18
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,439
guest coming up at the top of
the hour. The band ever Felt is

19
00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:12,560
going to be skyping in from Illinois. I really like them a lot,

20
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,000
really like their sound. They've got
a big kind of They describe themselves on

21
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,199
their website as sort of psychedelic rock, but to me it's it almost sounds

22
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
like doom metal. I really like
it. They got a big, big

23
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,199
sound. Really looking forward to talking
to them, So I don't know if

24
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:30,280
it's I don't know if it's gonna
be the one guy or if it's gonna

25
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,719
be more than one or well,
we'll see what happens when they skype in

26
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:36,680
at five, and you know,
as we get close to the top of

27
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,560
the hour, we'll play some of
their music both before and after the segment.

28
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,120
But yeah, I really like them
a lot, so that's gonna be

29
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,759
good. And we did open the
show today with Martin Luther King's I have

30
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,840
a dream speech which I usually play
every year to commemorate his birthday, but

31
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,879
I thought, you know, today
is actually the because it is the sixtieth

32
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:59,960
anniversary of the March on Washington.
I thought I should play that today too.

33
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,479
That's where the speech happened. Of
course they celebrated it over the weekend,

34
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,479
but the actual day is today,
the actual anniversary, August twenty eight.

35
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,159
So so I thought i'd share that
with everybody. Always, uh,

36
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,680
always a good good opener actually for
the show. So especially jeez, you

37
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:25,240
know, in light of what happened
in Jacksonville. Yeah, and I hate

38
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,759
talking about that stuff, but we
might we might get into that a little

39
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:31,159
bit today. But I always whenever
there's a shooting, I just I hate,

40
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,199
I hate even talking about it.
It's uh, it's such a downer.

41
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,680
But yeah, so uh so you
can't ignore what was going on in

42
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:46,240
North Carolina either. Oh yeah,
it's just yeah, that's still an active

43
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,280
situation, right, you know,
I'm trying to check it out. There

44
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,960
was a report of shots fire,
but I thought they lifted the lockdown.

45
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,599
Oh I may be wrong about that. Actually I am wrong about that.

46
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:08,919
According to this Atlanta station, they
are still on lockdown. It started at

47
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,840
about one o'clock this afternoon. The
students and staff were warned that there was

48
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:18,680
an armed and dangerous person on campus. They were locked down on campus,

49
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,480
and we're reporting an active assailent situation. I know on the way in we

50
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,199
heard or I might have you might
have been in the store when I was

51
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,040
listening that there was a shot fire, a report of a single shot fire,

52
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,160
but nothing beyond that. It's still
way too fluid for me to like

53
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:44,519
really give you an appropriate answer.
Yeah, because it's looking at this report,

54
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,600
it looks like it's still fluid.
They are looking for that person that

55
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,040
does seem to be absolutely still going
on. There is an image up.

56
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,839
You can go look it up.
You can look at the person that they

57
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,399
are looking for. Okay, So
yeah, but then we've got three people

58
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:06,800
who lost our lives today because of
the color of their skin. Well that

59
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,920
was that was yesterday, right,
Yes, sorry, that's okay. It's

60
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,959
blending on me and that's awful,
like in a bad way, in a

61
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,199
bad way, not in a good
way. Yeah, you know that these

62
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:23,560
things happened that this and apparently this
guy was was a total white supremise.

63
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,639
Yeah, left a left notes.
He had had a whole manifest though.

64
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Yeah, he was decided that he
deserved to take people out of this world,

65
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,879
and then he took out of himself. Could they just you know,

66
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,800
I hate I don't want to say
it. It's a horrible thing to say,

67
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,360
but it is. It's like,
you know, if you feel that

68
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:45,800
way, can you just stick to
yourself and and not hurt innocent people?

69
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Yeah, it's awful, it is. Well, we didn't have to deal

70
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,959
with this stuff when we were kids. Well, you know what happened,

71
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,839
but not nearly as much, not
nearly as often. We should look at

72
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,680
us to be a little more uplifting. Of course. This is the article

73
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:11,959
from NPR regarding over the weekend,
thousands marched to mark sixtieth anniversary of mlk's

74
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,079
I Have a Dreams speech. It
says here, six decades ago and estimated

75
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,600
quarter million people gathered at the Lincoln
Memorial for the March on Washington for Jobs

76
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,879
and Freedom. That was the full
name of the event in the nation's capital.

77
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,759
Martin Luther King Juniors, I have
a Dream speech that day on August

78
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,240
twenty eight, nineteen sixty three,
sixty years ago. Today has since emerged

79
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,839
as a paramount symbol of the push
for racial and social equality. On Saturday,

80
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,240
tens of thousands of people gathered in
that same spot to declare that dream

81
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:45,680
was in jeopardy, that America had
slid backwards in its fight against hatred and

82
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,240
bigotry. Civil rights activist Reverend Al
Sharpton said, quote, six years ago,

83
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,759
Martin Luther King talked about a dream. Sixty years later, we're the

84
00:06:53,839 --> 00:07:00,800
dreamers, unquote, Sharpton, who
leads the National Action Network, said,

85
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,560
one of the two groups that organized
the rally, the nonprofit Drum Major Institute,

86
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,279
co host of the event, which
was billed as a as not a

87
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:14,560
commemoration, but a continuation of King's
vision after a year of Supreme Court rulings

88
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,800
and national legislation that rolled back racial
progress. The five hour program featured dozens

89
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:25,480
of high profile speakers who noted the
prevalence of civil rights abuses such as systemic

90
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920
racism, hate speech, hate crimes, police brutality, gun violence, poverty,

91
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:30,800
the loss of voting rights, and
the collapse of reproductive rights, to

92
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:35,399
name just a few topics that surfaced. Andrew Waters King, the daughter in

93
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,240
law of Martin Luther King, Jr. One of a number of his family

94
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,120
members who spoke at the event,
said quote, we are here to liberate

95
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,319
the soul of the nation, the
soul of democracy from those forces who would

96
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,160
have us all go backwards and perish
rather than go forward as sisters and brothers.

97
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:57,160
Un People carried Black Lives Matter banners
and wore I Have A Dream t

98
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,759
shirts as they listen to the speeches
and march to Kings Memorial Statue. Many

99
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,759
took refuge in the shade of trees
along the Lincoln Memorial as temperatures soared into

100
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,279
the upper eighties. Despite the crowds, rugby games went along as planned across

101
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:13,920
them all, while joggers and bikers
stuck to their roots. According to a

102
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:18,319
report from the AP, the sound
of planes taken off from nearby Ronald Reagan

103
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:24,120
National Airport thundered over some of the
speakers, and while the crowd size may

104
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,480
have been smaller than the quarter million
people who turned out in nineteen sixty three,

105
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Saturday's event boasted some undeniable signs of
progress. Many of the speakers who

106
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,159
took the podium were women. Only
one female speaker was featured at the original

107
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,399
march. I didn't realize that.
I hadn't thought of that. And just

108
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,519
as this year's lineup of speakers was
more diverse, so too were the issues

109
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:50,399
they spotlighted. Actor Sasha Baron Cohen
called for an end to anti semitism.

110
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,639
Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg called
for younger generations to run for office in

111
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,600
response to gun violence. Democratic members
of Congress, including South Carolina Representative James

112
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,080
Clyburne and New York Representative Hakim Jefferies, called for federal voting rights protections as

113
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,120
some states continue to restrict election rules. Kings nineteen sixty nineteen sixty three speech

114
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,080
is credited with helping pave the way
for major federal voting rights legislation, as

115
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,440
well as the landmark nineteen sixty four
Civil Rights Act, but pushback and violence

116
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:30,679
followed two Just two weeks after the
gathering, four black children were killed in

117
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,679
the sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing in
Birmingham, Alabama. A year later,

118
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:41,960
voting rights marchers were brutally beaten while
crossing the Edmund Pettis Bridge in nearby Selma.

119
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,320
Commemorations of the original nineteen sixty three
gathering have taken place over the decades,

120
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,679
and King's speech continues to resonate,
both serving as major symbols of America's

121
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,559
push and pulled toward justice. Tens
of thousands of people marched in DC following

122
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,279
the police killing of George Floyd in
twenty twenty, as millions across the country

123
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,440
took part in aiual justice protests and
rallies. For some, Saturday's event was

124
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,519
yet another poignant measure of how much
work has yet to be done. Marcia

125
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,000
Dean Felts of Amelia Island, Florida
told The APE quote, I often look

126
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,679
back and look over to the reflection
pool in the Washington Monument, and I

127
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,639
see a quarter of a million people
sixty years ago and just a trickling now.

128
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,679
It was more fired up then,
But the things we were asking for

129
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,879
and needing, we still need them
today. Several leaders also helped organize the

130
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:39,279
march met with Attorney General Merrick Garland
and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clark on Friday.

131
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,279
They discussed a range of issues,
including policing, redlining, and voting

132
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,519
rights. President Joe Biden and Vice
President Kamala Harris will observe the marches true

133
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:52,440
anniversary on Monday today by meeting with
organizers of the nineteen sixty three gathering.

134
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,279
The APE reported, I did see
a little bit of that footage earlier,

135
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:03,639
yeah, and It was interesting that
one of the first things that President Biden

136
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,919
spoke of was he never imagined sitting
here talking about this in this day and

137
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,279
age, on this historic date and
we're talking about book bands. Yeah,

138
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,000
oh yeah, he's specifically. You
know, seriously, we we came so

139
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,960
far as a society, and it's
like we're hurling ourselves back in time.

140
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:28,360
We're banning books. Well, I'm
banning history because they were banning history.

141
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,240
Well yeah, that's a way of
putting it. Certainly. You know,

142
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:37,200
I'm more optimistic on this, uh, you know, as as we've discussed

143
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,240
before. But you know, I
always say, you know, two things

144
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,639
can be true. We have I
believe we have come a long way,

145
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,440
but we clearly still have a lot
of work to do. And what happened

146
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,480
in Jacksonville over the weekend, for
example, is a clear and present evidence

147
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,320
of the work that we still have
to do. We continue to have to

148
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,679
confront hate because hate is by nature
malignant, and I is that word very

149
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
deliberately, because it does spread if
you leave it unchecked, which a lot

150
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:07,879
of people don't seem to understand or
don't want to acknowledge. They think,

151
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,720
if you you know, some people
think if you just say nope, nope,

152
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,600
problems already been solved. Then you
know, just just it's not legal

153
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,600
anymore. Just yeah, just pretend
it's not there, and it's not really

154
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,039
there. No, we still have
a lot of work to do, but

155
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:24,960
but we also have come a long
way, obviously, you know, from

156
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,799
you know, if you take into
account, you know, the civil rights

157
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,600
movement and the progress it was made
in terms of desegregating schools, and you

158
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,840
know that it's hard to imagine,
but before we were you or I were

159
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,159
even born, you know, they
had segregated schools and separate water fountains,

160
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,559
and you know, just you know, there's a lot in the nineteen sixties

161
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,840
that was ag that is legal now, right, right, And so I

162
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,600
always say to people because it's such
a polarizing thing, and of course we

163
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,360
live in this. We live in
a political culture where everything is so binary

164
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:56,759
and you're supposed to be all the
way on one side of an issue,

165
00:12:56,759 --> 00:13:00,320
are all the way on the other. So when it comes to this,

166
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,559
for example, you're people have a
natural expectation that you're either supposed to believe

167
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:11,480
that we live in this you know
that America is this uh racist and racialized

168
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,480
hellscape and we've made no progress or
you're supposed to believe that. Nope,

169
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,559
all set racism has been solved,
and anything that you say about it now,

170
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,879
you're just making that up to stoke
the to restoke the fires of racism,

171
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,799
you know. And and uh,
you're you're giving the argument for me

172
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,840
and not your position. And neither
of those well, neither of those uh

173
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:37,279
positions in my uh, in my
opinion is true. And as I say,

174
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,320
two things can be true at once. I think we should recognize the

175
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,039
incredible progress that we have made in
this country, and it's one of the

176
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,799
things that I love about this country. I consider myself a patriot. I

177
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,480
know some people would disagree with me
because I'm not a Trump supporter, but

178
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,600
but I do consider myself a patriot. And uh and also uh, you

179
00:13:54,639 --> 00:14:00,120
know, so I think we should. I think we should reflect on and

180
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,879
acknowledge the incredible progress that we've made
as a country, while also acknowledging that

181
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,679
clearly we do still have a long
way to go. And again, anyone

182
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,759
who wants to argue with me about
that, I would refer you to what

183
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,000
happened over the weekend in Jacksonville.
You know when you've got this, you

184
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:22,320
know he had a racist manifestoe.
You know, he originally went to a

185
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:28,480
college, a black college. He
was spotted by students who immediately went to

186
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,039
security. He got spooked, he
ran off, and that's how we ended

187
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,960
up in the dollar store. Is
my understanding. Now. Granted that's just

188
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,360
a cursory knowledge that I've gotten out
of the news media. But I thought

189
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:45,879
it was also telling that when they
held a visual a vidual for the people

190
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:52,919
who were killed tone deaf, the
Santists showed up and the people booed him

191
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:56,720
down and we're yelling at him,
you're not welcome here, and we're booing

192
00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:01,000
him down, when he was trying
to use it as a a way for

193
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,799
him to tout him politically. That's
all he was. Therefore, come on,

194
00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:07,360
the only reason he went there is
it's a free microphone and a camera.

195
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,480
I'm gonna get some I'm gonna get
on this and get some attention.

196
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:18,879
I don't believe that he really cares
about black people at all when he is

197
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:28,200
pushing an agenda that in part dehumanizes
people who are black. Because there's this

198
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,240
whole thing of they learned skills from
from slavery. Come on, like the

199
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,120
whole forgetting about these were human beings
that that had a world they lived in

200
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,240
and they took care of their families, and they cooked, and they had

201
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:46,320
lives, and they were stolen,
they were kidnapped and brutally tortured into slavery.

