice, nice, Yeah, what can we do for you?

1187
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 7: Simon?

1188
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 16: About this Sunday? So they brought up that banned sixty

1189
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 16: minutes segment with Sharon O'PONDI about those prisoners going to

1190
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 16: Al Sabador. But I got to bring this up. Nobody's

1191
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 16: brought it up to see that Romos was on there too.

1192
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 16: She was covering the iceing in Minneapolis. Now she speaks Spanish,

1193
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 16: but Saron does it. She has to come in there

1194
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 16: with an interpreter. Why they got the wrong reporters doing

1195
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 16: the wrong story.

1196
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: How did a decade?

1197
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, I got to bring that up in this kind

1198
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 16: of segment. Doug, it's pretty ridiculous that that shared should

1199
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 16: be in Minnesota and Cecilia, who speaks Fanish to be

1200
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 16: covering the Alsabadar beat.

1201
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1202
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: And let me give you a little Let me give

1203
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: you insight as to how news organizations and people that

1204
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: cover the news work. Every one of the news directors

1205
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: or program directors at ward to share the same brain cell. Yeah,

1206
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: so it's hard. It's hard for him to get this

1207
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: stuff down path. Thanks Eddie, appreciate you. Bob is in

1208
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: Shorewood this morning. Robert, you're on wls A M eight

1209
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: ninety here on Tyra Tuesday. Go ahead, Robert.

1210
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 17: The word slaves comes from the work root work flow,

1211
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 17: which means Eastern European. You know, the Silk Road just

1212
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 17: wasn't for silk, It was for human beings as well,

1213
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 17: including children. Second, and most importantly, when Black Lives Matter

1214
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 17: was real popular, I was up on a forty foot

1215
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 17: ladder and I got people screaming and yelling at me

1216
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 17: about slavery. And then I would look at them and go, where.

1217
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Did you get your shoes.

1218
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 7: Wearing?

1219
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 17: Ye that are made by yellow slaves today? So don't

1220
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 17: have known to me about slavery. But I wasn't alive

1221
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 17: for it. My parents weren't alive for it. My grandparents

1222
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 17: weren't even alive for it. Why don't you talk about

1223
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 17: something we could do something about right now? Because switching

1224
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 17: and yelling all day.

1225
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Robert. You you bring up a good place. See,

1226
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: that's what ty rad too is supposed to be about.

1227
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: Right there, right on, Robert, right on, and and And

1228
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: the reason they do this is that for some reason,

1229
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: there are powers that play here in the United States

1230
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: of America, which is, you know, still the best place

1231
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: to live on the on God's green earth. But they

1232
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: want to divide and keep us divided. And what's the

1233
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: end result to that? What are you going to get

1234
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: out of this dust up in Minneapolis? What is it

1235
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: about lunatic white liberal women that want to break into

1236
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: church with Don Lemon and shout people down on a Sunday?

1237
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: What is the end result? What would you like to

1238
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: see happen? Because it's not just that people want ice

1239
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: out of their communities. They want to continue the influx

1240
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: of people that are here illegally, that have done bad things.

1241
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: And listen, if you want to come here and create

1242
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: a life for yourself, there's a path to do that,

1243
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: and you do it the right way. But all of

1244
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: a sudden. We don't follow the rule of law anymore,

1245
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 1: because everybody is more important than you. Everybody thinks they're

1246
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: more important than everyone. There's no coalescing anymore. The Chicago

1247
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Bears work this year because a guy named Ben Johnson

1248
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: got these guys to believe in a certain goal. And

1249
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: when you work together and you can achieve a certain goal,

1250
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: that's how it happens. But you can't do that if

1251
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: you have one person that isn't interested in the in

1252
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: the success of us, either as a team or as

1253
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: a nation. And as that continues to go, you're gonna

1254
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: have problems. I'm not saying you don't have a right

1255
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: to protest. I'm just saying where do you want it

1256
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: to end up? What do you want? What do you

1257
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: think that the result with you? Because if you want

1258
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: to we've had we've had this argument before in this nation.

1259
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: And is that what you're looking for? Civil unrest? Is

1260
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: that going to lead to what do you want? A

1261
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: civil war? Do you want to live in If you

1262
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: want to live in a place that acts the way

1263
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: you wanted to act, move to Venezuela. They're ready for you.

1264
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Don't stay here if you don't like it. Here go

1265
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: somewhere else. You're not welcome here no more. You know,

1266
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: I tell you when you look at the towns and

1267
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: villages around this city that do it right, you know

1268
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: what you just think about Rosemont seventy years since the

1269
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: incorporations of Rosemont, Donald Stevens, Donald E. Stevens. What he

1270
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: did was he sat down with I think it was

1271
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: eighty four people that lived in a neighborhood and they said,

1272
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: why can't we do our own thing here in a

1273
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: village that really was built on swampland just adjacent to

1274
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: butch o'harrow Field. And man, they've they've made en roads.

1275
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: It's just beautiful. We love him because he always gives

1276
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: us free stuff. We welcome in. Nick's best friend, Mayor

1281
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:30,440

1282
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just I'm still put back that he went

1283
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 10: across that line and did that. But you know, a

1284
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 10: BET's of Batman, you got to you gotta live up

1288
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: to this in the village? Is it an anniversary or birthday?

1289
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter.

1290
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 10: It's it's actually today is the anniversary of the of

1291
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 10: the referendum question. And when they, you know, those eighty

1292
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 10: four people elected a twenty seven year old insurance guy

1293
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 10: to be their mayor. And you know he took getting

1294
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 10: ran with it. And you know, nobody else wanted the

1295
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 10: two and a half square miles of Rosemont. My old

1296
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 10: man went to the surrounding communities and asked for them

1297
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 10: to incorporate our little swamp land into it. You know,

1298
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 10: they decided to go alone.

1299
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, you and I are friends.

