WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I am. I am broadcasting from the mountains of North Carolina.

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We're doing that this week, and we're going to be

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>throughout the week. We're gonna be talking to a bunch

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>of people from around western North Carolina. And the goal

5
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of this broadcast is to you know, really talk about

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in western North Carolina, what it's going

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know, for tourist season, which is the

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>lifeblood of so many of the communities up here. And

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>now I'm up at in Asheville. We have an Higheart

10
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>facility up in Ashville, and so you know that facilitated

11
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>a broadcast location. But I want to stress while we're

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about obviously Ashville, I want to talk

13
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>about Swannanoa and Canton and Banner Elk and all of

14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>these areas that to some in some way, shape or form,

15
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>were impacted by Helene. And this is the first time

16
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that I had gone to Back Cave, Chimney Rock, some

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 1>of those areas. I didn't just buzz up the main

18
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.359
<v Speaker 1>highway here. I wanted to spend some time this weekend

19
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>driving around and looking how to you you don't realize

20
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>until you see it how bad it was in some

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of these areas. I mean, I know, we have photos

22
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and we have video, and it is the modern age.

23
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>But being able especially on the highway that cuts up

24
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>there through Chimney Rock or I should say areas that

25
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>used to be Chimney Rock, and having been there on

26
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>numerous occasions and stayed there, and you know, just over

27
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the years around Lake Lure and other places, and then

28
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>being able to stand there and remember, you know, there

29
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 1>was a there was a lot of a lot of

30
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>towns that run right up on the river. They have

31
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>like stilted like restaurants and stuff. So if you go

32
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to like Sparta An areas, so those stuff like that's gone.

33
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 1>It's just good because the river's different now. And so

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>now these communities are having to figure out what they're doing.

35
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>And so while on one side it fundamentally things that

36
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I remember, you know, cafes, going to eat at h

37
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>where a cabin a roade up to a cabin that

38
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I had rented a couple of times, like that's it's

39
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 1>not there, or if it is there, it's now. It's

40
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>now very different. And while so much has been in

41
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>some areas has been rebuilt or I should say refurbished

42
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and cleaned and they're getting back to business. It's not

43
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>going to look the same in some instances, although they

44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>are doing a hell of a job trying to do

45
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>what it is that they need to do. It's really

46
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of it's mind blowing, man, especially that area,

47
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>because it's just a funnel, right. So if you understand

48
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>the topography there, and I'm sure most of you do,

49
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that whole secondary road that comes down through Back Cave

50
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>and Chimney Rock there, I mean, it's essentially just a

51
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>canyon and so you know, well, it's going to funnel

52
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>all that water through there and literally change the course

53
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of roads and rivers and things like that. Now, I

54
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>did get some stats talking to people, I think right

55
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>now from a tourism a Western North Carolina tourism perspective,

56
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>in the southern part of western North Carolina, they estimate

57
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that about eighty five percent of hospitality and tourism businesses

58
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 1>are reopening in some capacity in some way. So we're

59
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>talking hotels, restaurants, breweries, you know, cabin cabin places, some

60
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of the music venues, the outfitters that are out here.

61
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>If you like to do the tubing, maybe on the

62
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>New River, things like that. But I was really struck

63
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>because I had not been back to many of these

64
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 1>areas following what happened with Helene, and it was it's

65
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 1>it's really powerful to understand. But on the flip side,

66
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you talk to the people, you know, the restaurants that

67
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I stopped and ate at yesterday and some of the

68
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>areas I was driving around, a couple of the stores

69
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>that I popped into, right they're they're really excited to

70
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>get back to this because obviously financially, this is the

71
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 1>lifeblood of a good part of this. So that's that's

72
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>what we're going to be talking about this week. We

73
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 1>have a series of guests that'll come through and and

74
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that's the reason for the season. Okay, and then obviously

75
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>we have you know, lots of news to get into

76
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.920

<v Speaker 1>Dude. I saw some dads that were getting down, like

111
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>because I ate it. An Italian restaurant called Strata yesterday

<v Speaker 1>are up and they're just gorging themselves and like bowling

114
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>AI's and stuff, just having a grand old time.

115
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I felt like super weird this weekend because it seemed

116
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>like everybody was on like either like I'm on, like

117
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm team Parade or I'm team Protest and I'm like,

118
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm tall, stay at home and relax and do nothing.

119
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>That's me. Yeah, yeah, I was. Social media is something

120
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, that's the word I'll use something. It's something then.

121
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think there was a lot of people

122
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>were dude, the US Open finish yesterday, right, holy crap?

123
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Huh you know what I mean? Yeah?

124
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw posts that were very like confusing the hell

125
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>out of me, that were like these funny meme posts

126
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 2>about how Tiger went Woods won or something, and I'm

127
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>like what do you mean Tiger Woods won? And I

128
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>looked into it and I figured out what they were

129
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Like, I guess there was some sort of

130
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 2>rain delay and they were showing like an old broad

131
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>they were showing the two thousand and eight. Yeah, because

132
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I happened.

133
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I was watching they Yeah, they had a rain delay

134
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and then they put on the two thousand and you

135
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>know what, It's so funny because I in my head

136
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>when I saw that they were showing the third round

137
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>of two thousand and eight, which was it was an

138
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 1>amazing round like Tiger, because Tiger, it was one of

139
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the I can't remember it was one of the Spanish

140
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>or Latin American golfers was winning, one of the older guy,

141
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember who it was, and like Tiger just

142
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 1>did what Tiger does, right, He's just like I'm gonna

143
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>make this shot that nobody can make, and they just

144
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>made like three of those. But they were showing that.

145
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, somebody's gonna be really Confusedah.

146
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>They were saying, like, you know, dad's are going to

147
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>be waking up from their father's staying app looking at

148
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the TV, going wait what Tiger?

149
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah what so but no the but the the end

150
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 1>of the actual tournament. So you want to talk about

151
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>the tale of two things. So this guy named JJ Spahn,

152
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 1>who's you know, unless you really kind of watch it

153
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>most people, he's not a household name, right, And so

154
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>he shot a forty on the front nine. Okay, that's

155
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 1>you're done at that point. Normally you're done you shoot

156
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>a forty in the final round, especially when you're playing

157
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 1>a US Open course where it's really hard to score,

158
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>let alone a US open course that's one of the

159
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>hardest in rotation set up in one of the hardest

160
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.759
<v Speaker 1>ways it's ever been set up, and it's raining. You

161
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>should have forded year cooked. And he hit a shot

162
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>into the green, which was a good shot. It just

163
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately hit the flag stick. And there's a meme of

164
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>his face watching this ball, which should have been great,

165
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>bounce back, catch the slope, catch another slope, catch a

166
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 1>third slope, and just just anguish in his face. And

167
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it turned into a meme in the first half of yesterday,

168
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>they're like that face, right, and everyone was posted it,

169
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>And I kind of felt bad for the dude because

170
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>he really didn't do anything wrong, like he just sometimes

171
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you hit the flagstick man, sometimes you hit it so

172
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>close you get screwed on it, which is just fun

173
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in the game of golf. And at that point he

174
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 1>should have been done. That should have been the end

175
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 1>of it. And you know, for a lot of golfers

176
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 1>yesterday they were like they were not dealing with One

177
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of the golfers went into the History clubhouse at Oakmont allegedly,

178
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is super confirmed, although it

179
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 1>sounds like they've already banned him. Wyndham Clark went in

180
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 1>and took his frustration out on these lockers and like

181
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>destroyed some lockers, which you know you can't have. I

182
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>accidentally dropped a seven iron in a lake before, never

183
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.399
<v Speaker 1>to be seen again. Maybe maybe, but that's my club

184
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>into that lake. That's my constitutional right. You can't go

185
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>in and destroy equipment, especially at a club like Oakmont. I

186
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>don't care if you're a PJ golfer. So look, dudes

187
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>were dudes were super super upset with the way it's going.

188
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>And JJ spond had every right, Yeah, here we go.

189
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>He shot a forty on the front, he had a

190
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>he started bogie bogie bogie, par bogie bogie, right, So

191
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>like he should be done and then he shot thirty

192
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 1>two on the back and was able to pull it out.

193
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 1>And then the craziest part is it's the eighteenth hole.

194
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>He actually has a cushion, right, He's got a cushion.

195
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>He could two putt and if he two putts, he wins.

196
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>If he three putts, he would have gone to a

197
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.799
<v Speaker 1>playoff with the guy McDonald. And so they have the

198
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>cut shot of the dude watching he hits it on

199
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the farthest position away on the green, like it's sixty

200
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>five feet I think. So it is a challenge just

201
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>to lag it close enough so that you ensure that

202
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>that second shot will go in to win it. So

203
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 1>he goes back there and he had to hit it

204
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 1>so hard he hold the damn thing out. He made

205
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a sixty five put putt on one of the hardest

206
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>greens in some of the worst conditions for it, after

207
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a guy had just blown it by previously because of

208
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>the downslope there, and he hold that thing. It's it is.

209
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It will likely if they were if they put lists

210
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>together of you know, famous major moments. JJ Spawn's on

211
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 1>that list. Now, Tiger's obviously got a bunch on there,

212
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and and really the greatest golfers of all time have

213
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>made these. There's a Sandy chip out by. There's a

214
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>couple just in recent years. I'm trying to think of

215
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the big ones. There. It was, it was,

216
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>it was crazy, and so yeah, and I will admit

217
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 1>there was about three hundred dads just watching that thing

218
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>through at the various different places I was going and

219
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>checking out. So if you wanted to not pay attention

220
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to to really like horrific news and yeah, we got

221
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to get into Minnesota what happened up there and the

222
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 1>mission impossible connection and we'll get into all that. But

223
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to divorce yourself from that and just

224
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 1>eat too much and watch sports, it was a great

225
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 1>weekend to do that as well.

226
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Two funny things happen this weekend that I can recall.

227
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>A really funny thing. So Marky's bringing Lincoln to the

228
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>library to drop off some books, right, and she's coming

229
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>back home and she sends me a text message and

230
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 2>she's like, there's some sort of protest by the library.

231
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 2>There's a bunch of people with signs and I don't

232
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 2>know what it's about, but this is fantastic. Ready, she

233
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>goes the signs says something about no kings, but they're

234
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>holding like all American flags, So I think it's some

235
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 2>sort of like pro Trump, pro deportation, pro ice protest.

236
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Bless her heart, and I'm bless her heart.

237
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm laughing so hard, and I'm like, you know, your

238
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>point when you have a protest is to make people

239
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.279
<v Speaker 2>who might not be aware of your causer protest to sort.

240
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Of immediately understand it. Yes, and you.

241
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Did this thing where you're like, we're going to use

242
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the American flag because the conservatives have co opted it

243
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna make it our symbol now, so people,

244
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna use this for our protest. But what

245
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you don't understand is you've so alienated and moved to

246
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the left and away from the American symbol that when

247
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>people see it, they do think conservative and if they

248
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>if they don't know what your protests are, people are

249
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna assume you're automatically like pro Trump people. I thought

250
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>it was very funny, and.

251
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Plus it's all it was older white people, and let's

252
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 1>face it, that's the when you say older white people,

253
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>it used to being oh, you were probably talking about

254
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Mago stuff, right, right, So not that that's fair MAGA.

255
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Obviously is IS has expanded, as we saw with the

256
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 1>last election results, But that would be the stereotype people

257
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 1>would come up with, not these AARP protests. Yeah, did

258
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 1>she see the severed heads that miss Ron hoffin Steinen's

259
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Jungs posted or.

260
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, we missed it. She missed it, Okay. The

261
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>other thing was so she's like, you know, there's not

262
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cars out today. You know, it's so

263
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 2>weird how there's not a lot of cars compared to

264
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day. There's not a lot of people on the road.

265
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, yeah, cause dads don't want to do

266
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 2>anything right. We just want to be left alone, you

267
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean.

268
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Just I don't want to go to the mall all

269
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 1>day and then we get a hot stone massage. No,

270
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go to brunch. What no brunch?

271
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm he's talking about? Oh man, Yeah, yeah, that's straight out.

272
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>They want to sit maybe not you, but a lot

273
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of them just want to sit there and watch the

274
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>US open. Yeah, right, that's what they were. Yeah, they

275
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>want to do today. Nothing. I'm doing it right now.

276
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to fix anything. I don't want to

277
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>move anything that's exactly what they want to do.

278
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and if the kids are going to be turds,

279
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe just if you could just handle it today and

280
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>then I'll do it for you and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man,

281
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent. So all right, I did think of

282
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you though, because I told his tell Ross for the show.

283
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So I go and I check into my hotel. And

284
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 1>you know how they got the buskers in Nashville, right,

285
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 1>the various folks drum guitars doing that. Parked in front

286
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of my hotel. Is a dude who's super hipster. He

287
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 1>has like a little folding card table and like a

288
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>nineteen twenties typewriter and you can pay him like twenty

289
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>bucks and give them your name and what you wanted

290
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to be a bound he'll write you a poem. So

291
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you want me to get you a poem? You want

292
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to poem about you and then you can make whatever

293
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you want. I'll get you a poem, buddy. I'm gonna

294
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.639
<v Speaker 1>get a picture of that guy.

295
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 2>How much are they?

296
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a ten or twenty, depending on

297
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>what you wanted.

298
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a good deal.

299
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a deal. There's something, or you get grocked to

300
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 1>write it all right, anyway, we gotta take a break.

301
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. Yes, we're doing the live broadcast

302
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 1>all week up here talking about even though I'm in Asheville,

303
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about western North Carolina at large and specifically

304
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 1>areas of the state that obviously suffered the worst of

305
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 1>what Helene had to offer, and we we wanted to

306
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>get a sense of where we are. I know a

307
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that spend a lot of time up

308
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 1>in the mountains of North Carolina during the summer, or

309
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe they you know, they carve out a week it's

310
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a family trip and they've done it each year. They

311
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>find a cabin to rent, or they have a favorite

312
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>hotel or lodge, maybe along the Blue Ridge Parkway, those

313
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>types of areas, and we just wanted to get a

314
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 1>sense of what's going on, because it's it's you get

315
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 1>in a doom loop with some of this stuff, right,

316
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 1>You wonder, are we gonna be able to go to

317
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Little Switzerland and go to the chocolate store that the

318
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 1>kids love and do this other thing and go up

319
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 1>to about Mitchell And the answer is yes, primarily primarily yes,

320
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>but it may look different in some places, and some

321
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>places are still, you know, rebuilding and trying to get

322
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 1>back to where they are, and that's when it becomes

323
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>more important. So as these places come back, it's important

324
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:32.119
<v Speaker 1>that the tourism comes back. And so that's uh, that's

325
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 1>that's why we're up here, that's why we're doing this thing.

326
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So and I am curious over the course of the

327
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.759
<v Speaker 1>show if anyone has had an opportunity, because what struck

328
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 1>me so much was the route, you know, the driving

329
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>around this weekend and going to some of these places

330
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 1>that I've enjoyed over the years on a on a

331
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty regular basis, and and just checking them out. And

332
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.119
<v Speaker 1>and some I walked in. There's a there's a place

333
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>where I ate lunch on Saturday, excuse me, on yesterday

334
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday and or I normally lunch, but I did.

335
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I stopped in there, popped in, and they had been

336
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 1>they had been just high enough without the flow of

337
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.839
<v Speaker 1>water there. And and yet you know, the two businesses

338
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.799
<v Speaker 1>adjacent to them, one of them's gone. It's just gone.

