And welcome, it is the Brett Whitable show. This is the hangover kicking it with my good friend. Pete Calliner, I'm holding them hostage. I'm holding them hostage. I don't know what to do about this, Pete. You're going to have to stick around and, you know, kind of just entertain me, okay? And the entirety of the audience as well, it's great to be with you. I'm just here to amuse you? A little bit. That's fair. Look. There's a lot of amusing going on out here. I mean, if you really think about this, like, I had a guy three days ago who wanted to know why they hadn't, and I'm not joking, I'm not joking, Pete Hegseth wanted to know why the straits of Hormuz have never been seen here. It doesn't move. It doesn't go anywhere. Oh, my goodness. It's the straits of more moves. I mean, it's weird. These weird people that are only kind of with a glancing touch with the stuff that we have to deal with here, Pete. So, you know, back in my day. Yes, sir. And probably back in your day as well. We're about the same age. Yeah, about the same age. Like, before the internet. Yes. We all knew that there was that crazy guy that lived down the street. Always, yes. Right. And that wasn't always maybe fair. Like sometimes people in the neighborhood would make an assessment of a man's craziness based simply on outward appearance or behavior. Correct. Okay. So that wasn't always a very nice thing, right? To maybe ascribe craziness to the odd person. Okay. Fair enough. I seed all of that. Yes. However, some of those people were really crazy, right? Sure. So not everybody was being misidentified as crazy. They were really crazy. And then comes the internet. And you realize that it's not just that one guy down the street. It's the whole street. Everybody is a little crazy about something. It is. You just didn't know it because you weren't talking to everybody on the street all the time. You know, that's an interesting thing that you've just kind of swerved into. Are you amused? Am I fulfilling my obligation? You're doing it. You're doing a great job. Okay. Do you remember, I mean, you and I were sort of close at the same age? Yes, I am much, much younger. True. It is true. Yes. Do you remember the first time that you went on the Internet? Like, do you remember what you looked for the first time you were on the Internet? Did you remember that at any way, shape, or form? Yes. It would have been in college when they had a computer lab set up. Okay. And they gave us all, you know, an email address.edu, you know? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. And the first thing that I went to look up was guitar tab tablature. Really? Yeah, of songs. So I could look, because I was, I was teacher myself to play guitar.

And so I had, you know, a book. And I had purchased some of these other books. And, you know, when you buy the books, they give you the notes. You know, I don't know what it's called, like the actual reading music. But for guitar, they have a thing called tab. And up above the notes, they would give you a little picture of the chords, you know, how to make the chords. Or they would give you a letter above it. And so I wanted to get more songs. So I went on to the interweb. I found, I forget the name of the website, but they, you know, people would submit, you know, hear the songs, lyrics, and then the chord progressions so you could learn, so you could teach yourself to play. I still have. And it's been, that would have been, so college would have like early 90s. Right. And I still have probably about 300 pages printed out in a binder of all those songs. Can you go back and play some of them? Yeah, but the callous. I haven't played in so long that I lost the calluses on my fingertips. And so now it hurts. And so it's like I don't want to hurt myself anymore. But if I had time, I would, I mean, I had the guitar. It's set up right in the studio there. I could pick it up and play it, but it wouldn't sound good. Right. So, so like that's the, that's the, that's the, what was yours? Oh, well, what? I mean, if you could say, if you could say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, I could, I could, I could do it. So. Before I was a producer at Rush, I was in the back office at working with Rush and working with, you know, Kit Carson and all those folks. And Kit Carson actually said, hey, go look into this, go in this room. So this would have been like 19. Like a skiff. You're going into a skiff. Right. Yeah. So he, he, he, he, um, He goes, go in this room and look at, look at what they're doing in that room. And I went in the room and I'm like, oh, it's a TV. And he goes, it's not a TV. He goes, it's the internet. And we were using it for research and stuff like that. And then we had a wise guy who was short-lived for the job who discovered porn. Oh my gosh. And. But the problem with that was, and I'm not, this is not. I mean, obviously you're looking at porn on a company website besides that being a problem. I guess like he put up a picture and said, hey, go look at this. This is some kind of a lead. And we went in there and it was a scantily clad person. I don't remember if it was a male or a female. But they said, look at that. And the guy says, I think I dated him.

Well, so here's the thing, though. It's weird, though. The payoff on that office joke that that guy that your colleagues set up, that had to have taken probably a good 10, 15 minutes for that photo to load, right, for that website picture to load. That's how long it took. So here's another one. When I went to work at a tiny little radio station, and we had a website. And so this was like, now this was, you know, quite advanced. This is like five years later. Quite advanced. We have our own website now. But we couldn't do anything on the website ourselves. So we had to have a webmaster. Remember those guys? Oh, the webmaster. The webmaster. We had to have a webmaster. Yeah, yeah. Weirdos. All total weirdos. And so we would have to, at the end of the night, and I was like doing all of the morning show prep for the morning show for their news stories and stuff. So I had to write all my scripts out and pull all the audio cuts. put it all, and stack it all up in a big pile for the morning news anchor. Then I would have to take all of my scripts. Oh my gosh. Email them to the webmaster. And then he would put the scripts onto the website on a single page. So it would just be like, you went to the website. There was just like a landing page with nothing on it except like four stories that I had written. And they're just like, you know, five sentences apiece. That's amazing. Yeah. That was the, that was the high. And it was all dial up too. Wow. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, all of that. That was the guy that I was talking about. But anyway. That's terrible. Well, you know what? Did he get fired for that joke? No, he didn't get fired with a joke. Oh. It was, it was, it was, he got to let go for something else. He, yeah. Yeah, he decided he wanted to go and sell door-to-door some product. I don't remember what it was, but he was, so he was, that's a, that's a, that's a move up. It's like a, from radio. Sort of. Going door-to-door sales, it's a step up. Oh, good for him. Yeah. Look, I just, I just held on. I just held on and surfed it and that's what I did. I mean, all I did was just say, okay, this is something. You know, because it was really hard because you could never find. Who knew what a cash was, right? You gotta go get the... Oh, yeah, yeah, the history and all that. And you would have these people, they'd come into these... Because this is New York City. They would come in, and they'd be like, you wouldn't believe what I just saw in this thing here. This is crazy. Not that company, but it was a different company. But that was a very interesting time. And remember... This is how everybody learned. You went and sat in chat rooms and stuff and you were, tell me about trout. Tell me about fish. Tell me about, you know, whatever it's going to be. What are you wearing? Yeah, all of it. No, no. That, you see, about fish. Tell me about, you know, whatever it's going to be fish. What are you wearing? Yeah, all of it. No. No. That, you see, I think that's where we have to. Hey, was your first internet? Did it come on a CD? Oh, yeah. Yeah, AOL just mailed everybody internet. 7,000 hours. And don't you dare pick up the phone because you're going to mess it all up. Right. And that was, God, that was so, I would love to go back one day.