1300
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about a lot of things. And

1301
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I've said this before. Your father had the vision, but

1302
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: you've really taken it to the next level. I can't

1303
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: help but think that he'd be really, really proud of

1304
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: what you and I know that you, you know, you've

1305
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: got a good team in place there have done. We

1306
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: talk about this a lot, and obviously we do a

1307
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: lot with you and the radio station of Rosemont, and

1308
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: we bust each other's chops a lot, But talk about

1309
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: the success story, about the amount of money that you're

1310
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: little village returns to the place where you're driving to

1311
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: right now. Bradley's also a state representative, So you're going

1312
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: down to a I believe you've got to hit the

1313
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: floor today at two o'clock. What kind of money does

1314
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Rosemont return of the state of Illinois when it comes

1315
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: to taxes? I mean, it's got to be monumental.

1316
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 10: Well, you know, there's a there's an armored car that

1317
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 10: runs regularly down fifty five with the taxas seats of

1318
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 10: the village of Rosemont. Yeah, and you know the exact numbers.

1319
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 10: I'm not certain, but you know, and I know Rosemont

1320
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 10: is a very unique community. But if all the communities

1321
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 10: of Illinois were fortunate enough to be able to send

1322
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 10: a portion of the tax revenues that we do down

1323
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 10: to Springfield, there wouldn't be a two billion dollar budget gap,

1324
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 10: where maybe there will be. They'd probably find other.

1325
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Things that's wrong, that's right, because we don't have a

1326
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

1327
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, and and that's that's uh. You know the drum

1328
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 10: we beat every budget season. It's it's gonna be difficult,

1329
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 10: uh to get through this session, you know. And third,

1330
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 10: I think it's the third Wednesday of February. The governor

1331
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 10: comes out and tells us here's what my my plan is.

1332
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 10: And and then we got to make that work. And

1333
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 10: and you know, when we can all work together and

1334
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 10: try to find solutions, things go much more smoothly. But

1335
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 10: sometimes that that really doesn't happen down here. But you know,

1336
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 10: like I said, Rosemont signs a lot of money, not

1337
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 10: only to the state of Illinois but Cook County, and

1338
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 10: we provide jobs and uh, it's it's uh, you know,

1339
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 10: it's it's an engine.

1340
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Do you do you think that when uh, you know,

1341
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: all those years ago, seventy years ago today, those eighty

1342
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: four people got together and said, yeah, we're gonna make

1343
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: this a town. And now you've got gosh, major shopping

1344
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: attractions and some of the best eateries in the world world.

1345
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: You've got a sporting things that you do, You've got

1346
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: the All State Arena. Did you think your dad would

1347
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: ever imagine something on the on the Stratis Fair Stratis

1348
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Fair scope of the Not So Pro Bowler Tour hosted

1349
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: by Nick and.

1350
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 10: Ray No, No, I mean I think that there. There

1351
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 10: was a distinct vision there and and as the airport grew,

1352
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 10: the I think the thoughts and the desires expanded. The

1353
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 10: Convention Center was an old halo lighting factory and and uh,

1354
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 10: you know, my dad was good friends with with Jack Pritzker,

1355
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 10: who was a prince and yes, the same Pritzkert and uh,

1356
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 10: and he built the family built that high hotel. They

1357
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 10: were actually the first management firm of the Convention Center

1358
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 10: once the halo lighting factory was transformed. And you know

1359
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 10: that's up to nearly a million square feed of exhibition

1360
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 10: and meeting space right now. And you know, then off

1361
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 10: the success of that, there was that area where the

1362
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 10: arena is was you know, it would drizzle and the

1363
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 10: area would flood. That was all single family homes. And

1364
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 10: he had the forethought to build the first indoor arena

1365
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 10: in the Chicago land marketplace in fifty years and that

1366
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:25,560
Speaker 10: enticed the folks at the United Center to build the

1367
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 10: United Center. The old Chicago Stadium was an old barn.

1368
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 10: And you know, things happened all for a reason. And

1369
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 10: you know, we're just, you know, proud as could be

1370
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 10: to be where we are and who we are and

1371
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 10: what we are and continued to build on that legacy

1372
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 10: that the old man laid forth with those founding members

1373
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 10: of our community.

1374
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: Well, he certainly he'd certainly be proud of you, and

1375
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: you've taken it next level. And after all these years,

1376
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: to think that Nick and his kids are, you know,

1377
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: just wallering the fruit of your father's and when they

1378
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: go see a wrestling event is absolutely amazing. Well, buddy,

1379
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna do this thing this year, I

1380
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: guess called the Road to rose Mount where we kind

1381
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: of show you your village off because it is absolutely amazing.

1382
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: And if you could please talk to Kings and get us.

1383
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: Nobody else wants us. So it's not so pro bowler tour.

1384
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 1: It's just it's just it's a it's a lot of fun.

1385
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: We got to get people out of their houses, you know,

1386
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: sometime in the next couple months, just to get out

1387
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: and have a little camaraderie. But congratulations on seventy years sir,

1388
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: your dad started it. You certainly have taken to the

1389
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: next level. I don't think anybody would have expected, uh,

1390
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, two and a half acres of swamp land

1391
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: to be what it is today. But man, you're doing it.

1392
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: It's always nice to have you on the show. Go

1393
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: down there and kick some ass on the state on

1394
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: the on the on the floor of the of the

1395
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: State House.

1396
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 10: Okay, all right, guys, thanks and it's always great to

1397
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 10: talk to you.

1398
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 17: Nick.

1399
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Thanks, mister Mayor. We'll send you a Nick Pick. I'd

1400
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: say it's got some problems, but we love her, there's

1401
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And looking at beautiful What a

1402
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: beautiful morning in Chicago, all being a little chilly. We

1403
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: like to call it fresh. That's what we call it.

1404
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Our friend General Richard Newton joining us now on the

1405
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: hotline here on the Big eighty nine WLS. What is

1406
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: this Greenland strategy? This is something that's not new. And

1407
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: Katie brought this up. Katie when we had Tyrae Tuesday.

