WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:02.600 It's with Dan Ray. 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:05.960 I'm telling you easy Boston New Video. 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:10.439 All right, we are talking and we're going a little 4 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.240 longer than I had expected on this issue. And that 5 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:19.760 is stores that now are locking up items, making it 6 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.399 less convenient for you as a shopper, less convenient for 7 00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.440 me as a shopper. Don't know why they feel they 8 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.560 need to do this. There are stores that are closing 9 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.000 in some poor neighborhoods, which of course is their choice. However, 10 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.240 it leads a lot of people in poor communities without 11 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.719 access to to stores like CBS, Walgreens or whatever. I'm 12 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.240 not pinning that on any one of them, but those 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.679 are the pharmacies or the drug stores as we call them, 14 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.799 and those are the ones in this area now that 15 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.759 may be different, different ones in your area. So I 16 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.120 think it comes down what's called moral relativism, meaning I 17 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.319 go into a store and I feel that why should 18 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.719 I pay for that tube of toothpaste? Why should I 19 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.040 pay for that shampoo? I put it in my pocket? Oh, right, 20 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.640 because the company makes too much money. Anyway. That's the 21 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.480 problem in this society right now is when you have 22 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.959 more relative relativism, you know you're in a in a 23 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.719 parking lot and you you scrape the car next to you, 24 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.120 you know, do you stop? Do you put a little 25 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.840 note of that with your name and say, g I'm sorry. 26 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.760 I have no idea who you are, but give me 27 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.680 a call. I'll run this to my insurance company. Probably not. 28 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.000 Most people just drive away. Yeah, think about it. Oh 29 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.920 you open your door, I mean you slam into your doors, 30 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.560 scratches the car next to you. Are you honest enough? 31 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.920 It's it's all part of the same thing. Now, you 32 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.120 do have people who just feel they have a right 33 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.239 to go in with a shop bag and walk out. 34 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.200 Those those are that's that's those are criminals. Those are criminals. 35 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.560 How did we get here? How do we get out 36 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.080 of here? Six one seven ten thirty No guest tonight. 37 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:15.599 You are my guest if you make the call six 38 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.240 one seven four ten thirty one line there and six 39 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.680 one seven nine three one ten thirty. There's another topic 40 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.360 we intend to get to later on tonight, and that 41 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.560 is the US Surgeon General has now issued an advisory 42 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.840 on a link between the use of alcohol and that 43 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.840 includes beer, wine as well as spirits and cancer. Not 44 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.599 going to slow down your your consumption of alcohol. I 45 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.120 don't know they stop this phill in Boston. Hey Phil, 46 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.080 welcome back. How are you? 47 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.639 I forget I'm so confused though, I think you said, 48 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.520 what will we going leave it? The beaver days are 49 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.439 over there. The society that gentlemen'callum society is breaking down. 50 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.479 He's found too, a car and a body. In this plot, 51 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.000 I was at a store. I went to a store 52 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.439 and can I mission the name of this It was 53 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.159 a major retail because of w went into the store Walmart, 54 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.080 and I picked up some sneakers. A few left there, 55 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.120 I guess because then I locked up and I got 56 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.560 in the same shoe with a different price. So I walked. 57 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.360 I was trying to find the manager, and I walked 58 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.280 towards us. Well, the man's down there. And then I'm 59 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.800 walking towards where the manager was, and this woman who 60 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.360 worked there Walmart vessel and walks bot walks towards me 61 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.400 and I start talking. Can you tell me? She just 62 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.879 walks right on by? It was beautiful. It was on 63 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.639 candy camb it will be beautiful. I talked to him, finally 64 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.319 found a man to explained to him. It's just sort 65 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.879 of at the bottom line is it's just falling up. 66 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.319 Everything's falling apart, and the worst it gives and I 67 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.919 don't know how the course, there's the works. No one 68 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.360 cares anymore. You got rod rage, you got supermarket rage. 69 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.919 I was trying to be funny to lay you the story. 70 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.639 Stop the shop and the woman should be mimicking me. 71 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.800 I just said to tools, everyone's angry one another. It's 72 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.120 just crazy, man. It's getting out of hand. I mean, 73 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.040 by the way, and Walmart told they told me they 74 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.839 take the proof of purchase things they stick is off 75 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.519 the high end productor the low wind products and put 76 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.160 them on a high end. So you're going to get 77 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.000 a low wind product six balls and you walk out 78 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.560 and put on a six year old product. And those 79 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.839 things you skin on the wall where it's just check 80 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.160 out our check out our our that's right, herd. I'm 81 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.399 not a computer guy. Check out our menu or whatever. If 82 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.600 you scan that on the compute, the on your cell phone. 83 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.079 Some bad guys are putting their their thing. They're cut 84 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.600 off a little white thing of the carse QR board 85 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.360 or onto that piece covering it, meaning that you'd be 86 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.800 contacting them. It's getting soaken. 87 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.399 Oh no, this look the the idea of all the 88 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.199 identity theft issues, that's all part of it. I get 89 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.959 to the point where I don't want to shop online 90 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.800 because I don't know who's getting my credit cards. And 91 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.959 even I'm going to get to the point where I'm 92 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.160 going to start paying cash at restaurants now, because when 93 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.000 you credit credit card and they walk away and you 94 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.560 have no idea where your credit card goes. 95 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.839 I well, that's what I'm saying I have.

