Speaker 1: Working with the engineer on a couple of things. He's
Speaker 1: very excited to fix our little issue here. So all right,
Speaker 1: but uh, we'll do we'll do that later after the show.
Speaker 1: Uh So, A few things, few things I was reading
Speaker 1: some I don't tend to get super wonky and into
Speaker 1: a lot of the local races. And unless there's some quirkiness,
Speaker 1: it's not out of disinterest. Local races are really important,
Speaker 1: very important. In fact, they're so important. It's why you
Speaker 1: saw such dedicated uh so many dedicated plans uh and
Speaker 1: pivots by some big money domor especially among Democrats. All right,
Speaker 1: and this and by the way, here we're going to
Speaker 1: partisan attack. No, no, no, no, this is this is
Speaker 1: trackable and provable. And it's a strategy that that Democrats
Speaker 1: and a couple of big, big, big organizations. Yes I
Speaker 1: got to the George Soros, but the Tides.
Speaker 2: And uh you know several of those other foundations.
Speaker 1: They they did a strategy where they felt that there
Speaker 1: was more bang for their buck in local races, especially
Speaker 1: local judicial races and district attorneys races.
Speaker 2: Right, and they bragged about.
Speaker 1: It because they're very successful in doing that, getting some
Speaker 1: real moonbats in there. So they're really important.
Speaker 2: And I tend not to.
Speaker 1: Drill down unless there's something kind of weird going on
Speaker 1: or it's in some way, shape or form becomes high profile,
Speaker 1: because inevitably I get a you know, we had two
Speaker 1: hundred calls, people going, hey, I'm running for county whatever,
Speaker 1: can we get some airtime? And the answer is maybe, maybe,
Speaker 1: but we're not booking all individual stuff. That's why we
Speaker 1: do those casting calls, those open calls, so to speak. However,
Speaker 1: I was reading about one of the races in Wake County,
Speaker 1: and what I found interesting is not that there's allegations
Speaker 1: going on back and forth. That's par for the course.
Speaker 1: And then you get, you know, your mailbox gets a
Speaker 1: thousand of those high you know, high gloss, high quality
Speaker 1: little attack cards that you know you're probably using right
Speaker 1: now to keep a table up or something because they're
Speaker 1: worthless for anything else, and you know, and then those
Speaker 1: local races. However, this one, the the folks over McClatchy
Speaker 1: decided to go and analyze the race, and uh, for
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, go ahead and jump in on this
Speaker 1: one because there's this this allegations, Like one of them,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about they exist in every
Speaker 1: race darn near. So the question becomes, why, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden am I greeted with a giant explainer article. Well,
Speaker 1: it's because it's a it's a really important competitive get
Speaker 1: of a seat.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: My theory is that you know, if you're if you're
Speaker 1: news and observer, r e L for that matter, these
Speaker 1: are the races.
Speaker 2: You want to jump in on.
Speaker 1: Because you got your finger on the scale again my opinion,
Speaker 1: or why else would you break this down? So if
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't know what I'm what I'm
Speaker 1: rambling on about. And I understand not everyone lives in
Speaker 1: southern Wake County. But if you go ahead and you
Speaker 1: look at the if you go ahead and and you
Speaker 1: look at the the race, and I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: the district here real quick, House District thirty seven.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so this is.
Speaker 1: Currently held by Republican. The incumbent is is it Aaron
Speaker 1: is Eric?
Speaker 3: Party?
Speaker 1: Is it pair or party? How do I not know
Speaker 1: how to say that name all of a sudden? Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know who she is, especially for those of you
Speaker 1: live in southern and she she is running against a Democrat.
Speaker 2: There's also libertarian in the race. His name is Christopher Robinson.
Speaker 1: But the article here is about her Democratic challenger, a
Speaker 1: woman by the name of Sophia Jackson, not Sophia Sophia
Speaker 1: safiy Ah. So I'm assuming that's pronounced Sofia who's running
Speaker 1: there and the attack ads And I actually saw it
Speaker 1: because you know, I get all the press releases stuff.
Speaker 1: I saw this and it just got filed along with
Speaker 1: the one hundred others that I get sent every day,
Speaker 1: and so I found it really weird that they were
Speaker 1: doing a race. But basically it's this and most ninety
Speaker 1: percent of this is confirmed. But remember it's also about
Speaker 1: interpretation by the McClatchy folks. So I basically Sophia Jackson.
Speaker 1: They describe her in the attack ads as a Chicago
Speaker 1: slum lord.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's a charged allegation. Man, Right, Chicago is that prime
Speaker 1: example of Holy hell. Social order is broken down and
Speaker 1: nobody cares we might have Venezuelan slash Chicago gang fights
Speaker 1: coming up. So understandably, the Democrat challenger is probably going
Speaker 1: to hold more traditional or current traditional I should say,
Speaker 1: you know, great ideas for making sure that you know,
Speaker 1: kids are kept safe, because this is what it's all
Speaker 1: about kids, and one of those is she's opposed to
Speaker 1: or has been opposed to, metal detectors in schools. So
Speaker 1: obviously I think that that is a dumb position.
Speaker 2: In an if it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Mean every school has to start with the metal detector,
Speaker 1: but if you have issues someplace, this is how things happen.
Speaker 2: But rather, the focus of.
Speaker 1: This whole piece is that she she owned a rental
Speaker 1: property and I guess it was a house that was
Speaker 1: split into multiple apartments, and apparently she was the according
Speaker 1: to the City of Chicago and complaints. Now these are
Speaker 1: administrative actions, and I don't know why the paper points
Speaker 1: that out. I don't think they claimed that she was arrested,
Speaker 1: but rather she received a series of complaints in her
Speaker 1: unit over over the time that she owned it, which
Speaker 1: was occupied by children in each of these instances, not
Speaker 1: just children obviously, of doing things like uh, you know heat, Ross,
Speaker 1: if you run in a place in Chicago in the winter, well,
Speaker 1: how would you feel about heat? You'd be a big
Speaker 1: fan of heat, right December.
Speaker 3: I mean I would rather have her than not have it,
Speaker 3: you would, I would prefer to have heat?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: All right, we're right right, we're gonna right. Well, you know.
Speaker 1: What, Uh, I had some bad news for you, dude.
Speaker 1: How about how about the week of Christmas and all
Speaker 1: of that, and then you issue a thing and then
Speaker 1: still doesn't fix it and no heat from December basically
Speaker 1: most of the month of December.
Speaker 2: How about hot water? I guess it's another form.
Speaker 3: Of heat, but yeah, I'm a hot water fan.
Speaker 4: I would say probably when I take like a shower,
Speaker 4: ten percent is actually cleaning my body and ninety percent
Speaker 4: is me just in in there going wow.
Speaker 3: I love heat as you do.
Speaker 2: As you do, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: If I didn't, if I couldn't just momentarily pop my head, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even need a long shower
Speaker 1: in the morning. But what a difference just a couple
Speaker 1: minutes makes, right, even if just that little bit. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a fan too. We don't get that for
Speaker 1: three months and that's just one of the incidents here,
Speaker 1: and it just goes on and on and on.
Speaker 3: Now, can I provide my own heat by setting something
Speaker 3: on fire? Well, it's Chicago, right, so I mean whether
Speaker 3: it be frowned upon.
Speaker 1: Or no, Well, I don't know. I remember they did
Speaker 1: it that one time the whole city was cold, I guess,
Speaker 1: and and I think that they consider that a problem,
Speaker 1: so you probably shouldn't do that. And so now you
Speaker 1: have and I don't know who's sending it out, the
Speaker 1: state GOP or something.
Speaker 2: Who did I see tweet? This was it Wiley? So
Speaker 2: that's going to be state.
Speaker 1: Party, all right. So they're sending out these mailers and
Speaker 1: the news and observer decides to go ahead and get
Speaker 1: in there. So for every every little attack, ad is
Speaker 1: or are you going to do this or is it
Speaker 1: just in races that you've decided are competitive and you
Speaker 1: feel like you need to swoop in and save this
Speaker 1: because the problem is when when you have somebody who
Speaker 1: I kid you not literally, then works on behalf of kids,
Speaker 1: which which the candidate does, and you hear allegations like that,
Speaker 1: that seems a little hypocritical if you work for as
Speaker 1: she works with the head Start program.
Speaker 2: Which is you know about the kids.
Speaker 1: And then if you're running a building and you know
Speaker 1: these these issues were followed through and I guess she
Speaker 1: ended up getting rid of the building. But if you
Speaker 1: run a building in Chicago in the winter and you
Speaker 1: have kids, as your tenants. You have families in there,
Speaker 1: and you don't give them heat or hot water for
Speaker 1: extended periods of time, and yet you say you've dedicated
Speaker 1: your life to working with kids. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that's a smear. I don't know how that's a smear
Speaker 1: right there, especially because I have heard about Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: you know, getting into people going, well, why there's just
Speaker 1: a tenant, it's a rental situation then, And I've had
Speaker 1: to listen to Trumps for years.
Speaker 2: I've over the years, we've seen different different races where
Speaker 2: these became an issue.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: You know why because if you own a rental property
Speaker 1: and and you and you are literally renting to low
Speaker 1: income individuals, uh and uh, well there's a term that
Speaker 1: they would use, vulnerable, vulnerable families is what they like
Speaker 1: to use. If you're doing that, and you're also not
Speaker 1: meaning the most basic requirements and then ignoring it and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, you like, oh, ross, did you want power?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I forgot to check. Did you want power
Speaker 1: with your hot shower and your heat in the house?
Speaker 3: Yes, I would prefer to live like a modern human being.
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's fun though, right, you know, like camp
Speaker 1: But I don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if I want to go camping, yes,
Speaker 4: and face some bears. Yeah, but you know my typical
Speaker 4: day to day yeah, like power, hot water, and heat.
Speaker 4: I mean that, but that's just me.
Speaker 1: For all twelve months. Yes, Can I interest.
Speaker 3: You in I as long as I can pay for it?
Speaker 1: Yes, as well, you are paying for it's a part
Speaker 1: of your rent here. So yeah, So nine out of
Speaker 1: twelve is pretty good though, right if you if you
Speaker 1: were a Major League Baseball player and for every twelve
Speaker 1: at bats you had nine hits, they'd name the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame after you. So, you know, nine out of
Speaker 1: twelve months with any of these utilities, that's pretty good. So, like,
Speaker 1: it's what got me is not the I would never eat.
Speaker 1: I would never just do this. The reason I'm even
Speaker 1: mentioning this on the show is because it's just such
Speaker 1: a weird thing to task your your your journalists with
Speaker 1: going through and trying to shed some light on this,
Speaker 1: because how many attack ads are going on in every
Speaker 1: one of these uh these these house districts across the
Speaker 1: state of North Carolina. Full go check your you guys, know,
Speaker 1: you go to your mailbox and they immediately just turn
Speaker 1: and throw all that crap away? What made this one
Speaker 1: so special? And what, in my opinion did is I
Speaker 1: think that this is it is one of the identified
Speaker 1: districts where they think they can flip it or it's
Speaker 1: a purple district, so of course they're going to get
Speaker 1: in there and uh, and and and and.
Speaker 2: Jump to the defense. And there's there's all sorts of
Speaker 2: little tells in the story. Right.
Speaker 1: I feel like a Rosetta Stone Dakota in this stuff
Speaker 1: sometimes right where they keep pointing out that she was
Speaker 1: a slum lord.
Speaker 2: Who faced justice.
Speaker 1: Well, it was an administrative thing. Yes, I'm aware that
Speaker 1: Seal Team six and the Department of Homeland Security after
Speaker 1: watching a two hour video, uh didn't kick the door
Speaker 1: in and arrest her like she's Pablo Escobar. But that's
Speaker 1: not the issue here. The issue is you're in Chicago.
Speaker 1: You've got you know, you've got people in there that
Speaker 1: probably don't have the means to just immediately pick up
Speaker 1: and move and it it demonstrates to people in that
Speaker 1: capacity a little about your character.
