1
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.800
All right, good morning everybody,
and welcome. It is Wednesday, and

2
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:23.559
uh oil boy, thank you Microsoft
teams for rebooting three times this morning.

3
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.960
Appreciate that, not using you.
Okay, all right, that got that

4
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:38.320
remedied. Oh, just counting down
the days. Eight The number is eight

5
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.079
and then Ross and I are going
to get fired for about two and a

6
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.119
half weeks. So you hate to
see it, but it's an annual thing,

7
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:56.479
all right, coming up on this
show as they literally fight Microsoft teams

8
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.960
for the privilege of opening Microsoft word. I don't know my Microsoft's able to

9
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.719
do one thing but not the other
thing. Very singular focused, but thank

10
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.599
you for all of those updates,
all right, coming up on the show.

11
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:18.400
I I'm failing to understand the Nicholas
Cage that that's right, I'm teasing

12
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.120
this first. Just deal with it
of failing to understand the Nick Cage thing,

13
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.640
because like, I don't know that
this dude's out of debt. And

14
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.079
if anyone has followed Nick Cage over
the last few years, by the way,

15
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.439
I got no beef with the dude. I like Nicholas Cage. Okay,

16
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:45.040
however, go to Netflix and just
search by movie for Nicholas Cage.

17
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:52.120
He's done like thirty movies. You
have no idea exist in the last like

18
00:01:52.239 --> 00:02:00.159
what two years? Maybe it's crazy
and what was it? What was the

19
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.359
thing with him? It was?
Was it all tax issues? I can't

20
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.199
even remember. But like, dude
has been banging out movies and now he's

21
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:16.159
like, I may retire. So
I feel like we need to talk about

22
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.639
that. Because who doesn't like Nicholas
k You may not like the movies in

23
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.080
you may think he's a little mean
worthy with his delivery, but generally,

24
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.319
and I'm not really talking about the
hey, I need to pay the irs

25
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.400
movies, but like, generally,
if you watch a Nicholas Cage movie,

26
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:45.360
you're entertained, right, You're not
going into it expecting big stuff. What's

27
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.000
your favorite Nicholas Cage movie? I
was just trying to think about this.

28
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.800
Is it national treasure? A lot
of people like that. I will tell

29
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.560
you what mine is, and I
hope to god y'all have seen it,

30
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.080
and if you haven't, go out
and watch it. Are you familiar with

31
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.719
the little flick called Raisin Arizona?
Yeah, that's the jam right there.

32
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.159
Ross you ever see Raising Arizona?
Of course? I have? Okay,

33
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.199
dude, I'm sorry, and this
makes me a horrible person. That little

34
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.039
cut scene where the biker is shooting
the rabbit off his bike, that's great.

35
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.560
I don't know why that makes me
laugh so hard. It's a great

36
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.759
movie. Is that? Would you
say that's your favorite? Nicholas kaf That's

37
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.960
right, I forgot. That is
a good movie. And I arguably,

38
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.000
if you were to tally the movies
we've referenced on the show over the years,

39
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.879
it's had a pretty prominent spot.
So Uh, anyway, Nick k

40
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.479
yes, again, this is where
I'm starting because this is what I was

41
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.400
fascinated with this morning as I was
doing my research. Uh, if you

42
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.080
go to if you go to Nick
Cage IMDb, it's you're gonna be scroll

43
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.120
in a while. And he's doing
weird stuff. He's doing horror flicks.

44
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:11.080
He's doing movies where he doesn't talk, which I have not seen that still,

45
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.439
Ross saw it, like he doesn't
talk during the whole movie, and

46
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.160
I keep a movie and he drinks
like grape grape soda the entire time.

47
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.720
It was like it's like a one
of those what is it the five Nights

48
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.000
at Freddy's or whatever before five Nights
at Freddy's say, you know, these

49
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.000
animatronic things come to life and they
try to take over the arcade. It's

50
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.879
a great performance. What's the What's
now? I'll tell you the one that

51
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:40.120
I thought was really interesting is him
playing himself, but himself if he's a

52
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:47.879
douche so he's he's the actor,
but he is he's a different version of

53
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.600
Nicholas. I mean maybe I don't
know, maybe that is how he is.

54
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.920
And that one was pretty funny.
That came out a few years ago.

55
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:02.199
But Cage, who's set to turn
sixty next month, said I might

56
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:08.839
be done with the movies. The
actor said at this point, maybe you

57
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.600
know, three or four different projects
he's already either committed to or he's talking

58
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.800
about. But after that, I
want to quote leave cinema on a high

59
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:25.199
note. So but then he starts
talking about doing TV and stuff. I

60
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.879
don't know, man, I'd hate
to see him go. You know why,

61
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.240
because Nicholas Cage is still one of
those Have you ever seen Nicholas Cage

62
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:39.319
tweet stupidity? I never have.
I'm maybe it's out there, maybe somebody

63
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.399
can dig it up. But you
know, I like the guys that are

64
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.879
just there to act just you know, entertain Sometimes they do, sometimes they

65
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:53.000
don't. People have bad movies.
But like, I don't know how Nicholas

66
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.600
Cage feels about Gaza, and I'm
cool with that. I'm not sure how

67
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.720
he feels about trans athletes. I'm
fine with that. And I feel like

68
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:09.720
that era of actor, or at
least the ability of an actor to be

69
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:17.680
like that is probably woof. That's
probably going by the wayside, man like,

70
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.560
because they're especially among young actors trying
to break in. One of the

71
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:28.839
ways that they're going to appeal to
moonbat producers or movie folks or fellow actors

72
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.600
who are activis is you know,
they got to be down for the struggle,

73
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.240
and I think very few actors are
able to uh to slip that.

74
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.040
One good example of I guess you
would say younger actor though he's you know,

75
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.160
he's not eighteen, would be Chris
Pratt. And what do they do

76
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:58.360
for sport? They just write Chris
Pratt sucks articles in many media outlets because

77
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.920
like, dude just wants to make
movies, make jokes, have a family,

78
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:12.399
occasionally eat meat. He raises by
himself. And I don't know if

79
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.079
you're gonna be able to have these
actors who don't want anything to do with

80
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.600
it. Now. Don't get me
wrong, there's obviously very old actors who

81
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:23.160
won't shut up. De Niro,
I guess would be the prime example with

82
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:28.319
stories we've had recently. But I
don't know. I get a little nostalgic

83
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.920
over this stuff. And that's insane
that I'm getting more nostalgic over actors,

84
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.800
not because of their acting, but
because they don't tell me how to live.

85
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.959
They don't. They don't tell me
I suck because I have an opinion

86
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.120
that doesn't jive with Hollywood's right.
They're not getting up and screaming like a

87
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:56.639
lunatic, going and grabbing their phone
to give a speech. They're just there

88
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.240
to make movies. And again,
some are good, some are not.

89
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.720
But that's the game, man.
So yeah, let's ruminate on that.

90
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.160
Right there, we have a little
more. There, We've got Santa News

91
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:20.920
Keith Oberman speaking of lunatics. Oh
yeah, here we go. And speaking

92
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.480
of down with the struggle, I'm
gonna need you to be down with the

93
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:31.439
struggle tomorrow. And I really torn
as to whether you go all in on

94
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.919
the request or just out of sheer
stupidity, you go one hundred and eighty

95
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.279
degrees on this and this has to
do with the Washington Post, everybody's favorite

96
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:50.279
publication, and I'm almost i almost
feel like I have an obligation to do

97
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.240
the opposite of what I'm being asked
to do. However, in a way,

98
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960
you're sighting with Jeff Bezos. At
that point, the whole thing's done,

99
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.639
so we'll get that for you,
and it's gonna be this. I

100
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.240
was just counting the number of stories
that I hope to get to today.

101
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.639
It's easily, probably five or six
more than we normally do. So we're

102
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:18.720
gonna be bouncing around cause it is
what we do. And Lieutenant govern we

103
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.200
should have Lieutenant governor today. I'm
very interested how the trip to Israel went.

104
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.759
So that's just a little of what's
on our plate. It is the

105
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.399
KCO Day Radio program. Hang on, This is one O six one FM

106
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.440
Talk in the Triangle and Near's Talk
ninety four five WPPI and the Triad.

107
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.519
All right, six twenty one,
Welcome back. It is the KCO Day

108
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.919
Radio program. Oh, where to
go? Where to go? Where to

109
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.320
go? Oh wait, hold on, just looking at this email. Then

110
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.559
Ross and I were talking about something. Oh, okay, good, I

111
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.200
thought somebody was saying negative things about
raising Arizona. No, yes, absolutely,

112
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.399
sir, all right, good,
good, good. I knew that

113
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.799
our audience would have the best taste
on this topic. Yeah, if you've

114
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.919
never seen it, you should watch
it, and it holds up. I

115
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.480
watched it, I don't know,
maybe like six months ago, and I

116
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.600
was concerned because it is kind of
a goofy movie. But no, it's

117
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.960
good man, so do that.
Here's what you don't do though, all

118
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.679
right, So hypothetically, I don't
have an electric vehicle, so I'm not

119
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.559
I'm not one hundred percent on any
issues that may arise in cold weather.

120
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:52.440
But I know how batteries work,
and let's face it, cold weather not

121
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.399
great for batteries. I don't care
whether it's your cell phone. Right,

122
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.919
If you have your cell phone and
it's zero degrees out and you're outside all

123
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.200
day, your battery is not going
to last as long as it would if

124
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.120
it was eighty. That's just reality, and that obviously extends upward into other

125
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:22.679
batteries, car batteries and even the
giant EV batteries. So with that in

126
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.399
mind, and again, maybe somebody
with an EV can help me here because

127
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:33.279
I don't fully understand it. There
is a concerning trend, and that is

128
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.399
people coming up with their maguivering ways
to heat up their EV battery. And

129
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:46.720
I don't even know why you would
do this. And it was quite a

130
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.679
doozy that culminated yesterday, according to
authorities, a fire which claimed not just

131
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.679
an EV but also an adjacent house. And it wasn't even the house of

132
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.159
the dude who owns the alle electric
car, was his next door neighbor.

133
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.840
A fire broke out after a EV
driver decided to warm his battery by placing

134
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:20.120
toasters under his electric vehicle, which, by I have questions, like I

135
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.519
was just thinking the how tall a
toaster is, and then I was also

136
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.039
thinking of every electric vehicle, I
don't know how you'd get a toaster under

137
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:35.840
there. But also how at no
point does this idiot's wife not come out.

138
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.240
I'm I'm going to play into the
dumb husband trope for just a moment,

139
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.039
because as I was reading this,
even before they finally identified the gender,

140
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:54.759
I just knew it was a dude
because at first, for just a

141
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.759
split second, I'm like, maybe
that would work, Maybe that you know,

142
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.320
you don't put it right on there. You're not slipping cables into the

143
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.200
toaster. But the fact is it
didn't work and as a result, heated

144
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.799
the battery. It was successful there
to the point of catching fire, destroyed

145
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:20.519
the vehicle and damaged his neighbor's house
with a fire that I guess hit a

146
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.919
garage and a few rooms, but
thankfully they were able to get it put

147
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.600
out. Yeah, according to police, the cause of the fire most likely

148
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.039
to be found in the toaster the
owner of the car placed under the front

149
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.919
of his car to keep the battery
warm. Do you all know what a

150
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.159
block heater is. I'm assuming that
technology is it has to be something that

151
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.679
can be expanded to batteries. And
I don't know, maybe you don't know

152
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.600
what a block heater is, but
if you've lived anywhere where he actually gets

153
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.559
really cold, it's a thing,
and it's a really useful thing. And

154
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.440
we had block heaters and all our
vehicles and you know, and that's why

155
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.919
you see those vehicles where it looks
like there's an extension cord sticking out of

156
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.080
the grill, although nowadays they hide
it a little better. But back in

157
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.879
the day, every truck in Wyoming
had a damn cord sticking out of the

158
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.399
grill man, and you plug your
vehicle in, not because it's an EV,

159
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.159
just to because it's going to be
forty below that night. So I

160
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.399
don't know why that technology doesn't exist
there, but authorities would like you to

161
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.399
know to not put a toaster under
your vehicle. And by the way,

162
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.840
as I go through the article,
they then go over a bunch of other

163
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.039
scenarios, including you know, like
the little little heaters you get that.

164
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.039
You know, if you got a
cold spot in your house, right,

165
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.840
you got the little block, the
little thing that's about the size of a

166
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.480
half microwave heats it up. Don't
put that under there. Don't put a

167
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.600
mister, buddy, do you know
what that is. That's that's the pro

168
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.679
pain heater that people use in like
cabins or if they go ice ice fishing.

169
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:11.960
Don't put that under your vehicle.
All have resulted in fires, including

170
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:18.360
one, okay, including one person
who actually put hot coals under their vehicle.

