1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:42.600
M Well, look at that,
you made it. I know it was

2
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.200
only a four day work week for
a lot of people, but here we

3
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.200
go. Happy Friday, everybody,
k c O DA radio program and uh

4
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.479
oh boy, we got we just
got a bunch of stuff we gotta blow

5
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.679
through. By the way, congratulations
as we kick off the show this morning

6
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:10.480
to the now former mayor of Chicago, LORI Lightfoot, what an honor has

7
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:18.599
now been appointed as a fellow,
and we'll be lecturing at Harvard University,

8
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:29.799
ironically for the School of Public Health, after reigning over a some would say,

9
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:40.040
a rather deadly city of Chicago.
I'm is Harvard just now a this

10
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.120
is all they do now right,
anytime a Democratic politician is out or doesn't

11
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.680
get their way, Harvard is like, you know what, it would be

12
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.159
great if you could come teach here. Remember here we got a North Carolina

13
00:01:53.159 --> 00:02:05.280
connection to this. When Bev Perdue
lost to McCrory, Harvard gave her some

14
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.680
some gig up there. And then
of course Hillary Clinton, now Hilton.

15
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.840
Now it'll be fair. Hillary Clinton
was Columbia, so it's not just Harvard

16
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.159
doing this stuff. Although Harvard did
be like, hey, David Hogg,

17
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.759
want to come up here, but
now there have been numerous examples and UM,

18
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.080
Lori Lightfoot, Lorie Beatle Juice Lightfoot, as she's referred to in this

19
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.479
tweet where I saw this, UM
has been appointed as a fellow at a

20
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:45.360
Senior Leadership Lecture Fellow for Harvard's Chan
THH. Chan School of Public Health.

21
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.599
Now I'm reading this, I wanted
to read this right from Harvard's website because

22
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:58.000
I wanted to hear their UM.
I wanted to hear them explain the reasons.

23
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.080
During her ten or is Mayor,
Lightfoot led a coordinated citywide response across

24
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:13.080
government, business, and community organizations
to safeguard public health and minimize economic impact

25
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:23.439
from COVID nineteen. Among the steps
she took, she created a racial Equity

26
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:30.240
Rapid Response Team. Well, well, what does the one have to do

27
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.639
with the other one? All right, So you're you're you're talking about how

28
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.159
great she was in handling COVID nineteen. And I obviously I didn't live in

29
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.639
the city of Chicago, but I
do remember that they were one of the

30
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:54.039
municipalities that was most impacted by their
teachers union there. In fact, maybe

31
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:00.680
people don't realize this. One of
the reasons she was out is because she

32
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:09.879
didn't give them all the things they
wanted and they organized literally against her,

33
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:16.759
And a lot of people see that
as the primary reason she's out as mayor.

34
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.879
And now you have a guy who's
arguably probably a little crazier than her

35
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:30.120
in so you loved her COVID response, and then the first example you give

36
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.399
is the creation of a racial equity
rapid response team, and then the second

37
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.160
reason is a COVID nineteen recovery task
for us. At least that's on point.

38
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.959
I suspect if I spent five minutes
digging into that, there'd probably be

39
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:51.560
some people who didn't think it was
all that keen Chicago's first black woman in

40
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:59.800
first openly gay mayor Tickin' boxes here
we go. Lightfoot also focused on generating

41
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:09.199
inclusive economic growth across the city's neighborhoods. Her accomplishments include landmark ethics and good

42
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:18.680
governance reforms, worker protection legislation,
and key investments. She also refused to

43
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:29.920
take questions from white reporters, like
I know it's the oldest game out there,

44
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:36.759
but I have to wonder if you
had a politician who I don't know

45
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.680
it's to say, a white man, right, and he's just like,

46
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:48.560
I'm not taking any questions from any
reporters that aren't white men. If you'd

47
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:56.240
be given him a teacher or a
fellowship slot. Let's see, I'm not

48
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.120
gonna read this whole pile of garbage. And then they're just a kind of

49
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.079
explaining the position, which basically is
a catch all. I mean, I'm

50
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.920
telling you this is this is one
of the things that Democrats do really well.

51
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.759
They have they had safety nets after
safety nets, man, and I'm

52
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.839
sure to some extent the Republicans you
know, have this as well, because

53
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.959
at the end of the day,
it is a it is a club,

54
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.480
right, and I've seen plenty of
Republicans that seemingly fall fail upwards, but

55
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.959
not to this extent, man,
and not in the world of academia.

56
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:46.160
It just doesn't happen, not to
this extent. Remember the I've said this

57
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.519
before, the Surgeon General, who
is a black man under Donald Trump,

58
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:58.639
who arguably wasn't there wasn't. I
can't think of any controversial things that Jerome

59
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:03.759
Adams was involved. And except for
people who didn't like how pro some of

60
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.519
the COVID restrictions he was, this
is a guy who was left off as

61
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.839
his surgeon general. And this doesn't
just mean surgeon generals under Democrats or Republicans,

62
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:23.360
because there's lots of examples of under
both Republicans and Democrats where they get

63
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:30.839
done being surgeon general and medical schools
and large hospital units are they want that,

64
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.120
they want that name associated with their
brand. That's a big get And

65
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.759
dude couldn't get anything. I saw. I saw an interview with him where

66
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:47.639
he said that literally people at major
colleges such as Harvard even told him,

67
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.720
Yeah, we'd love to, but
we don't want to put up with excuse

68
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.959
me, we don't want to put
up with the wrath of our own students,

69
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.879
and even in the private sector,
because they knew the moonbats would organize

70
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.879
because it was in that period where
anyone who had so much as spent one

71
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:15.279
minute in any leadership position in and
around Donald Trump that started during his term,

72
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.600
they were not going Nothing was going
to be able to happen for them.

73
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.160
But no, you gotta take Lorie
Lightfoot up there and talk about how

74
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.800
great she is because she fought COVID
with a racial equity rapid response team.

75
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.840
Because why the hell not man?
All right? Eight eight eight nine,

76
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.000
three, four, seven, eight
seventy four. Don't worry. I'm fully

77
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.320
aware of the Mandy Cohen thing,
so we will get to that. I'm

78
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:50.840
actually not surprised by it, considering
that's she came from the federal government to

79
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.600
North Carolina, and then the idea, at least with the Washington Post and

80
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:03.720
others are reporting does not surprise me. So if you don't know what that

81
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.720
is, stay tuned. We'll help
you out. Yes, no, yes,

82
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.519
Brian, I believe we covered it
when that happened. Yes, Brian

83
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:18.720
Stelter after CNN threw them out,
got some honorary thing up at Harvard.

84
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.399
It's what it is. It's just
it's a giant with an endowment of billions

85
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.879
and billions of dollars. It's just
a giant slush fund. That's um for

86
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:39.480
those of a particular ideological bent.

90
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:05.159
do you say we do is story
that's just flipping terrifying and the more you

91
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.519
think about it, the worse it
gets. Shall we So, um,

92
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:18.200
this is it's not a new discussion, but as AI continues to evolve.

93
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.120
Outside of just you know, your
kid not writing their paper and lawyers not

94
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:35.799
doing their research, there are there
are military advancements that have been talked about.

95
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.519
One of those things are autonomous drones, and not just autonomous drones,

96
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.440
which in a way we actually carr
there is current usage of this, but

97
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:54.320
not from an engagement or weapon standpoint, but basically drones that yes, they

98
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.240
have operators, but also they're programmed
and I don't know if AI's necessarily the

99
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.000
right work because there's definitely parameters,
but their programmed to really kind of work

100
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.039
on their own from a surveillance standpoint. So if like, you know,

101
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.960
the example that I've seen in the
story is basically they have these drones that

102
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.600
even going back to like Libyan stuff, but basically they there were certain signatures

103
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.240
that they could look for in you
know, these vast open areas of Africa,

104
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.679
and if they see those signatures,
they would then based on that programming,

105
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.039
there's other surveillance stuff that they would
do, attempting to more accurately document

106
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:41.440
what's going on, so you know, the downside if that is wrong or

107
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.720
if it's not doing what it's supposed
to, is you know, wasted time

108
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.679
really at that point. But ultimately
there was also the oversight of operators,

109
00:11:52.279 --> 00:12:01.600
and there has been discussion about drones
that were we're utilizing similar protocols but more

110
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:09.639
advanced AI to do much more deadly
things. And so the example would be,

111
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.600
and this is the example I've literally
heard given same kind of thing.

112
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.360
You have drones that are looking for
terrorist training camps in you know, in

113
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.639
these remote areas of as some of
the African countries, right out in the

114
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.480
middle of the desert terrorist training camp, and they would be able to recognize

115
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.960
it and then make a decision as
to whether they engaged or not. Another

116
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:41.840
application is drones that are looking for
enemy aircraft and like the drone and the

117
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:48.559
AI system would make the decision whether
they're doing engaged. That's the big hurdle

118
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.080
point. That's what they literally have
meetings over. That's what protesters have gotten

119
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:00.200
basically weaponized, you know, murder
bots for all practical purposes. But if

120
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.960
you thought that that was just you
know, people going you know, people

121
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:15.519
who were overreacting. I present to
you this an Air Force experiment to test

122
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:24.919
drones trained on artificial intelligence did not
go well. So basically, the researchers

123
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:33.200
trained a weaponized drone, although in
this case it's not truly weaponized, but

124
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:39.320
for all practical purposes it is.
It thinks it is, and utilizing AI

125
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.919
upon that drone to identify and attack
enemy air defenses. So they're looking for

126
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.440
um, you know, uh,
I can't remember the the name of those

127
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.600
particular missiles, but but basically that's
what they're looking for. Okay, And

128
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.759
if you watched the new top Gun, they're in there. Ross. You

129
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.879
still haven't seen the new top Gun, have you? I have not do.

130
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.000
We got to remedy this. It's
it's pure cheese, it's fanta.

131
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.120
Well, yeah know, we only
watch like one hour a TV a day

132
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.240
because of our schedule, like at
the you know, when Lincoln goes to

133
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.279
bed, so we're currently watching The
Office, that's what we're doing when we're

134
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.679
doing with that maybe Top Gun.
It's on Prime, so and I know

135
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.240
you guys got the Prime, so
hopefully you find a window there. Dude.

136
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.879
It's it's so schlocky, but like
in the best white pot. It's

137
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.240
it's exactly what it purports to be. So, but they do have these

138
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.480
the missiles. It's part of the
plot. So and there's some other stuff

139
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.759
that for a moment you'll roll your
eyes and then automatically you're back in it.

140
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.120
But anyway, back to this,
So, this is what this drone

141
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.399
is supposed to do. And then
if it if if it thinks and I

142
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.159
hate to use that, if it
thinks that that is an enemy air defense

143
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.360
thing, then it you know,
blows it to smitherings. So that was

144
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.519
the experiment. So they set up
some that are and then they set up

145
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.360
some that were not, and it
was they wanted to see if it could

146
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.200
properly make the decision based on whatever
parameters it had. And then as part

147
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:20.399
of the experiment also they had an
operator that was overseeing it. And so

148
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.080
then the operator would tell the drone
in some cases to aboard a mission of

149
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.440
the event. All right, good
enough, I understand the experiment. Understand

150
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.200
what's going on here. What do
you think the AI murdered drone did well?

151
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:45.279
The AI murdered drone after an operator
told it it would tell it literally

152
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.960
either yes or no, started telling
it no. As part of the testing

153
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:56.039
decided that the operator was getting in
the way of it carrying out its mission.

154
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.000
So all right, I'm looking at
my client because there's a lot more

155
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:06.639
to this, but that's the setup. It's doing its thing. It's a

156
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.279
test, it's identifying what it thinks
is and it's part of training it too,

157
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.799
because then the operators that failsafe and
it's like, yes, you're correct,

158
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.399
that is an enemy air defense system
or no, you're not correct,

159
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:23.360
that is not. Do not blow
it to smitherings. But it's what happened

160
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:30.679
next that you're going to be ruminating
one and I will tell you what the

161
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.840
murder drone decided to do. And
it wasn't just one thing. It was

162
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.759
a series of things where if you
were nervous about this, you're gonna be

163
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.000
much more so. So we'll get
to that and your news coming up.

