A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/25/23
"Were you hardwired into this program Mike? Kinda, yeah. This was an actual hit. The theme song of this was an actual hit on the actual radio in 1976. We have a happy day's cast birthday. That would be Potsy. Potsy is 74. I have no idea how old Ralph Mouth is. Well, they're all in their 70s. It's a weird birthday too because Mark Hamill, virulent liberal Luke Skywalker, he is 72. And you know, you just pause, you stop and you think about the career and what happened. The great Christopher Reeve would have been 71 today. That 1995 horse accident, man, I still haven't scrubbed my brain of that and what heroism and activism. So anyway, big showbiz birthdays. A lot going on in the news. You want to do some new stuff or the book, the article? Well, let's do both. Yeah, the book comes out this week, the Fox News book, but let's start, let's not bury the lead. This Washington Post poll has people in hysteria. I mean, they are running through the streets of DC with their hair on fire. This is kind of unusual. I've never seen a media organization like the Washington Post produce the results of a poll and then trash their own poll and bang on it. Right. It's an outlier. This can't be real. This can't be right. I mean, it's devastating news for Biden if it's to be believed. Now let's face it. Polls are quirky. Here's why polls kind of matter. We kind of, they don't. The reason they don't matter is because Lord knows we saw polling about the big red wave in 2022 and that didn't quite work out for us. So let's remember before we get too excited about polls that they are subject to change dramatically. But here's where it does matter. It does give a person like Donald Trump momentum. There is an appearance of momentum. There is the facade of surging and momentum, which kind of feeds upon itself. It just, it just snowballs. So it's real. I mean, it's very, very, it's very, very palpable. And it becomes even more and more unlikely that anybody's going to overcome him. But we never know. A lot can change. We still could, we still could change. How about the debate Wednesday? I heard you mentioned driving in. I thought I saw Burgum. Yes, you did. I rectified that a couple. He did. He managed to get 3 % in Iowa, 4 % in New Hampshire. Speaking of polls I'm skeptical of, there's one, but bless his heart. He seems like a good guy. It seems to be wasted time. I have a very short appetite for wasted time. How about wasted money? How about the money he's spending on the ads? You know what those ads cost? I know. And they're all, I see, I see six Doug Burgum ads every day on Fox news, speaking of Fox news. Every ad I see on Fox news for Doug Burgum, I think how many families of police officers would that help? Or how many poor people would that feed? Or how much, how much of a border wall would that fund? It's his money. I know he can do what he wants. But what a waste of money. It seems to be. Unless, unless he comes in third in Iowa or New Hampshire, kind of punches a ticket out of the month of January. And I mean, stranger things, well, not many stranger things have happened, but then maybe, maybe he ends up with some, how old is he? Is there running mate buzz? You're not going to have a North Dakota running mate buzz. There's not buzz about him over here at the 7 -11 down the street from the airport. Buzz. There's no Doug Burgum buzz. Here's the conspiracy buzz about the Washington Post poll that you just mentioned is that this is on purpose. They want to show Biden as desperate so that in the liberal and the Democrat ivory towers, they can really get the ball moving on replacing him with somebody who might have a prayer of winning. So that's not without some merit. I mean, you know, they got to be sitting around saying, this is our guy. I mean, last week at the UN, at one point it was utter gibberish. And you're looking, I'm thinking my Lord, that's the commander in chief of the United States of America. So the Democrats have to see this. Mark, no way he'll be the nominee. No way he's going to run. Shall I ask you? I mean, okay. I'll ask you again. It's a flow chart.

A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

Factoring into gas prices is Saudi Arabia cutting oil its supply by one million barrels a day in July. Russia has also limited its output. And according to energy analyst Tom Klose, we're likely to see some increased production somewhere, certainly not before the end the of year from Saudi Arabia. But I think in 2024 right now they're probably planning on increasing output. Some analysts say they expect a barrel of oil to cost $100. Klose says the price of oil has peaked for the year.

The group claims it's been delegitimized in its efforts to restore the team's former name, which many consider to be racist. Newsweek reports the suit was filed in North Dakota federal court on behalf of the Native American Guardians Association against the commanders in key leadership. The suit claims there's a coordinated and willful effort by the franchise to defame the association both verbally and in writing by referring to the government profit organization as fake. Last month, the association issued a letter to the commanders in conjunction with a Change .org petition that called for a name change back to its roots, citing history and legacy and how most Native Americans purportedly do not feel the name is derogatory or offensive.

RADCast Outdoors
A highlight from Fishing New Waters with Patrick Edwards
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by P .K. Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey, RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. This is RadCast Outdoors. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. Welcome back to another episode of RadCast Outdoors. I'm your host today, Patrick Edwards, and I'm on the road. So this is a special edition of Patrick on the Road. I'm heading out doing some traveling for my work. Wanted to talk a little bit about something that was brought up to me the other day. My friend Seth, he asked me to do a breakdown of when you're going to a new body of water, what are some things that you need to do? What are some things that you need to look at? What's the kind of gear you should take? And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a high -level overview of how to break down different types of water and maybe some ideas of things that you should do beforehand, some things you should take with you, and of course some things you should try while you're there. So we'll go through that, and then we're going to talk specifically towards the end about pike, because he was more curious about the pike fishing aspect of things. So we'll talk about that too. But first, I just want to say a big thank you again to PK Lures. They are our fishing sponsor for the podcast. They've been a great company to work with over the last few years. They have quite the arsenal of products, and if you're going to be going anywhere this year fishing, doesn't matter whether it's open water or hard water, make sure to grab some PK Lures. They've got applications for all of the above for ice fishing season. If you don't have the PK Flutterfish and the PK Spoon and the PK Predator in your box, you're missing out. If you're fishing the open water and the new PK Ridge Rattler, it's a rattling crankbait. You can use it through the ice too, by the way, but it works great in open water. If you're catching trout, bass, walleye, doesn't matter. It catches just about everything. They have some great trolling applications. They have some trolling crankbaits like the PK Ridgeline crank, and then of course their Wobbler Dakota Disc, ReefRig and other trolling systems for walleye specifically. Those things are absolutely deadly. And then year round, the PK Spinajig. How could I forget that one? That one's amazing. So go to PKLure .com if you use Ragcast at checkout, you get 20 % off your order. So let's talk about breaking down bodies of water. Really, there's a few things that you should do well beforehand. If you know you're going to be taking a big trip and you're going to make a big investment, especially right now when you got gas, it's four, some places, five bucks a gallon. You want to make sure that you've done your homework prior to going to this body of water to fish. It doesn't matter whether it's a river, a lake, a pond, a reservoir. You need to do your homework beforehand. So one of the things that I always recommend is number one, get a hold of the fisheries biologists that work at that body of water. They're going to be able to share important information with you, some reconnaissance on what kind of fish are there. What are the typical size? Maybe you're interested in the size classes. Maybe you're going after master anglers and you want to make sure that you give yourself the absolute best chance of catching that master angler fish. The best thing to do is say, hey, I want to go there and I want to catch a big fish. OK, they're going to be able to hopefully key you in on some good areas or at least give you some people to talk to. You can also do some recon on the computer or on your phone. So onX is a great tool. Google Earth, of course, is a great tool. I like to pull it up and just look at what I can see visually from the satellite view. Sometimes you get the bad luck of having a western reservoir after runoff and the whole reservoir looks like chocolate because all the sediments washed down the river, you can't really see like into the water. You can see some of the rocky points and structures, but you can't see much else. But some are super clear bodies of water and you can see really well. So what I recommend is pull it up, take a look at it, maybe drop some pins on some areas that you think look good. And so some areas that I look for is transitions from hard to soft bottom. So if you see like a rocky shoreline where it goes into like maybe a sandbar, that's a good spot. Any kind of point that has a drop -off, if you can see weed edges, transitions are typically where you're going to find fish most of the time. So I mark those and just get an idea of what I'm looking at and just get a feel for the reservoir. I also look at where can I put in, if I'm taking a boat, where's the boat ramp at? Where's the bathroom at? Those are important things. Where's the parking area? Maybe I'm just going to go take my waders and I'm going to fish the shoreline. You're going to have to look for a parking area. You also want to look at the properties surrounding that body of water to make sure that it's public, because if you need special access to it, you're going to have to request that beforehand. So if there's private access, you're going to need to make those phone calls, those emails, whatever it takes to get access to that area. So that's some of the pre homework that I would recommend. I would also recommend you maybe call a local bait shop and just say, Hey, I'm coming to fish for this specific species. What are people catching fish on right now? What's the hot bait or during the time of year that I'm going, if I'm going in September and I'm calling the bait shop in May, say, Hey, in the fall around September, what kind of things should I be bringing to catch whatever fish it is? Right. Could be walleye trout, whatever, but just be very specific. Ask those questions. Those bait shops are going to be more than happy to tell you because they want you to come and buy those lures from them. And I always try to do that. Support your local bait shops, go in there, buy a few lures. That's a great gesture. They really appreciate it when you do that. So do that. That'll get you set up for your trip. Okay. Now let's talk about some of the things you ought to take for most fresh water situations around the entire country here in the United States. These are some of the things I recommend everybody takes. Okay. You should have some kind of suspending crank bait anywhere you go in this country, especially if you're going to fish for anything predatory. So if you're going for bass, walleye, trout, panfish, they all eat suspending crank baits. I've caught them all on it. And I've even caught suckers and carp on them too. So you never know. You may catch one of the less desirables on it too, but a suspending crank is one of my number one things. So you want to have those, you want to have some kind of a jig set up. I always have jigs with me and usually they're the eighth ounce and 16th ounce size. I always have Baraboo jigs because those catch everything from yeah, carp all the way through to trout. So make sure that you have some kind of a jig set up. I also like the VMC Munai jig. Those are phenomenal. And of course, like I mentioned earlier, the PK spinner jig, because it's a hybrid between a jig and a spinner. And you can do a lot of cool things with it. You can swim it, you can jig it, you can do all kinds of stuff with it. I also make sure to take some kind of a soft plastic to tip my jigs with. I like to bring Berkeley Gulp. Gulp seems to work really well, especially on trout. I catch tons of trout on Gulp, but you can also bring the Power Minnows. You can bring Paddle Tails. I like the Walleye Assassin Paddle Tails quite a bit. So make sure to bring something like that to tip your jigs with. And then of course, depending on the body of water that you're going to and what the regulations are, you might be able to buy some live bait, which is great. It's always good to have some crawlers if it's during the summer, maybe minnows, like in the fall, spring and winter. So just check the regulations, make sure that you're doing the appropriate things and fishing with the right stuff. But jigs are essential to have in your kit. I like molded swimbaits too. So like Storm makes a molded swimbait. It's just, it's about two and a half, three inches long. I like to have those cause they're really easy to fish. All you got to do is tie them on, cast them out, let them sink down to whatever depth you want to fish and just slow reel them back, you can reel them and pop them back. But those work on just about every species that I fish for. So those are critical, but also spoons are huge.

