WEBVTT 1 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.560 All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. And I'm just wondering. 2 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.920 So if you remember yesterday I was in this first segment, I did that 3 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:43.479 thing that our brain does sometimes for You're like, oh, why do I 4 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.439 think it's this day when it's only this day? And for whatever reason, 5 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:51.200 I only seems to work. It's kind of like mistakes in the media. 6 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:57.719 It all seems to go in one direction. So like it would be awesome 7 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.000 if like to compensate every now and then. It was like if I rolled 8 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.159 in on a Friday, Ross, and I'm like, hey, welcome, 9 00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.200 happy Thursday, and You're like, dude, it's Friday. Like then I'd 10 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.480 be happy. I was wrong. But it only ever goes in the other 11 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.200 direction. So but do we just if we want to keep with it, 12 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:19.239 we'll we'll just pretend it's Friday. So and then once you do it once 13 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.599 and you like tell yourself. And then I literally did it again later in 14 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.280 the day. I was sitting there. I was sitting there, Ross, 15 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:34.000 and I'm like, uh, oh, sorry, all right, thank you. 16 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.719 How did my phone sound get on? I must have just the way 17 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.640 I closed the case or whatever. I honestly, when I get when I 18 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.319 get a phone. The one thing I don't know is if it makes noise 19 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.239 because I never turned the ring or notifications on. I know the alarms work 20 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.640 on it, and I trust the other stuff does. But you know, 21 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.319 it's like twenty years ago, we were so excited about how we could buy 22 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:07.200 ring tones tone in the old Nokia phones. You purchased the ring tones, 23 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.840 and it was so excited. And now for like the last three years, 24 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.919 my phone has been on silent. Yeah yeah, yeah, well, and 25 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.039 and what I like is you and I we have an excuse because it's somebody. 26 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.759 I'm like, oh, it sounds never on. Some people think that's 27 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.919 weird because they're like addicted. That's their form of interaction, right, you 28 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.199 know, where we crave interaction of a digital variety and and you know, 29 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.199 and obviously a phone is good for that. But then I'm like, yeah, 30 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.360 I'm in radio. I'm always in a studio. And that seems to 31 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.360 alleviate it and underlie the fact that I don't want people calling me like when 32 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.280 I'm ready to look at my stuff, I'll look. And the only the 33 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:53.520 only exception is although I'm very paranoid about the setting, because like I'll get 34 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.919 comfortable with Apple settings on stuff, and then they'll do an update, and 35 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.199 like in this last update it jacked with my alarm on my phone but not 36 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:06.439 my iPad and that stuff just gives me the chills there. But I do 37 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.199 have a thing carved in there. If I choose, you know, you 38 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.240 can put on you can like literally put on this. This do not disturb 39 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.840 except the only people who can make your phone ring. And there's two of 40 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.800 Ross's one of them and then another person in the radio. But now I'm 41 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.680 all paranoid because the last update it's screwed. It like changed something on the 42 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:31.240 alarm and so it went off of my iPad but not my iPhone. So 43 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.080 I don't know. Man, I've got to keep my phone as silent. 44 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.680 The radio thing too. But also because of Lincoln's autism, like right, 45 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.639 random text tones or phone you know tones will cause like an epic meltdown, 46 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.840 like if if you were to meet him right now, right if you were 47 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.800 here, the first thing you do is probably comment on your shoes, and 48 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.639 then you ask if your phone is in silent because it causes like a major 49 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.599 issues, like so bad he has to check. He probably checks my phone 50 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.479 to see but silently twenty times a day. I mean, I wouldn't mind 51 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.080 that because look at what just happened to me right right? I need I 52 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.120 need a phone monitor? Like does uh does he need a part time gig? 53 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.599 He can just he can go hey, hey, hey, well oh 54 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.199 dude, your phone's on. What are you doing. I'm like, oh, 55 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.480 I'm an idiot, So yeah, I could. I'd be okay with 56 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.759 that. So what was I gonna say? I was just gonna go over 57 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:31.480 into something. But then I ah, here we go, dude. That 58 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:38.879 that U a w the United Autoworkers thing yesterday with Biden. I I tend 59 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:44.279 to ignore some of this stuff, man, because like here's what I battle 60 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.600 with. People say the wrong words sometimes, all right, and it doesn't 61 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:58.519 mean they're insane or cognitively impaired or any of those things. Like you know, 62 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.439 we made a whole joke out of anytime New Hampshire's primary rolls around because 63 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.600 like one time, what probably eight years ago, I said Gobbler's knob instead 64 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.879 of whatever the hell it is. I can't don't even having it from me, 65 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.839 n See, in my brain it's Gobbler's knob, But Gobbler's knob just 66 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.160 because I think it's Dixville, Notch right there. It's kind of a funny 67 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.480 sounding thing, right, and it sounds very New England y. Although I 68 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.160 was told there's a Gobbler's knob here in North Carolina, but it's unofficial. 69 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:36.480 So oh, okay, there's one out in there's uh, there's well, 70 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.879 there's one that I know of out in Wyoming. But it's literally a mountain 71 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.920 so or a semi mountain. So I like my brain, I got that 72 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.720 back and forth. But then I'm like, it's funnier that way. So 73 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.160 maybe that's what Biden needs to do is lean into it. So when he 74 00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:00.519 says stuff like this, because of you, Toyota boatswag an sound oh gay, 75 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.839 their workers double digit raises? All right, now here's the deal. 76 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.759 All right, Obviously he means tesla, and you can joke he didn't say 77 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.240 it because you don't irritate donors or any of the rest of it. But 78 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.560 I think there's something inherently funny if you can step back from the obvious beef 79 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.920 that the Biden administration has with Elon Musk, and whether you think it was 80 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.040 he meant to do that or just step away, you know how hard it 81 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.120 would be to sell a Tulsa. Wasn't there a truck that wasn't there? 82 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.240 One of the truck companies had a Tulsa model, Am I am? I 83 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.600 am? I misremembering that. I can't remember, but I think it was 84 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:43.079 like a regional upgrades package or something. I'd have to I'd have to look. 85 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.879 But like nobody would buy a Tulsa. And I'm not picking on Tulsa. 86 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.319 I kind of am frost. You get excited when you hear a tull 87 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.839 Hey, man, you guys are car car shot. You guys got what 88 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.040 what was it, Mitsubishi or something? I can't Mazda? Yeah, I 89 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.800 knew it was one of the m's. Did you guys even shop with Tulsa's 90 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.920 No, we did not no a price range? Oh well, how do 91 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.800 you know? I mean, Tulsa's a pretty you know, it's uh, 92 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.000 it's it's definitely doesn't have the you know, the the uh the inherent wealth 93 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.360 at North Carolina scene right now, right like rents are a lot cheaper things 94 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:26.920 like that. So I don't know, maybe, but also, how would 95 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.600 you get excited about a Tulsa unless you unless you're from Tulsa, then you're 96 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.800 probably pretty stoked. Man. You ever, Benda, did you ever go 97 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.639 to Tulsa? You were in Omaha, you weren't that far away. Never 98 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.040 have I've seen it a bunch on the what is it the first forty eight 99 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.560 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, they investigate homicides and 100 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.959 they have like forty eight hours to solve it or whatever, like, well, 101 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.199 Tulsa's got a crazy history obviously, right, obviously, you know they're 102 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:05.160 dealing with what There are several several of our most dangerous cities here in America, 103 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.079 just by crime numbers, do not lie on the East coast. You 104 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.160 know, Memphis. Memphis is way up there, obviously. You know, 105 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.480 people think of Chicago, but like Saint Louis, holy crap. Yeah. 106 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.439 And the other thing that is famous for is sticks from My Patrol Live. 107 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.439 One of the co hosts, oh is he from Tulsa? Yeah? Ah, 108 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:31.680 okay. Well there's another thing, the you know, the Black Wall 109 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.120 Street thing that's you know that that's there. And of course there's all of 110 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.840 the Native American history and a lot of it not so good, you know 111 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.600 what. Yeah, you know what movie I did watch though, over the 112 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.799 weekend, I watched the that DiCaprio movies three and a half hours. I'm 113 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.080 gonna let you know, three and a half hours had some time to kill. 114 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.519 Yeah, there's a big thing. It was so long. They wanted 115 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.159 to put like an intermission in and the director or whatever said, hey, 116 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.080 you can't do that. They did not want an intermission. They tried to 117 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.840 sue the movie theater company that was doing it. Yeah, yeah, look 118 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.840 it's three and a half hours. I don't I did not. It's not 119 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.200 it's not woke preachy. I saw some people saying it that they the characters 120 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.879 in and of themselves are hollywoodized, But what was going on there was not. 121 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.879 The problem has got DeNiro in it? And ah, so many of 122 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.039 my favorite movies have de Niro in them, Like like, I don't. 123 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.399 I I couldn't conceptually walk away and go I'm never watching anything with de Niro 124 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.360 in it. And and by the way, I own all all of the 125 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.720 ones I'm thinking of in my head, so I you know, and they're 126 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.600 digital, so I couldn't even earn them. I guess. So he is 127 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.360 in that, but uh, he's I I reconciled it with what a piece 128 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.679 of garbage he isn't it? So I like movies like I thought it was 129 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.399 pretty good, but it's three and a half hours, man, and uh 130 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.039 it's it's talking about not about Tulsa specifically, but what was going on and 131 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.120 really when the government decided, hey, we're gonna move all these tribes out 132 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.240 and O Sage was among them, and the Osage just happened to get on 133 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.159 land where like oil started pouring out of it, and it created this whole 134 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.159 situation that I remember learning about this in school, but I suspect it probably 135 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.120 wasn't taught in the southern US because it's very niche. It was. You 136 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.559 had that, you had land runs, and you had all of this, 137 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.399 but you also had a bunch of people realize that once the oil stuff started 138 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.480 to pick up, how badly they screwed up. And this whole mechanism developed 139 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:58.639 to go ahead and create legal documents and marriages and all this stuff to essentially 140 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.240 put yourself in line to have these rights that were bestowed upon the various O 141 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.960 Sage tribal members. And you know, and you weren't in it for love, 142 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.759 and you might have been in it for murder. And that's the thing 143 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.919 because remember on this show, I want history Toad good or bad. My 144 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.000 understanding of the situation, having again learned about it and then read a lot 145 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.320 more about it, kind of while I was watching the movie. Is the 146 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:39.679 movie kind of tracks right? So this is it is a really tough piece 147 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:46.200 of history. It is Hollywood exaggerated to some extent. But yeah, give 148 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.519 that there. I just recommended a movie if you got three and a half 149 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.799 hours to kill so but yeah, do you remember that? It was one 150 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.399 of the big chains was like, we got to do an intermission because everyone 151 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.440 needs to and they're like, you can't do that to my book of aught 152 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.799 says right here, which I you know, I don't know if you're in 153 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.000 a movie theater, sure, but you know, hit pause. It took 154 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.279 me like five hours to watch it because I kept I paused and got somebody 155 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.519 to eat and it was but whatever, all right, that's not how we're 156 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.080 here to talk about. We're talking about Joe Biden, the UAW, not 157 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:31.879 the Tulsa. Maybe someone should start a company. But yeah, that was 158 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.440 just one thing. It got weirder from there or including there, And what 159 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.879 was even weirder about that whole thing was not even Joe Biden, but rather 160 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:52.080 the one of the UAW officials acknowledging the fact that the majority of their members 161 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.320 likely support Trump, and then coming out and uh, you know, full 162 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:05.799 force endorsement of Biden. Witch like, why would you why why if if 163 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.759 that's if that is the uh if that's and and and you're endorsing somebody who's 164 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:16.720 also of the opinion that your product shouldn't exist to the extent that it does 165 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:24.360 and not in its current form. That's crazy to me. But that's politics, 166 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.080 man, So we'll get into that. We're starting to. So they 167 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.759 there was some audio floating around yesterday. It's actually from December. I remember 168 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.279 seeing it. We didn't play it, but there is an update, a 169 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.759 little, uh little update as we're almost done with the month of January as 170 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.559 to how things are going Philly. Uh. This the city of Philadelphia. 171 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.080 They had a massive summit, brought in a bunch of quote stakeholders, you 172 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.960 know these blue ribbon panels, and they came up with a plan, man, 173 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.200 came up with a plan to solve the problems that Philly deals with, 174 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.840 which you know, it's more of the crime stuff. It's obviously a huge 175 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.960 concern for its citizens. And they got a host of new politicians, a 176 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.399 lot of smart people. According to them, they'll tell you how smart they 177 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:22.080 are and they put a plan together. And I am not a violent city 178 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.000 turnaround expert, like I don't have a degree in that. I don't nothing. 179 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.639 Ross Have I ever turned around to crime spree in a major US city? 180 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.799 Can you check? By really? No? Check? No? You 181 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.080 have not? I have not. Okay, I've I mean I've sat in 182 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.519 a large city in multiple cities like I am now and encourage people not to 183 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.679 go out and be criminal dirt bags. But have I actively turned no. 184 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.080 So with that caveat, I still think I'm more right than these nitwits. 185 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.000 But we'll let you be the judge. And the craziness that is this carry 186 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:07.759 Lake story with receipts, and I'm not I'm not surprised. I think this 187 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.080 goes on a lot more than you think, and it and it and it, 188 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.080 and it has famously gone on in politics for a long time. In 189 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.240 fact, if you watch the movie Lincoln, you're seeing a version of that. 190 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.279 That was that that that's fact, that's history. Lincoln wrote about it, 191 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.759 and of course it was documented in that movie with Daniel d Lewis. 192 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.679 So AnyWho we will uh, we'll get if you're not familiar with that. 193 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.840 Hold on, we got tons of audio for you, all sorts of good 194 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.919 stuff. But uh, let's see here eight eight eight nine three four seven 195 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.320 eight seven forritralized. I've rambled so long, I'm gonna take this up to 196 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.399 the drop dead. Yeah.