202
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,600
But he tries to sugarcoat it with
this were you know, his banning

203
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,919
books, his we're going to teach
that black people got skills from slaves.

204
00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,279
Well he in fairness and listen,
I'm no fan of the guy there,

205
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:07,799
but in fairness we we do we
do need to say technically he's actually been

206
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:12,840
running away from that. Well he's
not responsible. He's not directly responsible.

207
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:18,519
Now, oh come on, wait, no, the law, the law

208
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,320
that they passed, well, no, this is an important detail though,

209
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,000
the law that they passed in Florida
about you know, teaching the benefits of

210
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:27,200
slavery and you know, making it
sound like a job. I mean,

211
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,480
you know how I feel about that
too. I agree with you, but

212
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,279
it's it's and a lot of Republicans
have spoken out about that too, because

213
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,519
I know some people want to say, oh, it's the left that's upset

214
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:38,360
about this. No, a lot
of Conservatives have spoken up about this too

215
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:45,279
and have said it's wrong, but
that that wasn't DeSantis directly that specific law

216
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:48,440
that was the Florida State legislature.
I do agree, however, though,

217
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,080
with what Chris Chris he said that
DeSantis is the one who lit the fuse

218
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,440
on that, because he's the one, you know, with the what do

219
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,200
they call it, the Stop Woke
Act in Florida. So DeSantis kind of

220
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:06,519
DeSantis started that, he was the
catalyst for what follows, what follows from

221
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,759
that. But well, I would
argue in this case, DeSantis lit the

222
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:14,440
fire, but then the Florida State
Legislature poured gasoline on it. But so,

223
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:21,160
but I just again, I'm not
trying to defend a Santis but but

224
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,359
he well, no, but it's
not an opinion, it's a fact that

225
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,599
he's not the one who created that
law that was created that was the Florida

226
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,279
State legislator. Say I didn't that
he created it. He's touting it.

227
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,039
No, No, no, he's
not that that law specifically, He's not

228
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,759
things that have been going on until
now, he's been running he's running away

229
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,960
from right that that particular law.
He's been running away from it. He

230
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Uh, he won't. He won't
speak against it, but he doesn't want

231
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,960
to. He doesn't want to take
the blame for it either. He's been

232
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,319
uh which as again blimy politicians,
and it fits himself into whatever piece he

233
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,079
thinks he can well. But in
the end of the day, he supports

234
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,440
this crap because if he didn't,
he'd be outspoken about it. Right,

235
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,160
A real governor, a real governor
who gives you know, two cents about

236
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,519
the students in his estate, would
speak out and say that's not okay,

237
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:19,039
we shouldn't ban the diary of Anne
Frayne. But that's not what he's done.

238
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,640
I disagree the thing. One thing
though, that I do disagree with

239
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,720
you on. I think he should
have because it sounds like you're saying he

240
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,960
shouldn't have shown up at that event
and spoken. I disagree. I well,

241
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:34,240
no, I don't think he should
have. I don't think he should

242
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,640
have. And it certainly wasn't what
the families or the people there wanted because

243
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,160
he got shouted down, he got
told to leave. Yeah, he could

244
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:47,200
have done his peace, He could
have said his peace from anywhere. He

245
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,720
did not have to show up there
and take that podium. He made it

246
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:56,720
about him, and it's not about
him. It's about those people. So

247
00:18:56,079 --> 00:19:00,880
I stick to my guns on that
one. That he absolutely should not have

248
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:03,480
shown up there. I don't know
he didn't. He did more harm than

249
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,759
he did good by showing up.
That's that's complicated though, because he is

250
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:11,720
the governor of the state. Well, I don't know if you saw this,

251
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:17,920
but now this is from media.
Democratic Jacksonville congress I'm sorry not congresswoman.

252
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,039
Councilwoman who defended De Santis at shooting
vigil says she wasn't says he wasn't

253
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:30,160
invited, but the crowd shouldn't have
booed. This is it says here.

254
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,880
When Florida Governor Ron de Santis appeared
at a vigil for the victims and community

255
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,799
of the racially motivated mass shooting in
Jacksonville, he was not well received.

256
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:48,440
He was audibly booed by the crowd
until Democratic Councilwoman Jacoby Pittman stood up for

257
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:53,319
him, telling everyone, quote,
it ain't about parties today, unquote.

258
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,480
On Monday, Pittman gave CNN more
details about DeSantis' appearance and revealed that the

259
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:07,200
governor wasn't actually invited. Speaking of
CNN's Boris Sanchez, Pittman explained, actually,

260
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,160
there's well, no, there's audio
here, but it's it's of the

261
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,400
full segment. I just want this
part. Pittman explained that days after a

262
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,960
white gunman murdered three black shoppers at
a Jacksonville Family Dollar, the hate crime

263
00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:26,039
quote has crippled and handcuffed our community
and families are hurting. You know,

264
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,880
they're heartbroken. Our community is heartbroken
as well. Unquote. But when asked

265
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,359
about DeSantis, Pittman was eager to
make it very clear that despite his taking

266
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,319
the mic, this event was not
meant meant to be about him. In

267
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,200
fact, she didn't know he was
going to be there, let alone speak.

268
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:45,640
So here's what she said. Quote, I had no idea that the

269
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,680
governor was coming. The MC of
the event for that day called him up.

270
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,880
He was just only he was just
only supposed to have been acknowledged as

271
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,240
being there. That vigil that we
did yesterday was not about the governor,

272
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:02,640
And I will say I don't support
any of the stances or policies that the

273
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,720
governor has implemented. You know,
my concern yesterday was about the families.

274
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:11,400
It was not a political ploy for
me and our community. It was about

275
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,119
focusing on the families that were there
and the hatred that had come to their

276
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,960
community. And so I just want
to make myself clear. I wanted the

277
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,599
audience to calm down because I wanted
him to sit down, and I wanted

278
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:27,640
it to be the event that was
for the residence and the community that had

279
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,400
come together for unity. That's uh, that's what that event was about,

280
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,759
not the governor. Unquote. DeSantis
called the shooter who turned the gun on

281
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:45,119
himself a scumbag and pledged one million
dollars in funds for security at Edward Waters

282
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:51,000
University an HBCU. And if you
don't know what that is, historically black,

283
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:52,799
its HBCU. You hear that in
the media a lot and they don't

284
00:21:52,799 --> 00:22:00,079
explain what it means. It's historically
black colleges and universities. So Edward Waters

285
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,400
University as an HBCU that the gunman
initially approached before the shooting at the family

286
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,279
dollar. Nonetheless, some critics have
said that DeSantis's war on woke has spread

287
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:17,480
the rhetoric that led to his crime
to this crime. Florida State Representative Angie

288
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:22,559
Dixon, as Democrats said DeSantis had
blood on his hands when details of the

289
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:32,839
shooters white supremacist beliefs came to light. M Well, here's what I don't

290
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,039
that's see that I'm no fan of
DeSantis, but I'm not I'm not a

291
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:41,680
fan of that kind of rhetoric either, coming from from the other side of

292
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,160
things, that saying he has blood
on his hands. I'm not comfortable with

293
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,400
that. Shouldn't say things like that
in my opinion. But here's here's the

294
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,559
full quote. This is a governor
who has done nothing but fan these types

295
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,000
of happenings throughout our state. Look, at the end of the day,

296
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,759
the governor has blood on his hands. He has had an attack and all

297
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,279
out to attack on the black community
with his anti woke policies, which we

298
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,440
know very well was nothing more than
a dog whistle to get folks riled up

299
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:14,039
and riled up in the way in
which it just happened yesterday. Yeah,

300
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,759
I'm a little uncomfortable with the blood
on his hands part. But but anyway,

301
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:23,960
but yeah, this the Democratic Jacksonville
councilwoman. She she did try to

302
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,960
Pittman, she did try to try
to calm things down. But uh,

303
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,880
let's see, I apologize for having
to step away. Yeah, that's okay.

304
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,000
I am still fighting with my health
insurance company. For those who are

305
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,440
following that story, Yeah, so
I apologize for having to step away.

306
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,680
That's all right, But I respect
whatever you said in my absence. I

307
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:49,359
totally respect you for your opinions.
I'm just I'm a big non fan of

308
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,960
De Santis and yeah, and to
back up one, I do want to

309
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:59,160
say one thing. I have a
big problem with politicians showing up when somebody

310
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,680
dies like that, and the family
I doubt got the choice. When years

311
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:11,359
ago, when the Iraqi warfare started, my boss lost her husband and it

312
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,920
was horrible, and it was one
of the earlier deaths, and it was

313
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,200
in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Romney
showed up walking in the in the procession,

314
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,480
and my girlfriend was devastated and disgusted
and she didn't want him there,

315
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:27,880
and nobody talked to her. She
didn't get a say. He just showed

316
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,319
up, and it was such an
I was there with her. It was

317
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,920
such a horrific situation that since that
moment, I've been one hundred percent against

318
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:45,640
politicians showing up when people have died
or been killed without the family saying yes,

319
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,039
come be with me, because you
can tell the difference. If the

320
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,720
family was, hey, come be
with us, you wouldn't have people shouting

321
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,839
him down and saying you're not welcome, get out of here. That's not

322
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,359
what would be happening. Because when
they show up and they're wanted, yeah,

323
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,200
they're usually standing right next to the
loved one. The well loved one

324
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:07,759
is right with them. You see
that all the time. But in these

325
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:15,240
situations when the family I doubt even
necessarily knew he was going to show up,

326
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:18,799
and people are saying get out of
here. Well, families, I

327
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:22,319
mean in this case, so because
it was three people killed, right,

328
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,200
so you've got three different families.
It's I understanding that two of the families

329
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,400
do want to speak to President Biden. One of the families said they would

330
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,160
rather not. And that's being that
that apparently is being followed because he said

331
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,559
it himself, he's not going to
try and force himself on anybody, but

332
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,839
anybody who wanted the call, he
was going to give them a call.

333
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,359
Because unfortunately, in these situations,
these family become the propaganda that gets held

334
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,960
up by both sides, Oh you
got to decide with me, instead of

335
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,240
people just take a step back.
For a minute. Let these people have

336
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:56,200
their grief. Let them have their
feelings before you try and hold them up

337
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,720
and make them examples to pass whatever
law. Right. Let people God,

338
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:07,880
let people in the just have that. It's a little bit tricky in that,

339
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:14,319
if I mean, with the Santists, it's kind of an unusual situation

340
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,599
because of his anti woke crusade.
Complicates things obviously, but I think it

341
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,279
enhances my position. But I think, well, I was just going to

342
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,319
say, though I think, well, yeah, I was saying, with

343
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,799
the Santists, it's a little it's
a little more complicated than it would be

344
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,839
for really probably any other governor in
the country, to be honest with you,

345
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,839
because I think generally there's a little
bit of a no win it's a

346
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,559
little bit of a no win situation
because if a governor in a situation like

347
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,240
that doesn't show up, then there's
going to be people who are going to

348
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:48,720
say, oh, this governor doesn't
care. But I do think you're right.

349
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,759
Ultimately, it should be up to
the families and what they want and

350
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:57,200
what they're comfortable with. They they
should come first, and if they don't

351
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:03,559
express any particular reference, whoever is
organizing the event should ask them, and

352
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,519
then the governor, be at DeSantis
or any other governor from any other state,

353
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:14,559
should respect whatever that decision is.
But I think when there's a serious

354
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,839
emergency going you don't necessarily want the
political dude to get there right away because

355
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:21,319
he's going to get in the way. He's going to get security away from

356
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,279
the things that are going on.
Yeah, you know, in those instances,

357
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,440
they get permission. So you know, why don't they ever talk to

358
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,799
the You know, why don't they
listen to the families. If you got

359
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,960
one out of three saying I don't
want you here, don't come issue a

360
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:37,920
statement, offer to talk to those
people behind closed doors. If you're truly

361
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,559
going to be there to be supportive
of these people, that's all you need

362
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,640
do. Right. If you insist
or need to be out in front of

363
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,759
that camera, well you ain't doing. It's about the families. This is

364
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,559
about you and your ego. I
think two. Probably it would depend on

365
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:56,720
some of that. I mean,
ultimately, yeah, I agree it should

366
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,039
be up to the families. I
think also to the it may depend somewhat

367
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,039
on well, just as an example, because Bill Clinton, I don't know

368
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:10,720
if there were any kind of when
Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. I

369
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:14,000
don't know if there were any of
these kinds of shootings on his watch,

370
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,000
but I would imagine it would probably
have been had there been a pretty safe

371
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:25,319
bet that people would be comfortable with
him showing up because he was known for

372
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:27,480
I mean, it's part of how
he got elected president. He was you

373
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:33,240
know that whole I feel your pain
thing. Whereas in contrast, somebody like

374
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,880
run to Santis. It's like,
I don't know if the guy has any

375
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,720
actual human emotions or a capacity for
empathy. And maybe he does. I'm

376
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:47,839
not saying that he doesn't. There
might be a lot more. I mean,

377
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,359
most people, well most most people
have a lot more to them than

378
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,559
what you see on the surface.
Well, and I and I do have

379
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,799
a and I do have a suspicion
about him that there's a lot that there

380
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,559
are things about him that he keeps
hidden because he's because of his awkwardness.

381
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:11,160
Awkward people usually have things about themselves
that where that they're not comfortable showing you.

382
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,799
And it might be and not I
don't necessarily mean negative things. Sometimes

383
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,480
they can be positive things, like
they don't want to they have emotions that

384
00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:22,920
they don't want to show you because
they're vulnerable. So I don't know.

385
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,200
I don't see that when I look
at him. I don't either. But

386
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,200
I'm just saying, though, I'm
just saying, you just never know.

