00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,359
I started to do it. I've
been good all week Channel six in

6
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,480

is Thursday, August thirty one, two

10
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,159
thousand twenty three, so nice to
have you all with me. By the

11
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,879
way, that track we just heard
that is the band ever Felt. That's

12
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,280
called Gave It Away. We opened
the show with something from Norissett, who

13
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,200
joined me from the UK earlier in
the week skyping in. But I also

14
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,239
wanted to play a track from ever
Felt. We were supposed to have them

15
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:05,640
on recently that to reschedule, but
they're gonna be joining us today. They're

16
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,639
gonna be skyping in, so really
looking forward to speaking with them. And

17
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,240
I really love their sound. They've
got a big rock sound that I think

18
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,840
is really cool. So we'll play
another song of theirs this week, get

19
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:19,199
close to the top of the hour, and then then they'll be joining us

20
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
via skype at the top of the
hour. So looking forward to that quite

21
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,919
a bit. So the band is
ever Felt and Uh and they are our

22
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,319

28
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,759
so that we can hear and enjoy

00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,360

00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Tonight is trivia night. This is
what they posted on social media today.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Tonight Trivia at the hop Knot Manchester, New Hampshire is on per usual.

thing, though they do recommend,

37
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,199

00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:06,319
Happy Days. Eric Street joins us
in the Facebook Latchett and says, who

80
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:10,040
thinks of today as the last day
of summer? Last day of August?

81
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,439
Yeah? I do hate, I
hate, Yeah, I hate this day

82
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,839
actually, to be honest with you, the last day of August, because

83
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,199
yes, I do think of it
as the last day of summer. Summer

84
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:25,399
is my favorite time of year.
I love summer and I always hate to

85
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:30,240
see it go away. But yes, and while on the calendar the last

86
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,680
day of summer isn't until what is
at September twentieth twenty first around there it

87
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:41,480
is meteorological summer, is they do
it? I learned this from Al Caprillion,

88
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,279
actually, the great weather man from
New Hampshire. If you're not a

89
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,079
if you're not from New Hampshire,
if you're listening online from somewhere else,

90
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,720
you won't know the reference. Probably
probably you won't. But Al Caprilli in

91
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,720
a very famous weatherman from New Hampshire. High pressure. I can't do an

92
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,079
impression of him. That's the best
I can do. But you know,

93
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,040
if you're having trouble quite placing where
you know the name from. He's the

94
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,279
high pressure guy, but he u. I heard him explain once that meteorological

95
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:15,079
summer is June, July, August, and meteor out meteorological fall, of

96
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,319
course, is September, October November, and so you get the idea.

97
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:24,279
But it's so it's it's simpler that
way, but it does make me sad.

98
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,800
I always hate to see summer go
away. Funny how the night moves

99
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:39,159
autumn closing in. Melanie says,
yes, it's the last day of the

100
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,600
summer season. Oh, Isaac Banks
says, I do impressions of podsy and

101
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,720
fawns. Oh, let's see your
fawns impression. That would be amazing.

102
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,159
Ja Fed says, Oh my goodness, I don't think this is the real

103
00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:00,519
Isaac Banks. He was hacked.
Oh no, is that true? And

104
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:05,159
easyg says celebration. Why are you
celebrating Isaac Banks, says Jason Feederson.

105
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:11,720
It is me Isaac Banks. I
did not get act. Well, that's

106
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:15,480
a relief. Six zero three two
five six z seven. The studio line

107
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,000
is open. Six zero three two
five, six zero seven, and if

108
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,840
you're just joining us, of course
we do have ever felt coming up at

109
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:26,519
the top of the hour, very
cool band. I'm looking forward to speaking

110
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,480
with a couple of a couple of
housekeeping things, and by that I just

111
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,519
mean things that we discussed earlier in
the week that I want to go back

112
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,440
to briefly just kind of revisit.
Actually a few things. One of them

113
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:45,960
is I did share out yesterday on
social media the episode of the Michael Smerconish

114
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:52,000
radio show where Mark Halperin was talking
about sources that he had that they are

115
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,759
telling him that Biden is reconsidering running
for a second term. And so we

116
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:03,840
discussed that quite a bit. Was
it yesterday or the day before? I

117
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,159
lose track? It's all a blur, there's so much. There's always so

118
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,399
much in the news. But so
we talked about that at length, and

119
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,159
oh, yeah, it must have
been yesterday, because I shared out the

120
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,000
link to the show yesterday and John
Hopwood called in about it, and my

121
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:26,360
dad texted me he said, don't
trust Mark Halpern but I realized, so

122
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,200
I shared it out and it's at
the twelve minute mark in the show on

123
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,840
that day's show. Yesterday's show of
Michael Smerconish, where Mark Halpern begins talking

124
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,399
about how, yeah, sources who
say that Biden is considering not running,

125
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,519
I went back and I just as
I was finding where it was in the

126
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,960
show, I re listened to it. When I initially heard halper And talking

127
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,080
about this on Smerconish's show, I
was in the car, So it's not

128
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840
like I, you know, when
I was describing what I heard on the

129
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,360
radio and how I thought it was
pretty significant. I was doing that all

130
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,679
from memory. But in actually going
back and listening to it yesterday after the

131
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,480
show, as I was sharing it
out, I realized that I undersold it

132
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,759
because halper And doesn't just say that
sources are telling him high level sources close

133
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:15,080
to Biden are telling him that Biden
is reconsidering and may not run after all.

134
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,600
Halper And what he actually said was
the decision has already been made.

135
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:26,200
He told Michael Smerconish that actually Biden
had decided that he's definitely not running and

136
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,240
now is trying to figure out what's
the best way to proceed in terms of

137
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,720
making an announcement and when to do
it. And on the one hand,

138
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,320
he doesn't want to look like he
doesn't want it to be a sort of

139
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,279
a coronation as of Kamala Harris.
She'll be the nominee now, you know,

140
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,440
don't want that because you have to
have a process where people vote,

141
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,480
you have to have primaries in theory. But he also doesn't want done to

142
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,879
her what was done to him,
because he actually had some resentment toward Obama

143
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,279
for telling him, Joe and you
know for twenty sixteen, don't run.

144
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,879
It's Hillary Stern, even though you're
the sitting vice president. There was a

145
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,159
lot there, a lot to it. I don't want to rehash the whole

146
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,399
thing, but I did undersell it. And I realized that afterward that when

147
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,720
I went back and listen, Halperin
didn't say Biden was considering not running.

148
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,159
Halperin actually said that sources are telling
and Biden is not running, and that

149
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:24,559
now it's a matter of figuring out
next steps and how to present it and

150
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120
how to manage this process. Because
if that is true, if what Halperin

151
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840
is saying is true, it's going
to be fascinating to see how this plays

152
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,559
out. Now. It's going to
be very very interesting. So I wanted

153
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:39,200
to mention that another thing we discussed
at the beginning of the week that I

154
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,039
wanted to go back to. And
we actually did two segments on this both

155
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,440
Monday and Tuesday, because we talked
about it on Monday and then I had

156
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:52,879
some additional thoughts upon reflecting on it
on Tuesday. But Jenny and I had

157
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,840
a conversation on Monday's show and I
put the clip up on YouTube of that

158
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:03,799
specific segment. We were discussing the
song and the backlash and all the controversy

159
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:11,320
around Oliver Anthony and his song rich
Men North of Richmond, and I did

160
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:16,240
post a link up on YouTube.
It Scott got over six hundred views.

161
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,440
People are really interested in what we
had to say about it. Oh and

162
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:22,840
even more comments than the last I
looked. Let me refresh this, but

163
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:28,080
I wanted to look at some of
the comments because you know, we'll usually

164
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120
get some comments, but people really
had a lot to say about our conversation

165
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:35,480
on the show on Monday. We
talked about the song itself. We played

166
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,000
the song and kind of analyze some
of the lyrics and give our thoughts on

167
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,879
it, and also talked about some
of the backlash now that Oliver Anthony is

168
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,960
receiving from some conservatives because they thought
they thought he was one of them,

169
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,559
and now they're mad, and it's
a whole. It's a whole to do.

170
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,759
Let's see. I want to make
sure I can see all of these,

171
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,360
but I just thought it would be
interesting to just kind of just kind

172
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:07,200
of go over these some of these
comments. Wait, does that everything?

173
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,600
It says? Eight comments? Oh, it's weird. It's like it's hiding.

174
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,080
It's hiding something from me. So
we'll just look at these quickly.

175
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,919
Metal Head twenty three twenty said,
y'all don't get it. It's not shaming

176
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:31,399
fat people or people on welfare.
It's shaming people using welfare funds for non

177
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,440
essentials. I work at a filling
station and you wouldn't believe how many people

178
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,320
come in trying to buy snacks,
energy, drinks, and overall junk food

179
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:43,519
with funds meant for life sustaining necessities. They're taking our tax money hours,

180
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,360
we work ourselves to death to earn
it, and they give it to people

181
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,399
who don't need it, while there
are thousands of people who really need it

182
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,200
and will never see a dime of
it. We're fed up with it.

183
00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:01,519
Part of why I want to go
through these is the comments refle Like I

184
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:05,720
was saying on Tuesday, how you
know, the song is art and you

185
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,120
can take these lyrics and interpret them
however you want to, because that's how

186
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,519
art works. There is no right
or wrong answer necessarily. I mean,

187
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,720
you can go to the source and
ask Oliver Anthony what he meant, and

188
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:18,720
he's kind of explained it. But
but again, ultimately it's up to you

189
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,200
as the listener. Okay. The
next comment, Doug Anderson eight two one

190
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,720
nine said feminist did you hear the
part putting men six feet under pain for

191
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,960
the five foot three glutton? You
two live in an ivory tower, so

192
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,240
apparently this person is very upset with
us. Jenny and I feels we live

193
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,759
in an ivory tower. I wouldn't
want to live in an ivory tower,

194
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:45,039
you know, I mean unless it
had, like I just imagine a lot

195
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,399
of stairs. Maybe if it had
an elevator. But would the elevator itself

196
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,600
also be ivory? Or is it? I don't know, I've never been

197
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:54,279
to an ivory tower. How does
that work exactly? Is it just the

198
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:58,559
exterior that's ivory? Is it ivory
that's been hollowed out? I hope it's

199
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,000
not made from elephant tusks. That
would be horrifying poor elephants. I shan't

200
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:11,000
live in an ivory tower unless it's
rent controlled. Maybe. Let's see Marcy

201
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:19,559
pre Wit one eight three six says
he is not welfare shaming. Karma two

202
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:26,440
point zero three four says the truth
is uncomfortable. Deal with it, guess

203
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,320
because we call out many of the
week whom are lazy, we're bad.