So generally, I mean, we do a lot of 199 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.879 stories about Hollywood, Woe Hollywood, the nerdy stuff that we enjoy and we 200 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.759 hope we will enjoy when Hollywood, Hollywood gets done with it.

Better show after the show is on 208 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.360 the iHeart radio app. Search case o Day for the podcast on the iHeart 209 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:59.799 radio app. I'll tell you the story I'm really looking forward to. And 210 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.480 Ross and I talked about it off the year the other day and I made 211 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.079 the decision that I'd save it for when Stephen Kent since it's you know, 212 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:15.279 you got at Hollywood kick to it. But I'm so excited. Is the 213 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.720 Oscar no hold On, hold On, hold On, don't go anywhere. 214 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.799 I know, I know it's a the word showing you don't care, but 215 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:33.920 the Oscar nominations and specifically the non nomination in certain categories of certain people in 216 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.759 certain movies, but the nomination of others. So if you don't know. 217 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.400 Obviously, one of the big, big, big movies last year, Bobby 218 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.160 Barbie movie. We discussed it. I told you I actually watched some of 219 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.920 it. I didn't watch the end part, which apparently just gets super Hollywood 220 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:59.519 pathetic messaging, but you know, ultimately it just it was a fine movie. 221 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.079 Going up to that, you know, it was silly, and even 222 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.519 though they were trying to put some stuff in there, as soon as you 223 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.000 make Will Ferrell, who is a hyper political animal. Don't get me wrong, 224 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.759 that dude's very political. I told you when Roy Cooper was running for 225 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.640 governor, I was out tailgating, as you do at the NC State game 226 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.680 because I like tailgates, and we're just standing there, you know, the 227 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.039 group, and all of a sudden we look over and we're like, is 228 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:33.279 that Will Ferrell? And then you see Cooper And then you see a bunch 229 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.720 of like campaign folks because they got matching T shirts and stuff, and they 230 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.240 were going like to the different tailgates. And Will Ferrell literally was out there 231 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:47.920 stumping for Cooper at the NC State outside the stadium, and he kind of 232 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.519 rolled I didn't talk to him, but he kind of rolled over. He 233 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.759 talked to one of the guys from our group a little ways away, and 234 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.160 then they kind of turned over there. And I was surprised because I promised 235 00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.640 you the dude they talked to is not a Roy Cooper fan. But once 236 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.920 you put Will Ferrell in as like the corporate big wig, I have to 237 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.799 process it through. It's Will Ferrell. I can't take it seriously enough for 238 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.559 political reasons, just because it's Will Ferrell. Has Will Ferrell done a serious 239 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:22.559 acting turn. I'm trying to think has he done like, you know, 240 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.039 cause Sandler's done it. Obviously. Jim Carrey did a bunch of it. 241 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:34.559 Robin Williams right making that transition, and and what he didn't good Will hunting 242 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.440 in several other movies. But but I'm trying to think has Will Ferrell ever 243 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.440 done a serious role? I can't think of one. So, but what 244 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:51.759 happened at the Oscars is the nominations came out, and well, let's see 245 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:57.599 the what did they get? They got screenplay that was a thing. Film's 246 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.759 Best Picture nomination would include Margot Robbie because she is a producer, and but 247 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.720 that's Hollywood these days. And yeah, the screenplay got nominated, and the 248 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:15.559 director, Gerwig is co writer of that. However, Margot Robbie did not 249 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:22.319 get nominated for Best Actress. Gerwig did not get nominated for Best Director. 250 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.680 I remember this. The movie is girl Power Girl. And then obviously, 251 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.400 depending on whether you see it as just an entertainment medium or messaging, as 252 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:42.640 so many in the media do, then they really lost their crap because we'll 253 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.759 get into this. Sorry I had to had to scroll down here. They 254 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:55.359 lost their crap because while those two were not nominated, ross anybody else nominated 255 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.640 that you can you can think of there? Yeah, Ryan Gosling was right. 256 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.200 Oh wow, I was seeing a movie Ken. He was in a 257 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.000 movie called Ken. No, no, he was in the Barbie movie as 258 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.839 Ken. Oh wow, yeah that's right it yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 259 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.440 well yeah one of the Kens. I haven't seen it, so I'm 260 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.680 not gonna be one of these people that are like, oh, like you 261 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.519 know, comment and I haven't seen the movie. I'm not I'm even picking. 262 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.119 I'm not picking it apart from an accuracy. It's a Barbie movie, 263 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.839 right, there's Ken and Ken's dream House and all that, right, yeah, 264 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:29.279 yeah, yeah, but obviously there is you know, there's the whole 265 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.240 thing where it's like Barbie just wants to hang out with her friends, and 266 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.880 the you know, Ken's want to be with Barbie. But that's because they're 267 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.079 made to be with Barbie and and and you get all of that, and 268 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.359 then you see like the plot point is the transition where it's like, oh're 269 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.400 gonna go to the real world. Wait a sec U. Look, man, 270 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.599 aren't subjugated to the you know, to the tenth power here. This 271 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.839 feels kind of nice. And then it's you know, the whole over correction 272 00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.079 thing is the plot point. But that's fine, but Gosling getting nominated back 273 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:06.279 here in the real World and Barbie and not and and Greta Gerwig not when 274 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.880 this was this was girl power, this is women can do anything, and 275 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.119 and it was played up that political they lost their crap. Man, dude, 276 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.599 the meltdowns or some of them are just bonkers, and you know what, 277 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.599 I'll tell you what some of them. I am convinced the people reacting 278 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.920 didn't see the movie right. Even I saw a post on X it was 279 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.759 really funny from a guy named Jarvis and he was like, you know, 280 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.480 Ryan Gosling has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever, just to get 281 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:40.160 up there if he wins and congratulate all the dudes responsible for making the movie. 282 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.599 Well, I thank all the Kens. And then a lot of guys 283 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.839 actually made that movie. They're like, oh, I see it's a female 284 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.440 it's girl power. But there's a lot of dudes that were involved in making 285 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.440 that movie different you know, departments, Oh yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, 286 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.680 And what there is another character and I forget what his name was in 287 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.480 there. He had a different name than Ken and which was meant to stand 288 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.759 out. And he's got a supporting role in there. And the dude's kind 289 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.400 of funny, like he's a comedian. I can't remember his name, but 290 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.519 Michael Sirius in there, right, Yeah, Michael Sarah that's who it is. 291 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.599 You know. So if he goes and said, I want to congratulate 292 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.400 the Kens and then Gary or whatever the guy's name was, right, just 293 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.319 completely leave out the women, Oh my gosh, that'd be hilarious. Oh 294 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:26.160 my gosh. But also like if if you're one of these people going apoplectic 295 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:33.759 over this and you feel that the Hollywood, the Hollywood elite both who both 296 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:40.519 nominate and vote for these things, is is still an unfettered hotbed of bigotry, 297 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.079 Yeah, just give it up because you have no chance anywhere else. 298 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.920 What are you? What are you gonna do? Like I understand how you 299 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.920 can't function in normal society. And by the way, it's it is self 300 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.960 serving, right, So that's the other thing here too, Like in some 301 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:03.000 way, shape or form, like I feel they just they couldn't figure out 302 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.759 how they wanted to virtue signal and make their special project. There's always a 303 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:14.000 special virtue signal project every year. Every year we gotta have one, and 304 00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.400 this year it wasn't that. So, you know, sucks for you, 305 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:26.240 I guess, But I I. Some people were upset because DiCaprio didn't get 306 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:32.119 nominated for the movie he was in. But Gosly whatever, let him. 307 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:34.440 Let him fight, you know, it's that it's that god Zilla meme, 308 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:41.799 right, let him fight. But I'm not gonna watch the Oscars, but 309 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.920 I will if he wins. I will absolutely try to go find his speech. 310 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:48.400 Well, that's been the problem with the Oscars for a while, and 311 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.240 all these award shows one they're incredibly self serving and nobody cares anymore. And 312 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.559 like he said, it's all about the virtual virtue signaling right right, and 313 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.559 they like every the best the best picture would always be something you've never heard 314 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.440 of before that involved one of these topics, you know, and it's just 315 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.440 nobody cares anymore. Like remember the moonlight thing? Yeah, the moonlight and 316 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.559 then that moonlight and the problem with moonlight or not, the problem with it 317 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:22.319 is you also had that Call Me by my Name, which was about an 318 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:32.839 adult carrying on some sort of gay love affair with a minor, and like 319 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.960 I like, they couldn't figure out which to virtue, so they pumped them 320 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.039 both up. And then you had that famous screw up with reading it. 321 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.160 Who is that Steve Harvey was Steve who read it wrong? I can't remember, 322 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.640 you know, Steve Harvey read the wrong pageant name. Somebody read it 323 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:52.920 wrong and it was two. But here Barbie didn't. They didn't turn it 324 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.039 into it, which I'm surprised. I thought that was going to be the 325 00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.799 thing. D jure. But don't think that the Hollywood folk who would vote 326 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.799 for this or doing it because they're good people. They're doing it because it 327 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.599 is self serving. Right. They realized that for the protection of their industry 328 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.240 and within their own little weird club where this is this, you know, 329 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.240 this is the stuff they talk about to each other. Oh you, I'll 330 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.279 look at it. Look at how woke I am. Like. They would 331 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.640 do it if they thought that it would benefit them in some way. Yeah, 332 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.680 that's how Jade and I am. And I don't think I'm wrong, 333 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.079 absolutely so, Yeah, Gosling, I mean back in the day, right 334 00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:38.200 you would have movies nominated that people like go back and look what year was 335 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:44.279 it when it was like Forrest Gump and Shaw Shank Redemption right well, and 336 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.160 two other amazing films that year that I can't recall at the moment, but 337 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.519 it just purveson my point. These are movies that people actually enjoy, still 338 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.160 enjoyed this day, right, and that people went to go see. And 339 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.599 then they started giving these awards to the movies. You would see like the 340 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:57.079 Best Picture nominee, and how many of us would see the list and be 341 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.279 like, I've never heard of that movie before. I remember. I remember 342 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.480 on on the air, you and I talking and I looked at it and 343 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.000 I said, I've only seen one of these movies. And this was this 344 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.839 was a few years ago. It might have been it might have been that 345 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.920 year with the Moonlight and all that. I had not seen Moonlight, I 346 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.519 had not seen calling Me by my name, And I can't remember the other 347 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.920 nominees were, but like, yeah, we went through an era there, 348 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.960 and do you remember Hollywood came out and they like kind of said, well, 349 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.680 you know, because what what was it they they wanted to do. 350 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.480 They wanted like a almost like a people's choice thing so that you could recognize 351 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.759 what the peasants. Yeah, yeah, one peasant category. Yeah, they 352 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.279 wanted a peasant category for the unenlightened. Oh oh you went and saw you 353 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.440 know, the whatever movie made it go? You? The Super Mario movie? 