The Ochili Effect is sponsored by Wallstreet
Window dot com and listeners like yeah yeah,

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.960
and in a media yeah, underrated, undefeated, and who gives a

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:21.399
damn anyway, It is January nineteen, twenty twenty four, allegedly, according

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.960
to that thing we call a calendar, and we're live on the stream at

5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.359
ocelly dot com just about ten minutes
after eight pm Eastern and what we used

6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.560
to call America, and uh guess
what, we're taking phone calls for the

7
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.399
next four hours. Now. I'm
not going to be lying the next four

8
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.159
hours, and I'm hoping not to
talk too much, even cause all I

9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.439
got on my mind is stuff that
doesn't really matter. I am so sick

10
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.200
of the American politic. I am
beyond all of the other ticks. And

11
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.759
I do mean the ticks, as
in the little creatures and the things that

12
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:57.280
make people twitch. It's happening out
there watching Rond DeSantis lick his lips and

13
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.640
grind his teeth while he's trying to
talk. Yeah, that's fun. Sure,

14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.040
it is incredible. Nikki Haley finally
trying to stand against Trump. Yay,

15
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.120
I don't know who's celebrating that.
It's stupid. Why don't you guys

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.599
all go home and give up.
Oh I forgot. You're gonna get some

17
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.760
money out of it. But Tim
Scott wanted to make sure he endorsed Trump

18
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.120
even though he's out of the race. Uh, just ahead of New Hampshire.

19
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.000
You're likely president, I tell you
again. Uh, but hey,

20
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.879
pay no attention to me because I
don't know what I'm talking about, and

21
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.879
who knows. Maybe we'll talk about
Russia and all that other good stuff,

22
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.000
or maybe I'll spend my time talking
about cookies on a Friday night. But

23
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.159
mainly I want to hear from you. Three one nine five two seven five

24
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.959
zero one six three one nine five
two seven five zero one six. That's

25
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.640

Aaron's and uncles tonight here on a
Friday on ochelly dot com Radio. So

five zero one six from you know, any phone that reaches North America.

38
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.960
I have international numbers, but nobody
asks for them, and I don't

39
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.479
want to list them all because I
got about forty of them. But anyway,

40
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.039
we are live here on this Friar's
day, and now it's about twelve

41
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.599
minutes after the hour of eight pm
Eastern, and uh, thankfully I got

42
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.159
through that quickly. My co host
P Pete is with me, and we

43
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.520
also have two Skype callers who have
already joined us. So that's the way

44
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.919
it is on a Friday. Bpete, let's start with you. I know

45
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.159
you haven't gotten a chance to skim
the news today or anything, but who

46
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.879
knows, maybe we won't talk about
news. We'll talk about whatever these people

47
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.400
want to bring up as they call
in join us. Or whatever. We

48
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.240
got two skypers already on the line. I'll get to them after you,

49
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.560
but first be beating my calls my
brother. How are you? Oh,

50
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.560
I'm good. We're glad. It
is Friday. Man, it's been a

51
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.199
long week, so we're getting ready
to freeze our butts off overnight though supposed

52
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.840
to get down a load twenties so
winters here and of course North Carolina weather,

53
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.199
you'll be able to wear shorts of
flip flops next week when he gets

54
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.719
up to seventy. Yeah, I
think I'm about to get the cold snap

55
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.599
tonight too. I'm not sure if
it's going to drop to the twenties on

56
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.000
the overnight or not, but there
it is. It's been weird in the

57
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:50.280
Southeast lately. I know we got
one skiper from the southeast, and we

58
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.000
got one from another part of the
country, not quite in the southeast,

59
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.560
but not too far away. I
just dropped something now I got to try

60
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.439
and pick it up here. Anyway. The deal is, it's getting cold

61
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.400
and a lot of places snow hitting
here and there. Do you get any

62
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:12.159
snow in North Carolina because I'm in
a slightly different tempered region. Oh yeah,

63
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.879
well, we always get in the
western part of the state. We

64
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.839
get it here occasionally. You've got
to get snow in this area. You

65
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.879
have to have a low pressure system
come from Texas, skirt the Gulf,

66
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:30.600
and right before it hits Florida,
it turns left at Georgia or it goes

67
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.680
past it's the Atlantic Ocean comes up
the coast and we get what's called a

68
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:40.360
northeastern right and that's I mean,
just like a hurricane. You've got this

69
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.920
low pressure system churning and it's going
up the coast. So every all the

70
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.240
winds are coming in from the northeast
and it just blows the banks and the

71
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.560
beaches and everything to pieces and works
its way on out. Now, if

72
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.000
it's cold enough, when one of
those come through, that's when we get

73
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.800
snow. And we've had up to
a foot in this area off foot and

74
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.800
a half, so it's rare that
we get it. When we do,

75
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.439
it's usually a dusting. But we
get it out west like We've got some

76
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.120
real good snow skiing out west,
a lot of slopes up there, so

77
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.759
yeah, we're used to it.
Well, look the second that people can't

78
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.399
try, no, no, not
at all. The second the previous day's

79
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.439
rain freezes on an overnight here in
Georgia, look out, man, because

80
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.160
nobody knows how to drive on it. They're sliding off the road, hitting

81
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.079
things, hitting each other, yeah
things. But you know, I find

82
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.600
it funny that we've got so many
of these damn Yankees coming down here from

83
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.920
where snow is all the time,
and you know what, they can't drive

84
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.680
in it either. So ignore what's
you here. If it snows, get

85
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.639
up there, have a blast.
Just make sure your insurance is paid up,

86
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.920
and you know, take chance,
roll the dice, you live life.

87
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:47.680
Yeah, the Yankees don't know how
to drive in the snow. Notice

88
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.120
it doesn't look like that in Jersey. Even though they got like a foot

89
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.160
and a half up there right now
or something. People are not abandoning their

90
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.480
cars on the side of the road
for a little ice. Go ahead.

91
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.000
But but think about a north You've
got the equipment up there hitting the roads.

92
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.720
It's able to get crap moved in
most cases, and traffic the world

93
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.519
can still function down here. It's
not like that. They got, you

94
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.639
know, a single axle dump truck
with a blade on the front. They

95
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.519
think they're gonna push snow over that. It's so bad on the interstates.

96
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.279
We put we have to put motivators
out there. It is pretty funny.

97
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.800
Like four, it is pretty funny. Nobody's prepared. They can't figure out

98
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.439
how to dump sand on the road
or nothing around, you know, in

99
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.279
the in the South here it is
funny. I mean, look, it

100
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.319
is true they're prepared up there.
But the funny part is well, but

101
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.319
the funny part is it keeps coming
down, so you have a constant sheet

102
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.759
of ice that these guys actually when
they're clearing away all that snow and getting

103
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.560
that out of the way, sometimes
that leads to more problems because they turn

104
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.680
slush over and then it freezes again
on the overnight and you're on a constant

105
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.800
sheet of ice, whether you're walking
outside or you or you're driving outside.

106
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.879
So believe it or not, they
do get a tuned to driving on ice

107
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.000
at least now as far as the
snow goes. Yeah, you're right,

108
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.920
I mean, nobody knows how to
driving the damn snow. Everybody's an idiot.

109
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.160
It's it's too funny, and you
yeah, you might as well just

110
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.160
embrace it. So hey, you
know, someone just time to drive in

111
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.000
the snow and go out and have
you know, do your go about your

112
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.560
business. We don't shut down.
I'm still commuting an hour and a half.

113
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.279
Snow, rain, it doesn't matter. So you just can't take on.

114
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.879
Which is funny if you notice how
nowadays like here, Oh it's going

115
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.800
to get super cold, and we're
going to postpone school. Oh it's supposed

116
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.600
to snow. Okay, well,
schools shut down. You know, we

117
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.160
haven't seen the first flake and it's
not coming for a day, but we've

118
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.279
gone ahead, declared an emergency,
and we're sutting schools down for three days.

119
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:47.120
I don't see how today's generation can
get through winter without spending all of

120
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.680
summer in therapy because they're so put
out. I mean, we close,

121
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.360
we close the school. If it
gets too hot, we close the school.

122
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.000
If it's too cold in the morning. Kids can't wa Whose last time

123
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.600
you saw a kid walk to school? It's weird. I don't know how

124
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.639
people can survive. There's just a
bunch of Wilsies out there that can't handle

125
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.160
mother Nazer fair enough. And for
that kind of thing, why don't we

126
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.000
turn to our other friends on Skype
and see what they got to say.

127
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.759
Start with Captain Tripps. If he's
with US. Captain you available to talk?

128
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.560
I am, I am. I
thought it was a left turn at

129
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.480
Albuquerque, not Florida. Is this
something there? You go? How is

130
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.519
it? How is it in Desanta, Stan with your governor being absent there

131
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.919
in Florida? Is the weather?
I mean, like, I think I've

132
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.200
made this comment. As a governor, for the most part, he actually

133
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.240
is pretty good. Unfortunately, he's
a little He's got his areas where I'm

134
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.519
in complete disagreement with him, But
overall, as a governor, I've liked

135
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.960
him. As a presidential candidate,
he has been absolutely abysmal. It's a

136
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.519
real shame. I keep scratching my
head, going, dude, why did

137
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.399
you do this? And I mean
you got some really bad advice. Still,

138
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.440
he came in second place in New
What was it in Iowa? Right?

139
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.000
I mean in the Iowa coues he's
second place. Even though he's licking

140
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.039
his Did you see him on his
town hall on CNN any clips of that?

141
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.919
No, he's licking his lips like
a dog that you forgot to leave

142
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.279
the water bowl out for from yesterday. I mean, like just over and

143
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.000
I'm trying, I'm like, why
is this weird? Ticket. I'm thinking

144
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.720
back, Why am I focusing on
this? Oh yeah, because every debate

145
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.600
I was watching him grinding his teeth. I mean, at first I saw

146
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.039
him do that before. What the
hell I mean, he's he's I don't

147
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.440
know what it is. And I've
talked to more than a few people that

148
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.360
actually know him personally, and they
said, he's not like that in person.

149
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.279
Apparently he's very He's much more personable
and easy going if you actually have

150
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.799
a conversation with the guy. But
yeah, he he he seems to freeze

151
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.759
up on the camera, super nervous. I mean, Nick, Nikki Haley,

152
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.960
you can watch her drop her head
and recollect herself all the time,

153
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.879
and that's her little gig, right. I mean, I watched the ticks

154
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.039
of these people because it tells you
a lot about their personality. Nikki Halee,

155
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.240
You'll drop her head and go okay, okay, I'm not going to

156
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.120
say this, but I am going
to say this, and then she'll pick

157
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.320
her head back up and put her
eyes back on the camera. She's trained.

158
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.919
Okay, It's just that simple.
DeSantis is not. He's grinding,

159
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.159
Steve. He seems very very very
fake, very scripted, you know,

160
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.960
look, I'm going to tell you
the same typical things that everybody's been telling

161
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.759
you for the past thirty years.
That's how it goes. And he speaks

162
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.919
with that cadence exactly. I'm going
to say, get it out here,

163
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.240
all in one sentence, right at
once. And it doesn't matter if I

164
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.480
made a mistake in what I said, because I'm just going to keep going

165
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.879
that that's the way he handles things, right, that's my Desanti's impressions everybody,

166
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.080
But it's not it's actually not that. What blows my mind though about

167
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:58.519
him is he's never capitalized on his
strongest, you know, his strongest campaign

168
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.639
thing, which was the whole COVID
crap. And it's like, and I

169
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.879
watch him, I'm going, you
have the perfect you know, you could

170
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.799
attack you can he could have actually
attacked Trump on this because Trump attacked him.

171
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.559
Yeah, and you know he but
but yet he doesn't. He didn't

172
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.759
focus on that, And I just
have to scratch my head, going,

173
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.480
that was your strongest point and you
have I mean, he's made you know,

174
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.759
he'll make a couple of comments about
it, but you know I was.

175
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.919
I just keep thinking, man,
that this is your strong point,

176
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.039
and for some reason, you're just
not even going near it. Well,

177
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.799
have you had local news in Florida, because I'm curious as to how they're

178
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.279
covering your governor literally placing second,
even though the rest of the media across

179
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.200
the country is treating it as though
Haley one, yeah, which is really

180
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.600
weird because she didn't and I mean
in reality right now, RFK Junior could

181
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.519
claim more of the Republican uh,
you know, voters than Nikki Haley could.

182
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.639
He's just wasn't part of the caucuses. But it was. I just

183
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.320
I saw a story I can't remember
where it was, basically warning Trump,

184
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.480
don't pick this woman to be your
vice president. You'll I think I think

185
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.279
that would lose him the election.
I don't know. I don't know because

186
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.080
she's really I mean, yeah,
she she is the establishment pick, and

187
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.240
I think that may have been what
it was for some reason. They thought

188
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.720
the Santis was going to be on
pro establishment and I mean on some things.

189
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.720
On some things he certainly is,
but on some things he's not right.

190
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.639
But I think I think Haley would
be you know, uh, would

191
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.840
would definitely be more friendly to the
to the uniparty established. Absolutely true.

192
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.039
Local news, I don't really pay
much attention to it. Sorry, what

193
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.080
would that be? I was I
was going to say, if you look

194
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.080
at the job of vice president and
what they do, Nikki Haley would be

195
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.639
perfect for it. But yeah,
anybody has qualified for it after what we

196
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.279
have in office now as vice president. Yeah, you could put old shoes.

197
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.759
Would definitely be more intelligent, There's
no question about that. But she's

198
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.399
she's hit some foreign state experience,
you know, uh, be an ambassador

199
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.840
to you in she's well also working
with international companies as being the governor of

200
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.120
South Carolina. I mean she has
that gubernatorial experience as well. So I

201
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.519
mean one could say from a typical
political standpoint, she has plenty of experiences

202
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.159
to be able to work in the
White House, to be able to work

203
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.320
in the cabinet, to be vice
president, I think no problem from a

204
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.200
purer skills standpoint, BPTE. Don't
you. Oh yeah, I think she'd

205
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.720
make a good vice president. But
I don't see it happen but under Trump.

