And welcome, it is the Brett Winterable Show. It is great to be with you. Oh, my goodness. The stock market's up a thousand points. That's pretty good. That's good news. I think it's good news, although what you'll see later on tonight, oh, it's bad news. It's terrible news. It's not good news in any way, shape, or form. I want to start with... The DSA thing, but I'm not necessarily going to, you know, give them the appropriate attention that they should be receiving. But I want to take this piece from peace, okay? One of the things that these people are trying to do is they're trying to get a grip on whatever it is that's the new sort of model. All right. The Democratic Socialists of America is not the fringe cartoon people throwing around. I do think it is actually. At its core, the movement. is powered by one idea. Do you know what the one idea is? Ordinary people should have more control over the systems that shape their lives. My goodness, what a novel sort of approach that the ordinary people should have more control over the systems that shape their lives. You mean like the teachers unions that are always failing, like the criminals that get to walk around, never getting thrown into the jail, into the who scow, you know what I'm talking about. So tell me what's new with this. They're responding to three frustrations that millions of Americans feel. Economic fragility, people living. One rent hike or medical bill away from disaster. Everybody has felt that. Democratic distance institutions feel remote, unresponsive, and insulted. Really? That's new.

corporate concentration, a sense that the giant entities have more sway than citizens. Please, tell me some more. I remember when we brought in five million people across the border and they were just... plopping them down and handing them cash and doing all the stuff and abusing people, murdering people, raping people. We didn't have any kind of a say. Did you have anyone kind of a say? Did you pick up the phone and say, I've got economic fragility? You know, there's a pill for that. Democratic distance and a corporate concentration. Are these people fringe? No, they're not fringe. They're panicking. They're panikins. They're panicking. The DSA punches above its weight because it shapes youth political language, influencer, rhetoric, and the emotional tone of online activism. So in other words, they're just organized. They're organized with a particular sort of approach. You don't co-opt the DSA by mimicking their ideology, but every youth movement has done exactly that. You co-opt them by absorbing the emotional themes. I said emotional themes that give them the traction and the reframing them in a broader civic narrative. Now, here's the problem with that right there. And I'm going right off of their media strategy. The thing that's goofy about that is you sound like you're a ninth. Yeah, 10th, maybe a 9th or a 10th year in college. You don't really understand what's going on out there. Steal the problems, not the prescriptions. That's what they're going to tell you. Steal the problems, not the prescriptions. Translate their moral urgency into American civic language. Really? Really? responsibility community local empowerment accountability these are the magical words that you're supposed to recite when you walk around and talk about all these sorts of people you know last night i told you about how it was that George Washington nearly lost his life, that he nearly lost the revolution, that they ended up with 20,000 people watching a guy get hung because he was a nudnik. That's a technical term. You have to look it up, ask your grandmother. But here's the thing about this. Here's the thing about this. You can go down the list.

From the beginning of the American Enterprise, and I'm talking about the American Enterprise, going all the way back to our founding, to this moment in time. And do you know what you'll find? You know what you'll find? You will find... exceptional people doing exceptional things and not bragging about it but the only the only group of people that are ever going to be dare i say uh happy with the outcome is the same group of people that have always one at the table, who have always won, at the machine, all of that sort of stuff. What the DSA needs to understand is, Zohran Mamdani can walk around and flout and do whatever he wants to do. And all these other come again sort of folks can get out there and do that exact same sort of thing. But you are not going to change this until you actually change your mindset. Your mindset is about being truthful. It's about not going with the crowd. And most importantly, not buying into just another movement because there's only been one true movement in the United States of America, and that is the American Revolution. I'm telling you, go try to figure it out, but it's just kind of interesting. And we have to get our thinking caps put on our heads and try a different way.

Welcome back. It's the Brett Witterball show. It's great to be with you. So I came across this article over at Breitbart, and it's a very interesting article at Breitbart. An unproven Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer's billion dollar deal championed by then Roy Cooper, Democrat of North Carolina, has crumbled in Central North Carolina. The deal struck in 2022 by Cooper saw the state commit $1.2 billion of taxpayer money to VINFAST. Wait. Do we know it was going to go VIN fast? I don't know. Let's continue. A Vietnamese-based electric vehicle, EV, of course, because you know, because manufacturer, as the two-term governor sought to implement the Green New Deal policies in his last term in office, Cooper is now running against... The Republican nominee in Michael Whatley, at a scheduled monthly meeting on July the 27th, Chatham County commissioners terminated their end of the agreement saying that the company had failed to meet performance obligations and, of course, project deadlines. Chatham County sits 35 miles west of the state capital of Raleigh. In May, North Carolina, Attorney General, General Jeff Jackson, a Democrat told media that Vinfast agreed to build a factory and create jobs for North Carolinians. I'm trying to go slow here because I want everybody to understand what's being talked about. It didn't do either. The attorney general then filed lawsuit based on the state commerce department in 2022, Cooper, because everybody loved Cooper and everybody loved the electric cars because that's really where it's at. But at any rate, And I digress. In 2022, Cooper announced the deal with great fanfare saying that at the time, North Carolina is quickly becoming the center of our country's emerging clean energy economy. Wait, if you wanted to do that, why wouldn't you just build up all the stuff that we need to get the incredible