171
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:24.080
I don't care whether you have an
electric vehicle or regular one. At

172
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.480
what point are you sitting there shoveling
hot coals under your vehicle and it never

173
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.440
for a moment goes you know this
could end horribly, and apparently the answer

174
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:43.840
is it. It's not something that
crosses some people's minds. As as I'm

175
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.679
sitting here looking down the list,
I think at that point they just take

176
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.039
your license away from you and you're
just done. No more driving for you.

177
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.840
But uh, yeah, that was
uh. I want to say it

178
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:03.200
was a heartwarming story. But there's
a certain satisfaction I get. And I

179
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.840
think it's because then you're like,
you think of the dumb things you've done

180
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.399
that didn't end in this, and
you feel just a little smarter than these

181
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:17.360
these folks here. All right,
don't worry. We have actual news.

182
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:25.200
It's not all Nicholas Cage and idiots
with toasters, including congressional news here in

183
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.200
North Carolina, a little bit of
a surprise. I'll give you the details.

184
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.840
I have a theory and I and
and by the way, it's more

185
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:41.759
than a theory. I'm I'm convinced
I'm correctly, and that is that journalists,

186
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.720
and I use that word loosely,
of course, they want another Trump

187
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:56.480
turn, I think more than Trump's
supporters do, because I think they feel

188
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:03.279
like they're fighting the good fight.
They're doing what they maybe when they were

189
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:08.799
young and in college and idealistic.
They thought, is the work of a

190
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:15.279
journalist, right, They're they're inspired
by what the Washington Post did with Nixon

191
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:22.279
and the Pentagon papers and you know, just insert whatever it is. They

192
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:32.759
feel like they're fighting a definable enemy
and their work is going to propel them

193
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.920
and not just to notoriety, but
also show how they work in the defense

194
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.759
of people right and society. Just
this this real idealist, uh idealistic thing

195
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.880
that doesn't really manifest in reality most
days when you're reporting on just the stupidity

196
00:17:52.920 --> 00:18:00.480
that's out there, because like the
Atlantic, their whole thing that the did

197
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.519
the other day with their series of
articles is all straight like TDS man,

198
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.599
our own local media has been running
op eds about how, you know,

199
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.200
a second Trump term now this is
don't worry, this will be the one

200
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:23.480
that manifest into you know, Hitler. They weren't wrong, they just yeah,

201
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:30.480
they didn't predict the timeline correctly.
It's just dumb. So you pair

202
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.119
one of these idiots at the Atlantic
who just put out a laundry list of

203
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:42.559
TDS style Trump Derangement syndrome style articles
predicting the end is nigh, and you're

204
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:48.039
nothing more than the dude on the
street corner with the sandwich board that everyone's

205
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.519
ignoring and he's screaming. And then
you take that guy and then you take

206
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:57.359
him in and sit him down with
Jake Tapper, who occasionally does acts of

207
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:03.079
actual journalism when it comes to Trump. Yeah, not so much, not

208
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.000
so much. And you put those
two in a room and you get this

209
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:17.200
deliciousness, this discussion of all things, you know, end desnigh, Trump

210
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.880
revenge angles. It's crazy, man, and we're gonna we're gonna get to

211
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.759
A stark warning in our twenty twenty
four lead, a special issue, A

212
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:37.799
stark warning, A stark warning on
notice, get ready, here we go.

213
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.319
A stark warning in our twenty twenty
four lead. A special issue of

214
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:47.279
The Atlantic magazine Today lays out a
detailed, compelling case that specifically, what

215
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.359
could happen if Donald Trump returns to
the Oval office. Two dozen essays by

216
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:56.079
Atlantic writers outline how the threats to
democracy will be bigger than ever before,

217
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:02.920
potentially changing America forever. Twenty four
stories. I want to repeat this,

218
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:10.079
twenty four independent writers. In some
cases there's multiple reporters on those bylines,

219
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:15.400
or I should say reporters some are
our ed, but the fact remains that

220
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:23.920
like thirty people sat down and started
making their predictions. And it gets more

221
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.920
and more insane as you read down
the list. So this is what Tapper's

222
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:36.799
talking about, and it's all the
stuff they predicted the first time. And

223
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:41.960
then there's some new wrinkles with you
know, Revete Well, here these are

224
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.039
the new wrinkles. The Trump who
comes back is going to be very different

225
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.279
than the Trump we had the first
time. And then okay, hang on,

226
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.200
Atlantic, dude, what do you
mean by that? Because I remember

227
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.720
you guys saying that the last Trump
was literally hit No, I'm sorry.

228
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.559
What did they end with? Wasn't
it a Trump? Was Hitler and Mao

229
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.839
and Stalin? Right? He was
all three? I did they throw Paul

230
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.200
pot in there? I can't remember, but like they took it to this

231
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:15.160
stratospheric level that was just it would
be unachievable for an actual maniacal madman in

232
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.880
this day and age. And that's
where that's what they said of the last

233
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.119
Trump. And it's like I've said
on this show, once you've gone,

234
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.119
once you've gone full Hitler, where
do you go? And they proved me

235
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:34.279
wrong by going Stalin Hitler slash MAO. But that's still in the ballpark.

236
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.079
So the Trump that comes back if
you think he's literally Hitler and you think

237
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.400
he's going to be different, and
obviously you can't say he's going to be

238
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.759
different in a positive way. Like, I'm a a loss for where we're

239
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.000
headed Trump. We had the first
time culminating in January sixth was a pretty

240
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:56.039
troubling phenomenon. But I think this
time he is coming bent on revenge.

241
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:02.119
David Frump has a very excellent essay
about that. He's coming with the idea

242
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.039
of revenge. He knows how government
works, he knows how he was thwarted

243
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.759
the last time. He's not going
to be hiring the so called grown ups

244
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.079
to run the cabinet. You know, you remember jam Mattis and Rex Tillerson

245
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:17.160
and John Kelly, all these establishment
figures who were there to Bill br Bill

246
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.119
Barr, to keep him in check. No more people keeping him in check.

247
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.720
You know what's crazy about that statement
is they're acting like they liked all

248
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:29.799
those people, like, oh no, we were we were great. Uh

249
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.200
you know Bill Barr, Yeah,
wonderful, even even Maddis. I think

250
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.480
Mattis probably they didn't go hard on, but they still trashed the dude.

251
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.039
Anyone who was anyone who was in
Trump's orbit who dared to do anything short

252
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:52.039
of, you know, undermining him
openly, they they you know, they

253
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:59.759
they literally were Hitlerlte. So the
adults are And when you say the adults

254
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:06.440
aren't going to be in the room, remember several of those folks. They

255
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.200
didn't serve with Trump very long.
How long was Madis there? How long

256
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.240
was Tillerson there? I mean that
was off the front. But they were

257
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.079
gone pretty quick, those two.
By the way. Still I still don't

258
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.920
like the way that Trump treated Madis. That's just my personal opinion. That

259
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:32.559
being said, politics is ugly,
all right, So ramp it up,

260
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.559
scare the crap out of people,
and yes, especially from an international standpoint,

261
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.400
tell me more so. It's not
that Russia is afraid to attack Poland

262
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.559
because you know, we wrote something
down into treaty and somebody signed it and

263
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.319
ratified it. It's because he genuinely
believes that if he attacks Poland, or

264
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.160
he attacks Germany, or he attacks
Britain, that the United States will come

265
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.920
in and all the NATO countries will
come together and fight, and once we

266
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.200
have a president who makes it clear
that he won't do that under any circumstances,

267
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.799
even if there's pushback, even if
the military starts shouting, even if

268
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.720
the Senate tries to prevent him,
that psychological barrier is down. And then,

269
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.480
really, you know, at any
moment, when Putin says, right,

270
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.359
all these arms are coming into Ukraine
via Poland or via Romania, why

271
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:23.359
don't I hit the train stations are
coming in on And I'm gonna I'm gonna

272
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.359
pause this idiot for a moment,
so I want you to understand the scenario

273
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:32.200
she's laying out, what she's intimating. She's saying that if you put Trump

274
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:38.680
in, Putin will not fear retaliation
from NATO because the US will not be

275
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:45.599
participatory, which I don't know,
maybe, but let me ask you this.

276
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.960
If you're also implying that Trump,
or when Putin's in office, or

277
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.720
when Trump's in office, Putin can
do whatever he wants, why didn't Putin

278
00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:02.319
go into Ukraine when Trump was in
office? This is like the if Jake

279
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:07.200
Tapper was worth his soldier. Any
journalist who's I guess interviewing other journalists and

280
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.640
they proffer something like this, I
feel like that's the that's the initial logical

281
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:17.359
question, all of these things that
you're predicting, where Trump would just be

282
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.880
like, Oh, that's my buddy, he can do whatever he wants.

283
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.559
Do you think why would Putin have
waited if that's honestly what he thought.

284
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:34.079
Do you think that dirt bags and
crazy deskpot leaders and whomever they may be

285
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.599
around the world, who do you
think they're more fearful of, even if

286
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:45.519
it's due to unpredictability, Joe Biden
or Donald Trump. I don't even think

287
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.000
it's a contest, man. I
don't think it's a contest at all.

288
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:52.440
You know, people said, ah, you know with Trump, you know,

289
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.240
the guy's sitting there chugging diet cokes, his finger on the button.

290
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.200
Well, if you're a crazy dude, but you're just saying enough to know

291
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.400
that there's certain things you don't do
if you want to hold on to power,

292
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:10.720
and you're unable to predict what the
response would be because you know Trump's

293
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:17.079
a lunatic, That in and of
itself is a deterrent. I know it's

294
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:18.920
crazy, and it's not the route
that I would necessarily want to go.

295
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.039
In their theory of it, I
disagree with their theory of it, but

296
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.799
like, you can't have both things
be true at the same time. Trump's

297
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:37.519
so unpredictable he could blow up the
world, but also he's so passive that

298
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.279
anyone who wants to can do whatever
they want. You got to pick one.

299
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.640
It's the old it's it's it's kind
of a little twist on the old

300
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:52.079
standard how to trash on any GOP
president. Right, one day, it's

301
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.839
like he's the dumbest person ever.
You saw this with Bush, Right,

302
00:26:55.400 --> 00:27:00.400
He's the dumbest person ever. And
then the next day, evil genius.

303
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:06.519
Right, he's so smut, he's
working around all the fail safes. He's

304
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:07.839
got it all figured out. He's
doing what he wants, and what he

305
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.559
wants is to roll us back and
then insert whatever your fear mongery scenario is.

306
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.079
And they wrote twenty four articles about
this, and Jake Tapper went off,

307
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.200
we got to get those people on
the show. So, man,

308
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:25.480
oh man, are they gearing up
for this? Joe Biden's running around talking

309
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:30.240
about how he's got a code to
blow up the world, and I know

310
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.559
what you're saying, he's joking,
and I agree with you, he's joking.

311
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:45.039
Kind of he's also very confused,
in my opinion, And what how

312
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:49.039
does that not factor into your concerns
when somebody has that level of power,

313
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.480
if they're confused, if they may
not understand stuff. Have you seen Joe

314
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.519
Biden deal with criticism like you saw
on the campaign trail where he's screaming at

315
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:02.640
supporters. He's screaming at supporters.
He tried to fight a dude who is

316
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:08.759
a supporter. Trump will nasty you
up and he'll say stuff. I never

317
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.839
saw him try to fight a dude. Maybe I missed it. Maybe you

318
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:17.039
can point me to it. Without
the assurance that the United States will do

319
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.599
something about it, he's therefore much
more likely to do it. And of

320
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:25.720
course, once we lose the assurance
of collective defense in one part of the

321
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:26.559
world, then why would we have
that in another part of the world.

322
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.079
If you can't trust America to help
it's NATO allies, which are its oldest

323
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.440
allies, then why do you think
America would help Taiwan or South Korea?

324
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:41.039
Okay, And we can get in
a whole bunch of examples where people have

325
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.039
literally went on and on about well
one, Ukraine not a NATO member.

326
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.160
Two. Most people that i've talked
to that are in, you know,

327
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:55.279
in that upper echelon of intelligence,
members of Congress who have served in that

328
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.720
commanity. They don't want NATO in
there, right, because then they feel

329
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.039
that they're an obligation, Right,
you let you let Ny, You let

330
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.640
a country that you know is likely
going to be attacked or there's a high

331
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.720
probability of it by another country that
you don't want to go to war with.

332
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.640
You're not signing a document going we
got your back if something happens.

333
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.680
And that's that's why they they're very
strategic about who's in NATO. The whole

334
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.559
thing is just shaping up to be
like they're having to dig, they're having

335
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.319
to figure out, all right,
so what's the new freak out? Because

336
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.480
they went full Hitler and excuse me, they went full Hitler, Mouse Stalin

337
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.720
all rolled into one and they're leading
the charge here. It's absolutely insane.

