WEBVTT 1 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:50.679 All right, so you're on team You're on team coincidence, right. Ross 2 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:56.439 is acting like I just sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I'm just 3 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.399 saying that I woke up this morning, my stomach's like, you know, 4 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.920 like when you eat a bunch of buffalo wings. And now I'm looking back 5 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.760 at what I had yesterday for dinner, and I was running around, I 6 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.719 was doing errands. It was a busy day, and I'm like, oh, 7 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.760 I don't want to cook dinner, so I got take out from the 8 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.120 olive garden. You're telling me there's no coincidence, that's not even possible. 9 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.120 No, there's no way. But I mean, if you ever have been 10 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.920 to Tuscany, because that's where the chefs are trained in. I've been to 11 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:36.760 Tuscany, O. The plumbing is elite. Actually actually when you go mostly 12 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.599 let me let me just tell you this as somebody who hasn't traveled all around 13 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.079 a lot of places in the world, the plumbing is not elite, but 14 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.959 Tuscany it is. I mean in the tourist areas, yes, but like 15 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.239 there's whole swass of the world that if you go, you can't even put 16 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.239 toilet paper in the toilet. Did you know this? And they have trash 17 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.519 cans. They have these separate trash cans next to the toilet. That's where 18 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.200 all paper products is supposed to go. It's gross. So just you know, 19 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:12.240 FYI on that. Sorry, it was literally right for the show. 20 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.000 I ran away and Ross is probably like, where did he go? And 21 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.080 I just send him a text from the Little Boys room. But nobody wants 22 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.840 to hear that at six in the morning. Unfortunately it's Friday, so you 23 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.159 get to hear it. So anyway, we're gonna get through this. Pete 24 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.360 calendar will help us get through it. That's coming up eight oh five today. 25 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.840 And boy oh boyd, we got a lot to talk about with the 26 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.759 police bodycam stuff. I know we didn't get into it yesterday, but obviously 27 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:47.800 that was excuse me, that was part of our several days of our shows. 28 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.520 This week, we will get into that. Boy. And there is 29 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.560 some interesting news coming down in the world of Merrick Garland and Anthony B. 30 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.439 Lincoln, the Secretary of State and the Attorney General as it pertains to Hunter 31 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.159 Biden, Hunter Biden's laptop, all of that insanity. This stuff in any 32 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:17.840 other era would have been like super maximum scandal. It would have been crazy. 33 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.520 So we will uh well, we'll we'll touch on the details. It's 34 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.159 I don't want to say it's complex. It's mildly complex. But anyway, 35 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.319 So I had soup these zupp at Tuscana. What's your preferred? What's your 36 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.120 preferred soup? The you like the chicken in? What I'm trying to think? 37 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.360 What is the Oh you're the Italian wedding guy. Okay, what's the 38 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.000 newest one they entered? I tried it once. I'm like, nah, 39 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.919 it's no z up at Tuscana? What was that? The chicken in Joki 40 00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.479 naki rum Ah, it's up at Tiskana. Farstity, the Corleone chicken? 41 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.800 Is that what it's called? The corrion Corleone chicken? Um? I like 42 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:14.719 the Italian sausage with the kale and all that. So a salad and I 43 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.680 had uh linguini and meatballs, not spaghetti and meatballs. And I'm sorry, 44 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.199 those meatballs are elite? Can we just agree on that as far as I 45 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.560 mean, it's my unbiased opinion. I think the entire place top tier. 46 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.800 But the meat balls are better than they should be for the price point. 47 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.399 Is I mean it's yeah, you're right, it's authentic Italian cuisine. Ah, 48 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.040 when you're there your family. Nobody treated me as family. I was. 49 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.920 I was treated as a person who wanted to give them twenty ash dollars 50 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.720 and they wanted to give me a thing of food. So and they took 51 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:58.600 your face and they kiss bull cheeks. Uh no, No. The girl 52 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.000 that handled the take out, she was very nice. I will say that. 53 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.120 I will say that she was very nice, but there was no kissing 54 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.879 involved. Although I'm not gonna lie. You know, weekend's coming up. 55 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.399 If she'd have given me the you know, the the nice little flirty eye, 56 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.000 I don't know. Maybe, although at that point I would feel obligated 57 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:28.079 to take her to Olive Garden, which probably wouldn't wouldn't impress her because she's 58 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.839 just swimming in it daily. So but all right, well it must be 59 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.600 something. We'll just go that it's something else. You know what it was? 60 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.759 It was probably the caesar salad I had for lunch. I had left 61 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.160 over caesar salad from another thing. But all right, trying to get to 62 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.800 the bottom of it. But don't worry, we're gonna truck through the show. 63 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:54.920 Not a fear just uh, you know, just one of those things 64 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.519 this morning, and it's Friday, and nobody likes that, all right. 65 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.000 Also coming up on the show, got crash Chest Dummies. Nope, not 66 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:09.199 that, not the band from the nineties, but our own little little discussion 67 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:15.839 on because apparently Mayor Pete is just awesome according to according to the chick from 68 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:25.199 various fantasy movies from the nineties, BuzzFeed is in the news, but for 69 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:33.839 a good reason. And we will get into this the where is it? 70 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:41.240 AOC has decided that something she did back when she first came into office was 71 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.759 apparently such a win that she has to recreate him. All right, So 72 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.560 with all that mind, there's a little rundown for you. We'll dive right 73 00:06:50.639 --> 00:07:00.399 into it all. Coming up here on the case od Radio program celebrating ten 74 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.759 years and still going strong. Thank you. Casey is on ninety four five 75 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.600 WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. 76 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.639 All right, good morning, it is six nineteen. You're on the Casey 77 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:43.040 O Day Radio program. All right, my board is was on crack this 78 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.839 morning. Um, everything sounds correct, now, what so what did we 79 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.839 have? We had some sports guy using my studio. Yeah, I guess 80 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:58.079 he came in last night from Fox Sports Radio some using your your like everything 81 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.560 in there, and they moved everything. Then everything, they moved everything you 82 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.240 had in your studio into my studio, like the mini fridge. Stop, 83 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.360 that's not a thing on the other side over there, everything that you had 84 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.680 and your student. Why can't see the mini fridge from the board. It's 85 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.240 so it's over on the on the opposite side of your board that's normally there. 86 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.879 It's in here. I walked in this morning, I'm like, what 87 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.759 the heck is this? All right? Now? I gotta I'm sorry. 88 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.639 I had no idea you were frustrated this morning, but I thought it was 89 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.480 just like I thought maybe you had olive Garden as well, So I didn't 90 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.240 all right, good lord, all right, No, everything's fine. I 91 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.440 the now it's now. It sounds it sounds, you know how that it's 92 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.600 it's so weird because the audience doesn't hear the difference. I'm convinced of that, 93 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.480 right, But you and I we can walk into any studio where we 94 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.440 worked the day before, or any audio chain for that matter, or any 95 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:09.399 anything, right, and then the moment like somebody moves a slight little slider 96 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:18.039 on the board, you can tell the difference and and like, and it's 97 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.200 just the OCD nature being in radio where you you know, you're you're trained 98 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.840 to listen for all this stuff. Whereas once it leaves the studio and goes 99 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.200 through the whole process and the exciter and eventually the tower or the digital chain 100 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.360 for those streaming it, you can't notice the difference. They touched your board 101 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:46.039 too, didn't they They always do. Yes, you want to make an 102 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.399 enemy of Ross for life, go in and mess with his board when he's 103 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.519 not. It's not just the board, like I can deal if you're messing 104 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.919 with you know, different sliders are taking this out of program whatever. What 105 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.879 pisces me off is that my board has a specific thing that messes with the 106 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.960 EQ of the headphones. Because I've been doing this like you for like twenty 107 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.200 five years, and my hearing isn't exactly great, so I have any I 108 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.360 have a thing that messages with the EQ. So I turned the high end 109 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.279 up right, it messed the low end. And sometimes people come in and 110 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.159 they're like, oh, what cause this sounds and they move it all around 111 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.759 and then I put my headphones in the morning and I can't hear anything, 112 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.559 and it drives me insane, Like if you if you use something, put 113 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.679 it back to what you found it. I believe it's legal to firebomb one's 114 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.200 car, not with them in it. Not with them in it, of 115 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.320 course, but you know, just to send a message like an old mob 116 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.279 thing or right where that scene where they're walking towards their car and all of 117 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.759 a sudden it blows up, to send a message like the Brad Pitt in 118 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.399 the One Ocean's movie where where he blew up one of his cars just to 119 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.080 be like, you need to pay me back all of my money I got. 120 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.639 I gotta say this, if you're ever in a situation where your car 121 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.600 does tragically blow up and possibly things your fiance or wife is inside it? 122 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.200 Right, Oh no, what what will make you feel bad? What'll take 123 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.679 that pain away? Is the poor Leoni Chicken from Olive Garden was the wife 124 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.720 in this scenario, just learning to drive. She was, Yeah, that's 125 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:18.200 sad because she's probably by the way, How did I How have I never 126 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.799 seen an interview before with al Pacino where they ask him whether Godfather one or 127 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:28.279 Godfather Two's better? Wouldn't that be the first. If we had al Paccino 128 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.080 on the show, wouldn't that be the first question you'd want to ask him, 129 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.360 just to settle that. Are you on team one or team two? 130 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.480 But I am on team one. Love on both movies. I think they're 131 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.600 both fantastic, bull reserving of the best picture I have. I really have 132 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.320 nothing negative to say about either of them, but I prefer one over two. 133 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.320 Gee, I prefer two over one. But I'm with you. It's 134 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.000 by an inch, and it's just maybe it's just I like the whole back 135 00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:01.279 and forth of the timelines. But if you, if you've said I force 136 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.720 you to renounce that you have to go, I wouldn't be far off doing 137 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.879 that. And then the second question would just be me looking at Pacino Gone 138 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.559 number three, And then I wouldn't ask anything, but I would say that. 139 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.360 And I think that in and of itself would be an acceptable question. 140 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.759 And what would the answer? The only answer that would appease me is him 141 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.519 taking his wallet out, holding it up as a visual, and then putting 142 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.919 it back in his pocket, because at least that would be honest. There, 143 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.399 so I'm reading something? Or do you do you not want him to 144 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.720 make any excuses. Do you want him just to beg forgiveness when you bring 145 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:48.120 up three or actually had? Maybe the better answer would be, what do 146 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.039 you mean three? What are you talking about? Where al Pacino himself has 147 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.960 blocked out the existence of Godfather three. I would just, I just I 148 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.759 don't want to make him feel comfortable. I appreciate him. I would like 149 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.960 to take him out to the Olive Garden maybe have some some Alfredo sauce. 150 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.720 Did you know the Alfredo sauce is named after Fredo from the Godfather at the 151 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.200 Olive Garden? Did you just make up a new fact that's now canon? 152 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.559 Is that? What? Just? Sure? Do you know how much cannon 153 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.879 the show has provided for the world? All right, so now the Alfredo 154 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.639 sauce was named after Fredo? Well that was that's horrible considering you know spoiler 155 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.279 alert what happened. I did not have the Fredo sauce yesterday. I had 156 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:39.320 them. I had the meatballs with linguini and the um the five cheese. 157 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.279 So rather than the meat, they will sub that for you. Just ask. 158 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.559 They're very I guess when you're dealing with family, they're they're they're willing 159 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.840 to do that. So no, I was reading a Pacino interview yesterday and 160 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.480 they were asking him. Mean, he didn't really give an answer, but 161 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.919 he actually deviated it. He kind of did, though I think he's been 162 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.639 he's being diplomatic political about it, but he did so he did give an 163 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.879 answer. He kind of did, but it was based on screen time. 164 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:13.799 Would you agree with that? No? Okay, well, maybe I'm misinterpreted 165 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.759 this. Hold on, all right, let me all right. At one 166 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.080 point during the interview, the star Wars asked if he thinks the original Godfather 167 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.759 is superior to the second one. He said, no, I don't. 168 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.759 I really think it's more what would you call it, artistic or something? 