Speaker 1: Let's let's let's get rid of the Monday. I don't
Speaker 1: want to do Monday four days. I think that is
Speaker 1: the appropriate amount of shows. So that's what we're gonna do,
Speaker 1: and you all can deal with it, okay, all right?
Speaker 1: And uh, it might also be a holiday had Inauguration Day,
Speaker 1: so all that stuff as well. But before we get there,
Speaker 1: we got we got gobs to talk about. Way is
Speaker 1: Boston pull emailing me this morning? Boston? Your team laws,
Speaker 1: buddy lost?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: What was what was easily the in my opinion, the
Speaker 1: most exciting game of the games yesterday, just because it
Speaker 1: was the only one that wasn't a damn blowout. Man,
Speaker 1: So there is there is that. So but unfortunately, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're both your teams are out now. It's pretty said.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you're gonna do. Could I
Speaker 1: suggest the Boondish? I wanna, I wanna check that out,
Speaker 1: all right. I'm not gonna lie to you. A big
Speaker 1: heap of this show today is gonna be squarely on California.
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be. But they absoutely made
Speaker 1: it impossible for me not to talk about the lunacy. Okay,
Speaker 1: not to talk about the the lunacy on TV on
Speaker 1: display on the ground, and the weekend shows in the
Speaker 1: interviews that Newsom was doing and Bass was doing and everybody,
Speaker 1: you have forced my hand. So unfortunately, I don't really
Speaker 1: have a choice in the matter. Let's see what's going on,
Speaker 1: by the way, let's let's see what's going on in
Speaker 1: California over the weekend.
Speaker 3: LAPD responded to a burglary call this morning about four
Speaker 3: point thirty. This was at the home a Vice President
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. Two men dressed all in black. They were
Speaker 3: detained by police and then questioned, but then later released.
Speaker 3: The Secret Service also responding to that same call. Those
Speaker 3: two men were inside the evacuation zone while the curfew
Speaker 3: was in fact, now it's unclear if anybody was actually
Speaker 3: home at the time of that call.
Speaker 1: What the hell is that did you? I know it's early.
Speaker 1: I understand that it's like six ' ten in the morning.
Speaker 1: Reb and sleep out your eyes. You're half paying attention
Speaker 1: to me. I appreciate that. We appreciate whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: attention we can get. We're you know, we're essentially there.
Speaker 1: Prince Harry and Megan Markle at this point on that front.
Speaker 1: So two people dressed as ninjas. Okay, not really, but
Speaker 1: kind of all in black, right, broke into the home
Speaker 1: of the sitting Vice President, already violating the law of
Speaker 1: the emergency order there in Brentwood that nobody be within
Speaker 1: this evacuation zone. You find them in the Vice President's
Speaker 1: residence and you let them go. Make it make sense
Speaker 1: for me. Listen to the report one more time.
Speaker 3: LAPD responded to a burglary call this morning about four thirty.
Speaker 3: This was at the home of Vice Person of Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Oh, and the time is important too. It's four thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, right, these aren't This isn't a lost
Speaker 1: driver from a door dash Okay, in his buddy, it's
Speaker 1: four thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3: LAPD responded to a burglary call this morning, about four thirty.
Speaker 3: This was at the home of Vice Person of Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: Two men dressed all in black. They were detained by
Speaker 3: police and then questioned but then later released. The Secret
Speaker 3: Service also responding to that same call. Those two men
Speaker 3: were inside the evacuation zone while the curfew was in fact.
Speaker 3: Now it's unclear if anybody was actually home at the
Speaker 3: time of that call.
Speaker 1: I Honestly, I'm sitting here and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out my brain what possibly it could be. Then, like,
Speaker 1: none of that makes sense because if you would say
Speaker 1: they had a burglary call, they show up, and these
Speaker 1: guys are supposed to be there, they worked for Harris's
Speaker 1: husband and they were trying to get some valuables out
Speaker 1: of there. Okay, that's fine, tell me that. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: they violated the thing, and then the don't go and
Speaker 1: then we'd be having this big us versus them argument. Right,
Speaker 1: this is the only theory that makes sense. The reason
Speaker 1: that they weren't charge is because the vice president or
Speaker 1: her husband sent them into an area that they were
Speaker 1: not allowed to be, nor were any of the other neighbors.
Speaker 1: So if you lived on her street in this part
Speaker 1: of Brentwood, you were forcibly evacuated. We can debate whether
Speaker 1: you know what you would do or I would do,
Speaker 1: but let's understand the only thing that makes sense to
Speaker 1: me without more information as to why they wouldn't be charged.
Speaker 1: There's two theories, right I I this is this is
Speaker 1: the one I think is most likely. I think they
Speaker 1: were sent there to retrieve things from the home and understand.
Speaker 1: I understand that too. Right, she's in Washington. Who knows
Speaker 1: what they have in there that they don't want, you know,
Speaker 1: burn to smitherings. And so they decided they go, we'll
Speaker 1: screw you little people on the vice president and I'll
Speaker 1: send some dudes. And that's what this is. And the
Speaker 1: LAPD or the Brentwood PD there are going along with it.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that theory? The other theory
Speaker 1: is they had some immutable characteristic and Kamala Harris decided
Speaker 1: that she didn't want to do anything because uh, social justice.
Speaker 1: But I really I don't don't necessarily think that because
Speaker 1: you know, she was. I think it's the first one,
Speaker 1: which is a which is a further erosion of this
Speaker 1: you know, this the this narrative that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we all have to act equal under the law, especially
Speaker 1: uh you know, especially with the social classism and uh
Speaker 1: socioeconomic and classes arguments that that Harris made during her
Speaker 1: her three month disaster run. And that's Look, that's just
Speaker 1: one of the oddities. Okay, we got lots more to
Speaker 1: get to as as things unfold, and racism will come back.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Harry and Megan, I've had enough of that
Speaker 1: I was. It caused me to verbally verbally swear at
Speaker 1: my TV over the weekend. I get so was on
Speaker 1: my iPad. But whatever, The New York Post wrote a glory.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's in LA times. People were talking about
Speaker 1: the maybe they were bringing stuff in to be lost
Speaker 1: in the fire. All right, well, i'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I'll throw that in his theory three, I guess the
Speaker 1: least likely. But in the same instance, it's basically Harris
Speaker 1: thinking she's above the law and could violate a thing.
Speaker 1: Now again, I don't know that that's that, but tell
Speaker 1: me what it is. Then. It's so weird, man. I
Speaker 1: can't after what they did to the j sixers for
Speaker 1: walking through an open door of the Capitol in some instances,
Speaker 1: not all of them, I get it, but literally charging
Speaker 1: with parading and throw them in jail for fifteen months
Speaker 1: or three years or you know whatever, whatever their sentence was,
Speaker 1: that to a thing that's historically been a fifty dollars fine,
Speaker 1: you know, make it. Make it make sense for me,
Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking. All right, So we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: We've got finger pointing, we've got more looters, we have
Speaker 1: insane statements, we have one of the scummiest fundraising efforts
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and that's saying something and that goes
Speaker 1: right to the top. Oh, we got sex spots. So
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a Monday hang on cac
Speaker 1: O Day radio program. Some folks are not happy. By
Speaker 1: the way, do you know what the what? Right now?
Speaker 1: If you are a private firefighter, what your hourly rate
Speaker 1: is in California? This is This is from this New
Speaker 1: York Post and ap, actually so ap and New York Post.
Speaker 1: All right, so right now in California, if you're a
Speaker 1: private firefighter, many of the many of the big companies
Speaker 1: because they have, you know, big companies obviously for this Now,
Speaker 1: these companies normally contract with the government. In fact, I
Speaker 1: have a buddy who that I went to high school
Speaker 1: with named Brian, Brian Heller, and Brian's big dream and
Speaker 1: he achieved it was to go be a smoke jumper
Speaker 1: up in Montana. Now he works for a private and
Speaker 1: makes bank, makes bank. But normally it's you know, they'd
Speaker 1: get contracted by the National Forest Service, So they get
Speaker 1: contracted by a county in Arizona that's on fire. I
Speaker 1: remember he was down fighting those fires I saw on
Speaker 1: his h on his social media and it's pretty good money. This, though,
Speaker 1: is insane right now if you want to hire a
Speaker 1: private firefighter to protect your giant mansion there, because I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that those are the only folks affording this, it's
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars an hour, and they don't have enough
Speaker 1: of them. They talked to two people in here. Chris
Speaker 1: Dunn is one of them. He owns Covered six, which
Speaker 1: is one of the very very big contractors. There's one
Speaker 1: other in the article. They don't have any availability and
Speaker 1: they're charging both of them two thousand dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: and of course then you know then their performative outrage
Speaker 1: with local politician. How dare these folks? That's not fair,
Speaker 1: that's not fair at tall. Why the normal people can't
Speaker 1: hire their own? No, no, but they did, they did,
Speaker 1: They did hire their own. They're called the LA Fire Department.
Speaker 1: They just obviously probably should have contracted the other ones,
Speaker 1: the private ones there. And it's not a knock on
Speaker 1: firefighters in LA. It's a management thing and it's the
Speaker 1: totality of everything that's going on. You probably saw the
Speaker 1: fire chief there. She went out, was doing interviews, throwing
Speaker 1: Karen Bass right under the bus, and she should. But
Speaker 1: also let's just be real honest about what's going on
Speaker 1: over at the department. I saw where they went to
Speaker 1: one of the there was the Hurst Fires command center,
Speaker 1: and Bass showed up there and then they did a
Speaker 1: big selfie out front. Do you think organically twelve women
Speaker 1: all ended up at the command center in charge and
Speaker 1: like two dudes, you think that that was an organic
Speaker 1: hiring pattern. Sorry, I don't. And people see stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So if some guy who's got a ten million dollar
Speaker 1: investment and a piece of property in Palisades or Brentwood
Speaker 1: or wherever it is it wants to stroke a check
Speaker 1: for two thousand dollars an hour to keep his house
Speaker 1: from burn, I don't begrudge him. I don't begrudge him
Speaker 1: at all. What do you care. It's not like the
Speaker 1: city is gonna go out now. They've brought in firefighters
Speaker 1: from elsewhere. I saw a convoy from Texas coming. They
Speaker 1: brought in some some firefighters from like Mexico. But you know,
Speaker 1: if if some guy's got the got the uh the
Speaker 1: bankroll for that, I fine, let them let them do
Speaker 1: whatever they're gonna do. It's you know why, Because it's
Speaker 1: one less thing burning. Maybe that the LA Fire Department
Speaker 1: can focus their their energy on other stuff. I mean, inevitably,
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. Turn your if you're angry at
Speaker 1: this whole situation, if you're sitting there and you live
Speaker 1: in Pasadena or one of the fringe areas where there
Speaker 1: are some evacuation orders, or at least word it sounds
Speaker 1: like they have some containment at least on the one
Speaker 1: big fire there. Your anger is not your rich neighbor
Speaker 1: up the hill. This is what this is what all
Speaker 1: this classism stuff has done to us. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: there's lots of reasons to be mad at rich people.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hate on Prince Harry and Megan Markle coming
Speaker 1: up here on the show pretty thoroughly. But it's not
Speaker 1: because they're rich. It's because they're obnoxious and they need
Speaker 1: to go away. And I don't like what they think
Speaker 1: they're trying to create here, and I will reject it,
Speaker 1: just as we in the United States rejected it, you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years ago, and we're not changing.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: This hunger to go out and appear to be America's royalty.
