WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:05.599
Phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four as we kick

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:13.919
things off. Oh boy, all
right, So we'll get into the more

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:18.280
of the meat of it later in
the show. Because it's Thursday Ian on

4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:25.519
Thursdays when things are normal, we
we have Stephen Kenton and it's you know,

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.160
it's like tech in Hollywood and a
lot of Disney stuff, so kind

6
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.719
of the nerdy side with the intersection
of politics that we do. And that's

7
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:40.679
right where this TikTok story lands.
I gotta tell you, I've I have

8
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:49.159
watched multiple arguments from both sides.
Because here's here's the deal. It passed

9
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:56.920
the House yesterday. The President says
he'll sign this version. So and you

10
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.560
know, if there was there is
quote bipartisan support, so will pass in

11
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.959
the Senate. I don't know,
we'll find out. But there's two ways

12
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.640
of looking at it. You know. Obviously, broaching the topic of shutting

13
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:23.439
TikTok down, that was something that
was Was it quite did they did it

14
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.760
go quite the level of hitler?
I'm trying to The immediate reaction by the

15
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.280
media was the end is nigh,
as you know it was with everything else,

16
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.439
But it really didn't address the issue
that it's clear and not just in

17
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:47.719
this case with TikTok, although TikTok
from a usefulness of the tool standpoint is

18
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.760
crazy significant. But like all these
stories we see, I told you I

19
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.560
saw this story, well two weeks
it was over the weekend. I didn't

20
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.519
put in the stack because was a
longer interview. They had this tech guy

21
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:09.639
on really smart dude, and he's
just he was just going through random electronics

22
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:16.000
that talk back to Chinese servers for
no reason that anyone can understand. Well,

23
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:22.479
they do understand, right, And
like guy had a vacuum and it's

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.759
one of those like wallhanger rechargeable operations. Why is that connecting? Now?

25
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.919
The reason it would connect on the
Wi Fi network still kind of baffled me.

26
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.439
I can't remember what he said that
like the the reason for it,

27
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.360
but you know, he was going
through. He's like like anything that brushes

28
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:46.439
the Internet, any smart device,
there is a possibility. We just had

29
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:53.479
a story last week where they figured
out that the massive cranes they're used at

30
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.919
our nation's ports, there's a bunch
of them that were built by a Chinese

31
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:05.439
company and those connect back to a
Chinese server. Well, now you know,

32
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.280
now we're getting into some Look,
there's a certain sensitivity of ports,

33
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.039
right, it's a it's unless you
watch any Mob movie ever or the Nolan

34
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.159
Batman series, but you know,
uh, the the ports right that that

35
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.800
is a national security that is a
security issue because you saw what happens when

36
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:34.240
a port is crippled or ports,
not just with COVID, but like all

37
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.039
of history, like there were two
things screw up their water supply, Breetwell

38
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.719
there's the scrit the water supply breached
the walls. And if there is a

39
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:52.039
port, you got to control that
thing. And so that makes me super

40
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.159
duper extra nervous, but not surprised. So like it's a it's a problem,

41
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.199
I want people to address it.
The problem is when I listen to

42
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.680
people all around, there's a lot
of different camps. There are people who

43
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:17.079
think that this bill, because of
the executive power that it imbues, right,

44
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.839
might give the president too much power
and like everything else could be weaponized.

45
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.439
And ram Paul brought up a good
point, he said, why are

46
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.959
there I don't even know what you'd
call them, but like the criticism was

47
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.680
the things too broad And then others
who wanted it to pass for say,

48
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.560
no, it's not too broad yet
there is specific language that was added to

49
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:56.079
carve out non enforcement. So if
this was supposed to be communications networks or

50
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.639
websites that our control in total or
in part, I believe is the way

51
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:09.639
that it reads by what we consider
a foreign adversary. It also has carve

52
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.120
outs for you know, what was
a travel site or travel websites cooking stuff.

53
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.480
It's weird, man, it's really
strange, Like I'd like to know

54
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.160
who was in their ear for that
carve out. But it also is kind

55
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.079
of an admission that you feel that
the overall language is a little too broad,

56
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.319
and in an era where every time
I turn around, I'm seeing some

57
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:42.600
new abuse or expansion of what government
people think they can do on a whim,

58
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:50.399
not through the process. I share
those concerns. What was interesting is,

59
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.759
and I don't want to speak for
him, so it's just my impression

60
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.600
of what I saw him tweeting.
Looks like Steven, who I think is

61
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.800
a pretty sharp dude, he is
significantly more comfortable with this. So that'll

62
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.079
be a fascinating conversation. Maybe we'll
all learn stuff. That'll be an eighth

63
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:15.120
five. So throw that in the
planner all right. Also, we got

64
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.839
we got aliens, because of course
we do. Oh. I got a

65
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:28.120
great audio on the TikTok thing too, elon Musk Don Lemon that I watched

66
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:36.160
a little bit of that this morning. The backstories kind of crazy. Man.

67
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.480
It was clear Musk did not want
to be doing that interview about thirteen

68
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:48.000
seconds into it. And but what
you know what has become of Don Lemon's

69
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.839
show, Well, we'll give you
the details there. So that's just a

70
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.079
few of the few of the items
I saw. Actually quite a few stories

71
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.680
this morning too, like the did
you see the standoff in La yesterday?

72
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.800
I'm telling you as much as as
much as we criticize California, and it's

73
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:12.319
easy. And this is coming from
somebody who spent uh you know, by

74
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:18.079
collegiate years living in California, although
being you know, yeah, college student

75
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.480
brain. So you're like, you
know, everything's great because you don't really

76
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.920
pay taxes, but but you do. You do when when you go to

77
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.160
register a car and it's like seven
hundred dollars for an old truck, I

78
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:35.959
mean, stuff's just crazy. But
it's beautiful and it has the greatest and

79
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.439
I will say this, it has
the greatest outside of maybe, well it

80
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.279
has the greatest chases. I think
the best police chases are in California Florida,

81
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.759
Like there's all. They don't do
as many police chases or they don't

82
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:57.319
cover it with the same fervor I
guess. But they got after Florida.

83
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.399
They they got the craziest man and
and this wasn't a chase per se.

84
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.560
But we'll get into the details of
what I guess it was supposed to be

85
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.480
a fire to tell you about and
yeah, yeah, just all sorts of

86
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.519
insanity and we'll get into it coming
up. It's six sixteen. Hang on,

87
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.720
I'll just say I'll say somebody who
is purporting to be a lawmaker that

88
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:30.319
I or a former lawmaker I should
say that I know uh with in the

89
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.960
NC House in the senitude notice the
House. But I'm not going to give

90
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.360
his name because he sent it from
a Gmail I'm not familiar with and I

91
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.480
don't know if it's him. But
whatever, the point is this, I

92
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.080
almost don't need to set that up. You know, the struggle, as

93
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.919
you're seeing right now, with the
multitude of lawsuits against literally everything Republicans pass,

94
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:58.960
requires you in crafting legislation to balance
how specific something is, to ensure

95
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.240
that you get the correct outcome and
don't potentially limit yourself through a lawsuit saying

96
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.080
well, if you look here,
it doesn't imbue them with this power because

97
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.480
courts too often don't recognize intent.
All right, I'll take that as a

98
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:22.679
genuine concern. But the flip side
is you also got to make sure that

99
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.120
whoever the next person is doesn't go, well, I think it reads this

100
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.960
way, and you know, look
how broad it is. That's how we

101
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.879
get literally one hundred things that I've
complained about over the years. So I

102
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.120
get it. I look, I
don't want to be the one to have

103
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.840
to sit there and pick all the
language on stuff, knowing that a team

104
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:48.840
of lawyers, you know, the
Mark Olias crew whoever it is, is

105
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:56.080
going to be looking for any missed
whatever to attempt to invalidate it and on

106
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.080
the flip side, or attempt to
expand it. I give you one of

107
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.039
the biggest examples, just so it's
fresh on your brain, and that was

108
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:11.639
the attempt to expand the Civil Rights
Act to include the transgender stuff, where

109
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.200
for the only time I think it
was allowed. Loretta Lynch made the argument

110
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.039
that sex and gender were the same
thing because they wanted to piggyback it on

111
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:31.399
the women's portion of civil rights legislation. So it literally was the way that

112
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.000
they wanted to go about. It
was an opposition to one of the most

113
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:43.879
consistent pieces of dogma that you hear
activists talk about. Didn't care. You

114
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.639
saw it with the nuclear option there, and then you saw Republicans turn around

115
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.600
and expand it with Supreme Court stuff. You know, me, the thing

116
00:10:52.639 --> 00:11:01.480
that sticks in my craw is well, hypocrisies up there, but slippery slope

117
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.679
stuff kills me, especially when it's
just so predictable. Plus you're seeing the

118
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:16.480
expansion and the reinterpretation, arguably of
all these things having to do with Trump.

119
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.799
You know, I think Kevin O'Leary
a couple of weeks ago did a

120
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.039
pretty good I can't remember if he
was on CNBC or MSNBC, but dude's

121
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.720
being interviewed, and you know,
the woman interviewing him is just taken for

122
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.440
granted. Well, Donald Trump's out
committing crimes to secure loans, and O'Leary's

123
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.320
like, uh no, let me
explain to you how it works. And

124
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.960
he does so, not even in
the defense of Trump, but in a

125
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.840
warning that what you're doing up there, it has a cooling effect and flies

126
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.639
in the face of how banking's done. It's a negotiation between two people,

127
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.600
really, and obviously you know the
rest where everybody got paid back and they

128
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.600
wanted to do business with them again, and so yeah, yeah, I

129
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.279
take those concerns seriously. Also,
I wanted to play the Nancy Pelosi audio.

130
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.120
This is not an attempt to ban
TikTok. It's an attempt to make

131
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.639
TikTok better, tick tech toe a
winner, a winner. Oh oh man,

132
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.440
what do you think she did?
Did she do the baiting thing where

133
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.799
you go in the corner and try
to get your opponent to go in the

134
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.399
middle or listen, I understand what
you're saying. But the most important thing

135
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.759
to understand what this TikTok bill is. At B twelve, I just sank

136
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.200
your battleship. What oh you did? Oh man? All right, we

137
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.879
else I got to do absolute fool
Yeah. Well apparently you're supposed to have

138
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:48.960
a divider up here. But anyways, wait, just the transition that it's

139
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.399
like she had three more seconds to
fill in her time. I don't think

140
00:12:52.440 --> 00:13:00.840
she knows what TikTok is. It's
probably some sort of online game apply a

141
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.360
global thermal ducular work. Yeah,
yeah, no, that's that's a good

142
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.399
point. This is not an attempt
to ban TikTok. It's an attempt to

143
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:15.120
make TikTok better. Tick tech toe
a winner, A winner. I still

144
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.480
don't know what that means. It's
a valid point. And listen, left

145
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.600
foot green, left foot green.
Simon didn't say, oh wait, I'm

146
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.759
conflating two games. What am I
doing? Oh that's what she did?

147
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.840
Right hand yellow and your dad,
Yeah, dude, I can't even imagine

148
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:35.080
trying to play twister right now.
But did that seem like a good idea?

149
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.399
You know what? It seemed like
a good idea when you were a

150
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.559
high schooler and you had girls over, you know, for a training for

151
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.679
football season or whatever or something.
That's that. That's it. Or you

152
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.879
know you're a kid, but like, well, I guess you're still technically

153
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.440
a kid. But you know what
I mean, you're you're a six year

154
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.639
old. It's flexible. You're you're
a six year old is so flexible you

155
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.960
could you can like do what a
cat does where it constricts its body to

156
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.320
fit through stuff. Forty three year
old me. I think I'm dead.