338
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.920
I will tweet out a link to
this if you want to get through it.

339
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.519
But yeah, it's all end of
the world stuff. It's in a

340
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.119
way, it's like a lot of
really great conspiracy theories. And speaking of

341
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.759
conspiracy theories, the more I read
about this dude who's hou blew up the

342
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:08.119
crazier that gets we'll explain coming up
kc O Day Radio program. Wow,

343
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.680
this is a terrifying little deed right
here. You know, we do those

344
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.039
stories where you wonder, all right, what's going on with the people around

345
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:26.799
me. It is the study survey
well from the university researchers University of Michigan

346
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:36.480
putting together the first of its kind
a a overview of the use of drugs,

347
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:44.400
and it ranges from marijuana up to
all the drugs, you know,

348
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:55.319
the from marijuana to Motley Cruz dressing
room, and is among older Americans.

349
00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:00.200
Okay, so senior citizens, what
percentage of senior citizens do you think in

350
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:11.880
the United States use regularly marijuana?
So senior citizens United States, what percentage

351
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.599
and what do they define regularly as
within the last let's see, on multiple

352
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:22.079
occasions within the last year. So
I guess it could be daily, it

353
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:29.319
could be once a month. What
percentage twelve percent? Now I'm not sure

354
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.079
from a legalization statewide standpoint. You
still have the federal laws, but I'm

355
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:38.839
not sure what the percentage of legal
states is currently. And you're going to

356
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:45.039
have a higher propensity when you get
into older folks who will be able to

357
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:52.400
legally use marijuana from a state perspective, because they're going to have a higher

358
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.519
propensity of some of the ailments that
trigger it in states that don't have recreational

359
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:02.039
but do have medical. That's not
what I'm interested in. That's its own

360
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.920
thing. Honestly, I thought it
would be higher because you know, glaucoma

361
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.160
is a thing. No, no, no, Where this starts getting real

362
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:16.799
interesting is when you start dipping into
the other stuff, including nearly one percent,

363
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.880
and I need to figure out exactly
what this definition is. Nearly one

364
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:36.119
percent of retire or retirement age admit
to using synthetic amphetamines, and that runs

365
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:43.640
the gamut. One of them is
bath salts. That would be one that

366
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.960
would fit into that. Do we
really have, you know, one out

367
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:53.240
of one hundred old person walking around
on bath salts? I'm terrified by that,

368
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:02.920
but also really intrigued. Why are
you using that? Did you not

369
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.759
hear about the dude who ate the
other dude's face? Older people watch the

370
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.119
news, they listen to the news. That's you know, when we look

371
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:16.119
at our audience, it's us older
than you know, the adult contemporary station,

372
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.960
and then you know it's it's small
percentages of people. Let's see using

373
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:31.680
cocaine, using a lot of a
lot of what you would kind of consider

374
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:39.680
painkiller kind of stuff, but not
actual pain, which you know that actually

375
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.359
makes sense to me, because people, if they're in a lot of pain,

376
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.319
they may they may decide that's the
route to go, and then you

377
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.680
get into the federal stuff. But
if you run across one hundred old people

378
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:57.359
day one of them was to eat
your face, just know this and be

379
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:24.400
terrified. All right, Good morning
everybody, and happy Wednesday. It is

380
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.679
seven o seven here on the Cacoday
radio program. I'm gonna see if I

381
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.760
can get your brain to explode in
three minutes in twenty eight seconds, not

382
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:39.599
three minutes and twenty eight seconds from
now. But I have a little piece

383
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.920
of audio. I guess it's not
little if it's three twenty. It is

384
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:55.880
a mashup of the presidents of three
Ivy League schools being asked what I feel

385
00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.519
like is not a difficult question.
Actually, when you're the president of m

386
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:07.440
I T Or Harvard or Penn what
we consider to be the krem de la

387
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:15.480
creme of our institutions of higher learning. So reasonably the people running said institutions

388
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:22.840
should be able to answer pretty complex
questions. I don't expect. Look,

389
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:24.760
if if you're the head, if
you're the president of m I T,

390
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:30.960
should you be able to you know, essentially be a walking quantum computer as

391
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.639
some of your students are. No. No, because you're you're you're You're

392
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.679
there to manage the chaos. And
I'm fine with that. This is a

393
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:43.440
question that is squarely about managing the
chaos. All three of these women,

394
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.840
it's the all three of the presidents
of Harvard, MIT, and pen are

395
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.400
all uh are women. They hold
the title of doctor. I believe in

396
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:58.880
all three cases they themselves obviously highly
educated, and they're being asked a really

397
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.519
simple question. We're gonna get to
that audio, and man, you want

398
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.920
to lose some faith in humanity,
that's how you go about that. Okay,

399
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:14.159
well, hold on. Somebody feels
that maybe the people, the elderly

400
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:19.119
folks asked about drug use were confused. I mean that's a possibility. Like

401
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.719
if you asked Joe Biden about drug
use or anything right now, what he

402
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:27.719
ate this morning, he might be
confused. But I don't know about that.

403
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:30.760
I feel like there's enough people that
are like, yeah, hell,

404
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:37.599
yeah, synthetic amphetamines, which isn't
just bath salts. I want to be

405
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:43.320
very clear here, but it is
also bath salts. And I just have

406
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:50.480
this image of that, and I
don't understand the motivation of it. So

407
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.440
thank you for the email. I
don't know if they were confused, but

408
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:58.239
I don't think they're so confused that
they thought because they didn't say salt in

409
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:02.880
the bath, I think it literally
said various synthetic drugs. And it's not

410
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:07.280
just that. Do you remember that
that South Carolina girl she took what did

411
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.920
she It was synthetic marijuana, I
think for her, and she took it,

412
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.840
got really really high, and she's
like, you know, I don't

413
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:21.559
need my eyes anymore. So she
solved that problem with like a spoon or

414
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:28.320
something. Right, crazy crap can
go down, man, But when you

415
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.119
put it in a like an assisted
living facility context, I don't even know

416
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:37.960
what to think. Marijuana thing didn't
shock me. It's the other stuff also,

417
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.119
the cocaine. I mean that that
can't be good for you when you're

418
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.920
in your seventies, right, I
mean, it's not good for you when

419
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.920
you're in your twenties, but it's
got to be really not good for you

420
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:58.159
in your seventies. But yet some
folks like the party. And it's not

421
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.400
just the Rolling Stones. I think
they're all clean now, right, So

422
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:07.400
there you go? All right?
Ross got the audio dubbed in Ross,

423
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.960
Does that make you want to quit
humanity? Listening to that? Like?

424
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.880
Maybe just go on vacation early?
Should we give that? It's not a

425
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.000
complicated question. The act you were
not You were not flum mixed by it?

426
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.719
Right? You and I did not
go to an ivy leagues. I

427
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.400
mean, I mean, dude,
it depends on the context. What the

428
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:31.320
word flumxed? You mean me?
It's all it's all contextual. So I

429
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:43.800
played the fid the it's but you're
not being indictedtained. Do you even know

430
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.360
what that means? If you don't
know what flumbs, you're like a sidebar.

431
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:54.840
You're the but you're not on trial
here and and frankly, to some

432
00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.639
extent, these women are. But
all right, so Ross one. Ross

433
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.800
is obviously using their strategy. But
more importantly, to his point, it's

434
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.559
not a complicated question. And you
don't even have to use uh, you

435
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:14.960
know, Jewish students in this.
You could use any other example and ask

436
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.119
the same question, and I promise
you they would have an answer that would

437
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:22.639
be remarkably different. I believe that
here we go. I'm gonna do minimal

438
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:27.559
interruption to the extent that I can, because there's a few things need to

439
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.920
be said. But I want you
to listen to the uh. You know,

440
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:40.159
three of the individuals who have the
privilege of heading three of the most

441
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:46.360
prestigious universities in the world. Harvard, Harvard, M I, T.

442
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:53.480
And pen are always always in you
know, in the top universe, not

443
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:59.159
just in the US, in the
world. These need to be the best

444
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:02.360
of the best of the and unfortunately, as we've seen, you have lunatics

445
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:07.599
running around on campus banging on doors. You saw what happened to Columbia University

446
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.880
where they trapped a bunch of students
in like a you know, some sort

447
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:16.079
of student center. Nobody really did
anything. The only thing that happened is

448
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:20.280
all the donors went out. You're
out, by the way. Did you

449
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.840
see that Harvard changed? What is
there? They have different donor statuses.

450
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:28.800
But if you really want to be
a player there, get you know,

451
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.719
get some name recognition, get things
done. It used to be twenty million,

452
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.880
was the was the minimum for entry. So if you want to be

453
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:45.760
considered among the top donors, twenty
million, that numbers two. Now why

454
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:49.079
do you think it's two? Do
you think they're fighting inflation or do you

455
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.119
think people went No, I'm not
writing you a check, not this year.

456
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:58.559
So here are the leaders. We'll
start with doctor Sally corn Blooth.

457
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:02.719
All right, Sally Kornbluth, who
excuse me, doctor Kornbluth. I'll give

458
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.679
her the title. She earned it. She runs MIT. Let's get into

459
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.280
this, and you're gonna hear from
all three. By the way, this

460
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:15.360
is at least Stephonic, the congresswoman
from New York who this is a congressional

461
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.440
hearing yesterday. She asks, She
goes and asks the same question of all

462
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:25.920
these women, and it's mind boggling. Here we go at MIT. Does

463
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:32.320
calling for the genocide of Jews violate
MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying

464
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:36.280
and harassment? Yes? Or no? Okay, all right, that's the

465
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.760
question. Ross said was pretty it's
pretty So you agree, it's a pretty

466
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:46.000
simple question. You're calling for the
genocide of a particular group of students.

467
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:54.159
Is that bullying? What do you
say, doctor Kornbluth, You've targeted at

468
00:41:54.199 --> 00:42:00.360
individuals not making public statements. Yes
or no, calling for the genocide of

469
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:05.840
Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment. I have not heard calling for the

470
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.400
genocide or Jews on our campus.
But you've heard chance for Intifada jeez,

471
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:15.039
that chance which can be antisemitic depending
on the context when calling for the elimination

472
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:20.119
of the Jewish people. So those
would not be, according to the MIT's

473
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:27.400
code of conduct or rules, that
would be investigated of as harassment if pervasive

474
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.639
and severe. MS miguil At Penn
does all right, before we get into

475
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:38.719
idiot number two, And I don't
say that lightly. I mean they're at

476
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:44.880
face value, they're probably not stupid
people. But on this issue, and

477
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.159
with this simple of the question,
I don't know what you're expected to draw

478
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.840
from this. So she never answered
it. I would argue that that that

479
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:58.079
the first uh, doctor Cornbluth,
is probably the closest you're actually going to

480
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.519
get to an answer, because this
just gets calling for the genocide of Jews

481
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:09.960
violate PENS rules or code of conduct? Yes or no? Wouldn't you be

482
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.800
into conduct it can be harassment?
Yes? Okay, I just and I'm

483
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:16.480
sorry I stepped on it a little
bit. I wanted to accentuate two things.

484
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:22.519
One the pause, right, I'm
gonna be pretty I would have a

485
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:29.599
quick answer too. If it turns
into acts, meaning yes, but only

486
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:36.639
if you genocide the Jews, right, or if you kill the Jewish students,

487
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.840
then yeah, yeah, no,
you're probably gonna get time out or

488
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:46.440
in school suspension or whatever whatever they
punish. That's I told you, you're

489
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:52.159
gonna walk away from this feeling a
little worse about society. But it's got

490
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:57.519
to get out there. So at
am I excuse me, at pen you

491
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:05.599
can call for it, but don't
actually exterminate all of the Jewish students.

492
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.320
Okay, I guess maybe that's probably
in the handbook. I'm not sure I

493
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:15.559
am asking specifically calling for the genocide
of Jews? Does that constitute bullying?

494
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.599
Harassment? If it is directed and
severe or pervasive, it is harassment.

495
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:28.559
What does directed mean? You mean
like saying that you want infantata or you

496
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.159
want the death of all the Jews. I mean that sounds directed. It

497
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:38.639
sounds like it's directed at Jewish students
or just Jewish people, Like it couldn't

498
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:44.079
be more directed. Like if I'm
like, ah, death to all radio

499
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.800
producers. That's pretty directed. I
feel like Ross would have a case to

500
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:53.519
feel a little bothered by that.
I would never do that because I'm not

501
00:44:53.599 --> 00:45:00.599
insane. But that's what we're talking
about here. So the answer is yes,

502
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:06.000
it is a context dependent decision,
Congresswoman. It's a context dependent decision.