A highlight from Bass and Bucks: Pronghorn Pursuits and Hunting Tales with John Bass
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by P .K. Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey, RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. This is RadCast Outdoors. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. Well, hello, and welcome to another episode of RadCast Outdoors. I'm Patrick Edwards. And I'm David Merrill. And we're back in the studio with a good friend of mine, Mr. John Bass, Superintendent of State Parks at Boyson State Park. So welcome to the show, man. Man, glad to be here. It's good to have you back. We've been talking about this episode for a while, too, because the three of us I would classify as pronghorn antelope nuts, or speed goat nuts. And so we're going to talk about speed goats today. Wyoming, I would argue, is probably the best place in the entire country for pronghorn hunting. And so, John Bass, yeah, welcome to the episode, and glad to have you on to talk about pronghorn and slash speed goats. Yeah, everybody calls them antelope, you know, pronghorn. I love hunting them. I mean, I was, you'd ask me to do this. He's like, we should do a podcast. What could we do one about? And I said, man, let's talk about pronghorn hunting. I hadn't heard y 'all do a podcast about that very much. And I was like, count me and I'll do it, you know. And we were talking earlier that, you know, I moved out here from Tennessee in 2017, but not my first time to Wyoming. When I, first time to Wyoming, I actually worked in Yellowstone National Park back in 01 when I was in college. And then my next trip to Wyoming was in 2009 on my first out of Tennessee hunting trip. I grew up hunting wild turkeys, eastern wild turkeys, and whitetail deer. And me and my brother and three of my good buddies decided to all load up and drive across their country, put in for tags and come pronghorn hunting, hunted around a place called Mule Creek Junction. Y 'all ever heard of it? It's right over the South Dakota border. And I'll talk about it now. We actually went on a walk -in area there because we went, me and my wife went back a couple of years ago and since onX, that place has kind of got inundated. But this was pre -onX. That should be a hunting term. It's pre -onX. Pre -onX. It's a real deal. Yeah, it's a real deal for like, especially walk -in areas and stuff like that. You had to do homework. You had to do research. We did. You had to print maps and you had to really figure out like, how am I going to get onto this square? Yeah, print map on a piece of paper and then I outlined the walk -in area with red and highlighted it. And I was like, okay, we're putting all of our eggs in this basket, right? And we had no idea what to expect, okay? So we ended up driving to Edgemont, South Dakota. Y 'all want to hear this whole story? Yes, I want to hear it. So we ended up driving to Edgemont, South Dakota. We stayed in Edgemont, drove into Wyoming because it's just over the border. And so we're a bunch of whitetail hunters from Tennessee, right? So what do we have to do? We're hunting pronghorn. We have to be there before daylight, like a whitetail hunter. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. That's what we need. So we had actually drove in the afternoon before because we got there. You know, it's a 24 -hour drive from Tennessee. We got there and we had not seen any pronghorn. I mean, we crossed into Wyoming. We're still not seeing any. And we got to that walk -in area and boom, there's a buck. There's another buck. There's some does. There's another buck. Like, hey, they're here. They're actually on this walk -in area. So we kind of set a game plan, went back to Edgemont, about a 45 -minute drive in a little motel there. It was called the Rainbow Motel at the time. I think it's the cowboy inn now. There's only one place to stay. And went back to the motel and, of course, we got up next morning. And when we got up, I could hear the wind blowing before we went outside. Oh, yeah. And so it was 60 -mile -an -hour gust with sustained at 40 miles an hour. Here we get in the truck. We take off in the dark into Wyoming to go on our first pronghorn hunt. And we're all like, what is, what are we doing, you know? So we had done plan where we was going to drop each other off at these little fence areas. So we was all kind of split up. And me and my buddy was together. We had a tag each. And I said, well, it's not together. You can have the first shot. Well, we was parked sitting in the truck, kind of waiting for it to get a little bit daylight. And the truck is just rocking from this wind. I was like, how are we going to hit these things? Like, they're going to have to be close. We'd all practice shooting. Well, anyway, so we got out of the truck, crossed the fence. And it was about 100 yards till it dropped off into kind of a big basin. And we walked that 100 yards. And as soon as we got to the crest, boom, there's a buck with a bunch of does at about 250 yards. But the wind is howling. And my buddy's shooting, God, I think he had a, I know I had myself a millimeter Magnum. And he had a 300 wind mag, I think. We brought these giant guns to shoot these less than white tail deer, yeah, a little too much. But I mean, you go hunting with what you're most confident in, right? Don't, you know, the best shooting gun, the one you shoot the best, that's the one you take. You go on an out -of -state hunt or a new hunt, don't buy a new gun and a new scope and try to set it up and take it. Get old trusty. You know, that's what I always tell people. Anyway, so he set up and he said, how much should I give for the wind? I'm like, man, 250 yards in this wind, I'd give it a foot. You know, it's going to move it a foot even at 300. And so he shot and he thought he missed it, but it took off running and I saw him fall and he went down. I said, no, you got him. You got him. And it was a pretty good, I mean, we didn't really know how to judge him. I think it ended up scoring in the mid seventies or whatever. So it was a great first one. And so as soon as he shot, I was like, we was excited, you know, and then another one walked out, another buck come out kind of behind this little hump, you know, the desert prairie is. And I said, there's another one. And I had borrowed this rangefinder from my cousin. And the only reason I knew what the range was, because in 09, laser rangefinders were still kind of new. This was like this big, big thing. And so I ranged it and it said 410 and he said, how much are you going to give for the wind? I said, I'm going to give him three feet. So I knew what my gun was shooting. So I brought it up over his back about six inches, brought it back to his butt where his butt was and squeezed off and he hit the ground, just slapped the ground. I mean, it went right behind the shoulder, but that wind moved it three feet. I knew what it would do. So you got to know what, you got to do some practice. And we always talk about practice and shooting and know what your gun's going to do and try to guess what the wind's going to do. But I mean, it's pretty consistent, you know, there's plenty of tables out there. And so we were just over the moon. The sun, I mean, technical sunrise hadn't even happened yet. We're tagged out on our bucks, you know, we had doe tags too. Well, during this time, my buddy John, he shot a buck and his doe right, I mean, they got up out of their bed right as the day was breaking. He filled both tags in the first five minutes. My brother, I think he filled his the next morning or maybe that afternoon, but we filled all of our tags in less than two days. And so it was like, well, this is either really easy or we get really lucky, you know, doesn't matter. It was a lot of fun. And so we just kind of hooked on it. And we ended up coming back, I think we come back in 2011, man, we ended up, you know, with in 2016 my father -in -law and my bud, one of my buddies and a couple of other friends from Tennessee. And I was telling y 'all earlier, you know, the reason I'm in Wyoming is because of pronghorn. And David kind of said the same thing. You know, when I started thinking about it on the drive down, I was like, you know, pronghorn is pretty important part of my life because, you know, if I wouldn't have been on that pronghorn hunting trip in 2016, I would not have been up at the Ten Sleep Brewery, a little shout out to them, drinking their golden ale, which is actually called speed goat named after pronghorn. I was drinking golden ale and I met a friend through work that worked for Wyoming State Parks that was actually the superintendent at Medicine Lodge. And he drove over there and we was having a beer talking about how awesome Wyoming was. He's originally from Michigan. I said, man, it's beautiful. I just need to move out here. And he said, well, they're looking for a superintendent down at Boyson State Park. Man, that's almost seven years ago, rest his history. And here you are. Here I am. And I couldn't be happier. My wife and son, now we just, we go and adventure and hunt. And I sent you a picture earlier of her and him and me, and it's a family affair. You know, that's what we all talk about next is how it's a, if you can draw a pronghorn tag in Wyoming, I mean, it's a very doable, very achievable hunt. It's very high success rates. As long as you can shoot, you should be able to fill the tag and you should be able to find them. I mean, there's plenty of places, a lot of walk -in areas, a lot of public ground. And I mean, any alfalfa field, if you're getting desperate, just go knock on the farmer's door. They're going to say, yeah, go ahead. Usually, I mean, they're not going to give you permission from mule deer. Don't even ask. You ask for a white tail though, or you say, Hey, how about them antelope? You want antelope? Sure. Go, go take two of them. Yeah. Yeah. They always wish you had more tags sometimes. So, so the antelope's a very doable hunt and I've had people ask me, you know, even after that first year we'll come out here and especially since moving out here, I've got a lot of hunting friends back home and they're like, man, I want to come out there and kill an elk. And I'm like, well, that's a little bit different. That's a much more difficult hunt, harder to do more time and that's harder on your body. Yeah. Harder all the way around. But I said, you know, you can, you can really do a pronghorn hunt. It's it's I think that first year in 2009 and this was getting a shoulder mount too. I got it mounted up in Newcastle and they shipped it back, but we did the tags, gas, fuel. Of course everything was split, food, hotel, everything and a shoulder mount. I had $1 ,100 in that hunt. That's a great deal. That just, you just can't do that. You know? Of course it's higher now. I mean, that was, God, that's 15 years ago almost makes me feel old. It's kind of interesting to hear you two talk about antelope and you know, pronghorn and what that means to you. For me being a Wyoming native, that's typically the first big game animal you go hunting for. It's either that or a deer typically, right? And so when I was 12 years old, the very first animal that I shot was a real nice pronghorn buck at 300 yards. You know, that was, that was my first animal. And so it has a special place in my heart as well, because it's like, that is kind of the beginning of my big game hunting, you know, journey. And they are one of the coolest animals on the planet. I was actually talking to a guy not too long ago about pronghorn and he's trying to, you might've read the article, but he's trying to prove that pronghorn are actually faster than cheetahs. Because back when they did the test to test the speed of the cheetah, there were some things that, you know, are kind of questionable about it. And so he wants to actually have some kind of a, you know, modern day, you know, with all the new technology, a way to actually test and see who's faster because he thinks pronghorn are faster. And he's like, Patrick, how fast do you think those things go? And I'm like, man, I've been driving down dirt road, you know, and they're, they're passing me. They're bound and determined. They're going to run alongside you and cut you off and go in front of you. And you can't, unless you've got a paved road, you ain't going to beat them in a pickup.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 08/25/23
