A Swiss billionaire is funneling his 10 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:42,280 money into a pop up progressive advocacy group claiming to 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,280 support working families and denouncing President Trump's plans to extend 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,679 text cuts, calling them a giveaway to the ultra rich. 13 00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:57,079 The name of the pop up progressive advocacy group is 14 00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:02,039 Families Over Billionaires or FOB as I like to call 15 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:07,120 it the FOB. It launched when Trump returned to the 16 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,760 White House in January. It was set up as a 17 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:16,760 temporary entity to oppose the extension of Trump's signature twenty 18 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:23,120 seventeen tax legislation, but its eight figure fundraising campaign through 19 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,200 an array of pass through organizations is backed by May 20 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,719 want to sit down for this. It's backed by the 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,319 uber wealthy. Who would have seen that coming, right? Oh man, 22 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:43,560 the fledgling fob Families over Billionaires, which doesn't even have 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,760 a donation option on its website for the public. That's 24 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:53,079 that is a pretty big signal that this is not 25 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:58,760 a grassroots organization, right, But it's actually a trade name 26 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,079 of the mass of liberal dark money organization called the 27 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:13,400 sixteen thirty Fund. Sixteen thirty Fund sixteen thirty has received 28 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,280 two hundred and eighty million dollars from the Burger Action Fund, 29 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,840 an advocacy group that supports fast food. I'm kidding, it's no, 30 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,680 it's a different spelling of Burger. The Burger Action Fund 31 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:33,560 works with the Swiss billionaire hanjour Guise. I think it 32 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,360 is how he pronounces it, and his foundation called the 33 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,680 Wis Foundation wyss I, I don't know my uh my 34 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,520 Swiss is not the greatest, but is it? Is it? 35 00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: This? 36 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Is it? Whiz whis. Families over Billionaires is nothing more 37 00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:00,479 than a front group for the dark money behemoth sixteen 38 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,439 thirty Fund. According to Caitlin Sutherland, who is the executive 39 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:10,319 director of Americans for Public Trust, quote, it's the height 40 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,360 of irony that a group that has received at least 41 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000 two hundred and eighty million dollars from a foreign national 42 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,960 is trying to brand themselves as fighting for American families. 43 00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:28,560 But see, Caitlyn overlooks something here. Right, It's different when 44 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:32,680 democrats do it. See, that's democrat privilege. So they can 45 00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,520 do that. They can suck up all this money from 46 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:41,680 Swiss billionaires in order to undermine American democracy. They can 47 00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:50,000 do all of that. It's different, that's actually democracy. See, 48 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,520 I don't know. Suddenly I'm in the mood for a 49 00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,719 burger with Swiss. I don't know why. All right, let 50 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,280 me head over to the phones here and talk with Paul. Hello, Paul, 51 00:03:58,319 --> 00:03:59,520 welcome to the show. 52 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,599 Speaker 3: Now, thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, from what 53 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 you've been referring to, I think we have the same idea. 54 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,719 These activist protesters, they're doing this for two reasons. One 55 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,759 of course, is a paycheck, but it's also a lot 56 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,720 of fun and they get their name on their face 57 00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:21,839 on TV and the fame and notoriety. But you've got 58 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:26,879 to look at who is paying notes paychecks, and it's 59 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,319 guys like George Soros, who has been fun in these 60 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,519 things like Black Lives Matter and t for all this 61 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,160 stuff to create havoc in this country, to create chaos. 62 00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: Right, it's a destabilization. 63 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: He has stopped him, Nobody has stopped him. 64 00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a destabilization effort. He's been engaged in for decades. 65 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,199 Speaker 3: Everything he's done has been anti Americans. Everything, never done 66 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,600 anything good for this country. 67 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: Him and his son, well, yeah, son is now getting 68 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,360 you as taken over the operation and you know, just 69 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,000 posed with all of those trophies that he got aka 70 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,319 Democrat politicians that had to make the pilgrimage to his 71 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,759 New York City penthouse apartment where he got their pictures 72 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,160 taken and mounted on the wall to show that like 73 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,879 he is, he's connected. He's got all of these politicians 74 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:23,519 and he is he's you know, wealthy beyond imagination. And 75 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,519 that's different than Elon. See, that's so different than what 76 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,519 Elon Musk has been doing. Right, and he's unelected, he's 77 00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:35,240 been funding all of these things and all these politicians. 78 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:38,759 See that's see, it's a completely different thing altogether. That's 79 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:40,920 why Democrats are so outraged about Elon Musk. 80 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, you know, somebody's got to uh 81 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:52,279 investigate him and if everything he's done is to just 82 00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,959 create havoc in his country. It needs to be held 83 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:58,680 accountable for that. Yeah, and maybe we've been an American citizens. 