387
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:33,759
Sometimes awkward people are deeply emotional.
People think he's that complicated, Probably not,

388
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,799
probably not, probably not. I'm
just saying, though, you never

389
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:40,400
really know. He's all about getting
his mug in front of a camera.

390
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,920
I'd like to call that man cas
about is this hair straight? And can

391
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960
he get a space in front of
a camera. I could better assess him

392
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,519
if I could meet him and look
him in the eyes. But then again,

393
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,759
apparently he doesn't look people in the
eyes when he when he meets them.

394
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,799
Mike Doyle is on the line him, Mike, Hey, guys,

395
00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:02,240
how are you doing good? How
are you good? Hey? Jenny,

396
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:04,720
Hey, I was I just turned
you on. I was listening to ten

397
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:10,519
minutes of your conversation there. Don't
you think, like any politician, if

398
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:14,559
you're especially running for president, that
if you didn't show up. And I

399
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,720
understand the family thing, but somebody, you know, did somebody ever tell

400
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:22,920
him listen? One family doesn't want
you here. But but if he if

401
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,000
he doesn't show up, what are
they going to say, right, that's

402
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,279
a headline for We were talking about
that he doesn't want to be involved with

403
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:33,240
when you know that type of thing. Yeah, I said, I said

404
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:33,920
that. I like I said,
it's a little bit of a no win

405
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:38,480
situation. I do agree, and
that it should be up to the family.

406
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,640
Sorry and go ahead, No,
I was saying, I do believe

407
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,799
it should be absolutely up to the
families ultimately. But I but I also

408
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:49,039
acknowledged, Yeah, it is a
little bit complicated because you're right, if

409
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:52,880
he doesn't show up, it will
get used against him. Oh yeah.

410
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,559
And and so in that effort,
you know, he came off the campaign

411
00:30:56,599 --> 00:31:00,799
trail to do this, you know, error on the side of being there

412
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,200
versus not being there. You know, you can argue with that. People

413
00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:08,960
some people there was only I read
the article this morning and they were saying

414
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:15,599
some people were booing. There was
a small contingent booing and probably family members

415
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,319
or you know. And he in
his speech he said, you know,

416
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,319
I found out recently that the security
at that college that the kid went to

417
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:30,440
first was kind of lax. So
this morning he signed an executive order to

418
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,519
give a million dollars grand a million
dollars to that university to beef up their

419
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,880
beef up their security. Right.
So he also gave some other money to

420
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,680
somebody else for security something else.
I can't remember. Well, I think

421
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,720
it was more than I think it
was more than one HBCU that. Yeah,

422
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:51,880
he's uh funding to ben. You
know, it's funny how people can

423
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:53,799
kind of rat on him, but
it's it's what he's supposed to do.

424
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,319
He's a governor. He comes out
the campaign trail, he has to go

425
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,839
this is this happened in the money. I gotta show up. I gotta

426
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,440
tell the people I'm behind you.
We're gonna you know. And his last

427
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,920
statement was this should not happen.
It doesn't matter what color of your skin

428
00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:13,160
is. And but people still want
to kind of crap on him. And

429
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:15,559
I don't know. I think he
just did what he had to do.

430
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,640
Like you said, Yeah, I
don't think it was had to He could

431
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,680
have said, he could have made
a statement without going down to that specific

432
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:27,519
site. Well, I would be
curious to know. One thing we don't

433
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:30,759
see if he's going to make security
works. One thing that we don't know

434
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:36,480
is what do the families think or
did they have any input on this.

435
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,640
That's a that's an important piece of
information to me in terms of judging the

436
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,279
appropriateness of him being there. And
that's something we don't know, and we

437
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,200
might not ever we might not ever
know that. We don't we don't know

438
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:52,319
that, and we don't know if
anybody relayed anything to him to say,

439
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:55,079
hey, they would rather not have
you here right out of respect, and

440
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:59,000
he would say, Okay, I'm
not going to go there out of respect.

441
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:02,720
That we don't know if either of
those happen. Jenny's point, Jenny,

442
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:07,079
here's here's the problem with what you're
saying is if he did it long

443
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:13,400
distance via video, he would still
get chastised. I'm not disagreeing that it's

444
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,799
a no win situation one way or
the other. I'm just saying that from

445
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,640
from the way things appeared, it
appeared like maybe he should have asked first

446
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,559
and chosen to go after he got
an answer. You know, what is

447
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:29,119
it? What can I ask a
question of YouTube? What is it that

448
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,160
gets under your skin about the Santa
so much? Oh my god? What

449
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:39,839
doesn't? What does it? Everybody's
moving to Florida. They're all moving to

450
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:45,680
Florida. Tax free. Hey,
tax free, my butt, tax free,

451
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,920
my butt. We're way more tax
free up here than they are.

452
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,119
They have a lot of county taxes. Number one, Number two, Where

453
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,640
do we start with Florida? Should
we start with the flesh eating bacteria that's

454
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:00,319
washing up on shore? Should we
start with the triple digit the leprosy being

455
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:05,119
transmitted by mosquitoes? The fact that
all of the a lot of the major

456
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,400
home insurance companies are completely pulling out
or not writing insurance policies there anymore,

457
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,679
because that's gone to heck in a
handbag. While he was paying attention to

458
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,559
Disney and actually causing the state more
money by taking seven miles a road back

459
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:22,199
into the state's control. They had
to absorb all of that with that,

460
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:29,519
like taking care of the road policing
ems. That's such He's Let's see,

461
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:34,719
the Diary of Van Frank is not
used in Florida schools anymore because that's pornography,

462
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,880
don't you know. So when we
teach the Holocaust, we don't teach

463
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,480
the Diary of Van Frank and Florida
anymore, is my understanding. Let's see

464
00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:47,039
where else should we go? Flying
cockroaches? Anybody? Anybody? Tons of

465
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:53,760
poisonous and buying stakes and leopardsy flesh
eating bacteria. Yeah, no, Florida's

466
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,119
not for me. Knock yourself out. Well, to be fair, Mike,

467
00:34:57,159 --> 00:35:00,159
you did. I think your exact
question was what's wrong with Florida?

468
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,320
Right? So, I don't know
how you want me to word it.

469
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,760
I didn't mean the problems because every
other state has problems. Who yeah,

470
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,480
but every other state. Yeah,
but we don't have leprosy flying around in

471
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:16,320
mosquitoes in New Hampshire, you know, dude, like they have that.

472
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,920
Go look it up. I'm not
even kidding you. They have a leprosy

473
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920
outbreak going on in Florida right now. They have more poisonous snakes than I

474
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,800
can think of. We have one, I know. But all right,

475
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,280
So you're talking about Florida's conditions.
They're they're pre quarters surrounded by water.

476
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,719
It's it's a tough situation. I
used to love one and a lot of

477
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,360
cold on one side, and one
is susceptible to tornadoes and hurricanes not so

478
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,320
much anymore. A lot of wet
They got a lot of wetlands, which

479
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,800
produces a lot of mosquitoes. And
so I don't know which one Ron de

480
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:51,400
Santa Is to get out there with
Ron de Santas. What I'd like him

481
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,280
to do is retire. I think
he's the worst thing to happen in politics.

482
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,679
I think he's a terrible who live
in Florida say just the opposite,

483
00:35:58,679 --> 00:36:00,960
say we love it here, he's
great. Maybe they won't next go around.

484
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:04,800
Well, they got a lot of
people exiting. I mean, you've

485
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,239
talked about I don't know what,
I don't know very increasing every year you're

486
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,519
wrong about. No, no,
no, no, no go. A

487
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:14,800
lot of the blogs on all the
people who are a part of the LGBTQ

488
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,599
community who like, I'm not living
here anymore, or how many black moms

489
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:22,280
are pulling their kids out because they
don't want their kids being taught that slaves

490
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,880
were given skills. Oh, let's
not go, I don't want to.

491
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,559
Let's right, let's not get on
that road again. Well, these are

492
00:36:28,559 --> 00:36:30,119
the people that are moving out.
I'm saying, is all I'm saying is

493
00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:32,880
there is a lot of My brother
lives in Florida six months out of the

494
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:38,199
year. His wife's a staunch Democrat, and she votes for De Santa's every

495
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:43,360
year. He's fantastic. No,
I don't know my brother, everybody,

496
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,679
my other brother lives down there.
He's like him better than Trump. People

497
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,840
love him. Do you like him
better than Trump? Which one you're going

498
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,719
for? I do, because I
don't think he'll shoot it. I would

499
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,920
think he would do a lot of
the same policies that we had three years

500
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,639
ago that we don't have now,
and be paid and less than gas and

501
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,199
inflation and all that stuff. And
I think I don't think he shoot himself

502
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:08,039
in the foot as much as Trump
does with his mouth. I don't think

503
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:12,199
anything. Yeah, you can't think
anybody. Yeah, yeah, I don't

504
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,079
think anyone would. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, yeah.

505
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,719
To your point, Mike, I
mean, DeSantis did do very well in

506
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:22,960
his re election versus not that Charlie
Christ was a particularly strong candidate, but

507
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:28,119
DeSantis won pretty big in that election. But he doesn't He's got he's got

508
00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:30,199
two degrees from Yale and somewhere Howevard. I think, oh, yeah,

509
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,320
no, he's a he was a
he was a Navy seal, he was

510
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,199
a jag officer. He's done he's
done all the right things to help people

511
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:42,840
and defend the country. And I
don't know, and some and everybody just

512
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,039
hates him the guy, Well,
he didn't have to go back to Afghanistan,

513
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:49,480
he did, I think. I
don't know. Yeah, I think

514
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:53,159
all the all the anti woke stuff
I think really hurts him, even among

515
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,800
Republicans. There's polling data that shows
Republicans are just kind of tired of hearing

516
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,159
about woke this and woke that.
But I do think De Santa's got the

517
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:07,880
message because in that last debate,
I don't know if I was trying to

518
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:12,320
think back, I don't think I
heard to Santa's use the word woke once

519
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,719
that entire debate, which was actually
very surprising to me because for a long

520
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,159
time, every interview I would see
with him, the first thing out of

521
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,119
his mouth about any subject he would
be asked about us, well, we

522
00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:28,000
have to defeat woke ism and wokeness
and this and that, like he's so

523
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:30,119
hyper focused on it all of a
suddender. In that debate, I don't

524
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:34,800
know if he said the word woke
even one time, which is definitely a

525
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,320
pivot for him. I don't know
if it'll help him or not, But

526
00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:40,320
I don't think he connects with people
though in the same way that some of

527
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,920
those other candidates might be able to
Yeah, I mean I haven't I haven't

528
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:49,000
met I haven't met the guy,
but I've heard people like when he comes

529
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,800
to New Hampshire. I've heard people
say he doesn't really look you in the

530
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,239
eye when he shakes her hand.
He's just he's kind of nervous and awkward.

531
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:59,639
And one guy compared him to a
carnival barker. No, well,

532
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:04,320
I see without meeting the guy,
how could you even say that that.

533
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,400
Somebody else said he doesn't look in
the eye and he's and he's a carnival.

534
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,280
But how can you say those things? But I had actually knowing him,

535
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,519
and pretty easy to determine. When
they open their mouths, you can

536
00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:22,920
tell. Well, I could see
him, I see him on TV,

537
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,679
I see him on video, I
hear him. But I actually can't take

538
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,239
credit for that. I was actually
reading somebody else's choice words, but I

539
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,840
happen to agree with them. I
mean, we are talking about a guy

540
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:43,280
who declared pro wrestlers necessary humans for
a plague because that made sense, right,

541
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,400
Yeah, as the first responder,
that was really dumb. Well,

542
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,960
I would have been bummed if we
didn't have WrestleMania that year, though,

543
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,039
Dude, come yeah, So Matt, Matt, so your point about woke

544
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:58,360
during the campaign during the debate,
I don't think I saw it either.

545
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,360
Yeah, but why would he I
would he bring that up if he didn't

546
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:06,000
need to. You know, that's
like any other subject that's controversial. Why

547
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,440
would you bring it up if you
didn't have to. I think that's what

548
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,519
Matt was saying, that he was
bringing that up a lot, and in

549
00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:15,360
this debate he did not bring it
up. That was the Yeah, yeah,

550
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:20,679
his famous his famous line is this
is Florida is where woke goes to

551
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,159
die? Right, Yeah, but
he uses at all the time. That's

552
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:29,719
his that's his stupid theory there.
But I wonder you might not hear that

553
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,119
anymore though this may have been a
pivot for him. I don't know.

554
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:35,360
We'll see. Yeah. Hey,
one last thing. Did you watch the

555
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,199
whole debate? Oh? Yeah,
absolutely? Did you see you when they

556
00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:44,519
asked the question about who would vote
with Trump if he becomes the nominee,

557
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:47,320
the whole right side of the stage
as you're facing and put their hands up.

558
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:52,119
And then Chris Christie looked over and
sire, everybody putting their hands up,

559
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:57,280
and he put his hand up,
like put off and he was waving

560
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,079
a little bit, a little where
to put it what he had like a

561
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:04,440
little finger wave, going yeah,
yeah. He didn't know when that to

562
00:41:04,519 --> 00:41:07,559
put it up down. He was
caught in the middle. And then when

563
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:09,360
they asked him, he said,
you put your hand up a little bit,

564
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,519
he said, He said, oh, I was waving for I was.

565
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:19,320
I wanted you to ask me a
question, such a coward was It

566
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,159
was a very strange moment. I
would have liked to have heard. I

567
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:23,800
haven't heard him explain what he was
doing, because to me, it looked

568
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,639
like he said, oh no,
I was going like this, and it

569
00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:30,559
looked like he was making an emotion, like he was writing something. And

570
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:34,280
I wondered, I didn't know if
that was a reference to the pledge that

571
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,519
he had to sign, because they
all had to sign a pledge that they

572
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:39,119
would support the eventual nominee. I
didn't well, I don't know, I

573
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:42,280
don't know. I mean, that
was one theory because it looked like he

574
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,199
was making a right but he never
explained it. And I haven't heard anyone

575
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,519
really ask him, Hey, what
what were you doing with your hand?

