Visit youLine. comot The Mark Belling podcast is a production of IiHart Radio podcasts One of the problems that a lot of Americans have, including a lot of us on the right is that we just can't Fathom that lefties will do what lefties say they will do I've been going through this For decades If they say they're going to do something, if they get power, they do it Yet we have had this notion For the longest time that there's some sort of guardrail, there's limits, well, they won't do that. And indeed, for the longest time The Republicans were more moderate than they are now, a little bit more. The Democrats were certainly way more moderate than they are now And there were limits as to what either side was going to do. As far as the leftft is concerned, they're all gone. Now as we dive into this topic, I'll explain why they're all gone We're going to start with this premise and I'm going to deal with this manifesto that's out and now from several House Democrat caucuses. If they get power, they're going to do what they say they're going to do These aren't idle threats And The radicals now control that party It's not a foregoing conclusion that they will take it over But it's trending that way.

Political is not a conservative site Wans left. Big news site that covers things in DC And there's been some reaction to it, but I don't want to poke into it here because of the ramifications. of this You don knowt The Democrats now are all these groups. That's all the party is. It's the group of this, the group of that, the group of the other thing. So in the house They have all these caucuses. There's this caucus and that caucus. Anyway, a number of them have been working on A resolution They actually think these are selling points And the resolution deals with all of the things that they will do if they gain power, if they gain control Political story indicates Part of this is in response to the US. Supreme Court decision, which narrowed the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act. In any event, quote here from the pololitical story the resolution obtained by Politico calls for the expansion of the Supreme Court and to establish term limits and a code of ethics for justices. And let me pause Why term limits See? This is the thing that they really want Republicans have controlled the White House about half the time in my lifetime. The thing of the presidency is it's gone back and forth and it's really gone back and forth throughout our history You know, the Democrats held it for a long time when Roosevelt won In thirty two, they held it for twenty years until Lisenar w in fifty two. But basically, we've gone back and forth forever and The Supreme Court In an attempt to make it less immune to political pressure, The justices are appointed for life This sticks in the craw of the leftist They can't stand that there are any conservative justices. so when a Republican gets in and appoints a conservative justice They're stuck with them By putting these term limits in place They're able to roll them out. Now you could argue that if the Republicans win more national elections than conservatives that this's going to actually work to the advantage of the Republicans We've seen in recent history that when the Democrats win, they always win a second term The one exception on the Republican side, two of them really. The first Bush lost his reelection in ' ninety two to Clinton And then Trump, Trump disputes this. He lost his First time he ran for a second term in twenty But when the Democrats get in, they serve for two terms It's really been that way ever since Truman left office Kennedy one and then Johnson one and sixty four Carter was an exception, but that was such an unusual exception. Jimmy Carter was such a terrible president, and the country was in such atrocious shape that Reagan got in than you know, Clinton served the two terms, Obama served the two terms. Anyway, that's the first part. the second. The code of ethics. Now again Some of you are on the right fall for this crap The code of etthhics means They now have grounds to remove ajice And trust me on this They'll come up with anything on any justice. You know what they made they've been making the mistake all this justice took a flight with this one and this one did this thing over here. It's again, all an excuse when they control the government to remove a conservative The manifesto also calls for elimination of the sixty vote filibuster in the Senate. Trump has been pounding the Republicans in the Senate on this. They currently control the Senate The filibuster is in place And Trump keeps telling them the next time the Democrats get the Senate, they're going to get rid of the filibuster. No they're saying it. There it is No again, these are house Democrats and they don't control the Senate But when you see them putting this stuff out there, that means this is what the agenda is going to be And in modern history of Democrat politics When they lay out an agenda of things that they say that they're going to do When they get power, they always do all of it If anything, they go farther than what they say they're going to do We face this for forever this well, they'll never do that. I remember when they were starting to when I told the audience about the trolley in Milwaukee They're going gonna rip all the streets up and they're going have this train that's going to move really, really slowly and it's going to go actually in the traffic lanes Well, they're not going to do that. They're not going to do that. They're not going to well, then they did it. Then I talked about how they were going to takeake all the streets downtown, turn them from two lanes to one and have the lanes veer in and out. so you have to keep shifting lanes, all the attempt to slow down the traffic. and then they're going to put in these concrete bump out curbs to separate bike lanes from the traffic. Oh, they aren't going to do that. They aren't going to do that Then they did it And people, they hear me talking about this. now these they're still doing it to all the streets. I think they're working in Oklahoma now. Silver Springs's getting sumhit anyway people who don't live in the city Think it down to real says, What's the deal in the streets? Have you not been hearing me say? Yeah, well, I heard you say that, but I didn't think it was this bad Remember when the trolley first came in? there were people that we had And then it started. And I told them how terrible the whole thing is. And then some people come downtown and they'd see the thing for the first time and they could not believe it. And they'd said to, Mark, I saw this, I couldn't believe. What did you think I was saying? Well, I didn't think it was going to be that bad It's always that bad. When they started saying in liberal cities, especially on the West cooast that we were going to do nothing to induce homeless people to go into the shelters, but instead, we will provide them services on the street. They did that And the next thing, you know, some of these cities have between fifty and one hundred thousand people on the street. It's hard to do a headcount given the fact that it's hard to count people that are hiding laying underneath a bag There they are Th then another question that I get I'll get the Y question. Why do liberals think this will? Why do they think? Why do they think? I mean, these are people who going to universities. Why would they believe this? And I've tried to give you the answer to that. But again, people have a hard time accepting the answer because they're stupid It's not complicated. Anybody who would believe any of this stuff, anybody who would want to bring in socialism after socialism has been a nightmare everywhere it's been tried on the planet has to be stupid They have motivations within that stupidity, but they're stupid The other parts of the resolution We're calling for expanding the size of the United States Supreme Court Perhaps all the way to twenty two Now why would they do this Currently, there's a six three conservative majority and many point