00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.679
As I pointed out yesterday, there
at the end of the show, somebody

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:10.759
sent me a little screenshot from one
of the mom's groups, which I guess

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.720
these things are a doozy. That's
what I find so funny. So because

4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:22.679
I posted this thing, and because
I'm confused, it's a mom of a

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.839
nine year old or whatever, who
was like, my daughter was so excited

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.719
she was making something for all of
her classmates, and I guess she really

7
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.479
loves Valentine's Day. And they're like, God, no, we're not gonna

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:41.960
call it that anymore. It's a
friendship Day or something, which is Look,

9
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.560
as I pointed out yesterday, not
that I'm rooting for it, but

10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:53.759
I don't understand why you would have
groups fighting tooth and nail to be able

11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:59.320
to explain to little kids all about
really really adult topics, you know,

12
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:07.400
like your ten year old, you
know, let's talk about you know.

13
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.480
This is the irony of all of
this, Like if I wanted to give

14
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.079
an actual list of what some of
these curriculums have, I would be nervous

15
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.799
to do it on the radio,
even though I could probably do it in

16
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.200
a clinical way, Like I couldn't
even get into all the ideas, So

17
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.319
you're gonna arm little kids with that
information then take away their the romantic holiday.

18
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.560
It's just, you know, I
find that a little ironic. But

19
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.799
what was funnier is I had like
four or five people go, yeah,

20
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.120
I'm in that group. It's insane. And now they've been sending me all

21
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.200
these screenshots. So well, look, people are going to go on there,

22
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.879
people are gonna have questions, People
want to have different ideas, they

23
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.239
want to debate them on. So
the question becomes not the debate of that

24
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:00.760
stuff on social media, but rather
the way that one side of that debate

25
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.920
is, you know, their comments
end up down in the additional comments.

26
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.879
Remember how it used to be on
Twitter, used to be this was you

27
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.520
know, this was just over a
year ago. What would happen. You'd

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.240
go to Twitter, You'd see a
story and every response would be the far

29
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.759
left reply unless you literally made an
effort to scroll down to the bottom and

30
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.520
click additional replies. Then you could
see some you know, balanced counterpoint kind

31
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:36.439
of stuff. So yeah, by
all means, discuss your stuff, but

32
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.520
also people people send me the funniest
stuff. And I and I'm not picking

33
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.199
on Carrie, but I had the
game. This is what Carrie apex school

34
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:52.080
moms or something. But Carrie,
some of the carry groups are just doozies.

35
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.039
I think my favorite Ross. Do
you remember the woman who was in

36
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.879
the very nice neighborhood in Carrie who
was concerned about the gangs coming in and

37
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.719
haag in or street. Yeah,
man, it was terrifying. It was

38
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.639
how do you how do you sleep
at that? You move at that point

39
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.960
you have to move, You think
you have to like where probably you probably

40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.080
don't want to be anywhere near the
source, so maybe somewhere safe, like

41
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.360
I don't like Durham or something maybe
or maybe Fayetteville get away from that.

42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.879
So yeah, it was. It
was underground locating markings and the best part

43
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.000
was as I sit here and I
remember more of this, didn't the dude

44
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.400
whose company it was called, I
think, yeah, somebody somebody or not

45
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.639
you know, called in the show
and you try to explain, like what

46
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.280
those markings actually were. Well,
of course that's what he's gonna say,

47
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.599
right when he's off mark and that
you know, he's like, ah,

48
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.800
this is where fiber optic lines are. And it's like, I don't know,

49
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.800
why are the other gangs nervous to
come to that neighborhood though, I

50
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.400
you know, maybe there's some duality
there. But yeah, yeah, that

51
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.759
was. That was right up there
with my favorite. So keep sending that

52
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.319
stuff. I won't always use it, but it was been damn entertaining.

53
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.800
Man, doesn't doesn't your wife?
She participates in those Facebook groups, right

54
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.839
like I some I there's a few
that I got. You know how you

55
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.800
can just add people? Please don't
do that right right to your to your

56
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.199
friends and your family and just drag
me and you're asked them is the polite

57
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.399
thing. But whatever, the show
will get signed up for stuff, and

58
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.600
I'll see some of that stuff,
but you know, a lot of it.

59
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.800
I got to get the spy reports, So feel free to send the

60
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.720
spy report, but don't invite me
to join your your mom's group, because

61
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.800
like it, I'll look a little
suss in there. All right, very

62
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.600
good? All right? Coming up
on the show. I you know,

63
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.000
it's been a while since I've been
to a water park. I was trying

64
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:55.199
to remember the last last water park
I was at. Humm I think maybe

65
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.519
the I the one north of Kitty
Hawk. Once you go across the inlet

66
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.240
there and you're headed up like you're
going to Virginia. There's a water park

67
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:14.279
there, but I think that's the
last one. I don't at no point

68
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:21.720
in that water park did I worry
about catching fire. I'm gonna be honest

69
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.240
with you, it's it's never been
a big concern. And I've been to

70
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.240
some I've been to the Wisconsin Dells. Some of you maybe know what that

71
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.560
is, some of you maybe don't. In the middle of Wisconsin, they

72
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.160
have what's called the Dells and it
is you got a great wolf lodges there

73
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.959
and it's just a ton of water
parks, a lot of indoor as well

74
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.040
outdoor. There's some big concerts.
You know. It's kind of a it's

75
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.800
a summary place, but it's been
transitioned to be winter two with all the

76
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:58.399
indoor stuff. And again, that
was when I lived in Minneapolis. That

77
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.680
was a huge destination, all those
nothing ball of America. Nothing. Sweden,

78
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:13.240
Yeah, something crazy video as a
raging inferno erupted at a new water

79
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:21.959
slide water water park, excuse me
in Sweden. Check this out. When

80
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:29.959
you can hear the ascension of the
flame, that's a thing that is crazy.

81
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.879
The massive blaze ripped through the yet
to be opened. So right,

82
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:40.720
the only thing they got in there
as they're getting ready is you got some

83
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.720
employees, which which is good.
Obviously, you know, there wasn't a

84
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.439
thousand people up on one of those
big risers or something. What initially caught

85
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:56.839
fire was the Oceania was this forty
three foot slide. I don't know if

86
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.600
Oceana is the name of the slide
or the park, but harrowing footage shop

87
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:08.560
by witnesses showed the slides engulfed by
flames as several fire fighting vehicles descended on

88
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.680
the area. There were at least
three explosions in the video. Like it's

89
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.639
bonkers, man, but you know, new fear unlocked, as they say

90
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:23.120
right there, like what's uh?
You know, we try to gauge possible

91
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:28.040
things that could happen, right,
what as as a parent or just as

92
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.560
somebody would use the water proer,
what are your what are your concerns?

93
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.759
Right sunburn? I guess probably that's
primary number one. I don't know Russ

94
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.560
Went's last time he went to a
water park. Oh, I kid,

95
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.920
no idea? Did you? But
not not enough to remember like twenty years

96
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.759
ago? All right? But you
really hit twenty five yeah, okay,

97
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.959
you didn't. You didn't. You
didn't concern yourself with catching on fire,

98
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.519
did you? I did not.
No drowning, sunburn, just annoying people.

99
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.879
Yet apparently this thing's not going to
open on time now, so I

100
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.360
to know, Sweden, maybe this
ain't your bag, man, like,

101
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:18.600
stick to what you're good at,
like chefs and bikini teams. Right,

102
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.199
I'm trying to remember what else Sweden's
known for. Fish? Well, yeah,

103
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.080
yeah. When I think of the
Nordic countries and you're talking about fish,

104
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.919
I think Norway, but I think
you know, they're all pretty prevalent.

105
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.840
Also, you know, having to
do with water there, so there's

106
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.720
but but you know, boats sometimes
I got it. But yeah, maybe

107
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.279
cheffing and bikini teams. Because this
ain't for you. Let's see how I

108
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.639
was trying to father there's any injuries. I've not seen anything. Yeah.

109
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.320
No, they were super efficient.
Nobody including a hotel. You're by,

110
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:07.320
hotel and office facilities all evacuated without
people stomping each other like it's a Black

111
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:15.360
Friday sales event. But crazy video
tweeted out at Casey on the radio if

112
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:16.799
you want to check it out,
all right, coming up on the show.

113
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.080
Sorry, I just had to hit
that story fresh in the mind.

114
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:26.480
At eight o five today, Senator
Ted Buddle join us. I don't expect

115
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:35.879
Ted to answer for his counterpart.
But you know, there's one thing that

116
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.720
annoys me and I've talked about here
on the show, is it's the the

117
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.320
Rubes thing right where you know,
if you if if if you, if

118
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.679
you're around some people from d C, and not just DC but elected if

119
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.000
I've been around elected officials before,
they get a little too comfortable and they

120
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.960
start getting a Rube attitude. Now, don't get me wrong, some constituents,

121
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.360
just like some radio listeners, are
dumb, just like people who go

122
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.320
and deal with whatever your business is, right, whatever business you're in.

123
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.600
We've all encountered an idiot, and
I understand that frustration. It becomes a

124
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.480
little more complex though, when one
you're an elected official, so there is

125
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.399
a different level of perceived although there
should be actual, but at least perceived

126
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:35.879
accountability. And secondly, yeah,
just because I think occasionally we get stupid

127
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.720
people that call in. Your attitude
can't be everyone who calls in, for

128
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.879
the most part, is just dumb. Although on some days it has felt

129
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.759
like that I'm sure, even you, as a passive listener, have been

130
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.919
like, what is going on today? Because I get your emails? But

131
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.759
what is what has talked about in
this story? Yeah, yesterday having to

132
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.159
do with both Senator slender Man,
excuse me, Senator Tillis and Mitch McConnell

133
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.399
is not a good look. According
to Tilli's quote, our base cannot possibly

134
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.799
know what's at stake at the level
that any well briefed US senator should know

135
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.960
about what's at stake if putin wins
Now. I don't disagree with Tom Tillis

136
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.840
there, I said it. It's
on record that people who are going to

137
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:39.480
have access to additional information, classified
information, information that's reasonably not going to

138
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.320
be in the public purview unless it's
a Trump administration. Then you know,

139
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.559
people bureaucrats will just release that stuff
where there's a little more going on.

140
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:58.080
However, once you've made a big
claim, you have to understand that the

141
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.320
people are snake bit on this stuff, whether it's you know, going back

142
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.759
to boy, you name it.
I think of all sorts of things throughout

143
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.919
political history where people don't necessarily believe
what you're saying, especially when it's really

144
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.240
high stake stuff. You just watch
everything having to do with Vietnam from Kennedy

145
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.559
through Nixon, right, depending on
papers you name it, going into how

146
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.120
a rack Afghanistan was handled, going
into all of this, people are because

147
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.720
you're what Tillis is claiming here is
an illusion, and I'd like him to

148
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.720
clarify an allusion to if Ukraine is
grabbed, Poland's next, we have to

149
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.519
do something. That's the narrative I've
seen emerging. But I haven't seen any

150
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:58.600
evidence in the form of intelligence it's
actually been released, and I understand the

151
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.679
complexities of it, but also I
haven't had it had it explained to me

152
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:11.360
right in a convincing enough manner that
Putin would go in to take Poland.

153
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.919
Now would he do it if he
thought he could get away with it?