206
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.960
But not a good worry. What
worries What worries me is what I'm

207
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.440
afraid may happen. And I could
be wrong, but what I'm what I'm

208
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.639
afraid may happen. I mean,
it really looks like unless unless they can

209
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.360
somehow get something to stick to Trump
and they can somehow officially pull him off

210
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.480
the ballot. I don't think there's
any way this guy doesn't win the Republican

211
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.919
nomination. And if you, if
the polling is even remotely accurate, he

212
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.399
should beat Biden. I mean,
if you if the election was held tomorrow.

213
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.240
I quite frankly, I think if
the election was held tomorrow, I

214
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.720
could beat Biden. But that's that's
a whole other story. Yeah, I

215
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.320
think I could too, because she's
got about what a thirty three approval rating.

216
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.840
I mean, if that hord,
then he you know, he's alienating

217
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.000
a lot of I think the core
support that he had because they disagree with

218
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:46.440
his administration's his administration's position on the
Israel Israel Gaza issue. And I'm not

219
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.080
taking a position, and I'm just
saying, clearly, a good percentage of

220
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.039
the people that voted for him in
twenty twenty have a different point of view

221
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.320
than his administration does on this whole
issue. So I don't see I see

222
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.559
him losing votes for that, And
honestly, I'm going to be shocked,

223
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.759
as I'm going to be shocked as
anything if the man is actually going to

224
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.559
be on the ballot in November.
He just doesn't look like he's gonna live

225
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.360
that long. Biden, whether I
like him or not, I hear you,

226
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.720
but you know, will either one
of them live? There was that

227
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.960
weird thing going on where syphilis started
trending on Twitter for a minute because of

228
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.480
sores showing up on Trump's hand.
I thought that was pretty funny, and

229
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.840
I wanted to point out to people
that I got excoriated for saying it in

230
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.000
twenty seventeen. But you know,
I'm a bad guy. Or actually I

231
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.840
said it before that didn't I But
it doesn't matter. That's when I said

232
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.600
it a few times out loud.
I'll tell you what's funny is, you

233
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.240
know, again bringing up RFK Junior
if you take a look at his position

234
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.440
when you talk about people that want
to stay out of war, and I

235
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.440
want to get the regular Joe next
by the way, But here it is.

236
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.120
This is from their campaign because I
get emails several times a day from

237
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.960
them, and I also get text
messages. I'm on all these lists for

238
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.919
RFK Junior, and I don't even
know how I got on some of them,

239
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.679
but anyway, the Ukrainian War should
never have happened. This is from

240
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.639
Kennedy twenty four. It's a dispatch
from the RFK Junior. The Ukrainian War

241
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.480
should have never happened, and it's
time we understand the complex webs surrounding it.

242
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.799
The backstory. Now this is not
my words, this is again the

243
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.720
RFK Junior campaign. The backstory.
Russia tried multiple times to settle this conflict,

244
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.840
wanting one key thing is to keep
NATO out of Ukraine. However,

245
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.240
the big military contractors had other plans. Adding new countries to NATO meant a

246
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:40.000
captive market for specific companies like Northbrough, Grumm and Raytheon General Dynamics, Boeing

247
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.519
and Lockheed. The financial toll.
In March twenty twenty two, we committed

248
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.960
a staggering one hundred and thirteen billion
to the war in Ukraine. To put

249
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.360
it in perspective, that could have
provided homes for almost every homeless person in

250
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.679
our country. But it doesn't end
there. An additional twenty four billion was

251
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.480
committed two months ago. Now President
Biden is seeking another sixty billion. The

252
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.640
money trails Senator Mitch McConnell recently revealed
a startling truth. It's a money laundering

253
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.559
scheme. The funds aren't really going
to Ukraine, They're going to American defense

254
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:18.279
manufacturers. And who owns these companies
Blackrock The loan illusion. Senator Tim Scott

255
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.400
tried to ease concerns by calling the
billions were giving away a loan, but

256
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.640
it's not a generous offer. It's
a tactic. By labeling it alone,

257
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:33.519
extreme austerity measures can be imposed on
Ukraine. This includes putting government owned assets

258
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:38.119
up for sale to multinational corporations,
including its prize to agricultural land. The

259
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:44.039
land grab Ukraine's farmland, the bread
basket of Europe is a major target.

260
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.200
Thirty percent of it has already been
sold to DuPont, Cargel and Monsanto,

261
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:53.640
all entities owned by Blackrock, meat
qualifying this pulling that away partially owned by

262
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:00.400
Blackrock, not completely owned by Blackrock, but partially indeed anyway. The building

263
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.839
contract is the next headline in here. In December, President Biden awarded the

264
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.480
contract to rebuild Ukraine, and yes, you guessed it, black Rocks secured

265
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:12.920
the deal. The strategy. The
strategy is ancient but effective. Keep us

266
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.640
at war with each other. By
fostering division, they maintain control. They're

267
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.079
doing all this right in front of
us because they believe they can get away

268
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.680
with it. How do we stop
them? We unite. That's printed in

269
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.079
red, and various things were underlined
as I went. The last line in

270
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:36.200
their communication is the power to change
the lies. The power to change this

271
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.880
lies with us, the citizens.
We can't dismantle the corrupt systems that perpetuate

272
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.920
war for profit without your generous support. Of course, this is the thing.

273
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.880
Now, you're supposed to contribute to
Kennedy's campaign, et cetera, et

274
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.680
cetera. But that is a position
that's being taken by a lot of people.

275
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.160
I'm not saying it's all correct.
I'm just saying that this is a

276
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.680
logical ste that's being made coherently by
a bunch of people about this situation.

277
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.680
And that's only one of the wars
that we're actually involved in, despite the

278
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.480
fact that we're lacking headlines on a
bunch of stuff. Anyway, all of

279
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.119
this in mind, I want to
turn to my other friend who's kind of

280
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.519
snowed in, and I have a
feeling hasn't been paying a lot of attention

281
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:25.279
to the news. Regular Joe,
is any of this hitting your psychological field,

282
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.079
your cocoon over there or regular Joe? Have you missed all of this

283
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:37.200
in recent days? I've missed everything
that you guys have brought up. Excellent,

284
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.319
excellent, So I'm hearing a bit
of it for the first time now.

285
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:47.359
So yeah, no, I've officially
dropped out. I think so.

286
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.000
But I am snowed in and I
think we're supposed to be seeing windchills of

287
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.960
fifteen below zero tonight. Oh boy, that's rough. I don't know what

288
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.759
the windshills are here. I haven't
studied it yet. I don't even want

289
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:02.119
to look until after at least I'm
done with my show. But let me

290
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.000
ask you, man, what is
on your mind? I know you definitely

291
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:12.480
pointed me to the latest Dave Chappelle
offering a couple of weeks ago. You

292
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.720
and I have been in and out
of contact lately. I had some problems,

293
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.200
but you know it is what it
is. How are you doing and

294
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.240
what is in your world your mind? And what would you like to discuss?

295
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.000
I mean, I could turn to
some other emails I get regarding news

296
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.160
like Metal Hammer with it with a
headline that says, hopefully we get more

297
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.680
horny heavy metal songs in twenty twenty
four. We could go to some recent

298
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.200
news science. We could go to
JP Satilli's statement, Bbe's Moment of truth

299
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.160
if you want to talk about Israel, but I have a feeling you don't

300
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.920
want to cover any of that.
We could go to the five minute Fix

301
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.920
from the Washington Post, which I
find really bizarre, as they discussed the

302
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.559
Hunter Biden situation, which is ongoing
and apparently he's going to be testifying at

303
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:03.160
Congress soon. But anyway, what's
on your mind? Actually, well,

304
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.839
on the whole vice president job you
guys were talking about earlier, I've got

305
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.680
two words. You ready, it's
blast from the past. But dan Quail

306
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.640
nice nice and the country didn't collapse, you know, the country didn't collapse.

307
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.480
And I don't know what to take
a dan Quayle. I'm told he's

308
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:27.880
a fairly decent lawyer. But anyway, go ahead. Yeah, So,

309
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:33.359
you know, my stance on politics
is now and probably even more so than

310
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.799
it ever was. I just don't
participate, and I and not figure out

311
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.240
for the life of me why anyone
else does. So, you know,

312
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.559
you know we've been scammed and what's
well, you know, if you know

313
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.720
it's a scam and you call for
it anyway, that's your fault. Yeah.

314
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:53.759
Well, you know, the fun
thing is it is kind of a

315
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.079
mostly bloodless sport, So I mean, what else do you got to entertain

316
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.000
you? I don't think the AI
is writing most of the you know,

317
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.480
of the entertainment lately are doing a
good job because most of it sucks.

318
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.599
Although I did enjoy that Dave Chappelle
show, I gotta tell you that was

319
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.519
a good recommend thank you. Well, yeah it was. It wasn't bad

320
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.599
at all. It wasn't as good
as some of his previous ones, but

321
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.720
even Dave Chappelle, even on an
off night, as one of the best

322
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.400
there's ever been. Yeah. I
was kind of comparing to his to his

323
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:29.839
three heroes that he mentions frequently himself. He's like a mixture of the three,

324
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.599
and that's Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor
and Bill Cosby. That's that's Dave

325
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.279
Chappelle. He's like those three perfected. Yeah, and you know, it's

326
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.359
amazing that he did that tour with
Chris Rock and that was a big deal.

327
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.880
Uh, you know, because to
me, Chris Rock is kind of

328
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.400
a poor man's Eddie Murphy. Uh, that's the way he's always been.

329
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.039
But of course he's become a bigger
star than Murphy was in a lot of

330
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.000
ways. You know, it's it's
weird, but Dave is is unique.

331
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.200
It never stops with him. And
by the way, I love the overreaction

332
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.680
of his you know, oh,
there he is. He's bashing the Trani's

333
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.720
again and I'm like, no,
he's not. He is just poking at

334
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.839
you people and laughing his ass off
all the way to the bank. I

335
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:17.720
think it's brilliant actually what he did
with that special throughout it just kind of

336
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.440
going oh, by the way,
no, I'm not afraid to talk about

337
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.480
it, but I got other stuff
to cover. Boom. I thought that

338
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:29.039
was pretty funny. What did you
think of that? Yeah, he's just

339
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.640
brilliant. He's always on top of
his game and he's it's like he never

340
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.519
missed. As if he was a
baseball player, he would have record stats

341
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.720
because you know, he just says
what he wants and I think it's his

342
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.839
goal to to fire up canceled culture. He wants to do it. It's

343
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.519
obvious he's doing it on purpose every
time, and they still haven't caught on.

344
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:56.079
Yeah, he's winnings. We talk
about how you know, it's so

345
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.960
funny to me because they keep falling
for it each and every single time.

346
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.519
You want to talk about people falling
for the same thing, they keep going

347
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.519
for it every single time. And
he yanks that rug right out from under

348
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:11.559
him. I mean, it's hilarious. Yeah, he's before he tells the

349
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.599
joke. It's like it's like he
has turned comedy into chess. He's brilliant.

350
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.519
Yeah, and with the social issues
and what's funny is I really wish

351
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.240
there was more. It seems like
a lot of the people that are very

352
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.480
concerned with cancer cancel culture and you
know, and and the whole Oh my

353
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:30.720
god, you know that the trannies
are coming. You know, I'm afraid

354
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.319
of the story hours and all these
those people should be like cheering him on

355
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.920
the way he's handling this, and
they're not. They're not getting behind him.

356
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.319
It's always the weirdest thing to me
to watch that where it's like they

357
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.400
they still want to tout Joe Rogan, they still want to tout you know,

358
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.759
Oh, look at what's going on
on Twitter, which, by the

359
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.920
way, Twitter X. Now you
know the wonderful free speech platform. You

360
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.160
know who's now going to have a
broadcast show on there? And I doubt

361
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.799
it's going to get any action,
But pretty funny that this guy's going there,

362
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:08.279
Don Lemon, So, I mean, is he gonna play how racist

363
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.119
is this? On? On Twitter
X platforms? I mean, he's going

364
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:17.000
the way up. And you know
there's money there. If you've got Tucker

365
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:21.319
Carlson and Don Lemon going to the
same well, guess what that means.

366
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:26.000
There's at least a good paycheck behind
it. Somehow somebody's guaranteeing him decent money

367
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.640
to just go on Twitter and put
out a podcast basically through their platform.

368
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.119
So it's a weird world. And
oh, Alex Jones was restored. I

369
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.200
don't know if you knew about that. Joe to Twitter and all that.