out that two of those six are rather wobbly. I think what we have right now is a moderate to conservative Supreme Court They don't like this If they get the White House and control the Senate, They're simply going to add a zillion justices so they can pack in ten twelve of them One wonders if if they do expand the court, if they put the term limits in. Chances are they would not do the term limits if they could pack the court. if they end up with say, a fifteen to six majority on the court. They probably wouldn't put term limits in. There is also talk of giving full statehood Puerto Rico NDC Now why would they do that They've just added four Democrats seats to the United States Senate. Every state gets two seats DC already has electoral votes, but Puerto Rico does not territories cannot vote in presidential elections If you made Puerto Rico a state, they get electoral votes in addition to the fact that they get the two senators and they get the House members, either one or two, depending on the population there What this all is obviously is and attack a democracy. They don't like what democracy has given us now. And we know what democracy has given us now a country in which half the states seem to be run by Democrats, half are run by Republicans, and there's a handful like us. that are sort of split What we have now is occasionally, the Republicans control the Congress, occasionally, the Democats control the Congress Occasionally there's a Republican president, occasionally, there's Democrat president They don't like that They don't want what democracy produces. They want total control To do some of these things would have to change the Constitution, but most of them not There doesn't appear to be constitutional language that would stop them from expanding the Supreme Court And there's nothing in the Constitution that stops them from granting statehood DC is in there in terms of const it's established constitutionally, but there doesn't appear to be anything that would stop them from granting it statehood if they chose to do so Whenever the left Dreams that our side, the right, is doing something Again, this holds always It's that's the thing they're doing Whenever they warn about extremism They're being extremists When they talk about hate speech, they're the ones that engage in hate speech And when they talk about threats to democracy, it's because they are threatening democracy. My side is the one that wants to make sure that everybody who votes is legally voting and wants to make sure that the elections are on the up and up They don't like that They won zero checks on voting That's not pro democracy. That's pro cheating in elections, which is The antithesis of democracy So anyway, they've got this manifesto And it's laying out what it is that they intend to do And once they get all of this power, they intend Yeah The Marxists take total control of the Democrat Party They intend to socialize America All of these wealth taxes that they say that they're going to do. Nationalize all this stuff They're going to do it. The people in Venezuela, which had a thriving capitalist economy strong with because of oil and so on. Hugo Chavez and his people when they got in power They nationalizeed the oil industry They let the drug dealers do whatever they want. country went to hell Anybody they would not have done that If you were around in the late nineteen fifties, which I can't say that I recalled them When Ce Gavera and Fidel Castro wanted to overthrow the Batista government in Cuba Oh these these millionaires, you know, the poor people aren't getting anything They went and stole everybody's land, stole everybody's money They started to kill anybody who was objected to this. Well the Cubans who had a freedom and had a money left fled the country. Cubbe has been a rathole of socialism ever since and The rights were repressed. and that's what will happen here. The rights are repressed because Once the people who voted in the socialists recognize what a stupid thing they did and what a disaster it is They tend de vote them back out. So you've got to make it impossible for them to be voted back out Socialist governments have a tendency to never have fair elections In South America, we've started to see a significant turn the other way Many have pointed out that When USAIDs programs, many of them were cut off. That's when Marxist started losing elections in Latin America So much of this money was being spent on political activism by radicals that once they lost that money and conservatives had a fair shot They started winning elections such as in Argentina and a couple now in Central America let me get back to this point that I've been on for a few weeks here The fascinating decision of almost all mainstream Democrats to not fight back against the Marxists who are taking over their party. I'll use as an example. use, I suppose any of them. Hmy Baldw She's really liberal But she doesn't appear to be a Marxist. They'll come for her Look at New York state In the most recent election, the House Democrats that they knocked out and instead put in the Mamdani socialists. Every one of them was extremely liberal They just weren't Marxist They all lost their jobs. they lost their careers. they're done. Those districts are like eighty five percent Democrat districts. There was zero chance a Republican would ever beat them The only threat to them and their power is Marx is within their own party Yet they're going down with how to whimper in twenty twenty. Bernie Sanders comes right out and says he's a socialist was the front runner for the Democratic nomination for president The fact that Sanders was winning was telling you that that was the turning point in which the radicals had actually become more than half the party But the pragmatic Democrats knew that the rest of the country was not ready to elect an actual socialist that all Trump running for a second term had to say is this guy's a socialist. So they had to stop him And they stnacked the deck. They forced everybody out of the race. They went to South Carolina and they had the leaders of the party all endorse Biden figuring Biden's been around forever. Nobody thinks he's a socialist and It was to their advantage that he was a vegetable by that point because they could run the government without him knowing what the hell was going on. And they stopped him The government was run radically under Biden because Biden was not in a position to know what his government was doing But they did know that they had to stop the socialists Times have changed Wisconsin is such a perfect example right now The front running Democratic candidate for governor and in the Democratic primaries in a little over a month is a Marxist She may not use that word, but she does use the word socialist And she has said she's an anti capitalist. You can't be more socialist than opposed to capitalism. She has said she doesn't want any prisons She's Francesca Haan in most of the polls and there haven't been, in fairness, a lot of good ones. She's front runotning Poles have Mandela Barnes. It doesn't appear to be a socialist But there's a lot of baggage running second. If Hang wins the Democrat primary and she gets elected governor She will be the most leftist governor in the United States of America And they will move as fast as they can to turn us into Oregon, Washington, and California Because I know a lot of Democrats, I'm telling you, many of them are terrified about this They don't want to lose control of their party And by the way, that would mean they lose all their power too because the Marxist clean outouse and put all their people in. But Look around you in Wisconsin. What opposition is she getting? There's seven Democrats running for governor that you can't I have not heard a peep of any of them attacking Francesca Hung for being a Marxist. So I get this and a lot of these Democrats will mark, we're not Marxist, We're just Democrats Okay, you got this Marxis over here You say you're not a Marxist. Get the argument going. Lay out your vision of a non Marxist