WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It was even though you know, we're over a week

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:07.599
<v Speaker 1>into the new administration, yesterday was it was like it

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>was the first day. It was just insane. And it

4
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>because everyone was doing the thing that they do, right,

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>so Trump's doing the thing, you know, He's doing the

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>things he said he was gonna do when he was

7
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>running in the h and I keep using the term,

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>but there's no other way to say it. It's, you know,

9
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>it's the drinking from the fire hose method of governing,

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and the media has got to try to keep up.

11
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>And it caused that situation I told you about yesterday,

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>where like the he repealed affirmative action and nobody really

13
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 1>covered it very much. And eight years ago, that would

14
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>have been an insane thing in the in the news cycle,

15
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like everyone would have been freaking out. It would have

16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>had all the gas. They would have pointed out that

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it's almost Black History Month and that's by design, and

18
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>then leave out the context that this is when we

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>put a new president in the whole thing would have

20
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>been backcraped, crazy and nothing. So yesterday the media finally

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>able to coalesce around a narrative. The narrative is Trump

22
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 1>just shut off all the government all the people will starve,

23
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>all the old people will die. There's gonna be no medicaid.

24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be no medicare. There's gonna be no food stamps.

25
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be no police. I don't even have time

26
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>to list all the things, even though I was able

27
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 1>to when I started seeing these, I was able to

28
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>go and look at the statements and the order, and

29
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>it specifically did not, I repeat, did not affect those programs.

30
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>What it did affect, and it is a pause, I

31
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>would point out, is all the this other ancillary stuff,

32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>all this these crazy stories that come up from time

33
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to time or annually get put in that book of

34
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>government waste that a couple senators like to put out,

35
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, things like rubbers for Gaza and which

36
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing is crazy. Russo made a bunch of

37
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>pictures this morning. Apparently he too was looking at that.

38
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know what it is, wait for it.

39
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to it, because I don't even know what

40
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to think. They're also, man, you want a rabbit hole?

41
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the story here from inauguration day in Vermont,

42
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 1>right up by the Canadian border, where a US Border

43
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Patrol agent was shot and killed. Do you know who

44
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they claim did it and who you're dealing with there,

45
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>because that was a weird story, right, Like a lot

46
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of people probably maybe they saw the name or something,

47
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't really understand what was going on there

48
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>and why a border patrol age. Maybe they thought they

49
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 1>were apprehending people coming to It's far crazier than that.

50
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>The the suspects here, let me read this. It's a couple, okay,

51
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's more than a couple. They are like Montana

52
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>militia style, but it's a cult of of trans militia.

53
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>It's it's crazy. I told you it's crazy. And federal

54
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement have been actually surveilling Felix Ophilia Backolt and

55
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Theresa Milo young Blood who goes by They literally in

56
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>the press release here they have the pronouns z zemzers.

57
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Is that for both Okay, it's both of them. The

58
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>reason that law enforcement decided to go ahead and roll

59
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>up on them that day is the couple had gone

60
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to a motel in Lyndonville, Vermont, and the people at

61
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 1>the hotel said something, saw something, said something. But also

62
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>they were being surveilled, so in whatever capacity they were

63
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>being surveilled. Law enforcement saw what Motel staff saw, and

64
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>that was them dressing up in a bunch of black

65
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>tactical clothing, which isn't inherently illegal, but a crap ton

66
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 1>of weapons, which also isn't necessarily illegal. And then also

67
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>they had some sort of protective equipment, so I'm assuming

68
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>that means ves, perhaps a shield of some sort. I

69
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know. So what do they do. They pulled them over,

70
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>They're like, what's you know, let's let's see what's going on.

71
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>And it was at that point they just decided they

72
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>were going to shoot the police officer, also Backholt, the

73
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>oh Felix Bachholt was killed and young Blood was injured

74
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>and survived. So anyway, this thing, the more you dig

75
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>into this thing, it just gets crazier and crazier, like

76
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the cult status, which I don't like, what does that

77
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>even mean? They don't do a very good job of

78
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 1>outlining it. But but yeah, that's what was going on

79
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>up there, man. According to federal law enforcement. There's a

80
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>bunch of photos and then like, uh, finally some journalists

81
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>decided to dig into this, and and when you do,

82
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and they start talking like people in Berkeley in this

83
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>this one article I was looking at. Yeah, Jessica Taylor,

84
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a Berkeley, California women who actually had been friends I

85
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>think with one of them, confirmed that they went a

86
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>little off the deep end there. So what's crazy, though,

87
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 1>is have you seen anyone really covering it? The person

88
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>who's covering this whose article I'm reading is Andy No.

89
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, the dude who who Antifa hates more than

90
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>anything on earth? All right, so here we go. According

91
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>to according to Andy Knows reporting, Ophelia, the one who

92
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>ended up losing their life in the the shootout with police,

93
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>was connected to a violent trans militant cell or cult

94
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>centered around a person known as Zizz, which was both

95
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>their pronouns and apparently their cult name. Court filing suggests

96
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the armed trans duo involved in the attack was connected

97
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 1>to the Ziz cult and they the reason that they

98
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>were surveilling them was more so, it wasn't just a

99
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>stockpile of weapons. They were suspected in three homicides across

100
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the US, but they did not have enough to go

101
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in and arrest them. I'm sorry I'm skimming this because

102
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I literally just saw. I was only able to read

103
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>about half of it before the show started. Here we go.

104
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, So three murders and also the attempted murder

105
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>of an eighty two year old man Curty. Eighty two

106
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>year old artist lind of Vallejo, California, survived an assassination

107
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>attempt on his life when members of the ziz Trans

108
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>terror group impaled him with a sword, took one of

109
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 1>his eyes out. After the he was their landlord. He

110
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>he was evicting them because you know, they decided they

111
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>were going to go ahead and not pay any money

112
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 1>for the place. And at the time he actually thankfully

113
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>had a firearm and he took out one of the

114
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>cult members. This this thing is just wild. Man. It

115
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>impaled him with a sword as in a ritualistic fashion.

116
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>How he was able to get a shot off, I

117
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know, all right, So the the Yeah, a cult

118
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 1>member by the name of amer Emma Borhanian was killed

119
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>at the time. Oh wow. The Texas House lg who

120
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a Texas resident. The Texas House LGBTQ Caucus

121
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 1>honored Borhanian even though he died in the process of

122
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to murder the eighty two year old ritualistically with

123
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>a sword and in fact it GoFundMe raised tens of

124
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>thousands of dollars for Bohanian's family. I'm not gonna be

125
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>able to get to all of this. Here's what I'm

126
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna do this. There is a giant thread that no

127
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>put together. I am retweeting it right now. All right,

128
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>so it is reposted. If you go to at CAC

129
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>on the radio on Twitter, you can you can go

130
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>down this rabbit hole will I'm going to continue to

131
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>do it during breaks. But that's about as far as

132
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I got. So the crazy's not over, man. You know,

133
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>some dude literally yesterday went to the mall with molotov

134
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>cocktails to go kill the new Treasury Secord Jerry, right,

135
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Which that's an instant hate crime, right because he's gay,

136
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 1>isn't That's how it works, right, just wondering because I

137
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I was, I was reliably informed. That's how that's how

138
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>this works. So and in fact, the suspect in that case,

139
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>according to authorities, initially was going to kill Pete hegg

140
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Seth and then for whatever reason, uh did the old

141
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 1>switcheroo over to to actually know hold on, let me uh,

142
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>let me read this. Yeah, so it was gonna go, yeah,

143
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna go kill Pete hegg Seth and I

144
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I guess that didn't work out. Then was

145
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna go kill Mike Johnson and then decided to kill

146
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Treasury Secretary Scott Descent that according to NBC News, by

147
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the way, before any of you, oh, you don't know

148
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna do, well, that's what they're reporting. So and

149
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>if those are the people you trust, there you go, yeah,

150
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to go instan hate crime. I

151
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 1>gotta think I gotta think the Justice Department is going

152
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to go throw everything they add. The question will be

153
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 1>a kind of judge do they get if they get

154
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>some moon bad judge? And I don't even know how

155
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that rolls out. So there you go a little fun

156
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>and for volity to start your day. There is another

157
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 1>thing we're gonna have to do. I'm gonna have to

158
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>issue a correction on a story that we did yesterday,

159
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 1>because you know, that's what we do. And when when

160
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong about something you need to be forthright, you

161
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>generally need to do it around the same time or

162
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 1>in the same manner like This is always the criticism

163
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>of newspapers, you know, especially during the first Trump uh presidency,

164
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.639
<v Speaker 1>where they would write something and they would it would

165
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>be splashed on the front page and it would be

166
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>incredibly wrong. And then, you know, like two weeks of

167
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 1>feet dragon later, they put it in you know, second

168
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>for six or something of the paper and everybody knew

169
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>what was up. No, you got to do it in

170
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the same manner that you did it, so that you

171
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:11.519
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you're correcting this in front of people.

172
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And I messed up yesterday on the story of the

173
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 1>of the lift driver that was fired. Now, if you

174
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>don't remember this story, there was a woman, a rather

175
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>large woman, who was videoing this this whole situation where

176
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>she had called a lift and the lift driver refused

177
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to let her in the car she called a regular lift,

178
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 1>and I pointed out that she was six hundred pounds.

179
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Well we know more today. One she's a rapper from Detroit,

180
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 1>which I did not know, So I apologize for leaving

181
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 1>that out. I didn't know she was famous. Also, when

182
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I said that type TUPAC was six hundred pounds, she's

183
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>only five hundred pounds according to her own attorney. Now

184
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>you're probably wondering why Rose Malone has an attorney, and

185
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the reason is is because she's not just concerned with

186
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>getting the lift driver fired. No, No, heaviest d is

187
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>filing a lawsuit ensuing Lyft for a lot of money.

188
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.519
<v Speaker 1>And it was at this point I realized that triple

189
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>exhibit here was this is a shakedown and probably a

190
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>publicity stunt in my opinion. Okay, it's like it's too

191
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 1>instant coordinated. The video was running. She probably had encountered

192
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>something like this before and thought to herself, you know what,

193
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do this and when they show up, I'll

194
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 1>be filming, so I have all the evidence and then

195
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 1>we can go We can go ahead and and make

196
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 1>some money. But I had to correct it. So when

197
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I said yesterday that da Belly was six hundred pounds,

198
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 1>what I meant to say, according to her attorney, says,

199
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get sued because it's clear that

200
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Lardie b heres after some money. She's only five hundred

201
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 1>pounds and not six hundred and is a rapper, so

202
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, are bad or by bad ross. I don't

203
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 1>hang Ross into this in case the lawsuit comes. But

204
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.039
<v Speaker 1>that was that was my bad. So if asap Rocky

205
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Road here's this, I'm sorry you're still in my opinion

206
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 1>doing a shakedown and this was coordinated and it's it's

207
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 1>been and you literally cost this dude his or at

208
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>least part of his livelihood. And Lyft should be ashamed

209
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of themselves because they know. Look, their lawyers are sitting

210
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.159
<v Speaker 1>in the back and they understand that heaviest d is

211
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 1>shaking them down. So if like they realize it, then

212
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe Lyft should uh fix this and not let Jacola win. Okay,

213
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>all right, we got that. I know what you say.

214
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>You say, Casey, is there no parody with a little

215
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 1>in front? And I would say little Plump would work too,

216
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 1>or John in the east Side boys, little John, We'll

217
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>be back phone number eight eight eight nine three four

218
00:15:53.759 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 1>seven eight seven four. Wait where do we want to start? Well, well, Ross,

219
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you put it very succinctly just a moment

220
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>ago when we were chatting. It's pretty clear to people

221
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>with eyes and the ability to reason that whatever you

222
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>give Hamas, no matter how benign or non weapony, it

223
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 1>is seemingly their first thing is to sit in a

224
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>room with the think tank and go, how can we

225
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 1>weaponize this to kill Jews? Case in point, prophylactics man,

226
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 1>this story, Oh, my this story because at first, if

227
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 1>you're just hearing about it and it's not a news story,

228
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>but when you first hear about it, the outrage lies

229
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>with the idea, well, let's go ahead and actually hear

230
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.559
<v Speaker 1>from the new White House Press Secretary, Miss Levitt, who

231
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought did a great job yesterday. Is we got

232
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of cuts from her. Yesterday was her first

233
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>one and she's standing up there. There was there was

234
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple little jitters at the beginning. I think I

235
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>would have been far worse. This isn't even a criticism

236
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>because now you're there. Now, if you're in the world

237
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 1>of pr and communications, you are in the number one

238
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>job in the world. If there's anything bigger than that,

239
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is. And you're staring and

240
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 1>and you're staring at a room full of people who

241
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 1>the majority of which hate you, and over however long

242
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 1>your tenure is, we'll spend every waking moment trying to

243
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 1>get you, trying to confuse you, trying to catch you

244
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>off guard. And what I was really impressed with is

245
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a knock on mcanany Levitt didn't have a

246
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>binder in front of her, and yet as you'll come

247
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 1>to find out if you play these cuts. She knew

248
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:04.480
<v Speaker 1>all of her stuff, and she knew everybody's name. She

249
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>knew everybody's name, which means she studied that chart. Now

250
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 1>granted she's she's been in it, so she knows a

251
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.799
<v Speaker 1>lot of these folks. But she doesn't know everybody in

252
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that room. But she knew everybody in that room, and

253
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 1>she knew all the information top of her head. That's

254
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 1>wildly impressive. Think about how it is for Russ. Name

255
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:31.039
<v Speaker 1>all of our salespeople. Go ahead, name all we have.