370
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:45.759
Yeah, I didn't know. But
Alex Jones, man, well you gave

371
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.119
it up on Twitter a couple of
years ago. But yeah, good,

372
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.279
the whole thanks Pale thing. It's
like, why have these groups that figured

373
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:59.359
out that he's on their side?
He's flat towed them in more than one

374
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:04.519
special I'm on your side, you
know. He he just can't stop writing

375
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.119
the jokes. Yeah, and well, because one they're writing themselves and two

376
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.480
here's the other thing that people miss
the point of when it comes to a

377
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.839
comedy. Matter of fact, I
put up on Twitter right away at right

378
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.079
after I watched the special. I
was a little pissed, and why I

379
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.160
made sure to include blind Joe in
the descriptor. I said, you know,

380
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:29.680
he's not making fun of handicapped people
enough, and he doesn't make any

381
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.240
blind jokes. I'm a little pissed. I feel left out and blind Joe,

382
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.799
how about you? Doesn't this suck
because I'd like, you know,

383
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.119
I'd like people to remember there's actually
handicapped people out there to be made fun

384
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.960
of too. Everybody should be the
target of humor with a guy like this,

385
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.720
and I love it, I really
do. So sorry. That was

386
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.839
the only thing I was mad at
is that he started to act like he

387
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.640
was going to pick on some handicapped
people, you know, and then he

388
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.240
did it like one joke only and
no blind jokes. Damn it, come

389
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.319
on, Dave, blind jokes,
let's go. I know you can do

390
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.279
it, okay, you know,
look back at Eddie Murphy with his Stevie

391
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.279
Wonder impression. That was the best, even Stevie Wonder nugget, Come on,

392
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:14.640
man, anyway, sorry, go
ahead, And even the most lame

393
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.160
joke he told that he knew wasn't
going to work because he said he'd told

394
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.079
it over and over and it never
worked, and he said, and it's

395
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:23.160
not going to work tonight either,
and it didn't. And it was still

396
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:30.839
good with the cone joint of us
in our watery grave, yep, he's

397
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:38.279
making and and that's well, it's
almost you know, it's not going to

398
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.559
work. You tell it anyway,
and it's all right. It's still didn't

399
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:47.680
work, but it's it's okay,
Yeah, that's good, and it's great

400
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.039
because and I know he's just telling
The funny part is he's telling that in

401
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:55.359
front of everybody to basically needle his
wife. Which is the funniest part of

402
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.599
it is that he's doing that right
out in public too, you know.

403
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.680
But then again, this is the
same guy he says, you know,

404
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.359
every once in a while when he
catches her sleep and he just humps her

405
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.920
feet too. I mean that that's
another thing, like, this is a

406
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.519
guy who just doesn't care and lays
certain things out there for the world to

407
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.279
hear, regardless of how much it
makes somebody else squirm, even himself,

408
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.759
which I think is hilarious. And
he doesn't do to spare himself either.

409
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.720
I mean he busts Sea Bus jokes
on himself all the time. Yeah,

410
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:27.079
and they're brilliant. So you know, I'm a fan, I really am.

411
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.680
I think he's a genius. Yeah, no, I agree with you.

412
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:33.680
But anyway, so I wanted to
be glad to cover that part of

413
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.039
the media as we go forward.
I've got this five minute fix from the

414
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.119
Washington Post which is all about Hunter
Biden. I might read from it a

415
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:41.920
little bit, but before we do
that, we got a caller to get

416
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.119
to. So, Joe, you
got anything else you want to put on

417
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.279
the on the table here before I
go to UH, looks like Jimmy James

418
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.079
is the only one on the phone
line, but anybody could join us.

419
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.079
Three one nine five two seven five
zero one six. That's the number to

420
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.599
call. UH. I want to
get to Jimmy next. But you got

421
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.279
anything else, Joe? Before I
go there out, Let's go ahead and

422
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.759
move on to Jimmy. All right, be Pete, you good with that?

423
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.799
Or you got something you want to
add in? You want to say

424
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:12.200
something about Chappelle anything all right,
excellent? And I love the fact that,

425
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.440
you know, people that were picking
on him for being racist, it's

426
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.240
hilarious too, like he was anti
Asian. At one point He's like,

427
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.319
well, my wife's Asian and you
know I got kids too, But okay,

428
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:27.400
you know, it's so funny.
It's just too too funny. And

429
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.160
his response to the uh you know, the we they them crowd was to

430
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.880
have one of them open for him. Uh that you know, people said,

431
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.960
you know, he wouldn't support you
know, artists like that. He

432
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.480
just went and did it. I
I just I don't know what to say.

433
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.559
The guy responds perfectly every time.
I think people need to take lessons

434
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:51.440
from him for dealing with cancel culture
and the uh the woke but completely sleepwalking

435
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:57.200
still alleged left. But anyway,
I believe we got Jimmy James on the

436
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:04.039
line. So let's see what's on
his Jimmy James that you this is a

437
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.759
that is I. That is him
saying I as in I am here.

438
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:18.720
So I am Jimmy James. How
are you? Oh? I'm doing all

439
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:23.400
right? Negative for here? No
when chilled factor needed, it's just playing

440
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:33.759
negative four mm hmm. But your
football team did well, right, You

441
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.319
got that right? M h Well, hey, look broken clocks and such.

442
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.880
I gotta get something right once in
a while, so it's on your

443
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:51.200
mind. No, everything, and
not too. I was just thinking of

444
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:59.200
Shakespeare. Shakespeare. Tell me Chuck, of course, tell me Chuck.

445
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:03.640
Do you appree she Shakespeare? I
appreciate a lot of Shakespeare in work.

446
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.799
Sure. I used to really enjoy
a lot of his poetry. And of

447
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.880
course I read the plays, and
well not all the plays, but many

448
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.680
of the plays, you know,
the historical ones. I liked Julius Caesar.

449
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.519
I think at some point I read
Romeo, Romeo and Juliet. I

450
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.240
really like Hamlet, to be honest. A lot of intrigue in that one,

451
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:30.839
political assassination and all kinds of chicanery
going on in the kingdom there in

452
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:37.559
Denmark. But yeah, interesting stuff
Shakespeare, and a lot of things I

453
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.759
believe in coded messaged in there in
the writings of the alleged William Shakespeare,

454
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:48.119
who may or may not be one
or more people historically speaking. But what

455
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.559
are your thoughts on Shakespeare? And
some people say, Sir Francis Bacon,

456
00:31:53.599 --> 00:32:01.559
good, I'd say, you're there's
a last smoke of what you just said.

457
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.680
No, there is, there is. I'm not saying I conclude that

458
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:12.319
it's accurate, but I see where
there's good evidence for there being maybe him

459
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.960
and other authors involved in the collective
works of the alleged William Shakespeare. But

460
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:27.240
regardless of who authored it, it's
pretty pretty amazing stuff. Yeah, yeah,

461
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:35.359
and clearly I mean Shakespeare. I
mean, have you ever met anyone

462
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:42.119
in your name in the world with
it. It's obviously a fake Shakespeare,

463
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:46.319
as you know, the guy who
well, yeah, to shake a spear,

464
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.359
right, a guy who constantly was
making currently you know, in his

465
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:57.319
time, right, a lot of
political commentary, but claiming that it was

466
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:05.079
through historical figures, right, trying
to explain things with these historical plays,

467
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:10.160
ascribing it to other countries, and
very likely making commentary about current events related

468
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.920
to the crown in his own country, even if that indeed was his own

469
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.160
country. You know. Again,
I stand kind of agnostic as to whether

470
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:25.160
this guy was legitimately a singular individual
or if indeed that was his name,

471
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.960
so you know, but but go
ahead. I mean, it's pretty interesting

472
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:37.319
stuff, even historically. Yeah,
oh, it's fascinating, it is.

473
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:46.519
And before the Percetolet, Elizabethtnah and
Old Shakespeare and the King James fir surviible.

474
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.880
You know, we wouldn't have if
we were to try to speak to

475
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:00.960
someone that's spoken that type of English
and just it wouldn't happen. They were

476
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:07.960
just completely ignorant people. They just
one could read, one could write,

477
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:14.000
but the stories were translated. But
see that was the point of the place,

478
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.159
right Well that was the point of
the place, wasn't it, Jimmy,

479
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.039
Because wasn't that the point of the
plays? Because even if you couldn't

480
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:25.960
read or write, you could follow
the stories right right right right? That's

481
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:32.760
why. And I think that they
were trying to and they did successfully manipulate

482
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.400
the English language. Wouldn't agree,
Oh absolutely, the English language. I

483
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:43.039
agree with Jordan Maxwell on this that
it's a designer language, and it's designed

484
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:50.039
to be simultaneously unifying and confounding.
You know, where a lot of words

485
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:54.360
are meant to imply one thing,
when meanwhile they're stating exactly the opposite thing,

486
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.000
and it's meant to be misleading.
And I'm not sure what the entire

487
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.960
design was about, but it appears
to be something that somebody thought out pretty

488
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:08.159
well. Integrated many other languages into
it, and it nearly is a universal

489
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.960
language as matter of fact when it
comes to business. In the late nineties,

490
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.199
early two thousands, you know,
again, English was before the days

491
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.280
of now what we have almost universal
translators. We could translate stuff in real

492
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:25.280
time almost you know, a lot
of people were encouraging their children, look,

493
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.719
go learn English, because that's going
to be the international language of business.

494
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:36.599
And this way you can also speak
to the Americans and various other countries

495
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:40.880
that use a variation of this language, and that seemed to be something that

496
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.639
could be universal, you know.
So you know, in Asia and Europe,

497
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:50.119
they very much encouraged English, the
English language for a little while.

498
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:54.440
I think that might have shifted in
recent years oddly enough, but I don't

499
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:59.960
see people really pushing other people in
other parts of the world to learn Chinese,

500
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.800
although I think it wouldn't be a
bad idea if some people around you

501
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.360
knew how to interpret it. You
know, there was a point at which

502
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:12.360
people were saying we should all learn
Japanese because they were dominating the computer world,

503
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.239
the technology world, et cetera.
But that faded away. The Japanese

504
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:22.400
no longer dominate those things. They
built up something very strange over there in

505
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:28.360
their society and were very successful financially
for a little while, but now have

506
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.000
kind of stagnated, it seems,
on the world stage. But then again,

507
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.920
perhaps it's because of my disconnect from
that culture that I don't understand all

508
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:38.719
of what's happening. I do know
about the birth rates and the loneliness of

509
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:45.199
men and stuff. But anyway,
somehow they somehow they definitely lost their yen.

510
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:53.639
There's that they definitely lost their yet
right around what about ninety five seems

511
00:36:53.719 --> 00:37:02.519
like, right. So anyway,
my buddy Japanese no no, I was

512
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.199
just gonna say that, you know, and I know Bpete sometimes is rather

513
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:12.559
fascinated by Korean culture, which to
me, although I know it's incorrect,

514
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.719
but you know, dumb American over
here, it seems like an offshoot of

515
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:22.199
Japanese and Chinese culture, and I
guess it's related because it's kind of in

516
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:25.920
the same region but has its own
sort of unique history, despite the fact

517
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:30.679
that it was divided into two countries, you know, when the Armistice took

518
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:35.360
place, you know, after the
Korean conflict. It is a different culture

519
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:40.079
as well, and one that takes
a bit of deciphering to begin to understand.

520
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.719
Although they built some bridges with things
like k pop and various other forms

521
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:51.280
of entertainment. You know, people
have gone and looked at the animation and

522
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.920
some of the television shows and some
of the storytelling and have adapted it into

523
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.400
the English speaking world. In recent
years, Korea has sort of risen up

524
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:07.119
as a cultural influence oddly enough,
and seems like stronger than Japan, even

525
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.840
which Japan again was seemed to be
a rising titan when I was growing up,

526
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.880
even starting with car manufacturing and then
moving to other technologies. Yeah,

527
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:20.480
ah'd be pete. One thing that
has to do with that is the fact

528
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:28.519
that South Korea is the most wired
country in the world based on population size

529
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:38.719
and their internet infrastructure. Everybody's online, and they lead South Korea is Korea

530
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:45.320
itself is a totally separate culture from
China and Japan. They've had influence,

531
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:52.400
They've been ruled over by various aspects, but they're their own, you know,

532
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.119
distinct culture. They had their own
dynasties way back, you know,

533
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.400
when dirt was created. But they
lead in a lot a lot of the

534
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.360
new technology in that they are the
most wired country in the world. A

535
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:10.719
lot of well like MTV. MTV
was huge here when they used to play

536
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.119
music and music videos were the thing, and that's what these entertainment or record

537
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:22.000
companies did is produce videos strictly for
that medium. VH one, MTV.

538
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.480
They're still real big over there.
A lot of the entertainment companies go to

539
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:32.639
MTV studios to have their music videos
shot. They're leading technology. I mean,

540
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.000
look at their car industry. Hyundai
and Kia are big sellers here in

541
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:43.960
the States now. They've kind of
surpassed Japan in a lot of areas,

542
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:50.400
and they're way ahead of China in
most areas. But it's all technology driven,

543
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:55.880
and it's an old world culture that
is at the leading edge of what

544
00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:04.599
we're seeing today in the forms of
media and electronic media. So South Korea

545
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.320
is very influential when it comes to
things like that. Yeah, it's a

546
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.440
long way. Yeah, it's strange
because before that tumbling that, you know,

547
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:14.960
Jimmy James kind of pinpointed around nineteen
ninety five, which I think is

548
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.159
about accurate, where Japan sort of
fell from its position to promin it's its

549
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:25.239
perch. It seemed like Korea was
starting to challenge them in a literal technological

550
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:31.199
race regarding things like consumer electronics.
I think that's when those car companies really

551
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:35.159
started to sell here in this country. I don't know how long they've existed.

552
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.920
I don't know the history, but
you know, previous to that,

553
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:44.719
Toyota and what was it, Mitsubishi. I think we're the two biggest producers

554
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.719
that were doing well here. Yes, sorry, yeah, it's Toyota and

555
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:54.079
Nissan were the two biggest. Oh
nsaid Subaru had other companies come in Mitsubisi.

556
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.960
Mitsubisi is really shrunk compared to where
they used to be in the all

557
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:06.039
market. It's it's they're very limited
in the series of missispecies that you can

558
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.960
still get over here. They were
big at one time, but Hunda and

559
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:16.480
Kia hold a huge part of the
market and product wise put something out there

560
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:23.079
that's just as comparable and can compete
with either Nissan or Toyota. Oh and

561
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:25.719
you know what told you that they
were going to have and even bigger market

562
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.159
share is and this relates to you
a little bit, is when they came

563
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.719
out with those commercials with the hamster
driving the car. To be honest with

564
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:37.039
you, it was perfect it was
exactly the kind of thing to get attention,

565
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.639
uh for what some people call the
toaster, right, the little Kia

566
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.880
souls that are those funny shows.
Yeah. Of all the cars I've owned,

567
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.440
I've owned Subarus, I've owned Toyotas, I've owned Fords, I've owned

568
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.920
Chevyes. Of all the cars I've
owned or driven throughout my entire life,

569
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:04.119
I really like that Kiyas. For
the money and the ride and the durability

570
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.400
and the economy of the car.
I'd buy another one. Oh well,

571
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.000
you saw how it was you took
it when we drove it to Texas.