Democrat and attack her for being a Marxist See, this is the thing. I started this discussion with the guard rails that were in place. It was only so far to the left and so far to the right that you could go And the guardreels that stopped the left from going too far were in the Democratic Party I've given this example a few times, but why not do it again First big threat. to the United States in terms of us going socialist was after World War two. There was a significant communist movement in the United States People think that Joe McCarthy made all of that up Joe McCarthy may have had tactics that were not justifiable and may have claim he had a bunch of names when he didn't. But there were people who were publicly Marxist. Remember, Russia was an ally of us My necessity. in World War two And after World War two When they cut the deal to divide up what was left of Europe in which it enfabbled Roosevelt. He was not the president when the war ended, but they had the conference at Yta prior to the end of the war. and they cut the deal and the Russians will essentially and next Eastern Europe The Soviet Union would gobble up territories and Russia would control them and then other countries that would remain semi sovereign would be under the thumb of Russia Theres still a lot of people here in the West that thought that was a great and wonderful thing The first election post Roosevelt was forty eight. Truman came into office when Roosevelt died, then there's election in forty eight. The Democrat Party stampped out The Marxist The regular old Democrats perfect example of that would be Truman himself Cuman was the vice president He's a regular old moderate to liberal Democrat. Garden variety for that era of the nineteen forties The rest of the Democrats, the Union movement in America America's Union movement until recently has never been socialist. TheFLCIO, you go back into the nineteen sixties, they were the pro Vietnam War, all that stuff. They believed in workers' rights, but they were not socialists. They were capitalists They wanted the the people who own the companies to give more of the money to the workers, but they did believe that the company should be making money. They believed in that part of it TheFLCIO in the sixties was adamantly anti communist And what happened was the communists were turned into a marginal fringe pack For the longest time there was a Communist Party USA it would run candidates for president. Then there were other socialist parties, the Socialist Wers' Party, the Socialist Labours Labor Party. And they'd runing candidates and they'd all get like one tenth of one percent of the vote. That's all it was becausecause they were stamped out by the regular Democrats There'd be people on the right who would say, A you Democrats are socialists, and the Democrats would always say, no, no, no no And we'll prove it. We got these socialists over here. We'll stopem And they dead. So the Democrats were on the left, but there were limits as to how far left they would all this crazy stuff they're talking about. Now, they didn't do that then. Why didn't they pack the Supreme Court? They controll the House of Representatives for nearly I think there were a couple of years it was it's like thirty years. I think the entire nineteen sixties and seventies, the House was Democrat. And the saidate for most of that time The Republican leader of the House was always the minaority leader. I knew one of them, Bob Michael from Peori, Illinois You might have known that name here from Illinois, D you ever hear, Bob Micha Yeah,' an old bull old bull Democrat, you know, happy as it can be to just be in the minority therein. have this little pompous ineffectual power and all of that They had it forever. So during that time that they controlled the House and the Senate and had the presidency for half the time, they didn't do any of this Marxist stuff Well, Jimmy Carter is today beloved by the leftft. When he won in seventy six, he ran as a moderate to conservative Democrats. Here's from the South H's the governor to know own there after Lester Maddox, an old and olded segregationist What we have now is a regular Democrat party that will not back against the Marxists within their own party. Interesting story that's developed over the weekend. Josh Shapiro, the goveror of Pennsylvania He clearly wants to run for president in twenty eight trricky thing here for Republicans to know what to do about this If Shapiro wins, it would be a good thing for saving the country from Marxism because Shapiro's not a Marxist. He's just a liberal Democrat He's in the same variety as what used to be almost all other Democrats. Pirro Over the weekend Rip The New York Democrat Marxist in particular A villa Chevaler She's the New York Dem who won a host primary. radical She's to the left of AOC. when I say that, that's not hyperbole. She's to the left of AOC Shapiro specifically went out and targeted her and then said, there's a battle for the future of the party So Shapiro has figured out his strategy for running in twenty eight. He's going after the Marxists and he's going to try to take this campaign national. and he's banking that the majority of Democrat voters are not yet Marxists He recognizes AOCs probably running thought that many on the far left believe is If you have Shapiro in there If you have Newsom from California in Maybe be sure of Kentucky, you're going to have three or four regular Democrats and then the far leftist one, AOC, she's going to have the entire leftist vote. she'll sweep to the prriimaries Well, anyway, Shapiu has decided to be the first one to jump in there and attack The far leftist Democrats It may work When Democrats have tried this When a Democrat has gone after the extreme leftist elements in his party, it's generally been a him who's done it The old sister Soljia they refer to the sister Soljia moment in which disconnectccurred Jesse Jackson famously Once attacked the farire left of his party, Clinton did it several times But again, that's when the overwhelming majority of Democrat voters were not actual Marxists We're seeing what's setting up here for twenty eight with Shapiro running for president And in order to get there, he's going to have to defeat candidates to the left of him and He intends to do so by saying I'm a candidate from the middle. I'm not a Republican Trump all that. They're terrible But I'm not a Marxist But here in Wisconsin, where we have a governor's election this fall. You have several non Marxist Democrats running for I would say Sarah Rodriguez is very liberal, but not quite a Marxist David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, very liberal very ineffectual. but not a Marxist Joel Brennan, who had been the hope of the centrist Democrats Clearly not a marxist But you've got Klde Royys over there who's close to Marxist and Francesca Hang who is But what has not happened People keep saying, well, it won't happen until we get close it to the election. Well, we're out five weeks There's been no attacking of numberum two candidate Barnes for all of his skeletons in his closet And there's been zero attacking a Francesca Huan I know why they're not doing it. They're terrified of the left wing of their party. These people, the Antifa crowd, these people are vicious You've seen how they've gone after conservatives. You've seen how they've gone after Trumps You've seen the kind of demonstrations. You've seen their open willingness to endorse violence I think they're afraid to do it. They're afraid to be on the receiving end of criticism from within their own party the left wing of their party But if they don't do, they're gonna lose And then we'll face the showdown. You'll have Tiffany the Republican running if she then again she wins against an openly Marxist candidate and Haw. Many Democrats believe they should roll the dice the ones who are really ratic Rule the dice and do it for Hong because this is expected to be nationally a big Democrat year and just the anti Trump thing that will carry her in and then they've got the state And