Speaker 2: Oh let's see, let's see, let's see. Yah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get this little NFL stuff down. That that
Speaker 1: is uh, you know, it's a thing. How many of you,
Speaker 1: how many of you caught some of the game. I
Speaker 1: know you don't watch the Bills games ross because you're
Speaker 1: you're superstition and your Twitter thing or whatever. Do you
Speaker 1: watch other games or you just never actually watch You're
Speaker 1: just a Twitter NFL.
Speaker 3: Fan, I mean all all highlights and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but great, No, no, no, I know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's see here.
Speaker 1: I don't know did the Ravens look good or did
Speaker 1: the Chiefs look I mean or just I said say that,
Speaker 1: did the Chiefs look that good? Or did the Ravens
Speaker 1: just also look good? It was twenty seven to twenty spoilers,
Speaker 1: So oh no, it's good enough game, have no complaints.
Speaker 1: We got another game today coming up from Brazil that
Speaker 1: could be far more interesting. Right middle of the game,
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts, who's the Eagles quarterback?
Speaker 2: Drops back and it's like.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's an uncontacted Amazonian tribe, right, like,
Speaker 1: mix it up, make it yours, make it a theme.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how that's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I know the players aren't happy to be down there,
Speaker 1: which yeah, kind of sucks. You get a free trip
Speaker 1: to Brazil, but yeah, so that'll continue tonight, and it
Speaker 1: couldn't happen to two nicer teams. We sent down to uh,
Speaker 1: Brazil to play the NFL game, so that that'll be
Speaker 1: Packers they're playing tonight.
Speaker 2: And then we're we're into this thing. We are.
Speaker 1: We are rocking and rolling Panthers take on what Saints
Speaker 1: Vikings get to lose to the Giants. You can tell
Speaker 1: I'm pumped for the season. Uh, Bills are in early
Speaker 1: game two. You guys are who? You guys played Cardinals?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: I think yes, Bill's Cardinals. Just updating everyone here. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's check for Boston Paul's team, U Austin Paul. You
Speaker 1: guys play the Commanders. You play the Commanders who are
Speaker 1: in the news, I mean as Buccaneers, right, that's your team.
Speaker 1: I can't remember who you ended up with after your
Speaker 1: switch roof. If not, you play the Bengals, So alrighty
Speaker 1: and uh And then we're just into this thing. And
Speaker 1: of course we got we got some side stories emerging.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in.
Speaker 1: Due time though. Let me let me flip back over
Speaker 1: here though, so as as I'm going through and I'm
Speaker 1: just kind of doing the round up here at the
Speaker 1: end of the week as we do on Fridays. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, we're gonna chat with Pete Callender. He
Speaker 1: will join us coming up in you know, a couple
Speaker 1: hours obviously at eight oh five.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what I promised.
Speaker 1: I promised the bosses I would remind everybody remember, if
Speaker 1: you don't attend this event, we will put you on
Speaker 1: the dead to us list, So you really have no choice.
Speaker 1: One of two events coming up next week, we will retweet.
Speaker 1: So if you go to our Twitter account, two different tweets,
Speaker 1: one right, because there's gonna be links in there, one
Speaker 1: for the Triad Bourbon Tasting event and another for the
Speaker 1: Triangle Bourbon Tasting Event, which happened next week Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start the week in Greensboro next week.
Speaker 2: With my my new studio over there.
Speaker 1: That makes me sound very basy, and we'll do that event,
Speaker 1: and then on Thursday we'll do an event here in
Speaker 1: the Triangle, and there are available tickets. Now.
Speaker 2: The Triad event is gonna be a little more basic.
Speaker 1: In the sense that it's not gonna be all the
Speaker 1: full full, you know, like an overwhelming flight. But the
Speaker 1: in the in the Triangle event. Because we have a
Speaker 1: distributor partner with that, it's gonna be a little more meaty.
Speaker 1: But if you like bourbon, are you just like hanging
Speaker 1: out with folks, meeting some people and then talking about
Speaker 1: how the world's gonna end. It's what we do, and
Speaker 1: you know what, don't waste the effort. There's essentially been
Speaker 1: a silent coup around here for when they said, hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to do a listener? You know, a
Speaker 1: listener if I don't like, well, we haven't done one
Speaker 1: in a while, and I'm like sure, and instead it
Speaker 1: turned into this weird hey, thank you. It's your birthday thing,
Speaker 1: so obviously you know how much fun, how much I
Speaker 1: enjoy that, So that put a cherry on top. So
Speaker 1: if I have to suffer the birthday emails, you have
Speaker 1: to come suffer in person with me.
Speaker 2: And you don't have to drink the bourbon. It's okay.
Speaker 1: They got other stuff. If you don't drink, fine, we'll
Speaker 1: get you something else. So links for those at Casey
Speaker 1: on the radio makes you're registering for the right one
Speaker 1: or you like to drive, and that'll be next week.
Speaker 2: And the tickets, like I said, there's tickets available.
Speaker 1: They are limited, obviously, because we have to plan for
Speaker 1: all the stuff there.
Speaker 2: So once we hit that number, that'll be it.
Speaker 1: Details at Casey on the Radio, or you can go
Speaker 1: to Casey Ondradio dot com and go to our main
Speaker 1: page and if you scroll at the bottom kind of
Speaker 1: the station page, there'll be a link through. And then
Speaker 1: we have a link obviously floating around like in a
Speaker 1: bannerad right there on my page. Okay, so you see
Speaker 1: this is this is I'm not asking to do anything crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to come to a little happy hour.
Speaker 1: And he got an excuse, Hey babe, I'm going to
Speaker 1: a happy hour? Are you going to a happy hour?
Speaker 5: What? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the guy from the radio. Oh we love him,
Speaker 1: he's so smart. Yes, come to the thing. Do the
Speaker 1: thing links. It's Casey on the Radio. All right. I
Speaker 1: will hunt every one of you down if I don't
Speaker 1: see you. All right, So let me get let me
Speaker 1: get back to this. Why do you threat the listeners?
Speaker 1: You know what. It's called tough love man. So coming uh,
Speaker 1: coming up. We got to get into a few of
Speaker 1: these stories. Uh, this is a hell of a plan.
Speaker 1: I can see a giant loophole here. The Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Let's uh cracking down on drug dealer's idea?
Speaker 2: Do you want to you want to talk about some.
Speaker 1: Bad ideas man? And and I want to be clear here,
Speaker 1: I it's not I don't think it's a bad idea,
Speaker 1: especially with somebody who was early on within the judicial
Speaker 1: system to try, you know, to do deferred things.
Speaker 2: Right. Let me tell you.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about my criminal enterprise. So when
Speaker 1: I was in high school, I may or may have
Speaker 1: not been in the vicinity of small keg in a
Speaker 1: thing of wine which I didn't even actually know that
Speaker 1: was in there, in a friends truck. And somebody, uh it,
Speaker 1: she snitched on us because we may or may not
Speaker 1: have been going up to one of our big camp
Speaker 1: and mountain parties.
Speaker 2: So we did in Wyoming.
Speaker 1: And uh so anyway, and I I was hit with
Speaker 1: a very serious minor in possession charge, which I think
Speaker 1: was a fifty dollars ticket. Uh and uh yes, yes, yes, yes, Now.
Speaker 2: Did they throw me in Alcatraz?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Uh wasn't even mine.
Speaker 2: But what are you going to do?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Possession nine tenth of the law.
Speaker 1: They did a deferral program and they said, all right,
Speaker 1: and this is mostly the handle is the first time
Speaker 1: I'd ever had an issue, and they said, all right, uh,
Speaker 1: you do this, and then if you're if you're a
Speaker 1: good boy for a year, we'll go ahead and purge
Speaker 1: this thing from your record. And then you had to
Speaker 1: I had to do community service, uh, picking up trash
Speaker 1: at the parking lot near the library. And and then
Speaker 1: that was it. And and that's fine. And I never
Speaker 1: got caught again or went to a party ever, But
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. And and on a more serious side,
Speaker 1: I've watched with family members who were dealing with addiction issues,
Speaker 1: and they were stacking up some of the criminal side
Speaker 1: of it, and you know, they were willing to look
Speaker 1: at at the record, but look at you know, the
Speaker 1: escalation of it. And it was through some of those
Speaker 1: interventions and it took a while.
Speaker 2: We were able to.
Speaker 1: Extract extract them from the uh you know, the the
Speaker 1: spiral that they were going through.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't easy. But like I understand that this
Speaker 2: is not that.
Speaker 1: As District Attorney of San Francisco, Kamala Harris uh uh proposed,
Speaker 1: because this is this is your own fault. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you won't go on official public record, with some policies.
Speaker 1: People are going to look at your proposals previously and
Speaker 1: when you're pandering the San Francisco citizens, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be a plus. Harris proposed a program for drug dealers.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: The reason this is again coming up too is because
Speaker 1: she stated the other day that she is all about
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform, and she's she has been at the
Speaker 1: forefront with her time at the AG's office.
Speaker 2: So you're the one who put this in there. And
Speaker 2: what a work like this?
Speaker 1: Drug dealers would only be prosecuted after their third strike,
Speaker 1: so not third strike like you get three felonies and
Speaker 1: you go in for life.
Speaker 2: The state of California.
Speaker 1: Did, which actually was that was that was a pretty
Speaker 1: big thing that California did that years ago. Three to
Speaker 1: the three strikes and you're out.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: So let's say let's say you're selling drugs, right, you're
Speaker 1: working your corner there, you're moving the prodding, making the paper.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the words they use now, making
Speaker 1: that cheddar and here comes here comes five.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll give you.
Speaker 1: You know, you just walk. I'm just standing here, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything. And then you go through the
Speaker 1: process of them busting you under the program called Operations
Speaker 1: Safe Streets. I love the naming. Uh. The proposal would
Speaker 1: read like this, under the under the plan for prosecuting
Speaker 1: criminal drug enterprises. And these are not simple possession. I
Speaker 1: want to be very clear here. There is possession, but
Speaker 1: it's up to an including dealers, maybe not the dudes
Speaker 1: doing big weight, but for narcotic sales that are not
Speaker 1: part of a larger federal investigation, you'd have to have
Speaker 1: you have to get busted three times. So if you
Speaker 1: know you're you're Danny drug dealers standing on the corner
Speaker 1: there and the police come and they're like, hey, you're
Speaker 1: selling drugs, we've been watching you and all of that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They would then interact with you. They would confiscate your
Speaker 1: drugs and then they would write your name down and
Speaker 1: that would be it.
Speaker 3: But they'd keep that name.
Speaker 1: And then if you sold drugs again, what do you
Speaker 1: think would happen? Same corn, They come back out there,
Speaker 1: same cops, probably because this is like their jurisdic there's
Speaker 1: was it with this guy? Just so blatant. So you're
Speaker 1: right back on the corner slinging the drugs. They've already
Speaker 1: written your name down, So what do you think happens
Speaker 1: the second time? Nothing, Nah, they just they write the
Speaker 1: they write it down. Oh we had Danny drug dealer
Speaker 1: got busted again for this? This this all right?
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, do better.
Speaker 1: Then dudes out there dealing drugs is his passion.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Now he gets arrested a third time, then he gets prosecuted,
Speaker 1: and because he didn't listen the first two times, that
Speaker 1: will be taken into account as part of the charges
Speaker 1: for the third time. So you at that point you
Speaker 1: would not be eligible for deferral programs. So what you're
Speaker 1: doing is you're essentially doing kind of the thing where
Speaker 1: you do a deferral. Right, his first time, he got
Speaker 1: busted for that. Let's see if this works. You're just
Speaker 1: doing that, but you're never carrying out any of the
Speaker 1: actual punishment penalties other than I guess confiscation for the
Speaker 1: initial ones.
Speaker 2: Well, I have a question. If I'm not going to.
Speaker 1: Get busted till it's the third time you caught me
Speaker 1: selling drugs again, not possessing drugs, go big or go home. Boys.
Speaker 1: If I get three strikes, I get two freebies, right,
Speaker 1: I get two freebies selling drugs. Why wouldn't you go
Speaker 1: as big as possible. It's like you're rolling the dice here.