256
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 2>We have salespeople.

257
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.319
<v Speaker 1>This is my point.

258
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 2>There's Tim, who had been with the company forever, good

259
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 2>old Tim. Yeah, there's John.

260
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>There's even a Johnny Greens.

261
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Think we have a Jeff?

262
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh is that JT's name? Is that who he's in programming? Okay,

263
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>this is my point. Right, you probably don't even know

264
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone you work with, if you have more than five

265
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 1>people at your company, if anybody's new, because look, here's

266
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the deal. How many of you work in the thing

267
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>where you got to give it about six months to

268
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>see if you'll decide to remember their name. It's for

269
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone's own good because you know, breakups are hard to do,

270
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, selling radio can be a tough job.

271
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Some people excel immediately at it and some don't. Some people,

272
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, just doesn't work out. So so watching her

273
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 1>go through that room and know everybody that was that

274
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.519
<v Speaker 1>was very impressive. But let's get to the let's get

275
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to the rubbers, shall we.

276
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Just during this pause a Doge and Omb have actually

277
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 3>found that there was thirty seven million dollars that was

278
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 3>about to go out the door to the World Health Organization,

279
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 3>which is an organization as you all know, that President Trump,

280
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 3>with the swipe of his pen in that executive order,

281
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:56.960
<v Speaker 3>is no longer wants the United States to be a

282
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 3>part of so that wouldn't be in line with the

283
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 3>president's agenda. Doj and Omb also found that there was

284
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:05.079
<v Speaker 3>about to be fifty million taxpayer dollars that went out

285
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.240
<v Speaker 3>the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a

286
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 3>preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that's what this pause

287
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 3>is focused on, being good stewards.

288
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 4>Of tax dollar.

289
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>So you what you first think is that's just misguided

290
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>health blah blah blah whatever, But it doesn't account for

291
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the reality on the ground because rather than using the

292
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>prophylactics to avoid making New Hamas members, which in that

293
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>at that point you could at least attempt to argue

294
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's an investment. That's not what they were

295
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>using them for. No, no, no, they were turning them

296
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:50.599
<v Speaker 1>into flaming aerial Molotov cocktails and floating them into Israel,

297
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.559
<v Speaker 1>which is which is really ingenious actually, right because obviously

298
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the iron dome there is is look for missiles and stuff,

299
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 1>like they're not looking for hundreds of flaming condoms.

300
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Like they remind me of like I had this buddy, right,

301
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 2>I think we all had that one buddy who when

302
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 2>we were younger, they could turn anything into a bong. Yeah,

303
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Like whatever you give them, they're like, I'm going to

304
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 2>turn that into a bom gonna smoke out of that thing.

305
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you send over there, whatever it is, they're be like,

306
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>how can we use this to kill Jews?

307
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? And and and it's like, you know, it's one

308
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of those things where they like they bust some dude

309
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.440
<v Speaker 1>who's run who's like really really good at business, running

310
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.079
<v Speaker 1>a drug empire, and it's like, bro, you're so good

311
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:35.279
<v Speaker 1>at business, like you could be legit. What are you

312
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>doing so. Like, if if you're able to literally mastercraft

313
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 1>anything they send you so you can kill Jews, you

314
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>probably should start a tech startup or something, right, but

315
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 1>not one that makes things to kill Jews. One that

316
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 1>makes people's lives better. I don't know, just a thought,

317
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>because you're good at tinkering.

318
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but then they couldn't killed Jews.

319
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, and that is the rub for them.

320
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I understand that. But you know, maybe they make some

321
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>money and then donate it to people to kill Jews.

322
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, there's not a you know, there's a

323
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, so, and I'm looking at pictures of these things,

324
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>so you're going all the way, are they filling the causs? No,

325
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 1>they're using the condoms essentially as balloons, and then under

326
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 1>them you have the you know, the little bomby explodey thing.

327
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm very technical, so you may not be able to

328
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 1>keep up. But yeah, this headline flaming condoms newest threat

329
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.079
<v Speaker 1>to Southern Israel.

330
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 2>And after I've seen I saw elon Musk post this

331
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 2>last night. After reading the headline and seeing that it

332
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 2>was from the Jerusalem Post, I'm like, I remember us

333
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>talking about this during COVID because it was in twenty twenty.

334
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>It was in twenty twenty when the Jerusalem Post did it.

335
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's the other thing too, So they've no let's

336
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 1>say that they found out only on the day this

337
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>article was published, which I don't believe, right, because obviously

338
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>our intelligen is co mingled with with with Israel because

339
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 1>they're they're one of the eyes. Let's say. But let's

340
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 1>say the US government only found out when the Jerusalem

341
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Post ran this article in twenty twenty, how is there

342
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 1>still a budget to send all of these condoms five

343
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 1>years later, or even if it was the end of

344
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 1>the year four years later, because you're like, well, why

345
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't use them in the in the budoir They

346
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 1>used them to as to kill the Jews or attempt

347
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 1>to Here we go. Jerusalem Post reported in twenty twenty

348
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the scores of condoms were being used to create ied

349
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 1>carrying balloons that wins would carry into southern Israel, which

350
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 1>would cause you know, school yards, farmers, basically anyone who's

351
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>outside at that point, you know how they do the alarms.

352
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Everybody runs to stuff. Well they see these things coming

353
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 1>over and it shuts down whatever's going on, and they

354
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 1>knew about it, and they still had a byline in there.

355
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>The unraveling, the absolute unraveling of all of these programs,

356
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>all of these non governmental organizations. I posted this yesterday

357
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and I saw others have arrived at the same conclusion.

358
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's it's very clear because there's so much

359
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 1>of this, and there's all these little one off organizations

360
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 1>that all do really kind of weird stuff that all

361
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:35.559
<v Speaker 1>were funded, all were getting money, and uh the term

362
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 1>to best describe it is moonbat basic income minimum basic income. Right.

363
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 1>So if if you are an absolute soldier for the woke,

364
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.640
<v Speaker 1>all this wokeism, and you went you got a garbage

365
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>degree right in uh I one of the one of

366
00:24:52.759 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 1>the non traditional humanities, and you're you're you're an activist.

367
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>They made sure you weren't without a job, man, you

368
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 1>would have some basically no show thing working for this

369
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>non governmental organization which somehow got a contract to go ahead.

370
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>And we'll get into some of the lists here, but

371
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.079
<v Speaker 1>just do stuff that no taxpayer really wants to pay for.

372
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're going after right now. They're going to

373
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>go one by one through these during the pause and

374
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 1>go no not doing this, No, we're not doing this,

375
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and people who are arguing that that's not within the

376
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:41.759
<v Speaker 1>purview of the executive branch aren't necessarily accurate as not

377
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 1>as we understand it. And I can prove this because

378
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>California got sued for taking dollars and adopting the broadest

379
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>definition for viable use. And it was and it went

380
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 1>all the way up to the night was Night Circuit

381
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:02.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever the one over there in California is. And of

382
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 1>course they're like, no, look if it had the word

383
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 1>green in it, and even if it said green port stuff,

384
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 1>this is what the lawsuit was about. It's still only

385
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 1>you could earmark basically all the money for green stuff

386
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>because somebody put in there that this is to promote

387
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 1>green projects. So now you're getting the It wasn't meant

388
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that way. It was meant to do things like maybe

389
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 1>open some additional shipping some you know, they get some

390
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.279
<v Speaker 1>crane so you can unload ships faster, because we were

391
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>having all these supply chain issues. And they just said no,

392
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and so they took the money and they didn't expand

393
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 1>any of the capacity. They just swapped out you know,

394
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 1>old style fossil fuel trucks for green trucks which then

395
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 1>plug in to power that's created through fossil fuels. Sheer

396
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 1>insanity man, So no, not necessarily, and if it needs

397
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to be changed at the congressional level, Congress can do this,

398
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's not. If it's not new spending, they don't

399
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 1>need sixty votes in the Senate, and the House is

400
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a simple majority there as would be the Senate. So

401
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.039
<v Speaker 1>they're saying one thing which could be partially accurate, but

402
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:19.039
<v Speaker 1>also quickly overcome, so long as they can rally it,

403
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 1>because if they want to go one by one, it

404
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 1>will take a very long time. So what likely will

405
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.039
<v Speaker 1>happen is they'll cut or redirect funds to of these

406
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 1>insane things, which are nothing more than welfare for moon

407
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.640
<v Speaker 1>bats that they can call on immediately, right they can

408
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>get them. These are the experts that sign things. These

409
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 1>are their soldiers, and they can go through and really

410
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 1>try to weaponize this. But what they're going to be

411
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 1>staring at if there actually has to be legislation, is

412
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a list of programs like the one with the condoms,

413
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and then they're going to have to go out and

414
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.119
<v Speaker 1>defend them, and they will misconstrue what they are. They'll

415
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>say that they're trying to get. They're trying to they're

416
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 1>taking away STD prevention is how they'll word that one.

417
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, Johnny doesn't pay attention, sitting there

418
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 1>on his couch with his idiot wife going, can you

419
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 1>believe that the Republicans want people to get the aids?

420
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 1>They're evil? Mark my words, that's the path we're on.

421
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>So I have seen steely resolve thus far within the

422
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 1>new administration, and that's what it's gonna take, because they're

423
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>going to accuse you of everything from trying to kill

424
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Nana to uh wanting babies to get cancer? Right, remember that,

425
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 1>you remember that with the Continuing Resolution, even though there

426
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>had been a standalone bill to fund infant cancer research

427
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats would not allow, they didn't allow out of

428
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a committee, and then when it was in this omnibus

429
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>bill with everything else, then they're like, do you see

430
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that they want to they want babies to die of cancer.

431
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And then that same idiot on his couch, oh, let

432
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>me send you ten dollars only to have Act Blues

433
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>say I donated seven hundred times ten thousand dollars. That's

434
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 1>another scan. All of this is absolutely scandalous and That's

435
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>why they're gonna fight so hard, because this is the fallback.

436
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 1>This is your reward for being a good soldier, going out,

437
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>gluing yourself to stuff when necessary, showing up every now

438
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and then one of you flips out, hides in the

439
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>bushes to shoot Trump and your whole racket. If they

440
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>are successful, here is done. You're all out of a job.

441
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 1>This is literally what Barack. Remember when Barack Obama said

442
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that Isis's problem was they didn't have jobs, he wasn't

443
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 1>a thousand percent wrong, right, Because if you're when the

444
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 1>terrorist organizations lean heavily into the hopelessness, because it's you

445
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 1>can tell people that the reason they're poor and the

446
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 1>reason that they don't have opportunity is not because the

447
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 1>leaders of Hamas are stealing all of it and living

448
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 1>in giant London mansions or in Qatar. Before they throw

449
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:20.000
<v Speaker 1>them out, they tell them it's because the Jews did it,

450
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 1>or the US did it, or the West did it,

451
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 1>or whoever it is. And it's easier to weaponize those people.

452
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 1>So you're about to have a bunch of the hardest

453
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>core leftist activists who's who just had this spigot turned

454
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>off the money ain't flowing no more, and frankly, their

455
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>ideology and the things that they were advocating for have

456
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 1>fallen out of style with Americans. Ten years ago, a

457
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.240
<v Speaker 1>third of the country supported mass deportations. The number now

458
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:55.039
<v Speaker 1>in every single poll I've seen is over fifty percent,

459
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.279
<v Speaker 1>and the majority are in the high fifties low sixties.

460
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Is done. And so much of this money also is

461
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 1>attached to a lot of these These the immigration, migration,

462
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration, you name it, organizations whose sole thing was

463
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 1>to advocate. These are the folks who were printing guides

464
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and arming people with literally what to say. They don't

465
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 1>even speak the language, and they were arming them with, say,

466
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.839
<v Speaker 1>telling I fear for my safety because and then you pick,

467
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, pick one of the reasons. And at that point,

468
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:34.519
<v Speaker 1>oh well, if you fear for your safety, here you go,

469
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>well what are you talking about? Those are the groups

470
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.519
<v Speaker 1>that we're talking about. These are the groups that were

471
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 1>moving them around the country, making it that much harder,

472
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>under the cover of oh, we're just you know, we're

473
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 1>being helpful, and yeah, there's some religious organizations tied into

474
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. It's gonna get messy. But what do you think,

475
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.839
<v Speaker 1>what do you think a million unemployed, hardcore, pink haired,

476
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 1>bull ring in the nose leftists. And I understand that

477
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm generalizing. I'm stereotyping here, but am I, what do

478
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you think they're gonna do? You don't think they're gonna

479
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>throw on some ANTIFA gear and h and fire away

480
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>because now it's not government money necessarily, it's a bunch

481
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 1>of rich lunatics who fund this stuff. I don't want

482
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to be that guy. But if they're successful in purging

483
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this, then there's going to be violence,

484
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 1>and I don't celebrate that. But am I go ahead

485
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.839
<v Speaker 1>explain to me how my logic is wrong. This is

486
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the realization I sat there and pondered and thought about

487
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and then I'm like, damn it. And then I

488
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 1>went and made myself some dinner, and I'm thinking, I'm like,

489
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna the mostly peaceful summer if they're successful and

490
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.119
<v Speaker 1>fast tracking this, where are those people gonna go? If

491
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 1>not to the streets to attack people? So some scary

492
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.039
<v Speaker 1>times could be out there, and I don't want it,

493
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 1>not for a minute. But it's also not Republican's fault.