157
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.519
So I'm just like sitting in the
center. I'm just sitting in the center,

158
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.480
like you know, moving like job
of the hut, you know what

159
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:18.120
I mean. Doesn't say you have
to move by your certain time. Right,

160
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.240
check the rule. There's no time
limit. H you're three, it's

161
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.200
an hour. And that he doesn't
he's spun it three times. Oh we

162
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.720
should play something else, all right, one more time now. This is

163
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.200
not an attempt to ban TikTok.
It's an attempt to make TikTok better,

164
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.200
tick tech toe a winner, a
winner. Can you imagine following the Nancy

165
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:45.440
Pelosi thing for the rest of the
week, just to be as childish as

166
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.240
you know, occasionally we've been known
to be around here. This is not

167
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.279
an attempt to ban TikTok. It's
an attempt to make TikTok better, tick

168
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:58.759
tech toe a winner, a winner? Did you just like I would be

169
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.039
too tempted after every speech that I
gave, right, I got five minutes

170
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.480
or whatever, and like, ah, and this is how I feel about

171
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.159
this. So that sums up my
position, and I hope that my colleagues

172
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:18.279
across the aisle will agree. Duck
duck goos. That's a dramatic pausey,

173
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.720
I kind of pull away from the
lectern and then lean back in so I

174
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.440
understand what you're saying. What you
really need to understand though when you're talking

175
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.480
about this bill, it's especially in
a you know, geopolitical matters and terms,

176
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.279
is big stick out, stick out
plunk. Oh man, we got

177
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:43.639
owned. That would make my day. But look, all right, that's

178
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.080
a joking matter, because how can
you how can you not think it's funny.

179
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:56.840
But unfortunately, in between watching some
video of that, getting into getting

180
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:04.480
into the segments surrounding the Musk Don
Lemon thing, which we'll talk about,

181
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:19.600
unfortunately I laid eyes on the single
greatest, most important civil rights battle of

182
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:29.480
our lifetime, and it's bruined right
now up in New York City. This

183
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:37.200
is I am so glad that there
are so many woke individuals around to spotlight

184
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:52.320
this de evolution of our modern society, thrusting us back into an almost lawless

185
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:59.399
nationalist or whatever words they're going to
use, just stripping the rights away from

186
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:07.480
people. And I know that people
all over the world will be concerned about

187
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.119
this. So this is this is
great. A guy by the name of

188
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:22.960
Luis Carlos Alvarez Zaragazzo. He's a
filmmaker and a food influencer. He went

189
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:27.559
to a there's a sushi restaurant up
in New York that has two Michigan's Michigan

190
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.680
Stars. Yeah, you don't if
they got Michigan Stars watch out, but

191
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:38.160
Michegan stars sushi nas. I don't
know if they put some of that drink

192
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:44.920
in there or what, but they
do charge seven hundred dollars per seeding.

193
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:55.640
I'm gonna repeat that. It's a
seven hundred dollars per person meal. And

194
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.119
you know it's a fixed meal,
it's multiple course and specific. It is

195
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.599
attempting to be very very traditional Japanese. And I'll explain why. So this

196
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.799
learned food influencer and I guess some
friends they decide they're going to pay seven

197
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:22.200
hundred dollars for a sushi dinner.
But it was then that they noticed what

198
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.519
was happening as the group or in
the group, it was like three dudes

199
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:36.920
and one woman. The the sushi
chefs are all from Japan, right,

200
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.920
so it's just sue everything super hoity
toity at this thing. And as they

201
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:49.200
start serving the various courses and was
omakase ama case. Is what you call

202
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.960
this the menu and the serving style. They literally you sit there, you

203
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.000
sit there on a table or on
a rail like this one, and they

204
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.920
it's just small by stuff. There's
like six or seven or maybe even more

205
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.400
than that. Little they'll do little
scallion pancakes, they'll do various sushi rolls,

206
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.079
they'll do just some raw fish stuff. But there is what's known as

207
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.319
palm size. And I'm not even
a real sushi dude, but I knew

208
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.359
this. So when they're making the
roles and they're making the servings, they

209
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.359
are looking at literally looking at hand
size. It's a traditional thing. Now

210
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.640
you can object to it, but
if you're in a really traditional one,

211
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:37.359
they'll just do it by default.
And what it is is smaller portions for

212
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.119
smaller hands, but not of the
good stuff, right, And this is

213
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.839
what's so stupid about it. One
this is a food influencer who apparently didn't

214
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:52.440
know this is a thing. And
two what this smaller on the roll is

215
00:19:52.480 --> 00:20:00.079
there's less rice. So the ring
of the role is literally made to fit

216
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.440
the individual's hand. Well, the
woman has she has you know, demure

217
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.880
hands, so she's getting the same
amount of the protein, same amount of

218
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.200
that, but she's getting less rice. And everyone's lost their damn mind that

219
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.240
they about this, this attack on
women as it's being referred to at the

220
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:29.720
seven hundred dollars sushi seating because she
got less rice. They'll give you more

221
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:36.319
rice, by the way, just
ask Oh yes. Food journalists and activists

222
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.319
took to social media following the review. It went viral, and then of

223
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:48.160
course TikTok videos all of that,
offering to boycott the restaurant. You know

224
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.720
what, dude, if you're this, if you're the restaurant and you hear

225
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.640
that this moon bat and his buddies
are going to boycott you because they're dumb,

226
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.240
like, that's got to be the
best day of the week for you,

227
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:07.160
right, don't see him no more. That'll be fine. Uh,

228
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:14.920
let's see. Zaragoza argued that the
that the restaurant, trust me, the

229
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.519
quote that's coming up, you're gonna
understand because uh just wait for it.

230
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:23.640
Uh. Zaragaza stated that while he
he afterwards, he said, oh no,

231
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.440
no, no, I understand that, but I think that the price

232
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:32.279
should be adjusted to account for the
smaller portions. Well, what does what

233
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:37.119
is probably about a golf ball worth
of rice? What does that cost?

234
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.759
What do you what do you want
five cents off? Maybe off your seven

235
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.799
hundred dollars sushi? Uh Zaragozas said, it is it is bigger than New

236
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:52.759
York, bigger than this restaurant,
but rather something that is ingrained in too

237
00:21:52.799 --> 00:22:02.920
many cultures to treat women as lesser
individuals. And the fact that they continue

238
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:08.880
the tradition in the US is Yeah. And there's some other he's like really

239
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:14.240
really into Hey, we gotta you
know, we gotta make sure we feed

240
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.720
the world. Gotta do this.
We evil food companies? Why are they

241
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.079
raising prices on this? And you
elected to go to a seven hundred dollars

242
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:30.000
sushi seating and then literally make a
civil rights case out of it, like

243
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.759
all of these people who who are
who you you claim to be battling on

244
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:40.640
behalf of right? Like, let
me give you an example. Who's more

245
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:45.799
food insecure your female companion because she
got slightly less rice in her seven hundred

246
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:55.000
dollars dinner? Or warlords who sees
un food supplies and don't give it to

247
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:02.640
their people. I'll I'll let you
figure that out anyway. Six forty three.

248
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:07.079
But yeah, so I don't know
where this thing's going, but that

249
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.440
poor poor woman. All Right.
I mentioned there was this standoff in LA

250
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.079
and uh, I'm gonna blame the
cops here kind of a little bit,

251
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.720
but just hear me out. But
not in the way that like Jesse Jackson

252
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.960
blames cops when you have one of
these standoff stories. Because the dude didn't

253
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.839
get killed. That was a white
dude. So I'm sure they'll make hay

254
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:37.119
there, but I'm gonna blame cops
because I don't understand how this went on

255
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.640
for three friggin' hours. So let
me set the scene. Police are in

256
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:48.039
a parking lot in front of this
is in Mission Hills, California. They're

257
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.319
in front of a parking lot of
a subway, and there's a pickup truck,

258
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:53.920
kind of an old, busted looking
pickup truck. It's got some tools

259
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.119
and stuff in the back. Looks
like, you know, looks like a

260
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:02.759
guy who I don't know does construction
or tree removal or something whatever. And

261
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:11.000
but for whatever reason, the police
find out the police find out he's got

262
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.440
a warrant. I don't know if
they're running plates or what, but this

263
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.839
is what it goes. This is
where it goes, and he knows he

264
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.160
has a warrant, so when the
police get there, he jumps in the

265
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:30.960
back of the pickup truck, grabs
a chainsaw and a pink laundry hamper which

266
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:36.119
happened to be back there, puts
the laundry hamper on his head like a

267
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:42.519
night's now he's a knight, I
guess, I don't know helmet, and

268
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.519
fires up the chainsaw, actually doesn't
even fire it up, And initially police

269
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.359
are like, hey, sir,
get out of the truck, probably probably

270
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.480
trying not to laugh because he's got
a what did he think He's standing in

271
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.880
a truck with plates? Do you
think the laundry bat it was he thought

272
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.599
he could hide his identity. It's
his truck. You were just keep doing

273
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.279
your laundry. It just doesn't seem
to go away, and he drives you

274
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.759
insane. Yeah, you know,
I don't know how you you guys do

275
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.079
it as a family, like I
live alone and I have Like I was

276
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.000
just grumbling about laundry back up.
Yeah, we do. We do it

277
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.480
in a weekend Friday and Saturday,
but like it just never goes away,

278
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.440
so it's ongoing, never ending,
and eventually you find yourself insane, and

279
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.680
you put the laundry basket in your
head and you fire the chainsaw. It's

280
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.440
what happens. Oh, it's not
because he has a warrant for a rest

281
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:37.519
for a violent domestic domestic violence case. Oh okay, all right, well

282
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.319
I can understand that I hate doing
long What football team does he play for?

283
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.519
It looks like he might be retired. He's got kind of that that

284
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.240
kind of that walrit that gray walrus
mustache thing going on. Also, I

285
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.559
like the part where he's wearing a
dirty button down denim shirt. Right,

286
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.680
it looks like a guy who works, except he only had as the top

287
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.519
button buttoned, you know, like
that old like you'd see it like in

288
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.039
the nineties on like any hispanic dude
on TV. He was was playing a

289
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.759
gangster right where they have the long
sleep shot. I can picture the one

290
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.519
guy that always plays that guy.
But he's in every movie. Yes,

291
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.599
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, except uh, those dudes

292
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:25.480
have shirts under the the button down. This guy does not. And you

293
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.720
said he's a white dude, Yeah, of course, of course, big

294
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.720
walrus mustache and beer belly sticking out
of a busted denim shirt with a laundry

295
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.960
basket on his head holding a chains
right, But you talk about like stereotypes

296
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.960
and like, you know, you
just just describe this crime or whatever,

297
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.480
this incident, and immediately you know
he's a white dude. No, that's

298
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.279
where my mind goes, Why are
you saying that? What I've just watched

299
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.000
enough on Patrol Live to you know, non white people can't put own laundry

300
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.920
baskets. I mean, well,
I mean, I don't know, what's

301
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:56.200
your slursir, I don't know what
what do you get? Dad? So

302
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.240
and he's he's in the back of
his pickup truck. Great, he's it.