503
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.360
That's your testimony today, calling I
got a Ross Kenny you while I'm

504
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.400
playing this, I want you to
just think. Think of a context where

505
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.840
you call for the death of all
the Jews. But it's not but it's

506
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:21.119
like it's it's one hundred and eighty
degrees, it's not a negative thing.

507
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.679
Because I was I was racking my
brain during the last break trying to figure

508
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:30.079
that out. What in what way
could you do that and it not be

509
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:35.360
negative? And I couldn't come up
with one. So just contemplate. I'm

510
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:37.840
going to continue to think, we'll
continue to listen for the genocide of Jews

511
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.800
is depending upon the context. That
is not bullying or harassment. This is

512
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:50.480
the easiest question to answer, yes, miss McGill. So is your testimony

513
00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:54.679
that you will not answer yes if
it is, if the testory go,

514
00:45:55.039 --> 00:46:00.519
if the speech becomes conduct, it
can be harassment yes. If you then

515
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:07.320
do the genociding, then time out
or suspension or something conduct meaning committing the

516
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:14.159
act of genocide. The speech is
not harassment. This is unacceptabless micguil.

517
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.360
I'm gonna give you one more opportunity
for the world to see your answer.

518
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:24.320
Does calling for the genocide of Jews
violate Pen's code of conduct when it comes

519
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:30.920
to bullying and harassment? Yes?
Or no? It can be harassment.

520
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:37.239
The answer is yes. And doctor
Gay at Harvard, does calling for the

521
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:42.880
genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of
bullying and harassment? Yes? Or no?

522
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:45.639
And before she answers, I want
to remind you that at Harvard we

523
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:52.079
have audio of that, right and
Pen they did the thing where they were

524
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:57.880
shining stuff on the buildings, but
at Harvard this happened. And then remember

525
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:01.880
the truck of shame was coming around
and harassing folks. It didn't happen in

526
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:06.880
the letter, but it happened at
the event. So like, this is

527
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.599
a real world example with audio that
I think we played it on the air,

528
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:14.400
and if we didn't, it's floating
around out there. It can be

529
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:20.920
depending on the context. What's the
context targeted as an individual targeted at an

530
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:25.719
individual, it's targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals. Do you understand your

531
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:31.599
testimony is dehumanizing them? Okay?
And also what does that mean because you're

532
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:37.079
calling for the death of all of
a group. But it's not harassment if

533
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.159
you do it that way, only
if you name Yeah, I guess you

534
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:46.639
name you're like and especially Arise screw
that guy, right, that's what she's

535
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:52.280
saying, and that's what makes this
possibly, I would argue the worst of

536
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:58.519
the three. You understand that dehumanization
is part of anti semitism. I will

537
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:04.679
ask you one more time. Does
calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's

538
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:08.960
rules of bullying and harassment? Yes? Or no? Anti Semitic rhetoric?

539
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:15.320
And is it anti semitic rhetoric?
Anti Semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct

540
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:21.960
that amounts to bullying, harassment,
intimidation, that is actionable conduct, and

541
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.920
we do take action. And by
the way, I said, the first

542
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:29.559
one was close to an answer.
That's what she just should have said right

543
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.719
there, right, And she knew
because she was third, she saw like

544
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.679
there was no surprises. She's third. That things that last little part she

545
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.599
said, if she'd just done that, she would have looked so much better

546
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.039
than her colleagues. But she had
to start with the whole Nah, you

547
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:51.559
gotta no, it's got to be
an individual, not just all of them,

548
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.760
which was the dumbest way to begin
that. Oh, the answer is

549
00:48:53.880 --> 00:49:00.280
yes, that calling for the genocide
of Jews violates Harvard Code of Conduct.

550
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:06.360
Correct. Again, it depends on
the context. It does not depend on

551
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.320
the context. The answer is yes, and this is why you should resign.

552
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:16.320
These are unacceptable answers across the board. Feeling better about your day because

553
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:22.480
I'm sure not. And uh,
you know, shaping young minds absolutely,

554
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:27.880
So what have we learned? If
you want to call for somebody's death,

555
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.400
but you don't name them, and
you group them together within these three institutions

556
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:37.119
of higher learning, it may not
be a thing. Probably, Okay.

557
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:45.440
I tend to believe somebody when they
are outspoken about wanting all of something dead,

558
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:50.639
right. I remember my uncle wanted
all the prairie. And I'm not

559
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:54.119
comparing the two from a humanistic standpoint. I'm just pointing out that like he's

560
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:57.559
like he wanted He's like, we're
going to write We're gonna kill all the

561
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:02.000
prairie dogs. This is like his
fixation. He's like he's like in Caddyshack,

562
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:08.760
He's the groundskeeper, right, Okay. He meant it to the point

563
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:13.320
where it was kind of crazy with
some of the stuff that he was trying.

564
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.639
And I understand why he was doing
it, but he would say it

565
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.800
on the regular basis and I never
questioned it, And those were arguably pess

566
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.000
In this case, we're talking about
human beings, a large group of them.

567
00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:29.920
And if you put any other group
in their LGBTQ, black students,

568
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:32.960
Native American students, and you said
that, you whispered that you thought that

569
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.880
you'd be out of these schools.
All right, we'll be back. Hang

570
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:50.239
on your day. Smarter one six
one FM Talk and News Talk Ninetti More

571
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:55.199
with Case starts now. Oh wow. All right. By the way,

572
00:50:55.400 --> 00:51:01.159
thank you to all of those of
you emailing telling me about your older relatives

573
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:05.679
who are a giant drug addict.
I'm not saying it's not a thing.

574
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:08.360
I just I want to know if
there's a one and one hundred chance if

575
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:12.199
I go to a senior center that
somebody's going to try to eat my face

576
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:20.599
and not, you know, for
non batsalt reasons. That's all, Uh,

577
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.360
Jack ro limited. I know,
sir, I really didn't want to

578
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:25.760
interrupt it that much, but I
would have interrupted it three times as much

579
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.920
if I didn't attempt to control myself
because it was so insane. These are

580
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:40.079
learned individuals who, in any other
circumstance would have categorically condemned even a whiff

581
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:45.440
of anyone going, hey, we
need to eradicate all of the gay students.

582
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:51.880
It would have been done. The
DOJ probably would have investigated the student.

583
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:57.599
And I want to be abundantly clear. If some students are walking around

584
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:02.079
campus calling for the death of all, you know, all gay students,

585
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:08.840
they shouldn't be walking around campus anymore. That's not okay, all right,

586
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:13.119
So, uh dude sent this ema. He's he's not a fan of the

587
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:15.280
show, but he listens, so
I, you know, thank you.

588
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:23.039
Uh, and UH explained exactly how
hypocritical we are. I'm idiot, and

589
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:28.760
he referred to Ross as my assistant
idiot. Ross is actually the executive idiot,

590
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:34.360
as he is the executive producer,
sir. So he said, I

591
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:39.199
have listened for years. So you
hate the show and you listened for years?

592
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:44.360
I mean, I if I don't
like doing something. I don't do

593
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:49.440
it for years, but I appreciate
your commitment. Have you not called for

594
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:58.400
the death of Isis? So let
me get this straight and and and by

595
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:00.880
the way, if you would have
put all the idiots stuff, I would

596
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:07.880
actually just answer this in a non
combative manner. But do you not see

597
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:15.119
the difference between calling for the eradication
of ISIS fighters, which is a very

598
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:21.559
specific group, versus anyone who is
Jewish, which could also include I don't

599
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:25.679
know. Maybe you heard about this
babies, right, I don't for the

600
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:34.079
ISIS folks like I don't want their
babies murdered, So I feel like that

601
00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:43.280
would be the difference. But I
appreciate your brainstorming. How do you write

602
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:45.840
that email and not realize the difference? Whatever, All right, let me

603
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:50.079
get to let me get to some
phone calls. Bob, you're up first,

604
00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:57.079
go right ahead. I'll think we're
gonna work. Yeah, I'm here.

605
00:53:57.119 --> 00:54:00.800
You there? Yeah? Okay?
Working? What's up? Oh?

606
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:06.159
I just my head blew up?
So I thought i'd call you. Sorry,

607
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:10.360
I was speaking you reported earlier.
These reporters that are saying that Trump

608
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:15.920
is worse than all these dictators,
including the Hitler which killed Nians of Jews.

609
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:20.239
They obviously graduated from a higher institute
of learning. Then you get all

610
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.880
the students in these higher institutes of
learning calling for the death of all Jews

611
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:28.639
not being punished or recognize that they're
even threatened or do anything wrong. Let

612
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:30.880
me put that in comparison. If
you have a fifth grade kid in school,

613
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:36.719
in the elementary school, and they
said something like this, it would

614
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.239
be terrible. I mean, your
kid would not go to that school anymore.

615
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.360
Everybody involved, police, parent,
probably everybody being involved and called in.

616
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:46.320
Right, So, how's we have
a higher standard of ethics for elementary

617
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:52.440
school kids than we do for our
higher levels of education. And I guess

618
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:55.000
the and the flip side is like
if it's if you know, some six

619
00:54:55.079 --> 00:55:00.119
year old saidate, you would explore
it. But there's always the possibility they

620
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.480
don't necessarily mean it, right,
They could be repeating some sort of movie

621
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:06.559
Who the hell? When you're twenty? I feel like you mean it?

622
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:08.639
So yes, if that's the point, sir, I'm one hundred percent with

623
00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:13.679
you. And by the way,
Trump went to Penn. He did his

624
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:19.440
business degree as postgrad at Penn at
Wharton, right because that's that's pen So

625
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:23.800
think about it. They're calling him
for home sitting president, worse than Hitler.

626
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:30.320
No, it was worse than Hitler, Mao and Stalin combined. Sir,

627
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:37.199
there was an actual article. There
was an actual article claiming that that

628
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.079
Trump would lead or had already was
well on his way to leading to more

629
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:45.960
deaths than those three cats, which
I mean, obviously would be like what

630
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.559
half the US popular third of the
US populations. So give me a break,

631
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.519
all right, Yeah, no,
good way to tie it together,

632
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:59.840
sir, Absolutely right. I wanted
to do fun stuff today, Bob,

633
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:07.079
what's up? Good morning? Here
are you guys? I'm good. Harvard

634
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.519
and all these other institutions, and
mentioned Harvard because that's the one that stands

635
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:19.039
out in my mind have considerably large
endowments. Yes, So what would happen

636
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:24.920
if say, a Jewish student union
got together and filed a massive lawsuit and

637
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:34.960
that amount against the institution, these
institutions for allowing harassment and I say they

638
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:39.719
won. I don't and then you
know, donated to Ukraine. I yeah,

639
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:44.519
honestly, I don't know. I
don't know what would happen? You

640
00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:49.920
know, one you're dealing with private
there might be some changes. Well maybe,

641
00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:53.199
but I also don't know that they
would necessarily win that lawsuit because one,

642
00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:58.159
it's not a governmental entity. Uh
in the case of Harvard, it

643
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:02.559
is a private university, as is
m I t is, but maybe Peddan's

644
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:07.760
not. But my point is,
yeah, something's got to give that's going

645
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:13.239
to make them care, and it
can be a lawsuit or tragically, it

646
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:17.239
could be a horrific incident, and
I don't want it to be that.

647
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.440
So that's why I'm I want the
lawsuit would be the better, the lesser

648
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:23.239
of two evils than God. Well, no, no, no, I

649
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:25.519
want to. I want to,
I want to be I agree with you.

650
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:30.760
I'm just I agree with you.
I don't I don't want the bad

651
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:34.920
thing to happen. I'm just nervous
that it could. So that's why we're

652
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.400
shining a light on this. I'm
with you. So they're hurting in that

653
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:44.360
direction by because the dancers we heard
in that congressional meeting, they're basically saying,

654
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:46.679
go, you know to me what
those women as presidents and these institutions

655
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:52.599
are saying, they're green lighting that
behavior towards your students. Well, the

656
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.719
very least there at the very least. They're terrified of their own student body

657
00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:00.960
and they think they're walking a lot
and uh and thanks for the call,

658
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:07.920
Bob, but obviously they're not,
because it is inexcusable. All right,

659
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:13.000
real quick, James, go right
ahead. Yeah. I was wondering,

660
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:17.239
since we're failing to protect the class
of stud of a race, why don't

661
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:22.119
we just pull off federal funding,
including any student loan to any student that

662
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.880
is attending they can obtaind a different
school and they never get any more federal

663
00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:29.639
funding. Well, in the case
of Harvard, they don't need it.