incredible technology that we're going to actually have that's going to actually be used in this world. Because I'm not going to go to Vietnam to get a car. I mean, raise your hand. Don't raise your hand because there's a lot of people that are raising their hands in the car and they're sending messages to each other. Don't do that. But the reality is, why would you want to go to Vietnam to go get the technology $1.2 billion of taxpayer money to create a whole new thing? Why don't we create it here? You see, this is the problem. This is Joe Biden Anomics. This is Kamala Harris Anomics. This is all of those folks getting into all of that kind of stuff. And I'm just, I just sit back here and you say to yourself, what is the point? I mean, you may as well throw money out the window. Because this was never going to work. What is Toyota affordability?

I knew it. It was just a thing where like, hey, yeah, no, it's going to be cool. It's going to work so well. It's going to be incredible. Cooper's history of backing the harmful Green New Deal policies includes executive orders directing bold action on climate change and the transition to a clean energy economy. Yeah, you should do that. You should do that. But not with the Vietnamese. They didn't have anything that was actually happening. Stop it. You want to go and look at the offshore wind projects? Go ahead and look at them. But don't make us pay for them. That's what it really comes down to. And the reality is, this guy, this guy never learns the lesson.

If you want to pick up a couple of pieces of lint off of Joe Biden's jacket, you can do that. But the reality is Joe Biden, Joe Biden is a jinx. And I'm going to tell you this right now. Looks to me, like the former governor may also be a jinx because he is still not answered a whole lot of uncomfortable questions, especially about all those people he sprung. Just saying. All right. So you may remember last week, we were wondering. What's going to come next? Boy, this is something I'm definitely a no on, okay? I am a no on this thing. What is it? A space X rocket booster is on a 5,400 mile collision course with the moon, expected to leave a crater that is 16 feet deep. A wayward 8,800-pound space X Falcon 9 rocket booster is expected to slam into the moon very early on Wednesday. What's today? Today is the day before that. So everything could change. Everything could change. It's going to be remarkable. But I don't understand why we're crashing these things just for the likes and all this sort of stuff. It's dangerous. I think it's dangerous. I don't think we should be doing this. But the rocket, which is about 45 feet long, 12 feet wide, has been in orbit ever since until about 2.35 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. Are you going to get up and try to look at it, Nick? Are you going to sit there and say, let me behold, behold this thing crashing into the moon? I don't understand why we're playing with this. Well, yes, that is true. It's possible that it's going to be pretty cool. But I don't know why we do these kinds of things. What happens if something goes wrong? What if something comes back at us? You know, 16 feet? What do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt? No, no, that's not what we need. That, but with apologies to the song master himself. But when you look at this, this is pretty crazy. I don't like messing around with this kind of stuff. However, it beats something else how India's Gen Z movement of cockroaches dented Narendra Modi's political image. They're getting all the back and forth there in India. For weeks, the India young protesters waved signs mocking the Minister Narendi Narendra Modi and his government rally under the unlikely name the Cockroach Janta Party.

Oh, okay. This is interesting. I'm seeing what's happening here. They secured concessions, few and extracted from Narendra Modi during his more than 12-year power in power, right? And remember, this guy, he is popular with the older people, but he is not popular. with the younger people and this is beginning to look to me like this is going to be the next move that's going to happen uh around the rest of the world why do i say that well you're seeing all these people predominantly young people who are spending their time doing what Those people are marching, talking, doing all this sort of stuff. But I got to tell you, I said it in the very beginning of the open here, and that is, don't buy any of this kind of stuff that these people are trying to sell you because you're not going to get the change that you expect. Somebody's going to come in and they're going to co-op you. They are. That's what ends up happening. You know, they'll throw a couple of people overboard. They'll say these people are crooked. But at the end of the day, this does not change anything. The only way you're going to change anything is to take a better movement and figure out how you want to do this kind of stuff. Now, the problem with this is if it gets busy and things start happening, you know, you can have places that are going to be destabilized. How do I know that? Well, what did you just see in the last of last week and into the beginning of this week with all of these people that are running around with no shirts? That's a revolutionary sort of approach. What are you seeing here now with Narendra Modi? Narendra Modi's guys are trying to keep a lid on it. This is a dangerous time. This is a restive time. And it's kind of interesting. If you think about this, you're watching all of this stuff happening like in Europe, part of Asia. all that other stuff. And at the same time, we're trying to shut down, put the lid on Iran. And we still don't know what that's going to look like. And this thing has been an absolute, you know, roller code. Really, you're just trying to go up and down and up and down. And this is terrible. We need stabilization. Talk about that next.

