WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 1>You get a double stack of stuff today because we

2
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>had a bunch of stuff I really wanted to get

3
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.679
<v Speaker 1>to yesterday, and then some stuff I saw yesterday to

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>get to today, and they're all gonna PB and J

5
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>up for a nice new sandwich. I want to start

6
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 1>with something I was just reading, which is it's really

7
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just crazy if you think about it. So Barry

8
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Weiss wrote, wrote an article yesterday, and I'm just I'm

9
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>just gonna I'm gonna read you one paragraph. It's the

10
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>only paragraph that matters. You can go look it up.

11
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>And you're probably aware of this, even if it's passively,

12
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>but maybe you're not all right. So here here is

13
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>the paragraph. So tumultuous was the first week of Donald

14
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Trump's second term, by the way I see. Then people

15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>are getting mad at Weiss because they think she's insulting

16
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump using the word. You should look up what tumultuous means.

17
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 1>It was tumultuous, arguably by design, by Trump design. And

18
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>then of course you have the media, you know, hissing

19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>and spitting venoms, so it adds to the tumultuous nature

20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>of it. So he had just used the word twice. Yes,

21
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you get a grammar lesson at six oh eight. So

22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>tumultuous was the first week of Donald Trump's second term

23
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>that people have barely noticed A week one that last Tuesday,

24
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>so one week ago from today. He repealed affirmative action

25
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>via executive order. Now, I want you to I want

26
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 1>you to flip your brain to twenty sixteen. Okay, twenty sixteen.

27
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump came in. It was clear that he had a

28
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff he wanted to do that Obviously, the

29
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 1>left was losing their crap over Yeah, so they they

30
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>slow rolled it kind of won. But yeah, he had

31
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>some executive orders, but he really wasn't on par with

32
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>what he just did obviously and what Biden then did.

33
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And they started going issue by issue, and it became

34
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>very clear that if you feed you know in the

35
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>movies where it's like there's the guy, there's the hero

36
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and for whatever reason, there'll be like twenty

37
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>ninjas around him, how do the ninjas attack or how

38
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 1>do the bad guy, you know, the good guy he's

39
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>in the bar and he's surrounded by twenty people, how

40
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>do they choose to fight that guy? Every time without fail,

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they won by one of them. That looks great in

42
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the movies, Jackie Chan can do his stuff and you know,

43
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 1>your good guy stays the winner. But in reality, if

44
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>there's ten of you and you want to kill a guy,

45
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you gotta be a little careful for crossfire

46
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But you're all going at him, okay. And

47
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what Trump was doing. He decided or what they

48
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>decided to do with his administration. And in this series,

49
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>they're the group attacking these things and they decided to

50
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>go one by one. And if you can, if you

51
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 1>can and sit there and think about had one of

52
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>like an issue week one repeal affirmative action, what do

53
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you think that would have looked like between the Democrats,

54
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>between the never Trumpers, between the left, between the activist groups,

55
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the universities. Obviously, because a lot of this has to

56
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>do with that, they would have lost their minds. This

57
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>would be the only story. And I don't know if

58
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>he'd be successful because he also had people around who

59
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>would kind of undermine some of these things. Well it's

60
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>only kind of repealed, but not really. No, he really

61
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>did it, and you really didn't see it come up

62
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>in the news cycle. Did you maybe if he read

63
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a list, you know, there was a couple sites that

64
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>had lists of all the things, all the eos, so

65
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you could go any click and learn about him. But

66
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>when it came time to select which story we're going

67
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to be at the forefront of the news, this isn't

68
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>what they were screaming about. You didn't turn on CNN

69
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and they had affirmative action panels. I'm sure it got

70
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>mentioned because you have a bunch of race baters over there,

71
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>as I'll prove to you. That being said, you also

72
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear about it from the Democrats. See, this is

73
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the this is the deeper news analysis here. That's even

74
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 1>stranger because this was such this was a golden calf

75
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>for them. Man was this was a way they thought

76
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to go ahead and essentially buy votes within a community,

77
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>regardless of the efficacy of it, and regardless of the

78
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>fact that it also made people feel who did earn

79
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>their spot, who happened to be a minority, that people

80
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>would look at them and not assume they earned it.

81
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>So why would Democrats not go into full hysteria mode

82
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 1>over this? Because they realized this is a losing issue

83
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 1>for them. It's part of the larger losing issue. All

84
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 1>the DEI stuff affirmative action is clearly a plank of DEI,

85
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and so they saw an opportunity. This is my opinion,

86
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>but I would venture to I would listen to any

87
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of you explaining to me why I'm wrong, because there's

88
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 1>no other scenario I can think of. The reason Democrats

89
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't go into full meltdown moad over this. They're one

90
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 1>of their golden you know, top tier priorities, is because

91
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody's calculating the numbers, and they realized that the DEI

92
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 1>component an affirmative action largely is now a net negative

93
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 1>to them, which proves they didn't care about it in

94
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the first place. In the same way California, who, I

95
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you could find a group of lawmakers

96
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>who are more all in on the climate change yet

97
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>did nothing to mitigate it. If you honestly believe that,

98
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>then you should be mitigating all day every day. There's

99
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of truths that emerge, and the truth is

100
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>is the Democrats realized now is a time where they

101
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>can let stuff like this that will eventually end up

102
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>in the news and rekindle some of the DEI stuff,

103
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 1>but is hurting them in elections to go away. And

104
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>if anybody ever goes I can't believe it went away.

105
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>They can point over the like, yeah, evil Republicans did it.

106
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't do anything, And you know, you're not really

107
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 1>at that point going to be able to go back

108
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and figure out if they even attempted to do anything.

109
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>You can Google for it, you know how they google

110
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>memory hold stories. It happens all the time where I'm like,

111
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't we have a story about four years ago? If

112
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it was a story that made the Left look bad,

113
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I would go on Google and I'd have a hell

114
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 1>of a time finding it. But if I go to

115
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>other you know, other search engines, I could find it,

116
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 1>and most people use Google and even subconsciously, I guess

117
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you know how it works. So yeah, yeah, that's a

118
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>really good point. But it's an even better point when

119
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>you think it out. Why didn't they say anything because

120
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a loser for them, which shows you it was

121
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 1>all politics it always is. They never believe this, and

122
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 1>also they didn't care the damage that was getting done

123
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>by it. It's evil, it's not as evil as what

124
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they did with poor immigrants. That's the most evil. It's

125
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the most evil thing that Democrats have done since slavery, okay,

126
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't know my full it goes like this.

127
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And admittedly I had to travel. I had to go

128
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to places like Columbia, which I don't know that I'm

129
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to go back. I wanted to go

130
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 1>back to glat to pay or so I don't know

131
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that I could right now. They're a little uh ruh

132
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>down there, which we'll we'll touch on, but you know,

133
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I went down there, and I've been to I've been

134
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>to probably half of Central America and most of North

135
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>South America. And they they literally run ads. I've mentioned this.

136
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>They run ads and like you know those free newspapers,

137
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the shopper papers, those are popular down there, Lamoticia, which

138
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 1>is just the new or the news basically.

139
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Is.

140
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>And they run ads for transit services, escort services, not

141
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of escorts, but escorting people. Unfortunately, though sometimes

142
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it turns into the other kind, I guess, but and

143
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the like some of them had Joe Biden's face on them,

144
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 1>and had you had criminal organizations that were praying on

145
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 1>people who are uneducated, really really poor. But regardless of

146
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>your educational or financial status, the unifying thing in most

147
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>people is they want opportunity for them and their family,

148
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and they don't even need a lot of it, but

149
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>they need enough to survive. And that's before you get

150
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>into the political stuff going on in some of these

151
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 1>countries where you basically had nik Rodwood basically as a dictator. Okay,

152
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Honduras ain't much better. You go to Roatan if you're

153
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a tourist, you don't go to the mainland, or you

154
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>end up like the owners of that bar and Raleigh

155
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a prison in Honduras because the guards cut

156
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>apart at one of those fake Arizona I is tea

157
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 1>safe cans, you know that looks like a drink, but

158
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it's where you hide your money, And because it had

159
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>insulation in it, they assumed it must be cocaine and

160
00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they kept her in a prison down there for a

161
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>couple weeks. That was a big story back in the day.

162
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So you run ads and you tell people you're like, no, no, no,

163
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 1>this is your window right now. Yeah, no, if you

164
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 1>go up there, and then they see video of this stuff,

165
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>because it became the policy of the party, and even

166
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>though they would under explain the complexities of it, they

167
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>saw enough evidence that they took everything that they owned,

168
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they beg borrow and stole, and if that wasn't enough,

169
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they also agreed to things which are horrendous and if

170
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>not paid, could be deadly to criminal organizations, things like

171
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>when I get there, I will prostitute myself. That's how

172
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you end up with what you saw on the Southern

173
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 1>border with that chick they just busted. It was running

174
00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a sex prison thing, and they said, here you go,

175
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>mister cartel or criminal organization or just all around bad guy,

176
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 1>here's everything that I have. Because you were convinced by

177
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 1>what you were seeing on the news of people who

178
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>look like you and sound like you sitting in midtown Manhattan,

179
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>hanging out in a hotel, hanging out on the streets

180
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 1>getting all the groceries man, and you looked at your

181
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>lean to your living in with no heating, no air conditioning,

182
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>no floor in some cases, and you went, it has

183
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to be better than this. You gave them all your money,

184
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 1>and then you got to know Gallas and you found

185
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>out you weren't going to get in. That's why I

186
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 1>said it's okay to be sympathetic with some of this stuff,

187
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:52.759
<v Speaker 1>because now you're there, you have no money, and you

188
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>may even owe because they've quote unquote rendered their service

189
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and their criminals. You may owe whatever you agreed to.

190
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the most evil thing they've done since slavery, because

191
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it's clear when it's deincentivized to do that. Did you

192
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>see the guys from Columbia who were going to walk

193
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 1>back into Mexico and the dudes like, don't go over there, migra, migra.

194
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>It's talking about immigration, don't go and just's and that

195
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>video gets back as well. So if you think that

196
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>policy and politics here in the US didn't contribute to that,

197
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and now you have people that went through everything that

198
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I just told you who were standing, you know, a

199
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 1>half mile outside of our borders, destitute and they don't

200
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. That's where we are. And it

201
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.919
<v Speaker 1>also explains why countries like Honduras, whose president is now

202
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 1>decided is the latest leader who wants to get into

203
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 1>a tiff with Trump. It also is why they don't

204
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 1>want those folks back because they are not a net

205
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>positive from a financial standpoint, even with the slim quote

206
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>unquote safety nets they have, the you know, their universal

207
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 1>health programs, they're caa hostile programs which you're better off

208
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 1>going into the woods finding a leaf to rub on

209
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you man, and now this with the affirmative action. Believe

210
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 1>in something, man or nothing at all, I believe is

211
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the phrase, because this, this would have been your pet

212
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 1>project eight years ago and now you couldn't care less

213
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>six twenty hang on why like because this is one

214
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of the one you're in the marble side and two

215
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, there's been a lot of hatred for

216
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>any of the Captain America movies. I told you I

217
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 1>thought the one was too busy, but that was it.

218
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So Anthony Mackie is the actor's name. I believe he is.

219
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you saw if you've seen the trailer,

220
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously they were running it during the during the football

221
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 1>and everything. If you look at it, he is now

222
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Captain America but with wings and all of that stuff.

223
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, And we've talked about this on the air.

224
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Ross is in the camp that Steve Rogers is Captain America. Okay,

225
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>So there there will be people who are in that

226
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>camp are not going to be excited because it is

227
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a transition to the character. It's not a swap per

228
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 1>se right, where they just pretend that that's Steve Rogers.

229
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Now right, it's understand this cannon, I just don't like it,

230
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 3>so yeah, I'm going to pass on it.

231
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, yeah all right. So uh so at that

232
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 1>point you have that, you also have the death to

233
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Jews crowd, who's mad because one of the characters is

234
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>an IDF soldier and is not immediately murdered or something.

235
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but that should be the only stuff

236
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 1>working against you, because for the most part, Captain America

237
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 1>movies have have been at least popcorn entertainment kind of

238
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, they've done really well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

239
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>So why so he's at a comic con and he said, what.

240
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was gonna get the audio for Steven on Thursday.

241
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk about it then. So no, rush,

242
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>let's just let's just yeah.

243
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 3>So he's got like some sort of press junk it

244
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>and he said, you know, in his in his opinion,

245
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Captain America doesn't really represent America.

246
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, what's the name of the character Captain America? Oh,

247
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I see, I see, I am part of a veteran,

248
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 1>do we know in the movie, Yes, I mean just

249
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Captain America, the character he is. Oh well, okayd he

250
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>was he just was he a peacetime veteran not to

251
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to draw divisions here. Or did he

252
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>get did he gets shot at a few times? Okay?

253
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Was it like a big enemy or do we know?

254
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not seeing this piece of crap movie. There's no way.

255
00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you talk? Why? Why? Why the unforced air there?

256
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm an old fogie here like this crowd

257
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.720
<v Speaker 3>is captain at sake to Miles Morales is Miles Morales crowd,

258
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 3>and it's I just can't, I can't do it.

259
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Got it? Those are the fun nerd fights on this, Yeah, right,

260
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody's They're just like, this isn't for me.

261
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 3>And if you disagree, it's fine. Yes, I'm just not

262
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 3>going to see it because I'm old. Get off.

263
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I was on the here's where I was. I would

264
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>have seen it. I don't know. I wouldn't go to

265
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 1>a theater to see it, but as soon as it

266
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>popped up it probably would have got me to do

267
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like the month of Disney plus or whatever or where

268
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe it went somewhere else first. I don't know, but

269
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have seen it just because every other

270
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 1>not every other movie, Like I remember I mentioned I

271
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>want to go to the movies last week, and at

272
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.519
<v Speaker 1>this theater, it's got like nine million screens. I couldn't

273
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 1>find a single movie I wanted to see that, A

274
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>single one I would have. I would rather sit in

275
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>my hotel room when I was because I was over

276
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 1>in Greensboro broadcasting. Probably sit in my hotel room, then

277
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>go because I had that afternoon free, then go pay.