339
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>They're rebuilding. It just kind of down the road a

340
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>little ways there north out of bat Cave. And I

341
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 1>until you see it, man, until you see and uh, well,

342
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear some of the stories. And I talked to

343
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 1>some folks yess that are going to be talking to

344
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 1>later in the week, just you know, what did it

345
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 1>look like. What were you Yeah, imagine trying to keep

346
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 1>your business open because you were fortunate enough and you

347
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 1>have to spend a month and a half essentially running

348
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a generator because even when you get power back, it's

349
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>just not consistent. And that's what some of these areas

350
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 1>went through. And you know, so the rush to get

351
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>back and get ready, so the people come up at

352
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the ash field was loaded yesterday, loaded when I got

353
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 1>when I actually physically got into town and and kind

354
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of set up to meet with some of the some

355
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of the folks who are helping us coordinate here. You

356
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>know that area down you know, right in the city

357
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 1>center core there around everything. You had so many people

358
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 1>walking around and yeah, you had the Father's Day thing

359
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and there was a lot of that, and you know,

360
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>they were they were, they were a bustling. And and

361
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 1>then I was talking to the tourism people and they're,

362
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're still down a certain percentage for you know,

363
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>even a community like Asheville, which you know a lot

364
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.839
<v Speaker 1>of money came in a lot of help. The river side,

365
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the Amish you're building. I went

366
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.559
<v Speaker 1>over there. That's in. That is insanely impressive. What's going

367
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>There's still still a bunch of amaged people up here

368
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>building stuff still. So those, those are the stories we

369
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 1>want to communicate in addition to the news, and we

370
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>got to get into some of that. So even though

371
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Ross's wife did not know what was going on, which

372
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm very jealous of, we had the No King stuff

373
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, and there's a bunch of insane vignettes

374
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.440
<v Speaker 1>about how that went. And of course MSNBC coupling the

375
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.799
<v Speaker 1>No Kings with this horrific story out of Minnesota with

376
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.920
<v Speaker 1>this guy who decided that he was going to go

377
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and he was going to shoot to Minnesota lawmakers and

378
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.319
<v Speaker 1>their spouses, killed two of them, and the whole story's insane,

379
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think the most insane. I mean, clearly the

380
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.839
<v Speaker 1>murder is the most vicious part of it, But when

381
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you get into the details of like how he was

382
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>pretending to be a cop, he had like what looked

383
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>like asks. You Now, some of this is speculative, but

384
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably pretty accurate and some of it

385
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:05.079
<v Speaker 1>is like, we know what's up, there's video and and

386
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>but we don't know why certain things were done. Like

387
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 1>there's one where he smashes a car window and it

388
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of looks like he's breaking in, but maybe he's

389
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 1>smashing it to look like stage or crime scene. I

390
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think we know one hundred percent exactly what all

391
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that looks like. But easily the weirdest thing is the mask.

392
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you have no idea how excited Ross was.

393
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to avoid social media so much this

394
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 2>weekend because it's so negative and so toxic. Yes, and

395
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 2>there's so many different issues to be toxic about. It's like, oh,

396
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 2>pro Israel, or no, I hate the Jews, or it's

397
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>oh Iran or I know I hate it, or it's

398
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.279
<v Speaker 2>the parade is dumb, or it's Trump's birthday and it's

399
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 2>just like North Korea, or it's like, oh, you know,

400
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 2>it's a no Kings and then the Minnesota thing, and

401
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 2>everything's just so horrible, and I'm just gonna step away

402
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>from social media and enjoyed the Father's Day weekend with

403
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.480
<v Speaker 2>my family and relax as you should, right, appreciate what

404
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 2>I have and just taking the weekend and try to

405
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 2>avoid social media. But when it did jump on, you

406
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:07.920
<v Speaker 2>see the photo of the guy like I guess, like

407
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.960
<v Speaker 2>dressed like a copp or whatever at the front door,

408
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>this guy in Minnesota, right, Yeah, the first thing I thought,

409
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, that guy's got to be wearing a mask, right,

410
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Like there's that's got to be like a mission impossible

411
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.240
<v Speaker 2>mask or something like. That's not his face, that can't

412
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.759
<v Speaker 2>be it. But nobody is mentioning the mask, And I'm like,

413
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 2>how come nobody else is correct?

414
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 1>The first you were speculating on it because because there

415
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 1>was a conspiracy that it was two different people. Yeah, right,

416
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.839
<v Speaker 1>it's really not him, And I'm like, I think that's

417
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 1>a mask too.

418
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Right, there's so many conspiracies around this this thing right now,

419
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.119
<v Speaker 2>like the guy and you know, was it really the

420
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.279
<v Speaker 2>guy or did he come and like he would he

421
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.599
<v Speaker 2>took the fall for somebody else, I spread somebody, But

422
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 2>nobody was mentioning, Hey, this guy's wearing like a mask.

423
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.359
<v Speaker 2>And the first thing you said this morning was how

424
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 2>about that guy's mask?

425
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like that? Yeah, I thought it was going insane.

426
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's a mask, that's a it's a LATEX

427
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 1>mission impossible mask man or something something similar to that,

428
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 1>which just shows you, like all of the it's just

429
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>one of a hundred really weird things about this. Oh,

430
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 1>there's so many wrong. Yeah, there's lots of You're fair

431
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to question this because there's not there's so many things

432
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 1>that need answer.

433
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 2>You see like the ring that photo of him wearing

434
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 2>the mask, dressed like the cop and I guess he

435
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 2>had a car that would also also look like a

436
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>cop car or something.

437
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, look like an suv like one of the

438
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>without the lights on top, but you see the lights

439
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in the back window or something.

440
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>You'd see like the ring cam, you know, the video

441
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>of this guy, And I'm like, why would you open

442
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the door? Like if I if somebody rings my doorbell

443
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>late at night and we check out the camera because

444
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 2>we have like multiple cameras in our porch, including the door, right,

445
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>and I see somebody and I'm like, that's not your face.

446
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not opening that door, right, Like, I'm like, this

447
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:55.319
<v Speaker 2>dude is dressed like a cop, wearing like murder right. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

448
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 2>you don't get you don't want to get sucked into

449
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the mother ship. Maybe they were like super groggy. I

450
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know what time it all had happened. I'm not

451
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the details. So maybe they were super

452
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 2>groggy and you get up, you get the sleepies out

453
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 2>of your eyes or whatever the Krusty's and you're like,

454
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 2>who's this on my door? It's a cop and you

455
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.839
<v Speaker 2>don't notice that the guy has like a mask on.

456
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know a couple a couple of things too.

457
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 1>If you're a lawmaker and she was a speaker, Like,

458
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:23.079
<v Speaker 1>if you're a lawmaker, you probably have some more additional

459
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 1>interaction with law enforcement because people, you know, weirdos make

460
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>threats and stuff. Do you know what I'm saying? Like,

461
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>but usually, uh, you know, the protection detail in Minnesota

462
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>is the same as is in North Carolina's having broadcasts

463
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 1>there with the state Patrol or they're the Minnesota Highway Patrol.

464
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 1>It is office the protection detail that the politicians get

465
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>our officers from the state Patrol. So it wouldn't be

466
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Champlain or Brooklyn. Where's the Brooklyn Center? I think Brooklyn

467
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Park or Brooklyn Center. It can never there's two of

468
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 1>them right next to each other. So in the color

469
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>of the shirt there and this is important, is in

470
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 1>that video is a is a Minneapolis police color?

471
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Just having you know, how.

472
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>You know in your head what the copy uniforms look

473
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 1>like in the towns you lived in. So I lived

474
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in Minnetonka, and they have a black motif on the

475
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Minnetonka Police, but in Minneapolis that's the color. So it

476
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>looked like he was going for a Minneapolis police officer

477
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 1>uniform color. But neither of these were in the city

478
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:35.079
<v Speaker 1>of Minneapolis. They're in suburbs. So that part was weird

479
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to me, just having that, you know, the local knowledge

480
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.519
<v Speaker 1>of what's going on there. But yeah, the mask, I mean,

481
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>we're not there yet. It's not we're not We don't

482
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have the technology quite yet unless you have time to

483
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>sit for four hours in a Hollywood special effects chair.

484
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 1>So you're right, man, if you looked at he really

485
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>got eyes on it, that should be like super red flag.

486
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, he wasn't. At the point. It wasn't like a

487
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden clone quality type mask. But it was like,

488
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a like a high end spirit Halloween.

489
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean Joe Biden quality? We all know? Right, Okay,

490
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.319
<v Speaker 1>all right, leave it at that. I don't know how

491
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 1>many posts I've seen where they like you could see

492
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the zipper his I ears it's obviously somebody pretending.

493
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 2>To be and maybe it is.

494
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:20.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

495
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know everything, but the thing, yeah, right, this

496
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.599
<v Speaker 2>is so that was like, that's not right, you said,

497
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it's like this the guy. The mask that guy was

498
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>wearing was like a high end spirit Halloween type mask.

499
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>And and then there's like video of him over given

500
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>like weird. Did you watch any of his sermons from

501
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>over in Africa? They don't make any sense.

502
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I and I saw there was some sort of like, uh,

503
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>they're saying there might be some connection to us a

504
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I d or some because I don't know. I like,

505
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 2>I saw them scrolling. I saw them, but I want

506
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to press it and listen to it.

507
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 2>And I just I's trying to enjoy my weekend.

508
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't blame you, man. Yeah, it's uh, it's

509
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to digest all this yesterday after have you know,

510
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 1>traveling and then having to work out tech stuff, which

511
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>can you know, it could be a little frustrating when

512
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.759
<v Speaker 1>you're when you you know, you pop up to do

513
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a remote broadcast until you get it all set up

514
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know obviously we're cooking with gas. Now we're fine.

515
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Think it sounds good, connections good, but you know, so

516
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm scrambling because I'm trying to do the tour and

517
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to you know, check out these places on

518
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 1>my way up to Ashville and really get a sense

519
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of it and make some notes and talk to people.

520
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Then I'm doing the tech stuff, and I'm also trying

521
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 1>to figure out what the hell's going on with mask dude,

522
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 1>because right he hadn't been caught. He's been caught. Now

523
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I just gave himself up, but you know, he was

524
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.960
<v Speaker 1>still on the run for most of yesterday. So I'm

525
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to follow along with that, put together the other

526
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, just the other news stories. MSNBC and all

527
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 1>of them are like they're they're excited because they can

528
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.160
<v Speaker 1>like the no Kings thing, but then they can they

529
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.400
<v Speaker 1>can tie this guy because you know, we have to

530
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>rush out and figure out who he voted for, right

531
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 1>you have both sides and who appointed him to a

532
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>governor's panel, and like none of it's congruent hit. His

533
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 1>roommates were like he liked Trump, but then he had

534
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of No Kings flyers in his car, and

535
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 1>people know what the hell is going on?

536
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, both sides are trying not to claim him. And

537
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 2>then you have like people that are like, oh, well,

538
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:21.559
<v Speaker 2>you have the No Kings flyers in his car. But

539
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 2>then you have the other people that are like, oh no,

540
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.400
<v Speaker 2>they were planted there, like the way that cops plant

541
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 2>crack on. People's the same sort of sprinkle crack on. Yeah,

542
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of crack sprinkling obviously, so uh look

543
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>at that. So people are like, I also drove through

544
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the No King's protests and I was super.

545
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Confused by the flags, right yeah, yeah, And then he goes,

546
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>why is everyone protesting Elvis? I don't know, man, It's good.

547
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question. That's a good question.

548
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 2>I saw a sign from Chicago that said the only

549
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 2>King in Chicago is Abe Froeman.

550
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 1>That's a good sign, dude. I love the guys. You

551
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.519
<v Speaker 1>do funny sides.

552
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.799
<v Speaker 2>But then underneath it in the comment, somebody was like,

553
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>why because he's a Jew? Sad like, I hate all

554
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:10.799
<v Speaker 2>you people. I hate you all.

555
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:16.599
<v Speaker 1>You know what's you know, what's what's what's horrible too

556
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>is Iran. The Iran military has a Twitter account and

557
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 1>they were posting like old school, hooked nosed jew photos

558
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was still the less offensive anti Jewish posting

559
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 1>that was going on, if that you know what I mean.

560
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Iran military's posting exactly what you kind

561
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.119
<v Speaker 1>of expect there, and like people were like, you're not

562
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 1>being aggressive enough.

563
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 2>There's like I said, there was so much negativity on

564
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 2>social media this weekend, I had to check out. At

565
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 2>some point. I'm like, I can't keep doing this because it's.

566
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, look at least MSNBC wouldn't feed the beast, right right, Yeah,

567
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's we can all. We can all agree

568
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>with that.

569
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 3>The overwhelming majority of Americans, regardless of political party and

570
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 3>regardless of who the subject of the fascination is, that's

571
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 3>a very red line that.

572
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 4>Will be crossed.

573
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 3>I wonder some of these protests around the country, including yours,

574
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 3>whether that's a unifying force for people who are going

575
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:10.799
<v Speaker 3>to come out and say, we want our.

576
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Democracy a certain way.

577
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 3>We have the right to protest, it's a First Amendment right.

578
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:17.319
<v Speaker 3>We don't cross lines into political violence.

579
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would hope.

580
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 5>So, I would hope that this is a unifying moment.

581
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.440
<v Speaker 5>But unfortunately, as we've seen time and time again, it

582
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 5>usually isn't we have too many people and too many

583
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 5>elected officials, including the current augumented White House, who escalates

584
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:40.039
<v Speaker 5>rhetoric and violent rhetoric against political opponents, and that the

585
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.880
<v Speaker 5>other guy who was shot of tragic events, the other

586
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:46.920
<v Speaker 5>guy was shot absolutely unacceptable in every single elected official

587
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.559
<v Speaker 5>should be condemning this, regardless of their political party. But

588
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 5>I don't have the greatest hope for some people to

589
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.480
<v Speaker 5>actually come.

590
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Out and do that. Really one person, I think that's

591
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 1>who who like you, dude, you were so close to

592
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>having probably a good message in there, like maybe we

593
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:08.720
<v Speaker 1>should all take a step back and stop putting a

594
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.559
<v Speaker 1>quarter in the uh the insanity machine. But no, no,

595
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 1>you're just like ah Trump and it's like, I don't know, man,

596
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 1>he was shot. So there, there's that. There's that there.

597
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 1>We have a state lawmaker here in North Carolina decided

598
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to post it was actually a video and then uh

599
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:32.559
<v Speaker 1>and then the photo like the screenshots went not went viral. Uh,

600
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>there's Jewel Julie von Hoffen. How do you pronounce it

601
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:39.759
<v Speaker 1>with her last name there haythen Hoffen. I don't, I

602
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know, and I really don't care. So she posted

603
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 1>she posted this video and in it there's severed heads

604
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 1>of Trump, and at no point, go that's probably not

605
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.759
<v Speaker 1>a good idea, and you know, the crazy thing is

606
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>too ross. We have an example of somebody with a

607
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 1>bloody severed head with uh Trump head and how that

608
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 1>worked out for her, right, So like this isn't new.

609
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Talk to Kathy. Kathy'll let you know whether that's a

610
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>good idea or not, although she then does kind of

611
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 1>double down on it later Kathy Griffin, but like immediately,

612
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 1>but you're a state lawmaker. You're a state lawmaker, and

613
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you post this stuff. And then you're like, you didn't

614
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 1>even apologize, You just simply when you explained it. One

615
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.039
<v Speaker 1>you deleted your Twitter account, it looks like but two

616
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook, you're just like, I posted a video and

617
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 1>it had this in it and here's the context, and

618
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like, maybe you shouldn't have posted that. You know me?