354 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.119 Yeah? Growth, right? Or top Gun, right right, top 355 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.799 too, Yeah, yeah, everybody remember it saved the movie industry, right 356 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.559 yeah, yeah Spielberg. You have Spielberg on tape saying that to Tom Cruise 357 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.279 had like a red carpet, like you saved our industry. You saved our 358 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.720 industry. And they're like, I guess when do they get special effects or 359 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.039 something? And it's like, not that, look, not that. I 360 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.319 guess in the grand scheme, it was Tom Cruise given an Oscar worthy perform. 361 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.960 I don't know. That's so out the that's so out the window. 362 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.400 I don't know, but I do know that if you're staying, you know, 363 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.920 it's the water cooler thing. If I'm standing around the water cooler in 364 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.279 the break room at any of our fine iHeart facilities and I want to strike 365 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:41.400 up a conversation with somebody else in the building about movies, chances are Top 366 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.839 Gun's gonna they're gonna be more receptive to that because that's what everyone saw they 367 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.119 didn't see, And then insert whatever the weird movie I've never heard of is, 368 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:55.000 Oh, yeah, I'm trying. There's been some pretty crazy years, 369 00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.400 wasn't uh. The Star Wars year also a thing, And then you go 370 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.240 back Gone with the Wind year was among the ones that have the most that 371 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.039 are considered top one hundred movies. They had like Bridge on the River, 372 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.960 Kwai and a bunch. But yeah, so well, I know, we 373 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.160 just got into it because I want to share the story with you, and 374 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.200 I promise we do the Biden stuff. So we're gonna we'll back into that 375 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.279 and the Philly story and we'll do that coming up on the CaCO day radio 376 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:30.279 program Smart Talk All Day ninety four five w PTI and the Triad and one 377 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:36.759 six one FM Talking in the Triangle. All right, So I'm just I'm 378 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:44.759 thumbing through the various winners and nominees going back, trying to figure out where 379 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:49.319 it all went wrong. I would estimate late nineties. Yeah, you started 380 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.720 to get some glitches and then they just they really leaned into the I'm sorry, 381 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.200 what's the name of that movie? Ian about the mid two thousands? 382 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.359 Oh, and I was rough Moonlight me by my name were different years. 383 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.279 It was Shape of Water, that moon the other one lost to and that 384 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.960 people got upset and the Moonlight I can't remember what they read the wrong thing 385 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.200 with that. So but a lot, you know, comes down to whether 386 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.640 you've seen the movie. Uh now, last Year's Winter. I own this 387 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.319 movie. Uh it's everywhere, everything, everywhere, all at once. I 388 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.119 think, I that's a very interesting movie. But I kind of like some 389 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.839 of the sci fi stuff and h Ross. I'm gonna warn you. Have 390 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.960 you seen that movie? It's got multiverse? I have not, But it's 391 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.000 really not about that, right, It's it's got, it's gotta I mean, 392 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.720 Stanos even in it. What's that is Stanos in it? Uh? 393 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.720 No, he's not, No in this movie. In that movie, Thanos 394 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.119 is a twenty one year old, five foot Asian chick. So, but 395 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.559 I'm not I'm not trying to just just watch the movie if if you're looking 396 00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.599 for something to do. I see that it's streaming on I saw it on 397 00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:03.000 one of the services, but I thought it was entertaining. But yeah, 398 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:04.960 man, you get back into like twenty twenty. The year I was thinking 399 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.519 of when we were sitting here on the air was twenty twenty, and I'm 400 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.839 like, I I think I've seen one of those movies and I haven't heard 401 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.079 of most of the other. Yeah, that's my point, right. You 402 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.200 go back in the nineties and most of these movies were big blockbusters. But 403 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.519 right, pulp fiction, usual suspects, Shawshank, Redemption, Forrest Gump, 404 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.880 Silence of the Lambs, and on and on and on and like. At 405 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.240 some point, I don't know when it was, but it's like then they 406 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.880 started nominating the weird virtue signaling movies or small budget movies that no one had 407 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.039 seen and you know, didn't make that much money at the box office. 408 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:40.799 And I have no idea why that is. They just became too self important. 409 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:44.480 Yeah. In twenty twenty, the winner was No mad Land, one 410 00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:47.880 of your favorites. I'm sure, right right that What the hell is that 411 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.759 movie? Yeah, why don't you tell the audience? That's I have no 412 00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.279 idea what's about? Okay, it's about. It's Francis McDorman, who I 413 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.480 like. I think, I like enjoying movies. She's in, she like 414 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.039 has she has. I can't what the crisis was. I read the synopsis 415 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:06.119 and she decides that she's just gonna go live in a van and drive around 416 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.599 the US. So it's like, I don't know. Maybe it was the 417 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:13.279 embracement of van life that they got excited about. But the other nominees were 418 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:20.359 The Father mank Minahi, Sound of Metal, Trial of the Chicago. I've 419 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.680 seen none of those movies, and I like watching movies now. But then 420 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:25.960 then they wonder, they're like, how come nobody's tuning in anymore? Well, 421 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.279 we don't know what these movies are. Man. They had Judas in 422 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.480 The Black Messiah, which I actually that's the movie I did see, and 423 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.160 it's about the guy who was the undercover dude in the Panthers in the sixties 424 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.400 in Chicago, and I kind of liked movies like that. That one, 425 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:47.279 And then they did one too with the the the black FBI agent who had 426 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.319 infiltrated like the clan in Colorado, which is a true story, by the 427 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.640 way, and it's but he was he was over the phone and then they 428 00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.519 had to send like another white agent to actually meet up. That sends great, 429 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:05.640 Yeah, yeah, he just he he had. The thing was is 430 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.720 he had a very white voice on the phone. And so this dude, 431 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:15.400 who was this big wig you know, uh clans maybe maybe it wasn't clan, 432 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.359 maybe it is. I'm trying to remember, but he's like enamored with 433 00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.079 this dude over the phone, and then they had to figure out what do 434 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.400 you do? So this was before they would put you in there and let 435 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.160 you drop the plans for the kidnapping, and the Michigan governor with their help 436 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.079 and then arrest you. So but yeah, man, I thought that was 437 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:39.039 okay. But as I scrolled back through Titanic in ninety eight one, and 438 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:43.039 then it kind of gets weird. They would they would never nominate Titanic these 439 00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.359 days, they wouldn't happen. Yeah, I've still never seen that movie. 440 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:51.160 Very sad about that, I'm not. Nineties were Dances with Wolves, Silence 441 00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:57.440 of the Lambsays and the Winners, Unforgiven, Shindler's List, Forrest Gump, 442 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.039 Brave Heart right ninety six, the English Patient of Taking or Leave It, 443 00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.440 and then Titanic, and and then we get into Shakespeare in Love and American 444 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.960 Beauty, which is kind of a movie about pedophilia. They get a gladiator 445 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.920 in there, and then it's just off the ram. So but now Barbie 446 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:22.000 didn't get any of their women, director, lead actress nominated. Now, 447 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:29.159 whether it be an oscar So white hashtag oscar So patriarchy, looking forward to 448 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:42.480 that and there's more to this story. Hang on, all right, Good 449 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:47.280 morning, seven oh six Here on the case O Day Radio Program, Hour 450 00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.800 number two coming up one hour from now, we'll get into I know we're 451 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.679 already putting some Hollywood discussion, but it will cross. It'll cross into politics 452 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.000 here very quickly. I want to listeners send it the email because we're kind 453 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.960 of like when did when did? Because there's been some big changes in all 454 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:10.199 of this. Like I made the reference to the hashtag Oscar so patriarchy because 455 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:14.719 you had Oscar so black a few years ago and they were tripping all over 456 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:19.440 themselves to do something which is now. Why if you make a movie and 457 00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:25.079 you don't check diverse literal diversity boxes and they're weighted depending on, you know, 458 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:32.000 the job within the movie, Like is the director one of the approved 459 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:38.239 minorities? How about the staff? There's location stuff and they're doing that, 460 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:45.519 and it's why remember the audio we played to the director and the producer of 461 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:52.320 that movie about fifth Denmark and like the sixteen hundreds where the reporters like, 462 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.079 why it's not very diverse, and he's like, record, we literally looked 463 00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:04.800 at records of where this was set and they because they did census and they 464 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:09.639 had identified one person who is literally represented in the movie, who was would 465 00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:15.679 be defined as a quote person of color these days because it's Denmark in forever 466 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.000 ago. And the reason he was asking him that question is a reporter, 467 00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:22.960 was he was trying to get the guy's goat because he's not Oscar eligible for 468 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.360 his movie. He thought that that would you know, that would be how 469 00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.480 you'd get him, which shows you just what garbage you're dealing with with a 470 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:35.280 lot of the media there who are quote entertainment media, and this is where 471 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:39.119 they go. But Emailers said, do you remember with the hurt Locker avatar 472 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:44.320 thing? Yeah, a little bit, but you know that was a product 473 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.840 of the era. So hurt Locker won the year after Titanic, No, 474 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.159 two years after Tite No, No, I'm sorry, quite a ways after. 475 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.920 I'm sorry, I'm looking at the wrong list here. Yeah, two 476 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:00.960 thousand and nine, so it would be in two thousand and eight. You 477 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.280 remember what was going on in two thousand and eight into nine. That was 478 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.599 the we were transitioning from George Bush and all things Middle East related to Barack 479 00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:15.559 Obama, who would soon win the Nobel Peace Prize. Because because and so 480 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:23.440 like people were upset and I don't know why, because like the herd Locker 481 00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:28.800 is not I didn't get the I didn't get the vibe. They were like, 482 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.039 man, this is awesome all the time. It's just awesome. Everything's 483 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.880 awesome all the time. But it beat Avatar too, And so like James 484 00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:39.039 Cameron's got some sway. But like her Locker was a good movie. But 485 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:45.280 it's not a happy movie, right, It's not a it's not one you 486 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:51.239 walked out of feeling like ah, just that just made MI day because it's 487 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:59.480 dealing with some really serious stuff. But that was that was too much for 488 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.239 people. But I think it was Bush connected, Uh really really in that 489 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:05.840 ross you saw her lock remisode. Yeah, I think that the female director 490 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.320 to a thing. I don't know. I think you're right. Yeah, 491 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.599 yeah, yeah, very relatable, right because not not to say every soldier 492 00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.920 right is like an expert or like the Will hunting of disarming bombs Jeremy Runner 493 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.800 in that movie. But a lot of people came back and did have PTSD 494 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.800 or we knew somebody who had PTSD because of it. I told you just 495 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:28.719 my friend who who led police on a chase. He was he was so 496 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:34.199 he was so messed up by his experience over there that uh he just he 497 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.880 was in his car driving from Buffalo to Sheridan and police lit him up, 498 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:45.599 and in his mind he went straight flashback. Dude, he thought he I 499 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.519 and like and they believed him, by the way too. It was one 500 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:53.079 of these things, like the police believed him and it just and it was 501 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.800 I had I you know, I grew up with it was in my grade 502 00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.880 and uh, I remember all I ever wanted to do was being and that's 503 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.440 what he did. And he went over and he served a bunch of tours 504 00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.639 and but it really was hard. And I've talked to him once since then, 505 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.119 but you know, some friends give me updates and it was a long 506 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.320 road man. But he's doing a lot better. But my dad had horrible 507 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.880 flashbacks I've heard coming back from Vietnam. I never actually experienced them, but 508 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.440 I've heard stories from family, like when he first got back from Vietnam, 509 00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.000 Like I'm talking about, like a few days later, my aunt woke him 510 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.280 up while he was sleeping on the couch and he choked my aunt like he 511 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.480 freaked out, like it was it was bad. And this is, by 512 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:36.719 the way, correct me if I'm wrong. This was a guy who had 513 00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.920 just suffered a lot of really severe injuries too, right, was that is 514 00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:45.519 in that realm or did he how many three three purple hearts, three purple 515 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.000 hearts. Yeah, So, I mean it was The point I'm making is 516 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.800 that he was in the He was in it. You know what I'm saying. 