278
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, I wasn't gonna break me just for that

279
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 1>entertainment because it was so bad, so I would I

280
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 1>would have probably seen this in some capacity. And now

281
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 1>if the only way I'll see it now is if

282
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it's on in a room I walk in, and it

283
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 1>would be rude to turn it off. I don't understand

284
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>these cats, man. That's why you got to make your

285
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 1>own fun. That's why you gotta go to like bourbon

286
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>tastings and stuff. See that won't let you down. And

287
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>it didn't. Like I said, we had, we had two

288
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty people ticket to show up there. I

289
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 1>want to share just a couple of things. I met

290
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 1>some listeners, obviously a couple couple, a couple of you.

291
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I knew you've come to other events, but a lot

292
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 1>of new faces there love that I ended up. I

293
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 1>really wasn't supposed to MC, but it kind of worked

294
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.839
<v Speaker 1>out with the way that it was going on, and

295
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I just I want to There was one person, all right,

296
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna get dusty in this room. Okay, I'm just

297
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 1>warning you. It's gonna get dusty. But there's a couple

298
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>things that happen when you do this job. One, the

299
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 1>amount of people who sing the iHeartRadio theme to me

300
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.880
<v Speaker 1>at gas stations if I'm wearing any logos or I'm

301
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 1>driving on the station vehicles is wild. In the Triad.

302
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. In the Tryad they do it

303
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 1>so much. Pop into his sheets, ladies checking me out,

304
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and I had to we have a pullover jacket because

305
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a billion degrees blow zero last week,

306
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 1>and she's just like, I Heart Radio. Like that's one thing.

307
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>But the other thing is people share stuff with you,

308
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes to the point of uncomfortability. You all need some filters,

309
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes they share stuff with you, and you kind

310
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of you realize that you're going to be part of that,

311
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>and so you have a responsibility. Like I joke about everything,

312
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 1>but you can't joke about everything. And this very nice

313
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>woman was at the event, and the manager of the

314
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 1>hotel said, hey, she she'd He gave me a little

315
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>rundown of what they had been talking about because she's

316
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 1>seated next to one of the managers there. You know,

317
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a standard ballroom set up with the you know,

318
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the tables. Everybody grab a seat, a couple reserved at

319
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 1>the front for the people speaking. And I didn't ask

320
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:19.160
<v Speaker 1>her if i'd use her name, so I won't. And

321
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>here's what had happened. So her husband loved these things,

322
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>love the bourbon tastings, the you know, those kinds of events,

323
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 1>and so when he heard the tickets were available, he's like, honey,

324
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>we're going, and so he bought tickets and then he died.

325
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 1>And she made the decision because this was one of,

326
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of their favorite things to do, to

327
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>go to things, not necessarily the bourbon tasting component, but

328
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>just you know, do fun little stuff. They were getting

329
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 1>to that age, you know, the kids are out of

330
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the house, you're doing the thing, go out and have

331
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>some fun. And he unexpectedly passed away. And he loved

332
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>cars and motorcycles, and so did she, and we talked

333
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>about it for you know, four or five minutes, just

334
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 1>because I kept having to go up and host and

335
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 1>and so we got to toast her husband at this thing.

336
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 1>And it was really dusty in that room too. Just

337
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of amazing people down there. And again the

338
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the folks who hosted us the hotel is I mean,

339
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 1>that is really impressive. And you know, and I will

340
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Speaker 1>say this, they gave me. They did give me a

341
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 1>little room upgrade. But they but the pictures and I

342
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.519
<v Speaker 1>posted them on the Twitter. If you scroll back through Friday,

343
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the shot from the balcony of the room looking

344
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 1>out over the water there looking out over the tiki bar.

345
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 1>They have like a floating tiki bar which was covered

346
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in snow, which was kind of kind of funny actually

347
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 1>because it's a tiki bar, it should be covered in snow.

348
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>And just big wrap round patio. They have the guy

349
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:55.240
<v Speaker 1>who owns the hotel, which, by the way, I found

350
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>out he's from Wyoming. He's the only like like five

351
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 1>of us, five of us that I've ever met in

352
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.119
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. For Wyoming. He has he bought one of

353
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 1>those old wood in like let's say it's a fairy

354
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a tax like a water taxi but it's all

355
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 1>the polished wood and it sits in front. I mean,

356
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 1>it's just what a great place. And thank you to

357
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.039
<v Speaker 1>everyone who came out for them, because if you, I know,

358
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.319
<v Speaker 1>I had a great time, and yes, spirits were consumed,

359
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and they had really good spirits. I think I posted

360
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 1>a picture of one of them there. It's this. It's

361
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a new brand. It's like a a mom and pop

362
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>startup called Wilderness and it's a heavy Rye and I

363
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 1>like ryeber. I like Rye whiskeys too, especially if I'm

364
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna mix something, you know, bourbons rye whiskies, but to

365
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>get more of a bourbony taste with more Rye in it.

366
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed that. So that's also what that stuff's about.

367
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>So you know, find a new stuff, getting with folks,

368
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to get sure if you ever do the whiskey

369
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 1>booklets or you got to taste all of them, get

370
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 1>a stamped. They're really into that. And they had some

371
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 1>dudes who had completed like the big book there, which

372
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 1>is not easy. So they're getting their challenge coins and

373
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>some stuff with that. It's just it's a good it's

374
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>its own little culture too, and so I really appreciate,

375
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 1>because I've got to tell you, with all that snow

376
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that came through, I was really nervous that we were

377
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to fill that room. And I

378
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 1>think they said they probably could do. They can expand

379
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 1>one side of it, and they think they can maybe

380
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 1>get twenty five more in there. But this thing's already

381
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>brimming at peak, and they think if there wouldn't have

382
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 1>been snow, it probably would have. So again, thank you

383
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't see Boston Paul down there though, missed out on

384
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a good time or Boston Paul did? Yeah, go ahead,

385
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Boston Paul. Yeah, you're on the air.

386
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Brother, Well it took you two days to recover from

387
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.119
<v Speaker 4>one night of drinking. No, are you kidding me? Getting

388
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 4>old man?

389
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Dude. Yeah, there was a litany of both technical and

390
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>travel and also dude, it.

391
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 4>Was Hey, I can't believe how many people are so

392
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 4>infatuated over the snow on the beach. I mean, I

393
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 4>grew up with it. There's nothing, there's not what's the

394
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 4>big deal?

395
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, you're going to pull the New Yorker Wow

396
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.759
<v Speaker 1>back where I was. Do you want to do that?

397
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna refer you to the

398
00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 1>new committee chair who gets to vet everyone who moves

399
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>into North Carolina. I found a dude.

400
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 4>One other thing, did you see Milania out there in California?

401
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

402
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 4>This does she not look like the professional Secret Service

403
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 4>agent protecting the president?

404
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.200
<v Speaker 2>All what?

405
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 1>She got an edge time around. Look, she had an

406
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>edge on the inaguration with that hat. She's got an

407
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 1>edge around. I wouldn't mess with it.

408
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, did you see do you think she had double

409
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 4>RUSI's under there on a swing?

410
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Is that would that be allowed? I suppose it would

411
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 1>be allowed, right, of course it would be.

412
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 4>She's the first lady. She can do whatever she wants.

413
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but she's not the president.

414
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah, so he you know, he needs protection,

415
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.200
<v Speaker 4>so she took over. She's top dog.

416
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Well again she she I don't want to stay scary

417
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>because people will misconstrue that. But she's got an edge

418
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to her this time around. And you know what, that's

419
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 1>because the moonbats radicalized this woman. She Remember, she was

420
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>content to do nothing, and then the first time she

421
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 1>did something, she decorated the White House and it looked amazing, right,

422
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 1>it was, you know, it looked amazing. And they're just

423
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 1>like oh my gosh, she's destroyed it. And then you

424
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 1>remember that weird Broadway dance number the Bidens did the

425
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.559
<v Speaker 1>first year and everybody's like, this is amazing and it

426
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:54.599
<v Speaker 1>looked like garbage, like that's where it started. And then

427
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 1>they're digging through a panty drawer and and it's all

428
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 1>in man, so, oh yeah, it is on. I'm here

429
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 1>for it.

430
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 4>So I can't wait for the Vogue and all of

431
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 4>them asks to be for her to be on their cover,

432
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 4>and she says no.

433
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 1>I hope she does or she doesn't. And then she

434
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>wears a dress with some hidden meaning that they only

435
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>explained after they printed, where she's making fun of whin

436
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 1>tour or whoever the publisher is. So we'll see.

437
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I was not.

438
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 4>She looked like the top ducks. He could serve agents

439
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.920
<v Speaker 4>this week, all.

440
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, boss to Paul, have a good one. Stand back

<v Speaker 1>This dude, this is This video is hilarious for a

444
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of reasons. One, obviously, the dude's delivery, but that's

445
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 1>how he talks, that's his delivery. And then somebody in

446
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the comments wrote, the auto captions have to be absolutely

447
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and so I turned them on because i't usually have

448
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>them on Twitter, and they're not wrong. Trying to figure out,

449
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, automatically what this dude's saying, but he very

450
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 1>succinctly puts into words what many people have sent an

451
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>email or commented on over the years. When you know,

452
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>people like Boston Paul are like Dah beachnow Man, except

453
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Boston Paul's joking. Most people aren't. So we'll share that

454
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>with you coming up here on the cacoday radio program

455
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:27.079
<v Speaker 1>Body positive influencer, fat influencer. I've heard them refer to

456
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 1>like that chick who harasses the airlines decided to go

457
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ahead and order herself a lift, a standard lift. So

458
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.279
<v Speaker 1>you know how it works. You got all these different

459
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:47.799
<v Speaker 1>choices depending on where you are. There's even more choices,

460
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.400
<v Speaker 1>like if you're in a big, big city, like if

461
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you go to DC or New York, it's like fifty

462
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 1>different variations of this stuff. But the standard ones, if

463
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>you go to a Lyft or Uber, they're basically the same.

464
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Right you have economy or the regular you have. Sometimes

465
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>you can get like upgrade a slight like a premium car,

466
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.079
<v Speaker 1>but not a black because blacks where you get into

467
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the real you know, limo feel to it or big

468
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>suv feel to it. And then you have Uber XL. Right,

469
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 1>so if you're going to the airport it's a family

470
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 1>of four with luggage, you want to order an XCEL

471
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.759
<v Speaker 1>or if you're like me and they have the more

472
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:29.599
<v Speaker 1>leg room, I can't reme with the cly. I suppose

473
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.079
<v Speaker 1>you just open Uber on my phone. Here, what that

474
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>class is, I'll tend to lean into that. Yeah, here

475
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.759
<v Speaker 1>we go. Yeah, they have Uber x is the regular.

476
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 1>They have Uber XL. I'm just looking at the different

477
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 1>choices here, Uber XL. They don't have oh that comfort. Yeah,

478
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 1>that's what they call it here. It is comfort, and

479
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 1>actually it's my default because the last one I use

480
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 1>was comfort, and I like it because you get more

481
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>leg room. And you know, if you're like me and

482
00:27:55.960 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 1>you're six foot are over, I'll pay the extra dollar

483
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and a half or whatever it is if it's if

484
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it's the amount of right there, and then you got black.

485
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 1>They have Uber pets is a category I don't know.

486
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that that must be? I hadn't seen that. So

487
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 1>those are people like you and your dog got to

488
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:16.759
<v Speaker 1>go to the vet. You don't have a car, and

489
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do the uber thing. Great, all right, you

490
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.839
<v Speaker 1>got decisions, and you use those decisions responsibly. So this

491
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>woman orders the standard small car and then she shows

492
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 1>up two or the guy shows up. She's filming, right,

493
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.519
<v Speaker 1>she's got the phone. It looks like she's holding the

494
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>phone in her hand at waste level. And ironically you

495
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 1>never see her. You just see this kind of upward

496
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.559
<v Speaker 1>angle through the window and partially you see the face

497
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:52.279
<v Speaker 1>of the of the woman and she is she's mad

498
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>because the driver says, no, I'm sorry, I can't ma'am.

499
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 1>And again what he should have said is there's I

500
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:00.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you're gonna get a seatbelt, and at

501
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that point he's got it out. All right, there do

502
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this just so yeah, just so you know here, all right,

503
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna send this woman's photo to Ross. He has

504
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 1>not seen it on its way to your phone. Might

505
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 1>take a little extra time. It's a big I'm sure

506
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 1>it's digitally big. They fired him, he he he, and

507
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:32.920
<v Speaker 1>they I think they got mad him for suggesting that

508
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>she should have called an excel. She's like and he's

509
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>driving one of the small he's only one of the

510
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>very smallest older Mercedes, you know, like entry level Mercedes.

511
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 1>The back seats on those things are really tiny.

512
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Like, so this guy drives up and she's standing there.

513
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:52.880
<v Speaker 3>What is he supposed to do because.

514
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing a photo and I'm gonna retweet the tweet

515
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.240
<v Speaker 1>with her photo in it, So like if you.

516
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 3>Can't fit in the car, what is he supposed to do?

517
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Well? Yeah, well, she claims in the thing, I didn't

518
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>send it to you because we got enough audio. But

519
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.319
<v Speaker 1>she claims in the thing, I just reposted the photo

520
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 1>there at Casey on the radio. She claims that her

521
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>friend has a Mercedes and she's able to fit in it.

522
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.839
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know about that.

523
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

524
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 1>The the Trump administration handled that North Carolina visit on Friday.