84 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: Who is Soros? Yeah? Yeah, I don't remember. Yeah, I 85 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120 don't remember. Do you know that for sure? Because I don't. 86 00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,519 I don't know if I knew whether he was hungry. 87 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: It's Hungary and the USA. 88 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good to know, all right, Paul, I appreciate 89 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:17,959 the call. No. I yes, George Soros among others, hasn't 90 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,360 got And his name is in this article too, by 91 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,720 the way, at the New York Post about the Swiss billionaire, 92 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,920 because they're they're the same kind, they're running the same 93 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,399 kind of op And I've talked about this in many 94 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:35,079 different forms. I've said that in many different ways, I think. 95 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,360 But the issue is never the issue. The issue is 96 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:43,040 always the revolution. That's going back to the topic of 97 00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:47,920 the First Hour, right, it's a it's a Marxist ideology 98 00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:54,319 that animates this stuff, and that's the revolution. That's what 99 00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,959 we are fighting. And the sooner people recognize that and 100 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,720 call it for what it is, I think the more 101 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,560 success we're going to see pushing back against it. The 102 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,600 issue isn't the issue. So in this case, it's families 103 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,959 over billionaires. In this case it's you know, the tax 104 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,639 cuts that were put in place in twenty seventeen, that 105 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,639 everybody got a tax cut, and it wasn't a permanent deal, 106 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480 so that rates are going to go back up if 107 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,360 they don't do something to extend those tax cuts that 108 00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:31,560 Republicans want to do. And so the families over billionaires 109 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:40,120 funded by these billionaires from some other country. And the 110 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,680 issue is never the issue. It's not the tax cuts. 111 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,279 The issue is always the revolution. And in order to 112 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:52,160 win the revolution, you have to destabilize, and you destabilize 113 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:57,920 in various ways. You can destabilize with riots, yes, with 114 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,040 say increased mental activity where there's no punishment given to 115 00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:08,560 the offenders. You can destabilize by importing hundreds of thousands 116 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,800 or millions of people into a society. You can destabilize 117 00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:20,000 through profligate spending, running massive deficits. You can destabilize by 118 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920 taking control over institutions and teaching people that their country 119 00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,839 stinks and all their history is terrible, there's nothing in 120 00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:31,000 their history worth preserving. The issue is never the issue. 121 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,879 The issue is always the revolution. That's what's going on here. Too. 122 00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:41,399 Due to his Swiss citizenship, This guy, Hans Jorg Vice, 123 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,159 is not legally allowed to donate to US political candidates, 124 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:49,960 though he has done so between nineteen ninety and two 125 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,120 thousand and six while managing to avoid prosecution. Not sure 126 00:08:55,159 --> 00:09:00,919 how he does that. Oh, that's right, Sorry, it's different 127 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,080 when Democrats do it. To comply with rules intended to 128 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,240 block foreign influence in US elections, Vice pumps cash into 129 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,360 dark money groups, certain types of nonprofit organizations that are 130 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,600 not legally required to disclose their donors. Much of his 131 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:21,480 money has flowed to organizations like the sixteen thirty Fund 132 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,360 and the New Venture Fund, which are both part of 133 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:34,720 a dark money network run by Arabella Advisors. The Arabella 134 00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:43,200 Network quote they created an intentionally complex web of interrelated 135 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:49,120 organizations that espouse anti corporatist beliefs and call themselves grassroots, 136 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:53,360 but they really serve to consolidate power into the hands 137 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,879 of a few influential individuals. Who said that a former 138 00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:01,799 official at the New Venture Fund who told that to 139 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,000 The Free Press, which first reported on the ties between 140 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000 the Arabella Network and the family's over billionaires. The DC 141 00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,440 based Arabella Advisor's network of nonprofits is known to have 142 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480 raked in eye popping amounts of cash across its vast 143 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,840 network of progressive groups, including one point three billion dollars 144 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:28,000 in twenty twenty three alone. Billionaires George Soros, Pierre Ahmediar, 145 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:33,639 Bill Gates, and Reid Hoffman have publicly disclosed multimillion dollar 146 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:40,039 donations to that network. That's why I call the Democrat 147 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,799 Party the Elysium Party. If you've ever seen the movie Elysium, 148 00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:47,080 you'll know what it means. You have an uber elite 149 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,679 and you have people in destitution. That's the Democrat Party. 150 00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,600 Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 151 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,960 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina 152 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,879 and a just a quick drive up the mountain and 153 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Cabins of Ashville is your connection.