they can make us the model for Marxis again, there's so many people, I know this. listen to me right know, oh, they won't do that, they won't do that, they won't do that. I don't know what it is that these lefties have to do to convince you that if they get power, they will do all of this you ever think California would be running around with millions of illegal immigrants openly taking advantage Of all of their benefits that you'd have people whizzarding and crapping and puking on the streets in San Francisco and being givenat a nice pat on the head for doing so Would you have thought that the state of Minnesota wouldould simply let Somalians come in and scam the social service systems and make hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars Everything they say they're going to do, they're going to do I remember another one. I've gi another one. This isn't so much socialism, but it's extremism There's actually if you want to Google this stuff up, you can find proof of the point that I'm making When the Sah of Iran was overthrown by the fundamentalists The Ayatolla Komeni was Komeni, not the one who was just we just killed Komeeni. Komeeni was the first one There were a lot of stories in the Western media, especially the New Yor Hes, Newrk T times it's just uncanny ever has gotten the big turns in history wrong You can even go back to the early communist movement in Russia The New York Times reporter who covered Moscow, as it later turns out was on the tank. He was he was actually a Russian operative But they were reporting,, this is going to beonderful. it's not going be bad It's not going to be bad. It's not going to be bad. They're stalling cracking down and killing everybody and throwing them in. It's not going to be bad Anway when The Shael and the Ayatll and the fundamentists came in. This is before they took the American hostages There are all these reports, Oh, they're much more moderate than you think. These are reasonable people They've tried to sell Hamas and Hezboahiz that The myth of the reasonable Marxist I'm sure back in the day that There were people in the United States who just assumed that after Castro w there'd be free elections. The churches would continue to operate. There'd still be hotels, there'd still be freedom Well, they'll never do that After the political report of this manifesto that I mentioned a little bit earlier. Trump weighed in on this A lot of people don't like the fact that he's way in out of During the Fourth of July celebration on Friday He took shots at the so called social Democrats and socialist Democrats,ote are theseese are not social Democrats. They are hardcore godless communists They're godless communists I of people say, oh, that's just Trump being Trump How many of these people on the hard, far left believe in God? And they're certainly communists. You go back to the principles of Karl Marx, you go back to the original communists, everything those people believed in, that's what the left is touting All communists are godless. B by the way, there's a reason for God and religion again is something that threatens them Communists want total thought control. They want control of everything they believe that they are right and it is in their best interest, the benevolent dictator We'll take care of you That's the one thing that the capitalist communists, the Chinese communists have in common with the other None of them believe that the individuals have any right to dissent at all Back to Trump They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence I would say this in the Civil War. When the South refused to accede to the wishes of the rest to get rid of their slaves And they fought a war It certainly was a threat to our existence because if the salted won we would have lost the southern half of the country You know, there were actually books written back when I was in college. What if the Sultt had won the Civil War? The question is how long slavery would have lasted? because Flavor is dying all over the world at the same time Let's imagine the Confederacy had won, the North said Uncle and The secession continued in the Confederate States of America just stayed and there was a separate country How long before they internally I think would have lasted a lot longer than people think All those states were Democrat, all of peopleople who voted against the civil rights legislation of the nineteen sixties, they' all Democrats They were segregationist, seegregationist governors were being elected as late as the nineteen sixties, Maddo and Georgia, I think it's seventy I think they could they might have kept slaves for a hundred years There's separate rogue country there down there. Trump is saying this is our gravest threat since the beginning of our nation. I'd say it'd be right there with the civil war This is the first time, however, that capitalism has ever been questioned in our country Capitalism and freedom are equated. You can't have freedom without capitalism and you can't have capitalism without freedom Freedom means the ability to go out there and make money and keep it It means that you don't have to give it all to the government. you don't need anybody's permission to go out and do certain things within limits It's been accepted generally by both parties too the point is I say, I mean, forever, even doing my show, Id call some Democrat would do something and I'd say you're a socialist. and they all deny it. It was the biggest slur And they went from Denying it, denying it, denying it to coming out to it openly at Vagigicut. And now Nobody in the party criticizes anybody else in the party who says they're a socialist Heo We're going to see this in Milwaukee. There's going to be one of them that's going to run for mayayor in twenty eight It might be Byan Clancy, it might be somebody else And he's going to run against little mayor Chevy or M mayor Kviller Johns One wonders Will Johnson fight back in Kell, Milwaukee Marxist will destroy our city, that these people are dangerous But with these rollover And when Ryan Clancy be the mayor of Milwaukee, all economic development will end twenty five thousand homeless people will be living on the street and the police will be under instructions to arrest virtually nobody, that it'll simply be what we have in Chicago where police aren't even allowed to chase where street takeovers aren't the occasional event. they're constant Don't know parallel topic here This is the subject of my newspaper column this week, but I want to address it in brief here because it relates The many people who have written, and I'm going to use Milwaukee for those of you outside of Milwaukee. As long as I've gott to use an example, why not use Milwaukee? I'm most familiar with it, and we have a lot of people who live in the area who are from Milwaue.way Milwaukee was a boom town. For the first half of the twentieth century if essentially was middle class America. And that's because Milwaukee was a tremendous industrial city. manyany of the big cities were Certain industries tended to be concentrated in certain cities g was steel, Detroit was cars. Milwaukee was beer and a lot of heavy industry Lots of stuff that were made with metal We' in Milwaukee Most of these factories were unionized. And because they were unionized, the wages and benefits were pretty dog on good All of almost all of those companies either left died or the jobs ended up being exported to Mexico and China few of the nam, Ao Smith was a big employer. That company still exists, but they don't do what they did Back of the day, Alice Chelmers American Motors at a car manufacturing company, Big planetal Numerous others that are still here have downsized. Briggs and Stratton Masterlock Even Harley Davidson is downsized. But that's in Milwaukee just factory after factory after factory after factory after factory after factory And many have pointed out, this is not a conservative argument. Many of the left have pointed out. that the economic problems that occurred in Milwaukee, which many people blame on All manner of things