525
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Pete Kellner and I don't really text a

526
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 1>lot because he has he has an Android, right, and

527
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>so like as soon as I want to send him

528
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a picture or something halftime, it screws up. But him

529
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and I were actually chatting about it, and like there

530
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 1>there were there there were a few of these things.

531
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:53.039
<v Speaker 1>But here's what I wrote him. I said, letting the

532
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:57.960
<v Speaker 1>people actually affected speak during the press conferences is masterclass.

533
00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. I don't just that for Trump,

534
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.559
<v Speaker 1>but you have to do it right. So if if

535
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna bring up regular people, but those regular people

536
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 1>are campaign workers, NGO folks or you know, activists, right, activists,

537
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 1>If they're activists, they're not regular people. Democrats do this

538
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Republicans do it sometimes, and Democrats used

539
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to be better at not doing it all the time.

540
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And now it's like, let's bring up this woman and

541
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 1>then you find you know, talk on immigration, right, Oh,

542
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:35.319
<v Speaker 1>it's very hard. And then you find out that she's

543
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 1>worked for Larraza for ten years and and people see

544
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that stuff and they go, oh, well whatever. But so

545
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 1>they go up there and they were smart enough to

546
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>not just have Trump talk. Obviously, the fact that he's

547
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 1>showing up and he's saying things like, well, I guess

548
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna bypass FEMA and directly give you guys the money.

549
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>When all of a sudden, the Army of engineers is

550
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.319
<v Speaker 1>everywhere every I kept. I have so many posts on

551
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:10.559
<v Speaker 1>social media this weekend with pictures of army corps in

552
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>there hoping to clean up. Remember, people are being told

553
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>not to clean up their own waterways that may run

554
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 1>through their property. So when they're told that and yet

555
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't nothing's happening, people are mad. So now you

556
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>got the Army Corps in there, they're doing this stuff.

557
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Obviously they're going to do they have the equipment and

558
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>access to you know, be able to do that rather quickly.

559
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>But like people start feeling hopeful again. And then you

560
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>put them on stage, the people who are not campaign workers,

561
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>people who are not activists themselves, people who are just people.

562
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you it's very very effective.

563
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 6>I've been fighting with femas since day one. Our community

564
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 6>there's like thirty two homes. We don't have a ride

565
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:02.839
<v Speaker 6>in a bridge or drive them our neighbor's property. You know.

566
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.720
<v Speaker 6>I went to EMS and I said, look, my concern

567
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.559
<v Speaker 6>is if we have a fire or we have an

568
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 6>emergency out here, you'ren't going to get to us. You

569
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.920
<v Speaker 6>can't get those big trucks up here. And I've called

570
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 6>and called and called FEMA, and you know, I said,

571
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:23.519
<v Speaker 6>it's this happened on September twenty seventh, that's four months ago.

572
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 6>Well for us, today is still September twenty seventh. You know,

573
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:31.119
<v Speaker 6>we haven't had help. And so when I talked to FEMA,

574
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 6>I'll explaining the road and the bridge, and they send

575
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.759
<v Speaker 6>me a letter that tells me to basically fix it

576
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 6>and send in my receipts and they'll refund me some money.

577
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm only going to have a road and bridge that honestly,

578
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 6>the bridge itself is probably going to be three hundred

579
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 6>thousand dollars in the road could be close to that also,

580
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 6>because we have to have the community has to have

581
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.960
<v Speaker 6>big boulders brought in. We're not a rich community. We

582
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:55.799
<v Speaker 6>can't fix it ourselves.

583
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 5>You know. It's just.

584
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 6>And as far as like house repairs, I'm still pending.

585
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.599
<v Speaker 6>I can't get money from FEMA until I fix the

586
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 6>road and bridge and send in my proof that it's

587
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 6>fixed and everything. It's just it's been a nightmare and

588
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.760
<v Speaker 6>I totally feel like that we have been forgotten. If

589
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 6>it had not been for our fellow American citizens who

590
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 6>stepped up to help us, I don't know what we

591
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 6>would have done.

592
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I know that's a long cut, that's a minute, minute

593
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:30.639
<v Speaker 1>and a half of audio, but you hear all of

594
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the compounding problems, and it's these these weird catch twenty

595
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:39.679
<v Speaker 1>two's like where she said, I can't get there's no

596
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 1>way we could get ems services or fire services back here.

597
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>So I call FEMA, and FEMA says, we got to

598
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.639
<v Speaker 1>fix you. Gotta fix the road first and then we'll

599
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.320
<v Speaker 1>certify something something will reimburse you for it. But she

600
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>can't get trucks in to fix the road, let alone

601
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>carry the cost of something like that, and so she's

602
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 1>just she's in a doom loop at that point? What

603
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.280
<v Speaker 1>do you do? And people, I'm sure some did, but

604
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are the verge of given up.

605
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 1>They would have forcibly moved, sold their land for whatever

606
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>they could get, which would probably be a pittance, and

607
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and just I'm not going to deal with this. I'm out.

608
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 1>And I know some people go, oh, well, that's the plan,

609
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:25.239
<v Speaker 1>so they could buy the lithium. That's not what I'm

610
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I'm talking about is just humans reaching their

611
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>breaking point and this stuff and Trump can talk about it,

612
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's far more powerful for this woman to stand

613
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.039
<v Speaker 1>up there and do it. And the sad thing is

614
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw very few uses of those people's testimonies, Like

615
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like a church, they're testifying a church there. It's

616
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw very few uses of that with some of

617
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.719
<v Speaker 1>the more mainstream media, which is very unfortunate. Some of

618
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.079
<v Speaker 1>them did, and that's good and they should because people

619
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 1>can relate to that something is broken. So if you

620
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>are I don't know, let's say, hypothetically you're Josh Stein. Okay,

621
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.880
<v Speaker 1>not hypothetically, and they're going to stick a camera in

622
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:12.800
<v Speaker 1>your face on this issue when this when the president's

623
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.599
<v Speaker 1>here saying this stuff and people, the citizens out there

624
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are on the stage on video saying this stuff. Shut

625
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:24.880
<v Speaker 1>up or go hey, I'm just I'm so glad that

626
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:28.400
<v Speaker 1>we're here again. I gave Stein credit because his office

627
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>did aid in the hotel thing, which never should have happened.

628
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>But what are you doing here? Is Josh Stein doing

629
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.639
<v Speaker 1>a little quick interview literally while this is going on.

630
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 7>Well, the President came here a couple of times, the

631
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 7>FEMA director Factory who lived here.

632
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I know that those folks worked hard.

633
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:50.840
<v Speaker 7>That doesn't mean we can't be frustrated with some things

634
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 7>that happened, because it never goes as quickly or as

635
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.960
<v Speaker 7>well as we wanted to. But it's all about what

636
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.239
<v Speaker 7>can we do today going forward. I've been governor for

637
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.719
<v Speaker 7>about three weeks now. This is my fifth trip to

638
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.880
<v Speaker 7>Western North Carolina. This is a top priority of mine.

639
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 7>I want the western people Western Carolina Carolina to know

640
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:10.199
<v Speaker 7>they will not be forgotten.

641
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 8>Do you have a message for you?

642
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Will here?

643
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 7>They will not be forgotten. The people West North Carolina,

644
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.400
<v Speaker 7>you won't be forgotten. I've been here now five times

645
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:21.400
<v Speaker 7>since I was sworn in. This is the first destination

646
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 7>of the president since he was sworn in. I think

647
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:26.480
<v Speaker 7>folks here should know they are a priority for both

648
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:27.880
<v Speaker 7>the federal and state government.

649
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So the FEMA director practically lived there, taught. Why didn't

650
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you talk about what was successful? Because I don't know

651
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>what it is? And this isn't me ragging on all

652
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:42.039
<v Speaker 1>FEMA employees, it's not. Most of these issues are issues

653
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.119
<v Speaker 1>with the structure of the organization, the fact that it's

654
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.519
<v Speaker 1>a governmental organization. Yes, people, except that there's going to

655
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.960
<v Speaker 1>be certain things that are frustrating because it's a frustrating

656
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a disaster, right, nothing smooth.

657
00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:58.920
<v Speaker 5>But what.

658
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Are you talking about, Governor? What did FEMA do well?

659
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that you couldn't point a single thing

660
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:11.280
<v Speaker 1>out other than the occupancy of a really nice hotel room,

661
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.360
<v Speaker 1>over in Cherokee by the FEMA director. Some of those

662
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:19.239
<v Speaker 1>rooms are very nice, you know, I know, pound sand

663
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on this stuff. What was the win? What was the

664
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.440
<v Speaker 1>wind where everybody got together as a community to stand

665
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in line for propane? Oh, they were bonding. That's good, okay.

666
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Or when they built that tiny home community was zero

667
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 1>percent crime rate? That was carbon neutral at the Hickory

668
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Airport because nobody could live in them. Is that what

669
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:42.159
<v Speaker 1>you mean? Because I know you like the green stuff.

670
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.199
<v Speaker 1>How about remember the guys in the helicopter went and

671
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:49.719
<v Speaker 1>rescued half of a family, and then when they tried

672
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to go rescue the other half, they're like, nah, you

673
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:54.639
<v Speaker 1>can't do that. Well, you know what, you know, what's

674
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a loud to annoy and ross? You ever had a

675
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.320
<v Speaker 1>helicopter fly over you? That's noise and stuff. Not the

676
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.559
<v Speaker 1>black ones that follow us around, but like you know,

677
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the old school ones. Hurts your ears. Man, who wants

678
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that flying over where their house used to be and

679
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.639
<v Speaker 1>their tent is now nobody? And the fact that you

680
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.760
<v Speaker 1>had FEMA management out there who was trying to speed

681
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the process up, but the way they went about it

682
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is to skip homes with Trump signs according to that

683
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:23.719
<v Speaker 1>woman who was fired for it, So you must believe

684
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:26.280
<v Speaker 1>there's some veracity to it. And we saw the we

685
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 1>saw the receipts helped me out here, but I want

686
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:33.599
<v Speaker 1>to be fair. So here's what we're going to do.

687
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>A woman we've had on the show several times, obviously,

688
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this is her, this is her thing. She has been

689
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>at the forefront of what's going on out there in

690
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.199
<v Speaker 1>western North Carolina, Cassie Clark. I wanted her to come

691
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.960
<v Speaker 1>on to talk about the FEMA wins and the Trump

692
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:58.440
<v Speaker 1>visit and Governor Governor Stein, Governor Barbecue as I called him.

693
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I think in the one tweet I can't side. I

694
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>keep going back and forth with Governor short round short Stack.

695
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Somebody suggested or Barbecue because he loves taking pictures of

696
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.880
<v Speaker 1>him meeting barbecue. And it was funny as I was

697
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 1>driving to and from Beaufort for that event. You go by,

698
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:15.199
<v Speaker 1>you go by Wilbur's there, right, you go by where

699
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you go and uh, you had the big sign there

700
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, if you're if you're if there's

701
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.639
<v Speaker 1>a barbecue trail, which there is, Wilburs is upon it

702
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and Josh Stein love posting photos of him meeting at Wilbur's. Man,

703
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not knocking on Wilbur's at all. I just want

704
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:33.159
<v Speaker 1>to be very clear. And then I wanted Wilburs. So

705
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Speaker 1>what I was gonna say is I almost stopped, but

706
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I was on a little bit of a time crunch.

707
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 1>So Wilburs should pay just Stein Marketing or advertise with us.

708
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.039
<v Speaker 1>You can send Ross and I free barbecue too. We

709
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>will be okay. So yeah, well we'll chat with Cassie

710
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that's coming up at eight oh five. But let me

711
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:56.800
<v Speaker 1>move on to this I mentioned I saw this video

712
00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:02.440
<v Speaker 1>of this guy who, honestly, I think I think he

713
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.679
<v Speaker 1>needs to be the North Carolina borders are. Man, do

714
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.119
<v Speaker 1>you want to come to North Carolina? You gotta you

715
00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:10.119
<v Speaker 1>gotta sit on the porch and drink some shine with

716
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:12.639
<v Speaker 1>this dude for an hour and then he'll render a decision.

717
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm laughing my butt off the whole time.

718
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.719
<v Speaker 9>I've seen a video today about this, Uh the New

719
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:21.440
<v Speaker 9>York try to explain why uh they be complaining when

720
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:24.159
<v Speaker 9>they moved outside, didn't want specify by North Carolina.

721
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:27.599
<v Speaker 1>By the way, listening to him, what do you which

722
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 1>county do you think he's from, because I don't know.

723
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say in the video. What are we picking up?

724
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>We think of down east? Probably huh uh? How down

725
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:46.320
<v Speaker 1>east like South Carolina, border down or like Dupelin. That's

726
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a that'll be a fun thought exercise.

727
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:53.320
<v Speaker 9>And I found the explanation for the complaints, uh, quite

728
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 9>intriguing because they bull who me, y'all let me tell

729
00:41:56.639 --> 00:41:58.960
<v Speaker 9>you about it. So you know some of the complaint well,

730
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:01.119
<v Speaker 9>you know, talking about why thank you close up so early?

731
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:03.039
<v Speaker 9>And wyat things so far away?

732
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:04.199
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

733
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:09.480
<v Speaker 9>I can't speak for them city folk in Greensboro, Rider, Charlotte, whatnot.

734
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.400
<v Speaker 9>But around here where I'm from, the Rue, North Carolina,

735
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:16.599
<v Speaker 9>that's where it's always been, where it's always been. Know that, man,

736
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.519
<v Speaker 9>I'm good with it. No we having to go to

737
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 9>twenty mile to go to the store, especially when I

738
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:24.400
<v Speaker 9>was younger, Grandma sold were going to town.

739
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>That was the turn.

740
00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 9>We're going to town.

741
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh shoot, I gotta thrown some shoes. Now we're going

742
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to go on to town.