204
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,639
It's not fat shaming. Get over
your feelings, dealing with it. That's

205
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:38,600
what's wrong with our country. Waste
of time here. In no way was

206
00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:45,759
this racial host like y'all are racist. I understood most of that by the

207
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:52,759
way waste is spelled here, w
ai st. I didn't realize that there

208
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,759
was anything in our commentary and our
analysis of the song that might cause someone

209
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:03,599
to think that we're racist. I
don't quite understand that. Let's see John

210
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:08,880
Galt six five three three says fat
shaming. Listen again, he's saying the

211
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,599
welfare is paying to kill people and
they don't care. You are looking at

212
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:18,440
it the wrong way. You must
live in a poor area. I'm sorry.

213
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,440
You must not live in a poor
well. No, of course,

214
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:23,200
we've established we live in an ivory
tower. You must not live in a

215
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,160
poorer area and watch someone buy a
pile of junk food with benefit cards.

216
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,240
He's not fat shaming. He cares
about the people who are obese and unhealthy.

217
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,799
It's about helping people and not slowly
killing them. Listen to it again,

218
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:47,480
stop trying to make it political.
And josh Wagner seven two four three

219
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:53,720
answered replied to that comment with amen, and Joshua Ledford x seven PC also

220
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,480
replied to that comment and said,
oh yeah, brother, call it with

221
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,920
seven x lamation points. So there
you go. There you go. But

222
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,759
we were just trying to have an
open dialogue, an open and free dialogue

223
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,920
about it. That's what we do
on the show. But it's interesting how

224
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,640
passionately people respond and react to that. So there you go. But it's

225
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,960
up on YouTube. If you just
just do a search to sipend Matt Connerton

226
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:22,200
unleashed Oliver Anthony, it'll come right
up. I hope that you give it

227
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,759
a listen. I haven't posted yet
the follow up thoughts that tie that I

228
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:33,599
had on Tuesday. I haven't posted
that clip yet on the YouTube, but

229
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,359
I suppose I will because it seems
to be a subject that people are very

230
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:41,640
interested in. And yes, I
have been learning about how the YouTube algorithm

231
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,400
works and how to use it to
my benefit. Easy oh, easy G

232
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:52,359
in the chat room says summer is
over. When Peter White's birthday on September

233
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,680
eighteen, l O L And sure
enough Peter White is in the Facebook live

234
00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,440
chat and Peter White says, shalom
peeps. Peter White, of course,

235
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,400
host of the Morning Show with Peter
White here at w m H, which

236
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440
you can hear week days from seven
to nine am, with a replay from

237
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:10,640
two to four pm. Right before
this program. Let's see, so I

238
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,759
wanted to mention that the Oliver Anthony
thing and one other thing that I wanted

239
00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:18,519
to kind of put a bow on
that we talked about very briefly this week.

240
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,400
That and then we'll get into and
then we'll get into something new.

241
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:26,039
But we only mentioned it briefly,
and I kind of feel like we gave

242
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:30,079
it short shrift, or I gave
it short shrift because we just didn't have

243
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,680
a lot of time that day.
I don't even remember what day it was,

244
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:37,759
but Joe the Plumber died. You
know, you younger folks might not

245
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,759
remember Joe the Plumber, but he's
the gentleman who approached Barack Obama during the

246
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:48,200
two thousand and eight campaign and had
a question for him regarding his taxes and

247
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,599
so forth, And Joe the Plumber
became this icon. The McCain Palin campaign

248
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:57,359
really kind of used him as a
sort of he sort of became an avatar

249
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:03,119
before that term was really used for
that for this particular purpose for their campaign

250
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,359
in many ways, and there was
a lot of talk of Joe the Plumber

251
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,440
even during the debates. You know, during one of the debates with McCain

252
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,279
and versus Obama, they both took
took points in the debate saying I'm talking

253
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,440
directly to you, Joe Plumber when
I say this, And of course Sarah

254
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,559
Palin was all about Joe the Plumber, which must have been you know,

255
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,119
during her debate with Biden, which
must have been a little confusing for her

256
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:32,799
at times, mentioning Joe the Plumber
because you know, she's talking about Joe

257
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:34,920
the Plumber and there's Joe Biden standing
with her on stage there, so there's

258
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:41,880
two jos. That must have been
confusing for her, but she got through

259
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:49,079
it anyway. Sarah Palin. My
god, she was a candidate for vice

260
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,799
president. If you if you all
forgot, Oh yeah, Sarah Palin.

261
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,599
She was a heartbeat away. Could
have been a heartbeat away had McCain been

262
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:07,240
elected from the residency, Sarah Palin. Anyway, the thing about Joe the

263
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:08,960
Plumber, and this is what I
just wanted to mention is and it's not

264
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,240
an original thought. I heard somebody
else point this out, so I'm kind

265
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:15,759
of regurgitating what I heard someone else
say. But it was just such an

266
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:22,319
interesting observation to me, is that
someone and I wish I knew the name

267
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,440
of the journalist. It was someone
being interviewed on another show, so I

268
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240
don't even know who it was I
was hearing. I was listening to a

269
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:30,799
political talk show in the car,
and I heard, I want to say,

270
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:37,240
his name is Joe de Bonus,
but I kind of a funny name.

271
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,880
That's definitely a joke in there,
but it would get me fired,

272
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:48,240
so we won't go there. But
and he said the observation that he made

273
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,400
was that Joe the Plumber becoming the
avatar that he did at the time really

274
00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:00,720
marked a turning point in our politics
in America because that was the beginning of

275
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:10,559
sort of people recording moments on their
phones and then putting them online somewhere and

276
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,759
then things going viral of that nature, because we hadn't really seen that before

277
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:22,799
that, because that was a totally
spontaneous thing. Joe the Plumber and forgive

278
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:26,240
me, I forget his actual given
name, but he was known colloquially as

279
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:33,440
Joe the Plumber. Him walking over
to Barack Obama at this campaign event,

280
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:38,720
and the question had something to do
with I'm about to be purchasing a business

281
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440
and your tax plan is going to
tax me x amount of money and I

282
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:48,920
don't think it's fair in this and
that, and initiating that conversation with Barack

283
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,279
Obama. That was completely unplanned.
This wasn't some sort of stage managed thing.

284
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,640
It wasn't anything that the campaign had
planned, that the McCain campaign had

285
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,680
planned. You know, we're gonna
send this reman over to talk to Obama

286
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,720
and uh, sort of I don't
want to say confront because it wasn't confrontationally,

287
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,799
just walked over and politely asked him
a question and they started a conversation.

288
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:18,119
But but it was completely spontaneous,
and Joe the Plumber he just I

289
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,119
think the story goes he was he
hadn't even planned on going to the event,

290
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240
and he wasn't an Obama supporter,
but it was near where he happened

291
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,039
to live, and he's out front
playing with his kids or something, and

292
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,599
and he decided to walk over and
ask the question, and somebody caught it

293
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,759
on their phone and recorded it and
uploaded it somewhere, and next thing,

294
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:42,759
you know, it's sort of going
viral. Before that was even a term,

295
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,200
I don't know if we even called
I don't know if we even used

296
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:49,519
that term. Then saying something went
viral, this was, you know,

297
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:55,400
two thousand and eight, so hard
to believe in some ways, but yeah,

298
00:23:55,759 --> 00:24:00,400
two thousand and eight. But the
observation that this journalist may aid was

299
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,880
that moment was a turning point because
we hadn't seen anything like that up to

300
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,160
then. Social media was still relatively
new. I mean, my Space had

301
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,920
been around for a while at that
point, but in terms of social media

302
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,799
being used to record a political moment
and then upload it and then having people

303
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:27,359
sharing it to the extent that it
winds up being reported on and featured in

304
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:33,480
mainstream media and winds up on cable
news you know, sort of jumping almost

305
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,880
like a virus, from social media
to cable news to mainstream news. That

306
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:44,160
was really the first example of something
like that happening in politics. And uh,

307
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:45,319
I mean, you know, don't
get me wrong. Before that,

308
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:51,519
obviously there were instances where someone's caught
on camera saying something or doing something and

309
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:55,720
then it winds up on the news, and it might not necessarily be something

310
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:03,440
flattering, but this was the beginning
of you know, somebody just somebody sees

311
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,839
something happening, they pull out their
phone, they record it, they upload

312
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,559
it to social media, and next
thing you know, everyone's seeing it and

313
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,799
it becomes a viral thing. Looks
like Isaac Banks is still fighting with Jason

314
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,440
Fetterson. In the chatroom, Isaac
says, no hashtag Jason, I'm innocent.

315
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,039
I am on this Facebook now for
me rockin berries sixty five at yahoo

316
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,559
dot com on Facebook of this one
for now rockin Berries sixty five at yahoo

317
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:40,000
dot com. That's uh, what
is that your email address, Isaac Banks?

318
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,079
Or is this a ruse to fool
us? Peter White says in the

319
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,359
chat room, can't wait for tomorrow. I love Fridays. I love Fridays

320
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,599
to Fridays are my favorite day of
the week here at WMNH. Why do

321
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,799
you love Friday's, Peter? I
love Fridays because it's my long day here

322
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:56,880
at the station. I do this
show and then I'm also here for Retrospectrum

323
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Radio with poly C, so it's
a lot of fun. Oh. I

324
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:06,599
know why Peter loves Fridays because it's
love Advice on the morning show, and

325
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:11,440
that is a that is a fun
segment. I'm particularly taken with when Maddie

326
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,920
Juno, uh, the way he
reads the questions, it's it's just funny.

327
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,519
There's something about it that's that's just
funny. Although I have to admit

328
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:26,920
though, occasionally there's been a few
questions that I hear during the love Advice

329
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,359
section where I kind of find myself
blushing a little bit. I'm like,

330
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,720
oh, that's a that's a very
personal problem this particular individual uh is having.

331
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,279
And and then I think, oh, I hope I remembered to uh

332
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,920
hide my mask my email address when
I sent this in. I'm kidding about

333
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,599
that part, of course. Isaac
Banks says, yes, this is my

334
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,759
Facebook email of Rockin Berries sixty five
at yahoo dot com. Well, feel

335
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:59,000
free to us send Isaac Banks an
email if you'd like to at rockin Berries

00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,559

And Isaac is now telling Melanie Lie Liberty,

337
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:10,559
I did not get hacked. All
right, well, very good,

338
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,359
very good. I do want to
oh hello to Chris Rose from the Commonwealth

339
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,559
of Massachusetts, who has joined us
in the Facebook lave chat. If you

340
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,680
would like to give us a call, the studio line is open six zo

341
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:25,920
three two five six six three two
five ozho six zoh seven. And of

342
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,920
course if you're just joining us,
we do have a great band coming up

343
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,960
at the top of the hour.
Ever Felt is going to be skyping in

344
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,799
very very cool band, something that
I wanted to get to this week and

345
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:38,960
we haven't gotten to it yet,
but we will do this right now.

346
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,119
And this is something that I also
heard, by the way, being discussed

347
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,400
on Michael Smerconish's show. People are
going to start thinking I'm working for Smerconish.