619
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Do you know how if you go on the draft folder,

620
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I should probably delete some of this stuff. There's been

621
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 1>posts where I've written them, and I'm like, I'm gonna

622
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>save it as a draft and like I'm gonna go

623
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.079
<v Speaker 1>and do what I'm doing, and if later I still

624
00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 1>think it's a good idea. I'll post it because you

625
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.519
<v Speaker 1>got to be cognition.

626
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you do have to sit on stuff because yeah,

627
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, being in this business, you think about how

628
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 2>there are certain people that do want you fired. Like

629
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 2>there that is their existence, that's there, that's why they're

630
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's their weather here and there they are,

631
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.960
<v Speaker 2>And like you've got to realize, like certain ways people

632
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>are going to interpret what you could post even if

633
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 2>that's not the case. Right, Yeah, smart about it.

634
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and uh, and so we do it from if

635
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you're a lawmaker, I absolutely that should be your mindset.

636
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It should be for anyone who's in any sort of

637
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 1>professional position. But but when you're in a position where

638
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 1>half the people hate you, we do talk radio. That's

639
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.799
<v Speaker 1>how that goes. You do your politician, that's how that goes.

640
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.119
<v Speaker 2>We've known people fired for making innocent jokes.

641
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 1>We both absolutely just in the timing, like there's years

642
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you can do it, and then a year later you can,

643
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>then a year later you can. All Right, we're gonna

644
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 1>take a break. We'll be right back. Hang on. I'm

645
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 1>up in the mountains where it is slightly cooler but

646
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot more human. I will tell you, man Ross.

647
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>So I was driving up it was that last little

648
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 1>like twenty six, which is just the last little shootoff

649
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:08.199
<v Speaker 1>into Asheville there, and all of a sudden there's a

650
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.880
<v Speaker 1>traffic jam coming in. And you know I grew obviously,

651
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in ranch country, right, and you know, yeah,

652
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, sure, there's a We got agriculture obviously all

653
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.039
<v Speaker 1>around the triad and the triangle and the periphery, but

654
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.519
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, unless you kind of live out

655
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a little ways, you don't really run into it. And

656
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 1>they had a traffic jam, and I figured out a trailer,

657
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a truck trailer had jackknife that was hauling way too

658
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 1>many round bails. The big it looked like the half

659
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 1>ton round beils, which are now scattered all across the highway.

660
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:45.960
<v Speaker 1>And there's like fifty cops there, like what the hell

661
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna do with these things? Just standing around

662
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 1>lights for miles. So I hadn't been in a good

663
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:56.079
<v Speaker 1>livestock or agricultural jackknife situation. And by the way, look

664
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the driver was standing there. The cab was turned over,

665
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:02.440
<v Speaker 1>but they seemed to be fine, so that was good.

666
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, just hay bales all across the road man.

667
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I adn't see one of those in a while, So

668
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>there you go. Yeah, it's just a got I got

669
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of little little stories. We're gonna be talking

670
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:15.599
<v Speaker 1>to a bunch of people up here as part of

671
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 1>this broadcast. But let me get back to some of

672
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 1>the audio that we were playing here, and I also

673
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.639
<v Speaker 1>got a piece of audio in honor of Father's Day.

674
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You're just gonna love. But I gotta get through the

675
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:36.159
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC insanity. So when we last left our heroes, they

676
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 1>were trying to pretend that they were against political violence

677
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:41.320
<v Speaker 1>but using it as a way to pistol rip Trump,

678
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>which is not altogether unusual, but it was a soft

679
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.119
<v Speaker 1>version of it that didn't last very long because, of

680
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.800
<v Speaker 1>course MSNBC has got time to fill. They got through

681
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 1>normal cast of characters that they need to get into,

682
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and of course they got a cover or I should

683
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:01.719
<v Speaker 1>say villains that they have to get into, and they

684
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>got to cover these stories, and they got to cover

685
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.079
<v Speaker 1>what happened in Minnesota, the no King stuff, and then

686
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of course we'll get into the parade pearl clutching. But

687
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.159
<v Speaker 1>they were, they were, they were a feasting this weekend.

688
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.559
<v Speaker 1>They were super excited to get into all of this.

689
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just you want to hear giddiness. Let's do this.

690
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.639
<v Speaker 6>This is also not a normal question because I'm going

691
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.880
<v Speaker 6>to ask it about the Department of Justice, which you're

692
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 6>two for. Prior to this administration, it's always been held

693
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.920
<v Speaker 6>that the Department of Justice is an a political.

694
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Body, right, yeah, Ross, would you say that prior to

695
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration the Department of Justice is an a

696
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:38.960
<v Speaker 2>political body?

697
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 1>The people prosecuted all the j sixers.

698
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know if I would say that or

699
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 2>go that far. Yeah, no, I would go no, probably no.

700
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you're gonna go no, all right, Oh look at that.

701
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>They just threw Ross and jail for fifty years. Oh well,

702
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.800
<v Speaker 1>all right. And then, by the way, that's just there

703
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:56.280
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to do. We even have to go back

704
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to during the civil rights era where they were running

705
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:03.199
<v Speaker 1>like sting recording operations on MLK. Are you let's are

706
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we the FBI at large? Do you really you really

707
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.400
<v Speaker 1>believe that, which, by the way, is an insane position

708
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.119
<v Speaker 1>for somebody who would describe themselves as liberal in this

709
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 1>country for most of the time, right right, That should

710
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:24.599
<v Speaker 1>that should be an incongruent position, but because Trump. Yeah,

711
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.280
<v Speaker 1>now it's the it's the other way. Everything's it's it's

712
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>opposite stay every day. It's opposite stay, which when you

713
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:34.400
<v Speaker 1>when you have no values, you have no scruples. I

714
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 1>guess that's how you have to operate. Consistency is not king.

715
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 6>Do you see it as such now? And if you don't,

716
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 6>the fact that these are two Democratic lawmakers that have

717
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.679
<v Speaker 6>been attacked, one killed and one right now fighting for

718
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:48.519
<v Speaker 6>his life, you.

719
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Know, including Democrats who specifically specifically went away from their

720
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>party over some pretty high profile votes in Minnesota, including

721
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 1>the woman who crossed over who was killed, her and

722
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 1>her husband who sided with the with the decision to

723
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 1>not provide free healthcare to illegal immigrants. They were up

724
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in arms. I mean I have a special connection because

725
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of followers on social media for

726
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.159
<v Speaker 1>my time doing radio in Minnesota, so I get fed

727
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot more news from up there. They were like

728
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:27.079
<v Speaker 1>burn it down, the moonbat protesters like burn it down

729
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>when they wanted to get rid of free healthcare for illegals.

730
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

731
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw a video for after the vote and she

732
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.079
<v Speaker 1>seemed terrified. Yeah, because people within her own party were

733
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 1>threatening her and not I mean kind of like trying

734
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 1>to pretend that they weren't really but they kind of were. Man,

735
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 1>it was not good. So with that in mind, this

736
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>is why everyone was just trying to interpret, Well, what happened?

737
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Did this guy go after her with his weird mission

738
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:59.400
<v Speaker 1>impossible mass because she parted ways, or as his roommates said,

739
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>he loved Trump. But then other people were like, well

740
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>then why would Tim Walls put him on a governor's committee?

741
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing is insane, and rather than trying to

742
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.159
<v Speaker 1>pick through those individual points, we just get this all.

743
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 6>After being shot multiple times. Do you have any doubt,

744
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.320
<v Speaker 6>any concern that because of political differences biases, this will

745
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:22.639
<v Speaker 6>not be.

746
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Addressed the way it should be.

747
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:25.519
<v Speaker 4>It should be a political right.

748
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:29.639
<v Speaker 7>That's what we have seen from Republican and democratic administrations

749
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.320
<v Speaker 7>up until this one. Right now, Donald Trump has in

750
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.679
<v Speaker 7>place people who are.

751
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 1>More loyal, imagine believing.

752
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.119
<v Speaker 7>That to him than they are to the constitution and

753
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 7>the rule of law. And what really, if I can

754
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:44.760
<v Speaker 7>bring just rewind the tape, if I can. Just four

755
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:51.679
<v Speaker 7>months ago, we saw this president pardon violent January sixth

756
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.519
<v Speaker 7>offenders people who were convicted, fifteen hundred of them, fifteen

757
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.239
<v Speaker 7>he just.

758
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, So I just want to and here's the point.

759
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 1>He's correct in this sense that some of the people

760
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that he pardoned were the people because you know my position,

761
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.639
<v Speaker 1>right I. My position was, it's very different if you

762
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.719
<v Speaker 1>walk through a door next to a Capitol police officer

763
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>who's playing but jeweled on his phone, who has a conversation.

764
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:17.039
<v Speaker 1>If you watch the video, there's instances or they're just

765
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:18.760
<v Speaker 1>say hey, you know, blah blah blah, and then they

766
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>get in there and you're like, nah, you're go to

767
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:25.159
<v Speaker 1>jail for ten years, versus the people with the flagpole

768
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.599
<v Speaker 1>who absolutely assaulted police officers in some instances, who I'm like,

769
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 1>bury them under the prison, don't care because I don't

770
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:35.960
<v Speaker 1>have patience for that in any context, whether it's what's

771
00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:40.599
<v Speaker 1>going on in La what happened there and no, A

772
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand times no, But we're talking of actual physical assault charges.

773
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Is a very small percentage. And the argument, whether you

774
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.360
<v Speaker 1>agree with it or not, was because the whole thing

775
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 1>was so politicized, because they were willing to essentially goulag

776
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 1>some people who did nothing more. We had a guy

777
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:05.239
<v Speaker 1>locally who was up there trying to do journalism who

778
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.199
<v Speaker 1>was among those right, who is a known journalist, who

779
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is a guy we've had on the show before. So

780
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:17.159
<v Speaker 1>he's like he's got credits if you will, and they

781
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:19.679
<v Speaker 1>were just like, nah, you gotta throw the book at you,

782
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like these are.

783
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.760
<v Speaker 2>The amount of time there, like the span of that

784
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:26.920
<v Speaker 2>audio cut where they go from saying that the DOJ

785
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.719
<v Speaker 2>is you know, a political and then his point, you know,

786
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.199
<v Speaker 2>is well, you know, as an example, here's how we

787
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>treated the Jay sixers is insane.

788
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, look is everything ugly surrounding that, Yes, yeah,

789
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent, Like I don't, I don't, I don't.

790
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Trump, I don't know, if I

791
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I I one hundred percent like what they decided to do.

792
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:56.800
<v Speaker 1>But something had to give, something had to give. Throwing people,

793
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.599
<v Speaker 1>They threw somebody. They were gonna give somebody ten years

794
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:05.760
<v Speaker 1>who wasn't there, who was not there, So don't give

795
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:07.199
<v Speaker 1>me this garbage.

796
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Man that you know, you had grandparents that were in

797
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 2>these you see these, you remember.

798
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:14.679
<v Speaker 1>The video looked like the old Lady Tour group. That's

799
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 1>look at the tapestries, like.

800
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Like elderly people like Grandma's and Grandpa's going using their.

801
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Cricket phone to take pictures and the big buttons.

802
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there's videos of them unlocking the doors for them

803
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and being escorted in and they're looking around at the

804
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.199
<v Speaker 2>paintings like, well, look at this, this is very nice.

805
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:33.519
<v Speaker 1>This is so I was there for? That? Is that?

806
00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:36.760
<v Speaker 1>The revolution? And they're in prison for twenty thirty years?

807
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:37.440
<v Speaker 2>So you insane?

808
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, people, people have like three years to live right there.

809
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:45.360
<v Speaker 2>They were pardoned because the dj was political and they

810
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 2>were political opponents and they were arrested for it. It's insane.

811
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But they didn't arrest like politicians, did they.

812
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Of their opposite political because that definitely wouldn't happen. Can

813
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 2>you imagine if that did happen.

814
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Lincoln Projects said if it ever happened,

815
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:03.639
<v Speaker 1>it would be the end of democracy. So I hope

816
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it's never happened. What kind of a country would do that?

817
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.559
<v Speaker 1>That's I don't know, man, Well one, that's the end

818
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:12.159
<v Speaker 1>stage democracy, even though tachically we're not a democracy. And

819
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:16.239
<v Speaker 1>it's really funny, extra funny because Lincoln also jailed political opponents,

820
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:21.480
<v Speaker 1>so you're called the Lincoln Project. You absolute dull.

821
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:26.760
<v Speaker 7>Normalized political violence. These are people, Alex that he summoned

822
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:31.199
<v Speaker 7>to Washington. He told them come to DC, will be wild,

823
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:33.880
<v Speaker 7>he says in a tweet. And they come to Washington

824
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 7>at his past, they come with their zip ties, they

825
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.800
<v Speaker 7>come with their weapons, they come with their bear spray,

826
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:42.760
<v Speaker 7>and he tells them to march down to the Capitol

827
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.920
<v Speaker 7>and to fight like hell, and they do exactly that.

828
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 7>He tells them to stop. And so now he gets

829
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.679
<v Speaker 7>back in office and he pardons that. That to me

830
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 7>is the normalization of political violence.

831
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, except you left out the other part of

832
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Speaker 1>what he said about peaceful protests very explicitly said it

833
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and then tweeted it.

834
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Ran No, he did tweet it. He did say it

835
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:08.800
<v Speaker 2>like specific.

836
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:10.719
<v Speaker 1>He both said it and tweeted it. That's the thing.

837
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:12.559
<v Speaker 2>He said it with his closed the remarks and then

838
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:14.920
<v Speaker 2>he tweeted it. But the problem is once he tweeted it,

839
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 2>they took the post down. Yeah, like they censored the president.

840
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, but that was the twitter. I can't believe

841
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Elon would do that. Monster, absolute monster. All right, this

842
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:33.760
<v Speaker 2>is speaking of pepper spray. There is kind of a

843
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:37.559
<v Speaker 2>crazy video with one of the No Kings protests. Well,

844
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.920
<v Speaker 2>we had some pepper spray and then Charlotte going on

845
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and some other stuff.

846
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I got I got a Charlotte store. I'm gonna

847
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:43.679
<v Speaker 1>tell you.

848
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I just gotta figure out ho I'm gonna tell this,

849
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.400
<v Speaker 2>so we'll get it, because I don't want to insult anyone.

850
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 1>But it was just it was kind of funny. So

851
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that'll be coming a little later in the show. But

852
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I missed the protest. It's not even good to go

853
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:56.360
<v Speaker 1>see it. So I had to watch video of the

854
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte protest, which is a okay because I don't want

855
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to go near this thing. And yeah, I got a

856
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.239
<v Speaker 1>little elevated, a little crazy, but you know, not as

857
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:09.599
<v Speaker 1>bad as some places where they actually had some quite

858
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a few arrests. And I think for the most part,

859
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:13.800
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like MSNBC, I would be honest, for the

860
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.800
<v Speaker 1>most part, the No King's protests were people waving signs,

861
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:23.320
<v Speaker 1>yelling stuff. But you know, there wasn't nobody, there wasn't assaults,

862
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.800
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't even there was some counter protests, and the

863
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 1>vast majority of them just just went off with people protesting. Good.

864
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with that one hundred percent. So the norm

865
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 1>was not I'm not going to give the impression that

866
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>they were all out of control. I think they're wrong.