494
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Some of it mightea is I'm sure there's some NGOs

495
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 1>in there that are purely on them. But no, no, no, no,

496
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.519
<v Speaker 1>this is what Democrats have wrought, much as I explained

497
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.039
<v Speaker 1>with illegal immigration yesterday. This is dangerous stuff and it's

498
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.319
<v Speaker 1>there doing. We'll be back. Oh number eight eight eight

499
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>nine three four seven eight seven four coming up on

500
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:45.960
<v Speaker 1>this show. Oh that's interesting, huh, weirdness there. So Ross,

501
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I was typing into Google NC auditor because I always

502
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>had I go and make I want to check a

503
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 1>bio if we have a guest coming up, because the

504
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>new state auditor is coming on. Do you know? Would

505
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 1>you do this? Will you pop Google open on your

506
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.599
<v Speaker 1>computer please? I want you to type NC space au

507
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I've gotten that far, and tell me what your predictive

508
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.639
<v Speaker 1>search results say, the ones that where the little thing

509
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:11.280
<v Speaker 1>drops down and you can click so you don't have

510
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 1>to finish typing. So I'm typing to get Bullock our

511
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>state auditors bio, just so I have it in front

512
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of me because he's going to be joining us at

513
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 1>eight oh five. So as I start typing this, it

514
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 1>gives me NC auditor, which is good. That's what I'm

515
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 1>going to type. And then on the predictive it has

516
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Beth Wood. Okay, she was auditor for a long time.

517
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:39.800
<v Speaker 1>She's probably in there NC Auto Repair. I guess you

518
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.599
<v Speaker 1>could go there and then it says NC Auditor Jessica Holmes.

519
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Now mine is completely different.

520
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, because here's the thing. All right, so

521
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 1>does it have Bullock in there?

522
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:57.199
<v Speaker 2>No, it goes NC State Auditor candidates, race, election, salary jobs, engineering.

523
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's weird, interesting, Okay. Anyway, Yeah, so that's my

524
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>long way of saying that Dave Bullack will join us. Now,

525
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 1>why am I having Davon so we can talk auditing

526
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.159
<v Speaker 1>or monster trucking the cars with state cars? No? No, no,

527
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 1>although jokes will probably be made. Bullock is one of

528
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.559
<v Speaker 1>two Council of State office holders who decided to purge

529
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 1>openly announce the purging of DEI from his office. So

530
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? I don't know what it means.

531
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously the otter's office isn't gigantic, but what

532
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:39.039
<v Speaker 1>does that look like? And also what do you do

533
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 1>when people are trying to actively skirt stuff. I'm sure

534
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.039
<v Speaker 1>you've seen all of these side by side photos that

535
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:50.480
<v Speaker 1>have emerged where it's like where the title is, you know,

536
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a vice president of a diversity, Equity and Inclusion and

537
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden last week their title on

538
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the government website is just some generic thing which really

539
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.159
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean anything where they're clearly trying to hide what

540
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 1>they do. So and by the way, as they get busted,

541
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 1>they'll get purged. And if you're mad, I don't know

542
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:18.119
<v Speaker 1>if you saw what Trump did, dude, I'm sorry. This

543
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.440
<v Speaker 1>is this is funny. And I know people like, oh,

544
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:25.119
<v Speaker 1>these are people's lives. I understand that, but who knows

545
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:31.800
<v Speaker 1>better than anyone what the actual the ability to do

546
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.280
<v Speaker 1>For those of us who work in the private sector,

547
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Our staffing looks nothing like it looked like five years ago,

548
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago, fifteen years ago, unless I guess you're

549
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in a startup that's rapidly growing. But even in those cases,

550
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.360
<v Speaker 1>look at what look at what Elon Musk did with Twitter.

551
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>He has what twenty five percent of the original workforce.

552
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:58.360
<v Speaker 1>It's some crazy low number, between thirty and twenty percent,

553
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:03.119
<v Speaker 1>And there's eighty twenty rule. I'm not if you've ever

554
00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.760
<v Speaker 1>heard of this, and it really goes to twenty percent

555
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>of the people are going to do about eighty percent

556
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.239
<v Speaker 1>of the eighty percent of the work. It's I'm probably

557
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 1>misdescribing it, but basically, you get yourself into a big,

558
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:21.679
<v Speaker 1>bloated corporation and especially a bloated governmental organization, and it's

559
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>it's very clear that you can trim some of that fat.

560
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>You can trim some of that fat. And there's countless

561
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:35.320
<v Speaker 1>stories where you know, people who who have worked there say,

562
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.599
<v Speaker 1>you know what was crazy is we could have we

563
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>could we could do this thing with half the staff

564
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.400
<v Speaker 1>here because we're literally told by our bosses to work

565
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:52.440
<v Speaker 1>slower or they create intentional slowdowns. So there's never really

566
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the highest of expectations. And if you ever get put

567
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 1>in a position where you need to up your productivity,

568
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.119
<v Speaker 1>let's say your goals are five percent, it's easy to

569
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 1>do that because you have artificially low numbers. What is this.

570
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 5>All?

571
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 4>Right?

572
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, so I'll deal with this in a moment.

573
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:23.800
<v Speaker 1>So what Trump did yesterday going around is he offered buyouts.

574
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:28.559
<v Speaker 1>So if you're sitting there and you realize you work

575
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:33.159
<v Speaker 1>in a department where not much is accomplished, or you

576
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 1>don't like who's in charge now, or any of the rest,

577
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 1>rather than just getting fired or sidelined or whatever, it

578
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>is they're offering a buyout. Now, the buyouts are different

579
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>depending on what you do, length a variety of things.

580
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And all you have to do, and this is what

581
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:53.800
<v Speaker 1>made me laugh, open up your email of your government

582
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>account and send to that. There's an HR address for

583
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:01.079
<v Speaker 1>the federal government and just you don't have to write

584
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>anything in the body of the email. You can just

585
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:09.280
<v Speaker 1>write the word resign and the butt. Okay, So this

586
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:12.199
<v Speaker 1>is what Ross is literally emailing me. It says free

587
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:18.920
<v Speaker 1>day off today in the subject line, and then he

588
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 1>added the emphasis thing the stupid Now it's on my

589
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.519
<v Speaker 1>iPhone and it's the thing where the word shows up

590
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and then it goes big free hard. But you can't

591
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 1>will you can't will this into exist. What are you

592
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:36.599
<v Speaker 1>a TikToker? Where you're what is it the word they

593
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>use manifest? You manifest? You're not manifesting stuff in a

594
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>single line and sending it to me doesn't do any good.

595
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.199
<v Speaker 1>You got to send it to Bob Pittman or Travor

596
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>or you know one of the people.

597
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Who have pull man.

598
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's legal now, it's not in the Are you a

599
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:58.400
<v Speaker 1>federal government worker? Are you a federal You can't write

600
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>resign today back to tomorrow. That doesn't that's not how

601
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>resigning works either.

602
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm not I'm not a lawyer.

603
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I know you're not a lawyer, but I at.

604
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>One point did consider becoming a pair of legal, which

605
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe is more powerful than a lawyer.

606
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Did you was this roughly when you were working evening

607
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.960
<v Speaker 1>so you had to watch TV during the middle of

608
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the day when they have all the divrye commercials. Okay,

609
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>almost got you? Did that?

610
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>A paradonnist is like a super dentist, a pairalegal.

611
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no no no. Those are a

612
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>lawyer and a dnnist that are in a wheelchair. So

613
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he obviously doesn't know what words mean. So I can

614
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:58.599
<v Speaker 1>just say this, I'm gonna turn that off. There we go.

615
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Let me know, by the way, if any of that

616
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>pants out, so I can send my own demands. Okay,

617
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.079
<v Speaker 1>would SAYE, I can see s type is. I don't

618
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. I'm going to close this down.

619
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:16.599
<v Speaker 1>H So anyway, yeah, if you're so, if you're a

620
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:21.599
<v Speaker 1>federal employee, always making the word go big again, by

621
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, I could for much just a moment. If

622
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.599
<v Speaker 1>if Ross's goal was to distract he's just accomplished this.

623
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Whoever designed the new emphasis way that the iPhone works

624
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:37.239
<v Speaker 1>with the messaging system where if you just hold the

625
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.199
<v Speaker 1>button for a split second too long and move your

626
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:42.719
<v Speaker 1>finger to the right, it takes everything you just wrote

627
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 1>and adds the emphasis whatever it is to choose from.

628
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:48.239
<v Speaker 1>So you have to delete all of it. And the

629
00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:51.199
<v Speaker 1>person who redesigned the photo apps, which I don't have

630
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of photos. I don't really take photos, but

631
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:54.599
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of screenshots that I use for

632
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Twitter posts and stuff. Resign. Send an email to Tim

633
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Cook and yeah, okay.

634
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, the the the the photos app is so bad.

635
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:05.800
<v Speaker 2>It's so bad.

636
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.559
<v Speaker 1>I only need two things, and I need the screenshot

637
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 1>I just took right because I take it and I

638
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:13.559
<v Speaker 1>may want to edit it so I can pop it

639
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:19.679
<v Speaker 1>into the Twitter and then my memes folder, and I have,

640
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean really every that's almost everything on my phone

641
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is stupid memes. There's a there are some photos that

642
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I've obviously taken for myself. Most of its social media stuff,

643
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's not me. It's not like your wife's cell phone,

644
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.639
<v Speaker 1>which is her in front of everything while you take it. Okay,

645
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about Ross's wife and Joe. Maybe that is.

646
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:38.679
<v Speaker 1>But does your wife have a lot more photos than

647
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:41.679
<v Speaker 1>you should? Probably done tons of them? Yes, yeah, okay,

648
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.519
<v Speaker 1>all right, so now you've made it. If I want

649
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to go to my meme folder, you know how far

650
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to scroll on that damn thing, And it

651
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:51.239
<v Speaker 1>used to be I just hit the drop down and boom,

652
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.079
<v Speaker 1>there it is, and I put a little asterisk in

653
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:55.400
<v Speaker 1>front of it so it would populate first on the thing.

654
00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Now it's all the way at the bottom. Who are you? What? What? What? Demon?

655
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's the Ouiji board demon from the story we

656
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:07.079
<v Speaker 1>coming up? Who decided to do that? Send Tim Cook

657
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>an email resign or I'm gonna have elon fire you

658
00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:15.800
<v Speaker 1>into the sun. Okay? So annoying? All right? Eight eight

659
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 1>eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So there's

660
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.719
<v Speaker 1>so much craziness. Tell you what, Let's do this. We'll

661
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:27.760
<v Speaker 1>do a rundown of the first White House press briefing

662
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:34.119
<v Speaker 1>with a new press officer, Ms. Levitt. I thought it

663
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>went great. There's a lot of interesting stuff. We got

664
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:41.679
<v Speaker 1>drones and press credentials, all sorts of goodies. And I

665
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:47.039
<v Speaker 1>think this woman who appears to be insane, although I

666
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:50.199
<v Speaker 1>have seen people who are very much on the religious

667
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.519
<v Speaker 1>side that this may be. I think her husband is

668
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 1>just a genius. Videos making the rounds, you know, some

669
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.159
<v Speaker 1>of them political, some of them not, some of them

670
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:05.159
<v Speaker 1>just like Carnival sideshow. That's the thing, like the side

671
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.559
<v Speaker 1>shows of the twenties with the people with the deformed

672
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:13.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever or the beard or you name it, like that

673
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:17.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't go away. That's just it's just digital. Now. That's

674
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:19.280
<v Speaker 1>what we get on the internet for some people, just

675
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.920
<v Speaker 1>swimming it all day and I guess maybe it makes

676
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:30.400
<v Speaker 1>them feel better whatever. So that being said right now,

677
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and then I get drug over. So I saw this

678
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:35.440
<v Speaker 1>one going around to this lady with a pile of

679
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:37.639
<v Speaker 1>notebooks and a Ouiji board and I'm like, I am

680
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.199
<v Speaker 1>clicking on this. She looks backcrap crazy, And then I

681
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.480
<v Speaker 1>started watching it. I'm a play some for you will

682
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 1>retweet it so you can stare in awe on your own.

683
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:50.199
<v Speaker 1>But here we go.

684
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.039
<v Speaker 4>The state of the world right now. I feel compelled

685
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:57.039
<v Speaker 4>to share with TikTok something I don't talk about very often,

686
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 4>that because it makes me sound insane and I don't

687
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.079
<v Speaker 4>know if it's real or not or what it is.

688
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:06.880
<v Speaker 4>But basically since twenty thirteen, me and my husband have

689
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.840
<v Speaker 4>essentially been talking to some thing on a Ouiji board.

690
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:13.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, and I want to point out my first

691
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 1>initial thought, and Ross you can tell me what you think.

692
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:18.039
<v Speaker 1>My first thing is. I just assume this is going

693
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to be all a setup, right, all fake. But like

694
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.599
<v Speaker 1>if it is, the amount of work they put into

695
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 1>those notebooks and stuff, and she doesn't sound like she's

696
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:33.480
<v Speaker 1>act I don't even know how to describe it. So again,

697
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It could be all fake. The Internet's

698
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>full of that crap. But also I have another theory,

699
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>so let's continue. Oh and it's about the end of

700
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the world, so you're gonna want to pay attention.

