1
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.119
All right, good morning everybody.
It is six o eight here on the

2
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:55.000
k c O Day radio program phone
number eight eight eight nine three four seven

3
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.880
eight seven four. I I hate
to do this to your first thing,

4
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.439
but I don't really have any choice
in the matter. As I was reading

5
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.799
this piece yesterday, but I was
reading after I had sent you all the

6
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:11.760
stack stuff for us, so it
didn't make it in the stack. But

7
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:22.000
I feel like we should probably open
here because this is yet another example where

8
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:29.799
something should be done and nothing will
be done. A new reporting by Matt

9
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.159
Taiebi you know who that is,
one of the journalists on the Twitter files,

10
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:46.000
along with Alex guten tag a great
last name, and Michael Schllenberger,

11
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.120
who I'm sure you're probably aware,
one of the Twitter files guys. But

12
00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:00.280
also these three now say that they
have multiple sources within the US government who

13
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:08.479
have identified patient zero for COVID,
and specifically it's Patience zero or would it

14
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:20.759
be patient zeros don't know three individuals
now where I tell you their names.

15
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.879
Let me let me throw something out
here. We'll play a little like guessing

16
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:35.439
game. All three of them work
at the same place. Would anyone like

17
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:42.319
to guess what that place might be
these three work. Don't I know what

18
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.120
you're doing? I know, Ross, I know what you're doing. He

19
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.800
is so excited with himself, so
excited. Now I'm going to give you

20
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:00.360
their names. Do you think that
will help? Because Ross, he just

21
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.919
shrugged his shoulders. You don't know, right, because that's not enough clue.

22
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.479
Maybe some names would help, even
though I told you he can't even

23
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.840
turn his mic gun. He's laughing
so hard. You want to hear their

24
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:20.680
names before you guess it would be
helpful. Yeah, okay, is that?

25
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.599
What is that what you just loaded
here? Okay? All right?

26
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.719
Some ting? No, that's not
one. No, not him either,

27
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:38.400
dang. Maybe their cousin. I
don't know, like a shot man that

28
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.520
something was wrong at first? Well
no, because he told me, like,

29
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.639
you know, before we went in
there, like right before we went

30
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.319
in the air. Yeah, y
oh my god. They found out you

31
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.960
know, who they are, And
so I google it's like a tweet at

32
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.919
the story and then I see the
headline and I'm like, okay, yeah,

33
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:58.719
yeah, yeah, so uh.
Their actual names are Ben who which,

34
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.960
by the way, doesn't that sound
like a child knese rip off of

35
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:11.240
a classic American movie? Do reboots, You Ping, not ting Ping,

36
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:19.160
and yan Zoo? What does that
name reminds us that yan Zoo? What

37
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:25.959
am I thinking of some movie reference? It's not quite yan Zoo, but

38
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.560
it sounds similar. All right.
So, now that you've been armed with

39
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:39.000
the correct information and not some ting
Wong we too low, holy fuk and

40
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.120
bang ding oo, that will never
do you. That's got to follow everyone

41
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
at that station around for their whole
career, right, yeah, but what

42
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.800
a pinnacle to be at. Oh
of course. Yeah. The people will

43
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:59.879
never forget you as you sit there
and read the four pilots names from that.

44
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:08.800
Is it air China? I think
it was Air China the plane that

45
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.079
crashed on the runway in San Francisco
or was it Seattle whatever, That's what

46
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:21.759
they went on the news with as
the story was developing. Classic So Ben

47
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.920
Whu, Youyu Ping, and yan
Zoo. Where do you believe they all

48
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:35.560
worked? No? No, not
the wet market, Wuhan Institute of Virology

49
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:46.959
Lab. So the three patient zeros
or patients zero? Not sure? Maybe

50
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.879
it's like attorneys general. I don't
know. All worked in research, specifically

51
00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:02.560
research surrounding bats at the Wuhan lab. Do you remember when you were d

52
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:10.160
person for suggesting that. And by
the way, if you read the reporting

53
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.040
when our sources were asked, how
certain they were that those were in fact

54
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:26.519
the identities of the three patient zeros, all of which were scientists working in

55
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.839
the Wuhan labs specifically on the research
surrounding these bats and the coronavirus and coronaviruses

56
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:45.519
within bats, providing documentation to the
reporters. So what are we going to

57
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.000
do about it? There's a whole
lot of people need dealt with. One

58
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.920
China right, two World Health Organization
who helped China cover this up. Ask

59
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.360
yourself, how how long do you
think that they've known. They had to

60
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.759
have known way long ago, right, they've had to know for a while.

61
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:14.399
I mean, it's pretty damn obvious. What about our How would do

62
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.000
you think Fauci Fouci had to know? Of course he knew. Do you

63
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.959
think Trump knew? I'm not sure
if Trump knew, because remember he was

64
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.759
really trying to u you could he
was trying to work on in that relationship

65
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.120
with China, and I remember losing
my crap over it because they just continue

66
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.720
to screw us daily. Um,
I don't know, And and Frankly,

67
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:44.240
I would it would be believable that
Fauci wouldn't tell Trump because obviously there was

68
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.279
other stuff that he wasn't telling him. But a lot of what we saw

69
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:53.839
from the COVID response could be Fauci
covering his own ass. Now let me

70
00:07:54.199 --> 00:08:01.519
but let's let's also process this logically. This isn't CIA deep cover crap.

71
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.600
This is an industry, right,
a group of individuals who share information.

72
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.519
So do you think at the very
least a strongly suspected rumor permeated the public

73
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.680
health community and those in the upper
echelon? Like if you're a Mandy Cohen

74
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:31.720
and you're talking to all of your
besties around the country and they're communicating with,

75
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.799
you know, Anthony Faucian and others, do you think that this particular

76
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:46.840
little piece of gossip wasn't part of
it? How do we have how do

77
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.679
we hold people accountable? Now,
I know what you're saying. It's because

78
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.639
I saw the responses. Well you're
probably not saying it, but I saw

79
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.600
people going, well, look,
oh that's what I'm you know what,

80
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.720
that's a very good point. That's
what I was thinking of when I read

81
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.320
when I saw that last dude's name
Yondo, because his name is yan Zoo.

82
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:16.440
I'm assuming that's Yondo's cousin or something. He doesn't look blue in this

83
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:26.039
picture. He's not blue and he's
alive. So why keep it a secret?

84
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.200
And did keeping it a secret change
things? I'm sure there's a lot

85
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.519
of ways that it was changed.
I'm sure also if you're in the if

86
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.080
you're in this sphere, you can
probably delineate a lot more reasons than my

87
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:52.279
non bat scientist's brain can think up. But I have to I have to

88
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.159
suspect that the you know, keeping
this a secret obviously is about saving face

89
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.360
with China, but also saving face
with others who do this time type of

90
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.559
research and who would allocate funding for
this type of research, because they looked

91
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.240
at it, and they looked at
it and said, if the American public

92
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:20.120
thought that one of our big research
facilities was careless to the point that a

93
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.000
deadly virus or pathogen of some sort
could so easily infect and then escape,

94
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.480
the level of confidence that they're going
to have in allocating funds which basically give

95
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.159
us all jobs probably would dry up
a little. When in reality, by

96
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.320
keeping it a secret and ignoring that
we ended up throwing a crap ton more

97
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.600
funds at it. Hell, the
funding levels for research to quote unquote you

98
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.000
get ahead of the next pandemic or
off the charts. And those who were

99
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.639
so irresponsible as to either be part
of what this appears to be or at

100
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:07.279
the released the cover up in not
sharing that information, they're the ones who

101
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:13.159
are benefiting from the largess. I
know that Fauci's retiring obviously, and others

102
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.399
are retiring, but they're retiring and
they're going to go on the speaking circuit

103
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.639
and they're gonna make a crap ton
more money. And then the next slate

104
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.240
of them, be it Mandy Cohen
or others, they're going to take up

105
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:35.879
the mantle. And they lied those
who knew anyway, And I suspect it

106
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.240
was more than just Fouci, and
like you know, China's version of Fauci.

107
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.120
So take that for what it's worth. But I want to see,

108
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.360
I want to see, I want
to see the House put a committee together

109
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:05.200
today. Today. This is right
here, man. The fact that you

110
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.960
have people obviously who were in these
whistleblower position shows you it was more than

111
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.200
Fauci, obviously, But also our
sources say they were terrified to tell us

112
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.480
what many had long suspected. But
they were as outraged as the American people

113
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.639
and felt a moral obligation to speak
out. Now, though, how long

114
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:31.240
did you know? How long?
How long before you you didn't feel outraged?

115
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.559
Back when everyone was, you know, locked in their houses. When

116
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:43.720
you watch China welding people into their
homes, when there was solid manipulation on

117
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:50.600
reporting of numbers by China, and
the World Health Organization was going along with

118
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.399
it and tweeting whatever the Chinese wanted, Where was your moral obligation then?

119
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:03.399
Where was your moral obligation when the
kids weren't in school, people weren't at

120
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.960
work. Mom and pop shops had
to close and the big boys got to

121
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:15.080
stay open. People couldn't go to
church. So I'm mad at everybody,

122
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:26.759
even yond especially Yon doing his boys. Now, what happened to him?

123
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.240
That's the other thing. I don't
see him interviewing these guys. They don't

124
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.399
look like they worked there anymore.
Ross, what do you where do you

125
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.200
think they probably would? They got
some like vacation homes or whatever, and

126
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.039
they're just they took them to a
farm up state. Really, they're scientists.

127
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.440
Do you think they like farming.
It's the fresh air, you know.

128
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.200
They got to get out of the
hive. Is that? Wait?

129
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.679
Is that the Is that the same
place they took the former Chinese president,

130
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.279
Remember when they removed them literally from
the parliament. He really looked like he

131
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.320
wanted to go. They're just all
prance it around in the field picking strawberries

132
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.039
or something. I don't know,
man, h So there you go,

133
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.960
all right, six twenty twenty one, hang on, thank you. Casey

134
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.600
is on nine four five WPTI in
the Triad and one oh six one FM

135
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.399
Talk in the Triangle. Well,
I mean, all you have to do

136
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.519
if you want to do that is
just look up this day in history and

137
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.799
then grab ones you like. Like
guy, let's see. So on this

138
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.399
day in history, the first roller
coaster opened, the first Father's Day was

139
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.240
celebrated, the New Deal was okay, we're not going to get excited about

140
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.799
that. A Diary of a Young
Girl by Anne Frank, published USSR sends

141
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.720
the first woman into space and Bob
Dylan recorded like a rolling stone. So

142
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.559
pick one of those, right,
ros has decided we need more holidays.

143
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.120
I'm just saying I'm still looking forward
to a three Day weekend I've been looking

144
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.360
forward to, and I'm saying,
you know, that'd be a great platform

145
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.720
for a politician, because, like
you said, they already give stuff away

146
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.399
anyway. Yeah, you're bribe and
you're bribing voters anyway. That's what you're

147
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.159
doing for me. In six extra
paid holidays a year, we'll do one

148
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.480
a month. We'll just make stuff
up. A Moon Day. It's the

149
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:24.480
day we landed on the moon.
Okay, you can't landed, you can't

150
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.720
make air quotes while promoting it as
a holiday. Make a called conspiracy Day.

151
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.879
I've already put it through committee.
We're good to go. Vote Hayes

152
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.759
for sheriff. Are you gonna just
put them all on Mondays or mix it

153
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.000
up? Oh yeah yeah Fridays or
Mondays? Yeah yeah, you got to

154
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.799
attach it to a weekend. Remember, because remember when Junteam would passing,

155
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.399
you had like people that hit like
Candice Owns. He was like Charlie Kirk,

156
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.879
oh yeah, oh you can't have
this holiday, and we're like,

157
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.240
shut up, free holiday. They're
trying to replace Father's Day. And I'm

158
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.679
like, no, it's even better, man, because I get presents on

159
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.600
Sunday, right, being amazing and
then I get a day off on Monday,

160
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.559
because prior to that, the presidents
you got on Sunday where whatever your

161
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.919
family got you, and then me
sending you prep links at night. Yeah,

162
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.600
now I won't be sending you any
prep links. That's a president in

163
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.639
and of itself, right there.
So so six just six more. I'm

164
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.600
running twelve more. I mean,
I'm vote for you. Yeah, twelve

165
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:32.919
more. Be great? Happy um
first roller coaster day? Uh? Anyway,

166
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.000
all right, so we got lots
of we had very sad news unfortunately

167
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.360
on the Meghan and Hairy front.
Oh yeah, we're gonna do that story.

168
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:49.759
So get your get your kerchief,
your napkin, get ready to cry.