169 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.279 I don't know. I don't mean to play it down and be overly modest 170 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.320 because I start in it with Bob de Niro, but at the same time, 171 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.039 it's a different film, So you think that's him hard selecting too. 172 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.120 No, I read that paragraph over and over again because you know how much 173 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.120 I love the film. The way I interpreted it, he was saying the 174 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:52.639 first movie was better than the second movie because it was more artistic. Yeah, 175 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.960 all right, all right, I mean, he goes on because that 176 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.480 paragraph in the article was on it and it talks about how the second one 177 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.720 is more linear, whereas the first one is more artistic, and like he 178 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.799 talks about the individual scenes and how there's a lot going on in every scene, 179 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.399 but that's how the second one is more of a linear movie. I 180 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.360 guess I the way that I read it, I understand where you're coming from. 181 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.399 The way I read it is it sounded like him kind of not wanting 182 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.519 to pick a favorite and just saying, well, they're not. It's like 183 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.879 you can't compare two movies that one is artistic and one is more storytelling versus. 184 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.480 But you think that was him heart selected. There's yeah, I really 185 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.320 do. There's certain there's certain scenes in the first movie, Man, like 186 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.360 the opening, wedding, them in the kitchen, making the pasta. There's 187 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.080 these certain scenes where you watch it and I when I watch, I don't 188 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.480 feel like I'm watching a movie. I feel like it's like you're getting like 189 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.960 a like a sneak peek and as somebody's actually like kitchen, there's somebody's wedding, 190 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.879 and it's just you know, not necessarily like the Vito Corleon, you 191 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.480 know, study scenes, but like just the scenes where they're side dancing, 192 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.600 you know, It just reminds me of certain portions of New York where you 193 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.799 would have, like I said, we would have the Italian Feast and these 194 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.840 these uh, these big parties with all the Italian food and stuff, and 195 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:10.200 it's it reminds me. It's like it's like a sneak peak of what it 196 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.960 was really like what it seems like. It seems like I wanted. I 197 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.600 wanted when I was when I was in New York, when I was literally 198 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:21.440 I was in Staten Island, and it's it's not that far from where I 199 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.919 was. I wanted to, but I would have had to take a cab 200 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.039 over there, and I thought the guy would think I'm weird. But I 201 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.039 wanted to go and just take a picture, like in the front of that 202 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.399 house, because it's still there. I think it was for sale here a 203 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.080 couple of years ago too, but get a picture in front of it. 204 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.759 And I never did, but I've looked at it on Google Earth. All 205 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.320 right. Well, he had a couple other things to say too, which 206 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:51.759 I thought were interested. We may get into that. It's from celebrating ten 207 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.240 years of keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the triad 208 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:03.559 and one oh six one FM talk and the Tryal wait, so so wait, 209 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.319 people are tweeting at us making fun of your board. Now what did 210 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.319 you just say? Hold on? What happened? Well, I mean they're 211 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.839 making fun of both of our boards to get the conversation. That's a fire 212 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.759 tweeting. That's great. Look what they did to my board? Love it? 213 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.000 Okay, they shot my board dead in the causeway? Why why did 214 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.799 they don't know what they do? I don't know. Do you have to 215 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.160 call in undertaker and bakers and all that? You have to call in favors? 216 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.000 Now, I mean, what's gonna happen? Okay, I get the 217 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:41.599 all that is funny. I'm telling you it sounds OCD is all get out, 218 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.480 But just translate it to what it is you do for a living, 219 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.799 because I promise you the same example, Like, yeah, all right, 220 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:55.440 So I had one uncle who's a mechanic ian. He really doesn't work as 221 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.720 a mechanic, but he was a mechanic. And yeah, he works obviously 222 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.240 in the ranch environment, and but he has like I'm pretty sure that he 223 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.279 owns part of the company at snap On, right, So he had all 224 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.000 the big red cases. If you went over to his garage and every tool 225 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.160 I believe that's ever been made, And if you won, you had to 226 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.359 be on the list to be able to borrow a tool. But I promise 227 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.079 you, if you borrowed a tool, got done with it, went back 228 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.799 over to phills, open the drawer where you knew the tool to be, 229 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.400 and you put it right where it was. But it was one eighth of 230 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:41.000 one degree slightly tilted one way or the other. Hell would rain down upon 231 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.599 you. So whether if you have a cube or desk and somebody tweaked something 232 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:53.000 slightly or borrows it's that. It's that right there. For us, that's 233 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.039 just our version of it. I'm sure other people deal with that as well. 234 00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.079 So it just it throws you off, especially, let me tell you, 235 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:07.559 especially early early morning, if one thing's out of place, it can 236 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.960 ruin your whole morning. If one thing's out of place when you're trying to 237 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.680 leave your house at o dark thirty in the morning, Like let's say you 238 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:22.319 for ten seconds you can't find your keys. Somehow that will compound into fifteen 239 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.200 minutes behind schedule. And I don't know how it works, what the deal 240 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:33.799 is, but yeah, you screw with a board. That's a problem mentally, 241 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.319 you know, in the in the grand scheme of things, it's not 242 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.839 the end of the world, but that's how that goes, all right, 243 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:45.599 eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four h Let me dive into 244 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:52.960 just a couple of things. So, um, yesterday was meltdown day over 245 00:19:52.119 --> 00:20:00.680 on Twitter, as they finally purged the legacy blue check marks. By the 246 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.319 way, I lost mine, not on the show account, but my personal 247 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.480 account had a legacy blue check mark, although I only had it for like 248 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.000 a very short period of time, and I'm sure I slipped through the cracks. 249 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.319 But what I didn't do when I saw that it was gone, although 250 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.640 I almost took a screenshot and was going to make a joke post about it, 251 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.480 but I didn't because there was too many people really flipping out and I 252 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.039 was too busy laughing on all of those idiots. I don't know that it 253 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.519 ever benefited me, because mostly I didn't tweet from my main account. I 254 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:44.839 would just use it to retweet stuff. However, although the only time there 255 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.400 was one time it benefited because like last year, somebody made a fake account 256 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:55.880 of me, which was they, and then they sent one tweet on the 257 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.079 account. Ever, because I reported in and that one tweet that they sent 258 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.720 went viral, and so I was more irritated that somebody made a fake tweet 259 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:11.000 about of my account sent a tweet and it was it performed better than I 260 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.160 believe any tweet on my personal account ever did. We've had show the show 261 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.119 account tweets have done well, but on my personal account it went went viral. 262 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.400 And so in that sense, the blue check actually was helpful if people 263 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.680 were trying to delineate, but other than that, it was just there. 264 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.200 And ironically I was trying to get the show account verified and I used I 265 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.000 entered my personal account to show that, and they ended up verifying my personal 266 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:45.880 rather than the show, which was irritating. But anyway, but it obviously 267 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.680 everyone was losing their mind. Who swears that they're leaving And I want to 268 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.079 say that that meme about it's not an airport, you don't have to announce 269 00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:03.279 your departure was probably utilized more or so yesterday than it had ever been utilized 270 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.519 in all of history. You had, you had Twitter. There were a 271 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.200 couple of Twitter accounts I follow that said they're gone. I'll tell you the 272 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.519 one that killed me is there's a Twitter account, and I would have recommended 273 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:23.680 you follow it prior to yesterday, because remember I used the show Twitter account. 274 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.960 People wonder why we don't follow back on the show Twitter account, and 275 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:33.279 it's because I really have it tweaked so that when I look at the feed 276 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:40.839 from it, it is useful from a story standpoint, right. So it's 277 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:48.920 mostly news sources or newsmakers sending news stories out so that I can scan it, 278 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:56.839 especially during the show, so during the show and then I can look 279 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.119 at just kind of that. So it's nothing person but with that in mind, 280 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.880 Scotus Blog. Scotus Blog was a Twitter account that whenever any whenever there 281 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.960 was Monday during the Scotus term, the Spring Court term, and there were 282 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.160 decisions coming down, they were arguably the best at just giving you the straight 283 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.559 dope, right, No NBC Spin, no Fox Spin, none of that. 284 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.200 When a ruling was coming down, you go to that Twitter account and 285 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.839 they were like that. So I did find them useful and I understand, 286 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.319 I actually understand their frustration. I think that they bring a lot of value 287 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.440 or brought a lot of value to Twitter because I wasn't the only one people 288 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:49.519 knew that Scotus Blog Twitter account was the best place to get instantaneous or as 289 00:23:49.559 --> 00:24:00.160 close to instantaneous Supreme Court rulings as possible. That being said, that being 290 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.000 said, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't. I have not paid 291 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.200 for a Twitter blue check, but I don't begrudge people who do who want 292 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:14.599 the features of it. Isn't there a way to monetize if you are a 293 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.640 Twitter account that gets lots of interaction? Or am I wrong? Was that 294 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.920 just a beta thing or they they're allowing people to monetize their Twitter accounts? 295 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.160 Correct? Yeah, you can still do that, and also you can you 296 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.680 have to qualify for it. I was looking at it yesterday. Actually, 297 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.759 where you can do you can hook up subscriptions to your Twitter account. Be 298 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.079 I qualify for it. I'm not going to do it, but I was 299 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.519 just, like, you know, interested, curious to see what it would 300 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.839 be, right. I want to see what it looked like during during the 301 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.799 Supreme Court ruling Scotus blog. Hold on, let me see how many should 302 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:52.240 spell Scotus right? Here we go. Yeah, we follow them. They 303 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.400 have six hundred and thirty thousand followers. I would assume that they're able to 304 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.799 monetize enough to cover the cost of the of the blue check, would you. 305 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.119 I don't know how it pays out. I'm going to bet that they 306 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.519 can make eight to eleven dollars a month off of that. They sent out 307 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.559 a tweet they said, by Twitter, by Twitter. The tipping point was 308 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.599 having to pay for verification when we feel we add a lot of value and 309 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.200 they do. And and here's the only here's the only thing that I would 310 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:29.960 say, But it turns into the old situation. There are Twitter accounts that 311 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.359 do add value, and I understand that it's subjective. And unfortunately, once 312 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.799 you get subjective, you kind of get back to the system that we had 313 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.960 where subjectively they thought the people who added value to Twitter were a bunch of 314 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.599 moon bats and Hollywood celebrities. Right. That's why you and you could go 315 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.960 and you'd see like or people who knew people at Twitter. You know, 316 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:59.839 it used to be it used to be that if you and I'm not talking 317 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.480 about the people who would literally pay for it, where you had people that 318 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:07.519 were doing that. It used to be if somebody had a conduit to somebody 319 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.200 who worked at Twitter, you just you send them an email and then they 320 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.039 would get them verified. And so you had these like activists who had six 321 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.599 hundred followers that were verified, and it was because somebody knew somebody, and 322 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.000 it was always seemingly activists on one side. So there is plain favorites. 