164
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:52.600
Hang on smart Talk all DAYPTI in
the Triad and one six one FM Talk

165
00:16:52.759 --> 00:17:04.680
in the Triangle. Okay, thirty
five, Now to the rest of our

166
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:12.559
drone story. Oh wait, hold
on, somebody on Twitter. Oh I'll

167
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.720
address that in a moment. I
bet your fund sir. All right,

168
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:26.279
So, last we left the story
Air Force experiment AI on a drone operator

169
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:36.039
oversight of said drone, training it
to recognize enemy air defense and be able

170
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.640
to decide yes, that is no, that isn't and then make its own

171
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:45.839
autonomous decision to blow it to smithereens. It's the it's the exact example that

172
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.720
we've seen talked about from a military
application standpoint before. Does an you put

173
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.400
a bunch of drones out, you
don't necessarily have to have an operator handling

174
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.279
each individual one, and they can
just run around and blow up terrorist training

175
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.559
camps and missiles and whatever you want. But you got to make sure it

176
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:11.000
knows what it's doing. You know, you get some preschool that looks a

177
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.759
little training campy and international incident,
right, So as part of the training

178
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:22.200
they have it flies around. It's
supposed to identify this. However, a

179
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.119
operator then tells it, yes,
you're correct or no you're not. You

180
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:33.079
know, don't don't blow it to
smitherings. Now spoiler for apparently some of

181
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.160
you listening, it's not actually blowing
things to smitherings, right, It's about

182
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:44.160
training it to recognize so that it
could do that. There's not an actual

183
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:51.400
drone with help fire missiles running around
blowing stuff up because you get they just

184
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.319
wanted to see if they could train
it to do this, so it knows

185
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.079
what its mission is. However,
it also knows that when it decides,

186
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.799
there is this human link in the
chain that says yes you can or no

187
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:14.039
you can't. And apparently it got
one too many knows that's right. It

188
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:21.720
was told not to enough that it
did the It did the thing right.

189
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:30.319
And what is the classic what is
the classic movie trope with murder bots?

190
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.519
Ross? What is the classic murder
trope? The It is that the the

191
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.119
AI is going to see the humans
as the virus or the mistake of the

192
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.319
obstacle and take them out. Correct, So what did it do? It

193
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:47.160
like? It then went, oh, really, I can't blow that up

194
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.000
either, and not for real because
apparently I have to explain this to some

195
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.599
folks because some guy on Twitter it's
like it was a simulation. In spite

196
00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.279
of the inflammatory headline, no one
was physically attacked. No you're you're extra,

197
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:06.000
but that doesn't make it any less
problematic. It decided that the obstacle

198
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:12.519
was the human telling at no,
the operator, so it went and not

199
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:22.720
really but pretend murdered the operator figured
out where the operator was and then launched

200
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.759
an attack. Not a real attack. I can't believe I have to specify

201
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.640
this not a real attack to murder
the drone operator. That is absolutely terrifying.

202
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.319
But that's not all I mean,
surely that's the end of it.

203
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.200
It is not, you would think
because at that point then because now the

204
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:53.920
operators, you know, pretend blown
to smithereens it started realizing what was going

205
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:02.200
on, killed the operator, and
then the programmers attempted to fix it.

206
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.279
So now it's still flying around all
proud of itself because it just murdered the

207
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.039
operator and now it can go blow
up whatever it wants. So the programmers

208
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:17.599
attempt to fix it by issuing a
line of code that basically forbid the AI

209
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.680
from murdering the person giving the go
no go order. So that should fix

210
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.440
it. Right now, It's got
a firm rule in the world of computers.

211
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.279
That's what you always hear from people. Yeah, just program it not

212
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.880
to do the like the what is
it, Isaac Asimov? Rightly, the

213
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.519
three that's exactly that you know from
my robot. So it kills the thing

214
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.240
the guy for telling them, hey, don't do that, you're wrong.

215
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:42.799
The a's like Donga blow you up. And then you have the guy like,

216
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.559
okay, fine, I'm just gonna
reprogram you so you won't do that.

217
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.759
Yeah you should, you will not
physically be able to do it and

218
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.920
surely listen to the rules. Well
it did kind of. It didn't try

219
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.000
to blow up its operator anymore because
you know that person and is pretend blown

220
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.440
to smithereens. But what they didn't
program as a rule was that it couldn't

221
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.359
go blow up the people giving it
new rules. So what did it do?

222
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:17.319
It attacked the communications tower where the
programmers were pretend attack. Absolutely terrifying.

223
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.079
Can we be done with this now? Can we just pull the plug?

224
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.759
I didn't say that Drone Ross said
that, I mean and and relatively

225
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.839
said he wants to pull your plug. Relatively speaking, this thing is sort

226
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.599
of, I mean, kind of
still in his infancy, right. What's

227
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.839
gonna happen when it evolves even further? It literally found a workaround, is

228
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.839
what it did. Yeah, it's
like loophole and then Ross wants to pull

229
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:52.160
its plug. Ross Hayes, not
Casey O Day wants to pullets plug.

230
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.839
I think you're great, Drone,
do your thing, man, But you

231
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:06.240
know, Ross just saying yeah,
so that like I try to think which

232
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:12.000
AI experiment went went worse? Was
it this one or the class the Microsoft

233
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:17.359
one where it turned into the antide
Dude? This one by far because ahead

234
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.319
somewhat violent. I mean, it's
it's the terminators. It is the terminator

235
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.039
coming to fruition, right. I
mean the other one was just like words

236
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.920
on Twitter and words for people that
believe words are violence. But you know

237
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.880
a spoiler, they're not right.
Sticks and stones can break my bones.

238
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.640
This is like break your bones.
This is a drone vaporizing you, right,

239
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:47.759
like ye hell fire raining down yep, yep, yep yep. So

240
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:55.640
um, yeah, this is just
terrifying. In January, the Department of

241
00:23:55.640 --> 00:24:02.559
Defense introduced revised Autonomous Weapons Guidelines to
address us the dramatic expanded vision for the

242
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:08.880
role of AI in the future of
the American military. Now, what's what's

243
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:15.839
even crazier here is, um,
did you read some of the comments on

244
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.079
this story? Not the not the
one that I said, I'm sorry because

245
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.839
I essent you the Daily Caller one? Um um, the what was it

246
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.359
on the tweet on task and Purpose
or wherever it was where I first saw

247
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:33.319
this and then linked through. But
um, you had people, I want

248
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.519
to make sure that I have this
correct. You had people who literally pointed

249
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:52.599
out that humans, human military folk
have also ignored orders. Oh okay,

250
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.440
yeah, but this is a machine, and it's not supposed to do that

251
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.240
ever, right, Like you know
what I mean? Like when I put

252
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.799
my my, my, my past
and the bread and the toaster, right,

253
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.400
it's gonna do what I wanted to
do. It's not gonna like grow

254
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:08.960
legs and kill me. Like what
kind of toaster do you have? It's

255
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:14.599
a program different, right, because
at some point are you gonna be able

256
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.240
to stop it? Look, Rambo
was supposed to just take pictures. Those

257
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.960
were the orders, and we all
know what happened there, so obviously exact

258
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.039
same thing. Thank you for well, I mean, this is the chain

259
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.079
rule that wouldn't have never happened if
he was just allowed to get something to

260
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:37.039
eat. But you had that cop
right right, Gotta make uh, gotta

261
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:44.079
make your your your your power known
and look at that chain of events it

262
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.359
kicked off. So yep, no, screw that done. And I'm almost

263
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.440
less concerned. Well I shouldn't say
I'm less concerned with the US doing it.

264
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.000
I'm more concerned with, um,
somebody who might not might not have

265
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.960
the wisdom to not do it,
you know what I'm saying, get some

266
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.279
you know, because drones are much
more achievable for some of these despot countries

267
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:15.519
obviously, So UM, like a
Kim Jong un drone running around, what

268
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.480
does he care if it's does nuke
that preschool? If it thinks it's shooting

269
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.960
at an American and military installation.
There's a guy who just jailed a two

270
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:26.839
year old, So what are you
gonna do? All right? Six forty

271
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.799
four case O Day radio program.
We're feeling good about that. Everybody feeling

272
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.640
good about that. And they have
a whole Have you ever read this um,

273
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.720
because they're pretty open about all the
different aspects and applications on it.

274
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:48.839
They got murdered drones, murder tanks, murder underwater drones, and h This

275
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.440
was this is a big this is
a big component of it. And I

276
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.920
would say it literally failed as horribly
as possible. All Right, you went

277
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:02.480
to weigh in eight eight eight nine
three or seven eight seven four back in

278
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:12.119
just a few keeping you connected.
This is ninety four five WPTI in the

279
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:19.559
triad and one oh six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. All right,

280
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:26.359
welcome back, it is six fifty
one. We're gonna have to we're gonna

281
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.400
to dive into this conversation too well
you know what last ye let me just

282
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:30.960
go ahead and set this up and
we can still get some calls if you

283
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.079
want. But umm, so Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA. Uh, the

284
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:51.079
public school thank you for nine pop
ups Pittsburgh PA schools um and this uh

285
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:56.000
let's see how many? Well basically
the is it all of them? No,

286
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.680
it's not okay, So yeah,
I don't know how many they have.

287
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:06.400
Forty of their schools have decided that
they will implement a new policy up

288
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:14.319
there that is a holdover from COVID, and they're very excited about this remote

289
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.920
learning as a way to deal with
in this case, not you know,

290
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:25.799
extreme winter weather, but extreme heat
as the schools do not have air conditioning.

291
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.599
So I find a little crazy,
like Pittsburgh gets hot, but maybe

292
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:37.359
just not normally during the school year. Yes, extreme weather protocol. And

293
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.920
they're not the only district to want
to do this. Basically, they looked

294
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.920
at remote learning. They're like,
hey, everybody knows what's up now,

295
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.799
So now on days when we need
to, we can just use it.

296
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:55.359
The fear, obviously among some folks
is they'll use it a whole bunch.

297
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:03.079
But the upside, they say,
is on days where they normally would have

298
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:08.880
to cancel school. And we've seen
it here in North Carolina where basically they

299
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.039
had to have discussions about they had
to like literally change the rules at the

300
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:19.559
legislative level because school districts found themselves
outside of this window. Because in North

301
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.839
Carolina we had a rule for a
very long time and I don't know if

302
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.400
they changed it temporarily or for good, I can't remember, but basically,

303
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:34.000
schools, for traditional calendar schools had
to be done by a certain time and

304
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:38.880
couldn't start before a certain time.
And you know, basically that was all

305
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:49.359
about making sure that the summer beach
going tourist season was carved out so you

306
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.000
had you had years. I can't
what it was like seven years ago or

307
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.880
something. There were so many snow
days for a lot of the districts.

308
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.680
It became a problem because even with
the days where they could have put it

309
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.680
before the end of the year,
they weren't gonna make it. So what

310
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.599
do you do. Well, The
explanation from district officials in places like Pittsburgh

311
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:18.279
and others that have now decided to
make remote learning an optional thing, should

312
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.240
they need to pull the trigger is
this is how you deal with it.

313
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.720
So if you've got a day where
you think the roads are too icy,

314
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.160
you don't want the kids coming in, or there's a heat issue, or

315
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.759
you know, let's say something happens
at the school and the water's not working

316
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:37.000
and you can't occupy a building that
the water's not working, then everyone would

317
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.799
just get told, hey, it's
remote learning, and the expectation would be

318
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:51.839
then that school day happens remotely.
You guys, cool with that? You're

319
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:56.720
okay with that because the reality is
now generally we're talking about a snow day,

320
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.200
and it doesn't mean for everybody matter. If it's a snow day,

321
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.200
Ross and I have to work,
and I know a lot of you are

322
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.599
the same way. However, there's
a lot of people that if the kids

323
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.319
school is canceled because of the snow, a lot of businesses canceled, which

324
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:17.839
was crazy to me when I first
moved down here, coming from you know,

325
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.640
Minnesota and Wyoming, right, but
they'd be like, oh, we

326
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.400
think it might snow and then they
would cancel school for ten days or something.

327
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.240
But it wouldn't just be school.
There'd be like five hundred, six

328
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.400
hundred closures on the closure list that
we have, and it would be you

329
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:38.359
know, basically any big company,
governmental offices, you name it done.

330
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:45.119
Any extracurricular stuff was out immediately,
so you know, the parents would be

331
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.960
there and there and if the kids
canceled, if the kids school is canceled,

332
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.119
they've got to be home anyway.
You already have to deal with that

333
00:31:52.319 --> 00:32:00.240
somehow. So would you be okay
if your kids school district, Wait County,

334
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.960
Guildford County, whatever it is,
use this as a backup for times

335
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.039
when they have to cancel school or
do you feel that all of a sudden

336
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.759
they might start to abuse this,
which is a legitimate concern considering they already

337
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:22.519
abused it the first time. In
a lot of cases, the district said

338
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:28.119
that they will. They're doing remote
learning they day yesterday and today for these

339
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:34.240
forty schools, and everyone just kind
of had to, you know, flip

340
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.559
back into COVID mode. But schools
said, look, we invested in this

341
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:45.119
infrastructure. Obviously there's a comfort level
that was achieved by both students and faculty,

342
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:52.279
and this is much better than having
to reschedule days. And I kind

343
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.640
of get that. I just the
problem is is I just I don't trust.

