Mark Belling Podcast #93: The scandal in plain sight: Somalis in Minnesota steal $1 billion in taxpayer money in full view of the media and full knowledge of pathetic Gov. Tim Walz. Also: the gall of the Democrats hammering on the "affordability" crisis they created. And, Mark's take on the Lightning & Thunder movie Song Sung Blue: is it Oscar-worthy?

Minnesota's bozo Governor refused to stop the Somali aid scandal because the crooks were Somali. Trump rightly outs Obamacare as a windfall for insurers that provides crappy coverage for the poor. Mandela Barnes defies fellow Wisconsin Democrats and runs for Governor and a firsthand report from the red carpet (so to speak) for Song Sung Blue.

Mark Belling Podcast #92: America is awash in radicalized murderers whose violence is fueled by Democrat rhetoric. A major university says most of its incoming freshmen have grade school level math proficiency. And, Evers' DOC tells nobody about Morgan Geyser's mistake. The "Governor's" response: nothing.

It's hard to say what's worse: whether we are letting unvetted radical Muslims into our country or whether we are allowing leftist hate to radicalize them once they get to the US. The apathetic DOC slugs didn't bother to tell Morgan Geyser's attacker that the woman who almost killed her had escaped. And, it's Bears Week in Green Bay in a year in which both teams are contenders. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dec 01, 20251 hr 22 min

Mark Belling Podcast #91: Why are so many people gravitating to socialism/Marxism/communism? Is it because so many don't own anything anymore? Also, indications are the Milwaukee Lightning & Thunder movie, Song Sung Blue, may be very good. And, if you want to get all A's in college, just go to Harvard.

Mark's weekend podcast focuses on how George W. Bush's "ownership society" never materialized and how young people stuck in the nightmare of long-term renting are gravitating toward socialism. Contributing factor: all of the millennials who aren't as smart as they think they are: is it because Harvard gave all of them A's? And, as the US debut of "Song Sung Blue" approaches in Milwaukee, Mark discusses Lightning & Thunder and their unique Milwaukee story. See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...

Nov 28, 20251 hr 5 min

Mark Belling Podcast #90: Mental Health Quackery: Why is Morgan Geyser still so messed up? Mark analyzes how terrible choices and delusions are ratified by therapists rather than rebuked. It's a societal trend that explains "gender affirming care" and all of the other dysfunction that isn't recognized for what it is. Also, are all the ADHD pills leading to other drug abuse? And, our weekly football preview just in time for the Packers and Thanksgiving

Mark takes a deep dive into the failings of psychiatry from the Morgan Geyser case to the drug abuse epidemic that may have its roots in ADHD drugs. President Trump tries to navigate immigration policy by deporting illegals but welcoming needed skilled workers with H-1B visas. The Democrats urge troops to defy orders and our weekly football preview (it's early this week because of Thanksgiving) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Nov 26, 20251 hr 7 min

Mark Belling Podcast #89: A local psychologist and her boyfriend churn out mental health diagnoses at $50 a pop in order to sell "emotional support animal" permissions.  In another scam, a Democrat congresswoman is accused of stealing $5 million from FEMA.   And the Morgan Geyser case raises serious questions about the quality of care she has been getting from state mental health officials.

Mark focuses on some bad looks in the mental health business. Morgan Geyser cuts off her monitoring bracelet only months after state officials say she's safe to be released. A local psychologist cranks out emotional disability diagnoses for $50 after patients submit online questionnaires. And, Marxism strikes again as Chicago's Christmas tree lighting turns into a violent riot See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 24, 20251 hr 32 min

Mark Belling Podcast #88: The whole Epstein story is one of hypocrisy including the refusal of the media to focus on the obvious biggest name involved: Bill Clinton. More hypocrisy on today's podcast from the Texas redistricting ruling to Hollywood hating on Cheryl Hines (she's firing back). And, one of the two big Wis leftist unions dives into the Dem Gov race by endorsing Sara Rodriguez.