154
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.720
That that becomes a little different,
because I think Poland is seen different,

155
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.960
especially with the emerging new government there, as different than than Ukraine. I

156
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.240
think you would see countries with actual
boots on the ground. I'm not suggesting

157
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.039
it, but Tillis, if he's
going to make that argument, I think

158
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.120
needs to explain it rather than ending
up in this story looking like he's saying,

159
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.879
look, they're all dumb they don't
know. It's not a good look,

160
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:48.960
McConnell. McConnell also quoted claiming that
opposition to this horrible bill is among

161
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:54.679
the dimmest and most short sighted views
of critics. We'll then do a better

162
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.919
job explaining it, because what you're
what you're doing is the internet meme,

163
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.399
right source, trust me, bro
and the And the problem you have is

164
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.639
nobody trusts you, and not just
him, but but all these cats with

165
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.200
some exceptions. Right, people will
pick favorites, and I'm like, God,

166
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:20.840
whatever they say is gospel, all
right, But nobody's sitting there looking

167
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.639
at the totality of lawmakers across the
spectrum and going, now, they're doing

168
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.200
a great job. No, it's
it's it's not even remotely close. If

169
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.840
you look at if you look at
positivity ratings, Uh, they've created they

170
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.360
ain't never coming back. We're just
too divided. But we're also internally divided.

171
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.480
So I don't know that that's a
good look. So uh uh so

172
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.919
we'll talk to Bud. What time
did senator, what time did we schedule

173
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.840
Slenderman for? Uh? He's yet
to me, we're not confirmed yet to

174
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.200
be working on that. Oh,
I'll let you know the second we know

175
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.480
because the only thing, correctly from
the only time he's ever shown any interest

176
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:09.440
in the show is right in the
heat of election, right, and then

177
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.279
we did what one interview and no, we did two interviews with him,

178
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.240
right, two? I think we
did two. And then I got in,

179
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.360
I got into that tiff with him
at the restaurant where I saw him

180
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.720
and he's just like ghosted. Yeah, I think we did two. So

181
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.120
you know, I have to wait
for for reelection, I guess. But

182
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.679
we'll talk to we'll talk to half
of the delegation with Ted Budd coming up

183
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:43.399
eight o five, So looking forward
to that. And this the former Dutch

184
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.679
PM story is crazy, and we
got some we got a little church debate,

185
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.440
okay, although I don't know that
it's going to be a debate,

186
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.360
but maybe it is. I don't
know. So the phone numbers, we

187
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.720
get things rolling. Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four.

188
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.639
A is Tuesday, here on your
Valentine's Eve, here on the CaCO Day

189
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:12.279
radio program. Hang on all the
update on the the Joel Osteen church shooting,

190
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:22.600
because it's bonkers. We will we
will get to that here in here

191
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.440
in just a little bit. I
was gonna do that at seven o five.

192
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:26.919
I might, I'm might leaning into
it earlier, but I got a

193
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.480
couple other things I want to do, by the way, somebody right,

194
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:37.120
two things. One, somebody pointed
out, yes, meatballs, we forgot

195
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.639
Swedish meatballs. That's a very good
point, sir, And that's at least

196
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.879
on point. Whereas other people said
army knives and chocolates and stuff. You

197
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.120
realize that's not the Sweetish, right. I mean, I'm sure they have

198
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.799
knives, and I'm sure they have
chocolate, but now you're thinking of Swiss.

199
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:04.200
But yeah, meatballs the only the
only thing keeping Ikea financially viable.

200
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:11.440
In my humble, humble opinion,
I remember the first I remember the first

201
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.599
time. This is what not not
to Charlotte Ikea. This is when I

202
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.720
lived in Minneapolis and they opened an
Ikea next to the Mall of America and

203
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:26.319
already you couldn't Chinese water torture,
bamboo shoots under the fingernails. Get me

204
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.799
to ever want to drive down to
Bloomington, which is where the Mall of

205
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.559
America is. For all of you
who hate busy shopping centers, that's the

206
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.720
king, Okay. And then they
put the ikea basically in the parking lot

207
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.480
of it. And first I was
dating at the time. She's like,

208
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.920
ah, I want to go get
some office. She was she had a

209
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.440
room in her house. She wanted
to put an office in all right,

210
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:53.119
all right, and I had I
had a tahoe at the time. She

211
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.039
had a little car. So I'm
like, here's the deal. I will

212
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:02.519
drive to the Ikea. I had
never been in an ike at that but

213
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.640
I will drive down there. I
will park, I will load crap up

214
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.960
that is in mine. However,
when we go in that store, I'm

215
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.920
going to go into the restaurant and
I'm gonna eat meatballs until you're done.

216
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.359
So if you don't want me to
be, you know, get physically sick

217
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.119
eating meatballs, I wouldn't. I
wouldn't, Doddle, okay, And I

218
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.319
remember because you go in, and
I'll try to remember the show because I've

219
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.759
been to Charlotte one once too.
But anyway, so you're going up that

220
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.960
big escalator card escalator that weird like
moving upwards walkway lake at the airport,

221
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.400
and then you get in and you
go left is the where the meatballs are,

222
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.240
and then right is where the giant
Hamster Maze that is that store is.

223
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.400
And I remember turning left and she
gives me this look like yo,

224
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.599
you're serious, and I'm like yep. So while I've been to the Ikea

225
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:57.759
in uh in Minneapolis, I've never
been past the restaurant and I think that's

226
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:06.640
uh, that's say it's a lotable
goal. So and then the Charlotte one,

227
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.079
I did have to, but to
be fair, I was buying something.

228
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.680
I needed two things, and I
did not want to be down there.

229
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.279
But yeah, I turned into a
whole fight. I was im,

230
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.839
I told you, I'm just going
to eat meatballs. Ross. Have you

231
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.079
had the ike of meatballs? It's
pretty good, man, and you can

232
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.000
just keep ordering. I never have
when that when that ike store opened,

233
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.720
when it was a Charlotte Lake forever
ago, Marquie wanted to go and I'm

234
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.079
like, I'm not driving to Charlotte
to go to a furniture store where you

235
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.079
have to put the furniture together just
for the meatballs. It is not going

236
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.200
to happen. And we were like, yeah, let's not do that.

237
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.920
Oh that's good, sounds awful.
It sounds like a horrible weekend. Yeah.

238
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.839
Yeah. And then you get the
furniture together and you get in the

239
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.119
you know, the the fight,
the fight over putting it together, because

240
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.200
everything uses a stupid Alan wrench and
it's awful. Like anytime you open up

241
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.039
anything and it's like, you know, all the pieces fall out and one

242
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.200
of the first things you see is
an Alan wrench. You know you're about

243
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:03.240
to have a good time. M
I think, yeah, I remember I

244
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.960
assembled her desk. But the deal
was I'm like, I'll assemble this.

245
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.519
You go do anything that's not this. But you're right, yeah, because

246
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.640
like you know, you try to
move something together as a couple. People

247
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.480
get in these big fights. But
I'm like, no, I told you

248
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.359
because I knew I was gonna end
up putting this together. I'm like,

249
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.799
I'm gonna eat all the meatballs.
There's nothing you can do. Back in

250
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.440
the day, the fights would start
at the blockbuster, right, You'd go

251
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.640
there and like pick out a movie
and those absolutely horrible. And now like

252
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.559
the blockbusters are close, and now
it's like, ikea, why would you

253
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.599
do that on the your weekend?
You know, you raise a good point,

254
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.720
like yeah, you could get you
could get in a horrendous couple fight

255
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.319
in a blockbuster. But I don't
know that I've ever gotten in one while

256
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:47.759
cruising to see what's on the Netflix. You know what I'm saying. So

257
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.359
I think maybe, like why why
would be more inclined to I guess maybe

258
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.680
because all the movies will still be
there. Even if the one you you

259
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.119
got got sucks, you can just
flip over to another one. I don't

260
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.960
know, but I've never had a
big Netflix fight. But yeah, Blockbusters,

261
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.359
you know why? Because women rent
stupid movies? Can I say that?

262
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.240
You know? I'm like, why
are we not in the wrestling section?

263
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.640
Yeah? They're like, oh,
it's rob Com And I'm like,

264
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.200
there's a whole isle there, and
I'm just looking at it, like like

265
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:25.319
the the it's maam game stop Psycho? Like what if I kicked the rack

266
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.160
over? Does that? But then
you realize the movies aren't really in there.

267
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000
You're not gonna do anything, and
then you're gonna end up with two

268
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:36.279
rom com so what are you gonna
do? But also, you know,

269
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:44.559
rent better movies, I guess would
be the takeaway there? All right,

270
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:53.519
what is this Boston Paul sending me
a But why why are you sending me

271
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:02.680
your reason to drink? That's this
is this is what I don't understand.

272
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.279
Okay, all right, all right, thank you. He's in the Marty

273
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:12.000
Grass spirit, all right. Eight
eight eight ninety three four seven eight seven

274
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:19.400
four. When we get over to
this, this is uh, this is

275
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:29.279
awful, man, this is awful
right here. So the former Dutch Prime

276
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:36.000
minister drees van Ach I guess is
how you pronounce that. I'm not up

277
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:41.400
on all the Dutch prime ministers current
or I mean Biden probably is. And

278
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.799
this dude's dead now so it probably
will talk to him this week. But

279
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:52.119
I just want you to like think
this, but think it through our our

280
00:22:52.240 --> 00:23:00.480
system of government, and it gets
really awkward real quick. So the former

281
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.400
Dutch Prime minister Dreez van Okt and
his wife, who were both ninety three,

282
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.559
died yesterday hand in hand. And
when you see that, at first,

283
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:18.279
you're like, that's going back to
the stupid movie selection, right.

284
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:23.799
I don't know why, but like
women love movies where the couple dies at

285
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.160
the end old holding hands. And
isn't that I'm trying remember, which isn't

286
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.359
that one of the plot points in
a movie that's very popular. It's that

287
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.119
notebook I'm trying to remember. I've
seen pieces of it, and I think

288
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.559
that's a spoiler. I think that
might be it's in one of those ones

289
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.519
that you you probably don't want to
watch. But here's where it gets really

290
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:51.599
unromantic, really quick. They didn't. It wasn't one of those where like

291
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.440
they're sitting there, they're so in
love and he passes away and then she

292
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.680
dies of a broken heart within two
twenty four hours. That's not what we're

293
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.720
talking. Even though it seems like
what they're trying to set up, they're

294
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.480
gonna Paul Harvey the rest of the
story here in just a moment, they

295
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.319
did well. They did die hand
in hand together, and that is technically

296
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:21.519
accurate. When you read down the
story, you realize they had themselves euthanized,

297
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.960
and you know how, you know
how moonbats love this whole ethanism,

298
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:34.039
euthanizing right under cover of Look,
if somebody's got, you know, a

299
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.880
horrific disease for which there is no
cure and they find themselves in pain,

300
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.799
why should the government stand in their
way of you know, taking that out.

301
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.119
And you know, you can process
it through religion, you can process

302
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.759
it through a variety of things,
but ultimately, if you're you know,

303
00:24:52.920 --> 00:25:00.039
limited government. Should you know,
if that guy wants to do that,

304
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.480
you don't have to agree with it. You can be concerned for their soul,

305
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.319
you can all of those things.
But like in countries where they actually

306
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.480
get this rolling, it's like they
have to keep figuring out how to add

307
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.440
new customers. And that's where this
gets weird. Like up in Canada,

308
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.279
I don't know if they've passed this
yet, but some they do have some

309
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.519
semblance of when kids can be euthanized. And I saw the numbers. The

310
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:33.039
amount of Canadians that were signing up
for this keeps growing, and you know,

311
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:40.160
sometimes it's for really reasons that you
wouldn't think would be on the list.

312
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.079
And to some extent, where the
complexities lie is when you either get

313
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:52.119
the government involved in like regulating the
Kavorkian clinics of the world or promoting it.

314
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.079
It feels like in some instance,
but if you're one of these,

315
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.480
you know, these big world government
moon bats who convinced yourself that we are

316
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:07.759
the plague, then I I understand, uh, why why you may be

317
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.920
drawn to this. But then I
started thinking, like, can you imagine

318
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.000
remember that photo of the Carters from
what the last two years ago where it's

319
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.680
the Carters and the Bidens and they're
all and it looks like a weird optical

320
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:30.440
illusion because the Carters look like little
people and it's it's it's a it's a

321
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.519
perspective thing. But also the Carters
were not big and the Bidens are tall.