664
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:32.320
Not only they have this endowment,
but Harvard announced that they're doing away with

665
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:37.719
tuition, so you know, you're
not going to have that stranglehold. I

666
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:43.760
guess maybe the only way you could
screw with them from a governmental standpoint is,

667
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:47.039
you know, based on their footprint
of their property. But you're not

668
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:52.000
the city or Boston and the surrounding
cities aren't going to do that, so

669
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:57.639
they're free to do what they want. I see, I see your point.

670
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:02.159
But eventually that endowment is going to
run out if the Democrats crash fifty

671
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:07.199
fifty billions, sir, I could
budget that and I and I buy stupid

672
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:09.440
stuff all the time. So but
I feel like I could, I could

673
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:12.400
manage it, all right, all
right, thanks for the call there,

674
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:15.199
James. Yeah, I feel like. Look even that that dude who won

675
00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:21.000
the lottery in West Virginia who is
like hauling suitcases of cash to strip clubs

676
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:22.840
and then he's like what happened in
the suitcases? Right? And then he

677
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:27.960
lost all his money? Like that
dude, I'm pretty sure he could budget

678
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:34.800
fifty billion a lot of cash are
talking about. That'd be an interesting experiment.

679
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:37.679
Ross, you could budget fifty billion
if you will give you fifty billion

680
00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.880
dollars and see if you go through
it. You'd be willing to attempt this

681
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.840
experiment, Okay, rased agic he
could do it? I think I don't

682
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:50.480
know sure. Maybe maybe he goes
crazy. Maybe you're that guy you're maybe

683
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:53.239
you're that cautionary tale every time the
power balls up that they tell everyone about,

684
00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:59.119
don't be that guy. Talk talk
to a financial advisor. But anyway,

685
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:01.760
maybe a B football team. I
could think of a football team or

686
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:06.679
two that could use a new owner, right, Yeah, I mean you

687
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:09.079
have fifty bill. You couldn't go
Brewsters millions with fifty bill. I just

688
01:00:09.159 --> 01:00:12.920
I don't even know how that would
happen, but yeah, it sounds like

689
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:15.840
a lot of money. All right, Well, easy job for you today,

690
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:21.639
huh Yeah. Next few days not
bad in the mountains. There was

691
01:00:21.719 --> 01:00:24.519
and still is some snow with winter
weather advisory, so there's that. But

692
01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:28.840
we'll be in the cool air at
the colder air next couple of days,

693
01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:32.199
but quickly modifying before our next change
comes in for the weekend. Now it's

694
01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:35.440
a fifty to fifty weekend, and
we'll tell you right now, the best

695
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:38.519
day is going to be Saturday.
There's gonna be some wet weather around Sunday

696
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:43.679
with the mild weather, could actually
in some spots get close to seventy degrees.

697
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.199
So kind of these ups and downs
continue today, fifty tomorrow just above

698
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:50.599
fifty. This morning it's chili.
This Tomorrow morning's going to be in the

699
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:53.679
upper twenties to low thirty, so
another chili start. And then on Friday,

700
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.239
we believe in that sunshine, but
it will get milder as we climb

701
01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:00.920
to the low sixties. So rest
of the work week, good chili,

702
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.719
midweek, milder end of the week, and then Saturday looks great with lots

703
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:07.760
of sunload of mid sixties with a
chance of showers by Sunday, but a

704
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:12.280
high near seventy degrees. Would be
shocked if we start throwing in some thunderstorms

705
01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:15.679
too. As this will be a
springtime system with a front coming in,

706
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:19.000
we'll cool off again early next week, but sunshine will return it. Right

707
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.880
now, looking a head casey,
it looks like it's going to be every

708
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.400
four or five days, we'll probably
get a pre sip threat with a front

709
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:28.400
and then cooler weather, a colder
weather coming in, and you know,

710
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:30.159
we get to the middle and end
of the month, start talking about late

711
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:35.679
December, early January, who knows, who knows? Maybe that white stuff

712
01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:39.559
in the mountains. Yeah, we
start sending everybody crazy and scrambling hopefully maybe,

713
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:42.719
I mean, we won't be talking
about it late in the money.

714
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:45.480
Could we ain't gonna be here?
All right? I mean, yeah,

715
01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:49.960
how amongst the meteorological community, you
know us meaning us being talking right,

716
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:54.320
I guess yeah, text Ross,
yeah, text Ross, Yeah, he'll

717
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:58.599
get right back to you. Right, he'll be right on that. Yeah,

718
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:01.000
all right, we'll talking the next
now, okay, oh yes,

719
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:04.679
all right, so we're gonna I
said that there are some fun stories I

720
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.920
want to do, and so I'm
gonna I'm gonna have to jam a couple

721
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:10.800
in here and then on to UH. It should be the Lieutenant Governor.

722
01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:16.039
We'll talk about his trip to UH
to Israel, and then obviously tie in

723
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:21.480
what we just heard in the congressional
testimony, because holy crap, it's all

724
01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:24.480
coming up. Hang on, this
is ninety four or five WPTI in the

725
01:02:24.559 --> 01:02:32.199
triad and one six one FM talks
in the triangle. All right, here

726
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:37.880
we go seven fifty two I.
So we gotta get We just have to

727
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:40.719
have a little something that doesn't make
you want to quit society. Well this

728
01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:45.840
might still, but at least it'll
be for humorous reasons. And to kick

729
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:52.719
it off, we gotta do this. Florida. Then Florida then be something

730
01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:57.639
in the water, the rare sand
that makes you do all that crazy crap.

731
01:02:57.719 --> 01:03:00.920
It's like the state is wanta be
dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has

732
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:07.760
the Florida Man. It is almost
like, as the Weird Factor climbs to

733
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:15.440
find out it haven't in Florida every
time. In Florida, men, Florida

734
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:17.400
man, If anyone can jeer me, if you know you can to find

735
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:21.639
life be crazy. But of course, but it's not. It's bad crowd

736
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:25.719
crazy as yours. Nowhere else are
you gonna find him? They're so used

737
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:31.159
to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida man, all right,

738
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:37.440
and in this case Florida woman.
But as explained, man as in

739
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:42.480
mankind. Now I don't have to
have another song produced a Florida man.

740
01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:46.400
Although he's not the bad guy here. I think a Florida man's tender date

741
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:57.519
nearly turned deadly. This from the
Miami NBC station, who reported that a

742
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:02.360
twenty five year old woman named Destiny
Johnson from Miami arrested on charges of attempted

743
01:04:02.440 --> 01:04:06.559
murder, aggravated battery, arson,
you name it, all right. So

744
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:13.079
here's what happened. They met on
Tinder, and they set up a date,

745
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:17.639
which just happened to be at the
Holiday in Express. Apparently they both

746
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:20.920
want to you know, be smarter, because remember that's what it does if

747
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:30.400
you stay there. Except I didn't
go well, so they decided so for

748
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.519
their date they were gonna go smoke
pot and then go to the motel,

749
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:39.159
which, hey, you know what, whatever, The problem arose as they

750
01:04:39.199 --> 01:04:42.519
returned to the hotel I guess they
had to go smoke pot elsewhere and then

751
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.840
went back to the hotel, and
the woman asked the dude, hey,

752
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:50.519
by the way, dates going great? Do you have money so I can

753
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:59.559
fix my car? And this guy
actually offered to give her money, just

754
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.760
this woman when he just met according
to the rest report. The victim said,

755
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:05.880
look, I only have sixty dollars
on me, but you can have

756
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:14.960
it. What a simp anyway,
at which point she shouted, quote,

757
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:18.880
you guys are out to get me. Understanding she's in the car. They're

758
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:24.559
in the car at the holiday inn. There's not guys, there's one.

759
01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:28.000
And she had just been normal,
according to the police report, and then

760
01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:31.000
screamed this when he offered sixty bucks. She then reached into her purse,

761
01:05:31.079 --> 01:05:38.320
pulled out a can of lighter fluid, sprayed him and lit him on fire.

762
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.920
And also because she's in a car, things are crazy, kind of

763
01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:47.199
let herself on fire. The victim
managed to escape the burning vehicle, rolled

764
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:53.400
on the pavement put himself out.
It was only later that they were able

765
01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:59.119
to find this woman after they received
a report from several people of a burned

766
01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:03.079
naked woman and screaming that she blew
up a car running down the street,

767
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:09.639
and I guess they were able to
put two and two together. So man,

768
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:13.320
dating, Ross, You're lucky you're
married. Man, dating's tough these

769
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:17.239
days. Yeah, you know,
one minute you're having a great holiday in

770
01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:23.599
express date and the next minute you're
on fire. I mean it's tough out

771
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:28.920
there. Doesn't say whether I don't
know if she got the sixty dollars or

772
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:34.679
what. No, she did not
get the sixty dollars. She should have

773
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:38.119
taken it before she let him on
Firely she would be, you know,

774
01:06:38.239 --> 01:06:46.119
part way to her goal. So
yeah, crazy, crazy abounds, especially

775
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:50.280
on the tender app and probably if
your thought for a first date is not

776
01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:54.400
you know, hey let's meet at
a restaurant or a bar, or let's

777
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:58.360
you know, go to a movie, and it's just hey, let's let's

778
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:02.599
do drugs and go to the holiday
and you're really rolling the dice there,

779
01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:09.800
and more so nowadays, according to
new research that suggests that having a pet

780
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:18.880
cat doubles your risk of schizophrenia,
and even more so in women. No,

781
01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:23.880
this is not a joke article.
This is actual research that was done

782
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:28.400
by the University of Queensland, Australia. As well as researchers here in the

783
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:34.840
US at the University of a Temple
University, and they basically said that individuals

784
01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:42.960
who have a cat had approximately twice
the odds of developing schizophrenia as a total

785
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:47.239
population segment, and a slightly higher
risk if you are a woman, and

786
01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:51.519
especially a younger woman. Now what's
the reasoning. It has to do with

787
01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:55.400
parasites. Oh and as soon as
you start, you know, you start

788
01:07:55.400 --> 01:08:00.199
stacking cats, you're stacking your risk
too, because it is this parasitic thing.

789
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:06.440
As what they're saying, could I
offer another theory as somebody who's obviously

790
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:14.519
smarter than three of the Ivy League
presidents. I feel like this might be

791
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:19.920
a chicken egg thing, like maybe
you are schizophrenic and that makes you want

792
01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:26.479
to buy a bunch of cats,
because why else would you make that decision?

793
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:31.600
And I don't feel that they explored
that option. So anyway, if

794
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:38.960
you have a cat, you might
start hearing voices. I didn't do the

795
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:42.960
research. I just share the news. Have we got another hour of news

796
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:47.560
sharing to go? Lots to get
into, happy, sad and everything in

797
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:54.720
between. We'll do it coming up
all right, Good morning, everybody,

798
01:08:54.800 --> 01:09:00.439
and happy Wednesday. It is the
CaCO Day or the radio program our number

799
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:06.720
th three. And I said,
as we were kicking off the show today,

800
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:13.640
I've got like normally I try to
get about twelve twelve, fifteen stories,

801
01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:15.560
and I got like twenty. I
am hell bent on getting these in

802
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:21.399
and I am doing a horrible job
of it. So bear with me.

803
01:09:21.479 --> 01:09:25.439
We will probably be picking up the
pace this hour. We're open to chat

804
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:30.520
with Lieutenant Governor. I wonder if
maybe just because is where the calendar fell,

805
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:36.560
Like maybe he's confused on the week
because he had that trip and then

806
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:40.520
we had to push it off because
he was in Israel. So if he

807
01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:45.319
calls, we'll definitely chat about it. But maybe I'm the one who's off

808
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:50.720
here. Oh well, well we'll
plug that in if need be. Now

809
01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:58.800
Washington Post Union, so not the
Post, but the Union is asking for

810
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:06.279
your help. These would be the
the journalists over there who have such great

811
01:10:06.439 --> 01:10:15.199
journalistic integrity. They don't opine,
just the facts, both sides, nonpartisans,

812
01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:18.199
you know, those those cats who
are none of those things. They

813
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:25.239
still want your help, and that
is tomorrow, So tomorrow, all day,

814
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:34.640
all day. They want you to
respect the picket line. What do

815
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:40.039
I mean by that. So they're
having a one day little little mini strike

816
01:10:40.199 --> 01:10:47.600
or something, and they're asking tomorrow
that everyone refrain from posting on social media

817
01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:51.600
or engaging with in any way.
I guess maybe is there some comments not

818
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:56.199
on the main paper, but maybe
some of their other stuff, and not

819
01:10:56.319 --> 01:11:00.560
engage with any of their content.
Don't go to the site of the website

820
01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:02.640
to read it. I guess if
it's in your yard, kick it into

821
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:04.800
the street. I don't know how
that works, But don't buy it in

822
01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:10.560
person. Don't take a link from
an article, post it on Twitter or

823
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:16.199
Facebook or any of that so that
you can show your solidarity with them and

824
01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:21.960
the Post Guild as they're known.
UMM. They put a letter out and

825
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:28.000
says we're applying these core principles to
our workplace. For eighteen months, members

826
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:31.359
of the union have sought to negotiate
a fairer contract. The problem is,

827
01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:34.439
and I'll get back into this,
we're gonna Chatt Lieutenant Governor is like,

828
01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:40.479
either you kind of have to either
be on their side or Jeff Bezos side.

