And welcome, it is the Brent Wooderable show. It is great to be with you. Obviously, you're aware of the fact that we are right now, if you were driving, don't try to turn it, don't try to turn it on in your car. You could listen to it. You can hear some of it. But we're watching the Senator Graham's. Well, I mean, it feels weird to me to say it because he was a guy that had a lot of energy. He was a guy that people either loved or hated or whatever it was. And he's one of those people that I would just say gone too, gone too early, gone too early. And I know he was like in his early 70s. But when you think about. what we have in our lives, by the way, it's the Brett Wooder Bull Show, 704-570-1079. I was thinking about a number of truths that I think are real and foundational if you're an adult person, okay? When you really think about this, and I sat back and I said, okay, what would the things be that you would want to pass on to somebody because you knew you were going to be going away, right? Something like that. What are the things that are the most important? Family, friends, faith, the ability to articulate all that sort of stuff? But I was thinking about this, watching all of this. I've been watching all of it this morning into the afternoon. You know what's really interesting? Time is really your only real currency. Like, you can always make another dollar, right? You can land another project. You can rewrite. another draft, but you can never buy back a single spent minute. And that is something that I think a lot of people would be wise to sort of think about in that regard. I think what you would want to see is how is it that you and whom you spend your time and attention with? ultimately how you spend your lifetime and you should treat your focus as precious so so often you hear from somebody and they say oh gosh guess guess who passed away oh gosh hey guess who died oh gosh what what happened to him oh my gosh i didn't know that that happened that's really sad it's terrible it's awful but You just never know how that's going to go or how it's going to land. Another thing, regret hits harder than failure, right? Swinging and missing might hurt your pride for a moment, but sitting on the sidelines, wondering what if will quietly haunt you for decades. Take the shot.

Not the Anthony Fauci shot, but take the shot, bet on yourself, the discomfort of trying is brief, the weight of unfulfilled curiosity is heavy. People remember how you made them feel. And this was an important thing I think we've seen with Lindsey Graham. Accomplishments fade. Titles disappear, and status is remarkably short-lived. What remains in the hearts of the people around you, your family, your friends, your colleagues, your community, your church, is how present, generous, kind, and fair you were when it mattered. We have to also remember a couple of other things. Forgiveness, forgiveness is freedom for yourself. Holding on to bitterness, holding on to anger, old grudges. It's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick. Action cures anxiety. As I've gotten older, this is something that I've tried to work on personally in a very real way. Worry lives entirely in the future. They have a sayings. I've heard it from a number of people that do not take on board the wreckage of the future. You want to live in the day. But you also want to live in the realm of what might happen. The antidote to spiral thinking like that is almost always taking one small, tangible step forward in the physical world. Action grounds you in the now. Tomorrow, tomorrow, next week. I got to do this. I got to go buy a car. I got to go do this. I got to do all that sort of stuff. But it's important for you to live in the moment that you're living in, your kids, your grandkids, your loved ones, all that sort of stuff is important. Humor is an essential survival tool. I love comedy. I love joking around. I love it. And I think it keeps you young. And as long as you are feeling that way, that is great. Comparison is a trap. That's the cousin of the anxiety. Character is built in the unseen moments. Who you are. And when nobody is looking at you and you're not being measured, there are no rounds of applause or external rewards. Your real foundation is the important thing there. Integrity isn't a grand gesture. It's a daily quiet habit. And finally.

The 10th one that I've come across. Waiting for the perfect time. The perfect plan or the perfect version of yourself means waiting forever. Life is inherently messy, unfinished, flawed. And that's precisely where the beauty and the growth. And the character lives. Embrace the rough edges. I think we can take a lot of lessons from what we saw with Senator Graham. And I think he is somebody that we could learn from. You may not have liked his politics 24-7-365, but the reality is if you go out living the way you want to be seen and to do and to all of that, ladies and gentlemen, that is an absolute win right there. Welcome back, Brent Littleboro Show. All right, so I don't know if anybody has said anything about this, but I think it's important. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Your local Toyota dealer has great deals available today on RAV4, Grand Highlander, Camry, and Corolla, with the features and style you deserve.

So in Chicago, they have decided that they want crime to go away in Chicago. I know, right? Who would have thought? So Chicago is telling... criminals to not do criminal things. Nick, who came up with this idea? This is a brilliant idea. Cook County State's attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke is launching a public service campaign across not the Fruited Plain. But across the big shoulders of Chicago, across the Chicago Transit Authority system aimed at warning people who commit violent crimes on the buses and trains that her office will seek pretrial detention. Wow. Wait. So you're saying there's crime. That's good. That's a big, admitting you have the problem. Don't they always say that? That's the way you get better. So getting that problem out of your area, very smart, very good take. Chicago decides that they're going to fight crime on public transit by reminding riders that crime is illegal is essentially what they're saying.

