00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:39.320
M M. All right, good
morning everybody. It is six h seven.

2
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.840
It is Thursday here on the Casey
O Day Radio program, and um

3
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:58.640
m m. I I saw this
link getting shared everywhere. Probably let's see

4
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:07.799
one, two, three, a
minimum of three of you send it to

5
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.079
me. I think, actually more. I'm not going to scroll through all

6
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:18.359
of it. And I've mentioned on
this show that I try to be intellectually

7
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:32.120
honest. It feels very Adam shifty
shift from a process standpoint. That's not

8
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:40.799
a judgment call over the information itself. However, this is the crap in

9
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.040
Washington that we just sat through,
that we sat through for four years,

10
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.599
actually more than that, arguably because
it didn't stop once he wasn't in the

11
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:59.040
White House anymore. And I like
to see results, all right, So

12
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.280
this is this is just one version
of it. This is the New York

13
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:09.879
Post FBI tip that allegedly puts Biden
at center of criminal scheme, sends sleuths

14
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:16.560
scrambling around the world. And when
I say it's it's got that Adam Schiff

15
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:25.240
vibe, Here's what I mean by
that. So, a whistleblower that has

16
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:37.719
apparently come forward and is in communication
with a House oversight Committee Chairman James Comer

17
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:50.520
and Senator Chuck Grassley, both Republicans, has prompted a request of the FBI

18
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.840
basically that there are certain documents that
they need to make available in just under

19
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:06.039
one week's time. May tenth is
the deadline, according to Comer. Now

20
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.439
here's the vaguery of this, right, you're getting this vibe here. By

21
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:21.360
the way, we have an anonymous
whistleblower who has come to us and it's

22
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:30.000
brought something groundbreaking. If true,
the whistleblower tip would put President Biden during

23
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:38.439
his time as vice president, at
the center of a bribery scheme that could

24
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:49.560
bring the entire family crashing down,
and obviously his presidency. They don't know.

25
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:54.560
Now that's it. That's the extent
of the information as the public knows.

26
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.520
So now you have these speculative articles, Well, what is it,

27
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.240
what country is it dealing with?
What business deal is it? Ukraine?

28
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.560
Is it? China is it?
And they went through a bunch of them

29
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:18.720
here, potentials, Mexico, Romania, just scrolling here. Basically, um,

30
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.680
you know all of the countries where
you've heard that Hunter Biden has these

31
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:31.319
sweetheart deals. Ukraine seems to be
the most likely going back to various dealings

32
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:40.639
having to do with um, you
know, barisma and the investigating. I

33
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.720
remember the Donald Trump. One of
the things that he was impeached for is

34
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:54.480
what they claim was him attempting to
pressure Ukrainian Ukrainian authorities to investigate Biden.

35
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.120
I mean, that would be crazy
if it turned out that there was something

36
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:09.920
like this. The problem is there's
no there there yet, and I guess

37
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:17.519
I don't I'm I'm sick of this
stuff. If you are a member of

38
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.720
Congress and you have information and obviously
there look they should invest if some whistleblower

39
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.720
comes to him and I don't know
who it is and what the background is,

40
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.120
obviously you want to comes down to
a little bit who is this person.

41
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.480
Is this person a twenty year employee
of the FBI who held an upper

42
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.600
echelon position and just can't take it
anymore. Or is this some guy who

43
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:50.839
throws chicken bones as part of his
religion to get mystic revelations that tell the

44
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:57.360
future and or uncover past secrets.
I mean, you have to vet that

45
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:03.560
element of it, because remember we've
had wholesale scandals that the media just decided

46
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.759
were true that uh, you know, in some cases rested on the information

47
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:18.120
but provided by somebody who provably had
never met the former. And then insert

48
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.199
who it is, right, the
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Remember the

49
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.600
people crawling my Avanati's clients, Oh
he was he was running rape congo lines,

50
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.399
right, or that that other woman
said she was raped in a car.

51
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.639
And then they're like, yeah,
we can prove you never were around

52
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.959
this individual when you say this happened, and she's like, yeah, you

53
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.480
know, just I feel like it
happened. You're right, right. So

54
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.839
so when you're sitting there and you're
saying a whistleblower is going to bring it

55
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.600
all crashing down and all that,
you sound like Adam Schiff, Am I

56
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.959
wrong here? Because I know obviously
if if you're out there and you're frustrated

57
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.519
with the way that they did Trump, it probably brings you great joy to

58
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:10.279
hear stuff like this. But bring
me the meat, you know what I'm

59
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.519
saying, Bring me the bring me
the details, bring me an actual document,

60
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.439
which that's the other side of this. So you're asking the FBI,

61
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:28.399
which obviously is has demonstrated that they
are one hundred percent When you get into

62
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:34.480
the management side of things, bias, right, that's not speculation, that's

63
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:41.199
their own actions proving that. So
if there is a mystical document out there

64
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.160
that's sitting in a file folder somewhere
that Comber and grass Lely are wanting to

65
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.720
get a hold of, and it
would one hundred percent prove that. What's

66
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:59.879
just one of the speculation here that
after Biden assumed Obama administration's Ukraine policy during

67
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:05.199
his time as vice president, that
he, along with his son and his

68
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:16.519
brother were taken bribes to basically push
forward what's going on in Ukraine, which

69
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.319
if you remember at the time,
it was it was not the current president,

70
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.560
it was russia buddy Victor Yanukovich,
I believe it's his last name,

71
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:35.639
that's who was ousted. So if
all this exists and it's in a file

72
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.440
folder somewhere, what do you think
the likelihood is that the Justice Department's going

73
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:46.480
to hand it over to Coomer and
Grassley. Let me throw that out to

74
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:52.240
you eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seventy four. I just if

75
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.399
you have something, get it out
there. If you're working on something,

76
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.919
work on it, get a hold
of it, and then get it out

77
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:05.240
there. But just the scenarios I
just describe you as whistleblower, Comber and

78
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.320
Grassley. They're not gonna say what
it is, but don't worry. We

79
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.759
demanded the FBI turn over this document
to us, but they're already making the

80
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.519
allegations. What do you think the
probability is that this thing that they get

81
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:28.080
ahold of whatever this this file is, and it's not lost or changed or

82
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.840
even exists in the first place,
But you've already put it all out there.

83
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.240
This is this is what I don't
understand or am I just? Am

84
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:46.360
I being a party pooper that we
gotta get them? Well, just just

85
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.480
so you know you're at them shift
right now. Doesn't mean they're wrong,

86
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:58.360
doesn't mean this doesn't exist. And
who knows, maybe maybe what they're looking

87
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.919
for will will match up against a
copy they already have, and if it's

88
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.159
different, it'll create its own scandal. I don't know, but I'm damn

89
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.799
sick of partisans in Washington, DC
running around going, you know, we

90
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.600
got it, we got we got
a smoking gun. Can't show it to

91
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:24.039
you yet, but trust us,
it's pretty good. So anyway that that

92
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.919
so, thank you for sending that. Um, I'll wait till they have

93
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:39.600
something or or a identifiable something's missing. You know, I understand that component

94
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.039
of it, all right, eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven

95
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.039
four. We'll start the show there, just so I don't have to get

96
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.840
nine more copies of this. Don't
worry. We got other stuff as well.

97
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:58.399
We'll talk to uh ah, we'll
get the Washington perspective from the former

98
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.399
congressman as well, Mark Walker,
he'll join us eight oh five. Coming

99
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.279
up on the show. I'll give
you a rundown of some of the other

100
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.840
stuff as well. We got to
get into the new emerging protected class.

101
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:22.720
It's a doozy and ross. Did
you see the Nicholas Cage interview with Stephen

102
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:30.039
Colbert? You didn't, So it's
quite the claim that Nicholas Nicholas Cage is

103
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.240
a strange dude. We can agree
on that kind of a strange dude.

104
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:41.840
So he was talking about his first
memory, which according to Cage, was

105
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:48.840
in utero. Yeah, I'll give
you the details on that as well.

106
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:56.480
Six nineteen hang on ten years of
news twice an hour and smart talk all

107
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:03.279
day WUPTI in the Try and one
six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

108
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:11.120
All right, let me throw one
email out only because the person wasn't impolite,

109
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.879
but does disagree with me. Basically, I let me paraphrase. I'm

110
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.440
not going to read the whole thing. Essentially, Trump got investigated, and

111
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.440
in many cases it went on and
on and on with zero evidence being produced.

112
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.840
So the fact that Republicans are fighting
back, why would you why would

113
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.799
you have a problem with I don't. I have a problem with if them

114
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.039
some idiot in Washington, and I
don't care whether it's Adam Schiff or Grassley

115
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.559
or any of them, because I
don't trust any of these cats coming out

116
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.799
and go, man, we got
a smoking gun on our political opponent.

117
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.240
Don't worry. Well, we'll get
it out there and then none of it

118
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:56.840
ever coming to fruition. I understand
the political dirty you know, a dirty

119
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:03.320
tricks agle of it, and I
also stand being stymied and gathering information when

120
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:09.759
your opponent is literally in office,
and arguably it'll be harder with Biden because

121
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:16.279
we've seen that in the intelligence agencies. I have no problem leaning in one

122
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.639
political direction, but get something,
Okay, I don't know what is it

123
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.399
you think that you're do you think
that because you said it all of a

124
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.240
sudden, somebody at the FBI is
going to be like, oh, well,

125
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.600
we better not cover it up if
they were planning on covering it up,

126
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.559
if it existed in the first place. No, so don't come out

127
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.840
here and be like, I've seen
the evidence. It's crazy because I don't

128
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.360
trust any of you. I don't
care whether it's you know, Chuck Grassley

129
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.039
or Adam Schiff for Hell, Joe
Biden, or Donald Trump themselves. I'll

130
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.919
tell you what will happen. You're
ready. Between now and May tenth,

131
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.320
you're gonna get a bunch of fundraising
emails on this garbage. Make them do

132
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.679
something if they if they if they
want your help, if they want your

133
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.919
assistance, if they just need five
dollars, which apparently Roy Cooper does every

134
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.879
day in my inbox because again I'm
on all the mailing lists because I'm stupid.

135
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.840
Don't or it's not my real name, it's I'm it's Michael, and

136
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:31.120
then I'm the patriarch of the Hunt
family, so Michael Hunt, although Michael's

137
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.799
very formal, so I just go
by Mike anyway. Um, but yeah,

138
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.679
all I need every every day is
asking me for five dollars. And

139
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.279
the cat can't even run for governor. Again, they're very concerned about abortion

140
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.240
stuff right now. So it's just
fyi er um. Yeah, So that's

141
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.399
that's my beef. Okay, if
it is what it is, if it

142
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.720
is what you say it is,
why don't you have the stuff in hand

143
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.600
so you can be like, ah, here it is, because all you're

144
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.519
doing is telling me between now and
May tenth, if there is anything,

145
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.159
the powers that be are gonna do
everything in their power to make sure there

146
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.320
isn't anything. And then the next
step, when they don't give you what

147
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.960
you want, you're gonna be like
our whistleblowers said this and now they're hiding

148
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.799
it. God, send me five
dollars. Shut your face. I just

149
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.320
can't. Okay, all right,
let me let me do this. Let

150
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.759
me grab a quick phone call here, Yes, Ken, what's up?

151
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.480
Yeah, good morning. I agree
with you. I think you keep this

152
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.519
as like a ten footfold distance.
And I think it's extremely hypocritical too,

153
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:41.720
that they are definitely the ones running
around saying you weaponize the intelligence community a

154
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.799
givest us and now we want to
use the intelligence community for us, and

155
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:52.720
you know we're gonna get more information
from hunter Biden's love child, and that

156
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.639
discovery part of signing out how MUCHOS
and child support by being able to look

157
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.320
into as silences than anything you're gonna
hear out of this, uh, the

158
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:08.039
Senate committee or congressional committee. It's
just oh, maybe incredible, you know.

159
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.159
I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't even I don't even

160
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.480
trust a paternity court judge unless they
do it. I do believe it's just

161
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.000
unless they do it. On More, I do believe it. Well,

162
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.679
I do believe you got to keep
this at arms. This I mean,

163
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.039
this is it just smells weird.
Yeah, just you know, do what

164
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.799
you're doing investigatively and then come out
and and and at that point if you

165
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.240
have something be like boom, here
you go, or do it on More.

166
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.799
I love this new decade on the
calendar and celebrating ten years on the

167
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.480
air. This is one oh six
one FM, Talk in the Triangle and

168
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:52.159
News Talk N four five w PTI
and the Triad. All right, we

169
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.000
had all sorts of weirdness of the
stack today. Did you see the Elon

170
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.919
Musk MPR fight. Obviously you're aware
of the beef as his previously unfolded.