Well accurately point out that the city lost all of these manufacturing jobs, that it lost its middle class. And indeed, there is no middle class anymore in Milwaukee. There are well off people and there are poor people passasses for a middle class, there's some you know, on the southwest side someome on the east side, but by and large, it's a city of a few halves and a lot of hal nots And it's certainly true that the employment base is part of it. And that employment base shifted for a lot of reasons. Some of the factories wanted to leave because of the crime in the cities, but most of it was simply manufacturing jobs started moving overseas. The unions had priced themselves out of existence Company started making things in Mexico and then the Chinese thing occurred. You can blame Nixon for that. Nixon The United States had zero relationship and no trade at all with China. Nixon went to China. The lefties all love that. But with the Chinese, the relationship thawed And we gradually went to this period in which there was a lot of trade, which meant American companies had all their crap built in China and the stuff would be sent back to the United States. Well, this killed the manufacturing industry and the manufacturing industry was largely in the cities The other places it was was in the medium cities dotting across the United States, For example, Northern Wisconsin paper mills The manufacturing that stayed here has stayed and lasted because It's simply cheaper to make the stuff here than it is to put it on a boat and bring it over from China The backbone economically of a city like Milwaukee was industrial manufacturing And when it declined When the jobs were more office type jobs And they started to locate primarily in the suburbs. Look at some of the large employers that we had. But healthcare Healthcare another huge job provider Most of the big hospitals are either on the edge of Milwaukee or out there in the suburbs A lot of the big booming companies decided that they weren't going to be in the city Great Girths story in Milwaukee, Ffer based in Brookfield. It's now kind of all over the place, including New York, but Most of these jobs were into the city. Northwest are mutual is since reversed course But in the eighties and the nineties, they started to move outside the city for those of you new here this massive us kind of on the edge of Oak Creek and Franklin near twenty seventh and I think Rosson's the cross Street They had their big old headquarters in downtown Milwaukee, but the bigger newer, more modern one was out there in the suburbs And many people felt that they were simply going to move the whole company down there. Eventually they realized it's really stupid. They have some jobs here and some jobs there. They consolidated it and they consolidated it downtown The millennials created that millennials didn't want to live in suburbs, they wanted to live in the cities So you still have Northwestern Mutual, That would be industry isn't the right word. You can call, I guess, financial services an industry, but it's not heavy industry. It's not making things at their hands, it's not factories But the regular those jobs tend to be at least somewhat skilled. The regular oldl factory jobs in which the skill was a trade that you learn, you learn how to run this machine and work this machine, etcetera. They went away. I know that this is taking forever, but I'm laying the base to make a point here. So you end up with these cities And if you travel across the United States, most cities are like this. You drive through the central cities all these areas where the factories where it's just all empty lots. and then there's housing. a lot of the housing is subststandard and much of the housing is empty. I worked in Sain. Joe, Michigan in nineteen eighty I only went to Detroit, I think two or three times. That was on the other side of the state. Stain. Joe Michigan, straight across Lake Michigan Chicago. Stain Jo Betar Youave you ever been there, Jason Oh, Michigan City New Buffalo right below that. Staint Joe Bette and Harbor, Do you know about that that community est place in the world. They're twin cities. Stain. Joseph is like if you think Elmgrove here And Benton Harbor is one of the most impoverished cities in America It just yeah whirl Well, whirlpool's in Beton Harbor, but it's in the part of Beton Harbor that actually isn't the city of Beton Harb. It's like Northn anyway So Detroit was on the other part of the state for my job' a couple of two, three times I think I had to go to Detroit. You know, I'm exploreing. What do I know I driving my beautiful sixty eight Camaro convertible, which was actually a beater then I was driving through the just amazing. The auto companies had already begun the exodus You go block after block in the inner city, which was high crime and it was just there was tumbleweds going. It was like the desert Well this happened to all of these cities and The cities were harmed because The factories tended to be, as I said, in medium sized cities like in Wau, Wisconsin Rapids and so on. And then in the big cities, that's what they were There is an opportunity right now for them to come back At least somewhat We have a brand new industry brand new It's I'll use the term factories and explain it in a moment. Its factories are huge And he got to put him somewhere And you don't see a lot of factories sitting in a suburban community, factories of any type. You know, when Goodyear was having its rubber plants for us Goodyar they I write about that I mixed them up with Firestone. Maybe they're both there Ohio is a big state for for rubber. Anyway I'm sure they don't put them in whatever their version of Mechquan is of theeti. Just like Harley's Pences are mostly in the city, Matched elect in the city is now an industry that is putting up, I'll use the term loosely countries right and left And It's in land that would be conducive for factories because it used to be factories It's on land that's not quiet. It's a mix of commercial and residential And Lord knows there's a lot of land available, it's the dataents The data setters are the industrial revolution of the this century, the twenty first century They're going to be going up in the same way that factories are going up, putting up cars and making All the factories that were built between nineteen hundred and nineteen forty, it's the same thing with the datasetters obviously is objection. putting these data centers right next to where people live with the Power lines The use of the water backlash against it all over the place But those data centers would be a lot better for a central city of say Milwaukee than the abandoned nothingness that is where all of the old factories wentsewhere. and There would be an employment base that could come from the city Data centers are like everything else. Some of the jobs are skilled, some are unskilled There's still people cleaning those buildings and people working in the kitchens and all of that stuff one of the largest datated centers on planet Earth right now is in Southern Rine Cing There's been a little bit of opposition. A few people again are filing a lawsuit over this, but It went up with If opposition was on a scale of one to one hundred, one hundred is overwhelming, unbelievable opposition and zero is not a peep Looks like a four Part of it is the land was approved for FoxCon. They were gonna to do a data center. They're going to do manufacturing And while there was some griping over that because it was Scott Walker's deal, there wasn't a lot And once FoxCon fizzled, Microsoft just decided to take over the property and from the minute from the first word, they said we're going to do a dataenter And it was Tony Evers announced the deal. It was Lfty Everybody's kind of fine with it that they built the thing. There may be another one, but the first one is built out and Microsoft says that that data center center is essentially the most powerful supercomputer in the world There has been very little opposition. I didn't say none, but it's still been very