and try to navigate that world? I want to see what our proficiency would be. You know what it was like back then? I'm just thinking of this analogy. So one of the things I did, I had read about this when I was a long time ago, I was in debt, I was trying to get out of debt. And one of the tips was take your credit cards and put them in a bowl of water and freeze it. Whoa. And so this way you're not going to use it. unless you defrost the bowl of water. And so while it's defrosting, you really have to think, do I want to do this? Do I want to make this purchase? How badly do I really need that credit card, right? That was the old internet. That was the original iteration of the internet. It's like, it's going to, like, I can't use the phone. I'm going to have to wait like 12 minutes for this thing to boot up. And then it's like every search takes half an hour. If I want to print, it's going to be another half hour. Like all of these things, you really had to want it, you know? Yes. And so it forced us to, you know, go outside and go to bars. That's true. And you know what? All you had to do was just pick up the bowl and get the numbers off of it because unless it was a colored... Oh, yeah, it was opaque. You couldn't see through it. Oh, opaque. Come on, man. That's a rookie movie. Ha ha. Pete, it's been it's been too long. We'll elongate it next week. How about what do you say with that? Do not cave into the public shaming that one John Seward is trying to try to get us to make good on all of the non. the non-hangover dates i'll tell you what john me and pete will come to your house and we'll be there for five days how about that and and you'll want us out of it that's an idea oh you never know pete enjoy the weekend brother you too brother thanks so much i appreciate it that's pete calendar i'm brett wooderble

Welcome back. It's the Brett Wooderbill Show. It's good to be with you. You know what's great? Whenever we get into different sort of iterations of stories and things like that, you always get some very interesting people who might be listening out there, who then suddenly decide, oh, you know what? I remember that. I remember that kind of thing. Pete and I, you're going back and forth with having our first experiences with... You know, being used, using the burgeoning sort of stuff that we had to try to figure out during our own time in growing up. And I love this quote that came out from Randy. Randy says, I'm loving this. In the 90s, I worked in the semiconductor industry in Los Angeles. It was a great time. I loved. Netscape and he checked out the movie Valley of the Boom and you'll love it. I remember that and you know what's really cool? It was really funny about that. Back when Y2K was supposed to blow everything up, I remember being put on alert working at premier, at the premier, you know, a place that I was working at. And we had to stay sober all night to make sure that nobody was. going to blow up or things would not go badly. I mean, it was really incredible. If you think that, like, that's an analog thing that you remember that. would not necessarily translate in this day and age where people would say, okay, wait, something crashed, something did this, something did that. But the reality is, we had to all be awake and worried and all the kind of stuff and the world was going to come to an end and all this sort of stuff. But you know what was cool. And like, One o'clock in the morning, when the coast was clear, you were able to go and, you know, do the fun stuff. It was actually, it was really cool. Todd also said, ha. AOL keywords, yes, AOL keywords. That was like the whole thing when you think about all this kind of thing and stuff. And I just love this because it's not just going back in time. It's not just going back in time and saying, hey, you know what? I remember back in my day, yada, yada, yada, yada. No, this was that, this was that melding. You know, I worked with a company at one time.

called OnRamp. And do you know what OnRamp was? On Ramp was Adam Curry, who had been a famous guy on MTV. And that was the original going on commercial version of putting stuff up into the atmosphere where you would be able to... 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 Tacoma, 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. It means driving for less, with efficient hybrid options available, extending your overall driving range and delivering great MPGs, meaning bigger savings at the pump without sacrificing power. And it means trading for more. The Tacoma and Tundra are ranked number one and number two in resale value over all vehicles, according to Kelly Boo Book, which can mean thousands more than average right back in your pocket when it's time to trade in. That's Toyota affordability. Buy smart, drive for less, and trade for more. Shop Toyota.com or your local dealer for deals and details. Vehicles projected resale value is specific to the 2026 model year. For more information, visit Kelly Blue Books, KB.com. Toyota brand average resale value is 53% versus the average vehicle at 45%. Toyota, let's go places. Listen up on a very far away place where you would be able to hear Dutch music and stuff like that. It was a really interesting time. And I wonder, How much stuff that we have forgotten about that should be in so many ways. Like there should be a place where we can go. and look at all the cool stuff in some sort of a museum. And I know that they have them spread around, but it would be a really cool thing to see. I just really, it's so interesting when you start to go back in your mind's eye and you try to figure this kind of stuff out.

All right, welcome back. It's the Brett Wooderbill Show. It's great to be with you. One of the things that I want to share with you, you may have heard this already. I don't know if you've heard it in its entirety, but there's a very important, and I think it's a powerful commentary that has been going around with Tim Sheehe. Tim Sheehe is a senator from the great state of Montana, and he is a guy. who has seen a lot. He encapsulates something so incredible in a way that is poignant, sad, and angering. And I want to warn you, you may not want to listen to all of this. because of the angering that you're going to experience. But this guy, in Tim Sheehe, I think you're seeing a potential vice president of the United States. This man is resolved. And this man wants to make our country be as strong as it possibly can. And I want you to hear this. Now, if you've got... Kids in the car, people that may be sensitive to stuff. You may not want to listen to it, but you need to hear this. Cut number one. The senator from Montana. Thank you, Mr. President. Yesterday we saw the President of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base. presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served. And that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone. And that process happens beginning in the war zone through Dover to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I participated in many of those ceremonies myself to include carrying friends of mine off the plane. One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian EFP. This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. And they don't just say it, they actually do it. And they've been doing it for 47 years. This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that was begun by a radical, lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation. 47 years ago, took it over with brutality, force, and savagery. And the second they took it over, they didn't free their people. They didn't unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges. They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world. And that is exactly what they have been doing. They don't just say it and talk about it. You don't have to believe what they say. You can simply watch what they've done.