1408
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: She wanted to know where's Trump's mind on all of this.

1409
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: And you know, as we get through that segment, my

1410
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: deal is to just get callers on the air. I

1411
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: want people to be able to say what they want

1412
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: to say, and we'll have time to talk about this

1413
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff later on, like right now with the General.

1414
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: But this is nothing new, I believe, and the General

1415
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: will correct me if I'm wrong. But I think it

1416
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: was in nineteen forty six. Then President Truman offered right

1417
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,959
Speaker 1: around one hundred million dollars, which you think about back then,

1418
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. It still is. But back

1419
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: then he wanted to buy Greenland, but Denmark said no,

1420
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: go home. So general, welcome back to WLS. This is

1421
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: nothing new. Can you please tell us why it's important

1422
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: to US security that we have Greenland?

1423
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 12: Well, well, certainly has changed since nineteen forty six. Rate

1424
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 12: great to be with you always enjoyed being on WLS.

1425
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 12: Let's go back further than that though. Actually, the United

1426
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 12: States purchased the Danish West Indies from Denmark in nineteen

1427
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 12: seventeen for twenty five million dollars, now known today obviously

1428
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 12: so the Virgin Islands. And so that's just put in

1429
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 12: a historical perspective. But let's talk Greenland specifically in twenty

1430
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 12: twenty six. It's larger than Alaska. It's extraordinary, vast. What's changed,

1431
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 12: certainly of the last twenty years. Perhaps even more so

1432
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 12: is the fact that our adversaries, as well as US

1433
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 12: national security objectives, are increasing their focus and endeavoring to

1434
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 12: control Greenland first and foremost Russia and China their movement

1435
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 12: navigation of the high seeds up in that Arctic region

1436
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 12: is becoming more pronounced, particularly with the warming conditions up

1437
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 12: on a polar cap in the Arctic area has give

1438
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 12: them more access to that area in their lanes of

1439
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 12: travel with their ships. What's strategic about that RAY is

1440
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 12: what we call the gi Uk Gap. Greenland Iceland, United

1441
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 12: Kingdom is about seven eight hundred miles wide, but that's

1442
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 12: where Russia specifically now China with the largest navy in

1443
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 12: the world, RAY can transit a very key part of

1444
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 12: the world, that northern Nordic area Arctic region. Secondly, we

1445
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 12: have in a significant US military presence there, a growing presence.

1446
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 12: We used to have as I recall, eighteen military installations

1447
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 12: for down to one and that's actually been all well

1448
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 12: and good and fought through. But we have a major

1449
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 12: space operation space monitoring installation there missile defense, missile warning.

1450
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,839
Speaker 12: Should Russia attack US with their intercottinentablistic missiles or their bombers,

1451
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 12: guess where.

1452
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 3: They're going to go.

1453
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 12: Right up, They're going to go right over Greenland. And

1454
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 12: so with the presence focused on the Golden Dome. Third

1455
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 12: point is strategic minerals, just to rare earth minerals. We

1456
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 12: can get them elsewhere around the world, but you know, China, Vietnam, Brazil,

1457
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 12: and so forth. However, back to China, they control a

1458
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 12: really strong long mastion of those strategic minerals. So it

1459
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 12: has become a more focused area. I believe the presence.

1460
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 12: You know, I'm going to give them credit on this note.

1461
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 12: This note is the fact just reemphasizing focusing on Greenland

1462
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 12: I think is good moving forward for the United States

1463
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 12: in terms of our national secrity objectives. But how we

1464
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 12: go about doing that, that's a whole different story. We

1465
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 12: get into that.

1466
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: Well, well, let me ask you this, because you know,

1467
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: when we have this argument, Denmark will say that they

1468
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: can defend Greenland. Can you talk to the ridiculousness of

1469
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: that statement.

1470
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 12: Well, first off, Denmark is a very close to ally

1471
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 12: the United States. They are a founding member of NATO,

1472
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,480
Speaker 12: and I'm a very strong supporter of the Translantic relationship,

1473
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 12: especially NATO and alliance is becoming more and more important

1474
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 12: even than its certainly right now in this day and age.

1475
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 12: But they're the only nation that's really capable of quote,

1476
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 12: defending Greenland from a nation statecandpoint is the United States

1477
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 12: of America. We can do that with NATO forces, and

1478
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 12: we want to do that in an aligned manner. But

1479
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 12: let's not kid ourselves. It's the only the United States

1480
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 12: that can really defend and frankly, as we're emerging now

1481
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 12: coming out of June twenty second with Midnight Hammer, when

1482
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 12: we with Israelis, you know, with are air campaign. But

1483
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 12: the capstone was on June twenty second with seven D

1484
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 12: two bombers and thirty Tamahawk Cruz missiles destroying the Irani

1485
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 12: nuclear weapons capability. And then with then Zewale and so forth,

1486
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 12: an extraordinary stanch and grab operation on January third and

1487
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 12: so forth. So we have a little bit of the

1488
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 12: windows that you know, at our tails here is, but

1489
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 12: at our backs. But the point is is that the

1490
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 12: only nation in the world that can really stand up

1491
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 12: to Putin and Chi and their growing interest for their

1492
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,719
Speaker 12: national security interest in Greenland, that's just the United States from.

1493
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: A diplomacy standpoint. Where where do you see and this

1494
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: is a general Richard Newton, Senior National a security contributor

1495
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: to News Nation, where do you see this ending up

1496
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: where people are happy and the US has its security?

1497
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can uh look at this, you

1498
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: know through your crystal ball. How does this send up?

1499
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, let me let me first talk about it,

1500
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 12: and I'm gonna get there real quick. Let me talk

1501
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 12: about the three path that President Trump has either uh

1502
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 12: tried to articulate or tried to discuss in the Oval

1503
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 12: office or in tweets as well. As one is to

1504
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 12: use military force to take Greenland. That is the last option.