867
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:45.199
<v Speaker 1>I think that they're useful idiots in some instances, and

868
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the whole concept of the no Kings thing

869
00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:52.320
<v Speaker 1>is just it's tanter me. Okay. That being said, there

870
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.159
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of things that happened. I don't know.

871
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I would have protester try to eat a

872
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.119
<v Speaker 1>whole thing of pepper spray from the cops. Man, that's

873
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.000
<v Speaker 1>not good. So yeah, yeah, we'll tweek that out so

874
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you can so you can watch that. But again, for

875
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the most part, MSNBC is just what do you There's

876
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.239
<v Speaker 1>there's no coming back from that. They're just cooked. Man.

877
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, do you hear their parade analysis? Dude?

878
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.119
<v Speaker 1>This is so all right? So this is them analyzing

879
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the military parade, which ross did you watch any of that?

880
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you watch it live at all?

881
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:29.000
<v Speaker 8>Or?

882
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I know?

883
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Once again, I tried to enjoy my weekend and just

884
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:34.760
<v Speaker 2>do nothing political because Father's Day weekend. But yeah, I

885
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.159
<v Speaker 2>did definitely did see some of the posts about the parade.

886
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have the videos of some of the

887
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:40.280
<v Speaker 2>marching and the tanks going down.

888
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:42.840
<v Speaker 1>It was so normal, it was so normal.

889
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it was super normal and it's what it

890
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:45.719
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be.

891
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Were cool too.

892
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:49.480
<v Speaker 2>What really bugged me, and we've been talking about this,

893
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, way before the event even happened, were these

894
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:54.840
<v Speaker 2>people that were like, oh, Trump doing the parade like

895
00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:56.639
<v Speaker 2>he's North Korea because it's his birthday.

896
00:46:57.199 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not. I like how they kept saying. They're like,

897
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just so convenient his birthday happens to

898
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:06.039
<v Speaker 1>coincide with the Army's two, Like do his mom tied

899
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it out right? She's sitting there that hold it in,

900
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Like oh no, we gotta gotta hold on, you know.

901
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Or it's just people just like not even bringing up

902
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that it's the birthday of the army, like

903
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:18.039
<v Speaker 2>they just.

904
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:20.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no. The conspiracy on CNN was isn't

905
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it convenient that it's the two? You know, like his

906
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:27.199
<v Speaker 1>mom planned it right. I'm like that, what are you

907
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:31.039
<v Speaker 1>talking about? You absolute lunatics? All right, we'll give you

908
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that analysis and I got some audio it's just speaking

909
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.079
<v Speaker 1>of Father's Day. Just wait for it. And we got

910
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a couple crazy the craziest sports interview over the weekend

911
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll share with you as well. But anyway, we're alive

912
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.599
<v Speaker 1>from Western North Carolina. As we spend the week up here,

913
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:53.920
<v Speaker 1>we got a whole slate of I guess we'll be

914
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.119
<v Speaker 1>talking to this week. Fact, I'll get that list out

915
00:47:57.159 --> 00:47:58.400
<v Speaker 1>here and give you a little preview.

916
00:47:59.000 --> 00:47:59.119
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

917
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:03.840
<v Speaker 1>And the the goal is to inform and encourage, and

918
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you it's you should come to western

919
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:09.679
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina and see it for yourself. And if you

920
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and your family have been coming out here for years,

921
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I think you owe it to yourself come check it

922
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 1>out and uh and really get a scent. It did

923
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:24.519
<v Speaker 1>not set in with me how aggressively Helene hit some

924
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:28.639
<v Speaker 1>of these areas until I was muddling around Chimney Rock

925
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:34.519
<v Speaker 1>and Back Cave and all of that yesterday. And if

926
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you are, if you're a fan of this part of

927
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:40.119
<v Speaker 1>the state, just from the educational standpoint, I think you

928
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.159
<v Speaker 1>owe it to yourself to you know, make make plans

929
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to take it in. And I do know that the

930
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.679
<v Speaker 1>various local economies here in western North Carolina could could

931
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:53.159
<v Speaker 1>really use it. And we will highlight that throughout the week,

932
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:54.559
<v Speaker 1>But for now we're going to take a break. Be

933
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:58.360
<v Speaker 1>right back on the CaCO Day radio program. Parade Analysis

934
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:02.039
<v Speaker 1>from MSNBC. Get a load of this one thing.

935
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:03.039
<v Speaker 9>I will say, I want to go back to you

936
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:05.199
<v Speaker 9>Ali that that again, when we talk about this sort

937
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 9>of tension in the country, and sometimes, you know, you

938
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:10.800
<v Speaker 9>and I have both been at Trump rallies, those can

939
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:15.079
<v Speaker 9>be you know, very tense, a kind of I would say,

940
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:18.360
<v Speaker 9>it's kind of a darktolent energy sometimes in them, not always,

941
00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:20.719
<v Speaker 9>but it doesn't seem like that's the energy on the

942
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Speaker 9>on the mall today, which I think is a good sign, right.

943
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Correct, that you're you're you're really correct about that, Chris,

944
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 3>And it's something we you know, we we were watching for.

945
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:32.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm just sort of surprised by the number of people

946
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:34.119
<v Speaker 3>who were at the front.

947
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.239
<v Speaker 9>Of the parade watching, cheering, and then would come.

948
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:37.440
<v Speaker 4>And ask to take a selfie.

949
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.360
<v Speaker 10>This is a very different it's a very different mood here.

950
00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:43.480
<v Speaker 3>It's people seem to be going out of their way

951
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:46.840
<v Speaker 3>to say that they're here to celebrate the army's two

952
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:47.920
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fiftieth birthday.

953
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:49.119
<v Speaker 4>Now there are people walking around side.

954
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:50.880
<v Speaker 3>A moment ago, while you were talking to gen guy

955
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 3>just came around and said Trump twenty twenty eight, and

956
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:54.639
<v Speaker 3>I said, how does that work exactly? And he's like

957
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.239
<v Speaker 3>laughing and had a bit flag on him. So there's

958
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.920
<v Speaker 3>some politicization here, but it is not it's not dark,

959
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:03.840
<v Speaker 3>it's not tense, it's not amptup.

960
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's different.

961
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.920
<v Speaker 3>It's it's different from from covering a truck rally.

962
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, okay, all right, all right, So Ros and

963
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:12.719
<v Speaker 1>I were just talking off the well we'll bug Ray

964
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:17.119
<v Speaker 1>on this coming up here in just a moment. Ah, sorry,

965
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker 1>just track. We're on location broadcasts and so it's not

966
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 1>my normal setup, and I was just trying to coordinate

967
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:28.280
<v Speaker 1>something here with because we have we have iHeart in

968
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Asheville and the morning Guy here, Mark Starling, good friend

969
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:34.639
<v Speaker 1>of mine, that's who you hear Ray reference on the regular.

970
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And because I'm physically in an adjacent studio to him.

971
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Ahead of our on site broadcast this week, we thought

972
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:46.760
<v Speaker 1>it would be really funny if I went and came

973
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:49.159
<v Speaker 1>back from break on his show. But it's my voice

974
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and then just so Ray would be super confused. But

975
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:55.079
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have it coordinated correctly, but that would have

976
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.920
<v Speaker 1>been hilarious too. So anyway, he slipped the noose on that.

977
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.519
<v Speaker 1>All right, couple things yesterday I got to tell you

978
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:06.079
<v Speaker 1>this story, Ross, do you ever pay cash for anything

979
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.719
<v Speaker 1>still or am I just a dinosaur like when you

980
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:11.199
<v Speaker 1>go like for little purchases.

981
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's like super rare. I can't remember really

982
00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:14.199
<v Speaker 2>last time.

983
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I always I always try to have you know, like

984
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, some twenties on me and for little stuff.

985
00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I still like to pay cash. But I think the

986
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:26.079
<v Speaker 1>more reason I pay cash is when I play golf.

987
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I played Nassa on you gotta have cash. I mean

988
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't because I'm good and then I win all

989
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the money. But then you have cash, but it's getting

990
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:39.880
<v Speaker 1>much more frustrating trying to use it. So yesterday I

991
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:46.760
<v Speaker 1>stopped at Bojengles for breakfast. Right, We've all been there.

992
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.519
<v Speaker 1>And I stopped at a Bojengles in Shelby, North Carolina,

993
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:54.079
<v Speaker 1>So just out of Charlotte, as you're heading up, you

994
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:58.320
<v Speaker 1>know this direction, and I go in there. It's one

995
00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's like attached to a gas station, so I

996
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was able to get fuel and do all that. I

997
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:04.880
<v Speaker 1>go in and I'm like, I need a sausage, egg

998
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:08.719
<v Speaker 1>and cheese biscuit. And there's a she looks to be

999
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:13.360
<v Speaker 1>like senior in high school gal working the register. It's

1000
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:16.480
<v Speaker 1>very nice. She's like all right, will that be it?

1001
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:16.760
<v Speaker 11>Sir?

1002
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:18.559
<v Speaker 1>You want you know, you want the meal or do

1003
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you want this the sandwich something? I just want the sandwich.

1004
00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:26.039
<v Speaker 1>And I in my hand now while I'm talking to her,

1005
00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:28.760
<v Speaker 1>because I can do the math. She goes, well, that'll

1006
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.840
<v Speaker 1>be four to twenty six. So I pull out of

1007
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:35.920
<v Speaker 1>my pocket a five dollar bill and a penny. Now, Ross,

1008
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you're an adult of my generation. Oh wait, hold on,

1009
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Ross is loading something. So but you guys listening. So

1010
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I've got the I've got a five dollars bill and

1011
00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I've got a penny, and my bill is for twenty six.

1012
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Everyone within the sound of my voice understands that I

1013
00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:57.360
<v Speaker 1>am hoping to acquire three quarters from this young lady.

1014
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:01.159
<v Speaker 1>That's why the penny's thrown in there. And this is

1015
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the easy ones. It gets more complex when

1016
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:05.639
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's like four twenty nine, and now

1017
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I got to bring four pennies up or multiple pennies

1018
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:10.199
<v Speaker 1>up into this, or I got to figure out if

1019
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to round it up to a dime or

1020
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:15.440
<v Speaker 1>how I'm gonna whatever it may be. But it's not.

1021
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:18.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just the one penny. It's the easiest thing. And

1022
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:22.840
<v Speaker 1>she looked me square in the face, and she goes, oh,

1023
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't do that. I already entered it as five,

1024
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:30.199
<v Speaker 1>because by now she's got the till open, right, And

1025
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yeah, but it won't make any difference. I'm

1026
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:38.119
<v Speaker 1>still trying to hand her the penny. She she it's

1027
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like I'm trying to hand her plutonium, right. She's not

1028
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:43.480
<v Speaker 1>touching that penny. She didn't want anything to do with it.

1029
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.960
<v Speaker 1>And then you know when somebody looks at you and

1030
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:51.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like that the the the hour glass in like

1031
00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft spinning, but in like perpetuity, and you're trying to

1032
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's going on. I'm assuming that's what was

1033
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.760
<v Speaker 1>happening in her brain as she's looking at me when

1034
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I said, but it won't matter, and I'm trying to

1035
00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>hand her and then she for like ten seconds, doesn't

1036
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:13.800
<v Speaker 1>say anything and just stares at me. But also she's

1037
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:16.800
<v Speaker 1>not counting the change that she went into, count these

1038
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:19.719
<v Speaker 1>seventy four cents that she's trying to, you know, hook

1039
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:24.199
<v Speaker 1>me up with, and she goes, but I don't know,

1040
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:27.039
<v Speaker 1>but I entered it as five, and it was in

1041
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.519
<v Speaker 1>that moment I'm just like, we're done. I could I

1042
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:32.639
<v Speaker 1>could take a moment to try to go over this,

1043
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to try to explain it, and all I could think is,

1044
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I took my seventy four cents, so now I have

1045
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:40.360
<v Speaker 1>four pennies on top of the penny already had in

1046
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:45.599
<v Speaker 1>my pocket. Is we are so screwed men, They're so

1047
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like little life skills. I don't say this is to

1048
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:54.280
<v Speaker 1>be just super negative generationally, but you just you realize

1049
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:59.199
<v Speaker 1>that the act of having to count change and actually

1050
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:03.880
<v Speaker 1>deal with physics money is it's like a math tutorial

1051
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in addition, right, it's just it's it's it's something that

1052
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.880
<v Speaker 1>helped hone your skills to do very simple mathematics there,

1053
00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:15.639
<v Speaker 1>but also to conceptualize and understand more complex things. One

1054
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of those things is the concept that no matter how

1055
00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you render the change to me, if I offset it

1056
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:26.039
<v Speaker 1>to get a certain denomination and I give you the

1057
00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:29.760
<v Speaker 1>proper amount of money, when you balance that till out later,

1058
00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:35.039
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be correct. Whether I give you five

1059
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:38.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars and you give me seventy seventy four cents back

1060
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:40.599
<v Speaker 1>on a four to twenty six bill, or I give

1061
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you a five and a one you give me three

1062
00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>quarters back. Nothing moves, and so that's that next level

1063
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:51.039
<v Speaker 1>of not just counting the money, but understanding conceptually how

1064
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>it will impact the overall total. I don't mean to

1065
00:55:54.320 --> 00:56:00.079
<v Speaker 1>get in the weeds on this stuff, but like that's

1066
00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that's stuff we need. Don't even get me writed on

1067
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the inability of people to write, and I go, I

1068
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:09.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have great handwriting, but like pros is is done,

1069
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and AI is just gonna make it worse. Being able

1070
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to structure a sentence, being able to figure out how

1071
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you structure it for maximum efficiency. Like these are all

1072
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:23.440
<v Speaker 1>skill sets that kind of break away the more we

1073
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:26.679
<v Speaker 1>get into this, Like idiocracy was ahead of its time,

1074
00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:31.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's almost it's not her fault because they're probably

1075
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the policy at Bojangles, but very likely

1076
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:37.440
<v Speaker 1>they may have told her not to do once you

1077
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:39.960
<v Speaker 1>enter it, match it, if only to make sure that

1078
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the till balances where they've decided that no longer will

1079
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.079
<v Speaker 1>that be an expectation of their employee. And it's not

1080
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:49.280
<v Speaker 1>a knock on people work at boj Angles or any

1081
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.159
<v Speaker 1>of the rest. It's just I don't know, it's just

1082
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:54.280
<v Speaker 1>those little things man, where you're just like, come on,

1083
00:56:55.679 --> 00:56:59.960
<v Speaker 1>come on, we can do this. But those are also

1084
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:03.159
<v Speaker 1>people that are easier to influence. How do I know?

1085
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I watched this insane lunatic of a woman who decided

1086
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:09.960
<v Speaker 1>she was gonna do a video. And here's the other thing.

1087
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:15.119
<v Speaker 1>If you have to talk with your hands and and

1088
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:22.320
<v Speaker 1>go like comically over overinflated gestures and screaming. Now, there's

1089
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a certain entertainment value on the radio, right, little emphasis there,

1090
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:29.119
<v Speaker 1>But when you got to do it with everything, chances

1091
00:57:29.159 --> 00:57:33.920
<v Speaker 1>are what you're saying ain't good enough because you should

1092
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:36.559
<v Speaker 1>be able to convince people or communicate your message just

1093
00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:40.599
<v Speaker 1>with your words. Inflection is important. Think it has its place.

1094
00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:43.239
<v Speaker 2>You probably don't want to look like a demon either

1095
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:47.079
<v Speaker 2>when you do it. Well, that's yeah.

