WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.080 Here we are, and I heard a few things happened while we were off 2 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:15.000 fighting communism and saving the world and stuff. Let's see somebody somebody prognosticated on 3 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:20.559 the future of the auto industry and y'all lost your minds, and uh, 4 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:27.920 let's see here, well, literally, our soldiers are being attacked. That 5 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.560 is that a fair summation of just a couple of the things that I've tried 6 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:41.320 really really hard to ignore, and for the most part, was doing a 7 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.799 pretty good job. Even with the Planet Fitness thing. I I kind of 8 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:51.679 I sniffed what was going on, and I went, nope, nope, 9 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.600 I'm on vacation. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, 10 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:02.439 And yet still got the got the gist of the story. So look, 11 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.280 we're gonna have to cover these things. I know they're gonna sound a 12 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.159 little noozy to some of you who stay've completely plugged in, but I haven't 13 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.959 had a chance to chew on him yet. And I got some questions because 14 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.359 you know, a lot of this stuff, especially when you're talking about backlash 15 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.280 stuff like with Planet Fitness and whatnot, it it gets anecdotal real quick. 16 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.760 So you kind of have to you gotta look for smaller signs of things that 17 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.319 are going on their ways in which people are reacting. Uh, you saw 18 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.640 with the bud light, right, you know bud light. At first, 19 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.359 they were gonna be gonna I'm not gonna tell you everything, right, just 20 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.840 know that we love you, and here's a soldier in an ad and just 21 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.200 like old times. But you know, the reality quickly became pretty obvious. 22 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.040 And it became obvious to anyone who went to a grocery store and had eyeballs. 23 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.200 You get on that go down that aisle where the where the beer normally 24 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.640 be, and there's a whole lot of one and not a lot of another. 25 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.960 You go to a sporting event, go to a sporting event where a 26 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:23.560 lot of times each concession booth is one brand oh beer, right, and 27 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:29.159 so you really quickly see what the lines look like at that booth versus say 28 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:36.919 another booth, And yeah, are these things anecdotal? Are they hard numbers? 29 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.960 No? Not really, but you had up the totality of them, 30 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.919 and it's it's pretty hard to arrive at a different conclusion. Whatever the decision 31 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.800 that company made not a good decision. And this planet fitness one, it 32 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.960 seems like you know what, it seems like a test is like an act 33 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.319 to his test. I I just wait, wait when I see the details 34 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:14.439 of it. So Planet Fitness women's locker room person shaving their face in there, 35 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.439 I have a question because I don't. I don't work out a Planet 36 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.120 Fitness, I don't really regular gym. So, for all you Jim Jim 37 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:31.039 folk out there, is that common to shave at a gym? Just in 38 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.960 general? Man, man, woman or otherwise? I mean, just is 39 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.919 it is it common to shave at a gym? All right? So I'm 40 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:45.400 not the only I'm not the only one with this. Like I admittedly I 41 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.039 did utilize the gym when I played football in high school, and yes, 42 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.080 I was even shaving then. Very I don't remember anyone ever shaving in a 43 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.400 gym because it just seems impractical. I don't like shaving in a hotel room, 44 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.439 do you know what I mean? All right? So, Ross, 45 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.879 you're not a gym shaver. Ross is not a gym shaver. So I 46 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.719 don't like shaving in a hotel room. Even though you know, I traveled 47 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.719 like the last week, obviously I traveled. I had my I have my 48 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.839 razor, I have a you know, uh, I have an actual, 49 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:23.519 you know, bisrazor for going around my beard and trimming that, and and 50 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.959 then I have that I don't like doing any of that, even though arguably 51 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.680 the outlet in my bathroom at home is not real conducive to shaving. It's 52 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.879 in a weird spot whatever. Builder, But like so at a gym, 53 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.519 now you're even more crunch for time. I just don't understand that. So 54 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.560 then I see somebody shaving in there, and I see that that kicks off 55 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.439 all of this, and I have so many questions. So if you don't 56 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.800 know, if you don't know the I guess the rest of the story. 57 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.079 Well God bless you. You did better than me, because unfortunately I figured 58 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.319 this out. But but two, I'll fill you in. I'll go over 59 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.439 it and we'll talk about it coming out next here on the KCO Day Radio 60 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:14.879 program. Happy Monday, KCO Day Radio program. So things look log looks 61 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.279 a little weird this morning. Tell you if things sound a little off, 62 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.079 working hard behind the scenes. Ross is on a giant hamster wheel right now, 63 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.800 So just know that that's happening because it's I guess it's still better than 64 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.879 the alternative, unless you hate the show. Then this is like the worst 65 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:42.240 thing ever happening to you, and for that I am truly thankful. All 66 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:47.680 right, So yeah, just a couple things made me pull the old Ostrich 67 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:57.879 head out the sand. Last week. I really really thought I could by 68 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.920 literally escaping the hemisphere or put some distance between, you know, the the 69 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.079 news of the day and the debate that was going on. And I quickly 70 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:19.120 realized that TDS is worldwide people. I mean it is, and it's fascinating. 71 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:27.680 It is absolutely one hundred percent fascinating because obviously it plays out with its 72 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:34.560 own version of it. But it was fascinating to me to you know how 73 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.040 when you're you know how, when you're in a mall or you know, 74 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.720 some big, some big place, right you happened upon one of those signs 75 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.079 that says you are here. Well, I was there, except there was 76 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:54.480 not Argentina in twenty twenty four, you know, third week of March. 77 00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:03.160 There was also month, right, you know, months following the inauguration of 78 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:10.800 Donald Trump and in the form of the new president they have down there, 79 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.759 which I make it. I make it a rule, a general rule, 80 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.079 to not get into politics when I'm in somebody else's country, because I don't 81 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.360 really like foreigners sticking their nose in our stuff looking at you, sorouses. 82 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.160 So with that in mind, I don't ask for conversation. I don't volunteer 83 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.079 stuff like that. Unfortunately, if I tell people what I do for a 84 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.199 living, there is a higher likelihood that it's going to migrate. But I 85 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.399 didn't even have to do that. I didn't have to say the word roddio 86 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.319 once, which is very convenient if you want to pronounce it in Spanish. 87 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:59.040 It's just a drunken slur version of it. I didn't even have to get 88 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.439 into that. People are people actively have a lot of opinions. And you 89 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.240 see people who are very happy for the new president there, which not trying 90 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.319 to hide it. And then you see others, especially in the hipper quarters. 91 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:20.720 And admittedly one of the hotels I stayed at is kind of so it's 92 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.279 a little hipper brand, but it was price right, and it was largely 93 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:33.080 priced right due to the previous presidents there because holy crap, the inflation. 94 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.399 But people wanted to get into it and it was and it was bonkers in 95 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:50.000 the the outright rejection of of what was going on is in any way, 96 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:56.120 shape or form being representative of you know, people in the periphery of individuals 97 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.600 who were upset, like not even not even wanting to under stand. Okay, 98 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.840 well, why why did why did my countrymen and women go out and 99 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.080 vote for this individual? What? Well? Possibly, no, it's it's 100 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.159 doom and gloom. It's uh if I may, it's bloodshed, isn't I 101 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.159 kind of discussions with stuff. We're back at It took a week off. 102 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:28.080 There very important things to do. Ah, most of them accomplished. I 103 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.759 ate so much steak by even going back to Wyoming and we got a couple 104 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.399 there's a couple kind of interesting steakhouses in the Wyoming area, although it's less 105 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.720 steakhousing more just around the house kind of thing. But you know, even 106 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.320 going back there and being able to look by victims in the eyes as you 107 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.840 do, I don't think I ate that much steak as I just ate the 108 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:07.159 last week. It was mmm mm mmm mmm mmm. And I will I 109 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.240 will not be not thankful for that. I did find it interesting too, 110 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.240 because, like so for those who don't know, we just we just had 111 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.799 vacation. I've been kind of trying to cross different countries off the list, 112 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.320 and I thought Argentina would be fun this year, and it was. I 113 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.759 had a great time. I had a great time. There were things people 114 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.440 told me to worry about that never really became an issue. But a lot 115 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.759 of that's location based, and I'm a little sad I did not find a 116 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:41.840 quaint German uh Nazi village, because I know that those do exist. But 117 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.840 what was even more fascinating, I think than than just that is the amount 118 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.759 of like German and Italian people down there. But it makes sense when you 119 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.679 realize that there was a lot of people and where the Germans and Italians were 120 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.159 around World War two, and that's not the extent of the immigration down there, 121 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.600 but it's it's very significant. What what what what really stood out to 122 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.480 me is Argentina thinks and this isn't a knock on them, Like Argentina has 123 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.840 this vibe that they think they're European, if that makes any sense, And 124 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:33.799 to some extent they kind of are, but obviously not. I mean, 125 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.000 obviously they're the you know, their core functional Latin America. They just you 126 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.679 know, it's it's it's just really interesting. It's it's interesting where the mindset 127 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:50.840 is and then to watch those mindsets kind of plugged in with the same intellectual 128 00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:00.480 dishonesty and intellectual turmoil that followed the twenty sixteen election. Was was kind of 129 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:05.759 fascinating, right, because you're seeing all the same stuff you're seeing. Yeah, 130 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.080 you're seeing if you can if you can read the newspapers or you know, 131 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.120 just uh you can Google. You can google you into the Google Translate. 