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. I need to know from my Broadway Maven friend Mike Gallagher how many productions of West Side Story have you seen? I think I've seen three and I'm just a pretender in terms of consumers of the compliment. That sounds like an absolute slur. No, no, no. Is that a slur? No, a maven is somebody who is immersed in something, an expert in something, somebody who is well versed in something. Broadway aficionado or as they say in Maryland affectionado. Great, great. Well, last night was a big night. Sit tight, sit tight, sit tight. I do everything for a reason. First answer the question. It's Leonard Bernstein's 120th birthday. I don't know. Close, close. How many times have you seen West Side Story? A few, a lot. It's probably either that or Man of La Mancha or I don't know what is my favorite but it is indeed Leonard Bernstein's birthday born this date 1918. There's a movie about him coming up in November with Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein. A lot of drama about that controversy. Tell us why. Do you know why? Yeah, well he has a prosthetic nose apparently to try to recreate what Leonard Bernstein looked like. He had a big schnoz. He had a honker on him and Bradley Cooper doesn't so they did that but now all of a sudden it's Jew face which is just uncomfortable to say. It's like blackface where somebody white plays somebody black. It's like Broadway maven. No, it's not like that at all. So that's a stupid controversy. Bernstein's own family said we love Bradley Cooper. We love the movie. It'll come out. Now let's talk about the real life drama. The floor is yours, political maven Mike Gallagher. Let's talk drama. You know I love talking about swapping stories. So let me tell you a story. Let me first stipulate. I've got such a splendid team. I've got a team. I was thinking last night, Derek, Eric, Tracy, Adam, these are can -do people. They spring into action. You've got them there in Dallas. You've got Rhonda and of course all your great people around you, Gordon and Matt and everybody. We love to be surrounded by positive can -do people. So last night I get off the plane from Tampa. I'm in Atlanta. It's about 190 degrees here and I say to Derek, Derek, I gotta really hustle. I gotta drop my bags off. Give me the address of where the action is. Tell me where to go because I'm not sure, you know, the Fulton County system where he goes, got it, got it. And Derek goes fast. Sometimes when you go fast, you miss some key details. So he gives me the street address. Now I show up at the courthouse. It's a row of TV trucks. I'm thinking good. I'm in the right place. Look at all these TV trucks. But there are no people. So I'm now walking. Now bear in mind, I'm not kidding you. It is 100 degrees. I'm not exaggerating. It's literally 100 here and the humidity is about 200%. I'm schlepping around, schlepping around the courthouse and I can't find anybody. Finally I see a TV reporter and cameraman. I say, can you tell me where the protesters are? Oh yeah. Yeah. They're two blocks over. Cause I want to interview some people. I want to enter. I'm there to get the action, right? Of course. Of course. And I see a hundred TV trucks. It's gotta be, so I go to us two blocks over. So I go over and there's like a handful of like young people and they're like black and white kids. And I go into the crowd and I said, do you mind, Hey, I'm Mike from Salem radio network. You mind doing some interviews? Oh sure. Sure. I'm glad you're here. We'll talk. And they say, Hey, how are, why are you? They start talking about the police state and the, the, the, the, the authoritarians of the police department. I'm thinking, Oh gosh, I got a bunch of young pro Trumpers talking about the weapons, the weaponization of law enforcement. So then I bring it back to Trump and they look at me and they cock their heads and they say, Trump, I'm like, I said, finally the third kid I interview. And I started to notice there's a, I started to see, well, there's a rainbow flag over in the and background there's a black lives matter flag. This is a strange, this is a pro strange pro Trump group. I said, you're here for Trump. He said, Trump, we're here for Johnny. I said, who the heck is Johnny? Johnny is apparently somebody who was killed by the police. It's one of those police shooting protests. I get on the phone to Derek. I said, Derek, where are the peers? He goes, Oh, are you at the jail? I said, no, I'm at the courthouse. He said, Oh, you're in the wrong place. So now I said, please tell me the jail is a block away from here. It's just cause you're schvitzing like nobody's business. Try 25 minutes away. Try 20. Now, meanwhile, Trattup is, Tom Trattup is texting me saying, you better get there. He's landing. He's at the airport. Trump's on his way. I'm like, now I'm, now I'm running now. By now they've closed the highways because you see for a motorcade, that's one of the dog on his motorcades I've ever seen him. Well, but I want to talk about that with you in just a moment. Because he's just an ordinary prisoner, right? Exactly. Yeah. Just another prisoner. But now I can't get there because the roads are all closed for the motorcade. Cause I've been, you know, hanging out with black lives matter protesters, you know, giving them business cards and show materials. Let's go Donald Trump. And they're looking at me like I'm out of my mind. And then they're nice kids. I mean, they're just upset about a police shooting. Listen, let's put it this way. Let's stipulate Edward R. Murrow in the trenches covering the battle of the bulge. I ain't, I mean me walking around in a hundred degree weather trying to, so finally I get to within about two miles of the jail, the Uber driver Mustafa, who's already annoyed about the traffic. He drops me off two miles from the jail. And as CJ, the great engineer here in Atlanta put it, the jail is in the hood. The jail is in, I'm now walking, well, I'm in the hood walking the whitest guy in America and people are offering me drugs. I've got it. I had a discount on some crack. They're friendly people in Georgia. They're trying to do business with this, you know, white guy walking through the hood, clearly trying to find protesters. So it was unbelievable. And I'm not kidding you. It was, I will put it this way. Let me put this in a very dangerous neighborhood. Okay. And I am walking and I'm walking and I'm cursing and I'm saying I'm going to do things to Derek that third world countries do. I could not believe the position I was in. Anyway, long story short, I finally get there. As it turns out, when I got there, what comes pulling out of the Fulton County jail? The Trump motorcade. So I got video of the motorcade. I saw, you know, the whole procedure. I interviewed a bunch of people, white, black, pro -Trump, anti -Trump, and it all turned out, you know, fine. But it was interesting to talk to all the angry Atlantans who came out to witness this spectacle and they can't believe that their city is front and center in this disgraceful act of the prosecution of Donald Trump. You know, Biden yesterday celebrating the arrest as a great day to donate to his campaign. Did you see that vicious Nicole Wallace at MSNBC? Did you see what she did? Stifling a laugh. She's laughing about the fact that Trump was booked in a jail where two people had died. She thought that was funny. I mean, you know, the great Jesse Waters dressing down Jessica Tarloff calling her out for being giddy about the arrest. It's Christmas in August. It's Christmas in August for them. And as Jesse put it to the liberal on that, this is no time to celebrate. This is beneath you to celebrate, but they do celebrate this because it isn't serious. It isn't legitimate. I mean, this is brutal, just brutal. And, you know, I'm just trying to make sense of it all, Mark, with you and me, and we're trying to understand the enormity of it all. We're trying to survive this. And I will tell you that for people who live in Atlanta, who came in the brave, the heat to stand out there and wave a Trump flag or wave an American flag. I met a guy from South Dakota, incidentally, who came here in a truck convoy from South Dakota and a great. And incidentally, the guy was like, I can't believe I'm talking to you about two years ago. I was yelling at you on the radio when you was out driving and he was the nicest guy. We had such a great visit and we just commiserated about how low we've sunk. Historians are going to look back at this day and say, what were they doing? What did they do? Do you think they will? Well, I won't give you my speech on historians again. Historian is like a constitutional scholar. It's a law. I'm pretty serious, too. It is a lost profession. Historians are political hacks. If Trump does prevail in this, and especially if he is elected and wins, the historians who seem to be working today and dominating today will say that America missed an opportunity to heap accountability onto an evil leader who is elected by the enthralled cult worshiping masses. That's what today's brand of historian will say. I pray to God historians pull their heads out and realize what is happening. Well, I saw Jonathan Turley when I got back to the hotel and I put the cold compresses on my forehead and I got the smelling salts and I sat in the cold tub for two hours to try to recover. Again, a war correspondent I ain't. Jonathan Turley said something last night to Sean Hannity. It's a quick paragraph. I want to read this to you. He says, this is a law professor. And oh, and by the way, speaking of social media, Trump's back on Twitter. Back on Twitter. Eighty six million followers. How many likes? I wonder how many? How many views? I'll look while you share the quote. Go ahead. The quote is this is Jonathan Turley's exact words. This is criminalizing the challenge of elections. You have a Democrat prosecutor saying, how dare you challenge a Democrat victory? That's it. And it's been done before by Democrats, including this one. Red State found all these instances of Fannie Willis questioning the outcome of elections. She's done it before. You have a Democrat prosecutor saying, how dare you challenge a Democrat victory? The case is based on the theory that Trump was it was challenging this election illegally was pointed out. This is the eleven thousand. I need to find eleven thousand votes. The way the way she portrayed that phone call. These are Jonathan Turley's words, Mark. The way she portrayed that phone call is evidence of the bias and unfairness of aspects of this indictment. And to the left and to the Trump haters, this is the whole indictment. I need how many? Eleven thousand. Eleven thousand. Jonathan Turley said it makes perfect sense when you're challenging an election to say, I only need eleven thousand photos or votes. That's not a lot in Georgia. That's not criminal. That's making a case for a recount. Especially when the number is especially when everybody woke up and found that things had changed crazily overnight in a number of states. And there were votes that were being counted that maybe shouldn't have something were being not counted that maybe should have. So, OK, in that fog of uncertainty, find me eleven thousand legal actual real votes. And let's see what we can do here. There's nothing illegal about that. There's nothing criminal about that. And that's their whole case.