little. partly because it's sightited well There is no housing right adjacent to it. When the Fox Con deal occurred, some of the housing was bought out So the housing is a relative distance away. When I say that it's in it's actually to the west of the city Just north of the Ran Kenosha County Line, I think KR is the name of the road there It's between highway eleven and there and A little bit to the east, in other words, toward the lake from the interstate, but well to the west of the city oferseid. So it's perfectly sightited. In terms of having a massive operation in which you can have all these jobs, all this money and now all of the companies that will develop to service this, You do the same thing in a city like Milwaukee In fact There is a tiny When I've seen the description of this, You know, it's the other thing people, particularly in leftist, as they say they're stupid They think every dataenter has to be huge. The dataenters is same as factories. There are tiny factories. Think at some of like the little machine shops that used to be one of the backbones of Milwaukee. Maybe nine people work there And then there's a factory like the old Brigs and Straton plant that used to have a couple thousand, three thousand The same thing is true with the dataenters. We have a property in Milwaukee that's been called midtown Way back when there was a shopping center there and after that went under a zillion. thirty years ago, forty, whenever what? twenty five Walmart came in. Then even had Walmart left It's right in the center of the city near Capel Dve. It's just sitting there nothing There's nothing worse in a central city than they have these giant empty lots of nothing They're having for people to go and meet up and do drugs or who knows what else Buildings are still standing. sameame problem that we faced at Northridge anyway The company has come in with a proposal to use that property for two things storage facilities and a very small dataet. Again You'll get leftty say, Well, this is not what we want. We want housing You may want all the housing that you want. You still need to have somebody who's decided I'm going to spend seventy five million dollars to put up this housing because I can make a buck If somebody could make a buck putting up more housing in the central city of Milwaukee, they'd putting up more housing in the central city Milwauke But let's go back to What Milwaukee was, It was an industrial city Now let me make a point here that's an outstanding point, as opposed to the other points that have merely been belling quality good. If today's lefties were around in nineteen twenty five They would have opposed Harley They would have opposed the breweries They would have opposed Alice Chalmers All those places were making stuff that added to the carbon footprint. We're making engines, we're making metal stuff. were're doing what they would have objected and bitched the same way they were to the dataentters Interesting, Milwaukee was run by actual socialists then, but those weren't the socialists of today. They actually understood the need for family supporting jobs and economic activity in a city. So the Milaukee Plan Commission, they openld a meeting last week and they they put the thing on hold. becausecause I grew up, they actually call themselves this socialist and Liberation, party for Socialism and Liberation They objected to to this data center Here's how tiny the data center is. We hear that these data centers use all this water Do you know how much water the data center in Milwaukee was going to use Five gallons. Whatr is that Why Well yeah, I think I go with that when I wash my clothes, don't I I certainly go to that through my showers, five gallons a day In other words, its footprint would be very small It would be just that. It would be a small Data center They're objecting to it And it probably won't happen And my guess is the same thing will happen all over the United States. We do know this. The data centers will be somewhere And certainly a lot and the data centers are like everything else. Everybody wants one six miles away, but nobody wants them next to them When the data centers come in Ultimately, they're going to result. certainly, a lot of these data centers will be automated. Just by nature, you're going to have to have a lot of jobs And a lot of jobs in areas that don't have anything to do with dataenter security. Landscaping plumbing services Food service, all the stuff that occurs snow, flowers, everything that you can imagine Think of all the things that serve, you know, any company Think of Northwestern mutual in downtown Milwaukee and the number of people who work there or work with them who have nothing to do themselves with life insurance or financial planning or services And my guess is the cities that are owned by radicals will blow it. And these things will all be somewhere. Hopefully they won't be overseas, but because if they are You know, we're talking about, will AI kill jobs or not? Well, we do know this The creation of storage facilities, tech facilities, data facilities and so on They will have to be the replacement. Just the construction of these things over the next ten to twenty years, you're talking about tens of thousands of jobs Most unionized. Not all but most The key in the data centers, as I've said, is You want to get as many of them as you possibly can because the economics are going to be outstanding. My guess is that in the end, almost all the data centers will be in the red cities, which will produce so much revenue that they'll have the ability to lower taxes even further And the blue cities will turn up their noses at them and they'll continue to have a bunch of nothing. In the same way Mandani is kicking all the businesses out of New York by trying to tax them to death. You're going to see communities like Milwaukee not embrace Well, we want a different kind of job. Well, if there were other kinds of jobs that were going to go into the hood in Milwaukee, they would have done it. Who do you think is going to go in there The advantage to the developer of a center is These are already properly zoned. The land is already available Going out and acquiring a massive amount of land on interstate ninety four at a conon and cost a fortune. The data centers inner cities of Milwaukee and Chicago would be cheaper I going to guarantee this att some point Common sense may kick in And some of the people who actually care about lower income people might realize that we're finally got to get some money plowed into our community Bite on this, but I think the likeliest scenario is if you have stupid liberals in charge, they're going to do the stupid thing and now All of the the squeaky wheel, the loudest peoplee they're the ones on the far left. The grouppss calling themselves socialists And the City Plan Commission, which is largely appointed by a mayor who isn't a socialist, they listed these nuts So they'd rather have gunshots and murders out in the midtown area and not punish anybody and let's have more reckless driving, but actually get some economic activity in there and some jobs and get some security in there and get some growth end Cate an incentive for somebody to bring in stores because people would be working in there. no, no no, we can't do that. This is And the small scale. Why Marxist always bring destruction They can't stand anything that makes money, but anything that makes money is all of the things that create a quality of life You are listening to the Mark Belling podcast. Charisma Customs in Delafields The sponsor. They're also where I took my car. They do a lot of things to make your car look really good and stand up to all that we have to put up with on Wisconsin Roads. The package I took included ceramic coating, which makes the vehicle look really good. paint protection for all of the chips and stuff that comes off of our roads wheel package and a tint job that adds to a little bit of privacy and security They handle all sorts of cars there from regular old family drivers to exotic spectacular