Welcome back. It's the Brett Wooderball Show. Good to be with you. Story over at Fox, Washington Wildfire arson suspect previously charged. Oh, wait, wait, wait, what happened here? Wait, wait, wait. This is giving me a problem here. Hold on. Okay, there we go. A Washington wildfire arson suspect previously charged with a first-degree murder. according to the records that they have found. His name is Aaron Farinacci. He faces first degree arson charges as a fire destroyed 700 buildings and forced 67,000 people to evacuate. Now, when I look at this, There's absolutely no way to fix a person like this at all, at all, okay? The man who's accused of setting the largest of the wildfires that have destroyed hundreds of buildings and forced tens of thousands of people from their home in eastern Washington was previously charged with first degree murder. before pleading guilty to a reduced manslaughter charge, court records reveal. Now, this guy was a, was, was going, he's a murderer. And they just, they, they, they give him manslaughter. And he gets to walk around. Aaron F. Farronichi, 37, was arrested. Monday on the suspicion of first-degree arson. So how do you fix this kind of a person? You can't. It's not possible. And the reality is, I'm sorry, but we have to make an example of this guy. The fires have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced about 67,000 people to evacuate.

All those people displaced. Think about that. This isn't like a natural thing that happened. This is not anything like that. You know, oh, oh, was a tornado that came through. Oh, it was a hurricane that came through. Oh, it was, you know, something else. No, this guy decided he was going to go on light fires. Farinichi, Farinacci, whatever's name is, and the other two fires remain under investigation. Now, you know darn well that this guy probably did all three. The arrest came hours after Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, pointed to climate change as the firefighters battled. with the destructive fires so he's talking about climate it's just a little climate change that climate change is just that's really we have to love the earth this guy doesn't love the earth this guy needs to be underneath the earth i mean this is horrible climate change isn't some existential global thing insley said monday it's our neighbors climate change is your neighbors Climate change is your friends? Is this guy on drugs? Is this guy a nut? Court records reviewed by the Fox News Digital Show that Farinacci was initially charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault in 2010. You know what he did? Arizona homicide. before pleading guilty into 2012 and reduced the charges with the manslaughter instead of the first-degree murder. Way to go, Jay Inslee. Way to go, Washington State. The Associated Press reported that Farinacci, then 21, oh, guess what he did? He's a charmer. Fatally shot his father during an argument over washing dishes in Mesa, Arizona. And we'll give him a, you know what? He doesn't have a dad anymore. So we're just going to give him, we're just going to give him a manslaughter charge, which is what he, yeah, he just do that. This is, this is despicable. A Maricopa County judge sentenced Farinacci to 12 years in prison. after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault. Arizona Department of Corrections records show he was released December the 23rd, 2020. You want to guess why he'd probably let him go? You got a, you got a guess there, Nick? December 23, 2020. What was raging then? COVID. Probably got a COVID, probably got COVID leave. He should have come and, you know, gone somewhere else. Less than six years after this release from prison, Farinacci again found himself accused of a major crime. But Jay Inslee says, no, it's okay. It's all nature. It's just a nature kind of a thing here. Don't, don't blame it on nature. Detectives obtained.

and arrest and search warrants before talking to Farinacci. And you know what he'll do? He won't say anything. He'll sit there. He'll get three hots and a cot. He'll get to work out on these, you know, on the ellipticals and all this sort of stuff. And all of these innocent people who did nothing wrong but living in their lives, all of these people lose all of their stuff. Their trucks, their houses, their property, their loved ones, their pets, all of that. And this guy gets to go and walk around. Despicable. Horrific. And I got to tell you something. There's something in the water out there in Washington State. It's just wrong. Welcome back. It's the Brent Wooderball show. Good to be with you. Lots of good stuff we're going to be talking about throughout the coming time. And let me go into this, because this is an important thing. We were talking about this just about 30 minutes ago. So Ralph comes in and Ralph says, we need... We need to subpoena Roy Cooper's bank records to see if the boatload of Dong from Vietnam currency hit his account, Ralph. No, we do not want to cast aspersions. This is not the time to do the aspersions, okay? I will tell you when it's time to do the aspersions, and then we will be doing the aspersions in that regard. That was a big deal, actually. If you think about it, you go all the way back to, you know, one point whatever billion dollars trying to get the money in there. This is crazy. And by the way, there are plenty of companies that you can do, you can use. You don't have to go over to Vietnam. Why are we going to Vietnam to go get these cars that never even took place? I mean, gosh, these people. who run for office, and I'm telling you my... What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

