Speaker 1: Let's see phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four. As we get things rolling this morning,
Speaker 1: and so we're I guess we're where are you looking
Speaker 1: at another nominee? Maybe pulling out Pete hagg Seth. I
Speaker 1: don't know, pulling out it's the right word, but at
Speaker 1: the very least getting replaced. Did I wake up this
Speaker 1: morning there's nothing but headlines that Ron De Santis might
Speaker 1: be the Secretary of Defense pick. Does that seem like
Speaker 1: a waste of Ron de Santis? I mean, I know
Speaker 1: a lot of the jobs are handed out at this point,
Speaker 1: but I always thought of DeSantis was gonna come over
Speaker 1: and be part of the Trump administration. There it was.
Speaker 1: I I not that the Secretary of Defense is not
Speaker 1: an important job considering what's going on in the Pentagon
Speaker 1: right now. But like, I don't know, man, you know,
Speaker 1: DeSantis has more of the Doge vibes. Maybe, but we'll
Speaker 1: see the question is you want to leave being the
Speaker 1: governor of Florida. I don't know the answer to that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he the state and his approval rate and everything seems
Speaker 1: to be going well down there, and if he slips
Speaker 1: over to Defense secretary, I think it becomes harder for
Speaker 1: him maybe to run for office, run for that same office,
Speaker 1: although maybe he had enough of it the first time round.
Speaker 1: I don't know, so curious what you think there. It's
Speaker 1: not you know, it's not a huge, big chatty story
Speaker 1: or anything. But they were all over that this morning
Speaker 1: and CNN, is anybody buying this? So for the third
Speaker 1: time now CNN's reporting that one of Trump's nominees was
Speaker 1: the target of an Iranian hack. All of the information
Speaker 1: in the previous hacks by Iran immediately then ending up
Speaker 1: in I don't know, the airwaves of CNN, right, could
Speaker 1: you remember some of this is this is heg Seth,
Speaker 1: this is Gates, O, Ram's just cooking and then all
Speaker 1: that info boom here you go, CNN, what are you
Speaker 1: going to do with it? So now they're saying that
Speaker 1: kash Patel is the target of an Iranian hack. And
Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't think anyone on the
Speaker 1: Internet was buying that at all, not at all, with
Speaker 1: you know, just generic hackers, anonymous whatever being the ones
Speaker 1: doing it, and then CNN facilitating it, right, because they'll
Speaker 1: just they and other outlets who lectured us from a
Speaker 1: moral perspective about the utilization of illegally obtained documents. This
Speaker 1: is the Hunter Biden stuff they always really except it
Speaker 1: wasn't all of these outlets that lectured everybody on that stuff.
Speaker 1: Are they're tripping over themselves to run this stuff. So
Speaker 1: I understand why people are going to be a little skeptical.
Speaker 1: But now that'll just that'll continue to play out the
Speaker 1: over the week. So all right, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: do a little round up there because you got like
Speaker 1: three different moving pieces and I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, but you know, maybe maybe maybe Hegg says out,
Speaker 1: maybe Desantas is in just because they don't want to
Speaker 1: deal with it. The whole letter with the mom thing,
Speaker 1: I didn't even get into all this stuff because it's
Speaker 1: a lot of it's pretty questionable, pretty questionable. Do I
Speaker 1: believe that he got a little rowdy when we go
Speaker 1: out and party when he was younger he's thirty, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: probably especially, But do I give any credence to somebody
Speaker 1: who's an anonymous former service member who served alongside hag
Speaker 1: Seth who said he saw him with his shirt off
Speaker 1: one time and question what those tattoos mean? No, no,
Speaker 1: because I know what a Jerusalem Cross is. Most of
Speaker 1: you do too, even if you don't know what it
Speaker 1: is visually. Right now, if you look at you one,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I know what that thing is. That's what
Speaker 1: they're talking about, and you can google that. So between
Speaker 1: that and and and the other things, who does Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe he just doesn't want to deal with it, or
Speaker 1: maybe they're just doing the desantus thying to screw with
Speaker 1: the media so they think that they got one what
Speaker 1: you what you all should understand. And it's hard because
Speaker 1: they never are right next to each other. None of
Speaker 1: this process took place for any of Biden's cabinet, not
Speaker 1: not in to this extent. Don't gonna be wrong. Fox
Speaker 1: had stuff, and then individual citizen journalists would come up
Speaker 1: with stuff. But the the idea that when a Republican
Speaker 1: gets elected, anyone whose name is You're just getting thrown
Speaker 1: right in a wood chipper and if you survive, great,
Speaker 1: whereas anyone that Joe Biden can throw out there, even
Speaker 1: people who's I don't know, are you one you wanted
Speaker 1: to lead the nation's transportation industry and they they were
Speaker 1: A mayor in uh in rural Indiana doesn't necessarily disqualify them,
Speaker 1: but you better make a case for him when you
Speaker 1: had whether floating names for stuff like Klobashar and others
Speaker 1: like that, or are you get the you know, throwing
Speaker 1: throwing things at staff members and along those lines. It's
Speaker 1: not seeing in or any of these guys digging it
Speaker 1: up even though it'd be easy for him. That's that's all.
Speaker 1: That's local. That's hyperlocal stuff. That's the guys from power
Speaker 1: Line that were doing the Clobashar stuff. I know because
Speaker 1: I know them, that used to work in the Minneapolis market.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's just the process. Because I
Speaker 1: see already in the narrative is how is everyone fundamentally
Speaker 1: broken that that Trump throws up there? And I guess
Speaker 1: I would ask you this, are they more or less
Speaker 1: broken if you were to do an honest assessment of
Speaker 1: the current cabinet members? Or are they human? Where you
Speaker 1: if you could find a little something, you can keep
Speaker 1: pulling that thread and you can embellish just as much
Speaker 1: as you want, even if you can't prove it. Would
Speaker 1: anybody here stand up to that level of scrutiny where
Speaker 1: the left has taken by the left? I also mean
Speaker 1: most of the mainstream media. They've taken all of their hate,
Speaker 1: the seething hatred that keeps them up at night that
Speaker 1: they have for primarily one individual, but those around this individual,
Speaker 1: and they're going to take that hate that motivates them
Speaker 1: every day to go out and do what they do,
Speaker 1: and do so in a bias manner, and do so
Speaker 1: and unknowingly but in their mind justifiably biased manner because
Speaker 1: they got to save America or some crap, and for
Speaker 1: a brief moment, because that person just uttered your name,
Speaker 1: all of that hatred, resource, nastiness, and dishonesty will be
Speaker 1: channeled directly at you for as long as it takes.
Speaker 1: That's what you're up against. That's rossk. Could you run
Speaker 1: for president or be a cabinet member? You think any
Speaker 1: think that had pan out if you just if it's
Speaker 1: on the Republican side. Donald Trump utters your name today
Speaker 1: and says I'm gonna I'm gonna make Ross the defense
Speaker 1: Secretary of God to help us. By the way, if
Speaker 1: that happens, do you think do you feel would you
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with the what the the media would be
Speaker 1: getting ready to do to you and your family in
Speaker 1: that exactly that next moment, or would you just be like, Nope,
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. I'm and I don't want my
Speaker 1: name in there. I mean, yeah, that does not sound fun,
Speaker 1: because I think there's probably a lot of people. There's
Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be a crap ton of people where
Speaker 1: Trump has offered them this and they went to no,
Speaker 1: I don't want any of this, even if it's ambassadored
Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't want any of this because they
Speaker 1: don't want their lives and that is the goal. It's
Speaker 1: not well, then we're gonna get better people. No, not necessarily.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, you're gonna get You're gonna get people who
Speaker 1: are primarily washing to people. This is the great This
Speaker 1: is the big, great problem. When you are from the
Speaker 1: jump involved in politics right when you want when you
Speaker 1: force yourself to become part of the swamp. Right, so
Speaker 1: you're you're a young aspirational person from the age of
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two, graduate intern with a congress person's office,
Speaker 1: get into the system, find yourself in a series of jobs.
Speaker 1: Eventually they want you to run back in your home district.
Speaker 1: You do it. You got a little name recognition, you
Speaker 1: got people around you know what they're doing. So you
Speaker 1: go and get yourself elected. You can build up from there.
Speaker 1: Maybe you go the Cenate route, maybe not. Maybe you
Speaker 1: get into something like this. Maybe one day you run
Speaker 1: for president. But one thing that you do every single
Speaker 1: moment of every single day, if you want to have
Speaker 1: a real shot at this is from the moment you're
Speaker 1: starting to establish credit right out of college and all this,
Speaker 1: you are in the mindset that you could be running
Speaker 1: for office. You want to be involved in this. So
Speaker 1: you look to see what others are doing. And you
Speaker 1: see others elected officials that you work for who have
Speaker 1: a very interesting way of doing taxes. So there's really
Speaker 1: nothing on there, and and it's and you realize that
Speaker 1: they understand how to survive a background check one they
Speaker 1: don't even know that's coming up yet. But you the
Speaker 1: other you b ross anybody else. For the most part,
Speaker 1: we're doing the private citizen thing. We don't. We don't
Speaker 1: act like that, go about our business, never understanding that
Speaker 1: one day lightning may strike and we may be motivated,
Speaker 1: something may happen. And now you find yourself in the
Speaker 1: in with that level of public scrutiny, and it's just unsustainable.
Speaker 1: Mark Robinson felt some of that. Mark Robinson felt some
Speaker 1: of that because he was just a guy who went
Speaker 1: to a Greensboro City Council meeting to put a voice
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are screaming at their TV.
Speaker 1: At the same time. It's it's and and yet the Clintons,
Speaker 1: how do the Clinton survive? You see Bill Clinton? I actually,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to see this. I actually
Speaker 1: have sympathy for Bill Clinton. There's a story out about
Speaker 1: anger and all that stuff. I understand where this dude's
Speaker 1: coming from. But I also understand that, uh, the the
Speaker 1: the levels of lawyering, preparation and political manipulation that that
Speaker 1: family and many others Nancy Navidia Pelosi are able to
Speaker 1: is it comes because they have been in the system
Speaker 1: so long and they understand how to make sure none
Speaker 1: of this stuff shows up, or that you know, they
Speaker 1: trade favors, so it just it will never come out.
Speaker 1: And that's not the case. That's not the case when
Speaker 1: you're poed at some dude used to serve with because
Speaker 1: I don't know, he didn't he didn't, he didn't forgot
Speaker 1: your rank or something one time. Who knows that. Now
Speaker 1: you're a whiny little. I looked at his I looked
Speaker 1: at his chest. He's staring at him like that. But
Speaker 1: you're like, and then you're sitting there and he scrutinizing this,
Speaker 1: did you ask him? Most people ask if I see,
Speaker 1: if I see somebody, I know he's got a tattoo,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what is that? They all ask, is
Speaker 1: that a microaggression? I don't know. I know I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to ask about hair or where heyone's from.
Speaker 1: But can I ask about what that tattoo is? And
Speaker 1: I know I need to ask what it means. I
Speaker 1: just sometimes I just want to know what it is.
Speaker 1: Just crazy. I'm sorry this is is more of a
Speaker 1: generic rant, but I just every time we do this,
Speaker 1: everyone pretends like the same level of scrutiny is is
Speaker 1: equally shared. And it just wasn't. With Biden's cabinet it wasn't.
Speaker 1: And a Rock's cabinet especially it wasn't because remember he
Speaker 1: had at the following his that election, the first election,
Speaker 1: Remember all the photos they take of him where they
Speaker 1: could make a this They looked like he had a halo.