171
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:11.640
Basically, Musk labeled the Twitter account
of NPR along with various other organizations.

172
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.799
He didn't. Now the lie that
I see people running around is that he

173
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.880
labeled a government run media. And
that's not what he wrote. Okay,

174
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.200
it's not what he Uh what did
he say? Government affiliated? I think

175
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:38.440
was the first one so government affiliated, and they flipped their crap, right,

176
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:47.160
and then he changed it to initially
he initially he changed it to read

177
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.200
what some about their funding, like
seventy percent of their funding, and then

178
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.400
somebody said something and he knocked it
down to sixty nine percent. And of

179
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.480
course the entire time NPR are losing
their mind over this. Never mind that

180
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.480
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which
is the funny mechanism for public radio and

181
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:15.000
television and does provide not the totality
of funding but a good chunk of it,

182
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.440
is in fact a line a budget
line item from the federal government.

183
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.440
So it is an accurate description.
It is not the same as saying that

184
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:33.759
NPR is controlled wholly controlled by politicians. Ie you know some of the stuff

185
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.519
that you see in the Middle East, Pravda back in the day, a

186
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:45.119
couple of Chinese outlets, RT,
the Russian thing, and various others.

187
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.599
But to say that part of their
funding is correct. So they decided they

188
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:59.640
weren't going to tweet anymore. All
PBS also and what CBC, the Canadian

189
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:04.119
broadcas Hasting Corporation, they all ceased
tweeting. This has been about a month,

190
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:17.720
so yesterday Elon Musk said that he
might transfer the handle the at NPR

191
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.640
to another organization if they're not going
to use it, and that of people

192
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:30.160
lost their minds over this. Here's
the actual NPR article. Neilon Musk has

193
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:36.839
threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account to
quote another company. In a series of

194
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.680
emails sent to this reporter, must
said he would transfer the network's main account

195
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.279
on Twitter under the at NPR handle
to another organization or person. The idea

196
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:53.400
shocked even long time observers of Musk
spur of the moment in a erratic leadership

197
00:19:53.440 --> 00:20:00.599
style. Okay, I have a
question. If they're not going to use

198
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.160
it, how is it that NPR
believes that they're entitled to it even if

199
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.279
you use it? Even if NPR
once a month put a tweet out that

200
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.599
said we're not tweeting because they're a
bunch of meanings, you'd be you'd be

201
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.039
using it. But if you state
unilaterally you're not going to use it,

202
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.160
and then you follow through by not
using it, it's going to be considered

203
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.920
an inactive account. How many how
many of you have had an inactive account

204
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:33.359
that ended up getting canceled on a
social media or anything for that matter,

205
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:40.519
some website you signed up for,
maybe you had like a burner Facebook account,

206
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:44.160
you forgot to use it, and
now it's dormant. If you read

207
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.440
the terms of service there, there's
usually parameters for this stuff. But MPR

208
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.119
feels even though they're not going to
use it, that it should continue to

209
00:20:53.200 --> 00:21:00.960
exist in perpetuity. No. Now, I did think it was kind of

210
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:07.759
funny because one well, hold on, let me read a little more of

211
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.160
this, because I'll give you the
example that Elon used and I started busting

212
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:19.240
up. Handing over established accounts to
third parties poses a serious risk of impersonation

213
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:26.480
and could imperil a company's reputation,
said social media experts. I can't get

214
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.240
the I have a question, how
I don't I can't get the at KC

215
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.880
O D E A handle somebody else
hasn't. Back in the day when they're

216
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.720
like, you need to get a
Twitter account, I went on there,

217
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.599
and I'm like, dah, that
one's not available, so I have to

218
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.640
do KC underscore ODEA for my personal
Luckily we're able to get Casey on the

219
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.359
radio for the show account. If
so, it mirrors r U R L.

220
00:21:53.359 --> 00:22:00.200
Ross's handle isn't Ross Hayes. I
suspect Ross Hayes isn't available, so

221
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.079
he had to go with what is
your handle because you changed it? Right?

222
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:04.920
Yeah? Yeah, right now it's
at Hayes for Sheriff at Hayes for

223
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.640
sure. What did it used to? It used to be something else.

224
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.039
I am El Burrow. I am
Elburrow. That's what it was, which

225
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.960
was my masked luchador persona on YouTube. It's a it's a you know,

226
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.759
it's a it's a detailed history.
I don't want to get into. I

227
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:23.720
know, I understand. I'm just
pointing out that there's not some entitlement to

228
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:30.799
it, and um, like you've
had a you've had a Burnerd Twitter account,

229
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.039
right, I've had several. Yeah, would some of them be a

230
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.720
series of numbers and my name spelled
backwards that created one of those, and

231
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.240
then there have been multiple issues of
those variations of them, but they are

232
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.759
not me m m But I believe
that an account go bye by Yeah you

233
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.599
never used it. Yeah, companies
have to do that because they run on

234
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.240
it, right, Like, it's
not like they have do the limited space

235
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:59.160
eventually, also to incentivize. It's
also to incentive because here's what they're trying

236
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.000
to not in And I'm not claiming
that NPR is doing this what I'm about

237
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.440
to lay out there, but one
of the reasons they do that, and

238
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.240
they and they hook them to identifiable
information is they don't want people squatting on

239
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.279
them, right, So you get
these you get these folks whose bread and

240
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:26.200
butter is um. I remember when
we launched kat w T KKUM. That

241
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.720
was not the call letters. When
we first launched one oh six one,

242
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.720
the call letters were w r DU, which is a heritage set of call

243
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.359
letters because you know, it's the
rock station back in the day and obviously

244
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:45.160
the but and then about five years
in the company decided to relaunch wr DU,

245
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.119
the old rock and roll station,
which was the rock and roll station

246
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.279
of the year for Rolling Stone back
in the day, like it had history,

247
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:59.200
and it was at that point that
the call letters flipped over to that,

248
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.440
and then we got w T KKs
our call letters. And I'm telling

249
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.000
you this story because when you go
back to how long has this station been

250
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.759
on the year ten years? Right, the sweepers say ten years, Yes,

251
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:15.920
ten years. But I remember because
I was here for launch that we

252
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.279
were trying to figure out how to
get that RL for the website, and

253
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.400
there was a dude who was squatting
on it. He owned a bunch of

254
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:30.759
different website stuff and he wanted he
wanted a certain amount of money, and

255
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.079
that's not uncommon. And so the
social media account, they don't want that.

256
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.240
They don't want somebody who owns a
thousand of these sitting there and then

257
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.960
turning around and trying to shake people
down to get them. If you're not

258
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.720
using them, they're out there and
somebody can pick them up. Now.

259
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:56.000
The example, the example that he
gave, because they're like, well,

260
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.240
who else would use NPR. We're
NPR. And I would point out out

261
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.359
that just because you're an organization with
a well known uh you know, acronym,

262
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.319
doesn't mean you're safe talk to the
WWF. I was just about to

263
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.039
say that, yep, yeah,
okay, they got it. They got

264
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:17.559
it where they got bested by a
panda okay um and and Elon said,

265
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.519
well, what you know, maybe
I'll give it to National Pumpkin Radio,

266
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:22.000
which, by the way, that's
where you interned, right. It's a

267
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.440
great organization and our Pumpkin chunkin Oh
my god, the Things of Legend.

268
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.559
That's your big fundraiser. Yeah.
Man, go out in the field with

269
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.200
a big catapult. There, I've
met Halloween saying the best. Oh,

270
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.720
National Pumpkin Ray. I don't know. There's so many podcasts. There probably

271
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:44.559
is one. Under Twitter's term of
service that accounts in activity is based on

272
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.119
logging in and not tweeting. The
rule states that an account must be logged

273
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.640
in at least every thirty days,
and that prolonged inactivity can result in it

274
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:59.880
being permanently removed. So this is
NPR trying to lawyer this thing. Well,

275
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:07.599
then they'll change the cos he's not
just gonna let you squat on the

276
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.200
handle there while you throw this big
conniption fit that you and your buddies are.

277
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:19.720
Here's this again, this is NPR's
own article. Any Over, if

278
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.839
this is a sign of things to
come on Twitter, we might soon see

279
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:29.079
even more of a rapid retreat by
media organizations and other brands that don't think

280
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.720
it's worth the risk. What is
your risk sending a tweet with a link

281
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:41.240
to whatever your latest story is one
hundred times a day. You have somebody

282
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:48.200
on staff whose job it is to
do this. Last month, NPR effectively

283
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:53.599
quit Twitter after Muss applied a label
to the news organization's account, falsely suggesting

284
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.240
it was state controlled. He did
not say it was state controlled. He

285
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:11.000
said it was government affiliated and it
is. Must has since removed the labels,

286
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.640
but the outlets are regionally targeted have
not resumed public activity on Twitter.

287
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:22.279
In an unprompted Tuesday email, Must
wrote, so is NPR going to start

288
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.240
posting on Twitter again? Or should
we reassign at NPR to another company.

289
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.400
Must went on to say, quote
our policies to recycle handles that are definitively

290
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:45.160
dormant, same policy applies to all
accounts. No special treatment for NPR.

291
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:49.759
The threat of retaliation. This is
victimhood one oh one. They feel like

292
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.039
they're the victim here and and but
to be the victim, they have to

293
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:59.240
lie. He did not say you
were stay controlled. He simply pointed out

294
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.359
that your fund a portion of it
sixty nine. I guess originates from the

295
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:15.079
government, which, when knowing that
person, may consider the whether you have

296
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.240
entanglements right, because it's all part
of judging veracity of what you're saying.

297
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.279
And you're one, you're lying.
You're provably lying to me in an article

298
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.720
right now, So I'm putting that
in the kitty. But the other side

299
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.279
of it is that's knowledge that would
allow me to determine whether I believe you

300
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:45.440
can fairly cover government, considering government
keeps the lights on. Musk has long

301
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.839
attacked the media and attempted to undercut
the credibility of journalists. I feel like

302
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:56.039
y'all are doing that all on your
own Politico. Politico yesterday put out a

303
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:02.160
fact check claiming that Randy fine Garden, the head of the teachers union,

304
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:11.799
advocated for reopening schools during the pandemic, and then several media outlets jumped on

305
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:18.920
and said, see the teachers the
teachers Union wasn't wanting to keep schools closed.

306
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.200
We did, they did a fact
check. What do you think under

307
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:32.359
comes undercuts your credibility more writing an
article and doing a victory lap about how

308
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:38.039
the head of the teachers union fought
to reopen schools during COVID which every parent

309
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:48.079
person thing with a pulse AI for
that matter, all knows is demonstrably false,

310
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:59.079
or a disclosure of the percentage of
your budget that derives from the taxpayers.

311
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.319
I'll let you ruminate on that.
Um. But yeah, they're they're

312
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:11.759
big mad man, and it all
could be solved by and and and the

313
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.680
other thing is, I don't what
leg do you think you have to stand

314
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.079
on. You all spent a very
long time writing all these articles about how

315
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:23.759
Twitter is a private business, they
can do whatever they want. And now

316
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:26.720
they're like, well, if you're
not gonna use your your thing, we're

317
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:33.839
gonna we're gonna we'll put it back
out into the ethos. And they're like,

318
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.200
no, no, we read dish
and we did. That would be

319
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.240
extraordinary. Well, it would also
be extraordinary for a big, big,

320
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:47.839
big brand that had a Twitter account, which is I would understand if it's

321
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:52.759
like, yeah, a MySpace page
right where you walked away because nobody was

322
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:59.680
there. But but for a big
brand just to cease utilizing the Twitter account,

323
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:07.359
that's what's extraordinary. One former Twitter
executive was taken aback by the remark,

324
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:12.400
telling NPR that such a threat should
be alarming to any business operating on

325
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:18.240
the site, since it indicates that
acquiescing to Muss every whim may be necessary

326
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:27.079
in order to avoid being impersonated,
what is the whim using it? Using

327
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:36.440
it? This is? I mean
when when when you traffic and victimhood,

328
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.880
any opportunity you have to take that, you know that that I'm a victim

329
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:51.920
victory lap. It's amazing how much
fun they have with it. And then

330
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.200
they go through and they get and
they go through and they spend the time

331
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:01.920
here um attempting to under cut the
service too, as like I understand your

332
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:06.960
man, why are you there?
Then why is that idiot from MSNBC who's

333
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.279
so mad that he because he has
over a million followers he now has a

334
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:15.119
blue check again, which wasn't across
the board thing the must did? Why

335
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:23.359
are all of you still there?
Then? Must whose statements to reporter?

336
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:31.000
Oh? They also pointed out what
did he do with the what was it?