829
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:43.840
It ain't easy, but we'll get
to more of that in a moment.

830
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:46.279
Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson joining us this
morning. How you doing, sir?

831
01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:48.840
Hey, how you doing, Tyson? Sorr. I was a little

832
01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:54.960
laid out, just got home from
the tail. I'll get this morning so

833
01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:58.079
that it's all good. It was
weird because you had the trip and then

834
01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:01.039
the calendar and all that stuff.
Don't stress over and I will remind you

835
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.680
though. This is gonna be our
last chance to chat before the new year,

836
01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:08.800
because Ross and I get real lazy
and take a bunch of time off.

837
01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:12.479
So I don't blame. I'm gonna
try to get a few things in.

838
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:15.279
But first I want to hear about
your trip over to Israel. I

839
01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:18.079
don't know if you know this,
some of the local media was not happy

840
01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:23.439
about that. So well, you
know, with at least of my worries,

841
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:30.039
those folks have abou as much integrity
as as a drug dealing bankwabber.

842
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:34.239
So I don't really care about those
folks. They they make up narratives,

843
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:39.840
they don't tell the news, so
we don't really take much stock at what

844
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:45.319
they say. But our trip was
fantastic, Casey. When I say fantastic,

845
01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:47.680
I mean that in the most solemn
of ways. It was a trip

846
01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.520
that had been planning for ten days. It was supposed to be an excursion

847
01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:56.039
for about thirty of us. We're
gonna go over see all the holy sites,

848
01:12:56.560 --> 01:13:00.960
really see the country as tourists and
just you know, really take a

849
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:04.720
visit and take everything in. But
after the events that happened on the seventh

850
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:09.600
of October, we changed those plans. We were all only on the ground

851
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:13.680
for three days and it was a
whirlwind trip, but it was a very

852
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:18.079
good and informative trip, very eye
opening and light changing experience. We went

853
01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:24.399
over, we visited the minuscript Foreign
Affairs, We met with id F officials

854
01:13:24.439 --> 01:13:29.800
who updated us on the war and
how they were regrouping and fighting back.

855
01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:35.479
We had the the the the occasion
to go to some of the to one

856
01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:40.000
of the villagers that was attacked,
one of the kibbutzers that was attacked,

857
01:13:41.319 --> 01:13:45.640
and saw places where whole families were
slaughtered. We met with families of falling

858
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:49.880
IDF soldiers. And I can tell
you tase it, I've never taken a

859
01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:56.760
trip or been anywhere that affected me
like I was affected on that trip.

860
01:13:57.439 --> 01:14:00.840
From the moment we got off the
plane, from the moment we got off

861
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:04.319
the plane that we were greeted with
smiles and hugs and thank you for being

862
01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:09.159
here. And it was a wonderful
trip. And the thing that we left

863
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:14.359
with more than anything, we left
encouraged by the resolve and the strength of

864
01:14:14.439 --> 01:14:17.239
the people of Israel are they are
determined to win this war, push back

865
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:23.079
against the evil terrorists that the attacked
their country. And I would hope that

866
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:27.399
the United States of America would certain
to continue to stand arm in arm with

867
01:14:27.439 --> 01:14:30.079
them, because I know that's here
North Carolina. I'm going to do everything

868
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:32.159
to make sure that we do.
So. It's a very good trip taking.

869
01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:35.439
Okay, And here's why I asked
this, And it's not just you,

870
01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:42.199
it's anyone who serves as a politician
in a local capacity, be it

871
01:14:42.279 --> 01:14:46.800
state or city or county or school
board or whatever. I'm always curious,

872
01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:51.880
like, why, you know,
what is what are we trying to accomplish

873
01:14:51.920 --> 01:14:55.880
with these trips, because too often, and I think you would agree,

874
01:14:56.159 --> 01:14:59.960
too often, it sounds it feels
like these things turn into junkets. I'm

875
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:03.000
yours is a bit of a unique
situation because it's an active war zone right

876
01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:10.560
now. But you know, what
is accomplished other than somebody getting to go

877
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:15.960
do something and you know, in
their capacity as an elected official going on

878
01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:19.079
these, though they'll call them like
fact fighting missions or any of the rest,

879
01:15:19.359 --> 01:15:23.720
I tend to see very little emerged
from it. What would you say,

880
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:29.239
emerge make me think this is a
good idea If you would, well,

881
01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:31.680
I can tell you this case.
The trip was not sponsored by the

882
01:15:31.720 --> 01:15:36.560
State of North Carolina. It was
sponsored by private individuals. It was by

883
01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:41.840
private entities, and so it was
non official trip. I did not even

884
01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:45.479
I didn't even take my own security. I had private security provided by those

885
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:50.840
who organized the trip and invited us
to come along, and so it was

886
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:56.119
not necessarily a state sponsored trip.
Of course, I let the folks there

887
01:15:56.199 --> 01:15:59.680
know who I was in my capacity
as a Lieutenant governor, but it was

888
01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:02.920
not sponsored by the state, so
to speak. It was sponsored by private

889
01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:08.039
group. We went over and the
thing again, Tasey. The thing that

890
01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:12.359
I left with that I believe will
help me in my capacity as an elected

891
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:15.880
official, is to visually see,
just like we do when we go to

892
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:21.479
see places that have devastating effects from
natural disasters, to go there and visually

893
01:16:21.479 --> 01:16:28.319
see the devastating effects of a terrorist
attack in the immediate aftermath. It's something

894
01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:30.920
that I think elected officials, if
they have the chance to do it,

895
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:35.239
should do it because it's a very
eye opening experience. It gives you a

896
01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:40.319
view of it that you cannot get
from watching it on a screen. And

897
01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:43.640
I think that's the thing that we
left with. We have to be strong

898
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:47.960
in our results to stand up against
those who operate our pure hatred and terrorism.

899
01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:51.000
We have to be strong in that
result. And that's the thing I

900
01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:54.840
think. Even heighten that even more
for me was by going there, seeing

901
01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:58.680
it in person and hearing those stories. I've never been to Israel, but

902
01:16:58.720 --> 01:17:01.680
I have spoken with a couple people
who went, and one of the things

903
01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:06.880
that they talk about is the security
apparatus and whether it is at the airport,

904
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:12.720
whether it is when you're out on
the streets in the communities there,

905
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:19.479
and the way in which the government
actually partitions funds of an unimaginable percentage of

906
01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:25.359
their total spending in Israel. It's
crazy. And then you compare contrast here

907
01:17:25.399 --> 01:17:29.399
in the US, and you see
like easy things that they do over in

908
01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:35.000
Israel that seem like no brainers from
a security standpoint, that we actively reject

909
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:40.479
over here. So did you notice
those things when you're comparing and contrasting and

910
01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:44.359
what would you say stuck out?
I did, And again, Casey,

911
01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:49.640
this is another thing that gives me. It encourages me to continue to fight

912
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:54.880
for public safety in this nation.
Right now, we are in a very

913
01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:59.359
precarious situation. We have a wide
open border, and you know, I

914
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:01.960
know for a that there are most
of the people who are coming across our

915
01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:05.560
border are not coming across for the
various reasons. I've met some a lot

916
01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:10.760
of those folks. They're running from
death spots, they're running from bad situations.

917
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:14.680
But there are a number of people
who are coming across our border right

918
01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:16.880
now because it is open, and
they're coming across from the various reasons,

919
01:18:16.960 --> 01:18:23.960
human trafficking, drug trafficking, and
possibly even terrorism. We now more than

920
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:27.479
ever need to take a look at
what happened in Israel. We need to

921
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:33.000
heighten our security in this country in
every corner because the time is ripe in

922
01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:36.239
this country right now for just that
style of attack, and we need to

923
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:41.520
be on our p's and q's and
again taking that trip seeing what Israel is

924
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:44.720
doing, seeing what they went through, it doubles my result to increase public

925
01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:47.439
safety right here at home. There's
a story and it's not a news story.

926
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:51.920
It's one that they recycle all the
time, and I always usually do

927
01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:57.319
it because they leave context out.
This one's in Durham. They just had

928
01:18:57.359 --> 01:19:01.319
a big meeting. The headline from
Mario. Students in Durham schools suspended and

929
01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:06.600
expelled at higher rates, a new
study shows, And of course it's all

930
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:11.039
about who's doing the study, but
the fact remains that if you go on

931
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:15.159
a per capita basis and you took
a hundred black students and a hundred white

932
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:19.520
students, more of the black students
would find themselves either suspended or expelled over

933
01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:26.079
the course of their learning. And
they never address how we got there or

934
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:30.159
what the students may have done.
They simply say, because the number is

935
01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:35.000
not equal, therefore racism. Look, if they're not there to learn,

936
01:19:35.920 --> 01:19:41.199
obviously that's a problem because you know, then I guess you lean into the

937
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:44.760
criminal behavior if it was something that
got you expelled. But how do you

938
01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:48.600
even begin to address that when we're
starting with this dishonest narrative rather than actually

939
01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:51.439
digging down and well, I mean, what do you think needs to be

940
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:56.039
done? Well, I can tell
you this casey. We could talk about

941
01:19:56.119 --> 01:19:59.880
a mirrord things, but what I'm
always interested in is when they talk about

942
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:02.439
these numbers, I would like to
know who it is that's doing the suspending,

943
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:09.840
who's doing the suspended, and what
do those folks look like? Because

944
01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:14.239
I have seen in my capacity.
Excuse me what you say. I said,

945
01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:16.960
that's that's absolutely fair, and it's
of course not addressed here. So

946
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:20.760
who's who's doing the suspended? There
are a lot of schools that are predominantly

947
01:20:20.840 --> 01:20:24.880
let us be fair about there are
a lot of schools that are predominantly black,

948
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:29.479
have predominantly have lots of black staff
and even black principles, and in

949
01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:33.640
those schools there are high rates of
suspension. Are those are those black principles

950
01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:40.039
and administrators who are suspending those black
students? Are they racists? You know,

951
01:20:40.119 --> 01:20:42.840
we got to get past this foolishness
case, like you said, and

952
01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:45.800
get down to the root cause of
what is going on here. And I

953
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:48.800
would submit to you what is going
on here is we have a system here

954
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:54.520
in North Carolina from the top,
there's top heavy that has created a system

955
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:59.920
where there's no accountability and no discipline
in our classrooms and in our schools.

956
01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:04.960
That is the problem. We've put
diversity over discipline we've put equity over excellence,

957
01:21:05.119 --> 01:21:09.359
and now we found ourselves with schools
that are just completely out of control.

958
01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:14.159
We've got to get back to the
basics excellent discipline and the things that

959
01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:16.239
it breeds. And what does it
breeds. It breeds safety, and it

960
01:21:16.279 --> 01:21:20.600
breeds great results out of the classroom. So we got to get past just

961
01:21:20.800 --> 01:21:28.760
these glaring headlines that are used by
the news media to get clicks and likes

962
01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:31.479
and sell newspapers and get viewers on
the television. Get down to the root

963
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:34.960
calls and find out where we can
get some great solutions. Because I submit

964
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:39.680
to you, it's not about race, It's about the poor state of our

965
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:43.199
schools now and the lack of discipline
in our schools. Well, you know,

966
01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:45.239
people will say, they'll be ah, you know, schools are they're

967
01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:49.159
crazy dangerous compared because you know,
you see all these videos of fights.

968
01:21:49.279 --> 01:21:54.000
I would only argue that there were
fights when I was in school, but

969
01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:58.119
we just didn't have smartphones to tape
it and put it on on the internet

970
01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:01.119
for all due to gaze. But
like you saw this, you saw the

971
01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:06.199
stabbing. Obviously, yes, what
happened in Wake County. There's a myriad

972
01:22:06.239 --> 01:22:11.319
of other examples. The other day, three different students in North Carolina had

973
01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:18.479
guns in three different communities. So
there's there's a lot more than just a

974
01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:25.000
suspension. But some would argue that
it feels like kids are getting more violent.

975
01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:28.800
There are more horrible incidents, and
as a result, you're going to

976
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:32.800
have more suspensions. And should it
matter if you got video of them doing

977
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:36.600
it, whether they're white or black
or Asian or whatever it's on video.

978
01:22:39.279 --> 01:22:42.279
That's exactly why I see now.
So that's what I'm saying is the problem.