303
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.000
Look I'm busted ass pickup truck,
gray Walrus mustad. Yeah, you

304
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.279
getna know that's the white dude.
But uh so, anyway, so this

305
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.799
is what police are presented with.
Then police decided that they were going to

306
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:22.839
they were going to reason with him, attempt to de escalate the situation for

307
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:29.359
three hours, That's right, for
three hours, police attempted to de escalate

308
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.559
the situation until uh he once again
picked up a chainsaw, fired it up,

309
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.880
and now he's you know, now
he's the dude from Evil Dead And

310
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.920
they're like, all right, whatever, and so and I'm not making this

311
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.559
up. At one point and what
caused him to get more agitated is the

312
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:56.119
SWAT armored truck arrived. He's at
the back of a pickup truck. He's

313
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:02.200
got a chase, he doesn't have
a distance weapon, and he's got he's

314
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.279
got literally just the top button of
his shirt. I was telling you that

315
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.160
not just for the belly thing,
but also that's gonna give you a lot

316
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.799
more visibility in his waistline. As
he's he's literally he's kind of frantically spinning

317
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.440
around. So they roll, they
roll the entire SWAT team truck up,

318
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.799
and then they hit him with a
couple of those with the forty forty millimeters

319
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.720
the bean bags. The ate him
with the bean bags. And you're gonna

320
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.559
be shocked to learn with a little
pepper spray or bean bags, you you

321
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:37.319
can win the chainsaw contest. Usually, so they did, and then three

322
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.359
hours later they took him into custody, hit him in the chest and arms

323
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.680
and all that. So here's my
thing, why do why are you guys

324
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.160
doing this for three hours? I
have to assume the police don't want to

325
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.000
be screwing with this for three hours. They like what is it a guy

326
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.240
in the pickup truck with a laundry
basket on his head and the chains that

327
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:59.200
bring out the police tank we need. I think the guy with the police

328
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.599
tank's just bored because they don't really
enforce anything else. He's just sitting there

329
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.519
pretend driving in the garage every day. He's like, come on, man,

330
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:08.160
I don't want to go to something. But no. Look right when

331
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.599
you showed up and this guy wouldn't
comply, and he did. He was,

332
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.079
you know, holding a weapon,
obviously a chainsaws a weapon. Pop

333
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:19.960
them with the bean bags. Be
done with this. That's it. It's

334
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.839
a over. Everybody goes home.
The swat guys are you know, they're

335
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.680
sad But I don't know, man, But yeah, just crazy town anyway.

336
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:30.720
Six forty nine, hang on,
Yeah, there's a lot to go

337
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.400
over with. Dude with laundry hamper
and chain He had multiple chainsaws too.

338
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:40.240
He did not dual wield them though, just one at a time and then

339
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.559
fired one up and then uh,
bean bag city. So but three hours

340
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:48.160
and the standoffs in the back of
a truck. Now I was baiting a

341
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:56.240
little on the laundry hamper, right, Uh, is one of our emailers

342
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.880
with law enforcement experience. The guy
put the bask on his head to avoid

343
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:03.680
be and taste or spray. This
is super common, although I do like

344
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:11.200
I didn't read the second line yet. This is super common when red Rover

345
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.319
red rovers send crazy over. So
if you're if that's you playing along and

346
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.480
infiltrating now kids games. In the
end of everything, you say, uh,

347
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:23.119
it's you're welcome people around you.
You're going to think you're crazy today,

348
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.160
and that's good. Here's the problem
with that, though, because I

349
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.160
thought that too for a moment,
and maybe it was what went through his

350
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.519
head. I want everyone to think
about a laundry basket or it. Let's

351
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:40.079
maybe you're listening at home right a
glance at your laundry basket. Is there

352
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:47.079
anything that stands out to you in
the design or construction of it as to

353
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:52.759
whether it would provide full protection from
like, uh, you know, a

354
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.640
chemical spray. CaCO Day radio program, Glad to have you along. Let's

355
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.799
get you updated on a few stories. Uh get a how does a cemetery

356
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:11.279
catch on fire? Well, it's
myrtle beach. So if somebody was gonna

357
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:17.480
do it, I kid, I
kid, it's you know, what's funny

358
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.799
is there's a there's a radio host
down there who I've met him a few

359
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.440
times, and he used to he
used to be on the radio in Wilmington,

360
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:30.039
and him and I follow, you
know, we follow each other on

361
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.920
Twitter or whatever, and sometimes he'll
like some stuff that we post, and

362
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.119
he posts some interesting stuff sometimes.
And I remember I made a myrtle it

363
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.640
was some dumb little myrtle joke on
Twitter one time over a story, and

364
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:48.400
it was arguably a dumb story,
and I think I ticked that dude off.

365
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.440
Man he like DM ME and bunch
of stuff, so he's listening.

366
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.200
It's a joke. I still don't
know how you get a cemetery on fire.

367
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:04.119
Let's see two in the morning,
especially overnight, what is going on?

368
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:14.039
The candles of the seance fall over? Oh my god, Oh I'm

369
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:17.839
sorry. I should not have been
making jokes about this at all. This

370
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:25.759
is Oh no, you sitting down? No, I'm actually standing up.

371
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.039
Oh all right, well, just
sitting down sitting there, okay, all

372
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.480
right, all right, all right. Seven thousand people are dead on the

373
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:42.039
scene at the yeah cemetery, I
mean were they were they already dead?

374
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.880
You know what? I don't know. Why do you hate journalism? I

375
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.759
mean, I'm saying this is like
you know, once again, this is

376
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.200
a they're dead. Isn't that all
that matters? You do not care that

377
00:32:52.240 --> 00:33:01.559
they're dead? Seven thousand dead when
firefighters and police arrived. I mean,

378
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:08.839
how quick is that's more than January
sixth Yeah? By trying to think of

379
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:17.039
the number, what sixty nine ninety
nine seven thousand? Wow? Wow,

380
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.160
I'm sorry, I was sorry.
I'm sorry. Seven thousand, seven thousand

381
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:30.039
dead spread over twenty acres. What
a mess? Wow? Look at that?

382
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:38.279
This partly this guy he was born
in eighteen twelve, living his best

383
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:44.519
life, probably retired down to Myrtle, and unfortunately it had gone too soon.

384
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:47.880
All right, So Ross has a
theory that they were already dead.

385
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.319
I don't know. It's the by
the way, for those of you who

386
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.759
kind of know Myrtle, it's the
one right on the south end of down

387
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:59.799
well, it's not quite where Ocean
Boulevard kicks back out, but by the

388
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.400
the what a can coon lagoon or
whatever that big golf thing is. So

389
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:10.159
anyway, just tragedy, all right, that's right. I'm just showing you

390
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:16.320
how easy it is to juice a
news story for no reason whatsoever. And

391
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:23.079
this, you know, we could
have got a little heads up or a

392
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:30.400
little pressure release, It's all I'm
saying, But so be it. So

393
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:40.119
the congressional runoff in the triad is
no more in the sixth district, which,

394
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.840
let's face it, the congressional race
itself is over to now, right

395
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:51.559
because the runoff for all practical purposes, because there's not even the Democrats didn't

396
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:59.199
field. Somebody was too close by
that thirty percent margin we require. And

397
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:06.199
the top vote getters were Mark Walker
and Addison McDowell. Obviously, we've spoken

398
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.199
to both of these gentlemen through the
course of the campaign. If you remember,

399
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:16.000
Addison came on the show with Trump
Junior, so and so they were.

400
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:21.119
It was announced the right, here's
the numbers. I think Mark had

401
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.000
to request it. I think that's
the way it works, right, And

402
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:30.079
instead we find out that Walker has
instead accepted a position within the Trump Trump

403
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:38.920
campaign, So he has he's bowed
out. He's congratulated Addison McDowell. McDowell's

404
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.199
going to be in Congress. You
better start getting all his congress stuff together

405
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:49.199
because unless I guess something really crazy, Addison don't do barbecues, or say

406
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:53.679
you're doing barbecue and then stand there
with a folded an apron with a fold

407
00:35:53.719 --> 00:36:01.199
in it in front of a gas
grill with hamburger buttons that are unopened and

408
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.079
nothing's dirty. Don't do that.
Look at that. I should be a

409
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:12.199
campaign consultant. Walker has accepted a
position within the campaign as the director of

410
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:22.000
Outreach for Faith and Minority Communities.
This announcement follows yesterday where officially both Biden

411
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.760
and Trial well Tuesday, but yesterday
kind of with some of the numbers they

412
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:30.199
were still waiting for both of them
receive the number of delis. They're the

413
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:37.000
nominees now, you know, barring
some weirdness. So after that, Mark

414
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:43.159
says he's out, He's going to
go do this. Let's see here.

415
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:51.079
That is interesting, and you know
what is that parlay to potentially right,

416
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:57.239
because a lot of times people within
the campaign find themselves serving in some capacity

417
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:04.239
within the administration if the administration is
Victoria. So you know, I don't

418
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.079
know what the endgame is, but
we'll ask him next time, next time,

419
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.480
because he calls in from time to
time, so he's not a candid

420
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.320
anymore. So I don't even have
to worry about any of that, all

421
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.039
right, eight eight, eight,
nine, three four seven, eight seventy

422
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.880
four. Just wanted to a couple
a couple other little stories out there,

423
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.280
make sure you were aware of this
morning. All right, let me get

424
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:36.119
into this. I was under the
impression that the only thing in the world

425
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:43.159
that Hunter Biden his lawyers wanted was
a public hearing in front of the House

426
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:53.239
Oversight Committee. I know this because
I was inundated with statements from his attorney's

427
00:37:53.280 --> 00:38:01.039
statements from some Democratic lawmakers, and
I saw this at the press conference where

428
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:10.280
Hunter Biden, who was flanked by
Eric Swalwell, who's on the committee.

429
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.280
My dad remember when he was out
and they were out in front of the

430
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:22.039
Capitol demanding a public hearing and pretending
like it didn't go the same way that

431
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:28.760
all of these things generally go,
including the January sixth committee, which Swallwell

432
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.159
sat on, and that is,
you have a private hearing, you have

433
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:38.599
a public hearing when you're dealing with
things that might include sensitive or classified topics.

434
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.760
That's it. And they said,
no, we just want the public

435
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:52.079
hearing. Well, they did the
non public hearing right now, and not

436
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:57.599
to the extent obviously that they want. Now the Biden camp is refusing to

437
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:01.960
do a public hearing. Yeah,
Hunter Biden declined an invitation to testify before

438
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:09.719
the House Oversight Committee next week as
part of the impeachment inquiry into Obviously this

439
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:15.440
is into Joe Biden, but you
know, Hunter Biden is an integral part.

440
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:21.280
Abby Lowell, lawyer for Hunter Biden, wrote a letter to Oversite chairman

441
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:27.320
Comer, saying neither he nor his
client would make the hearing, but it

442
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:32.679
was because of a court hearing in
California the next day, and if they'd

443
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.559
have left it there, I think
maybe that's how you argue it. But

444
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.519
instead, she went on to say, the scheduling conflict is the least of

445
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:45.840
the issues. You're blatant planned for
media event is not a proper proceeding but

446
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.880
an obvious attempt to throw a hail
Mary pass. Yeah. No, Look,

447
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:54.280
is she accurate that a congressional hearing
is not a court of law?

448
00:39:54.639 --> 00:40:00.719
Absolutely, but don't pretend like it's
a new thing. And also, this

449
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:05.920
is literally the thing you wanted.
And remember, not only did the demand

450
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:10.119
it, Remembory showed up to other
parts of the hearing and then ran out

451
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:17.400
of the room when somebody tried to
talk to him. He did agree to

452
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:22.880
participate in the deposition two weeks ago, but that was under threat of contempt.

453
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.920
Now it's the public hearing the thing
you wanted, and they don't want

454
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.639
anything to do with it. So
make of that what you will, all

455
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.079
right? Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. I mentioned

456
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:38.119
there's some UFO stuff. I guess
we're done with everything else. We will

457
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:43.199
give you the details on that coming
up here on the CaCO Day radio program.