576
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:52,239
And he could back it up.
I mean, it kind of looked like

577
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,039
he was starting to put his hand
up and then like quit halfway up.

578
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,599
Yeah. I like, wait a
minute, I'm not sure that's what I

579
00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:00,960
think. Yes, exactly. He
looked started on the right side, and

580
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,079
it's slowly went across everybody's putting it
up, and then death to him and

581
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:08,280
he's like, oh shit, and
he started to put his hand up.

582
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:16,719
Oh sorry, that's all right,
Mike, we're on a delay. I

583
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,280
caught it. Although that's the first
time I've ever Okay, that's the first

584
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,280
time I've ever had to do that
with you. You're you're you know,

585
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,159
and I'm not I'm not big on
craziness. But anyways, all right,

586
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:30,199
I just wanted to put my two
cents in that he he you know,

587
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:35,400
I mean during COVID, he didn't
close down this state. The economy kept

588
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,280
going. You got to ague you
can't ague that he has a lot of

589
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,840
elderly and he came in right in
the middle of the chart. If you

590
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,920
look on the chart of deaths,
he was right in the middle of all

591
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,559
the states. So he did it. He did it. You know,

592
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:53,559
any one death is horrible, but
but for just looking at death versus states

593
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:59,280
and who has the elderly and the
most vulnerable population. It's certainly Florida.

594
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:04,519
And he came in right in the
middle of the pack when when the numbers

595
00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:07,480
were all settled, and so people
look at that and say that was he

596
00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:09,679
did a great job. Kids didn't
have to wear a mask to school,

597
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,519
things like that, and they got
He got away with all of it and

598
00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:20,840
it all worked well. I think
that's the whole thing. I thought,

599
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:28,159
that's a big subject, which which
was maybe for another day. We don't

600
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:30,320
have time to get all that now. Mading cause of death in Florida is

601
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,840
COVID. Yeah, it's hard disease, cancer, COVID and undintentional injury.

602
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,239
Yeah. Yeah, but look at
just look at that. I'll hang out

603
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,000
because we've gone a long time.
But when you get a minute, just

604
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:45,679
you know, google the deaths in
by state, state by state and look

605
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,880
where Florida ended up, and he
has by far the most vulnerable population with

606
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,000
all the elderly. They're retired in
Florida. So I don't know that's that.

607
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,960
I'm just trying to give you an
outline of why people like that see

608
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,639
him as I do. Says he's
better than Trump, or he's better than

609
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,639
Chris Christy or better than a lot
of these, even though I think Nicki

610
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,840
Haley did a great job. She
had a oh in the debate, she

611
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,840
had a few good moments. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree.

612
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,480
So anyways, all right, goodbye, SI. Down with you guys.

613
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,280
We'll talk to you soon. All
right, thanks for the call,

614
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,599
Mike, take care see you.
All right. That was our friend Mike

615
00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:23,440
Doyle, and I'd give the I'd
give the studio line again, but we

616
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,519
actually were approaching the top of the
hour, so a couple of minutes,

617
00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:31,719
so we do have a guest.
Yes, Governor Ron de Santis already statewide

618
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:36,920
lockdown April first, twenty twenty.
Yeah, so there was some lot.

619
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,679
He didn't not lockdown completely, right
right. I think he opened things up

620
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,719
quicker than some than some state serious
to look at their death rate. I'm

621
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,760
definitely going to look it up.
Melanie points out in the chat room he

622
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,679
fired the person who was in charge
of the COVID data. He didn't like

623
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,400
the numbers. Yeah, there was
some of that. Yeah. The other

624
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:57,519
thing too, is uh with those
with that data, you know, it

625
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:00,280
kind of depends on where in the
pandemic you're looking at and I've heard all

626
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:06,000
those numbers spun a thousand different ways, so I don't know. And I'm

627
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:07,679
not even good at maths, so
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into

628
00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:12,880
all of that. But again,
though, I mean to Mike's point,

629
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:19,840
uh, Desantists did and that last
election he pretty well crushed Charlie Chris.

630
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,119
So obviously Floridian's happy with the job
he's been doing. But does that translate

631
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:29,559
in terms of him being a candidate
for the presidency And I just don't.

632
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,880
I just don't think so. I
don't think he has the ability to connect

633
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,360
with people, and I think a
lot of people are really turned off by

634
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,440
the all the anti woke stuff,
which again he may have pivoted on that

635
00:45:38,519 --> 00:45:42,159
he may have Finally, he's not
trying to be everybody's governor. Now.

636
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,199
The other thing about him, though, too, is Desantist comes off like

637
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,679
if you disagree with him, it's
you know, because if you're gonna win

638
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,199
in a general election, you want
to try to at least present yourself as

639
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,599
somewhat of a uniter, whereas Desantist
kind of has this vibe like he doesn't

640
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:00,599
even want to try to unite people. If you disagree with him. He

641
00:46:00,639 --> 00:46:05,599
hates you and just move out and
yeah, and he just wants nothing to

642
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,199
do with you. I mean,
that's just how he I mean, he's

643
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,480
never explicitly said that, but I'm
just saying that's how he comes off.

644
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:14,440
I know what he is. For
me, one more reason not to move

645
00:46:14,519 --> 00:46:19,280
to Florida. Well, no,
thank you. I'm gonna stay here in

646
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,639
New England. It's a it's a
bit safer, it's a bit nicer,

647
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:28,039
a lot nicer opinion. Scott Robinson
said in the chat, I've heard that

648
00:46:28,039 --> 00:46:30,760
if De Santa doesn't get the nomination, he is going to be the new

649
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:37,199
lead on the reboot of Greatest American
Hero. I remember watching that show when

650
00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:39,519
I was a kid. I like
the theme song that Believe it or Not,

651
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:45,840
I'm Walking on Air. I loved
that show. We played that one

652
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,679
night on Retrospectrum Radio. That was
in paulse playlist for it was TV themes.

653
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,239
I think the theme was Actually I
think we might have done two episodes

654
00:46:54,559 --> 00:47:02,280
uh TV themes that were also hit
songs on the radio. Let's see,

655
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,719
do we have time to maybe just
quickly say hello to some people in the

656
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,679
chat room and then we're gonna get
to one of the tracks from our band

657
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,519
that's coming up. We should say
hello to everybody in here quickly, though.

658
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Jay fed joins us and says,
good afternoon everyone, of course,

659
00:47:15,519 --> 00:47:19,360
from the great state of Vermont.
Scott Robinson says, wow, there was

660
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,840
almost as many people at the Martin
Luther King I have a dream speech as

661
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:28,320
there were at Trump's inauguration. If
you're if you're just joining us and you

662
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,199
don't know what that's a reference.
Who. Of course, we did open

663
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:35,639
today with the speech Martin Luther King, because it's the sixty year anniversary of

664
00:47:35,639 --> 00:47:39,559
the March on Washington where Martin Luther
King gave that wonderful speech. Miriam Bannish

665
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:43,000
joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello, Miriam, as well as

666
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:46,400
Chris Rose from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Aboard seven, who I'm pretty sure

667
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:51,360
is from Greensboro, North Carolina,
says good afternoon from us. Hashtag Matt

668
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,760
Connerton and hashtag gen coffee. And
how are you from us? Melanie la

669
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,320
Liberty I think I mentioned, She
says, Hey, guys. Aboard seven

670
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:06,039
says we for us had a good
weekend. Hashtag Matt Connerton and hashtag gen

671
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:10,159
coffee for us. We say,
was so sad that the legend of the

672
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:15,119
host of Price's Right Game show,
Bob Barker, passed away for the weekend.

673
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:20,440
He was awesome host from US.
We say, is r I P

674
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:27,159
Bob Barker so strange how they talk
in Greensboro hashtag Greensboro, North Carolina.

675
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,920
When when when at seven says he
passed away for the weekend, it makes

676
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,800
it sound like he's just passed away
for the weekend and now he's back.

677
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,880
Melanie said, he is a disgusting
little man, I believe, referring to

678
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:42,840
uh Ron de Santis. He's actually
rather tall, is he? Why does

679
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,679
why does Trump call him tiny?
D? I thought he was tall.

680
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,880
I thought, I don't think he's
I don't think he's short, but I

681
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,599
think he's like on the low end
of medium height. Trump is tall,

682
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,039
So maybe just next to Trump,
he seems short. But I have no

683
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:59,280
idea because I'm a brat. I
threw an article in the chat room just

684
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:04,639
to to share the Palm Beach post
November ninth, twenty twenty. Don't follow

685
00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:08,320
the state's example. The coronavirus has
killed more people age sixty five and older

686
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:13,719
in Florida than any other state in
the nation. That is the Palm Beach

687
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:19,320
Post on November ninth, twenty two. Yeah, thank you, Scott Robinson

688
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,960
said in the chat. And he
worked his way through college at an Ivy

689
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,840
League school making seven dollars an hour. He's just a god. Now that

690
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,360
was about the rate then, there
wasn't it. What's that? The rate

691
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,920
was probably about seven back then.
Yeah. Melanie says he wants to control

692
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,920
women's bodies and is scared of people
entertaining and sparkly clothes, and he is

693
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,599
changing history books. He also is
afraid of books in general. I think

694
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,360
I don't know if he literally is
changing them himself. But Rondo Ferverro from

695
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:51,639
the Great State of California joins us
and says, Hi, guys, let's

696
00:49:51,639 --> 00:49:53,440
see. Also, Joe Friday joins
us in the chat and says hello,

697
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,639
Matt and the lovely Jenny, Oh, thank you. Hello. Aboard seven

698
00:49:58,679 --> 00:50:01,840
says we say president and Biden is
doing the best as he can. From

699
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:07,639
us because if he stays being the
president. Biden from US, we said,

700
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,760
from us, don't care about Trump. I really wish that neither of

701
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,320
them would be on my ballot.
M Yeah, agreed, just going to

702
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:21,239
throw that out there. Agreed,
Joe Friday is asking Mike Doyle how how

703
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,360
is Saratoga? But unfortunately I did
not see that comment. Uh well,

704
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,519
Mike was still on the line.
But yeah, Joe Friday is asking if

705
00:50:28,519 --> 00:50:34,440
Mike hit it big like a gambly
police that's the horse racing. Oh Saratoga.

706
00:50:34,559 --> 00:50:40,280
Oh, let's see. We are
all right. We are rapidly approaching

707
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,199
the top of the hour. So
we're gonna play a track. Well,

708
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,679
actually, we're gonna show some love
to our amazing sponsors, and then we're

709
00:50:45,679 --> 00:50:47,239
gonna play the track, and then
by the end of the song we should

710
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,079
have our friends from ever Felt,
a great band from Illinois on the line.

711
00:50:53,159 --> 00:50:55,960
So looking forward to that. They're
going to be skyping in. Speaking

com. WMNH RIP The novels don't
to talk to beall what's on them?

745
00:55:52,719 --> 00:56:40,760
So to do my I do not
don't know my name to me to read

746
00:56:44,800 --> 00:57:27,639
too anymore? Don't you fay?
Welcome back everybody that has ever felt the

747
00:57:27,719 --> 00:57:30,559
track is called the lie. Sounds
like they're having a little bit of an

748
00:57:30,599 --> 00:57:35,360
issue with Skype, so we will
see if they if they're able to get

749
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,440
that worked out. They are from
the great state of Illinois, so hopefully

750
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,239
hopefully they can get the technical problems
resolved. But anyway, so we have

751
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,719
time. If if they do,
great, If not, we might have

752
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,239
to talk with them another day.
But great band, So I hope we're

753
00:57:52,239 --> 00:57:57,119
able to talk with them today.
Looking forward to interviewing them, But plenty

754
00:57:57,159 --> 00:58:00,639
of other things we can do in
the meantime. Six three two six Z

of course you can interact endo Pine in

759
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,559
the Facebook live chat. But the
best thing to do so that we can

760
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:23,599
hear and enjoy your dulcet tones is
to give us a call at six ZO

news desk. I am sad.
Yeah, I'm here. I am present.

763
00:58:34,519 --> 00:58:37,800
By the way. Now this is
apropos of nothing political or anything,

764
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:45,039
but I just happened to so on
the morning show this morning, h Shannon

765
00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:52,320
had called in and she asked a
question about UH radio at night. Why

766
00:58:52,639 --> 00:58:57,480
why is it that you can pick
radio stations up? I forget exactly how

767
00:58:57,559 --> 00:59:00,000
she phrased it. I think she
said something about different times of day being

768
00:59:00,039 --> 00:59:04,480
able to get different radio stations,
like from further away or something like that.

769
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,360
I wasn't sure. Yeah, at
least that's what it sounded me like

770
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:15,199
she was asking about. And it's
actually true that at night, and sometimes

771
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:20,320
very late at night, you can
get radio stations from further away. And

772
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,480
there was a scientific explanation for it. And I can attest to this.