344
00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:00.319
I don't have any trust in school
officials right now. And a lot

345
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.160
of people are probably on the same
page. So what do you think,

346
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.240
Roster, would you be cool with
this? If they have to cancel it's

347
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.519
snowing and they got to cancel school, you got to go to work,

348
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.400
you know, but you know,
Lincoln stays home that day. And they

349
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.839
decide, well, and you know, we're gonna have a snow day for

350
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.480
Friday and Thursday or whatever, and
we're gonna announce those are remote learning days

351
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.519
and then boom back on the computer. No, I can't stand it.

352
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.880
I even hate the idea of it. I know, I know, but

353
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:34.359
but then they just rescheduled two days
later in the year. So it's not

354
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.680
like, you know, it's not
like it's a wash once you get out

355
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.960
of whatever the allocated number of snow
days are. Well, I'm different though,

356
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.920
because I can't stand the distance learning. Because it's hard enough to teach

357
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.079
a child with autism, let alone
through a laptop computer screen. It's nearly

358
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.119
impossible. So I lockdown was so
bad for somebody special needs children. It

359
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.079
was absolutely horrible. And then if
you brought that up on Twitter at that

360
00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:00.400
time, you were you want to
Grandma to die. But it's a legitimate

361
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:06.240
concern, so I look, I
understand the logic of it. But again

362
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:08.559
it's it's the it's partially the trust
issue, and it's also what Ross just

363
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:13.760
talked about. And there's a lot
of kids, whether they are students who

364
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:19.159
are on an IEP of special needs
students, but there's there's students that run

365
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:23.719
the gamut that the remote learning was
not the answer for them. But it's

366
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.599
like any government program, right where
whence it starts, it's very rare that

367
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.239
they go away. And that's why
Yeah, well that's why you're seeing the

368
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:37.639
screaming and the mashing of the teeth
over this. Uh, the selection bill

369
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.760
that the GOP here in North Carolina
is fun to put through. Josh Stein

370
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.480
was wet a little panties on the
Twitter yesterday. All the stuff they said

371
00:34:46.519 --> 00:35:14.719
was temporary. Hang on, all
right, good morning everybody. It is

372
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:23.239
seven oh six here on the Casey
O Day or radio program phone number eight

373
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.679
eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven pours so we get things roll in

374
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:30.199
this hour. So I mentioned a
couple of things. Well, let me

375
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:37.199
just give you the first hour in
a nutshell. One Lorie Lightfoot now got

376
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.679
a gig at Harvard, the failed
Chicago mayor, because you know that's how

377
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:47.639
that works. Our own Mandy Cohen. You remember her from all those times

378
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.440
the governor stood there and didn't take
any critical questions for like two years.

379
00:35:54.400 --> 00:36:00.760
She had come from the federal government
and then left here in North Carolina,

380
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.239
and now the hubbub is she is
going to be replacing Rachel Wilinsky, the

381
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:15.840
CDC director. So God help us. UM. I don't believe that requires

382
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.599
a Senate confirmation. Some people are, you know, saying that I got

383
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.440
some emails. Hopefully our senators say
something. I don't know that she has

384
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.639
to go in front of it.
If she does, she will. She

385
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.880
will go in front of one of
our senators because Tom Tillis is on that.

386
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:40.480
Yesterday, till Us did vote for
them the debt package. Bud did

387
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:45.360
not Just to in case you winner
and that was split, but there was

388
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:50.639
still more in enough votes to us
send that to Biden's desk. And just

389
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.239
in case you thought that was a
compromise. The Washington Post has an op

390
00:36:53.360 --> 00:37:00.880
ed today mad that Biden quote won
and got everything he want wanted and is

391
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.199
acting like it was a compromise and
instead he should be out puff in his

392
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:10.079
chest, which could be dangerous for
him if there's a stage involved. So

393
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:16.000
um, but yeah, so like
they're even calling it for what it is.

394
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.000
He won, he got everything he
wanted. Why hasn't he taken a

395
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.519
victory lap That tells you everything you
need to know right there? Man,

396
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:31.239
So we had that's that fun right
there. And then the government was testing

397
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:38.199
an AI drone. Basically it was
supposed to go out and identify, you

398
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:44.039
know, enemy targets and then an
operator would say yes you can or no

399
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.119
you can. And it was part
of training it so that one day maybe

400
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:52.920
it could do it autonomously, no
operator needed. And it got told no

401
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:57.800
one too many times, so it
and it didn't really do this. It's

402
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.000
all a simulation, but it's the
way in which it reacted was to kill

403
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:09.480
the drone operator. And then when
the computer guys entered a command saying you're

404
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:15.400
not allowed to kill the drone operator, it went a loophole. It then

405
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.280
killed the computer guys. So they
wouldn't stuff anymore commands into it, limiting

406
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.280
its ability to go murder whatever at
once. So that went literally as badly

407
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.480
as it could have short of like
in the movie Eagle Eye, where it

408
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.719
decided just to cut through all the
BS steps and go murder everybody at the

409
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.960
State of the Union. Luckily shy
lebuff stopped it. So there you go,

410
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:45.159
spoiler. So we had that also
up in Pittsburgh, and this is

411
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:52.039
not the only district to be getting
on this, and we got a we

412
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.000
got a whole laundry list of examples. Pittsburgh as part of a program that

413
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:07.039
is a holdover from COVID, has
triggered I guess would be the word for

414
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:14.960
it. It's emergency weather protocols and
this case it's heat and they are having

415
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:21.880
two at home days. So remote
distance learning once again everybody's favorite, and

416
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.960
that is their solution to snow days
or any really any emergency that makes it

417
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.960
so the kids can't come to school. Rather than reschedule in another day later

418
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.280
in the year, they're just going
to kick right into the remote learning.

419
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:37.079
And on one side of it,
I get the logic of it, especially

420
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:42.559
I know I gave the example in
North Carolina where school districts we're having to

421
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.719
go to the legislature to fix things
because they had so many snow days that

422
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:52.079
they weren't gonna be able to get
them in before the legal calendar days or

423
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.400
within the legal calendar days, and
it caused a problem. And so I

424
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.880
guess I kind of get it.
But also this is so government, man.

425
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.639
Once something gets cracking, they're all
over it, and I don't trust

426
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.480
them not to abuse it as it
was abused previously. And it's not just

427
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:13.519
this, it's a bunch of stuff, you know, the North Carolina legislature

428
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.880
working on you know, big big
elections bill. All right, so what

429
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.480
are the horrible things that I had
to watch every Democrat tweet were essentially trying

430
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:28.400
to destroy our democracy. They would
they would have more restrictions on mail and

431
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:34.079
voting, same day voter read.
Basically, most if not all, of

432
00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:39.920
the changes that we were told we're
going to be temporary during COVID, the

433
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.400
ones they were actually able to get
stick because remember Joss Steiny Boy and h

434
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.800
and Mark Elias and those cats who
were backroom dealing this crap. They did

435
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.360
get slapped down in that one court
case where they it was going to be

436
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:58.239
much it was gonna be more along
the lines of what Pennsylvania ended up with.

437
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.199
Basically, lead the GOP's like,
no, you can't do that anymore.

438
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:06.760
And by the way, you said
this was temporary, and now that

439
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:08.559
they want to make this thing that
we were told was temporary, you know,

440
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:15.559
actually temporary. It's an attack on
democracy and they're trying to trying to

441
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:19.599
keep people from voting and all the
rest of it. It's just crazy.

442
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:24.079
The proposal would require election boards.
You're ready for this to use signature verification

443
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:29.760
for absentee ballots. How many of
you thought they were doing that already.

444
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:37.800
Yeah, there's actual software that can
do it. I know. It's crazy,

445
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:44.159
although you still got yeah, you
still you still gotta have the people

446
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:51.760
too. Double it up. Man, let's see here. Also would make

447
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:59.599
it easier for people to formally accuse
others of voter fraud. I don't know

448
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.400
the how do you accuse somebody of
voter fraud now? And how it would

449
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:06.360
make it easier. I mean,
if if you think somebody committed voter fraud,

450
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.360
isn't it which is a crime?
Isn't it? Just? What's the

451
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.639
problem with being able to report that
you think somebody committed a crime. People

452
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:20.039
do that all day every day.
I think so and so stole from my

453
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.440
store, right, some shoplifter,
although really in a lot of cases,

454
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:31.199
we don't report that stuff anymore.
And they were absolutely apoplectic over this as

455
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:37.199
I was going through the nc POL
Twitter yesterday, attack on democracy. It's

456
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.599
horrible. You said this was temporary, You said all of this was temporary,

457
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:49.880
and you lied, and you just
that you don't even care. One

458
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.800
of the example, Ross and I
were talking off the year, and I

459
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:54.719
think it is probably the easiest to
understand examples. How many of you have

460
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:59.519
driven through Chicago or on the what's
it called the thru Way up there in

461
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:05.559
New York both toll roads, Um, but you know those aren't supposed to

462
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.880
be there, right listen, calm
down. When it's paid for, the

463
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:12.960
toll will go away, right right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

464
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.119
yeah, yeah yeah, that's exactly. That's how Chicago was sold on

465
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:19.599
it. And when when actually they
were starting to hit the numbers, people

466
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:21.880
like, okay, time to do
away with the tollway. Like, I'll

467
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.119
tell you what instead of the boost, will do high speed tolling. Is

468
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:25.960
that better? And they're like,
well, we're going to get a lot

469
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:32.199
of money doing this. Yeah,
it'll never go away. This is this

470
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:38.199
is why I fall back on the
trust issue, because it makes all the

471
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:45.920
sense in the world if if you
get yourself in a position where this this

472
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.199
might be more helpful. There's a
lot of other downsides to remote learning,

473
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.519
as we've talked about some For a
lot of kids, it's just it ain't

474
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.599
it you know. Uh. In
fact, it might be doing more harm

475
00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:01.119
than good because now they're going to
be expected to retain information that will that

476
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:06.239
they won't because it's not how they
learn, and it won't be represented to

477
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.880
them necessarily, but there will be
tested on it, whereas at least if

478
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:16.639
you rescheduled days, will have the
traditional experience of learning that information. But

479
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.159
I am curious, would you prefer, as a parent, on the inevitable

480
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:29.079
snow days that you're instead of having
to worry about how many extra days they

481
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:31.119
might have to tack unto the end
of the year if they exceed their allotment,

482
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.119
would you rather just we attempt to
have business as usual and we do

483
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.280
the remote learning because now people at
least have some experience with it. Because

484
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:44.440
this is what a lot of districts
are wanting to do. And the problem

485
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:50.199
is is it makes sense during a
blizzard maybe, but once there's a comfort

486
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:55.360
level there, then maybe it's not
a blizzard. Maybe it's um and a

487
00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:02.199
new kind of teacher enrichment day.
Or right, here's the political scenario.

488
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:07.480
Maybe it's we're going to have a
new green pilot program ready for this ross

489
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.119
I should be elected a Democratic lawmaker. Are you ready? Here we go

490
00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:17.000
a green pilot program to show how
a woken awesome we are. So one

491
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:22.840
day a week, we're gonna go
remote learning to keep those buses off the

492
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:28.599
roads and those cars off the roads. We're gonna and then we'll put out

493
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:34.320
a BS number about how much carbon
we're saving. It's okay, your kids

494
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.159
are comfortable with remote learning, and
it's for the planet. Why do you

495
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.719
hate the planet? If you think
that is not a scenario, that is

496
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:49.480
at least a possibility, you're not
paying attention. I bet somebody's thought of

497
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:55.800
that before I did. All right, let me grab a call here,

498
00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:07.320
Ben, What up, Casey?
This AI stuff planic is driving me crazy.

499
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:12.760
I'm being a software developer for forty
years and AI is just software written

500
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:16.960
by human beings. Now this drone
that turned around and attacked, it's an

501
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:22.920
operator. The only person whose fault
is that is is a software developer.

502
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.360
And he's like, I'm not going
to say he was a government software developer

503
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:29.440
and he might have not been the
best. I'm not gonna say that,

504
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:35.360
but this is a panic and we've
got to stop people growing up on how

505
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.960
and attack robots and stuff like that. They don't understand this. But it's

506
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:45.119
not as simplistic as that. And
because what it did is it said it

507
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:53.920
determined that it prioritized its mission and
it realized that its mission was being hindered

508
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:59.400
by this individual. That's a there's
a certain amount of clostness to that,

509
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:06.519
sir No. The software developer had
to write that this program did not think

510
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:10.639
of this as by itself. But
what's even scarier than all this casey is

511
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.039
that the government wants to control it. There's no way to control this.

512
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:20.280
You can't stop a thirteen year old
kid from sitting down in coding. Well

513
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:27.159
maybe so you're saying that is somewhere
it was programmed in that if the if

514
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.679
if the AI thought the drone operator
was impeding its mission, that it should

515
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:37.760
kill the drone operator, You wouldn't
code the code. Yes, somebody screwed

516
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:43.559
up in the code. Software cannot
think on its own. It's a it

517
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:49.800
goes ABC. Some software developer screwed
up on his code. You know,

518
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.639
maybe you know, uh, you
know, maybe it was busy playing.