Speaker 1: You remember all those photos. Some case, some guy'd get
Speaker 1: be like they're Okay, let me get at this angle
Speaker 1: right here, and if they stop moving his head and boom,
Speaker 1: there we go. And then you see these photos where
Speaker 1: it's very subtle, but like there's a you know, there's
Speaker 1: something on the wall and he's had his position right
Speaker 1: and now it looks like he has a halo on
Speaker 1: and they kept doing that crap. And so he could
Speaker 1: have nominate. He could have been like, we've we've cloned
Speaker 1: John Wayne Gacy and helped in human services, right, and
Speaker 1: they would be like, well, look that's God, you know,
Speaker 1: putting them up there. So I'm sure it's fine. No,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a very different process, and it's and
Speaker 1: it's intended to beat you down because ultimately it's not
Speaker 1: about them having genuine concern for it. They want anyone
Speaker 1: in that orbit to be terrified, continue to be terrified,
Speaker 1: to align themselves with the person and they hate the most.
Speaker 1: And in twenty sixteen, even after all these secret voters
Speaker 1: and everything, it worked, people say one thing and do another.
Speaker 1: And I would tell you that that is becoming a
Speaker 1: thing of the past, and it is part of the
Speaker 1: media losing their power. And this is them kicking and
Speaker 1: screaming the whole way. Okay, all right, six twenty Hang
Speaker 1: on this thing here, man. Look one of the things.
Speaker 1: What are the positive things about the internet? Although it
Speaker 1: gets really frustrating now trying to find any of this
Speaker 1: stuff in Google? But how many of you have been
Speaker 1: able to accomplish something because of a YouTube video?
Speaker 2: I had?
Speaker 1: What did? I needed one yesterday to figure out something
Speaker 1: because for some some reason, my camera permissions got all
Speaker 1: jacked up during the update on my company laptop. So
Speaker 1: I had a team's meeting. I can't get my camera
Speaker 1: to work, and I don't want to. I could put
Speaker 1: in a trouble ticket, but the whole thing, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gotta be an easier way. I just kind of
Speaker 1: type that in and you know, if you're decent with
Speaker 1: like the Bullion search and and uh yeah, boom, there's
Speaker 1: a video and I'm like, oh, okay, I gotta do that.
Speaker 1: I to do two things and now it's fixed.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: That could be very helpful, But it depends on what
Speaker 1: you're doing, right, Like, okay, me figuring out the camera
Speaker 1: setting that I thought I didn't realize there was two
Speaker 1: of them. Uh that's good for me. That's easily solved.
Speaker 1: But you know I have. You're not watching a video
Speaker 1: to make a bomb, right, there's terms of service, but
Speaker 1: if there's any complexity to it, the danger is heightened.
Speaker 1: So the other thing you shouldn't watch an internet video
Speaker 1: to learn is how to do surgery on your kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: you need not do that, you need not go well,
Speaker 1: let's say, well it's a one hour video. If I
Speaker 1: watch the whole thing, they give all the money we
Speaker 1: can save. It takes a little longer to get good
Speaker 1: at that, and even then you're probably not going to
Speaker 1: do it on your kid, although maybe this one. A
Speaker 1: Missouri couple have been arrested after their son had to
Speaker 1: go to the hospital. He was bleeding pretty bad. Thankfully
Speaker 1: they at the hospital were able to go ahead and
Speaker 1: fix the kid up, but he had a rather strange
Speaker 1: wound down there. See, the parents who decided that you'd
Speaker 1: probably figure out how to do a circumcision if you
Speaker 1: watch a few videos, and that's the direction they went quote.
Speaker 1: The procedure did not go as planned, but the parents
Speaker 1: explained that they thought through their research end quote a
Speaker 1: blessing that they would be able to perform the thing
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, and don't get me wrong, I understand
Speaker 1: that there's a religious component aspect to this in some
Speaker 1: face where it's not necessarily a medical doctor. But also
Speaker 1: you shouldn't do your first one because of a YouTube video?
Speaker 1: And also why are there YouTube video showing how to
Speaker 1: do this? How do those exist? I did not google it.
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask ross to look it up because
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. But how are you because
Speaker 1: you can't show one? Can you? Thankfully?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Do you have to do the like the weird high
Speaker 1: school sex ed thing where you're like, you got a
Speaker 1: banana and a and a and a pairing knife and
Speaker 1: what's how do how do you convey that on on
Speaker 1: a platform that doesn't allow you to show stuff like that?
Speaker 1: I that's I just want to know verbally. I don't
Speaker 1: want visually. I just want verbally to know the answer
Speaker 1: to that, because I have I have quite a few questions.
Speaker 1: All right, let me add this is a this is
Speaker 1: a question. This is a very serious question. Okay on
Speaker 1: this story. Don't worry. I get into this, I get
Speaker 1: into the South Korea stuff. Calm down, See, would you
Speaker 1: understand everybody has talked about that. I will talk about it,
Speaker 1: but it's not new to most people this one though
Speaker 1: maybe some you've heard it, maybe you have it. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do here. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you at because when it comes to juveniles going out
Speaker 1: and doing stuff, criminal stuff, horrible stuff, some not so
Speaker 1: horrible but still criminal, you know, just the whole gamut
Speaker 1: of it, there's a lot of debate over at what
Speaker 1: point should you face full consequences. And I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I've seen many a sixteen year old commit
Speaker 1: many a vicious crime, and absolutely you couldn't convince me
Speaker 1: that they did not. They were not able to know
Speaker 1: that they you know, you weren't able to go in
Speaker 1: and shoot eight people or what you know, some horrific something.
Speaker 1: And then when it is a minor or some of
Speaker 1: these these really like those girls who killed that uber
Speaker 1: driver remember in DC, almost for fun, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you can't charge with as adults. Look you get you
Speaker 1: get into your teenage years, especially your late teenage years,
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen, I don't have a problem with it. Charge
Speaker 1: charge away, and I think you know what's up. But
Speaker 1: I think that you largely have become the person you're
Speaker 1: going to be save. I guess being saved or or
Speaker 1: or are finding something that turns your life around. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: sometimes we do things that are so over the top,
Speaker 1: so evil, or you do so many of them. I
Speaker 1: don't know that you're redeemable from a non This isn't
Speaker 1: an argument over religious redemption. Okay, it's fine if you
Speaker 1: want to be that's part of your thinking. But I
Speaker 1: don't call in and be like, doesn't matter what they did.
Speaker 1: He said, you know, just let you know, accept my
Speaker 1: son and then we'll be good to go, and and
Speaker 1: and I that's not what we're here. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: redemption within society. There's a story out of South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and they didn't involve well, the victim was a twelve geirl.
Speaker 1: She's fourteen now, but she's not really her anymore. I'll
Speaker 1: explain the details of it. And these are her classmates,
Speaker 1: so I don't know all of their ages, but they
Speaker 1: would have been, you know, twelve thirteen at the time
Speaker 1: that what happened happened, and then another thing happened, and
Speaker 1: now I'm like, I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: those individuals ever become productive members of society. What they
Speaker 1: did is so profoundly evil. So here's the story. Kaleia
Speaker 1: Turner is fourteen. She was twelve when this happened. Kaleiah
Speaker 1: Taylor goes to school and or went to school rather
Speaker 1: in Greenville, South Carolina, and she was the target of
Speaker 1: some substantial bullying. It was so substantial that eventually Kalaia
Speaker 1: made a decision that sadly uh uh other other kids
Speaker 1: have made and decided that the only way out of
Speaker 1: this hell at this school, which, by the way, the
Speaker 1: it sounds like with yet nine staff members that the
Speaker 1: lawyers and for the family and everybody have identified and
Speaker 1: they've got they've got receipts on a lot of these
Speaker 1: exchanges that just didn't seem to care, just couldn't be
Speaker 1: bothered to stop the torment that this girl faced every day.
Speaker 1: She's a bigger She's a bigger girl, right, She's she's
Speaker 1: not conventionally pret This is not me insulting her. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that, like she seems exactly who people would
Speaker 1: go after and bully. She sounds like she was kind
Speaker 1: of soft, smoke spoken, was into art and stuff. From
Speaker 1: mom's description, right, absolutely zoned in on this girl and
Speaker 1: then tormentitor to One day she left a note fashioned
Speaker 1: a noose and hung herself, and she was dead for
Speaker 1: eight minutes and they revived her. But unfortunately, once oxygen
Speaker 1: is not going to the brain anymore and it goes
Speaker 1: on too long, you start facing very significant brain damage.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately that's what happened here. She is forever not
Speaker 1: the same she's she is on a tube. I think
Speaker 1: she'll probably be on a tube going forward. She's essentially
Speaker 1: now in a wheelchair, and it's it's all really sad.
Speaker 1: But that's not even the most evil part. If that,
Speaker 1: if I know that sounds crazy, that's not the most
Speaker 1: evil part. I wouldn't even be doing the story if
Speaker 1: that was the end of it. But there's another thing
Speaker 1: that happened. That's the evil part, and I want to
Speaker 1: know once I tell you about it. If you think
Speaker 1: from a societal standpoint, the bullies that drove her to
Speaker 1: do this are redeemable, you're gonna have to convince me.
Speaker 1: I don't think they are, and I don't care that
Speaker 1: they might have been thirteen when they did it. I'll
Speaker 1: give you the part two, the rest of the story,
Speaker 1: so to speak, on this horrible, horrible story, we'll do
Speaker 1: it next. Hang on, so that the South Korea thing
Speaker 1: is crazy. I will try to shed just a little
Speaker 1: bit on it, and and real I don't reasonably all
Speaker 1: understand all of it, but I get the vibe I
Speaker 1: guess from reading articles yesterday and a sheer lunacy with
Speaker 1: the with the martial law versus all of this. Let
Speaker 1: me just be clear, because it had the effect of
Speaker 1: watching your your your currency took a it started tanking
Speaker 1: yesterday obviously with what's going on. And then you have
Speaker 1: these scenes where the parliament literally carried the car the
Speaker 1: Congress or whatever. They can't get in because they've like
Speaker 1: chained it off, so they cut in to get in
Speaker 1: so that they can hold a vote, or they unanimically
Speaker 1: vote to unmartial law, which it's not even clear that
Speaker 1: they can just hold a vote to do that. But
Speaker 1: then later the president comes back of South Korea and
Speaker 1: he's like, dah, just kidding, what what the hell happened.
Speaker 1: We'll get into I'll try to explain at a little
Speaker 1: bit from what I've learned, but there's there's a there's
Speaker 1: a really big question. But let me get back to
Speaker 1: this story, very sad story of this young woman who
Speaker 1: was bullied to the point of deciding she was going
Speaker 1: to end her life, and she did technically, but they
Speaker 1: resuscitated her after she hung herself. She was dead for
Speaker 1: eight minutes. That caused severe brain damage because of the
Speaker 1: lack of oxygen. She now is she has no control
Speaker 1: over her body. She's in a wheelchair, she's in you know,
Speaker 1: like the tube essentially to keep her breathing. And that's
Speaker 1: that's her life going forward, and it has been that
Speaker 1: way for two years since the initial incident. But I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the kids who did this to her,
Speaker 1: because they did one other thing. And it's at this
Speaker 1: point I have to ask myself, even though these kids
Speaker 1: are twelve and thirteen at the time that they're doing this,
Speaker 1: are they redeemable from a societal standpoint? Because after she
Speaker 1: hang after she hung herself, after the news of what
Speaker 1: happened where, you know, because it's Greenville is not that big,
Speaker 1: and school societies or school societies and you know, people talk.