Mark Levin: Chris Christie Has No Agenda for the Presidency
"Change. Chris Christie honestly did better than I thought he wasn't as bad as I thought and I'll get to Mike Pence in a minute because I think Mike Pence took the role of Chris Christie for the most part but I'll get to this Chris Christie really has no reason to either he doesn't have much of an agenda he hasn't thought about it very much I think he viewed it as perhaps sort of a student debating society I just I don't see any lane for him I don't see any reason for him the governor of Burgum from North Dakota seems like a perfectly fine man I think it'd be a great Secretary of Energy maybe Secretary of Commerce I do like his federalism approach for the but again I'm not sure why he's there that's three out of the eight out of the eight now let's get to the tough part start with Nikki Haley I think she presented herself very well but something huge was missing massively huge whether you like her or not or agree with her or not she almost didn't talk about her eight year record at all she mentioned school choice I think I didn't hear anything else she attacked the spending at the federal level what did she do with spending at the state level did taxes go up did spending go up I have no idea nor do I have the interest to even google it and look it up but she wasn't running on her eight year record at all which tells me it
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Gov. Burgum, Sen. Ricketts, and Adm. Stavridis on Sen. Tuberville's unacceptable hold on military promotions
"Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College. All things Hillsdale at Hillsdale .edu. I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there. And of course, listen to the Hillsdale Dialogues, all of them at Q for Hillsdale .com or just Google Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale. Welcome back, America, 33 minutes after the hour. I'm joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who will be on the debate stage in Milwaukee. He is running for president. Good morning, Governor. Welcome back to The Hugh Hewitt Show. Hugh, fantastic. Great to be with you. Good morning. Good morning. Dougburgum .com is your campaign website. You've qualified for the debate stage. I anticipate one of the questions, or more of the questions, will be about former President Trump's legal problems. Do you think he can get a fair trial in the District of Columbia? Well, I think, Hugh, there's an entire industry of pundits that can weigh in on this, and I'm not going to be weighing in on it because I think just the entire fact that all the media is spending 7x24 commenting on this, that, and the other thing, and presidential elections have to be about the future. And as you know, we're jumped into this thing late. Very few people know us. It's important for us to spend any valuable minute we have talking about the future, talking about our vision for the country, talking about the real threats to our country, including China and Russia, the Cold War we're in with China, the proxy war we're in with Russia, and so we're just going to keep doing that, and I'm sure there will be plenty of voices to fill the airwaves on their thoughts about what may or may not happen in upcoming legal battles. You know, Brett Bear and Martha MacCullum are the equal of any debate moderators in America. Do you expect them to ask questions about the former president's legal woes on that debate stage? If don't, they they'd be a rare find in American media today. All right, let's go to Commander -in -Chief responsibility because you brought it up, national security. Right now, Senator Tommy Tuberville in Alabama has a hold on 300 promotions of general officers, some of them, no doubt, from North Dakota up there at your missile bases. What do you make of Senator Tuberville's boycott and holding these career military officers hostage because Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin violated the Hyde Amendment? Well, I think your last part of that is the accurate part. I mean, I think Joe Biden and this administration are willing to sacrifice national security. You see it, you know, over and over. You see it with what they did in Arizona, with the national monument. You've seen it, what they're doing with their energy policy, which is likely, it feels like it was written by the Chinese and the Russians, the Biden energy policy, but he's willing to sacrifice all kinds of things for an ideology. And this is, you know, the military today, we have two important air bases in North Dakota, as you know, but if someone on that air base, if their parents die, if their sibling dies, the Air Force says, hey, take vacation, but use your own money. They don't pay for someone to fly to their own parents' funeral. And yet here, the Biden administration is insisting to support something which is, you know, highly political to say that the federal government should pay for that. And knowing and setting up a confrontation, knowing that Republicans have for decades said that federal funds should not be used for any portion of abortion service. So Biden knows what he's doing, doing it. If he wants those appointments filled, all he's got to do is reverse a policy and get it in line with the rest of the military. The rest of the military benefits that they provide to existing soldiers for other things that are going on in their family. Well, I agree with you. It is illegal. What they've done violates the Hyde Amendment. But, Senator, I mean, Governor, there are tactics and there are tactics. You represent a lot of career military officers. Anyone being held up has got a family. Not only that, every colonel that doesn't move up to general in the Air Force and every captain who doesn't move up to admiral in the Navy keeps a commander or a lieutenant colonel stuck. So my question is, do you approve of Senator Tuberville's tactics in attacking the Biden administration policy? Well, Hugh, I'm running for president. When I'm president, I'll reverse the policy and then no one will have to talk about this on a radio show because it won't exist anymore. It's important that these positions are filled. I agree completely. We need to have them filled. But this is on Biden. It's not on anybody else. Oh, it's on Senator Tuberville. I've got to disagree. It's an interview, not a debate. But Senator Tuberville is the only senator who has this hold. If you see him, what will you urge him to do? To continue the hold indefinitely for two more years or to get off of it, having made his point? Well, I guess I would just say, again, the Biden administration is creating this controversy. They're creating you and I talking about it because, as you said, they're doing something illegal. I would focus on maybe the president should follow the law first. Nikki Haley yesterday on this program said Tommy Tuberville is hurting military readiness. Do you agree with Ambassador Haley? I agree that Biden is hurting military readiness because he's choosing politics over national security. Governor, do you think that kind of an answer is going to impress the Republican electorate either as a direct answer or as an evasive answer? Again, I'll leave that up to the pundits. I mean, everybody else can decide. But, you know, again, I just know as president what I would do is we wouldn't have this policy and we wouldn't be talking about it. But you're not going to criticize Senator Tuberville? No, I'm criticizing Joe Biden. That's the reason we're talking about this. No, I have talked about abortion endlessly. I've been pro -life for my 33 years in broadcast. But this is about Senator Tuberville. I mean, it's devastating national security into these families. And I think it will divide the Republican field. It will be interesting to people. But you don't want to answer it, so I'll move on. I approve heartily of your online campaign with your shots from the 70s. How's the reaction to your throwback commercials? Well, I'm glad that you're – I'm glad you're enjoying them. That's fantastic. But I would say, you know, the campaign – the campaign where every stop we're talking about economy, we're talking about energy, we're talking about national security. And, you know, speaking of the 70s, when you and I were coming out of high school, you know, there was two things that the world was sure of. We were going to run out of energy. We were going to run out of food. I mean, remember the gas lines, the energy crisis, all that was going on. And, of course, you'd think after, you know, decades of moving this country forward with innovation, not regulation, we would understand that innovation can solve all the problems, whether it's food security, energy security. And yet we have a Biden administration that's obsessed with using regulation in their mind, you know, somehow that they're, you know, going to save the planet through regulation when, in fact, whenever they come up with a regulation like this with the National Monument in Arizona, which is basically, as appropriately described, a gift to Putin, it's as big of a gift as their policy that says, we're going to get all of our – you know, buy all of our batteries and solar panels from China when, of course, A, we'd be dependent on our number one adversary for critical resources here to run our economy, but B, China's opening up a coal plant every two weeks. And if you get a solar panel from China, it was made in a plant that was powered by coal. And so there isn't anything about this Biden energy policy that's good for the environment. If you care about the environment in this country, you'd want to have every ounce of energy. You'd want to have every ounce of uranium mining happening here because we have an EPA. We do things – we do it cleaner, safer, smarter than anywhere else in the world. And by the way, if we took our full capability to be the energy powerhouse we can be, it wouldn't just be energy independence, it'd be energy dominance. And we've got Yellen, Blinken and Kerry all in China, none of them talking about energy policy as a lever. When China imports 10 million barrels of oil a day, they're the most dependent economy in the world. You know they've got issues with deflation. They've got issues with employment for 18 to 24 -year -olds. They've got a huge set of economic issues that we could exploit right now, but we're not because we're not using the tool that has been the thing that wars have been fought over, which is energy.

