If it doesn't knock your power out, well I guess you can 4 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.199 still nap through that. But yeah, we got depending on where you are, 5 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.719 little spurts of not so great weather. Ray stage it will be here 6 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:29.039 coming up a little later on to guide us through that. All right, 7 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.200 So we got lots to get through the this morning. We have we have 8 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:47.799 vaccine waters insanity, we have she jack in sanity again. Oh hold on, 9 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.119 hold on, not trying to hit the button, trying to move the 10 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.880 audio cut? All right, that's my bad. All right's gonna have to 11 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.960 clean that up. Sorry, dude. So we'll get to that. Of 12 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.400 course, Stephen Kent, he'll join us in our number three get into it 13 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.480 is some nerd stuff. I guess there's I want to talk about the new 14 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.799 video game adaptions because I saw people that were I have not seen this. 15 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:22.280 I guess it's on Prime Video, so I don't know. But now there's 16 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.640 the Fallout series, what was the what's the other series that ross you've been 17 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.439 watching? I'm trying to remember what it is or am I am? I 18 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.439 mixing it up here hanging out. Well, well, look we're gonna get 19 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.079 into it with Steven Kent because there are look, Hollywood's pulling off a lot 20 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.719 of video games, and I don't I think that's a fascinating discussion and something 21 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.920 that has been both a curse usually a curse, but also a benefit in 22 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:56.359 my young life compared to me in my four early forties. But still, 23 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.840 you know, we were the era of video games, of the video game 24 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.400 generation, so since like day one, I know, people argue and they're 25 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.199 like, uh, yeah, well those are home consoles and you know, 26 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.000 going back and pack it, got it, got it, okay, whatever. 27 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.520 But the fact is it has been absolutely cringe worthy so many times in 28 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:28.080 my life where some some video game they've parlayed into a either a movie or 29 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.240 a TV show and it didn't go well. And there's some there's some there's 30 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.719 some classic examples out there. Trying to think of the first video game movie 31 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.199 that really captured my attention, I think I know which one. It is. 32 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.080 The first video game movie that captured my attention as a kid, right 33 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:51.919 because I'm a kid and I was really excited about. It was the the 34 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.560 very same movie that made everybody think they needed a Nintendo glove, which was 35 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.879 absolutely worthless. Have any of you ever tried to play a game with that 36 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.280 Nintendo glove? No? No, he didn't have one, but my rich 37 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.719 buddy did. And I remember thinking, wow, this thing's a piece of 38 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:17.479 crap. But was the the Wizard? I think was the was the name? 39 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.120 Right? The Wizard? And uh, basically some kid really good at 40 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.919 video games Nintendo? And well it's been so long, I don't remember the 41 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.439 plot. That's a good movie, right, No, no, no, 42 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.360 no, the glove was the glove? You know? The glove was trash 43 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.639 and garbage. Yeah, but man, when you saw that movie, you 44 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.360 wanted one, didn't you. Sure? Yeah yeah, and you put that 45 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.719 thing on your leg. This is like, yeah, yeah, all right, 46 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.639 So so the gloves sucked. But the movie, the movie When You're 47 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.039 a Kid is about a kid who's really good at doing something you really love 48 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.960 and he's having a battle through to go and prove that he's the best in 49 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.639 the world. And wasn't it reno where they held it? Looking back at 50 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.759 that movie? But first I was a giant commercial for Super Mario Brothers three 51 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.159 that was the first time a lot of us saw that game, and it 52 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.479 like, yeah, pumped us up to get that game, and then the 53 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.560 game ended up being like amazing, legendary. Yes, but the kid also 54 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.680 in that movie is clearly autistic, but we did not know that back in 55 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.079 the day. Really, you go back and watch that movie. The kid 56 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.720 is autistic. But they and they did the movie without ever saying a one 57 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.439 thousand percent. We watched that movie recently, we're like, that kid is 58 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.160 so it's a it's a movie about autistic child who's really good at video games. 59 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.480 Yeah, I mean that sounds like something they'd put on TV today. 60 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.199 It does, unapologize and then they'd make him a doctor or whatever that does 61 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.800 that show still on? What is the show I'm thinking of the Good Doctor, 62 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.560 Good Doctor? Yeah, I never really watched, which is weird because, 63 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.240 like they he presents autism as if he he he moves like he's and 64 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.360 he talks like he's C three po Right, you go, and now that 65 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.399 they've said that, go and watch the show just for a little bit and 66 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.839 watch the show, not the movie, right, the show. Watch the 67 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.839 way he moves, his mannerism is the way he is C three po That's 68 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.600 how he interprets autism, and it's very strange. I had, I had 69 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.199 no idea, okay, all right, and then now I'm gonna have to 70 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.360 rewatch that. I wonder where I could even watch that. It's called The 71 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.920 Wizard, right. Uh, let's see here, I'm gonna look at my 72 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.879 little thing here. You know. It's really defeating today is when you want 73 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:27.879 to watch a movie and then like you check the nine services that you actually 74 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.120 pay for and it's not on there. Okay, weren't something like weird movie 75 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.639 you seeing the long time and they want to charge you twenty dollars for it? 76 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.199 Like there were? Oh yeah, like you'll earnest me. Yeah yeah, 77 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.959 yeah, here it is, yeah, from nineteen eighty nine. Uh 78 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.240 is it streaming anywhere? No? No, it's not streaming. All right. 79 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:53.480 What do you think that movie costs to buy? Uh? Fifteen bucks? 80 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.319 You're exactly right, fifteen dollars. You know what. I don't want 81 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.839 to see it that bad? Sorry, exactly. The biggest video game movie 82 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.079 disappointment the first time I was ever sitting in a movie theater, I was 83 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.040 like clearly disappointed. It never happened before, but going to the movies is 84 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.720 like Magic was the original Super Mario Brothers movie. Sitting in the theater and 85 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.519 trying to watch that, Yeah, what is this piece of garbage? Yeah? 86 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.279 I knew. I agree it wasn't good, but I'm trying to think 87 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.439 of all of the super did you know you're sitting that was the first one 88 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.959 that I can remember. Yeah, oh okay, yeah, no, no, 89 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.600 no, that's fair because there's been a lot of Stemen piles over the 90 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.399 years. But you like the new Halo series and I but I guess the 91 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.319 new Fallout series. Everyone is like, this is amazing. I was, 92 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.879 yeah, it looks so good and looking forward to it, but then IGN 93 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.399 rated it a nine, so now I'm not so sure. Oh no, 94 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.480 gave me a little pause. Okay, all right, well, prap, 95 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.680 I didn't know that the best show ever. You're like, oh boo, 96 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.079 and it's on Prime, so if you know I do have that one. 97 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.680 I'm like, oh, I'm gonna be able to watch this now. I 98 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.920 wait until all the episodes come out, but like me happy, I'm like, 99 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.319 ah, you have to fall Out. And you have to understand. 100 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.319 I'm not a player of either game, nor you. I don't think you 101 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.240 played Fallout either. I mean, you know, I know, it's one 102 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.800 of my favorite series. Oh, if you like the Fallout, it's Halo. 103 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.160 You never played, right, Halo didn't play. So I went into 104 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.160 that clean like clean slate, and I enjoyed it because I know nothing about 105 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.639 the lore. But fans of the game series hate the show because there has 106 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.720 nothing to do with it. They can change the story. Good. That 107 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.879 doesn't bother me because I have no BA but Fallout, all right, So 108 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.560 that's a higher bar. That's gonna be a higher bar in your pit completely. 109 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.319 Yeah, okay, I stream Fallout all the time. I love it. 110 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:41.800 I don't know it. I'm assuming it's you know, apocalyp is it 111 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.000 A is it? I don't know what the Yeah, yeah, it's uh 112 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.959 okay. So it's like nineteen imagine like if the timeline of America instead of 113 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:59.199 imagine if we completely embraced nuclear technology and the the progress. Yeah, pretty 114 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.319 much, we become the Jetsons. But but in this timeline there's also a 115 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.439 big, huge nuclear war and a lot of civilization go into the vaults to 116 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.920 uh, you know, try to survive, and then later on they come 117 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.240 out of the vaults and then they you know, they try to prosper So 118 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.600 fall Out, you know, pretty standard thing there, and all of a 119 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.040 sudden everyone's super Warrior, right, there are super mutants. Yeah, yeah, 120 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.600 but there's also a Borderlands, uh movie coming out. They have enough 121 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.480 guns for that. I don't know, man, because you need like a 122 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.279 bajillion gazillion guns for that. Yeah, is that a dude? John Rambo 123 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.559 like a you know, a little cameo. I mean the trailer. We 124 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.840 saw the trail. We took a Lincoln for his birthday, his twelfth birthday, 125 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.279 We to him to go see a Kung Fu Panda four and that was 126 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.440 one of the previous and he knows Borderlands. He was like, oh, 127 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.000 this looks great. It looks good, but who knows. All right, 128 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.240 well, this is this is We'll get into this with Steven Kent coming up 129 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.039 a little later. But first we have we have of justice. We gotta 130 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.279 get some we gotta get we gotta get our justice on as what I don't 131 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.519 know, kind of feels like within the media feels a lot like we're trying 132 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.000 to do another George Floyd thing here again, and I don't know if this 133 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.759 story holds up to that. So you have a you have a a dude 134 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:31.159 in the car, he gets stop by police. According to the reports, 135 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.960 he is a He is not to be in possession of a weapon based on 136 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:46.559 some some you know, some other interactions with our legal system. We give 137 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.399 you the CNN version. This is in Tennessee. Tennessee State Senator uh State 138 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.039 Center London Lamar says, quote, she feels like a slave sometimes in the 139 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:03.840 state. Oh yes, all right, so that's quite the setup. Obviously, 140 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.000 this is their own very activist elected official in Tennessee. Also, she 141 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.320 referred to no, I'm sorry, her cohort, Senator Charlene Oliver, has 142 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.840 literally called for riots in the past, and in this instance is intimating that 143 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.519 again, all of these things would be the key focus of any story for 144 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:31.000 if it was Republicans saying this stuff. Referring to a bill known as the 145 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.679 Jim Crow Bill, which is what they referred to it, that was put 146 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.279 in by Senator Brett Taylor and quote all of his confederates. So again I'm 147 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.440 coming through the lens of his political opponents. Now what is the bill? 148 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:52.960 So the bill orders police to ignore basically what the Memphis City Council has been 149 00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.279 doing. Memphis is an absolute shooting gallery, absolute shooting gallery. In Memphis, 150 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.679 the city council voted to order police to no longer pull over motorists for 151 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:13.240 routine traffic violations. Expired registration, you know how your lights aren't working, 152 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.240 you know all all of these things that for forever have been part of it, 153 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.039 and yes, don't get me wrong, have also been used by police, 154 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.799 arguably to you know, camel's nose under the tent in some situations, 155 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.000 but you know, like unintended. I'll give you an example. So they 156 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.679 go and they pull over a car that's speeding at three in the morning. 157 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.440 And you know, you see these stories where they do that and then all 158 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:46.200 of a sudden everything goes sideways because somebody's got a warrant or they're speeding inexplicably 159 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.120 with nine pounds of drugs in the car. You see these crazy stories. 