701
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Goes by the name of seven, who has been telling

702
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.880
<v Speaker 4>us that the world is going to end May twenty seven,

703
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty five. And I have pages and pages and

704
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:57.400
<v Speaker 4>pages of our correspondence with this thing, like pages and

705
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:01.960
<v Speaker 4>pages and pages, and I have it here raw, just

706
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:03.639
<v Speaker 4>what I've written down, and I have it on Google

707
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:06.039
<v Speaker 4>docs and Google docs. It comes out to like eighty

708
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:06.920
<v Speaker 4>some pages.

709
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, a couple things when the Google docs could be

710
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.079
<v Speaker 1>a I generate Again, I try to poke holes in

711
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:16.559
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. And I know what you're saying. That sounds crazy,

712
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:19.440
<v Speaker 1>but is she any less crazy than those weird scientists

713
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:21.840
<v Speaker 1>with their doomsday clock that we had to see yesterday.

714
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Ross Alcohut went away eighty nine seconds, right.

715
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:29.559
<v Speaker 2>And the people are so annoying, and they're also annoying.

716
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.639
<v Speaker 1>There's always every picture they post every year, are is

717
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the picture of the most boring people you've ever seen.

718
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:37.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's there super imaginary, made up clock based on

719
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.880
<v Speaker 2>nothing to scare people. And it's just like, oh, well

720
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.440
<v Speaker 2>there's a Republican in office now, so oh you gotta

721
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:44.880
<v Speaker 2>be afraid. And we pushed the clock up ten seconds now,

722
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:46.800
<v Speaker 2>but like if Biden gets in there, like, whoa, we're

723
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.079
<v Speaker 2>going to push the clock back a ten seconds? Come on?

724
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And especially like here's how you know that their

725
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:57.159
<v Speaker 1>whole their algorithm is broken. You know, this guy this

726
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.199
<v Speaker 1>first four years was the last president in moder in

727
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 1>history to not start a conflict. So arguably, arguably your

728
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:09.239
<v Speaker 1>clock should go back. So we know it's busted. Ross

729
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:11.440
<v Speaker 1>wants his own clock to scare people too, so don't

730
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>let him fool you. So he's been making predictions. But anyway,

731
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:18.360
<v Speaker 1>so is that clock any more accurate than this Chickswuiji board.

732
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Let's find out.

733
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:21.679
<v Speaker 4>And I should purpose this by saying, hold.

734
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:23.840
<v Speaker 1>On, I am I not hearing audio there, hang on.

735
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 4>And I should purpose this by saying, well, that's.

736
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Great, it's plait.

737
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:34.199
<v Speaker 1>It's plain last night, I don't have any return on

738
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:35.119
<v Speaker 1>my button bar there.

739
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no reason for that, all right. So I

740
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 2>think Casey's feed just completely died. He's staring at me

741
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:58.679
<v Speaker 2>here through the we have like a George Zimmerman short

742
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.480
<v Speaker 2>of sort of camera here. We don't have a window

743
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:03.519
<v Speaker 2>because the company can't afford a window, and he's making

744
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:09.519
<v Speaker 2>these really panicky sort of what is happening now?

745
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

746
00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:14.159
<v Speaker 2>All right, we have completely crapped the bed. So I'm

747
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.280
<v Speaker 2>going to go to break and try to fix everything.

748
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back. It's the case you to a

749
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:20.159
<v Speaker 2>radio program, we hope.

750
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>All right. So I think the gut button bars fixed.

751
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I might have spazed out a little there. I apologize.

752
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>One of those days. In fact, poor race Ageic gets

753
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to stuff for the bront because he joins us, now,

754
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing there? Ray? Because normally would have

755
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:36.400
<v Speaker 1>gone to you after I was done with my audio

756
00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.079
<v Speaker 1>and then then I couldn't hear the audio, and then

757
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.039
<v Speaker 1>I hit the wrong button and your weatherbed play. Just

758
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:44.079
<v Speaker 1>it's been a morning. It happens.

759
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.280
<v Speaker 6>It happens, So make everything better, shall we? Yeah, we

760
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 6>will mild, but not even close to record warmth. For example,

761
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:56.360
<v Speaker 6>yesterday and Rowley sixty one, the record will stay at

762
00:48:56.360 --> 00:49:00.119
<v Speaker 6>seventy eight. That was in nineteen forty four Greensboro, so

763
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:03.280
<v Speaker 6>that's try at fifty nine. The record there also seventy eight,

764
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:08.119
<v Speaker 6>and that one also in nineteen forty four, so it's

765
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.519
<v Speaker 6>been warmer, but still we're near above sixty degrees as

766
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:14.360
<v Speaker 6>we head on through the coming days, Today most likely

767
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.760
<v Speaker 6>upper fifties, a lot of sunshine around Tomorrow partly Sunday

768
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:21.280
<v Speaker 6>lows will still be down close to freezing and augusty

769
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 6>breeze around, especially this afternoon the north northwest. And then

770
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.519
<v Speaker 6>as we get to Friday, still looks like the wet day,

771
00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:30.159
<v Speaker 6>maybe some decent rain, occasional rain and showers around, but

772
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.519
<v Speaker 6>the highs will be in the upper fifties to low sixties.

773
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:33.920
<v Speaker 6>And then the weekend is going to be great. We're

774
00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:36.760
<v Speaker 6>right near sixties we get into February, but the warmest

775
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.599
<v Speaker 6>days are yet to come early next week, low to

776
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:41.920
<v Speaker 6>maybe mid sixties Monday Tuesday and lots of sunshine. So

777
00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:44.920
<v Speaker 6>that should have made you feel better. Case see one

778
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:48.639
<v Speaker 6>rain day and then the ends the book ends today Thursday,

779
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 6>and then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. All looking great, feeling great.

780
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:56.480
<v Speaker 6>Pretty nice stretch here now of milder weather as our

781
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.360
<v Speaker 6>pattern kind of shifted now to a more maritime influence

782
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:00.400
<v Speaker 6>off the Pacific, more.

783
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Zonal west east.

784
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:04.000
<v Speaker 6>Blah blah blah. What that means is what you just heard,

785
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.440
<v Speaker 6>no chance of any wintery pre sip and above average

786
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.199
<v Speaker 6>temperatures at least over the next six to ten days.

787
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.079
<v Speaker 6>And I took a little peek further out it might

788
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:13.519
<v Speaker 6>last even longer.

789
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, you know why it's so great because

790
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.599
<v Speaker 1>you've taken beautiful weather and you've also aligned it with

791
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:22.960
<v Speaker 1>days people can play golf on usually and not exactly

792
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.800
<v Speaker 1>what they're stuck in the office. It's this very simple formula, man,

793
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:30.039
<v Speaker 1>it is it is one or two. But yeah, I

794
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:33.199
<v Speaker 1>love it. It'd be great. Yep, very good, thank you, sir,

795
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:35.800
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. There you go, race agic from the Weather Channel.

796
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.559
<v Speaker 1>All right, then I just almost threw to a break,

797
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:41.199
<v Speaker 1>which then would have caused Ross dispads out. But now

798
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:44.800
<v Speaker 1>we're taking this thing to the end at least of

799
00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.199
<v Speaker 1>this hour, and then we're gonna chat with State Auditor

800
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Dave Bollock. All right, So I don't know, maybe I

801
00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.360
<v Speaker 1>started talking about this Ouiji board and that's what happened.

802
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to be clear here too, Like a Wuiji

803
00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:02.599
<v Speaker 1>board is a tool, it's a conduit, but like it's

804
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:07.199
<v Speaker 1>the concept of opening oneself to something else.

805
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm being gonna be completely honest like Markey, and

806
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I won't allow them in our house. Like I've I've

807
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:13.840
<v Speaker 2>listened to enough George Norri where I know that that

808
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:14.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff is evil.

809
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I believe in any of the religious concept you know,

810
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the the specific religious doctrine, if you have any sense

811
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:25.440
<v Speaker 1>of spirituality about.

812
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.320
<v Speaker 2>You, correct, right, Because you're like, oh, well, it's just

813
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:29.679
<v Speaker 2>like a board produced in a factory and a stupid

814
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.440
<v Speaker 2>thing that goes on top of it and that. Yeah,

815
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:33.639
<v Speaker 2>but you're opening up yourself to that, to that energy,

816
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 2>and I won't Nope, Yeah, nope.

817
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Because let's say, let's say even none of it's real,

818
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.719
<v Speaker 1>but you're left unsettled by it, which clearly this woman

819
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:49.840
<v Speaker 1>is if, if it's real, how is that a positive

820
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:50.599
<v Speaker 1>experience for you?

821
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 5>Like?

822
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Why would you do something that is most likely just

823
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna make you feel really bad? Because she's she's talking

824
00:51:57.440 --> 00:51:58.679
<v Speaker 1>about doomsday man.

825
00:51:58.599 --> 00:52:03.039
<v Speaker 4>And I'm a normal person. My husband's a normal person.

826
00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:06.920
<v Speaker 4>We have jobs. We're not witches, we're not Satanists, we

827
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:11.440
<v Speaker 4>don't do stuff like this. We started this as for

828
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:15.239
<v Speaker 4>fun in twenty thirteen, July twenty thirteen, we had nothing

829
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:16.920
<v Speaker 4>else to do. We got on a wigi board for

830
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.599
<v Speaker 4>fun and it just kind of took off from there

831
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:23.519
<v Speaker 4>and we have continued to talk to it. And I

832
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.199
<v Speaker 4>should also say we are not We're not like super

833
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:29.920
<v Speaker 4>smart people, right, We're not like geniuses. But this thing

834
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:32.039
<v Speaker 4>kind of seems like it is. Let me show you.

835
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:35.800
<v Speaker 4>So it does stuff like speak in binary by speak,

836
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.679
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, it's giving us ones and zeros

837
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:41.039
<v Speaker 4>to write down on the Ouiji board. I'm recording this

838
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:44.159
<v Speaker 4>and in the moment we have no idea of what

839
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.199
<v Speaker 4>this means. We googled it later. This is again July

840
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:51.480
<v Speaker 4>twenty thirteen, and it turns out it's binary, but it's

841
00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 4>backwards binary, so in this way it meant nothing. But

842
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:57.719
<v Speaker 4>when we reverse the numbers it meant hello because it

843
00:52:57.719 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 4>does that a lot. It speaks backwards a lot.

844
00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, that dude, that's super weird. That is

845
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:04.760
<v Speaker 2>so weird.

846
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but here's the thing. You know that my probably

847
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:11.039
<v Speaker 1>my favorite genre of movies is I love horror movies.

848
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Love horror movies, man. And although I don't like necessarily,

849
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the slasher ones, give me some, give

850
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.519
<v Speaker 1>me some supernatural there, give me some of that anytime.

851
00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:26.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a gazillion Exorcist movies. Most of the things she

852
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:29.719
<v Speaker 1>talks about are in movies, including a reference to a

853
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:32.760
<v Speaker 1>demon called seven, talking about arch demons and stuff. But

854
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that's another thing. What were we gonna say? I'm sorry? Right?

855
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Like you like the suspense, right, not like the hostile

856
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:38.960
<v Speaker 2>type stuff.

857
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I like the movie Hostile, but for different reasons,

858
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean?

859
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, So it's it's either in a very very elaborate ruse,

860
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:51.519
<v Speaker 2>which is possible, or a demon coming through the Ouiji board.

861
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:52.960
<v Speaker 6>Or or.

862
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I did she like she didn't disclose everything the demon

863
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:04.760
<v Speaker 1>told her to do, Like maybe the demon convinced her

864
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:10.320
<v Speaker 1>to pretend it's her husband's birthday every day of the year.

865
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you kind of so you think the husband is

866
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:16.039
<v Speaker 2>like speaking backwards binary on the Ouiji board in other

867
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:17.039
<v Speaker 2>languages as well.

868
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, man, if if you're at if you want the prize,

869
00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:21.719
<v Speaker 1>you got to put in the work, So.

870
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Just do the dishes.

871
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Man, he's like, oh, how can I get this thing

872
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that I want? I'm gonna learn Samerian backwards?

873
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

874
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Right, Oh, why does it keep telling me to invite

875
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:40.360
<v Speaker 1>my sister over? What's up with that?

876
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:44.760
<v Speaker 4>So it speaks also in backwards languages that we don't speak.

877
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:47.360
<v Speaker 4>We don't speak it forwards, we don't speak it backwards.

878
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:50.280
<v Speaker 4>This is I believe it was Latin. I believe it

879
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:53.079
<v Speaker 4>means salutations or something like that. I have again, I

880
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:54.760
<v Speaker 4>have all the details in my Google doc.

881
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:57.880
<v Speaker 1>That's another By the way, I'm not going to play

882
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:02.519
<v Speaker 1>this whole cut here. This that's another trope man, where

883
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:05.079
<v Speaker 1>it's like, wait, you get one of these things and

884
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.360
<v Speaker 1>then the spirit from beyond is speaking, but they always

885
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:13.679
<v Speaker 1>sound like an upity nineteen hundred's englishman salutations, right, It's

886
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:15.039
<v Speaker 1>it's weird stuff. Weird.

887
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Just goes on to say contact two.

888
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:18.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's what I want. Let's get to the

889
00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:19.320
<v Speaker 1>end of the world.

890
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:23.119
<v Speaker 4>Shall we goes on to say Contact two succeeded eighteen thousand,

891
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:26.199
<v Speaker 4>five hundred and thirty four days ago, which was August.

