Thank you for listening.

Now live from the civic media studios in Madison, Wisconsin, where the political party is just beginning, welcome to the Devil's Advocate's radio show.

Friends proving its never personal only politics.

And now here's your host, Dom and Crout.

Welcome back to the Devil's Advocate's radio show The Humpty Edition, a partisan primary.

Hangover edition right here in the great state of Wisconsin and Dom, we gotta find guests.

He joins us, live via stream, he's a podcaster, he's a pundit, he's our pal, Bill Press.

Bill, welcome back.

Hey, hey, hey guys, good to see you, good to see you, how about it?

It's pretty exciting, heading for Chicago.

Yeah, maybe.

We are heading down the DNC just around the corner of Bill.

Kamala Harris is breaking my brain though in this regard.

Kamala Harris is gonna do a rally at the Pfizer forum, the site of the RNC convention in Milwaukee Tuesday in the middle of DNC week.

And while I think this is political brilliance, sort of involving Milwaukee in this greater event.

Absolutely.

It all outfits like civic media, you know, trying our best to cover it all.

Bill, I don't know how I'm gonna pull this double header off on Tuesday, but I'm gonna try to do it, man.

Welcome back, Bill.

What do you think of this bright idea?

I think it's smart, but it's gonna.

It's gonna.

No, I think it's a great idea.

And you know what?

She'll have a bigger crowd in Milwaukee than Donald Trump.

Probably.

Well, isn't that the object she's seeking?

I mean, Trump's whole reason to come to Milwaukee was to troll the fact that DNC never materialized during the pandemic.

And, you know, what a flipping of the script that would be Bill.

Yeah, I love it.

I love it.

But so how far is it from Chicago to Milwaukee 90 minutes from the Pfizer to the United Center door to door.

All right, then you.

All right, then you just take a quick trip to Milwaukee.

Do your thing and then come back to Chicago.

If she times it out properly, I'm all down.

Bill, I love your plan.

I was just telling Rich, I love when a plan comes together.

Here's Bill press on a Wednesday afternoon.

So Bill, I think there is lots of excitement for this candidacy.

This entire campaign has been turned on its head.

And we see polling now suggesting.

Harris is winning the swing states, including ours here in Wisconsin.

And when they go to the polls, it matters.

Bill, we had a partisan primary last night.

Republican supported constitutional referendums.

The hamstring, the Democratic governor, were defeated 58 to 42.

Wow.

Tammy Baldwin got 600,000 votes.

Her Republican opponent who actually had primary opponents got 475.

You add them all together.

They still lost a Tammy by 50,000 votes.

And they had a contested primary.

Bill, I see these all is very good blue tea leaves here in Wisconsin.

Very good, very good signs.

And look, in Arizona, a pro reproductive choice, right?

Measure is going to be on the ballot in November.

There are seven states so far since, since adopt decision, where pro choice.

People have put measures on the ballot.

Every single one of them has one, right?

It's the best thing for turnout.

It's an issue that women Republican and Democrat care and men care about.

And they've all proven successful.

And so that's going to really, that's great news for Democrats in Arizona.

I believe there's already a measure in Missouri that's qualified the same thing.

So far, it's seven to zip, right?

And the Republican side, the Trumpian side, have lost every single one of them.

So look, things are looking, things are looking good.

I mean, I know you can't take it for granted, but I don't know anybody who is.

Nobody's taking this thing for granted.

So 100 days, it's going to be hell bent to the leather, every one of those hundred days.

And I, let me say, I'm feeling that we could take the table, take the table.

Hold on to the Senate, pick up a seat or two, win back the house and Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace in the White House.

Absolutely.

And the Republicans that I've talked to this had lunch with a senior reporter today.

I'm not going to give his name, who's very, who covers Trump a lot.

And he said they are really having second thoughts about this whole campaign.

And they realized they got one big problem in 2024, right?

It's the candidate.

And they're stuck with it.

They nominated this nutball for the third time.

Imagine how the third time they can't come up with anybody else in the whole freaking country to represent the Republican party.

Then this phony lion races, whatever you want to call him, Donald Trump.