337
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.359
He changed the email like the complaint
email or something. I can't remember

338
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.559
what it was. And essentially it
was a poop joke. Do you remember

339
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.559
that? I can't remember what it
was. But anyway, must whose statements

340
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:47.960
the reporters are regularly laced with jokes, insults, or trolling attempts, responded

341
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:54.519
sarcastically. When asked who would potentially
take over the MPR Twitter account, National

342
00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:02.960
Pumpkin Radio must wrote, adding a
fire emoji and a laughing emoji uh to

343
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:13.519
describe the content of the fictional gourd
themed broadcaster. He then added, NPR

344
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:20.279
hasn't tagged as government funded anymore,
so what's the beef? In an email

345
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:24.680
sent at two twenty in the morning
after the story was originally published, Mosque

346
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:29.759
wrote a message without any text in
the body, but the subject line was

347
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:37.799
you suck ross if you put a
fire emoji in it? Man, I

348
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:45.279
mean that's not That's how you know
somebody serious? You got the straight fire.

349
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.480
You have to add the sirens and
the fire in caps. That's what

350
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:55.759
I do anyway. Oh man,
what a bunch of a bunch of stick

351
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:02.759
In the MUDs Man six fifty two, Hang on, all right, very

352
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:10.519
chatty caffy. In that last segment
detelling the tears the tears people are sending

353
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:16.599
me suggestions National Patriot Radio. I
can do that one, but it's just

354
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.559
us talking about how the patriots cheap
is that? Is that what your idea?

355
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:23.199
Sir? Because if I'm down with
that or do you mean, like,

356
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.599
you know, patriotism and stuff,
because I think the other one would

357
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:34.199
be better. But yeah, use
it or lose it not a tough concept.

358
00:34:34.280 --> 00:35:20.880
Hang on, welcome everybody. It
is thee I canc O Day radio

359
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.119
program. A video's gotta be out
of here. I gonna send this to

360
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:32.079
Ross. I hadn't seen the actual
video of this, but I did see

361
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:43.280
um a picture of the girl after
du do do do? Do? They

362
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.159
just have it in a video?
Well, hang on just a second.

363
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.079
All right, here's the story I'm
gonna set Ross. I'm gonna send this

364
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:57.559
to you. I don't know why
they don't have the uh the video here,

365
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.760
just so I can. It's on
that. So this Heiss High School

366
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:07.559
volleyball. This happened in October of
last year. I remember hearing about I

367
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:13.119
had not seen the video. I
happen to see the video yesterday. This

368
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:19.360
is during a girls volleyball tournament last
month at Highlands High Volleyball Highlands High School,

369
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:27.800
where one of the players is a
biological male. This is in North

370
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:32.320
Carolina. We covered this story.
I had not seen the video footage of

371
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.840
the girls volleyball match. Emerged in
which the player suffered a serious injury after

372
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.719
the transgender player spiked a ball,
striking her in the head. By the

373
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.920
way, the comments on this are
crazy. They're like, all I see

374
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:51.599
is a talented volleyball player and another
one whose defensive skills suck. It's estimated

375
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:55.039
the volleyball was spiked at seventy miles
an hour, directly into the player's face.

376
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:05.960
The player who was spiked into continues
to suffer from long term concussion symptoms,

377
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.960
including problems with their vision. And
I this is in Cherokee Counties.

378
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:20.960
This is where out west. That's
crazy, all right, So we'll link

379
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:28.199
to the story. Why do they
not just have the video? That's very

380
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.920
annoying. I'm sure if I scrolled
a whole bunch I could find it.

381
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:35.239
Make your life a little easier.
She was knocked unconscious, by the way,

382
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:44.360
and again it is high school.
High school. Sorry, got a

383
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.599
little got a little sidetrack there,
So any who, All right eight eight

384
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:52.480
eight nine three four seven eight seventy
four. Ross watched the video on that

385
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:54.480
link, and then let me know
when you have, because I'm curious your

386
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:59.199
reaction because the first time I saw
it went, oh my gosh, that

387
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.119
is crazy. I remember the story, but I've never seen the video.

388
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:09.400
Absolutely brutal. So um, how
old were you when you started working?

389
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:16.599
Not at home, I mean away
from home, got yourself a job.

390
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.840
Depending on which state you grew up
in and what era you grew up in,

391
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:31.519
that number could be pretty low.
In Wyoming, I don't know what

392
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:36.800
it is now, but you could
get a job. There's certain things you

393
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.480
could do at twelve, but fourteen
was the cutoff. Incredibly. You can

394
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:45.679
also get a driver's license at fourteen
in Wyoming and having a job ticks one

395
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.159
of the boxes. It's called a
hardship license, and it can be distance

396
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:53.679
that you live, jobs, a
variety of things I can make you eligible

397
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.559
for that, but that's a terrifying
thought of fourteen year old tooling around in

398
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:07.760
a a two ton truck. That
being said, now there's some places where

399
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:09.119
if you're under the age eighteen,
you're gonna have a hard time getting a

400
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:16.360
job, let alone if you're you
know, under sixteen. But the moment

401
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:19.760
I was able to get a job, so I didn't have to do stuff

402
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.920
around the house or ranch or any
of that, and potentially could stay in

403
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:28.519
town a little longer I was.
I was all in. My first job

404
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:36.920
was a was bussing tables on the
weekends at a restaurant in Buffalo at the

405
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.440
Howard Johnson at the hotel there with
the restaurant, and then I worked a

406
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.880
little bit at our movie theater.
But then I got the radio gig at

407
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:53.280
fifteen, and that's all I've ever
done as far as underage stuff. When

408
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.840
I was eighteen, even though I
was only doing part time radio at that

409
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.920
point, I did, you know, roofing and welding and stuff like that

410
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:05.400
during the summer, directional boring,
you know, stuff to make money.

411
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.079
Though I was, I wanted to
get out there and I wanted to do

412
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.760
stuff like that, and so I've
always had something going on. But I

413
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:16.920
also don't begrudge necessarily somebody who is
a teenager if they don't have a job.

414
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:20.480
I think I think it's a good
thing. I think it builds character,

415
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.679
and if anything just gives you a
little bit of experience, builds a

416
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:34.639
routine, it's probably helpful as you
grow into an adult. However, this

417
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:40.679
is pushing the envelope just a little. A recent investigation into child labor violations

418
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:51.039
in Kentucky Indiana, Maryland, and
Ohio has found three franchises out of sixtyes,

419
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:57.039
so this guy they owned sixty McDonald's
and three franchises were spotlighted for the

420
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:04.639
purpose of this story. Basically,
the majority of the violations were excess hour

421
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:10.840
violations or time violations for underage workers, so kids who are under the age

422
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:16.639
of eighteen and in their in their
requisite states of Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland,

423
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:22.679
and Ohio, there is a limit
on the hours they can work,

424
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.679
right, so I don't know exactly
what it is, twenty twenty hours or

425
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:34.440
something, and the hours of the
day they could work. In many states

426
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.960
that cut off is ten o'clock and
it may fluctuate depending on the time of

427
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:42.280
the year, basically when schools in
session and when it's not all right,

428
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:46.800
So they were that's what they were
looking for. That's why they did these

429
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:53.960
investigations because with it being more and
more difficult to hire people in these fast

430
00:41:54.000 --> 00:42:01.639
food jobs, they have seen an
increase in people violating the rules and working

431
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.639
kids too long according to state law
or too late in the day. However,

432
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:15.639
it's what they found at three of
the locations, and specifically one in

433
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:22.559
Louisville, which is the reason that
we're doing this story. According to investigators

434
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.119
from the Department of Labor, at
one Louisville McDonald's location, two ten year

435
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:31.920
old children were working and they would
work a full forty hours up to and

436
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:38.159
including until two am. They had
ten year olds working back of house and

437
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:45.000
McDonald's who shift ran till two in
the morning. First, let me say,

438
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:52.800
those are some industrious kids right there. I'll give him that, But

439
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:57.039
this isn't Oh he's got twenty and
a half hours labor, Violet, you

440
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:05.920
have ten year old how does that
happen? Now? Specifically, as you

441
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:13.760
can imagine, the kids were related
to a McDonald's employee, and in this

442
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:19.000
case it was the night manager who
was having trouble staffing, right, so

443
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.079
they were not able to staff,
and they got the bright idea that,

444
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.920
well, you know, I got
some kids and put them on his employees

445
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.960
to work. Obviously, which is
a violation not just of labor laws but

446
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:39.360
also the franchise agreement with McDonald's,
as you can imagine, So they put

447
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:46.039
a statement out. The franchise in
this case is facing a combined total of

448
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:58.280
penalties in excess of two hundred thousand
dollars for the child labor violations. Too

449
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:02.440
often employers failed to follow child labor
laws to protect young workers, said Karen

450
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:08.079
Garnett Sivils, the agency's Wage an
Our Division District Director. This is DJ

451
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:14.440
or excuse me, d OL,
Department of Labor. Under no circumstances should

452
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.880
there ever be a ten year old
child working a deep friar. Well,

453
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:22.599
I don't know kids like French fries. By the way, why do I

454
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:29.000
assume that these ten year olds probably
would be able to give me dark meat

455
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:35.679
chicken at KFC? And they're ten? If you didn't know that, I

456
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:38.239
told the story that X I went, I went to get chicken, ordered

457
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:43.400
dark meat. Dude set me up
with a mix of white and dark and

458
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.719
then when I said no, no, no, I ordered dark meat.

459
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.960
Proceeded to take dark meat out and
keep the white meat. And it was

460
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.599
like, how do you not know
the parts of a chicken? You work

461
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:54.719
at KFC? I feel like these
ten year olds probably should get it.

462
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:01.079
According to investigators, the ten year
olds worked not just the deep friar,

463
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:17.679
but also we're working the grill.
Uh jeez, man, Lincoln's how old?

464
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:22.920
Eleven? Right? See eleven?
Now? I can't remember how old.

465
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:28.800
He just turned you get eleven,
and he doesn't have a full time

466
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.320
job yet. What the heck,
man, that's why you have all those

467
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.239
you know, back in the day, that's why you would have all the

468
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:39.639
kids mostly for in an agricultural setting, so you essentially have ranch hands you

469
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:45.280
can force to work. So I
don't know, man, but I remember,

470
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:46.679
you know, they always try to
tweak these laws in some of the

471
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:53.360
proposals over the years have been very
impactful in threatening the ability to essentially turn

472
00:45:53.440 --> 00:46:00.280
your children into a slave labor around
the old family homestead. So but yeah,

473
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:07.440
deep prior McDonald's, dad's gonna be
a problem, all right? Eight

474
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.239
eight eight nine seven eight seven four. Did you watched the video? By

475
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.800
the way, we're able to watch
it, all right, so some of

476
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:16.320
you have, let's grab some call
it's crazy. We retweeted the story.

477
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:19.440
You can go check it out.
I had not seen it again. I

478
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.039
remember the story. I remember it
happened in North Carolina. But what blew

479
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:28.559
me away is a picture I saw
this of the girl post getting whacked in

480
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:31.199
the face and it was brutal.
Man. I had to track it down.

481
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.000
The Daily Mail article for some reason, didn't have the video. But

482
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.079
I found it on Twitter. Okay, yeah, it's brutal. It's and

483
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:43.280
leading up to the to the spike
or whatever, there's no doubt in your

484
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:50.559
mind who the other who the correct
transplay? Yeah, no, it's it's

485
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:59.239
one of these people doesn't belong.
That thing's whipping. Man. I was

486
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.800
reading all this up to the ways
this girl's impacted. It's it's Kenny.

487
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:06.880
You know, she probably loved to
play volleyball. And that was it,

488
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.280
man, that was That was the
totality of her volleyball career done. You

489
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:14.639
know, one spike and these people
are like, oh wow, maybe she

490
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:22.599
should learn how to play defense.
Are you serious right now? Tom?

491
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:30.239
What's up? Yeah? So Megan
Kelly interviews this girl on her podcast It's

492
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.840
a really good podcast. She also
interviews an amazing young woman on the same

493
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:37.880
podcast from Ireland on a you know, same topic. But anyway, this

494
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:44.360
girl gets this ball spike in her
face and she's out for you know,

495
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.199
a few seconds, and she comes
to and the first thing she sees is

496
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:52.400
the other team standing at her,
laughing at her. You know, if

497
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.559
getting the ball spike in your faces
and enough, wake up to the other

498
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:02.760
team laughing at you and now this
person is taunting her on social media after

499
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.880
she went to the speed legislature.
You know, oh, I guess I'm

500
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:09.880
all up in your head now,
yeah, yeah, no, that would

501
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:15.440
be the lingering concussion symptoms that they're
all up all up in the head.