322
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:41.799
Okay, this is just based on
the age. This is like if

323
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.240
there was a news report that that
the Carters decided to go and uh and

324
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.720
have a suicide pact. That's that's
a kin to what what's going on here.

325
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.920
And I don't know why, but
it gets far creepier like that.

326
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.119
Now I did see people. Well, look if I had to put a

327
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.559
list together a politics and I understand
what you're driving at, but you know,

328
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:11.839
try to be adults here. They
had been both suffering from deteriorating health

329
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:22.400
before some time, including cognitive issues. M DUO euthanasia or two people receiving

330
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:29.759
the injection simultaneously, while still relatively
rare in the Netherlands, is slowly gaining

331
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:37.279
more popularity. Let's see here last
year how many they have last year twenty

332
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:44.319
twenty two couples. I got a
question, how do you keep them honest?

333
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.279
Can I just can I can I
just go a little dark here for

334
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:56.119
a moment, Like how do you
like you go in? Are you sharing

335
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:03.640
the same IV? So there's no
question there? Or like what was that

336
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.240
stupid Matt Damon movie that came out
a few years ago where they were shrinking

337
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:14.079
people like you could like the whole
premise was where you could be shrunk down

338
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.839
to be like, you know,
dollhouse size. I'd never watched it because

339
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:23.720
it looked incredibly stupid, but I
think I did read the synopsis of it,

340
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:29.920
and I think in that movie,
like his character and his girlfriend or

341
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.319
wife or whoever it was, they
were gonna do it together, and so

342
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.640
they showed up and he walked into
whatever first and she's like, oh no,

343
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:42.319
that looks like that. That didn't
look like fun. So like if

344
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.440
you show up down there, you're
like, you know what, why don't

345
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:52.519
you go first? I'll be along
shortly. And then you watch that like

346
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.799
if you've starready signed the papers,
like do they let you out change your

347
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.240
mind? I don't know how it
works. This is why this thing is

348
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:07.200
so dark. And then my weird
early morning brain just starts breaking down all

349
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:12.240
these scenarios, like would you have
liability there? I don't know. I

350
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.160
also, what do you do You
go back to the house or your family's

351
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.880
packing up all the stuff, and
then only one of you comes back and

352
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:26.079
you're like, so, so something
came up. The Dutch royal family praised

353
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:34.559
the former Prime minister for his time
in service with administrative responsibility for turbulent times

354
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:45.279
people are making Canada jokes now anyway, but also for making the tough decision.

355
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:52.559
All right, well maybe that's I
don't know, maybe more former politicians

356
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.799
need to look into the Dutch model. At least then they won't be showing

357
00:29:55.839 --> 00:30:00.240
up in Davos still trying to run
my life as unelected idiots. All right,

358
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.680
six forty eight, Hang on,
somebody's taken an old child molester looking

359
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.720
van and let's just say they gave
it an upgrade. You want to go

360
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:15.000
check out the gun van. Scroll
down on Twitter at Casey on the radio,

361
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.200
the dudes and they're out at the
range with this thing, driving at

362
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.480
the berm with the targets up.
It's pretty funny. So and it's funny

363
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.079
to watch people who don't think it's
funny, which is always funny around those

364
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:36.400
things. So that's one. Also, an Indonesian soccer player. This video's

365
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:42.039
out there. So this was a
big match. Let's see. I don't

366
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.240
know what is their I'm trying to
think what their league is called. There.

367
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:51.160
It doesn't matter ross obviously, you
and I big fans of the Indonesian

368
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:55.119
Premier Soccer League. This is normally
what we talk about off the air.

369
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.119
I can't remember who you were rooting
for in their big super Bowl game?

370
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:08.920
Was it? Was it the FBI
Sue Bang? Or are you more of

371
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:15.079
an FC bum Dung uh enthusiast?
Uh? Do you have a preference?

372
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.839
I was just to see both of
them make it to this event. So

373
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.599
are you know? I'm really I'm
I'm I'm conflicted here because you know I'm

374
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:29.319
a fan of uh Sue Bang?
Oh yeah? But bum oh my god?

375
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.519
Yeah? I mean what what what
is there that hasn't been said about?

376
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:40.240
Yeah? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
yeah. Well sadly uh Septeine Raharji?

377
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.960
Who does he? Does he play
for bum Dung or Sue Bang?

378
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:51.519
I don't know anyway, the thirty
five year old is you know, the

379
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.839
match is going on and then all
of a sudden you just see it.

380
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.200
You see that lightning bolt come down
and uh and hit this dude the thirty

381
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.839
five year old train to the hospital. Unfortunately the damage was done and he

382
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:10.400
did pass away. Oh he was
on Subang. So I was gonna ask

383
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.839
if you had powers now, but
I guess not. No, no,

384
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.480
because that sounds like it could be
an origin story. No, it does,

385
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:24.640
absolutely, but but not in modern
comics though, I mean, because

386
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:29.640
that's a dude. Fine Tuesday morning, coming up on the show one hour

387
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:34.799
from now, Senator Ted Buddle join
us, and you can bet we're going

388
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:38.039
to get into that god awful bill
and a few other things. We chat

389
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:45.519
with the Senator because they ain't done. They ain't done with that. That's

390
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.200
not the it's just a matter of
seeing what they come up with next.

391
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:55.680
And uh, you know, feasibly
over in the Senate. Over in the

392
00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:01.039
Senate, you know you should have
the split the going on if you especially

393
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:04.920
if you can pull one of the
one of the two, the mansion or

394
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:09.680
the cinema. So so we'll we'll
see with that. Over in the house.

395
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.480
Who the hell knows. I did
think it was funny, though,

396
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.960
a little funny when they were trying
to impeach may Orcus that the other day,

397
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.480
and it was what two fifteen to
two fifteen, right, and George,

398
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.640
that that psycho from New York,
George Santos, who again I can

399
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.039
think he's a psycho, but if
you're gonna not throw people out like Cory

400
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.920
Bush or Elon Omar or others,
and then you throw that dude out.

401
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:38.359
And he just wrote miss me yet, referencing that he would have been two

402
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.839
sixteen. So so you know,
that's its own mess over there. But

403
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:50.680
we'll get into it. But first
Texas, so as as the weekend came

404
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.759
to a close, even with a
tension going, you know, to the

405
00:33:52.799 --> 00:34:00.680
Super Bowl, no doubt, on
Sunday people heard the story a shooter entering

406
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:08.800
Joel Ostein's megachurch down in Houston and
a child, a child being shot.

407
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:12.079
I mean, I'm trying to remember
how the initial report it was, because

408
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.440
there's things we know now that we
didn't know. But basically, a woman

409
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:20.840
with a long gun came into the
church during the Spanish language service and the

410
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:25.480
child was shot, and then another
man who was shot. But more importantly,

411
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.960
you rolled into a church in Texas, ma'am sir, which we'll figure

412
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:43.000
out here in a moment. That's
not the state to do it not the

413
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:52.880
state to do it, as the
woman was quickly taken down by two off

414
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:59.440
duty police officers who were at the
church working in a security capacity. But

415
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:07.400
yeah, that that didn't last very
long. Then this story picked up steam.

416
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.880
So initially there were reports that the
individual and I'm not going to get

417
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:20.400
into names here, the individual had
actually attended the church in some capacity I

418
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:29.079
don't know, as the regular worshipers
or what. But there was a lot

419
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:34.840
more history as well. Specifically,
as they started digging into the background of

420
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:44.880
this individual, who authorities identified as
a thirty six year old woman, stuff

421
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:51.960
started popping up on the Internet where
instead of what is that, let's go

422
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.360
with the first name Genes Genesi,
I guess it would be Genesa. Genessa

423
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:06.159
didn't always go by genessay, didn't
always go by female identifying stuff Specifically,

424
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:13.679
the individual actually would use a man's
name as well. It doesn't sound like

425
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.880
they identify. This is where it
gets so stupid with this audio I'm gonna

426
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:22.360
play you. It doesn't say whether
they identified or specifically any instances where they

427
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:30.280
identified then as a with different pronouns, but it's abundantly clear that this individual

428
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:36.599
was trying to present as male.
So you have the transgender angle there.

429
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:44.239
You also have the political angle as
they started diving into the background. I'll

430
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.599
take it for what it's worth,
but there seems to be an affinity there

431
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:51.760
for Bernie Sanders. Now that Bernie
Sanders make that person go and shoot up

432
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:59.159
Joel's attempt to shoot up I should
say Joel Ostein's church. No, however,

433
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:02.719
not as not on an individual basis. But there's a lot of debate

434
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:10.679
going on right now over the you
know, the the immediate recency of gender

435
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:22.880
dysphoria and gender identity disorder being not
a clinical identifiable thing for which here's how

436
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:24.920
you treat it. And by the
way, you need to look for other

437
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:30.559
things that go hand in hand with
this and statistically significant cases such as depression,

438
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:37.920
such as potential suicide connected to it, which is a stat that within

439
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:44.960
the transgender community is on par with
what's this bench. Burro uses the example

440
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:52.880
of German Jews in the early forties. It's a staggering suicide rate and one

441
00:37:52.960 --> 00:38:01.519
that is statistically not is not statistically
different pre or postop. So the debate

442
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:08.239
yesterday was once you tell an individual
who they believe, and many people believe

443
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:15.920
needs psychiatric care right to address all
of this once you tell them they're fine

444
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:22.039
and it's everybody else it's the problem. Some are wondering if that's contributory.

445
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:29.559
And for a media cycle that loves
to, you know, have panel debates

446
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:37.960
over whether Sarah Palin's campaign flyer with
targeted districts was some sort of driving force

447
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:45.239
to mass shootings, they don't seem
to want to entertain that conversation. Also,

448
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:52.039
the firearm that was used, by
the way, I don't. I

449
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.840
don't choose to decal and logo my
firearms. I know a lot of people

450
00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:01.679
do. They'll get engravings, and
especially if you're into an ar platform of

451
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:06.480
some sort, you know, you
can buy. It's all about customization anyway,

452
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:10.400
so you can get some It's some
crazy stuff, you know, in

453
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:16.199
a fine way. But I'm not
super familiar with like this, like the

454
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:24.280
can I tinfoil have for just a
moment, how many recent you know,

455
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:32.079
national profile incidents where somebody decided that
they were going to do something dastardly or

456
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:39.199
deadly or or whatever it may be, where immediately we just have to look

457
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:45.480
to their firearm because it's all logoed
up as some sort of like avatar indicator

458
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.679
of their politics. Right, wasn't
that the thing down in Florida with the

459
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.920
guy who went into the what did
he do? He went into the porn

460
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.519
shops? Right like his was gun? And then the one whose parents released

461
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:02.280
his manifesto in about sixteen seconds in
the Panhandle there that gun was decaled,

462
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:09.760
logoed up. What was the Hispanic
white nationalist down in San Antonio? Well,

463
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:15.360
in this case, according to authorities, the firearm used in this incident,

464
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:22.719
an incident described as a long gun, included a pro Gaza patch on

465
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:31.159
the firearm. Let's see here.
And with all of this known, the

466
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:36.000
police in Houston decide they're going to
hold a press conference, which I think

467
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:39.039
the way that you open that is, Hey, do you want to walk

468
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:43.000
into a Texas church? Do you
think you're going to do something? Think

469
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:49.039
again? Which is probable, it's
a good deterrent. But when it's time

470
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.159
now just to learn the facts,
like what may have motivated this person?

471
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.800
Did they have you mentioned that they
had had a relationship that they have specific

472
00:40:54.840 --> 00:41:00.800
beef with somebody at the church?
Did they go and they the way that

473
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.599
they identified themselves was no longer comporting
with some of the teachings that they were

474
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.400
hearing, and now that they've been
told, everyone else is the problem.

475
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:15.400
I don't know, but this is
how Houston Police is spending their time on

476
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:21.639
the investigation. She has utilized both
male and female names, but through all

477
00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:25.639
of our investigation to this point,
talking with individuals, interviews, documents,

478
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:32.280
Houston Police Department reports, she has
been identified this entire time as female.