1505
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 12: That's not even an option, right right. I think I think, frankly,

1506
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 12: I think that's a again a very strong supportive of

1507
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,839
Speaker 12: what's President's policy has been. That's a ludicrous option, period dot.

1508
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 12: If we did that, you can you can kiss NATO goodbye,

1509
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 12: and that would be extraordinarily bad for not only US

1510
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 12: MAW security now but for generations. Second, we could go

1511
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 12: purchase you know, Greenland, but that comes with a lot

1512
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 12: of challenges as well purchase it. And in terms of

1513
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 12: now if we purchase Greenland's and we're also responsible for

1514
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 12: Greenland as a as a as a state assigned now

1515
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 12: to the United States and everything that comes with that,

1516
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 12: and I just don't think that's that's a logical move there.

1517
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 12: My third option option I like is what I call

1518
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 12: the soft power route of this, we use all instruments

1519
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 12: of US national security, diplomatic, economic finance. We make agreements

1520
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 12: with Denmark. By the way, I'm very close to associate

1521
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 12: with the nation state of Denmark and have been for

1522
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 12: the last for a while now. But I can tell

1523
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 12: you the Danes and their their government would would invite

1524
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 12: the opportunity to grow US presence in Denmark and so forth.

1525
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 12: Think of Greenland, that's a protectorate of Denmark, but they

1526
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 12: would invite US, I guarantee you in terms of growing

1527
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 12: our military footprint, growing our national security. Just the fact

1528
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 12: that we're emphasizing that perhaps we partner with them in

1529
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 12: an economic financial deal to take those you know, those

1530
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 12: those strateguing minerals you know, out of the ground and

1531
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 12: then provide it as a commodity. We both benefit from

1532
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 12: that economically financed. And then with Denmark, if we have

1533
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 12: that one on one little ship with Denmark in Greenland

1534
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 12: that's fostered and grown even more so than it has

1535
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,959
Speaker 12: been in the past, that's also good for the NATO alliance.

1536
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 12: And what does Putin understand He understands power, he understands capabilities,

1537
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 12: certainly understands and will, but he also understands that it's

1538
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 12: not just him trying to break apart the alliance. But

1539
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 12: now you have a more unified alliance diplomatically, economically, financially, militarily,

1540
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 12: and so forth over Greenland and other aspects of US

1541
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 12: any security on the continent.

1542
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: And certainly Denmark understands what's at play, right. I mean,

1543
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,560
Speaker 1: if they think that the world peace is going to

1544
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: save them from s or from putin, that you know

1545
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 1: that would be I think a short sighted at best.

1546
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: There's so much we can talk about, and this is

1547
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: general Richard Newton. General. I want to ask you, I

1548
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: want to shift gears here and get your take on

1549
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: what's going on in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With what we've seen

1550
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: there and now with the chance that we might use

1551
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act, with what's going on in Minneapolis, how

1552
01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: do you control a situation where it certainly seems to

1553
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: me there's a certain faction of society that don't like

1554
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the rules of the laws and the borders of the

1555
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: United States of America, and there's many people that have

1556
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 1: come here illegally that want to bring their ways with them.

1557
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: How do we how do want how do we get

1558
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Aaron too? How do we get out of it.

1559
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 12: I think the fact that the President has employed the

1560
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 12: National Guard to support local and state law enforcement, you

1561
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 12: know in places you know, La, Portland and so forth,

1562
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 12: and certainly Washington, d C. I think that's been prudent

1563
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 12: on the president's part. I think the fact is number

1564
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 12: one job for the president of the United States, any president,

1565
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 12: particularly this president, is to protect the American people, and

1566
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 12: certainly and so forth. But now, if you're talking about

1567
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 12: sending US military forces into Minneapolis and threatening to invoke

1568
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 12: the Insurrection Act, which is a very broad, long standing

1569
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 12: law that allows for in the defense of the United States,

1570
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 12: if the scrie the United States is in peril, the

1571
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 12: president has to do that in a very broad sense.

1572
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 12: I do not believe it's appropriate at this point, but

1573
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 12: I understand with regard to, you know, invoking the Insurrection

1574
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 12: Act to send US troops into Minneapolis, what we ought

1575
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 12: to be doing is making sure they have all the

1576
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 12: resources that are supported by could be National Guard elements,

1577
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 12: it could be certainly you know, federal law enforcement and

1578
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 12: so forth, to support the local authorities and the state authorities.

1579
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 12: I'm a big separation of powers in terms of uh

1580
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 12: the federal aspect of this and the state and local

1581
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 12: piece of this. I don't believe we're in a situation

1582
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 12: where you need to invoke the Insurrection Act in order

1583
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 12: to quell the growing disturbances of the locals and states,

1584
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 12: and those are actually brought in from outside Minnesota, you know,

1585
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 12: to threaten you know, our federal authorities there just trying

1586
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 12: to uphold the law from a federal statute standpoint. And

1587
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 12: so again, my bottom line is, I would not advocate

1588
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 12: for sending US military forces uh to quell disturbance with insurrection.

1589
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 12: It's a very slippery slope rate and I'm just not

1590
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,839
Speaker 12: forward at this point. Final point on that our military

1591
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 12: troops are not necessarily organized, trained and equipped to put

1592
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 12: down you know, riots and that type of stuff, or

1593
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 12: or those who are pushing back to our federal authorities

1594
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 12: in this case, they're just not trained to do that.

1595
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 12: Turn that over to National Guard, yes, but local authorities

1596
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 12: and let the federal authorities try to I would compel

1597
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 12: our federal authorities and the state authorities to really more

1598
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 12: so work together here rather than making this a political

1599
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 12: dynamic that then all of a sudden, the slippery slope,

1600
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 12: how do we get here? We're invoking the Interaction Act.

1601
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 12: I wouldn't approve, I would not advise the president.