Speaker 1: Uh No, this article is so obnoxious. Oh wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me let me, let me do this. How long
Speaker 1: is this cut? Here? Let me just give you a
Speaker 1: little flavor of what's going on.
Speaker 5: This is their second visit to today. We were here
Speaker 5: earlier today and they were serving food anonymously. No one
Speaker 5: knew they were serving food.
Speaker 1: How do we know they were serving food? Ross?
Speaker 6: Do you know?
Speaker 1: How we know where they were serving food? Do you know?
Speaker 6: Do you know?
Speaker 1: Do you know? Because of the multitude of four K
Speaker 1: photo galleries that were immediately put up and the cameras. Now,
Speaker 1: to be fair, i'll explain you why you're saying the
Speaker 1: anonymous because there's a little cutesy story here. But let
Speaker 1: me finish the cute.
Speaker 3: With masks recognized a.
Speaker 5: Little bit more and anonymously. And they didn't come out
Speaker 5: here for publicity. They came out here to work. And
Speaker 5: then we went to UH visit some of the families
Speaker 5: in the impacted area UH and view firsthand some of
Speaker 5: the impacted area. And then they wanted to go visit
Speaker 5: the first responders and personally thank them for for their
Speaker 5: efforts to tell.
Speaker 1: Them at right after the break and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm over here and I'm reading something and
Speaker 1: then in my ear from his studio, I hear him.
Speaker 1: He didn't swear, but it sounds like something was wrong,
Speaker 1: and then he ran into the bathroom. So explain.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I heard about the closing stuff and delays,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, oh, in the news, yeah, okay. So
Speaker 7: I texted Kyle like are you in today? Because sometimes
Speaker 7: it takes a day off and the news doesn't update
Speaker 7: to fill it, right, it has to be records.
Speaker 1: He doesn't read a live records it and then uploads
Speaker 1: it into the system.
Speaker 7: Yes, okay, yeah, so it tends to be the system
Speaker 7: to screw it up. And I'm just like, there has
Speaker 7: to be old news that were running, because why would
Speaker 7: anyed to be closed today? Yeah, And he's like no, no, no,
Speaker 7: yeah no, and he's he's there, it's live news.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well look there are some there are Look, obviously,
Speaker 1: if you're listening in the triad versus a triangle, you
Speaker 1: had a very different snow experience. Okay, right, Uh it was.
Speaker 1: It was genuinely look pretty scary with some of the
Speaker 1: stuff they're in the in the triad and then points
Speaker 1: around the triangle, but in a lot of areas there's nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing left anyway. Maybe there was a little bit of
Speaker 1: a dusting. Yeah, I had no idea Durham schools were closed,
Speaker 1: did they? Is there that much more snow in Durham?
Speaker 1: I didn't go to Durham and he said, uh, or,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Oranges clothed Durham is delayed.
Speaker 1: Oh, Durham's delayed. I'm sorry, what does Oranges closed? All right,
Speaker 1: let me get there?
Speaker 7: And I said why he said, uh icy parking lots.
Speaker 7: Bro said okay, all right, well it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter to you. Lincoln's not even in school right now, right,
Speaker 1: you know he's tracked out, Yeah, because he's on the
Speaker 1: year round thing. So yeah, I mean, but now, the
Speaker 1: reason we like there to be school and people to
Speaker 1: go to work is you're in your normal routine, so
Speaker 1: we all get to hang out together because you know,
Speaker 1: you know how it is. If you don't got to
Speaker 1: go into work school, you can do a little sleeping in, understand.
Speaker 1: All right, let's check on that because we got Jamal
Speaker 1: on the phone. Jamal, does it look like the Fortress
Speaker 1: of Solitude over where you're at?
Speaker 6: Oh? No, it looked like Trump thought over him. I
Speaker 6: let my little girls go out there and play and
Speaker 6: what they called the snowstorm because I'm holding up to
Speaker 6: remember when we had real snow and boy, we had
Speaker 6: us a good time. Casey, this we enjoyed. But Casey,
Speaker 6: let me say this real quick. Number one people criticizing
Speaker 6: this private fire department. But God's name was Rick Carusso
Speaker 6: he saved his strip ball. He ran for La mayor.
Speaker 6: He want them back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, don't call Caruso's Palisades
Speaker 1: Mall a strip mall. That thing's amazing, right, that that's
Speaker 1: set up over there. I mean it's it's it's more
Speaker 1: than just a and it actually exemplifies because it's so
Speaker 1: much bigger than a strip mall. You would imagine that
Speaker 1: it's more impressive that it didn't burn down in the
Speaker 1: middle of that nothing in it burned. So that's you all.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. He had a private fire department to
Speaker 6: project this stuff. And they show people showing his with
Speaker 6: these fary truck water trucks for private fire department, and
Speaker 6: so people are mad at him. Because number one, he
Speaker 6: ran for mayor in La He warned people and told
Speaker 6: people about this. They didn't listen. They elected that idiot
Speaker 6: caring bass excuse my term, and so they yes, And
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Casey. I was born in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 6: I grew up when black father said, I bet you
Speaker 6: want to do that again. You take a knife and
Speaker 6: you're sticking in the electrical socket. You yeah, I bet
Speaker 6: you want to do that again. So it's time for
Speaker 6: the people in La to understand, I bet you won't
Speaker 6: do that again. Because every time you hear you see
Speaker 6: them from lakc he always hears him say, I want
Speaker 6: to talk about I want to recognize this landers from
Speaker 6: the juhab Walmont tribe, and I want to recognize this
Speaker 6: lander from the tribe. Well, for centuries, those tribes did
Speaker 6: something called control burns, but they called it cultural burns.
Speaker 6: They did burns and stuff to control vegetations so they can
Speaker 6: have new vegetation for the animals, get rid of past
Speaker 6: and get rid of dead wood. So Native Americans, who
Speaker 6: they're always quoting and always trying to make themselves little
Speaker 6: better than black conservatives and white conservatives and all conservatives period.
Speaker 6: They always quote these Native Americans, But you're not doing
Speaker 6: the practices that they used to take care of their land.
Speaker 6: So obviously for centuries they've been getting confires. So Native
Speaker 6: Americans figured it out. But these liberals who claim to
Speaker 6: be so conscious and so educated, you know, more educated
Speaker 6: people voted for Carmala herbs and vote Democrat. Well, y'all
Speaker 6: can't figure it out that Native Americans who didn't have
Speaker 6: none of your technology, knew that you have to burn
Speaker 6: dead wood, leaves and stuff like that so it won't
Speaker 6: catch fires.
Speaker 1: There's even bigger issue because it's more so than just
Speaker 1: Karen Baths or Gavenusom or others having to make a
Speaker 1: decision as to whether they're going to do something or not,
Speaker 1: and all options are open. What people need to realize
Speaker 1: is that literally ten years ago they did a proposition.
Speaker 1: California loves propositions, it's all they talk about all elections.
Speaker 1: And they put in their proposition and it literally said, hey,
Speaker 1: should we build more reservoirs, and then they gave them
Speaker 1: a crap ton of money. They have built zero reservoir
Speaker 1: since then. So they had a mandate from the people
Speaker 1: and they ignored them. It's this is far worse than
Speaker 1: liberal decision making or conservative decision making and then the
Speaker 1: other side being mad this is a dereliction of duty.
Speaker 1: It might be prosecutable from a civil perspective, or from
Speaker 1: a civil perspective because of the oath, because of the obligations,
Speaker 1: because you're the only ones who can do certain things.
Speaker 1: Because the way the government structured, who knows, who knows.
Speaker 1: If they get a lawsuit through there, maybe they do.
Speaker 6: Here's something you know what, Casey, I really hope they do.
Speaker 6: Now Gavin Noosen's is talking about doing an emergency executive
Speaker 6: order where he's going to bypass all these environmental laws
Speaker 6: so people can be able to rebuild. I'm sorry this
Speaker 6: may sound cold, for the Republicans in California need to
Speaker 6: get off their fetunities and sue him and make the
Speaker 6: people go through what they have done. They elected these
Speaker 6: democrats where they need to go through what it takes
Speaker 6: to build and get ferments with three years? Well, why
Speaker 6: is it taking so long?
Speaker 1: Jamal, Jamal, come on, come on.
Speaker 6: Yes, Casey, I'm really like this because they.
Speaker 1: Have understand how good that would feel. You know what
Speaker 1: you're saying here, like, Hi, let's you know, hold them this.
Speaker 1: But it then negates the ability to protect you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of these people's whose homes burned down who
Speaker 1: are going to go through through this are already recognizing
Speaker 1: what's going on. And while he may do that, there's
Speaker 1: going to be a bunch of Sierra Club moonbats that
Speaker 1: are going to sue already the Republicans, if from a
Speaker 1: branding perspective, they don't want their name on that. Let
Speaker 1: the moonbats eat themselves if it makes you feel better,
Speaker 1: But then you negate possibly gains there if you do
Speaker 1: like you're never gonna if your house is burned down
Speaker 1: in the Palisades, you're ten million dollar house, and the
Speaker 1: Republicans are because that's how the media will cover it.
Speaker 1: The Republicans are the ones who are then forcing you
Speaker 1: to abide by these environmental laws that the governor's just waived.
Speaker 1: I understand the hypocrisy of all of it, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that it brings new people over, is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't know, other than the feel good moment,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's effective.
Speaker 6: You know what, Casey and I will say this, people
Speaker 6: are on our side, Republican's conservative independence, suspicion of the parents.
Speaker 6: They have been waiting for Democrats to quote unquote you know,
Speaker 6: we try, we have saved tried to save the Democrats
Speaker 6: from themselves, and they never do. They are now this
Speaker 6: one Democrat senator is blaming Donald Trump for the wildfire.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Jensaki was over the weekend. That's not even
Speaker 1: a new thing.
Speaker 6: And so I'm sorry, but their leader, I'm sorry. You know,
Speaker 6: I was raising out taking.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we uligible just because I got I
Speaker 1: gotta go. We've been got. I gotta finish this, this
Speaker 1: Prince Harry story. But on a stone. Yeah, so, uh,
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I just don't from a
Speaker 1: from a marketing perspective, it sounds like a bad idea,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. But you know who knows and
Speaker 1: and and frankly, even though like I said, newsom coudn't
Speaker 1: say he's gonna do all this stuff. All's gonna take
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call. Is one moon back judge
Speaker 1: to go the environmental such and such, those lunatics in
Speaker 1: Chapel Hill see everybody, Southern Environmental Law Center. They're probably
Speaker 1: they're probably looking to see if they can sue if
Speaker 1: he does something like that. That would seem right up
Speaker 1: their alley. Who knows, We'll see, but Republicans. Still, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe they're dumb enough to do that. I've
Speaker 1: seen some stuff, all right, So back to this, Megan Markle,
Speaker 1: Prince Harry Lunacy, stay away, and people are going, well,
Speaker 1: they made some donations too, that's great. You don't need
Speaker 1: to go there, stay away, and I and and frankly,
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I'm sorry, I just don't believe the
Speaker 1: donations you made were purely altruistic. I think they have
Speaker 1: a bad pr problem. They've they paused her show which
Speaker 1: was supposed to premiere on Netflix, which was just getting roasted.