Speaker 1: I'm not some street level dealer. I'm gonna figure out
Speaker 1: what the max is and I'm moving weight. I am escobar.
Speaker 1: And then if you bump, you're like, oh, yeah, is
Speaker 1: that my Yeah? Is that my my MD eighty airplane
Speaker 1: out there loaded with drugs? Yeah, but it's my first
Speaker 1: time smuggling all of this. These are the kinds of
Speaker 1: ideas that they're now pulling out of the woodwork. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, And this was initially going back to two
Speaker 1: thousand and five. According to Harris at the time, this
Speaker 1: would allow narcotic sellers to immediately be released back into
Speaker 1: the streets, but the records capped of essentially the interactions,
Speaker 1: with further charges encouraged to be included. It would be
Speaker 1: up to the prosecutor after the third arrest. You ready
Speaker 1: for that, obviously. That is someone say that's a pretty
Speaker 1: permissive environment. And we have a few too many promissive
Speaker 1: environments right here. But this is good. This is the
Speaker 1: kind if you're not going to go on the record
Speaker 1: with policies. I can't wait for her to be asked
Speaker 1: about it. This is one of those ideas she was
Speaker 1: a big fan of although it's hard to ask her
Speaker 1: when she's pretending to talk on her phone, which she keeps.
Speaker 1: Do you has noticed that whenever she's getting on and
Speaker 1: off the plane, she has her phone against her ear,
Speaker 1: but people don't think she's talking to anybody. And there's
Speaker 1: a couple gibbs, like how your iPhone acts when there
Speaker 1: is a call, but also shell have like the is
Speaker 1: she had like the charging cable hanging the other day
Speaker 1: and she's on the phone one of the photos that
Speaker 1: share the phone backwards. Yeah, you know, it's absurd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like I've seen like slide shows RRE. I'm convinced
Speaker 1: that she's not on there, Like.
Speaker 3: She's holding her phone up to her head, but you
Speaker 3: can see the screen in the side.
Speaker 1: Of her Like yes, yeah, no, no, no, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Your iPhone doesn't act like that when you're
Speaker 1: on the phone with somebody. It acts like that when
Speaker 1: you when it's trying to you know, face scan you
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's not how that works. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'm thoroughly convinced she's just like I should pretend
Speaker 1: to be on the phone. Does that work? Can I
Speaker 1: use that.
Speaker 3: If dude, I do all the time here when I'm
Speaker 3: walking I was.
Speaker 1: Just gonna see all the time, dude, just I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a hat that looks like a phone taped to
Speaker 1: my head. I'm walking by, you know, you walk by
Speaker 1: the performance studio down there where they're always hold the
Speaker 1: big meetings that we don't want to get, nobody wants
Speaker 1: to go to, but you know, you do it because
Speaker 1: it's part of the gig, right, and boss trying to
Speaker 1: wave you in, you just point up to your head.
Speaker 1: You're like, can you clearly not see this phone attached
Speaker 1: to my head? It's just being done at the presidential level.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's absolutely me. I know people who, in
Speaker 1: the course of their job will do things to look busier.
Speaker 2: They will do things to.
Speaker 1: Look I got a buddy who worked He works for
Speaker 1: one of a financial institution there, and we were joking
Speaker 1: about this. He said that he when he first started
Speaker 1: and he was getting his feet wet, and he kind
Speaker 1: of apprenticed through. He's moved on, he said, in that sense,
Speaker 1: he really wanted to be in this industry and he
Speaker 1: does very well, but they don only give him so
Speaker 1: much work, and he realized he had wanted. He wanted
Speaker 1: to look like he was busy, so he had a
Speaker 1: like power points and a bunch of crider he keeps
Speaker 1: open on his computer, so at a distance it looked
Speaker 1: like he was he was planking away open in the morning.
Speaker 3: It's the George Costanza Seinfeld thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, ye see it.
Speaker 4: Every time your boss walks by, just look like you're
Speaker 4: like really upset and busy at your desk.
Speaker 1: Talk walked up. You ever walked up on a coworker
Speaker 1: who's a tab person, You know, the people who can
Speaker 1: mentally operate fifty two open tabs at a given time.
Speaker 1: Anytime I encounter somebody like that, I think you're insane.
Speaker 1: But also I have zero interest in deciphering what's on
Speaker 1: your screen now because I'm just overwhelmed by it. So
Speaker 1: like I get, I thought that was hilarious, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's smart because in the same way that you're probably
Speaker 1: being the irresponsibly judged for your work output and they're
Speaker 1: not assigning you enough work to keep you busy, and
Speaker 1: they're squandering your internship. So what I said, but now
Speaker 1: now you're the guy running interns, so yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 1: better learn the tricks, So any who will continue onto this,
Speaker 1: We've got to talk about Brazil and not just for
Speaker 1: the football.
Speaker 2: That's that's turning in too much more of a thing.
Speaker 1: And some dude in North Carolina found a loophole and
Speaker 1: it was quite profitable. I just don't understand how it exists.
Speaker 1: All that more coming up, and yes, Hunter Biden, we'll
Speaker 1: speculate as to what he'll do from a prison standpoint.
Speaker 2: Next hang on, talk about a little.
Speaker 1: Insanity, you know, down down Charlotte Way, and that's that's
Speaker 1: always a fun way to end the week. And of course,
Speaker 1: uh a roundup of many of the fun stories.
Speaker 2: So uh that'll be uh.
Speaker 1: Like I said, an hour from now, I have I
Speaker 1: have a little question for the NFL. I was I
Speaker 1: was asking ross this and then I ran out of time,
Speaker 1: but I just I did want to mention this. You
Speaker 1: had your opening game yesterday. You had your opening game,
Speaker 1: uh yesterday, and it's people's first taste who are NFL
Speaker 1: fans or enjoy it. And by the way, if you
Speaker 1: are not a fan and you want to call and
Speaker 1: tell me how you're boycotting it, don't care. I mean
Speaker 1: it's fine for you and that and that's fine. And
Speaker 1: if you do something you want a boycott, you want
Speaker 1: to send a message, it's no disrespect.
Speaker 2: Do your thing.
Speaker 1: But but I don't waste my time if uh and uh,
Speaker 1: because we're not gonna we're not gonna have a big
Speaker 1: discussion about let's boy cut the NFL. If you want
Speaker 1: to boycott him, that's fine. And if you want to
Speaker 1: boycott him for the absolute ruining of the first few
Speaker 1: minutes of the NFL season because I don't know what
Speaker 1: the what the refs are thinking. Uh, you go ahead
Speaker 1: and do that the reason that you open the NFL
Speaker 1: season And in most cases, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: a hard and fast rule, but it's definitely how they
Speaker 1: do stuff.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: With the with whoever.
Speaker 1: Won the Super Bowl along with another good team is
Speaker 1: you don't want to put a you don't want to
Speaker 1: put a turt out there, right, They're never going to
Speaker 1: open the season with, you know, the the Browns playing
Speaker 1: the I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't even mean to pick.
Speaker 1: On the Browns, but you know what I mean, that's
Speaker 1: not that's not gonna be your marquee opening thing. You
Speaker 1: put the big boys up there so people are tuning
Speaker 1: in and what would you rather watch? There's very few
Speaker 1: people except for NFL coaches and players on the defense
Speaker 1: who want to watch. Uh, you know, a three to
Speaker 1: seven shootout or a defensive shootout, right, those are boring
Speaker 1: games unless you took the under I guess, but I'll
Speaker 1: work gambling in. Uh, but those are boring games. I
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see a game, whether
Speaker 1: out their scoring or at the very least they're making
Speaker 1: some amazing plays. And and you get people excited with that.
Speaker 1: And yesterday and it was so weird. Uh, I don't
Speaker 1: did they did they hire refs and then teach them
Speaker 1: with a two hour video like the Secret.
Speaker 2: Service to go ahead?
Speaker 1: And uh? And and do this because on the opening
Speaker 1: drive for the Ravens they called illegal formation three times
Speaker 1: and it was just yellow flag and I'm all right,
Speaker 1: can we just get this going? And then both yellow
Speaker 1: flag and one dude got called twice in the in
Speaker 1: the in the same drive. Was that Staley who did that?
Speaker 1: The point is there was that there was clearly some
Speaker 1: time out shenanigans and uh, they all seem to hit
Speaker 1: Baltimore really weird, and it just kills the momentum. And
Speaker 1: if that's what the season is gonna be where the
Speaker 1: it's not about the two teams, but it's about the
Speaker 1: three teams, you know, the two teams playing and then
Speaker 1: the team of officials. That's the stuff people hate. I
Speaker 1: understand the safety concerns and all that stuff, but give
Speaker 1: me a break the NFL, the NFL any standard given
Speaker 1: NFL play, you could all you could, almost every time
Speaker 1: argue some sort of penalty.
Speaker 2: It'll be a blocking thing.
Speaker 1: It'll be uh, you know, one of one of the
Speaker 1: more basic ones that gets your favorite touchdown called back.
Speaker 1: You can do that holding. You could find holding or
Speaker 1: make an argument damn near every play, but you don't
Speaker 1: do it. You give them.
Speaker 2: You've heard the term, you know, let them let them play.
Speaker 1: It's like that in basketball, it's like that in football.
Speaker 1: And I almost turned it off in you know, if
Speaker 1: five minutes into the NFL season, could I just get
Speaker 1: annoyed with that stuff? And that's what we were treated to.
Speaker 1: And I do think it's interesting that the whoopsies as
Speaker 1: I see them, seem to mostly go in one direction,
Speaker 1: like you would think if they were out there officiating,
Speaker 1: and and even if they were calling one of those
Speaker 1: games like a tight strike zone kind of thing with
Speaker 1: the NFL version of it, that both teams would be
Speaker 1: equally dealing with the you know, these little nitpicky things.
Speaker 1: And it was like, Nope, goes against the Ravens. Oh again,
Speaker 1: here they go again, Here they go again. I can't
Speaker 1: figure from the video what the illegal formation was in
Speaker 1: two of.
Speaker 2: Those three.
Speaker 1: And and and then the chiefs come in and they're like,
Speaker 1: oh no, Mahome's gonna have a chain saw.
Speaker 2: That's fine.
Speaker 1: Now you win that, you win a Super Bowl, you
Speaker 1: get a chain site can run around with that thing.
Speaker 1: So that's a little frustrating, but you know, you still
Speaker 1: starve for football action, so you keep watching, all right,
Speaker 1: who wants to solve a mystery? He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: solve them? Miss Let's can we solve a mystery? This
Speaker 1: one's gonna be pretty tough, though, I'm just warning you,
Speaker 1: pretty tough because now an entire nation, an entire extended nation,
Speaker 1: when you know, bring about European Union, folks in the
Speaker 1: in the world watching what transpired on the streets of
Speaker 1: London here over the last month, right, you had a
Speaker 1: very high prison of high profile incidents. You had a
Speaker 1: bunch of kids that were a U what was it
Speaker 1: a Taylor Swift dance class? Obviously not with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: But they're just just kids. They want to dance to
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift songs. I don't get it, but you know,
Speaker 1: I get why kids get it. That's great, that's innocent,
Speaker 1: that's something you do. And then what do they get
Speaker 1: for their troubles? A bunch of them get murdered, stabbed
Speaker 1: A knife crime is to the point where you have
Speaker 1: like sharpened spoon amnesty boxes. You got a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff going on there, and I don't purport to understand
Speaker 1: it fully from the ground, as I don't live there.
Speaker 1: But when I see the policies and I see the
Speaker 1: brazenness of protesters, including counter protesters that will escalate, you know,
Speaker 1: stuff to violence, it does not surprise me that people
Speaker 1: who purport to be fed up with stuff will come
Speaker 1: out and some of them will do violent things, And
Speaker 1: to be clear, I don't think any of them should.
Speaker 1: But you then watch a very two tiered response from
Speaker 1: the new idiots in charge over there, right where they are, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we will extra.
