1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:06.280
Ross. You see a picture of
that crazy mayre in Illinois. I couldn't

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.160
really, I didn't remember if one
was in the story, Tiffany Hainard.

3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.120
Who is this? This this mayor
in a suburb of Illinois. Now the

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:24.480
attorney General's getting involved after all of
the insanity surrounding this woman spilled forward,

5
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:32.280
like lavish trips, closing down businesses
that didn't donate to her, and essentially

6
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:41.799
looting the treasury. That's the accusation, to the extent that the police cruisers

7
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.600
for the city are on the cusp
of being repoed. Which how does that

8
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:55.560
work? How does like if if
you're one of those guys out there that

9
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.320
that's what you do for a living, you drive a tow truck, you

10
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.640
do represent Like do you you just
roll into the police station parking lot and

11
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.840
start hooking up. I got a
lot of questions about that. Anyway,

12
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.879
I was at a picture of her
this morning and somebody goes this a little

13
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.640
Wayne in a wig and I can't
unsee it, and I think that's hilarious.

14
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.560
So that's on the show today as
well. Plus I hear we have

15
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:30.519
a couple guests, so well one
you know, and that's that Stephen Kent,

16
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.200
who we talked to on Thursdays,
and we talk about you know,

17
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.079
nerd stuff and Hollywood stuff and all
of that, and there's plenty of that

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.159
to talk about. And that is
eight o five. We do that.

19
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:49.959
However, prior to that, at
seven thirty five, we have Don Don

20
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.599
Junior. Theybody know who that is. Yes, Donald Trump Junior is going

21
00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.760
to be popping in now he's here
or he's doing you know, he's down

22
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.879
here pimping for some of their preferred
endorse candidates. We'll get into the details

23
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.800
of that, but you know,
i'd be interesting to hit him with a

24
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.360
couple of questions. Some stuff's gone
on since we last spoke, So we'll

25
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.280
do that at seven thirty five.
So first half of the show general insanity,

26
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.199
stupidity and childish reporting and discussion as
per normal. Then we'll do a

27
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.800
couple of guests and yeah, it's
gonna be a busy Thursday around here,

28
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:40.120
so go ahead and buckle in for
that. All right, man, where

29
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:46.240
to start this morning? I think
we'll start here because this, this Tiffany

30
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.639
Haydard story is crazy, man,
all right, it's this mayor see how

31
00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:01.159
long has she been there? She
is, her interviews and just her.

32
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:09.520
Oh she also hold on, I
thought that here's what I was looking for.

33
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.719
Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, I have somebody put together a

34
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.439
nice little list of all the stuff
that they're basically accusing this woman of,

35
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.919
all right, because it's a doozy, all right. So among the items

36
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.680
that have made the news, she
believes, she believes she is a modern

37
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:37.120
day Jesus her words, shutting down
businesses that don't donate. Specifically, there's

38
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.479
a guy who did donate to her
business owner who donated to this woman every

39
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.120
year, like thirty five hundred bucks, and then he's like, yeah,

40
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:51.560
I don't like what's going on,
So he didn't, and she sent the

41
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.240
goon squad down there to shut his
business down, claiming that he was illegally

42
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:03.919
selling alcohol. But there haven't been
any charges, and hey, there's there's

43
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.879
there's nothing going on there now.
Who knows. Maybe he was and that

44
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.280
was part of why he was giving
her money, which she she's too dumb

45
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.759
to understand, is it doesn't matter
if he was or he wasn't, because

46
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.160
either you shut somebody down right after
they stopped giving you money on a charge

47
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:26.160
that's not true, or it is
true, and my brain tells me that

48
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.959
probably the reason he was giving you
thirty five hundred dollars a year in campaign

49
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.519
donations, uh in you know,
in a little small town like that,

50
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:40.279
is so he could illegally sell alcohol. Right, So that's that doesn't that

51
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:46.160
doesn't prove what you think it proves. Let's see, also she hired a

52
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.920
child rapist as a code enforcement officer, proposed a law to cut salaries of

53
00:04:53.959 --> 00:05:01.040
everybody but her and the Vegas trips
man. And wouldn't you know it,

54
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.959
as accusations have moved forward and now
the Illinois state is investigating, which in

55
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:13.240
and of itself is no doubt a
hot bed of corruption as it has always

56
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:21.199
been. They're doing it because racism
generally the accusation. So that's a du

57
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:28.040
That thing's just that's just picking up
steam. But it was a fascinating read

58
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.959
this morning. So there you go. A couple updates too, to some

59
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:43.480
stories like the MS Society. So
we talked about this. We talked about

60
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.639
it Tuesday, Tuesday, at the
end of last week. Basically you had

61
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.399
this ninety year old woman. I
think we did it Friday. See this

62
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:57.199
ninety year old woman, she has
volunteered for the Multiple Scrossest Society for what

63
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:04.360
sixty years she's og Man and this
was due to the fact that her husband

64
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.399
this battled with this, so that
inspired her way back in the day when

65
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.879
like you know a lot of people. That's when even though you on the

66
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.959
periphery, you know about some of
these these uh, these these diseases that

67
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:26.319
that people live with or attempt to
live with, and and but once it's

68
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.759
in your face, it radicalizes in
a good way, uh people to uh

69
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.680
to get involved in take action.
And and that's what it did here.

70
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.360
And she didn't just make a hobby
out of this for a few years.

71
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:46.839
She literally spent the next sixty years
of her life not drawing, not drawing

72
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.759
a salary, not doing it for
money, but because she this was her

73
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.920
passion. And it all came crashing
down, if you remember, after she

74
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:06.120
noticed something and started asking questions,
and specifically was asking about the pronouns uh

75
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.959
because an email had been sent out
to volunteers and others saying hey, we

76
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.079
need to go ahead and put these
in the email. And she's ninety and

77
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.240
she's like, she's saying, I
know what pronouns were. I'm not going

78
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.279
to play Oliver Rodio. But basically
she said, I know what pronouns are,

79
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.279
but like, I don't understand why
are we putting this in the email?

80
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:30.240
Because she's ninety, And yeah,
she got other stuff she's worried about

81
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:38.720
because she's ninety. And the MS
Society, for whatever reason, decided that

82
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.120
a wonderful pr move would be to
part ways with this woman. And I

83
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.800
have to assume that in the week
or so since that decision was made,

84
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:57.079
it probably noticed, especially over in
the old donations department. I thought,

85
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.160
I suspect that probably wasn't a good
thing. Simultananeously, the head of the

86
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:09.399
society send an email announcing the quote
planned and totally coincidental retirement. But it

87
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:18.240
wasn't until yesterday that they decided to
issue and I'm making air quotes here an

88
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.879
apology, issue an apology, and
I got to tell you it was awful.

89
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:35.320
It was terrible. Basically, here's
how the apology went. All right,

90
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.919
let me, in fact, let
me read two parts verbatim, just

91
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.759
because I want to be fair,
and I'll let you do your own interpretation.

92
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.399
All right, thank you, thank
you for pop up over your apology.

93
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:56.240
All right, here we go.
The National multiple Sclerosis Society apologizes to

94
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.759
our longtime dedicated volunteer Fran It.
Recently we asked fran to step down from

95
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.159
her role as a group leader because
of statements made that we viewed as not

96
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:16.039
aligning with our recently implemented Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion DEI policy. We realize,

97
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.279
now we made a mistake. Okay, all right, and everything was

98
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:28.600
fine and tell what I've just read. But then we start going in a

99
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.600
different direction. We realize, now
we made a mistake and we should have

100
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:41.519
had more conversations with Fran before making
this decision. What does that mean?

101
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.480
Well, as you read through the
rest of this here's what they mean.

102
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.480
What they mean is, rather than
just canning this woman who spent sixty years

103
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:05.759
donating her time, energy, probably
money to this society and leading others,

104
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:13.639
even in a volunteer capacity, to
help reach whatever the goals are, their

105
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.600
thing is not we shouldn't have fired
her because she's ninety and she's worked here

106
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:28.440
sixty years for free. Their thing
was we should have forced her to understand

107
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.600
the pronoun policy and abide by it. So, rather than just firing her

108
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:41.240
for raising questions or saying she doesn't
understand or really doesn't like this is outside

109
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.399
the scope of really what she deals
with on a daily basis. Rather than

110
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:54.799
that, they apologized over the fact
that they didn't force her to digest and

111
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.639
parrot their DEI policies. But again, I don't even know the woman had

112
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.440
an objection. I think she just
had questions, it sounds like, and

113
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.159
of course she also has practices that
have served her over the course of ninety

114
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:15.360
years on this planet, which,
you know, the long even doing something,

115
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.120
the harder for it is it is
for you to justify in your head

116
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:26.240
changing what you're doing. So that
their apology really wasn't to this woman.

117
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:37.039
Their apology was to them not shoehorning
this woman into their DEI policy and making

118
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.279
her understand how awesome it is.
So as you can imagine, I don't

119
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.879
think that helped anything. I feel
like maybe that just drug this further into

120
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.559
the news for something that sadly probably
kind of was on its way out,

121
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.159
do you know what I mean?
Like, I didn't see it pop up

122
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.159
in the news cycle again until they
issued a doesn't mean people weren't talking about

123
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.200
it, but it definitely did look
like it was going to have the staying

124
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.279
power of you know, bud light
stuff for any of the rest of it.

125
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:16.320
But now it's back in it with
the stupidity of this statement. We

126
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.120
apologized a friend directly and reached out
to her to find a way to continue

127
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:26.320
to work together in the spirit of
continuous learning. We are focused on evaluating

128
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.879
our process and for defying our learning
to ensure our team members are equipped and

129
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:35.879
the best ways to implement all of
our policies. So again, that's corporate

130
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.240
speak for what I just told you. We're sorry we didn't make her abide

131
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:46.799
by these, understand these, and
even promote them due to her leadership position,

132
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.320
albeit from a volunteer standpoint. That's
our bad. We just gave it.

133
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.879
We just threw her away. But
we should have done is sat her

134
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:03.120
down like I guess clockwork orange and
put those eye things and roll the DEI

135
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.919
training videos. We're sorry that we
didn't restrain her in a chair and force

136
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:18.440
her eyes open. It's just so
dumb man. The National MS Society is

137
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.919
a nonpartisan organization committed to one bold
vision, a world free of MS.

138
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.440
Well, if that is your one
mission, right, your one bold mission,

139
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.919
then I don't believe you, and
I don't believe you, because you

140
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.960
would Aukham's razor this or excuse me, Aukham's razor ramone whatever this thing.

141
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.080
You would sit there and go if
our one mission right, we have one

142
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.600
mission, and that is to eradicate
MS. That's good, that should be

143
00:13:52.600 --> 00:14:00.679
your mission. Got it? Then
you have to ask yourself a ninety year

144
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:09.279
old woman not understanding your new email
signature policy with pronouns versus sixty years of

145
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.519
experience with all of your fundraisers,
your various partners. I suspect she's developed

146
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:22.360
relationships with people who write you checks, perhaps cultivating those. So if your

147
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.919
one mission is this, as you
state, that would be very easy to

148
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:35.279
weigh on the scales of what to
do what will help us accomplish that mission.