Now, this is the 98 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.240 first spot woman. The woman charged them was I could say, 99 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.360 fifty bucks in charge guy. The woman she gave it to, 100 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.240 she wrote her own tip on it. She wrote down 101 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.000 a hundred dollar tips and she would tell me about 102 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.480 it and she would have gone away with it. But 103 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.319 the woman, you know, she used the used spot. Woman. 104 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.680 But I mean, it's just getting cool. 105 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.399 You're right, I mean, do you want to The thing 106 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.720 that I love is that when you when you when 107 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.519 you order, if you've ever ordered, uh, you know, takeout 108 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.839 at a store, you you you call up a local 109 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.279 restaurant and uh and you're going to order.

It's causing 142 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.439 all of us to have to sit and wait for 143 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.720 a toothpaste tube to be unlocked so we can buy 144 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.519 a toothpaste tube, or three bars of soap or whatever, 145 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.959 the odorant or shaving cream. Ridiculous Alex and Millis Alex. 146 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.279 Next on Nightside, go right ahead, Hey, Dan Greavy, I 147 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.600 didn't notice it too much in the CBS where I 148 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.759 go to, you know, in our town. But I don't 149 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.959 know what what has to be done short of like 150 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.240 you know how banks have red die packs. You know, 151 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.639 if they're perpetrator shoots out the door, you know, and 152 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.039 that way, you know, people a person would red dye 153 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:36.919 would kind of be embarrassed, I don't know. 154 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.360 Embarrassed, but also identified for the police pretty easily something 155 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.360 identify them. 156 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.799 Yeah, yeah, true, Yeah, it doesn't come up very easily. 157 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:47.200 I guess. 158 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.200 The other thing I just was going to mention a 159 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.399 lot of the stores. Now, okay, I understand, you know, 160 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.879 they'll ask you to give to whatever cause happens to be. 161 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.879 So we have the fires, which I did, but every 162 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.200 time I go in there they ask you again, so 163 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.639 they sort of put you on the spot. And friends 164 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.240 of mine told me that not all the money goes 165 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.639 where it's supposed to because a lot of the CEOs 166 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.720 of charities or the people that are running the charity, 167 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.039 you know, they get you know, they get a handsome salary. 168 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.320 So unfortunately, you know, we were. 169 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.840 Talked about that before. It's called it's called administrative costs 170 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.879 within the charity. So for every you know, either one 171 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.240 hundred dollars or whatever you donate, you should always ask 172 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.399 what are the administrative costs and the administrative cost whatever 173 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.320 the charity is. A charity should be giving ninety five 174 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.120 percent of the money that's donated to that charity to 175 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:47.480 the cause and maybe maybe maximum five percent administrative costs. 176 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.759 But you have charities which it's they're giving fifty percent 177 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.679 of the money and fifty percent of administrative cost Those 178 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.080 are bad charities, man, those are You don't want to 179 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.759 be donating to those charities. I get it all the time. 180 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.759 You get the police, the National Police Benevolent Society, and 181 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.559 we're hoping that you might be able to care for 182 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.679 some one hundred dollars. And I'll say, what's your administrative Well, 183 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.039 we really not quite sure. See you later.

