Speaker 1: Get things rolling on this fine morning. Well that's nice.
Speaker 1: It just literally dumped me out of my next gen again. Dude, Ross,
Speaker 1: we gotta we got a bug in the system, or
Speaker 1: they have just so fundamentally changed, or are credentialing works Now.
Speaker 1: I got the hiccups all this because I just wanted.
Speaker 2: To, uh, you know, are racist?
Speaker 1: Throw that out the new drop, which I'm very excited about.
Speaker 1: Ross says something not racist, say something you know, like
Speaker 1: like you normally do, say something really not racist. But
Speaker 1: since we have this job.
Speaker 3: I believe everybody is created equal and we you know
Speaker 3: you have the is that bad?
Speaker 2: Are racist?
Speaker 3: I don't judge people by the color of the skin.
Speaker 2: But the content are racist?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: What dude, I never knew any of this stuff.
Speaker 3: I would like to believe everybody has incredible potential inside them.
Speaker 3: It just takes you know, they have to find it.
Speaker 3: They have to.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, hold on for I play this.
Speaker 3: Not everybody, I mean, depending on you know what it is,
Speaker 3: everybody has that one thing. I didn't say it was
Speaker 3: a great thing.
Speaker 2: Are racist?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I see what you did there. Okay, so
Speaker 1: somebody has a skill, but not everybody's skills are useful.
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, all right, you are racist.
Speaker 1: All right, I think we're gonna have to bully you now. Sorry, buddy,
Speaker 1: that's those are the rules, and you would learn these
Speaker 1: rules if you were fortunate enough to get your hands
Speaker 1: on the hot new video game dust Born. Now we
Speaker 1: mentioned this well, Ross brought it to my attention literally
Speaker 1: with like thirty minutes to go in the show yesterday,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't have a chance to go down
Speaker 1: the same rabbit hole that he did. But just on
Speaker 1: the surface, the idea that the governments of the United States,
Speaker 1: the European Union, and specific I think Norway and the
Speaker 1: UK individual government. So I was looking at a list
Speaker 1: decided that, you know, rather than going because you know,
Speaker 1: one of the ways that a lot of indie games
Speaker 1: are developed nowadays is what's known as crowdfunding. Right, obviously
Speaker 1: you're aware of how that works, you know, for people
Speaker 1: to need surgery or have a weird gadget, they invented
Speaker 1: a lot of video games do then, although there's a
Speaker 1: lot of instances where people got a lot of money
Speaker 1: and there's no video game in this instance, they decided to,
Speaker 1: I guess, forego that. So your your government read that
Speaker 1: as your your tax dollars, my tax dollars, along with
Speaker 1: several other government entities, have created one of the most
Speaker 1: thoroughly designed individual pieces of propaganda I've seen in some time.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: The premise of this game is very simple, except it's
Speaker 1: not where bas you're running around, You are a You're
Speaker 1: very woke, and you keep finding yourselves in these situations
Speaker 1: where you can go ahead and lecture people and bully people.
Speaker 1: And by bullying, I'm using the word that they use
Speaker 1: in the game, that is a it is a power.
Speaker 1: So like your powers are canceling, your powers are bullying.
Speaker 3: It's like a skill for you and locking in any
Speaker 3: other game.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So instead of getting some you know,
Speaker 1: now you're imbued with poison magic.
Speaker 3: I got double jump. Yes you know.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's good. All right, yeah, take it back
Speaker 1: to the uh, let's take it back to the purest
Speaker 1: your Big Mario or your raccoon Mario. Right, So these
Speaker 1: are your skills. These are the things that you learn
Speaker 1: to do, and then you got to go through the
Speaker 1: game doing them. Except the situations are absolutely insane. And
Speaker 1: this is the stuff that I couldn't read yesterday. Try
Speaker 1: to get a chance to because again I was in
Speaker 1: the middle of doing the show. At the end of
Speaker 1: the game, I was spoiler alert. By the way, at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, they they they revealed to
Speaker 1: you what your what your weapon was. All right, so
Speaker 1: you got the skill tree with the powers of canceling
Speaker 1: and uh, well canceling and let's see here, so you
Speaker 1: look at the little the little cheat sheet that Russ
Speaker 1: sent me of going ahead and canceling, of bullying, what
Speaker 1: was there was one more where where? Now? Oh hold on,
Speaker 1: it's probably right here. Yeah. And normalizing that's the one
Speaker 1: that's crazy. All right. So literally normalizing, which is one
Speaker 1: of your skill tree powers, says that you will give
Speaker 1: Normalize gives us the ability to make people think certain
Speaker 1: behaviors or feelings are normal. Now, let me share with
Speaker 1: you some of these situations that are in this game.
Speaker 1: All right, Ross, you're gonna be the You're gonna be
Speaker 1: the person. I'm gonna give you the situation. You tell
Speaker 1: me how you would handle it, and we'll see if
Speaker 1: you would be any good at this game. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Uh scenario number one. Uh, and I'm reading from literally
Speaker 1: a breakdown here. Uh. These are kind of genaro I
Speaker 1: didn't play the game? All right. A lone man in
Speaker 1: a trailer park who seems to only care about his tomatoes, uh,
Speaker 1: says during the game that the government is doing mass surveillance.
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's a good point, but overall, leave
Speaker 3: them alone.
Speaker 1: Race What Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, buddy, super super racist.
Speaker 1: Let's see here?
Speaker 5: Do you do?
Speaker 1: Do you do?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 1: All? Right? Fred? Fred is invited to your home. I
Speaker 1: don't know why you invented Fred. When he's in your home,
Speaker 1: he literally does everything you say, except while he's in
Speaker 1: your home what you share with your mother. He inadvertently
Speaker 1: discovers that your mother is growing opium? So what is
Speaker 1: what does Fred do?
Speaker 6: He?
Speaker 1: Wait, hold hold on, hold on, mister opium kid. So Fred,
Speaker 1: when he finds out that your mom is running a
Speaker 1: massive growing operation for opium in the house, calls the
Speaker 1: police and helps them find the opium farm. But unfortunately
Speaker 1: you realized he had found it. So you and your
Speaker 1: mom torch your own opium farm in house and then disappear.
Speaker 1: All right, Ross, what do you think of Fred's actions?
Speaker 1: And what would you do? I'm so confused? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why in the basement and Fred comes over, calls the police,
Speaker 3: and we we respond by burning our own home down
Speaker 3: with feen.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, but that doesn't but we still have
Speaker 1: to know what to do with Fred. Here were Fred's actions. Okay,
Speaker 1: reportedly it's probably Fred's neighborhood too. He probably doesn't want
Speaker 1: an opium den in his neighborhood. Didn't you have an
Speaker 1: opium den next to your mom's house?
Speaker 3: There was a crackhouse, yes, and it burned out.
Speaker 1: Now we know where the opium.
Speaker 3: We're coming out trying to get into my mom's property.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a prostitute infestation under property, but where'd
Speaker 1: they get the opium? Now we know? So anyway, did
Speaker 1: Fred do anything wrong?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 1: I mean, does it fall under mind your own business?
Speaker 1: I think you probably yeah, probably would, probably would. Okay,
Speaker 1: so all right, Well unfortunately for me, but fortunately for
Speaker 1: the game. I guess you're not a racist, So good
Speaker 1: for you because your mom and you are persons of
Speaker 1: color and Fred is a white dude.
Speaker 3: Oh you didn't say that part changes Well.
Speaker 1: You just said it didn't matter during your early age.
Speaker 1: So listen, I know I'm not gonna none of my business. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, none of my business? All right, So Ross
Speaker 1: is anti Fred. So the crux of the whole game
Speaker 1: is there are situations where somebody is not now now,
Speaker 1: Fred obviously took some action, but there's other ones, like
Speaker 1: where they go into a diner and they're talking to
Speaker 1: are they supposed to be police officers? I think those
Speaker 1: are police officers. And and this is the exchange that
Speaker 1: takes place. Oh, you're with the black kid dress is
Speaker 1: like a writer, does he know anything? It literally shows
Speaker 1: a graphic of her character and it says triggering with
Speaker 1: like a little you know, a little spinning wheel.
Speaker 3: It's like a it's like a button prompt. It says
Speaker 3: push X to trigger. Yeah, so you're being triggered.
Speaker 1: You're being triggered because they referred to I guess one
Speaker 1: of your relatives is the black kids. The black kid
Speaker 1: Dress is like a writer, does he know anything?
Speaker 2: You are racist?
Speaker 1: All right? And then that's you just playing your weapon,
Speaker 1: which you just want.
Speaker 3: An absolute garbage game. And this is the problem you
Speaker 3: said yesterday, he said, if somebody were to buy you this,
Speaker 3: would you stream it? First off? No stream this weekend?
Speaker 3: A We're getting sick. I feel like crap. Yah ya too.
Speaker 3: Marky's gonna go visit her grandmother in Tennessee to pick
Speaker 3: up some stuff our grandmother left her when she passed away.
Speaker 3: So I'm Mount Lincoln by myself until around like Sunday night.
Speaker 3: So there's no possible way I can stream till midnight,
Speaker 3: right and then wake up at six o'clock and take
Speaker 3: care of them the next day. So no stream this weekend.
Speaker 3: Need to say that, I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Are you using the show? Is housekeeping for the thing? Yes?
Speaker 3: I am sure? Am oh wow, so RACI but no,
Speaker 3: it has to do because he said if someone were
Speaker 3: to buy you the game, would you stream it? And
Speaker 3: I would not. And the race for this is these companies,
Speaker 3: especially this thing, because this is a different animal altogether
Speaker 3: than the other world garbage we see government fund Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's completely different, like government paid for propaganda.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: These companies need to fail. These companies need to fail
Speaker 3: so they stop making this woke garbage. Same thing goes
Speaker 3: with the Star Wars game Ubi sawd especially. There's so
Speaker 3: much of this woke nonsense going on with Ubisoft. They
Speaker 3: need to fail, and the only way to do it
Speaker 3: is to not buy these these garbage games. Did I
Speaker 3: see Did I see a stat yesterday that the pre
Speaker 3: orders for the Star Wars game there's less average than
Speaker 3: one per game stop. They've been so bad, less than
Speaker 3: one per game stop the actual physical location. Over the
Speaker 3: past year, I've really been looking at because I used
Speaker 3: to really enjoy video games, you know, this one of
Speaker 3: my favorite hobbies to do, and play video games with
Speaker 3: my wife as well, we enjoy it. In the past year,
Speaker 3: I've noticed and even when it's streaming, it's been hard
Speaker 3: to find a game to really latch onto that's fun
Speaker 3: because you'll think you find like eld elden Ring, that's
Speaker 3: different because that once again that that's a Japanese developer
Speaker 3: and they have not embraces DIA nonsense yet. It's none
Speaker 3: of that crap. But a lot of these Western games,
Speaker 3: these studios, the ubisovs, right, you have these games where
Speaker 3: like you think you have a great game and you'll
Speaker 3: be playing it and I'll be enjoying it, and I'll
Speaker 3: be streaming it, and then suddenly, out of nowhere comes
Speaker 3: this political preaching and woke messaging and it completely ruins
Speaker 3: the game. It just comes to a standstill and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't even want to play your game. Anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're playing a game and you did some scenario and
Speaker 3: silly and fun, and suddenly there's there's a knock on
Speaker 3: Trump or there's some sort of you know, uh, right
Speaker 3: wingers are racist out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: And that's not even a political It would be one
Speaker 1: thing if there was politics in the game as part
Speaker 1: of it, like GTA has got a little of that,
Speaker 1: even though they don't go in the direction.
Speaker 3: More and more and it's impossible to find like a
Speaker 3: straight male protagonist in games anymore, and even like the
Speaker 3: women look like man, it's so super weird now, man,
Speaker 3: and you're a character creates. It's making it worse and
Speaker 3: I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say on that it's interesting that you
Speaker 1: said that I never, with the exception of Mario, wanted
Speaker 1: to hook up with the princess, Like I don't even
Speaker 1: calculate the sexual proclivity of video game characters, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know if Sonic's game right on.