Speaker 1: Eventually everyone figured out what happened. She had she'd attempted
Speaker 1: to kill herself, and likely they probably knew who her
Speaker 1: bullies were. They would see it at school and and
Speaker 1: like they knew this, and and one of the kids
Speaker 1: who bullied her went to the hospital where she's laying
Speaker 1: there on breathing tubes. And I mean, it's the standard
Speaker 1: picture you see of somebody who you're like, how is
Speaker 1: that person alive? And she's in that bed, in that
Speaker 1: most vulnerable of states, and one of these pieces of
Speaker 1: garbage goes to the hospital. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: lied and said they were there to see somebody else,
Speaker 1: or that they were a friend, I would think that
Speaker 1: they would control access to her, but they somehow snuck
Speaker 1: into the ice. You took photos of this girl intubated,
Speaker 1: laying in bed, and then posted the photos on social
Speaker 1: media with more bullying and fake rumors of how the
Speaker 1: injury transpired. How does that person? How do you? How
Speaker 1: will that person be a productive member of society going forward?
Speaker 1: At if they're doing that at twelve and thirteen, If
Speaker 1: they'd have been so shocked by what happens they actually
Speaker 1: started to look at their own behavior, it wouldn't be enough,
Speaker 1: but at least it'd be a start. But no, the
Speaker 1: reaction was to go for the laughs or the lolls,
Speaker 1: or the bullying or the fun or whatever, and take
Speaker 1: a picture of this girl who you killed successfully for
Speaker 1: eight minutes and then put it on social media to
Speaker 1: make fun of her. More, what do you do at
Speaker 1: that point? You want to know how school shooters happen.
Speaker 1: That's how school shooters happen. She just want a different
Speaker 1: route because it's the more. It's the route that more
Speaker 1: students will choose to go, which is why bullying in
Speaker 1: schools is different than it was when we were in school.
Speaker 1: But it's still the same kind of right in the
Speaker 1: sense that you can't Anyone who works in a school
Speaker 1: knows who the bullies are and knows who the bullied are,
Speaker 1: and you can't convince me otherwise you know what's up,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I'm not here to pick on teachers
Speaker 1: for that. Here's what I want to know. Anyone who
Speaker 1: works in a school setting, you know, by the time
Speaker 1: they're twelve thirteen, you kind of know what that person's
Speaker 1: going to be. It may not be the end all
Speaker 1: be all, but you're probably right most of the time.
Speaker 1: So how do we live in How do we live
Speaker 1: in this scenario where a school stands by and watches
Speaker 1: this and a kid feels so embold and what's that
Speaker 1: child's home life by I don't know, so I should
Speaker 1: call them a child? They're making some really adult decisions
Speaker 1: here eight eight, eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the penalty is, but you that
Speaker 1: can't go unanswered. That can't go unanswered. And if I
Speaker 1: was a parent, I wouldn't want a single one of
Speaker 1: my students in orbit of any of these kids, any
Speaker 1: of these quote unquote bullies. And yet they're there at
Speaker 1: the school. So you again, for the thousandth time, why
Speaker 1: do parents sit there? And you know, actually one school vouchers.
Speaker 1: It's not just rich kids who want the rich people,
Speaker 1: rich mommy, daddy money back. It's people who want some alternative.
Speaker 1: How many of how many of you have contemplated or
Speaker 1: had to make a change in your child's educational system
Speaker 1: because of things like this. Parents do this every it
Speaker 1: seems the bullies never really get thrown out, can't really
Speaker 1: do that now, So people have to upend whatever they're
Speaker 1: doing with their kids kids' lives and and make hard decisions.
Speaker 1: And sometimes that can be having to fight the school
Speaker 1: district just to get moved to a different school. Well
Speaker 1: they said they're going, no, we can't do that. Have
Speaker 1: you tried talking to the bully? Have you tried? Have
Speaker 1: you tried inviting them over for cookies or something. Shut up?
Speaker 1: Have you tried doing your jobs? Have you tried maintaining
Speaker 1: your brand so that people, when given the option, actually
Speaker 1: still want to send their kids there and they're not
Speaker 1: terrified that this would happen to them. Is there's no oversight?
Speaker 1: There is not a school in Greenville. These students should
Speaker 1: be in with other students. What happened to the bad
Speaker 1: kids' school? Do we not do that anymore? We had
Speaker 1: a bad kid's trailer? Ross, Do you guys have a
Speaker 1: bad kid's school or a bad kids trailer? You know?
Speaker 2: We had a we had an entire school.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had what they call it an academy. Did
Speaker 1: they tell me they didn't?
Speaker 2: I can't remember what they called it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember they got they in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: They would call them academies, and they'd be like a
Speaker 1: little sub school, Like, oh, what's that is that for
Speaker 1: the Is that for the Einstein kids? Like, no, that's
Speaker 1: for the other kids. That's for the kids who would
Speaker 1: steal Einstein's lunch money. And so they'd put them over there.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's the right answer. It's
Speaker 1: probably not in the grand scheme of things, But at
Speaker 1: what point do you know a kid is irredeemable and
Speaker 1: does something irredeemable from a from a US standpoint? Again,
Speaker 1: this is we're not making a religious distinction here, but
Speaker 1: you could argue that if you think people are always redeemable,
Speaker 1: but you know, during their life from a from a
Speaker 1: from a Christianity standpoint, or whatever religious direction you want
Speaker 1: to go, then are are you? Are we called upon
Speaker 1: ourselves to have that same level of understanding. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm more of a render undeseazar kind of guy myself,
Speaker 1: and we go ahead and deal with this. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to go out. I don't think they're redeemable, and
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be near other kids.
Speaker 2: My grandma used to say that by the age eleven
Speaker 2: or twelve, pretty much knew if someone was a good egg.
Speaker 1: Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. All right, couple things, I'll give you the
Speaker 1: little runner on the well. Let's say, actually, let's just
Speaker 1: go ahead and get right into it. So South Korea,
Speaker 1: what the heck the heck was going on yesday? If
Speaker 1: you were only passively paying attention, you probably saw news
Speaker 1: alert late morning and it's like North Korea under Marshall Law.
Speaker 1: It happened right after almost right after the show. You're like, well,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound good. What do you mean, are the
Speaker 1: North Koreans invading or are we going to do this thing?
Speaker 1: Did Biden decide to escalate this conflict as well on
Speaker 1: his way out? What's happening? And and admittedly I didn't know.
Speaker 1: We do When we do South Korea stories, generally they're
Speaker 1: based on a North Korea story or some crazy tech
Speaker 1: thing that they came up with. And that's going to
Speaker 1: be an important component here, because after martial law was declared,
Speaker 1: the one hundred and ninety members of their legislature basically
Speaker 1: had to trick their way into and in some cases
Speaker 1: they cut off some chains or something or have their
Speaker 1: staff members form a blockade line so they could all
Speaker 1: like slink into the parliament to vote. And then they
Speaker 1: voted one hundred and ninety to zero to lift it,
Speaker 1: except legally they really couldn't do that. And then eventually
Speaker 1: a few hours later, the President of South Korea lifted
Speaker 1: the martial law. So, I mean, inside of like eight hours,
Speaker 1: all of this played out and we're just all watching,
Speaker 1: like what does this mean? Why is this happening, So
Speaker 1: let me give you the generic version. And by the way,
Speaker 1: this is not a justification. And I do not know
Speaker 1: enough about the intricacy of South Korean politics, but I
Speaker 1: get now the general sense of where everybody's at. Okay,
Speaker 1: so South Korea. South Korea is definitely uh. There there
Speaker 1: are two distinct factions in Korean society from a political perspective,
Speaker 1: kind of like here where you have you know, it's
Speaker 1: you have the right and you have the left, and
Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're clearly defined within South Korea, but
Speaker 1: maybe some of the positions wouldn't necessarily you couldn't just
Speaker 1: be straight right, straight left in the US. It doesn't
Speaker 1: completely transfer, but a lot of it does, and a
Speaker 1: lot of it's broke down over age. A lot of
Speaker 1: it's broke down over age. You have a young society
Speaker 1: in many parts of South Korea, uh, and they are
Speaker 1: very different and want to be very different from the
Speaker 1: very traditional side of of South Korea. Okay, so well
Speaker 1: then don't show me the page. And and so what
Speaker 1: it creates is it creates kind of that that same
Speaker 1: vibe here where if you're young and you're not you're
Speaker 1: not a Democrat and you're heartless. If you're old and
Speaker 1: not a Republican, you're brainless, or however they would say
Speaker 1: it over there in Korean. I don't speak Korean, but
Speaker 1: the president is among the more traditional What I guess
Speaker 1: you would see is a more conservative side, but definitely
Speaker 1: the older school of thought over there, right, and the
Speaker 1: younger folks who obviously most of which they grew up
Speaker 1: with the boogeyman to the North stuff going on. But
Speaker 1: in reality, even if you see reporting, there is a
Speaker 1: lot of reporting that happens in South Korea. Now that's
Speaker 1: a lot more how do you say, enthusiastic about some
Speaker 1: of the tenets of what they believe to be socialism,
Speaker 1: even communism. They like that, they want that, and it's
Speaker 1: also the part where they think the older people are
Speaker 1: hoarding all the money, right okay, And then political people
Speaker 1: want to play into that. Politically they run and then
Speaker 1: eventually you get a legislature that is very divided from
Speaker 1: from the president over there, and they want to start
Speaker 1: doing some of this stuff. And it's a little different
Speaker 1: how laws originate over there. We don't have to get
Speaker 1: into all that, but I think that kind of sets
Speaker 1: the scene for it in my mind doesn't justify martial
Speaker 1: law obviously, but that that was what was the core
Speaker 1: of of this and and and so you have essentially
Speaker 1: the AOC crowd who has captured the legislature, and so
Speaker 1: the president there, he can't get anything done. They're not
Speaker 1: going to do anything. They're going to do stuff that
Speaker 1: they want to do, and depending on I think how
Speaker 1: monies are attached, they don't even necessarily need him to
Speaker 1: sign off on it. I'm I'm a little unclear. So
Speaker 1: maybe if we have somebody from South Korea listening they
Speaker 1: can fill me in. But from reading, that's what I
Speaker 1: understood it to be. And again, don't do the martial
Speaker 1: law thing. But if I could, I just ask, could
Speaker 1: I ask the UH and and they've and proud of
Speaker 1: this guy, right because here's what's gonna happen. Even though
Speaker 1: not all the legislature is is definitely to the left,
Speaker 1: they are controlling things and they got a unanimous vote yesterday.
Speaker 1: And so this president is probably gonna get impeached today
Speaker 1: or they'll start the process anyway. But let me ask,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, how do you sit in
Speaker 1: the city of Seoul, South Korea? Well within the impact. Right,
Speaker 1: it's important because Seoul is obviously the population hub, but
Speaker 1: also it's where the majority of these left wing part
Speaker 1: of the congressional members over there hail from. And uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you sit in Seoul, which has
Speaker 1: they have these sirens everywhere, right, you have these moments
Speaker 1: where you're figure trying to figure out what's happening. You
Speaker 1: see military presence if you go to the northern part
Speaker 1: of the city everywhere. And by the way, the military
Speaker 1: who was part of the they did not have live
Speaker 1: Their weapons look to be inert I saw the blue
Speaker 1: bolts and some other stuff in there, so they I
Speaker 1: don't I don't believe that the rifles they were holding
Speaker 1: they could have unless they're going to beat somebody to death.