323 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.599 But there are Twitter accounts like scotus Blog, and I've said this, Twitter 324 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.200 is a great way when it comes to breaking news that I think did add 325 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:38.599 value. I think people who figured out that the scotus Blog was probably if 326 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.200 you weren't standing on the steps of the Supreme Court, was going to be 327 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.519 your best way just to get the straight here's what they ruled, and then 328 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.000 you know, follow up with the documents you can draw your own conclusions. 329 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.000 And I think they did a good job of not looking partisan because it was 330 00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.960 just what it was. And I don't know. Maybe maybe Elon Musk would 331 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:03.920 have benefited from identifying accounts that did bring value. However, I think the 332 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.559 way he got around it was attempting to incentivize them to be able to make 333 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:14.119 money on it, because it got away from picking and choosing winners. So 334 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.359 now, if you want the features, you want the verification, with the 335 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:23.400 exception of gray checks, which are governmental accounts, could you could acquire those, 336 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:26.279 you can go and you can get the blue check, you can get 337 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.759 the verification, you can get the extra features, and some people are willing 338 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.640 to pay for him, and that's fine, that's you know, it's commerce. 339 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.759 So they said, we felt that we added value. We also feel 340 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.759 solidarity with NPR. And this is where they lost me. Remember NPR is 341 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.400 the one who didn't just ignore the Hunter Biden laptop story. They put a 342 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.519 statement out about how it's not a story and they don't want to waste everyone's 343 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.519 time. You can find and then they said you can find us on the 344 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:04.599 blog and TikTok. So wait, hold on, so you're leaving Twitter to 345 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:12.119 go to the Chinese government app. That doesn't. That doesn't. I thought 346 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.759 you were smart. And then it says if we I'm sorry, where were 347 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.160 you gonna say? I don't know how TikTok works. Do you get verification 348 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.319 like a check a pretty check mark on you can that you can? The 349 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:27.200 irony is gootis blog is not verified on any of the other social media account 350 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:33.720 of Cords, but also goes both ways because I see this argument and they're 351 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.640 like, oh, I'm adding value to your platform. Yeah, well you 352 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.519 can't do that without the platform. No no, no, no, it's 353 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.559 Twitter that's given you your relevancy because it's given you that platform. So how 354 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.279 about chipping in eight dollars to support it, your greedy bastards. Well, 355 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.079 but but I will say this, do you think do you think that? 356 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.240 All right? So we got Pete Calendar today, all right? In the 357 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.799 world of radio, we call that a benchmark, a benchmark segment, and 358 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.000 we track these things. So we got Pete Calendar coming up at eight oh 359 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.240 five yesterday, we had Mark Walker at eight oh five, and they are 360 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:18.480 recurring benchmark segments. Obviously those segments don't exist without this show existing, right, 361 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:26.319 But obviously the reason we do those segments is you enjoy them. Maybe 362 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.359 you personally don't enjoy them, but more people enjoy them than not. And 363 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.000 I can look at literally minute by minute ratings, I can look at second 364 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:40.519 by second to see what happens when we have those guests on, and believe 365 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:47.319 it or not, most guests are not a net benefit, so their segment 366 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.240 wouldn't exist. However they do. They do add value to it, and 367 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.680 these are things that we look at. So from a business person, not 368 00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.039 just because I enjoy chatting with Mark or chatting with Pete it's also there a 369 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.720 net benefit and therefore there's a benefit to you, believe it or not. 370 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.279 Ross and I do sound like half the time we just want to talk about 371 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.000 Godfather and Joe Dirt and any of the rest. However, we do actually 372 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.960 check to see if that stuff works. And based on Ross, you've seen 373 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.480 the ratings, I would argue that what we do, what we do works. 374 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.839 Would you agree with that, yes, I would. Okay, so 375 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.519 I understand that argument. I totally do. But remember it also if there 376 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.519 is a huge influx of people that when it's the during the Supreme Court session 377 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.680 that are going and they are viewing not just what a Scotus blog is tweeting 378 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.480 out, but also the reaction. Right you scroll the comments, that's where 379 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:52.759 you're seeing the ads, and so there is a financial benefit to Twitter there. 380 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.480 Now, I don't know how it's calibrated or how you would even determine 381 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.880 what that is. I'm sure they have tools internal tools to do that. 382 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:04.400 But you know, I thought they did a very good job of not being 383 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.319 partisan, and now they're like we're going to We're taking our ball and going 384 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:15.480 to TikTok. You just sound stood it's a symbiotic relationship. Absolutely, we're 385 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.720 giving you relevancy. Well you wouldn't have that without the platform, so I 386 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.799 mean, yep, yep, yep, totally agree. And then they wrote 387 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.039 if we joined another platform, we'll send word here. We'll wait a second 388 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.960 thought, you were leaving, are you? How are you going to send 389 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:37.200 send word there? I don't know, but people were losing their damn minds 390 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:45.480 over this yesterday, including Alexandrio Kasio Cortez. And and she's just so dumb. 391 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:52.920 I mean, I so somebody posted a screen shot, right, they 392 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:59.400 posted a screen shot yesterday of the City of New York, all right, 393 00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:05.440 so at NYC gov and they lost their blue check and they wrote, this 394 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.559 is an authentic Twitter account representing the New York City government. This is the 395 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:15.440 only account run by New York City government. And then somebody who duped the 396 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:22.480 logo so it's they took the same avatar logo and had an account that's NYC 397 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.039 underscore Government, which is obviously a knockoff, wrote no, you're not. 398 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.680 This account is the only authentic Twitter account representing and run by the New York 399 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.480 City government, obviously trolling them. I mean, I believe the second one. 400 00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.640 I think you should shoot the first one. Well, the Kirks shoot 401 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.960 the first one. They capitalized this, so I mean the name business right, 402 00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.880 so quartet, So she latched onto it, she says, jokes aside. 403 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.000 This is setting the stage for major potential harm when a natural disaster hits 404 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:58.200 and no one knows what agencies, reporters or outlets are real. All right, 405 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.759 Ross, do you remember before Twitter, when a natural disaster would happen 406 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:08.359 and everyone, everyone died. That was in just everyone. I mean there 407 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.759 was no Twitter. There was no way of determining what was real, and 408 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.680 everyone would just because they didn't have they couldn't go to a tweet and figure 409 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.400 out information. That's a great point, casualties everywhere. Remember on nine to 410 00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:28.880 eleven when everyone in New York died. I was in the Ork during nine 411 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.720 eleven. Yes, oh wow, you were the only one. You're like 412 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.839 snake bliskin, So good for you. I mean to to what AOC is 413 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:39.279 saying, I would my thing. I would simply go click the account and 414 00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:44.000 if there's millions of followers, I believe that's the real account. That's because 415 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.960 the other one and there's twelve people, I would probably say it's probably not 416 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.400 in the real account, I would say, Also, there's this other thing 417 00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.039 that I would do. Let's say I wanted to tweet at somebody and I 418 00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.480 couldn't figure out what their Twitter account is, because it's still kind of a 419 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.559 clumsy way to determine, even with checks, what the Twitter account is, 420 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.039 because you still got to hone in on what the addresses. If I wanted 421 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:10.079 to know like a business or some agencies Twitter account, I don't know that 422 00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:14.880 there's a website out there now where at some point you don't see the Twitter 423 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.280 and Facebook logos and Instagram logos on them, right, So I just go 424 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.079 to their website, which is easy to determine, and I click on their 425 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.159 little Twitter logo and lo and behold, there it is. And that's pretty 426 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.679 good verification for me. One extra step. But to your point, yes, 427 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:37.719 if you see five million followers, chances are you're probably onto something because 428 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.360 trolls, as in this case, tend to have like forty or fifty because 429 00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:47.199 that account's probably getting banned. And she tweets this, and then she also 430 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.760 all the while she has a great check mark next to her name, which 431 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.639 the City of New York would be eligible for because they're a governmental agency entity 432 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:02.159 or politician. But yeah, that was just some of the stupidity there, 433 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:47.519 all right, six fifty two, hang on, Hide, very good morning 434 00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:55.000 to do seven six hour number two here on your Friday pc O Day radio 435 00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:02.360 program. Glad to have you along and let us let us dive into this. 436 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.400 Oh, we do have to an update. We have to to an 437 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:13.920 update to a story that we did yesterday where I played the audio for you 438 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:21.280 of the transmil to female individual who just wanted you to know that if you 439 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:29.599 see them walking into a women's bathroom and you try to stop them, it's 440 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.679 not going to go well for you. Back a wild animal into a corner. 441 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.559 They're going to become a dangerous animal. So if you want to die 442 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.280 on that hill of yours, of righteousness and moral majority, then you go 443 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.679 right ahead. I dare you to try and stop me from going into a 444 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.119 women's bathroom. It will be the last mistake you ever make. All right, 445 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.320 And a lot of people are like, you know what, challenge accepted. 446 00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:59.280 Now Again, I don't know the laws specifically in the state in which 447 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:04.800 this individual will lives. I don't know any of I do know that yesterday 448 00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:12.800 they arrested a trans male to female who had a history of and apparently was 449 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:20.159 continuing allegedly to go in there and spy on young girls, right, and 450 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.679 that story it's interesting. I didn't see it too many places. You kind 451 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.960 of had to dig for it, but that was out there, and that 452 00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:34.679 is a concern that some folks have. Now. Admittedly, people who are 453 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:43.360 transmile to female and identify as female but are biological males going into the bathroom 454 00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:50.239 and using it is just them going into the bathroom and using it. That's 455 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:54.920 not discounting concerns or the awkwardness that others may feel in there, but they're 456 00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.199 going in there and because they have to use the bathroom, right, because 457 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.639 you know, ultimately, at the end of the day, most people are 458 00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:10.239 not sexual predators. However, it is in the concern that lies out there, 459 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:16.079 is it facilitates the ability to do so. Right Ross or I walk 460 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:23.199 into the women's bathroom, it's there. You know, it's it's going to 461 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:28.760 stand out and people are going to have concerns over that. So I think 462 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.239 we can be adults about this conversation. That's the thing that happened. However, 463 00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.480 in this case, they go on in this TikTok to detail a whole 464 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:43.480 bevy of threats, and I just I don't understand how you feel that's going 465 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:50.000 to bring people to your side. Well, as you can imagine the aggressive 466 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.920 nature of that TikTok and the fact that it got amplified, going viral on 467 00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:01.039 Twitter and other platforms, people had something and they had thoughts based on the 468 00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:06.920 fact that you know you're you're kind of threatening folks. Well that created a 469 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.159 new TikTok. Hello TikTok. I just wanted to say thank you to each 470 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.519 and every one of you who are leaving negative comments and death threats in my 471 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:20.599 comments section because you have proved my point. So thank you. So I'm 472 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.920 surely you proved your point. Well, what is your point because in the 473 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:30.320 thing that you said, you were the one who was threatening violence. So 474 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.880 go ahead and explain to me what your point is. Again, take a 475 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.360 bow. You've proven me right, You've proven my point. Who knew all 476 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:47.239 it took was getting some divorced, lonely guy on Twitter to notice me, 477 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.800 to get other people to see what I've been talking about, what I've been 478 00:39:52.840 --> 00:40:01.719 referring to. Huh, So, thank you to this Graham Lynn lynn Ham 479 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:07.679 or something like that Lynn Hamlyn Ham. So thank you, Graham, really 480 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:13.280 appreciate it. You again, you proved my point. Um. Sometimes that's 481 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:19.159 all. It takes what was your times out of ten? From what I've 482 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:23.159 noticed over the years of being a content creator, it takes the hateful people 483 00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:34.079 to make you go viral to help others see what's really going on. Okay, 484 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.760 Um, I have a question. Do you think which bucket of hate 485 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:42.679 we'll call it? Do you think caused that to go viral? Do you 486 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.800 think the the the hate on the part of Graham, whatever the I guess 487 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:50.800 she's tracing back. I thought it was on libs of TikTok, but maybe 488 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:59.119 that guy posted at first? Um, which do you think it was him 489 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:06.679 posting it? Or do you think it was you preemptively threatening anyone who may 490 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:12.000 have an issue? What do you think was the driver for why people reacted 491 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:17.000 to your TikTok? Because I kind of feel like it was the aggressive nature 492 00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:23.519 of your TikTok because there's a lot of and maybe because we're just we're so 493 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:28.480 deep into this where jaded where somebody says, I'm not going to be deterred. 