160 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.120 Well, this went in a different direction, and from CNN, this is 161 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.600 how the story is set up. How did a traffic stop for not wearing 162 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.240 a seatbelt end with ninety six gunshots, an injured officer and a dead twenty 163 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:11.200 six year old some say, and by some he means the video of from 164 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.840 six different angles from the officers that you can watch some say it was because 165 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.759 Dexter Reid fired at officers first. Some believe the stop never should have happened, 166 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.679 all right, so we're turning into this the great civil rights thing. 167 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.320 And then they get mom out there for a press conference and she's losing her 168 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.799 mind. By the way, here she is it just bought his new car 169 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.399 three days before that. He was just riding them around in his car. 170 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.840 He's a mom, right, and I killed him? And then she literally 171 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.879 falls back like a Chappelle skin. And again, my thing is not I 172 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.919 tried to beef with the family members. Her kid could have absolutely been a 173 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.519 staying on the criminal justice system, but she's it's still her son. So 174 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.320 all right, So that that's where we are. However, if you're gonna 175 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.039 run that clip, and you are a news reporter and that's what you're attempting 176 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.080 to do to report news, you might provide some context, like what happened 177 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.279 during the traffic stop? Right because this is her narrative right here. In 178 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.120 fact, let me let's let's plug her narrative into the is that does that 179 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.159 sound like what happened? Okay? All right, see you heard mom's explanation, 180 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.000 because she obviously was not there. But uh knows everything that happened, 181 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.120 and according to her, the whole incident kind of went like this, running 182 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:48.519 along the autimally with the AI recreation machine is amazing in here, by the 183 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.279 way, that is really good. We got new AI text. So all 184 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.639 right. The problem is, that's not what happened according to the videos, 185 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.240 according to any of the reports. Even if you want to throw the reports 186 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.759 out because you're like, oh, it's all biased, that's not what happened, 187 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.399 not according to anything we can see or any of the witness statements. 188 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:15.360 What happened is a little different. So they pull him over and it turned 189 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.799 into a situation where dudes, he rolls the window down, becomes hostile with 190 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.120 police. He's not happy, but he's also he's within the realm of just 191 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.279 somebody who's just really po They got pulled over. The problem is that he 192 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.639 had a firearm allegedly, and by allegedly, I mean you can see it 193 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.600 throughout, and he's not allowed to possess a firearm, and you generally don't 194 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.080 want to brandish one when the police are pulling you. Well maybe I don't 195 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.159 know. I'm not the traffic stop expert. Ross if he get pulled over. 196 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.639 What would you say, should would be a best practice that you should 197 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.519 do. I would roll down your window, immediately, stare the cop in 198 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.279 the eyes, and say, am I being detained? All right? Well, 199 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.799 he didn't do any of those. In fact, while he did roll 200 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.799 down the window, he then started to roll it up, and he started 201 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.480 moving stuff around in there. And as soon as that's what you're doing, 202 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.000 officers got questions. So, following your scenario, he did do step one. 203 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.360 Then he started rolling it up. Next step to alleviate the situation, 204 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.879 so everyone goes home? Is what you draw a glock from your waistband? 205 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.039 Right? I always say that would be a bad idea, Probably shoot a 206 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.639 what if you're like Old West, quick with it? I would say, 207 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.519 babe, they'll be impressed. Not gonna end Well, I would say that 208 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.399 if I had like a top ten list of things not to do, it 209 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.480 would be a younger one on the list. Don't do that, don't immediately 210 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.080 grab a firearm in your waistband, and and and then all right, so 211 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.440 Ross is like so, and then you shoot at him eleven times? Right 212 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.039 too? Like help the officers trade because those are things that happened. Unlike 213 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.080 Mom's version here so uh, anyway, just expect that to turn into a 214 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.279 whole thing. And the thing we predicted is turning into a thing up in 215 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.519 Baltimore. I knew it was. I knew it would do it. You 216 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.840 knew it would. And we'll share that with you coming up case O Day 217 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.879 radio program. Yeah yeah, yeah at the old Planet Fitness. I know 218 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:17.080 I don't want to be doing another Planet Fitness story either, but here we 219 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:23.639 be. Although I will take issue with some quotes in this bad boy Okay, 220 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:30.720 so check this out. Christopher Miller, aged thirty eight, was arrested 221 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:37.639 after going into the women's locker room at the Gastonia Planet Fitness on South New 222 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.399 Hope. Bro. This happened last week. Now we're getting more. Now 223 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:47.080 we're getting the details and the initial appearance. So Planet Fitness, obviously you're 224 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.879 aware they have a policy you can use the no judgment based on what you 225 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.240 identify as and that's the locker room you can use. However, the evil, 226 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:06.119 horrible, bigoted women at this Planet Fitness they were not having this, 227 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.799 you know, in their evil bigotry. And also the part where, according 228 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:15.279 to police, the dude who's got he looks like a scuzzy homeless, dreadlock, 229 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.480 younger dude who probably went to too many music festivals his thirties slipped away, 230 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.640 he accomplished nothing. That's just the vibe I get. But according to 231 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.400 women at the Planet Fitness, the dude was in the women's locker room. 232 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:36.279 He was buck naked man, and he was not only naked, but he 233 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:42.759 was trying to coerce women into rubbing some lotion on him and maybe helping him 234 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:49.000 in the shower. When initially approached, the man said he identifies as a 235 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.720 woman and wouldn't leave, and then again started just walking around the locker room 236 00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:00.079 everything out, trying to find somebody to rub lotion on him. Here's what 237 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.400 I think is rich. By the way, Clark Simon, the former president 238 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.319 of Charlotte Pride, said Planet Fitness's policy is a big fan. Clark's a 239 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.119 big fan. However, Clark added that there's no excuse for someone who's not 240 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.400 transgender to violate the space. All right, who the hell are you, 241 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.160 Clark? Who are you to sit there and tell this person that they're not 242 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.319 transgender? I'm serious. Every time somebody's tried to be like, all right, 243 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.920 so what actually constitutes that? And you have a whole swath argument of 244 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.079 people saying, you know, chromosome will make up is a pretty good place 245 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.519 to start. And then the activists will run out and they'll be like, 246 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.359 you know, but there's people who have contaminated chromosomes so they have this Kleinfelter 247 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.839 syndrome. And and you're like, okay, yeah, but not twenty five 248 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.599 percent of gen z and polling. What are you talking about. So for 249 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.680 this guy to go, oh no, this is not this is not a 250 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:06.039 trans he met the equivalent standard that you have asked for and you have advocated 251 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:11.319 for, which is simply telling you that he identifies as a woman. And 252 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.359 it is this disconnect And anytime I see these stories where they're like, oh, 253 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:21.279 well that person that wasn't a real transgender person, and it's like, 254 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.359 all right, well what is. Well, you're a bigot for asking because 255 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.359 it's in the you know, it's how a person feels, so you can't 256 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.200 put standards on it. It's like, well, you just use some imaginary 257 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.160 standards to try to make it look like this person is not what they say 258 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.039 they are. And I'm just asking what are those standards? Who knows, 259 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:47.319 maybe we agree with those standards Miller's in charge or in jail, among charges, 260 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.680 there was a miner in the locker room, so that's the toothy one. 261 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:59.079 They'll try to get them with. Let's see here. Oh. They 262 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.519 also put this line up and they say that there's no indication that Miller self 263 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:08.119 reported before the incident. Specifically, there's no indication that Miller contacted an employee 264 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.640 prior and said, hey, just so you know, I am a transwoman 265 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.279 and before entering the locker room, which is wildly disingenuous because under Planet Fitness's 266 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.680 policy, there is no requirement for that. Read the policy. They don't 267 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.480 have to go and explain themselves to somebody. And that's intentional, right, 268 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.279 because if they did, if they had to pass some sort of test, 269 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:42.279 this Clark Simon idiot and his crew would be out there. How dare you 270 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.079 force somebody to explain something like this to you? If they say it, 271 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.799 that's good enough. And now in retrospect they're like, well obviously he wasn't. 272 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.559 I mean, all this could be avoided if people just when they went 273 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.119 to the gym they were like, I am and I have like the discipline 274 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.519 and the dedication not to go to the bathroom like I don't understand these people 275 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.200 that go to the gym and they're like, I'm gonna I have to go 276 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:03.640 number one. I have to go number two. I have it, Listen, 277 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.759 I have the discipline and the focus where I have. I don't think 278 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.920 I've gone number two in like two years, just out of sheer determination and 279 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.119 grit. And you go to the gym. Yeah, these people go to 280 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.079 the gym and they're like, I have to the bathroom, man, come 281 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.480 on, come on, what Yeah, so that's the problem, that's the 282 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.559 problem. Yeah, you're not focusing on Yeah, that's a good point. 283 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.160 You know, if you just don't go in the locker room, right, 284 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.279 you know, when you're walking around naked by himself right, right, exactly 285 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.400 as we all know when you walk into Planet Fitness, right, you have 286 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.680 to you have the check in booth on your left, right right, where 287 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.640 you can you know, check in, use your black card or buy a 288 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.559 beverage or whatever or going or whatever it is. And then you have the 289 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:52.920 little cubby lockers you can use on your left which have like a little uh 290 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.720 locking mechanism on it. Don't even need to bring your own lock And that's 291 00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.119 where I put my keys in my wallet and my maybe my jacket. You 292 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.720 put it up there. I don't even have time to focus on the bathroom. 293 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.359 You kidding me? People are lazy, You ross blazy people who I 294 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.920 eat twenty eggs every morning and I go straight to the gym and I hold 295 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.359 it like a man. Well, thank god. Can you imagine what twenty 296 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.599 eggs post worked out would do to a locker room? Dude? Even know 297 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.200 what that place looks like. You know, you'd be the guy in the 298 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.839 story, not for showing your jump to a kid, but for you know, 299 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.000 terrorism charge. That's just when to start the day. Twenty eggs then 300 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.079 did an hour of cardio, and then he used the bathroom, and oh 301 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.680 my god, we had to have these people complaining about the locker room or 302 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.160 the bathroom. You're weak, you need to get swollen, Just go outside. 303 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.440 Or are you ready for this? Get the wide mouth gatorade bottle when 304 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.000 you're on the machine. What right, right? Be right? You don't 305 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.680 have time. This is a great idea, dude. And if somebody's like, 306 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.279 oh, oh my gosh, the guy's got his junk out on the 307 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.599 elliptical, the question for that other gym goer would be like, why are 308 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.079 you staring at his junk. You purv Yeah, focus on your routine. 309 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.759 Man, Oh that's why you're fat. He is day twenty eggs. You 310 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:10.839 keep this up, He's gonna go over to your house and use your bathroom. 