A now deceased grandfather used to say this all the time. You get them by the minute. These people want to do everything but make the city, make the state, make the country better. They want to just go out there and play around and act like they're in charge. Just Roy Cooper is a much under. sort of guy that he's spending time doing these things at the same time he's letting out these felons who are murdering people like think about that for a second hey yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and get some of those vietnamese cars okay great what else are you going to do i'm going to get a whole bunch of people to just get out of uh get out of jail and i mean this is literally going to be a get out of jail card And that, I mean, these people do this all the time. Do you know what would happen to, let me, let me pick somebody. I'm going to pick somebody. If somebody decided that they were going to. have a massive fire in California and then never build it back and just let it sitting out there like a scar like a big scar on the ground. Don't you think somebody would have something to say something about that? Oh, wait, they did that in California, didn't they? What is it about the further you go left, the crazier you get? I'm serious about this. I know, look, I understand he was a twice elected governor, and he went up to Harvard as quick as he could. Was Mandy with him? Did he go up with Mandy? Did they all hang out? Were they sitting around in the quad? All that sort of stuff. I mean, I'm just telling you right now. It just makes me lose my mind when I see these government officials doing everything but the business for the American people. It's insane. And look, you want to talk about Republicans? You want to talk about Democrats? I'm an equal and, you know, I'm an equal person. I'll call people out on that sort of stuff. But for goodness sakes, I mean, maybe we should subpoena him. But goodness, he'll just look at you. He won't even get, he won't even answer the questions. When these people are standing there, he won't even answer the questions. Every time I see Roy Cooper. And I see him on the news. I see him at events. I see him at stuff like that. And people ask him questions about all of the criminality that went down and all of these people who were sprung. And when you ask him a question, he's just like, kind of reminds me of those people that just don't want to take any responsibility.

And it's terrible. The American people deserve answers. They do. The people of North Carolina deserve answers. Because when you go and remove people from the prison system and you let them go walk around, you're going to have recidivism. I know it's a hard kind of thing to understand, but that's exactly what we're looking at. And, you know, it's how it is. You know, all right, the general says to me, Brett, he says that the hollow moon theorists are the ones pushing for the collision with the moon. If demons begin flying out. of the dark side of the moon, I can only say I warned you not to do that. Okay, first of all, we already saw the backside of the moon. And we already saw that. We went behind it. Remember during the summer? Like the early part of the summer, we went around there and they came back and they said, there's nothing back there. Don't look. Do not look at all. That's what you got to do. But the reality is, with like space talk and stuff like that, I used to be a devoted spacist, meaning I didn't want to go anywhere near space. When they told me how bad it smells up in space, that was done. I was done for it. I'm not going anywhere, anywhere near that at all. No way, no how. But if people want to go up there, they want to try to figure out what's happening, go ahead and do it. Somebody can do it. It's not me. I mean, that's just basically what I'm doing. I mean, this is a tough kind of a thing. From Brenda, we got Brenda, South Carolina. Brett, I am so sick of these judges letting these killers get away with it. Yes, they should have to spend time. They should have to spend time with the, with the criminal and just try to figure out exactly how they can fix them. Because I'm telling you, there's no fixing. Arsonists, no way. No way, no how. And that's unfortunate. Welcome back, Brett Woodrow Shuck. Good to be with you. If you want to opine, you can always pick up the phone and call us 704-570-1079, or you know, you can hit us up on the text line. Lots of, lots of good stuff. We get lots of smart people that want to opine. Sometimes they're on topic, sometimes they're off topic. It's actually, it's fine. We work it in. We don't judge. Well, I mean, I do judge constantly, but I'm not going to. call people out on that kind of stuff, right? Because that's, that's the beauty of all the fun here. So what do you say we check in with Mr. James Talarico? Mr. James Talarico, who has become a phenom, I guess, in this cycle. And it's kind of interesting to think about what he has in terms of planning. Should he, you know, have a chance to get that job?

the senator from the state of the great state of texas uh let's go to uh telephrico he's got uh opinions And they're timely cut number four go. And I think people are really tired of these culture war fights that are designed to tear us apart, designed to get us angry. I mean, there are difficult issues, trying to figure out trans athletes in sports. That's an issue where we could actually come to a policy solution. Yeah. Yeah, you could actually. You actually could get a policy fix right there. But not everybody is going to have the same answer for what that looks like. Because for many, many years, for millennia, maybe even more, you know, it's, it's been a, it's been pretty clear. And then suddenly. It stopped being clear by a particular group of people who decided that we're going to just go ahead and pretend that this is not what it was for millennia. So James Talarico, I want you to play this again for me, okay? Because James Talarico is like, oh. I just don't understand why we have to have this conversation. And then he brings up the conversation. Let's hit this again. Cut four, please. And I think people are really tired of these culture war fights that are designed to tear us apart, designed to get us angry. I mean, there are difficult issues, trying to figure out trans athletes in sports. That's an issue where we could actually come to a policy solution. Or people may already have settled in their minds that this is a different sort of a thing. Very, very interesting kind of back and forth here. Here, okay, here is something that would be something that is important if you were in Portugal, all right? And this is Andre Ventura, and he's not happy. This is Andre Ventura putting people on notice. Cut number five, please go. When Portugal's parliament banned the burqa and Nicarb, party leader Andre Ventura said it clearly. If you want to wear a burqa, go to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Morocco. Not here. His message was straightforward. If you want to live in Portugal, follow the rules or go back to your own country. Well, again, there may be people who were born in Portugal, but at the same time, you know, the cultures are very interesting. You know, you know what's crazy? CNBC's got this piece, and it's in a number of different locations.