Are You Better Off Today Than You Were Four Years Ago?
"How do you think they get electricity? with coal? nuclear? oil and natural gas? they don't just snap their fingers? electricity providers recently spoke out against the Biden patients attack on the fossil fuel industry specifically power plants ladies and gentlemen you know you rely on them for air conditioning and rely on them for heating warning that the at speed which officials are pursuing a green energy transition risks significant energy shortages now this has to be what? the 500th point that I've made on this or article that I've read on this? so when it comes you know who's responsible for it because it's coming it's happening it's going to happen going to report from the Washington Times Southwest Power Pools Executive Vice President Lanny Nicoll recently said that though he's not advocating Biden double down on conventional energy sources he does think the U .S. needs to slow down with stripping assets from our energy footprint Lanny's company oversees power grids across 14 states this guy knows what he's talking about including Kansas and Oklahoma portions of New Mexico and Texas Arkansas Louisiana Missouri South Dakota North Dakota Montana Minnesota Iowa Wyoming and Nebraska Tristate Generation and Transmissions Barry Ingold gave a similar cautionary statement

They have a bunch of sites, mostly North Dakota, but I think also in Texas as they are a Texas based company. And they are making a deal with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HEP, to build and host Nvidia H100 graphics processing units, GPUs, essentially for high performance computing. This bleeds into all the other headlines, including high blockchain's announcement as of last Friday. We did a podcast about this with Frank and Aiden, about how they're increasingly moving into cloud hosting. They see this as like another pillar of revenue for them that enables them to be more flexible with their Bitcoin mining. So we're definitely on like a press tour about that. Then we had a Wall Street Journal article sort of summarizing all this. So I guess once you get into the Wall Street Journal, kind of be like, okay, this is like a thing, put a little sustain on it. This Wall Street Journal article was kind of funny. They're talking about the crypto mining explosion and pivot into AI. Essentially, they go and talk to all these former altcoin miners who are mostly using GPUs and my theory over other altcoins, not really Bitcoin and how over the last 12 months or so they pivoted into AI processing, typically on a lower level than like the chat GPTs of the world, but they're still doing rendering and GPU demand probably for like universities and things like that. Okay. So we'll take some standouts from all this. The first one I want to have is about this Wall Street Journal article. It was funny how there wasn't really a mention of any big miners besides CoreWeave, which did recently do a huge funding round. It basically focused on the small guys who were doing the GPU stuff and ignored these 20 plus public companies that are actively mining Bitcoin and pivoting into AI stuff.