979
01:22:42.560 --> 01:22:45.680
The problem is not that we're punishing
more black children, or punishing more

980
01:22:45.720 --> 01:22:49.520
white children, or left white children
the problem. The problem is we're not

981
01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:55.319
putting the mechanisms in place to not
tolerate this type of behavior. I know

982
01:22:55.479 --> 01:22:59.479
teachers who have told me personally,
time after time. I've met teacher after

983
01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:04.039
teacher that they've been shoved, pushed, assaulted by students, and those students

984
01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:09.720
will come right back into their classrooms
thirty minutes left the next day, the

985
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:12.920
next week. When I was in
school, if you put your hands on

986
01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:15.720
the teacher, you were gone from
the school. You weren't going to be

987
01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:18.399
there anymore. We need to set
some strict standards of behavior in our school

988
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:24.279
the same way we set strict standards
in the workplace. Violence is not tolerated

989
01:23:24.279 --> 01:23:28.479
in the workplace. Sexual harassment is
not tolerated in the workplace. We shouldn't

990
01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:31.680
tolerate it in our schools either,
But all too often we do at school

991
01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:35.640
systems. Do it shade their numbers, keep their tendance up so they can

992
01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:41.880
continue to have great numbers on paper, while actually inside the school, the

993
01:23:41.880 --> 01:23:45.159
school is failing. Do you I
just had a couple of minutes left,

994
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:49.359
about a minute and a half,
you know, one of the predictions,

995
01:23:49.399 --> 01:23:53.800
and you can actually you can look
at this in the state of Florida and

996
01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:58.840
New York, where the expansion of
vouchers actually led to a marked improvement within

997
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:03.760
the public schools, right because competition
broke out so how quickly as we expand

998
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:06.840
here in North Carolina. Do you
think that it might have an impact on

999
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:13.760
public schools to be more competitive,
to create an environment that is more inviting

1000
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:17.199
for parents, if only to compete
and thrive. Uh, what do you

1001
01:24:17.239 --> 01:24:21.039
think? I think that I think
it is going to pay off. It

1002
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.800
is going to pay off, and
I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

1003
01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:29.680
These folks that want to support systems
over students, These folks who want

1004
01:24:29.680 --> 01:24:31.880
who think that we should just continue
to grow money at the problem instead of

1005
01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:35.359
bringing real solutions. They're gonna find
out quick that parents are not going to

1006
01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:39.760
settle for that. They're gonna pull
their children out. They're gonna put their

1007
01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:42.720
children in places you're going to give
them the success they need. Whether it

1008
01:24:42.760 --> 01:24:45.920
be public, private, uh,
charter, it doesn't matter what it is.

1009
01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:48.079
They're gonna pull them out and get
it done. Because Casey's parents are

1010
01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:51.199
tired of this. And when the
public school finally wakes up and see that,

1011
01:24:51.199 --> 01:24:54.640
I think they're gonna start. They're
gonna start making the changes they need

1012
01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:57.880
to make. Well, we'll find
out, all right, uh Mark Robinson,

1013
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:00.279
Lieutenant Governor. Well it'll be the
new year before we chat again.

1014
01:25:00.439 --> 01:25:05.319
So I have yourself a dare I
say a Merry Christmas, sir? And

1015
01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:10.199
well, I'm sure it'll be crazy
in a month. Still, you know,

1016
01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:13.680
I'll take it even one step father
from me. I'll take it even

1017
01:25:13.720 --> 01:25:15.479
one step father. Merry Christmas to
you. Jesus is the reason before the

1018
01:25:15.520 --> 01:25:18.760
scenes seemed to less celebrate his birth
and the piece that he bought there,

1019
01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:21.640
so thank you. Oh wow.
All right, well you know they're probably

1020
01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:25.960
gonna run that in an attack ad
on you now, so that'll be fine

1021
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:29.359
with me. All right, all
right, thank you, appreciate it.

1022
01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:32.520
Have a good one. Okay,
thank you, sir. Yeah, well

1023
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:36.039
you think I'm joking. I could
totally see some moon bab You're like,

1024
01:25:36.079 --> 01:25:42.920
did you hear what he said on
the radio? He said, Jesus is

1025
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:45.319
the reason for the season, and
then you have really ominous and then you

1026
01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:48.520
have a black and white picture of
him saying it. Oh, it's straight

1027
01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:53.880
up. That's how attack ads work. And we're getting into that season as

1028
01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:56.520
well. All right, hang loose. Like I said, we got lots

1029
01:25:56.560 --> 01:26:00.680
to get to. Uh, We've
got the most did Atlanta crime story?

1030
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:04.319
I think I've seen it quite some
time, and I'll finish up on the

1031
01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:09.319
Washington Post thing. We'll do it
next. It is the CaCO Day radio

1032
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:21.920
program. It is here on the
Cacoday radio program. How Atlanta is this

1033
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:28.960
story? So a twenty eight year
old man is in jail. According to

1034
01:26:29.000 --> 01:26:33.640
authorities, he boarded a Marta bus. So MARTA's the public transit there.

1035
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:41.000
I've never been on one, I'm
sure it's if it's as terrifying as the

1036
01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:45.800
Marta train I rode once, I'm
sure it's just it's awesome. Ross.

1037
01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:47.880
Did you ever ride the Marta when
you live down there, either the train

1038
01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:51.680
at least or the no No,
I saw it and I said nope.

1039
01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:56.520
Yeah, well, you know what, you made the right decision, sir.

1040
01:26:57.119 --> 01:27:01.159
But I digress. So this was
the bus. So he's on the

1041
01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:08.800
bus, he gets there's some beef
with the driver, and the driver uh

1042
01:27:08.920 --> 01:27:12.279
decides he's gonna call he's gonna call
police, he's gonna call for help.

1043
01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:16.399
And so he literally exited the bus
right because this dude's in there going berserk,

1044
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:21.840
and I guess there's uh, there's
another there's a there's all the passengers

1045
01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:26.880
left but one, and the passenger
has he is not He does not know

1046
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:30.199
this guy, but he's like,
I'm gonna watch this. This looks exciting.

1047
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:32.079
So that dude stayed on the bus
and that's going to be important.

1048
01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:38.000
So the driver gets off of the
bus and is on the phone. I

1049
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:43.840
call him police or his supervisor or
whoever. And at that point, uh,

1050
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:46.920
this dude decides, you know what, it's my bus now, and

1051
01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:50.800
I don't know if he It says
he got into a physical altercation with the

1052
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.800
driver. I'm assuming maybe to get
the keys from him. I don't know,

1053
01:27:56.359 --> 01:28:00.439
but here's what I do know.
He then left with the bus and

1054
01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:08.520
the RANDO passenger, only to be
arrested later. And then we start filling

1055
01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:15.439
in the blanks. So, according
to police, Jamari Lee is dude's name,

1056
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:24.479
drove the passenger to the waffle house
that the passenger was trying to ride

1057
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:28.159
the bus to get to. So
now he's not just hijacked the bus.

1058
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:30.680
He's like, I'm going to fulfill
the duties, although he drove him directly

1059
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:34.439
to the waffle house, whereas the
bus stop was a couple of blocks away,

1060
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:41.760
so arguably providing better service. And
then after he dropped that dude off

1061
01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:45.439
with the waffle house, he said, you know what, I'm going to

1062
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:53.079
go to Stone Mountain. That'll be
nice, and went to a Stone Mountain.

1063
01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:57.119
However, when he got to the
when he got to the gate,

1064
01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:01.399
I don't know, something look right. So according to the video, he

1065
01:29:01.479 --> 01:29:05.479
tried to just pull a U turn
in a bus. But it's kind of

1066
01:29:05.479 --> 01:29:10.680
a narrow it's a narrow windy I've
never been to Stone Mountain, but I'm

1067
01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:15.600
assuming it's just like a normal city
street the entrance and then drive in h

1068
01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:18.760
and he was unsuccessful, almost hit
a car, and then eventually he's like

1069
01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:23.560
this sucks, so he stops,
gets out, puts on his jacket,

1070
01:29:23.560 --> 01:29:28.640
and just walks away, apparently not
wanting to be a bus driver anymore.

1071
01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:31.840
And then obviously police figured it out
and they went and the rest of the

1072
01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:38.239
dude. They're using the term hijacking
and in the statement for Marta and then

1073
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:44.640
for whatever reason, WSB doesn't so
I don't know, and they say that

1074
01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:47.640
it started because the customer when he
got on didn't realize he would have to

1075
01:29:47.680 --> 01:29:50.319
pay, and that made him mad, so that's why he took the bus

1076
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:59.199
and again provided phenomenal service for that
one passenger, who authority say simply was

1077
01:29:59.359 --> 01:30:00.680
just a dude who didn't get off
the bus. And then the guy asked

1078
01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:02.319
him where he wanted to go,
and he said, I'm going to this

1079
01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:06.239
waffle house and the suspect said,
I'll take you there. I wonder how

1080
01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:14.560
long he was doing this, because
like downtown Atlanta to Stone Mountain, traffic

1081
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:18.920
sucks there. How long would that
even take on? Now people are sending

1082
01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:24.720
me their Marda horror stories. I
know when I lived in Atlanta and it

1083
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:28.159
was like traffic like that, it
was like two hours anywhere again, any

1084
01:30:28.279 --> 01:30:31.159
any direction you go in in that
traffic, it's like two hours. I'm

1085
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:36.680
also curious why this dude wanted to
go to Stone Mountain because you know,

1086
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:40.439
that's been in the news lately,
because they're still like, hey, we

1087
01:30:40.479 --> 01:30:45.119
should you know, we should eradicate
this or at the very least eradicate the

1088
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:48.880
shot. Didn't they stop the shows
during all the protests? Are they doing

1089
01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:54.039
that again? That's a that's a
weird thing. That's you know, that

1090
01:30:54.079 --> 01:30:56.760
in and of itself is kind of
a strange thing, especially if you're not

1091
01:30:56.760 --> 01:31:01.079
from the South. The whole Lazer
or extravaganza there, and I know Ross

1092
01:31:01.079 --> 01:31:03.680
has seen it. I've watched a
video and I've never seen it in person.

1093
01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:06.920
But whatever, that's where the guy
wanted to go. Andy did,

1094
01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:12.319
and now he's in jail. Who's
not helping people? State of California.

1095
01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:15.880
I don't know if you've seen any
of this. California, and not just

1096
01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:23.399
California, but retailers in California.
They've been dealing with some stuff like people

1097
01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:27.840
just walking in and taking whatever they
want and leaving to the point where there's

1098
01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:33.960
been closures of stores. There has
been the locking down of literally everything worth

1099
01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:41.640
more than about fifty cents. And
now the State of California has decided that

1100
01:31:41.960 --> 01:31:44.520
they need to They got to do
something. Man, they got to get

1101
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:46.359
up in this. So what do
you think. What do you think that

1102
01:31:46.880 --> 01:31:50.159
Newsom and crew are going to do? This wasn't in the stacks, so

1103
01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:54.640
Ross hasn't even seen this. So
what do you think that the State of

1104
01:31:54.680 --> 01:32:01.800
California announced yesterday for big box retailers
that they're going to do. Do you

1105
01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:09.520
think what maybe step up police patrols
that might be it? Maybe, oh

1106
01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:15.039
maybe actually prosecute people who do this. No, the State of California has

1107
01:32:15.079 --> 01:32:19.760
announced and apparently their first object of
IIRE is Target, but it will not

1108
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:29.079
just be targeted that even though retail
theft last year was seven point eight billion

1109
01:32:29.159 --> 01:32:35.000
dollars just in the state of California, seven point eight billion, lawmakers in

1110
01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:43.039
California have put Target on notice that
starting next year, if Target does not

1111
01:32:43.880 --> 01:32:50.960
include more gender neutral toys, a
series of fines will happen and other retailers,

1112
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:56.520
big box retailers who want to do
business in California will need to have

1113
01:32:57.479 --> 01:33:02.960
gender neutral toys as a is it
I think it's fifty percent of their offerings

1114
01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:11.239
or they will face stiff fines from
regulators in California. What are gender neutral

1115
01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:15.159
toys? I was just gonna ask
this because like the whole the whole argument

1116
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:18.760
is like right, like nothing is
specifically from this side, know, nothing

1117
01:33:18.840 --> 01:33:23.399
specifically is made for a boy,
or nothing specifically is made for a girl.