So the U.S. has used, this is the quote, virtually all of its long-range precision missiles during the Iran War, says Reuters. Who needs to know that? Does anybody know about that? Can you explain it? I mean, grumpy guy at 6495. I understand why he's grumpy. He's hilarious, but he's also grumpy at the same time. But I mean, I'm looking at this thing and I'm going, wait, what the heck is this? Like, once upon a time when we were either in hostilities, which was a euphemism for we didn't get permission to go to war and we're just going to war, this is a really bad thing to... allow these people to go out there and sell. The U.S. Army has used up much of the stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran. According to CNBC and MSNBC, this is their hallmark thing that they do. This is what they do. They say, according to three people with knowledge, according to 77 people with knowledge of the 77. It's just really remarkable. They think that because you're going to add more people to the list, that it means something more. It's just, it's absolutely nonsense. But let's continue. The missiles are principally the army surface to surface weapons known as the army tactical missile systems, the attackums, and precision strike missiles, PRSMs, and of course also they have virtually all of these weapons according to two of the sources. But wait a minute. Hold on. So if we don't have enough attackums and precision strike missiles, does that mean we get to use nukes? I think that's what that means. I think we get to use nukes. I mean, just small nukes, like little tiny nukes, like just itty-bitty baby nukes. I think we can do this. I mean, if they're out there talking on CNBC and MSNBC and Morning Schmo and all those people are laughing about all this sort of stuff, that I guess we have to use the heavy artillery, like the heavy, heavy artillery. Because, I mean, we got a lot. We got a lot of stuff that's out there still that we have not used yet. The degree to which the military is running out of attack-ums and precision strike missiles has not been previously reported. So why would you report it now? Are you necessary to tell people this? I mean, it's kind of interesting. It's kind of funny. The sources declined to say,

Listen to this. This is how they cover their butt. The sources declined to say how many of each munition the U.S. had left. All right. So military veterans. Do you feel better about this? That they're not giving out the actual numbers and locations. And back in your day, what would you have said should this thing come to a fruition? I mean, this is pretty interesting when you kind of look at this sort of stuff. Analysts say such weapons, which cost over $1 million each, would also be important in a conflict with China. Wait, we're not... Are we at war with China? I don't think we're at war with China. So why are you saber-rattling? Why are you doing this? This is a problem. I mean... I don't think it's really a problem for us. I think it's a problem for people who are leaking all this information and just saying, listen, we don't have any of these attackums. We don't have any of these prisms. We don't have any of the anti-ballistic fad systems. We don't have any of that kind of stuff. Okay? Well, then I guess we got to use the nukes. Since you told everybody, now we have to have something that's going to be a more effective approach. And what that approach has got to be has got to be that. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm just sitting there. I'm looking at this. I'm trying to figure it out. It's very strange. And it's sad. By the way. 240 says leaking top secret information. Yes. Yes. This is a problem. It's a big problem. So I'm going to hand you the reins, and you're going to tell me how you would fix this. I would love to get your perspective. Because what is Toyota affordability?

I'm old enough to remember when you weren't supposed to talk about how many things that you had. Kind of interesting. Oh, it's that time of the week. And we've got Beth Troutman joining us. Oh, it's always great to catch up with you. How you doing there, Beth Troutman? Hello, my sweet friend. I'm doing great. I'm doing well, too. This weather's absolutely just the worst, but you know what? I guess, you know, a little sunshine, a little rain, a little humidity, and then what do you get? I don't know. You get dewy skin, you know, when you're a puy-in-a-pawful woman, doy skin's a good thing. Dewey skin, wait a minute, dewy skin. Wasn't he a football player back in the day? I'm trying to remember. I think, or was he coming off the turnbuckle? I can't remember. Do we skin? Was that? Nick, can you look that up? I got to figure that one out. I'll look at that, but yeah, I think he played for the falcus. Yeah, that's what he did. All right. All right. I got to ask you some questions. Yes. So the axing is going to go like this. What are we seeing with the DSAs and all this kind of thing? Because I opened my show and I was, you know, giving advice and stuff like that and whatever. But like, is this thing going to pit her out? Is it going to ultimately just go back to where it was? I mean, I don't understand what we're supposed to do with the DSAs. Well, I think the Michigan primary is going to give us some insight tonight. If you pay attention to primaries, then we know all too well that the people who vote in primaries, it's a small number of people. You know, we're talking maybe 10% of the voting population in any given state. And they're voting for, you know, they're really plugged in people who are voting for their candidates. And we've seen in the last... I mean, I've been thinking, as a political science major, and you know, you're a political junkie the way that I am. I've been thinking about how the pendulum has swung since 2000. I mean, think about Bush v. Gore in 2000, and, you know, like, what a new story that was. And then everything that has happened since. And you think about the pendulum swinging.

