00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.559
What a day yesterday. Oh my
goodness. Now we got a we got

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:12.000
a pretty busy show today because yesterday
Stephen kent uh from bounding into comics.

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.359
He he was traveling and normally we
chat with him. Uh so we had

4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.519
to move him to today. So
at seven oh five we'll get into that.

5
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.120
Uh Ross, did you really read
down into the Gina Carano lawsuit any

6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.679
of the stuff that came out of
it. It's pretty fascinating. I thought

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.920
it was a little more cut and
dry and we knew what was up.

8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:42.640
But if you read into it,
so the thing that triggered them seemingly wasn't

9
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.079
even the post. They say that
they parted ways with her over the cake

10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.119
was baked since Bebop boop. And
if you don't know but what I mean

11
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.679
by that, if you went to
Karana, I'm sure if you still do,

12
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.200
I guess I could check, but
I'm I'm sure she didn't change.

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:08.120
It's the sticking point where in her
profile she wrote at the end beat bob

14
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:15.879
boop, and it did so in
the same the same I guess formatting as

15
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.400
you would put your pronouns. That's
what did it. And if you if

16
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.640
you get in there and you actually
read into it. So that happened,

17
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.319
and immediately she started getting phone calls
from everybody. Yeah, what a dumb

18
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.200
thing to get angry about. Yeah, and they so they demanded that she

19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.480
come in for this sensitivity thing,
right, Yeah, they wanted her to

20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.719
change it to her actual pronouns yes
on her personal page of Twitter at the

21
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.680
time, Yes, yes, yes, yes, And she pointed out that

22
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.879
it wasn't even about the pronouns.
She didn't have any pronouns in there and

23
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.799
was perfectly happy just doing her thing. And she, you know, the

24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.840
the Twitter activist collective descended upon her
and demanded that she put it in there.

25
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:08.599
So in her explanation, she was
she was mocking people who are you

26
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:14.280
know, demanding of others. She's
mocking the people that were horrible to her.

27
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.159
And anyway, so she goes,
she gets the call and first they're

28
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:27.159
like, we like you to meet
with like a dozen members of the LGBTQ

29
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.919
community and organizations. Well, she
agreed to and she went and folks within

30
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.719
Lucasfilms afterwards talked to the folks that
she had met with and they're like,

31
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.520
no, she's fine, we like
her. And that didn't sit well,

32
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:53.319
including with Harvey Weinstein's former assistant,
who for whatever reason Kathleen Kennedy decided should

33
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.719
be brought on to direct a Star
Wars project. And so Krono said,

34
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:04.960
she did that meeting, and then
after she got she was getting calls from

35
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.759
Kathleen Kennedy yes and saying, Hey, here's what we're gonna do. We

36
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.039
want you to come to come to
a room and we're going to have two

37
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:22.400
dozen, like twenty five people who
work for Lucasfilms, but who are members

38
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.240
of the LGBTQ community, and you're
gonna sit there and get listen to this,

39
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.560
you know. So it was described
as a struggle session, and Karana

40
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:39.039
looked at the list of employees and
ironically, just prior to them asking for

41
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.759
that, she had she'd gotten a
link for what she thought was a fundraiser.

42
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.639
And you know, when you work
in Hollywood, when you work with

43
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.360
people on a show and all of
that, if if they send you a

44
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.439
fundraiser, a lot of times you'll
donate, right just to keep the peace

45
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.879
any of that. And she was
going to go donate to this fundraiser,

46
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.800
which she thought was a fundraiser for
LGBTQ stuff. And she found out that

47
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.400
the fundraiser was get Gina Carano and
she was literally listed as the reason we

48
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.879
need to raise money because she's a
monster. And then she realized that it

49
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.560
was the fundraiser was started by one
of the Lucas employees she was going to

50
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.920
meet with, and a bunch of
the others, including this big time director

51
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.759
Lady Weinstein's old assistant actually donated to
it as well. And so she said,

52
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.040
no, I'm not gonna go sit
in a room with a bunch of

53
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.519
people who are literally having a fundraiser
to cancel me. Right, it's not,

54
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.040
that's not because Kennedy described it to
her agent as a room full of

55
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.639
people who want her to succeed,
and it was at that point She's just

56
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.959
like no. And then they they
were waiting and they found what they were

57
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.160
looking for in Boom. It's I
mean, it's really really nasty b of

58
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.000
work. And you realize how early
on it was the plan was to get

59
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:10.399
her out of there. So I'm
curious to chat with Stephen ken about that.

60
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.639
Also, Pete Calender, he'll join
us coming up at eight oh five.

61
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:23.480
So yeah, boy, how do
I sum up yesterday? Oh jeez,

62
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:31.720
all right. There were two very
important and unique things that happened yesterday.

63
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:43.680
One one is the interview with Vladimir
Putin by Tucker Carlson. Was was

64
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:48.040
posted to Twitter. It's uh,
yeah, it's our twenty minutes or whatever,

65
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.360
and Tucker's interviewing him. Putin is
choosing to speak through a translator.

66
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.199
And I want to point that out
because I think it's important to my analysis.

67
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.720
Because Putin speaks English. So we're
all clear here. He speaks English.

68
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.680
He can hold a conversation in it. He will do so if he's

69
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:14.560
uh, if he's not on camera. And but it was through a translator.

70
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.879
And I've seen some Russian speakers who
I tend to believe are going to

71
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.920
be accurate, who rightfully point out
that there is look, there's there's some

72
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.800
of it's lost in translation, especially
when Putin's body language doesn't necessarily comport with

73
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.079
his emotion on something. And so
I thought that was interesting to fill in

74
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.639
the gaps. And and in that
case, I wonder if instead maybe do

75
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.079
translator, but maybe subtitles where you
have multiple people have had a chance to

76
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.839
maybe that's better. But that's always
going to be the reality there. But

77
00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:00.480
what was not surprising to me,
but apparently it was to people who just

78
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.800
are out of their minds that this
could even be taking place. Is you

79
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.720
know, they're going, we'll see
see he's sitting there and he's trying to

80
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:16.120
tell everyone he's right. Yep.
Did you not think that? Did you

81
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.720
not think that was That's how that
was going to go. Nobody was denying

82
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:28.920
that Vladimir Putin was going to attempt
to propagandaize maybe he's right, maybe he's

83
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.959
wrong when it comes to the specifics
on a couple things like the nord Stream

84
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:41.279
or some of the others. But
that's where post analysis happens. It's not

85
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.279
surprising that the like I feel like
the only world leader out there, or

86
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:53.839
world leaders out there who wouldn't attempt
to take an opportunity for an interview like

87
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:00.000
that that they feel may reach an
audience that they haven't to promote their se

88
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:07.199
seemingly are ours right, or maybe
even expand that to the UK, Australia,

89
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.519
parts of Europe and whatnot. You
fully expect that, and when you're

90
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.319
analyzing what's being said, you have
to see it from that perspective. And

91
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:24.480
keep in mind that Zelensky's been running
around and also whenever doing an interview,

92
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.120
Hey, this is why I'm right, And then you got to do the

93
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.320
analysis and you got to look at
it. And the fact is you're starting

94
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.600
you're from go, You're starting with
two countries that have an immense amount of

95
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.519
corruption baked into the cake. Obviously, you know, we talk about the

96
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.559
window problem they have there in Russia. Apparently they're very poorly designed and people

97
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.559
are constantly falling out of them.
But the reality is that's something you have

98
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.799
to take in and you arm yourself
with that knowledge and you recognize that just

99
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:07.919
as Vladimir Putin didn't speak English,
because the propagandic value of that interview is

100
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.960
not just people are misconstruing. They
think it's it's it's purely to reach an

101
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:22.120
American or a Western audience, but
in reality it's so one could argue it

102
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:28.879
was more important to Vladimir Putin to
be able to speak to his people and

103
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.759
be seen as you know, and
and so utilizing and speaking Russian is far

104
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.919
more important because there's no nuance there
to his his citizenry. I guess as

105
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:50.519
long as they speak Russian. And
and and then Vladimir Zelensky showing up running

106
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.759
around. Uh where Uh the only
the only outfit he owns is coup or

107
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.000
you know whatever that look is.
But it's it's a visual thing, right.

108
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.799
He has to be shown to be
that wartime president. And he here's

109
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.600
his buddies and they're not asking critical
questions, which is analysis somebody. So

110
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:18.159
that's going on, and there's some
there's interest, there's a lot of interesting

111
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.639
little nuggets in there. And I
look, I know this is going to

112
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.159
be analyzed to death today, so
I kind of wanted to approach this from

113
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.639
the big picture. Did Tucker Carlson
ask go and ask him questions where Vladimir

114
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:39.320
Putin gave propaganda? Answers? Yes, does Vladimir Putin think he's right on

115
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.759
this? Yes? Is he a
guy who you couldn't convince me otherwise that

116
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:52.159
doesn't have his enemies murdered? No, that's who he is. That's who

117
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.200
he is, right, And and
you understand that going in it was Mike

118
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.080
was a Mike Wallace who did the
last that big bin laden and I can't

119
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.960
remember which one of the news anchors, but like you run it through that

120
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:11.240
filter, if you see Vladimir Putin, as you know Osama bin laden In

121
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.080
enemy and all of this, by
the way, all of this still makes

122
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.759
me laugh every time. I remember
Mitt Romney and Barack Obama and that debate,

123
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.120
and and Romney said, you know, Russia, Russia, although I

124
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.360
would I think China is currently,
but maybe that you could make that argument,

125
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.000
and they all laughed at him.
And then of course we had you

126
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.919
know, all things Russia throughout the
entirety of the Trump presidency, and now

127
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:41.679
here we are. So yeah,
but you know, at no point it

128
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.799
bin laden go, you know what, You're probably right. Maybe I shouldn't

129
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.759
be doing this. Maybe I shouldn't
be attacking the United States. Maybe I

130
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.440
shouldn't be organizing further attacks on members
of the US military. Maybe I shouldn't

131
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.200
be hiding out and Pakistan continuing to
run my terrorist network. Now he didn't

132
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.600
say any of that. He's said, no, I'm right, here's why.

133
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.840
And now the irony of ironies is
it wasn't that long ago where his

134
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.679
little manifesto, his Letter to America
was being lionized by idiots on TikTok.

135
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.600
So with all of that out there
and all of the ability to take out

136
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.559
of an hour and twenty minute interview
to say, look, here's Tucker Carlson

137
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.759
giving aid to the enemy. There
was a lawyer yesterday discussing whether Carlson could

138
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:35.480
be charged under the Espionage Act.
That was a real piece of analysis that

139
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:45.360
I actually watched yesterday, and the
analysis was probably not but who knows with

140
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.679
Washington, which is actually probably fair
analysis. So with all of that,

141
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.600
all of that opportunity to go and
out of those hour and twenty minutes for

142
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.240
both sides, so to speak,
politically, to grab whatever nuggets they think

143
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.600
proves their case. Joe Biden wandered
out to do a press conference yesterday following

144
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:16.120
that special prosecutor's study their recommendation,
and it was a train wreck. Now

145
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.279
let me get this out of the
way before you call. I understand that

146
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:28.600
some people's take, so I'll put
it out there, is that it was

147
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
the Hail Mary. And the reason
they put Biden out there, even though

148
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.799
they knew it would be disaster is
one, it distracts from the interview with

149
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.879
Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin, and
two they knew it would be such a

150
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.519
train wreck because he spent all week
talking to ghosts. Then it also provides

151
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.519
an opportunity coupled with that report to
clear the way and get somebody else on

152
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.039
the ballot, which I understand that
that is. That's a takeout there,

153
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.639
and who the hell knows it's it's
abundantly clear that there's nobody around Biden.