169
00:16:53.679 --> 00:17:00.799
Keeping you connected. This is WPTI
in the Triad one O six one

170
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:18.559
FM talk in the Triangle. Well
look at that the juvenile content. It's

171
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:26.519
not my fault. I'm being forced
into this, all right, I'm being

172
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.880
forced into this. I don't want
to have to do this, but I

173
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:34.759
have to. I got an obligation
to give you the news. FBI officials

174
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:42.599
in Boston say they've arrested two more
insurrectionists. Oh boy, that word takes

175
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.240
on some meaning. Yes, two
more for their alleged roles in the breach

176
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:53.920
of the US capital on January six, twenty twenty one, being bringing the

177
00:17:53.960 --> 00:18:00.279
total number of people arrested in the
Boston FBI territory to twenty four. It

178
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.519
looks like it's a man and a
woman. Should we give there? You

179
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.960
know what? Yeah, FBI and
their press release here has the names.

180
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:18.079
So remember they're just accused of not
having permission to enter. I'm not sure

181
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:29.160
exactly what all the stuff is,
um, Julie Miller and Long Dong?

182
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.279
Is that is that from sixteen candles? All right? Long Tuck Dong?

183
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:45.559
It doesn't have a middle name,
Long Dong also known as Jimmy Huang Long

184
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:55.759
Dong Um? And which which one
is the alias? Well it's Aka is

185
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.160
your alias? Right? So Long
Dong is his name, but sometimes he

186
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:07.400
goes by Jimmy. Well you think
if you're if your name is Long Dong,

187
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.240
you would make sure you have permission
to enter anywhere you go, you

188
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:18.359
know what I'm saying, just in
this day and age, So yes,

189
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:25.440
Long Dong and Julie Miller, did
you get an invitation to the Miller Dong

190
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:33.440
wedding? Right? Could you put
the woman's name first? Right? That's

191
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.559
a brave woman too, right,
being a relationship with a guy. And

192
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:44.960
there's a possibility your name is gonna
be Julie Dong. She actually has a

193
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.559
KA. I guess they used this
as online screen names or something. I

194
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.759
don't know. Her aka is Hong
Hong No, which, of course her

195
00:19:52.799 --> 00:20:03.519
alias includes the word no. We
need to start a freelong Dong hashtag?

196
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:11.799
I think, huh. I'm sure
there'd be some very interesting bots that would

197
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.440
come looking at a tweet with a
freelong Dong hashtag. You know what kills

198
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.920
me as I'm looking at the actual
tweet from the FBI Boston office and it's

199
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.880
nobody makes any comment about the names
for the first twenty of them, and

200
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:33.480
it's just people going, yeah,
get the insurrectionists, Yeah, thank you

201
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.440
for continuing to arrest these terrorists,
right, and it's like, does anybody

202
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:48.119
see the names? Did you even
read it? So anyway, they are

203
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:59.880
accused of being part of the insurrection
right there? All right? So ut

204
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.759
four more arrest ross too. I
just scrolled down to their second tweet.

205
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.519
So they rested those two. And
then these guys thum Ting Wong we too

206
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:14.480
low Holy Fuk and Bang ding Oul
those guys are getting around. Yeah,

207
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.160
well, you know, after you
crash your plane, probably have a little

208
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:26.640
trouble holding down an airline pilot's job, right, turn to a life of

209
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:32.480
Really, you couldn't handle the plane, so we're gonna put you in a

210
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:40.319
contagious disease lab. It's the natural
progression of things. Except in January twenty

211
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:47.319
twenty one free trip to DC you
can join Long Dong and Hong No,

212
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:55.960
also known as Julie. Oh.
Everything's insane, just the way that we

213
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.799
like it, all right. I
promised you sad stuff. It's sad stuff

214
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:08.000
you're gonna get. Apparently Spotify has
announced that they will not be renewing the

215
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:15.160
Meghan Marco Prince Harry podcast. For
a second, I was kind of like

216
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.039
thinking, you're gonna see Joe Rogan
now because he makes some money. He

217
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.759
makes money for them apparently, and
I don't know. We're in We're kind

218
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.839
of in this business obviously. Podcast. Of course, we're the number one

219
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.240
podcast provider. I heart radio.
Thank you, So tell me if this

220
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:44.279
makes sense to you. Apparently Spotify
had paid the couple twenty million dollars a

221
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:56.160
year to produce a podcast, but
then they didn't. Instead, later on

222
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:06.319
in the deal, producing twelve short
inner view programs called Archetype, which um,

223
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:12.799
nobody wanted to listen to. The
couple then demanded additional money for a

224
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:19.279
renewal of contract, at which point
what what So they give him twenty million,

225
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.240
Yeah, twenty million to do podcast. You don't have to do one

226
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:30.480
a week. They had to do
I had to do like thirty episodes or

227
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.200
something. And then they're like,
nah, anna do that. We're gonna

228
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.160
take the money. And then they're
like, oh, we need to ren

229
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:41.640
renegotiate or contract. Yeah, it
just wasn't enough money to not do stuff.

230
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.519
They did do the twelve interview things, which mostly consisted of Megan h

231
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:56.480
quote interviewing powerful women here we go, um yeah, interviewing women to talk

232
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.880
about the struggles they faced to break
through in their particular industry. Uh.

233
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.480
That included Serena Williams How how say? How are men holding Serena Williams down?

234
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:18.240
Serena Williams is and and her sister
are are the example of when people

235
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.640
go, you know, men hate
all women's sports, they'll never be able

236
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:29.160
to get ahead, pointing out that
in some sports it is absolutely the women

237
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.599
that are arguably more high profile.
Who do you think who do you think

238
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:38.039
was more high profile during the run
of The Williams Sisters than on the men's

239
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.759
side. Don't get me wrong,
there's a couple of guys that ended up

240
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:47.519
winning a bunch of bunch of majors, but they simply didn't get the coverage

241
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.200
and they sure as hell didn't get
all the endorsement money like the Williams Sisters

242
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:52.279
did, and they earned it by
the way. I believe they earned every

243
00:24:52.319 --> 00:25:00.960
bit of it. Also interviewed Mariah
Carey. What was Maria I carry struggle

244
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:08.559
like where to store her money?
Right? Is she like Pablo Escobar and

245
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.519
like Narcos where he's having to like
figure out which hillside to bury barrels of

246
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:18.519
cash? I mean, because that's
basically where she was at. Mindy Kalin

247
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:25.319
has like nine production deals and one
of them's that's the Velma thing, which

248
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:32.839
is just unwatchable. And Paris Hilton. She struggled to get the lighting right

249
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.200
in her sex tape. But other
than that, they gave that. They

250
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.920
gave that idiot a show, didn't
they where she and it was a Lionel

251
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.839
Richie's daughter ran around and just acted
obnoxious. That was a thing, dude.

252
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.440
That show was super popular. It
was incredibly popular, and I couldn't.

253
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.599
I watched like ten minutes of it
one time, and I'm like,

254
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.559
they're not gonna have any That's what
I actually said, Like, wait,

255
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.599
they're not even gonna have any clips
from her tape where she's all green,

256
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.880
crazy thing about Paris Hilton. When
when you realize that that voice she does

257
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.319
was completely fake? Is it I
haven't studied the woman enough to know sort

258
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.640
of them who's the but I did
study or anyway, what who's the Is

259
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.160
it? Which Holmes? Is it
the one that was unlike Forbes and the

260
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.319
the she had like the theorinose thing. Yeah, that chicken just went to

261
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.119
jail for ten years. Yeah.
It was the same thing where Elizabeth Elizabeth

262
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.559
Holmes like she would like deepen her
voice. Yeah, it sound like more

263
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:29.640
commanding and more in charge. Yeah, Paris Hilton would do the opposite where

264
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.200
she would bring her voice up.
It sounds really dumb and did see And

265
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.599
then when you actually hear her talk
this happened and when you so, her

266
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:42.119
voice is actually much deeper than usual
than you would expect. Wait, is

267
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:48.119
it Paris or Peter, I mean
what I mean, I know it's not

268
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:56.079
because there's evidence but that she wasn't
talking, but you know, just saying

269
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:03.720
so. So apparently they did these
these interviews and it didn't meet what they

270
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.920
were actually supposed to do and Prince
Harry wasn't on them. So yeah,

271
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.680
they're not going to renew their twenty
million dollars year contract for more money.

272
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.160
Ah, he's greedy radio exacts man, expecting you to make money for him

273
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.519
and produce It's just crazy, all
right, six forty five here on the

274
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.640
CaCO Day Radio program. I'm assuming
the memo went out and now all of

275
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.880
the Moonbat journalists have to write these
because we had an example yesterday from WBTV,

276
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.880
which was sourced off an AP article
about you know, them trying to

277
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.240
get to the bottom of what exactly
he's up with Bud Light's finances. Right

278
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.599
now, just all of a sudden
in the Washington Post came out and did

279
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:51.720
a piece yesterday, and it's just
weird that these these things travel in packs

280
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:56.119
and all arrive at the same wrong
station. So we will get to that

281
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:03.440
and much more coming up here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. This is

282
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.559
one oh six one FM Talk in
the Triangle and News Talk ninety four five

283
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:23.000
WPTI in the Triad. Now,
seriously, I want to see U.

284
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.240
I want to see John Stewart running
around screaming I told you so the entire

285
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.920
rest of the day. You remember
that, man, they took him down.

286
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.079
Man, he's on Colbert talking about
the Wuhan Lab. So a new

287
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:42.000
report out from Matt Taiebi, Michael
Schellenberger and somebody Gutentag now has the government

288
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:51.759
sources confirming the three initial cases of
COVID were three scientists who worked at the

289
00:28:51.839 --> 00:29:00.839
Wuhan Lab, which means they knew
this and if you said it, you

290
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.359
literally would be locked out. You
could have your social media lockdown. You

291
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:08.119
were called all sorts of names,
conspiracy theorists, all the rest. Right,

292
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:14.200
You're a conspiracy theorist who's run around
eating horse meads or whatever, when

293
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.759
in reality, a lot of people
just wanted the truth, man, and

294
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.039
the truth was China was manipulating this
all the way, and those who had

295
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:29.319
a lot to lose should news like
that have come out wanted to do everything

296
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.759
in their power to make sure that
you didn't know that there's a financial motive

297
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.279
here. And the financial motive is
if it looks like these research labs,

298
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:48.440
which we also put money into,
were negligent to the point of causing a

299
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.680
worldwide pandemic, people aren't going to
have a lot of appetite for that.

300
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.599
Are going to have a lot of
appetite for shoving money in that direction.

301
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:02.160
Plus those who were part of this
and may or may not have been under

302
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:07.680
you know, undertaking gain of function
research. You don't want that level of

303
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.079
scrutiny there after you've gone on the
record saying you weren't doing that, because

304
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.599
you'll be shown to be a liar. So what did John Stewart say?

305
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.279
And literally this is him talking to
the dude who used to work for him.

306
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.160
So he's on with Stephen Colbert.
And listen to how uncomfortable Stephen Colbert,

307
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.400
who is just a giant hack who
will go along with whatever he's fed

308
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.400
as long as it's, you know, the party line, reacting to John

309
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.839
Stewart attempting to do critically. Now, John Stewart's a moonbat, let's just

310
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:47.000
be abundantly clear. However, he
also has demonstrated the ability to do independent

311
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.640
thinking. I think John Stewart,
you got to think of with the Overton

312
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:55.240
window, right, John Stewart now
like he used to be considered a moonbat.

313
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.359
Now I think he'd be considered more
moderate. It's the Elon must thing.

314
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:02.079
He seems like more sensible then some
of the others, like like a

315
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.519
cold beer right where he's sitting there
and he's like that that thing that Elon

316
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.319
tweeted back in the day that everyone
got freaked out about. Where He's like,

317
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.400
I'm here, I haven't moved,
right, it's the rest he yell

318
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.079
that've moved you guys moved away from
me, and now you're mad about it.

319
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.680
So here is John Stewart from that
interview. Chance that is trated the

320
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.680
lab is an investigation? A chance? Well, I want Eppence, I'd

321
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:26.279
love to hear Arizon novel respiratory coronavirus
overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we

322
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.440
do? Oh? You know who? We could ask the Wuhan novel Respiratory

323
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.839
coronavirus lab. The disease is the
same name as the lab. That's just

324
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.960
that's just a little too weird,
don't you think? And then I have

325
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.359
those signist they're like, how did
this? So wait a minute, you

326
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.039
work at the Wuhan Respiratory coronavirus lab. How did this happen? And they're

327
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:52.039
like a tangling kissed the turtle and
he's like, non, look at the

328
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.079
name, len Can I let me
see a business card, Show me a

329
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.640
business card. Oh, I work
at the coronavirus lab in wool Hand.