They have attacked families, women, children, innocent people. They don't just attack them and kill them. They rape them. They skin them alive on camera. They celebrate it. They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country. And they do it for fun. And they pay them money to do it. And they're heroes to that nation. They've done it to friends of mine. They've done it to families who've been in this chamber. And the fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead. They want all of you dead. They want all of us dead. They don't want us to disappear with a snap of a finger. They want us to be raped, burned alive, and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7th. That's what they want to happen from Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami. They want this country turned into a burning husk of its former self. And you don't have to theorize that. That's what they do from the 1983 barracks bombing, where 280 Marines were vaporized in a morning. From USS Cole, the Kili Laurel, to every terrorist attack, from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, these are not humanitarian freedom organizations. They are death-dealing cults, and they want all of us to die brutal deaths. William Buckley was abducted in 1985, an American military officer. He was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war. who were captured. They were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists so they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered. Power drills through their brains. This is in Iraq. These are families that have dealt with this and they've never gotten a single dime. These families have never gotten restitution and not a single president has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him. Love his policies. Hate ice, love ice, whatever. There's never been a single president. who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attack after attack after attack all over the world. And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It's a global radical ideology. And we've been fighting it for half a century. We didn't start this war. We did not, but we will finish it. And Forever Wars are not popular than anybody these days. Both sides of that I love to attack our Forever Wars. And I can promise you being someone, overseas wearing the uniform, when you're fighting for your country, you don't care what parties in office, but you're fighting to defend your country. You turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you're failing, that you've failed every goal of the war. That's what I just heard. Last time I checked, we've wiped these bickers out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits, that's not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation and collapse because they deserve it. So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Whatever is politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook, think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon who volunteered to defend our country and our way of life.

Because they are there defending us and a just war. Because we did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generations of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary. Where exactly do you see the line between good and evil? And it could be good and evil in any possible iteration. You see somebody who's stealing, somebody who's assaulting somebody, somebody who is doing horrible things, and nobody wants to step up, nobody wants to stop them, nobody wants to do any of that sort of stuff. Where is the line between good and evil and which part? of the line are you willing to sacrifice it's it's just a question and i would love to hear your perspective on what you just heard with tim she he

Welcome back. It's the Brett Wooderbill Show. Everything is fair game, by the way, today. If you wish to opine, you can certainly do it. Now, next hour, hour after that, hour after that. No, we're only doing three hours. But it's really good to be with you guys and spending time with a very smart audience. A lot of people having respect for what you just heard from Tim Sheehe. A lot of stuff coming out in reaction. What a strong statement, and he is correct. It is not a religion. It is an ideology of death and destruction. Let's see, Brett. The B-W, the B-T-W, good and evil, let your eyes be your yes and let you be no. Okay, I'll do that, Steve. I appreciate that piece of advice. Brenda says, Brett, this guy should be our next president. These Democrats better start listening. You know, there's a lot of people. who don't ever decide whether or not they want to run for office. They have a calling maybe. They want to just do some service for different reasons. And then they go away. I mean, there's a whole lot of people who they go in there and they do their bit and then they leave. And then there's the other group of people who are. people who are spending time trying to kind of gussy it up and make you look like you're doing a great thing. I was watching, I don't know. Because I never know who's watching cable TV at any point in time. But when I'm setting up my studio, when I'm doing all the stuff with the show, I try to go through all the different channels. The ones that I like, the ones I don't like, I feel like it needs to be something where we can kind of get a level playing field there. And I watched. I mean, this was remarkable. So Pete Buttigieg was on Fox with Sandra. And they were talking all about what the president is doing wrong, what the president is doing not so wrong, all that sort of stuff. But Pete Buttigieg. He was flinty. He was flinty. He was somebody that wasn't like talking the way regular people talk. And all he wanted to do was try to do insults on President Trump. Now, Pete Buttigieg, who told us in that interview that he served in the military.

The commander in chief is the commander in chief. No matter who the commander in chief is, it's the commander in chief. And I wouldn't be doing insult stuff like this, especially, you know, so close to the ability of us to, you know, figure out what's got to happen next. I do believe, I do believe if we end up. in a massive shooting war with the Iranians, I think they're going to probably hold off, I'm guessing, I'm guessing, that they're going to be holding off until the next new moon. because you want to have as much concealment as you can. And I'm wondering if that's not what the plan is going to be. And I shouldn't probably have said that on the air. But I think there's a whole lot of people who understand and realize exactly what's going on there. But when you think about the president of the United States, and, you know, I don't hate presidents. I try to. figure out what they're trying to do and then you just kind of got to deal with it however it's going to be Jimmy Carter Jerry Ford Ronald Reagan George Bush George Bush you know any of these people who are in that office and as much as you may not like them They are the commanders in chief. I don't wake up in the morning and say, I hope this president fails. I hope this president has a crisis. I hope this kind of stuff. I would never say that. Why would we want to cut off our nose to spite our face? It's a terrible thing to do. But there are people who wake up their feet hit the floor. I'm talking to you. Mr. Scarborough. And you just want to start pummeling. It's bizarre. I've got a clip. I'm not going to play it this time, but I'm going to play it in the next hour. You wouldn't believe with Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is just getting goofy. He doesn't make any sense. And now he's trying to put people around him that make him look like he's... He's all that with a bag of chips. And unfortunately, this guy, this guy has got to go back home to New York and just hang out a shingle and help, you know, people to get their stuff. He's well beyond where he should be in terms of the way we're going. And Chuck Schumer just, he just can't, he just can't quit it. That's the problem. All right, that's another great hour. Coming up, we got two more great hours. Everything is fair game. If you want to open a question, if you want to ask me anything, you can do it. A lot of stuff we're still going to play.