479
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:39.159
She her good and so we are
identifying her as Jensen moreno, Hispanic female.

480
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:44.039
Why did I understand You're asked the
question, so it's not totally on

481
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:50.440
you. Why are we spending a
moment on this. Why are we explain

482
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.519
to me why you think that this
individual went in and shot up the church?

483
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.599
I understand. Look, I understand
this as part of the larger conversation.

484
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.159
But for police it should just be
like, because this person's dead,

485
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:06.880
they don't have pronouns right now.
Okay, I mean they do, but

486
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:14.920
there their feelings will never be hurt
hearing the other one again? So what

487
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:24.920
are we doing? Goes on in
the article this from this New York Post,

488
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:31.960
But they're quoting some local media here. A significant previous arrest records,

489
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.239
some violence, some not. Uh, this individual actually came from El Salvador,

490
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:45.199
And some people are wondering, based
on the booking photo and the classification

491
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:55.039
as to whether this person was identified
as white non Hispanic, right, because

492
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:59.960
remember Hispanics and whites get thrown into
one group for a lot of categorizing,

493
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.239
and then they have this further breakdown, and I saw people scratching their head.

494
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:08.719
Although I've seen two versions of the
idea, because you can go on

495
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:15.039
the Texas site and then there's the
actual booking stuff, and there's two different

496
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:19.599
there's two different descriptors, and so
I don't know if one was an initial

497
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:22.639
classification. But even if it was, how do you take somebody into Spanish

498
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:34.280
language service who's from El Salvador and
mark them as white non Hispanic And it

499
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.400
looks like it is correct now on
the state site. But yeah, it

500
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:45.199
was just a weird day. Let's
see, oh and here we go.

501
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:51.440
Police also said that the shooter had
penned anti Semitic writings some about the river

502
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.719
to the sea. So I don't
know if that's buffalo by you to the

503
00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:00.679
you know, Galveston. Sorry,
it's the only geographic things I can think

504
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:05.000
of about Houston. Oh it's hot
there too, and the traffic sucks.

505
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:09.760
Authorities now believe that there may have
been a familial dispute, so some sort

506
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:17.079
of family beef between the shooter's ex
husband and family, some of which are

507
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:27.159
Jewish, so we believe there might
that might be where the stems from.

508
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:32.199
Sent investigator hasseg but we're delving into
it more. Officials say that an AR

509
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:39.320
fifteen rifle was used, and also
they were in possession of a twenty two

510
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:42.880
caliber rifle, but it was not
used. It was in a bag.

511
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:53.239
According to ABC News, authorities say
that free Palestine. Okay, all right,

512
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.760
So just because I want to be
abundantly clear here, so the initial

513
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:02.159
reporting was that the gun said free
Palestine. However the rifle's butt plate just

514
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:10.400
read Palestine. But then he coupled
out with their writings online and I don't

515
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:19.559
think they mean Palestine, Texas or
East Palestine, Ohio, which obviously ended

516
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.760
up on the news for their own
little train thing there. Please say.

517
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:30.639
The shooter died from injuries, and
as she was dying reportedly poured an unknown

518
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:37.360
substance on the floor and told officers
that there was a bomb, so that

519
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:40.559
that complicated how they went about investigating
and reporting on this because then they had

520
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:45.480
to evacuate and I guess get the
sniffer dogs in there, and it was

521
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.880
a whole thing. Hours after the
shooting, FBI agents and other law enforcement

522
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:57.480
searched the home in Conrod, Texas. Word he said that reasonably that there

523
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.639
were more guns, anim or explosives
inside, but didn't say necessarily what they

524
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.719
pulled out of there. This is
crazy. So I'm just going to status

525
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:09.599
here. The church founded by Ostein's
late father is attended by forty five thousand

526
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:15.440
people weekly and it's, by the
way, that's only the third largest megachurch

527
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:20.599
in America. By the way,
what is up with these megachurches? Man?

528
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.719
I And I mean this purely in
a discussionary way. I mean because

529
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:29.280
that look, that's gonna be somebody's
jam, but others are gonna, I

530
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.280
don't know, they're gonna crave smaller, more intimate. Obviously, there's gonna

531
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:38.400
be a delineation of faiths. Somebody
who's raised in the Catholic Church, I

532
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:45.559
don't remember ever attending Mass or any
sort of church event where a tank might

533
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:50.239
roll out like that amazing video that
we had a few months ago where they

534
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.159
were literally driving a tank through an
arena and they're like, no, that's

535
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:58.519
a men's What was It was a
men's a Christian men's organization like national gathering,

536
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.800
and it looked like it looked like
the Mad Max movie update. It

537
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:09.000
was amazing. So, look,
I understand, and especially when you live

538
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:15.000
in a society with tragically small attention
spans, why that may be a thing.

539
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:20.440
But is it enjoyable? I mean, we got a couple of big,

540
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.280
big church. What's the one on
Capital Boulevard. I have a few

541
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:30.760
friends to go to that, that
big beast, it's Capital and and they've

542
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:32.840
invited me over to it, but
I'm just like, I don't want to

543
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:36.440
go. I don't feel I don't
want to go to a church with thousands

544
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.320
of people. But that's just a
look, that's just a personal thing.

545
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:44.840
But I feel like the reason I'm
bringing this up is because we're going to

546
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:49.679
transition now into another story having to
do with the church and what they were

547
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:54.480
doing on Sunday, and uh why
that's raised some eyebrows, But it's like,

548
00:47:54.840 --> 00:48:00.039
don't you eventually get into where there's
a competition. Because I watch video

549
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:05.440
not just this church, but several
others where these megachurches like they were all

550
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.880
in on Super Bowl. And I
understand embracing, you know, current culture

551
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:16.760
and bringing a religious practical view of
that to individuals. But it's like it's

552
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:22.960
like a circus thing, man.
So wait, wait to hear what some

553
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.039
pastor there were. I guess it
was almost like a game show within a

554
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.400
church. But now folks have some
questions and we'll get into that story.

555
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:36.079
Plus Senator Ted Budd eight oh five, all coming up here on the CaCO

556
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:42.000
Day Radio program. I am not
an ordained anything, okay, So I

557
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:49.079
will view church things through the lens
of church experience. Somebody who was raised

558
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:55.760
in a Catholic household, uh uh, you know, went to uh left

559
00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.320
the Catholic church and that's the whole
thing. But but you know, within

560
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.000
the Christian faith and and variations thereof
that's that's what I can view through.

561
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:10.400
However, you know, uh,
Catholicism that you know, the joke is

562
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:21.199
right, Uh, if you you're
you're imbued with a guilt complex, which

563
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:25.039
you know, I understand joking about
that to some extent. That's that's religion

564
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.960
in general. When you're a kid
and you're just trying to figure things out.

565
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:36.800
But you know, eventually you get
into uh within Catholicism, uh when

566
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.920
you when you start getting older,
you get into Catechism and you start learning

567
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:45.760
about the tenets of the Church and
it's a whole process and then you can

568
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:47.760
communion and all that. And it
doesn't matter whether you're Catholic or not.

569
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:53.679
Every church has its processes and and
and different things there. And I remember

570
00:49:53.719 --> 00:50:00.719
as a kid, one of the
cringiest things was some of the that that

571
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:06.400
that we would watch where it was
it was the Catholic church, but it

572
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.400
was the church trying to you know. It was it was the hey kids,

573
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.519
we're cool. You're cool, and
this is cool and and as a

574
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.599
kid, right, you're just anti
authoritarianism, and it's just you're looking at

575
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:23.639
it going, oh man, and
it becomes that meme with was it who

576
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.679
is it Schneider? With this?
No, is it Rob Schneider. No,

577
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.440
it's right. It's the bumy meme
where he's like, hey, fellow

578
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:36.800
kids. But that is what it
is. And you know, the takeaway

579
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.760
for me on that stuff when it
comes to church is yeah, you can

580
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:47.199
make all those jokes, but ultimately
it's also how do I please call and

581
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:54.199
disagree with me if you want.
Faith isn't supposed to be easy and and

582
00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.159
church isn't supposed to be easy,
but that doesn't mean you can't make it

583
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:06.599
welcoming. But at the end of
the day, ultimately with the within the

584
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:13.960
Christian denominations, I understand kind of
the Catholic message that I got grown.

585
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:16.400
I went to Catholic school for a
while too, so it was that was

586
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:23.599
the whole thing, and that is
Look, not all aspects of going to

587
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:30.599
church and you know, not sitting
and doing good things and being a good

588
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:36.159
community member and helping people in the
It's not all of this is sunshine and

589
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.440
unicorns. Man. But if you
think this is tough, wait to hear

590
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:45.400
what this guy did for you,
right, he had a much worse day

591
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.079
than you're going to be having running
around doing food deliveries or whatever. And

592
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:54.840
it is through those acts that people
can still find joy, but recognize that

593
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.920
there is a certain tedious nature to
it, and that is something that some

594
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:05.239
people will find off putting, especially
in a society that's all about main character

595
00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:09.039
syndrome, because it's really, look, you can't if you're in a church

596
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:14.159
and you're the main character, then
I think you're misunderstanding what you're there for

597
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:20.840
because they kind of have a main
character or three, depending on you know,

598
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:25.440
how you look at it. But
so I'm I I understand why churches

599
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:34.159
try to make things more entertaining,
more palatable. I get it one hundred

600
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.119
percent. This is one of the
things that people complain about on this show

601
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:38.480
is they want us to do do
politics all the time, and you guys

602
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:42.920
are talking about this other stuff.
And my argument is, look, I

603
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.119
do a medium where we're going to
talk about whatever we find entertaining, amusing

604
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:52.679
any of that, and inevitably there's
going to be stories in there. And

605
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:58.039
if I've got somebody listening because they
want to hear about the naked Florida woman

606
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:01.159
with the potato peeler the other day, and then from there I transition to

607
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:08.519
a story that I'm providing opinion on
that has you know, real political consequence,

608
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:15.280
then perhaps people who find themselves not
very partisan or you know, really

609
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:19.119
into the politics, they may be
inspired by what they hear see take the

610
00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:22.199
good with the bad. But man, I look at some of these megachurches

611
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:29.079
and it's crazy. Now the men's
Christian Christian men's group gathering with the you

612
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:32.000
know with the tank and stuff.
That's that's a bigger thing. But if

613
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:37.679
that's a weekly thing, does anybody
here go to a big, big megachurch?

614
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:45.199
And what is the appeal over the
smaller church? Obviously the pyrotechnics seem

615
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:50.639
vastly superior to what I remember at
the church in Buffalo, Wyoming, we

616
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:55.119
did not have pyrotechnics. But at
what point are is it still about the

617
00:53:55.199 --> 00:54:00.960
message? That's what I ask.
And I'm not getting into things with like,

618
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:05.239
you know, pastors who need you
to help them upgrade their jet and

619
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:12.559
all that, but like I don't
know how and I should Should I be

620
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.280
showing up to church to uh,
you know, to grow spiritually or because

621
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.880
I want to see little people on
a motorcycle in one of those death cages

622
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:25.519
for for the Lord? Right?
This is this is the stuff. So

623
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:28.880
when I see these videos, I'm
like, holy crap, And don't think

624
00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:30.840
of it. Say if that's how
you want to go to church, I

625
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:35.920
don't care. I just recognize it's
not gonna be for everybody. And and

626
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:40.320
and then it's as you you keep
having to one up yourself, you turn

627
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:45.440
into you get this story. This
is in Ohio. Sorry, it was

628
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:49.840
such a long setup. But I
people get very sensitive about this. This

629
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:59.400
is an Ohio megachurch. Oh wait
to say? Is that a woke word?

630
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:05.480
Or is that that actually what they
so confused? Pastrix? Is that

631
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:08.039
what we call female pastor? Is
that like latinix? You know what?