Now, I'm not making fun of the two people that are holding these signs. You want me to read what the signs say? Oh, sure, I will. Of course. Violence on the CTA will not be tolerated. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office will prosecute. and seek pretrial detention for all violent offenses on the public transit. This according to ABC 7 in Shytown. So they're putting signs on buses and trains. Okay, maybe you didn't hear that. They're putting up signs on buses and trains. Now, I'm pretty sure that there were some terrible incidents last year, 232 people killed in Chicago. This year alone, 232 people. So far, and now they're putting down the hard realities. Signs. Signs, signs, everywhere are signs. Chicago man, with 49 prior arrests, set a woman on fire on the train, and nobody stepped into help. Now, they're going to put him, you know, he's going to get pretrial transportation. 49 arrests assaulting people. Here's my sign. The sign tells you that you're not supposed to do this. Bob, Nick, Steve, Esteban. I don't know. I don't know what the names are. I don't want to know the names. The campaign is set to post. 7,000 of these warning signs across the transit system. I mean, this is a far cry. This is a far cry from Saturday in the park. I think I just read a big sign. No? No, that's not it at all. So they're going to put up 7,000 of these signs. O'Neill Burke. Alvin Bragg in the ABC News piece, according to O'Neill Burke, her office, has approved felony charges in 483 CTA-related crimes since she took office nearly two years ago. They have prosecuted approaching 483 people. Of the nearly 500 cases involving violent crime on the CTA, O'Neill Burke, said Cook County judges have ordered detention 83% of the time. What happened to the others? If they were committing those crimes, why did they let them go?

She said, prosecutors have 48 hours from the time of the arrest until a defendant's first court appearance to present arguments for detention. So people are naturally asking the question. Now do gun crime. Now do the gun crime. Why are we not getting the gun crime? You know what's going to be next. It's going to be that awesome, that awesome teammate of the WNBA, and she'll just put her finger out and point, you, you are going to go away. I can't believe it. It worked. Is it true that this song right here was the original Rocky song? Is that it? No? I'm just kidding. It's the Brett Waterville show. No place to better to be listening to anything than right here. I'm just telling you, we have a variety of different sounds and stuff like that. A lot of people are starting to come in and say, what are we going to do? What is the language signed for the CTA? What does that mean? Because, you know, they're printing up 7,000 signs. And they're going to put them up on the trains. And they're going to say, yes, don't murder people. Don't get stabbed. Don't stab. Don't light people on fire. Don't do any of that kind of stuff. I think we've got a whole new sort of approach that we're looking at here. No doubt about it. Tajikistan. Anybody familiar with Tajikistan? Tajikistan is punishing citizens for, quote, get ready for this, Nick. Alien, Islamic, headscarves, and beards. So I think if you were to be in the United States of America, like New York, L.A., San Francisco, I think it would just be called style. like here's some style that you can have if you're wanting to look you know particularly fetching out on the uh out out in the world the central asian nation of tajikistan is majority muslim But its government recently launched a crackdown against Islamic headscarves and long beards for men on the grounds that such attire is alien to the Tajik culture. New interviews.

Where were the original interviews? I didn't even know we had a new batch of interviews. New interviews, this is Breitbart News. New interviews with Tajik Muslims show the government is pursuing this policy with gusto. I have not heard the word gusto since probably. 1978, like that's about the last time I heard gusto. So gusto is causing headaches for American officials who want to build a closer relationship with Tajikistan. So we have these. abilities to communicate people all around the world. Well, we used to be able to do it. Then we doged. And then I think they kind of brought them back. Radio Free Europe, not the song by REM, which is a great song, by the way. But Radio Free Europe, RFE, reported on Sunday that there's a crackdown going on with Muslim attire. And it's been effective. One Tajik Muslim interviewed by the outlet explained that he was arrested and fined pay up $18 and held for three days because he had a long beard and he is now required. No. Oh my gosh. This is amazing. Okay. If I were going to have a television show, I would call it this. Okay. It would be real or not real. So you're going to tell me, Nick, I want you on the mic just for a second. He got fined $18. He was held for three days because he had a long beard. And he is now required. to send in weekly selfies to the police to prove that he remains clean-shaven. Real or not real? Don't laugh at that man. That man has got style. That's got to be false. Goodness gracious. Okay. RFE noted that the law on traditions and ceremonies. I have that book right here, by the way. So I know exactly how much I can leave on and not all, and get rid of it. It does not have explicitly outlawed beards, but the authorities still found some reasons to detain men and force them to shave a passport official bluntly admitted. that male applicants are told to shave their beards and reported to higher authorities whether or not they comply. So they make them do it. And they got to put the pictures in. Now, let me tell you something. I'll bet you like Razul or whatever the guy's name is. I don't know what his name is because he probably doesn't want to have his name said.