517 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.119 He went through the tet offensive. So yeah, yeah, yeah, 518 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:58.320 yeah yeah. And and by the way, I'm not it's not meant to 519 00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:04.800 necessarily things, but the things that he's going to dwell upon your father or 520 00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:08.920 render in this movie or others who have had very traumatic experiences there, I 521 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:14.440 mean, I understand. And uh, with Owen, I think that's that 522 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.400 was his name, Owen. There is his name with Owen. That kid 523 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:21.760 had a really rough childhood. He had some horrible parents, end up foster 524 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.840 care, the stuff they used to do to him. But he really got 525 00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:30.480 squared away in the Marines and was doing well. And I want to say 526 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:35.280 that, like he had five friends killed within a very short period. And 527 00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.039 uh, I don't know the whole story, so I don't want to give 528 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:44.360 it an accurate but when it was when it was explained to me the list 529 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:49.000 there, I'm like, I get it, I absolutely get it. But 530 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:54.320 I think that was born on bush and you know that that anyone would complain 531 00:40:54.360 --> 00:41:00.519 about it. But the reason I bring this back is so following this guess 532 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.599 who decided to reach out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, who is the 533 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:14.239 director of the Barbie movie. Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, who, in 534 00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.719 one tweet writes Greta and Margo, while it can sting to win, while 535 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:21.000 it can sting to win the box office, but not take home the gold, 536 00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.159 your millions of fans love. What is Hillary? Why is Hillary Clinton 537 00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:28.599 sending a Oh, I trust me, I understand she did get nominated, 538 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.559 right, Am I wrong? Here? I can check. I'm pretty sure 539 00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:39.000 she did get nominated. So like, that's not straight up And that's why 540 00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:43.079 the year that Jarvis do is clowning on her too, Which was really funny 541 00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:47.480 because of the Hillary connection there, because if you remember, Hillary famously sent 542 00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:53.519 that tweet ahead of the last election or the election she lost to Trump on 543 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:55.960 her birthday and it was a picture of like eight year old to her and 544 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:02.719 it said happy birthday, this future president and that'll live in infamy. So 545 00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.239 that's uh, well, anyway, I dwelled. Let me get back to 546 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:13.480 Biden and whatever the hell this is? All right? Radio up, Silence 547 00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:17.199 the children, the co workers, the carpool person, whatever your spouse, 548 00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:20.239 to do it nicely. You don't want this to be a fight. Later 549 00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:25.039 and helped me out because I can't figure out the h the American autoworker or 550 00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:31.320 the union thing yesterday, the autoworkers union. What what? What? What 551 00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:36.760 the hell is going on? Well, teach Donald Trumplin a valuable lesson. 552 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.159 Don't mess with them in and awak unless you want to get the benefit. 553 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:51.159 All right, this way? What what? What? And now I'm concerned 554 00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:58.360 because the president of the United States arguably the most powerful person, whomever that 555 00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:05.360 person is. All situations are different in the world, right, that's I 556 00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.960 think that's still the case. You know, people go, well, China's 557 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.880 got more people of this right right, right, right, But the end 558 00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:16.880 is not the currency standard for like a third of the world's countries. So 559 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:23.079 there's that. Yeah, so in America, the and so when he says 560 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:27.719 there's a valuable lesson or she or whomever it is, I want to hear 561 00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:31.719 what it is that might concern me. I want to know what it is. 562 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:36.280 I don't want to be on the wrong side of something. You know, 563 00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:37.400 if I if I got to grab the go bag and get to the 564 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.320 bunker. Tell me now, all right, one more time, mister president, 565 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.599 what is this valuable lesson? Well tease Donald Trump, but a valuable 566 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.440 lesson, don't mess with them in awheric unless you want to get the benefit 567 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.039 I heard America in there. So I now I'm convinced it's relevant to me, 568 00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:01.400 as you know, a US passport whole and a native born son. 569 00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:07.320 I mean, is something happening? What is that? All right? So 570 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:13.079 seriously, what he's saying the women, This is where it gets weird because 571 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:19.079 they start doing the analysis and it sounds like he's trying to say, don't 572 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.840 mess with the women and men of America, and not in the order it 573 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.480 normally is. So that's like a weird little nuance here. One more time, 574 00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:31.280 Well tease Donald chomping a valuable lesson, don't mess with the men in 575 00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:36.920 aweric unless you want to get the benefit. You agree, you would agree, 576 00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:38.760 That's what it sounds like he's trying to say is don't mess with the 577 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.400 you know, men and women of America. But it also sounds like he's 578 00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:45.360 trying to say women and men of America. I don't know, but maybe 579 00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:50.159 it's something else and I don't know, and later I'll get a nuke or 580 00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:55.280 something like. Whatever you do a valuable lesson. Whatever you do, don't 581 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:59.679 be in wake forest later, right? What if that's what he was saying? 582 00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:05.639 Ross And now you don't know? Yeah, I'm telling you, man. 583 00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:07.400 Then he rumored for a little while. I don't know what he's gonna 584 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:13.119 do today, you know, Joe Biden's is it today or tomorrow? Joe 585 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:16.880 Biden's coming to North Carolina? Like, is he there's gonna leave on a 586 00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:21.480 stage for eight hours until she gets back. I don't how does that even 587 00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:29.559 work? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, no, okay, 588 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:31.280 so I'm not the only one it did. It did kind of sound 589 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.320 like that, well that it was he was going for women and men and 590 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:44.159 so they Honestly, I like that sounds like something a politician would say intentionally, 591 00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:45.559 do you know what I mean? Where they were just like the show, 592 00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.000 you know, a little virtue signal. You hear that stuff sometimes. 593 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:54.880 And then he screwed up what was supposed to be a money line, if 594 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.280 that is in fact what he was going for, which I kind of think 595 00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:00.639 it was when I listen to it. But I'll let you be the judge, 596 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:05.719 all right, seven, eighteen CaCO Day Radio program. We're gonna get 597 00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:07.559 it. We're gonna get into the carry Lake stuff just because we're gonna be 598 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:14.480 We'll get back into more entertainment stuff in the next hour. But I don't 599 00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.599 think this is a one off. I don't think this is a one off. 600 00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:22.360 And I've talked to people who have held office, who wanted to hold 601 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:27.760 office, who were in positions of power, and whether it's them espousing and 602 00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:30.159 experience they had where they were kind of shocked behind the scenes once they got 603 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:37.079 into it, or openly bragging about how about who's really in charge and how 604 00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:42.440 people are rubes, which is a thing, and it's not a thing with 605 00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:47.000 all people, but you meet these characters in politics and for whatever reason, 606 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:52.880 they tend to climb ladders because they're kind of willing to do whatever. But 607 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.960 you know, the ends justify the means, Right, that's where we're going. 608 00:46:57.079 --> 00:46:59.880 Well, we'll talk about it coming out. Hang on one O six. 609 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:05.079 Want to have them talk at f w pt I two stations driving the 610 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:19.960 vest end talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina is Morning News a 611 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.440 europe first. Go right ahead, sir, how are you going? Oh 612 00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:27.719 are we doing? Good. Uh do you think that there's literally like a 613 00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:32.039 studio audience like applaud sign for when Biden talks, because if Trump said something 614 00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:37.920 so ridiculous out of Trump, he probably will stop and look around and not 615 00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.320 and not applause. Well, look, here's the I've been to. I've 616 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:45.199 been to to Trump rallies and you have those, you have some of that 617 00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:50.000 awkwardness, uh, to where you could tell people don't know whether to applause 618 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.519 or not, but they don't use an applause sign. Do you know what 619 00:47:52.559 --> 00:48:00.599 a social contagion is? A contagion or social social influences another word for it. 620 00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:05.400 But I treat them as two different things because one one is just one 621 00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.360 is helpful to us and one is not. So what they do if pay 622 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.400 attention, if you go to an event with where there's a lot a lot 623 00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:16.920 of people, what you'll see is you'll see campaign surrogates, so like it 624 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:21.400 could be Chris Christie standing there next to Trump like in the early days, 625 00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.000 or some of the you know, the folks that work for the campaign who 626 00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.159 were up on the stage on the side maybe so they're in your periphery, 627 00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:35.320 but standing there and then they start clapping. Then people will start clapping, 628 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:37.760 So it's not an applause sign, but they're utilizing what is an actual si 629 00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:45.159 psychological thing called a social contagion, and so yes, but not an actual 630 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.360 sign. Does that answer your question? And yeah, I got it? 631 00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:53.320 I have a weird Do you think I feel like Trump should take carry rates 632 00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:59.000 to the VP? After after how much clouds she basically gets out of this 633 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:06.079 not being a sellout? Well, do you think that's I gotta I got? 634 00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:07.679 Well, I'll tell you what, sir, I will let me. 635 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.239 Let me. I'm gonna I'm gonna hang out, but I'm gonna address that 636 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:17.760 into the Kerry Lake stuff is claiming that he knows who it's gonna be and 637 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.360 it's definitely going to be a man. But I don't how much it to 638 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.480 you that guy? You know? Yeah? I don't, Frank, I 639 00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:27.360 don't believe any of them until they do it right, just like polls, 640 00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:29.400 and I'm like, I don't know what the hell is going on. Let's 641 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:35.559 see, all right, you got left out the massive accident on Capitol somewhere 642 00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:43.079 between like wake Forest and Youngsville. When when was I saw on Saturday? 643 00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.199 On Saturday wicked one? Oh, there's one right now. Oh oh, 644 00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:52.599 you mean the traffic people left that out? All right, well I'll tell 645 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.119 you we'll fire them all, sir. Okay, all right, there you 646 00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:06.320 go, uh Ross, fire all the traffic people. I'm delegating this given 647 00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:13.320 an insulting severance packaged. Yeah, there was on Saturday. I was headed 648 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.119 from the Raleigh station to downtown Raleigh at Capitol and the northbound had this wicked 649 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:22.039 accident right by where the Greyhound station is and it was backed all the way 650 00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:27.760 into downtown on a Saturday. That was crazy. But okay, you got 651 00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.639 got one going today on the carry Lake thing, and that's where we're headed 652 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:37.519 next. Yeah. Maybe the problem is I want to talk about what the 653 00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:44.039 carry Lake thing is just and dwell upon some experiences that I've had because I 654 00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:45.039 want to make it all about me. But no, really, I just 655 00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:50.719 I want to approach it from a couple different places, and we'll do that 656 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.199 coming up next. Hang on, I'm smarter one O six one AFM Talk 657 00:50:54.320 --> 00:51:00.519 and News Talk ninety four to w PTI more with case he starts now. 658 00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:07.800 All right, seven thirty five Kcoday Radio program. Let's get into Kerry Lake 659 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:12.360 stuff. And don't worry, sir, I will if I remember, because 660 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.840 you know how my brain works all over the place. I'll tie it back 661 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:21.360 to your Kerry Lake Trump question there spot, So let's just get into the 662 00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:28.119 audio. Kerry Lake obviously former newscaster and then ran obviously for governor there in 663 00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:34.800 Arizona, did not win. You had some some some pretty insane weird stuff 664 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:44.360 that was going on like that is either was either rought from incompetence or intentional 665 00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:50.920 and could be best described as dirty tricks and worst described as election law malfeasance. 666 00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:57.639 And I promise you had the those who were had those polling places in 667 00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:05.840 Maricopa County which were exclusive in deep red areas, not been understaffed, had 668 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:13.119 irregular hours and massive problems. And instead it was in I don't know all 669 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:17.679 of the communities around Phoenix, but let's just say one that is much more 670 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:22.920 my minority or lower income area. People be losing their minds. Do you 671 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:29.280 remember in Atlanta it was I think it was the one of the special elections, 672 00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.519 not the last ones, but a number of years ago where os whatever 673 00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:40.079 that idiot's name is, the first time he lost the the Democratic Party was 674 00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:49.920 beside themselves because the polling, the polling places in the central or south? 675 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.840 Is it south Atlanta? Orient me, you lived in Atlanta, where would 676 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:58.280 be the Democratic stronghold that I mean Atlanta, But where would the really really 677 00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:05.440 deep blue part of Atlanta be? Ross where with downtown Fulton County? Well 678 00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:09.119 yeah, okay, so but yes, And and if you remember, they 679 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:13.760 were mad because and then Buckhead, right, that's the really nice area that 680 00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:16.599 is probably pretty. Buckhead is super rich, right, okay, all right, 681 00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:22.519 So if you don't remember the beef, the party was upset because during 682 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:27.880 the election on election day it rained, but it rained. It didn't really 683 00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:31.480 rain in Buckhead, but it rained in and so in that case, I 684 00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:36.760 think they thought God was trying to disfranchise them. But who the hell knows? 