The weekend podcast features our weekly football preview. But first, a dive into the deep hypocrisy that overwhelms everything else in the Jeffrey Epstein case. With crime out of control, a California city cracks down on....pickleball. And, a look at the long criminal history of the Chicago man who lit a woman on fire on a subway platform. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 20, 20251 hr 16 min

Mark Belling Podcast #87: Not so fast! The state legislature's push to give away online sports gambling for nothing to the tribes hits a much-needed speed bump. Also, how do you trust the Democrats who've made think so expensive to bring us affordability? And the public defenders throw a hissy fit over the crackdown on reckless driving

Mark dives into the prostituting by state lawmakers to special interests like the tribes, using the online sports betting issue as an example. Ron DeSantis moves to the right of Trump and Vance by opposing LEGAL immigration, and Marjorie Taylor Greene bucks Trump by darting the left and playing kissy-face with the hosts of The View. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 19, 20251 hr 33 min

Mark Belling Podcast #86: Trump wants a crime-busting US Attorney in Wisconsin and gets it in Brad Schimel, Trump culls the herd and MJT is out, the consensus was wrong (as usual): tariffs aren't inflationary but may be recessionary, and Mark doesn't understand the point of DoorDash

A new survey says 40% of women under 45 want to leave the country (then go!), Trump gets a federal prosecutor for eastern Wisconsin and it's somebody whose been around the block and has battlescars to prove it, Ford's CEO says he can't find mechanics even after offering $120K a year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 17, 20251 hr 26 min

Mark Belling Podcast #85: As Dems cave on disastrous government shutdown, a new debate on the right over legal immigration (the H-1B visas, etc.). It's pretty clear Trump is misunderstood on both the left AND right. Also, yet another Democrat ponders running for Governor while Republicans start to unite behind Tiffany. And, our weekly football preview and point spread picks

Mark analyzes the H-1B visa debate and how it is dividing some on the right. It's another example of the failure by many to figure out Trump (he's a commonsense pragmatist, not an ideologue). A massive security breach results in a loaded gun magazine on a Frontier aircraft. And, we preview the state high school football semifinals along with outr weekly look at college and the NFL. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Nov 13, 20251 hr 11 min

Mark Belling Podcast #84: Why Marxism is on the rise in the US, why it is certain to fail and why it will also lead to more and more violence. Also: evidence is mounting that tearing down I-794 is a really, really, really stupid idea. And, the guy from "The Big Short" is warning of a tech stock price bubble based on misleading profit statements

Mark focuses on why so many affluent and educated people are embracing Marxism and how it will lead to more violence in the US (Joe Rogan says a Civil War). The new DPI report card says all our schools are great! (What a bunch of shilling hacks.) And, Pat Murphy beats Craig Counsell again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 12, 20251 hr 32 min

Mark Belling Podcast #83: Mark analyzes the developing civil war in the MAGA influencer world as Candace and Tucker are accused of going off the rails. Also, the dysfunction that led to a substitute teacher showing up at a Muskego school drunk to a 0.36 BAC on fourth OWI (low/no bail strikes again). And, Trump wants to reward the dedicated air traffic controllers and dock the no-shows.

Mark weighs in on the conservative pundits too busy attacking each other to fight the growing Marxist movement. A lenient court system and lazy school bureaucrats enable a frighteningly drunk teacher. And guess which football team scored 218 points the last four weeks? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 10, 20251 hr 22 min

Mark Belling Podcast #82:  Trump makes a compelling argument that tariffs (and the threat of them) are creating a safer and more peaceful world.  Also: will the Supreme Court strip Trump of his tariff powers and our weekly football preview and point spread picks.

Under President Trump, trade and foreign policy are no longer separate issues. Instead, trade is his most important foreign policy tool. Also: is the stock market terribly overvalued? A new stat on the age of first time home buyers explains a lot. And Mark and Mike Merlet analyze this weekend's Packers-Eagles game. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 06, 20251 hr 16 min

Mark Belling Podcast #81: Democrat silence aids DPI/Underly coverup of Wisconsin teacher sex abuse scandal, New York elects a Communist Mayor and the Democrats are happy (because they are Communists too) and a Milwaukee jury rightly acquits a firefighter and his brother who beat up a home invader.

Mark asks why Democrats aren't demanding the resignation of DPI chief Jill Underly for her agency's coverup of predator teachers. Also: The Democrats become Communist with the Mamdani election in New York, comically weak criminal charges against a local police chief and Mark's mixed assessment of former Vice President Dick Cheney. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Belling Podcast #80: Judicial roulette: A Milwaukee County Judge gets tough on a wrong way drunk driver while a Waukesha County Judge goes lenient on a guy who did the same thing, the Democrats demand the Republicans fix the Obamacare disaster they created, Tucker Kraft's career is jeopardized by football's worst injury and guess who wants to run for Governor?