But I'm telling you this right now, if this guy plays it right, he can have a clean-shaven face, and they can just use him over and over and over again, and he can make money. You know what that would be, right? Do you know what that would be, Nick? That would be... That's a great side business. It's like him to an officer and a gentleman when he was selling all the clean stuff. You could be a beard. Oh, I see what you did there. Did I do that wrong? I see what you did there. Nice job. We're going to have to flag this. We're going to have to flag this. We got to get a dependent and figure out if this is allowed or not. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Right now, your local Toyota dealer has great deals available on some of the most reliable trucks on the market, like the off-road ready to coma, rugged full-sized tundra, and legendary forerunner, each with the space, tech, and features to handle it all, from the work site to the trails.

Toyota, let's go places. Did you do this on purpose? Did you do this on purpose? Because Coach Kloak. Says that ZZ-Z-Top would be screwed in Tashkan up there. Oh, with those beards, you can't do those beards. Why not? Oh, gosh. Takesha's dad. That wasn't what we called it. No, it was Tajikistan. It was Tajikistan. Yes, that's right. You're correct. You are totally right, Coach Cloak. I love it. By the way, we had a missive that came our way, and it was from Brenda in South Carolina, and it's Brett. There was a beer with gusto. I can't remember what beer it was. Well, it depends on how much of it you drank, but it was also, there was a different beer. You had a couple of them. Joseph Schlitt's brewing company used gusto as its primary marketing catchphrase, defining the brand for a generation. Before that, it was a classic formula retro recipe, often called the 1960s, Gusto Formula, featuring more malt and hops than later mass.

uh market uh variants well you know why because that gets you drunk faster i'm not saying that you were drinking that but i mean that that that would happen that's why people like to drink that uh all that super hoppy stuff you know there's a lot of people they go for the hoppy stuff and it happens uh this is from uh i don't know who dan from san diego says brett putting up signs on subway trains and buses In Chicago, genius. But now they have to teach the people how to read English in these schools. Well, that could happen. That's big. I guess the first 6,000 signs will be artist renditions of somebody with a knife stabbing somebody else. And the circle with the line through it, that will work. Oh, no. We want everybody to be safe. Go back to my opening monologue. I want everybody to be safe and happy and wealthy and wise and all that sort of stuff. But when you look at this, this is this something completely different. This is a completely different thing. And I still want to know what the heck's going on over there in Tajikistan. Because Breitbart, when they put this up... And I got it right off the transom immediately. The headline was, Tajikistan punishing citizens for alien Islamic headscarves and beards. Now, when they put alien, isn't that one of those things that you're not supposed to, you're not supposed to like make fun of? This person is an alien. Is it an, are they an alien? Or they are just not? you know, accumulating, right, well, you know, doing this stuff that they want to do. I don't know. Tomorrow we are going to see something, and I have to ask you about this, a very serious question. So Anthony Fauci is going to testify tomorrow. I don't care about Anthony Fauci. I think Anthony Fauci is a lout. I think he was trying to double dip or be whatever he was going to be or however that was going to go. But I'm hearing up and down the line that we have to watch Anthony Fauci. We have to watch. We have to listen to Anthony Fauci. We have to see all this sort of stuff. I want to get out of 2020. And it feels like they try to pull us back in in 2020. And I'm telling you right now, I don't know if I'm going to watch this. I heard Pete saying, you know, because of his, because of the airtime that he's on, it's hard to cut sound and, you know, then turn it around right away and all this sort of stuff. I would love to just ignore Anthony Fauci. I think we know everything we need to know about Anthony Fauci. And I think that's, I think he's a perfect candidate for shunning. So I'll take three calls on the other side of this. Should we, should we Anthony Fauci? Should we stop Anthony Fauci? Or should we just shun Anthony Fauci?