Speaker 1: Sorry for the bad pun here, but because it's so disingenuous, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's not her house. They don't live there. They
Speaker 1: rented this house. They essentially rented the friends around there,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna show you, oh, this is this is
Speaker 1: our true living. They don't live there, and like these
Speaker 1: are unforced airs and and people in UK don't like them,
Speaker 1: people in the United States don't like them except in
Speaker 1: that little Hollywood circle. And you got to do something.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. I think they sat there, probably with
Speaker 1: a publicist and they're like, why don't you go down
Speaker 1: to the to the center you know, with the evacuation
Speaker 1: center in Pasadena and Santa Anna and all this. Where's
Speaker 1: the other one it's I can't remember which of the
Speaker 1: suburbs it's in. Go down there, hug people. Put your
Speaker 1: mask on, We'll put We'll have a story in the
Speaker 1: news that nobody recognized them. They were anonymous. No, they weren't.
Speaker 1: I see a picture of them right there, you immediately
Speaker 1: know who that is. And people in Los Angeles are
Speaker 1: star They recognize celebrities because they see them on the regular.
Speaker 1: They're really into it. I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: conversations I had about State Street, which is the main
Speaker 1: drag in Santa Barbara, all the big shops are and
Speaker 1: all that, when one of the celebrities had come out
Speaker 1: of their Montecito mansion and be downtown. It's the only
Speaker 1: one that we talk about, you know. I saw I
Speaker 1: saw Oprah so Oprah at the Anna Capol mall, which
Speaker 1: is this piseon a wave of Anna Kappa, the two
Speaker 1: big outdoor malls that are on State Street there and
Speaker 1: they have some of the high end stores. And that's
Speaker 1: all I want to tell. People know who they are?
Speaker 1: Shut up. And then they had this one story where.
Speaker 1: I don't know any because you don't know where it
Speaker 1: originated from other than a publicist. Oh, Prince Harry brought
Speaker 1: one of these victims a donut and the guy didn't
Speaker 1: even know it was Prince Harry. I don't know. Maybe Also,
Speaker 1: why is Prince Harry there handing out donuts? It feels
Speaker 1: like tragedy tourism. It really does. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you go ahead and you and you make a donation.
Speaker 1: I'm just so jaded at this point. You know, the
Speaker 1: Rock and Oprah they were technically making a pretty big
Speaker 1: donation by funding the apparatus so that you could donate
Speaker 1: right the phone centers and the infrastructure, and which does
Speaker 1: beg the question why is there not existing infrastructure and
Speaker 1: charities you could work with? But whatever, And it just
Speaker 1: came off wrong and I'm sorry, I don't like this.
Speaker 1: And then I read this body language Experts, says Prince Harry.
Speaker 1: Megan Markle appear as our new US version of Royals.
Speaker 1: I feel like we rejected Ross. Would you look it up?
Speaker 1: Have we ever rejected the concept of having a royalty here?
Speaker 1: All right? Ross is gonna look bad?
Speaker 7: Each other? Put it in the the AI machine yeah,
Speaker 7: we did. We should away did yeah?
Speaker 1: We just yeah, it was in a lawsuit. Did we
Speaker 1: ask them to leave?
Speaker 6: Was?
Speaker 7: Let me dig deeper into this. Yeah, okay, we had
Speaker 7: a big old war.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, but just once, right, we only fought
Speaker 1: him once and not again in eighteen twelve.
Speaker 7: Let me put that in the machine some more. Oh
Speaker 7: my god, you won't believe what came up. Oh no, okay,
Speaker 7: all right, yeah, so we don't want this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a that's a thing
Speaker 1: right there. The White House. Anyway, By the way, the
Speaker 1: amount of Canadians or the amount of British and Canadian
Speaker 1: fighting over who actually burned the White House, it was
Speaker 1: a thing on Twitter. So this weekend it's just so random, actually,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is this? I hate America. It
Speaker 1: was funny as hell. But anyway, all right, so back
Speaker 1: to this. Harry and Markel or Prince Harry and Megan
Speaker 1: Markle appeared as the US version of the Royals during
Speaker 1: their visit, and so they go through this article and
Speaker 1: they talk about the way the Royal family literally interacts
Speaker 1: with the peasants, right, and they have very you know,
Speaker 1: they have a very specific way that you hug or
Speaker 1: you touch without putting your full body in there. And
Speaker 1: I don't know some of the some of the times
Speaker 1: I think these body language people are kind of full
Speaker 1: of it. But it makes sense what they're saying when
Speaker 1: you watch the video there, right, they because it maintains
Speaker 1: a regal status, a classism. Here you are, look at
Speaker 1: these poor poors that got poorer with the poor luck.
Speaker 1: We should you know, what would make their day better?
Speaker 1: Our presence. That's that's what it feels like. And I'm
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean it's Los Angeles. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I don't like it. You're not You're disingenuous, And yeah,
Speaker 1: a little part of me is also bitter because these
Speaker 1: losers have had about a quarter billion dollars basically handed
Speaker 1: to them through Spotify and Netflix and podcasts and and
Speaker 1: everything like it's it's it's how a prince could fail
Speaker 1: upwards is amazing to me. But he's done it, so yeah,
Speaker 1: forgive me if I don't like it. I and the
Speaker 1: amount of photos and video in four K that's readily
Speaker 1: available right after they go to these different places. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe there's a guy standing around professional photog kit. Maybe
Speaker 1: it emanated from somewhere else, like your publicist. So if
Speaker 1: you want to help awesome, make the donation. Do what,
Speaker 1: but but don't do it like Newsom and the guy
Speaker 1: who is speaking of podcast the guy who hosts pod
Speaker 1: Save America, which Newsom was allowed to come on to
Speaker 1: over the weekend into a thirty minute interview where he
Speaker 1: just blamed Trump, got no difficult questions, and then announced
Speaker 1: a relief fund. Wait to hear the details of the
Speaker 1: relief fund. The scumbaggery rolls on next, hang on, Okay,
Speaker 1: and I saw I saw a couple of people, one
Speaker 1: account a guy follow on Twitter who actually got into
Speaker 1: a car accident and he's fine, but well he's not fine.
Speaker 1: He's probably beat up, but he didn't break anything. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty nasty. And people are giving me spy So
Speaker 1: Person County, Okay, I'm in Person County. I've been driving
Speaker 1: a garbage truck through the ice all morning. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't want to downplay, but it
Speaker 1: was a little surprising on the news when Ross and
Speaker 1: I heard that like Durham and Orange County, because you know,
Speaker 1: Raleigh largely looks fine. So but that's you know, that's
Speaker 1: how it goes. Remember there was that freak blizzard over
Speaker 1: Ross's house and just Ross's house last week, so you
Speaker 1: never can tell. Here we go Warren County. Our schools
Speaker 1: are closed and super icy. Yeah, so you don't have
Speaker 1: to leave. I recommend you just sit in your house,
Speaker 1: listen to this show, and then when it's done, listen
Speaker 1: to the podcast. Give me the clicks. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: very good. Let me grab a quick phone call here
Speaker 1: on the and this will be the end of the
Speaker 1: markle Harry thing because I just can't this morning, so
Speaker 1: this will be the last take out of Donna. Go
Speaker 1: right ahead, Good morning.
Speaker 8: Casey calling about Megan Marco my mother and I it's
Speaker 8: really my mother's thing. How Megan Marco went over to
Speaker 8: England acting like she was going to change their traditions.
Speaker 1: Like not why but hold on to be fair, why
Speaker 1: why shouldn't she think that considering they've essentially turned London
Speaker 1: into not London anymore?
Speaker 8: Right, Well, well the queen didn't do that, the politicians did.
Speaker 1: Well I'm just saying, if that's that's what's going on
Speaker 1: over there, and you're i think, decided to stamp out
Speaker 1: a lot of British culture and I know that makes
Speaker 1: people upset and call me a racist for it, but London,
Speaker 1: London is definitively different and if there's one thing the
Speaker 1: British loved, it's traditional traditions and customs.
Speaker 8: And so now she's trying to she's trying to push
Speaker 8: him over here with her body language.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I I don't know. I just don't buy it,
Speaker 1: by the way, and who knows, maybe I'm a hundred
Speaker 1: percent wrong. And they just they found themselves on the
Speaker 1: downside of of you know, pr that could have been better,
Speaker 1: but I don't think so well as far as far
Speaker 1: as that cooking.
Speaker 8: As far as that cooking thing goes, you know, the
Speaker 8: grifter's got a grift.
Speaker 1: That was that was really just go, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be the new Martha's Stewart. I think that she probably
Speaker 1: sat in the room with publicists and like, well, why
Speaker 1: don't you be the new Martha Stewart. She's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's great. Do I have to What do I have
Speaker 1: to do? You just have to pretend to cook?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like, I think you can do that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's Unfortunately, that's how cine client. All right, Donna,
Speaker 1: I appreciate.
Speaker 8: It, have a great day.
Speaker 1: Yep, right there you go. Yeah, I know, I honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't even try to hate this much on unelected officials,
Speaker 1: but they make it very difficult. And and frankly, they're
Speaker 1: so they're so jammed up in the woke politics too.
Speaker 1: They you know, they are actively fundraising and promoting for
Speaker 1: the very same people who clearly were derelict in their duty.
Speaker 1: So if I'm in if I'm in a food kitchen
Speaker 1: thing and uh you know, uh uh uh in Pasadena
Speaker 1: because I can't go home anymore, but also I can't
Speaker 1: get a hotel room or get an airbnb, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and probably not want to run into people
Speaker 1: who spend all the rest of their time literally doing
Speaker 1: fundraisers for Gavin Newsom, because I'm pretty mad at him
Speaker 1: right now, and frankly more people should be. So Newsom
Speaker 1: goes news Newsome, I know, people go, oh, it's new
Speaker 1: scum whatever Newsom new scum. These on this podcast is
Speaker 1: pos to save America, right who. By the way, the
Speaker 1: guy who hosts that, and I don't necessarily hate on it.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's very open about who he is, but
Speaker 1: it was very repugnant to let Newsom come on there
Speaker 1: and for a half hour talk about what a great
Speaker 1: job he's doing and not push back. This guy was
Speaker 1: doing interviews. I saw Newsom doing interviews where he was
Speaker 1: saying like all the reservoirs were full and people weren't
Speaker 1: correcting him, except when NBC corrected him, and he went, oh,
Speaker 1: well that one wasn't and but the conversation was about Trump.
Speaker 1: He then flipped it over. But you know, that's a
Speaker 1: city one and I'm the governor of the state, and
Speaker 1: so Trump is stirring up lies. It's all lies, hey, jackass.
Speaker 1: The three that were filled hold a million gallons. The one,
Speaker 1: oh just that one was holds one hundred and seventeen million, which,
Speaker 1: if you do the math, is a crap ton. More So,
Speaker 1: I don't have any I don't have any bandwidth for this.