330
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:05.599
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loosing. Woohand how did that happen? Maybe

331
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:12.880
a bat flew into the kilowaka of
a turkey and maybe sneezed into my key,

332
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:20.279
and now we all have corona.
Wait a second, alright, oh

333
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.359
my god, Oh my god,
here's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near

334
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.200
Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you
think happen? Like, Oh, I

335
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.039
don't know. Maybe a steam shovel, maybe with a cocoa bean, or

336
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:37.400
it's the chocolate factory. Maybe that's
it exactly. And Colbert, they look

337
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.480
at Colbert's Yeah, he's like,
shut up, shut up, stop talking,

338
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.720
because you know his producers are talking
in the right and you can't shut

339
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.480
up John Stewart because he would have
no career if it wasn't for John Stewart.

340
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.119
But he's making sense, right.
Bill Maher is the same way now

341
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:54.200
people are like, remember back in
the day, Bill Maher was like,

342
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.559
oh, he's a lunatic, he's
a moon bat. Now you're like,

343
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.480
you know, Bill Maher's he's making
some sense because he's just it's just common

344
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.359
sense stuff, because I think there's
elements within the ideology that even they're just

345
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.240
there. Now we're not we're not
gonna do this. I remember Bill Marry.

346
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.599
The thing he used to get the
biggest grief about initially was the um

347
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:21.240
when there was this big tamping down
where you couldn't literally say no, that

348
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:25.279
person is a radical Islamic terrorist.
Remember you couldn't use right. Obama's like,

349
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:29.119
we won't use that, we won't
use that language, and and Mars

350
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:34.079
like some of them are also there's
there's fundamental Christian terrorists. We've seen those

351
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.799
before, and we've seen people who
have no religion that they're terrorists. Right.

352
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.000
And he was sitting there saying this
is so dumb, and um,

353
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.319
who was it he got into an
argument with it was um Ben Affleck.

354
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.880
Remember Ben Affleck was on the show
and he said radical Islamic terrorists and Affleck

355
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.279
was like, you can't say that. Yeah, they've gone so far left

356
00:33:54.279 --> 00:34:02.079
and now they see moderate. Ah, thank goodness, it's Friday, ahead

357
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.559
of a three day weekend and Father's
Day. All right, we got lots

358
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.760
again to Pete counter will join us
coming up eight oh five. Oh we

359
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:16.440
got we got cursed mummies on the
show too, So stick around. It's

360
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:54.880
all coming up. Oh man,
what a great little little piece here I'm

361
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:04.760
staring at from The New Republic entitled
the Supreme Court is corrupt but only because

362
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:10.639
of its conservative nature subheadline, The
Supreme Court's corruption is tied directly to its

363
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:17.119
conservatism. Liberals would never be corrupt
like these right wing justices who don't believe

364
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:24.119
in the law or any particular judicial
philosophy, no matter what the justices tell

365
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:31.519
us or themselves. Really, you
know what, judge, hold on,

366
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:34.679
let me just let me just pull
this up. I was gonna get to

367
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:39.320
this yesterday and then I even forgot
to put it in the stack. Uh

368
00:35:40.599 --> 00:36:00.039
yeah, sorry, judge, there
we go. So um a judge,

369
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:09.480
an activist judge, a US district
Court judge by the name of Marcia Peckman.

370
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:16.480
Basically she was here's what the deal
was. So Seattle, believe it

371
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.320
or not, has a little problem
with property crimes. You may have heard

372
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:29.760
about some of this, and they
specifically, we're trying to address how affirmative

373
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:34.840
defenses, which affirmative defenses would be
legal for people who were committing vandalism,

374
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:42.719
like with graffiti or basically defacing private
property, okay, And so they tweaked

375
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:47.599
the law a little to make it
abundantly clear that unless you have expressed permission,

376
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.440
you can't graffiti the side of the
walgreens. Okay. So this is

377
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:58.960
just one part of one element of
what they were doing. So what did

378
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:05.960
this judge do? The judge,
while considering, decided to institute an injunction

379
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:14.199
requiring the city of Seattle to not
pursue property damage or vandalism charges under seven

380
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:21.559
hundred and fifty dollars, which is
the threshold for the second tier of prosecutable

381
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:27.199
property crimes. So five thousands for
the top tier, and if it's over

382
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.920
five and then seven fifty to five
thousand is the second tier. So anything

383
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:37.199
under that, which was the third
tier, was it, you know,

384
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.000
it was its own thing. It
was seven hundred and fifty dollars or under

385
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:44.719
or seven hundred, forty nine or
undred. She decided nobody should be prosecuted.

386
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.920
For under seven hundred fifty dollars.
Show she literally made it so the

387
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:52.280
city of Seattle's law was unenforceable.
So as a result, they didn't have

388
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.679
they didn't have a law on the
book. They still don't. Does that

389
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.119
sound like somebody who has any respect
for the law in any way, shape

390
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.679
or form, or does that sound
like somebody who was an activist who's decided,

391
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:09.559
you know what, I don't.
I don't. I don't think they

392
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:15.559
should be prosecuting people for five hundred
dollars in damage. Ross If I came

393
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.960
over to your house and vandalized the
outside of it to the tune of five

394
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:23.639
hundred dollars, you would want well, I mean, I would never do

395
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:27.840
that, but if somebody did that, you would want them prosecute it because

396
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.559
five hundred dollars is five hundred dollars, right, that is correct? Yes,

397
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:36.840
this is and I'm sure that this
judge. Do you think if somebody

398
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:40.599
went and vandalized her property and it
was seven hundred dollars or the damage like

399
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:45.360
on her garage, they wrote something
horrible, do you think she she wouldn't

400
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.639
want maybe, and then she would
claim some sort of virtuous victory there,

401
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.159
But she literally barred the city of
Seattle from being able to do it.

402
00:38:55.320 --> 00:39:00.840
And I'm sure there's a few of
these Seattle Moonbat Council people were probably pretty

403
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:06.239
excited about it. And it's and
for those of you going will look,

404
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:10.960
she's she's saying that this law,
she is she is delineating a single portion

405
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.639
of the law, and she suspended
the totality of it for under a for

406
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.000
what wasn't even the argumentative point,
or it wasn't even the argument, right,

407
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.840
she just decided that as part of
this injunction she was going to have

408
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:28.280
this cutoff, which she didn't have
to do. She just did it.

409
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.559
So good news. If you want
to commit you know, property crimes in

410
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.000
uh In and around the Seattle area, just you know, don't be too

411
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:44.800
good at it. You'll be fine. So yeah, when I read pieces

412
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.480
like this ole, an inherent problem
is right wing justices don't believe in the

413
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:53.280
law. No. The difference is
they do believe in the word of the

414
00:39:53.400 --> 00:40:00.400
law and in the in the strict
in the strictest sense. That's with separates

415
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.199
them. Right. One one is
like, you know, we read it,

416
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.280
but the other one is it's a
living document, living breathing document.

417
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.280
Yes, this is the great debate, and I'm going to interpret it due

418
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:14.360
to the way I feel, or
or more if you want to be less

419
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:19.280
argumentative about it, you're going to
interpret it with modern standards rather than attempting

420
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.800
to interpret the intent of the authors. This came to play with the Heller

421
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:28.360
decision. Right, So it was
what does a well regulated militia mean?

422
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.760
Well, if you go online,
a moonbat would tell you that means that

423
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.440
there is a lot of government,
a lot of control, and you've got

424
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.960
to be part of an official you
know, the militia like the National Guard,

425
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:45.400
they'll go when in reality, were
well regulated doesn't mean regulations. I

426
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.880
know that they love those. It
means literally to be well equipped, and

427
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:54.360
the militia is and it isn't was
the people, which is why the very

428
00:40:54.440 --> 00:41:05.880
next line says the people shall not
be infringed. This is not rocket science,

429
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.679
but that is the divide. And
so the other judicial philosophy is this

430
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.719
needs to be adapted to today's standards, which is a slippery slope of mile

431
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:22.000
wide, but arguably is a less
specific respect for the law that is written.

432
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:30.239
But they're organized. Man. We
told you yesterday about ap and WBTV

433
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.760
ran an article where they're like,
uh, you know, some people think

434
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:40.159
that bud Light's financial issues maybe connected
to their partnership with Dylan mulvaney, but

435
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.559
we don't know. We had no
way of finding out. And then,

436
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:47.920
like clockwork, all the other moon
bad organizations and outlets decided to do their

437
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:55.840
stuff. Here's Washington Post. Bud
Light sales fall in US as Mexico's MODELO

438
00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:06.440
gains popularity. Bud Light has been
targeted by a recent boycott, but consumers

439
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:12.159
might just be moving away from the
brand amid stagnation for domestic beer in general.

440
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:19.119
What a kuiki in right, man? How those two things just happen

441
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.559
to coincide all of a sudden right
here, and you know, one little

442
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:29.360
span of time. Bud Light has
been targeted by a recent boycott, but

443
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:34.800
consumers might be moving away from the
brand anyway, amid stagnation for domestic beer

444
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:45.320
in general. Absolute lunatics, man, But that's what you do when you

445
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.000
don't have an argument anymore. You
attempt to muddy the waters as much as

446
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.719
possible so that people can fall back
on that stuff. Because what you're doing

447
00:42:52.840 --> 00:43:00.559
is you're not just informing, you're
specifically, you're carrying out the the distribution

448
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:07.920
of the messaging. So now if
I'm somebody who you know, I love

449
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:10.039
some Dylan mulvaney and I want to
defend this, I can go, well,

450
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:14.199
look, I read in the Washington
Post that there's a larger trend of

451
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:16.320
people just not drinking as much domestic
beer, which, by the way,

452
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:25.280
did it done? And it was
a very trackable slope and then all of

453
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:30.519
a sudden, it's a double black
diamond ski run. Okay, right,

454
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:34.320
it was a bunny hill. Just
you know, I visualize it. It

455
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:37.880
was a bunny hill with one of
those little uh those little seat lifts.

456
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:42.239
Right, the kids are coming down
in a little snowplow and making ski and

457
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:47.679
references here, but you get it. And now it's like, I'm gonna

458
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:53.719
die if I go down that as
far as the steepness of the graph,

459
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.519
so but it allows you to sit
there and argue that because you can't cut,

460
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:02.000
there's no way, there's no way
to argue that that is not the

461
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.840
single largest impact, especially how quickly
you saw it. So you have to

462
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.480
have something, and it's easy to
go. Well, I read in the

463
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:15.519
Washington Post, which is then supposed
to you know that will immediately infer some

464
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:23.039
sort of superior information informing your answer, when in reality, Washington Post is

465
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:29.280
spinning as hard as they can and
it's an idiotic take that doesn't hold up

466
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:35.079
even under the most minute scrutiny.
You can be mad that the boycott has

467
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:40.960
been somewhat successful. I would argue
very successful. Actually, you can argue

468
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:47.559
that, but that's also shows your
failure to understand how it's entered the It's

469
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:57.559
entered the the popular I don't know
how to describe this. It's entered the

470
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:01.679
culture right where pe people will literally
make memes, which is not unusual.

471
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.679
However, it transfers over to people
who really aren't even that political, because

472
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.199
it's a bunch of dudes grabbing beers
after work in a certain age bracket,

473
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:16.280
who go, oh, Bob,
you ordered to bud Light? Which batchor

474
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:20.960
you gotta use Bob? And you
can think that's as defensive as all get

475
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:27.840
out, but the reality is that's
what's happening on the ground. And then

476
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.039
Bob doesn't order bud Lights anymore because
he doesn't want to take grief from his

477
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.079
boys. You know what I'm saying. I mean, bud Light was really

478
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.039
successful. Right, because of the
marketing and because of the tradition, the

479
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:38.199
actual product can be duplicated. And
honestly, it wasn't that great, right,

480
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:42.360
there's a better alternative, Yes,
yep, But you're not buying it

481
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.039
for that. You're buying it because
it's easy. Right. It's because it's

482
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:46.480
what you do, right. You
know what it costs. You know where

483
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:50.079
the eighteen pack is on the end
cap. You know that you're having a

484
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.199
grill or barbecue, your friends are
coming over, they'll drink bud Light whatever.