458
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:46.639
Oh man, all right, we
got they're both kind of football related,

459
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:52.840
but not the football itself, but
rather the side stories with the little

460
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:59.440
little politics. Hang on a second, I want to call up the updated

461
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.199
version of this story because I'm gonna
pair him together, which I wasn't gonna

462
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:10.519
do. All right, So we
mentioned yesterday on the show that RFK Junior

463
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:15.039
and his was asked if you,
because he's running as an independent, who

464
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:22.400
would be your who would be your
VP nominee? And he mentioned a few

465
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.559
things, but he said he had
a short list, and if you remember,

466
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:32.840
the short list was a New York
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota

467
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:39.880
governor and wrestler actor Jesse Ventura,
so we had like, who would you

468
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:45.360
choose? Well, this somehow got
so much funnier when I realized that when

469
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:52.320
the statement was made Aaron Rodgers,
he wasn't hanging around in New York.

470
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.320
He wasn't back in Wisconsin. I
don't even know if you still got a

471
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.880
place up there. No, Aaron
Rodgers at the time time the news report

472
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.519
came out, was on a one
of his ahuasca, you know, the

473
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:15.440
hallucinogen which opened his mind as his
darkness retreats and all that. He is

474
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:20.199
at a retreat in Costa Rica.
Actually, and I can tell you as

475
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:29.440
somebody a little Costa Rica knowledge,
these jungle hallucinogen experiences or these beach side

476
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.000
ones like over by Tamarindo and whatnot, or if you get it where all

477
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.400
the surf camps are. They're flipping
everywhere. So if your kids on a

478
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.280
gap year and they're going to come
down to learn to surf in Costa Rica,

479
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.599
just know that there's also these hot
box and then E EDM festivals,

480
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.960
which is, you know whatever,
if grown adults want to go do that,

481
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:54.159
I really don't care. That being
said, the media is trying to

482
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.079
get a hold of this dude,
right, because now they want to ask

483
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:00.119
him. And it's not the reporters
that are normal calling him, right,

484
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.719
It's not Aaron whatever from ESPN or
the guy from Fox Sports or whatever,

485
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.119
right you have the you have political
reporters who are trying they can't figure out

486
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:13.599
what They couldn't get a hold of
Aaron Rodgers because they wanted to know,

487
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.519
and then this came to light.
Can you imagine? Can you? Can

488
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:24.639
you imagine you're now you're now sourced
into this political story, right, and

489
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.880
you get a call from I don't
know, Martha Rattits or something, and

490
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:36.800
you also are so high you think
dragons are chasing you. I must hear

491
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:42.039
how that goes. And then that's
your first statement, Like we were able

492
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.840
to reach Rogers and he said,
watch out for the red one. It

493
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.519
breathes fire. It's obviously a and
then they'll you know, it's whatever spin

494
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:55.960
they put on it. So I
guess my question is, if Rogers promises

495
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:04.880
to always be hallucinating high, does
that change your opinion? Because what does

496
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.400
the VP really do other than that
they might as well entertain us. I

497
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.840
mean, I might evoe for that, just for the show content. That's

498
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:14.639
what I'm saying Rogers, he's I
don't know, he's gotta go cut a

499
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:16.800
ribbon into school or whatever the VP
right, and then he blows out his

500
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:21.800
achilles and he starts screaming about the
shadow people. Yes, amazing, Yeah,

501
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:23.039
those kids. You know, if
fast those kids are gonna grow up

502
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:30.239
at that elementary school, that's gonna
be with them forever. But it's not

503
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.079
the good with them forever. It's
the other side. So yeah, Aaron

504
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:42.920
Rodgers man. So he's literally on
a psychedelic week long trip, which is

505
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.800
not just by the way, it's
not just the ayhuasca or whatever. It

506
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.480
also includes various mushrooms some other style. I don't know, bufo. I

507
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:57.400
don't even know what that is.
I'm assuming another hallucinogenic and and his phone's

508
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:04.679
blowing up. I guess he's now
back in the US, But at the

509
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.199
time the news broke, he wasn't
all right. So that's number one,

510
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.000
number two. And I was telling
Ross this when I saw Nick Saban doing

511
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:13.920
the Remember I don't know if you
saw the presser with him, you know,

512
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:15.800
saying I'm done in Alabama. He
was, you know, he was

513
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.559
talking about how his players acted following
the Michigan game. But also you could

514
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:24.280
tell he's bothered by the bigger what's
going on within the NC double A.

515
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:28.440
And he didn't come right out and
say that it's the you know, kids

516
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:34.239
can go get sponsors and money,
name image likeness, but it's getting crazy.

517
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:38.000
Dude, I said, I was
thinking of Georgia. I said,

518
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:45.639
Georgia. It's old missus. Quarterback
Jackson Dart has a private jet. Now,

519
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.800
yeah, that's great. It's gonna
end up. Well, we're just

520
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.360
gonna say, we're gonna skip right
to the beginning of Rocky three with all

521
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:59.840
these athletes. Now, I only
am excited about this because I want to

522
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:07.800
see what its version looks like compared
to what we saw with the Google picture

523
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:14.599
renderer right where it's like, here's
some black Nazis. Okay, here's only

524
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.440
black Nazis. No, I can't
draw a white family. Let me do

525
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:22.360
this. Here's a Viking from the
thirteen hundred, right. You remember all

526
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:30.719
the stupidity and other than rendering comically
large buckets of chicken where we'll put white

527
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:36.000
dudes in there, mound down.
The whole thing was a disaster, and

528
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.960
it wasn't just the images. Also, if you asked her to return the

529
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:42.719
list of all of the presidents of
the United States it had it just left

530
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:49.559
Trump off. Yeah. So I
say this because I was reading yesterday that

531
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:57.039
Google's Deep Mind has introduced a new
video game focused AI. Right, so

532
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:01.119
this is still part of the deep
Mind stuff. And what is it called?

533
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:10.679
Seema? So Seema is an AI
agent but for use in video games.

534
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.800
And here's how you use it.
Let's say you want to play Let's

535
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:24.360
say let's say you want to play
a video game where normally the game would

536
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:30.800
allow you to play in online or
I guess online is the wrong word.

537
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:31.639
What am I ross? What am
I looking for? Where you can play

538
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:37.000
people around the world? Just multiplayer
multiplayer, but also there's the multiplayer if

539
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.159
it's you and your buddies sitting in
a room with multiple remotes, controls,

540
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.480
excuse me. And then there's just
you doing your own thing within it and

541
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.559
not nobody else is involved. So
this is where the AI comes in.

542
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:57.199
So in both the multiplayer, but
if you don't want to be in the

543
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:00.159
general pool right out there and just
get whoever, like you're in a private

544
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.760
party with your friends, private party, you can play against the AI,

545
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:07.800
all right, So I could be
your competition. I guess if you have

546
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:14.199
no friends, and this is where
I think it's more interesting. Or you

547
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:19.760
can use the AI as an AI
as a video game helper, an assistant,

548
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:24.320
and the AI will take on tasks
that you would normally have to do

549
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.679
as part of playing whatever the game
is. So I can't speak to tall

550
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:32.000
games about giving an example. One
of the only more modern games that I

551
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:38.400
really play, I guess is Diablo. You know there's you know, there's

552
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:42.000
certain tasks and stuff that you got
to be doing. You got to be

553
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:45.280
watching your mana. You gotta be
you know, you might have to hit

554
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.800
a health potion or spell or something. You can literally have the AI do

555
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:53.679
this for you. I don't know. That sounds like cheating a little,

556
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.079
doesn't it. And that's just in
the purest use of it. I guess.

557
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:00.880
If you're just playing by your self, fine, But like if you

558
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:05.800
have an AI that's doing all this
stuff for you, and you can intricately

559
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:09.400
ask it to do stuff that normally
the player would have to, you know,

560
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:15.000
smash the buttons to accomplish, or
you know, have keep one eye

561
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:16.159
point one way, one the other, you know, whatever it is,

562
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:22.079
whatever that difficulty is it will,
It'll handle it for you. So like

563
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.519
it. It's like the it like
nerves video games for you. Yeah.

564
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:29.440
It'd be pretty cool though, if
you're playing like one of these RPG games

565
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:30.840
and you want to like step away
and you're going to bed at night because

566
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:34.400
you need to get some sleep because
you want to be a functioning human being,

567
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.239
but you need to remain right for
farming, and then it would just

568
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:38.599
farm in the overnight. You'd wake
up and you'd have all your resources.

569
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:42.199
That'd be pretty good. Oh I'm
getting to that. Yeah, yeah,

570
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:46.880
yeah, yeah. But also that's
like that's the practical stuff you got.

571
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:52.639
It'll farm for you, it will, it will in in while you're actually

572
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:54.280
playing, it will do things for
you. I don't know how necessarily it

573
00:49:54.320 --> 00:50:00.719
adapts to every game, but you
know, some games are much more complex.

574
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.280
But also, let's look at it
from a Google perspective. You remember

575
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.159
how woke that last demon pile of
garbage was? What does that look like

576
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:12.360
here? What if it's your virtual
assistant, so to speak, and you're

577
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.880
playing Red Dead Redemption too. You
think the Google AI is gonna let you

578
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:23.360
eat a horse? No, not
a chance. Also, what if you

579
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:29.760
ask the Google AI to to kill
enemies that appear to be from non white

580
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:31.239
po who is about to say,
Like, you're playing like some sort of

581
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:35.480
role playing you know, the D
and D game or whatever. It is,

582
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:38.320
Like you're like in the Character Creator, you create a big in a

583
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.880
white barbarian, you know what I
mean, and like you need to take

584
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:44.159
something to heal yourself, and it's
like, no, you need to share

585
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:46.199
your help poaching with the orcs or
whatever. You know, you know that's

586
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.119
a white privilege, the white you
know what means exactly. You've seen all

587
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:54.480
exactly, you bigot. Yeah.
But also it's funny you mentioned the character

588
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.039
creator. I think it'd be a
whot just to tell it, Hey,

589
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:01.519
create me a character and see what
that monstrosity looks like. Right, That's

590
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.719
kind of something that goes around the
character creators. I've seen that in boulders

591
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:07.239
Gate three, where like you can
you can do you know, you can

592
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:09.800
hit a button and it'll make you
a character on its own, or you

593
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:12.920
could do it right, but a
lot of times it takes so much time.

594
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.400
So it's like I'm just gonna push
this butt until I find a character

595
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.119
that I want, and you can
push that button I did on stream on

596
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.079
the Twitch channel. You push that
button for like twenty minutes and you're not

597
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:25.119
gonna see any white characters pop up. But they'll be purple and they'll be

598
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:28.800
blue and they'll be real. Yeah, it's weird, And I'm like,

599
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:30.159
all I want is like a it
was like a Viking, That's all I

600
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:36.199
want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well that's the you know I want.

601
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:38.360
I want a classic Arnold Schwartz nigger, D and D barbarian. That's

602
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:45.559
what I want. I mean,
are you I'm just I'm trying to think

603
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:50.320
of the way that the classes.
I remember Diablo changed something where because you

604
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.000
can pick the gender on this on
the load screen, right, So if

605
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:58.239
your care the character, great,
you'd not even going in and just doing

606
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.199
individual things. That's not what it's
really about. But you can pick the

607
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:06.639
classes, right, and then you
can pick man or woman and you can

608
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:08.920
make some changes. And it used
to be it had the man standing see

609
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.639
here the male barbarian. You had
to flip to the right to see the

610
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:15.400
female one and then you know,
if you wanted to go play that,

611
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:19.840
and then they switched it. So
yeah, there's already little stuff in there.