632
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:15.599
I don't care. Ohio Megachurch Pastrick
Ali Patterson as part of a super Bowl

633
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.880
themed church service. And I've seen
a few videos of different ones, and

634
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.679
one of them does have motorcycles in
the the Rolye cage, So it's I

635
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:28.960
didn't just pull that up for nothing. They were having a little bit of

636
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:30.480
like a little on like a game
show, like if you ever go on

637
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:34.280
a cruise and they're doing one of
those stage game shows kind of looks like

638
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:39.880
that. Okay, And it's football
themed. And so her and the this

639
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:45.159
other pastor she's in competition with,
they decide that they're gonna, oh,

640
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:49.320
they're gonna have a field goal,
you know, kicking stuff. Well,

641
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.920
that's good, right, that's definitely
football themed. How how are you going

642
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:58.480
to work that into a into a
church setting? Please demonstrate call it when

643
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:06.119
it lands, call it in costing
the coin. Okay it Yeah, let's

644
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:09.159
just go with tails would you like
to kick or receive the Bible? Well,

645
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:16.599
I'm sorry the what so you want
you want to kick or received?

646
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:21.920
He obviously he meant to say ball, right, ball? Bible is supposed

647
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:24.480
to start with the bee, obviously, because right the other thing would be

648
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:29.239
insane? Right, Tom, when's
the toss? Chooses to receive the Bible?

649
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:36.440
Patterson? Why is there a Bible
on a tea? Oh? My

650
00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:38.280
gun? She got a leg?
By the way, is that a touchback?

651
00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:43.639
Can you get a touch Baptist time? In eighteen years? There's a

652
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:51.000
touchback for the kickoffs? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now,

653
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.320
ask yourself if you went to church
this Sunday and you know, one

654
00:56:54.360 --> 00:57:00.559
of the the worship leaders or your
pastor whoever it is, decided that,

655
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:05.239
uh, they're gonna get a Kickers
tea, put the King James on there

656
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.000
and then kick it into the crowd
like it's a T shirt. Gun?

657
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:14.679
Is that normal? This again?
This is why I'm asking people? Or

658
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.000
would some people probably be like,
yeah, I don't know, because I

659
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:21.440
you know, I gotta say this. There's only so much stuff you can

660
00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:28.800
take reverence off of. You know, there's a there's if if you if

661
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.039
in the Bible. They literally have
they have almost an entire book just telling

662
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:36.519
you about who's supposed to do what, the families are supposed to do it,

663
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.119
and uh, you know, but
basically the message is, hey,

664
00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:45.679
all of this stuff that's part of
the religious side of us, you know,

665
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:50.079
the the the relics, and the
artifacts and the and the scriptures and

666
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:54.119
and the scrolls and all of that. Like they were they were deemed so

667
00:57:54.280 --> 00:58:01.119
important and so reverent that there's biblical
and instructions on how they're supposed to be

668
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:08.119
respected and treated and like, not
that long ago, you know, people

669
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:10.360
were like, ah, I shouldn't
look into the arc of the Covenant.

670
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:14.039
Ross have you ever seen what happens
somebody looks in the arc of the Covenant,

671
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:20.480
But it doesn't go well, especially
if you're a Nazi. From from

672
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:23.519
what I've seen, and now they're
like, I'm gonna kick some Bibles and

673
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:28.800
and by the way, uh probably
what do you say she got probably twenty

674
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.960
yards on that twenty thirty yards.
It doesn't look like the first time she's

675
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:37.639
kicked the Bible anyway. Seven forty
six Race Stagic from the Weather Channel.

676
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:47.239
Yes, sir, okay, one
of my you know, we still you

677
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:52.239
good, cause yeah, we're good. How about you? Yeah? Did

678
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:57.679
you? Okay? Yeah, it
was alright, it was alright, uh

679
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:01.559
huh, how about you? I
was fine. I didn't have anyone hijacked

680
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:09.519
my Super Bowl view party so for
Taylor Swift themed items so named yeah yeah,

681
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:13.360
yeah, yep, well they did
and it was amazing too. It's

682
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:16.199
like every next thing, you know, the halftime show was over and everybody

683
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:21.360
left, and I was left standing
there all by myself with all those how

684
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:25.360
do people do that? Well,
the firs stand. We got the hours

685
00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:30.480
that are different, but right,
yeah, I mean left it all the

686
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:36.039
Taylor Swift tater tots and all the
other good bunchies, and I just opened

687
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.760
the bag and threw it all out. So you got a little trouble for

688
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:43.239
that. But what are you gonna
do? Well, take tater tots and

689
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:45.480
you know, yeah, I know
you can put them back in the air

690
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:51.039
fry and all that stuff. But
right, they're not real good, definitely

691
00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:55.079
not. No. You know we
didn't actually get into the karaoke, did

692
00:59:57.079 --> 00:59:58.960
Yeah. I was glad that we
did. We did. You know,

693
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.679
they wanted to hear a couple bull
of Taylor Swift songs. We had to

694
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:06.880
do our red solo cup shot to
memory of Toby Keith all the guys.

695
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:08.239
So we did that and then you
know, the game was kind of boring,

696
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:12.679
so it was a lot of a
lot of talking and socializing and I

697
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:15.679
managed to get on the chair watch
the second half and most of the second

698
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:20.360
half. I did actually wake up
for the second part of the fourth quarter

699
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:25.599
in the overtime. So yeah,
watch your Boy basically ruined the end of

700
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:30.760
the game. So which one was
that Romo had no one to shut up?

701
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:35.360
Man? Oh? Yeah, he's
really gotten a little bit more than

702
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:39.440
yeah. But anyway, so what's
going on. That's okay. Yeah,

703
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:44.719
we're looking pretty good. Yeah,
better, milder, wet weather's now off

704
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:47.000
the East coast, storm going up
the East coast, and we're into mid

705
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:52.280
and upper fifties today. Still a
little cloud hanging around for the triangle east,

706
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:54.960
so if you see some clouds,
they won't be around too much longer.

707
01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:59.519
Tonight we will clear a little bit
thirty, so certainly jackets tomorrow morning

708
01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:02.360
and then mid upper fifties again in
the afternoon, even milder by Thursday,

709
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:07.559
lit to mid sixties before another front
comes in, but still only slightly cooler

710
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:10.519
for Friday and Saturday, mid to
upper fifties, and the next chance showers

711
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:15.039
in here Saturday, a little chillier
by Sunday, but over the next few

712
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:17.039
days that really pretty quiet. Night's
warm up Thursday. It's beautiful actually,

713
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:21.320
if I want to get a head
start on the spring golf game, as

714
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.840
we'll be in the sixties and well
into the sixties with the gusty breeze,

715
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:28.599
so best day of the week will
be. Then the days around it not

716
01:01:28.599 --> 01:01:30.880
too bad either, especially as we
get into the middle of February. So

717
01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:35.960
yeah, it's not too crazy out
there. Casey, all right, Well,

718
01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:38.360
I'm sure you'll think of something,
so yeah, yeah, something muster

719
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.920
up late in the month or yeah, absolutely, all right, Well we'll

720
01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:45.400
look forward to that. We'll talk
in an hour. Thanks. Okay,

721
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.719
all right, there you got race
stagic from the Weather Channel. I thought

722
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.559
we were. Oh, by the
way, I'm curious your calls on the

723
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:57.440
if you want to comment on the
church thing, like, I'm just surprised

724
01:01:57.440 --> 01:02:00.199
at a giant church when people are
kicking bibles for distance that I don't see

725
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:05.960
anybody walking out in the video,
so and I get maybe that surprised me,

726
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:08.679
uh, just a little all right, so weigh in if you want

727
01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:13.480
eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four hang on. Uh.

728
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:16.719
People go to megachurches because they you
know, they they like the energy,

729
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:21.360
they're more engaging, all of that. And again, I got no problem

730
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:27.559
with megachurches. I got a problem
with creepy men of God telling me that

731
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:34.199
they're G six or they're G five
meets upgraded to a G six and I'll

732
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.480
you know, I'll laugh in South
Park, Moxham. But in reality,

733
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:39.320
if that's where you're getting it,
fine. The point that I was making

734
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:43.039
in this, let me piggyback on
an email. We'll grab a call here

735
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:50.159
is casey, Perhaps churches are training
are changing because people found them, and

736
01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:55.000
I think they haven't met stuff.
You're stifling here and unapproachable and and this

737
01:02:55.159 --> 01:03:02.119
is and that's fine. Yes,
Look, go to a Latin mass.

738
01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:06.679
Right. As a kid, you're
like, what is going on? Man?

739
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.159
And we would go It's the holidays. You always go to the Latin

740
01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:13.199
mass, right, grandmother liked to
go. And I'm just like, I

741
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:17.559
don't know what's got but you kind
of know because it's still follows the basic

742
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:27.480
process of Catholic mass but at what
point in your if you remove every objection

743
01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:35.639
that people have to attending church and
you remove the mystique from it, right?

744
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.199
You know, part of it is, especially within the Christian faith,

745
01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:47.559
is recognizing that, like what would
be alluring about a god or a deity

746
01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:53.119
if they were just you another you? You know what I'm saying, right,

747
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:57.079
there has to be the mystique,
and with the mystique comes to the

748
01:03:57.119 --> 01:04:00.280
respect and the all of that.
So you can remove stuff. But once,

749
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:05.400
uh, there was a quote unquote
Christian Church. I remember we did

750
01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:12.159
a story of where they decided that
Jesus was just a man. And I'm

751
01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:15.960
like, well, now you're into
the you're into Islam, you're into Judaism,

752
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:20.599
right with recognition of prophet versus uh, you know, actual son of

753
01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:26.320
God. Like, so now you've
removed what is a basic tenet of the

754
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:29.920
religion because you wanted to be more
welcoming and now it's like, well,

755
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:34.679
now you're not the religion you purport
to be like. And you know,

756
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:39.360
there's a there's a big difference between
hey, we're not gonna burn witches anymore

757
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:47.079
versus the recognition of the person whose
name is on the religion Christianity. All

758
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:50.519
right, I got a lot of
questions, and I'm so glad we are

759
01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:55.960
chatting with this gentleman today. It
is US Senator for North Carolina, Ted

760
01:04:56.079 --> 01:05:00.639
Budd. How you doing today,
sir? Taking doing great? Not pleased

761
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:03.480
with the outcome this morning, but
yet here we are. I don't worry.

762
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:10.239
You know right where I was going? All right? All nighter his

763
01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:15.079
way it's described. I don't know
the exact hours. How on God's green

764
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:21.199
earth do you guys work all night
in essentially a split Senate chamber? And

765
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:27.400
somehow rather than that steam and piece
of crap you said you would vote against

766
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:30.239
here a week ago, which was
like a little bit for the border but

767
01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:35.119
not really anything new. And then
all that money, how does that debate

768
01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:42.199
turn into last night? Ninety five
billion being voted by what was it,

769
01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:47.480
seventy to twenty nine in the Senate
for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan and not

770
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:54.519
a cent of border money? What
is going on up there? Did Tip

771
01:05:54.519 --> 01:05:57.599
O'Neil come in and fool you guys
again? Now, to be fair,

772
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:00.400
you didn't vote for it, but
the other half of our delegation did explain

773
01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:05.639
what's going on? Yeah, the
you know of the minority. Unfortunately GOP,

774
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:10.519
the majority of US did not vote
for it. But it's pretty close

775
01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:14.320
to fifty to fifty. So that's
that's a real heartbreak. You know,

776
01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:16.400
what do you have? You had
a three hundred and seventy page bill.

777
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:21.119
The bulk of that was about the
border. Uh, the other part was

778
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:27.719
Taiwan, Ukraine, Israel, you
know, things we needed to address.