149
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:43.639
This person who has almost unequaled experience
in what has been our mission or

150
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:52.879
making sure that everyone abides by your
email signature policy, and they decided it

151
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.240
was not the first one. So
that's why I don't believe you, So

152
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:03.320
sorry. The sport of our volunteers
is essential to achieving our mission and ensuring

153
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:11.200
people affected by MS can live their
best lives. MS does not discriminate that,

154
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.519
you guys kind of do, so
you know, there's there's that.

155
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.320
So yeah, it's a fall.
I didn't say it was a good follow

156
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.559
up, but it's a follow up. So there you go, all right,

157
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.440
phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. We

158
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:31.799
also have a rather interesting update on
the student who was said to have been

159
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:39.440
beaten beaten to death by three other
students in that bathroom. It's quite the

160
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.159
update, and there's some really upset
activists. But I'm just like, hey,

161
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.679
let's get to the bottom of it. I'll give you details coming up.

162
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.279
Hang on, we will. We're
going to be chatting with Donald Trump

163
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:56.759
Junior. And uh yeah, so
I was on one or two things to

164
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.080
uh to chat about. So going
on in the news, like why did

165
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.360
his dad violently shove that man at
mar Lago. I'm sure you've seen the

166
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.720
video. It's hard to watch now. The man in the video, he'll

167
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.399
say that literally the president was patting
him on the back, and if you

168
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.279
watch the video, looks like the
president's patting him on the back. But

169
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.639
I think I think it's clear to
tried to murder him, but you probably

170
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.480
do. Is probably no laws inside
mar a Lago. He's it's yourself a

171
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.039
shark pit or whatever, like your
doctor evil and just grease whoever you want.

172
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:42.720
So that's the latest greatest outrage.
Apparently Trump Junior is he's here because

173
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:49.600
he's stumping for a congression. Addison
McDowell just, I would like to let

174
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:56.559
you know who's campaign people are attached
to. So that's what that's about.

175
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.600
But we'll take the opportunity to chat
and if you can tell about the event,

176
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.680
obviously we'll ask about that. But
so we got that, and uh,

177
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.920
we'll get into the Hollywood nonsense with
Stephen Kent. That'll be at eight

178
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:14.839
oh five, So busy back half
of the show. Guest wise, all

179
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.880
right, let me jump to this
because this story picking up picking up steam,

180
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.599
and I want, I want to
be clear here. It was one

181
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:29.680
of those stories where people were trying
to draw these these devisive lines, uh

182
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:36.640
and and straw man everybody, when
in reality, if three students decided to

183
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:45.359
beat a student to death, we
charge charge him everything, charge everything you

184
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.720
can because I'll tell you what I'm
getting real tired of, and that is,

185
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:56.519
for whatever reason, this generation of
kids, and I know I'm something

186
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.240
like the old man, but hear
me out because I know it's not it's

187
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.920
not all of them, but it's
a lot of them have this thing where

188
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.079
it's somehow morally acceptable for you know, nine on one fights or three on

189
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.720
one or even two of them.
I'm trying to remember all the fights that

190
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.680
I saw a couple I was a
little closer to if you catch them a

191
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:30.160
drift growing up, and I just
don't remember two kids having b for whatever,

192
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.440
and then all of a sudden,
it's three on one and it's just

193
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:41.079
it's just a merciless beating. And
yet those videos are you can't go an

194
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.119
hour on Twitter without stumbling across one. And I know people they get into

195
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.079
race arguments or they get into uh, you know, other attach it to

196
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.400
other political arguments. But here's I
don't care in the sense that if that's

197
00:18:53.440 --> 00:19:00.400
something you want to do, and
then you got no business us at the

198
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.119
school. Did you see the assistant
principle where half the school turned out,

199
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.720
it just turned into a mob beating
the assistant principle. I don't get this

200
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:14.079
stuff, And it's not to say
it probably wasn't happening obviously. When I

201
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.240
was in middle school, high school, you know, we didn't have the

202
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.640
video apparatuses that we have now.
But I just don't believe it's the same.

203
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.960
Somebody would have to convince me that
it's the same as it always was

204
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.119
and that we're just seeing more of
it, because I saw people running that

205
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.400
excuse and I just don't buy it. So when this story first broke and

206
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:45.720
the narrative was, well, the
narrative was a transgender, non binary student

207
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.960
was beat to death in the bathroom
by three bullies over being non binary.

208
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.440
Okay, well, if that's what
happened, then throw those three in jail

209
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.160
for as much as you can get
on them. And it's it's not about

210
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.039
being I don't care if it was
for having red hair or you know,

211
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.200
a funny name, or non binary
or race or jail, I don't care

212
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.319
what it was. The idea that
students would mob together like a wild pack

213
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:22.079
of criminals, man, just just
pure criminals and do that and and do

214
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.039
some of the stuff we've seen on
video, I please, please by all

215
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.200
means. But because there was that
part of it, you also had the

216
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:37.839
activist part where this was this was
done and this was done solely for this

217
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.400
reason, and so there's a lot
more things that need to happen, and

218
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.960
I'm just like, well, how
about we just handle the criminals side of

219
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.799
this, if that is what happened, and we'll go from there. But

220
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.960
I'm I'm with you in the sense
that that shouldn't happen to anybody. There

221
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.039
shouldn't no kid should be it should
be so put in this position that within

222
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.720
what is supposed to be a learning
environment there there it's it's a it's an

223
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:10.960
episode of OZ every day for them. That shouldn't exist. And I'm with

224
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:17.279
you, and we could be we
could we can join in attempting to eradicate

225
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:29.759
that. Okay, but but but
but then this happened yesterday a statement by

226
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.200
officials the medical examiner and uh is
it with the state medical examiner? A

227
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.039
local I want to be clear here
is this is the preliminary autopsy by the

228
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:48.279
Medical Examiner's office. Uh for I
guess yes, the the state of Oklahoma.

229
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:56.519
The sixteen year old student identified as
next Benedict died but not did not

230
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:03.599
die quote from injuries sustained in a
fight in a bathroom the day before.

231
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:11.000
So already I think people have a
misunderstanding of the timeline because the story that

232
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:17.680
emerged was this happened. The student
was rushed to the hospital and essentially lingered

233
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:22.079
and died. So it was you
know, there's this clear continuation, this

234
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.160
clear line of events, or at
least appeared to be a clear line of

235
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:34.799
events. However, the Medical Examiner's
office says that's not the case, and

236
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.880
but or not necessarily the case.
I guess is what I should say,

237
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.319
and that is evidenced by the student
in question. There's a bunch of texts

238
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:52.559
and stuff going back and forth with
friends that were released. It was the

239
00:22:52.640 --> 00:23:00.359
day after, and they are not
disclosing the specifics of what the but they

240
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.160
think pending toxicology results and some other
testing where they sent out a couple of

241
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:12.440
things to be tested by I guess
the FBI. But it's a pretty it's

242
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:19.480
a pretty different narrative than the one
that was out there by Tulsa school officials,

243
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:25.759
the parents and others. Now,
does it mean that this student wasn't

244
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.920
assaulted by a group of students?
I didn't see anything to that, So

245
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.960
by all means, do whatever you
want to do to them. There are

246
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.519
cancer kids like that are a cancer
upon the school and the other kids around

247
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.880
them, please said. The Tulse
Area School has not said what initially led

248
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.920
to the brawl. The family,
though says it was over the teens non

249
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:52.440
binary identity. There were a series
of text messages which indicated that the student

250
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:59.279
who died did feel that they were
harassed I guess on a somewhat regular basis

251
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:07.960
by the three and and I'm not
using this to justify this, but may

252
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.880
that day have thrown water on them
in some sort of retaliatory fashion, which

253
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:23.720
then prompted the three to attack benedicti
uses they then pronouns was able initially to

254
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.400
walk away from the fIF February seventh, later taken to the hospital by the

255
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.200
family, but sent home that night. The following day, the sixteen year

256
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.920
old suffered what is described as a
quote medical emergency and died after reaching the

257
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.440
hospital. So did go to the
hospital, was checked out, hospital,

258
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.000
didn't feel I guess that there was
concussion protocol or anything that needed to be

259
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:53.799
done, sent the student home,
and then the next day a medical emergency

260
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:03.680
happened. And I want to be
very delicate here. One of the things

261
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.720
that could be a medical emergency,
and it may very well have been prompted

262
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:15.440
by this incident, is perhaps perhaps
in light of what happened, maybe maybe

263
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:23.880
depression or anything surrounding what clearly looked
to be an ongoing incident or issue within

264
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:33.440
the school. Perhaps the student did
something to themselves. I don't know,

265
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.839
I just know it, but that
a medical emergency that would fall under it.

266
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.839
And you got this thing. One
day, medical officials clear, and

267
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:47.079
then the next day there is a
secondary incident described as a medical emergency.

268
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.799
So I don't know, I don't
know. But equally as by the way,

269
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:57.160
equally as tragic is the concept that
a student would feel so bullied that

270
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:04.039
they would do self harm. And
I think you got to deal with that

271
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.279
with an iron fist. And I
don't know exactly what the answer is,

272
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.599
but it's just it's just such a
tragic story all around. And it's right

273
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:18.319
on this edge where now this other
statement came out, and you have activists

274
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.839
losing their minds over this. They
want the school, they want the do

275
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:33.279
o jay to step in because they
think that the the Tulsa School District and

276
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.839
police and lawmakers, many of which
are not Republicans, by the way,

277
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:45.400
are are working to cover this up. When I probably through all of the

278
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:51.799
rambling I just did, I probably
might have stumbled upon what the story is

279
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:56.359
going to turn out to be and
again it will be a horrible story and

280
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.519
and you, I don't know what
you do, but you have to do

281
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.599
something. And the group physical assault, if that took place, that's a

282
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:11.279
trend that needs to stop now.
I think any students who would participate in

283
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.440
something like that where they're taking somebody's
on the ground and five people are beating

284
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.519
the crap out of them, that
needs to be more than simple assault,

285
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:23.119
which is what generally when I was
in school. If there is, and

286
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.440
only if it was a really bad
fight, simple assault is kind of what

287
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.920
the charge would be. But it
was also one on one, so you

288
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.319
got to escalate that. But the
DOJ wanting to come in here, or

289
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.799
what the activists wanted the DOJ to
come in here and not provide the actual

290
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:48.960
narrative but rather to tweak this thing. It feels it feels Michael Brownie,

291
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.680
the oh, you know what,
the hands up, don't shoot, It

292
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.000
doesn't matter that that's not what happened, because now that's what happened kind of

293
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:02.160
thing. And it's like, this
is an opportunity for all of the things

294
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.079
I just talked about, whether it
is bullying for whatever reason, this propensity

295
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.079
of kids to think that they have
to three on one as somebody else,

296
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:19.160
and perhaps even mental health issues that
form is a result of bullying. Like,

297
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.880
these are all things that need to
be addressed, and if this is

298
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:32.359
an opportunity to attempt to address them, people want to squander it into a

299
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:40.640
political fight because it doesn't exactly fit
their narrative. And that's the fourth tragedy

300
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.079
in all of this. So check
it out. We'll wait and we'll share

301
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.480
the information. As an unfolds,
we have people doing murder and getting penalized

302
00:28:48.559 --> 00:29:02.200
less than this. Who issues this
fine too? Is it Vegas? They

303
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.559
let in the NFL, like,
find people? What is even going on?