Speaker 1: They couldn't have shot anybody. So but and you have
Speaker 1: mandatory service in South in South Korea too, I almost
Speaker 1: forgot about that. You have mandatory military service unless you're
Speaker 1: in a boy band. I guess I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: a thing. Also, k pop's a thing. What sweet hell
Speaker 1: is that? But how you sit there and Seul and
Speaker 1: go we need we need to adopt some of the
Speaker 1: ideas from up there. What are you doing. What are
Speaker 1: you doing if you can't fundamentally, look, Korea is the
Speaker 1: best in my beIN it's the best example of that
Speaker 1: of two ideologies because they were they were then immediately
Speaker 1: implemented at the same time on the same it's sharing
Speaker 1: the same language or most of it. Anyway, families literally
Speaker 1: families at that time in the fifties somewhere North Korea,
Speaker 1: some were South Korean and and they just kind of
Speaker 1: played out that way. And then you look from the
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties and the armistice there or I guess it
Speaker 1: is technically an armistice. I guess it's not. There's basically
Speaker 1: not shooting it. But how you look at that and
Speaker 1: you look at the crazy futuristic city the Soul, South
Speaker 1: Korea is it's wild. But those big Asian cities in
Speaker 1: Japan and South Korea are it's it's almost it's overwhelming.
Speaker 1: Now I've not been I've not been to Soul, but
Speaker 1: I have been to Tokyo, Okay, and uh, it's it's
Speaker 1: wild stuff. Man, It's it looks like all the futuristic
Speaker 1: cities from all the futuristic shows and the amount of
Speaker 1: wealth that South Korea. If you look at the world
Speaker 1: Economic rankings, they're in the top ten and they have
Speaker 1: been for a very long time. They consistently are and
Speaker 1: the companies from the from South Korea that are worldwide
Speaker 1: global companies, and what it's created, the lifestyle that people
Speaker 1: in South Korea are able to maintain. It's one of
Speaker 1: the most brand conscious societies in the world. They love brands,
Speaker 1: they love smearing themselves in brands, status symbols, all of it.
Speaker 1: And you sit there and go, yeah, yeah, okay, But
Speaker 1: what about if we listen to some of these guys
Speaker 1: who keep having keep having it, not eat because they
Speaker 1: ran out of grass which they were eating because they
Speaker 1: didn't have other stuff to you, how about we how
Speaker 1: do we look into how some of them are doing
Speaker 1: stuff that's crazy to me that you would find appealing
Speaker 1: some of these items up there that are kind of
Speaker 1: a pathway into this stuff, and go, that's what we
Speaker 1: want to do. Rogerie said something off there. He said,
Speaker 1: it shows the pervasiveness or the poison that is that ideology.
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but it's also very tempting because
Speaker 1: when you live in a society where there is wealth,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of wealth around and you're just you're younger,
Speaker 1: you're coming up, and you have it seized that and
Speaker 1: you feel that you never will And I understand that frustration,
Speaker 1: and I also again I understand the concept that where
Speaker 1: people look at it and they go, well, when my
Speaker 1: parents were my age, they didn't have it this hard,
Speaker 1: And you're right, you're right, things are out of whack
Speaker 1: when it comes to but it's also not necessarily their fault.
Speaker 1: In all instances. We have a lot more government than
Speaker 1: we used to, we have a lot more regulations than
Speaker 1: we used to, and and depending on when your parents were,
Speaker 1: it may not necessarily be the case. If your parents
Speaker 1: were your age when Jimmy Carter with those mortgage rates
Speaker 1: was coming up, what do you think their home chances were?
Speaker 1: And they had to adapt and overcome. And so when
Speaker 1: you see people, when you see that brass ring every day,
Speaker 1: because there is wealth in your society that you're that
Speaker 1: you're constantly around and you don't have that wealth, people
Speaker 1: want it. And there will be people who feel that
Speaker 1: the easiest road to going going ahead with that, even
Speaker 1: if they're even if they're ideologically pure and what they're
Speaker 1: hoping to accomplish, where everybody has the same then they're
Speaker 1: just naive, but to then hand it over and sit
Speaker 1: there and go and again. I can't speak to Korean
Speaker 1: society because I'm not Korean living in that, but I
Speaker 1: can understand the concept because we see a play out
Speaker 1: with other stuff. We see a play out here where
Speaker 1: absolute lunatics get elected to office and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: what we need? Uh, let's have about we build a
Speaker 1: train to everywhere and then we don't need cars when
Speaker 1: we get rid of all the cows and the planes,
Speaker 1: and that includes Hawaii somehow, and then we'll all plant
Speaker 1: palm trees or whatever that stupid video was. Wait ready
Speaker 1: to run around with that garbage in your head, But
Speaker 1: it requires you to offload two of your top three
Speaker 1: revenue drivers for the country, agriculture and fossil fuel transportation.
Speaker 1: I kind of put up an under one there, But
Speaker 1: and you want to purge our society of these revenue drivers,
Speaker 1: these top companies, these top industries, and then, of course,
Speaker 1: and then everyone can can figure out how to plant mangroves.
Speaker 1: That's what it was, mangrove swamps. You're a lunatic and
Speaker 1: you're trying to destroy something that well, it's not perfect,
Speaker 1: is still better than what's going on in other places.
Speaker 1: If you're in South Korea, you can see the other place.
Speaker 1: You can go up there the DMZ and hit golf
Speaker 1: balls into old minefields. It's true, look it up. It's
Speaker 1: the thing you can go do. And yet you're still like,
Speaker 1: you know what, we need more of that, But don't worry,
Speaker 1: we'll get it right. They just didn't get it right.
Speaker 1: So with all of that that I was able to
Speaker 1: lazily derive from just reading a couple of articles and
Speaker 1: comments and a few other things. The entire crack staff
Speaker 1: over at CNN, they went in a different direction.
Speaker 4: I think, just in and of itself in the context
Speaker 4: of South Korean history is important. Obviously, we around the
Speaker 4: table should talk about why this should be an important
Speaker 4: thing for American support. Well, that's what I want to
Speaker 4: particularly given that Donald Trump is about to be president
Speaker 4: in a number of weeks. Somebody who had said he
Speaker 4: wants to use the military to go after his.
Speaker 1: Own enemies again, and by the way, that's the new
Speaker 1: good people on both sides thing was that us to
Speaker 1: use the military to go after his enemies. He's talked
Speaker 1: about using the military for staging for immigration purpose, right
Speaker 1: but he can't use them in the in in a
Speaker 1: military sense. So a lot of it was administrative and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And Biden, by the ways using the
Speaker 1: military to ship and do flights, so whatever, And then
Speaker 1: he talked about using them to go after drug cartels.
Speaker 1: Did I miss where he talked about just right, you know,
Speaker 1: running F sixteens because that the only person I've seen
Speaker 1: threatening people with nuclear arms is the Democrat member of
Speaker 1: Congress from California there, you know, Fang Thang's lover. And
Speaker 1: then Joe Biden talking about coming out what was he
Speaker 1: coming at us with F fifteen sixteens? I can't remember
Speaker 1: what he was talking about, except he wasn't really saying that.
Speaker 1: But if I'm using CNN's filter, that would that would
Speaker 1: be how i'd reported. So somehow what's going on in
Speaker 1: South Korea is Donald Trump's fault because he's coming in
Speaker 1: and that shows me, you know, you know, nothing in
Speaker 1: the history of South Korea that was easy to derive,
Speaker 1: like this isn't even a new thing that they do
Speaker 1: over there. They've had some really weird issues back in
Speaker 1: the seventies. They had they tried to kill the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of South Korea the president of South Korea, and
Speaker 1: they went into martial law in seventy nine, and it's
Speaker 1: happened in other places, and it's happened across the political
Speaker 1: spectrum there. And don't even get me started on the
Speaker 1: infiltration of that weird, creepy colt they had over there
Speaker 1: that was able to infiltrate into some members of into
Speaker 1: some elements of the government. That was the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's that's actually a wild story. So now
Speaker 1: you've decided that Trump's Trump's going to do that, how
Speaker 1: do you think Trump? What do you think Trump, even
Speaker 1: people support Trump, would think if Trump went martial law?
Speaker 1: Considering the mindset and the paranoia that we have as
Speaker 1: Americans a big government, everyone just falls in line. I
Speaker 1: think the only people all falling in line that I'm
Speaker 1: seeing right now is every one of you who has
Speaker 1: came up with the same justification for that pardon going. Well,
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to he never lied, but then Trump
Speaker 1: started appointing mean people, and then he knew he had
Speaker 1: to do something. And I'm just going to ignore the
Speaker 1: fact that that thing's eleven years long and covers literally everything.
Speaker 1: He's just a good dad. Because that's who I see
Speaker 1: falling in line right now, every single person saying the
Speaker 1: same thing on every damn show in defense of that
Speaker 1: yesterday with a straight face, a straight face, and I
Speaker 1: and far more people on that side of the aisle
Speaker 1: will fall in line with that, this president's thing that
Speaker 1: would be screamed as a constitutional crisis of Trump did
Speaker 1: at this pardon, and they'll immediately fall in line with that.
Speaker 1: While accusing Donald Trump of wanting to destroy the norms,
Speaker 1: which yes, there are a lot of norms he does
Speaker 1: want to destroy that are only norms because you've allowed
Speaker 1: him to become them. But if he oversteps on something
Speaker 1: like that, I don't You got a bunch of people
Speaker 1: voted for Trump because they felt that they were abandoned
Speaker 1: by other folks, and so if he smacks him at
Speaker 1: the dinner table with something like that, they're going to
Speaker 1: listen to it. And the reason you go, well, they
Speaker 1: don't listen when he lies and say anything, it's because
Speaker 1: you lie harder. And so they've picked the team on there,
Speaker 1: and they're willing to accept that because they feel the
Speaker 1: ends justify the means. It's your own logic. Usually we'll
Speaker 1: be back hang on I understand they have been undertaking
Speaker 1: for quite a few years now efforts to recapture a
Speaker 1: populace that may not have the attention span for a
Speaker 1: baseball game. And so they they've done all sorts of stuff,
Speaker 1: and they have been successful in bringing the average length
Speaker 1: of a baseball game down. I think what twenty five
Speaker 1: minutes or something was last time I saw when we
Speaker 1: were talking about pitch clock and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: they were explaining how it's worked. But they've done They've
Speaker 1: done a variety of things that you can't You can't
Speaker 1: consistently harass the guy on first by throwing from the mound.
Speaker 1: You can. You can do it what twice and then
Speaker 1: if you do it again, there's a penalty for it.
Speaker 1: What are some of the other stuff the pitch clock,
Speaker 1: obviously they've changed the speed of how other things happen.
Speaker 1: Of course there's stuff that's reviewable now, which was less
Speaker 1: about that but more about just having consistency, and then
Speaker 1: that'll get screwed up. They don't have Angel Hernandez there
Speaker 1: anymore to jack things up. What's what I'm missing? We
Speaker 1: were just talking about, Oh, not the overtime rule, but
Speaker 1: the extra inting's rule with the runner on second. Anybody
Speaker 1: thought that, they may think that's a good idea still
Speaker 1: or is that just dumb? Because I have something much
Speaker 1: dumber for you, And that was this Major League Commissioner
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred has introduced for consideration what's called the Golden
Speaker 1: at Bat. Oh, dear lord, what is this? What is
Speaker 1: the golden at bat? Is that where Sam sam No,
Speaker 1: Sam Simon hits that button? What's the show? What's the
Speaker 1: show I'm thinking of? Oh, America's got talent, the golden buzzer,
Speaker 1: That's what it is. No, it's not that, but it's
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. So here's how the Golden at bat
Speaker 1: would work. Okay, who's the best Who's the best Yankees hitter?