154
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.279
And I don't know if it's because
he'll brate them or or for whatever reason,

155
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.399
because they just realize, you know, he's useful and he basically does

156
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:24.279
kind of what they want. There's
nobody around this dude going no, no,

157
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.039
it's no, you shouldn't do that. And at times I was watching

158
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:35.240
it, yes, saying I'm I
find myself feeling bad for him. Does

159
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.480
that make sense? I'm just like, yeah, if if, if,

160
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.000
if you're dealing with something and you
might be in denial over it because nobody

161
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.039
wants to be dealing with something like
that, and nobody around you will be

162
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.879
honest with you. Of course you're
gonna you're gonna be like, yeah,

163
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.679
what's the big problem? All right, We'll get more on this coming up

164
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.799
here on the CaCO Day radio program. We got some audio for you.

165
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.799
Uh Um, I got a little
less than a minute here, just just

166
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.399
a little a little a little snippet. Well, actually, no, because

167
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.279
I want to play these in sequence. So, uh, well, we'll

168
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:20.159
do that. And where is this? Ah? Here we go. I

169
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.279
saw this. I saw an amazing
story this morning. Um and get it

170
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.960
to load because I emailed it to
myself and then I just started talking to

171
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.759
you. That's some of my brain
works. Ah, here we go.

172
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.080
Yes, mutant wolves and one of
the most one of the craziest post breakup.

173
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.559
What do we uh? Lawsuits?
It's a it's bonkers, man.

174
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.360
It's out of Michigan. So look
is it fighting over a pet that you

175
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.919
guys got when you're get No,
No, this one's a little different.

176
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.720
So we'll do our own little people's
court all coming up here on the CaCO

177
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:03.960
Day radio program. And look again, is Adimir Putin using the media opportunity

178
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.679
to propagandaize for his side or his
interests or neither? Yes? Yes,

179
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.720
because there's good I just I have
to say it out loud, becuse there's

180
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.279
gonna be a bunch of pundits on
CNN and MSNBC, and I'm sure they're

181
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.840
already doing their thing. I can
see them on the TV over there that

182
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.120
are going to go see, we
told you he said this thing, and

183
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.360
this thing is inaccurate and they're probably
right in some instances, but nobody thought

184
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:38.600
that he wasn't going to do that. What the nord the nord stream exchange.

185
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.240
Let me just give you. Let
me give you a sample of how

186
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:52.519
the vibe in there. This is
on nordstream. Uh at Carlson asks,

187
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.000
who blew up nordstream? All right? This is that gas pipeline in the

188
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.440
Baltic Sea. YadA, YadA?
You know? Okay, all right?

189
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.640
Uh and again you're going through a
translator, so just when you're hear in

190
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.400
the audio, it's well, you
know, you know how it works.

191
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:15.680
All right, here we go,
who blew up nordstream? You for sure

192
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:22.400
I was busy that day, Nate. I did not blow up nordstream.

193
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:30.160
Uh, thank you. Though you
personally may have an alibi, but the

194
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.359
CIA has no such alibi. Okay, all right, what did you think

195
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.000
he was going to say? And
by the way, that analysis tracks with

196
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:44.680
analysis of people within the United States
and European Union. Now, whether we

197
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.759
did or didn't, I don't know. But I saw people sitting there looking

198
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.279
at it, going, you know, oh, look how chummy he is

199
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:57.599
and the rest of it. If
you've never watched Carlson interview, somebody the

200
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:07.920
an undercurrent of silliness isn't the right
word. Sarcasm tends to tends to be

201
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.519
part of his process. So I
just saw it for that. There's another

202
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.000
part where he said, hey,
can we take that Wall Street Journal reporter

203
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.359
home with us? Said it right
to Putin, He's like, hey,

204
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.240
while we're here, we got an
extra seat on the plane. Can we

205
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.119
have that Wall Street Journal reporter that
apparently the administration kind of cares about,

206
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.640
but not as much as WNBA players, So to which you know, Putin

207
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.079
said no, but he's willing to
negotiate again exactly what you think he's going

208
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:45.079
to say. I don't know that
there was anything groundbreaking presented. I think

209
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.759
that there was. Putin wanted to
make the historical argument, but that's not

210
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.960
surprising anybody, because that's a dude
who craves the good old days, right

211
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.160
his I mean, arguably you could
say he's living his best life now,

212
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.240
but in his mind, his country
was living its best life back in the

213
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.079
old USSR. And he's always been
but heart over the failure of that.

214
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:18.440
It's it's abundantly clear that's always bothered
him. And yeah, look at it

215
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:23.680
from his perspective too. Imagine if, rather than Russia collapsing at the end

216
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:29.920
of the Cold War, the US
did, how many of you would have

217
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.200
something in your craw So again,
you you have to know these things to

218
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.759
understand the person, even if you
think they're a lunatic who murders their political

219
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.359
opponents. So you want to do
that, you know, I'd be very

220
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:52.319
telling Ross, I'm curious what floor
of the hotel Tucker stayed on? Right,

221
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.200
you gotta go ground floor, do
you get well, but you gotta

222
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.039
go ground floor, man Like,
if you're Tucker, you have to cause

223
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:02.279
you know, look, you know
that the the Russian secret police or following

224
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.559
Tucker the whole time he's there,
Right, that's just that's just commy.

225
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.880
Look like if I I would assume
everyone was right. So they're going to

226
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:15.319
report back that you've got a ground
floor room, and then you know you're

227
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.599
gonna wake up and be like in
a sinkhole. Yeah, but what happened

228
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.440
to my bedroom? The whole comes
from me? Yeah, what's that be?

229
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.200
Like? What happened to my bed? Where did this whole come from?

230
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.640
You know? Me? Well,
you know, look, Russia's uh,

231
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.599
you know, got a lot of
underground natural gas and oil, hence

232
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.240
the whole nord stream thing. So
you know, these things happen. Look,

233
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.839
we got sinkholes in Florida. What
are you trying to say, commie?

234
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:44.720
So no, it's like, yeah, like that could be indicative,

235
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.680
like that may that may be a
cultural slight, right, you know,

236
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.720
a little cultural It is never run
into there like ah, if you check

237
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.039
into the first floor, you're gonna
be meeting with Putin and that means that

238
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:02.119
you think that he pushes people out
windows. So I don't know, but

239
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.200
yeah, I watch the interview.
Take take all of it, take none

240
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.039
of it at you know, question
why is this person saying this? Why

241
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.160
is this person? You know,
like I said, even even the way

242
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.839
in which Putin did the interview purely
in Russian, even though he can speak

243
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:25.279
English, which is not uncommon for
him. But again it's about because he

244
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.799
you know, he's dealing. He's
obviously dealing in his own country with pushback,

245
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.119
which is why he's got to keep, you know, having window incidents.

246
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.960
He's, uh, you know,
there's like any other place, there's

247
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.519
gonna be a lot of people in
Russia's like why, you know, why

248
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:47.839
is my kid dead? Why did
my kid die in Ukraine? And as

249
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.039
I think, adults you can do
it, but I'm seeing a total inability

250
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.799
for the media to do it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, which

251
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.119
again I understand some people say,
Ah, the reason Biden held a pressure

252
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.640
up that disastrous report was he wanted
to distract from anything that was going on

253
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.640
with Putin. But I'm seeing the
Internet have the distinct ability to deal with

254
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:15.960
both. So real quickly, let
me just give you the you could tell

255
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.680
what's stuck is speaking of sticking in
somebody's craw, you can tell what's stuck

256
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:27.559
in Joe Biden's craw. And it
was specifically the special counsel, Robert Herr

257
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.359
talking, And this is they're doing
legal analysis, right, but they're doing

258
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.200
explanation, and sometimes a prosecutor will
choose to bring or not bring a charge

259
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:48.720
and give an explanation and reasoning,
perhaps even a legal reasoning. And so

260
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.759
in some part that's what was going
on, but in others it was just

261
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:59.680
them explaining how the interview went with
him. And according to according to the

262
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.200
special prosecutor, when they initially interviewed
him, he couldn't remember when his son

263
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:15.079
died. He couldn't remember when he
was vice president the dates he had just

264
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:22.200
had two incidents where he was talking
to ghosts this week, and so you

265
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.680
couple that you read the report here
going back to I don't know a few

266
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.079
months ago when they did the interview
with him. Here we go in his

267
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:37.480
interview with our office, mister Biden's
memory was worse. He did not remember

268
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.640
when he was vice president, forgetting
the first day of the interview when his

269
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.960
team when his term ended, if
it was twenty thirteen, When did I

270
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:51.559
stop being vice president? That's literally
a quote from him. He's asking the

271
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.839
interviewer that forgot on the second day
of the interview when his term began,

272
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.240
again, asking him, so in
two thousand and nine, am I still

273
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.759
vice president? He did not remember
even within several years when his son Bo

274
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:15.640
died, and his memory appeared hazy. When describing the Afghanistan debate that was

275
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.880
once so important to him, among
other things, he mistakenly said is he

276
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:29.960
had a real difference of opinion with
Carl Aikenberry, which that particular general was

277
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.880
not who was confronting Biden on some
of the decisions. That was his yes

278
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.680
man. So he forgot who was
his dude? Who he cited he literally

279
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:45.279
wrote a memo to President Obama like
this guy gets it. But then they

280
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:52.240
get into why they're not going to
charge him, and it's this line that

281
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:57.559
I think really irritated the president.
Mister Biden's memory was significantly limited, both

282
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:03.599
during the recorded interviews with the ghostwriter
in twenty seventeen and in his interview with

283
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.119
our office. We've also considered that, and this is explaining why they're not

284
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.480
going to bring charges. And again
this is over the documents in the garage.

285
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:21.119
Okay, we have considered at trial, mister Biden would likely present himself

286
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.599
to a jury, as he did
during our interview, as a sympathetic,

287
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.599
well meaning elderly man with poor memory. So they're saying that you put that

288
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.359
dude on the stand, it'll be
so ugly. The jury will feel bad

289
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.480
for him. And I watched his
pressure yesterday feeling a little bad for him.

290
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.519
And they think that that would prohibit
them from achieving the goals. Now,

291
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:47.640
you could think that's all bs charging
Trump not charging him. It's another

292
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:52.359
double standard, and you know what, you could be right, probably right

293
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.680
actually as far as some of this
goes. But that is also something that

294
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.160
a prosecutor is going to think about, you know, for the same reason.

295
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.160
Remember that, Remember that dad who
was sitting there waiting, pretending he's

296
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:10.200
on the payphone, and he was
waiting for a I think it was a

297
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:11.880
flight, right, it was a
flight that a coming because they'd apprehended some

298
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.880
they'd apprehended the guy who they said
was molesting his kid, and I don't

299
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.039
think there was any question about it. And he turns around for the payphone

300
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.000
and shoots that dude in the head, kills him, puts the gun down,

301
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:26.759
like, all right, that's what
I came here to do, right,

302
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:32.440
the legal analysis if you go back
and read that on why they arrived

303
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:33.960
at how they were going to go
after him, and they didn't just let

304
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.759
him go. But also they had
to mitigate it because they realized, you're

305
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.680
gonna stick that dude in a courtroom. And this is what the eighties.

306
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.359
You gonna stick that guy in a
courtroom. There's there's photographic evidence and and

307
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:51.599
you see all the horribleness that this
guy did to this guy's son, and

308
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.920
you're not gonna get a jury to
go. Yeah, no, absolute murder,

309
00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:00.440
give him the chair. So I
know that's an extreme example, but

310
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:06.119
I think it's important. All right, So to the press conference yesterday,

311
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.359
here we go. I know there's
some attention paid to some language and report

312
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:15.759
about my recollection of events. There's
even reference that I don't remember when my

313
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:21.799
son died. How in the hell
dare he raise that? Frankly, when

314
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:23.839
I was asked the question, I
thought to myself, wasn't any of their

315
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:32.119
damn business? Okay, I have
two thoughts on that one. If it's

316
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.079
not their damn business, why do
you say it at every campaign event that

317
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.039
has anything remotely to do with the
military, Which, by the way,

318
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:47.480
I don't begrudge him, I wish
he'd be accurate about it because the legitimately,

319
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:52.240
in his mind, he thinks that
burn pits and some other processes within

320
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:59.039
the military that his son had to
participate in that many soldiers do, contributed

321
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.200
to his death. And that's you
know, that is from a medical perspective.