779
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:30.559
But hey, we're like, hey, we're going to do our border first,

780
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:33.079
which has been my promise to North
Carolinians. And all of a sudden

781
01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:38.159
they stripped three hundred and ten pages
of border. Not saying it was great,

782
01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:40.960
I'm saying we should have continued to
debate that part. They throw that

783
01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:45.840
part away, they go right for
stuff you know that, you know,

784
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:49.199
the global estware after without the border, and then and then all of a

785
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:51.880
sudden they send it over to the
Senate or over to the House. Right

786
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:55.559
now, so thank goodness, we
have a majority in the House. And

787
01:06:55.599 --> 01:07:00.000
now they're talking about discharge petition,
which means they forced Mike Johnson to speak

788
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.760
or the House to put it on
the floor with this game again. Yeah,

789
01:07:05.199 --> 01:07:09.199
yeah, yeah, that's what the
discussion is now. We hope that

790
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:12.800
he can find that off. But
at some point you know the rules of

791
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:15.559
the US House or that they can
eventually go around the speaker and force it

792
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:19.000
onto the floor. And that's a
real problem. Do we need to deal

793
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:24.639
with these things in some way?
Absolutely? Do we need to forget about

794
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:28.679
our border and go straight to this
stuff for Ukraine border first? That's that's

795
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:31.000
not what I told North Carolinians.
Okay, And I want to be clear,

796
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:33.679
because I do. I do check
on this stuff. You were a

797
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:38.920
no on the other bill, as
it's said, you did release the statement

798
01:07:39.719 --> 01:07:42.719
till us was a yes. Then
he was a no. But he was

799
01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:46.599
a yes on this thing. And
I know you don't answer for Senator slender

800
01:07:46.639 --> 01:07:49.480
Man as we call him here on
the show. That being said, I

801
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:56.079
fail to understand how twenty two was
it? Twenty two Republicans a twenty summer?

802
01:07:56.760 --> 01:08:00.840
How they got drug over us?
Yeah? Out of the forty nine,

803
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.639
twenty six of us were nos.
Okay, Democrats were nos, but

804
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:08.679
for very very different reasons. Okay, So how how are they able to

805
01:08:08.760 --> 01:08:11.440
and trap I have the names here, but it's you know, it's a

806
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:16.439
lot of the it's the Romney's McConnell, Jony Ernst is in that. I

807
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:21.520
saw quite a few others. Uh, what is the reasoning? Do do

808
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:27.359
your colleagues who voted for this,
do they honestly believe after they just spent

809
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:30.439
the pre the cent the president out
to blame all border ills on Trump and

810
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:34.520
you guys, that there's some sort
of good faith border bill that's going to

811
01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:39.439
emerge that actually has some teeth.
Tell me that's not what they believe.

812
01:08:40.439 --> 01:08:42.560
Yeah, I can't. I can't
speak for that. I'm you know,

813
01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:45.720
I'm going to handle how I vote
and what I promised North Carolinians. I

814
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:47.920
think they're part of, like,
Hey, yeah, of course we need

815
01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:50.840
to do with the border. Sorry
that didn't work, but we got other

816
01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:55.039
matters to tend to and we're going
to focus on that. But again,

817
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:59.039
it's a bad process. No matter
where as a Republican you came down on

818
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:02.319
this, it was horrible process.
And let's remember who runs the Senate.

819
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:08.079
That's Chuck Schumer. You may make
your complaints about Mitch McConnell, you know,

820
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:12.800
or be a fit I don't know, but Chuck Schumer because of who

821
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:15.880
we got sent in twenty twenty two
back to the Senate. I was the

822
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:18.880
only swing state victory in the country
of Casey, and had I had some

823
01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:23.119
of my colleagues, you know that
would have won, we would have been

824
01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:27.359
a very different place. Right now. Well, I hear you there,

825
01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:30.359
and I know that you have to
answer for your vote. But what I'm

826
01:09:30.359 --> 01:09:32.720
looking for is the behind the scenes
conversation, because I mean, look,

827
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:38.039
you're lobbied on this stuff, and
obviously there's only you know, fifty ish

828
01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:42.760
of you forty nine or whatever,
and so like you have conversations. I'm

829
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:46.079
just wondering what the schoolyard buzz is
because I don't understand the plan, but

830
01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:50.319
I do understand that it's not a
good look when I'm sitting there and reading

831
01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:56.560
about Tillis and McConnell and those quotes
where till us to a lesser extent.

832
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:01.960
It's I call it the Rube factor. And one of the things that I

833
01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:08.399
found extremely off putting in hanging out
in some political circles is occasionally some of

834
01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:13.000
your colleagues and I will say that
you've never done this. Will they get

835
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:16.640
into this my constituents or a bunch
of rubes that don't know any better attitude?

836
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:20.439
And I find that immensely off putting. With politicians, and I think

837
01:10:20.479 --> 01:10:25.279
a lot of people got vibes from
some of the statements. Tillis is not

838
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:30.000
wrong insomuch as a senator who has
clearance during a briefing will likely have more

839
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:34.920
information. But just saying look I
have the details, don't question me.

840
01:10:36.399 --> 01:10:41.000
That's not gonna work for a lot
of people, because inherently trust is a

841
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:45.199
problem up there. So I'm wondering
what the hubbub is there. How you

842
01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:49.600
think they may appease Republican voters going
into what we got a primary lest in

843
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:54.399
a month. Man. Yeah,
you know a lot of this stuff is

844
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:57.600
folks that they aren't in cycle right
now. Like I've got, you know,

845
01:10:58.079 --> 01:11:00.279
because I was elected in twenty twenty
two up till twenty twenty eight.

846
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:04.560
But those that are in cycle right
now, they're up in you know,

847
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:09.000
twenty four. They may have voted
differently. I don't look at it that

848
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:11.640
way. I'm just going like,
look, this is the wrong principle,

849
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.680
it's the wrong process. I came
here. I think national security it doesn't

850
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.960
start in Ukraine. It starts at
our southern border, and we've got to

851
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:23.000
handle that first. So that's that's
how I look at it. When it

852
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:27.000
comes to North Carolinians and the rest
of you know, those in our country

853
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:30.880
and the voters out there. At
any given moment, I might have more

854
01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:33.439
information because of a breathing, but
I'm not smarter than those folks out there.

855
01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:36.359
They sent me there to represent them, and so I really want to

856
01:11:36.359 --> 01:11:41.800
be sensitive to what they're saying and
what they're feeling and what their priorities are.

857
01:11:42.119 --> 01:11:45.880
And I did a here's very very
helpful. So I did a telephone

858
01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:47.720
in town hall. We have thousands
of people on this call. We take

859
01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:50.600
as many calls as we can,
and not just the ones where we feel

860
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:54.119
that they're going to agree with us, like you bring your calls, right,

861
01:11:54.159 --> 01:12:00.000
But yeah, all right, you're
right. So this was before Christmas.

862
01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:01.880
I think it's still very consistent that
we said, if the southern border

863
01:12:01.960 --> 01:12:08.520
was secure, how many of you
believe that we should still help our partners

864
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:12.520
and allies including Ukraine. Two thirds
of the people out there said yes.

865
01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:15.760
And that's a pretty good cross spectrum, you know, across the cross section

866
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:20.600
of folks out there. Uh and
even probably slightly tilted conservative that knew that

867
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:24.399
I was calling them, and you
know, they picked up the phone and

868
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:27.960
they stayed on for an hour.
U. So I think that's a that's

869
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:30.239
a real good dead where people are. But we have to make sure that

870
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:34.840
our southern border is secure first.
And the problem is that three and ten

871
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:41.159
pages of this prior bill got sliced
off and now we're going direct to Ukraine,

872
01:12:42.279 --> 01:12:45.520
right, So then your cohorts shouldn't
vote for it, and maybe in

873
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:49.079
the House they won't or it'll look
different and we'll get into some dumb back

874
01:12:49.119 --> 01:12:54.640
and forth. I am curious though, like, how is how's the Senate

875
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:57.399
bill on this work? Doesn't this
stuff need to originate in the House.

876
01:12:57.439 --> 01:13:00.279
Talk me through the process, because
I mean, it's money, is you

877
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:02.840
don't want to spend money? Yeah, we can float over there. It

878
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:06.439
has to pass passes obviously, and
then we're if they differ, then we're

879
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:10.720
going to have to take it to
conference and that's where uh we agree,

880
01:13:10.760 --> 01:13:14.800
and then you vote on the final
product that comes out of conference. So

881
01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:17.760
the House could send something back that
looks similar to the other bill, maybe

882
01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:21.920
has some improved border stuff. But
on on this if it's taxation or lated,

883
01:13:21.960 --> 01:13:26.159
remember the tax bill that was floated
and really gotten kind of covered up

884
01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:30.119
with all this, Uh, international
and border issue. But they originated because

885
01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:33.359
that sends, you know, with
taxes that comes over to us. So,

886
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:39.840
uh, but but we can we
can originate this one. You know.

887
01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.439
I think it's got it's got major
challenges. One of the things that's

888
01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:47.479
it's we should really be watching is
what President Trump tweeted the other day or

889
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:51.039
or message the other day, is
Hey, we need anything that needs to

890
01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:55.680
go to our allies and partners needs
to be in the form of a loan

891
01:13:56.239 --> 01:14:00.359
on very very favorable terms to them. For instance, you should see curate

892
01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:05.680
the loan to Ukraine with the minerals
over there. There's all sorts of things

893
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:09.680
that we could do, and we
need to make sure that we're sending them

894
01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.640
lethal aid if we decide to go
down this road rather than you know,

895
01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:17.199
direct payments to the Ukrainian treasury.
I think that's a problem when we do

896
01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:23.960
that. We have Yeah, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry, they had what

897
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:27.920
we just have to forty million.
Forty million was pilper here that right,

898
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:32.000
Well, let your handle the social
stuff because they're closer to it. And

899
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:38.000
you know, we've got we've we've
got great military, we've got you know,

900
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:41.560
we need to replenish our own military. And if you're messaging to make

901
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:45.439
people, don't throw these high numbers
in there that we're sending Ukraine when a

902
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:48.159
lot of that needs to be replenishing
our own stocks that we either center there,

903
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:51.279
we sent the Middle East. We've
got to build our own magazine depth

904
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:56.359
back up for our own national security, and so I think that needs to

905
01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:59.279
be looked at separately. Ah,
No, it'll be fine. That's why

906
01:14:59.319 --> 01:15:02.439
you guys don't have her recruiting issues
at all. So but yeah, they

907
01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:06.119
had Look, this is this is
the thing nobody seems to be able to

908
01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:10.680
have an honest conversation, and so
let me let me pose it to you

909
01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:15.319
because it's so polarizing, and you're
right, I think that it probably is

910
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:19.760
pretty split on Ukraine stuff. That
being said, it seems like the people

911
01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:24.880
who got thrown to the wolves are
people like me who sit there and went,

912
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:28.159
you know, here's what I know
about Russia and Ukraine. They're both

913
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:30.960
corrupt, af right, they have
a lot of problems, and it's not

914
01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:34.520
just over there. There's lots of
parts of the world where this is an

915
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:39.880
issue. And even when people were
bringing up that kind of nuanced look on

916
01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:43.640
this going, you know, kind
of with the Reagan Trust, but verify,

917
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.880
I feel like they weren't surprised when
you saw like forty million dollars of

918
01:15:47.039 --> 01:15:50.720
like just kind of of money that
was supposed to go to This just kind

919
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:56.319
of seems to have trickled to some
high profile people over there. That's not

920
01:15:56.399 --> 01:15:59.640
a decision on who you think.
You know, if you guys are going

921
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:01.159
to do a proxy war, I
feel like I would just prefer you just

922
01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:03.680
come out and be yes, this
is a proxy war, but at least

923
01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:06.960
it's not our guys, which it
would at least be an honest opinion.