I, you know what, I'm going to go right to this. I'm going to go right to this. Have you guys heard the Roy Cooper commercial? Have you guys, anybody? Anybody out there heard the Roy Cooper commercial? Seeding the commercial? I'm going to play it for you right now. We need this right now. Roy Cooper with a really goofy ad. Cut number two, Nick, play it. Go. Make stuff cost less. Roy Cooper's new slogan. And let's make stuff costs less. Too bad as record says the opposite. Under Cooper, single family home costs in North Carolina skyrocketed 85%. That's $175,000 more per home. Health care? Highest in the nation when he left office. North Carolina can't afford six more years of Roy Cooper making stuff cost more. Making stuff cost less. That's what they're trying to do. All right. I'm going to take a totally neutral position on this argument here, okay? For the purposes of experimenting. How many senators are in the Senate? Anybody know? Anybody, anybody know, just shout it out. How many senators are in the Senate? It's 100, right? Isn't it 100? Last I checked, it's 100. So, fire this clip again. I just want like the first. Uh, 10 seconds of it. Go ahead. Just cut number two, please go. Make stuff cost less. Roy Cooper's new slogan. And let's make stuff cost less. Okay, stop right there. Stop right there. First of all, he's trying to do this, aw shucks, make things cost less. Okay. I'm going to take up your mantle. Governor Cooper, and I'm going to ask you how you make stuff cost less. So I want you to walk into a pro shop and tell me how you're going to make stuff cost less. Like, you're going to have these, one of those things that they put, it doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter. You're in the pro shop. You're not answering any questions, especially about all the murderers that got sprung. I mean, so that's okay. But why are you going to try to make this cost less? How do you make this cost less? This just doesn't make any sense to me. So he says that that's what he's going to do. He would be one. of 100 who would have the ability to jawbone the pro shop or when you're getting into your SUV to not answer any questions. And how is that then going to make people feel like they've got more money in their pocket? The reality is it's not one senator.

I mean, I'll extrapolate it from one senator to 535 people in the House in the Senate. How are you going to get the prices down? The prices do not go down because you're a senator. The prices do not go down because you're a congressperson. The prices go down because of elasticity. That's what this is. And now this guy, that's his, that's his selling pitch. Roy, me, Roy Cooper, me, Roy Cooper, me get stuff cheap. No, it doesn't, it's not going to work. Okay, there may be one thing he can get cheap. He might be able to get this cheap. He might be able to get that, uh, batch of lettuce that I saw that was out on the highway a couple of a couple hours ago. It was an abandoned, you know, sort of box that had greenery in it. And maybe that, you might be able to get the price down on that. I wouldn't eat it. But this is crazy. This is wacky. What kind of an ad is this? It's like not even real. Fire this one up for me. I'm going to play the entirety. Number two, Roy Cooper, Goofy Ad. Go for it now, please. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

North Carolina can't afford six more years of Roy Cooper making stuff cost more. Nick, in this break, I'm just going to, I'm going to do it right up with you. On this next break, Nick, I need you to make stuff cost less. And if you cannot make it cost less coming back, I don't know what I'm going to do. I might throw a nutty. I might just be like, you know what? If I can't get this, Nick, I mean, you got to figure out how you can shave it off there a little bit. Okay? And you got to make this cost less. Less. I need you to cut.

that much more so that we can just start cutting cost less. Where do we go for that? I don't even know. It doesn't even feel like real grammar. It looks like something totally different. Somebody help me. I need you to interpret what he's saying. I'll take exactly four calls. Four calls on this. If you want to try to explain it to me, because I'm telling you right now, me no like cost less. I don't know. It's weird. Let this breathe for a minute here, Nick. Okay, just let it breathe. Get everybody hyped up. Making things that are going to cost less.

That's what you got to do. I mean, come on. I'm always home. Call me anytime. Just ready to say, Larry Cooper, you're going to make it all this now. I mean, come on. Dirty deeds. Dirty deeds. Get cost less. Dirty deeds. That's it. He's got it. He's got the ad right there. There's that ad. You've got it right. He's got it blowing it up right here. I'm watching the people seeing all of this. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Jonathan says, Brett, I find it somewhat ironic that conservative media wants to rake Roy Cooper over the coals for keeping home prices high. When Donald Trump was bragging six months ago about how he wanted to keep home prices high to protect people's investments in their homes. Well, yeah, that's very possible. But we don't, but you don't have a really good leg to step on when you're doing with this because Roy Cooper says make them get cheaper. How? How does that happen? Doesn't make any sense to me. Roy Cooper should just advertise for Amazon and Walmart as a campaign ad, says Yeshua. Yeah, that's very possible. Very possible. Stanley, what doesn't make sense is why Roy Cooper was governor for eight years and one of one as opposed to one of 100. See, that's right. It's math. It's mathematics. And he knew. How to make prices go down. What was he waiting for on the share with the secret? I don't know. Or did it come to him from a premonition when he began running to be a senator and it's lucky us. I don't know. Again, this is difficult. But Roy Cooper, he's got that plan. That plan is going to be put into effect. We hope it works. I hope the prices come down. I think it would be very interesting to see how we would get rid of those prices. I'm all for saving money. I'm all for it. If we can do it and you can do it and I can do it, I think that's pretty good. So that's enough with the former governor. Which is okay. I mean, it's all right. Do you think, okay, I got to ask one last question. Do you think that the current governor might be able to give him any advice from the other governor? See, I just don't know. I mean, I, look, you're going to vote? You vote how you want to vote. Do your thing. I totally love it. It's great. That's how it should be. And, you know, just do what you're, just do what you're doing out there. Did you guys see what happened in Parchin? Anybody know about Parchin? The Parchan military complex is a sprawling, sensitive Iranian military site.

located about 20 miles away southwest of Tehran. It's heavily linked to the Iranian missile production and covert nuclear weapons development programs, including explosive testing, the site has been frequently the target. of Israeli and U.S. strikes. And earlier today, I guess it would be earlier last night, because it was daytime when it was dark here, you had a bunch of stuff going off. And I'm talking about actual stuff that was blowing up. And a little bit of this storyline goes like this. Nuclear and explosives research, the complex houses called Tallygon 2 facility, which international observers and intelligence agencies associate with the experiments and explosives. Testing related to nuclear weaponization. That's one part of this phase. The second one is recent airstrikes and damage. The site suffered extensive damage in October of 2024. Following further back 2025, March of 26, Iran has heavily fortified. the area burying tunnels, entrances, and encasing the taligand to facility in a thick soil, covered, concrete shield to prevent future aerial penetration. And then, of course, you've got... missile development that's been taking uh taking time beyond nuclear related research the broader complex operates facilities for the producing of ammunition solid rocket motors and ballistic missiles so when you see this stuff that's on fire you can you can go search it out You'll see that and you'll see what you got, man. I mean, it's a really scary kind of weird thing. Jeff, welcome to the program. What's on your mind, Jeff? Hey, Brett. Hello. I do not take one word of anything that Cooper says is truth, first off. The only way that he could lower prices, I don't know if you've had any economics training or not, you may remember the old supply and demand graphs and price and cost graphs. Sure. The only way you're going to lower prices is one, either to increase productivity, which means in his case, he'd have to work for reducing the...