773
00:59:23,679 --> 00:59:28,079
I had something. Really My dad
might even remember this, you know,

774
00:59:28,079 --> 00:59:32,440
because he listens to the show.
When I was a kid, I was

775
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,079
probably I don't know, maybe ten
eleven years old. I was a radio

776
00:59:36,159 --> 00:59:38,920
nerd from a pretty young age.
Always had the radio on, and there

777
00:59:39,079 --> 00:59:44,559
was one night This only happened once
and it never happened again, but it

778
00:59:44,719 --> 00:59:47,480
was so cool. I was always, you know, going through the scrolling

779
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:52,079
through the dial, turning the dial, trying to see if there were radio

780
00:59:52,159 --> 00:59:54,599
stations available that I didn't know about
yet that I just had and found yet,

781
00:59:55,079 --> 01:00:00,239
both on AM and FM. That's
how into it I was. There

782
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,639
was one night, and I remember
it was a clear night. It was

783
01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:07,599
in the I believe it was in
the summertime. I landed on a radio

784
01:00:07,679 --> 01:00:12,639
station I didn't recognize, and I
heard the liner. It was a station

785
01:00:13,239 --> 01:00:17,719
Swear to god, Buffalo, New
York. Really it was, don't get

786
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:21,880
me wrong. It was very scratchy. There was a lot of static,

787
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,199
but I heard, you know,
w blah blah blah whatever. It was

788
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,639
Buffalo, New York. And I
was like, oh my god. And

789
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,199
it only lasted maybe twenty seconds,
and then it got really staticky again,

790
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:37,719
and that was it. And I
and then I but I remembered where it

791
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,039
was. I made a note of
where it was on the dial, and

792
01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:42,719
every once in a while I would
go back and look for it. But

793
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,920
it was Buffalo, New York and
we were living in Conquer, New Hampshire.

794
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,000
But it was just it was at
night, it was kind of late,

795
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,760
and there it was. It was
it was really amazing. So there

796
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,039
is actually something to Shannon's question,
and I happened to look this up.

797
01:00:58,119 --> 01:01:04,840
This is short. This is from
how stuff works dot com. Why do

798
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,440
you hear some radio stations better at
night than in the day? And there

799
01:01:07,559 --> 01:01:13,280
is a scientific explanation. It says
here, radio waves naturally travel in straight

800
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,599
lines, so you would naturally expect
because of the curvature of the Earth,

801
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,760
with apologies any flat earthers out there, you would naturally expect, because of

802
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:27,360
the curvature of the Earth, that
no radio station would transmit further than thirty

803
01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:31,800
or forty miles. And that is
exactly the case for ground based as opposed

804
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:37,800
to satellite TV transmissions. The curvature
of the Earth prevents ground based TV transmissions

805
01:01:38,119 --> 01:01:44,760
from going much further than forty miles
or sixty four kilometers. Certain radio stations,

806
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,199
however, especially the shortwave and AM
bands, can travel much farther.

807
01:01:49,679 --> 01:01:53,119
Shortwave can circle the globe, and
AM. Actually, we know someone who's

808
01:01:53,159 --> 01:01:57,280
made videos about bragging about how he's
talked to people in other parts of the

809
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:04,000
world a long long time. Yes, shortwave can circle the globe, and

810
01:02:04,239 --> 01:02:09,159
AM stations transmit hundreds of miles at
night. The extended transmission is possible because

811
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:14,360
of the ionosphere, one of the
layers of the atmosphere. It is called

812
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:19,159
the ionosphere because when the Sun's rays
hit this layer, many of the atoms

813
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:23,719
there lose electrons and turn into ions. As it turns out, the ionosphere

814
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:29,280
reflects certain frequencies of radio waves,
so the waves bounce between the ground and

815
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,400
the ionosphere and make their way around
the planet. The composition of the ionosphere

816
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:38,360
at night is different than during the
day because of the presence or absence of

817
01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:44,039
the sun. You can pick up
some radio stations better at night because the

818
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:50,440
reflection characteristics of the ionosphere are better
at night. So it actually is true.

819
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,159
It's not just a myth that you
can you can get radio stations further

820
01:02:54,199 --> 01:02:58,119
away at night than you can during
the day. But yeah, I'll never

821
01:02:58,239 --> 01:03:00,440
forget that moment. It was so
bizarre. Are I wonder if my dad

822
01:03:00,519 --> 01:03:05,360
remembers that, because I remember like
telling him Dad. I didn't call him

823
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,960
dad, I called him. I
called him paw for some reason when I

824
01:03:07,039 --> 01:03:08,880
was a kid. I don't know
why. I think it was from watching

825
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:13,039
Little House on the Prairie. That
makes sense. But yeah, I was

826
01:03:13,159 --> 01:03:15,840
like, hey, I got a
radio station from Buffalo, New York.

827
01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:19,119
But I think by the time he
came into the room it had already gone

828
01:03:19,159 --> 01:03:22,719
back to static. But it was
so weird a brief moment, it was

829
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:27,800
wild. It was like like the
science fiction like, Wow, the dulcet

830
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,239
tones of New York City. Well
it wasn't dulcet because it was very it

831
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,480
was very staticky, but I could
just make it out. I could make

832
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:37,760
out the I wish I could remember
the call letters, but I could make

833
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:45,199
out the call letters and the and
the location just just incredible. And obviously

834
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:52,239
there was nothing there occupying that frequency
on the dial here locally or there.

835
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,880
And as we were in conquered.
I grew up at WBC Yes Yes,

836
01:03:57,079 --> 01:04:01,480
every morning and waiting for the school
cancelations. Back then, you had to

837
01:04:01,519 --> 01:04:05,039
wait until they said the alphabet all
the way down to your town name.

838
01:04:05,239 --> 01:04:09,440
Oh yeah. It was no computer
to look at right right. If you

839
01:04:09,559 --> 01:04:12,880
missed it, you had to sit
there and wait for it go all over

840
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,119
again. Yes, here's a new
name in the Facebook live chat, and

841
01:04:16,119 --> 01:04:23,960
I'm sure I'll get it wrong,
Tassi. Who's Tassi Usani? Tassi Usani?

842
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,239
And I'm actually not saying it twice
because I'm trying to make sure I

843
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,440
get it right. I'm saying it
twice, although I would like to get

844
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,760
it right out of respect. I
try to get people's names correct. But

845
01:04:32,199 --> 01:04:40,320
it's actually the same name twice,
Tassi, Tassi Usani, Tassi Usani.

846
01:04:40,719 --> 01:04:45,280
I bet him close. Or maybe
it's Tassi Usani Tassi Usani. Hashtag joins

847
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,920
us in the chat room. Nope, no hashtag, no hashtag. So

848
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,960
I don't know if they're from Greensboro. I can't see them. It's like

849
01:04:53,079 --> 01:04:55,880
sometimes you can see stuff and I
look, I don't see it. Oh

850
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,880
really, Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah, well, I know it's different

851
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,880
on every I'll see things, you
know, because I have my computer here

852
01:05:01,199 --> 01:05:03,800
and then I have and then of
course we have the big monitor here,

853
01:05:04,119 --> 01:05:08,920
but I also bring in my own
computer, and I see things. I

854
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,800
see different even though it's the same
chat room. Sometimes I'll see certain comments

855
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,800
on one browser and not the other. It's it's very strange. Abort seven

856
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,880
says we are from Greensboro, North
Carolina, from US. Good afternoon.

857
01:05:21,199 --> 01:05:26,800
Matt's father from US. We say, mister Connerton high from US. I

858
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,719
didn't see him. It's so nice. I just mentioned my dad. And

859
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,800
then Abort seven is saying hello from
Greensboro, North Carolina. Well not nice.

860
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:39,199
You know what that sounds like,
don't you now? Miriam Bannish says,

861
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,239
late at night, I could hear
New York City stations. Interesting,

862
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:49,239
Oh, Joe Friday is talking about
bad things really like what remember seeing the

863
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,639
French nudy movies on the night TV. Oh I do. I don't know

864
01:05:53,719 --> 01:05:57,719
what you're talking about, Joe Friday. Now that's a discussion for Matt Connerton

865
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,519
unsheathed. How dare you talked about
that? Yeah? Miriam says, oh,

866
01:06:00,599 --> 01:06:04,280
yeah, late at night, I
couldn't New York when I Oh,

867
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:09,199
she could get New York stations when
she was living in southeastern PA. Do

868
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:14,360
you know what I didn't know until
recently, well until a couple of years

869
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:20,800
ago, when Dusty Hill from ZZ
Top died. Yeah. So, like

870
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,119
a lot of people, I was
nostalgic, and I, you know,

871
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:30,800
always loved zz Top still do.
And I was reading about there's a song

872
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:35,159
that I played because I wanted to
find because Billy Gibbons is the primary lead

873
01:06:35,239 --> 01:06:40,360
vocalist in that band, but Dusty
did sing a handful of songs. So

874
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,679
when Dusty died, I specifically looked
for cool zz top songs to play where

875
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:49,039
Dusty did the lead vocals. And
there's a song called heard It on the

876
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,440
X that's from an early album,
and I didn't know what that meant heard

877
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,079
It on the X, but I
thought heard it does this have something to

878
01:06:57,119 --> 01:07:00,800
do with radio. So it turns
out in Mexico. You know how in

879
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,639
the United States, Uh, in
the eastern half of the country, it's

880
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,360
all the call letters start with W
and in the western half they all start

881
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:12,840
with K. Didn't know that.
No, Actually I never never really need

882
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,280
that little easter egg like double yeah, like yeah, I forget where the

883
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:21,760
line is. But but yes,
so stations like that's why stations in California

884
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:26,000
they all start with K for example. Well in Mexico, it turns out

885
01:07:26,039 --> 01:07:30,599
they all start with X. And
there there are these stations, or there

886
01:07:30,639 --> 01:07:35,519
were, they might not still be
around. There were these stations in Mexico

887
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:41,679
called border blasters but slang term.
And the reason they were called that is

888
01:07:41,719 --> 01:07:45,840
because in Mexico the stations didn't have
the radio stations then and maybe it's still

889
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:50,719
true today. But when when these
guys were growing up in zz Top,

890
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:56,239
you know, they're from Texas,
so they would hear these Mexican radio stations

891
01:07:56,679 --> 01:08:02,679
because they were called border blasters because
whereas they were unregulated, their frequencies would

892
01:08:02,679 --> 01:08:08,840
travel really far. So you might
literally have a five hundred thousand watts station

893
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:15,679
in Mexico that would reach almost all
the way to Canada. So that's why

894
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:17,680
the song is called heard It,
Heard It on the X because they would

895
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:23,600
hear some really cool things on these
Mexican radio stations, some really cool you

896
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,840
know, blues artists and stuff that
you wouldn't hear on American radio. But

897
01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:30,840
apparently so, I don't know if
those stations are still around, and if

898
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:35,720
they're still you know where you can
get them, like way up almost into

899
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:42,199
Canada. But yeah, they're called
border blasters and you can get them very

900
01:08:42,279 --> 01:08:46,640
far. Let's see. I just
want to make sure we don't miss anybody

901
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,039
in here. Oh, Joe Friday
says, speaking of tall guys and horse

902
01:08:50,199 --> 01:08:56,239
racing, Happy birthday to Nick Macris
twenty eight on the twenty eighth Watch for

903
01:08:56,359 --> 01:08:59,199
his horse. He's a lucky guy. I guess that's the name of the

904
01:08:59,239 --> 01:09:05,159
horse. Mike from Queen City Cabinetry
joins us in the Facebook live chat.

905
01:09:05,319 --> 01:09:10,000
Queen City Cabinetry one of our great
sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three

906
01:09:10,039 --> 01:09:14,079
FM, and I get to hang
out with Mike every Friday night for retro

907
01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:18,399
Spectrum Radio with Pauly c U.
Joe Friday says, border Blasters. That's

908
01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:25,600
a great name for a cocktail.
Miriam Bannish says the University of North Texas

909
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:30,640
had a problem with their call letters. They go to K and TU Now,

910
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:43,960
oh yes. Aboard seven says,
uh, it took me a half

911
01:09:44,039 --> 01:09:45,399
second to get that, but yeah, I can see how that would be

912
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:49,720
a problem, Miriam. I don't
even know if Miriam serious or if she's

913
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:55,600
kidding. She might be serious.
I think she is serious, but if

914
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,279
not, that's a great joke.
If she's kidding, but I think she's

915
01:09:58,319 --> 01:10:02,399
serious. Aboard seven says which one
members of zz top who passed away from

916
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,279
us? Matt Bob Barker. He
was the He was a member of zz

917
01:10:06,399 --> 01:10:11,680
Top. He passed away over the
weekend. No. Dusty Hill, of

918
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,479
course, the bass player and occasional
lead singer, A board seven says we

919
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,399
say zz top had good hits.
Yes they did, Yes they did.

920
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:23,680
Uh. Six three two five zero
six zero seven is a studio line if

921
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,640
you'd like to join us today.
Six zero three two five zero six zero

922
01:10:28,079 --> 01:10:36,680
seven. Oh, Miriam says I'm
one hundred percent serious. Yeah, see,

923
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:45,439
you're terrible? Why because you are? What's terrible? You? There

924
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:51,560
was? I'm trying to here we
go. I did not get a chance

925
01:10:51,680 --> 01:11:00,720
to, Oh should we do this? I haven't. I have an article

926
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:04,159
here from Media Ey'd about cable news
shows and networks ranked for bias and accuracy.

927
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:09,560
But I also wanted to do the
Oliver Anthony thing. Let's do the

928
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,399
Oliver Anthony thing. I can save
this for another day. We might have

929
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:16,439
time for both. So Oliver Anthony, do you know who Oliver Anthony has?

930
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:23,479
To remember? We talked about him. He did that song Richmond North

931
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:30,000
of Richmond, and now I have
I have a radio edit of this song.

932
01:11:31,079 --> 01:11:34,359
What I would like to do now? Oliver Anthony? He kind of

933
01:11:34,399 --> 01:11:45,119
became famous sort of overnight. Because
what happened is a lot of right wing

934
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:50,680
podcast and online media personalities like Ben
Shapiro and Matt Walsh. You know the

935
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:56,640
whole Daily Wire crew and whatnot.
They really got behind this song so and

936
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,920
really kind of championed this song,
and a lot of conservatives love the song.

937
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:10,079
Now there's some backlash though, at
Oliver Anthony because he didn't like that.