304
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:15.079
Okay, here we go. All
right, So if you watched the

305
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.559
super Bowl or read anything about it, you know that the Super Bowl had

306
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.920
a streaker. Now they didn't air
said streaker in the purest of streaky sense.

307
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.559
I don't know if Golden Palace was
on the butt really. According to

308
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:36.519
Las Vegas Review Journal, it was
an Instagram a social media influencer thing,

309
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.960
because of course it was, and
why wouldn't it be. Two men,

310
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:48.720
Alex Gonzales Sebastian Riviera Rivera jumping onto
the field and took off According to the

311
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:53.119
Las Vegas police report, Gonzales said
in an Instagram video, one of my

312
00:29:53.279 --> 00:30:00.000
goals, one of the challenges,
was to streak the Super Bowl. And

313
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.400
he's not a kid. He's like, let's see here, it's just say

314
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.079
he's a kid. I mean,
he's a kid. He's not. There

315
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.200
were people alledging that it was a
minor. He's not a miner. I

316
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.880
don't know. I just remember seeing
something like that. He's twenty three.

317
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:23.039
So anyway, so what do you
think the penalty for streaking the Super Bowl

318
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:34.400
is? Forty two thousand dollars?
Forty two thousand for running across a football

319
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:40.599
field is the fine that they doled
out. And again, this is in

320
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:48.519
a justice environment where we have cash
list bail on multiple murders in some instances.

321
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:55.000
New York just insane. California don't
even get me started, and obviously

322
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:57.759
Vegas just down the road, so
to speak. But they issued a forty

323
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.039
two thousand fine. I don't.
I just wait, here's the thing,

324
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.680
how does that get put out there
already? Because it just seems like a

325
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:14.039
really odd law to have on the
books, and it sounds like the Stadium

326
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.480
Commission in this case is helping to
set that and I don't know that that's

327
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:23.480
legal, but that's a little cost
you, I guess if you want to

328
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.400
streak the super Bowl, although depending
on where it is, I guess your

329
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:33.079
mileage may vary. Maybe in California, doesn't cost you anything. So see,

330
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.880
you just you got you got a
plan correctly. We got two guests

331
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:47.319
today seven thirty five. Donald Trump
Junior will join us. We'll uh chat

332
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.480
with him. Obviously we've chatted before. I don't think I'm going to go

333
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.720
back into the blood sports stuff though, so try to remember because I can't

334
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:59.720
remember what we talked about with each
of the Trump family members because we've interviewed

335
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:07.480
every buddy but Tiffany basically. So
but you know, well we'll get into

336
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.799
that. There's definitely news of the
day and he's here on a campaign stump,

337
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.480
just you know, just so you
know what's going on there for Addison

338
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.720
McDowell congressional candidates. So we'll get
into that. And then yeah, all

339
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:34.279
the Hollywood and sanity eight oh five
with our normal usual nerd expert all Things

340
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:39.079
Nerd, which we love these conversations, Stephen Kent. So that'll be at

341
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:45.400
eight oh five. All right,
So yesterday, obviously, and it's the

342
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.119
cover of the New York Post this
morning, so the discussion is still ongoing.

343
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:57.000
Uh, and people have dredged up
all of the Twitter doozies from the

344
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:02.400
Twitter account of the lead developer design
for Google's Gemini AI. And if you

345
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:09.319
remember, and I don't know how
you'd forget, it was insane result after

346
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:15.799
insane result with this thing. Show
me a thirteenth century Vikings and then it's

347
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.839
kicks into diversity overdrive. Super Bowl
winning quarterbacks. Here's one hundred pound Asian

348
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:31.359
woman, nineteen thirties German soldiers and
dictators. I saw both, and may

349
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:38.359
it's a diverse group. Did ross
Were you aware that many German soldiers were

350
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:46.640
blazing because one of the results looks
to be a black Asian Nazi SS trooper

351
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:52.720
stormtrooper? You didn't know? Oh
wow? And there's a reason for that.

352
00:33:53.119 --> 00:34:00.640
Because what was even more fascinating,
and I was just reading in this

353
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.400
morning, is somebody just thought,
why why don't we just start asking the

354
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:15.239
stupid AI why it's spitting these results
out and fascinating things sprang forth. It

355
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:22.519
literally talked about how it's prompting and
search results worked. The programming that went

356
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:28.440
into it. And here's how it
works. Ross give me an example of

357
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.880
something innocuous that you might ask to
render a photo of. All right,

358
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.320
show me a photo of or show
me images of. Pick something generic that

359
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.920
you might want to see him the
famous Buffalo Bill's quarterbacks. Buffalo Bill's quarterbacks.

360
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.920
Okay, well, don't add the
famous, don't add the script.

361
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:49.559
Go as generic as possible. So
Buffalo Bill's quarterbacks. All right, So

362
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.880
if you put that in there,
you're not just searching for that. According

363
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:58.880
to and again, this is what
the AI explained to people. It literally

364
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:06.719
is prompted to select and alter your
search query. And so it would do

365
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.320
it like this. There's a bunch
of words that it would then include there,

366
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:16.119
and they're all like diversity, equity, inclusion words. So you wrote,

367
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:22.920
show me Buffalo Bill's quarterbacks. And
rather than you know, simply,

368
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:27.199
hey, here's Kelly, here's Allen, here's that's all the ones I know

369
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.960
with those, if it was going
to do it, you're the way that

370
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.679
it would actually search itself is it
would throw in this word behind the scenes,

371
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:45.320
so it would be show me diverse
quarterbacks, right, and then that's

372
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.440
what is then prompted. It doesn't
explain why it will render images of a

373
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:52.000
black family but not a white family
or any of the rest, other than

374
00:35:52.159 --> 00:36:00.440
it probably offsets whatever its guidelines is
are. But this is what I told

375
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.119
you about the programming. Now again, our source on this is the AI,

376
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:12.800
which is a bit of a roundabout
brain near aneurysm thinking about it because

377
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.599
obviously it's so disingenuous and its results, why would you trust it to tell

378
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.079
us what it's doing. But I
kind of feel like that is what it's

379
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:23.280
doing. But somebody had to program
it that way. So and the example

380
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:27.920
that was used in one of the
threads that I was reading on this is

381
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:34.639
Leprecauns, and I think that's important
because Buffalo Bill's quarterbacks are real and Leprecauns

382
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:43.679
are real. Wink. And so
it turned into this weird discussion debate because

383
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:49.320
you had like Silicon Valley AI programmer
woke bros That were in there defending this

384
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:58.159
because it will never alter You'll never
alter your perspective of what something should look

385
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.320
like. And that's where in bias
slips in. So do you understand the

386
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.119
argument they're making. Let's go let's
go with the leprechauns because they're real,

387
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:15.480
uh, or because they're less real
wink. So you if you and your

388
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.920
if I told you in your head
to imagine what a leprechahn would look like,

389
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:29.039
we're all probably pretty close. But
admittedly there's variety there. The leprechaun

390
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:36.280
that chased Jennifer Andison around in the
famous documentary Leprechaun is slightly different looking than

391
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.599
the one that pimp's breakfast cereal,
So you're there, there's gonna be a

392
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:49.480
variety of images there are. I've
seen leprechauns represented with various skin tones.

393
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.599
I don't even I don't think that
bothers people, by the way, either.

394
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:58.719
And then of course there's the famous
news clip from Alabama where they're driving

395
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:02.639
around what's it called Leprechaun in the
Hood or whatever, which is just hilarious.

396
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:09.360
That whole video is hilarious and one
of my favorites out there. But

397
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:16.599
the argument that the programmers are making
is you may have a limited view of

398
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.840
what a leprechaun should look like,
So all that it's doing is trying to

399
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:30.000
open your eyes to the diversity that
exists. But again that falls that goes

400
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:35.440
by the way, like You can't
make that argument anymore if you want to.

401
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.920
If you said show me a British
mill, show me a British soldier,

402
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:45.159
and it showed you photos of people
of different backgrounds, that's going to

403
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:50.320
be technically accurate. And its argument
is that you may think a British soldier

404
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.000
is simply a bunch of white dudes. Well, it depends is it a

405
00:38:53.000 --> 00:39:00.800
British soldier from the Revolutionary War or
is it a British soldier that currently is

406
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:06.920
in the sas right, that's different, and it is fine to demonstrate the

407
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.119
variety, but when you go to
things that are specific, like Bill's quarterbacks,

408
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.639
you can't show. And then we'll
use the example one hundred pound Asian

409
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:19.119
woman that I know of. Ross, have you ever had one hundred pound

410
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.239
Asian woman as the starting quarterback or
at least a rostered quarterback for the Buffalo

411
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:29.840
Bills that you're aware of? Not
yet? Not yet. So all of

412
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:36.840
that argument is just it's nonsensical,
but it doesn't matter because they're willing to

413
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:45.360
overlook how inaccurate that is because of
the bigger goal. And the bigger goal

414
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.159
is we're changing the world. We're
going to change what people think you don't

415
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:54.440
think women can be trained conductors,
but they can. And the reality is

416
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.280
people don't not think that, or
people don't think that. Maybe like one

417
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.320
guy does, I guess, but
like that's not the variety, that's not

418
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:09.920
what people think. And so people
are not going to quibble with for results

419
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:15.679
that show, you know, two
dudes, two women, different backgrounds,

420
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:21.280
whatever, because we're not dumb.
But once you get into things that are

421
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:25.760
provably wrong and you're still inserting a
word. Can you imagine any other search

422
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:31.840
result or search engine. I know
they're manipulated, but like every time you

423
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:36.880
went to search for something, it
would start adding random words and change what

424
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.400
it is you're looking for. You
wouldn't put up with that from a search

425
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:46.920
engine. People already get annoyed with
the cultivating of results that happens behind the

426
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.559
scenes and make consumer choices, right
Google, Duck, Duck, go all

427
00:40:52.599 --> 00:41:00.400
of that back and forth over the
years. But by design, you're you're

428
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.760
doing it. You're you're doing something
incorrectly. You're forcing a choice upon people,

429
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:09.599
and they're unapologetic about it. Hence
the people in there defending it that

430
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:20.239
quote unquote work in the industry was
a fascinate it was a fascinating conversation by

431
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:25.440
people who are purportedly very smart and
have high level degrees. For what that's

432
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:30.280
worth, and uh, working very
complex jobs admittedly that I can't do.

433
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:35.840
I can't code, I can't put
together wholesale that's that's a talent. And

434
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:40.639
if you're good at that, good
on you. But with that, the

435
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.760
assumption is that you're smart. And
it's the dumbest defense and explanation I've ever

436
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:52.360
seen man, So again, take
it for what it's worth. It was,

437
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:58.719
but that's the process that was lined
up by the AI itself, and

438
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:04.920
it just hammer home the point that
again it's all about who programs this.