494 00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.320 I identify as a female and I'm going to use the female bathroom. 495 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:37.119 But without threatening any violence. I don't think that goes viral anymore. Maybe 496 00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.639 back in the day it would have. I'm pretty sure it was the aggressive 497 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:44.920 nature of the way you delivered it. Right, It'll be the last mistake 498 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:51.000 you'll ever make. That's a preemptive challenge to folks. Some people don't have 499 00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:55.800 thick skin, like idea Ross, Do you feel that that individual has thick 500 00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:02.039 skin if they're immediately posting rebuttal stuff? Not at all? Okay, that 501 00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.440 was my first thought. I'm like, oh, know about all that thick 502 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:08.199 skin. The whole thing is nuts. Like the original video was like, 503 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:13.280 hey, I'm gonna murder you. Yeah, yeah, don't f with me. 504 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:15.800 If you're a woman and you you try to stop me from going into 505 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.559 your restroom, I'm gonna shoot you in the face. It's pretty much the 506 00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.800 interpretation of the first video, right. And then when people are like, 507 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.400 yo, buddy, hold up, hold up, what's up? What's up 508 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.000 with that? You just said? You're gonna like that sounds like a threat? 509 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:31.320 Man, You're like usually you're like pee wee herman fallen off the bike 510 00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:34.920 in Peewee's Big Adventure, where you're like, hah, I meant to do 511 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.719 that where you're like, oh, I was testing you and you failed. 512 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:44.559 Friday, we got a Peewee reference and a Godfather great and an Olive Garden 513 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:47.360 reference. What a show you all should say? You know what we need? 514 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.639 What's the what's the thing where people preemptively send us money? Was it 515 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:57.360 Patreon? We need Patreons because where else are you gonna get this content? 516 00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:01.320 All right? So yes, glad that was your interpretation as well, because 517 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.840 I'm like, I don't know about all that thick skin. Some people don't 518 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:08.199 have thick skin like I do. Some people can't defend themselves like I can't. 519 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:14.320 And those are the very same people that I stand up for. I 520 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.800 stand up for body autonomy. I stand up for women's rights, pro choice. 521 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.199 I do stand up for freedom of speech. However, you may have 522 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.920 freedom of speech, but you're not free from consequence amendment. I support my 523 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:31.559 Constitution. But what I do not support is hate speech. Oh I do 524 00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.840 not support transphobia, homophobia, racism. But any who. Again, thank 525 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.239 you from the bottom of my heart. I love each and every single one 526 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.920 of you out there. Thank you for the negative comments, thank you for 527 00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:52.280 the death threats. Thank you again for proving me right. I wish you 528 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:57.480 all the best. Right, have a bud light. Ah see, oh 529 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.559 look at that getting that in there in it you don't support hate speech? 530 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.559 I don't know. This sounds pretty hateful. Right to get back a wild 531 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.800 animal into a corner, They're going to become a dangerous animal. So if 532 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:13.280 you want to die on that hill of yours, of righteousness and moral majority, 533 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.519 then you go right ahead. I dare you to try and stop me 534 00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.079 from going into a women's bathroom. It, yeah, I'm just you know, 535 00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.639 it's just me. It's the timing of the video two. Right. 536 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.079 I know people have or the media has quickly forgotten, but we're not that 537 00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:35.480 far away from a trans person going into a Christian school and murdering six people, 538 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.480 including three children. And then your video is I'm going to shoot you 539 00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:42.000 in the face if you don't let me in your bathroom. Yeah, people 540 00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:46.159 are gonna have an issue with that. Man. Well, Ross, obviously 541 00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:51.880 this is hate speech that you're engaging in even bringing that up, right, 542 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:59.559 I mean, because that is that is essentially the justification for what has been 543 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:04.440 some very aggressive takes. Right. You got KJP over at the White House 544 00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:09.079 and she's and immediately their thing was trans people are under attack, they don't 545 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:14.559 um and or gun grabbing. But other than that, that's that's really what 546 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.960 they extracted. By the way, did you know the FBI is UM probably 547 00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.920 not going to release this is this is a crazy story. They're not going 548 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:30.719 to release what the shooter in that case wrote their their diatribe, which apparently 549 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:37.599 is has scared scared some over at the FBI. UH. It is referred 550 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:45.800 to as quote a blueprint on total destruction, the manifesto by the Nashville shooter. 551 00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.119 UH. The Nashville shooters manifesto described as a blueprint on total destruction, 552 00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.840 which the FBI is stalling the release of, UM, referring to it as 553 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:06.639 quote astronomically danger risks. Why is it astronomically dangerous? This is what I'm 554 00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.800 trying to understand, because the way that they're playing it off is that it's 555 00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:15.000 dangerous in the sense that some other crazed individual would read it and go, 556 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:20.559 you know what, that's a great way to go out and cause a bunch 557 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:23.480 of death and destruction, and then they would literally just take the game plan, 558 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:28.400 the blueprint and go out and enact it. And I kind of feel 559 00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:35.119 like that's being disingenuous. I think that people are reading this and they feel 560 00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:40.599 that they feel that by reading it, it may cause more people to question 561 00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:46.719 the mental stability of somebody who may identify as in the same situation, which 562 00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:53.239 isn't necessarily fair. Right, even if you feel that gender dysphorias a lot 563 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:59.320 of people do is an untreated mental condition because of the way that society and 564 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:04.559 the government deals with it. Now, it doesn't mean that anyone who identifies 565 00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:13.360 as the opposite gender of which they were born biologically is also bent on murder, 566 00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:20.480 right, because most people aren't murderers. And I have to wonder if 567 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:24.199 they feel that it's going to color people's opinion. And you know, the 568 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:30.360 thing is the very act may color people's opinion. I don't know that the 569 00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:36.559 manifesto necessarily contributes to that, So I'm very interested in what they're not. 570 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:42.440 The problem is is because of the current political situation, with it being a 571 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:49.360 federal justice department that is under a democratic administration, it's probably not going to 572 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:53.079 leak, whereas if it was under Trump and they thought for a moment it 573 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:59.000 could harm anything having to do with Trump or an issue that Trump is on 574 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:02.519 the side of. This thing had already been leaked, right if in that 575 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:07.559 manifesto, and remember the New Zealand shooter that went into that mosque. Remember 576 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:13.719 how immediately that leaked because and only parts of it and then eventually the whole 577 00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:19.559 thing. But remember how that leaked initially because they segments of it literally referenced 578 00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:24.840 quote unquote right right wing individuals. I do now if you, if you 579 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:29.280 read in its totality, you'd realize that this person was all over the place, 580 00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:36.559 just an absolute angry nut job and was taking not just inspiration, but 581 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:43.159 was citing a bunch of different individuals. I don't know that we'll ever see 582 00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:45.480 all of this. They say they're going to release parts of it, and 583 00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.440 I'm going to bet that the parts that they release are ones that are beneficial 584 00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:55.280 to the cause and not hey, this person hates Christians because X y Z, 585 00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.039 but rather I, you know, I felt bullied throughout my life because 586 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:07.480 of the way in which the you know, the Bible was applied to help 587 00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:12.119 counsel me by this past or things. Those are the things that you're going 588 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.159 to see. You're not going to see the part where they just sat there 589 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.559 and ruminated and decided that all trans people have to not that they speak on 590 00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:23.800 behalf of all people who identify as trans, but rather the politics is just 591 00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:29.400 so thick these days, it's crazy. We got to get into the Blinking 592 00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:34.000 story and the Merrick Garland story, which would have been the scandal of all 593 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:40.000 scandals. If it is as it's as it looks, should be a giant 594 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:46.920 scandal. These are people who hold some of the highest positions in the land 595 00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:54.760 Attorney General and Secretary of State, who appear to have manipulated the political process. 596 00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:00.840 And while it may not be illegal necessarily the way that they did it, 597 00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:10.039 it's definitely cancelable in their ability to have any credibility within the political process, 598 00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:15.519 and they should not hold those offices if it's true. And I cannot 599 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:20.480 imagine the feeding frenzy if all the roles were reversed, if you were talking 600 00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:29.079 about Bill Barr and you know, basically any Republican appointee. So we'll get 601 00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:35.400 into that story coming up seven twenty one. Also, this interview that MS 602 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:42.039 or CNN's Don Lemon did yesterday, I'm telling you this is why you see 603 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:52.000 this fervor to convince people one that they need the family, the family unit. 604 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.440 It doesn't matter woke ideology is what matters, and if people don't come 605 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:02.599 around to your side, it's important that you divorce yourself from them. And 606 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:10.719 the idea that anyone who is a white, straight male, Christian male is 607 00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:15.400 of a certain age is irredeemably racist. This is why you run around and 608 00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:22.320 you tell people everybody's racist, and it works. The grandson of the eighty 609 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.840 four year old man who shot and wounded the sixteen year old who went to 610 00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.559 his house to pick up his siblings is the story as we understand it. 611 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:37.480 He was interviewed by Don Lemon yesterday and he is the use of the most 612 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:39.679 useful idiot I've seen in quite some time. So we'll get to that story 613 00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:46.960 more coming up here on the Cacoday Radio program. Because I talked forever, 614 00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:50.559 but yes, we're going to get into this Don Lemon interview. Will do 615 00:51:50.719 --> 00:52:01.719 that coming up next here on the Cacoda Radio program. Hang on one oh 616 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:08.119 six one FM Talk and w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. 617 00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:21.880 This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. Okay, then all 618 00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:23.400 right, so I think I understand this. By the way, just y'all 619 00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:29.039 know Ross is apparently perfect, never made a mistake in his life. That's 620 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:34.360 what um, that's what I'm to understand here. Let me flip over to 621 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:38.000 this story. All right, So here he is. Here's the headline. 622 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:45.559 Only Fans Model facing backlash after she accidentally filmed a video with one of her 623 00:52:45.599 --> 00:53:00.199 subscribers who happened to be a minor. UM some questions ross you seem to 624 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:05.400 think she should be facing more than backlash. Just so I'm abundantly clear here, 625 00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:09.119 I mean that sounds like child pornography. I mean, yeah, but 626 00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:16.119 accidental accident. The word is accidentally, so it's not's how pornography people are 627 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:23.599 paying for it, and only fans he and he happened to be a minor, 628 00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:29.159 which is another way of saying accidentally. So there's two accidents here, 629 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:34.400 and unfortunately, two accidents led to this unfortunate event that the Only Fans Model 630 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.719 is now facing backlash. Four It's so simple, no, So here's the 631 00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.920 deal, and yeah, this is all right. So I read this, 632 00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.840 and I now read in another place, so I am clear. So in 633 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:51.159 the she in this is in Italy, she broadcasts out of Italy, and 634 00:53:51.519 --> 00:54:00.079 in Italy the age of consent is fourteen, which is yeah, but he 635 00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:04.679 was not under fourteen, which is given the impression of the first story, 636 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.639 he was under eighteen, and I believe it's in terms of service thing with 637 00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:13.400 only fans. Then obviously tobtos like they can't broadcast that to the world, 638 00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:16.400 right, So if you're going to you know, they're going to pick whatever 639 00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:22.960 number allows them to operate and broadcast in all countries. So if you're in 640 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.800 a country where the age of consent, you know a lot of countries, 641 00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:28.920 sixteen is the age of consent, A lot of Europe is that way. 642 00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:37.360 So Italy happens to be fourteen, they're going to require that the person is 643 00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:40.840 eighteen because if not, you couldn't broadcast that stuff in the United States. 