132 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.720 You could literally just hover it and then I guess the a I'll tell 133 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.000 you what it thinks it translates to. Like you, you see stories like 134 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.559 that about the new president. They're like, ah, here's something he's doing 135 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.240 and it's it's just the end of the world. And then when you read 136 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.639 what he's doing, you're like, oh, that sounds that doesn't sound like 137 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:39.120 a bad idea. Maybe we should try that. So yeah, and then 138 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.720 and then but it's all taking place in like another language. It's just so 139 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.919 strange, man. But uh yeah, So go for the stake, go 140 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:56.200 for the tds, go for the weird cheek kissing a lot that makes you 141 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.919 If that weirds you out, you probably shouldn't get to know local people there 142 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.720 because saw that a lot more, a lot more than you expect. And 143 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.600 uh yeah, you know, thumbs up two of them and I didn't get 144 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.320 them chopped off by cartels or anything. So there you go, ask me 145 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.679 anything. All right, So, well that's all going on. I'm still 146 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.159 I'm trying to just keep like a slight eye on the ball with what's going 147 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.759 on back in the US. And I'm watching this Planet Fitness thing go, 148 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.639 and well it's got a lot, it's got a little bud light vibes there, 149 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:37.320 but the whole thing was weird from the jump, like because one who's 150 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.000 doing a full shave session in in a in a Planet Fitness or in any 151 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.159 gym for that matter. I mean, I'm sure some people do, and 152 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.919 I've you know, I've seen people shaving at golf clubs and whatnot. And 153 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.879 fine, I guess I understand that, but it really drives the point home 154 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.159 if you're in a woman's locker room and you have somebody who's got five o'clock 155 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.360 shadow they're trying to handle. And so Planet Fitness in response to the woman 156 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.759 who complained because the woman took a photo of the individual shaving. Now, 157 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.679 the individual is not naked in the photo. However, it was a photo 158 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.399 that was taken inside of a locker room, and I also of the agreement 159 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.840 that people shouldn't be snapping photos in locker rooms up until this point normally, 160 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.279 but you've been dealing with as douchebags who want you to follow their fitness journey 161 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.320 on their Instagram and don't care that somebody else is in there, and you 162 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.080 get these amazing videos where they're like screaming at some elderly gentlemen who has a 163 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.440 problem with them filming and or making fun of them. This went in a 164 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.559 different direction, and I understood, Look, I understand why you don't when 165 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.159 people taking pictures in locker rooms that being said, to simply sit there and 166 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.039 go, well, this is Look, this is about this singular issue and 167 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:07.480 not what people are experiencing and how they feel about this and maybe have an 168 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.600 adverse reaction to what is a genetic male in a locker room. And Planet 169 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:18.399 Fitnesses had incidents. They had an incident down in Georgia where it was claimed 170 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:26.600 that an individual was flashing young girls in this now in the locker room, 171 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:33.000 and they pretended to act like there's no nuance to any of this, and 172 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.720 there obviously is right. If I go into a life, I go into 173 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.000 the boys locker room, man's locker room and I'm standing by my locker and 174 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.960 I'm doing that quick, you know, quick thing where it's off with the 175 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.279 jim shorts, towel around, go to the shower, come back, throw 176 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.919 us some underwear on, some shorts, boom your dressed And yes, you 177 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.120 know, in those in those few motions, in those few moments, is 178 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:06.240 there going to be the possibility of nudity. Absolutely, But it's far different 179 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.960 than what we've seen in incidents where somebody goes in and is intentionally trying to 180 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:17.200 show parts of their nude body, especially to miners. Right, And we're 181 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:23.080 able to distinctly pick up on what somebody may be doing in a locker room 182 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.440 setting that now falls outside of the basic understanding of how that's supposed to work. 183 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.559 And people have been arrested and prosecuted over then, and yeah, I 184 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.000 can get a little sticky, what you know, because there's some people that 185 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:44.840 are they embrace, they embrace the naked time in the locker room to an 186 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.879 uncomfortable extent, but not necessarily a malicious intent, Right. They're just somebody 187 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.679 who instead of walking with the towel around their waist to the shower, will 188 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.159 sling it over their shoulder and you're like, all right, that's you, 189 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:02.360 that's you. You have to look at different actions, different things that were 190 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.119 going on. And when Planet Fitness chose to ignore the concerns of what was 191 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.200 going on in the Georgia locker room, eventually law enforcement said, no, 192 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.599 this is something this is something else right here. This is clearly somebody wanting 193 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.240 to in the in the opinion of those who did the arresting and the charging 194 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.759 and then those who did the adjudicating, this was somebody who was making it 195 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.319 a point because they there was some sort of happiness or pleasure that they were 196 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.359 alleged to have gotten by making sure that these child they're these children were the 197 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.839 ones who saw full view of the nudity by this individual, and they gritted 198 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.880 their teeth and fought that at the time, and frankly I saw people were 199 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.440 like, oh, I give them the bud light experience when that was going 200 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:59.200 on and it never really materialized. Well here, what do they do? 201 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.039 They punished the world. I'm who took the photo, which again you can 202 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.400 make the argument that you don't want anyone taking photos for any reason, but 203 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.680 also told anyone who's like, well, why is there somebody in there full 204 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.880 five o'clock shadow shaving in the in the women's locker room. The hell's going 205 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.240 on? And then people ask questions, they're like, shut up, bigot, 206 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.680 And that was it. That that was what it took for a bunch 207 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.440 of women to get organized enough on the internet and say, uh no, 208 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.000 we're gonna be h we're gonna be canceling memberships. And they ask they estimate 209 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:40.759 that just in the first weekend that Planet Fitness lost four hundred million and that's 210 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.480 just based on stock valuation. Uh. And then you know, and then 211 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.559 you have to have the the people out there, uh who are who are 212 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.720 having to report on it but trying to do it, and they're like, 213 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:59.119 well, look over here, here's a different a fitness related stock and it 214 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.359 too is down from this week. So I don't know. And it's like, 215 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.200 well, one it was trending down. Two, it's not even the 216 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.839 same thing. And three it's clearly even if they're both down, one is 217 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.480 clearly far more down than the other. So you know, it's the same 218 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:25.319 disingenuous analysis or reporting on this story. And as best I can tell, 219 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:32.079 they're sticking with their policy. So if you got a five o'clock shadow and 220 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:37.960 a razor and some time on your hands, and you identify as a trans 221 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.720 woman, then as far as I can tell, Planet Fitness are like cool. 222 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.400 You want to stand there naked at the sink, shave and do your 223 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:52.920 thing. And the response that, well, you know, anyone, any 224 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.599 woman who would would cancel a membership over this, they just don't get it. 225 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.799 You can hold that opinion until the end of the day. And at 226 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.599 the end of the day, if you have four hundred million less memberships or 227 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:11.160 dollars worth of memberships, it doesn't matter what your interpretation is. You're sticking 228 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.279 with what you say is your your business's official position. Then quit pitching about 229 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:22.599 it, because now people are reacting. And frankly, if you think anyone 230 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.920 who would who would even consider stopping their membership because of this is you know, 231 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.359 basically a bigot, Then why would you want bigots at your gym? 232 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.640 Why would you why would you want why would you want these people who you 233 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.640 who you feel are so full of hate anywhere near any of your facilities. 