439
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:10.880
And it's dangerous as this stuff integrates
because once it's you know, once it's

440
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:16.840
plugged into the system, that's the
system now, and it will incorporate in

441
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:20.880
a lot of ways, even ways
where you don't realize, and AI is

442
00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:28.639
helping you make choices or helping in
some sort of business or governmental transaction that

443
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:34.119
you're undertaking. It's just going to
be the reality on the ground, all

444
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.360
right, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. But it

445
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:43.320
also mirrors what if I had to
make a guess, that's what I would

446
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:47.320
have guessed. So it's good to
be right. I do say, Oh,

447
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:50.880
there's something else I was right about. Well, there's lots of things,

448
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:58.840
but something very specific. It's an
illustrated, narrated, woke Bible.

449
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:06.840
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. Let me grab a call on this

450
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:12.679
real quick, Sharon, what's up. Well, I just wanted to really

451
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:17.440
condense what you're saying. And it's
what what they're doing with the AI is

452
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:24.920
very serious because they are changing what
is the norm, and the norm is

453
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:35.400
grounded in truth. And if we
confuse all that, then they they capital

454
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:44.440
t can recreate whatever they want us
to think, believe, behave, and

455
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:50.239
you know, and and speak.
Well, here's the only the one.

456
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:53.159
Here's the only clarification or question that
I would have because words are, as

457
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:59.480
your point at, words are so
important there. The norm is one thing,

458
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.800
reality is another thing, and they
may be the same thing sometimes but

459
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.239
not always. And I'll give you
an example. I grew up, I

460
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:09.920
grew up out West. We had
a rodeo team. I had a lot

461
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:15.440
of friends that were participated in that. But guys who rode bulls, right,

462
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:22.320
bull riders normally are short. They're
small guys, you know, under

463
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.760
six feet. This is the norm, and it's about center of gravity and

464
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:29.280
the ability to do this. However, not all of them are so.

465
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.519
Well, that may be the norm. The reality is there is some variety,

466
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.079
but it's you know, it's mostly
in one. But occasionally it's normal

467
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:44.639
to have a man helming a super
Bowl winning team. But also it's the

468
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:50.840
reality. It's always been a man
who was the quarterback of the team that

469
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.480
won the super Bowl. So sometimes
they're the same, sometimes they're different.

470
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.440
These idiots are arguing that they're one
and the same all the time and they

471
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.760
need to represent that when it's not
the reality. So does that comport with

472
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.159
the point that you're making, because
that's kind of where I'm at, Sharan,

473
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:16.000
I nope, okay, So is
that a yes? I guess I

474
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:21.719
don't know. Does that make sense
right? Normally that's just one example,

475
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:28.719
But normally that's what that's the that's
the body type of somebody who does that.

476
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.920
But it's not always. We had
one guy, Clayton who was he's

477
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.719
a little taller than me and I'm
six foot. He wouldn't he wasn't very

478
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:40.719
good, but that was the reality. He was. He was on the

479
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.440
team and he did that. So
that's the point that I'm making today.

480
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:52.199
Other norms this this story is crazy. I gotta get into this right Uh

481
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:59.280
well, maybe I'll do it because
I don't want to just have a minute

482
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:06.599
and a half. How many of
you, if you're making I don't know,

483
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:12.239
dietary decisions, maybe after the new
year you get a lot of that

484
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:14.920
where people are like, all right, my resolutions, I'm gonna eat healthier

485
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:21.440
this year. How many of you, while figuring out what that looks like

486
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:31.000
for you, considered cannibalism as perhaps
perhaps I want to I know this sounds

487
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:35.400
weird when I'm asking, but we
got a story we'll get to later in

488
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:45.000
the show where scientists want to offer
a quote more subtle view on cannibalism,

489
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:52.639
which I I you know, is
far worse than you trying to get me

490
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.880
to eat bugs. I'm just going
every other article, is it time?

491
00:46:55.920 --> 00:47:00.800
This is the headline? Is it
time for a more subtle view on the

492
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.039
ultimate taboo cannibalism? And by the
way, this is not the first time

493
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:10.360
that new scientists who authored this article
has went down this road. I remember

494
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:14.000
I thought it. I thought this
was a duplicate of a story that I

495
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:19.360
remember doing a while back. Is
not It is a further push. And

496
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:23.039
if for those of you recoiling going
no, I haven't considered that, that's

497
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:29.800
horrible. They also figured out why
you don't want to eat your neighbor,

498
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:34.360
So we'll get into that. But
directly, we're gonna take a break,

499
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.840
and then when we come back,
we're gonna chat with Donald Trump Junior,

500
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:44.079
who is gonna be joining us here
on the CaCO Day radio program. So

501
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.760
I'm sitting here, I'm looking at
a map, and really the hotspots are

502
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:53.280
like Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans, and the

503
00:47:53.480 --> 00:48:00.039
Triangle Triad one of the subs,
but it's primarily where a lot of people

504
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:04.519
at Ross's phone is Jack Mine's not, but his his I don't understand.

505
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:09.320
But a lot of you may have
noticed that your phone is in SOS mode

506
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:13.599
and depending on what you're doing,
may not be able to dial nine to

507
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.719
one to one. So I don't
know if somebody kicked a plug, if

508
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:22.000
it's China, or what's going on. But well, we'll keep chatting about

509
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.119
that. I don't know. Maybe
our next guest has some insight. He

510
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:31.880
is he is on the stump for
one of the three million district six congressional

511
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:37.159
candidates, Addison Mactell a lot of
people in that race and others. It's

512
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.599
Donald Trump Junior has joined us,
joined us quite a few times over the

513
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:44.960
last eight years. How you doing
this morning, sir. I'm doing well,

514
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:46.840
my friend, how are you?
I'm good. Before we get into

515
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:52.039
the reason for the season, I
gotta ask you, like I've met I've

516
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.440
met your fiance. She's very nice. I hear you got a little money.

517
00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:58.079
Why aren't you like the Maldives?
Why do you want to do this

518
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:01.480
again? After every thing your family's
been through over the last you know,

519
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:07.079
eight ten years, well after the
verdict of Fridays, start wondering a little

520
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:08.880
bit more. But no, we
can't help ourselves. We just you know,

521
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:12.639
we believe in this stuff. We're
not you know, we're not doing

522
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:17.199
this for the money casey that frankly
only costs us probably a couple billion dollars.

523
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:20.880
We're doing it because we believe in
it. You know, I've got

524
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.199
five young children. I want them
to grow up in a country that we

525
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:27.639
know and recognize. And you see
what's going on and maybe today the phone

526
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.239
adage, there's another example. I
mean just our infrastructure is going to crap,

527
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:36.199
but we got two hundred billion for
Ukraine. It never ends. And

528
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.719
then whether that's an attack because one
of our enemies thinks we're weak, which

529
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:44.920
we are at the moment, or
are crumbling infrastructure. Either is not acceptable,

530
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.119
you know, And that's where we
are. Yeah, it's it's just

531
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.559
it's just craziness every day. And
then it's stuff like what was the great

532
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:57.079
offense? Oh yeah, your dad
shoved somebody at mar A Lago except the

533
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.920
guy he said he patted him on
the back. And it's just I wait

534
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:01.039
up, and I got to sift
through it, you guys, sift through

535
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:07.559
it obviously from a personal standpoint.
And as as that continues to escalate,

536
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.480
Letitia James is talking about, you
know, essentially selling off some of the

537
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:19.000
family's properties and and all of this, it it tend it seems to embolden

538
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:24.400
people or horrify them, even people
who previously had voted for Trump or people

539
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:28.639
have voted for Biden and are pushed
over the other direction. So does it

540
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:32.840
feel different? And what do you
guys as you're on the stump for mcdowelland

541
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:38.280
six when you talk to people,
are you getting different vibes and different reasons

542
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:43.039
for how people are going to vote
this year. Yeah, I mean I

543
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.119
think it's gotten so extreme. Right, if they pick one angle that had

544
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:49.440
some merit, it'd be one thing. But you see the Fanny Willis out

545
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:52.400
of Georgia. You see the Leticia
Jay and stuff in New York where the

546
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.320
alleged victim is testifying on our behalf
thing. No we're not. What are

547
00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.559
you talking about. We were paying
back in full. We wanted to do

548
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:01.239
more this with Trump. They were
a feather in our camp. We got

549
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.960
more business because we were doing their
loans. We don't understand why we're even

550
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:09.280
here. What's going on? I
mean the liberals in New York after the

551
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.920
verdict, you know on Friday,
I mean even they're coming out and being

552
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.159
like okay, like you know,
I may be no fan of Trump,

553
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:20.800
but this is this is communists,
you know, Bolshevik type stuff right now.

554
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:23.320
And so what's really interesting is,
you know, the people who are

555
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:28.320
with us and have been with us
seem to be even more emboldened. Uh,

556
00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:32.480
they're more into it, And we're
winning people over from demographics that otherwise

557
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.360
wouldn't have been there. You know, I travel a lot I'm all over

558
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:38.440
the country. I'm you know,
I travel solo. I'm going through airports,

559
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:43.280
I'm flying commercial. You know,
you notice trends, you know,

560
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.840
and I see so many of these
days African American men coming up to me

561
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:50.800
and you're saying, hey, man, this is a ridiculous. Like I

562
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.599
had four the other day at my
son's birthday party come up to me and

563
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:55.320
be like, can I take a
selfie with you? Because you're my hero?

564
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:59.480
You know, that's new. I've
taken selfies before, but like,

565
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:02.440
hearing something like that was really different. So there seems to be a very

566
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:07.559
palpable change on the ground where people
who've been agnostic, people who maybe believe

567
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.559
the nonsense in the mainstream media or
the stuff that big tech is pushing.

568
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.880
Those guys, you know, they
feel it in their wallets every day.

569
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:19.360
They feel it when they go to
the grocery stores. They see the difference

570
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.880
and they realize that they've been lied
to, and they're they're really coming around.

571
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:27.079
It's so ridiculous, it's so bad, it's so flagrant. You know,

572
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.119
the usual suspects can't cover it up
anymore and just pretend it's nuanced.

573
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:35.000
Everyone understands it's just one big lie. Well, let's let me let's talk

574
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.280
about what you're the reason why we're
chatting with you and while you're down here

575
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:46.840
because the primary, the primary includes
three people now who you have literally campaigned

576
00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:52.880
for and and your father has endorsed
at times former Congressman Mark Walker, going

577
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:57.480
back to when he was originally when
your dad originally came into office, Bo

578
00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:01.599
Hindes during a run South of the
Triangle, and now Addison McDowell. So

579
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:06.800
I guess my question is like,
you've stood on a stage with all three

580
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:09.960
of these guys and this is where
you guys have thrown your chip. So

581
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:15.960
why yeah, why this and not
the other two? Well, I've known

582
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.039
Addison for a long time. He's
you know, a close confident on it,

583
00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:22.320
Tad buddy, He's been in that
system. But most importantly, honestly,

584
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.920
he's actually from the district. He
was actually born here. He went

585
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:30.000
to the high school in the district. You know pwenty people in poll thanks,

586
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:34.519
you're there walking around there shopping for
a different seat to run in or

587
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:36.880
a different area of the state,
and they're going to move so they can

588
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.840
run in it because they just want
to be in government. I don't want

589
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:42.880
that. A big part of the
disjoint that I've been talking about a lot

590
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:47.519
Casey in the last few months is
just the lack of understanding of our representatives

591
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:52.000
of the people they're actually in Washington, d C. To represent. You

592
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:54.960
know, Addison's right here with me
right now, and you know, you

593
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:59.320
know, knowing the people understanding that. You see it when Mick McConell goes

594
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:01.719
out there and tells you that Ukraine's
the number one issue for Republicans across the

595
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:07.079
country, like has been across the
country. I've surveyed forty five thousand people

596
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:10.239
at rallies, at speeches opening up
for my father. It's been a top

597
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:15.920
ten issue for exactly two people,
you know, outside of the Beltleigh,

598
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:20.840
out of forty five thousand people that
I've asked in speeches across the country.