348
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,240
I keep mentioning his show. But
this actually knew about before I heard

349
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:53,559
this talked about on his show.
But this is from media. Iight,

350
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,000
oh, Isaac Banks has ever Felt
rocks? Yes, this is from media,

351
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:07,880
cable news shows and networks. Ranked
for bias and accuracy. And I

352
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,119
did hear smirkanash talking about this.
There's this whole you know what. Actually,

353
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,559
I'll I don't think I shared this
out yet after the show, or

354
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,759
or at some point during the show
if I can, I'll share this out

355
00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:25,960
so everybody can see it. But
this media company, actually they you know,

356
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,240
they don't rank opinion based shows obviously, but they rank the cable news

357
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:36,839
networks and individual hosts and so forth, and rank for biased and accuracy.

358
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,160
So bias that one's obvious, accuracy, they rank for are they reporting the

359
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:48,319
facts or are they giving you spin
or leaving details out, etc. So

360
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,960
I thought this is pretty interesting,
So we'll look at this. And this

361
00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:56,519
went up a few days ago,
but like I said, we're just getting

362
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:00,240
to it now. So but it
is something that we talk about a lot

363
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,920
on the show. So it says
her questions related to bias, objectivity,

364
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,160
and accuracy in news hangover every media
outlet, journalist, and news consumer.

365
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:14,200
While nothing new to the news industry, understanding which news sources are reliable and

366
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:19,440
in which direction they lean has become
an increasingly daunting task given the mass proliferation

367
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:23,920
of new outlets and the rise of
info attainment. Furthermore, in a time

368
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:29,200
of bad actors, misinformation, and
a political class blurring the lines between statesmen

369
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:33,839
and media figures members of Congress hosting
cable news shows, for example, the

370
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,119
question of who to trust has never
been more important than for the health of

371
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:45,359
our democracy. A Colorado startup called
ad Fontes or fontests, meaning to the

372
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,559
sources in Latin. Oh, if
it's in Latin, so that would mean

373
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:53,799
if it was more than one fontest, it would be fontie. All right,

374
00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:57,839
Paul, that was a horrendous joke. I feel guilty and ashamed that

375
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,079
I went for it. Here,
which recently raised four point two million dollars

376
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,319
in a first round of financing,
believes it can help answer the question with

377
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,640
its media bias chart, which released
a major data update earlier in the month.

378
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,559
Now, by the way, obviously
this is radio. I cannot show

379
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:18,799
you the chart, but you can
prose the chart online, of course,

380
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,960
but we'll go over some of the
conclusions in this article. The chart rates

381
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:30,400
publications on two separate criteria, reliability
and bias. On one axis. Reliability

382
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:33,920
is charted from zero to sixty four, with anything over forty coming in as

383
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:41,920
very reliable. So it's better to
be higher. It's not like golf where

384
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,920
you want to have a low score. You want to have a highest score.

385
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:48,119
Publications that land somewhere between forty and
thirty are still quite reliable, but

386
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:55,640
include much more analysis or opinion.
Anything below twenty four is characterized as selective

387
00:30:55,759 --> 00:31:00,200
or incomplete, story, unfair,
persuasion, and propaganda the other access points,

388
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,839
the other access plots. Rather,
how far away from zero publications veer,

389
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,559
with zero being purely balanced coverage coverage
and negative forty two being most extreme

390
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:18,640
left and forty two positive forty two
being most extreme right. Okay, so

391
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:22,319
let's get let's get into the important
part here. When looking at the top

392
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,799
five cable news networks, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, Newsmax, and

393
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:37,079
News Nation, CNN and News Nation
lead the pack in reliability with a thirty

394
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,559
nine point three and thirty nine point
two rating, respectively. Now that's interesting.

395
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,079
I don't know much about News Nation. I've seen a little bit of

396
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,000
it. We don't have cable in
our household, Jenny and I we cut

397
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:55,319
the court a long time ago.
We don't have actual cable. But you

398
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,680
know, but I've seen some News
Nation online and I know that's where Chris

399
00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,359
Cuomo does his show now and who
else has a show now on NewsNation?

400
00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:05,559
Is that where Dan Abrams does his
show? I mean, he has a

401
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,599
show on satellite radio, but I
think he also I think he's also on

402
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,839
NewsNation, isn't he? I think? Anyway? So I've seen a little

403
00:32:10,839 --> 00:32:15,160
bit of News Nation, but NewsNation
is relatively new. I mean, I

404
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,799
think it's just within the last couple
of years that that went on the air.

405
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:22,400
So many of you listening probably have
never even heard of News Nation.

406
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:32,119
But according to this it ties basically
with CNN in terms of reliability. MSNBC

407
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:37,559
comes in third with a three point
one five reliability rating, while Fox has

408
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:45,599
a twenty six rating and Newsmax is
in propaganda territory with an eighteen point seven

409
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:53,640
rating. That doesn't surprise me in
terms of buy now. That was reliability.

410
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,960
Again, remember we have reliability and
bias. Reliability being is what they

411
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:02,480
report, factual bias being you know, is it tilted left or right in

412
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:06,720
terms of spin and so forth.
Okay, so in terms of bias,

413
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:13,240
News Nation lands in the middle with
a two skewing it ever so slightly right.

414
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Okay, that actually doesn't surprise me, Isaac Banks, says Matt Connerton,

415
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
I will call in your show.
Oh my, well, you're welcome

416
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:29,160
to six OZ three two five zero
six zero seven. So newstation comes in

417
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,599
into two so just ever so slightly
right. CNN is next with a negative

418
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,079
ten, putting it in the skews
left territory. That doesn't surprise me.

419
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:46,240
Well, MSNBC has strong left rating
of six negative sixteen point eight. That

420
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:52,799
doesn't surprise me at all. And
Fox News charts at strong right with a

421
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:59,680
seventeen point eight three, while Newsmax
is in hyperpartisan right territory with a twenty

422
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,559
one point thirty three. That doesn't
None of that surprises me. And I've

423
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:06,359
always said, you know, very
often when I talk about cable news and

424
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,719
I'm talking about left and right,
you know, I'll often give the examples

425
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,440
of you know, you've got MSNBC
on the left, you've got Fox on

426
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:19,960
the right. So none of that
surprises me, it says here. Notably,

427
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:23,639
Fox News and MSNBC have a wide
range of reliability on the chart,

428
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:29,159
while CNN's programming remains between the thirty
five to forty five area. So in

429
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:35,679
terms of reliability, I guess in
terms of accuracy reporting facts. Both Fox

430
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:42,480
News and MSNBC do very well,
So that's interesting. Ad Fontis founder Vanessa

431
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:46,679
o'tero explained her methodology in a recent
op ed, writing quote, all our

432
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,079
articles and episodes have been rated by
Okay, I don't want to get into

433
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:52,039
that. That's gonna take us too
far into the weeds. We don't need

434
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,639
to know the process. You can
look at the article on your own if

435
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:57,679
you want to know the process.
But I don't want to run out of

436
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,360
time on this, Okay. So
next thing, cable news shows. So

437
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:06,119
now we're talking about individual shows on
these cable news networks. It says here

438
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,960
looking at different hours of cable news
television shows the disparities within cable news networks

439
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,119
when it comes to reliability. The
morning shows, for example, chart as

440
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:22,599
more reliable than the networks as a
whole, while primetime comes in as less.

441
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:31,280
So foxes Fox and Friends chart at
thirty point seven for reliability, higher

442
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:37,639
than Fox's overall twenty six. That
surprises me a little bit. Oh,

443
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,960
but this part does not. Fox
and Friends rates in hyperpartisan right territory for

444
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:49,199
bias, however, with a twenty
one further right than the network overall.

445
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,679
Okay, that part does not surprise
me. MSNBC's Morning Joe is the most

446
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:59,639
reliable of the top cable top three
cable news morning news programs, with a

447
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,079
ray of thirty seven point eight.
CNN This Morning is close behind with a

448
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:10,119
thirty six point eight reliability rating.
Both land in strong left territory in terms

449
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:16,280
of bias. All right, so
now we go to primetime At nine pm,

450
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:22,800
Fox's Hannity scored a reliability rating of
only nineteen point eight, putting it

451
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:30,400
in propaganda territory. Rachel Mattow,
who only hosts on Mondays, scored a

452
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,679
reliability rating of thirty six point seven, while Alex Wagner, who hosts the

453
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,079
rest of the week, charted a
thirty one point two five. Matto landed

454
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:51,000
as more partisan than Wagner with a
negative seventeen point seven and negative wait oh

455
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:59,199
okay, I'm sorry yeah. Mattow
had a negative seventeen point seven and Wagner

456
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,559
a negative fifteen point seventy five.
Hannity was further from the center with a

457
00:37:02,599 --> 00:37:07,760
twenty four point six rating. CNN's
nine PM programming, which only recently got

458
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,800
a permanent host and Caitlin Collins,
was not charted. I guess it's because

459
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,239
it's two new Oh POLYC just joined
us in the Facebook live chat and says

460
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,440
hello, big fan. Poll C, of course, host of retro Spectrum

461
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:22,320
Radio with Paul c Friday nights here
on WMNH, says here at at five

462
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:28,599
pm, cable news is top rated
show. The Five, charted at a

463
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:36,159
twenty five point twenty four for reliability
and a strong right eighteen score for bias.

464
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,679
So strong right again, that doesn't
surprise me if you've never seen The

465
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:45,199
Five. It's four conservatives and one
liberal, so it's you know, of

466
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:52,119
course it tilts strong right. MSNBC's
show Deadline White House was more skewed with

467
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,599
a negative nineteen, but more reliable
at thirty three point three. CNN's The

468
00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:00,920
Lead with Jake Tapper was the hour's
most reliable show with a thirty six point

469
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,360
nine rating and charted at negative fifteen
point two for bias. Overall of the

470
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:15,599
top three cable news networks, Brett
Bear's Special Report landed as hmm, this

471
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:22,519
surprises me. Actually landed as the
most reliable program with a forty four point

472
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:29,599
thirty three and charted as skews right
with a nine CBS Evening News with Nora

473
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,280
O'Donnell, NBC Nightly News with Lester
Holt, and ABC World News Tonight with

474
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,039
David Muir all rated just above Bear
in that order as the most reliable news

475
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:40,800
broadcast in the US, And that
doesn't surprise me that the network news shows,

476
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,079
the nightly network news shows are going
to be less biased than something on

477
00:38:46,519 --> 00:38:53,840
cable news. CNN's The Situation Room
with Wolf Blitzer wasn't far behind Bear,

478
00:38:54,679 --> 00:39:00,559
with a reliable rating of forty two
point zero four in a negative of eleven

479
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:06,440
point six skews left bias. Anderson
Cooper landed with a thirty eight point ten

480
00:39:06,519 --> 00:39:10,760
reliability rating and negative thirteen for bias. Maddow was MSNBC's most reliable show,

481
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:19,199
while Chris Hayes all in scored a
wow scored a propaganda level of twenty one

482
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,079
point seven. Joy Reid fared a
bit better with twenty three point seven reliability.