It's well, it's unbelievable.

There's a reason for that.

You know, maybe he's very representative of what the Republican party has morphed into this mega party, man.

You know, you know, brought over and changed and body snatched or they've been ostracizing basically kicked out a mega.

Yeah, no, that's right.

No, he does absolutely represent the mega movement, right?

101% and anybody who supports him, I think, is as guilty as he is of all the, all the above sins, right?

Absolutely.

But, but the idea that that's what the Republican party has become is really tragic.

And I think they deserve to get their asses wiped out total.

That's the only way to beat them.

Just wipe their asses out, knock them off the map, political map.

And then, you know, if there are any responsible Republicans come back, I thought Chris Sanuno was one.

But he's just as bad as Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz and Mark Rubio and all the rest of them now.

But if there are any responsible Republicans come back, then they can come back after eight years of Kamala Harris.

Folks, you're listening to the devil's advocates.

Ready to show this bill press.

He's our friend.

You can find him on Twitter at bill press pod.

Bill, the, the rambling interviews of Donald Trump is the seal on Mustang, the, the moral logo thing, the things that, you know,

Donald Trump continues to say, and I saw your piece at the hill, the fake helicopter crash, right?

I mean, these lies in false statements.

He continues to make all Kamala, Kamala Harris is, is, is AI for crowds, right?

I won the election in 2020.

He goes on and on and on.

Is this a mental lapse in your mind bill or is this a strategy or both?

Well, first, I got to say, so I was in the San Francisco Bay area last weekend when the Willie Brown story hit.

Good timing.

Good timing.

You know, nobody messes with Willie, man.

I got to tell you.

I was with the reporter on my podcast.

I was interviewing Joe Carapoli from San Francisco Chronicle.

He's the guy he's watching the news conference.

For whatever reason, he just saw Trump might say something about Kamala, the San Francisco district attorney, right?

California's attorney general.

California's US center.

And he hears his story about Willie and he knows Willie really well.

He knows where his Willie what time it is and where Willie is.

He's having lunch at Sam's grill.

So he calls it on the stuff.

And Willie says, hey, dude, I'm having lunch, right?

I'm not going to call me back later, right?

I calls it after lunch.

And Willie just laughed and he refuted the whole story.

As we know now, Donald Trump, he confused.

Willie Brown with Jerry Brown.

So he confused the black brown with the white brown.

He accused the helicopter ride that it turned out did have some trouble.

He was going from New York to Atlantic City with a different black politician by name, a Nate Holden, who's from Los Angeles.

By the way, nobody confuses Nate Holden with Willie Brown because Nate Holden is like six two.

And Willie Brown is about five feet.

So it was, he got everything wrong.

And then the idea that he said Willie or Nate was trashing Kamala Harris.

First of all, when Nate Holden took that helicopter ride, Kamala wasn't even elected to anything, right?

So they didn't talk about Kamala and Willie Brown never been in the helicopter with Donald Trump.

So he wasn't trashing Kamala.

I don't know where you saw John Stewart.

I'll get back to rest of your question for John Stewart who said, now we're supposed to believe the helicopter's gone down.

They're facing imminent death. They're going to see their maker.

And Willie Brown says, wait a minute.

Before we die, I just want you to know that girl I used to date.

She's no good.

I need, I need to tell you that before I meet my maker, right?

It is so crazy.

I love it.

But is it a lapse of temp, a momentary memory lapse?

Absolutely not.

I think this guy is totally bonkers.

Seriously, I think he's lost it.

I did a podcast, I think six segments three years ago with a group of psychiatrists leading psychiatrists.

They published a book called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.

And this was right after that.

They tried to get a mental capacity test of his before the 2020 election.

They failed.

So they wrote this book and they all said this guy is unfit to be president of the United States, right?

It's just gotten worse since then.

As you point out, look at the statements right that he's made sense.

He says Joe Biden going to show up in Chicago and steal the nomination back from Kamala.

He also says it's unconstitutional for Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee, right?

I mean, so suddenly he cares about the Constitution, right?

15,000 people show up with their cell phones or taking pictures of the Detroit airport.