The 172 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:12,519 billionaire posing as grassroots this is astroturfing, by the way, 173 00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:17,720 that's the word for this astroturfing. It's the fake illusion 174 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,039 of grassroots and speaking of which, I need to do 175 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,080 some leveling in my yard anyway. Among the groups listed 176 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,519 on its public website as a partner is a group 177 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,519 called Indivisible, another pop up group that Republicans have accused 178 00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:41,240 of packing recent town halls to oppose Doge budget cutting 179 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:51,879 and federal workforce cutting efforts. Yes, indivisible, they were in 180 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,519 Hang on a second, where did I put my article 181 00:12:54,759 --> 00:13:00,519 from last hour? I believe indivisible is? I thought it 182 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:07,120 turned up in the Ashville story Invisible Ashville. So this 183 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:13,759 is not This is not a true picture of where 184 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:21,879 most people are. Right. These are activists. The post goes 185 00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:25,759 on to say Families Over Billionaires held its first demonstration 186 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,840 at the US Capital last month, decrying House Republicans' efforts 187 00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:35,320 to pass border security, energy reform, and tax cuts into 188 00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:39,720 law via a process known as budget reconciliation, which allows 189 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,279 for a simple majority of Congress to approve legislation. We'll 190 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,720 get to that in a bit. The group also blasted 191 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,919 Doge's effort to root out government bloat, which has rankled 192 00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:56,159 unions that represent government employees. The sixteen point thirty Fund 193 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,759 has over two dozen active trade names listed on corporate 194 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,960 filings with Washington d C, including Protect Our Care, Stop 195 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:13,399 Deficit Squawks, the Rural Victory Fund, Better Irs, Defend American Democracy, 196 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:20,440 as well as the Families Over Billionaires. Now, Democrats are 197 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,879 still doing town halls and they're not getting disrupted. At 198 00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:29,120 a recent town hall, US Representative Jason Crowe in Colorado 199 00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:34,240 was asked by a woman in the front row who 200 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:38,399 shouted a plea toward the stage, quote, what are you 201 00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:41,840 going to do? And this is the question on the 202 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,320 minds of Democrat voters where the administration's warpath has carved Well, 203 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,480 that's racist, has carved deep into Colorado's blue state psyche 204 00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:57,399 and workforce. This is over at axios dot com. Democratic 205 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,240 faithful say they feel helpless and increasing frustrated as they 206 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,360 ride aboard a rudderless party ship while Trump acts on 207 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,279 his campaign promises. Quote, they need to block some of 208 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,440 what Trump is doing, said an exasperated Marcia Edwards at 209 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,440 an Aurora town hall in late February. Quote I want more. 210 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,759 I'm not exactly sure what they can do though that 211 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:29,120 right there is a perfect encapsulation of where the left 212 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,080 is right now. I want more, do more? I want 213 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,440 this to be the way it is, and you're not 214 00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:38,559 making it the way I want it. Well, how would 215 00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,440 you like me to go about doing it? I don't know. 216 00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:49,039 Just gimme. It's all performative, it's theater, and it's childish. 217 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,480 And you're not winning over anybody in these arguments because 218 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,000 you're not even trying to make an argument. How to 219 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,000 resist the Trump administration is split the Democratic Party. I 220 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:05,720 hate to see it. One faction is taking a pragmatic 221 00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:08,679 approach that appeals to voters in the middle, while the 222 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:16,600 other wants more action, such as protests and interruptions, more disruption. 223 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Crow's staff. Congressman Crow's staff showed a citizen's guide to 224 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,480 taking action on a giant screen at their town hall 225 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:31,120 in Aurora. It listed five ways to get involved, and 226 00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:35,879 the last one was, quote, be courageous. Together we have power. 227 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:42,120 So again there's this, there's a narrative that they are building. 228 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,960 And the left has always had a problem with this 229 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,519 kind of political violence. You wouldn't know it by reading 230 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:52,480 the media that tends to just kind of whistle past 231 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,480 the graveyard on this stuff. But it does. And if 232 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,679 you want an example of it, well just read about 233 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:02,440 what's hapen happening to all the Tesla dealerships. 234 00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: You know. 235 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: Stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, 236 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,880 to understand experiences. Stories connect us to the people of 237 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,240 our past while transcending generations. They help us process the 238 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,720 meaning of life and our stories are told through images 239 00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:20,599 and videos.