Democrats freak out that Mandela Barnes wants to run for Governor because they know he'd lose. Some Milwaukee County judges are tougher than some Waukesha County judges and two wrong-way drunk driving cases prove it. Mark analyzes President Trump's navigating the government shutdown and the need for an Obamacare bailout. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 03, 20251 hr 6 min

Mark Belling Podcast #79: Tone-deaf KJP's misplaced self-pride is a metaphor for all of leftism. Mark explains. In the meantime, Trump globetrots with major trade breakthroughs across Asia. National leftists target a local school for canning the guy who falsely said there was an ICE raid in Waukesha. And, our weekly football preview and point spread picks

Identity over issues and ideology is what drives the left and Karine Jean-Pierre's lack of awareness of her failure personifies it. A national leftist movement targets Waukesha Catholic Memorial High School. A Waukesha County judge goes soft on a wrong-way drunk driver who injured a cop. And a blast from the past: an appearance by "Deep Throat." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 30, 20251 hr 13 min

Mark Belling Podcast #78: Bill Gates breaks from the left on climate change; is this the crack that will end the movement? Mark analyzes why other tech leaders will likely join Gates. Also, Fiserv stock crashes, and can the Trump Administration help Milwaukee kill its money losing streetcar boondoggle?

The AI-driven need for more power crashes into the long term climate change narrative, Sean Duffy's son-in-law says he's running for Duffy's old congressional seat and Giannis roars during Bucks game that "This Is My City!" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 29, 20251 hr 12 min

Mark Belling Podcast #77:  The DPI coverup of the Wisconsin teacher predator scandal was inevitable and it's largely the voters' fault.   Widespread legalized sports gambling: will it create even more betting scandals in American sports?   And, the boss of the Milwaukee Latin Kings is caught after 20 years on the run.

DPI boss Jill Underly skips out on a hearing on her agency's coverup of predator teachers so she can get an award (the story explains itself). Also, Mark's take on the government shutdown meaning no food stamp payments in November, and the Democrats seem dead and the real battle is now Republicans vs Socialists. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 27, 20251 hr 8 min

Mark Belling Podcast #76:   The FBI is back: huge multi-agency drug bust takes down kingpins in Racine/Milwaukee while big names are charged in NBA betting scandal.  Also:  Trump Derangement Syndrome now spreads to the new White House ballroom.   Plus, our weekly football preview and picks (Mark is 6-2).

Mark Belling Podcast #75:  I told you so!  Some Milwaukee officials want to get rid of the trolley, a Waukesha Alderman falsely claims an ICE raid was underway in his city (and now he’s lost his teaching job), and a look at the ongoing upheaval in the state GOP with the prospect of another contentious primary for Governor

With federal funds a pipe dream and no advertiser dumb enough to sponsor it, Milwaukee’s “Hop” is hemorrhaging money and some aldermen say it’s time to get rid of it. Mark offers his take on banning cellphones in schools and Tim Michels may be considering another run for Governor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 22, 20251 hr 5 min

Mark Belling Podcast #74: If No Kings is the other side, I’m glad I’m on my side (looked like the Woodstock crowd’s 56th reunion), is the trans movement already peaking, and the seven year I-94 East-West rebuild is here (what happened to all the lefties who opposed it?).

Mark discusses the insanely inflated crowd count for the No Kings marches of aging hippies. Also, seven years of traffic hell as the long-awaited I-94 Milwaukee widening commences, a final take on the Brewers and a look at a new study that says trans identification has peaked. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 20, 20251 hr 15 min

Mark Belling Podcast #73:  A local fake conservative school doubles down on rejecting Turning Point, a Brewers fan wrecks her life by taking a Dodger fan’s bait and makes a racially inappropriate comment (everything in the world is on YouTube; adapt!) and President Trump isn’t a threat to democracy.  He IS democracy.

Mark’s take on a Dodgers fan in Milwaukee who taunts a Brewers fan into making a terrible mistake, Lake Country Classical Academy still says no to Charlie Kirk’s group and plays the victim card while doing so. And, our weekly football preview and point-spread picks (Mark is 5-2 this year) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 16, 20251 hr 25 min

Mark Belling Podcast #72:  Vile Winnebago County Democrat hands out apparent Trump death wish bracelet to small child (hate is the official emotion of the American left), Mark introduces you to someone about to be one of the biggest names in sports (he's from here) and Milwaukee tries to use state funds to continue the ripping up of streets Trump and the GOP clawed back

While President Trump gives the Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, left-wing hate rages worse than ever and a local school considers whether to ban a chapter of the groupo he founded. Do you know who Jordan Stolz of Kewaskum is? You will. I'll get you ahead of the curve. And, thoughts on the huge market big money Dodgers versus the small market low-spending Brewers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 15, 20251 hr 12 min

Mark Belling Podcast #71: A local school bankrolled by conservative donors says no to a Turning Point chapter, the left has gotten so whacked it’s impossible to tell when they’re kidding, Letitia James thinks what’s good for Trump’s goose isn’t good for her own gander