892
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I think that's seventeenth, nineteen sixty two. I think that

893
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:32.199
<v Speaker 4>had something to do with JFK and the Bay of Pigs.

894
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:38.639
<v Speaker 4>We have JFK, but historically Contact three, that's US fails

895
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:41.840
<v Speaker 4>twenty nine thousand, one hundred and forty nine days after

896
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Contact one, four thousand, three hundred and twenty four days

897
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:50.159
<v Speaker 4>in your future, which is May twenty seventh, twenty twenty five.

898
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:54.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so all that to say that her Ouiji

899
00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:57.800
<v Speaker 1>board or her horny husband, it's going to be end

900
00:55:57.800 --> 00:55:58.199
<v Speaker 1>of May.

901
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:02.960
<v Speaker 2>So as believe as this all sounds right, the factor

902
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:05.159
<v Speaker 2>mains the Buffalo Bills are going to win the Super

903
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Bowl in twenty twenty six. So I don't believe anything

904
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:08.400
<v Speaker 2>she's saying.

905
00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, what it speaks backwards sixty two oh two.

906
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:20.239
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying we're gonna win one in sixty.

907
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Two oh two. Wait, all this tracks sixty two oh two.

908
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:31.039
<v Speaker 1>I think Josh Allen will still be playing man win

909
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:34.079
<v Speaker 1>win is a win. Yeah. What you guys need to

910
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:37.239
<v Speaker 1>do is UH is not playing playoff games. Where they

911
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:40.280
<v Speaker 1>have refs with X ray vision so I can see

912
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:44.280
<v Speaker 1>right through players. All right, I'm sorry. I wasn't gonna

913
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:46.960
<v Speaker 1>go here, it's too soon, but anyway, so yeah, the

914
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:49.320
<v Speaker 1>big old buckets are crazy there, man, I saw that

915
00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:52.719
<v Speaker 1>thing floating around. All right, here's some here's some non dema.

916
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Well maybe if you're if you're a hardcore progressive, you

917
00:56:56.119 --> 00:56:59.320
<v Speaker 1>think this is demonic. Watching Catherine Levitt the new White

918
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:02.400
<v Speaker 1>House Press sect Terry yesterday again thought she did a

919
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:05.960
<v Speaker 1>good job. She didn't have a binder in front of her,

920
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:09.599
<v Speaker 1>yet seemed to know everything that she wanted to say

921
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:13.159
<v Speaker 1>and anticipate the questions and numbers and you name it.

922
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Knew everybody's name, far more impressive than us. As we

923
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:19.559
<v Speaker 1>talked about earlier in the show. If you asked Ross

924
00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 1>and I to name all the salespeople, maybe Pry.

925
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Not.

926
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:28.519
<v Speaker 1>P not a, notother personal just you know, we've got

927
00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>multiple markets. These thing's happen, all right, So let's get

928
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 1>into it. And I really love that one of the

929
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.880
<v Speaker 1>first things she got into was the drones, the new

930
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Jersey drones. And this is crazy, man, because it begged

931
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:44.920
<v Speaker 1>several questions.

932
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Let's hear it first and before I turned to questions,

933
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:50.159
<v Speaker 3>I do have news directly from the President of the

934
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:53.039
<v Speaker 3>United States that was just shared with me in the

935
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:57.079
<v Speaker 3>Oval Office from President Trump directly an update on the

936
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:01.239
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey drones. After research, Instead of the drones that

937
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.599
<v Speaker 3>were flying over New Jersey and large numbers were authorized

938
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:08.920
<v Speaker 3>to be flown by the FAA for research and various

939
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:13.960
<v Speaker 3>other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational

940
00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:19.079
<v Speaker 3>and private individuals that enjoy flying Jones in meantime, In time,

941
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:21.119
<v Speaker 3>it got worse due to curiosity.

942
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:23.239
<v Speaker 2>This was not the enemy.

943
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Now the second part fully we predicted that on the

944
00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:29.719
<v Speaker 1>show one thousand percent. As people were seeing this, I'm like, no, Well,

945
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the other thing is this is, if the drones are

946
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a thing, a big chunk of the more recent drones

947
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have to be drone enthusiasts flying around to see what

948
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the drones are like. That was totally predictable. Got it

949
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.400
<v Speaker 1>or messing with their neighbors or whatever. But the first

950
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:51.320
<v Speaker 1>thing she said, those are FAA authorized and it's for

951
00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:57.360
<v Speaker 1>research purposes, which means the previous administration authorized those drones,

952
00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:03.079
<v Speaker 1>knew they were flying around and allowed panic to ensue

953
00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and then pretended like they didn't know. They could have

954
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:08.519
<v Speaker 1>just said, hey, it's a thing. And don't get me wrong,

955
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:14.039
<v Speaker 1>there are absolute legitimate reasons why the Federal U the

956
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:18.679
<v Speaker 1>US federal government would have an interest in drone technology usage,

957
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:22.599
<v Speaker 1>whether it is for as people talked about, locating a

958
00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:27.559
<v Speaker 1>dirty bomb, got it far more efficient in certain situations

959
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:29.360
<v Speaker 1>than some of the ways that we do it now,

960
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:34.199
<v Speaker 1>especially if you've got to get really close. Obviously you're

961
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:36.679
<v Speaker 1>seeing in Ukraine they just did you see they just

962
00:59:36.840 --> 00:59:40.440
<v Speaker 1>hit Russia's i think fourth most productive refinery. That was

963
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:45.039
<v Speaker 1>drones that did that. The whole thing is on fire still,

964
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:47.599
<v Speaker 1>so I've got it. But what the hell are you

965
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:50.639
<v Speaker 1>researching in New Jersey? You tell me you can't go

966
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:53.519
<v Speaker 1>out to you know, you can't do this on a

967
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:57.760
<v Speaker 1>military base or if you need to have a population center.

968
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>We have giant military basis that have giant cities within them.

969
01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:06.079
<v Speaker 1>I think there might be one moon just to the

970
01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>south of the studios here.

971
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Or were they researching, Hey, where did the nuclear material go?

972
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Right?

973
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:12.719
<v Speaker 5>Like?

974
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>What explain this to me? And they they chose not to, man,

975
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>they chose not to But she was a pitbull man

976
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>and they hit her with those gotcha questions and she

977
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:28.199
<v Speaker 1>was having none of it. This with the immigration stuff.

978
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Immigration, of the thirty five hundred arrests ICE is made

979
01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:33.679
<v Speaker 3>so far since President.

980
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump came back into office, can.

981
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:36.920
<v Speaker 3>You just tell us the numbers how many have a

982
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>criminal record versus those who are just.

983
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:39.840
<v Speaker 7>In the country illegally?

984
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, So that is a setup question, right, because

985
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it's in either or how many of criminal records? How

986
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>many are in the country.

987
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Allege with them because they illegally broke our nation's laws

988
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:51.079
<v Speaker 3>and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes.

989
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:53.039
<v Speaker 3>I know the last administration didn't see it that way.

990
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:55.280
<v Speaker 3>So it's a big culture shift in our nation to

991
01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:57.719
<v Speaker 3>view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.

992
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>But that's exactly what they are.

993
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:02.519
<v Speaker 1>They've all had a criminal record, and welcome.

994
01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:04.719
<v Speaker 3>To the if they broke our nation's laws, Yes they

995
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:05.320
<v Speaker 3>are criminal.

996
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and these reporters know that. Pretty glad to have

997
01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you a long And as we have been discussing this morning,

998
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:18.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole lot of changes, and of course everyone's

999
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>freaking out in Washington, d C. With things like enter

1000
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the word resign to resign or you're going to have

1001
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to come back to the office or we're gonna start

1002
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>digging into these NGOs and figure out why it's basically

1003
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a universal basic income for leftist politicians and supporters. So

1004
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>while that's going on, NC hasn't escaped this. And I'm

1005
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>not talking about past three dollars. I'm talking about changes

1006
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>right now. Two of our Council of State members made

1007
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>it a priority to when they entered office to attempt

1008
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to remove DEI components from their office. One is our

1009
01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:57.679
<v Speaker 1>newest state auditor, Dave Bullock, who we chatted with here

1010
01:01:57.679 --> 01:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago. Wanted him to come on

1011
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and talk about it. How are you doing this morning.

1012
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Sir, Hey, good morning, Casey. How are you today?

1013
01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty good. Just watching everything on fire. So and

1014
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone freak out because you know, that's a license to

1015
01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>different money for me. But I saw this. You who

1016
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:18.559
<v Speaker 1>was I'm sorry, who's the other this state council member

1017
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>who did it?

1018
01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:23.920
<v Speaker 5>It's the commissioner Farley, Commissioner, Labor Commissioner.

1019
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you guys publicly said that one of the priorities

1020
01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>with you coming into office was to remove the DEI components.

1021
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about first the size of your office

1022
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>because it's obviously going to be a lot smaller than

1023
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:40.559
<v Speaker 1>say the IRS or some of these federal organizations that

1024
01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>are getting the pub And what the DEEI looked like

1025
01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:49.559
<v Speaker 1>in your office, So bring us up to speed.

1026
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, good question. Well, the State Auditor's Office is currently

1027
01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:59.639
<v Speaker 5>about one hundred and sixty folks, wrong, mostly made up

1028
01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:03.400
<v Speaker 5>of editors and accountants and investigators.

1029
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:04.199
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

1030
01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:10.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Well there's some page turners in some of our audits.

1031
01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:14.119
<v Speaker 5>But on another note, we're going to make those more

1032
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:18.559
<v Speaker 5>exciting and interesting moving forward. But DEI is something that

1033
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.800
<v Speaker 5>I've been an opponent of for a while. When I

1034
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:24.440
<v Speaker 5>was chair of the board at UNC Chapel Hill, I

1035
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:26.360
<v Speaker 5>made the move to strip it out of the budget

1036
01:03:26.519 --> 01:03:30.519
<v Speaker 5>at UNC Chapel Hill, so I've been a consistent opponent.

1037
01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:34.719
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it brings any return on investment to taxpayers.

1038
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:40.000
<v Speaker 5>It's needless, it's pointless, and it really is divisive. What

1039
01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:43.480
<v Speaker 5>it looked like in the Auditor's office was. For example,

1040
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:46.920
<v Speaker 5>if you are a team member in the Auditor's office

1041
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:50.960
<v Speaker 5>and you're being evaluated for your job performance, there's certain

1042
01:03:51.119 --> 01:03:54.199
<v Speaker 5>metrics that were used to determine how well you did

1043
01:03:54.239 --> 01:04:00.960
<v Speaker 5>your job. Trustworthiness, helpfulness, competency on the job, you know,

1044
01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:08.480
<v Speaker 5>normal things like that, and then how how you managed diversity,

1045
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:13.360
<v Speaker 5>equity inclusion. And I'm just not prepared to have folks

1046
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:18.360
<v Speaker 5>that work in an office that I lead having to

1047
01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:22.480
<v Speaker 5>answer how they do with DEI a pointless measure with

1048
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:23.159
<v Speaker 5>no return.

1049
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>In the claims on hysteria on the hysterical side of

1050
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Twitter was that you're going to be in there and

1051
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Luke's going to be in there. Fire and everybody is

1052
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that true? Fire?

1053
01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:37.400
<v Speaker 5>As a matter of fact, matter of fact, we onboarded

1054
01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:41.760
<v Speaker 5>two people yesterday at the office.

1055
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:43.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, well they.

1056
01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:49.119
<v Speaker 5>Were open slots, Casey and hey again at the auditor's office.

1057
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:52.039
<v Speaker 5>We're not spending your money, We're investing your money in

1058
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:55.400
<v Speaker 5>and getting a return on finding waste, fraud and abuse.

1059
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, and this is the reason too, I wanted to

1060
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:02.559
<v Speaker 1>talk to you because numbers, even though I can give

1061
01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you lots of examples where this has been exploited, numbers

1062
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>should be the thing least deiable. Do you know what

1063
01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Because two plus two is two, except because

1064
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>people with a straight face have explained to me that

1065
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's five. And the only person I used to

1066
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:22.679
<v Speaker 1>data girl who had a master's degree in abstract algebra,

1067
01:05:22.719 --> 01:05:25.159
<v Speaker 1>and I asked what that was one time, and she's like, well,

1068
01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like a math prob with no right answer, and

1069
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:29.559
<v Speaker 1>and then and then I tuned out at that point

1070
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that's for you guys, she's in actuary. Now. The fact

1071
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>remains that all that you guys care about is the numbers,

1072
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and and so why having it, why a DEI component

1073
01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:44.119
<v Speaker 1>would fit within that? This isn't health and human services

1074
01:05:44.159 --> 01:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>with this is this is this is crunching numbers.

1075
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.679
<v Speaker 5>Well, and you know, we brought the entire auditor staff.