It's the Brett Wooderable show. It's good to be with you. Okay, so when we went to the break, the commercial break, and I know you guys were listening to all the stuff that we were breaking out there, tomorrow there's going to be a Anthony Fauci Fest. Is it a Anthony Fauci Fest or is it a Anthony Fauci Fest? Or is it Anthony Fauci? Exclamation point. I never want to go back to... 2020 other than the reality that I got to be a host on WBT. And I just don't want to go back to Anthony Fauci land. I don't want to go back to Biden land. I don't want to go to Anthony Fauci land. I don't want to go back with any of that other sort of stuff that took place. I felt like we... ended up with a very ugly break in our civil society. And the only person who seems to have benefited from all of this is Anthony Fauci. So Anthony Fauci is going to go. The committee is going to gavel in probably 10 o'clock in the morning. And this one is a Rand Paul thing. and Rand Paul is going to talk to him. Now, I've heard up and down the dials. the cable channels, all that sort of stuff. And everybody's, you know, yucking it up and laughing about Anthony Fauci. And he's such a great guy. I mean, look, if you need me to give this to you, I will give this to you. Okay, I'm going to give it to him. Nick, get ready. We're going to play it. We're going to go back to the bad old days. And I hate it. It's awful. Cut number three. Oh. Go, Qatari. The single most respected voice in the pandemic, it's Dr. Anthony Fauci. The man who's become known as America's doctor. The nation's top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci. You are seen to many as a superhero. Dr. Anthony Fauci. American hero and New York Yankee fan. You've done so much for this country in terms of this crisis, so I really appreciate your insight. Who better to give us answers that we can trust than Dr. Anthony Fauci? The perfect person to answer our questions today, joining us now, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Anthony Fauci, appreciate your candor. Dr. Anthony Fauci, appreciate your service to this country. We appreciate your service. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. Greatly appreciate your service to America. Thank you for you. 37 years of service, I believe, to seven presidents, and thank you for your work over the past year. The great news is you're sticking around in the Biden administration. We are so grateful to you, Dr. Anthony Fauci, for everything you do. Thank you so much for everything you do. Thank you very much for the work that you do. Thank you very much for the reassurance. And as always, for all of your public service. Thank you, Dr. Anthony Fauci. So those are all leftists. Every one of them are leftists.

Yeah. The news outlet, notice also has new reporting on the DNC putting its physical headquarters up for collateral. Last year, in order to obtain a $15 million line of credit to help invest in off-year elections. I got thoughts. I got thoughts in a big way. Stick around. We got to break this thing down because I know what the game is. I got it. I just figured it out. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for some serious truth talking about, okay? One of the things that They just can't help themselves. Okay, can't help themselves because we have a situation where the DSA is now essentially in charge of the Democratic Party. And they have, like, they've lost all their money. They don't have any money. You heard what I talked about with the no money in the coffers? Here, go to, give me this one. Cut number four, Seth Moulton. Seth Moulton is very upset. He's one of these guys that doesn't really do anything. But when he gets upset, he gets upset. Cut number four, go. Do you think the Democratic National Committee is a mess? Yes, I do. And months ago, I called on Ken Martin to resign. The bottom line is that the leadership of the Democratic Party right now is a mess. And this is not the first time they've tried to hide this mess. Remember, they said, Ken Martin said that they would release an autopsy report on what went wrong in 2024 so that we could turn it around and start winning in 2026. And then he covered that up. So we're covering up all kinds of messes. So there you have it. It's not a joke. This is real. They don't have any money. Now, why do you think you see all these weirdos? And I'm, I'm not doing this like for schick. But have you seen the people that are running for office on the DSA sign? Have you seen them? James Talarico. The lady in Michigan who's going head to head with the guy who says he's a doctor, but I don't know if he's a doctor. You know, that guy's in that thing. Doesn't it look a little shady here? Aren't we seeing some shady stuff going on here? And here's why I say this. It to me seems like the Democrats. The DSA people, these radical loons doing whatever they're doing, they're interns. We have to pick this mantle up. They are interns. That's all they are. They're pretending. I don't know if you've ever done an internship. I did a couple of internships when I was in college.

You know, when you go on internships, you don't really get paid. Maybe you'll get a sandwich or something if there's a meeting or whatever. But you're, it's really like fly or sink. That's it. And I'm telling you, they have decided that the Democratic Party has been taken over by interns. These are interns. Look at, look at that pervert in Maine. And the allegations that came across him, nobody in their right mind at any point in time would have that guy as a guy who is going to run for that office. This is what's happening. You need to put this into the body politic. You've got to refer to these people as the interns. This is the professionals versus the interns. This is a really, really bad predicament that the Democratic Party is in right now. And I don't know what they're going to do next because if they're this, if they're this right now with Ken Martin, if that guy, that guy's possibly, you know, willing to do anything. Take the hostages. I mean, not really hostages, but you know what I'm saying. And so this is like a crazy thing. And they don't have any money. And by the way, if you ever run a company and you say, hey, can you just give us a 147 day payroll before you actually come to collect on this? That's a scary reality. This is weird. And who was Ken Martin's buddy? Do you guys remember who Ken Martin was? Do you remember who Ken Martin was? Ken Martin's buddy was? The guy, the governor, the governor from Minnesota, they were all buddies. They were all wired in. It's really weird stuff. I don't know how this is going to come apart. But I can't wait to watch it. No doubt about it. Mark and Rock Hill, welcome to the show. What's on your mind, Rock? What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Your local Toyota dealer has great deals available today on Tacoma, Tundra, and Forerunner with the space and features for any adventure.