483
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,480
Read charted a negative twenty point seven
for bias, while Hayes was at

484
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:34,639
eighteen point negative eighteen point four.
Chris Cuomo, the former CNN host who

485
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:39,519
now helms the eight PM hour of
News Nation, landed at negative five point

486
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:45,199
three nine for bias with a thirty
point eighty eight reliability rating. Media eight

487
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,519
Founder and News Nations not okay,
I was right. Dan Abrams is at

488
00:39:47,599 --> 00:39:52,440
News Nation. Now dan Abrams lands
smack dab in the middle on bias,

489
00:39:53,079 --> 00:40:00,280
achieving a zero point two five with
a thirty five point eighty nine reliability number.

490
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:06,679
That doesn't surprise me. Dan Abrams, I think is very balanced and

491
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,840
politically, I think he's probably he
might be a left leaning centrist, but

492
00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:15,199
I don't think he's I would not
describe him as either liberal or conservative.

493
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:21,800
Certainly in this entire article, he's
probably. Well, let's just say,

494
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,960
I'm not surprised that out of everyone
in this article, he seems to be

495
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:31,679
the most reliable and the least biased. And then we're almost at the end

496
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:38,119
of this Fox's Jesse Waters Primetime,
which I guess ostensibly is the replacement for

497
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:45,079
Tucker Carlson Right, charted at a
low low sixteen point ninety one for reliability.

498
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,320
Below even Newsmax is Greg Kelly,
who scored a nineteen point seven.

499
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,800
Laura Ingram charted a twenty five point
seventy one for reliability, but was more

500
00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,360
right word than Waters, scoring a
twenty five point seven to his twenty three

501
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:07,159
point three four bias. So there
you go. So basically everyone, the

502
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:08,760
conclusion that I would come to with
this is, I mean, it's all

503
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:15,599
fairly predictable. But I would say
the only one, the only one on

504
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,480
this entire list who would actually trust
not to be biased in some way would

505
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,519
be Dan Abrams. And that's pretty
much it. So there you go.

506
00:41:23,639 --> 00:41:28,760
But I will share out I will
share out the entire article for you if

507
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,000
you want to look at that,
if you want to see the actual chart.

508
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,159
Oh and by the way, I
went to that website, the ad

509
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:37,280
Fontis website, and it's interactive.
You can put in a specific name and

510
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,679
look up their statistics if you want
to do that, that's an option for

511
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,360
you. We've got a little bit
of time left if you want to get

512
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,039
in with a quick call. We
do have a guest coming up at the

513
00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:50,960
top of the hour, and in
a couple of minutes we're going to play

514
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,760
one of their songs the band has
ever felt. There are a musical guest

515
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,719
today, but the studio line is
open six zero three two five six seven

516
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:01,320
six zero three two five zero six
zero seven. Speaking of we did mention

517
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:09,320
Fox News here is an example of
perhaps some balance America the jerontocracy. Fox

518
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:21,880
News hosts tackled both McConnell's health and
Joe Biden's decline. This is this is

519
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:28,719
a big topic right now, of
course, because well so word circulating word

520
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,840
coming out of Mark Halpern on Michael
Smerconish's show that Joe Biden is not running

521
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:37,920
for reelection after all. And then
Mitch McConnell had another incident of freezing up,

522
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,159
which he's only one year older than
Biden. And I finally heard somebody

523
00:42:44,199 --> 00:42:45,480
else say it today, by the
way, somebody on CNN said it.

524
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:50,239
I didn't catch who it was talking, but I've been saying, look,

525
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,719
all it's going to take for Joe
Biden to lose this election, to have

526
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:58,960
just one incident like Mitch McConnell has
had and it's over. But let's see

527
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:02,320
what's in this clip here. We've
got audio of this. This is what

528
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:07,039
they were talking about on Fox's show
Outnumbered, where they were discussing both McConnell

529
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:12,800
and Biden and what they call the
jerontocracy of the US government where we have

530
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,840
and again I do so hate to
be agist, but you know, we've

531
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,440
been talking about Biden and McConnell.
We've been talking about yesterday when Mike Doyle

532
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:23,119
called, we were talking about Diane
Feinstein. You know, we've talked in

533
00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:30,519
the past about Nancy Pelosi. You
know, we have these very old people.

534
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,519
And by the way, I've often
complained about whenever there's a hearing in

535
00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:38,679
Congress on technology and you have these
people. You know, I've always said,

536
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:44,480
I don't particularly want ninety year old
Chuck Grassley of Iowa to be voting

537
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:49,760
on things that are that involved modern
technology that we all depend on and use.

538
00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:54,119
Although Chuck Grassley is that guy.
Apparently he runs, he jogs every

539
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:59,559
day, and he still seems pretty
sharp mentally, so he might be an

540
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:02,559
exception. He's ninety years old,
but he doesn't quite seem it. But

541
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,679
let's I'm curious here what they were
saying on Outnumbered. Here, I'm going

542
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,559
to play the clip. The questions
are about all senior elected officials, and

543
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:13,719
it's not just age, right,
The whole point is the fitness, the

544
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:19,320
competency. These are real questions because
the American people have seen real problems stemming

545
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,039
out of this act. And whatever
the word is for ninety year old and

546
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,599
up, non engineering. Thank you
so much for those those elected officials.

547
00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:34,400
Got another word for you, jar
intocracy America. The jarintocracy governed by the

548
00:44:34,559 --> 00:44:39,800
elderly and the adult. Kari Jean
Pierre was worse with Jake Tapper when she

549
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,400
said, when we travel abroad,
it's hard for us to keep up with

550
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:49,159
this president. So you know that
should tell you about the level of her

551
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,800
dishonesty when she's behind that podium every
single day. And she also said watch

552
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:59,679
him, watch him. She giggled, well, we do watch him,

553
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:05,519
and it's not about his age.
But it's not about that number. It's

554
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:13,960
about his faculties, his cognition,
and the quite obvious decline and deterioration because

555
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:19,679
every American can watch him. Who
is every American has ever taken care of

556
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:27,039
an elderly relative or parent who was
adult and in decline, regardless of what

557
00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:30,920
you want to call it. I've
taken care of relatives who had dementia and

558
00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:37,119
Alzheimer's disease. And you can see
that this man at eighty six, at

559
00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:42,679
the end of his second term would
not be a self caring adult. Now

560
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:45,000
she got there's more to the clip. We probably won't have time for the

561
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:47,719
whole thing. I agree with most
of what she said. Now I think

562
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,840
it's a little strong at the end
when she says by the end of his

563
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,440
second term, he would not be
a self caring adult. I don't know

564
00:45:53,559 --> 00:46:01,800
that, but I do know,
like I've been saying, seventy percent of

565
00:46:02,159 --> 00:46:09,199
Democrats say they don't want him to
run for a second term. And I

566
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,960
think the I think I saw a
poll that said seventy seven percent. I

567
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,639
think it was in the high seventies. Seventy seven percent of Americans feel that

568
00:46:19,079 --> 00:46:22,519
Biden is too old. But she
is right what she said about Again,

569
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:23,480
I thought I thought it was a
little strong at the end, and I

570
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:30,079
wouldn't presume that because, look,
there are in some ways Biden does seem

571
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:36,079
I mean, he's certainly not overweight, and he does apparently he likes to

572
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:38,679
he does exercise, he works out, he rides a bike, he's you

573
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,920
know, he's physically active, and
there is that mind body connection. The

574
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,480
better you take care of yourself physically, the better off you're going to be

575
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:50,920
as you age mentally. That's just
I mean, I think that's pretty well

576
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,480
been been proven. So I don't
I think she goes too far at the

577
00:46:55,639 --> 00:47:00,639
end of that. But I also
do think that Look, I mean again,

578
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,559
you know, we tried to have
some fun with it, but although

579
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:09,280
a very in a very darkly humorous
way, because it's circumstances around it are

580
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:14,480
so tragic. But his comments the
other day and MAUI trying to be relatable

581
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,079
and saying, you know, I
understand, you know how traumatizing it can

582
00:47:17,079 --> 00:47:21,880
be when you have a fire and
he goes into the thing he's mumbling about

583
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:25,960
the time lightning struck the pond where
he has a house and he almost lost

584
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,559
his corvette and that whole thing,
and it's so it's so cringe and you

585
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:34,480
know, I know that. And
look, he and let's not to say

586
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:37,599
he doesn't have good moments. You
know, the last State of the Union

587
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:39,599
address he had to give, he
seemed pretty fired up. And I don't

588
00:47:39,639 --> 00:47:44,079
know how that happens. I don't
know. If they shoot him up with

589
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:46,360
vitamin B before he goes out there, I don't know. But other times

590
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:55,719
he just seems so tired and just
it's it's not good. It doesn't it

591
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:04,000
does not instill confidence. And some
people go further and they talk about dementia

592
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:07,400
and things like that. I don't. I don't agree with that. But

593
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:13,400
but cognitive decline, and people get
it, people conflate the two. Cognitive

594
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,440
decline is not the same as a
cognitive decline is just something that naturally happens

595
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:24,119
that's not necessarily dementia. I don't
think there's any I mean, but I'm

596
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:28,360
not qualified to make any sort of
a diagnosis obviously, and by the way,

597
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,800
even a doctor isn't qualified to do
that unless they actually get to examine

598
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:37,280
him. So we should be careful
with that. But but so I would

599
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,800
not leap to that conclusion as far
as dementia or anything like that, certainly,

600
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:47,360
but cognitive decline, yeah, I
think so. So we don't have

601
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,760
time for the whole clip. I
gotta get to a song. But oh,

602
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,880
hello to a Hans Smith who joins
us in the Facebook lave chat.

603
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,440
Hello Hans. All right, here's
what we're gonna do. We are getting

604
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,880
close to the top of the hour, so we're gonna show some love to

605
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:02,800
are amazing sponsors. And by the
way, Peter, if you're still listening,

606
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:08,400
congratulations again on the dis cafe sponsorship. That is amazing. Disness Cafe.

607
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,079
I think it's actually Disness Cafe is
how you say it, very cool

608
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:17,119
place, and I was actually in
there for the first time. It was

609
00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:21,440
a few months ago. Now,
I guess where Peter did the was doing

610
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:27,400
the Celebrity Chef event or a celebrity
was it not not celebrity chef but celebrity

611
00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:29,719
restaurant tour? I think it was
what it was called where he got to

612
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,079
pick the menu. And it was
a Friday, so I couldn't stay too

613
00:49:32,159 --> 00:49:36,079
long because it was between shows because
I do this show and then I come

614
00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:39,760
back for Retrospectrum Radio. But I
went down to just say hello and quite

615
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,119
a place. Disness Cafe is a
very very cool place, and I'm excited

616
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:47,280
that that they're coming on to the
station as a sponsor, and of course

617
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,440
a sponsor of the morning show.
I think that's very cool. And yeah,

618
00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:55,119
cool place, cool place, Good
things happening around here, that's for

619
00:49:55,199 --> 00:49:58,599
sure. But here's what we're gonna
do. So we're gonna show some love

620
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,800
to our amazing sponsors, and then
we're gonna play a track. We're gonna

621
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,840

is it just you y'all alone?
Yeah, it's just me. I'm here

you, I got you. Yeah,

661
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,920
I really. I became an instant
fan when I heard when I heard these

662
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:02,320
tracks, really good stuff. You
got a nice, big, big sound,

663
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,360
you know. I think it's really
cool. I like it a lot.