234 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.640 This is they're they're doing. This is a good thing they're doing for you. 235 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.599 Uh A Planet Fitness saw four hundred million wiped off their value. Since 236 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:02.880 the story broke, that numbers probably quite a bit more. I haven't even 237 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:08.680 updated it since I was just reading it yesterday putting this together. So they 238 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:12.359 did not go, well, anybody go in and cancel? What was that? 239 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.559 And again, this is not me organizing Boycott's, this is me analyzing 240 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.319 them. You would do whatever they want. Some would say there was a 241 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.200 there was a bloodbath over there, but you know, be careful where you 242 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.160 say that, even if it's directly adjacent to cars, they'll cut that part 243 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.119 off. Yes, that was the other thing I tried to ignore, which 244 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:44.039 unfortunately I was not able to that stupidity, that dumb assery, that thing 245 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:49.119 that even from the other side of the planet, I was quickly able to 246 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:55.759 ascertain was much ado about nothing by simply watching a couple different versions, so 247 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.200 that I made sure to not limit myself to videos that were trimmed, which 248 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:07.960 shockingly were most of them, and then running around and you know, posting 249 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.920 funny video mashups on the Twitter just because I was bored. I did participate 250 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:17.880 a little, so we'll have to touch on that as well. Lots to 251 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.960 get to six forty eight hang on a KCO day radio program, that is 252 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:29.000 a video of a man eating a person's leg. That's what that is. 253 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:36.400 That's not what I needed to see this morning. Now, for those of 254 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:44.880 you wondering how he procured the leg, that's fair because somehow it does make 255 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.640 this not as bad, if that's possible, considering what I've already told you 256 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:56.119 about the story. It happened in California. Yep, not Florida. I 257 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:02.559 know, I know, I know you were thinking it. No, it 258 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.000 happened in Wassco, California, which is a very fun town named to say. 259 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:14.359 What started as a typical Friday for a group of construction workers quickly turned 260 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:22.319 into a bizarre scene. This from KBAKTV. The crew was laying down concrete 261 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:29.079 outside of Amtrak station in Wassco. Well, I saw a quote horrifying site. 262 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:37.319 I guess unless they're into that. Here's a quote. Not sure where 263 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.799 from where he but he walked this way and he was waving a person's leg 264 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.319 and then started chewing on it over there against the wall and everything, said 265 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:53.359 Jose Ibara, a worker who saw the incident. Hopefully he didn't see it 266 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.519 right before lunch break, because then you're not gonna want it, and then 267 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.000 your boss is gonna explain to situation, and I, you know, I 268 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.559 don't wish that upon this guy sounds like he's out there working hard. The 269 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.519 leg apparently came from a person who was hit by a train near the station 270 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:22.359 earlier that morning. So again, leg procurement happenstance, I guess, or 271 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:29.640 or you know, maybe maybe that's not fair. Maybe this maybe this individual 272 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.359 had wanted to eat a leg for a very very very long time, but 273 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:41.200 realized that all possibilities rested right on that edge of illegal. So he needed 274 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.920 a scenario where his dream could come to fruition. And at that point, 275 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.839 if you if you're looking for human body parts, he didn't need to find 276 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:57.440 a populated area that interacts with a railway of some sorts. And then maybe 277 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.480 eventually if you just you know, you sit there long enough, it's like 278 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:07.200 eat. It's like stand hunting. Sometimes you just you're out there staring at 279 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.039 nothing for a week, even though that trail cam, holy crap, look 280 00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:15.880 at everything that's on there. What's going on? You just gotta you gotta, 281 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.119 you gotta put in the time, you gotta put in the effort. 282 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:25.400 And maybe that's what was going on here. But then also there's the question 283 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.119 like, okay, well, how now did this come to fruition? Like 284 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.799 how did that person end up in front of the train which then provided sustenance 285 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.640 for your weird little fetish here, Like you gotta look into that extra hard 286 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:47.680 to make sure it was everything was on the up and up. This is 287 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.920 this is constantly the the argument that people have when they make it legal to 288 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.799 eat roadkill. Right, some redneck gonna be out there shoving deer in front 289 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.319 of stuff. Should you be able to procure horns, even though they might 290 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.680 be a motivation for somebody to stage a roadkill? These are all these are 291 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.759 all debate points, These are all different nuances and tweaks of the laws. 292 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.519 And just so we're clear, it is not legal. Should all right, 293 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.440 you got let's say you're let's say you're standing at the bus stop right now. 294 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.200 It's you and Bob from down the street. You don't really you don't 295 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:30.000 really like Bob. Bob's kind of a you know what hole, But you 296 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.960 don't you know, you don't want them dead? What is wrong with you? 297 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:40.519 People out there? In response to a video of a man eating another 298 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:48.880 person and and doing so like they just like they stumbled upon a taco pop 299 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.519 up truck or something, you know, like a food truck, like, 300 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.279 oh, I didn't know there was tacos over this gas station and then just 301 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.119 mowing down. They're all excited, right, And your respond to that is 302 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:07.079 to run around the internet and scold people with the story like, well, 303 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.920 uh, you know what it's not is it's not a migrants, okay? 304 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.279 Is I don't even know? I don't because at that point I don't care. 305 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:25.319 I'm just like, there's physically a person eating another person. Why are 306 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.519 we having to run around and have got you things? You're like, oh, 307 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.240 that's right, biggots, that you thought it was a hard working You 308 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:37.039 thought it was a migrant here because our migrants wouldn't eat people, and they 309 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.880 were here to eat the people that our people would need. Like what kind 310 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.319 of dumb exercise is this? Can we just recognize that obviously we've jumped the 311 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:52.240 mental health shark, right, that's not normal eating people, whether you're doing 312 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:57.240 it secretively or in this weird like ecstatic way that he seems to be chowing 313 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.920 down on Bob or whatever the guy's you know, whatever the victim's name was. 314 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.680 We don't have to we don't have to score points on a on a 315 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:12.799 whole other issue. And yeah, if it was somebody who came here to 316 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:19.640 eat people and was in the country illegally, I don't know that. I 317 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.480 don't know the people bringing that up to point out that that would be a 318 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.720 less you know, that might cut down on the eating people quota for the 319 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.480 day, would be an accurate I don't know how that would be inaccurate, 320 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.440 because it's just this weird game we play where it's like, you know, 321 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:42.279 we're after what happened in Georgia happened, and you had people that are out 322 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.599 there they're like, yo, hey, if you read the news, there's 323 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.240 here somebody was born in America who was accused of burdering a woman about that 324 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.559 age. All right, well, that doesn't make the other thing okay. 325 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.920 And all you're proving there is that through strict strict controls of immigration, we 326 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:11.359 only stopped some of the women being murdered brutally allegedly. And now you've got 327 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.920 to argue that that's not a good thing. That's still a good thing. 328 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:21.400 If I knew that five people were going to be eaten today by just random 329 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:26.759 psychopaths, and two of us said psychopaths were only able to gain access to 330 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.039 the body part they're mouing down on because they were put into this this you 331 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:41.519 know, this forever loop of asylum claims. Then I can still recognize that 332 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.960 two people probably wouldn't have been eaten that day. And the more heinous the 333 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.279 thing is that you're trying to make excuses for the higher the likelihood is that 334 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:56.359 it wouldn't have happened organically on its own without that individual involved, and that 335 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.240 individual didn't have to be here. That was based on decisions being made by 336 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:10.319 lawmakers in pandery bureaucrats. So yeah, sorry if I'm not going to jump 337 00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:15.079 on board with your stupidity there, But that's a dude eating another dude. 338 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.880 We need to figure out what's up with that. We need to figure out 339 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.599 why. We need to figure out. You know, also in California, 340 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.759 what is the process even for dealing with you pat him on the back for 341 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:33.640 not spilling. I mean, how do you begin to approach somebody chewing down 342 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:41.640 on another person? Don't know? Remember, you know what do people think 343 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.480 of too? By the way, when you see this story, they think 344 00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.880 of the Basalts thing in in Florida, and I want to remind you that 345 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:55.079 while there is a there is some spance of it that they're unable to test 346 00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:59.359 for, it's not clear that that's what was up. Remember, they didn't 347 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.480 find bass alts in that dude's system. Who ate the other dude's face, 348 00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:11.559 So you know, you gotta you gotta look a little a little past the 349 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.519 surface, a little past whatever the initial narrative is, and try to figure 350 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.960 it out. But arguing over immigration status, have said face eater is just 351 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.799 dumb, Like, who's even bringing that up? Bring it up when it 352 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:29.559 becomes a narrative or a part of the story. Bring it up when like, 353 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.039 okay, well, what was the relationship with the victim? And then 354 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:36.079 you find out maybe there were somebody was working on their asylum claim, or 355 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:40.839 somebody who had also migrated or whatever it may be. But I none of 356 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.519 that looks present here, And you're trying to sit there and and inject it 357 00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.680 into this. And I'm just of the opinion that we don't need random people 358 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.759 running around eating random people's body parts when they find them. That's not a 359 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:57.359 very helpful Samaritan. Right, you're in an accident, somebody stumbles upon you, 360 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.519 and you're like oh my thank god you're here. I'm just I'm laying 361 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.599 here and I need help, and they're just like, You're like, yeah, 362 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.319 I got my my arm got severed because this thing happened. Can you 363 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.480 call nine one one? And they're like, ah, yeah, in a 364 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.799 minute, and you're like, what are you doing with my arm? What's 365 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:23.799 happening? So, you know, we don't want those scenarios. So I'm 366 00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:27.319 you know, get to the bottom of it, figure out what's going on. 367 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.759 And if that dude is somebody who needs to talk to somebody or it 368 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.279 kind of appears that they may be great. If it's somebody who just got 369 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:39.119 confused on a recipe, then make it make sense to me. Whatever. 