Excuse me for a second. That's okay. He would have to work to reduce all of the regulations, all of the fees that those include. And, of course, I don't think any Democrat would do that. or he'd have to lower taxes to help lower the cost. And I don't think any Democrat would do that also. So basically he's lying through his teeth. Well, and again, he's one of 100, right, if he gets elected, hypothetically. He's one of 100, which means he doesn't have a whole lot of power to do what he's trying to do. Well, he could introduce a bill, but I don't think the other 49 Democrats would go along with him. That's right. Republicans. Right. That's good stuff. Thanks so much for calling in today. That's a really great perspective, and I love it. All right, welcome back.

I want you to hear something here. We're going to do a double slam here, okay? I want you to hear Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is very upset that we're still talking about the PAYGO and all this kind of stuff and the things that you've got to do. Listen to Chuck Schumer. This is really quite something. Cut number six, it's Chuck Schumer and Brian Shats. Brian Shats. He's standing next to Chuck Schumer, but he's almost totally out of the frame telling me that he doesn't really want to be near Chuck Schumer. Cut number six, go. It's about voter registration. It makes it, it allows ice. to kick tens of billions of people off the rolls, off the rolls, and they don't tell them until election day, and you show up and you say, you're not registered anymore, you're not registered here, you're not on the rolls. And they say, I didn't know that. This is a bill that destroys the country, and it is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them. purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in a algorithm put together by ICE, put together by Doge and Elon Musk. It's an outrage. And that's why so many people don't want to pass it. We're not even doing Doge anymore. There's no Doge? Chuck Schumer, there's no Doge. Brian Schatz is sitting there and he's like, what? What's he talking about? It's... It's really cray-cray. I don't understand any of this. But since he did, since he basically invoked Elon Musk, this is a beautiful, this is a beautiful back and forth with this very progressive person trying to interview Elon Musk. And Elon Musk... You can't rattle this guy. It's incredible. Cut number seven, Elon Musk defending normal people. Go. You support not just the populist right, but the far right. In fact, very fringe parties in some countries. No, I support the normal people. Okay. What do you call the far right? Falsely. You think is the normal person? Okay. Yes. Literally, you could go back 10 or 15 years, and these policies were completely normal. In fact, one of the tricks that I think is funny. One of the quite funny is to like take a speech from Obama and Hillary and then go to someone who's sort of... you know, on the sort of what I call the lunatic left and say, what do you think of the speech by Trump? Like, oh, wow, he's the worst person ever. Actually, that was a speech by Obama. Or actually, that was a speech by Hillary.

I agree. No, I agree that the center of gravity in this country has shifted, certainly the Democratic Party, shifted to the left. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people like Rupert Lowe. I'm talking about people. It's actually just normal people. It's just normal people. And here are the principles. And tell me, which are these sound terrible? That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which are those three are far right fringe? I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense. Please keep this part in. We'll keep all of this in, but let me, let me. Don't cut this part. Okay. One of the greatest things that you can use, if you get into an argument with somebody, okay, is what Elon Musk just did. He uses the phrase normal people. He's defending normal people. And if you get the right kind of hysteric coming at you and you say, look, I'm just over here with the regular people, with the normal people, with the normal regular people. People immediately, you could try this. Don't do it like too, you know, the extreme. But if you get into like a little bit of a heated kind of conversation. And you say, hey, so like why, how come you don't, why don't you like normal people? Why don't you like regular people? What's wrong with regular people? And that, I'm telling you, it sets it off like nothing else. Because they think when you say, I'm just with the normal people, they immediately will look at you and say, Well, I'm a normal person. And you go, yeah, sure, that's great. I'm happy that you are. But it gets in their head. And I think it's funny because when you look at Elon Musk, what's he doing? He's saying, listen, I'm supporting the regular people. What he means is just your average working person, a person that has value. A person that isn't trying to be radical and burn buildings down or things like that. There's a whole lot of people that you will never hear from in the entirety of their life. And this is the guy. Elon Musk, the super wealthy guy, is encouraging these people to continuously say, hey, regular people, normal people. I'm just with the normal people. It's amazing. It is an absolutely amazing thing. Try it at Thanksgiving. But don't go with too heavy of a hand. But you try that at Thanksgiving and you go, hey, look, can I have the mashed potatoes? Thank you very much. You know, I love these normal people, just these regular people who just love our country. That'll set it off.

Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer would come back and say, I can't believe that you gave me. My glasses are all the way down under my chin now. Look at this. This is so bad. You guys, you heard how wound up he was. Chuck Schumer was wound up with Brian Schatz. And Brian Chats is trying to escape. He's like, I got to get out of here. This guy is really just, I don't know what he's doing. He can't even make a cheeseburger. All right, it's way too early to go thinking about this, but I got a question for you. The Emerson poll has come out. JD Vance and Marco Rubio are tied for 2028. GOP faces tough midterms, obviously about that. We all understand that in a big way. But a new Emerson College polling center survey suggests Vice President JD Vance standing among The Republican voters has weakened considerably opening the door for a major primary fight in 2028. Now, it's way too early to actually look at this kind of stuff because you don't know who's really going to go and how they're going to go and what it's going to be. But the poll also found from Democrats that there is a significant advantage. On the 26th generic congressional ballot, raising fresh questions about the GOP's political outlook heading into the midterm elections. The July 19 and 20 national survey of 1,100 likely voters. That's 1,100 voters. Out of... Like 400 million people in the country. Anyways, looks like the Democrats are leading Republicans by 11 points. All right. Still got time. See how it goes. The 11 point gap is up dramatically from a six point lead that Democrats held in January. But you got to understand something here. Got to understand something. With these wackos that are running around with Zohran Mamdani, with Hasan Piker, with all these weirdos, you really think that it's going to be like super tight like that? Or super blowout like that? Come on. Emerson, executive, director, Spencer Kimball.