664
00:59:06,159 --> 00:59:07,519
Thank you very much for saying that. That means a lot to us.

665
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:13,480
And I was surprised you guys haven't
been around for that long, right,

666
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,599
it's been about a year according to
your bio. That's right, August

667
00:59:16,679 --> 00:59:21,679
fourteenth. This past August fourteenth was
our one year together. Wow. Congratulations,

668
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:28,320
thanks, Yeah, we are I'll
be honest from Jump Street from day.

669
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,639
You know, we've all been playing
music for a while, a long

670
00:59:30,719 --> 00:59:34,159
time. Even Jacob, even though
he's twenty three, our rhythm guitarist,

671
00:59:34,239 --> 00:59:37,360
he's still been playing since he was
like seven. So yeah, fifteen years

672
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,559
or more for each of us,
you know. But but since the first

673
00:59:39,679 --> 00:59:43,760
of the melting of all of us
coming together, even before Jason was a

674
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,480
part, before we found our bass
player, which he's awesome, but before

675
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:52,360
that happened, our first couple of
practices were you know, the core of

676
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,039
this album, like like we were
able. It just happened, and you

677
00:59:55,119 --> 00:59:58,719
know, we allow the music.
You know, we become you know,

678
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,079
instead of making the music cars,
we are the musics. So we just

679
01:00:02,199 --> 01:00:06,199
try to become the best channel for
what all of us are influenced by and

680
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,360
what we love. So yeah,
so it sounds like it comes easily,

681
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,519
then it does. I mean,
we do put the work in. You

682
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:15,199
know, we're every week, we're
we're hard at in the studio. But

683
01:00:15,639 --> 01:00:19,119
but it it does as far as
like the creation of the songs, like

684
01:00:19,159 --> 01:00:22,519
we're we're actually up to like twenty
originals, but you know, we're windling.

685
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:27,280
We keep Corey and Jacob you've coming
to the to the table with new

686
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,599
music, and that's awesome. So
but so we try to make you know,

687
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,400
at least leave about two or three
hour two close to two hours working

688
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,920
on new material plus working on on
our our album finishing. But uh,

689
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,320
but really what's happening is we're just
allowed to, you know, not let

690
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,639
any one of us get in the
way to dictate what comes next. And

691
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,559
and uh and this album, you
know, most of the songs and the

692
01:00:51,639 --> 01:00:54,920
themes of the of the content all
philosophically driven, all has a purpose.

693
01:00:55,039 --> 01:00:59,679
But at the same time, like
when they were when we were writing the

694
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,440
music and I was I would just
freestyle vocals. We would record everything we

695
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:06,039
did so I would take it home
and listen to it. And most of

696
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,639
the themes or what the driving philosophy
behind each song is came out during the

697
01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:14,880
freestyle process. So it was it's
really just been letting it happen to us

698
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,679
in a way. Now that's great. I mean, when you can be

699
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,559
in a situation where you're working with
other musicians where it just kind of where

700
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,880
it gels and and it just kind
of flows very naturally. When when it's

701
01:01:27,719 --> 01:01:29,920
you know, I mean, I've
been in bands, and I've been in

702
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,320
bands where some bands where it comes
easy, in some bands where it's kind

703
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,840
of a chore. And when it's
kind of a chore, it's you know,

704
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:37,760
then you start to wonder if you're
in the right band, you know

705
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,599
what I mean. So that's true. Yeah, yeah, So this is

706
01:01:40,639 --> 01:01:45,559
a bit left with that opportunity,
you know, coming into the Jacob Crawford

707
01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:49,639
or a rhythm guitarist. I was
in a former band with him called Lomas

708
01:01:49,679 --> 01:01:52,639
back in twenty nineteen, and then
he was in a band with our drummer

709
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,599
before that, and so us three
have been connected. But Corey our league

710
01:01:57,599 --> 01:02:00,960
guitarist, when I met him,
when I got reconnected with Stone or drummer,

711
01:02:01,119 --> 01:02:06,119
I mean, I mean Jacob brought
gave it away into the fire,

712
01:02:07,079 --> 01:02:09,440
the long road, but the reach
what you just played, Corey, you

713
01:02:09,519 --> 01:02:12,960
know, was creating that at home, brought it, brought it. One

714
01:02:13,039 --> 01:02:15,559
day We're sitting in the we got
like a little conference room next to the

715
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:17,840
studio, and he's sitting there and
he's playing on the acoustic to me,

716
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,400
just playing the different parts to me, and as he's doing it, I'm

717
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,000
coming and I just felt the concept
of reach the desperation of all of us.

718
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,480
We all have that feeling, we've
all experienced that, you know,

719
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:31,360
and uh, and we talked about
it and literally we went right to the

720
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,159
next room and it just happened,
and it was like wow, you know,

721
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,440
we obviously took the time to you
know, build it and structure it,

722
01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:42,199
but the core of each song,
I mean, I get chills is

723
01:02:42,239 --> 01:02:45,920
talking about it. It's really it
really seems like it was this is the

724
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,320
way it's supposed to happen, and
it's really You're right. It's a true

725
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,599
blessing to have the opportunity to work
with musicians who are willing to just adapt

726
01:02:53,679 --> 01:02:59,239
and become that blank page or that
channel instead of trying to sometimes we get

727
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,079
in our own way. You know, oh, absolutely absolutely. You mentioned

728
01:03:02,159 --> 01:03:07,079
the album and now is the album
already out and available or is that coming

729
01:03:07,199 --> 01:03:12,639
soon or what's the status soon?
So we've been saying, uh, you

730
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,679
know on a few other interviews I've
done. At first it was July,

731
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,679
and then it was August through and
now we're coming into September. So we

732
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,920
are halfway done with the album as
far as like mastering, mixing, So

733
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,679
we're finishing the last half of the
album, the last five songs on it.

734
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,800
We've got four done. We're doing
two nine song albums. The first

735
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:35,440
album is called Ascension. We don't
know much about the second album yet except

736
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,519
we have some songs for it.
But uh, but yeah, so we

737
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:42,599
are hoping to have it done before
the end of this year. But but

738
01:03:42,679 --> 01:03:45,039
we haven't officially released the album.
We do have some as you as you

739
01:03:45,079 --> 01:03:47,199
know, I sent you those tracks. We do have some that you know,

740
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,639
everything's commercially licensed and all that,
but we haven't officially. We released

741
01:03:51,679 --> 01:03:53,119
song stuff on distroc Kid to give
people a taste of what we're doing.

742
01:03:53,239 --> 01:03:57,239
We've done some live in the studio
and if you look at our Facebook,

743
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,880
our YouTube, we every week try
to post live con from where we're working

744
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,840
on new songs or or playing our
set. Yeah, that's that's really cool

745
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:09,920
that you do that. I like
that. What what goes into the decision

746
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,440
to to record uh, full albums? Because obviously we live in an era

747
01:04:15,079 --> 01:04:16,960
where you've got a lot of different
options in terms of how you do it.

748
01:04:17,039 --> 01:04:19,880
You know, the old the old
template of you know, make an

749
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,760
album, make a full album,
then go on tour or make another album,

750
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,320
and you know, that's that's given
way to Now there's there's as many

751
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,480
ways as people are inventive in terms
of how you approach it. You know,

752
01:04:31,639 --> 01:04:34,639
some some artists just release a lot
of singles and then when they have

753
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,639
enough singles, they put them into
an album. Or is there is there

754
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:44,559
a particular Is there a sense that's
kind of what we're doing in a sense

755
01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:47,400
because we released the lie gave it
away reach, you know, as far

756
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,320
as like sending them out to radios
and different places, so I want a

757
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,599
sense. And they're on District D, they're on Pandora, they're on all

758
01:04:54,599 --> 01:04:57,480
the streaming platforms. So in a
sense, we kind of have done it

759
01:04:57,559 --> 01:05:01,119
that way. But we are also
already he culminated knowing that the first albums,

760
01:05:01,199 --> 01:05:03,639
these nine songs are going to be
the album Ascension. So it's just

761
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,920
that work of art that that,
you know, just so we can have

762
01:05:08,119 --> 01:05:11,320
one central place where you can go
and hear the Ascension album because we have

763
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,880
you know, we already have like
the other album songs ready. We just

764
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:16,760
haven't you know, finished whittling down
to what they're going to become. But

765
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,000
but some of them we have.
But yeah, yeah, you're right,

766
01:05:20,039 --> 01:05:24,960
I mean that that is the truth
on that and that's why whenever I talk

767
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,119
about when it's going to be released
and all of that, we've already officially

768
01:05:28,199 --> 01:05:31,159
released some music. So those songs
are going to be part of that album.

769
01:05:31,239 --> 01:05:36,760
And we're doing everything VI I Y
you know, and uh still learning

770
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,159
learning to be honest. And where
do you record? Do you record in

771
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,639
that in that studio that we see
in the YouTube videos or yes, sir?

772
01:05:45,199 --> 01:05:48,519
Oh wow, so you're you're doing
that all yourselves too? Yes?

773
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:54,000
Oh, excellent, excellent? Is
it is it difficult to? I mean,

774
01:05:54,079 --> 01:05:59,079
obviously the way that the songs uh
come to the band is is uh

775
01:05:59,199 --> 01:06:03,079
that that process is sounds like it's
pretty organic. But what about recording?

776
01:06:03,199 --> 01:06:09,039
Is it difficult to get the sound
that you want recording the way that you're

777
01:06:09,079 --> 01:06:12,840
doing it? Or does that part
also come easy? Sometimes sometimes it is

778
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,239
because you know, it's a small
room there. So one thing we've done

779
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,719
recently, which is what you hear
with Gave It Away and the ones of

780
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,360
the tracks I sent you. One
thing we've done is I've done my except

781
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,280
for Gave It Away. That's a
live take master to mix. But the

782
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,920
lie and reach I actually got in
the booth on the seven B microphone outside

783
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,480
of the music, you know,
but as far as like recording the music

784
01:06:33,599 --> 01:06:36,960
livel we really wanted to capture the
live energy of the songs. Yeah,

785
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,400
you know. So what we've done
is we've actually set me up for that

786
01:06:41,559 --> 01:06:45,000
purpose. We've set me up in
the other room with different with different speakers,

787
01:06:45,239 --> 01:06:48,599
so they can hear me on the
pa in there and lowered a little

788
01:06:48,639 --> 01:06:51,079
bit, and I can really hear
me from the other room. So I'll

789
01:06:51,079 --> 01:06:55,079
be on that gave it away video
you'll see, or I'll come from the

790
01:06:55,119 --> 01:06:59,000
other room into their back back and
forth. Yeah, that's us actually recording

791
01:06:59,039 --> 01:07:02,679
the master cuts so at my vocals
so that we can have the music set

792
01:07:02,719 --> 01:07:05,199
to the level we need to have
it set for for the recording, and

793
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:10,000
I can still be in the other
room doing the vocals and hearing what I'm

794
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,639
doing, so I don't have to
you know, push my vocals at all.