And, you know, around 2010, we started really hearing about the Tea Party and, you know, these really, really conservative Republicans that then brought the rise of the Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Lauren Boebert, you know, who were winning primaries in their districts that then put them in seats once the general election came around because they were in very easy to win districts once the general election was there. And I feel like this pendulum is swinging. in that same way to the far left now. And that's how we're seeing, you know, the DSA. And we're seeing young people who at this point have been hearing about the American dream. And they're seeing, you know, housing prices that are priced out of their affordability range. They can't afford, you know, groceries. They can't afford the life that they felt like they were going to get or even the life that their parents had, which, you know, most of the parents of some of these young gensiers are our. You know, they're us. Sure. And I think the rise of the democratic socialist movement is kind of coming from that. What do we do about health care? Nobody's talking to us about health care. Nobody's talking to us about Social Security. Nobody's talking to us about the price of groceries. And we've heard all of the Republicans, we've heard all of the Democrats say all of the talking points, yet here we are as young people not seeing any real results. And they're looking for a solution. And I think what they're seeing is... a group of people who were saying things that sound rational to them or at least helpful. And I'm not saying that as it's the solution to anything by any stretch of the imagination. But I think we see pendulum swing like this because... things aren't happening that seem helpful to the average voter who is plugged in, to the average American who is plugged in. But I don't think, you know, when you get to a general election, if they're competitive districts or competitive seats, I don't think you see DSA candidates successful, just in the same way that Tea Party candidates, you know, were successful in those districts, you know, 15 years ago, 16 years ago. I think it's... It's this weird pendulum swing because of not seeing solutions. And I think the best that we can do as people who want to see the best for all Americans and the best for our country and the best for our democracy, our constitutional republic to survive, is to actually start paying attention and figure out the real ways to come to...

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. It was absolutely totally the thing that you know was going to come next. And I got it. I got it right here. Oh, my gosh. Betsy McCoy, D.S.A. Panhandling Paul is just the start as Democrats careen toward the socialist cliff. So just to cut to the chase, we have people who are wanting to run for office. And what they want to do is to be subsidized so that you don't have to have a job and run for office. Your job will be getting money for free. New Yorkers hold on to your wallets and brace yourselves for financial chaos. Zohran Mamdani's minions in the Democratic Socialists of America are preparing to radicalize the state legislature in February, I'm sorry, in January, when they take their newly won seats in Albany. A warning sign of their coming craziness appeared Friday when Zohran Mamdani endorsed. Assembly candidate Brian Romero put up a GoFundMe page with an unusual request. Get a load of this. Get a load of this. He begged for handouts to cover his own rent and groceries for the rest of the year. until he's sworn in to represent East Elmhurst in Jackson Heights Astoria. That's in Queens. Romero won the Democratic primary in June with no Republican opponent. He's a shoe in, but he can't. This is so bad, but he can't start collecting his $142 salary and $203 per diem until January. And he says he can't figure out how to support himself in the meantime. Are you kidding me? You're going to get $142,000. You're... You're like four months away. You can't figure out how to get some money. They're calling him beggar boy, Brian. And this is what's happening.

I really feel like I shouldn't read this to you because do you know how many freeloaders are going to try to get on the jib here and get done with all this kind of stuff? This is going to be a terrible mess. I'm trying to sort of find some gigs. Travers. Do you have to go out there and try to find some gigs until you get $142,000 for the interim? I would say I would have to go out and try to find quite a bit of gigs in order to get that much money. Okay, okay. Very good, very good. You're still in the circle of trust. I love it. I love it. Other folks, meaning the rest of us, who go out and go and pay a job, get a paying job, Pay their bills. That's how it's always been run. I said this in the beginning of the show. If you go back in time, these people don't know what they're doing. He told, I'm sorry, other folks, meaning the rest of us who go out and pay for our bills, he took the page down after the post, New York Post, started asking questions. Romero. who earned $106,000 as a legislative staffer before resigning to run for the office, says he's run through his savings. Well, okay, can you get a job? Can you get a job? Can you go someplace else? And, I mean, it would be, wouldn't it be incredible if you think about this? If you could get in a car, and you could drive people around and they would pay you for that. Or you may go DoorDash. I think that would be a good name for a company. DoorDash, where you bring money, you bring food to people and you get money back on the other side. That would be pretty cool. It's too bad nobody invented any of that. It's too bad that there's nothing called Amazon. I mean, there's just a, there's a jungle down there, but Amazon, somebody should make something called Amazon. No, I am not going to take that sitting down. No, no, no, we're not, we're not doing that. That's not nice. Don't say that. I heard what you said in the car. I knew you were going to say it. Yet he's the guy that voters are entrusting with billions of dollars in state spending. He can't manage $106,000. His political platform includes a pie in the sky list of government giveaways, universal child care, free legal services for immigrants. and more, all paid for and made by their fair shared DSAs. He's one of the eight that got elected during that election, and he got 17% turnout, and that's enough to get him $142,000. Isn't that something? Isn't that amazing?