Hi, this is Mark from Rock Hill. Hi, Mark. How are you? Pretty good. I got a pretty good idea why the Democrats are out of money. Go ahead. Ever since Doge and Nick Shirley found out all this fraud going on around a country? Yep. I think that impacts their money. Okay? Because I think they were getting kickbacks.

Hmm. Why do they let the fraud go on and close their eyes? That's a good take. I like that take. Yeah. I know a lot of Americans, the perception is they're letting this crap go on on purpose. Mm-hmm. And the only reason I know why is follow the money. That's it. Somebody out of audit, everything. Yeah, well, unfortunately, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. But unfortunately, the reason why they can't audit it is because somebody's got to get access to those books. And if they don't have the access to those books, because it's a private organization for all intents and purposes, this is a very interesting thing. All right, great stuff. I appreciate the call, Mark. Thanks again for spending time with us. We really do appreciate it. When we come back, Barbara, I'm going to take you on this next call. I promise you. I know you've been holding on, but I want to get back to this and the Anthony Fauci stuff. So stick around. We've got tons and tons and tons of stuff still to talk about. And more than happy to spend the time with you. We always love talking to this audience.

Welcome back. It is great to be with you. Coming up in this next segment will be joined by Bo Thompson. Can't wait to have the conversation with all the stuff that's been happening right now. Let's go out and say hello to Barbara on line one. Barbara, welcome to the program. What's on your mind? Hi, Brett. Thank you so much for taking my call. Can you hear me? Sure, yes, absolutely. Okay, good. I've never been on the radio before, so this is all new for me. I wanted to talk to you about your conversation you were having earlier about Anthony Fauci and you wanting him to just kind of go away. And as I agree with you, you know, 2020 and Anthony Fauci, I would love for it to all go away also. This is such a personal. story for me. But my mother died because of all his protocols. She was put on the ventilator. She was put on redesivir, and we were not allowed to be in the room with her. We were not allowed to visit her. My mother also had a little bit of dementia, so I know she was terrified being all alone in the hospital without her family. So my feeling is I can't give up on this subject until he's put to justice and pays for all the hundreds of people that lost their lives because of all his protocols. Right. See, this is the tyranny of the government, and it catches people in this sort of way. Because even if we had the ability, you and me, right, we'd say, hey, we're going to go and we're going to serve papers on Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci is a dirty duck. And the reason why we know he's a dirty duck is because what we saw at the end of the Biden administration and going into the Biden administration was that Anthony Fauci was never going to be brought to justice. It was impossible. Because he's got the golden ticket. He's got all that sort of stuff. And I would, I mean, 100%, I'd be happy as a clam to go out there and to find him and say, listen, you are responsible for what happened. You are responsible and you should be held to account. But this guy is the sort of person who. I just, he's, he's, he, I have such disdain for this man. And let me tell you something that people typically don't talk about. Because Anthony Fauci, once upon a time, was working when the AIDS, uh, when AIDS came above and people needed to try to get therapy and things like that. And so he, he rode.

on that on that ski for a long time and that's where he got all of his oh he's a miracle worker he's a great guy he's all this sort of stuff no what tony fouchy was was somebody that i think was allowed and i think he didn't care about any of these people who who lost their lives and it's despicable he he should be you know when when we hear from uh When we hear from Zohran Mamdani wanting to take Benjamin Netanyahu to court or whatever, this guy should be in the world court. He should be charged with that. And I'm so sorry that this happened to you and to all of the thousands of people who will never, unfortunately... Find a way to square this because this guy is a bad guy. And it's my hope. My hope is that they can't that my hope is there's a jurisdictional place where he goes and maybe somebody decides that they're going to take him into custody. But it's terrible. And they they took and they took and they took so many people's lives that it was. Absolutely heartbreaking. And I am very, very sorry about all of this because it was the most vulnerable who paid the price as Anthony Fauci now gets to go out there and live in the limelight. And that man, that man is not a good man. No, he's not. And I mean, you know, this is going on six years for me. And it's, it's just as bad as the day that she died. And the hospital. only allowed us to watch her die through a glass door. Awful, awful, absolutely. So it's very painful, and he needs to be brought to justice, and I'm waiting for that day. Yep. From your lips to God's ears, and just to understand that no matter what, you will see her again, and you'll be with her again. I know. And that's important. You've got to remember that. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. And this is the sort of thing that is so ugly, you know, when you think about this. Because he's going to go in that room. He's going to be that guy. And he's going to walk out with his millions of dollars in patents and all this sort of stuff. It's really despicable. And it's heartbreaking. And it's people who suffer gravely.