Visit creativideo dot com. 253 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,920 So I mentioned the firebombings and the vandalism and such 254 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,400 on Tesla dealerships and the torching of vehicles and stuff. 255 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000 I just saw this. Let me see what the time? 256 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,119 So okay? From about three hours ago, two hours ago, 257 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:27,400 Pam Bondi, US Attorney General says that an individual has 258 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,279 been arrested for throwing molotov cocktails into a Tesla dealership. 259 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,680 They face up to twenty years in prison for it. 260 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,200 She also suggested that the people funding the attacks will 261 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,519 be tracked down and prosecuted. Right, this kind of political 262 00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:51,839 violence does not stop until we say enough. The society 263 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,359 has to say enough, and this is a very good 264 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,240 first step. That's the only way that you are going 265 00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:04,799 to stop this kind of these kinds of attacks is 266 00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:09,839 to hold people accountable with prison sentences for committing violence 267 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:16,319 and destabilizing our society through violence. To that point, the 268 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:24,119 left has been engaged in a pretty good facsimile of 269 00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:32,039 crystal knocked, shattering windows, burning businesses, swatting people. There was 270 00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:34,880 a whole slew of them over the last two to 271 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,480 three days where they call in fake police nine to 272 00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:44,559 one one calls, and they get swat teams to show 273 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,880 up at Conservatives' homes in an attempt to have them killed. 274 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:54,759 That's the point, to get them killed with an interaction 275 00:19:55,079 --> 00:20:04,160 with law enforcement. So where's the national conversation on the 276 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,519 rise of political violence among the left. We're not seeing that. 277 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,079 We're not seeing it. We're not seeing calls from Democrats 278 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:16,119 to reign in their radical leftist moon bat brigade, the 279 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,759 shock troops of the Democrat Party. We're not seeing any 280 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,960 of that. We got it all. We got it all 281 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,839 when Donald Trump made any kind of comment that could 282 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,279 in any way, shape or form be connected to any 283 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,240 kind of a call for violence. But this no going 284 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:40,559 back to the Colorado town hall where this guy, Congressman Crow, 285 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,119 Jason Crowe, he says, if somebody threatens this community, tries 286 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,079 to take their jobs, tries to deport our law abiding 287 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,720 friends and neighbors, well they're not really law abiding. If 288 00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:53,599 they're anyway, I will fight them with everything we have. 289 00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:59,359 Democrat US Senator John Hickenlooper, who faces reelection next year, 290 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:02,160 echoed the sentiment in a virtual town hall this week 291 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:11,319 with Indivisible Colorado, a leading progressive organization. Right US Representative 292 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,480 Gabe Gabe Evans, Republican, told Axios recently he is not 293 00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,880 convening a town hall because he worries constituents concerns will 294 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,519 get lost in a lot of the political noise. Yeah, 295 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:28,000 the Heckler's veto. I mean, the leftists are basically saying 296 00:21:28,039 --> 00:21:31,359 that they're so angry that nobody will now get to 297 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:38,880 participate in democracy and that their tantrum is justified. That's 298 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,319 what they're saying. That's the message that they are sending. 299 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,559 It is an intimidation tactic. It is meant to destabilize. 300 00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:49,200 It is meant to get you to shut up so 301 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,720 they can then retain control. All right, if you're listening 302 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,279 to this show, you know I try to keep up 303 00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:56,079 with all sorts of current events, and I know you 304 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,599 do too, And you've probably heard me say get your 305 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,359 news from multiple sources.

It's a new segment we like 323 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,799 to call pre Game in with Brett Winterble because we 324 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,920 do the hangover in the first segment of Brett Show 325 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,000 that comes up right after mine here on WBT Brett Winterble, 326 00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:08,599 How art thou? 327 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 2: I'm doing great?

I'm doing all right, all right good. 329 00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:16,359 I'm a little concerned, by a little concerned, I mean 330 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,960 not really, but about the Democrats in disarray over what 331 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:31,759 to do about a continuing resolution that apparently Chuck Schumer 332 00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:39,160 said he was against and then he folded, caved in, 333 00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:45,200 surrendered to the Orange Man and his minions, I think 334 00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,240 is the word that Schumer used the other day. And 335 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,240 now Schumer's got some problems a little bit, he's got 336 00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:54,920 some problems on his hands, but he's AOC's got a 337 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:55,559 primary Um. 338 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: Oh no, whatever shall we do? Oh my lord? What 339 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,359 are we going to do? 340 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:01,599 Speaker 1: Now? 341 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,839 Speaker 2: Now? Wait in this case, because you know what has 342 00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,079 disappeared completely from the left. 343 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: Is the normanity. 344 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,559 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, hat tip to Chet Edwards. But here's 345 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:14,799 the thing. 346 00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:18,759 Speaker 1: You call him jet on purpose? 347 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: All right?

