Speaker 1: Warning this might have you concerned. Welcome to the program. It is the Brett Winterbulls Show. It is great to be here. Our telephone number if you wish to opine. If you don't wish to opine, you can still call seven oh four five seven zero one zero seven nine. You're listening to Charlotte FM News Talk one O seven point nine FM WBT. We know what all the big stories are that are happening here right Obviously there's a bunch of big stories. I got great guests coming up. I got I got Michael Wattley's going to be joining us here uh in a little bit. We got Joe Gruder's is going to be uh spending time with us as well, and a whole bunch of other things. But I've got to start with this, and this is this is just right up my alley. And if you're scared, you should be because of what I just found out and what I discovered over at the Fox Weather site. Okay, so just get ready, just be ready. I haven't I haven't. I haven't yet previewed it for Lonnie or Nick. And they may run out of here. They may run out of here crying and screaming, spiders. Guys like spiders. You guys are spiders. Guys. Oh yeah, well let me tell you something. You got it. Spiders the size of a human hand are spreading throughout the United States. Okay, these are some. These are some ugly spiders, like suep ugly spiders. The invasive jaw ro spider is likely to invade much of the East Coast during the summer. Oh yes, I have to. I'm giving look, I'm like the the the Paul Revere. Okay, the spiders are coming. The spiders are coming. The frightening, brightly colored large spiders are back, and experts say they are spreading rapidly across the United States. The eight legged creepy species known as the jau ro spider can grow as large as a human hand. Yeah not my hand. My hand is very small and dainty. More like your hand. You got, you got, you got big hands over there. Here we go. Okay, so let's get let's get into this so you guys can be ready. The eight legged creepy spy species known as the jeuro spider, can grow as large as a human hand and has been spotted in at least eight states since twenty twenty one. These are Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, California, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, or as I call it, Pennsyltucky. But here's the thing. One of these is not like the others. I'm betting California brought the junk in. I'm guaranteeing that right here, right now, no doubt about it. The jeuro spiders will likely spread in the US, but they aren't the flying, venomous spider invasion that's been sensationalized in the media. Virginia Tech entomologist Teresa Dellinger said in a press release, Okay, they take a look, just take a look at this little this dude. This dude is the size of your hand. Okay, it's the size of your hand. That is a that is a big, ugly spider, and it's a pretty scary. Researchers say the spider is spreading through a process called ballooning. Ballooning in which the young juro spiders release a thread of silk that can be

captured by the wind, allowing them to be lifted to new locations. Are you scared yet, Well, get ready, You're gonna get scared. Her more here we go, allowing them to be lifted to new locations. The process allows them to travel for relatively long distances, similar to the other spider species. Over time, they may even reach Canada. Oh Canada, you think that? Do you think they're going to go try to find the the lady and her partner who was up in Canada looking for some shelter. You think that's possible? Is that even possible? I don't even know. Fully grown jeuro spiders are unable to travel like this due to their size. That's not anything that I want to know about. It's it's too big to fail. I mean. In one study happened by the way University of Joja, researchers found that jeuro spiders are so well equipped to spread do to their high metabolism and heart rate. This causes them to be able to tolerate colder temperatures in the north. No I think, I'm I mean, I don't know what to do. I feel like I have to go home tonight and cut everything down in my backyard, like just I just need to turn it into a wasteland, just to chop all everything down. What hermetically see? Oh yeah, the car what happens when you're driving and and and you got because these guys, see, I don't want to give away too much, but my guys here, they they got they got some great, great vehicles that they drive, and they got the sun roof. So you guys gonna have to put some kind of something in there, man like to just stop it from coming down. Because what's what happens? You're driving and you get yourself like a hand sized spider just landing on you. Nick, No, you're not, Nick, Okay, I can't. I can't repeat what you just said because that could be a liability. But here's the thing. Just by looking at it, it looks like the jaw rose could probably survive throughout most of the Eastern seaboard. You know darn well that. And maybe I'm gonna give it, like I don't know, I want to say, like two three weeks, you're gonna have idiots saying, well, you know you can cook them and eat them and they're delicious. They're not delicious. They're spiders. No, thank you. The only spiders that I liked. Do you know who it is? David Bowie and the spiders, that's right, the spiders from Mars if you have any thoughts on this, perhaps some advice, we'd love to take it from you. It's a very important topic that we're talking about. I do not like any kind of nature. Just so you know, I like the cement, and I like the ocean. Everything else you can have it. So well, well, fine, are they're all over, They're everywhere. They're all in the South and California. I don't understand how they went all that way from California. No idea, but I got to tell you something because somebody was just saying to me a couple of minutes ago, are these are these spiders? Because they may not be native to American soil? Are these spiders, perhaps, you know, illegal? Are they here illegally? Is it possible that that's what's
going on here? Well, I want to let you all hear this. This is really something that is remarkable. There's a senator called Chris Murphy. I want you to listen as closely as you can with what he said yesterday talking with MSNBC. This is Chris Murphy. See if you can spot the flaw go.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: The negotiation didn't have a path of citizenship.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: It was entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding.
00:09:23
Speaker 4: Right.
00:09:24
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for twenty years. So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, to the undocumented Americans that are in this country.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: Wait. Did Chris Murphy just say that people who are in the country illegally are their highest priority? Yes, you heard that properly, You heard that right, That's exactly what he's saying. We don't really care about a Americans, We don't really care about people who have emigrated properly. We want the most important group of people, which are the new people who are coming into our country. Wow, all right, well, now we know where Chris Murphy stands. Now we know where Chris Murphy stands. I mean, I just got to tell you it's unbelievable. Give me cut number twenty five if you would. This is a very silly man called Ed McKie from Boston, and I want you to hear what Ed Mackie says about Well, you know, nobody really votes illegally Cut twenty five.
00:10:38
Speaker 6: Despite numerous studies and audits and investigations over the years, it has been determined that non citizens voting is very very very very very very very rare.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: It is not a problem. I'll tell you what is a problem. What is a problem.
00:10:55
Speaker 6: High oil prices that's problem. High healthcare prices, that's a problem. High tariff taxes on small businesses by the millions across our country. That's a big problem. Inflation going up, that's a big problem. Unemployment going up, that's a big problem. Hu are we debating that on the floor?
00:11:17
Speaker 1: Oh?
00:11:17
Speaker 6: The Republicans having hearings on the Iran war. They're having hearings on skyrocketing oil prices.
00:11:23
Speaker 1: No, they're not.
00:11:25
Speaker 6: They're having They're having the Senate now for over a week debate something that is.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: Very very very very very very very rare, and they're trying to make a I think he's drinking out of the out of the liquor that Ted Teddy Kennedy kept in in the office, because I mean, clearly, he can't really be saying that there is no fraud like that, there is no fraud at all. I can't I can't possibly believe that that's the case, because there is a reason why people do come into the country in an illicit fashion and then they try to vote. There are a number of people who understand that, I mean, this idea of well, there is nobody illegally coming into the country and voting, and if they are, it's no more than like, let's just say one hundred thousand people who are just doing what they're doing because they're getting walking around money. Right, That's what we've got going on here. These people are so amazing. They are so amazing when you look at how these folks are. These people want you to believe that nobody, I mean zero people are coming into the country illegally, So then what is the benefit of having them come in illegally? I mean, like, if they can't vote, what is their value?
00:12:57
Speaker 7: Right?
00:12:58
Speaker 1: If they come into the country illegally, That's what I'm saying, then what's the benefit of bringing them in? Is it just cheap labor? Or is it people who want to try to rig the system? Because there are cases that we have seen, I mean, and you know it, and I know it because what they're trying to tell you is, well, you know it's not it's not really working. Now. They hate Ice. The people on the left hate Ice. Prominent people in prominent people, These people understand that there is power if you can pay folks with the walking around money and they can go in there and they can vote, and just you know, all we need is just like a half a percentage point. And if you think that there's absolutely nothing, you know, beyond board on that I got. I got tons of bridges that I could sell you in this in this regard. But but here's the thing that I think is really interesting. Okay, Chuck Schumer's nuts. This is cut number twenty. Uh, Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer's got himself a bit of a problem of sticky wicket. As they would say, cut number twenty go voter suppression.