644 00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:47.599 So in this case, persons under eighteen but apparently over it says just shy 645 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:54.840 of eighteen in this other story, but that's still child porn. So there 646 00:54:55.079 --> 00:55:01.280 is that the headline where they're like facing backlash. Well there's but if she's 647 00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:07.000 in Italy that she's not gonna face any legal ramifications apparently so, but maybe 648 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.440 she is. I don't know. Maybe it's illegal if they're under eighteen to 649 00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:14.559 film it. But it was an accident, so you're telling me, you've 650 00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:19.639 never accidentally filmed yourself making child pornography? No, I mean, okay, 651 00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:22.119 yeah, well hadn't happened to me either. But the way that they kind 652 00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:27.519 of couch it in this headline makes it sound like it's a common occurrence. 653 00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:31.599 So um, I don't think And by the way, I don't think she's 654 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:37.440 gonna fa face backlash. How many people right now are googling her name with 655 00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:42.320 nude or sex or some sex act next to it, Because we're all pervs 656 00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:45.519 and anytime there's a woman in the news like this, what's the first thing 657 00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:47.079 that guys want to do? Wow, wonder what she looks like naked? 658 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.119 So, if anything, it's probably going to be financially beneficial to her. 659 00:55:52.239 --> 00:56:02.360 That's how twisted things are, so honest mistake not at all about exploiting. 660 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:06.880 Now, I did see this. I was reading a story actually on where 661 00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:14.039 only fans girls are making viral TikTok videos. Now it's not there's no sex 662 00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.840 in there, there's no nudity. And they did have an example in this 663 00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:23.280 story of one of them, and it's smacks of pandering to try to get 664 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:30.480 underage people to subscribe, right, So, like they had this one this 665 00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:32.719 one only fans chick. And she's out there and she's you know, she's 666 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:37.480 dressed, you know, appropriately for being outside, and she's got a bunch 667 00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:43.880 of rapped presents, and she's intentionally stopping people who look like they're right on 668 00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:50.280 the cusp of eighteen and asking them if they want a free subscription or a 669 00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.800 mystery prize, or dinner with her or quote a night with her or a 670 00:56:53.880 --> 00:57:00.519 mystery prize. And the mystery prizes are like Apple AirPods and a TV and 671 00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:04.840 all sorts of stuff. Man, But in reality, she's promoting her only 672 00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:09.199 fans, and she's doing it with people who look like their high school seniors. 673 00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:15.320 And it feels a lot like the criticism the cigarette industry used to get 674 00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.920 for joke joke, Cammell. You know what I'm saying, we're using cartoons. 675 00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:24.119 That's why you can't use animated characters for vaping stuff or any smoking or 676 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:34.639 any of those things. Right. I'm glad that you have experienced in Italy, 677 00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:43.039 sir. That is I'm sending your email to the FBI anyway, So 678 00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:47.920 yeah, they're already you know that, that's already something where there was some 679 00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:52.320 concern, and it was some law enforcement was looking into it. I can't 680 00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.320 remember where it was filmed. It was in the US somewhere. But yeah, 681 00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:01.280 yeah, that's um as creepy as I'll get out. Man, I 682 00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:05.360 don't know. I guess now we're in the age of groomers, so maybe 683 00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:08.400 it's okay. And we just had literally the week I was on vacation, 684 00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:14.119 there were six female teachers in the US arrested for, you know, messing 685 00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:17.280 around with their students. That's right. I go away for a week and 686 00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:22.719 everyone thinks they can do whatever they want to do. Craziness, And I 687 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:29.559 suspect they'll all get much more lenient sentences than their male counterparts would. Although 688 00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:32.920 I gotta tell you, man, the quality of the female teachers doing it 689 00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:39.199 is slipping immeasurably gone. Or the days of Mary kay Laterno or that other 690 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:45.760 blonde one from Florida. So anyway, all right, well that's just there's 691 00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:52.840 some creepiness for your Friday. So Don Lemon was interviewing the grandson of the 692 00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.440 eighty four year old man in Kansas City who was arrested for shooting the sixteen 693 00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:01.159 year old who reportedly went to the wrong house to pick up his siblings now 694 00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:07.199 we don't know the totality of the story yet, but um, what the 695 00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:12.400 motivation immediately because it's an old white guy and the sixteen year old is black, 696 00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:17.360 is one that it was? It was because of racism. Ironically, 697 00:59:17.440 --> 00:59:22.559 we had multiple other stories out. You had this uh, this uh, 698 00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:27.039 this girl this uh in New York she was in the passenger seat of a 699 00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:30.760 car that pulled into the wrong driveway. Uh. In North Carolina in um 700 00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:37.280 Gaston County, we had a father, mother, and a six year old 701 00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:44.360 girl who were fired at by this career criminal because a ball went into his 702 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:50.719 yard or something and the father was was hurt very badly and he's on the 703 00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:53.119 run. They're looking for him. And all these stories. But of course 704 00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:57.920 the one that the White House keyed into was this Kansas City one because it 705 00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:02.679 has the right complain action makeup. But we don't know, We don't know 706 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.239 fully what transpired. We don't know what the motivation may have been. However, 707 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:12.440 we have this narrative for years and years and years that if you're an 708 01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:16.639 eighty year old man, white male, you're probably an ex clan member or 709 01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:22.000 you are you have deep seated racism. That's the narrative in fact, everybody 710 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:27.039 has deep seated racism who's white. And racism only can work in the one 711 01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.679 direction, it can't work in the other. And you know this is this 712 01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:35.559 is what they're shoveling on your kids. This is what's taught, and people 713 01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:39.639 eat it up. How do I know? They brought on the grandson of 714 01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:45.920 the man who, by the way, Roster, those look like dreadlocks in 715 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:51.559 the picture. This dude's sporting the grandson. It looks like Joe Durr at 716 01:00:51.559 --> 01:00:53.920 the end of the movie. I'm just saying, isn't that cultural appropriation? 717 01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:57.880 Shouldn't he be canceled for that? Anyway? So they bring him on and 718 01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.599 Don Lemon's interviewing him, and he asked him basically, he says his grandfather's 719 01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:07.400 racist. And Don Lemon wants to know and if if the if the kid 720 01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:10.639 had come back, I say kid, but he looks to be an adult, 721 01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:15.440 if the grandson had come back and said, yeah, you know, 722 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:21.360 the entire time I've growing up, whenever we're you know, whenever we're alone, 723 01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:24.440 all he talks about and uses the he uses the N word, talks 724 01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:30.400 about how much he hates black people. He considers the white race. You 725 01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:37.159 know, some pertinent specific example. That's what I was expecting, but that's 726 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:38.920 not what came. We're gonna get into the audio here in just a moment. 727 01:01:39.880 --> 01:01:45.400 Instead, he gave a much more interesting answer, which we will touch 728 01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:49.920 on when we return. But first, Jeff Eno from the Weather Channel. 729 01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:54.519 He's hanging out and hopefully you got a good weekend on tap or else, 730 01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:59.039 sir. What's going on? Not a whole lot. Today looks pretty good 731 01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:01.199 nowadays, going to be warm, gonna be a little sticky out there. 732 01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:05.719 We've got that Bermuda high pressure and also this is ahead of a cold front 733 01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:08.199 that is going to bring the rain it looks like for Saturday, but we 734 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:12.800 do recover nicely for Sunday. Now today we get up to eighty six degrees 735 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:16.440 that is ten plus degrees above average. Tonight, mostly cloudy, sixty for 736 01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:21.639 the overnight. Now for Saturday, showers become likely later in the morning. 737 01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:24.199 We could hear some thunder and we'll get up to seventy five. Showers stick 738 01:02:24.239 --> 01:02:29.119 around into the early part of Saturday night, and then we recover on Sunday 739 01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.840 with lots of sunshine to finish out the weekend and a little cooler than average. 740 01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:35.119 We head up to the upper sixties. So that is going to be 741 01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:37.840 a pleasant day there for Sunday. All right. It sounds a perfect Gulf 742 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:40.480 weather right like it? So, yep, yep, thank you, Jeff. 743 01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:44.079 We'll talk in an hour. Appreciate you, sir. All right, 744 01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:46.880 So, what answer did the grandson give to Don Lemon as to why his 745 01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:51.840 grandfather's a big fat racist. We'll share that with you. We got the 746 01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:58.280 audio next here on the case O Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter and 747 01:02:58.519 --> 01:03:07.199 celebrating ten years evening you Better Informed Talk and News w PTI more with Casey. 748 01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:12.760 He starts, now, all right, I do want to and I 749 01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:15.440 want to add one thing. I was talking about the guy in the shooting 750 01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:19.079 in Gaston County. Apparently he did turn himself in in Florida to authorities, 751 01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.039 so he's not on the run anymore, but he was so just you see, 752 01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:25.360 you have the latest news, all right. So I mentioned this interview 753 01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:30.079 with Don Lemon by the grandson of this guy in Kansas City, this eighty 754 01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:36.239 four year old man, and um, you know, I feel like context 755 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.000 matters. And so when Don Lemon was asking them, ir, so, 756 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:42.559 what makes you think your grandfather's racist? I thought there was going to be 757 01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:46.679 some specific examples. And don't get me wrong, there's some racist people. 758 01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:52.800 There's some race especially when you get into older generations. They exist. They 759 01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:59.559 exist. Man, it's out there. And I could cite there's a couple 760 01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:02.079 of people that I've interacted with over the years where I'm just like, wow, 761 01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:05.880 okay, then, and you know what I did. I didn't interact 762 01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:13.280 him with him anymore. And frankly, I could cite specifically what they said, 763 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:17.400 and you know exactly what was said and the time and the place and 764 01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:23.800 all of that where it happened. So this being his grandfather, obviously he's 765 01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:28.239 interacted with him, obviously a lot more. Maybe he's gonna have some specific 766 01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:32.199 examples. Before I play the audio, I want to share with you who 767 01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:38.320 his name is, Clinton Ludwig Ludwig the grandson. If you go over to 768 01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:41.400 his Twitter account, Rossie, have you seen his Twitter account? I bet 769 01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:45.159 have you seen it yet? It's I have not bonkers all right. So 770 01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:50.760 in the description right in the bio, it says, quote, I am 771 01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:56.760 a human male, haile satan. We don't have to listen to the lunatic 772 01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:01.239 ravings of this paranoid hippie trans writes a brands flag, abolished prisons, a 773 01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:08.840 cab which stands for all cops are bastards BLM, and his pin tweet is 774 01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:13.920 f this country, America is broken, slipping backwards into a dangerous era. 775 01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:19.159 I feel for all my LGBTQ plus friends and anyone with the womb. You 776 01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:23.599 all have been under attack for far too long. All right, So just 777 01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:30.639 you know, just a little glimpse into what he considers to be important to 778 01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:34.519 him, things he wants you to know. All right, let's go ahead 779 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:38.239 and get into this. So here is that. It's about a minute. 780 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:42.880 This is the snippet of the interview where Don Lemon's trying to figure out whether 781 01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:46.679 the grandfather's a racist, because that's the narrative and even though we don't we 782 01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:51.400 don't know any of this stuff, right, and his grandson, who was 783 01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:56.800 more than happy to come on CNN and throw his granddad under the bus. 784 01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:01.000 Here we go. Do you believe your grandfather is racist? I believe he 785 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:09.039 held and holds racist tendencies. He believes. Why do you say that he's 786 01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:13.639 just the stock American Christian male. It's older, you know, That's just 787 01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:17.440 how they are. It's the conspiracies and weird, random racist things and they 788 01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:21.239 say, yepp so and it doesn't make sense, but they're just scared. 789 01:06:23.400 --> 01:06:28.000 Listen, you're generalizing a lot here about you said, older Christian white males. 790 01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.199 But what do you mean by that? What do you mean they're scared? 