924
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:13.119
But I feel like some of your
colleagues are deluded that everything was hunky Dori

925
01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:16.439
and Ukraine and and you know it
was just Russia where they were killing their

926
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:21.000
enemies. But like the whole the
whole discussion with Ukraine even go back to

927
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:26.880
the Trump impeachment, is there's a
lot of problems over there, and ignoring

928
01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:30.199
that just kind of irritates people.
More So, how do you continue to

929
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:33.680
do what you say the constituents say
they want you to do, but provide

930
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:38.640
the checks and balances. Yeah,
I think I think we got to win

931
01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:43.199
in November Yeah, sorry to be
very simplistic about this, but we got

932
01:16:43.239 --> 01:16:46.479
to be in the majority, and
then you got to send to Washington folks

933
01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:50.520
that think you ought to be very
accountable with where you send taxpayer dollars.

934
01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:55.079
Jade Vince has been very good on
this. Now we're not one hundred percent

935
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:59.359
in the same place. Like,
I'm open to supporting Ukraine, but you've

936
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:01.760
got to have an inspector general in
there. There's some bills that I supported

937
01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:05.760
on that I think Josh Holly originated
it. And look, if you got

938
01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:10.960
seventy sixty someven different inspector generals,
you basically got none. Because you don't

939
01:17:10.960 --> 01:17:15.079
know where the money's going. You
need to have one that is responsible to

940
01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:18.439
the United States inspector General that says
this is where the dollars are going.

941
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:24.279
It's been verified and it isn't according
to the wishes that we voted for.

942
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.199
Otherwise that money gets slid around and
you don't know where it is. So

943
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:33.680
look, I'm accountable to voters,
I'm accountable to taxpayers, and I think

944
01:17:33.720 --> 01:17:38.760
we have to be responsible if we're
going to support Ukraine. Yeah, you

945
01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:42.520
know it's JD Vans. You run
up JD Vance. Let me just hit

946
01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:45.319
this real quick. So he sent
a letter I'm assuming he sent this to

947
01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:47.720
you. He got reported on,
and basically he was pointing out that if

948
01:17:47.720 --> 01:17:53.720
you look at the Foreign eight Package, the ninety five billion, the language

949
01:17:53.760 --> 01:18:00.119
and numbers are directly aligned with the
very same information that is utilized as part

950
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:03.680
of the Trump impeachment. Right,
this was the phone call impeachment. And

951
01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:08.840
he claims that the language in that
bill, which they in the Senate passed

952
01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:15.960
is a quote impeachment trap in case
Trump gets back into office. Do you

953
01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:21.039
believe that? And it's really yeah, well, look there's debate in the

954
01:18:21.079 --> 01:18:27.079
Republican Conference, so that's a good
thing. But really it's about let's say

955
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:30.279
that he's sworn in on January twentieth, twenty twenty five, and the appropriation

956
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:33.720
that would be spent now would go
all the way through September thirtieth, so

957
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:39.640
the end of September twenty twenty five, and so he's got nine months basically

958
01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:43.880
of other people's wishes he's got to
deal with. In that sense, it

959
01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:47.119
happens all the time. You've got
a prior appropriation that covers an incoming president.

960
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:50.800
That happens all the time. But
I will tell you when Trump is

961
01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:57.159
sworn in, they're looking day one, if not already before, for how

962
01:18:57.199 --> 01:19:00.680
to impeach him a third time.
I will tell you that. And and

963
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.079
Republicans couldn't even impeach may orc As, So run the house side. I

964
01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:09.000
mean, that's right numbers. Yeah, I mean, whether you're in Washington

965
01:19:09.079 --> 01:19:11.720
or what are you back home,
Matt is still important. You got to

966
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:14.479
have folks, You got to have
books physically to actually show up in the

967
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:17.199
House, and then you got to
have the right numbers elected every year.

968
01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:20.000
And I'll tell you what, Mike
Johnson, God bless him. He has

969
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:24.880
razor thin margins. You know,
you may get mad, you know,

970
01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:29.279
George Santos for all his craziness and
dishonesty. But at the end of the

971
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:30.640
day, when people say what do
you think about this? What do you

972
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:33.760
think about that? You know is
this person? It comes down to red

973
01:19:34.039 --> 01:19:39.880
versus blue policies and how it affects
us at home and how it affects us

974
01:19:39.920 --> 01:19:43.159
in our countries. And I'm going
to vote with red policies which lead to

975
01:19:43.239 --> 01:19:46.399
human prosperity and human flourishing. And
I think it's more in line with the

976
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:50.119
Constitution. Blue policies. Now,
they may call themselves progressive, but it

977
01:19:50.159 --> 01:19:55.880
ain't progress and it's really regressive,
is what it ends up doing. Santos

978
01:19:55.880 --> 01:20:00.880
actually tweeted miss me now after the
two fifteen tigo, and he's not wrong.

979
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:03.520
Uh, you can because again,
this is the this is the inability

980
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:08.800
to separate, you know, the
sides. Like there's a lot of members,

981
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:12.239
there's a lot of your colleagues I
think are crazy, Senator, I

982
01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:15.479
mean just backcraft crazy. Yeah,
And and it runs the gamut. But

983
01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:21.399
it's like I think, I think
the biggest pressing, uh more non specific

984
01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:27.079
but overriding concern is and this is
where I'm at now. I just want

985
01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:31.520
to feel that government's getting back to
equal treatment, which I feel that every

986
01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:35.560
day we move further and further away
from in the world of politics and the

987
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:42.039
world of the bills that are passed
and and just like the criminal justice system

988
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:45.159
would be I guess the most shining
example, what what are you doing in

989
01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:48.319
a minute? I know it's a
complex question, uh, to honor that

990
01:20:48.520 --> 01:20:53.680
promise of equal treatment that we hold
deer here, what are you guys doing?

991
01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:59.880
Yeah, first of all, when
I'm traveling all one hundred counties,

992
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:02.119
they asked me, are you gonna
you know, are you gonna go at

993
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:06.800
Washington? Are you going to come
back glad you're elected? And I said,

994
01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:10.479
you know what, I'm coming back. So you never want to lose

995
01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:14.439
track of what folks feel in the
state. I'm pulled over to gas station

996
01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:18.159
driving back to North Carolina right now
in this conversation. But I think folks

997
01:21:18.239 --> 01:21:23.199
in the primaries, not just in
the general, You've got to elect folks

998
01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:29.159
that actually represent you well and they're
not going to go off the rails.

999
01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:32.279
They're not gonna they're not going to
embarrass you. Once they get to Washington.

1000
01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:35.520
They may be a rock rib conservative, but again, you've got to

1001
01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:40.199
have somebody that's not going to embarrass
you and they understand the issues. I

1002
01:21:40.239 --> 01:21:44.079
think that's the folks that we need
in Washington. Okay, all right,

1003
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:47.000
I gotta go, but and I
appreciate the time. Obviously, it'll be

1004
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:53.039
very interesting the next few weeks.
Thank you, senator, appreciated. God

1005
01:21:53.039 --> 01:21:55.439
bless see you. All right,
and we'll be back. Hang on,

1006
01:21:56.119 --> 01:21:59.640
it doesn't sound like the House has
interest, but it also didn't sound like

1007
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.359
this and it had interest. So
I don't know, man, But if

1008
01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:09.399
Republicans somehow allow you know, one
hundred billion or ninety five or ninety six

1009
01:22:09.399 --> 01:22:15.520
billion, whatever it is, and
get nothing from a border standpoint. I

1010
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:16.199
mean, I feel, you know
what I feel. I feel. It

1011
01:22:16.199 --> 01:22:21.399
feels like Medicaid expansion, where there's
probably some benefit behind the scenes in the

1012
01:22:21.720 --> 01:22:28.439
h the scummiest of ways, but
you won't reap any of it. And

1013
01:22:28.680 --> 01:22:30.520
uh, I kin'd I hit him
with a what is? What is a

1014
01:22:30.560 --> 01:22:33.079
more in depth question, and I'll
probably get back to him with it.

1015
01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:38.239
I've tried to. I was thinking
about just what I was putting prep together,

1016
01:22:38.880 --> 01:22:42.800
more so yesterday, but a little
the day before too, And like,

1017
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.840
if I had to put my finger
on on what I think drives discontent,

1018
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.800
it's also the same thing that's marketed. And here's what I mean by

1019
01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:57.119
that, And it is the equality, equity, opportunity, or at least

1020
01:22:57.239 --> 01:23:00.039
duality of the way that we deal
with things right, the equal protection under

1021
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:08.079
the law. There are people of
all political walks right now who do not

1022
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:14.319
believe they feel that there is a
double standard, whether it is conservatives within

1023
01:23:14.439 --> 01:23:18.359
any of the Washington judiciary or within
the media, whether it is pockets of

1024
01:23:18.439 --> 01:23:23.600
Democrats who feel that it is born
of race or gender or whatever it may

1025
01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:30.720
be. And that's a really easy
way to gin people up where they are

1026
01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:39.760
willing to they're willing to eat them
those the jelly beans that Ross mentioned that

1027
01:23:39.800 --> 01:23:44.159
tastes like fish and vomiting stuff,
and then and then tell themselves, I'm

1028
01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:47.199
still eating a jelly bean. And
that's what I wanted, right so,

1029
01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:51.680
because that is such a great way
to fundraise and marshal the troops, Like

1030
01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:58.000
there's no net benefit to going.
Yeah, you know what, maybe maybe

1031
01:23:58.079 --> 01:24:04.159
whether it is in policing or within
you know, oversight government, oversight within

1032
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:10.159
the bureaucracies, to the elected officials
out there, and most importantly to the

1033
01:24:10.359 --> 01:24:14.600
judges out there, that people feel
that at the end of the day,

1034
01:24:15.479 --> 01:24:21.640
when it's the core functions of what
we entrust within government, that they're achieving

1035
01:24:21.720 --> 01:24:26.840
that. And I don't believe the
majority of Americans believe that. In fact,

1036
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:30.239
I think the vast majority believe that
there is inequality, albeit for different

1037
01:24:30.279 --> 01:24:35.680
reasons. So I had to put
my finger on it. I think that's

1038
01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:44.079
the biggest driving force, the other
great threat to society. Cats. I'm

1039
01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:47.399
sorry, Look, we just report
the news here. I am I am

1040
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:51.920
a slave to the facts. Right, if the Vikings played a Sunday night

1041
01:24:53.000 --> 01:24:56.760
game and got you know, beat
by thirty, I can't come in on

1042
01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:02.319
Monday morning and go they won,
because you know that that's not true.

1043
01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:08.000
I can not talk about it.
But that's different. But I have to

1044
01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:12.840
approach the information wherever it may come
from. And I see these two stories,

1045
01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:21.720
and something needs to be done.
A US citizen may have caught a

1046
01:25:23.199 --> 01:25:30.399
bubonic plague from the bomonic plague in
Oregon from their house cat. The victim

1047
01:25:30.520 --> 01:25:36.520
in Oregon is the first case of
the deadly medieval disease in eight years.

1048
01:25:39.039 --> 01:25:42.039
I go in to talk about all
the horribleness that goes on with it,

1049
01:25:42.079 --> 01:25:45.760
and it's pretty horrible, like puff
filled boils and all sort you can look

1050
01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:49.520
it up. However, when attempting
to determine, all, right, well,

1051
01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:58.239
how did this happen, they believe
that this guy's cats were catching wild

1052
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.800
rodents and then the fleas, and
that you know, if you look at

1053
01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:04.760
the history of the Black Death and
plague and all of that, flees be

1054
01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:09.720
the name of the game. The
owner also, they say, may have

1055
01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:13.560
been in contact with the cat's contaminated
fluids. They had a guy in Wyoming

1056
01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:18.039
who got bubonic. But I remember
this terrified me years ago skinning a mountain

1057
01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:23.960
lion he had killed and he cut
himself or something. So but in this

1058
01:26:24.079 --> 01:26:28.039
case, house cat and the irony
is that's not even the only story.