And Donald Trump says, none of them were there.

There was nobody there.

It's all, I generated.

I mean, you go on and on.

And yeah, so he's having a news conference tomorrow.

Because the last one went so well, right?

The Willie Brown destroyed the last one.

He's going to the golf course for this news conference because apparently the four seasons landscaping was already booked bill.

But you go on.

Did you say he said Venezuela has released 70% of its prisoners and sent them to the United States to vote in this election.

I mean, seriously, we have an insane man, I think.

He said he's going to, if he doesn't win the election, he'll go to Venezuela and do another interview with Elon Musk.

There was no extradition laws.

Come back with us in our fine gas.

He is billed press.

He's a friend of ours.

He's a podcaster.

He's abundant.

Any rights frequently at the hill.com.

I find his opinion pieces there.

You can find them on the other side of this short break right here on the greatest radio show ever.

We like to call it bill.

We're not wrong.

It might be true.

The devil's advocates.

The fix for political junkies everywhere.

And welcome back to the devil's advocates.

Radio's no callers.

Be patient.

We will get to you.

844-967-2789.

Down we got to find gas.

He has billed press.

He's sticking around.

We appreciate you doing so, Bill.

I don't know what you know, but I feel like Trump's

and fat Elvis version of Trump.

You know, he's sort of out of new ideas.

But he did roll one out in Nashville today.

Apparently somebody gave him a miniature box of tic-tacs.

So he held up a normal size box of tic-tacs in a little one

and said, this is inflation.

And I'm thinking for a guy who's got a reputation of tic-tac

and up before he sexually abuses women.

I don't know if I'd use that as a prop at the campaign rallies.

What do you think, Bill?

What?

Listen, the more he makes a total fool of himself,

the better as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not surprised.

You know, again, he doesn't get it, right?

I don't know what plan he's living on.

But one thing I want to mention earlier,

I just have to say this.

I think personally that J.D. Vance looks a lot better in drag.

Then he does when he dresses up for the U.S. Senate.

And you know, think about when you look at the old pictures

of Ivana Trump,

and when you look at the pictures of Stormy Daniels,

and you look at the pictures of J.D. Vance and drag,

there's something going on here.

Gentlemen Patron Bloss.

There it is.

There it is.

It's the Donald Trump type.

And J.D. Vance fits the bill.

Right, man.

Little did we know.

I just.

What, you know, what's strange days, Bill?

You know, I remember like when I was growing up,

like if you, if you had pictures of yourself passed out

or you're in drag,

and these were things that would ruin someone's political career.

And, you know, people dressing drags.

Oh, what?

And you know what I mean?

Someone that vibes in college.

So what?

But back in the day though,

that would, that would be disqualifying

for, for serious political consideration.

Nowadays, especially on that side,

I mean, at least the dams, I mean, people are human, right?

People do things, Bill,

and, and the party can, you know, kick them out

or whatever the case may be.

But it just seems like the,

the bar has been so lowered with this mega crew.

It has.

And you know what?

I don't give a right to ask of J.D.

Dressed in drag on Halloween up at Yale, right?

It's just funny because they make themselves so,

you know, morally above all the rest of us, you know?

I'll tell you one thing.

You will never see a picture of Tim Walls in drag.

I can, I can, I can guarantee you that you will not see a picture of Tim Walls.

You'll see whether a hunter's hat cap on or something.

Yeah.

I just saw something flashier that maybe you talked about this.

J.D. Vance and Tim Walls have agreed to debate on October 1st.

Is that the Fox News debate?

What's that?

Where is that being held?

I don't know.

I just saw a headline flash on my, for my screen.

All right.

That's news.

Bill, you're breaking it for us.

Breaking news.

So if that's so, man, I can't wait for that debate.

That, that, that, that, that's going to be,

that's going to be worse the price for the mission.

As is the debate with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

October 1st on CBS News, apparently,

according to the Fox lies website.

And September 10th will be the debate between Trump and Harris.

And Bill, what are your odds that Trump will drop an inward

in the middle of the debate?

Because she was so frustrated.

Oh, first of all, one of the odds that he will show up.