Speaker 1: Right now? It's got to be Judge, right, He's probably
Speaker 1: your top dog there. But pick whatever your team is.
Speaker 1: So let's say the Yankees every single game that they
Speaker 1: play would have an opportunity once during the game, at
Speaker 1: the selection of the team to insert another batter, and
Speaker 1: but without the things that happen when you do that, right,
Speaker 1: So if you swap a batter out, let's you know,
Speaker 1: this is like with pictures back in the day. So
Speaker 1: if you don't want your pitcher hitting, and they were
Speaker 1: up to bat in the seventh inning, you could pinch
Speaker 1: hit somebody for them, but that pitcher's out, and then
Speaker 1: now you got a new starting pitcher. That's not how
Speaker 1: this would work. You would be able to at one
Speaker 1: time per game, at any point, select any one of
Speaker 1: your players to go up to bat, and then everything
Speaker 1: would just stay the same, from fielding assignments things like that.
Speaker 1: They would just get an extra at bat whoever it is. Whoever.
Speaker 1: So if the Yankees decide they're in a situation where
Speaker 1: they absolutely must they got to get a hit, it's
Speaker 1: the eighth inning times ticking down. What are we gonna
Speaker 1: do or that part of our lineup we're not comfortable with.
Speaker 1: They just be like, hey, judge, you're up again. And
Speaker 1: then he goes in and hits. Do you understand what
Speaker 1: this does? I don't mean to be the old fogy.
Speaker 1: You understand all the stupid scenarios I could immediately think
Speaker 1: of in this and others have, and also what that
Speaker 1: does to hitting records and pitching records for that matter.
Speaker 1: You're a pitcher and you got to face the guy
Speaker 1: who's on a hot streak. He's hitting three thirty for
Speaker 1: the you know, three thirty, three fifty for the month,
Speaker 1: and you got to get an extra at bat. You
Speaker 1: got to pitch an extra at bat at that guy.
Speaker 1: Your er should feasibly suffer because now instead of pitching
Speaker 1: to Judge three times that game or four, you pitch
Speaker 1: to him five and Wade Bogs from from the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: He brought up a scenario that's a perfectly feasible scenario,
Speaker 1: but would be very strange. So let's say Judge does
Speaker 1: go up or he used I think Otani in the
Speaker 1: example or whatever. But let's say Judge goes up there
Speaker 1: and the pitcher is able to get him, and just
Speaker 1: it is normal at bat, and now they need one
Speaker 1: more out in that one more out in that inning
Speaker 1: and game's done. Why would the Yankees manager not go, hey, Judge,
Speaker 1: stay up there, go ahead, take three more. That's a
Speaker 1: powerful little ducket man. And now Judge gets an extra
Speaker 1: opportunity at bat. And if he's a guy who's chasing
Speaker 1: some of the records that Bogs either holds or is
Speaker 1: in the top ten of which is quite a few.
Speaker 1: Guy played a long time, was a very productive hitter,
Speaker 1: very I think he does. He still hold the records
Speaker 1: for like two baggers, three baggers. I think he was
Speaker 1: up there for a while at least on a double.
Speaker 1: So my point is, now he can you're kind of
Speaker 1: padding those stats, man, you get an extra at bat.
Speaker 1: That's a big deal when you're just trying to put
Speaker 1: up bulk numbers averages or averages. But when you're just
Speaker 1: trying to put bulk dumbers up, you know, hits because
Speaker 1: you're chasing Ripkin or whatever or Gwyn every at bat,
Speaker 1: every little every little ding out there, every little blooper
Speaker 1: that drops in. Man, you're just there is another one.
Speaker 1: There's another one. So I don't know. I again don't
Speaker 1: want to sound like an old fogy, but this sounds dumb.
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, what is it people like
Speaker 1: to see when they watch baseball? Now? Not just now?
Speaker 1: But what do we like to see? Do you like
Speaker 1: to see a pictures duel? Maybe those are fun sometimes,
Speaker 1: especially when you got guys who got a lot of
Speaker 1: movement on the ball, like some like peak nineties Atlanta Braves, Bullpen,
Speaker 1: You're just like, have the ball move there. You got
Speaker 1: guys like Glavin just killing it, man. But those could
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. But for the most part, if
Speaker 1: you go to a ball game, you want to see
Speaker 1: a guy hit a home run. Man better yet, you
Speaker 1: want to see him hit a home run over to
Speaker 1: where you are. If you're sitting out there and you
Speaker 1: see a few of those. In my head, I think
Speaker 1: of the best baseball games I've ever watched, and they
Speaker 1: haven't been pitchers duels. They just have it. Unless you're
Speaker 1: in weird like no hit or perfect game stuff which
Speaker 1: you don't really know you're in until you're already halfway. Minimum. No,
Speaker 1: you want to see, you want to see. You want
Speaker 1: to see guys hit dingers, as that kid said, So
Speaker 1: maybe fans embrace that stuff. I don't know. People are
Speaker 1: telling me, well, why don't you just walk the golden
Speaker 1: at bad hitter, because the other when the team's figuring
Speaker 1: out who's going to use their golden at bat, they're
Speaker 1: not going to put that person in a situation where
Speaker 1: they can just walk them and there's no penalty there,
Speaker 1: because then they're wasting their golden at bat. They're gonna
Speaker 1: put that person in bases loaded, two outs. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you can't walk that guy. You got a pitch to him,
Speaker 1: or you or you're giving up a run. So I
Speaker 1: understand the scenario there, but immediately a manager would be like, well, no,
Speaker 1: if I put my guy in, they're just gonna walk him.
Speaker 1: So we'll wait and use it when it's uh, when
Speaker 1: it's prudent, and and and and they'll use it in
Speaker 1: a very tactical way. That will that will then be
Speaker 1: kind of the same scenario over and over again, because
Speaker 1: that's where math where maths, that's what it makes sense.
Speaker 1: And so you'll be able to predict as a fan
Speaker 1: if you get comfortable with this kind of where they're
Speaker 1: going to use it, and then fans will why didn't
Speaker 1: you use it? Just like they're debating why didn't Chicago
Speaker 1: call a time out last week? What are you doing? So?
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you want to weigh in on that,
Speaker 1: you can, that'd be fun. All right, Let me grab
Speaker 1: a call here, Jamal, what's going on? Ma Man? Hello?
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Ksey, what's going on? Casey? Let me say this.
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't remember nineteen eighty eight and eighties,
Speaker 3: but North Koreans used to stand infiltrators to South Korea,
Speaker 3: and these people will join these activist groups and start
Speaker 3: convincing people to join North Korea, les reunite the Koreas
Speaker 3: with the strong North Korean government and try no tricking
Speaker 3: people telling hey, you know, we will you know, respect
Speaker 3: your rights, but let's go back and let's do one
Speaker 3: Korea because you know, Japan because the World War to
Speaker 3: Japan invaded Korea divided about and of course things like that. Now,
Speaker 3: in the nineteen nineties when I was in army, North
Speaker 3: Korean shot down a American scout shopper shot it down,
Speaker 3: and we thought we were going to go to war
Speaker 3: when I was in Army den But my point is
Speaker 3: this is nothing new. Anybody that's old enough to remember
Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties and you remember the political cartoons used
Speaker 3: to be in the newspaper. One I will always remember KC.
Speaker 3: It showed the nineteen eighty eight Olympics, and it showed
Speaker 3: the country's mascot. It showed the US of course the
Speaker 3: American Eagle, USS all the Russian bear. But for CEO,
Speaker 3: it showed the riot police because they was rioting this bad.
Speaker 3: This is nothing more than a continuation of more North
Speaker 3: Koreans trying to convent South Koreans. And now, like you
Speaker 3: said earlier, this love with socialism and being you know,
Speaker 3: the rich don't pay that fair share. Well, that's why
Speaker 3: I'm for North Korea propaganda. So if they're not surprised
Speaker 3: if they're trying to stick people in with these crazy activists,
Speaker 3: because we're not. But what we do over here is
Speaker 3: amplified what they do over there with activism, and they're
Speaker 3: rioting and protest. So the North Korean president is like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not even having this because that because people don't
Speaker 3: know they're still at war. Yes, you know, people don't
Speaker 3: know that it's an artist it's over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just they're currently in a standstill.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and it's a form you can't. You can't
Speaker 1: martial law like just like that, you know, latterly, especially
Speaker 1: when people within your own party were willing to also
Speaker 1: fight their way into the parliament, like you didn't read
Speaker 1: the room and vote against.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I was saying what he did was right. No,
Speaker 3: let me make sure you did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. His own people voted against him too, so.
Speaker 3: Part, well, yeah, that is true because there was unanimous
Speaker 3: don't do this. But people have to understand that what's
Speaker 3: been going on in South Korea for so long, with
Speaker 3: these riots and protests and historians getting over in the
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties, Oh my god, people will.
Speaker 1: Stay seventy nine, some of those same provocateurs a couple
Speaker 1: with all that cult stuff. I mean, that was that
Speaker 1: led to that assassination attempt and the previous martial law
Speaker 1: implementation there. So you're right, it's been going on for
Speaker 1: a very very long time. But you know, this guy,
Speaker 1: maybe he should have called some of the folks in
Speaker 1: his party and been like, hey, if I do this thing,
Speaker 1: you'd be cool with that, because it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: he did it. And now, and and the hit they
Speaker 1: took with intra day or inter day whatever the part
Speaker 1: of the day trading is on their own current. She
Speaker 1: was brutal. If you shorted the what what is it
Speaker 1: over I don't even know what it is over there
Speaker 1: with their currencies, But if you shorten their currency, yes, today,
Speaker 1: any timed it right. You made a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I made a lot of money. I know. No, it's
Speaker 1: not the dong that's Vietnam. I wish it was because
Speaker 1: then we could say that again. Seven forty seven raced
Speaker 1: ag X here no money needed, free weather or the
Speaker 1: asking no read ahead, sir, Yeah, yeah, cold.
Speaker 5: Some have dipped into the upper teens.
Speaker 1: Most of us near twenty are just.
Speaker 5: Above this cold air mass retreats, but another one's going
Speaker 5: to replace it, and by Friday morning we're just as
Speaker 5: cold once again. So we'll have a good looking day.
Speaker 5: It's a beautiful morning, but it is cold, upper forties
Speaker 5: this afternoon tonight in the thirties, so with the southwest
Speaker 5: flow out ahead of the next system, it is milder,
Speaker 5: and then we'll get to the upper forties, low fifties tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The winds are going to gus.
Speaker 5: There are some wind advisories the further west you go,
Speaker 5: and then the cold war comes in, and by Friday morning,
Speaker 5: as I said, we are probably in the upper teens
Speaker 5: to low twenty again and only in the upper thirties
Speaker 5: to low forties in the afternoon, So cold Friday coming
Speaker 5: in cold Friday night. Saturday, we'll start getting milder in
Speaker 5: the upper forties Sunday close to sixty as we quickly jump,
Speaker 5: so milder weather. And next week Casey does look like
Speaker 5: it's going to be milder and a little damp too,
Speaker 5: as we'll get some wet weather in here. Doesn't look
Speaker 5: like any wintery precpt. Maybe in the mountains, but uh,
Speaker 5: you know, after a cold week this week overall, I
Speaker 5: think we'll see some mild the air come in ACC
Speaker 5: Championship Saturday night. It's gonna be cold, so bundle up
Speaker 5: and no precpt. Better think the winds are going to
Speaker 5: die down.
