in the morning on 92.7 WMDX
You know, we know it's going to get worse.
So we're sure.
But yeah, it's it's not a good.
It's not a good look to the rest of the world.
I don't you know having this guy this this this orange muffin get up there in front of the entire world Announcing you know his his big success in Israel.
Just was so embarrassing I mean just goes on and on and on just does not stop
Yeah,
He was actually told that he couldn't be there or else by another world leader.
Is that so?
Yeah.
At least that's what I read.
Look, you know, I don't talk about it very much because it's a ceasefire and it makes my blood boil that this was allowed to go on.
for so long and so many people lost their lives for so long.
And this is not a victory in any way, shape or form for me.
It's just, it's an acquiescence to violence.
And, and, you know, for me, it's genocide.
You know, we all
have our
My sons have convinced me of that.
I mean, they were very, very adamant about this a while ago.
They were really, really disappointed in Joe Biden.
And at that point I was saying, well, you know, it's, it's historical.
We never really draw a line in the sand for Israel.
We just keep giving them funding.
They didn't understand that they didn't want to go along with that.
And I'm with them on that.
I should have, I should have sided with them immediately.
Well, you know,
Yeah.
And then, you know, the stories of the hostages that were killed indiscriminately by the military.
You know, all of it is so nightmarish.
And now the woman who's in charge of CBS, her little network covered that war and made it seem like children weren't starving.
In Gaza it was just yeah, that's the kind of stuff we're gonna get from CBS now.
Yeah, it's not good
I mean, it's hard to believe it looked like that once a bustling city Yeah, and then it's just flat.
Yeah, rubble just rubble Wow Yeah
And they did that with a clear conscience.
You know, that was, uh, that was, uh, their, uh, their way of, uh, telling Hamas that, uh, they're not going to take that stuff anymore.
And they wiped out how many, I can't, what was the final number on this, uh, for the Palestinian death toll.
I just can't remember now.
Yeah.
Something like 60, 70,000.
I don't know.
I'm just guessing at that point, but I think it's a large number.
Yep.
70,000.
Oh, is it?
Okay.
Over 70,000.
Yeah.
Well, and... Well, that's another bright story to cover here.
Well, again, what I'm saying is that I don't like to talk about it because it's just a very big disappointment.
Yeah.
And, you know, everybody, for the MACAs out there who is celebrating this, this is another, you know, poke in the eye to the Democrats and liberals.
all right uh and and that's all they care about and oh boy another victory for victory for trump even though we allowed this to go as we did i got a story about that we're gonna we're gonna get into this a little bit um an audio cut of trump touting the wonders of weaponry uh we'll get to that and uh
Yeah, well, I was, I was stunned and shocked and thinking, wait a minute, we're only, this is a ceasefire.
And again, we'll talk about this a little later, but Joe Biden also had a very similar experience.
Of course, you know the Democrats never talked about it He had a hundred prisoners released Mm-hmm Which is a lot more and and had a ceasefire.
Yes.
Yeah similar to this oddly I didn't know about it.
I don't know if many people remember it, right?
Well
then we
aren't
They didn't put any at the bottom, but they put them all before the hill.
How's the space car take those space car space car bottom out or anything?
Well, pretty soon pretty pretty soon.
I'll be replacing the what the ball joints or whatever they call it.
Yeah.
I've had to
do that
uh, I have bottomed
there
it
that,
Yeah, that's what I always say.
Yeah, well.
Hey, weather for today looks okay.
It's a little chilly this morning, 45 degrees currently highs today in the mid sixties.
We'll see some sunshine this morning mixed in with some clouds and the clouds will be on the increase through the day.
Just a little while, we're going to talk to Lisa Bernard from the Dane County Humane
pet.
I don't think
sure about that.
keep all of them.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, we can't.
No, we will bring this up.
We rewind and race.
This portion of the show.
OK.
I'm sorry.
A little bit later on, we're going to talk to Amy Horak, too, from David J. Franks and Jesse Christensen.
We had him in them a week or two ago, and he's going to talk a little bit more about some of the cannabis laws

the big stuff, man.
It's kind of hard giving, giving the pianos away.
And I was not.
It is.
So yeah, people are giving them away.
I know when I had an apartment, I had like a 100 gallon.
fish tank and a 55 gallon fish tank.
And I thought, I'm not carrying these all over the damn place.
You know, I had to give up my hobby.
And, uh, yeah.
So.
Well, this is
right.
So, so there.
I'm not forcing you.
I'm not forcing you.
a really
table
all right trending we're talking about something trending here X Clarence Thomas clerk sounds alarm on expected Supreme Court moves He's a former clerk to Justice Clarice Clarence Thomas boy that must have been fun
It showed a detailed warning about the Supreme Court's accelerating push to expand presidential power over federal agencies coinciding with active cases that are before the court right now.
I know and I think everybody's probably aware of the fact that Trump is challenging all of these cases and taking him to the Supreme Court because he knows he's going to get a thumbs up.
been 100% so far
pretty close
It seems like
Never in the history of government shutdowns have we seen something like this.
to fund the
I mean, think about how absurd that is.