685 00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:39.400 Like this is this is the thing. And it's also the reason why 686 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:45.199 our election officials in North Carolina will almost immediately have we had an election where 687 00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:51.400 precincts in Durham and haven't been extended. I don't remember. I feel like 688 00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.440 that's the thing every year, and so and then some people look at them 689 00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:57.880 and go, well, why are you doing that? We had some similar 690 00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:02.639 problems, so and I'll let people fight that out. But so that was 691 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:05.400 it, and there's a bunch of other stuff, but that you know, 692 00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:13.320 that's Kerry Lake. And there's apparently a lot more to this story, according 693 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:16.960 to Lake, and even more audio than we've even been provided thus far. 694 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:23.000 So the gist of it is this all right, all right, that's his 695 00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:28.400 response. Hold on, we'll get into this. So the the chairman of 696 00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:34.159 the Arizona GOP has resigned put a letter out and he did so after audio 697 00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:38.119 from a phone call between Lake and himself quote dropped, you know, got 698 00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:42.000 put out there, and I guess behind the scenes, Lake was like, 699 00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:45.119 yeah, I have this, and she says she has another recording, and 700 00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:50.440 it's not totally clear what it is, but like the storyline is that she 701 00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.000 said I'm going to release the other recording if you don't, and then they 702 00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:57.400 released this one. So there's there's some stuff behind the scenes. I don't 703 00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:04.119 know. But in the response let's see here, or in the audio, 704 00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.360 I should say, there was released Tuesday. It appears to reveal the chairman 705 00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:13.039 of the Republican Party. This is from local News, the local NBC affiliate 706 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:19.119 in Phoenix tried to the chairman of the party, tried to nudge fellow Republican 707 00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.880 Kerry Lake out of politics before she became a US Senate. I said senate, 708 00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:29.559 I said governor. But you know what I mean. Yeah, And 709 00:55:29.639 --> 00:55:32.960 it was Chair Jeff DeWitt. He said, quote, there are very powerful 710 00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:37.760 people who want to keep you out. They're willing to put their money where 711 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:40.000 their mouth is in a big way. All right, before we interpret what 712 00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:45.440 all that means, let's get into it. Which I can be bought, 713 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:52.039 that's what it's about. You can take a hawks for governors. No, 714 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:55.840 no, ten million, twenty million, third, no, no, no, 715 00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:01.519 a billion. No. This is not about money. This is about 716 00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:10.559 our country. I think it's disturbing that they would even that anybody would think 717 00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:15.280 this is to be fair, even me, even me, I'll say this. 718 00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:20.639 I want a fush face right now for the reason that I've never seen 719 00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:25.079 anyone. I can't think of a single persons who've lost Brandy a lot. 720 00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.079 I can't think of it. You can think of it. I'm not going 721 00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:34.239 to let these people who hate our country tell me not to run. You 722 00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:36.800 should call them and tell them to get behind me. All right, So 723 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:39.320 just a little context with me. But she's saying they it's because de Witt 724 00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:45.679 told her the quote powerful people right right, the nameless faces with gobs of 725 00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:50.480 money, and it's I want to make sure and just note it is very 726 00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:57.159 clear that there is a monetary although I think it's not limited to that, 727 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.639 and I don't know exactly, but there is a monetary angle, because you're 728 00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:04.000 clearly talking about money. And I'll explain why I wanted to point that out 729 00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:06.320 here in just a moment. Let's get back into it. So what's going 730 00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:10.400 on? What is I'm assuming this is our friend, this is this is 731 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:20.599 this is they there are very powerful people want to keep you out on what. 732 00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:23.480 They're willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way. 733 00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:30.280 So Scott never had. This is crazy though they should want me. 734 00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:36.880 I'm a great candidate. People love me. These people are corrupt, well 735 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:45.280 maybe are they are? They are corrupt. Don't go I'll get myself in 736 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:49.480 this if you if you say no, let's just fine. It's your choice. 737 00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:54.239 Don't tell people they're going to try to have me murdered. Things world, 738 00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:58.039 Man, if that stuff that came out last week is right about the 739 00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:05.239 cartel stuff, the cartels offering in fifty states right now, So so what 740 00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:08.719 what what's going on? Who is it? What forget the who, right, 741 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:12.800 No, no, no, I want to know the who. Who's 742 00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:17.480 the people calling around saying gosh no, they can't mean it. Never repeat 743 00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:22.639 this, you say no, don't because I got offered a buy, because 744 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:24.519 then we lose our ability to get things done. All right, all right, 745 00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:28.920 so you're getting the vibe here. We got a little more audio. 746 00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.239 But here's what I want to say, and and and then we'll really dice 747 00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:38.239 into this here after we chat with Ray in a moment. It's when you 748 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:43.519 hear it all laid out like that and there is a specific or maybe not 749 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:49.360 a specific number, but it's clear they're talking about money. I think you 750 00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.440 have to separate that from some other stuff. But I guess morally, I 751 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:58.000 don't know that you can separate it, Like if you don't think power brokers, 752 00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:01.480 especially within a party, are manipulating this, Like you know that inherently, 753 00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:07.800 right, this is the sausage being made. But and I'm not justifying 754 00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:14.800 it, but I want to kind of compare and contrast it because really, 755 00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:17.639 I think if we've made a list, guessing who those names might be, 756 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.800 you know, if you spend a minute in Washington, you could probably figure 757 00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:27.159 out who might be on that list. I'm not surprised by this, I'm 758 00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.480 all. What I'm surprised by is this guy is talking to somebody who spent 759 00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.440 her career as a reporter and an investigative reporter and then an anchor, and 760 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:38.840 he doesn't just assume she's recording all the time. I'm telling you, man, 761 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.079 I've had to have a couple of conversations with some reporters who I'm very 762 00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:47.719 critical of around here, and in my mind those are on the phone. 763 00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:52.199 In my mind, I just assumed they were recording. And frankly, if 764 00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:57.599 you ever have talked to a reporter, you should too. So think about 765 00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:01.760 that while we think about whether with Race from the Letter Channel very appropriate? 766 01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:07.119 Man, Yeah, you want to get you you want to get your early 767 01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:13.639 picks in for this week? By the way, Yeah, Lions and Chiefs. 768 01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:17.760 Lions, and you think the Lions are gonna be San Frano. Huh, 769 01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:23.280 Well, I that's who I want to win. I wanted Lions and 770 01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:25.719 Browns to be in the super Bowl because I'm an let it burn guy. 771 01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:31.719 But but if I just tried to practically apply it right, I wanted them 772 01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.960 to come out. Yeah. My super Bowl viewership was ten million, this 773 01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:38.960 year? What the hell? Right? All right? Yeah, but the 774 01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:44.079 truth is is that party needs to have what was that one game where he 775 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:47.639 really kind of just was awful? If he has one of those off games 776 01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.679 one earlier in the season, yeah, I mean, I mean any given 777 01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:55.159 Sunday, right, that'll be fair. I just also didn't have Debo in 778 01:00:55.239 --> 01:01:00.159 that game or Kittle, so like, you know, right right, and 779 01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:02.199 it is deepo. Yeah, is he playing Debot? Has he played? 780 01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:06.880 I haven't. I haven't even looked. Then. I don't even screw it 781 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:12.079 this stuff until yeah, why not? Yes, that's who I like. 782 01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:16.440 I probably it's probably gonna be forty nine ers in the Ravens, That's what 783 01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:20.719 I that's who I think is gonna win. But you know, we'll say 784 01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:23.159 pull for the Chiefs after. But the cheese fan didto his buddies, do 785 01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:29.280 you see that? Which one? The one where like they were watching the 786 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:31.199 game and his two buddies left and no, no, no, no, 787 01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:36.960 just random cheese. His buddies went outside and it was freaking cold, because 788 01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.800 that's what you guys do this time of the year, and his two buddies 789 01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:42.960 rose to death in his yard and he didn't know. Is that what that 790 01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.599 was I just read the headline. I didn't know that was a cheese fan. 791 01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:50.280 Yeah, you guys came over, you all raw rod cood about Taylor 792 01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:52.960 Swift and then they strolled out and froze to death in the dude's yard and 793 01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:55.599 he didn't leave his house. Yes, all the time. Yeah, that's 794 01:01:55.599 --> 01:02:00.079 where terrible anyway, But we have to worry freezing here. I mean, 795 01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:05.239 it almost feels like springtime. And the steadiest rain just starting to cross I 796 01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:12.920 seventy seven just to the west of Winston Salem. You're Yatkinville and Dobson as 797 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.000 you get into Yakin County, respectively, and it's coming east. So that'll 798 01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:19.840 fill in across the triad in the next hour or two and then starts spreading 799 01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:23.679 east triangled thereafter. So occasional rain and maybe even a few bed at thunderstorms, 800 01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:29.280 some fog around. Low seventies are today's high. It's just ridiculous. 801 01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:32.480 Only in the sixties tonight, and we'll continue the low seventies tomorrow. More 802 01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:36.840 showers, thunder showers. Today's probably the better coverage of rain. We might 803 01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:39.360 get a little lull tomorrow morning than tomorrow afternoon. That threat comes back into 804 01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:44.760 tomorrow night and Saturday another round before it all ends, and finally just a 805 01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:46.519 chance of showers on Sunday morning, then maybe some sun for a couple of 806 01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:51.519 days as we can next week with cooler temperatures too, So we're probably mid 807 01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:55.880 upper sixties to near seventy right through at least a Sunday before the cool down 808 01:02:55.960 --> 01:02:59.880 comes. All right, man, thank you so much, appreciate it, 809 01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.559 and we come back. Like I said, I'll give you my take on 810 01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:07.159 the Kerry Lake thing, but I wanted to set it up and share just 811 01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:09.679 a couple of things, so we'll do that next on the cacoday Radio program, 812 01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:15.119 Keeping you connected. This is ninety four or five WPTI and the Triad 813 01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:22.159 at one six one FM talked and the Triangle. All right, seven fifty 814 01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:27.599 two, welcome back here on the cacoday Radio program. A couple assertions by 815 01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:30.400 the now former GOP head down there in Arizona. He believes he was set 816 01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:38.679 up kind of kind of, but you know, sometimes the setup's not a 817 01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:45.280 setup. It's it can be for a variety of reasons. But the fact 818 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:49.039 that the audio is a year old, which it is, leads me to 819 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:52.559 the conclusion that Lake was you know, putting that in her pocket for when 820 01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:55.800 she needed it. But also if you were the one who approached her, 821 01:03:57.119 --> 01:04:01.119 which it sounds like obviously you were, and she got a sense of what's 822 01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:04.800 going on. I don't blame her from getting that on tape. And the 823 01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:11.480 question that becomes does she use it as a political weapon or does she use 824 01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:15.559 you know, go to the authorities, But probably not because remember Carrie Lake, 825 01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:19.360 like a lot of people, doesn't believe the authorities are give a crap 826 01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:23.960 about stuff like this. And she might and it might not be wrong. 827 01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:29.760 I mean, as evidenced by so many other things. So he and he 828 01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:32.199 also said and so that you know she was very careful what she said. 829 01:04:32.239 --> 01:04:35.840 Well, absolutely, she's recording it, right, I'm going to record something, 830 01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.000 and it's in an effort to get people, somebody to say something they 831 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.320 shouldn't be saying. I'm not I'm going to not make the mistake of being 832 01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:47.000 like also, I want to and then you know, insert something that could 833 01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:51.199 get me in jail. So like, I get all that, but it 834 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:56.760 doesn't negate the fact that some rich guys back east you're the bagman. Form 835 01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.679 is how this looks. And he says in his statement that he re because 836 01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:03.039 Lake said, if you don't, I'm going to release another quote much more 837 01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:09.800 damning piece of audio. And so he said he acquiesced because quote, I 838 01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:14.119 can't frankly remember all the stuff that was said in all the conversations we've had, 839 01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:20.679 which is a problem. It's like it's like somebody who's a big liar, 840 01:05:20.920 --> 01:05:25.719 right, you know, it's the moral the moral story there. If 841 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:28.079 you tell the truth, you never have to remember what you know, what 842 01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:31.000 I'm saying. But if you tell a bunch of lies, you got to 843 01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.760 remember which lies you told to different people. And so yeah, I understand. 