00:14:19
Speaker 8: That is what the Republican Senate is wasting our time on, pushing a voter suppression bill that most Americans do not support, a bill that appeals to only the most fringe element of the MAGA base.
00:14:32
Speaker 9: Take a look here, favorite photo ID to vote. Eighty five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino, seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo IDA vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.
00:14:59
Speaker 1: So what I would say, and I'd be willing to stand on this hill, I would do it. And that is to say, Chuck Schumer, how many people have you come across that said that they don't think it's important to have election integrity? Now? I don't know, because I don't know who Chuck Schumer hangs around with. I don't know what his idea is. I don't know what this is. But all I can tell you is he is the incredibly shrinking guy now and he's not getting it done. He is not. If you want to stand there and say, hey, guess what, we don't really need any any any election integrity, nobody's gonna sign
off on that. Not even a fraudster is gonna sign off on that. Chuck Schumer is standing out there at the end of the plank and they're getting ready to push him right off the boat. I'm telling you right now, this guy, this guy is not long for this job. Watch watch You're gonna see Chris Murphy make a run for this or Spartacus make a run for this. You watch, Chuck Schumer will not be the majority leader or the minority leader in this coming cycle.
00:16:27
Speaker 10: Welcome back.
00:16:28
Speaker 1: We got a lot of feedback coming in here. Let me share with the class if I if I may, because you know, there's a lot of stuff going on here. Let's see what we've got. Mimi says, spiders are sneaky like octopuses. They can get into a whole lot of different spaces. It creeps me out. Creeps me out as well. I mean, I can't I can't deny that. What else have we got here? Can these Can these things survive a bullet? I don't know. I would not try to shoot at a at a spot. I don't care if it's the size of my hand. I'm going out there with like a machette or something, I don't know, something to make it permanent. Stan says there will be some people, the ones who hang out on Reddit that I think the Jura spiders are cool and want to have them as pets. Also, don't give the globalists and environmentalists any ideas as the Jurro spiders aren't thought to produce flagelence. Wait, they don't. They don't produce flat flagulence as cows and pigs do, so they'd make environmentally friend protein sources. No, I would rather eat immediately a h just a bark. I would just eat the bark off a tree before. I'm not I'm not doing anything like that. That's that's freaky, Deky. You take things and you twist them into something that's just not to fit your narrative. Says Dave, I don't know what's wrong with you. Did your mom not hug you enough? As you are the biggest fear monger I've ever listened to here in my life. Thank god for satellite radio. You're still listening to the show. Come on, man, I know, I know why you're bummed, because you already posted up earlier today that you're from Buffalo. I'd be satify I was from Buffalo. I would be really satify. I was a bum You should be happy about being here. I remember that time for in a row you blew it. You remember that. I remember this. Don't take it too personally. Come on, I mean, I'm sorry, but Dave, I mean really really, I mean this is this is this is a tough situation. I'm hoping and I'm rooting for your team. Whatever that is. They want them to grow their districts. They need the census numbers which equate to undeserved seats in the House. Well, that is true. That is true. That's a that's a very good point. Let's see who else have I got here? Lloyd Lloyd, Lloyd's got Wow, Lloyd's got a lot of punchy stuff here, like he's He's got a whole list. From the understanding, there's no official list of people taking bribes, so I have no idea if this list is factual or not. Okay, Okay, I'll buy in on this. Kill all the spiders and give them the Chuck Schumer and John Thute. No, we don't need to kill all the spiders. We just need them not to be invading our houses. Right. That's that's that's kind of like what we got to do. That's that's how we got to fix this particular problem. Jeff, what are your thoughts on the Democrats are stalling so that they can import a bunch of documents showing that these illegals are American board. I don't that's a hard that's a hard thing to build. That's a very difficult thing to build, although you know, they are talking a whole lot about how hard it is to get a get a driver's license. Oh no, wait, you can get the driver's license like that. You just can't get you you know, birth certificate. I lost it. I lost it in a terrible you know incident. Who else have we got here? This is Matt. Matt is saying Trump is suppressing the Epstein files, so we need to get them all unredacted. Trump is also running on no wars. I'm starting to think that the FIFA, FIFA, that's the soccer thing, FIFA World Peace Award was a sham. No, don't call it a sham. Don't call it a comeback. I've been there before. Uh. Here we got from Gabby, Gabby. That's because Jeffries and Murphy was probably at Schumer's house for a cookout when he put cheese on raw hamburger. See, Gabby, you're my kind of person here because you're you're that's a very old poll and I love it. They knew when that's something wasn't right in the head with Chuck. Well, now, Chuck, Chuck hadn't been right for a really long time. Oh no, this is I have to give you a warning on this because I'm going to read what Ron sent me, and he said that these spiders are fantastic dipped in chocolate. I don't believe that at all, No way impossible. You know what I would rather, I would rather eat well a chuck Berger, a Schumerberger. I'd rather eat a raw Schumerberger than than than eating the the dipped and chock chocolate stuff that's coming off to spiders and spiders. I don't know how clean the spiders are. I can I can eat steak tartar as long as it's refrigerated. Do you think he still has it outside? I did see it. That was gray. It was gray. But that's only because they don't have refrigeration in New York. Okay, I mean that's that. That's what happens. You know, you get these you get these people, and they get very very upset, you know. I mean when when you when you come out here and you look at all this kind of stuff. I mean, it's really it's really remarkable. But you know, we got a lot of other things we can also mix in here, and I will do that right now. What do you say? What do you say about this? Ryan Young. Ryan Young on ICE helping folks out cut twenty two. Please what you got go.
00:23:04
Speaker 2: Finally we can take a deep breath here. The numbers have dropped off. The lines are getting shorter. I think the average way time now is under forty minutes. So if you have a flight to catch today, it's a good time to come to Hartsfield Jackson International. Talking about those ICE agents, you can see a
few behind me right there, and then I'm going to walk you this direction and you can see some more of them gathered over here. This is what they've been doing for the most part today is doing the patrols around the airport, talking and gathering, not really helping the public in the sense of the not taking tickets from anybody. They're not interacting with the public brief seen so far. They're not checking anyone's ID at the TSA checkpoints. They're not doing that as well. So the big question is what have they been doing. Mostly well, it has been providing for gimer security, as you can see over here. If we come back this direction, there's also a contingent of officers over here. And the reason why is what we're being told is there's a protest schedule against ice here at the air in the next two hours or so. So now you have extra police officers in the Atlanta Police Department ready to respond to what may happen when protesters arrived, and we've been told they actually applied for a permit, So now you're bringing all these people surging him into one area. This is where the lines have been long throughout the day. The lines now are gone, So that's a good news. Whether it's the north, the South terminals, or even the main checkpoint. We've been told that the lines now again are under thirty minutes, which is fantastic. That's after Sunday when it was more than five hours and we saw lines stretch outside the building. When we arrived here at six am this morning, there were thousands of people trying to get through the airport. We talked to several people who we just checked through to try to see how long it would take them. Average wait time was over two hours. And right now the airport GM is actually telling us they believe the numbers are about a thirty percent call out. And now we've talked to TSA. Stewart who tells us, look, they believe things could get better, but they want to get paid sometime soon.
00:24:54
Speaker 1: Well, I want them to get paid, and I'll tell you what Ice shows up. Suddenly. The lines melt pretty good when you think about it. And welcome back. It's great to be with you. It is great to be welcoming back to the program. One of my folks that I like to talk to, and this is Michael Watley joining us here on the program. Michael Watley, good to be with you.
00:25:25
Speaker 4: It's great to be with you, sir. I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you and your listeners.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's my pleasure. A question for you, what are we seeing with this Save Act? The fighting that's going on back and forth? It seems to me that the Democrats are just not following the scripts as the as the American voters want. What are you seeing there?
00:25:49
Speaker 4: It is absolutely amazing to me that eighty five percent of the American people want voter ID and the Democrats are fighting it at every single I mean, the vast majority of Republicans wanted, of course, but so did the vast majority of Independence and Democrats.
And yet in the in the Senate right now, they're doing everything they can to block this common sense reform. And you look at all of the aspects of the Save America Bill, They're all enormously popular, and the Democrats are just doing everything they can to block not just this bill, but every bill. The only agenda item on the Democratic agenda is opposed Trump. It is Trump. The arrangement syndrome manifests itself all day, every day on the floor. And you think about all of the Democrats that are saying that they oppose you know.