Speaker 1: You anticipated my follow up question. Oh okay, an old
Speaker 1: group of guys, I know they've been on. Okay, tell
Speaker 1: they're all going down. They're all excited. So yeah, all right, anyway,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, sir, appreciate it, all right, and
Speaker 1: we will be right back. Hang on about Arizona State
Speaker 1: University professor Crystal Jackson. Uh, let's see, what do you
Speaker 1: need to know about Crystal? Does she have those oddly
Speaker 1: oversized glasses And I've never seen in a store anywhere,
Speaker 1: and yet these cats always find them. Yes, purple hair check,
Speaker 1: andy check check pronouns they she so AnyWho? Uh she has? Uh,
Speaker 1: she's she staked out a pretty interesting position. We're just
Speaker 1: reading the headline. Arizona State professor says stopping sex trafficking
Speaker 1: is anti immigrant, racist, and transphobic. She's come out pro
Speaker 1: sex trafficking I'm I'm not saying this is why martial
Speaker 1: law happens, but like you're surrounded by insane people and
Speaker 1: she's influencing kids in Arizona State.
Speaker 2: All right, imagine she's watching take it and she's like
Speaker 2: on the side of the sheek.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeahs like girls a new job, you live on
Speaker 1: a yacht. Why would you stand in her way? Never
Speaker 1: mind she was kidnapped.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we considered his point of view. You know, we
Speaker 2: need like a wick for the she from taking the
Speaker 2: Sheik from taking the guy showed up to the sex
Speaker 2: slave auction to buy himself an eighteen year old girl
Speaker 2: from California.
Speaker 1: That that wan that chic I got right there? Okay,
Speaker 1: well you know what, I bet Sheiking is very busy, right,
Speaker 1: you got a sheic, your chic it all day doing
Speaker 1: chic stuff, got chic meetings shes. This is why you
Speaker 1: always see them working so hard on the on the boat.
Speaker 1: But okay they don't so but he's a busy dude
Speaker 1: doing all the king. Do you think he's got time
Speaker 1: to go out and kidnap his own sex slaves? No,
Speaker 1: you go to a wholesaler, you absolute lunatic? All right,
Speaker 1: explain to me because we're not talking. And then immediately
Speaker 1: she goes into this thing. I wish there was audio,
Speaker 1: but it's part of a cloud. The thing she teaches.
Speaker 1: It's literally in a PowerPoint document. What is it? What
Speaker 1: is this damn thing called? Well, anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: But basically, basically this is this is something that she's
Speaker 1: she didn't just say, she put together as a lesson plan.
Speaker 1: There is a point that I'm trying to make. Here
Speaker 1: we go queer ex faculty flash talks event. All right,
Speaker 1: So in addition to that, the speech or the speech
Speaker 1: or the presentation includes, let's see condemnation of the anti
Speaker 1: trafficking movement due to the devian framing of sex workers.
Speaker 1: They're not sex workers by choice when you're talking about this. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If if some twenty five year old
Speaker 1: chick wants to go to Las Vegas and apply the
Speaker 1: oldest trade over there, I think the majority of Americans,
Speaker 1: unless it's in their neighborhood, outside of moral or religious objections,
Speaker 1: don't see it as the biggest issue going. Say an
Speaker 1: article about this, Arizona State Professor, Uh, it's saying that
Speaker 1: sex traffic, the stopping of sex trafficking is anti immigrant, racist,
Speaker 1: and transphobic, Okay, since we're seemingly not going to delineate
Speaker 1: one adults versus children or even adults. But who are
Speaker 1: are being are are in it for under duress, okay,
Speaker 1: and the and there is a line there. There are
Speaker 1: people like there are people that you and you've seen
Speaker 1: it on maybe you wouldn't believe it unless you've seen
Speaker 1: the only fans. There are a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are perfectly comfortable working in that industry. And if that's
Speaker 1: what they want to do legally, that's one thing. And
Speaker 1: nobody's sports. That is one thing, right, and they can
Speaker 1: go to the bunny ranch or one of the others
Speaker 1: or whatever. But that's we're talking about. We're talking about people,
Speaker 1: most of them foreign in this case, who are brought here.
Speaker 1: And yes, there are some who may work in the
Speaker 1: sex industry in the country they're from where, you know,
Speaker 1: in a lot of places where it's legal where these
Speaker 1: folks come from, and then they come to the US
Speaker 1: and if they're willing to do the work there, they
Speaker 1: want to do the work in the US because a
Speaker 1: lot more money to be made, right. But also there's
Speaker 1: people who out of sheer desperation, make these deals with
Speaker 1: the devils man, and as a result, they are literally
Speaker 1: paying for services, coyote services, or there are debts that
Speaker 1: are owed by their family and now that's duress man.
Speaker 1: They get them to the US. If you've never seen
Speaker 1: some of these places in like Texas, at Arizona, New
Speaker 1: Mexico down by the border, even California where they have
Speaker 1: these they bring they bring these women in and then
Speaker 1: they stick them in a house generally you know, kind
Speaker 1: of in a more rural area, and that's what they
Speaker 1: do all day. And if they try to leave, good luck.
Speaker 1: Their families could get killed. If they try to leave
Speaker 1: and or disobey, they're threatened with essentially removal. We'll just
Speaker 1: hand you over to authorities. And while that may be
Speaker 1: a more empty threat now because literally we look at
Speaker 1: stuff like this, this what this woman is saying that
Speaker 1: needs to go, would would open that faucet wide open.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Sixty four percent of women traffic for
Speaker 1: exploit exploitation are forced into this into sex slavery, so
Speaker 1: not even the majority of them that they talk to
Speaker 1: once they bust these places claim that in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or form, they agreed to this or at the
Speaker 1: very least agreed to whatever it turned into. And this
Speaker 1: lunatic is like, no, no, what you gotta do is
Speaker 1: you got to stop the human trafficking groups because they're
Speaker 1: quote anti immigrant, racist and homophobic. So how does she
Speaker 1: want to fix it? Because she wants them to get
Speaker 1: rid of the foster It's called the FOSTA Act and
Speaker 1: there's another one too, but basically those are the laws.
Speaker 1: One is the online foster is the online one, and
Speaker 1: then the trap here it is Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
Speaker 1: So she wants those out because those are racists. So
Speaker 1: how would it work. Well, she says that first we
Speaker 1: need a full decriminalization of sex work first and foremost,
Speaker 1: and now that it would be then be legalized. Here's
Speaker 1: how it would work. A person in the United States
Speaker 1: could sponsor, just as if you were hiring a pitcher
Speaker 1: for your baseball team or you're a staff or like
Speaker 1: an old Brucero program where we have these work permits,
Speaker 1: they could go and they could sponsor these. You know,
Speaker 1: a girl and I'm assuming guys as well, but primarily
Speaker 1: it's women from another country to come here to essentially
Speaker 1: be their sex slave or they're sex provider. Now, I
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, like, well, what about those guys
Speaker 1: go marry the Russian brides? I hear you, but that's
Speaker 1: not what we're talking about here, because under those programs,
Speaker 1: they got to marry him and then they got to
Speaker 1: go through special like visas and all of this stuff. Again,
Speaker 1: I watched my buddy marry a Canadian girl and I
Speaker 1: remember the process he went through with all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't this lurid thing. They actually liked each other.
Speaker 1: So this is that's crazy. So instead of the instead
Speaker 1: of the pimp thing or the or the cartel, now
Speaker 1: they just have a legalized sponsor. Can I open it?
Speaker 1: Can I open an emporium on this stuff? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: little Baskin Robbins all the flavors kind of thing. Right.
Speaker 1: You see some guy pouring over his computer on my website.
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know, Mexican or Italian and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're ordering food. No, not exactly. So the thing is
Speaker 1: the reason for these for women any up in these
Speaker 1: situations and a lot of instances is because of that
Speaker 1: outside pressure. I just talked about where they owe a
Speaker 1: debt for essentially getting you know, getting people across into
Speaker 1: the United States and how they pay that debt. This
Speaker 1: is how they do it. So if if this is
Speaker 1: something that you're being forced to do, because now one
Speaker 1: of your relatives might find themselves essentially hung from a
Speaker 1: wire by an angry cartel to send a message to
Speaker 1: other people, you do what you do, but you do
Speaker 1: so under duress, and this doesn't solve any of that. Also,
Speaker 1: if that person was to come here and then quit
Speaker 1: or raise alarm because you've now actually communicated those two
Speaker 1: laws because they're quote unquote races, then that person would
Speaker 1: just be like anybody, like anybody else who had a
Speaker 1: visa to work in the United States or a visa
Speaker 1: to go to college in education, then to stop doing it,
Speaker 1: you would be subject to removal. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: ten year college professor right there. That's the absolute lunacy
Speaker 1: that I hope that the Trump administration was some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that they're wanting to do, like bringing in
Speaker 1: was it Corey di'angelo to help purge and the way
Speaker 1: that they'll purge it is that if you're if you're
Speaker 1: if you're getting a bunch of tax dollars and you're
Speaker 1: doing things that are inherently illegal in some instances, but
Speaker 1: at the very least are detrimental to the idea of
Speaker 1: going and getting, you know, a further in education. I
Speaker 1: saw a stat This is a crazy stat. Do you
Speaker 1: know from the National Institute of Health the percentage of
Speaker 1: the allocated dollars that went to far left ideological things
Speaker 1: ten years ago versus today, specifically surrounding a lot of
Speaker 1: the transgender stuff. Do you know what the percentage of
Speaker 1: fundy from the National Institute of Health, which is you know,
Speaker 1: gives these grants for medical research and for things like,
Speaker 1: you know, things along those lines. It was point three
Speaker 1: percent ten years ago. It's now a third of the
Speaker 1: grants that they make. Do you think do you think
Speaker 1: that's a do you think that that is a proper
Speaker 1: use of it? Or is it a show that's turned into
Speaker 1: just a big slush fund for all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: The answer is the second one. So if you can
Speaker 1: better control of those dollars go, then uh, maybe you
Speaker 1: don't empower this person like Crystal Jackson to go over
Speaker 1: there and speak so comfortable advocating for sex slavery openly
Speaker 1: and not worried that there would ever be consequences for
Speaker 1: that and the consequences or not she goes to jail.
Speaker 1: The consequences are that you normal people look at that
Speaker 1: and go, Dear God, that person's not teaching kids, are
Speaker 1: they Well, I'm not sending my kid there, or are
Speaker 1: my tax dollars aren't going to support that? Because I've
Speaker 1: never seen someone openly advocate for this in a position
Speaker 1: and to feel comfortable doing it like that is Uh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild to me, all right, eight fourteen Cacoday
Speaker 1: Radio program. Hang on all these cities who go and
Speaker 1: they waste all your money on stupid things like equity
Speaker 1: and diversity directors and pet projects, and you know, it
Speaker 1: never really funnels down in the way that it used
Speaker 1: to to things like public safety. And so then they
Speaker 1: got to figure out other revenue sources and never for
Speaker 1: a moment go hey, maybe we shouldn't spend so much
Speaker 1: damn money. So like a lot of places things are
Speaker 1: places that used to be free to park, well, let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and build people on those and employ a
Speaker 1: team of traffic cops to meter maids to make sure
Speaker 1: we're extracting the maximum amount of money and or penalty
Speaker 1: from somebody who just wants to pop in for five
Speaker 1: minutes and grab a sandwich at some downtown business, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, is now being impacted because of the
Speaker 1: parking fees because it makes people less likely to want
Speaker 1: to come there. City of Rochester, here we go, it
Speaker 1: was time to go ahead and start draining motorist wallets.