1076
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:56.840
<v Speaker 5>So the Auditor's Office actually has four regional offices, one

1077
01:05:56.920 --> 01:05:59.559
<v Speaker 5>in Ashville, one in Cornersville, one in Wilmington, and one

1078
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:03.519
<v Speaker 5>in green as well. We brought the entire team to

1079
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:08.119
<v Speaker 5>Raleigh Friday, and I had a frank discussion with them

1080
01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:10.880
<v Speaker 5>about my position on DI and how I didn't think

1081
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:13.559
<v Speaker 5>that it brought any retirement investment and then it put

1082
01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:19.119
<v Speaker 5>people in a position that was not accurate. Number one

1083
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:23.519
<v Speaker 5>and number two created divisiveness in the workplace. I didn't

1084
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:26.119
<v Speaker 5>get any pushback from the members of the team because

1085
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:28.199
<v Speaker 5>my point to them was is that I believe that

1086
01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:31.719
<v Speaker 5>everyone in the room was there because they're good at

1087
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.920
<v Speaker 5>their job, they deserve to have the job, and they're

1088
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:38.119
<v Speaker 5>giving the people of North Carolina value every day when

1089
01:06:38.119 --> 01:06:41.159
<v Speaker 5>they come in trying to hunt down ways fraud and abuse.

1090
01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.679
<v Speaker 5>And so that's the type of person we want working

1091
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:47.519
<v Speaker 5>in the Auditor's office. So to your point, yeah, I

1092
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:51.320
<v Speaker 5>want people. We're going to hire people based on merit

1093
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:54.840
<v Speaker 5>and the value that they bring to the office, not

1094
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:59.880
<v Speaker 5>based on some fantasy metric made up on a DI scale.

1095
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And what is more troubling when a government office

1096
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>was doing it, like the corporations were having their hands

1097
01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>forced because many of them needed working capital throughout the year.

1098
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>And this component, this ESG score was created by activists

1099
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and a CEO had to make the decision as to

1100
01:07:18.239 --> 01:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>whether to put the DEI stuff in or maybe not

1101
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>have the company run anymore. But at the governmental level,

1102
01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it was purely a self inflicted decision. And there's another

1103
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>component to this, and that is the meritocracy after employment.

1104
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>And this is where I see people talk about, well,

1105
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:39.559
<v Speaker 1>if I'm a cists white male, or if I don't

1106
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>tick enough boxes, why should I work harder? Because my

1107
01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:49.159
<v Speaker 1>chances of advancing are nil in some cases? And you

1108
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:52.519
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about something that kills efficiency, that's got

1109
01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to be up at the top.

1110
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, I mean, because what will be you know

1111
01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:00.280
<v Speaker 5>what I have found out. I will say this one

1112
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:03.599
<v Speaker 5>thing that I have been really blessed with in the

1113
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Auditor's office is I arrived didn't get a transition period,

1114
01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:11.039
<v Speaker 5>and we talked about that before I started on January

1115
01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:15.800
<v Speaker 5>the second. I have found a lot of people committed

1116
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:18.439
<v Speaker 5>to doing their job. Quite frankly, there are many people

1117
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:20.960
<v Speaker 5>that work in the Auditor's office that are not as

1118
01:08:21.039 --> 01:08:25.359
<v Speaker 5>much concerned about who the elected state auditor is as

1119
01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:29.760
<v Speaker 5>they are about doing their job, which is making sure

1120
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.359
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina runs more efficiently and making sure the numbers

1121
01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:36.680
<v Speaker 5>add up. So we do have some really committed civil

1122
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:39.720
<v Speaker 5>servants in that office. At least I have found that

1123
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:42.359
<v Speaker 5>to be the case. Now, we've obviously going to make

1124
01:08:42.399 --> 01:08:45.439
<v Speaker 5>some moves and have changed some leadership in the office,

1125
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:50.920
<v Speaker 5>and that's to be expected. But to your point, we

1126
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.439
<v Speaker 5>want to have an opportunity in our office at the

1127
01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Auditor's Office for folks to earn their way to promotions,

1128
01:08:58.199 --> 01:09:01.000
<v Speaker 5>to come to work, to dig down and go the

1129
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:04.920
<v Speaker 5>extra mile on behalf of tax payers get value and

1130
01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:11.000
<v Speaker 5>purpose out of every day's job, and they're going to

1131
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:11.960
<v Speaker 5>be rewarded for that.

1132
01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to play you a piece of audio. This

1133
01:09:14.760 --> 01:09:18.119
<v Speaker 1>was the very first White House Press briefing new Press

1134
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Secretary Catherine leave it. I love it. Excuse me, And

1135
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it has to do with some of the stuff they're

1136
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:28.279
<v Speaker 1>seen as Doge and others are digging into this. Let

1137
01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:29.479
<v Speaker 1>me play the cut first.

1138
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Just during this pause, Doge and Omb have actually found

1139
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:36.399
<v Speaker 3>that there was thirty seven million dollars that was about

1140
01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:39.279
<v Speaker 3>to go out the door to the World Health Organization,

1141
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.760
<v Speaker 3>which is an organization as you all know, that President Chump,

1142
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:45.039
<v Speaker 3>with the swipe of his pen in that executive Order,

1143
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:47.159
<v Speaker 3>is no longer wants in the United States to be a

1144
01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>part of. So that wouldn't be in line with the

1145
01:09:48.760 --> 01:09:52.279
<v Speaker 3>president's agenda. Doj and Omb also found that there was

1146
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:55.279
<v Speaker 3>about to be fifty million taxpayer dollars that went out

1147
01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:58.439
<v Speaker 3>the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a

1148
01:09:58.479 --> 01:09:59.800
<v Speaker 3>preposterous way, all right.

1149
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, those condoms is the Jerusalem Posts

1150
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>reported as early as twenty twenty, are then used as

1151
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:11.439
<v Speaker 1>balloons to fly IEDs into South the israelitelhoods. So my

1152
01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>question is because that's looney tunes. Have you seen anything

1153
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.439
<v Speaker 1>crazy spill the teaser?

1154
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Not you, I mean, you know, really the biggest thing

1155
01:10:21.880 --> 01:10:24.000
<v Speaker 5>that we've been doing right now, and I'll be just

1156
01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:26.680
<v Speaker 5>totally transparent with you, KC is I'm trying to put

1157
01:10:26.680 --> 01:10:29.960
<v Speaker 5>the team together to make sure that we move forward. Now.

1158
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:33.720
<v Speaker 5>We have begun the audit of the Department of Other

1159
01:10:33.800 --> 01:10:40.399
<v Speaker 5>Vehicles and that is a Florida ceiling audit. One of

1160
01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:43.680
<v Speaker 5>the bigger things that I've had concerns about in that

1161
01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:49.439
<v Speaker 5>arena is the use of shelter trailers in western North

1162
01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:53.760
<v Speaker 5>Carolina and the inability to actually use these trailers. There

1163
01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:57.199
<v Speaker 5>were seventy to eighty trailers in Hickory, North Carolina at

1164
01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:03.560
<v Speaker 5>the Ickorymotor Speedway, and tilers have not been deployed frankly

1165
01:11:03.640 --> 01:11:08.319
<v Speaker 5>because they don't qualify as a recreational trailer. They're not

1166
01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:12.840
<v Speaker 5>a permanent trailer. But the zoning requirements have not been

1167
01:11:13.319 --> 01:11:15.680
<v Speaker 5>loosened up in the western part of the state. You

1168
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.600
<v Speaker 5>can't put them in a flood zone. Everything's a flood zone. Now.

1169
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:22.079
<v Speaker 5>You have to hook them up to water electricity, and

1170
01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:25.279
<v Speaker 5>they have to fit zoning requirements. So a lot of

1171
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:30.560
<v Speaker 5>the emergency trailers that have been provided are simply sitting

1172
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:34.880
<v Speaker 5>in staging areas and not being deployed. And so that's

1173
01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:39.079
<v Speaker 5>at least one thing that I've noticed and have talked

1174
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:40.640
<v Speaker 5>to the Governor's office about it.

1175
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>How is your How is your relationship with Stein?

1176
01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:48.039
<v Speaker 5>That's fine? I mean I've known him for a while.

1177
01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:51.720
<v Speaker 5>He seems to be certainly committed to making sure that

1178
01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:55.880
<v Speaker 5>we rebuild western North Carolina. I've been surprised by that.

1179
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:01.039
<v Speaker 5>I think he's trying to feel out out exactly what

1180
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:05.800
<v Speaker 5>he was left with from the Cooper administration and looking

1181
01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:07.920
<v Speaker 5>to move forward. I have met with some of his

1182
01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:12.840
<v Speaker 5>department heads, his new cabinet members to let them know

1183
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.760
<v Speaker 5>that we will be sending teams in to all that

1184
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:21.560
<v Speaker 5>their departments. But you know, I haven't. I haven't had

1185
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:24.560
<v Speaker 5>any any terse words with the governor one way or

1186
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:24.840
<v Speaker 5>the other.

1187
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:28.399
<v Speaker 1>It would be fine. It wasn't a secret, and you

1188
01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:30.159
<v Speaker 1>can tell me if I'm if I'm wrong, But at

1189
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:32.199
<v Speaker 1>least the way it didn't appear to be a secret,

1190
01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:34.119
<v Speaker 1>and I think COVID had a lot to do with it.

1191
01:12:34.159 --> 01:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>When the Council of State members were going back and

1192
01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:40.359
<v Speaker 1>forth over him reinterpreting what we all understood the law

1193
01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:44.039
<v Speaker 1>to be that Cooper didn't have a great relationship with

1194
01:12:44.279 --> 01:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>opposite party member state Council members, and that had to

1195
01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>be a net negative for North Carolinians. So how do

1196
01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we make sure that doesn't happen even when you guys

1197
01:12:57.840 --> 01:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>have fundamental disagreements.

1198
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:06.439
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's a good question. I do I have. I

1199
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:11.000
<v Speaker 5>have seen a willingness from the governor to work with myself.

1200
01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:13.680
<v Speaker 5>I can't speak for the other members. I do know

1201
01:13:13.760 --> 01:13:16.000
<v Speaker 5>that he is UH because I was in the room.

1202
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:20.439
<v Speaker 5>He's worked with the treasurer, the new treasurer who's a Republican,

1203
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:24.199
<v Speaker 5>as well as Commissioner Farley on a couple of things.

1204
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:26.800
<v Speaker 5>So he at least seems to be willing to reach

1205
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:31.880
<v Speaker 5>across UH sort of the party isle to work with

1206
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.079
<v Speaker 5>other members of the Council of State UH, and we work.

1207
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.720
<v Speaker 5>We're working together currently on one project to help my

1208
01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:43.319
<v Speaker 5>office with the structure that the Governor's required to sign

1209
01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:46.199
<v Speaker 5>off on some things, and he's indicated that he's going

1210
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:49.880
<v Speaker 5>to assist me to move forward in an expeditious manner. So,

1211
01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:56.239
<v Speaker 5>Governor Cooper, you know, I dealt with him occasionally, particularly

1212
01:13:56.279 --> 01:13:57.880
<v Speaker 5>when I was on the chair of the board at

1213
01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:00.800
<v Speaker 5>USC Chapel Hill, and if you just didn't agree one

1214
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:03.239
<v Speaker 5>hundred percent with everything he said, he really had no

1215
01:14:03.359 --> 01:14:04.039
<v Speaker 5>use for you.

1216
01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, they came after you. They came after you and

1217
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:08.239
<v Speaker 1>several of the board members, and then the students would

1218
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>go out and do a little wiggle worm protest out

1219
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>where you're in screen at you while you're trying to

1220
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>figure stuff out. Obviously, you know that was a tumultuous time,

1221
01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:21.800
<v Speaker 1>but Stein wasn't there. I have some disagreements, so you

1222
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.239
<v Speaker 1>probably do ideologically. That's that being said. The relationship Cooper

1223
01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:29.079
<v Speaker 1>had with Council of State members, like I said, was

1224
01:14:29.079 --> 01:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a was a net negative. But that was during controversial stuff.

1225
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think one of the controversial things is going

1226
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to be if Trump well, I mean Trump said it.

1227
01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He said, no, we're gonna we're gonna put the we're

1228
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna pass the dollars through the state side. Step FEME

1229
01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:47.479
<v Speaker 1>on this and as a working philosophy going forward, it's

1230
01:14:47.520 --> 01:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>something that has been suggested. My question is that's got

1231
01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:55.319
<v Speaker 1>to create a whole new ball of wax for you. Uh,

1232
01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:57.159
<v Speaker 1>what what do you think of that? Because now you're

1233
01:14:57.159 --> 01:15:00.359
<v Speaker 1>doing oversight, you're doing double overside. On stuff on billllions

1234
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and billions of dollars more than you're currently doing.

1235
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:07.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and we haven't even started with the Board of Elections,

1236
01:15:07.239 --> 01:15:12.239
<v Speaker 5>which starts my first Yeah. No, I actually agree with

1237
01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:16.159
<v Speaker 5>President Trump. I don't see the necessity in a huge

1238
01:15:16.399 --> 01:15:21.960
<v Speaker 5>government apparatus like FEMA, when the state of North Carolina

1239
01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:24.319
<v Speaker 5>and every other state in the Union has its own

1240
01:15:24.319 --> 01:15:29.760
<v Speaker 5>emergency management department, And instead of creating some behemleth of

1241
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:32.680
<v Speaker 5>a government agency that requires yet one more layer of

1242
01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:35.840
<v Speaker 5>red tape to make dollars flow, why not just go

1243
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:38.399
<v Speaker 5>directly to the states, give it in the form of

1244
01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:41.680
<v Speaker 5>a grant to the states, and let the states distribute

1245
01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:45.680
<v Speaker 5>it in the way that it sees it, and that

1246
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:49.840
<v Speaker 5>the way the citizens need. My office is certainly capable

1247
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:52.640
<v Speaker 5>of tracking those dollars and making sure they're not wasted.