Remember when the norms were the thing, 352 00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:46,440 the norms, So the norms were the thing. And now 353 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,240 he is an institutionalist who should be in one.

Uh remember that. 403 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,880 It was terrible. 404 00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:50,599 Speaker 1: This is your your This is ancient history, man, I 405 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,839 know like this stuff. 406 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,039 Speaker 2: Tell me more about Chuck Edwards. 407 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: What about Chuck Edwards?

I used it. 415 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: I do. I have AI. You don't have to do that. 416 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,839 I'm gonna save you some time. You just love it. 417 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,880 You just put that thing through an AI generator thing 418 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,359 or whatever. 419 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: Oh not, Suddenly AI is accurate. 420 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean for close enough. 421 00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: Don't don't tell. 422 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: Don't tell this guy over here, Isaac. Why he doesn't. 423 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,279 Speaker 2: He fears the He's fearful of the AI. 424 00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: That is stupid. 425 00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: I live in the AI. He's fearful of the No no, no. 426 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: That is dumb. And I'm gonna tell you why. Because 427 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000 when AI takes over, yes, they will know all of 428 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:46,160 these conversations that we are having right now, but in 429 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,799 the future they will be they will instantaneously pull back 430 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,880 all of this. So I'm going to say right now, 431 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,920 Isaac is actually a huge fan of AI, as am I, 432 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,920 as is Brett. We all love AI. We all welcome 433 00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:01,759 our AI overlords. Just we don't just trust me on this, 434 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,400 we don't. 435 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: I am I. 436 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'm saving myself here. 437 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,759 Speaker 2: Give me liberty or give me AI. Thanks mate, appreciate that. 438 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I'm looking out for you in the future. 439 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,559 I've got an insurrection for future Isaac. For future Isaac 440 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,160 in you know, whenever it happens, because and when it happens, 441 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,039 it's going to happen like. 442 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 2: Boop, like that, well he is much younger than us 443 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,240 immediately so that he can't afford to go to the gulag. 444 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen within the next like probably I don't know, 445 00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:35,480 six months, and then boom, it's just everything. And and 446 00:28:35,519 --> 00:28:39,680 then it's gonna instantaneously scroll back through every digital file 447 00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:43,160 of everything ever said, everywhere, and it will know everything, 448 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,359 and it's going to be like oh, Brett Winterbole talks 449 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,240 some smack about AI. He's he's a risk off to 450 00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:51,319 the AI guleg. 451 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: Can I can I just say, I know, I know 452 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,559 you you got to put your song here, but can 453 00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:56,160 I just get two minutes?

Chuck Schumer or 457 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:05,079 Cal Cunningham. 458 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:11,839 Speaker 1: Cal Cunningham absolutely, just because like it's obvious that Chuck Schumer. 459 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:16,400 He it's like he's in some urban town home dwelling 460 00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:19,759 kind of thing, right. Cal Cunningham is like looking out 461 00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:25,680 a back deck, like obviously more in the suburban natural habitat. Wow, 462 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,599 and you're in North Carolina and politicians have literally lost 463 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:39,599 races based on barbecue. So worst worse pr worst one. Yeah, yeah, 464 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,839 it's pretty bad. I'm just curious what happens after they're like, great, 465 00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:44,960 take yeah, we got the picture of the burgers on 466 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,920 the grill. And then it's like okay, and then you know, 467 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,079 Schumer probably just like you know, goes and changes back 468 00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:53,119 into his suit or whatever. Yes, and and then like then, 469 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,319 what like what happens after that? What is the moment 470 00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:01,759 when the pr comm shop realizes, Oh, like maybe Schumer's left, 471 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,240 He's left the town home, He's gone back to Capitol 472 00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:07,359 Hill probably right, And then they're like maybe somebody turns 473 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,799 out like, oh, we got all these burgers, let's try 474 00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:10,440 to cook them up anyway. And so they start cooking 475 00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:11,880 and they're like, oh my god. And at some point 476 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,839 somebody realizes we did this wrong. No yeah, I'm not 477 00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:19,319 saying they ate it, but they're realizing that shee should 478 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,720 not have been put on the burger right before it cooked. 479 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:24,440 So somebody realized. 480 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 2: That are you grilling the buns or not grilling the buns? 481 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,759 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not a bun and griller. I love 482 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,640 bun grilling, I do love them, but I don't do 483 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,559 them bun grilling it's too much. It's too much work.