844 01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:39.760 Like, let me say this, Ross, you and I have had 845 01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:44.920 conversations almost daily for ten years. I'm pretty sure that I never tried to 846 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:50.320 seriously involve you in what many people would see as some sort of criminal conspiracy 847 01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:55.679 or at least high level corruption. Have I I don't. I'm almost positive 848 01:05:55.679 --> 01:05:58.920 I haven't. I hope not. Yeah, I can't see how you would. 849 01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:01.800 Well, But but like, but I've taked you. I take you 850 01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:10.239 all the time, like all the time. Your correct? This is an 851 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:15.000 outrage? When did this start? Yeah, oh it's just crazy, man, 852 01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:21.280 But also it's horse trading. But it and it's it's not new. 853 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:25.239 You know, if you watch I mentioned the movie Lincoln. If you watch 854 01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:30.280 Lincoln trying to get the Constitutional Amendment necessary uh for you know, for his 855 01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:34.840 vision of America and the abolition of slavery. There's all there's like twenty minutes 856 01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:36.960 of the movie or else. You've seen Lincoln. You're a big Daniel day 857 01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:40.440 Lewis fan. You've seen the Lincoln. I have not seen it. You 858 01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:43.360 really, I thought you were a Daniel day Lewis. I love I love 859 01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:45.880 it. I think he's the best act there ever. I think he's incredible. 860 01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:48.039 But that movie came out sort of like when I was really busy taking 861 01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:51.039 care of Lincoln and stuff and I did not have time, Okay, with 862 01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:55.800 no time. So so the way the way that they got senators, and 863 01:06:55.920 --> 01:07:00.079 this is what's crazy is they went around, Uh they went around and literally 864 01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.519 just had a bribery team. And it was and it was also strange because 865 01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:09.159 like today you'd ask for all this stuff and like some of the these are 866 01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:14.239 city and US senators who were bribed with being appointed postmaster general for an area 867 01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:16.599 because that was seen as higher profile, I guys, but like this was 868 01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:23.000 this was openly going on. And also this goes on behind the scenes through 869 01:07:23.079 --> 01:07:28.039 the whips, and you know the majority of minority whips whose job it is 870 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.960 to bring people in. And when it gets ugly is when you've got close 871 01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.519 votes like with Obama. Remember all the stuff we saw with Obamacare that was 872 01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:41.800 getting stuffed in there. So the difference here is it's on the nose with 873 01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.400 money. And I think that's what's shocking people. I will tell you this. 874 01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:47.840 I'm not going to get into it. I've talked to multiple people over 875 01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:54.719 the years, under multiple presidents or power structures within parties, who have been 876 01:07:54.760 --> 01:07:58.440 brought in for a meeting where it was explained to him how it's going to 877 01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:01.800 go. And maybe they were incentivized or de incentivized, but that's how it 878 01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:08.320 is. And I you know, you know how Trump was handling. He 879 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:15.400 was outsourcing a lot of his endorsement research work to an organization and and pretty 880 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:20.039 much who they they recommended seem to get into his nominations list. And I 881 01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:24.760 know somebody who literally sat in a meeting and it was explained to him that 882 01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:28.560 you don't need to run for that office. Don't do it now. They 883 01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:30.760 didn't offer him money, but they made it very clear that it was the 884 01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:34.319 opposite, Like the spiggots would all be turned off, you'd get no support, 885 01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:39.279 don't do this thing, but how about this gig? And then we're 886 01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:43.039 all behind you. So that's not unusual. I think this is just it's 887 01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:46.920 very shocking because of where, you know, thrown around thirty million dollars. 888 01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:49.399 But if you just take somebody and go, hey, don't run for this, 889 01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:53.840 but will make you VP of this big company and they make thirty million, 890 01:08:54.319 --> 01:08:56.960 isn't that the same thing? And I don't know the answer to it. 891 01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:00.960 So that's where you know, being a good person comes in. I 892 01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:03.159 you know, if somebody offered Ross a bunch of money, every time I'm 893 01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:08.159 talking to start playing Joe Dirt audio instead of the broadcast, like you wouldn't 894 01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:15.239 do that because it's a moral thing, right completely, Yeah, how much 895 01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:27.079 are we talking about it? I'm not gonna tell you anecdote. All right, 896 01:09:27.159 --> 01:09:31.439 good morning everybody, and welcome. It is eight oh six hour number 897 01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:35.520 three here on our Thursday. And busy, busy, busy, busy, 898 01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:41.319 crazy busy, uh, in the world of politics, but also in just 899 01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:45.079 the amount of the Hollywood stuff too, which is great because it is Thursdays 900 01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:51.840 when we chat with Stephen Kent. Steven's from Bounding into Comics and he joins 901 01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:57.399 us on most Thursdays. And how you doing, sir, Good morning y'all. 902 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.239 Are you ready to present me with my Best Support Actor nomination for the 903 01:10:00.279 --> 01:10:06.319 auditors? I am so glad the Ryan Gosling movie is dude. I'm telling 904 01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:11.840 you man, the meltdowns over that we taught I set it up a little 905 01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.520 earlier, but for just joining us. Basically, the ultimist, the ultimate 906 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:20.960 feminist anthem of our era in the minds of many reporters, culminated with Oscar 907 01:10:21.079 --> 01:10:27.560 nominations that did include Ken Jake Gillenhole, but did not include Margot Robbie in 908 01:10:27.640 --> 01:10:31.760 her capacity as an actress. She is she's in the Best Picture because she's 909 01:10:31.800 --> 01:10:39.439 a producer, and did not include Greta Gerwig who was the director, and 910 01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:44.119 that did not sit well. And everybody, including like Hillary Clinton, had 911 01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:47.119 to weigh in on this thing. So, uh, we're talking. Hillary 912 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:51.720 Clinton knows all about getting nominated and not taking home the goal. She said, 913 01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:57.039 that's not the thing. They didn't get nominated. So her tweet like 914 01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:00.479 I get it, I get it. Sisters, you don't you did get 915 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:06.239 nominated, right, that's not it's the part you didn't win. So absolutely 916 01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:10.880 hilarious. No, Ryan, Ryan Gosling. What I think is just funny 917 01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:15.600 about this case, he is that Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie, if Margot 918 01:11:15.640 --> 01:11:20.359 Robbie were to have been nominated, these are both something akin to like pity 919 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:27.359 nominations, their relevance nominations. So the Academy every year tries to pick one 920 01:11:27.479 --> 01:11:32.039 or two movies that were popular with the people and they give them nominations. 921 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:36.479 But there's no hope of those those movies taking home the gold in any of 922 01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:41.600 those categories. Those things go to Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer's and 923 01:11:41.640 --> 01:11:45.239 the movie that you probably have never heard of, DiCaprio on You Now. 924 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.960 I watched that movie over the weekend, so it's still fresh in my mind. 925 01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:51.640 I would do it. Was that the greatest performance of you know, 926 01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:56.199 DiCaprio. I don't know. I got no beef with DiCaprio, like most 927 01:11:56.239 --> 01:12:00.239 of his movies, so I've never seen Titanic, thank god, But like 928 01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:03.359 he's one of those actors where he always kind of sounds like the same dude. 929 01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:08.600 But the movie was okay, and you're right, but that was we 930 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:11.880 were talking about this that was a bit of a change because they went through 931 01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:16.000 this era. And I pinpointed, twenty twenty is kind of the one that 932 01:12:16.119 --> 01:12:19.600 blew my mind because I remember we were sitting on the air because they do 933 01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:24.880 the nominations in the morning, and I saw the Best Picture nominees and it 934 01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:29.079 was like seven of them, and I realized I had seen one of those 935 01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:32.199 movies, knew what another one was, had no idea what the other five 936 01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:38.279 were. And you're right, Hollywood decided. Remember the discussion about basically having 937 01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:42.399 a they were talking maybe a peasants category, right. I didn't really call 938 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:45.640 it that, but that's what it is, right, Yeah, most popular 939 01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:49.159 movie, I believe, is what that category was going to be called. 940 01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:54.479 They really tightened up their nominations this year. There are less than there were 941 01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:57.880 a couple of years ago when they were trying this. But no, it's 942 01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:03.199 just all this ego driven and drama around Hollywood. I don't really understand why 943 01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:08.319 Ryan Gosling has a nomination for Ken. I mean, this was a comedic 944 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:13.880 performance, kind of like a Will Ferrell type movie. Granted Will Ferrell movie, 945 01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:16.960 Yeah, I mean it was just a very silly performance. I don't 946 01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:24.319 really understand why this is worthy of a Best Supporting Actor nomination or why America 947 01:13:24.439 --> 01:13:30.239 Ferrera, the Latina woman in the movie who plays the disenchanted mother in Barbie, 948 01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:34.359 gets the Best Supporting Actress nomination when her only contribution was to deliver a 949 01:13:34.560 --> 01:13:39.960 monologue at the end that you could have written and read off of a sticky 950 01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:44.760 note. It's just very bizarre and none of it is to be taken seriously. 951 01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:48.520 Yeah, we spoke. Remember I didn't make it that far in the 952 01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:55.159 movie, so I feel like I had the better experience. But also like 953 01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:59.640 people made that argument with now I'm not on the Ferreira thing, but on 954 01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:04.960 the meet side, remember the member like the Marissa Tomay when she she won 955 01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:09.840 too, by the way, Best Supporting Actress for my cousin Vinnie, And 956 01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:14.239 like you could tell like Hollywood was uncomfortable with that. And then you had 957 01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:18.600 when hurt Locker beat Avatar because it was on the tail end of Bush right, 958 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:23.199 they didn't like, Ah, this is we can't have war propaganda. 959 01:14:23.199 --> 01:14:26.439 I'm like, I don't think that's put painting a positive picture. Did you 960 01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:30.119 watch the movie? Guys, like like it's not stripes, right, You're 961 01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:34.720 not there for fun. You're there for you know, showing something that people 962 01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:38.840 may know about, may have heard about, but may not have experienced in 963 01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:43.560 their life because they don't know somebody who has come back with PTSD and and 964 01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:47.880 and watched the ravages there and and like and so like, they keep reinventing 965 01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:53.479 themselves. And it culminated this year with well Top Gun getting ignored after a 966 01:14:53.600 --> 01:15:00.159 quote saved Hollywood was crazy to me. But it culminated this year with like, 967 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:03.640 you know, we're we're now into the era where if you don't check 968 01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:08.479 diversity boxes in the making every movie, you can't even submit it. Did 969 01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:12.520 you see the video of the guys who were doing the movie about what was 970 01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:18.079 this sixteen hundred's era Denmark? And the reporters like he the reporter realized that 971 01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:23.880 the movie wasn't eligible because it didn't meet diversity standards, so he smugly called 972 01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:28.920 out the director and one of the actors, I think it was mad Mad 973 01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:33.560 Nicholson responded to that question and just laughed in his face that this journalist was 974 01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:40.279 wondering why there wasn't more racial diversity in a movie about medieval Denmark, and 975 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.680 the director's answer was actually interesting because it's where reality meets the Hollywood fantasy. 976 01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:51.800 And he talked about how they actually had census records from the era and they 977 01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:57.399 would literally put where you were from and in the in the area were covered. 978 01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:00.479 I don't remember how percentage of the country, but like in that era, 979 01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.840 they had one person in the census that was identified as what would be 980 01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.720 now a person of color, and they that person is actually a character kind 981 01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:14.479 of supposed to be them is in the movie, but it's not eligible because 982 01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:16.199 of it. So now we're going to move farther away from all of that, 983 01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:21.000 because how do you make a movie about you? What was the move 984 01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:25.960 the Dunkirk Remember Dunkirk. They were mad that all the British soldiers on the 985 01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:30.119 beach were too white. I mean, oh yeah. Now, when people 986 01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:33.520 on the left talk about representation, uh, and then you actually come back 987 01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:39.199 to them, well how about we have people represented based on their percentage uh, 988 01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:41.800 you know, rate in the population, They're going to go, oh, 989 01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:44.920 well, that's not what we want. We don't want actual proportional representation 990 01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:47.840 in the population. We just want majority of this color or that color. 