Would You Rather: 5K Edition!
"Rather do a 5K in all 50 states, right? So we would backtrack and do all the states over again. Or would you rather run 5Ks through the national park system? You know, it was really exciting when we did Idaho and Montana, because those were the 49th and 50th states for me to have visited. So it's been exciting already being in all 50 states. And that's the other fun part of this journey for you, is that we were able to claim that. And I know that's been a major goal for me because of my father. And he passed away six years ago, seven, almost seven now. And the one thing he lamented was that he'd only been to 49 of the 50 states. And so knowing that we've checked that off our list has been really great. And taking dad to the 50th state was really fun, too. We took his ashes skydiving in North Dakota. So I would say I would be much more interested in doing the national parks, because we've already been to the 50 states. Now we ran a 5K in all the national parks. Yes, because they have races. Oh, shoot. I just wanted to go to the parks. But what a good way to see them, though. But that's the thing. Now, just the idea of running a 5K is, well, let's do that in the morning and then go see whatever, you know, we might as well get a t -shirt and a medal out of something. And I'll probably want to go for a run anyway. And that's the remarkable part of this for me, is that I'm already thinking, boy, I didn't get to go out and run today and I really I feel like I'm OK with it, but I would rather get out and do something physical.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel Talks GOP 2023-24 Debates
"Chairwoman Romney, I want to talk about debates with you. We have a fixed field. Former President Trump, former Vice President Pence just dropped his announcement video. Governor DeSantis is in. Senator Scott is in. Ambassador Haley is in. Former Governor Christie dropped his announcement yesterday. Vivek Ramaswamy has been in for a while. I think those seven will get the 40 ,000 minimum donation. Not sure if Governor Hutchinson will maybe. Doubt Larry Elder will, and he's my colleague. And North Dakota Governor Borgum, I'm not sure he will, and I don't think anyone else will. Do you think the field is fixed at those 10 serious candidates, seven of whom are likely to make the debate stage? Yeah, I think we've got the field pretty settled now as who's getting in. I think everybody understood. If I'm going to have to get a $40 ,000, a $40 ,000 small dollar donor base, I'm going to have to get in before August. So I think that field is mobilized. And I think we've created good criteria. And the reason why we've done this $40 ,000 small dollar donor threshold, one, the Democrats had $60 ,000, but the Democrats have a better ecosystem at small dollar donations. And if our candidate is going to be anywhere near competitive with Joe Biden, they need to start creating this building block towards success. And we need to make sure that they have a small dollar fundraising infrastructure. And that's why we're putting this requirement in. If you can't do this, you really shouldn't be running for president. You're not going to beat Joe Biden. So we're not doing it in a punitive way. We're doing it in a success metric. And if you can't do this to get on the debate stage, you're probably not going to be able to take on the incumbent president of the United States.

Do These GOP Candidates Have Any Real Shot at Beating Trump?
"Think the governor of North Dakota has a path to the White House? Does anybody think Mike Pence has a path to the White House? And incidentally, full disclosure, I like Mike Pence. I know that's heresy. A lot of people are still mad at him over January 6th. I think he is an absolutely good and decent man. I believe he did what he thought was right. And yes, I think it's fair to say he sort of turned against Donald Trump over the events of January 6th, which is very regrettable. But for those of us who watched his four years as President Trump's vice president, you shouldn't have a beef with the guy. Does that mean he'll be the 47th president of the United States? Uh -uh. I don't think it does. Does he think so? In other words, do you think he thinks he has a path? Do you think Asa Hutchinson thinks he has a shot? Do you believe the governor of North Dakota realistically believes he can be the next president of the United States? And I'm not trying to trick you here. That's not a rhetorical question. I mean that literally. Do they think they've got a path?

2 abortion bans failed, 1 passed in US statehouses this week
"There's been a slew of legislative and court actions on abortion recently. I'm Lisa dwyer with the latest. Ten months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down roe V wade and a nationwide right to abortion, states are pushing in opposite directions on the issue this week, North Dakota's governor signed a new ban into law becoming the 14th state with a ban on abortions at all stages of pregnancy, making it one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Abortions of pregnancies caused by rape or incest are allowed only in the first 6 weeks and they're allowed later only for specific medical emergencies, and Utah, there's a court hearing to determine whether a ban on abortion clinics there is allowed to take effect. Lawmakers in Nebraska and South Carolina felt just short of passing their own bands. Meanwhile, though governors of Minnesota and Washington signed bills to protect access. I'm Lisa dwyer.

And there were constant disagreements between the studio directors and the author, Dakota says that she had known at the time it was going to be like this. She doesn't think she would have done it. Do you think it was worth it for her in the end to do the film? I mean, I can't speak for her personal well-being, but I take career wise. It hasn't hurt her. I'm gonna go ahead and speak to her IMDb. And say, it was worse. I'd say it was worth it. And there was so much drama with like a 50 shit. I haven't seen the movies because there was such drama about it. I was like, I don't even know what's happening. But like have you ever been on a set where there wasn't a little drama? Yeah, but I mean, in a way, I kind of relate to what she's saying because I would not have signed up for the real if I would have known what I was getting into. And that's just the honest thing. It's like you go in and you think it's going to be one thing and then once you get in it, it's like, wow, nobody told me, this is going to happen and that my character was going to be attacked and all this other kind of stuff.

You could have started at the beginning. We asked you to start at the beginning, but you didn't want to go. But let me ask you a question. Why do you stay in something for 8 years and why would you stay in for something for three films if it was because you think it's going to get better? Because you think it's going to get better and it's an opportunity. And you're like, oh, God, there's so much. When you do the checks and balances, the pros and con you write out the list of like, okay, there's this, but there's also this. I could just kind of deal with this for a temporary amount of time, the longevity that I might get out of that will be worth it. Well, I mean, obviously, this goes for anyone. I feel like whenever you're first starting out and an opportunity comes, you have to sacrifice something. Yeah. Now, it's up to the person. What they want to sacrifice. Oh. 'cause I know some people who have sacrificed a little bit of dignity. And I know some people who have sacrificed.

"Welcome to April 19th, 2022 in the national day calendar. Today we celebrate the peace garden state and peace of mind for garlic lovers. When you think of places associated with Italian food, North Dakota is probably the last thing that comes to mind. But consider this, each year, Americans eat nearly 6 billion pounds of pasta. Pasta is made from durum wheat, and 80% of that wheat is grown in North Dakota. According to statistics from the North Dakota wheat commission, the state produces enough wheat to supply each person in the United States with over 90 pounds of pasta annually. Think about that the next time you're eating a plate of spaghetti. On national North Dakota day, we celebrate the peace garden state and all its citizens, especially our very own Marlo Anderson. Oh my goodness, yes. For date nights, it's best to avoid eating anything with garlic in it. Unless your date involves hunting vampires. Folk tales and superstitions vary around the world, but one of the things most everyone agrees on is that garlic is a good vampire deterrent. These bloodsuckers supposedly have heightened senses, which would explain why they would hate the smell so much, but there may be more to the legend. Garlic has medicinal properties and traditionally has been pretty easy to come by, even for the poor. So what better way to keep people from freaking out about monsters than to tell them some everyday item could keep them safe? On national garlic day, enjoy some of this delicious seasoning and leave monster hunting to the professionals. So what's your favorite way to have pasta marlowe? With garlic on it, of course. Lots of garlic. Yes. Okay, that was then I can't invite my vampire friends over. Well, you are a professional monster hunter, right, John? Absolutely. All right. You're freaking me out. I'm Anna deavere. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate every day. See you tomorrow.

I only got like 11 pounds left, so super, super easy caught ahead of me. Nothing. Is that a joke? No, not for real. That's not shit. How do you get Hubbard? It was 31 pounds and 6 days. So this ain't gonna be, you know, not then. I'm water loaded. It's gonna be a breeze. So how do you lose 11 pounds 24 hours? Sitting in the tub, sauna, whatever you gotta do. It sucks. Don't get me wrong. It sucks, but it's you know, I've done this. My whole career. So it's worth the payoff at the end. You know, all I'm thinking about, I think about the fight. I'm just thinking about what food I get to go fuck up after this. All right, so I sit at the top a lot and I don't lose 11 pounds. How is it the epsilon salt cups that we talk about? Some people do that some salt, I don't. You know, I don't have any sodium in me this week, so the water is just starting to shed and water loading the previous days. It's going to help just keep flooding the body and what's water loading. Now on the water, two gallons of water, how much water you drink? I drank one, Tuesday, and then do yesterday and then today I'm just sipping as when I'm thirsty. Now I used to when I used to cut away wrestling in high school in college. I would spit in a cup all day. Do you do that? You do that. Do you like spit? On the day of it just depends on how close I get down if I'm feeling good. And I feel like I could spit off half a pound I will. But you know, you know how it goes it just depends on the day or how you're feeling and then there were kids that would stand on like their head before they weigh in. I don't get that. I never understood that one. But I've seen people do it, too. All right, so now are you wearing rubber suits and then going on the bike for a couple hours? No. No, I'm not gonna, you know, 'cause that's just taxing on the body.