1059
01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:33.520
Now we also have a new disease
to freak out about. You ready,

1060
01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:41.199
Alaska confirms the first fatal case of
Alaska pox. Okay, I have a

1061
01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:45.800
question. First, I thought we
were told that we can no longer use

1062
01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:56.239
geographic references in the naming structure of
diseases, right, remember you can't.

1063
01:26:56.680 --> 01:27:00.399
They had to lay oh no,
this is no longer called that's cold,

1064
01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:03.960
and then some assortment of random letters
and numbers, like like a weird password

1065
01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:12.359
because you're hurting feelings now. Stuff. Other stuff was fine, like lyme

1066
01:27:12.439 --> 01:27:17.039
disease, I mean that's hyper specific. That's Connecticut specifically, and that one

1067
01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:20.119
was okay, But like remember monkey
pocks had to go. That's not even

1068
01:27:20.159 --> 01:27:23.880
geography. They're just like, you
know, there's a lot of monkeys over

1069
01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:28.920
in Africa, and that's we can't
have that, which is crazy because there's

1070
01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:36.800
monkeys on everywhere. So but not
Antarctica, I guess. But like they

1071
01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:45.439
got primates everywhere North America, South
America, Europe, Asia. This is

1072
01:27:45.479 --> 01:27:49.119
not difficult, but in this case
Alaska. Now, by the way,

1073
01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:56.119
this sounds horrible according to In case
you're wondering, so, I want you

1074
01:27:56.159 --> 01:27:59.680
to picture your chicken pox, but
instead of those spots, they're about three

1075
01:27:59.720 --> 01:28:05.000
times the size and they're wide open, seeping all over your body. It

1076
01:28:05.039 --> 01:28:14.640
looks horrific. State epidemiologists say that
they believe that the Alaska pox may have

1077
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:16.800
been transmitted to the patient. Bye, you're ready for this, done it

1078
01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:24.680
none. Their pet cat in very
much the same theory as the ebola.

1079
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:29.079
So I'm just saying, you've got
a cat in your house. Basically,

1080
01:28:29.159 --> 01:28:38.119
you're you're you might as well be
running a smelting operation around your kids.

1081
01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:41.239
Is that over the top, I
don't think so. I think that's fair.

1082
01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:44.359
All right, cat people, send
me your worst for now. Let's

1083
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:47.720
go to ray Stagic. He's got
got tons of cats. Coverty cats right

1084
01:28:47.720 --> 01:28:53.800
now. Though you guys have cats, No, we did, And I

1085
01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:58.800
to all the cat lovers out there, I don't miss the cats because you

1086
01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:02.439
don't want to get Alaska Park should
have been playing exactly and that's exactly what

1087
01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:05.359
it is so so glad I got
rid of that a while ago, right,

1088
01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:11.680
ye man, yeah exactly. So
yeah, now we've got a dog,

1089
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:15.479
but dog's okay. I'd be good
in the future without any pets for

1090
01:29:15.520 --> 01:29:19.840
a little bit. Oh no,
all right, yeah noted, No,

1091
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:23.199
no, no, I did.
I said for a little bit. You

1092
01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:26.279
know, you just kind of want
that break from you know, the puppy

1093
01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:30.039
dogs get older, they make more
messes and things like that, so trying

1094
01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:32.000
to you should get into feeder livestock. Yeah, first that's your pet,

1095
01:29:32.079 --> 01:29:36.640
then it's your dinner. My sister
has never copd that. Well, I

1096
01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:40.840
never thought of it that way.
They're like, what happened to the cow?

1097
01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:43.159
Because we if we're gonna slaughter a
cow, we bring it away from

1098
01:29:43.199 --> 01:29:46.039
the rest of the cows for quarantine
while just make sure nothing and so like

1099
01:29:46.079 --> 01:29:48.880
when they were little, they'd be
like, I we named it Mary,

1100
01:29:49.079 --> 01:29:53.199
and then'd come home one day and
Mary's gone, But Hamburger help hers up.

1101
01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:58.319
So Hamburger help her. Yeah,
like what happened to Mary? She

1102
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:01.560
will tell you. Yeah, well
anywhere happened to it anyway. Yeah,

1103
01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:05.520
so all right, Well, yeah, we're good. We're good, pretty

1104
01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:12.960
good week. Most of us looking
at just gusty winds today. The advisories

1105
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:17.119
for the wind we'll expire at noon, but still forty mile proud gusts in

1106
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:19.800
some spots, so a little kind
of chill in the air with that.

1107
01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:23.319
Other than that, it's nothing to
have a whack for this time of year.

1108
01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:26.640
The mid upper fifties tonight in the
little mid thirties. Tomorrow about the

1109
01:30:26.640 --> 01:30:29.760
same as today, but less wind. It'll feel a lot different with that

1110
01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:34.399
strong now mid February sunshine should have
plenty of it in the upper fifties.

1111
01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:38.920
I think we all cracked sixty on
Thursday, so Thursday the best day of

1112
01:30:38.920 --> 01:30:41.960
the week, and then we're closer
to sixty on Friday. As a week

1113
01:30:41.960 --> 01:30:45.119
a little push a cooler air comes
in. I'm gonna cool down again over

1114
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:47.880
the weekend, which showers Saturday in
the mid upper fifties and then maybe only

1115
01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:53.319
near fifty on Sunday. But casey
doesn't look terrible. I do think the

1116
01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:55.880
middle of the month here, now
that we're getting into it, we'll probably

1117
01:30:55.920 --> 01:31:00.840
start seeing a little bit more at
or slightly below average temperatures than anything else.

1118
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:03.239
But don't see any snow, any
ice or anything like that. Certainly

1119
01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:08.079
over the next seven days. Don't
have that. Just a pretty dry weather,

1120
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:12.760
just a chance of showers by Saturday. Okay, and condolences. I

1121
01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:16.680
saw one of your former players passed
away. Oh who's that, Tony Hudson.

1122
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:21.279
Oh really, I didn't see that. Yeah they. Randall Godfrey,

1123
01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:28.479
former Cowboy linebacker, posted about the
death yesterday on Facebook, says he died

1124
01:31:28.520 --> 01:31:32.000
he was forty nine. They didn't
give a cause. Maybe there's as Yeah.

1125
01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:36.600
Oh well, all right, all
right, sorry to bum me out.

1126
01:31:36.680 --> 01:31:42.960
Talk to you tomorrow. Nope,
thanks all right. Race Stagic right

1127
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:45.039
there and coming up, Jeff Bellinger, next, Hang on, Jeff Bellinger,

1128
01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:48.600
Jeff, what's happening? Well,
good morning. Casey. Got a

1129
01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:54.079
new reading on retail level inflation this
morning, and it's a big disappointment to

1130
01:31:54.199 --> 01:31:59.279
investors. The consumer price index was
up three tenths percent last month. The

1131
01:31:59.399 --> 01:32:03.079
year over year increase was three point
one percent. Economists thought there was a

1132
01:32:03.119 --> 01:32:08.279
really good chance that the year over
year reading would drop below three percent,

1133
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:12.680
so lots of disappointment on Wall Street. Futures are lower right across the board.

1134
01:32:12.720 --> 01:32:15.840
The now futures are down three hundred
and fifty to five points at at

1135
01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:19.680
the moment, small business owners turn
more downbeat. Over the last month,

1136
01:32:19.720 --> 01:32:26.199
the National Federation of Independent Business Optimism
index has fallen to the lowest reading since

1137
01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:30.239
last May. Fewer owners expect sales
volumes to pick up more. Respondents of

1138
01:32:30.319 --> 01:32:34.479
their earnings declined over the last three
months, and the share of business people

1139
01:32:34.520 --> 01:32:39.439
that plan to boost employment has dropped
to the lowest level since May of twenty

1140
01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:44.920
twenty. Tiger Woods wasn't without a
marketing partner for very long. Woods and

1141
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:48.479
Nike ended their long term deal earlier
this year. Now the golfing legend has

1142
01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:53.520
a new agreement with Taylor Made,
and the line of apparel will be introduced

1143
01:32:53.560 --> 01:32:57.720
in the spring. Strategists of Morgan
Stanley say there's been a record amount of

1144
01:32:57.720 --> 01:33:01.720
talk about cost cutting during recent and
corporate earnings calls. The focus on bottom

1145
01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:05.640
lines could also mean that bosses will
be pressuring workers to do more in the

1146
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:11.720
year ahead. The Wall Street Journal
says the feedback delivered during job interviews may

1147
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:16.560
be more brutal than usual because companies
are looking for maximum productivity, and the

1148
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:21.680
case CBS says it had a record
audience Sunday night. The network says the

1149
01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:27.439
Super Bowl attracted nearly twenty one hundred
twenty three and a half million viewers,

1150
01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:31.199
seven percent more than the twenty twenty
three Super Bowl, and CBS says it

1151
01:33:31.319 --> 01:33:36.159
was the biggest audience ever for a
single US network. Ez. Yeah,

1152
01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:40.880
and you just know why they're going
to say that is and I just can't.

1153
01:33:41.039 --> 01:33:46.199
I just Sarah tune in to see
the swift. But we'll see.

1154
01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:49.159
All right, thank you, Jeff. Okay, you have a good day.

1155
01:33:49.279 --> 01:33:53.720
Talk to you tomorrow. Sorry about
your nor'easter. Okay, all right,

1156
01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:59.239
pay here by right just at home. You know, it's snowing up

1157
01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:04.840
there, which apparently is it must
be a new thing, like Razie didn't

1158
01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:06.920
have snow when you were a kid
growing up in New York. Right,

1159
01:34:08.279 --> 01:34:12.279
that's obviously global climate warming change there. But it's getting bad. How do

1160
01:34:12.399 --> 01:34:20.800
I know? This doomsday article right
here from Vox senior environmental reporter Benji Jones

1161
01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:29.720
with a very scary piece about how
humans are destroying the planet and then he's

1162
01:34:29.760 --> 01:34:32.560
gonna give examples. All right,
So what do you think the example is

1163
01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:38.159
of the end? Is ni climate
change? Right? Because he's heard we've

1164
01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:42.560
heard some doozies as to where they're
like, ah, this thing happened,

1165
01:34:42.560 --> 01:34:45.840
and you're like, wait a sec
Last year you said that wasn't happening,

1166
01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:49.000
so it was the problem. So
what is the thing now? That is

1167
01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:57.399
the indicator? All right? Well, tropical forests are getting cut down,

1168
01:34:57.479 --> 01:35:04.239
parking lots replaced with replace bird filled
grasslands. Climate change is fueling forest raging,

1169
01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:11.359
raising wildfires. On the whole,
natural plant filled habitats seem to be

1170
01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:15.880
disappearing. That is literally like the
second paragraph. So I'm like, okay,

1171
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:21.159
so what's the problem. Well,
according to scientists, they're concerned because

1172
01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:30.439
Earth is growing greener. I mean
literally green, as in the extent of

1173
01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:38.520
green vegetation on the Earth has increased
in its totality over the last four decades.

1174
01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:43.199
And that goes for little stuff that
goes for trees. Right, we

1175
01:35:43.279 --> 01:35:46.239
have more, even though I talk
about the Amazonian rainforest, there are more

1176
01:35:46.319 --> 01:35:51.439
trees now than there have ever been
in North America. Not so much Haiti,

1177
01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:56.359
but in the US and many many
countries fall into that. If you

1178
01:35:56.359 --> 01:36:01.279
don't believe me, look it up, by the way. So they say

1179
01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:08.520
that the results are counterintuitive and may
speak to a deeper problem that scientists yet

1180
01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:16.079
to fail failed to understand. So
this thing that is empirical evidence that is

1181
01:36:16.319 --> 01:36:20.560
opposite of the predictions and what you're
literally saying in the first part of the

1182
01:36:20.680 --> 01:36:26.640
article, this thing is happening,
and because it's happening, but it doesn't

1183
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:32.079
agree with your predictions. Now it
could be more problematic. Great, Okay,

1184
01:36:32.159 --> 01:36:36.560
so put that in the box.