said the Democratic Party advantage is driven largely by women voters who favor the Democrat candidates by a 27% margin, 56% to 39% while men are even more divided. Well, okay. So we know who's going to be the person that's going to get nominated to be the president of the United States. And it's going to be the third time. The third time. You know who it's going to be? Do you know who it's going to be? Three times. She's going to get that tick. She's going to be able to finally cement that wall. That's right. You know who I'm talking about. One. former vice president in Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, they're ready to coronate her already for the election. And I think it's going to be interesting. I think it's going to be fascinating. But you've got a bunch of other people who are part of this, right? You got JD Vance receiving 39% of support among the Republican primary voters, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is following close behind with 38%. Then you got Florida. Coming out of there, Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump Jr. each receiving 5% and 9% undecided. I mean, this is going to be really interesting. This is where you get going and where you get good. Beyond the electoral politics. Emerson College found that 28% of voters now identify, quote, threats to democracy as the nation's top issue. surpassing the economy at 27%. So the economy at 27% doesn't rate anymore. So we don't have to worry about the economy anymore because the 28% of voters that identify threats to democracy, that's going to subsume them, right? And immigration, nobody cares about that anymore. And health care, nobody cares about that anymore. I'm being facetious. What is the threats to democracy? I can tell you what the threat of democracy is. Take a look at Zohran Mamdani. Look at Zohran Mamdani. Zohran Mamdani's the guy that is the guy. And we'll see what happens. You just never know. It is so far away. It is so incredible.

Richard says, love you, man, but the way you're reading to us is painful and distracting. Okay, Richard. Thank you, Richard. I appreciate that. I am willing to take the credit, and I appreciate that very, very much, Richard. I take it in the spirit in which you have offered it up to me. that what I desire. Welcome back. Good to be with you. Taking a look at some of the other big stories that are out there moving. And by the way, if you want to raise an issue, if you want to raise a glass, you can do whatever you want, one of the things that I think is very interesting. is how we're starting to see the coalition of the folks that are going to have to do this fight. And it's obvious that we're going to get in a fight here. We're getting in a massive fight. The Israelis want to get a part of this. Other countries want to be a part of this. And it's making it abundantly clear. And I mean abundantly clear that we've got a tough fight that we're going to have to try to endure. As I played earlier for you on the first hour, we had that incredible speech that was given by Tim Shea he. And that guy. That guy understands exactly what's going on. But we have to be ready for something else entirely at the same time. And this is what makes me feel uneasy. I don't believe that the United States of America is going to go anywhere in terms of us having a problem. But when you have the biggest... city in the united states in new york city and it is i'm sorry we have a mayor who does not share our values can i just say that Is it wrong of me to say that Zohran Mamdani does not share American values? I don't think he does. And I was doing some research. Okay. And one of the things that I came across was we've kind of been here before. In the 1970s, you had a group of people. who didn't much like the city of New York, who wanted to thrash the city of New York, who wanted to do all that kind of stuff. But when you sit back here and you see people being...

harmed on the streets of New York City because you have a rabble rouser who is a mayor in New York City who wants to spend all of his time stealing people's property and on top of that chasing the Jews out of New York City. It's insane. This is something that is just beyond the pale. And watching Zohran Mamdani this whole week, the entirety of this week, talking about how it's the Jews. You've got to stop the Jews, the Jews, the Jews, the Jews. And he decides now he's going to go after Benjamin Netanyahu. Now I'm going to tell you something right now. Benjamin Netanyahu is nobody's, you know, fool, number one. Number two, this guy is not going to play games. I would bet 10%, 15%, that Benjamin Netanyahu is probably going to go show up to Zohran Mamdani's office and say, what's your problem? What is your problem? See, this guy doesn't know how to move across a very important place in the city of New York. The city of New York is unbelievable. You may not like the politics. You may not like the liberalism. You may not like the criminality. You may not like any of that sort of stuff. And I don't like almost all of that stuff. That stuff that I don't like. But the reality is, this guy is playing with dynamite. You just saw two people getting stabbed on a sidewalk to yesterday. And it's always a lone nut. You ever notice this? Every time these people get ginned up, every time these people do what they want to try to do, they say, oh, he's got mental issues. Yeah, it's mental issues. That's what it is. Beginning of this week, Monday, what did you see? You saw these dopes going out and lighten fires because of ice. Because they're trying to take the ice people and get them sent some other place. This is a dangerous, dangerous, you know, keg of whatever it's going to be. And it's awful. And I don't know how we're going to have to get through this. But I can tell you this. We've seen this before. Oh, what do you mean we've seen this before? The biggest and the most... notorious tyrant in Africa was birthed from Uganda. History will show you in Edie Amin, who ruled as a brutal military dictator from 1971 to 1979, often called the Butcher of Uganda. His violent... eight-year regime caused the deaths of an estimated 100,000 to 500,000 civilians. And what do we see now? We see the bright light coming in to New York City. Don't we? Don't we? Where is the mayor of Chicago? Where is the mayor of New York City?

Where did he grow up? He grew up in Uganda. And it feels to me like this guy's trying to restoke this. And I think this is a terrible thing. I mean, you look at all of this. This is a terrible thing that we're seeing. And all this guy wants to do is divide people. He doesn't want to build people up. He doesn't want to tell people that they can do great things. 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. It means driving for less with hybrid and plug-in hybrid options across the lineup, delivering great MPGs. And it means trading for more. Toyota is known for building long-lasting vehicles, meaning your car will hold its value for years to come. Shop toyota.com to find out more. Toyota, let's go places. People that are a danger right now, and I'll tell you this, I'll give it about a 20% chance that this guy... that this guy in Zohran Mamdani is going to end up, and I'm just telling you this right now, I think he's going to get indicted. Because the city of New York is not going to put it up for that long. This is a serious and important place to do commerce, to do the stuff that you want to do, to be able to live in your pet of tears or any of that sort of stuff. But I'm telling you this right now, this guy does not understand. does not understand how the powers work. And he ought to start thinking about trying to be a conciliatory person and not a person that wants to go out there and just light fires. All right. So. I know this cannot happen. I know this cannot happen. By the way, it's a Brett Wooderbill show. Good to be with you. I know that this cannot happen, but it's a pretty good take from Anthony. Anthony says, the way the DNC is going, I wouldn't be surprised to see an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Zohran Mamdani ticket in 2028. They would love to do that, but because he's not a naturalized citizen he couldn't do it but that's a really good idea i think we should push for that i think we should put i think i think we should absolutely push for all of that sort of stuff um Here's also another comment that he gave us, and I think it's a very worthwhile one. Don't disagree with you at Zohran Mamdani, but NYC was already dumb enough to be swindled into electing him. I don't think that they will be willing to press anything against him and deal with the embarrassment having to admit that they were taken. Very true. But you know what?