I guess he will, because he really does think he's good at,

at, at, as a debater.

Let me tell you, Kamala Harris.

She is a force of nature when it comes to interrogating people

and not taking any crap, right?

I, I, I, she will wipe the floor with Donald Trump.

And when she starts laughing at him, Bill,

I think it's going to be disarming because she will come off his joyful

and he will just fume.

He will just be so angry, Bill.

You're going to see the beans pop.

Oh, yeah.

I just hope she says, okay, here we are, Donald.

Say it to my face.

Yeah, right.

Tell me, tell me that I'm not black, Donald.

Tell me I'm just pretending to be black, Donald, right?

Tell me that you agree with JD Vance that I'm a, not a real American.

I'm a lesser American because I don't have my own biological children, right?

I just have two great stepchildren.

I mean, she ought to go after him and repeat him.

Everything, everything, all the personal insights, the insults against her.

I think she ought to put them right in his face and make him respond to them.

Well, he won't, he won't know what to do.

Bill, well, she called him a fell into his face because that's the,

that's the punchline I'm looking for.

I hope she does.

You know, Joe Biden did, but he didn't land the punch, right?

Uh, when he said the only convicted villain on the stage is one I'm looking at.

Um, I think this, and we haven't heard, by the way,

we haven't heard enough that as much as I thought we would hear about.

What I think is a great tagline for this campaign, the prosecutor versus the felon.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, I mean, I, I gotta tell you, you've probably seen as I have,

there's so many commentators now saying, oh, Kamala Harris,

she has to lay out a 90 point plan on every issue.

Come on, get out of here.

To me, the difference is a difference of personalities between, between the two, right?

Uh, we know what Kamala says. She basically stands for, she believes in climate change, right?

Uh, she believes in, uh, minimum wage, she believes in lower prices.

I mean, she's, she believes in, uh, the Affordable Care Act that we got.

She believes that not putting right wing extremists on the Supreme Court.

She believes in reproductive freedom.

We know where she, where she stands on the issues.

I think the difference is not in terms of policy,

it's a difference between two personalities, you know, one, I think is normal.

And the other is just basically weird.

Bill press at Bill press.

Pause.

Just over a minute.

Bill, uh, tomorrow, um, sorry, next week, look forward to seeing you in Chicago.

You've been to a few of these band.

We got Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Others are going to be speaking.

Uh, what's your expectation?

Uh, first, I think Monday night is going to be St. Joseph, right?

To say all the great things that he deserves about Joe Biden.

And then I think Thursday night, Wednesday night with Tim Walls and Thursday night

with Kamala Harris is going to be one of the most exciting moments of any convention ever.

That's history in the making.

I wasn't going to go this convention.

I'm going to Chicago just for Thursday night.

It's going to be a great moment.

And I think we're going to see a huge bump after this convention for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.

And Bill press, you will leave a little time on your calendar to party with the devil's advocates, right?

No, no, no, wherever you guys are, I'll find you.

And I'll be there.

We'll have fun.

All right.

Excellent.

We might even drink one together.

You never know.

It's Chicago.

It's legal.

Bill, all I can say is today.

I'm saying yes to everything, my friend.

All right.

We'll see in Chicago next week.

See in Chicago.

All right.

Folks, the rest of you better stick around.

More devil's advocates.

Time for your calls.

844-967-2789.

When they go low, we get high.

The devil's advocates.

Welcome back to the devil's advocates radio show the hump day edition.

A happier, happier hour.

Always happy to see our friend Bill press.

He's abundant.

He's a podcaster.

We'll hopefully have him join us during the big DNC anchored coverage that Dom and I are going to provide.

Next week, you can listen.

Wherever you normally listen, we'll be anchoring the in the city broadcast for WCPT 820 AM.

Our friends in Minneapolis will hear us on KTNF 950 AM.

And of course, check your local civic media station.

We'll be broadcast in there.

7 to close each and every night.

Monday, St. Joe, Tuesday.

Kamla's rallying in Milwaukee.

And they got to fit in a Bill Clinton speech, a Barack Obama speech, a Hillary Clinton speech.