All my favorite time of the week when I get to cross the streams with the incredible GVT team. And that is, of course, as we know, Bo Thompson today, how are you doing, Bo? How are things? It looks like we're going to maybe get a little bit of weather or something. I don't know. What's going on in your world? I can tell you when I walked outside a few minutes ago, it was about as humid as it gets. So I walk back inside to call you. That's good. That's good. You have a little bit of iced tea or something like that or whatever you're doing. I get a question for you. Obviously, the talk of the town and really the talk of the country is what we just saw with the passing of Senator Graham. And of course, you know, we're watching all of this, the pomp, the circumstance. What's your pull away from this? going from the beginning of the morning up into the midday and beyond. Well, I watched a good bit of the funeral service. I watched President Trump's speech, and it was, you know, it was the combination of diluting his service and underscoring, as he's done in several opportunities to speak in the last week or so, underscoring his influence. But I also thought he told some stories, he told a couple of funny stories, especially the one about how Lindsey Graham I guess President Trump, they had a back and forth with their phones. And then President Trump gave out Lindsey Graham's phone number back when they were, you know, primary combatants. And even he told the story today and read the whole phone number, which I thought was. It was a classic Trump, but it was, and some story about some golf course conversations, but I thought he, I did a nice job today of striking that balance between, you know, eulogizing him and talking about his influence and, and, you know, walking that line with the somberness of the story, but also giving you some insight into what their relationship was like because. You know, I don't think very, very few politicians will ever be able to say they had the political relationship that the president and Lindsey Graham had. Is it fair to say that Senator Graham, now past Senator Graham, is it fair to say that he's? of a version of the american dream i'm sort of getting vibes about that you know when when you think about where he came up from hard scrabble all that sort of stuff and then doing all the right things and pulling all the levers man i mean that that's that's pretty remarkable when you think about that

Well, when you're someone who grew up around here like I did or a lot of our listeners that either grew up here in North or South Carolina or have called this home for a long time, whenever you hear any kind of story about anybody coming from the small town area that he did in South Carolina and you work your way all the way up. And I think, you know, you don't have to be a Republican to feel this way. I think somebody on the other side of the aisle would look at him and say, there's an example of somebody who was able. despite the political polarization in 2026, somebody who was still able to reach across the lines. And that's a trite phrase sometimes in politics. I'm going to reach across the lines. And it's one thing to say it. It's another thing to do it. And again, I go back to having the era of the president the way that he did that few did during the Trump era and still being known as someone who. could reach across the lines and had connections in D.C. like nobody else and constituent service to boot. I think he was a unicorn, and especially in these times. Yeah, absolutely. And I think there will be books written about him and things like that. And obviously, you know, the entirety of the... thing that he will be sub-celebrated for. All right, I'm going to hit you with something very quickly because I hit you this weekend, and it's this. Can you believe that it's 40 years since the top gun setup, man? I mean, this is crazy when you think about it, Bo Thompson. 40 years, man. And look, kudos to them for Tom Cruise for actually putting out a sequel that was worthy of waiting all those years in between a few years ago. And that was, you know, you talked about COVID earlier, that was kind of the movie that got people going back to theaters after COVID. But the soundtrack, Kenny Loggins, you kidding me? That was Danger Zone. That's the 80s. That's the 80s wheelhouse. I got to tell you, if anybody ever gets a chance, go see the shack, the shack, which is actually a candy store at this stage of the game. But you can still go there and see that thing that was the shack that they were in. And it was a great thing. What do you got for tomorrow, my friend? So tomorrow you're talking about Lindsey Graham, and obviously there's the other side of this, the special election that's happening to primary to see who's going to run in the general election. We have Mark Sanford, former congressman and former governor who is running in this race. He's going to do this tomorrow at 805. So that'll be an interesting conversation to say the least. Mandatory listening. We want you to listen to the entirety of the show. You get smarter every day. And thanks so much hanging out with us, and I can't wait to hear you tomorrow. Good to talk to you, man. Talk to you later. Hey, you got it. That's Bo Thompson. Be fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

It's the Brett Wooderbill Show. Great to be with you. A lot of stuff that we're still going to be talking about. I'm looking at the board, and I am seeing that the revolution is over. It is over. The DSA, the SDA, the ASD, whatever you want to call it, it is over. The people have understood exactly what's going to happen next. Why do I say this? Winterball, why are you acting so sincere, so real? Why are you doing this? Why? Well, because there's no more money in the coffers. The coffers are gone. They're losing their money. It's unbelievable. If you think about this, it's a shocker. And if that had been the GOP. People would be dancing on the graves. And that's why I want to bring in on this immediate conversation. I've got Mike Daisley. He wants to do a rebut. Go ahead, Mike Daisley. Try to knock me off the box. I don't think you can do it. What do you got? Bring it. Let's hear it. Oh, man, you're talking about a setup right there. Boy, you're pitching, you're bringing in the heat from the mound, man. Let me say what I could do. I'll take a swing at it. I will say up front, I would much rather have the GOP's money than what the Democrats don't have. No question about that. But I am taking some comfort from the wisdom of, are you ready, upward? Yes. Uh-huh. It was the wisdom of Brett, because I want to make sure I may not have a quote quite right, but I remember you saying on a number of occasions that it's not so much about the parties, it's not so much really about the polls, but each race comes down to what? The candidates, right? Yeah, matchups. Matchups, yes. Right. And so when I look at the matchups, I'll see some very encouraging things. I look at stuff like Jon Ossoff down in Georgia. who's not facing a particularly strong candidate, but it is Georgia, but he's sitting on $50 million in cash. James Talarico has been able to raise from mostly small donors. He's got $70 million in cash. So those are the types of things, and you go race by race, there is going to be money in the coffers. Will it be able to match?