612
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:25.679
I didn't realize it was that that
they're already doing that. What's the

613
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:31.400
what's the one where they were all
excited because you can assign different genitals.

614
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:36.840
The opposite gent was that cyber was
a cyber cyberpunk. Yeah, cyberpunk,

615
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.039
that's right, son. You imagine
just turning it loose, just telling it,

616
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:43.239
hey, create whatever you want.
Is like, yeah, I understand

617
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:44.960
you want to be a dude,
but do you want to be a dude

618
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.719
with female parts? Yeah? Wait, well so I'm look, I'm looking

619
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:52.920
forward to that, man. But
also I would point this out because that's

620
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:54.320
all seems We're like, well,
people will use it to cheat. I

621
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.920
don't know if you know this.
And I'm not even an avid gamer by

622
00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:04.920
any means. I've heard that there
are on PC games. Uh, that's

623
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.960
the thing that are on what No, it's not. It's not a thing

624
00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:14.599
that I think your little b a
little Alex jonesy here am I conspiracy theory?

625
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:20.719
Yeah? So that one E sports
chick who had literally minimized the game

626
00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:23.039
on her screen and it had all
these control panels and she freaked out and

627
00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:28.320
now she can't compete. That was
what that's Alex Jones her Because I remember

628
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:31.159
actually watching the little video on that. So well, there you go,

629
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:37.639
so now, dude. But also
it's like, this is the last point,

630
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:46.000
we're now so lazy. We made
something to play video games for us?

631
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:52.159
Oh ross, I did get by
the way, I did get you

632
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.199
a game as a gift, and
I hope you play it on the screen.

633
00:53:55.239 --> 00:54:00.000
Would you get laying on the couch
simulator? It's great? Yeah?

634
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:04.360
Yeah, So what you do is
you get you pick your couch, and

635
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:09.840
then you you lay on it all
day. I'm not gonna lie and watch

636
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.400
I don't know all the Rocky movies
yet to sit down and play the game

637
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.639
or install it. Yeah, but
I feel like I could go pro game

638
00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:21.440
of the Year right to get some
words. It's gonna be amazing. And

639
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:25.000
and by the way, there are
you think there's no uh you know,

640
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:29.679
who's the who's the baddie in this? Uh? Well, in the game,

641
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:32.679
while you're laying there doing nothing,
your spouse at some point will come

642
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:37.400
up with some like little job that
really doesn't have to be done right now.

643
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.800
But obviously this is about exerting some
sort of control because you have a

644
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:45.639
stationary personality and they're up all around
and so they think everyone should always be

645
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:49.400
up all around, and so you
got to fend that boss off and then

646
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:52.400
your kids like a pay attention to
me, and you know, so the

647
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:55.000
look, there's gonna be things built
in. I don't want to spoil all

648
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:59.440
of it, but it's gonna be
amazing, just like the weather from Race

649
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:04.480
aging. Got an easy job.
What's going on? My man? Man,

650
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:08.800
not much, I'd i'd call it
amazing yesterday? Yeah, like it,

651
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:13.920
man, get sticks out yet,
I'm just I'm being I'm being Oh

652
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:16.360
yeah, dude, I golf,
So I didn't golf. Well look for

653
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:22.199
you because you know, because it's
winter rules right now, how it's always

654
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:28.159
winter rules? Oh free free drive
right yeah? You know. I'm probably

655
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:30.159
going to be forced to get back
out there after twenty plus years because my

656
00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:38.239
youngest daughter's boyfriend is an extremely good
golfer, actually going to going to school

657
00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:40.760
in a scholarship for golf. And
I'm like, now I have to go

658
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:44.960
out and golf. But the good
news is at the local golf course,

659
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:47.440
somebody knows me from TV, so
I get free free first round, first

660
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:52.079
free golf. So first time that's
ever happened. Yeah, admitting too,

661
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:58.679
why are you admitting to a violation
of broadcast rules. Well it's you know

662
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:05.679
free by the way, I'm teasing. Technically, he's not doing anything wrong,

663
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:07.440
but I you know, we just
had our training, so I feel

664
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:10.280
all smart. So yeah, yeah, I've had that training a long time

665
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:15.840
ago, but now we do it
every Yeah it's fun. Yeah, it's

666
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:20.280
well, yeah, it's complicated.
Here's go with him, because if you

667
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:22.079
really want to go play golf,
I don't care. Nobody knows what you

668
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:24.519
say, right, you know what
I'm saying. If they want to get

669
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:28.079
out, get out of their house
because they're done, you know, they'll

670
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.800
be like, exactly beautiful. So
yeah it is. And do we get

671
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:37.280
records eighty six for Raleigh? Today's
the record in nineteen ninety probably not eighty

672
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:42.000
two. Then the tryad seventy five. Today's today will be in the upper

673
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.480
seventies. Excuse me, the records
eighty two, So we get close.

674
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:46.960
But a beautiful day tomorrow. The
clouds will increasing. Another dry day in

675
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:51.239
the upper seventies to low eighties with
the gusty breeze and then the round of

676
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:53.639
showers. Of the other showers actually
may come in during the nighttime hours Friday

677
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:58.320
may clip you before midnight if you
are heading out Friday night, but maybe

678
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:01.159
gone by the weekend, and lots
of sunshine at pleasant over the weekend,

679
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:04.800
and the morning lows will be in
the fifties, afternoon highs a lot to

680
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.199
mid seventies, so you know,
those mornings would come on out and just

681
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:08.679
take that deep breath of air and
be like, wow, this is nice,

682
00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:12.920
this is real nice. Little chill
your next week, we may spend

683
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:15.800
a couple of mornings down close to
freezing in some spots, maybe colder in

684
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:21.239
the mountains in the twenties as this
coal front comes on in and then sunshine

685
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:23.119
I think though, with the cooler
temperatures more seasonable, as the average highs

686
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:27.320
this time of year are in the
low sixties. Okay, all right,

687
00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:29.599
thank you sir, appreciate it.
We'll tell us in an hour. Yep,

688
00:57:29.639 --> 00:57:31.159
there you go. Ray Stagic from
the Weather Channel. Dude, there's

689
00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:36.320
one ross, there's one boss in
laying on the couch stimulator. Your cat

690
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:38.559
comes in and it starts doing that
cough where you you know, it's like

691
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:40.840
are you gonna throw up? Is
that a hairball? You know? That

692
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.159
horrible noise that they make and you
have to resist getting off the couch to

693
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:49.320
deal with that, because your inclination
is to throw the damn thing outside.

694
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:52.960
But that's a trick, so pro
tip walk through. There you go.

695
00:57:53.440 --> 00:58:00.320
As Nancy Pelosi would say, win
a winter winter wait is not an attempt

696
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:06.639
to ban TikTok. It's an attempt
to make TikTok better. T tech toe

697
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.199
a winner, winner, a winner. Okay, excuse me, I got

698
00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:14.960
it wrong, So anyway, enjoy
seven forty eight. Hang on this dude

699
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:17.440
emails all the time, always laughing, funny all this, but I have

700
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.840
but I have irritated one of our
own miss fans. You need to correct

701
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:29.039
the racker. Jackson Dart does not
quote have a plane. Jackson Dart has

702
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:37.840
an endorsement agreement with Nicholas Ayre,
a private jet provider who also provides him

703
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:43.199
a planet. Said, let me
just explain something to you, not that

704
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:46.599
I've opted not to have a private
jet. I believe Ross has made the

705
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:52.800
same decision. That being said,
some people and some companies do, and

706
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:58.400
a lot of times they don't own
the plane. If you know this,

707
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:00.960
there are you can do it through
lease, or you can own a plane.

708
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.280
You can do it through leases,
or you can do it through one

709
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:09.599
of the subscription services or you know
the various charters that are out there.

710
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:15.159
In fact, I went on a
vacation one time where one of the dudes

711
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:22.440
he had through his company, I
think they had net jets or whatever it

712
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:27.159
is, well one of them and
like his flight had gotten his stuff had

713
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.440
gotten all screwed up. He was
flying across the country where a bunch of

714
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.239
us were vacationing, and he just
was like, everything's screwed up. He

715
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:37.920
literally was just like, I need
a private jet for this last leg and

716
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:43.480
boom. But he didn't own it, but he still said, I have

717
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.639
a plane. Right. So yes, if Ross or I were doing an

718
00:59:46.719 --> 00:59:52.880
endorsement for one of the one of
the private jet companies and we had we

719
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:57.639
had our own jet to use,
I feel like I would say I have

720
00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:00.760
a plane. My buddy is like, oh man, I we should go

721
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:05.440
to New York this week take Amtrak. No I gotta I got a plane.

722
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:10.920
So I don't know what you're equivalent
over, sir. I think people

723
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:15.760
understand how that works. Okay,
all right, wonderful, all right,

724
01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:19.760
coming up, Steven Kent, He's
gonna join us or we'll get into the

725
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:23.760
TikTok stuff. You know what.
I'm also I'm probably gonna start it off

726
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:29.639
with the the Google, because I
know he'll think that's as amusing as I

727
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:34.840
do. Turning the woke Google loose
on the video game industry. I can't

728
01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:37.760
even I can't even imagine. You
know what. I wonder, Oh,

729
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:47.679
I wonder, dude, you could
moderate your Twitch channel for you. I

730
01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:52.360
wonder if that's going to be part
of this. Twitch already has that.

731
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:58.079
Oh they have their own, Ye
don't, but don't you have moderators on

732
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:01.280
your channel? People do choose to
have both. I have both. Well,

733
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:07.280
I turn off the automode for Twitch
because it's like super strict. Yeah.

734
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:09.000
Like it's like if if something happens
in the game and you're like,

735
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:13.480
ah, the game is a jerk, it'll it'll oh no, it'll bleep,

736
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.519
it'll you know, it'll it'll take
out the word jerk in the chat

737
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:20.360
because that could have been offensive to
somebody. Okay, it's really bad.

738
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:23.559
All right, Well, okay,
so it's I assume the Google would be

739
01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:28.239
that, but also about every five
minutes in the chat stream, it would

740
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:32.320
it would be like here's some transgender
facts, right, or some like it

741
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:37.039
feel an obligation eventually to educate you. I I don't. I don't even

742
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:43.280
know how sideways this goes, but
I'm definitely curious to have the conversation.

743
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:46.840
And there was what was the There
was one uh oh, the oscar,

744
01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:51.039
A couple of oscar follow ups.
So we'll get into all that coming up

745
01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:57.880
here right after the top oh the
hour Stephen Kent, who joins us this

746
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:05.519
morning for all things at the intersection
of nerd stuff and politics. That's how

747
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:08.239
we do this thing. How you
doing, Steven Casey? I'm hanging in

748
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:12.360
there? How about yourself hanging in
You're not sick or anything? Are you?

749
01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:16.559
The pollen is trying to kill me. Spring has sprung, and as

750
01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:20.840
such I'm suffering, but I'll make
it. Well, you didn't want a

751
01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:22.519
yellow car? Huh, Well,
that's how that goes. So now,

752
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.880
although in this case a lot of
times we talk about kind of ancillary stories,

753
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:32.159
but I want to start with a
couple couple things. Well, we'll

754
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:35.559
get to the TikTok thing here in
a moment. Ross and I were just

755
01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:40.920
talking about the Google Seema are you
are you following this? So this is

756
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:45.960
the video game AI that Google's and
of course we know that what Google did

757
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:52.440
a couple of weeks ago with their
wonderful image generator, which we talked about.

758
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:58.079
But are you familiar with the AI
Google video game product? Now,

759
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:02.440
tell me about it. Oh,
it's oh so basically the Google AI.