791 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.159 Talk to me more, please, Yeah, just I feel like a 792 01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:40.199 lot of people of that generation are caught up in this twenty four hour news 793 01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:45.639 cycle of fear and paranoia perpetuated by some other news stations. And he was 794 01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:48.760 fully into that, said, and watch Fox News all day every day, 795 01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:54.800 blaring in his living room. And I think that stuff really kind of reinforces 796 01:06:54.880 --> 01:07:00.519 this negative view of minority groups and leads people to be overness and doesn't necessarily 797 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:05.039 lead people to be racist, but it reinforces and galvanizes racist people and their 798 01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:09.119 beliefs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, So no specific examples 799 01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:13.360 other than he watches Fox News, but it is this, uh, well, 800 01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:16.280 if you're an older white Christian male, obviously you have racist tendencies, 801 01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:20.920 and then you watch the Fox News and it gets amplified. And I guess 802 01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:25.960 my question would be, you have all of these other instances that literally happened 803 01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:30.719 during that same week, but Obviously it's not white male on black victim. 804 01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:36.559 So what may have motivated that. I feel you were less disingenuous if you 805 01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:41.679 just came out and said it's guns. But also, some people are crazy, 806 01:07:41.880 --> 01:07:45.440 Some people are crazy paranoid, and some people are also living in an 807 01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:54.079 environment where the people from law enforcement leadership, mayors and district attorneys have yielded 808 01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:59.400 to the idea that we don't need to be incarcerating or punishing people. That's 809 01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:04.000 a real that's a reality. Kansas City is one of those places where it 810 01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:11.280 is a reality. Now, whether that whether the grandfather did think, you 811 01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:15.519 know what, any any black mail comes to my door is obviously a burglar 812 01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:18.399 and I'm just going to shoot him and ask questions later, or if there's 813 01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:24.800 something else that transpired. We don't know. We don't know any of this. 814 01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:30.760 But the generalizations of bringing this this this guy on this grandson, when 815 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:33.720 if you just dig into him for more than thirty seconds, you realize he 816 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:39.199 is all in on this. He's not a he's not somebody who is a 817 01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:43.760 neutral party who's just trying to interpret things based on his own experience. He's 818 01:08:43.800 --> 01:08:50.279 all in on this. One believes it. He's he and he believes it 819 01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:55.880 over even family members. M Ross, You said that one of his other 820 01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:00.800 grandkids came out and said that this grandkid's full of crap, right, yeah, 821 01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:03.560 yeah, his brother. Yep, his brother. Now maybe the brother's 822 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:08.239 full of crap and this guy's one hundred per I don't know, but it 823 01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:11.640 seems mighty irresponsible to put him on and just let him run that garbage. 824 01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:16.119 And then he's talking about twenty four hour news cycle instilling fearing people while he's 825 01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:25.000 sitting on CNN with Don Lemon, who who wanted to know whether a black 826 01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:30.399 hole sucked a jetliner in? But also more importantly spent the four years of 827 01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:35.079 the Trump presidency and also the time you know, during the when he was 828 01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:41.600 running and then obviously post presidency, instilling fear that the Russians were controlling our 829 01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:47.399 government every day he showed up on the set. But it fits the narrative, 830 01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:51.760 and that's a narrative that's pounded twenty four hours a day on CNN. 831 01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:58.399 Obviously Fox goes in a different direction, and yes, they're twenty four hour 832 01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:00.760 news cycle, and you that they're doing a bunch of look I roll my 833 01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:06.520 eyes watching Fox News. Also, I'm just one of these. Just give 834 01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:09.880 me this, this straight dope. And there are people on Fox that I 835 01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:12.840 think do a good job of it. But I also recognize who's an opinion 836 01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.479 person, who's the news person. Lemon's always claimed to be a news person. 837 01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:19.640 He's clearly an opinion person. Frankly, probably not long for this world 838 01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:27.159 considering all the stories that have come out about him. But to not even 839 01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:30.600 ask him about some of his other beliefs is crazy, if only to give 840 01:10:30.680 --> 01:11:12.479 context. All Right, get morning, everybody, and welcome eight o seven 841 01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:16.520 hour, number three year on your Friday. Boy, what a week, 842 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:20.479 What a week it has blown by. And as a capper to it, 843 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:25.720 as we usually do, our radio buddy to the South, Midday's WBT and 844 01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:29.560 Charlotte Pete Calendar joins us, this morning, how you doing, sir? 845 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:33.079 Hey, I'm good. It's been a little while. Yeah, I mean 846 01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:36.960 not because of anything I've done. No. I see in the tweet that 847 01:11:38.039 --> 01:11:45.720 you sent out, you you you libeled and slandered me. Expect service later. 848 01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:48.439 Um, it's only it's only because I've I missed the discussions, I 849 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.640 miss our chats. Dude, I get a lash out. I was hurt 850 01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:55.720 and so I lashed out. I apologize. It's okay, that's okay, 851 01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:57.800 I had you know what, it was good. We all got to get 852 01:11:57.800 --> 01:12:00.520 a little vacate time and all that. I will tell you it was. 853 01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:03.119 It was really interesting. So part of the part of the trip I was 854 01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:10.199 in Colombia and yeah Carolina, uh no, no, the the other one 855 01:12:10.600 --> 01:12:14.680 with all where they have all the the cartel stuff. Um I did. 856 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.720 I did resist the urge to start a narco empire though, so good. 857 01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:20.840 Okay, that's good. Yeah, but you know, more so I did 858 01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:30.520 see the cocaine hippos though, so yeah. No. But on a more 859 01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:32.279 serious side, what was interesting, and you know, it went to place 860 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:36.159 like what to pay And I mean, I love traveling. There's all sorts 861 01:12:36.199 --> 01:12:40.880 of cool stuff and everyone makes the Columbia jokes. But on a more serious 862 01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:45.520 note, it was interesting talking to Colombians because they're terrified right now, some 863 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:49.760 of them. They're terrified from a political standpoint. Do you know what happened 864 01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:56.680 in Columbia during the last election. Um no, I don't think I do. 865 01:12:57.159 --> 01:12:59.520 By the way, I also found out that you did you know when 866 01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:03.119 there's an election that they suspend the sale of alcohol for three days in Colombia. 867 01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:06.359 Can you imagine it toward that here in the US. Yeah, right 868 01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:12.199 before the election or after the election, to the day, the day before, 869 01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:15.079 the day of, and the day after and the day after. Interesting. 870 01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:16.920 Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I wouldn't you just buy a whole bunch 871 01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:21.039 beforehand? Well that's what they do, but I don't know, just one 872 01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:25.920 of those weird rules. But no, it was interesting because one of the 873 01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:30.319 things that you'll see in Colombia is and I wasn't even on the border of 874 01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:36.000 Venezuela. I wasn't up in like um Santa mart Martin or Santa Martin or 875 01:13:36.039 --> 01:13:40.680 whatever that is. I was in. I was in medin and Guatepe. 876 01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:45.199 So I'm in the interior part of the country, and there are Venezuelans everywhere, 877 01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:48.239 many of them just living on the street. Obviously, with what happened 878 01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:53.359 in Venezuela, you have this huge influx into Colombia and it's it's really sad. 879 01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:58.800 Man. Yeah, but Columbia signed up for the same thing. So 880 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:04.439 the last presidential election, they essentially they they elected a new president who was 881 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:08.560 like, where you're gonna get everything for free, It's going to be a 882 01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:12.119 socialist paradise. All of that. This is the direction that they went, 883 01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:15.600 and this is why this is at the same time that their country is covered 884 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:21.119 with Venezuelan refugees. Right there, if ever there was an example, right, 885 01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:25.600 if ever there was an example to like look in your literally in your 886 01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:30.039 streets to see the ramifications of these policies. Right. Yeah, there's there's 887 01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.199 a there's kind of a main street in this area called Laurellas, which is 888 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.920 a nice area of MEDAINI and that's less Intento, which is just Spanish for 889 01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:42.279 seventy um, so it's seventieth and it's where all the higher end bars restaurants 890 01:14:42.760 --> 01:14:46.000 there. And there's another area called Pablado, which these are These are the 891 01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:48.920 really nice These are the Beverly Hills area, if you will, right, 892 01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:56.079 the big houses, um, the really nice restaurants, bars, Disco Texas 893 01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:00.800 they call him down there. But and it's just there's just venezuel Island refugees 894 01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:04.479 everywhere. But it's also where where the politicos are going to be, right 895 01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:12.159 um. And they people are terrified, they're immediately their currency. One of 896 01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:16.439 the reasons that I included Colombia in that trip is it it's it's half the 897 01:15:16.560 --> 01:15:20.840 price of what it used to be information. I know it's shocking, but 898 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:26.760 I am I'm constantly baffled. Now. Obviously we get a version of that 899 01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:30.840 here where politicians can run on, hey, vote for me and you won't 900 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:32.479 have to pay your student loans anymore, stuff like that. But this is 901 01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:38.760 that on steroids, and I I just don't I don't understand it. Maybe 902 01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.680 you and I don't have the right mindset to understand how so many people can 903 01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:48.399 get duped by that insanity. It's well, I mean, well, I 904 01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:51.600 want to say it was. Rush Limbaugh used to say, you're you're competing 905 01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:57.199 against Santa Claus. Yeah, I mean when you go up for an election. 906 01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:00.840 I mean, I remember hearing um few years ago with Noah Rothman from 907 01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:06.600 Commentary magazine, and he said, it really is amazing that conservatives win any 908 01:16:06.680 --> 01:16:14.039 elections at all, considering that their primary philosophy is vote for us, we 909 01:16:14.159 --> 01:16:17.319 will do nothing for you. And right, that's our philosophy, is that 910 01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:21.800 the government shouldn't be doing like any of these things that it's doing, and 911 01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:25.800 the other side is saying, oh, we'll do all this stuff for you. 912 01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:31.079 And it's a very attractive it's an attractive cell because people want to be 913 01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:35.439 relieved of the burdens of this life. And I mean the look, life 914 01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:41.239 is difficult, right, life is hard. There's tragedy and pain all around 915 01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:45.199 us all the time. And sometimes people I just you know, give me 916 01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:48.560 the blue pill and I will go back to sleep, you know. And 917 01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:54.880 I think a long time Christopher Ruffo just did a speech in Budapest actually about 918 01:16:55.079 --> 01:17:00.279 and talked about this very this very topic, and that in America we have 919 01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:04.319 been uniquely positioned to get taken over through this long march through the institutions because 920 01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:10.079 because of our separation of church and state. Right, because of that tradition, 921 01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:15.199 we have allowed the state to grow as this sort of secular religion. 922 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:20.920 And that then has you know, because of our tradition of separating church and 923 01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:24.600 state. We say, well, and I understand people like, there's no 924 01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:28.119 separation of church and stay in the constitution. I understand. I'm just pointing 925 01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:30.600 this out. That's our tradition is like, let the government do this, 926 01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.880 let the religions do that, but you have the protection of the religion. 927 01:17:33.079 --> 01:17:38.840 But the problem has been is that the people who are for limited government and 928 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:45.960 are Christian now are left with no way to transmit their values because the government 929 01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:51.239 has grown so large and it has taken over all of these sort of institutions 930 01:17:51.319 --> 01:17:57.479 in society that used to be just by norm was run by us, right, 931 01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:00.680 like our civical organizations and such. We would just do these things ourselves 932 01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:04.960 through our churches and local groups. But as government got bigger and bigger, 933 01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:11.000 and conservatives lost that war about the size and scope of government. Now we 934 01:18:11.119 --> 01:18:14.319 are left, and this is what RUFO pitches is we are left to use 935 01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:20.880 the levers of the state in order to transmit conservative culture and standards to the 936 01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:28.239 next generations. Yeah. Yeah, And meanwhile we're producing three hundred page how 937 01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:31.880 to grow a how to grow the debts ceiling responsibly? Right, it's not 938 01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:36.359 even the issue of this is insane what are we doing? It's how about 939 01:18:36.439 --> 01:18:40.520 we do it? And we compromise about how fast we're going to do it. 940 01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:43.680 And then that, of course is rejected out of hand because the endgame 941 01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:47.159 was never compromised from the other side, right. And then you get our 942 01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:53.800 pal Scott Huffman, perennial loser candidate and Democrat Moonbat, who you know is 943 01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:57.479 out there saying in order to just pay your bills and like that's what they 944 01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:00.880 distill this conversation down to. First of all, okay, let's pay our 945 01:19:00.920 --> 01:19:02.760 bills. Yeah, we can't afford it. We're spending more money than we 946 01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:05.840 take in, so we cannot pay the bills. Okay, now what right? 947 01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:12.159 And when you you know, when you make these these are right stupid, 948 01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:17.760 immature slogan pitches to the electorate, and you say, look, you 949 01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:21.840 don't understand the Federal Reserve, fractional banking, you don't understand all these things. 950 01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:25.880 I'll just tell you it's a very simple slogan. Pay your bills. 