502
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.840
There it was. It was again. I hadn't seen the video. I've

503
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.039
ember seen the story, and I
happen to see the video. Yes,

504
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:27.119
and I'm like, good lord,
my podcast is really good. It's definitely

505
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.440
worth listening to. All right,
appreciate the call there, Tom, Thank

506
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:35.440
you very much. Jamal, real
quick, what's up? You know what,

507
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.880
Casey, I saw the video when
it first came out. You when

508
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.000
that boy went up in the area, you could tell that's a boy when

509
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:47.360
he jumped, he hit that ball
and he hit that girl. Those of

510
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:52.480
us who have been opposed to these
people for a while saying, hey,

511
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:58.119
they're not girls, these are boys. These people keep telling us, oh,

512
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.760
oh, the trans community aren't hurting
people. They're hurting a lot of

513
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:07.400
people. Every time they have physical
contact with their female counterpaulish a competition with,

514
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:12.199
they get hurt. These girls get
hurt. And as a fat of

515
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.320
the daddy, if that was my
daughter. I would have made the news

516
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.519
because I went out there on that
floor, me and him, and been

517
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.960
fighting hand to hand combat because there's
no way I'm gonna allow a boy to

518
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.639
do that to my daughter. And
we said this, We told people,

519
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:29.920
hey, this community want more than
marriage, just more than a sevens.

520
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:34.440
No, y'all just going at slippery
slope life. This ain't been a slippery

521
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.960
slope, casey. This is going
down to him a layers on a snowboard.

522
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:45.480
It's um, it's going to happen. We saw some We saw some

523
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.880
schools that have now decided that they're
just simply not They're not They're gonna forfeit

524
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:57.760
their masters masses or masses matches and
not play teams. Um where this is

525
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.440
the thing. And I think you're
going to see more in more of that,

526
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:05.199
and of course inevitably it will result
in lawsuits and Title nine investigations,

527
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:08.400
which is ironic considering what Title nine
was intended to do. But um,

528
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:13.239
yeah, this thing's gonna pick up
steam. Jamal. I appreciate the call

529
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.559
this morning, no doubt in my
mind. But yeah, yeah, you

530
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:22.280
saw people didn't want their kids playing
football. This is volleyball, man,

531
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:27.840
and that that girl's probably never going
to be the same, judging by what

532
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.559
I was reading there. All right, anyway, it's a seven twenty two

533
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:37.119
hanging You're Day Smarter and celebrating ten
years of keeping you better informed. One

534
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:45.599
oh six one FM Talk and News
Talk five WPTI more with Casey starts.

535
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:52.079
Now, well, that's just corporate
greed right there. If you got ten

536
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.960
year olds work in the fry the
fry machine at mcdone. And then I

537
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:05.039
remember the Chicago Cubs hired a twelve
year old to pitch, so you know,

538
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:07.119
we're a Rookie of the Year.
I had to look up what the

539
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.920
movie was, and then we bross
and we were talking about the basketball version

540
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.800
with a little bow. Wow.
I thought, I think one of the

541
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:21.000
Home Improvement kids did a football version
too, but apparently those weren't real.

542
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:29.679
So hang loos celebrating ten years of
keeping you connected. This is ninety four

543
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:35.320
five WPTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

544
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:46.440
All right, thirty five Welcome back, Casey. Okay radio program coming

545
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:52.679
up, Mark Walker, he'll join
us. That's about thirty minutes from now

546
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:01.320
Ever you ever checked into a hotel
room and just noped right out of there

547
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:07.280
and back and like, no,
I'm in another room. Where was?

548
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:15.960
I was at the Renaissance in Asheville
Hotel down there in Nashville, and I

549
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:19.480
go to my room and I walk
in and it looked like one of the

550
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:25.559
eighties hair bands. I had had
a party in there. And I go

551
00:52:25.639 --> 00:52:30.000
downstairs and I'm like and I realized, okay, well, obviously there was

552
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:38.719
a miscommunication with housekeeping in the front
desk and she gave me the wrong room.

553
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:42.679
So I go back downstairs and I
remember that I was talking to the

554
00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:45.440
chick at the desk and I'm like, yeah, they that room's not clean,

555
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:52.000
and in fact, it's incredibly not
clean, and so she gets on

556
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:53.440
a little walkie talk here whatever,
but she kind of walks in the back

557
00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:55.480
room. I can't hear her,
and she's like, well, sir,

558
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.079
that's the room you've been assigned,
so you're gonna have to wait for you

559
00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:04.360
don't have to wait for housekeeping going
and take care out. I'm like,

560
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.000
what are you talking about. It's
like, because it's like five thirty at

561
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:13.159
six o'clock at night, right,
it's not one minute after when you're allowed

562
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:16.400
to check in and I'm like,
you don't have any other room that there's

563
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.000
like nobody in the parking lot.
Can I just have another room? She's

564
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:21.880
like, wow, you've already been
a sign. I remember. It was

565
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:30.159
just the most in one of the
more frustrating conversations customer service conversations. But

566
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:35.199
I already had my money. I
think I had. I think I'd booked

567
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:37.760
and paid for it on one of
the travel sites. I didn't even book

568
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:45.400
it through Marriott, which is the
they run the Renaissance hotels, and nah,

569
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.320
she went out there, and so
I'm like, well whatever, put

570
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:52.159
my bags back behind the desk,
and I walked over to there's like a

571
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:58.199
cocktail bar restaurant kind of near where
that's at, and I go over there

572
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:01.239
and I'm over there for like two
hours. I come back. It still

573
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:06.320
hadn't done anything with the room,
and I'm like, well, this is

574
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:10.239
dumb. So I've said I'm gonna
try to find another room, and they're

575
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.800
like, well, we have a
twenty four hour cancelation. It was just

576
00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:19.039
the weirdest thing. So eventually they
do clean the room and I go up

577
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:23.039
in there and it smells horrible,
just horrible, and I can't figure out

578
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:25.400
what the heck's going on. I'm
telling you the story because wait till you

579
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:30.960
hear what happened to this dude.
And I'm trying to figure out what it's

580
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:37.079
like. Um, what was that
Ocean's thirteen where they were they put all

581
00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:39.760
that horribleness into that dude's room,
who's the reviewer for the five Diamonds award.

582
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:45.239
It smelled roughly like that, and
so I'm trying to seek it out.

583
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:49.239
They had cleaned the room, so
I couldn't comprehend how the maid had

584
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:52.280
cleaned the room and didn't figure out
what the smell was. And I go

585
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:59.000
over and I opened the closet and
they have one of those little fold things

586
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.679
that you put your luggage, and
it's got extra blankets and pillows on it,

587
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:06.559
and the smell's coming from there.
I lifted up and somebody had vomited

588
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.239
all over in there, and they
failed to clean it. And I'm telling

589
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:15.119
you that because in this case,
this dude checked into a hotel. He

590
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:17.639
was in there for several hours,
but said that eventually the smell became so

591
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:25.199
overwhelming he started to look around and
lo and behold, he looked under the

592
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:31.840
bed and there was a dead body
in there. Yep, he said.

593
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:37.519
At first when he checked in,
even with the overwhelming smell, he assumed

594
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:42.280
initially that maybe his shoes stunk,
so he actually took a three hour nap.

595
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:44.920
So he took a nap over this
dead body which was under the bed.

596
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:52.039
Eventually, the man who says he
doesn't like confrontation did notify the hotel

597
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:58.440
and of the smell, and it
was at that point they discovered that there

598
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:05.360
was a dead body. What kills
me is they don't actually say how the

599
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:09.360
dead body ended up there. So
I guess I'll just be happy with.

600
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:15.239
Unfortunately, what I had to deal
with, all right, us the name

601
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:20.880
of the hotel. Well, anyway, all right, I wanted to get

602
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:30.159
these two articles in, so let
me get into this other one. The

603
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:37.239
the scores for eighth graders for math
history things along those lines obviously took a

604
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:45.159
hit post COVID. However, one
of the most disturbing trends, which actually

605
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:50.679
was something that initially was a problem
back in the nineties and school districts around

606
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:55.320
the country had attempted to remedy and
the numbers were moving in a more positive

607
00:56:55.320 --> 00:57:01.360
direction, continues continue to be a
problem, even though math scores are starting

608
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:08.599
to recover as a national average,
and the Department of Education apparently as clueless

609
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:13.000
as to why this may be.
So I thought maybe we could solve the

610
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:19.599
mystery because I have some thoughts.
So eighth graders have the lowest US History

611
00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:24.719
score ever for the twenty twenty two
school year and the lowest Civics score ever,

612
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:30.880
according to a new report by the
Department of Education, Yes, the

613
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:37.639
federal History and Civics testing data,
the first that has given been released after

614
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:43.440
COVID, shows that over the last
few years, all progress that have been

615
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:47.280
gained since the mid eighties, when
an emphasis was put on increasing eighth graders

616
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:53.000
knowledge of history and civics has been
washed away. In fact, only thirteen

617
00:57:53.199 --> 00:58:02.440
percent of eighth graders currently meet proficiency
standards for history and Civics, and basically

618
00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:08.840
proficient means that students can explain major
themes, periods, events, people,

619
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:16.079
ideas, and turning points in the
nation's history, and currently only one percent

620
00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:25.039
of students are rated as what is
considered advanced. All right, so how

621
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:31.480
do we get here? How do
we get here? And the remedy that

622
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:37.000
I saw in this article from some
of these folks over the Department of Education

623
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:45.320
is that the testing that is utilized
to determine proficiency needs to be updated to

624
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:58.119
better reflect the current trends in history
and civics education. So let's parse that

625
00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:01.199
statement real quick. What the hell
does that mean? And I think what

626
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:07.239
it means and you're probably onto this
as well. What they mean is kids

627
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:10.280
are going in and they're getting sixteen
nineteen and then when they go test this

628
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:22.840
stuff, they're testing for traditional history
and civics. So instead of hey,

629
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:30.519
George Washington, one of the examples
they gave where the only fact about George

630
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.719
Washington that was part of the test
that the majority of students did know is

631
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:45.199
that he owned slaves. The vast
majority of students did not know that George

632
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:52.119
Washington was a military general. They
didn't know he was a president of the

633
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:59.400
United States. However, less than
half the kids were able to correctly identify

634
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:06.440
him as the first president. These
are eighth graders, and I liked history

635
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:12.599
from a little kid up to now
I'm a history nerd. I cannot fathom

636
01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:17.599
being what how old is eighth great
was that twelve thirteen? I can't fathom

637
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:22.559
being a thirteen year old and not
knowing that George Washington was the first president.

638
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:28.199
My son knew that George Washington was
the first president before kindergarten. Your

639
01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:32.440
boy has he? Lincoln can tell
you what day of the week, a

640
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:37.000
date in history that is correct,
right, But when it comes to the

641
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.639
when it comes to presidents, that's
like one of his, that's like one

642
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:45.800
of his his things. He used
to be, Yes, the flash cards.

643
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.119
I mean it moves on from different
things. So, I mean,

644
01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:51.400
I don't know if he would still
be as proficient as he was, but

645
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.119
there was a time where he could
give you the order of the presidents.

646
01:00:54.639 --> 01:01:00.280
Can you how far up the order
can you get Washington? Pretty damn far?

647
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:05.760
Yeah. And more importantly, the
questions that they're asking these kids are

648
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:08.599
not like, you know, give
me the inauguration date of George Washington,

649
01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:13.800
which I frankly I don't know what
that day is, But it's just like

650
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.079
which president was he? Can you
imagine being thirteen and not knowing he was

651
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:23.159
the first president, but knowing that
he owned slaves. Yeah, the issue

652
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:28.880
is here. You don't this so
you don't need to update the tests,

653
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.159
You need to update the teaching.
Right, So we have an expectation that

654
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:36.719
people are going to know these things. They're not being taught them. Obviously

655
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:39.840
they're being taught. They're being absolute
bullcrap. Yes, And then when they

656
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:44.760
don't actually passed the history test,
which involves actual real history, they're like,

657
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.280
what happened? I don't know,
well, because I see this BS

658
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:51.239
argument where they're like, well,
you know, they don't want to teach.

659
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:52.400
There's part of it. They don't
want to teach the good stuff.

660
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:57.400
You know, there's room to teach
all this stuff. And I don't necessarily

661
01:01:57.400 --> 01:02:00.559
disagree in many instances, if you're
not changing it and you want to be

662
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:04.360
more comprehensive, teach the good and
the bad, I mean, but that's

663
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.719
what they always did. This whole
argument that that slavery in the history of

664
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:10.880
reconstruction and all of this wasn't taught
as complete bowl right. So yeah,

665
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:16.840
we grew up in you know,
post MLK junior nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties.