Think about the terrible, terrible people who are governors, who are mayors, who are in these different sort of positions of power. And they just, they go in there and they check the box every day. They get their paycheck. They do what they're doing. I mean, for goodness sakes, can you think about? And I'm not being, I'm not trying to be overly anxious about this. But think about how the big city schools all around the country here in Charlotte and around the country. Think about all the stuff and the chicanery that goes on there and people, they still get to stay. You know, it's, I would. If I had the money that Elon Musk had, okay, or even a half of it or a tenth of it, I would institute a, we're going to go whole hog trying to figure out how we can get corruption out at every possible level. Now, it's not possible. You can't do it. You got to catch it while you can, but that's a really difficult thing. And I mean, if I were to posit an idea, the posit that I would give to people would be, we're going to give you incredible abilities to wring out all of the crooked stuff that is going on. And we're going to give you not 10%, not 30%, we're going to give you 55% of the money that you go and find it. We're going to give you 55% of that money that you got. And you could turn that into a cottage effort. People would be all about it. But they also have to go to jail, not to people who are disclosing it. But the people who are the problem folks, they got to go to jail. I don't understand why. These people just want to go to, don't want to go to jail. Yes, he is a naturalized citizen as of 2018, but he can't run for the presidency of the United States, Trevor. That's what I was trying to tell you. He was a naturalized citizen, but he's not born in the United States. And so he cannot be the president of the United States. That's the difficult thing that you're dealing with. Also, we have this, because I think this is also very interesting. When you're looking at the way that our people are looking at the direction of our country, I think there's going to be a red wave that is going to emanate from different areas around the country.

Places that you might not have thought about. And like if you go to Ohio, if you go to any of these other big states, these rock-ribed states, I think you're going to see a heavy pullout coming in there. And it's going to be something that is going to be very, very effective. Because there are people who don't wear their feelings on their sleeves. And we remember all of these people who would suddenly kind of pop up and do different sort of things like that. And one of those things that they're doing right now is they're starting to organize. You're seeing all the stuff with the DSA and all that crazy stuff. You're seeing Hasan Piker. You're seeing all these folks who need to be understood and looked at. But here's the thing. The groundwork. is going to bring things, I do think, to the front. Because if you're able to go out there and you're able to get people moving and you're able to get people not being corrupted. and you're able to go and mix these people around, it's going to be great. Now, I don't know to what degree it's going to be because obviously it's a midterm and then at the end of the midterm cycle, what are we going to do? We're going on to the rest of it. But when you sit back there and you look at this, I think right after you get through that midterm election, right, that's coming up here in a minute, I think you're going to see it is going to be a nuclear thing that's going to be big. And I think it's going to be very important. It's going to be the sort of thing where you're going to be able to get new blood getting in here, looking away from, you know, where we have been. And hopefully, hopefully handling this with the Iranians not pursuing a nuclear weapon, none of that sort of stuff. That, I think, is going to be another important part that everybody ought to be looking at. But unfortunately, you know, it's difficult. Everybody's got a job. Everybody's got to be able to take care of their families. They've got to do all of these things. And unfortunately, when you look at this, You got people that don't necessarily want to spend the time to go and do that sort of stuff. Again, I think there has to be inducements. You've got to figure out a way that these folks are going to be induced into being people who are poll watchers, people who are doing all those sorts of things, and you've got to do it now. I mean, that's really what it comes down to when you look at all of this. Um, more comments from Mitch. Mitch says Zohran Mamdani is the product of a horrible immigration policy and enforcement. He got, he had a lot of money. He could basically go in there and, and, and pull, pull the lever. Uh, can he be a VP? Trevor wants to know, could he be a, no, I don't think he could because you, you, you would have to have the,

ability to assume the next position and that would be a very difficult thing i it's i don't think that would work welcome back it's the brett water bowl show good to be with you what if i told you that uh He says he's winning. Maybe he is. I don't know. Could I play cut number five, please, Nick? Hakeem Jeffries, he says he's winning. I don't know. Cut five, go. Speaker Johnson's almost taken a page out of your book lately and talking about similarly, you know, a team normal versus team crazy as it relates to communism. How do you break through that message? It doesn't seem to be working if you actually look at the reaction of the American people in terms of who was on the verge of taking back control of the House of Representatives. These people are desperate. These people are desperate. I think that kind of cuts both ways, though. Because if you're looking at desperate, you're looking at Chuck Schumer. You're looking at. Brian Shats, you're looking at, of course, Hakeem Jeffries, who goes to sleep every night and goes, please, please, please, let me be the majority leader. I don't think he's going to be the majority leader in the house. I really don't. I just, I feel, I sense. This is what I'm looking at here. I mean, it's really kind of. It's really kind of, it's a tough kind of thing that you got to get in there. Hey, by the way, very quietly, shh, very quietly, we're finding out about the commies in the tent singham. Oh, the tent singham. This is the guy who's that multi, multi, multi, multi billionaire who lives in Spain, who lives in China and is funding all of these folks. Listen to this cut number eight commies in the tent singham go. Investigating the money trail of three far left nonprofits. The issue here is whether a Marxist millionaire based in Shanghai gave them tens of millions of dollars. Lucas Tomlinson on that today out of D.C. What you find out, Lucas? Good morning, Bill. The powerful House and Ways and Means Committee wants to know how three of these left-wing nonprofits obtained more than $39 million from alleged Marxist tech tycoon Neville Singham, when Republican China Hawk calls Singham a traitor and wants the Justice Department who's launched an investigation to lock him up. All of his money comes from China, ties to the Chinese Communist Party, our biggest adversary in America, the Chinese Communist Party. And this guy who is an American, but he lives in China, all of his... What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