00:26:42
Speaker 1: Voter ID.
00:26:43
Speaker 4: Roy Cooper's right there at the front. Roy Cooper vetoed multiple bills here in North Carolina that would have put voter ID in place. Finally, we passed legislation over his veto and the Supreme Court threw it out. We had to flip the Supreme Court and finally they reinstated it. But Roy Cooper says that he would vote against the Save America Act despite the fact that over seventy five eighty percent of North Carolina voters support that bill.
00:27:09
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if if that's the If that's the case, then would he still allow felons to come out early and go about their business. I mean, this is a really shocking reality.
00:27:24
Speaker 11: Well it really is.
00:27:25
Speaker 4: And you think about what he did, letting thirty five hundred you know, prisoners out of prison right just because he didn't want them to get COVID. He lied to the people of North Carolina said there were no violent criminals on that list, and as it turns out, fifty one people on that list were serving life census in North Carolina. Prisoners that he let out, including the Carlos Brown Junior, who was on that list, got arrested and released thirteen more times before he killed the rangers of Roska on the light railcar in Charlotte. So yeah, it is amazing to me that Roy Cooper is going to always fight harder for criminals and illegal aliens than he is for the North Carolina citizens. And you could look at every single bill that he has talked about. He said that he would have voted against the one big, beautiful bill because he hates tax cuts, because he wants people to pay taxes on overtime, on Social Security, you know, on tips. That's absolutely crazy. He said that he would have absolutely voted for the largest tax site in the history of the country. But that's not a surprise because he vetoed six different tax cuts when he was the governor of North Carolina. You know, he's never seen a dollar. He didn't want a tax, sin spend. I've never seen a tax I didn't want to cut.
00:28:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, visiting with Michael Wattley. Let me ask you about this. We've got Mark Wayne A. Mullen getting sworn in. He's going to be the next boss of the Department of Homeland Security. Your thoughts on this, are you bullish? I'm very bullish.
00:28:58
Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullen is absolutely rock solid. He is a good friend. I talked to him right after he got nominated by President Trump. We talked about hurricane recovery and western North Carolina and what we need out of FEMA in the Department of Homeland Security, and he assured me that he would be working with us to make sure that we get the rest of the resources into western North Carolina. You know, but that job is a lot bigger than just hurricane recovery. You know, when you think about ice, you think about you know, border Patrol, you think about the Coast Guard. You know that agency was created after nine to eleven, when we had the worst attack on our homeland in history. And right now the Democrats are saying we don't care about the Department of Homeland Security. We don't care about their mission. We want to score some cheap political points here, and we're going to deny funding to DHS. I'm very glad that Mark Wayne Mullen is going to be the secretary there. He's going to do an absolutely fantastic job. And shame on the Democrats for saying that they don't care about that mission and they don't care about protecting the homeland.
00:30:05
Speaker 1: I can't, for the life of me understand why, why, in this dangerous age, especially with everything that's going on around the world and the threats that are coming our way, that Chuck Schumer would would would dare to try to play this sort of chicken game or something. I don't It doesn't make any sense to me.
00:30:21
Speaker 4: Michael, Well, no, and it's not just Chuck Schumer. It's every single Democrat in the House. It's every single Democrat in the Senate, you know. And it's every single Democrat all across the country who are unified in wanting to fight harder for illegal aliens than they are for American citizens.
00:30:40
Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about what we see moving forward. Right, the people are concerned about you know, pricing and things like that. But the reality is we are in an important mission to try to take down the Mullas and the bad guys that are over there in the Middle East, and we need to be able to deal with all of this sort of stuff at the same time. You know, I don't know any of the positions that Roy Cooper's got because he didn't talk about anything other than trying to hide I mean, what's the deal here?
00:31:14
Speaker 4: Well, look, I mean the fact is President Trump has been very very clear Iran is not going to be able to develop a nuclear weapon. They are not going to be able to deliver missile capacity to deliver those payloads to Europe or even the United States, and we need to end their ability to export terrorism. I support that agenda. Everybody that I talked to supports that agenda. Polling shows that it's a very popular agenda. That Democrats just oppose Trump. They just opposed Trump on every single one of these matters. You know, when it comes to where our gas prices are, they're certainly a bit higher than they were, you know, a month or two ago, but they're a lot less than they were at the height of gas prices under Joe Biden. Indeed, and thank god President that
Trump has unleashed American energy and we're now producing more oil than any other country in the world, which is helping to insulate us from the shops because that you think about, what would those prices be today if Kamala Harris were president, they'd probably be five six dollars across the country.
00:32:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. So where do people go to get more information on what you're up to and what you're doing?
00:32:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, two great places. Number one, they can go check me on x at Wattley NC, and they can follow us on our website at Michael Wottley dot com.
00:32:34
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff. Appreciate you coming buy spending time with us, and safe travels out there. Appreciate you saying hello, Thanks so much. Yeah, thanks Brett, Ah, you got it. Absolutely, That's Michael Wattley. And you know we've got another great hour is straight ahead. And one of the things that we're going to get get into is all the stuff that you forgot that happened with the Iranian threats. And I got to tell you something, this is a very dangerous thing and it's a very dangerous time to be in this position. I don't know about you, but I want you to hear. I want you to understand what exactly it is that the Iranians have been up to. It's so much bigger than what people want to acknowledge. They decided early on forty seven years ago that they were going to kill Americans, that they were going to become Islamo fascist, and that they were going to try to take over a lot of territory. Now we've got a different sort of a problem. And the problem is this, we don't necessarily know who's in charge of that regime. But I can tell you this right now, the Saudis are clamoring to decapitate the Iranian regime in total. I mean, you can see it and you can hear it. And by the way, there is another country that wants to join the fight. And it's a country that you might be a little nervous about, but I can tell you this without a doubt. The Iranian regime is scared to death that this other country gets involved. Talk to you about that in just a bit. I'm Brett witter Bowl back after this to give me vogam that was at Azay. Let's talk about the shadow war that never makes the evening news the way it should. Iran, the Islamic Republic, state sponsor number one, playing chess with proxies, while America continued to bleed. This ain't conspiracy. This is the ledger, the body count, and the dates on the tombstones. Nineteen seventy nine, the revolution fresh They stormed the American embassy in Tehran. Fifty two Americans, diplomats, Marines, civilians taken hostage for four hundred and forty four days, blindfolded, paraded the Great Satan on their television screens. That was the opening riff. That was the first verse in the Symphony of Proxies and Pain. You can go fast forward four years Beirut, Lebanon October the twenty third, nineteen eighty three, two truck bombs, one at the United States Embassy annex earlier than the Big one. Two hundred and forty one US Marines, sailors, soldiers asleep in their barracks blown to hell by a Hesbola's suicide truck loaded with explosives. At that stage of the game, we should have nuked them, but we're not that way. We're not savages. Iran's fingerprints were all over it training, funding greenlt from the Revolutionary Guard. Seventeen more Americans died in the the Embassy hits months later, the deadliest single day loss for the United States since Iwajima and and Iran's proxy. The Hesbos just got their first gold Star. Kobar Towers, Saudi Arabia nineteen ninety six, nineteen US airmen torn apart in their housing complex, Saudi Hezbola, trained, equipped, directed by Tehran. The FBI, the State Department, the courts all said it. Iran did it, same song, different verse proxies doing the wetworks so the Mullahs could deny. Then came Rock two thousand and three to two thousand and eleven. Iran floods the battlefield with EFP's explosively formed penetrators, shaped charges that punched through armor like it was paper. Hundreds of US troops killed, thousands maimed, all courtesy of the Kods Force and their Shiite militias Katib Hesbola, asaib Al al Hak, and the whole Iranian backed murder network. They trained them in Iran, shipped them into Syria, and watched as American humbies burned. On the evening News twenty eleven, They got bold plot to blow up the Saudi ambassador right here in Washington, DC. Iranian agents could force operatives hiring Mexican cartels for the hit. Did you forget that? You shouldn't forget that. FBI rolled it up. Two men convicted. Tehran laughed it off. That was the homeland flex. That one almost crossed the ocean. October the seventh, twenty twenty three, Hamas Iran's favorite Sunni proxy, slaughters twelve hundred Israelis and forty six in one morning of pure evil. Iran supplied the rockets, the training camps, the cash, the command structure. They celebrated in Tehran. Then the flood gates opened. From October twenty twenty three to now, over one hundred and fifty direct attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria, rockets, drones, mortars, all from the Iran backed militias. January the twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, Tower twenty two in Jordan, three American soldiers Specialist Kennedy, Sergeant Rivera, Sergeant Smith killed by a drone from Katib Hezbola, Iranian made Iranian directed dozens more wounded. That was in twenty twenty four. That was the fading point for Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, who couldn't even be bothered to patrol any sort of way to protect our guys and out in the Red Sea. The houthis in Yemen. Despicable proxy's hidden all over the place. Another Iranian proxy, armed of the teeth with Tehran's ballistic missiles and drones. They've already attacked US Navy ships, commercial vessels carrying goods, fired on international shipping lanes like its open season. US and coalition forces had to strike back. But the money, the intel, the launch codes still flow from Iran worldwide. The proxy network comes like a