322
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.680
That is a theory that is out
there and many people believe and may

323
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:14.480
not be inaccurate. But you can't
conflate stuff like that. And I am

324
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:19.119
curious if did they tape these recordings
or was it handwritten notes? In all

325
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:27.240
instances, I know there's video from
the ghostwriter thing I'd be curious to see.

326
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:37.240
Okay, so that's that's his response
there. Well, let me do

327
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.319
this because we've got a few more
cuts. It's six forty seven. Let's

328
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.519
take a break. When you watch
it, I want you to ask yourself

329
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:51.839
that does Vladimir Putin look like a
dude who is suffering from a terminal condition

330
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.759
could be cancer, whatever was speculated, and whose mind is scrambled and is

331
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:03.039
just unknowingly in spite of himself pushing
forward with a war. Because you remember

332
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.920
that whole narrative was out there.
He's crazy, Yeah, he's lost his

333
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.880
mind, remember that Oldah, there
was that doctor who fled Russia and then

334
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.680
the other one who didn't because fell
out of a window. Right, But

335
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:22.799
the stipulation was that he is he
was so scrambled from whatever the disease was

336
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.839
that he wasn't even coherent. Roz, you dubbed some stuff into that.

337
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.759
Look like a dude whose brain scrambled
on the verge of death, who's incoherent.

338
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.279
No, So I you know people
may see that and go, well,

339
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.440
wait a second, this was the
narrative out there. What else what

340
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.279
else may have been inaccurate? Which
By the way, I understand why you're

341
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.200
going to go out and you're going
to paint your enemy as a lunatic.

342
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.240
So then you have to go to
the tape. And if I go to

343
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:59.559
the tape from the two events yesterday, I see Vladimir Putin obviously, Look,

344
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.559
he's going to be prepared to go
certain stuff, all of that Russian

345
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.720
history, which he was he wouldn't
shut up about. I understood that.

346
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.480
But the Biden presser, I even
think he knew what they were going to

347
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:14.319
say. But then the question started
from Peter Doosey. Fox knew something special

348
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.920
Counsel said in his report is that
one of the reasons you were not charged

349
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.480
is because, in his description,
you are a well meaning elderly man with

350
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.960
a poor memory. I'm well meeting. I'm an elderly man, and I

351
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.720
know what the hell I'm doing.
I'm in president. I put this country

352
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.160
back on his feet. I don't
need his recommendation. It's totally memory.

353
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.440
And can you continue as president?
My memory is so bad, I let

354
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:44.680
you speak, which, by the
way, that's a funny line. Can

355
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.400
we admit that that is kind of
a funny line there, And I'm sure

356
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:56.640
one that was recited over and over
to commit to memory. But here's where

357
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.160
it gets different, because that's the
kind of snappy answer that Jean Pierre will

358
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:07.680
give Deucy Biden's given Doucy before,
and the rest of the media will they'll

359
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.200
kind of chuckle or smile. But
it was different yesterday. And it was

360
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:18.079
different because the moment he said that, the rest of the media jumped in,

361
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.160
you know, how it's supposed to
be like it should have been the

362
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.279
other day when John Pierre's like,
I'm not going down that rabbit hole.

363
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.519
I know, he said he talked
to dead people, but it's a rabbit

364
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:33.400
hole. He was in transit yesterday, actually headed to Atlanta for their comic

365
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.640
con down there, so that's where
we're talking to him from right now.

366
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.519
And I want to make sure you're
okay. Are you okay, Stephen?

367
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.880
I'm doing okay, but I might
lose my cool when I meet Andy Serkis

368
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.599
from Lord of the Rings. I
don't know if I can handle it.

369
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:56.839
Well, if you do, I
will, I guarantee you dude, you're

370
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.480
in you see you see that Alec
balls there right, Yes, that is

371
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:07.519
why I'm wearing my flat jacket,
got body armor and a helmet handy.

372
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.319
You know, it would be a
really funny bit for our radio and probably

373
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:16.119
uh not great for your career.
But go over and do your best stuntman

374
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.119
getting shot impression in front of the
booth and just fall down and then film

375
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.559
it for TikTok or whatever the kids
do. If we wanted a viral video,

376
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:28.720
that's how you get it. That's
how you get it right there,

377
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:30.599
because he you know, he'd loses
crap, he does have. He does

378
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:37.559
tend to get a little angry,
so anyway, what's that. He has

379
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.160
a famous temper, but we love
him anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah,

380
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.839
and if he calls you a little
piggy, even better. So because

381
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.160
that audio is could you ever hear
did you ever hear the audio of Alec

382
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.359
Baldwin? Somebody up at like w
ABC in New York or one of the

383
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.200
stations up there, thought it'd be
Hey, we needed a fill in talk

384
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.799
host, and they asked Alec Baldwin
to do it. So he comes in

385
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.799
and he has never done talking.
I mean he's done it in the sense

386
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:12.119
as a guest, I'm sure,
And he is the most painful audio that

387
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.960
I've ever heard of. Somebody because
he just assumed the moment he sat down,

388
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.799
all the phones would fill, and
he's having a grind out, and

389
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.759
he keeps going to the producer.
Are there any calls yet? Are there

390
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.359
any calls yet? Everybody's got a
call screener in front of him. So

391
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:29.480
that's a big difference between radio and
TV. I mean, the guy was

392
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:35.599
an MSNBC host in like two thousand
and thirteen for only a little while,

393
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.880
but you know, TV, or
even off a script, it ain't the

394
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.599
same thing. No, And so
now there's two things I do better than

395
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.759
him. That and not shoot the
people I work with. Ross, Have

396
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.720
I ever shot you? Ross will
tell you not yet? Look at that,

397
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.119
so boom leading. He might be
afraid, he might be afraid to

398
00:33:53.160 --> 00:34:00.680
speak out for fear of retaliation.
It was now, no, no,

399
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.640
no, all right, I gotta
I gotta pivot over here, because I

400
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:07.039
was just about to go down a
rabbit hole. I was scanning all,

401
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.199
you know, the big list of
folks who are going to be there,

402
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:15.239
and I don't see Gina Carano at
the at the event, and I gotta

403
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.440
tell you, obviously, you're gonna
you're gonna be much more deep dove on

404
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.719
this. I reiterated kind of the
reader's digest version. The Beep Boop Bop

405
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:32.000
controversy coupled with the go fundme,
coupled with the struggle sessions is a crazy

406
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:37.920
story that I absolutely believe because Hollywood
Go and Hollywood and most people think that

407
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:44.039
it was the you know, the
whole Germany comments, But in reality,

408
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.280
it looks like the powers that be, and very powerful powers that be,

409
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.800
had it out for this woman from
the moment beat Bop Boop appeared on her

410
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:59.079
Twitter account. It's a crazy story. Yeah, this has been just such

411
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.199
a weird saga. And I was
thinking this morning in preparation for this,

412
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:08.320
just all the weird things that happened
ever since Derek Chauvin ran into George Floyd

413
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:13.760
in twenty twenty, and just like
all these things that you just wouldn't expect

414
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:17.920
that happened in the culture, from
the protests to the overhauls and education to

415
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.559
the weird things that we see going
on in classrooms, to the firing of

416
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:28.800
Gina Carano for having beat Bop boop
in her Twitter profile as her joke pronouns,

417
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.159
the world has just changed so fast, And yeah, she got fired

418
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:38.519
from the Mandalorian despite incredible success on
that show, good reviews, good performance,

419
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:45.920
and she is now suing with the
help of Elon Musk at X And

420
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.639
I mean, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not your guy for that kind

421
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.320
of commentary, But I am fascinated
by this suit because there have been many

422
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:58.840
politicized firings in Hollywood just in the
past couple of years, but she is

423
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:06.559
the only conservative to ever sort of
take this fall for explicitly political speech and

424
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:10.199
without any clear indication that it was
affecting her job or that it was causing

425
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.599
tension with her colleagues. Because she
is one of the most liked members of

426
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.320
the Mandalorian cast, who all the
cast members had nothing but good things to

427
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:23.480
say about her. She just happens
to believe the pandemic might have been planned.

428
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.639
Well, look, you know,
they can all talk about how great

429
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:34.920
they got along on set. The
reality is nobody stuck up for nobody came

430
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.880
Pedro Pascal didn't. And I kind
of like that dude, Like I like

431
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.480
stuff that he's in. I think
he's a good actor. I think he's

432
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.880
funny too. And it's like,
and he gave some comments like months after

433
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.079
it happened, but at the time, nobody put it out there. If

434
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.960
there was one person powerful enough,
although maybe he wasn't. Maybe all the

435
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.760
power lined lied with Again, here
we go with Kathleen Kennedy again and this

436
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.719
this BS organized struggle session thing where
Toronto figured out that bunch of the people

437
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.320
and there were people who were donating
to a campaign to have her canceled.

438
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.519
I mean, it's it's it's just
Lugal DRIs. So people are misunderstanding,

439
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.400
I think though, because they're saying, well, she's suing, it's trying

440
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.760
to get her job back. Now
when you're suing in this capacity, it's

441
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.639
my understanding what you're telling the court
is like, you want to work there.

442
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.639
You're not the one who wanted to
leave, and if not for their

443
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.360
actions, you would not have left. And by the way, you think,

444
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.920
their actions going against the law.
So she has to the goal in

445
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.599
her mind is not to be back
on set at Mandalorian. That's never going

446
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.199
to happen. But she needs to
represent to the court that she wants to

447
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.119
be there, and I believe that
she does, and they prevented her from

448
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.000
doing it in an illegal manner.
So now okay, so you're you're I

449
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:58.159
mean, because she says in the
in the suit of the entitlement to reinstatement.

450
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.400
But your your read of it is
that she does actually obviously want to

451
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:06.199
be reinstated in a hostile ork environment. But that's just kind of going through

452
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:07.800
the motions. You say, you
want to work there, you want it,

453
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.159
you never wanted to leave. That's
yes, that's what that's what you

454
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:16.519
You have to indicate that it was
they who violated the contract and did so

455
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:21.119
in an illegal manner. I mean, that's that's remedy that I have within

456
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.840
my contract. Right, I can
challenge certain things that are stepped, that

457
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:29.079
are that are put forward, but
it has to be predicated on the idea

458
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:34.360
that I didn't want to depart and
and they made me depart, and they

459
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.119
did so in a way that doesn't
comport with the law. And whether they

460
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.119
did or didn't, I don't know. These contracts are wildly complex. So

461
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.159
yeah, And one of the elements
of California employment law and the lawsuit that

462
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.039
you know, I'm still trying to
wrap my head around as sort of a

463
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.360
conservative commentator and looking at this stuff, is the is the sex discrimination part

464
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.760
of the suit. So you know, we've got the the politicized speech,

465
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:01.480
and the ability under California law to
be able to engage in political speech.

466
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:07.679
Lord knows it protects a whole lot
of employees who consider themselves to be Democrats

467
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.239
and liberals. But the sex discrimination
part that she's going with, you know

468
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.960
that Pedro Pascal to basically tweet whatever
it is he wanted, whatever it is

469
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:21.599
he wanted, and that Guang Carlo
Esposito, the villain on the show The

470
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.440
Mandalorian, could also make political tweets, and they could also allude to how

471
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:30.679
the bad guys in American politics are
like the Nazis, which is pretty much

472
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.760
the ground that Gina Carano was on
as well, but there are no repercussions.