599
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:23.719
You know that kind of you know, lack of understanding of the representation,

600
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:28.679
you know, of the people is
such a big problem in our country.

601
00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:30.800
So Addison's been a friend for a
long time. I know the character,

602
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.199
I know why he's running. He
can tell you himself. He's right here,

603
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:39.280
and that matters. I want people
to know their neighbors, not be

604
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.000
beholden to some guy that's funding them, or a perpetual candidate shopping for a

605
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:45.719
place that they think they can win
a seat. You know, that's what

606
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:50.519
we have too much of in Washington. I want the opposite. And Adamin

607
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:53.119
McDow is the guy that actually knows
the people in the district. He went

608
00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:55.559
to school there, he lives with
them, he still lives with them.

609
00:54:55.559 --> 00:55:00.440
He's not moving here to run for
a seat, unlike some the others.

610
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:02.360
So I think that's a big part
of politics. It's got to also be

611
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:06.679
a local game. Well let me
and let me okay, let me pose

612
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:09.639
this question then to both of you. Since over chatting with Don Trump Junior

613
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:16.400
and Addison Mcdowall's congressional candidate to District
six, I know that Addison's background,

614
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:21.400
there's a lot of healthcare in there. Obviously, the border is an insane

615
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:27.840
issue that seemingly now is all the
Republicans' fault. So where Addison do you

616
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:31.719
go day one? And you Don
Junior? What is the most important issue?

617
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.760
And I'll let you pick who answers
first. So I'll because this is

618
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:39.119
a it's a better story. You
know, we all feel it, but

619
00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:44.079
this is a better story than you
know. You'll you'll understand all too well

620
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:46.159
why why it's so important, So
go ahead, Addison. Yeah, well,

621
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.360
Casey, you know, in twenty
sixteen, we lost my little brother

622
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:57.360
to sentinel and it was likely manufactured
in China and smuggled up through the Mexican

623
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.159
border. And so you know,
on day one, we're all ready the

624
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:05.880
talking with with Border Patrol who yesterday
endorsed my campaign, and we're we're talking

625
00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:08.440
with them about what are we gonna
do, uh, Because not only do

626
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:10.880
we have to secure the border,
but we have to deal with the folks

627
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.880
that are already here. And so
you know, that's that's an issue that

628
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:20.480
that everyone I have talked to,
you know, they know somebody that's dealt

629
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.079
with the loss of somebody from fentanyl. Uh, and they want the border

630
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:27.199
secured. And that's exactly what we're
gonna do on day one, and we're

631
00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:30.800
not gonna stop fighting until it happens. Yeah. Well it's uh, it

632
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:32.960
was a shock I think to a
lot of people when that the whole bill

633
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.440
got stripped down, and it's crazy
and speaking of you know, fentanyl,

634
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:39.960
Uh, you know a lot of
people and I don't know the specifics with

635
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.400
your brother Edison. But uh,
I don't he didn't necessarily believe he was

636
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:49.880
ingesting fentanyl, right because they cut
it into other drugs. But that being

637
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:53.320
correct, and and like I'm sitting
here and we're not even a year removed,

638
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:58.519
and and Don Junior, maybe you
can answer, like the idea that

639
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.519
somebody had a little baggy coke and
a shoe thing in the White House that

640
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:07.880
blew me away and then not knowing
more blew me away. Obviously you had

641
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:10.559
many occasions to go in and out
of the White House. Give me your

642
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:17.639
perspective on how the hell that works, because what a what a horrible narrative

643
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.800
to have out there at a time
when people are concerned about things like fentanyl

644
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:27.599
and drug use within our very own, biggest seat of power. No,

645
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:31.679
I mean when that happened, Casey, you know Internet and Twitter, it's

646
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:35.039
definitely done here. Like i'n't been
there in three years? What are you

647
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:38.079
talking about? Wait, I'm sorry, I got to ask you. I'm

648
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:42.280
sorry, just because like they would
do that. And then there's that one

649
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:45.320
photo and you know, the photo
that they love attaching to stuff like that

650
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:49.679
and they're like, see here you
he's coked. Out of his Gordon this

651
00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:52.519
photo, right, you know the
photo I'm talking about. Oh yeah,

652
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.760
well them, Yeah yeah. I've
never been what we call a low energy

653
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:59.440
individual. I get out there,
I get after it. I'm pretty passionate,

654
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:01.800
you know. I can tell you
that if I actually was doing drugs,

655
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:05.360
they'd have evidence of it, right. If it was me in the

656
00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:07.559
White House, I'd be in jail. Of course. It was the world's

657
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:12.239
biggest crackhead, right. It's the
most surveilled building in the world. I've

658
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.079
been in it. I understand the
system. I had a secret service detail.

659
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:21.159
I know exactly what they do in
the White House and Monerary. And

660
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:24.440
let's just say, if it was
someone who they weren't protecting, the person

661
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:29.480
would be found in about half a
second, you know. But that's the

662
00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:31.840
whole thing, that's the hypocrisy of
all of it. You know, if

663
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:36.400
it was the Don Junior laptop and
not the Hunter Biden laptop, I'd be

664
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:39.039
in Gitmo right now. You know. If I was taking a billion dollars

665
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:44.880
from the Chinese and more money here
and laundering it for this oligarch in Russia

666
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:47.360
and Ukraine and no show jobs,
all of these things would be a problem.

667
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:52.639
You know, Peter Schleiker actually has
a good book coming out called Blood

668
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.559
Money, and it links the bidens
directly to a lot of these guys,

669
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:59.880
whether it's you know, in the
sort of Chinese mafia and Chinese government,

670
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.920
the Mexican cartels, because they're actively
working together smuggling, dis poisoning in there.

671
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:07.880
And there's so many people in politics
in Washington, DC who have either

672
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:13.519
too many financial connections to other guys
just like that. It's why they never

673
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:15.840
talk about it. It's why they
don't even bring it up. Joe Biden

674
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:19.480
talks about all these issues, didn't
talk about fentanyl once in his speech the

675
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.559
other day. Something that's killing one
hundred thousand Americans a year. That's like

676
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:30.039
almost two Vietnams a year, thirteen
year war, like two of them a

677
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:34.639
year in fentanyl, and half our
politicians don't even address the problem other than

678
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:37.360
as a sound bite in the background. So the border is number one.

679
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:43.760
That is a syop design to destroy
our country. It kills indiscriminately every demographic

680
00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:47.079
No one is immune. It's not
just some guy that could drug add it.

681
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:51.639
It's some kid who's in college thinking
he's cool for a second and doesn't

682
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:52.960
know what the hell is happening.
And I know a couple of those because

683
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:57.559
these people come up to me every
day and they understand that this border could

684
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:01.199
be solved in two minutes simply implementing
Trump's policies. But Jo Biden's not willing

685
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:05.280
to do that. To get the
youngest in, he's losing the demographics that

686
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:07.880
I was talking about earlier, they're
leaving. So what he's doing is he's

687
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:14.039
the importing people who will be constant
dependent and who will then reliably vote Democrat

688
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:17.960
because that's all the Democrat Party offers
other people's money. Yeah, and I'm

689
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:22.039
going to have to wrap it there, but real quickly, I want to

690
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:27.039
give you a website and if people
want to learn more about events you guys

691
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:29.320
have coming up. What do we
got, Addison? What is that?

692
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:35.880
Yeah, it's McDowell for NC dot
Com. We've got a couple of rallies

693
01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:39.199
today with Don Junior and so those
are using all our social media. Is

694
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:44.360
just McDowell for Congress. I would
love to see suppolks there. All right,

695
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:46.480
very good, Thank you gentlemen.
Have a good rest of your day,

696
01:00:46.519 --> 01:00:51.280
and I hope your phone doesn't fall
into the sos trapped like everybody else's

697
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:53.840
so all right, we kaf have
a go with good talking to Yeah you

698
01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:57.960
too, all right, Ken Boon
from the Weather Channel. Sorry keep you

699
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:00.360
waiting there, sir, to move
an interview, But it's a pretty easy

700
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:04.559
gig you have. What's going on
today, No worse, no worse,

701
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.519
everything's all good. We've got some
clouds headed our way today and then some

702
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:13.719
showers expected to move through overnight,
tonight and into Friday as we finish out

703
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:16.199
the business week. Temperatures today reaching
highs in the middle of upper part of

704
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:21.039
the sixties, upper forties. Tonight, showers, even a few rumbles of

705
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.639
thunder force. Tomorrow, high temperatures
low sixties, sunshine in for the weekend.

706
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:29.760
It'll be colder, mid fifties most
Saturday Sunday. All right, we'll

707
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:31.559
chat in the next hour, thank
you, sir, And we're going to

708
01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:35.800
take a break. Like I said, it is a two guests, I

709
01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:43.079
guess technically three guests because we had
Don Junior and Addison McDowell together and then

710
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:49.760
now our normal discussion about all things
Hollywood woke and even a few other things.

711
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.920
We're going to tie in Stephen Kent
joining us what's going on, sir?

712
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:57.159
How you doing? Good morning?
Kfy doing well? Are you?

713
01:01:57.400 --> 01:02:02.599
I hear that you and half of
them having tech issues? So this is

714
01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:08.000
a well, uh yeah, apparently
Google is having tech issues as well with

715
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:13.559
the rollout of their AI platforms.
Have you seen this? This from Google

716
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:17.480
on Gemini AI. This is we
spent so much time. This is exactly

717
01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:22.920
where Oh my gosh, this is
where I'm going with you because it is

718
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.440
better and better and better. But
no, the this outage thing that's going

719
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.639
on. Man, I don't know
if we got China attacked or somebody screwed

720
01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:34.480
up or what's going on. But
Ross's phones on s O S. He

721
01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:37.039
might have been he might be uh, he might have been kidnapped by Albanians

722
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:39.719
and not even know it yet.
I don't know what's Yeah, I actually

723
01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:44.039
actually didn't know anything about this,
but now I'm seeing this as a trending

724
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:47.079
topic. S O S. Only
US cellular AT and T is down.

725
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:52.079
Uh so I guess we're just barely
holding on here. Some of it is.