370 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:46.000 But arguing over immigration status is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard, all 371 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:55.519 right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So I 372 00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.440 saw a lot of really disingenuous arguments over this. So to day is the 373 00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:08.240 Donald Trump bond fraud day. Right, So today's the day where he was 374 00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:15.599 supposed to have secured four hundred and fifty four million through the process of appealing 375 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.960 in this this case where they decided that even though the person who's supposedly the 376 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:31.000 victim was not defrauded out of any money, in fact, sought out and 377 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:37.960 acquired to do the piece of business that they're being sued over. Well, 378 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:42.599 that's four hundred and fifty four million dollar judgment and it needs to be secured 379 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.279 in some way, shape or form, which is easier said than done. 380 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:52.359 And then I see a bunch of really disingenuous people doing the analysis on why, 381 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.720 and I you know, I'm gonna use this platform because we have this 382 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:01.279 platform just to say the super obvious thing that is being ignored. And I'm 383 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:07.480 sure people realize is being ignored because it makes them feel good because they feel 384 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.199 like they've got their political opponent. So we'll cut you in on the details. 385 00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.679 They're coming up. Seven sixteen, CaCO Day Radio program. CaCO Day 386 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:22.320 Radio program. So today is the day the former president said to appear in 387 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:29.920 Manhattan on a hearing for the hush money case. On the same day he 388 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.840 faces a four hundred and fifty four million dollar fraud bond deadline, so has 389 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:42.679 to post it as part of the appeal. And it it made me lose 390 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:51.000 my damn mind watching the same piece of garbage analysis just be lazily suggested here 391 00:34:52.199 --> 00:35:00.440 without even attempting to ascertain what may be motivating individuals, and in this case, 392 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:06.159 the individuals or businesses where in the past Trump may have done business with 393 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:12.320 them, may have, you know, under different circumstances, been standing in 394 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:17.920 line to essentially issue this bond, not just because there's a profitability standpoint, 395 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:23.119 right, that's one part of it. You know, people do bail bonds 396 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.400 not out of the goodness of their heart, right, They're in it to 397 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:30.000 make money, and so this is you know, this is obviously a different 398 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:37.440 version of it, but still you stand to prosper here. And yet it 399 00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:45.480 became abundantly clear that company after company didn't want to issue this bond. And 400 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.360 the question is why why did they not want to issue it? And what 401 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:54.679 I saw from the you know, for the moon bad analysts like h this 402 00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:00.360 is this is all of these folks who he's been fool all these years, 403 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:05.320 and now the chickens are coming home to roost and they're figuring out what's going 404 00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:07.800 on, and they don't want to do business with this guy. And you're 405 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:14.800 kind of right in the sense that companies don't want to align themselves with Donald 406 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:19.360 Trump anymore. But it's not for the reason that you think, and the 407 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.599 reason that you think when what I've watched the analysis is, Hey, look 408 00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:28.840 at these folks that are watching what just happened with this poor bank he defrauded 409 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:35.000 and't realizing they don't want to do business with them. And that's not the 410 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:40.559 vibe anybody else is getting. The bank who was the quote unquote victim here. 411 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:47.440 Remember that bank went out of their way to do this piece of business 412 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:53.679 with Trump. They went out of their way to do it because they had 413 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.440 done it in the past, and when they did do this particular kind of 414 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:05.440 business, they stood to make a lot of money. And sure enough, 415 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:12.239 that's what happened here as well. They took the risk in part because they 416 00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:17.480 knew that the possibility, based on the previous track record, was that even 417 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:22.719 if we don't see eye to eye on valuation of something, the fact remains 418 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.480 that he's been good for it in the past, and he's built up enough 419 00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:29.920 credit that we're gonna go ahead and do this. I remember it is that 420 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:35.039 evaluation process that is at the forefront of what is supposedly the beef here of 421 00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:38.960 our equipment's on fire, which is not unusual, although today was a special 422 00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:45.039 kind of hell. So poor Ross has been just ingrained in that randos are 423 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:50.679 shaving inside planet fitnesses, which throw out all the transgender stuff. Who shaves 424 00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:55.400 in a planet fitness? Who does that? Who shaves at the gym? 425 00:37:55.599 --> 00:38:04.000 Anyway? Isn't that weird? That seems weird if you play golf at a 426 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.760 club, or if at a private or semi private club, like you know, 427 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:12.400 they have shaving equipment and stuff for people, but it's still weird if 428 00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:16.679 you see somebody shaving there. So I don't know that. There's a whole 429 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:22.480 lot of things where you try to go mental disconnect on these stories to the 430 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:27.760 extent that you can, and when I'm traveling, that's what I want to 431 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.679 be able to do. Yet you can't get away from it because it just 432 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:35.760 it just permeates your inbox. When you glance back at your email, no 433 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:43.559 matter what setting you have on it, people got takes. And then people 434 00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.159 will write you email or they say something and it's really you know, it's 435 00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:52.960 very uh say controversial, but it's it's very hard opinionated, and it's like 436 00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:57.159 I don't even I don't know how to valuate what they're telling me because admittedly 437 00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.039 I'm not as up on the story as they are, and then like that 438 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.239 weird work ethic thing in the back of your head goes, hey, dummy, 439 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:08.199 maybe you should read up on this so that I find myself going into 440 00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:16.239 blood bath and going into the planet fitness, stupidity, going into the guy 441 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:24.119 eating the leg even going into and God help me, the royals? What 442 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:31.480 is why? Why? For those of you out there who are the very 443 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.480 first when I whenever we will like will tweet a story, even if it's 444 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:38.320 a funny, stupid story, They're like, I don't care. We have 445 00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:45.119 a carriage seventeen seventy six f them, right? Are you also the ones 446 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:50.559 running around trying to figure out whether somebody would Kate Middleton's dress is the same 447 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:55.599 as seven years ago because AI deep fakes, because conspiracy, Like, if 448 00:39:55.639 --> 00:40:00.440 you don't care about the royals, why do you care if the what what 449 00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:05.480 even triggered this? It was the stupid AP photo? Right? What do 450 00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:09.000 you care if somebody photoshopped somebody's hands in an AP photo? If you don't 451 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.800 care about the royals, this is this is what I want to know. 452 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:25.880 Why do you care if you think that video of Kate Middleton or whatever shopping 453 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.719 at at a store, even just a few seconds of it is part of 454 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:38.280 a larger cultural a boondoggle through the utilization of AI. If you if you 455 00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:45.440 think that, then ask yourself why why would they do that? And if 456 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.840 they and even if they did do it, why would it make any difference? 457 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.320 If they don't run your life, They're they're simply there to be I 458 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:59.079 guess, viewed from a distance and admired within the hearts of British people or 459 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:04.000 whatever the garbage that I've heard, and please don't throw another beer in my 460 00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:09.800 faced British people. I don't care. We cared once and then we're like, 461 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:13.280 nah, We're done with this crap. Then we didn't care again, 462 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:20.840 so I don't. But now I feel like I feel like there's a lot 463 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:23.280 of people who say they don't care about stuff, who put in the most 464 00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:30.440 effort of attempting to not care about that thing of anything that they usually do 465 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:36.079 care about. Right, they will put in the time to show you how 466 00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:40.039 little they care about the royals, And if that includes reading every story and 467 00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.840 having some I don't care comment under it, you can bet they're gonna be 468 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:52.320 there. So is the Duck, the Duke of Duchess of York or whatever. 469 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.719 I don't even know what her title is. Whatever is she a clone? 