743
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.599
<v Speaker 9>That's where it was talking about why we ain't got

744
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.840
<v Speaker 9>no bow daggers Boa daggers. I mean, the name is selspy.

745
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.800
<v Speaker 9>You just ask your own question. We need Bowdagga's for

746
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 9>a crime, and then it we got some of the

747
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 9>best hole in the wall restaurants in these gas stations,

748
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.840
<v Speaker 9>some of the best bidders in the county. Every We

749
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:48.800
<v Speaker 9>don't need none of that.

750
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>We got our own version of bow Daggers. Enjoy that

751
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 1>find you want, you gonna enjoy it. I love this

752
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:58.280
<v Speaker 1>guy man because you know what, here's the thing. Obviously,

753
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.119
<v Speaker 1>his delivery with the accent, you know, that's gonna catch

754
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. He's drinking moonshine, he's gotta you know,

755
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>he's got a mason jar in his hand with some

756
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:09.519
<v Speaker 1>sort of liquid in it, and he's just wrapping on

757
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:12.960
<v Speaker 1>his porch. You know, just hey, and he and but

758
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.559
<v Speaker 1>he very succinctly identifies a lot of the frustrations people

759
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:18.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like. Don't get me wrong, if you live in

760
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.639
<v Speaker 1>any state and people from another place come in and

761
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>they try to challenge what you consider a norm people,

762
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, that irritates folks, maybe not to the extent

763
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.199
<v Speaker 1>to oversay something, but they're like, well, you got to

764
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:32.960
<v Speaker 1>mess with a good thing. That's why we live here.

765
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:36.800
<v Speaker 1>That's even outside of the political stuff. So I think

766
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:39.039
<v Speaker 1>he does a very good job and I love the

767
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:45.119
<v Speaker 1>way he pronounces bodega, oh deega? What is that? But

768
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>he ain't done how.

769
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:48.159
<v Speaker 9>They talk about the agrissy. You know how we speak

770
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:50.760
<v Speaker 9>egg by that we nod the cap, say what's up?

771
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:51.039
<v Speaker 7>Head?

772
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:52.519
<v Speaker 1>And how they do?

773
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.239
<v Speaker 9>But it's saying like when they like something, they aggressive

774
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:56.639
<v Speaker 9>with it. They're gonna talk jump about it.

775
00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Now.

776
00:43:57.800 --> 00:43:58.280
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

777
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.960
<v Speaker 9>About all that right here while I'm from you got

778
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 9>some an on your chest, he better bring it to

779
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 9>the door. Yeah, you know, time out, God. We say

780
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.800
<v Speaker 9>we like something, we like it, we say what we mean,

781
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 9>mean what we say. That's the cold down here, shoot,

782
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:13.679
<v Speaker 9>and what really burned my butter beans?

783
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Once you time out?

784
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:17.159
<v Speaker 3>We behind?

785
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:20.599
<v Speaker 9>Now we ain't behind, just a slow pace, I reckon.

786
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 9>That's why you moved down here for that slower pace.

787
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:23.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

788
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:27.519
<v Speaker 9>Why we still speak deadboy, we still sit down, sit

789
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.440
<v Speaker 9>on the poach rapper taste. You know what I'm saying.

790
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:31.960
<v Speaker 9>I spend more time outside.

791
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:33.840
<v Speaker 1>On my post I do in my own house. It's

792
00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:35.840
<v Speaker 1>just that's how it is speaking to people. That's how

793
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.639
<v Speaker 1>we roll. While we ain't got a good pizza.

794
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Now pizzas pizza? No, you know to me piece.

795
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 9>Of something that you eat. We ain't gotten now, Like

796
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:49.360
<v Speaker 9>I said before, we interested in some bills on time,

797
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.440
<v Speaker 9>I get a fish fried pig, pig.

798
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:52.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

799
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:53.960
<v Speaker 9>There's some good eating right there.

800
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:57.000
<v Speaker 1>So his response to New Yorker is, pizza is what

801
00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.639
<v Speaker 1>you eat when you ain't got nothing, which has got

802
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to be a daggered through the heart. But then he

803
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:06.480
<v Speaker 1>talks about some really delicious stuff. All right, one more

804
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:07.360
<v Speaker 1>real quick clip here.

805
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.400
<v Speaker 9>You know I ain't got no pride with no Yankee,

806
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 9>nobody had moved, no care line, no prime in town.

807
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:15.199
<v Speaker 9>Long the understand, don't try to tying no caroline in

808
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:18.719
<v Speaker 9>New York en finna had it and enjoin, no CareLine

809
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:21.320

810
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.199

00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:24.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm good with you.

00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you have a good day.

814
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.079
<v Speaker 9>I'm finishing out here. Oh cram, they're good all right,

815
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:31.320
<v Speaker 9>now that we're good.

816
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious. Just that's the interview process. And as one

817
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of the commenters on Twitter pointed out, uh, if if

818
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:44.559
<v Speaker 1>you haven't turned on the auto captions, I don't have

819
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:47.199
<v Speaker 1>them on ever. But if they're not on, turning on

820
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:49.599
<v Speaker 1>for this video and then listen to them and watch

821
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.679
<v Speaker 1>the poor algorithm or the computer try to put words

822
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.039
<v Speaker 1>on the screen. It's really funny. But he's not wrong.

823
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 1>He not wrong, So kudos to that. Yeah, let's let's

824
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.199
<v Speaker 1>get that video around, right. I got Duplin Guesses, two,

825
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Joco Guesses, a lot of Johnson County Edge comunt. Oh wait,

826
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>hold on, well, hang on, Ed, I'm gonna grab your

827
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.280
<v Speaker 1>call if you want to hold through the break, but

828
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.440
<v Speaker 1>we got to take one. We'll be back CaCO Day

829
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Radio program. Problem with the influencer is like influencers who

830
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:27.639
<v Speaker 1>just like you know, whose whole thing is just getting

831
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:31.719
<v Speaker 1>makeup on and talking tea or whatever. They I'm so

832
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:34.199
<v Speaker 1>not into it, so I don't know all the words.

833
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:38.519
<v Speaker 1>But but no, she is promoting all things North Carolina

834
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and obviously was one of the folks who gained a

835
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of attention because she was doing a very good

836
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.119
<v Speaker 1>job during everything that was unfolding in western North Carolina

837
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:54.239
<v Speaker 1>presenting perspectives and I'm not talking about you know where

838
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:57.519
<v Speaker 1>people were posting videos clearly for clicks and all of that.

839
00:46:57.719 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought she was more measured than a lot, which

840
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.280
<v Speaker 1>is why I invited her on the show in the

841
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.840
<v Speaker 1>first place, because if there was an allegation, she was willing,

842
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>You're literally gonna drive there and figure it out, which

843
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:12.760
<v Speaker 1>used to be reporters who do that, but now you're

844
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the You are the media, as Elon says, So I'm

845
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>really curious to hear the reaction from all the folks

846
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 1>up there, which she no doubt talks to on the

847
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.440
<v Speaker 1>regular and you know, her family's up there, and and

848
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 1>really really how everyone's feeling after Trump's visit. So we'll

849
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:33.639
<v Speaker 1>get into that, and yeah, we'll talk a little of

850
00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the Josh Stein stuff. Plus I think she should she

851
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.679
<v Speaker 1>should talk to this guy's audio. We're just playing who

852
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I think very succinctly and in a pure country North

853
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Carolina accent. Really pointed out the frustrations as he was interacting,

854
00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I guess with somebody from New York who was complaining

855
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:54.079
<v Speaker 1>about a bunch of stuff. No bodega's, the pizza sucks,

856
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:57.079
<v Speaker 1>you name it. Then we're trying to figure out where

857
00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>he's from. All right, Ed's got a guess ed, what's up.

858
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Casey, good morning.

859
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna I'm gonna touch on this.

860
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.719
<v Speaker 5>Guy with with the you know, talking about New Yorker's

861
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 5>coming down. I'm gonna I'm gonna place my wage on

862
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:17.519
<v Speaker 5>Edgecombe County. The reason being is just because I deliver

863
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:19.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot. Well, I used to deliver a lot anyway,

864
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:24.559
<v Speaker 5>all over eastern North Carolina, and I probably my first

865
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:25.599
<v Speaker 5>bet would be Edgecombe.

866
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:29.000
<v Speaker 1>And he's probably found out where he's from during the

867
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>break somebody sent me, but I still thought it was Wood.

868
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.079
<v Speaker 1>So do you want to hear you want the big reveal?

869
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:35.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

870
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Man, yeah, all right, you ready. Uh, he's near Newburgh,

871
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.519
<v Speaker 1>so I guess Craven would be Craven County, all right,

872
00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Well on the track of all the way, Yeah, absolutely, no,

873
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that tracks. There's a big survey north Raleigh all the

874
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.840
<v Speaker 1>way down to just maybe a few miles from the

875
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>coast that he could have been in, then down to

876
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the South Carolina border. But yeah, that tracks man, Craven County.

877
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:01.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, eastern North Carolina.

878
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh yeah, so all right, appreciate Ye're appreciate that

879
00:49:08.039 --> 00:49:13.559
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's cool, man, It's just again turn on

880
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the auto captions. I don't know why I find that

881
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.639
<v Speaker 1>so funny, but I do. I do, all right. Few

882
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:22.239
<v Speaker 1>other things, A couple of things we can't get to yesterday,

883
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 1>but I feel still need to come your way. Uh well,

884
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.760
<v Speaker 1>let's start here. By now, you've probably seen the Advance interview.

885
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.599
<v Speaker 1>He is so good in interviews, even if you don't

886
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:38.000
<v Speaker 1>agree with him, He's very good. But it's harder for

887
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:40.559
<v Speaker 1>a Republican to be good in an interview with most

888
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of the mainstream outlets because not all interviews are created equal.

889
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Usually you got to run in there on the defense.

890
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And what I think Vance is very good at doing.

891
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump just lobs grenades. That's his thing. Vance strategically lobs grenades,

892
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:00.559
<v Speaker 1>and he kind of gets you to play the pin

893
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:04.599
<v Speaker 1>before he throws it at you, which is not easy

894
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:08.239
<v Speaker 1>to do. Setting up somebody like if I can somebody

895
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:10.280
<v Speaker 1>calls and screaming at me, and I can figure out

896
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the conversation how to set them

897
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:16.079
<v Speaker 1>up with their own logical fallacy. That makes my day.

898
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy to do. Van's as cool as a

899
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:19.679
<v Speaker 1>cucumber doing it, man is.

900
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Then there was record oil and gas production.

901
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.800
<v Speaker 8>Many terrible things to lead to an increase in prices.

902
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:27.639
<v Speaker 3>I agree, markret no, but all.

903
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:29.239
<v Speaker 6>The things you experience at the grocery store are what

904
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:31.519
<v Speaker 6>people touch and field. This week you were talking about

905
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:33.000
<v Speaker 6>bacon on the campaign trail.

906
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Of course, of course those.

907
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.400
<v Speaker 6>Things, when do consumers actually get to touch and feel

908
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:39.239
<v Speaker 6>a difference in their lives?

909
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:41.440
<v Speaker 8>Well, Margaret, how does bacon get to the grocery store.

910
00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:43.920
<v Speaker 8>It comes on trucks that are fueled by diesel fuel.

911
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.199
<v Speaker 8>If the diesel is way too expensive, the bacon's going

912
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:48.239
<v Speaker 8>to become more expensive. How do we grow the bacon?

913
00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:51.239
<v Speaker 8>Our farmers need energy to produce it. So if we

914
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.440
<v Speaker 8>lower energy prices, we are going to see lower prices

915
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:55.239
<v Speaker 8>for consumers.

916
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.559
<v Speaker 1>And that is what we're trying to fight for. Because

917
00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:59.760
<v Speaker 1>there was this whole narrative over the weekend like why

918
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 1>are eggs cheap? Yeah, why aren't they? Elie Crystal or

919
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:05.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever his name is over on MSNBC this garbage tried

920
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:06.519
<v Speaker 1>to tell y'all.

921
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:11.400
<v Speaker 11>I mean, Ali I wrote specifically about this issue what

922
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:13.440
<v Speaker 11>he was going to do to the Department of Justice

923
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:17.119
<v Speaker 11>multiple times during the election cycle, because, as you pointed

924
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:19.679
<v Speaker 11>out in your open, this was all written down. So

925
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.159
<v Speaker 11>I don't like the shock and awe version of this

926
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:25.119
<v Speaker 11>because if you've been paying attention, they wrote it down,

927
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.239
<v Speaker 11>They told you exactly what they were going to do,

928
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.360
<v Speaker 11>and exactly how you were going to do it, and

929
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.519
<v Speaker 11>a majority of white people voted for this. This is

930
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:36.760
<v Speaker 11>the disgusting version of America that people want. And oh,

931
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.039
<v Speaker 11>by the way, eggs are still more expensive, so you

932
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:42.480
<v Speaker 11>even get that great job white.

933
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Folks, it's just yeah, great job, white folks. I can't yes.

934
00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:49.559
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, you don't have to call let

935
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:53.320
<v Speaker 1>me say it for you. I can't imagine that said opposite.

936
00:51:55.559 --> 00:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine some white analysts? Yeah, and Crystal likes

937
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I know he does like some white things because his

938
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:06.199
<v Speaker 1>hair is crazy. He's got he's the dude with the

939
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:11.000
<v Speaker 1>big white beakman looking thing. I don't know what was

940
00:52:11.039 --> 00:52:14.239
<v Speaker 1>the what was the muppet? The science Muppet. Yeah, he's

941
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that dude. He's got that hairdo. But I can't imagine.