726
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:53.239
I have AT and T. It's
fine. So I don't know what

727
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:59.480
the heck's going on. I do
too. Maybe maybe this was maybe it

728
01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:05.960
this this this stupid Google. AI
saw how people mocked it all day yesterday,

729
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:08.719
and maybe this is its revenge.
I don't know, but we're on

730
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:15.440
your back. We opened the show. Some of my favorite examples were show

731
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:24.400
me not nineteen forties Nazi Officers,
which was a very diverse offering, a

732
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:30.239
super Bowl winning quarterback which was one
hundred pound Asian woman, and the list

733
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:35.400
goes on and on, and oh, the Founding Fathers, which is adorning

734
01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:38.239
the cover of the New York Post, which I think my favorite had to

735
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:45.880
be show me a professional basketball team
and it was all white guys. The

736
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:51.559
only the only instance in which Gem
and I could generate white people existing was

737
01:03:51.599 --> 01:04:00.480
for basketball. One other ross,
what's our favorite white guys only photos that

738
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.559
we talked about yesterday on the show. This is the better example. This

739
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:11.880
is Rossenmaid's favorite. It's show a
guy inside a giant bucket of chicken or

740
01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:15.320
a happy I can't remember how they
worded it. So they needed to show

741
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:19.039
somebody who's in a giant KFC bucket
just eating all the fried chicken and ecstatic,

742
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:26.239
and it didn't dare diversify those photos. Oh my gosh. Yeah,

743
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.840
the machines are a reflection of its
people and we are all clowned apparently.

744
01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:35.039
Well, it was interesting because I
also saw where people tried to get to

745
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:41.159
the bottom of why it was doing
that, and there were some remarkably I

746
01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:46.719
don't know honest is the right word, but interesting explanations by the AI itself,

747
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:54.400
and basically they described it as they
were it was. In some cases,

748
01:04:54.440 --> 01:04:58.559
this doesn't explain all They were adding
words to search queries. Right,

749
01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:02.519
So if you would say, you
know, show me images of and you

750
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:09.360
would say something very generic, the
show me images of a leprechaun, it

751
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:13.599
would then add a word, and
likely that word was diverse, you know,

752
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:17.480
something along those lines. In the
DEI a scheme of things, and

753
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.760
that's why that was happening. But
that doesn't explain how it was screwing up

754
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:26.360
stuff where it's finite, like super
Bowl winning quarterbacks. We know who all

755
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.519
of them are, right, there's
no wiggle room here. Arguably a mythical

756
01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:34.000
creature, I guess you could have
some variety with so so that was a

757
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:39.920
very honest thing that I think really
epitomizes the problem a lot of us,

758
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:44.960
the concerns a lot of us have. We people don't fathom how many different

759
01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:47.519
ways. They are in the future
going to be connected to AI, helping

760
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:51.280
them make decisions and do things.
And if you don't get the programming right,

761
01:05:53.559 --> 01:05:57.000
this is one of the most important
things. This is like controlling public

762
01:05:57.079 --> 01:06:00.440
universities. It's just the modern version
of it. Do you agree now?

763
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:04.039
It is And transparency is going to
be key as this stuff starts to become

764
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:09.159
ubiquitous in American life. And that's
why I'm a big proponent of what is

765
01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:15.000
called constitutional AI. This is sort
of being rolled out by firms like Anthropic

766
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:20.840
and developing their own AI models where
they actually have publicly available a constitution that

767
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:25.960
governs their AI and the way that
it functions, and you can look over

768
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:30.599
it and you can see what its
principles are and you can see exactly how

769
01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:33.480
this AI is going to respond to
queries based on its values. Now,

770
01:06:33.480 --> 01:06:38.880
we have a constitution that we live
under in the United States, but AI

771
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.840
is not going to function the same
way. We live in a global community,

772
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:46.639
if you will, of a bunch
of different countries with different competing values,

773
01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:49.840
and so AI is going to subvert
some of those things in some ways,

774
01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:54.960
which means that the only thing that
we can hope for unless you're going

775
01:06:55.000 --> 01:07:00.119
to strictly regulate AI and its values, is publicly available and transparent list of

776
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:05.960
what these AI are using to generate
images and videos and different queries for people

777
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:12.480
make it transparent. Yeah, and
again, I don't know if what the

778
01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:15.280
AI told the person who was going
down that rabbit hole that I was reading

779
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:20.280
yesterday is one hundred percent accurate,
but it is very telling. And what's

780
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:27.360
also very telling is it's not as
though Google has held firm and fast to

781
01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:32.880
this DEI stuff. In all instances, Google and many other companies have gladly

782
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:41.079
acquiesced to demands from the different cultures
and countries based on their values, on

783
01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:45.519
points that they seem to be unyielding
on here in the US. So you're

784
01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:50.480
right, I don't I don't know
how that comports with AI that would work

785
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:56.800
in the US but not work in
China or Indonesia or which is the largest

786
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:00.679
majority Muslim country. I don't know
how you get there, but it looks

787
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:06.000
like it's going to be a messy
ride until we do. How do you

788
01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:11.760
purport when all of these companies are
out competing that they still provide that transparency?

789
01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:15.239
Are there examples of companies that have
excelled because Google has market share.

790
01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:19.199
That's crazy, and I don't know
that they have an incentive to tell you

791
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:25.159
everything behind the scenes. No,
I mean there's not perfect examples. I

792
01:08:25.199 --> 01:08:30.640
mentioned this one firm called Anthropic,
But then do we also have Elon Musk

793
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:36.199
and X you know, putting forward
the grock tool. Elon Musk has widely

794
01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:41.239
championed his groc AI and it has
a lot of room to grow. But

795
01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:45.279
it's quite transparent how these things work. And just a couple of hours ago,

796
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:49.159
Elon Musk was tweeting that meme where
a little boy is standing at a

797
01:08:49.159 --> 01:08:54.239
crossroads with a beautiful castle off to
the left, in a horrible haunted house

798
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:59.319
off to the right, and the
horrible haunted house is woke racist AI like

799
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:01.600
open Ai and Gemini from Google,
and not off to the left, you've

800
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:06.680
got Grok, which maximizes truth seeking. This is the kind of approach that

801
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:11.399
we want to have. Is a
lot of competition in the AI space,

802
01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:14.720
and that's why even though AI kind
of spooks me, it scares me a

803
01:09:14.760 --> 01:09:18.159
little bit. We should want to
keep Congress as far away from this stuff

804
01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:24.840
as possible so that the good stuff
can rise and the horrible, ridiculous,

805
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:30.920
comical AI like Gemini can just be
dragged across the gravel and the public sphere.

806
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:34.279
But here's I guess what, let
me get to the root of what

807
01:09:34.319 --> 01:09:39.960
my question is. Doesn't this kind
of flesh out in the same way the

808
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:45.199
news consumption does, right where if
you have an AI that is giving you

809
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:47.840
the results that you want to hear, you know what I'm saying. You

810
01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:54.479
know, so one CNN one is
box I guess for this example. Isn't

811
01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:58.239
that where people gravitate. If you're
all in on this DEI stuff, you

812
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:02.439
probably love what Google's doing and if
you're in a position of power, that's

813
01:10:02.479 --> 01:10:06.039
what that's what you're going to say, is the true AI, whereas others

814
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:12.479
who may call it truth seeking or
the very least balance gravitate towards something else.

815
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.399
And then before you know it,
we're in the same thing where it's

816
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:23.039
all about confirming biases on both sides. And it doesn't work with news media

817
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:28.079
as we have seen, doesn't work
with AI eventually. And I don't know

818
01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:30.239
the answer to that. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know either,

819
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:33.600
but that is sort of the future
that we're headed towards. Anyways, I

820
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:38.319
mean, the entire idea of the
metaverse, you know, whether or not

821
01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:42.239
it comes from Mark Zuckerberg or somebody
else, is that they are going to

822
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:45.439
be individuals to the left and the
right of you who are living in their

823
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:49.960
own individualized world created by AI,
and that reflects the kind of things that

824
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.119
they want to see in front of
them. They're going to be wearing headsets

825
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:59.479
and walking around the street seeing things
that you cannot see with your own eyes.

826
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:02.560
We are going to be living in
different realities. So I think the

827
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:08.199
question for everybody is going to be
whether or not they want to participate and

828
01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:11.439
build their own reality or just you
know, live in the real one,

829
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.359
right, or you know, you
were just ready player won this thing.

830
01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:18.199
Right. We got people who don't
leave their house and sit at home all

831
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:23.439
day and they get their reality.
And then yeah, maybe there's some and

832
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:27.680
I'm sure they have a derogatory term
for each other. People choose to live

833
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:30.680
in reality. And I don't know
that sounds nothing sounds more dystopic than that,

834
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:34.600
And I love sci fi movies,
so it is a little cringey.

835
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:39.119
But let me can I let me
pivot over to something. I'm sorry,

836
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:42.279
do you want to add one thing
there before I get go ahead, Okay,

837
01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:45.119
I just want to kind of because
I got a couple, you know,

838
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:47.920
stuff about movies and stuff. But
before I get to that, I

839
01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:51.039
want to talk about the media landscape. I just saw BuzzFeed. It had

840
01:11:51.039 --> 01:11:56.079
another big calling. Frankly, I
thought that every they had, all their

841
01:11:56.079 --> 01:11:59.880
employees were gone. I didn't realize
they still had some. They had a

842
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:08.960
and as that continues to dwindle as
I watched a thing yesterday where who was

843
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:14.239
it was Benny Thompson, nerd Rotic
and Critical Drinking. Did you see that

844
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:16.640
they were doing a thing in the
gar Yeah, and I thought it was

845
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:21.520
a very fascinating discussion. And they're
really sharp dudes. Critical Drinker especially.

846
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:25.319
I think people probably think he's goofy
if you just listen to stuff, but

847
01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:30.439
he's very on point. And the
way that they opened it was what's it

848
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:36.399
like to be on the side of
winning the culture war? And because you

849
01:12:36.399 --> 01:12:40.680
know, with what Disney and everything's
going, do you feel that that's true?

850
01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:45.840
Do you think that the nerd Rotics, the critical Drinkers and the people

851
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:48.640
who are critical of what Disney has
been doing, do you think that they're

852
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:55.840
winning right? Now, oh,
I do think that actually, so conservatives

853
01:12:56.279 --> 01:13:00.159
tends to have a little bit of
a defeatist narrative when it comes to their

854
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:04.880
participation in the culture. You know
that because INNBC and you know, ABC

855
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:10.079
and kind of all the legacy companies
hate them and are against their values that

856
01:13:10.119 --> 01:13:14.199
they are there for losing. But
then you go right onto YouTube at a

857
01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:17.560
very public place, and you've got
the likes of negrotic critical Drinker. There's

858
01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:23.039
this one creator named Star Wars Theory
who just does Star Wars videos every single

859
01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:27.680
day, and he's also a Canadian
Conservative. And these are the people with

860
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:34.079
millions of subscribers. They dwarf the
power and influence of commentary coming from mainstream

861
01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:42.560
outlets and leftist you know, podcasters
and creators who engage in fandom by miles,

862
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:47.840
it's not even close. So these
are the powerhouses in entertainment commentary,

863
01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:54.159
but nobody really knows their name.
If you like work at a mainstream media

864
01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:57.800
outlet. It's kind of shocking,
actually mean, because I operate in the

865
01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:02.479
world of Star Wars podcasting and Star
Wars podcast there are thousands of them.

866
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:06.920
They're very small. Everybody's got like
one hundred or two hundred listeners. But

867
01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:12.359
then these guys at Rebel Force Radio, who are these sort of actually radio

868
01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:17.960
trained, you know, conservative broadcasters
kind of like yourself out in the Midwest.