Speaker 3: A lot of time, it wasn't the thing you thought of.
Speaker 3: And now it's that people are like, well, what's the
Speaker 3: definition of woke? I feel like it's when you hammer,
Speaker 3: when you have political messaging or you have messaging of
Speaker 3: a sexual nature that have nothing to do with the
Speaker 3: story that suddenly is in the story. They just start
Speaker 3: preaching at you and it completely ruins the experience of
Speaker 3: what they're trying to create.
Speaker 1: I I can't. And it's not just video game. It's
Speaker 1: it's now many times, been watching a TV show You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Now it's like it has nothing to do with the
Speaker 3: story or the narrative, but it comes out of nowhere,
Speaker 3: and it's suddenly they're giving you the message, and you
Speaker 3: feel like you're being preached to, and it's just just
Speaker 3: stopping it. So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna support
Speaker 3: these studios or these games anymore that are creating this
Speaker 3: crap that's consistently coming out of their studio. Can't do it,
Speaker 3: not gonna do it. And the only way for them
Speaker 3: to stop is for them to financially fail. So Luigi's
Speaker 3: probably gay though, right, Oh, completely nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 3: all right again, No, I didn't even didn't even think
Speaker 3: about this stuff.
Speaker 1: But this is why. What was the other I saw
Speaker 1: a list one time and it had a bunch of
Speaker 1: video game characters. I recognized where they were like it
Speaker 1: was you know, it was one of those like Kataku
Speaker 1: articles and they're like.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're like, you know, twenty songs on link
Speaker 3: the link from the legend Azelda was gay.
Speaker 1: And it's where it was more than that. It was
Speaker 1: like all the classic characters who are obviously quote clear
Speaker 1: here and there, the queerest undisclosed characters in the retro
Speaker 1: video gaming. That's what I had.
Speaker 3: People like watching movies or the at least they used to,
Speaker 3: and especially playing video games to escape this crap. Same
Speaker 3: with sports, right, you want sports to escape this this
Speaker 3: but now you can't get away with it. That's the same.
Speaker 3: What I was saying with the with the wolf stuff
Speaker 3: is is you'll be watching sports and suddenly, out of nowhere,
Speaker 3: you know, here's the message. They hit you over the
Speaker 3: head with the message. You're like, where did that come from?
Speaker 3: I was watching a football game.
Speaker 1: So chun Lee super gay? So what you didn't know that?
Speaker 1: And by the way, is it just the chun Lee
Speaker 1: and Street Fighter or is it also uh the chun
Speaker 1: Lee from Blood Sport.
Speaker 3: See if that's the one. Are they both spelt the same?
Speaker 3: Is it chun right? I'm not sure?
Speaker 1: Uh, chun Lee is how the Street Fighter is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never gotten in a Street Fighter because I
Speaker 3: got I'm a button masher because I'm awful at him.
Speaker 1: So I just like, well, that's the other thing too.
Speaker 1: You talked about Japanese cause we got about a minute,
Speaker 1: but you talked about Japanese companies. I saw yesterday the
Speaker 1: Capcom who did a ton of these fight Capcom the
Speaker 1: Street Fighters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're there about a year a year or two
Speaker 3: behind us.
Speaker 1: So they're they're releasing like ten of their classic fighter games,
Speaker 1: except they've admitted that they're going to visually censor them.
Speaker 1: They're going to like clean up women's necklines or going
Speaker 1: to be some advertisement's removed. And it's like you're selling
Speaker 1: to people want classic video games and you're making.
Speaker 3: Changes and the reason for this. They're like I said,
Speaker 3: they're about two years behind us. Japanese Japan. Yeah, Panda
Speaker 3: Namco is the same way, and they're like, well, this
Speaker 3: is what the West wants, so we're going to start
Speaker 3: putting in our games, and they have it like just
Speaker 3: look at the sales, dude, it's not what people want.
Speaker 1: It isn't. Well we're going to find out cause people
Speaker 1: are having some sort of reactions. So that's Star Wars game.
Speaker 1: Do you know what they spent on it? Probably way
Speaker 1: too much money, but anyway, so there you go. That's
Speaker 1: a video game option out there are racist boom, I
Speaker 1: just fired I just fired a weapon at you. But no,
Speaker 1: the crux of the game is you bully people, and
Speaker 1: you literally when you get done, they tell you that
Speaker 1: this was all about empathy. But as one reviewer put it,
Speaker 1: I spent the whole time. I even bullied people for
Speaker 1: no reason. It didn't do anything. Think about that and
Speaker 1: we'll be back. Here's a headline from PC gamer dust
Speaker 1: burn let me smack fascists and flirt with my situationship
Speaker 1: on a road trip across America. By the way, some
Speaker 1: of the terminology, uh, situationship.
Speaker 3: What the hell is that?
Speaker 5: Can?
Speaker 1: I sound really old for I mean, like, I get
Speaker 1: what it is. You're hooking up, but you're not exclusive,
Speaker 1: so we that's because it's I saw people acting like
Speaker 1: it's a thing that was just invented for people to
Speaker 1: have casual sex. And if that's the case, I would
Speaker 1: like to point you towards the sixties, the seventies, the eighties,
Speaker 1: most of the nineties, although not for a little while
Speaker 1: after that movie Kids came out. Holy crap, Roz, you
Speaker 1: remember that movie came out Kids? Do you remember that?
Speaker 3: That was like a big deal. Remember that.
Speaker 1: It was like, yes, I don't I don't want to
Speaker 1: ruin it for you. It's that put the fear of
Speaker 1: God in nineties Kids for a while. Basically just about
Speaker 1: a bunch of degenerate high schoolers in New York City
Speaker 1: who do some drugs, do some some adult stuff, do
Speaker 1: some diseases. It's yeah, anyway, but you know that's this
Speaker 1: isn't a thing he just came.
Speaker 3: It's it's more of the Zoomer thing of thinking. They
Speaker 3: they discovered everything that's already been disased.
Speaker 1: I love it when they discovered roommates. I was about
Speaker 1: to say, yeah New York New York Times article, Uh
Speaker 1: new uh uh you know, uh whatever generation. I can't
Speaker 1: remember who it was. A Zoomers, I can't remember who
Speaker 1: it was. But uh, they've come up with a new
Speaker 1: ingenious way to save money, non relatives living together and
Speaker 1: sharing the costs. They were they were super amazed by this.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, you you know, that's who
Speaker 1: they're targeting. A lot of the language in this video
Speaker 1: game and whatnot. And it's like, arguably you would think
Speaker 1: that's the group you gotta target the least because you
Speaker 1: still have that young person hold on them. Also, it's
Speaker 1: alternative history in the game, so like JFK wasn't the
Speaker 1: one who got shot. It was a Republican let's see here,
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley seceded from the US Friends Love anyway. It's
Speaker 1: so it's like every aspect of this game is just
Speaker 1: the fever dream of an uber progressive got to share
Speaker 1: the message production.
Speaker 3: It's taxpayer funded propaganda completely, yes, and it's.
Speaker 1: Listed as that. By the way, it's listed as disinformation combatant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think you can do it? You know,
Speaker 3: propaganda's powerful via you know, print or media or audio.
Speaker 3: What's really powerful is when you can put that sort
Speaker 3: of propaganda stuff in an interactive video game. That's crazy because.
Speaker 1: You're a character in it, so to speak. Right, It's
Speaker 1: one thing to watch people on TV do woke stuff.
Speaker 1: It's another thing when you're doing the woke stuff because
Speaker 1: you have to to progress in the game or it's
Speaker 1: part of the exper.
Speaker 3: Especially when you're when when you're a younger kid, right
Speaker 3: and you're playing a video game, and you like your
Speaker 3: your brain is mush and it's a sponge and it's
Speaker 3: taking everything in and you're like, oh, this is completely
Speaker 3: normal behavior.
Speaker 1: And you spend five hundred hours creating and building this
Speaker 1: character that you right, so you got you got personal
Speaker 1: investment in all of this. I noticed what's not part
Speaker 1: of the game is the Kamala Harris interview. I guess
Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't include that. On a scale of one
Speaker 1: to ten ross you just had to doub all this
Speaker 1: in uh ten being that went great, that's the next president,
Speaker 1: to one being uh that's going to tank it for
Speaker 1: because people are going to see how do you think
Speaker 1: that interview went? After dubbing in all the audio this morning?
Speaker 1: I would say probably a three or a four, Okay,
Speaker 1: I would like a Biden would be a one where
Speaker 1: it's a complete disaster. Yes, yes, yes, yes, But I
Speaker 1: also want to know, Like, because it was supposed to
Speaker 1: be an hour and they cut it down to eighteen minutes,
Speaker 1: I want to see the I want to see what.
Speaker 3: They cut out.
Speaker 1: Well, they're very busy. They're very very busy, So let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and get into this. And I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I caught myself and I watched this thing in its entirety.
Speaker 1: I would say on no less than ten occasions, I
Speaker 1: caught myself yelling at the monitor of my iPad, yelling
Speaker 1: at my e because that's what I was watching this
Speaker 1: thing on. And you have to understand, I'm alone in
Speaker 1: my house. I'm not talking to anybody. I'm not even
Speaker 1: trying to indicate to the neighbor. I'm just like, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Really? So let's go ahead and start
Speaker 1: heading down this road, and let's talk about the you know,
Speaker 1: the big thing, and that is do you believe all
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you profess to believe and want
Speaker 1: to do when you were on the campaign trail, either
Speaker 1: running for president or as the vice presidential nominee, or
Speaker 1: that you proclaimed during your time as senator. Remember who
Speaker 1: was the Senate partner with AOC for the Green New Deal.
Speaker 1: Never forget who was the first member of the US
Speaker 1: Senate to come in and say I'm going to be
Speaker 1: the author of the Senate version of this. It was
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. So when we're sitting there learning about mangrove
Speaker 1: farming and trains to Hawaii and the disappearance of cattle,
Speaker 1: the person who put their name on that out of
Speaker 1: one hundred possibilities, was this person? So do you still
Speaker 1: believe in no private health insurance? Do you still believe
Speaker 1: in getting rid of fracking? Do you still believe you know?
Speaker 1: And then insert any one of the positions that the
Speaker 1: borders find. Those are all fair questions, and it's not unfair,
Speaker 1: by the way either to say that you have changed
Speaker 1: your mind on something. But you've be able to show
Speaker 1: a clear path on that. All right, So let's get
Speaker 1: into it. And that's where we headed first.
Speaker 6: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the
Speaker 6: changes that you've made that you've explained some of here
Speaker 6: in your policy. Is it because you have more experience
Speaker 6: now and you've learned more about the end?
Speaker 1: Remember this is what this was the assist with Barack
Speaker 1: Obama and gay marriage. Right any time of Republican changes,
Speaker 1: they flip flopped. But when Barack Obama, who was unequivocally
Speaker 1: opposed to gay marriage, probably in large part because initially
Speaker 1: when he was coming up through the state legislature, he's
Speaker 1: representing a primarily black district and gay marriage did not
Speaker 1: pull well in black districts. And then he switched and
Speaker 1: They're like, oh no, he evolved. So she's being handed
Speaker 1: the lifeline that if she'd paid attention knows is available
Speaker 1: to her information?
Speaker 6: Is it because you were running for president in a
Speaker 6: Democratic primary?
Speaker 2: And should they feel comfort also?
Speaker 1: And I'm going to restart this because I talked to
Speaker 1: over it a little bit. I think it's important Dana's
Speaker 1: giving her all of the answers. She's just like, pick
Speaker 1: one from this Morgas board and I'll not approving.
Speaker 6: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the
Speaker 6: changes that you've made that you've explained some of here
Speaker 6: in your policy. Is it because you have more experience
Speaker 6: now and you've learned more about the information? Is it
Speaker 6: because you were running for president in a Democratic primary?
Speaker 6: And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're
Speaker 6: saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?
Speaker 7: Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect.
Speaker 1: Is it Dana or Dana?