Speaker 2: I have to say it out loud because it's so stupid.
Speaker 1: If you are a British citizen or even if you're
Speaker 1: not and we feel that you violated, are you know,
Speaker 1: don't hurt people's feelings of legislation over here. We want
Speaker 1: we'll we'll extradite you, which is crap they're threatening to do.
Speaker 1: So with all of that in mind, the Guardian decided
Speaker 1: to go ahead and take a look at the thing
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you know this. They've had
Speaker 1: are you light coverage of some of the big incidents
Speaker 1: that people say that they're they're concerned about, but a
Speaker 1: lot of coverage when people are out there smashing windows
Speaker 1: and doing all that, which again I might cover them both. Well,
Speaker 1: now Keir Starmer has once again, because it's literally been
Speaker 1: a month since.
Speaker 2: You saw some of these bigger riots.
Speaker 1: Uh he has, he has warned of elevated consequences and
Speaker 1: a judge has worn't citizens will now be arrested.
Speaker 2: For casually observing rioting.
Speaker 1: Uh So the Guardian decided we better get in this
Speaker 1: thing all right. So here's the article, Racism, question mark, poverty,
Speaker 1: drink and social media. We still don't know why Britain's
Speaker 1: rioted a month ago and we need answers. So the
Speaker 1: Guardian newspaper and all these these little want to be dictators,
Speaker 1: EU lovers and other progresses over in the UK system
Speaker 1: there who love all this free speech clampdown stuff. You
Speaker 1: don't know why people are mad because this is this
Speaker 1: is the thing it was, and we talked about this.
Speaker 1: If if people feel that they're at a breaking point
Speaker 1: for whatever it is, whether it's you know, a BLM
Speaker 1: thing or you don't feel that there's justice within police
Speaker 1: and uh, and you not not just ignore it, but
Speaker 1: you never even look into it, or we'll have that conversation,
Speaker 1: then you're not going to do anything to appease people.
Speaker 1: And if you pretend like there's not an issue, you
Speaker 1: can't understand why they're mad, you're doing the gas lighting
Speaker 1: that we see over we see in the US all
Speaker 1: the time. Right, people are sitting there and they're looking
Speaker 1: at a weaponized DJ and then they show up to
Speaker 1: do stuff and and they there's an outsized treatment to
Speaker 1: the way that the law handles them. You're in the
Speaker 1: UK and you can't figure out why British citizens are
Speaker 1: are going out and for the most part not rioting,
Speaker 1: but a bunch are because you know opportunity there and
Speaker 1: and you you want to pretend like you don't understand
Speaker 1: why it is, and it's because it is. You can't
Speaker 1: say it out loud, you can't sit there and you know,
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say you're in a room that's filling
Speaker 1: up with water.
Speaker 2: Right, you don't do something, you're gonna drown.
Speaker 1: And I want to be very clear here, this comes
Speaker 1: down to how it plays out on the ground. Like
Speaker 1: you can love the idea of let's move in you know,
Speaker 1: a huge swath of people and fundamentally overnight change the
Speaker 1: demographics of an area because people are people, There's there's
Speaker 1: gonna be stuff there. You can say you're gonna do
Speaker 1: that and there's not going to be fallout from it.
Speaker 1: But you can't because there's there's too many examples that
Speaker 1: we have both over in the UK and in the
Speaker 1: US with these Venezuelan gangs where it is clear that
Speaker 1: you have you have a significant number of people. They
Speaker 1: asked me, there's a thousand of these Venezuelan gang members
Speaker 1: in the US. Now that if you pretend they're not
Speaker 1: there because you feel it detracts from your larger point
Speaker 1: and you never address it. That's why people are getting med.
Speaker 1: So I'm helping you out, Guardian. That would be my
Speaker 1: theory on all of this, And you can tell them
Speaker 1: they're wrong. That's the other thing too. You can go
Speaker 1: and get him with statistics too, and if your statistics
Speaker 1: hold up, that's how you do it. Well, yes, you're right,
Speaker 1: crime is up here, but not among blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But there's so much spin and there's so much willful
Speaker 1: ignorance in this stuff. This is this is if you
Speaker 1: can't figure out why a bunch of drunk UK dudes
Speaker 1: as well as soccer hooligans and mass waving flags from
Speaker 1: the Crusades are are standing out there. You don't like
Speaker 1: the theater of it, and you can go in and
Speaker 1: the ledge all the racism you want, but the reality
Speaker 1: is you have a lot of people that have very
Speaker 1: silently said the way that you're going about this is
Speaker 1: is is not done so in a way as to
Speaker 1: create an integrated society. You can think diversity is your strength,
Speaker 1: as long as you understand that it also requires a
Speaker 1: certain amount of integration. Right, you got to be on
Speaker 1: the same page. Look at everywhere in the world where
Speaker 1: you have and have running massive conflict and it's because
Speaker 1: on a very key issue, a very key issue which
Speaker 1: some may argue as the most important issue in their lives,
Speaker 1: are definitively not on the same page.
Speaker 2: Whether it is the you know, the different.
Speaker 1: Versions of Islam, which largely fuels inter Middle East interviolence. Right,
Speaker 1: that's the that was That's really what that's the secret
Speaker 1: sauce that made a racturn was a Saddam keeping that
Speaker 1: whole thing where you had the minority Islam, this party
Speaker 1: essentially subjugating the other one.
Speaker 2: It was and so but you always kept him.
Speaker 1: Fueled because if you're a dictator, you got to keep
Speaker 1: your boys loyal. If it plays out in the streets
Speaker 1: where you have a bunch of people coming in and
Speaker 1: it is such a large influx, and then there one
Speaker 1: looks to be preferential treatment on the part of people
Speaker 1: who are already there. And then you couple it with
Speaker 1: the inability of them to culturally understand each other. This
Speaker 1: is what you get. This is that you get these
Speaker 1: separated sections. And it's not the cute stuff like when
Speaker 1: you go to New York and let's go to little Italy,
Speaker 1: all right, you go to little Italy, They're happy to
Speaker 1: see you there. Well, I don't know, they're New Yorkers.
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever happy. But you know what I mean, and
Speaker 1: and and and that's it. But again, what what drives
Speaker 1: this forward is a shared fundamental understanding and an agreement.
Speaker 1: And in the US, our agreement used to be the Constitution. Right,
Speaker 1: you come over here, let's do our thing. But you
Speaker 1: need to understand that. You know, see these right here,
Speaker 1: these are fundamentally rights. I didn't give them to you, No,
Speaker 1: not even the guys you found this place did. God did.
Speaker 1: That's how That's how we wrote it. That's what we think.
Speaker 1: We think that these fundamental rights are above and beyond
Speaker 1: the rules of man. It is little the separation in
Speaker 1: the Caesar rendering part of the Bible, and that's how
Speaker 1: we act. And then and then folks would uh generally
Speaker 1: go in there. And then you get the actual melting pot,
Speaker 1: which is romanticized in this situation, that is not being accomplished.
Speaker 1: And it's not being accomplished because it is such a
Speaker 1: large number of people. There is no incentive. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: if you bring up language. If I told you listening
Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app in some foreign country that if
Speaker 1: you came to the US, that your experience would be
Speaker 1: remarkably better if you spoke English. That's a microaggression. That's dumb.
Speaker 1: That's dumb. That is one of that's one of the
Speaker 1: truest things to be able to speak the language that
Speaker 1: is the primarily the one that is used to do business,
Speaker 1: interact and in many cases govern and and and then
Speaker 1: to not provide any incentive for people to do that,
Speaker 1: you're doing them a disservice. And you create these environments
Speaker 1: where people do take to the streets and the Guardian
Speaker 1: you can, oh, we don't, we don't know. The reason
Speaker 1: is is because they're sitting there and they are looking
Speaker 1: at the where they lived and around them. And it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily out of racism.
Speaker 2: Some of it is.
Speaker 1: There's some super racist people out there who are loving
Speaker 1: every minute of this. Twitter will prove that to you
Speaker 1: right now. However, most people, they honestly, they really truly
Speaker 1: don't care in the big sense. But they just want
Speaker 1: things not to change. That's the beauty of getting older,
Speaker 1: how curmudgeonly, I don't want.
Speaker 2: Things to change.
Speaker 1: And so when you make big fundamental changes and you
Speaker 1: appear to be showing favoritism to the people whose money
Speaker 1: you're using to do it, that's why they're doing it.
Speaker 1: You know what, Guardian hire me as a consultant. This
Speaker 1: is too easy, but to put out a piece of racism, poverty, drinking,
Speaker 1: social media. We still don't know why Britain's were rioting.
Speaker 1: Then they're gonna do it again because now you've just
Speaker 1: told them we didn't hear you. Hang on.
Speaker 2: In the world of talk.
Speaker 1: Radio, there's a couple topics that really really get people
Speaker 1: fired up.
Speaker 2: And it's good. That's fine.
Speaker 1: You can't do them all the time and in great depth,
Speaker 1: because then you're it would just be your show because
Speaker 1: the people who are really into this, understandably are really
Speaker 1: into it. That being said, I think it's an appropriate
Speaker 1: time to get into regulations, laws, and criminal prosecutions surrounding
Speaker 1: gun violence. I know I sound like a moon bat han,
Speaker 1: but hear me out. So the father of the fourteen
Speaker 1: year old alleged shooter down in Georgia has now been
Speaker 1: charged in the very similar fashion to the parents being
Speaker 1: charged up there in Michigan. And I think this is
Speaker 1: an interesting topic, but also I think it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: it's pretty one sided here, and so I want to
Speaker 1: follow me down this rabbit hole and and let's go.
Speaker 1: Because I'm always thinking too. Because they are so intellectually
Speaker 1: dishonest in the way that they do things, you have
Speaker 1: to be very thoughtful about anything. For those of you
Speaker 1: who honestly believe that all GOP are monsters, because they
Speaker 1: won't even make this one little tweak to this one
Speaker 1: law having to do with firearms. The reason that so
Speaker 1: many people are hesitant is because every single time.
Speaker 2: They have they were.
Speaker 1: Given an inch, they've taken a thousand miles because you're
Speaker 1: dealing with the constituously protected activity. So yeah, people are
Speaker 1: snake bit on that, and it's why if you even
Speaker 1: if you think one little thing might be reasonable, people
Speaker 1: have such objections. However, I'm not objectionable to accountability. It's
Speaker 1: a hallmark of the criminal justice system. So if we
Speaker 1: agree something is criminal and it is not constitutionally protected,
Speaker 1: then let's have that discussion. So question number one, do
Speaker 1: you think charging parents of school shooters is a is
Speaker 1: a viable strategy going forward? Now, the argument would be, well,
Speaker 1: what it's going to tell parents that you can't just
Speaker 1: ignore the problem.
Speaker 2: You think there's something wrong with your kids?
Speaker 1: All right, that's a good argument because you know, in
Speaker 1: those cases if you have weapons in the house and
Speaker 1: you don't secure them and your fourteen year old get
Speaker 1: a hold of him, and all he does is run
Speaker 1: around drawing the pictures of you know, dead other students
Speaker 1: and telling you who's going to do it, and you
Speaker 1: don't do anything. Yeah, I I you can convince me
Speaker 1: that there is criminal, criminal negligence there. However, you got
Speaker 1: to go on. You got to go on the whole
Speaker 1: ride with me, okay, and the whole ride is this.
Speaker 1: So not only are they alleging that the father should
Speaker 1: have known that is something that work right there, they're
Speaker 1: basing that off of previous interactions that school officials and
Speaker 1: FBI and local law enforcement where they.
Speaker 2: Knew about it.
Speaker 1: And so my question becomes because initially, when you had
Speaker 1: incidents with this fourteen year old allegedly come up, they
Speaker 1: did look into it.