942
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:21.440
<v Speaker 1>So I can't imagine Scott Jennings going thank you, black

943
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:26.800
<v Speaker 1>folks and surrounded all negative a negative, negatively, and him

944
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:32.079
<v Speaker 1>still having a job at CNN. But let's talk about

945
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:34.559
<v Speaker 1>some of those folks that Trump's gotten in there. You

946
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>see Pete Hegseth. All right, So yesterday he is he's

947
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.400
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to get on a plane or whatever. So

948
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:45.679
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those tarmac interviews, and it's you don't

949
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:48.559
<v Speaker 1>even have to direct it. You just normalize it, which

950
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:52.360
<v Speaker 1>is what what has been the the strategy for for

951
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:57.559
<v Speaker 1>so many Democrat things over over the years, where you normalize,

952
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:01.280
<v Speaker 1>like you you don't say illegal immigrant anymore, it's undocumented traveler,

953
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:05.400
<v Speaker 1>undocumented immigrant. And then you normalize it by just doing it.

954
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:07.679
<v Speaker 1>That's what Heckseeth is doing.

955
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:09.800
<v Speaker 12>But then I'm here, I'm thinking about the guys.

956
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:11.840
<v Speaker 1>See if he can figure out what I'm talking about, but.

957
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:15.199
<v Speaker 12>That I'm here, I'm thinking about the guys and gals

958
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:20.960
<v Speaker 12>in Guam, in Germany and Fort Benning and Fort Bragg

959
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.920
<v Speaker 12>on missile defense sites and aircraft carriers.

960
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:27.119
<v Speaker 1>And there's two things. Because obviously your ear is going

961
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.679
<v Speaker 1>to pick up on the brag thing. Betting's the thing too,

962
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:35.440
<v Speaker 1>But also he said guys and gals, and the last

963
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of Defense would have simply said soldiers. Even though soldiers,

964
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:43.320
<v Speaker 1>then you get marines and airmen and if you want

965
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.719
<v Speaker 1>to start breaking it down but probably not could use airman.

966
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So he's just like, now we're going back to this

967
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:53.840
<v Speaker 1>because this is normal and it just flows there. And

968
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.119
<v Speaker 1>and after we did, I'm not going to plan all

969
00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the rest there, but there was another cut and they

970
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:01.880
<v Speaker 1>went on to the next thing. The media just fell

971
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.360
<v Speaker 1>in line, whereas I expected want of them to scream

972
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>at them, and they just didn't. And that's because our

973
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:12.719
<v Speaker 1>military is awesome, you know why. Because our military's not

974
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:18.679
<v Speaker 1>out chasing Wales. There's crazy story here. Are you ready

975
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.559
<v Speaker 1>for this? Real quick? Raced Aga will like this too

976
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:27.840
<v Speaker 1>if he's there. So the UK's Royal nay, hey, ray

977
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>are you there? Yeah, we're here, all right? You love

978
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:33.800
<v Speaker 1>this all right, UK's Royal Navy went code read launched

979
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a frantic search for two phantom Russian subs off the

980
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:43.000
<v Speaker 1>coast who they thought were out there attempting to Basically,

981
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:46.920
<v Speaker 1>they thought the Russian subs were trying to record them

982
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:50.039
<v Speaker 1>so that they could have a better understanding of what

983
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.920
<v Speaker 1>British submarines sound like, right, because they have a huge

984
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:55.360
<v Speaker 1>sub base up in Scotland there, so they're hanging out

985
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:58.719
<v Speaker 1>off of that. So they think that there's phantom Russian subs.

986
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>They're freaking out because they're not pinging him on radar. Uh,

987
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:04.920
<v Speaker 1>they're pinging them on sonar, but not some of their

988
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:09.039
<v Speaker 1>other detection devices. And so they went full to the

989
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:11.320
<v Speaker 1>wall what do you think it turned out to be.

990
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Take a guess out, not a Russian sub farting whale,

991
00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you're oh, okay, yeah, that was my first guess. Yeah, yeah,

992
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:26.519
<v Speaker 1>the hunt for red fart Tober, which by the way,

993
00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:30.320
<v Speaker 1>is good, but I think dos Boof is better. So

994
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:33.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe I should have been consultant and others who fell

995
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:36.199
<v Speaker 1>on that side. But uh yeah, yeah, they went full

996
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:40.559
<v Speaker 1>uh they went full uh uh hunt for red October

997
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:42.639
<v Speaker 1>and it was a it was a bailing whale with

998
00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:48.039
<v Speaker 1>indigestion or something. Okay, yeah, so yes, that was my

999
00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:51.840
<v Speaker 1>second guess. Unless the Russians have remember they trained that

1000
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Beluga whales, so maybe that is an operative right with

1001
00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:56.119
<v Speaker 1>the gas, So we don't know.

1002
00:55:56.400 --> 00:55:58.519
<v Speaker 13>It's different, certainly not the answer I would have been

1003
00:55:58.519 --> 00:55:59.000
<v Speaker 13>looking for.

1004
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh. I gotta tell you, my man. I got to

1005
00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:06.840
<v Speaker 1>go down to Newbern and Beaufort specifically, but that area

1006
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.559
<v Speaker 1>down there at the coast, and I had I actually

1007
00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:12.400
<v Speaker 1>left from Greensboro, so I started, well, I technically I

1008
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:14.360
<v Speaker 1>left from a high point, So I started in a

1009
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:18.000
<v Speaker 1>high point, drove down there about four hours, and the

1010
00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:20.320
<v Speaker 1>whole time I'm like, ah, this is fine, this is wait,

1011
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:22.800
<v Speaker 1>what is that? What is that, And I'm like, am

1012
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I getting near a ski area? What the hell is

1013
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:25.360
<v Speaker 1>going on?

1014
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:25.880
<v Speaker 13>Yeah?

1015
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I did not realize how much snow they got down there.

1016
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They did and it's you know, it's still The roads

1017
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:32.960
<v Speaker 1>were fine. I just want to say that there was

1018
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:35.159
<v Speaker 1>not a problem on any of the roads, but any

1019
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:37.159
<v Speaker 1>of the side of the roads, on the south side

1020
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of the road where they have the big trees, that's

1021
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:42.320
<v Speaker 1>probably all still there because it's not getting in the

1022
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:44.760
<v Speaker 1>direct sun. Man. All right, yeah, let's fix this. Let's

1023
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:46.639
<v Speaker 1>let's clean it up where we are for everybody.

1024
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.639
<v Speaker 13>Okay, Yeah, I mean beautiful week You take out Friday

<v Speaker 13>this morning load of mid thirties lo to mid thirties,

1033
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:18.480
<v Speaker 13>then the forties by the weekend. And we even got

1034
00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:21.280
<v Speaker 13>a shot, especially as we get around the triangle and

1035
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:23.599
<v Speaker 13>points south at east where some of that snow may

1036
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:27.559
<v Speaker 13>still be lurking of maybe a sixty eight tomorrow afternoon,

1037
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:31.199
<v Speaker 13>same thing Friday. Yeah, so you know, maybe break out

1038
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.559
<v Speaker 13>the sticks, you know, you can get out there. And

1039
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.199
<v Speaker 13>even over the weekend we got a shot at sixty

1040
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.679
<v Speaker 13>degrees both days, probably back into the fifties, and then

1041
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.119
<v Speaker 13>Monday warm too. As the patterns changed, so we've gone

1042
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:46.280
<v Speaker 13>from more of a continental polar flow to more of

1043
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:48.639
<v Speaker 13>a maritime influence on the Pacific, so more of a

1044
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:51.199
<v Speaker 13>flatter west east kind of thing, and that's going to

1045
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:53.880
<v Speaker 13>bring the mild their temperatures in or not later in

1046
00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:56.920
<v Speaker 13>the Weekstorm Prediction Center has severe weather not here the

1047
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:59.960
<v Speaker 13>frontal week before it gets here, but severe weather potentially

1048
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:05.360
<v Speaker 13>for parts of Louisiana, Texas that got six plus inches

1049
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:08.159
<v Speaker 13>of snow last week. So we went from winter the spring,

1050
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:09.960
<v Speaker 13>all within the course of seven days.

1051
00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So pretty amazing. That's what we do. That's what happens. Yeah,

1052
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, talk to you soon, sir, Thank you, I

1053
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:19.039
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it, and we'll be right back. Hang on, So

1054
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump putangling with I mean, what a busy weekend for

1055
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:28.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy. Obviously, he reiterated the Panama stuff. And then

1056
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I hope you saw the reporting of the conversation with

1057
00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Denmark's president or do they call it president prime minister?

1058
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:39.840
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter. And of course the media is doing

1059
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:41.880
<v Speaker 1>what the media is doing, and also the Europeans are

1060
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:44.719
<v Speaker 1>doing what the Europeans are doing, because they're like, the

1061
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:49.880
<v Speaker 1>phone call was shocking, it was terrified. Terrifying is the

1062
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:55.039
<v Speaker 1>word they use, shocking, terrifying in just because Denmark is

1063
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Greenland is a protectorate of it anyway, it's it's it's

1064
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:02.719
<v Speaker 1>one of their playthings. But to describe it as and

1065
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:06.039
<v Speaker 1>to you know, to further ramp this up, really, was

1066
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:11.039
<v Speaker 1>it terrifying? Can we hear it? The I don't. I'm

1067
00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:15.840
<v Speaker 1>assuming the conversation was had in English. She speaks English.

1068
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I've because when she was responding she and it and

1069
00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:22.320
<v Speaker 1>it was very good English. So I I like, can

1070
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we hear it and judge for ourselves if it was terrifying?

1071
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:28.719
<v Speaker 1>And then from there and then Panama got mad again,

1072
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:35.159
<v Speaker 1>then Colombia I'm trying to remember order of operation here,

1073
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and then Colombia, and the Columbia thing is crazy, I

1074
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:40.519
<v Speaker 1>will tell you this as somebody who got to travel

1075
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:42.559
<v Speaker 1>to Colombia, was that last year I went to go

1076
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.000
<v Speaker 1>what to Pay and then I went to Glopago. Anyway,

1077
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed myself down there, and I thought the look,

1078
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:53.519
<v Speaker 1>if you're stupid, don't go to Columbia. If you got

1079
00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a brain on your head and you understand that there

1080
00:59:55.280 --> 00:59:57.360
<v Speaker 1>are things and places that you should go, there are

1081
00:59:57.400 --> 01:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>probably places you should not go, and also the things

1082
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:01.119
<v Speaker 1>you should not say.

1083
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Like.

1084
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:06.079
<v Speaker 1>I found it really fascinating talking to people my age

1085
01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>or above in metazine because there are the thing that

1086
01:00:12.519 --> 01:00:16.199
<v Speaker 1>they hate more than anything in Metazine is Pablo Escobar.

1087
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And you really quickly learn why because as you walk

1088
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>around the city and you go it doesn't matter where

1089
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you go. You can go to Publato where they have

1090
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good restaurants. Don't go near there. There's

1091
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bad stuff right near there where a

1092
01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of like and as a result, you have a

1093
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of tourists, a lot of money. You also have

1094
01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of crime, prostitution, things like that, and Columbia

1095
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:41.639
<v Speaker 1>deals with that to the extent that they can. So

1096
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>areas like Publato, where my hotel was is kind of

1097
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of town in a place called

1098
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>lorelis On and that's a great bar restaurant district, great hotels,

1099
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and I enjoyed it. And I was only there for

1100
01:00:57.559 --> 01:00:59.599
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days. And then want to pay, which

1101
01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>is this volcano lake thing, which is amazing, and they

1102
01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:05.079
<v Speaker 1>have these stairs you walk to the top of the

1103
01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>caldera and it's really cool and and everyone was very chill.

1104
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Well everyone's not real chill right now. But also there

1105
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>is a reckoning that Americans voted for, and that reckoning

1106
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:28.679
<v Speaker 1>is this this illegal immigration stuff. I know, I know,

1107
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I just ran out of people, like I'll explain what

1108
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>like ten people have emailed me here in a moment,

1109
01:01:33.039 --> 01:01:34.559
<v Speaker 1>I knew it was gonna happen, and I'm sorry. I

1110
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to move on to this. But so like

1111
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Columbia basically refused a military it's it's a little there's

1112
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:48.559
<v Speaker 1>a little complexity to it because refused is a strong word.

1113
01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>But acted normal is not what they did either. Basically,

1114
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>they they tried to get the rule book out and

1115
01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:59.599
<v Speaker 1>do stuff and then they flat refused. Honduras was kind

1116
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of the same. I'll get to that in a moment,

1117
01:02:01.440 --> 01:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and so he said, fine, we're just gonna tear if

1118
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>your stuff. And for five minutes, the president of Pietro

1119
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I think is his name, He's like, fine, we're gonna

1120
01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>tear if your stuff. And then I guess somebody must

1121
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:16.679
<v Speaker 1>have run the numbers and realized, what do you think

1122
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>we buy from Columbia? And don't say cocaine, I mean,

1123
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>what do we buy legally from Colombia that we decimated

1124
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>our own industry through a trade agreement that Bush W

1125
01:02:26.760 --> 01:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Bush put in flowers? Columbia produces amazing, which is why

1126
01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>when you fly into Colombia and you look down in

1127
01:02:35.800 --> 01:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the field, it's amazing. If it's the right time of

1128
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the year, and it was for me. She doesn't really

1129
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>do politics. It's gonna be unavoidable in this discussion because

1130
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>it is the reason we're having it. The Trump visit

1131
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to North Carolina's first official visit in the United States

1132
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:58.199
<v Speaker 1>to anywhere was us and it was incredible to watch

1133
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>not just Trump, not just what he said about FEMA

1134
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and how money's gonna work, but also watching people who

1135
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:08.199
<v Speaker 1>are not activists, who are not people who ever saw

1136
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>themselves standing on the stage with the President testifying to

1137
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>get up there and really talk about the difference there scene,

1138
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:18.559
<v Speaker 1>So I wanted to dig further into that. You've seen

1139
01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>her on Twitter at Dogwood Blooms. Is her handle. It's

1140
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Clark, who joins us this morning, who has instructed

1141
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>my producer that she is to be referred to as

1142
01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>the Queen or her majesty. You know, we had a

1143
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:37.559
<v Speaker 1>problem about two hundred and fifty years ago with people

1144
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>demanding that. But I'll give you the pass. How are

1145
01:03:39.880 --> 01:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you doing this morning, Cassie?