The gobs of money that the Republicans have? Probably not. But, you know, there'll be enough to certainly make an impact. No question about it. So it's from the wisdom of Brett that gives me some consolation. So wait a minute. So hold on a second. There's the best swing I can make. So hold on, hold on, hold on. James Talarico. James Talarico's got $70 million. Did his mommy give it to him? Where did he get that money? Where did he get that money? He didn't have two nickels to rub together to even light a match. How did he get this money? Is it flowing in? How is this happening? This guy doesn't even know what positions he stands on. It's shocking. Well, a couple hundred actually are for me, and I'm not the only one. Oh, my gosh. Why would you burn your money like that? That's terrible. I feel bad for you. Well, no, because I think he has given me the impression. I think he's given millions of people around the country, which is here's somebody who clearly is faithful, he's mild-mannered. How so? He's very strong in his convictions. He's very strong on his convictions, and it's going to be interesting for me to hear all these quote-unquote Christians talk about how we really ought to be. rooting for... No, no, no, no, no, no, you're not going to... You're not going to see... Jesus, Ken Paxton. So, you've got Ken Paxton. Yeah. You know, it's going to be interesting to hear, quote-unquote, Christians say, ah, Paxon is the one we need, not for this person, this seminary student who quotes scripture and does it well and does the way that... And he likes all the trans and all that kind of stuff, right? He's doing all the trans technology and all that sort of stuff. But here's the thing. I can't believe that you're going to buy this swamp water coming out of James Talarico because the reality is even, even, even, even the Lord was betrayed. three times before the cock crowed. And I'm telling you right now, you can go right back to the fallings, the failings, whatever that is on the state of Texas. You can go back on that, but I'll tell you that right now. We've got to find out where that money, if he's got $70 million, who, where's he getting that? I want to know, is he getting it from the cartels? Where's he getting that, do, Ramey? I think you can find out. And I think his average, what I heard is this average donation is somewhere...

$25, $35,000, and that's where it's coming from. It's coming from small. It ain't coming from Texas. It ain't coming from Texas. It ain't coming from San Francisco. It's coming from. Get out of here. There's no way he's raising 70 mil in the state of Texas. I don't believe that for a moment. And I'm going to check to make sure I'm right. I'll call back to Andrew. I'll text you if I'm wrong. But I think I'm right on that. And I think it's also going to be fair to ask, if you're going to ask about where James Talarico's money is coming from, how about Ken Paxton's money? That's very fair, too. And I'll put the two of them up in terms of integrity any day. Okay. That's a fair point. That's an absolutely fair point. I mean, look, it's, it's, go ahead. Yeah, I thought I'm saying, but my point is, again, to echo the wisdom of Brett, which is to say, yeah. Matchups. It's all matchups. The golfers are dry at the DNC. No question about it. I'm not happy about that. But at the same time, you've got individual races around the country in which there's some really good matchups. So in the next 98 days, there's going to be a lot of very interesting things happening. And what I'm hoping will happen is that we actually will focus Brett on. And I'll do what I can. And if you let me back in and discuss things. I've never, I've never banned you. Go ahead. Go on. That's funny. You're very kind to do that. But I'm looking at things like, you know, health care and housing and the price of groceries and the price of gas. Those are going to be things that I think make the most difference, not, you know, not. Hunter Biden's laptop. Think along. Nobody's talking about Hunter Biden's laptop. What the people are talking about are, you know, confiscatory policies in New York City where they're going to take people's houses away. That's a dangerous situation, no doubt about that. But we can fight that in another day. I appreciate you calling in today, and I always love talking to you, buddy. Always appreciate our discussions there, Brett. I really appreciate it. Take care. You're on fire today. Keep it up. I'm trying to stay on fire. I just don't want to get burned. I came across this story. Four in five toddler foods at grocery stores are ultra processed foods. Holy cow. Like, I'm old enough to remember when I used to get up in the morning as a kid, eat, you know, whatever it was going to be. Right? You get up in the morning. Apple Jacks, all that sort of stuff. And I think a lot of that stuff was pretty much, you know, like still sort of wholesome. But, man, researchers from the University of Texas in Austin analyzed more than 2,783 toddler food products from 21 grocery stores in Austin, Texas. The findings presented at the American Society for Nutrition's annual meeting comes as U.S. Food and Drug Administration