473
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:37.840
You know, I don't really know
what to make of it from an

474
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:42.159
authenticity standpoint, because we know that
it's politicized fire. We know that they

475
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.639
were going after her for political speech, But it does seem to me that

476
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:49.719
the sex discrimination part is a vulnerability. It's like an achilles heel. In

477
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:53.000
the courts of California, they've set
up a system where that kind of suit

478
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:58.880
is very easy. So maybe this
is just sort of getting what you ask

479
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.079
for in terms of califor you law. Yes, I think that. Yeah,

480
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:06.840
I think that that is absolutely it, although they have, Uh,

481
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:13.760
there have been some cases where I'm
trying to remember the name. I can't

482
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:17.920
remember the name of the actress.
She's a black actress, was in Clueless,

483
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:22.000
what was she was on Fox for
a little while. I can't remember

484
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:23.159
her name. If you you know
that, you know the woman I'm talking

485
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:27.360
about. I don't know why it
escape remember the movie Clueless, the one

486
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:32.360
friend who was black, Stacy Dash, Stacy Dash. There was something she

487
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.960
sued over that and they and it
became kind of clear that, yeah,

488
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:43.039
they take that very seriously, but
not in all instances. Yeah, I

489
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:46.159
don't remember the exact the exact cause, but I do recall. Yeah,

490
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:51.239
so we'll we'll wait and see.
Uh, let's talk. By the way,

491
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:55.719
what are you doing down there other
than avoiding mister Baldwin's quick draw demo?

492
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.000
You know, the greatest mistake of
my life was published a book about

493
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.920
Star Wars because there will always be
a convention to go to to talk about

494
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.599
it. And three years after the
fact, I am still out here hustling

495
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.760
books. So I'm down here given
a speech about Star Wars on one of

496
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:17.400
the main stages and how it can
make our politics just a little bit worse,

497
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.039
better, better, I mean it's
better having a Joe Biden moment there.

498
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.199
But yeah, pushing copies of how
the Force can fix the world.

499
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:30.199
Very excited to do it. Unless
you were thinking that the Mexican president is

500
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:35.039
in Star Wars. You're not there
yet. So and in Star Wars you

501
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:39.480
can talk to dead leaders because their
force goes so different. That's true.

502
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:44.960
No one's ever really gone. Yeah, so we'll do that. Do you

503
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.840
find Actually, let me let me
get into this. Do you find because

504
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:53.119
I'm assumed when did your book come
out? December twenty twenty one? Okay,

505
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:54.840
all right, see, just a
couple of years under your belt.

506
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.360
But we were well into I think
what was some of the fandom you would

507
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.480
agree to arding to push back to
considering what they were seeing out of the

508
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:09.079
last trilogy. Oh yeah, how
have those conversations changed and the audience that

509
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:14.400
still wants to attack this purely from
just like you know, your your standard

510
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.599
kind of nerd debate rather than the
politics that is intrinsically attached. I mean,

511
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:22.440
has has the panels changed? You've
got you got Ron Perlman at this

512
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:27.159
thing, I'm just like Ron Perlman, is you want to talk about somebody

513
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:35.800
who exercises their political speech on top, Yeah, right, when you're in

514
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.559
a room with him, and uh, well, for that matter, Baldwin,

515
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:44.119
and there's I'm just looking down the
list here, there's there's a few

516
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:49.039
people that are very outspoken. Does
it just evolve into that or are are

517
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.320
you guys able to kind of stay
on task because of what the event is?

518
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:58.519
Well, i would say at conventions
you certainly stay on task. When

519
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:01.679
you're trying to go to you know, a Raleigh Comic Con event or Charlotte

520
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:07.119
Comic Con event and you want to
actually present programming, the programming better be

521
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:14.440
left of center. Most of these
comic conventions are run by management groups,

522
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:19.199
and so these management groups will put
on, you know, five or six

523
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:23.239
comic cons in the region all at
once, and they are the same people

524
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:29.000
screening every single panel, submission,
and speaker, and there will not be

525
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:35.360
a you know, conservatism in Star
Wars panel or a talking about the classical

526
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.599
liberal virtues of the Jedi sort of
thing that just is not allowed, you

527
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:42.239
know. So I'm going down and
kind of giving a talk about Star Wars

528
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.360
and morality and you know, I
kind of like weave my way towards my

529
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:51.639
values there, but it has to
adhere to liberal sensibilities if you ever want

530
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:55.000
to present at a comic con.
And that's that's a real problem because the

531
00:43:55.039 --> 00:44:04.679
SANDOM community by and large is very
heavily male and very heavily conservative. They

532
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:08.760
just simply have no voice at these
conventions at all, and they keep their

533
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:14.599
discourse online where they know they will
not be harassed, bullied, or targeted

534
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:16.920
for that kind of speech. And
it does happen at these conventions quite a

535
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:21.000
bit, okay, And I was
just going to say, we've seen some

536
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:25.039
examples, so these things aren't cheap, especially if people are traveling, you

537
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:29.639
know, from they say they're traveling
from outside of Atlanta to this thing.

538
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:34.440
You got hotel, now, you
got whatever goes with it. If it

539
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:38.559
is that cesspooled, that dearth of
ideas from one side, and like why

540
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:43.960
would you go not you necessarily understand
why you're there, but like why would

541
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:50.719
people show up if they if they
are literally being threatened over questioning the strong

542
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:55.119
female lead narrative or making pandaverse jokes
and all the things that will have people

543
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.599
literally tattling on them on Twitter.
Why subject yourself to that? Why feed

544
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.719
the beast? You know, I
think that there's people want different things from

545
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.079
these kind of conventions depending on what
they're there for. You know. I'm

546
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:13.639
always there to sell, to meet
people, and to also speak on panels

547
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.920
and do stuff like that. But
most fans, and I would say particularly

548
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.840
the kind of fans who have political
views that are not allowed on the stages,

549
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.280
they are there to enjoy autographs,
get photos of their favorite stars.

550
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.360
Hayden Christiansen, you know, the
Anakin Skywalker actor and Ewan McGregor, who

551
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:35.079
were both together just the other week
in Orlando doing joint photos with people.

552
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.679
And you know, all fans want
to enjoy that kind of thing if they

553
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.840
have one hundred and fifty bucks that
they never want to see again. So

554
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.800
I would just say that people come
to these things for different reasons. I

555
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.280
love to come and buy stuff myself
and bring my daughter. Look for a

556
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.199
cool sword for the wall. We
could get you a sword sometime if you

557
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.840
want. Well, it's kind of
it's a tough sword week. I had

558
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:58.719
a guy I got to write this
guy back. I a guy offer to

559
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:04.760
give me a sword, and I'm
not gonna because yeah, slightly, No,

560
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.599
I did not. I would feel
I would feel bad. I really

561
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.960
appreciate it. It was very nice, but you know, in reality,

562
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.199
it's kind of a running joke that
I'm like, how come everyone has the

563
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:17.639
sword but me, Well, I
don't have a sword. I have enough

564
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.480
weapons, so we're probably probably good
there on that. All right, real

565
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:24.880
quick, I got just a minute
left. I'll tell you one thing I

566
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.079
am excited about. I saw that
there, and I know we talk a

567
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:34.960
lot about, you know, Disney, but Disney partnering for a billion and

568
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.239
a half dollars with Epic Games,
that's obviously big for the region. In

569
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.519
thirty seconds, do you think that
goes sideways? Do you think maybe some

570
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:45.000
cool products come out? Well,
I'm sure that they will be able to

571
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:52.039
make cool products, but both of
these companies are finding themselves an increasing increasing

572
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:57.320
legal turmoil and their enemies are coming
after them on both sides, so I'm

573
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.360
sure it will not be drama free, but good for the carry, I

574
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.960
would say that's a positive for back
home. Well, yeah, I understand

575
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:06.920
that. I just want to know
are they going to because I'm not a

576
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:08.280
Fortnite guy, so it's like,
give me, give me something I like,

577
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.280
and we'll see, but for now
I'll let you get back to it.

578
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:15.000
We're out of time, but I
appreciate you calling in this morning.

579
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.000
Thanks, you have a great week
one. All right, there you go,

580
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:22.159
Stephen Kent joining us here on the
CaCO Day radio program. Hanging about

581
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.639
a half hour from now. We'll
chat with Pete Callender coming up here on

582
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.639
our Friday, so stay tuned for
that. There's lots of pouncing to be

583
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.639
done, so we'll get into that
discussion. All right. Thank you to

584
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.159
Stephen Kent for joining us, even
if we had to move it a day

585
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:44.480
accommodating, So that was good.
Uh So, let me just jump back

586
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.960
to the Biden thing real quick,
because there's one other element to this story.

587
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.079
Well there's actually there's actually there's two
other elements. Ross. Why are

588
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:57.480
you not like writing a book on
legal theory right now? Because, like

589
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:01.360
you know, I I thought yesterday, are you expoused some I've questioned from

590
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:06.119
time to time some of your legal
theories, like simply asking if you're being

591
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:10.000
detained, we'll have the officers salute
wheel out of their direct respect for your

592
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:15.159
let you go, yeah, or
for your knowledge? And another one was

593
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:19.239
you can't wait to be old,
so you can steal stuff at stores because

594
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.679
all you have to do is I'm
old. I can't wait all the all

595
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.119
the stakes are going down my pants, all of them. I'm just gonna

596
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.559
walk in the stakes actually be like
these are all mine. And then once

597
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:30.039
they bust me. Right, your
defense is, oh, I don't know

598
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:32.000
what's going on. I'm old,
and they're like, oh, I look

599
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.880
at the key, old man.
Let him go right with his steaks?

600
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:37.719
Which how's he if he's so old, Like, how's he gonna eat the

601
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.119
steaks? That's been a little tough, right, So thinking this out,

602
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:47.119
uh, but in like reality,
that's kind of what was said yesterday.

603
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:52.719
The Seinfeld Uncle Leo defense. Okay, you know, you know, my

604
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.599
lack of Seinfeld knowledge is very old. And he shoplifts and that's his thing.

605
00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:58.679
He's like, I'm oh, okay, yeah, And Jerry's like,

606
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:00.440
I saw you steal and he's like, I'm so confused. I'm old,

607
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:04.920
But you knows exactly what he's doing
because you can shoplift and you can flip

608
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:07.559
kids off. Right, those are
the those are the two things along with

609
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:14.320
social security. Right, So that's
what I understand. But like, that's

610
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.599
that's going to be your argument.
Well, you got a deep dive further,

611
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:22.320
right, because now people are like, wait, you're too you're too

612
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.559
out of there to prosecute, but
you're still president. That's not good,

613
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:30.679
right, And then so like that's
why Biden decided he would come out yesterday

614
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:36.119
and in his defense give a long
oratory and a variety of issues. In

615
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:37.639
fact, we kind of clipped this
last clip, but I want to play

616
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:42.280
it in its entirety. This is
not the thing to be doing. It's

617
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:47.320
you're no, no, I'm fine, press conference this right here. The

618
00:49:47.440 --> 00:50:00.280
conduct of the response in Gaza,
in the Gaza Strip has been over the

619
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:12.480
top. I think that, as
you know, initially the president of Mexico

620
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:17.000
CEC did not want to open up
the gate to allow humanitarian material to get

621
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:21.719
in. Well, I talked to
him. I convinced to open the gate.

622
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:24.679
I talked to Babie to open the
gate on the Israeli side. Oh

623
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:29.440
okay, So he's referring to the
gate on the southern end of the of

624
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:37.840
the strip there known as the Sinai
Peninsula, which is in Egypt. Well,

625
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.639
it was in Israel and then it
was in Egypt. Again, that's

626
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:50.280
the whole thing. So the president
of Mexico you think, is the president

627
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:53.360
of Egypt. I mean, well, look correct me if I'm ross correct,

628
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:55.920
If I mean they are, they
are right next to each other,

629
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:02.159
so it's I mean, I guess
there is some distance there between them,

630
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:06.960
is there? Yeah, you share
a border. There's some water between them

631
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:08.960
two. Yeah, oh they have
a lake. Right, Maybe in his

632
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:13.039
mind he was thinking that they're both
sort of like deserts or something like that.