470 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.440 I don't care? And I would ask you what difference does it make? 471 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.079 What difference person sending me? Look at this ring on her finger and 472 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.639 how it's slightly over here a year ago and this is from that? What? 473 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:16.000 So what? Let's say that she is a space cyborg. Okay, 474 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:22.519 I'm gonna I'll go full sci Fi on this thing. Let's say that she 475 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:30.760 is she's the Borg. Okay, dah, this is just she's got. 476 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.719 This is her get up, This is her disguise one once you in on 477 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.559 it. So instead of dream, you know, dressing like that creepy bald 478 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:44.159 lady boom Kate Middleton, but actually borg if they don't have any real power, 479 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:51.199 what does it matter? If she's the Borg? Why do you why? 480 00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:53.679 Why would you? Why would you engage in this? Why would you 481 00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:58.400 care? Why would you be sending me deep fake stuff that I'm not gonna 482 00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.400 read? And I'm gonna be annoyed that you sent me because I got enough 483 00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:09.000 crap to dig out from after a week and a half. So no, 484 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:14.920 do I care that she's You haven't even explained to me why there would be 485 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:20.440 any benefit for them swapping her out for a more robotic model or whatever the 486 00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:29.000 theory is, What does she even do? She runs around and looks less 487 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:34.159 bitchy than her sister in law, and once a year they wear a bunch 488 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:42.199 of ridiculous hats because it's tradition. At the thing with the people with the 489 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:49.599 hats, the learned the word ascot. That's it. That's what I know. 490 00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:59.079 That's right, I am. That's very good points or somebody just wrote 491 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:02.039 said I am a TikTok winter winter. Absolutely, that's how I feel this 492 00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:07.519 morning. And I also feel like I don't understand why dudes eating another person's 493 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:12.280 leg and we're arguing over migrant status or why I have to figure out whether 494 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.400 Kate Middleton is a cyborg or not. How's your Monday going? That's not 495 00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:20.159 how I thought my Monday was going. I thought I was gonna tell you 496 00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:25.119 about steaks and stuff. Do you know how I have a steakhouse called Gordoninho 497 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.679 a fat baby, fat little boy, fat little boy mmm mmmm mmmm. 498 00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:31.800 If you ever get a chance to eat there, you should eat there. 499 00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.639 You'll have to go to Buenos Aire's Argentina, but I highly recommend it. 500 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:39.960 Do you know. They also have a tea that I don't know why they 501 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.760 still do this that comes in this big thing and then people just sit around 502 00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.599 with a big straw and like drink it with each other, which I did 503 00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.079 not do, not because I'm one of those weird COVID people. But I 504 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.280 wanted to tell you about that because I found that I found that oddity of 505 00:44:54.480 --> 00:45:04.360 society rather fascinating. That was kind of cool. I've never seen so much 506 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.639 fakedike stuff in all my life. Hey, this like the swoosh isn't even 507 00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:13.599 right on some of this stuff, but it's three dollars, so what are 508 00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:17.239 you gonna do? These are what I find fascinating. I did you get 509 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:22.440 to find my Nazi village? But I found out that there's like three million 510 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.039 Italian people living in Argentina. Did you know that? I didn't know that. 511 00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.400 Consequently, you got good food and then you remember, oh yeah, 512 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:36.000 Italy was on that side and all that stuff. But it creates this very 513 00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.000 interesting dynamic. And these are the things that fascinate me. And instead I'm 514 00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:45.800 having to evaluate whether Kate Middleton's a robot or not. So I don't know, 515 00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:51.960 And much to the surprise of who is it rased agent today from the 516 00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:59.559 weather channel? Do spin backwards when you had so so not the toilet stuff, 517 00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:05.519 but gesture goes in the other direction. So yeah, things go I 518 00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:09.199 knew that low so low pressure goes the other way, high pressure goes the 519 00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:14.440 other way, Coriolis force goes the other way. Yeah, so sounds like 520 00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:16.920 a good trip though I was listening in YEA. Yeah, dude, this 521 00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:21.119 stay good for you. Let me just tell you. I mean, yeah, 522 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:25.079 there were two days where I'm just like, I don't move now I 523 00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.559 move. I just I'm a job of the hut. That's what you just 524 00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.039 feel like after right doing that to yourself, and then the next then you 525 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.519 do it again the next day. So yeah, it's it's a pattern, 526 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.320 and it takes you what it will take you a week or two to get 527 00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.840 out of it. I try to get I told Ross like, I feel 528 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.440 so awake and alert and great this morning, and that I could also sleep 529 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:52.239 for nine days, so I don't know this weird drill. Hey, and 530 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.840 I only went upstate New York for a week, so you know, and 531 00:46:55.960 --> 00:47:00.599 I felt beat up. And people don't realize how long it's like, how 532 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:07.440 far down. But it's like flying Transcontin's not flying LA. Man. It's 533 00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:13.159 okay. Yeah, speaking of LA, I bet you didn't have the Clemson 534 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.039 Tigers in the sweet sixteen headed to LA by the way, you know what, 535 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:21.360 I thought. I was also going to have a hard time following that, 536 00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:23.159 dude, I'm telling you, man, they are put You know, 537 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:28.599 soccer is obviously the big thing down there for this messy guy. They're very 538 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.639 po yeah, a little bit right, but people are all up on the 539 00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:37.360 basketball. So yeah, well it was fun to watch. So yeah, 540 00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:38.639 it's bad, believe it or not. Even last night, I stayed up 541 00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:42.440 for the A and M in Houston game. I mean they A and M 542 00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.960 made some comeback. Man. I was watching NC State in the ACC Tournament. 543 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:49.719 Yeah, I mean just crazy. So I actually have n C State 544 00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:52.239 Originally, of course, I took Clemson all the way, but I took 545 00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.079 them out. So I do have NC State, North Carolina, Iowa State, 546 00:47:55.320 --> 00:48:00.280 and oh Tennessee as my final four than Tennessee Wining. So I'm doing 547 00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:05.880 well actually cool. But anyway, yeah, let me do what I'm supposed 548 00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.480 to do here. There really not much going on but Darfree's warnings and frost 549 00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:13.480 advisories around this morning and looks pretty good as we go through the day. 550 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:16.360 Some clouds and low sixties, a little below average but not bad. In 551 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:21.199 the thirties again tonight, but probably the mid upper thirties except instead of the 552 00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.840 low thirties. Still could be some patche frost early tomorrow, a little mid 553 00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:27.760 sixties in the afternoon. Midweek looks a little damp, with some rain and 554 00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:32.760 showers around. Showers Wednesday, some occasional rain Thursday, and then sun show. 555 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:36.119 It'll be back Friday. The weekend looks great actually for Easter. I'll 556 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.840 throw that in and start talking about that now. Mid upper seventies with sunshine, 557 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:50.360 the steaks again, I mean by oh anyway, all right, sorry 558 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:52.960 dude this morning, but yeah, so problem all right, cool, cool, 559 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:58.320 thank you there. You gonna race agic from the leather channel. Uh 560 00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:06.159 seven forty seven hang On d has launched a new National Resource Center. Oh 561 00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:15.800 okay, national resource center, so something from which you're able to draw resources 562 00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:22.320 on a national level. And obviously it's going to have to be something that 563 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:29.639 the federal government is obviously tasked with doing, but maybe has been falling down 564 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.480 on the job, right, and so they needed to make it more readily 565 00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:37.239 available to the populace. Right. So as you know a lot of times 566 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:43.519 see National Resource Center. It's like tax advice or it's you know, things 567 00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:46.760 having to do with COVID. You saw various resource centers out there. So 568 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:52.440 it's not a new government undertaking. However, it is a really fun way 569 00:49:52.559 --> 00:50:00.320 to basically bypass Congress in how the moneys are spent for what is accomplis and 570 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:05.320 it just kind of stacks on and adds to all this executive order stuff and 571 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:10.960 various other projects like canceling student loan debt, you know, all things that 572 00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:16.400 used to take place in Congress that now just presidents think they can go ahead 573 00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:19.960 and do so. Yeah. I keep a watchful eye on this stuff, 574 00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:25.480 especially when I find out the Resource center is Second Amendment related. Oh that's 575 00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:31.000 interesting. So what resources are around the Second Amendment? Are you making available 576 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:40.000 helping folks to understand maybe the best home defense situation for them based on training 577 00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:45.800 and money available and all of that. Okay, all right, I still 578 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:51.280 don't think that's the job of government, even if I feel that it's positive 579 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.159 what they're doing, I still think that's their job. But never fear this 580 00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:05.480 is not that. Instead, the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. 581 00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:10.559 We're here from the government, and we're here to help, is how you 582 00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:19.599 should read that. Surprised even many congressional Republicans when its mere existence was announced 583 00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:24.800 Friday, Attorney General Mary Garland said, excuse me, Saturday, it was 584 00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:30.559 now Saturday. Mary Garland said in a Saturday press release that the new National 585 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:38.519 Resource Center will provide quote, our partners across the country with valuable resources to 586 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:44.360 keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves or 587 00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:52.239 others. So read this as a red flag policy center, I guess. 