991 01:16:48.359 --> 01:16:51.319 It's all. It's all just kind of phony. And that's why I am 992 01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:57.720 actually very excited about one particular movie that did get Best Picture nomination that everyone 993 01:16:57.800 --> 01:17:01.680 should go see because it's sort of an anti anthem. It's called American Fiction 994 01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:06.720 starring Jeffrey Wright. Have you heard about this movie. I have heard about 995 01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:12.680 it. I have not seen it, but Jeffrey Wright and Zucker and a 996 01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:16.159 few other kind of those the conservatives in Hollywood, those do And I don't 997 01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:18.920 know Jeffrey Wright's there, but I saw him at some so I don't really 998 01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.960 know his politics, but he was with Zucker, who made the spoof movies, 999 01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:28.000 and a few others, and they they've been at both the rnc's. 1000 01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:30.520 I've been walking around doing interviews and it's really weird to see Hollywood people in 1001 01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:35.119 there doing that. Yeah, so yeah, they'll tell me more. Movie 1002 01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:41.520 is pretty unique. Yeah, it's it's interesting. So it's the directorial debut 1003 01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.840 of Oh, I'm blanking on this guy's name, Oh Cord Jefferson. And 1004 01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:48.760 so this movie is about a black author who wants to write his memoir about 1005 01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:53.720 his life. But he's a very highly educated, well spoken, you know, 1006 01:17:53.840 --> 01:18:00.319 well to do black guy, and the publishers want him to present his 1007 01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.840 life story like he came from the projects, like he survived crime and abuse 1008 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:09.439 and drugs and all that kind of stuff, so that they can sell the 1009 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:14.560 book to white audiences, white liberal audiences who only want to hear the story 1010 01:18:14.600 --> 01:18:18.960 about black struggle. And so he makes up his life story and defrauds the 1011 01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:25.079 entire country with a best seller because that's what liberal whites want to hear, 1012 01:18:25.239 --> 01:18:29.159 is only about oppression. And this movie has the best extra nomination, so 1013 01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.319 that is worth seeing for everyone who's interested in that. And it's they have 1014 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:38.279 the ability. This is the thing that kills me because I when I separate 1015 01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:44.560 historical movies, even though I hate the term inspired by, Right, remember 1016 01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:47.000 when Hollywood started going inspired by and you just roll your eyes because you're like, 1017 01:18:47.079 --> 01:18:49.319 this is not going to be it, This is not even going to 1018 01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:53.000 be close, right, Like, what were you inspired by? Well, 1019 01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:57.119 we want to make a movie about America in the nineteen fifties, Okay, 1020 01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:00.680 what was your And then like it's just but every now and then they do 1021 01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:03.239 a good job with it. Did you see green Book? Did you see 1022 01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:08.560 the movie green Book? Yes? But I don't remember much of it all, 1023 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:13.399 right, But basically that is that is pretty accurate. It's pretty accurate 1024 01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:18.600 in how that how it played out from a situational standpoint, right, And 1025 01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:23.439 I didn't feel that it was necessarily over the top. The fact remains that 1026 01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:30.000 you had segregated public accommodations and there was literally a guide for people who could 1027 01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:34.840 not go into white establishments. And I remember how I knew it probably was 1028 01:19:34.920 --> 01:19:40.279 pretty accurate. Is people were mad from both sides because like there were people 1029 01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.800 mad that it like it had a white savior theme. But I'm like, 1030 01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:46.680 I don't think it does. I feel like it's the white guy who gets 1031 01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:50.680 kind of saved in that movie to some extent. But so they can get 1032 01:19:50.720 --> 01:19:56.880 it right. But now with these diversity things, they are precluding themselves almost 1033 01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:00.279 from getting many movies right. And it's the op deposite of where they wanted 1034 01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:02.319 to go. Let me, let me tell I want to spend the whole 1035 01:20:02.319 --> 01:20:08.760 time here because I got a whole stack of stuff. And and one of 1036 01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:13.520 those things is are you are you aware of this rumor about Ziegler? And 1037 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:17.520 they like they want to now redo a big part and add a whole part 1038 01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:23.199 to the snow White movie. This isn't just moving a movie yeah, all 1039 01:20:23.319 --> 01:20:26.079 right, so this isn't just moving a movie, try to let it die 1040 01:20:26.199 --> 01:20:29.279 down and then you pump it out the next year and hope everything, you 1041 01:20:29.319 --> 01:20:35.880 know, everybody forgets this is so the rumor is this so she's so unlikable 1042 01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:41.439 to so many people. Disney realize they screwed up. They want a limit 1043 01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:45.560 or screen time, but you can't just cut her out of the movie about 1044 01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:50.439 snow White. So the rumor is that they're going to add a whole new 1045 01:20:50.720 --> 01:20:56.680 part to the movie that talks that is about her childhood. So you'll have 1046 01:20:56.960 --> 01:21:00.239 young snow White on you know, chewing up screen time, and then you'll 1047 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:05.479 have Ziegler as an adult, but it will diminish the amount of time she's 1048 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:11.920 on the screen. And that that's a pretty massive change if it's true. 1049 01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:17.760 Right it is, And it's an incredible act of desperation for Hollywood, you 1050 01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:23.520 know, recruiting this this actress, Rachel Ziegler, who resents and despises the 1051 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:27.760 role that she's going to be playing in snow White, talks trash about the 1052 01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:31.079 story itself with so many Americans and people around the world love. And then 1053 01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:34.680 the Daily Wire, you know, the place run by Ben Shapiro. They 1054 01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:40.279 announced that they're going to do their own snow White movie that actually honors, 1055 01:21:40.439 --> 01:21:45.600 that honors the story, and just like clockwork, Disney pauses the film and 1056 01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:53.880 goes back into production to make a completely different movie. They are actually scared. 1057 01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:57.600 They are looking at the tea leaves and seeing that the culture is starting 1058 01:21:57.720 --> 01:22:02.800 to turn against this sort of woke denigration of everything that people love when they 1059 01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:08.680 go to the movies. So I'm kind of pleased to see Disney possibly redoing 1060 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:12.720 this entire movie and adding this subplot in and taking rachel' zico off stream. 1061 01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:16.079 It's well, they're, they're, they're. The desperation is setting in, 1062 01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:21.399 not just from us audiences too. I was reading this piece. Hollywood spent 1063 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:27.239 years kowtowing to Beijing. Now their movies are tanking. It seems like every 1064 01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:30.680 every time there's a movie coming out, there's a sub story you normally didn't 1065 01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:34.640 used to see talking about whether China will err it or not, or changes 1066 01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:39.239 they have to make. Famously, recently, you have the top gun jacket 1067 01:22:39.319 --> 01:22:44.199 thing, right, but it's it's much more nuanced. Is that more about 1068 01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:47.960 Hollywood not I guess properly pandering, Or is that China. This is what 1069 01:22:48.079 --> 01:22:55.039 I think, and I'm probably right to think. This is about China realizing 1070 01:22:55.119 --> 01:23:00.319 the immense power propagandic power that this has. So they've dumped a app to 1071 01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:05.039 how many high high budget Chinese movies have have made their way across over here. 1072 01:23:05.239 --> 01:23:11.640 In the last Netflix is rot with them and so. But then they 1073 01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:15.159 can control the messaging one hundred percent because right now, if you want to 1074 01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:18.039 make a movie with Chinese investment, you kind of have to do uh, 1075 01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:24.359 you have to have a positive turn for the Chinese government or or citizenry. 1076 01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:29.079 And it's fine for the citizenry, but do you remember in The Martian that 1077 01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:34.479 whole element there so like that was China dumped a crap ton of money into 1078 01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:39.479 that because in the movie, their space program was portrayed as on par with 1079 01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:45.079 ours and they were our saviors. Now there is some books sourcing on this 1080 01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:49.399 stuff, and it's important to remember that, but it was very featured within 1081 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:53.119 the movie, and you realize trying to put a bunch of money in so 1082 01:23:53.279 --> 01:23:57.079 if they're not getting the Chinese market, which is what so many companies try 1083 01:23:57.119 --> 01:24:00.680 to pander to because there's a billion and a half people just look at the 1084 01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:04.520 Diablo game franchise and what Blizzard tried to do, and that insanity with mobile 1085 01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:10.319 games, and now your own box office is getting newtered. What do you 1086 01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:15.520 do man well for China? I mean, you're referencing a new report that's 1087 01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:19.720 in the New York Times, and it shows that in twenty twenty three, 1088 01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:26.479 there were no movies from Hollywood that topped their box office. In twenty twenty 1089 01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:29.319 two there were two, and the year before there were two. And it 1090 01:24:29.520 --> 01:24:34.319 used to be that majority of Chinese top movies were all from the United States. 1091 01:24:34.720 --> 01:24:38.560 Now you mentioned that this is changing for a couple of reasons. I 1092 01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:42.800 think it's two. One, the CCP, the Communist Party there is cracking 1093 01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:46.159 down on the culture. They are making sure that no outside messages and stories 1094 01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:49.760 are being told so that they can more strictly control their population. So that's 1095 01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:53.600 the thing that we don't like, right, We don't want to see that 1096 01:24:53.760 --> 01:24:56.960 happen in China. But the other thing, which I think does have merit, 1097 01:24:57.039 --> 01:25:01.960 is that they are just not interested in sort of the reheated franchise storytelling 1098 01:25:02.760 --> 01:25:08.039 that Hollywood is constantly doing. They don't want another Star Wars, another Fast 1099 01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:12.079 and the Furious, another Transformers movie. They're a little bit more interested in 1100 01:25:12.199 --> 01:25:16.520 heroic tales and patriotic stories of Chinese excellent, Yes, and that tends to 1101 01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:21.279 be the case that most countries are actually interested in those kind of feel good 1102 01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:26.560 stories about their own people, which is why Top Gun Maverick was such a 1103 01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:30.000 huge success. That actually made us feel a little bit good about ourselves. 1104 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:33.800 And sometimes that's okay, yeah, no, you know that is that that 1105 01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:39.680 is a really really great point. And I have my own thoughts on China, 1106 01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:44.920 but I'll admit they have produced some But I'm an action and I like, 1107 01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:46.960 you know the term, you know, the term wire foo if people 1108 01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:51.000 don't know, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would be a good example of wire 1109 01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:56.560 foo. But classically use you know, this almost supernatural kung fu, which 1110 01:25:56.600 --> 01:26:00.600 has been a hallmark by the way of movies that have come out of many 1111 01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:03.600 countries in Asia for many, many, many years. But the epics that 1112 01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:11.520 China has produced here recently have been substantial, and yes they are about historically 1113 01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:18.479 China patriotic if you will, but ultimately very high budget. So thirty seconds 1114 01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:23.880 left, this is just gonna get worse with China. So who does Disney 1115 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:29.199 choose to pander to us or them thirty seconds. You know, I am 1116 01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:32.960 a person who chooses hope over the over despair, and I do think that 1117 01:26:33.079 --> 01:26:36.680 Hollywood at some point is going to start looking at the numbers and they're going 1118 01:26:36.760 --> 01:26:41.000 to start getting real about what kind of movies Americans want to see. Top 1119 01:26:41.079 --> 01:26:43.640 Gun Maverick was the Canary in the coal mine, and I think we'll have 1120 01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:45.640 more of it, Yeah, I'm sure, and then more John Cena weird 1121 01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:47.439 videos. All right, I got a roll, Steven, Thank you so 1122 01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:51.199 much. Appreciate it, sir, Yeah, thank you, Ksey, all 1123 01:26:51.319 --> 01:26:56.359 right, we'll be back. Case Oda Radio program, hang on, thank 1124 01:26:56.520 --> 01:27:00.680 you. Casey is on ninety four to five in the Triad and one six 1125 01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:06.119 one FM Talk in the Triangle. Oh man, all right, welcome back. 1126 01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:14.119 Is eight thirty six. Strange Days, man, Strange days going on. 1127 01:27:14.359 --> 01:27:20.520 Not just the complete unmasking of a giant portion of the not just Democrat 1128 01:27:20.600 --> 01:27:26.399 Party, but that's where you're seeing it in more, you know, from 1129 01:27:26.560 --> 01:27:30.479 like a boardroom or a president's office at university, stuff like that, where 1130 01:27:30.520 --> 01:27:36.319 it's just like, wow, you got some real got some real thoughts there, 1131 01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:43.000 don't you on some stuff? Holy crap. But because it was almost 1132 01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:47.840 like societally acceptable. That's how you get baristas trying to screaming at some elderly 1133 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:54.520 Jewish woman I wanted to use the bathroom and then scolding her on with inaccurate 1134 01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:59.279 dates I might add about stuff. And again, you can have beef with 1135 01:27:59.479 --> 01:28:03.520 Israel. You could be uncomfortable with the UH. You can be uncomfortable with 1136 01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:11.000 that relationship because the Israeli relationship is is pretty unique in from a foreign policy 1137 01:28:11.119 --> 01:28:15.119 perspective, and especially if you're if you're if you lean more isolationist, it 1138 01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:18.279 probably makes you uncomfortable or or or whatever. Like you can, but you 1139 01:28:18.359 --> 01:28:21.600 can have adult discussions. What kills me, though, is like I keep 1140 01:28:21.680 --> 01:28:28.079 seeing these posts and maybe I'm just not watching the right stuff. Like every 1141 01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:33.800 day where some somebody I would consider a popular conservative Twitter person or pundit or 1142 01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:39.680 whatever you want to call them, like they all have some now seething hatred 1143 01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:45.279 for Ben Shapiro. And here's the thing I listened. I had a it's 1144 01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:48.520 a video, but I kind of listened to put it on the background. 1145 01:28:48.600 --> 01:28:55.000 I was doing some stuff yesterday. Shapiro on Lex Friedman's podcast did like a 1146 01:28:55.119 --> 01:28:59.960 two hour it's a video like a two hour debate with a streamer named Destiny, 1147 01:29:00.239 --> 01:29:04.399 who I was only vaguely familiar with. I just knew that he's he's 1148 01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:11.880 moonbad Light. Is this the fat guy with blue hair? No? That's 1149 01:29:12.439 --> 01:29:15.760 is that Destiny? He didn't have blue hair, and I wouldn't say he's 1150 01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:19.439 fat. No, he just looked like, looked like a Rando dude. 1151 01:29:20.760 --> 01:29:25.000 But I vaguely knew with it, No that the blue hair was. Is 1152 01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:27.960 that is that Destiny? Maybe he used to have blue hair. I don't 1153 01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:30.520 know, and maybe he used to be fat. I didn't hear anything from 1154 01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:34.600 him. I thought he said things that were obviously parroted on his side, 1155 01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:39.600 and I was There were a couple of times I kind of wish like Shapiro 1156 01:29:39.640 --> 01:29:43.319 would just be like, I'm sorry, you said what because Shapiro gets all 1157 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:46.920 big picture on stuff and so like, it was a really awkward start to 1158 01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:50.600 it. That being said, I didn't hear Shapiro say anything that I haven't 1159 01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:58.239 heard him say before. Like, I knew he was Jewish, and I 1160 01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:02.359 also knew that not only he's Jewish, but he has family members that live 1161 01:30:02.479 --> 01:30:06.439 over there, and I'm sure he's got dual citizenship. I heard that or 1162 01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:11.000 at least he has a not citizenship but a passport. I don't know, 1163 01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:15.840 but I you know, I knew what was baked in with Shapiro. But 1164 01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:18.359 it also was advantageous because even though I got to run through the filter of 1165 01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:25.359 everything else, Shapiro had a lot of streams of information coming because he knows 1166 01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:29.159 a lot of very high profile people over there. Now you can weigh whether 1167 01:30:29.159 --> 01:30:31.520 you think it's true or not, but this was you. Ever you ever 1168 01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:35.279 have an actor you kind of like and then and they're in some you know, 1169 01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:40.760 macho American movie or whatever, and then you watch them do an interview 1170 01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:44.680 with him, I remember, like crimes, right, what you go, 1171 01:30:44.840 --> 01:30:46.159 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And you're like, wait, 1172 01:30:46.479 --> 01:30:50.840 is that a Lundon ex What is happening? Man? It's a little shocking 1173 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:55.840 to you, But there was never a point watching Ben Shapiro where I'm like, 1174 01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:59.920 oh, he's Jewish. But I've never seen him without a yamaka. 