760
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:07.199
Uh, this is one of their
deep mind products known as SEMA. Is

761
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:10.800
an AI agent that can be used
by gamers in a variety of ways.

762
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:15.920
Let's say you want to play against
somebody, but you don't want you know,

763
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:19.519
you don't want some loudmouth twelve year
old from a public forum screaming at

764
01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:23.840
you, so you got to you
could play the AI, right, So

765
01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:27.239
if you want to play, you
can play against them. However, where

766
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:30.880
it starts to get even weirder is
it can also be your assistant. So

767
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:36.639
you know, if if you're playing
a game and let's say, like a

768
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:39.480
lot of modern games, you got
to have you gotta have reflexes of an

769
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:44.880
eight year old to excel, you
can have it do stuff. So if

770
01:03:44.920 --> 01:03:47.679
it's a game that requires you to
watch your health and manna and maybe make

771
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:52.239
you know, hit some buttons occasionally, but you always die because you're paying

772
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:55.599
attention to that, well, the
AI will do that for you kind of

773
01:03:55.639 --> 01:04:00.480
feels like cheating. Man, you
know what I'm saying, that's cheating.

774
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.000
I have no kind words to say
about that. Now. I do recall

775
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:10.280
now that this is the deep Mind
AI tool that was covered as learning how

776
01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:13.960
to play the Goat Simulator game,
right, which, by the way,

777
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.599
if you've never played Goat Simulator,
it's a truly religious experience and I recommend

778
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:23.400
it for everyone. The game is
literally just being a goat and running around

779
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:27.039
running around the city. But no, I mean, that's that's cheating.

780
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.480
That's not how you play video games. I guess, like I can remember

781
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:34.239
sometimes playing video games with my brother
where he'd be, you know, sitting

782
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:39.119
over my shoulder and telling me like, all right, now jump over this

783
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:42.719
chasm and then now you've got to
jump up this wall. But that's a

784
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:48.440
little bit different than having AI.
That's a walk through guide that doesn't Yeah,

785
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:53.119
but that, But here's some other
example, and then I'll get into

786
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:57.320
the scary stuff. Ross pointed this
out. And the example I used when

787
01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:00.679
I was talking about a game with
Man in Power that was Yablo, right,

788
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:03.880
because it's really the only one I'm
actually familiar with. And and but

789
01:05:04.039 --> 01:05:09.280
in that game, like many games, you gotta you gotta, you gotta

790
01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:13.800
put in the time, right you
got if you want decent stuff, you

791
01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:17.239
gotta you gotta farm is the term
that they use. And you know that

792
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:21.760
thing's farming for you overnight. I
can understand why people might want it.

793
01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:27.840
I mean, also, we're now
so lazy that we're we've created technology to

794
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:32.079
play video games for us Steven,
Yeah, we've reached a new level of

795
01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:35.400
despair as a country. You know, video games were supposed to be the

796
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:40.840
thing that give us the total permission
just to do nothing and kick back and

797
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:44.400
relax and you know, exit from
society. And now we're just gonna have

798
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:47.639
robots do that for us too.
Well. And but here's the here's the

799
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:54.039
one caveat, I'll say. And
I realized this almost immediately when I was

800
01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:57.800
just a young in and we got
our we got the Nintendo, right,

801
01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:00.960
big deal. Finally got an intend
though we were lagging a little behind some

802
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:04.960
other households. And I the first
thing I learned about video games is they

803
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:09.159
cheat. So six year old me
thought that. Forty three year old me

804
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.840
thinks that. So maybe that's how
people will justify it. But I want

805
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:15.760
you to look at it through the
woke filter. Remember everything that just happened

806
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:23.440
with Google's image generator, right.
Can you imagine asking the AI Google Video

807
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:29.159
Game Assistant on a game like Cyberpunk, which has a very woke character creator,

808
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:32.760
just saying, hey, make make
me a character what that monstrosity would

809
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:40.639
look like? No, I can. I can only begin to imagine they're

810
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:45.199
going to take take all the options
off the board for building your own character

811
01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:46.800
that you might want to have.
It's it's just appointing, and you know,

812
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.559
like on the on the AI front
though, I mean just thinking about

813
01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:54.480
you know that you're going to have
this AI tool that I don't know,

814
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:57.400
it diminishes like any sort of effort
that you put into it. Like it

815
01:06:57.559 --> 01:07:02.199
really is all sort of the same
nexus of woke ideology, whether it's the

816
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:06.239
racial stuff or whether it's just the
you know, you don't have to try

817
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:12.719
and reach certain standards and achieve lowering
the bar for everybody. I don't like

818
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:16.079
it. You've brought despair to me
this morning, Casey. Well, here's

819
01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:19.119
some further despair before we get over
the TikTok thing. We also had a

820
01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:24.480
story yesterday about this thing. Now, the school districts are adopting, including

821
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:28.320
in US and Canada. And I
think the Ottawa which is like a huge

822
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:33.400
district of in Canada, just signed
on and it's called inclusive commencements, right.

823
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:38.239
I guess this is in opposition to
those schools that wanted to do black

824
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:42.320
and white separate ones, which sounded
a little nineteen the Jim crowey to me,

825
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:47.400
in this case, everyone walks,
and now I mean everyone, including

826
01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:53.920
the kids who didn't graduate, because
they're you know, they want to they

827
01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:56.280
want to walk, they want to
walk. I don't know what you hand

828
01:07:56.320 --> 01:08:00.079
them, but I think it's time
just to abolish school all together. They're

829
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:03.000
route that they're route that we are
going down. They just need to cut

830
01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:09.079
to the chase these leftists, and
in Ottawa and in Seattle and you know

831
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:14.119
Portland, they just need to abolish
school and say that school itself is oppressive

832
01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:16.920
and just let everybody around the streets
during the day. I think that that's

833
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:19.560
what we're added towards. So why
don't we just get to it. Well,

834
01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:23.680
I'm with you, man, and
this is not an attack on teachers,

835
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:27.199
but rather a business decision. If
it doesn't matter whether you learn or

836
01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:31.000
not. The single greatest cost for
districts is personnel. Now, you don't

837
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:36.039
need personnel. You need like basically, you need like herders, like you

838
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:41.680
know, like sheep herders, basically
to keep the kids corralled. But otherwise

839
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:45.119
you're saying it's just a license to
print money. All right, This is

840
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:48.000
this is where I really wanted to
go with you. I am somebody who

841
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:56.479
is very sensitive to the idea that
government and languages of the laws that they

842
01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:03.840
pass will be intentional and for political
purposes, misutilized in many, if not

843
01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:11.159
most ways. Now, sometimes it's
stopped right and sometimes it's rectified. But

844
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:15.439
I'm a slippery slope guy, so
I'm all yours. When people are talking

845
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:20.039
about this TikTok bill, which some
people say is a trojan horse, right,

846
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:25.600
and the language of it was so
broad that they had to put these

847
01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:29.800
qualifiers into the bill, which is
true, which basically kind of was like

848
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:34.199
these carve outs, But it was
a tacit admission that maybe the initial language

849
01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:43.159
is too broad. But not everyone
feels that way because TikTok is a different

850
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:48.319
animal from what we've seen of from
social media. So I read your tweets,

851
01:09:48.760 --> 01:09:51.880
it sounds like you're more comfortable with
what they passed. I don't want

852
01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:55.640
to put words in your mouth,
but what do you think? Yeah,

853
01:09:55.760 --> 01:10:00.720
yeah, I am casey. So
first of all, I also identify regularly

854
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:04.840
as a slippery slope guy as well. Anytime this kind of legislation passes to

855
01:10:05.079 --> 01:10:11.800
control a scary thing under the guise
of national security, my hair stands on

856
01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:14.920
end. It makes me uncomfortable.
I grew up during the days of the

857
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.159
Patriot Act, and you know,
fool me once, you know, I

858
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:23.319
don't want to be fooled again by
this kind of alarmist power grabs by the

859
01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:26.800
federal government. But like you said, TikTok is a very different kind of

860
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:33.199
animal. And the language that went
into this new TikTok Divestiture Bill was initially

861
01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:38.039
very broad. And what you just
mentioned was that it was marked up and

862
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:42.960
there were specifications put in there to
you know, really tailor and narrow this

863
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:47.560
thing, to make sure that it
was targeted towards you know, foreign adversary

864
01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:54.600
owned companies operating outside of the bounds
of American law and sometimes in conflict with

865
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:59.039
the rules of the EU as well. So it was it went through the

866
01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:02.920
process that's kind of what Congress is
supposed to do is they're supposed to have

867
01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:09.199
an idea process a bill. Then
people like Rand Paul and Thomas Massey object

868
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:13.319
and they ask for changes to be
made, and changes got made. But

869
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:19.079
yet then they still double down on
wanting TikTok to operate under byte nance in

870
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:26.520
the United States, And I really
don't understand why. Well, again,

871
01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:31.640
there are as you know, watching
Congress deal with anything with technology, Like

872
01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:35.880
you remember the hearings where the one
guy didn't know that Facebook was free because

873
01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:39.279
ads, right, and he's just
like, oh my gosh. These are

874
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:43.960
the people making the laws technologically illiterate, right, right, So I get

875
01:11:44.039 --> 01:11:48.800
nervous anytime. My problem is this, I want to build that very specifically

876
01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:55.800
speaks to things, but also has
language in there that I feel needs to

877
01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:00.880
be needs to tell you the reason
for the bill and not the non reasons,

878
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:04.479
which is actually what the markups were
so went like basically, yes,

879
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:11.119
it's under the president's purview. It
has to meet these parameters talking about control

880
01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:15.640
either in part or total control of
a foreign entity that's among our enemies,

881
01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:20.039
so to speak. But rather than
going and by the way, this only

882
01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:28.319
counts for these sites, apps,
whatever that are in this particular you know,

883
01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:31.319
under this particular country, and this
is the list of countries. That's

884
01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.479
how it's going to be arrived at. But what the markup did, the

885
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:39.640
main one is basically said, this
really doesn't apply to food and travel stuff.

886
01:12:40.520 --> 01:12:44.399
This is weird, man, because
that sounds like somebody who has concerned

887
01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:48.399
that it might be too broadly interpreted. So well, I don't really know

888
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:53.439
why you would need to have it
be applied towards sports, food and travel

889
01:12:53.479 --> 01:12:57.520
and stuff. I mean, what
they're trying to address specifically is a data

890
01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:02.399
harvesting operation being run by the CCP
on America food and travel websites and content.

891
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:05.560
Not actually right, right, Okay, okay, just to be clear,

892
01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:10.079
I mean, yeah, that's and
that's all fine and good. I

893
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:16.199
just I really kind of just reject
I guess the idea that because this is

894
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:21.760
a piece of legislation that could in
theory be used, you know, inappropriately

895
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:25.680
in the future, which is the
case with almost every law that the federal

896
01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:31.000
government ever moves through. Ever,
that you just don't do good things such

897
01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:36.600
as kick byte dance out of the
United States and exchange for a company that

898
01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:42.720
actually protects the cybersecurity and national security
interests of the United States. I think

899
01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:45.960
we do actually have to do things
to inoculate and defend ourselves, and we

900
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:50.520
can't just screen liberty at the clouds
and go like, all right, liberty

901
01:13:50.680 --> 01:13:56.279
means that byte dance has to run
TikTok. No, it doesn't. That

902
01:13:56.439 --> 01:14:00.840
is not what liberty means at all. And so I'm just a little bit.