311 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.119 Oh man, all right, look at that. Well we solve that 312 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.680 problem right away, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight 313 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:22.799 seven before everything's so dumb. But my question stands, right, if your 314 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.279 lifetime has spent advocating for a policy where nobody ever has to prove or explain 315 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.119 anything on this on this topic, and anyone who questions it is a bigot, 316 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:37.480 you can't then decide that they didn't meet the cut when asking what the 317 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.240 cut is could get you essentially canceled. So Ross, take Ross's advice, 318 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.480 hold it cowards, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight 319 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:55.119 seven four. Hypothetically, I have a question. What if one of you, 320 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.160 or me, for that matter, showed up at the local city council 321 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:08.000 meeting and during public input session held aloft a weapon or an object that was 322 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:17.039 to be weaponized, and threatened the mayor with striking her with it if she 323 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:22.039 doesn't acquiesce to a demand. How do you think that that would fly, 324 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.960 or walking into congressional hearing, or walking into a county commissioner's meeting or school 325 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.880 board meeting. Right if you rolled up in there and made a threatening statement 326 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.920 with the object you were threatening this elected official with. I feel like, 327 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.519 can you imagine the news story, especially if it's some like woke mayor and 328 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.799 some guy in a maga hat like there would be the only story see the 329 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:51.319 fascist or doing what the fascists are doing? Do you know that happened yesterday? 330 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:59.599 Kind of? And it happened in North Carolina, that's the thing in 331 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.240 and it involved a mayor, the mayor of Raleigh in this case, Mary 332 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:12.799 Anne Baldwin, vape enthusiast and a parade hater. Right, So let's take 333 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:17.079 that scenario, with all of the insanity over the Christmas preate. Let's say 334 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:22.079 that one of the organizers from the Christmas preade showed up and threatened the mayor 335 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.480 with an object, threatening to quote strike her with it based on not doing 336 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.200 this thing that they wanted them to. You know, basically, hey, 337 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.240 if you don't do this, this is something that could happen to you. 338 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:42.400 I'll explain how she worded it. The angry Leprechaun in question, but the 339 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.920 reaction on the part of law enforcement city, I didn't the f is going 340 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.799 on. I can't think of a scenario where anyone listening to this show could 341 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.359 pull that stunt. But it happened, and we'll give you the details next 342 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.119 here on the CaCO Day Radio program. As you know, there's been a 343 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.480 bunch of Gaza activists who've been showing up and taking over anything and everything because 344 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.519 we've created this permissive environment where whatever your cause is, you can ruin everybody 345 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.839 else's day if you don't feel that they're acquiescing to you. So that's great. 346 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.400 So anyway, this nutjob angry Leprechaun or something, I don't know. 347 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.799 She's wearing like the Palestinian pullover with the bright red hair, so I'm just 348 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.759 very confused. But anyway, the individual whose name we don't have, I'm 349 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:38.079 sure somebody knows who she is, obviously, But during the public input session, 350 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:45.519 the speaker who identified herself as Catherine, held up a shoe. Now, 351 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:51.920 for those of you who are old enough to remember the George Bush incident, 352 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.799 right where George Bush was? Where was he was he in Dubai or 353 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.759 Cutter somewhere in the Middle East, I don't remember. And he's holding that 354 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.480 press conference and a dude, who, by the way, was on a 355 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:12.119 press pass. The dude showed up about you know, middle second or third 356 00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.240 question stood up and you can see Bush immediately realize he's about to get a 357 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.160 shoe thrown at him, and he does the duck and cover and everyone's seen 358 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:26.319 the video, and at the time people were celebrating, but they also talked 359 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:32.039 about how there is that is an insult. That is an insult within certain 360 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.079 segments of the Middle East. Right, Showing somebody the bottom of your shoe 361 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:41.400 and throwing it at him is just the worst. So this activist gets up, 362 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.599 identifies or identifies herself as Catherine and holds the shoe up. That's not 363 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.240 a good start. And frankly, I again, I feel like if it 364 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:59.119 was somebody who politically was not you know, mostly all there with the mayor 365 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.480 and they held up a shoe in a threatening manner. And why do I 366 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.240 say it's a threatening manner because she then uttered the words quote Mary Anne Baldwin. 367 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.920 If I can keep from throwing the shoe at you, you can keep 368 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.599 off your phone while listening to your constituents talk. People are trying to get 369 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.759 you to hear them, and they have heard you for months and months. 370 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:26.200 They even voted on a resolution. They even voted on a resolution to not 371 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:33.680 go forward with the Gaza piece thing that you're asking for, which, well, 372 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.039 I don't understand how that would work. Again, the City of Raleigh 373 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.000 doesn't have anything with it. This is about demanding allegiance and fealty to whatever 374 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.160 their position is. But that and here is, by the way, here 375 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.599 is the audio you ready, Mary and Baldwin. If I can keep from 376 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:51.680 throwing the shoe at you, you can keep from off your phone while listening 377 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:57.920 to your constituents talk. Please, Your people are trying to get you to 378 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:02.680 hear them. Now, let me say this. I share this woman's frustration, 379 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.240 even if I think she's a lunatic, who, by the way, 380 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:10.880 has gotten more attention and even a vote from somebody who has no There's nothing 381 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.240 they can do about this, right. This is about forcing people to tell 382 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.640 you that you're awesome and you have good ideas. That being said, I 383 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:26.240 share her frustration and have been in many council, county board school board meetings 384 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.759 having covered that for years. Back in the day, where during public input 385 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.759 session you'll see council members sitting there, jacket around in their fact clearly not 386 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.359 paying attention. And I always found that. I always found that very frustrating 387 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.519 and rude. So I'm with you on that. However, I can't think 388 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.559 of a scenario where somebody who might be ideologically opposed to the direction of the 389 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.599 city council rolls in makes that statement holding the item. They're saying that it's 390 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.799 so glad I'm not throwing this, because if I was throwing this, this 391 00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.720 is what suck for you. And it walks out of the meeting and nothing 392 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:06.839 happen. Weapons that's insane. They you know, they arrested a dad who 393 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.640 showed up at a school board meeting because his kid was raped and the superintendent 394 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.039 wanted to lie and say he wasn't and that turned into such a big case 395 00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:19.599 they had to literally purge the prosecutor. Do I think she was gonna throw 396 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.559 the shoot? Probably not. But I also, you know, I've been 397 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.640 watching the uh you know, the lunatics driving up and down, having many 398 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.240 gaza parades with their vehicles covered in flags, doing sixty. And I got 399 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.039 killed at the roundabout at NC State driving back from a delicious steak dinner, 400 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.079 kind of sneaking back through there, and thank god the uber stopped at the 401 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:48.119 roundabout because they want flying through the damn thing. I haven't called somebody I 402 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.200 know on the police force. He's like, yeah, that's the thing that 403 00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:59.799 keeps happening. How do you go in and do this and not catch a 404 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.960 charge or something. It's mind boggling to me. But you know what, 405 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.279 these are the pigeons you want to keep throwing grain at Mare. This is 406 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.440 welcome, This is you get everything that you signed up for. So you 407 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.359 might want to hit that vight pen a few times and you know, sink 408 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.960 into oblivion. I guess too. I get over it. Baldwin did release 409 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:26.160 the statement saying last night's gesture, oh we're calling it a gesture, violated 410 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.240 the rules of decorum and was inappropriate. This is why we have police inside 411 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:37.440 the chambers to manage these situations and minimize disruptions. Again, somebody threatened to 412 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.720 throw a shoe at you if you didn't do exactly what they wanted. Inspired 413 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.440 by Ross's policy of thee at the gym of You're only a psychopath would use 414 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:51.480 the bathroom there, so hold an end coward. I feel like that's a 415 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.119 good policy. Now, this is probably gonna irritate some of you, but 416 00:31:55.200 --> 00:32:00.400 I don't care because I'm right. Two of the golfers at the Master, 417 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:06.119 Scottie Scheffler, who is I believe mathematically one of the favorites, if not 418 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.519 the favorite to win it. I don't know what the numbers sit at today. 419 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:17.680 Let's see Scotti Scheffler, and and by the way, Scheffler's won the 420 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.039 Masters before too. By the way, so he is a past champion, 421 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:29.559 Scheffler. And what is the other guy's name, Burns? Yeah, all 422 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.839 right, So why am I announcing what's up with these two? So both 423 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.160 of them have wives that are pregnant, are not only pregnant, but are 424 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:52.079 expecting and feasibly are due within the next week to two weeks, so end 425 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.880 of the week, maybe next week. So look, the probability that their 426 00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:01.240 wives go into labor during the Masters probably on the lower side. But you'd 427 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:07.240 ever know, especially out there and you know, watching watching your husband's play. 428 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.920 And I told you, man, it's one of the one of the 429 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:16.839 craziest kept secrets that the this was at the PGA Championship is when you had 430 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:23.039 the press credential and you could move everywhere. What I found was fascinating was 431 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:27.480 they have a rooftop like at the clubhouse for the club I was at, 432 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:32.319 which is in Minnesota, or they held a PGA championship. The roof of 433 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:38.000 the clubhouse is a big outdoor bar restaurant, and that wasn't open to the 434 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:43.680 general public. It was for for media people to get food, but also 435 00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.920 for all the wags as they call them, the wives and girlfriends. And 436 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.960 I remember going up there and hitting the media catering thing and I look over 437 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.319 and look, these guys do okay, right, so you got you know, 438 00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.160 you got nothing but smoke. Show wives sitting right, mostly not the 439 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.680 girlfriends, because the girlfriends will still follow their men around on the course. 440 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:09.280 It's just interesting. But man, they're just sitting there talking about which color 441 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.039 maserati they're getting, showing off their jewelry and stuff like, which is fine 442 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.760 whatever. I don't care if everybody's happy. Everybody's happy. But the last 443 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.159 thing they're talking about is golf, which I found interesting. And now these 444 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.119 two women, the wives of these two golfers, they stand in a position 445 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:34.000 where both of their husbands have said that if they go into labor. They're 446 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:39.679 withdrawing from the tournament, and they're gonna go be by their side, which 447 00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:45.599 Scotti Scheffler is one of the favorites to win, and he's won before, 448 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.360 and I can't imagine that scenario. Now, there was a golfer who was 449 00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:55.599 winning the Canadian Open and I can't remember his name. I remember it was 450 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.480 a big story because his wife did go into labor and he left and possibly 451 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.719 was foregoing like two million dollars doing it, which is I was gonna be 452 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:10.639 ironic down the road when she's like once you know, maybe money gets a 453 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.920 little tight or whatever, and she's like, ah, I want to buy 454 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.320 this thing, It's like, well, remember that time we said no to 455 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:24.000 two million dollars? Yeah? That So here's the unpopular opinion. Why should 456 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:32.800 they leave? Like the Masters is a known other than the the reschedule they 457 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.679 did during the peak of COVID. If you remember they moved the Masters, 458 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.199 it was at a very weird time. The Masters is always now or within 459 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.559 a week of now. This is not a new thing. Why don't you 460 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.239 hold it or better yet, why don't you time it out? Can't you 461 00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.760 math this thing out? Don't people do I don't, you know, I 462 00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.480 don't know if everyone does this, but I know a family member who they 463 00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:00.360 were very intentional about when they want wanted to have the baby, but that 464 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:05.519 was more for some weird family tradition thing. But they almost hit it on 465 