Speaker 2: At school and they didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: So you did an investigation and you went it's not
Speaker 1: really we can't really jump in here, and you're the
Speaker 1: arbiters of law and order. So how that father then
Speaker 1: read it? And I'm not making an excuse a lot
Speaker 1: of people are very irresponsible with guns, and it's very
Speaker 1: irritating as somebody tries to be a responsible gun owner,
Speaker 1: But how about the people who literally are on the job,
Speaker 1: supposed to be at the schools seeing these things intervening
Speaker 1: And from a law enforcement perspective, when there is something
Speaker 1: that is chargeable, if only to you know, get the
Speaker 1: ball rolling on dealing with somebody who is not right,
Speaker 1: keeps making threats.
Speaker 2: And there's been all sorts of incidents.
Speaker 1: Is creeping everybody out, and you don't do anything in
Speaker 1: a way you're telling that, you're telling the fantly the
Speaker 1: behavior is not criminal, and maybe it's not. But my
Speaker 1: question is if dad can be charged for making available
Speaker 1: those guns due to a dereliction of duty, how come
Speaker 1: you can't be charged school officials? Yeah, see that's the
Speaker 1: hander and they were rolling into the room. How how
Speaker 1: come because these charges are predicated not on dad being
Speaker 1: part of the conspiracy. Are he's sitting with his kid
Speaker 1: at the you know they're eating cheerios. You got a
Speaker 1: big day to day. Remember you're shooting up the school today.
Speaker 1: I got your guns all packed. That's not what the charges.
Speaker 1: The charge is aid available firearms which were later used
Speaker 1: in the commission of this horrific crime. So just like
Speaker 1: they charged the Michigan parents. Now they're going to charge
Speaker 1: that here, I I what do you think of that?
Speaker 1: Do you think parents should have liability if it's so,
Speaker 1: if they so blatantly dropped the ball, and if you
Speaker 1: do and and by the way, we charge people with
Speaker 1: criminal offenses without without them intending to do it all
Speaker 1: the time, all the time. There were many charges, yes,
Speaker 1: even up to an including murder and manslaughter. If you
Speaker 1: work in a medical environment and you have a responsibility
Speaker 1: to clean, you know, clean stuff and everybody, and now
Speaker 1: you're the you you're the angel of death or whatever
Speaker 1: because it's so irresponsible how your clinics being operated. Those
Speaker 1: people do get charged with crimes. It has to rise
Speaker 1: to that level. But what what they were shown was
Speaker 1: to be criminally uh you know, you see they were
Speaker 1: so criminally darely and their duty that this happened. So
Speaker 1: if you're going to charge it, the father is derelict
Speaker 1: in his duty. Can I also suppose that school officials
Speaker 1: who were notified this kid was unnotice the family was,
Speaker 1: you know, like they knew that there was stuff going on.
Speaker 1: How come you're not charging the school officials. Now coming
Speaker 1: down to Florida, they didn't throw that one officer who
Speaker 1: ran and hidden there could you could make a better
Speaker 1: argument at the very least he did intend to run away.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, where does the responsibility end? And if you're
Speaker 1: telling me that in this one instance within our schooling system,
Speaker 1: this is the only instance that you moonbats thay because
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on the parents, when in every other
Speaker 1: controversial discussion you have advocated for the state being able
Speaker 1: to snatch kids out of homes because the parents won't
Speaker 1: let them transition because they're eleven and their friends suggested
Speaker 1: it and now they're on board. Lord, where does your
Speaker 1: responsibility lie? So eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 1: eight seven four do you think parents who make available
Speaker 1: and then should there have to be noticed there a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old b versus that fourteen year old were
Speaker 1: incredibly different individuals when it came to firearms. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you at fourteen, I had I and
Speaker 1: earlier than I have had access to an arsenal my
Speaker 1: life arsenal. And you know what, never shot up as school,
Speaker 1: never shot anybody else. So you can't even just do
Speaker 1: it on the age. What do you do? And it
Speaker 1: would it be appropriate if you're if you're a school counselor, right,
Speaker 1: and you got a folder a mile thick, and I
Speaker 1: understand that bureaucracy's bureaucracy, but if you also have to
Speaker 1: figure out that eventually, at some point, it's not just
Speaker 1: about helping that fourteen year old, It's about an obligation
Speaker 1: of safety that you have to the rest of that school.
Speaker 1: And you don't do anything, or in like in Parkland, Florida,
Speaker 1: where he had thirty eight individual reactions or interactions with
Speaker 1: law enforcement and school officials over criminal matters and nobody
Speaker 1: did anything, how come you're not charged. You want this responsibility.
Speaker 1: You want to be able to tell parents that they
Speaker 1: have to literally get their kids neutered if if the
Speaker 1: kid wants it, you're willing to flex that level of responsibility.
Speaker 1: Where's your responsibility for this? Where's the responsibility that you
Speaker 1: have for your sheer in neptness and unwillingness to address
Speaker 1: this situation. And arguably Dad in this case, and again
Speaker 1: I'm not as lawyer, I'm not making excuses for him.
Speaker 1: Dad in this case could make the argument that, well,
Speaker 1: look where there was this incident, you guys investigated and
Speaker 1: you decided that it was not a criminal incident. So
Speaker 1: I took that to me and that my kid wasn't
Speaker 1: a potential school shooter. I don't know he's going to
Speaker 1: make that argument, but I could understand it. But if
Speaker 1: you charge with people keeping people safe in schools, want
Speaker 1: to start charging others who have unknowing, you know, unindicted
Speaker 1: co conspirators, so to speak, just based on negligence, then
Speaker 1: buckle in because it needs to be the same for everybody,
Speaker 1: especially when you're among those that want to If you
Speaker 1: know who don't think the parents should be the primary
Speaker 1: people telling how to raise kids, fine, you're on the hook.
Speaker 1: So you charge individuals within that that that chain there
Speaker 1: who you know either didn't investigator I he'll grow out
Speaker 1: of it. Right there, They didn't intend for people to
Speaker 1: get killed, but through their own inaction, people got killed.
Speaker 1: And if that's the argument you want to make, I
Speaker 1: would say I'm in.
Speaker 2: For all of it.
Speaker 1: Or none of it, or you get a standard more
Speaker 1: so than just my kid did the shooting. We had
Speaker 1: guns in the house, we didn't lock them. You got
Speaker 1: you have to have something more that more there, And
Speaker 1: if people just chose not to deal with it, this
Speaker 1: is what you get. I'm sick of hearing well, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the FBI was, Yeah, they were totally yeah, they knew them.
Speaker 1: You're talking about kids, man, So you know, let's let's
Speaker 1: see what you think. Let's first get rased agic from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. We'll get your calls here in the
Speaker 1: next segment. What is up, my friend, I'm buch Stacy.
Speaker 5: How are you doing today?
Speaker 2: God's so over the season?
Speaker 1: Did you want to Why do I get to see
Speaker 1: nine flags for procedural in the first drive for the Ravens.
Speaker 2: I think that it's not going to be the year
Speaker 2: of the refs again. I just can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know, I yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 5: wear the white shoes next time, right, I guess that's
Speaker 5: what some people are saying with the toe on the
Speaker 5: line there at I just na almost right.
Speaker 1: It was no And you know, if you just looked
Speaker 1: at the post score, you should be like, all right,
Speaker 1: but that was a pretty good game. They're good teams, right.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see a seven to three defensive
Speaker 1: battle for the for the you know, for the first.
Speaker 2: Game of the season. They didn't do that.
Speaker 1: But but you know, just repetitive, repetitive, first five minutes.
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, would you shut up? I can't.
Speaker 1: I looked at I can't figure out what the what
Speaker 1: the procedural violation was.
Speaker 5: The third time, Yeah, I get a little flot you
Speaker 5: know how the first few games go. It'll be floppy.
Speaker 5: It'll be floppy this weekend. I don't know about tonight
Speaker 5: and wherever they're playing in Brazil. That's interesting, but you know,
Speaker 5: we'll see. But this weekend tar Heel in.
Speaker 2: The jungle is actually literally in the rain forest.
Speaker 5: They probably but I don't. But I don't think any
Speaker 5: rain in the forecast at least that's what the last
Speaker 5: check what I what I scene and not much locally.
Speaker 5: Bigh schoot ball games tonight in good shape, tar Hills
Speaker 5: in town tomorrow afternoon and evening. I can't leave out
Speaker 5: a passing shower, but if it is there, it won't
Speaker 5: last long. RE really not too concerned about that. So
Speaker 5: you know, all although we're pretty decent shape, the weather's
Speaker 5: going to be nice. Got a little bit of a
Speaker 5: cool downcoming, a little fog this morning, up for seventies,
Speaker 5: low eighties today, Tomorrow probably only reaching the upper seventies,
Speaker 5: low eighties again and then near sixty at night with
Speaker 5: fifties around and once again a small chance of the
Speaker 5: passing shower. But Sunday looks beautiful, load of bit seventies
Speaker 5: for daytime highs and plenty of sunshine and a forecast
Speaker 5: and then warming up again next week is go back
Speaker 5: above eighty. Maybe it was the middle eighties for the
Speaker 5: Triangle by Wednesday. So the cool lights and the warm
Speaker 5: days coming up, not much rain over the next few
Speaker 5: and looking pretty good for any football games this weekend.
Speaker 5: Wakes in town seven o'clock, you know, maybe maybe a
Speaker 5: shower doesn't look like anything, not too significant. And of
Speaker 5: course over at Death Valley tomorrow night, I'll be there again.
Speaker 5: Not much of a chance of rain, should be should
Speaker 5: be a pretty good shape against that state.
Speaker 1: By the way, you guys didn't hear this. It was
Speaker 1: before so Ross said or Ross said, Ray said that
Speaker 1: if Clemson loses any games this year, he will eat
Speaker 1: dog poop out of a Red Solo Cup.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I didn't say that, but some but somebody did
Speaker 5: say that, didn't.
Speaker 2: That was you? Yeah, you mean that would be the game?
Speaker 2: No social media accounts anymore?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so.
Speaker 2: You're raised on the record. There you go. We'll talk
Speaker 2: in the next hour, sir.
Speaker 5: Have a good one.
Speaker 1: All right there you go, Oh look at that. Some
Speaker 1: of you are sniffed out by slip slope already with
Speaker 1: this topic. Well, good for you. We'll get your calls next.
Speaker 2: Hang on.
Speaker 1: Charge parents, and you could convince me that there is.
Speaker 1: But if simple dereliction of providing access to a firearm
Speaker 1: is a chargeable offense with no you know, no help
Speaker 1: and maybe even no warning in some instance, then everyone
Speaker 1: in the food chain who is tasked with keeping schools safe?
Speaker 1: Why is that not the discussion? And that's that's where
Speaker 1: I'm at here, because I think you could, really you can,
Speaker 1: like everything else, you can use a rule or a
Speaker 1: law like this to go after parents to accomplish other
Speaker 1: things that you want on Second Amendment issues.
Speaker 2: Right, you want to terrify.
Speaker 1: If you terrify enough parents that they won't even take
Speaker 1: their kids to the range because they just don't want
Speaker 1: to deal with that, you harm the future of shooting, sports,
Speaker 1: hunting and things like that. And I'm not being over
Speaker 1: toly dramatic, I promise you somebody in a think take
Speaker 1: thinks that it's a good idea.
Speaker 2: It's why they do.
Speaker 1: Things like, we can't get the death penalty thrown away,
Speaker 1: so we'll create, like in North Carolina, a quagmire where
Speaker 1: nothing happens or will sue drug companies, so it's not
Speaker 1: worth them to do business. It is a dishonest way
Speaker 1: to accomplish what you're going after. But if you think
Speaker 1: it's good for one of the parties involved, shouldn't it
Speaker 1: be good for the rest?
Speaker 2: John, what's up?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 7: You're You're absolutely right. I couldn't agree with you more.
Speaker 7: But I need I think they need to look at
Speaker 7: all all of the people, like you said, they need
Speaker 7: to look at law enforcement. This Dad took the advice
Speaker 7: of them by them saying that they found nothing wrong
Speaker 7: and now they want to come back and they want.
Speaker 1: To charge And said, yeah, I don't think they said
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, just to be clear, but they didn't. They
Speaker 1: didn't treat it in a manner with the importance that
Speaker 1: have probably deserved.