1602
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, I guess, I guess again, how did we

1603
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: get to this point? And I don't know what the

1604
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: you know, the border crisis that we had under Biden,

1605
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: this is what it what had got us, And I

1606
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: just don't know what that administration's thought process was letting

1607
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: so many people. And my friend, it's always great to

1608

Speaker 1: have you on on this radio station. It's it's an

1614
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 12: nation in the world. And I've got my glasses half

1615
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 12: full versus half MPT as we move forward in twenty twenty.

1620
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: why I loved the Bears run. You know, it gave

1621
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 1: somebody something to be happy about. And I'm going to

1622
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,559

Speaker 1: and even I'm going to go down the hall and

1625
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 1: but if the Calumet area of Indiana, and if Gary

1626
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: and Hammond and Saint John and Munster can all vie

1627
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: for the Bears, why can't we have the Hoosiers broadcast

1628
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: on this radio station. I want them now that they're

1629
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,439

1630

Speaker 1: our friends in Indiana next on the Big eighty nine WLS.

1631
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: Who wou'd have thought? You know, I go back to

1632
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 1: I was coming home from up north and it was

1633
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: a while. I don't know why I was coming home

1634
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin. I was out on I or something. I'm

1635
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: listening to the Bear I'm listening to the Aliini and

1636
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: there they just got done playing Purdue, and I want

1637
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: to say, the next game was the Hoosiers. And I'm

1638
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: listening to our golf. Our guys do the call here

1639
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: on the Big eighty nine, and they're like, yeah, you

1640
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: know what, next week, we've got Indiana. That could be

1641
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: a challenge. They look like they're the real deal. But

1642
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: you know what, we're off to a pretty good start too.

1643
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: And now you look back and you're like, oh my god,

1644
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: sixteen and know and it's so cool that you get

1645
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: a Big ten team to go down to a place

1646
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: like Miami and to be able to run with these

1647
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: legendary programs that have won Natties before. This is the

1648
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: first ever. And that that Kurt Signetti, that coach is

1649
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: just an absolute nut. Like I like it from the

1650
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,679
Speaker 1: time he got to Indiana and he's in the press

1651
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 1: conference and people are like, well, what we what do

1652
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: we need to know about you? Win? Google me right

1653
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: and his facial expressions and and and and their their

1654
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: quarterback right, I mean everything. Just he seems like such

1655
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: a good guy. They're a likable team, and I just, uh,

1656
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: I was watching last night and I got to be

1657
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: a truthful. I was up north over the weekend. I

1658
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 1: fell asleep during the game. I woke up for the

1659
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: last two minutes and it had come down to crunch time.

1660
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 1: But they were talking about this Carson Beck. He's the

1661
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes. He admitted that he hasn't

1662
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: been the classes in two years because he had already

1663
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: graduated from the University of I want to say Georgia,

1664
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,520
Speaker 1: University of Georgia. And you do a little background investigation

1665
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: to these guys, and this guy's a good quarterback. He's

1666
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: a great competitor. Right. I don't have a dog in

1667
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 1: the hunt, but it was fun to watch such a

1668
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, two supreme teams going at it, but with

1669
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 1: this new name, likeness and image, you know, and I

1670
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: all stuff. This guy made between three and four million

1671
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: dollars as a as a college quarterback.

1672
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:01,719
Speaker 3: Wow.

1673
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 6: And the crazy thing is, do you know what the

1674
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 6: average age of both teams was?

1675
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:08,879
Speaker 1: Do I dare guess twenty four.

1676
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 6: Not twenty three? Yeah, by twenty three years old. And

1677
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 6: the Packers, by comparison in the NFL, one of the

1678
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 6: youngest squads, twenty five is the average age.

1679
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: You know it would you think about teams like this

1680
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: and you know that a team like Indiana, you know,

1681
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: even if you were to if you were to play

1682
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: them against one of the worst NFL teams, they still

1683
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: get their asses handed to them. Right, that's just the difference.

1684
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: But they are such a good team, they're well coached.

1685
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: It's a it's a feel good and I am going

1686
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: to I'm going to see if we can't get Indiana football.

1687
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Who's your football on the Big eighty nine.

1688
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 8: I mean, it's it's a nice feel good and it'd

1689
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 8: be nice to hear them here on the Big eighty nine.

1690
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 8: But I mean, are they all like getting their doctorate degrees?

1691
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 8: So they're still hanging around the campus yet they're not

1692
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 8: getting no. No, you graduate by the time you're like

1693
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:56,919
Speaker 8: twenty one twenty two, right.

1694
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: Well you can play what I think you can play?

1695
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: Is it six or seven years after some.

1696
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 6: Weird eligibility things. I really don't know.

1697
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we're not a sports station, but I

1698
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: do enjoy watching elite athletes. And this Fernando Mendoza seems

1699
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: like I mean, is it just me? He seems like

1700
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: such a likable guy. He's from He's actually from Miami.

1701
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: So it was kind of unique last night to watch

1702
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,799
Speaker 1: this game and to see one how well the Indiana

1703
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: who's your faithful travel to go down there? They had

1704
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: that place rocket. But so you've got the University of

1705
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: Miami there, and then you've got this quarterback and his

1706
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: brother on the team too. Both graduated from the high

1707
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: school there in Miami. In comparison, difference between a program

1708
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: like Miami and Indiana. His NIL deal got him between

1709
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand and one point five million. But I

1710
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: think he's going to do okay when the NFL quarterback

1711
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Draft rolls around. But I don't know enough about the

1712
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 1: game to know if this kid's got NFL skills. But

1713
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: it was cool to watch. And you know, your first

1714
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: national championship in a sixteen and o season. You know,

1715
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: we've been so busy talking about the dust ups in

1716
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: the world and everything else that Indiana needed. It's just

1717
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: due here on w als. Coming up next, we're going

1718
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: to talk with Mike Berman and Berman on the Bears.