If 224 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:10.039 you would we have CVS, we have Walgreens, all those 225 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.840 we have right aid?

We used to have h 229 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.080 the one Darryl Kates Howstone any Key was part of CBS, 230 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:29.360 but it was the Canadian version. 231 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.960 Okay, So so when you go in there, what what? 232 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.320 What items tend to be locked up under. 233 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.559 Lock and key, uh, electric shavers, razor blades. But the 234 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.000 funny thing is that perfumes and colognes are not. 235 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.440 I don't know. So how long does it take you 236 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.320 if you've got to buy some razor blades and and 237 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.360 if they're under lock and key.

We have quite a bit down here. Now, 243 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.120 I would hope that in Canada, you folks are more 244 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.159 honest than we are. And I mean that seriously. I 245 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.879 don't I don't think of Canadians as thieves. 246 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.720 No, we have homeless too. And actually I walked into 247 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:31.240 people are familiar with a store called Giant Tiger. I 248 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.879 walked in, the girl walked in and walked right back 249 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:41.080 out the entrance with a bundle of socks. Okay, and so, 250 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.799 but yeah, it's if that was me, I. 251 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.240 Would have said, come on, let's go buy these socks 252 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.879 for you.

Hey, Wendy, 277 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.919 next night. 278 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:57.799 Right ahead, Wendy. 279 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.000 Hear me, dam I can hear you. Find I'll even 280 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.720 be able to hear you better once that radio is 281 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.200 turned down. 282 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.879 Go right ahead, okay. 283 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.840 Yeah, you know the radio could be distracting. That's why 284 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:15.120 Rob tells you to turn the radio down, and you should. Yeah, yeah, 285 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:15.639 no problem. 286 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.960 But I drop walking into CVS and I've noticed a 287 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.840 lot of stuff is locked up there. Also, I agree 288 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.799 with that. They've a couple of calls before you. 289 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.559 I hate the self check ups. 290 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.840 I don't like them. 291 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.600 I think they take jobs away from people. 292 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.200 I couldn't agree with you more. And in addition to that, 293 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.960 they're really confusing. I mean, you know, for particularly for 294 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.360 older people, I mean you have to sort of like 295 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.960 have this intuition. You know. It's one thing if you 296 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.759 if you've got three items that that have some sort 297 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.440 of a barcode and you go click click click, But 298 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.279 if you get like a bunch of bananas, you gotta 299 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.360 you gotta figure out, well, where how do I find 300 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.559 how do I find the way to bananas? It's basically, 301 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.720 I'm going to the store paying money for for for 302 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:09.120 stuff that you're selling me, and you're making me do 303 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.200 the work to wring the stuff up and put it 304 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.960 in the basket. How about giving me a discount? 305 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:16.159 Yeah? 306 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.200 Really, I mean I used to work all my a 307 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.279 long I used to go on a long time ago 308 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.200 and you checkouts and the only thing is down was 309 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.039 under lock and key was of course like the jewelry. 310 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.360 And I don't have an expensive electronics like, yeah, I 311 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:39.039 can see that I could like that nowadays. Nowadays it 312 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.799 was funny because I wanted a twelve dollars iPhone card 313 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.679 because my my my phone was dying and I'm walking 314 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.039 like things to toes over phone cord. You have the lock. 315 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.440 I was. I was. I said, I was in Target 316 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.320 and I was looking for men's socks and they were 317 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.440 like men's socks were like eight dollars or whatever it 318 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.039 was walking key, Come on, so I get it. Someone 319 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.919 can grab the shock and stick it in their pocket 320 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.519 and nobody's gonna know. Give me a break. I mean 321 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.119 when when I coming back. And Rob was the one 322 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.279 who mentioned this to me before, he said, when when 323 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.200 you got to do self checkout, you're doing the job 324 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.279 for them. They don't have to hire as many clerks. 325 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.480 So it would be like if if you and I 326 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.759 went to the store, let's say, to wherever you know 327 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.279 that has you know, Shaws, which has shelves self checkout, 328 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.960 and there was a snowstorm before you were allowed to 329 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.359 go in and shop, you would they would hand you 330 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.680 a shovel and you'd have to shovel off a little 331 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.839 bit of the walkway of the snowstorm because they didn't 332 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.920 want their employees to do it. We got it all wrong, folks. 333 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.640 We got to start boycotting those stores that have self 334 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.240 checkout or never using them. Refuse to use them, yeah, 335 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.039 I mean they make you use them. 336 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:52.279 Yeah, I mean I. 337 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.799 Wanted nail glue because I used to wear a fake 338 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:58.799 nailse I broke a nail. I want a nail glue 339 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.200 that was singing items five dollars? 340 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:04.279 What the hell? 341 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.640 I mean, Well, again, if it's a small if it's 342 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.400 a small item, they figured that the people who were 343 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.039 dishonest will take it and slip it in their pocket. 344 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.799 That's why, you know, that's why they're doing it. I 345 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.799 don't know, Wendy. It's all moral relativism. It's it's a country. 346 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.759 We used to be an honest country where people were 347 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:29.039 honest with each other. And in stores now some people 348 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:31.720 walk into the stores and say, these are big corporations. 349 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.480 They're big companies. The profit margin of a drug store 350 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.640 or the profit margin of a grocery store is not 351 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.319 that great. 352 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.319 You know, no, no, but I. 353 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.480 Just think we're going I think we're going the wrong direction, 354 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.680 and we got to turn it around. 355 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:49.720 Yeah. 356 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.960 I'm kind of old school when compani things.