Speaker 1: So they went and they utilized their own system kind of,
Speaker 1: and they created these QR codes. Now, why do you
Speaker 1: think using QR codes, which I think there's a QR
Speaker 1: code on the Raleigh one too, but it's plate derivative
Speaker 1: and you do it on the machine here, so they
Speaker 1: didn't have to have the individual mechanized parking meters. They
Speaker 1: have QR codes and then you scan the QR code
Speaker 1: and you pay completely online, which you can do with
Speaker 1: some of the other meters, but there's also the option
Speaker 1: to do it at point of meter. What do you
Speaker 1: think immediately happened? These geniuses never for a moment it
Speaker 1: across their mind that some dude who is a scam artist,
Speaker 1: all he had to do was in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night go and cover the QR sticker with all
Speaker 1: of his own stickers. So they implement the program in
Speaker 1: the city's like, why isn't money coming in and they
Speaker 1: read in this one section, this one area of Rochester,
Speaker 1: because almost immediately somebody went and checked the QR codes
Speaker 1: and it turns out of the seven hundred meters in
Speaker 1: one of the busiest areas, he selected twenty on this block,
Speaker 1: put his own sticker on, and everybody's been paying out
Speaker 1: of this and it's all you know, it all goes
Speaker 1: to a payment site that's from like Romania or something,
Speaker 1: so they can't figure out who did it. And now
Speaker 1: they're like, well, what are we gonna do with the
Speaker 1: Just keep covering up the QR codes. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe not harassed people want to go to your downtown
Speaker 1: that you're trying to revitalize, you absolute lunatics. Maybe spend
Speaker 1: your money a little more. Uh, I don't know, respectfully,
Speaker 1: precisely and in the interest of your actual citizenry. Just
Speaker 1: a theory. So this is pretty crazy. Then get into
Speaker 1: this here book. Oh come on, there you go, all right.
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what to believe.
Speaker 1: What do you receive the YMCA song as Is it
Speaker 1: a gay anthem? Is it just a fun thing to
Speaker 1: dance to? Is it a song that Trump uses on
Speaker 1: the regular, which it is. Yeah, But you know, what's
Speaker 1: what's your perception of the village people. I think most
Speaker 1: people most people think of when they think of the
Speaker 1: village people, they think of obviously YMCA and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and in the Navy and all the rest, But they
Speaker 1: think of it as something that was at the very
Speaker 1: least embraced by the gay community. That's undeniable. So I
Speaker 1: find it interesting. And I don't have beef with this
Speaker 1: dude in any way, shape or form. I just find
Speaker 1: it interesting because they kind of tried to drag him
Speaker 1: into the the anyone, anyone who has even anything that
Speaker 1: they unknowingly is utilized by anyone around Trump. What is
Speaker 1: the what's the first thing the media and these activists do.
Speaker 1: They call the person like, we're all gonna we're never
Speaker 1: gonna buy your music again. If you don't stop him,
Speaker 1: can't do it. And then you get these stupid artists
Speaker 1: like Dave Grohl who come out who I had a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for and I have zero respect for
Speaker 1: now that and the whole wife thing, but that's another story,
Speaker 1: come out and they lie to you and they go,
Speaker 1: we didn't give permission, Yes you did, you did because
Speaker 1: you participated in the licensing of your music with ASKAP
Speaker 1: or BMI, and as a result, you did that so
Speaker 1: you didn't have to individually work out license deals with
Speaker 1: radio stations and live venues and all of the things,
Speaker 1: because it's a complex process and people should be paid
Speaker 1: for their work. And this is the best scenario. But
Speaker 1: you you did it. And as a result, the Trump campaign,
Speaker 1: like that bar down the street who wants to have
Speaker 1: a music license, or this radio station, well maybe not
Speaker 1: this one we're talking, but you get the gist. They
Speaker 1: go and they do licensing deals and then they do
Speaker 1: so through these the big licensing groups as CAT, BMI,
Speaker 1: and there's some smaller ones. But and that's how it goes.
Speaker 1: And so nobody broke any law. Nobody did anything. You
Speaker 1: were having to do a little show for you know,
Speaker 1: some of your hardcore moon that people who you've overestimated
Speaker 1: as being your only fans, and you then alienate other people.
Speaker 1: It's wild to me. So when Victor Willis, who is
Speaker 1: a founding member of the Village People, he was the
Speaker 1: cop I guess.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They started getting into him because Trump kept using YMCA
Speaker 1: and what they wanted is they wanted him to come
Speaker 1: out and go this, this will not stand, We will
Speaker 1: not allow this. And he went a very different direction.
Speaker 1: So he wrote a lengthy Facebook post yesterday explaining that
Speaker 1: the song was based on his perception of the YMCA.
Speaker 1: Says he grew up in uh in An oak Oakland
Speaker 1: or Sacramento, northern California, very black community, art part of
Speaker 1: the Oakland community, and h everyone in the neighborhood. We
Speaker 1: go to the YMCA, go to the YMCA, and it's
Speaker 1: and by the way, this isn't a black or white
Speaker 1: thing or rule or busy. We had a Wya Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Wyoming was very I don't know if it's still the same.
Speaker 1: They were very proud that they had the They were
Speaker 1: this town the smallest town in America with the YMCA.
Speaker 1: So we had a YMCA, and you know what everyone did.
Speaker 1: They went to the YMCA because you know, I basketball courts,
Speaker 1: had a pool, sauna, uh you know, do all that stuff,
Speaker 1: especially when the snow's falling. We were always over there,
Speaker 1: always over there. And so he's just saying, look, when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, me and the boys meaning me
Speaker 1: and my friends, we go to YMCA. We played basketball,
Speaker 1: we gamble, which I never did that at the YMCA.
Speaker 1: But sure, do what you want. That's what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: And he said that the reason he's not stopping Trump
Speaker 1: I was put in a nutshell is because everyone perceives
Speaker 1: it has been that it was a song written about
Speaker 1: guys who were going to the YMCA, and it's but
Speaker 1: it's a gay thing. And he's just like, it's not.
Speaker 1: But it's also is if you want it to be,
Speaker 1: can be whatever you want it to be. He goes,
Speaker 1: I just wrote a song and yes, obviously my writing
Speaker 1: partner is gay, and I don't remember how many of
Speaker 1: the village people are gay. But like he he doesn't see,
Speaker 1: he's doesn't have a beef. He just said, you all
Speaker 1: think this song is this one thing, and it's not.
Speaker 1: And so if Donald Trump's using in that capacity, it
Speaker 1: tells me that he understands it's just a song that
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. I think it's his last official
Speaker 1: state visit thing. I has decided to head to Angola,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so he's over there and I saw a
Speaker 1: little rundown of some of the stuff they were gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, the reason for the season over there. But
Speaker 1: yesterday it is a little press conference. There was another item.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was going to be doing. And
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna warn you when I played the audio,
Speaker 1: you gotta have some questions as to why this is
Speaker 1: the thing he's doing, and especially if you know you're
Speaker 1: if you have any knowledge of what has transpired in
Speaker 1: western North Carolina, which I'm assuming almost everyone does. So
Speaker 1: with that in mind, what is Biden overdoing in Angola well,
Speaker 1: among other things.
Speaker 6: Then no, that's the right thing for the wealthiest nation
Speaker 6: in the world to do. And today I'm announcing over
Speaker 6: one billion dollars in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced
Speaker 6: from homes by historic droughts and food and security for
Speaker 6: you know, African leaders and citizens are seeking more than
Speaker 6: just aid, you seek investment. So the United States is
Speaker 6: expanding our relationship all across Africa, from assistance to aid,
Speaker 6: investment to trade, moving from patrons to partners. Help bridge
Speaker 6: the infrastructure gap. I was told, by the way, when
Speaker 6: I got elected, I could never get an infrastructure bill passed.
Speaker 1: And by the way, what does your infrastructure bill have
Speaker 1: to do with Angola? I guess would be that, Quie,
Speaker 1: there are a lot If anyone ever want to have
Speaker 1: an honest conversation about why Africa lags and eliminate the
Speaker 1: human part of it. Okay, right, eliminate that, Eliminate you know,
Speaker 1: generational poverty, eliminate, eliminate all of these things. Just look
Speaker 1: at the land. Africa is not set up to flourish
Speaker 1: and facilitate large scale economic growth because of the geography.
Speaker 1: They do not have for the most part, they do
Speaker 1: not have deep water ports. They have the largest amount
Speaker 1: of landlocked countries, and a lot of that is in
Speaker 1: force militarily and and quite brutally. But that's the human
Speaker 1: part again. So let's just go back to the geography.
Speaker 1: Other than the Nile, they do not have navigable rivers
Speaker 1: for any extensive lengths of stretches. And in fact, excuse me,
Speaker 1: the largest amount, the largest other river there, the Congo River,
Speaker 1: while it has the capacity for most of it has
Speaker 1: such a steep because what Africa is once you just
Speaker 1: get in about one hundred miles is it's a giant
Speaker 1: butte i guess or plateau. And so the problem you
Speaker 1: have is that these rivers when they're making their final runout,
Speaker 1: they're not subtle, they're not slow, and so it it
Speaker 1: is a recipe to make things more difficult. The Mississippi
Speaker 1: River might have been one of the largest reasons the
Speaker 1: US was so prosperous. It's if you were to put
Speaker 1: a piece of land together and ask for all the
Speaker 1: stuff that you want to facilitate growth and expansion of
Speaker 1: that land. You would want one deep water ports, and
Speaker 1: you would want large internal ports so that you can
Speaker 1: expand and build things, which are East Coast provides. In fact,
Speaker 1: I saw a stat that if you get up around
Speaker 1: Hampton Roads and all the Chesapeake and you just count
Speaker 1: the shoreline for all of that up there, there is
Speaker 1: more shoreline just in that span of the Chesapeake up
Speaker 1: to and including what you have to go all the
Speaker 1: way up in like Philadelphia and everything, and it was
Speaker 1: the James River. But if that whole area right there,
Speaker 1: there is more, there's more harbor space, a coastal space.
Speaker 1: So it has to be coast, but it has to
Speaker 1: be to have the facility for a boat to literally
Speaker 1: pull up to it in that area than on the
Speaker 1: entire continent of Africa. And we had that, and then
Speaker 1: we have internally we have all this land with a
Speaker 1: navigable river in it, so you can go, you can
Speaker 1: take a boat up to about Saint Cloud, Minnesota. If
Speaker 1: you want to lock through everything but get north of
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities all the way down obviously to the
Speaker 1: Gulf of Mexico. That's huge and that is what spurs
Speaker 1: economic growth and allows infrastructure all of these things. So
Speaker 1: with that in mind, you could have that adult discussion
Speaker 1: or or you just throw more money at it with
Speaker 1: minimal oversight. And I don't know what the answer is,
Speaker 1: but this type of infrastructure, like that train they want
Speaker 1: to put across Africa, that thing is going to be
Speaker 1: a criminal nightmare from various groups who don't want it,
Speaker 1: who will exploit or utilize it. And frankly, every section
Speaker 1: of it that they've done so far has not worked
Speaker 1: real well because you still have to have the stuff.
Speaker 1: You got a ship. And I don't know what the
Speaker 1: answer is, but I do know that you're flying all
Speaker 1: the way to Angola, sir. To stand there and start
Speaker 1: it off by talking about a billion dollars for storm victims?
Speaker 1: What do you think people in North Carolina think about that?
Speaker 1: Who are even sympathetic to people in Angola in other
Speaker 1: parts of Africa. It's it again, it's this disconnect where
Speaker 1: it's the five thousand dollars a dipen for people who
Speaker 1: came here illegally, and you just took it on the road, says,
Speaker 1: take this show on the road. If we want to
Speaker 1: irritate some people, that should be people should be angry
Speaker 1: about that. No, what are they angry about? Donald Trump
Speaker 1: joking about Canada being the fifty first state and then
Speaker 1: posting dumb memes of him standing on the top of
Speaker 1: a mountain which looks to be in the Alps, because
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that's mom blanc in the distance.