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:13.639 the head, So I don't know. Also, I think they both already 466 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:20.719 have kids, so like, you know, not at first rodeo, it's 467 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.480 going to be wild. Let's see, I think it's going to be pretty 468 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.400 wild, said Shuffler. I don't think it's a hit either of us quite 469 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.639 yet, but it's an exciting time for us as a family. What do 470 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.039 you do if you're leading the masters? What if you're Scheffler and you're going 471 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.679 into the weekend, you're leading the Masters and then I don't know, you 472 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:44.760 tea off on Saturday and you're feeling good, maybe even you know, capture 473 00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.199 a couple of strokes in the first few holes, and then you get the 474 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:52.559 call. Do you just walk out of there? You have the opportunity to 475 00:36:52.679 --> 00:37:00.880 be recognized as the greatest of the thing that you do for a period after 476 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:06.000 this. And also if you do walk away, I know Scheffler's got a 477 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.000 jacket already, But if you're Burns, you walk away, you never get 478 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:13.320 the jacket. Now you're gonna be paying full price for olive Garden for the 479 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.440 rest of your life. Is that fair to you, the wife or the 480 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:21.320 baby. I don't think so. What do you think would happen though, 481 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.599 this is the thought exercise. What do you think would happen even if everyone 482 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:28.119 in the family was fine with it? Right, Scheffler's wife or Burns's wife's 483 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.320 like, Now I got my family around me. I want you to win 484 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.519 this tournament. Bear down, I mean mentally it may not be easy. 485 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:40.800 And the golfer doesn't withdraw. I think people are probably gonna say some not 486 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:49.400 nice things to say the very least. Let's see. Yeah, here we 487 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:53.599 go and they get they get into other incident. Oh, they start talking 488 00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:59.119 about the Phill incident. Well that was interesting because that happened here so back 489 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:00.840 in the day in the final round of the Masters in nineteen ninety nine, 490 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:10.199 it was Phil Mickelson's who was seeing carrying. This was at pine This wasn't 491 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.360 the Masters at Pinehurst? Why did they write this story in correct? What 492 00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.159 was it in ninety nine? Was at the Open? The champion? I 493 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:21.880 can't remember anyway, Michelson ended up getting second place behind Payne Stewart, and 494 00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.079 then his wife went in the next day. But he was carrying a beeper 495 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:25.119 around and everyone's like, why are you carrying a beeper? Are you a 496 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:28.760 drug dealer? What are you doing? This is like my wife might go 497 00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.920 into labor. So yeah, I say, stick it out. What is 498 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:36.599 the what is the purse for the Masters? It's not a little bit of 499 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:44.599 money? What is this? Maybe she didn't map it out. Well, 500 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.199 she already got him locked down. I understand that, you know, you 501 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.840 want to get a baby in the mix. There little insurance policy. But 502 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:55.559 anyway, all right, so that's the thing. Just thought i'd bring up 503 00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.719 to speed on it. All right, coming up on the show at the 504 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.360 time, well, at the time the Masters was supposed to start. Now 505 00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:05.840 it's going to be delayed at least an hour. Steven kentill join us. 506 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.760 We've got a few things to get in with him. Also, oh man, 507 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:13.760 where do I start today? Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee. But 508 00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:19.719 we talked about she jack quite a bit yesterday, obviously with her very very 509 00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:28.800 intelligent recitation of the moon provide unique light and energy so that you have the 510 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.800 energy of the moon at night. And sometimes you've heard the word full moon. 511 00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.000 Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a 512 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:43.039 full moon? Is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases? 513 00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.559 All Right, so this idiot, well she has responded, we'll have 514 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:57.840 the latest from her and her buddy, Maxine Waters. The lunacy and hypocrisy 515 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:04.840 of these people people get up into Washington, and it's not just too democratic 516 00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:09.159 Congress women, but just like the gas lighting and stuff that elected officials up 517 00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:15.440 there will say. The difference is one side tends to get pushedback and fact 518 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.360 checked, whereas the other one is just gonna sit there say whatever they want 519 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.800 and largely not be challenged on it. Well, you see why when you're 520 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:28.719 used to that. Both of these women have an absolute meltdown over people challenging 521 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.320 what they said, or calling them out on it, or even politely suggesting 522 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:36.719 that they disagree with them. We'll give you the she Jack update and delve 523 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.119 into the Maxine Waters hypocrisy. Will do it next. Hang On, I 524 00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:46.880 had some questions about the whole moon was made of mostly gas thing, describing 525 00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:55.199 people criticizing her as quote and specifically Republicans and their quote lust for stupidity for 526 00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:00.880 pointing out no, that's not true. During the event, Jackson Lee, 527 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.840 as you heard, told students I was talking about the sun and the moon. 528 00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:08.519 And you know we played the audio obviously there before the break she's talking 529 00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:13.679 about the moon being although she did come down on the side that the moon 530 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.880 would be easier to build homesteads on than the sun, which is probably true, 531 00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:27.239 so good on her. But yeah, Jackson Lee claimed that she had 532 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.960 been referring to the sun at the time and not the moon. Obviously I 533 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:36.559 misspoke and meant to say the sun. No, no, you didn't. 534 00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.800 And I was willing to say, okay, well this is what she said 535 00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.239 she means and then go back and listen to the audio. This isn't where 536 00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:51.400 it's one conflated word or not. She's drawing distinctions again. Here's the audio. 537 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.960 Bad unique light and energy, so that you have the energy of the 538 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:02.400 moon at night, and sometimes the word full moon sometimes you need to take 539 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.039 the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon. Is that complete 540 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.880 rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases. And that's why the question, 541 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.840 the question is why how could we as humans live on the moon are 542 00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:22.559 the Does that sell that she's confused? She's talking about the moon on one 543 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:27.960 side, moon on the other side, and using a continued description in the 544 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:31.239 middle, which is where she's receiving the criticism. Nobody believes you. Right, 545 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:34.639 No, she didn't like flub a word. Her whole whole premise is 546 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.719 wrong. Then the whole forty two seconds is based on rognet. Right. 547 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.440 If she's saying that she is she saying we could live on the sun, 548 00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:45.840 then it was that her point. No, shelbed the word if she meant 549 00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:47.440 the sun, but her whole premises we can live there. What is she 550 00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:51.679 talking about at night and in the winter. Yes, we covered, didn't 551 00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.960 we. I think we explained this yesterday right with the alig audio. No, 552 00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.760 she screwed up. She's an idiot. She thought. You know, 553 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:05.719 she's dumb. You're not a smart woman, but neither is Maxine Waters. 554 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:12.079 Let's go back to right after Trump was elected, where we first learned that 555 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:16.840 Maxine Waters has probably never put fuel in her vehicle and this famous comment, 556 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.559 Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if 557 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:29.519 you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant in a department store at a 558 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.719 gasold station. You get out and you call it a guy, and you 559 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:40.760 just back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore anywhere. And 560 00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:45.320 obviously this was during that period of time where everyone within the you know, 561 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.920 you had all these incidents where restaurants, including what was the famous one in 562 00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:55.000 Roanoke or Richmond or near there who threw the now governor of Arkansas out right, 563 00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.320 and you had all this lunacy, and people were warning, they're like, 564 00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:05.400 you know, you're ramp this up to the point where rather than recognizing 565 00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:09.000 debating and you know, potentially overcoming if your idea is better your political opponents, 566 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:14.480 you want them purge from society and physically so in some instance. So 567 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.679 she's calling for mobs to get in their face, and she wasn't the only 568 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:22.719 one. The problem is that occasionally people are going to take your advice, 569 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.719 ma'am, and if they have a problem with something you're proposing, they may 570 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.320 come up and tell you. Arguably they did so in a much more respectful 571 00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:37.079 manner than she was advocating. But she absolutely can't deal with it. Here 572 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:43.519 is Waters crying the blues yesterday as a member of Congress with people you know 573 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:49.199 who evidently had a racist attitude, and recently one even confronted me in a 574 00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:53.320 restaurant. And they don't say racist things, but what they say is they 575 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:58.480 don't like something I say it. They don't lack a position that I took. 576 00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:05.519 But you know that you know if you were not black, you would 577 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:09.159 not be approached that they probably would not right. They don't think twice about 578 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:14.960 doing it. They think that they can get away with doing it with you 579 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.199 and that you're all right. And that's on I don't know, some stupid 580 00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:22.440 podcast with a bunch of other many smungers there. I've called in a couple 581 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.599 of times. We don't agree on a lot, but I think we can 582 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:28.840 both agree that whether it be mixing Waters, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, 583 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:30.920 Mitch McConnell, we have got to get these people that are seventy plus years 584 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:36.480 old out of Congress and out of our government. We mean, I mean, 585 00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.599 forget lunatics out even if they're not seventy sir, so can we I'll 586 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.679 make you know yours and then also you know a little bit of mine, 587 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.199 so well, I'll go so further. Even if you're saying, oh that 588 00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.920 they just regardless, someone who is seventy plus years old in a government is 589 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:59.119 not voting for the interests of someone who is twenty years old. And I 590 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:04.239 don't care how you spin it, there's no way that they have what's in 591 00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:08.039 mind for those people in the next fifty years of their life at horrors think 592 00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:14.000 watching them do tech hearings is some of the most embarrassing stuff see. But 593 00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.119 let me let me push back on one thing. I don't know that Congress's 594 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:23.480 obligation needs to primarily lie in what is best for twenty year olds. I 595 00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:28.559 don't think so either. But I don't think a seventy year old has the 596 00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:35.119 conditioning to be prepared for what's in the next fifty to seventy years of our 597 00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.599 country. They're working on, whether it be their retirement, their pensions, 598 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:45.599 those things are what's in the form of their mind, and their experiences in 599 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.480 life are going to change how they see things, where as a twenty thirty 600 00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:54.440 forty year old coming through the world right now had a totally different experience than 601 00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:00.320 them. All I'm saying is you have maximums making the comments she does. 602 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.880 Joe Biden, Donald Trump, they all are saying crazy things. Mitch McConnell 603 00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:08.559 is freezing on camera, and it's just degrading how people see our Congress in 604 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:14.599 general. Well, it is. It is easy. It is easy to 605 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.960 do an SNL thing if you wanted to, with the cast of characters there. 606 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:22.960 But I also don't necessarily I understand that people's experience is going to be 607 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.199 different. I don't know how old are you, Casey, If you don't 608 00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:30.280 mind me, I'm old all right. Even though we are seven years apart. 