903
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:04.159
I don't believe that I agree with
you, by the way, on

904
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:08.079
that point, I don't. I
don't, And that's not where my objection

905
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:11.439
lies. It's not a liberty issue
because when you're dealing with China, you're

906
01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:15.520
dealing with China. Game game on, okay, Like you saw the story

907
01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:18.520
of the the the cranes at our
port. They figured out was talking to

908
01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:21.039
China. The other day, I
was watching one of the tech guys on

909
01:14:21.159 --> 01:14:28.119
YouTube who's based Yeah, he's got
the root of the vacuum. It's got

910
01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:32.119
a vacuum that's sending data to China. Like, yes, that's that's a

911
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:36.520
national security that's outside the parameters of
what is acceptable. Right. We have

912
01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:41.159
all sorts of stuff, But if
you look at the limitations the the old

913
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:44.520
ones, back in the day,
the Founding fathers, they were really around

914
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:47.760
uh eight, you know, aiding
our enemies. So to speak, right,

915
01:14:48.279 --> 01:14:51.000
you need to be all in on
the US. So I'm able to

916
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:56.399
separate that. But I also don't
trust these guys to go well, you

917
01:14:56.479 --> 01:14:59.760
know, because what have they complained
about with Twitter? They've complained that,

918
01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:03.600
you know, there are outside entities
within Russia that utilize Twitter. Of course

919
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:05.960
they use all of them, but
they always pointed to Yeah, and the

920
01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:12.359
FBI and the CIA has been using
Twitter as their own means of censoring and

921
01:15:12.439 --> 01:15:15.039
trying to control the US population.
And I don't. I don't trust the

922
01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:18.359
government as far as I can throw
it. It's you know, I don't

923
01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:24.319
at all. But that is just
the job of our champions of free speech

924
01:15:24.439 --> 01:15:27.960
and again the l word liberty in
Congress. I I love Rand Paul and

925
01:15:28.039 --> 01:15:31.239
Thomas Massey and you know, Dan
Bishop and all these guys who are are

926
01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:36.880
standing tall, you know, in
what they believe on this issue. Because

927
01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:41.560
slippery slopes exist. However, I
just think like, like, in this

928
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:45.199
case, we have to do something
to inoculate ourselves. This is a reasonable

929
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:48.800
solution, which is divestiture, not
a total band. And then we've got

930
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:53.960
to fight those fights when they come
down the road. Did you hear that

931
01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:59.600
Nancy Pelosi audio? By the way, you know, what the what the

932
01:15:59.720 --> 01:16:05.560
hell is not does this woman when
she sees a tween staring at their phone

933
01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:10.760
for nine hours on the plane and
never eyes, never deviated, does she

934
01:16:10.880 --> 01:16:14.680
think they're plane tic tac toe.
Here's the This is not an attempt to

935
01:16:14.840 --> 01:16:19.239
ban TikTok. It's an attempt to
make TikTok better. Tic tac toe A

936
01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:23.920
winner, A winner, A winner, a winner. Oh my god.

937
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:28.279
And this is how immature we are
around these parts. If I was this

938
01:16:28.279 --> 01:16:30.560
is why I couldn't be a member
of Congress. It would be hilarious.

939
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:34.000
But I would at any point,
for like the next two weeks that I

940
01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:36.560
had, you know, five minutes, my five minutes or whatever, I

941
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:41.319
would make whatever my passionate argument is, and I would do that thing at

942
01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:44.319
the end where they're just like,
oh, And what I would hope is

943
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:48.319
my you know, my friends across
the aisle would join me in this historic

944
01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:55.000
vote. And to that, I
say, duck, duck, goose.

945
01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:59.600
And then just and then I would
just incorporate kids, kids, games,

946
01:16:59.640 --> 01:17:03.159
reference and everything, because I'm that
immature. That means this is why they

947
01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:08.359
pay you the big money, Casey. But but I'm a bit of a

948
01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:11.359
watch It Burn guy. So it's
the point I was going to make is

949
01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:15.000
it's ironic that I'm also a slippery
slope guy because you were watch It Burn

950
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:17.720
guy. You wanted to go sideways, and I'm just that's right instead of

951
01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:23.119
just assuming it will so. And
then last yet, we haven't spoke to

952
01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:27.239
you since then. I got about
a minute and a half. Anything stand

953
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:30.920
out at the old Oscars for you
other the ratings were up actually a significant

954
01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:34.279
amounts. Yeah, you know,
it's not a coincidence. I think that

955
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:40.159
the ratings were both up, and
I thought it was actually a pretty good

956
01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:45.000
Oscars. Like all things considered,
it was funny. It did not take

957
01:17:45.079 --> 01:17:49.560
itself too seriously from end to end. I kind of get this feeling like

958
01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:58.279
the fever of total wokeness and lack
of humor in Hollywood and in culture is

959
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:01.319
starting to break just a little bit, Like I think that the temperature is

960
01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:05.760
starting to come down, and watching
the Oscars, I did get that feeling.

961
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:10.079
There's lots of stuff to laugh at. It seems like we're going back

962
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:15.800
towards being a country that can like
have funny Conversations again, and the Oscars

963
01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:19.479
did that. We've been watching now, I think two or three times.

964
01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:25.199
I'm just ken performance by Ryan Gosling
and it's worth it. It's funny.

965
01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:29.359
And the mulvaney thing too, with
the Field of Dreams, that was a

966
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:32.199
hoot. Field of Dreams. After
he is his monologue in one of his

967
01:18:32.279 --> 01:18:36.439
stand up specials where he did the
entire plot of The Fugitive. The first

968
01:18:36.479 --> 01:18:41.359
thing that we did was go and
watch The Fugitive. So now we want

969
01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:45.359
to watch Field of Dreams again.
That he's doing that for the movie industry.

970
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:46.760
All right, I got to roll
out like five seconds, but Stephen

971
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:51.000
Kent appreciate it. Well, we
got a whole bunch of cancelations this morning,

972
01:18:51.119 --> 01:18:57.000
so fetch me the taker bill.
Thank you. All right, let's

973
01:18:57.000 --> 01:18:59.880
go ahead and do this thing.
Roz. You want to start in US,

974
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:02.039
you're Canada. You want to work
north to south or south to north

975
01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:09.359
in Canada. We're going team Canada, all right, story numero, Well

976
01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:12.720
it wouldn't be numero, you know
it's Canada. So story one. Ah,

977
01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:24.159
here we go. So the Supreme
Court of Canada has labeled some words

978
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.439
confusing and unfortunate. Those are the
those are the words. Not those Tho's

979
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:34.399
not the words they labeled. But
that's how they described the word I'm about

980
01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:42.880
to tell you, and it's it's
very problematic. There's three words that,

981
01:19:42.960 --> 01:19:49.600
according to a ruling this week by
the Supreme Court of Canada, that unfortunately

982
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:55.840
create a very confusing environment, a
very unfortunate environment, and frankly don't have

983
01:19:55.960 --> 01:20:00.439
any place in They get into some
more plex kind of legal ease here.

984
01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:04.359
But you know, one of the
things you got to know about. I'm

985
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:08.079
not a lawyer, by the way, Ross, I just had Ross check

986
01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:15.399
to heard the break. But there
are phrases, words, labels, things

987
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:21.399
like that that are there's a certain
uniformity in in the law, especially especially

988
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:25.039
when you if you ever read the
bill, right, if you ever read

989
01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:34.239
one of the congress holes psychopathic handcrafted
pork delivery products, when part of the

990
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:38.479
bill is spent saying when you see
this word, this is what it means,

991
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:41.800
and that's you know, that's that's
there, and it's in law and

992
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:48.359
all of that. So the definition
of words is not an atypical discussion in

993
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:53.079
law. Now, I know what
you're wondering, what are the words,

994
01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:59.239
Well, it's individual words and or
the combination of the following words that can

995
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:09.600
be confused using. According to the
Supreme Court, those words are hold on

996
01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:15.800
Well. The main word is woman, which is ironic because I remember a

997
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.720
bunch of people asking what is a
woman? I saw that on Twitter somewhere

998
01:21:20.159 --> 01:21:25.039
well up in Canada. According to
the Supreme Court, the decision says that

999
01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:31.520
the word woman is confusing and unfortunate, and it also talks about variations of

1000
01:21:31.680 --> 01:21:39.800
it, utilizing different identifiers and different
descriptions and or definitions that have been used

1001
01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:46.039
to describe what the word woman means. The popular one is adult human female

1002
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:54.079
seems pretty adequate, right, A
good way? Well, no, yes,

1003
01:21:54.159 --> 01:21:58.319
According to Canadian Supreme Court Justice Sheila
Martin, who wrote the uh,

1004
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:08.720
I guess the majority of opinion.
This was involving a sexual assault case that

1005
01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:12.720
had been going on for about seven
years. The case involves a sexual assault

1006
01:22:12.800 --> 01:22:17.000
allegation made by a woman against Charles
Kruck, whoever that is. I don't

1007
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:21.159
know. Kruck is basically and the
thing is says Kruck took an intoxicated woman

1008
01:22:21.239 --> 01:22:26.520
home, ostensibly to call her family, but when she passed out, she

1009
01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:29.960
woke up to find that he was
he had taken her pants off, you

1010
01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:35.119
know, just it's just general horribleness. That's the summary of the case.

1011
01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:42.840
But the context you can understand what
happened is the defense by Kruck was on

1012
01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:46.840
the grounds, you know, I
can't even get into too much of it.

1013
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:59.319
They were arguing over whether he had
actually gone further and initiated intercourse by

1014
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.119
via entry. All right, So
that's what this was about. So it

1015
01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:08.680
is in this case that is dealing
with a serious allegation of a serious crime,

1016
01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:15.239
this situation, this experience that this
woman had, whether in fact when

1017
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:17.840
she woke up as she described,
if in fact that's what Kruck was doing,

1018
01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:28.359
and whether he's guilty. And then
it just got weird. I don't

1019
01:23:28.359 --> 01:23:32.560
know how to read the quote.
Oh okay, well, here's here's how

1020
01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:36.800
I can say it. She described
the experience, and she did so not

1021
01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:43.680
just with what she saw, but
what she felt. And that's what the

1022
01:23:43.800 --> 01:23:53.800
lawyer's challenging because the statement she made
was this is I felt this happening.

1023
01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:57.119
And then the lawyer pushed back and
go, well, how did you know

1024
01:23:57.239 --> 01:24:00.319
if you said you just felt but
you didn't see the actual And this is

1025
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:03.760
how dice this lawyer was getting and
she said, I'm a woman, and

1026
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:08.960
I wouldn't be mistaken about that feeling. I felt it so many times.

1027
01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:12.920
Essentially, that's that they're challenging.
The Supreme Court agreed, simply saying that

1028
01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:16.359
you're a woman, so that you
would understand that feeling, which I'll never

1029
01:24:16.479 --> 01:24:24.359
understand, right, but women women
understand women obviously who uh, who have

1030
01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:27.680
engaged in activity, right, they're
gonna have They're gonna have some base there.

1031
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.640
But according to the Court, simply
saying I'm a woman, therefore I

1032
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:33.800
have this. Therefore I've experienced this, so therefore I know what that feeling

1033
01:24:33.920 --> 01:24:40.159
is. Is like if if I
went if I walked up behind Ross and

1034
01:24:40.359 --> 01:24:43.159
flicked him in the back of the
year, he didn't see it, but

1035
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:46.359
he just felt it. Ross,
would you know that I flicked you in

1036
01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:51.279
the back of the year? Of
course you would? And why because you

1037
01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:55.199
have ears and you probably somebody flicked
you in the back of the year before

1038
01:24:56.640 --> 01:25:00.800
school, sibling whatever, like like
we do we do that because we can

1039
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:03.640
feel when you're touching parts of our
bodies. So like, again, there's

1040
01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:08.079
there's a lot of really really sick
lawyering. But then to get the Supreme

1041
01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:11.039
court to go. Well, you
know, woman, that's a very confusing

1042
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:15.520
phrase. That's just that's pete Canadian
insanity, at least for this week.