Speaker 1: It would be old Canadian flag and a smile on
Speaker 1: his face. That's what you're mad about. And then you're
Speaker 1: and then you're on talk shows talking about it. Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders is taking it. You know, Oh you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Here's why. Well, one, yeah, you end up on the Canadians.
Speaker 1: But two, if they offered you Canaday, you should probably
Speaker 1: think about it. I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: They're the second largest in land area and you would
Speaker 1: control essentially essentially thirty to forty percent of the Arctic
Speaker 1: at that point, or at least the passable portions of it.
Speaker 1: That's huge, right, you know that the big you know
Speaker 1: that the big plan as as things continue to change
Speaker 1: from a glacial standpoint and a freezing standpoint, We're not
Speaker 1: gonna get an argument over who's who's causing this or that.
Speaker 1: The reality is the things change, right, things changed, Areas
Speaker 1: then get warmer, and then they get cooler eventually, and
Speaker 1: then it freezes up more. They're on the cusp up
Speaker 1: there of being able to have a shipping lane that's
Speaker 1: pretty reliable and that's where people are going to go through.
Speaker 1: And in fact, Alaska may have been the single smartest
Speaker 1: thing that the US has ever acquired if that's the case,
Speaker 1: because they would have a we would have a near
Speaker 1: monopoly on the facilities, which would essentially be the you know,
Speaker 1: the touchoff point for the Western hemisphere, and that includes
Speaker 1: all of the all of the the repackaging, the loading,
Speaker 1: unloading of cargo ships and then sending out other cargo ships.
Speaker 1: It it eliminates a lot of the monetary stuff that
Speaker 1: goes to Panama now, so they're not happy, but the
Speaker 1: US would get that and we would essentially control shipping lanes,
Speaker 1: which is very powerful, very powerful if you're Panama on
Speaker 1: you tell a country that they can't cross through the
Speaker 1: canal or if you control the canal system up there
Speaker 1: in Turkey and you won't let you won't let any
Speaker 1: US military ship pass through there, which is currently the
Speaker 1: law up there. Meanwhile, Russia can bop around up up
Speaker 1: up above of the passage do whatever they want, terrorize people. Well,
Speaker 1: the US would have that level of control, Like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of really crazy interesting discussions gonna be had here.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile you're handing out money while some lunatic in
Speaker 1: western North Carolina it's like, well, we can't let people
Speaker 1: live in these houses because they're not They don't even
Speaker 1: get a certificate of occupancy. But what do they just
Speaker 1: want to live there for a month now? And their
Speaker 1: homage built? Like what do the homist know about? Like
Speaker 1: I listen to lunatics like that, you're in Angoli? Give
Speaker 1: them money away?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do doesn't care. Man, he has he has lost
Speaker 1: the ply lost a plot a while ago, and now
Speaker 1: it's it's like it's like the like the vengeance Tour,
Speaker 1: except I'm subconscious. I even don't think he knows he's
Speaker 1: doing it any who. All right, eight forty four raced
Speaker 1: Agic Weather Channel. He's uh, he's here with us let's
Speaker 1: chat with him. How are you doing, sir? We're doing
Speaker 1: all right? So cold, yeah, getting better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and another shot comes in later tomorrow for Friday
Speaker 5: morning and Friday and then it gets better. I think
Speaker 5: next week really is going to be where we see
Speaker 5: the noticeable changes now looking at milder week, a damp
Speaker 5: week with in some spots Tuesday maybe seventy so yeah,
Speaker 5: maybe seventy a triangle. Yeah, so you know, Raleigh, Durham
Speaker 5: in and around Fayetteville temperatures upper sixties near seventy. So
Speaker 5: in the short term, it's still more seasonable than we've
Speaker 5: been as it's cold this morning, but we will get
Speaker 5: probably to the upper forties today most spots and then
Speaker 5: low fifties tomorrow. Now, tomorrow morning's a big changes to
Speaker 5: mid upper thirties for overnight low. So take a look
Speaker 5: right now. Yeah, you're probably mid upper twenties in most spots.
Speaker 5: And then as I said, the winds will start to
Speaker 5: pick up. Will be southwest at first tomorrow afternoon and
Speaker 5: then shift around to the northwest and the front will
Speaker 5: come through, and Friday morning we're back to where we
Speaker 5: are this morning, so you know, don't put that heavy
Speaker 5: jacket too far away and only near forty on Friday Saturday,
Speaker 5: close to fifty upper forties to mid forties for most
Speaker 5: of US. Mid upper fifties on Sunday and Sunday, and
Speaker 5: then Monday the chance of showers with the sixty degree
Speaker 5: temperatures come back. Tuesday at chance of showers, as we're
Speaker 5: probably going to get once again close to the mid
Speaker 5: upper sixties, maybe seventy with enough sunshine. I think later
Speaker 5: in the week we'll see more precent maybe a heavier
Speaker 5: rain event around Wednesday Thursday.
Speaker 1: But as I.
Speaker 5: Mentioned, early next week, middle of next week, damp, milder,
Speaker 5: and then we may turn slightly cooler toward the end
Speaker 5: of the week.
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you sir, appreciate it. We'll chant
Speaker 1: see you, okay, and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger
Speaker 1: next hang on Cacoda Radi program Bloomberg News Now with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well morning, casey.
Speaker 7: Stock market futures of look good all morning at Dow
Speaker 7: futures or up two hundred ten points, could see early
Speaker 7: rally A private sector employers continued to hire last month.
Speaker 7: ADP reporting this morning that one hundred forty six thousand
Speaker 7: workers were added to pay rolls in November, just a
Speaker 7: little shy of the one hundred fifty thousand expected by economists.
Speaker 7: A majority of American workers receive pay increases over the
Speaker 7: last twelve months, according to Bankrate, but a lot of
Speaker 7: people still say their wages have yet to catch up
Speaker 7: with inflation. Just over sixty percent of the workers' survey
Speaker 7: said their earnings have improved, either because they earned a
Speaker 7: raise or they switched to a better paying job. Campbell
Speaker 7: shares are lower in pre market trading. The soup company's
Speaker 7: latest quarterly sales fell short forecasts, and its chief executive
Speaker 7: is leaving to.
Speaker 1: Run a football team.
Speaker 7: Mark Klaus will become president of the NFL's Washington Commanders.
Speaker 7: The E coli out break that hit McDonald's in late
Speaker 7: October is officially over now. The Centers for Disease Control made.

Speaker 7: Air Helps twenty twenty four, ranking of the world's best
Speaker 7: and worst performing airlines, is out. Two US carriers are
Speaker 7: among the top five. United As ranked third, American came
Speaker 7: in fourth, Jet Blues in the bottom fifty, and Casey
Speaker 7: Minuscule appetizers showing up on the menus at some high
Speaker 7: end restaurants. In what the Wall Street Journal says is
Speaker 7: a new trend ingredients such as caviare and truffles are
Speaker 7: incorporated into tiny portions that can sell for as much
Speaker 7: as thirty dollars. And because they're too small to share,
Speaker 7: every customer has to order.
Speaker 1: His or her own.
Speaker 7: So it's a good deal for the restaurants.
Speaker 1: I'll bet it is, all right, look good for them.
Speaker 1: So thank you very much, Jeff, Do appreciate it. Wele
Speaker 1: chat tomorrow, sir. Okay, have a good date, all right
Speaker 1: there you Jeff Ellinger, Bloomberg News. Oh no oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no oh. I just looked at the both of them. Uh, sorry,
Speaker 1: you gonna make this ross this problem? Do do?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Ross? I just sent you a link to a story there, buddy,
Speaker 1: you should open that cracked that bad way open right there. Well,
Speaker 1: I tell people what's going on. A man and woman
Speaker 1: we're on a road trip. Now. It was a they
Speaker 1: describe it as a reconciliation road trip. Right, they had
Speaker 1: previously been a thing thinking about getting back together. And uh,
Speaker 1: and they're driving on I eighty five. They're in Georgia
Speaker 1: and the mood hits and why not. You know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to get back together, maybe said the old flame
Speaker 1: was rekindled. And so they did what most of us
Speaker 1: would do. They decided they were going to make a
Speaker 1: little pit stop. No not at a roadside motel or
Speaker 1: anything like that. No not. We've been parked I guess
Speaker 1: maybe oddly in the back of a rest stop somewhere,
Speaker 1: which probably isn't a good idea, but at the very least,
Speaker 1: if it's maybe you get away with it now. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: They pulled into the Raceway gas station and then just
Speaker 1: got went to town man. According to officers, you know,
Speaker 1: people could see what was going on in there, so
Speaker 1: by the time they responded, they located a white female
Speaker 1: on top of a black female and each of their parts. See,
Speaker 1: initially they identified the one as a man, and it
Speaker 1: turns out it was actually a woman and whatever. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you also can't do it in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Raceway parking lot at a gas pump by my dad
Speaker 1: at a seven in the evening. People will notice, they
Speaker 1: will notice these things ross you know where I never
Speaker 1: heard this thing happening, never heard a story about this
Speaker 1: happening at a BUCkies. He's go into those beautiful restroom
Speaker 1: there and take one of those RIVD booze. Yeah, hicized doors.
Speaker 2: That's a good point, yeah, he So look at the
Speaker 2: mugshot here, you said, yeah, and I tweeted this sound
Speaker 2: the show count of Casey and the radio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hat some thoughts.
Speaker 2: She she is a very old looking forty nine.
Speaker 1: I was I was just at age. Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 1: That's why I made that noise right.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because at first I saw this and I
Speaker 2: was like, I thought, I thought the story was going
Speaker 2: to be that the uh, you know, the the the
Speaker 2: person had sex with like an eighty year old or something.
Speaker 2: She looks super old, like she's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh yeah, and her her her her friend
Speaker 1: is thirty seven, and that looks like an old thirty
Speaker 1: seven too. But you're right now, it's it's been a
Speaker 1: rough I don't know, I don't know. And you know what,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I don't want to pick on her
Speaker 1: for the old stuff. Probably a lot of drug use.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. The raceway parking lot people are
Speaker 1: gonna notice, They're going to say things. That's not even
Speaker 1: the creepiest picture we have. Have you guys seen the
Speaker 1: CGI pictures of I guess what they're going to go
Speaker 1: with for the dwarfs for the Snow White movie, which
Speaker 1: is now up to like a half billion dollars. And uh,
Speaker 1: why that one dwarf is Tommy Lee Jones is wrong?
Speaker 2: It's Tommy Lee Jones with a super big nose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did we do? So you guys, you got
Speaker 1: you're brought in all these artists. You spent another two
Speaker 1: hundred million in CGI for Tommy Lee Jones with a
Speaker 1: giant nose. Meanwhile, Peter Dinklige basically a kneecapped all the
Speaker 1: other uh you know, workers who would normally have these roles,
Speaker 1: and it forced Disney into there, and that's, you know,
Speaker 1: that's got to be one of the sweetest money making
Speaker 1: gigs if that's physically a role that you you would
Speaker 1: you could function in because you are a dwarf for
Speaker 1: a little person or any of the rest, and they
Speaker 1: just want to act in. Dinkledge man, he he got
Speaker 1: in there and established himself as as the you know,
Speaker 1: the go to actor of that genre and then basically
Speaker 1: pulled up the little ladder behind him