1096
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I've tried to trying to soft sell like overall concept

1097
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:54.920
<v Speaker 1>before I got to lunatic here. But the more that

1098
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.679
<v Speaker 1>you do that, it's one thing to emphasize. But then

1099
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.880
<v Speaker 1>when it becomes the crutch to communicate rather than your words,

1100
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that's not good. That's not a good thing. And I

1101
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 1>got to tell you this video coupled with what she

1102
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:14.679
<v Speaker 1>believes to be true so emphatically that she will create

1103
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:17.159
<v Speaker 1>a video, as Ross pointed out, where she looks insane

1104
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:19.559
<v Speaker 1>or possessed or whatever you want.

1105
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:19.760
<v Speaker 2>To call it.

1106
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.519
<v Speaker 1>That's just I'm not trying to tie the two things

1107
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.079
<v Speaker 1>together directly. But it's a lot easier when you don't

1108
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.239
<v Speaker 1>ask somebody to critically think for the purpose of making change,

1109
00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't trust them to do that to then convince

1110
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.079
<v Speaker 1>them of what you're going to hear this woman talk about.

1111
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:40.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to that here in the next segment, but first,

1112
00:58:41.039 --> 00:58:44.000
<v Speaker 1>can we jump in the way back machine? Is Ray

1113
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:47.960
<v Speaker 1>ready to go? Let's jump in the Yeah, jumping the

1114
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:51.639
<v Speaker 1>way back machine. So Ross was reminiscing about the good

1115
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:53.559
<v Speaker 1>old days of the Weather Channel and how you guys

1116
00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:57.119
<v Speaker 1>basically used to be elevator music, yeah, and then just

1117
00:58:57.239 --> 00:58:58.159
<v Speaker 1>rotating stuff.

1118
00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:00.360
<v Speaker 2>No. So I saw a video online on Twitter, and

1119
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:02.360
<v Speaker 2>it was just an eight second video of the old

1120
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Weather Channel from nineteen ninety two with like the old graphic.

1121
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:06.880
<v Speaker 4>And the clearly old star. Yeah.

1122
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:08.400
<v Speaker 2>It looked like it came off like an old like

1123
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:12.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, Apple to E computer or whatever. And I

1124
00:59:12.199 --> 00:59:14.519
<v Speaker 2>watched this thing for like eight seconds, and then I

1125
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:18.159
<v Speaker 2>watched another video of an eight hour Weather Channel compilation

1126
00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:21.239
<v Speaker 2>of this of this music and the graphics, and it

1127
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:23.599
<v Speaker 2>took me back to my mother's house in nineteen ninety two.

1128
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm back in my mom's house watching

1129
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:27.599
<v Speaker 2>the Weather Channel and it was such a cool laugh

1130
00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:29.719
<v Speaker 2>and you got to bring it back, you gotta bring

1131
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:30.199
<v Speaker 2>it back.

1132
00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:33.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll see what I could do. Actually, one of.

1133
00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:36.320
<v Speaker 1>The yeah, yeah, go ahead, I was.

1134
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.519
<v Speaker 10>Gonna say, one of the gentlemen that actually works in

1135
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:41.719
<v Speaker 10>that department, the local stuff with those stars that are

1136
00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:43.679
<v Speaker 10>they're called stars that are put in each of the

1137
00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:46.480
<v Speaker 10>head ends in the local mark the local cable.

1138
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:49.840
<v Speaker 4>Things, he's actually retiring. Yeah, yeah, you reach Eligia local.

1139
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:52.920
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, he's actually retiring after I think he's been here

1140
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:55.000
<v Speaker 10>since the almost since the beginning, and so he was

1141
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:57.559
<v Speaker 10>responsible one of the groups that I had actually put

1142
00:59:57.599 --> 00:59:58.239
<v Speaker 10>all that together.

1143
00:59:58.519 --> 00:59:59.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I remember.

1144
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Let me just put too how the discriminatory it was

1145
01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because while Ross is in New York, which obviously has

1146
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a decent population, rather than localizing it for us in Wyoming,

1147
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:13.599
<v Speaker 1>we got thrown into Wyoming, Montana.

1148
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:15.760
<v Speaker 4>The decritas right to.

1149
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Wait and then you had to wait for the loop

1150
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to get to you. So you'd be sitting in my

1151
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:24.119
<v Speaker 1>house in Wyoming, Weather Channel's playing and you're you're waiting,

1152
01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're waiting like fifteen minutes later and then you

1153
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:29.119
<v Speaker 1>blink or somebody distracts you and you're like, ah, yes,

1154
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I sit here for another.

1155
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:33.360
<v Speaker 4>Fifteen good strategy, right.

1156
01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Imagine and it's like and then my mom would be like,

1157
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>look outside, we have wind or stuff outside. You'll have

1158
01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good idea. Yeah, but this is official, it's

1159
01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>on TV.

1160
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>But the imagine the person putting together the eight hour

1161
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:47.480
<v Speaker 2>old Weather Channel video and YouTube from nineteen ninety two,

1162
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>that's insane. Well at the same point.

1163
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:52.400
<v Speaker 10>That is, But well good, I'm glad that whoever did

1164
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:55.400
<v Speaker 10>that was able to consume eight hours of your day.

1165
01:00:56.320 --> 01:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>So how are we? How are we look at it?

1166
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:02.559
<v Speaker 1>So I'm up here in Ashville. I was gonna come

1167
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>in and sneak in when you were just doing the

1168
01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>hit with Mark over there, and then I was gonna

1169
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>come back from break just to see if we could

1170
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>throw you off. But it didn't. We couldn't time it out.

1171
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Again, I forgot that you're gonna be there.

1172
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But maybe do you know? Do you know? So the

1173
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Asheville studios are like up on a hill outside of town.

1174
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:21.719
<v Speaker 1>There's a deer, six turkeys, and like rabbits just in

1175
01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:24.599
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot right now. I saw, and I'm like,

1176
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:26.559
<v Speaker 1>now I know how they made it through Helena. Up here.

1177
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>They ate everything, just food walking around everywhere.

1178
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.320
<v Speaker 10>It's a it's a nice little spot there, a little

1179
01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.079
<v Speaker 10>porch you look out in the big field and all that.

1180
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:39.400
<v Speaker 10>It's pretty cool. Oh yeah, there there was a wedding

1181
01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:42.239
<v Speaker 10>on that back porch. I was we were at a wedding.

1182
01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:43.960
<v Speaker 10>The old old timer. John's out there.

1183
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.119
<v Speaker 4>Anymore, but he used to be the the op board

1184
01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:46.480
<v Speaker 4>up there.

1185
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay a couple of years ago.

1186
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:49.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was pretty neat.

1187
01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we're up here. Yesterday was on again, off again

1188
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>rain and then it got really humid and uh, let's

1189
01:01:57.519 --> 01:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>let's not do that again.

1190
01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:05.039
<v Speaker 4>Across well, I think we are Triad Triangle East.

1191
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Wait, hold on, ros we need the music behind him?

1192
01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:09.119
<v Speaker 1>I think. Yeah.

1193
01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:11.480
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say, yeah, there we go.

1194
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:17.119
<v Speaker 10>So the Triad Triangle East flood watched through tonight. There's

1195
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:20.079
<v Speaker 10>been some real heavy rainfall out near Rocky Mount, especially

1196
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.079
<v Speaker 10>in the twenty four hours past, almost four inches, some

1197
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:26.119
<v Speaker 10>areas over four inches near Greenville and five inch totals.

1198
01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:29.079
<v Speaker 10>There's been flash flooding. So any rainfall on top of

1199
01:02:29.119 --> 01:02:31.000
<v Speaker 10>that's just gonna make this worse. So I think we'll

1200
01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:33.920
<v Speaker 10>get more storms today. May sneak a shower in this morning,

1201
01:02:33.920 --> 01:02:36.920
<v Speaker 10>but it's mid to late afternoon into tonight that showers

1202
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:40.559
<v Speaker 10>and thutterstorms again will become likely, with heavy rainfall, potentially

1203
01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:42.719
<v Speaker 10>more flooding. And really, I think we're going to stay

1204
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.559
<v Speaker 10>in the soup the next few day, shower storms near

1205
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.880
<v Speaker 10>ninety tomorrow, probably close to ninety or hotter on Wednesday.

1206
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:50.559
<v Speaker 4>Heat and the season maybe close to one hundred.

1207
01:02:50.599 --> 01:02:53.039
<v Speaker 10>Haven't said that word in a bit, So about to

1208
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:56.480
<v Speaker 10>get shoved quickly into a real summertime humid field to

1209
01:02:56.519 --> 01:02:59.239
<v Speaker 10>the air mass and some very warm temperatures coming in,

1210
01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:01.480
<v Speaker 10>especially if you're going to be out and about.

1211
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Unless he did desease.

1212
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:04.719
<v Speaker 10>And the rain and we get it could get it good,

1213
01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:07.199
<v Speaker 10>especially to get it where you already see multiple inches

1214
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:10.320
<v Speaker 10>of rain the last day or so, you'll be first

1215
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:11.960
<v Speaker 10>to flood if we do get more heavy rain.

1216
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:14.239
<v Speaker 1>By the way, for those who know, that is Ray

1217
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Alto sacks behind Ray now so told them

1218
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the secret talented?

1219
01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you?

1220
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Have you given away your secrets? Man?

1221
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:21.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry?

1222
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll talk in an hour, Okay, Okay, yep,

1223
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I have a good one there, raced Agic from the

1224
01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>weather Chat. All right, we come back. We're gonna get

1225
01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>into that audio. I got a sports interview to tell

1226
01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:36.079
<v Speaker 1>you about as well. It's uh, the NBA player gave

1227
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>he's got he's got a very interesting theory on things.

1228
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Don't trust me, it will be relevant and it's all

1229
01:03:41.639 --> 01:03:45.559
<v Speaker 1>coming up as we continue our live broadcast from the

1230
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>mountains of North Carolina. Here in just a few minutes

1231
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>on a CaCO Day radio program, Ross has two old

1232
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:54.039
<v Speaker 1>school Weather Channel beds. He's dubbing in le do that.

1233
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:56.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, We're gonna be ready to go for ray

1234
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>in the next hour. We're very excited. So here's how

1235
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>when I talk about the slow deterioration and look MSNBC

1236
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>like was I don't want to say they're onto something,

1237
01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>but like the ability to analyze things and arrive at

1238
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:16.559
<v Speaker 1>a simultaneous conclusion as to regardless of somebody's party politics,

1239
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>where like we have a problem where we are, where

1240
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>we've allowed ourselves to be trained. I blame I look,

1241
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I blame the raw U. You know some of the

1242
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>people within the political parties. I really do. I hate

1243
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the level of influence that the political parties have. You

1244
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:37.679
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel. I don't get trust, I don't

1245
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:40.559
<v Speaker 1>get invited the Republican stuff or the Democrat stuff. Really,

1246
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>when you get into the main party stuff, I got

1247
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:46.679
<v Speaker 1>blood feuds with our Republican senator. He started it. That

1248
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:51.199
<v Speaker 1>being said to be able to gin somebody up to

1249
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:54.559
<v Speaker 1>this level of insanity is not a positive thing for

1250
01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the country. And then, and by the way, Raggedy Ann

1251
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>is an a hole. I had no idea because that's

1252
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the best description I can give of this woman. She

1253
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.559
<v Speaker 1>is so convinced that what she's about to tell you

1254
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>is the gospel just and it's all about the Founding Fathers.

1255
01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to get educated? Here we go.

1256
01:05:12.679 --> 01:05:15.280
<v Speaker 11>When the Founding Fathers made this great country. I'm going

1257
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:16.000
<v Speaker 11>to stop you right there.

1258
01:05:16.039 --> 01:05:18.519
<v Speaker 12>The Founding Father's own slaves, The Founding Fathers had less

1259
01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:20.760
<v Speaker 12>access to education than a modern day twelve year old.

1260
01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:23.559
<v Speaker 11>They don't know anything. I don't care what they wanted,

1261
01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:24.760
<v Speaker 11>I don't care what they think.

1262
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>It's uncovered.

1263
01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:31.039
<v Speaker 1>What you know Thomas Jefferson's personal library was that. That's

1264
01:05:31.079 --> 01:05:35.599
<v Speaker 1>how the Library of Congress started. Madison went to Princeton.

1265
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen a Civil War veteran's letter to

1266
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>his betrothed. You couldn't write something that well right now,

1267
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I should hope.

1268
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:48.599
<v Speaker 12>So the Constitution was written by people who didn't think

1269
01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:50.840
<v Speaker 12>women should vote. The Constitution was written by people who

1270
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 12>had fifteen year old wives dying in childbirth frequently.

1271
01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:56.639
<v Speaker 11>The Constitution was written by people.

1272
01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:00.480
<v Speaker 12>Who had little cartoon Elmer Fudd shotguns, not automatic war

1273
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:04.199
<v Speaker 12>machines capable of ripping down one hundred children.

1274
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:05.800
<v Speaker 11>In a minute and half and will again.

1275
01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:10.199
<v Speaker 12>The whole point is to change, the whole point is

1276
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:15.360
<v Speaker 12>to progressively make better decisions so we do not repeat

1277
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.239
<v Speaker 12>the atrocities of our ancestors. If I was born at

1278
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:20.719
<v Speaker 12>anither time in American history, I would have been burned

1279
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:23.920
<v Speaker 12>at the steak or lobotomized. And we think the people

1280
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:25.480
<v Speaker 12>doing that are the.

1281
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:27.800
<v Speaker 11>Ones who know what should be going on today.

1282
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:30.800
<v Speaker 12>We don't want to listen to people who cured tuberculosis

1283
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:32.840
<v Speaker 12>or decided, hey, maybe we shouldn't.

1284
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:34.280
<v Speaker 11>Put lead in house paint.

1285
01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:38.760
<v Speaker 12>You are actively repeating the atrocities of your ancestors.

1286
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You're doing it on parbas we're live from We're in Nashville,

1287
01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>but I have I've been checking out. Yesterday was checking

1288
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>out areas around Chimney Rock and or Backcave and just

1289
01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>some of the other areas. And this is my first

1290
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:04.119
<v Speaker 1>time post Helene of really you know, going out and

1291
01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing some of this stuff, and it is it's amazing,

1292
01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:13.119
<v Speaker 1>not in a good way necessary. What is amazing in

1293
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a good way is what people have been able to

1294
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>do and band together. I went down where the Amish

1295
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:25.639
<v Speaker 1>were building houses. That's incredibly impressive, incredibly impressive what's going

1296
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>on there, and just you know, the stick to do

1297
01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you ross you ever see the videos of people's houses

1298
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:34.199
<v Speaker 1>that had like six feet of mud in there, Like

1299
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at that, I'm like, how do you ever?

1300
01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>How do you ever? How do you ever use that

1301
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>house again? And then the process that people have had

1302
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:47.599
<v Speaker 1>to go through, and yes, the political fights that have happened,

1303
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and who's doing this and who's doing that? And is

1304
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>money coming through? Are we gonna send tweets out that

1305
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:57.719
<v Speaker 1>misconstrue what's going on with Josh Stein? Shame on him

1306
01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:01.639
<v Speaker 1>for you know, oh, Donald Trump is rejected aid for that.

1307
01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to do this. You can be honest

1308
01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:08.199
<v Speaker 1>and say we had a there was a specific line

1309
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of aid that actually normally lasts for three months. That

1310
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>we extended for nine months and we only backed off

1311
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:17.399
<v Speaker 1>ten percent. But no, we have to sit here, and

1312
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we got to get in these political fights over everything.