1043
01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:21.239
Meanwhile, down south, let's head
to west Point, shall we? West

1044
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:30.119
Point Military Academy. This would of
course be the Army. They have a

1045
01:25:30.359 --> 01:25:33.760
motto, and they have a mission
statement, and in the mission statement is

1046
01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:38.920
the motto. And if you don't
know, the motto, though not always

1047
01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:44.600
as they point out it, but
the current motto, and the one that's

1048
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:49.399
been there for most of my lifetime
is duty on our country. Okay,

1049
01:25:50.039 --> 01:25:55.920
and that was in the mission statement, which is longer than that, but

1050
01:25:56.159 --> 01:26:02.000
that is a part of it.
And unfortunately they feel like that may not

1051
01:26:02.239 --> 01:26:08.479
be the best thing to include in
the mission statement. So they're making a

1052
01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:14.239
change. Yep, that's right.
Here we go. The US Military Academy

1053
01:26:14.279 --> 01:26:19.920
at West Point has made the decision
to remove duty, honor Country from their

1054
01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:28.159
mission statement. Now the motto for
the school is that. And according to

1055
01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:36.880
this superintendent was Steve Gilly, who's
the superintendent, Lieutenant General gilland he said,

1056
01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:40.720
don't worry, it will still be
the motto. We're just changing.

1057
01:26:41.199 --> 01:26:44.399
We're just changing the mission statement and
removing it. Well, excuse me if

1058
01:26:44.399 --> 01:26:46.960
I don't believe you, because what
they changed it to rather than duty,

1059
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:53.520
honor country, And let me read
this to you so you hear it in

1060
01:26:53.640 --> 01:27:00.880
context. Let's see. Sorry,
working off two different stories here, Okay,

1061
01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:10.479
yeah, loyalty Okay, here we
go. Despite removing the phrase from

1062
01:27:10.479 --> 01:27:15.159
the mission statement, Gillan said honor
duty country still reflects the various actions of

1063
01:27:15.199 --> 01:27:18.840
the cadets and soldiers, such as
loyalty, bearing true faith, and allegiance

1064
01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:23.920
to the US Constitution, but he
says that those are inherent army values.

1065
01:27:24.039 --> 01:27:30.520
So rather than in their mission statements
saying honor duty or duty honor country,

1066
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:35.800
they replaced it with army values,
saying, well, obviously everyone knows that

1067
01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:39.960
army values are duty, honor country, so we don't have to say it.

1068
01:27:40.600 --> 01:27:44.439
Well, no I would. I'm
gonna push back just a little,

1069
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:47.520
and you guys call it. Correct
me if if I'm wrong here in the

1070
01:27:47.560 --> 01:27:53.119
last segment, or you can email
or whatever. When you say values of

1071
01:27:53.159 --> 01:28:00.880
an institution, there are historical values, but also there are today's values.

1072
01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:09.479
Okay, do you think the values
of the US Army are the same,

1073
01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:15.760
not from a historical perspective, but
from a right now under Joe Biden as

1074
01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:20.760
they are under Donald Trump. I
don't think so. I think the core

1075
01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:26.800
foundational stuff like duty on your honor
country should be but saying that it's not

1076
01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:30.720
inclusive enough and the argument meaning that
it should specify army and there are a

1077
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.840
lot more values. Okay, well, then add more values. But it

1078
01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:40.359
is literally the motto and you're changing
it. I feel like the values,

1079
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:47.239
especially in a political environment, which
unfortunately the military becomes, it reflects the

1080
01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:53.399
values of whoever's running it. Like
almost any organization. It could be the

1081
01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:56.399
value that you could work for a
great parent company, but if you're at

1082
01:28:56.399 --> 01:29:02.319
a local office or franchise and management
sucks, well, their values are kind

1083
01:29:02.359 --> 01:29:05.680
of ruling the roost there. So
that's what I'm driving at. And then

1084
01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:10.880
the funniest thing too, is,
uh, there's some he's marine because he

1085
01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:14.239
wrote semper five at the end,
and I just love how they never stopped.

1086
01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:17.960
Nobody ever stops clowning on anybody,
he said. He said, Now,

1087
01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:23.399
the real reason they removed it is
because the words were had more than

1088
01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:27.560
one syllable, and nobody from the
army to what they meant. And then

1089
01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:31.119
he wrote semper five. Oh,
you guys just don't take a day off.

1090
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:35.319
So yeah, that's the skinny on
that. Let's get rased agic for

1091
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:41.079
the skinny on the weather. Yeah
yeah, let's do that. What do

1092
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:45.239
you got? Yeah, real good
stuff. Next few days above average temperatures.

1093
01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:48.479
The perspective for everybody is typically this
time of year, the highs are

1094
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:53.239
in the upper fifties and low sixties. So now we're upper seventies, low

1095
01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:57.560
eighties, so that's about twenty degrees
above normal. Enjoyed. It will come

1096
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:00.199
to an end, but not today. Lots of sunshine, not increasing clouds,

1097
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:04.600
gusty southwest breeze. That'll be tomorrow
night where we'll get a front through

1098
01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:08.479
with some shower stutter showers, and
I think it could be seven or eight

1099
01:30:08.479 --> 01:30:12.000
o'clock a little bit earlier in the
Triad and areas to the west of that,

1100
01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:15.199
so they'll come in from the west, and the shower stuttererstorms will be

1101
01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:17.760
with us. Nothing wisememb We're not
expecting severe like we're seeing now just south

1102
01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:21.880
of Chicago. Then we cool off
only a little load to mid seventies for

1103
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:26.920
Saturday Sunday, maybe pushing back to
the upper seventies and mostly Sunnay both days,

1104
01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:30.439
including Sunday Saint Patrick's Day. The
next frontay command will cool off maybe

1105
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:34.520
more seasonable temperatures. Next week could
have a couple of nights down or even

1106
01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:40.800
below freezing, so some chillier air
casey on the way for at least the

1107
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:44.039
early part of next week. Okay, thank you sir, having go on

1108
01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:46.840
talk to you tomorrow and Jeff Ellinger's
next hang on. Well morning, k

1109
01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:50.199
you see, this is the biggest
day of the week for economic data.

1110
01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:56.359
The latest numbers in from Washington show
there was a bigger than expected increase and

1111
01:30:56.479 --> 01:31:00.840
wholesale level inflation last month. The
government says the producer price index rows six

1112
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:06.439
tenths percent in February. Retail sales
were also up six tens percent last month,

1113
01:31:06.479 --> 01:31:10.279
but that number is a little lighter
than expected. When it comes to

1114
01:31:10.399 --> 01:31:15.239
sales, the number of workers signing
up for unemployment benefits fell by one thousand

1115
01:31:15.279 --> 01:31:19.159
to two hundred nine thousand. Economists
say the data are not likely to suggest

1116
01:31:19.199 --> 01:31:24.239
to the Fed that it's safe to
start cutting interest rates. And one other

1117
01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:30.439
development with the future of TikTok being
decided on Capitol Hill, former Treasury Secretary

1118
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:34.800
Stephen Minouchin told CNBC this morning he
is putting together a group to try to

1119
01:31:34.880 --> 01:31:39.560
buy TikTok, so stay tuned for
that. In casey, this report was

1120
01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:43.720
sponsored in part by Total Wine.
Okay, all right. By the way,

1121
01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:45.439
do you see one of the other
people he named is the activision guy

1122
01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:50.279
Codis, So they'll put TikTok in
six months with that lunatic in there.

1123
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:54.000
All right. I don't want to
drag you into that, all right,

1124
01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:59.000
enjoy your Total Wine is are you
drinking reports this week? No, that's

1125
01:31:59.039 --> 01:32:02.159
not allowed. All right, thank
you appreciate, Okay, take care.

1126
01:32:02.439 --> 01:32:08.039
That'd be amazing, ross, wouldn't
it if like the entire Bloomberg business reporters

1127
01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:12.000
are all doing the Total Wine endorsement
and they also have to drink all morning?

1128
01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:15.680
Oh? I couldn't wait for that
report. All right. Let's uh

1129
01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:20.199
let's grab a call here on the
West Point. Okay, uh, well,

1130
01:32:20.279 --> 01:32:25.359
let's talk to gentlemen from Liberty.
Uh will how are you doing this

1131
01:32:25.479 --> 01:32:30.079
morning? Hey morning, Casey.
I actually saw the news story that you

1132
01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:33.880
reported on with regard to West Point
yesterday and at first kind of kind of

1133
01:32:33.880 --> 01:32:36.640
the same way. Also, want
to be very careful that I don't violate

1134
01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:42.119
any Department Offense instructions with regard to
politically. Oh yeah, I should tell

1135
01:32:42.199 --> 01:32:45.359
people you are when I say at
liberty you are. Actually I didn't put

1136
01:32:45.359 --> 01:32:47.239
your rank because I don't know if
you want it out there, but your

1137
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:51.560
active duty just so folks know.
So, yeah, so I appreciate that.

1138
01:32:53.640 --> 01:32:56.680
And again what I'm I'm looking here
is to add a little contact.

1139
01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:00.279
So when they said, hey,
we've we've pulled duty on our cunt out

1140
01:33:00.319 --> 01:33:03.079
of a mission statement and we replaced
it with the Army values that they embody,

1141
01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:09.479
the Army values. So there are
seven Army values that the same seven

1142
01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:12.239
Army values for the entire time that
I've been on active duty, and they

1143
01:33:12.279 --> 01:33:17.800
are loyalty, duty, the respect, selfless service, honor, integrity,

1144
01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.880
and personal courage. So when you
say, hey, we removed duty honor

1145
01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:26.520
country from the mission statement and we
replaced it with the Army values. Uh,

1146
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:30.479
those seven Army values, I would
say very much encompass duty, honor

1147
01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:34.600
country, and obviously West Points motto
still remains on their their crest and their

1148
01:33:34.640 --> 01:33:41.399
shields country. I thought it was
important point that out because yeah, yeah,

1149
01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:46.560
so context, I think I think
there's always what's that. Do you

1150
01:33:46.640 --> 01:33:50.960
think it works? Do you think
it works? Do you think values works

1151
01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:56.359
versus well, I think Army values
have existed. And when you start looking

1152
01:33:56.359 --> 01:33:59.439
at those seven Army values and you
look to embody them, I think that

1153
01:33:59.560 --> 01:34:02.960
that's that's very it's very doable,
it's very it's something that's trained throughout the

1154
01:34:03.079 --> 01:34:08.279
force. UH. It's emblematic of
who we are. At the same time,

1155
01:34:09.279 --> 01:34:12.680
I understand when anyone sees like a
mission statement change or things of that

1156
01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:15.319
nature, that, especially in our
political climate, it can engender, it

1157
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:19.319
can start to cause worry on both
sides of the political aisle. UH.

1158
01:34:19.479 --> 01:34:25.119
So it's not something that shouldn't that
should be overlooked. But also, having

1159
01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:28.159
been in the Army for for a
hot minute, I will tell you that

1160
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:34.000
that mission statements and focuses UH change
quite often with regard not only to the

1161
01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:40.039
politics UH and and what is being
driven from the top, but also just

1162
01:34:40.199 --> 01:34:44.279
the understanding that that, hey,
we need to we need to reemphasize certain

1163
01:34:44.359 --> 01:34:45.920
areas, we need to take a
different approach because this is working, this

1164
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:49.199
is not working. And that that's
true for almost every single major command in

1165
01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:50.119
the United States Army