666
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:20.159
It was all part of the curriculum. It always has been, and

667
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.599
we always learned about the Civil War, We learned about reconstruction, we learned

668
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:25.320
about Jim Crow, we learned all
about this stuff. We this civil rights

669
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:29.360
movement, it's always been part of
it, and they try to make this

670
01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:31.199
argument as if it wasn't. It's
always been what are you talking about?

671
01:02:31.639 --> 01:02:36.880
Yeah, it's but it sounds like
now you want you're jettison all the basic

672
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:42.039
stuff. I mean, now,
again, we did learn about that.

673
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:45.719
We spent an obviously a lot of
time talking about the western expansion, just

674
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:52.280
being out west, right, and
um, we've very much learned about the

675
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:58.480
good and the bad. Right.
We learned about the displacement of Native American

676
01:02:58.519 --> 01:03:02.559
tribes, treaties that we ever decided
we were going to follow through with wholesale

677
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:07.239
slaughters of individuals, I mean really, you know, the dark stuff.

678
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:13.000
And we learned about also manifest destiny
and the expansion westward of the railroads,

679
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:17.639
cattle barons, all this, and
it was very comprehensive. So you know,

680
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:22.119
this garbage while they're duly teaching the
goods stuff. No ide Washington own

681
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.880
slaves. Here's a fun fact too. He was legally obligated that he couldn't

682
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:30.719
free his slaves against the law in
Virginia. There's a fun history thing if

683
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:34.719
you want to include it, and
he wanted to. It's in his diary.

684
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:37.599
But I had somebody argue with me
on Twitter that they're like always different

685
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:40.079
when like I'm super I mean I'm
old, but they're like I'm super old.

686
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:43.519
It was different when you when you
were in high school there was an

687
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.920
African American history. I'm like,
yes, there was. I took it

688
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:49.800
in nineteen ninety four. I was
the only white kid in the class took

689
01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:52.599
that. That was a thing.
We took the year long course. So

690
01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:57.480
don't give me that ball. It's
always been taught. What we were not

691
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.199
taught is this critical race theory.
Once again, I want to say we're

692
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:09.079
other than bullcrap bs right, that
whites are completely responsible for all the tragedies

693
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:12.000
and all the horrible things in the
world, like and that you're bore.

694
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:14.159
You're boy, it's like you're born
in sin, you know. I just

695
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:17.039
I can't even Yeah, that's what
we weren't taught. We weren't taught critical

696
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:21.559
race theory. We were taught the
actual history of the country in regards to

697
01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:25.599
slavery. I'm looking at some of
these other This whole thing's embarrassing. I'll

698
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:28.280
get to more of it in a
moment. Race age IX just patiently right,

699
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:31.119
Yeah, no worries. Kids are
just getting dumber. I feel like

700
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:34.960
the guy. I feel bad for
the kids, man. Yeah, and

701
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:39.400
I mean only you and I know
that Millard Fillmore was the thirteenth President of

702
01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:44.239
the United States, Right, Why
would you were saying that, I don't

703
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:47.519
know. I figured i'd give you
an interesting fact, so then you were

704
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:51.400
bringing up president. So anyway,
Well, the majority of kids in eighth

705
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:55.559
grade don't know that George Washington was
the first president. How does that happen?

706
01:04:55.559 --> 01:04:59.599
I know that's said. Yeah.
The truth is, I knew a

707
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.480
lot of president history, but just
for some reason, thirteen stuck out in

708
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:13.320
my mind. Race Aging's passion.
I've got a room that cosplays cosplays.

709
01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:17.119
Yeah. Well, you know,
the weather's gonna be good next few days.

710
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.440
We'll see a little more cloud by
tomorrow. A low seventies today for

711
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:24.199
most. Um, a little cool
to us this morning, though there is

712
01:05:24.239 --> 01:05:27.760
some frost a west of the try
it and those numbers will come up at

713
01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:30.880
night too. And then a weekend
we'll have some showers thundershowers around. Next

714
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:32.880
week's gonna have a look and feel
of springtime temperatures in the eighties, and

715
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:36.559
maybe even each day we'll have a
threat for showers thunderstorms during the afternoon.

716
01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:40.400
Hours. Okay, all right,
we'll try to hit you on time next

717
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:43.559
time thirteen, No problem, all
right, you get us some more Millard

718
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:45.599
film or fun factions and we'll talk
to you. Sounds a good. All

719
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:57.280
right, hang on show. After
the show's on the iHeart Radio act.

720
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:02.320
Search case O Day for the podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. All right,

721
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:08.559
seven fifty four case O Day Radio
program. Yeah. So we had we

722
01:06:08.599 --> 01:06:14.280
had, um j junior sophomore year
of high school. American history is one

723
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:21.679
of the required I also took a
Western history class and it was Here's what

724
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:29.239
was interesting, um, it was
the part where they talked about the establishment

725
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.719
of the frontier forts, including Fort
phil Kearney, which was the closest one

726
01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:39.360
to where where I lived, which
was also the base that Custer was based

727
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:44.079
out of. And we did the
whole thing where they talked about essentially them

728
01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:49.039
clearing that route, this connectivity on
the Bozeman Trail of Native American tribes there,

729
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:56.480
including essentially running the Crow Indians from
the foothills there are the big Horns

730
01:06:56.599 --> 01:07:01.159
up to where currently the reservation is
up by Harden and where Custer's last stand

731
01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:04.079
and all that took place, and
what was awkward is like five of the

732
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:09.679
kids in my class, or Crow. So I was talking about that African

733
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.639
American history class right nineteen ninety three, nineteen ninety four freshman year was the

734
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:16.559
first ever African American history class,
asking to the high school. I was

735
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.559
the only white kid in the class
in the first day. Mister Yetwin rolls

736
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:23.480
out of the TV and we start
watching Roots, and I can tell you

737
01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:29.599
I was uncomfortable. I was there, man, I know, I think

738
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:35.159
that's a fine name I with what
you know. Jeez. It was interesting

739
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.000
because I told one of my one
of my very good friends, Travis Crow.

740
01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:42.880
It's still still a good buddy of
mine. And uh he's funny too

741
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:46.039
because him and I would have this
whole rapport because my family it goes back

742
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:50.239
to like one of the you know, first wagon train families to settle out

743
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:55.719
there. So I wasn't there,
but I do have the name of somebody

744
01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:59.800
who was there kind of stuff.
And it was interesting because they're showing us

745
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:04.320
actually how they were clearing the area, and uh, they signed two treaties

746
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:08.079
I can't remember what they were,
and then they basically just wiped their butt

747
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:11.920
with them. And then we get
to the part where Custer decides he's going

748
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:15.439
to go out to Harden to deal
with some issues and they got massacred up

749
01:08:15.479 --> 01:08:21.439
there, and uh like Travis and
his buddies were looking pretty smug. It

750
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:26.800
was funny. Uh. And I
remember after the class too, he's like,

751
01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:30.920
yeah, yeah, we got that
one. But but that's also when

752
01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:35.119
you could literally have those conversations with
people, right, you could, and

753
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:39.319
and you know, I just love
to lap it up. Meanwhile, you're

754
01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:45.000
sitting there watching LeVar Burton going,
oh, it was a fascinating course though.

755
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.039
Man, it was. I get
straight Ason, I got. I

756
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:50.880
enjoyed the course. It was.
It was because I'm a big fan of

757
01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:55.000
history and I want to know every
part of this country. I want I

758
01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:57.039
want to know the good, I
want to know the bad. And but

759
01:08:57.199 --> 01:09:00.159
this argument that it hasn't been taught
in the past, and you're seeing it

760
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:03.840
down in Florida now today, right, is it gets garbage. It's not

761
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:08.399
true. Well, they I don't
know what they're teaching. They're not teaching

762
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.319
the stuff on the test questions.
I'll tell you that I was, actually

763
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:15.079
I was. There's an article here
where they have some of the questions.

764
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:19.039
Why were European explorers trying to sail
rivers like Henry Hudson did in the sixteen

765
01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:24.520
hundreds. They were trying to find
a water. Essentially, they spent years

766
01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:29.760
trying to find a water passage through
this land. So which is the following?

767
01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:32.039
Is a right guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights? Public education? Healthcare?

768
01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:39.760
Trial by jury? Or vote?
Trial by jury? Those people think

769
01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:45.880
voting's in there, it's not.
I mean, these questions, these are

770
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:50.119
the harder ones in this little article. They're fair. But man, if

771
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:53.680
you don't know George washing was the
first president, you're not getting the rest

772
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:59.199
of this stuff. I feel bad
for the kids. Man. All right,

773
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:34.079
Mark Walker, we'll join us next
hang on here on your Thursday Haco

774
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:40.239
Kay Radio program. We wait.
We got a lot to get into and

775
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:44.680
to help us get into it.
Former Congressman Mark Walker joins us this morning.

776
01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:47.199
Mark, How are you doing thing, sir Okathy, I'm doing good,

777
01:10:47.319 --> 01:10:50.199
of thinks back in North Caroline.
Don't think that's the first time in

778
01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:54.159
a few weeks since we've talked.
I've been back home. But we're doing

779
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:56.439
well. How are you doing well? It's too bad. I'm good.

780
01:10:56.560 --> 01:11:00.479
It's too bad because I was gonna
get a little echo return on your phone

781
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:03.600
there. Okay, there we go. Um, Mark, I'm gonna put

782
01:11:03.640 --> 01:11:08.479
you on hold because I'm getting a
echo on this phone line. So um,

783
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:11.960
okay, let me try something here
real quick, we pick up the

784
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:15.439
line. Maybe I'm the only one
hearing it, all right? Uh are

785
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:20.199
you there? Okay? Well,
no, we're good now. So whatever

786
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:25.039
it was, Uh, somebody sabotaging
your interview. They don't want you to

787
01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:28.359
They don't want people to know the
truth. Mark. Um, that's exactly

788
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:30.760
right. All right, So boy, where do I even start? Yeah,

789
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:34.079
I'm gonna start with the story I
started on this morning, and people

790
01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:39.039
are they're not happy with me,
but I really don't care. I don't

791
01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:44.800
need to watch the Republicans turn into
Adam Schiff. Here's what I mean by

792
01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:46.199
that. And one of these guys
I think is your buddy. So,

793
01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:51.239
um, maybe you can help me. Uh. Story FBI tip that allegedly

794
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:58.479
puts Biden at center of criminal schemes
sends sluice uh scattering around the world,

795
01:11:58.640 --> 01:12:03.399
right, And basically it's this whistleblower
tip about a quote document that allegedly puts

796
01:12:03.439 --> 01:12:09.640
President Biden at the center of a
bribery scheme. This was being discussed by

797
01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:15.319
James Coomer and Chuck Grassley. Comber
chairs the House Oversight Committee, by the

798
01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:21.479
way, and they don't say what
what country even they don't say what it

799
01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:26.199
is. They simply said that the
FBI they requested a document from him.

800
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:29.560
They have tell May tenth to turn
it over. But don't worry. They

801
01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:33.000
have this anonymous whistleblower and it's really
really bad and we should just believe them,

802
01:12:33.239 --> 01:12:36.800
and they may be one hundred percent
right, but you still have to

803
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:41.119
get the FBI to turn this thing
over. I don't I don't buy this

804
01:12:41.159 --> 01:12:44.319
whole theory of a smoking gun.
Just sitting there. I think things are

805
01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:47.239
way too complex when you get up
to the upper echelands of politics. But

806
01:12:47.800 --> 01:12:53.960
I get these vibes of all the
stuff that I hated to see during the

807
01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:57.239
Trump administration, with people like Adam
Schiff going, oh, no, man,

808
01:12:57.359 --> 01:13:00.000
no, we got we got collusion
evidence. He's in manaturing candidate.

809
01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:03.239
I've seen it. It's really bad. And I'm just to the point where

810
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:06.279
I don't care what side of the
aisle you are on. Put up or

811
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:10.520
shut up, and don't bug me
until you do. Because all this is

812
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:15.720
going to be is a week long
fundraising thing for Republicans. So am I

813
01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:18.119
am I just so jaded? I
need to I need to take a break,

814
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:23.159
or is I was? What do
you think of this? So?

815
01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:26.760
I don't completely disagree with you,
but I do think there's a touch of

816
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:31.560
cynicism or jaded that you're using,
because it's it's the adage a fool me

817
01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:34.439
want shame on you, fool me
twice, shame on me. And I

818
01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:38.439
and I get where you're coming from, and probably many of the American people.

819
01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:40.880
Look, we've heard this story.
You've told us that there's this.

820
01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:44.439
You know, this has been going
on since Lois Learner and geta recutting everybody

821
01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:48.520
else. So if you're going to
try to engage me to get excited about

822
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:53.840
it or our sending campaign dollars,
you know, uh, what's the old

823
01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:58.319
movie Show Me the Money? So
that that that part of it I do

824
01:13:58.359 --> 01:14:01.680
get. However, there aren't different
moments when there just seems to be a

825
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:06.840
little bit of different energy around this, and specifically when when when you're getting

826
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:11.000
the senators involved as well not saitting
the house, it gets a little eager,

827
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:14.199
but you know that there is a
lot more fervor on the House side.