572
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.559
It's not a bad for a cheap
little car. It's not a bad ride.

573
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.360
No. I was just gonna say, driving twelve hours that Texas didn't

574
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.599
kill me in that car. I
mean, look, I was a little

575
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.239
stiff, but you're gonna be stiff
sitting anywhere for twelve hours, right.

576
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:24.559
But the thing is, I mean
it actually was fairly comfortable. It's compact,

577
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:30.239
it doesn't kill you on gas,
and the sticker price isn't brutal to

578
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.840
begin with, So you know,
I mean I'm looking at everything else being

579
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.480
what it's like, fifty thousand dollars
for a new car realistically at this point,

580
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.000
and used cars are a way to
hell up, you know. So,

581
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:44.719
And right now I got nothing to
say because all I got is a

582
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:50.360
busted Saturn in my driveway of two
thousand Saturn. But yeah, same what

583
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:52.119
she came over here. They tried, you know, they started cutting in

584
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:59.159
on the market on Nissan well back
then Dotson and Toyota, and they were

585
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.760
affordable Subaru gl and it was a
great little car, five speed, you

586
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.199
know, get you down the road
sheet and it didn't cost much to ensure

587
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.039
it. But then the berking Stock
crowd got ahold of a couple of models

588
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:14.559
of Subaru, and now they have
a very high opinion of what their car

589
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.760
is worth. So, you know, for spending the money on something like

590
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:23.599
that, Kia now is where Subaru
was before they got expensive and nobody could

591
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:28.800
afford them. Right I forgot about
Dotson, but a very very good car.

592
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:32.039
I'm looking at a Hyundai right now. I've been considering buying one of

593
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:37.119
those new Santa Cruz is a small
four do or pickup that they've got,

594
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.599
and I'm thinking very seriously about it. But yeah, I'd buy another Kia

595
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.079
Soul in a minute, it's been
an excellent car. I'd recommend it to

596
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.960
anybody. Yeah, and what was
it that Toyota Corolla was like the longest

597
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.039
lasting damn thing in the world.
Like those things were on the road for

598
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.360
thirty years, Like no matter how
you treat it, pretty much well at

599
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.800
the Corolla right sale value, you
know, they hold their value because they

600
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:06.760
do last so long. Yeah,
with without you know, a ton of

601
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.000
intense maintenance, just with some basic
maintenance. I mean I had a friend

602
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:14.719
had one for like twenty years,
literally like the same you know, light

603
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.559
blue and you've seen these commonly the
Corolla. The model was very prevalent for

604
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.800
a while and it was everywhere,
you know, So I don't know,

605
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.039
man, it's a weird thing to
watch. But but nowadays, yeah,

606
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:32.440
I'm thinking Korea is you're next up
and comer, although in manufacturing other goods

607
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:36.599
and things, you know, Vietnam
is on the rise too. There's always

608
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:39.840
an Asian nation, you know,
rising up to take care of the cheap

609
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:44.639
goods aspects of things, and there's
always one that's on the cutting edge of

610
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.559
technology. And as much as you
know, China ends up manufacturing all kinds

611
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:54.639
of small electronic pieces. They never
do master the more complex machinery and the

612
00:44:54.760 --> 00:45:00.159
larger tag items. So it's pretty
fascinating. You know, China's all your

613
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:04.360
cheap, cheap, small crap.
But and you know, used to be

614
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.400
slave labor but now no longer.
Uh. But all these other Asian countries

615
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:12.599
are coming up and filling that gap
now. So you know, it's a

616
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:15.800
weird world. And while we're talking
about that, there's a lot of international

617
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.400
business going on that I think people
are paying no attention to. But you

618
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.920
know, as per usual, let's
watch who finishes second place next to New

619
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:28.599
Hampshire, uh, and so on
and so forth. So tell you what

620
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:30.800
we're gonna do. We're gonna take
a little break here because we are gonna

658
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:04.880
Live Mike here on o'chelly dot com. So Hey, I'm curious to hear

659
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:07.400
what you think out there. That's
what this show is about, not what

660
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.679
I have to say. I've got
something loaded up. Maybe I'll talk about

661
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:15.159
hydrox cookies before we're all done.
I keep teasing that. Who knows if

662
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:17.119
I'll get to it. Maybe I'll
save it for a news story for next

663
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.920
week. And I got a news
program to put out from last night,

664
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.960
but I got to do some editing
because there was some flaws in the recording,

665
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:29.119
so I got to fix that and
gonna put it out though hopefully you

666
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.440
guys heard it live if you listen
to the live stream here and there.

667
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:36.000
But I'll get that out over the
weekend along with this show, Aaron Show

668
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.719
and Uncle, which is coming up
at ten pm Easter and Aaron Franz returns

669
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:44.800
to Friday Nights with the Age of
Transitions and Uncle. The broadcast will start

670
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:49.880
at eleven pm Eastern or somewhere thereabouts. So back to it, Bpete.

671
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:53.320
We still got two guys on the
skype and well, it looks like one

672
00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:58.119
additional caller outside of Jimmy James on
the regular phone line. I thought we

673
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:01.239
had two, but I think the
other one hung up. So you can

674
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:05.039
call back in three one nine,
five, two seven, five zero one

675
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:07.039
six join us. You can talk
about anything you want. I don't hold

676
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:14.760
anybody back on this show. Discuss
whatever's on your mind. Curious if regular

677
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.519
Joe or well, let's start with
regular Joe, regular Joe Shakespeare, any

678
00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:23.559
of those thoughts lately, any anything
about that, that conversation or anything to

679
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:34.400
add Okay, I guess not wow, Okay, now I'm looking at my

680
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.400
call set up here, P Pete, looks like we did we lose.

681
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:42.199
No, we still have Captain Trips
with us, but he might not be

682
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:47.079
available now Trips. No, I'm
here, I'm here. Okay, Sorry,

683
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:51.199
I got confused for a moment there
because I all of a sudden didn't

684
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.480
see regular Joe and you had been
moved over to the side. Anything to

685
00:54:54.519 --> 00:55:00.360
add I mean, Jimmy James has
lately mentioned poetry and william S. Well,

686
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.760
I don't have anything to add to
that, but I needed I forgot.

687
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:06.679
I was in the middle of a
thought and then we got onto something

688
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:08.119
else and I never got the thought
out. I just wanted to go back

689
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:14.360
to what my my I had originally
said I were starting to say about my

690
00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:19.800
concern with Trump possibly picking the wicked
witch of the East. I guess because

691
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.440
Hillary Clinton is the wicked witch of
the West. I don't know. I've

692
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:25.239
lost track ant Hillary is. How
is Hillary the wicked witch of the West?

693
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:29.760
I thought she came from Arkansas,
didn't she? Kay? And I

694
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:34.559
guess she's the wicked witch of the
Ozarks? Okay, Well, I mean

695
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:42.000
was that she lives in New York? Now in that Well, that's got

696
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:50.519
her, That's right. My main
concern with with the former governor Haley is

697
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.360
what worries me because it it really
looks like they're not going to get any

698
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:58.719
of these charges to stick to him. And it also looks like and I'm

699
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:00.960
not making any comments about whether I
agree disagree, I'm just just kind of

700
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:07.840
reading the teleies and I don't see
any of the other current crop of Republican

701
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:13.760
candidates being able to beat him in
the primary. What worries me if they

702
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:16.719
attach Haley to him as the vice
president, they get him into office,

703
00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:22.480
they immediately bring him up on impeachment
charges and quite frankly, I think there's

704
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:25.280
enough Republicans that don't like him that
they would impeach him, and we are

705
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:30.400
stuck with President Haley. Yeah,
and that, well that that scares me

706
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:36.199
more than any of the other ones. Well, she's in my own opinion.

707
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:37.360
I think that was my thought.
Okay, I think you have nothing

708
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.280
to worry about there, and I'm
going to tell you why. I hope

709
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:44.880
you're right. A couple of reasons. One, in recent days now,

710
00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:49.000
she's kind of doubled down, straight
up called Trump a liar and everything else

711
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.639
in public. And that's the kind
of thing that he personally doesn't matter if

712
00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:57.440
he's Trump the politician, Trump the
real estate guy or whatever. As soon

713
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:00.199
as you start calling him out in
public for he in a pos for any

714
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:05.920
reason, guess what, you aren't
working with him no more. Uh,

715
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.559
good point. I urge you to
witness the lawyers that simply disagreed with his

716
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:15.280
strategy, the the the trail of
tears that is in the law profession at

717
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:20.280
this point, all the lawyers they
got dismissed from the various Trump teams.

718
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.679
You know, once you come out
in public and say something like that,

719
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:28.199
it is the sin that has never
forgiven. I know she said that,

720
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:32.159
so that I mean personally, it
looks like what's his name, Ramaswami is

721
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:39.320
positioning himself as the potential VP.
But I also heard that Trump himself made

722
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:44.800
mention of the Congress the congresswoman out
of New York, what is a Staphonic

723
00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:50.000
or Stephanic I think is her last
name? You know what, the or

724
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:52.199
et least at least at least Stephonic, you know, would be a fascinating

725
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:59.480
you know, it would be a
fascinating and really really intensely interesting pick if

726
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:02.519
somebody convinced Trump to do it.
Because Tim Scott, who has now you

727
00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:07.719
know, suspended his campaign, made
it a point to come out and basically

728
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:14.159
endorsed Trump ahead of New Hampshire in
recent and yeah, I saw that that

729
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:17.039
would be an interesting pick. He
picks a black guy to be his vice

730
00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:20.280
president, It's perfect. It's like, oh, you want to kill me,

731
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.519
racist, I have a black guy. He's a vice president. He'll

732
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:25.800
say it every day, And quite
frankly, you could make the same argument

733
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.159
if he picks the congress Roman from
New York because she's a female, And

734
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.000
you might even be able to stretch
it with ramas Swami, because who in

735
00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:38.280
the hell ever thought we would have
a potential presidential candidate with the last name

736
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:43.800
of Ramaswami. Yeah, let's be
honest. No fair enough, But Ramaswami

737
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:47.159
I think has too much of an
ego to accept second fiddle, although other

738
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.440
people have said he's kind of positioning
himself for that. But I think Tim

739
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:55.800
Scott is the perfect boot licker to
be the vice presidential candidate. Besides that,

740
00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:58.960
I mean, in a weird way, he's already kind of had a

741
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:01.960
female vice president and after all,
uh, you know point, I'm gonna

742
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:09.599
I'm gonna leave that good boy.
But a black guy that would throw a

743
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:15.559
monkey wrench into a whole lot of
people's problems with him, and it would

744
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:19.519
be a direct a front to the
MSM attacks on him. Trump is racist,

745
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.039
Trump is racist. Well I gotta
have a black guy. He's a

746
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:27.880
vice presidential candidate. And of discussion, even Don Lemon would have to say

747
00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:30.559
on on Twitter, X now I
can, I can, I can hear

748
00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:36.159
Rachel Maddow's head exploding currently? I
love it. I actually I actually like

749
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.039
that. I hope he does it. To be quite honest with that would

750
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:40.719
be and that would be good.
And what has Tim Scott done. He

751
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:45.760
has absolutely consistently defended Trump all along. Right, So on a personal level,

752
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:51.199
Tim Scott's an acceptable pick, and
he's he's fairly well spoken. I

753
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:52.920
mean I heard him in the debates. I don't agree with a lot of

754
00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:58.519
his positions, but that's really not
the question. And he's well spoken.

755
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:01.559
He seems to be fairly p popular, at least in South Carolina. Right,

756
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:06.360
So that's a good thought. I
didn't really think about that. But

757
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.920
and crushes and undermines the whole South
Carolina theme with Haley. Yep, yes

758
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.079
it does, you know. And
the only difference is, yeah, they

759
01:00:14.119 --> 01:00:16.880
have different experiences, but you can't
say that Tim Scott wasn't somewhat experienced too.

760
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:22.159
I mean, he's no less experience
than guess what Mike kents so exactly,

761
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:29.559
he definitely has the he would definitely
be able to maintain that Christian conservative

762
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:32.440
vote. That's it. And that's
the thing. I think. It's actually

763
01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:36.239
an intelligent pick. Now, that
doesn't mean it's going to happen because I'm

764
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:39.960
nice, you know, I know
I'm crazy, So no, I mean,

765
01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:43.119
you might be crazy, but you're
not wrong on this one. I'll

766
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:45.800
tell you that could be crazy,
but not wrong. Thank you. I

767
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:49.559
appreciate that anyway, BP, Before
we go to our next caller, what

768
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:52.159
do you think of that though,
I mean, I think that Captain Tripps

769
01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:55.440
has nothing to worry about as far
as you know, Trump selecting Haley,

770
01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:59.719
especially because she's saying that, you
know, he's a liar, and he's

771
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:04.639
also afraid to debate her in recent
days. This is what her statements are,

772
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:07.320
right, So he's afraid to debate
me because I'm gonna call him a

773
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:09.440
liar on stage. I'm gonna call
him out on his lies. And that

774
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:13.679
is exactly what you say to Trump
to make sure you don't work for him

775
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:17.239
anymore. So, I mean,
it doesn't matter if you're on the Apprentice

776
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:22.639
or if you're you know, work
in real estate deals in Queen's, it

777
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:25.519
doesn't matter. I think there's no
way Haley is going to be the VP.