Speaker 1: But what he did and and and what this this,
Speaker 1: this this host is also doing is repugnant. And that
Speaker 1: is this fund Here we go. California Governor knew Some
Speaker 1: sparked fierce outrage for soliciting donations for the victims of
Speaker 1: the deadly Los Angeles wildfire. Now, why would people get
Speaker 1: mad about that? Because the apparatus, and the portal used
Speaker 1: to take those donations is his pack and the the
Speaker 1: processor is the Democrat parties. Uh uh uh Act blue right,
Speaker 1: So you got Win Red. The Republicans have Win reds.
Speaker 1: If you ever made a donation of the Republicans or
Speaker 1: Republican candidate, likely that portal through Win Red. Okay. On
Speaker 1: the Democrat side, it's Act Blue. And remember Act Blue
Speaker 1: is also, in my opinion frankly in need of a
Speaker 1: deep dive for these these reporting and donation patterns where
Speaker 1: you have people we had a reporter, we had a
Speaker 1: reporter in Raleigh who went to people's homes who live
Speaker 1: in like you know, I go at two bedroom, mid
Speaker 1: range apartment, and yet it showed that they made like
Speaker 1: seven thousand donators, seven thousand dollars worth of donations. And
Speaker 1: you can see the look on their face where they're like,
Speaker 1: I don't have seven thousand dollars, let alone seven thousand
Speaker 1: i'd give to people. And what it looks like, what
Speaker 1: it looks like. And that's why you have to is
Speaker 1: you had you had people who wanted to make donations
Speaker 1: who maybe barred from it or had hit limits, who
Speaker 1: needed to funnel that money in somewhere else. So they
Speaker 1: went and they found people who made like ten dollars
Speaker 1: donations and they they mirrored it or they just increased
Speaker 1: it for the purpose of reporting. Like, there's all sorts
Speaker 1: of crap going on there, but the idea that you
Speaker 1: would have a fundraiser and you're gonna run all that
Speaker 1: money through newsome super pack and the Democrat Party a
Speaker 1: financial portal, which I don't it takes. I think they
Speaker 1: shave four percent for operating costs, or it says on
Speaker 1: their website. It's unclear if that would be waived in
Speaker 1: this case. But also you have to give all your
Speaker 1: identifiable information. Now why would that be? If I want
Speaker 1: to go donate ten dollars to a GoFundMe, I could
Speaker 1: be anonymous. Why do I have to give you likely
Speaker 1: so you can end up on mailing lists? What other reason?
Speaker 1: And God help you if ActBlue gets a hold of
Speaker 1: one of your email addresses, as they have gotten hold
Speaker 1: of mine, because lunatics like that sign me up for stuff. Now,
Speaker 1: to be fair, I did sign up for Cooper's Thing
Speaker 1: with a throwaway email as the Michael Hunt. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: patriartch Mike the Patriarch of the Hunt family and just
Speaker 1: so I could see the crap he was sending out,
Speaker 1: and I ended up on every Democrat mailing list with that,
Speaker 1: with that throwaway Google account. So yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's like nobody in the room went the optics. Optics
Speaker 1: don't look good, just terrible. And then the reason he said,
Speaker 1: as well, you know it makes it. It just it's
Speaker 1: more efficient because we've already vetted, Uh, we've vetted the
Speaker 1: organizations that are gonna get the money. Well, why why
Speaker 1: do I feel like all these organizations are going to
Speaker 1: be deep blue organizations save a few firefighter ones. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of that money probably goes to uh,
Speaker 1: these these these nngos, which are a huge problem anyway,
Speaker 1: it's it's just so messy. Let's see here, not a Senate.
Speaker 1: These donations go to Gavin Newsom or his pack, is
Speaker 1: what they said. Well then why is it literally threw
Speaker 1: his pack? Oh well, they're not going to keep it. Really,
Speaker 1: they're not going to keep any of the money. The
Speaker 1: four percent that it literally says at time of donation
Speaker 1: is being squirreled away for operating costs. Excuse me, it's
Speaker 1: three point ninety five percent. Uh, they say that it
Speaker 1: is to cover the processing cost. Really, it just it
Speaker 1: looks bad even at every single cent, even if they
Speaker 1: waive that and every single set goes there, it's just
Speaker 1: a really suss way to do this, as the kids
Speaker 1: would say, So forgive me if I'm if I'm down
Speaker 1: on this stuff. There's just so much from over the weekend,
Speaker 1: the looters man, the looterer.
Speaker 9: We had several more arrest overnight, bringing our total to
Speaker 9: proximate and I'm gonna say approximately because they're still trying
Speaker 9: to reckon sile numbers about twenty nine, twenty five and
Speaker 9: the Eaton fire area and four in the Palisades area.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna guess the Chief McDonald may talk about this.
Speaker 9: But when I was out there in the Malibu area,
Speaker 9: I saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter and
Speaker 9: I asked him if he was okay because he was
Speaker 9: sitting down. I didn't realize we had him in handcuffs.
Speaker 1: We are turning them over.
Speaker 9: To LAPD because he was dressed like a fireman and
Speaker 9: he was not. He just got caught burglarizing a home.
Speaker 9: So that those are issues that are frontline deputies and
Speaker 9: police officers are dealing with.
Speaker 1: You know, in Florida, at least they had a good
Speaker 1: sense to shoot looters, right Remember the sheriff there who
Speaker 1: was like, hey, if somebody comes to loute your house,
Speaker 1: do us a favor and make sure you have a gun. Right,
Speaker 1: you're just I'm sorry the people who prey on people
Speaker 1: when they are at their worst. Right to the wood
Speaker 1: chipper man. I just nothing. And by the way, they
Speaker 1: didn't just a homes. Did you see what they looted
Speaker 1: in Tustin If you don't know where Tustin is, because
Speaker 1: I saw people trying to point out, well this is
Speaker 1: this is in la. It's not attached to what's going Tustin.
Speaker 1: Is it borders Anaheim? Shut up? Okay, it's just a
Speaker 1: small one. Most people haven't heard of it. It borders
Speaker 1: Anaheim and Santa Anna. It's right there in Orange County.
Speaker 1: Shut up. Anyway, So they stole they broke into an
Speaker 1: army reserve center and they stole three humbies. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I got the whole list here. They stole three humbies.
Speaker 1: One of them's armored. The other two are the cloth
Speaker 1: door ones. But one of them is a fully armored Humby.
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. They stole a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: Here we go, forty binoculars, eight machine gun vehicle mounts,
Speaker 1: seven machine gun tripods. Thankfully no machine guns. They did
Speaker 1: attempt to access the armory portion of it, and then
Speaker 1: also another locked facility in there where they had uniform
Speaker 1: stuff but were unable to gain access. They got eighteen
Speaker 1: bayonets and an unspecified amount of medical equipment. They literally
Speaker 1: looted an army reserve center. What are we doing? And
Speaker 1: by the way, how does I would assume that a
Speaker 1: camoed up military style armored Humby stands out even in California?
Speaker 1: Where'd you even go with this?
Speaker 6: Actually?
Speaker 1: You know what, probably actually this would be a good
Speaker 1: time to steal a Humvey because there, you know, you
Speaker 1: have the Army reservists down there as part of the
Speaker 1: fire effort, and there's probably some humvies banging around. So
Speaker 1: they didn't get any guns, but still they stole that
Speaker 1: crap the audacity of it. If you're going to steal
Speaker 1: a piece of military equipment, at least do like the
Speaker 1: guy in San Diego steal the tank drive down the
Speaker 1: middle of the street. But on a show man that
Speaker 1: was wild. But no in the in this case, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got you got that. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: sign any of the videos where people there's a video
Speaker 1: this woman and her husband film they're standing in their
Speaker 1: cul de sac, right, and they're like they're just out
Speaker 1: there filming all these like the vans are pulling up
Speaker 1: real slow through there. There's like six dudes inside. They
Speaker 1: try to talk to them, the van like flips a
Speaker 1: U turn and screeches off, like just opportunists man out
Speaker 1: there doing this. And the difference is in California, the
Speaker 1: likelihood have you been able to stop them if they
Speaker 1: want to come in there is probably a lot less
Speaker 1: All right, seven twenty Cacoda Radio program I got I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find a non fire related star.
Speaker 6: I got one.
Speaker 1: Okay, once again, science stop. I'll explain why next hang
Speaker 1: on all the thing that I mentioned, and we'll mention
Speaker 1: over the course of the show. The thing that really
Speaker 1: had my blood boiling over the weekend was this.
Speaker 10: This morning, due to the magnitude of the disaster, I
Speaker 10: was talking with the governor. He requested if I could
Speaker 10: increase the federal funding that was authorized under this legislation
Speaker 10: for from seventy five percent to ninety percent We're increasing
Speaker 10: it to one hundred percent of all the costs to
Speaker 10: be covered by the federal government for both the fire
Speaker 10: management SISSUS grants and the elements of what they call
Speaker 10: the disaster declaration. So today I'm announcing that the federal
Speaker 10: government will cover one hundred percent of the cost for
Speaker 10: one hundred and eighty days. It's going to pay for
Speaker 10: things like debrisand hazard material. We're removal temporary shelters, first responders, salaries,
Speaker 10: and all necessary measures to protect life and property and folks.
Speaker 10: I'm on underscore.
Speaker 1: I told the governor local officials.
Speaker 10: Spare no expense to do what they need to do
Speaker 10: and contain these fires and in their communities that really
Speaker 10: have been devastating.
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't live in western North Carolina, but
Speaker 1: I feel like if I did, I probably would have
Speaker 1: stroked out in anger, because I don't know if you
Speaker 1: caught any of it over the weekend. Do you know
Speaker 1: what a massive amount of individuals, private and even elected
Speaker 1: officials were up to this weekend convincing FEMA not to
Speaker 1: throw people out of their motels and hotels into a snowstorm.
Speaker 1: And FEMA was going to do it, they had it
Speaker 1: come to an end going into a weekend. The office
Speaker 1: wouldn't reopen on Monday. Feasibly, people could have had two
Speaker 1: nights before they could go in and even ask FEMA again.
Speaker 1: And this son of a he gave him one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty days. You heard the temporary shelters in there.
Speaker 1: This happened on the one, one hundred and seventh day
Speaker 1: after Helene. It is pure apples to apples one percent.
Speaker 1: By the way, FEMA has still only delivered ninety some homes,
Speaker 1: those little homes, they haven't even hit the hundred mark.
Speaker 1: There's five thousand families they estimate that are their homes
Speaker 1: are gone gone. And he's out there with a big
Speaker 1: grin on his Oh, we're gonna do one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty days, spare no expense. All that line killed me.
Speaker 1: While in North Carolina. It took a Tennessee congressman, a
Speaker 1: North Carolina congressman, a North Carolina Senator. And yes, and
Speaker 1: I said this, I said this last week. I won't
Speaker 1: criticized Josh Stein. When he does bad stuff, I will come.
Speaker 1: I will give him credit. His office seemed to be
Speaker 1: very much involved in getting those extended. So people don't
Speaker 1: get thrown on the snow, thrown out in the snow. However,
Speaker 1: please follow this through. How dare the president sit there
Speaker 1: and say he's gonna give one hundred and eighty days
Speaker 1: here spare no expense, and people are literally begging for
Speaker 1: their lives. Arguably, you know, you get thrown out in
Speaker 1: the cold, don't have anywhere to go. You maybe make
Speaker 1: the decision you're going to sleep in the vehicle, the
Speaker 1: one vehicle that maybe you have, and it's it's it's
Speaker 1: remarkably easy to freeze to death in those situations if
Speaker 1: if you're not careful. You know, I spun I spun
Speaker 1: off a road one time into it was snow. It
Speaker 1: is the pure Wyoming snowstorm. Spun off a road on
Speaker 1: this back road that I would take over to get
Speaker 1: to Story, Wyoming, which is halfway between Sheridan and Buffalo.