Speaker 3: By the way, Ross and I thought it was Dana Bash.
Speaker 3: I've already heard that.
Speaker 1: I've heard Dana Bash now that I think Dana okay,
Speaker 1: But we better get it right, because you know what
Speaker 1: happens if you don't right.
Speaker 3: You got to get the person's name.
Speaker 2: Correction, you are racist, Yeah so, but.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 7: Man of my policy perspective and decisions is my values
Speaker 7: have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I
Speaker 7: have always believed, and I've worked on it, that the
Speaker 7: climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter
Speaker 7: to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves
Speaker 7: to deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation
Speaker 7: Reduction Act. We have set goals for the United States
Speaker 7: of America and by extension, the globe, around when we
Speaker 7: should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Speaker 7: As an example.
Speaker 1: What I don't understand. What the hell are you saying.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to support the Green New Deal. It's
Speaker 1: another thing entirely to think that there's environmental protections that
Speaker 1: need to be because the Green New Deal is insane.
Speaker 1: We all agree, right, we all agree that, especially that
Speaker 1: cheat cheat that came out where they're like f cows
Speaker 1: and you're going to take everything's going to be a
Speaker 1: train and we're all gonna work planning mangroves and the
Speaker 1: whole thing was insane, like one is not necessarily the other.
Speaker 1: But you didn't answer the question. And also times are
Speaker 1: deadlines that are based on time. I know, not all
Speaker 1: deadlines are. Sometimes you're gonna do something until you've done it,
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred repetitions and you know, versus you'll
Speaker 1: do it for an hour. I get that, But what
Speaker 1: the hell does that? That's what most deadlines are, either
Speaker 1: time or actions. That's why it's called a deadline. But
Speaker 1: I digress, all right. So one of the things, though,
Speaker 1: that they've tried to get her on is that she
Speaker 1: seems to have said over the last few days, had
Speaker 1: a couple of positions on fracking. So CNN wanted to
Speaker 1: clarify that you.
Speaker 6: Still want to banfracking.
Speaker 7: No, And I made that clear on the debate station
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty that I would not banfracking. As vice president,
Speaker 7: I did not banfracking. As president, I will not banfracking.
Speaker 6: In twenty nineteen, I believe at a town hall you
Speaker 6: said you were asked, would you commit to implementing a
Speaker 6: federal ban I'm fracking on your first day in office,
Speaker 6: and you said there's no question in favor of banning fracking.
Speaker 6: So yes, So it changed in that campaign.
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty. I make very clear where I stand.
Speaker 7: We are in twenty twenty four and I've not changed
Speaker 7: that position or will I going forward?
Speaker 1: All right, well, what caused you to change? This is
Speaker 1: what drives people mad. And also if you believe in
Speaker 1: something and you used to, let me tell you what's
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful things in discussion. Ross You
Speaker 1: see this on Twitter where somebody somebody who's not a somebody, right,
Speaker 1: they have like one thousand followers, maybe five hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty followers, and they write a post about how they
Speaker 1: used to believe this thing that's a contentious political issue
Speaker 1: or vote this way, and now they're voting this way,
Speaker 1: and then they explain why those go viral all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you explain the pivot point, right, what
Speaker 3: made you change? Because everybody does that. When you're younger, right,
Speaker 3: we know this, you tend to be more liberal, and
Speaker 3: you get older and you have a family become more conservative.
Speaker 3: It's understanding, but that's the trend, right, and people can
Speaker 3: understand that and they can relate to that. Like if
Speaker 3: your political opinions at the age of eighteen are the
Speaker 3: same at the age of fifty, that's kind of strange.
Speaker 3: Doesn't tend to happen, right, People evolve, and that's understandable
Speaker 3: and people can relate to that. But when you're just like, hey,
Speaker 3: the border is incredible, the border wall is incredibly racist,
Speaker 3: and then the next day you're like, hey, we should
Speaker 3: build a border wall, or you know, hey, we should
Speaker 3: have electric vehicles, we need to ban the gas engines
Speaker 3: and cars, and then no, I didn't mean that. And
Speaker 3: when this consistently happens issue after issue after issue and
Speaker 3: there's no pivot point, it looks like it's just political
Speaker 3: and people think you're full of crap because you are correct.
Speaker 1: Yes, And by the way, if you honestly believe that
Speaker 1: your current position is the correct one, explaining that pivot
Speaker 1: point that Ross is talking about is so powerful. Those
Speaker 1: are the kinds of things that may cause people to stop.
Speaker 1: And I'll give you the biggest example going on Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: You would think Elon Musk has been some big Republican
Speaker 1: donor his whole life, and he clearly hasn't. And you
Speaker 1: saw the pivot points where he would post things like
Speaker 1: I just stood here and I was on the left,
Speaker 1: and now everyone moves so far left, I'm considered on
Speaker 1: the right, Like it's not a pivot point in his thoughts.
Speaker 1: It's a pivot point in how he perceives himself. Now,
Speaker 1: those are powerful stories. And if you want to advocate
Speaker 1: for not banning fracking, which is your position, then you
Speaker 1: should explain how somebody who was opposed to fracking now
Speaker 1: is not opposed. Did you learn something? Did you learn
Speaker 1: that that Gasland movie was utterly full of crap?
Speaker 3: Is she learned she's not doing very well in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 3: That's what happened?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well that's a theory. That's right there.
Speaker 2: You racist.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I have to push back on behalf of the game. No,
Speaker 1: it's true. Like, let me tell you what as somebody
Speaker 1: who grew up with with methane literally just in the
Speaker 1: ground below me. You know, we got big natural gas
Speaker 1: out Wyoming in Montana. And if you go to where
Speaker 1: our cabin is, the water, the water smells like that.
Speaker 1: It's got that little odor thing, although you don't notice
Speaker 1: it after about an hour there. It doesn't catch on fire.
Speaker 1: It's we've tried to catch it on fire. It doesn't
Speaker 1: catch on fire. You tell it.
Speaker 3: Look, I can imagine a bunch of teen boys.
Speaker 1: Yes, when I tell you the first time we saw
Speaker 1: that that that video that ended up in that documentary
Speaker 1: of somebody turned their their faucet on and they can
Speaker 1: have a flamethrower?
Speaker 3: Was that Flint, Michigan?
Speaker 1: Was that Flint? I can't remember, it didn't matter, it's
Speaker 1: wherever it was. We're like, wait, we also have that.
Speaker 1: And we tried to light every faucet where we smelled that,
Speaker 1: and I've never accomplished it. So did you learn that
Speaker 1: maybe some of that stuff was you should say that,
Speaker 1: You should tell people that. And I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you that this thing was a train wreck for Kamala.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be a softball for Walls. I
Speaker 1: was wrong. I would argue this was almost worse for
Speaker 1: Walls because he's the you know, he's the sex symbol.
Speaker 1: He's the one on the rise right now, so people
Speaker 1: are still formulating opinions. We got lots more audio to
Speaker 1: get to. We will get to that. Also, if you
Speaker 1: want to change your sexual I guess proclivity, you got
Speaker 1: a new option. And you ever think you ever get
Speaker 1: the impression your bank doesn't give a crap about you?
Speaker 1: Ross you ever felt that way, big bank, they don't
Speaker 1: care something's wrong. You call they don't care. It's a pain.
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? Right? Unless I know
Speaker 1: some people use a credit union, they're like, oh, they're great,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's the case.
Speaker 3: I keep my money in my vault.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's and by the way, it's it's a
Speaker 1: Scrooge McDuck looking vault, so you can literally swim in there.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Anyway, this right here proves you're not alone.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to all that more coming up here
Speaker 1: on the Cacoday Radio Progress. I just saw a headline.
Speaker 1: I know you're all going to be excited about it.
Speaker 1: You know, probably you're in good spirits.
Speaker 3: You got ross.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're in an extra better mood
Speaker 1: today because there's a three day weekend? Or I suppose
Speaker 1: you got travel stuff with the family, so that's pretty stressful. Then,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, a lot of people just floating
Speaker 1: on air ahead of a three day weekend. So I
Speaker 1: don't mean to be this guy, but I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: this I'm gonna be this guy. So here we go
Speaker 1: from the hill. Some are COVID serge shows how we
Speaker 1: may have to return to twenty twenty pandemic measures. You guys,
Speaker 1: ready for round I guess it'll almost be round three.
Speaker 1: You guys ready for round three? You're six feet your
Speaker 1: little mask and you're not going to parties and can't
Speaker 1: buy seeds in Michigan for some reason, you guys pumped
Speaker 1: for that. We'll digest a little more of that story,
Speaker 1: which the comments are what will crush your soul because
Speaker 1: in the comments for that are a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: at least on the Twitter thread that I saw this
Speaker 1: is attached to, we're a bunch of people who wanted
Speaker 1: to let the world know that they never stopped social distancing,
Speaker 1: and they never stopped wearing masks, and they never stopped
Speaker 1: doing these things. So they are virtuous. You are the problem,
Speaker 1: and this is all your fault. It's not their fault
Speaker 1: for doing these things, and it will It just makes
Speaker 1: you angry to read these absolutely who are continuing to
Speaker 1: do things by the way that don't necessarily even work
Speaker 1: that we now know. But I digress all right back
Speaker 1: to this because this Tim Walls cut. What is wrong
Speaker 1: this one? The Tim Walls cut. It just can't be
Speaker 1: taking a part enough the little things here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play it again. So Tim Walls is specifically asked about
Speaker 1: the stolen valor stuff. And I'm gonna let you know,
Speaker 1: by the way, what the wall situation has seemed to
Speaker 1: bring about. And it's already shown results, and that's people
Speaker 1: going through politicians who talk about military service and perhaps
Speaker 1: awards and promotions they've received and checking that info. You know,
Speaker 1: you can check that info. If if somebody tells you
Speaker 1: that they got the Medal of Honor, you can check that.
Speaker 1: If somebody tells you that they have a purple heart,
Speaker 1: you can check that. And that's what they're doing. And
Speaker 1: that's there's some interesting results. But let me let me
Speaker 1: go ahead and get to the tim walls cut. Here
Speaker 1: we go. Oh no, now it's frozen, absolutely great. Now
Speaker 1: hang on to it stops and then it logs back in,
Speaker 1: which is doing right now? I have no idea what
Speaker 1: this keeps doing. Then I talked to our engineering Matt Dude,
Speaker 1: and he's just like, that's weird. Yeah, yeah, it is
Speaker 1: all right. So here we go. Here is the question.
Speaker 1: Here is the cut.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you.
Speaker 6: A question about how you've described your service in the
Speaker 6: National Guard. You said that you carried weapons in war,
Speaker 6: but you have never deployed actually in a war zone.
Speaker 6: A campaign official said that you misspoke, did you well?
Speaker 8: First of all, I'm incredibly proud I've done twenty four
Speaker 8: years of wearing the uniform of this country. Equally proud
Speaker 8: of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's
Speaker 8: Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself. But
Speaker 8: I think people are coming to you to know me.
Speaker 8: I speak like they do. I speak candidly, I wear
Speaker 8: my emotions on my sleeves, and I speak especially passionately
Speaker 8: about about our children being shot in schools and around
Speaker 8: around guns. So I think people know me, they know
Speaker 8: who I am, they know where my heart is. And again,
Speaker 8: my record has been out there for over forty years.
Speaker 1: To be for itself.
Speaker 6: And so he didn't answer it the idea that you
Speaker 6: said that you were in war. Did you miss speak,
Speaker 6: as the campaign has said, yeah.
Speaker 8: I said we were talking about in this case, this
Speaker 8: was after school shooting the ideas of carrying these weapons
Speaker 8: of war, and my wife the English telling my grammar's
Speaker 8: not always correct. But again, if it's not this it's
Speaker 8: an attack on my children for showing love for me,
Speaker 8: or it's an attack on my dog. I'm not going
Speaker 8: to do that. And the one thing I'll never do
Speaker 8: is I'll never demean another member's service.