dark orchestra Hasbola in Lebanon, Syria, South America. Remember nineteen ninety four the ama AI bombing in Buenos Airis eighty five dead. Iranian backed Hezbola cells in Europe, Africa, Asia, plotting, recruiting, laundering, assassination squads targeting dissidents, journalists, even on American soil. The IRGC's global reach Latin America, Africa, wherever a grudge or a dollar can buy a trigger pull. That's what they were about. This is the riff, the repeating pattern the long game, Iran doesn't need to fly planes into buildings. They outsource the explosions to proxies who die for the cause while the Mullas stay safe, making love to each other in their compound. They fund it, they train it, they arm it, they deny it with a straight face on television. Every American death, every wounded vet, every family that got the knock on the door. That's a verse in Iran's anthem of asymmetric war. So when you read the next headline or possibly tire of this event, militia attacked, drone strike, hoothy missile. Remember the conductor in Tehran, the Kods force generals smiling behind the curtain, the regime that's been at war with America since day one of the Revolution and never stopped keeping score. The shadow war ain't over. The proxies keep moving, the body count keeps rising, and the riff keeps playing low, steady, deadly until somebody decides the music has to stop. I'm Brett Witterable, welcome back. It's the Brett Wittererble Show. Good to be with you. So one thing I didn't I didn't get to in that last segment, and I wanted to put this into the conversation. So there are challenges in this fight with Iran, and so one of the things I didn't mention this. I mentioned this off the year to a couple of people, but not on the air as far as I can recall. So, Pakistan has an alliance with the Saudis. Now I know this is a real Now, now you have to kind of wrap your head around this because this neighborhood that we're talking about, whether it's the Saudis, whether it's the Israelis, whether it's Oman, Kuwait, cut Her, all of these places, these places kind of fall in certain categories. So you know about the Saudis, and you know the Saudis were able to have a relationship with the Irani. I mean, I'm not the iradience with the Israelis. You have seen a number of things like that. But there is a relationship that people really don't talk about. And I don't know why this is the case. I have suspect a suspicion as to why it is. So the Saudis are aligned and allied with a treaty with Pakistan. Pakistan's a nuclear power, India is a nuclear power. Iran is an aspiring nuclear power. And you have to kind of think about this now, and it sounds crazy. I've had people on the show, We've talked about it over the course of time. So the Saudis are not a nuclear I don't believe that they're a nuclear power. Pakistan is a nuclear power, and that took place in the nineteen nineties and you had Pakistan proliferate and you had India proliferate. So the Pakistanis have nuclear technology. They have the power to deploy a bomb or more, and so does India. Right now. The Iranians have been desirous, I mean, covetous everything you could say about getting a nuke. They have tons of missiles. They got tons of missiles, they got them buried. You can see you can see some of these reports if you go out there and look reasonable reports. I mean I'm talking about like CNN and stuff where they're able to say, look these are they have, like you know, a whole bunch of underground missiles, But they don't have the nuclear power that they need. So the people that are most controlled with the Iranians in terms of nuclear power and nuclear stuff is North Korea, which is weird because North Korea can't even keep the lights on, but they've got massive amounts. And for a very long time they were being fed by the Iranians and they were able to prolifer rate and to do those sorts of things. So get getting back to Pakistan for a quick second. Saudi Arabia is making a lot of noise, and they're making a lot of noise with the President of the United States saying, hey, do not stop this fight yet, do not stop the fight. You've got to keep this thing going. And the other side of the equation is Pakistan. Now, Pakistan is a sketchy deal, I mean really sketchy, because you had a lot of people, You had a lot of radical people in Pakistan when you get over there, and right now, you know, Pakistan and India are are duking it out right now conventionally, but they're they're in Afghanistan is a component of that as well. So these are all the things that are happening here. But when you hear from the Saudis, the Saudis are telling the president do not don't walk away from this. You gotta do what you got to do. We've got to straighten all this sort of stuff out but look, we're a nuclear power. We are the nuclear power I mean us and the Rooskies. But when you think about all of that and how that's going, it's a very complicated situation because what happens. Okay, think about this. So let's say the Saudis jump in on this fight and suddenly the Iranians decide that they're going to do something crazy whatever that whatever crazy looks like. Okay, and let's say the Saudis and the Iranians start duking it out and it gets bad, and you possibly can see a nuclear exchange coming in because Pakistan they have a treaty, so it's they have to answer the call. And you hope that that's not what's really going to happen. But who knows. We don't know who's in charge right now. We don't know who's running the thing. It's definitely not the son of Kamani is the guy's just like he's disappeared. But they have people that they're talking to. Now here's the crazy. Here's the craziest part of the entire conversation. You can look this up. If you doubt me, you can go look this up on the X. All right, there is an organization that has formed that is hunting the Iranian leadership. And by hunting the Iranian leadership, what they're what they're doing is they're calling
the people. So they're calling the guys that are in charge, and they're saying, we're gonna kill you. Are you gonna? Are you gonna? And it does sound like that bit with the guy with the thing with I'm gonna kill you. They are doing that, and there is an organization, an ad hoc organization because I saw the videos earlier today where they are they're they're taking down bad guys in a variety of different ways. So like dude standing on the corner, Dude's not standing on the corner for very long. Guy gets in a car, Guy's not in the car for very long. That's the kind of stuff that's going on here. And that's see, this is where we have to be very careful because if we try to put like our troops on the ground there, everybody's going to go at us, not at everybody else. So I think it's got to be very careful. We have to be really careful. I mean, that's that's essentially what I see. Welcome back. It's the Brett Winterbull Show. Good to be with you. I got a lot of people weighing in on stuff. I mean a lot of stuff. Alan says, that was just like an episode of twenty four. The clock is ticking on Iran leading up to early Saturday morning while they meet our requirements. I don't know no idea. I got no idea. It's very hard to hard to figure out, like all the stuff that's potentially going to happen. Let's take a look at some of the other sound here, because I've got some. I've got some really really interesting stuff. So let me go to Hakeem Jefferies. Are you guys familiar with Hakeem Jeffries. He is the minority leader in the House of Representatives. Hakeem Jefferies has got demands. You tell me, are you willing to meet the demands? Cut twenty seven go people.
00:53:05
Speaker 12: It's the reason why we are in a DHS shutdown right now, because Republicans have refused to agree to the type of bold, transformative, meaningful, and dramatic reforms we are demanding in order for the Department of Homeland Security funding bill to move forward. And I won't go through all of the demands, much of which we've talked about repeatedly in the public. But one of those demands is keep ice out of sensitive locations.
00:53:34
Speaker 1: What is that?
00:53:35
Speaker 12: And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship, hospitals, and polling sites. We want an explicit prohibition that ice can go nowhere near any polling sites in the United States of America.
00:53:51
Speaker 1: Is why can't you go anywhere near a polling site? I mean a cop can walk down the street in front of a polling site. You can walk down the street in front of a polling site. There is there some special protection? Is there?
00:54:06
Speaker 10: Like?
00:54:06
Speaker 5: Is this?
00:54:07
Speaker 1: Like? Uh, what is it that the what is it that they're trying to make us believe in? Oh? Kryptonite? So is it kryptonite? Do we do we eventually melt? How does this go? I don't understand this, But you're you're calling out a tune that nobody is really paying close attention to. I don't understand this. I mean, I really don't understand this. Maybe maybe Corey Booker can help us.