1146
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:42.199
<v Speaker 5>I'm good.

1147
01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>How are you, Kasey?

1148
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know, just doing my thing. But I'm watching

1149
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the video from Trump up there and this woman, there's

1150
01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:51.559
<v Speaker 1>this woman on the stage, one of several to be

1151
01:03:51.599 --> 01:03:54.559
<v Speaker 1>able to talk with Trump. And again, I know, I

1152
01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>know you try to avoid politics. It's unavoidable when the

1153
01:03:57.199 --> 01:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>president visits. But let's talk about the impact it has

1154
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>on North Carolina. What do you think the impact will

1155
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>be on the effort to rebuild western North Carolina? Based

1156
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:08.199
<v Speaker 1>on what you heard?

1157
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Western North Carolina was ignored, right, I mean,

1158
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>from the time the storm hit all the way up

1159
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:20.840
<v Speaker 2>until Trump made it into office. I feel like the

1160
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:24.239
<v Speaker 2>major news networks ignored us I feel like most of

1161
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the news that was coming out was being released by

1162
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:31.840
<v Speaker 2>people like me, Matt van Swall, Sean Hendrix. And how

1163
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>sad is that that you have to go to x

1164
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>to find out what's going on on the ground. And

1165
01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump got into office and all of a sudden that changed.

1166
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:44.039
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden were in the spotlight, and you know,

1167
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember who said it, but there was one

1168
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent right. Trump didn't just come and give a speech.

1169
01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:55.599
<v Speaker 2>He handed his microphone to western North Carolinians. I mean,

1170
01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that that was just one of the most

1171
01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>beautiful things I've ever seen. It was perfect.

1172
01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I saw people because people are cynical, and

1173
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>they said, well he did it, you know, because you

1174
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>know for politics, Well here's the thing. Who cares if

1175
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:13.119
<v Speaker 1>you even if you think that, what is the impact

1176
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:15.559
<v Speaker 1>going to be? And the impact is that woman that

1177
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:17.199
<v Speaker 1>we played audio from, I'm just going to play a

1178
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>little snippets. You know which one I'm referring to.

1179
01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:23.920
<v Speaker 6>I've been fatten with femas since day one. Our community

1180
01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:26.320
<v Speaker 6>there's like thirty two homes.

1181
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>So she describes a she describes a situation where these

1182
01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:34.119
<v Speaker 1>homes are rule as many homes are in western North

1183
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Carolina and specifically their road, which is a I would

1184
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>describe it as a weather road. I don't know if

1185
01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>we use the term as much, but you know a

1186
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>road that requires maintenance. A lot of the maintenance is

1187
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>done by the locals. We did it as a kid

1188
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>growing up for ranch roads, and it's gone or it's

1189
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:54.119
<v Speaker 1>impassable where ems or fire couldn't get up there, as

1190
01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.679
<v Speaker 1>well as a lot of heavy equipment and FEMA she called,

1191
01:05:57.719 --> 01:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and this is the doom loop. These people find them

1192
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in said, hey, we need to fix this. There's thirty

1193
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>two of us back here, and if something happened somebody

1194
01:06:06.880 --> 01:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>has a heart attack there, they're not going to make it.

1195
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.239
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, well, rebuild the road. We'll pay you what.

1196
01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>And also you can't get the trucks in there to

1197
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>rebuild the road. And so the average citizen who's never

1198
01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:20.239
<v Speaker 1>had to deal with this, I wouldn't know how to

1199
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>deal with this, is sitting there and the answer for

1200
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>some is to throw their hands up and move. And

1201
01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>so how many of these stories have you heard?

1202
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Countless? I mean literally countless. So when the storm hit,

1203
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:45.039
<v Speaker 2>immediately started sharing places that people could donate highlighting organizations

1204
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>that were going to be on the ground, and from

1205
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>there it just kind of grew and so it was

1206
01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>like every day there would be anywhere from ten to

1207
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>fifty dms coming straight to me with people who needed help.

1208
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And how heartbreaking is it to hear the same story

1209
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>over and over again. Our roads washed out, our bridge

1210
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:10.159
<v Speaker 2>is gone, our home is gone. We can't get a

1211
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>hold of FEMA. I don't know what to do. Can

1212
01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:15.760
<v Speaker 2>you tell me who to contact? Like, I've heard it

1213
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>so many times that it made my head spin, and

1214
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:24.159
<v Speaker 2>so to see things actually moving now is amazing. And

1215
01:07:24.199 --> 01:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not an overly political person. I mean, anybody who

1216
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:31.719
<v Speaker 2>followed me prior to Hurricane Helen obviously knows that. And

1217
01:07:32.679 --> 01:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I've seen people flip sides because of Hurricane Heleen. I mean,

1218
01:07:37.519 --> 01:07:40.280
<v Speaker 2>this is a big deal here in North Carolina, and

1219
01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I've also seen a lot of people downplay it. I

1220
01:07:42.880 --> 01:07:46.239
<v Speaker 2>actually saw video this morning of someone driving through Swana

1221
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Noah and saying that nothing was being done, and they

1222
01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>drove through the best areas in Swana Noah. They didn't

1223
01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>even show the worst road. So I mean, this just

1224
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>goes to show how one person can make it seem

1225
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:05.320
<v Speaker 2>like things are so much better than what they actually are.

1226
01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. One of our emailers, Josh, it looks

1227
01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:13.519
<v Speaker 1>like they're a construction group, he said, we have been

1228
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:17.119
<v Speaker 1>helping rebuild, donating time and equipment, struggling to get it done.

1229
01:08:17.319 --> 01:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>These things are very expensive to repair. If it wasn't

1230
01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:23.319
<v Speaker 1>for private donations, he estimates that half of what's been

1231
01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>done wouldn't have been done. Would you say that's a

1232
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>fair assessment?

1233
01:08:27.359 --> 01:08:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Absolutely, absolutely. Whenever the hotel voucher started expiring, Mercy

1234
01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Ory once stood up and spent thousands of dollars to

1235
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:42.119
<v Speaker 2>pay for hotel rooms for people who were about to

1236
01:08:42.119 --> 01:08:44.199
<v Speaker 2>get kicked out from FEMA.

1237
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:48.119
<v Speaker 1>In the middle of a snowstorm on my dad. Yes, yeah, yeah.

1238
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk Army Corps of engineers. I saw a

1239
01:08:50.520 --> 01:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of posts yesterday or over the weekend that has

1240
01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>there been a big influx of actual government I mean

1241
01:08:57.479 --> 01:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that's Army Corps. US Army Corps has that or what

1242
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:02.479
<v Speaker 1>should I believe?

1243
01:09:03.479 --> 01:09:05.680
<v Speaker 2>So I have Now I'm not on the ground in

1244
01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:08.560
<v Speaker 2>western North Carolina right now, but from the news that

1245
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I am getting in from people that I am trusting,

1246
01:09:12.079 --> 01:09:14.600
<v Speaker 2>they're telling me that all of a sudden, they're seeing

1247
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:19.479
<v Speaker 2>them everywhere. And I think that's incredible because I've visited twice.

1248
01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Both times I didn't see much going on. And to

1249
01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>hear that now you're spotting them in the roads and

1250
01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that work is getting done, that's a godsend.

1251
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I did some research. Apparently prior to inauguration day,

1252
01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the president would have still had that ability. I don't

1253
01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>know if you knew.

1254
01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:45.359
<v Speaker 2>This, So that's something that I heard, that all of

1255
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:49.640
<v Speaker 2>these things could have been done beforehand. And how sad

1256
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:52.479
<v Speaker 2>is that? How sad is it that they knew they

1257
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:56.279
<v Speaker 2>could do things that they failed to do.

1258
01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Do you like the idea of the abolition of FEMA

1259
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:04.119
<v Speaker 1>we get into political because it would then there still

1260
01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>has to be somebody to administrate this, right, so even

1261
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>if you do it at the state level, then you're beholden.

1262
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>But arguably the closer the politics are to home, the

1263
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>easier the influences. Why do you think do you think

1264
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that that's a good idea? Because I saw Josh Stein

1265
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:22.079
<v Speaker 1>sitting there talking about well here, let me play the audio,

1266
01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm curious your response.

1267
01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:26.479
<v Speaker 7>Well, the president came here a couple of times. The

1268
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:29.239
<v Speaker 7>FEMA director factory who lived here. I know that those

1269
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.000
<v Speaker 7>folks worked hard. That doesn't mean we can't be frustrated

1270
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:34.920
<v Speaker 7>with some things that happened, because it never goes as

1271
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:37.039
<v Speaker 7>quickly or as well as we wanted to.

1272
01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, some people interpret that is Stein not having any

1273
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:46.239
<v Speaker 1>firm understanding of what FEMA did and how people feel

1274
01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>about it. I don't care if the FEMA director spent

1275
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of time at the casino and Cherokee. I

1276
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:54.439
<v Speaker 1>want results. So what do you think all that?

1277
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:01.239
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not sure how I feel about getting rid

1278
01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of FEMA entirely. And here is why. Because the state

1279
01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:08.199
<v Speaker 2>was in charge of nc r R, which was in

1280
01:11:08.279 --> 01:11:13.479
<v Speaker 2>charge of eastern North Carolina following Lawrence and Matthew. And

1281
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>we still have families in eastern North Carolina who may

1282
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:21.199
<v Speaker 2>never receive the help that they were promised. So is

1283
01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>it going to be any better for the state of

1284
01:11:23.319 --> 01:11:26.439
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina with the State of North Carolina in charge

1285
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:33.039
<v Speaker 2>of disaster relief? I'm not sure so. And see, this

1286
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 2>is why I hate politics, because it's almost like, no

1287
01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:37.439
<v Speaker 2>matter which way you go, this is the.

1288
01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Issue people's life. You know, it is politics, And I'm

1289
01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:43.239
<v Speaker 1>with you. I understand and Honestly, that's why I asked

1290
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:45.239
<v Speaker 1>you on the show because I thought that you did

1291
01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:48.159
<v Speaker 1>a very good job of you know, there was a

1292
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff that was coming out that wasn't true,

1293
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>whether it was intentional or just people dealing with stuff,

1294
01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and I thought that you did a good job of

1295
01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>filtering through that because you know, all it takes is

1296
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:00.199
<v Speaker 1>one story that's clearly hyped and wrong for people to

1297
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>dismiss what's going on. And oh yeah, believe you understand that.

1298
01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:08.279
<v Speaker 1>So this it is. It is the intersection of life

1299
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:11.479
<v Speaker 1>and politics. It's not just politics to do politics. It's

1300
01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:15.359
<v Speaker 1>politics to not freeze to death or to retain your

1301
01:12:15.359 --> 01:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>business or your way of life. And so I think

1302
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it really transcends.

1303
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And there was a lot of issues. I mean, there

1304
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>was the baby story, and I'm sure most people have

1305
01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>seen this on social media because it keeps reviving itself,

1306
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:34.760
<v Speaker 2>stories of a small toddler freezing and not making it

1307
01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:40.199
<v Speaker 2>and that I find that soul of senses because I'm

1308
01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:44.520
<v Speaker 2>from western North Carolina and I know my people very well,

1309
01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and I know that they are working so hard to

1310
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:51.039
<v Speaker 2>take care of each other, and the idea that that's

1311
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:53.039
<v Speaker 2>not something that would be in the news that that's

1312
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>not something that every Western North Carolinian wouldn't be screaming

1313
01:12:57.199 --> 01:12:58.680
<v Speaker 2>about is offensive.

1314
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead.

1315
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to be someone sitting on their couchs

1316
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>in you know, California or Massachusetts or Maine making a

1317
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:14.239
<v Speaker 2>video revealing that kind of information. It's going to be

1318
01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:19.039
<v Speaker 2>groups of hillbilly's raging if something like that were to happen,

1319
01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and trying to put down these types of lies takes

1320
01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:26.199
<v Speaker 2>away from the real things that are happening. And so

1321
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I've done my best to step up and say, hey,

1322
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not true. But yeah, I mean that's become a

1323
01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:33.720
<v Speaker 2>major concern in western North Carolina, is all the grifting

1324
01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and lying and people trying to get popular, get clicks

1325
01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:38.880
<v Speaker 2>off of the misery of others.

1326
01:13:39.399 --> 01:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you forgot Florida grifters on your list there?

1327
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah he was.

1328
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:46.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to give that guy any outs in

1329
01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the air with his name, but the amount that dude

1330
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>has nine lives, I keep seeing him try to revive stuff.

1331
01:13:56.760 --> 01:13:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah see, all right, we'll leave it there. I'm just saying, look,

1332
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:03.159
<v Speaker 1>if if people do and they should, right, don't think

1333
01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it's over. They were out saw an estimate, And you

1334
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:08.279
<v Speaker 1>tell me if you've heard this that the Lake Loure

1335
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>area that they were being told by the state that it'll

1336
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>probably be like two years before they're back to normal.

1337
01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Does that track with what you're hearing? Can you imagine

1338
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>two years of people not people from North Carolina even necessarily,

1339
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:22.239
<v Speaker 1>but people who want to come experience North Carolina and

1340
01:14:22.239 --> 01:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>pretend they're in footloose and put baby in the corner,

1341
01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:28.439
<v Speaker 1>like two years. Is that you're understanding how long this

1342
01:14:28.479 --> 01:14:29.039
<v Speaker 1>is going to take?

1343
01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:33.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's a hopeful estimate. I think it's

1344
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:36.199
<v Speaker 2>going to be longer than that before Western North Carolina

1345
01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:39.920
<v Speaker 2>is fully on its feet. Some of the things that

1346
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw when I was back home blew my mind.