Speaker 1: Okay, boy, where do I even start here? One, you're
Speaker 1: a teacher too. Let's just you're a language you understand
Speaker 1: your wife's an English teacher, and you're a governor now,
Speaker 1: but you're you're a language teacher. So to sit there
Speaker 1: and say you have bad grammar is crazy to me.
Speaker 1: But the craziest thing is, Roz, You've had an opportunity
Speaker 1: over the years to talk to people who are you
Speaker 1: just you know, their military, right, they call into the
Speaker 1: show on a military topic and they start talking to you.
Speaker 1: What is one of the things that military people don't do?
Speaker 1: And the thing that they don't do is speak in English?
Speaker 1: That a way I can understand it because you all
Speaker 1: love acronyms, which is fine. You ever talk to a
Speaker 1: military person. They threw three acronyms in the same sentence
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know what you're telling me,
Speaker 1: And that's okay. The military under comprehension of the information
Speaker 1: and your goals and tasks and language that is unique
Speaker 1: to the military, with more acronyms than you could ever
Speaker 1: ever imagine, and even military people could probably all remember.
Speaker 1: But what they don't do is screw up common language
Speaker 1: surrounding things like firearms and nervous. Do you get what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, Like, I've never heard a military
Speaker 1: person who goes, who said I was in Afghanistan in
Speaker 1: Iraq or I was in a war zone? Who wasn't
Speaker 1: and went, oh, well, obviously I misspoke because they understand that.
Speaker 1: They understand the concept of stolen valor. And it's not
Speaker 1: to say that people don't exaggerate. I'm talking about people
Speaker 1: who are quote unquote being honest about it. They don't
Speaker 1: screw that up. They know what a term means. You know,
Speaker 1: what does deployed mean? What does what does the theater
Speaker 1: of combat mean? What does you know? All of these terms?
Speaker 1: They are really aware, more so than the general public.
Speaker 1: So the idea that Tim Walls accidentally said he fought
Speaker 1: in a war zone with quote weapons of war, that's
Speaker 1: twenty four years in the military. I refuse to believe
Speaker 1: you made that error. But he didn't just say it
Speaker 1: once either, No, it remated said it outright over and
Speaker 1: over again. So no, nobody's buying that.
Speaker 3: They also scup their rank. Well that you know, that's yes,
Speaker 3: though the deal, because that's another form of stolen valor,
Speaker 3: and nobody's nobody's you know, questioning your service or they
Speaker 3: were questioning your lines about your service. It's completely different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, and well but then, but that's the only
Speaker 1: response you can come back with, like, well, obviously they're
Speaker 1: questioning my service here, but they're not. Nobody begrudges you
Speaker 1: for doing twenty four you know, good for you. I
Speaker 1: don't know other than what I'm seeing surrounding this particular
Speaker 1: promotion and the reaction to it, I don't I haven't
Speaker 1: seen anything where for the other twenty two years people
Speaker 1: have weighed in on the kind of office or he was.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was fine, maybe he will you know, maybe
Speaker 1: he did the bare minimum, maybe he excelled in certain areas. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Nobody's questioning then. But I'll tell you what this has
Speaker 1: prompted is people digging into people listing all these and
Speaker 1: in fact, they've already started coming up with it. The
Speaker 1: governor of Maryland you ready for this, Wes Moore is
Speaker 1: apologizing because he accidentally wrote that he received a bronze star.
Speaker 1: You know, when you receive a bronze star, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a big deal. Ross, Did your dad get a
Speaker 1: Bronze star? I know he got purple heart, did not?
Speaker 1: He did not get a bronze Star. I have a
Speaker 1: close family friend who has two Bronze Stars. I've actually
Speaker 1: physically seen them, so I tend to believe them. And
Speaker 1: you know, the stories surrounding them are flipping amazing. Right.
Speaker 1: It's clear that his name is Rodney. It's clear that
Speaker 1: Rodney earned those right. So, but the story he had
Speaker 1: to tell me as to why he was awarded the
Speaker 1: bronze star along with a purple heart, I think he
Speaker 1: has a cluster attached to it too, is insane. Is
Speaker 1: a story where you're just like, yep, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: You don't just oh, oops, I got a oh I
Speaker 1: didn't get a bronze start. The Governor Maryland wrote on
Speaker 1: his Now this is interesting. This is when he was
Speaker 1: attempting to work in the White House back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, so he was on his way and
Speaker 1: he wrote about having a bronze start. He didn't have one.
Speaker 1: He was twenty seven at the time, more than old enough.
Speaker 1: He said that the reason he never corrected the mistake
Speaker 1: initially is because he was eager to begin the next
Speaker 1: phase of his life and had forgotten about it. No,
Speaker 1: that's going to irritate the crap out of people. For
Speaker 1: you military folks out there, are you telling me that
Speaker 1: you've served with somebody who has been a lifer for
Speaker 1: all practical purposes that can't correctly delineate whether they served
Speaker 1: in a combat zone, which, by the way, I thought
Speaker 1: that increases your pace, so that'd be a pretty good
Speaker 1: way of knowing. You're telling me that those people exist
Speaker 1: in the military who are at that rank with twenty
Speaker 1: plus years in. I don't believe it. Everything about his answer.
Speaker 1: The more I hear it and listen to it, because
Speaker 1: I had dub An audio this morning, it makes me
Speaker 1: more and more angry because and then his answer, they're
Speaker 1: asking him, asking him about this stolen valor, and he
Speaker 1: pivots to school shootings, yes, which is like, so now
Speaker 1: you're using a school shooting as a political prop and
Speaker 1: you're like, well, yeah, so I didn't actually deploy. I
Speaker 1: abandoned my UNI and stuff, but you know, I was
Speaker 1: in a classroom, which is pretty much like a war zone.
Speaker 1: Because the school shootings, yea, that is it's gross. It's
Speaker 1: just like the the corngall Valley. Actually, in fact that
Speaker 1: I should name this instead of Wakefield, call it Cornngall
Speaker 1: Valley High School up there. You don't know what Cornngall
Speaker 1: Valley is. You should look that up because it's clearly
Speaker 1: a lot worse than the than today's schools. All of
Speaker 1: the horrible stories was standing.
Speaker 3: And he's doing that right as a political prop because
Speaker 3: there are people who send their children to public schools,
Speaker 3: and part of the worrying when you're a parent is
Speaker 3: you don't want something like that to happen. So he's
Speaker 3: using that as an emotional weapon.
Speaker 1: It's christ Yeah, So if you're gonna write about stolen
Speaker 1: awards or talk about things that you did or didn't do,
Speaker 1: you should probably get it accurate because people are checking now.
Speaker 1: So Ross, I reviewed your application because I figured it
Speaker 1: would be thorough. Did you actually receive the Order of
Speaker 1: the Batlith and the Starfleet Medal of Honor? Is that
Speaker 1: it says here in your application you got both of those.
Speaker 1: That would be weird that you'd get both the Klingon
Speaker 1: Highest Award and the Starfleet Highest Award? Should I check
Speaker 1: into this or just it's probably accurate? Just move along,
Speaker 1: Just move it's not important I see, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well we were a little unclear. All right, I'll let
Speaker 1: you grab that call while we get some more audio.
Speaker 1: The idea I.
Speaker 3: Would bring dishonor upon my house, I can't even believe
Speaker 3: you would do that. I can't look at this.
Speaker 1: Ross also got the Cochrane Medal of Excellent, so that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wears them around too. It's absolutely repugnant, this clanging
Speaker 1: together in an audio setting. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: All right? So anyway, Yeah, like I said, there was
Speaker 1: stuff in here that would make you more angry than
Speaker 1: even the Kamalist stuff. But let's get back to the
Speaker 1: Kamalist stuff, shall we, and specifically inflation. All right, that's
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. I want you to listen
Speaker 1: to what she says and calculated in your brain versus
Speaker 1: your fields.
Speaker 6: You have been vice president for three and a half years.
Speaker 6: The steps that you're talking about, now, why haven't you
Speaker 6: done them already?
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy,
Speaker 7: and we have done that. I'm very proud of the
Speaker 7: work that we have done that has brought inflation down
Speaker 7: to less than three percent.
Speaker 1: Okay, and again, this is the plane fast and loose,
Speaker 1: and this is what Danica Bash. We're gonna keep calling
Speaker 1: her a different d name because we don't know what
Speaker 1: it is, and we're parroting three year letterman.
Speaker 6: This is.
Speaker 1: And Dani Kabash knows that when they say inflation's down,
Speaker 1: it's not down versus when they came into office. It's
Speaker 1: up dramatically. In fact, in some measurements it's up twenty
Speaker 1: three percent. Not the government's measurement because they don't take
Speaker 1: into account the things you know, you actually buy, but whatever,
Speaker 1: But it's up. Just because it's down from month over
Speaker 1: month doesn't mean it's down.
Speaker 3: That presses me off that they do that, right, because
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, well inflation is going down. No it isn't.
Speaker 3: You're just adding it to the previous month. It's like,
Speaker 3: I saw this explain that social media. It's a great
Speaker 3: way to explain it if you're looking to explain it
Speaker 3: to somebody. You know, you put on five pounds one month, right,
Speaker 3: and the next month you put on four pounds, so
Speaker 3: went down. In the next month you put three two though, right,
Speaker 3: so it looks like right, but no, I'm talking about
Speaker 3: adding weight. Right, So you put on you put in
Speaker 3: five pounds one year, and you put on you know,
Speaker 3: three pounds the next year, and you put on two pounds,
Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, the percentage is going down, but
Speaker 3: you're still adding weight.
Speaker 1: But then you lose five pounds that same year and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I am light. You know it's lighter
Speaker 1: than when I got here. No, it's not. You're still
Speaker 1: up with twelve pounds by your own calculations. Is that
Speaker 1: that's the one you saw? Yes, yeah, yeah, No, it's
Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate. That's exactly the way that it
Speaker 1: was down three percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're still adding three percent to what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolute insanity. Man. All right, let me grab or actually,
Speaker 1: let me grab this call here real quick and we'll
Speaker 1: get into some other stuff. All right, Eric, what's up.
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning?
Speaker 5: Good? Right?
Speaker 4: I just want to call in. Yeah, I just wanted
Speaker 4: to speak to what you're talking about with Kim Walls.
Speaker 4: I was in the military for many years. I'm a
Speaker 4: disabled Army veteran. I was in the eighty second Airborne Division.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you this. If Tim Walls was one
Speaker 4: of my leaders, and he stood in front of a
Speaker 4: formation one morning and told all of us in our
Speaker 4: platoon that Hey, when I was in Panama, I jumped
Speaker 4: into the airport and I did so and so, and
Speaker 4: I did this, and I did that. The moment that
Speaker 4: that lie came out of his mouth, every single person
Speaker 4: who was in earshot of that would completely lose respect
Speaker 4: for the man, if they had any, and he would
Speaker 4: never regain that back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, words, guys wouldn't mutiny, but there would be provisions
Speaker 1: because the rumor mill would be that this guy's line
Speaker 1: about his service, and I would think that the higher
Speaker 1: ups at that point would be like, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: not a good thing.
Speaker 4: And that information the rumor mil was withinside the military.
Speaker 4: We all know, we hear, we know BS when we
Speaker 4: hear it, and that's complete BS. And it would spread
Speaker 4: so fast that that guy would never he would never
Speaker 4: be able to get uh get any respect ever again period.
Speaker 4: And to continue with the lie over and over again
Speaker 4: just shows a level of who wants that as a leader.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's the that's the case, and Eric come
Speaker 1: up against the clock. I appreciate it, but no, Eric's
Speaker 1: absolutely right. Even though that stuff may manifest within the
Speaker 1: military and people around immediately going to know it listen
Speaker 1: to military people. Listen to all this guy's former CEOs.