00:54:31
Speaker 10: Uh.
00:54:32
Speaker 1: The Pride of Newark, New Jersey cut number thirty. Corey Booker blaming Trump for not paying the TSA hold on is that get cut thirty.
00:54:43
Speaker 3: I'm almost at the Newark Airport right now, and I've got one simple message. Get Ice out of my airports and fund TSA.
00:54:52
Speaker 1: What we have tried.
00:54:52
Speaker 3: Over and over again to stop you from holding hostage the TSA and causing all this pain to the American people, and you won't it, Donald Trump, you won't do it because you want to use our TSA agents and the American people, you want to use them as political pawns to create leverage for you to fund a reckless and out of control agency. So I say, very simply again, fun TSA and get Ice out of our air force.
00:55:19
Speaker 1: Okay, So where can we put them? Here's what I would do. I would put like fifty to twenty and I would go fifty. I'd go fifty standing outside of Corey Booker's house because you know he's got a really nice place, I'm sure in Newark. And yeah, that's what they gotta do. Because remember the famous the chop House. Remember the chop house there was that was that was a rough. That was a rough. There was a rough back and forth. But why is everybody hating on the UH on the Ice officers. They they got everything cleared up. Did you see I watched it in I watched it in Denver, I watched it in Hartsfield, I watched it in a number of these places. I mean, this is great. The minute the minute that Ice shows up, everything works. It's like a magical sort of a thing. I want I want Corey Booker to acknowledge that the TSA people who are not being paid because of your boss. That's right, your boss, Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is your boss. And this is great. You you just you just walk in and then suddenly, whoof everybody's moving, everybody's moving. It's just it's it's one of the things that is so so remarked. I mean I really I feel emotional. I feel genuinely emotional about how how this is this is coming to come in to pass.
00:56:53
Speaker 8: Man.
00:56:53
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just wow. I want to play some thing for you. That is the emerging threat moving forward, and that is the total fraud that is coming about. This is gonna be cut number thirty one, Cut number thirty one. This is a story that sounds well rehearsed. Cut number thirty one. Listen to this. What's happening in Los Angeles, California. The fraud that is happening. Cut thirty one books up, you guys.
00:57:30
Speaker 7: We are here in our teaser at the legendary Topenga Hospice Care Incorporated at ten am on a Thursday, not open.
00:57:39
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and give them a call.
00:57:41
Speaker 7: You know, Topenga is about an hour and a half or two hours away. But there's nothing weird about this name. Okay, it's not like they're trying to divert attention. Okay, we're just gonna call them. Oh,
they're busy. The user's busy. You know. They must just be doing so much business because a couple guys are working in there a couple of weeks ago, and there's a chair in there. Okay, there's like floor and a chair, so they must be renovating. They must be doing all sorts of stuff. They've been open for about seven years, okay, and in twenty twenty two they build medicare through CMS and the paycot system one point two million dollars they build in twenty twenty three one point nine million dollars. So business is climbing. They're doing really well. They're not open now because they're super busy. They're probably on calls and stuff. But we're going to keep looking into this. Okay, to Panga with a heart in the oh beautiful place, sweet g It's a lovely, lovely facility, just the one door. No, whenever they're open, they're open, whenever they're not. You know, it's kind of that's the way it goes when healthcare and hospice agencies are so good. Okay, there's no reviews, and the website isn't a secure website, and there's no reviews, but I have a feeling that, you know, this is one of the greatest ones because they're doing the modest one point nine to zerl average, you know, and once you get above that, you start raising red flags, and you know, the California state might look at it and say, this is a little too much. You guys are siphoning from our state from the taxpayers.
00:59:19
Speaker 1: But one point nine clutch, clutch, absolutely clutch. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull the pin on this grenade in the next hour because you are not going to believe. You are not going to believe the amount of fraudulent stuff going on as it relates to hospice care in California. It's unbelievable. I mean, it is. You want me to let me take some you right now? Who is the governor of the state of Minneapolis. Come on, Tim Walls, Tim Walls, dude, Tim Walls is like an intern compared to what any twosome Newsom is got going in that state. I mean, I'm telling you, oh, I'm telling you. You wait, you're gonna hear it. I'm gonna lay it out. I'm gonna do the state of the fraud address at the back end of the last hour. Okay, so stick around for that. You've got to hear it. One of my favorite times of the week, getting a chance to go ahead and go from AM to PMPM to am. And we are bringing in today my good friend Bo Thompson. How are you, Bo? How's things?
01:00:54
Speaker 10: Hey, Brett, hope you're doing well here.
01:00:57
Speaker 1: Everything's good. Look, it's a it's a beautiful day outside. I mean, how can we complain? It's very nice? Temporarial and all that sort of stuff. So let me ask you a question. I want to ask you because I'm curious. I do not have any kind of a bracket, kind of anything like that. Are you still alive in your bracket? What are you seeing?
01:01:15
Speaker 10: I'm still alive. We do a bracket with our morning show group there, and the headline with us so far this week is that bes Bess got twelve out of sixteen Sweet sixteen teams.
01:01:26
Speaker
13: Wow, she's beating us right now.
01:01:29
Speaker 10: But I think, I think, I think, who did I have? I got Arizona winning it all, so I'm still my final is still intact. But I also had Van Vanderbilt in the final four as kind of my stretch team, and they got beat this past weekend. So I don't think I'm winning the thing, but I'm still having fun watching it.
01:01:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, absolutely, That's that's that's the fun. You're almost liberated, actually, if you know, if you're if you're out of the out of the game, you get to just enjoy everything. Speaking of enjoying, what are you thinking about as we look at this thing that's moving with with with President Trump and and potentially having a conversation with the folks in Iran, et cetera, et cetera. How do you how do you see this? I know you've been you've been doing great stuff with uh mulvaney, I mean really really great analysis all that sort of stuff, But what's what's the state of play here in your mind.
01:02:22
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I mean he President Trump.
01:02:25
Speaker 1: Uh.
01:02:25
Speaker 10: It was fascinating to watch this yesterday when we were on the air, because you know, I I at the end of the six o'clock hour every day I read the futures numbers after we hit the business headlines, right and yesterday all all of you know, the the DAL futures and the other futures were all in the red. And then President Trump had that truth social posting about UH being willing to talk and holding things off for a few days, and and and and where we see that that sort of develop as far as possibly a deal being done as he says, but he mentioned that he released that I think it's seven oh five, and it's seven ten. The futures numbers had gone up by a thousand points.
01:03:07
Speaker 14: So it's it's.
01:03:09
Speaker 10: Amazing to see how quickly something that he says can can can change a lot of things and a lot of reactions. But I think it comes down to, obviously, you know, is this going to materialize. I still when we were talking to Mulvaney about Okay this deadline, Mulvaney said Trump Trump likes to to to put these ultimatums out there and not always uh, you know, fulfill what he says he's going to do, because he likes to keep people guessing, right. He doesn't want people to know every time what his patterns are, even and it's chess game. I wonder when he's I think the biggest central question to me is when he talks about we're we're willing to engage in talks and we're we're closing in on a deal. Who's that with right now?
01:03:53
Speaker 1: Well that's a big question. Yeah, a huge question, and that that means a lot.
01:03:58
Speaker 10: And so that's that's that's kind of where I look at it is. Okay, well, if if what he's it's good that there's there's there's some sort of pullback over the last few days, that's that's better than full engagement. But but but who is he going to be sitting down with? I think if if if people knew who that was, it would make it would be easier to sort of make any sort of speculation about where it's going to go.
01:04:21
Speaker 1: See, I'm wondering, I'm wondering if this is like a weekend at Bernie's or something like that, because you know, you can't if if they if they get a name, they're gonna get they're gonna end up in difficulties on on the other side of the equation because these you're gonna have people that may not be happy about him meeting up with Donald Trump and stuff like that. And I think some of those challenges are are really big. But at the same time, we have to get some kind of clarity because you've got these you've got to ron laying minds into the straits of the horror of horror moves and all that sort of stuff, and that becomes very difficult because if we if we end up with the ship losing uh, you know, losing one of those, that's a big deal. It will create a horror show there in the uh in the horror moves.