951 01:19:25.960 --> 01:19:28.760 Oh yeah, it's okay, pay our bills, and then you don't have 952 01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:30.479 there have to peel the onion back. This is I know, I'm not 953 01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:33.199 going to get into like this is not a pitch to go to the abortion 954 01:19:33.279 --> 01:19:39.079 debate, but it's one of the reasons why I welcome the Supreme Court decision 955 01:19:39.159 --> 01:19:44.760 because for my entire life, literally my entire life, we were not having 956 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:48.720 the debate about abortion and what is a reasonable standard, how many weeks is 957 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:51.560 too many weeks? When does life begin? All of those questions were sort 958 01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:56.560 of put aside because we didn't have to have the discussions because well, you 959 01:19:56.640 --> 01:20:00.039 know, Rov Wade settled the topic. Let's move along, and most of 960 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:04.279 the citizens of America did not need to have any kind of in depth exploration 961 01:20:04.560 --> 01:20:09.159 of the issue. Now we are having it, and this is what it 962 01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:12.319 looks like. And it doesn't mean that the pro life side is going to 963 01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:14.840 win every time, where the pro choice side is going to win every time. 964 01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:16.760 I don't know what's going to happen, but this is worth having. 965 01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:20.800 This is dare I say it? This is what democracy looks like. Oh 966 01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:24.279 no, no, no, no, you gotta say it through a bullhorn. 967 01:20:24.359 --> 01:20:26.880 Man, If you don't see any bullhorn, it doesn't count. And 968 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:30.640 then just one last thing on it too. And also I'm talking to you 969 01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:34.399 know, on several occasions, I'm talking to some of these Colombians down there 970 01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:40.800 and there they are under They were of the opinion that the reason that they 971 01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:45.880 have Venezuelans everywhere is because the US refused to help. And I explained to 972 01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:48.880 them, I said, do you know that after you guys, obviously due 973 01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:57.520 to your proximity, the US has the most Venezuelans refugees from from when when 974 01:20:57.680 --> 01:21:00.800 when everything crashed? And that's true, that we do. I happened to 975 01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:04.720 happen. And I explained this and because from Venezuela, right, yeah, 976 01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:09.720 yeah, yeah, they have, but they were fed this constant stream of 977 01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:15.439 quasi government funded media there. Uh that of course did the bidding of the 978 01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.800 now current president down there, and UH basically ran that and said, you 979 01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:24.159 know, the US hates you, so when they tell you that this stuff 980 01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:27.680 is not you, you shouldn't want to emulate the way that their economy runs. 981 01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:31.600 And so that it was. It was baffling to me. And one 982 01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:36.279 thing I don't do really is talk politics because that's not my country. Right 983 01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:40.279 when I'm traveling, I'm not going to get into it. But it was 984 01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:44.239 very it was very eye opening, UM to see that this is what this 985 01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:47.159 is what a bunch of people signed up for, and the disinformation that that 986 01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:51.800 was was part of the presidential campaign. And now I'm sitting here and we're 987 01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:59.159 seeing these stories Pete where Merrick Garland and UM and the the Secretary of State 988 01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:06.840 UH may have been complicit in getting this letter of fifty intelligence people UM forward 989 01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:12.359 saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was all garbage. In any other era, 990 01:22:12.720 --> 01:22:15.600 this would be a major scandal here in the US, wouldn't it I would 991 01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:19.399 think so. Yeah. I mean, you've got all of these former Intel 992 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:25.319 Community chiefs and officials that all signed onto this letter, and it was done 993 01:22:25.439 --> 01:22:30.840 at the behest of now the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln or Anthony blinkoln but 994 01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:33.680 he was a member of the Biden campaign at the time, and he reached 995 01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:39.479 out to Mike Morrell, who was, you know, a retired CIA leader, 996 01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:44.239 and he then got the letter drafted and got all of the signers, 997 01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:47.920 uh you know, to to well the signatories to the letter, which then 998 01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:54.720 of course was put out in order to camp down the veracity of the Hunter 999 01:22:54.800 --> 01:23:00.359 Biden laptop emails and information that had that had dropped as this October surprise. 1000 01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:02.560 Of course, we now know number one, the laptop was legitimate, the 1001 01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:09.159 information on it was legitimate. It does document that Joe Biden lied about not 1002 01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:14.359 having any interaction with his son about his business dealings, right, that was 1003 01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:17.640 a lie, and Joe Biden then cited this letter as proof that it was. 1004 01:23:18.520 --> 01:23:24.079 It was all the Russia misinformation campaign during the debate, and he attacked 1005 01:23:24.119 --> 01:23:28.800 Trump for promulgating quote this lie. But there's you know, there's also this 1006 01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:33.840 idea here that going back to like the big Tech component where you had roundtable 1007 01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:41.840 war game strategy sessions going on where they literally crafted this example of Hunter Biden's 1008 01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:45.800 laptop gets released, you know, a hack and dump misinformation campaign by the 1009 01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:49.720 Russians just mere weeks before the election. Okay, tech companies, how do 1010 01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:54.159 you react to this? Right? They literally had conference, They had a 1011 01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:59.359 conference on this weeks before this happened, and they knew the laptop existed. 1012 01:23:59.479 --> 01:24:03.199 The tel community knew that the laptop existed because they had been given it almost 1013 01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:09.039 a year prior. So. But you line these all of these pieces of 1014 01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:12.680 evidence up and it becomes very clear what occurred, and it's it's kind of 1015 01:24:12.800 --> 01:24:15.760 terrifying. I just know we're gonna make a swift change just because I only 1016 01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:21.000 have three minutes. Obviously, you've seen this bodycam footage of Raleigh PD, 1017 01:24:21.199 --> 01:24:28.479 Capitol police having a rally of their own prior to going busting up the reopen 1018 01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:32.479 n see thing. You hear the one officer refer to the people as mffers, 1019 01:24:32.479 --> 01:24:38.119 which is interesting because bodycamp footage during the burn it down riots where officers 1020 01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:41.960 didn't speak to protesters, but we're talking amongst themselves. They were actually punished 1021 01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:46.520 for being derogatory about the protesters. There's obviously different ways the protests. The 1022 01:24:46.600 --> 01:24:51.399 latter protests were handled. My big concern is already we have a problem with 1023 01:24:51.640 --> 01:24:56.359 the community and police. So when you see a big video of rank and 1024 01:24:56.479 --> 01:25:00.439 file standing, they're ignoring the protocols with the mass everything, referring to people 1025 01:25:00.439 --> 01:25:04.880 as m efforts. I don't know that the relationship between between police and community 1026 01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:09.720 can take another hit. This is really bad. And now they're dragged. 1027 01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:13.560 They drug the woman who was arrested back into court, the holder in contempt 1028 01:25:13.720 --> 01:25:16.239 yesterday. This is all right, So what are your in two minutes? 1029 01:25:16.319 --> 01:25:19.920 Just what are your thoughts on this? Because this is bad all around man, 1030 01:25:20.359 --> 01:25:24.840 right number one, to your point about lack of trust with the community, 1031 01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:28.000 there is you know, on the political right, there has been long 1032 01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:32.520 standing support for the rank and file police officers. This video undermines that and 1033 01:25:32.640 --> 01:25:36.760 at some point when you lose you know that other half. Now we have 1034 01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:41.920 serious problems, right number number two. Yes, you've got the rank hypocrisy 1035 01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:45.319 of the law enforcement agents that are standing around assembled without masks, not socially 1036 01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:50.560 distancing, about to go and make arrest of people who are assembled, not 1037 01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:55.960 wearing masks and not social distancing. Numbers three cases they were in their cars, 1038 01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:59.600 they were actually social distance. Yeah, so right, and number three 1039 01:25:59.840 --> 01:26:02.000 there was no law being broken, right, These people were not breaking laws. 1040 01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:06.640 These were executive orders and they were being recommended saying don't do these things. 1041 01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:11.560 Right, And so this was obviously what prompted the viral tweet from the 1042 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.680 Raleigh PD that said, you know, protesting his non essential activity. And 1043 01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:19.600 look the captain that's on the recording there, it's very clear, like he 1044 01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:23.680 tells everybody, make sure you put your masks on and make sure you do 1045 01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:27.359 it all by the book, because the optics dictate that I have to look 1046 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.119 like I'm taking this ppe stuff and this you know, these protocols seriously, 1047 01:26:30.439 --> 01:26:34.000 even though we all know it's a big joke, right, and this is 1048 01:26:34.039 --> 01:26:36.560 the most infuriating part of it. And now, yes, they're going back 1049 01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:42.079 after what's her name, Atsuri, I believe, yeah, yeah, and 1050 01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:45.279 they're going back at They're going after her again. And look, this is 1051 01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:49.600 this is an attempt to send a warning to the normans, to people who 1052 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:54.520 are trying to be law abiding citizens. This is your warning, all right, 1053 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:57.840 that you will be punished. We will drop the hammer on you, 1054 01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:02.640 So shut up, go home. Don't object to any of our our lockdown 1055 01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:06.359 edicts going forward. This is the morning. Yeah, I gotta roll, 1056 01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:09.800 but thank you very much. I appreciate it. So we'll talk week this 1057 01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:23.760 week and we'll be back. Well. Show after the show's on the iHeart 1058 01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:28.560 radio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeart radio app. 1059 01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:39.960 Because you know, that's been the that's been the narrative forever, right, 1060 01:27:40.199 --> 01:27:44.079 video games making kids go out and do all horrible stuff. I know, 1061 01:27:44.359 --> 01:27:48.159 Um, it almost became kind of it became kind of a meme. 1062 01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:54.000 Right. So there's some footage floating around out there, and basically it's a 1063 01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:58.000 video game that's in development, and it's a combination of two things. One, 1064 01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:03.760 it's the signers of the video game. The game is called Unrecord all 1065 01:28:03.840 --> 01:28:08.800 right, and it's a real life bodycam footage essentially, and you're running around 1066 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:12.560 and in the uh, the sample you see there's, um, they're clearing 1067 01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:17.239 they're clearing a house of bad guys and the protagonists is shooting them. It's 1068 01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:24.119 like any first person shooter really in that sense. It's but it looks real 1069 01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:29.680 and it's combined with the unreal engine, which is basically a building block. 1070 01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:33.680 These engines are building blocks of games. There's a couple big ones out there. 1071 01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:40.359 This seems to be the one that is the most progressed, newest, 1072 01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:46.760 and really really really really hyper realistic. And it was interesting because I'm watching 1073 01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:51.119 the footage and it looks like it looks like any first person shooter. Right, 1074 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:54.600 You're running around, there's bad guys, you shoot them, and you 1075 01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:58.039 know you gotta you gotta pay attention to how many rounds you have in your 1076 01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:01.319 firearm, you switch it up, you relow, do all that. But 1077 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:05.439 it looks as realistic, I think as any game I've ever seen, Like 1078 01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:11.159 you're almost watching footage, and even the death spasms of the guy who's shooting 1079 01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:14.640 there pretty you know, the body just doesn't disappear as they do on some 1080 01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:18.800 games. And it was interesting because I saw people who I guess are wheels 1081 01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:28.560 in the video game sector, right streamers and developers and things like that, 1082 01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:32.760 and some of them are making the argument that once it looks like actual video 1083 01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:39.960 footage, now it could have those negative effects because it decens. It's all 1084 01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:43.560 the arguments that you heard from when remember when Doom was out and they were 1085 01:29:43.600 --> 01:29:49.159 making these stupid arguments, but now that it looks so real, it could 1086 01:29:49.279 --> 01:29:56.000 actually desensitize people to violence and cause real world violence. All right, So 1087 01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:00.039 ross you buying any of that garbage? I mean, I saw the and 1088 01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:02.399 I was it was okay. It didn't look any different from a lot of 1089 01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:04.800 other games I've seen. I saw, and I saw their feedback. We're 1090 01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:06.600 like, oh, it looks amazing. I'm like, I've seen games that 1091 01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:11.840 look like this. I gotta be honest, I don't know that I've ever 1092 01:30:11.920 --> 01:30:14.800 seen a game that looks bad. Well, it depends on how you play 1093 01:30:14.840 --> 01:30:16.199 it and how slow you're moving, because I've seen there's a game, what 1094 01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:21.079 is it called um it's on game passed now as playing. It's The Communist. 1095 01:30:21.079 --> 01:30:26.039 It's the game where you're playing like a communist utopia where the robots turn 1096 01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:28.079 on you. And there's certain segments of that game where you can watch, 1097 01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:30.479 you know, twenty second clips you're walking really slow, and it looks just 1098 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:34.640 as good. And if you're on PC and you turn up like the we've 1099 01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:38.720 talked about Atomic Hearts. I played that game. It looks amazing at certain 1100 01:30:38.760 --> 01:30:41.279 points. It just depends on the video that you see of it. Or 1101 01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:45.199 I saw a video twenty seconds of Dead Island two yesterday where it was like, 1102 01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:47.880 you know, a bloodstained bathroom and it looked, it looked good, 1103 01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:53.159 it looked I don't understand what the everybody's I don't know. Do you think 1104 01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:57.319 if it ever gets to the point where you're unable to tell the difference between 1105 01:30:57.479 --> 01:31:01.039 actual video? Do you know I believe we're in the simulation, so okay, 1106 01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:04.479 all right, well let's say it catches up with the realism of the 1107 01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:10.279 simul simulation. Okay, sure? Do you think at any point that there 1108 01:31:10.520 --> 01:31:15.960 is a legitimate argument that it desensitizes people? And I ask it like this, 1109 01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:18.159 did you ever watch I don't know, if you ever watch did you 1110 01:31:18.239 --> 01:31:24.159 watch and did you watch like the Daniel Pearl video the journalists they be headed 1111 01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:26.720 or any of them? I don't want to watch that. Yeah, I 1112 01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:30.199 know, but just hear me out on this, yeah, or any of 1113 01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.279 those videos where they were marching the guys around in the orange suits over in 1114 01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:36.119 Somalia and killing them, um, and you know they videoed all this, 1115 01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:43.520 or even the faces of death stuff. It hits you different than what is 1116 01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:46.039 clearly graphic animated violence. Yeah, I think I could get to the point 1117 01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:49.399 where it's too much because when it comes to those videos like I've never I 1118 01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:54.199 don't like the faces of Death stuff, and I don't like um like the 1119 01:31:54.279 --> 01:31:57.399 Orange Jumpsuit videos that never watched them. I'm okay, people, I sit 1120 01:31:57.439 --> 01:31:59.159 there, like, I watch the whole thing. I'm like, how could 1121 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:01.840 you do that? I'm not gonna do that well and the other the other 1122 01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:05.479 piece of that, because I saw people making that argument is with Orange Jumpsuit 1123 01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:11.279 or Daniel Pearl. I knew going in what I'm watching right, that that's 1124 01:32:11.359 --> 01:32:15.279 real, that actually happened, versus watching thirty seconds of you running around yeating 1125 01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:20.239 a horse off of a cliff for money because you're an animal abuser digitally. 