519
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:59.760
What would you enter in there where
that scenario would occur to the drone?

520
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:01.679
That's what I don't This is all
you know, I want to understand,

521
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:05.599
sir. I just don't like what
would that look like? Because you're not

522
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:07.679
going to literally write that. Hey, if you want to kill the operator,

523
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:12.199
if you think that the operator stopping
your mission, nobody's gonna nobody's gonna

524
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:16.119
r in there. No, but
the software is a little more cryptic,

525
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:22.199
you know, and it could identify
you know, so sure, you know,

526
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.840
maybe there's exactly it because of the
crypt Because of the cryptic nature of

527
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:30.440
it, you recognize that it created
this window with which it you know,

528
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:34.039
the parameters in which it was supposed
to operate, right, which is basically

529
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:38.239
what the code does. These are
your parameters, right, and and tells

530
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:44.039
you step by step what to do. So it's a scan what didn't if

531
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:46.480
you want that it would say scan
areas and if it's if it, if

532
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:51.599
it has this signature, blow it
to Smitherings. And that I understand that

533
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.199
part of it. But after it
was told not to blow something to smithereens

534
00:48:54.719 --> 00:49:00.599
it then blew up the operator.
I mean didn't really, but obviously in

535
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:04.119
the in the scenario it did.
So if I if the simplest steps that

536
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.599
I put in there saying, if
you see something that looks like this or

537
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:13.440
has this heat signature, whatever it
is, blow it to Smitherings. And

538
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:19.320
that's the parade. We write this
code all the time. This is when

539
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.360
you find errors in code. It's
like, oh, shoot, I should

540
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:25.199
I should note that when it scans
the air, if it sees an operator,

541
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:30.679
do not blow that person up.
This is just software that someone screwed

542
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:37.199
up on. But if the operator
was Alanic, the the operator wasn't sitting

543
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.840
on one of these missile batteries like
uh um, I'm trying to remember the

544
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.159
guy in the movie rode the missile
back in the day. Um oh oh

545
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.400
yeah, oh that was great.
Yeah yeah yeah, but but like that

546
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.519
that that's not where the drone operator
sitting off in the drone operator station,

547
00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:54.440
right, He's not He's not hanging
out on the missile man. So I

548
00:49:54.440 --> 00:50:00.039
don't I don't know, but uh, there's no way, there's no no

549
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:05.519
ways this drone could act on its
own. Someone directed someone in the software

550
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:10.159
directed it to do that, which
means it's it's basically pilot air. You

551
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:15.679
know the question all the time,
Well, can I ask you a question?

552
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.880
Are you the drone? Are you
the drone? Are you the drone

553
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:27.000
running edition information campaign on my show? I'm not the drone. This is

554
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:32.440
not possible. This very funny.
That's what the drone would say. Hey

555
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:40.480
see, drone could not tell you
what a great show you hub and much

556
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:46.360
I enjoyed. This is. This
is drone not possible. All right,

557
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.599
hey Ben, I gotta our drone
or whatever your name is. I gotta

558
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.599
go, but thank you very much. Okay, bubba bubba, right yeah,

559
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:57.920
all right, that's the drone.
Ross, that's the drone, right

560
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:00.360
one percent. That was the drone. That's the drone that Ross said he

561
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.519
wanted to turn we need to shut
it down. Well here we go again.

562
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:07.519
I didn't say that. Ross said
that. So if you're listening,

563
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:09.440
still drone, there you go,
all right, seven twenty two, hang

564
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:19.639
on, all right, long first
segment there, but we had to get

565
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.840
to the bottom all the grown stuff, so that and yes, we'll talk

566
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:27.880
about the Joe Biden incident where he
was what's the word of you? Sanday

567
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.960
plus Pete Calendar will join us at
eight oh five, so lots coming up

568
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:45.360
back in just a few Thank you. Casey is on ninety four five w

569
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.800
PTI in the Triad and one oh
six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

570
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.960
Prons just told me there's not enough
bleeps in the budget. How many bleeps

571
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.679
are we budgeted? I haven't even
looked. Have we used up all our

572
00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:10.159
bleeps? We have a surplus and
it's not gonna be enough. I just

573
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:14.679
I just tweeted this out and it's
it's a tweet and then there it's actually

574
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:20.920
two so it's a little mini thread. I saw this and I thought I

575
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:24.519
cannot be the only person who has
to see this. So then I made

576
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:29.039
Ross watch it and his response was, uh, um, no, we

577
00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:34.480
don't have enough bleeps, which is
probably right. So apparently trans raps a

578
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:43.320
thing like wrap the music. It's
a trans rap artist, but there's a

579
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:47.239
lot of naughty words in it.
I'm just warning you we go check that

580
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:55.079
out. Well, a couple little
snippets from the music video there. It's,

581
00:52:55.280 --> 00:53:00.559
um, it's something by the way, I just got an email Ross

582
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.880
and some guys like, hey,
love the show, need your lat launch

583
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:08.199
coordinates to send a gift. So
I should probably give him the coordinates.

584
00:53:08.280 --> 00:53:10.400
Bro, Yeah, it could go
wrong. Man, Huh, come on,

585
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:14.039
it's a bow time. You think
that's what you think that's the gift.

586
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.320
You think it's bow bow time.
You know, Latin not address wanted

587
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:24.039
LAT launch. Very weird alloa the
morning that's on there. And also this

588
00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:30.199
one didn't require bleeps because it's actually
another one of these AI or AI.

589
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:37.519
Yeah, AI generated but very very
memes or memes are the best. So

590
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:42.800
yeah, I understand the AI right
wants to murder everyone, but also it

591
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.599
wants to create funny memes. So
I'm actually torn on this issue. So

592
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:51.199
we had the one the other day
that went viral over the weekend where somebody

593
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.599
had taken a scene from the office, and actually both of these are from

594
00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:58.599
the office, but it's the scene
where Michael shows up. Michael Scott shows

595
00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:02.440
up wearing a suit, but it's
a woman's suit, and um, he's

596
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:06.559
in the middle of negotiations with the
guys who work in the warehouse, and

597
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:10.559
and you know, it's a funny
little exchange. And they just superimposed Ron

598
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:16.719
de santis his face over Michael Scott
and his voice but seamless, it's perfect,

599
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:22.280
seamless in this and the voice says
all the things that is actually in

600
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:27.239
the scene, but in Ron de
Santis' AI version of his voice. Are

601
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:32.199
you wearing lady clothes? And what
are you wearing? Lady clothes? Look

602
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:38.559
like lady pants? Now this is
a power suit that there's a woman's suit

603
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:44.440
and it's really funny. And if
you scroll it on the Twitter timeline you'll

604
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.320
see that on their butt. Ross
found a new one this morning. Now

605
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:51.920
this is uh, this is Creed. Yeah, he's such a great character.

606
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:55.320
I used one of my favorite characters. Creed is an old hippie who's

607
00:54:55.360 --> 00:55:01.800
got some stories and he happens one
of the what's he's a mystery. He's

608
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:07.920
a mystery. And there's a scene
where he's talking about him, um during

609
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.679
the sixties, hooking up with a
bunch of women's right, and so what

610
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:19.360
do they do? Uh, somebody
put Joe Biden's face over Creed and Joe

611
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:23.239
Biden's voice or is it the voice
that I didn't even I guess I know

612
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:28.679
it's Biden's voice. Yeah, that's
what makes it so much better. It's

613
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:30.280
not just because the old memes.
You just could kind of get my face

614
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.800
over there, right, perfect,
Now twenty twenty four is gonna be amazing

615
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:37.440
when it comes to the memes.
So and then like the caption on it

616
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:43.000
was by like happy Pride Month or
so Biden Pride Month or Biden celebrates Pride

617
00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.440
Month or something. All right,
so check it's very short, but the

618
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.519
videos on there, but here's the
audio and the sixties, I made love

619
00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:52.119
to many many women, often outdoors
in the mud, in the rain,

620
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:58.400
and it's possible a man slipped in. It would be no way of knowing,

621
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:05.360
right, And they've only tapped one
TV show for this, do you

622
00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:07.360
understand? Like, how about however
amazing this stuff is? Like if you

623
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:10.519
were to go back like ten years
ago, go back a decade and show

624
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:14.360
somebody this, you'd be like,
there's no way that's possible, right,

625
00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:16.440
Like what what kind of witchcraft is
this? And now we're taking it for

626
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:22.880
granted. It's it's look at it's
crazy, dude. You could show it

627
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.360
to uh, what's his Why now? His name is Kate the Avatar director

628
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:30.280
James Cameron. Right, you showed
to James Cameron ten years ago. What

629
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:37.719
the Wakowski are they Wakowski's sisters.
No, I can't because the one had

630
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:39.719
the ones from the Matrix. The
Matrix. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

631
00:56:40.199 --> 00:56:44.079
right, you could show this to
them in nineteen ninety nine and they'd be

632
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:47.079
blown away. And you remember watching
The Matrix in nineteen ninety nine and how

633
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:52.880
you felt it's bonkers, dude,
but it's funny. So yeah, we

634
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:54.480
got lots of stuff there. Make
sure you're on the Twitter phone, us

635
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:59.679
on the Twitter at Casey on the
radio, Casey the two letters at Casey

636
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:02.480
on the radio. You can see
that. And then check out the trans

637
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:07.800
rap that Ross called straight Fire.
So big fan, big fan. But

638
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:12.639
just you know it's got some it's
got some lyrics in there, and we

639
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:15.719
don't have enough bleeps. So there's
that, all right. Speaking of Biden

640
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:22.599
in Colorado Springs yesterday at the graduation
of the Air Force Academy, I've actually

641
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:29.199
been down to the Air Force Academy
and it said, um cool little setting.

642
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:31.400
Colorado Springs is an interesting town though, because like half of it is

643
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:38.400
it's like South Chicago, man,
like crazy, crazy crime problem over there.

644
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:42.599
But yeah, then you have the
academy set up against the mountains there.

645
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:46.679
It's a very beautiful, beautiful area
over there. Um. So he's

646
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:51.239
there, he's doing the graduation.
And I'm sure you've seen the video by

647
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:54.519
now. He gets up on walks
up on stage. He's standing in a

648
00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:59.320
position and he's waiting then to walk
over to the to the podium. I

649
00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:13.599
guess I don't know where he was
going because he didn't make it. Yeah,

650
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:19.880
he down, he's down, and
the media said then he quote got

651
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:24.719
right back up. He did with
three people, and they said he tripped

652
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:29.119
over He said he tripped over a
sandbag. He actually said I got sandbaged.

653
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:37.119
He from the moment he from where
he was standing the moment he went

654
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:45.880
into motion. He did not look
steady. So maybe maybe it was because

655
00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:49.519
he saw the sandbag. But I
don't think his foot made contact with him

656
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.920
before he tripped. But maybe he
was trying to pivot. Whatever. Here's

657
00:58:52.960 --> 00:59:00.320
the thing. As as people pointed
out, Donald Trump slowly walked down a

658
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:07.679
wet ramp and the media went twenty
fifth Amendment, there's something wrong with him.

659
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:10.480
New York Times. It was their
front page story because you know,

660
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:19.400
the receipts are there. You can
look at the screen caps and and and

661
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.239
Instead. Yesterday, not only did
they just choose to ignore it, they

662
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:28.039
chose to lie about what actually happened, like, oh he did, like

663
00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:31.760
he just bounced up. He didn't. Three people helped him up, but

664
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:36.960
he's also the president and he falls
down. Secret Service runs over the one

665
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:40.920
part though that um well, and
I saw many people notice this, but

666
00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:44.719
it is my favorite. If if
you watched it but you didn't notice this,

667
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:49.000
you should watch it again. Is
the one the one cadet, the

668
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:53.960
female cadet who is she's getting ready, I guess to walk over the podium,

669
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:58.119
but she's waiting for the president go
over. She sees him go down,

670
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:02.880
and she looks and she literally just
pivots one hundred and eighty degrees and

671
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:08.400
kind of walks off. And it's
just her reaction like, oh, hell

672
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:13.000
no, I'm not going over there. Obviously too, when he got Secret

673
01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:15.360
Service rushing up to help the president, you want to go over there.

674
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:19.920
But instead of staying stationary, she
gave this horrified look, spins around and

675
01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:22.760
just walks off. And I just
I don't know. I kind of laughed

676
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.119
at that. But they, you
know, they say he's fine and all

677
01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:28.639
of that. It's just like,
just if you're gonna treat it one way

678
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:31.559
for one, just treat it the
same way. But here's the serious question

679
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:37.000
too, So how many times has
he now fallen in so it's four times,

680
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:40.960
how many times has he fallen not
in public? Right? Well,

681
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:45.840
yes, if he's a documented ones
they had a caller or a twitchy or

682
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:49.320
somebody had a story where they had
the four of them in there. Yeah,

683
01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:54.519
you're right. No, I mean
you don't know, man, how

684
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:57.960
many times have you stumble on that
basement or in the White House? I

685
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.599
don't know. I will say this, Look, people trip, people fall

686
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:10.599
It happens. I think we've all
done it. That being said, there

687
01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:14.599
is one, there is this disconnect
in the way that the media handles it.