01:05:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, and and you're exactly right. I mean, it's so oh boy, it's it's it's so combustible because if any one little thing happens, you don't know what sort of chain reaction that's going to set off. And and those those chain reactions, whether they be over there or maybe even domestically, that's been a worry for a while now that that keeps everybody on edge for you know, for for a good reason.
01:05:37
Speaker 1: Have you are you are you happy with the ability not to have to travel, uh, taking flights doing things like that, because I got to tell you something, I am very happy that I get to drive around in my car and I don't have to go to the airport or do any of this kind of stuff. I mean, my gosh, this has been this has been a nightmare. I know they're starting to clear it up at this stage of the game, but man, this this is craziness. Four and five hours and obviously the terrible plane crash that took place as well as LaGuardia. I mean, this is this is a terrible time to be out there in the in the friendly skies, so to speak.
01:06:16
Speaker 10: Well, I'm not I'm not a frequent traveler by any means, but I just so happened, not this past weekend, but the weekend before.
01:06:23
Speaker 7: I went to.
01:06:23
Speaker 10: Vegas for the weekend to see Sammy.
01:06:25
Speaker 1: Hagar how about that? How about that?
01:06:28
Speaker 13: And it was great, it.
01:06:29
Speaker 10: Was so great. I saw him two nights in a row. We saw him at the Park MGM theater out there. He's not big enough on his own to play the sphere or anything, but you know, you know, Van Halem is still intact. Maybe so, But at any rate, what I'm getting at is is I flew out of Charlotte's Airport twice to and from and I didn't have any.
01:06:49
Speaker 1: Problems at all.
01:06:50
Speaker 10: Now, you know, knock on wood just could have been the time that I flew out. But when you look at what's going on in places, you know, elsewhere like Atlanta. Yes, I got to the airport way early and had, you know, a lot of time to just kind of well look
around the airport because I thought I was gonna have to this idea in my head that I was going to be getting there like four hours early and still having trouble getting on. But I think it just depends on if you're at one of those pressure points or not.
01:07:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good point. So what do you What do you have coming up on the big show tomorrow? My friend? What are you guys breaking down?
01:07:22
Speaker 10: Well, big big things happening this afternoon. Of course, the Burger the Burger page race finally come to a conclusions. As Burger has conceded, we'll be following.
01:07:34
Speaker 14: That tomorrow morning.
01:07:35
Speaker 10: The Hubert Davis watch at North Carolina is he going to step down? And North Carolina gotta have a new coach. We're watching that story as well, and we have tomorrow in basketball season here. This is pretty cool. At nine oh five, we have the daughter of jim Valvano, Jamie Valvano, is going to join us. She's speaking at the hoodar Get Breakfast Club tomorrow morning and she's going to join us a little bit later. But I grew up as a Jimmy BC State fan, so this is a pretty cool opportunity for us to talk to her about what she does to carry on her her father's legacy and then some that's at nine oh five tomorrow in the middle of a busy day.
01:08:10
Speaker 1: I'm sure that is amazing. That's great. I can't wait to hear it. And I was so glad to catch up with you. And you know, let's just stay away from the airports until we know the coast is clear. How about that? Thanks? Thanks, Bo, appreciate it, man, Thanks thanks for being here.
01:08:28
Speaker 10: Yes, sair take care.
01:08:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it. Absolutely, That's a big deal, man. I mean that's I love it. See. I love that sort of connectivity.
01:08:37
Speaker 14: Man.
01:08:37
Speaker 1: It's just some of the things that are awesome. Dan, welcome to the program. What's on your mind.
01:08:42
Speaker 13: Dan, Hey, Gret, you know this, stay back to this. Voter fraud is really important. I'll tell you why. You get a few thousand votes here and there that are illegal, there are people who moved out of the state or are dead or whatever they are. He realized that the twenty twenty election, the presidential election, was it determined by seventy two thousand votes nationwide over four swing states. Yep, seventy two thousand votes.
01:09:06
Speaker 1: Remarkable, I mean absolutely remarkable.
01:09:09
Speaker 13: That is crazy. You think about that. You go back to look at the voting records for each one of the states of that twenty twenty presidential election, and the total DIFFERACHERI was seventy two thousand votes, twelve thousand in Georgia and twenty thousand kept the other four states, three states, And it's just nothing compared to the fraud that we see.
01:09:25
Speaker 9: Now.
01:09:25
Speaker 13: That's why it's so important.
01:09:27
Speaker 1: Sure, it is absolutely great stuff, Dan, Thanks for calling in, and a really really important message from you as well. All Right, So here's what we've got. We're going to we're gonna reset, We're going to get back on top of all this stuff that we've got. I've got a bunch of people who have opined. We'll answer some of their questions, and there's plenty of room for you as well. But today if you can't, then it doesn't welcome back. It is the Brett winterbal Show. It is great to be with you. If you need uh something fearful for you, I'm gonna give you something that can be fearful for you. I want you to know you need to go back to the beginning of the show that I did today, that I'm in the midst of here, and I want you guys to pay very close attention to these hand sized these hand sized spiders that are coming in. They started out from as much as I can figure, they started in California and then they migrated east. So you're gonna see these things and they're massive, They're the size of your hand. They're yellow, they're Jolo's whatever they call them. I don't know. I don't want them. So if anybody wants them, you guys take them. I can't. I just this is one of these things. It's just this is this is this is your warning. Don't be calling up in a couple of months and saying, what's going on with all these yellow spiders? The size of my hand. Well, I mean my hand is. I have a fairly small hand, so I don't know like I think. I think Nick probably has the hand size, and and and yes, and of course, oh look yeah, he's got a face sized hand. And then uh, of course we've got Andrew who's got a very he's got a big reach. You look at that reach. He's got a big hand. And I'll tell you that right there. I think that's about where it is. I think that's where it is, so just be careful. I don't like spiders. Nothing personal. I just I don't. I'm I'm not somebody who likes I'm not. I don't like nature by and large, except for monkeys. I like monkeys and cats and dogs and goats and buffaloes, but everything else stop. I don't need it. I don't need it. Joe Gruders is going to be joining us. He's the RNC chair, coming up in the next segment of the program. I am really really disgusted with the way that we have people in our country who should not be in our country, who then take the lives of innocent people, and then we hear from idiots, and by idiots, I mean Brandon Johnson in Chicago. Now there was a terrible, terrible homicide that took place a first year college student in Illinois, specifically in Chicago. Prosecutors now listen to this. This is such a terrible story. Joe Biden released an illegal alien who shot and killed Sheridan Gorman as she ran for her life. This is why I refuse to give up on ice. We have got to have ice in the way. It's got a function. An illegal alien released into the United States by Joe Biden. Joe Biden let this guy in. He shot and killed an eighteen year old, this beautiful young woman with everything in front of her. I mean, absolutely a heartbreaking thing. It looks like somebody that you would love to talk to.
Loyola University, Chicago. She ran for her life trying to flee for safety. And this murderer, this killer, who Joe Biden just had to have in the United States for whatever reason. I don't know this. Breitbart News reported a twenty five year old illegal alien named Jose Medina Medina of Venezuela was arrested by the Chicago Police Department and charged with murdering Sheridan Gorman, who also went by her name Sarah in a random attack on a pier at Chicago's Toby Prince Beach about one thirty am. She and her friends having a good time at the pier and this maniac, this demon, murdered her, shot her, shot her. I mean, this is this is such a heartbreaking story. If you've got a son, if you've got a daughter, if you've got a nephew, you've got I mean, just you can see what this is going to do to this family. And this isn't the only one. You just have to go to Virginia and look at this idiot who is the uh the guy in charge in Fairfax And I'm just telling you here, this is so bad and it's these are Joe Biden babies. Man, this is what this is. On Sunday, Immigration and Customs enforcement officials revealed that Medina Medina is an illegal alien from Venezuela who was apprehended at the southern border on May the ninth, twenty twenty three. Thanks to the former President Joe Biden and his expansive cash of release policies, this guy got to walk around and is still walking around upright'. It's it's shocking, it's shocking. It's ugly, it's it's horrible, it's terrible. And I gotta tell you something. I'm gonna let you hear. The worst person in the entire country, cut number thirty two, Brandon Johnson, the single solitary worst person in the entire country, and other countries cut thirty two. Go.