828
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:17.279
So when Chuck Grassley's involved, and
I think it's what they call an

829
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:23.600
FD ten twenty three, which gives
the FBI director I think, approximately one

830
01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:28.479
week to turn over the specific documents
and all. It all comes down to

831
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:33.920
the credibility of this whistleblower who is
legally protected. But for I do agree

832
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:39.079
with you, is like, look, just don't don't come out and be

833
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:42.359
in the a block of all the
media chet until you've get something you've not

834
01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:46.159
even seen, specifically the document that
the FBI allegedly has. So when you

835
01:14:46.199 --> 01:14:49.199
do that, then you come and
tell me, hey, this is the

836
01:14:49.239 --> 01:14:54.920
smoking gun. Joe Briden was vice
president, he was involved in this illegal

837
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:59.319
scheme operation. Otherwise it's just continue
to be smoking mirrors a little bit.

838
01:14:59.399 --> 01:15:03.560
But Evan said that they're different from
the guy to talk with. There seems

839
01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:09.239
a little bit more energy around this
particular situation. Grassly said, and I'm

840
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:14.359
going to quote here this is the
description we have. The tip involves quote

841
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:19.159
an alleged criminal scheme involving then Vice
President Biden and a foreign national relating to

842
01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:24.720
a change of money for policy decisions, which I you know, as with

843
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:28.319
all of the Bizma stuff and the
big guy and the ten part. You

844
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:31.319
know, all of these little things. If there is going to be a

845
01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:35.439
scandal, this is what I would
think it would look like. But we

846
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:41.000
don't even know the country. And
frankly, do you trust the FBI to

847
01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:45.960
comply wholehearted or withness? No?
No, And that's and that's the part

848
01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:48.600
where I said, I look,
I respect your cynicism and are your Jada

849
01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:55.199
point of view on this because you've
get you've get these factors involved, these

850
01:15:55.279 --> 01:16:00.439
weak leaks in the chain that first
of all, they already had something like

851
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:02.840
this. You know that they would
either come clean with it or there's some

852
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:08.239
intentionalities they didn't want to come share
it. So just because you're throwing over

853
01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:11.680
to the FBI's okay, you gotta
wait to give us this information. It's

854
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.680
not as simple that. There's lots
of complexities and complications with this because you're

855
01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:19.399
dealing sometimes with the various factors who
are in these agencies trying to protect this

856
01:16:19.479 --> 01:16:24.560
administration. We have seen this in
multiple instances with Hunter Biden, etc.

857
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:30.800
Now or I do like this investigations. As despicable as Hunter Biden is,

858
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:34.760
he was not elected Joe Biden was
the vice president of the United States.

859
01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:39.640
So if there is a pay for
play in this aspect, which is highly

860
01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:43.079
illegal, which is treason us,
then I think this is something that at

861
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:47.079
least you've got to chase this trail
specifically with all the other different things.

862
01:16:47.079 --> 01:16:51.840
There are five bidens that documented that
have taken millions of dollars from different things.

863
01:16:51.880 --> 01:16:56.600
I'm hearing close to eight to twelve. Five have been documented. But

864
01:16:56.640 --> 01:17:00.520
we want to make sure because what
happens, it becomes a credibility issue.

865
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:04.960
Not with our wonderful hard right fur
it Republican base and God bless the folks

866
01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:09.439
that are out in the front lines, but but like it North Carolina,

867
01:17:09.479 --> 01:17:13.600
for example, of the registered voters
or Republicans, how do you get the

868
01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:15.800
rest of the world to pay attention
to this or the rest of the attention

869
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.880
to pay attention to it? You
do it when you come with credibility.

870
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:23.439
Here's the facts, here's what happened, here's the country, et cetera,

871
01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:27.680
et cetera. Let's say that they
did have something. Let's and I'm just

872
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:30.479
gonna plug in play because again we
don't know, we don't know what it

873
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:34.000
may be. But Let's say that
it is Ukraine, which is I guess

874
01:17:34.000 --> 01:17:40.239
probably the most likely. So let's
say it's Ukraine and it's during that transition

875
01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:45.239
time with the former president of Ukraine
who was basically a Putin puppet who was

876
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:50.640
then outs didn't we get the current
current president and it had to do with

877
01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:58.439
access for the purpose of energy policy
or whatever. But basically, well,

878
01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:01.520
we'll push a policy decision and this
will enrich a bunch of people over there,

879
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:05.600
and then we'll get these these dollars
for consulting. Right, let's say

880
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:10.720
it's everything that they promised to be. One of the things Trump was impeached

881
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:17.359
over was asking Ukraine to literally pursue
this investigation. So what even happens if

882
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:24.239
that does prove true? Are they
even like, do you think that it's

883
01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:29.039
too partisan to actually out to president
if every single piece of that was proven

884
01:18:29.039 --> 01:18:33.880
true? No, I don't think
it's We're living in new day and age.

885
01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:39.279
I mean, we've never had a
president peached twice over partisan lines.

886
01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:44.520
And if this is true, the
take of this zoom out a little bit.

887
01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:48.560
Seventy percent of the country do not
believe Joe Biden needs to run again.

888
01:18:49.479 --> 01:18:55.119
Many if not right on the line
of majority of Democrats are having problems

889
01:18:55.119 --> 01:19:00.199
with his reelection. So sometimes even
if there's a little bit of gray area,

890
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:01.800
and this could be the smoking gun, I don't want to discount that,

891
01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:08.720
But there's different motivating factors for going
after people. All sometimes you need

892
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:12.680
is a little bit of evidence and
the Kirsten Cinemas and the Joe Mansion,

893
01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:15.600
who I think's got his own plans
coming up soon. Uh, it wouldn't

894
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:19.119
take a whole lot to move the
needle to get the majority in both the

895
01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:24.079
houses there and that you know it
happened with the majority of the House,

896
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:27.359
isn't the problem. You know that
it's not about the House, correct They

897
01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:30.319
can get that. It's the Senate
and they need they need more than just

898
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:33.479
Mansion and Cinema to come over.
They're going to need at least ten others.

899
01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:36.840
So correctly, yes, no,
So no, you're you're right,

900
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:40.640
But there's there's a lot of a
lot of those folks and not saying it's

901
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:45.159
all politically driven, but I know
Washington well enough to know that it's all

902
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:49.880
about benefiting yourself and whatever that might
be. If there's a push to you

903
01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:53.880
know, we don't need an eighty
two year old Joe Biden running again.

904
01:19:54.279 --> 01:19:58.479
Uh that there's enough evidence here.
Let's sitting in packing and Uh, I

905
01:19:58.520 --> 01:20:00.399
mean that this is not out to
bounce. I guess to your question,

906
01:20:01.039 --> 01:20:05.359
Yeah, I this is more cynical
me. I just I don't know that

907
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:09.439
you get enough Democrats to come over
even if even if that was shown.

908
01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:11.560
I mean, I could already hear
the excuse, Well, he was vice

909
01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:15.439
president, he was looking after his
kid, who misrepresented what it was.

910
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:17.760
Blah blah blah, you know,
all of that garbage. They'll never apologize

911
01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:24.600
to Trump if it turned out to
be exactly that, obviously. But yeah,

912
01:20:24.279 --> 01:20:27.000
I guess I can see a little
of what you're saying. Basically,

913
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:29.880
it gives him an excuse to kick
the guide to the curb, but it

914
01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:33.720
does irreparable damage to the party apparatus
too, And then we have to deal

915
01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:39.479
with Kamala Harris's president your god.
So but but yeah, no, but

916
01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:44.039
but and you're going into a presidential
season, so there are no rules as

917
01:20:44.079 --> 01:20:49.199
far as pushing somebody overboard. So
yes, you need additional Democrat senators.

918
01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:53.960
But if Joe Biden continues to tank, its approval ratings at thirty seven percent

919
01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:57.960
if you average across the board.
If this is more baggage, it begins

920
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:02.720
to pull him down. Gavin Newsom's
waiting end the weeks and chumping at the

921
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:08.199
bits. So I'm just saying this
is not outside too far fetched, thinking

922
01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:12.359
that if this thing goes south on
them, they would do what they had

923
01:21:12.399 --> 01:21:15.520
to do to get this guy.
If if Jill Biden couldn't talk him out

924
01:21:15.560 --> 01:21:18.279
of it or wouldn't want it,
they'll still have to be an ability to

925
01:21:18.279 --> 01:21:23.720
be able to do that. You
mentioned Joe Mansion and you kind of alluded

926
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:26.960
to it. This is a this
is an interesting scenario going on in West

927
01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:31.159
Virginia. Obviously he's a Democrat,
but he's very popular in previous elections.

928
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:36.279
The problem he runs into now is
what's the guy's name, Jim Justice?

929
01:21:36.399 --> 01:21:42.520
Right? Yeah, yes, gather
yeah, and his bulldog, which everybody

930
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:45.159
apparently loves there in West Virginia.
But you know the idea that a Jim

931
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:49.319
Justice could come in there and run
against him and likely beat him. Do

932
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:56.560
you think Mansion may have his hand
forced to flip parties? No? No,

933
01:21:56.640 --> 01:21:59.439
that ship is sailed. So here's
what I think. Course A got

934
01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:03.159
a friend Alex Mooney we're anning of
that races as well, but who take

935
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:06.039
crews? I believe it's endorsed.
But this is going to This is Jim

936
01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:11.920
Justice as a race. Mansion knows
that he can't win again. Justice has

937
01:22:11.960 --> 01:22:15.199
already announced, so he can't beat
him. As a Republican. There's really

938
01:22:15.239 --> 01:22:17.199
only one avenue that I see,
and it kind of reludes back to what

939
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.239
I said not to be too kind
of strategical this morning. You don't see

940
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:28.039
Joe Biden doing Sean Hannity because he's
he's he doesn't have plans in the future,

941
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:31.680
I think. I don't think it's
been solidified. There's there's a group

942
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:36.319
called No Labels that's beginning to grow
that has some high end names on it,

943
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:41.479
former Republicans, former Democrats that I
think Joe mansions connected with. So

944
01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:44.840
I don't want to get ever ridden
by skis here, but don't be surprised

945
01:22:44.880 --> 01:22:49.000
if Joe mentioned at some point doesn't
announce bigger plans as a Democrat or as

946
01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:55.600
an independent independent. Yeah, do
you think an independent president could get in

947
01:22:55.640 --> 01:22:58.319
there? Every time I ask this, I remember, you know, we

948
01:22:58.840 --> 01:23:03.359
independent senators, independent governors. Jesse
Ventura ran as an independent take of that

949
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:08.760
what you will. Arguably, even
though Trump ran as a Republican UM,

950
01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:14.239
he he didn't sell He didn't smack
of standard GOP that may have been the

951
01:23:14.319 --> 01:23:18.640
label. But he drew across voters
that definitely probably hadn't voted for a Republican

952
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:23.399
presidential candidate in a while. So
I don't know. Maybe there's a lot

953
01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:26.159
of type for it. Yeah,
I don't. I don't know. It's

954
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:28.640
yes, you run on Trump.
He drew a lot of union support,

955
01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:32.479
blue collar Democrats, at least the
first time. Uh. But but here's

956
01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:36.560
here's the problem. It's it's about
the money. Are there enough? You

957
01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:42.199
know, these major donors, both
in the Republicans and Democrats, with these

958
01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:45.880
with the fible one force, which
is the dark money side of things.

959
01:23:45.399 --> 01:23:48.239
You know, is there enough?
Is there enough that he can make an

960
01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:54.359
effort and make a run and come
across this centterest and communicated that way.