938
01:12:10,319 --> 01:12:14,119
He says he didn't like that the
song was actually featured at the Republican

939
01:12:14,199 --> 01:12:17,960
debate, because he said, wait
a minute, those those people on that

940
01:12:18,039 --> 01:12:21,479
debate stage there, there's some of
the same people I'm talking about. This

941
01:12:23,119 --> 01:12:26,840
has nothing to do with party.
My song isn't about a particular political party.

942
01:12:27,239 --> 01:12:31,239
I'm talking about everybody in Washington,
both Republicans and Democrats. So now

943
01:12:31,319 --> 01:12:35,359
he's getting some backlash from some of
the conservatives who supported him. But what

944
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,359
I would like to do, I
have not listened to this song all the

945
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:46,359
way through. Now. Regular listeners
might recall a number of weeks ago there

946
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:51,399
was a big controversy around the song
Try That in a Small Town by Jason

947
01:12:51,439 --> 01:13:00,920
Aldeen, and I intentionally avoided listening
to that song because I want to play

948
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:05,399
it on the show and give you
my live in the moment, unvarnished if

949
01:13:05,399 --> 01:13:10,399
you will reaction to it and get
feedback from the audience and get your thoughts

950
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:15,000
and whatnot. And luckily though,
DJ Steve was in the Facebook live chat

951
01:13:15,119 --> 01:13:17,439
that day and said, Hey,
Matt, heads up there. You'll want

952
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:23,039
the radio edit because Jason Aldeen actually
says the sword in the song, so

953
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:29,760
I had to find the radio edit. This song also has the sword in

954
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:34,399
it, but there is a radio
edit available, so I have not.

955
01:13:35,239 --> 01:13:40,039
Now I've heard more of this song
than I had heard of the Jason Aldeen

956
01:13:40,199 --> 01:13:44,279
song before I played it on the
show. But I've avoided listening to this

957
01:13:44,399 --> 01:13:45,800
song all the way through for the
same reason. I'm going to play the

958
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,119
song all the way through the radio
edit, of course, right here live

959
01:13:49,239 --> 01:13:54,119
on the air, and give you
my my reaction to it, and get

960
01:13:54,159 --> 01:13:57,600
your reaction and of course anybody in
the audience who wants to react or has

961
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:03,439
any thoughts on it. I've heard
only the very beginning of the song.

962
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,399
I have heard a tiny bit of
it. I had to hear enough of

963
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:11,760
it to make sure it was a
legitimate radio edit. Fortunately, the first

964
01:14:12,119 --> 01:14:15,800
s bomb is very early in the
song, so I didn't have to get

965
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,000
very far in the song to hear. Okay, they did the reversal on

966
01:14:19,119 --> 01:14:25,800
that to make the swear go away. Good. So this is a legitimate

967
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,560
radio edit. So so you haven't
heard the song, right, I don't

968
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,880
think though, Okay, so I'm
gonna play it right now. The radio

969
01:14:31,079 --> 01:14:38,079
edit of Richmond North of Richmond by
Oliver Anthony and h And I'll tell you

970
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:45,680
what I think. And uh,
well that's it. I'll tell you what

971
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,439
I think and we'll hear what you
all think. Here here we go.

972
01:14:49,239 --> 01:14:57,560
I've been selling my soul, working
home day over time hours for bish.

973
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:01,039
Hey, so I can sit out
here and waste my life for hate,

974
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:08,199
drag back home and drown my troubles
away. It's a damn shame what the

975
01:15:08,399 --> 01:15:14,039
horld has gotten to for people like
me, people like you. Wish I

976
01:15:14,159 --> 01:15:18,800
could just wake up and not be
true. But it is, Oh,

977
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:30,000
it is living in the new world
with a hold soul. The rich Man

978
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:35,760
nor the Richmond Lord knows it all. Just wanna have total control, wanna

979
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:41,000
know what you think. I wanna
know what you do, and then don't

980
01:15:41,079 --> 01:15:45,399
think you know, but then whole
like you do your dollar hate dish and

981
01:15:45,479 --> 01:16:00,960
it's costin on him, calls the
red Man on the ch man. Wish

982
01:16:00,039 --> 01:16:08,319
politicians look out from miners and not
just miners on an island somewhere. Lord,

983
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,720
we got folks in the street,
ain't got nothing to eat, and

984
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:17,880
they hold be milking welfare. God, if you're five foot three and your

985
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:24,600
three hundred pounds taxes hold not for
pay or your bags of food grounds don't

986
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,159
in. They're putting themselves six feet
in the ground. Is all this damn

987
01:16:29,279 --> 01:16:34,239
country does is keep on kicking them
down. Lord, It's a damn shame

988
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:42,079
what the world's gotten to the people
like me, people like you who wish

989
01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:47,079
I could just wake up and it
not be true, But it is all

990
01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:58,079
it is living in the new world
with an hold soul. These rich men

991
01:16:58,359 --> 01:17:03,800
told for Richmond. Lord knows they
all just wanna have total control, want

992
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:08,840
to know what you think, want
to know what you do. And then

993
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:12,840
I don't thank you, know,
but I know that you do because your

994
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:18,840
dollar haines ash and it's texting a
hen calls the CHMN not the DSMN.

995
01:17:38,279 --> 01:17:45,600
I've been selling my soul, working
all day over time hard for boldish pay.

996
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,840
What do you think that was the
first time for me listening to it

997
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,640
all the way through, and I'm
glad I've I've actually looked up some stuff

998
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:09,720
about this guy. I can see
what he's saying. Uh, there's some

999
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:14,119
stuff in there that I think is
kind of uncomfortable for me, because he's

1000
01:18:14,199 --> 01:18:19,760
doing like some there's some Nott shaming
in there about However, that being said,

1001
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:24,079
when you actually, when I'm reading
this man, what he is saying,

1002
01:18:25,279 --> 01:18:28,479
he's saying that the rich, the
rich, it's the rich who hurt

1003
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,399
the poor. And I'm sorry,
that's true, that's very true. The

1004
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:36,479
elitists did never have to worry about
their healthcare. The elitists don't worry about

1005
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:42,880
food on their table. And yeah, they'll pay as craptastic as they can

1006
01:18:43,039 --> 01:18:46,479
for a salary to make sure that
they keep pattinging those dollars they gotta pay

1007
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,399
for those little yats they get to
pay for those stily clothes. They could

1008
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,560
give two craps about the rest of
us, as long as their cough is

1009
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,960
a gain in fult so in the
in the in the vein of what he

1010
01:18:58,119 --> 01:19:01,520
intended for it. I can disagree
with this man. I think that,

1011
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:06,520
and I can support what he's saying. I well, one thing, I

1012
01:19:09,239 --> 01:19:15,000
yeah, one thing I cannot support
is he kind of he kind of uh

1013
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,920
at one point, and it's it's
with the fat shaming comment. He's sort

1014
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:26,640
of it it almost, And part
of my thinking about this might be a

1015
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:30,680
little bit tainted by some of what
I was reading and hearing about the song

1016
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,520
before actually listening to it. But
he sounds like he kind of takes a

1017
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:38,199
swipe at people who are unwelfare and
I don't and I don't like that.

1018
01:19:39,399 --> 01:19:44,279
Yeah, but but but he he
sounds like he's doing it more combined with

1019
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,399
fat shaming, like he doesn't do
they the old Ronald Reagan welfare queen.

1020
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:53,680
Uh nonsense, So right, And
that's what I was saying. That's part

1021
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,399
of the song that I have the
discomfort with. Yeah, the over if

1022
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,840
I take a broad view of what
he's singing a about, well, he's

1023
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,640
singing about a lot of the same
stuff that I've been talking about from podiums

1024
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:10,119
for the last few months about,
Yeah, how we don't get we get

1025
01:20:10,199 --> 01:20:15,199
cut off in our healthcare. People
are poor because they they're poor because they

1026
01:20:15,239 --> 01:20:18,680
can only afford their medicines. After
that they're broke. They're made medically poor.

1027
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:23,760
How many people have bankruptcies, lose
their houses because of medicine? What

1028
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,520
he just from that one perspective to
me, if I look at it in

1029
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,479
that vein, one hundred percent agree
with the guy. But I mean,

1030
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,800
there's a lot of what he says
it's absolutely true, and especially I gotta

1031
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:39,880
say in some southern areas. When
I was in Kentucky, the world was

1032
01:20:40,079 --> 01:20:45,800
very different, and I'm sure that
it still is from the north. You

1033
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,600
know, maybe it's a different world. The pay scales are different. I

1034
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:55,039
worked in a sweatshop sewing factory.
We got told we weren't getting paychecks because

1035
01:20:55,079 --> 01:20:58,880
the facts machine messed up the numbers
because ninety percent of the people in that

1036
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,560
room didn't know how a fax machine
worked, what it does, never even

1037
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:06,560
saw one. You know. I
saw a lot of slimy, slimy stuff

1038
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:11,640
in Kentucky that would never get pulled
off here. Yeah, but they get

1039
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,079
away with it in the backwood there, at least they did when I was

1040
01:21:15,159 --> 01:21:17,560
there. I'm speaking from my own
personal experience, right, I don't know

1041
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,640
what that world is like now.
Maybe because we're all connected now with computers,

1042
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:26,720
maybe it's become different. Oh,
I'm sure I felt about the job

1043
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,199
application that literally asked me if I
was married, and if I had children,

1044
01:21:30,319 --> 01:21:32,319
how many it wanted? My height
it wanted my weight. This was

1045
01:21:32,399 --> 01:21:38,720
a gas station job. So I
remember what I said about the Jason Aldeen

1046
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,960
song when I played that live on
the air. I said, just now

1047
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,079
taking the video out of it,
just a song itself. And there by

1048
01:21:45,119 --> 01:21:46,880
the way, there is no video
for the well, no, actually I

1049
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,119
think there is a video for this
song. But it's so simple. It's

1050
01:21:49,159 --> 01:21:53,119
a simplaint. But you know,
the Jason Aldean song, of course,

1051
01:21:53,159 --> 01:21:55,880
has this whole big produced video,
and there's controversy about the video, but

1052
01:21:56,159 --> 01:21:59,640
the song itself. What I said
about the song itself, because people were

1053
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:04,079
saying it was racist and whatnot,
I said, this song taken by itself,

1054
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:10,520
I don't believe as racist, but
I can see it why if you

1055
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:15,039
are racist, you would like this
song. I would say about this song

1056
01:22:15,239 --> 01:22:21,560
Richmond North of Richmond, if you
are a I don't think the song is

1057
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:28,199
promoting a particular ideology, and apparently, from what Oliver Anthony is saying,

1058
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:32,319
that was absolutely not his intention.
However, I can see why conservatives.

1059
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,920
Why is something like you know,
the Daily Wire crew, like Ben Shapiro

1060
01:22:36,079 --> 01:22:42,319
and Matt Walsh and all of them. I can see why they got behind

1061
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,479
the song because there's some you know, it's it's it's kind of a populist.

1062
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:49,079
It's become sort of this populist anthem, and there's different kinds of populism,

1063
01:22:49,159 --> 01:22:54,439
and it's kind of a right leaning
sounding populism. So I can see

1064
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:59,199
why they got behind the song.
But there's a couple of interesting controversies that

1065
01:22:59,279 --> 01:23:02,760
actually have come out. So one
is is what I said, he was

1066
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:08,159
upset that the song was used during
during that debate. And by the way,

1067
01:23:08,319 --> 01:23:11,039
for anyone who says, because I
know some people are saying, well,

1068
01:23:11,039 --> 01:23:15,479
then why did he approve it,
he probably didn't. They never usually

1069
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,760
do. Well, here's the thing
though, because some people say, well,

1070
01:23:19,159 --> 01:23:23,039
wouldn't he wouldn't He have had to
have at least given his approval for

1071
01:23:23,079 --> 01:23:26,920
them to use a song. But
here's the thing. Well, yeah,

1072
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,159
there's a bit of a history of
people using songs and political campaigns without approval.

1073
01:23:31,039 --> 01:23:33,960
But the other thing is this guy
got very famous, very fast,

1074
01:23:34,079 --> 01:23:39,000
and very rich. Well I don't
know if he's rich looking at the numbers.

1075
01:23:39,119 --> 01:23:42,079
Oh okay, oh yeah yeah,
but he got very famous, very

1076
01:23:42,159 --> 01:23:45,800
fast, and he probably I'm sure
he has a team already that had to

1077
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,960
be hastily put together who he probably
has a management team who said, well,

1078
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:56,359
of course you can use the song, and it wasn't necessarily his decision.

1079
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,960
But so that's one controversy. So
now he's coming out and say,

1080
01:24:00,239 --> 01:24:02,000
no, they're part of the problem. They're the people I'm singing about.