1248
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.960
<v Speaker 5>And we've begun that process with Western North Carolina. So

1249
01:15:57.560 --> 01:16:05.439
<v Speaker 5>I actually support President Trump in that effort. I think SEEMA,

1250
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:07.960
<v Speaker 5>other than just writing a check and sending it to

1251
01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:09.399
<v Speaker 5>the state, serves no purpose.

1252
01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And even if there's no waste per se, you know,

1253
01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>nobody's scrolling dollars to the wrong place. You have if

1254
01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you have additional bodies in between. They still have to

1255
01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be paid, benefits have to be provided. So it's less money.

1256
01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:25.399
<v Speaker 1>It's less money for the state to duel out because

1257
01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you're you're in middle manager. Hell all right, I got

1258
01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:32.319
<v Speaker 1>a minute, and so explain you said something. We're going

1259
01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>to get creative and how we talk about waste thirty seconds?

1260
01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:37.439
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean by that?

1261
01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:40.600
<v Speaker 5>Yep? Well, what I mean by that is that the

1262
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:45.199
<v Speaker 5>Auditor's Office in the past has focused solely on financial statements,

1263
01:16:45.600 --> 01:16:48.239
<v Speaker 5>occasionally done for performance all this, and what I mean

1264
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:51.479
<v Speaker 5>by that is we are going to work. In fact,

1265
01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:54.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm meeting with the Select Committee in the leg in

1266
01:16:54.159 --> 01:16:57.720
<v Speaker 5>the in the House of Representatives today on our own

1267
01:16:57.800 --> 01:17:01.520
<v Speaker 5>version of DOGE in North Carolina, and we're gonna look

1268
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:03.560
<v Speaker 5>at agencies and we're gonna look it away to be

1269
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:07.319
<v Speaker 5>more efficient. And the recommendation might not always be just

1270
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:09.720
<v Speaker 5>to be efficient, maybe to eliminate programs.

1271
01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, And that's what I thought you were saying,

1272
01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:13.479
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to make sure I didn't put words

1273
01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in your mouth. All right, Dave Bullock, State Auditor, appreciate

1274
01:17:16.640 --> 01:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the time this morning, sir.

1275
01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, casey, thank you, my friend.

1276
01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>All Right, there we go so we get our own

1277
01:17:22.199 --> 01:17:25.159
<v Speaker 1>little mini doge looking forward to that. We'll be back

1278
01:17:25.199 --> 01:17:27.039
<v Speaker 1>here in just a few minutes. We got lots to

1279
01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:30.239
<v Speaker 1>get into, lots more audio stick around. It's the CaCO

1280
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Day Radio program, The CaCO Day Radio Program. Holocaust, rememberance,

1281
01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:39.039
<v Speaker 1>stay just happened. Let's head over to the UK and

1282
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>see how Good Morning Britain chose to point this out.

1283
01:17:42.720 --> 01:17:45.119
<v Speaker 8>And Charles will become the first British head of state

1284
01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:48.680
<v Speaker 8>to visit Auschwitz Berknal later today as part of events

1285
01:17:48.680 --> 01:17:51.439
<v Speaker 8>to mark eighty years since the liberation of the Nazi

1286
01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:55.840
<v Speaker 8>death camp. Six million people were killed in concentration camps

1287
01:17:55.920 --> 01:17:59.079
<v Speaker 8>during the Second World War, as well as millions of

1288
01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:03.560
<v Speaker 8>others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to

1289
01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:05.239
<v Speaker 8>another ethnic group.

1290
01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:15.239
<v Speaker 1>So hold on, So because they were Polish, disabled, gay

1291
01:18:16.840 --> 01:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>or another I guess she's referencing like Romani Gypsies and stuff.

1292
01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything? Is there anyone that left off the list?

1293
01:18:23.520 --> 01:18:27.479
<v Speaker 1>There a hold on, let's listen to it again. I

1294
01:18:28.039 --> 01:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I just said this thing went back.

1295
01:18:29.760 --> 01:18:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's some there's a group that might

1296
01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:34.079
<v Speaker 1>be missing.

1297
01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:36.720
<v Speaker 8>King Charles will become the first British head of State

1298
01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:40.239
<v Speaker 8>to visit Auschwitz Berknal later today as part of events

1299
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.000
<v Speaker 8>to mark eighty years since the liberation of the Nazi

1300
01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:47.399
<v Speaker 8>death camp. Six million people were killed in concentration camps

1301
01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:50.640
<v Speaker 8>during the Second World War, as well as millions of

1302
01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:55.159
<v Speaker 8>others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belong to

1303
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:56.760
<v Speaker 8>another ethnic group.

1304
01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that four things doing some heat that

1305
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Ross is. Can you think of any other groups that

1306
01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:06.479
<v Speaker 1>were targeted at Auschwitz?

1307
01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I would say Catholic, but that was a lot of

1308
01:19:09.279 --> 01:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>the Polish as well. So oh yeah, Catholic that yeah,

1309
01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>are you missing one?

1310
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I yeah, there's something there.

1311
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Gypsies.

1312
01:19:22.600 --> 01:19:25.319
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, I said Romani Gypsies. Okay, yeah, no,

1313
01:19:25.399 --> 01:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I pointed that pointed that one out there. We may

1314
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:33.680
<v Speaker 1>never know if we watch Good Morning Britain the jew

1315
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the Jews. Perhaps, Ah, that's what you doing, That's what

1316
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:43.920
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah, weird that you didn't mention that at all.

1317
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:49.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, holy hell, what are we doing here? Is

1318
01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that conscious? And she like did she feel it rolls

1319
01:19:52.600 --> 01:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>in with the other I mean, obviously that's that was

1320
01:19:56.840 --> 01:19:59.439
<v Speaker 1>the reason for the season. You know what I'm saying, Like,

1321
01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:05.239
<v Speaker 1>if you do you do any bit of research, especially.

1322
01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:07.840
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying the other people did not die. Is

1323
01:20:07.840 --> 01:20:08.439
<v Speaker 2>that what you're saying?

1324
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:11.279
<v Speaker 1>No, No, so you're saying that it's not what I

1325
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.159
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I said. That's I said. She's an idiot,

1326
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:20.159
<v Speaker 1>And okay, we'll just yeah, leave it right there. Speaking

1327
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:23.159
<v Speaker 1>of idiots, Acosta Lavista.

1328
01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:25.039
<v Speaker 9>Just wanted to end today's show by thanking all of

1329
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:28.039
<v Speaker 9>the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network.

1330
01:20:28.079 --> 01:20:30.560
<v Speaker 9>You may have seen some reports about me and the show,

1331
01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:33.920
<v Speaker 9>and after giving all of this some careful consideration and

1332
01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:36.319
<v Speaker 9>weigh and alternative time slot seeing an offer of me,

1333
01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:40.119
<v Speaker 9>I've decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN

1334
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:43.159
<v Speaker 9>for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here doing the news.

1335
01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:46.319
<v Speaker 9>People often ask me if the highlight of my career

1336
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:49.560
<v Speaker 9>at CNN was at the White House covering Donald Trump. Actually, no,

1337
01:20:50.640 --> 01:20:54.479
<v Speaker 9>that moment came here when I covered four President of

1338
01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:57.479
<v Speaker 9>Barack Obama's trip to Cuba in twenty sixteen and had

1339
01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:01.319
<v Speaker 9>the chance to question the dictator there, Astro about the

1340
01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:05.319
<v Speaker 9>islands political prisoners. As the son of a Cuban refugee,

1341
01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:08.800
<v Speaker 9>I took home this lesson. It is never a good

1342
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:12.479
<v Speaker 9>time to bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed

1343
01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:14.920
<v Speaker 9>it's the job of the press to hold power to account.

1344
01:21:14.920 --> 01:21:17.319
<v Speaker 9>I've always tried to do that here at CNN, and

1345
01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:19.960
<v Speaker 9>I plan on doing all of that in the future.

1346
01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:25.000
<v Speaker 9>One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give

1347
01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:29.319
<v Speaker 9>into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.

1348
01:21:30.520 --> 01:21:32.319
<v Speaker 9>Even if you have to get out your phone, record

1349
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:35.800
<v Speaker 9>that message. I will not give into the lies. I

1350
01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:38.840
<v Speaker 9>will not give into the fear. Post it on your

1351
01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:42.520
<v Speaker 9>social media so people can hear from you too. I'll

1352
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:44.600
<v Speaker 9>have more to say about my plans in the coming days,

1353
01:21:44.600 --> 01:21:46.640
<v Speaker 9>but until then, I want to thank all of you

1354
01:21:46.680 --> 01:21:48.880
<v Speaker 9>for tuning in. Has been an honor to be welcomed

1355
01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:51.760
<v Speaker 9>into your home for all these years. That's the news

1356
01:21:52.039 --> 01:21:54.720
<v Speaker 9>reporting from Washington. I'm Jim Acosta.

1357
01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Now let's be specific. So where they were wanting to

1358
01:21:57.800 --> 01:22:02.039
<v Speaker 1>move Acosta was Graveyard, but he would be able to

1359
01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>broadcast from the West coast, so uh so, you know,

1360
01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:08.840
<v Speaker 1>midnight obviously is eight you get to the other side

1361
01:22:08.840 --> 01:22:11.479
<v Speaker 1>of the country there. He did not want to do that, so,

1362
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>like many others, he is off to do a sub stack.

1363
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe he joins the idiot crew over

1364
01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:22.439
<v Speaker 1>at the contrarian. Is that what the the dec All

1365
01:22:22.520 --> 01:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the cast offs from the Post are calling it, and

1366
01:22:25.760 --> 01:22:30.039
<v Speaker 1>now Krugman from New York Times, I don't know, but

1367
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I also don't care, you know why, because you're you're

1368
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>possibly this smuggist reporter I have ever seen, and and

1369
01:22:40.039 --> 01:22:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm almost impressed that he's never really backtracked on it,

1370
01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like remember when he wouldn't

1371
01:22:46.920 --> 01:22:50.159
<v Speaker 1>give the microphone up, like and and of course all

1372
01:22:50.199 --> 01:22:52.760
<v Speaker 1>of the fake news and real fake news at no,

1373
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:56.479
<v Speaker 1>at no point, even when his empire, so to speak,

1374
01:22:56.560 --> 01:23:00.159
<v Speaker 1>is collapsing around him where they're trying to move the

1375
01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>graveyard shift, but they remember they moved him before, and

1376
01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't at the White House anymore. Like he's been

1377
01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:13.279
<v Speaker 1>summarily demoted for years because he's so incredibly unlikable, and

1378
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>yet he never let it get him down, never said, hey,

1379
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe the way I do things is problematic. And just

1380
01:23:23.560 --> 01:23:26.239
<v Speaker 1>so you know, some of his former colleagues are on

1381
01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>these apology tours. Chris Saliza, remember Chris Saliza, just as

1382
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>big as scumbag as the rest of them. He had

1383
01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to play. He had a whole thread yesterday. But it's

1384
01:23:36.560 --> 01:23:40.079
<v Speaker 1>also scummy, and I'll explain why outside of just what

1385
01:23:40.159 --> 01:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he wrote. It says I screwed up. Back in May

1386
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:47.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, I wrote how Anthony Fauci had crushed Donald

1387
01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump's lab leak theory for how COVID originated. The CIA

1388
01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>said over the weekend they now believe the virus leak

1389
01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:58.119
<v Speaker 1>from a lab. And he gives a little background there,

1390
01:23:58.760 --> 01:24:03.399
<v Speaker 1>but more specifically, i'll paraphrase this because it's very lengthy.

1391
01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>He says, when when Trump was saying from China and

1392
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Fauci was saying wet market, so not you know, not

1393
01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:15.960
<v Speaker 1>being weaponized in a lab or studied in a lab,

1394
01:24:16.520 --> 01:24:20.079
<v Speaker 1>gain a function in a lab. I decided that I

1395
01:24:20.119 --> 01:24:26.720
<v Speaker 1>would just believe Fauci over Trump, not because there was evidence,

1396
01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but because he decided that he didn't like Trump. He

1397
01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>liked Fauci more. That's not how you gather news and

1398
01:24:34.039 --> 01:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>facts on something that important. If you're not able to

1399
01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:43.239
<v Speaker 1>independently confirm it, you have to present both. You decided

1400
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to take a position, and you also took positions. If

1401
01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I could just remind people that were not just a

1402
01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>disagreement over the origin of the virus. You took positions

1403
01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:59.199
<v Speaker 1>and your colleagues took positions that people who disagreed with

1404
01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>your facts were attempting to kill people. Okay, attempting to

1405
01:25:07.800 --> 01:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>kill people should have their children taken away in some instance,

1406
01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:16.800
<v Speaker 1>should be fired and have their livelihood stripped from them,

1407
01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:20.279
<v Speaker 1>And Biden tried to put it in action if they

1408
01:25:20.359 --> 01:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't go along with it. So you didn't just make

1409
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.319
<v Speaker 1>a judgment air on the origination of the virus. You

1410
01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:33.199
<v Speaker 1>openly advocated, and your colleagues and your guests openly advocated

1411
01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:40.079
<v Speaker 1>for the eradication of people's lifestyles, to put them into poverty,

1412
01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to break up their families, to ostracize them from everything

1413
01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and everyone around them. And you were partially successful because

1414
01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it destroyed It destroyed some people's lives. I'm not even

1415
01:25:57.560 --> 01:26:00.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about any of the medical speculation about either long

1416
01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:05.479
<v Speaker 1>COVID or people's hearts just stopping. I'm talking about families

1417
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that don't talk to other portions of the families because

1418
01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you so engrossed them that you were right, and anyone

1419
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:16.279
<v Speaker 1>who disagreed was essentially a murderer or a potential murderer,

1420
01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>or not fit for society. And your scumbaggery doesn't even

1421
01:26:22.119 --> 01:26:26.479
<v Speaker 1>stop with your stupid Manaculpa here because if you want

1422
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.439
<v Speaker 1>to go to his sub stack, which he promotes throughout it,

1423
01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:32.159
<v Speaker 1>you have to go. He tells you to go to

1424
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:36.039
<v Speaker 1>his bio. If you click it, it shows you part

1425
01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:39.399
<v Speaker 1>of the article, requiring you to give your email address.