961
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:59.279
Um, that's that's the challenge there. Um. But but yeah, it

962
01:23:59.279 --> 01:24:01.920
would be interesting to see who would
hurt more more, either Joe Biden or

963
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:05.640
whoever the Republican nominee might be.
All right, a few minutes and I

964
01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:10.039
want to flip over to a bill
and I'm not this if you haven't heard

965
01:24:10.119 --> 01:24:13.920
this yet, not you Mark,
I know you know, but there is

966
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:19.000
there is legislation that is being co
sponsored by AOC, and Matt Gates just

967
01:24:19.319 --> 01:24:25.880
let that settle in. And specifically
it has to do with stock trading by

968
01:24:25.920 --> 01:24:32.680
members of Congress. And there the
story that they're grabbing onto right now is

969
01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:39.079
several lawmakers who sold off First Republic
Bank shares a few weeks ago. When

970
01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:43.680
all of that stuff came to light, Obviously that bank was seized and sold

971
01:24:43.880 --> 01:24:47.720
JP Morgan like over the weekend,
just boomed on and they're saying, well,

972
01:24:47.720 --> 01:24:51.399
this is just another example of them
with the inside information. And I

973
01:24:51.439 --> 01:24:59.199
think back to Richard Burr too,
and Burr going and selling travel stock and

974
01:24:59.279 --> 01:25:02.119
they wanted to make big thing over
it. And in both these cases,

975
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:06.239
when you saw that the COVID and
pandemic can travel, I mean you knew

976
01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:11.560
what was up. A lot of
people sold travel I sold travel stuff,

977
01:25:12.039 --> 01:25:17.760
right, So how do we delineate
when it's Nancy Pelosi's husband guessing correctly that

978
01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:24.279
Navidio was going to have not have
be able to get a contract because of

979
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:29.159
their dealings with China, and they
short sold those how do you couple that

980
01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:32.159
with the idea that you don't want
people to come to Congress like yourself?

981
01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:35.840
Who I think was what you were
the poorest member of the House or something.

982
01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:39.760
I'm not picking on market. Yeah, I yes, I had to

983
01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:42.880
title the least wealthy member of one
hundred fourteenth class. I work proudly.

984
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:46.600
Yes, But so like if people
are not using inside info and they're using

985
01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:50.359
basic stuff, it turns in one
of these gitshea things. They're proposing that

986
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:58.000
no individual stock could be bought or
sold by members of Congress or immediate family

987
01:25:58.039 --> 01:26:01.920
members. One do you think that
will pass? Two? Is that fair

988
01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:06.680
to people who really do not They
want to play by the rules, but

989
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:10.359
they also want to go to Washington
to make a difference. I mean you

990
01:26:10.399 --> 01:26:15.960
tell me, yeah, Look,
this is a tough one because you want

991
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:19.560
to say you should be restricted just
because you want to serve, or it's

992
01:26:19.560 --> 01:26:24.039
the state house or that in the
federal level of Congress, Senate, whatever

993
01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:28.039
house or Senate, whatever it might
be. But if if there's so much

994
01:26:28.079 --> 01:26:30.640
fraud, it's kind of like ear
marks. Ear Marks are actually legal by

995
01:26:30.640 --> 01:26:35.399
the Constitution, however there was so
much abuse with them because Congress had the

996
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:41.520
first strings that that there were some
house rules making those illegal. That's kind

997
01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:45.239
of where I think this is because
of the abuse. My side of how

998
01:26:45.239 --> 01:26:47.520
I would follow this would be like, you know what, if you're going

999
01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:50.359
to accept that position, you got
to shut it down, turn all your

1000
01:26:50.359 --> 01:26:55.159
portfolio stock management to an outside company
or someone else as opposed to you or

1001
01:26:55.199 --> 01:26:59.000
your immediate family member selling and buying
these things. I just think that's a

1002
01:26:59.079 --> 01:27:03.319
small sacrifice that you need to do
that weight removes any kind of potential cloud

1003
01:27:03.520 --> 01:27:09.079
of mischievous behavior. Yeah, I
mean, it's it's hard to argue with

1004
01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:13.359
looking at folks who go to Washington
and make ten million dollars on what was

1005
01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:17.680
what's house salary? Well, there's
two thousand, nine hundred seventy four thousand,

1006
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:20.760
one hundred and seventy four thousand,
and you parlayed it to ten million

1007
01:27:21.199 --> 01:27:25.119
in ten years. I mean,
incredible. It's hard to argue with that.

1008
01:27:25.239 --> 01:27:27.680
All right, we'll have to leave
it there for now. Mark,

1009
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:31.319
I appreciate the time as always,
sir, and we'll be back at it

1010
01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:34.840
next Thursday. Okay, sounds good. Take care Casey. All right,

1011
01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:39.640
there you go. Former Congress of
Mark Walker here on the case O Day

1012
01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:43.359
Radio program allots to get to in
our final half hour, hang on,

1013
01:27:43.720 --> 01:27:50.560
what a new decade on the calendar
and celebrating ten years on the air.

1014
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.560
This is one oh six one FM, Talk in the Triangle and News Talk

1015
01:27:55.680 --> 01:28:01.000
ninety four five w PTI and the
Triad. Oh my goodness, welcome back

1016
01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:05.920
everybody. It is the Cacoday Radio
Front. This story is crazy, this

1017
01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:12.119
and this will go right along with
um the whole kids don't know anything about

1018
01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:21.680
history thing. This is from NBC
News. A new study conducted by the

1019
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:30.840
nonprofit Asian American Foundation found that forty
four percent of Americans can't name a famous

1020
01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:40.079
living Asian American, which is deeply
ironic when you really think about it.

1021
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:45.359
All right, so let me let
me go to it, because they asked

1022
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:48.039
a few questions. They asked that. They also asked them to name a

1023
01:28:48.119 --> 01:28:55.159
famous living Native Hawaiian or Pacific islander, which they don't have a problem there.

1024
01:28:56.199 --> 01:28:59.560
But let's just let's get in on
this, all right. So what

1025
01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:01.760
do you think was the number one
answer given? Well, the number one

1026
01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:04.920
I'll tell you the number one answer. The number one answer was, I

1027
01:29:05.000 --> 01:29:10.199
don't know. I was gonna go
Bruce Lee, Hold on, hold your

1028
01:29:10.199 --> 01:29:15.880
horses. This is famous living Asian
American. The number one answer given when

1029
01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:19.239
other than I don't know Jackie Chan, who is not American. He is

1030
01:29:19.319 --> 01:29:26.840
Chinese. Yes, he is.
Number two Bruce Lee. So who's who's

1031
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:31.720
been dead for what fifty years?
No? Man, I saw him in

1032
01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:35.199
that commercial where he's hitting up ping
pongs with the nunchucks. Oh that's yeah,

1033
01:29:35.279 --> 01:29:39.680
it's definitely really he was very good
at that. Yeah, that's that's

1034
01:29:39.720 --> 01:29:44.640
the one hundred percent true. Right
do people think that's they do? Like,

1035
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:46.159
the video is constantly showing up on
social media, but like, could

1036
01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:49.399
you believe how amazing he was?
Like yes, So, like it's a

1037
01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:54.000
c G. I add for like
Apple from like ten some years ago.

1038
01:29:55.520 --> 01:30:01.439
A number three, well technically number
four, but where they actually did give

1039
01:30:01.479 --> 01:30:05.880
a name. So the first two. No, Jackie Chan is Chinese.

1040
01:30:09.159 --> 01:30:12.239
Jackie Chan, by the way,
I did see this has the most positive

1041
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:15.760
score of any major film actor.
Did you know that of likability score?

1042
01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:21.680
Yeah, it's very hard to hate
Jackie Chan. All right, so Bruce

1043
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:26.399
Lee obviously doesn't count either. Not
living. Number three and one in the

1044
01:30:27.399 --> 01:30:38.840
highest ranking correct answer is the Vice
President of the United States some of these

1045
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:45.880
other ones are crazy? All right, Um, all right, who else

1046
01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:50.199
do you think is on this list? Who else did at least? I

1047
01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:54.720
mean, I'm sure they didn't put
all the answers, but some of these

1048
01:30:54.760 --> 01:30:59.640
are pretty interesting. What about loudmouth
George Decay? So he is, He's

1049
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:01.239
very far down though, But yeah, I figured a lot of people would

1050
01:31:01.239 --> 01:31:12.159
go Sulu. I figured that that
actually would have been towards a little further

1051
01:31:12.199 --> 01:31:19.399
to the top. But all right, other that's the other ants. Like

1052
01:31:19.840 --> 01:31:27.439
the amount of dead people that are
on this list is that is crazy to

1053
01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:35.439
me. Margaret cho is on the
list. Yeah, I'm assuming she's still

1054
01:31:35.439 --> 01:31:39.479
alive. I guess I haven't checked
in on Margaret Chow in a which James

1055
01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:45.119
James Hong has got to be in
the list. James Hong is on the

1056
01:31:45.159 --> 01:31:48.600
list, and he is American,
and he's been in like ninety five percent

1057
01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:54.680
of every movie ever made. Yeah
him, and um, yeah, I

1058
01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:57.800
can't. I saw it was like
six hundred. He's got six hundred credits

1059
01:31:57.800 --> 01:31:59.920
on IMDb or something. Yeah,
if you go back and watch any Acts

1060
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.119
movie from like the eighties and nineties
and like that, it takes place in

1061
01:32:02.159 --> 01:32:09.159
like Southeast Asia, he's gonna be
in movie. John Cho you know John

1062
01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:15.640
Cho is right? Yeah? What
about Bobby Lee? I don't see I

1063
01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:21.880
don't see Bobby Lee on here?
Oh this is Ri. I just noticed

1064
01:32:21.920 --> 01:32:29.399
this. Oh, Asa Akira is
on the list. You know who that

1065
01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:35.239
is. First name is spelled Asa. Last name is spelled A K,

1066
01:32:36.239 --> 01:32:41.560
I R A Ross. Google that
will you do? I want to?

1067
01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:45.960
Yeah, I just on my phone
or on a company like I have a

1068
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:47.520
feeling some bad's gonna pop up.
I would do it on your I don't

1069
01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:50.159
trust you. I would do it
on your Is this a porn Is she

1070
01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:56.680
a porn actress? Yes? She
is? Oh good lord, I'm deleting

1071
01:32:56.680 --> 01:33:02.399
that from my history. What a
hell you're at? Like, even if

1072
01:33:02.399 --> 01:33:05.199
you could think of that, wouldn't
you be a little embarrassed being like,

1073
01:33:05.239 --> 01:33:15.039
oh I got one the famous porn
actress? Oh my goodness. Let's see

1074
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:20.159
here, all right? So,
when asked to name a famous living Native

1075
01:33:20.199 --> 01:33:24.640
Hawaiian or Pacific Island or American,
who do you think the number one choice?

1076
01:33:24.680 --> 01:33:27.479
It's got to be the Rock.
It's the rock for days. Yeah,

1077
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:32.399
everyone went with the Rock. In
fact, the next bit, the

1078
01:33:32.560 --> 01:33:39.079
next vote getter a top vote getter
was Don Ho, who's dead and died

1079
01:33:39.119 --> 01:33:44.840
like twenty years ago. The fact
they named Bruce Lee. I swear to

1080
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:49.800
guy man, everyone under thirty is
an idiot. Number three on the Pacific

1081
01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:55.640
Islander A Jason Momoa. Oh there
you go. But yeah, now the

1082
01:33:56.039 --> 01:34:00.560
rock was pretty all right. This
is interesting. They study also found that

1083
01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:11.000
only eighteen percent of Americans um knew
what career I guess, um, what

1084
01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:16.880
role is the most has the most
Asian representation for men and women. So

1085
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:25.399
when when there is an Asian actor
actress on screen, what career, respectively

1086
01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:29.079
is the most represented? What do
you think it is for Asian men?

1087
01:34:31.600 --> 01:34:36.359
What do you think number one would
be? Ninja, kung fu or martial

1088
01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:42.119
arts people. I'm just being stupid. I'm trying to be funny. These

1089
01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:46.359
people are being serious. What do
you think it is for women? Geisha?

1090
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:50.560
I know, yes, shut up, Gotti, Geisha, sex worker,

1091
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:57.319
stripper. I couldn't been more ridiculous
of my answer. They can't be

1092
01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:02.159
serious. They're dead serious, man, They're dead serious because this is this

1093
01:35:02.239 --> 01:35:06.520
is obviously an organization that's promoting the
interest of Asian Americans, and they're pointing.

1094
01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:12.720
They're doing this to point out that
people are stupid and are well and

1095
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:16.520
they obviously they've achieved that goal and
they really don't understand this. You know,

1096
01:35:16.560 --> 01:35:19.359
he's not on this list, and
you mentioned at off there Tiger Woods,

1097
01:35:20.359 --> 01:35:27.920
he would qualify. He's got one
Asian parent. Former Governor Nicky Haley

1098
01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:32.680
not on the list either. Lucy
lew is on the list. Okay,

1099
01:35:32.680 --> 01:35:39.560
well that seems like a good gimme. That's crazy man. You know,

1100
01:35:39.600 --> 01:35:44.239
Oh you know who else not on
the list? Pime, don't see it

1101
01:35:44.319 --> 01:35:54.279
here? Ah, I idiocracy,
we're all in man. Tip springs up

1102
01:35:54.279 --> 01:35:56.520
a good point on Twitter. What
about Biden? He grew up in an

1103
01:35:56.520 --> 01:36:01.680
all Asian neighborhood at one point,
right, was it an all Asian neighborhood?