778
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.280
She has definitely decided that is not
her course of action. Now,

779
01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:34.239
she might be looking to run in
twenty eight. That might be something that

780
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:37.280
she's looking at seriously. But Tim
Scott, I think is a fun pick.

781
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:40.320
That would be something that would shut
a lot of people down as far

782
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:44.679
as their general attacks on Trump,
what do you think of that VP?

783
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:52.039
Before we go to the next caller, Tim Scott would be a good choice,

784
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:55.920
if I'm not mistaken. Was now
I was gonna say, Nikki Haley,

785
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:02.119
someone appointed Tim Scott to his position
and then he ran. I think

786
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:08.280
he'd be a good choice for those
of us that really don't care for Trump,

787
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:13.320
you know, really wouldn't make any
difference. I wouldn't vote for him

788
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:17.400
just because he had Tim Scott as
a VP pick. But yeah, and

789
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:22.880
also based on this last interview of
Nikki Haley, can we start referring to

790
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:29.400
her as the little brown girl as
she refers to herself. So I thought

791
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.840
that was someone's gonna run with that
call of racist for for using the same

792
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:37.599
terminology she did when she was talking
about growing up the little brown girl,

793
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:43.480
which speaks a lot for the for
the for the attitude of South Carolina.

794
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:45.559
I mean, you know, they've
had an Indian American as their governor.

795
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:52.000
Very South Carolina is not like it
was years ago. They've really become more,

796
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:58.800
I think, more progressive than North
Carolina. But yet they still hold

797
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:02.320
tight to a lot of conservative things
that North Carolina has given up. A

798
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:07.000
while back, so it's going to
be interesting to see how it plays out.

799
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.679
But I think Timscott to make a
great choice. Yeah, brass tacks.

800
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:14.440
I think South Carolina is still kind
of classic conservative in general, but

801
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:19.840
they're progressive as far as you know, not being part of the backwards ass

802
01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:23.199
part of being conservatives, you know, which, which is the way I

803
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:30.559
would put it in the middle of
Alabama right right, or or other places

804
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:35.119
not far from me, just you
know, I could probably throw a baseball

805
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:38.079
at it. Anyway. It is
what it is, and we are what

806
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:42.960
we're doing here, so I think
it's right about the right time to hear

807
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:45.320
from this caller. It looks like
we got Harlan on the line, and

808
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:49.039
I think he was on there before
we went to break, but hopefully he

809
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:52.440
hasn't fallen asleep on me. Harlan, what's on your mind? I know

810
01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:54.519
you've been listening, and what do
you got to say about all this?

811
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:06.119
Op? Maybe we don't. It
appears as though I have Harlan on the

812
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:15.679
line, but I don't know.
HM shouldn't be muted and he can mute

813
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.039
himself. Could be, Harlan,
you could be talking to your mute button.

814
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:23.840
I'm gonna just go for a quick
mic check to Jimmy James then,

815
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:28.000
just to make sure our phone lines
are operating properly. Jimmy, you hear

816
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:32.960
me, right, Yeah, there
you go. So we can hear Jimmy

817
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:35.599
and Jimmy can hear us. Just
hang on, Jimmy. I might come

818
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:39.280
back to you real quick, especially
if we can't get Harlan on the line.

819
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:45.960
Let's try one more time. Harlan, Okay, I don't know if

820
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:49.239
you can hear us, but we
cannot hear you. Maybe you put your

821
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:54.920
phone down, I'll put you back
on hold, and perhaps you'll come back

822
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:57.800
around or call back in. I'm
not sure which, but either way,

823
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.199
all right, So continuing on,
be Pete, anything else you want to

824
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:05.519
cover? Or shall we continue on
with this discussion about the GOP. Should

825
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:08.679
we go back to Jimmy James?
What do you think, my co host?

826
01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:13.159
We go back to Jimmy. I'm
just sitting here trying to decide where

827
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:16.079
I'm gonna put my bet money on
the NFL this weekend. Oh, well,

828
01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:18.280
what do we got going on there? By the way, We're down

829
01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:23.639
to playoffs right? The wild card
was last week? I think? Yeah,

830
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:28.639
Divisional round now you got, you
got San Francisco going against Green Bay,

831
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:34.239
Detroit just going against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bills are playing the Chiefs.

832
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:40.960
It's gonna be interesting, and oh
crap, the Ravens and the Texans,

833
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:46.480
and out of those they'll move on
to the next round next weekend.

834
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:51.360
So you'll have two AFC, two
NFC teams played to see who's going to

835
01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:55.440
the super Bowl. Well, I
don't know why, but I feel like,

836
01:05:55.639 --> 01:05:58.800
and don't ever bet with me,
because I will pick. And by

837
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:00.920
the way, if you want to
know who's to win the Super Bowl,

838
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:04.079
ask me and then bet against it, because I have only picked a Super

839
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:09.639
Bowl correctly three times in my entire
life, and I've tried to pick a

840
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:17.400
winning team since what nineteen seventy nine. Anyway, anyway you go about it,

841
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:23.000
it's hard to pick. I mean, you know, I think the

842
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:25.840
lines are gonna take care of Tampa
Bay and get them out of the way.

843
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:30.440
Packers and Packers in San Francisco.
That's a tough call. I think

844
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.559
San Francisco might come out on top
of that because they're playing in San Francisco,

845
01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:39.159
Bills and Chiefs. That's going to
be an interesting game because they're playing

846
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:43.199
in Buffalo. Oh, playing in
Buffalo, they're going to be Exans.

847
01:06:43.320 --> 01:06:45.960
But out of that, I couldn't
even down to, you know, eight

848
01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:49.440
teams. I can't really figure who's
going to be going to the Super Bowl.

849
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:53.360
The one that worries me is the
Chiefs fields. Yeah, that could

850
01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:57.280
go the way. Well, here's
the thing, playing in Buffalo. Now,

851
01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:00.679
they they did postpone the game per
snow this week, right, and

852
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:04.119
then they had to play it on
Monday or something. Kansas City used to

853
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:08.039
playing in the snow. I mean, they've had a lot of games in

854
01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:12.559
their own stadium where snow's been blowing
sideway. So it's but it's not Buffalo

855
01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:16.400
snow. That's you know, it's
not You play Buffalo at home is tough.

856
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:19.920
And that's where the Chiefs messed up
by losing out towards the end of

857
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:25.679
the regular season. They lost home
field advantage and uh now they got it

858
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:28.199
to travel. So it's going to
be interesting to see how they do with

859
01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:30.800
Buffalo. But that's gonna be the
toughest one for me to make a call

860
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:35.400
off. Well, yeah, so
the Lions got I think San Francisco is

861
01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.880
going to be the Packers who knows. Last week's game of the Packers was

862
01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:43.880
good, but I don't know if
they can stand up San Francisco. In

863
01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:48.840
San Francisco see that Buffalo Chiefs game. I would favor Buffalo, but I

864
01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:53.840
might be right about this because it
is tough to play Buffalo at home in

865
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:59.400
this time of year. It is. It is Buffalo's last week. Buffalo

866
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:03.920
had a good game, so it's
gonna be interesting. Kansas City is not

867
01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:09.599
the team it was a year ago. They've got injuries, They've gotten to

868
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:13.760
Mahomes and have beat him up a
little bit, so I'm curious to see

869
01:08:13.760 --> 01:08:15.439
what's gonna happen. I'm thinking the
Bills are gonna pull that one off.

870
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:19.239
Yeah, it could. It makes
sense to me because again, Buffalo is

871
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:24.439
tough to play at home at this
time of year. They always have been,

872
01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:27.439
and that that that's just a standard. But of course I'm the guy

873
01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.479
who bet on them every time.
When they lost the Super Bowl, Okay,

874
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:34.920
I kept thinking they would win every
single time. I picked the Bills

875
01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.439
four times. When they lost.
I think it was so you know,

876
01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:44.640
but still, I've been to Buffalo
and I'll tell you that snow there is

877
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:48.520
unlike any other place I've ever been. The cold weather is unlike any other

878
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:53.479
place I've ever been, and the
people that live there are accustomed to it,

879
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:57.840
unlike any other place I've ever been. Now, true, I haven't

880
01:08:57.880 --> 01:09:00.439
been to some of the frozen countries
in Europe, et cetera, et cetera.

881
01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:04.079
But just telling you, man,
it's unique. I used to I

882
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:11.319
used to go ice fishing or fishing
on the Niagara River in February with my

883
01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:16.199
stepfather. And yeah, that that
is a cold like like you can't.

884
01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:23.479
I can't describe it. I don't. I don't anyway. Yeah, the

885
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:27.680
first time I went to Buffalo and
ever set foot there, I'm not sure

886
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:30.239
if I touched the ground because I
was riding in the back of the truck.

887
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:32.840
I jump out of the back of
the truck and I was about up

888
01:09:32.880 --> 01:09:38.640
to my waist in snow. And
it was crazy, like, how is

889
01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:42.479
it you pulled into a place and
there is that much snow behind the box

890
01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:45.039
truck? How the hell did you
even do that? I don't know anyway,

891
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.680
this guy must have backed into a
snow bank just to screw with me,

892
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:51.119
I'm thinking, but maybe maybe not. I know this much. I

893
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:55.039
looked at the place I said,
crap. We went, We drove all

894
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:58.720
this way from Jersey and there's no
way they're gonna put on a show.

895
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:01.279
This town is not going to move
today. I doubt the restaurants are open.

896
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:03.800
Well, we go find a place
to sit down, get a cup

897
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:08.159
of coffee and eat. And it
was open. People were there, and

898
01:10:08.600 --> 01:10:13.920
by the time the afternoon came around, yeah, they had taken care of

899
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:17.159
it. People were moving around and
the show was fine, no problems.

900
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:20.199
It was like nothing happened. And
I'm telling you, it was like two

901
01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.880
feet of snow and I'm going,
what the hell? I never seen people

902
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:27.720
do this before. And they looked
at me like I was crazy taking that

903
01:10:27.800 --> 01:10:30.039
nobody was going to show up.
And that was for a local show in

904
01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:33.479
Buffalo. I forget the name of
the place, but it was some common

905
01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:38.880
club name, you know, the
whatever outrageous name place, and you know,

906
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.279
with all the crazy directions and a
bunch of things up from the seventies,

907
01:10:42.319 --> 01:10:44.840
a disco ball still tucked up in
the ceiling, you know, kind

908
01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:49.560
of joint. And yeah, those
kids came out for a metal show that

909
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:53.640
started at like six pm. When
we got there at about noon, and

910
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:57.239
it looked to me like nothing was
going to move that day or for several

911
01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:01.039
days in that town. So Buffalo's
different sort of place. Jimmy James,

912
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:04.079
We're gonna go back around to you
and maybe try and get to Harlan next

913
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:08.640
but uh, anything you want to
add, I know you might have something

914
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:12.640
to say about that Lions thing.
Uh. BP thinks the Lions are gonna

915
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:15.479
win this round. You think they're
gonna go all the way? Jimmy James,

916
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:23.600
what's up? Oh? Yes,
they will win a heading to the

917
01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:29.680
Big Bowl. So you're saying super
bowieve or may not be called chuckles.

918
01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:35.680
Uh, you know what, you
might be right, which is like a

919
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:40.479
comedy club part of the week and
a music club another part of the week.

920
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:46.640
I think that sounds about right.
That sounds correct and bubba yeah,

921
01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:54.159
okay, good. Oh I'm the
BP thing. I'm gonna say, Yeah,

922
01:11:54.199 --> 01:12:00.760
you've got no worries with daily and
now here you learn the correct Jimmy

923
01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:04.640
James answer and the VP pick.
You know, Trump's already said he knows

924
01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:10.640
who he's picking, right. I
think that's just a psychological trick to make

925
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:15.960
everyone on their best behavior, though, or to make them drop their pretext

926
01:12:16.119 --> 01:12:19.880
on because if he already made his
selection, then nobody else is buying for

927
01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:25.199
the job. He's just not announcing
it. But you know, I doubt

928
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:28.640
that that's true because he couldn't.
He can't help himself put announce something like

929
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:30.199
that if he knows it for sure. I'm thinking, Jimmy, what do

930
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:36.239
you think? I'm pretty sure he's
got it down fifty to fifty. I

931
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:41.039
think it could go two ways.
Here's the real choice. It ain't Dan

932
01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:46.279
Quayle, and ain't the black guy
from South Carolina an ant the thirty year

933
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:58.079
old swami and the correct answer Senator
Ted Kruz or equally possible Governor Christy Noman.

934
01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:02.000
And also i'd ever got my real
parts down about Shakespeare. But I'll

935
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:06.319
let you guys toss around what I
just said. Well, no problem,

936
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:10.920
We'll go to Harlan next. But
go ahead and hit your Shakespeare thing if

937
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.880
you want, because I got you. If you think that's the pick Ted

938
01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:18.520
Cruz, that would be that would
be a wild pick. I don't know

939
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:24.399
how he could square that exactly.
Didn't cruise good? What do you mean?

940
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:30.319
Well? I thought Ted Cruz is
sup bordered. Yeah, but it

941
01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:39.119
just seems too establishment for him to
pick him. He's not a senator.

942
01:13:39.279 --> 01:13:44.439
Ted Cruz is not an you think
he is. But he's not that guy

943
01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:47.359
in Florida Rubio if that's what you're
think. No, No, he's not

944
01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:55.319
Rubio. I'm not saying that at
all. But last of the people that

945
01:13:55.399 --> 01:14:00.800
were elected in Yeah, but the
last of the two any party people that

946
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:04.479
went fully into the GOP fold,
right, is Ted Cruz. That's why

947
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:13.039
he's still there. Wow, why
he's still there. He's there because the

948
01:14:13.159 --> 01:14:18.840
voters too. And actually it's in
for the fight of his life because well,

949
01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:25.119
surprise, surprise, his district has
been solely filled with new people.