Hell, there's a lot of speeches.

And then Tim Wallskits Wednesday night.

And of course, Harris gets Thursday night.

Dom, we will be there each and every night broadcasting bringing you there.

And if I could pull it off, I'll do a double header on Tuesday.

I'll see Kamla in Milwaukee.

And then we'll do the DNC coverage in Chicago later that day.

It's going to be a busy week.

The political God shining upon the greatest video show ever done.

That was like a lot of work, Rudy.

It does.

I had a little brush with greatness today.

Or per capita.

Every day, three o'clock when you come on the air with me.

I was going to say, perhaps someone in the community did.

I saw UW volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield.

And I was pulled into a parking lot, trapping off my dry cleaning.

He was picking up.

You know, big, big weekend Chicago got to have sport coats them.

So you've got sport coats.

I don't know if I got that memo.

No, I don't support.

How about a collar shirt?

How about?

You know, I got the one with all the rock and roll stars on it that were the amongst us.

That's a colored shirt.

Well, just, just pull out your word every collection of suits.

The collection of concert t-shirts.

I went and saw the struts last night.

The rave.

Ma'am, bring a t-shirt from that.

Well, as long as you're properly attired.

What does that mean exactly?

Is that mean pants and flip flops or what?

I would expect no less from you.

Eight four four nine six seven two seven eight nine.

Let's, let's take Dick from Madison.

He has been a patient soul.

Dick, welcome back to the show.

What he got for us.

Hey, Dick.

Hey, guys, I wish I could ask Bill, uh, press this button.

Back to Trump briefly.

Now that he's up to 12 states that don't want him to come because he owed the money.

And this is not getting personal, but it's very sophomoric of me and that's me.

But, you know, some names for him.

I came up with.

How about WB dead B dead beat Donald.

Oh, there we go.

He does.

I mean, literally, how can a billionaire all like, you know, the city of Green Bay, you know,

$20,000 for the extra cops or whatever it may be.

I mean, I'm not saying that's another, but it's not a lot of money if you're a billionaire.

But it, you know, it certainly is something for the local taxpayers who got to put that for you.

Correct.

And how about free paid Donald.

And then what?

I prefer COD Donald.

Yeah.

Yeah, there you go.

But how about this one?

He's constantly hammering on illegal immigration.

You know, and saying, you know, they're drawn this.

Well, what about deadbeat campaigners?

Right.

Who just can't.

Yeah.

I mean, across the board, this guy is a total deadbeat.

And that's not saying anything about his physical appearance.

I think.

And she won't go there with the lock him up.

But how about deadbeat Donald.

I mean, it works for me, Dick.

I like it when the candidates are a little bit above.

Maybe give a little hint of the of the pettiness.

Because, you know, they sure got it coming.

But, you know, that's not the way we want to do things.

I think generally speaking, you know, leave the name calling generally to the Republicans and to the devil's advocates.

We'll jump in there and do that.

Thanks for the call.

And we appreciate it.

844.

That's kind of my name.

Name.

Call of an eight.

Well, I, you know,

I got momentarily distracted to finish the thought my brush with greatness.

UW volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield.

I had him parked in.

He was trying to enter a dry cleaner.

And as I mentioned, I had to get my dry cleaning.

And then we got on the tangent.

But so, you know, I like had a block.

He didn't know whether to cross or whatever.

And eventually I just stopped and let him cross.

And I see him inside.

And I say coach.

Fan.

Really appreciate what you're doing with that program.

And he looked at me.

And he didn't return the favor.

Didn't say I love what you're doing with your program as well.

No.

No, no, no, no.

Well, I'm not wearing a Badger hat today.

Maybe he didn't recognize me.

It's like saying, oh, I love you and you'll get.

I like you back.

I want to throw this one out there before we run out of time.

It's been a jack show Rebecca Cook.

Kristen Lierley Bill press.

And of course, you our fair audience.

Now is your time to pipe in 844-967-2789.

I got to thank the Wisconsin Democratic Party for this one.

I got an email list.

They sent out these, you know, they're the press releases.

And one of them had.

Press release regarding.