1313
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>And I understand look several of you for whatever reason,

1314
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and I would encourage you to really rethink this position.

1315
01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Sent me emails going, I can't believe you're broadcasting in

1316
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what is you know, which is a blue area of

1317
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:36.079
<v Speaker 1>the state. And first of all, I'm broadcasting here from

1318
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a technological standpoint, Asheville is a city center. Asheville also

1319
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:44.760
<v Speaker 1>suffered the worst of it from a fatality standpoint. Okay,

1320
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's the size of the population here, but it's

1321
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>but all these places were affected. And regardless of what

1322
01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you think that you know that one community deserves it

1323
01:08:57.079 --> 01:09:00.680
<v Speaker 1>more than the other. I hate that, and I rejected.

1324
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I want everyone here, even people that you or I

1325
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>may politically disagree with, because I don't want that to

1326
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>cross my mind because the people I'm meeting, I don't

1327
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not caring. I'm not worried about their politics. I'm

1328
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>where are they decent people? Do they do they want

1329
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to help? And and and and what has happened? And

1330
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>hearing those stories that's why I'm here. And we can

1331
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>fight about stuff on the periphery some other time, but

1332
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously we're still doing the news and we're talking about

1333
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:33.479
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. And because there are certain times

1334
01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>where you got to reject that. And yeah, sometimes it

1335
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>may not make sense why somebody who who had to

1336
01:09:41.880 --> 01:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>sit here and and and deal with a tragedy like this,

1337
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and and and and see that the response that they

1338
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:51.399
<v Speaker 1>had from some politicians where they really didn't want to

1339
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>get into it, They really didn't want to talk whether

1340
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.399
<v Speaker 1>FEMA was operating in a way that was they should

1341
01:09:57.079 --> 01:09:59.239
<v Speaker 1>whether the amount of money we spent on that Swanna

1342
01:09:59.279 --> 01:10:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Noah station for showers and laundry that ended up just

1343
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>having seemed it seemed very wasteful, not because we shouldn't

1344
01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>have done it, but because we should have done it

1345
01:10:11.920 --> 01:10:15.079
<v Speaker 1>in a more efficient manner, so that more people could

1346
01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:17.279
<v Speaker 1>have been aided by what they were able to provide

1347
01:10:17.319 --> 01:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the ability to just have a hot shower and do laundry.

1348
01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And like, those are the those are the ways that

1349
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>we can we can analyze, we can figure out how

1350
01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to do it better. And the next time, if God

1351
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>forbids something like that were to happen again. We could

1352
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>be more efficient in the delivery of relief, aid and

1353
01:10:34.920 --> 01:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and and the way that we take care of each other,

1354
01:10:37.319 --> 01:10:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and whether that's through government or whether it's through the

1355
01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:43.159
<v Speaker 1>numerous charities that that exist out there. And there's so

1356
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:45.319
<v Speaker 1>many good ones. There's there's one out of Swan and Noah,

1357
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna speak with later this later this week, Samaritan's Purse.

1358
01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Who you want to talk about, Johnny on the spot.

1359
01:10:52.600 --> 01:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>For darn near anything that happens bad in the world,

1360
01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>they're there. I told you one of the one of

1361
01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that blew me away when I took my

1362
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>trip to Gualapagos and Ecuador and then to Guatapey in

1363
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Colombia was because of the Venezuelans that are coming over

1364
01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the border into Colombia. They have a huge swaths of them.

1365
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>If you go to Metazine and you go to like

1366
01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Loreles Las Sntento, which is like the big shops and

1367
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>things is it's a restaurant district and all of that,

1368
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:29.359
<v Speaker 1>there are Native Colombians and or excuse me, native Venezuelans, right,

1369
01:11:29.439 --> 01:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>so you think of it as like Native Americans within

1370
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>the US, who are a slightly different version of Venezuelans

1371
01:11:37.439 --> 01:11:40.399
<v Speaker 1>that are much less modern. They have the very colorful clothes,

1372
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, made without paka stuff, and they were so

1373
01:11:45.800 --> 01:11:48.079
<v Speaker 1>displaced by what was going on in Venezuela with that

1374
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the absolute lunatic running things there, that they come over

1375
01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to Colombia, which is not a rich country, and they're everywhere.

1376
01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>You see them sitting on the streets with their kids

1377
01:11:58.680 --> 01:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>all day, just hoping that you know, there's some there.

1378
01:12:01.119 --> 01:12:05.199
<v Speaker 1>And yet what do I see. I see several instances

1379
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>where Samaritan's Purse from North Carolina has set up these

1380
01:12:10.199 --> 01:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>aid stations down there, just trying to do a little

1381
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>good in the world. And I think that those organizations

1382
01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>are full of people who didn't sit here and go

1383
01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't like this county, but I like this. No,

1384
01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>they stepped up and they help. And you know what,

1385
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:28.399
<v Speaker 1>whether you want to approach that from a humanity standpoint

1386
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>or you want to approach that because it's part of

1387
01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:36.119
<v Speaker 1>your faith, however you get there, it's a net positive

1388
01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>in the world. And especially if you think that government

1389
01:12:40.199 --> 01:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>does too much, and the way that it used to

1390
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:46.319
<v Speaker 1>be is churches would be the charities and whatnot. I

1391
01:12:46.359 --> 01:12:50.279
<v Speaker 1>don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you at all,

1392
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:54.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not going to have that fight. Okay, there's

1393
01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>other stuff we can talk about. We can talk about

1394
01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the insanity of what, you know, what went on with that.

1395
01:13:02.600 --> 01:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to replay the audio from that young woman

1396
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>there who a ross said something when he got off

1397
01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the ear. It's like everything's wrong. Literally, everything she said

1398
01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>is wrong, and we'll slice that up. Let me grab

1399
01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>a call real quick here, Hey, Tony, what's going on.

1400
01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:23.439
<v Speaker 8>Well, I just got a little better story than You're

1401
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:25.359
<v Speaker 8>at a penny and get three quarters back.

1402
01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here's you didn't do it.

1403
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Here's ago traveling, Yes.

1404
01:13:31.039 --> 01:13:34.239
<v Speaker 8>Years ago traveling. We stopped at this big change store

1405
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:37.399
<v Speaker 8>and I won't mention the name, and I like bought

1406
01:13:37.479 --> 01:13:40.439
<v Speaker 8>suit and some clothes, so I'll just make up a number.

1407
01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:42.000
<v Speaker 8>Let's say it was two hundred and forty two dollars.

1408
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:43.760
<v Speaker 8>I don't know. I gave the lady three hundred. She

1409
01:13:43.880 --> 01:13:46.560
<v Speaker 8>rung it up. As my wife walked up. I said,

1410
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:48.800
<v Speaker 8>wait a minute, I can give you the exact change.

1411
01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:53.359
<v Speaker 8>She said, I can't do that. I said, sure about everything.

1412
01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:55.359
<v Speaker 8>I'll be fine. I'll just give you the exact change

1413
01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:57.640
<v Speaker 8>and you won't have to give you any change back. Right,

1414
01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:00.520
<v Speaker 8>In order to do it, she had to avoid whole

1415
01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:02.439
<v Speaker 8>order and start all over.

1416
01:14:03.079 --> 01:14:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Do you think, you know, here's the only thing I

1417
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>throw out. Do you think that maybe it's because the

1418
01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:09.479
<v Speaker 1>way she entered it they were expid so when they counted,

1419
01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>they were expecting to be three one hundred dollars bills?

1420
01:14:11.720 --> 01:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Or it wasn't about that.

1421
01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:15.359
<v Speaker 8>Right, I can't answer that. I don't know.

1422
01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I hold I hold out hope that that's what

1423
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it is, you know what I mean, I hold out

1424
01:14:20.680 --> 01:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>hope that it's that, And then I would totally understand it,

1425
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and I don't expect them to explain it to me.

1426
01:14:25.600 --> 01:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>But the problem is it probably wasn't that they just

1427
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:32.039
<v Speaker 1>it and and so to sit here and hear this

1428
01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:34.479
<v Speaker 1>woman rant about how what a bunch of idiots the

1429
01:14:34.479 --> 01:14:38.359
<v Speaker 1>founding fathers are. You're a math teacher, right, sir, yes, sir.

1430
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:40.279
<v Speaker 1>So I sit there and I look at these like,

1431
01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:44.399
<v Speaker 1>could you pass a nineteen ten Prairie middle school math test?

1432
01:14:44.680 --> 01:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And the answer is for a lot of people, not

1433
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a chance. Not a chance.

1434
01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:53.560
<v Speaker 8>I agree with you. I just story with you.

1435
01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, No, that's I appreciate it. My man, thank you

1436
01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:58.279
<v Speaker 1>very much for the call here this morning. Ross. You've

1437
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>seeing those tests like well, this is the from the

1438
01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Great Depression, here's the here's the English test, like yeah,

1439
01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:07.279
<v Speaker 1>in a coal mine, I would not I'm done.

1440
01:15:07.479 --> 01:15:09.520
<v Speaker 2>No, that's super hard and referred to like you know,

1441
01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:11.920
<v Speaker 2>letters from the Civil War before and you see like

1442
01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the penmanship and the words he used, they.

1443
01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Till the blah blah blah. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. Oh yeah,

1444
01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the penmansh. That's the other part of it too, this

1445
01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>big sweeping you know, almost like feather quillie kind of

1446
01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>thing right now, Yeah, they're crazy, insane. If you watch

1447
01:15:30.720 --> 01:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the ken Burn Civil War documentary, they intersplice him in

1448
01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>like throughout that whole thing, and you're like, nobody writes

1449
01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>like that anymore.

1450
01:15:37.880 --> 01:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, she's talking twelve years How twelve year olds have

1451
01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:42.680
<v Speaker 2>a better education than the founding fathers did and it's

1452
01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:45.359
<v Speaker 2>like those twelve year olds couldn't even read that cursive now.

1453
01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:49.119
<v Speaker 1>No, and that's not their fault, that's that part's not

1454
01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>their fault.

1455
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You see this all the time. People like to say

1456
01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:55.760
<v Speaker 2>people are dumb or they're they're less smart than we

1457
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>are today because they don't have the technology we have today,

1458
01:15:58.600 --> 01:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>which is such a bad argument. It's not true at all.

1459
01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>It's arguably the technology today is increasing some of the

1460
01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>level of not understanding these things.

1461
01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Correct, Correct, you know the people like they came before,

1462
01:16:10.560 --> 01:16:12.680
<v Speaker 2>they were super smart me they built the world that

1463
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:15.279
<v Speaker 2>we have now. Right, But just imagine it's the same thing,

1464
01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:16.960
<v Speaker 2>like she's looking back and saying, oh, well, they were

1465
01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:19.319
<v Speaker 2>dumb because they didn't know about electricity or they didn't

1466
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>have this. Imagine if like years five hundred years from now,

1467
01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>they've invented teleportation and they looked back at us today

1468
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:27.239
<v Speaker 2>and they say, look at those blithering idiots. They had

1469
01:16:27.239 --> 01:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>to drive around in cars and they had to you know,

1470
01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>loot the earth. And just because we don't have the

1471
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:36.800
<v Speaker 2>technology today doesn't mean we're dumb. I mean some of

1472
01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:37.119
<v Speaker 2>us are.

1473
01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, no, no, a thousand case in point by the way.

1474
01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>But also there were some really dumb people back when

1475
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>they were burning witches.

1476
01:16:44.600 --> 01:16:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Right.

1477
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>But also I bet this chick thinks they burned witches

1478
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>at Salem. I promise she does.

1479
01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, she definitely does, because you see that media

1480
01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:54.439
<v Speaker 2>they did not. Because that was one of the things

1481
01:16:54.479 --> 01:16:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I focused on when I was loading the audio this morning.

1482
01:16:57.079 --> 01:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>They didn't burn witches in Salem. They hung them, or

1483
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>they did what was called press them.

1484
01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>But they did that to a guy really famously. That

1485
01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>explain what this is, because pressing is I didn't even

1486
01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>know about this until I actually went to Salem. They

1487
01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:14.159
<v Speaker 1>just played basically, they crushed you to death slowly with

1488
01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of rocks. Yeah, and wait on your body

1489
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and that guy live for days now.

1490
01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:21.800
<v Speaker 2>The burning and the burning of which is if she

1491
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:23.439
<v Speaker 2>really wants to get into it, like we said, because

1492
01:17:23.439 --> 01:17:27.279
<v Speaker 2>she's wrong about everything everything. The last time it was known,

1493
01:17:27.319 --> 01:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it was like it's sixteen forty in Europe and you're

1494
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Founding father So the Founding Fathers burned witches.

1495
01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:35.920
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned Joan of arc and some Joan of Arcs

1496
01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:37.840
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned a few days ago James Madison was.

1497
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>What eighteen years old, eighteen or twenty. Yeah, I can't

1498
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>remember the two.

1499
01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that math doesn't math if you're talking sixteen forty,

1500
01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and I mean there's a reason they came from Europe

1501
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:53.560
<v Speaker 2>to get away from certain things, right like kings and

1502
01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:56.159
<v Speaker 2>ross and is fact facts so frustrating?

1503
01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is all right? One more time with his

1504
01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>audio because it's it's a whole vibe when.

1505
01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:04.279
<v Speaker 11>The Founding Fathers made this great country. I'm going to

1506
01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:06.159
<v Speaker 11>stop you right there. The Founding father's own slaves.

1507
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:08.399
<v Speaker 12>The Founding Fathers had less access to education than a

1508
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:11.319
<v Speaker 12>modern day twelve year old. They don't know anything. I

1509
01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:13.680
<v Speaker 12>don't care what they wanted. I don't care what they think.

1510
01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:17.359
<v Speaker 12>It's unconstitutional I should vote. So the Constitution was written

1511
01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:19.600
<v Speaker 12>by people who didn't think women should vote. The Constitution

1512
01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:21.239
<v Speaker 12>was written by people who had fifteen.

1513
01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:21.880
<v Speaker 11>Year old wives.

1514
01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I love how she's proving them wrong on that too, Sei.

1515
01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe these people didn't think I should be

1516
01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>able to vote? Do you believe it? Maybe they had

1517
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a point, you know, Yeah, anyway, I'm sorry, go ahead.

1518
01:18:37.119 --> 01:18:40.720
<v Speaker 12>Dying in childbirth frequently the Constitution was written by people

1519
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:44.800
<v Speaker 12>who had little cartoon Elmer Fudd shotguns, not automatic war

1520
01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:46.840
<v Speaker 12>machines capable of did.

1521
01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:49.159
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I love the part why she doesn't

1522
01:18:49.199 --> 01:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>realize that automatic weapons were already invented by the time

1523
01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>of the revolution. Look it up. You don't believe me,

1524
01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:01.239
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, I mean she won't. But and also the

1525
01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Elmer Fudd's the Shaka shatka technology is not that much different.

1526
01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why that's a knockdown. I guess because

1527
01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:11.560
<v Speaker 1>she wanted to do the weapons of war gun of

1528
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Rambo thing, but then she's gonna do the uh yeah.

1529
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:18.560
<v Speaker 1>The part where everyone's ar fifteen is literally the you know,

1530
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the fifty cow mounted in the back of the jeep,

1531
01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the Rambo's cutting everyone down in the uh the uh

1532
01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:27.319
<v Speaker 1>the Burma version of his movie, what are you talking about?