They control everything.
That video has become playing at airports across the country.
And if you're traveling, you'll probably see it.
We're seeing a similar blame game happening on pop-ups and all sorts of government websites that you log into.
HUD's website says that the radical left shut the government down.
You
can see on the screen.
The State Department's website calls it a Democrat-led shutdown.
The White House website has a banner that reads, Democrats have shut the government down with a little clock counting
the
seconds since the government shut down.
Now, all of that messaging, all of those posts on websites and the TSA video, all seems like it's pretty clearly illegal and a violation of the Good Old Hatch Act.
Well, you know, you can expect that from Portland the hatchback by the way prohibits political activity while on duty in a federal building or in uniform and ensures federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan manner
I'd say that hatch act is a big violation right there down the hatch.
No one's going to do anything
As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point, a dumbing down, until humanity was incapable of solving even its most basic problems.
This is grade A weapons grade stupidity.
Just doing my civic duties.
We can duck and cover.
There's a fall each other right there.
There's no way
Idiocracy.
For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes.
All right You know big brother got the upgrade, you know, what do you mean?
So the scariest thing I saw was you know in the movie
One battle after the next now a lot of people that I know are going to see that and they just love the movie just love it It's it's hard to believe that when you see all different scenes like in previews and ads Yeah, it's hard to imagine that that's gonna look good in the movie But it all works so well and it is just amazing but
One battle after another.
Yeah, one battle after another.
And you see the military be able to track down anybody they want so easily because they have access to all the data.
Well, you know, starting in December, Amazon's ring cameras will scan and recognize faces.
And if you don't want to be in the database, you'll have to avoid all the ring doorbells that you might come across in your daily life.
How do you do that?
You don't.
That's too bad, you know?
You walk past a ring doorbell and your face is suddenly there.
It's now recorded, recognized.
Do you have a ring doorbell on your hand?
I do.
I have ring doorbells all around my house.
Do you really?
Wow,
I used them for cameras.
Okay.
So I put them on each side of the house and when people walk by it alerts me and I can see who's out there.
So you just get a like a phone notification and yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It's pretty cool You can turn off the notifications by the way and I do but You know, I've got a lot of rain cameras and I'm thinking oh, no.
Oh, no, they're really gonna know who I am
off so
Yeah.
It looks like it's like, you know, eight inches thick when they pull these masks.
Well, wouldn't their head look extra large with those masks?
I would think.
Yeah.
But anyway, uh, you know, surveillance society, that's what it's come down to, right?
Um, now.
If you want to start up a political movement, just stop Trump's authoritarianism.
Well, guess what?
They've got facial recognition on ring doorbells and they know who you are and they can track you down just like that Wow, oh, I don't even want to bring up the NSPM 7 that they now put in place You know the national security presidential memorandum 7 and with rings facial recognition and almost everyone in the country Getting their face recognized Trump has three more years to track you down my friends you So
Get those windows tinted on your car Wow
facial recognition I think you I yeah, I honestly don't think you can turn it off obviously you need it to see who's there and What's going on it kind of defeats the purpose of a ring doorbell if you can't see who's there
Well, I don't know.
Here's a former Major General Randy Manor on the real enemy within because, you know, I'm bringing up, of course, NSPM 7, which is a minority report set up by the administration who wants to go out and arrest all liberals if they disagree with anything the Trump administration wants to do in this country.
They want to arrest you because you don't agree.
And this is again, Major General Randy Manor, his perspective on who the real, the real enemy within is.
An out front now retired Major General Randy Manor.
He served as the deputy commanding general of the U.S.
Army.
I know as you have thought about this push for a random lie detector test, polygraphs, you're concerned it could create the basis for false accusations.
It basically means that you no longer can complain about people who might have corruption or are doing things that are illegal.
This appears to me to be an administrative
that is running scared.
The president talked about the enemy within.
The enemy within is not in the military.
The enemy within is not the American people.
And I'll let it to the viewers to decide where the enemy within is.
But it's not us, and it's not the American people.
Kind of to the point.
Who is he talking about?
I don't know.
Man, I don't get it either.
All right.
Well, let's get into something else a little 1984 stuff again.
Um, and many a son actually posted this.
I thought this was really interesting.
Uh, he says, this is fascist intimidation.
No other word for it.
And what he's talking about is a Christie Nome who is really good at this.
Um, she warned Chicago and, uh, she said, we're here for you.
And this is cut 60.
Let's listen to Christie Nome.
These are, uh, soldiers repelling down.
Yeah.
This is a video they released.
Right.
I guess to instill confidence in all of, uh, American society.
Great.
And again, she says, Chicago, we're here for you.
And that is the accompanying video that went with it.
it
The state of emergency is in America, not Chicago.
And it's birthed from this president and his administration.
Dr. King said he could not raise his voice against the violence of the oppressed.
without having first spoken clearly to the greater purveyor of violence in his own country.
And those are my words to you, Mr. Trump.
Before you dare speak about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror and address the violence coming from the White House.