Terrible, a terrible turn and a terrible thing that we have to put up with. I don't know. That's got to be tough. Could you imagine? Could you imagine if you were in traffic here in Charlotte and in Vyerns? Could you imagine if you had to go? window to window asking for money for people so that you could get home because of all the gasoline you're burning, because of all the roadway setups. I mean, this is kind of a tough thing. Welcome back. It's the Brett Wooderable show. Good to be with you. All right, I'm just going to take a point of personal privilege here for just a couple of minutes because there is something that bothers me greatly. And I want to air this out, okay? And it's this. I remember earlier in the summer when the old man was in the woods and he got knocked over. He went like a full kind of, you know, thing because he had a bison that was behind him and he knocked him all the way, you know, to next week. And I saw that, and I understood that, and I get it. But now I'm looking at all of these videos that are showing up here. You've got kids walking up to Bison. You've got all this kind of stuff that they should have no business in being around this. And somebody is going to get very, very injured. And I just want to say something about this.

When I was first married, when Sherry and I were both first married, right, we went to Montana as our first big, hey, we're going to celebrate and all this sort of stuff. And it was incredible. I love Montana. Montana is fantastic. It's one of the best places you can go to, as long as there's no big fires and things like that. But. We went and we spent some time and it was incredible. And we were driving around and we pulled into an overlook and we were looking at nature. We were looking at nature. We were looking at all the stuff that was happening out there. You know, the different birds and the creatures and all this sort of stuff. And then as we were sitting there, all of the sudden out of nowhere, came a family in a minivan that was like seven people in the minivan. And they opened the side door and they yelled, look. And I'm trying to remember what the animal was. The animal was like a gazelle, but it was a big, it was a big animal. Okay, it was a big animal. And the dad, the mom, and the five kids went out into the marsh yelling, get them. Getting what? What are you going to get? You're going to get God. What are you talking about? And they ran all the way out. I'm telling you, it was unbelievable. They went running out into the marsh. And then suddenly, as quickly as you could imagine, they ran back into their cars. And they drove away very fast. I don't know what they saw. But I can tell you this, New Jersey plates. They were in New Jersey plates. And I guess they don't see much of that sort of approach. They ran out there. They ran right back out. And it was gonzo. I just don't understand why people want to mess around with nature. Nature is incredible. I mostly like staying far from it. You know, I'll have binoculars, something like that. But messing around with all of this nature that you got, oh my gosh. And somebody's going to get hurt. Somebody's going to end up not wanting to go get them. because you go out there trying to go get them and you're going to get got like i said be careful be serious be right all right so as most of us know

We have another set of races that are taking a flight today, and Justice Department is explaining why it's monitoring elections in Michigan. This is from Town Hall, and I think it's a perfectly good sort of approach with this. The Department of Justice's Voting Rights Section and Michigan U.S. Attorney's Office. Their staff are monitoring the polling locations in Michigan on Tuesday ahead of the contentious primary elections in the swing state. Specifically, the polling sites in Lansing, Hamtramac, East Lansing, and then, of course, Detroit are being watched by the federal government, according to a DOJ release. The release explained that it was to... ensure the transparency of ballot security and compliance with federal law. Our primary monitoring efforts continue today as we seek to ensure free and fair elections nationwide. Assistant Attorney General, Harmeet Dillon of the Department of Civil Rights Division was talking about that. A lot of people were asking a lot of questions. She was answering some of those questions. The Department of Justice is devoting extensive resources to the uniform and non-discriminatory monitoring. They're doing this because they want to make sure that everybody has the ability to come in and get... vote and go about their business. The Michigan Secretary of State told Town Hall that they were notified from the monitoring in Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing at the start of July. So they've been voting for a while, and they've decided that they wanted to, you know, make sure that everything is going the way you would want to go. All reports so far today indicate that the monitors are carrying out their duties in accordance with the law. And Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson stated that in July, Michigan's elections are transparent, accurate, accessible, and secure. That's great. That's all anybody wants. People don't want to see any nonsense. People don't want to see any people giving people troubles. I mean, I remember once upon a time when we watched back in 20, gosh, it was 20-04.