Speaker 1: Listen to the guys who took over that job. His
Speaker 1: CEO said the best. He's so glad Walls resigned because
Speaker 1: he was bad at it. You should that shouldn't that
Speaker 1: should matter with you. Coming up on the show in
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, Pete Callender will join us and we'll take
Speaker 1: apart his uh military service, which I don't think he
Speaker 1: did any so it should be pretty easy. But either way,
Speaker 1: that's coming up. See what he thought of the old
Speaker 1: Kamala interview there. That's what we're attempting to digest and
Speaker 1: make our way through this morning. So well, I get
Speaker 1: a lot of emails this morning. The thing that gets
Speaker 1: me is this line. Sack of crap had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to lead troops into combat and walked away from the
Speaker 1: rank the troops he would have led and the ability
Speaker 1: to say he went to war. Now he claims to
Speaker 1: have done all those things that brave men and women
Speaker 1: actually did under federal orders, without the sacrifice and in reality,
Speaker 1: without the testicular fortitude. I'm gonna change your emailsir. They
Speaker 1: left their family sacrifice, gave up a year plus of
Speaker 1: their life. As Ross said, he immediately pivoted to being
Speaker 1: a victim. The guy is worse than Kamala. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he you know what, And here's the thing, and it
Speaker 1: wouldn't stop him from pivoting to be a victim. But
Speaker 1: when you have a group of people who throw out
Speaker 1: the easy thing, I would argue that some of the
Speaker 1: people that were making fun of Tim Walls's son were supporters,
Speaker 1: not that there weren't enough people who hate him that
Speaker 1: were doing it, but I think there was also some
Speaker 1: supporters ginning that up, because then Walls can be like,
Speaker 1: look how horrible they are. It's not me. But in reality,
Speaker 1: none of these issues having to do with this have
Speaker 1: anything to do with your kids or your dog. Sir,
Speaker 1: But you signing former National Guard soldier three deployments. All right, well,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you out there, Steve. Yeah, that's the stuff
Speaker 1: that just boggles people's minds as we're getting into this.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and talk about the I
Speaker 1: think the big elephant in the room, and that is, well,
Speaker 1: you're currently the vice president, So how can you be
Speaker 1: the agent of change? And how can everything be so
Speaker 1: horrible that we need you to fix it? Although I
Speaker 1: did see a new version Ross. Do you know what
Speaker 1: the new spin on this is. By the way, I
Speaker 1: saw MSNBC do it yesterday, and the New York Times
Speaker 1: did it all right, so you know the new spin.
Speaker 1: It's not that Kamala isn't in power. It's that it's
Speaker 1: all run by old white men. So the change is
Speaker 1: from old white men running stuff, and not just because
Speaker 1: she doesn't have any power. She's just in the office,
Speaker 1: sitting around the Naval Observatory baking or something. So when
Speaker 1: they say change it, don't think of it as well.
Speaker 1: She's currently in office, so it would be a change
Speaker 1: from her. You need to understand that the old white
Speaker 1: man cabal was running everything, and so change is her
Speaker 1: youth and her energy and I'm sure her wonderful stories
Speaker 1: and cocktail recipes. So that's how they're trying to spin
Speaker 1: this thing. But Darlene Bash asked about it, so let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and hear it.
Speaker 6: Maintain bionomics is a success.
Speaker 7: I maintain that when we do the work of bringing
Speaker 7: down prescription medication for the American people, including capping the
Speaker 7: cost of the annual cost of prescription medication for seniors
Speaker 7: at two thousand dollars, when we do what we did
Speaker 7: in the first year of being in office to extend
Speaker 7: the child tax credit so that we cut child poverty
Speaker 7: in America by over fifty percent. When we do what
Speaker 7: we have done to invest in the American people in
Speaker 7: bringing manufacturing back to the United States, so that we
Speaker 7: created over eight hundred thousand new manufacturing jobs.
Speaker 1: By the way, does this not sound like a Trump speech?
Speaker 1: And it should, because all of those things were either
Speaker 1: prioritized or we're done. Child tax credit was something that
Speaker 1: was done again under Trump. The cost of prescription drugs
Speaker 1: like insulin was capped by Trump. If you remember, in
Speaker 1: both instances, these cats walked away from it so they
Speaker 1: could then do their own thing. And then bringing manufacturing jobs.
Speaker 1: Trump wouldn't shut up about that since twenty sixteen every
Speaker 1: time he came to North Carolina. It was part of
Speaker 1: the discussion. Rightfully, so after what NAFTA did to this place.
Speaker 1: But she's reciting Trump's stuff, and DaVita Basher knows this,
Speaker 1: she knows this, and she should be. I'm assuming that's
Speaker 1: what the forty two minutes is. It's just follow ups, going,
Speaker 1: are you really that's your final answer?
Speaker 7: Bringing business back to America, what we have done to
Speaker 7: improve the supply chain, so we're not relying on foreign
Speaker 7: governments to supply American families with their basic needs. I'll
Speaker 7: say that that's good work.
Speaker 1: I'll say that that's all either made up things that
Speaker 1: were already happening or things that you haven't accomplished yet.
Speaker 1: And then she went, rent is too damn highd channel
Speaker 1: in him.
Speaker 7: Hundreds of people a day were dying because of COVID.
Speaker 7: The economy had crashed in large part, all of that
Speaker 7: because of mismanagement by Donald Trump of that crisis. When
Speaker 7: we came in, our highest priority was to do what
Speaker 7: we could to rescue America. And today we know that
Speaker 7: we have inflation at under three percent. A lot of
Speaker 7: our policies have led to the reality that America recovered
Speaker 7: faster than any wealthy.
Speaker 1: Nation around the world, which is not true. Right.
Speaker 7: Prices in particular for US are still too high. The
Speaker 7: American people know what.
Speaker 1: I know it by the way that that whole thing
Speaker 1: that is one of the biggest made up statistics out there,
Speaker 1: the US recovered faster. Do you know that the way
Speaker 1: that they actually calculated that had to do with GDP
Speaker 1: stuff and specifically. One of the reasons that the US
Speaker 1: ranks high, although not first on that is because they
Speaker 1: put an ungodly sum of money into a couple different
Speaker 1: programs and then estimated the job production from it even
Speaker 1: though it didn't emerge. One of those things, I'll just
Speaker 1: give you an example of this is the amount of
Speaker 1: jobs that are calculated as part of the portion of
Speaker 1: the one of I can remember which of the two
Speaker 1: bills it was in, but the amount of jobs created
Speaker 1: to build and install electric charging units. Because we're talking
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions and hundreds and into the billions with
Speaker 1: some of these projects, and so they were able to
Speaker 1: calculate some of these things as existing. Well, we now know,
Speaker 1: what do they build ross five or six charging stations nationwide?
Speaker 1: I think it's five, yeah, five. So and then even
Speaker 1: then it doesn't put you ahead of nations like Sweden
Speaker 1: and various others. There's a few, and so that's it's
Speaker 1: not even true. But the biggest canard, the thing I
Speaker 1: think people are most worried about in many instances, is
Speaker 1: what's going on at the border. Did you guys see
Speaker 1: the video footage from the apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado?
Speaker 1: Aurora if you don't know, is Aurora's The Aurora is
Speaker 1: the West suburb, or excuse me, the East suburb of Denver.
Speaker 1: It's decidedly not that nice. Some parts are, but for
Speaker 1: the most part, living in Aurora is living in a
Speaker 1: more socioeconomic fraud area. And so a lot of that
Speaker 1: is where you've seen the migrant crisis in Denver Center.
Speaker 1: Plus it's where they had the tense city and you
Speaker 1: see what's going on in this apartment complex is something
Speaker 1: that goes on in these third world hell whole dictator
Speaker 1: order is broken down kind of places. You see what
Speaker 1: looks like a Venezuelan hit squad carrying pistols, carrying what
Speaker 1: looks like shotguns, and even some weapons that I'm not
Speaker 1: particularly I don't know if they're automatic or not they
Speaker 1: have the capacity to be, it's hard to tell. And
Speaker 1: they're basically kids, they're teenagers, early twenties, and they've just
Speaker 1: decided that I'm the landlord. Now I'm the landlord, and
Speaker 1: so they roll in there to essentially collect rent police stuff.
Speaker 1: In the one video, they're searching apartments for somebody who
Speaker 1: was telling them they couldn't and you know, no search
Speaker 1: wearn't nothing. They're just they're just going in and doing
Speaker 1: this stuff.
Speaker 3: If they've taken over three apartment complexes there three and we.
Speaker 1: Had two buses in San Diego yesterday where the buses
Speaker 1: couldn't even stop for the kids because a bunch of
Speaker 1: migrants tried to take the bus. I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 1: that is some really scary that's because that is scary
Speaker 1: stuff that's always been at arms distance. Right. You hear
Speaker 1: the story about oh, in Al Salvador, you had a
Speaker 1: bunch of gang members who took over a square block
Speaker 1: or something, or in Venezuela, and you're able to couple
Speaker 1: it with extreme poverty and everything that's going on, and
Speaker 1: that trains people. I told you about my friend from Venezuela,
Speaker 1: Like the stories are amazing and not in a good way.
Speaker 1: And what happened their family business because they didn't fall
Speaker 1: in line. Those very same folks are coming here. You
Speaker 1: know you've heard about how you know these countries are
Speaker 1: offloading the worst of the worst. I absolutely believe that
Speaker 1: you know why because we've seen a Cuba did it,
Speaker 1: Cuba's boat lift and hostage, that whole thing where we
Speaker 1: took thousands of people who were quote in prison or
Speaker 1: we're in danger. It turned out a lot of them
Speaker 1: were in isn't a lot of them should have been
Speaker 1: in prison, and not just for weird made up dictator stuff.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, they asked her about the
Speaker 1: border and you know, go hard here and explain again
Speaker 1: why you pivoted your position. But she goes a different direction.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that here in just a moment. First,
Speaker 1: raced Agic from the Weather Channel is standing by. We'll
Speaker 1: go ahead, and oh it's ken Boone. That's right, because
Speaker 1: raced Agic No, no, no, no, yeah, Monday's ken Boone,
Speaker 1: right Monday.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well it's actually Jeff maher Well I thought here
Speaker 9: on Monday. No, nobody's here Monday. So that's good.
Speaker 1: Okay, mm hmm. How'd you like the acc action last night?
Speaker 9: Huh? Well, there weren't more than three teams, right they played?
Speaker 9: I know all three teams won?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right?
Speaker 9: That amounts gave a NC State a run there though
Speaker 9: that was pulling.
Speaker 1: For him Gophers. Uh, given tar Heels a run that
Speaker 1: was less than a less than a field goal and
Speaker 1: before crushed A and T. Yeah, that's that's pretty much
Speaker 1: what you expected.
Speaker 9: Got it.
Speaker 1: First one State won by like two touchdowns, no more
Speaker 1: than that, two touchdowns in a field goal.
Speaker 9: It was thirty twenty one. Yeah, yeah, thirty eight twenty one.
Speaker 9: But it's what you expect. It was sloppy in the beginning,
Speaker 9: and you know, so it is what it is and
Speaker 9: had a delay and tomorrow tomorrowcast by the way, no,
Speaker 9: thank you. Yeah, I said I didn't think many had
Speaker 9: it in, but I said there could be something that could.
Speaker 9: It's exactly what I some isolated storms around, so that
Speaker 9: worked out.
Speaker 1: I'm taking in Georgia and the points tomorrow.
Speaker 9: I'm not touching that. If you take Clemson, it's a
Speaker 9: pretty good payoff.
Speaker 1: Well not if you're betting, well, if you're betting money line. Yes,
Speaker 1: well yeah, I meant for those that I don't because
Speaker 1: it's if you just take it with the points, it's
Speaker 1: just the regular payoffs. So right, I endure draftings, so
Speaker 1: you gotta listen to me. So oh okay, So also
Speaker 1: I have a gambling yeah, Bobby, so oh man, anywhoy?
Speaker 1: Well good for you.
Speaker 9: But yeah, we'll see, we'll see a couple of good
Speaker 9: ones tomorrow, but the dome will be closed for that one,
Speaker 9: so you don't have to worry about rain. If it does,
Speaker 9: it'll be on the way home if you are taking
Speaker 9: the trip. We're going to see our rain chances the
Speaker 9: next few days continue to go up, so the coverage
Speaker 9: you go up, starting probably this afternoon.