Speaker 2: And Dad may have taken a read.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's going to say that, but
Speaker 1: that's the thought that crossed my mind.
Speaker 7: So right, and I do believe that it's detrimental to
Speaker 7: to all of us for all our shooting, sports, hunting
Speaker 7: and our children that want to have I want to
Speaker 7: participate that stuff.
Speaker 5: They're going to scare us all away.
Speaker 1: And and thanks for the calling, John, and and seriously,
Speaker 1: you want basic control of the kid, then you get
Speaker 1: the basic responsibility. Now most of you listen, if you
Speaker 1: listen long enough, you know that I'm kind of tongue
Speaker 1: in cheek here because I want laws that are easy
Speaker 1: to understand and standards that's you know, whether you're on
Speaker 1: the right side of it. And the problem is here
Speaker 1: is this is another law that is very up to
Speaker 1: whatever moonback prosecutors there, and so it wouldn't work. It's
Speaker 1: so I started with a little bit of a fib.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can functionally make it work unless
Speaker 1: you have it without defining standards.
Speaker 2: Cam real quick, what's up?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, okay, see we got a lot in common.
Speaker 8: You grew up just like my sons grew up.
Speaker 5: I have three boys.
Speaker 8: We are out here in rural Jallas County. We're able
Speaker 8: to have our own little.
Speaker 5: Range in the backyard.
Speaker 8: We should be, you know, they thought that would be beguns,
Speaker 8: you know. And and if any of my sons, if
Speaker 8: I thought they had a mental illness, I would stop
Speaker 8: either one at whichever one it was from having access
Speaker 8: to a weapon quickly. And but that's that's a that's
Speaker 8: the father's responsibility, of parents responsibility. But when it comes
Speaker 8: to you know, the law, you look at what offshooters
Speaker 8: allow people to walk right out of the court room
Speaker 8: after they've been charged.
Speaker 1: Here on the CaCO Day radio program where we're having
Speaker 1: big intellectual discussions about parental responsibility and perhaps others responsibility
Speaker 1: in the event of a mass shooting and donuts. So
Speaker 1: to continue those conversations and much more, we welcome in
Speaker 1: our radio Buddy.
Speaker 2: To the South. It's Pete Calender WBT middays.
Speaker 1: Hey you doing, sir, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 6: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 1: You like donuts? You find of donuts?
Speaker 6: I mean I like them. I don't eat them though.
Speaker 1: But you could, okay, So to avoid eating them, though,
Speaker 1: if you were to walk in, if you were to
Speaker 1: walk into one of these events that we end up
Speaker 1: at and they got you know, the standard food spread
Speaker 1: on the table, you would know which are the donuts?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: Yes, I can I believe successfully identified donuts on a table.
Speaker 3: Yeah I have.
Speaker 2: I'm now being told that it is near.
Speaker 1: It is near impossible with this whole stupid Timwall donut
Speaker 1: Gate thing. Are you following this story on your big show.
Speaker 6: Donut Gate? Oh don't. Yeah, donut shop that that he
Speaker 6: he closed down during COVID went out of business.
Speaker 1: You're giving away, you're giving away some of the it's
Speaker 1: it's so much more than so sorry jd. Vance went
Speaker 1: into a donut shop and you know how it is
Speaker 1: when you're trying to pick out twelve but there's only.
Speaker 6: Real eight that you thought of me And they mocked
Speaker 6: him for being Yeah, they were mocking him for being
Speaker 6: like socially awkward or something while he was talking to
Speaker 6: the staff.
Speaker 1: Yes yes, yes, yes, And so I'm going to turn
Speaker 1: into a meme, but not a good meme because you
Speaker 1: can't mean all right left. Yeah, So so Tim Walls
Speaker 1: decided he's going to go own him and uh so
Speaker 1: Walls decided to go into it's like a a convenience
Speaker 1: store or whatever, and uh he goes, look, I have
Speaker 1: no problem picking out donuts and proceeds to grab two
Speaker 1: whoopee pies. So now they're like, you tried to own
Speaker 1: him by saying you knew what donuts are and you
Speaker 1: bought things in a plastic thing at Agasta that are
Speaker 1: actually not donuts. And then after he got wrung up
Speaker 1: on that and his whoopee pies, Tina Smith, who's the
Speaker 1: idiot you at one of the two idiot US senators
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, decided to come to his aid. So she
Speaker 1: posted a picture of that time her and Tim Walls
Speaker 1: at an event at a really famous donut shop, right,
Speaker 1: and that one I saw and.
Speaker 6: I was like, why, I don't understand, And then I
Speaker 6: realized this thing is like years ago.
Speaker 1: Years ago, because that donut shop ran into a little
Speaker 1: they rented a few problems back in the early twenty twenties.
Speaker 2: Called COVID, and we're put out of business.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that whole thing is part of the news
Speaker 1: cycle and everyone's arguing over donuts and I just want
Speaker 1: to be done. I want to do the south Park model,
Speaker 1: is what I want. Pete Calender, do you see South
Speaker 1: Park announce that they're not going to be doing a
Speaker 1: new season this fall. You're gonna take one one season
Speaker 1: hiatus because because they don't want to just do Trump
Speaker 1: and election jokes.
Speaker 2: They said, I'm on board with this.
Speaker 1: Man, Well are you here? I mean, yeah, you do
Speaker 1: a lot of times, a lot of times you just oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to I want to hit that person
Speaker 1: in the face with a board, but you don't do it.
Speaker 1: And uh, the amount of stress that we could say
Speaker 1: if you just sit around, eat donuts, do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: I got so much sick time saved up.
Speaker 6: Saying here, Uh no, I look all right. So I
Speaker 6: as I rode in my op ed at the blade.
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go, here we go. I well, it's like,
Speaker 1: did you did you write something? Do you write something?
Speaker 1: I was writing a time or to see how long
Speaker 1: before you brought it up?
Speaker 6: I will, So it's like a it's like you're interviewing
Speaker 6: an author.
Speaker 2: Now like author, I don't book author interviews.
Speaker 6: Right, because like they always have to talk about their
Speaker 6: book that they wrote. You know, but I but only
Speaker 6: I only mentioned it for this reason, which is I
Speaker 6: started off. I think you did as well as a reporter, right,
Speaker 6: doing news, and.
Speaker 2: I'm not able to do. That's how I transitioned to talk.
Speaker 2: I did news first.
Speaker 1: I was in music, but then I came over and yes,
Speaker 1: you start in news and then you know you do
Speaker 1: your things right, Yeah, absolutely right?
Speaker 6: And so but and so I went to when I
Speaker 6: went to school, I went to school, you know, mass communication,
Speaker 6: broadcast journalism, and with a minor in political science and philosophy.
Speaker 6: And so this is what I was always interested in,
Speaker 6: and I believe and why I got into journalism was
Speaker 6: because I believe it is very very important for our
Speaker 6: society to have a free press that holds government accountable.
Speaker 6: That's my first principle, right, And that's why I did
Speaker 6: the job. That's why, as you might say, I did
Speaker 6: the work. You know, I did the work for yeah,
Speaker 6: for a decade. And I'm not even counting my high
Speaker 6: school newspaper here in that in that decade, right, But
Speaker 6: I got into it for that reason, and so I
Speaker 6: still believe in that principle, and so I don't ever,
Speaker 6: I don't ever really get bored or fed up with
Speaker 6: these election cycles because I do believe that it is
Speaker 6: vitally important and you know, and I recognize I'm probably
Speaker 6: in the minority.
Speaker 1: There, Okay, no, no, no, no, And here here's the thing.
Speaker 1: It is vitally important, but it's still aging me, so.
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, yeah, well yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have gray. I don't. And yet this is
Speaker 2: what these people do to me.
Speaker 1: And so we find ourselves, you know, sitting here and
Speaker 1: look at another election cycle where we're either going to
Speaker 1: argue about donuts or whether Hitler had some good points.
Speaker 1: And I just have to pull out of this thing, man,
Speaker 1: because like, well, social media is just those last week
Speaker 1: has just been a dumpster fire.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, well, and so that's the I try not
Speaker 6: to get distracted by the dumb assery, you know, and
Speaker 6: the debate over that guy, you know, World War two
Speaker 6: historian guy, and they're talking about Hitler and Church and all
Speaker 6: this stuff.
Speaker 1: What are we doing?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm not, Like, I'm not going to go
Speaker 6: listen to it. I don't listen to Tucker Carlson's podcast generally.
Speaker 6: I think I'd seen maybe two or three since he
Speaker 6: has launched them. I don't. Yeah, I don't make a
Speaker 6: point to watch his stuff. I feel like he's I
Speaker 6: feel like he's kind of become somebody that I can't
Speaker 6: identify with, and I don't. I don't trust him. So
Speaker 6: I unless he's got some guest on there that I
Speaker 6: care to hear what that guest says, then I would
Speaker 6: go find it and watch it. But no, I don't
Speaker 6: watch him. It's not worth the effort or time for me.
Speaker 6: So this this fight though, that people are having over
Speaker 6: this guy. He goes by Martyr Meade, I think is
Speaker 6: his Twitter account, and I've actually read one of his
Speaker 6: tweet storms or threaded tweets, whatever you want to call him,
Speaker 6: about a year or so ago, and that's when he
Speaker 6: first came on to my raidar. I'd never heard of
Speaker 6: the guy, but he had made some really good points
Speaker 6: on some matter I forget what it was. And so
Speaker 6: then I saw him on Carlson's thing and he's talking
Speaker 6: all of this stuff about World War Two, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: I'm out, you know, like I'm okay, Well, I'm done.
Speaker 6: I don't need to ever really listen to him again.
Speaker 6: And look, if you have a different opinion, or you know,
Speaker 6: the audience is a different opinion, go watch him. It
Speaker 6: literally does not bother me. I don't care. The problem
Speaker 6: is when you see the connection with the story of
Speaker 6: Tenant Media and the foreign actors, and I know there
Speaker 6: are people that are saying, oh, it didn't happen, this
Speaker 6: is just the DJ, and I get it. I totally
Speaker 6: get it that the DJ cannot be trusted costs of
Speaker 6: their pattern of abuse and the way that they have
Speaker 6: attempted to influence our elections. I get it. I agree. However,
Speaker 6: that does not mean that Russians, Chinese, Venezuelans, Iranians, that
Speaker 6: these governments are not trying to mess up and mess
Speaker 6: with our elections.
Speaker 3: Oh you just do.
Speaker 2: Why are you just picking on foreigners?
Speaker 5: Right? Well, I don't have to, I don't have to choose.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, those are all foreigners.
Speaker 6: So wow, right, but the DJ there, the DJ isn't like.
Speaker 5: I don't have to pick.
Speaker 1: You might take on the Chen thing. And I think
Speaker 1: you and I agree on this. Two things can be
Speaker 1: correct at the same time. Like, okay, so could a
Speaker 1: company in this case Tenant Media, who who saw pretty
Speaker 1: substantial growth in a very short period of time right
Speaker 1: with with with especially Pool is probably the one that's
Speaker 1: done the most growth for him and and so they've
Speaker 1: taken this company and tried to model it after for
Speaker 1: companies like The Blaze, who you just wrote for Ross
Speaker 1: Did you know he wrote a op ed for The
Speaker 1: Blaze on your Twitch channel? Sorry making a point there.
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so you sit there and you go
Speaker 1: into these startups, so multiple things can be true.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: So in addition to doing radio, I've worked in a
Speaker 1: multimedia capacity because you know, before you get your own show,
Speaker 1: you got to eat, and so I worked with media
Speaker 1: production companies for some of the shows that air on
Speaker 1: like Outdoor Life and ESPN and whatnot based out of
Speaker 1: Minnesota and these companies. Once you have the infrastructure to
Speaker 1: be a content producer, do you have that? We had?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: And I didn't own on the company, but the company
Speaker 1: which is North American Media, I'll.