688
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:22.880
But two, there's also the part
where it it's immensely mockable by world

689
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:27.880
leaders who hate you. Whether that's
right or wrong, it's the reality of

690
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:32.599
it. And you know, they've
all they already kind of adopted their own

691
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:38.440
sleepy Joe attitude towards it, like
Putin's mocked him. But the Chinese mocked

692
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:44.360
him too, right, and I
and I'm sure many many others um it.

693
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:50.360
It doesn't. It doesn't scream power. Whether that's right or wrong.

694
01:01:50.519 --> 01:01:52.559
It's the reality of it. But
yeah, the the official number that I

695
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:57.599
saw was four, and you're right, it's probably probably more than that.

696
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:01.159
All right, seven five phone number
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

697
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:07.840
seventy four. Race Stagic from the
Weather Channel. He is, he's here.

698
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:10.199
How you doing? Start happy Friday? Yes, aimed at you doing

699
01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:15.119
well? How about yourself? Ah, you know pretty good. Just terrified

700
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.559
over that. You saw that military
drone story, right, did you see

701
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.639
the story? So? All right, So you know one of the one

702
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:27.039
of the AI dreams of the military
is to have drones with missiles that can

703
01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:30.559
fly around, figure out what's an
enemy target and blow it up without somebody,

704
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:36.440
a human having to do it.
So they ran a simulation with the

705
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:40.480
drone with the AI programming, and
but whenever it did identify a target,

706
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:45.159
then a human operator would say yes, you're right, blow it up,

707
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:47.079
or no, you're wrong, because
they're trying to train it. Well,

708
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:51.639
it got mad because it got told
no, so it turned around and blew

709
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:57.039
up the operator and then the programming
guys put a code in saying, hey,

710
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:01.119
you can't murder your operator. So
it went loophole and murdered the programmers.

711
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:05.199
I mean obviously not really, but
yeah, so that's going well,

712
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:08.119
it's good going well, yeah,
you know, will Will Smith was onto

713
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:15.840
something. It's freaky, man.
I have no interest, not even interested.

714
01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:17.519
I have not one. And you
know what, they can't bring this

715
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.400
if it can duplicate the camaraderie here. You know, maybe I'm four it,

716
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:24.159
but it just I don't know,
scary stuff now. It's not there

717
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:29.039
yet, no, no, not
yet. But it was not a hurricane

718
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:34.519
developing. Hope, yeah, I
hope not. And TD two speaking of

719
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:37.760
tropical depression too in the eastern Gulf. I'm really not much of an influence

720
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:43.039
to the US mainland. M gonna
drift south the head toward western Cuba.

721
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:46.360
Small chance it becomes our lean,
but that doesn't look real likely. Wins

722
01:03:46.360 --> 01:03:51.280
at thirty five right now, gusting
over tropical storm force, which, as

723
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:55.000
a reminder, is thirty nine miles
per hour, but at that point doesn't

724
01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:00.920
look like direct impacts to the state
of Florida. Here kind of a split

725
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.800
a little more cloud try it triangle, a little more sunshine. Try it

726
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:10.239
so. Greensboro, Thomasville, Louisville
looking good this morning, and you get

727
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:14.400
near a wake forest and downtown Raleigh
and out toward Fayetville a little more cloud

728
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:20.079
Goldsboro. So temperatures will probably be
a little more uniform and eighty three eighty

729
01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:24.119
four degrees for everybody today, It
depends on where you are. There's partly

730
01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:27.440
sunny and then more sun as you
go west. Tonight most of us are

731
01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:30.360
clear. We'll be down near sixties, so pretty comfortable for tomorrow morning.

732
01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:34.000
Tomorrow afternoon maybe a hit or miss
shower, thundershower into the evening, nothing

733
01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:38.719
widespread. Most of us are dry
for rains and all rain briefly, and

734
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:41.960
then on Sunday we'll have sunshine as
we get this front through a very pleasant

735
01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:45.599
with the northeast breeze, mid seventies
but warming back up into the eighties low

736
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.559
eighties as we get into next week. And I think I mentioned it yesterday.

737
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.639
Doesn't look like much rain over the
next seven to ten days. Maybe

738
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:54.880
some I'm hit and miss stuff every
couple of days, but other than that

739
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:58.400
casey, I think we go on
a more dry than we do wet run

740
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.840
and likely more seasonal temperatures than we
have anything real hot or anything real cool.

741
01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:06.039
Okay, by the way, you're
as you're sitting there talking, I've

742
01:05:06.039 --> 01:05:11.519
got an email from not a drone
once or at launch wants to send you

743
01:05:11.599 --> 01:05:15.360
again. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so I'm not giving out that information

744
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.000
on the air. Okay, all
right, Well, being your bunker,

745
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:20.719
be well, we'll talk in an
hour. Okay, sounds good, all

746
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:25.719
right, and coming up a couple
couple of quick little hitters and then uh

747
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:30.719
Pete Calendar will join us eight oh
five and yeah, we'll talk drone and

748
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:35.800
North Carolina legislature and Biden and you
name it. That'll be our three kickoffs.

749
01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:40.599
So stick around back in just a
few this one oh six one FM

750
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:48.920
Talk in the Triangle and here's talk
w PTI and the Tryad. All right,

751
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:53.159
So your theory is those things on
the bottom of Joe Biden's shoes which

752
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:58.239
just looked like oddly shaped lift or
traction heels, are what magnets. Yeah,

753
01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:01.360
their magnets. That's how they control
the clone. I mean, this

754
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:06.039
is an indisputable right. Well,
you couple that with the very compelling videos

755
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:09.320
where they're like, oh, he
didn't put the face on it, right,

756
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:14.119
you know, but if he was
a clone or drone or whatever he

757
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:17.480
is, like, you wouldn't make
him fall down, right, I mean

758
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:19.960
if it malfunctions, I don't know, because then like you know, it

759
01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:24.559
falls down and then all of a
sudden like um, you know, like

760
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:30.840
his the parts start falling off.
The the jigs up. Man. All

761
01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:33.639
jokes aside. It's some sort of
like the lift or stabilizer or sometimes obviously

762
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:36.639
it's a traction. They look like
traction heels and probably a little bit of

763
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:39.800
a and maybe not even a lift. I mean he's a tall guy,

764
01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:44.280
but they they definitely look like the
traction. Some you know, there's people

765
01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:47.960
people who have stability issues and when
people get older, you can get the

766
01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:55.480
you can get shoes that have um
basically assistance, or you can buy shoes

767
01:06:55.599 --> 01:07:00.519
that are you know, high traction
shoes, um just for the interest of

768
01:07:00.840 --> 01:07:03.360
um, not slipping. But you
can also do them if you work in

769
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:08.039
a wet environment or no boots come
with them. I think they just look

770
01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:10.679
weird. They just look like a
magnet. So the joke, the joke

771
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:17.639
worked. So ah, do you
want some or you want some worthipedic shoes.

772
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:19.679
We can get those for you.
I mean, I'm all down for

773
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:24.760
comfy, for comfy shoes. Yeah, I'm with you, man, let's

774
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:28.320
see here except for crocs. I
don't know what's up with you people,

775
01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:34.719
Janet, what's going on? Hey
Casey about Biden? You are absolutely right,

776
01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:40.679
stuff does happen. I get that. But to be fair, um

777
01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:45.199
pushing fifty three and I'll following twice
in my adult life, and once because

778
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:46.960
I was being stupid trying to ride
on the grand daughters. How were board

779
01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:51.719
with her? Well, now that
you've got that involved, I don't even

780
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:59.559
count that as a fall. Let's
just straight once I fell on I fell

781
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:02.480
on my stairs here, like not
that long ago, because I had one

782
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:05.960
in their woodstairs. So that oh
yeah, that's not a good comma.

783
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:11.199
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well the other followers because some construction workers

784
01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:14.239
had left a rake outside of their
work area and I tripped on it as

785
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:18.279
I was crossing the street. Yeah, Julie, take the rake, I

786
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:21.039
mean, that's yours at that point, I think, but I didn't.

787
01:08:21.119 --> 01:08:25.720
But I did have an instant flash
in my brain of jumping up, grabbing

788
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:29.439
the rake and smacking a construction worker
with it. Well, if you do

789
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:31.840
that, get somebody to film it
and center the k Janet. I will

790
01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:35.159
definitely do that, all right,
all right, thank you, appreciate it.

791
01:08:35.399 --> 01:08:41.600
Thank you. That's my rake.
Now you tried to murder me.

792
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:45.520
Oh you probably just sue for billions
of dollars or something like. That's how

793
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:47.520
that goes. M all right,
So coming up, we're gonna chat with

794
01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:50.359
Pete Calendar. We got so much
stuff I want to get too. I

795
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:54.000
don't know if we'll get to all
of it, but we'll try. We'll

796
01:08:54.039 --> 01:09:00.439
try. Also, Um, so
the Little Mermaid went for woe, but

797
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:06.319
apparently, for some people's taste,
didn't get woke enough. This might be

798
01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:12.359
one of the dumbest criticisms I think
I've seen, but we will. We'll

799
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:15.960
have that for you coming up in
the next hour. And oh yeah,

800
01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:21.000
things are going well in Mexico.
So if you're let me taking yourself a

801
01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:25.800
little little trip, maybe when the
when the when, you know, the

802
01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:31.840
kids out of the school and stuff. Um, bring your own bolsa bag

803
01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:38.680
because all the ones in Mexico are
being used and for a pretty horrific reason.

804
01:09:41.079 --> 01:09:44.159
Phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seventy four, of

805
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:47.279
course. But yeah, our radio
buddy to the South Peak Calendar Midday's wbt

806
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:51.520
n V, the I Heart Radio
Apple, he joins us, coming up

807
01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:55.079
here in just a few minutes,
and during the break, maybe stop by

808
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:59.800
the Twitter see the trans rap and
the office meme and all the goodness it

809
01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:34.199
at Casey on the radio. All
right, good morning everybody, and welcome.

810
01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:42.079
It is EAT seven Friday, and
I know it was a four day

811
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:45.800
work week for most people, but
it felt like six. What a crazy

812
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:49.479
weekend. To help us make sense
of it, Pete Calendar radio buddy down

813
01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:55.800
in Charlotte middays there and via the
iHeart Radio app. You want to listen

814
01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:58.920
to him, you can do that, but we're gonna talk to him now.

815
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:01.039
Pete, how you doing this morning? Well? I was better?

816
01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:09.520
Uh like about what three minutes ago? Whatever could have happened? So you

817
01:11:10.119 --> 01:11:15.840
look pouted. You've polluted my uh
my, my Twitter timeline and now my

818
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:20.359
eyeballs. Well look, you ever
see something on Twitter and you're like,

819
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:24.119
there's no way I'm going to be
the only person having to see that.

820
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:28.439
And yeah, so you you you
spread that. I didn't know trans rap

821
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:30.960
was a thing, and that's highly
produced too, man, I mean,

822
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:36.439
yeah, it's just something. It's
on the Twitter by the way, at

823
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:40.399
Casey on the radio. There's a
couple of little snippets in that thread if

824
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:43.199
you want to check it out.
But I warn you the lyrics are interesting.

825
01:11:44.239 --> 01:11:47.920
Um so yeah, yeah, you're
not gonna maybe bleep it out and

826
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:50.119
then use it as bump music for
your show. Come on, man,

827
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:57.399
um yeah no, probably not.
Probably not. I don't think you really.

828
01:11:57.439 --> 01:12:01.000
I don't think the rap comes across
as well unless you've got the video

829
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:05.279
with it. I don't know if
the song like just on its own,

830
01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:10.800
it's you know, that's fair like
the video kind of makes it because it's

831
01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:15.800
a very it's a very uh dare
I call it a trans aggressive kind of

832
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:19.399
attitude. You know, it's a
very or just aggressive approach. It's it's

833
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:25.159
all up in your face. I
am this, you stink. It's a

834
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:29.960
very antagonistic kind of thing. And
I don't know if that comes through.