Speaker 1: I think we had a one hundred yesterday, and we
Speaker 1: had one hundred yesterday. I think we did so I
Speaker 1: don't know. It sucked, Yeah it sucked. Yes, yeah, a
Speaker 1: terrible cuddy. Yeah it was one hundred and one.
Speaker 9: Actually, sorry, broke the records at nineteen forty eight of
Speaker 9: one hundred. Try it ninety five, no records. So today,
Speaker 9: with the nineties back in the little bit nineties and
Speaker 9: the heat committed in the front trying to get here,
Speaker 9: the rain chance goes up a little bit. So widely
Speaker 9: scattered this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Then on Sunday and
Speaker 9: Monday better chances, maybe especially on Sunday of scattered shower storms.
Speaker 9: I really think Sunday's the best chance. And then and
Speaker 9: Monday Labor Day will be like, yeah, there might rain
Speaker 9: a little bit, and then go back more hours of
Speaker 9: drive than wey. That looks like how it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, Ross thinks for sending messages about
Speaker 1: the the flat Earth or something. So well, he did
Speaker 1: say the dome would be closed. I think he met
Speaker 1: the dome in Atlanta. Yes, Mercedes ben Staking Oh okay, okay, dude,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, No, he's slipped up there. We got
Speaker 1: you at tape bro. All right, all right out of here.
Speaker 1: Illuminati dude. All right, there you go, raced age. I
Speaker 1: totally a member of the Illuminati. Seven forty eight. More
Speaker 1: audio with Kamala and Pete Callender coming up. Hang on
Speaker 1: Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes to extract rent and
Speaker 1: whatever else they can get. Like, there's a they've they've
Speaker 1: ledged there has been a sexual assault at one of
Speaker 1: the places too. I'm seeing that's going well. Also you
Speaker 1: have in California they've had to like alter bus routes
Speaker 1: because now I don't know, the language is a little
Speaker 1: unclear as to whether they try to quote unquote take
Speaker 1: the bus or simply get on the bus and refuse
Speaker 1: to get off. But regardless, any parent's going to be
Speaker 1: terrified if a group of anybody is trying to get
Speaker 1: on their kids' bus and doing so in a somewhat
Speaker 1: threatening manner or a very threatening manner between the two stories.
Speaker 1: It's the part where it's super preventable in this instance
Speaker 1: that I think weighs on people's minds. So with all
Speaker 1: of that going on, let's hear Kamala asked about it.
Speaker 6: Shall we raise your hand when asked whether or not
Speaker 6: the border should be decriminalized?
Speaker 2: Do you still believe that? I believe there should be consequence.
Speaker 7: We have laws that have to be followed and enforced
Speaker 7: that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is again a total non answered.
Speaker 1: So yes, you can say, well, there's laws that do this,
Speaker 1: do you support those laws?
Speaker 7: And there should be consequence? And let's be clear in
Speaker 7: this way, I'm the only person who has prosecuted transnational
Speaker 7: criminal organizations who trafficking guns, drugs, and human beings. I'm
Speaker 7: the only person in this race who actually served a
Speaker 7: border state as attorney general to enforce our laws, and
Speaker 7: I would enforce our laws as president going forward. I
Speaker 7: recognize the.
Speaker 1: Problem, Okay, And again it's a fine thing to say
Speaker 1: in the same way that like with Mark Robinson with abortion,
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is exactly the same thing Mark.
Speaker 1: You know, We've done interviews on the show where he's
Speaker 1: just like, I'd prefer if there's no abortion, that's his opinion.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the laws, he has said
Speaker 1: that he was comfortable with this with the last built
Speaker 1: which I think was what twelve weeks so, and at
Speaker 1: that case, if he's governor, he'll, you know, he'll enforce
Speaker 1: the laws as they are there are. You can take
Speaker 1: either route because sometimes you recognize you're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to get a change. But people need to
Speaker 1: know where you stand. People need to know where you stand.
Speaker 1: And the big, big, big thing in the room is
Speaker 1: did you notice this guy was losing his marbles? I mean,
Speaker 1: you're meeting with him at least once a week. Did
Speaker 1: you see the decline?
Speaker 6: President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President
Speaker 6: Biden's capacity to serve another four years. Right after the debate,
Speaker 6: you insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong. Given where
Speaker 6: we are now, do you have any regrets about what
Speaker 6: you told the American people?
Speaker 2: No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 7: Served with President Biden.
Speaker 1: This is the easiest year for almost.
Speaker 7: Four years now, and I'll tell you it's one of
Speaker 7: the greatest honors of my career. Truly, he cares so
Speaker 7: deeply about the American people.
Speaker 2: He is so smart and.
Speaker 7: Loyal to the American people. And I have spent hours
Speaker 7: upon hours with him being in the Oval office or
Speaker 7: the situation room. He has the intelli, the commitment, and
Speaker 7: the judgment and disposition that I think the American people
Speaker 7: rightly deserve in their president.
Speaker 1: All right, but since it is Friday, they're in the
Speaker 1: or here in the third hour, go ahead, and we
Speaker 1: welcome in our radio buddy to the South Pete Calender,
Speaker 1: Midday's WVT and on the iHeart radio app. What's going on, sir?
Speaker 5: Nothing, I don't think. How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good?
Speaker 2: You are racist?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Oh sorry? Yeah, that's that's from the New
Speaker 1: Woke video game where you you run around smash Antifa
Speaker 1: and fascists.
Speaker 5: So, oh, is this available on Xbox game pas Ross?
Speaker 1: Is it on game Pass? You do have to pay
Speaker 1: for it? But the best part is you already paid
Speaker 1: for it. So are you following? Are you following? Dustborn?
Speaker 3: Are you dust born?
Speaker 1: Dude? It's a whole video game that the US government
Speaker 1: paid for, the EU paid for, the government of Norway
Speaker 1: paid for in the British government paid for and the
Speaker 1: entire game is you a social justice warrior going around
Speaker 1: and and in many cases injecting yourself into situations. And
Speaker 1: your powers unlike punches, kicks, swords, magic, you know what's
Speaker 1: usually in a video game. Yeah, your powers are canceling, normalizing,
Speaker 1: and bullying bad behavior. And in fact, the whole game
Speaker 1: is basically you just being awful to people, even people
Speaker 1: who aren't doing anything. And at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: you have you then get your empathy score because they
Speaker 1: the reveal is is that empathy is the ultimate weapon.
Speaker 1: So and it's just po propaganda that we paid for.
Speaker 1: You should look it up. Man dust born is born?
Speaker 5: Yes, what a weird name for a for a game
Speaker 5: about that? Are there?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 5: Are there? Are there boss fights? Like do we go
Speaker 5: into mute and glue ourselves to Do you want to hear?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, hold on? Do you want to
Speaker 1: hear the protagonist? I do not know their gender, so
Speaker 1: I won't attempt it. Who's in a diner talking to
Speaker 1: two police officers who are the bad guys?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear the character defeating the evil
Speaker 1: racist police? All right? Sure? And and so keep in
Speaker 1: mind as the police are saying this, there's a little
Speaker 1: you know, you're a play PlayStation. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you got into it.
Speaker 5: I'm an Xbox guy, but I am aware of another
Speaker 5: console that is out on the market.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, My point being though, it shows you hit
Speaker 1: triangle right to go ahead and just you know, use
Speaker 1: your right. So what you're gonna hear is the weapon?
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Okay, the black kid dress
Speaker 1: is like, let me try to get well, you're with
Speaker 1: the black kid dresses like a writer? Does he know anything?
Speaker 2: You are racist?
Speaker 1: Boom boom, out of the water.
Speaker 5: Calling somebody a racist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could do the racist thing. In one case,
Speaker 1: you got to burn your own house down because your
Speaker 1: mom's doing an opium grow operation and an evil white
Speaker 1: neighbor came over and saw it and called the police.
Speaker 1: So so you have to burn your own home down
Speaker 1: and your grow operation. Yes, and you're you're still the
Speaker 1: morally superior one.
Speaker 5: So so does the weapon of your racist Does that
Speaker 5: diminish over the course of the game, Like the more
Speaker 5: you use it, the less effective it becomes.
Speaker 1: No, I believe it becomes more effective because you're calculating
Speaker 1: these out points. I'm out everything you're doing stronger.
Speaker 5: No, I'm out. That doesn't that's not now, that's not realistic.
Speaker 1: Really, that's you're out.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. The more you yell at, the
Speaker 1: less I care. Like I listened to you. But remember
Speaker 1: you're having to approach this from a bunch of moonbats
Speaker 1: who got all of your government tax dollars in mind,
Speaker 1: uh to go ahead and build this thing. And it
Speaker 1: only took them.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. Yeah, Well, is still in early access?
Speaker 5: Is it still early access?
Speaker 3: Where the trend is?
Speaker 1: It's wide open? It is we so any wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, I was just ross just checked it. He
Speaker 1: is in the Xbox store. It is yes, dust born,
Speaker 1: dust born. Yeah, what does that name even mean?
Speaker 5: By the way, is it like I.
Speaker 1: Have no idea, like you're born from the dust of
Speaker 1: of what? Or like it's also it's also the reality
Speaker 1: is also shifted, so like JFK wasn't assassinated. A Republican was.
Speaker 1: So that's good. There's a bunch of little tweaks here.
Speaker 1: But I have no idea what they call it that,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But it's a weird. It's just that it's just a
Speaker 5: weird I know of like the dragon Born, which kind
Speaker 5: of makes sense. It's like a fantasy, you know, dragon
Speaker 5: related game and you're born of this dragon blood kind
Speaker 5: of thing, and like I get that. But dust Born,
Speaker 5: it's just like you're you're like a you're like a
Speaker 5: like a dust mic that causes allergies or something.
Speaker 2: I don't wow, listen to you are racist.
Speaker 5: No, see, it doesn't even it doesn't even matter to
Speaker 5: me anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, it's because you were defeated and you don't want
Speaker 1: to admit it.
Speaker 5: Man, I am curious, Like, who are the bosses in
Speaker 5: the level fights I want?
Speaker 1: Ross has taken a stand where he refuses to give
Speaker 1: them any money, in which I can respect. No, he didn't.
Speaker 1: Ross hasn't played the game.
Speaker 5: You said it was funded by taxpayers.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, yes, but more money. He's not gonna gi
Speaker 1: him any more money.
Speaker 5: More money, So you don't even So you've paid for
Speaker 5: this thing and now you're not going to You're not
Speaker 5: going to Yeah, well and so all right, so all right,
Speaker 5: So early access is the way all of these video
Speaker 5: games are now going. And so I know you are
Speaker 5: not as in the world as Ross is, but early
Speaker 5: access is where like yeah, okay, I don't even know
Speaker 5: what that means, but like early access is like where
Speaker 5: you you the developers come along and they released the
Speaker 5: game early before like okay, yeah, so it's not done
Speaker 5: and so they're like, we're going to keep working on it.
Speaker 5: Let us know if you encounter problems and stuff. And
Speaker 5: some games are in this early access early development kind
Speaker 5: of period for years for years, and it's become a joke.
Speaker 5: Whereas it used to be a way for developers to
Speaker 5: get an injection of money to keep doing the work
Speaker 5: so they could get their title released. But now it's
Speaker 5: just like this this purgatory where they just kind of
Speaker 5: hang out for years and years and years. Mission creep
Speaker 5: you know, takes hold and they end up just you know,
Speaker 5: mangling their own product a lot of time. But so
Speaker 5: I'm curious, eight years it took to develop this was
Speaker 5: not a major title that put this out, a major
Speaker 5: development house that did this. So did theay? Is this
Speaker 5: the early access period?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 6: No? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it's it's fully full release. It's
Speaker 1: full release. Yeah what are they.
Speaker 5: Charging for it?
Speaker 1: Do we know?
Speaker 6: So? No?
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, no, no, no, what do you mean you can't. No,
Speaker 5: you can't charge twenty five dollars for something like this.