633
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:16.880
They're both very hot, dry,
right, Well, parts of it,

634
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:20.760
I mean, yeah, absolutely.
I mean part of the US is

635
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.760
also deserty, but Egypt you kind
of see it as all deserty, which

636
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.920
isn't one hundred percent accurate, but
it's more accurate than not. Whereas Mexico,

637
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:34.280
Yeah, we think of you know, along our southern border, but

638
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:39.199
in reality, when you get like
Mexico City is not hot, it's very

639
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:44.800
temperate, so like, and that's
where he goes to meet the president of

640
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:49.400
Mexico, which he did not that
long ago. Well, I've been I've

641
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:52.119
been to Mexico City. I've never
been to Egypt, but I've seen some

642
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:57.440
pictures and I would not say that
they look alike well, I've also been

643
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.840
to Mexico in Red Dead Redemption,
and I can tell tell you that there's

644
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:05.119
a lot of stand in there,
a lot of desert, very to magic,

645
00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.880
some pyramids too, right, I
mean there are pyramids in both places.

646
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.280
That is true. If you go
to the Catana Peninsula, you're like,

647
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.599
that's it's easy to figure out why
he was so confused. Listen,

648
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.199
you should not have to have to
I should not be put in the position

649
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:23.159
to defend Joe Biden in this way. Right, it's such a especially after

650
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:25.519
he comes out and says that he's
fine, Hey, I'm fine. You

651
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:30.440
guys are overreacting by the way.
The President of Mexico opened his side of

652
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:35.079
the gaza stir what Yeah, that
was big of him. Good for cc

653
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:39.079
man or no, he refused to
and then and then Biden called him.

654
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:45.000
Do you think Biden actually did call
the President of Mexico who was so confused.

655
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:49.800
He's he's telling them no, but
he's not telling him no because he

656
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:53.760
doesn't what to but because he's not
the president of that country. Do you

657
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:57.760
think that happened? Right? And
he's finally had enough and he's just like

658
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:00.920
fine, whatever, and he hangs
up the phone, and Biden's like pulled

659
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:05.599
it up. All right, you
went, sir, you're the victor.

660
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:10.400
All right, Well that is a
theory. That's you know, I guess,

661
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:15.559
I guess we can entertain because not
much else is making sense there.

662
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:23.239
But here's the other other thing not
charged was this ghostwriter and the ghostwriter,

663
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:29.159
like I said, they had videos, but prosecutors only ended up with the

664
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:35.039
transcript. The reason I mentioned that
is because most of the video evidence or

665
00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:39.639
recording of it, even though there
was a transcript that the ghostwriter purports to

666
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:45.000
be accurate, one hundred percent accurate, they didn't have access to the videos

667
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:49.960
because the ghostwriter deleted them, and
he deleted them after he was informed there

668
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.480
was an investigation on this stuff.
And I point this out because his argument

669
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:59.559
is I had transcripts, and frankly, they didn't indicate that they wanted anything

670
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:00.840
from me, so I didn't think
anything of it. I just knew the

671
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:07.000
investigation was going on. But even
if you believe that right there, if

672
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:13.920
you look to the because it wasn't
just Trump charged with on his version of

673
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:20.920
this, it was also members of
his circle, right, so they charged

674
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:28.000
numerous people for essentially, remember it
was over the security tape saying that some

675
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.719
security tape. Now their argument was
the security tapes only kept this long and

676
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:37.679
also there are you know, we
have a process for purging any of these

677
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:42.039
videos, And Prosecutor Jack Smith said
no, nope, I don't believe you.

678
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:47.880
And so they charged two individuals over
that. But in this case they

679
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:52.480
decided no. So for everyone who's
going to be running around saying that this

680
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:57.079
is a Republican prosecutor, he's hold
over any of the rest. They write

681
00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:01.880
a very different decisions on things where
there's a lot similarities. So it's not

682
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:06.280
just about his perception of Biden or
any of the rest of that. It's

683
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:12.400
also the analysis on people who nobody's
claiming that they have cognitive issues, and

684
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:17.400
they still went in a different direction. So yeah, that's that's just a

685
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:22.280
little nugget that I think is getting
left off here. But we have more

686
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:31.000
important things. Rased Agic has lost
control of his household. We got to

687
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:37.400
do somebody. I can't allow this
to happen on your well, this is

688
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:40.679
this is an intervention, like we're
sit down, we're all friends here.

689
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:45.840
I mean, his wife has decided
that their Super Bowl party is going to

690
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:51.960
be Taylor Swift theme. Wow.
Yeah, and we got into it about

691
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:57.800
twenty minutes ago. Maybe you already
heard what. Yeah, we got into

692
00:55:57.800 --> 00:56:01.360
it down the road. Yeah,
Mark and I got into it. Oh

693
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:07.519
no, I don't text smart very
much, so Eddie And so that was

694
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:13.519
my What was my colleague in Ashville's
take? Well, I actually had asked,

695
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:15.840
and I actually have some of the
theme food names. If you want

696
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:19.519
to do that now or you want
to wait like that, No, let's

697
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.320
yeah, I want that, so
I just do on it mock you again

698
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:27.840
in an hour theme food. So
yeah, so remember Taylor Swift. The

699
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:31.320
wives came up with this. So
my wife is doing a loaded tay turtot

700
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:37.880
tay as in Taylor and you belong
to Brie. You belong to Brie.

701
00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:40.119
I do like, how about that
instead of you belong to me? And

702
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:45.960
my sister in law is doing this
is why we can't have nice wings instead

703
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:53.440
of nice things. Okay, all
right, this is that is exactly what

704
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:59.360
you should have said to them,
not the wings say things to them when

705
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:02.679
they decided that this one thing,
this is a guy's high Holy okay,

706
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.400
sorry, gonna break it down here. This is like your one thing.

707
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:10.920
This is like this would be a
kin. Do you guys have like a

708
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:15.360
walking closet and then there's this small
like steamer trunk, right, and that's

709
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:19.880
where your clothes go because your wife
has the whole closet. And then she

710
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:22.920
would have the audacity to be like, I'm gonna put my shoes in the

711
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:24.800
steamer truck. You just have to
you gotta be like, this is my

712
00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:30.920
last stand, this is it,
this is all I have. You got

713
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.679
to push back, and now they're
mocking you with the food names and you

714
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:38.960
don't. Oh dude, well basically
they told me Mark told me that that

715
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:45.559
sucks. And yeah, that's my
wife. And we're having the conversation on

716
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:47.519
the air and she says, well, you plan the menu next time,

717
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.360
And I said, I better stop. What do you mean? What do

718
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.840
you mean ross plan a menu for
watching? I was just thinking, this

719
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:58.639
is like the easiest thing ever I
want. Yeah, I want chips,

720
00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:00.239
I want some subs, I want
some I want something. Come on,

721
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:06.039
dude, yeah, what this is
so easy? Joe Biden, Joe Biden

722
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.320
could plan a mini This isn't like
she said, This isn't like you's saying,

723
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:13.360
plan a wedding. Yeah, right, that's for about a picture,

724
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:21.599
about a picture to burn like a
spicy afriget picture. I'm just you.

725
00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:27.159
You you've surrendered your last castle.
Surrendered one A. That's what the castle

726
00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:30.360
is called the bar. Yeah,
surrendered one A. It's the Swifties.

727
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:34.760
So listen. I like Taylor,
so I'm not a Swiftie. But you

728
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.719
know, now we've got this.
It's not it's the it's the scene.

729
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:40.480
It's it's like it's pickles and ice
cream, right, this is football,

730
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.239
right, and I think a line
was crossed, But I mean that's for

731
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:47.800
me to try to figure out on
this end by your wife or Taylor's Yeah,

732
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:52.000
yeah, I mean this is why
so many of us were against Taylor

733
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:55.519
being all the attention for the games, because this is the inevitable outcome,

734
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:59.079
right, Like, you know this
is gonna and look at us, now,

735
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:00.920
what are we about? Three minut
It's all right, exactly what everybody

736
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:04.800
wants. I don't care. But
the problem is you need to push back

737
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:07.599
hard and right. So you can't
just be like I need to take back

738
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:15.760
my uh my football viewing. We
need to go deeper. And you know,

739
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:19.559
I so you got this art of
the deal. I think, really

740
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.440
what you have to do is you
have to go full you have to come

741
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:27.280
fully out against the Nineteenth Amendment and
then negotiate from there. So all right,

742
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.519
I'm writing this down right. Tell
your wife. Tell your wife,

743
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:35.880
we need to do away with the
nineteenth Amendment. Okay, how that goes?

744
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:40.079
Yeah, and then she'll then she'll
look it up and then her face

745
00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:44.559
is gonna contort. So have fun
to be outside with the black and white

746
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:46.119
TV with the rabbit ears watching the
game. That's wrong, you know what,

747
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:52.079
But she'll be free, that's what. Yeah. Anyway, sorry,

748
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:59.599
best chance of rate. So you
got time for weather? You want to?

749
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:01.679
Yeah? What the hell? Okay, okay, yeah, that's Friday,

750
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:05.599
right, The best the best day
of the next few probably be today.

751
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:08.599
Little rain will try to clip us
over the weekend. Today will be

752
01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:14.440
in the low sixties and upper fifties, eventually trying to come back for daytime

753
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:15.480
highs, which is where we should
be. But tomorrow is going to be

754
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:20.079
warm. We could be near seventy
and we might have summer in the afternoon

755
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.880
with the gustie breezebor really I think
now most of tomorrow during the day may

756
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:27.280
be dry, and that rain is
going to come in on Sunday, so

757
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:34.119
a great day to sit inside and
watch the fat what But yeah, I

758
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:37.679
don't know. I don't know what
we're gonna be stuff. I hope beforehand

759
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:43.800
Taylor Swift karaoke doesn't break out.
Oh my gosh, how could this?

760
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:49.800
Oh I never thought I could get
I could go off on the I should

761
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:54.840
tell you the Taylor Swift karaoke incident
that we don't talk about anymore. We'll

762
01:00:54.880 --> 01:01:00.599
talk about that one day. So
rain Sunday and then showers. Are you

763
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:04.119
like, are you martyring yourself?
What is happening? Yeah? I am.

764
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:08.239
I am at sunshine returning early next
week, so best chance of rain

765
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:12.880
Sunday better, slowly gets better as
we get it. The next weekend cooler.

766
01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:15.840
Nobody even knows what I said.
This is a cry for help.

767
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:22.760
Oh I don't even know. Man. All right, Well, look I

768
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:28.079
gave you some ideas. Run them
by. Start with the nineteenth Amendment,

769
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:31.280
negotiate back from there, the Women's
Voting Amendment, and then you know,

770
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:35.000
I see where you land. All
right, you're welcome. All right,

771
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:38.440
there you go, raised agic doomed. We'll be back. Hang on phone

772
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.320
number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seventy four O though, and

773
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:45.519
I'm looking at the time, probably
hold off on that because I got just

774
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:49.679
a couple of minutes and then Pete
Callender will join us after the top of

775
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:53.840
the hour, and obviously we'll get
into the Biden stop, but also some

776
01:01:53.920 --> 01:02:01.719
local stuff and whatever else enters my
brain. But first, but first,

777
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:12.559
I don't know why I find this
so funny, but I saw it was

778
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:17.960
a Rolling Stone article I was reading
yesterday. Obviously you have seen stories of

779
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:30.159
individuals who are making or producing a
or using AI to generate deep fake adult

780
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:36.239
videos of people, and it's really
creepy, right, it is really creepy.

781
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:38.360
I don't you know. It's one
of those things where it's like,

782
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:42.960
but is it illegal? And then
it comes down to is it used to

783
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:47.039
harass? And but it is just
it's just creepy off the get go right

784
01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:52.800
in the same way that that blow
up dolls creepy if if you really think

785
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:57.280
about it, or the sex pot
or any of that. But if that's

786
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:01.920
for you, fine, but most
people are gonna have that reaction and you

787
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:09.079
know, making those deep fake video
like okay, fine, we're on the

788
01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:15.400
same page, but that's not what
the women in this article are mad about

789
01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:22.400
The women in the article are mad
because Internet bros four Chan read whoever it

790
01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:30.679
is, are you using AI not
to create nudes of them or you know,

791
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:37.840
sex videos, but instead they're finding
women who are posting really provocative content

792
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:45.039
online. Right, So maybe they're
not full cam girls, but they're thirst

793
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:50.480
traps if you've heard that term,
and using AI to put clothes on them.