The family of a man killed by a Milwaukee cop stands tall by acknowledging the shooting was justified. Lake Country Classical Academy bans a Turning Point USA chapter (after calling itself Hillsdale-affiliated and raising money from conservative donors) and Mark thinks the Dodgers will be a LOT tougher than the Cubs. By the way, Fly The L. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 13, 20251 hr 3 min

Mark Belling Podcast #70:  Mark addresses why so many conservative advocacy groups “drift” left over time and hopes Wisconsin Institute of law and Liberty isn’t one of them.  Also, why “red light cameras” won’t make Milwaukee streets safer (they just don’t get it) and Mark’s take on Trump’s doing the impossible: getting a deal between Israel and Hamas

Trump gets Israel and Hamas to make a deal (who is this guy??). The Katie Porter meltdown: why are so many California Democrats so terrible on TV? Surprise! Surprise! The Palisades fire was set by yet another demonic lefty. Plus, our weekly football preview and point spread picks See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 09, 20251 hr 11 min

Mark Belling Podcast #69:  Eight GOP Senators were targeted and wiretapped by Biden’s DOJ----THAT is the treat to democracy.   Wisconsin Democrats try to anoint Sara Rodriguez as their candidate for Governor.  Microsoft gives up on a data center in Caledonia.

Credit unions are the new hospital companies: fake non-profits that spend a fortune on advertising and marketing. The Wisconsin Democrat anointment of Sara Rodriguez is underway. Is the developer of Milwaukee’s Edison complex a kid in over his head? And the next Milwaukee street Mayor Chevy is screwing up is….? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 08, 20251 hr 12 min

Mark Belling Podcast #68:  Finally, a Republican who knows how to fight: Trump flips the script on the government shutdown.  A local man faces criminal charges for fake revenge porn targeting an ex, and the new owners of CBS name a respected moderate journalist to try to fix the biased trainwreck that is CBS News

The Trump team uses humor and facts to win the shutdown debate. Besides, which side suffers more from a shutdown? Not the GOP. The US Supreme Court is back and everything from the tariffs to boys in girls sports will be decided. And, flood insurance is a total waste of money……until you have a flood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 06, 20251 hr 13 min

Mark Belling Podcast #67:  Chuck Schumer, terror victim, is so afraid of the AOC wing of the party that he is idiotically shutting down the government in a move certain to backfire.   A bizarre twist in the case of a local woman who has been missing for four years.   And, our weekly football preview and point spread picks (Mark is 4-1 so far).

The Democrats are playing right into Trump’s hands with the shutdown and their bosses probably know it but are scared into stupidity by their party’s radicals. Also, anecdotal evidence that the drug for non-verbal autism green-lighted by RFK Jr. may be working. And the local woman who killed a family’s dog is in trouble again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 02, 20251 hr 13 min

Mark Belling Podcast #66: Trump/Hegseth drive wokeness out of military while a Fed Judge strikes blow against wokeness in schools. On the other hand, the NFL shoves Bad Bunny down our Super Bowl throats and voters keep electing judges who let career criminals stay on the street. And, guess what’s happened to American Eagle sales since the Sydney Sweeney ad?

Somewhere over the Rainbowland, the local teacher who said she could do whatever she wants in the classroom loses in federal court, Trump and Hegseth get men in dresses out of the military, UW-Whitewater remains mum on shots fired near campus and Trump refuses to cave to Dems who insist on free healthcare for illegals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 01, 20251 hr 10 min

Mark Belling Podcast #65: Why are so many young males committing mass shootings and political assassinations? Is it marijuana? Are the Democrats giving Trump the government shutdown the President wants so he can axe all the departments and employees he wants to cut? And, Mark’s take on a very weird murder in Sheboygan Falls

A Wall Street Journal columnist focuses on the seeming link between pot and violence, the Democrats are already starting their attacks on Tom Tiffany, the Packers play the weirdest tie game of all time, and Marks laughs at Dem “outrage” over criminally targeting political opponents (who started it?????) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sep 29, 20251 hr 29 min

Mark Belling Podcast #64: Leftist political violence is accelerating as “progressive” voices continue to egg it on with their hate, Bill Berrien says his following of trans porn “influencers” is no big deal (oh yeah?) and Mark dives into the case of a Waukesha County career criminal coddled for years (he’s just been nabbed for running around Waukesha naked)

There have been almost no consequences for leftists whose hate speech is fueling political violence in America, a drug addict continues to terrorize Waukesha County because the DA and judges refuse to seriously deal with him and our weekend football preview including a look at the Packers-Cowboys game.