609 00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:34.719 Your high school experience was different from mine. The shows that you watch 610 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.480 were probably different from mine. There was a lot that was probably different than 611 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.199 you know, for somebody who graduated in the mid two thousands versus the end 612 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.480 of the nineties like I did. But our experience is also one where we're 613 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.360 able to if you told me how things worked at your school and we sat 614 00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:52.679 there over a few beers and just the shot the bull, there's going to 615 00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:57.239 be a lot of crossover with stuff. And I think even when somebody is 616 00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:00.039 seventy years old and they're looking back to establishing themselves when they were in the 617 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:05.480 twenties, the intelligent among them are willing to admit what I'm willing to admit 618 00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.159 these kids that are out there, you know, filming tiktoks about how they'll 619 00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:13.880 never afford a house, they have legitimate beef. Right, Yeah, it's 620 00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:17.159 like they do. And I know a lot of people who are older who 621 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:22.239 also recognize that. So, yeah, it's easy to get shoehorned into well 622 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:24.960 this is the way we did it, So that's the only acceptable way, 623 00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:30.639 and that's the only acceptable answer. But I think good people who genuinely want 624 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.559 to help, even if they're sometimes being very self serving, if they're willing 625 00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.719 to admit that they don't know it all and and listen to those other experiences, 626 00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:44.079 that's I'm that's usually good enough for me. Even if you get away 627 00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:45.760 from the age stuff. Now you're getting into some of the physical stuff, 628 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.760 but that's a whole other thing, you know, freezing up or wandering around 629 00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.360 like a room or staring at the sun thing. Yeah, one thing, 630 00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:59.079 just on the on the on the housing court, for instance. I agree 631 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:02.119 with you that there are people that recognize, and they may be sixty seventy 632 00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:06.239 eighty years old, that recognize that there is a major problem. The problem 633 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:09.559 is that even though they recognize that, they still don't understand the hardship because 634 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:14.800 they they didn't actually go through that unless they're unless they're dealing with it right 635 00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:16.400 now, because they lost their job, they lost their income, they had 636 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:21.159 to start back from zero, which a lot of these people in Congress don't 637 00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.000 do that, right, they didn't. But maybe they didn't go through that, 638 00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:25.519 but maybe they went through a bunch of other stuff, you know, 639 00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:29.119 depending on how old they are. We could talk depression, but you don't 640 00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.760 have to be that old to remember what things were like in the seventies, 641 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:36.719 which you and I were not alive for right exactly, and you're younger than 642 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.320 he, but you know, hearing about interest rates in the seventies, the 643 00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:44.360 gas lines, all of the economic hardships, and really the politics surrounding it. 644 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.280 That is a lived experience that's going to have some of the hallmarks of 645 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:52.360 what people are concerned about now. So if that person is able to go, 646 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:53.800 hey, this is how it was, and here's what we did to 647 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:58.119 make it not that, then you know, maybe that's experience it can be 648 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.880 used to try to fix some of the problem out there. The problem is 649 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:06.519 Maxine Waters can and it sounds like you agree, she can't tell people to 650 00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:09.239 go do something, and then when people do it to her in a respectful 651 00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:14.480 manner, you know, claim a hate crime. That's we're outside of this. 652 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:17.320 If you ever want people to try to understand where you're coming from, 653 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.559 and you shut it down that quickly with statements from her and then the Shila 654 00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:28.280 Jackson Lee statement, then you know, what's what's the point in Neither of 655 00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.760 those women are in their seventies, so they just kind of looked like it. 656 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.239 So that's where I'm at all right, man, thanks for the call. 657 00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:42.039 Appreciating great. Yeah. One of the sharpest minds that I've ever that 658 00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:45.800 I've ever known was somebody who I saw I was at his eightieth birthday party. 659 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:51.000 He was I'm going to give you his name. It's pretty well known 660 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:55.320 dude in and around the Triangle and spent a lot of years as head of 661 00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:00.519 a tech company, the one that you've heard of for US and international head. 662 00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:05.159 And I only met him in retirement. And this dude's in his seventies 663 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.039 at the time. Playing golf with him, getting to know him just around 664 00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:13.840 a group of people, and he became my sounding board for any questions that 665 00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.639 I had, especially questions when it came to you know, workplace stuff because 666 00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.159 he set such a positive example and implemented so many policies that people really liked 667 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:27.840 working for him. And I don't think that management like him exists. And 668 00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:32.880 I'm being complimentary because even though he didn't know what it was like to grow 669 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.920 up in Wyoming, I guess in the nineties, eighties, nineties, whatever, 670 00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.599 there was a lot of invaluable things there. And I think that you 671 00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:45.719 know, imbued and all of that was compassion, understanding, and a willingness 672 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:51.360 to listen to people outside of your preconceived notions. I think that's something we 673 00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:54.239 all can strive for. So do I want to do a hard age thing? 674 00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:59.559 No? Do you want to get into cognitive testing? Maybe? But 675 00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.639 I also so think that, like everything else, people will find a way 676 00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:06.280 to manipulate that. I mean, think about it. If you decide that 677 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.199 there's cognitive testing and you realize you can eighty six some of your political opponents, 678 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:14.119 if you just get the right doctor in there, how would that appear 679 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:15.960 any different than some of the craft that we deal with every day. It 680 00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:20.159 wouldn't. And speaking of craft that we're dealing with every day, I would 681 00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:23.079 like to introduce the man most responsible for ruining my morning raised agent from the 682 00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:30.960 Weather Channel. Oh sorry, dude, I write in fifteen minutes, I 683 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.840 should be turning on a TV in here and then phoning in the last hour 684 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:38.039 of the show. But now it's going to be about what an hour, 685 00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:42.639 yeah, at least at least, and it looks like it's going to be 686 00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:45.599 crappy until like two in the afternoon, So who the hell knows? Well, 687 00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:49.639 not as crappy. It looked like it was going to be worse yesterday 688 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:53.519 morning, honestly, but right now any case, anybody's missed the show, 689 00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:57.000 I mean, who could have missed it? Right? This stuff exactly, 690 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:00.760 the showers and the heavy This train is pulled away. But they had over 691 00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:05.840 an inch and a half near Augusta yesterday, so a chance to dry out. 692 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:09.079 With a couple hour delay this morning. They're probably still gonna get some 693 00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:14.280 showers, maybe even a thunder shower today, but I don't think any widespread 694 00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:16.719 rainfall. All that's off to the east and southeast. As you go on 695 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:22.559 a line from about let's say Columbia, South Carolina, draw that through Fayetteville 696 00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:27.480 and North Carolina, and south of that, that's where the heavier rain is 697 00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.400 This morning. Start to see some showers get into Chatham in southern parts of 698 00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:34.199 Wake County, so that a little area rain may clip you. But I 699 00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:38.119 think increasing as we get into the afternoon the scattered showers, even thunderstorms upper 700 00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:42.960 sixties to low seventies. It's gonna become quite breezy too today and more showers 701 00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:46.480 than thunder showers tonight, tapering off sometime tomorrow. Midday early afternoon might get 702 00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:51.679 some afternoon sun for some of us, especially from the Triad west Augusty wins. 703 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.119 Tomorrow highs will be in the low seventies, so we're gonna shut off 704 00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:58.679 the rain around midday early afternoon from west to east as we go through tomorrow, 705 00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:00.960 and the weekend is going to be great with a warming trend. Early 706 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:05.960 next week is going to beautiful Sunnay near seventy on Saturday with a gusty breeze, 707 00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:07.360 and then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday going to make a run into the 708 00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:12.559 eighties. Maybe it's warm, especially for the Triangle into the middle eighties with 709 00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.280 sunshine by Monday and Tuesday two. So I think the playoffs is going to 710 00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:19.719 be great, and even in Augusta after today or even this morning, early 711 00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:22.519 afternoon. The weather, it's going to be great there too. Well fine, 712 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:24.480 but also this is you know, whenever you have rain incident, there 713 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:30.079 is a huge differential, especially if there's wind associated. Like it's all about 714 00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.920 when your tea time is right, you guys go out and it's sloppy and 715 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:36.800 still windy, and they'll shoot it even or whatever, and some guy will 716 00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:42.239 do three under this afternoon and so deal man. Then they say, right, 717 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.159 weather is the great equalizer. So I'm wondering what the odds of Tiger 718 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:50.360 making the cut are. You have to check that out. It could be 719 00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:54.719 my chance. Yeah, gamble incessantly. You got an hour and get your 720 00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:58.360 bed in. All right, thanks sir, appreciated. All right, there 721 00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:01.320 you go, race stage crapping my fun Coming up, we'll chat with Steven 722 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.360 Kent are our NERD correspondent. Lots of we got video game movies, TV 723 00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:10.559 stuff to get into. We got all sorts of stuff. So that'll be 724 00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:15.639 coming up at eight o five. But before we get there, we're gonna 725 00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:20.599 have to our caller mentioned Trump. Uh, We're gonna have to get into 726 00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:22.920 a little Chick fil A visit. I thought that was funny yesterday and Joe 727 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:30.800 Biden, Joe Biden, Well he got he had a microphone again yesterday? 728 00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:36.480 Where was the Arizona And yeah, well we'll get that for you, but 729 00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:38.360 right now we'll take a break. Seven forty eight. Hang on, hey, 730 00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:44.280 Casey, I ot to have a rebuttal of what that last caller said. 731 00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:47.840 He bumped in Trump with McConnell, Biden, and Waters, who have 732 00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:53.679 been in Congress for years, and Trump, a businessman, came into the 733 00:55:53.800 --> 00:55:58.760 office had more experience than all of them put together. Now, me being 734 00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:04.119 a former businessman business owner, if I knew then what I knew now, 735 00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.920 I would have did a lot of things differently. So you can't rump Trump 736 00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:15.920 in with McConnell and always be Yeah. I think that's why a lot of 737 00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:21.880 people lean more cognitive tests if they feel this, rather than just age. 738 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:29.119 But yeah, I mean that's the best McConnell, uh, Waterers and Biden 739 00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:32.159 never ran anything, don't plan a business. So the best people for a 740 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:37.719 presidency to be a governor or a business then because they actually had their you 741 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:46.880 know, wife on the line basically to succeed. Okay, well, yeah, 742 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:52.480 again it comes down to our I don't know if you have to have 743 00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:54.360 something official. I think a lot of them. Thanks for the call there, 744 00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:58.760 sir. I think a lot of these discussions need to permeate within the 745 00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:01.960 individual right. So formulate a set of standards. And if your set of 746 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:06.159 standards is you won't vote for somebody over the age of seventy, then so 747 00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:07.239 be it. Let them call you in agies, just say, look, 748 00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:12.039 you're trying. You don't feel that once you're in that age group that you 749 00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:16.559 have enough understanding of the younger generations below you, then fine, people can 750 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:20.079 go ahead and make that decision. I'm not going to begrudge you, but 751 00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:23.360 yeah, I don't know that I'm comfortable just with an age thing. I 752 00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:30.280 think you got to go individual. Now. Yesterday Joe Biden was in Arizona 753 00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:35.159 and they described this as a quote brutal gaff. I'll let you add it, 754 00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:39.039 then weigh it against things. But here he is talking about who the 755 00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:45.639 hell knows elect me? I'm in the twenty twentieth century, twenty first century, 756 00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:49.880 okay, all right, So he strewed up the twentieth twenty first century. 