Speaker 1: That there's nothing along it. It's all you know, it's
Speaker 1: big ranches all along. Spun off the road in the ditch,
Speaker 1: could not get out and and praying. There was so
Speaker 1: much snow, even if even informable drive, there was so
Speaker 1: much no it required hours of digging. The problem was
Speaker 1: it was like nine o'clock at night and I then
Speaker 1: had to make the decision to sleep in there, and
Speaker 1: I carry full kit and everything in there, because that's
Speaker 1: just what you do in Wyoming when you got to
Speaker 1: drive these distance you have thermal blankets, you have food,
Speaker 1: you have you know, you essentially have survival stuff in
Speaker 1: your vehicle. They sell it. You go to the walmart
Speaker 1: and buy one and shared. In Wyoming they have like
Speaker 1: a why don't mean survival kit, it's called Wyoming. But
Speaker 1: then you just keep it in your car and you
Speaker 1: and then it was pretty awful, pretty awful, and then
Speaker 1: i'd you know, the only way I got warmed up
Speaker 1: is that I would get out and then I would
Speaker 1: start shoveling some and then get a couple of hours sleep,
Speaker 1: and then eventually in the morning somebody came by. I mean,
Speaker 1: those roads are so bare and people don't drive by
Speaker 1: for literally hours and hours at a time, and you
Speaker 1: just start getting lethargic. And obviously I'm doing work to
Speaker 1: warm myself up, but that sap and energy as well.
Speaker 1: It's really dangerous. And it required a governor, a senator,
Speaker 1: and some congressman just to get FEMA to do what
Speaker 1: they're doing for California. It lets you know where the
Speaker 1: priorities are now. To be fair, I don't know if
Speaker 1: President silver Alert even knows what he's saying. As evidence
Speaker 1: by the other thing you said, do you regret your
Speaker 1: decision to run into re election? Do you think that
Speaker 1: that made it easier for your predecet urch not become
Speaker 1: very successful? I don't think so.
Speaker 10: I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump,
Speaker 10: and I think that Kamala could have beaten Trump would
Speaker 10: have been Trump ross.
Speaker 1: What do you think do you think Kamala could have
Speaker 1: beaten Trump? Maybe or Biden, but let's go come. Do
Speaker 1: you think Kamala could have beaten Trump? We may never know.
Speaker 1: It wasn't about.
Speaker 10: I thought it was important to unify the party, and
Speaker 10: when the party was worried about whether or not I
Speaker 10: was going to be able to move, I thought, even
Speaker 10: though I thought I could win again, I thought it
Speaker 10: was better to unify the party. And it was the
Speaker 10: greatest honor in my life to be president on the States.
Speaker 10: But I didn't want to be one who caused a
Speaker 10: party that wasn't unified to lose an election, and that's
Speaker 10: why I stepped aside. But I was confident she could win.
Speaker 1: All right, So I don't know what the hell he's
Speaker 1: talking about. There one the part reason I think Kamala
Speaker 1: could have won, then the last part where he seems
Speaker 1: to recognize that she didn't win, but also he thinks
Speaker 1: that he kept from fracturing the Democrat Party. I don't know, Bro,
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe that i'd like, I firmly believe
Speaker 1: you did the Kamala thing as a nephew, and you
Speaker 1: know what, I liked it right because they did. They
Speaker 1: three under the bus. I don't care if I disagree.
Speaker 1: They three under the bus and you're like, I don't
Speaker 1: burn it down. I can respect that. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me have a call on this. Oh well,
Speaker 1: Steve doesn't think it's apples table Steve.
Speaker 2: So hey, Katie, I just wanted to comment on your
Speaker 2: statement about the fire versus the hurricane. One hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty days versus one hundred and seven. Where we're at,
Speaker 2: I think you said now. The only difference I would
Speaker 2: add to that is they mismanaged everything, and the poor
Speaker 2: people at western North Carolina couldn't mismanage a freaking arcade.
Speaker 2: These people couldn't do the water. They hired a bunch
Speaker 2: of idiots to run the fucking apartment. It's unbelievable that
Speaker 2: the federal government, not that they shouldn't help, but they
Speaker 2: turned their facts on the people that couldn't couldn't mismanage
Speaker 2: a freaking ricade. They were just hid. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry when I say apples to apples, I totally
Speaker 1: one hundred percent agree with you when I say apples
Speaker 1: to apples. What Biden's saying is the disaster declaration that
Speaker 1: was filed by the state of California. They're going to
Speaker 1: honor the full terms. Now, we filed a disaster declaration
Speaker 1: of the state of North Carolina and we got you know,
Speaker 1: we got rug pooled or whatever. So yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: part two disaster declarations, both asking for the same thing.
Speaker 1: One gets the fully funded spare no expense and the
Speaker 1: other one is begging not to get kicked out of
Speaker 1: a Motel six in Conway or Conroe or you know.
Speaker 1: It's crazy to do anything.
Speaker 6: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Well it's now, sir, they've delivered ninety five houses out
Speaker 1: of five thousand. Yeah, so I mean that's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's lunacy. And yes, the same anger that you're filling with.
Speaker 1: I had to lie every time I saw something on
Speaker 1: this and I saw, you know, I was scrolling my
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Steve by Twitter, timeline, and I
Speaker 1: see a couple of these these these volunteers right, just
Speaker 1: people have kind of made it their mission to try
Speaker 1: to help everyone in western North Carolina that are constantly
Speaker 1: being a pain in elected officials behind, which is a
Speaker 1: good thing, like we need to get this FEMA everyone.
Speaker 1: And they spent their whole weeking, begging, begging, only to
Speaker 1: get you know what, did they extend it to the fourteenth,
Speaker 1: so tomorrow, which still is not one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: days if you do the math. All right, Jeff mar
Speaker 1: from the Weather Channel, since we're talking about storms, let's
Speaker 1: do this. It's crazy, Jeff. You know we broadcast are
Speaker 1: we ranged from Raleigh over you know, Triad Triangle over
Speaker 1: to Greensboro, and I'm getting pictures from all around. Could
Speaker 1: be you could be one county over and think it
Speaker 1: never snowed, and then then the other one you're going skiing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's talk about that. And is there going
Speaker 1: to be more of that?
Speaker 11: Well, we're gonna luckily start off this week with a
Speaker 11: pretty quiet weather pattern, but then late in the week,
Speaker 11: as we had towards Friday, late at night and into Saturday,
Speaker 11: we'll have rain developing and then some of the models
Speaker 11: hitting it, maybe potential force and more winter weather early
Speaker 11: next week, heading towards next Monday Tuesday, so we'll keep
Speaker 11: an eye out for that. In the meantime, we're going
Speaker 11: to see some clouds. Initially today be su sun we'll
Speaker 11: break through during the afternoon. We'll hover near fifty for
Speaker 11: a high and then dip all the way down to
Speaker 11: the mid twenties tonight with the clear sky and light wins.
Speaker 11: Tomorrow sunny, breezy, a cooler day, a high of forty four.
Speaker 11: A loan you're twenty Tomorrow night and are a clear sky,
Speaker 11: a lot of sun Wednesday high in the upper thirties.
Speaker 11: We'll rebund a little bit later in the week with
Speaker 11: sunshine on Thursday and Friday. Highs in the upper forties
Speaker 11: Thursday into the low fifties Friday, and then the rain
Speaker 11: develops in at the start of the weekend on Saturday,
Speaker 11: before cooler weather early next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, well, I guess we'll see three day weekend
Speaker 1: for a lot of folks. So maybe that'll be a
Speaker 1: good thing. All right, thank you so much. Do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: You got it, Thank you you goo. Jeff Maher from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel, all right, we've got some more audio.
Speaker 1: Let me play some ma adio that's not going to
Speaker 1: make you want to punch your radio. I think we
Speaker 1: can go ahead and try. Oh yeah, we'll play the
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, Yeah, yeah, love it. We'll get to it next.
Speaker 1: Hang on to the former lawyer to Trump who then
Speaker 1: stole from Trump and then went to jail for stealing
Speaker 1: from Trump and some other stuff. Michael Cohen. He's out,
Speaker 1: and he's of course immediately they have him on CNN,
Speaker 1: MSNBC all the time, not because he's qualified for anything,
Speaker 1: just because hey, you hate Trump, good good, we'll have you.
Speaker 1: So he goes on MSNBC and he is gras, he's begging, man,
Speaker 1: listen to this and listen to the response regarding the pardon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I put in the application for a presidential pardon
Speaker 4: because I believe that Joe Biden has the same responsibility
Speaker 4: to me that he had to his own son, and
Speaker 4: I would expect that the same exact pardon that he
Speaker 4: gave his son has to go to me and to
Speaker 4: anybody else that's on that enemy's list, whether they want
Speaker 4: it or not. Because I assure you solitary confinement where
Speaker 4: I did fifty one days sucks.
Speaker 12: I think, HINESI will always be twenty twenty. I guess
Speaker 12: my question is have you heard from the Biden administration?
Speaker 12: I am struck by your your your You're comparing yourself
Speaker 12: and Hunter Biden, and I wonder if well, i'med to
Speaker 12: tell you Michael Causes on National TV we have a conversation.
Speaker 12: I don't necessarily think that's your best way to go
Speaker 12: get a part. And I mean, Hunter Biden is the
Speaker 12: president's last surviving son. But your point, your other point,
Speaker 12: why I do think is a product the way agreed.
Speaker 12: You are somebody's sign. But I mean to be very clear,
Speaker 12: you're not the president's son.
Speaker 1: And and and what's what's wild one is is Cohen complaining.
Speaker 1: But also her logic. Her logic is not that it's
Speaker 1: a bad idea for Cohen. It's that he's not going
Speaker 1: about it the right way, and it that the president
Speaker 1: son's pardon was fully justified. She's operating on that assumption,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't think Cohen rises to the level instead
Speaker 1: of I think how most people look at it, and
Speaker 1: I know it's because polling shows this. They don't think
Speaker 1: the presidential son pardons. Okay, and she's just decided it is.
Speaker 1: But this is what you're dealing. You're dealing with the lunatics. Man,
Speaker 1: how do I know? Let's uh, these actresses, I don't
Speaker 1: have their names in front of me. I don't care.
Speaker 1: All right, So these are two black actresses who they're
Speaker 1: interviewing about the fires. Okay, all right, let's uh, what
Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong? Let me tell you something. She's
Speaker 1: got a spine of steel.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 1: And this is the mayor they're talking about, the mayor
Speaker 1: who everyone hates. Right now, this is who they're talking about.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. She's got a spine of steel, yes.
Speaker 13: And she's also been a black woman in America a
Speaker 13: very long time, so none of this is new to her.
Speaker 13: We're mad because we're tired of it. We're mad for her,
Speaker 13: and we're gonna instead listen. I don't know how you hear,
Speaker 13: but I'm head. I'm happy you're here because somebody needs
Speaker 13: to say.