1719
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 1: You know, I text Mike during the game all the time,

1720
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: and we've said it over and over again. This was

1721
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: bonus time. Who in the world would have thought that

1722
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: at any point in January past the regular season, the

1723
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears were going to be in bonus time. And

1724
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: you look at the difference between what people are feeling

1725
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: like in Green Bay, in Minnesota, there's uncertainty even in Detroit. Right,

1726
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 1: all three programs good programs. The NFC North is going

1727
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:48,600
Speaker 1: to be stacked again. But I got to tell you,

1728
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: I like the way that Ben Johnson handled his team

1729
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are saying, oh, you know,

1730
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: the way he shook Matt Lafleur's hand was nasty and mean.

1731
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: And they won for coach McVeigh, you know, Sean mcvayhy

1732
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 1: they won because he's friends with you know, the Rams

1733
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 1: were supposed to kick the crap out of the Bears.

1734
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: They were supposed to just handle them. They won an overtime.

1735
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many things to take away from

1736
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: this team that I think is good, and it's a

1737
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: feel good well lessa covered all next with our friend

1738
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: Mike Berman and Berman on the Bears on WLSA May

1739
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: ninety right now here, he is still with his toenails

1740
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: of painting by How you doing over there, mister Green

1741
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Bay Packer fan with your pretty painted toenails and fingernails.

1742
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: How you feeling, mister mister packer back of man.

1743
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm feeling great, but I'm sorry that the

1744
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 8: Bears lost.

1745
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, it saddens me that so many people from

1746
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: the Packer Nation decided to basically support Nancy Pelosi and

1747
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: support govern Or Gavin News Yeah, you Packer fans. Everybody's like, oh,

1748
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: go la beat the Bears. Really that's what you want

1749
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: to stand for. You want to stand for a mayor

1750
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 1: and a state that let their own town burn over

1751
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: the great Chicago Bears. Shame on you, Shame on you

1752
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer fans, Nick, and you're one of them.

1753
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: And I hope that toenail polish and that fingernail polish

1754
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: never comes off you. You lost the bet, hey, did you?

1755
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: Were you privy to our bet? We're going to bring

1756
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 1: in there? You know what we have to first off,

1757
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: because Berman never talks until you play. He's like this,

1758
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 1: he never talks until you play. The official intro. Here

1759
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: he is Michael Barrman Berman. Welcome in, sir. I'm sorry

1760
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: we couldn't talk to you yesterday. We were told we

1761
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: had to take off for a federal holiday. But here

1762
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: we are talking about dub Bears and you and I

1763
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: talked to albeit briefly after the Sunday night game, and

1764
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: I came away disappointed but fulfilled. And I think that's

1765
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 1: probably how most of Chicago feels. What's your take?

1766
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:51,679
Speaker 18: Well, my take is that Nick's statement of I'm sorry

1767
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 18: that the Bear's loss was very disingenuous.

1768
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 3: I could hear it.

1769
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Well. Nick generally is very disingenuous. That's what you get

1770
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: with him.

1771
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 18: Yeah, I didn't feel that there was any there was

1772
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 18: any true meaning behind that. So I'm going to remember

1773
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 18: that next year.

1774
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: But uh oh no, when it comes to hating Nick,

1775
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: you can carry that a long time. Yea many people,

1776
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 1: do you know?

1777
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 18: I might just call in in the middle of the

1778
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 18: summer and we'll just start a rip on Nick's set.

1779
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 3: Nick.

1780
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 18: I love you, man, Oh yeah, I love but you

1781
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 18: you know what, you know what Ray I do think?

1782
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 18: So I think that I think everyone is sitting here

1783
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 18: this week bummed. You know who's the Bears fan, You're bummed.

1784
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 18: But at the same time, you know you're you can

1785
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 18: you know, you talk these days, they talk about honoring

1786
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:50,799
Speaker 18: the and so you can feel bummed and proud of

1787
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 18: this season that the Bears had and realized that, you know,

1788
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 18: this was a really really positive step in the right

1789
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 18: direction in Ben Johnson's first season, because if I would

1790
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:06,680
Speaker 18: have told anyone who's listening in August, the Bears are

1791
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 18: going to be playing in the Divisional round in overtime

1792
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 18: with the ball with a chance to go down and

1793
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 18: win the game and make the NFL Championship game and

1794
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 18: be one win away from the Super Bowl. You'd be

1795
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:21,760
Speaker 18: crazy not to take that right.

1796
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Nobody, nobody in a million years would have thought

1797
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the last season, about this time, when

1798
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 1: we were wrapping it up with you, Mike, that the

1799
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: Bears would be in the position to give the fans

1800
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 1: in this organization that had been down for some time

1801
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: the chance to even be there. And then and then

1802
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: it happened. I just want to play this. You know,

1803
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 1: you got the game, right, you got the game, and

1804
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: then you've got the throw, and Mike, I want to

1805
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: get your conjecture on this. But first of all, let's

1806
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 1: just talk about what's being known now as the throw

1807
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 1: committed motion.

1808
01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 6: William dressing pretty different spaces in all kinds of trouble

1809
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 6: play it for this reason.

1810
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Believable that time, at that time, if you were a

1811
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 1: Bear fan, you were just like, I can't believe what

1812
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: just happened. In elation and jubilation doesn't even describe what

1813
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: you were going through at that time. And that is

1814
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: courtesy of Calen Williams. That's a feel that you'll be

1815
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: able to carry with you win or loss.

1816
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,560
Speaker 18: You know, sometimes I like to measure a play or

1817
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 18: a moment by the press box reaction, and I'm not

1818
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 18: sure I've ever seen the people in the press box

1819
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 18: have the kind of reaction that they did, and I

1820
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 18: did in that moment because it was so insane that

1821
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 18: throw in that moment, and it was just like, by

1822
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 18: the way, when it happened, I was like, holy crap,

1823
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 18: they're winning this game. Yeah, because that's been their season.

1824
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 18: They've found a way in clutch moments, and Caleb Williams

1825
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 18: has shown you his ability in clutch moments to come through.