01:16:19
Speaker 11: We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. We've already tried that, and we've ended up with the largest prison population in the world without solving the problems of prime and violence, the addiction on jails and incarceration in this country.
01:16:35
Speaker 1: We have moved past that.
01:16:37
Speaker 11: It is racist, it is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the way to drive violence down.
01:16:44
Speaker 1: So what is what is? Here's what I think that they should do. They should take Brandon Johnson, and they should they should do a thorough and I mean a thorough investigation into everything about this guy, because I'm telling you right now, this guy, this guy has got he's filled with hubris, he's he's filled with not caring about innocent people. We sent in the troops once upon a time in Chicago so that the people would be safe in that community. People were clamoring for that. When when Trump first got back into office, and Brandon Johnson just turns his back on this beautiful young woman who lost her life. You can't. You can't incarcerate people to stop them from murdering. Yeah, you actually can, because you're in jail and you're not out murdering. See how that works. This guy, this guy, I'm telling you they need to do an
investigation into this guy because I can't believe that this guy is really serious. Welcome back. It is the Brett Winterbuw Show. It is great to be with you and uh, well, what do you know. We've got Joe Gruders joining us here the r n C chair and it is a pleasure to have you here. Thanks so much for making time for us.
01:18:26
Speaker 14: Hey, thanks so much for having me on.
01:18:28
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about what we're seeing. Uh, you know, we we we've we've been watching this, uh, the Shenanigans coming from Chuck Schumer and and and all that that bequeaths. And you know, are we ever going to get back to regular order where we're able to, you know, make sure that the TSA folks and everybody else who's being denied their their paycheck at this stage of the game, how do we how do we get back up into the right position here because Chuck Schumer seems like he wants to submarine everybody around the country what's going.
01:19:01
Speaker 14: On, Well, because that's our only playbook. It's just like with a shutdown earlier this year, forty three days of them holding the government hostage. You know, they want to stop all momentum by this president. In this case, we've been day thirty eight this DHS shut down. They're doing exactly what I ran in the terrorists won. I mean, they're they're not funding the homeland security in DHS. It's completely out of control. And these guys should be held accountable and people should be in the street rioting against them. I mean, it's it's unfortunate that we're at this point that the only thing that the Democrats are for is stopping all the momentum this president has. That's what this is about. They know they can't win on the issues because they're controlled by their far left extremists based their only focus is to disrupt in Like I said, to stop all momentum is president has created with is with him doing exactly what he said he was going to do when he was campaigning.
01:20:00
Speaker 1: I want to play a clip for you. This is Hakeem Jeffries, Okay, and these are the demands that he's offering up and i'd love to get your reaction to this, sir, cut twenty seven.
01:20:09
Speaker 12: Please people, it's the reason why we are in a DHS shutdown right now because Republicans have refused to agree to the type of bold, transformative, meaningful, and dramatic reforms we are demanding in order for the Department of Homeland Security funding bill to move forward. And I won't go through all of the demands, much of which we've talked about repeatedly in the public, but one of those demands is keep ice out of sensitive locations. And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship, hospitals, and polling sites.
01:20:49
Speaker 1: All right, so what is this? He seems like they're moving the goalposts. I mean, this is insane and he's not ready for prime time. But my gosh, a lot of people are being very frustrated by this.
01:21:00
Speaker 14: Listen, the Democrats want to cheat. That's why they want them to be able to go to polling places without ice. I mean, it's the fact that they're admitting that just shows you how far left the Democrats have gone, and how out of touch from reality that they are. But the basic line is the Democrats they want to stop all momentum of the President. They want open borders. They want to allow the toxic poison that's killing all of our kids back over the borders and into our country. They're against everything that any reasonable person would before. I mean the fact that the president's cleaned up, He's had zero releases at the southern border now for almost a year straight. We've stopped a lot of the drugs. The drug deaths have gone down, the murders have gone down. He's a law and order president. They don't want any of that. And the fact that we have these they care more about illegals than they do of American citizens should tell you something. The fact that I can't believe that he says he wants to protect the polling places. But like I said, that's why we're fighting every day on the election integrity front. We don't want non citizens to vote. Nobody should want non citizens to vote. But it's but they're blocking every attempt to block them. So it's you know, they know what they want. They know their only grasp of or chance of holding power is to do things like cheat and block reasonable reforms, but they don't want any of that.
01:22:24
Speaker 1: Visiting with the RNC chair Joe Gruders spending time with us here at WBT, let me ask you about your thoughts on the Save America Act. This is something that's very important. It polls very very well, and yet you have people that are just intransigent in this regard. Talk a little bit about that.
01:22:45
Speaker 14: Well, just think about how simple it is. Show a voter ID, which I think thirty six states require right now without any issue, and provide a proof of seditions ship when you register to vote, basic things. Eighty three percent of the Americans are support of this. Independent Democrats overwhelmingly support it. Why would they be against it? There's only one reason why they're trying to cheat. They're trying to, like I said, go back to their whole. They're grasped to hold on to power and win by any means necessary. It's bad for the country. They know it's bad, they know it's some popular, but they don't care because they don't want to release their grip on power.
01:23:22
Speaker 1: How stoked are you about Mark Wayne Mark Wayne coming in and taking over DHS that that seems to be a no brainer by any stretch of the imagination.
01:23:34
Speaker 14: He is an absolute superstar. I've spent some time with him. He is going to do an amazing job for the president. I'm so glad he was quickly confirmed by the Senate because you know, I think he'll you know, lead with distinction, lead with honor. He is as an incredible background, and I just think he'll do an amazing job, just like I mean, if you look at the President's cabinet, it's probably the best
cabinet's ever been assembled. They have the eight Team, the President's hitting on all cylinders, and this was a home run picked by the President.
01:24:04
Speaker 1: If folks want to reach out, if they want to learn more about the platforms and things like that, how do they reach out and learn from you guys?
01:24:14
Speaker 14: Listen, the only way we're going to win into five history is if we get people to join our efforts, and so you can go to gop dot com, follow me at Chairman Gruders, get involved with your local and state parties, and listen, let's go make history together. Let's give this president a full four years to give them the ability to go continue to move mountains for the average American person, that's been sold down the river over the last couple of decades by the elite politicians in DC. The President Trump is fighting for the people. We need to fight for him. Go to gop dot com and join us and give us your time or treasure if you can.
01:24:48
Speaker 1: Great, great to talk to you, Chairman Gruters, and thanks so much for stopping by and love to catch up with you down the road.
01:24:54
Speaker 14: Thanks so much, Appreciate the opportunity you got.