485
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.599
There's a reason that the spots,
the commercials they play right during the

486
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:59.519
Super Bowl stuff, or that they
pay for bud Light costs so much because

487
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.320
they need that. Right. It's
the image they're paying for that's selling the

488
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:07.440
product. And you squandered it all
gone or or or you're ready ross,

489
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:13.960
You're ready. Just a general trend
of consumers moving away from the brand and

490
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:17.559
stagnation for domestic beer in general.
Is that how you read it? I

491
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.960
mean, I mean, I'm an
uneducated man, So what do I know

492
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:25.000
it? Look at that? Sure, Okay, it was so stumb It's

493
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:30.079
in the Washington Post. So but
at least you're not a cowboy hat wearing,

494
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:38.800
redneck racist dude. I'm I'm gonna
do you know who Molly McGhee is.

495
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:44.000
She's a novelist and professor, college
professor and all that. So she's

496
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.000
she decided to unload on her heritage. I think she's from coal Country,

497
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:52.480
Tennessee kind of area, and you
could tell this woman is really embarrassed by

498
00:46:52.480 --> 00:47:00.480
it. So she starts putting out
this insane series of tweets yesterday and a

499
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:04.679
couple of people respond. I think
they did a very good job of pointing

500
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.679
to something that I think is um. I think when you hear it,

501
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:12.079
you're gonna know somebody like this.
So I want to get into that story

502
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:15.199
coming up here. In just a
few minutes, we had Connor McGregor in

503
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.599
the news, and how many of
you have Canadian maple syrup. You might

504
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:24.199
be sitting on a gold mine.
Hang on for that. Smart Talk all

505
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:30.360
day five WPTI in the Triad and
one oh six one FM Talk in the

506
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:51.519
Triangle. All right, good morning, seven twenty five. Now, well

507
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:53.679
let me just uh, let me
just click on this little story here,

508
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:06.039
uh, San Francisco Chronicle. We'll
get into more of this too. The

509
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:09.119
San Francisco Chronicle with a new piece
out, stop hating on bicyclists and share

510
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:15.079
the road the story. The story
goes on to say, ultimately, hate

511
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:21.519
a bicyclist comes from the same place
as racism, sexism, homophobia, and

512
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:28.119
transphobia, the desire to cling to
the status quo power arrangements that favor some

513
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:37.440
over others. What are you talking
about. So if somebody gets annoyed at

514
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.360
the behavior of a bicyclist, and
I'm not here to start the great bike

515
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.039
car you know, back and forth. There's people who ride bikes that are

516
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:47.559
total a holes and think they are
the only ones on the road, and

517
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:52.039
there's people that are in cars.
The difference is some roads are more appropriate

518
00:48:52.119 --> 00:49:00.599
for ones over others, and cars
don't get to act like pedestrian sometimes and

519
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:05.199
cars the other times. And I
know that that is one of the criticisms

520
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:09.119
I've seen leveled at bicyclists or then
and then they'll say, well, you

521
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.079
know, for the road, and
then the bicycles say, well, I

522
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:15.960
pay taxes too, which is absolutely
true, and I'm sure you probably drive

523
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.000
a car on that road too,
So actually, now it's an extra thing

524
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:24.079
which is available to others. That
being said, if somebody has that beef

525
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:30.159
because they live on what's the There's
a road over by Jordan Lake. I

526
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:35.039
was on one time and apparently it
is a hot spot for bicycle action,

527
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:38.800
and I drove. It's rather curvy
roads. The one that cuts up through

528
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:43.199
the dam and then you can make
your way up to um not through the

529
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:49.760
dam, but one of this the
little side side areas you can make your

530
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.559
way up to Chapel Hill, Carboro
that way. I should I should have

531
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:55.440
looked up the road. But the
point is I remember driving that one time

532
00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.840
because I went to there was a
friend just got it. She had a

533
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:00.760
spread out there and is having like
a barbecue with a bunch of people.

534
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:07.519
And I decided from there to go
meet some folks up by Carborough. And

535
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:12.639
I'm driving on this road and every
time I go around the curve there is

536
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.280
a three wide cyclist pack, you
know, with all the gear and all

537
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:19.400
the bikes. So it must be
a fun road. And if I was

538
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.559
into cycling, it looks like the
kind of road I'd want to be on,

539
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:28.280
and it was. It really really, it struck me as incredibly unsafe,

540
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.039
even though I was not even I
was not even doing the speed limit,

541
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.440
and I'm like, man, I
can't believe people don't get killed on

542
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:38.559
this road. This is crazy.
Or if you're on the Blue Ridge Parkway,

543
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:43.280
I've seen this stuff and it's like, I don't want to I don't

544
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.679
want to run over and hit somebody
on the road, let alone slam into

545
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:49.559
a car, or as somebody on
a bicycle. There's a whole family drive

546
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:51.639
in Lincoln Home. There'd be in
it, like five of them, mom,

547
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:53.719
dad and three kids in the center
of the road on their bicycles.

548
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:59.679
And you're going like like, I
don't want to murder you. Why are

549
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:06.920
you literally hitler? So yeah,
can't people have that discussion about also people

550
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:12.920
driving ninety in a fifty or out
of forty five? And how on Safe

551
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:17.480
one oh six one FM Talk and
ninety four five w PTI two stations driving

552
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:22.519
the best in talk. This is
case O Day and Carolina's Morning News.

553
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.079
Well that's Sarah. I figured this
would go. So now people do why

554
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:36.000
you attack a bicyclist? Pay taxes
too? I am attacking people unnecessarily putting

555
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:42.880
themselves in harm's way, right,
And it's it's and it comes down to

556
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:46.760
this, let me remove bicycles from
the equation. I'm mostly attacking the stupidity

557
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:52.360
of the article thinks that people may
find themselves annoyed by others on the road,

558
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:57.760
be a bicyclist or others are coming
from a place of transphobia or whatever

559
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.360
stupid subheadline they had in there,
And I'm going to remove bicycles from the

560
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:08.800
equation. All right. So let's
say you're wanting to make a left hand

561
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:19.000
turn right across a highway and the
highway speeds fifty five and you look and

562
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.760
you're a You're in a standard sedan
style vehicle, and then coming the other

563
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:29.880
way of the lane you're gonna have
to turn across is a giant dump truck.

564
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:35.280
Okay, and you can clearly tell
that that driver is not interested in

565
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:40.119
doing just fifty five, and the
thing's moving fast feasibly. You do have

566
00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:43.840
the legal right of way, you
know what I'm saying, Like it's your

567
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.039
but because you're waiting for the light
to turn, and you see it,

568
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:52.079
and even though legally that driver should
have to stop allowing you then to make

569
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:57.719
your left hand turn, you see
that they're not slowing, and you still

570
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:02.400
pull in front of them because technically
you're in the right. That's it's an

571
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:06.519
extreme example, but I see people
doing this crap all the time where they're

572
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:07.760
getting little fender betters and like,
well, I was in the I was

573
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:14.360
in the right, you were,
But the person who just lost to is

574
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:20.679
a dump truck doing sixty five.
So when you're gonna have to, you

575
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.679
know, type that out on your
computer, you now need to speak because

576
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:30.079
you broke all of the bones in
your back. Are you still feeling like

577
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:35.159
you won? And I had this
conversation with a friend of mine who is

578
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.719
who is into bicycally and by the
way, I get it, I get

579
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:43.320
it up. People love getting out
on bikes. Um one of the funniest

580
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:46.360
things that I got to do in
growing up out West, and I wish

581
00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:51.480
there was more opportunity for it around
here. Is as wasn't on the roads.

582
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:55.320
It was mountain bikes, the ski
areas. They some of them actually

583
00:53:55.360 --> 00:54:00.000
adapted bike mountain bike trails to their
to their he runs, which is kind

584
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.840
of perfect. And then they would
have attachments where you could put bikes on

585
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:09.519
chairlifts and gondolas, primarily gondolas,
and then they would do that and I

586
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:14.079
thought that was fun as hell,
some people like to do the road thing.

587
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:17.840
And I understand the appeal of a
curvy road man, especially if you're

588
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:22.320
you know, if you're a car
guy you're zipping around some of the beautiful

589
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.480
mountain roads that we have, or
you're a motorcyclist you're going on there.

590
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:32.199
But the reality is some things create
safety conditions where people adapt, and these

591
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:37.599
are all legitimate conversations to have.
Case in point, I'm so, I'm

592
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:39.320
talking to a friend of mine who
does like to do the bicycling stuff.

593
00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:44.639
He lives in North North Raleigh,
got some places he goes around there,

594
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:46.840
and I was telling him. I
said, what I don't understand, though,

595
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:51.079
is as I understand the rules,
you guys are supposed to ride single

596
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:52.559
file, and if I come around
a corner and I see you guys five

597
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:58.760
wide, I feel like there's a
very dangerous situation. And he goes,

598
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:01.719
well, the reason you may see
that is because people are wanting to more

599
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:07.840
be more visible to drivers, because
when you're single file, maybe they don't

600
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.800
see you as quickly as when you're
three wide on the road. And I'm

601
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:15.480
like, that sounds like horrible logic, Like if you feel an activity is

602
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:22.440
so dangerous under normal conditions that you
need to break the law to accomplish it

603
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:28.519
to feel safe. That's it sounds
like something's broken there. So I'm not

604
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:31.039
I'm not turning this into a big
bike versus car discussion. I'm just pointing

605
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:37.039
out that instead of being able to
have adult discussions like that, now it's

606
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:42.320
like, ah, you're just a
big old racist. What no, no

607
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:47.199
offense. But I feel like if
you, as a racist, wanted to

608
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:52.679
target a group for your hatred,
it wouldn't be members of one of the

609
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:58.920
whitest sports I've ever seen, you
know what I mean. Ross. Let's

610
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:02.400
say you're a big old racist,
all right, big old, big old

611
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:08.000
racist moral superiority, superiority of race, and that's your thing, and you

612
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:13.559
got to pick a sport to hate
on, and the people take Is it

613
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:22.719
going to be bicycling? Is he? Is it gonna be beach volleyball?

614
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:29.199
I'd probably go water polo? Is
it's gonna be water polo? Really?

615
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:39.639
And what about regular polo? About
regular polo? No? In case either

616
00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:44.679
that's an old Bill Burbitt it is, yeah, yeah, yeah, what

617
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:45.960
does he tell you? What he
was talking about? All of these all

618
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:51.000
of the you always have the same
sports movie right where a bunch of minority

619
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:54.199
athletes just want to take part and
society wouldn't have it. And there's always

620
00:56:54.199 --> 00:57:00.599
some you know, banker who's screaming
racial craft ridden that coach get out of

621
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.159
the pool right in the pool.
Yeah, he's like, where is it

622
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.599
end? Put the battle down?
They're playing ping pong, you know,

623
00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:12.559
like it's the same movie over and
over and over again. Yeah, yeah

624
00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:15.599
it is. That's why it's just
so stupid. Oh yeah, you have

625
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:22.440
big fat racist and you decided to
go all in on cycling. Good good

626
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:28.639
choice, Good choice there, Jethro. Speaking of that, um, let

627
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.360
me ask a question. How many
of you listening to the show right now

628
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:40.400
are driving a truck. How many
of you who are driving a truck,

629
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:45.800
who are listening to the show right
now, have yourselves a cowboy hat on

630
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:54.400
a cowboy hat. Well, that's
not sitting well with Molly McGee, novelist

631
00:57:54.480 --> 00:58:00.519
and college professor up in New York, who went off on a tangent?

632
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:10.119
Went off on a tangent? Would
you can tell is deeply rooted in her

633
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:15.840
own experience growing up and one of
self loathing. And I think we've all

634
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:19.559
met people like this, especially those
of us who who grew up in a

635
00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:24.320
small town or even in a rough
area of a bigger city. She says,

636
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:27.679
I grew up in the rules South, So I know that men are

637
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.599
out here driving massive trucks wearing cowboy
has is not just when I say truck

638
00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:34.239
driving, I don't just mean like
eighteen wheelers, but I mean big old

639
00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:39.519
trucks. I know they're driving massive
trucks wearing cowboy hats, talking about working

640
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:44.639
class values. Give me a break, dude, Just call yourself a white

641
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:51.599
supremacist and move on. Really,
so, anyone driving so one the entire

642
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:57.000
state of Wyoming's white supremacists, okay, but also where I grew up.

643
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:00.559
But also all of you listening who
were driving around Rocky County or Johnston County

644
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:05.840
this morning, or Randolf or wherever
it is, right, you're just going

645
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:08.480
from point A to point B.
You live out in the country, and

646
00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:13.519
you happen to have a pick them
up truck and cowboy hat, just know

647
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:16.400
you're a white supremacist. According to
Molly McGhee, well, there's a lot

648
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:22.880
more going on with this woman,
as one person labeled her, and I

649
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:27.679
think it's very accurate. Molly McGhee
is what some would refer to as a

650
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:34.039
I'm better than this place girl,
and I and any of it. I

651
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:37.480
think we've all seen it. And
again, if you grow up rule,

652
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:42.119
you grow up poor, you grow
up in a high crime area, any

653
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:46.119
of the rest there are there are
things that you can look at and go,

654
00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:49.679
man, I wish it wasn't this
way, but there are those who

655
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:53.840
take it to the next level.
And it is this misplaced internal hatred.