1533
01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:29.560
<v Speaker 11>Send down one hundred children in a minute? And how

1534
01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:33.319
<v Speaker 11>and will again. The whole point is to change.

1535
01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:35.800
<v Speaker 2>The whole point is to.

1536
01:19:35.640 --> 01:19:40.359
<v Speaker 12>Progressively make better decisions so we do not repeat the

1537
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.359
<v Speaker 12>atrocities of our ancestors. If I was born at anither

1538
01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:45.680
<v Speaker 12>time in American history, I would have been burned at

1539
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:47.399
<v Speaker 12>the steak or lobottomized.

1540
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>And we think, the first of all, you can't lobottomize

1541
01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:57.159
<v Speaker 1>you twice, ma'am. You came prelebottomized. They just they get

1542
01:19:57.199 --> 01:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that mice pick in there, and they'd be like, why

1543
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is there a cavity in here already? If I had to.

1544
01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:05.479
<v Speaker 12>Get people doing that are the ones who know what

1545
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:07.920
<v Speaker 12>should be going on today. We don't want to listen

1546
01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:11.119
<v Speaker 12>to people who cured tuberculosis or decided, hey, maybe we

1547
01:20:11.119 --> 01:20:12.479
<v Speaker 12>shouldn't put lead.

1548
01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:13.359
<v Speaker 11>In house paint.

1549
01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:17.800
<v Speaker 12>You are actively repeating the atrocities of your ancestors.

1550
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:19.840
<v Speaker 11>You're doing it on pardon.

1551
01:20:23.439 --> 01:20:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Anything else.

1552
01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:26.119
<v Speaker 11>I don't care about the founding fathers.

1553
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, it's clear you don't. But also it's

1554
01:20:31.800 --> 01:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>clear you have you know nothing about it. You don't understand.

1555
01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>And as Ross pointed out, the age there the libraries

1556
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and collections of not because that's how you had to

1557
01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:45.000
<v Speaker 1>do it. Now you just you can ask groc you

1558
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:48.039
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, and then that is what. But

1559
01:20:48.119 --> 01:20:51.279
<v Speaker 1>when they wanted to put together collections of knowledge during

1560
01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:53.399
<v Speaker 1>that era, that's the way that they did it. It's

1561
01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:55.720
<v Speaker 1>why when they started the Library of Congress, they were

1562
01:20:55.760 --> 01:21:02.079
<v Speaker 1>able to literally transfer Jefferson's library his personal library. And

1563
01:21:02.119 --> 01:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>if you go to Monticello, you go to George Washington's house,

1564
01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you go there, you can go in their libraries and

1565
01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you can see these ornate rooms with books, and some

1566
01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:16.079
<v Speaker 1>of them are recreations. I think Monticello they just have

1567
01:21:16.119 --> 01:21:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it represented. But like if you tour these you recognize

1568
01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that they had an immense thirst for knowledge. They wanted it,

1569
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and I don't care, whether it's to show off at

1570
01:21:26.399 --> 01:21:31.000
<v Speaker 1>parties or just to sound smarter than everybody. They wanted it,

1571
01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:34.760
<v Speaker 1>they collected it, they read it, and they know things.

1572
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And we're able to recall things that nowadays we don't

1573
01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:41.680
<v Speaker 1>commit to. And part of it is the technology. I remember,

1574
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and we've said this on there. I remember my best

1575
01:21:43.840 --> 01:21:47.399
<v Speaker 1>friend's phone number. Ross. Do you remember your best friend's

1576
01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>phone number from high school?

1577
01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I remember three of them? Yep, yep.

1578
01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember a person that you've met with in

1579
01:21:54.520 --> 01:21:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years?

1580
01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:55.479
<v Speaker 8>Is?

1581
01:21:55.520 --> 01:21:57.079
<v Speaker 1>What's my phone number? Do you know my phone number?

1582
01:21:57.159 --> 01:21:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolute?

1583
01:21:58.840 --> 01:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know mine?

1584
01:21:59.720 --> 01:21:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Right?

1585
01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Begins with a six or something?

1586
01:22:06.920 --> 01:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes it does, because I still have from I

1587
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:14.279
<v Speaker 1>look at that Ross is cooking with guess this morning man.

1588
01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Good for you, buddy. And then we get to this. So,

1589
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>do you guys know who Tyler Hero is? Harrow Hero?

1590
01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to pronounce it. So this dude

1591
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>who plays for the Miami Heat, pretty good player, was

1592
01:22:27.840 --> 01:22:31.680
<v Speaker 1>given an interview over the weekend, and look, if you

1593
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:34.920
<v Speaker 1>want to be I have questions about the moon landing

1594
01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>or flat earth or whatever. I think there's another NBA

1595
01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>guy who's all in on the flat Earth. I sure,

1596
01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:44.159
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it all, but let me just tell you,

1597
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>this isn't some guy wondering if the Kennedy. You know,

1598
01:22:46.439 --> 01:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>if we know the truth about Kennedy, his conspiracy goes

1599
01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot deeper. And I'm gonna explain it to you

1600
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>coming up, and I don't know who knows. Maybe you

1601
01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>can just get in on this action because I had

1602
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.479
<v Speaker 1>never heard this, and this dude's just doing it. He's

1603
01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>on a podcast talking about it for like two hours.

1604
01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into it next hang on a week long

1605
01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:13.199
<v Speaker 1>broadcast up here in western North Carolina, and as the

1606
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:16.279
<v Speaker 1>week unfolds, we're going to be diving into a cast

1607
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of characters and guests and various folks just from western

1608
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina talking about what's going on, what recovery has

1609
01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:27.760
<v Speaker 1>been like. Because like we've seen the pictures, we've sliced

1610
01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and diced the politics, we probably know somebody who was

1611
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>personally impacted. If we've spent more than five minutes living

1612
01:23:34.680 --> 01:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>in the state of North Carolina and made friends over

1613
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the years, how many of you have where you go,

1614
01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:43.039
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not the mountains, maybe it's on the coast.

1615
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:46.279
<v Speaker 1>You have a whole separate set of people who are

1616
01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:50.159
<v Speaker 1>local business owners, people who maybe live full time in

1617
01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:52.159
<v Speaker 1>these areas that you've gotten to know over the years

1618
01:23:52.199 --> 01:23:55.199
<v Speaker 1>because your family tradition is going to Serf City, or

1619
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to Banner Elk or to Ash County, which I love

1620
01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:02.479
<v Speaker 1>going back up in Ash County because you can get

1621
01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>away from some people, drive past Lancing and then watch

1622
01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>your cell signal go away and get excited about that.

1623
01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:13.319
<v Speaker 1>But wherever that is, you developed these relationships and then

1624
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>knowing what happened, whether it is one of the hurricanes

1625
01:24:17.800 --> 01:24:21.079
<v Speaker 1>that hit the coast. Uh ros, you remember what happened

1626
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>to doctor Campbell's excuse me you and doctor Campbell's time

1627
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>share boom right? You saw what happened up there with

1628
01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:30.159
<v Speaker 1>where the crown cap of his beach house came out

1629
01:24:30.199 --> 01:24:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and then just mold city man.

1630
01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:34.800
<v Speaker 2>We had to do so many repairs. Yeah, yeah, it

1631
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.239
<v Speaker 2>was crazy. It was like his wall turned green. It

1632
01:24:37.399 --> 01:24:40.479
<v Speaker 2>was our wall did turn green. I'm sorry, you're thank

1633
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:41.640
<v Speaker 2>thank you whatever.

1634
01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe I messed that up. And uh, but

1635
01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>so when it when it comes to what happened to

1636
01:24:48.520 --> 01:24:51.720
<v Speaker 1>West North Carolina, that's what we know. But to see

1637
01:24:51.760 --> 01:24:54.399
<v Speaker 1>it and to understand it, that's uh that's why we're

1638
01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>here doing what we're doing, okay, and uh, we'll we'll

1639
01:24:57.880 --> 01:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll bring you those stories. And I like the positive

1640
01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>side of it, dude. The upbeat nature of people who

1641
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:06.840
<v Speaker 1>basically had to take a year off, who's whose livelihoods

1642
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:10.119
<v Speaker 1>we were threatened, and their willingness and and and wanting

1643
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to get back to it and really the job that

1644
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. It's really inspiring, man, because it's very easy

1645
01:25:15.399 --> 01:25:17.439
<v Speaker 1>to destroy your hands and be like I'm done, and

1646
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>some people did have to do that, But to go

1647
01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:23.880
<v Speaker 1>through the slog and come out the other side, I

1648
01:25:23.880 --> 01:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>don't care whether it's it's uh, that story is an

1649
01:25:26.840 --> 01:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>inspirational story within within human nature, whether it's a hurricane,

1650
01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>it's personal troubles within your life. And that's that's what

1651
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>we're here for, okay, and also to get educated on

1652
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>how the fauniding fathers were dumb. She's also I'm just

1653
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this ross. That woman is probably one of

1654
01:25:44.920 --> 01:25:47.479
<v Speaker 1>these people who reads that Anne Frank article and goes

1655
01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:50.239
<v Speaker 1>that makes a lot of sense for those who don't know,

1656
01:25:52.720 --> 01:26:01.600
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't know. Apparently an Frank super gay or bisexual. Yeah,

1657
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I know that's offensive to say out loud like it

1658
01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>makes me uncomfortable to say it, but to read the

1659
01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:11.640
<v Speaker 1>article laying this out over the weekend, stop it. This

1660
01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is this is the same long connected chain of everyone

1661
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:20.239
<v Speaker 1>in history has either has autism or was trans right.

1662
01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>We keep seeing the stories like that we had one

1663
01:26:22.880 --> 01:26:27.239
<v Speaker 1>not long ago. But to take a remember she was

1664
01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:34.840
<v Speaker 1>thirteen as she's writing that eventually found eventually taken to uh,

1665
01:26:34.960 --> 01:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Burke and Belsen where she dies at the

1666
01:26:38.600 --> 01:26:44.279
<v Speaker 1>age of fifteen. But basically, her life as she knew

1667
01:26:44.279 --> 01:26:47.760
<v Speaker 1>it stopped when she was about twelve, right when the

1668
01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>family went into hiding. And then she you know, she

1669
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.880
<v Speaker 1>chronicles what's going on, and it creates this very unique

1670
01:26:55.000 --> 01:26:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and interesting and sad but also in kind of in

1671
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:06.079
<v Speaker 1>firing book of her thoughts and her observations, and yes,

1672
01:27:06.239 --> 01:27:09.119
<v Speaker 1>some of her thoughts and observations that they glom onto

1673
01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:13.239
<v Speaker 1>are the fact that here she is maturing into a woman,

1674
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:16.319
<v Speaker 1>or on the cusp of doing that, right, making that transition.

1675
01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>And like any thirteen year old, you you don't know

1676
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:24.479
<v Speaker 1>what you don't know, and you start, you ask questions,

1677
01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:29.039
<v Speaker 1>you wonder about things. You so for her to openly

1678
01:27:29.199 --> 01:27:33.880
<v Speaker 1>muse what it must be like to kiss somebody, whether

1679
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a girl or a guy or any of the rest.

1680
01:27:36.279 --> 01:27:39.399
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't have much of a social life. You realize that, right,

1681
01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and yet for you to then propagandize it and write

1682
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>this article, it's gross. It's gross. No one should be

1683
01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:53.399
<v Speaker 1>concerning themselves with Anne Frank's sexuality.

1684
01:27:53.479 --> 01:27:55.279
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird. I saw this a few years ago.

1685
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:56.520
<v Speaker 2>It was a few years but.

1686
01:27:56.680 --> 01:27:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's not the first bite at this.

1687
01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it was. I don't remember what the publisher

1688
01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:02.479
<v Speaker 2>was or where it came from, but it was an

1689
01:28:02.600 --> 01:28:04.600
<v Speaker 2>argument they were trying to make. I think it was

1690
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:06.279
<v Speaker 2>during Pride month and they were like, oh, well, you

1691
01:28:06.319 --> 01:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>know she was super gay, and uh, yeah, there. I guess.

1692
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:12.840
<v Speaker 2>There's two versions of Anne Frank's diary that her father

1693
01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:15.680
<v Speaker 2>otto edited, and I think in the version that we

1694
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:18.039
<v Speaker 2>read that you and I read back in the nineties,

1695
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:20.359
<v Speaker 2>right when we were in school, that read that was

1696
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:22.199
<v Speaker 2>her picture on the front. Yeah, that was that was

1697
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the edited version, I believe. And they try to point

1698
01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:27.199
<v Speaker 2>this out correct. Yeah, so there's two versions and they're

1699
01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:30.600
<v Speaker 2>saying the one the unedited. They're like, oh, she wrote

1700
01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:31.560
<v Speaker 2>all this sexual stuff.

1701
01:28:31.600 --> 01:28:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, she didn't, she did not. She wrote like,

1702
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:36.199
<v Speaker 1>there's two things that they always one of it was

1703
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>what it's like to kiss a girl. And she's she's

1704
01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:44.600
<v Speaker 1>writing this stuff and she can't conceptualize it because there's

1705
01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:48.199
<v Speaker 1>no other girl to kiss, and because.

1706
01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:50.439
<v Speaker 2>She she's hiding in an attic from people that a dead.

1707
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:53.920
<v Speaker 1>So imagine them thoughts that go through you and I

1708
01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:57.000
<v Speaker 1>had when we were, you know, becoming the men and

1709
01:28:57.079 --> 01:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>women that we are, right and you're discovering you're like,

1710
01:29:00.039 --> 01:29:03.399
<v Speaker 1>you get feelings because you're not eight anymore, and you're

1711
01:29:03.439 --> 01:29:07.399
<v Speaker 1>just trying to make sense of that in a normal environment. Right,

1712
01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:10.239
<v Speaker 1>in a normal environment as a kid, you don't know

1713
01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:14.319
<v Speaker 1>what the heck's going on. Man, Now couple it with

1714
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:17.319
<v Speaker 1>what you're in hiding with your family and if you

1715
01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:21.399
<v Speaker 1>make any noise, the Nazis will find you. And trying

1716
01:29:21.399 --> 01:29:27.199
<v Speaker 1>to process all of that. Now, I take you to

1717
01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>this tyler hero. I know there's a bit of a

1718
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:35.199
<v Speaker 1>running theme this morning. Well it's all just coming together, Okay.

1719
01:29:37.159 --> 01:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So I saw a little snippet of this interview. So

1720
01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy is an NBA player. He plays for plays

1721
01:29:44.800 --> 01:29:52.479
<v Speaker 1>for the Miami Heat and pretty good player. Pretty good player.

1722
01:29:53.000 --> 01:29:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember all of what his college stats where

1723
01:29:55.239 --> 01:30:00.319
<v Speaker 1>he played for Kentucky. Yeah, so he averaged fourteen points,

1724
01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>four and a half rebounds at a very good basketball school.

1725
01:30:02.920 --> 01:30:07.359
<v Speaker 1>So that's great. Maybe, if you're the NBA, maybe you

1726
01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>tell him not to do the podcast anymore. I don't know.

1727
01:30:11.239 --> 01:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>So Tyler Hero claims he doesn't believe in history. Let

1728
01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:22.319
<v Speaker 1>me say that again. Tyler Hero says he doesn't believe

1729
01:30:22.319 --> 01:30:27.680
<v Speaker 1>in history. Hero said he doesn't believe in history before

1730
01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:31.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifty, including some events after such as the moon

1731
01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:37.359
<v Speaker 1>landing or Wilt Chamberlain's hundred point game. Which that's the

1732
01:30:37.399 --> 01:30:39.439
<v Speaker 1>thing to say if you play in the NBA, right,

1733
01:30:39.520 --> 01:30:41.199
<v Speaker 1>isn't that? How do we know?