cars. Anybody who wants to protect their car like I do, or make it look really good Like I do, check out Charisma Customs in Dellafield. They're right off the freeway, that's Charisma Customs in Dellafield. All right, so here's an interesting story for you on the Mark Belling podcast I said something. I think it was still radio show. I think it would have been last year Might have been the tail edit twenty five I said, I thought Electric vehicles in America had peaked the percentage of electric vehicles, let's just say I said this a year ago in July of ' twenty five, that that's the highest percentage that we would have that And I don't know what the number is it What do you think it is ten, twelve percent There's t there's there's Tesla' everywhere. I mean Tesla's are the two big selling Teslas is the Y and the three. They're both in the top five of fastest selling vehicles in the United States I thought it had peaked. that You would have people who would buy electric vehicles and most people would choose not to And I based this on a number of things. so many of the conventional manufacturers that were bringing in electric vehicle lines like Ford were shutting down their production of them The forty electric truck didnn't sell much at all Despite incredible hype Almost every automaker has electric versions of some of their cars But most of them sell very slowly It seems as though the the people who want to buy electric cars only want to buy them from Tesla. They don't want to buy them from GM. They don't want to buy them from Jaguar. They don't want to buy them from any of the others There other electric vehicle manu. I see a fair number of Rivs out there now. They make a truck and an SUV and they're coming up with a cheaper version of it, I mean almost any time it might already be out I'm seeing some of those Anyway, second quarter that's have to explain what the second actually economically, some companies don't go by the calendar, but the second quarter, Tesa's economic year is the same as our economic year. So April the period from April to June April first to june thirtieth Tesla's sales exploded Tesla had been flatlining or declining for about a year and a half. And again, part of that was When Tesla rolled out the mododel three and the mododel Y, they are the two most affordable. They call the Y an SUV, but it's not an SUV You know which one the wi is, don't you You consider it an SUV You consider the YNSUV It doesn't look like when they and that's what's an SUV? It somethings something that looks like an SUV. An SUV, in my opinion is like what a station wagon was except it's built high off the ground. and The styling tends to have You don't wantna SUP use. Anyway, the three and the Y are the most affordable of the Teslas and when they both came out and it was around the same time I mean they just sold these things like crazy Part of the problem was numumbers is once you have a huge percentage increase of something, it's hard, you know, You can still sell a lot, but it might not match the earlier ones. The percentage wise it goes down. So anyway, I thought it' peak And since nobody else other than Tesla is having a lot of success selling zillions of them And Tesla didn't seem to be all that motivated to upgrade their vehicles. I mean, the Tesla still look the same as they did when they first came out. I don't know why Musk doesn't change the looks. I don't know I don't know that Pod. Qarter two Deliver is which sales and quarter two jumped twentyw five percent And this is without there being the introduction of a new vehicle The Tesla cyber trruck which is a novelty, its sales are not huge Many people thought it was the key to the future of the company. it's just too weird of a vehicle I think to be a mass appeal vehicle. I said, when I'm in Florida, I just see them all over the place, but they're fashion statements. I see some around here The thing about one thing about the cyber truck is they don't blend in with anything. So if there's one around, you see that there's a cyber trruck around The threes and the Yes are selling like crazy. Well, what happened the last year? Gas prices spiked What else would explain this? Now part of it is Tesla's doing a better job now of selling their vehicles overseas. They're flumoxed in China. China trying prefering they're on. electric vehicles, their own EVs. stillill Oil prices spiked worldwide And when oil goes up, of course, gas goes up. and No one knows how permanent this spike is. I think not. Whether it is or it isn't It's the one thing that you could put your finger on as to why Tesla without introducing they didn't introduce a brand new brand new They still have the same five vehicles that they've had And the only upgrading they do is when they change the software. I mean, they don't haven't changed the look or anything like that. So without anything else ocurring, I'm just assuming that it's the oil thing. So if the oil Prices remain somewhat elevated, let's say above seventy eight dollars. if that's the norm Does that mean that there's going to be the greater transition to electric vehicles? Now, I don't have an EV I have a car in Florida and I have a car in Wisconsin and neither of them are an EV But I acknowledge I can't have one in Florida because I rent and I don't have a parking place with a charger and I just will never have an EV that I can't charge at home. I'm not going to stand by a charger for thirty minutes and watch the car charge up. If I can't plug it in at home I'm not going to happen. I could happen in Milwaukee. I've chosen not to, but I acknowledge EV's make in most cases, way more sense than gasoline powered engines You don't need an engine You need a motor. Now there's all sorts of negatives with the EV's, and that's the thing that's kind of stop people from getting them, including that if you do a lot of driving in an individual day or day trips and so on, they don't take you far at enough Here in our part of the country, the battery life is way shorter in frigid weather that it is say in Florida. and I suspect that's one of the reasons that I see them all over the place in Florida The vehicle simply runs longer because the weather is always warm and nice and just that and the other things. But If we're getting a reset in oil prices And the Strait of Hormz is a constant area of question, whichich again, I don't think it is. I don't think it's in the long term interest of Iran to block the Strait of Hormz because Iran needs to have its stuff running in and out of the Strait of Hormz So that my giant if if if is if oil prices stay high Electric vehicles might be starting a new boom again. To me, the whole key is BMW is now offering almost all of its vehicles an electric version of the same car, and they're not having a different name for them. Like BMW is rolling out. It's new X five. That's their biggest selling vehicle it's their mid sizeed SUV They're having an electric version of it. It looks almost exactly like the regular one. There's just the grill is a little different because you don't need an air intake Will they well, of the X fives they sell will two percent be electric O forty D't know. But you do wonder if Some of the people who are opening their minds to electric vehicles will start thinking beyond simply Tesla Or maybe a little bit of Rivia and a little bit of a couple of the others that are in there. The only other one, the only traditional manufacturer that I see a lot of their I see a fair number of Cadillac electric vehicles But again, I'm somebody that always looks And I'm still somebody that I used to say the only car that I would scoot down the road that I couldn't automatically I could I can you're not are you into cars at all Well, you are. I mean, I could when a car comes down the road, almost every time I know the making model. The I always said in the past, I was weak on minivans, but now that's not there's no the only minivan left is, you know, like the Pacific there's the Pacifica and Honda has the Odyssey and Chrysler has the Pacific. There's only two or three of them. so