795
01:07:12,719 --> 01:07:15,000
So that and then also that's how
we get the music right. To

796
01:07:15,039 --> 01:07:17,159
make sure we get it right,
because you know, they follow a lot

797
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:19,440
of what I do, and I
follow them, so it's going to keep

798
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,719
that organics. So then I'll go
and get in the booth but I gave

799
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,639
it away. We literally that take
was so good. We didn't have to

800
01:07:27,679 --> 01:07:29,760
I didn't have to get in the
booth on that one. Oh wow.

801
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,519
Yeah, I actually I opened the
show today with that one. Uh yeah,

802
01:07:33,599 --> 01:07:35,719
that's that's a great track, and
well, you know, and then

803
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,639
I wanted to play Reach, and
then at the end of our conversation,

804
01:07:39,719 --> 01:07:42,840
I'm going to play the Lie.
That's a that's a great track too.

805
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,320
Yeah. No, I really like
your sound. It's big, It's kind

806
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,519
of my first thought was when I
heard it, it's got a little bit

807
01:07:48,519 --> 01:07:53,599
of a doom metal kind of vibe
to it. But but I but I

808
01:07:53,639 --> 01:07:56,639
can hear the other well, actually, somebody in the chat room was asking.

809
01:07:56,679 --> 01:08:00,320
In fact, Ian Venom four was
asking about influences. Can you can

810
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,840
you tell me about some of the
influences. Oh yeah, definitely. So

811
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:09,320
interesting that you said that about about
the doom metal because Nicole Bryce from Mixed

812
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,960
Alternative Magazines, she wrote a phenomenal
article on us, and she said the

813
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,399
same thing, or like Southern sludge
rock. I really like that, you

814
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,880
know, and yeah, I love
she said. She said, Actually I'll

815
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,520
tell you exactly to give you a
really good exp but I'm also going to

816
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,920
tell you some influences, but I
actually I had the copy. I had

817
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,319
to put this on my clipboard because
as many times as I've tried to describe

818
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:32,680
our music, she did a way
better job than me, she said,

819
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:39,359
drawing inspiration from many genres and artists. Ever, Felt music is characterized by

820
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,960
its heavy guitars, emotional and powerful
vocals, and introspective lyrics, with guitar

821
01:08:44,119 --> 01:08:47,880
solos emanating like straight Southern sludge rock. The sound coming from these talented musicians

822
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,880
and is sure to resonate with many. One might even say they have created

823
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:57,720
the perfect soundtrack for the apocalypse,
the hands of blues, metal, post

824
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,880
punk, goth and psychedelia. So
yeah, I love that description. Some

825
01:09:02,039 --> 01:09:06,720
of my influences as a vocalist and
a writer is definitely you know Chris Cornell,

826
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:12,760
Lane Staley, Scott Wild and Maynard, Jonathan Davis, uh Ozzie,

827
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:18,800
you know, Jim Morrison, CCR, Juhn, Fogerty Uh. I named

828
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,840
a lot of those just without their
bands because they're in multiple bands. But

829
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,720
as a vocalist, those are some
of my greatest influence. Now, lead

830
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:33,640
guitarist Corey is more influenced by David
Gilmour, uh Stevie Ray Slash Jacob two

831
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:40,600
on on on that take, and
I know that Stone our drummer. He

832
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:46,319
loves Motorhead Lemmy, I personally,
you know, think that we've really and

833
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,600
and Jason are bass player. He's
more of a nineties baby, which I

834
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:54,239
am too. I'm I'm I'm huge
on you know. STP. Alison changed

835
01:09:54,239 --> 01:09:59,560
the whole nineties grunge movements important to
us, important to all of us,

836
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,640
for sure. But when I try
to put my finger on what we bring

837
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,319
to it's like a It's like a
classic rock sound with a modern take.

838
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:11,439
Almost. We almost have like A
But then you have songs like Reach and

839
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:15,760
Gave It Away, which really to
me have like a corn and STP vibe.

840
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,640
Yeah both, you know. I
really like the vocals I do on

841
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:23,840
Reach really reminds me of almost sometimes
vold Beat a little bit too late.

842
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Yeah, oh oh, somebody she
said that we really remind her of,

843
01:10:31,079 --> 01:10:34,840
but I can't remember. We we
we we lost you for about brother for

844
01:10:35,239 --> 01:10:39,279
we lost you for about seven or
eight seconds there you mentioned Volbeat and then

845
01:10:39,319 --> 01:10:41,920
I I you kind of dropped out
there. I didn't hear what you said

846
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,920
after that Oh no, no,
I was just trying to think of there

847
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
was a band that she had brought
up when we were on the Girl Out

848
01:10:48,039 --> 01:10:51,319
of Louisiana. I can't remember what
she said. I had never heard of

849
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,000
him, but but when we I
went and listened to him after she said

850
01:10:55,039 --> 01:10:57,239
it, and I was like,
oh, I mean, oh, okay,

851
01:10:57,359 --> 01:11:00,239
since gotcha? Gotcha? But really
I think we sound like ever felt,

852
01:11:00,319 --> 01:11:03,479
you know, yeah, yeah,
well, and I think there's something

853
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:08,039
timeless about this genre anyway. You
know. Obviously you can hear a lot

854
01:11:08,079 --> 01:11:12,159
of influences from the past, but
but I think it also sounds uh you

855
01:11:12,239 --> 01:11:15,479
know that again. I think when
you've got a big sound it there's something

856
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:20,000
just timeless about it, partly because
not everyone can pull that off, so

857
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:26,800
it doesn't so you can you can
do something that doesn't sound like something like

858
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:32,880
there's not another band currently that I
think you guys sound like so so you

859
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:38,399
So you're kind of filling that space, which is really cool because I think

860
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,079
the thing, especially like a great
example at the end of Reach, the

861
01:11:42,239 --> 01:11:45,760
way the way you know, the
sustain on the guitar and the way it

862
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,479
ends with that in that long part
with the sustain and just a little bit

863
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:54,720
of feedback. You know. That's
just so cool. And I think that

864
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:59,600
there's something about that that's just sort
of timeless, partly because you don't hear

865
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,159
it all the time, so when
you do hear something like that, it

866
01:12:01,239 --> 01:12:04,680
sounds fresh. You know. Wow, Man, that that that means a

867
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,239
lot to us. Man. I'm
pretty sure the guys are listening in right

868
01:12:08,239 --> 01:12:10,920
now, so good good, they're
they're probably smiling as big as I am.

869
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,840
That really means a lot of brother, That's cool. I'm glad.

870
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,560
Well, now, where are you
guys from southern Illinois? We're located in

871
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,880
Johnston City, Illinois, about five
hours from Chicago and about two and a

872
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:26,159
half hours from Saint Louis, Missouri. Okay, yeah, I I spent

873
01:12:26,279 --> 01:12:30,239
the summers growing up in Illinois.
Moo. Yeah, Well, my mother

874
01:12:30,399 --> 01:12:33,199
is from the Chicago area originally.
So when I was a kid and my

875
01:12:33,319 --> 01:12:38,159
parents split up, my mom moved
back to Illinois and so I would go

876
01:12:38,279 --> 01:12:41,960
and spend the summers out there with
her. So yeah, it's uh,

877
01:12:42,119 --> 01:12:45,640
but you're you're not. I assume
you're not from Illinois originally, are you?

878
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,159
You don't you don't know, I'm
not no, originally I was.

879
01:12:48,319 --> 01:12:53,039
I was born in Clearwater, Florida. Okay, but I but I lived

880
01:12:53,039 --> 01:12:56,600
all over the Eastern United States growing
up, you know, I I you

881
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,800
know, I had a single mother
and every type of use you can imagine,

882
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,600
the whole most dysfunctional childhood. Ever, like when I was eleven,

883
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,319
was putting an orphanage. So if
that it was kind of crazy. But

884
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,520
I lived in like nine different states
before I was eleven. So wow,

885
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:15,439
I say the Eastern United States seaboard. Yeah, yeah, but you know

886
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,039
all of us are from different places
too, Like I know Stone is from

887
01:13:19,079 --> 01:13:24,960
Illinois. I think that so was
Corey Jacob. I think I can't remember,

888
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,119
you know, I wish they were
here. I can't remember. I

889
01:13:27,279 --> 01:13:29,760
know the two of us, the
other two there's two of us that also

890
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,520
aren't from here. But but it's
crazy. What brought me to the Illinois

891
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:38,439
area six years ago? I met
my wife, Christina. I met her

892
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:42,199
online six years ago. I was
living in Evansville, Indiana, and that

893
01:13:42,319 --> 01:13:46,000
brought me to this area. And
you know the name ever Felt, the

894
01:13:46,039 --> 01:13:48,840
band ever Felt, the reason that
it's called that. I had my best

895
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:53,920
friend, Charles linger Felt. We
had a project called Anger Fell right before

896
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,479
he passed away from cancer in twenty
twenty one, and so I changed the

897
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,920
name to ever Felt because I wanted
him to be forever felt through the music.

898
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,760
And and then and then it became
about all of us as a band,

899
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,159
wanting everyone to forever feel our music
in their hearts and their minds and

900
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,279
and hopefully it's something that you you
know, it gets stuck in your head.

901
01:14:12,319 --> 01:14:15,279
We want we want you to never
forget. Yeah. Yeah, no,

902
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,319
that's really cool. And I'm sorry
to hear about your friend. Uh,

903
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:24,439
I think that's that's that's horrible.
But were you did you play music

904
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,159
with him for a long time and
in the other band, yeah, on

905
01:14:27,319 --> 01:14:30,600
and off that project, particular Anger
Felt. We were only we wrote that

906
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,199
album and did that project and then
we went you know, he had Lukim.

907
01:14:34,239 --> 01:14:38,319
He didn't tell me he had cancer. And then he told me we

908
01:14:38,399 --> 01:14:41,039
had shows booked down in Miami with
our new album and we were gonna go

909
01:14:41,119 --> 01:14:43,399
down there and we had and none
of that was true. We didn't end

910
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,199
up going down there and booking shows
though, But he just wanted to play

911
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:51,600
music with me out there on tour
one last time. And he and then

912
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,800
when we got back. I took
him straight to the hospital and we got

913
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,800
back. He was telling me that
it was something that he knew what it

914
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,920
was, but he was telling me
he didn't know. A long story.