950
01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:32.000
Anyway. And Shakespeare, Uh,
yeah, I think it's creed to me.

951
01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:40.520
You're called that time that was very
big about all these girls and other

952
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:45.199
idiots put on their Facebook to thy
unknown, to thine own self be true.

953
01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:54.600
I remember you never why I raged
one that permitted a chat because it's

954
01:14:54.760 --> 01:15:02.960
stupid, because it means exactly the
opposite of what they think it. I

955
01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:06.680
don't recall it. But but but
I agree with your sentiment. Yeah,

956
01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:12.640
it's the Uh, it's definitely the
misunderstood idealism that comes of it, you

957
01:15:12.720 --> 01:15:15.159
know, much like in the eye
of the Beholder and all that. People

958
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:20.840
have very very miss misplaced ideas about
what these things really meant when you put

959
01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:25.640
them in context with where they came
from. Pulling them out of context and

960
01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:29.159
you know, turning them into something
else is one thing, and that's what

961
01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:34.439
they've done. But they somehow think
they're making an illusion. Yeah, that's

962
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:39.279
kind of the Bible in that way
when you see it. Mm hmm.

963
01:15:41.279 --> 01:15:45.800
Yeah, people that misuse the people, right, People misuse a lot of

964
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:48.039
things from the Bible the same way. And there are some people that believe

965
01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:53.079
that it is the character whoever it
may have been, that was William Shakespeare

966
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:56.600
that might have written the King James
Bible as well, you know, translated

967
01:15:56.640 --> 01:16:00.159
it into that similar type language.
Uh. There there are some people that

968
01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:11.399
say that as well. Right tells
me Willie was busy at the time.

969
01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:17.680
Mm hmm. But my main grape
is, of course, everybody's favorite uh

970
01:16:19.560 --> 01:16:26.039
parked the maligned world Shakespeare there,
And I'm sure you love this. What's

971
01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:30.319
your favorite part of Shakespeare? Let
me guess what do we do first?

972
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:34.720
Chuck? Uh, you tell me, man I I I I've got,

973
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:39.800
you know, odd ideas about what
I appreciate about Shakespeare. Again, I

974
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:45.560
liked the Sonnets a lot, and
there they were. There, they were

975
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:49.239
loaded with unique images that people just
pass right on by and just you know,

976
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:53.960
take at their surface level and never
think about. But they were very

977
01:16:54.119 --> 01:16:59.960
complex in their construct and had a
lot more to say aside from the typical

978
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:04.439
well you know, high school level
analysis most people give to it. And

979
01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:08.239
uh so, so that's that's me. Outside of that, I mean,

980
01:17:08.279 --> 01:17:12.439
you know plays, I mean,
Hamlet as Pedestrian as it is is my

981
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:19.199
favorite among them. So, oh, you know your favorite quote. I

982
01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:25.800
can hear you saying it right now, what do we do first? First

983
01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:33.680
of all the lawyers, right,
yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah,

984
01:17:33.880 --> 01:17:38.800
And Harlem's going, amen, Amen, he's on hold right now,

985
01:17:38.960 --> 01:17:42.720
going amen, that's right. I
don't know, let's try to find that.

986
01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:48.600
Let's try and find that. Of
course, you remember which you can't

987
01:17:48.760 --> 01:17:58.239
remember the person the in the book
that said that Ama correctly with Satan and

988
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:01.960
of course this is always they,
of course Stalin and Hitler. Yeah,

989
01:18:02.680 --> 01:18:06.560
first of all, you do kill
all the lawyers, because of course,

990
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:14.119
in the absence the law, there
is no freedom. You just live by

991
01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:17.960
day by day like a cave man. I guess okay. Well, the

992
01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:24.319
most bizarre truths in the world are
often told by the most evil people because

993
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:33.199
or the most evil characters in literature, they often have a seemingly uninterrupted stream

994
01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:41.920
of consciousness that sometimes cuts right to
the root of many issues. And indeed,

995
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:47.079
I see some of the greatest truths
in literature told by those characters who

996
01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:53.119
believe themselves a hero in their own
narratives, and they are usually the evil

997
01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:57.840
ones. It's quite often you'll get
some profound truths from those characters. So

998
01:18:58.199 --> 01:19:00.960
yeah, I still stand by that
that's still a good idea. Doesn't mean

999
01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:05.800
that what they do with it afterwards
is good, but yeah, that's me.

1000
01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:10.079
What can I say? Let me
put you on hold and see if

1001
01:19:10.119 --> 01:19:15.560
we can get to hear from Harlan
directly this time. And Harlan, I've

1002
01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:17.640
joined you back in, but we
couldn't hear you last time. Maybe we

1003
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:26.399
got you this time. How are
you, sir? Okay? Still no

1004
01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:31.800
Harlan anyway, meat Pete. I
don't know what's going on with Harlan.

1005
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:35.439
Maybe he put his phone down or
something. Let's check in one more time,

1006
01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:43.640
Harlan. Harlan, I put you
back on all right? Well,

1007
01:19:43.800 --> 01:19:45.439
hopefully he's okay, and he's not, you know, caught up in some

1008
01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:50.880
snow somewhere or gotten into a scuffle
at the awful Waffle, because you know,

1009
01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:54.279
that kind of thing happens to him
on the road or could happen to

1010
01:19:54.359 --> 01:19:58.359
him on the road as he travels. I do wish you to be safe,

1011
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:01.279
Harlan. I hope everything's okay.
I'm not hearing any sound from you.

1012
01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:13.279
All right, Let's see our phone
lines are working. Everything seems to

1013
01:20:13.319 --> 01:20:17.720
be working. Harlan, one more
time, maybe are you there? Nope,

1014
01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:21.039
Okay, I'm just gonna put you
on hold. And how much time

1015
01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:25.479
do we have left? Jeez,
let's see, we got about a half

1016
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:29.199
hour, so beat Pete. What
else should we cover? Should we go

1017
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:33.119
back around to Captain Trips? What's
on your mind? We go back around

1018
01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:38.560
to Captain. I think I've got
my bets settled now, so we're gonna

1019
01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:42.399
let things ride and see if we're
making a little money this weekend. Ah.

1020
01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:45.039
Well, what is the odds with
the Chiefs and Bills? By the

1021
01:20:45.079 --> 01:20:47.680
way, I mean, do they
have any odds? Are you going with

1022
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:53.199
even bets or are you trying that
now? Predicted? Have you seen the

1023
01:20:53.279 --> 01:20:57.840
predicted website. By the way,
I don't do We're I bet football.

1024
01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:00.119
I bet football. Forget the odds. We got a group of guys that

1025
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:04.039
get together and we start at the
beginning of the playoffs, and the first

1026
01:21:04.119 --> 01:21:09.319
round of off is twenty bucks each
person per game. Then the next round

1027
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:12.760
goes up to fifty, then the
next round goes up to seventy five.

1028
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:18.600
Then Super Bowl usually it's one hundred. Everybody puts in nice and I mean

1029
01:21:18.640 --> 01:21:21.520
it's just a way that way,
you know, you can play odds if

1030
01:21:21.560 --> 01:21:25.680
you want. With the online betting
now, I have no idea how they're

1031
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:30.439
setting odds. It's become big business. And everybody hears complaining in this state

1032
01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:33.640
because we legalize online betting, but
we don't have a portal for it yet

1033
01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:39.840
and all this crap. So you
know, figure they won't at you get

1034
01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:43.920
a poker game going in your house
and they control video poker. But online

1035
01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:49.720
betting is fine because they're sponsoring our
elections. You know that that's the mistake

1036
01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:54.600
of the guys who control those machines
that are in the various convenience stores that

1037
01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:59.199
nobody's supposed to pay attention to.
Right, I love it there's a couple

1038
01:21:59.239 --> 01:22:01.840
of convenience stores near me that are
clearly places that are set up just for

1039
01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:06.880
those machines, because the stuff that's
sitting on the shelf has clearly been sitting

1040
01:22:06.920 --> 01:22:11.079
on the shelf a long time.
Uh, And the whole purpose of the

1041
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:15.640
place, it's just those machines.
Yeah, it's kind of key here because

1042
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:24.199
it depends on the county, and
it depends on the county prosecutor and the

1043
01:22:24.279 --> 01:22:28.960
sheriff. Some counties have cracked down
on them. Some counties say, okay,

1044
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:31.840
we'll let you operate, but you
can only have certain games. Then

1045
01:22:31.840 --> 01:22:35.239
you got other places that says,
okay, you can operate because we got

1046
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:39.920
bigger stuff to worry about. You're
illegal, and we're letting you know you're

1047
01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:45.479
illegal, but we're not coming out
a bus unless we have problems. Some

1048
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:47.039
counties, the only reason the place
get shut down is because they end up

1049
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:53.800
getting robbed in the middle of the
night. So various counties, various rules.

1050
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:56.680
Some places you can go in and
they've got every kind of game you

1051
01:22:56.720 --> 01:23:00.640
could possibly play. A lot of
it is just online computer stuff now,

1052
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:06.000
But I play the old the old
video poker machines, the old ones,

1053
01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:09.560
not this new stuff. I don't
even I don't even put my money in

1054
01:23:09.640 --> 01:23:14.880
them. But it's it's amazing how
much money is generated at these places.

1055
01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:17.920
And yet the law is you're not
supposed to be able to redeem for cash.

1056
01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:26.079
You can redeem for merchandise and things
like that. So and one guy

1057
01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:30.399
got real creative. He started giving
away different sized Teddy Bears and then he

1058
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:34.039
would buy the Teddy Bear back from
you and pay you in cash. So,

1059
01:23:34.520 --> 01:23:38.199
I mean a thousand guys staying up
at night figuring out how to get

1060
01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:44.960
around the law. Yeah, I
love it. Their care yet. Yeah,

1061
01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:48.119
casinos at Cherokee. We're getting ready
to open up another casino up here

1062
01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:54.600
here Roanoke, Virginia, somewhere on
the our side. Two other tribes are

1063
01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:58.359
trying to put in. So we
have allowed casinos, we have the lottery,

1064
01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:02.960
we have powerball, now, we
have online sports betting. But they

1065
01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:08.039
won't settle the question on the video
pogram machines. It's crazy. And the

1066
01:24:08.079 --> 01:24:11.279
reason they don't do it is because
it's so hard to keep up with the

1067
01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:14.399
tax that it would generate. You
know, they said, oh, there's

1068
01:24:14.439 --> 01:24:15.479
no way that we could do this, Well, yeah, there is.

1069
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:19.920
Every one of those machines gives you
an internal run. It tells you how

1070
01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:25.000
what bills were put in it,
what denomination, what it hit on,

1071
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:29.680
what the payout was, what the
daily register is on the whole thing.

1072
01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:33.199
So it would be very easy to
do taxes on it, but it would

1073
01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:36.079
involve a lot of hours to keep
up with it. With the number of

1074
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:41.079
machines, they don't have the personnel
to go around and and force stuff.

1075
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:45.359
So, you know, but online
betting, see, these guys are giving

1076
01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:49.199
their contributions to the legislators every time
they run. So yeah, we're gonna

1077
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:53.560
allow. We're gonna allow it.
Now online betting is the next big thing.

1078
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:57.279
Well, you know what's funny is
if you just added the enforcement arm

1079
01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:01.800
to the lottery commissioned people, it
would take very little expansion in personnel to

1080
01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:06.199
handle it, and it would probably
collect more than scratch off tickets in a

1081
01:25:06.279 --> 01:25:13.319
hurry if they did it that way, and even a little more it would

1082
01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:16.239
be a little more intricate in trying
to keep up and enforce a bunch of

1083
01:25:16.319 --> 01:25:24.359
video pogram machines. You think about
years ago, the way the organized groups

1084
01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:31.000
would get into the jukebox business or
slot machine business and it's eating with the

1085
01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:34.319
number of machines in this state,
it would take some personnel to have to

1086
01:25:34.399 --> 01:25:39.039
go over the books and make sure
they're being the right amount of taxes on

1087
01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:42.880
what they're taking in. Yeah,
but it would be real simple if you

1088
01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:46.800
have lottery commissioned people that stop by
at all of those places generally speaking,

1089
01:25:47.159 --> 01:25:51.600
right, and you basically have them
have to be licensed and have their machines

1090
01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:58.159
hooked into a network same way that
the lottery machines are. End a story,

1091
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:02.199
you have an unregistered machine against seized. That's that's how you go about

1092
01:26:02.239 --> 01:26:06.079
it. And guaranteed a lot of
people would immediately sign up to get those

1093
01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:11.920
licenses, which would create a sudden
burst of revenue right away. And then

1094
01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:15.000
yeah, you could easily collect and
do it remotely most of the time,

1095
01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:19.000
and you can see in real time
things being collected and everything else, just

1096
01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:23.720
like the lottery machines do. It's
not that hard. Gtech has that stuff.

1097
01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:28.520
I mean, that's old technology,
but I know it's all technology.

1098
01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:35.600
If you want in the machine to
be able to go and nice machines as

1099
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:40.439
possibility, and people wouldn't play them
if they think the there's a chance somebody

1100
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:43.000
could get in there and tell that
machine what to hit and what not to

1101
01:26:43.079 --> 01:26:45.000
hit. People will stop, They'll
go find something else put their money off.

1102
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:53.079
Well yeah, maybe so leap,
I know, okay, maybe so.

1103
01:26:53.520 --> 01:26:56.640
So with all that in mind,
uh geez, let's see, I'm

1104
01:26:56.720 --> 01:26:59.720
checking at the phone lines again.
Let's see if we got anybody else on.