that's it a lot easier so I can Figure those up. byy the way, I've just the Honda Odyssey forever has just looked to me like a hearse it looks like a hearse, doesn't it He looks like you should have some dead guy in the back of that thing being Well, I clearly So you're a car guy too, then,h I don't know how to fix them or anything. I'm just into cars. Always have All right. And now, even if you know how to fix them, you can't fix them because you got to put a computer on it to tell you what it. And that's one of the things he was with electric cars. you can't work on the cars. Well, for the vast majority of people who don't want to work on their car, they want somebody else that you have to there's far less maintenance on them. The downside again to the EV is If it does break down Who are you' supposed to take it to? It's not like we have zillions of EV repair shops around all over the place next door here after Tulsi Gabbard left. Trump would Bill Paldi and as director of National intntelligence. and a lot of people criticize him because he doesn't have any experience in this area Let me explain to you why Trump put Bill Polty into that job because he doesn't have any experience in the area. Trump wanted his own guy in there. It's the same reason Tulsi had the job initially The intelligence community hated Tulsi Gavffard because she's anti secrecy Trump is not like the Department of and National intntelligence because he believes that all of these people are leftis who have conspired against him, that they had their fingerprints all over the lies about COVID, they had their fingerprints all over Russia collusion, all of it. So he's put in puly because he wants his own guy in there because he's cleaning house. and in fact, many people have been fired. There's a very interesting story here. It's been reported over the last few days Inclusion here is the Trump and Polty laid a trap for Hillary Clinton. Much of the intelligence community dates back to the Clinton era. If anyone has skeletons in their closet that they don't want coming out, it's the Clintons The Obama' too Anyway Colty was put in there by Trump He declassified like everything There were massive orders to take documents that were classified and declassify them There was a time that people on the left would cheer this because they were the ones that didn't like the CIA, they didn't like secrecy, they didn't like all this crap that the government was hiding. Trump told them to classify everything Hillary Clinton publicly came out and said Well, I think it should take your good good time about this to make sure you're not classifying things that need to be classified. In other words, wink, wink, not even subtle because Hillary has no ability to be subtle Take your good time doing it Now here's the story that's been reported in some conservative circles Pulty knew that's what Hillary would do So now in there is taking a look at the entire agency and seeing which divisions are slowest to declassify. They now know who's slow walking it, meaning these are the ones that aren't loyal. These are the ones that are covering crap up. That's why he put Pul it Holty would play ball on this The one of the issues that I think actually unites one of the few S the radical left and the MGa movement is neither side particularly likes all this secrecy going on in government. What the hell the government's been funding this side and the other thing And Trump in particular, because he realizes that they were working at odds with him. Quick coverage of this story There are some senators from both parties who are suggesting that we need to pass federal regulation requiring that any image that is AI generated has to be labeled as such Not not a supportive regulation. I not support of big government But I support this In other words, if there's a photo in the newspaper that's AI rather than a real photo, I think it should have to say AI As it is, if something's copyrighted, they have to put small types saying who it is. I think anything that's visually out there. a video? A still photo anything. that was created by AI should simply be labeled as such. And all it would have to be is This was created by AI I don't know. the content on YouTube, it seems to me now is half a almost all of these police videos where they do dash cam cameras and someone It's ninety six percent of the work is AI. Somebody somewhere has to make the open records request to get the videos. but they turn it over to AI. The narrator is AI, the editing is done by AI. It's extraordinary how much AI can do and video production in these infant stages of AI You used to have to have video editors to chop all this stuff up. now the AI just does it on its own I just think it should be labeled as AI And therefore, the grain of salt that you take anything with you can take with that What do you think, Jason? you with me on this or are you more of a libertarian? You're a big liibertarian guy. you know, you're not for this, are you I think that I'm not a big regulation guy, but I think If something's AI, just put on there that it's AI Jason said he almost got fooled by a video doing show prep today. I'm the most cynical person in the world. I've been sucked in once or twice, but hardly ever, but my thing is I'm so cynical. There are all sorts of things that actually are legitimate that I assume are not It was like, you know, remember Gadar when you could detect if somebody was gay before? I mean, most people aren't in the closet anywmore I claimed I had great gayar except I had way more false hits. I was like never surprised to find out somebody was gay, but I was many times surprised to find out that they were straight because I put them over in the is what happens when you're extremely cynical as I am. You just you get a lot of false hits on this stuff, but you don't like you rarely miss anything Like another one is I can compare it to horse racing I think I know who all the cheaters are. That means it to the point that I'm never surprised when somebody's caught cheating But I probably think that some people who aren't cheating actually are cheating. Same thing in sports with the steroids I felt I've always known. I was wrong about Ryan Braon. I didn't think he was Partly because he was one of the few guys I can think of that was caught testing positive for drugs, who didn't have the big head, who didn't have the over muscles. He just looked to me like the same guy that he' always looked like. He didn't have the body shape Now some of them were easy, even though people were in denial. I mean, if you couldn't figure out that you cubs fed, you Cubs and, tell me you didn't know Samy S Sosa was on steroids that it is hitting take hitting those numbers. And you know, Mcuire actually admitted, he said he was an Andste D own Andro. which has since been banned. It was legal then, but he came right out and said that he was on it Everybody's hitting seventy home runs and nobody had never done it before. What do you think might be causing that Like, I remember Flo Joe ended up dying of overuse of steroids. She's on steroid You know what she was. but people that I probably assume that are I mean The most obvious case in football that Packer fans can relate to is Tony Mandrich, who was the most dominant offense in Limon in college football and got to the packers and he was skinny as a run. I mean, he was like thirty five pounds once he signed his contract, didn't want to test positive and he came he ended up having tenure career in the NFL, but he was never that good because he lost all of his weight mass. The other obvious one. I mean, Walter Payton was on steroids. Who knows how great he would have been becausecause in that era when steroids were in their early, they were not only taking them, they were taking way more than you were supposed to and guys were dying. Walter Payton ended up jaing as Lle El Zado That whole era of the seventies and eighties was just steroid crazy Because nobody there was nothing was banned. Nobody really knew what they were and peopleeople were using them in