considers new rules for the front of packaging, labeling, and marketing to the kids. So when you look at this, like, you know, I know that there are people who don't necessarily like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Okay. But what's going to happen when this? let's say incentive goes away when all those companies are going to come back and put all this stuff in with the kids and believe me believe me i am not i'm not a hippie-dippy i'm none of that sort of stuff you know i i i once upon a time i loved eating whatever i wanted to eat and all that sort of stuff but at some point in time you know you got to kind of figure it out and go okay i think i'm going to do something different um Like, you know, Nick, I bet, I bet you remember this, Nick. I remember the high sea. drinks okay the high seed drinks where your grandmother or your grandfather or your mother or your father they would they would open the top of them from the top with with those with those sharp things those edges and they would just pour it out into by by the glassful and that was like breakfast for a lot of people sometimes and that's why everybody went to school and got in fist fights when they got off the bus, because everybody was hyped up on high sea. I'm not trying to slag high sea, but you know what I'm saying. I mean, we consumed a lot of sugar. We had a lot of sugar, and that's why we had such great athletics. Because remember, like, if you go back in time, and I don't know, depending on where you were reared or where you moved or wherever you went, they used to have the physical fitness tests. And what was great, because I was always skinny, like a skinny guy, I was able to climb up on the ropes. And remember, they used to have the ropes that would go all the way to the ceiling. And you had like, I don't know, a one ply of that stuff that you would fall down onto from 30 feet. And everybody was fine. You know why? The sugar. The sugar and all that sort of stuff. That's what it was. It was just keeping you on the plane. I mean, I remember it. I remember it. I mean, totally. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. We got a retraction of some sort from Mike Daisley. Should I read it? I think I have to read it. It's a Mike Daisley missive. No. That is common misconception. The 70 million figure represents his total cumulative fundraising for the cycle around 70 to 72 million raised. Okay, so he, at least he's acknowledging. This is, see, this is, if we can, if me and Mike Daisley can do this, then we can stop the Iranians, I think, maybe. As for the left, last, I'm sorry.

Quarterly following June, June 26, cash on hand. James Talarico has $23.3 million in cash, spending roughly $40 million on operations organizing, television, digital, et cetera, et cetera. So that's okay. I mean, I like it. I like that we got this clarified because otherwise, what are we going to do? I still want to find out. Where did they take all those ropes that you'd have to climb up and then you'd have to come back down? I mean, that was an exciting time. You never knew who was going to fall, who was going to trip, who was going to happen. And I think that's why we were more resilient. If you have a memory of that, perhaps from another part of the country, love to hear from you, very happy to hear from you, great stuff that's happening. When we come back, I'm also going to break down a couple of other things that I think we need to know about, including but not limited to, the revolution is over. I know I teased it, but the revolution is over. And the leader of the revolution will be, you got to stick around. All right, welcome back. It's the Brett Winterbull Show. Here's one of the things that I wanted to talk about this towards the end of the show, and I think it's an important story, and we should pay close attention to it, because the stuff that comes out of New York, the stuff that comes out of Los Angeles, the stuff that comes out of Seattle, Chicago, wherever, it migrates in a variety of different directions. Property transaction records for New York City are public, but what the far left... controlling City Hall actually is doing now is creating a handy list of wealthy individuals and addresses of their second homes in New York City, which Luigi worshipping left leftists could use to intimidate people from the radical left. This is a dangerous thing that has begun. We didn't have this with Zohran Mamdani. We didn't have anything with Zohran Mamdani. We had none of this. Now, these people are searching addresses, phone numbers. kids schools, whatever it's going to be. And these folks are deciding whether or not they're going to terrorize people because they have money. It's despicable. The curly effect in action is intentional policies designed to make the politically undesirable.

move out, which then becomes easier to consolidate political power. And that is what is happening. Some other, another person had a quote on this. You know who else published the lists, the Nazis. They published lists of Jewish-owned businesses and properties. So the Germans knew who to throw out and illegally take over their homes and businesses. This is what Zohran Mamdani's end game is. This is why I said earlier today three or four times, the revolution is over. The American Revolution is going to be something very different. I know right now you can say whatever you want about Ken Griffin. He's a super wealthy guy, all that sort of stuff. But these progressives, these dangerous people, these are the people who are going to come out and demand your property. Stay nowhere in the tri-state area in New York City. It's terrible. That's going to do it for me. Coming up tomorrow, another great show. Stick around. It's the Brett Wooder Bowl show. Breaking with Brett Jensen is next. Talk to you tomorrow.