1081
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:08,600
It's not it's not just about one
party. But the other controversy is now

1082
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:15,159
he's also being accused of faking his
accent because of a video of an interview

1083
01:24:15,319 --> 01:24:20,560
that he did where he talks about
diversity. This is what's got the Daily

1084
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:28,039
Wire crew all upset. He talks
about diversity, and he talks about how

1085
01:24:28,159 --> 01:24:31,039
diversity is a strength and it's one
of the things that is great about America

1086
01:24:31,119 --> 01:24:35,720
and we should celebrate diversity. Well, not everyone that the Daily Wire is

1087
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,920
on board with that message, as
you might imagine. Not everyone's a fan

1088
01:24:40,079 --> 01:24:46,760
of this diversity of which he speaks. Now, some people are also saying

1089
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:53,199
to him, I've seen I've seen
online people saying, you know, well

1090
01:24:53,359 --> 01:24:58,119
this this guy clearly got used.
I actually saw it might have even been

1091
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,680
on this because I got this radio
edit from YouTube. It might even be

1092
01:25:01,239 --> 01:25:05,119
on here. Somebody said, you
got used, dude, saying that,

1093
01:25:05,239 --> 01:25:11,920
basically saying that he got used by
the Daily Wire and these other online conservatives

1094
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,880
who made this song their anthem,
and now they're mad at him because they

1095
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,479
feel betrayed by him, because he's
not really with them. He's not with

1096
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:26,840
any particular party. But but I
think it's possible. And again I say

1097
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,199
this from a little bit of a
different perspective than most people probably have because

1098
01:25:30,199 --> 01:25:32,840
of you know, I come from
a music industry background. I think it's

1099
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:40,560
possible that this guy used the system
to get himself famous. And if,

1100
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:45,079
and if I'm right, if this
was intentional on his part, bravo,

1101
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:51,680
well played. Because this guy,
no matter who likes a song or who

1102
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:58,800
doesn't, and whatever backlash he's facing, this guy not only did he get

1103
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:04,319
famous almost overnight with the song,
but he's figured out how to keep his

1104
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:11,640
name in the news with all the
backlash. I mean, it's fantastic.

1105
01:26:12,199 --> 01:26:16,079
If it did all happen by accident, that's great too. But that's impressive.

1106
01:26:16,159 --> 01:26:20,560
I mean, this is all I'm
amazed. And here this is from

1107
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,840
Newsweek. By the way, he's
supposedly making forty grand a day on this

1108
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,439
could be Yeah, I mean,
it's a it's a viral law sensation.

1109
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,279
Certainly is uh. This is from
Newsweek. Oliver Anthony's meteoric rise to fame

1110
01:26:32,359 --> 01:26:38,000
in the country music world has come
with increased scrutiny, this time focusing on

1111
01:26:38,119 --> 01:26:43,199
his accent. Last month, Anthony
was an unknown country music hopeful, but

1112
01:26:43,319 --> 01:26:47,199
thanks to an endorsement from controversial podcaster
Joe Rogan, I didn't even realize it

1113
01:26:47,239 --> 01:26:51,880
started with Joe Rogan. He went
viral overnight with his hit song rich Men

1114
01:26:53,039 --> 01:26:57,880
North of Richmond. A video of
him singing the song was uploaded to YouTube

1115
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,279
on August seven and has received thirty
four million views with more than one hundred

1116
01:27:01,279 --> 01:27:05,399
and thirty thousand comments at the time
of the writing. It won praise from

1117
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:11,560
many well known conservatives for highlighting topics
such as QAnon and Jeffrey Epstein. I

1118
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:15,239
didn't catch a QAnon reference in there. I did catch the Jeffrey Epstein reference.

1119
01:27:15,239 --> 01:27:17,600
He talks about miners on an island. The song also takes aim at

1120
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:23,680
taxation, welfare cheats, obesity,
and makes references makes reference to sex trafficking.

1121
01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:29,800
Well, that's yeah, that's the
jeff Jeffrey Epstein part Republican politician Marjorie

1122
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:35,439
Taylor Green even dubbed the song the
Anthem of Forgotten Americans, but his newfound

1123
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:40,439
fans have already started to turn on
the singer after comments he made during a

1124
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:45,760
Fox interview. Anthony described blue collar
workers as quote the melting pot of the

1125
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:50,960
world unquote, and championed diversity,
saying, quote, that's what makes us

1126
01:27:51,079 --> 01:27:56,880
strong. We need to learn to
harness that and appreciate it and not use

1127
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:00,960
it as a political tool to keep
everyone separate from each other. They're unquote,

1128
01:28:00,319 --> 01:28:05,880
he said, which earned the wrath
of some conservatives on Twitter. Why

1129
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:15,880
is he talking about deservested diversity?
That's that's so it's it's weird. How

1130
01:28:15,319 --> 01:28:19,600
that's pretty mild stuff. You know, you you you would you would think

1131
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,920
he said, by the way,
I you know, I love Black lives

1132
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,840
matter, and you know, all
he said was, you know, diversity,

1133
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,119
and we're the melting pot of the
world and we should celebrate that.

1134
01:28:30,159 --> 01:28:34,800
That's pretty mild. I'm looking at
some of the comments that are being made.

1135
01:28:35,199 --> 01:28:42,439
So I told you this guy was
a plant. Yeah, promoting what

1136
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:49,239
is this promoted algorithm promoted algorithm boosted
based red bearded hillbilly song guy was faking

1137
01:28:49,279 --> 01:28:55,600
his accent and says diversity is our
strength. Why is he saying diversity?

1138
01:28:58,279 --> 01:29:00,039
It says here. There's more from
Newsweek, It's says now. His detractors

1139
01:29:00,079 --> 01:29:05,640
have claimed the Farmville, Virginian native
has been faking his accent and pointed to

1140
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:11,560
the Fox News interview with Griff Jenkins
as proof. They claimed his accent was

1141
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:17,039
not Southern, even though his singing
style would suggest otherwise. Virginia, God,

1142
01:29:17,159 --> 01:29:19,920
that is so ignorant. Come on, now, you can sing however

1143
01:29:20,039 --> 01:29:24,000
you want. It's art. You
know what it's your If it's it's his

1144
01:29:24,159 --> 01:29:27,399
song, you can sing it out
every one. He sounds too southern in

1145
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,359
the song. So now he's a
poser. Do you know that when people

1146
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:35,319
talk and when people sing, they
don't always sound the same. That's true.

1147
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:40,960
I mean seriously, like over look
at any European band, they all

1148
01:29:41,039 --> 01:29:45,439
sing English, English, American accent
English. Yeah, they were right.

1149
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,800
Yeah, the accent doesn't usually with
rare exceptions, the accent doesn't usually come

1150
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:53,960
from when someone's singing. Yeah,
when they copy of Metallica song they try

1151
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:58,640
and coffee it. How Metallica sings
it, or Billy Joe Armstrong from Green

1152
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,880
Day, he sounds like he's and
he's from California, so it can work

1153
01:30:02,199 --> 01:30:06,000
that way too. I met the
guy who played House. He could speak

1154
01:30:06,119 --> 01:30:10,199
perfect English, not it like he
was born in Brooklyn. He's European,

1155
01:30:10,319 --> 01:30:15,079
he's British. He's actually when he
talks in his regular voice, he's totally

1156
01:30:15,159 --> 01:30:18,920
British in his dialect. I think
that's stupid. I think that that whole

1157
01:30:19,119 --> 01:30:24,279
thing is just stupid. I think
they're just looking for something to latch onto

1158
01:30:24,359 --> 01:30:28,760
because he didn't turned out to be
their boy. He hasn't. He flat.

1159
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,159
He's denied that he's a conservative.
He says he's more of a centrist.

1160
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,920
Yeah, you know, he's totally
denied that. So he's not playing

1161
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,960
along with what they want. They're
going to find new reasons to hate him.

1162
01:30:39,159 --> 01:30:43,520
He's a plant. He's talking about
diversity, and really he was talking

1163
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:48,439
about rich people just destroying poor people, doing everything they can to make money

1164
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,199
and squeeze the money out of the
poor people, but you know, never

1165
01:30:51,319 --> 01:30:55,600
going back to them. And he
literally did say that. He was talking

1166
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,000
about all of those people that were
on that debate stage. He literally said,

1167
01:30:59,239 --> 01:31:02,039
right, I am talking about you. So their tick, now,

1168
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:06,840
this was going to be their guy
Man their new champion song and he's ruining

1169
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:11,800
it for them. Yeah, it
also but you know that's it is true.

1170
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,800
It's one thing that's really gross in
politics is that they just don't seem

1171
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:20,119
to care about personal property rights.
Like they're all about property rights until it's

1172
01:31:20,119 --> 01:31:24,960
somebody else's song. Like how many
musicians have you seen? I couldn't even

1173
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,920
think of a name to quantify it. How many musicians you hear about complaining?

1174
01:31:29,199 --> 01:31:31,239
So when those used there's my song
and their rally and I never told

1175
01:31:31,279 --> 01:31:35,520
them they could, right, Oh
yeah, that's happened so much billion times

1176
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:40,359
because they never asked for permission.
They just do it. The New York

1177
01:31:40,399 --> 01:31:44,760
Posts has an article Oliver Anthony is
singing for all of us hometown salutes rich

1178
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:48,159
Men of North rich Men North of
Richmond. Phenomenon says. This is a

1179
01:31:48,199 --> 01:31:53,520
short article. It says here the
men south of Richmond were on a high

1180
01:31:53,840 --> 01:32:00,439
when viral phenomenon Oliver Anthony made a
surprise appearance at a street festival here Saturday

1181
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,159
night. Anthony's rich Men North of
Richmond is rocketed to number one on the

1182
01:32:03,159 --> 01:32:09,960
Billboard Heart one Hot one hundred,
propelling at once unknown songwriter from south central

1183
01:32:10,039 --> 01:32:14,439
Virginia into the national onto the national
stage, but he's staying close to his

1184
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:18,199
roots. Uh, I'm gonna skip
down. I don't care about that part,

1185
01:32:18,319 --> 01:32:25,960
okay, Oh, this is more
about the show that he did recently.

1186
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,279
I like the guy a bit more
after this conversation. I'll say,

1187
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,960
I like the fact that he's standing
up for what he feels and he's not

1188
01:32:34,119 --> 01:32:38,119
letting other people take it and try
and twist it into what they want.

1189
01:32:38,399 --> 01:32:43,840
Yeah, I'm not crazy. I'm
certainly I'm definitely not okay with the fat

1190
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,159
shaming and you know, trying to
do the wellfish shaming. I think that's

1191
01:32:46,279 --> 01:32:50,239
that's but see, that's that's a
low blow to be going to, especially

1192
01:32:50,239 --> 01:32:53,880
if you're trying to talk about the
rich men and Richmond, why are you

1193
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:58,880
talking about you know, those aren't
rich men. But but it's also though

1194
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,239
the backlash, see the backlash to
the song now that's happening from the right.

1195
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,800
It's another example of what I always
talk about about, how we live

1196
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:11,039
in this binary political culture where you
have to be all the way on one

1197
01:33:11,079 --> 01:33:14,239
side or all the way on the
other, or you just confuse you just

1198
01:33:14,359 --> 01:33:20,199
confuse people. Because here's an example
of there shouldn't be any backlash coming from

1199
01:33:20,239 --> 01:33:26,600
the right. The song has several
conservative tropes, so that doesn't mean so

1200
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:30,119
if you're a conservative and you like
the song because of that, then you

1201
01:33:30,159 --> 01:33:34,159
shouldn't be mad at the guy for
saying one thing you don't like, or

1202
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:39,199
because he doesn't have the accent that
you thought that he had, or whatever

1203
01:33:39,279 --> 01:33:42,800
it is. You can still appreciate
the song. You don't have to completely

1204
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,920
turn on the guy just because you
thought you thought he was all the way

1205
01:33:47,039 --> 01:33:49,960
completely with you, and now you're
going, oh, maybe he's not really

1206
01:33:50,119 --> 01:33:55,680
conservative, maybe he's more a right
leaning guy or whatever. So oh now

1207
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:58,640
we have to be upset with him, Like, oh, tis tis Matt,

1208
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:00,760
what are you ever thinking? I
mean, it even not how this

1209
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:03,680
works, It even affects art,
it even affects music. You know,

1210
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:10,079
this nastiness that exists, this polarization. This used to be that way.

1211
01:34:10,119 --> 01:34:13,760
But like just to watch, I'm
looking at another process. Person goes where

1212
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,840
did Oliver as an accent? Go? Also, why is he saying diversity

1213
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:23,560
as our strength? Like how that's
a bad sentence. Now, diversity is

1214
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:28,640
a bad word. How dare you? Oh? How? Oh my?

1215
01:34:29,119 --> 01:34:31,039
Never, we should just take the
statue of liberty, like we should just

1216
01:34:31,159 --> 01:34:38,039
send up a sandblaster to just stand
off the book because you know, we're

1217
01:34:38,119 --> 01:34:41,479
not give me your poor you're tired, you're hungry masses. We're not that

1218
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:46,039
melting pot anymore. That's not what
people want. Apparently, at least these

1219
01:34:46,119 --> 01:34:49,880
people can. We just this is
why we all need to get out and

1220
01:34:50,039 --> 01:34:54,960
vote and speak up and talk,
because if you don't, they're gonna win.

1221
01:34:56,239 --> 01:35:00,560
And and when they win, every
every every day, Joe loses,

1222
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:04,520
in my opinion. In my opinion, I like the guy because he did

1223
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:09,279
stand up and say, no,
don't take my song. It's not about

1224
01:35:09,359 --> 01:35:12,159
you. In fact, you're the
Actually it is about you, but not

1225
01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:15,880
in a good way. But I
do like that, and I think the

1226
01:35:15,119 --> 01:35:19,960
song isn't bad. It's just the
one fiction and his voice. Yeah,

1227
01:35:21,119 --> 01:35:25,159
a lot of people who came out
because of course, again you have the

1228
01:35:25,239 --> 01:35:30,439
polarization, so you had all these
uh conservatives online who championed the song.

1229
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:34,159
So of course you have also all
these people on the left who are condemning

1230
01:35:34,239 --> 01:35:38,439
the song and condemning him. They
were, they're not condemning him anymore,

1231
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:42,000
but you know, condemning the song. But not just not just the message

1232
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,159
of the song, but saying,
oh, he has no talent and all

1233
01:35:44,199 --> 01:35:46,560
this terrible stuff. And no,
I think he's talented, and I actually

1234
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:53,760
like his vocal delivery. I have
no problem with any of that. We

1235
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:56,760
have a call. Hi, welcome
to Matt Connerton. Unleash. Who's this?

1236
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:02,039
Hey there, manage check? Is
this? It's Jackson? Oh?