794
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:54.159
So it's just the photo, right, it's some photo of a chick

795
01:03:54.199 --> 01:04:03.079
in a way too small top moments
from you know, everyone escaping doing some

796
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:08.400
sort of like photo where she's been
over picking something up by the pool and

797
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:12.400
oh, I'm just a casual moment. I'm gonna post it online. And

798
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:16.119
then the dudes are coming on and
the and now they're dressed like the Amish,

799
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:23.519
and they're so mad and the author
was so sympathetic that they wrote a

800
01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:33.360
whole article in a four Chan led
campaign called putting clothes on thoughts. They

801
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:38.920
that's what they're doing. They're just
finding these photos, these these you know

802
01:04:38.960 --> 01:04:41.760
where these photos are right on the
edge of you know, if you ever

803
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:44.159
go to get a job, I
don't know that you want those floating around

804
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:46.400
out there. And then just dressing
them up all conservative. We have vladim

805
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:53.519
Re pooting stuff. We got Joe
Biden holding the pressor which did not do

806
01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:57.199
him any favors at least in my
analysis. And to help us break his

807
01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:03.239
down is our radio buddy from the
South, Midday's WBT, Pete Calender,

808
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:08.480
joining us this morning. How you
doing, Pete? I'm doing all right?

809
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:12.440
How are you? I'm good?
Ross did did? Did his test

810
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:14.119
come back clean? As he?
Good? To god? I didn't.

811
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:17.159
I'm sorry we had we had Pete
drug tested, so yeah, I'm sorry

812
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:21.119
about that. That's yeah, I'm
sorry. I made fun of you and

813
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:26.880
you were to see that Daniel at
the dentist video, but oh yeah,

814
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.119
no, that was no. I
would that, that's fine. I did

815
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:35.119
not realize that the text message I
said you was confusing for you. Guys.

816
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:39.639
Well it's the part where you said
you were going to be on the

817
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:43.639
show and then the text you sent
us the message to tell us you weren't,

818
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:45.920
but then you said you were.
But I also knew what was you

819
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.119
know what was up? And I'm
like, oh man, he's got the

820
01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:54.239
good stuff so well, and yeah, I don't even remember if at that

821
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:59.880
point I had taken a pill.
Oh well, I wouldn't admit that I

822
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.079
was. I was like delirious from
the pain. So I went in for

823
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:09.519
what was supposed to be just a
consultation for a for the removal of a

824
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:13.360
cyst that was on my back.
And I'd had this thing for like a

825
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:16.719
decade. But when I went in
there for this consultation, they were like,

826
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:21.280
oh no, this thing. It's
very bad under the skin. It

827
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:25.599
had it had ruptured, it was
very painful, and it was growing,

828
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:27.719
and they were like, we got
to take it out right now. I

829
01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:30.119
was like, oh, okay,
well what does that mean. I figured,

830
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:34.039
you know, just a little,
a little slicing and dice in local

831
01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:38.880
and on my way, And for
the most part that was true. But

832
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:42.639
it took a long time, and
they cut very very deeply, to the

833
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:45.360
point where they had to go back
for like three different rounds. They had

834
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:50.920
to send out for some more local
anesthetic because yeah, yeah, yeah,

835
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:56.119
they did like three or four rounds
of it because they had to keep cutting,

836
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:59.840
and as they would cut and it's
like, oh yeah, that's not

837
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.840
that's that part's not numb yet.
So then they had to spray that down

838
01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:06.320
and then cut deeper. Then oh, that part's not numb yet either.

839
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:10.199
And so by the time it was
all over, I think my body had

840
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:15.159
gone into some level of shock.
I was like shaking and all. Yeah,

841
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:17.760
it was like the adrenaline had kicked
in. It was it was not

842
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:24.079
it was not an ideal scenario.
Yeah, and you know, it's not

843
01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:27.760
like you have to work well seated
in a chair either, so well,

844
01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:30.000
I couldn't even say ye, it's
like so then it's like I got this

845
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:32.119
big open hole in my back and
they wouldn't stitch it up because it had

846
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:34.639
to keep training. It's all very
nasty, and so I was like,

847
01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:39.960
it's a and then they forgot to
send in the prescription for the painkiller.

848
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:44.599
Oh so all right, right,
So I drove and then sat in the

849
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:47.199
line, and then the local anesthetic
is wearing off, and then I get

850
01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:50.519
in the to the to the CBS
and I'm like, we don't have anything

851
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:55.039
for you, so they just think
you're some drug seeking behavior dude. Now

852
01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:57.800
I know. That was the worst
part. And then I have to call

853
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:00.960
the doctor's office and of course they're
not there are closed now, and so

854
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:03.719
then they're like, oh, you've
got to you can call and talk to

855
01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:06.760
some you know, somebody on call. So I get to this person on

856
01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:11.960
call and I'm like, I need
the antibiotic, but I also need you

857
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:15.519
were going to give me a pain
pill and h and They're like, well,

858
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:18.119
we can't just do that over the
phone. But I'm not some junkie.

859
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:21.079
I'm not like I just just tell
me something else to take. So

860
01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:25.560
tilanol anyway, I took to thilanol
and a big fan. Now I'm a

861
01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:28.159
big fan of the tailan al.
Now, you know, when I had

862
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:30.159
my wisdom teeth out, my dentis
was like, I'm not going to give

863
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:33.840
you prescription, but i want you
to take these really high doses of both

864
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:41.359
aspirin and ibuprofens. You're getting both
of them and like amounts that I was

865
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:44.239
like, okay, I can take
that much, but you know what,

866
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:47.199
it kind of works. So yeah, now it's my it's kind of my

867
01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:51.279
go too, which is this is
not medical advice I'm giving anybody, but

868
01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:56.600
that seemed to be the right dosage
for you know, wisdom teeth just getting

869
01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:00.199
removed. And I've had a couple
other injuries since then where I just it's

870
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:04.399
like I'll just go this route because
you're made to feel bad. Now if

871
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:09.319
you want painkillers, it's really weird. Yeah right, And I don't want

872
01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:13.439
to get hooked. Yeah right.
And so they did eventually call it.

873
01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:15.520
I spoke to another doctor and she
was very nice, and she was like,

874
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:17.720
I don't know if I can call
it in, but I'll try,

875
01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:20.760
and she did, and so I
got but all I took was the one

876
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:25.520
pill because I like, I don't
I just need enough so I fall asleep

877
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:28.800
tonight, you know. Uh.
And then after that it was fine.

878
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:31.760
So I was just taking the tiling
off. So yeah, and well and

879
01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:35.640
before that, I'm glad that because
before that I've been in that situation.

880
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:40.000
What I had to do was get
a Vegas suite, two hookers, and

881
01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:44.119
a pile of crack and then a
gun and then like like it was,

882
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:46.000
you know, this therapy that I
had worked out and it worked for me,

883
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:49.680
but you know I should try that
every time. Yeah, No,

884
01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:55.439
it's fun. Yeah, you might
need to put me on the plane,

885
01:09:55.479 --> 01:09:58.359
though I might need some help from
her to get me on the plane.

886
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:02.479
Today, I see, Okay,
all right, So yesterday just because we

887
01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:08.119
got to get into this, so
yesterday you get Tucker Carlson, Vladimir Putin,

888
01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:13.840
and and here's the thing. Everyone's
like, see, we told you

889
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:17.079
he was going to propagandize his position, and I'm like, no, everybody

890
01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:20.840
knew that in the same way that
Zelenski doing all those photo ops is about

891
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:26.399
instilling like this is and any with
the exception, although I've come to this

892
01:10:26.399 --> 01:10:32.479
conclusion with the exception maybe of democrats
in the US and European liberals who would

893
01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:38.520
readily denounce their own position seemingly to
pander and and you know, do the

894
01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:44.760
struggle session with people. I didn't
expect anything less from Vladimir Putin that he

895
01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:46.159
was going to come in and be
like, I'm right, here's what I

896
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:50.359
think. That's not new. And
yet that seems to be what they're trying

897
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:55.600
to hang Tucker on, including a
discussion I saw on Twitter yesterday where a

898
01:10:55.680 --> 01:11:00.279
lawyer was handicapping whether he could be
charged with the Espionage Act leadership in the

899
01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:04.399
EUSE and they may put a travel
ban on him. So was it so

900
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:11.399
extraordinary as to elicit this response will
start with the Putin stuff. No,

901
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:15.359
No, he just no, he
got an interview with a foreign leader that

902
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:20.159
nobody likes. And if that's if
that is beyond the pale. Well,

903
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:27.159
I mean, join the long list
of journalistic outfits for the last century that

904
01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:31.239
have gotten interviews with foreign leaders that
people don't like. This is something that

905
01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:36.439
journalists actually celebrate when they get these
interviews. They've been a lot out of

906
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:40.600
them being alten I remember watching was
at Mike Wallace. I can't remember who

907
01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:47.079
interview John Miller interviewing him, and
then they interviewed remember slogan on Melosovich.

908
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:54.119
This is this is a dude who
was actively being sought for prosecution for genocide,

909
01:11:54.800 --> 01:11:58.039
and he was on one of the
CBS news I think it is what

910
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:04.039
it was. Yeah, right,
it's a convenient cudgel for the media and

911
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:10.800
Democrats. But I repeat myself to
beat the snot out of Tucker Carlson and

912
01:12:10.920 --> 01:12:15.279
Donald Trump and everybody on the right
as being you know, putin loving uh

913
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:20.520
anti American insurrectionists. That's the saw. Yeah, what I saw, I'm

914
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:25.840
sorry. What I saw was a
dude who I absolutely believes has his enemies

915
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.520
killed, who longs for the days
of the USSR and views it as in

916
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:33.760
the same perspective. I think some
Americans would that if we had, like

917
01:12:33.800 --> 01:12:38.720
if the US had collapsed at the
end of the Cold War, there'd be

918
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:43.399
a lot of people very nostalgic.
And that is all Putin approaches things because

919
01:12:43.479 --> 01:12:46.520
those even though he's richer than he's
ever been, those were the good old

920
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:50.640
days. But never for a moment
do I think he's a good guy or

921
01:12:50.680 --> 01:12:56.520
anyone I would want to be in
an elevated window near. So it didn't

922
01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:59.720
change anything. Did anything change for
you? Sorry? Go ahead? And

923
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:00.800
the other I think no. The
other thing, just real quick to keep

924
01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:05.279
in mind is that you know,
people are expecting or demanding the Tucker Carlson,

925
01:13:05.359 --> 01:13:10.199
you know, do some you know, hardball interview with Vladimir Putin,

926
01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:13.760
Like you are aware that he will
throw you out the window if you ask

927
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:17.000
him stuff that he deems to be
inappropriate. There are people literally in jail

928
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:24.039
right now in uh in Russia for
committing acts of journalism. So like to

929
01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:29.680
fix on this was always in but
for Tucker Carlson, like he's using Putin

930
01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:33.520
in order to get the interview,
so he gets an audience. That's I

931
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:38.479
mean, And that's I'm not saying
that to detigrate the guy. That's what

932
01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:42.960
media does. This is a big
get This is an international news story that

933
01:13:43.000 --> 01:13:46.159
he got to sit down with Vladimir
Putin and do this interview. So yeah,

934
01:13:46.359 --> 01:13:50.479
he uses Putin and Putin uses him. Oh my gosh, the shocking

935
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:56.079
nature of media, Right and CNN
at their initial position was nobody should be

936
01:13:56.079 --> 01:13:59.039
talking to him, and then when
Carlson put that teas around and said,

937
01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:02.039
you know, nobody's none of the
mainstreams. That woman is on CNN weeping,

938
01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:05.279
I can't remember her name, damn
near in tears, saying we keep

939
01:14:05.319 --> 01:14:09.680
asking for an interview, and it's
like, hold on, what's your position

940
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.840
then, but which is it?
Yeah? Right, Well, it's the

941
01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:15.199
same thing with the border deal.
Right, it's like, it's not a

942
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:18.720
crisis, border secure, not a
crisis, border secure. We keep hearing