01:24:57
Speaker 1: It Absolutely a great conversation. A lot of information that we're getting there as well. Okay, when we come back, when we come back, all right, I'm gonna let you hear this, this fraudulent nonsense that is coming out of California. I am you are going to You're gonna get every bit that you need to know about this. This is going to be a huge topic. It may not be a huge topic right now, but it is going to be a massive, huge topic when it comes to the election. And I want you guys to totally understand what we're looking at because they are looking to rob us blind, and I mean blind. It is it is crazy, it is criminal, it is something that we should not tolerate. And I'll tell you this right now, it all bleeds back to Gavin Newsom and the leftists who are in that state. I mean, this is this is a crazy storyline. You're gonna want to hear it stick around. You know. Fraud is something that causes a great deal of rot in our country. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I need you to buckle up, because I'm about to give you some thoughts on the silent epidemic that's bleeding America dry. The fraudsters, not the cartoonish guys wearing ski masks, but the slick operators who turn to compassion into cash registers. These parasites are not robbing banks. They're robbing the vulnerable, the sick, the dying, every ten payer footing the bill. Nationwide. Healthcare fraud alone sucks up an estimated one hundred billion dollars a year, Medicare, Medicaid, you name it. It drives up premiums, starves real patients of care, and turns trust into the system. And they take that into it as a punchline. But today I'm laser focused on the shiny new nightmare that's exploding in California underneath Gavin Newsom. That's right, The hospice care racket picture. This hospice is supposed to be sacred. You're terminal, You've got six months or less to live. Medicare steps in with generous payments so you can die with dignity at home, pain managed, family supported, no roic interventions, noble right. In Los Angeles County. It has become a gold rush. We're talking about nearly two thousand hospice agencies, more than Florida and New York combined, more than the next thirty six states put together. Ground zero they call it. CBS News just walked the streets and found five hundred of these outfits crammed inside a three mile radius one single building in Van Nuys. Eighty nine hospices, not hospitals, not clinics, shell companies registered to the same mailbox, same strip, mall suite, same empty office. That's not healthcare delivery. That's a fraud factory with a heartbeat monitor, as the logo. CBS News reported it out. How do they work? Simple and soulless recruiters hit senior centers, apartment complexes. They even knock on doors, They flash paperwork, they promise free services. Sometimes they forge signatures, sometimes just confuse Grandma into checking that box. Once enrolled, the patient is yanked off the regular medicare. No more doctor visits for fixing what ails them. They're now terminal. The hospice bills Medicare thousands per patient LA averages about twenty nine and grand ahead versus the national thirteen thousand. They bill for visits that never happened, drugs that were never delivered, nurses who never showed. Patients who aren't dying get discharged alive after the money's been banked. Some are perfectly healthy. Auditors found people still walking around months after being certified for end of life care. In one busted ring, there were billing groups sixteen million dollars on phantom services, organized crews, some with reported ties to the Russians and the Armenian networks. They are running these shops like corner stores, and the patients they lose real medical care, they lose hope, they lose dignity, Families watched, they're loved ones getting warehoused in a paperwork death sentence. While the fraudsters drive BMW's all In California, the human cost is grotesque. Vulnerable seniors, often immigrants or low income folks who don't speak the language, Well, they get tricked out of their Medicare. They get paid into their whole life and guess what curative treatment gone pain management that actually works? Maybe maybe not. Some end up isolated, scared, wandering why the system wrote them off. Meanwhile, legitimate hospices, well, the honest ones are trying to do the right thing and they get drowned out. They can't compete with the volume fraud that these artists are cranking out. Taxpayers eat the bill, including you. You don't have to live in California. The money is still coming out of the federal investigations, and so guess what what comes next? Well, as I mentioned taxpayers eat the bill, federal investigators are looking for three point five billion dollars in questionable LA hospice and home billings alone.
That's not pocket change. I mean, we're talking about Minneapolis type fraud. Billions in fraud. That's schools, roads, veterans care. All of it's stolen, and it's not abstract. Every fake claim inflates, the Medicare trust funds, collapse, timeline. We're all paying for it. Now here's where it gets really angry for me. Governor Newsom has known about this for years. A twenty twenty two state audit screamed large scale fraud and abuse, rapid explosions of agencies with zero correlation to actual dying patients, well red flags everywhere. So what did he do? In twenty twenty one, he signed a moratorium banning new licenses. Good on paper. They extended it. They brag, They brag about this. Two hundred and eighty plus licenses and another three hundred that are now under review, multi agency task force, some ere guests, some prosecutions. Newsom's office just put out a press release patting themselves on the back. But here's the reality check from this month, CBS walked into the same streets and found seven hundred plus agencies still operating with multiple fraud indicators. The problem didn't shrink, it festered. The House Oversite Committee just fired off a letter demanding the documents from Gavin Newsom himself. Four years of awareness, zero effective controls FMS. That is, the federal CMS under the current administration is turning up the heat, calling California the epicenter. And what does Gavin Newsom come back with, Well, blame the other side. It's just a partisan attack. This is failure of stewardship. California oversees a massive chunk of federal healthcare dollars and weak controls turned Hospice into an ATM for grifters. The same pattern repeats nationwide, PPP loans, unemployment scams, you name it, it's everywhere. But when it preys on the dying, it reveals the rot. Fraudsters don't just steal money, They steal peace of mind from families at their lowest. They bankrupt the safety net, and they will try to tell you that it's all gonna be okay, don't worry about it. So what's the fix? Real time data analytics. That's what we need. Now. Listen up, folks. The damage keeps ticking. And if we don't stop this, shut the door as hard as we can on those filthy hands. What's gonna happen next? We're not just losing billions, We're losing our soul, one forged signature at a time. Wake up, demand better or the next knock that you might hear selling you in your dying days for profit. No, folks, we all have to stop this, all right. So we get comments, We get comments from the people and here's one that's coming in here. I'm not saying California is bad, but if I had a brother in California and a sister in prison that was falsely accused, I would do my best to get my brother out of California. First. Wow, I mean, look, this is this is this is the way these things kind of happened. You know when you sit back there and you just say, okay, hold on, Like I could throw this out to the people in the audience right now, and you could, you could opine in this regard. I'll give you. I'll give you three choices in terms of politicians. Okay, I'm gonna give you Pritzker, I'm gonna give you Gavin Newsom, and I'm going to give you Mandami. Rate them, give me, give me a one to three, rate them, I'll take I'll take eleven calls on this. I'll take eleven calls on this. So I'm giving you Gavin Newsom, I'm giving you Pritzker, and I'm giving you Mundami. Rate them for me, Just rate them. Just say, what are you doing? Are you taking Mandami? Are you taking Pritzker? Are you taking Gavin Newsom? Are you taking Secession? I don't know that you're just gonna bail out on the country. I don't I don't know. No, no, we cannot put a mulla in there in the mix. That's not fair, that's not nice. We don't even know who's in charge over there now. Well, nobody's got any ideas. I don't even know. But I can tell you this right now, the bench that we have pretty good. We have a pretty good bench. I'm you know, we don't have like Linguini spined kind of people who are walking around. We really don't see that. I do think we have a good a good offering. Especially can I just like level with you guys for a second. I'm going to level with you for a second. I don't think anybody's gonna remember how expensive the gas was. I think it's gonna end. I think it's going to get back to its normal number. And I think a whole lot of stuff is gonna happen. You've got to understand that this election that's coming up, that's in the fall, it is it is currently not in the fall yet, so you don't have to worry about that. And I know there's a lot of people that are very scared, that are very worried, that are very you know, nauseous all this kind of stuff, But you have to be willing to ride the ride. Remember, Trump is a different kind of cat. And the reason why I say that is because he's he's turned out. He can do anything he wants and then hand the keys to whoever comes up next. Is it going to be Marco Rubio? Would you take Marco Rubio versus Gavin Newsom? Would you take JD Vance opposed to say Pritzker? Would you take any of that action? I would take that action. I think that's totally possible. Nobody's gonna want to spend time with JB. Pritzker. He's a billionaire and he's not charming and he's not even interesting. And Gavin Newsom, you just heard what I took a part for you. You have you have absolutely all kinds of crazy sort of takes. But when you look at all this, the only way you win is to get out there and do the work that has to be done. And here's here's the thing that you have to remember. And I'm dead serious about this. I'm not making a joke, not kidding. This is an absolute serious point I'm making. It's all about matchups. People are gonna go into the voting booth and they're gonna say to themselves, do I really want to pull the lever for for for Chuck Schumer? Do I want Chuck Schumer to be in charge? Do I want Spartacus to be in charge? Do I want the sexiest man alive in that? Adam Schiff? I mean, are are we going to? Are we going to take any of these guys? And nobody's gonna want that. It's really incredible to think about. Do not be afraid, be brave, and stand on your principles. That's the trick. It's not even a trick. It's just the idea of saying I know what I believe in and I know what I'll stand for. There's a lot of stuff that is going down the pipeline that you have who are sitting back there, who are saying, I just I'm so afraid, I'm so worried. Okay, So would you rather have Gavin Newsom? Would you rather have Mndami? Would you rather have Pritzker? Would you rather have Chuck Schumer? Would you rather have the sexiest man alive? And Adam Schiff? I mean, like, think about it. You know exactly what you're going to get. And you know what's interesting. The people on the other side know exactly what they're going to get, and all they want is quote power. But they're not going to improve the American way of life. What they are going to do is blow the border open. Let everybody just come on in, take what they want, do what they want, all of that sort of stuff. And by the way, if you were to get if you were to get incarcerated, don't worry because the Mayor of Chicago will let you out with all of the rest of the folk. Just remember that, ladies and gentlemen, just remember that. All right, Coming up next, we got breaking with Brett Jensen and we'll be back again tomorrow. Pleasure to be with you. Thanks to Nick, thanks to Andrew, Thanks to Pam and Anna, and each and every one of you, especially you driving the Camaro. Talk to you tomorrow.