1426
01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Then you get part more part two of the article,

1427
01:26:43.159 --> 01:26:46.439
<v Speaker 1>but you don't get his quote unquote. I can't remember

1428
01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>how he words it, but basically he goes through a

1429
01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff. You have to subscribe for that. So

1430
01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>this piece of garbage got excommunicated for the same reason

1431
01:26:54.800 --> 01:26:58.479
<v Speaker 1>his buddy Acosta's hit in the streets and he wants

1432
01:26:58.560 --> 01:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to trick you into restoring his lifestyle with a groveling

1433
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>semi apology that isn't really even an apology. You can't

1434
01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:17.439
<v Speaker 1>hate these people enough. Sorry. See, Yeah, I was gonna

1435
01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna scream about Tom Tillis. Don't worry, that'll be

1436
01:27:20.079 --> 01:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>coming up at first race stagic. He's got good news.

1437
01:27:22.479 --> 01:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>So happy time is race stagic here. Yeah, let's bring

1438
01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>the happy. Yeah, not much bring the joy as the

1439
01:27:29.319 --> 01:27:32.000
<v Speaker 1>last election, which didn't work so well.

1440
01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:35.760
<v Speaker 6>The joy is yeah, the joy is in what we've

1441
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:37.840
<v Speaker 6>got and what we're going to be getting. I mean,

1442
01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:41.119
<v Speaker 6>don't really be too concerned about the rain threat Friday.

1443
01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:43.039
<v Speaker 6>I mean, yeah, some rain, but they're believe it or not.

1444
01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:45.079
<v Speaker 6>There is a special statement out from the Weather Service

1445
01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:48.560
<v Speaker 6>about the abnormally dry conditions that they issued today, so

1446
01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:52.399
<v Speaker 6>actually an increased fire danger through this evening, so dry

1447
01:27:52.439 --> 01:27:55.439
<v Speaker 6>weather day. Most of us up probably mid upper sixties,

1448
01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:57.600
<v Speaker 6>so some pretty mild weather but not even close to

1449
01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:01.600
<v Speaker 6>record warmth. Got a stiff west breeze tonight in the thirties. Tomorrow,

1450
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.119
<v Speaker 6>still hovering around sixty. Most of us will probably fall

1451
01:28:05.279 --> 01:28:08.960
<v Speaker 6>just short, but we will stay well above normal with

1452
01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:11.479
<v Speaker 6>the showers coming in and getting a little warmer Friday

1453
01:28:11.520 --> 01:28:14.319
<v Speaker 6>as this quick little clipper type system pushes through. It's

1454
01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:17.600
<v Speaker 6>gonna be a fast mover. Mid to upper sixties on Friday.

1455
01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:20.439
<v Speaker 6>Weekend's going to be great, upper fifties, lots of sunshine,

1456
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.439
<v Speaker 6>and then back up near seventy for the Triangle on Monday,

1457
01:28:25.279 --> 01:28:28.039
<v Speaker 6>try it probably upper sixties and we'll keep the sixties

1458
01:28:28.039 --> 01:28:29.279
<v Speaker 6>together even into Tuesday.

1459
01:28:29.399 --> 01:28:30.239
<v Speaker 1>So it's all good.

1460
01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:33.159
<v Speaker 6>It's all above average, except Friday. Friday's a day where

1461
01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:36.119
<v Speaker 6>we'll see most of our rainfall. That's probably gonna start

1462
01:28:36.199 --> 01:28:37.920
<v Speaker 6>late morning and into the afternoon.

1463
01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. There you go.

1464
01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>We got Jeff Oh by the way, just real quick.

1465
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:45.359
<v Speaker 1>The reason I said it's say half apology is because

1466
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Saliza writes things like it now appears that reality TV

1467
01:28:49.600 --> 01:28:54.039
<v Speaker 1>star turn President was right and Fauci was wrong. Well,

1468
01:28:54.039 --> 01:28:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't see you categorizing Fauci as somebody who's a

1469
01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:59.520
<v Speaker 1>promoter of game and function research. And it's not that

1470
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:02.119
<v Speaker 1>he's a real TV show turned present. He's a president.

1471
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.960
<v Speaker 1>And it never dawned upon you though, when he was

1472
01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>telling you that he believed it to be a lab leak,

1473
01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:12.159
<v Speaker 1>that he might be privty information that you are not.

1474
01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:17.119
<v Speaker 1>You never thought about that, which is insane. We'll be back.

1475
01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:20.760
<v Speaker 10>Good morning, Casey. It is decision day for the Federal Reserve.

1476
01:29:20.880 --> 01:29:24.680
<v Speaker 10>Economists have no doubts that interest rates will be left unchanged.

1477
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:28.199
<v Speaker 10>One expert said it is the most predictable no change

1478
01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:30.840
<v Speaker 10>in recent years. But there is a lot of interest

1479
01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:33.800
<v Speaker 10>in what chaired Jerome Powell will have to say about rates,

1480
01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:37.039
<v Speaker 10>the economy, and potential new tariffs. He'll be meeting with

1481
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:41.600
<v Speaker 10>reporters at two thirty this afternoon. Federal rules concerning vehicles

1482
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:45.600
<v Speaker 10>fuel economy will get a rewrite. New Transportation Secretary Jean

1483
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:48.880
<v Speaker 10>Duffy hit the ground running. He issued orders that cafe

1484
01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:53.640
<v Speaker 10>standards implemented under the Biden administration be rescinded or replaced.

1485
01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:57.199
<v Speaker 10>President Trump has said the old regulations amounted to an

1486
01:29:57.239 --> 01:30:00.800
<v Speaker 10>electric vehicle mandate. Federal workers you don't want to return

1487
01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:03.680
<v Speaker 10>to their offices full time are being given an option

1488
01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:07.399
<v Speaker 10>by the Trump administration. The White House wants a more streamlined,

1489
01:30:07.439 --> 01:30:11.079
<v Speaker 10>flexible workforce, and employees who don't want to comply with

1490
01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:15.079
<v Speaker 10>the return to office director a directive are being offered buyouts.

1491
01:30:15.119 --> 01:30:17.520
<v Speaker 10>They must resign, though by a week from tomorrow they'll

1492
01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:20.359
<v Speaker 10>walk away with about eight months pay. There are signs

1493
01:30:20.399 --> 01:30:23.439
<v Speaker 10>that things started to improve at Starbucks after Brian Nickel

1494
01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:26.520
<v Speaker 10>took over as CEO and ordered a series of changes.

1495
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:29.439
<v Speaker 10>Same store sales still fell in the latest quarter, but

1496
01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:32.359
<v Speaker 10>not by as much as in the prior quarter. Nichol

1497
01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:36.399
<v Speaker 10>has worked to streamline menus and speed up service Starbucks shops.

1498
01:30:36.680 --> 01:30:39.479
<v Speaker 10>He did away with extra charges for non dairy milk,

1499
01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:42.800
<v Speaker 10>and he discouraged non customers who like to hang out

1500
01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:44.880
<v Speaker 10>at the coffee shops without buying anything.

1501
01:30:45.399 --> 01:30:46.039
<v Speaker 1>It's ho hum.

1502
01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:50.279
<v Speaker 10>Another Super Bowl featuring the Kansas City Chiefs. Ticket sellers

1503
01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:52.920
<v Speaker 10>say tickets to the big Game in New Orleans can

1504
01:30:52.960 --> 01:30:55.279
<v Speaker 10>be had for a lot less than what fans paid

1505
01:30:55.399 --> 01:30:58.479
<v Speaker 10>last year. Not to say that seats are cheap. The

1506
01:30:58.560 --> 01:31:01.720
<v Speaker 10>least expensive ones are going for more than five thousand dollars,

1507
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.920
<v Speaker 10>but that is down thirty seven percent from a year ago.

1508
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:07.680
<v Speaker 10>But while ticket prices to watch the Super Bowl in

1509
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:11.960
<v Speaker 10>person maybe down, this year, advertisers are paying record prices

1510
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:15.319
<v Speaker 10>to reach fans will be watching on TV. Casey sources

1511
01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:18.560
<v Speaker 10>say the most expensive thirty second spots are going for

1512
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:20.800
<v Speaker 10>more than eight million dollars this year.

1513
01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess we won't be running a show promo. Okay,

1514
01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it, all right, have

1515
01:31:26.640 --> 01:31:32.279
<v Speaker 1>a good day. Oh man. Yeah, they'll get Pro Bowl

1516
01:31:32.279 --> 01:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and Sandy that nobody cares about. So we got a

1517
01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:40.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, all right, real quickly, don't worry. I'm

1518
01:31:41.520 --> 01:31:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll be getting into this more and more. But a

1519
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:50.600
<v Speaker 1>rather interesting Wall Street Journal article appeared. You remember Pete

1520
01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:53.199
<v Speaker 1>hagg Sath's sister in law coming out with that letter,

1521
01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, I've been assured by some folks that

1522
01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>if I tell my story. It will make it, make

1523
01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:02.239
<v Speaker 1>it so Pete hagg Seth won't be the Defense secretary.

1524
01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna say these things that he did to

1525
01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>my sisters, and even the sister heg Say's former wife said,

1526
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:14.399
<v Speaker 1>none of that is true. And yet it became a

1527
01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:17.600
<v Speaker 1>became a thing. Now it didn't cost him the nomination.

1528
01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>He is the Defense secretary, and he is getting busy.

1529
01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:26.439
<v Speaker 1>That being said, now we know who might have been

1530
01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:29.399
<v Speaker 1>there if you, you know, pulling the strings on this

1531
01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:33.640
<v Speaker 1>thing behind attempting to undermine heg Seth. And according to

1532
01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal.

1533
01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:41.880
<v Speaker 7>Tom Tillis, you know, I was starting to think maybe

1534
01:32:41.920 --> 01:32:44.279
<v Speaker 7>this guy's not the right guy for the job. And

1535
01:32:44.279 --> 01:32:47.439
<v Speaker 7>it's stuff like this that makes me, you know, once

1536
01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:52.439
<v Speaker 7>again point out that once the ball gets rolling on

1537
01:32:52.680 --> 01:33:00.760
<v Speaker 7>this Senate race, as the incumbent, the the the party,

1538
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:02.960
<v Speaker 7>and the people who hand out the dollars at the

1539
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:05.439
<v Speaker 7>state level, at the national level, and the local levels,

1540
01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:09.000
<v Speaker 7>you're going to be very hard pressed to change their

1541
01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:11.520
<v Speaker 7>mind because and they will tell you, we don't want to.

1542
01:33:11.439 --> 01:33:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Lose the seat. Now's the time to make the switch.

1543
01:33:17.359 --> 01:33:20.560
<v Speaker 1>We have enough time. We have a pretty good idea

1544
01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:24.239
<v Speaker 1>who the opponent's going to be or at least a

1545
01:33:24.319 --> 01:33:28.000
<v Speaker 1>handful of people. I think Cooper is definitely in that mix.

1546
01:33:28.319 --> 01:33:32.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, But now's the time you got to send

1547
01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>somebody up there that's not doing this stuff. And I

1548
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>talked to somebody who's kind of in the know on this,

1549
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and they were saying the reason they're not going to primaries,

1550
01:33:40.479 --> 01:33:44.079
<v Speaker 1>Trump will probably endorse them. Well, my question is after

1551
01:33:44.119 --> 01:33:49.079
<v Speaker 1>this article comes out and it appears that in a

1552
01:33:49.119 --> 01:33:51.760
<v Speaker 1>statement until his didn't dispute the Wall Street journals reporting

1553
01:33:51.800 --> 01:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>about the call. He said hegstays statement did carry weight,

1554
01:33:54.840 --> 01:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>which is why I communicated my concerns to the White House,

1555
01:33:57.960 --> 01:34:00.239
<v Speaker 1>spent days doing due diligence and seeing if there was

1556
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:04.279
<v Speaker 1>any first hand corroborating accounts of the statement. He continued

1557
01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:06.399
<v Speaker 1>that quote, he was not able to speak with anyone

1558
01:34:06.399 --> 01:34:10.399
<v Speaker 1>who provided first hand corroboration. So what he's saying is, yes,

1559
01:34:10.640 --> 01:34:13.279
<v Speaker 1>I may have pushed it along while I did my

1560
01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:16.079
<v Speaker 1>due diligence. I don't know why you wouldn't just be

1561
01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>upfront about it. But then eventually I arrived at the

1562
01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>decision in opposition. I think he was putting his finger

1563
01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:26.479
<v Speaker 1>in the air politically and I wonder if Trump's going

1564
01:34:26.520 --> 01:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to be a little upset about this.