656
00:59:54.840 --> 01:00:00.719
Right, diame a dozen as there's
a good little thread on this. So

657
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:05.320
she grew up in Tennessee, she
was poor, she's from the South,

658
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.199
and now she's up in New York
and she's in that you know, that

659
01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:15.360
that old money crowd because she's she's
an author and she's a professor. But

660
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:19.440
she's never going to be one of
them because she never was old money and

661
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:22.559
it chaps her butt. But the
value that her friends, if they really

662
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:30.119
are her friends, find in this
woman is her ability to affirm all of

663
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:36.519
their worst thoughts that they have about
people who do live there. Right,

664
01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:39.920
So here's a girl. Here's a
girl grew up in Tennessee at our you

665
01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:44.559
know, here at our supper club, and she's telling us that, yeah,

666
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:49.119
you guys are right, you you
silverspoon New York limousine liberals, you

667
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:52.840
are right. Everyone who lives down
south or as a truck bunch of racist

668
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:58.199
and people probably gravitate towards her because
of it, and so she's got to

669
01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:02.400
ramp it up. And then she's
internally grow bitter because her parents probably worked

670
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:07.320
a very traditional job. They weren't
able to send her to boarding school,

671
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:12.360
they weren't able to pay for her
college, so maybe she's got loans and

672
01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.840
she resents the fact that she's got
to deal with that, and then it

673
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:21.480
further hardens her hatred of where she
grew up, and that rage just builds

674
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:25.519
and builds and builds. She's probably
not altogether even that much more intelligent than

675
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:29.679
some of the people that she decides
to leave behind. And then when she

676
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:34.559
does go home to visit, she
does so and for a very limited time

677
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.280
and probably corrects everybody and explains to
them why they're not as good as all

678
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:43.519
of her friends up in New York
City. Are you identifying people you grew

679
01:01:43.559 --> 01:01:49.840
up with that this might fit because
I've seen these folks. I may have

680
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:52.239
left where I grew up, but
man, I love every bit of going

681
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:53.360
back there, and I wouldn't change
a thing. In fact, I get

682
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:59.559
angry when I go back and realize
moonbats have moved in and started trying to

683
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:06.159
change things there. But the reality
is her friends, if she wasn't there,

684
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:13.039
you know, backing up their own
bias, perceived bias against people who

685
01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:16.039
grow up and you know, put
a priority on hard work and family and

686
01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:21.880
all the rest, and aren't are
content to do that. They can't fathom

687
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:24.679
that, and so they just assume
they're lesser than And here she is,

688
01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:30.719
somebody who came from there, pulled
herself out, and she is going to

689
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:37.199
validate all of your insanity. What
an angry, bitter way to live.

690
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:43.880
Man. And that's that chicken,
a nutshell, one hundred percent race agent

691
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:46.880
from the Weather Channel. He's just
happy to be wherever. That's right,

692
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:51.519
happy to be here. Oh man, I don't know if you saw this,

693
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:55.199
but it's a big anniversary today,
big anniversary ten thousand days since the

694
01:02:55.280 --> 01:03:00.920
Dallas Cowboys have won a Super Bowl, Just so you know, Yeah,

695
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:06.039
tell that to the Vikings and Bills
fans. Go ahead. Well, that

696
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:10.800
was kind of my second point,
but I just thought it was how many

697
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:14.719
days since the Bills I won a
Super Bowl? Yes, how many?

698
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:19.840
I mean, how old is the
universe? How many since they lost one?

699
01:03:20.760 --> 01:03:24.719
Anyway, weather wise, is going
to be a great weekend shower thunderstorm

700
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:28.000
threat later today, It's not going
to be much or as a front coming

701
01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:31.079
in mid uper eighties today in the
sunny weekend, close to the middle eighties.

702
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:34.880
As we get it to Saturday and
Father's Day, some spots close to

703
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:38.280
ninety. Next week does look a
little bit unsettled. Showers, thutter showers

704
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:43.119
maybe each day. The Atlantic's got
a wave coming off the coast of Africa

705
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:46.639
forty percent chance of developing. The
longer age guidance at least right now,

706
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:52.440
sometime late next week early the following
week steers it away from the US mainland,

707
01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:57.639
but we'll keep an eye on it
for everybody. And catastrophic flooding in

708
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:01.039
the Panhandle of Florida, especially over
teenage drain in six hours in a Scambia

709
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:06.559
county and a couple of fatalities actually
I think three from a tornado in Perryton,

710
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:11.119
Texas. So weather it was a
little bit busy yesterday. We're enjoying

711
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.519
some of the nicer weather in the
nation right now. Yeah, I went

712
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:16.760
through a trailer park. I heard
of news terrible man. Yeah, we

713
01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:19.239
have you all right, thank you
sir. We'll talk in an hour,

714
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:24.039
okay, yep, and we'll take
a break. Come back. I mentioned

715
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:29.440
we got a little uh, we
got a little New Zealand New Zealand slash

716
01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:31.719
Canadian news. But it might,
I don't know, might benefit one of

717
01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:35.719
you. So we get that.
And also coming up eight oh five peak

718
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:45.440
calendar will join us, so stick
around for all of that your day smarter

719
01:04:45.079 --> 01:04:50.639
one oh six one FM Talk and
News Talk nine four five w PTI more

720
01:04:50.920 --> 01:05:03.519
with Casey starts now. Police say
that they have found one hundred and fifty

721
01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:13.559
million dollars worth of meth cooked into
Canadian maple syrup. So now they're killing

722
01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:18.400
us with their smoke and their meth. But I guess maybe if you have

723
01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:23.599
some Canadian syrup on your shelf,
you should check it. And if you

724
01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:30.920
eat pancakes and then are able to
run two miles for no reason, you

725
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:40.000
should stop eating that syrup. Perhaps, wow, look at this. In

726
01:05:40.079 --> 01:05:43.639
fact, they say that the syrup
has made its way all the way to

727
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:51.880
Australia and New Zealand as the meth
is manufactured and shipped all around the world.

728
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:59.039
That is crazy. So yeah,
watch out for Canadian maple syrup.

729
01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:00.920
It might be full of meth.
Unless you're into meth, then you know,

730
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:06.320
rush out to your shout out to
the store today and get a hold

731
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:12.599
of it. All right, let
me um, let me hit on.

732
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:14.559
We got to this audio here.
I want to get into this. So

733
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:19.400
Joe Biden yesterday is getting some questions
fired at him, and reporter has a

734
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:24.119
question that he is not a fan
of, not a fan of at all,

735
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:29.960
and frankly, no follow up questions
from any other reporters, even though

736
01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:32.559
some would argue that if you're gonna
run what did I see the graph?

737
01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:38.719
Two hundred and ninety minutes on the
Trump indictment and zero minutes on the three

738
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:43.400
big networks on anything having to do
with the Biden and the whistleblower stuff.

739
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:46.639
I guess you can't expect him to
actually try to do their job. But

740
01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:54.159
here it is all right, hard
to hear this. I'm gonna read it

741
01:06:54.199 --> 01:07:00.320
before. Why did the Ukraine FBI
informant file refer to you as the big

742
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:05.440
guy President Biden? Why is that? What's a fair question considering what we

743
01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:12.000
know about some other uses of the
term the big guy, right. Why

744
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:25.440
so, what Joe Biden responds is, why do you ask such a dumb

745
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:29.760
question? I have a question on
my own. I guess you can tell

746
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:33.320
me if it's dumb or not.
Isn't that the level of disrespect for the

747
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:38.119
media that Donald Trump was said to
have ushered in and created, you know,

748
01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:42.880
the end of the fourth Estate and
the ability of everyone to do their

749
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:46.960
jobs, And it was it was
unacceptable and a politician because Joe Biden has

750
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:53.119
answered a lot of questions lightly lately
in that very same way, and Jean

751
01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:57.480
Pierre into a lesser extent because she
softens it a little, but it means

752
01:07:57.519 --> 01:08:02.039
the same thing has has done exactly
that. I thought that that was unacceptable

753
01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:06.599
for the President of the United States
when interacting with media, even though it

754
01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:11.719
brought me an amazing amount of glee, and I like, I was glued

755
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:16.199
to my TV watching the first few
Trump pressers where he went, you know,

756
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:21.159
you're fake news, and and then
later when he said when he's in

757
01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:25.520
the gold room there and they're having
that like hour and a half long press

758
01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:31.239
conference, and he then upped the
CNNs his CNN foil to really fake news

759
01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.680
allway. That was crazy. The
whole time, I'm being told through my

760
01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:40.079
laughs that I'm immature and I don't
get it, and you can't talk to

761
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:44.279
reporters that way. You're trying to
literally get them killed. Remember that's what

762
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:50.680
That's what the allegation was. Donald
Trump was making reporters unsafe. People were

763
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:55.720
going to do harm to them.
And Joe Biden, why do you ask

764
01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:59.880
such dumb questions? Get out of
here? Remember the way he guy tang

765
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:02.520
with a voter that one time,
calling him fat, Hey, fat listen.

766
01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:12.159
I wanted to fight the guy,
and I hear none of that criticism.

767
01:09:12.199 --> 01:09:15.600
Just why do you ask such dumb
question? And then the talking heads

768
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:23.199
on the panel shows going that was
a disrespectful question to the president. Why

769
01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:26.960
does that guy even have a press
credential? That's what I see a lot

770
01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:31.239
of when Deucey asked the question.
Or that guy who's he's from one of

771
01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:38.239
the African news agencies, who's always
up in Jean Pierre's grill because he never

772
01:09:38.279 --> 01:09:44.800
gets called on for questions anyway.
All right, so we'll we'll get in

773
01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:48.199
on a little of that and just
a lot of what the week has had

774
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:54.720
coming up with Pete Callender eight oh
five right around the corner Casey O Day

775
01:09:54.840 --> 01:10:26.279
Radio program. All right, good
morning everybody, eight o seven. Here

776
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:29.359
on the k c O Day radio
program Bad News. Pete and I were

777
01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:31.199
riffing off the air. We covered
all the ground you should have been there.

778
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:35.199
It was amazing. I suppose we
could do it all again though,

779
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:40.199
you know, if you're into that
sort of thing, So let's let's join

780
01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:43.640
in. Pete Calendar, Radio,
Buddy Down Ato, WBT, and Charlotte

781
01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:45.479
Midday's there via the iHeart radio app. You want to catch a listen.

782
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:50.000
How you doing, sir, I'm
doing all right. I'm actually just sending

783
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:55.319
out the requisite tweet to let everybody
know that I'm joining your program. Wow

784
01:10:55.479 --> 01:11:00.359
wow, okay, I'm I was
slacking on my social media ing. Big

785
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:03.840
time stuff there man. So we
were having a conversation, I guess for

786
01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:11.760
those of you who just joining us. So there's reporting by recognize a couple

787
01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:15.800
of these names, Matt Taiebe,
Michael Schellenberger. You probably know their names

788
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:20.319
for either from Twitter, but more
importantly from Twitter files. But they do

789
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:24.960
other stuff. And there's a third
reporter and it's I don't have it in

790
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:31.560
front of me, but they have
a pretty interesting report out with government sources

791
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:36.479
who apparently just have decided that they
can't live with themselves anymore three years later,

792
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:44.039
and it says that yes, they
do know who the patient zeros were

793
01:11:44.359 --> 01:11:48.159
for COVID, and in fact,
when you hear their names and you hear

794
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:51.359
where they work, all of a
sudden you're like, hey, you know

795
01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:56.399
what, I seem to remember people
bringing that up at at the time,

796
01:11:56.479 --> 01:12:01.119
So they are that's not it too
long, No, that's not them,

797
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:08.920
and bang stop it. You have
no idea the excitement on Ross's face this

798
01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:14.039
morning as he pulled that audio clip
out of the archives so excited. Well,

799
01:12:14.560 --> 01:12:19.000
so you know you can also run
that back for the Hunter Biden uh

800
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:25.720
Chinese energy uh corruption story as well. Dude, we do have any opportunity

801
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:28.800
to use that. So yeah,
yeah, there's a couple of guys and

802
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:34.600
involved in that. I think there's
a whole involved in the laptop story,

803
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:38.640
you know what. I think there's
a lot of hoes involved in the Hunter

804
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:43.520
Biden lap my story. Judging by
the photos there, um no. But

805
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.760
what you have is you have three
individuals who are scientists who work at the

806
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:51.000
Wuhan Lab, and I just ie, they don't work at the wet market.