943
01:14:18.760 --> 01:14:21.279
that for three years, and then
as soon as the bill fails, then

944
01:14:21.279 --> 01:14:25.239
it's, oh my gosh, the
Republicans don't want the border secure. Well

945
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:28.319
wait a minute, I thought it
was secure. What's the deal. It's

946
01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:32.319
like Joe Biden being accused of being
elderly and feeble minded, so we can't

947
01:14:32.359 --> 01:14:35.399
prosecute him, and then the Democrats
are like, no, he's not okay,

948
01:14:35.399 --> 01:14:38.720
so wait a minute, so you
should prosecute him, is that what

949
01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:45.520
you're arguing for, Like these positions
are just completely ridiculously illogically contradictory all the

950
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:49.560
time, and but that that position
is morphed because you're right, I did

951
01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:53.640
see that initially, or they're like, no, that's not fair. And

952
01:14:53.680 --> 01:15:00.000
then people I saw some were scooting
to the Uh it's a Republican conspiracy because

953
01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:03.840
is the special prosecutor? Is Trump
pulled over or whatever? And I'm like,

954
01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:08.439
all right, so if you think
that he was going all in to

955
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:14.520
get Biden, Uh, the they
chose not to either also charge the people

956
01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:18.000
around him, including that ghost saw
the ghostwriter or direted those those videos,

957
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:23.479
right, which is almost on the
nose for what some of the Trump people

958
01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:28.880
were charged over basically basically video evidence
being deleted. So I mean, it

959
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:32.119
still appears that there's a double standard, and I but I want to go

960
01:15:32.159 --> 01:15:38.000
forward. D Chess. Do you
think that people around we know, the

961
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:42.119
people around Joe Biden would never tell
him that he's that anything's wrong, right,

962
01:15:42.359 --> 01:15:45.600
But like, and that's got to
be tough because like if you're by

963
01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:49.319
I almost felt bad for Biden because
like nobody's gonna tell him he's screwing up

964
01:15:49.399 --> 01:15:56.479
and one of the reactions that people
have to cognitive decline his anger understandably.

965
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:00.920
So so letting him go out was
that his idea because I can't believe anyone

966
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:05.159
would recommend it, or did somebody
recommend it because two birds won stone.

967
01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:11.039
It gets him out of there,
and it simultaneously detracts from anything that was

968
01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:15.880
on the Putent Tucker thing. So
how conspiratorial do you want to go on?

969
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:19.640
Why he took the podium yesterday and
talked about the Mexican president not opening

970
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:25.439
the gates and the Sinai Peninsula.
Yeah, well, I think you know,

971
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:30.239
I saw somebody on Twitter, Sonny
right say that denial is not just

972
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:35.479
a river in Mexico, So yeah, yeah, so I think. Look,

973
01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:40.520
I don't know. I think Joe
Biden, when he demands something,

974
01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:44.239
I think staff to first, right. I think that they they do a

975
01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:45.640
lot. If he says I want
to go out there, I want to

976
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:47.600
say, you know what, I
want to say, I could do this

977
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:51.880
news conference. I do think that
that they let him do that, So

978
01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:56.520
I have to I got to believe
that they allowed him to do this.

979
01:16:56.920 --> 01:17:00.000
They may have tried to talk him
out of it, and we're not successful.

980
01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:03.439
But what I'm seeing quotes like at
Axios and these are all, of

981
01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:08.119
course, you know, anonymous quotes, but they've got one from a quote

982
01:17:08.199 --> 01:17:14.359
former Biden aide who said taking the
nomination away from Biden is like taking the

983
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:17.159
car keys away from your parents.
And look, I do a lot of

984
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:21.760
work with the Alzheimer's Association. My
grandfather died of Alzheimer's years ago. We

985
01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:27.439
had that conversation with him to taking
the car keys away, and anybody who

986
01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:30.760
has had this in their lives,
they know. And I've been saying this

987
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.560
for years. When I look at
Joe Biden, I look at the spatial

988
01:17:32.600 --> 01:17:38.000
expressions, but more importantly, there's
a look in his eye that comes and

989
01:17:38.039 --> 01:17:42.159
goes, and I recognize that look, and I don't know what to call

990
01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:46.119
it. It's sort of like a
like a gleaming kind of distant stare that

991
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:50.840
the eyes kind they kind of go
to. And when I see that,

992
01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:56.279
that reminds me of my grandfather.
And I've noticed that for years. And

993
01:17:56.319 --> 01:17:58.880
I don't say this in order to
denigrate the guy. I'm not trying to

994
01:17:58.920 --> 01:18:04.159
be mean. Actually said that there
are people around him that continue to have

995
01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:11.159
him in these situations because they don't
want to give up the grail. That's

996
01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:15.039
what to me, that's what's occurring. And so he goes out there and

997
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:18.600
he starts yelling at people, and
he presents himself as this irritable, elderly

998
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:24.439
old man with memory issues, and
the whole point was to go out there

999
01:18:24.479 --> 01:18:27.960
and disabuse people of this notion.
So, and by the way, there

1000
01:18:28.039 --> 01:18:31.800
is a term for this. It's
called sundowners where and in that same Axios

1001
01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:34.920
piece, you've got a Democrat house
member saying, you know, why would

1002
01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:38.600
they let him go out this time
of night, and you know, do

1003
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:42.159
this thing? He should have done
it in the morning when he's fresh again.

1004
01:18:42.399 --> 01:18:45.920
That's sundowners. So there are obviously
people around him and in the know

1005
01:18:46.119 --> 01:18:50.279
in Democrat circles, they understand what's
going on. The fact that they continue

1006
01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:57.000
to allow the country to be led
by him and his aids the people around

1007
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.079
him, that to me is the
danger. That's a d the argument.

1008
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:03.960
Yeah, But the argument on that
is he's not leading it, right,

1009
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:08.680
so they can justify it by going, no, he's not the guy making

1010
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:13.359
decisions. We have like aren't they
bringing Axel Road back for something I saw?

1011
01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:16.279
But it's like it's the same cats
that have been hanging out there since

1012
01:19:16.279 --> 01:19:20.319
the Clinton administration. Right, yeah, so in their minds, well,

1013
01:19:20.359 --> 01:19:24.279
they know what to do, and
you know, we hold on to the

1014
01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:28.880
power and he doesn't push back,
and which is very devious, right well,

1015
01:19:28.920 --> 01:19:31.760
and dangerous before that very reason,
which is that he is now a

1016
01:19:31.800 --> 01:19:39.000
scapegoat. Right if we assume the
premise that other people and these aids and

1017
01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:44.439
people around him are actually running the
show, and they're doing it without his

1018
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:47.760
knowledge because he's either incapable of understanding
it or they keep him in the dark

1019
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:54.119
or whatever, the effect is still
the same right where they're running the show.

1020
01:19:54.319 --> 01:19:58.640
If anything goes wrong, they make
a bad decision, whatever, they're

1021
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:02.840
gonna blame him comes the scapegoat.
And that means then that they are there

1022
01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:08.079
are machinations involved that we don't know
and who the players are and what their

1023
01:20:08.119 --> 01:20:11.680
motives are. Right with at least
with him, if you know that he

1024
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:15.039
is competent and he's all there and
he's in charge, then you know kind

1025
01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:18.680
of what his motives can be,
which would be to win reelection. But

1026
01:20:18.760 --> 01:20:24.560
if we don't know what the leader's
motives are anymore, now, now that's

1027
01:20:24.560 --> 01:20:27.800
a dangerous situation because they can just
kind of pin it all on him,

1028
01:20:28.079 --> 01:20:31.039
make terrible decisions and enrich themselves or
put the country in a bad spot and

1029
01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:35.880
they and they can then skate on
that. Yeah, last question, just

1030
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:39.920
real quick. I got about a
minute. Did you see that in Alabama?

1031
01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:43.399
As somebody stole a radio station's tower
in the middle of the well the

1032
01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:46.319
headline, but then I never I
never followed up and read the piece.

1033
01:20:46.439 --> 01:20:49.039
I'm astounded. Would they just do
it for the medal? I guess,

1034
01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:51.520
is that what they're doing? But
I looked at it, and we even

1035
01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:54.920
looked up on Google matt it wasn't
in the middle of nowhere. It's like

1036
01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:59.319
on the edge of town, next
to like a holiday inn and a mattress

1037
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.640
firm and like some government offices,
and it's you know, it's an FM.

1038
01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:08.840
Uh, state just stole the tower. Is it like a conservative news

1039
01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:12.960
talker? Like, no, it's
not like a local oldies and news.

1040
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.840
You know, it's very small towns. You know, they're doing stuary and

1041
01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:17.119
stuff like that. But yeah,
they stole their whole tower, man.

1042
01:21:17.680 --> 01:21:24.640
And uh, the industriousness of crackheads
is astounding. Man. If that's what

1043
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:27.439
in fact, what it was,
but uh, we'll leave it there.

1044
01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:31.479
And uh, well, I'm glad
you're feeling better. We told everyone you

1045
01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:34.800
got shot with a cannonball and we're
on horse, so we'll do that.

1046
01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:38.640
I mean, that is what it
felt like. Yeah, okay, all

1047
01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:41.479
right, man, I have a
good one old time k c O DA

1048
01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:45.119
radio program in case you need more
than you know the future of the country

1049
01:21:45.239 --> 01:21:53.760
and beating your family and who the
hell knows what else to worry about.

1050
01:21:54.840 --> 01:22:00.600
I'd like to introduce mutant wolves of
Chernobyl, but in a pot positive light.

1051
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:06.840
Hear me out, So this story
right here, mutant wolves roaming Chernobyl

1052
01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:15.359
exclusion zone have developed cancer resilient abilities. All right. So one of the

1053
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:25.159
things in and around Chernobyl is wolves
and was it wild hogs that both when

1054
01:22:25.239 --> 01:22:30.239
they study them, they still have
elevated levels of radioactivity that far exceed would

1055
01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:34.600
we would consider healthy. So it's
not the first time they talked about it.

1056
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:41.680
But in studying them, they've also
figured out that the animals, because

1057
01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:45.319
they are obviously inundated, right,
this is this is what adaption looks like.

1058
01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:54.600
They're inundated in this environment where their
body's normal reaction is to you know,

1059
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:59.880
get cancer, right, that's what
radioactivity does. They have started to

1060
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:04.640
literally adapt to it, and it
is that adaptation that scientists are discovering.

1061
01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:09.960
Is how wild is it? Now? Who the hell knows? Right,

1062
01:23:10.359 --> 01:23:15.239
I don't know if this is gonna
pan out or it's true even really other

1063
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:20.640
than in a speculative way, but
like, can you imagine this world of

1064
01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:27.880
the inability to historically provide perspective on
things? Can you imagine if what cures

1065
01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:32.479
cancer turns out to be the Chernobyl
disaster? That's just I don't know,

1066
01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:38.199
it's kind of crazy to me.
Man. It's like, yeah, we've

1067
01:23:38.319 --> 01:23:46.560
used this incident a couple others to
essentially handcuff the world from utilizing nuclear energy.

1068
01:23:46.680 --> 01:23:50.119
Right, every time somebody brings it
up, some moonbat with a flower

1069
01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:57.880
in their hair is like, remember
Chernobyl, Remember Chernobyl? And then they

1070
01:23:57.920 --> 01:24:00.560
also go remember three Mile Island.
You're like, yeah, that worked out

1071
01:24:00.680 --> 01:24:04.880
was supposed to, right, they
had a problem, they had this this

1072
01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:11.479
thing going critical and then they implemented
the the protocols there and it didn't.