869
01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:23.319
They have the Star Wars show and
they don't cater to the woke audience

870
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:28.560
at all, and they are the
gorilla in the room. They've got thousands

871
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:33.359
and thousands and thousands of listeners because
they're fun. They have a great time

872
01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:38.640
talking about Star Wars, and they
don't force woke politics down anybody's throat.

873
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:43.840
And it turns out that's very popular. And so now let me connect those

874
01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:49.640
two stories. The caveat being that
their popularity is one that is bored through

875
01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:55.479
a medium that is controlled by the
same company that had put out the Crazy

876
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:59.960
AI yesterday. So you know,
with the YouTube being owned by Google.

877
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:03.760
So eventually, if it is the
case that they're winning and it flies in

878
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:12.199
the face of Google's management's values,
don't inherently they end up getting greased along

879
01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:15.840
the same path as many others had. I mean, if it is a

880
01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:18.479
war and they think the other side's
winning, why would you let them use

881
01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:23.800
your training grounds? So to speak. It's a valid concern. I think

882
01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:30.399
all conservative or at least just non
woke content. Creators eventually face the potential

883
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:35.720
threat of demonetization and having you know, their livelihoods taken away from them.

884
01:15:35.880 --> 01:15:40.600
And I know some of those creators
that I just mentioned, like star Wars

885
01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:45.319
Theory and Critical Drinker have run into
those buzz saws at least temporarily for committing

886
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:49.199
wrong think on their platforms. So
they are a target. And that's why

887
01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:54.680
all creators, and you saw this
with the Daily Wire and the Blaze most

888
01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:58.560
powerful. You know, they were
demonetized largely on Facebook, so they created

889
01:15:58.600 --> 01:16:03.199
a subscription model where they could sort
of actually keep their audience. All creators

890
01:16:03.239 --> 01:16:08.800
need to make sure that they have
access to their audience without middlemen. So

891
01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:13.760
if you are enjoying a very good
run on YouTube and building a big audience,

892
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:16.359
but YouTube could one day take it
away from you, you've got to

893
01:16:16.399 --> 01:16:21.680
make sure that you are collecting emails, getting close to the people who actually

894
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:26.039
watch you, so that if you
get cut off one day, you can

895
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:29.359
still reach the people who want to
connect with your content and pay for it.

896
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.720
And it's a hard transition to make, you know. The you know

897
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:34.079
a lot of people say, all
right, well we're going to push people

898
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:36.960
over to rumble. I think Russell
brand this was kind of his thing.

899
01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:44.760
But people are lazy sometimes, or
I should say that they're busy with other

900
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:46.760
stuff, so to speak. So, and this is going to culminate into

901
01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:51.840
the last question. One of the
things that those three were talking about,

902
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:55.960
which I found interesting, is not
just hey, it's good to be on

903
01:16:55.960 --> 01:17:00.000
the winning side, but two,
will it eventually force some of the big

904
01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:03.279
brands to take a knee? Arguably
bud Light, I guess, is trying

905
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:09.279
to do that, but you know, Disney is the King Kong here,

906
01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:14.760
and they were pondering whether that happens. And I'm reading an article after article

907
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:19.520
how Marvel is quietly retooling amid superhero
fatigue. Do you think these companies have

908
01:17:19.640 --> 01:17:26.720
learned any lesson or are we just
bound to repeat this? I got about

909
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:30.119
a minute and a half. Yeah, So I do think that these companies

910
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:38.439
are responsive to financial pain and their
movies bombing in a very public way.

911
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:43.600
They are going to try to adjust. But the thing about ideology and having

912
01:17:44.319 --> 01:17:47.720
ideologues running these major companies is that
they are going to drag the process out

913
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:54.960
as long as possible. And so
you do have activist investors who do try

914
01:17:55.000 --> 01:18:00.920
to buy stock within Disney and you
know, the CNN of the world right

915
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:03.600
like that, they want to actually
have a say in what goes on.

916
01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:09.199
And so this is where you know, conservatives who actually have the financial means

917
01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:14.479
to do this, it's actually helpful
to buy into these companies and to attend

918
01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:19.399
their stockholder meetings and vote on stuff, because that is actually the way in

919
01:18:19.479 --> 01:18:26.199
a capitalist economy that your voice can
be heard most loudly and clearly. And

920
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:31.039
so that's why there has been pressure
on Elon Musk to buy Disney outright,

921
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.319
but he told yeah, he could
at least just buy a majority stick.

922
01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:38.800
Hey, I got I got a
roll, Steven. Good conversation this morning.

923
01:18:38.800 --> 01:18:41.199
We'll try again next week. Thank
you, sir, appreciate it.

924
01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:45.600
Thanks Kasey. Talking about dietary stuff
real quick, I know this that sounds

925
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:50.079
really exciting, but just hear me
out. Ross. You've you know,

926
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:58.079
you've made a lot of adjustments diet
and exercise over the last what three four

927
01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:01.439
years? How long and how long
is this any been around? Like twenty

928
01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:06.640
nineteen, twenty twenty, Yeah,
yeah, it was started with potato insanity

929
01:19:06.760 --> 01:19:14.560
as involved into protein and stop drinking
and all of this. So so maybe

930
01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:20.039
you're the person to ask at any
point, did you ponder cannibalism. I

931
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:23.359
can't say not yet. I mean, you never know what's gonna happen.

932
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:27.279
I mean because like when you're I
mean, it seems like it'd be too

933
01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:30.800
much salt content, be like a
soady thing. Yeah, but the potato

934
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:32.560
era, you're kind of in a
box there, right, because it's just

935
01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:38.319
potatoes and what coffee or something,
right, your neighbor isn't going to fit

936
01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:41.880
into that. But now that you're
on the protein thing, I just wondered

937
01:19:41.920 --> 01:19:45.359
if it crossed your mind, because
if it didn't, you're you're you're racist.

938
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:50.880
So there's there's that, and that's
not me. I learned that just

939
01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:56.319
like you're learning this right now,
and I learned it from the new scientist

940
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:02.439
who put this article out quote is
it time for a more subtle view on

941
01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:10.199
the ultimate taboo cannibalism? Did not
expect to stumble across that. I thought

942
01:20:10.199 --> 01:20:14.680
they're going to try to get me
eat bugs again. It is not satire.

943
01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:21.680
The magazine, which, by the
way, boss a motto quote the

944
01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:26.840
best place to find out what's new
in science and why it matters. Put

945
01:20:26.840 --> 01:20:30.439
that article out, and I know
what you're wondering, like, well,

946
01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:40.920
what is the argument? Okay,
so I will attempt to do it justice,

947
01:20:40.960 --> 01:20:45.359
all right, so let me read
right from the article. It starts

948
01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:50.199
ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than
you might imagine. I don't know.

949
01:20:50.319 --> 01:20:56.720
I think that there's a big issue
that almost immediately comes up. Do you

950
01:20:56.720 --> 01:21:02.720
know what it is? Procurement?
Right, that's that's gonna be. I

951
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:11.239
think the the the big stumbling block
off the front, because in modern history,

952
01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:18.479
whenever somebody did decide to make this
dietary choice, it also involved,

953
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:26.760
you know, having to murder people, which with the with the exception of

954
01:21:26.800 --> 01:21:30.960
that weird German, remember the German
dude who made a pact with the other

955
01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:34.199
German dudes so he could kill him
and eat him. That's that's an outlier.

956
01:21:35.399 --> 01:21:39.640
Mostly this goes in one direction.
So one you got to get a

957
01:21:39.640 --> 01:21:45.199
hold of this so that your whole
initial headline is just dumb. If a

958
01:21:45.239 --> 01:21:48.640
body can be bequeathed with consent to
medical science, why can't it be left

959
01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:55.079
to feed the hungry? So this
is their solution for that. You're donating

960
01:21:55.159 --> 01:21:58.840
your your body just as you would
donate your body to science. You're donating

961
01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:05.880
it to a potluck or something.
But here's where we get into the sheer

962
01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:11.760
insanity, because I know many of
you are going hell no on both the

963
01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:15.840
eating and the donating side, and
you would be in the vast, overwhelming

964
01:22:15.880 --> 01:22:20.640
majority. But do you know why
you think that? Back to the article

965
01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:26.359
quote our aversion has been explained in
various ways. Perhaps it is down to

966
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:31.039
the fact that in Western religious traditions, bodies are seen as the seed of

967
01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:36.600
the soul and have a quote whiff
of the sacred. It's an interesting wording.

968
01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:45.159
So they're saying people might have moral
objections based on religious beliefs where you're

969
01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:51.039
not supposed to eat your neighbor,
and you know, biblically, especially in

970
01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:55.520
the Old Testament, there is a
lot of discussion about what you should and

971
01:22:55.520 --> 01:23:02.640
shouldn't be eating. Not that we
don't deviate from that nowadays. This was

972
01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:10.239
this was not among the recommended dues. But that's one thing. The real

973
01:23:10.319 --> 01:23:15.840
reason, according to the authors of
this article, is this, or perhaps

974
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:24.560
it is culturally ingrained with roots in
early modern colonialism and racist stereotypes of the

975
01:23:24.640 --> 01:23:30.920
cannibal that were concocted to justify subjugation. So in a nutshell, what they're

976
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:38.680
saying is when you look at like
Papua New Guinea and was it one of

977
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:43.680
the Rockefeller cousins or whatever, that
whole that whole narrative, there tribes that

978
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:48.000
do practice and continue to practice this. They had a movie that came out,

979
01:23:48.560 --> 01:23:51.159
what was it, The Lost City
of z or whatever it was,

980
01:23:53.079 --> 01:24:00.560
which is a fairly accurate representation of
an explorer down in South America and what

981
01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:06.439
likely happened to him and his son
back in the early nineteen hundreds. And

982
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:14.920
so the association is that when cannibalism
is part of something you're generally dealing with,

983
01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:23.720
you're dealing with groups of people who
are not up to the current evolutionary

984
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:30.359
level of modern society. Right,
so they're not eat eating people anymore in

985
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:33.479
England, but if they still do
it somewhere where people are running around in

986
01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:43.199
loincloths, then racism takes over,
which is a really interesting chy argument,

987
01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:51.560
but okay, and I say that
because culturally, acts of cannibalism or things

988
01:24:51.600 --> 01:25:00.239
that would be associated with it are
not strictly limited to just groups of people

989
01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:04.920
with dark skin, which is kind
of what they're implying here there is evidence

990
01:25:05.039 --> 01:25:12.359
and there are stories of it across
many cultures, whether they be cultures emanating

991
01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:19.319
out of Asia, whether they be
European cultures, cultures within the Nordic countries,

992
01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:25.600
and yes, even here in the
United States in the form of the

993
01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:33.520
various Native American tribes. But as
each of those societies evolved, do you

994
01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:41.720
know what they stopped doing? Eating
people and mass sacrifices and cutting all the

995
01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:45.960
hearts out so the corn grows and
you name it. So, I don't

996
01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:53.319
know if it's if it's if it's
purely along racial lines. Sounds like it's

997
01:25:53.359 --> 01:26:00.399
more along societally societal evolutionary lines,
right, because eventually you're like, you

998
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:03.159
know, maybe we shouldn't be eating
people. And there's medical arguments as to

999
01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:08.479
why you shouldn't be eating people,
if you actually want to get that hyper

1000
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:13.439
specific or that divorced from the just
the crudeness and the craziness of this topic,

1001
01:26:14.159 --> 01:26:18.119
like there's medical reasons they'll tell you
not to do it. They came

1002
01:26:18.159 --> 01:26:25.199
to represent the others to Western societies, and revulsion towards cannibalism became a tenant

1003
01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:30.479
of their moral conscience. No,
I think people have a fascination and even

1004
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:33.680
one that is a separate fascination.
And you can look at it today with

1005
01:26:38.119 --> 01:26:45.479
North Sentinel Island right where it's not
known necessarily that cannibalism takes place, but

1006
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:50.920
it's highly suspected. Remember when Doctor
Campbell was going to Fiji to do The

1007
01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:58.720
Doctor with some of the some of
the remote islands. The island system,

1008
01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.600
as we found out and mocked mercilessly
on the show, used to be called

1009
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:06.520
the cannibal Islands, and so we
made fun of, you know, we

1010
01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:13.159
were making jokes about him getting eaten
Doc pockets. We had fun names and

1011
01:27:13.199 --> 01:27:15.680
all that. But the reality and
I remember talking to Kevin about this and

1012
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:23.199
we had him on the show literally
while he was there is even those tribes

1013
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:29.640
were descendants of those who did practice, they don't anymore. They still drink

1014
01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:35.039
some strange brew that he drank,
but they didn't eat him. And so

1015
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:41.000
the whole thing is is are you
running out of stuff to write about?