807
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:55.000
I thought, wait, they're not
employees at the wet market. Well,

808
01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:58.079
maybe they have a second gig,
you know, maybe they're you know,

809
01:12:58.199 --> 01:13:00.760
it's not making ends meet. They
got a sigh hustle, uh,

810
01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:04.199
you know, slinging pengguluint pegulin,
tacos or something I don't know, or

811
01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:10.000
you know, bat buffalo, bat
wings. So my theory and so my

812
01:13:10.119 --> 01:13:15.600
theory is, yes, that you've
worked in the office where um, you

813
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:18.840
know, there's a restaurant nearby or
something, and there's always like somebody that

814
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:23.119
goes around and they're like, hey, we're gonna go around the corner and

815
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:27.680
get some you know or something.
Yeah. I'm going, hey, yeah,

816
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.239
what do you all want? And
so I'm thinking that all of the

817
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:33.479
scientists, uh, they were like, Hey, we're going over to the

818
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:36.199
wet market. Who wants who kind
I put down for? You know,

819
01:13:36.199 --> 01:13:41.319
what what do you want? Who
I'm taking orders? And then the scientists

820
01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:45.640
they probably all got the bat soup
and uh and that's where they that's where

821
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:51.560
they contracted the COVID nineteen. Well
that's a theory. Um, but I

822
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:56.079
seem to remember, and maybe maybe
you're old enough to remember this as well.

823
01:13:56.520 --> 01:14:00.920
Had you promulgated a theory such as
that that involved anything having to do

824
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:04.760
with the lab, you would have
been deep platformed, or at the very

825
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:09.640
least had your social media shutdown.
I can remember that, yeah, that

826
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:13.119
was a thing, and then accused
of taking horse pills or something. Right

827
01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:17.760
right. The reality is, though, um, if these who are the

828
01:14:17.840 --> 01:14:23.640
people speaking to the reporters knew Fouci
had to know, people in China knew

829
01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:28.600
the World Health Organization, people had
to know. How widespread do you think

830
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:32.600
that knowledge was? Even considering that
we know that people, Um, you

831
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:39.479
know, we're within this circle of
decision makers, and when it came to

832
01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:43.000
the COVID stuff, obviously they were
reaching out. Remember Mandy Cohen, would

833
01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:45.560
you know she talked to her besties
on the regular to figure out you know

834
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:49.800
what they what they get to shut
down? How? How? Why do

835
01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:54.000
you think that this knowledge was spread? And do you think it expands to

836
01:14:54.079 --> 01:14:57.600
somebody like a Mandy Cohen? Because
I feel like it almost would have to,

837
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:01.199
wouldn't it. Really? Well,
I'm not so sure. I'm not

838
01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:04.680
so sure. I mean, because
you look at the way people just fell

839
01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:11.199
in line, right, and they
just accepted whatever. And part of it

840
01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:14.399
was, you know, self preservation
and sort of this passing the buck of

841
01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:17.800
responsibility to say, well, what
are they doing in Massachusetts or are you

842
01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:20.720
opening up your panther games, you
know, your football games and stuff.

843
01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:24.800
Okay, well I'm not either,
Yeay. You know there's this there is

844
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:28.359
this peer pressure, this like go
along, get along kind of mentality,

845
01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:31.560
and I suspect that it's the same
thing happens like sort of in a corporate

846
01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:35.800
setting, in a bureacratic setting where
you have the shot callers at the top

847
01:15:36.079 --> 01:15:41.119
and then you have you know,
all of us peons at the bottom that

848
01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:46.359
you need that that middle buffer at
middle management right where they don't know all

849
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:50.279
of the stuff that the people at
the top know, but they serve a

850
01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:55.720
purpose as a heat shield. So
when the peons getting mad at whatever policy

851
01:15:55.840 --> 01:16:00.520
is being crammed down on them,
you have this this buffer that the middle

852
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:04.199
management serves where uh, you know, the top guys are not getting attacked

853
01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:09.399
personally, but the middle management it's
the plausible deniability. They're not told that

854
01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:15.880
stuff. So this way they can
with confidence and assuredness and can convey this,

855
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:17.520
you know, authority this, Oh, I know, because the top

856
01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:21.760
people told me, right, we're
consulting the best minds on this, and

857
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:26.600
you know, right people in the
world. Yes, Right, So there's

858
01:16:26.760 --> 01:16:30.039
so I believe, like, for
example, media serves this purpose, right,

859
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:34.800
Uh. And we saw it on
display during the pandemic when the people

860
01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:40.760
that were given you know, keys
to the gate to ask questions during the

861
01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:45.239
governor's press conferences, right, they
never asked the kinds of questions that could

862
01:16:45.239 --> 01:16:49.560
have rooted this stuff out. There
was there was very little challenging of the

863
01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:54.039
authority, right, And like people
like we talked about this at the time,

864
01:16:54.359 --> 01:16:57.039
what's the you know, like,
what are the costs when you're locking

865
01:16:57.039 --> 01:16:59.640
everybody down? One of the costs. Now we're seeing numbers like twenty six

866
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.000
million in depths that would otherwise not
have occurred. You know, where where

867
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:05.960
do we go to get that accounting? Where do we go to get people

868
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:11.039
that's that will tell us? Okay, I made you know, these ten

869
01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:14.920
decisions during the pandemic, and these
three were the wrong decisions, and we

870
01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:17.199
should not have done these three things. These other seven I got right.

871
01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:23.199
But nobody says that there's no accounting
for any policy that was that was wrong.

872
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:27.239
Nobody asks Cooper, hey, did
you make any wrong calls during the

873
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:30.359
pandemic, because that's important, it
is, that's important to know if there

874
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:34.600
were wrong calls made, so we
don't make them again. That's the point.

875
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:39.039
And none of this stuff was ever
asked during the pandemic, and it's

876
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:42.439
still not being asked of these people. Well let me ask you this though,

877
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:45.359
Um, do you think the reason, largely on the Cooper front,

878
01:17:45.479 --> 01:17:48.760
is because listening to him have to
detail it would take six hours as slow

879
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:54.359
as he speaks. No, But
in all seriousness, it's it's far worse

880
01:17:54.399 --> 01:18:00.079
than that. And here's why.
Because the penalty for you know, you

881
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:03.439
describe to some extent is standard government, right, you know, like Joe

882
01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:06.079
Biden yesterday, Why would you ask
such a dumb question which, by the

883
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:10.279
way, I thought being mean to
the media was you wanting people to hurt

884
01:18:10.319 --> 01:18:15.199
them and was unacceptable. But it's
okay now, um, because this went,

885
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:18.840
this went beyond just being ignored by
Cooper's office, which we we have

886
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:26.520
a proud tradition of here on this
show. It because people were they were

887
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:30.359
dpersoned, not just deep platform they
were deep personed. They were de banked

888
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:36.800
up in Canada. Uh. They
they had the inability to utilize various things

889
01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:45.039
like go fund mesu and they they
were demonized and in some cases criminalized over

890
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.720
over this descent. So this wasn't
your standard run of the mill. I'm

891
01:18:48.720 --> 01:18:51.680
just going to ignore these guys and
screw them. And I don't care who

892
01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:58.800
knows this was. If you question
the standard protocol here, your life will

893
01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:01.319
be ruined. And I'm sick of
people going, well, look at this,

894
01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:05.560
the Hillary Clinton defense I've seen at
this point, what does it matter?

895
01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:12.239
And that is a fundamental misunderstanding of
what all these folks and these upper

896
01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:17.600
echelons had stood to lose if that
information came out. Right, they abused

897
01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:21.760
people, and now they want and
now they want everyone to just move on.

898
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:26.000
Remember that was the story, what
like a few months ago, Hey,

899
01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:30.239
let's just all move on and admit
said not everything was perfect, Mistakes

900
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:33.640
were made, things were said,
whatever, you know, let's one foot

901
01:19:33.640 --> 01:19:38.319
in front of the other. Yet
no, no, you attempted to ruin

902
01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:41.760
people's living. You were called all
sorts of names. I was called all

903
01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:45.119
sorts of names simply for asking questions
like, hey, you guys used to

904
01:19:45.159 --> 01:19:53.359
say that masks don't work for a
respiratory virus that's ariostolized. So what changed?

905
01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:59.479
And for that, just asking why
the guidance changed with this virus.

906
01:20:00.039 --> 01:20:02.680
You were a moon landing denier.
You were a moon landing denier exactly,

907
01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:06.920
Yeah, accused of wanting to kill
people, like, Hey, the virus

908
01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:11.399
isn't really spreading among the kids.
It might have something to do with the

909
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.279
ACE two receptors in their nostrils,
So why are we closing all the schools?

910
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:16.760
And for that again, you're you're
trying to kill teachers. Why do

911
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:20.399
you hate children? All this?
So there needs to be no There needs

912
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:24.720
to be a reckoning. There needs
to be an accounting. And I don't

913
01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:29.720
know, you know, maybe naming
Mandy Cohen CDC director maybe we get that.

914
01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:33.920
I do find it very interesting to
watch as the rest of the country

915
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:41.159
sort of gets to know Mandy Cohen
and all of a sudden, now you're

916
01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:45.479
starting to see some of these criticisms
from outsiders that people like you and me

917
01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:48.159
were making. And you know,
folks at North State Journal and the John

918
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:51.880
Rock Foundation were raising these questions and
you know, why is she doing this

919
01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:56.960
or that? And now with the
because during the pandemic, everybody was looking

920
01:20:56.960 --> 01:20:59.319
at their own state, right,
looking at their own state or looking at

921
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.680
DC. But now people are starting
to look at North Carolina and you're you're

922
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:11.119
starting to see the criticisms that we
were making getting amplified by people outside of

923
01:21:11.159 --> 01:21:15.359
the state of North Carolina in a
way that our own press corps. A

924
01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:18.760
lot of times, the political press
corps that was covering those daily briefings ignored.

925
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.520
Yeah, the ones who were in
Q one. People don't realize that

926
01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:30.399
they literally had separate ques for reporters, and it was it was like the

927
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:33.119
Caligula orgy boats. We talked about
where you don't want to be on boat

928
01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:36.920
three, well because that's where the
lepers are, right or bout two,

929
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:40.399
But you want to be on boat
one. And if you were on boat

930
01:21:40.439 --> 01:21:44.079
one, you got questions and you
got to ask a couple of questions.

931
01:21:44.119 --> 01:21:49.479
Yeah, all right, So let's
let's imagine, shall we Let's wildly speculate

932
01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:56.399
if instead of days after we learned
this information, the World Health Organization had

933
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:01.359
decided instead of amplifying a tweet from
China going we didn't do nothing, they

934
01:22:01.399 --> 01:22:05.520
instead pointed out that, yes,
In fact, it appears that the first

935
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:13.720
cases originated among scientists at this virology
lab. How different do you think things

936
01:22:13.800 --> 01:22:15.640
would have played out? At the
very least, I think that people would

937
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:23.199
have sat there and it would have
sapped public confidence in health officials to do

938
01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:27.279
this type of research and in these
types of places if they were going to

939
01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:31.479
be so wildly irresponsible and that stop
that stops the money flowing. So you

940
01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:35.319
helped me imagine what it would have
looked like maybe, So yeah, I

941
01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:40.399
completely agree there would be that backlash. Why are you doing this research?

942
01:22:40.479 --> 01:22:43.479
Why are you doing at a level
two security lab, which is basically,

943
01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:47.560
you know, a dental surgery standard. Why was that occurring? Who you

944
01:22:47.560 --> 01:22:53.319
know? Who made those decisions?
Sauchi uh pays a price for that.

945
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:59.479
Obviously, money starts getting dried up. But the response looks different as well.

946
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.840
I think the response is, first
off, there's there's anger towards China,

947
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:11.399
which you know rightfully so um and
questions about their lax standards, and

948
01:23:11.840 --> 01:23:15.439
that is sort of writ large across
all of the communist country, right like

949
01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:21.319
you've got lower standards for like everything. Um. So there's anger directed towards

950
01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:27.640
China, But there's also then I
think a rallying effect to say, uh,

951
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:31.000
you know this came from there.
They made these mistakes. Yes,

952
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:34.279
we were part of this research.
And I think you can actually make an

953
01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:38.800
argument as the scientists dudes and that
like we need to be doing this in

954
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:41.479
order to get the vaccines, and
you know, they can make some sort

955
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:45.760
of argument along those lines. You
can't argue though at the low standards,

956
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.760
there's no there's no defense a lot. If you're whatever you want to study,

957
01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:53.319
if it's really really bad, I'd
prefer you not do it anywhere near

958
01:23:53.840 --> 01:23:57.479
me. You know, I'll go
all Nimby on this, but you're right

959
01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:01.560
if that involves okay, well what's
not near you is Balua or you know,

960
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:06.199
some island out there, and we're
just there's no standards whatsoever. Uh,

961
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:10.640
that's that's where we draw the line. But you're right. I think

962
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:13.199
it would have had a rallying effect. And I think one of the miss

963
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:17.399
the big miss things was the re
shoring, especially within our medical industry.