757 00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:52.920 And I know some people get confused because, like if you say the 758 00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:57.280 twentieth century, but you say the nineteenth nineteen hundreds. You're talking about the 759 00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.079 you know the same thing, and you know, I can a little weird, 760 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:02.599 but he, you know, he corrects himself there and moves on. 761 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:07.840 Here's the thing if all of the Biden gaffs are like that, because I 762 00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:13.159 saw people trying to the problem is when you over demonize that, that will 763 00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:17.840 now be the example that people use when you're unfairly criticizing. Somebody was saying, 764 00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:20.920 oh, look at that, he immediately corrected himself, and then they 765 00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:23.280 could find tape. You could probably find tape of me saying something and then 766 00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:29.840 immediately corrected myself ten times this morning, because that's how people talk. It 767 00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:34.000 doesn't wash away the other stuff. But when you act like this is akin 768 00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:37.639 to him, you know, sniffing little girls while talking about his time as 769 00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:44.719 a flankerback and then once again reminding us of a train trek that he used 770 00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:46.719 to take with a conductor who was dead well before he was on it. 771 00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:54.480 I don't know that it's useful. It's not even the most infuriating audio or 772 00:58:54.599 --> 00:59:01.039 a little video clip I saw yesterday. When it comes to people talking about 773 00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:05.320 generational stuff, you want something that'll make you lose your mind. I gotta 774 00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:07.960 find I to find this thing again because I was flipping I was flipping through 775 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:14.159 on the YouTube shorts, which I hate, and I hate how much of 776 00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:20.760 my YouTube like selection things that they cover up and take space away from me. 777 00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:22.880 You can't turn them off, and the whole thing is dumb and it 778 00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:25.519 doesn't sound like the people who produce it, or you don't want it. 779 00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.599 But you know, YouTube's got to have their TikTok, which is which is 780 00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:34.840 crazy enough. And I watched some high school she's like, looks like late 781 00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:39.719 high school. This girl's who's filming a TikTok and she's talking about music. 782 00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:45.400 Okay, all right, whatever, Except in the video she holds up a 783 00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:52.920 cassette tape and says it says something along the lines of and for our ancestors, 784 00:59:53.199 --> 01:00:02.440 this was how they consumed music in the nineteen hundreds or late nineteen hundreds, 785 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:05.760 and she, you know, just held up so this would be a 786 01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:10.760 representative example of how our forefathers or how our ancestors concerned. And she's like 787 01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:15.039 sixteen or seventeen, so I'm not gonna I think she said, but she 788 01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:21.480 obviously is, you know, was not born anywhere near the y two k 789 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:23.639 But man, that's a gut punch right there. There's been a bunch of 790 01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:25.559 times where I have to explain to Lincoln that, like, you know, 791 01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:28.840 when I was a kid, we didn't have the Internet, and I feel 792 01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:32.840 so old when I do that. Right right, she's holding up that cassette, 793 01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:37.199 that bell BIV DeVos cassette tape you have, and she's like like she 794 01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:42.519 just opened or sarcophagus in Egypt or something. Then let's get into the all 795 01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:49.079 things with the intersection of entertainment, politics, and insanity. Steven Kent joins 796 01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:52.000 us this morning. Steven, how you doing today, sir? I'm doing 797 01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:55.920 great, Casey, did hear from you? I'm gonna kind of I'm going 798 01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:00.559 to a couple of three different stories together. Oh that sounds down there? 799 01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:04.440 All right, all right, sorry your phone was breaking up there. I'm 800 01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:10.239 gonna kind of I want a couple, like three different stories together. I 801 01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:14.320 I need everyone to shut up. How we're doing things around here, all 802 01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:19.239 of you other countries and European Union people. We can start in the EU 803 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:22.199 and make our way to Brazil with some of the Elon mustuff coming. But 804 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:29.559 I don't need dirt bag EU tech people coming over here to the US to 805 01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:36.679 tell us that we need to fundamentally change things, punish Apple and and basically 806 01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:42.360 clamp down on our own citizenry. I find it repulsive and any any politician 807 01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:45.840 who would let these nitwits come in. What is this dirt bag's name? 808 01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:51.159 It was in DC yesterday. Yeah, Well, I want to make sure 809 01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:52.679 I get hurt. Yeah, I want to make sure I pronounce her her 810 01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:59.760 name correctly. So it is MARKA. Investiger, the Executive President of the 811 01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:07.800 UN European Commission on the on Digital Technology associates like the competition cop over there, 812 01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.559 which makes sure in many ways the STC chair, like Lena Khan in 813 01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:15.559 the United States. Okay, and so there's three things I want to cover, 814 01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:19.320 but let's start with this one. And we've talked about it. They 815 01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:22.239 are if they're big mad at Apple, right, that's fair. They're big 816 01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:27.239 mad at Apple. They feel that Apple, apple bad, all bad. 817 01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:29.800 And for those of you, I guess if you don't use Apple, you're 818 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:35.239 not familiar with Apple. Apple famously was closed. They have a closed system, 819 01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:37.639 and it was a point of contention. If you read any of the 820 01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:42.559 Steve Jobs biographies or some of the books that came out. If you watch 821 01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:47.519 the movie, you'll see that a constant point of contention between Jobs's vision for 822 01:02:47.639 --> 01:02:52.239 Apple and what you know, everyone including the former PEPSI CEO, were doing. 823 01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:58.679 They battled over this about essentially only Apple's only going to work with other 824 01:02:58.719 --> 01:03:02.159 Apple stuff. Because as soon as you put a USB plug into you know, 825 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.280 into an iPhone or a pad or you create a system which just readily 826 01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:13.199 connects and works with others, you are also now inviting the vulnerabilities of whatever 827 01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:17.400 that secondary system is. So the policy at Apple to do this has it's 828 01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:22.880 not an unknown. Now does Apple do things where they change out charging cables 829 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:28.559 every year? Seemingly unnecessary and it looks like a big cash grab absolutely, 830 01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:31.239 as they all do. I have I don't know about you. I have 831 01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:36.199 three different charging of the you know, the Mini USB, the S Square 832 01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:39.039 one, and then the Apple two different versions of the Apple ones. And 833 01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:43.639 that's the reality. And I just kind of have those cables because I'm a 834 01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:47.159 computer nerd guy of friends who come over maybe need a phone charger. Why 835 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:52.039 why is Apple a special project and why should we listen to this woman? 836 01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:59.280 Well, Vestigger was in the United States really to tout the European approach to 837 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:04.079 regulating big tech. They have this these two laws, the Digital Services Act 838 01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:10.000 and the Digital Markets Act, which are essentially going to try and swoop in 839 01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:15.800 and break up these big tech companies like Amazon, Meta and Apple from offering 840 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:20.320 the kinds of services that they very much do now. So her main issue 841 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:27.119 with Apple is that she claims you are locked into Apple, and that consumer 842 01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:31.679 choice is harmed by Apple being a closed system, and that if you get 843 01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:34.519 an iPhone, that you are then sort of like, you know, like 844 01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:38.559 you've taken your first shot of a heroin and you're going to be on this 845 01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:43.519 wild rye that you can't get off of even if you wanted to. It's 846 01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:47.119 a very strange argument because it's essentially saying that you are locked in from day 847 01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:50.360 one because you're not going to be able to go back out into the PC 848 01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:56.559 Android system, completely ignoring the fact that if you just don't really like the 849 01:04:56.639 --> 01:05:01.239 Apple experience and the Apple worm which I very much enjoy, that you just 850 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:05.719 can't leave. And it's it's a very strange, paternalistic argument. Yeah. 851 01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:12.000 I don't disagree in fact, but the upside is and nobody's perfect, and 852 01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:17.320 I would argue that Apple posts jobs. The same level of my confidence that 853 01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:23.400 something was just gonna going to work has dipped. They've had a few misses. 854 01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:28.079 That being said, the fact that I can walk around my house and 855 01:05:28.199 --> 01:05:33.679 my iPhone, my iPad, and my two Apple TVs. Literally anything I 856 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:39.159 want anywhere is a button away instead of going to Why remember back in the 857 01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:41.559 day, we'd have to wire stuff and I was a big nerd. I 858 01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.880 had all the equipment. Remember remember back in the days when like you had 859 01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:48.599 PCs riddled with viruses that were completely crippled by malware. But then when you 860 01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:54.239 switch to Apple, you just don't really have that problem unless you're trying to 861 01:05:54.360 --> 01:06:00.360 kill your computer. The closed ecosystem approach for consumers like me who are a 862 01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:02.920 little bit of lead if I actually don't love tech, I like tech to 863 01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:08.239 be simple, clean and safe so that I can actually navigate it. I 864 01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:10.480 mean, when I get on a PC, I don't know what the heck 865 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:15.199 I'm doing, Casey, and so this computer, this system is for people 866 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.519 like me who like a clean and easy experience. But they want to break 867 01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:23.440 that up, and I think the reasons go beyond consumer choice. I actually 868 01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:27.480 think the reasons have a lot to do with the national security state, both 869 01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:30.840 in the US and in the EU, where they want to have access and 870 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:35.440 back doors to all consumers and all their citizens. And if you remember, 871 01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:40.320 and I remember the exact case, but there was an individual who was arrested. 872 01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:44.159 It was a terrorism case and Apple famously told me they wouldn't open the 873 01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:46.960 phone. And that turned into a that turned into a whole thing. And 874 01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:54.360 Van Bernardino, he had a San Bernardino shooters and the over in the EU, 875 01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:57.719 they can't fathom something like that. They should be able to get in 876 01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:00.639 and meddle whenever they want. These are the same people who like, maybe 877 01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:09.039 we need to regulate influencers, right, So yeah, I mean the European 878 01:07:09.199 --> 01:07:13.880 Union. Yeah, they've got some pretty bizarre policies across the EU. So 879 01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:18.480 in December, the Italian Competition Authority, because they've got some of their own 880 01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:24.480 rules, they tightened down their rules on influencers and stay in Belgium. Within 881 01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:30.239 the EU are also looking at regulatory approaches to being an online influencer, where 882 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.039 you're quite literally going to have to go through sort of like a licensure program 883 01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:36.159 like you would if you're a plumber or a hairdresser. In the United States, 884 01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:40.079 which, by the way, I also think those are kind of ridiculous. 885 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:46.480 But the idea is that influencers have social capital and they control the minds 886 01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:50.559 and opinions of a wide variety of people, and therefore the government needs to 887 01:07:50.599 --> 01:07:56.119 come in and protect people from these dangerous influencers. And they always frame it 888 01:07:56.199 --> 01:08:00.719 in terms of false advertising, snake oil salesmen stuff. But again, what 889 01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:05.199 I think that they're actually after is wrong. Thinks they're after people who are 890 01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:13.320 perpetuating and spreading wrong opinions that the European Union and their members statement. I 891 01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:15.840 mean, these are the folks that you know they send a dude to jail 892 01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:19.840 because his pug did a Hitler trick, right, So you know their standards, 893 01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:24.359 their standards, their standards there are are different, which is fine, 894 01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:28.279 they can have those different standards. I wonder what would happen if the cul 895 01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:31.319 not that it would happen because you're dealing with too many moon bets in Silicon 896 01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:36.159 heyhood. I think if the major US tech companies just told these other countries, 897 01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:40.760 look, there are things that are reasonable, but we're not changing everything 898 01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:43.079 we're doing and if you don't like it, we're not going to do business. 899 01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:47.920 I have to feel, based on the the way in which other countries 900 01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:55.920 crave Western products, tech and uh entertainment for that matter, I have to 901 01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.000 think that that might be effective in getting these people to shut their face. 902 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:03.439 Do you think so or not? No, I do think so. I 903 01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:08.079 mean basically the European Union again, these are these are kind of our allies, 904 01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:11.199 right. We are aligned with Europe these days, and we're very much 905 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:15.520 aligned as sort of a Western block against some rising threats in the East. 906 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:18.079 And these are our friends. However, they are free riders, very much 907 01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:24.399 in the technology and the innovation that the United States exports throughout the world. 