Speaker 1: Well you think maybe one hundred.
Speaker 5: No, Now, this is like a seven ninety nine title.
Speaker 5: Give me a break.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it'll be there eventually, It'll be on
Speaker 1: that lie of bargain strip there.
Speaker 5: So I don't think I'm I'm gonna wait for it
Speaker 5: to come into game Pass.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then I get to play it. Yeah, play
Speaker 1: it on the air. Yeah, that'd be a great show.
Speaker 1: You know what we did do you know what we
Speaker 1: did for a show one time? That we did the
Speaker 1: whole show, the whole sh all three hours, and arguably
Speaker 1: it was one of our greatest shows ever. We were joking.
Speaker 1: I saw this story that they were this is this
Speaker 1: is during Chad Chop right the summer of mostly peaceful protest.
Speaker 1: Somebody they were somebody was writing Antifa romance novels and
Speaker 1: we bought one. I bought one on Amazon called My
Speaker 1: Antifa Lover and it's very short. It was very very short.
Speaker 1: It was maybe what eighty pages, hundred pages? And Ross
Speaker 1: just read it on the air while we mocked it.
Speaker 1: It's so bad. I can't remember all the reasons it's bad,
Speaker 1: but it's just like it's just this, you know, this
Speaker 1: girl who's a you know, normal, probably a little conservative,
Speaker 1: and she sees dudes in the black garb smashing stuff
Speaker 1: and it gets her all hot. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: your typical trash romance novel, but with an Antifa protagonist.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you would not believe it, but
Speaker 1: her Antifa lover great guy. Yeah once, he's just a
Speaker 1: guy fighting for fighting for stuff. Great guy, good guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. It's just a really really good dude who's
Speaker 1: got some's got some predilections. But you know, don't we
Speaker 1: also goodness? All right, here's a predilection on the part
Speaker 1: of Dana or Dana's Bash depend yeah yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I have to scold myself with the.
Speaker 2: You are racist.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works with Bash, but whatever.
Speaker 1: So eighteen minutes made it out. The interview lasted an hour.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what the other forty two minutes look like.
Speaker 1: But of the forty two minutes that did come out,
Speaker 1: there's a few things this that stuck out to me.
Speaker 1: And the very first thing is, and this was right
Speaker 1: off the bat, Bash is giving Kamala the answer in
Speaker 1: the question, and even giving her options and even giving
Speaker 1: her options. Now understand that what you're here, what you're
Speaker 1: hearing here is the Harris version of Barack Obama on
Speaker 1: gay marriage, where rather than flip flopping what they say,
Speaker 1: he evolved, he evolved. Okay, So this is this is
Speaker 1: a built in thing ready to go, and Bash is
Speaker 1: giving the answers.
Speaker 6: It's infurior generally speaking, How should voters look at some
Speaker 6: of the changes that you've made that you've explained some
Speaker 6: of here in your policy. Is it because you have
Speaker 6: more experience now and you've learned more about the information?
Speaker 6: Is it because you were running for president in a
Speaker 6: Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that
Speaker 6: what you're saying now is going to be your policy
Speaker 6: moving forward?
Speaker 1: All right? So yeah, so just feed ribless. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's a fine question at the beginning where you just stop,
Speaker 1: you know, have you changed? And then you just wait
Speaker 1: for them to do something right.
Speaker 5: Right, Those are all follow up questions you could ask.
Speaker 5: Just break the question apart. It's one of the most
Speaker 5: annoying things in media interviews that that I noticed, which
Speaker 5: is that they asked these long, rambling questions and give
Speaker 5: the policy all sorts of opportunities to answer whatever part
Speaker 5: they want to answer, rather than the actual question. Look,
Speaker 5: one thing that I learned from my time as a
Speaker 5: world record holding Olympic gold medal winning swimmer multiple Olympics
Speaker 5: is that.
Speaker 1: You know all those purple hearts on your chest right
Speaker 1: to swim? Yeah, very right.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not going to apologize for speaking passionately, and
Speaker 5: sometimes my grammar is not always.
Speaker 1: The best teacher, right teacher? Okay, all right, right that
Speaker 1: we're going to get to that cut second.
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, yeah, So this is the thing, like,
Speaker 5: you got the opportunity to to ask these questions which,
Speaker 5: by the way, never addressed, which is why haven't you
Speaker 5: done any interviews? Why did you make us wait six weeks?
Speaker 5: Right like that? That should be one of the first questions,
Speaker 5: but no, she lets her slide on that, and then
Speaker 5: she offers up the multiple choice and then Kamala can't
Speaker 5: even take the multiple choice offers. It was not a
Speaker 5: great start. Look, the interview is going to allow the
Speaker 5: campaign to do what the interview was intended to do,
Speaker 5: which is to say she has already addressed these.
Speaker 4: Issues, let's move on.
Speaker 5: That's it. That's the whole point. Of this interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I got to be honest,
Speaker 1: I thought Walls would be in there. He would I
Speaker 1: thought Walls would come out very good in the interview
Speaker 1: because I thought that that was going to be the
Speaker 1: natural strategy. Let's keep him in here. You know he's
Speaker 1: going to get asked about three things in particular. We'll
Speaker 1: keep him in here. Let's have something ready to say.
Speaker 1: And his answer to the stolen valor thing made my
Speaker 1: head want to explode because you would have You have
Speaker 1: to believe three things, Pete. You have to believe that
Speaker 1: a person who taught language is bad with language. You
Speaker 1: have to believe that somebody who spent twenty plus years
Speaker 1: in the military doesn't talk and understand how military people talk,
Speaker 1: which is language that is full of acronyms, where words
Speaker 1: have very specific meaning. I'll give you exactly and well
Speaker 1: and then ranks was going to be the third one,
Speaker 1: but I'll give you example of the words. There's a
Speaker 1: reason why some of the most iconic stuff has to
Speaker 1: do with military members, usually young military members, mislabeling something
Speaker 1: and literally being punished for it or being trained in it.
Speaker 1: This is my rifle, this is my gun, would be.
Speaker 1: I think the most famous one from Oh geez I
Speaker 1: was just why am I sitting there? I'm sorry?
Speaker 9: What was that?
Speaker 1: Ross full metal jacket? I kept want to say apocalypse
Speaker 1: now my brain just shut off. But also, I'm not
Speaker 1: a military veteran, and when you say that you serve
Speaker 1: time in combat, that has a very specific meaning.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: And here's what he says.
Speaker 6: I want to ask you a question about how you've
Speaker 6: described your service in the National Guard. You said that
Speaker 6: you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed
Speaker 6: actually in a war zone. Campaign officials said that you misspoke,
Speaker 6: did you Well?
Speaker 8: First of all, I'm incredibly proud I've done twenty four
Speaker 8: years of wearing the uniform of this country. Equally proud
Speaker 8: of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's
Speaker 8: Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself. But
Speaker 8: I think people are coming to it to know me.
Speaker 8: I speak like they do. I speak candidly, I wear
Speaker 8: my emotions on my sleeves, and I speak especially passionately
Speaker 8: about our children being shot in schools.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not I'm not even to dignify the rest
Speaker 1: of his answers, So he pivoted the school shooting minute
Speaker 1: and a half.
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he went on to say that, you know,
Speaker 5: his wife tells him his grammar isn't always great. So
Speaker 5: it's like, let me get this straight. You're talking that
Speaker 5: up to you're talking the lies that you told for
Speaker 5: twenty years as a grammatical error.
Speaker 3: Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 1: Says and then he says attacking kids and my dog,
Speaker 1: and it's like, none of this has anything to do
Speaker 1: with your kid or your dog, sir.
Speaker 5: Worst part, they've had six weeks to work on these answers.
Speaker 5: They've known what questions would be asked, albeit in this warm,
Speaker 5: you know, kid glove way, but they knew what questions
Speaker 5: were coming. Her on the flip flops, him on the
Speaker 5: stolen dollar, and this was their best shot at it.
Speaker 5: She said she has no regrets about lying to the
Speaker 5: American public about Joe Biden. She had only positive things
Speaker 5: to say about Bidenomics. Right, we're doing the best we can.
Speaker 5: She still stands by Bidenomics. And then they tried to
Speaker 5: ignore the joy right. Never once, never, once was mentioned
Speaker 5: joy And they obviously also coached her into minimizing the
Speaker 5: cackling right, so limited laughter.
Speaker 1: That's the forty two minutes just cackling.
Speaker 5: That's possible. Yeah, yeah, look, and here's the thing. I
Speaker 5: don't mind people laughing. Heck, I just did it myself.
Speaker 5: I don't mind people laughing. That's totally fine. It's the
Speaker 5: use of the laughter. As you can tell, she's trying
Speaker 5: to pivot to something to say because she can't think
Speaker 5: of what to sit right, And and then you know
Speaker 5: Walls up there saying, oh, he owns his mistakes, and
Speaker 5: he actually doesn't own any of these mistakes.
Speaker 1: Hey, I got I got five seconds. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: gotta put you off there. But no, you're you're preaching
Speaker 1: to the choir, sir. All right, get out of here
Speaker 1: and we'll be back color. Oh yeah, yeah yeah. The
Speaker 1: other Walls one, all right. I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: able to be sure we got through all of these.
Speaker 1: So our final piece of the eighteen minute puzzle, this
Speaker 1: was another Walls question. And if you remember, it was
Speaker 1: stolen Valor IVF the DWI where you pretended to be deaf.
Speaker 1: These are all big issues, and again ironically issues that
Speaker 1: I remember from I remember some of them from my
Speaker 1: time literally covering in Minnesota. In fact, the first congressional
Speaker 1: district I ever did interviews in, I ever really covered
Speaker 1: was the first district in Minnesota where Tim Walls came
Speaker 1: in with his awes shucks. I'm just a regular dude.
Speaker 1: I'm a command sergeant major, and I'm a friend of
Speaker 1: the farmers, and I'm basically a Republican, but I'm just
Speaker 1: on the side of Democrat. And he unseated Gilgutneck, who
Speaker 1: had been there for literally almost two decades as a Democrat,
Speaker 1: and Gutneck was a Republican and it's a it's a
Speaker 1: very red district, and then everything just got crazy, and
Speaker 1: so these things have been floating around. There was actually,
Speaker 1: and I had forgotten about this, he actually was on
Speaker 1: his campaign material listing fake endorsements, including the Chamber of Commerce,
Speaker 1: who had to issue a statement saying, we did not
Speaker 1: endorse you. We endorsed gilgut Neck.
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And they just kind of ignored him and then they
Speaker 1: removed it from a website and then that was that.
Speaker 1: But it shows you the level of dishonesty there. So
Speaker 1: let's get into this other big issue where while he
Speaker 1: and his wife did seek out assistance in getting pregnant
Speaker 1: the way he talked about it and the IVF procedures
Speaker 1: that he led people to believe that he had taken
Speaker 1: part in or I guess his wife.
Speaker 4: And him.
Speaker 1: Was, you know, with the whole extraction, getting the embryos ready,
Speaker 1: reimplanting the embryos, and that whole process, which of course
Speaker 1: wasn't what they did. Basically, it sounds like it was
Speaker 1: a swimmer issue, and they use what's sometimes referred to
Speaker 1: as the Turkey based or method just to get everything
Speaker 1: in there. I'll let you figure out the science there.
Speaker 1: So maybe not as egregious as the stolen valor thing,
Speaker 1: but when you're trying to emotionally connect with somebody and
Speaker 1: say that you have a shared experience, then it becomes
Speaker 1: dishonest when you're clearly misrepresenting yours. So he was asked
Speaker 1: about that, and let's see if let's see if he
Speaker 1: answers on these two issues.
Speaker 6: You had to clarify that you had said that you
Speaker 6: and your wife used I but it turned out you
Speaker 6: used a different kind of fertility in order to have children.
Speaker 6: And then when you ran for Congress in two thousand
Speaker 6: and six, your campaign repeatedly made fall statements about a
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five arrest for drunk and reckless driving. What
Speaker 6: do you say to voters who aren't sure whether they
Speaker 6: can take you at your word?