Speaker 2: Say who it is, Uh, Fishermen.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: They a good portion of their staff was not working
Speaker 1: on their own products, and then they were working on
Speaker 1: contracted editing and video production work. It's a really beefy
Speaker 1: segment because you got all the cool stuff and you
Speaker 1: have other entities who want a better production quality. It's
Speaker 1: what you see in YouTube right. Most YouTubers, the bigger ones,
Speaker 1: they don't edit their own stuff. They hire professional folks
Speaker 1: to do that, who do the editing for multiple things.
Speaker 1: So it can be true that Chen's company was hired
Speaker 1: by two people who were mislabeling themselves and said, hey,
Speaker 1: that's a ten million dollar contract. You want us to
Speaker 1: edit this stuff. It's repackaging of stories from other countries.
Speaker 1: I don't know that most people would think that it
Speaker 1: could also be true that that is definitively a Russian
Speaker 1: operation who said, go find me some folks to do this,
Speaker 1: and we'll go ahead and get this stuff into the
Speaker 1: news cycle. I think the envision what the DOJ is
Speaker 1: would the DOCHA have charged a production company if Media
Speaker 1: Matters was doing it in the same way to and
Speaker 1: with the same narrative.
Speaker 6: Right, No, I agree both, Right, So it can be
Speaker 6: a Russian operation and the DOJ chose the timing and
Speaker 6: the and the focus of the probe. Right, both of
Speaker 6: those things can be true because reading the indictment it
Speaker 6: appears pretty clearly, and reading the statements from the commentators
Speaker 6: like Dave Ruben and Denny Johnson and Tim Pooley, they
Speaker 6: were like, we have no idea, We had no idea
Speaker 6: like the financial backing of Tenant Media. Lauren Chen it
Speaker 6: appears did absolutely know which she is a former employee
Speaker 6: of Russia Today RT right. And also I would point
Speaker 6: out that on her own channels she has been advising
Speaker 6: conservatives to not vote for Donald Trump. So I'm not
Speaker 6: exactly clear how this is supposed to be a pro
Speaker 6: Trump f by the Russians, especially after you saw Vladimir
Speaker 6: Pitcheton yesterday.
Speaker 1: Explain it.
Speaker 2: You don't have to explain it.
Speaker 1: You can say she runs a company that is the
Speaker 1: distributor for and then throwing conservative shows, and you don't
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 2: It is it is.
Speaker 1: It is an indictment with an admission. Can I pick
Speaker 1: you real quick? Did you know what I thought on this?
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I threw this little talker out and I
Speaker 1: haven't done the big review. You ever do that where
Speaker 1: you throw a thing out and you use the hook
Speaker 1: to go and get the calls, But really there's a
Speaker 1: different point you wanted to make.
Speaker 2: It's like a special episode.
Speaker 1: So I saw that they charged the dad down in
Speaker 1: Georgia for essentially providing access to that fourteen year old
Speaker 1: is alleged to have killed his classmates and teachers.
Speaker 2: And remember in Michigan they did that as well.
Speaker 1: And I think it's an interesting topic because most conservatives
Speaker 1: see anything that you want to do to guns is
Speaker 1: you trying to get a camel's nose under the tent.
Speaker 1: Make big changes, because that's what they always do, right,
Speaker 1: There's just this little thing, No, you need this other
Speaker 1: all these things, so and but we charge people with
Speaker 1: criminal liability and other aspects for doing things not with intent,
Speaker 1: but rather because they created a scenario. And could you
Speaker 1: make an argument that if you had a fourteen year
Speaker 1: old is running around drawing pictures of dead classmates all day,
Speaker 1: said I'm going to get them, that you should have
Speaker 1: liability if you don't secure your firearms.
Speaker 2: I'll have that discussion.
Speaker 1: My question is, if that liability is in fact a
Speaker 1: criminally prosecutable liability.
Speaker 2: Why is it just the parents?
Speaker 1: Why would a school counselor why would remember the guy
Speaker 1: in Parkland? We found out that sheriff had thirty eight
Speaker 1: interactions with your shooter.
Speaker 2: His department did.
Speaker 1: So my question is for all of you big government
Speaker 1: people who want to be able to force parents to
Speaker 1: neuter their kids under threat of removals. So you're the parent,
Speaker 1: because it takes a village, why shouldn't you carry the
Speaker 1: same level of responsibility when you drop the ball and
Speaker 1: you don't allow this kid in here? And so that
Speaker 1: was the question. I'm curious your thoughts. And then my
Speaker 1: follow up to it, and the point that I was
Speaker 1: going to make is because like too many other laws,
Speaker 1: it would be arbitrary. Yeah, you go, You go ahead,
Speaker 1: and you get the dad because he's got a gun safe. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what if you're a single mom trying
Speaker 1: to raise your kid in a socioeconomically challenged thing and
Speaker 1: that kid goes, you know what, I'm gonna go get
Speaker 1: some guns and some drugs and I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get paid man, and you don't do anything to intervene
Speaker 1: because you're overwhelmed with all your other kids. Does that
Speaker 1: woman should she be charged the same way that dad
Speaker 1: who took his kid to the range a couple times
Speaker 1: a year should be charged. What do you think of
Speaker 1: that conversation, because it's nobody's having the total part of it,
Speaker 1: and I think it needs to be a package here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I yeah, So in theory, I agree with
Speaker 6: the concept of holding people who who behaved in a
Speaker 6: negligent fashion right accountable and libel. But just like the
Speaker 6: red flag laws or watch lists or anything like that,
Speaker 6: the challenge becomes in, as you mentioned, the arbitrary nature
Speaker 6: of the enforcement, but also how does one get off
Speaker 6: lists get off lists? And that gets to the you know,
Speaker 6: the decision making process and who's in charge, and that's
Speaker 6: the concern you know, people like, oh, let's put a
Speaker 6: you know, let's get a list of you know, all
Speaker 6: of the terrorists and all of this, and then all
Speaker 6: of a sudden, everybody's getting tossed onto the list. Well,
Speaker 6: how do you get off the list? Who's deciding on
Speaker 6: the list?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 6: Who do I appeal to all of this? That's always
Speaker 6: the challenge. So yeah, because as soon as people start
Speaker 6: using this law against as you said, the single mom
Speaker 6: maybe in Chicago where her son just murdered four people
Speaker 6: over the Labor Day weekend but didn't get any media attention, right,
Speaker 6: are you gonna go back for her too?
Speaker 1: No? This is this is the slippery slope part of this.
Speaker 1: And I think that dad, and I'm not his lawyer
Speaker 1: if because remember it sounds like the school don investigation,
Speaker 1: and if you're that father, I maybe you are Darrel,
Speaker 1: Maybe you're an idiot.
Speaker 2: Some people can't see what their kids are gonna do.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 1: But if the school said, yeah, we investigate, and he's
Speaker 1: still in school, that is that's an informed source and
Speaker 1: authoritative source telling you they don't think your kid dangerous
Speaker 1: enough to not be around other kids.
Speaker 2: So he might use that as a defense.
Speaker 1: But all right, I'm gonna you tweet out a link
Speaker 1: on your Twitter there and uh, we'll retweet it for
Speaker 1: you so people can go read your Blaze story.
Speaker 2: Mister, I'm writing for the Blaze, all right, it was just.
Speaker 6: A single op ed, dude.
Speaker 5: I just want to know.
Speaker 1: I saw you posting little excerpts through it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll see how long before he mentions it? So we'll
Speaker 1: get that at Casey on the radio. P We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you later. Thanks, man, hang on, hang on you guys.
Speaker 1: Ever you guys see how weird jd Vance is super weird,
Speaker 1: super duper weird. Is he is that a skin suit? Ross?
Speaker 1: Do we know? I just gotta be a skin suit?
Speaker 1: This dude is not human? So what did he strew
Speaker 1: up this time? Do you know how to order donuts?
Speaker 1: How many of you know how to order donuts?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: You get to go get a dozen donuts? You go
Speaker 1: to the Krispy Kreme or the Duncan or you know
Speaker 1: wherever duck Donuts or whatever it is, and then you
Speaker 1: got to go through that dance right because you got
Speaker 1: to get twelve. And let's be real honest, Okay, let's
Speaker 1: be let's be real even though you make care for
Speaker 1: you know, family members or coworkers or whomever will be
Speaker 1: dining on those donuts with you.
Speaker 2: Ordering donuts goes like this.
Speaker 1: If I got to go get a dozen donuts, I'm
Speaker 1: not a big sweet skuy, but I can get down on.
Speaker 2: One of those French egg glazed donuts.
Speaker 1: I like those. So if I go to the Duncin
Speaker 1: over here by the station and I walk in there
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I need a dozen, and then you
Speaker 1: got to do the thing really, you know, And I'm sure,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm sure the employees love it just
Speaker 1: as much. I don't blame them for being like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, because it's you know, you do it
Speaker 1: all day. My give a crap on the contents of
Speaker 1: those twelve donuts is at about twenty five percent. I'm
Speaker 1: going to with with very thoughtful process, make sure that
Speaker 1: I acquire at least two of those those those French
Speaker 1: egg donuts that I like, and then I'm going to
Speaker 1: turn to the person and go, duh, just give me
Speaker 1: a variety, and then that's it. That's my donut ordering methodology.
Speaker 1: Ross You ever ordered donuts, go get a dozen donuts
Speaker 1: at any point? Yeah, you know, Ross doesn't do nothing,
Speaker 1: but if you yes, no, I had forgotten about this.
Speaker 1: So back back before Ross was trapping all his own
Speaker 1: food with his bare hands or whatever his protein intake
Speaker 1: his you feel, but you would feel comfortable in that
Speaker 1: retail situation making it happen, like you could. You could
Speaker 1: go ahead make it happen. So with that in mind, jd.
Speaker 1: Vance goes and orders some donuts, and then apparently all
Speaker 1: of the activists like might's touch and whatnot or reacting
Speaker 1: to the the the work are looking a little annoyed.
Speaker 1: But now they're like, oh, man, he can't even order donuts.
Speaker 1: He's so stupid. Oh would you look at him? He
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to order donuts. And then the Walls
Speaker 1: campaign posts a snippet from a thing he was doing.
Speaker 1: I can't look like. He's in the deli section of
Speaker 1: a high V just a grocery store chain on the Midwest.
Speaker 1: I used to shot there, and he says, look at me,
Speaker 1: I have no problem picking out donuts, and then he
Speaker 1: proceeds to hold up in a you know, and this
Speaker 1: is in the plastic package. So he's not even picking
Speaker 1: out donuts from a worker like at one of those
Speaker 1: he's grabbing the you know when you go the deli
Speaker 1: section and he's holding these two boxes and he goes,
Speaker 1: look at me. I have no problem picking out donuts.
Speaker 1: The audio is a little hard to hear. He's holding
Speaker 1: not donuts, He's holding whoopee pies. Well, I guess it
Speaker 1: would be the term for it, which are not a donut?
Speaker 1: Do we agree? But a whoopy pie is not a donut. Basically,
Speaker 1: any of the any of the things that would look
Speaker 1: little debis aren't technically really donuts just ain't a donut.
Speaker 1: So you're holding this thing, then you know how to
Speaker 1: pick out donuts, and you're not holding any donuts if
Speaker 1: you wanted to get Now, if it was normal people
Speaker 1: having a normal conversation, I would think, and I'll play
Speaker 1: the audio that jd Vance ordered donuts in a name
Speaker 1: in a in a normal way. And I would also
Speaker 1: not have a problem with Tim Walls come, you know, going, hey,
Speaker 1: I picked up some donuts at high ve and I
Speaker 1: look and it's, uh, it's you know, it's a whoopie pie.
Speaker 1: Would you mean don't know what a whoopy pie is?
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's the cookies with the cream in
Speaker 1: the middle. It is literally the little Debbie snack, but
Speaker 1: that's not a donut. And by the way, and I've
Speaker 1: noticed that people who really go whoopy pie stuff are
Speaker 1: usually people from Maine.
Speaker 2: And they want to tell you all about it.