915
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,279
Sort a month later he passed away, and uh, oh wow. And

916
01:15:02,359 --> 01:15:05,119
I have to say, you know
when when that all happened. But we

917
01:15:05,199 --> 01:15:10,199
played music together from the time I
was nineteen. My first album called Clinch

918
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:14,800
that I ever my first original album
was with Charlie when I was nineteen and

919
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,600
he was like twenty five. He
had just came from Antioch, California,

920
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:23,159
played a seventh string. He's a
real badass. And and the song River

921
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,880
actually was a song that came from
Anger Felt. That's the only song I

922
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,479
brought over to this new with the
new guys and everything. But but yeah,

923
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,399
thank you for asking about him then, and thank you for for your

924
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:38,079
candolences. That's awesome. Yeah,
yeah, it is. So is any

925
01:15:38,119 --> 01:15:41,640
of that music from from anger Felt? Is any of that online somewhere?

926
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,079
The river, the song River is
the song. The song River was about

927
01:15:45,119 --> 01:15:47,520
coming back to the source. Now
that is a song. Now you can

928
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,520
go, you can find. We
do have a couple of songs that are

929
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:56,159
still up on Instagram with the anger
felt they were really good. It's actually

930
01:15:56,199 --> 01:15:59,399
live video from where we played our
show together in Miami. Oh wow,

931
01:16:00,039 --> 01:16:02,520
I can even send it to if
you want to check it out. Yeah,

932
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,479
it's really good. Curious a couple
of songs on there, and one

933
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,560
called Heaven's Side, another one called
here I Am that we did and and

934
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:14,000
uh and yeah it was. They're
really they're really good videos. But but

935
01:16:14,079 --> 01:16:18,439
yeah, I would love to ill
like some more of the music because I

936
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,359
still have that music, you know, I would love to bring it,

937
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,680
but really I ain't. I an't
can't get him song in edgewise, Corey.

938
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,359
I'll tell you what, man,
it's a true blessing that have so

939
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,479
much music to to to work with. You know, every single every single

940
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,479
practice is like it's the reason I
sleep good at night. You know.

941
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:39,039
Yeah, yeah, no, that's
that's great. That's great. So the

942
01:16:39,159 --> 01:16:41,319
album, now, the album that
you're working on, now, do you

943
01:16:41,399 --> 01:16:44,319
have any kind of a I know
we talked about it, I can't remember.

944
01:16:44,359 --> 01:16:45,800
You said it kept getting pushed off, but I can't remember. Do

945
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,159
you have a current eta on when
that might be out or is it kind

946
01:16:49,159 --> 01:16:53,600
of up in the air. It's
a little up in the air because only

947
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,760
because we've got another show coming up, and then we got a festival,

948
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,319
and then we got October November open
right now, but we are looking to

949
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:01,800
try to book maybe one or two
more shows before the end of the year.

950
01:17:02,039 --> 01:17:04,159
So now I'm just saying we'll have
it done before the end of the

951
01:17:04,279 --> 01:17:08,680
year because that'll give us a little
room to work with it. And we've

952
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,159
only got five songs left to do. But I don't want to, you

953
01:17:12,239 --> 01:17:14,840
know, put any there's really no
pressure. I mean, like you said,

954
01:17:15,079 --> 01:17:17,800
not many people are releasing whole albums
now anyway, so we're kind of

955
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,159
taking our time making sure we get
it right. By the way, what's

956
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:24,479
the music scene like in your area? Are there a lot of places to

957
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,920
play? Are there a lot of
bands around there? There there, there's

958
01:17:28,039 --> 01:17:30,920
there's a few bands and there's some
places to play. But for our hard

959
01:17:31,039 --> 01:17:33,800
rock sound, we you know,
we we've booked a festival, we booked

960
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:38,760
a couple of venues, but around
here it's really a lot of rockabilly and

961
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,359
punk music. So we're kind of, you know, we're kind of the

962
01:17:42,399 --> 01:17:45,600
new guys on the block, so
we're booking shows around here, but really

963
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,800
we're we're looking to book festivals and
fairs and anywhere where there's a big stage.

964
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:55,039
There's five of us. We bring
our own production literally everything we have,

965
01:17:55,159 --> 01:17:58,439
like every I mean we actually bring
too much. I think we have

966
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:02,279
on RV trailer, the whole deal. So if anyone is looking to book

967
01:18:02,359 --> 01:18:06,840
a live perform especially in the Midwest
area, really we really want to play

968
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,000
our music. So as long as
our gas covered and we got a place

969
01:18:10,039 --> 01:18:13,279
to Parker RV, We're down.
Yeah, Yeah, excellent, excellent,

970
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,880

Very cool. So in a moment,

985
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,399
Adam, I'm gonna go I'm gonna
go ahead and play this track the

986
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:16,359
Lie Anything. This sounds like just
from the even just from the title,

987
01:19:16,399 --> 01:19:19,039
it sounds like there might be a
story behind us anything we should know about

988
01:19:19,079 --> 01:19:24,039
this before I play it. Yeah. So this song is you'll as you'll

989
01:19:24,079 --> 01:19:26,279
know in the very guys, you'll
hear in the very beginning, it's something

990
01:19:26,319 --> 01:19:29,560
you've probably heard somewhere before. This
song is about the lies that the people

991
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,760
in power, the globally elite,
you know, telling all of us in

992
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,479
society, the divisions of the republican
and the democrat, basically all of the

993
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,399
lies that are told to us on
a daily basis to keep us in the

994
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,960
boxes, in the cages that they
create for us. So it's really about

995
01:19:45,199 --> 01:19:47,159
about that. Excellent, excellent,
Well, it's the right show for it.

996
01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:50,399
We talked about that kind of stuff
here, so very good, very

997
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,319
good. I was I was a
little hesitant. I was like, oh

998
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,920
no, no, too much.
But yeah, now you don't have to

999

1063
01:29:02,079 --> 01:29:05,960

1066
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,119
in the past you've posted about your
brother Mike Banks. How are the

1069
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,760
things right for him for him,
right right. I saw something in there

1070
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:33,600
one day about he had h put
the remote control for the television in a

1071
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:40,520
strange place or something. It sounded
like pandemonium. Yeah, basically is and

1072
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:47,000
it's true because right now I am
just you know, feel that we're good.

1073
01:29:47,039 --> 01:29:50,239
Now, we're cool. You know, he you know went, he

did he quit? Does he wanted

01:30:31,119 --> 01:30:35,279

1084
01:30:35,399 --> 01:30:40,039

part time job. So right now my

01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:43,520
I've seen Saint Pieu's church mentioned in
the Facebook live chat. I beg you

01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,119

1105
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:10,640
Yes, please do uh you know, we do we do like to

1106
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:15,159
feature original music on the show.
Absolutely, all right, great and keep

1107
01:32:15,239 --> 01:32:17,800
up with your show and I'll talk
to you. I'll talk to you a

1108
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:23,000
Nord time. All right, Isaac
Banks, thank you so much. YouTube

1109
01:32:23,119 --> 01:32:27,079
peace out all right? YouTube Byeyee. All right. That was Isaac Banks

1110
01:32:27,199 --> 01:32:32,199
from Greensboro and North Carolina. Now
Jay fed in the chat room. He's

1111
01:32:32,239 --> 01:32:36,039
always trying to make trouble with our
friends in Greensboro, he says, I

1112
01:32:36,199 --> 01:32:41,600
think this is Mike Banks, not
Isaac Banks. Now that would be can

1113
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:46,199
you believe that? I can't believe
that brothers would would try to make trouble

1114
01:32:46,279 --> 01:32:50,399
for each other, like like one
calls the show pretending to be his brother.

1115
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:55,600
Uh, that would just be That
would be pandemonium. That would be

1116
01:32:55,680 --> 01:33:00,239
anarchy. That would be uh,
that would be like Caine is Able type

1117
01:33:00,279 --> 01:33:04,920
stuff, a biblical reference. Because
of course Isaac will be performing or oh

1118
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:09,359
no, I'm sorry. He's going
to a cookout at Saint Pius Church in

1119
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:15,640
Greensboro, North Carolina. Melanie Liberty
is asking if Mike, if Mike Pelapita

1120
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,319
from Queen City Cabinetry is going to
show up tomorrow night. He sure is

1121
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:24,479
absent a lot. She says,
I think he only missed one week in

1122
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:30,840
fairness, but of course, before
you know, there was a time when

1123
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,239
he was absent for several months when
he first joined the show, and then

1124
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,520
wasn't able to be there. No, but I'm sure, I'm sure it

1125
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,720
will be seeing him, I hope. So. I always enjoy getting to

1126
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:44,399
hang out with Mike from Queen City
Cabinetry on Friday nights for Retro Spectrum Radio

see. Oh wow, it's already almost

1141
01:35:05,399 --> 01:35:12,479
quarter of I just saw something that
I had not planned on talking about,

1142
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:17,039
but this really jumped out of me. Here governor of Florida. You might

1143
01:35:17,079 --> 01:35:20,119
have heard of him, Ron De
Santis, or as Trump likes to call

1144
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:26,720
him, Ron to Sanctimonious, or
round sanctus or my personal favorite, tiny

1145
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:36,600
d Well. Apparently there's a new
pole where Da Santis actually beats Trump in

1146
01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:43,399
his quest for the Republican nomination.
Says here, This is from media to

1147
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:48,880
Santa's beats Trump in Young Republicans twenty
twenty four straw pole that immediately went nuclear

1148
01:35:49,199 --> 01:35:54,479
online. Oh my goodness, says
here, Florida Governor Ron de Santa's beat

1149
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:59,560
Republican front runner Donald Trump in a
recent straw poll conducted by Young Republicans.

1150
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:02,960
That's the song, isn't it,
David Boy? They were the Young Republicans

1151
01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:12,000
Young Republicans Resulting in chaotic reactions from
all over right wing social media. The

1152
01:36:12,159 --> 01:36:16,399
Young Republicans organization and that's the official
name of the organization, The Young Republicans,

1153
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:23,079
released the results of a straw poll
taken from various members of their organization

1154
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:29,560
showing to Santists narrowly beating the former
president in the GOP primary. Most national

1155
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:33,239
average polls, according to Real Clear
Politics, shows Trump beating to Santists by

1156
01:36:33,239 --> 01:36:38,840
a double digit lead, including in
key early voting states such as New Hampshire

1157
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,079
and Iowa. And by the way, you know, if you're a regular

1158
01:36:42,159 --> 01:36:45,479
listener, you already know this.
But I say all along, I refer

1159
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:51,199
to Trump as the as the presumptive
presumptive nominee, because I'm absolutely certain he

1160
01:36:51,279 --> 01:36:59,359
will be the Republican nominee. All
these criminal indictments they certainly harm him as

1161
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:03,800
a general election candidate, but they
also virtually assure that he definitely will be

1162
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:13,720
the Republican nominee. It says here, Okay. The organization tweeted this out

1163
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:18,000
this afternoon. This is breaking news. This is what they tweeted. Straw

1164
01:37:18,119 --> 01:37:26,119
pole results are in Why ours Young
Republicans Twitter only gives you so many characters

1165
01:37:26,399 --> 01:37:31,000
two hundred forty. So why rs
across the country participated in a straw pole

1166
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:39,359
at why r NC Dallas. I
assume that's Young Republicans National Convention, and

1167
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:45,680
it's clear that why rs are divided
between two contenders. Ron de Santis comes

1168
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:49,119
in with thirty six point six percent
of the support, closely followed by Donald

1169
01:37:49,159 --> 01:37:56,640
Trump at thirty five point four percent. The organization tweeted, now that's I

1170
01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:00,199
mean, when you account for a
margin of error, I would say that

1171
01:38:00,359 --> 01:38:04,279
is a statistical tie. But if
that's any indication, it might be the

1172
01:38:04,399 --> 01:38:10,319
younger Republicans would like perhaps a younger
nominee. I mean, Trump isn't as

1173
01:38:10,359 --> 01:38:13,199
old as Biden, but he's a
few years He's only a few years.