1105
01:27:00.319 --> 01:27:06.840
Looks like we might. Well,
let's see who's on there, quick

1106
01:27:06.960 --> 01:27:11.359
check. No, so far,
Harlan's still hanging on the line, but

1107
01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:14.840
I haven't heard from him yet.
Got Jimmy James hanging there, and we

1108
01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:18.239
still got Captain trips with us,
I think. So. Anyway, we

1109
01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:23.720
got about twenty three minutes left here
in the show, and we are going

1110
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:27.199
to end abruptly so we can get
to Aaron Franz on the other side of

1111
01:27:27.239 --> 01:27:30.520
the hour. So if you want
to join us three one nine, five,

1112
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:34.319
two seven five zero one six.
I'm just thinking there's a way to

1113
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:42.640
integrate it into the Lottery Commission without
too much trouble. It could be done,

1114
01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:48.680
all right. Look at use Cherokee
as an example. Cherokee Casino,

1115
01:27:49.199 --> 01:27:53.920
for the most part when it opened
up, was all video poker, video

1116
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:58.199
slot scenes, video poker machines,
those things are all hooked up in the

1117
01:27:58.279 --> 01:28:01.319
house. When you get there,
they give you a a swipe card and

1118
01:28:01.680 --> 01:28:06.520
you put your money in. It
tells you how much you put in,

1119
01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:10.920
and at the end of the year
they send you a ten ninety nine for

1120
01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:14.319
all your winnings for you to declare
on you and pay on your taxes.

1121
01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:18.359
You could do that these video poker
machines, but you would have to have

1122
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:23.560
a central processing place that would be
able to handle the electronic data coming in

1123
01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:27.680
and be able to go through it, because they would not only if they

1124
01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:30.039
had to report to the state what
they were doing, they would also have

1125
01:28:30.159 --> 01:28:34.960
to report to the state who won
what. Now video poker machines, now,

1126
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.800
some of these places will only pay
Let's say you hit them for two

1127
01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:43.640
thousand bucks, they'll only pay you
out five hundred dollars a day, So

1128
01:28:43.760 --> 01:28:47.239
you're going back there for three more
days to get what you won from them

1129
01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:50.520
on the first day. And a
lot of them say that cuts down on

1130
01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:55.239
the chance of us being robbed because
we don't have to have large cash amounts

1131
01:28:55.279 --> 01:28:59.760
in here to pay out a ten
thousand dollars win. So, and they

1132
01:28:59.800 --> 01:29:03.520
make a point, but they don't
stop you from putting whatever you want into

1133
01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:10.680
that machine, so if you do
hit, you know it's I got into

1134
01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:13.920
an argument with one on one time
I hit for about twenty five hundred dollars.

1135
01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:15.600
Well, we only pay out five
hundred dollars a day. I said,

1136
01:29:15.640 --> 01:29:18.720
well, you had no problem with
me putting eight hundred in that machine

1137
01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:24.079
before it hit. He says,
yeah, I will point. I said,

1138
01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:27.920
well, I want my money,
Well you can get it, but

1139
01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:31.159
I only pay five hundred dollars a
day. I said, I didn't put

1140
01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:34.479
my money in there over the course
of four days. He says, well,

1141
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:41.920
I could keep track of it and
issue you a ten ninety nine for

1142
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:45.079
tax purposes. I said, well, I got no problem with that if

1143
01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:46.600
you keep track of how much money
I put in there on the times I

1144
01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:50.399
came in here and didn't hit,
because my losses could be greater. I

1145
01:29:50.439 --> 01:29:54.359
said. But here's the problem.
You get. Some old, blue haired

1146
01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:57.840
old lady comes in here with a
twenty. She puts it in a machine.

1147
01:29:58.279 --> 01:30:00.600
She hits for three hundred bucks.
She made three hundred off of twenty.

1148
01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:03.880
You pay her. She goes out
the door. I come in here

1149
01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:09.079
and put five hundred dollars in this
machine. I hit it for six hundred

1150
01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:12.399
dollars, You're only gonna pay me
five hundred, and I gotta come back

1151
01:30:12.399 --> 01:30:15.319
tomorrow for the other hundred. You're
only down one hundred with me because I

1152
01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:19.880
put five hundred in it. You're
paying out six. But with her,

1153
01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:23.920
she put in a twenty and she
walked out with two hundred and eighty dollars

1154
01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:27.560
profit. But she got hers today. And you know, I said,

1155
01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:30.800
it's just not right. If you're
gonna regulate how much you pay out,

1156
01:30:30.319 --> 01:30:33.199
then you got to regulate how much
people put in. Yeah. See.

1157
01:30:33.239 --> 01:30:36.800
But the argument there, of course, is that the lottery doesn't because you

1158
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:40.680
can go and hit the lottery for
two three hundred bucks and walk out like

1159
01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:44.800
you said, and nobody reports anything. Uh, you go over five hundred

1160
01:30:44.840 --> 01:30:47.199
dollars in most states, then guess
what, you can't even get your cash

1161
01:30:47.279 --> 01:30:51.840
payout? Right, you gotta it's
like five hundred six ten, it's over,

1162
01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:58.279
it's over. It's over five hundred
dollars. Yeah, you're gonna you're

1163
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:01.760
gonna be able to cast that in
store. Over a certain amount of winnings,

1164
01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:04.880
you have to pay tax on,
right, and if you hit big,

1165
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:09.560
you know, lottery agency, you
have to catch that in at the

1166
01:31:09.680 --> 01:31:15.199
office, and they do all the
subsequent paperwork, and you pay taxes on

1167
01:31:15.279 --> 01:31:17.840
it out and they get they pull
their taxes off the top, of course,

1168
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:20.600
but that's what I'm saying. Though, you win five hundred bucks,

1169
01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:24.880
so you can walk away. I've
seen guys turn around and, by the

1170
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:28.760
way, sell it to the store. There's another thing people do so they

1171
01:31:28.760 --> 01:31:30.199
don't end up with anything on their
taxes. They'll go, look, just

1172
01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:33.119
give me the five hundred. You
can keep the other you know, it's

1173
01:31:33.119 --> 01:31:36.960
a seven hundred dollars one or whatever. Yes, true with the state.

1174
01:31:38.079 --> 01:31:42.920
Also, like let's say if you've
got a let's say you've got an unpaid

1175
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:49.479
violation or something, or you have
a paid you have a lapse of insurance

1176
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:56.600
fine of fifty bucks from DMV or
child child supports a good one for payments,

1177
01:31:57.239 --> 01:32:01.000
or you owe something else, or
you for state taxes from four years

1178
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:05.720
ago. Before they give you your
winnings, they make sure the state doesn't

1179
01:32:05.760 --> 01:32:09.479
have any claim on anything, because
if they do, they take that out.

1180
01:32:09.560 --> 01:32:12.680
Then also, oh yeah, so
a lot of people with somebody else

1181
01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:15.840
to cash in the ticket give them
one hundred out of the eight hundred that

1182
01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:20.640
they wont just so they can walk
away with seven and nobody's making them pay

1183
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:26.439
for those past fins they haven't paid, right, It's great. It's it's

1184
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:31.239
like selling food stamps almost yep,
yep, same thing. You know.

1185
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:35.439
Most people do that at about fifty
cents on the dollar, and that's the

1186
01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:38.880
way it is. And even with
these cards, people have figured out how

1187
01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:41.039
to do it. It was a
lot easier with the paper ones. But

1188
01:32:41.640 --> 01:32:44.800
even with the cards, people have
figured out how to make those transfers.

1189
01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:47.760
So it is what it is.
So look, we've got about seventeen minutes

1190
01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:51.039
left, and I think it would
be a good time to get around everybody's

1191
01:32:51.640 --> 01:32:55.920
final words, final thoughts for the
week. I want to remind everybody who

1192
01:32:56.000 --> 01:33:00.359
is on the membership list at ocheli
dot com that I need an email from

1193
01:33:00.439 --> 01:33:01.760
you to make sure that you're going
to be included on the list. It

1194
01:33:01.800 --> 01:33:05.760
will help me organize that list when
I send out the archives, because I'm

1195
01:33:05.760 --> 01:33:09.920
going to start that at the end
of the month. Here and throughout the

1196
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:14.560
year, you're gonna get the first
decade of the Ocell Effects stuff, which

1197
01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:18.079
is not just my show, but
the shows I produced. Other audios will

1198
01:33:18.119 --> 01:33:25.399
be included about five thousand audios altogether. MP three's mostly podcasts, but other

1199
01:33:25.479 --> 01:33:29.920
audios included. And that's what you're
gonna get for your membership at Ocelli dot

1200
01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:32.720
com if you sign up now.
I did raise the price, but the

1201
01:33:32.840 --> 01:33:38.640
thing is I hadn't raised the price
since twenty fifteen when I first opened up

1202
01:33:38.720 --> 01:33:45.399
memberships, so you know, seven
years later inflation plus you're getting the additional

1203
01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:48.279
archives will be mailed to you.
And at the end of the year,

1204
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:54.560
if you have stayed with me all
year, you'll have the complete first decade

1205
01:33:55.239 --> 01:33:59.760
of all the Ocelli stuff and the
people I produced. Pierce Redman, Jeffrey

1206
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:04.399
At, Aaron Franz, Uncle Jack
Blood, I mean plays it goes on

1207
01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:09.039
and on, Bob Wilson, Chris
Graves, all those people that I produced,

1208
01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:14.079
well, their shows will be included
as well. So complete archives as

1209
01:34:14.119 --> 01:34:15.479
best I have them, all right, are going to go out to you

1210
01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:20.039
guys. And that's starting from twenty
thirteen to twenty twenty three, So ten

1211
01:34:20.159 --> 01:34:24.079
years worth of stuff, a decade
of the O'Kelly effect could be signed up

1212
01:34:24.319 --> 01:34:27.880
for a membership at o'helly dot com. And I've got a couple of different

1213
01:34:28.720 --> 01:34:32.239
variations of that. You can also
get a spot on the supporter wall for

1214
01:34:32.359 --> 01:34:36.000
a one time payment. That's available
as well. I still have the Patreon

1215
01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:39.840
open, even though I don't know
why I do it because it really makes

1216
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:44.800
no progress. And indeed there is
separate from me is O'Kelly and the Greek

1217
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:48.399
rated. Why I'm still doing that
with the Greek Speak Patreon as well,

1218
01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:53.279
but that is no longer included at
o'celly dot com. You got to get

1219
01:34:53.319 --> 01:34:57.920
it through that Patreon. But all
the ocell and the Greek stuff is included

1220
01:34:58.159 --> 01:35:02.319
in the ten years of the Ochi
Effect archives, and hey, every little

1221
01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:05.439
bit of support is going to count. I got massive bills that are gonna

1222
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:10.159
come up in April that are going
to have to renew the website and renew

1223
01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:14.239
some other things. Got about five
hundred extra dollars I got to pay out

1224
01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:19.720
right away, so any support will
go towards that and my well being and

1225
01:35:19.800 --> 01:35:23.439
trying not to freeze to death while
we're dealing with the cold snap here in

1226
01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:30.039
the Southeast is also something you'll be
helping me do. So with that,

1227
01:35:30.399 --> 01:35:32.560
I want to turn it over to
to my co host. I guess we

1228
01:35:32.600 --> 01:35:35.680
should get around to Harlan has an
open line, by the way, and

1229
01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:41.159
he's not responding at all, so
I haven't heard from him. I don't

1230
01:35:41.159 --> 01:35:45.159
know what's going on. I hope
he's okay. We still got Jimmy James

1231
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:46.800
on the phone line, and Captain
Tripps might still be with us as well

1232
01:35:47.279 --> 01:35:51.399
on the skype. Looks like he
is. We lost regular Joe. But

1233
01:35:53.399 --> 01:35:56.079
let's get around to everybody. Be
Pete what he say? Where should we

1234
01:35:56.159 --> 01:36:00.800
start? Oh well, I guess
you could go a verse order. We'll

1235
01:36:00.800 --> 01:36:04.560
start with Jimmy and work all way
backwards. There we go. So Jimmy

1236
01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:11.960
James, let's get you on the
line. And little delay who It just

1237
01:36:12.079 --> 01:36:15.079
made me click on something I didn't
want to click on. Hold on,

1238
01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:19.920
hold on, I got an echo
one two three, one. Okay,

1239
01:36:20.000 --> 01:36:26.520
that's gone, Jimmy. I think
you're back on the line, So uh,

1240
01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:29.840
go ahead and shout out whatever you
want to shout out here before we're

1241
01:36:29.880 --> 01:36:38.199
done. Oh well, it is
sorry you didn't get out, Harley.

1242
01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:42.159
What in the world. Maybe it's
just trying to listen to the show.

1243
01:36:42.720 --> 01:36:48.920
Could be could be either way.
I hope he's all right. That's weird.

1244
01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:55.520
Yeah, go ahead, Jimmy.
Yeah, and the rest at least

1245
01:36:55.680 --> 01:37:04.600
less all your life. All right, so go ahead, Jimmy. Yeah,

1246
01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:12.079
that's negative seven degrees, so always
good luck to the Lions. Have

1247
01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:21.039
just scrowing the Buccaneers. It's gonna
be fun. God bless the mark,

1248
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:31.399
absolutely, Jimmy. I can't argue
with your sentimentality there. Let's hope everybody

1249
01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:35.159
who is hearing the sound of my
voice right now receives a blessing. I

1250
01:37:35.239 --> 01:37:40.720
hope all of you do. Actually, it's time. I think we all

1251
01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:43.560
need to do better this year.
I started out the year a little rough

1252
01:37:43.640 --> 01:37:47.079
myself. Other people are reporting that, but let's see where it all goes.