The violence of cutting SNAP, which will cost $2.4 million in food access, would 360,000 Illinoisans at risk by taking food off their tables.
Address the violence of cutting medicare and medicare by $500 million, reducing access to doctors and threatening the closure of hospitals and nursing home facilities throughout the state of Illinois.
Literally putting Americans in life and death
Some Americans will die because of your Medicaid process.
That's powerful stuff.
Of course, you know, you put music behind anything and it sounds incredible, doesn't it?
I have this quote Pedro Campos.
I'm not quite sure who he is, but I thought the quote fit found this in the story too.
It was when tyranny is law Revolution is order.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it flips the whole thing on its head.
Doesn't it?
Morning guys
I think the enemy within is uh, the president's fouls because apparently He's wearing diapers all the time leaving shit stains Yeah, he sounds like a bumbling idiot, but uh The militarism is really an issue.
I remember after iraq they kept bringing back all this military hardware for our police and law enforcement to play with and
It was bound to come back and bite us in the butt, you know,
Cuz it's the only thing America makes of quality anymore is the weapons So it's a big jobs program the Pentagon waste billions every year We all turn our nose at it.
We don't know what to do about it.
It keeps certain red states afloat, you know making missiles and ammunition
deadly back in World War two warned about that, you know, the military industrial complex.
We can't afford health care because we're making bombs.
yeah, how do we get out of it, you know?
Yeah, it's crazy stuff.
Thank you, Matt.
All right, Matt.
Wow.
I appreciate that call.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Pam Bondi had a message.
Oh.
I know she is also one of those people that just scare the daylights out of me.
So she was not happy with her portrayal, by the way, on SNL.
Oh, on SNL?
Yeah.
I wonder why.
It
know, it's just
And
and looking down and sideways at her quip that she wanted to present to these individuals who were interviewing her.
She is really a case study.
Anyway, one of the most frightening propagandist messages I've seen since World War II is a surreal White House video vilifying
anyone opposed to fascism.
Now, again, this is that fascist movement, isn't it?
Yeah.
Um, and, uh, I guess, you know, well, we don't have time for it.
No, we don't.
But, but
I can
What's happening here is they're looking after.
individuals who might be challenging their fascism.
And of course, they're looking for anti-fascists now.
And that is why they're building up to that.
They definitely want to make sure that they're going after everybody.
And so, you know, we'll get to this next hour.
All right, we'll do that.

of two mules, trains
So we recently received a grant from the ASPCA's the rescue effect, and it's allowed us to reduce fees and waive fees for some of our animals.
So right now, all month long throughout October, we've waived the adoption fees for all of our Lonely Hearts Club members.
And as they're getting adopted, we're adding some more to it.
Gotta check back, check the website, because there's a few more animals available there.
So, our first cutie is Mopsy.
Mopsy is a one-year-old lop-eared rabbit.
And she's just gorgeous.
Like her photo doesn't be her justice.
She's beautiful.
She's different shades of dark brown and light brown.
Like she starts out darker on her face.
And then as you're going down towards the back of her neck and her chest, it's a lighter brown.
And then she darkens up again.
She's just gorgeous.
But she was surrendered to us earlier this month.
Apparently her family, one of the kids started having allergies to her.
So she is very curious.
She's friendly.
She's not a big fan of being picked up, but I think a lot of rabbits get a little nervous about that.
She does enjoy when you sit on the floor with her.
She likes that a lot.
Yep, to just hang out.
And she also likes receiving gentle pets when she's feeling calm.
She loves to munch on her lettuce, carrots, and berries.
And then she's also lived with children, a dog and a cat, and she did very well with them.
Yeah, so she's looking for a patient family who will continue to work with her.
She needs help improving her litter box skills.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's there.
Are
the Dane Gardian
Whiskers is an adult black cat about nine pounds.
He was transferred to us from another overcrowded Wisconsin shelter last month.
When he arrived, he had some upper respiratory issues and we determined he had an infection that needed to be taken care of.
That's good.
Because he was feeling so gross and yucky, you know, he was also feeling stressed then, so we moved him to a quieter and larger space where he really continued to improve.
He's now hanging out in an office.
Ah, he's having fun with his office mate.
He's super friendly.
He likes to chase toys.
And then he's very content to curl up close to you and enjoy some snuggles and pets.
He's looking for a new home where he can explore and then be spoiled by his family.
So he's a three year old gray vise limits.
He's about 92 pounds.
He was surrendered to us also in mid-August.
He can be a little nervous at first, but once he's comfortable, he's very playful and friendly.
He likes to lay near people, but sometimes he forgets that he's 52 pounds and he turns into a
Beautiful dog.
He's gorgeous.
He's got energy.
He likes to go for long walks.
He can be a little nervous meeting other dogs, but with patience and slow introductions, he's done really well interacting with other pups.
He doesn't want to share his food though.
Who does?
He feels like...
I can't blame him He's also nervous.
He's also nervous like when you give him a high a high value treat that he's gonna lose that too So yeah, it's why we're suggesting you go to a home where he can be the only pup.
Okay, he doesn't want to share.