I want to 370 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.160 talk about the US Surgeon General's warning about a link 371 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.279 between alcohol, all sorts of alcohol, whether it's wine, beer, spirits, 372 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:43.480 hard liquor whatever, and cancer. Pretty serious stuff. I don't 373 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:47.599 know what's going to influence people, particularly people you know 374 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.119 who enjoy alcohol, because that's part of you know, enjoy 375 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.000 a glass of wine, glass of beer or whatever. It's 376 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.680 part of living life. Back on nights that we've got 377 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.319 the news at the bottom of the era. I got 378 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.079 who's coming up next, we got Mary, I got Patrick 379 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.960 down in DC, and I got Linda. They're all set. 380 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.680 All you gotta do is joint dial either one of 381 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.519 our numbers. We'll get you in six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, 382 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:14.519 thirty six, one, seven nine, No guests tonight, no schedule guest, 383 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.880 You're my guest, dial Away, coming back on Nightside. 384 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:22.319 It's night Side with Dan Ray on. 385 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.599 Boston's news radio. 386 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:32.799 Okay, we are talking tonight about the whole question of 387 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:38.559 as I indicated before, these stores that now are walking 388 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.000 things up. I I just think from a from a 389 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.920 practical point of view, it's driving customers away. I know 390 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:51.759 it's going to drive me away eventually. Uh. And stores 391 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:57.440 are just reacting wrong to this, this spate of again theft, 392 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.279 That's what it is. Just the theft more but it's 393 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.440 moral relativism. People look at it and say, well, I 394 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:08.279 can steal a toothpaste. I mean, look, stores should have 395 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.799 taken a different posture toward it. They should have hired police, 396 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:14.400 details and let the word go for it. You're not 397 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.759 ripping this store off. We got problems in this country 398 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.160 and we got to turn We got to turn it around. 399 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.960 Let's go to Mary and Newton. See what she has 400 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.640 to say. Mary. I don't know if you agree or not, 401 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.839