1073
01:24:11.640 --> 01:24:15.880
But going back to Chernobyl, yeah, like if that kick starts cancer research,

1074
01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:20.159
that's going to be awkward. But
Hey, look, any anything,

1075
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:28.600
anything that you got that kills cancer. I mean, if you think that

1076
01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:31.039
that's a valid way to explore it, uh, you know, by all

1077
01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:33.800
means, I just how'd you like
to be the person who has to go

1078
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:40.319
wrangle the the the radioactive wolves.
Like, can you think of a worse

1079
01:24:40.439 --> 01:24:44.600
job? There's the guy who mops
at the you know, with the adult

1080
01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:48.600
bookstore, and then there's the hey
man, like you think your day at

1081
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:51.880
work sucks? Can you imagine Bill? Come? I will just say his

1082
01:24:51.960 --> 01:24:56.720
name is Bill. Probably not because
this is in Ukraine, but it comes

1083
01:24:56.760 --> 01:24:59.680
in. They're like, Bill,
we need two more radioactive wolves. And

1084
01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:04.159
is just shredded. And I don't
mean in the workout way. All right,

1085
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:10.760
go get two more radioactive wolves.
Let's see, in fact, evolutionary

1086
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:18.560
biologists and eco toxologists toxicologistscuse me,
it's a title, say that they have

1087
01:25:18.760 --> 01:25:26.680
been since twenty fourteen capturing and studying
these wolves, and I have noticed that

1088
01:25:26.960 --> 01:25:32.920
literally they've started to not react and
form cancers to the extent that they used

1089
01:25:32.960 --> 01:25:38.560
to. It's just kind of incredible. I just wanted to kind of throw

1090
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:41.880
that in the mix. All right, let me get back over to this

1091
01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:53.680
because we are quickly running out of
time. We have a cancelation. This

1092
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:57.600
is this is going to hit your
kids hard, especially as the weather gets

1093
01:25:57.680 --> 01:26:10.840
nicer. But unfortunately we have no
cancelation. So now parents need to not

1094
01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:19.399
allow their kids to play on carousels. Activists have decided that your kids,

1095
01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:23.840
well, I don't know your kid's
favorite carnival ride, but definitely one of

1096
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:28.920
the most iconic, which of course
is the carousel, usually with the horses.

1097
01:26:29.119 --> 01:26:31.760
But yeah, they make with all
sorts of things, but in its

1098
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:42.079
purest form. The protesters have targeted
Chance Rides, which is a Kansas based

1099
01:26:42.079 --> 01:26:47.199
company and is the largest manufacturer of
carousels in the country, claiming the organization

1100
01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:56.880
that uses designs of horses and other
animals is unintentionally celebrating the exploitation of animals,

1101
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:02.760
training kids that horses are to be
ridden and it is to be a

1102
01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:08.000
joyful experience. Proven once again that
there will be no fun had here.

1103
01:27:09.560 --> 01:27:12.039
And by the way, why are
they only going after the horse one?

1104
01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:15.439
Correct me if I'm wrong, Ross, But at Disney, can't you force

1105
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.520
an elephant to fly you around?
Isn't that a ride there? Oh?

1106
01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:23.720
It definitely is. Yeah, yeah, wow, much of them. You

1107
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:26.960
were exploiting baby elephants? Is that
true? Did you do that when you

1108
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:30.319
were at the park? Oh?
Completely? Oh man, Like, what

1109
01:27:30.359 --> 01:27:38.520
the hell are you talking about?
It's it's it's intentionally because the alternative is

1110
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:42.439
ponies, right right, So if
you want to put a kid on there,

1111
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:45.319
you can take the kid to the
carousel where they're carved out of wood

1112
01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:49.199
or made out of you know whatever, or you can get them an actual

1113
01:27:49.319 --> 01:27:55.000
pony. Have you ever been you
ever been to a pony riding operation?

1114
01:27:55.279 --> 01:27:59.079
Right? Well, that's just it. That's what it is all day.

1115
01:27:59.159 --> 01:28:04.159
There's no life in those horses eyes. Man, So the wood altern it.

1116
01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:08.880
You should be celebrating this, but
no, we got to cancel those

1117
01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:15.039
So no having fun and Ingrid Newkirk, as president of PETE, has quote

1118
01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:19.119
in this article saying that quote children
learn through play and teaching, and you

1119
01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:24.520
need to teach them to have respect
and compassion for all living feeling beans.

1120
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:30.920
Well, do you think the kids
think those horses are real? That I

1121
01:28:30.960 --> 01:28:33.760
don't have little kids. Is there
a period where they go through with like,

1122
01:28:33.800 --> 01:28:39.840
oh, these are real horses?
Because I think I think they don't.

1123
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:44.039
I think they recognize it for what
it is even as little kids,

1124
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:47.079
But hey, what do I know? All right? Eight forty three Here

1125
01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:53.239
on the CaCO Day radio program,
Bloomberg Update, Jeff Bellinger, what's going

1126
01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:58.880
on today? Good morning, Casey. The major averages made modest advances yesterday,

1127
01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:00.600
and it looks like we'll start out
higher this morning. S and P

1128
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:05.279
futures are up thirteen. Nasdaq futures
or up sixty five. The Dow futures

1129
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:09.880
are up seventy four. If these
numbers hold, this could be the day

1130
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:14.079
we go above five thousand on the
S and P five hundred. New rules

1131
01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:17.840
may not mean we'll get fewer robocalls, but if callers follow the rules,

1132
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:21.720
and that's a big if we can
be sure we're not listening to fake messages

1133
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:29.520
generated by artificial intelligence. The Federal
Communications Commission voted unanimously to outlaw calls that

1134
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:33.800
use AI generated voices. Entirely simulated
voices are banned, and so are those

1135
01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:39.279
that imitate a real person. You
mail reported yesterday, the consumers here in

1136
01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:45.960
the US received nearly four point three
billion robocalls last month. The global shipping

1137
01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:49.000
giant Marisk issued a profit warning today, Marsk saying its earnings are going to

1138
01:29:49.000 --> 01:29:53.880
take a hit this year because of
the double whammy from attacks in the Red

1139
01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:58.600
Sea and industry over capacity. There's
a recall you may need to know about

1140
01:29:58.640 --> 01:30:03.800
handheld clothing Steamer sold under the Steamfast, Ornado and Sharper Image brand names being

1141
01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:09.800
recalled because of a serious burn hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the

1142
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:15.359
recall involves about two million steamer sold
since two thousand and nine by Walmart,

1143
01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:19.680
Amazon, Bedbath and Beyond and other
retailers. Experts are still struggling to get

1144
01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:25.880
a handle on exactly how artificial intelligence
is affecting the nation's workforce. Casey.

1145
01:30:26.239 --> 01:30:30.960
Since last May, companies have announced
they were cutting forty six hundred jobs,

1146
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:35.880
either to free up resources to hire
more AI specialists or because AI had replaced

1147
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:42.039
tasks. But the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas says that numbers definitely

1148
01:30:42.399 --> 01:30:47.479
and undercount. Because layoffs attributed to
AI gets so much attention, employers generally

1149
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:53.720
don't mention the technology when they announced
cutbacks. Challenger says the firms would rather

1150
01:30:53.880 --> 01:30:57.479
fly under the radar. Casey,
all right, thank you, Jeff.

1151
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:01.159
You're doing a tailor swift theme.
Does super Party Sunday now? With my

1152
01:31:01.239 --> 01:31:04.880
schedule, I'll be I'll be in
bed before the game even starts. Uh

1153
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:10.119
yeah yeah. Our weather guy,
his wife took over and it's it's pretty

1154
01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:13.039
horrible, man, So we're pulling
for him. But what are you gonna

1155
01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:15.119
do? All right? Thank you, Jeff, appreciate it all right,

1156
01:31:15.199 --> 01:31:17.479
have a nice weekend. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, Jeff Ellinger, Bloomberg

1157
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:29.720
News. There. Speaking of football, I I know you guys have uh

1158
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:36.000
Bill's fans have been dealt a series
of disrespectful stories kind of it's like almost

1159
01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:40.479
part of your guys's image at this
point, you know, Josh Allen,

1160
01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:46.119
MVPCE at whatever. But the fact
that your dude didn't win Comeback Player of

1161
01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:51.760
the Year DeMar Hamlin versus Joe Flacco. They gave that award out yesterday.

1162
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:58.880
How does that work? Joe Flacco
came back from what his couch right because

1163
01:31:58.880 --> 01:32:02.279
he was out and then brought in
what mid season, and then your dude

1164
01:32:02.319 --> 01:32:08.000
came back from death, came back
from the dark void of death, Like

1165
01:32:08.039 --> 01:32:11.840
what, what's the dame? I'm
sorry, a Comeback Player of the Year.

1166
01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:16.560
I feel like that wins, but
it didn't win. So sorry,

1167
01:32:16.600 --> 01:32:18.760
you got a little sidetracked. There. Although actually, now that I'm on

1168
01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:23.560
a sports tangent, one other thing, dude, what is going on with

1169
01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:29.000
the Saudis. So they they're awarding
their top their top award for sports right

1170
01:32:29.039 --> 01:32:32.159
within the Riad Soccer League or whatever
it is, which is you know,

1171
01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:35.720
is not the Premier league. But
they have so much money. It kind

1172
01:32:35.720 --> 01:32:43.119
of is like, remember that's where
the Portuguese so much I know about soccer,

1173
01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:45.960
Rinaldo, Right, didn't he go
play with her? All right?

1174
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:51.039
But so you did all that.
You have unlimited funds at least for now,

1175
01:32:51.359 --> 01:32:58.800
and so you can do things like
have the Undertaker be the trophy percenter

1176
01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:03.279
at your thing. Dude, I'm
telling you, man, it must be

1177
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:06.479
good to have an endless spigot of
money. Yeah, and they recently they

1178
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:11.159
did they did a crown jewel of
it now with wrestling with the wrestler Like

1179
01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:13.920
right, yeah, I said,
like, if I'm ever kidnapped by Saudis,

1180
01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:15.760
like if that ever happens, right, there's a good chance it could,

1181
01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:18.239
right yeah, right? If I
kidding that by the Saudis. The

1182
01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:21.960
first thing I do, I just
start talking about wrestling and the like a

1183
01:33:21.960 --> 01:33:26.880
week I'm like a shaw or however, it works over there. I don't

1184
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:29.760
know that that's how it works.
Yeah, full disclosure. Not really sure

1185
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:30.920
how it works over time. But
what I'm saying is I would get around

1186
01:33:30.960 --> 01:33:33.920
and get away safely. I don't
think they have a shot. Let go

1187
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:39.119
whatever you go. There's an opening. Yeah, and still you're right away.

1188
01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:42.279
But if you're the Shaw, you
got to you gotta open all your

1189
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:46.079
speeches with death to America, so
like, you know, you got to

1190
01:33:46.119 --> 01:33:48.920
come to terms with that, all
right. So that's Ross's kidnapp plan.

1191
01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:53.760
He's gonna talk wrestling. Somebody said
it and they're not inaccurate. They're like

1192
01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:58.399
the Saudis are like, what would
happen if a ten year old had unlimited

1193
01:33:58.399 --> 01:34:01.039
money or just or me or you? Right, you know what I'm saying,

1194
01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:04.239
just doing stupid stuff. Yeah,
you're like, oh what if what

1195
01:34:04.319 --> 01:34:08.960
do we get the Undertaker to raise
the trophy to his theme music? Yeah,

1196
01:34:09.159 --> 01:34:12.439
it'll be amazing, but can you
imagine how big that check was too

1197
01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:17.239
for him to do that? Hey? You know what, because he doesn't

1198
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:20.119
get off his ass for a lot
to do a lot these days, he's

1199
01:34:20.159 --> 01:34:24.000
retired, so the check had to
be just massive, like life changing.

1200
01:34:24.199 --> 01:34:26.880
But it was more than that,
because it wasn't just they didn't just pay

1201
01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:30.159
this dude this year to lift trophies, didn't they? What was it?

1202
01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:33.159
This was it last year they paid
him to come and almost get his back

1203
01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:38.359
broken? Yeah? Was that the
Yeah? Yeah a few years back,

1204
01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:41.560
but that was over in Saudi Arabia, wasn't I think? So? Yeah?

1205
01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:44.840
Yeah, Like the Undertaker showed up
and you're like, oh my gosh,

1206
01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:48.079
he's gonna die. Nothing personal,
but it just it looked really bad. So