1734
01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:43.279
<v Speaker 4>Right? So?

1735
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Heroes twenty five was live streaming with Aiden Ross and

1736
01:30:47.640 --> 01:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Aiden aid Ross is an interesting cat. I'll let you

1737
01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>can have judgment not but it's it's not a deep

1738
01:30:55.840 --> 01:31:01.920
<v Speaker 1>dive philosophical show. Okay, regardless, I'm not. This is not Ross.

1739
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Ross asked the question and seemed equally as amazed at

1740
01:31:04.640 --> 01:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the answer he was getting. Ross asked Harro if he

1741
01:31:07.960 --> 01:31:10.039
<v Speaker 1>thought when he said I didn't believe in history, and this

1742
01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is a good response. He goes, well, do you believe

1743
01:31:11.880 --> 01:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Chamberlain when playing for the I guess it was Philadelphia

1744
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Warriors at the time in nineteen sixty two, scored one

1745
01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:24.119
<v Speaker 1>hundred points. He said, yeah, but do you think history

1746
01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is a real thing? And Ross replied yeah, and he goes, well,

1747
01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe in history, and then he says no,

1748
01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm dead a which is I guess the way that

1749
01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you say no, cap now anyway, and he went on

1750
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:44.159
<v Speaker 1>to it and again, you should you have a healthy

1751
01:31:44.520 --> 01:31:50.239
<v Speaker 1>skepticism for historical events. Absolutely, And it's not to say, look,

1752
01:31:50.279 --> 01:31:53.960
<v Speaker 1>there's lots of things that we find out where either

1753
01:31:54.039 --> 01:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of it's through you know, people manipulating

1754
01:31:57.000 --> 01:32:01.359
<v Speaker 1>things for whatever reason. But like to just flat out

1755
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:02.800
<v Speaker 1>say you don't believe in history?

1756
01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Does he mean it? Like in regards the simulation theory,

1757
01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:07.800
<v Speaker 2>because that's like part of it. Sometimes I read I

1758
01:32:07.840 --> 01:32:10.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't see that, And just to explain that, like imagine

1759
01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>like Neo in the matrix, right, so he's in the matrix.

1760
01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:15.920
<v Speaker 2>It's all a simulation. He's living in the nineties. The

1761
01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:19.319
<v Speaker 2>computers making the simulation could just write up everything that

1762
01:32:19.359 --> 01:32:21.680
<v Speaker 2>happened before the nineties, and you'd have no idea because

1763
01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you're in the simulation.

1764
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.039
<v Speaker 1>No, So they kept drilling down him. He's like, like,

1765
01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>he goes, let me give you an example. How do

1766
01:32:28.039 --> 01:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>we know Christopher Columbus discovered the Americans? Now he's not

1767
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:36.239
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean a nuance of Well, technically he didn't lay

1768
01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, he didn't step on to the North American

1769
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:44.439
<v Speaker 1>contiguous US continent right where Columbus ended up documenting during

1770
01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:48.119
<v Speaker 1>that initial you know is the Caribbean. Okay, but that's

1771
01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:51.359
<v Speaker 1>not what he means. He's not slicing and nice in

1772
01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:54.399
<v Speaker 1>whether the isle of Hispaniola counts is North America, which

1773
01:32:54.479 --> 01:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>technically does. But he's gone, like, how do we know

1774
01:32:57.760 --> 01:33:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Columbus came over? How do we know he was real?

1775
01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:03.640
<v Speaker 1>How do you know anything was real? Ross? What year

1776
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:04.319
<v Speaker 1>was your mom born?

1777
01:33:05.159 --> 01:33:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen forty eight?

1778
01:33:06.560 --> 01:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Is your mom real? She is? Have you asked her?

1779
01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure she's real.

1780
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't, tyler, hero don't think so. And that grandma

1781
01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and grandpa you had grandparents?

1782
01:33:18.720 --> 01:33:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Right?

1783
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Or did you? Or did I did? I don't know

1784
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:27.159
<v Speaker 1>that card with five dollars in it? Do you really

1785
01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:31.479
<v Speaker 1>know where it came from? So that's a that's a

1786
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:33.159
<v Speaker 1>heck of a conspiracy theory. Man.

1787
01:33:33.279 --> 01:33:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I still have those bonds man.

1788
01:33:35.399 --> 01:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh really yep, I mean you think you do? Right, Yeah,

1789
01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point all right. Anyway, let's get rased

1790
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:44.439
<v Speaker 1>agic in here with this special new super cool music,

1791
01:33:45.439 --> 01:33:48.720
<v Speaker 1>which is actually music from the nineties, so from the nineties.

1792
01:33:48.880 --> 01:33:51.159
<v Speaker 1>We take me BA Tyler Hero does believe in that.

1793
01:33:51.279 --> 01:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>So some NBA players said, he doesn't believe in history,

1794
01:33:55.319 --> 01:33:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh anything before nineteen fifty, doesn't.

1795
01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:00.199
<v Speaker 4>Believe it happened, World War two?

1796
01:34:00.840 --> 01:34:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. Yeah, interesting, that's that's the whole thing.

1797
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:07.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sometimes we want to forget history, right.

1798
01:34:08.439 --> 01:34:11.800
<v Speaker 1>That's different. That's different. That is different to question history.

1799
01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>And the narrative that we have is that's great. You

1800
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>should do that, you know, because you know what did

1801
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:16.119
<v Speaker 1>happen though?

1802
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:19.079
<v Speaker 2>What did the Weather channel in nineteen ninety two? In

1803
01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:19.439
<v Speaker 2>the music?

1804
01:34:19.960 --> 01:34:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, post nineteen fifty he believes in that, so right,

1805
01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that didn't make history.

1806
01:34:24.760 --> 01:34:27.039
<v Speaker 4>What did I get here? It's ninety six. I've been

1807
01:34:27.039 --> 01:34:28.760
<v Speaker 4>here since ninety six, twenty nine years.

1808
01:34:29.359 --> 01:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Then you're real time.

1809
01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:31.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I am real.

1810
01:34:31.600 --> 01:34:35.319
<v Speaker 1>It's totally Unfortunately, Ross's mom born before nineteen fifty.

1811
01:34:35.439 --> 01:34:40.239
<v Speaker 4>Not real, so not real, not really, It's too bad. Sorry, Ross, Yeah, sorry.

1812
01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Many what's going on is rain rather than way too

1813
01:34:43.439 --> 01:34:43.880
<v Speaker 1>much rain.

1814
01:34:43.960 --> 01:34:47.279
<v Speaker 10>Stop it, yeah, way too much two to five plus

1815
01:34:47.319 --> 01:34:50.399
<v Speaker 10>inches basically the line from Rocky Mount toward Greenville and

1816
01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:53.680
<v Speaker 10>even closer in and west of Goldsborough three point four

1817
01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:56.359
<v Speaker 10>five at four olks. These are twenty four hours totals

1818
01:34:56.720 --> 01:34:59.279
<v Speaker 10>either side of an inch from the Triad to the Triangle.

1819
01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:01.560
<v Speaker 10>But a flood watch staying place in tonight. There could

1820
01:35:01.640 --> 01:35:04.800
<v Speaker 10>be in spots an additional two to five inches of rain,

1821
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:08.000
<v Speaker 10>So be prepared, especially if it comes overnight tonight, and

1822
01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:10.640
<v Speaker 10>have a plan. Just be ready a little bit different

1823
01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:14.000
<v Speaker 10>than severe thunderstorm warnings. During flooding, obviously you want to

1824
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.880
<v Speaker 10>seek higher ground. It's going to be warm and humid today,

1825
01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:19.359
<v Speaker 10>mid upper eighties, close to ninety degrees in some areas,

1826
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:22.399
<v Speaker 10>and then tomorrow we'll have rain chances, but they'll still

1827
01:35:22.439 --> 01:35:26.199
<v Speaker 10>be up there in the afternoon hours, low nineties. Will

1828
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:28.119
<v Speaker 10>feel close to one hundred for the Triangle. Try it

1829
01:35:28.159 --> 01:35:31.279
<v Speaker 10>maybe in the upper eighties and then Wednesdays still a

1830
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:33.800
<v Speaker 10>fair rain chance, but it's going to be hot, humid

1831
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:35.840
<v Speaker 10>for the rest of the week. In the Triangle maybe

1832
01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:38.000
<v Speaker 10>ninety to ninety five with eat in Dissy's close to

1833
01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:40.279
<v Speaker 10>one hundred. Quite that hot for the triad, but pretty

1834
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:43.600
<v Speaker 10>close to ninety degrees so hot humid. Big downpours, Yeah,

1835
01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:47.399
<v Speaker 10>big downpours probably this afternoon, tonight, maybe tomorrow. So additional

1836
01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:49.399
<v Speaker 10>flooding possible if not likely.

1837
01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, glad I went to the mountains for the week.

1838
01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:53.279
<v Speaker 4>Holy, yeah it is.

1839
01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:57.319
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk tomorrow, sir, Have a good one. Jeff Bellinger's

1840
01:35:57.359 --> 01:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>next hanging on, Jeff, what's happening man? Well case.

1841
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:05.199
<v Speaker 13>Worries over the escalating conflict between Israel and Dran send

1842
01:36:05.199 --> 01:36:08.560
<v Speaker 13>stock prices lower on Friday, but the future suggests the

1843
01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:11.199
<v Speaker 13>market's going to start out higher. This morning, The Dow

1844
01:36:11.319 --> 01:36:14.000
<v Speaker 13>futures are up two hundred and sixty nine points. This

1845
01:36:14.199 --> 01:36:17.760
<v Speaker 13>report is sponsored by Total Wine and More. Oil prices

1846
01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:21.560
<v Speaker 13>jumped Friday, they remain higher on concerns that conflict in

1847
01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:25.079
<v Speaker 13>the Middle East could disrupt supplies. Music lovers will get

1848
01:36:25.119 --> 01:36:27.560
<v Speaker 13>a bit of a break this summer. Prices for concert

1849
01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:30.760
<v Speaker 13>tickets have declined by the most and more than a decade.

1850
01:36:31.000 --> 01:36:34.000
<v Speaker 13>Poll Star data indicate the average price to attend one

1851
01:36:34.039 --> 01:36:36.880
<v Speaker 13>of the world's top one hundred tours is down about

1852
01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:39.920
<v Speaker 13>six percent from last year to one hundred twenty dollars.

1853
01:36:40.199 --> 01:36:43.520
<v Speaker 13>That is still about seventy percent higher than in twenty ten.

1854
01:36:43.960 --> 01:36:47.600
<v Speaker 13>Another retailer is struggling. At Home Groups filed for Chapter

1855
01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:51.439
<v Speaker 13>eleven bankruptcy. The company's lenders will take over the business.

1856
01:36:51.640 --> 01:36:54.079
<v Speaker 13>At Home has more than two hundred and fifty stores

1857
01:36:54.119 --> 01:36:57.680
<v Speaker 13>across the country. They sell everything from patio furniture to

1858
01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:01.159
<v Speaker 13>picture frames and rugs. Tariff a lot of people worried.

1859
01:37:01.199 --> 01:37:04.920
<v Speaker 13>Bank Creag reports nearly two thirds of American Americans fear

1860
01:37:04.920 --> 01:37:07.399
<v Speaker 13>of the levies on foreign made goods will have a

1861
01:37:07.439 --> 01:37:11.359
<v Speaker 13>negative impact on their personal finances. But some of President

1862
01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:15.199
<v Speaker 13>Trump's economic proposals, such as eliminating the tax on Social

1863
01:37:15.199 --> 01:37:18.880
<v Speaker 13>Security benefits and capping credit card interest rates, are viewed

1864
01:37:19.039 --> 01:37:22.640
<v Speaker 13>more favorably. And Casey, it was a big opening weekend

1865
01:37:22.720 --> 01:37:26.000
<v Speaker 13>for How to Train Your Dragon. The DreamWorks film debuted

1866
01:37:26.039 --> 01:37:29.319
<v Speaker 13>in first place in movie theater box offices, with studio

1867
01:37:29.439 --> 01:37:33.239
<v Speaker 13>estimates putting ticket sales at nearly eighty four million dollars.

1868
01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Casey, oh, I missed it. Oh well, all right, thank

1869
01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you much, Jeff appreciate it. Okay, all right, yeah, I

1870
01:37:39.760 --> 01:37:44.079
<v Speaker 1>haven't been really my type of movie there, so all right,

1871
01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:46.800
<v Speaker 1>let's see, all right, just a couple of quick little

1872
01:37:46.800 --> 01:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>things for make sure I have any one of the phones.

1873
01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I do not? Um, Yeah, here we go Ross. Did

1874
01:37:53.840 --> 01:37:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you see I know you try to avoid. Did you

1875
01:37:55.840 --> 01:37:59.920
<v Speaker 1>see the Western moonbats from like Europe in the US

1876
01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:05.920
<v Speaker 1>who went on the march to Gaza and how that ended? Yeah,

1877
01:38:06.199 --> 01:38:08.319
<v Speaker 1>what'd you think of that? So for those who don't know,

1878
01:38:08.880 --> 01:38:11.159
<v Speaker 1>they had like their band of like, oh, we're gonna

1879
01:38:11.159 --> 01:38:13.000
<v Speaker 1>march to Gaza, it's gonna be great. But they tried

1880
01:38:13.039 --> 01:38:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to march through Egypt and I don't know if you

1881
01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:21.880
<v Speaker 1>know this, there's a giant security wall between Egypt and

1882
01:38:22.479 --> 01:38:25.079
<v Speaker 1>the West Bank or excuse me, the Gaza.

1883
01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, there's a reason why the the you know,

1884
01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>those in Gaza can't go to Egypt because Egypt doesn't

1885
01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:31.520
<v Speaker 2>let them in.

1886
01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, now, to be fair, no Muslim country lets them in,

1887
01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:40.479
<v Speaker 1>with the exception of some that did resettle in Syria

1888
01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:43.119
<v Speaker 1>at one time. Now none of them are allowed, but

1889
01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Egypt really doesn't let him. So these Egyptians are watching

1890
01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:50.800
<v Speaker 1>these the White Savior complex, you know Greta because a

1891
01:38:50.840 --> 01:38:52.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of them were people were on the boat with Greta.

1892
01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know this, and they're marching

1893
01:38:56.960 --> 01:38:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and then they were gonna tear down the gate and

1894
01:38:59.159 --> 01:39:03.079
<v Speaker 1>march into Gaza, and the Egyptians beat the crap out

1895
01:39:03.119 --> 01:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of them. I'm not and I'm not exaggerating. I know

1896
01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you saw the video of the woman who said she

1897
01:39:08.680 --> 01:39:10.560
<v Speaker 1>was being blackmailed, but she obviously doesn't know what that

1898
01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:13.600
<v Speaker 1>word means and her face is all puffy because they

1899
01:39:13.680 --> 01:39:16.800
<v Speaker 1>beat the crap and then deported them right.

1900
01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:18.720
<v Speaker 2>They were beating and they were suffering from heatstroke.

1901
01:39:19.399 --> 01:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh. And then they'd like, and you're getting deported,

1902
01:39:22.119 --> 01:39:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and they deported them out of Egypt because uh, Egypt,

1903