And you had people standing outside the polling places with sticks and bats. And they were just saying, hey, no, we're just making sure that everybody's here to come here and vote and they're allowed to vote and all that sort of stuff. But it was an intimidation factor, no doubt about it. The Department of Justice noted that the individuals can ask for elections to be monitored in particular areas. So you can go and request that in Michigan. And it looks to me with these couple of people who were sitting there as observers, these were people who were doing their thing. Two teams of U.S. Department of Justice and observers were swinging through the polling places in Lansing, Michigan, and they were just checking everything out, making sure everything was cool, and that's about the end of it. In Michigan, many closely watched races are unfolding, obviously, because of the Democratic primary, and the United States Senate race. You've got Haley Stevens, and you've got Abdul El-Sayed. And then you've got on the other side, you got the Republican. And the Republicans unopposed in that regard. So we're going to have to see what that's going to look like. But, you know, we have to make sure. And we should never be talked out of, hey, you know, you don't need to be here. You can do whatever you want to do. Just, you know, we'll tell you if there's a problem, something like that. We don't want that to be the case. What we need is clean. clear results and everybody gets that piece of the enfranchisement you are enfranchised to go out there and to stand there to look to see to witness to vote to get that little sticker on your on your on yourself and and the rest of it but i mean when you look at that kind of stuff i mean this is this is absolutely It is absolutely nonsense. I've never been into a polling place, and I have voted in a lot of places. I voted in L.A., I voted in the Bronx. I voted in a lot of different places. And the reality, when you look at these people and you're seeing the stuff that they're doing, it's pretty boring stuff. But then you've got to worry. Sometimes, some way, somebody wants to try to play a game or they want to try to do something that they shouldn't be doing. That's why you have these observers. That's why you have the ability for the federal government to come in and oversee and see what's going on here. That's not that hard. It's for everybody who needs the, you know, the thing that they need. And that is certainty that your vote counted. Very easy, very simple. Welcome back. Final segment of the program.

Thanks so much for spending time with us. There's a number of different stories that I could actually talk to you guys about. And we only have like a little bit of time left. So I'm going to give you two different stories. You may find them to be interesting. You may think that it's bizarre. Everybody has their own opinions, all right? That's what we got. So, at a screening of the Spider-Man brand-new day at a movie theater in Colombia, it was evacuated. They had to evacuate the place. Why? Because there was a foul, flagellant odor. A video recorded. at the Cine Columbia Cinema inside the Plaza Boccurande in Cartagena. And it seemed to be some kind of a problem, a very bad smell. They didn't know where the smell was coming from. They didn't know how it was coming from. They didn't know what was going on there or any of that sort of stuff. And eventually, they figured out it was a stink bomb. A stink bomb. Why would you do that? I mean, think about the kids. Think about the children. Think about all this. You're going out there. You're celebrating. You're having a date. You're doing your thing. And somebody brings a stink bomb into that mix. That makes no sense to me at all. But you know what? It just tells you how universal the fart is. I mean, it's just one of those deals. Other big story, a place I would never go, by the way, a Florida Steakhouse. is touting clothing optional nude dining experience. Why would you want to do that? You have a beautiful place. You're eating beautiful food. You're doing all this sort of stuff. I don't want to sit with naked people near me with my food. Like the food is, I can imagine the food is wonderful. It's one of these steakhouses, right? Big old fancy steakhouse. But I mean, for goodness sakes, what are we doing? A Florida restaurant is inviting guests to disrobe on the first Monday of every month at a nude dining experience. Why? I mean, why? You could have done a whole bunch of other things. Marad Ali. The chef and the owner of the C-L-A-S-S-S-Soir-stakehouse in Hollywood, this is in Florida, came up with the idea at the monthly event as a means of attracting attention to the eatery in an unusual way. What about the food? Like, isn't the food like what you're supposed to be focusing on? That doesn't make any sense. And again, are the people serving it? Are they wearing like no clothes? How is this stuff? This doesn't make any sense. Let's dive in a little bit more. As a restaurateur in this rough environment, we have to be remarkable. And remarkable means people are talking. He told Axios. No, the food.

The food, the ambiance, the incredible stuff. If you're going right to naked, and I'm not saying naked, I'm saying naked. If you're going straight to naked, in the place, what are they going to do when the next day you have to, how do you put this stuff together? Like you got to get a whole bunch of different things happen in here. I mean, this is something that we absolutely cannot put up with. And if you ever try to bring me a naked steak, it's going to be a problem. I mean, that's just no good. The chef says the servers, okay, they remain clothed in their usual attire during the private dinners. But they've been trained to be respectful of unclothed customers. Why? Bring me a cocktail. Bring me a steak. Bring me something. I'm not paying 300 bucks to look at other ugly people. I'm sorry. Or beautiful people. I just want a steak. And I want to go home. And I want to take like seven different showers on the way home. Just so I know I'm safe. All right. That's going to do it for me. It's been a pleasure. Can't wait to get back with you tomorrow. It's the Brett Wooder Bulls show. Breaking with Brett Jensen Huang is next. Talk to you tomorrow.