And it had a link to a Washington Post article that I did not see yesterday.

So I'm going to bring it to your attention.

And here is what how the Washington Post describes this article.

Wisconsin GOP Senate hopeful says Obama tried to stir anger over race

before elections.

Yeah, the angry black man.

Eric Houghney, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Wisconsin

from California has accused former president Barack Obama of using conflicts

between police and black men to try to generate maximum anger before elections.

Houghney made the comment in a podcast interview with conservative commentator Chris

Salcedo that was published Tuesday.

The two were discussing the backlash that some Republicans have faced for suggesting

that vice president Kamala Harris who is black and Indian American was picked for her job

because of her race.

This is what Houghney said.

It all started with Obama.

You know, the black president.

Obama ran on hope and changing bringing us together.

And then he used to race as a tool and a weapon.

And he was fined six months before any election.

Some incident between the police and a typically a young black man.

And then they would whip it up to create anger in the black community.

Now, Houghney mentioned as examples, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, and Trevon Martin,

two black men and one black teenager who were fatally shot.

Houghney said it was, quote, always an incident sometime in May or June.

Because it was about six months out so they could get maximum anger generated.

Now, as the article notes here, the deaths of Gray, Brown, and Martin occurred in April of 2015,

August of 2014, and February of 2012, respectively.

Brown's death in August of 14 was the only one that occurred within six months of a major election

in November 2014 midterms.

And Obama urged calm in a statement about Brown's death.

Here's what Obama said at the time.

We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.

Yeah, the angry black man, you know, like, what do you say here, man?

Like these, these, these young black men, a couple of my, I don't know if they're police officers involved,

but what they, they martyred themselves for the political cause.

Or is it maybe that's just like, you know, at the time, let's the young black on our manner

getting killed by police, you know, maybe that was, maybe that's happening statistically too much.

Obviously, or, or it could be what a plan by Obama to gin up angry black people before an election.

I mean, it is, it is such a disingenuous and ignorant ignorant racist.

Maybe statement common observation.

The guy is not a serious candidate.

You can't possibly think that that's, that's, that's the way it is.

That that that somehow a political candidate is going to what try to have people murdered murdered on their behalf.

So they can gin it up.

I mean, he's putting it out there like this was Obama's plan.

And if it was a plan, if it was a conspiracy, certainly those who were murdered would have to be part of it.

Or at least those that did the murdering.

I'm not, I'm not exactly clear what Eric Houghty is trying to say here.

But it's just another example of him being not qualified for any elected office.

Just because your rich bitch doesn't mean you're qualified.

No, you misconstrued down.

I've got to be reporting from the panel Sentinel only contradicts that cinema.

Oh, okay, enlighten me then, please.

Eric Houghty says he'll outperform past Republican candidates in liberal bastion Dean County.

Good luck with that, Eric.

Yeah.

I'm telling you, I will make it my life's purpose to make sure that does not happen.

And you're still going to lose the Tammy.

Perhaps by 10 points or more.

I'm seeing it in the Lee Vookberg like performance.

But here's, here's what's written at the journal Sentinel them.

Republican US Senate candidate Eric Houghty says he expects to fair better than Republican Senator Ron Johnson.

And Republican former Kubanatorial candidate Tim Michaels in the Democratic stronghold of Dean County in the November 5th election.

Now, he, he apparently thinks so down because he lives here.

And Tammy Baldwin spends all her time in D C not look good at beach.

Weird.

Isn't that where her job is?

Now, Houghty made his comments to reporters Wednesday following a whist politics event at the Madison club.

The real estate and baking mogul said he sees boosted voter engagement as a positive element in his race to deny Democratic US Senator Tim.

Lee Baldwin a third term.

Here's his claim, dumb.

I'm working hard.

Do I think I'm going to win the Madison area?

No.

But do I think I'm going to compete better than Senator Ron Johnson or certainly better than Tim Michaels was able to in Madison?

Of course.

I was born here, raised here, lived here a long time ago.

That's not exactly what I said.

Born here, raised here, given to more charities, dumb.

I've had my business here for 20 plus years.