1237
01:36:02,279 --> 01:36:06,319
Jackson? How are you? Haven't
heard from you in a while. I've

1238
01:36:06,359 --> 01:36:11,119
been doing splendid. I had to
get my airmates fixed again because I had

1239
01:36:11,159 --> 01:36:15,600
a storm hit my damn router.
A storm actually hit your router. Why

1240
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,479
don't you keep it inside? Yeah, it hits the router and it knocked

1241
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:23,760
off and it only worked on the
TV for like a week. Oh my,

1242
01:36:24,159 --> 01:36:29,319
well that's horrible. I know.
And the big thing is we're working

1243
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,439
on a couple of other things I'm
working with. I'm getting on LPFM very

1244
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:39,640
soon. Oh very good, very
good. Currently your station streams online?

1245
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:44,199
Right? Or is it down because
of the router? Now? I got

1246
01:36:44,279 --> 01:36:46,920
back up this morning. Oh good, good good. It took a week

1247
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:54,159
and a weekend. Yeah, yeah, well very good. Where where exactly

1248
01:36:54,239 --> 01:36:57,600
are you again? What stayed are
you in? I forget I'm in Georgia,

1249
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,279
Georgia. Yes, yes, Georgia. That's a lot of a lot

1250
01:37:00,359 --> 01:37:06,479
going on in Georgia right now.
But well the boring down there now right

1251
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:13,359
going on. So now it's not
raining good, that's good. But the

1252
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:18,199
big thing is talking about the Trump
went to prison and all that, or

1253
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:24,079
Trump of the jel and Fulton County. That was a big kind of story.

1254
01:37:24,159 --> 01:37:27,000
And I saw his most shot.
There was three of the most shots

1255
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,159
there were posting one of his little
mean face, one of the mean faced

1256
01:37:30,199 --> 01:37:33,119
the middle finger, and another one
I saw. Well, there's only one

1257
01:37:33,159 --> 01:37:36,600
of those is authentic obviously, just
the one with his mean face. I

1258
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:43,039
think he looks mean. How do
you think he looks? He just looks.

1259
01:37:43,319 --> 01:37:45,960
He looks looks and I don't want
to say the word like piss or

1260
01:37:46,039 --> 01:37:50,039
something like that. Yeah, he
looks angry. That's an angry Trump.

1261
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:57,760
He's angry, angry. And I
actually have a friend who lives in New

1262
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,960
Hampshire. His name is Roy and
he lives in some I know Roy,

1263
01:38:00,119 --> 01:38:05,359
Roy from Somersworth. Yeah, yeah, we all know each other here.

1264
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:10,560
It's a small state. It is

1267
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:24,560
I love listening to the show.
Usually I usual listen on Facebook,

1268
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:29,199
but I usually listen online when I'm
at school or anything like that. Understand,

long term endeavor obviously, but yeah,

No, very cool, very cool. Good have you? Do you have

1303
01:41:09,159 --> 01:41:13,520
any Do you have any opinions on
this song rich Men North of Richmond by

1304
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:18,920
Oliver Anthony? I did he we
we are bit we are. We contact

1305
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:23,079
the record label and we're able to
get a cut from him, says hey,

1306
01:41:23,199 --> 01:41:27,520
this is Oliver, Oliver Ampthony,
and this is my new song.

1307
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,560
You know that of a rich man
on the station. So I have that?

1308
01:41:31,039 --> 01:41:35,119
Oh? Very cool? Uh you? Uh so you like the song

1309
01:41:35,319 --> 01:41:39,880
and you're not mad at him about
anything? No, I'm not. I'm

1310
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:44,800
just mad at these record labels.
You're trying to like control them. You

1311
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,920
feel his record label is trying to
control him. The No, the record

1312
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,800
labels are trying to control them.
They're trying to control him like a puppet.

1313
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:59,439
Ah, a puppet of the label. M hmm, a puppet puppet,

1314
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,239
like a pupp it like he want. He turned down an eight million

1315
01:42:01,359 --> 01:42:08,119
dollars deal right record company. I
saw a notion one of my studies.

1316
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:12,319
I saw I saw a search that
said he was earning forty thousand a day

1317
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:16,479
from the song and turned down an
eight million dollars record deal. But I

1318
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,439
don't know like where that's coming from. I did just find another quote from

1319
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:25,760
him where he said that he's fat
up with what he perceives to be the

1320
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:31,039
weaponization of his music by both the
right and the left. Hmm, well,

1321
01:42:31,399 --> 01:42:33,840
yeah, Actually the New York Post
is to be poured to do it.

1322
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:38,640
He wanted to be independent, so
he has. He has been climbing

1323
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:42,079
up the chart lately. Oh,
he hit the top of the Billboard Hot

1324
01:42:42,119 --> 01:42:45,880
one hundred, I believe. Yeah. So we use a we use a

1325
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:53,479
chart called media Base, okay,
and he's number forty one on there.

1326
01:42:54,359 --> 01:43:00,239
Okay, on Mediabase. Yeah,
like like like rust stakes to use it.

1327
01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:02,880
Oh yeah, no, I'm familiar
with it. Yeah, absolutely,

1328
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:08,760
Oh cool. Cool. Well,
you should try to get him. You

1329
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:12,960
should try to get him for an
interview if I can, and I should

1330
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:17,840
Pap Papa see you guys. Oh, we'd be happy to absolutely absolutely,

1331
01:43:19,079 --> 01:43:23,560
Well, very good, Uh Jackson, we are we are almost to the

1332
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,199
end of the show, so we'll
have to let you go. But I

1333
01:43:26,239 --> 01:43:30,119
appreciate the call. It's good to
hear from you. You two, all

1334
01:43:30,199 --> 01:43:33,520
right, man, congratulations on everything. Bye bye, all right. That's

1335
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:39,039
our that's our friend Jackson Harris from
Georgia. He's the only Georgian we hear

1336
01:43:39,119 --> 01:43:44,680
from occasionally. I think I feel
like ever Felt is regretfully sorry that they

1337
01:43:45,159 --> 01:43:48,760
goofed with their computer stuff and they
have got it all figured out and would

1338
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:53,000
like to join us on Thursday.
Okay, all right, very good,

1339
01:43:53,039 --> 01:43:56,199
So they will be joining us then, okay, so yeah, so if

1340
01:43:56,239 --> 01:44:00,920
you're if you're just joining us ever
Felt our guest today, great band from

1341
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:03,279
Illinois. They had a bit of
an an issue, so they're okay,

1342
01:44:03,319 --> 01:44:09,680
so they have rescheduled for Thursday.
Very good, and I will tomorrow.

1343
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:13,840
You have Norris Set, an interesting
artist out of the UK. Yes,

1344
01:44:14,359 --> 01:44:17,239
yes, joining us via Skype of
course. Yes, so I'll probably like

1345
01:44:17,359 --> 01:44:19,960
him to show up, but I
don't think I can get the flight right.

1346
01:44:20,159 --> 01:44:25,399
Yeah, I'll have to end to
today's show with this ever Felt song,

1347
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,479
give people another taste of what they
can expect on Thursday. So very

1348
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:30,760
good. Yeah. I like their
sound. I like their sound a lot.

1349
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,159
I suppose if anyone wants to get
them with a very quick call,

1350
01:44:34,239 --> 01:44:38,239
but it will have to be terse. The studio line is open. We

1351
01:44:38,319 --> 01:44:42,119
have a couple of minutes left six
zo three two five zero six seven six

1352
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:46,520
three two five zero six o seven. By the way, pretty interesting day,

1353
01:44:48,119 --> 01:44:51,520
just a little Mark Meadows taking the
stand. I'm not sure where that

1354
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:56,640
he's trying to get his he's trying
to get his trial. I'm looking at

1355
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:59,399
it now. That doesn't look like
a decision has been made. But he

1356
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:02,199
did, in fact spend some time
on that stand. Yeah, he's trying

1357
01:45:02,199 --> 01:45:09,039
to get trying to get that removed
from Georgia and right. But the reason

1358
01:45:09,239 --> 01:45:14,239
is because the President told him to
do this. He's he's his defense is

1359
01:45:14,319 --> 01:45:17,359
the President told me to do it. Yeah, So isn't that kind of

1360
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:21,000
like proving the point? Well,
what's I mean? That's the part that's

1361
01:45:21,039 --> 01:45:25,560
throwing me. Is it feels like
it's proving the point. I wonder if

1362
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:30,000
it'll help him or not, if
he even successfully gets it moved. I

1363
01:45:30,319 --> 01:45:33,720
you know, when it's not gonna, it's not gonna. When it came

1364
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:35,720
to light that he was trying to
do it, that he was trying to

1365
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:40,800
get it moved from Georgia to federal
court, my first thought was that he

1366
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,840
was doing that because he thought,
then if Trump does get reelected, he'd

1367
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:47,319
be able to pardon him if he's
found guilty. But then I realized that,

1368
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:51,119
no, it doesn't work that way
because even if the trial gets moved

1369
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:58,000
to federal court, he's still charged
in Georgia, so the president would still

1370
01:45:58,119 --> 01:46:03,600
not be able to to pardon him. So that actually doesn't help him.

1371
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:08,640
Well, he's sure about that because
he's using the undercolor of office, you

1372
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:13,119
know, under the president's office,
under his power. I did these things

1373
01:46:13,279 --> 01:46:15,520
right, that's his defense. But
I'm saying if he's actually convicted, it

1374
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:20,000
won't help him if it's in federal
court versus Georgia court. If he's convicted,

1375
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,960
he would still get sent to a
state prison. Is that what you're

1376
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,880
saying. No, I'm saying the
president couldn't pardon who couldn't pardon him?

1377
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,119
I'm not sure about that, because
he'll still he'll still have been charged in

1378
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:34,600
uh but because of the reason no, because it's vacated out of the state

1379
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:40,560
to the federals, it would be
a federal prosecution, not I don't know

1380
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:44,000
from what I read, it doesn't
matter because it because he was charged in

1381
01:46:44,319 --> 01:46:47,960
Georgia. Maybe so he still can't
be pardoned federally. Maybe, but that

1382
01:46:48,199 --> 01:46:54,000
doesn't look like there's been any decision, just a lot of testifying and a

1383
01:46:54,079 --> 01:46:57,800
lot of very tired news reporters from
what we could hear earlier. Yeah,

1384
01:46:58,199 --> 01:47:00,960
right, we're listening to the reports
earlier, and you're hearing about people are

1385
01:47:00,039 --> 01:47:03,960
running in and out of overflow rooms
trying to get in and hear what's going

1386
01:47:04,039 --> 01:47:10,119
on, and even seeing some of
Trump's own attorneys for there in the audience

1387
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:15,880
seeing what Meadows was saying too.
Right, I'm not sure if it was

1388
01:47:15,199 --> 01:47:18,960
they were in I don't the way
the woman said it on the on the

1389
01:47:19,079 --> 01:47:24,399
radio, it sounded like she was
saying that Trump's attorney was in the overflow

1390
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:30,159
room watching what was going on with
Meadows and his testimony. Yeah, this

1391
01:47:30,359 --> 01:47:38,119
just gets so, it's crazy.
It is which trials when no, wait,

1392
01:47:38,199 --> 01:47:43,119
there was a trial date set today
for March ye for the federal case,

1393
01:47:43,279 --> 01:47:45,880
right, the January sixth case?
Is that the one that's think so?

1394
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,680
But I'm losing track. I'm losing
I need a flow chart at this

1395
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:57,199
point to keep track of the four
different cases and who's where, and yeah,

1396
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,000
what's interesting about the Meadows thing though, is isn't he kind of sort

1397
01:48:00,039 --> 01:48:06,760
of almost It's it's like he's admitting. It's like he's admitting to it by

1398
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:10,640
saying, but the President told me
to do it, right. Isn't he

1399
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,920
actually admitting Yeah, I don't know, Yeah I did this, but the

1400
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:16,079
President told me to right. I
don't know that he denies anything. By

1401
01:48:16,119 --> 01:48:19,159
the way, I just saw this
pop up, Joe the Plumber is dead.

1402
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:25,359
I don't know if if anyone,
if Peter had, or if anyone

1403
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,760
on the Morning Show had Joe the
Plumber and the death Pool, but probably

1404
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,560
not. I don't think so.
I'd forgotten about him, we'd forgotten about

1405
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:34,439
the death Pool. He was dead
at forty nine? Wow, yep,

1406
01:48:35,279 --> 01:48:40,800
what I don't know if that I'm
not seeing. I'm looking to see here

1407
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:45,800
how he died. It says that
COVID. It just says after Oh oh

1408
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:51,319
wow, pancreatic cancer. Oh no, that's yeah, that's a horrible that's

1409
01:48:51,359 --> 01:48:55,520
a horrible cancer. Didn't he get
like his own talk show at one point

1410
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,079
after he got famous during the two
thousand and eight campaign. I'm not sure.

1411
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:02,199
I'm I'm not sure. He had
a pretty good fun run there for

1412
01:49:02,279 --> 01:49:08,119
a while. Joe the Plumber.
Yep, all right, well kind of

1413
01:49:08,199 --> 01:49:12,960
like Oliver. No, that's too
bad. What Oliver's dead already? No,

1414
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:16,760
like the guy just got famous.
No, you mean Oliver from the

1415
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:20,000
Brady Bunch when they stop it.
They did that episode where they killed him

1416
01:49:20,039 --> 01:49:25,319
off. No, a very special
Brady Bunch they killed off Oliver. Yeah,

1417
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:29,119
he was eaten by Tiger the dog. Oh, come on, after

1418
01:49:29,199 --> 01:49:31,239
he was hit by a car,
Oliver, not Tiger, stop it.

1419
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:33,760
And the Fluffy the cat was there, and yeah, they ate him,

1420
01:49:34,319 --> 01:49:40,960
stop it terrible they ate him.