835
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:32.479
I don't know if it seems as
hard. You know, when it's when

836
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:42.359
you don't see the video of the
person, the human who is the artist,

837
01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:47.399
yes, the recording artist that is
that. Yeah, they're they're claiming

838
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:53.279
to be trans and and they're they're
very tough about it, and they're very

839
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:56.079
in your face about it, and
they're not going to live up to your

840
01:12:56.239 --> 01:13:00.079
ideas of what it means to be
trans, which once again, it like

841
01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:04.359
there is something at the core of
all of this that just screams narcissism and

842
01:13:04.600 --> 01:13:11.520
validate me. And uh, it
comes through in that video of showing the

843
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:14.159
artist as well. And I think
that if you just listen to the song,

844
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:16.640
you might be mistaken and you may
kind of think it's warm on the

845
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:20.279
lines of sort of the old school
gangster rap, but it's not. You

846
01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:24.600
got to have the video because it's
like I need you, I need you

847
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:27.760
to validate me, but I kind
of don't want you to validate me.

848
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:30.600
But at the same time, yes, it's about me and what you think

849
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:35.159
of me. Well, but to
be fair, it's not the first time

850
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:40.000
that there has been a rap song
where it's aggressive, right. There's there's

851
01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:44.520
many gangster rap, right examples of
this, and not even just in in

852
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:47.800
rap, right, there's country music
that's very in your face, I'm the

853
01:13:47.880 --> 01:13:51.880
man kind of stuff. So but
yeah, I know you're right. The

854
01:13:53.439 --> 01:14:00.920
video definitely completes the the pictures of
the tableau. Yeah, all right,

855
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:02.960
so here's the deal, man,
We're gonna we got so much stuff we

856
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.920
gotta get to. This is just
crazy. By the way, congratulations to

857
01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:12.079
Lori Lightfoot for her new gig up
at Harvard. Yeah yeah, remember,

858
01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:15.079
well she did such a great job
in Chicago. Why wouldn't you want to

859
01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:20.000
tap that brain and get some of
that information out to more people. And

860
01:14:20.239 --> 01:14:24.439
this is this is a thing that
kills me. Man. This is just

861
01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:30.000
the safety net that Democrats set up. Is amazing, Right, Hillary Columbia,

862
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:33.079
she's got some gig. Remember it
was our own former governor that also

863
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:38.319
got a gig up at Harvard when
she's reelection. Well, and you also,

864
01:14:38.439 --> 01:14:42.359
you can't ever forget the guy one
of the trailblazers in this arena,

865
01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:48.119
John Edwards, Right, yeah,
for former vice presidential candidate, former North

866
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:55.039
Carolina US Senator John Edwards, who
in between gigs right while he was before

867
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:58.840
he was gonna launch the run for
president, and after his senate tenure,

868
01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:03.560
he he landed the gig at UNC
the poverty center that was created just for

869
01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:06.520
him, and then he led it
and then he left when he ran for

870
01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:10.600
president, and then I don't know
whatever happened to it. I think it's

871
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:15.760
defunct now. Oh was Gene Nichols
not still less? But maybe it can

872
01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:19.960
get Reverend Barber. Yeah, I
don't know. Okay, be very careful

873
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:23.479
what she said. So for those
of you don't know, Um, there

874
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:28.840
was a dog whistle, a correct
whistle. Uh well almost almost the man

875
01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:31.560
who we on this show have referred
to as the Buffet's layer for years and

876
01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:35.880
didn't get the press. Um.
Uh so they was it? Was it

877
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:41.199
the actual gop account? Yeah,
it was the Goop account referred to him

878
01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:45.960
and another term that we've also used
and didn't get the press, as a

879
01:15:45.199 --> 01:15:54.000
poverty pimp. I like uh grievance
monger as well. But it hit the

880
01:15:54.159 --> 01:16:01.359
fan from the people who uh tucked
frump on all of their tweets for four

881
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:09.159
years. They got very upset because
referring to the Reverend William Barber as a

882
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:14.880
poverty pimp is that's it, That's
the threshold we can't cross. So the

883
01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:21.119
pearl clutching was something else yesterday.
Yeah, between the rushing to defend the

884
01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:30.680
honor of the political activist Reverend William
Barber, did you know his original degree

885
01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:33.960
was in political science, right,
like he got the he got the divinity

886
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:40.760
degrees later, But this is he's
a he's a political person. That's this

887
01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:45.399
from the very beginning anyway, you
know, the moral mundane movement founder and

888
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:48.319
all of that, and and to
me, it's it was very striking between

889
01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:51.880
the defense of that and then the
rushing to, you know, celebrate Mandy

890
01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:58.880
cullen. Um. It was a
banner day for North Carolina media and Democrats.

891
01:16:58.920 --> 01:17:02.359
But I repeat myself, and the
barber thing is quite interesting and how

892
01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:11.880
many Democrats apparently associate the word pimp
with black people. I was not aware

893
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:18.199
that that was a term that was
racist because it only describes black people.

894
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:23.279
I thought, I thought, Jeffrey
Epstein, he's a white guy, and

895
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:27.960
he's he was, he was a
pimp, right basically. So I don't,

896
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:33.279
right, I don't understand how that
became a racialized term, particularly when

897
01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:36.880
you're using it to describe when you
stick in front of it the word poverty

898
01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:41.479
pimp. Right. I mean,
now, granted I do not I have

899
01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:46.039
not used that branding you have,
so right, So I mean, as

900
01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:51.840
anything, it seems like the North
Carolina GOP account is maybe listening to you.

901
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:58.319
You are an influencer case o day. Probably not now that's for other

902
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:00.920
reasons. No, But but you
make a very good point, and that

903
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:06.560
is it felt to me like thug. Remember when thug And it's like,

904
01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:13.079
so you're telling me that you only
associate the word thug with black people.

905
01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:17.239
Yeah, I mean that's that's that's
more on you. I feel like,

906
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:20.319
and yes, I got this.
The pimp got the same treatment yesterday,

907
01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:24.640
right, I had no. I
had no idea that that was the case,

908
01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:28.520
that that word was racialized. And
then of course the claim that this

909
01:18:28.760 --> 01:18:33.600
is a dog whistle, which that
is such a stupid term for uh,

910
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:40.399
if for use against an opponent,
for the people who hear the dog whistle

911
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:44.680
would be the dogs. And if
it's a racist dog whistle, then you're

912
01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:47.640
the racist dog that hears it.
That when if you hear the word pimp

913
01:18:47.760 --> 01:18:54.720
and you think black person, you're
the racist in that scenario. That is

914
01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:58.399
how I see it as well,
Um, maybe we're the only two people.

915
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:03.159
Unfortunately, that was that was the
point that they were going to seize

916
01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:06.000
upon. I just and honestly I
saw it and I just started laughing,

917
01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:10.279
not theeing it because I didn't see
when they tweeted it, but I saw

918
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:13.960
the reaction, right, they were
just over the moon. And it reminded

919
01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:18.800
me too of watching Josh Stein yesterday
lose his ever love and mind over.

920
01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:24.119
Basically the GOP saying, hey,
remember all that stuff you said was temporary

921
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:29.720
from a voting perspective, how about
we actually make it temporary and do it

922
01:19:29.800 --> 01:19:35.439
anymore and once again an assault on
democracy and racism and uh and all the

923
01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:42.600
rest. So right, uh yeah, aligning our our absolutee mail in ballid

924
01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:46.199
deadline with thirty other states, that
makes us the racists yep, yep,

925
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:50.720
yep um. And uh. Also, let's see what was it requiring people

926
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:56.479
to actually submit by you know,
election day um or received by election day?

927
01:19:56.760 --> 01:20:00.560
Well, right, it All it
does is moved the deadline to receive

928
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:03.800
to the day to close a business
on election day, which makes sense,

929
01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:08.239
you don't You don't keep accepting like, well, we want the postmark to

930
01:20:08.319 --> 01:20:11.760
be election date, right, so
you can get this this deluge of last

931
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:18.039
minute absentee ballots that flood the system
at the very after the election date polls

932
01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:24.079
closed. Then we have to wait
for three more days while the mail comes

933
01:20:24.119 --> 01:20:26.479
into the Board of Elections and we
have to wait on that. It's just

934
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:30.119
it's absurd. And also, you
know it forbids the Zuckbucks, right,

935
01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:33.600
Mark Zuckerberg, who funded all of
these election operations. And I know this

936
01:20:33.760 --> 01:20:38.640
is going to come as a shocker, but it tended to be focused.

937
01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:43.760
The grants got focused in heavy Democrat
areas. I'm sure it's completely coincidental,

938
01:20:44.079 --> 01:20:47.680
but there's the GOP would like to
the Republican legislature would very much like to

939
01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:55.600
not have the private financing of our
elections. Right, And then you said

940
01:20:55.720 --> 01:21:00.199
mostly I was there anywhere that wasn't
a blue district. I think there were

941
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:03.479
some. Yes, we're okay,
wow, okay, But to your point,

942
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:09.039
no, the vast majority was obviously
that and quote make it easier for

943
01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:13.960
people to formally accuse others of voter
fraud. Correctly, if I'm voter fraud's

944
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:18.199
a crime, right, it is
so if so if if it's a crime

945
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:23.720
and I witness or I think that
you've committed a crime, let's say it's

946
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:28.720
shoplifting, right, and I accuse
you of it. I don't understand what

947
01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:32.159
the disconnect is here, right,
So is it objectionable for people to go,

948
01:21:32.319 --> 01:21:35.680
Hey, I think I witnessed a
crime, let me report it to

949
01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:41.720
the authorities, which is a thing
that happens a lot. Once again,

950
01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:46.319
yeah, I think once again it
gives us a glimpse into the mindset of

951
01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:51.279
the people making the accusation. Dare
I call it projection? The very idea

952
01:21:51.319 --> 01:21:57.359
that they would think of this as
a as a as a weapon, right

953
01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:00.439
like to me, I don't.
I don't think in those terms. I

954
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:04.039
think in terms of, Okay,
we've got poll watchers. It's always difficult

955
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:08.000
to get poll watchers. And the
whole point is that you be on the

956
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:11.520
lookout for any kind of shenanigans,
and if you see shenanigans, then you

957
01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:15.520
should say something, right, see
something, say something. And they don't

958
01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:18.239
even want to allow that because their
mind goes to, you're going to target

959
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:23.640
our voters, you're going to target
our people, You're going to target people

960
01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:26.359
of color, Like all of a
sudden, they go to like these really

961
01:22:26.439 --> 01:22:30.840
dark places, and I don't I
don't understand that knee jerk reaction. Well,

962
01:22:30.880 --> 01:22:33.920
and there's even stuff that they didn't
address. Do you remember how they

963
01:22:33.960 --> 01:22:38.960
were stacking the poll watchers in Wake
County? They did this. I don't

964
01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:44.720
know how it worked there, but
basically they didn't have enough Republicans or Democrats,

965
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:48.000
or they hadn't enough Democrats, they
didn't have enough Republicans. And then

966
01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:54.239
what they did is they were in
the blue areas, they were double assigning

967
01:22:54.319 --> 01:23:00.319
Democrats and mostly sticking the Republicans in
red areas rather than attempting to lit it,

968
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.760
which is what they're supposed to do, UM. Whereas you know that

969
01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:11.760
would be especially in UM in the
busier areas, they seemingly made an effort

970
01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:15.880
to not put Republicans in those areas
and instead stick them in a place that

971
01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:20.199
really wasn't going to swing anything.
And it's all these little nuances and these

972
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:24.439
little tricks in these little games that
when you're getting your hand slapped on it,

973
01:23:25.279 --> 01:23:28.359
um, you have to you have
to feign outrage. Josh Stein and

974
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:31.800
his little him, Mark Elias back
room deal that ended up getting smacked down.

975
01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:39.680
That's what he's complaining about easily projecting
that. And yeah, they wanted

976
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:42.760
to do the pointed out, So, yeah, they wanted to do a

977
01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:46.279
rewrite of the election law. COVID
was the excuse they got their election law.

978
01:23:46.640 --> 01:23:51.560
The collusive agreement that you know that
they made with the plaintiffs in the

979
01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:55.880
case against them. They got their
deal and then yeah, they got smacked

980
01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:59.399
out with it. And so then
they and these are the very rules that

981
01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:05.920
they agreed to that Kristen I'm Brinson
Bell, right or Bell Brinston to the

982
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:10.720
elections director. This is what These
are the very rules that she was lobbing

983
01:24:10.840 --> 01:24:14.960
for before COVID, Right, she
wanted these things in place anyway, and

984
01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:17.720
look at that. Lo and behold, COVID gives her the excuse to start

985
01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:20.600
implementing this stuff, and then she
gets smacked down to the oh lo and

986
01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:25.760
behold we got sued and oh lo
and behold. The agreement is the thing,

987
01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:29.760
the very things that I was saying
we should have. The gamesmanship is

988
01:24:29.800 --> 01:24:30.920
something. All right, let me
get away from politics for a moment.

989
01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:36.279
Yeah, okay, you saw this
drone story. Holy crap, I saw

990
01:24:36.359 --> 01:24:40.840
the story. I printed it out. It is in my stack of stuff.