Speaker 4: Stand but you know, behind her and support her, because
Speaker 4: how she hadn't you can see it in her face.
Speaker 1: She stays calm. But think about this, she has the
Speaker 1: city to take care of.
Speaker 6: She does not have.
Speaker 13: And she is also not mayor of every municipality in California.
Speaker 13: There are people that are mad that she didn't fix
Speaker 13: the fires in Malibu. She's not the mayor of Malibu.
Speaker 12: What is she supposed to do in the city.
Speaker 1: She's not the mayor of people don't understand. And let
Speaker 1: me say this too.
Speaker 13: I can imagine how much it would hurt to see
Speaker 13: this happening in the city that she loves. That's first,
Speaker 13: So take away how it appeals for people to attack her.
Speaker 13: She's heartbroken because this is happening in her city, a city.
Speaker 1: That these women are lunatics race above everything else. That's
Speaker 1: what this is about. Congratulations, you're the Klan now, by
Speaker 1: the way, right even to your own destitution. You stick
Speaker 1: with this ideology. It's it's insane. And and and she's
Speaker 1: standing there, she's doing photo ops at the at command
Speaker 1: centers with girl bosses. Do you guys, You guys realize
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not playing the rest of their audio. I just can't
Speaker 1: with these two. There is so this one. I think
Speaker 1: it was Justine Bateman who put this out. So she is,
Speaker 1: she's she's friends with one of the former city council members,
Speaker 1: and there's there's one of these how the sausage has
Speaker 1: made situations and it has to do with her being
Speaker 1: in Ghana. Okay, so she goes over to Ghana. New
Speaker 1: president's coming in, She's doing all that stuff. She was
Speaker 1: part of a presidential delegation. By the way, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize it was a full on presidential delegation, but it is.
Speaker 1: And when she's not in the city, the lieutenant or
Speaker 1: not lieutenant, the assistant mayor or whatever whatever that title is,
Speaker 1: her number two is in charge. It kind of works
Speaker 1: like when the North Carolina governor leaves the lieutenant governors
Speaker 1: technically kind of in charge. The problem is the only
Speaker 1: way to get some of those services moving and the
Speaker 1: notifications and the ball rolling on evacuations is the mayor
Speaker 1: has to make a declaration. Apparently Bass doesn't let her
Speaker 1: number two make big decisions, and so there is a
Speaker 1: high likelihood that it was delayed for over a day
Speaker 1: when this fire first broke out. That's the that is,
Speaker 1: that is the opinion of a former La City council
Speaker 1: member served with the Lieutenant mayor or lieutenant whatever the
Speaker 1: title is. Because Bass is ego, and so both Bass
Speaker 1: and her number two didn't do things until she could
Speaker 1: get back there, or she could make the decision to
Speaker 1: tell her underlean to go ahead and do it. So
Speaker 1: don't give me this garbage. Don't give me this garbage.
Speaker 1: And because she and again it's not that she went
Speaker 1: to Ghana, it's the immediately if she's standing over in
Speaker 1: Ghana and she's ignoring reporters questions about it. I had
Speaker 1: How did I have no idea of this Royal Caribbean
Speaker 1: cruise stories. This is awful. It sounds like because Royal
Speaker 1: Caribbean really kind of well, for obvious reasons, didn't want
Speaker 1: this to become a big story. Sorry, I just saw this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna skip over to this real quick.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, first of all, let me just say this,
Speaker 1: if you were on a Royal Caribbean cruise, depending on
Speaker 1: when it was and which ship it was, there might
Speaker 1: be video of you naked on the internet, not because
Speaker 1: you had the drink package and things got crazy and
Speaker 1: you're like, I can skin he did no no, no, no, no
Speaker 1: no no, people who were not doing that. So a
Speaker 1: crew member from Royal Caribbean by the name of Arvin Mirasol.
Speaker 1: He is a state room attendant. So he's the you know,
Speaker 1: the guy who brings you order some takeout or if
Speaker 1: you need a pillow or when you know, he cleans
Speaker 1: and so he's so he is, and this is important.
Speaker 1: He spends most of his day in and out of staterooms.
Speaker 1: According to prosecutors in Miami. That's what they're based out
Speaker 1: of for Broward County specifically, I guess, so just north
Speaker 1: of Miami. Mirasol, a thirty four year old is from
Speaker 1: the Philippines. You know, you go on a cruise ships
Speaker 1: and most most of the workers that are not United
Speaker 1: States workers for salary reasons. Yeah, and specifically on Symphony
Speaker 1: of the Seas. I promise you somebody listening to me
Speaker 1: right now has been on Symphony of the Seas. This
Speaker 1: would be I don't know the range here. They busted him.
Speaker 1: I guess they busted him in March. That's why it's
Speaker 1: crazy that we're just hearing about this. But now the
Speaker 1: prosecution's caught up and there's a new lawsuit that got filed.
Speaker 1: So he was on Symphony of the Seas. For why
Speaker 1: would is it not say you would think he put
Speaker 1: a range. He's actually worked on several ships. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he'd been there a while, all right, So here's what
Speaker 1: they think. Here's what they found this dude doing. He
Speaker 1: was installing cameras in the bathrooms of the staterooms. But
Speaker 1: it gets worse. He would then take the video that
Speaker 1: was recorded and then he would share it on the
Speaker 1: internet with people on you know, one of these amateur
Speaker 1: clip side or whatever, and then some of his dark
Speaker 1: web stuff too. It's it's all really just the scummiest
Speaker 1: and the reason some of it's on the dark web
Speaker 1: is because the victims, some are as young as ten.
Speaker 1: And this is where this is the part's going to
Speaker 1: make your skin crawl, Mirasol stated, because he you know,
Speaker 1: he basically confessed to it. Mirasol stayed that what he
Speaker 1: also would do is he would wait for the occupant,
Speaker 1: who he'd get a beat on, who the occupant was
Speaker 1: in the stateroom to be in the shower. He would
Speaker 1: enter the stateroom, hide under the bed and film them
Speaker 1: with his phone. So at some point if you were
Speaker 1: on Symphony of the Seas. There is a possibility that
Speaker 1: a tiny Filipino man was under your bed as you
Speaker 1: got out of the shower, which you were filmed, because
Speaker 1: there's already a hidden camera in your bathroom. And the
Speaker 1: whole time you're out, you're taling off, you're grabbing some
Speaker 1: clothes to wear, doing what you do because you think
Speaker 1: you're in the privacy of your things, so you're not
Speaker 1: really in a hurry. There's some perv literally under your
Speaker 1: bed filming you, which explains why the story pri didn't
Speaker 1: get a lot of things. It's because it sounds like
Speaker 1: a Royal Caribbean and prosecutors only contacted a small amount
Speaker 1: of victims, just enough so that they could prosecute him. Well,
Speaker 1: it got out, and now there's a giant lawsuit from
Speaker 1: literally a bunch of people who were filmed because nobody
Speaker 1: told them. Even though prosecutors had information it may have
Speaker 1: been identifiable, it never got back to him and others
Speaker 1: who traveled around the time on this ship that he
Speaker 1: was he was on there. Also, have you ever been
Speaker 1: in a crew. You've never taken a cruise, right that
Speaker 1: would require you to leave the country, so probably not
Speaker 1: what wouldn't require you, but usually it does. How the
Speaker 1: hell are you underneath the bed? Have you been in
Speaker 1: a state room? They're like a postage stamp man. I've
Speaker 1: like I even had an upgraded cabin for the one
Speaker 1: cruise that I took, and I was still like this,
Speaker 1: Like this shower was like who is this for? Is
Speaker 1: this for dwarves? What is this? So like he'd have
Speaker 1: to be a very tiny dude to fit under that.
Speaker 6: Bet.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think he could get under those beds.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe that's where they store suitcases. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he's just hiding under there with a phone and people
Speaker 1: didn't know. That's scary stuff right there. Man, that's the
Speaker 1: whole Boogeyman under your bed adult version right there. And
Speaker 1: you're just doing whatever you're doing and thinking it's all private.
Speaker 1: And also think of all the weird stuff you do
Speaker 1: when you're all you think you're alone. I mean, not me,
Speaker 1: but you you know weird people. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Now how much are they going to punish him? Does
Speaker 1: it even say in this article? I literally was I'd
Speaker 1: only half read this article by the time we came back.
Speaker 1: Sally was not as prepared as I should have been
Speaker 1: all he doesn't say, all right, so what all do they?
Speaker 1: What all they get? So they they how many pats?
Speaker 1: They think? Nine hundred and sixty different passengers? This guy
Speaker 1: was a busy boy and now is now there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big class action lawsuit, and there probably should be.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, maybe not because they necessarily knew what he
Speaker 1: was gonna be up to, but this whole thing where
Speaker 1: they're not making every effort to notify their customers that
Speaker 1: they might have been filmed by a well he had
Speaker 1: ten year old pictures of pedophile who's under their bed? No,
Speaker 1: that is holy hell man. And I'd never been on
Speaker 1: a Royal Caribbean. The one cruise I took was on
Speaker 1: Holland America because we had you know what prompted it
Speaker 1: years ago. I did ads for the Holland America's Alaska tour, right,
Speaker 1: and I've done an Alaska tour of myself, not on
Speaker 1: a ship, but I've you know, done a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff they're doing with I catch a can and
Speaker 1: that amazing train up there and the Nali and it's
Speaker 1: it's just really cool. But also I wanted to be
Speaker 1: able to talk about being on a halland America ship.
Speaker 1: So I booked and I paid for it. By the way,
Speaker 1: it want to be clear, I booked a trip when
Speaker 1: you know, the standard Caribbean kind of thing, and I
Speaker 1: Cruisian wasn't really for me. But that's okay. So I've
Speaker 1: never been on Royal Caribbean, but I do see people
Speaker 1: knock them over stuff, and I've never really understood why
Speaker 1: that is. But this might be a good reason. Good
Speaker 1: lord man, sorry you got distracted, but you would too.
Speaker 1: So if anybody anybody been on this ship, let me
Speaker 1: do this. Anybody been on Symphony of the Seas, help
Speaker 1: me explain how a pedophile could hide under the bed
Speaker 1: of a stateroom. Eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 1: eight seven four is the phone number. Eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four. It's also weird
Speaker 1: because you think you'd notice ross if you're think you're alone,
Speaker 1: but you and then somebody is nearby but you can't
Speaker 1: see them. Are you able to kind of sense that
Speaker 1: somebody's around? Even if I do it all the time, yeah,
Speaker 1: time like I feel like and it's it's not that
Speaker 1: you have the sixth sense, it's your body putting together
Speaker 1: maybe a little thing you heard or just convinced that
Speaker 1: people are staring at me, like all the time, Like
Speaker 1: wherever I go, there's somebody. Well, you're wearing the big
Speaker 1: Viking hat like the dude was wearing who stormed the Capitol.
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's probably what they're looking at. No,
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you like you, if somebody's looking at you,
Speaker 1: it's like this inherent thing where you can.