"Making that film was pretty nuts because it was fairly recent that she passed and we shot it in the town that they lived the family and in a house right down the street from the house that they lived and where she died. And everyone knew her in this town. It's a really small town called fairhope in Alabama. And I would go into it we'd go to a restaurant for dinner and the hostess would be like, oh, Nicole used to sit here and she would order this and it was just that's weird. That's not normal when you make a movie and people everywhere will tell you things about her. So I was constantly informed and constantly living in this. It wasn't on a stage. It wasn't totally fake. It wasn't it was very, very real and her daughters came to visit set and it was a really beautiful time. It felt like definitely being out of time and in a bubble. Yeah.

But you did not, a lot of people, their inclination is to put on pajamas and order Postmates and just literally zoom in to work. You have been working at a pace that is probably faster than ever in different going from one bubble of a sort to another. But the one that I think was the first chronologically.

"Of locked in. So there was a lot of trust put in Jamie and I. Yeah. Now in and around those I guess before and after the first film and then somewhere around the other two, you were doing you began to really do a lot of other very different stuff with a wide variety of very good directors. And I just want to prompt you if you have anything you'd like to say about a few of them. Black mass, you were the girlfriend of lady bulger for director, writer director Scott Cooper, who actors who are not necessarily fans of everyone like Christian Bale's a very specific guy. Loves working with Scott Cooper. They can't stop working together. I know. She's so annoying. Cast me. Because. What makes what makes people want to work with actors want to work with Scott like that and what was your experience with black mets? I loved working on that movie because of the I mean, so cool to do like a Boston mob movie in the 70s. And to, you know, work opposite Johnny Depp was like very inspiring and he's an a crack an incredible actor. And Scott was, I think that the environment he creates is really uplifting for an actor feeling like good. So maybe people like to hear that? Yeah. He was an actor, yeah. Yeah, he was an actor. He's just like a very warm person, and he makes you feel like he makes everyone feel like you're in this, you know, like, family, this group, and it's in that you're making something special in the set is really respected. It's very quiet. It's very serious but not self serious. So it felt very, that's probably why I love working with him. Also, I think when a director really sees you in a way that other people don't or other directors don't, or maybe you don't see yourself. It's incredibly fortifying, I think, for an actor because that's everything. I think for me, especially as wanting to find out new things that I can do or be new people. And just to have her on the point that you were working quite a lot. The first Fifty Shades was 2015, black mass was 2015, and then so two was a bigger splash, the first of the two movies you did with Luca guadagnino. Who is at that time was probably best known for I am love. Now maybe best known for calling by her name. But in between are these two very special movies that you guys did together in a bigger splash in 2015 and then suspiria in 2018, you and tell the swinton in both of them and that in itself might be something we should talk about because a very special access to there. But just how did it sound like there was there was an unexpected first meeting with Luca that got this all rolling, right? Yes. Yesterday I was told his birthday..

"And Jamie also looked after me and I looked after him and we got to a place with each other where like, you know, at the time, intimacy coordinators didn't exist. Right. Which like, I don't know what that would have even done, because we had people on set that were consultants like we had this man who was himself a BDSM that was his life. And so he taught us everything. And it was almost like how you would imagine people learning how to sword fight in a movie. But using a riding crop and a flogger, but there's an etiquette to everything and how you hold certain things and what you do with the and it was so interesting to learn. So it became more of like less of like a scary, sexy, weird stuff, and more of like wanting to really get it right for the people that really wanting to respect this type of sexuality and that to me was really cool. And learning about it was really cool. I don't know what it would have been like if someone if a woman was like, or anybody, was there, you know, saying, Dakota is it okay if Jamie touches you here? Jamie and I really had to figure it out for ourselves and really protect each other and then make sure that everyone knew what our plan was. Because it was, it was the kind of thing where it was too vulnerable for other people to dabble in it. Does that make sense? Yeah, and I wonder if you can just set the scene for folks who are trying to picture what it's like making a movie on a lot of movies. You know, there's sort of behind the scenes photos and you'll see there's a zillion people standing behind the camera doing different functions or just hanging around or whatever. Were you guys able to do more of a closed set? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Completely closed set. We would have the camera operator and Sam. Yeah. And like a boom operator in the room. And then, you know, after you get to know everybody, we filmed all three movies in Vancouver. Tony, the sound guy would be like laying on the floor with a boom like this. And we'd just be like, making jokes the whole time. It's like it's uncomfortable for everybody. I think. So the first movie comes out and is a huge, first of all, there's a big promo ahead of that big publicity push, of course, and then it does very well. And I would imagine that you're.

But who, since popping up in a brief but memorable turn in David Fincher's the social network, 11 years ago, has very much made her own name in the business. Now 32, she shot to fame through a trilogy of blockbuster films released between 2015 and 2018, which were inspired by the bestselling Fifty Shades books by EL James. But it has been primarily through arthouse films that she has established her artistic bona fides. Among them, Luca guadagnino is a bigger splash in 2015 and suspiria in 2018, Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nelson's, The Peanut Butter Falcon in 2019. And this year, Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut, the lost daughter, in which she plays an overwhelmed young mother who establishes a connection with a woman who was in her shoes, decades earlier. The Netflix film is coming to select theaters on December 17th and then to the streaming platform on December 31st.

What do we do. And we just found out that. This whole stunt from christie nome was being funded by a huge gop donor. We saw that when everyone said. How is this working like. How are you moving these troops. It said through a private donation that private donation comes from a wealthy like a millionaire junk yard owner from tennessee. And that's that's what we have now and now meanwhile rhonda santa's is also wanting to show how dumb he can be ignored the facts of an issue and now he sending his own people. Because you can't get out trumped by kristi nome. He's sending fifty officers from fish and wildlife conservation highway patrol and the department of law forcement. Hell yeah. I love to fish people. Those send a fish people to suit mexicans this dog on work out perfectly for everybody. I love that. It's a billionaire junkyard owner. Like they're just they are russia your business. They're in the business of mad. Max like thunderdome like they're just like get us there. That's that's where we thrive astra black toast apocalyptic wasteland. I don't i don't understand. You said north dakota south dakota which dakota south dakota so in my mind and maybe i'm an ignorant person. I'm absolutely ignorant person but one of the things that that at least seems logical to me is. If i'm the the governor of south dakota i would want more states to get fucked up so that people could come to south dakota like go so right right make make everything else. Get even and then. Suddenly south dakota looks like a better option. Why are you competing to keep texas safe you idiot. Oh just let it tank and then be like. Hey you know tank we. Have you know if you wanna talk about mistreatment of indigenous people. Checkout south dakota through. You're gonna love it here. We've got her own brown thing going on up here guy you gotta try this thing so that the the wacky thing about this you too is. They're saying in their sending all these people law enforcement national guardsmen and more than anything on every time there's a press release about this they all say for operational security we will not say the exact number of people the units involved where they're going to be or what their mission is so a lot of people like yeah way hold out what the fuck are they gonna do exactly down their leg because you know. There's a lot of border to cover and of sending a hundred people. Are they each covering one hundred eighty miles a person that they're gonna be looking at on their own so when they were asked specifically when they ask. The governor's office in florida like what they were going to be doing. A spokesman said quote we are enforcing immigration laws and quote officers will be investigating criminal activity associated with human smuggling drugs and weapons smuggling. This is why we aren't able to provide specific details on numbers and locations. So they can make sure. I think one of the people said bad guys so the bad guys don't know what run where we're like going to be operating. Its i think when you start looking at the reason it's all nothing it's all paper where all just spectacle the further you get from like. They've found in in studies that like the politics around. The border league in border towns are much less hardline than they are like when you get further inland and like that keeps going all the fucking way up to south dakota like wears just like they don't. They don't know any immigrate immigrants so like it doesn't bother them to just treat them like quote bag guys from from movies and i think if you add in the language of criminals and bad guys in an all these suggestions of drug and rape then you start to make associations that satisfied the need either way like. I don't want drugs in my community. I don't want rapist near my family so like yeah go get them. If.