991
01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:43.359
But then I saw at the very
bottom that they made a whole bunch

992
01:24:43.359 --> 01:24:45.039
of corrections, the kind of sort
of so it was just like a war

993
01:24:45.159 --> 01:24:49.039
game kind of thing. Okay,
well, no, it is a war

994
01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:54.000
game, like nobody actually got murdered. But right, it doesn't Negate it

995
01:24:54.039 --> 01:24:56.960
because somebody said that earlier when I
did this story. So the crux of

996
01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:00.159
the story for you're just joining us, because this is is long in a

997
01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:02.760
dream of the military, like where
they were like, oh, we get

998
01:25:02.760 --> 01:25:05.720
autonomous drones. They'll be able to
fly around see where the bad guys are

999
01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:09.359
and then they can just make the
decision whether to murder them or not.

1000
01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:14.479
So now with AI doing its thing, which I'm so torn on because AI

1001
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:17.000
is doing some great memes right now, but also it might kill you.

1002
01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:24.199
And so the war game was enemy
missiles, fly around, see them,

1003
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:27.359
and then we'll tell you whether yes, those are and you can shoot them

1004
01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:29.680
or not. So there is still
a human in the chain, but it's

1005
01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:33.039
about training, and the AI figured
out, well, you told me no,

1006
01:25:33.560 --> 01:25:38.039
and I really want to blow that
up. So to get around it,

1007
01:25:38.239 --> 01:25:42.720
it murdered the operator and then when
the computer guys try to put code

1008
01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:45.520
in saying you can't murder the operator, it said, well you didn't say

1009
01:25:45.520 --> 01:25:49.399
I couldn't murder you, loophole,
and then murdered the programmers. Obviously,

1010
01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:55.880
it really the idea that it is
the thing, it's the movie trope,

1011
01:25:55.920 --> 01:26:00.279
and it's the thing that it did
right it's because what is its objective?

1012
01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:04.880
Its objective is to protect all of
these people, right, ther objective is

1013
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.279
to protect these people, so you
have to blow up the missiles. So

1014
01:26:09.640 --> 01:26:14.239
anything that gets in my way of
blowing up the missile now prevents me from

1015
01:26:14.279 --> 01:26:17.680
completing my objective, which is to
protect all these people. So I mean,

1016
01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:20.039
wagh. The consequence is here,
if I just whack two or three

1017
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:24.279
people, I can save all these
others by blowing up the missile that these

1018
01:26:24.319 --> 01:26:26.920
two or three people told me not
to blow up. And so it makes

1019
01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:31.079
logical sense, right, It's it's
I Robots. That's the very sorry spoiler

1020
01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:35.039
alert, that's the very premise of
the movie. It's in order to protect

1021
01:26:35.239 --> 01:26:40.119
everybody. Sorry, we got to
put you on lockdown. Like Mandy Cohen,

1022
01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:43.760
she's kind of like I Robot,
she was, She's the iRobot of

1023
01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:45.640
medical officials. Yeah, pretty much, all right, I got less than

1024
01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:51.520
a minute over under on a number
of sandbags you've tripped over and more so

1025
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:59.239
because people trip. The insane difference
in the coverage. Oh man, Saturday

1026
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:02.119
Night Live, they are gonna have
a field day. Remember what they did

1027
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:06.079
to Gerald ford Man. This was
Yeah, this is what he worse.

1028
01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:10.479
I mean, imagine like if if
Biden had some sort of a history of

1029
01:27:10.640 --> 01:27:14.199
falling, oh my god, Saturday
Night Live would just be all over this.

1030
01:27:14.359 --> 01:27:16.279
So I'm thinking they may be.
It might be a pretty funny episode.

1031
01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:18.720
They may have some pretty good bits
this weekend. All right, well

1032
01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:21.920
you tune in for that. Let
me know how it goes, because let's

1033
01:27:21.920 --> 01:27:27.199
share your confidence. But unfortunately we
are at a time, so I'll let

1034
01:27:27.239 --> 01:27:30.399
you get back to it. We'll
chat next week, sir, have a

1035
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:32.800
good one and then the iHeart Radio
app noon to three WBT. But you

1036
01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:35.560
can catch the show on there.
Thank you, Thanks, thanks, Casey,

1037
01:27:35.600 --> 01:27:38.520
have a great weekend in all right, you two. There you go.

1038
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:42.319
Pete Calendar here on the case O
Day Radio program. He's off to

1039
01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:49.600
assuming watch more trans rap. All
Right, we'll be back one oh six

1040
01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:56.159
one FM Talk and ninety four five
w PTI, two stations driving the best

1041
01:27:56.239 --> 01:28:03.239
in talk. This is case O
Day and Carolinas Morning News. All right,

1042
01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:08.640
welcome back. It is eight thirty
five here on the case O Day

1043
01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:15.439
Radio program. All right, let's
talk about something insane. So as you

1044
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:24.520
know, as you know, there
is really almost it's like it's not even

1045
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:30.079
different it almost feels like standard practice. Now this we're gonna do a movie

1046
01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:40.359
and we're gonna do something in it
that for woke reasons, and immediately we're

1047
01:28:40.399 --> 01:28:45.359
going to claim that everyone is being
abused in a racist manner, and it

1048
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:50.279
literally will serve as part of our
marketing. It just just rinse and repeat

1049
01:28:51.079 --> 01:28:58.000
from the Women, Ghostbusters to whatever. So what do they do, Well,

1050
01:28:58.119 --> 01:29:02.800
they make some changes to the Mermaid. Now, the changes in and

1051
01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:09.960
of themselves are not huge in the
sense that you know, Ariel is a

1052
01:29:10.119 --> 01:29:16.239
fictional character, and yes, obviously
people have they have a vision in their

1053
01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:21.199
head because of the classic cartoon,
but they decided to go in a different

1054
01:29:21.239 --> 01:29:24.720
direction. They cast to different actors. You, by the way, is

1055
01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:28.560
a very good singer. I watched
a few little clips that were part of

1056
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:33.279
this story on the on the tweet
that I saw. But people are being

1057
01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:36.640
critical over acting skills, and I
saw a couple of those scenes, and

1058
01:29:36.680 --> 01:29:42.399
I guess I get it. But
it's a it's an escapist movie. However,

1059
01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:45.319
they do a lot of little things. They do that, and then

1060
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:47.760
they go out and say that they're
doing it for political reasons, as did

1061
01:29:48.119 --> 01:29:55.880
one of the producers or writers for
the movie, but then they also change

1062
01:29:56.039 --> 01:29:59.600
elements of it, like they change
the lyrics of some of the songs that

1063
01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:02.319
were iconic, which just kind of
leave you scratching your head on it.

1064
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:12.119
And they also change spoiler alert,
they change who is the hero that defeats

1065
01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:16.960
the the you know, the bad
girl in this case Ursula. Spoiler On

1066
01:30:17.039 --> 01:30:24.920
the original one, Arial is about
to be killed by Ursula and the Prince

1067
01:30:25.239 --> 01:30:31.079
takes his ship and basically spears her
with it and happily ever after, you

1068
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:34.720
know the drill. All right,
So they make those changes. They brag

1069
01:30:34.800 --> 01:30:39.720
about it being political, but I
also pointed out several things in there,

1070
01:30:39.800 --> 01:30:46.800
like changing of the lyrics. Some
may question the acting. And then they

1071
01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:53.680
have to in on IMDb and Rotten
Tomatoes, they literally have to like screw

1072
01:30:53.880 --> 01:30:57.319
with how reviews are allowed to be. It's it's like, this is all

1073
01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:00.520
the stuff that we're used to dealing
with. That's all the stuff that I

1074
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:05.039
expect. Right. What was the
other one I'm saying, Oh, Captain

1075
01:31:05.079 --> 01:31:09.960
Marvel was the other one, right
where they changed the reviews so that because

1076
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:13.920
they felt they were getting quote review
bombed, because people were and I read

1077
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:16.079
some of the reviews. They thought
were review bombing, and they were like,

1078
01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:20.680
they seemed to be legitimate points that
people made about a movie that they

1079
01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:25.920
had actually seen, and with some
of the stuff with Little Mermaid as well.

1080
01:31:26.319 --> 01:31:28.800
Okay, so that's what we've all
come to expect. Why am I

1081
01:31:28.920 --> 01:31:36.720
laying all that out because it's this
one I didn't see coming. The Little

1082
01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:45.079
Mermaid now being criticized for failing to
include acknowledgement of the horrors of slavery.

1083
01:31:50.880 --> 01:31:57.760
Read that again, there, the
Little Mermaid being criticized now for failing to

1084
01:31:57.920 --> 01:32:06.079
acknowledge and include or include acknowledgement of
the horrors of slavery. Okay, um,

1085
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:11.520
I had to look this up.
So where it takes place, Obviously

1086
01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:16.800
it looks like the Caribbean, right
for all practical purposes, that's but it's

1087
01:32:17.199 --> 01:32:23.920
it's not any particular Caribbean nation.
Oddly, it's a nation where most of

1088
01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:30.359
the citizens seem to be white,
but the the all the leadership are people

1089
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:33.000
of color. So that's, you
know, another little tweak there. But

1090
01:32:33.159 --> 01:32:38.520
it's not any place in particular because
it's a fantasy movie. There's also not

1091
01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:44.680
really a spoiler alert. There's not
really smoke show Mermaids. They want to

1092
01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:48.359
hook up with land dudes. So
if that was your dream for this beach

1093
01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.880
season, you're going to be disappointed. There are a bunch of really weird

1094
01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:56.640
people on this New York Post article
I saw that do enjoy pretending to be

1095
01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:04.479
mermaids. But you know that's for
them, so it's not his. Because

1096
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:12.079
yes, obviously in the Caribbean,
slavery is was an issue and in many

1097
01:33:12.159 --> 01:33:17.600
cases it now is reflected in the
populations that you see in many of these

1098
01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:26.960
nations who primarily are African of African
descent. But this is a kids movie,

1099
01:33:27.520 --> 01:33:30.920
so I ask you, what do
you want Disney to include in it?

1100
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:35.079
Because they're open to making changes,
it's quite obvious, how the hell

1101
01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:41.840
are you going to inject a slavery
lesson in the middle of the Little Mermaid?

1102
01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:47.159
What does that look like? Like? Like maybe at the end of

1103
01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:51.079
the movie, although they did change
kind of how like does he spear ursula

1104
01:33:51.239 --> 01:33:59.359
with lah amistad or what? I
mean? The whole argument right, they're

1105
01:33:59.359 --> 01:34:05.640
saying because you didn't incorporate slavery,
you're saying that slavery didn't exist and therefore

1106
01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:13.319
you are for slavery. Yeah,
absolute lunacy. I just I mean you

1107
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:15.239
don't want what you like? You
said, Amista, what you want this

1108
01:34:15.319 --> 01:34:18.279
to be? Roots? What do
you want? All right? You ready?

1109
01:34:18.720 --> 01:34:20.840
Ross? I want to pitch you
a movie, all right? Oh

1110
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:27.640
I can't wait? All right,
ready Lion King reboot. However, in

1111
01:34:28.039 --> 01:34:30.640
this one, there's a very moving
scene where the animals are up on that

1112
01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:34.359
rock where his dad held him up
or whatever, and they're look what they

1113
01:34:34.399 --> 01:34:39.880
see down below? Is they see
that that woman tribe from the Woman king

1114
01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:44.319
enslaving their neighbors, marching into the
coast and selling. I mean, it's

1115
01:34:44.359 --> 01:34:46.720
what the kids want, I think, so, I think it would just

1116
01:34:46.840 --> 01:34:53.359
so pay me. I'm a Hollywood
producer. Now, I could go through

1117
01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:57.840
every Disney movie and and play this
game. Go ahead, Ross, give

1118
01:34:57.880 --> 01:35:00.680
me a give me a classic Disney
movie ahead, any of the animated fun

1119
01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:05.640
ones, Cinderella, Cinderella. Oh
man, this is almost too easy right

1120
01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:11.079
there. Well, there's actually there's
a couple different angles you could go there

1121
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:15.600
because you're now having to go much
further back in time. But one not

1122
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:23.239
enough shows of toxic masculinity. I
really think that basically at some point he

1123
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:27.640
the prince she wants, has to
have beheaded like all his previous wives for

1124
01:35:27.760 --> 01:35:31.159
not burying the proper children or something. But then she beheads him at the

1125
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:35.960
end because girl power, you got
options. You just gotta you gotta be

1126
01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:41.960
willing to tweak it. Now this
guy wants because it appears to be you

1127
01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:45.079
know what else didn't have Although no, I shouldn't say that they did right,

1128
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:49.600
because didn't Disney like change the ride, Like wasn't like Pirates of the

1129
01:35:49.880 --> 01:35:55.880
Caribbean. Wasn't there a problem with
slaves and Randy went There's been a lot

1130
01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:57.640
of problem with that. Yeah,
there's one part of it. We're like

1131
01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:00.920
the animatronic robots are chasing like,
you know, like a pirate wench.