Speaker 1: So anyway, excuse me. So if you're going to correct
Speaker 1: a dude and you're gonna be less correct, fine, But
Speaker 1: it gets better from there because the idiot Senator Tina
Speaker 1: Smith from Minnesota then decided that she would back it
Speaker 1: up after she saw that Walls's tweet was getting just
Speaker 1: torn apart. And she then posts a picture from years
Speaker 1: ago of her and Walls on the stump in front
Speaker 1: of this this bakery in Saint Paul, right, and uh,
Speaker 1: they got the box, you know, and they're both holding
Speaker 1: what is clearly a donut. And she's like, God, see
Speaker 1: you look at this. We know how to order donuts.
Speaker 1: The donut shopping question is has been closed since almost
Speaker 1: beginning of COVID because they were murdered by his restrictions.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this whole thing is just nuts. Now I
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking. All right, let me hear jd
Speaker 1: Vance ordered donuts and I'll be the judge of this dude,
Speaker 1: and that I'd say absolutely, here we go. Here is
Speaker 1: what jd Vance did to start donut gate yesterday. You're ready,
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a match, pleasure see it.
Speaker 1: Okay, how at the beginning that you're not talking to voters?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Almost twos?
Speaker 8: Everything a long, blaze, tears, sprinkle stuff. Somebody sent in
Speaker 8: the roles.
Speaker 2: He ordered donuts like a dude orders donuts.
Speaker 1: Can I if I just for it, just wro That's
Speaker 1: how most guys I know ordered donuts.
Speaker 2: Again, they may pay special attention to him.
Speaker 4: And that guy is weird, Like that was super weird.
Speaker 4: What was I think the only way to really order
Speaker 4: at a restaurant is to go in there like you're
Speaker 4: Chris Farley coming out like you're the motivational speaker and
Speaker 4: high five and everybody. And that's the that's the normal.
Speaker 4: That's the normal Minnesota way to do it.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not.
Speaker 1: He walked in, he said, give me some glaze and
Speaker 1: some sprinkles or whatever works.
Speaker 3: That's how. That's how dudes order donuts. But dude ordered.
Speaker 4: Once you see soda in social media, once you see
Speaker 4: like Chris Farley side by side with Tim Walls, you're
Speaker 4: like they're the same dude.
Speaker 3: It's like they mean, we're like, it's the same picture.
Speaker 1: It's the same guy, same energy. So now I've been
Speaker 1: apparently I've not been ordering donuts right now. I can't
Speaker 1: remember the last time I ordered a dozen. Don't Oh
Speaker 1: you know what I do remember? And you know why
Speaker 1: because of retail exchanges that exist out there top ten
Speaker 1: all time people. You don't want to be behind in line.
Speaker 1: It's an indecisive donut order or an indici I want
Speaker 1: to arson shopping centers. If I happen to go into
Speaker 1: a donut shop and this happens in front of me,
Speaker 1: all right, ma'am your next I'm a girl standing and
Speaker 1: she just say, yeah, I need a dozen donuts. And
Speaker 1: you know you've been in there and behind the work
Speaker 1: or in the case in front of them, or all
Speaker 1: the donuts they're clearly labeled. Plus you've been standing in line.
Speaker 1: You've had a chance to mentally do this, and then
Speaker 1: you have to listen to a conversation like, all right,
Speaker 1: what do you want, man, Let's see which ones are
Speaker 1: the most popular. And at that point I start rolling
Speaker 1: my eyes. I'm like, all right, maybe they have a
Speaker 1: specialty donut. I don't know, but I think it's glazed.
Speaker 1: And then she's like, all right looking, and there's seventy
Speaker 1: two thousand people in line, and then you know it's
Speaker 1: just the workers now already tapped out. She's like, do
Speaker 1: you have any round donuts? Do you have any round donuts?
Speaker 1: What are the difference between the sprinkles? What are the
Speaker 1: difference between the pink sprinkles and the white sprinkles? You
Speaker 1: get that person in front of you. I know why
Speaker 1: people snap. You ever been behind somebody trying to order
Speaker 1: a dozen donuts? There should be a clock and if
Speaker 1: you go too long, you don't do it? What was
Speaker 1: damn it? What was the the There's a restaurant on
Speaker 1: North Top, so the little bagel place that does like
Speaker 1: the New York Bagels or whatever. That dude who works there,
Speaker 1: if you take too long, he just stops talking to
Speaker 1: you and starts talking to somebody else. I saw. I
Speaker 1: saw some couple down on a beach vacation because I
Speaker 1: go in there. I want to hot cap of cola.
Speaker 1: This is very simple breakfast sandwich, which you should try it.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. And I'm behind some idiot on her beach vacation,
Speaker 1: which should be fine, come and join the coast and
Speaker 1: she's just like, it's a deli setting, and she's like,
Speaker 1: what meets do you have?
Speaker 2: It's a deli setting.
Speaker 1: And to that guy's credit, he's just like he looks
Speaker 1: at her and then starts talking to the next customer.
Speaker 1: She's like what it's like, Well, you're obviously not ready.
Speaker 1: That's how you should do it. But you get behind
Speaker 1: somebody donuts, somebody at a Chipotle, right, they're going down
Speaker 1: the line, do you want guacamole? And they're like, which
Speaker 1: one's the guacamole? That person needs to leave the restaurant.
Speaker 1: You're not able to do this. You're at Subway and
Speaker 1: you're like, I mean you mean I have to pick
Speaker 1: what goes on this? Yes, So just just real quick,
Speaker 1: Jade Vance ordered donuts like a normal person.
Speaker 2: Tim Walls doesn't know what a donut is.
Speaker 1: And if you can't go in there and order twelve
Speaker 1: donuts in a reasonable amount of time.
Speaker 2: You need to be not allowed to do business or anything. Really.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I just a whole lot of stupid over the
Speaker 1: last few weeks, just as I'm running errands in anything. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get to rast agent on the
Speaker 1: Weather Channel. We're deciding how other people dudes ordered donuts
Speaker 1: through the path of least resistance?
Speaker 2: Am I right?
Speaker 1: If you got to go get a dozen donuts? Are
Speaker 1: you going in and individually researching each one? Are you
Speaker 1: going in selecting the one the couple that you want
Speaker 1: and then telling them just to give you a variety.
Speaker 2: For the rest?
Speaker 5: Right? Correct?
Speaker 1: Because yeah, because you got tie your things to do
Speaker 1: an hour? Do you ordered donuts wrong?
Speaker 5: I'll go in there with my wife and I'll be like, no,
Speaker 5: we got to get one of these and this.
Speaker 1: Oh kill me, kill me?
Speaker 2: I see no offense stateies. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: because I see dudes like.
Speaker 1: If if I see a person's asked by the clerk, hey,
Speaker 1: I doesn't know what do you want and there's surprise
Speaker 1: on their face at the question, I'm out because that
Speaker 1: person is going to waterboard me over the next fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes with donuts, selection questions or everybody else in line.
Speaker 1: And you can't used to be you could beat them
Speaker 1: up and you know, hide them in the cooler.
Speaker 2: So you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 1: So yeah, correct, yeah, so.
Speaker 5: Not much so much. You know, we got you look
Speaker 5: at the tropics and you look at and you say, wow,
Speaker 5: you've got one, two, three, four areas the hurricane center
Speaker 5: has circled, but all of them got less than twenty
Speaker 5: percent chance of developing. Close it's Us' is just west
Speaker 5: of Bermuda. It might be kicking up the surf and
Speaker 5: the rip car risk a little bit that that twenty percent,
Speaker 5: and then along the Gulf coast ten percent going into
Speaker 5: the Bay of Mph over the next few days, twenty
Speaker 5: percent and ten percent out over the Atlantic. So it's
Speaker 5: all bark, no bite, nothing forecasts to develop, but still
Speaker 5: the long ways to go. Just probably about sixty five
Speaker 5: percent of the Atlantic hurricane season to go here, which
Speaker 5: peaks in a couple of days on the tenth, but
Speaker 5: still could be very active. After that pulled back in,
Speaker 5: we should see more of the way of sunshine as
Speaker 5: the afternoon goes on up first seventies to low eighties tomorrow.
Speaker 5: For whatever your plans are, if it's a ball game,
Speaker 5: we're just heading outside. A sprinkle rain or a passing shower.
Speaker 5: That's it, especially south most cloud to otherwise low eighties
Speaker 5: and a furgo through. It's a pleasant weather for Sunday.
Speaker 5: You wake up, breeze and an, it's gonna be real nice.
Speaker 5: Most of us will be in the fifty sun Raider
Speaker 5: mid the seventies, but warm up is coming back. Next week.
Speaker 5: We'll have Sunsei back in Casey. We might spend a
Speaker 5: couple of days in the middle eighties in some spots,
Speaker 5: so it looks like small Tanta rain, but really not
Speaker 5: much over.
Speaker 1: The next seven We got listener events Tuesday and Thursday,
Speaker 1: but they involved us inside drinking bourbons.
Speaker 5: So yeah, well the weather outside of the year two
Speaker 5: so whatever you dose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when you take your designated drive home, be safe.
Speaker 2: There you go, feel nice?
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it having a weekend. Okay, yep,
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, rach stage, I can coming
Speaker 1: back with Jeff.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 1: I just thought somebody with irritation more than don't at
Speaker 1: people and your calls coming up.
Speaker 9: Hanging well, Casey, good morning. Investors may not know what
Speaker 9: to make of the August employment report that just came
Speaker 9: out at eight thirty this morning. The Labor Department says
Speaker 9: employers added one hundred and forty two thousand workers to
Speaker 9: their payrolls last month. That was not as many as predicted,
Speaker 9: but it was a big improvement from July, when just
Speaker 9: eighty nine thousand jobs were added. That July number was
Speaker 9: revised downward this morning. The unemployment rate ticked down to
Speaker 9: four point two percent. It was a four point three
Speaker 9: percent in July. Average hourly earnings were up a little
Speaker 9: more than expected. Economists say. The report, though, does not
Speaker 9: resolve the question of whether the Federal Reserve will cut
Speaker 9: infrast rates by a quarter or half percent later this month,
Speaker 9: and so now the focused photo of shifts.
Speaker 6: To the.
Speaker 9: Inflation report, as I was trying to think of the
Speaker 9: Consumer Price Index CPI out next week. Right now, the
Speaker 9: futures are mixed. S and P futures are up a fraction,
Speaker 9: Nasdaq futures down forty three, the Dow futures are up eight.
Speaker 9: If you shop for a new TV in the last
Speaker 9: ten years, you didn't have the option of buying one
Speaker 9: made by Panasonic, which was at one time the biggest
Speaker 9: plasma TV maker in the world. Panasonic has just announced
Speaker 9: it's returning to the United States with three new models
Speaker 9: in a deal with am On. All of the sets
Speaker 9: will have fire TV built in. They'll be sold by
Speaker 9: Amazon and also Costco American support for a ban on
Speaker 9: TikTok has stayed over the last year and a half.
Speaker 9: Few research says about a third of all adults still
Speaker 9: want to see the Chinese owned app band. The proposed
Speaker 9: band had fifty percent support in March of last year,
Speaker 9: and the Casey, the Japanese company that owns sevent eleven,
Speaker 9: says the chain of convenience stores is worth more than
Speaker 9: the thirty nine billion dollars being offered by Kushtard of Canada.
Speaker 9: In rejecting the bids, Seven and I Holdings indicate that
Speaker 9: it would be willing to consider a sweetened offer, so
Speaker 9: stay tuned, Casey.
Speaker 1: People have no idea how many seven elevens there are
Speaker 1: in the world. You can go to damn near any
Speaker 1: third world country and they have seven elevens. But it's
Speaker 1: just something that blows me away as somebody likes to travel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're everywhere.
Speaker 1: They're absolutely South America. I've seen them in Asia and
Speaker 1: they're just everywhere. So all right, I didn't know the
Speaker 1: Japanese company owned it, so that makes sense. Well, have
Speaker 1: a good weekend, Jeff, appreciate it.
Speaker 9: Do the same. We'll talk to you on Monday.