"It's facts that the biden harris administration does not is on the cancelled keystone excel. They're not fans of of major oil pipeline. So it is a open to debate in talking about this that they may want to not have as pipeline running. But it's it's a very big difference between not approving keystone excels permit or cancelling that permit and actually emptying a crude oil pipeline. Which is what we're talking about. Today because this pipelines running full get to the conspiracy army corps of engineers basically. They haven't my emotional impact statement or they say that they're gonna have their mind. Pack statement ready march twenty twenty two. But they haven't they did the environmental assessment so that yea cessna so they kind of say they've done everything right the conspiracy there and i don't really think it's conspiracy theory. I just think that so. You have no legal precedent to empty crude oil pipeline to date really that so that's probably why has not been emptied because the judge to order just had ordered you know put this injunction that you From my understanding of that kodak's was ruled against but we didn't actually do anything on it because we have no legal precedent to a. He sort of got his hand. Slapped and the pipelines stayed running and dakota access made the case and so this is sort of an the army corps of engineers basically. I guess they're saying now that they don't have the pipeline is running without permits so the standing rock sioux tribe is pleading to judge votes. And saying hey we won. We assume that the administration was going to this would-be over when this this administration got elected. That was really interesting to hear that. They made that very clear and they probably said that before. I wasn't aware of that. But they made it very clear within the hearing that they assume stipend was going to be emptied with this administration. The friends in the white house. This is what would happen so that that didn't happen. And just roseburg and the san york. Sioux tribe seem very annoyed at dakota access the army corp engineers during the hearing. And so he didn't they ruled against pipeline. It didn't happen. The just kinda got his hand slapped. And now we're sort of where we're at and our mccormack engineers should have made it in. I think the judges. Maybe hoping they were going to make the decision. But they're not and they're saying okay. We'll we'll have the emotional impact statement ready on on on march twenty twenty two and i the market read it as you explained the market. That's really positive right. The divine inspiration is not going to go after line. Three not gonna go after line. Five for bridge and these pipelines are protected and i of read it a little bit differently that you because he didn't have the legal precedent you should be going through the courts to get the legal precedent and this would be to me. Looks like it may not work. They may not get the ruling in their favor but if they get it and it sticks then you've got it which means that's way more damning five in line three and actually any pipeline existing. That's full to empty pipeline and legal precedent beyond that to just not get one approved so they were so the ideas they were playing a more nuanced game..

"What you need. Is the bill this. The other thing to know is that north dakota does have. I mean they've been sort of unused but they have a massive monorail capacity. So i think we are going to see. And i'm sure if there's folks in north dakota already gearing up for this i think we're gonna see rail volumes increase in this this up. At least i think by a couple hundred thousand. We're still talking. Contingent upon the army corps shutting in-depth. So i'm gonna push gimme probability estimate on that happening based on the conversations you've had with people in dc i think the conversations that people had in dc also just the fact that if you research if you're reading the financial times the wall street journal and that i'm not the only person saying now and there's there's other analogy entity groups in dc. That are saying it. I think is pretty high. Seventy five percent chance of this. This pipe gets emptied. And i think that and i think it is a precedent. The we you know the first thing that keystone excel and you know the ability to do this this under climate the executive order on climate change. I think there was this. I'm happy to admit that. I'm wrong and will end. I'm okay with that. But i am a betting person if i was drinking at probably take a higher bet on that But i think that it's i think the chance that it gets and maybe not next week. Maybe not doesn't happen next week. But i think that dakota access is forced to empty the risks or extremely high the have to execute pro the court in environmental impact statement which is more challenging than environmental assessment. Historically the es has not been used to block projects though and i think it's hard to draft an es that says this safely operating pipeline that's already built poses an environmental threat. And i think it's important to point out that dakota access morphed into something that really wasn't necessarily about oil and gas per se. It was that was really part of it..

"Legislation That data privacy legislation though is outward from the state government. I again as i spoke about a while ago. Right internally within state government were already securing arcada. Ready categorizing Our data and making it usable by our agencies ir citizens so we already have that level of governments within the within the four walls of the state But i think that that that legislation around data privacy and how it can be leveraged. By is i i as i as i read the national review for example on around data privacy rights. It's it's beginning to coalesce even more and the inning. Two people are beginning to see the realities The bad of what can happen with data privacy if you read books like Weapons of mass destruction or human compatible. Right you can see kind of some of the bad things can happen if you don't have good governance transparency audibility and explain ability in place So i think that in my mind that technology is certainly certainly Morphine and becoming more usable. More pervasive more ambient if you will but also think that governance is going to going to have to assume that same same Audibility explain ability and transparency and become more ambient as well yeah. We reported that book. Weapons of mass destruction so we always encourage our listeners to to check out books definitely check that out and i am very excited for autonomous vehicles. So i'll have to keep an eye on. What north dakota is doing. So that i don't need to ever drive again. What dorming thank you so much for joining us today on this podcast absolutely.

So we have a great guests for you here today and kathleen will introduce and welcome him here. Yes so today with us. Our guest is dorman basell. Who is the chief data officer for the state of north dakota so high doormen and thanks for joining us today. Kathleen ron thank you for the opportunity. Either to hang out with you guys for a little bit. Yeah we'd like to start by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Tell them a little bit about your background. And your current role as the chief data officer for the state of north dakota. Sure sure well. Good morning everyone So my my background is You know went to college. Got a degree in computer science mathematics and then when often like everyone else When i lived in saint louis you. It was kind of a requirement. You had to work for mcdonnell. Douglas which is now boeing corporation. So did that for it. But but then after a while Got got involved in consulting and worked my way up through the Consulting ranked says developer and they as a project manager is the data architect the solution architect and then finally got into a position of driving business intelligence and analytics for a couple of large international consulting firms where ran their north america. Big data and the i practice And the great ride. A thoroughly enjoyed all of the things we did. I think we added a lot of value to Our customers which was private industry And had great teams Had a strong onshore team strong offshore kimes and delivered a lot of value. But i think two years ago Over two years ago. When i applied for this position as the chief data officer At first i really didn't want position Didn't like the idea of state government state government has has a bad connotation Of kind of a nine to five job And a people people who just weren't really motivated to To move the world change the world and my boss who i interviewed my off. Now the cio. Sean reilly Who i interviewed with his his final comment to me was well. I can't pay what you make today. But are you wanna paycheck or do want to change the world. And i had never thought about life that way. Never tried to change the world and So i decided to take on this opportunity This was the first chief data officer position for the state of north dakota so there were a lot of unknowns Certainly certainly my presence Was a bit chaotic for the organization. Because i came in with a completely different agenda and completely different way of looking at the world through the eyes of the pillars that are assigned a line to me which application development and automation. And the second pillar is data analytics data science artificial intelligence and had some very different opinions about those things. And how we might move those forward So as i became involved with this role i became an. I had made an assumption that every state had a chief data officer come to find out there are only twenty seven of us out of fifty states So it's it's an interesting It's an interesting mix of of individuals who are chief data officers and getting to know them is. It has been a really amazing opportunity because they have such a very backgrounds and they bring such such different perspectives to cheap date officer role I like to joke and tell people that the last thing i focus on data which is obviously not true but but my real focus is really around cultural change within the city physician and what that means in the context of not not necessarily data. Because i have to executives are on my team who Are just are just brilliant at running the operations and managing the two pillars within my organization. My my role is really focused around partnering with the cto or chief customer success officer and our chief information security officer around. How do we do. We changed the nature of how we use data. Let's make data usable As you can imagine in in state government As in as in any organization that i've i watched through in my thirty two thirty three years of of doing this kind of work I hear the same three things. My data quality is bad. I don't know where my data comes from on my business on excel spreadsheets That that mantra exists here We're slowly changing that. I think we do a better job than a lot of industries and and other groups that i've seen At corralling that at changing that culture and focus focusing people on actually being us data. We've got a ways to go but in the two and a half years since i've been here I think we've made some some great strides in the way. We're starting to us and think about data. Yeah that's really interesting because it's a little surprising. Only twenty seven of the fifty states have a chief data officer gets formally defined although it actually see officer role itself is fairly new so maybe not totally surprising. I'm wondering what percentage of fortune one thousand companies. I'm hoping it's much higher percentage but also people may not be aware that you know. North dakota has a pretty deep technology bench. I mean you have a governor there who who basically joined great plains and road that company gigantically and became chairman of the board last seen and lots of other companies. That's a pretty fairly interesting technology bench. And i think that's really really neat That we have technology roles that are that understand the role of technology and understand the nuances of data And i think that's fantastic and you actually shared some of those insights at an ai in government event that we ran last month december twenty twenty. Which is available if you go to a i in government dot com and you look for the past Episodes if you will the past sessions december We had a great panel of chief. Data officers of which doorman was part and he shared. You shared some really interesting insights into With your experiences as a chief data officer for the state of north dakota so for those maybe on the podcast that we want to encourage them to watch that that full panel or maybe provide a little bit of insight. You know maybe you could share some of those things that you shared with us if you can remember some of those great things about the experiences of of being. Ceo at the state.