908 01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:30.079 And they don't agree with our culture, our commitment to free speech expression, 909 01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:35.319 and our business climate. They like tightly controlled populations and business environments, and 910 01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:41.279 they want the technology, but they want it packaged for Europeans and sort of 911 01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:46.279 the control freaks that run the European Union, the tech overlords, you know, 912 01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:50.479 the tech giants, they kind of have to figure out how much do 913 01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:56.239 they really want Europe's money? Do they really want to be strong and driving 914 01:09:56.279 --> 01:10:00.119 in Europe or do they want to have products that they believe in and are 915 01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:03.359 excited about. The Steve Jobs of the world were pretty pragmatic and tried to 916 01:10:03.399 --> 01:10:08.720 have it both ways. But I really believe that, like again, Steve 917 01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:12.640 Jobs, would have wanted to protect the integrity of his device because he was 918 01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:16.279 something of an artist. The iPhone and Apple these are pieces of art as 919 01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:21.960 far as these people are concerned, and the European Union doesn't much appreciate our 920 01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:26.159 version of art. Yeah, and I think in an effort to protect it, 921 01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:29.880 but also to be able to provide to these markets because I understand the 922 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:32.760 financial impact of deciding you're not going to do business in the EU. It's 923 01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:38.840 the second largest, second or third largest. I'm not sure if China's second, 924 01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:43.000 But it's a decision that companies make with China too when they ask them 925 01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:45.520 to do things, Like you know, it's funny because the EU is asking 926 01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:49.439 them to do things and kind of demanding all of the requirements that China has 927 01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:53.520 if you want to do business, and I think in the long run, 928 01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.520 if you say no enough of that, I think that consumers may look to 929 01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:00.600 their government as you're screwing us over here. Want access to these products and 930 01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:05.199 these services, and maybe it changes, so it's like a long term play. 931 01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:12.800 Meanwhile, that in Brazil. You have Elon Muskley tweeted this out last 932 01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:16.920 night. I guess around. Oh, let's see here, that dude never 933 01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:23.079 sleeps anyway, says X just received an inquiry from the US House of Representatives 934 01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:28.199 regarding actions taken in Brazil that are in violation of Brazil law. So this 935 01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:31.079 whiny dictator down there in Brazil, and when you look at a number of 936 01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:35.039 political prisoners, I think that's a fair assessment of who this is. They're 937 01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:40.199 so mad, they're so mad at Elon Musk right now, they implemented a 938 01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:44.680 twenty thousand dollars per day fine and basically it's because he won't bend the knee 939 01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:48.279 and block all their political opponents for him. And now members of Congress are 940 01:11:48.279 --> 01:11:53.760 going to get up in this business because, as you know, this administration 941 01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:58.319 has taken, in my opinion, some very significant steps to get Elon Musk 942 01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:02.600 across all the the businesses. This is pure politics, and now we may 943 01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:09.119 have our own elected officials going to bat on behalf of Brazil. This is 944 01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:13.359 a nightmare, man, Yeah, it is a nightmare. But what's really 945 01:12:13.399 --> 01:12:16.800 a nightmare for the powerful and the governments around the world, And this is 946 01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:21.439 what kind of connects all of these stories together, which is that technology and 947 01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:29.319 innovation supersedes a lot of the ways in which governments have always run the world. 948 01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:35.000 The idea that the European Union can't enforce their version of speech laws because 949 01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:40.760 American technology is setting people free online to speak their minds in ways they don't 950 01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:45.880 approve of, that can't be allowed to stand down in Brazil. You know, 951 01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:50.479 Lula doesn't like that an American tech company, an American entrepreneur is going 952 01:12:50.520 --> 01:12:54.600 to be able to allow people to speak in ways that he doesn't like. 953 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:59.199 So we kind of have this tension between how can countries figure out how to 954 01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:03.439 have the societies that they want to have at the very top level versus what 955 01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.760 is now possible thanks to technology. And I think that's like a valid question 956 01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:12.039 because if you do, you know, you live in Brazil, maybe you 957 01:13:12.159 --> 01:13:16.479 don't want American tech and you don't want the twitters of the world in there 958 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:19.960 kind of changing their culture. But it tends to be that the people do 959 01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:25.600 the people do, They want to speak, they want to be heard. 960 01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:30.319 It's the politicians and the political entrenched class who don't want that disruption because their 961 01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:34.960 control freaks and fund belief. What is What do you think the most utilized 962 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:41.359 app outside of the US is from a US based tech pook? I think 963 01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:44.520 I guess it's not an app I was gonna say, like Fortnite. You 964 01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:46.680 know, I tend to think that it's it's games, and I tend to 965 01:13:46.720 --> 01:13:49.920 think that it's Nope, it's not what. I'll tell you exactly what it 966 01:13:49.960 --> 01:13:55.600 is. And it's an app that I think most Americans have never used and 967 01:13:55.960 --> 01:13:59.520 probably would never But as soon as you get into traveling internationally, which I 968 01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:04.720 enjoyed doing obviously, WhatsApp. I think if Facebook, if Facebook shut off 969 01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:12.960 WhatsApp worldwide, it would be pandemonium. It is the almost exclusively the preferred 970 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:20.239 methodology of communication in almost every country outside of the US because it just works. 971 01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:25.399 Why yeah, and that's a Facebook thing, right, They own that 972 01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:28.920 in Instagram. And if Zuckerberg had the stones to say, look, you 973 01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:30.760 want to keep meddling in our business, we'll turn off the WhatsApp, I 974 01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:35.680 think people would revolt. The problem is it would be in a way handing 975 01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:41.840 things to thug dictators in horrible parts of the world because it is the main 976 01:14:41.920 --> 01:14:45.279 methodology for communication, So in a way, it's kind of doing what they 977 01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:49.560 want, but it shows you just how how much leverage that that, you 978 01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:54.760 know, we feasibly have here. And the last time the EU got something 979 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:59.439 accomplished, they ruined the browser experience because now every side I go to, 980 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:01.960 I got to we're going to have a splash window about cookies and if you 981 01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:08.279 wondered why that is, that's an EU requirement and now it just buries everybody 982 01:15:08.279 --> 01:15:12.760 else and we all have to deal with it. So yeah, it kind 983 01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:15.119 of reminds me of when Lena Conn of the FTC was on John Stewart's The 984 01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:20.600 Daily Show last week and she was basically but moaning that Facebook was ever allowed 985 01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:27.279 to acquire Instagram and basically merged the two things as well as acquire WhatsApp. 986 01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:30.520 But you know, like this is sort of an American regulator rooting against the 987 01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:36.560 success of American technology companies. Facebook was on the road to irrelevance until they 988 01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:44.359 acquired Instagram and their expertise in mobile social media on a vertical screen. That 989 01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:48.000 was not what Facebook was good at. And so they acquired that expertise and 990 01:15:48.039 --> 01:15:51.119 then they did the same thing with WhatsApp, and now they have a suite 991 01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:57.520 of really great tools that makes the meta you know, uh, corporation work 992 01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:00.960 that makes it actually relevant and powerful. And they don't like that. They 993 01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:05.840 don't like success in American technology. They want to see these companies fail. 994 01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:11.479 I understand that there are instances in which you can acquire companies and then you 995 01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:17.319 become anti competitive. But Facebook did not acquire necessarily their direct competitors. They 996 01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:23.960 acquired companies that built out their tools that they could do mobile, and then 997 01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:27.960 they could do messaging and do it better for consumers. And boy, howdy, 998 01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:31.520 consumers enjoy it quite a bit. Unless it's called threads. Then they 999 01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:39.600 don't. But you know, yeah, well that's the big wolves there, 1000 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:43.840 that's crystal PEPSI. Man, we got we got a story that caused some 1001 01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:49.039 moon bats to go uh right, okay, all right, very this is 1002 01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:56.520 very sad. Let me get some sad. Perfect again. Explain to me 1003 01:16:56.560 --> 01:17:04.239 how these folks are adults and are able to function in societ members of a 1004 01:17:04.439 --> 01:17:15.600 regional women's country line dance team. This is so important that you remember the 1005 01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.079 kind of I'm sorry, hold on, Violet, you have to remember the 1006 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:23.640 kind of music we're talking about. All right, so dance crew, but 1007 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:30.760 in this case, it's competitive line dancers, which if that's your thing, 1008 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:34.119 more power to you. I understand that it's it's like repopularized or something with 1009 01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:41.159 the kids. Can I sound older? Okay? I saw that there's people 1010 01:17:41.199 --> 01:17:44.720 are making line dance videos now on social media, so whatever that's about. 1011 01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:45.720 But if that's what you want to do, go do it. I will 1012 01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:53.960 tell you I never understood it. And as you can imagine, growing up 1013 01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:58.000 in Wyholming, you know, anytime you went to something where there was going 1014 01:17:58.079 --> 01:18:01.560 to be dancing. In fact, they had a huge line dance competition as 1015 01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:05.560 part of the county Fair every year. But I was never into it. 1016 01:18:05.680 --> 01:18:10.560 I'm not really into dance anyway. I can't dance, But like, if 1017 01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.279 that's what people want to do, more power to them. But in every 1018 01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:19.960 instance of every line dance I went to, I'd say that the room probably 1019 01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:24.800 had more potential Trump voters than Biden voters. But that may have been the 1020 01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:29.439 region I was in, all right, and it clearly wasn't in Seattle. 1021 01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:35.079 But over the weekend a big country line dance event called the Emerald City Hodown 1022 01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:44.119 took place, and teams from all over the region flocked to Seattle to take 1023 01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:50.800 part and show off their dance and skills. Unfortunately, one of those teams 1024 01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:59.920 ran afoul of organizers known as the Borderline Dance Team. They were getting right 1025 01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:05.079 to take the stage to demo their dance when an organizer for the Rain County 1026 01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:10.880 Dance Association, which was the ones who were putting this thing on. And 1027 01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:15.439 by the way, that is an association that is also has a wing of 1028 01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:21.399 LGBTQ plus dance competitions, so they do line dance, they do even line 1029 01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:28.439 dance for LGBTQ, but also different styles of dance. They met the team 1030 01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:30.880 backstage and said that they were not going to be able to go on. 1031 01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:39.680 Several witnesses who saw the team walk into the area before they headed backstage to 1032 01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:45.359 get ready, immediately ran to organizers complaining about the outfits the team was wearing. 1033 01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:51.560 Is it because it was too stereotypical Western? No? No, wasn't 1034 01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:59.159 that. Was it because somebody had I don't know, offensive words against one 1035 01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:01.640 of the other dance team and that's not sportsmanship? No, wasn't that. 1036 01:20:02.239 --> 01:20:06.680 Unfortunately, the team was told that they could not participate because the outfits, 1037 01:20:06.720 --> 01:20:13.119 which are coordinated outfits right between all the team members included red, white, 1038 01:20:13.159 --> 01:20:17.520 and blue reminiscent of the American flag. I wouldn't say it's reminiscence. Clearly 1039 01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:23.199 looks like the flag, and it's across their shirts, so you know, 1040 01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:25.199 the women are wearing one, the men are wearing the button down, but 1041 01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:27.880 they all look like, you know, they look like American flag shirts. 1042 01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:31.920 Mostly. That apparently triggered so many of the other dancers that the team was 1043 01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:36.800 told that they could not participate because, quote, the audience feels triggered and 1044 01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:45.479 unsafe based on your outfit choice. Uh CO captain Lindsey Stamp, who spoke 1045 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:49.880 with Jason Rantz, who's a he's a radio host in Seattle there on our 1046 01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:57.000 station, explaining that the costume sparked a complaint or spark complaints who brought up 1047 01:20:57.159 --> 01:21:05.479 Israel's war against Hamas and transgender issues, those old catch alls. At first, 1048 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:10.000 organizers told them, hey, we'll let you go on stage, but 1049 01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:14.439 just know you're going to be booed and yelled at and perhaps people will walk 1050 01:21:14.479 --> 01:21:16.319 out. But eventually organizers just said, now we're not going to let you 1051 01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:23.600 go up there unless you would agree to change into street clothes, which several 1052 01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:28.800 of the dance team members didn't have because you know, this was drivable from 1053 01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:31.840 where they lived, and they showed up in their country western outfit and planning 1054 01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:40.319 on going home in it. But no, eventually, eventually, And I'm 1055 01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:43.399 looking at the picture here, so on the left you have the women's outfits 1056 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:45.560 and they're you know, they got the red, white and blue with the 1057 01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:49.039 on the one side and then the stars and the stars and and the blue 1058 01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:51.119 on the other I guess the red and white stripes on one the blue on 1059 01:21:51.159 --> 01:21:56.479 the other. And you told this bunch of women, it's primarily women here, 1060 01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:00.479 that they couldn't go out with that shirt on. That is crazy. 