1347
01:14:43.079 --> 01:14:47.039
<v Speaker 2>It literally looked like bombs went off in creaks. You know.

1348
01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>There were mobile homes that were literally look like they

1349
01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:55.239
<v Speaker 2>were crushed like tin cans. And if it's cleaned up

1350
01:14:55.239 --> 01:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>in two years, I will be on money praising Jesus

1351
01:14:58.680 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 2>because it's going to take a lot and a whole

1352
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:04.239
<v Speaker 2>lot more than what we have seen so far.

1353
01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Is is there truth to I heard some people complaining

1354
01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:11.359
<v Speaker 1>that they're you know, they're trying to get ahead and

1355
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:14.079
<v Speaker 1>clean waterways that may run through their property, so you

1356
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>know cricks, creeks, and even rivers, and they're being told

1357
01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>not to. And we heard a story in California where

1358
01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>they were not letting people go into the palisades and

1359
01:15:23.239 --> 01:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>try to start clearing their property. Is there a legitimate

1360
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:30.239
<v Speaker 1>reason for that? Is that happening? Because you know those creeks,

1361
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>especially in an agricultural setting, you still need them in

1362
01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:36.159
<v Speaker 1>many instances. So what do you know about that?

1363
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:42.760
<v Speaker 2>So I actually heard about that yesterday. To my knowledge,

1364
01:15:42.920 --> 01:15:46.279
<v Speaker 2>it is true. I actually need to do some research

1365
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:48.399
<v Speaker 2>on that, and I'm planning on reaching out to some

1366
01:15:48.520 --> 01:15:51.399
<v Speaker 2>of our representatives to find out what's going on with it,

1367
01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>because I can see no other reason that the waterways

1368
01:15:56.640 --> 01:15:57.680
<v Speaker 2>still look like they do.

1369
01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I see, yeah, yeah, you see. I saw a picture

1370
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:04.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a washer dryer set sit in this one creek

1371
01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:06.279
<v Speaker 1>and the lady was saying they were told she can't

1372
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:09.399
<v Speaker 1>move it, and that they were if there's some scientific

1373
01:16:09.439 --> 01:16:11.079
<v Speaker 1>reason where they got a test And I'm like, well,

1374
01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe if you pull it out it'll

1375
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:16.039
<v Speaker 1>test cleaner. I'm not a scientist, but that just seems

1376
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>logical to me.

1377
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know how that works. What I do

1378
01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:22.680
<v Speaker 2>know is is that on my last trip home, I

1379
01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>saw numerous vehicles in the river, and so of course

1380
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>there's oil and gas in those, there's ana freeze in those.

1381
01:16:31.399 --> 01:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>You cannot tell me that it is safe to leave

1382
01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:36.239
<v Speaker 2>overturned vehicles in the middle.

1383
01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:36.479
<v Speaker 5>Of a river.

1384
01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>No, No, A thousand, thousand percent right there, for all

1385
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:43.399
<v Speaker 1>the reasons. And this is literally something that we dealt

1386
01:16:43.399 --> 01:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>with one time when I was a kid, where they

1387
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.159
<v Speaker 1>had we had a really really bad windstorm and a

1388
01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>five hundred doallon fuel tank, not on our property, but

1389
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:58.119
<v Speaker 1>a property that was thankfully downstream. I went and it

1390
01:16:58.319 --> 01:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>was it was absolutely and you know what, Literally the

1391
01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>day after. The only reason I knew about is because

1392
01:17:04.439 --> 01:17:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I went over and brought one of our tractors too,

1393
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and we tugged all of this stuff out and it's

1394
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>just running out the whole time. So it's it's very bad.

1395
01:17:12.680 --> 01:17:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Give me a We talked about a lot of depressing stuff.

1396
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:19.680
<v Speaker 1>What's what Give me a happy story? Where you know,

1397
01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:24.840
<v Speaker 1>people cannot feel down in the mouth leaving this interview today,

1398
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.760
<v Speaker 1>because through the work of locals, through the work of

1399
01:17:29.039 --> 01:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>even outside charities like Mercury one that you mentioned, which

1400
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>is what that's Glenn Beck's right, what what what have

1401
01:17:35.239 --> 01:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you seen that is ahead of schedule where people are

1402
01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>really making because a lot of local local government's going

1403
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to impact this as well. So tell me something positive

1404
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you've seen, Cassie.

1405
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:49.640
<v Speaker 2>So, on my first trip home, I came up and

1406
01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:55.439
<v Speaker 2>I was expecting complete devastation. And my hometown sits I'm

1407
01:17:55.479 --> 01:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>from Canton and it sits in a valley on the

1408
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Pigeon River, and so I thought I was going to

1409
01:18:01.079 --> 01:18:04.279
<v Speaker 2>go home and find that it was just gone. And

1410
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:07.560
<v Speaker 2>on my very first trip, so this is what a

1411
01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:09.159
<v Speaker 2>week after the storm.

1412
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>About thirty seconds. I'm just warning you.

1413
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:15.760
<v Speaker 2>So, Okay, I come in and my hometown looked great.

1414
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:18.800
<v Speaker 2>It looked great. I'm so proud of Heywood County. And

1415
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:21.960
<v Speaker 2>there are other areas that pulled through that great too,

1416
01:18:22.359 --> 01:18:25.479
<v Speaker 2>And so I think that there's a lot of resilience

1417
01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think that we're going to make it through

1418
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>this better than ever.

1419
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think if if we all have our favorite

1420
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.039
<v Speaker 1>places in North Carolina, and I think if where we

1421
01:18:34.079 --> 01:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>travel to maybe we don't live, and if there's a

1422
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:39.159
<v Speaker 1>favorite place up in the mountains, you have and you

1423
01:18:39.199 --> 01:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>have a little time or money and you want to

1424
01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:42.279
<v Speaker 1>turn your attention to that. I think it's a good

1425
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.640
<v Speaker 1>thing we all could do at Dogwood Blooms. Yeah, at

1426
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Dogwood Blooms. On Twitter, that is Cassie Clark, who thinks

1427
01:18:49.640 --> 01:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>she's royalty. Thank you, Cassie, thank you. All right, we'll

1428
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>be right back hanging the dudes over at Ben and

1429
01:18:55.960 --> 01:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Jerry's ice cream kill me. And I don't know why

1430
01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>they keep putting a core in the crotch punching machine,

1431
01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>but let's do this. So Ben and Jerry's is very

1432
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:11.359
<v Speaker 1>upset because the company that owns Ben and Jerry's, who

1433
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>are not the guys who started Ben and Jerry's, but

1434
01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>rather a big conglomerate known as Unilever. I'm sure you're

1435
01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:23.880
<v Speaker 1>familiar with them. They are upset because they feel that

1436
01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Unilever has barred Ben and Jerry's from issuing what was

1437
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:32.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be like a really woke anti Trump message.

1438
01:19:33.319 --> 01:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>So while there's still is involvement there because of this

1439
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>sales agreement, because here's the deal. When the company buys

1440
01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:44.119
<v Speaker 1>something and you sell your thing, but your thing has

1441
01:19:44.199 --> 01:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>your name on it, maybe you're still the spokesman for it.

1442
01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Any of the rest the company is buying it is

1443
01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:54.720
<v Speaker 1>going to have conditions. I have conditions, right. My name

1444
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:55.319
<v Speaker 1>is Casey O.

1445
01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Day.

1446
01:19:56.319 --> 01:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>The show is called that my company owns the show.

1447
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's how that works. And that's just that's just

1448
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:07.199
<v Speaker 1>how that's how entertainment, not just entertainment, that's how things

1449
01:20:07.319 --> 01:20:11.479
<v Speaker 1>like this work. And so in I can't go out

1450
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and openly disparage my company. I can't do things. We

1451
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:18.600
<v Speaker 1>have morality clauses. We have all of these things which

1452
01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>are standard. So it's not like Ben and my point

1453
01:20:23.399 --> 01:20:25.479
<v Speaker 1>is Ben and Jerry didn't get tricked into this. Do

1454
01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? What they availed themselves of

1455
01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>was capitalism. They started a company and it's a I

1456
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:37.119
<v Speaker 1>understand their woke and green and all that. Their ice

1457
01:20:37.159 --> 01:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>cream isn't bad, it's it's it's high quality ice cream.

1458
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:45.520
<v Speaker 1>And and so the other thing is too to make

1459
01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:49.279
<v Speaker 1>ice cream like that, uh Russ never talking off the air,

1460
01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it's one of the it's gotta be one of

1461
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the least green products available. You got a macadamia try

1462
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:01.199
<v Speaker 1>in your yard? No you don't. You know why because

1463
01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:04.239
<v Speaker 1>they come from the Indian Ocean where they import a

1464
01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:07.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of Macadamians from not not purely, but Matta Gascar

1465
01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:12.159
<v Speaker 1>grows a crap ton Indonesia as well. That's the other

1466
01:21:12.159 --> 01:21:14.119
<v Speaker 1>side of the world, bro. And how many of their

1467
01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>flavors have Macadamian They're probably a bunch. And that's just

1468
01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>getting started. Vanilla also comes from the other side of

1469
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the world. Real vanilla if you want, you know the

1470
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:29.039
<v Speaker 1>mass growing of it. So you're in the ice cream biz.

1471
01:21:29.079 --> 01:21:31.039
<v Speaker 1>And then there's the part where you have a product

1472
01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:33.920
<v Speaker 1>from the moment you start making it has to be

1473
01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>refrigerated or in some state of transformation that is utilizing

1474
01:21:41.439 --> 01:21:44.159
<v Speaker 1>big machines that require a lot of energy all the rest.

1475
01:21:44.479 --> 01:21:47.279
<v Speaker 1>And then when the when the time was ripe and

1476
01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:50.279
<v Speaker 1>you could get the maxim amount of money, you turn

1477
01:21:50.520 --> 01:21:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to a company. I'm not knocking on Unilever, but do

1478
01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you turn to a worldwide conglomerate which makes products all

1479
01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:00.479
<v Speaker 1>over the world and then ship some of all the

1480
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:05.159
<v Speaker 1>other parts of the world. And also as a chemical component.

1481
01:22:05.960 --> 01:22:08.239
<v Speaker 1>You want to get into that so that they would

1482
01:22:08.279 --> 01:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>pay you an ungodly sum of money. And now you're

1483
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.039
<v Speaker 1>mad that you can't do something the company thinks would

1484
01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>harm their brand. Go take your money, go buy your

1485
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>six houses and be a hypocrite. You know, I'll lave

1486
01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders and shut up man to ice cream.

1487
01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Not gonna lie.

1488
01:22:25.760 --> 01:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>We get this one a lot.

1489
01:22:27.039 --> 01:22:29.199
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, we're in the ice cream business, but we've always

1490
01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.359
<v Speaker 14>been about much more than just ice cream. We use

1491
01:22:31.399 --> 01:22:34.079
<v Speaker 14>our power, our privilege, our platform, on our relationship with

1492
01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:37.520
<v Speaker 14>our fans to advocate for progressive social change. So now

1493
01:22:37.800 --> 01:22:39.439
<v Speaker 14>we're not just going to stick to ice cream.

1494
01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:41.479
<v Speaker 15>And we're never going to stop trying to dismantle white

1495
01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:44.359
<v Speaker 15>supremacy and the climate crisis or fight for our democracy.

1496
01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:46.640
<v Speaker 14>I know we're not going to stop fighting laws that

1497
01:22:46.680 --> 01:22:48.800
<v Speaker 14>restrict trans writes, ban books.

1498
01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:52.439
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna pause this real quick. If you folded

1499
01:22:52.479 --> 01:22:58.439
<v Speaker 1>your company up, if you folded your company and you

1500
01:22:58.479 --> 01:23:02.079
<v Speaker 1>were not producing ice cream anym, not shipping, not refrigerating,

1501
01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:04.479
<v Speaker 1>not the trucks that deliver it, if you were not

1502
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>doing any of that, you could have the impact from

1503
01:23:08.760 --> 01:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a client. You could have the maximum impact on the

1504
01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>climate stuff because you would just cease to exist all

1505
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:18.439
<v Speaker 1>And I understand there's other companies that may come in

1506
01:23:18.520 --> 01:23:21.319
<v Speaker 1>and because people want ice cream, right, and it may

1507
01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>expand the market share for Hoggin DAWs or one of

1508
01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the other premium brands. Fine, but if you morally feel

1509
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>that you have to do that, quit, just stop and

1510
01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>again you sold out to one of the largest consumer

1511
01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>products companies in the world. Man well back abortion.

1512
01:23:41.279 --> 01:23:45.039
<v Speaker 10>Protections, caring about that stuff, doing something about it, as

1513
01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:48.039
<v Speaker 10>supporting communities who've been directly impacted by it as part

1514
01:23:48.079 --> 01:23:50.359
<v Speaker 10>of our DNA, and it has been since we opened

1515
01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:52.720
<v Speaker 10>up our first scoop shop in Burlington, Vermont, back in

1516
01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:53.720
<v Speaker 10>nineteen seventy eight.

1517
01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:56.800
<v Speaker 14>Ben and Jerry were two best friends who love making

1518
01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.279
<v Speaker 14>ice cream, but for them, the only reason to be

1519
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:02.079
<v Speaker 14>in business. To do business different whether.

1520
01:24:01.840 --> 01:24:04.079
<v Speaker 15>We're working with activists in Saint Louis to close a

1521
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:07.079
<v Speaker 15>racist and inhumane jail, or working to restore the right

1522
01:24:07.159 --> 01:24:09.920
<v Speaker 15>to vote for people who are formally incarcerated in Florida,

1523
01:24:10.119 --> 01:24:12.279
<v Speaker 15>or turning up a delicious new flavor and support of

1524
01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:15.640
<v Speaker 15>refugee rights in the UK. Being an activist company is

1525
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:16.439
<v Speaker 15>who we are.