Johnson, who won the 2022 race, had more than 68,000 votes in Dean County, Tim Michaels, who lost, received more than 62,000 votes.

So we got a benchmark at least.

All right.

68,000.

In comparison, Johnson's Democratic opponent, former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, got 231,000 votes in Dean County.

Tony Evers had 236,000 votes in Dean County.

I'll take those those odds, HUDV.

As he enters the sprint towards the November 5 election.

It says here, Michaels, I'm a little thrown off.

I got to think they mean HUDV said his plan is to work, work, work.

Although I can see why they would confuse candidate HUDV with the failed campaign of Tim Michaels, you know, because they're on the same trajectory at this point.

Here's a quote.

They got it right in this vote.

Talk to people about the issues that matter.

The economy number one, the border number two, health care crime, HUDV said.

Now, HUDV declined to answer a question about his net worth.

Oh, I'm rich, bitch.

No, he did not answer as such.

I'm answering as such.

But according to his financial disclosures filed last month, HUDV listed assets between 195 million and half a billion dollars down 564.5 million,

much of it in Madison and Milwaukee real estate holdings, corporate securities, and stock in sudden Westpank, the Utah based financial institution for which he is chairman and CEO, his liabilities in mortgages and lines of credit range from 11.6 to 53.3 million.

So he's still in.

Now does that include the millions of dollars that was reported by political pro public.

And Bermuda and Bermuda.

I'm not sure.

I'm not going to get into that question is what would be answered.

Why would I?

Why would I?

I'm successful.

You know, an American part of the American dream is to be successful work hard.

So I've worked my tail off.

I've been a workaholic.

I've taken an enormous amount of risk.

And what have I done with my success?

I built homes all over the world, rescuing and saving kids under slavery, sex trafficking.

It's amazing how you guys don't talk about that.

If I was a Democrat, you'd be talking about that all the time.

Wait, what?

If, you know, he did good works as a Democrat, that's all they talk about.

But he's saving kids from sex slavery.

In response to what's your net worth?

I'm rich.

And I saved kids from sex slavery all over the world.

That was his response.

Hey, all the drill.

Who do you think I am?

Any questions?

Successful.

Give me the answer.

They wish.

I'm rich, bitch.

That's the answer.

Come back.

More devil's avkits.

Less wealthy.

We're radio holists.

Let's go.

When they go low, we get high.

The devil's avkits.

Welcome back to the devil's avkits radio show.

Our last segment of the day.

If you got something to say, hit us up on the lines right now.

We'll look at you eight or four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine,

down a little bit earlier.

We had bill press on the show and bill broke some news to us.

A vice presidential debate.

I got a campaign solicitation from the Harris Walls campaign.

Boy, I can't wait to debate this guy.

Michael, it just agreed to debate JD Vance on October 1st.

That's news that bill press broke to us.

What was what was the platform if you recall?

I think it was CBS October 1st, a vice presidential debate.

Boy, I've got to tell you I can't wait to debate the guy.

JD Vance shares Donald Trump's dangerous and backwards agenda for this country.

Hacker even wrote the forward for the architect of Project 2025 agenda.

I'm going to do my best to make sure everyone watching her debate knows just that.

And then Tim goes on to ask me for a little more money than I've already given.

Now that forward that that was written by JD Vance for this guy.

Apparently that book has been delayed.

They're not going to put it to print before the election.

The JD Vance forwarded book or written on behalf of the Project 2025 guy.

I'm less clear on the publication dates down.

I'll try to get back to you on that.

I've seen I've seen reporting that it's been delayed.

It's not coming out quite yet.

844-967-2789.

Chris from Rice Lake.

Welcome back, man.

How you doing, Chris?

Hey, Chris.

Good. How are you?

Excellent.

I am doing pretty damn good considering this state has shown me all indications.

It's getting ready for a blue wave, Chris.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, just keep that underneath your head.

I got to keep my balls head under my hat, Chris.

But I get, I get your point.

I don't want to jinx it, but please continue.

Do yourself a favor and let everybody know where you're supposed to meet this bill press in Chicago.

Okay.