1061 01:22:00.560 --> 01:22:06.159 So there you go country line dancing, triggering the line dancing enthusiast LGBTQ community. 1062 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:10.479 By the way, I think some of the members of the dance care 1063 01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:14.239 are gay too, is what I saw in one of her other statements. 1064 01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:18.439 So there you go, triggered and eventually shut down. That's where we are. 1065 01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:25.199 Now let's go on to this. Yesterday we announced and then we speculated 1066 01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:30.279 that it might be the Kumate that the presence of the Prime Minister of Japan 1067 01:22:30.399 --> 01:22:34.560 in North Carolina. A little later today he's up in DC right now, 1068 01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:40.960 had an event there we'll be making his way to North Carolina. They're expected 1069 01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:46.119 to make a big announcement about a business and expansion of business in part with 1070 01:22:46.159 --> 01:22:50.159 the Japanese government here in North Carolina. We didn't know what it was. 1071 01:22:50.279 --> 01:22:56.720 Now I guess we do know, and then I think after that event, 1072 01:22:57.079 --> 01:23:00.319 the Prime Minister will dine at the Governor's mansion and I believe Ashley Christiansen is 1073 01:23:00.640 --> 01:23:05.239 cooking form, which if you're familiar with any of the restaurants seen in Wake 1074 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:11.359 County, that's a good get. I always enjoyed her food, so yeah, 1075 01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:16.079 But unfortunately not the Kumata, which was one suggest ross you what was 1076 01:23:16.279 --> 01:23:18.800 what was your thinking it was? It wasn't Kumata. I can't remember what 1077 01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:23.239 it was, but or maybe you're on team Kumata too. Well, the 1078 01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:29.000 fact is it's none of those. Reporting now says that the announcement is expected 1079 01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:33.479 to be an expansion of Fujifilms. Dio Synth Biotech Labs is a vaccine lab. 1080 01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:39.560 They do a bunch of other stuff too, but but this is core 1081 01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:45.000 focused on vaccine production and it should when they announce it, if the reporting 1082 01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:49.319 is correct, should prove to produce six hundred jobs. It's part of a 1083 01:23:49.359 --> 01:23:56.439 billion dollar expansion and the facility, which is not a new facility in people's 1084 01:23:56.520 --> 01:24:01.319 minds, but is one that you know, Fujifilm had already announced expansion, 1085 01:24:01.399 --> 01:24:08.479 but this is more. We'll be in Holly Springs. They're building a giant 1086 01:24:08.520 --> 01:24:13.399 manufacturing facility there, so this will be part of that. That's what's expected. 1087 01:24:13.479 --> 01:24:16.319 So in case you were wondering, there you go, and those of 1088 01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:19.760 you in the Holly Springs area. I guess good news, so you can, 1089 01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:23.840 I don't know, get some vaccine jobs or something. All right, 1090 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:28.960 eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four we'll chat with Jeff Bellamser 1091 01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:31.920 coming up here in just a few minutes, also before the end of the 1092 01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:40.600 show. Good news for spam Man, Good news for spam and Vienna sausages. 1093 01:24:40.640 --> 01:24:45.399 This is one of the weirder, weirder reports on what people are buying, 1094 01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:49.479 apparently raised age like Vienna sausages, the little cocktail sausages, and spam. 1095 01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:53.760 Yeah, big business right now, mostly because people can't afford the other 1096 01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:58.359 proteins. But yeah, I saw people hating on Vienna sausages. What is 1097 01:24:58.399 --> 01:25:01.439 wrong with people? Those are awesome? I know they are that's the best 1098 01:25:01.560 --> 01:25:05.560 wrong with spam. I used to dude, I would always bring when I 1099 01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:09.239 go, when we go camping or something, I would always go and I 1100 01:25:09.279 --> 01:25:14.439 would buy my own little collective of Vienna sausages, the little cans of Beanie 1101 01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:18.760 Weenie and sardines. Oh and you could be in mustard sauce, tomato sauce, 1102 01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:21.800 or just olive oil. And then I eat those in front of people. 1103 01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:27.399 Oh so good, so making so many people so jealous right now, 1104 01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:29.960 right well, I'm just saying for all of you. People are like, 1105 01:25:30.119 --> 01:25:31.920 I can't afford other proteins. So now I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna 1106 01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:36.479 buy the sloppy Joe and the and the the Hormel stuff and the Vienna side. 1107 01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:40.520 No stay away from my stuff because I'll I'll tell you what if I 1108 01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:43.479 show up the grocery store and there's no Vienna sausages. I mean, I'm 1109 01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:47.399 not saying arson, but you never know because people can't stand in their damn 1110 01:25:47.479 --> 01:25:51.079 lanes. I know. Yeah, come on, stay here. LARTI chef 1111 01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:57.840 BOYARTI up significantly. I'm a big fan of cold beef ferroni out of a 1112 01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:03.840 cans, huge spaghettios with meat polls, Libby's corned beef all you can have. 1113 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:08.960 That's not very good. But everything else, yeah, everything else is 1114 01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:13.199 great. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, not the document stuff. 1115 01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:15.960 But anyway, all right, you're all on notice. So with that mind, 1116 01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:19.239 have you screwed me over on the Gulf? Further? I haven't even 1117 01:26:19.279 --> 01:26:27.119 checked, so I know as of now, ten thirty off the number one 1118 01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:31.960 t that's the latest, and ten showers yep, ten third. Hell am 1119 01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:35.399 I gonna do for an hour and a half after the show? I don't 1120 01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:41.800 know. I've got like three pieces of production, but that's not gonna Yeah. 1121 01:26:42.199 --> 01:26:45.119 Well, there's still some showers around Augusta right now, even a little 1122 01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:48.159 thunder, but the heaviest rain there was over an inch and a half last 1123 01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:51.840 night has moved away and just spotty showers. Think for the rest of today. 1124 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:55.479 It's gonna beautiful for the rest of the week after today, so things 1125 01:26:55.520 --> 01:26:59.680 will good. There will be beautiful here too after today and tonight. The 1126 01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:03.399 rain should get out of here tomorrow Today. Occasional showers this morning, may 1127 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.520 pick up a little this afternoon, may get some thunder in here also, 1128 01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:12.000 but no severe weather expected on either side of seventy with some gusty winds, 1129 01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:15.479 especially later that could guss thirty five to forty miles an hour. A few 1130 01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:18.000 showers, thunder showers tonight, and a chance of showers of utter storms continuing 1131 01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:23.119 isolated Tomorrow's the upper level low spins to the west of us, and they'll 1132 01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:26.439 kind of be passing through the be quick movers, and by early afternoon we're 1133 01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:30.479 probably done with a triangle. Probably hang on a little bit longer two three 1134 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:32.479 o'clock probably over with, and then to the west of the triad end a 1135 01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:35.399 little bit earlier, might get some sun later tomorrow for the commute home, 1136 01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:39.439 breezy seventy. Then we kind of reset, and it's kind of easy for 1137 01:27:39.479 --> 01:27:43.359 Saturday and Sunday. Low seventy Saturday, low eighties on Sunday, lots of 1138 01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:46.079 sunshine and maybe push in the middle eighties Monday Tuesday, and again we're gonna 1139 01:27:46.079 --> 01:27:49.800 have high pressure come in and we are going to be mostly sunny those two 1140 01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:54.960 days also, so past tomorrow, we'll get some late sun Tomorrow, Saturday, 1141 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.640 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday absolutely beautiful with a warming trend. Oh okay, 1142 01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:01.800 all right, thank you sir, appreciate it. Yep, there you 1143 01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:04.479 go. Race stagic. All right, coming up, Jeff Bellinger, and 1144 01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:12.359 once again we will put on display for the world to see the sheer psychic 1145 01:28:12.479 --> 01:28:18.279 power of this show by you know, basically, Ross and I are like 1146 01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:21.439 like Uri Geller, but we can bend spoons. Okay, you don't want 1147 01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:25.760 to screw with us, and I'll explain why. Yet another prediction is coming 1148 01:28:25.800 --> 01:28:28.439 true. We'll do it next. Hang on, Good morning, Casey. 1149 01:28:28.680 --> 01:28:32.319 Just got another inflation report this morning, and it appears to be easing investors' 1150 01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:38.560 concerns. The Producer Price Index, which tracks wholesale level price pressures, rose 1151 01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:42.680 two tens percent last month, not as much as expected. The core PPI, 1152 01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:45.960 which strips out food and energy costs, was also up two tens percent. 1153 01:28:46.039 --> 01:28:50.319 That was in line with forecasts. Futures were lower until that report came 1154 01:28:50.359 --> 01:28:54.159 out. Right now, the S and P futures are up four points, 1155 01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:58.560 NASDAC futures are up forty five, and the now futures are moving back and 1156 01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:01.720 forth across the change level. Right now, they're down two. Number of 1157 01:29:01.720 --> 01:29:06.920 workers signing up for unemployment benefits fell by eleven thousand to two hundred eleven thousand 1158 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:13.880 last week. Instagram announcing today it's deploying technology to crack down on sexting and 1159 01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:19.000 to fight sexual extortion. The social media platform says new tools will automatically blurn 1160 01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:24.319 nudity and direct messages. It is part of a larger effort to offer more 1161 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:29.119 protection for young people think twice before making a purchase using a buy now, 1162 01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:33.279 pay later plan. Deferred payments have quickly become popular. They have also quickly 1163 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:38.880 led to financial trouble for a lot of consumers. Bankred dot com reports more 1164 01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:42.600 than half of the people who have used the plans have experienced some kind of 1165 01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:46.920 problem. Overspending in missed payments common, and a lot of people have fallen 1166 01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:50.039 behind on credit card payments. At least it happened to the end of last 1167 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:56.279 year. A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphias as credit card delinquencies 1168 01:29:56.600 --> 01:30:00.000 hit a record high in the fourth quarter, nearly three and a half percent 1169 01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:03.960 the card balances or at least thirty days past new and casey. Some top 1170 01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:10.439 executives from the technology and finance industry were among those invited to last night's State 1171 01:30:10.520 --> 01:30:14.920 dinner at the White House. The guest list included Amazon dot Com founder Jeff 1172 01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:19.439 Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Microsoft President Brad Smith. The event was 1173 01:30:19.479 --> 01:30:24.640 held to honor Japanese Prime Minister Kishita. I guess it goes to prove Casey 1174 01:30:24.720 --> 01:30:28.479 it's not just radio people that show up when there's free food. No, 1175 01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:32.560 No, he's He's going to be here later hanging out with the gov because 1176 01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:36.000 Fujifilms is going to announce something and then they're having a big dinner at the 1177 01:30:36.039 --> 01:30:43.720 governor's mansion. So yeah, I think they're expanding of vacccene plans in Holiday 1178 01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:46.239 Springs, so that but head of state visit. That's interesting. Hey, 1179 01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:54.079 Real Quick, con Agra and other food manufacturers are saying that canned meats are 1180 01:30:54.159 --> 01:30:58.359 on fire, and I'm just looking at the numbers as consumers basically are using 1181 01:30:58.439 --> 01:31:00.880 canned meats to fulfill their protess he needs because of the expense of others. 1182 01:31:01.399 --> 01:31:04.479 I'm concerned because I love canned meats. I want to know your favorite? 1183 01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:12.079 Is it Vienna Sausages, Chef Boyardi, the Sloppy Joe mix, or Libby's 1184 01:31:12.119 --> 01:31:15.560 corn beef or spam? What's Jeff's favorite? I guess I'd have to go 1185 01:31:15.600 --> 01:31:18.560 with Libby's corn beef, although I haven't had it for a very long time. 1186 01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:23.000 Okay, yeah, little sausages are good too, but yeah, all 1187 01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:25.800 right, so that's interesting news, but probably not good stuff. All right, 1188 01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:28.359 Jeff, thank you very much. Okay, Casey take care. All 1189 01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:31.439 right, there you go, Jeff Ellinger who decided to go with the canned 1190 01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:36.000 corn beef. So anyway, although look and then when I say with the 1191 01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:39.600 governor, so like, we don't know exactly what they're going to announce, 1192 01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:44.560 but basically it's not really that secret. But not a Koumite or ross, 1193 01:31:44.600 --> 01:31:46.760 what was doing? Panda Express? Not a Panda Express, although we have 1194 01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:50.840 a Panda Express literally over on Falls of News, so you could head over 1195 01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:58.239 there if you need your Panda Express fix. But I was a little a 1196 01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:00.960 little taken aback by that. Oh I forgot sardines if Jeff likes sardines. 1197 01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:08.359 But that is the that's the conventional wisdom among the various media reports I'm reading 1198 01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:15.399 this morning. And finally, once again, a prediction we've made. What 1199 01:32:15.399 --> 01:32:17.880 you're saying that sounding the Miss Cleo music sounds like girls gone wild into that 1200 01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:21.039 I would say, shut up and listen, right, you don't know the 1201 01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:26.960 lore of the show, but just saying they don't know the lore of the 1202 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:30.640 show. Also, you don't look if we have psychic abilities, do you 1203 01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:33.359 want to screw with us? I mean, come on, sir, we 1204 01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:39.039 might come over to your house and bend all your spoons or maybe make your 1205 01:32:39.079 --> 01:32:42.760 goats explode. Would you rather be able to bend spoons or explode? God? 1206 01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:45.159 So, when I worked at the Magic Shop as a teenager, yes, 1207 01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:49.079 we sold the gimmick that allowed us to bend the spoons. Yeah, 1208 01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:51.159 I know how that works. So I'm going to go with the go explosion. 1209 01:32:51.560 --> 01:32:55.399 I feel like you probably wouldn't get a lot of press bookings if you 1210 01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:59.520 just ran around kept exploding, especially if they were the little baby pass out 1211 01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:01.640 goats that are and thinks are adorable. I think you'd pretty quickly be a 1212 01:33:01.680 --> 01:33:08.239 monster. But no, this prediction rather was over the Francis Scott key Bridge. 1213 01:33:09.319 --> 01:33:11.239 Yeah, and I told you, man, the first thing you want 1214 01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:15.479 to do is rename this bastard. And I was a little underestimating it.