1104
01:36:02.359 --> 01:36:04.920
I think he I just think he's
like the entire gamut. You just

1105
01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:09.640
he did make some other claim the
other day. It was like, come

1106
01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:17.039
on, man, you know that's
not true. Oh uh, let's see

1107
01:36:17.119 --> 01:36:20.079
here. Oh you know it's not
on the list. Mitchell McConnell's wife.

1108
01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:27.520
See look at that. All right, so everyone's dumb. I guess that's

1109
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:32.920
the takeaway there. All right,
let's stay race agent with Millard Fillmore cos

1110
01:36:33.039 --> 01:36:40.399
player dude, we're yeah, so
did you hear this? This is what

1111
01:36:40.520 --> 01:36:45.720
I was just talking about so late. So they did a study and they

1112
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:48.840
asked him, I'm gonna hit you
with the questions real quick. So we

1113
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:57.800
got time. What name one famous
living Asian American? Asian American? Yes,

1114
01:36:58.840 --> 01:37:03.239
Um, I'd have to ask me
that one for because it's the question

1115
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:08.560
they asked people. It's the point
of the story. Um, off the

1116
01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:10.720
top of my I'd have to think
I could think of one, though,

1117
01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:15.119
go on to the next Connie Chump
who All right, I'm assuming, I

1118
01:37:15.199 --> 01:37:18.279
mean that's well, no, here's
what's crazy that. The number one answer

1119
01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:23.920
was I don't know. The number
two answer was Jackie Chan, who's Chinese.

1120
01:37:24.399 --> 01:37:30.800
The number three answer was Bruce Leeve's
been dead for fifty years, right

1121
01:37:30.159 --> 01:37:34.640
right. And the first, well
that's for the number one answer that was

1122
01:37:34.680 --> 01:37:41.000
actually correct with six percent of respondents
was the Vice president, who's who is

1123
01:37:41.039 --> 01:37:45.439
half Asian? Right? Um?
And I didn't know that, And she

1124
01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:50.760
only got several percentages higher than Asa
Kira, who's a famous Asian porn actress.

1125
01:37:50.800 --> 01:37:54.520
So I don't know what kind of
pers they're interviewing. And then they

1126
01:37:54.520 --> 01:37:59.039
also asked the name of the name
of famous living Pacific islander and that one

1127
01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:03.119
people got is the Rock, right, everyone knew the Rock, so oh,

1128
01:38:03.119 --> 01:38:05.680
I wouldn't have got that either,
So you see, you kind of

1129
01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:11.640
you kind of went into like at
least nationalities of I'm not good at that.

1130
01:38:12.079 --> 01:38:14.319
But then the ned the number two
hands. You got me don Ho,

1131
01:38:14.560 --> 01:38:17.319
who's been dead too for a while. So I mean, well you

1132
01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:20.279
got to be on the first one. I just so I fail. I'm

1133
01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:24.159
sorry. I'm sorry. I guess
I should. You should google that,

1134
01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:28.560
just check check my work, so
do it on your com it'll be fine.

1135
01:38:28.760 --> 01:38:31.000
Yeah. Wait, so let me
just send me a screenshot of the

1136
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:35.119
a one of the ABC stations.
Here. They got stormtroopers and stuff doing

1137
01:38:35.159 --> 01:38:41.640
like weather. Would you trust a
weather forecast from Darth Vader Um, No,

1138
01:38:41.960 --> 01:38:45.319
that's certainly not. Nope, Ross, I mean he couldn't get anything.

1139
01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:49.159
That man's doing on a on a
on a doppler so hot in this

1140
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:54.439
planet though, what is him?
He says, We're gonna be fine.

1141
01:38:54.560 --> 01:38:59.479
Yeah, it got really hot real
quick to trate that. So yeah,

1142
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:01.920
yeah, so no, I could
never trust anything that, you know,

1143
01:39:02.119 --> 01:39:05.199
the theater does. Everyone's gonna have
their Star Wars nerd holidays. So what

1144
01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:09.359
are you gonna they do? They
do what they do. What I'm gonna

1145
01:39:09.399 --> 01:39:12.039
do is podcast, not from me. Yeah, I mean, I'm not

1146
01:39:12.039 --> 01:39:15.159
gonna force anything on you here.
We'll just play the way it looks,

1147
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:17.960
and it looks great. It's a
little cool this morning, upper sixties,

1148
01:39:18.039 --> 01:39:21.640
low seventies today, forties tonight,
load of mid seventies, a little more

1149
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:26.079
cloud coming in tomorrow, and that
as we get into Saturday and Sunday,

1150
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:30.239
a few showers around at this point
certainly doesn't look like a washout, be

1151
01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:32.960
a cloud sun mix in between upper
sixties to low seventies. And we get

1152
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:36.439
into the eighties next week and we
start talking about a more typical springtime pattern

1153
01:39:36.720 --> 01:39:40.600
with some showers and utter showers around. A lot of those will be during

1154
01:39:40.640 --> 01:39:43.159
the afternoon hour. So I had
a little bit of a cool down this

1155
01:39:43.199 --> 01:39:48.520
week now, modifying temperatures next week
probably more like the season spring and feeling

1156
01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:54.800
more like the first ten days of
May than it did this week. All

1157
01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:57.560
right, thank you, sir,
do appreciate. Okay, I'll let you

1158
01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:00.399
get back to your fillmore stuff and
we'll talk all right, cool cool,

1159
01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:14.479
and Jeff Bellinger joins us next,
hang On ten years of News twice an

Update Now, Jeff Bellinger, What's happened

1163
01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:34.119
Well, Good Morning, Ksey.
Stocks ended the midweek session in negative.

1164
01:40:34.199 --> 01:40:39.119
Territory futures are pointing a little bit
lower this morning. The Dow futures are

1165
01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:43.079
down fifty six points at the moment. There was an increase last week in

1166
01:40:43.119 --> 01:40:46.000
the number of workers signing up for
unemployment benefits. It was a little bigger

1167
01:40:46.000 --> 01:40:50.640
than expected. The Labor Department counted
two hundred forty two thousand first time claims,

1168
01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:56.479
thirteen thousand more than the prior week, and we get the agency's monthly

1169
01:40:56.520 --> 01:41:01.279
employment report tomorrow. Companies announced plans
to cut near sixty seven thousand jobs last

1170
01:41:01.319 --> 01:41:05.479
month. That was down from nearly
ninety thousand in March, but still up

1171
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:10.159
sharply from April of last year.
Challenger, Gray and Christmas As. The

1172
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:15.159
biggest layoff counts were in the retail
and technology sectors. All of the turmoil

1173
01:41:15.199 --> 01:41:18.439
in the banking sector is not going
unnoticed. Almost half of the American adults

1174
01:41:18.439 --> 01:41:23.640
who responded to a new Gallopole say
they're worried now about the safety of their

1175
01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:28.079
bank deposits. The level of concern
matches or exceeds the two thousand and eight

1176
01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:30.760
financial crisis. It is the end
of the line for a Jenny Craig.

1177
01:41:30.800 --> 01:41:34.279
It was learned earlier this week that
the weight Loss brand was seeking a buyer.

1178
01:41:34.560 --> 01:41:39.199
Now, a source tells Bloomberg News
the company is going out of business.

1179
01:41:39.239 --> 01:41:43.880
Company owned stores are already closed.
Inflation has a lot of workers hoping

1180
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:47.600
for hefty raises this year, but
employers are focused on holding the line so

1181
01:41:47.800 --> 01:41:53.640
employees could come away disappointed. A
survey by Mercer found that raises will still

1182
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:58.439
be substantial, just not as big
as they projected last fall. Now Jones

1183
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:01.319
says the bosses are all worried about
high inflation or high end interest rates and

1184
01:42:01.439 --> 01:42:05.760
the possibility of a recession, and
a lot of people are living very close

1185
01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:11.720
to the edge financially. A new
survey says most Americans don't have the resources

1186
01:42:11.760 --> 01:42:15.680
to cover a surprise expense of four
hundred dollars without taking on debt. Morning

1187
01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:20.319
consult conducted the survey for Bloomberg News. Just over a third of respondents said

1188
01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:24.880
they would have cash on hand to
cover an expense and Casey. When you

1189
01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:28.520
include people who say they would use
a credit card and pay it off before

1190
01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:32.399
incurring interest charges, the figure increases
to forty eight percent, But the other

1191
01:42:32.439 --> 01:42:41.039
fifty two percent would have to pay
interest in some fashion. The country is

1192
01:42:41.279 --> 01:42:45.640
we're going downhill. Forty four percent
of Americans can't name a single famous living

1193
01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:51.000
Asian American? Can you nable one? Can? I got to think about

1194
01:42:51.000 --> 01:42:54.880
it myself. For Michelle woo Is, the mayor of Boston, I'll go

1195
01:42:54.920 --> 01:42:58.439
with that. There you go,
look at Okay, she didn't make the

1196
01:42:58.479 --> 01:43:01.760
list. The number one answer is
Jackie Chan, who's not American, and

1197
01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:08.560
number two was Bruce Lee, who's
been dead for fifty years, so God

1198
01:43:08.640 --> 01:43:11.680
help us. Third was Kamala Harris, which is a correct answer. So

1199
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:17.079
alright, alright, take care of
Casey. There you go. Jeff Bellinger,

1200
01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:23.680
Bloomberg News, passing the test.
I didn't tell him about Assa Kia.

1201
01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:26.600
I'll send him some links. Hey, you want to hear a headline

1202
01:43:26.600 --> 01:43:30.560
that's gonna make you lose your damn
mind. Okay, it's a long one.

1203
01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:34.840
There's a lot going on here,
so I'll read it twice, try

1204
01:43:34.840 --> 01:43:42.600
to unpack as we go. You
ready. Trans pedophile who sexually abused her

1205
01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:47.680
own daughter, age seven, for
warped porn videos is now inmate of New

1206
01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:58.439
Jersey woman's prison despite still having male
parts, and wants to marry trans accomplice

1207
01:43:58.680 --> 01:44:01.079
so they can share us cell,
which is apparently a thing that might be

1208
01:44:01.119 --> 01:44:10.800
able to happen. Trans Pedophile who
sexually abused her own daughter seven for warped

1209
01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:15.520
porn video is inmate of New Jersey
women's prison despite still having male appendages,

1210
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:18.359
and wants to marry trans accomplice so
they can share a cell. And I

1211
01:44:18.359 --> 01:44:29.319
guess play house or whatever. What
the hell, man, I'm not even

1212
01:44:29.359 --> 01:44:34.159
gonna get into the just I read
a description of what this individual filmed their

1213
01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:40.079
own daughter doing, and I'm kind
of understanding why Florida is like, you

1214
01:44:40.119 --> 01:44:44.439
know what, maybe we should have
the death penalty for people who sexually abused

1215
01:44:44.479 --> 01:44:47.239
children. Because I gotta be honest, I saw that story. He probably

1216
01:44:47.239 --> 01:44:50.560
did see it, and I was
reminded of a guy interviewed back in the

1217
01:44:50.600 --> 01:44:55.720
day. You remember when repressed memories
were a thing, and this guy his

1218
01:44:55.840 --> 01:44:59.479
case was pretty famous. His name
escapes me right now, but basically his

1219
01:44:59.640 --> 01:45:03.640
ex life, her mother, his
ex mother in law, and counselor basically

1220
01:45:03.680 --> 01:45:08.039
concocted this story that his own daughter
accused him of doing. He went to

1221
01:45:08.079 --> 01:45:12.560
prison, he almost died because they
stabbed him in prison. And then as

1222
01:45:12.600 --> 01:45:16.039
the daughter basically got older, she
realized all of this stuff never really happened,

1223
01:45:16.119 --> 01:45:21.039
and there were a few things that
were obviously if the guy's lawyer would

1224
01:45:21.039 --> 01:45:26.880
have been worth the crap, I
would have known that it was bs.

1225
01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:30.680
But this guy went to prison,
almost died because his ex wife wanted to

1226
01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:35.439
get custody, and this count said
that I don't think the wife faced any

1227
01:45:35.479 --> 01:45:40.439
charges either, So that's it gives
me some pause. But then I read

1228
01:45:40.439 --> 01:45:47.039
stories like this and I just just
makes me glad it shows over for to

1229
01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:57.159
day because I just go off on
the chanson. I counted. By the

1230
01:45:57.159 --> 01:46:00.359
way, there's ten actors that are
all Chinese actors at all, So we're

1231
01:46:00.359 --> 01:46:05.479
in the top fifty answer on that
other story. So yeah, we're dumb,

1232
01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:11.319
not all of us, but forty
four percent of us. All Right,

1233
01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:14.199
we gotta go see you tomorrow.
Everybody