1253
01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:50.720
I think we can all do better. Captain Trips, anything on your

1254
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:55.479
mind before we close out this show, all right, just a couple little

1255
01:37:55.560 --> 01:37:59.760
things. One, it's currently fifty
five degrees, but it is going down

1256
01:37:59.800 --> 01:38:03.800
to forty tonight in thirty eight tomorrow
night. So I'm right in there with

1257
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:08.439
you, Jimmy James, I know
we're I'm pretty close to that negative seven.

1258
01:38:11.840 --> 01:38:16.520
Sorry, I couldn't resist, no
good conversation. I'm pulling for the

1259
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:20.640
Buccaneers because my Jags fell apart in
the second half of the season. And

1260
01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:25.159
quite frankly, they were just a
disappointment. So I was hoping for the

1261
01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:28.760
Dolphins, but then they froze to
death in Kansas City, and then I

1262
01:38:28.880 --> 01:38:31.119
was going back to my Steelers,
and well, we saw what the Steelers

1263
01:38:31.159 --> 01:38:33.560
did, So right now I'm going
with the Buccaneers, although I don't think

1264
01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:38.239
they're gonna pull it off. I'm
mainly pulling for anybody but the Ravens,

1265
01:38:38.279 --> 01:38:43.000
and that's more just a family dispute. I want to throw one thing out

1266
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:45.680
there, Chuck. I don't know
or if any of you are all familiar

1267
01:38:45.760 --> 01:38:53.479
with this yet. Has anyone looked
into or heard anything about this guy name?

1268
01:38:53.479 --> 01:38:58.000
I think it's David Rogers. Web
released a self published e book called

1269
01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:03.319
The Great Taking Take a look into
It. I've read it. It's it's,

1270
01:39:04.079 --> 01:39:08.640
it's it's making the rounds. I
think Kathain Austin Fitz has addressed it.

1271
01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:13.279
Chris Martinston definitely has addressed it.
Lou Rockwell dot Com had a good

1272
01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:17.720
article on it, and a couple
of people on the Brownstone Institute. It's

1273
01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:21.079
I can't really get into it for
on a two second thing, but take

1274
01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:29.000
a look at it. I think
it would be an excellent discussion and glad

1275
01:39:29.319 --> 01:39:32.560
I like everyone's thought about about Nicky
Haley not not quite full in the post.

1276
01:39:32.600 --> 01:39:35.600
I never thought about Ted Cruz though, that's an interesting thought. Although

1277
01:39:35.640 --> 01:39:42.960
I still like your thought about Tim
Scott, Chuck. I think that's about

1278
01:39:43.000 --> 01:39:45.600
it. Yeah, I think that
would make it enjoyable, and like I

1279
01:39:45.720 --> 01:39:48.680
said, it would be, it
would be actually a very well placed strategic

1280
01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:54.159
middle finger. It's very strategic and
it makes you wonder if if it's not

1281
01:39:54.319 --> 01:39:57.239
in the works. But I noticed
that as well, that that he came

1282
01:39:57.279 --> 01:40:02.279
out immediately endorse him for president.
So it's a thought. It's definitely a

1283
01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:09.600
thought. But I am actually going
to cut off because I got some work

1284
01:40:09.640 --> 01:40:11.640
here. I need to get done, Chuck, you and I need to.

1285
01:40:11.960 --> 01:40:15.960
We'll touch base touch base offline next
week. Yeah, we're definitely going

1286
01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:18.079
to have to. I'm going to
update you on what what's actually gone on.

1287
01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:23.840
Might seek your advice a little bit, but you know, but it's

1288
01:40:24.880 --> 01:40:27.199
it's been an interesting couple of weeks. Let me put it to you that

1289
01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:30.640
way, all right. I know
I've been I've been kind of in communicato,

1290
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:33.000
but then I think I've been working. I don't know, I've lost

1291
01:40:33.119 --> 01:40:36.840
track. I totally understand when Look, when you're putting in seventy eighty one

1292
01:40:36.920 --> 01:40:43.239
hundred hours a week, you know
pull. I'm pulling between sixty and seventy

1293
01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:45.239
every week next, next couple of
weeks. This week was a seventy two

1294
01:40:45.319 --> 01:40:50.199
hour I'm finishing up my seventy two
hours this week, next, the next

1295
01:40:50.239 --> 01:40:54.600
two weeks after that get better,
though. I'm back to only about fifty

1296
01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:57.600
hours a week, which is kind
of where I want to be. So

1297
01:40:58.439 --> 01:41:01.640
stay warm, everybody. The cold
weather is nothing to mess around with.

1298
01:41:01.760 --> 01:41:03.760
I'm glad I don't have to deal
with it like I used to. But

1299
01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:08.359
my heart goes out to all of
you who are dealing with it, and

1300
01:41:08.760 --> 01:41:12.800
we'll talk soon. Right Thanks to
Captain Tripps. Appreciate you for joining us,

1301
01:41:12.960 --> 01:41:16.079
and always you're welcome. You know
the way it is right now,

1302
01:41:16.119 --> 01:41:20.520
it's about thirty degrees according to what
I got here, which is weird because

1303
01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:26.159
it's colder in Georgia than it is
in Florida by a bit. Yeah,

1304
01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:30.359
so yeah, I think I think
this system is kind of right above us,

1305
01:41:30.560 --> 01:41:34.319
and we're just getting the fringes of
it. So it seems to happen

1306
01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:38.880
with the last one. Though.
Last week we got nailed with almost a

1307
01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:43.199
tropical storm for the one day it
was actually kind of wild, just got

1308
01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:46.279
flooded with rain. Yeah, we've
had freezing conditions come in and out,

1309
01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:48.199
you know. For the past week. I've been having a hell of a

1310
01:41:48.279 --> 01:41:51.560
time just trying to keep the heat
up because you know, look, I

1311
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:55.479
could sit in isolate in one room
and stick the dogs in there with me

1312
01:41:55.520 --> 01:41:58.479
if I wanted to, but I
got other people here, so right right,

1313
01:41:58.640 --> 01:42:01.680
Yeah, the other thing I got, I got seven puppies I gotta

1314
01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:05.479
get rid of, which, by
the way, Uh, just for everybody's

1315
01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:11.479
knowledge, poor port Buster has been
fixed, so there won't be any more

1316
01:42:11.640 --> 01:42:16.000
of this odd mini mighty mutts coming
out of the Ocelli house unless he knocked

1317
01:42:16.119 --> 01:42:18.479
up. I hope he didn't,
But I hope he didn't knock up a

1318
01:42:18.640 --> 01:42:23.560
little honey, because if he did, then that means we got one more

1319
01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:29.359
slew, one more litter to come. And I still got to figure out

1320
01:42:29.399 --> 01:42:31.760
what to do with these seven little
mighty mutts. So uh, I wish

1321
01:42:31.840 --> 01:42:35.560
I could help you, but I
just couldn't do it. Well, you

1322
01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:39.520
know, it looked to be if
you need some dogs, I got them,

1323
01:42:40.159 --> 01:42:44.439
just telling you, and I'd love
to send them to some loving homes

1324
01:42:44.880 --> 01:42:46.880
if anybody is in the area,
especially in Georgia or something. If you're

1325
01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:50.840
listening, I know a couple people
do. Yeah, I have the Mini

1326
01:42:50.920 --> 01:42:55.640
Mighty Mutts and they are very cool
and they're a special kind of breed.

1327
01:42:56.279 --> 01:43:00.640
So uh, I'll keep it.
I'm keeping an eye. I haven't I

1328
01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:02.159
haven't seen anybody, and it's looking
for a puff. But if I if

1329
01:43:02.239 --> 01:43:05.560
I catch somebody, I will let
you know. There you go. All

1330
01:43:05.680 --> 01:43:09.840
right, thanks man, appreciate it
anyway, Take care, gentlemen, have

1331
01:43:09.960 --> 01:43:14.199
a good night. Chaptain trips,
so be pete. I'll give you the

1332
01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:16.039
last few minutes here. I've already
kind of made my statement about what I

1333
01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:19.560
want to say regarding you know,
get get in on o'helly dot com.

1334
01:43:19.720 --> 01:43:24.000
Course, any help over there is
appreciated. If you make a contribution,

1335
01:43:24.319 --> 01:43:27.840
it is extremely appreciated. Right now, trying to keep warm, trying to

1336
01:43:27.880 --> 01:43:30.199
keep fed, trying to keep going
here, and like I said, there

1337
01:43:30.239 --> 01:43:33.279
are bills to pay, and I've
been paying them, but man, it

1338
01:43:33.399 --> 01:43:35.920
is getting harder, just like it
is for all of you. So if

1339
01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:42.279
you have the ability to chip in
at o'chelly dot com. So be Pete,

1340
01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:45.039
what's on your mind? Close it
out. You got about six minutes,

1341
01:43:45.800 --> 01:43:50.239
it's yours. Well I'm not gonna
take all six because I'm gonna give

1342
01:43:50.239 --> 01:43:55.199
you a break between now and when
Aaron comes on at the top of the

1343
01:43:55.279 --> 01:43:59.960
hour. So so what I have
to say is kind of short. Everybody,

1344
01:44:00.279 --> 01:44:03.520
just stay as warm as you can. I know it's tough out there.

1345
01:44:04.119 --> 01:44:08.640
I've noticed a lot of places have
opened up more shelters this year than

1346
01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:11.920
they had available last year, so
that a lot of the people that are

1347
01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:15.439
on the street can have a warm
place to go and get out of the

1348
01:44:15.560 --> 01:44:17.359
elements. But you know, it's
that time of year. We're gonna have

1349
01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:21.119
to deal with it now for another
month or so. And here in North

1350
01:44:21.159 --> 01:44:26.079
Carolina, you know, we're lucky. We have fridging cold one day and

1351
01:44:26.399 --> 01:44:30.920
sixty five the next day. So
you know, for what you if you're

1352
01:44:30.920 --> 01:44:33.079
worried about spending too much running your
heat pump, your airc will be kicking

1353
01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:35.319
in in the next couple of days. So just you know, there is

1354
01:44:35.399 --> 01:44:43.000
that that factor. Other than that, I want everybody to out there to

1355
01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:46.880
support your local food banks. They're
getting hit pretty hard. There's been and

1356
01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:55.720
I've seen an increase in the amount
of trucks that are going to further away

1357
01:44:55.840 --> 01:45:00.960
destinations to people that can't make it
into town to get to the food bank.

1358
01:45:00.600 --> 01:45:04.720
Uh, they'll find some someplace out
there in the middle of the boonies

1359
01:45:04.960 --> 01:45:10.000
and they'll get word out through the
community and on radio and that that they'll

1360
01:45:10.039 --> 01:45:14.000
be at such and such places,
such and such time, and they're bringing

1361
01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:19.039
vegetables and can goods and and things
to help people get through. It's really

1362
01:45:19.119 --> 01:45:25.159
getting tight out there. I know
the mainstream media likes to pump the fact

1363
01:45:25.199 --> 01:45:29.760
that we've got low unemployment and you
know, people are out there working and

1364
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:33.760
people working two jobs. Has gotten
even worse. There's a lot of people

1365
01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:40.880
out there that are off the grid. They're not participating in the workforce.

1366
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:44.920
You know, we've got a lot
of rural people that are used to farming

1367
01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:47.479
and is an economy and is getting
harder on them. So, you know,

1368
01:45:47.880 --> 01:45:51.119
keep an eye out for your neighbors, support your food banks, any

1369
01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:56.000
of these organizations, through any churches
that you belong to. You know,

1370
01:45:56.640 --> 01:45:59.520
do what you can to help them
out. And it's really tough right now.

1371
01:46:00.000 --> 01:46:01.359
We get through this next year,
of all the politics and going on,

1372
01:46:02.279 --> 01:46:06.920
I don't see any change in anything. You know, interest was up

1373
01:46:06.960 --> 01:46:13.359
again last month another four and a
half percent. So they're telling everything's rosy

1374
01:46:13.439 --> 01:46:15.960
and every thing's working out, everything's
working its way back down. But until

1375
01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:18.600
I start seeing prices come down in
a grocery store, I don't believe a

1376
01:46:18.680 --> 01:46:23.520
word of it. You know that
that affects people more than a lot of

1377
01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:27.520
other things. Gas, keat and
food. I mean, those are the

1378
01:46:27.640 --> 01:46:30.720
three basic things that people are struggling
with right now. So do its can

1379
01:46:30.800 --> 01:46:36.680
to help them out. And join
us again next week on Friday, where

1380
01:46:36.800 --> 01:46:42.199
we will provide a couple hours of
entertainment for four airing kicks things off at

1381
01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:45.600
ten o'clock. There. You will
see you next week. Appreciate it.

1382
01:46:45.680 --> 01:46:47.359
B Pete. Always happy to have
you along, and I'm glad that you

1383
01:46:47.479 --> 01:46:49.920
are along with me because I don't
think I could do this by myself.

1384
01:46:50.279 --> 01:46:53.800
And you know, just to tail
onto what you said, I mean,

1385
01:46:53.880 --> 01:46:57.119
in this area, it's like a
couple of cans of beans and a bag

1386
01:46:57.199 --> 01:47:00.079
of rice is about all anybody's getting
from a food bank right now. That's

1387
01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:05.600
where a family of three, literally
like three cansabans and a bag of rice

1388
01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:12.319
and like a bag of discarded chips
from some you know place. This is

1389
01:47:12.399 --> 01:47:16.359
what I've seen. It is what
it is. This is where we're at,

1390
01:47:16.680 --> 01:47:20.560
and unfortunately we are not going to
do well if we're waiting for a

1391
01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:24.439
savior to show up and say,
hey, I'm from the government. I'm

1392
01:47:24.479 --> 01:47:28.119
here to help. So no matter
who you are, where you are,

1393
01:47:28.199 --> 01:47:30.399
when you are, I am merely
Ocellian. All of you