588 00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:58.480 Now. Let's also point out that, as we have seen over the last 589 00:51:58.599 --> 00:52:08.159 few stories of high profile active shooters, there have been multiple examples of where 590 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:15.960 contact with government officials or governmental entities, law enforcement, in some cases investigators, 591 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:21.679 things like that we're very much present or should have been present, and 592 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:27.960 just for whatever reason, never really panned out. Nobody ever really did anything, 593 00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.320 nobody ever took it seriously. And even when you find out that there 594 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:37.719 were glaring things that were witnessed by some individuals in the backgrounds of the very 595 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:45.960 same folks we've evaluated for committing some very heinous crimes, we're all told that 596 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:47.760 you know, frankly, they well they didn't have the teeth to deal with 597 00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:51.639 it, or they weren't in a position, or it wasn't their job, 598 00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.079 or you know, they tried to err on the side of humanity as one 599 00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:59.639 that I saw. And it's fine, right, because now you're trying to 600 00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:04.119 make that argument that the government shouldn't just decide. Well, look, we 601 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.119 found out we we did some research, and we found out that of the 602 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:13.639 people who are shooting up schools, they are exclusively human. Right, We're 603 00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:17.000 not a lot of chimpanzees this week doing that, not a lot of frogs, 604 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:23.639 but yeah, humans humans. So therefore, because that then all humans 605 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:30.239 should and then you know, insert some totalitarian way of dealing with it. 606 00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:35.639 Right, we're not talking about that old canard, right, that old argument 607 00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.920 we've had where it's like, why are you punishing the people who actually follow 608 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:43.119 the law when they're the only ones who are going to follow Now you're punishing 609 00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:46.880 law. Doesn't make any sense, Like you're missing the boat here, We're 610 00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:51.159 gonna out some kinks, not a few things, but yeah, no, 611 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:57.639 we're here. Vacation is done at least for now. Trying to think what 612 00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.920 is even the next day off. We I guess I mean Memorial Day maybe, 613 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.280 yeah, we get in, then we get into the summer doldrums and 614 00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.920 it's an election year, and uh, we're gonna We're gonna be buckled in. 615 00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:14.199 So uh, thanks for hanging out with us. A few different things 616 00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:22.280 obviously developing while I was gone one the Planet Fitness insanity. Remember, I'm 617 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:27.360 trying to evaluate all this stuff without really evaluating it because I'm trying to hold 618 00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:35.760 to my mental promise to myself that I just I would actually unplug. And 619 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.079 it was really hard with the Planet Fitness stuff and the blood bath stuff, 620 00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:44.880 because you just couldn't get away from it, and even even literally in a 621 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:49.360 different hemisphere. I mean, I'm having it blasted in my face. So 622 00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:52.320 to some extent, I sit there and I embrace it, and I watch 623 00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:58.360 a movie. You ever, you ever turn on a movie and you're like, 624 00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:01.000 I think I've seen this before, but you you can't, for the 625 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:07.119 life of you distinctly remember that you've seen it, but it just feels too 626 00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:09.320 familiar. You're watching the plot, you kind of know what's going to be 627 00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:15.320 happening, so you determined you've seen it. That's really how I felt from 628 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:22.000 a politics perspective in evaluating the way that the population is dealing with their new 629 00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:25.400 president down there. And then I had it, you know, kind of 630 00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:29.320 thrust in the face because a couple of people said, well, yeah, 631 00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.559 obviously you're the person I want to tell about this, because you know, 632 00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:36.760 you had to put up with Trump. How however did you survive? And 633 00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:42.119 you know, they didn't get the response that they wanted. Even though I 634 00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:45.880 try to try to stay away from a lot of this, but you realize 635 00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:51.280 that that's also in that narrative and that process by which the media acts shocked. 636 00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:55.639 They're just shocked that anyone would not want to keep doing the same thing 637 00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.079 over and over again, even in a country where every five years they have 638 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:07.199 to redo their currency. It's a slight exaggeration, but not much. And 639 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:10.800 then it gets really confusing when you start getting into some of the stuff that 640 00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:16.639 they some of the coinage down there because of them having to reissue currency, 641 00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:22.639 Like there's still stuff that's not the currency anymore that people still use. So 642 00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:29.079 strange, man, But it's that smugness and that idea that you know, 643 00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:34.639 trying something different in a time with a faltering economy where you had rapid inflation 644 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:44.719 that quickly was rendering once again the currency of this of this nation a place 645 00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:51.400 where the rest of Latin America goes in shops, which is which is which 646 00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:54.400 is kind of a cultural thing, which is like you literally there are people 647 00:56:54.480 --> 00:57:00.480 that are on planes to pop over to a different country to shop because they 648 00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:07.000 are taking advantage of the poor economy of their neighbor And it's a phenomena that 649 00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:12.559 I, you know, I didn't fully understand right as somebody didn't grow up 650 00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:15.199 there, but I do find quite fascinating. That's kind of what Argentina, 651 00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:22.360 like Costa Ricans going shop in in in Colombia, they have big market centers 652 00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.039 and they have planes full of people coming from Central America, where you're thinking, 653 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:30.079 well, why such because Colombia was far worse off when when I went 654 00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:36.000 there, when I did the Columbia Ecuador last year and Ecuador to some extent, 655 00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:37.800 and you saw that in the form of a soft coup going on there, 656 00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:45.199 and that's what that's what that's what it happened to Argentina. So the 657 00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:52.639 smugness of those who saw this precarious financial situation and then were overwhelmed that some 658 00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:58.960 bombastic person with very differing views could find himself somehow in charge of things is 659 00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:04.719 not something that they abide, and so you know, they run around with 660 00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:09.880 the scandal stories. I was very interested to see, you know, some 661 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:19.559 of the publications down there, and it all feels like a video that you've 662 00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:23.559 watched before, just with a different person, and all the same players are 663 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:30.400 there, right, all the disingenuous media people, the remember whens who misremember 664 00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:36.320 stuff but do it intentionally so that it becomes history, throwing out facts and 665 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.199 figures that even I know, not as somebody who's in any way, shape 666 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:44.599 or form ever associated with Argentina, but I know to be false because I 667 00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:47.920 have a general understanding of how economics work, and I have a general understanding 668 00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:53.719 of how economics work. When you create a separate valuation for your currency, 669 00:58:53.960 --> 00:59:00.000 albeit one that is Internet based and which creates this giant loophole that people use 670 00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:07.800 to rob probility of profitability within your country for Internet purchases, which is a 671 00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:12.760 very complex thing that if you spent about twenty minutes looking into today, your 672 00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:15.840 jaw would hit the floor. Would have what they were doing in Argentina with 673 00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:24.679 that basically honoring the black market currency valuation it's craziness. And all of the 674 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:30.239 people who were happy to go along with this are also the ones screaming and 675 00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:35.320 running around and sitting on some of the weird you think our weekend yelly shows 676 00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:39.119 are yelly like sitting on those shows talking about how everything was perfect and this 677 00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:46.239 individual is undermining everything that we've built. And you see regular, you know, 678 00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:51.559 regular Argentinian sitting there going, what do you mean everything that we built? 679 00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:54.559 I can't I have no buying power. This sucks, This sucks. 680 00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:58.000 Now you want to do this? No, we're not going to do this 681 00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:01.119 anymore. And then people being flabber gasted that the individuals would want to make 682 01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:09.639 that decision. How familiar does that sound? Meanwhile, you have modern media 683 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:15.079 here, who is running around in you know, sketchy barrios in Brazil so 684 01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:19.719 they could find old photos of a New York congressman wearing drag that one time. 685 01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:23.760 And the Washington Post, remember they had teams of people on it, 686 01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:27.920 and they're willing to deep dive that I went to go eat a bunch of 687 01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:32.920 steaks and stay at slightly overpriced but wildly under price based on the the inflation 688 01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:38.599 rate hotels and Engorge myself on stakes like a fat you know, that fat 689 01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:43.119 American tourist. And I'm able to pick up on this stuff just on the 690 01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:49.880 periphery, just paying attention, having a basic understanding of the Spanish language. 691 01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:52.119 So when I see a headline in a newspaper, I go, oh, 692 01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:54.480 that's interesting, and that I could translate the rest of it and go that 693 01:00:54.639 --> 01:01:00.199 sounds like a story we saw. It's just crazy. And I don't know 694 01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:05.480 how to communicate that more effectively than I am doing right now, because I 695 01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:09.079 feel like that's the takeaway message. And you're seeing it in Spain. You 696 01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:13.559 saw it with some of the weird rigging of elections that they did there. 697 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:20.079 You saw it in Portugal here just a couple weeks ago. You're seeing it 698 01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:23.559 in Canada. Get ready for that dude. He's probably gonna sitting there. 