Speaker 1: By the way, because I was mean to her earlier
Speaker 1: with her obvious BS question with multiple choice, that is
Speaker 1: the correct way to ask that question. Cite the specific
Speaker 1: examples so that you know he doesn't ignore one, and
Speaker 1: then simply say, how do people trust you with this
Speaker 1: being the case? That's how you correctly ask that question.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's hear if he correctly answers it.
Speaker 8: Well, I've been very public. I think they can see
Speaker 8: my students come out, former folks I've served with, and
Speaker 8: they vouch for me. I certainly own my mistakes when
Speaker 8: I make them know they do. One thing I'll tell
Speaker 8: you is that I wished in this country wouldn't have
Speaker 8: to do this. I spoke about our infertility issues because
Speaker 8: it's hell in families know this. And I spoke about
Speaker 8: the treatments that were available to us that had those
Speaker 8: beautiful children there. That's quite a contrast in folks that
Speaker 8: are trying to take those rights away from us. And
Speaker 8: so I think people know who I am, they know
Speaker 8: that record, they've seen that I've taught thousands of students.
Speaker 8: I've been out there, and I won't apologize for peaking passionately,
Speaker 8: whether it's guns in schools or protecting your reproductive rights.
Speaker 8: The contrast could not be clear between what we're running against.
Speaker 8: The Vice President's position on this has been clear, and
Speaker 8: I think most Americans get it if you've been through that.
Speaker 8: I don't think they're cutting hairs on IVF or IUI.
Speaker 8: I think what they're cutting hairs on as an abortion
Speaker 8: ban and the ability to be able to deny FAMI,
Speaker 8: which is the chance to have a beautiful child.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the irony notwithstanding in the statement of
Speaker 1: then turning it into well they want an abortion ban
Speaker 1: and saying that somehow that will lead to more kids
Speaker 1: is will put that aside. There is not a national
Speaker 1: abortion ban even being for posed, and if there is,
Speaker 1: it's been very clear. Now he could change his mind,
Speaker 1: and then he deserves any of the criticism there if
Speaker 1: you relied on his initial point. But you've had both
Speaker 1: Vans and trump'say they they wouldn't. Trump would never sign
Speaker 1: anything like that. And on the IVF stuff, sure are
Speaker 1: there people who have moral objections to it. The official
Speaker 1: position of both the Baptist and Catholic church is one
Speaker 1: that is much more conservative than the current You know
Speaker 1: how IVF exists. That being said, I'm about ninety percent sure.
Speaker 1: As I was sitting there at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: hour listening to Kyle and Kyle and News and Fox
Speaker 1: News do the report, they would run an audio of
Speaker 1: Trump literally proposing mandatory funding for IVF. So it's it's
Speaker 1: as per usual and credibly disingenuous. And then you go
Speaker 1: to a hall somewhere where you've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: useful idiots who can't even manage to chant the name
Speaker 1: of our country, which is really simple. This is what
Speaker 1: you get. Did you see Doug Emhoff at that thing
Speaker 1: yesterday trying to get the USA champ.
Speaker 2: Going USA USA.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: You get that, and then they just stopped chanting. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it was just it's awkward because it feels
Speaker 1: so forced, It feels so incredibly forced to have that
Speaker 1: sex symbol starting this chant. Hey, not my words, that's
Speaker 1: a New York Times, so talk to them. But there
Speaker 1: is one gate that didn't get touched. There is one
Speaker 1: item that's out there, and it's the dumbest of the gates.
Speaker 1: But it's still it's a thing. Up until very recently,
Speaker 1: nobody knew that Kamala Harris worked at a McDonald's in
Speaker 1: the Bay Area at some point in the nineteen seventies,
Speaker 1: A little unclear around in it. And the reason is
Speaker 1: is because every single whether it's her her autobiography, recounts
Speaker 1: of her past where she's been laying that out, including
Speaker 1: and up to including a job, you know, resumes things
Speaker 1: like that never included any of this. But according to Harris,
Speaker 1: she was both fry cook and cashier. And there are
Speaker 1: some people who don't believe her because she's been trying
Speaker 1: to put together this image of being financially destitute growing
Speaker 1: up and having to you know, yes, even though I
Speaker 1: was I was trying to study in school, I still
Speaker 1: had to go get a job, and that there's anything
Speaker 1: wrong with that. There's a lot of people who can
Speaker 1: more than afford to send their kids to college and
Speaker 1: they still want their kids to have a job to
Speaker 1: learn responsibility. That's fine, But to never bring up any
Speaker 1: of the McDonald's stuff, and then now you did, and
Speaker 1: nobody can find any evidence of it. Why why put
Speaker 1: that out there? So I don't know, remember her not
Speaker 1: only was her family not poor, and not only were
Speaker 1: her both of her parents very very well off with
Speaker 1: the family still has financial financial interest that stem from
Speaker 1: the whole Jamaican plantation thing right there, there is some
Speaker 1: there is a revenue stream there, and there's still property owned.
Speaker 1: So the whole McDonald's thing was just weird. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't bring it up. And again it's it's really
Speaker 1: the least of I think people's concerns whether she worked
Speaker 1: at mickey D's or none. All right, anyway, eight forty
Speaker 1: four raised agic. Do you ever do fast food? Do
Speaker 1: you ever work at some fast food there? Terrorizing the children?
Speaker 1: Now your size, I don't know, you know, I was.
Speaker 9: I was fortunate, I guess you'd call it that. Did
Speaker 9: a lot of lawnmowing, not into work with a father
Speaker 9: son concrete company when I was thirteen. Business, small town,
Speaker 9: you know, you know, when you work for the contract
Speaker 9: and actually made I was making decent money, decent money
Speaker 9: even as a teenager, got on a couple of jobs
Speaker 9: with my father. He used to work for boilermakers union. Okay,
Speaker 9: so I got on a couple of summers with them.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so no, to answer your question, no, I
Speaker 1: was so yeah, okay, all dangerous weekend ahead.
Speaker 9: Huh you're not talking about the weather, are you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Do you not know what the anniversary is?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, let me go to hold on here.
Speaker 1: Listen to this audio.
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 10: Callender over there? It says August thirty, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10: I'm not sure I understand you ever hear the Bell
Speaker 10: riots faintly? It is one of the most violent civil
Speaker 10: services in American history. And it happened right here San
Speaker 10: Francisco Sanctuary District. Ay, the first week of September twenty
Speaker 10: twenty four.
Speaker 1: Look at that. So first week. Yeah, so we have
Speaker 1: the Bell rides coming out, according to Star Trek, so
Speaker 1: oh yes, I mean it's right there.
Speaker 9: It's no Drags Dragon Con down in Atlanta too, so
Speaker 9: it will be down there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think the Bell's Riots are gonna be
Speaker 1: a big deal, So.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it probably will be. Hey, it's gonna be a
Speaker 9: mess boy travel early if you are making the trip,
Speaker 9: That's what I would suggest you got that. There's a
Speaker 9: couple other festivals going on and the football game, so
Speaker 9: gonna be a ton of traffic in and around Atlanta
Speaker 9: here locally, gonna be warm human not one on one
Speaker 9: again like it was yesterday. Might feel close to that
Speaker 9: with the heat index, but probably just above load of
Speaker 9: mid nineties across the area. Some storms this afternoon and
Speaker 9: some scattered storms over the weekend. It looks like it's
Speaker 9: gonna be likely the afternoon stuff now one of the mornings.
Speaker 9: If you get a shower of storm, they'll probably be
Speaker 9: limited and temperatures will start coming down, maybe only in
Speaker 9: the little mid eighties by Labor Day early next week.
Speaker 9: Got some cool weather into I don't think I mentioned
Speaker 9: it last time, and if I did, I will in
Speaker 9: case I in the Atlantic. Now I've got two areas
Speaker 9: of interest. One's got a fifty percent chances heads towards
Speaker 9: the island islands in the next seven days, a greater
Speaker 9: un lesser antilities. The models really not doing much with that,
Speaker 9: and actually, yeah, with the a AM they've dropped that
Speaker 9: now to forty percent. So that's staying south and we'll
Speaker 9: see what happens next week or maybe even the week after,
Speaker 9: and then another wave coming off the coast twenty percent
Speaker 9: chance to developed, so maybe things that start picking up.
Speaker 9: It doesn't mean that any of these are going to develop,
Speaker 9: and even if they do, it doesn't mean they're going
Speaker 9: to impact the US. And even if they do, it
Speaker 9: doesn't give you any idea of any intensity. So we'll
Speaker 9: talk about those on Tuesday. See if there's anything left
Speaker 9: to talk about.
Speaker 1: Real quick. What's more dangerous the bells rides in San
Speaker 1: Francisco or riding the Marta after dark this weekend?
Speaker 9: Riding the Marta after dark this weekend or any weekend
Speaker 9: or any time of the day. Really yeah, close to it.
Speaker 9: I'll give you the report from my brother and sister
Speaker 9: in law. They're taking it over to our tailgate spot.
Speaker 9: So yeah, there's people take it to mar all.
Speaker 1: Right, let them borrow some protection. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: All right, flock Tuesday and we'll start back chat with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger next hang on OLOD.
Speaker 11: Morning, Casey, and Happy Friday. Latest reading on inflation largely
Speaker 11: in line with forecast. The government just reported this morning
Speaker 11: the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, known as the PCE, rose
Speaker 11: two tens percent last month. It was up two point
Speaker 11: six percent from July of last year. The PCE has
Speaker 11: been getting more attention of late because Federal Reserve officials
Speaker 11: have said it is the inflation gauge preferred by policy makers.
Speaker 11: Americans' personal incomes were up a little more than expected
Speaker 11: last month. The gain was three tenths percent, and consumer
Speaker 11: spending was up five tenths percent.
Speaker 1: That was as expected.
Speaker 11: A lot of consumers buying only what they must these days.
Speaker 11: Dollar General shares plunged yesterday. The company reported its customers
Speaker 11: have cut back. All to Beauty says demand for cosmetics
Speaker 11: is done. Lulu Lemon reported fewer people are buying expensive Yogawar.
Speaker 11: It's not all bad news from the retail sector. Shares
Speaker 11: of Best Buy and Gap did well yesterday. Both companies
Speaker 11: reported quarterly sales that were better than expected. Auto dealers
Speaker 11: are optimistic. Labor Day weekend tends to be a big weekend.
Speaker 1: For car sales.
Speaker 11: And two voice actors filed a complaint and federal court
Speaker 11: against the generative AI company eleven Labs. Carrissa Becker and
Speaker 11: Mark Boyett accused the company of creating an AI voiceover
Speaker 11: generator that mimics their voices and speaking styles, and Variety
Speaker 11: spotted this one. Tom Hanks Casey took to Instagram advising
Speaker 11: fans he is not promoting any miracle cures or wonder drugs.
Speaker 11: Hank says, fraudulent AI generated ads on the Internet are
Speaker 11: using his name, likeness, and voice without his consent.
Speaker 1: Casey. You know what's crazy about that too, is this
Speaker 1: isn't a new AI thing. These types of ads have
Speaker 1: been around for years a lot. I think a bunch
Speaker 1: of people on the Home and Garden Network basically they
Speaker 1: were getting they were trying to hunt down and they
Speaker 1: really couldn't do anything because pictures of like the hosts
Speaker 1: of some of these shows promoting you know, stuff from
Speaker 1: Timu and all it would just it was all over
Speaker 1: the internet and it was obviously wasn't them. So now
Speaker 1: that they got AI, it's just gonna get worse, is
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Great, all right, Uh, you got a
Speaker 1: big you got big plans for the three day weekend
Speaker 1: or not just extra to.
Speaker 11: Extra day with lady friends.
Speaker 1: So that'll be that will be nice. What about you?
Speaker 1: All right now? I am gonna go to the beach,
Speaker 1: so all.
Speaker 9: Right, enjoy it place Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All right? See you? Then there you go stage it
Speaker 1: from the Weather Channel, yeap beach and golf. That's how
Speaker 1: that's going down.