We don't want to, we don't want to, you know, mix up like we had last week or two weeks ago.

Amen.

Forever more Chris.

I will have in my mind party with Chris at the wig.

But that night it just escaped my brain.

Yeah.

So hey, I'm really glad about our Rebecca cook.

I hope she, uh, I hope she uses that videotape of, uh, Van Warden pushing or, you know,

getting pushed around by that little, uh, lady that was a foot and a half shorter than him.

And probably a hundred pounds later than him, you know, getting hit checked by that, uh,

that lady that jumped in front of line and then, yeah, that was political violence.

Do it.

I mean, what a, what a, what a, what a terrible situation, Chris.

Um, I really love the fact that we have these kind of big bully,

boisterous, middle aged old white men, you know, talking about Van Warden going up against Rebecca cook,

talking about Donald Trump going up against Kamala Harris.

Uh, I cannot wait to see their reaction on the stage when they actually have to face.

Uh, in real time, uh, one of the people they would normally try to intimidate and harass.

Yeah.

It'll be interesting.

I don't even think he'll debater.

I think, I think, uh, Van Warden is just going to kind of, you know, skate around the edges.

I mean, that, that district is so gerrymandered, he almost can't lose it.

You know, he'd have to, uh, you know, really do something awful.

Well, I mean, he only won by like four points last time, Chris.

And that was with no D triple C, uh, you know, focus or, I mean, that was kind of a written off race.

And, uh, Van Warden's so bad.

You know, I mean, even some conservators got to be thinking, man, this guy really representing us.

I mean, that gets busted, carrying a load of gun onto a plan E yells at it, you know, kids at the capital party.

He's in the, in the, in the, in the office, at least alleged by the cans left over in the garbage.

You offered crudey's wife or a staff did a beer at nine a.m. Central.

I mean, that's a good Wisconsin hosting.

I guess, uh, but he is a terrible candidate.

And he skipped out last time, Chris.

He didn't debate.

And he got away with it.

So maybe he'll try again or, or there will be so much pressure on him.

Uh, he'll have to, if he, if he's really concerned about winning this race.

My understanding of D triple C has about four million dollars earmarked for now Rebecca Cook's campaign.

Or at least to benefit to lift her campaign to crap on the Van Warden campaign.

And, you know, I think that's earned.

I think Van Warden earns any, any crap that's thrown his way.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, he's not, he's, he's not like.

Don't know the man.

All I can, you know, what I read about what I see.

When we, when you have a young lady who's, you know,

100 pounds or 50 pounds lighter than you.

And you, and she bumps into you and hips checks you.

You're trying to button front of her.

And you claim political violence.

You claim political violence.

And this is that, you know, after, let's think about the time frame here.

This is after the assassination attempt on Trump, right?

I mean, talk about, talk about going to the edge, man.

Can't, political violence, because you were the one being a jerk.

And she didn't let you be a jerk.

Well, don't, so she don't forget to you and code pink lady.

Yeah.

Sat in holding for like 15 hours.

Yeah.

Oh, she sews his ass.

I hope so too.

That would be a little too.

Eric, I'd be like though.

He's suing everybody these days.

Hey, you know, he Van Warden caused.

That woman's incarceration.

Or at least her detention for 15 hours based on false claims that can be proven by.

The cops video.

So yeah.

Sue is that you got 75 grand or at least your fine attorney did on your behalf.

What you had to share might of lead with him.

But for like 30 minutes.

Believe that they should multiply that out.

She should not see.

She should get millions.

But of course, that wouldn't come out of Van Warden's ass.

Well, thanks.

Thank you to all our fine guests.

They included Rebecca Cook.

She's running in the third CD.

She's a fine candidate.

Dr. Kristen Lierley.

She's running in the eight CD.

She's a fine candidate.

And bill press.

Our buddy party.

Buddy bill press will be partying with him in Chicago next week.

You can listen.

We'll be playing across the civic media network on WCPT 820 AM and KTNF 950 AM.

We'll be doing all your DNC coverage.

And maybe Kamala DeBoot.

Thank you, Rich.

Thank you all for listening.

Have a great night.

Thank you.