699 01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:28.199 I had a big, long conversation with a Canadian dude who just happened to 700 01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:31.360 be a person who was sitting there nearby, also gorging himself on steak, 701 01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:37.639 and he's talking about he doesn't even like the guy. He's the dude I 702 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:43.000 was talking to strikes me as a bit of a leftist moderate and they're sick 703 01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.239 of Trudeau, and he thinks that they've literally backed themselves into the point where 704 01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:52.000 this new dude in Canada's probably going to be the guy running things Porvo or 705 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:54.360 whatever his name is. Look at that. I don't even care enough to 706 01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:59.920 know his name or be able to pronounce it. Yeah, I'm telling you, 707 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:04.920 man, there's some craziness coming. And the more it it it it 708 01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:08.280 parses into different players and different languages and different stuff, the more it all 709 01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:15.320 looks the same. So yeah, get ready for that. That's that's my 710 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:19.719 report. That's that's my takeaway from the Southern hemisphere. And I'm a one 711 01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:23.760 man show. And the Washington Post, who's running around looking for drag queen 712 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:28.480 pictures, can't figure it out long enough to understand why it also happened in 713 01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:34.079 Brazil since they hat's where they were checking out the miss Bumbum contest and getting 714 01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:40.719 some photos. Then you realize how much is being misreported and and and and 715 01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:49.119 just unreported to you. That's that's revolutionary kind of stuff without the marching in 716 01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:52.800 the streets and the hay come live here Nazi signs. That's what I just 717 01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:55.440 witnessed, and I'm glad I did it. I'm glad I'm able to come 718 01:02:55.519 --> 01:03:01.159 back and tell you and the same dirty tricks are a foot down there absolutely 719 01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:07.840 eight nineteen hang on CaCO Day radio program here on your Monday. Yet we're 720 01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:15.840 back back and full of energy and life and already I'm tired. So but 721 01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:20.400 you know, it's just doing a morning show. Wow, you travel, 722 01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:23.840 You gotta get your head back straight kind of in there. But lord knows, 723 01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:30.360 there was more than enough to chit chat about on this fine morning we 724 01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:36.679 get. You know, we talked about obviously Trump with the tempting to secure 725 01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:39.880 bond on that judgment, and then people going, look, see, businesses 726 01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:45.199 won't do business with them because she's been unmasked as a fraud. Ah no, 727 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.159 no, they'll do business with him even if they think he's a fraud. 728 01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:52.320 This is the other thing too, right, They're like, oh that 729 01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.800 now they understand that he's a slick businessman. He's always had that vibe, 730 01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:01.800 right, But that's not how you run a company, especially when it's a 731 01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:05.400 financial services thing. Right. You look at it and go, when my 732 01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:11.800 business, when my business does business with this dude, do we get paid 733 01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:15.239 back or do we make our money? And they evaluate that in this particular 734 01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:20.039 circumstance they get paid back or make their money. It's like you going through 735 01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:25.440 the loan process for a home loan or you know, whatever it is, 736 01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:28.400 car loan. Somebody's going to sit there and look at it. Regardless of 737 01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:31.119 how you feel about it. The person loaning of the money is going to 738 01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:34.599 have to convince themselves one way or the other whether they feel good and loaning 739 01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:40.599 the money. And the reason that companies are scurrying from Donald Trump is not 740 01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:44.199 because they think his hair is funny and he has bad taste and you know, 741 01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.599 making everything gold in an apartment or you know, any of the any 742 01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:50.960 of those kind of alleged things. The reason that they're they're looking at it 743 01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:55.719 is they think that if they do business with him, there is now a 744 01:04:55.880 --> 01:05:00.440 higher chance that it has a negative impact on their business. But not for 745 01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:06.039 the reasons you're spouting, not because they think Donald Trump hasn't over the years 746 01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:11.639 honored these particular loans at least enough that people are willing to make them. 747 01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:15.199 They're looking at it and they realize that nothing is normal around this guy. 748 01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:23.599 So the possibility that you would loan somebody money who in the very next week 749 01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:30.960 could be scooped up by a gendap justice department that goes in the L column 750 01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:35.039 when you're evaluating whether you're going to do something, it is that Trump's fault, 751 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:42.440 or is that due to the unpredictability of his enemies who are willing to 752 01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:46.039 open fire not just on him, but anyone who stands roughly on the same 753 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:54.360 side of the street as him. And I had our brethren out there in 754 01:05:54.920 --> 01:06:06.360 Oregon, specifically the communities of Eugene, Springfield, and Portland. The leadership 755 01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:15.400 for those three communities have now partnered with thanks for the music, They've now 756 01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:20.119 partnered with the University of Oregon so they can get to the bottom of a 757 01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:28.599 problem that has been festering in these three organ communities for quite some time, 758 01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:36.400 the theft of nearly three thousand shopping carts. So that's right. Businesses in 759 01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:44.039 Eugene and Springfield and Portland say that over the last few years, roughly three 760 01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:50.920 thousand shopping carts have been stolen from the walmarts and the you know, the 761 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:56.599 standard local grocery stores for the costcos or basically anyone who's got a cart. 762 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:03.480 Three thousand of them been stolen, and they have no leads. They cannot 763 01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:12.320 figure out who in these three cities in Oregon might be stealing the shopping carts, 764 01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:18.800 and as they are steymied. Now we find ourselves with the University of 765 01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:26.400 Oregon turning this into a research project so they can figure out who's stealing the 766 01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.039 shopping cart. What's this piece of crap costing? Because frankly, give me 767 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.920 the money. I'll tell you right now what's happening. We got some leads, 768 01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:38.800 we got some we did some brainstorm and we got some ideas. Ross 769 01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:42.320 do you think maybe you might have some leads on who's taking the shopping carts? 770 01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:46.599 Since officials in Oregon don't seem to know any theories that could netch you 771 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:53.519 the eight hundred thousand they're going to spend on studying this. Sometimes it sounds 772 01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:58.880 like I probably maga Trump Conservatives. You think it's that's what it is. 773 01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:01.639 And then they're putting like flags on there and stuff like they do with the 774 01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:11.760 boats, and yes, that's the thing. Huh. So I hope you're 775 01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:16.279 sitting down. I appreciate you waiting in there with your idea. Apparently, 776 01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:24.359 this person who looks like they voted for Biden eight times, there's no way 777 01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:29.640 to describe that particular look. They are suggesting. I'm gonna assume it's a 778 01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:33.800 they. For the way this is written, they are suggesting that this might 779 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:41.239 have to do with a quote recent uptick in the number of the unhoused. 780 01:08:45.039 --> 01:08:48.920 You think it might have something to do because your hobo numbers are up. 781 01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:58.560 Might be connected. Might this would be very clear. Might they're using the 782 01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:04.800 word might. I don't know. I'm trying to think if I know, 783 01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:13.520 if anyone has ever stolen a shopping cart that wasn't a hobo at least kept 784 01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:16.479 it. I've seen that move where people if they you know, they don't 785 01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:19.000 have a car or whatever, or they're gonna walk home, they'll walk home 786 01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:25.720 with the shopping cart. I've seen the laziness of apartment dwellers. Right, 787 01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:29.159 you're lived in a big apartment building that has like two or three of those 788 01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:31.319 carts that are, you know, so that people when they go get groceries 789 01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:35.880 can use them. What inevitably happens in the same way, in the same 790 01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:42.680 way that things happen when people go up to a hotel room that's high up, 791 01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:46.560 right, and they have to use one of those luggage carts. Nine 792 01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:54.199 times out of ten that sucker. That sucker lives there. Now, that's 793 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:56.520 where that lives. And if you want to if you want to use it 794 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:58.960 for something else, you gotta remember it's up there. Go get it. 795 01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:01.479 What do you need it? Because your neighbors probably ain't bringing it down, 796 01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:06.239 and maybe if they're I guess somewhat decent, they may think about it the 797 01:10:06.359 --> 01:10:13.159 next time and actually transport one or more of the uh the cards down. 798 01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:19.079 But for the most part that's that's just in use. That's done. But 799 01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:23.920 this is where we're headed down. So there you go, all right to 800 01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:30.239 the phones, start with Rick, what's up ry? Hey Katie? How 801 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:36.039 you doing good? Sir? So I'm wondering if Latsia James is smart enough 802 01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:43.960 to realize that if she tries to liquid ate Trumps at keeps them, then 803 01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:48.159 she kind of creates a catch twenty two situation because she has to tell them 804 01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:53.520 or she's supposed to sell them at safe pair market value. And if she 805 01:10:53.760 --> 01:11:00.399 does that, then it bolsters Trump's argument on his valuation. And if she 806 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:05.079 doesn't do that, then they open themselves up if he wins the appeal for 807 01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:11.840 him taking action against her. Yeah, I mean, and it doesn't help 808 01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:15.920 that she's on the news talking about quote having her eye on the Trump Tower. 809 01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:20.479 So I don't know. I mean, I don't think she's she's really 810 01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:25.520 smart enough to realize it. And by the way, even if the cars 811 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.840 are two hundred and fifty dollars each, that's still the same amount that they're 812 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:35.279 going to spend to investigate it. I just but that's the thing, sir, 813 01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:38.760 I feel like, and thank you for the call. I feel like 814 01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:43.680 it is not necessary to do an eight hundred thousand dollars study because I can 815 01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:46.640 guess where. I guess where your carts are going, and I probably don't 816 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:50.640 have to guess. Oh, the city of Raleigh. What a few months 817 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:56.239 ago they you saw where they they get like three hundred shopping carts off of 818 01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:02.439 the five forty underpass up a capital. There's one after another peering out the 819 01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:10.920 grass there. So this isn't everyone knows where you need to look. That's 820 01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:14.920 the thing that everyone knows where you need to look. Just go handle that. 821 01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:20.199 But instead, now you're gonna, you know, flee fleece the public 822 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:28.079 hall over again, Casey, Hello, how you doing good? Sir? 823 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:38.640 The answer to the chopping cart questions alien space aliens stole little carts. Well, 824 01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:42.760 they would blend, They would definitely blend. And the dinosaurs, I 825 01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:46.039 don't know why they wouldn't steal carts. That's a good point. I can't 826 01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:50.640 argue that they did