Millions of dollars that he's made come from Chinese Communist Party tech companies that are funneling, that are using him. to funnel money to fuel left-wing violence in America. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith has issued subpoenas to three nonprofits called the People's Forum, Breakthrough News, and Tri-Continental Institute for Social Research, all left-wing organizations who Smith says failed to turn over documents voluntarily. Lawmakers are investigating whether shell companies were used to obscure the origin of the money and where existing taxes and laws properly guard against foreign influence. One expert tells Fox, part of the problem is with this opaque world of some nonprofits. The nonprofit says, was really set up to help Americans help other Americans and not have to pay taxes to do that. So I think that the fact that you now have foreign entities that have taken such a significant interest in our nonprofit system should raise the red flag. Now, all the organizations accused deny any wrongdoing and argue this infringes on their First Amendment rights. Recall Whitaker Chambers warnings about communism and his best-selling autobiography witness written in 1952 bill. No, noted. Thank you, Lucas. Love the history. So the thing that I always wonder with these folks that come in from the shadows, why are we not seeing them in an open forum where they have to answer questions from the United States Congress and the Senate? Like, what is the secret for that? Because if you wanted to... you know, really get down to it. You could get him, sing them, bring them in, and say, listen, what's the nature of your business? Remember, he was one of those guys that was spending a whole lot of money when it came to going to Cuba. Remember, he was fronting a lot of the Cuba stuff. A lot of questions are still up in the air. We've got to wait and see what this is going to look like, but... But, you know, this is this is the sort of stuff that people want to go and look into. And I think it's fair game. I think it's a very certain reality. And let's find out what he's got. I'm not saying you've got to steal his money or do anything like that, but, you know, put him, put him in the chair and just ask him questions. I mean, Trump had to do that. A lot of people have had to do that. So what did you see what you're going to do? And where did you get the money? And what is your plan? And what are you trying to go in to do? I mean, other people around the world would be feeling in a totally different place. It's all I can say about that. You know what I'm saying?

question has come in here from uh stand stand's got a great question and i and i really i'm i'm happy that he asked this what i'm wondering this is what stan is a positing what i'm wondering is the case of china is how do you have billionaires in communist countries If what we're told about communism is true, you would think that the allocation of wealth would be more equitable than that. Well, yes. But there's an answer. There are people who are equal, and there are people who are more equal. And the people who are more equal get to keep the money that they get. I mean, you're not really thinking about what you're thinking about, right? Don't even dare. Don't even think about it. I mean, are you sitting there and saying, wait a minute, hold on. Yeah, this guy's got money. Yeah, that money exists only because the benefactors are going to do the thing that you need to do. And that's the problem. You see? You see, as once upon a time, Howard CoSell got on an elevator in New York City. He got an elevator in New York City, and there was an older lady who was in there. And as, you know, Howard CoSell lit a... And incredible, and you know, he didn't smoke the stinkers. He had the incredible stinkers, okay? And he's smoking in the elevator. And the lady looks at Howard CoSell and says, there's no smoking in the elevator, Howard.

And Howard Cosell looked right at her, took two puffs, exhaled it in her direction, and he said, rules are for ordinary people. Now, that's the explanation that you get for this, because rules are for ordinary people. I mean, think about all the people that have run for office. Just in the last, let's go all the way back to 20. Let's go all the way back to, yeah, to 2020. Think about all these people who've run for office. Now, there are people like Eric Swalwell. There are people like Rubin, you are looking at different people who are going and running for office. And then they go away, and then they come back, and then they get more money, and they get all this kind of stuff. When you think about this, when you look at all of this, the rules are for ordinary people, for ordinary people. This is the problem that we have in our country. Why do you think people hated Trump so much? You guys know what the answer is, right? Because he wasn't a Democrat. He ran as a Republican. Had he been a Democrat, he would have been on his fourth term. I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure it would have been the case. But that's the problem. Rules are for ordinary people. And so with that in mind, That's how you get to keep that money as long as you're in the good graces of the CCCCCCC. That's what it is. They are your benefactors. So if, for example, Sigmund, the guy, you know, the guy's, the Sigmund guy, comes in there and he says, listen, you know what we got to do? We got to go and testify in front of this committee because they're subpoenaing me. He's not going to get that money back. That money's going to be gone. And maybe they'll take care of him and his family in that particular way. Because when you play with these gangsters and make no mistake, whether it's... you know, people that you may or may not like. But when you're messing around with gangsters, gangsters make the rules. And that's what happens. And with that in mind, what are you going to do? Unless you're independently wealthy. And I got to tell you, I didn't think that we were going to see LeBron James going to play in Philly. Didn't think that was going to be the case. What is this? What team is he on now? He's on five teams? Has it been five teams, six teams? I got to do the calculus here to figure that out. But when you look at him,

Still in good shape. He's going to be able to play. He doesn't have to, you know, do all the minutes that he's got to do. But he's also got, you know, you got a lot of guys who are going to be right along with them. And they're going to be very effective. And he's going to get him a title. I'm going to tell us. I'll call it right now. He's going to get them a title. That will be that will be the closing moment where he gets to stand there and say, look. Look, unburdened by the Lakers, unburdened by anybody else, I'm going to win this one for me because I deserve it. South Philly in the house. South Philly in the house. I mean, that's what you got. He's going to win. Why? Because he's a guy that wins. You're not going to get anything, you know. Don't worry about it. Just get ready for it. As long as he doesn't get hurt, as long as he doesn't get anything, you know, untoward. As long as that's okay, this is going to be fine. And I got to be honest with you. I mean, when you think about this guy, you want to talk about longevity. Holy cow. I mean, that is, that's going to be quite something to see. When he retires, when he actually retires, when he actually says I'm out, then we'll see. I mean, why wouldn't you, why wouldn't you want to keep going? No problem. Thanks to all of you will be together again on Monday. Enjoy the week. and have a lot of fun. I'm Brent Wooderbold. Thanks so much. Talk to you on Monday.