964
01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:20.760
Um, get that out of you, get that out of China, man,

965
01:24:21.520 --> 01:24:25.319
right, Well, remember there was
the travel band, right, you

966
01:24:25.399 --> 01:24:29.319
had the locking down China. I
think that would have been a much easier

967
01:24:29.399 --> 01:24:32.479
call. But the downside for a
lot of the Democrats and media, but

968
01:24:32.520 --> 01:24:35.840
I repeat myself, is that you
would not be able to attack Donald Trump

969
01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:40.279
for calling it the Wuhan virus,
right, and that really I mean no,

970
01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:42.800
no, no, no, kung
flu come on man, right.

971
01:24:43.399 --> 01:24:45.920
So yeah, the attacks that were
that were you know, levied against him

972
01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:49.600
uh and others, but mainly him, you know, to go after Donald

973
01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:55.000
Trump as a racist, and there
was great benefit for for the left to

974
01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:59.319
do so, so they were able
to weaponize that against him. Again,

975
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:04.600
it's another like another example of Trump
arrangement syndrome where everybody is viewing everything through

976
01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:10.159
this prism of Trump either pro or
against, and it just it blinds people

977
01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:15.680
to reality. Yeah, and it's
never dude, what I was what we

978
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:20.039
were watching obviously going on in the
city of Miami, where you had you

979
01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:25.079
had protesters on all sides. You
had idiots at the Miami Airport or were

980
01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:30.479
standing outside International terminal with signs that
says essentially welcome foreign visitors, you're safe

981
01:25:30.520 --> 01:25:34.640
now we got them. And which, of course, when you had people

982
01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:40.199
that were then walking out of the
terminal who were pro Trump, obviously was

983
01:25:40.239 --> 01:25:44.239
starting to fight. So the trolling
was working. That insanity rolls on.

984
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:46.800
Man, We're not getting away from
that anytime soon. Yeah. No,

985
01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:53.680
it's it's it's it's the circus and
people are they're addicted to it, and

986
01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:56.800
uh, you know, even the
people like I'm not so sure, like

987
01:25:56.840 --> 01:25:59.800
if people asked, like we were
talking about obviously the indictment of Trump and

988
01:25:59.840 --> 01:26:03.800
all of this over the last few
days. And honestly, I don't know.

989
01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:09.720
But if you indict Trump and his
pull numbers go up, and you

990
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:13.560
think that he's the easier guy to
beat in the general election, right,

991
01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:17.279
and you're a Democrat, why not
just keep indicting him, keep indicting him,

992
01:26:17.600 --> 01:26:21.600
drive his pull numbers up in the
primary, knowing that you will then

993
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:26.399
be able to more easily beat him
than another candidate. And I know that

994
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:32.239
sounds crazy, but people are crazy
and everything is ordered around this guy,

995
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:38.079
Donald Trump, and so I have
to entertain the idea that some of this

996
01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:43.000
stuff is pure politics. They want
to run against him, just like they

997
01:26:43.079 --> 01:26:45.279
wanted to they thought they did in
twenty sixteen. We don't know what we

998
01:26:45.279 --> 01:26:48.960
don't know. I got less than
a minute I find this funny WBTV down

999
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:53.199
by you, and then now the
Impost. The talking points are out,

1000
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:59.720
both with articles saying things like bud
Light lost their top spot, some people

1001
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.640
leave it may have to do with
Dylan mulvaney. Washington Post goes further to

1002
01:27:02.720 --> 01:27:09.560
say that it likely was part of
a larger downward trend and stagnation among domestic

1003
01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:14.560
beer. Yeah, thirty seconds,
who's buying that crap? Well, apparently

1004
01:27:14.560 --> 01:27:18.079
nobody's buying bud Light. That's the
problem. M So it isn't even the

1005
01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:25.800
Dylan mulvaney component. It's that fluss
And I think more importantly what that what

1006
01:27:25.960 --> 01:27:30.319
that PR woman said, Yeah,
that interview see gave. That's what did

1007
01:27:30.319 --> 01:27:33.479
it in. When you when you
insult your clients, your customers, and

1008
01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:38.640
you say you don't want them as
customers, right, they will go somewhere

1009
01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:40.920
else. Yeah, all right,
Pete calendar. Have to leave it there,

1010
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:45.640
but we will chat next week since
Sundays the holiday not Friday. Have

1011
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:47.640
a good one, Okay, you
two, and we'll be back. Hang

1012
01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:53.880
on. Best show after the show
is on the iHeartRadio app. Search case

1013
01:27:54.079 --> 01:28:11.800
o day for the podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. All right, welcome back.

1014
01:28:11.800 --> 01:28:18.239
It is eight thirty six k c
O D Radio program Kent Christmas.

1015
01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:24.079
Do you know who that is?
Kent Christmas. He is a pastor at

1016
01:28:24.119 --> 01:28:32.359
Regeneration Nashville, and he's not helpful
in any way, shape or form.

1017
01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:40.920
M watching this um this sermon,
and here's the deal. I see people

1018
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:48.039
trying to go he doesn't mean literally, he means figuratively. Can I play

1019
01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:50.800
it for you? And then you
tell me if you you know how you

1020
01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:58.119
interpret this? And I saw it
made me angry as I saw people being

1021
01:28:59.399 --> 01:29:02.319
critical them. And then people are
like, I can't believe you would you

1022
01:29:02.399 --> 01:29:12.479
would criticize a fellow Christian. Why
Why isn't that exactly what is asked of

1023
01:29:14.239 --> 01:29:21.720
people and other religions when it comes
to maybe orthodoxy that it doesn't really align

1024
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:28.159
with what you understand the belief for
the faith to be. Why can't people

1025
01:29:28.159 --> 01:29:30.640
have a conversation about it. I
mean, he's not my pastor, but

1026
01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:32.000
I gotta tell you, man,
if I was sitting in this church listening

1027
01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:38.239
to this, I wouldn't be sitting
in that church much longer. And sometimes

1028
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:44.279
it deviates into people having disagreements with
more liberal types of things right where the

1029
01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:51.399
church is like, you know,
even though the parent the parent organization of

1030
01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:56.640
our particular faith says this, we're
going to do things a little different here.

1031
01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:00.880
Well, when you hear that,
you want to know what the little

1032
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:03.840
different things are. And sometimes those
are little different things that don't comport with

1033
01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:12.159
one's individual faith and they go find
a new church. It happens. But

1034
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.279
this guy right here, man,
I don't know that I could walk out

1035
01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:20.600
fast enough. You want to know
why the Muslim faith has had his advancements.

1036
01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:27.079
It's because the Muslims who were willing
to die for their believe. But

1037
01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:31.520
they were willing to strap bombs to
their chest they believed or the afterlife,

1038
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:35.800
God give us some men and women
not they don't get a hold of some

1039
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:42.079
passion, then their spirit, that's
it. I will lay down my life

1040
01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:45.439
for the golf sport now, all
right? So I want you to I

1041
01:30:45.479 --> 01:30:48.000
want you to filter that because I
sit there and I listened to it,

1042
01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:51.399
and I can see where some people
would say. What he's pointing out is

1043
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:56.119
he's saying that these are individuals who
were so passionate about their faith that they

1044
01:30:56.119 --> 01:31:00.520
were literally willing to die for their
faith. And that is obviously not an

1045
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:06.520
uncommon thing or a point of discussion
even within Christian churches. But when you

1046
01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:12.760
invoked the suicide bomber example, then
people are going to be sharing that around.

1047
01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:17.560
And so look at this guy's calling
for suicide bombers. I just think

1048
01:31:17.560 --> 01:31:21.760
it's a really horrible way to make
a point, if in fact the point

1049
01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:27.920
he was trying to make was the
more nuanced one that people are claiming.

1050
01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:30.600
I've seen some other stuff with this
guys. This a little too much for

1051
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:34.319
me, But that's that being said. It doesn't mean all of his messaging

1052
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:40.520
is wrong. However, in this
case, yes, it's not a great

1053
01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:45.960
example. Blood. It makes me
a little clutchy. And and look,

1054
01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:47.439
you can call and you can scream
at me, you can send me email.

1055
01:31:47.439 --> 01:31:49.960
What he's talking about is, you
know, are you willing to die

1056
01:31:50.039 --> 01:31:55.399
for for the faith? Well,
then talk about it like that in the

1057
01:31:55.439 --> 01:31:59.279
sense that a will are people willing
to because the example they give is would

1058
01:31:59.359 --> 01:32:04.199
you if you were you know,
you got captured right by some somebody who

1059
01:32:04.199 --> 01:32:08.399
doesn't like Christians, right, and
they were on your knees and they said

1060
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:12.000
we're going we're going to kill you
if you unless you renounce your faith?

1061
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:15.279
Would you renounce your faith? And
there are obviously biblical stories that go along

1062
01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:18.680
with this, and uh, you
know, the renouncing of Jesus is kind

1063
01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:20.479
of a big thing. I was
going to say, you know, the

1064
01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:25.319
Bible does have tales of people.
Second, you know, right right,

1065
01:32:25.520 --> 01:32:28.960
David, And that's good. I
don't know that you invoked the suicide bombers

1066
01:32:28.960 --> 01:32:30.319
though, you know what I'm saying, Well, did that make it a

1067
01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:34.079
little uncomfortable dubbing that in this morning? It did? Yeah? Yeah,

1068
01:32:34.279 --> 01:32:36.439
because like you said, if if
he wants to go down the road,

1069
01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:44.760
there are plenty of examples or stories
or parables he could tell. Oh,

1070
01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:46.920
I don't know. And of course, because then the headline is Trump pastor,

1071
01:32:46.960 --> 01:32:53.319
Trump pap pro Trump pastor suggests Christians
should be suicide bombers. That is

1072
01:32:53.319 --> 01:32:59.880
the headline from Newsweek. I'll play
it again. Did he suggest they should

1073
01:32:59.880 --> 01:33:02.840
be suicide bombers? Or did he
probably just do a really horrible job of

1074
01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:09.720
trying to make a point. You
tell me, you want to know why

1075
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:15.039
the Muslim faith has had his advancements. It's because some Muslims who were willing

1076
01:33:15.239 --> 01:33:20.800
to die for their believe, they
were willing to strap bombs to their chest

1077
01:33:21.039 --> 01:33:27.199
they believed or the afterlife God give
up Some men and women not they don't

1078
01:33:27.239 --> 01:33:31.560
get a hold of some passion their
spirit. That's it. I will lay

1079
01:33:31.640 --> 01:33:34.600
down my life for the golf sport. By the way, you think his

1080
01:33:34.760 --> 01:33:41.640
name is really Christmas? What an
amazing pastor's name though, right, Uh,

1081
01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:48.520
I'm curious what you think. And
I don't know. Maybe I've just

1082
01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:55.520
never been in a church where where
they were using tales of suicide bombers to

1083
01:33:56.000 --> 01:34:00.640
make larger points. But you know, hey, that's that's just me,

1084
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:03.119
so we got that for you.
Also, I don't know if you saw

1085
01:34:03.239 --> 01:34:10.920
Pat say Jack said he's retiring,
And um, I don't like some of

1086
01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:15.760
the suggestions that are coming out about
who's gonna who's gonna take over? By

1087
01:34:15.800 --> 01:34:16.960
the way, who I mean,
who do you think could take over for

1088
01:34:17.079 --> 01:34:26.199
Pat say Jack? Alex Trebek?
Right, I mean that's a that's a

1089
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:30.880
I would argue that those those two
obviously Trebecca's gonna I understand that, But

1090
01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:33.199
um, like, I don't even
know that those two could host each other's

1091
01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:41.159
shows. So you're gonna have to
get real nuanced here. Now, this

1092
01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:45.000
is an interesting one. One of
the suggestions is to roll Vanah White over

1093
01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:50.680
to host, get somebody else to
churn the numbers. Maybe, yeah,

1094
01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:55.159
I think she did. She fill
in firm one time on that side of

1095
01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:59.079
it. It was like a whole
thing. I mean, obviously Vannah White

1096
01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:09.720
is the show also suggested Ryan Seacrest
does he need more jobs? There was

1097
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:16.319
a time he had half the jobs
in radio and TV slight exaggeration. The

1098
01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:24.119
third suggestion, whoopee Goldberg, Well
why don't you just get her and Joy

1099
01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:27.880
behar in there? Except neither of
them will turn the numbers, because that's

1100
01:35:27.960 --> 01:35:30.560
you know, they don't need some
man telling them what job to do.