1126 01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:27.600 But so if you know that going in, you can prepare your brain for 1127 01:32:27.720 --> 01:32:30.720 what you're about to watch. So you could watch somebody like you could watch 1128 01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:35.159 somebody be beheaded in a movie, right, and you know, you know 1129 01:32:35.359 --> 01:32:38.880 what it is? What was the movie I watched the other day that had 1130 01:32:39.520 --> 01:32:44.840 or last weekend and The Snowman, which is not a really great movie, 1131 01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:48.520 but it was on Netflix or something, and in it there is a there's 1132 01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:54.199 a very realistic looking photo of a guy who killed himself or he well spoiler, 1133 01:32:54.199 --> 01:32:57.359 he didn't kill himself, but where he had blown his top of his 1134 01:32:57.439 --> 01:33:00.119 head off with a shotgun and they didn't. They lingered on that for a 1135 01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:04.600 little while. It was very gruesome. But it's also a movie versus I've 1136 01:33:04.720 --> 01:33:09.359 seen a video or not a video. I've seen a photo of somebody who 1137 01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:15.920 did shoot themselves with a shotgun and had a decidedly different reaction because I knew 1138 01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:19.359 that that really happened, versus this being not, you know, just just 1139 01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:24.880 being a movie, a serial killer movie. So I think that they were 1140 01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:29.439 failing to include that in the conversation yesterday. So, but they were able 1141 01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:32.319 to achieve a communist utopia though, and then the robots screwed it all up. 1142 01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:38.119 Yeah, yeah, the robots. The malfunction. You finally get it 1143 01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:42.439 right, right, This is a stupid AI oh man, that's how they 1144 01:33:42.520 --> 01:33:45.159 gets you right there, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven 1145 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:51.840 eight seven four The phone number here you want to you want stupid? Here 1146 01:33:51.920 --> 01:33:59.079 we go. The dark Wizard of the US House of Representatives, who, 1147 01:33:59.119 --> 01:34:01.720 by the way, I didn't really she's ranking member on this Transportation committee. 1148 01:34:02.199 --> 01:34:10.079 She is the most powerful Democrat on the Transportation Committee, this congresswoman from Connecticut, 1149 01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:16.319 and so she's talking about she's extolling the virtues of Pete Boota Jedge and 1150 01:34:16.399 --> 01:34:24.079 what a great job he's doing. And I'm gonna play it for you. 1151 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:27.760 I feel like we got some big issues going on right now. And I 1152 01:34:27.920 --> 01:34:31.119 think that especially as it pertains to the performance you've seen from Pete Boodha Jedge, 1153 01:34:31.479 --> 01:34:36.079 even if you want to extoll positive things, I feel like we're really 1154 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:40.760 scrape and bottom of the barrel here. But here is what apparently the most 1155 01:34:40.800 --> 01:34:45.640 powerful Democrat on the Transportation Committee feels is the real feather in the cap for 1156 01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:51.039 our current Transportation secretary, who also plan to make important investments to address the 1157 01:34:51.199 --> 01:34:57.680 roadway safety crisis, including the critical funding that would accelerate the development. And 1158 01:34:57.760 --> 01:35:00.520 this is an area I've written to you a out of the use of female 1159 01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:06.479 dummies and crash testing. This will start to fight the gender inequity among vehicle 1160 01:35:06.560 --> 01:35:15.359 safety and crash victims. I guess I didn't know. I didn't realize is 1161 01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:21.079 there was so we have gender equality or inequality in crash test dummies. That 1162 01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:27.520 is Representative de Lauro from Connecticut, who is again the ranking member on the 1163 01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:31.479 committee. There, that's our biggest issue in the world of transportation. Huh, 1164 01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:36.399 right there, inequality in because I see a lot of I see a 1165 01:35:36.439 --> 01:35:42.039 lot of a lot of pushback on Republicans where they're like, um, you 1166 01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:45.039 know, they're they're not concentrating on the big issues. It's just a bunch 1167 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:49.359 of you know, it's a bunch of virtue signal on their part, or 1168 01:35:49.479 --> 01:35:56.119 its uselessness like participation trophy legislation, things like that. This woman is taking 1169 01:35:56.239 --> 01:36:00.720 her time as the ranking member, ignoring all of the actual concerns that might 1170 01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:05.359 be out there or wins if she wants to approach it from a partisan standpoint, 1171 01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:11.680 and apparently has been working tirelessly on making sure that the crash test dummies 1172 01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:16.880 are female as well as male, which, by the way, also you 1173 01:36:16.960 --> 01:36:21.800 can extrapulate that into the larger conversation of well, wait a sec I thought 1174 01:36:21.840 --> 01:36:28.119 there wasn't a difference, and you know, just so you know what everyone's 1175 01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:30.680 up to in Washington, right there? All right? Forty five Jeff Eno 1176 01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:35.840 from the Weather Channel and standing by alrighty sir, let's go ahead and get 1177 01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:40.560 a great weekend on tap. And I like what you said last time, 1178 01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:43.760 so hopefully it didn't change. It it didn't change. We're still looking at 1179 01:36:43.880 --> 01:36:46.119 rain Saturday, but that's gonna be it. We go into Sunday, boys, 1180 01:36:46.159 --> 01:36:49.760 Sundays looks and looking very nice. We've got a lot of sunshine a 1181 01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:54.960 day, but it is definitely warm. We're running ten plus degrees above average 1182 01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:58.039 for the high today as we got up to eighty six, and then tonight 1183 01:36:58.079 --> 01:37:00.680 we're mostly clouding. Overnight low sixty. It's close to ten degrees above average. 1184 01:37:01.039 --> 01:37:04.920 Cold front running through tomorrow. Showers become likely late in the morning. 1185 01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:10.159 May hear some thunder seventy five for the high, showers on into the early 1186 01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:13.840 part of our Saturday night, and then the highlight of course coming on Sunday, 1187 01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.279 with sunshine and upper sixties for that afternoon high. Nice and cool and 1188 01:37:16.399 --> 01:37:20.359 dry and lots of sunshine for Sunday. All right, Jeff, appreciate it. 1189 01:37:20.439 --> 01:37:23.079 Hav a good weekend, sir, Yes, sir you too. All 1190 01:37:23.159 --> 01:37:36.479 right, we'll come back chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on now celebrating 1191 01:37:36.560 --> 01:37:42.800 ten years and still going strong. Thank you. Casey is on nine four 1192 01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:46.239 five w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in the 1193 01:37:46.399 --> 01:37:50.920 triangle. All right, good morning eight Sue Bloomberg. Update now, Jeff 1194 01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:55.479 Bellinger, what's happening? Okay, s good morning and happy Friday. You 1195 01:37:55.560 --> 01:38:00.399 had some disappointing quarterly results from AT and T. Also, economic into caters, 1196 01:38:00.439 --> 01:38:05.000 reinforced investors, recession worries, and remarks from feteficials who favor more interest 1197 01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:10.880 rate hikes all weighed on the stock market yesterday. Major averages had modest losses. 1198 01:38:11.000 --> 01:38:15.800 Shares of Bedbath and Beyond we're down thirty five percent yesterday. There's growing 1199 01:38:15.880 --> 01:38:19.279 speculation the company will not be able to avoid a bankruptcy filing. Shares of 1200 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:24.439 Procter and Gamble are moving higher. Pre Market investors are pleased with P and 1201 01:38:24.479 --> 01:38:29.000 g's quarterly results. That's helping the blue chips. The ADAW futures are up 1202 01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:32.199 twenty eight points now. SNP and NAZDAK futures both a little bit lower. 1203 01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:38.560 New Census Bureau data reflect the impact of white collar layoffs and the technology and 1204 01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:43.680 finance sectors. The number of people and high income households who are collecting unemployment 1205 01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:47.800 benefits has surged over the last year, nearly one hundred fourteen thousand adults and 1206 01:38:47.880 --> 01:38:54.359 households with annual income of at least two hundred thousand dollars are receiving jobless benefits, 1207 01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:57.920 more than six times as many as a year ago. Twitter is making 1208 01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:00.800 good on that threat to remove blue check marks from the accounts of users who 1209 01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:05.479 don't pay for the marks that are meant to verify that postings were actually made 1210 01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:11.600 by prominent people. Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Pope Francis, and Donald Trump 1211 01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:15.319 are among the non payers who have lost their check marks. Hundreds of corporate 1212 01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:19.960 employees of Whole Foods Markets will beginning layoff notices. The chain, though will 1213 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:25.119 not be cutting workers and its stores or distribution centers. A second round of 1214 01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:30.920 layoffs was announced by Chlorox, two hundred positions being eliminated now, and BuzzFeed 1215 01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:34.960 is closing its news operation. It's cutting one hundred eighty jobs. And Casey 1216 01:39:35.119 --> 01:39:41.760 Tesla apparently decided it cut the prices on its Models and Model X electric vehicles 1217 01:39:41.840 --> 01:39:45.359 too deeply. The automaker has bumped up the prices on the high endvs by 1218 01:39:45.479 --> 01:39:49.840 twenty five hundred dollars each and even with these increases, though the prices on 1219 01:39:49.920 --> 01:39:55.039 the vehicles are still cheaper than they were at the end of the first quarter. 1220 01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:58.560 Casey, all right, Jeff, appreciate it. Have yourself a good 1221 01:39:58.600 --> 01:40:00.239 weekend, sir. You do the say we'll talk Monday. Take care. 1222 01:40:00.479 --> 01:40:04.640 All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. Ah, 1223 01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:12.680 speaking of Twitter, just checking out checking out the bio here Ross on the 1224 01:40:13.000 --> 01:40:21.439 show account, which reads not a FED no cap for real, for real 1225 01:40:21.840 --> 01:40:29.479 slash host. What was their assertion that I was a FED or you were 1226 01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:32.159 a FED man. It's been up there for a while. I know I 1227 01:40:32.239 --> 01:40:39.359 was on vacation, so that's true. Yeah you were. And then well 1228 01:40:39.399 --> 01:40:47.119 it did say it did say your mom's affiliated media slash host. And then 1229 01:40:47.439 --> 01:40:51.920 it reads morning six to nine no hold on. Then it reads are you 1230 01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:58.039 saying there's more? Oh, there's more. Then it reads mornings from six 1231 01:40:58.119 --> 01:41:03.279 to nine on one or six one w TKK four five w PTI yeah, 1232 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:14.279 And then and that is actually accurate. Then it reads followed by at Hayes 1233 01:41:14.439 --> 01:41:19.000 for sheriff. That is true. It's also true. Why have you Why 1234 01:41:19.079 --> 01:41:24.680 have you thought it necessary to include that nugget of information? I wanted to 1235 01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:30.560 see how long it would take you to see it. I LA I was 1236 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:33.840 giggling while doing it. That's not shameless self promotion. Not I'm not one 1237 01:41:33.920 --> 01:41:39.960 for self promotion. You've mentioned that at times, though I've questioned whether that 1238 01:41:40.159 --> 01:41:45.279 is in fact true. So yes, when did you When did you do 1239 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:49.960 that? I was yesterday? Oh well that was yesterday. Okay, Well 1240 01:41:50.079 --> 01:41:53.479 hasn't been up that long then, Oh the other stuff has been right, 1241 01:41:53.640 --> 01:41:57.560 Yeah, No, I didn't pay attention because I was I was on VYK. 1242 01:41:57.840 --> 01:42:01.159 All right, I'll fix it for you. How what do you mean 1243 01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:05.039 by that that you're going to fix it? You know what? I don't 1244 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:08.960 even want to know. We'll just wait and see. And one of the 1245 01:42:09.159 --> 01:42:13.159 dumbest things, speaking of Twitter, that I had to wade through yesterday was 1246 01:42:13.239 --> 01:42:18.319 all of these nitwits who were really excited to because they thought that they could 1247 01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:25.079 dunk on Elon Musk over the rocket launch yesterday, which if you didn't see 1248 01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:30.319 this, and one of the things that I would encourage you to do is 1249 01:42:30.439 --> 01:42:34.640 to not just watch the video, which is basically, this rocket, which 1250 01:42:34.720 --> 01:42:40.840 is a giant rocket, takes off and it gets to I believe thirty eight 1251 01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:45.800 thousand feet it starts yawing. Basically, it went to release one of the 1252 01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:49.720 sections, and it didn't. So when it spun, it started spinning the 1253 01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:55.119 whole rocket, which is a problem, and they detonated it so and then 1254 01:42:55.159 --> 01:43:00.520 it fell into the Gulf of Mexico. There people were doing. People were 1255 01:43:00.600 --> 01:43:02.960 like, oh, it's the Challenger, Elon's an idiot, all the rest 1256 01:43:03.000 --> 01:43:06.159 of this. But I would encourage you, when you're analyzing this story to 1257 01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:11.920 also see a picture where you can see the workers around this rocket so you 1258 01:43:12.079 --> 01:43:16.680 truly understand the size. It's as big as a sky it's the it's by 1259 01:43:16.840 --> 01:43:21.399 by double. It's the largest rocket we've ever attempted to lift off. And 1260 01:43:21.520 --> 01:43:27.039 the point of the rocket yesterday was not to go to space and fly around 1261 01:43:27.079 --> 01:43:30.000 and do stuff. The point of the rocket was to get it off of 1262 01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:35.520 the pad and get it into the upper atmosphere as close as possible so that 1263 01:43:35.680 --> 01:43:42.720 they can get all that data see what issues it's It literally did exactly what 1264 01:43:42.920 --> 01:43:45.199 was supposed to do, and arguably even a little more. I don't think 1265 01:43:45.199 --> 01:43:47.239 they thought it was going to get that high before it ran into an issue. 1266 01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:50.960 It's amazing, and to Rossa's points, the size of a skyscraper. 1267 01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:56.960 It's crazy. And all of these these idiots around there like, Look, 1268 01:43:57.039 --> 01:44:00.600 they can't even launch a rocket except he's launched literally hundreds where there have not 1269 01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:05.680 been issues. But this is a new rocket. This is this is gigantic, 1270 01:44:06.079 --> 01:44:11.520 and it uses a propulsion system that is different than all previous And I 1271 01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:15.319 would also encourage these idiots. Have you ever heard of NASA? Did you? 1272 01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:18.960 Did you happen to see what that looked like at the beginning of NASA 1273 01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:25.920 or whenever they developed a new rocket. This is part of the process. 1274 01:44:27.159 --> 01:44:31.079 This was it did exactly what it was supposed to do. And even I 1275 01:44:31.159 --> 01:44:36.399 saw one of the Krasenstein's was excited about it. Literally not it was not 1276 01:44:36.600 --> 01:44:40.079 dunking on elon. So I don't know, man, all right, So 1277 01:44:40.159 --> 01:44:55.399 I updated the Twitter by dear god Ah actually followed by you know what, 1278 01:44:56.960 --> 01:45:01.119 it's the weekend. I'll deal with it on Monday and we'll talk to you 1279 01:45:01.199 --> 01:45:02.640 then. All right, have a good much