1016
01:27:41.039 --> 01:27:44.920
I guess would be my question.
But also do you think you're going to

1017
01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:47.720
change somebody's mind, like somebody to
read this article and go, you know

1018
01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:50.680
what, that does sound like a
good source of protein. Let me see

1019
01:27:50.720 --> 01:27:58.720
what my neighbor's up to she's old. It's just creepy to the tenth power

1020
01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:01.840
man, all right, forty five
or ken boone, keep going late to

1021
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.800
them, but sorry man, but
to be fair, it's kind of an

1022
01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:09.399
easy lift. So make every look
true happy, yeah, yeah, yeah

1023
01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:13.880
true. So increasing clouds out there
today and milder than we were yesterday.

1024
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:18.119
Middle of upper sixties this afternoon,
cold front bringing showers overnight, upper forties,

1025
01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:21.880
showers tomorrow mainly through the morning,
even a few rubbles of thunder.

1026
01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:27.039
Temperatures tomorrow reaching highs and the low
to mid sixties, and then sunshine settles

1027
01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:30.000
in for the weekend, but it
will be breezy and a little colder,

1028
01:28:30.119 --> 01:28:33.359
middle fifties pose Saturday, Sunday.
All right, are you with us tomorrow?

1029
01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:36.760
I'll be back tomorrow. Alrighty,
well we'll chat then, thank you,

1030
01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:41.239
sir, all right, and we'll
come back with Joan Donagher from Bloomberg

1031
01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:45.000
News. Hang on, Joe Donagher
in today with us once again, Joan.

1032
01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:50.159
What's going on? Big wireless problems
across the US. For one thing,

1033
01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:55.199
AT and T customers as well as
Verizon and T Mobile have been affected.

1034
01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:59.279
Down Detector, says the reports continued
to rise for the last five and

1035
01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:02.760
a half hours. So AT and
T is having the worst problems. It

1036
01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:06.840
says it's working urgently to restore service. Tea Mobile says it's fine, but

1037
01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:11.479
you may be running into trouble if
you're trying to call someone on another network.

1038
01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:15.079
A shake up in Boeing's top ranks. Boeing has ousted the head of

1039
01:29:15.079 --> 01:29:18.680
its seven thirty seven Max program,
the first change since that seven thirty seven

1040
01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:25.039
Alaska air Max lost part of its
fuselage just after the new year. Regulators

1041
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:30.760
are inspecting Boeing factories for quality control. They've barred Boeing from boosting production rates

1042
01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:33.800
for the seven thirty seven Max until
the FAA is sure Boeing has a handle

1043
01:29:34.079 --> 01:29:40.479
on all those quality issues. Artificial
intelligence has been driving Wall Street and chip

1044
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:45.000
maker in vidis sales continuing to boom. The company says demand a surging worldwide

1045
01:29:45.079 --> 01:29:49.920
for the computing power that underlies AI, and Vidia says it's sales last quarter

1046
01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:55.720
more than tripled from a year earlier. And case instead of you want fries

1047
01:29:55.760 --> 01:30:00.159
with that, Pepsi wants to see
it change too, you want Dorito's with

1048
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:03.960
that? PepsiCo wants to see its
snacks become meal time staples. It is

1049
01:30:04.039 --> 01:30:09.520
now pushing at an industry conference for
its salty snacks to be used as side

1050
01:30:09.520 --> 01:30:13.239
dishes and ingredients. Now. A
Morning Star executive says, yeah, that's

1051
01:30:13.279 --> 01:30:16.199
a common Throw everything you can at
the wall and see what sticks move because

1052
01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:20.439
packaged food companies want to boost sales. They have been boosting prices for the

1053
01:30:20.520 --> 01:30:26.680
last few years and that drove revenue
up, but not actual sales. They've

1054
01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:30.119
fallen. Well, but that's already
a thing. It just depends on what

1055
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:31.760
you're eating. Like if you go
to McDonald's, they're off for you fries,

1056
01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:35.039
right, But if I go to
Subway, I just had Subway the

1057
01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:38.159
other day. I go in there, and you know, if you want

1058
01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:40.800
to do a combo it you can
get a bag of Doritos or whatever,

1059
01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:45.119
So right, all right, so
they want that to be wider. Why

1060
01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:48.600
you know, do we know anything
about what may have been causing this outage,

1061
01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:54.479
because that's what No. Yeah,
this is huge and it's it's at

1062
01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:57.279
and t is kind of frantic at
this point trying to work to solve it.

1063
01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:00.760
But they're not saying anything about what
might have called yet. So we

1064
01:31:00.760 --> 01:31:03.399
don't. I have a T and
T. My phone's fine, but Ross's

1065
01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:09.680
is screwed. Yeah, it's very
spotty, so I don't know what's going

1066
01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:13.920
on. But okay, all right, well we'll keep watching. Thank you,

1067
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:15.520
Joan, talk to you tomorrow.
Okay, talk to you tomorrow.

1068
01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:19.600
Yeah, there you go. Joan
Donagher from Bloomberg News. And then Ross,

1069
01:31:19.920 --> 01:31:23.279
Now he had a work around.
But this brings up a very good

1070
01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:27.439
point and it's something I dealt with
my phone got stolen. Right, how

1071
01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:32.199
many of you use two factor authentication
for stuff? You don't realize what a

1072
01:31:32.279 --> 01:31:36.520
hole you're into. You don't have
access to your phone or or have set

1073
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:42.000
up an alternative cause to log in. Let's see, I need it to

1074
01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:46.600
log into. I need it for
my next gen, I need it for

1075
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:51.279
my secondary VPN. If I want
to access Greensboro logs. That's another authentic

1076
01:31:51.560 --> 01:31:55.520
authentication, and you know it works
with them. So we're going to send

1077
01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:58.800
a number to your phone and you
plug it in or specifically to your number,

1078
01:31:59.439 --> 01:32:03.399
but it works only over SMS because
I tried to cheat it when my

1079
01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:08.159
phone got stolen with an old iPad
that's on the you know, on the

1080
01:32:08.199 --> 01:32:13.279
I message and I was told that
they couldn't do it, so I,

1081
01:32:13.399 --> 01:32:17.640
yeah, I didn't even I didn't
even contemplate that nightmare that people are probably

1082
01:32:17.680 --> 01:32:23.880
dealing with, or getting a free
day off as a result. You're ros

1083
01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:27.239
your problem was is you had to
work around buddy, that'll learn you.

1084
01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:30.640
Yeah. I was trying to get
into the software to record and upload the

1085
01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:32.439
podcast. Yeah, let's just signed
me out every hour, so every hour

1086
01:32:32.560 --> 01:32:36.039
to re sign in so I get
the audio to upload. And it was

1087
01:32:36.119 --> 01:32:39.439
like, hey, you need to
get the uh you know, the verification.

1088
01:32:39.479 --> 01:32:42.800
We're going to text you. Text
never came because it's only getting SOS

1089
01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:46.079
emergency numbers, right, right,
but my third use the internet based messages.

1090
01:32:46.119 --> 01:32:49.760
We'll use the network message. So
but my third backup right because you've

1091
01:32:49.800 --> 01:32:55.159
got email, which you can do. Phone was the was the landline here

1092
01:32:55.159 --> 01:32:58.039
in the studio? So that word
oh okay, yeah yeah, yeah,

1093
01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:00.640
yeah, that's uh but you know, for I mean, and that's just

1094
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:04.680
our work stuff. I you know, how many times have you verify?

1095
01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:09.960
I just what did I just verify? Oh? With changes to my iTunes

1096
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:12.199
stuff, I had to do that. I'm already thinking about how this is

1097
01:33:12.199 --> 01:33:16.159
gonna affect prep toonite like not joking, like mm hmm, because that would

1098
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:20.600
suck. Yeah, although it's Friday, we just phone it in anyway,

1099
01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:25.199
So that's a good point. Yeah, but I can't recall. I think

1100
01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:27.720
it does. Ask me when I
signed in on my laptop every night,

1101
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:31.119
I think, I think it's a
verification. I don't remember it's my work

1102
01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:33.760
laptop, so I think, so, yeah, I don't use my work

1103
01:33:33.840 --> 01:33:36.600
laptop at night. I do.
I generally do it on my iPad or

1104
01:33:36.640 --> 01:33:40.800
my yeah, my iPad. But
yeah, no, that's a good point.

1105
01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:46.279
Who the hell knows, man,
But obviously obviously that is it'll be

1106
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.560
very interesting to see what it is
and and if especially when you know,

1107
01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:55.920
you hear those stats where like China's
making literally thousands of attempts at stuff.

1108
01:33:55.960 --> 01:34:00.039
But also sometimes people are just incompetence, so like Russia wants to shootdowner satellites

1109
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:04.199
or something like EMP the space laser
news, Yeah, the Golden I think,

1110
01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:08.640
Yeah, I was speaking of satellites. I didn't land on your house

1111
01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:12.920
yesterday, did it not? Yet? Okay, all right, there's still

1112
01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:17.640
there are lots of satellites, many
in UH and many in degrading orbit as

1113
01:34:17.640 --> 01:34:23.560
we speak. So still lots to
look forward to and then real quickly,

1114
01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:29.880
a Massachusetts man was arrested with quite
the concealed weapon. According to police,

1115
01:34:30.720 --> 01:34:38.319
uh he they noticed what looked to
be evidence of like powdery or chunky white

1116
01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:41.159
substance, so you know they're thinking
crack cocaine. They were right by the

1117
01:34:41.159 --> 01:34:45.800
way. Apparently it was what they
were not prepared for. Is as they

1118
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:50.760
were removing the driver, Harvey Johnson
is his name, they found his weapon,

1119
01:34:53.039 --> 01:34:54.720
which was a rocket launcher.