1174
01:38:13,239 --> 01:38:15,800
Shy, what is Trump? Seventy
seven? I think Ron de Santis is,

1175
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:24,600
you know what is he? Forty
five forty six. The negative backlash

1176
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:30,840
to the tweet from MAGA activists was
quick, as Trump supporters such as Laura

1177
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,560
Lumer. Oh as a Trump supporter
such as Laura Lumer, I don't know

1178
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:40,439
why I always stumble on her name, tweeted this, this is Laura Lumer.

1179
01:38:41,279 --> 01:38:46,640
Future uniparty shills coming out strong for
a failed candidate who was just rejected

1180
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:55,159
by his own pack today for being
too much of a rookie. Laura Lumer

1181
01:38:55,479 --> 01:39:00,560
taking this a little seriously apparently,
Oh, there's a graphic here, It's

1182
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,760
got, it's got. Uh,
okay, here's here's uh. Let's go

1183
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:08,680
through the numbers again. This is
from the Young Republicans. Straw Pole,

1184
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:13,760
so De Santis thirty six point six, Trump thirty five point four, Vek

1185
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,319
Ramaswamy nine point one. See,
if the Young Republicans were going to go

1186
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,680
for a young Republican, they would
go for Vvek what is he? Thirty

1187
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:26,479
eight? But he got nine point
one, Nikki Hayley seven point five,

1188
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:41,159
Tim Scott five point five, someone
else six percent? Yeah, Laura Lumer

1189
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:47,840
very upset. Uh. Gavin Mario
Wax At Gavin Wax. I don't know

1190
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,039
who this person is, but I
do think Wax is kind of a fun

1191
01:39:51,159 --> 01:39:57,199
last name. I've seeing about changing
my name. I've seen about changing my

1192
01:39:57,279 --> 01:40:00,000
name to Matt Wax. It does
have it's pretty good. Huh, Matt

1193
01:40:00,039 --> 01:40:03,520
Wax unleashed. Oh, I do
like the sound of that. But the

1194
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:08,800
only thing that stands between myself and
doing that is for one thing, I'm

1195
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,159
kind of used to my name as
it is. And the other thing is

1196
01:40:11,319 --> 01:40:14,399
is probably paperwork involved in changing your
name. I don't have time for that.

1197
01:40:15,399 --> 01:40:20,000
I had got time for that.
Gavin Wax tweeted this no statement on

1198
01:40:20,119 --> 01:40:26,000
the politicized arrest of President Trump,
but they had time to publish a pro

1199
01:40:26,199 --> 01:40:32,159
to Santa strap Pole with no sample
size. Oh, mister Wax is taking

1200
01:40:32,199 --> 01:40:38,800
this very seriously. He's very upset. Oh. Roger Stone is very angry.

1201
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:54,880
I can't even read what he tweeted. It's profane. This is so.

1202
01:40:55,000 --> 01:41:00,720
There's an organization called Washington DC Young
Republicans, which appear currently a set

1203
01:41:00,359 --> 01:41:09,359
from a separate from the Young Republicans. Washington DC Young Republicans tweeted out,

1204
01:41:10,279 --> 01:41:15,359
this proves how out of touch the
entire why r NF is. What is

1205
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:28,199
y r NF Young Republicans National Frontier? I don't know. We proudly endorse

1206
01:41:28,359 --> 01:41:31,279
Donald J. Trump for president.
Rhinos will weep. Yes, that's the

1207
01:41:31,319 --> 01:41:34,680
thing if you so, they're saying, if if you don't support Trump,

1208
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:38,760
you're a rhino. But that's that's
why I always say the Republican Party,

1209
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:42,680
it's become such a cult of personality
around Donald Trump. You could be.

1210
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:45,640
I mean, I would argue that
Ron de Santis is actually to the right

1211
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:50,439
of Donald Trump. He's always trying
to out conservative Trump. But if you

1212
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:55,880
support to Santis, you're a Rhino, not because you don't support Republican policies,

1213
01:41:56,279 --> 01:42:06,199
because you support somebody other than Trump. Oh, let's see the rest

1214
01:42:06,279 --> 01:42:10,359
of these or any of these worth
reading any I don't know if the ones

1215
01:42:10,359 --> 01:42:17,960
I even already read were Oh Summer, there's there's some supportive tweets two,

1216
01:42:18,319 --> 01:42:27,399
but I don't think they're really worth
reading anyway. But that's the young Republicans

1217
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,439
straw Pole and it. You know, obviously it doesn't mean much. But

1218
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:42,079
let's see. Oh, one other
I'll tell you what. We'll leave you

1219
01:42:42,159 --> 01:42:44,560
with, just one other quick thing
because we are almost out of time.

1220
01:42:45,119 --> 01:42:48,079
But earlier in the show, I
was trying to put a button on some

1221
01:42:48,159 --> 01:42:53,159
things that we discussed earlier in the
week, or or just even expand on

1222
01:42:53,239 --> 01:42:55,640
them a little bit. And one
thing that Jenny and I did talk about

1223
01:42:55,680 --> 01:43:03,840
two on Monday was when artists.
This was in the discussion about Oliver how's

1224
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:14,319
his name now? The Richmond North
of Richmond guy can spacing on his last

1225
01:43:14,399 --> 01:43:19,520
name Anthony, Oliver Anthony, Sorry, it took me a second when we

1226
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,399
were talking about that. We're also
talking about the history of because Oliver Anthony

1227
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:27,560
was upset about his song being used
at the debate the other night, and

1228
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:34,079
we briefly touched on there's a long
history of songs being used for political purposes

1229
01:43:34,159 --> 01:43:41,159
where the artist objects to the song
being used in that way, and in

1230
01:43:41,279 --> 01:43:45,800
some instances we'll even get a cease
and assist letter sent to the individual using

1231
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:53,359
the song or the campaign of the
person using the song. And the latest

1232
01:43:53,399 --> 01:43:59,800
example of this Vake Ramaswamy. This
is from media I Vake drops eminem lyric

1233
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:04,319
to throw shade at Shady after lawyer's
beef over wrapping candidate. If you didn't

1234
01:44:04,319 --> 01:44:06,479
see it, it's on YouTube,
you can see it. It might be

1235
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:14,399
cringe, depends on your point of
view. During the Iowa State Fair where

1236
01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:20,479
the candidates go and try to pretend
like they're regular normal humans by interacting with

1237
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:30,600
actual regular normal humans. Vake actually
rapped on stage barely wrapped in college,

1238
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,119
and he says his videos of him
somewhere rapping, but there is video of

1239
01:44:33,199 --> 01:44:39,760
him rapping recently. The song Lose
Yourself by Eminem. He broke into a

1240
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:44,520
rap and it's it is, it's
something, but it says here. This

1241
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:49,279
is from Media. Republican presidential candidate
VAC Ramaswamy dropped an eminem lyric on The

1242
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:54,079
Rapper in response to a legal move
to prevent him from using the rappers music

1243
01:44:54,159 --> 01:44:59,840
on the campaign trail. Ramaswamy has
made a karaoke style performance of eminem raps,

1244
01:45:00,319 --> 01:45:02,680
as he did when he broke into
a live rendition of the hit Lose

1245
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:08,199
Yourself at the Iowa State Fair,
a well known part of his campaign persona.

1246
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:15,159
But eminem licensor BMI let Ramaswamy know
that they don't stand his performances by

1247
01:45:15,239 --> 01:45:20,279
sending a cease and desist letter on
Monday that warned they would quote consider any

1248
01:45:20,319 --> 01:45:26,560
performance of the eminem works by the
vague twenty twenty four campaign from the state

1249
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:30,920
forward to be a material breach of
the agreement for which BMI reserves all rights

1250
01:45:30,239 --> 01:45:36,680
and remedies with respect there too unquote. That did sound very loyally. On

1251
01:45:38,079 --> 01:45:44,760
Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports, host Andrea Mitchell asked about the beef,

1252
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:47,800
and Ramaswamy said he would abide by
the rapper's wishes, but Ramaswamy used

1253
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:51,920
an Eminem lyric to suggest the rapper
was not being true to himself by opposing

1254
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:58,119
the use of his music and posing
himself as an early Eminem style renegade whom

1255
01:45:58,239 --> 01:46:04,640
Shady may someday come to agree with. So Andrea Mitchell said, well,

1256
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:09,680
actually, is there a clip here? Oh, I'll play the audio of

1257
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:15,960
it here. It's only it's brief, it's under a minute. Well,

1258
01:46:17,359 --> 01:46:20,600
sorry, it's my first day.
Okay, about Eminem. They've sent you

1259
01:46:23,159 --> 01:46:30,279
now there's an echo. Hang on, Sorry, it's my first day.

1260
01:46:30,359 --> 01:46:41,720
Okay, it's still doing it.
You're hearing my show through. Oh all

1261
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:46,479
right, one more time. Here
we go, Here we go, Here

1262
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,920
we go. Ysk you finally about
Eminem. They've sent you a cease and

1263
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:55,279
assist through the music licensing company to
stop using lose yourself on the trail.

1264
01:46:55,760 --> 01:47:00,800
Have you agreed to move on?
Yeah? Look, I think that I'll

1265
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,319
respect his wishes, but I would
just say, well, the real slim

1266
01:47:02,399 --> 01:47:05,520
Shady please stand up. Eminem in
his rise, used to be a guy

1267
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:10,239
who actually stood up to the establishment
and said the things that the establishment didn't

1268
01:47:10,239 --> 01:47:13,039
want him to. Say, I
think the fact that my political viewpoints may

1269
01:47:13,119 --> 01:47:15,960
differ from his. I think people
change over the course of their lives.

1270
01:47:15,279 --> 01:47:18,840
But I have hope for him that
he will one day rediscover the renegade that

1271
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:23,479
made him great, and I'm rooting
for that success in his life. Well,

1272
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:32,640
we're Vacu Ramaswami. Thank you for
your time. Alrighty, well we'll

1273
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:42,640
end with that. I've I don't
know, you know, I think,

1274
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,319
I think, and I think.
Let me see if I can find the

1275
01:47:45,399 --> 01:47:49,079

to. I would like to close today's