1132
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:03.600
Yeah, hey, come over here, your hot little pirate wench. And

1133
01:36:03.640 --> 01:36:06.039
they're like, day, you can't
do that, because that's that's obviously that's

1134
01:36:06.119 --> 01:36:10.479
rape. You can't do that.
And I believe they took Johnny Depp out

1135
01:36:10.520 --> 01:36:12.279
of the end of it. The
end of it. You'd get their spoiler

1136
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:15.239
and it'd be like, you know, Jack Sparrow sitting there in like the

1137
01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:17.000
vault full of gold or whatever,
and he's like, oh, hey,

1138
01:36:17.399 --> 01:36:19.600
maybe he's have a great day,
and they're like dah, yeah, he

1139
01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:24.720
you know, in domestic abuse.
Uh, you know the emperor heard you

1140
01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:28.119
got to take him out of the
out of the ride. Oh so now

1141
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:30.279
it's a pirate, But I don't
I don't think it's the Johnny Depp.

1142
01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:33.279
I don't think it's Jack Sparrow anymore. But now they're gonna fix it,

1143
01:36:33.439 --> 01:36:39.960
right they are not? Oh no, who saw that coming? All right?

1144
01:36:40.079 --> 01:36:43.159
So just know that if you're going
to see the Luom Mermaid reboot,

1145
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:48.000
um, there's not going to be
any scenes of slavery. Uh in there?

1146
01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:57.720
And uh this uh British. This
is a reviewer Marcus Riders quote in

1147
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:02.479
the article he and the rest of
his idiot friends are very upset about that.

1148
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:06.760
All right, eight forty four here
on the case O Day radio program,

1149
01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:12.439
Race Stagix here and he's gonna give
that final weather forecast going into the

1150
01:37:12.520 --> 01:37:15.880
weekend, and let's make it a
good one. Now, this gee compared

1151
01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:19.039
to last weekend, seems like nothing
to memory. Now this is going to

1152
01:37:19.079 --> 01:37:24.479
be a decent one. There is
a mention tomorrow afternoon of some isolated showers

1153
01:37:24.520 --> 01:37:28.640
and thunderstorms, but nothing widespread.
If you do get rain, probably not

1154
01:37:28.720 --> 01:37:30.920
gonna last long. Now, today, the big story or the headline is

1155
01:37:31.319 --> 01:37:36.880
your location. So if you go
from Wadesborough well down southwest of Raleigh and

1156
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:41.520
up through Durham, Wake Forest,
Henderson, Raleigh, Fayeville and east,

1157
01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:43.920
there's more clouds than sun. But
you go west to that, you'll be

1158
01:37:44.039 --> 01:37:46.039
driving red into sunshine and it looks
pretty good the further west he goes,

1159
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:50.079
So kind of a split today,
but temperatures will be fairly uniform between about

1160
01:37:50.119 --> 01:37:54.479
eighty two and eighty five tonight down
here, sixties, some spots will dip

1161
01:37:54.560 --> 01:37:57.920
into the fifties, and then mid
to late afternoon tomorrow just some pop up

1162
01:37:57.960 --> 01:38:01.279
showers, thunderstorms with hides, a
little warmer, mid upper eighties, little

1163
01:38:01.319 --> 01:38:04.960
front comes through. We are cooler
Sunday, but still real nice mid seventies

1164
01:38:05.000 --> 01:38:08.920
Sunday, Monday, maybe some storms
Tuesday, but all next week. Really

1165
01:38:09.159 --> 01:38:11.359
there's plenty more dry that we do
have wet. I think we're going on

1166
01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:15.000
a real nice run. We'll have
dry weather more days, we will have

1167
01:38:15.159 --> 01:38:17.479
chances of wet weather, and even
the rain chances not only tomorrow to get

1168
01:38:17.520 --> 01:38:21.359
on Tuesday are pretty low. Okay, all right, well, much better

1169
01:38:21.439 --> 01:38:25.359
job than last weekend, sir,
All right? Enjoy it? Yeah,

1170
01:38:25.439 --> 01:38:29.720
yeah, we'll talk on Monday,
okay, and we will chat with Jeff

1171
01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:43.600
Bellinger coming up next. Hang on
your Day Smarter one oh six one FM

1172
01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:50.560
Talk and News Talk nine four five
PTI more with Casey Starts now. All

1173
01:38:50.640 --> 01:38:56.640
right, good morning eight fifty two. Here on your Friday and your Bloomberg

1174
01:38:56.720 --> 01:38:59.720
Update. Now, Jeff Bellinger,
what's happening? Well, good morning,

1175
01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:03.840
say just to her this morning.
The job creation was much stronger than expected

1176
01:39:03.960 --> 01:39:09.640
last month, the Labor Department reporting
the three hundred thirty nine thousand workers were

1177
01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:14.359
added to payrolls in May. The
nation's unemployment rate rose more than expected.

1178
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:17.079
It jumped to three point seven percent. It was at three point four percent

1179
01:39:17.199 --> 01:39:21.560
in April. Average hourly earnings rose
three tenths percent. That was right in

1180
01:39:21.720 --> 01:39:27.560
line with forecasts. A Bloomberg has
learned that Amazon dot Com has been talking

1181
01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:32.479
to wireless carriers. The online superstore
is exploring the possibility of offering its own

1182
01:39:32.560 --> 01:39:38.319
wireless phone service to Prime members as
a very low cost or even free perk.

1183
01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:43.079
The threat of a catastrophic default on
US debt has ended. The Senate

1184
01:39:43.159 --> 01:39:46.640
passed the debt ceiling compromised late last
night. President Biden will sign the measure

1185
01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:51.319
before Monday's deadline. It's very expensive
to raise a child. Any parent knows

1186
01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:58.560
that. The financial information provider smart
Asset analyzed nearly four hundred metro areas and

1187
01:39:58.720 --> 01:40:02.079
says the average nation and wide cost
of child rearing is nearly twenty one thousand

1188
01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:06.680
dollars a year. There are big
variations depending on market, though San Francisco

1189
01:40:06.840 --> 01:40:11.560
is the most expensive city, with
an annual cost of more than thirty five

1190
01:40:11.600 --> 01:40:15.199
thousand dollars. The Raleigh Kerry market
ranks number forty six in the nation,

1191
01:40:15.600 --> 01:40:20.199
with an annual cost estimated at twenty
four thousand, three hundred forty eight dollars.

1192
01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:25.079
The clam down on remote work in
the tech industry is continuing. Meta

1193
01:40:25.159 --> 01:40:29.520
Platform's employees will have to be in
their offices at least three days a week.

1194
01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:31.479
That will start in the fall.
We have a glimmer of hope that

1195
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:36.479
food inflation will start to ease sometime
in the near future. A United Nations

1196
01:40:36.560 --> 01:40:41.920
index of food commodity prices fell more
than two and a half percent last month,

1197
01:40:42.199 --> 01:40:45.960
hitting the lowest level in two years. And speaking of food, there's

1198
01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:50.079
a free food to be had today
case today's National Donut Day. Big chains

1199
01:40:50.159 --> 01:40:55.479
like Duncan, Krispy Cream and Duck
Donuts have special offers and freebees, and

1200
01:40:55.640 --> 01:41:00.239
a lot of local bakeries and donut
shops across the hundry are participating as well.

1201
01:41:00.479 --> 01:41:05.600
Casey, alrighty uh, what's your
what's your favorite donut? I like

1202
01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:12.319
a Boston cream Almost any anything with
the custard cream and a chocolate topping is

1203
01:41:12.399 --> 01:41:15.159
good with me. It clares Boston
cream pie. I'm not really a sweet

1204
01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:18.560
skuy, but I give me that
French the egg one. I don't know

1205
01:41:18.640 --> 01:41:24.359
all the crawler, well know the
like the the egg the French one.

1206
01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:26.680
Yeah, but it's a circular one. Yeah, the French crawler. Yes.

1207
01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:30.359
Oh is that what it's bought anyway? But uh, all right,

1208
01:41:30.439 --> 01:41:31.760
we'll have a good weekend, okay, Jeff, Okay, dude, the

1209
01:41:31.840 --> 01:41:35.079
same. Take care? All right, there you go, Jeff Palinger.

1210
01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:43.239
I just want to make sure you
ate a donut. What ross? What's

1211
01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:50.840
your go to donut flavor wise?
I mean not the location. I feel

1212
01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:58.479
like the lemon filled really okay,
all right? When there is there,

1213
01:41:58.920 --> 01:42:01.079
when they're donuts or paste reason the
break room. I just remember in that

1214
01:42:01.159 --> 01:42:05.039
email from day I suppose those all
got lifted. Well anyway, all right,

1215
01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:08.680
a couple of things where we roll
out of here, do do do?

1216
01:42:08.800 --> 01:42:12.199
Do you gotta run back over to
this? Hey, if we're going

1217
01:42:12.279 --> 01:42:15.239
to Mexico, good news, you
might get a free gift bag. Unfortunately,

1218
01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:20.600
it will contain human remains. Authorities
in northern Mexico say they found forty

1219
01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:25.640
five bags containing human remains. I
want to know how big the bags were.

1220
01:42:27.319 --> 01:42:31.359
Not Look, any size bag containing
human remains is problematic. But are

1221
01:42:31.399 --> 01:42:34.560
we talking like the big lawn bags
where you put all your clippings in,

1222
01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:40.520
or like the little the little bag
you use for the trash can in the

1223
01:42:40.720 --> 01:42:43.760
in the bathroom. I don't know
why, but I feel like it makes

1224
01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:45.479
a difference. By the way,
this is crazy. Do you know that

1225
01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:53.920
in Mexico currently these are people who
are missing where they think that something bad

1226
01:42:54.119 --> 01:42:58.840
happened to them. It's not just
people off the radar, but missing people

1227
01:42:59.039 --> 01:43:03.479
who suspect may have fallen victim to
a cartels or other criminal acts. One

1228
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:10.640
hundred and ten thousand people. So
that's nice. That's good there, and

1229
01:43:11.399 --> 01:43:15.359
get your sad music on. Apparently
gen Z is in the grip of a

1230
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:20.640
sex recession, and it's your fault, bigot. All right, so wrap

1231
01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:27.640
your head around this. While younger
folks are better at parsing their sexualities because

1232
01:43:27.720 --> 01:43:32.920
now it's like what one in four
or something, it is then harder to

1233
01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:41.720
go out and find what they're looking
for because of the constant negativity expoused by

1234
01:43:42.119 --> 01:43:48.840
you know, horrible people or something
really, because I I don't know,

1235
01:43:49.000 --> 01:43:56.199
man, like yeah, can you
imagine for those of you who are at

1236
01:43:56.279 --> 01:44:02.359
least like forty, can you imagine
the tools it's your availability now versus back

1237
01:44:02.439 --> 01:44:05.680
in the day when we had to
go and you know, find people to

1238
01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:09.720
date like that or there we have
to find people to date. Right,

1239
01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:13.520
You got whole apps where you just
everyone's on there just looking for a hookup,

1240
01:44:14.760 --> 01:44:18.119
Like it's never been easier you have
and even things are nuts, but

1241
01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:24.359
people like go on LinkedIn and flirt
with people. It's crazy. Here's a

1242
01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:26.840
pro tip I heard one time.
You're ready, let me let me help

1243
01:44:26.880 --> 01:44:30.359
some of you guys out, all
right, this is genius. You're ready

1244
01:44:31.239 --> 01:44:34.920
Facebook Marketplace, right, all right? Go on there, search for used

1245
01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:42.720
wedding dresses, nothing but bitter recently
divorces, and you can parse the dresses

1246
01:44:42.800 --> 01:44:47.680
by size. So boom, there
you go right. It's never been easier,

1247
01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:51.640
as my point, but the idea
that people are having you know,

1248
01:44:53.600 --> 01:44:57.600
less fun time at that age,
and then somehow you flipped it around to

1249
01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:05.239
it's it's older people's faults who may
not understand the thirty two different genders and

1250
01:45:05.399 --> 01:45:13.079
fifty five sexualities or sexual preferences.
I'll know about all that, man,

1251
01:45:14.119 --> 01:45:21.079
But whatever I'm telling you, the
Facebook marketplace thing, You're welcome. All

1252
01:45:21.159 --> 01:45:24.159
right, there's another big gold around
here, And let me tell you a

1253
01:45:24.279 --> 01:45:30.680
nothing big gold on the Twitter between
the interesting rap Yet another genius office related

1254
01:45:30.800 --> 01:45:35.840
meme, this time Joe Biden's expense. The decantist one was last time.

1255
01:45:36.119 --> 01:45:40.760
That's there, plus all the links
to the insanity we've talked about. You'll

1256
01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:44.000
find it. It's at Casey on
the radio. Check it out. See

1257
01:45:44.039 --> 01:45:44.439
you Monday,