1826
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:14,479
Speaker 18: And I'm like, Okay, book my ticket to Seattle because

1827
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 18: they're going to the NFC Championship game. It was an

1828
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:22,759
Speaker 18: insane throw, you know, it was twenty six yards behind

1829
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 18: the line of scrimmage off one foot falling away, fourth down,

1830
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 18: got to have it to stay in the game. And

1831
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 18: the reaction a Soldier field was it was a jubilation,

1832
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 18: like I can't remember. It was so cool. The only

1833
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 18: bummer about it is that it goes down as an

1834
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 18: incredibly insane touchdown throw and not an iconic moment that

1835
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 18: won a game. You know, like if the Bear's going

1836
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 18: to win that game, that's like you're seeing that as

1837
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:04,280
Speaker 18: Montana to cluck yeah or jasone something like that on

1838
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 18: NFL films.

1839
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: But then we got we got this one from.

1840
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 6: The forty eight deep drop Williams.

1841
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: It's got time, shot down fields, everything, and they're within

1842
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: the season. Now we don't have to talk about that play.

1843
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 1: But let me just ask you this, and this is

1844
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:22,639
Speaker 1: Mike Berman Berman and the Bears. We do this after

1845
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: every big game here on WLS A Mat ninety. There's

1846
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: a lot that's been made of Ben Johnson and his coaching.

1847
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 1: When you get down on the red zone and you know,

1848
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:33,720
Speaker 1: everybody says you score touchdowns, not field goals, and we

1849
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: don't know what would have happened, you know, ensuing if

1850
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: the Bears do kick a field goal, well, then do

1851
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,599
Speaker 1: they kick it off with the other team running back

1852
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 1: for a time? You don't know? Right, So you know

1853
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 1: it's fs and butts, right, It's it's said old if

1854
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 1: fs and butts were candy, and that's we all have

1855
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 1: merry Christmas. But you left a lot of points on

1856
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: the board by not kicking field goals. What do you

1857
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: think of that?

1858
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 18: Okay, so I'm sorry you weren't saying if if they

1859
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 18: kick a field goaling over ten No, no.

1860
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,320
Speaker 1: No, not necessarily an overtime. I'm not just talking about

1861
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 1: as the game win. And I know along the way,

1862
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, I don't argue this. You

1863
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: know this guy's going to coach. But there's a lot

1864
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: of people that are saying that, Ben Johnson, if you

1865
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 1: take the points, you don't come away with nothing. You'll

1866
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 1: take the points.

1867
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 18: Here's my answer. It's a two part answer. Number one,

1868
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 18: that's part of Ben Johnson's DNA. That's part of why

1869
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 18: he was the most coveted, you know, head coaching guy

1870
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 18: for the last two three years. And the second part

1871
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 18: is have you seen the Bears secondary in coverage over

1872
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 18: the last four to six weeks?

1873
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,719
Speaker 1: What have you and I talked about the entire season

1874
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 1: when I when I text you in anger.

1875
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think I think that. I think that Ultimately,

1876
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 18: that's the biggest reason is you were going up against

1877
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 18: the number one offense in the NFL and Matthew Stafford

1878
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 18: who's had an MVP season and Pukinakua who had one

1879
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 18: hundred and twenty nine catches and is arguably the best

1880
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 18: receiver in football. Ben john and did not believe that

1881
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 18: his defense could get enough stops and so he felt

1882
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 18: like he needed, he needed to put it in the

1883
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 18: end zone. Now, big credit to Dennis Allen, Big credit

1884
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 18: to that defense. And if anyone heard the NFL films

1885
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 18: mucked up handshake stuff, Sean McVay was wearing a microphone.

1886
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:20,640
Speaker 3: It was.

1887
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 18: It was all on social media yesterday. But when they

1888
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 18: were at midfield after the game ended, McVeigh told Dennis Allen,

1889
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 18: the Bears decordinator, you kicked our you know what. Yeah,

1890
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 18: he was saying, great job, you kicked our you know what. Well,

1891
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 18: So big credit to the Bears and Dennis how the

1892
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 18: defense had a good day.

1893
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: They did, and we need to mention Brister. That guy

1894
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 1: especially was a gamer.

1895
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:43,799
Speaker 3: Oh he was terrett.

1896
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 18: He had fourteen tackles, he had a sack, he was everywhere.

1897
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,200
Speaker 18: That's a guy the Bears need to lock up in

1898
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 18: free agency, I think. But the bottom line is they

1899
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 18: needed to They felt like they needed to get the

1900
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 18: ball in the end zone because they didn't feel like

1901
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 18: the defense could hold up. And I don't have any

1902
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 18: problem with the aggressive nature. I couldn't believe, especially because

1903
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 18: guys the Bears rush. The Bears were able to rush

1904
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 18: the ball all season, then yesterday or the other day,

1905
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 18: they couldn't convert on third and fourth and short, So

1906
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 18: that was disappointing. These weren't fourth and ten that they

1907
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 18: were going for. Yeah, there was third and one, fourth

1908
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 18: and one, and a great offensive line could not get

1909
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 18: the kind of push that they needed to pick up

1910
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 18: those first downs. So that was disappointing.

1911
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: Pick up a couple pieces in the offseason, and I

1912
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 1: think this team is right there next year, my friend.

1913
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to talk to you as the

1914
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 1: season winds on, and next to Monday we'll talk Berman

1915
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 1: on the National Football League and what we see as

1916
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 1: we find out who's going to be in the big game. Buddy,

1917
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate the visit. Thank you, you got it.

1918
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 3: Guys, have a great week.

1919
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Berman. Not in the Bears. So today is a day

1920
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,759
Speaker 1: after a federal holiday. If I have garbage pickup, usually

1921
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Garbage pickup should be tomorrow. I'm getting yelled

1922
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 1: at that I didn't put the garbage out yet. Here

1923
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 1: comes the group truck rolling down the street and Miss

1924
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Bella Jeana Maria is out there in her in her

1925
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 1: skivvies running the garbage can and the recycling been to

1926
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 1: the to the curb when it's five degrees, and I say, well,

1927
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: what's wrong with that. The neighbors appreciate when you when

1928
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: you do that, at least the men do. But she's

1929
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 1: yelling at me. It's my fault, it's my fault. Well,

1930
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: it's yeah. I told her. I said, if you miss it,

1931
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,160
Speaker 1: don't worry. We'll take the garbage. We'll burn it at

1932
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: next house. That's fine.