Speaker 7: I mean we've all done that in traffic right where
Speaker 7: you're sitting there and you can tell the person next
Speaker 7: to you staring at you.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So like, so if you were one of these people,
Speaker 1: you also now have to think that that radar sense
Speaker 1: thing is broken. How that's the creepy that's the creepiest feeling,
Speaker 1: if there is such a thing, Like the creepiest internal
Speaker 1: feeling for me would be that my radars broke. And
Speaker 1: if I wasn't able to see the five foot one
Speaker 1: little Filipino guy with the camera under my bed in
Speaker 1: a postage stamp of a room, what else am I missing?
Speaker 1: That's I think that emotion that would be like my
Speaker 1: emotional internal reaction. And then there's all the horribleness too,
Speaker 1: with the idea that somebody's ten year old daughters on
Speaker 1: the dark web getting out of a shower naked, or
Speaker 1: somebody's wife or your sister or your mom. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the it's the under the bed parts that really got
Speaker 1: it for me, all right. I do want to hear
Speaker 1: from somebody who's been on the shop. I'm sure we have.
Speaker 1: This is like one of the biggest cruise ships in
Speaker 1: the world. Has anybody been on Symphony of the Seas?
Speaker 1: And uh, do you think you would notice a tiny
Speaker 1: Filipino man with a camera hiding in your stateroom? Eight
Speaker 1: eight eight nine three four seven eight seven fourth Not
Speaker 1: the topic I thought we were going to get into
Speaker 1: this morning. But we'll go ahead and do this thing.
Speaker 1: This is why the hell not? All right? Switching gears.
Speaker 1: The President of Venezuela has in a speech yesterday said
Speaker 1: that he's going to invade the United States with Brazilian troops.
Speaker 1: I don't what what what?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: You have to And again you have to remember that
Speaker 1: this dude thinks he is blood of Boulevar. And if
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't understand or even have a
Speaker 1: littles and I did not until I traveled extensively in
Speaker 1: South America. Boulevar is a very like there's a ref
Speaker 1: you did you watch Narcos? Did you ever watch Narcos?
Speaker 1: There's a whole scene in there, and it's a true story.
Speaker 1: And I think I've mentioned this before in Narcos, which
Speaker 1: I think is a great show, in that first season
Speaker 1: where Pablo Escobar wants the sword of Simone Boulevard because
Speaker 1: it's a status thing. It's a it's a cheese mo thing,
Speaker 1: and he literally tricks a bunch of kamis into going
Speaker 1: and and bombing out something and and arseny in a building.
Speaker 1: But also they get him the sword, which he then
Speaker 1: kills somebody with. But spoiler, So that's the kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So this dude is Maduro thinks he is a direct
Speaker 1: descendant of Simone Boulevard, who, by the way, didn't even
Speaker 1: like his own country enough to stick around. And then
Speaker 1: when it became president of Peru, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: But not before screwing with Columbia. This is like, this
Speaker 1: is this is his you know, he's he's dictator. He
Speaker 1: is Kim Jong un in that mindset, which I guess
Speaker 1: you'd have to be to subjugate your people like that.
Speaker 1: And so like, you're not going to do anything, but
Speaker 1: he's talking about it. But I just think it's so weird,
Speaker 1: Like what is what do the Brazilian troops have to
Speaker 1: do with this?
Speaker 14: Why?
Speaker 1: And why would Brazilian troops want to come up here.
Speaker 1: The only thing I know that Brazilians like to come
Speaker 1: up here for, and Ross had to point it out
Speaker 1: to me, is to go one hundred at a time
Speaker 1: shirtless to ride rides at Disney World. Is that an
Speaker 1: accurate description, by the way, right, Like they're not here
Speaker 1: to invade anything. And then it made sense to me
Speaker 1: when I thought about it. I think the reason is
Speaker 1: because all the military age males in Venezuela already here,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't have any to draw on. So there's
Speaker 1: that what are they doing while while they're here, well
Speaker 1: down in Texas they're running hotel sex prisons, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, what is a hotel sex prison? You ask, No,
Speaker 1: it's not an S and M thing that would be
Speaker 1: consenting and that's for people who want to do that. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: So this is Barbie is they're calling her. She is
Speaker 1: a member of Trendea Ragua and she was she came
Speaker 1: to the country. They knew her to be a sex trafficker.
Speaker 1: What do you think they did when she came to
Speaker 1: the country. They let her stay. They did put an
Speaker 1: anklet on her though, so there's that which she took off. Well,
Speaker 1: they finally arrested her and it turns out miss Primera,
Speaker 1: her name is a Stephanie Stephanie Promira, had taken over
Speaker 1: a hotel outside of Opaso called the Gateway Hotel, trafficked
Speaker 1: in sex slaves and was running a hotel sex prison
Speaker 1: because the girls were not allowed to leave. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're busy, so that's probably why he's got to go
Speaker 1: to Brazil to do that. And if you read the
Speaker 1: the story here, it's everything awful that she could do,
Speaker 1: include branding girls. She broke one of their girl's foot
Speaker 1: who tried to escape with a small sledgehammer. I guess,
Speaker 1: just just awfulness, man. And she would regularly drug them
Speaker 1: with a combination of fentanyl and I guess, and the
Speaker 1: and illicit drugs. So she's mixing fentanyl into you know,
Speaker 1: cocaine or something. Just awful, man, just awful. And she
Speaker 1: had five she got five little kids too, which she
Speaker 1: would use to drug to move the drugs so all
Speaker 1: the all the things, and Venezuela says, we're not allowed
Speaker 1: to send anybody back. Air drop her in. How about
Speaker 1: that air drop her into Venezuela if they don't want
Speaker 1: to take him back. But that's why he said he
Speaker 1: wants to evade the US, because the Homan is like, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you won't take them, we'll drop them in another
Speaker 1: country nearby and they can walk in, which probably Columbia
Speaker 1: doesn't like the sound of that, most likely. All right,
Speaker 1: it is eight twenty one here on the CACOD radio program.
Speaker 1: We got to do a canceling. We got a canceling.
Speaker 1: We'll do it next. Hang on of a thirty four
Speaker 1: year old Philippine national. He was working for Real Caribbean
Speaker 1: on the Symphony of the Seas. He'd been innother ships previously.
Speaker 1: Back in March. They busted them and now we got
Speaker 1: a new lawsuit, which is why the story's reemerging. So
Speaker 1: they busted him and he was he was installing hidden
Speaker 1: cameras and state rooms. He was a state room attendance,
Speaker 1: so we had access to all the staterooms. But the
Speaker 1: creepiest thing, and this is his own admission, he would
Speaker 1: wait until he knew that a victim was in the
Speaker 1: cabin alone, and then he could hear the shower. He
Speaker 1: know when the shower was running. He would sneak into
Speaker 1: the room, hide under the bed and film them naked
Speaker 1: and then post it to the internet. And some of
Speaker 1: the victims were as youngest ten. And the problem is
Speaker 1: is they think that he may he'd been there so long,
Speaker 1: and the Royal Caribbean and the prosecutors only contacted a
Speaker 1: couple of the victims so that they could prosecute, and
Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to be a lot of effort made
Speaker 1: for other victims. And I think that's so that's why
Speaker 1: the lawsuits filed there. It's just horrific stuff. But it's
Speaker 1: the part where like that sense that you have when
Speaker 1: somebody's around or somebody's looking at you and kind of
Speaker 1: feel it. It's almost like an innate, primal thing that
Speaker 1: probably kept us from getting eaten by lions too much.
Speaker 1: That failed because clearly they obviously didn't catch them, or
Speaker 1: he would have been busted sooner. So the idea that
Speaker 1: you might have been in a state room with a
Speaker 1: tiny man hiding under the bed with a camera and
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you get under the bed
Speaker 1: of a of a cruise cabin that is that'll make
Speaker 1: your skin crawl, all right, So, Sean, I asked, anyone's
Speaker 1: been on the ship. It's a big ship, symp of
Speaker 1: the sea. Sean, you were on this ship? When were
Speaker 1: you on this ship? I should ask several years ago.
Speaker 15: Actually I've been on other Royal Caribbean since then, but yeah,
Speaker 15: I was on sixteen the seas.
Speaker 1: How is there so much room under the bed that
Speaker 1: a grown man could hide under there and film people?
Speaker 15: Well, that's why I called in. I have no idea
Speaker 15: how unless he pre did something. I mean, those beds
Speaker 15: are like the ones you see in some of the
Speaker 15: hotel rooms where you you know, they have the bumper
Speaker 15: or you can't stick anything under them.
Speaker 1: So some of them get you anything under the bed.
Speaker 1: Some of them flip, yeah, well some of them.
Speaker 6: And we were in the bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole we had about We were in the
Speaker 1: rout under the bed, but you couldn't see out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's his clothes containers. So maybe he cut a hole
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's what I was wondering, because you know, the
Speaker 15: rooms we were in the actual bed would fix and
Speaker 15: then the sofa would fold up and down. But yeah,
Speaker 15: I don't know how normally you would get underneath one
Speaker 15: of those beds unless you cut something out.
Speaker 1: Is real cribby. And I I know nothing, seriously, sir.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about cruising O than the one I
Speaker 1: was on. And I see people knock Royal Caribbean, but
Speaker 1: obviously they're popular. They have the biggest ships out there.
Speaker 15: Right, Yeah, we just went on one this past summer, one
Speaker 15: of the big ones, and we've been really really happy
Speaker 15: with them. So that was the other reason I call
Speaker 15: was that, you know, I've been we've creamed around in
Speaker 15: the Mediterranean as well the Caribbean, and have been really
Speaker 15: very happy with them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I got, I got, I had no beef.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with this. Why they would not go
Speaker 1: out of their way to make sure. I mean, I
Speaker 1: understand the lawyers probably wouldn't want to do it. But
Speaker 1: then when you get busted, now you're gonna get sued.
Speaker 1: So well, I'm sure i'll get factored into your next pricing, sir.
Speaker 1: So whatever, that's suff.
Speaker 6: All right, Yeah, that'd be good, all right, all right.
Speaker 1: Thank you, I really appreciate it, all right, So Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so, that's what I'm thinking. I'm like, he would
Speaker 1: have had to kind of rig that bed if it
Speaker 1: was like the so the one in the cabin that
Speaker 1: I had. You you go to the end of the
Speaker 1: bed and you can lift the whole mattress thing up,
Speaker 1: and then there's a compartment in there to put lug
Speaker 1: or whatever. But like you wouldn't be able to see
Speaker 1: out of it. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: That's that's super creepy. You want another creepy story, just
Speaker 1: because why the heck not. I've just talked so much
Speaker 1: politics here and I got a little more to go.
Speaker 1: Where is this the cows story? I'll be delicate with this.
Speaker 1: It's the story, but it's the fact. It's also the
Speaker 1: part where it's not the first story of its kind
Speaker 1: in recent weeks. All Right, here we go. A farm
Speaker 1: worker has been killed after attempting to hook up with
Speaker 1: one of the dairy cows. So he's forty five. He
Speaker 1: was a farm hand for this dude. I raises, you know,
Speaker 1: dairy cows, their milking and all that, and apparently one
Speaker 1: of the other workers went into the parlor. So they
Speaker 1: call where they do the milking went into the parlor
Speaker 1: and sees this dude lying dead on the ground and
Speaker 1: he don't have any pants on, and so immediately this
Speaker 1: dude rushes over. I probably takes stock of the fact
Speaker 1: that the guy's not wearing any pants, but still it's
Speaker 1: his coworker. He's not moving, rolls the guy over and
Speaker 1: he's wearing something. He's wearing a prophylactic. And then at
Speaker 1: that point it's like ah, And then you realize because
Speaker 1: the guy had adjusted a gate to what was up.