steal them. So all right, all right, get 827 01:12:50.680 --> 01:12:55.640 out of here. So look, you come at me with flawless logic, 828 01:12:55.720 --> 01:12:59.079 What am I gonna do? I gotta agree, Dave, go right ahead, 829 01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:03.439 Hey, the morning, Casey. Hey. When I used to work 830 01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:06.199 in the boat business, I was up in Maryland and we would do boat 831 01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:13.000 shows. We had a boat show at the Baltimore Convention Center, and when 832 01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:15.520 you take the boats off the trailers, you put them up on blocks and 833 01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:19.359 put like dressing around them so that you know they're the lower. We went 834 01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:28.520 and sole not spol We acquired two of the flat bag carts from BJ's who 835 01:13:28.520 --> 01:13:32.119 were putting these twelve y twelve oak blocks or the push them around the boats 836 01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:39.479 because those things heavy, right, So there was there was a purpose behind 837 01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:45.000 it other than can that make you better than the hobo? No, not 838 01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:47.920 at all. I mean those days I look like I'm homeless, all right, 839 01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:51.680 I'm just saying right. So, and in that case, then people 840 01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:57.760 could claim that I was being too general, h and thank you for the 841 01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:00.039 call and assigning motives for why the carts may have been stolen. But I 842 01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:06.039 still think that my thoughts on this will pan out ninety percent of the time, 843 01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:11.039 and then occasionally you just have one dude at a boat show. So 844 01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:14.239 but if you solved ninety percent of the problem, I feel like that we're 845 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:18.079 not having this conversation. Just something to think about. Eight forty four raised 846 01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:23.880 agic from the weather Channel and standing by. All right, So the shopping 847 01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:27.319 cards keep disappearing in these towns in Oregon, and they're gonna spend a crap 848 01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.880 ton of money to figure out what's happening to them, because what could have 849 01:14:31.159 --> 01:14:36.079 whatever could have happened to the shopping cards, Right, let's spend eight hundred 850 01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:41.479 thousand to figure it out, not just ask cac so put it in there 851 01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:45.760 with the shrimp experiments, right right, right, Yeah, shopping cards experimenting 852 01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:48.039 the shrimp, the same thing. But give me the money, I'll burn 853 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:53.159 it just as quickly as you're so listen, listen, I could spend it 854 01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:56.239 with the best of them myself. Thus here I am, and I'll probably 855 01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:59.560 be here for a long time as long as you'll have me oh chili morning. 856 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:01.880 A lot of low and mid thirties, believe it or not. The 857 01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:08.600 warmer readings are slightly milder readings down to the south as you get near Fayeville 858 01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:13.760 thirty seven, right now Ashboro though thirty six, and around Raleigh in Durham 859 01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:16.800 upper thirties there are a couple of low forties. With the north side of 860 01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:20.119 town it's thirty two, and out in the Triad seeing some low and mid 861 01:15:20.159 --> 01:15:24.560 thirties, even some mid twenties as you get out Surrey County. So little 862 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:28.479 chili for late March day, lots of sunshine and the low sixties for most 863 01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:30.359 of us. Tonight in the mid upper thirties, so maybe a little mild 864 01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:33.119 there, but still jacket Tomorrow morning might not need one. Later a little 865 01:15:33.119 --> 01:15:36.239 more cloud coming in low to mid sixties, but some rain around as we 866 01:15:36.359 --> 01:15:42.039 look ahead toward Wednesday, and showers and showers will continue Thursday and Thursday night. 867 01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:44.880 By Friday, all the sunder be back middle week, so little ifty 868 01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:48.880 by Friday and the upcoming weekend Easter weekend looks real nice, nice warming trend. 869 01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:53.359 If it works the way it looks right now, Saturday could be low 870 01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:56.680 to mid seventies and sunny, and on Sunday could be in the mid to 871 01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:00.239 upper seventies and sunny. So go ahead the week, have forecast. Let's 872 01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.039 hope it works out. Okay, all right, well, thank you sir, 873 01:16:03.119 --> 01:16:08.600 appreciate it. Okay, we will come back chat with Jeff Bellinger next, 874 01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:14.239 hang on the Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News and everything. Nothing exploded while 875 01:16:14.239 --> 01:16:16.319 I was gone. I hope right, No, you missed a good week 876 01:16:16.399 --> 01:16:21.640 on Wall Street. But no, nothing nothing terrible. Oh okay, well, 877 01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:26.920 I much preferred the exchange rate in Argentina. I'm not gonna lie. 878 01:16:27.079 --> 01:16:30.640 So well, listen, unter financial news. There's some good news for you. 879 01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:33.119 But anyway, what do you go? All right, well, welcome 880 01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:38.159 back. Boeing's going to have new leadership in twenty twenty five. The troubled 881 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:43.760 airplane maker just announced this morning the president and CEO Dave Calhoun, has decided 882 01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:45.840 to step down at the end of this year. He will continue to lead 883 01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:49.920 the company for the next nine months. Stan Diel, who is headed Boeing's 884 01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:55.800 commercial airplanes division, will retire. He'll be succeeded by Stephanie Pope. That 885 01:16:56.119 --> 01:17:00.840 is effective immediately. There are also changes on Boeing's board. Boeing shares are 886 01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:03.840 higher in pre market trading, but overall the futures are pointing lower. Now 887 01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:08.640 futures are down seventy three points. Last week was a good one for Wall 888 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:12.640 Street. The major averages all posted solid gains, though the Dow and the 889 01:17:12.800 --> 01:17:16.720 S and P five hundred ended lower on Friday. Federal Reserve officials says central 890 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:23.920 bankers may cut interest rates just once this year. Atlanta FED President Rafaelbostik had 891 01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:28.359 previously predicted there would be two rate cuts in twenty twenty four. He now 892 01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:31.960 foresees a single reduction coming later in the year. Cost of filling an Easter 893 01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:35.239 basket with chocolate, eggs and bunnies higher than it was a year ago. 894 01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:41.279 Experts say the price increases are just getting started. The price of chocolate, 895 01:17:41.399 --> 01:17:45.680 candy and stores reflects the twenty twenty three increases and cocoa prices. Since then, 896 01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:49.760 the cocoa prices have gone into overdrive. They've already more than doubled this 897 01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:55.399 year, and on the commodity markets, cocoa is more expensive now than copper 898 01:17:55.640 --> 01:18:00.520 for the first time ever. NKC Ghostbusters frozen Empire was the nation's number one 899 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.640 movie over the weekend. Com Score estimates the film took in more than forty 900 01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:10.600 five million dollars, and after five movies, the Ghostbusters franchise is now taken 901 01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:15.560 in more than one billion dollars. Casey, can I jump back real quick 902 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:19.000 to the Copper Coco story? Yes? So does that mean meth heads are 903 01:18:19.079 --> 01:18:24.680 instead of stealing my ac unit and catalytic converter, it's gonna be the kid's 904 01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:27.239 hot chocolate? I mean, what is that? That's right coming for your 905 01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:31.760 hershey powder? Yeah? Yeah, nine thousand dollars a ton, geez, 906 01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:33.920 that's what we need. That's all right. So there you go, meth 907 01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:36.359 heads. There's there's a new thing for you. All right. Well, 908 01:18:36.439 --> 01:18:40.520 thanks for that, Jeff, all right, have a good day. Oh 909 01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:45.960 man, watch out, watch out you bonbond hoarders at work. You know 910 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:50.239 you know who you are with the chocolate in your drawer? Could you know 911 01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:54.840 a meth had taken advantage that? Or a zombie? I trying to figure 912 01:18:54.880 --> 01:19:00.720 out this headline this morning. You have the super pop up over the top. 913 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:08.920 Get out of my damn way. So the Biden administration has apparently this 914 01:19:09.079 --> 01:19:12.880 is so stupid his All right, here we go. The federal government has 915 01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:19.880 announced that they will begin investigating the state of Kentucky's zombie minds. What is 916 01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:27.159 that is that? And tell me what you would prefer to be? Is 917 01:19:27.279 --> 01:19:33.800 that a mind where all the binders are zombies or is it a mine for 918 01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:39.439 zombies? And which would you be? Which would you find more interesting? 919 01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:44.039 Ross, better? Better? Better setting for a video game? A mine 920 01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:50.520 completely staffed by zombies or one where they mine zombies for use in. It 921 01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:55.319 sounds like two completely different games, right, it does. Absolutely. It 922 01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:58.439 sounds like, you know, Survival Horror. The other sounds like some sort 923 01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:02.359 of weird, twisted Minecraft's sort of puzzle game. It sounds like a slavery 924 01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:05.920 loophole, doesn't it right? It does. They're like, oh, no, 925 01:20:06.079 --> 01:20:10.359 we're not paying them, but we can't because all they want is brains 926 01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:15.359 and currently we just you know, it's illegal to pay in brains, so 927 01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:19.239 we don't. We're not trying to have them work for free, but well, 928 01:20:19.319 --> 01:20:23.760 how do you get them to dig? Ah? We we use a 929 01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:27.760 brain spray. It just smells like it. It's like cat ing it brilliant. 930 01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:30.840 It works, And they're like, I don't know man, it's just 931 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.199 seems dangerously close to slavery. And they're like, well, there's zombies, 932 01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:40.119 they're not real people. And then we have that conversation, so and you 933 01:20:40.199 --> 01:20:42.960 know, that's just what our country needs. So I don't know if to 934 01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:45.039 me, if I had to guesstimate, if I could for just a moment 935 01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:50.479 kind of wonder what exactly what exactly the big whoop is? It almost kind 936 01:20:50.520 --> 01:20:56.600 of sounds like just another little toe hold for the Biden administration to go in 937 01:20:56.760 --> 01:21:00.880 and start screwing with people who are engaged in the industry that they don't like, 938 01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:05.960 whether it is on day one destroying you know, pipeline worker stuff, 939 01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:13.920 to having to figure out from other mining perspective or natural gas production that they 940 01:21:14.279 --> 01:21:17.279 rules that have put in place have been done so basically to cripple your industry 941 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:21.520 without having to get Congress involved. This is what this smells like to me, 942 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:28.359 unless it's actually mining for zombies or mining with zombies, then in which 943 01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:34.720 case I'm interested. Here we go the investigation into supposedly active but abandoned coal 944 01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:42.319 mines. By the way, this is what they mean by zombie is follows 945 01:21:42.399 --> 01:21:45.680 a citizens group in Kentucky that said they found as many as forty percent of 946 01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:50.359 the state's minds were left in this non producing and dangerous state, and now 947 01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:55.600 they're having to sit here and deal with people who are going in mining