1933
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 8: Most people who have real jobs, that holiday doesn't count.

1934
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: They still work.

1935
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 8: I know, because Monday's garbage night, garbage day, and they

1936
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 8: came Monday to pick up the garbage.

1937
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: I have a meeting, you know, because I was told

1938
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: that we were not forced, but we were supposed to

1939
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 1: take off holidays for whatever reason. And I know that

1940
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: the format captain of this company, my friend Pete Mundo

1941
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 1: in case, was working his post yesterday and I would

1942
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 1: have liked to be here yesterday. I have, you know,

1943
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: brought the city through the pain of which we felt

1944
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: so well, we'll talk about that later. A couple text

1945
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: message here Tree one two three one two, Tree one

1946
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: two five eight nine hundred. Ray and Nick love your show.

1947
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 1: But as a proud Packer fan, I did support La.

1948
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how supporting newsom and Karen Bass is

1949
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: worse than the city of bj in the state of JB.

1950
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: And my response well written and well thought out. Well

1951
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 1: because just leave it at that, Because because I did

1952
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: post that on my socials kid over the weekend, and

1953
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: I have so many of my Wisconsin friends that said

1954
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. And I'm going to give you

1955
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 1: a I'm gonna peel back the onion here and this

1956
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: may make you think less of me, and I know

1957
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 1: that that's hard for you already to think less to me,

1958
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 1: But I'll be very honest with you when the Bears

1959
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 1: are no longer in it. My AFC team is the

1960
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, but my NFC team is the Green

1961
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: Bay Packers because of my proximity to Wisconsin. No, but

1962
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:20,240
Speaker 1: it's like, how do you not like that that mystique

1963
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 1: of one of the original teams in the league. How

1964
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: do you root against something that has so much history

1965
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 1: and they make the Bears better whether they know it

1966
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: or not. You know, Bears fans, you know, deep down

1967
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 1: in the bottom of your heart, you know you need

1968
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,839
Speaker 1: this rivalry and it's been so lopsided and so crappy

1969
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years that it hasn't meant anything,

1970
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's crazy because you kind of need that ying

1971
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 1: to the yang, right, Sure, but I think you know

1972
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: to support La and Karen Bass and Governor Newsom and

1973
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. Gosh, what horrible, horrible people you are you

1974
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,240
Speaker 1: as Green Bay Packer fans. And by the way, your

1975
01:39:57,320 --> 01:39:59,719
Speaker 1: nails look good. I thought those would have been cleaned

1976
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: by today. She did a hell of a job on those.

1977
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 1: They're hard to get off. I have a text message

1978
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: from our friend that brought to his wife in to

1979
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: do your nails, and he said, you were very generous,

1980
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, you guys came down here and

1981
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: it was fine for me to be able to tip

1982
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 1: her as I did, just to see the look on

1983
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 1: Nick's face. And can I just tell you, out of

1984
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: all the things I've done in radio and I've given

1985
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: away houses, I literally have and I don't know if

1986
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: I've had more fun than I did on Friday, listen

1987
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: to that show on the podcast at WLSAM dot com.

1988
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: If you missed Friday, you got to listen because it

1989
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 1: was just so fun to give you through the breakdown

1990
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: of Nick getting his nails done. All right, coming up

1991
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 1: with Chris plant. I'm sure he's going to be talking

1992
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: about what's going on in Minneapolis. Right. It's the soup dejoor,

1993
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 1: It's the shiny thing we're all paying attention to. And

1994
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, well, we're following this,

1995
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:53,439
Speaker 1: but we're not following the corruption. But we will make

1996
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: no mistake. While all of this stuff is going on

1997
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, you still have that investigation to all that

1998
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 1: Somali fraud going on. But when look what has gone on,

1999
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 1: what Trump has done. And today is the anniversary a

2000
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:09,639
Speaker 1: year ago today we were in at Foxfire in Geneva

2001
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: celebrating his inauguration. In one year, white lives Now matter, right,

2002
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: and the left likes they like guns.

2003
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 5: You live in the neighborhood, yep, this is my block,

2004
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 5: this is my area, don't. I don't go to other

2005
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 5: people's neighborhoods and try and insumudate them.

2006
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 4: I protect my people.

2007
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: So this is a chubby, little soy boy guy out

2008
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: there with a jacket so tight and with an AR

2009
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 1: fifteen so tight against his chest in a moment of emergency.

2010
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 1: I don't know how he can move that around. But

2011
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure Chris is going to talk about This is

2012
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: when we start talking about our neighborhood and my people,

2013
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 1: and we start to divide our country even more than

2014
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 1: it is. You were going to run into problems you

2015
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: can't fix with a goofy little ar fifteen. Don't get

2016
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 1: me wrong, they can do some damage. But Nick and

2017
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 1: I have better stuff than that car place. So when

2018
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:57,839
Speaker 1: you start talking like that and you ap up the rhetoric,

2019
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:00,600
Speaker 1: don't fall for it. When you're out there today and

2020
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: you start doing the doom scroll and people want to argue,

2021
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: here's what you do. You get your news, if you

2022
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: get your news, but a lot of these places like

2023
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 1: the huff Post and everywhere else to just post things

2024
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: that are so against what you think. Remove those from

2025
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: your feed, Get those out of your life because you're

2026
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: wasting time talking to people that don't understand real world

2027
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: and logic. Get it out of your life and live

2028
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 1: a better life. Do not doom scroll. I'm telling you,

2029
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 1: I've said it, I'll say it again. World was better

2030
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: when there was twelve stations in Chicago, every one of

2031
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,920