1101
01:35:33.119 --> 01:35:38.960
These are all suggestions running around out
there. I think, actually, Pat

1102
01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:42.800
say, Jack's daughter Maggie is one
of the other ones too, So don't

1103
01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:45.640
know, but I know that it's
only been just a few minutes. All

1104
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:49.800
right, Daniel, what's up?
Hey, Well, good morning. Look,

1105
01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:55.880
I'm a I'm a pastor. And
the suicide bomber thing. I think

1106
01:35:55.880 --> 01:36:00.039
his intentions were probably right. He
was probably in the moment, right in

1107
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:04.520
the middle of the past. Oh
no, your phone's cutting out there,

1108
01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:08.720
sir, right hold up? Oh
can you hear men? Yeah? I

1109
01:36:08.760 --> 01:36:10.439
can hear you now, and I
really want to hear this, so,

1110
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:13.760
uh you see, you think the
intentions were there, and you understand maybe

1111
01:36:13.760 --> 01:36:17.159
what he was trying to communicate,
But but what right right? So,

1112
01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:21.399
like being being a pastor, when
you're delivering a message, you're always looking

1113
01:36:21.520 --> 01:36:28.119
for the perfect analogies of perfect example. Um. And you can tell that

1114
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:32.039
this guy is a pretty charismatic guy, like he's he's he's passionate, he's

1115
01:36:32.079 --> 01:36:38.920
trying to get to it um and
stuck just just being a pastor myself and

1116
01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:43.359
being in the in the ministry and
wanting to deliver a message that resonates,

1117
01:36:43.359 --> 01:36:47.319
in a message that captivates the audience
and gets the point across. He probably

1118
01:36:47.359 --> 01:36:50.439
just got caught up in the heat
of the moment um. You know.

1119
01:36:50.560 --> 01:36:55.279
One of the one of the cornerstones
of the Christian faith is you know,

1120
01:36:55.479 --> 01:36:58.520
like you know, Jesus laid down
his life for us, right, um,

1121
01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:01.640
and so we should We're supposed to
carry his cross daily, uh,

1122
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:05.560
to follow him and so um.
Yeah, I mean, you know,

1123
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:11.600
all the all of the twelve Disciples
except for John. John was exiled to

1124
01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:15.039
the Isle of Patmoson was beheaded,
but all the all the rest of them,

1125
01:37:15.079 --> 01:37:17.760
you know, they die a martyr's
death or Jesus some of them,

1126
01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:21.279
were crucified them, and then we're
burned. Um well then we had that

1127
01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:25.359
whole joke, the whole Judas thing. But yes, no to your point,

1128
01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:28.880
yeah, yeah yeah Judas. Judas
kind of shot himself in the foot

1129
01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:31.079
on that one. So yeah,
now I hear you, so um yeah,

1130
01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:34.920
I get it. But I also
get how easy. And I know

1131
01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:39.840
you can't do everything based on what
Newsweek is going to do, but don't

1132
01:37:39.880 --> 01:37:44.479
make the job so easy, that's
right, you yeah, yeah, yeah,

1133
01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:46.479
right, because if it because if
it has the net here's here's why.

1134
01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:50.960
If it has the net impact of
turning people off of curiosity, perhaps

1135
01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:56.600
in the Christian faith, then it's
not a positive outcome for what you're trying

1136
01:37:56.600 --> 01:38:00.760
to accomplish. That's right. And
you and you know, just as well

1137
01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:05.720
as everybody that's listening, the media
is out to ridicule Christianity at any given

1138
01:38:05.760 --> 01:38:08.960
moment. So yeah, they're looking
for Yeah, all right, cool,

1139
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:12.560
cool thoks, Thanks appreciate it.
And oh real quick, race Stagic from

1140
01:38:12.560 --> 01:38:15.560
the Weather Channel. Since we're not
gonna talk Monday, and you got an

1141
01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:18.600
easy forecast, we're gonna coast right
through it. What's up? Yeah today,

1142
01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:21.479
not a lot of rain, maybe
a shower thunder shower later today to

1143
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:26.159
our dinner time or mid up rady
sun and clouds. Otherwise over the weekend,

1144
01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:30.439
lots of sunshine, probably between about
eighty four could be as warm as

1145
01:38:30.560 --> 01:38:32.920
ninety in the triad. Next week
looks a little damp. I think we'll

1146
01:38:32.920 --> 01:38:35.880
get into a little bit wetter weather
pattern. All right, thanks to appreciate

1147
01:38:35.920 --> 01:38:39.800
it. How about three day three
day weekends? Sir? Okay, yeah,

1148
01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:41.800
see you Tuesday, yeah, yeah, yeah, and we'll come back

1149
01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:58.199
chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang
on, Thank you. Casey is w

1150
01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:04.720
PTI in the Triad one six one
FM Talk in the triangle. All right,

1151
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:10.119
eight fifty two Bloomberg Update now with
Jeff Bellinger and what's going on?

1152
01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:14.439
Jeff, Well, good morning,
Casey. Happy Friday. Stocks rallied yesterday,

1153
01:39:14.439 --> 01:39:16.760
and it's taken investors a little while
to make up their minds what they

1154
01:39:16.760 --> 01:39:20.520
want to do today. We've seen
some volatility, but right now the futures

1155
01:39:20.520 --> 01:39:24.960
are higher across the board, with
the Dow futures up forty one points.

1156
01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:30.720
Adobe shares were higher after hours yesterday. The media software maker posted record revenue

1157
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:33.760
for the latest quarter, but hotel
stocks missed out on yesterday's rally. A

1158
01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:39.479
City report was among the things that
worried investors. It said credit card spending

1159
01:39:39.520 --> 01:39:44.279
trends were slowing and growth in the
travel and entertainment category was down sharply.

1160
01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:48.720
Some federal agencies are among the victims
of cyber attacks by hackers exploiting that flaw

1161
01:39:49.000 --> 01:39:54.359
in the filed transfer product called move
It. The flaws dangerous it can lead

1162
01:39:54.399 --> 01:40:00.159
to data theft. The Cyber Security
and Infrastructure Security Agency did not identify the

1163
01:40:00.159 --> 01:40:04.560
effected agencies, but sources tell Bloomberg
a national lab and a radioactive waste storage

1164
01:40:04.560 --> 01:40:10.399
site managed by the Department of Energy
were among the victims. Some clothing makers

1165
01:40:10.399 --> 01:40:14.439
are seeing worrisome signs. Sales may
be holding up well for now, but

1166
01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:18.680
it appears some retailers are expecting demand
for apparel and footwear to fall off sharply

1167
01:40:18.720 --> 01:40:23.399
over the next several quarters. This
is the time when stores put in their

1168
01:40:23.399 --> 01:40:28.239
holiday orders and some factory orders or
some factory owners are saying big drops in

1169
01:40:28.279 --> 01:40:31.439
those orders. And dan Heiser Busch
Casey is about to roll out a new

1170
01:40:31.439 --> 01:40:35.800
ad campaign for bud Light. The
brewer says it will put the focus back

1171
01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:41.199
on beer. There was a backlash
against bud Light after the brand was promoted

1172
01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:45.279
by a transgender influencer. The summer
campaign will say simply that bud Light is

1173
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:50.119
easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Casey, so you saw that Pat

1174
01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:54.800
say Jack has announced he's retiring from
Wheel of Fortune. Yes, I did.

1175
01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:57.520
Here So they said that some of
the some of the people may take

1176
01:40:57.560 --> 01:41:00.520
over include Ryan Zecrest, Whoopee Goldberger, Vannah White. I can't think of

1177
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:06.520
anyone who can replace Pat say Jack. Nobody immediately comes to mind. I

1178
01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:11.720
think a lot of people favor Vannah, but Will yeah so too. All

1179
01:41:11.800 --> 01:41:15.239
right, all right, were you
Jeopardy or a Wheel of Fortune? More

1180
01:41:15.319 --> 01:41:17.520
Jeopardy? Okay, all right,
well, thank you much, sir.

1181
01:41:17.640 --> 01:41:19.880
Have a good three day weekend.
We'll talk to you tuesday. Okay,

1182
01:41:19.960 --> 01:41:23.079
do the same, take care of
all right, there you go. Jeff

1183
01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:30.520
Bellinger Bloomberg News that Ross found something
he does watch good, good good.

1184
01:41:34.119 --> 01:41:43.439
This is not a good look,
and yet I don't know that. All

1185
01:41:43.479 --> 01:41:45.520
right, I'm gonna read the head
I'm gonna read the headline and stuff.

1186
01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:49.199
Had like, tell me why you
think that this might cause some problems,

1187
01:41:49.279 --> 01:41:57.359
although maybe it won't because of getting
a pass Um. A realtor in Texas.

1188
01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:11.359
A realtor in Texas has created a
new thing, basically a service launched

1189
01:42:11.520 --> 01:42:20.199
by Bob McCraney, who established a
thing he calls Fleet Texas describing it and

1190
01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:30.000
these are his words as an underground
rainbow railroad for LGBTQ individuals and families.

1191
01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:38.800
Let me repeat this again. So
his service is one that he is comparing

1192
01:42:38.920 --> 01:42:45.159
to the underground railroad to help LGBTQ
plus people list their homes in Texas,

1193
01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:47.640
connecting them with an agent in a
different part of the country. These are

1194
01:42:47.640 --> 01:42:53.399
all things that a good real estate
agent will do for you already, regardless

1195
01:42:53.560 --> 01:42:57.680
of who you want to hook up
with. Okay, But the idea that

1196
01:42:57.800 --> 01:43:02.479
you would compare somebody in Texas who
may be frustrated with the politics there,

1197
01:43:04.119 --> 01:43:14.359
with somebody escaping slavery. I would
think that some people would find that a

1198
01:43:14.399 --> 01:43:25.319
bit insensitive. Owned by another person
whipped when they want to families separated,

1199
01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:30.319
you have no say and there's no
penalty for murdering you. Or Texas where

1200
01:43:30.319 --> 01:43:34.680
they love executing people who kill people, just so we know, but or

1201
01:43:35.039 --> 01:43:45.439
in Texas where the teachers can't make
your kids read pornoe books, same thing,

1202
01:43:45.600 --> 01:43:49.079
right, I was just thinking,
I was just I was looking at

1203
01:43:49.119 --> 01:43:51.640
some of these folks who were very
upset. They're just In fact, one

1204
01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:59.319
North Carolina teacher was file was reportedly
fired over claims he taught critical race theory

1205
01:43:59.319 --> 01:44:03.840
in a class room. The teacher, who used to work at a Charlotte's

1206
01:44:03.840 --> 01:44:08.800
school, suing the former employer,
claiming the school bent to parent pressure because

1207
01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:15.760
he taught critical race theory by utilizing
a book called Dear Martin for seventh graders.

1208
01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:26.119
The book, which is about racial
profiling by law enforcement, was deemed

1209
01:44:26.319 --> 01:44:30.319
inappropriate by parents who were wondering what
the heck's going on here, according to

1210
01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:40.000
According to the statement, he believes
that school leaders bent because they just they

1211
01:44:40.119 --> 01:44:45.920
realized they were too close to potentially
violating what lawmakers were working on. Here's

1212
01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:48.520
the deal, because this is the
positioning that I see with these stories.

1213
01:44:50.479 --> 01:44:56.159
How about in the education system,
you all yield on the side of being

1214
01:44:56.239 --> 01:45:00.439
careful and not try to go right
up to the line. You don't need

1215
01:45:00.479 --> 01:45:03.560
to go right up to the line
on stuff. Right when it comes to

1216
01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:10.640
most laws and rules, I understand
that that's your obligation. But as soon

1217
01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:15.640
as you start getting in that gray
area. Sometimes your employer is not going

1218
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:19.000
to have your back because they don't
want to deal with the litigation that's going

1219
01:45:19.079 --> 01:45:23.920
to surround it. But then I'm
sitting there, and then in texas As,

1220
01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.079
somebody can't read a book. Now
they have to create an underground rainbow

1221
01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:34.560
railroad and compare it to people escaping
slavery. Everybody's nuts. Man. You

1222
01:45:34.680 --> 01:45:40.079
need, you'll need a three day
week. It's your heads on straight.