1118
01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:27.199
You're still stuff, Well, why
couldn't like a girl play with the

1119
01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:29.680
Gi Joe or whatever the kids play
with now, or transport? Like,

1120
01:33:29.720 --> 01:33:33.880
what is a gender neutral toy?
I just stood and watched six thousand toys

1121
01:33:33.920 --> 01:33:38.279
get donated right for our stuff,
A bus thing. I was out there

1122
01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:41.720
Friday, I was out there,
Saturday, was out there Sunday. Six

1123
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:46.560
thousand toys were donated and it was
eye opening because I don't have kids,

1124
01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:50.279
and some of the stuff that's toys
now, I don't know exactly what did

1125
01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:54.520
I don't know what is referencing,
but a lot of the you know,

1126
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:57.600
a lot of the stuff that was
donated is the same stuff that were toys

1127
01:33:57.640 --> 01:34:00.560
when you and I were a kid, right, well, nerve on action

1128
01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:04.319
Plato, things like that, I
don't assign a gender to a NERF gun.

1129
01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:08.720
We had NERF guns and you know
what my two sisters like to shoot

1130
01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:14.840
them two Plato. That's like everything
is gender neutral to your point, And

1131
01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:18.279
that's why I'm bringing this up,
like, well, it's only gender neutral

1132
01:34:18.359 --> 01:34:24.520
if now you say that it is
only for one gender. And the point

1133
01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:29.640
that Ross made is is really how
this ties together? We were told it's

1134
01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:32.039
not. We were told get remember
the They're like, hey, get your

1135
01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:35.920
young son, get them a barbie, right, get them, get them,

1136
01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:41.880
get them dolls. Because whatever,
it's the right progressive thing to do.

1137
01:34:42.319 --> 01:34:45.920
Well if you how can you hold
that opinion simultaneously, And then you're

1138
01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:48.079
going through the toy aisle at target
going well, this isn't gender neutral,

1139
01:34:48.159 --> 01:34:51.000
right, Like if you're saying,
like the binaryally doesn't exist, right,

1140
01:34:51.840 --> 01:34:58.479
how can you have something in the
middle. Let's see here I'm reading And

1141
01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:01.119
by the way, this law has
been around since tw they just really haven't

1142
01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:05.680
done anything with it. And now
in the midst of this Newsome is saying,

1143
01:35:05.680 --> 01:35:08.600
hey, now we got to go, we got to go do this

1144
01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:12.000
while all of your stuff's getting stolen
in the other aisles. All right,

1145
01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:16.560
so gender neutral section. Uh,
the law requires retail stores of a certain

1146
01:35:16.560 --> 01:35:20.399
size to the big ones to have
gender neutral section. I guess maybe you

1147
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:24.439
just have to have a sign that
says gender neutral toys. I don't know

1148
01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:31.079
each violation. Each violation will start
with a two hundred and fifty dollars a

1149
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:36.439
day fine, which will then increase
to five hundred for subsequent and onward and

1150
01:35:36.640 --> 01:35:42.600
upward. I mean, I know
it's one of the biggest economies in the

1151
01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:47.079
world just due to the population and
everything, But I honestly I don't know

1152
01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:53.920
why if your Target, you're in
California or many of these other retailers,

1153
01:35:54.439 --> 01:35:58.600
not just for this, but for
all the reasons. But also I don't

1154
01:35:58.640 --> 01:36:00.319
run Target, and they're down with
the so what are you gonna do?

1155
01:36:00.880 --> 01:36:05.760
You know, he's down with the
weather. Rastagic weather to Yeah, what

1156
01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:10.319
is a gender neutral toy? Every
toys gender neutral, depending on what the

1157
01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:14.279
kid wants to play with. Man, I agree, yeah, yeah,

1158
01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:18.159
So anyway, all right, let's
go ahead. Is yeah, good toy

1159
01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:21.079
shopping weather. Look at that?
Just sure, great shopping weather. You

1160
01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:25.039
only little thing that stuck up on
me here this morning? There were some

1161
01:36:25.119 --> 01:36:28.399
showers in northern Virginia. I thought
they'd weaken as they crossed the border,

1162
01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:31.119
but it looks like a little patches
weakening a bit, but not enough as

1163
01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:34.800
through the triangle. May get a
brief round of some light rain or a

1164
01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:39.920
few showers over the next couple of
hours. Then we'll get into the sunshine

1165
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:43.239
already to the western sun to the
easter is less than the way of sunshine,

1166
01:36:43.239 --> 01:36:45.359
but we all should be a pretty
good shape this afternoon Chili day,

1167
01:36:45.359 --> 01:36:48.840
though with a north breeze, we'll
hover at about fifty today, a little

1168
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:53.640
bit colder than this morning, upper
twenties to low thirties and clear, and

1169
01:36:53.720 --> 01:36:57.640
a sunny Thursday low fifties. Friday
up near sixty degrees would be on either

1170
01:36:57.680 --> 01:37:00.720
side of that, with sunshine and
a great star to the weekend, lit

1171
01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:03.279
to mid sixties on Saturday, before
we get some showers Sunday, maybe a

1172
01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:08.119
few thunderstorms as a storm system tracks
across the northern tier of the US.

1173
01:37:08.199 --> 01:37:12.600
A Sunday's highs though for some could
be close to about seventy degrees case,

1174
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:16.079
so a little kind of now casting
here with this batch of showers just getting

1175
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:19.800
ready to come into the north,
coming through the triangle here shortly, and

1176
01:37:19.840 --> 01:37:23.000
then that'll go away. I think
for the most part, it's gonna be

1177
01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:25.840
sunny later, sunny for the rest
of the week in the beginning of the

1178
01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:30.399
weekend. Next substantial rain, shower
activity and thunderstorms in here head to the

1179
01:37:30.399 --> 01:37:32.720
weekend, and another cool down as
I said, into early next week.

1180
01:37:33.159 --> 01:37:36.640
Okay, all right, have a
good date talk tomorrow. Ok yeah,

1181
01:37:36.720 --> 01:37:42.720
right, and Jeff Bellinger he joins
us. Next hang on. This is

1182
01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:46.880
one O six one FM Talk in
the Triangle and nears talk ninety four PTI

1183
01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:51.479
and the triad. All right,
good morning, eight fifty three year Bloomberg

1184
01:37:51.560 --> 01:37:57.800
Update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening Fanody morning case stock market

1185
01:37:57.880 --> 01:38:01.159
future suggests we'll see a positive dart
to the midweek session on Wall Street.

1186
01:38:01.199 --> 01:38:06.079
Dow futures rough sixty seven points now. Employers were still hiring last month,

1187
01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:12.079
but the number of workers added to
payrolls was smaller than expected adp S as

1188
01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:16.600
private sector employment increased by one hundred
three thousand jobs in November. Workers pay

1189
01:38:16.800 --> 01:38:20.119
was up more than five and a
half percent from November of last year.

1190
01:38:20.439 --> 01:38:25.119
Home long demand was up nearly three
percent last week, all of it because

1191
01:38:25.159 --> 01:38:30.399
of refis, a downtick and mortgage
infrastrates triggered a surge in refinancings. The

1192
01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:33.880
average rate on a thirty year fixed
rate mortgage fell to seven point seventeen percent.

1193
01:38:34.239 --> 01:38:40.159
REFI requests jumped nearly fourteen percent.
There was a small decline in purchase

1194
01:38:40.199 --> 01:38:45.560
loan applications. Strike by Hollywood actors
is officially over. The actors have ratified

1195
01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:49.279
the contract deal that was worked out
in negotiations between their union and the Hollywood

1196
01:38:49.319 --> 01:38:54.720
Studios. The actor's approval was not
a sure thing, so there's some relief

1197
01:38:54.760 --> 01:38:58.680
at this vote. A Most data
suggests the economy is doing well, but

1198
01:38:58.800 --> 01:39:02.600
it doesn't feel that to a majority
of Americans. Nearly six and ten people

1199
01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:08.760
responding to Bankrates newest survey say it
feels to them like a recession is underway,

1200
01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:12.800
and the numbers are roughly the same
for lower and upper income households.

1201
01:39:12.880 --> 01:39:16.479
Parents with children younger than eighteen are
the most likely to say it feels like

1202
01:39:16.520 --> 01:39:20.920
the economy is in a downturn.
And Casey, Procter and Gamble has taken

1203
01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:26.159
a hit on its shaving business.
Gillette seems facial hair is in style.

1204
01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:30.960
Head shaving is also in style.
So now the company is looking to revive

1205
01:39:30.039 --> 01:39:34.880
Gillette by marketing a new product to
head shavers. P and G introducing a

1206
01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:40.479
forty five dollars head shaving kit.
It includes a specially designed razor, a

1207
01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:44.840
gel primer, and a lotion.
It's the Baldly brand. The kits are

1208
01:39:44.880 --> 01:39:49.319
being sold online only. Casey,
I just like people have been shaving their

1209
01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:54.640
heads forever and using the razors that
exist. Some idiot'll buy it. I'm

1210
01:39:54.680 --> 01:39:58.039
sure of it. Okay, all
right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate

1211
01:39:58.119 --> 01:40:00.840
it. All right, have a
good day. I don't have a shaved

1212
01:40:00.880 --> 01:40:03.079
head, so I don't know.
But you know, Gellette's problem. Their

1213
01:40:03.119 --> 01:40:08.479
other big problem is if they bring
the same idiots to market it. Remember

1214
01:40:08.520 --> 01:40:15.840
the geleect commercial where it was what
was it dad teaching his quote daughter to

1215
01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:20.359
shave or something. It was so
weird and that had a big backlash.

1216
01:40:20.640 --> 01:40:25.000
So I don't know, I screw
this. Maybe you inadvertently market it to

1217
01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:29.960
a white supremacist or something because they're
not real good at it, speak of

1218
01:40:29.960 --> 01:40:33.479
it, not good at it.
United Nations Secretary for Climate Change his name

1219
01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:42.760
is Simon Steele has a message for
Americans. Are you ready? You ready

1220
01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:47.920
for? You ready for? The
UN Climate Change Secretary's message for the American

1221
01:40:48.000 --> 01:40:51.079
public. Are you the edge of
your seat? Rossell? You excited?

1222
01:40:51.119 --> 01:40:55.159
You're ready. You're gonna digest this, put it to work. Okay,

1223
01:40:55.199 --> 01:41:00.600
You're ready. Indigenous people are on
the front lines of the climate cris Indigenous

1224
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:05.880
people coexist in symbiosis with nature.
They're on the front lines of the climate

1225
01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:12.039
crisis, and they are well placed
to lead just transitions based on their time

1226
01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:24.800
honored values, knowledge and worldviews.
What do you what have you been to

1227
01:41:24.840 --> 01:41:29.479
the US? Sir? Have you
been to Cherokee? This is not this

1228
01:41:29.560 --> 01:41:33.680
is by the way, This is
not me knocking on Native Americans and Indigenous

1229
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:38.479
persons. Excuse me, let me
use their language. I'm just does this

1230
01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:45.720
guy think that they live like in
dances with wolves? Because that's I mean,

1231
01:41:45.760 --> 01:41:48.600
it's the noble it's a bit of
the noble savage trope kind of thing.

1232
01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:54.479
But in reality, most Native Americans
in the US, whether they live

1233
01:41:54.680 --> 01:42:00.479
in extreme wealth because they happen to
be strategically located and they do good casino

1234
01:42:00.560 --> 01:42:04.039
business, like the Seminole tribe in
Florida, and some others, or if

1235
01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:10.239
they live in some of the poorest
reservation settings that we have to offer in

1236
01:42:10.479 --> 01:42:14.319
Alaska. I guess in Alaska there's
maybe a little more of this. But

1237
01:42:14.399 --> 01:42:17.840
even in Alaska when they go to
the Inuit villages up there, like they

1238
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:26.359
got TVs and houses and but they're
using they're using fossil fuels. Arguably they're

1239
01:42:26.399 --> 01:42:29.159
using a lot more because you gotta
fly in and out of those things on

1240
01:42:29.279 --> 01:42:32.960
the regular. What do you think
is happening? How much juice does the

1241
01:42:33.000 --> 01:42:36.840
casino up there in Cherokee use.
It's not in a it's not in a

1242
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:43.079
big teepee. This guy's an idiot
man. And uh and but he just

1243
01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:46.279
said we need to emulate this,
and I'm like, I feel like you've

1244
01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:50.439
never actually met anyone who's native.
Some of them even go to Kansas City

1245
01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:54.880
chiefs games. I don't know if
you know this both families. Yeah,

1246
01:42:54.920 --> 01:43:00.760
it's pretty crazy. Ah do the
absurd and that continues to emulate from that

1247
01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:09.000
climate conference or whatever in Dubai is
just is bad. All Right. I

1248
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:13.039
think it's my tiger story. We'll
roll that till tomorrow. The moral of

1249
01:43:13.079 --> 01:43:16.760
that story will be sometimes you just
gotta let it go, or the very

1250
01:43:16.840 --> 01:43:23.319
least recognized when you're outmatched, So
that'll be on tomorrow's show, but for

1251
01:43:23.359 --> 01:43:25.800
now, we gotta roll. See
you