Speaker 1: Apparently he decided, well, nobody's around hook up with his
Speaker 1: cow here, and he got kicked in the chest and
Speaker 1: stopped his heart and there you go. So I have
Speaker 1: a question, not that any of it makes sense to me,
Speaker 1: but why the why the condom? What's up with that?
Speaker 1: I mean, in inherently this is not a safe option.
Speaker 1: That is a giant animal probably not going to be
Speaker 1: down with that. So like that, And then I'm reading
Speaker 1: the story here and which is crazy. And then there's this,
Speaker 1: and then they have an addendum to the story the
Speaker 1: blah blah bah.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 1: The incident comes just months after a Russian tourist who
Speaker 1: allegedly tried to with a cow in Thailand was killed.
Speaker 1: First of all, you're in Thailand, dude, if you're that
Speaker 1: hard up, isn't Thailand where people go for two dollars
Speaker 1: prostitutes and some other really really sortid stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd never been to Thailand, but that's my understanding. And
Speaker 1: and you're like, nah, none of that, it's this cow.
Speaker 1: And then what's even crazier is he's twenty six. According
Speaker 1: to witnesses, because people were around, he was a little intoxicated.
Speaker 1: He stripped off his clothes, ran out into the field,
Speaker 1: attempting first to go after one cow. He realized it
Speaker 1: was a bull, and then was said to have then
Speaker 1: turned his attention to a cow nearby, but she would
Speaker 1: not have it, and she gorged him to death. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with the bull? Bro? Do you think in his
Speaker 1: mind he's like, oh no, not with a bull, man.
Speaker 1: I need to find me a female. I don't know. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't know what goes through people's heads, but holy crap,
Speaker 1: all right, and then we're gonna transition to this Oh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, let me go, let me grab
Speaker 1: this call we got, that's right, we're doing cruise stuff
Speaker 1: all right, Alicia, what's up?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 14: We actually sailed on a sister ship for Royal Caribbean
Speaker 14: in November last year.
Speaker 1: And I want to say he was on Symphony when
Speaker 1: he was arrested, but they say he worked on three
Speaker 1: of the different ships.
Speaker 14: So okay, yeah, our interiors, our interior state room. The
Speaker 14: bed was actually like a frame that was not enclosed
Speaker 14: on the bottom, so you could slide your suitcase under.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and he looks like a very time Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of the men in the Philippines are very small,
Speaker 1: so but like, that's that's just blowing me away. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine that though? Especially and then I'm asking that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pick on you, like the inherently
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, where you can sense
Speaker 1: somebody oh man.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and then you would be like I can't trust
Speaker 14: myself anymore, Like how did I not know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just too bad there wasn't some big burly
Speaker 1: firemen in there, and the guy got the wrong state
Speaker 1: room and this probably would have thrown the guy overboard.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. All right, have a go on,
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Alsia, thank you? All right? Well, then that
Speaker 1: that's even worse. At least with it's all bad. But
Speaker 1: like with the cutting a hole and a framed out thing,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to see him as much. That's
Speaker 1: just under the bed whatever storm and stuff in there,
Speaker 1: and you reach under and you need eye to eye.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get Jeff mar from the weather Channel
Speaker 1: if he's ready to over rock and roll. Jeff, do
Speaker 1: it to us again, because that sounds like what's in
Speaker 1: the carts.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's gonna get colder again as we head towards
Speaker 11: the middle of the week as yet another front moves by.
Speaker 11: Temperatures will rebound in a Thursday and Friday before yet
Speaker 11: another front pays us a visit later in the weekend
Speaker 11: and hod of that well. Start off the weekend with
Speaker 11: some wet weather, but certainly dry as you venture out today,
Speaker 11: some initial clouds, followed by a clearing trend for the
Speaker 11: afternoon as we hit fifty, clear and cold overnight down
Speaker 11: into the mid twenties for a low Tomorrow, sunny and
Speaker 11: colder behind the front of high of forty four. The
Speaker 11: load your twenty Tomorrow night out are a clear sky
Speaker 11: will only hit the upper thirties with sunshine Wednesday, and
Speaker 11: then upper forties with dry weather Thursday, low fifties with
Speaker 11: sunshine Friday, then some showers as we headed to the
Speaker 11: start of the weekend on Saturday, and then colder air
Speaker 11: moves in to start off next week.
Speaker 1: What's where? Where is stagic? By the way, It's not
Speaker 1: like the Dallas is in the playoffs.
Speaker 11: No, he has his annual snowmobile trip, although the weather
Speaker 11: really hand cooperated the last couple of winter seasons. But
Speaker 11: this year he's hitting the snow jackpot with a lake
Speaker 11: effects snow warning for the tug Hill plateau of there
Speaker 11: in upstate New York. I used to Lake Ontario, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, good for him. That's yeah. I used to
Speaker 1: slid when I was up Minnesota a lot. There's nothing
Speaker 1: worse than having, you know, kind of dirty snow. So
Speaker 1: yeah for him. All right, thank you, appreciate it. You guys.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and chat with Jeff Bellinger coming up next.
Speaker 1: Hang on to your Bloomberg update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Good morning?
Speaker 16: Case Investor is going to switch their focus to inflation
Speaker 16: and corporate earnings this week. Economists think underlying price pressures
Speaker 16: cooled very slightly as twenty twenty four was ending, and that,
Speaker 16: combined with friday stronger than expected employment report, would support
Speaker 16: the fed's go slow approach to interest rates. So we're
Speaker 16: looking at lower futures this morning. S and P futures
Speaker 16: down thirty six points, Nasdaq futures are down two hundred two.
Speaker 16: The Dow futures are down twenty. The price of oil
Speaker 16: has jumped to a four month high. Washington imposed new
Speaker 16: sanctions on Russia's energy industry. Some overseas refiners were confused
Speaker 16: by the sanctions, and some analysts say there's a downside
Speaker 16: risks to oil supplies. President Biden admitted Friday the new
Speaker 16: sanctions on Russia couldson US gasoline price is higher, and
Speaker 16: that would effect inflation. Of course, Johnson and Johnson is
Speaker 16: making an acquisition. Jay and Jay agreed to buy Intracellular Therapies,
Speaker 16: a biotech that focuses on treatments for central nervous system
Speaker 16: and mental health disorders. It's a deal worth about fourteen
Speaker 16: point six billion dollars. Hollywood Studios have shut down production
Speaker 16: on more than a dozen projects because of the wildfires
Speaker 16: in Los Angeles. A union that represents behind the scenes,
Speaker 16: film and TV workers says at least eight thousand members
Speaker 16: live in zip codes that have burned or been evacuated,
Speaker 16: as could be a crucial Week fourteen talk. The law
Speaker 16: passed by Congress last year calls for a ban on
Speaker 16: the social media platform if it's Chinese parent company doesn't
Speaker 16: sell it by Sunday. The Supreme Court heard arguments in
Speaker 16: the case on Friday. The justices appeared to be leaning
Speaker 16: toward upholding the ban and Casey. The start of the
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four tax filing seasons two weeks off, the
Speaker 16: Internal Revenue Service is promising to keep improving service and
Speaker 16: also its digital offerings. The agency's free filing tool, direct File,
Speaker 16: will be available to low and moderate income taxpayers in
Speaker 16: twenty five states this year. Also, Free File, which the
Speaker 16: IRS offers and partnership with tax prep software companies, is
Speaker 16: opened for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of up to
Speaker 16: eighty four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Casey, well, it's today to the day, two weeks from
Speaker 1: now that they're going to start.
Speaker 16: It's twenty seventh.
Speaker 1: Yep, twenty seventh. Okay. I'm like, I'm five minutes after
Speaker 1: they open. I I just want to be done with it.
Speaker 1: So I always like it when we know the date.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much, Jeff, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Jeff Pellinger, Bloomberg News. This is funny. This headline from
Speaker 1: New York Post. Foreign leaders desperately jockeying for invite to
Speaker 1: Trump's inauguration. So he did a thing when he was inviting,
Speaker 1: like Jiji ping and and and the rest. It turned
Speaker 1: into a popularity contest and apparently it's now the party
Speaker 1: of the year. And so they talked to a bunch
Speaker 1: of like registered foreign agents, so you know, us people
Speaker 1: who lobby and work on behalf of foreign governments. Uh,
Speaker 1: And apparently they are all like like all these leaders Chili, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique,
Speaker 1: like all of these leaders are are like sending gift,
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, nice letters and whatnot. Hey
Speaker 1: just remember us. So you know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: the opening scene of The Godfather. And it's wild. It's
Speaker 1: like this. They want it. They're willing to stand online,
Speaker 1: so to speak, just to go to this thing. And
Speaker 1: let's just say that did not happen last time around.
Speaker 1: So how the world has changed. Remembered like when he
Speaker 1: when he was first inaugurated, nobody want anything to do
Speaker 1: with him, with the exception of the president of Taiwan
Speaker 1: because remember he made that phone call, and then there
Speaker 1: was a few others. But now they all want to
Speaker 1: be there for this thing, and apparently they're being very selective. Basically,
Speaker 1: unless you're a country that could potentially provide a financial
Speaker 1: boost to the US. Basically where you you know, you
Speaker 1: might have businesses that locate a branch in the US,
Speaker 1: great jobs. No you're not on the list. And people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, that's selfish. No, that's America first. That's
Speaker 1: literally the thing he ran on. So his time and
Speaker 1: his you know, is going to be spent on things
Speaker 1: that will benefit this is their argument, that will benefit
Speaker 1: the United States. But here we are. And finally, just
Speaker 1: because it's so creepy that I know about it, now
Speaker 1: you have to as well. A Kansas City trans woman
Speaker 1: underwent voluntary surgery to have six ribs removed to obtain
Speaker 1: a more feminine, smaller waste. What who were these doctors?
Speaker 1: By the way, is that safe? You know what ribs
Speaker 1: are for, right, other than you know, making women and stuff.
Speaker 1: They'refore protecting your innards. But they're therefore there's so your
Speaker 1: guts aren't just like, hey, here's all my vital organs
Speaker 1: completely unsheathed, provide framing for the body and protection, and
Speaker 1: you had six of them removed so you can have
Speaker 1: a skinnier waist. By the way, are we buying that?
Speaker 1: Excuse Ross that that's the reason for having the six
Speaker 1: ribs removed purely cosmetic purposes, because I remember when we
Speaker 1: were a kid, if somebody had a rib removed, they
Speaker 1: would argue that it was a different motivation for it,
Speaker 1: different reason, Marilyn Manson, Now, probably not true, but what
Speaker 1: the heck, although this is a trans woman, so it
Speaker 1: may be the same reason. Now here's the kicker on
Speaker 1: the whole story. One if case, you were wanting to
Speaker 1: cost seventeen thousand to have some saw bones cut six
Speaker 1: year ribs out. But Emily James, is this lunatics name
Speaker 1: who had their ribs removed? Said as an added bonus,
Speaker 1: the doctor allowed him to keep the ribs and he's
Speaker 1: going to make a crown out of it.