1526
01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:19.359
<v Speaker 14>And we know our fans wouldn't want it any other

1527
01:24:19.439 --> 01:24:22.159
<v Speaker 14>way because while we love making the best possible ice

1528
01:24:22.199 --> 01:24:24.560
<v Speaker 14>cream in the best possible way, the world needs more

1529
01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:25.760
<v Speaker 14>than just great ice cream.

1530
01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:28.439
<v Speaker 15>We don't pretend to always know the answers, but we

1531
01:24:28.520 --> 01:24:30.960
<v Speaker 15>partner with and take the lead from activists and allies

1532
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.920
<v Speaker 15>who do, and we hope you'll join us in taking action.

1533
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:34.840
<v Speaker 14>To support them.

1534
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, you sound like you think you know all

1535
01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the answers. And again I'm telling you, if these are

1536
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:43.239
<v Speaker 1>things you're concerned about, I have just given you a

1537
01:24:43.359 --> 01:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>concrete way to have the maximum impact on the climb.

1538
01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Now here's what they'll tell you. And then this is

1539
01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:54.199
<v Speaker 1>always the rub, right, but if we shut down, we

1540
01:24:54.199 --> 01:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to influence or fund all this other stuff.

1541
01:24:57.800 --> 01:25:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, well, but the thing that you think

1542
01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to kill us every ten years, in the

1543
01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>next ten years, you could have the most immediate impact

1544
01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>on And if we're all dead and you think we're

1545
01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:11.359
<v Speaker 1>all gonna be dead here in ten years, then none

1546
01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of the other stuff matters. Doesn't matter. If a jail's racist,

1547
01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:18.119
<v Speaker 1>there's nobody in it because we're all dead, And then

1548
01:25:18.119 --> 01:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the cockroaches can live there. You know, whatever survives done refugees,

1549
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>You can't be a refugee if you're dead. I looked

1550
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:34.319
<v Speaker 1>it up. I did some research. Doesn't count. So yeah,

1551
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:37.479
<v Speaker 1>it's just like why they keep deciding to go ahead

1552
01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and get in this. Why anyone is we talked about

1553
01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:43.319
<v Speaker 1>earlier the Captain America thing. We'll get into more of

1554
01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that on Thursday. But the actor playing the new Captain America.

1555
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>So there's Captain America, but you know the thing he

1556
01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:51.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't represent is America. Why why are you doing that?

1557
01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I have a problem with actor Anthony Mackie. I tend

1558
01:25:54.439 --> 01:26:00.399
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy whenever I see him in something. I'm just

1559
01:26:00.439 --> 01:26:05.880
<v Speaker 1>like the why Selena Gomez who posted this and then

1560
01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.199
<v Speaker 1>immediately deleted it because even her fans were lighting her up.

1561
01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Only people are getting attacked.

1562
01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:20.159
<v Speaker 13>The children don't understand.

1563
01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:23.079
<v Speaker 1>I understand that one of the people on day one

1564
01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:27.239
<v Speaker 1>that was arrested, that lunatic in Boston, who's uh hold

1565
01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:28.640
<v Speaker 1>on Ross, I got it. You don't even have to

1566
01:26:28.640 --> 01:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>do it right here, that lunatic in Boston. We played

1567
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the audio of where he's uh, you know, screw Trump,

1568
01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:45.039
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I thought I had it anyway, you know,

1569
01:26:45.119 --> 01:26:47.159
<v Speaker 1>the you know the guy, he's just lunatic. Hees thanking

1570
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Obama and thanking Biden like it wasn't him. But on

1571
01:26:52.560 --> 01:26:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the same day they rep you're you're worried about children?

1572
01:26:55.319 --> 01:27:01.039
<v Speaker 1>One of the dudes raped a baby. What are you

1573
01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>crying about. I'm so sorry.

1574
01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:06.359
<v Speaker 7>I wish I could do something that it can't.

1575
01:27:06.640 --> 01:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do. I'll try every there. Well,

1576
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.439
<v Speaker 1>there are things you could do. You could financially assist

1577
01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:21.439
<v Speaker 1>people who wanted to come here so that they could

1578
01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:26.439
<v Speaker 1>avail themselves of the finance. You know, the financial opportunities here.

1579
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>You could do that. And by the way, I'm not

1580
01:27:30.159 --> 01:27:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I would never criticize you for that. If you want

1581
01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to do that with your money, and that's you, and

1582
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:36.079
<v Speaker 1>that's something you want to do or you want to

1583
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to flex. But what you're arguing for right

1584
01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>now is what people don't want. I text I. I

1585
01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:45.720
<v Speaker 1>tweeted this on on Friday. It was after the show,

1586
01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>but on Friday, I want to go get some food.

1587
01:27:47.960 --> 01:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I want to go get some Mexican food.

1588
01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And there's in high Point on the south end of

1589
01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the city. There's a little restaurant called Meet Takaria and

1590
01:27:58.000 --> 01:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I've eaten there a couple of times for lunch because's

1591
01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:02.560
<v Speaker 1>right now of the station. But I wanted Mexican food

1592
01:28:02.600 --> 01:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and they make Honduran food primarily, and so I asked

1593
01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the girl who's always there. I'm like, he's a good

1594
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Mexican restaurant. And she recommended a place called a Kias

1595
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Mexico a Kias Mexico and which just means here is Mexico.

1596
01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And I went over there. That place was amazing. The

1597
01:28:22.079 --> 01:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>food was so this is not a paid anything. I've

1598
01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>changed full price. And they also tricked me into doing

1599
01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a tequila shop. But what are you gonna do? So

1600
01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I go over there. It's loaded. It's loaded with white

1601
01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:37.760
<v Speaker 1>people and black people and brown people, and the staff

1602
01:28:37.800 --> 01:28:40.479
<v Speaker 1>there is primarily Hispanic. The bartender I believe it is

1603
01:28:40.479 --> 01:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>from Venezuela legally here, I might point out, and really

1604
01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>good English for only being here about I think four

1605
01:28:46.960 --> 01:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>or five years, she said, she so she and and

1606
01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:55.199
<v Speaker 1>so I'm talking to her. There's a male bartender. There's

1607
01:28:55.319 --> 01:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like four or five people. There's you know a couple

1608
01:28:57.960 --> 01:29:02.479
<v Speaker 1>of guys who I think we're from Mexico initially. Anyway,

1609
01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, they were all sitting there. I did

1610
01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:06.439
<v Speaker 1>not broach. I didn't bring any of this up. They

1611
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:10.159
<v Speaker 1>got TVs there and they're showing Trump and he's doing

1612
01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:12.319
<v Speaker 1>because he's doing the North Carolinavism. They're showing him on

1613
01:29:12.359 --> 01:29:17.199
<v Speaker 1>there they're having a conversation about the dirt bags who

1614
01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:20.239
<v Speaker 1>were part of the initial raids. Do you know why?

1615
01:29:21.319 --> 01:29:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Because and I can't speak for everyone in the restaurant,

1616
01:29:23.479 --> 01:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>nobody was running around looking nervous. They seem to be

1617
01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:29.399
<v Speaker 1>fully staffed. And I'm listening now to patrons, and they're

1618
01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:32.880
<v Speaker 1>speaking in Spanish, which I'm a much better at understanding

1619
01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:34.319
<v Speaker 1>than speaking. If you hear me the way I just

1620
01:29:34.319 --> 01:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>pronounced the name of the restaurant, but they're also speaking

1621
01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in English too, because there's a woman who's there with

1622
01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>him who looked to be a white lady and not Latina.

1623
01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>And then we all just started talking about it, and

1624
01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:51.199
<v Speaker 1>they're just like, because you know why, Because just like

1625
01:29:51.239 --> 01:29:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I talked about earlier, with people who are a minority,

1626
01:29:56.279 --> 01:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>who make their way, who get into a college camp

1627
01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is not with affirmative action. Always wondering if people are

1628
01:30:02.560 --> 01:30:05.359
<v Speaker 1>thinking they got there from affirmative action. People come to

1629
01:30:05.399 --> 01:30:08.159
<v Speaker 1>this country legally and not even just from Latin America,

1630
01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but that's the forefront of it. They don't you think

1631
01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:14.079
<v Speaker 1>they want to walk around with people assuming that they

1632
01:30:14.159 --> 01:30:17.520
<v Speaker 1>might be here illegally, because it's so top of mind,

1633
01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because they're seeing these stories like what happened to Lake

1634
01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and Riley and others because they're doing roundups in certain places,

1635
01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:29.039
<v Speaker 1>in certain cities that the Trump administration has targeted. Many

1636
01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of those cities were sanctuary cities, so it's easy pickings

1637
01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:35.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're grabbing the worst of the worst. And those

1638
01:30:35.319 --> 01:30:38.000
<v Speaker 1>are the very same people who have a higher likelihood

1639
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of living in communities because we tend to group together.

1640
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's why there's Chinatown, or there's the part of

1641
01:30:45.039 --> 01:30:48.279
<v Speaker 1>town where whatever town you live in, if it's of

1642
01:30:48.319 --> 01:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>decent size, you know where the Latin grocery store is,

1643
01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and people tend to live around that. So the likelihood

1644
01:30:55.600 --> 01:30:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that some of these dirtbags live in their own community

1645
01:30:57.880 --> 01:31:00.600
<v Speaker 1>could be harming their families and their kids. They're aware

1646
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:04.479
<v Speaker 1>of that. So don't give me this garbage. Eight forty seven.

1647
01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Let's get weather. Oh look at that, I short shrifted him,

1648
01:31:07.319 --> 01:31:10.199
<v Speaker 1>all right, sir? Can you give me an anpid firey?

1649
01:31:10.279 --> 01:31:10.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

1650
01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:15.039
<v Speaker 13>Fifties today, sixties tomorrow, fifties Thursday. Some of us may

1651
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:17.439
<v Speaker 13>get into the mid sixties tomorrow. Lots of sunshine around

1652
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:18.920
<v Speaker 13>even the overnight lows will be in the low to

1653
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:21.680
<v Speaker 13>mid thirties. So not a terrible run here before the

1654
01:31:21.680 --> 01:31:25.359
<v Speaker 13>showers get here probably Friday afternoon, but still well into

1655
01:31:25.359 --> 01:31:27.840
<v Speaker 13>the sixties, and we're back to the mid upper fifties

1656
01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.039
<v Speaker 13>with sunshine over the weekend. So the book ends good Saturday,

1657
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.800
<v Speaker 13>Sunday and also Thursday, Wednesday and today. The middle there

1658
01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:36.680
<v Speaker 13>kind of the heart of the stories where the showers

1659
01:31:36.680 --> 01:31:38.960
<v Speaker 13>are going to be. Most of them actually come while

1660
01:31:39.000 --> 01:31:42.439
<v Speaker 13>you're sleeping Friday night. But one to eighty from last week,

1661
01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:44.399
<v Speaker 13>case looks pretty good most of this week.

1662
01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't sleep. I'm like a robot man. So yeah,

1663
01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>thank you, appreciate it. All right, we'll come back with

1664
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Bellinger. Hang on, well, good morning, Casey.

1665
01:31:53.399 --> 01:31:57.560
<v Speaker 16>The emergence of an artificial intelligence startup called deep Seek

1666
01:31:57.640 --> 01:32:00.960
<v Speaker 16>triggered a tech sell off on Wall Street investors fear

1667
01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:03.279
<v Speaker 16>of the Chinese company could become a threat to the

1668
01:32:03.359 --> 01:32:06.560
<v Speaker 16>AI boom. Here in the US, The Nasdaq fell three

1669
01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:09.439
<v Speaker 16>percent yesterday, the S and P five hundred fell one

1670
01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:12.520
<v Speaker 16>and a half percent, while the blue chips posted games.

1671
01:32:12.560 --> 01:32:15.319
<v Speaker 16>The Dow closed two thirds of a percent higher. Now

1672
01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:17.960
<v Speaker 16>we turn that around today, S and P futures are

1673
01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:21.359
<v Speaker 16>up six points and the Nasdaq futures are up thirty five,

1674
01:32:21.479 --> 01:32:22.920
<v Speaker 16>while the Dow futures.

1677
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:29.840
<v Speaker 16>meeting that just got under way in Washington about a

1678
01:32:29.840 --> 01:32:32.760
<v Speaker 16>half hour ago. Scott Beissent can get to work as

1679
01:32:32.800 --> 01:32:36.680
<v Speaker 16>Treasury Secretary today. He was confirmed by the Senate late yesterday.

1680
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:40.600
<v Speaker 16>Pete Hegseth shocked the defense industry and his first day

1681
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:44.000
<v Speaker 16>is Defense Secretary. Sources say he ordered a halt to

1682
01:32:44.119 --> 01:32:48.600
<v Speaker 16>new army contracts and solicitations for new programs. Hag Seth

1683
01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:51.680
<v Speaker 16>wants to do a review checking the programs for, among

1684
01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:56.239
<v Speaker 16>other things, any clauses pertaining to diversity, equity and inclusion.

1687
01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:08.880
<v Speaker 16>companies to defend the practices. The ags A diversity equity

1688
01:33:08.880 --> 01:33:12.560
<v Speaker 16>and inclusion efforts go against the twenty twenty three Supreme

1689
01:33:12.600 --> 01:33:17.399
<v Speaker 16>Court ruling against affirmative action. Microsoft is reportedly among the

1690
01:33:17.399 --> 01:33:21.079
<v Speaker 16>companies interested in buying TikTok from its Chinese parent company.

1691
01:33:21.079 --> 01:33:25.039
<v Speaker 16>That is, according to President Trump. The restaurant Business newsletter

1692
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:29.039
<v Speaker 16>is advising restaurant tours to be prepared for the possibility

1693