1175 01:31:00.319 --> 01:31:02.399 Right, It's not shocking. He is still who he is. He hasn't 1176 01:31:02.479 --> 01:31:05.399 changed at all. But I'm gonna say, ever since those attacks happened over 1177 01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:10.000 there in Israel, it is a lot of people have shown their cards for 1178 01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:13.720 who they are and I have no time for that garbage. Absolutely no time 1179 01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:15.920 for it. I cannot tell you. I I typically am like, very 1180 01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:18.880 shy with the block button. I enjoy the mute button, which you've talked 1181 01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:21.880 for in the past, but the block button I tend to I in the 1182 01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:26.199 past, I tended to avoid. Recently, since those attacks, I got 1183 01:31:26.319 --> 01:31:28.600 no time for that crap, and I'll block it immediately. I do not 1184 01:31:28.720 --> 01:31:31.119 want it on my timeline. But just bit to be clear and just to 1185 01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:35.159 show that this is how sane people operate. If somebody posted something and they're 1186 01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:39.479 like, I'm uncomfortable with the amount of military aid that we're giving because I 1187 01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:45.079 think it intrinsically draws us in if something happens. That's how the assaults discuss. 1188 01:31:45.239 --> 01:31:46.239 Those are not the people you're back. No, not at all, 1189 01:31:46.600 --> 01:31:48.920 No, not at all. I can understand that saying, you know, 1190 01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:51.920 keep our money over here, but let them defend themselves. It's completely different. 1191 01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:57.119 I'm saying like crazy stuff like hey, Hitler and the Nazis were the 1192 01:31:57.199 --> 01:32:00.359 MAGA version of the nineteen forties, or Hitler was Rector. Hey Hitler had 1193 01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:03.439 some good points. I'm sorry to break it to you. He did not 1194 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:09.159 he was a royal a hole who I'm happy is burning in hell. Like 1195 01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:11.800 I've seen these people in my timeline. Like, actually, you know, 1196 01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:15.079 Hitler had some really good points about the Jews, and you know, so 1197 01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:17.039 I'm just like, all right, well you are blocked. I have no 1198 01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:20.640 time for that at all. Yeah, if you like, you could even 1199 01:32:20.680 --> 01:32:24.199 if you were like, you know, Hitler had a really good point. 1200 01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:28.720 He liked Cherry Pie and you're a big fan. Fine, Okay, I'm 1201 01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:31.039 still like, I'm still creeped out by you. Go away right, because 1202 01:32:31.079 --> 01:32:34.520 there's either no tolerant. Tell me the guy from Warrant. Tell me the 1203 01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:40.560 lead singer from Warrant likes Cherry Pie. Right, that's who you should. 1204 01:32:41.680 --> 01:32:43.960 So I don't. By the way, I don't think that was about Pie. 1205 01:32:44.119 --> 01:32:45.720 I just want to be clear of that song. But anyway, I'm 1206 01:32:45.720 --> 01:32:50.359 sorry what I'm just said. Yesterday there was like a big post of Ben 1207 01:32:50.439 --> 01:32:57.119 Shapiro, right, and Elon Musk going to Auschwitz and why would but they 1208 01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:00.039 were going there to prove that they were anti Semitic ors thing you got to 1209 01:33:00.119 --> 01:33:06.239 touch the shower, so dumb, Yeah, dude, I just but like 1210 01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:11.680 prove to who because the people you're if you have if people are asking you 1211 01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:14.920 to do that to prove that, you're like, they don't have good intentions. 1212 01:33:15.399 --> 01:33:17.560 No, But it's a tactic that is utilized. It's the what does 1213 01:33:18.079 --> 01:33:21.399 our buddy Pete call it? A defender deny right. It's just a version 1214 01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:25.760 of that where you're like my opponent, you know, because they'll get a 1215 01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:29.920 video of some dude, uh, you know, some dude who's not a 1216 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:31.920 good dude, right, and they'll be like, look that person said something 1217 01:33:32.039 --> 01:33:38.079 favorable do you you must denounce them, right, And they love doing that 1218 01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:42.119 in interviews. It's just that's just that because it's a great way to attack 1219 01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:47.359 your political opponent because people put up with that crap, so shosh, whole 1220 01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:50.920 thing, the whole thing. Man. It's just strange to me. It'd 1221 01:33:50.960 --> 01:33:55.479 be one thing if he's like, I'm I'm now working for Nancy Pelosi and 1222 01:33:55.560 --> 01:34:00.279 we're spokes like, okay, all right, Like, but holy cow, 1223 01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:05.119 man. It has definitely contributed to less time on the old Twitter box. 1224 01:34:05.520 --> 01:34:11.680 By the way, check this out. She needs something to be irritated about. 1225 01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:18.680 This is bonkers. So a California woman by the name of this Inventura 1226 01:34:19.159 --> 01:34:26.359 Rin spec speecher. I don't know pronounce it anyway. She fatally stabbed her 1227 01:34:26.439 --> 01:34:30.760 boyfriend a hundred times. Actually it was one hundred and eight, I believe, 1228 01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.640 but over one hundred times, and the hundred is going to be important 1229 01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:41.079 number, and she it was just he died, obviously. She then started 1230 01:34:41.159 --> 01:34:45.640 stabbing herself when police showed up because neighbor's called because somebody's being stabbed to death, 1231 01:34:46.159 --> 01:34:49.439 and she when the police come in there, and she starts stabbing herself. 1232 01:34:49.479 --> 01:34:51.399 In the next she got a bunch of wounds, but she made it. 1233 01:34:53.079 --> 01:34:57.319 So this happened in twenty eighteen, yesterday or no excuse me. Tuesday, 1234 01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:02.479 she finally received her sent for stabbing her boyfriend to death one hundred times. 1235 01:35:04.159 --> 01:35:10.159 She will do one hundred hours of community service, and I believe she's 1236 01:35:10.199 --> 01:35:15.479 on probation for two years. How is it impossible? Well, what's what's 1237 01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:20.319 the reason for that? What do I think the reasoning is? Yeah, 1238 01:35:20.319 --> 01:35:28.319 the state of reason. Her defense and the judge agreed said that the sentence 1239 01:35:28.319 --> 01:35:34.800 should be mitigated because she was doing it during a cannabis induced psychosis. So 1240 01:35:35.039 --> 01:35:42.359 basically so they decided I can't remember if he went to her house for the 1241 01:35:42.399 --> 01:35:44.760 other way. But they went to one of their houses, they smoked a 1242 01:35:44.840 --> 01:35:49.000 bong and then got busy, and then something happened while that was going on. 1243 01:35:49.279 --> 01:35:55.760 So she stabbed him one hundred times because she smoked. She smoked some 1244 01:35:55.880 --> 01:36:00.359 weed and toxicology. There was nothing in the marijuana and any of that, 1245 01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:03.439 just a bong with marijuana, and she was a frequent user. And then 1246 01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:10.439 she became like just stabby. Mcstaber said just yes, yeah, essentially, 1247 01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:16.000 right, and every stab wound she'll do one hour of community service. That's 1248 01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:19.039 a horrible think about this. Let's say, is that is that a judge 1249 01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:23.199 that has never smokeing weed before in their life? Because that is not it's 1250 01:36:23.279 --> 01:36:27.560 California. I assume they're all high at that time, right, I think 1251 01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:29.720 they're all high at that time. You know what it reminds me? I 1252 01:36:29.760 --> 01:36:33.800 remember that Reefer Madness video. Yeah, Like I was told that was racist 1253 01:36:33.880 --> 01:36:40.000 among other things, like and uh, there's not a they're both white in 1254 01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:45.159 this, so I guess they it's not that. But but like what you're 1255 01:36:45.199 --> 01:36:48.079 portraying there is like, hey, if you smoke weed, you'll murder your 1256 01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:53.640 loved one with a knife. So you smoke weed and soon you'll be listening 1257 01:36:53.680 --> 01:36:56.600 to jazz music and attacking white women. Yeah that's well, yeah, that 1258 01:36:56.760 --> 01:37:03.039 was that version of it. So uh oh yeah. Officers say that while 1259 01:37:03.079 --> 01:37:06.359 she established that they tased her, you had took multiple baton blows. She 1260 01:37:06.439 --> 01:37:09.000 did not want to go, She did want to go. She wanted to 1261 01:37:09.039 --> 01:37:12.079 kill herself. But uh, let me just say this, not me and 1262 01:37:12.399 --> 01:37:15.960 not you. I'm assuming ross and not rased. Agic from the Weather Channel 1263 01:37:15.039 --> 01:37:18.359 joins us, Now, no, not me. I don't want you don't 1264 01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:24.520 want to tell crazy people. The cost of stabbing a lover or former lover 1265 01:37:24.840 --> 01:37:30.800 might be an hour of community service per swing. So like perfectly, I've 1266 01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:36.199 seen somebody who's going through a really nasty, nasty divorce, like where it's 1267 01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:41.439 just vindictive horribleness, Like they might be in a frame of mind where they're 1268 01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:45.840 like just an hour, that's amazing, right, So right, but California, 1269 01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:48.199 going to California. So what do you do all right? Anyway? 1270 01:37:48.359 --> 01:37:54.159 Yes, yeah, well how about hours of rain? Speaking of hours, 1271 01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:57.960 so I don't know if I'll get punished for it, but I already start 1272 01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.720 to see the rain. Now we talked last hour. It will get into 1273 01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:03.680 the triad and just about there now getting into Winston, Salem, Greensboro. 1274 01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:06.640 A few showers, but it's on the way. If you're not getting rain 1275 01:38:06.760 --> 01:38:10.319 yet, you will over the next few hours as it spreads west east this 1276 01:38:10.479 --> 01:38:14.520 morning. Also some fog around. It's going to be a warm late January 1277 01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:17.920 day, upper sixties to low seventies with the rain and maybe even a rumble 1278 01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:23.079 of thunder coming through. Still some showers tonight. Listen to these lows well 1279 01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:26.159 above even the daytime highs for this time of the year. Load to mid 1280 01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:30.560 sixties, and then Friday we have more scattered showers, maybe an afternoon thunderstorm. 1281 01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.640 Again in the upper sixties to low seventies, and not too much changing 1282 01:38:33.760 --> 01:38:36.680 Saturday. There might be a brief low Saturday morning, but more showers in 1283 01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:42.159 the afternoon into the nighttime hours. Early showers Sunday, but we're still in 1284 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:45.960 the mid to upper sixties over the weekend. We'll cool off and get multiple 1285 01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:48.399 dry days in a row early next week, but could end up here with 1286 01:38:49.199 --> 01:38:53.239 maybe an inch or two of rainfall. Still think that the heaviest rain is 1287 01:38:53.319 --> 01:38:58.840 west southwest, but still the next few days don't expect much sun and if 1288 01:38:58.880 --> 01:39:01.359 there are periods of dry weather maybe a few hours here and there, but 1289 01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:06.239 certainly not going to be great for any outdoor action. Maybe some sun by 1290 01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:12.119 Sunday afternoon, no promises. All right, thanks sir, every one, 1291 01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:15.640 Okay, yep, we'll chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on. This 1292 01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:18.840 is one six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four to 1293 01:39:18.880 --> 01:39:26.000 five w PTI and the Triad eight fifty three. It's the Bloomberg Time, 1294 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:30.520 Jeff Bellinger, what's happening? Good morning, Casey. The government numbers machine 1295 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:34.680 was quiet until now this week. Turns out the economy was much stronger than 1296 01:39:34.760 --> 01:39:39.720 expected at the end of last year. The government just reported the gross domestic 1297 01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:44.319 product expanded at an annual rate of three point three percent in the fourth quarter. 1298 01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:47.000 Economists, we're expecting to hear that the GDP grew at a two percent 1299 01:39:47.119 --> 01:39:53.039 rate. Number of workers filing new claims for unemployment benefits bounced back last week 1300 01:39:53.119 --> 01:39:57.479 after a big decline the prior week. Two hundred and fourteen thousand workers signed 1301 01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:00.000 up for benefits. That was twenty five thousand more more than the prior week, 1302 01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:04.479 which was shortened by a holiday. A one more report no change last 1303 01:40:04.600 --> 01:40:09.239 month, and the number of orders for big ticket durable goods. Stock market 1304 01:40:09.279 --> 01:40:13.399 futures look good after these reports came out. Our futures are up eighty two 1305 01:40:13.479 --> 01:40:17.600 points. Boeing got mixed news from the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency gave 1306 01:40:17.680 --> 01:40:21.640 the go ahead for seven thirty seven Max nine jets to go back into service 1307 01:40:23.079 --> 01:40:28.159 after airline's complete safety inspections on the planes, but for now, the FAA 1308 01:40:28.359 --> 01:40:31.439 is not allowing Boeing to ramp up Max nine production. Wants to be sure 1309 01:40:31.479 --> 01:40:38.119 the company has resolved its quality control issues first. In case law enforcement agency 1310 01:40:38.199 --> 01:40:43.439 is about to lose a potentially valuable investigational tool. Police will no longer be 1311 01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:47.720 able to request video from ring doorbells and security cameras. Rings part of Amazon 1312 01:40:47.840 --> 01:40:51.079 dot Com. It did not give a reason for the change in policy, 1313 01:40:51.399 --> 01:40:58.039 but the company's relationship with police has been under criticism from policy advtse Yes, 1314 01:40:58.159 --> 01:41:00.359 okay, good, because that's the reason. Let's just be honest. I've 1315 01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:04.239 seen these stories where people are out of their minds. Oh yeah, bring 1316 01:41:04.399 --> 01:41:08.000 providing this stuff, and they just said, you know, it's easier just 1317 01:41:08.079 --> 01:41:11.680 to do business this way. All right, appreciate it, thank you, 1318 01:41:11.840 --> 01:41:15.199 Okay, have a good day. Yeah, right, in fact roster, 1319 01:41:15.279 --> 01:41:17.760 we play the audio in Canada. Hold on, I'll find it. I 1320 01:41:18.079 --> 01:41:20.960 got the thing open here? That was what last week? I don't think 1321 01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:25.520 I got to it. Yeah, here we go. This is this is 1322 01:41:26.159 --> 01:41:32.239 literally one of the top law enforcement guys in Canada asking Canadians. And it 1323 01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:36.079 has to do with the ring doorbell cameras and porch pirates. All right, 1324 01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:41.039 all right, here we go. Ventral police are urging quebecers to not post 1325 01:41:41.079 --> 01:41:45.800 those clips online because they say there could be a case for defamation. You 1326 01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:50.119 cannot post the images yourself because you have to remember that in Canada we have 1327 01:41:50.199 --> 01:41:56.640 a presumption of innocence and posting that picture could be a violation of private life. 1328 01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.720 Instead, he says, if anything is stolen, all if you have 1329 01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:05.399 proof that somebody might have stolen something, then call the police. Give the 1330 01:42:05.479 --> 01:42:10.560 proof to the police and then we'll do the investigation. We'll bring that person 1331 01:42:10.640 --> 01:42:15.720 to justice. And I just can't shut up. All right, so let 1332 01:42:15.800 --> 01:42:18.279 me get this straight. You just they don't want to post the pictures of 1333 01:42:18.359 --> 01:42:21.479 that. So your beef is with the video for top What if they don't 1334 01:42:21.560 --> 01:42:28.000 context it? What if I just what if ross you had that woman come 1335 01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:34.520 looking for change right quarters, and you obviously you have surveillance on your camera. 1336 01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:40.199 Yeah yeah, right there. Yeah, now you didn't you didn't like 1337 01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:43.720 show her one the video or all of that. But if somebody, some 1338 01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:46.680 politician, told you couldn't post a video of a situation that literally took place 1339 01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:53.319 on your property film with your camera, screw all, y'all. How's that 1340 01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:59.039 right there? Right? Yeah? And so, And the thing with porch 1341 01:42:59.119 --> 01:43:02.039 pirates is if you supposed a video of some dude like they like they tend 1342 01:43:02.079 --> 01:43:06.640 to do, where a car pulls up it's idland in the street and they 1343 01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:12.479 haul uh, well, they'll some will run up there, and others will 1344 01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:16.079 like nonchalantly and be like, ah, I'm here to see if you if 1345 01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:20.720 you want this booklet, and then they grab packages and leave. Even if 1346 01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:26.640 you don't provide context, how come you can't post that video? Is how's 1347 01:43:26.680 --> 01:43:29.800 that defamation? That's literally a video of what happened. People are drawing their 1348 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:33.640 own conclusions right there. And also then we lose out on the goodness of 1349 01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:36.239 do you see the video of the old black man who comes out with the 1350 01:43:36.359 --> 01:43:42.880 shotgun and that's good, that's so good, dude, that guy you know, 1351 01:43:43.279 --> 01:43:46.560 and and he's wearing his his military hat still you know, the veterans 1352 01:43:46.600 --> 01:43:50.720 hat too, and it's like in the photo in the photo that accompanied it. 1353 01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:54.760 And I'm like, that dude had to be a known commodity, right, 1354 01:43:54.960 --> 01:43:57.840 Why would you live in the neighborhood. You don't go to anywhere near 1355 01:43:57.920 --> 01:44:01.920 that dude's house, although now probably not even if we didn't know, you 1356 01:44:02.039 --> 01:44:05.560 know. Oh man, all right, I give into the Philly thing today, 1357 01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:10.880 but that's just that's just me being me. So but we'll touch on 1358 01:44:10.960 --> 01:44:15.199 it tomorrow. We will do that and so much more. And then remind 1359 01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:18.960 your Pete Callander will be with us. That'll be in the third hour and 1360 01:44:19.239 --> 01:44:23.439 we always look forward to that on a Friday. So we'll see you then, 1361 01:44:24.279 --> 01:44:24.800 have a good one.
